Watchdog: Tax law too complex for most, 6 billion hours a year spent complying
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The nation's tax law is so thick and complicated that businesses and individuals spend more than 6 billion hours a year complying with filing requirements. That's the equivalent of 3 million people working full-time, year-round.
As a result, about 90 percent of filers will either pay a tax preparer or use a computer software service to help with their federal tax returns this spring, according to a report Wednesday by an independent government watchdog.
"The existing tax code makes compliance difficult, requiring taxpayers to devote excessive time to preparing and filing their returns," says the report by Nina E. Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate. "It obscures comprehension, leaving many taxpayers unaware how their taxes are computed and what rate of tax they pay. It facilitates tax avoidance by enabling sophisticated taxpayers to reduce their tax liabilities and provides criminals with opportunities to commit tax fraud."
Olson said the tax code also "undermines trust in the system by creating an impression that many taxpayers are not compliant."
She ranks complexity as the most serious tax problem facing taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service in her annual report to Congress.
Momentum is building in Congress to overhaul the tax code for the first time since 1986. But Washington's divided government has yet to show it can successfully tackle such an issue.
President Barack Obama and Republican leaders in Congress say they are onboard, though they have rarely seen eye to eye on tax policy. They struggled mightily just to avoid the year-end fiscal cliff, passing a bill that makes relatively small changes to the nation's tax laws, compared to a major overhaul.
"Our broken tax code has become a nightmare of loopholes and special interest provisions that create added complexities and costs for hardworking taxpayers and small businesses," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the tax-writing House and Ways and Means Committee. "Comprehensive tax reform will make sure everyone is playing by the same rules, and help businesses create more jobs and invest in their workers."

He Who Dies With The Most Records, Still Dies
Strange as it may seem, less than 20 years ago a generation of ardent young men had to play music rather than merely spin vinyl in hopes of scoring with cool-scene chicks. DJ's then were seen less as hip cats toting slick record bags than as reclusive bedroom nerds with badly permed hair and an extensive record collection. Indeed, to describe oneself as a DJ was to court ridicule, a confession of endless Saturday nights spent in the company of the tearful and drunk, nights bearing witness to the full human comedy, gazing out at newlyweds shuffling across floors polished with cake and ale, the inevitable scratch and hiss of Gerry and the Pacemakers' "You'll Never Walk Alone".
DJ cachet has come a long way, baby.
Andy Smith
The Document II
US: 30 Sep 2003
UK: 15 Sep 2003
Back then, only the obsessive record collector with a haphazard penchant for gooning might draw within near distance of fame, parlaying his considered "talents" into a radio career. This was the breed Morrissey famously disparaged with "Panic" ('86). Ironically, that song being the first notable indication of Morrissey as an artist, and indie as a genre, was falling out of step. Within a couple of years the Smiths would be gone, and music culture would usher in a decade in which the DJ, contrary to being hanged, was honored as King.
But that's another story.
For those who haven't been paying attention, the cult of DJ peaked several years ago and its demise continues unabated. Over the past couple of years, not a single "Superstar DJ" has emerged within the dance music culture (nor, for that matter, outside of it), and the days when reverent club kids spoke of a skilled vinyl artist shaping and moving a room seem long ago.
The Document II, a new compilation from Andy Smith, epitomizes the no-mans land that the present day record-shuffler finds himself in. Smith originally garnered a reputation supplying samples and opening live sets for Portishead a decade ago, and previously released an album in 1998 titled, oddly enough, The Document. With its release, he emerged as one of the first DJs to champion eclecticism in his sets, moving away from formulaic selections tied stringently to genre. Instead, Smith pulled unexpected choices from his crate, mixing pop, soul and hip-hop, creating sets far removed from the prevalent monochromatic diets of house and trance.
The Document II continues in similar vein, but plays as mood-less mélange rather than inspired eclecticism. Twenty-four tracks are spaced over seventy-three minutes, but frankly, the tracks feel more like fifty in number. There are good selections, some more familiar than others, yet the overall is undermined by a lack of cohesive focus.
The opening track is Kate Bush's "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", selected both for its beauty and as an expository introduction: it doesn't belong here. To drop beats over such delicate beauty for even a moment is to destroy it. Later, with Serge Gainsbourgh's "Requiem Pour Un C" and Jack Jones's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", the choices are too cute and precious. While it may be true that no one else has considered pitting such unlikely tracks within minutes of a veritable hip-hop classic like Black Sheep's "The Choice Is Yours", one has to acknowledge that there may be an entirely logical reason for that.
For the greater part, the album attempts to blend a '60s soul sensibility with '90s hip-hop, an idea David Holmes pulled off with considerably greater élan last year on Come Get It, I Got It. Holmes mixed-in additional production work, but his album was also much tighter conceptually, and certainly it never had the feel, as this one sometimes does, of a CD sampler fallen from between the pages of a music magazine.
One may admire Smith's vast expanse of music reference points, and he mixes beats well, but the latter at least is a given; mixing is the most elemental of DJ skills, and there are thirteen year olds across the land quite adept at it by now too. As a simple party soundtrack this fails, it's attention span too flimsy.
Simply put, there's too much competition for our ears, so that a pleasant listening experience is not nearly enough anymore. "Pleasant" resides in different country from "compelling", and no matter how hard I try, I fail to imagine myself listening to this record three years from now. As an artistic statement, it tends to suggest that for DJs, the way ahead is far from clear. The choice of roads may appear endless, but legitimate options seem few.

