A federal judge in Denver on Tuesday sentenced a man to 22 months in prison for helping to run a Golden massage parlor that was a front for prostitution.
The sentence will begin after Patrick Kim completes a nine-month sentence in the Los Angeles County Jail for an earlier probation violation.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock sentenced Kim to serve the sentences consecutively, despite a request from his lawyer, David Lindsey, that they run concurrently.
A concurrent sentence would allow Kim, 45, to receive educational and employment training and other services that aren't offered in the jail, Lindsey said. "It is not a huge amount of time, but in those nine months he could complete the waiting period and get started."
Kim has a degree in finance from New York University, but a 2010 felony forgery conviction means "I can no longer work with banks," Kim told Babcock.
Kim didn't have a felony conviction until that year, when he was also convicted on drug charges, Lindsey said. He violated probation after getting out of jail in California.
He played a minor role at the massage parlor, providing condoms, transportation to the working girls and advice to Hyosook Ko, 37, the business owner, on how to avoid detection, Babcock said.
He also provided money to buy the business, and did maintenance work at the massage parlor.
Hyosook Ko, who has also admitted guilt, provided the prostitutes with housing, and offered customers of "Happy Feet Body and Foot Reflexology," with the women's services.
Hysook Ko, who also pleaded guilty to money laundering, could get up to 24 months in prison at her sentencing, scheduled for Dec. 11.

As the Dingles face turmoil, Cameron decides that the only thing he can do is watch quietly from the sidelines and continue to persuade Debbie to stick to their story. However all of this pressure is taking its toll on their relationship.
Charity picks up pretty quickly that Debbie isn't herself and tries to find out what's going on in her own inimitable way. When that doesn't exactly go to plan, she turns to Cain to see if he, as Debbie's dad, can weave his magic to get to the bottom of things.
Just when he thinks everything is going to plan, he sneaks off to see Debbie and Charity and Cain walk in and catch them in an embrace. Will be interesting to see how they explain their way out of this one.
Plus, Cameron goes into a real panic when Debbie says that she wants to come clean about the whole thing. As the week goes on, Debbie is desperate for the truth to be revealed and vows to tell Chas what's going on behind her back. However she also has to face more questions from the police. She is going to crack under all of this pressure, it's only a matter of time.
Meanwhile Rhona agrees to go for a drink with a very happy Vanessa, but then secretly goes behind her back - desperate for an extra fix. She then sets up a meeting with her dealer and is in a right state when he turns up empty handed. In fact she's so desperate that she says she will take whatever he has, no matter what it is. Scary stuff.
Elsewhere, Nicola is pretty clear when she tells Steve to stop annoying her however he is not getting the message, appearing to enjoy what he sees as 'the chase'. The penny begins to drop when she threatens to tell Jimmy.

California Classics has been "Your Resource Regarding the CA Vaquero and Buckaroo Styles" for twenty-one years. We make most CC gear on the ranch here in the heart of CA vaquero country (with a few additions by friend-craftsmen).
Due to overwhelming global demand and interest in the CA style, we are reorganizing CC. To better serve our customers while honoring our tradition of supporting American cattle ranchers, craftsmen and artisans, we are expanding our lines. As in the past, we will employ no imitations or shortcuts. We offer only authentic CA style gear developed here by the legendary vaqueros.
As part of our plan of action, we have closed our custom lists for rawhide braiding. For those of you who have standing orders with us, please rest assured that we have NOT forgotten about you. Taking care of every one of our remaining custom rawhide orders on a "first in, first out" basis will be our focus until they are all satisfied.
Our thanks go out to all of you who have supported us in the past 21 years. It means a great deal to us. We are looking forward to an exciting future with you and new friends.

