Crazy News Quiz for Monday, Nov. 2 (you know you're getting dumped when...)
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Nov 2 2009 2:36PM
Q- According to a nationally known relationship expert, if a girl buys this, you can bet she is about to dump her man. What is it?
A - A new cell phone or pager.
There are actually 6 major signs you are about to be dumped, according to Lisa Dailey, syndicated dating columnist. Here's the list from one of her recent articles.
6 Signs You Might Be Heading for a Breakup:
1. She's no longer interested in sex, or worse, she's recently learned some new tricks
A dramatic change in sexual behavior can mean two things: Either your sweetie is trying to avoid any situation where she might have to express emotion or attachment to you, or she's getting it somewhere else. Old dogs only learn new tricks if someone is teaching them.
2. Picking Stupid Fights
If he's picking silly fights, or there's an unusual increase in emotional distance, you've got bad news. If your guy or girl is picking stupid fights all the time, they may be trying to get you to make the first move.
3. He/she says, "I need some space" or "I think we should see other people."
By telling you he wants to see other people, he's not technically breaking up with you (so no big crying scene to endure) but he's given himself a way out. Of course, the second he gets a little distance, he's going to make a run for it.
4. She gives you that little pat on the back.
Watch out for this one. A person who gives you a hug while patting you on the back is indicating that they are uncomfortable with what they're doing. The bigger the pat, the more discomfort they feel. Could be the kiss in front of Aunt Mildred. Could be garlic breath. Could be you.
5. She buys a pre-paid cell phone or pager.
This is a really bad sign. Private investigators everywhere will tell you the pager purchase is a sign of impending heartbreak. Sure, it could be for work, but more likely, she's using it to get a head start on her post-you life.
6. He used to be a blue jeans kind of guy, and suddenly he's obsessed with Armani.
A person who is about to leave (or is cheating) will take greater care with his or appearance - updating his wardrobe, losing weight, working out and even changing cologne.

About this font family
Messenger is a redux of two mid-1970s Markus Low designs: Markus Roman, an upright calligraphic face, and Ingrid, a popular typositor-era script. Through the original film faces were a couple of years apart and carried different names, they essentially had the same kind of Roman/Italic relationship two members of the same typeface family would have. The forms of both faces were reworked and updated to fit in the Ingrid mold, which is the truer-to-calligraphy one. More…

"Sounds like Negus Webster-Chan may commit to Iowa State soon. UL fans still ****** he decommitted?" - Nick Coffey @TheCardConnect
Would be GREAT news! If anything, this would also light a fire under the current players - practice hard, play well, and stay out of trouble or else we already have your spot filled.
Plus NWC just sounds like a great player who already has a friend on the team (helps with adjustments).
Did Dorsey-Walker commit because of this since he wanted the last scholly? Could be a motivator.
Doubt it. Evan Daniels tweeted that we were favorites for NWC. He likely didn't know we were full. I'm guessing this guy just ran with that tweet, and is completely wrong.

Fred Hoiberg is doing a great job. Has picked up a handful of JUCO/transfers. Now Dorsey-Walker. May be leader for Negus Webster-Chan.

We don't but we oversigned last year and we would apparently take Webster-Chan if he committed. You just have to expect attrition ala McKnight and Godfrey, and McDermotts Juco last winter break.
My first post was before I read the commitment thread which clears things up a bit.

They can still sign him but somebody else will eventually leave the team if this is the case because of playing time.
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
Twitter is never wrong.
If rather not over sign and give kids a nudge out the door.

Haha. Especially the kid who runs cardconnect.com and his unnamed sources.
It could be true, but seriously folks - it's a rumor so far.