It's a risk.
If it was someone with a long ebay history and absolutely perfect feedback COMMENTS, then I'd be ok.
For someone with only 9 feedback, I wouldn't. If he insists, get him to pay you via internet banking, and post via tracking and signature on delivery.post #11211 of 277063/19/14 at 6:22pm

Wrong. You are never in a bind if a buyer threatens you with negative feedback. That's the golden fucking ticket right there.post #11212 of 277063/19/14 at 6:29pm

Basically if a buyer is giving me trouble on a item I know it's 100% perfect, as described, and they won't give me any proof (via photos or such) and keeps talking about wanting a partial refund to "repair damages" or some shit I'll edge the conversation towards negative feedback leaving as much as possible. A couple times it's worked to where they threatened if I don't refund xx% right now they'll leave negative feedback immediately.
Hate doing that shit, but it's the only tool I have sometimes.post #11213 of 277063/19/14 at 8:27pm

PS to anyone who got a 1099-K from PayPal: it reflects your gross sales and does not include returns refunded...so, any refunds are also a deduction. Most folks probably knew that, but if this is your first time getting a 1099-K (me included) it may not be obvious and I had to do some digging to find that out.
One of the ebay reports which I print every year lists the total refunds, so you can use that number instead of trying to total up a long column of numbers.post #11215 of 277063/19/14 at 9:07pm

After a month (and an opened ebay case) jacket was returned to me, having made it all the way to france before getting a vague "address undeliverable" stamp.
I used ebay's label and provided address.
Buyer is understanding (I guess the French PO is, in his words, "lazy"), but I have no idea how to proceed.
The PO didn't cancel the slip-in cutsoms/postage slip, so I could re-send, but I don't want an ebay case to occur if it doesn't get delivered again.
If he gives me another address, how can I protect myself against an ebay case?post #11217 of 277063/19/14 at 11:41pm