No heart beat at 6 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy
I went to doctor office yesterday since i have been spotting for one week. I am now six weeks +3 days pregnant. The doctor did U/S on me, and she found out the baby has no heart beat and the shape of the baby isn't developing very well. She said she didn't want to confirm that i have miscarriage at this early stage, and suggested me to do a blood test yesterday and two days later. I was totally freak out and cried in front of the nurse. My bf and I were planning to marry on March before the birth of my baby. He was so upset yesterday when i told him the possibility of miscarriage. God please bless us. We really want to keep the baby.

The same thing happened to me. It's possible that you ovulated late and the baby wasnt as developed as the "calendar method" thinks you should be. I was supposed to be 6 1/2 weeks when I went to the doctor and when she did the ultrasound she said I lokoed only 5 weeks. She made me do blood tests and they all came back great. I'm not sure about the spotting situation. I only spotted for 1 day and I was told that was normal. I'm not sure if it's normal to spot for a whole week.posted 02/21/2008 by Baby#1forLisa

Changing Stations
What's wrong with tweaking the Good Friday tradition to make room for child mortality, the environment, and other global problems?
Also in Slate: Larry Hurtado investigated how early Christians wrestled with the idea of resurrection, and James Martin discovered why Easter never became as commercialized as that "Santa" holiday.
Lent is a sober season, and no Christian ritual associated with the 40-day run-up to Easter is more sobering than the Stations of the Cross. The traditional devotion, often performed on Good Friday, is a sequence of prayers and meditations that recall events on Jesus' path to crucifixion and burial. The scenes of Jesus' final tribulations are heavy with suffering, betrayal, and torture, but they also communicate the central Christian paradox of new life through death. "By your holy cross, you have redeemed the world," worshippers repeat as the service progresses from station to station.
This year in time for Lent, Episcopal Relief and Development, the relief agency of the Episcopal Church, began offering a variation on the Stations of the Cross called the Stations of the Millennium Development Goals. It features eight stations, one for each of the global priorities identified by the United Nations in 2000, from eradicating poverty to promoting gender equality. Where each of the 14 stations of the traditional Stations of the Cross represents an event leading up to Jesus' death—"Jesus is condemned to death" and "Jesus falls the first time," for example—the alternative version, promoted by Episcopal Relief and Development, shifts the focus to righting global problems. At Station 8, "Create a Global Partnership for Development," participants are reminded that a "fair trading system, increased international aid, and debt relief for developing countries will help us realize" the U.N. goals. An optional activity at Station 7, "Ensure Environmental Sustainability," asks that "pilgrims calculate their carbon footprint and come up with three strategies to reduce it."
When word of the new version spread online, the response from some liturgical traditionalists was harsh. "Raw idolatry," one commenter wrote on the Anglican blog Stand Firm. "Is there any way this is not mortal sin?" asked another at the conservative discussion site Free Republic. "It runs the risk of replacing Christ with the church, and the activity of Christ with the activity of the church," Kendall Harmon, canon theologian of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, was quoted as saying in a story on the Web site of the magazine Christianity Today. For these critics, the problem with the alternative set of stations is that it doesn't talk about the Passion. Instead of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection, they say, the Millennium Development Goals liturgy focuses on global activism.
No doubt, the Stations of the Millennium Development Goals depart from old-school worship traditions in some obvious ways. (A suggested activity for Station 4, on reducing child mortality, calls for participants to shade in drawings of children's faces, coloring-book-style.) But what the new liturgy's critics mostly failed to note was that the Stations of the Cross devotion has long been a changeable ritual. The number and nature of the stations has varied over time and across faith traditions. The devotion is usually associated with Catholicism, but some liturgically oriented Protestant congregations practice it, too, and the Anglican Book of Occasional Services features a Stations of the Cross liturgy. The menu of variations on the basic stations ritual is remarkably broad: There are children's stations, online stations, and stations performed on city streets with worshippers dressed as Jesus and Roman soldiers.
The custom grew out of pilgrimages early Christians made to the Holy Land to retrace Jesus' path to Calvary. During the 15th century, to accommodate those who could not travel to Jerusalem, European artists began creating small shrines depicting the scenes of Jesus' Passion and placing them along local procession routes so that pilgrims could stop and pray at each one. The stations didn't move inside churches until the end of the 17th century, and it was only in 1731 that Pope Clement XII set the number of stations at 14. Before then, the number of events represented by stations varied widely, from as few as seven or eight to as many as 31. Even after the number of stations was settled on officially, some worshippers kept a 15th station for Jesus' resurrection. In 1991, Pope John Paul II made his own revision, introducing an alternative version that eliminates the events not mentioned in Gospel accounts (Jesus' falls and Veronica's intervention with her veil, for example) and replaces them with others based on Scripture.
The idea of tying the stations to social activism isn't even all that novel. Via Crucis re-enactments, like the one by Catholics in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood where costumed churchgoers play the roles of Jesus and other figures in the Passion, include stops that call attention to social problems or injustices. One year, the Chicago procession stopped in front of a neighborhood tortilleria to pray for employees working in unsanitary conditions. Online, you can find homegrown Stations of the Cross devotions that stop to pray at neighborhood sites like parks or at the scenes of fatal car accidents.
But by taking Jesus' Passion out of play altogether, the Millennium Development Goals liturgy is a greater departure than any of these other alternative versions. So, what's the point of stations without the cross?