Same here unless you know a kid has a foot out the door ala Mcknight.
These kids won't be on campus until 2012 remember, there is no chance the entire team is in tact in after an entire season plus an offseason.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Trainers in stock than that.View Similar Products
CycleOps 410 Pro Indoor Cycle with Virtual Training $0.00
No one said that replicating a quality outdoor ride was easy. However, innovation rarely emanates from simplicity. But, through a few key technological developments, CycleOps has turned the world of indoor training on its head. New to the Pro series, the 410 Pro Indoor Cycle comes equipped with the revolutionary Virtual Training software. Now, by matching resistance to actual GPS ride data, the doldrums of winter training are a thing of the past.
The 410 Pro Indoor Cycle comes with the CycleOps Joule 3.0 cycling computer as standard equipment, along with a PowerTap power meter in the rear flywheel. With the power readings, you'll get accurate digital feedback to know exactly what your effort is, not just what it feels like. The Joule 3.0 uses ANT+ technology to communicate wirelessly to the PowerTap hub. And if you choose to use the Joule 3.0 on your bike outdoors, it will also communicate with any other ANT+ powermeter and/or cadence and speed sensors. However, riding your bike with the Joule and no powermeter will still enable you to track every detail of your ride, save for the power data. Please Note: This particular PowerTap in the rear flywheel operates on a narrow portion of the frequency range within the full breadth of ANT+. This means that, even though the Joule 3.0 is easily used to detect other powermeters, you may or may not be able to substitute another ANT+ CPU to read your power data on the 410 Pro Indoor Cycle.
With the Joule, though, you can track a variety of information as you ride. In real time, you'll view your power in watts and w/kg and see your current, average, and max. For interval training, you'll find the power zone, average power zone, and max power zones to be effective data gathering. For peak power, you can view data in five second, five minute, and twenty minute increments. You'll also gain access to WKO+ metrics like training stress score, normalized power, and intensity factor. Work is measured in kilojoules and kilojoules per hour for the power minded, and also in calories for the days where you just want a rewarding workout. Other useful readings include your current, average, and max cadence and heart rate. As for climbing, you can view your current gradient and current altitude and how long and high your total ascent has been. And of course, Joule displays the time of day, your distance, and how long you've been in the saddle. Another great feature is the ability to store a good bit of data on the Joule 3.0 CPU before having to download it to your computer. On a personal note, we've saved up to 20 rides before doing a data dump. And to make life easier, the CPU accepts a Micro SD card to expand the storage capacity.
The 410 Pro also features CycleOps' Controlled Resistance Technology. So, you can conduct the resistance per a custom or saved ride in the Joule 3.0. Also, if you use the downloadable Power Agent Software, you'll be able to generate a variety of detailed reports of your workouts to analyze and track your progress. And while the computer technology is fantastic, if there's one reason why we love Cycleops' indoor bikes so much, it's that the 48lb flywheel simulates the momentum you'd develop at speed on the road. Basically, it's the most road-like feel that you can get indoors. And yes, you can freewheel any time that you feel like a break. This real-world ride quality is even further complemented by the 410's four points of adjustability which make replicating your custom geometry a painless affair.
Additionally, for the first time, the 410 Pro includes CycleOps' revolutionary Virtual Training software. This enables you to select from a huge database of rides, or you can set your own ride with either your or Virtual Trainer's GPS data. Once your ride is selected, you simply download the ride data to your ANT+ stick, select training or race mode, and then the trainer's resistance levels will adjust for the virtual road's gradient and difficulty. On top of this, you can view your route on your computer's display. And when your ride is completed, your data will be stored on your own Virtual Training profile for review or for comparison against others. Basically, the software is simple to use, and takes away much of the inevitable boredom that stems from the hours of staring at a wall while in the saddle
Please Note: Due to the size and weight of the package, a CycleOps Indoor Cycle is shipped via freight carrier only and is limited to the contiguous U.S.