The parties are directed to file supplemental briefs that address whether and how contraceptive coverage may be obtained by petitioners' employees through petitioners' insurance companies, but in a way that does not require any involvement of petitioners beyond their own decision to provide health insurance without contraceptive coverage to their employees. Petitioners with insured plans are currently required to submit a form either to their insurer or to the Federal Government (naming petitioners' insurance company), stating that petitioners object on religious grounds to providing contraceptive coverage. The parties are directed to address whether contraceptive coverage could be provided to petitioners' employees, through petitioners' insurance companies, without any such notice from petitioners. For example, the parties should consider a situation in which petitioners would contract to provide health insurance for their employees, and in the course of obtaining such insurance, inform their insurance company that they do not want their health plan to include contraceptive coverage of the type to which they object on religious grounds.It seems likely that some compromise will be worked out. And if so, it seems almost certain that whatever compromise will be allowed, it will enable religious employers to not provide for their employees contraceptive coverage. If they could find such a position by going to court, the government could have accepted such a position upon receiving so many vociferous objections before going to court. *I admit the slightly tendentious coloring to the title above. The Little Sisters are adult women. However, they are in absolute literalness poor: they take vows of poverty, and the truly live those vows. They don't have posh residences (like clerics sometimes do), their resources go into care for their flock – the indigent elderly. And they are literally little. The Little Sisters come to my church at least once a year to drum up support, and invariably (so far as I have seen) they are small. I don't know if they actually turn away postulants who are over a certain height (seems unlikely), but I have never seen a tall one. Some of them areremarkably short – such as the Guatemalan ones who don't manage to reach 5 ft. And of course they are all females. So, yes, the coloring to the title is slightly misleading. Live with it. ** There are 3 fonts of morality in the human moral act: the object, the intention, and the circumstances. All three must be in order to have a morally good act. The object must, of its own character, (and apart from the intention of the act) be either good or neutral. The object is the form of the act, that which states its species, that which is the nature of the act he chooses. A knowingly contracepted sexual act has an inherently bad object, and therefore the act is intrinsically evil (i.e. not evil merely from disordered intention). This post is not, as such, about the wrongness of contracepted sex. ]]>
(2) No person is a party to culpable homicide if they do anything for the purpose of aiding a medical practitioner or nurse practitioner to provide a person with medical assistance in dying in accordance with section 241.2. (3) For greater certainty, the exemption set out in subsection (1) or (2) applies even if the person invoking it has a reasonable but mistaken belief about any fact that is an element of the exemption.How in the world it is decided that the "assistant" had a "reasonable" belief that the victim wanted to die at that particular moment is left unspecified, but my guess is that the original paperwork with the medical people that showed the person allegedly voluntarily requesting the drugs will be considered sufficient. What happened after that would be nobody's business to inquire. To be clear: It's wrong to "help" people kill themselves even if they really want to kill themselves. But the murder of people who definitely don't want to kill themselves is wrong in a way that even the pro-death left usually recognizes, which is why they are always going on and on about "choice." This law is an outright invitation to outright murder of your inconvenient, disabled relatives and friends, as should be evident to anyone with a few legal brain cells. Wesley J. Smith talks about the DeLury case and how it would have been a perfect situation for the application of this law. Choice devours itself. Every time. Make death your god, and death will make sure that a little thing like "choice" doesn't get in the way. I predict there will be plenty of outright murders under this new law in Canada.]]>
This mistaken preference for the modern books and this shyness of the old ones is nowhere more rampant than in theology. Wherever you find a little study circle of Christian laity you can be almost certain that they are studying not St. Luke or St. Paul or St. Augustine or Thomas Aquinas or Hooker or Butler, but M. Berdyaev or M. Maritain or M. Niebuhr or Miss Sayers or even myself. [snip] Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books. All contemporary writers share to some extent the contemporary outlook – even those, like myself, who seem most opposed to it. Nothing strikes me more when I read the controversies of past ages than the fact that both sides were usually assuming without question a good deal which we should now absolutely deny. They thought that they were as completely opposed as two sides could be, but in fact they were all the time secretly united – united with each other and against earlier and later ages – by a great mass of common assumptions. We may be sure that the characteristic blindness of the twentieth century – the blindness about which posterity will ask, "But how could they have thought that?" – lies where we have never suspected it, and concerns something about which there is untroubled agreement between Hitler and President Roosevelt or between Mr. H. G. Wells and Karl Barth. None of us can fully escape this blindness, but we shall certainly increase it, and weaken our guard against it, if we read only modern books. Where they are true they will give us truths which we half knew already. Where they are false they will aggravate the error with which we are already dangerously ill. The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books. Not, of course, that there is any magic about the past. People were no cleverer then than they are now; they made as many mistakes as we. But not the same mistakes. They will not flatter us in the errors we are already committing; and their own errors, being now open and palpable, will not endanger us. Two heads are better than one, not because either is infallible, but because they are unlikely to go wrong in the same direction.The gentlemen at Eerdmans seem to believe exactly the opposite--that we should turn old books into not-old books. We should "correct" the old books by completely rewriting them so that readers shall not, God forbid, be met with the ways of thinking and speaking of any age other than their own, which might be too much for their delicate sensibilities, but shall be able to sit comfortably listening to the chatty cadences and theology of their contemporaries even when reading what purports to be the fiftieth anniversary edition of a classic work of the Christian faith. This brings me back to the point about the pronouns and the word "man" which Mr. Swaim was (though reluctantly) prepared to admit the "need" to change in Stott to avoid causing offense. No. Again, it is part of what a book is that it is written in a particular language. The fact that Stott used the normal English with the generic "he" and "man" is woven into his writing. It is not the prerogative of later editors to "detoxify" his writing by making it fit for delicate modern ears, trained by feminism to take offense at such usage. Rather, let modern ears learn something by encountering someone who was able to write better than modern men are able to write precisely because he could avail himself of the generic "he" and "man." (Swaim states openly that the quality of the writing suffers when these are eliminated and that this is why he himself prefers them.) How could it possibly be allowable in later editors to make Stott's writing worse while still presenting it as Stott's writing, just because the special snowflake readers might be offended by better writing? The generic "he" and "man" in Stott's writing and the possible "offense" they might cause are part and parcel of the interaction between author and reader across the ages. Let that interaction happen, or do not pretend to be issuing an edition of a book as opposed to vandalizing a book. Three things are shocking about this story, even to me, cynic that I am: First, that Eerdmans had the legal right to mangle the book this thoroughly. Not even "just" changing the pronouns or "offensive" language but literally rewriting the whole book with the apparent intention of making it sound like it was written in a radically different time period. Of course, I don't know what the legal arrangements were. Did they have to get special permission from Stott, or was the ability to do this implicit in a contract? (Clarification: The edition was published in 2008, and Stott died in 2011. So this may have been done with his permission. Evidently Swaim does not know, though Stott did write a new preface some time before his death. I find it difficult to believe that Stott would have given his permission for something this radical had he known it would be this radical.) This should make every author tremble in his boots when he considers signing away his publication rights to a press. (I am very happy to say that I am absolutely confident that the gentlemen at DeWard Publishing, the press with which I am about to sign a contract for my undesigned coincidences book, would rather be cut into a million pieces than do such a thing.) Second, that a publisher should be this wrong about what a book is. Publishing books is what publishers do, but Eerdmans evidently doesn't even know what books are. Indeed, they seem to think that the more useful and famous a book is, the more right they have to make it into something different from what it was to begin with. The idea seems to be that a real Christian classic mysteriously turns into a jointly-written project between the original author and whoever happens to acquire the legal ability to tamper with his text and reprint it. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. The more valuable a book was originally, the more people it has touched and helped, the more important it is to continue to make it available as its author wrote it. Third, that a publisher would want to rewrite a book this radically. Why? Why, why, why? What in the world could motivate a publisher to ask someone to undertake a revision that would include such petty vandalism as turning a sentence about young people from, "They are opposed to anything which savours of institutionalism" into "They are opposed to anything that looks like an institution"? And to perpetrate similar vandalism upon, by Swaim's estimate, two thirds of the sentences in the entire book? Is it money? Do they genuinely believe that a book largely written in actuality by the chirpy Dr. David Stone, whoever he may be, but with the name of John R. W. Stott on the cover will sell significantly more copies than the book actually written by Stott? This seems to me unlikely, I must say--again, cynic though I am. Hang onto your used copies of Stott's real work. This First Things article should boost their market value considerably. Amazon boasts 86 used copies of the 1971 edition (which Swaim used for his comparison), starting at 1 cent plus shipping and handling. Get 'em before the price goes up. And if you're an author, consider self-publishing or else putting in your contract a clause that stipulates that your ghost shall have the legal right to haunt into the grave any publisher that bowdlerizes your work after your death. These days, you can't be too careful.]]>
He is especially upset about the cost of all that is happening. He says, "You've never given me even a goat for a party, how dare you give him the calf?" The fattened calf is only a symbol, however, because what the father has done costs far more than the calf. By bringing the younger brother back into the family he has made him an heir again, with a claim to one-third of their (now very diminished) family wealth. This is unconscionable to the elder brother. He's adding things up. "I've worked myself to death and earned what I've got, but my brother has done nothing to earn anything, indeed he's merited only expulsion, and yet you lavish him with wealth! Where's the justice in that?"This idea is the key to Keller's book – he wants us to focus in on the elder brother and have us realize that just like the Prodigal Son, he too must let go of his pride and give up control to his father (i.e. God.) He cannot simply live a life according to the rules only so that he can use those rules to manipulate those around him (especially his father) to get what he wants. He too must learn that he is not in control and accept his father's offer to join the feast (i.e. the moral law can't save even the best of us – we all need Christ's sacrifice.)
The bad son enters the father's feast but the good son will not. The lover of prostitutes is saved, but the man of moral rectitude is still lost. We can almost hear the Pharisees gasp as the story ends. It was the complete reversal of everything they had ever been taught. Jesus does not simply leave it at that. It gets even more shocking. Why doesn't the elder brother go in? He himself gives the reason: "Because I've never disobeyed you." The elder brother is not losing the father's love in spite of his goodness, but because of it. It is not his sins that create the barrier between him and his father, it's the pride he has in his moral record; it's not his wrongdoing but his righteousness that is keeping him from sharing in the feast of the father. […] The hearts of the two brothers were the same. Both sons resented their father's authority and sought ways of getting out from under it. They each wanted to get into a position in which they could tell the father what to do. Each one, in other words, rebelled – but one did so by being very bad and the by being extremely good. Both were alienated from the father's heart; both were lost sons. Do you realize, then, what Jesus is teaching? Neither son loved the father for himself. They both were using the father for their own self-centered ends rather than loving, enjoying, and serving him for his own sake. This means that you can rebel against God and be alienated from him either by breaking his rules or by keeping all of them diligently. It's a shocking message: Careful obedience to God's law may serve as a strategy for rebelling against God.Keller explores this theme for the rest of the book – one of his strengths is his use of literary references throughout to get his point across:
