On with it...keep centered, grounded, balanced, and connected. :)
After being diagnosed with celiac disease in Nov '08, I find that my eat-as-you-go life style must drastically change AND that I have to do my own cooking. Something I honestly do not have time or energy for - cooking, eating, and exercising.
I have also been noticing my quality of life slipping, especially since this diagnosis. So, a little at a time, I will learn to feed myself well, strengthen my body, and make time for what really matters - living a good life.
****Update, February 2010 - Ugh
Not doing so well now. Either I picked up sympathy pregnancy weight from my daughter or became so overwhelmed by the defiant teenager in the house that I gave up taking care of myself. Now I have even more health problems and weight to lose than when I joined SparkPeople in the first place! OMG!
Now what? No idea really. Trying to get the bursitis, major reflux, muscle cramping, high level of chronic pain, and other unmentionables that will require some minor surgery to correct under control so I can have some dignity back.
Tomorrow is the "summit" meeting with the runaway teen (not mine) who wants "significant changes". Uh huh. Get a GED and get a job buster or get right back to where you been; you ain't runnin' this house pal and never will.
I gotta get my life back in order, holy tree of life batman. This is not cool. WTH happened????
****Update, October 2009 - Do-Over Phase
My utilization of fruit, vegetables, meat, and both from scratch and ready-mix gluten-free items for cooking is so awesome. I have also hammered down the challenge I was having with spices so that they are no longer a mystery to me when it comes to adjusting the taste of a meal. My guys (bf and his son) both scarf down what I put on the table and Matt started asking his friends to stay for supper. Now that's pretty awesome to me. My kids used to wait for the sound of the smoke detector to tell if dinner was being prepared as well as who was preparing it. :D
The quitting smoking thing isn't going as well as I would like, but I have cut down and I don't buy the darn things anymore. Mostly I stick to my goal of not smoking in the car and my new goal is to not smoke during the workday. Last week I had one cigarette per day Mon - Fri. My dbf says that's awesome, me, I think it's not so good.
Since I have been so achy and tired lately, I have not found a lot of time for real exercise. There are a lot of other things I do; regular daily chores, but that's about it. My dbf does help a LOT in that regard. If I said I was grateful for that it would be a gross understatement.
Gained back 7 pounds. That's pretty disgusting. Could be because I am eating better, not exercising except when doing chores, and really just plain exhausted most of the time.
*Update, Jun '09 - Phase III - I am now an awesome cook and I eat a lot better than I was when I started. My intake of High Fructose Corn Syrup is very close to zero and I don't drink coffee daily any longer. After seeing a very scary picture of my lungs, I am working hard to quit smoking so I can stick around and watch my grandkids grow up while I enjoy the spectacular new relationship I now have.
My new doctor is also removing my hormone replacement therapy because my bones are thinning rapidly and my body is doing other strange things. This has brought back all the migraines, muscle cramps, a few digestive issues, and several other problems that the hormones were keeping under control. But, I'd rather have stronger bones and let my body get itself under some semblance of control than continue to reduce my activity level to nothing.
In July, I will be going through more testing. This should provide a bigger picture of what is next for me on the rest of the path through middle age. :)
*Update, Feb '09 - Phase II - I am slowly finding time for cooking, eating, and exercising. It is a slow process, changing this many habits is not easy but I am determined to do so. I discover more things my body does not like to eat besides gluten: apples, tomatoes, peppers, additives, preservatives, and I am having more anaphylactic reactions to over-the-counter things like cold/flu and ibuprofen. It is an interesting journey to say the least!
My muscle tone is improving with exercise. Although I am not to the point of being able to take the stairs, I do take a flight now and then or walk up or down the escalator to the bus tunnel when I can instead of ride; sometimes I even take the regular stairs for one level. My knees let me know if it's ok or not!
The lower back is still not able to deal with much. This is a sad thing to me and what I wish to do the most about. Shopping becomes painful after 10-15 minutes, standing for more than that is nearly impossible. It must be done so I do it but it is bloody exhausting. I'm still looking for ways and methods to improve the strength and stamina of my back.
Protein and fiber seem to be my biggest challenge as is getting enough water. I have noticed that enough water reduces the number of migraines I get and other general improvements. I bought flax meal to start off March; plan to add this to my smoothies to add protein/fiber to my diet. We'll see how this works out and if my body freaks out.
I also have a new book - The Yeast Connection, by William G.Crook, M.D. - to read because I have trouble with yeasty foods and other symptoms that may be related. That will be my new commuter bus book soon for my round trip to Seattle every day.

Thanks for the kind words.
Honestly, I'm not an advocate for trying to make "lite" versions of the same stuff that got me fat to begin with. It creates an unfair standard of comparison. ... you're still stuck in the same mindset of foods that were problems before, IMHO.
It's the difference between more-better-different and making a completely different context for your food. It subtle and sounds like a semantic argument I realize, but it makes a difference.
So given that I wouldn't even try to do the "lite" lasagna.
Maybe instead take whole wheat lasagna noodles and try a Rachel Ray trick of using the noodles for a variation on a roulade. Single-serving rolled noodle dishes.
Maybe some roasted vegetables spiked with a herb/balsamic mixture (I've become a huge fan of black truffle vinegar pared with Creole Seasoning). And perhaps a roasted garlic-roasted red onion (or fennel) puree instead of a tomato sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs.
You can keep the sauce and roulades separate for easy freezing, though I personally have trouble with leftovers, as they encourage me to overeat. So I don't opt for the make-ahead method and opt for configuring my pantry to be able to make single-serving meals quickly. Two approaches for the same thing.
Bear in mind roasted garlic and roasted red onion or fennel can be very sweet, so balance it with some heat and earthy herbs and vegetables to pull it together. Using an artichoke puree could work too, maybe. Just depends on what you like.

