Add some mirror magic
Posted on May 19, 2014 by Daniel Brielmaier | 0 comments
Mirrors are great pieces of furniture that can do a lot for a room aesthetically. When strategically placed, mirrors can enlarge a room, and the illusion has been rendered effective enough for numerous business establishments who are short on space.
Aside from being good for creating the illusion of space, mirrors in themselves can also be decorative. In fact, many companies have taken to stylizing mirror frames in different, unique designs. The mirror frame is usually a good venue of creativity, as they can be used to accent patterns—anything from classic curlicues to much more modern zig zags and geometric designs. Mirrors can also come in several shapes, from rectangular floor lengths to circular vanity mirrors.
Floor mirrors are used both residentially and commercially. For instance, in shoe stores, floor mirrors help highlight shoe fits and other great products. Wall mirrors serve a more functional purpose, especially in bedrooms and bathrooms. In addition, they also play a part in funhouses, or eccentrically themed buildings, where they lend a surreal air brought about by ingenious plays on reflection.
Decorative mirrors are used primarily to add an extra sense of beauty to a place. They can also serve functional purposes, such as vanity mirrors in the hallway with shiny silver finishes. Whether you need to make a place look bigger or prettier, a strategic placement of mirrors can go a long way in changing the overall ambiance of your home.

Consider the Use
Reading lamps need a wider shade to provide plenty of light.
Consider the Room - What is the color and style of your room? Will the lamp have a starring role or compliment its surroundings?
Consider the Bulb
Be sure you have 2-3 inch separation from bulb to shade, especially for higher wattage bulbs. Be sure the top opening is wide enough to vent the heat. Compact Fluorescent bulbs are great for most lamps because they burn cooler, but you may need larger harp since CFL's are taller than standard light bulbs.

Trivia, Quotes, Notes and Allusions
Quotes (6)
"He'll be remembered for two things: that he won 31 games [in 1968], and that he spent a lot of time in jails and prisons. That's it." –Bill Gleason
"It's an all-too-common story: A promising young life is wasted by high-stakes gambling, easy money, or petty crime." –Chris Fowler
"There's never been another owner like him, in a good and bad way." —Dave Newhouse, Oakland Tribune
What Billy Martin relished more than anything, was confrontation with the front office. Calvin Griffith [the Twins' owner] would say, "Come on up to the office anytime except I take a little nap between 5:00 and 5:30," because he was at the ballpark all day. Five after 5:00, Billy would be knocking on his door. He was defiant. —JIM KAAT, former Twins pitcher
"Something that has to be understood if you care to have some sense of the historical figure that DiMaggio remains though he's dead, [is that] he was a product of his past." –Gay Talese
"There were so many off-the-fieldincidents [that] I felt like a crime reporter, rather than a sports eporter."
–Jeremy Schaap, ESPN
Notes (29)
Footage is featured of Chris Schenkel and Bob Wolff. Keith Erickson is also interviewed.
Appearing as Interviewee: Buddy Diliberto
The original version of this program featured a fragment of Unitas's role as a sportscaster in the Disney film Gus. When ESPN Classic re-edited the program upon Unitas's death in September 2002, the Gus footage was discarded to make way for (among other things) Raymond Berry's eulogy.
Includes rare color footage of the 1959 NFL Championship Game at Baltimore, which the Colts won 31-16.
This program originally aired on ESPN four days after Cal Ripken Jr. played his last game.
Jeff Andretti is interviewed.
Some people are convinced this program has aired earlier than January 26, 2001 (the date listed on IMDb).
Includes clips of Joe Namath's guest appearances on "The Brady Bunch" (episode "Mail Order Hero") and "The Simpsons" (episode "Bart Star").
Trivia (2)
As the Notes for this episode explains, ESPN Classic re-edited the ending of this program, taking out footage of Unitas's role in the Disney film Gus. What ESPN Classic did not remove was the acknowledgment to Walt Disney Pictures in the "Courtesy" caption at show's end.
No release of the Clemens bio reveals the Yanks' fates in any of the four World Series in which Roger wore the pinstripes. They went 2-2 in those Series. (Interestingly, Clemens would never win an A.L. Cy Young Award and a World Series ring in the same year.)

Score one for Joe Scarborough. The Morning Joe host today unleashed a tirade against the FBI for treating as a case of "workplace violence" the beheading by a fanatical Muslim convert of a fellow worker in Oklahoma. Scarborough lashed out at the FBI's political correctness in claiming that there was "no indication" that the suspect, Alton Nolen, was copying the recent ISIS beheadings.
Said Scarborough: "how stupid does the FBI really think we are? Who exactly are they afraid of offending?" Political correctness, in its more innocuous manifestations, can be good fodder for humor. But our government becomes so hobbled by PC that it cannot call Islamic fanaticism by its name, then political correctness becomes a grave threat to our national security.

This is a more delicate, juicier Morgon than the producer's Côte de Py. Foillard's Cuvée Corcelette exemplfies how far Beaujolais has come in the last few decades--the wine is so versatile and food friendly, served with a slight chill and a salad in the summer or a hearty stew of white beans and sausage in the winter.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2013 The Dragon's Tale Gamay Noir, from 282, 284 and 358 clones, is named after the typhoon that swept across Oregon that year. There were two pickings on October 3 and November 2, the second undergoing carbonic maceration. It has a delightful bouquet with lifted Morello cherry and cold stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with soft fleshy red fruit, moderate acidity and a slight vegetal tincture on the Chinon-like finish." (3/2015)

Only 300 cases produced and just happens to be the first vintage of Gamay produced by Xavier. I absolutely love Gamay from this region of the world.