In her novel Wise Blood, Flannery O'Connor says of her character Hazel Motes that "there was a deep, black wordless conviction in him that the way to avoid Jesus was to avoid sin." This is a profound insight. You can avoid Jesus as Savior by keeping all the moral laws. If you do that, then you have "rights." God owes you answered prayers, and a good life, and a ticket to heaven when you die. You don't need a Savior who pardons you by free grace, for you are your own Savior.So what do I think of Keller's book and his interpretation of this story in the Bible? I think he's definitely on to something and is right in his interpretation of the story -- both the younger brother and the elder brother are in need of God's grace. I hope I've given you enough of his writing to suggest that he is a clear and forceful writer who is very persuasive. And yet, I find myself wondering just how much of a problem is the 'elder brother syndrome' in today's society? Yes, there are moral scolds and modern-day Pharisees – but isn't the bigger problem (at least in the West) that there are plenty of secular folks who simply need to learn right from wrong first and foremost and start following God's law in the first place? Is it such a bad thing if we have preachers preaching about sin and repentance these days when there is plenty of sin going around and plenty of lost, younger sons who need to wake up from their time in the filth of the pig pen (like the original Prodigal Son) and return, chasten to their fathers (i.e. God?) In a way, I almost feel like this book was written for a different time – a more innocent and perhaps traditional America. An America that didn't have abortion on demand or that refused to recognize homosexual perversion as 'normal' (or something to be celebrated in simulacrums of wedding ceremonies.) An America where divorce was rare and most children were raised by their biological parents. In short, a place where there were a lot more Pharisees running around too proud of themselves and in need of Keller's message. These days, while I think everything Keller has to say is spot on, I just think his target audience is going to be small – or that there are more folks who need to understand the basics before they can graduate to this more subtle sermon. However, I do want to leave you with a few beautiful passages of his on what he has to say about both sons learning to turn to God for their salvation – that we all must learn an important lesson from the elder brother, and that the elder brother serves two different purposes in Jesus' story:
The younger brother's restoration was free to him, but it came at enormous cost to the elder brother. The father could not just forgive the younger son, somebody had to pay! The father could not reinstate him except at the expense of the elder brother. There was no other way. But Jesus does not put a true elder brother in the story, one who is willing to pay any cost to seek and save that which is lost. It is heartbreaking. The younger son gets a Pharisee for a brother instead. But we do not. By putting a flawed elder brother in the story, Jesus is inviting us to imagine and yearn for a true one. And we have him. Think of the kind of brother we need. We need one who does not just go to the next country to find us but who will come all the way from heaven to earth. We need one who is willing to pay not just a finite amount of money, but, at the infinite cost of his own life to bring us into God's family, for our debt is so much greater. Either as elder brothers or as younger brothers we have rebelled against the father. We deserve alienation, isolation, and rejection. The point of the parable is that forgiveness always involves a price—someone has to pay. There was no way for the younger brother to return to the family unless the older brother bore the cost himself. Our true elder brother paid our debt, on the cross, in our place. […] Jesus Christ, who had all the power in the world, saw us enslaved by the very things we thought would free us. So he emptied himself of his glory and became a servant (Philippians 2). He laid aside the infinities and immensities of his being and, at the cost of his life, paid the debt for our sins, purchasing us the only place our hearts can rest, in his Father's house. […] John Newton, the author of the hymn "Amazing Grace," wrote another hymn that puts this perfectly: Our pleasure and our duty, though opposite before, since we have seen his beauty are joined to part no more. In a few short words Newton outlines our dilemma. The choice before us seems to be to either turn from God and pursue the desires of our hearts, like the younger brother, or repress the desire and do our moral duty, like the older brother. But the sacrificial, costly love of Jesus on the cross changes that. When we see the beauty of what he has done for us, it attracts our hearts to him. We realize that the love, the greatness, the consolation, and the honor we have been seeking in other things is here. The beauty also eliminates our fear. If the Lord of the Universe loves us enough to experience this for us, what are we afraid of? To the degree we "see his beauty" we will be free from the fear and neediness that creates either younger brothers or elder brothers.]]>
Churchill had great luck in the Boer War. He was captured by the enemy but was treated well by them and somehow managed to escape. The British public loved derring-do, particularly when performed by aristocratic daredevils in the cause of imperial expansion. Churchill's journalism became even more valuable. He was soon in possession of a clear £10,000, which his American counterparts would look at in the same way that their successors today look at over $10 million.Adventures indeed. Winston Churchill was to war correspondents of his day what Von Miller is to outside linebackers or Steph Curry to shooting guards. It would a colossal exaggeration, of course, to suppose that Churchill's remuneration in this profession was entirely the consequence his good fortune. Its foundation lies firmly in his own native excellence. Mr. Lough's fascinating book, by all accounts, also makes clear that this excellence, along with his many others, sustained Churchill in what was a staggering prodigality. He consumed the income he earned at a rate comparable to a modern star athlete. Now human excellence resists precise categorization; while it can never be separated from circumstances, it retains an indelible measure of mystery even when history supplies us with abundant resources for study and comparison. In a word, there is, truly, an ineffable human magic in Churchill's prose which, by a somewhat strained analogy, is also observable in Curry's jump shot. The financial reward confirms the phenomenal excellence. Many were the men who, around the turn of the 20th century, could compose clear English competently: None could pour it on like Churchill. Many are the men today who can dribble and shoot a basketball serviceably: None can pour it in like Curry. A sample. From the Preface to Churchill's Marlborough: His Life and Times:
"There are few successful commanders," says Creasy, "on whom Fame has shone so unwillingly as upon John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough." I believe this is true; and it is an interesting historical study to examine the causes which have made so great a contrast between the glory and importance of his deeds and the small regard of his countrymen for his memory. He commanded the armies of Europe against France for ten campaigns. He fought four great battles and many important actions. It is the common boast of his champions that he never fought a battle that he did not win, nor besieged a fortress he did not take. Amid all the chances and baffling accidents of war he produced victory with almost mechanical certainty. Even when fighting in fetters and hobbles, swayed and oppressed by influences which were wholly outside the military situation, he was able to produce the same result, varying only in degree. Nothing like this can be seen in military annals. His smaller campaigns were equally crowned by fortune. He never rode off any field except as a victor. He quitted war invincible: and no sooner was his guiding hand withdrawn than disaster overtook the armies he had led. Successive generations have not ceased to name him with Hannibal and Caesar.]]>
Some may argue that such a model could compromise doctors' care of critically ill patients....In practice, though, a donor's doctors have little connection to those involved with organ recovery, precisely so as to avoid any conflict of interest. We can't imagine a scenario in which doctors would give a patient inferior care so that her [sic] organs could be procured. (emphasis added)They can't imagine! So let's look at their proposals.]]> somewhat of a lie. The authors, transplant physicians Joshua Mezrich and Joseph Scalea, are much concerned with a patient they name W.B. who has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). W.B. very much wants to be a live donor of one of his kidneys, but he doesn't qualify as a donor. The article is explicit about why.
In his weakened state, will he tolerate the anesthesia and surgery? Or will they hasten his death? If he survives the surgery, will he ever leave the hospital?Now, at a minimum, the authors definitely want W.B. to be able to donate one of his kidneys as a live donor.
[W]e are not as courageous as he is. Maybe we will yet find a way to honor his dying wish--or if not his entire wish, then part of it. If we were to help W.B. donate a single kidney, and he survived, the experience might add some real value to his remaining days.So what the authors are saying (this is just one part of what they are saying) is that W.B. should be a live kidney donor of one kidney even though the surgery might kill him and even though, in his weakened state, he is not normally considered a candidate to be a donor. But they say that they can't imagine any scenario in which a patient would get "inferior care" so that his organs could be procured! And they insist that there is complete independence between the patient's doctors and organ procurement doctors. Yet this is all manifestly untrue in their proposal concerning W.B.! They are positively recommending that W.B. be subject to a severe risk that might kill him, so that he can be an organ donor. This would presumably require the cooperation of his own doctors. You know, his actual doctors. The ones who treat and care for him as an ALS patient and would have to deal with him after the attempt to donate a kidney. And it would mean necessarily that W.B. would be receiving inferior care as a vulnerable ALS patient, because he would be subjected to the rigors of kidney donation surgery which (they fully admit) his body is ill-equipped to tolerate. So the statement that they "can't imagine a scenario" in which the patient would be treated in an inferior fashion so as to be a donor is a lie, even when we just consider the proposal that W.B. should be a live donor of a single kidney. But it gets much, much, much worse. The bulk of the article considers a much more radical proposal. Here it is, in their own words:
A more useful ethical standard [than whole-brain death] could involve the idea of "imminent death." Once a person with a terminal disease reaches a point when only extraordinary measures will delay death; when use (or continued use) of these measures is incompatible with what he considers a reasonable quality of life; and when he therefore decides to stop aggressive care, knowing that this will, in relatively short order, mean the end of his life, we might say that death is "imminent." If medical guidelines could be revised to let people facing imminent death donate vital organs under general anesthesia, we could provide patients and families a middle ground--a way of avoiding futile medical care, while also honoring life by preventing the deaths of other critically ill people. (emphasis added)So the end-game here is to throw out the dead donor rule altogether and to take vital organs--presumably, as many as you can get--under general anesthesia from unambiguously alive people. At the end of such a "surgery" (surgical murder), the patient would have been turned into a heartless, kidney-less, lungless, etc., corpse instead of a patient. That's the plan. That's the proposal. But Mezrich and Scalea can't imagine a scenario in which a patient would receive "inferior care so that [his] organs could be procured." This is bald-faced. The authors are openly proposing that unambiguously living patients be directly killed by organ procurement under anesthesia, yet they "can't imagine a scenario" in which prospective donors would be given "inferior care"!! I guess this means that they'd receive the best care available, until, you know, they are taken into the operating room to be killed by having their vital organs taken out! I think that counts as "inferior care," don't you? The article contains some useful information, and I suggest that anyone interested in the subject read it. The authors confirm what I have said before about the near impossibility of doing a "slow glide" into death in a natural fashion and still donating organs. They talk about "donation after circulatory death," also known as the Pittsburgh Protocol, in which patients are taken off a ventilator, their hearts stop naturally, and then they are rushed off to have their organs taken within just a couple of minutes. (The authors don't mention the particularly gruesome aspect of the DCD protocol, which is that oxygenation has to be started back up again for the sake of the organs, which, because of the speed with which the patient was whisked away after his heart stopped, might revive him. This possibility is prevented both by chemical and physical means.) In any event, the problem with the DCD protocol is that, the authors say again and again, the patient