RH neg here too! Its nothing to worry about (according to my Dr) now, but something that needs to be watched if you are planning additional children. You should be getting an RH shot at 26-28 weeks, then again after delivery.

Glucose done yesterday, not near as bad as what everyone was saying! I drank the 'lemon-lime' one....just like a flat sprite! Found out this morning I passed, and also got my Rhogam shot. In the butt. It wasn't bad, though - just stung a tiny bit. She asked me if I was alright, and I told her yes I was just waiting for the burning sensation everyone was talking about. She said - "You're already done." Wahooo Easy Easy.
I'm RH negative also. I'm A- and my husband is A+, figures he'd best me even in the blood department!
I had the shot after a miscarriage, just in case, it's no biggie. No problems related to that (RH factor) with this pregnancy, but I'll definitely get any thing they recommend related to it.
By the way, i passed :-) which is excellent news on my end!!

18-month term in burglary spreeMarch 30,2013
18-month term
in burglary spree
BURLINGTON A Vermont man has been sentenced to serve 18 months in prison after admitting to nine burglaries during a five-month span in 2011.
David Verge, 33, of Essex said he broke into Burlington homes to help support a drug habit.
Verge told the court his days once revolved around finding his next fix, a cycle that continued until he sought support.
Verge had spent time in jail for convictions of similar burglaries.
His lawyer asked for 30 days in jail followed by six months of home confinement. Prosecutors sought six to 12 years.