Writer: New York City Wolf
Date:Tuesday November 9 2010
Time: 12:39AM
Old Tafford
Saturday 6th November 2010
Attendance: 75,285
Manchester United looked like being beaten for the first time in 23 for long periods of a second enthralling encounter against small fish Wolves on Saturday, but goals at the end of the first, and the very end of the second half from Park Ji-Sung sent Wolves fans on an agonizing trip home wondering just how their side had spurned yet another golden opportunity to turn over the Mighty Red Devils and try to fathom how this side, this squad, and this club of ours is left to languish in 19th position in the Premier League.
With the fire in their bellies, and confidence on a high after scoring two on their last visit here, and pumped up from last weeks shock win over neighbors Manchester City, Wolves looked more than a decent match for the majority of this game, looked the more likely to win it, and came away with nothing.
The league table doesn't lie, and the neutral will have seen this score flash up at full time and shrug their expectant shoulders- Wolves lost at United- no surprise there then, but to anyone inside the ground, or those watching on television or whichever other means, radio, internet, you name it- we could all only wonder how 'this' had happened again.
Similar to the Carling Cup encounter little over a week ago, the game took a slow start, but of either side, Wolves proved the more comfortable on the ball, maintaining possession and knocking the ball around with confidence, whilst the home crowd began to grumble at the sight of not just the ball sticking to the gold & black but every time United managed to find the ball only to repeatedly give it away.
Considering the fashion in which Matt Jarvis terrorized Wes Brown repeatedly in the cup encounter it came as some surprise to see the defender left with the hapless task of trying to tame the Premiership's fastest up and coming player, and once more, true to form, Brown was being given the run around from the early exchanges.
With Karl Henry proving he is not afraid to continue to put his foot in, marshaling the midfield with calm control, careful distribution and timely tackles, Nenad Milijias enjoying a third consecutive run out in the Old Gold, knocking the ball around with general precision, give or take the odd stray or read pass that was cut out, Jarvis and Stephen Hunt were left to push forward onto the United rearguard and repeatedly unsettled them with charging runs packed full of menace and intent.
If the back line, Stearman and Berra commanded the center, succesfully clearing away anything that came their way, Foley was his calm and industrious self on the right, and whilst many lambasted Bebe on the United right for a series of wasteful, wayward crosses, few were as quick to acknowledge that Stephen Ward hardly gave him a yard and forced Bebe into several early crosses, most of which ballooned over everyone or ended up in the stands.
With Kevin Doyle leading the line in exquisite fashion, Wolves were increasingly taking a strangle hold of the game, when coming towards the end of the first half, Gibson was for the first time given far too many yards to progress forward from an advanced midfield position and was allowed to slip a ball inside the box to the on rushing Park who steered the ball past Marcus Hahnemann thanks to the help of a deflection.
It was demoralizing to say the least and there was a fear that conceding a relatively soft goal after controlling long periods of the half, that Wolves heads would drop.
In all seriousness, United did start the second half looking rejuvenated from the goal.
There was a sense they had a sniff of blood, but Wolves looked like they were under orders to steady the ship and did so effectively. Again the home crowd showed dissatisfaction as Wolves again took the game by the scruff of the neck and began causing anxiety amongst the huge home support- evident from the fact that all the noise was coming from the visiting supporters who knew this game was far from over.
Clearly sharing the sentiment, Mick made his intentions clear just after the hour when he threw on both record signing Stephen Fletcher and fellow striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Within a minute, United were left stunned when Wolves crafted some fine build up play to feed the Blake, who with his first two touches, took the ball down with his back to goal, turned his man, and drove the ball home to send to visiting fans into raptures.
Not long after, Stephen Fletcher had the chance to both put his name in the history books and quiet possibly earn Mick the adulation as a tactical mastermind, but after Michael Mancienne delicately nodded perfectly into the path of the Scot, he blazed the ball high beyond the bar when in all reality he had the time to have brought it down and probably taken a touch before unleashing his effort.
It was not to be, and as the game wore into it's later stages United began to press. The home crowd drew a second wind, mostly exasperated with their sides performance but Wolves, again and again through Stears and Berra at the back appeared ready for anything.
There can be few complaints with the four minutes of time added on considering the second knock of heads Stearman had taken, but it was no comfort to anyone with a gold vein when Park cut in from the right, danced past two defenders, and flashed a left footed drive past Hahnemann at his near post.
It had been another outstanding performance from Wolves, but when the ball nestled in the net as the clock hit the 94th minute hearts were shattered once again and you must wonder how many times we can take this devestation before it begins to take it's toll on the fans, then the players psychological state. Arsenal next, and last seasons injury time defeat fresh in the memory. Doctor, 27,000 oxygen masks delivered to Molineux by Wednesday please. Get ready for another roller coaster.

It is almost a truism that marketing has become highly technology-intensive. A nearly ubiquitous component of any marketing technology portfolio is email marketing. In fact, there is a high probability your company is already using some form of it, even though you might not be aware of it. A related component is marketing automation. Customers often talk of these in the same breath. In this article, we will look at this distinction in some detail and also summarize what marketers should know when evaluating these technologies.

Dow Jones & Company has signed an agreement to acquire the stock and assets comprising the Alternative Investor Group of Wicks Business Information, LLC for a cash purchase price of $85 million, including net working capital (Dow Jones will assume no debt in the transaction). The purchase will be financed via operating cash flow and incremental borrowings under the company's commercial paper program. The purchase price could potentially be increased by $5 million, payable in 2008, if performance in 2007 exceeds currently projected 2007 levels. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2004 and is expected to be modestly accretive to Dow Jones earnings per share in 2004.
In an effort to maximize synergies, Alternative Investor will be integrated within the Dow Jones Newsletters division, which also includes the recently acquired Technologic Partners business that also serves the venture-capital and private-equity markets with its VentureWire newswire and conferences. This newly formed operating unit providing newsletters, databases, and conferences will be operated within the Dow Jones Newswires division, which in turn is part of the Dow Jones Electronic Publishing segment. Richard A. Shaffer, founder of Technologic Partners, will be editor and publisher of this unit, reporting to Paul Ingrassia, president of Dow Jones Newswires.
Alternative Investor is a provider of databases, newsletters, and industry conferences for the venture-capital market and newsletters and events for the private-equity market. Alternative Investor produces five databases, including Venture Source, a source of information on venture-capital deals, companies, and people that is built on proprietary information about which funds are investing in which companies and at what valuations. Venture capitalists then are able to use this information to analyze investing opportunities. Alternative Investor also publishes four newsletters and other publications, including Private Equity Analyst, a source of news and information covering the private-equity market and its investment specialties, including venture capital, leveraged buyouts, mezzanine investing, and turnarounds. Venture Source, Private Equity Analyst and the other Alternative Investor products will draw on content from all Dow Jones publications and its network of news staff around the world. Likewise, content from the Alternative Investor products will be made available to other Dow Jones publications and services.