sometimes doesn't die fast enough. Then, because of the slow glide, the organs often have been compromised. "The donor typically needs to die within an hour or two of being taken off life support..." "Even when DCD organ donors do die in the allotted time, we tend to recover fewer organs from them..." "...to everyone's distress, he didn't die quickly enough to allow for the transplantation of his organs. This came as a particularly terrible blow to his parents,..." The authors pass over the whole-brain-death criterion rather quickly, not stating why it doesn't help them to get as many organs as they want. The explanation is this: The whole-brain death criterion, if applied rigorously, requires evidence that the brain stem has ceased to function. Often patients on a ventilator simply do not come to meet this criterion until after their heartbeat has slowed or become irregular (or stopped), which in turn renders their organs unusable for transplant through insufficient oxygenation. The Goldilocks zone for transplant is the patient who tests positive for whole-brain death, including brain stem cessation of function, lack of blood flow to the brain, and so forth, but whose heart continues to beat strongly while ventilator support continues. This, of course, raises all kinds of questions of its own about how good such tests really are, but even aside from that, the authors make it clear that not "enough" patients are falling into that zone or even being said to fall within it. (Despite the fudging and failure of truly rigorous testing that takes place in many hospitals). Hence their desire to abandon the dead-donor rule altogether. Such baldly heartless (pun intended) articles are useful, for they tell us where the priorities of the organ procurers really lie--getting more organs, if not quite at any cost, at an ethical cost that is unacceptable. Such articles are also useful because they call into question the positive view of organ donation as having no downside, as being an unambiguous win-win (since after all, if you're dead, you don't "need" your organs anymore, right?). My own prediction is that the U.S. will not soon abandon the dead-donor rule, at least on paper. However, I expect the fudging of death criteria to become so rampant and so blatant as to amount to almost the same thing. We already have evidence of situations in which donors who failed to meet any death criteria, who were even breathing on their own, were treated as potential donors prior to death. And as I reported, the new UK plan to take organs from anencephalic infants after birth seems to imply some approach that will make organ procurement relatively reliable. I hate to say it, but the only approach that will do that reliably would be putting the babies on a ventilator and then fudging on the brain-stem-cessation criterion. Otherwise you're just in the same position with these babies that you would be in with any other patient. That darned dead-donor rule keeps getting in the way of reliable transplant. My prediction is that once this fudging is sufficiently widespread either in the U.S. or in the UK, this will be revealed and we will be told that, since this is what goes on all the time anyway, it should be legally formalized by the official abandonment of the dead donor rule. Grieving families will usually cooperate because of the sociological dynamics the authors describe in the article I am discussing here--namely, the extremely positive view of vital organ donation as an unequivocally good thing. I want to suggest that if all of this revolts you, you should probably revise that positive view and be prepared to be a maverick, both for yourself and as an advocate for any family members who are injured and for whose best interests you speak. Educate yourself so that you can speak with confidence, and then just tell the procurers unambiguously that you are uninterested in being a donor and that your relative cannot be a donor. If you have durable power of attorney for healthcare for your relative, that should give you the authority to refuse, especially if your relative was not already on the donor registry. You don't have to argue with them. Just say no and keep on saying no. That, at any rate, is what I intend to do. For now, they have to listen.]]>
The other day a friend asked me why I was posting negative stuff on Trump. I told him, basically, that everyone has their threshold of embarrassment. I can mock the Upper Middle Class Respectable set for having what I think is a way-too-high sensitivity to embarrassment -- usually one strongly shaped by leftwing PC codes -- but everyone has their own level. It's embarrassing, to me, that at this late date Trump can only sputter about "getting rid of the lines" at a debate when asked about his health care plan. It's embarrassing, to me personally, when I'm repeatedly confronted with the fact that Trump still seems to not know the contents of the Sessions Immigration Plan on his own website -- the whole reason I even began to be "Trump Curious," as I term it. If a plan could be nominated for president, I'd vote for the Sessions Immigration Plan. It's personally embarrassing to discover that Trump is nearly entirely unaware of the only reason I entertained supporting him.]]> A few weeks ago I started making the case that Trumpism corrupts and this is pretty much what I was talking about. You think you're signing up for The Wall, but it turns out that you can't stay onboard the Trump train unless you agree to put up with a whole lot else. And to cling to The Wall you wind up having to make compromises left, right, and center. You end up like Sarah Palin and Scott Brown, tacitly agreeing that George W. Bush knowingly lied about WMDs in Iraq. You end up like Chris Christie, not even pretending that there's any way for Trump to enact his agenda. You wind up like Newt Gingrich, mangling history to suggest that it was Republican elites who cost Goldwater the '64 election. Or worse, suggesting that Trump is just like Reagan in that he didn't know much, either, and that the elites were against him, too. This last bit (and Gingrich isn't the only one to make the argument, see Jonah Goldberg's column on Bill Bennett) is particularly awful because conservative intellectuals, including Gingrich and Bennett -- have spent the best part of three decades pushing back against the common misconception that Reagan was an amiable dunce. The view of Reagan as a dim-bulb is entirely the creation of a hostile mainstream media. The truth is that Reagan was an intensely intellectual -- not just intelligent, but intellectual -- man who was broadly-read and had spent a lifetime wrestling with philosophy, both political and moral. Read his letters. Read his diaries. And now, some conservatives are willing to dynamite 30 years' worth of work spent trying to help America understand the real Reagan in an ad hoc attempt to legitimize this guy? Really? Really? This corruption of Republican conservatism -- what there is of it -- is the part that really spoke to me. It dovetails with a spot-on analysis from Mediaite called How and Why the Conservative Media Sold Its Soul To Facilitate Trump's Nomination. It discusses, among other things, Matt Drudge's influence on the "conservative" media and that media's need to drive eyeballs rather than focus on any sort of conservative principles. Drudge and others are a great example of what I've been talking about: The election of Trump would cause the "right-wing" media and pundits to spend their time justifying him and defending him, even when he wasn't being conservative, thereby destroying conservatism in America. In this way, the election of Trump would be worse than the election of Hillary or Bernie: While the latter would cause damage to America's laws and institutions, it would at least have principled opposition; the former would cause damage to the minds on which America's laws and institutions are based, which would make it harder for America to recover when its laws and institutions are damaged. Yes, I know Hillary and Bernie would be terrible for America. But they are only a virulent and potentially fatal form of the flu. Trump is AIDS: He would help destroy our very methods of fighting back against diseases such as Hillary and Bernie.]]>
[O]nce doctors had certified the infant dead, its vital organs would be removed.Um, wait, we skipped the part where the baby actually, y'know, dies. Are they just going to declare them dead because because?
In some cases, where donation has been agreed, babies could be certified brain dead but their bodies kept alive by artificial ventilation. Surgeons could then remove organs from these so-called 'heartbeat babies' when they are fresh, maximising what can be used and the chance of successful transplant.Wait, wait, perhaps you didn't know, Mr. Reporter, but a child with anencephaly is not ipso facto brain dead in the medico-legal sense. He has a working brain stem until he actually, y'know, dies. Naturally. What you wrote could be read as saying that these would just be declared to have suffered whole-brain death even if, er, they hadn't.]]> not to have an abortion until after she has definitely decided to have an abortion.
Notably, the option of donation would not be raised until the mother had definitively decided to have an abortion.Are you confused yet? Let me explain: A woman's baby is diagnosed with what doctors like to call a "condition incompatible with life." That would be something like anencephaly or perhaps a diaphragmatic hernia that has allowed the intestines to come up into the lung cavity and has prevented the lungs from developing, or maybe Trisomy 18. The medical workers, being oh-so-professional, don't want to influence the woman yet one way or another about whether or not to carry the baby to term. Once she decides to kill her baby, then they raise the following option: Don't kill your baby right now. Just put up with it for a while longer, gestate the baby to term, for the sake of its usable organs. For the greater good. Mind you, that's considered okay. Trying to argue a woman out of an abortion decision is apparently hunky dory so long as it isn't being done for a pro-life reason. So long as we aren't suggesting to her that she, perhaps, make use of neonatal hospice, or give birth in order to have the opportunity to hold her baby after it is born, or to be humane. All of that would apparently be terribly unprofessional. But trying to talk her out of aborting her baby right now so that he can be treated as a commodity, as a source of organs, so that the birth can be maximally medicalized to make sure that the baby's organs are fresh when they are harvested, that's perfectly okay. This is horrifyingly illogical on so many levels. Let's just count a few of them. 1) If nothing inappropriate is going to be done to the baby after he is born (hint: like killing him for his organs), then why is the idea of donating the baby's organs going to be raised only with women who have decided to abort rather than with women who have decided to carry to term? If the story in The Express is accurate, women who initially have no intention of aborting and who never say that they want an abortion will not be "supported" in order to donate the child's organs. Is this a kind of admission that babies whose organs are to be donated are marked for death in a way that babies who are not going to be donors are not? I can think of one possible reason, and this needs to be known: Death in connection with organ donation is always highly medicalized. The slow, natural "glide" into death is bad for usable organs. This is true for older people as well and has been brought up as an argument against the aggressive push for families to agree to donation. If the body slowly and naturally shuts down, various organs may suffer ischemia. What the organ collectors want is a body that is operating as fully as possible right up until collection. Hence, the shortage of organs is due in part to increased head protection and safety gadgets preventing catastrophic head injuries in an accident. This is because catastrophic head injuries can present precisely the cases where the patient isn't dying slowly and naturally but rather is put on a ventilator and maybe his brain functions cease sufficiently that he passes (fails?) the tests for "whole-brain death," but meanwhile everything is getting oxygenated. A baby who is just slowly breathing more and more shallowly while his mother holds him and eventually, quietly, breathes his last, is generally not a good candidate for organ donation. He's treated as a patient. A human being, A dying human being, but human nonetheless. Not a source. 2) Why is it okay to try to talk a woman out of an abortion for pro-harvesting reasons but not for pro-life reasons? 3) Why are the "abortion choice" fanatics not worried that this will put undue pressure on the woman not to abort? Isn't that the sort of thing they are supposed to be all concerned about? 4) What does "supported" mean? Does it maybe include $$? Are women going to be paid to gestate babies for organs? But beyond all that, let's cut to the chase: This makes the cannibalistic nature of vital organ harvesting almost unavoidably clear. These children are to be commodified after being deemed unfit for human life and for treatment as human beings. They are going to be treated as organ factories, nothing more, pure and simple. Finally, note to semi-pro-lifers: If you didn't know what you thought about babies missing their upper cerebral cortex and whether they have a right to life or not, it's time to improve your game and get ready to defend their humanity. Because the other guys are getting ready to keep them alive for a while and then cut them up for distribution. Related: Read the hate speech--I do not hesitate to call it that--in this 1992 article concerning "Baby Teresa." Her parents tried to have whole-brain death requirements changed so that she could be declared dead after being born anencephalic, so that her organs could be donated. Instead, the courts held firm (for once), and she lived nine days and was held and cared for and died naturally. But her organs (aw, shucks) were unusable because she had been allowed to live and die naturally. One particularly charming organ procurement specialist quoted in the story says, "She better fit the category of benign tumor, rather than human being. She was a ball of tissue. The question is whether she existed at all."]]>

