How's Life?
Hungary performs well in only a few measures of well-being relative to most other countries in the Better Life Index. Hungary ranks above the average in work-life balance, and personal security. It ranks below average in social connections, income and wealth, housing, jobs and earnings, subjective well-being, and health status.
Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In Hungary, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 15 442 a year, less than the OECD average of USD 25 908 a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population close to five times as much as the bottom 20%.
In terms of employment, around 58% of people aged 15 to 64 in Hungary have a paid job, below the OECD employment average of 65%. Some 64% of men are in paid work, compared with 53% of women. Around 3% of employees work very long hours, much lower than the OECD average of 13%, with 5% of men working very long hours compared with just 2% for women.
Good education and skills are important requisites for finding a job. In Hungary, 82% of adults aged 25-64 have completed upper secondary education, higher than the OECD average of 75%. Around 85% of men have successfully completed high-school compared with 80% of women. In terms of the quality of the education system the average student scored 487 in reading literacy, maths and science in the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), lower than the OECD average of 497. On average in Hungary, girls outperformed boys by 9 points, slightly more than the average OECD gap of 8 points.
In terms of health, life expectancy at birth in Hungary is 75 years, five years lower than the OECD average of 80 years, and one of the lowest in the OECD. Life expectancy for women is 79 years, compared with 72 for men. The level of atmospheric PM10 – tiny air pollutant particles small enough to enter and cause damage to the lungs – is 15 micrograms per cubic meter in large urban areas, considerably lower than the OECD average of 20.1 micrograms per cubic meter. Hungary could perform better in terms of water quality, as 77% of people say they are satisfied with the quality of their water, lower than the OECD average of 81%.
Concerning the public sphere, there is a strong sense of community and moderate levels of civic participation in Hungary, where 87% of people believe that they know someone they could rely on in time of need, slightly lower than the OECD average of 88%. Voter turnout, a measure of citizens' participation in the political process, was 62% during recent elections, below the OECD average of 68%. Voter turnout for the top 20% of the population is an estimated 70% and for the bottom 20% it is an estimated 51%, wider than the average OECD difference of 13 percentage points, and points to shortcomings in the political mobilisation of the worst-off.
In general, Hungarians are less satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from 0 to 10, Hungarians gave it a 4.9 grade, one of the lowest scores in the OECD, where average life satisfaction is 6.6.

Hungary in Detail
Housing – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Living in satisfactory housing conditions is one of the most important aspects of people's lives. Housing is essential to meet basic needs, such as shelter, but it is not just a question of four walls and a roof. Housing should offer a place to sleep and rest where people feel safe and have privacy and personal space; somewhere they can raise a family. All of these elements help make a house a home. And of course there is the question whether people can afford adequate housing.
Housing costs take up a large share of the household budget and represent the largest single expenditure for many individuals and families, by the time you add up elements such as rent, gas, electricity, water, furniture or repairs. In Hungary, households on average spend 20% of their gross adjusted disposable income on keeping a roof over their heads, above the OECD average of 18%.
In addition to housing costs it is also important to examine living conditions, such as the average number of rooms shared per person and whether households have access to basic facilities. The number of rooms in a dwelling, divided by the number of persons living there, indicates whether residents are living in crowded conditions. Overcrowded housing may have a negative impact on physical and mental health, relations with others and children's development. In addition, dense living conditions are often a sign of inadequate water and sewage supply. In Hungary, the average home contains 1.1 rooms per person, less than the OECD average of 1.8 rooms per person and one of the lowest rates in the OECD. In terms of basic facilities, 95.2% of people in Hungary live in dwellings with private access to an indoor flushing toilet, less than the OECD average of 97.6%.

Income – Hungary expand
Key Findings
While money may not buy happiness, it is an important means to achieving higher living standards and thus greater well-being. Higher economic wealth may also improve access to quality education, health care and housing.
Household net-adjusted disposable income is the amount of money that a household earns each year after taxes and transfers. It represents the money available to a household for spending on goods or services. In Hungary, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 15 442 a year, lower than the OECD average of USD 25 908.
Household financial wealth is the total value of a household's financial worth, such as money or shares held in bank accounts. In Hungary, the average household net financial wealth per capita is estimated at USD 13 277, much lower than the OECD average of USD 67 139. While the ideal measure of household wealth should also include non-financial assets (e.g. land and dwellings), such information is currently available for only a small number of OECD countries, and is not included here.
Despite a general increase in living standards across OECD countries over the past fifteen years, not all people have benefited from this to the same extent. In Hungary, the average net-adjusted disposable income of the top 20% of the population is an estimated USD 28 707 a year, whereas the bottom 20% live on an estimated USD 6 335 a year.

Jobs – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Having a job brings many important benefits, including: providing a source of income, improving social inclusion, fulfilling one's own aspirations, building self-esteem and developing skills and competencies. In Hungary, 58% of the working-age population aged 15 to 64 has a paid job. This figure is lower than the OECD employment average of 65%. Employment rates are generally higher for individuals with a higher level of education; in Hungary an estimated 79% of individuals with at least a tertiary education have a paid job, compared with an estimated 27% for those without an upper secondary education. This 52 percentage point difference is much higher than the OECD average of 34 percentage points.
Women are still less likely than men to participate in the labour market. In Hungary, 53% of women have jobs. This is less than the OECD average of 58% and the 64% employment rate of men in Hungary. This 11 percentage point difference, however, is lower than the 15 percentage points and suggests Hungary could further improve employment opportunities for women.
Unemployed persons are defined as those who are not currently working but are willing to do so and actively searching for work. Long-term unemployment can have a large negative effect on feelings of well-being and self-worth and result in a loss of skills, further reducing employability. In Hungary, the percentage of the labour force that has been unemployed for a year or longer is currently at almost 5.1%, higher than the OECD average of 2.8%. There is little difference on average between men and women in the OECD area when it comes to long-term unemployment. In Hungary, the long-term unemployment rate for men is slightly higher than for women, with respectively 5.2% and 5.0%.
The wages and other monetary benefits that come with employment are an important aspect of job quality. Hungarians earn USD 20 948 per year on average, much less than the OECD average of USD 36 118. Not everyone earns that amount however. In all OECD countries, men still earn more than women, with an average wage gap of 15.5%. In Hungary, men earn 8.7% more than women. Also, whereas the top 20% of the population earn an estimated USD 25 748 per year, the bottom 20% live on an estimated USD 10 834 per year.
Another essential factor of employment quality is job security. Workers facing a high risk of job loss are more vulnerable, especially in countries with smaller social safety nets. In Hungary, workers face a 5.7% chance of losing their job, higher than the OECD average of 5.4%.