- Gun control. Liberals are completely wrong about this. A fair number of them know better, too, but they sponsor lies about it as a form of class warfare against conservative-leaning gun owners.
- Nuclear power. They're wrong about this, too, and the cost in both dollars and human deaths by pollution and other fossil-fuel side-effects has been enormous.
- Affirmative action. These programs couldn't be a more diabolical or effective plan for plan for entrenching racial prejudice if the Aryan Nations had designed them.
- Abortion: The liberals' looney-toon feminist need to believe that a fetus one second before birth is a parasitic lump of tissue with no rights, but a fetus one second afterwards is a full human, has done half the job of making a reasoned debate on abortion nigh-impossible.
- Communism. I haven't forgiven the Left for sucking up to the monstrous evil that was the Soviet Union. And I never will.
- Socialism. Liberals have never met a tax, a government intervention, or a forcible redistribution of wealth they didn't like. Their economic program is Communism without the guts to admit it.
- Junk science. No medical study is too bogus and no environmental scare too fraudalent for liberals. If it rationalizes bashing capitalism or slathering on another layer of regulatory bureaucracy, they'll take it.
- Defining deviancy down. Liberals are in such a desperate rush to embrace the `victimized by society' and speak the language of compassion that they've forgotten how to condemn harmful, self-destructive and other-destructive behavior.
- William Jefferson Clinton. Sociopathic liar, perjurer, sexual predator. There was nothing but a sucking narcissistic vacuum where his principles should have been. Liberals worship him.
- Liberals, by and large, are fools.

QotD: Top 10 reasons not to be a leftist

The media zombie horde
In The Goldberg File email, Jonah Goldberg memorably characterizes the modern media:
When I go to Alaska to visit the Fair Jessica's people, I'll often hear some version of a joke about grizzly bears. The gist is, if a bear is chasing you, you don't need to be faster than the bear, you need to be faster than the guy you're hiking with. A similar dynamic applies in scandals of this nature: You don't have to be blameless, you just need to be harder to blame than the other guy.
That's because the media tends to stalk its prey like the unthinking zombie horde it so often is. Twenty miscreants, malefactors, and scalawags could be in on some scheme to defraud or bilk the public fisc, and the zombie horde will start chasing all of them, but the zombies will stop to feed on the first poor soul who can't keep up.
Now Bill Clinton always understood this. Whenever it was necessary, he'd reassure his co-conspirators and enablers that he had their back, right up until the minute he found it necessary to handcuff them to the rear fender of a broken down Ford Pinto. Sometimes he varied his techniques, of course. Here's a reenactment of how Bill Clinton treated Webb Hubbell. But you could always count on Bill to climb to safety over the backs of those who trusted him most.
Barack Obama, who holds a patent on a device that hurls aides and friends under a bus from great distances, also understands this. That is why Kathleen Sebelius these days looks a lot like a Soviet general on his way to brief Stalin on the early "progress" in the battle of Stalingrad.
Anyway, yesterday's hearings were just the early try-outs. There are 55 contractors and countless nameless bureaucrats who can be thrown into the Great Pit of Carkoon ("You're just determined to keep mixing metaphors aren't you?" — The Couch) and given the full scope of this fustercluck, they could all be made to walk the plank before this is over.

Failing to charm
Is the real reason Lance Armstrong's televised confessions failed to "redeem" him in the public eye just a lack of charm?
But by the standards we have come to expect in these things it was relatively candid, blessedly free of self-pity. He'd told a lot of lies. Now he was telling the truth. Yet if he was expecting this confession to stanch the flow of vitriol, it appeared to have the opposite effect.
Because if there is one thing we expect of professional cyclists, it is that they will compete fairly and stay clear of drugs. And if there is one thing we expect, no demand of our public figures, it is that they will tell the truth.
Oh really. Listening to all this high dudgeon, I was carried back to last September's Democratic convention, and the rapturous reception given to Bill Clinton, the former president and noted perjurist in the matter of Jones v Clinton.
That may have been the most famous of his lies, but it was hardly the first. Clinton was well known as a liar — an "unusually good" one, according to Bob Kerrey, the former senator — long before he ever reached the White House. As early as 1992, the question posed by his candidacy, as defined by Michael Kinsley, was not is he a liar, "but is he too much of a liar?" By the end the lies and abuses of power had piled up so high that Christopher Hitchens was forced to title his scathing account of the Clinton presidency No One Left To Lie To.
[. . .]
So let us drop the pretense that we're all so scandalized by Armstrong because he lied. Granted, he lied about cycling, rather than mere financial dealings or affairs of state. But the reason he is in such obloquy, and Clinton and Mulroney are not, is not because his lies were worse, but because he's not as good at it: because he is not as charming — shall we say manipulative? — as they. Frankly, when it comes to conning the public, he is not in their league.
Anyone can pull a con like Armstrong's. You just lie and keep on lying until someone catches you. It takes a master to keep the con going even after you've been caught.

Define or be defined: fiscal edition
Ron Hart talks about the distant past where congress passed budgets and those budgets were actually in surplus:
Most Americans expect politicians to work out a back-room deal to avoid embarrassing themselves again. The politicians feel these deals are too ugly for us to watch, so they are compelled to spare us the indignity of the "most transparent president" ever. Political deals are like sausage; it is best not to watch the product being made. The difference is, sausage as an end product is actually good.
In the Democratic vernacular, taxes have changed to "revenues." Long ago they replaced the word "spending" with "investments," especially when wasting money on Solyndra and the like. They think we are stupid.
When Bill Clinton so famously "balanced the budget" with the Internet boom and all the taxes from those stock sales, the GOP and Newt Gingrich passed a budget (yes, Congress used to do that) of $1.7 trillion in expenditures. Adjusted for inflation, our federal government would be spending $2.3 trillion today and collecting $2.5 trillion in "revenues," resulting in a $200 billion surplus. But instead of increasing government spending in line with normal inflation, under Bush and Obama we are spending $3.8 trillion today. Democrats, who believe we have a "revenue" problem instead of a "spending" problem, must also think they have a bartender problem, not a drinking problem.
Those Republican neocons who have never seen a country they do not want to bomb because it looked at us wrong, have to give on defense. We spend $1.19 trillion a year on defense — more than the other top 10-countries combined and more than six times what second-place China spends.