Transhield, Inc., a manufacturer of high-tech protective covers for commercial and industrial markets, announce that their patented Armordillo protective covers have successfully completed evaluation with the U.S. Navy.
The evaluation of Transhield Armordillo advanced protective cover technology occurred over a nine-month period onboard several surface combatants and at the Naval Research Lab. As a result of the evaluation, Naval Sea Systems Command released a message to all Naval Commands stating it has approved Armordillo protective covers for use by the surface ship fleet to help reduce corrosion of weapons systems and other topside equipment.
"Based on our own extensive testing we have always been confident in the ability of our high-tech protective covers to provide superior corrosion protection in extreme environments. To have that confirmed through this U.S. Navy evaluation is deeply gratifying. We are very excited that Transhield can deliver to the U.S. Navy a next generation cover technology that is much lighter, easier to install and significantly less expensive than current covers," said James Glick, Transhield's president.
Continued Glick, "The saltwater environment is among the harshest and provides a significant challenge for maintaining equipment. We developed our Armordillo technology in response to the U.S. Navy's need to effectively protect equipment in these types of onboard conditions. Our employees take a great deal of pride in the fact that we are supporting the warfighter at sea with a product that helps ensure mission readiness."
Transhield's patented technology is integrated throughout its protective covers. It reduces corrosion by 85 to 95 percent by wicking away moisture from metal while simultaneously disrupting the electrochemical reaction that causes corrosion.
Transhield say that their protective covers are tested using ASTM standards for breathability, ultraviolet blockage, tensile strength, and yield strength. They are lightweight, 100-percent waterproof and provide years of use.
Transhield has supplied more than 20,000 vehicle and equipment covers to the U.S. Military since 2008. Transhield protective covers are available on the GSA Federal Supply Schedule under contact number GS-02F-0103R.