Better Policies for Better Lives
Helping the Roma enter the labour market
The Szechenyi Entrepreneurial Programme (SEP) encourages the integration of Roma people into Hungarian society by providing financial support to improve the market position of Roma enterprises and to increase the social inclusion of Roma people.
The nationwide initiative aims to address the investment needs of Roma businesses and those employing Roma people and principally provides financial support in the form of a grant. The scheme also offers non-financial support, including information services and networking events. Part of the reason for the success of the programme has been the willingness of its managers to be flexible and to redefine eligibility criteria as the programme was implemented. The offer of both financial and non-financial support is also advantageous because these two aspects are mutually supportive. Between 2003 and 2007 a total of 332 grants (worth a total value of EUR 4.6 million) were distributed and an estimated 400 new jobs were created.

Community – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Humans are social creatures. The frequency of our contact with others and the quality of our personal relationships are thus crucial determinants of our well-being.
A strong social network, or community, can provide emotional support during both good and bad times as well as provide access to jobs, services and other material opportunities. In Hungary, 87% of people believe that they know someone they could rely on in a time of need, less than the OECD average of 88%. There is no difference between men and women. While gender has no impact on social network support, there is a clear relationship between the availability of social support on the one hand, and people's education level, on the other. In Hungary, around 82% of people who have completed primary education report having someone to count on for help in times of need, compared to 92% for people who attained tertiary education.
A weak social network can result in limited economic opportunities, a lack of contact with others, and eventually, feelings of isolation. Socially isolated individuals face difficulties integrating into society as a contributing member and fulfilling personal aspirations.

Education – Hungary expand
Key Findings
A well-educated and well-trained population is essential for a country's social and economic well-being. Education plays a key role in providing individuals with the knowledge, skills and competences needed to participate effectively in society and in the economy. Having a good education greatly improves the likelihood of finding a job and earning enough money. Hungarians can expect to go through 17.6 years of education between the ages of 5 and 39, slightly less than the OECD average of 17.7 years.
Graduating from upper secondary education has become increasingly important in all countries, as the skills needed in the labour market are becoming more knowledge-based. High-school graduation rates therefore provide a good indication of whether a country is preparing its students to meet the minimum requirements of the job market. In Hungary, 82% of adults aged 25-64 have completed upper secondary education, higher than the OECD average of 75%. This is truer of men than women, as 85% of men have successfully completed high-school compared with 80% of women. This 5 percentage point difference is higher than the OECD average of 1 percentage point and suggests women's participation in secondary education could be strengthened. At the university level, however, more women complete tertiary education than men in Hungary, at 26% and 19% respectively. This 7 percentage point gap is larger than the OECD average of 4 percentage points.
But graduation rates, while important, speak little to the quality of education received. The OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) reviews the extent to which students have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in modern societies. In 2012, PISA focused on examining students' reading ability, skills in maths and level in sciences, as research shows that these skills are more reliable predictors of economic and social well-being than the number of years spent in school.
The average student in Hungary scored 487 in reading literacy, maths and sciences, close to the OECD average of 497. On average, girls outperformed boys by 9 points, more than the average OECD gap of 8 points.
The best-performing school systems manage to provide high-quality education to all students. In Hungary, the average difference in results, between the students with the highest socio-economic background and the students with the lowest socio-economic is 121 points, much higher than the OECD average of 96 points and the one of largest gaps amongst OECD countries. This suggests the school system in Hungary does not provide equal access to high-quality education.

Environment – Hungary expand
Key Findings
The quality of our local living environment has a direct impact on our health and well-being. Outdoor air pollution is one important environmental issue that directly affects the quality of people's lives. Despite national and international interventions and decreases in major pollutant emissions, the health impacts of urban air pollution continue to worsen, with air pollution set to become the top environmental cause of premature mortality globally by 2050. Air pollution in urban centres, often caused by transport and the use of small-scale burning of wood or coal, is linked to a range of health problems, from minor eye irritation to upper respiratory symptoms in the short-term and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular diseases and lung cancer in the long-term. Children and the elderly may be particularly vulnerable.
PM10 – tiny particulate matter small enough to be inhaled into the deepest part of the lung – is monitored in OECD countries because it can harm human health and reduce life expectancy. In Hungary, PM10 levels in urban areas are 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter, a great improvement from past levels and lower than the OECD average of 20.1 micrograms per cubic meter and the annual guideline limit of 20 micrograms per cubic meter set by the World Health Organization.
Access to clean water is fundamental to human well-being. Despite significant progress in OECD countries in reducing water pollution, improvements in freshwater quality are not always easy to discern. In Hungary, 77% of people say they are satisfied with water quality, lower than the OECD average of 81%.