The racist history of gun control
Brendan O'Neill wonders how gun control — traditionally a racist and xenophobic attempt to disarm blacks and foreigners — became a left-wing policy:
One of the great mysteries of modern politics is how gun control came to be seen as a natural Left-wing cause. Following the horrific shootings in Aurora, Denver, the usual lineup of Left-liberal activists and commentators have pleaded, for the ten thousandth time, for America to get rid of its stupid constitutional guarantee of the right to bear arms and to clamp down on gun ownership. This is the default setting of virtually every observer who considers himself of the Left, particularly those outside of America, who love nothing more than to look down their long noses at the Wild West-style, gun-wielding, blood-spattered mess they believe modern America to be.
Which is all a bit weird, because for years — for two centuries, in fact — gun control was a largely Right-wing, reactionary campaign issue, not a Left-wing one. The fact that it has now been adopted by Leftists is very revealing indeed.
[. . .]
In the modern period, too, there was a hugely reactionary bent to gun-control campaigns. In the early 20th century new laws, such as the 1911 Sullivan Law in New York City, were passed to prevent the huge influx of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe from getting their hands on guns. As Gary Kleck puts it in his book Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America, gun control was anything but a liberal cause: "In the 19th and early 20th century, gun-control laws were often targeted at blacks in the south and the foreign-born in the north."
The Gun Control Act of 1968 was ostensibly passed in response to assassinations of Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King, but its real targets were inner-city black communities where there had been violent riots for three summers running and where some black activists were beginning to arm themselves. In the 1990s, Bill Clinton, recognising that his liberal supporters were converting en masse to the cause of gun control, started to talk about the "evil" of assault rifles. Who tended to own assault rifles? "Drug dealers, street gang members and other violent criminals", the Clinton adminstration said — long-recognised polite political codewords for blacks and Latinos.
Update: Dan Baum on the reduction in gun crime across the US by nearly half over the last two decades.
Among the many ways America differs from other countries when it comes to guns is that when a mass shooting happens in the United States, it's a gun story. How an obviously sick man could buy a gun; how terrible it is that guns are abundant; how we must ban particular types of guns that are especially dangerous. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence responded to the news with a gun-control petition. Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times has weighed in with an online column saying that "Politicians are far too cowardly to address gun violence . . . which keeps us from taking practical measures to avoid senseless shootings."
Compare that to the coverage and conversation after Anders Behring Breivik murdered sixty-nine people on the island of Utøya in Norway, a year ago next Sunday. Nobody focused on the gun. I had a hard time learning from the news reports what type of gun he used. Nobody asked, "How did he get a gun?" That seemed strange, because it's much harder to get a gun in Europe than it is here. But everybody, even the American media, seemed to understand that the heart of the Utøya massacre story was a tragically deranged man, not the rifle he fired. Instead of wringing their hands over the gun Breivik used, Norwegians saw the tragedy as the opening to a conversation about the rise of right-wing extremism in their country.
Rosenthal is wrong, by the way, that politicians haven't addressed gun violence. They have done so brilliantly, in a million different ways, which helps explain why the rate of violent crime is about half what it was twenty years ago. They simply haven't used gun control to do it. Gun laws are far looser than they were twenty years ago, even while crime is plunging — a galling juxtaposition for those who place their faith in tougher gun laws. The drop in violence is one of our few unalloyed public-policy success stories, though perhaps not for those who bemoan an "epidemic of gun violence" that doesn't exist anymore in order to make a political point.

"The unipolar era has not been a success for America"
Conrad Black examines the differences between the Cold War, when America had a clear mission, and the post-Cold War period, when America could be said to have completely lacked a coherent foreign policy:
Indeed, the overwhelming and relatively bloodless victory in the Cold War, the fruition of the brilliant American strategy of containment, left the United States as the only seriously Great Power in the world, a condition unique in the history of the nation-state, starting in the Middle Ages. As a result, there was, 20 years ago, a good deal of frothy (and, as it turns out, grossly premature) intellectual blather about the end of history and the political culmination of the world in democratic capitalism.
The unipolar era has not been a success for America. The great irony of these 20-something post-Cold War years has been that while the United States was the indispensable country in the triumph of capitalist democracy — its preservation from 1917 to 1941, and its outright victory in the following 50 years — it is not now one of the world's best, or even better, functioning democracies.
Under the Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama administrations, there has been no coherent strategy to replace the previous masterly and bipartisan missions to lead the West to victory in the Second World War and in the Cold War. Bill Clinton, on the world stage, as in America, and before that in the diminutive state of Arkansas, exuded bonhomous goodwill, extended free trade to Mexico, and expanded NATO into the former Soviet Union, suavely calling it "a partnership for peace." He moved in the Balkans, but only when the Europeans, who started by calling the challenge posed by Bosnian massacres "The hour of Europe," fell on their faces and started crying like frightened little pigs for America to end ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia. And even then, nothing would have happened if the Republican leader in the Senate, Robert Dole, a bravely wounded veteran of the European theatre in the Second World War, had not legislated military orders (lift and strike) normally in the province of the commander-in-chief. There never really was a Clinton foreign policy: His responses to the early terrorist attacks (Khobar Towers, the African embassies, the USS Cole) were very inadequate.
George W. Bush, forced to deal with the monstrous outrage of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, had a piercing, towel-snapping, locker room vision that since democracies do not engage in aggressive war, ergo, every country that was not already democratic should be propelled by the scruff of the neck and the small of the back toward democratization. Thus did Hamas replace Fatah in Gaza; the Muslim Brotherhood, (whose adherents had proudly murdered Anwar Sadat) is replacing Hosni Mubarak in Egypt; terrorist chaos is replacing Saleh in Yemen; and Hezbollah has more or less taken over from the Syrians in Lebanon. Trillions of dollars have been spent, along with over 6,000 American lives, in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it would be impetuous to forecast comparative stability and enlightenment in the near future of either country.