THE United States Auto Club Thunder and Lightning Division traveled to Ocala, Fla., to run Winter Dirt Games V. A total of 34 cars rolled out of their trailers to compete for one of the 22 starting spots in the USAC sprint cars season-opening feature event.
The terrible weather in Indiana and the Midwest may well have something to do with the good car count. Competing in this event gave car owners a chance to curry favor with their wives and earn them points to be used when attending races the rest of
the season.
Feb. 20: Sizzling Bacon
Brady Bacon set the quick time in the Hoffman sprinter, followed by Chase Stockon of Elizabethtown, Bryan Clauson in the Tony Stewart Racing sprinter, C.J. Leary, Tracy Hines and Dave Darland.
Hines, Shane Cottle, Clauson and Robert Ballou won the heat races. Chris Windom won the hooligan, trailed by Matt Westfall, Carson Short, Casey Shuman, Shane Cockrum and Mitch Wissmiller.
The veterans who occupied the front row when the green flag fell to start the feature were Darland and Hines. Hines had the lead when they crossed the line for the first time; but by the time that the second lap went into the
books the lead belonged
to Darland.
Hines regained the lead on the third lap and held it as Clauson drove the Stewart sprinter past Darland to take second. However, fast qualifier Bacon was on his tail.
On Lap 9, Robert Ballou and Brady Short tangled, with both of them getting on their lids. When the race resumed following the flip, Clauson went to work on Hines in hot pursuit. Unfortunately for Clauson, he suffered a
flat right rear tire while chasing Hines.
From then, it came down to a two-car race between Bacon and Hines. With a clear track ahead, Bacon had stretched his lead to 2.593 seconds by the time the checkered flags waved. Hines came home second, trailed by Darland, Cottle, Stockon, Justin Grant, Clauson, John Stanbrough, Hunter Schuerenberg
and Windom.
Following the race, Stockon was satisfied with the team's performance. He felt that they had been competitive all night and that, with a little luck, they could have been in contention for the win.
Stockon can be proud of what he has been able to do with a team that is pretty much self-financed, with his wife serving as the crew chief.
Feb. 22: 'Out of his groove'
After the Feb. 21 show was rained out, it came down to one racing program with a $10,000 check to the winner. One team would go home with a chance of having covered their expenses. With anything less, they'll probably go home with a loss.
Cody Swanson had the fastest car in qualifications, followed by Schuerenberg in the Nolen Racing sprinter, Windom, Clauson in the Tony Stewart Racing sprinter, Cockrum and Hines.
The heat races went to Darland, Mark Smith, Cottle and Clauson, while Hines prevailed in the hooligan.
The feature event came down to a no-holds-barred battle between Clauson in the Tony Stewart Racing sprinter and Justin Grant.
Grant and Robert Ballou started on the front row, and Grant won the drag race to the line to put the first lap in the books. Clauson made quick work of getting through the competition to get into position to pass Grant for
the lead.
En route, he buzzed past Ballou to take second. About that time, Kevin Thomas put it in the fence, bringing out the race's first caution.
This set the stage for a battle between Clauson and Stockon that would be contested on every corner.
The race came down to a battle between Clauson and Grant during the closing laps. Although the race was interrupted a few more times for cautions, Clauson took the lead on Lap 23 and held it until the checkered flags waved following the 30th circuit.
From Victory Lane, Clauson commented, "(Grant) slid up a little, and I finally got a good run on him. I knew I had to force a mistake. He had a right to his position, so I had to get him out of his groove a little.
"Every time we got close, they went yellow, so I just kept putting pressure on him, hoping he would slip before the end."
While Grant wasn't happy about the near miss, Stockon was a good deal happier.
He said, "I'm happy with a third tonight. After the rain yesterday, the track was too fast to pass anybody, and position was everything."
Old-timers reunite March 15
The 16th annual Columbus Speedway — 25th Street Raceway Old Timers Reunion will be March 15 in the Community Building at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fairgrounds.

Narrow your search
Android and an awesome keyboard make the Priv the best BlackBerry in years, but if you're not a keyboard lover and aren't much of a security seeker, you'll find phones that are cheaper, or offer better features than the Priv.
The bottom line.
The BlackBerry Leap ditches a physical keyboard to lure folks looking for a modern smartphone experience, but a lack of apps and a lackluster camera keep this device behind the competition.
BlackBerry has flashed a glimpse of a mystery phone with a sliding keyboard, nicknamed "the Slider".
Pricing not available
If you're willing to trade screen size for a superior physical keyboard, the BlackBerry Classic is a fantastic productivity phone for old-school QWERTY junkies.
A thinner, lighter gaming laptop, the Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition satisfies with an excellent screen and performance and understated good looks.
The flexible TV can go from flat to curved and back at the touch of a button. First introduced as a concept last year, it will go on sale later in 2015.
Pricing not available
The BlackBerry Passport's bullish focus on productivity spawns a fantastic keyboard, but its blocky shape makes one-handed use difficult.
The bottom line.
Expected to cost under $200, the BlackBerry Z3 packs a large touch screen but no physical keyboard.