*Laughs* You asked me about kamikaze cooking last month (I've been slow on my online posting lately) ... and I'm laughing because that's pretty much hte only cooking Kevin and I do.
It's actually a huge challenge coming up with structured recipes because we really want to empower folks to have the chutzpah to do some daring kamikaze cooking.
Last night as a black bean-corn-sweet potato chowder with our mole spice rub. Usually I use rubs in the more conventional sense -- why not as a base for soup? I fold in 1 egg/2 egg whites for more body and protein. Amazing.

GoooOOO Lymphs!
Check out Youtube vids for ideas on WTH to do with it if you want more ideas. I have a new respect for people who do this *pant pant*. I admire your perseverance through low vit D and likely low sunshine quotient. When I lived in AK, tons of people in January'd go to Hawaii -- I never had the moola, but I sure understand why!

Department of Atmospheric Sciences Graduate Students' Distinguished Visiting Lecture
Lecture: "Mercury in the Global Environment—Where Does It Come From, Where Does It Go?"
Professor Daniel Jacob
Prof. Daniel Jacob
Harvard University
May 21, 2015 (Thursday)
7:30-8:30 pm,
Kane Hall 210
Online lecture registration is closed (http://tinyurl.com/JacobRSVP).
About the Lecture
When people think of mercury, they tend to think of the element in its silvery, fluid state—the stuff to avoid if a thermometer breaks. It's a fascinating metal in that it is liquid at room temperature, but it is present in the atmosphere as an elemental gas. Does mercury come from the atmosphere, bodies of water, soil, intentional use of mercury in products and processes (commercial mercury)? Discover where it comes from and where it goes.
About the Speaker
Daniel J. Jacob is the Vasco McCoy Family Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Environmental Engineering at Harvard University. Professor Jacob is one of the group leaders for the Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group at Harvard. His research interests lie in the field of global atmospheric chemistry, climate change, air pollution and biogeochemical cycles. He has been honored with the Haagen-Smit Prize from Atmospheric Environment, James B. Macelwane Medal from the American Geophysical Union, and NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal. He is a top-ranked geoscientist in the world according to the Institute for Scientific Information based on citations and was ranked 16th "hottest researcher in the world" on the basis of frequently cited papers.

No one wanted immigration reform either, and as Senator McConnell confirmed yesterday, it isn't happening in 2014. Maybe the Congressional GOP is developing the ability to actually listen to a very well-wired world that is watching very closely and whose opinions can accurately be gauged by paying attention, and that is a good thing iof the trend continues.
People do very much understand and deeply care about and resent the cut to the career military COLA and do very clearly understand and want repealed the awful medical device tax. So the House GOP leadership should again listen and respond. A repeal of both attached to the debt hike would be a potent package that many Democrats in both chambers will have to vote for. Indeed, the GOPers who wouldn't vote for such a package won't vote for any package at all, so why not get an accurate head count of the GOPers who don't care about any 2014 elections other than their own?
Again, given these realities, why hasn't that package been put to the caucus for a vote? If that proposed double win on the repeals of the career military COLA cut and the medical device tax doesn't get whatever critical mass the Speaker is looking for --the Hastert rule is clearly not in force at this moment-- why isn't package after package being discussed and voted on rather than gossiped about? Inside baseball wisecracks don't make for a winning strategy with either the base or the undecided middle that is currently more angry with the Democrats than the GOP, nor is waiting for Democrats to steal a march a good idea either. (Arkansas endangered Democratic Senator Mark Pryor desperately wants to author the repeal of the military COLA cut he voted for and Congressman Tom Cotton opposed; why would the House GOP let him get even that slippery handhold? In hopes that he will say out loud that he was for the COLA cut before he was against it?)
Democrats keep saying "clean, clean, clean" --and that is a great target for mockery if and when the GOP sends them a bill that includes measures the Democrats are already on record saying they support, like the repeals of the career military COLA cut and medical device tax. (30 Senate Democrats voted to repeal the medical device tax in May of 2013.) If any of the endangered Senate Democrats vote no on such a package or if Harry Reid refuses to bring it up, the GOP has another gold-plated argument to make with the public. The talk of offsets and "smoothing" etc is all noise. Focus on the substance of the must pass bill and get it over to the Senate. Senator Kelly Ayotte has the perfect revenue measure, so use it. (To repeat: 30 Senate Democrats voted to repeal the medical device tax last May.) Put House and Senate Democrats to the test on the medical device tax next week, along with the repeal of the military COLA cut they and the GOP know has turned out to be political poison.
The time to tackle the deficit and entitlement reform will be with both Houses of Congress in GOP hands, next December and beyond. That won't happen if the GOP botches this moment, and time isn't on their side. Call your House GOP member and tell them to demand the COLA and medical device tax repeal and get on with it ASAP. Their switchboard is 202-224-3121.
Once a debt limit bill passes the House, see what the Senate does, and if Obama-Reid choose obstruction, start talking now about Democrats refusal to undo the damage they inflicted on the vets and on entrepreneurs all a cross the country even as Harry Reid risks default. Thus does the GOP repair the damage done to the national security conservatives and keep the debate focused at least on a part of Obamacare the public gets --the most stupid of the bill's many stupid revenue features.
Many emailed and asked again for the 2014 list of Senate races I discussed Thursday in which the GOP candidate is likely or in the hunt to win a seat held by a Democrat, and asked where they should spread their "small donation" money. (It really does matter, these $50 and $100 checks. Really.) The list is below with a number behind the race that indicates my personal priority for donations. (I think Mike Rounds in South Dakota and Shelley Moore Capito are locks, so my numbering system puts them at the bottom though they are the GOP's strongest bets. The Cotton-Pryor race in Arkansas is priority number 1 for me, and the campaigns of Terri Lynn Land in Michigan, Thom Tillis in North Carolina and Ed Gillespie in Virginia are my recommendations for the next three "gives" at this time as other races need clarity from primaries or better polling data.)
The path to 51 (or more) Senate seats is very clear, but only if the GOP caucus gets past this debt limit iceberg and on to hearings, hearings, hearings and a focus on Obamacare at home and Iran/Syria/Libya abroad. It would also help to keep attention on the "cut-Defense-first-deep-and-only-Democrats" as well by focusing on the insane plan floated this week by President Obama and Secretary Hagel to reduce the carrier fleet by retiring the George Washington, even as the PRC surges into its blue water navy era.)