Canada's withdrawal from Kyoto was inevitable from the beginning
I was against the Kyoto agreement from the start, but the government of the day had to be seen to be more "green" than the Americans. John Ibbitson explains:
The Harper government's decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol tarnishes Canada before the world. Liberal and Conservative incompetence and mendacity are to blame. You and I are to blame. And Lehman Brothers had something to do with it as well.
It isn't easy for a country to descend, in the space of a single decade, from crusader to pariah, as Canada has done on the environment. But our political leaders were up to the task.
The first, worst mistake occurred at Kyoto itself in 1997, when then prime minister Jean Chrétien told Canadian negotiators to meet or beat the American commitment, whatever it took. The problem was that while the American commitment was ambitious, Bill Clinton never expected the Senate to ratify that commitment, and he was right.
The Liberals found themselves stuck with Draconian targets that, if met, would hobble oil sands production, hammer big industry in Ontario, and send home-heating bills through the roof. Their solution was to study the issue. And study. I remember sitting through an interminable briefing in 2003, in which officials patiently explained how Canada would meet its Kyoto targets. The only problem was that there was this enormous gap, which was to be closed through "future reductions." It was like having a household budget in which Miscellaneous was bigger than Mortgage.
Given the hammering that British PM David Cameron has been taking in the British press, he should send a bouquet of flowers to Stephen Harper for giving the media a different villain to abuse.
Update: Stephen Gordon says the same thing: inevitable from the beginning.
Notwithstanding economically illiterate attempts to pretend otherwise, higher consumer prices for GHG-emitting goods and services are an essential component of any serious attempt to reduce emissions. Counting on people to reduce GGE emissions out of the goodness of their hearts was the strategy of the Chrétien-Martin Liberal governments, and adopting this policy made Canada's Kyoto failure inevitable long before Stephen Harper's Conservatives came to power.
Political parties rarely win when they campaign on a platform that promises to increase the price of fossil fuels — the Progressive Conservative government of Joe Clark lost power in large part because of its proposal to increase the gasoline excise tax by 18 cents a gallon (4 cents a litre).
Update, the second: Oh, it's okay, apparently we're not allowed to abandon the "voluntary" agreement:
Remember how this was phrased? "sign it, it's just voluntary!"
Recall Rio 1992 "Earth Summit" where the meme was "hey, it's voluntary! … with a negotiating schedule attached". Apparently, like a Roach Motel, "countries check in but they can't check out". This email is from UNFCCC's list server and note my bolded section below. The arrogance, it burns.
[. . .]
"I regret that Canada has announced it will withdraw and am surprised over its timing. Whether or not Canada is a Party to the Kyoto Protocol, it has a legal obligation under the Convention to reduce its emissions, and a moral obligation to itself and future generations to lead in the global effort. Industrialized countries whose emissions have risen significantly since 1990, as is the case for Canada, remain in a weaker position to call on developing countries to limit their emissions."

Beating up on the Boomer generation
Walter Russell Mead has a bit of vitriol to spit at the Baby Boomers:
But at the level of public policy and moral leadership, as a generation we have largely failed. The Boomer Progressive Establishment in particular has been a huge disappointment to itself and to the country. The political class slumbered as the entitlement and pension crisis grew to ominous dimensions. Boomer financial leadership was selfish and shortsighted, by and large. Boomer CEOs accelerated the trend toward unlimited greed among corporate elites, and Boomer members of corporate boards sit by and let it happen. Boomer academics created a profoundly dysfunctional system that systemically shovels resources upward from students and adjuncts to overpaid administrators and professors who by and large have not, to say the least, done an outstanding job of transmitting the cultural heritage of the past to future generations. Boomer Hollywood execs created an amoral morass of sludge — and maybe I'm missing something, but nobody spends a lot of time talking about the towering cultural accomplishments of the world historical art geniuses of the Boomer years. Boomer greens enthusiastically bet their movement on the truly idiotic drive for a global carbon treaty; they are now grieving over their failure to make any measurable progress after decades spent and hundreds of millions of dollars thrown away. On the Boomer watch the American family and the American middle class entered major crises; by the time the Boomers have finished with it the health system will be an unaffordable and dysfunctional tangle — perhaps the most complicated, expensive and poorly designed such system in the history of the world.
All of this was done by a generation that never lost its confidence that it was smarter, better educated and more idealistic than its Depression-surviving, World War-winning, segregation-ending, prosperity-building parents. We didn't need their stinking faith, their stinking morals, or their pathetically conformist codes of moral behavior. We were better than that; after all, we grokked Jefferson Airplane, achieved nirvana on LSD and had a spiritual wealth and sensitivity that our boorish bourgeois forbears could not grasp. They might be doers, builders and achievers — but we Boomers grooved, man, we had sex in the park, we grew our hair long, and we listened to sexy musical lyrics about drugs that those pathetic old losers could not even understand.
What the Boomers as a generation missed (there were, of course and thankfully, many honorable individual exceptions) was the core set of values that every generation must discover to make a successful transition to real adulthood: maturity. Collectively the Boomers continued to follow ideals they associated with youth and individualism: fulfillment and "creativity" rather than endurance and commitment. Boomer spouses dropped families because relationships with spouses or children or mortgage payments no longer "fulfilled" them; Boomer society tolerated the most selfish and immature behavior in its public and cultural leaders out of the classically youthful and immature belief that intolerance and hypocrisy are greater sins than the dereliction of duty. That the greatest and most effective political leader the Baby Boom produced was William Jefferson Clinton tells you all you need to know.