Aaron Eckhart And Miles Teller Head To The Ring For Vinny Pazienza Biopic Bleed For This
By Nick Venable 2014-02-03 12:47:57 comments
Boy, it sure is great to be in the month of February, where movies like I, Frankenstein and That Awkward Moment are a part of our past. Granted, its a very recent past, as both films are currently still in theaters, but were grateful nonetheless. Stars from both of those movies will soon come together to create what will hopefully be a late fall release, as Aaron Eckhart and Miles Teller are attached to join Bleed for This, a boxing biopic that Martin Scorsese will oversee as executive producer. Thats a good thing, right?
Bleed for This will follow the tumultuous life of world champ Vinny Pazienza, with Teller inexplicably taking on the lead role. The way THR explains it, the film will focus on the Pazmanian Devils 1991 car accident that nearly killed him and his career, as well as his somewhat miraculous return to the ring only a year later. He wasnt supposed to walk again, but a heavy gym regimen and help from his legendary trailer Kevin Rooney (Eckhart) allowed him to continue a career that would last another twelve years.
This will be the third feature for director Ben Younger, who also penned the screenplay. His previous films include 2005s romantic drama Prime and 2000s Boiler Room, which was based on the life of Jordan Belfort (who also served as the subject of Scorseses The Wolf of Wall Street).
While I have no strong feelings for or against Eckhart playing Rooney, Im a little bothered by Teller playing Pazienza. Hes mostly known for his comedic work, and even if his recent Sundance hit Whiplash gives him more dramatic weight as an actor, it still doesnt mean hell exude the Italian machismo that Pazienza so effortlessly put forth. Im willing to be blown away by surprise, though.
Interestingly enough, two of Pazienzas more memorable fights include defeating an older Roberto Duran, who is getting his own biopic with Jonathan Jakubowiczs Hands of Stone, with Édgar Ramírez as Duran. It would be pretty amazing if these films met at a crossroads that linked them together.
Teller, who gained acclaim with last years The Spectacular Now, will soon become omnipresent as the Divergent series enters our lives, along with the comedies Two Night Stand, involving an unwanted second date as dictated by a snowstorm, and the long delayed, R-rated Get a Job, which follows college kids seeking employment. Eckhart, meanwhile, has Incarnate, the first thriller from Journey 2 director Brad Peyton, and the upcoming thriller Fadeout expected to hit in the next year or so.
All this talk about boxing has gotten you in the mood to see a classic fight, am I wrong? While its too bad we cant watch I, Frankenstein and That Awkward Moment come to blows, below you can watch Pazienza taking on Roy Jones, Jr. in their classic 1995 bout. No spoilers, but the fourth round is a boxing anomaly.

gregA said:"As some have already noted, one of the cooler things in ZCS 5.0 is 15 languages are pre-installed. (A benefit of joining Yahoo! is access to a global team very experienced with translation and QA).
The languages shipping so far are: Chinese (simplified and traditional), Danish, English (UK, AU, US), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The Zimbra Web clients, server messages as well as the Outlook Connector and Import Wizard have been translated. In the future we will be adding more languages and hope to get up to 40."
but when i install ZCS 5.0 FOSS,i can not find any files about simplified chinese in jetty directory.

Cardwell and Puccio Win Di'Namik Comp
On Thursday, January 23, a stacked field of elite boulderers battled for over 3,000 dollars in cash prizes in a comp that coincided with the winter Outdoor Retailer Show. Adidas Outdoor, with support from The North Face, V Line, and Red Rock Brewing, presented the Di'namik 2014 Bouldering Championships at The Front Climbing Club in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Daniel Woods, Jimmy Webb, Carlo Traversi, Angie Payne, Nina Williams, Alex Puccio and hard climbers from across the nation climbed in a Professional Climbers Association style comp, where raw adrenaline and an electrifying venue came together to capture the excitement of competitive climbing.
"The problems will be a lot more dynamic and have an element of a circus trick to them," said Mike Bockino, a USA Climbing recognized setter and head setter at the Front in a pre-comp interview.
Part of this stemmed from the world class list of competitors.
"If you give them hard problems they'll just flash them," said Bockino, who set for a similar crowd at the recent Portland Boulder Rally. "It's more about making the sequences tricky and hard to figure out."
This strategy separated the elite crowd. The second Men's problem, which involved a series of wild presses on volumes, weeded out the favorite Daniel Woods. Cardwell, who took first, displayed consistent climbing on all of the problems. Cardwell matched the first problem's high point with Woods and Salt Lake City local Nathaniel Coleman and then reached the high point of the technical second problem. Traversi placed second and Jimmy Webb came in third.
"It feels like a bouldering session," said Cardwell in isolation, where climbers stretched and stayed warm between burns.
In the women's category, Alex Puccio destroyed the climbs with her powerful style, flashing all three of the final round's problems for a first place win. Angie Payne utilized solid technique to top out the third problem and secure second place. Nina Williams locked off and reached for the finishing hold on the first Women's problem. The crowd exploded. She strained her fingers, pushing her body tight against the wall. But just an inch away, Williams fell.
"The vibe was good," said Williams, who secured third with her nail-biting performance.
Two DJs rocked the gym, which was packed with two hundred comp climbers and four hundred local and traveling spectators in Salt Lake for the Outdoor Retailer show.
Last summer's Psicobloc comp in Park City, Utah, set a strong precedent for the winter OR show comp. Di'Namik pulled together a climber's oriented competition with a strong display of powerful, exciting, spectator friendly climbing and a rad atmosphere.