Openings & Closings: New Year's Eve Marks Farewell to Mitchelli Trattoria and Atlas Foods, Boom Noodle in the Works"/>
Last March, it had been reported that Pioneer Square's Trattoria Mitchelli (84 Yesler Way) was shutting its doors for good due to the economic downturn. Nearly a year later, it appears that owner "Papa" Danny Mitchelli (nee Mitchell) has finally set a date to lock up and retire the 32-year-old business. According to the Seattle Times, New Year's Eve will mark the last day and food and drinks will be discounted until the inventory is emptied--just be sure to stock up the wallet as it will be a cash-only deal.
Another closure on New Year's Eve will be Atlas Foods (2675 NE Village Lane) located in the busy University Village mall. Owners Peter Levy (who operates the 5 Spot, Hi-Life and Endolyne Joe's) and Jeremy Hardy (Coastal Kitchen and Mioposto) told the Seattle Times that being located in a shopping center was not a good fit for their business. Boom Noodle (sister restaurant to Blue C Sushi) plans to take over the space following the Atlas Foods auction on January 6th.
Acorn Eatery & Bar (9041 Holman Rd) has confirmed on their website that the restuarant is closed and up for sale. MyBallard blog recieved emails from concerned customers who were uncertain about the fate of the establishment.
In Capitol Hill news, a new sports bar that will not only be serving brews but also espresso plans to emerge around Union and 11th Ave. Laura Olson from Po Dog decribed that the bar will also come equipped with shuffle board tables along with 14 televisions.

in response to dazedandlostForget about a restore. How can the 3.0.1 firmware update be removed, returning the device to the 3.0.0 platform?
Lawrence Finch Aug 13, 2009 6:25 AM
in response to bmfriedmanWell, it can't be - at least not through any official means. Google is your friend.
HOWEVER, the problem is not 3.0.1 - it is the update process. If it fails or causes problems for 3.0.1 it will likely do the same restoring 3.0 also.
w7ox Aug 13, 2009 6:41 AM
in response to Lawrence FinchLawrence speaks the truth. The fault cannot be with OS 3.0.1, because many of us are using it without experiencing any change in battery performance from 3.0. Something went amiss in your updating process, so a Restore -- perhaps as a new phone -- is your best bet.
Lawrence Finch Aug 13, 2009 7:27 AM
in response to bmfriedmanIf the update failed there is no firmware on the phone, so it is essentially "removed". Unfortunately, 3.0 is removed also.
If the update completed then the only firmware on the phone is 3.0.1; if you remove it there will be nothing, not 3.0.