Early in the season, many fans asked if the real Tom Brady could please stand up? Well, Brady has silenced his critics from earlier in the year as he has played his best football of late.
Brady outplayed Peyton Manning on Sunday night, as Brady completed 34-of-50 passes for 344 yards and three touchdowns.
Tom E. Curran on Quick Slants discussed how the talk about Brady's demise at the beginning of the season came far too quick.
"People were frantic about Tom Brady's hand, about his age, about his succession plan," Curran said. "The only thing missing was a Ryan Mallet billboard out there on Route 1. Apparently the guy who threw 109 touchdown passes and 24 picks the previous three years had completely lost it."
Mary Paoletti used her time to talk about the Patriots upcoming game against the Houston Texans, which might pose more problems than people think.
"Who thought when New England's 2013 schedule was released that the game against Houston might be a trap game," Paoletti said. "The Patriots by all accounts should kill the Texans, unless they buy into their own hype – caught off toppling Denver – they could be in danger of not taking the Texans seriously."

From Revd Mike Dixon
Sir, — Which planet does the Revd Richard Thomas (
Comment, 24 September) live on? We have a democratically elected Government
that made the promise in its manifesto to ban fox-hunting, which is in line
with the will of more than 70 per cent of this country (according to all
objective polls). The issue has been discussed exhaustively for many years, and
has been brought before Parliament and overwhelmingly supported there, except
in the unelected section.
To equate this with fundamentalism is a grotesque misuse of language. As
many people who live in the real countryside (not the effete Oxfordshires of
this world) know, the cry of the hunters is, I hope, the last croak of
feudalism, where the rich and powerful still consider it their right to ride
roughshod over the dastardly lower classes. Bring on the Parliament Act.
The Vicarage, Shilbottle, Alnwick
Northumberland NE66 2XR
From Cllr Frank McManusSir, — The Revd Richard Thomas needs to
recognise that there is nothing new in the excesses of some police officers in
defending Parliament against possible hostile incursions. Similar methods were
used against Vietnam demonstrators in 1968, and against miners in 1984. In
neither instance has there been an adequate inquiry or corrective action of the

I hold no brief for Tony Blair; but it is Parliament that has voted
unwhipped to ban hunting, in accordance with Labour's election pledges, 1997
and 2001, to put the issue to a free vote and finalise it this session. I have
never come across an instance of a party's being so vilified for fulfilling a
decisive mandate.

hence his excessively sulphurous invective.

githook-perltidy - run perltidy and podtidy before Git commits
Make sure everyone uses the same tidy options across your project:
$ perltidy -b -w -dop | grep -v dump-options > .perltidyrc $ echo '--columns 72' > .podtidy-opts $ git add .perltidyrc .podtidy-opts $ git commit
Install the pre-commit and post-commit hooks:
$ githook-perltidy install
githook-perltidy is a script that can be invoked by Git pre-commit and post-commit hooks to run perltidy and podtidy on Perl and POD files (and optionally run make(1) targets), ensuring that your project's code is always cleanly committed.
This script is is efficient: it only modifies Perl and POD files that are being committed and not every file in your repository. It also tries its hardest to be safe: the index and working tree are stashed away beforehand, and restored in the event of failure.
There are three types of action this script will take as determed by the first argument:
Should be run from the command-line in the top-level directory of your repository. Writes pre-commit and post-commit files in the $GIT_DIR/hooks/ directory. Any MAKE ARGS given will be added to the
githook-perltidy pre-commit call.
This command will fail if there is no .perltidyrc file in the repository, if the hooks directory isn't found, or if either of the hook files already exist.
Called from a Git pre-commit hook. Backs up your index and working tree into a Git stash. Runs perltidy on any Perl files in the Git index using the .perltidyrc. If .podtidy-opts exists then podtidy will also be run on any POD files in the Git index, otherwise a warning is issued.
If any MAKE ARGS are given they will be passed to a make call. This way you can ensure that your code passes a
make test or
make disttest check before each commit. If the PERLTIDY_MAKE environment variable exists it will override any arguments. Setting PERLTIDY_MAKE="" will skip the make call entirely.
Failure of any of the above will result in a hard reset and the saved stash popped (I.e. re-applied and deleted). The commit will be stopped. On success the index is updated with the tidied files and the commit is allowed to proceed. In the event that your index was an interactive or patched version of your working tree, the stash will be kept for the post-commit hook. Otherwise it will be dropped.
This command will fail if there is no .perltidyrc file in the repository.
Called from a Git post-commit hook to re-apply stashed (but not indexed) changes. In the event that your index was an interactive or patched version of your working tree, the post-commit command does the following:
There are two ways in which githook-perltidy behaviour may affect your existing workflow. Firstly if you are accustomed to commiting changes to files which are still open in your editor, your editor may complain that the underlying file has changed on disk. Possibily your editor doesn't even detect the change and your next write will not be 'tidy'.
Secondly, aborting a commit with an empty commit message or via a later command in the pre-commit hook will still result in changed (tidied) files on disk and in the index.
Perltidy command options file.
Podtidy command options file. This is githook-perltidy specific.
A temporary file used to communicate between the pre-commit and post-commit calls.
This tool is managed via github:
githooks(5), perltidy(1), podtidy(1)