Governance – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Trust in government is essential for social cohesion and well-being. High voter turnout is a measure of citizens' participation in the political process. In the most recent elections for which data are available, voter turnout in Hungary was 62% of those registered. This figure is lower than the OECD average of 68%.
Even if the right to vote is universal in all OECD countries, not everyone exercises this right. There is little difference in the voting rates of men and women in most OECD countries. This is the case in Hungary, where the voter turnout of men and women is similar, at an estimated 63% and 61%. While on average there are few differences between men and women concerning participation in elections, income can make a big difference in voter turnout. In Hungary, voter turnout for the top 20% of the population is an estimated 70%, whereas the participation rate of the bottom 20% is an estimated 51%. This 19 percentage point difference is higher than the OECD average difference of 13 percentage points, and points to shortcomings in the political mobilisation of those of the worst-off.
In general, women are in the minority among elected representatives and although their number has slightly increased in the last decade, it is still well below parity. In Hungary, only 9% of the seats in national parliament are held by women, much less than the OECD average of 28%.
Ensuring that government decision making is not compromised by conflicts of interest is key to maintaining trust in government. Transparency is therefore essential to hold government to account and to maintain confidence in public institutions.
Freedom of information laws (FOI) allow the possibility for individuals to access undisclosed information. For such policies to be successful, the public should have a clear understanding of their rights under the law, should be able to file requests with ease and should be protected against any possible retaliation. People in Hungary can file a request for information either in writing, online, by telephone or in person – thus greatly facilitating the FOI process. There are even provisions for anonymity – an important protection that few OECD countries have adopted. There is not yet, however, built-in protection from retaliation.

Health – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Most OECD countries have enjoyed large gains in life expectancy over the past decades, thanks to improvements in living conditions, public health interventions and progress in medical care. Life expectancy at birth in Hungary stands at 75 years, five years below the OECD average of 80 years and one of the lowest across the OECD. Life expectancy for women is 79 years, compared with 72 for men, a wider difference than the average OECD gender gap of five years, with a life expectancy for women living of 82 years and 77 years for men. Higher life expectancy is generally associated with higher health care spending per person, although many other factors have an impact on life expectancy (such as living standards, lifestyles, education and environmental factors).
When asked, "How is your health in general?" 57% of people in Hungary reported to be in good health, less than the OECD average of 68%. Despite the subjective nature of this question, answers have been found to be a good predictor of people's future health care use. Gender, age and social status may affect answers to this question. On average in OECD countries, men are more likely to report good health than women, with an average of 70% for men and 66% for women. In Hungary, the average is 61% for men and 53% for women. Not surprisingly, older people report poorer health, as do those who are unemployed, or who have less education or income. About 69% of adults with a disposable income in the top 20% in Hungary rate their health as "good" or "very good", compared to about 53% for those with a disposable income in the bottom 20%.

Life Satisfaction – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Happiness or subjective well-being can be measured in terms of life satisfaction, the presence of positive experiences and feelings, and the absence of negative experiences and feelings. Such measures, while subjective, are a useful complement to objective data to compare the quality of life across countries.
Life satisfaction measures how people evaluate their life as a whole rather than their current feelings. When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from 0 to 10, Hungarians gave it a 4.9 grade, one of the lowest in the OECD where the average life satisfaction is 6.6.
There is little difference in life satisfaction levels between men and women across OECD countries. This is true in Hungary, where men gave their life a 5.1 grade, only slightly higher than the 4.8 grade given by women. When considering people's education level, however, there is a clear difference in life satisfaction levels in many OECD. Whereas people who have only completed primary education in Hungary have a life satisfaction level of 4.5, this score reaches 6.1 for people with tertiary education.

Safety – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Personal security is a core element for the well-being of individuals, and includes the risks of people being physically assaulted or falling victim to other types of crime. Across the OECD, assault rates have generally declined in the past five years. In Hungary, 3.6% of people reported falling victim to assault over the previous 12 months, less than the OECD average of 3.9%. There is little difference between men and women in assault rates, at respectively 3.4% and 3.8%.
The homicide rate (the number of murders per 100 000 inhabitants) is a more reliable measure of a country's safety level because, unlike other crimes, murders are usually always reported to the police. According to the latest OECD data, Hungary's homicide rate is 1.3, lower than the OECD average of 4.0. In Hungary, the homicide rate for men is 1.7 compared with 1.0 for women.
However, while men are at a greater risk of being victims of assault and violent crime, women report lower feelings of security than men. This has been explained by a greater fear of sexual attacks, the feeling they must also protect their children and their concern that they may be seen as partially responsible.

Work-Life Balance – Hungary expand
Key Findings
Finding a suitable balance between work and life is a challenge for all workers, especially working parents. The ability to successfully combine work, family commitments and personal life is important for the well-being of all members in a household. Governments can help to address the issue by encouraging supportive and flexible working practices, making it easier for parents to strike a better balance between work and home life.
An important aspect of work-life balance is the amount of time a person spends at work. Evidence suggests that long work hours may impair personal health, jeopardise safety and increase stress. The share of employees working 50 hours or more per week is not very large across OECD countries. In Hungary, some 3% of employees work very long hours, less than the OECD average of 13%. Overall, more men work very long hours; in Hungary 5% of men work very long hours, compared with 2% for women.
Better Policies for Better Lives
More support to families can boost fertility in Hungary
At 1.34 children per woman, the total fertility rate in Hungary is one of the lowest across the OECD (the average is 1.71). The decline in fertility started in the 1980s, and accelerated in the early 1990s. Since 2000, fertility rates stabilised in Hungary, while about half of the other OECD countries experienced an increase. Low fertility goes hand in hand with low employment among women. In 2013, the female employment rate was 52.8% (about 5 percentage points below the OECD average), and at 51.7% in 2011 the maternal employment rate was among the lowest in European OECD countries.
Low fertility and female employment rates are largely explained by insufficient support for parents to reconcile work and care commitments. Hungary is among the top OECD spenders on families with 4% of GDP allocated to family benefits in 2011. However, only 1/3 of such spending is on family services (including childcare supports) while this share is closer to 50% in countries with higher female employment and fertility rates.
The prolonged duration of parental leave and the limited provision of childcare supports establish barriers to employment for many mothers. Parental leave can last up to 3 years (compared with 1.5 years on average across the OECD) and be combined with a cash-for-care payment; a parent of three or more children can even stay at home and receive this benefit until the youngest child is eight years old. Moreover, less than 11% of children under age 3 are enrolled in formal childcare services.
The evidence from other countries is that a wider provision of formal childcare services is a more effective tool for helping parents with work and family commitments and thus raise birth rates.