Goehring said the 36-page booklet is a valuable reference both for experienced direct marketers as well as for producers considering direct marketing.
"The information in this handbook ranges from sales tax permits and other tax issues to food safety regulations," he said. "Each section also includes contact information for appropriate state and local agencies."

You're comparing those fighters to Haye? They are nothing a like aside of the color of their skin.
None of those guys talked trash about the two most beloved fighters in Ukraine like Haye did, Haye has been talking trash, calling them out, even had t shirts made of the brothers for years. The Klitschko bros have millions and millions of fans, all of them see Hayes trash talk, and their small minds can't Handle it so of course they'll act out.
Everybody knows how racist people in Ukraine are, it's undeniable.
If Haye KOs or beats Vitali the chances of him being attacked by a mob is very high, even if he's just on the street or in his hotel he will have to worry about getting kidnapped or killed.

lol.. fcking nsb..
ill admitt haye says alot of dumb ****. but i dont see anyhting wrong with this statement. what does vitali or any of his fans have to complain about? germany is still his backyard so even if worrying about racism is a poor excuse haye didnt need an excuse to begin with anyways. vitali should be happy to fight him in germany.
but ofcourse since we are dealing with haye here ppl are against him for the sake of it. plenty of racism too on top of it, wouldnt expect anything less.