Hydroxymethyl Butyrate (HMB)
Supplement Forms/Alternate Names:
- Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyric Acid
Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Technically "beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid," HMB is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body when the amino acid leucine breaks down. Leucine is found in particularly high concentrations in muscles. During athletic training, damage to the muscles leads to the breakdown of leucine as well as increased HMB levels. Evidence suggests that taking HMB supplements might signal the body to slow down the destruction of muscle tissue. 1 However, while promising, the research record at present is contradictory and marked by an absence of large studies.
SourcesHMB is not an essential nutrient, so there is no established requirement. HMB is found in small amounts in citrus fruit and catfish. To get a therapeutic dosage, however, you need to take a supplement in powder or pill form.
Therapeutic DosagesA typical therapeutic dosage of HMB is 3 g daily.Be careful not to confuse HMB with gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a similar supplement. GHB can cause severe sedation, especially when combined with other sedating substances, such as alcohol or anti-anxiety drugs.
Therapeutic UsesAccording to some but not all of the small double-blind trials performed thus far, HMB may improve response to weight training. 2-9,21,24,25 One small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found hints that HMB might help prevent muscle damage during prolonged exercise, thereby potentially enhancing recovery during athletic training ; 10 however, a follow-up study failed to find this benefit. 25 A very small study found evidence that HMB might improve aerobic exercise capacity. 26 Very weak evidence suggests that HMB might improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 18

The Sporto Pam is a cute way to stay warm this winter without those clunky boots. This duck shoe has the waterproof rubber upper that's Sporto specializes in, and the faux fur collar means these don't go deep into the closet once snow has hit the ground. The rubber sole provides traction and a 360 degree lacing system gives as snug of a fit as you'd like. Don't give up and switch to boots just yet, the Sporto Pam is a comfortable alternative.

Family Advocacy Program
4/7/2011 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- April is Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. Although the name is self-explanatory, some may still be unaware of what child abuse entails.
The following provides a few insights into warning signs of child abuse, why it occurs, how to address when it does occur and how to prevent it from occurring.
When many hear the phrase "child abuse" they immediately tune out, possibly due to their own discomfort with the subject matter or don't feel the subject matter relates to them, among other reasons. While for many people it is a difficult subject to deal with, hearing about abuse of a child triggers many feelings and judgments.
Abuse comes in many forms -- physical, verbal, emotional, neglect or sexual -- and has numerous and significant consequences.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that 1.25 million children experienced maltreatment between 2005 and 2006. This suggests that many people have experienced or know someone who has experienced child abuse.
Some potential warning signs of child abuse include: excessively withdrawn, fearful or anxious about doing something wrong or extremes in behavior. This could include extremely compliant or extremely demanding, extremely passive or extremely aggressive actions or tantrums. Another sign may be that the child doesn't seem to be attached to the parent or caregiver.
So, why does the child abuse occur? Some would consider looking at risk factors of parents or primary care providers, unrealistic expectations of the child, impulsivity, limited or no support, substance use or abuse, poor decision making, lack of parenting skills or a parent who may have experienced abuse as a child. There seems to be no one reason, however, looked at it holistically, one can better understand why it's occurring.
Some things to consider for those that may suspect abuse occurring:
Remain calm. A common reaction to news as unpleasant and shocking as child abuse is denial. However, someone that displays denial to a child or shows shock or disgust at what they are saying may cause the child to be afraid to talk about it and shut down. As hard as it may be, remain as calm and reassuring as possible.
Don't interrogate. Let the child explain in his or her own words what happened. This may confuse and fluster the child and make it harder for them to continue their story.
Reassure the child that they did nothing wrong. It takes a lot for a child to come forward about abuse. Reassure him or her that what is said is taken seriously and that it is not the child's fault.
Safety comes first. If you feel that your safety or the safety of the child would be threatened if intervening, contact the Family Advocacy Program or security forces.
Some factors that help mitigate the possibility of abuse include:
Learn what is age appropriate and what is not. Having realistic expectations of what children can handle at certain ages will help avoid frustration and anger at normal child behavior. For example, newborns are not going to sleep through the night without a peep and toddlers are not going to be able to sit quietly for extended periods of time.
Develop new parenting skills. Learning to control emotions is critical. Start by learning appropriate discipline techniques and how to set clear boundaries for children.
Parenting classes, books and seminars are a way to get this information. One can also turn to other parents for tips and advice.
Take care of yourself. People who are not getting enough rest and support or feeling overwhelmed are much more likely to succumb to anger. Sleep deprivation, common in parents of young children, adds to moodiness and irritability.
Learn how to can get emotions under control. The first step to getting emotions under control is realizing that they are there. For those that were abused as a child, they may have an especially difficult time getting in touch with a range of emotions. They may have had to deny or repress them as a child, and now they spill out without control.

FAP has abuse prevention services, as well. Family Advocacy Strengths Training (FAST) and New Parent Support Program (NPSP) are only a call away. FAST offers marital, family and individual therapy. NPSP offers parents the opportunity to understand age appropriate developmental expectations of children and alternative discipline strategies. For further information, contact FAP at 781-377-4791.