Redirected from Palm-reading
this wiki
- "Don't complain, this means we've finished palmistry. I was getting sick of her flinching every time she looked at my hands."
- —Harry Potter.[src]
Palmistry (also known as Chiromancy, Cheiromancy, Palm-reading, or Chirology) is the art of predicting events in the future through the study of the palm. It involves the studying and interpretation of one's palm lines.
Palmistry is taught to the third-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter and other students in his year learned from Professor Trelawney in 1993. It was taught in Divination, where, as always, Harry was sick of his teacher predicting his death.
In 1996, Harry sat his Divination OWL, which involved palmistry as its last part. As with the rest of his Divination exam, this part went very badly; he mixed up the life and head lines in his examinator's hand, thereby informing her that she ought to have died the previous Tuesday.
Palm lines
- The terms "Chiromancy" and "cheiromancy" derive from Greek cheir (χειρ), "hand" and manteia (μαντεία), "divination"
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

|Defensive Coordinator, Linebackers Coach
Tim Cooper joined the Butler football staff an assistant football coach in March, 2010. He serves as a Defensive Coordinator, while working directly with Butler's linebackers.
Cooper has been part of the coaching staff during one of the best runs in Butler football history. In 2013, he helped to guide the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record, a share of the Pioneer Football League crown and Butler's first appearance in the NCAA Division I Football Championship in 2013. It was Butler's fourth title as a Division I football program.
Cooper was the defensive secondary coach at Miami (Ohio), 2004-2008, helping the RedHawks to three Mid-American Conference East championship. He previously had served as defensive secondary and linebackers coach at Carroll, 2001-2003, where he worked under current Butler head coach Jeff Voris. Most recently, Cooper served as defensive quality control-secondary at Indiana University.
Cooper began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at DePauw University in 1997. He accepted a position assisting with the secondary at the University of Rhode Island in 1999 and then took a graduate assistant position at the University of Connecticut in 2000. Cooper also served one season as a graduate assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) in 2003, helping the RedHawks to a 13-1 record, a Mid-American Conference championship, a berth in the GMAC Bowl and a #10 national ranking.

