Skip to comments.Mitt Romney and that 47%
Posted on 09/17/2012 10:16:36 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Josh Barro:
You can mark my prediction now: A secret recording from a closed-door Mitt Romney fundraiser, released today by David Corn at Mother Jones, has killed Mitt Romneys campaign for president.
Josh Marshall:
Its rare when the impact of some gaffe or embarrassment or revelation isnt overstated on first blush. But this may just be that rare exception. This tape strikes me as absolutely devastating.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hasnt the 2012 campaign taught us not to jump the gun with various gaffes? (Yes, I will be using scare quotes throughout.) In fact, didnt the 2008 campaign teach us this too? Here is my old graph with the 2008 Democratic primary polls, noting Obamas comment about bitter voters who cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who arent like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
No movement in the polls after the story broke. Lets do some from the 2012 general election thus far:
No discernible or certainly consequential movement because of Obamas two gaffes. The only movement after Romneys comments about the Libya attack is in his favor, thanks largely to the probably inevitable tightening after Obamas convention bump.
The best case for saying that gaffes matter is that actual voters are persuaded to change their minds because of the gaffes. If they dont, then its tough to argue that gaffes are really game-changers. And, in fact, usually voters dont change their minds. See, for example, Michael Teslers and my analyses of the impact of the private sector is doing fine.
The best argument you can make about these gaffes is sort of a woolly counterfactual: Well, if it hadnt been for the release of Romneys video today, Romney would have been able to accomplish X, Y, and Z, which would have helped him win the election. Like any counterfactual, there is some plausibilityyes, Romney would rather talk about the unemployment rate than these comments.
But like any counterfactual, its predicated on assumptions about what the world would have looked like without these comments. And given the tenuousness of any such assumptions, and the (at best) small effects that single events in any presidential general election campaign tend to have, I would stop well short of calling this video devastating.
Many a news cycle was built on a gaffe with a remarkably short shelf life.
good points. not to mention, the polls are rigged.
even when it was Hillary vrs Obama.
(like the lastest CBS poll, at D+13 !)
Clinging to guns and Bibles was offensive.
Romney pointed out what various news stories already stated. The "takers" weren't voting for him anyway.
People that were going to vote against Obama heard something they liked.
People that hate Romney and Republicans heard something they did not like.
Everyone else is too busy with Justin Bieber and the fall TV lineup.
When the bombs start flying against Iran no one will even remember this.
The only "gaffes" in recent memory that had any staying power were "I was for it before I was against it" and "I never had sex with that woman", Clinton's only memorable line after 20 years of running his mouth.
Well John, You may mark my words now.
Obama killed Chris Stephan's and 3 others with ineptitude.
He has killed the economy and the first amendment.
It seems to me that this election is far too polarized to be affected by perceived "gaffes". It's strange, but gaffes seem to have more devastating effects in every other election whether it be senate and house races, or primaries.
Rick Perry's "oops" destroyed his campaign
Herman Cain not knowing anything about Libya
The infamous "witchcraft" facepalm
Akin's rape comment
I'd like someone to bring up a presidential race where a candidate was destroyed by a gaffe. I can't recall one.
The media has had a left-wing bias for a long time; but they didn't truly become a fully-fledged, actively campaigning propaganda arm for the Democratic party until Obama's first run at the presidency in 2008 (when they destroyed Sarah Palin). Amazingly, they are even worse this year. Given the attention span and general slack-jawed dipshittedness of the average American voter, I don't think this can be overcome unless Romney finds his inner Gingrich. He needs to treat the news media with the contempt they deserve, and maybe even express a little bit of contempt for our first anti-American president.
Seems to me most people do not want to be considered as "takers" so they will group themselves with the 53%.
This could be a smart move by Romney.
>> Id like someone to bring up a presidential race where a candidate was destroyed by a gaffe. I cant recall one. <<
Dukakis. Quayle. Palin. "Read my lips"
But what Romney did was not a gaffe.
Well, let me just say Akin hasn't lost yet, not yet anyway.
And you left out Pawlenty's unwillingness to say "Obamneycare" to Romeny's face. I like Pawlenty, but that was just craven.
Maybe "I was for it before I was against it" hurt Kerry, but not so much as the TRUTHS the swiftboaters reminded America about.
And I'd say Dukakis in the tank, although one might quibble whether or not that was a gaffe. And my understanding from recent reading is that he led in the polls long after that.
Although I'll never forget looking at that picture and hubby saying to me "Was $25 grand too much to offer for that roll of film?" (LOL, remember rolls of film? We're old! - that was back when 25 Gs was real big money!)