So, if it wasn't Wall Street, then who inflated the US housing bubble anyway?
Peter Wallison has the answer:
Beginning in 1992, the government required Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to direct a substantial portion of their mortgage financing to borrowers who were at or below the median income in their communities. The original legislative quota was 30%. But the Department of Housing and Urban Development was given authority to adjust it, and through the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations HUD raised the quota to 50% by 2000 and 55% by 2007.
It is certainly possible to find prime borrowers among people with incomes below the median. But when more than half of the mortgages Fannie and Freddie were required to buy were required to have that characteristic, these two government-sponsored enterprises had to significantly reduce their underwriting standards.
Fannie and Freddie were not the only government-backed or government-controlled organizations that were enlisted in this process. The Federal Housing Administration was competing with Fannie and Freddie for the same mortgages. And thanks to rules adopted in 1995 under the Community Reinvestment Act, regulated banks as well as savings and loan associations had to make a certain number of loans to borrowers who were at or below 80% of the median income in the areas they served.

QotD: the international double standard
A long time ago we had a president who was doing a chubby intern.
And some Americans got uptight about it.
And we were told by Europeans everywhere 'Relax, it's just sex. He's the leader of the country, they have mistresses, it happens get over it you uptight prudes.'
So now with Silvio Berlusconi having sex with underage prostitutes and orgies and I don't know what-all I guess that makes Europe — and Italy in particular — about eighteen times more sophisticated [1] than us hicks in the United States and so-on and so-forth.
Y'all must be so proud.

Bipartisan big government
Bruce F. Webster addresses the "Clinton Budget Fallacy" by downloading some publicly accessible numbers and doing a bit of simple math:
Put simply, from 1999 to 2010, the US population grew by 10% and inflation reduced the value of the dollar by about 30%. Combine those two, and Federal spending should have gone up roughly 43% over that period. Instead, it went up 135%, or three times what it should have. Setting aside some of the bailouts, etc., that are in the budget, it's still clear that almost every Federal line item went up at least twice what it should have during that period. Almost nothing (other than "general government") grew a "mere" 43%.
I fully blame Bush and the 2002-2006 Republicans as much as I blame Obama and the 2006-2010 Democrats. The real question is whether the 2010 Republicans have the brains and the will to turn back the tide.
The smart money, I'm afraid, is betting against that outcome.

Hate the president: it's a hallowed tradition
Steve Chapman looks at the long, long, long history of President Derangement Syndrome:
A new president, pursuing policies well within the political mainstream, evokes weirdly angry and intense denunciations from opponents—a reaction hard to explain in terms of anything he has actually done. Does that suggest, as Jimmy Carter insists, that their true motivation lies in racism?
No, it doesn't, because I'm not talking about Barack Obama. I'm talking about George W. Bush and Bill Clinton — both of whom, from the day they took office, managed to convince a minority of Americans that they were not just wrong but illegitimate, dangerous, and thoroughly evil. Obama's troubles are not exactly unprecedented.
[. . .]
So you don't need to turn to race to explain the virulent animosity against Obama. What all the presidents who previously endured irresponsible slander had in common, after all, is that they were white.
Clinton's experience suggests that merely being a Democrat is enough to evoke hysteria in some quarters. In matters of policy, he was about as congenial as any conservative could have hoped — cooperating with Republicans to balance the budget, advancing free trade, rejecting an international treaty banning land mines, signing welfare reform, and threatening to bomb North Korea over its nuclear program. Yet even today, many on the right regard him as an extreme liberal.
I don't remember President Ford rousing the standard levels of derangement among his opponents, but that could be because it was before I started paying much attention to U.S. politics. Other than Ford, all the other occupants of that office seem to have generated deep animosity (Nixon? Hell yeah. Carter? Yep. Reagan? A subgenre of musical animosity. Bush I? Yep.)

Team Bear Club, the Lawrence collective that consists of guys like Greg Enemy, Ebony Tusks, Robocopter and Morri$, is a prolific crew, throwing parties and booking shows on the reg. The weekly Goomba Rave has been going for a couple of months now, every Thursday night at the Bottleneck (737 New Hampshire, in Lawrence).
We recently talked with Phil Canty, Bear Club's official party wrangler (also a musician), about Goomba and keeping things fresh.
The Pitch: How's the Rave night going so far?
Canty: Goomba Rave has been going on for about two months. It's been going really, really well. At every one so far, we've had more than, like, 250 people, which is incredible on a Thursday night. They're trying to call it the new Neon, but I don't know if it's reached that level yet, but we're hoping we can definitely call that a claim that's true. We've been trying to keep it mixed up, though. So, like, every other week, we've had a guest just to keep it fresh and different. Two weeks ago, we had Albert Redwine, the creator of seapunk, come out and play. He was our official first guest. So now we're having Clicks & Whistles guest, our second big guest.
How did the Clicks & Whistles show come to be?
Clicks & Whistles are buddies of mine, so it wasn't too hard to get them to come in and play, but they wanted to definitely come out and play in Kansas City.
Any future plans to keep the Rave going through the summer?
The plan is over the next couple of weeks, we're actually adding another resident. I can't say the name yet; it's going to be a surprise. Also, part of the vibe of going to Goomba Rave is that we have a peculiar stage set-up. We have a control station that we set up in the middle of the stage with lights, and shit like that. But we're kind of changing the configuration to coincide with the new DJ. So in the next couple of weeks when we debut that, I think that change well help things out along during the summer, and definitely get more people out.
Clicks & Whistles run the rave tonight. Cost is $5 for those 18-20 and $3 for those 21 and older. Doors open at 9 p.m.

Bob Letcher: The workforce has become as dilapidated as the proverbial rust-belt factory. It took a long time for us all to get us all into this mess, and it's going to take at least as long for us all to work ourselves back out of it
Progressive Media Advocates
By Robert Illes
Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
Joe Mathews: But with immigration flatlining and the climate drying up, it may soon be.