in response to dargo213 days old Iphone 3Gs 16Gb, and I did overnight charging to 100%. After I took off the USB cable, the battery gauge percentage drop to 98%. HOW WERID!!
Michael Napier Aug 14, 2009 7:48 AM
in response to dargo21My 3GS battery has been draining faster since the 3.0.1 update as well.
I tried turning off 3G and also turning off Bluetooth for most of the day and it's going down faster than before.
Right now I have 92% on my battery after a full night's charge and my usage is 49 minutes with 2 hours, 5 minutes standby. The usage was listening to the iPod for 20 minutes or so and 16 minutes on the phone (3G off).
I would like to try the restore but I'm pretty sure I will lose all my app save data (games, etc..). The main one is I have been dieting for about 4 months now and I'm using Lose It! to track my calories and progress. I don't want to lose all that data.
Lawrence Finch Aug 14, 2009 7:52 AM
in response to ronan_zjNot weird, but not right either. The two most likely possibilities:
1, Your battery gauge needs calibration. To fix this run the battery all the way down until it shuts off; keep going at the 20% and 10% warnings (games are good for this). Then charge with the wall charger (not a USB port) for 4 hours. If you see this again (an immediate drop after disconnecting without using the phone) then see 2.
2. You have a bad battery. It happens. Take it to an Apple store and they will replace it.
ronan_zj Aug 14, 2009 8:19 AM
in response to dargo21I dont know if my battery is good or not.
Yesterday I thought I made total 2 hours or so calling, and a little bit surfing, total standby hour is 1 Day and 7 hours, and i still had 30% battery left. However I was scared that my battery would be running out soon before noon, so I did put my USB and charged the phone through the computer. This morning, I took off the usb cable( about 6 hours charging), and the battery showed 98%, and after receiving 2 sms with 50 mins standby, 9mins usage, the battery is 97% now. I have 3G on, BT off, location service off, no pushemail.
ftruck Aug 14, 2009 7:34 PM
in response to Ryan3587my battery life dramas aren't quite so epic as some.. i lose about a percent a minute when using a 3g application such as facebook which is still a third of what it should be. with brightness dialed right down and no push notifications on...standby time is still good..and shouldn't you just be able to chuck the phone into DFU mode, connect it to itunes and cmd/shift + restore it to select the 3.0.0 firmware to downgrade?
ftruck Aug 14, 2009 7:58 PM
in response to ftruckforgot to mention i have restored as new about a thousand times...and my battery takes an epically long time to charge..like 3-4 hours to charge on ac power
Lawrence Finch Aug 15, 2009 7:43 AM
in response to ftruckIt depends a lot on signal strength. The specs say "up to" 6 hours for voice and data. That is with a strong signal. As signal strength decreases the phone increases its output power to compensate for the greater distance to the tower. Each bar lost roughly (very roughly) doubles the required transmitter power. So if you consistently have 3 bars your battery life will be about half of the maximum.
Lawrence Finch Aug 15, 2009 7:44 AM
in response to ftruck3-4 hours is what it should take to recharge from a low level of charge. It will reach 80% in the first hour, then charge more slowly to protect the battery until it reaches 100%.
StuartH Aug 15, 2009 10:38 AM
in response to Lawrence FinchI'm another new iPhone user experiencing the same battery jumping problems described since the 3.0.1 update. I took the phone on holiday prior to the update and thought it was bad enough having to charge it nightly. Since the update, the battery level drops rapidly,jumps and cuts out. Have tried restore from backup without luck and then phoned Apple who got me to restore as a new phone. Still no improvement so I'm swapping the phone on Monday.
The battery life is shocking on this device and has marred an otherwise very pleasant experience of being an iPhone owner. (Now, the only other 'vital' fix is to let the procamera app pass Apple testing so we can have a zoom feature that should have been included in the first place!)

HUH?! rather off topic. But I am very pleased that the iPhone does not have "digital zoom", which is simply a hoax. There's no such thing as digital zoom, it's really "crop on the fly under pressure"; all it really does is crop the picture at time of taking, rather than at your leisure using a photo editing program.
JLC-PV Aug 15, 2009 2:43 PM
in response to Lawrence FinchJust a few comments on these issues...
I have had several odd issues with my 3GS battery but many reminded me of my original iPhone. Lithium-polymer batteries need some initial exercise in order to get them working properly, whether an Apple product or that of anyone else. Apple products also need to see a couple of deep cycles initially to calibrate the battery management software. In time and with use, a lot of these issues simply go away and good battery life is the result.
However, I applied the 3.0.1 update while out of town on business. It took over an hour to download the installation package via a hotel's crummy service. When it installed, I noticed that it seemed to shortcut the white progress bar at about the 50% point. I thought nothing of it until I started getting bizarre battery indicator results and came here. My battery would drop to 98% immediately after taking it off charge. Then it would drain very rapidly down to 64% after 42 minutes of email and web browsing with the screen at about 45% brilliance. Way too fast. Then I could let it go to sleep, turn it on again and the indicator would be back to 90%. One day without any warning it went into a hard shutdown - just dead. When I charged it, after coming off the "don't touch me" low battery charge, it showed over 50%.
The fix was to do a complete reset. This time the 3.0.1 took a long time to install and the progress bar went all the way to 100%. Everything migrated back except emails of course. My app settings and SMS messages were fine. Since, I can leave it off charge but on all night and it will only be down to 97% in the morning and there is predictable, linear battery drain as it is used. GPS is a power hog - so don't expect great battery life when using it, but apart from that, I'm getting about the same reliable battery life I had with my original iPhone.