And I also remember, what was that magazine SPY? I think that was what it was called, ran a "separated at birth" thing with Dukakis and the Cleveland Indians mascot "Chief Wahoo", it cracked me up so much hubby got me an Indians sweatshirt. I still have it, maybe I should go up to Mass. and go door to door for Elizabeth Warren!
Goshdarn, we need to be of good cheer. Let's go kick the dems to the curb this November, let's all just try as hard as we can to make that happen. Because they are just awful.
Hey, the Republicans won't win any prizes either, but the dems are the worst bunch of liars, phonies and bs artists you can find.
That "gaffe" just cemented my support for the guy. Previously lukewarm, I now feel I might have misjudged him a bit.
This "gaffe" shows me that he actually understands that the exchange of stand-up citizenship for government largessee status represents an existential threat to our future as a nation.
"Poland is not under soviet domination"
Actually, this is way overblown (duh!). I think there are quite a few seniors in that 47% category that would never DREAM of voting for Obama. How does the guv not know this?
I'm in your camp.
Prior to this, I thought Romney was just another Rockefeller Republican.
Now I'm starting to think that he might 'get it'.
Starting to. I'm still not convinced, because he's back-peddling on the comment, and his speech didn't talk about what to DO about the 47% who are head-down at Uncle's feed bunk.
A strange world we live in when the truth is labelled a "gaffe."
Actually he said "Eastern Europe," not Poland. It wasn't really a gaffe until he insisted he didn't misspeak (actually intending Western Europe.) When he dug his heals in, he looked quite stupid — and, he was.
that sums it up perfectly
Audiance = Audience...I even checked it...Aaargh!
Seriously - this kind of "Dumminess" is a problem. I even heard a black guy talking to another black person (security guards) who said he was undecided and wished he could vote for Clinton again.
Undecided voters often don't vote...but they will when they here something like this.
You can't say 47% of the people are on the government dole...they aren't...at least all the way. I get my coffee from McD's every morning and sometimes an Egg McMuffin and I see the same people every day and they are adults who get up at 6:00am for every shift. They always say thank you and "come back". These aren't lazy people and I don't begrudge them a few foodstamps if their salary is low.
Romney is messing up bigtime IMHO.
here's a clue for you liberals. what groups are disproprtionately represented in those red highlighted states? hint: 97% of this particular group voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
Well I don't have a problem with the fact that your graph shows that the southern states are the highest "Non-Payers" by state...my state (Georgia is pretty close to a "paying state")
I seem to remember Gerald Ford saying something about certain Eastern European countries behind the Iron Curtain actually being "free" during a debate with Carter...it was pretty devastating.
Georgia-the state with the third highest population of african americans. Mississippi is number one. Lousiana is number 2. South Carolina is #5. Alabama is #6. Florida is #11 and Arkansas is #12. I wonder why there are so many people collecting welfare and not paying taxes in those states.
Yep. And there's a bigger problem: oblunder has clearly divided this country in many ways, polarized groups against one another. Romney's comments only make this worse. He should be pointing out obluncer's divisiveness and not coming up with his own.
At a time when we need to come together, Romney needs to reach out to every group and invite them in. That's what Reagan did. Reagan would never have written off half the Citizens for the other party. He invited them to join him to make a new America.
Here we are at the point where a guy who knows economics inside and out is blasted from both sides for making a true statement, while the lying son-of-a-bitch-in-chief gets plaudits for each new fabrication manufactured for him. Screw it. This country really is dead.
Mr. niteowl77
This is true. Romney is/was never going to get the Government Dependents' votes anyway. His winning depends on massive voter turnout on the ABO side, and with independents, with an ambivalent Democrat leech turnout.
It was not a "gaffe", it was a serious violation of the standards of Political Correctness.
..."But what Romney did was not a gaffe"...
It was called that by people who major in calling good, evil and evil, good. ..."Jesus (Yeshua) warned Satan is the "father of all lies. The Bible warns "in the last days" evil men (and women) will be prevalent. Lying and deception (and being deceived) will characterize the generation (and the leaders) who will pull the world down into the dark abyss and terrors of the coming "Apocalypse" . . .
"But KNOW this,
that in the last days
perilous times will come . . .
Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse,
deceiving (lying) and being deceived."
(2 Timothy 3:1, 13)"...
We believers admit to being a "peculiar" people because some of us believe we are in the last days. What description can come closer than that of the previous quote to describing the hedonism of our ruling classes today? God has a place prepared for the just and the unjust..We must always remember that a final judgement will bring justice to bear on the sinful men and women who have only lusted for power in their short lives here on this earth.