Haeco: Corrugated trim removal system
TRS-2 system removes leftover trim, virtually eliminates bad boxes and line stoppages.
The trim removal system effectively removes corrugated trim to ensure proper gluing, and virtually eliminates production stops or post-production searches for "bad boxes" due to trim caught in the glue station. Designed for mid- to high-volume operations, the system's high-performance, long-life DC motor produces up to 18,000 hits/minute with safe, flexible straps. The TRS-2 adjusts to accommodate various sizes of corrugated sheet, and safely removes extra material with the replaceable, wear-resistant straps. A unique hub design allows strap adjustment and/or replacement easily and inexpensively with no tools required. The torque-limited DC motor optimizes worker safety, and provides quieter operation than air power.
"Typically, the trim often gets hung up in the gluing station preventing proper application of the glue and resulting in a bad box," said Jerry Henline, President, HAECO. "Early users with between 100 and 200 bad boxes a day reduced it to zero with the TRS-2, and the ROI was less than six months."
The TRS-1 is easy to install, operate and maintain. The system includes a linear-bearing mounting bracket with Lexan shield assembly.

I found these cute mice at the farm and fleet. My cat that loves to play fetch keeps losing his mice. I needed bulk supply. This is a 12 pack of multi colored mice. Some are yarn and some are fur. I gave one to each of the cats and they are having a blast with them!
Pros: lots to choose from
Cons: none

Multiples are always welcome
posted 6 years ago
Our cats just love these mice, each cat of course has to have her own. Eventually they end up under the refrig., couch, be, etc. It is great to have multiples on hand so I don't have to hunt them down.
Pros: many mice
Cons: I end up having to find them all

We love buying these large packs so that there are plenty to go around, even after they get batted under the furniture. If we dip them in a little catnip, it's just that much more fun.