**** it.......its like arguing with children...
Keep watching Panorama and your conspiracy theory shows...
The bottom line is that Ukraine has the same racial issues as do countries like Canada and the UK.
There are black players on virtually every team in the Ukrainian Premier League and Ukraine is home to thousands of African students whom all came out and spoke against that ****e on panorama...
Anyway I couldn't give a **** what some Haye fanboys think of Ukraine...

Also i remember when Haye fought Wlad, during his entrance he was pushed around by mobs of people and that was in Germany..i'd hate to imagine what it would be like in Ukraine...
Haye will need an army to protect him

Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial."I decided that I was going to go, and I wasn't going to tell my parents," Carson said. "They found out later."Two decades later, Carson would receive an unexpected phone call from Coretta Scott King asking him to serve as the editor of the King's Papers project....

Utah bank confirms that Ghanaian mining company used mystery plane seen in Iran
Ebrahim Noroozi, Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah bank confirmed Tuesday that an airplane registered to the bank was used by a Ghana mining company to take Ghanaian businessmen to Iran last week.
The New York Times published a story last week revealing the presence of the plane, which had a small American flag on the tail, in Iran.
Aviation records show the plane is registered to the Bank of Utah through an arrangement in which the bank serves as a trustee for aircraft owners.
Except for some approved activities by the U.S. Department of Treasury, federal regulations prohibit most economic activity between the U.S. and Iran. The Treasury Department said in a statement Tuesday that sanctions on Iran generally prevent U.S.-registered aircraft from flying to that country. Determining if a violation "has occurred is fact specific, and Treasury is unable to comment on this situation," the statement said.
Scott Parkinson, senior vice president for marketing and communication with the Ogden-based bank, confirmed Tuesday morning that the Ghana company Engineers & Planners had been using the Bombardier CL-600.
Parkinson said the Bank of Utah has been cooperating with the State Department and other federal agencies since the plane was spotted in Iran but wouldn't comment further about what those agencies are looking at or to what degree they are investigating.
Engineers & Planners said in a statement Saturday that the plane's trip did not violate any international aviation laws.
The company's chief executive is Ibrahim Mahama, the younger brother of Ghanaian President John Mahama.
While the company has said the passengers on the flight were businessmen, initial reports were that it was carrying a governmental delegation, and an anti-corruption group, Ghana Integrity Initiative, has asked the government to explain.
Felix Ofosu-Kwakye, the deputy minister of information, denied on Ghanaian radio Tuesday that the government had sent a delegation to Iran and added that it had not leased any plane from the company.
Parkinson said his bank, which offers aviation ownership trusts as one part of its business, has no reason to believe there's a problem with their trust agreement for this specific aircraft.
"Of course we're looking at all of our policies regarding this, but we're pretty confident that what we've done is appropriate," he said.
The aviation trust arrangements have prompted two warnings from a government watchdog in the past year.
A government watchdog warned last June and again in January that non-U.S. citizens have registered 5,600 planes with the Federal Aviation Administration through trustees, concealing the owners' identities.
Under FAA regulations, this can be done by the owner creating an agreement to transfer the plane's title to a trustee that is a U.S. citizen. The trustee then registers the plane. The agreements provide little information on the identity of the owner or who uses the plane, according to a memorandum by the Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General.
On Friday, Parkinson said his bank performs due diligence required by regulators in terms of aircraft ownership and its trust agreements make it clear that the bank does not permit any illegal activity.
FAA regulations don't require trustees to identify aircraft owners or operators as a condition of registration. The FAA recently updated its policies to require trustees to produce this information, but only within 48 hours of an FAA request, the memorandum said.
The FAA has at times experienced problems identifying owners and operators of U.S. registered planes involved in accidents or incidents, the memo said.