Morning WakeIn the morning I wake.Morning Wake by OneAgainstAnArmy
A brand new day
As dawn breaks.
My head still heavy like a stone,
I drag myself through my room.
I collect my clothes and head to the shower.
Twenty minutes, a brand new flower.
Awake and up I do my chores,
I do a lot
And then some more.
I shine light on the dogs and water the cats,
I feed the rug and walk the plants.
Every morning I do these things
With tiredness I cannot fake.
I have no bounce in my spring
Every time I morning wake.
Preparing For WarThe men in charge,Preparing For War by OneAgainstAnArmy
They sit in their tent,
Counseling each other
While the soldiers repent.
I care not, nor worry, nor desire,
As I prepare to burn the battlefield
With rage like fire.
With my wit as sharp as my sword
I'm prepared to destroy this ward.
My heart is a cold-stoned force,
It has to be to show no fear or remorse.
Tonight the giant sleeps,
The city safe and sound.
Slowly dawn creeps,
Tomorrow the battle ground.
How Angels FallsAngels fall like this,How Angels Falls by OneAgainstAnArmy
They indulge themselves with bliss.
They've watched the world so long
They forget what's right and wrong.
Angels fall like this,
Once their innocence light as a feather,
Now their sin a heavy stone.
Once their love was all together,
Now they're lost and all alone.
Angels fall like this,
The light from their halo gone
Their grace falling with the dusking dawn.
Angels fall like this,
Up above, from way up high
They're falling stars from the sky.
Angels fall like this.
I Prefer RejectionI accepted rejection,I Prefer Rejection by OneAgainstAnArmy
It was a part of my life.
Years of, "You can't do this. You can't get that."
Years of saying, "All right."
Now the tables have turned.
An experience that's new.
A miracle occurred,
And I don't know what to do.
I filled out an application,
Something I've done a millions times before.
Normally a letter returns stating,
"We regret to inform…"
This time was different
When the letter came.
The letter was thicker and bigger,
But I expected rejection all the same.
I opened the letter,
And to my surprise
The letter read, "Congratulations!"
And I screamed, "ALL RIGHT!"

Hey everyone, I'm hoping you guys can help me out here. I'm looking to buy a new cell phone and I'm not very savvy when it comes to this type of thing so please bare with me.
I just recently researched and ordered my wife a new phone. and during that little "research" process (with her help ofcourse) I realized just how much I don't know about today's cell phones and how much that they cost. I have never had any kind "extravagant phone" - if you will.
Anyhow, here in a couple of weeks I will be switching to T-mobile's 30 day unlimited everything plan($50), and I'm not quite sure on what to get that fits my price range and the features that I do and don't need. I have been searching all over the place for the last week or better, and everytime I think that I found something, I start reading reviews about it and end up changing my mind.
Please, help me out here. Obviously any unlocked phone is fine too.
Price range: Up to $160 - MAYBE $170
***Texting - I DO NOT text
***Facebook or any other social networks - NO! Never have, never will.
***Music - Doesn't have to be able to hold a ridiculous amount, just enough. Maybe 2-4 gig.
***Video - Prefer it to be able to play youtube video's(AKA Adobe flash compatible).
***5 pixel camera - I defiantly do need this for work. I'm tired of having to use other peoples phones when trying to take a good picture of a trial job to send it in for spec sheets.
***Able to send pictures.
***QWERTY - Preferably, but not a "need" for sure.
***Internet - not just HTML
***Games - Not very important at all, maybe a few here and there.
***O/S - Preferably Android 2 or Windows 6.5:
If anyone at all can help out here I would very much appreciate it. I'm tired of banging my head against the wall here trying to figure it all out. If there is anything else that I forgot to mention that will help you help me, please tell me.
I have to go to bed right now, but I will check back tomorrow night. Thanks in advance.

BEIRUT — A powerful car bomb killed a prominent Lebanese politician critical of Syria and its ally Hezbollah, hitting his SUV Friday as it drove through a ritzy business district near Beirut's waterfront, shredding trees and scattering glass and twisted scraps of metal across the pavement.
Allies of the slain politician, former finance minister Mohammed Chatah, indirectly blamed the Shiite Hezbollah group for the bombing, raising tensions between Lebanon's two main political camps at a time when the country's factions are at odds over the civil war in neighboring Syria.
The morning explosion echoed across Beirut and threw a pillar of black smoke above the city's skyline. The force of the blast punched a nearly 2-yard wide crater in the street, set at least three cars on fire and shattered windows in office buildings and apartment towers up to a block away.
The 62-year-old Chatah, who was also a former Lebanese ambassador to the United States and a senior aide to former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, was killed along with his driver and four others, the National News Agency reported. The Health Ministry said at least 70 people were wounded.
In a statement, the 15 members of the U.N. Security Council condemned the attack and "reiterated their unequivocal condemnation of any attempt to destabilize Lebanon through political assassinations."
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the bombing was reminiscent of a string of assassinations of around a dozen members of the anti-Syrian Hariri camp that shook Lebanon between 2004 and 2008.
Security officials said the car that blew up in the attack Friday was rigged with up to 130 pounds of explosives, and parked along Chatah's route.
Chatah's death marks a serious loss for the pro-Western camp in Lebanon. The 62-year-old was a prominent economist who once worked at the International Monetary Fund in the U.S. and later served as Lebanese ambassador to the U.S. He later served as finance minister when Saad took over the premiership and stayed on as his senior adviser after he lost the post in early 2011.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Atlantis blasted off Monday for the Hubble Space Telescope on the most delicate and dangerous repair job ever in orbit — a mission so risky that for the first time a second shuttle stands ready to rescue the seven astronauts if something goes wrong.
It will be the last visit to the aging observatory, and the work will include five spacewalks in an especially high orbit strewn with space junk. The astronauts will try to fix equipment that was never designed to be tinkered with in space, and they will not have the option of using the international space station as a safe harbor in a crisis.
"I have full confidence that they'll pull off a success, and if they do, we'll have a Hubble for at least five, six, eight years more," said Ed Weiler, NASA's science mission chief.
The crew will replace Hubble's batteries and gyroscopes, install two cameras, and take a crack at fixing two broken science instruments.
Mission Control wasted no time informing the astronauts that an early look at the launch video had uncovered nothing of concern. Some debris was spotted coming off the fuel tank, but nothing appeared to strike Atlantis.
Hubble was passing almost directly overhead as Atlantis rocketed off its launch pad for the 11-day flight. When the telescope broke down in the fall, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration postponed the mission seven months to devise additional repairs.
"At this point, all I've got left to say is 'Let's launch Atlantis,' " commander Scott Altman said just before liftoff.
"Enjoy the ride, pal," replied launch director Mike Leinbach.
Thirty-thousand people packed the launch site, eager to see NASA's fifth and final send-off to the 19-year-old Hubble.