..."for All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls"...ESV 1 Peter 1:24
And do we expect that all welfare mothers want the same lifestyle for their daughters? I think not! And do we expect that all disabled fathers want their sons to be disabled? I think not!
Dependent people want better for their children. They want their children to be employed and self-sufficient. These are the children for whom Romney will be providing opportunities.
I think it's a very smart move. Remember when Obama said "everyone's got to have skin in the game?" Well everyone doesn't. Half the country is carrying the other half and both the middle class and the wealthy resent it.
I am flabbergasted at how wrong-headed your post is.
There is NO WAY that the Republicans can out-Democrat the Democrats. That's what got us into this mess.
And if you are saying that Latino's are all part of the 47%, that's just wrong.
And for the ones who are, along with whites, blacks and everyone else, it's time for the parasites to consider the health of the host or nobody is gong to be left.
We just can't afford to let this go on, and for my part I commend him for getting this issue out in the open.
Oh the Latino vote is already lockstep to Obama for Mexicans, thanks to Obama's promising of illegal alien bennies. For Cubans Romney has a lead I am sure. Puerto Ricans may be slightly in the Obama camp although historically they don't get along with blacks.
This might actually work in his favor to "gin up" and excite the base! Bush did this in 2004 and won by about 4%. it is doable! But none of you who claim to be conservatives need to sit on the fence!
Despite the fact that Romney wasn't my choice, I will vote. I will vote. I will vote - for Romney - Against OBAMA!!!!!

The present invention relates to receptacles and more particularly relates to receptacles for receiving waste materials which receptacles are provided with an attached flexible closure to facilitate disposal of the waste with a minimal amount of contact.
There are many applications in which waste is collected and the waste is either unsanitary or is contaminated and therefore the individual wishes to minimize contact with the refuse or waste. Waste of this type can be found in medical facilities, chemical plants and the like. A common instance of this type of waste is in domestic situations where a pet owner provides a tray of filler material for pet waste for use by cats. A cat will urinate and defecate in the litter and after a period of time the litter must be removed and replaced with fresh litter. The cleaning procedure is obviously unpleasant and requires the pet owner to scoop out the contaminated litter or dump it into a trash receptacle and thereafter clean the tray and replace the litter. Similar situations exist with respect to bird cages where the liner in the bottom of the tray must be periodically removed and cleaned or disposed of and a fresh liner put in place. Numerous other situations exist with contaminated or unsanitary waste material which make the disposal procedure unpleasant or in some cases, due to the unsanitary and contaminated nature of the waste material, a health hazard.
Various types of containers for disposal of waste materials such as cat tray filler can be found in the prior art.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,771,493 shows a litter and waste receptacle for small pet animals such as cats comprising a basin and a removable liner which is secured in place by a detachable cover. The cover has an opening to allow the animal to enter and exit the basin. The liner is made of a relatively flexible disposable material such as polyethylene film to form to the shape of the basin and is removable from the basin for disposal.
A somewhat similar liner is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,279,217 in which the improved liner has an opening at the approximate center which communicates with a collapsible pocket which is adapted to lay flat beneath the liner when in use. As the liner is lifted out of the box, the soiled absorbant runs into the pocket for easy disposal. Other waste containers of the general type are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,831,557; 4,171,680; 3,978,818; and 4,308,825.
While devices and liners of the type mentioned above are widely used and make the removal of soiled litter a tolerable task, the liners all have a common problem. Animals, particularly cats, often will scratch or dig at the litter filler. Accordingly, the cat will frequently tear the liner and when the bag is attempted to be removed, the soiled absorbant will spill through the holes. The edge of the liner, if it is simply folded over the edge of the box, will tend to collapse into the box making removal more difficult. Cats will also tend to play with the loose liner scattering the contaminated material about. Further, in the removal operation, it is necessary for the owner to grasp the liner edge which is at least partially exposed and may have been soiled by the animal.
The present invention provides a convenient and effective receptacle for containing waste material, which is particularly applicable to animal litter containers, and which receptacle avoids spillage and eliminates the need for contact with any portion of the container which may have been soiled by the animal.
Further, with the present invention, the container in which the litter filler is received is a material resistant to tearing by the claws of the animal using the device.