Sold by Hans Ohrt Beverly Hills
When I was 13 yrs old, my uncle gave me his old bike, a Griffon (best described a French road racer). It also had one of those stickers "Sold by Hans Ohrt" on it. He was very name brand oriented - Rolex, a new '56 Cadillac, Speed Graphic & Leica cameras.
It had aluminum drop bars, a three speed shifter on the top tube, toe cages on the pedals, and what we then referred to as 27" wheels. No kid in the neighborhood could beat that bike. (I was 6' tall by then, which might have given me a bit of advantage, too.)
Also, wife really likes those 20's. Don't think she'd mind if I bought one for her.
Had to mention to her that a Raleigh 20 would NOT ride like her Pocket Crusoe does.

like I tell those on the US politics forum when they blame Bush & the Republicans I tell them I blame the Democrats too for not offering better choices other than just Gore & Kerry and gave no better choice but Bush. Speaking of the housing crisis in April 2001 that is when the Bush Administration first red flagged Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about trouble with the GSE but then was advocating for affordable housing in May 2002.
Home Ownership and President Bush
and then in October 2002 G.W. Bush gave another speech saying "we want everybody in America to own their own home. That's what we want."
George Bush: we want everybody in America to own their own home. That's what we want.
and all G.W. Bush did was continue on with the Clinton home ownership policy.
and then speaking of Social Security Reform in chapter 11 of the book the main reason why Social Security reformed died was because of the option of allowing individuals to Privatize their Social Security Taxes and the foreseen biggest problem by the Federal Government was the lost tax revenue that the Federal Government would lose since the tax money would be no longer collected by the US Treasury which was the main reason that Social Security privatization died and besides the Federal Government was trying collect as much tax revenue as Federal Government could get its hands on because the Federal Deficit that was growing under Bush.
#17372 Jan 21, 2013
Absolutely incorrect. The reason it died was because of scare tactics by the Democrats. Think about it: Bush said his plan would allow only 1 to 3% of your SS contributions to go into a private fund. That would drain SS so that nobody could get it???? Plus it was optional.
The larger point is that politicians (both left and right) do whatever it takes to please the people even if it leads to our demise. A more educated public would prevent that. But the problem is that more Americans know more about their favorite American Idol than they do their Congressman, Senator or President. So politicians do whatever it takes to keep themselves or party in power.
It's like the Wal-Mart debate. Wal-Mart only gives people what they want. That's why they are number one in the country. Same holds true with politicians. They give people what they want. Screw the ramifications of their decisions.
GW and the Republicans found themselves in a disadvantage of public opinion. If you can't beat them--join them.

no thats the real reason Bruce Bartlett explains because its lost revenue for the current entitlement society and if you allow the ones currently paying Social Security taxes and let them take their money and privatize their Social Security tax money the Recipents currently on the entitlement system are done because Social Security is based on a Ponzi Scheme which I think it needs to end because of SCOTUS case of Flemming vs Nestor stating that there is no Property right regardless of an individuals contribution since it is based on a tax as stated the SCOTUS case of Helvering v. Davis(1937) the Social Security tax is treated as any other tax there for is not earmarked.