Skip to comments.Clinton Operatives Behind Anti-Bush Ad Campaign
Posted on 07/10/2002 8:13:10 AM PDT by Paul Atreides
Former Clinton political hitman James Carville, who recently touted New York Sen. Hillary Clinton for a 2008 presidential run, is reportedly behind an advertising campaign attacking President Bush for his 1990 sale of Harken Energy stock as well as his ties to the oil industry in general.
American Family Voices, a group described by the New York Times as "secretive," has paid to run a 30-second commercial on cable news programs in Washington, D.C., and in New York through Thursday.
The ad blasts President Bush as "sly like a fox" for talking down his dealings with Harken Energy, which Democrats claim amounted to insider trading.
Under questioning from the Times, Democratic Party spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri, who served as a senior aide to ex-President Clinton, confessed that Carville has significant ties to American Family Voices.
The secretive group is headed by another former Clinton aide, Michael Lux, who told the Times that the AFV commercial was timed to coincide with President Bush's speech on corporate responsibility.
Additional AFV ties to the Clinton administration include its advertising agency, the Glover Park Group. Former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart is a partner at Glover, as are Carter Eskew and Michael Feldman, who were top advisers in former Vice President Al Gore's 2000 campaign.
American Family Voices also sponsors a Web site called "The Daily Enron," which argues that the Bush administration is responsible for various corporate scandals.
Yet another former top Clinton staffer, Stanley Greenberg, serves on the board of Democrats.com, which in July began touting an analysis claiming that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are "personally and directly responsible" for the deaths of the passengers and crew of 9-11 hijacked airliner Flight 93.
The involvement of Carville and other Clinton aides in the overt assault on the Bush White House belies the conventional wisdom that the Clintons have removed themselves as players in the realm of presidential politics.
Though the White House has basically ignored their attacks, both Mr. Clinton and his wife have hinted that President Bush is at least partially responsible for leaving the U.S. vulnerable to the 9-11 attacks.
On Monday, Mrs. Clinton began touting the theme of the AFV ads, telling an upstate New York audience that Bush "hadn't shown much leadership" during the wave of recent business scandals that have sent the stock market reeling.
I highly resent the use of that phrase without justly compensating the original slyfox.
We're through letting these doubletalkers have it every single way they want it!
Oh, I don't see a conflict.
Corporate Tax Breaks Corporate lobbyists in Washington are lining up to feed at the taxpayers trough.
And the Republican Leadership wants to feed them well:
A retroactive $1.4 billion tax break to IBM
$1 billion to Ford
$671 million to General Electric
Over $100 billion in proposed special interest tax breaks
and rising.
Hard to believe the greed?

Description American Family Voices is an non-profit organization that declares its mission to be advocacy for progressive public policies, especially economic issues (www.checkforyourself.com). The organization was founded by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). According to The New York Times, AFSCME provided $800,000 to start the organization
(Source: The New York Times, August 11, 2000). However, neither the groups ads nor its web-site (www.checkforyourself.com) disclose its relationship with the union. In addition, the website does not include a phone number or contact person, for the group.
Broadcast Issue Advocacy Activity The group announced that their public education effort for the 2000 election cycle includes grassroots and Internet organizing, TV and radio advertising, and direct voter contact programs. According to the groups mission statement, their issue advocacy effort will cover a wide range of media markets, states, and congressional districts. It will focus on health care-related issues, especially HMO reforms that include a strong Patients' Bill of Rights; nursing home regulations, and guaranteed prescription drug coverage for senior citizens (Source: www.checkforyourself.com).
In August 2000, American Family Voices launched a television ad criticizing several health care decisions made by presidential candidate George W. Bush (R) as governor of Texas, and attributing them to large Republican Party donations from the insurance, nursing home and drug industries. The announcer of the 30-second spot says, "The convention's over. And look who won. The insurance industry; they've invested millions in George W. Bush, who vetoed a patients' bill of rights in Texas.
Nursing home operators; they've given over a hundred thousand to Bush, who weakened nursing home laws in Texas, while patient complaints doubled. The big drug companies; they've kicked in millions for Bush, who joined them in opposing guaranteed Medicare prescription coverage."
The ad urged the viewers to "tell Bush when special interests win, American families lose." The ad reportedly ran in Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, and Washington, DC (Source: The Hotline, August 11, 2000).
CMAG tracked over $640,000 in spending on American Family Voice's television campaign.