Bracket Big Block EngineWritten by on September 24, 2012 Long stroke short-block
Building a powerful big-block is easier than ever these days, and it's not difficult to make reliable power from the big-block Mopar if you pick the correct combination of parts. But with so many parts available for the Wedge engine, it's often difficult to decide which pieces are right for your application. And while many of us choose to purchase all of our parts new and build the engine ourselves, there is also something to be said for purchasing an engine that someone else might not have had much luck with, make a few changes, and end up with a reliable, powerful engine for an economical price.
This was the case with a 500-cubic-inch Mopar wedge engine that Jim Freed purchased from another local enthusiast. It seemed the engine just wasn't what the original owner needed, so Jim purchased it for a reasonable price and made the good decision to have it checked over at Auto Performance Engines before he installed it in his '72 'Cuda bracket car. With Indy 440-1 CNC ported cylinder heads and a stout solid roller camshaft, Jim also made the good decision to upgrade to a new Mopar Performance Siamese bore block. With the parts selected, we headed over to the shop to follow the teardown and rebuild. This month we'll feature the short-block, and in a future issue we'll assemble the top end and test the big-block on the engine dyno.
As with anything you purchase second-hand, you really never know the condition until you inspect the item closely. In the case of a race engine, this involves tearing the engine completely down to inspect all of the individual pieces before re-assembly with new parts where needed. Upon removing the cylinder heads from this big-block, it was apparent that one of the pistons had been coming much closer to the combustion chamber than the others, which definitely indicated a problem. Further teardown of the bottom end revealed that the number three connecting rod bearing was damaged to the point of being nonexistent, allowing the rod and piston to move closer to the head at the top of the stroke.
Fortunately, the connecting rod, rod bolts, and rod cap hadn't broken, which could have damaged the engine much more severely. Even so, the connecting rod and crankshaft would need to be repaired or replaced, which brought us to a dilemma. We could check and resize the connecting rod and replace the rod bolts, but we'd be taking a chance that the reconditioned rod wouldn't be able to survive the forces applied by a Mopar race engine. Additionally, the crankshaft would require repair, which could be accomplished by regrinding it. In our experience, however, the economically priced crankshafts like this one have very shallow heat treating, so grinding the journals even .010-inch can compromise the hardness of the crankshaft and require it to be re-heat treated.
With these factors and their related expense in mind, Kevin recommended a new rotating assembly for this engine as the best option, both economically and for restoring its performance. He also recommended that since we were replacing the rotating assembly anyway, we may as well upgrade the engine with a 4.5-inch stroke Scat forged crankshaft, Scat 7.100 length H-beam connecting rods, and Mahle forged pistons. Jim also wanted the engine to last, so we opted for flat-top pistons to keep the compression at a reasonable 12.4:1 level, and only bored the cylinders to 4.350 inches, leaving plenty of room for future rebuilds. This 535-cubic-inch engine will still require racing gasoline, but without the extreme cylinder pressures associated with higher than 13:1 compression ratios, the engine should be very durable, lasting many passes down the dragstrip before needing to be freshened up.
The oil system is also a very important part of an engine's performance and durability, especially in a racing application. This engine was already equipped with a single-line Milodon external oil system and fabricated aluminum oil pan, but we decided to upgrade to a dual-line system. The Mopar Performance block has the provision for an external oil pickup line already in the block, so combined with a Milodon dual-line oil pickup and new Melling oil pump, this oil system will be capable of supplying adequate oil upwards of 7,500 rpm.
No matter how good the quality of the parts are, the engine won't perform properly or last very long unless the machining processes are performed accurately. Auto Performance Engines (APE) performed the necessary machine work to the block, including boring and honing with torque plates, checking bore alignment of the main journals, and decking the block to achieve the target compression ratio.
Even with new parts like our Scat crank and rods, bearing clearances need to be rechecked during the assembly phase of an engine build. The owner opted to re-use his Crane solid roller camshaft, and APE installed the cam six degrees retarded to ensure peak power will be attained at a reasonable 7,000 rpm. This is a big camshaft, with more than 280 degrees duration at .050-inch lift and .750-inch or so valve lift with the 1.6 ratio rockers. While this cam is designed to make peak power at 8,000 or more rpm, advancing the cam timing will move the peak power rpm lower.
Be sure to stay tuned, because we'll show you the top end of this engine in a future issue. Of course, we'll dyno the 535-cubic-inch big-block as well and give you all the results of our testing.

We're building a 535-inch big-block bracket engine, and this month we'll show you which parts we chose for the short-block. Don't worry, though. We'll finish the build and share the dyno results in an upcoming issue.01 This engine came in to APE as a 500 cubic inch big-block, with a badly spun rod bearing and damaged crankshaft. Instead of salvaging the damaged parts, the owner decided to have APE install a new rotating assembly with a longer, 4.5-inch stroke.02 To replace the stock 440 block, APE performed all the necessary machine work on a Mopar Performance Siamese bore block. The Mopar block features cross-bolted main bearings, an improved lifter valley, and has a provision for a second external oil supply line right in the block.03 Even new parts need to be checked and the clearances adjusted when necessary. This is an added advantage of having a professional shop not only order the correct parts to begin with, but to assemble the engine as well.04 Any engine can benefit from boring and honing the cylinders with a torque plate installed. The plate simulates the cylinder head being installed, which will distort the cylinder wall. By using a plate, the bore distortion can be removed from the cylinder during the process, and ensure a near-perfect bore when assembled.05 Kevin chose Mahle forged pistons, in part because they allowed him to utilize metric size piston rings. Measuring 1.5 mm, 1.5 mm, and 3 mm, these rings are narrower than the standard 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 rings utilized by the big-block Mopar. These rings reduce internal friction, equating to more horsepower and torque. The piston rings are file fitted for proper end gap.06 Once all of the parts are deemed ready for final installation, the rotating assembly, including the piston rings, can be weighed and balanced. Beware of pre-balanced kits as they may not compensate for material lost when filing piston rings or chamfering bolt holes and de-burring the rods and pistons.07 This engine is utilizing a stout solid roller camshaft from Crane Cams. Since this is a bracket engine and durability is a big consideration, APE retarded the cam timing by six degrees. While this choice will certainly compromise peak power numbers, it will also ensure the engine makes peak power at or below 7,000 rpm.08 This engine previously used a fabricated aluminum oil pan from Charlie's, so we cleaned and straightened the pan rails so it could be reused. We added a Milodon dual-line swivel oil pickup and an additional oil feed line to supply the Melling high-volume oil pump. This engine will oil the Jesel rockers through the lifters and pushrods, which can cause low oil pressure at idle, but this oil system will provide plenty of oil volume and pressure at high rpm where it counts.
09 We buttoned up our short-block with an Indy cast-aluminum timing cover and Professional Products SFI-approved balancer. This timing cover works great with roller camshafts as it won't flex when the cam button engages the cover like a sheetmetal timing cover will. Sanctioning bodies require the SFI dampener, and the Professional Products piece is great for the money.10 We still have a lot of parts left after assembling our short-block. Be sure to follow this build in future issues as we assemble and install the heads, rockers, and intake, then bolt this engine to APE's Superflow dyno.