Not so fast: Evangelicals differ with their leaders on immigration reform
Many leaders support citizenship moves, but rank and file differ
Nick Ut, Associated Press
It's been in the headlines for months.
"Evangelicals push Congress for immigration changes."
"Among U.S. evangelicals, surprising support for immigration reform."
"Obama's immigration plan encourages evangelicals."
Outlets including The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, Reuters and numerous others have written more or less the same story on the subject.
The problem is that it's not exactly true. Evangelicals are not largely behind comprehensive immigration reform, which is commonly taken to mean a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and, simultaneously, measures for improved enforcement of immigration law.
Yes, scores of leaders, including prominent conservatives from the Southern Baptist Convention and Focus on the Family, have signed on to such coalitions as the Evangelical Immigration Table, Christian Churches Together and G92 — all of which advocate for comprehensive reform.
But among the rank and file, the attitude is something closer to "not so fast."
Allan Wall, an Oklahoma schoolteacher and practicing evangelical who writes about immigration, put it this way: "Despite the stereotype of some kind of monolithic army of evangelical zombies being controlled by their leaders, in reality it's a rather fractious bunch."
Data appear to support Wall's view. A June 2012 Pew Forum survey found that evangelicals prioritize "better border security" over "creating a path to citizenship" by a ratio of nearly 3 to 1. Among the American public in general, the ratio is 1 to 1.
The sense among many, if not most, evangelicals is that the government will grant citizenship to illegal immigrants, but not hold up the enforcement end of the bargain.
Show the enforcement
Phyllis Schlafly, president of the conservative advocacy group Eagle Forum, estimates that roughly 80 percent of her roughly 30,000-member organization is evangelical.
"I don't hear any of them saying they support these ideas to give legal residency to illegal immigrants," she said.
Schlafly points to past disappointments as the reason for their views.
"The thing is, we tried this amnesty with Reagan and it was a big failure. In fact, it was a big fraud. And if you keep doing the same thing, why are you going to get a different result?"
But Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, bristled at the notion that current proposals constitute amnesty.
Land, along with eight other evangelical leaders, heads the Evangelical Immigration Table, a group of more than 100 pastors, academics and other leaders calling for a bipartisan solution on immigration.
"What we're proposing is not amnesty," he said. "If you have to pay a fine and back taxes, and you have to learn to read, write and speak English to stay here and you have to go on probationary status, that's not amnesty."
Wall, who lived in Mexico for 15 years and whose wife is Mexican, isn't buying it. "We're not very confident the government is going to do all these things — the back taxes and showing English proficiency — because of the simple fact that the Obama administration right now is not enforcing the law anyway."
He said that if lawmakers first concentrated on security, he could see people warming up to other measures.

"I have no answer to why or how" the attack occurred, said Butler, 41, a former ICE agent. "Everything was coming together. Everything was peachy, peachy, lovely."
Chisem's son did fairly well at a nearby high school and liked to play video games, he said.
"He has to go through all this now," a tearful Butler said. "His father loved him so much. I'm in disbelief."
Butler said he and Chisem became friends while they were in the Navy and Chisem also had two older daughters and worked at Los Angeles International Airport on contraband and smuggling investigations.
Chisem was the godfather of Butler's kids and the two played chess and golf together. They also argued about football teams: Chisem favored the San Francisco 49ers, Butler liked the Dallas Cowboys.
"I loved him like my own brother," Butler said. "He would do anything for anybody."
Fellow agents arrived at Chisem's house, lined the driveway and saluted as the body, covered by an American flag, was wheeled to a coroner's van.
"This is a difficult time for ICE, especially for the family and loved ones of the agent. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers,' ICE Director John Morton said in a statement.

Dentistry Special Topics What is periodontal disease? • 'Periodontal' comes from two Greek words that mean 'around the tooth.' Periodontal disease is a series of changes that are associated with the inflammation and loss of the deep supporting structures of teeth. Periodontal Disease • Did you know that approximately 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some form or periodontal disease by 3 years of age? Plaque • Is a white, slippery film that collects around the gingival sulcus of the tooth. It is composed of bacteria, food debris, exfoliated cells, and salivary glycoproteins. • Over time, plaque will mineralize on the teeth to form dental calculus, a brown or yellow deposit How does periodontal disease develop? • Food particles and bacteria collect along the gumline forming plaque. If plaque is not removed, minerals in the saliva combine with the plaque and form tartar (or calculus) which adheres strongly to the teeth. • Plaque starts to mineralize 3-5 days after it forms. The tartar is irritating to the gums and causes an inflammation called gingivitis. This can be seen as reddening of the gums adjacent to the teeth. It also causes bad breath. Calculus and plaque deposits on these teeth have caused the gingiva to become inflamed (gingivitis). Plaque + Saliva= Tartar/calculus (mineralization of Plaque/saliva) • If the calculus is not removed, it builds up under the gums. It separates the gums from the teeth to form "pockets" and encourages even more bacterial growth. At this point the damage is irreversible, and called "periodontal" disease. It can be very painful and can lead to loose teeth, abscesses, and bone loss or infection. Periodontitis • Once present, destruction of the periodontal tissues has begun and will continue if not treated. • Once the periodontal ligament has been destroyed, it is extremely difficult to replace. • Timeline=months to years before the tooth actually falls out. • Organs effected: liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs. What factors affect the development of periodontal disease? • Numerous factors play a role in the formation of plaque, tartar, and the development of periodontal disease. These include: • Age and general health status • Diet and chewing behavior • Breed, genetics, and tooth alignment • Grooming habits • Home care • Mouth environment • Age and Health Status: • Periodontal disease more commonly affects older animals. • Diet and Chewing Behavior: • Studies show that hard kibbles are slightly better than canned foods at keeping plaque from accumulating on the teeth. Dogs that chew on various toys or edible dental chews may remove some of the plaque build-up. • Breed, Genetics, and Tooth Alignment: • Small breed and brachycephalic dogs are at greater risk of periodontal disease because their teeth are often crowded together. This results in an increased accumulation of plaque because the normal cleansing mechanisms are hindered. • Grooming Habits: • Hair accumulation and impaction around the tooth can increase the development of tartar. • Home Care: • Regular brushing of dog's teeth can greatly reduce the accumulation of plaque and development of tartar, thus reducing the risk of periodontal disease. • Mouth Environment: • Dogs that open-mouth breathe tend to have a more tenacious plaque because of the dehydration of the oral cavity. • In general, the more acid the saliva, the more rapid the build-up of plaque. • The number and type of bacteria in the mouth influence the progression of periodontal disease. What are the signs of periodontal disease? • As periodontal disease progresses, you may observe the following signs: • Purulent exudate (pus) around the tooth • Persistent bad breath • Gums that bleed easily • Sensitivity around the mouth • Pawing at the mouth • Gums that are inflamed (red), hyperplastic, or receding • Loose or missing teeth • Loss of appetite • Stomach or intestinal upsets • Drooling • Difficulty chewing or eating How is periodontal disease diagnosed? • A number of criteria are used to assess the oral health of a dog and assign a grade. These include the amount and distribution of plaque and calculus, health of the gingiva (gums), radiologic appearance, and the depth of pockets. ('Deep pockets' do not refer to the financial status of the owner, but to the depth of the gingival sulcus (the 'pocket' formed between the tooth and the gum). The pocket depth is measured using a calibrated probe. In a dog, the normal pocket depth is 2-3 mm.) After assessing these parameters, the severity of disease can be determined and a prognosis made. Periodontal Examination Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV What veterinary procedures are used to treat periodontal disease? • Treatment depends upon the severity (Grade) of the problem. In all cases, a pre- surgical exam should be conducted. This may, in some instances, include some pre- anesthetic blood testing. • Many times the patient will be started on antibiotics several days before the scheduled dental procedures. Dental cleanings generally require anesthesia. • Grade I or Grade II: • A routine professional prophylaxis(dental cleaning and polishing, often called a 'prophy') will be performed on dogs with Grade I or II disease. • The plaque and tartar build-up will be removed from the teeth, both above and below the gumline, with handheld and ultrasonic scalers. • The teeth are then polished to remove microscopic scratches that predispose to plaque formation and calculus build-up. Each tooth and the entire oral cavity are checked for any disease. Fluoride may be applied. Stages of Periodontal Disease • Grade III and Grade IV: • After the teeth are scaled, probing and dental radiology will be performed in order to select the appropriate treatment. Treatment options are root planing and subgingival curettage, periodontal debridement, gingivectomy, periodontal surgery, special therapeutics, and tooth extraction. (Moderate Periodontitis) Tooth mobility chart is on next slide. Cont. Stage 4 Periodontal disease has destroyed a significant portion of the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament of these incisor teeth. The gingiva has receded from the crowns of these teeth, and the tooth roots are now exposed. This is an irreversible stage of periodontitis disease! Severe/Advanced In Summary!