By DANIEL ALTMAN
WASHINGTON, July 9 A small, secretive group that used television advertisements to attack George W. Bush during his campaign for president has re-emerged to point to links between oil companies with questionable accounting practices and the Bush administration.
The group, American Family Voices, paid for a 30-second commercial that will be shown until Thursday on cable news programs here and in New York. The commercial calls President Bush "sly like a fox" for talking down his dealings with Harken Energy, an oil company on whose board he once sat.
Twelve years ago, Mr. Bush sold stock in Harken just before it reported a $23.2 million loss, and he reported the sale to the Securities and Exchange Commission eight months late. The commercial also criticizes Vice President Dick Cheney for ties to Halliburton, an oil services company that the S.E.C. is investigating.
The commercial even suggests that the commission's chairman, Harvey L. Pitt, is unfit for the job because he was once a lawyer for several accounting firms, including Arthur Andersen.
American Family Voices said the commercial was timed to coincide with Mr. Bush's speech on corporate responsibility. Michael Lux, president of the group, said it wanted to reach "opinion leaders" in New York and politicians in Washington.
Mr. Lux, a consultant who works for American Family Voices under contract, would not say who donated the money for the television time. But the group and its advertising agency, the Glover Park Group, have significant links to the Clinton administration. Mr. Lux was an aide to President Bill Clinton, and the partners at Glover Park include Joe Lockhart, who was once Mr. Clinton's press secretary, and Carter Eskew and Michael Feldman, two advisers to Al Gore's unsuccessful campaign for president in 2000.
Mr. Lux said 12 donors responded to a request for money, and he hinted that the contributors included a trial lawyer, an executive in high technology and a prominent person in Hollywood.
Mr. Lockhart would not say how much American Family Voices paid the agency to create the advertisement, but he said the broadcasting time cost about $100,000.
Jennifer Palmieri, a spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee, said the committee had nothing to do with the commercial. But Ms. Palmieri said that James Carville, once a top campaigner for Mr. Clinton, was involved with American Family Voices.
The absence of direct involvement by the Democratic Party did not assuage the White House. "Given the source of the ads, given that they come from James Carville," said Anne Womack, a White House spokeswoman, "they represent the most partisan of partisan attacks."
In the last year, from a sea-green brick building in Washington, American Family Voices has criticized Mr. Bush's tax breaks for corporations and has sponsored a Web site called The Daily Enron, which chronicles corporate accounting scandals.
The group was formed in 2000 with money from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. It has four employees, led by Mr. Lux. It has Section 501(c)4 tax status, which means it cannot run advertisements mentioning specific candidates within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary. The status also lets the group keep the identities of its backers a secret.

Mr. Lux said 12 donors responded to a request for money, and he hinted that the contributors included a trial lawyer, an executive in high technology and a prominent person in Hollywood.
My guess is Peter Angelos- top democratic donor, trial lawyer and owner of the Baltimore Orioles, Vinod Gupta and Barbara Streisand. Care to bet on this one?
The daily Enron's web site appears to be down. Tsk, tsk. But, here's a cached version. Under the "know thy enemy" heading, here is another site of this group: Check For Yourself.
Michael Lux's biography as a partisan hack for democrats.
Glover Park Group
The September 11 attacks mortally wounded network television ad sales. So it was no big surprise when NBC, a unit of General Electric, announced it was closing time for its 50-year-long ban on liquor ads at the end of last year. What is surprising, however, was which firm Diageo Plc, the United Kingdom-based spirits company that owns popular brands like Guinness, Smirnoff and Johnny Walker, went to in order to produce its prime-time commercial for NBC: Instead of going with a glitzy Madison Avenue agency, Diageo hired Washington insiders Joe Lockhart, Mike Feldman and Carter Eskew to get the drink-Smirnoff-but-drink-safely message across.
The three Democratic spinmeisters joined forces this summer and launched the DC-based Glover Park Group, a small communications-consulting firm that specializes in issue advertising. At the time, Lockhart, a Clinton White House press secretary; Feldman, who was a senior advisor to Vice President Al Gore; and Eskew, chief strategist for Gore's presidential campaign, were all taking some time off. "We all decided it was time to get serious," says Lockhart, who quit his job as press secretary to flack for Oracle's Larry Ellison - but returned to DC in May 2001 because he said he found bisexual life to be too grueling. (Couldn't possibly have had anything to do with Larry Ellison being too grueling, we're sure.)
The nascent firm has already created ads for Bob Dole and Bill Clinton's philanthropic collaboration; eBizJets, a Boston, MA-based airline; and various do-gooder groups. But Diageo's name is conspicuously absent on the "Who We've Worked With" section of the Glover Park Group's website.
Asked about the controversial prime-time liquor campaign, Lockhart says, "We are referring all calls about that to Guinness . We are not discussing that campaign." Lockhart adds that there are at least three new deals that his firm is working on but is similarly unable to talk about them. "Clients are funny that way," he says.
FYI, some other names on Lockhart's client list include WorldCom & Andersen.
Bears repeating:
W needs to realize that he is not dealing with that moron, Ann Richards. These are sleazy gangsters who need to be blown out of the water.
No, but the "Biased" media is very happy to report about it. Start a dialog on unfounded allegations from a secret tax-exempt organization. That in effect, makes it a national advertising campaign.

What a laughable notion. Wouldn't "Mrs." Clinton and her husband be more responsible for the vulnerabilities, given their 8-year run as Thieves-In-Chief?
Democrats, facing the ban they supported on unregulated "soft" campaign money, have formed a fledgling "donor network" to take advantage of a loophole in the new law.
The Progressive Donor Network held its inaugural strategy meeting in Washington two weeks ago. Its president and co-founder is political consultant Michael Lux, who was a top fund-raising official for the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign and served as an aide in the Clinton White House.
A search on opensecrets.org is in order. I've got to run. If no-one else gets to it, I'll check it out later.
That smear attempt, more than anything else, convinced me that Dubya was the real deal, a decent good man. If that was the worst dirt they could throw at him right before the election, he must be one terrific guy. The most revealing part of the whole drunk-driving episode was that his dad didn't cover his behind or have the records destroyed. He could've done both. You build character in your kids by making them accept responsibity for their actions.
Me either...even worse she's a special assistant to W too. Gives me the creeps just thinking about her and carVile together!