Rewards programs getting stingier than ever
Don't Waste Your Money
More and more businesses are offering reward points these days. Unfortunately, many of these new reward programs are barely worth the hassle.
And even the good ones, like airline miles, are becoming a shadow of what they used to be.
Where are the 25,000 mile free flights?
Remember when you could earn 25,000 airline miles, usually through a credit card, and get a free ticket anywhere in the us?
Those days are long gone.
Most travelers know it's almost impossible to find a basic 25,000 mile free seat anymore.
Typically you have to spend 35,000 for a free domestic flight, and a flight to a popular vacation spot (I'm looking at you, Vegas) can be 50,000 miles.
And now for 2014, Delta and United and have just made it tougher for bargain hunting travelers to earn miles, rewarding them for money spent, not actual miles flown.
This benefits business travelers whose companies pay full fare, but hurts the bargain hunting vacationer looking for that $250 roundtrip flight.
Not Just Airlines
And from the "doesn't that stink" file, other stingy rewards programs.
The Sears Shop Your Way rewards program? The website "Consumerist" calls it "not very rewarding."
Verizon's Smart Rewards? National consumer guru Bob Sullivan says you have to use your points to bid on items. He claims it's very hard to win anything, reminiscent of those penny auction websites, circa 2010.
You might give up and say "doesn't that stink?"
Credit cards, debit cards, banks, airlines.... all have gotten stingier.
Bottom line: Rewards are great if it's a business you use a lot, and they don't cost you anything.
But if they force you into making extra purchases, or choosing a more expensive travel option, then it may be a case of don't waste your money.