This week on CounterSpin: Reporters can always find many themes in election season, but some are saying this time around there's really only one and that's money. A new study from the Center for Public Integrity examines the fundraising going into the midterm elections; what impact is the Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling having on the already prepossessing flow of dollars to candidates and their PR? We'll hear from the study's author, Peter Stone, the head of Center for Public Integrity's Money and Politics team.
Also on the show: The economic meltdown and the government response to it are one of the most important stories in recent memory. What if it's being seriously misrepresented in the media, such that public understanding of key elements is virtually upside down? Our guest says when it comes to the financial institution bailout program TARP, proponents of the now-expired program are seriously distorting its terms and impact. Dean Baker is co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research; he'll join us to talk turkey about TARP.
That's coming up but first, as usual, we'll take a look back at the week's press.
—In light of the recent and tragic spate of gay youth suicides, the Washington Post's On Faith blog chose to honor National Coming Out day, October 11, with a guest post by raging homophobe Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.
The post, titled "Christian Compassion Requires the Truth About Harms of Homosexuality," accused "homosexual activist groups" (and their allies in media and education) of being the real bullies, pushing gay kids to accept themselves and believe they can't change. It's that, Perkins wrote, that creates "a sense of despair that could lead to suicide."
As evidence, Perkins cited two studies that he says show that depression amongst gay people is not connected to discrimination. The trouble is, the two studies actually say the opposite, as Jim Burroway of Box Turtle Bulletin was able to demonstrate by actually clicking on the links Perkins provided—presumably, Burroway says, "for decoration." One study author actually predicted precisely the sort of anti-gay misuse of the work that Perkins illustrates. But twisting facts isn't unusual for Perkins; his group often relies on pseudo-scientific anti-gay "studies" like those of the Family Research Institute, whose head, Paul Cameron, once argued that "extermination of homosexuals" might be needed in the next three to four years.
Yet Perkins is a go-to guy for corporate media. When he put out a statement saying repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell would "jeopardize our nation's security to advance the agenda of the radical homosexual lobby," CNN felt that merited two interviews, while MSNBC went with Perkins' colleague Peter Sprigg, who warned that a repeal was "guaranteed" to lead to sexual assault—by gays, not against them.
The heartening thing about the Post column is that the comments on the blog are overwhelmingly, and fiercely, critical of "On Faith" editors Jon Meacham and Sally Quinn's decision to give space to Perkins on the subject and not to fact-check him. But we still have to wonder when corporate media outlets will stop lending legitimacy to lying bigots in the first place.
—In the debate over what to do with the Bush tax cuts, many Republicans have tried to argue that raising taxes on the wealthy is really something else entirely.
Washington Post columnist George Will tried the tack on October 10, slamming Barack Obama as a "chronic campaigner" who's trying to "arouse the masses" with a deceptive line about how the cuts will mainly affect "millionaires and billionaires." Will offers a counter-example: "In Obama's Chicago, a high school principal can earn $148,000. A police officer with 25 years on the force can earn $114,000—not counting overtime. If the principal and the officer are married, supposedly they are rich."
So the tax hike on the wealthy is actually a hike on cops and principals? It's too bad the Post feels like it has to print this stuff—especially since just a few weeks ago they published a chart that actually explained how the tax plan would work. Will's married couple would face little, if any, tax increase— as much as $400, but probably less.
As the Post explained, actual millionaires would be treated differently. Under the Democrats' plan, those with incomes of $1 million or more would still pay $6,000 less compared to pre-Bush tax rates, but they wouldn't receive, as the Republicans' tax plan would provide, the full $100,000 tax break that Bush gave them.
So the Democrat's tax "increase" for "millionaires and billionaires" would be negligible for the Chicago public servants that Will is attempting to use to get a better deal for the truly wealthy, which includes himself.
—On the October 10 edition of NBC's Meet the Press, Time magazine columnist Joe Klein came on to talk about the mood of the country heading into the midterm election. But as is painfully often the case with big-time pundits, he wound up revealing more about himself.
Trying to explain how voters feel about Washington, Klein provided this anecdote about the public:
The idea that businesses easily accommodate working mothers will come as a surprise to working mothers—most of whom would probably disagree with the idea that a dedicated place to express breast milk is a "ridiculous provision" in a healthcare law, especially since we can't all work for Joe Klein's dad. For the record, there doesn't actually appear to be a small business breast pump mandate in the new healthcare law; if anything, such employers would seem to be eligible for an exemption. But Klein's goal on the show was to point out the ridiculous, and he did that just fine.
—"New kids' TV channel raises product-placement concerns" was the headline of an October 5 Los Angeles Times story. But concerns go rather beyond that on the launch of the Hub, a new kids TV network that's co-owned by a toy company. Yes, with shows based on toy lines G.I. Joe, Transformers, My Little Pony and Pound Puppies, along with Family Game Night, in which contestants play giant-size versions of network co-owner Hasbro's games, it's pretty much every parent's dream. Executive Margaret Loesch says she gets that Hasbro's ownership is a "hot button" but she'd prefer you focus on the other owner, cable giant Discovery. Still, the paper notes, "neither partner is backing off the idea that one of the objectives of the Hub is to move Hasbro's products." As for the FCC, those valiant defenders of the public good, the piece notes that "during shows based on a toy or game, the FCC bars advertisements for that toy or game." I, for one, feel better already.
—And finally, who says U.S. media are too negative? When it comes to Afghan civilian casualties of the U.S./NATO War, the U.S. corporate press' glass is always half full. Take the headlines from a single day, October 13. The London Guardian has a story, "Afghan civilian war injuries double in Kandahar conflict," on the news that the number of Afghan civilians hospitalized for serious war wounds has doubled in 12 months in Kandahar, the focus of Operation Dragon Strike, an ongoing U.S.-led campaign against Taliban strongholds. That day's USA Today has a piece on civilian casualties too, headlined "Civilian casualties in Afghanistan fall sharply" which celebrates, apropos of nothing in particular, that the number of civilians killed or injured by coalition airstrikes has dropped "over the past several years," according to coalition statistics. Which approach you prefer might depend on whether or not you want to feel good, or know what's going on.
CounterSpin: Follow the money is meant to be a, if not the, cardinal imperative for political reporters, perhaps never more so than at election time. That doesn't mean it's easy, and it's been made even harder by rulings that allow political donors to be even more hidden than before. Why is it important to know who donates or their relationship to candidate campaigns? And have we lost the ability to do that?
Peter Stone has been covering campaign finance and lobbying for decades, breaking stories on Jack Abramoff's influence peddling at the National Journal, and reporting on BCCI at Legal Times. He now leads the Money and Politics Team at the Center for Public Integrity and is the author of their new report on campaign cash. He joins us now by phone from Washington, D.C.
Welcome to CounterSpin, Peter Stone!
Peter Stone: Thanks much.
CS: We know money plays a role in elections, and the bigger the money, the bigger the role. We think it's important to know the sources of that money, not as a parlor game, but because we believe there to be a relationship between who a politician gets money from and how they shape legislation. So, what is new and significant about money in these midterm elections, in terms of its quantity and its sources?