Setting the Record Straight: Six Years of Unheeded Warnings for GSE Reform Starting in April 2001.
April: The Administration's FY02 budget declares that the size of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is "a potential problem," because "financial trouble of a large GSE could cause strong repercussions in financial markets, affecting Federally insured entities and economic activity." (2002 Budget Analytic Perspectives, pg. 142)

#17376 Jan 21, 2013
Again, an example of OUR reps under performing.The biggest problem is that BOTH parties tapped the SS fund by 'borrowing' from it.
Social Security would still be totally viable IF the I.O.U.'s didn't exist for money "borrowed" from it. S.S. is NOT an entitlement program since specific payroll taxes were deducted for it & then were stolen to balance the federal budget at times. Which the senate has not even brought to a up or down vote since April 2009 which the president & OUR so called representatives are OBLIGATED to do EVERY year. I would love an explaination on that one. It seems like impeachment qualifications due to malfeasance to me for Harry Reid & others since he has tabled EVERY bill that came out of Congress including a democratic congress in 2009 & 2010 & then 2011 & 2012.
There is some clearly illegal activity or lack of activity there. Why has the media & or the public NOT been on the top of this issue? Again, politicians wonder why they have low public respect. Perfectly an example of political B.S.

if you look back at the census records when Social Security was first implemented it wasnt designed to pay because people back then their life expectancy was never passed 65 for the majority but Both parties have used Social Security as a slush fund as did FDR and yes Social Security is an entitlement because its designed to pay out more than what people paid in and its adminstered by the Federal Government besides its not individuals money since there is no property rights to Social Security tax money its the Federal Government Money to do what they want with it since its based & formulated as a tax as stated in the SCOTUS case of Flemming vs Nestor(1960). below is an example why Social Security is in trouble and shows how its based on a ponzi scheme.
Ida May Fuller had collected $22,888.92 from Social Security monthly benefits, compared to her contributions of $24.75 to the system.

I figured you would agree that the tax code is the problem. Look at the cliff deal, obama promised to make the "rich" pay their fair share and close corporate tax loopholes. What happened? He eagerly signed a deal that did not raise corporate taxes at all, or close any loopholes. In fact it opened new corporate tax loopholes.

all the unproductive govt spending helps cause the inflation too. That's why I can't take obama supporters who didn't vote for bush twice as being honest with themselves. How is obamas spending better than bushes? What? Bush didn't raise taxes? Oh. Did obama raise them enough?

Yeap, Nixon sure did use Executive Order to create the EPA.
The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order.

as long as the economy stays where its at and nobody has money to buy you wont see inflation because there is no demand and what the government wants which already was proven during the Truman adminstration.
#17389 Jan 22, 2013
The problem with that is we have the highest base rate for corporate taxes in the world. Loopholes were created so that politicians could pick the winners and the losers. I can't tell you how many times I've heard politicians or potential politicians say they were going to close loopholes or simplify the tax system.
But for the sake of discussion, let's say that everybody got together and closed the loopholes and made corporate tax a flat rate. That means most all taxes would increase on corporations. How do you think those corporations would respond? They would just pay more money?
Every action causes a reaction. We've seen it with DumBama's polices his first term and we will see even more during his second. In fact, business leaders are already planning for Commie Care. Many said they will reduce their full time work force because the law doesn't apply to part-time workers, and other say they will outsource work. After all, if you make widgets for a living and sell those widgets for ten bucks a piece, Obama Care would force you to sell those same widgets for $14.00 a piece. If you outsource much of that work, it will still dig into your profit, so you would be able to sell those widgets for $12.00 a piece because outsourcing would be cheaper than getting involved with Commie Care.

Volatility and Predictability in National Stock Markets: How Do Emerging and Mature Markets Differ?
This paper examines the volatility and predictability of emerging stock markets. A range of measures suggests that, despite perceptions to the contrary, the volatility of emerging markets may have fallen rather than risen on average. Also, although the autocorrelations in emerging market returns appear to turn negative at horizons of a year or more, the magnitude of these return reversals is not that much larger than reversals in some mature markets. One interpretation of the results would be that emerging markets have not consistently been subject to fads or bubbles, or at least no more so than in some industrial countries.