Getting pregnant after miscarriage
I had a miscarriage about 4 weeks ago. I am still waiting for my period to come so I can start trying again. Are there any cautions to trying again right away? Anything I should do differently to encourage a healthy pregnancy?

I was about 10 wks along when I miscarried. The baby stopped developing after 6 wks. My husband and I have a 3 year old so we were excited to know were pregnant again. I know that everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for all of us. It's hard to deal with and I would not wish it on anyone. My Dr recommended that I try again when I was ready. My husband and I tried for the past 3 months and I just found out a couple days ago that I am pregnant. We are very excited and thanking God for the oppurtunity to do this again. I will admit I am a little nervous but overall I am taking it one day at a time and enjoying it! Good luck and God bless!!!posted 10/01/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage in November, I was about 5 weeks along and lost the baby. The doctor said it would be good to wait a couple of months to try again. We didn't use protection like two times after and I began having pregnancy symptoms again half way through December. I took three pregnancy tests all positive and got my blood work done today. In a way Im really excited, but Im also very concerned. I feel like if I didnt go through a cycle then my body probably wasn't completely healed before becoming pregnant again. Im really scared about loosing another baby. I dont know if I have it in me...posted 01/06/2010 by Acp143Alp
This is for everyone. My Pastor preached on yesterday that " Your blesssing is on the way, BUT you gotta hold on Genesis 32:24-29.

The rest of my story...on March 25th at 7 1/2 weeks, on my insistance becaus eof spotting, I had a vaginal which showed my baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks. I miscarried 2 days later and was heartbroken. BUT just before July 4th weekend, was apparently one of my " aftermisscarriage fertile times." I conceived again, and am now 16 weeks pregnant. Yes, I am nervous, and had another spotting scare at 7 weeks, but so far so good. We are due March 24th, 3 days before the anniversary of my miscarriage - something positive to focus on!! :)posted 10/05/2010 by wipeach2

I had a miscarriage 7/28/11 at about 6 weeks pregnant. Sure enough I did not have another cycle come August. I took a pregnancy test 4 days past my date & it revealed I am pregnant...meaning I got knocked up 2 weeks after my miscarriage and my miscarriage is the LMP for this pregnancy putting me at 4 weeks 5 days. I go to the doctor today. Best of luck to you all. I'm praying God's will for your lives! :-)posted 08/30/2011 by tpjamerson
i mc 4/14 and i found out today that im pregnant again. no cycle between. if its meant to be then it will happen.posted 05/10/2011 by mcgrathgirl09
I posted back in November just thought I would update everyone. I miscarried at 7 weeks in October 2010. We did not wait to start trying (partially becausr we were not officially told to wait until after my post miscarriage appt 4 weeks later, by then it was too late!). Anyway happy to report that I got a positive pregnancy before that next cycle and I am currently 17 weeks and everything is looking good. Listen to your body and mind, if you can handle the thought of another loss so soon after then go for it. If your body is not healed then you won't get pregnant.posted 02/17/2011 by karenfabs
I just wanted to give some encouragement to those of you trying to conceive after a miscarriage. This site and all the people who had posted on this topic gave me so much comfort. Please hang in there. After my 5th baby was shown to have no heartbeat, I was crushed. Our baby had passed on at 15 weeks. I know that some say to wait a certain length of time before trying again. I chose to go for it right away. I had a d&c in February 2012 and was pregnant by April 2012. We had a healthy baby boy in January 2013. No complications! It is possible!posted 02/26/2013 by 4here2inheaven
(In response to the last 5 ladies that posted) We are deeply sorry. For any lost of a child is devastated. I was waiting for someone else to post but I figured I would just do so. response to kiyazulaiqha just stay prayerful and focus GOD has not forgotten about you. Get back mentally and physically and when it is your time it will happen. In respone to very_shelly I hope you went to the doctor and congratulations. Its nothing to be embarress about if its your time it is. Keep us posted. In response to lv_emila everyone body is different. Did your doctor say why to wait so long? Normally they tell you to wait to get your cycle back on track and to make sure your body is healthy enough for another preganancy but there is no proof that waiting for 6 months will prevent another MC. Stay prayerful. I know easy said then done for I have had a couple of MC but I've also had healthy babies. Ladies dont give up your time is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received a call the other day from someone asking a very simple question, or at least I thought it was.
Aren't you glad filing your taxes is over for another year? Unless, of course, you are on extension like millions of others.
But before you put away all of your documents, maybe a review is once again in order.
As they say in racing parlance, we are making the turn and heading for the finish line. In just a few days, the tax season for this year will come to an end.
That is, unless you get an extension for six months until Oct. 15.
March madness is over!
Time for April anxiety to begin. Just a few more ideas for those who haven't finished preparing their returns.
Just think, three weeks to go until tax day. What nuggets of tax advice haven't you already heard about? It seems everyone has an opinion or a list of items to discuss.
The gift tax discussion is like the Energizer Bunny. It goes on, and on and on. At first, it was just a primer on who is required to file, etc. But the deeper we look, it has many other twists and turns.
The gift tax as we know it started in 1924, had been repealed, reintroduced, and by 1999, which represented its peak, had raised almost $5 billion in revenue.
Besides the usual filing of your own Form 1040 by April 15, are you responsible for filing a gift tax return on Form 709?
Did you give anyone, excluding your spouse, a gift of property worth more than $14,000 during 2013? Did you give anyone a gift of a future interest, regardless of the value? Then...
Filing taxes should not be stressful, but we all seem to get worked up over it. You have known it was coming since last year and you should have recovered since then.
This question regarding IRAs came up the other day: "When do I have to fund the payment for this deduction if I want to take it for this year's taxes?"
The answer is April 15, which is the official filing date for the return.