PS: What's new this year is the rise of more outside groups, particularly on the GOP side, outside groups that are allied with the party, trying to help dozens of House and Senate candidates by running ads in their districts or their states. The spending this year has soared in part because of the Supreme Court ruling—Citizens United v. the SEC—that overturned a couple of decades of campaign finance law and permitted corporations and unions to spend unlimited sums on ads and other campaign activities that specifically endorse candidates. The ruling was very controversial from the get-go and early polls showed that some 80 percent of the public opposed the decision by the high court. The decision basically helped to open the flood gates to corporations who wanted to put money into outside groups. Many corporations, according to analysts and campaign finance lawyers, have been wary of doing it on their own because they feared public backlash; they feared consumer protests; they feared liberal groups. But they like the idea, or they apparently like the idea, of putting money into groups where their names are not disclosed. And there's been a proliferation of these groups this year. Top GOP strategists, principally former White House aids Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie starting mulling the idea of more outside spending late last year, thinking about the need to create more groups that could take in money. This is even before the Supreme Court decision came down. So they were conceiving the idea of groups back then. They played a big role in the spring in launching American Crossroads and a couple months later, its affiliate Crossroads GPS, which allows for anonymous donors under IRS provisions. American Crossroads is set up in a way that it has to report its large donors every month. But they set up two arms of this group, and one has been doing very well taking in anonymous donations. So the Supreme Court decision came down in January and kind of was a Godsend to these groups and others as well. Karl Rove had the first meeting back in April, at his house, with many of these groups to talk about the need for expanded coordination this year, which is perfectly legal as long as the outside groups do not coordinate with party committees or candidates.
CS: Now, that's what I was going to ask: it's not illegal as long as?…
PS: They have to do it among themselves. They can't do it with the party committees, and there's no evidence that they have done it with the party committees. But these outside groups are full of veterans who've worked the party committees before. They're savvy insiders. They know how to play the game; let's put it that way. And they've built a kind of shadow GOP here, which is expected to spend roughly 300 million—that's based on their budget projections—on ads and get out the vote for GOP candidates in dozens of Senate and House contests.
CS: Well, let me ask you, I learned from National Public Radio that American Crossroads, this group that you've just been talking about, is now at times aggressively "correcting" journalists who report that Karl Rove is behind the group. Ken Vogel of Politico told NPR that the group has urged them and other media even to take down pictures of Rove and Ed Gillespie from stories that were posted online about American Crossroads or Crossroads GPS, because it's "misleading". How do you think a reporter should respond to that?
PS: Well, they've called Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie informal advisers from the beginning—that's their term for them. They're not paid; they're not on staff—that's what they've said. And I believe that's true—they're not paid, and they're not on staff. But the two helped get both groups off the ground by raising millions of dollars back in the spring in the first report about American Crossroads, that they'd taken a trip down to Texas together early in the year and seen some major donors there. They've been key players, strategists. I think they're trying to downplay their role, and I think the spokesmen for the group take umbrage at the term "started by Karl Rove" but it's kind of splitting the difference, if you will.
CS: Your report describes "a virtual Wild West, with fewer rules and more cash than ever," and a source says: "The financial flows into this election cycle are beyond regulation and beyond the existing mechanisms of the Federal Election Commission and the IRS." That seems finally like something for journalists to not just document, which is very important, but possibly to raise some alarm bells about. What are your concerns about the situation?
PS: Well, I think journalists are looking closely trying to find out who some of the anonymous donors are. It's very hard. I've been working on that. I mentioned one who I discovered based on several sources I trusted. We know that Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has given a million dollars to the U.S. Chamber based on sources that others reported. I've asked a few people at different groups who are their big donors. Scott Reed, a GOP operative who started a new group just this summer called the Commission on Hope, Growth and Opportunity, told me on the record when I asked about that that the big three stepping into the batters box are financial service, healthcare, and energy interests—not naming any companies, but those are the sectors he identified.
CS: So you can take a lead from that…
PS: So I think we have an idea that certain sectors are ripe for fundraising, and certain sectors have been appealed to a great deal. The exact totals we have from those sectors, the exact companies we don't know. And obviously there are lots of other donors outside those sectors, as well.
CS: So it's a matter, really, of just asking questions and keeping on asking them.
PS: Well, it's partly a matter of asking questions. Ultimately there's legislation around that would require more transparency—a bill called the Disclose Act passed the House this year that would require trade groups and others, some of these other groups, to identify who their major donors are in ads. And the bill got out through the House, but it's been blocked twice in the Senate on party-line votes and doesn't have much chance this year. It's possible that it might get through next year. That would be kind of a sunshine measure that would allow for more scrutiny of where some of the money is coming from.
CS: We've been speaking with Peter Stone, of the Money and Politics Team at the Center for Public Integrity. Find them and their new report on campaign cash on their website; it's PublicIntegrity.org.
Peter Stone, thank you very much for joining us this week on CounterSpin.
PS: It's been a pleasure.
CounterSpin: A Wall Street Journal report says financial institutions on Wall Street are set to pay a record-breaking $144 billion in compensation and benefits this year, which represents a four percent raise over the previous record of $139 billion, which they got: last year. Before government "solutions" like TARP (the Troubled Assets Relief Program), the "problems" were popularly understood to be: banks that were "too big to fail," a Wall Street culture encouraging irresponsible risk-taking, and the unfair trickle-down of the costs of that gambling. After the bailout, and TARP officially expired October 3 …well, what's different, exactly? Should a public looking to take away lessons from the financial meltdown and the political response to it get those lessons from, say, the October 3, Washington Post editorial headlined, "The tale of TARP; A good-news story that's actually true"?
Here to help us sort through the arguments you're likely reading and hearing about TARP is economist Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research and author most recently of Taking Economics Seriously.
Welcome back to CounterSpin, Dean Baker!
Dean Baker: Thanks for having me on.
CS: Well, the Washington Post editorial says "sometimes the spin is true: TARP, reviled by populists of the left and right, produced more benefit for the U.S. economy at lower cost to taxpayers than even its strongest initial supporters expected." In any event, they conclude, we have to weigh its costs "against the costs of not intervening." The New York Times on October 1 went past "lower cost to taxpayers" to saying that TARP, besides as one source has it "saving the world from financial meltdown," also "could conceivably earn taxpayers a profit." So not only is the world saved, but I should look out for a check?