The end of the beginning
Healthcare | The narrow, highly partisan passage of a massive healthcare overhaul gives life to a movement to 'repeal and replace' the law, but it is a process that would take years
WASHINGTON-After a long March 21 afternoon beneath the House side of the U.S. Capitol, thousands of frustrated demonstrators began to disperse. They seemed to sense that their nearly year-long effort to defeat the healthcare overhaul had begun to wilt under Washington's spring sun.
But a few lingered long enough to try a final silent protest. In a human formation they merged to spell a simple but desperate message to the lawmakers inside: "No."
A few hours later, lawmakers ignored that plea and approved a healthcare bill that ushers in what President Barack Obama later called a "new season in America."
That Sunday began with the House voting to name some post office after someone named Clarence D. Lumpkin and ended some 11 hours later with a vote recognizing the Battle of Iwo Jima's 65th anniversary.
But sandwiched in-between those votes, 219 representatives, all Democrats, voted to remake one-sixth of the U.S. economy. And when, less than 48 hours later, Obama signed into law the almost $1 trillion healthcare measure, his signature brought greater government intrusion into the lives of Americans.
Before Sunday's historic vote, Democrats tried to connect their healthcare push to the Civil Rights movement, walking linked arm in arm from the House office complex to the Capitol.
"We are doing this for the American people," proclaimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "You're doing this TO the American people," a protestor answered.
Democrats may have dismissed the human "no" spelled out on the Capitol lawn on their march to pass one of the most sweeping social legislations in the nation's history. But the new law seems to mark just the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end in the healthcare war-only seven minutes after Obama signed the healthcare bill into law, attorneys general from 13 states sued the federal government. They declared that Washington has overreached by forcing citizens, for the first time in the nation's history, to buy a particular product.
"The Constitution nowhere authorizes the United States to mandate, either directly or under threat of penalty, that all citizens and legal residents have qualifying healthcare coverage," the lawsuit states, referring to a provision in the new law requiring Americans to carry health insurance or pay a fine. A 14th state, Virginia, filed its own lawsuit.
"I think the Constitution is being walked on at this moment, and many in the Congress right now don't care," Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said on C-SPAN. He added that if this new mandate is upheld, then there might be no limit to what the federal government can regulate.
The lawsuits claim the healthcare law violates the Constitution's 10th Amendment, which gives states powers not explicitly bestowed to the federal government. While the Constitution gives the federal government the power to regulate interstate commerce, opponents of the new law argue that a person who decides not to buy something is not engaging in commerce.
"It seems like we have two Constitutions, Madison and Jefferson's and Obama and Biden's," Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center think tank, told me. He said James Madison intended federal powers to be few and defined.
The lawsuits' prospects? "I don't have much trust in the people who act like deities in black robes," worries Boldin. But the attorneys general are vowing to take their lawsuits all the way to the Supreme Court. It's a battle that will likely take years, and may not be decided before the mandates take effect in 2014.
Not waiting for the lengthy court process, Virginia and Idaho have already opened up another front in what is now becoming a states-rights battle: Both have passed legislation to block mandates in the law. The Virginia law, which passed its Democratic-controlled Senate, says no resident can be forced to purchase coverage or to pay a penalty for not purchasing insurance. Arizona voters face a ballot measure in November asking voters to declare the state exempt from the law's requirements. Similar ballot pushes are underway in Florida, Michigan, and Colorado. In total, 36 state legislators have introduced measures to limit or oppose the new federal healthcare law.
State leaders are fearful that they won't be able to afford the new law: Florida predicts that 1.3 million people will be added to its Medicaid lists at a cost of an additional $1 billion a year by 2019. "I think this is really on thin ice," Rhode Island Gov. Donald Carcieri, a Republican, told Fox News. "States are getting fed up. We weren't even at the table in any of these discussions."
Even a Democratic governor, Tennessee's Phil Bredesen, worries that his state will not be able to pay the estimated $1.1 billion five-year bill to do what the new law requires. "These are hard dollars and make the management of our finances post-recession even more daunting," Bredesen wrote in a letter to his Tennessee congressional delegation.
The Tenth Amendment Center's Boldin sees greater hope in the state law approach. The federal government has delayed three times since its 2005 enactment the implementation of another mandate, the REAL ID Act that imposes federal standards on state drivers licenses, because so many states simply have refused to comply.
While states gear up their responses, current and hopeful congressional Republicans have unleashed their own post-healthcare rallying cry: repeal.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., has already unveiled legislation to repeal the law. A dozen other Republican senators joined DeMint as co-sponsors on the bill's first day. "This fight isn't over yet," said DeMint.
But it didn't take long for Republicans to tweak that message. Fearing that they would continue to be branded as "the party of no," GOP lawmakers, who also acknowledge that healthcare needs fixing, are now calling for a "repeal and replace" strategy. Some are also talking up "reveal"-wanting more Americans to know what's in the legislation.
To succeed at anything, Republicans will need more bodies in Congress. That is why dozens of GOP challengers across the nation wasted no time going on the offensive after the overhaul passed.
"I promise the very first act I will take as a congressman will be to repeal this trillion-dollar, job-killing, healthcare damaging legislation," Republican Rob Russo, seeking to unseat freshman Democratic Rep. Jim Himes in Connecticut's 4th District, announced in a press release hours after the House vote. Candidates from states including Kansas, Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Idaho and Florida made similar pledges.