By using an app that does incremental back ups. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.

I use Synk Pro to incrementally backup my library. I have it set to check and do the backup when iPhoto is closed. That keeps the activity down while I'm using iPhoto. When I close iPhoto Synk Pro immediately scans the two libraries and makes the backups necessary.
But any incremental backup app will make the process short and simple.

"Harrison Hot Springs" Harrison Lake by Twan
Harrison Lake Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 20 photos
Harrison Hot Springs is situated at the southern end of Harrison Lake. This is the largest lake in the Lower Mainland and has water access to the Pacific Ocean via the Harrison and Fraser Rivers. Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of activities. The beach is ideal for sunbathing and the lagoon provides a protected warm-water spot for swimming. The lake is also a popular destination for boaters and wind surfers.
Visitors may enjoy the mineral water in the public pool, for which there is a nominal charge. Despite its international reputation, Harrison retains its small village qualities, with a leisurely pace and a friendly atmosphere.

Markets Diverge as Apple Gets Hammered
(NFX) and WPX Energy (WPX) were the top two gainers on the S&P, rising 7.5% and 4.7%, respectively.Verizon (VZ - Get Report) will sell as much as $49 billion worth of bonds to raise the funds needed to buy Vodafone (VOD) from their Verizon Wireless joint venture, The Wall Street Journal reported. Shares closed incrementally higher at $46.52. Texas Instruments (TXN - Get Report) narrowed its earnings guidance for the third quarter. The chipmaker said Tuesday that it expects to earn between 51 cents and 55 cents a share in the quarter, which was lower than the previous guidance of 49 cents to 57 cents a share. Analysts have predicted earnings of 53 cents a share. Company shares dropped 0.69% to $40.03. Investors appeared to absorb President Barack Obama's nationwide address Tuesday night on Syria in which he proposed a diplomatic solution with Russia's aid to seize Syria's chemical weapons arsenal thereby avoiding a military intervention in the Middle Eastern nation. Obama did reiterate that, if necessary, a limited targeted strike could be used to achieve a clear goal: "deterring the use of chemical weapons and degrading Assad's capabilities." "The Syria address last night by the president, I think, just no surprised there [went] as expected," said Kent Croft, portfolio manager with Croft Leominster. "There are not any big surprises out there right now." European markets closed higher on Wednesday. The FTSE 100 in London was up 0.07%, and the DAX in Frankfurt added 0.58%. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email.

Great Game
This review is from: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Pack Nintendo 3DS Game
Pros: -Great graphics
Cons: -The skylanders are too expensive >_<;;
Other Thoughts: I own about 5 other 3ds games and I often switch between them. When I started playing this game, I couldn't get away from it. I love the gameplay and my only 2 complaints is the fact that the skylanders are so expensive >_>; and that its a bit annoying to switch characters with the portal.

Mori Ogai
Mori Ogai (mō´rē ō´gäē), 1862–1922, Japanese army physician, medical researcher, literary critic, novelist, translator, scholar, and playwright, he is now primarily remembered for his fiction. After an early flurry of literary activity, Ogai concentrated on his medical career with the Japanese army, but upon his retirement, turned to writing fiction full time. Ogai played a leading role in the Japanese romantic literary movement, taking a stand against naturalism incorporating elements from Japanese, Chinese, and western civilization. His later works, fictionalized accounts of historical incidents and personages, stressed the virtues of patriotism and self-sacrifice.
See study by R. J. Bowring (1979).

The immigrant rights group OneAmerica kicked off a campaign for immigration reform at a City Hall press conference today, setting the stage for a package of initiatives expected by the Obama administration. One speaker at the event was Leandro Barranco-Morales, a worker detained in the raid at Yamato Engine Specialists in Bellingham last February--the first such raid after President Obama took office.
After Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said she didn't know about the raid, and ordered a review, all of the detained workers were released pending an investigation of Yamato. But deportation proceedings had already started against seven workers, including Barranco-Morales, and they are still scheduled to be removed from the country once the Yamato investigation is complete. Their lawyer, Lesley Irizarry-Hougan, wrote a letter this week to Esther Olavarria, Homeland Security's deputy assistant secretary for policy, asking her to reopen their cases.At the press conference, Barranco-Morales, wearing a white-T-shirt and jeans, talked about how workers were surrounded during the raid "as if we were terrorists."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is proceeding with its investigation of Yamato. In April, ICE carried out a search warrant at the 75,000-square-foot engine manufacturing plant. Yamato could well be a test case of Obama's immigration policy. His administration has said it is more interested in prosecuting employers that flout immigration laws than workers. Will the president use Yamato to make the point?

Although trained in the law and medicine, Nicolas Copernicus (1473-1543) was more interested in astronomy and math. By the early 1500s, he realized that Ptolemyís system for calculating the positions of the planets was much too cumbersome. He decided that the computations would be far simpler if the Sun were placed at the center of the universe instead of Earth, and he worked out the details. Although he shared his ideas with many European intellectuals, he bided his time before publishingóprobably a smart idea because he was a canon in a cathedral, where his explosive ideas would not have been popular. His book detailing the heliocentric modelóDE REVOLUTIONIBUS ORBIUM COELESTIUM, or THE REVOLUTION OF THE HEAVENLY ORBSófinally appeared in print in 1543, the year he died. He dedicated it to Pope Paul III, and a preface was added (without the knowledge of Copernicus) saying that the theory was intended only for making the calculations of planetary positions easier and not meant to be a statement of reality. It must have workedóit didnít make the list of banned books until 1616. The title also helped give a new meaning to the word ěrevolution,î which previously referred only to the motion of celestial bodies but has since taken on political overtones.