DB: Yeah, well don't look too far. There's a lot of game playing here, and these people presumably know better. I assume it's done in many other contexts. For example, back in '94-'95, when we had the Mexican Tequila loan crisis, we extended loan guarantees and at the end of the day because, in large part, we extended the loan guarantees, the Mexican government didn't need them, and we got paid some amount on that and they said well we made a profit. This is game playing. These people know better. The credit, the guarantees from the U.S. government are enormously valuable. And basically we gave something of enormous value to the biggest banks in the country, many of the richest people in the country, the top executives, stockholders, or creditors, and they allowed them to stay in business and to, as we see now, thrive. And that was enormously valuable to them. They paid way below market interest for that. Now we got some money back on it. We got much, much less if they just had supposedly auctioned off, in effect TARP rights, we're going to guarantee your institution. Suppose we had auctioned that off. That would have been enormously valuable, we would have gotten much, much more money. So this is kind of game playing. If you envision a counterfactual where we say, okay, suppose we didn't make sure that Citigroup and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and Bank of America went under, well, you would have had those people would have lost trillions of dollars in wealth, which in effect, would be up for grabs. That would be available for the rest of us because you wouldn't have these huge banks out there operating. The idea that somehow the economy was in danger, that it was going to collapse, that really was an absurd scenario that was invented by the banks to basically get money from taxpayers.
CS: David Ignatius had a column in the Washington Post October 14, that echoed the themes that TARP, even though the hoi polloi hated it, really was good stuff, and he said, "ignoring government's achievements in times of crisis is willfully stupid." Ignatius says we should keep our eyes on the real villains, namely the private companies that made these bad decisions. In your mind, is there a conflict, as he's suggesting, between criticizing the financial players and criticizing responses like TARP?
DB: Well, everyone I know put the two in the same boat in the sense that people criticized the government because they were doing the will of Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and the other bad actors in this story. So I'm not quite sure who he is thinking of. I don't think there's anyone that quite fits that boat that blames the government who doesn't also blame Wall Street. I think that the basic story is that people are upset that government responded to the whims of Wall Street and was prepared to cough up trillions in loans and loan guarantees when Wall Street was in trouble but now you have—well we have 15 million people unemployed and, you know, I don't think anyone feels good about that, but that's not a crisis. But they were literally saying the world's going to end. People were saying stuff like that, people like Ben Bernanke, people like Henry Paulson, so I don't mean your man in the street, I mean people in positions of enormous responsibility were saying absolute doomsday if we didn't get the money that would keep the Wall Street banks in business.
CS: Well Gretchen Morgenson at the New York Times has pretty consistently been a more critical voice on these things. Her October 2, story says not only to take the claims of success, of TARP's success, with an "extra hefty grain of salt," but also to "Count on Sequels to TARP," because the legislation promoted as reducing the threat that these huge banks pose for taxpayers and the for the economy—that legislation doesn't actually do that.
DB: Well, the idea that somehow we pass Dodd-Frank, that's the bill of course she's referring to, that that's going to prevent future bailouts—that really is just wishful thinking. If you just run through the scenario, and go let's imagine Dodd-Frank had been in place five years ago, what would have been different? There's no reason whatsoever to think the regulators would have done anything differently. I mean, we have systemic risk regulation. This is the thing I got the biggest kick out of of all because the idea was if somehow we just had someone who though they should look at the risk of banks then they wouldn't have gotten in this situation. We had plenty of people who had that job. They weren't doing the job; they all said everything was fine. So the idea that if we gave them hats that said systemic risk regulator they would have said oh wait a second, this is really risky, that's close to crazy. The basic point was the banks were making tons of money doing very risky activities. The regulators looked at it and said oh, that's okay, because they didn't want to cross Citigroup and Goldman and Morgan Stanley and the other big actors. None of them got fired for it. And you just go, you know as an economist, I just go, I think people respond to incentives. If you're a regulator, whether it's Chair of the Fed, FDIC, whatever position you hold, and on the one hand you go well I could get in a really big fight with Citigroup or Goldman or I could keep my mouth shut and no matter what happens I don't get in trouble, I'd assume most of them are going to keep their mouth shut and ignore whatever dangerous practices these banks are getting into. So, the notion that Dodd-Frank, the financial reform bill is going to prevent another bailout, that really, there's no basis for that.
CS: Well, Morgenson's piece ends with a source saying taxpayers will "revolt" if the losses from these bailouts keep getting passed on to them, but most coverage, including at the New York Times treats the public quite differently in this story. Another Times piece has a source say that though TARP was "probably the only effective method available to us… it really cuts against the grain for a public that is so angry at banks to think that something that so plainly helped the banks could also be good for the public." I get a real undercurrent of people in general are too emotional or too stupid, you know, to know to take their medicine in this coverage. I wonder, what would reporting that really had people's back and was from regular folks' perspective look like on this issue?
DB: Well, what were the alternatives? So they allowed Bernanke and the banks to paint this doomsday scenario that if they went under, the economy shut down. And there were even some formal modeling things: suppose the banks went under and the economy shut down, how bad would that be? The answer: really bad. But our alternatives were not just bailing out the banks or letting the economy shut down. We could of either a) bailed them out with very stringent conditions and people were saying oh we have no choice, we just have to give them the money. No, we could've—you know I make this joke that we could've told them to run around Wall Street naked with their underpants on their heads, they would've had to do it. They had no choice. They were going bankrupt. You're the CEO of Citigroup, go tell your shareholders that we made you run around with your underpants on your head, and you weren't going to do it, so they're out the money. You have do it. They had no choice. We held all the cards there. So a) we could've bailed them out, and just said no you're going to totally restructure—you know, you thought you were going to get 20 million this year, how does 200,000 sound? Take it or leave it. We could have laid down those conditions, you know, take it or leave it, and they all would've had to take it. Second thing is, okay, let's say they do go under, the supposition is we just sit here and we have 20 percent unemployment like totaly morons. No, we actually know how to counter that. We get the Fed out there and basically do what they ended up doing but they do it after the banks go under. They throw money out there so people have money to borrow and that boosts the economy. So they created this totally phony scenario where the only way we could bail things out was to give money to the banks, no questions asked, and if we didn't do that, somehow we were condemned to be stupid morons for the next decade. It's absurd.
CS: We've been speaking with Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Find their work, including Dean's recent piece, "The Cost of the TARP: One More Time," on the web at CEPR.net.
Thanks so much, Dean Baker, for joining us this week on CounterSpin.

Excellent tour. Our tour guide was Mohamed Atef Ahmed. He did an excellent job of taking time to explain each location, its history, and asked us what more we wanted to know about each location. He knew the best locations to take pictures and which vendors were good to shop at. When it came time to drop us off at the airport, he went in and found our gate and where we could something to eat. He then even walked us back up to the airport terminal, helping us with our bags. I would highly recommend Mohamed to anyone wanting to see Cairo.