"This fall's elections will be a referendum on Obamacare," the Heritage Foundation's Brian Darling told me.
But even if Republicans manage to take back majorities in both the House and Senate-no small task-any repeal legislation would face an Obama veto. That is why Darling says Republicans in Congress would work to delay its implementation by defunding key elements of the healthcare program in must-pass appropriation bills.
"If Republicans control Congress, they control the power of the purse," Darling said.
Obama seems to sense this: He took to the road on March 25, stopping in Iowa City for an unusual pep rally for a bill that has already become law. Expect more such trips. As Democrats try to sell the changes, Republicans feel they have an advantage in the public-relations battle because most of the law's entitlements don't kick in for a few years while most of its new taxes start sooner.
Overhaul advocates have already launched a $5 million ad campaign to promote the new law in 40 congressional districts where Democrats are vulnerable. This blitz took a hit late in the week as the nation learned that top Hill staffers, many of whom sit on the very committees that wrote the bill, are exempt from the new government-run insurance exchanges it creates. Expect additional backlash as more of the 2,309-page bill is decoded.
As lawmakers gathered in the White House's East Room for the ceremony signing the measure into law, they serenaded Obama with chants of "fired up" and "ready to go." But those same chants could be attributed to conservative groups and lawmakers who are not willing to wave the healthcare white flag. Obama said the law puts a "new wind at our backs because we know it's still possible to do big things in America."
But those very words, "big things," are what has many conservatives fearful of increased government regulatory overreach in environment, energy, education, and financial reform.
That is why the overhaul's passage has at least one silver lining for Republicans: It firms up what has been a somewhat tenuous relationship with the growing Tea Party movement. Media accounts have been quick to write off the movement after it lost on healthcare. Even though the U.S. Capitol police made no arrests that day, words like hideous, clowns, and disgraceful were used by liberals to depict the Sunday protests leading up to the House's climactic vote.
But Mark Meckler, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, said the healthcare defeat has energized, not deflated the movement. New members of his group have been signing up online at a rate of 1,000 an hour since the bill became law.
"They have been trying to force our premature obituary since February of last year," Meckler told me. "Tell me how that is working out for them in New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts."
Americans on both sides of the healthcare debate will not forget this vote. It is a defining moment for the president, the Congress, and the country. Indeed, the political landscape has changed: This is a tipping-point moment that triggers a major redistribution of wealth. Millions (some with salaries as high as $88,000) will soon be brought onto government-run and taxpayer-financed insurance programs.
Thomas Jefferson believed that "great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities." The Social Security Act of 1935 passed with support from 76 percent of the minority Senate Republicans and 84 percent of House Republicans. Congress created Medicare in 1965 with support from 43 percent of Senate Republicans and 51 percent of House Republicans. But, in healthcare, zero congressional Republicans voted for the final bill.
"Some say we're making history," explains Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. "I say we're breaking history."
Life changer
Bart Stupak's turn may signal the end of the pro-life Democrat
By Edward Lee Pitts
Immediately after the House passed its healthcare overhaul, Republicans tried to add stricter language preventing the federal funding of abortion. But one Democrat stood up and took the opposition's lead: "This motion is really to politicize life, not prioritize life," the Democrat said to an eventual House floor standing ovation from his party.
Who was it that rallied 232 Democrats to vote down the pro-life protections? Rep. Bart Stupak, the very author of the amendment that had passed the House last November.
This time around Stupak opposed his own measure because earlier in the day he announced that President Barack Obama would sign an executive order to affirm existing law that bars the federal funding of abortions. Six pro-life Democrats joined Stupak in now supporting the overhaul, providing the measure with last-minute momentum and essentially giving the bill its seven-vote victory margin. (Only one pro-life Democrat, Rep. Dan Lipinski of Illinois, stood his ground and opposed the overhaul because of abortion.)
But groups on both sides of the debate agreed the order, which the federal courts would likely strike down, was a meaningless charade that provided political cover for Stupak's group. Planned Parenthood announced it was "extremely pleased," calling the order a "symbolic gesture."
A majority of pro-life groups argue that the law fails to prohibit federal funds from going to plans that cover elective abortions, and they worry that its $2.5 billion funding increase for community health centers does not prohibit those centers from using these dollars to offer elective abortions.
Stupak tried to assert on the House floor that it would ensure no public funding of abortion. But the order itself clearly states it will not "impair" authority granted by law and that it does not "create" any "enforceable law."
Reprisals for Stupak, a one-time hero of the pro-life movement, came fast: The night of the vote, the Susan B. Anthony List revoked its "Defender of Life" award to Stupak.
Abortion's key role in the healthcare debate has placed the issue back on the center stage of election season. Both sides want to make pro-life Democrats extinct: Pro-abortion groups hope to shore up their hold on the Democratic party (and avoid pro-life victories like the first vote on Stupak's abortion restrictions in November) while pro-lifers don't want to risk another ninth-inning cave by pro-life Democrats. That could be bad news for Democrats in a nation where the majority now calls itself pro-life.
Stupak himself now faces a primary challenge from a pro-abortion Democrat and, should he survive that, a pro-life Republican.
On March 24 Obama quietly signed Stupak's executive order. No reporters or cameramen were invited.