Poor gingivitis. prognosis. Technician Note • The key to prevention of periodontal disease is to minimize plaque accumulation by means of proper diet, routine professional dental scaling and polishing, and daily teeth brushing or mouth rinsing. CTVT pg. 873 • Root planing: Root planing involves removing residual calculus and diseased cementum or dentin, and smoothing the root surface. This procedure is difficult to learn and usually requires months of training and practice. • Subgingival curettage: Subgingival curettage removes diseased epithelium and connective tissue. This is also a difficult procedure. Curettes are used subgingivally to scale tooth roots and debride the gingival sulcus. They come in various angles to improve access to the tooth roots. Double-ended curettes Close-up view: Shank and working end of curettes • Periodontal debridement: Periodontal debridement may be performed instead of root planing and gingival curettage. • In this procedure, irritants to the tooth and root surface such as bacteria and endotoxins produced by the bacteria are removed. This is accomplished through special ultrasonic scalers. The scaler is held in a modified pen grasp. The strokes of the scaler should be made through the wrist and not the fingers to avoid operator hand fatigue. An ultrasonic scaler is used to clean the tooth of calculus and plaque deposits. The water helps to cool the instrument tip and flush debris off the tooth and gingiva. When using mechanical scalers, the instrument must be kept moving on the tooth surface and should not be on the tooth for more than 10-15 seconds to avoid heat buildup. • Gingivectomy: During a gingivectomy, hyperplastic or excess gingiva is removed. The area between this excess tissue and the tooth is a perfect habitat for bacteria. • Periodontal surgery: These surgeries involve opening a flap of the gingiva over the root of the tooth to be able to reach the deeper structures. • Special therapeutics: Newer products on the market include artificial materials that can be placed inside the pockets to stimulate bone and periodontal growth. Some include antibiotics that are released for several weeks after the application. Others are sealants and plaque preventives. • Tooth extraction: In some cases, a tooth cannot be saved or the owner elects not to have other procedures performed. In these cases, tooth extraction is the only alternative. What types of aftercare and home care are needed for pets with Grade I or II disease? • Pets with Grade I or II disease will be placed on a regular brushing and home dental care program to control plaque. Measures include the mechanical removal of plaque through brushing and chewing; the chemical removal of plaque through toothpastes, gels and rinses; and proper nutrition with the possible use of specially formulated foods which reduce the amount of plaque and stain on teeth. What types of aftercare and home care are needed for pets with Grade III or IV disease? • Pets with Grade III or IV disease will need to be placed on several types of therapy. Owner commitment to this care is crucial. • Pain and anti-inflammatory medication: Medication for pain relief and to decrease the amount of inflammation may be administered post-operatively and for several weeks following the dental procedures. • Antibiotics: Antibiotic therapy is important. Commonly used antibiotics include amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (Clavamox), clindamycin (Antirobe), and cefadroxil (Cefa-Tabs and Cefa-Drops). These antibiotics may be given 1-2 weeks postsurgically. • Pulse therapy, in which antibiotics are administered for the first 5 days of every month in an attempt to lower the bacterial count in the mouth, may also be used. • Topical medications: Products containing zinc ascorbate, stannous fluoride, chlorhexidine or plaque preventives may need to be applied to the teeth on a regular basis. • Limit or eliminate chew toys: If flap surgeries were performed, chew toys will need to be eliminated for the first month so healing can take place. In other instances chew toys, except for soft ones, may need to be removed. • Diet: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to feed the pet only soft food for the week or so after treatment. The veterinarian may then suggest feeding the pet a specialized dry diet that helps control the build-up of plaque and tartar. • Regular check-ups: Dogs with periodontal disease will need frequent check-ups to assess their oral health. For some animals, it may be advisable to recheck pocket depth 4-6 weeks after treatment. For others, routine examinations 2-4 times a year will be needed. • PREVENTION --- PREVENTION --- PREVENTION How Can We Prevent Periodontal Disease? • Proper diet • Dental scaling and polishing • Daily teeth brushing or mouth rinsing