The present invention provides a receptacle for containment of refuse and waste materials, particularly pet waste materials. The apparatus includes a rigid, scratch-resistant container for receiving the litter filler. A flange extends around the periphery of the container and a flexible closure is received in a channel defined at least partially by the flange. In the normal use-position, the flexible closure is received in an out-of-the-way position. One or more release tabs project from the flange and are attached to the closure. In a preferred form of the invention, the closure is adhesively or otherwise bonded to the container and is folded in pleats in the out-of-the-way position. When the tabs are pulled, the flexible closure unfolds across the open end of the container and may then be secured by a twist tie. The entire receptacle is then lifted by grasping the secured closure with the contained waste and carrying to a waste receptacle without spillage and without the user coming into contact with the refuse or any soiled portion of the receptacle. The receptacle may be variously sized and shaped to conform to the use and preference of the user. In other embodiments, the flexible closure may be secured at an upwardly opening channel or at one end of the rigid container and extended over the container opening for disposal.
The above and other advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the following specification and drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the disposable waste receptacle of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3A to 3C are sectional views similar to FIG. 2 illustrating release and extension of the flexible closure over the open container;
FIG. 3D is an end view of the receptacle with the closure gathered and sealed over the container portion of the receptacle;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 2 showing an alternate embodiment in which the channel receiving the flexible closure opens upwardly;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of one end of a container of an alternate embodiment in which the closure is secured to the end wall of the container;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the receptacle and closure showing an alternate geometric shape for the receptacle;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of an alternate form of the disposal container of the present invention for use in aviary cages;
FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along lines 8--8 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing another shape of the invention for use as a waste receptacle in an aviary cage; and
FIG. 10 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of FIG. 8.
Turning now to the drawings, particularly FIGS. 1 and 2, the disposable waste receptacle of the present invention is generally designated by the numeral 10 and includes a tray portion on container 12. Container 12 is shown as being generally rectangular in cross-section having opposite side walls 14 and 16 and end walls 18 and 20. A generally flat bottom 22 completes the construction of the container. The receptacle has an open top 25. For use as a receptacle for litter, the container is approximately fourteen inches wide, eighteen inches long and with a depth of three to four inches, suitable for reception of an absorbant filler material 27. Container 12 is preferably of a one-piece, seamless plastic molded construction, for example a high-impact polystyrene, polyethylene, vinyl or other similar polymeric materials which are resistant to tearing and scratching. The container is preferably made by vacuum forming or blow molding and has sufficient rigidity to retain its shape when used and to remain free-standing. In the instance of a cat filler tray, several pounds of material 27 would normally be placed on the bottom 22 of the container when in use filling the container to a depth of several inches. For improved structural integrity and rigidity, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 24 may be placed at selected locations around the side end walls of the container.
As best seen in FIG. 2, a continuous horizontal flange 26 extends around the opening 25 of the container and is integrally formed with the container walls. A continuous vertical flange 28 adjoins the horizontal flange 26 and has an inwardly turned lip 30 at its bottom edge. The flange and lip are also integrally formed with the container. A small projection 32 may be continuously formed on the side and end walls of the receptacle opposite lip 30. Accordingly, the horizontal flange 26 and vertical flange 28 define a downwardly opening channel 31 which extends entirely around the container. The configuration of the container described above permits efficient stacking of the receptacle for packaging and storing.
Channel 31 houses the flexible closure member 36 in a stored, out-of-the-way position until such time as it is desired to close the receptacle and dispose of the contents. The closure member 36 consists of a sleeve generally conforming to the shape of the container 10. The closure 36 is of a flexible liquid-impervious material such as polyethylene, or vinyl. Low-density polyethylene film commonly used for household trash bags is suitable. The film should be thick enough to support the rigid container 12 and contents when lifted. For animal refuse applications, a thickness in the range of about one to two mils is adequate.
One end of the closure 36 is permanently secured to the underside of the horizontal flange 26 at location 42 by welding or by application of adhesive. The flexible closure is folded upon itself forming a number of individual pleats 37. The extended length of the closure is sufficient to completely cover the container and allow the user to easily gather the open top 40 of the closure as shown in FIG. 3D.
Although the closure 36 may be packed in pleated fashion as shown in FIG. 2, the closure may be packed in other configurations, as for example in a loose "parachute" style. The pleated configuration is preferred as it allows for efficient unfolding of the closure and the closure 36 occupies a minimum of space in the folded condition.
The closure 36 is retained in the peripheral channel 31 by an annular retaining member 41 which may be a piece of plastic or cardboard which is frictionally retained in place by the oppositely projecting lip members 30 and 32. At one or more peripheral locations, preferably oppositely disposed from one another, the annular member 41 is slotted to allow projecting tabs 50 to depend therethrough, the tabs 50 have one end secured to the open end 40 of the closure. The tabs may be an integrally formed portion of the closure or may be bonded to the sleeve. Preferably the tab is configured and is sized to provide a surface convenient for the user to grasp between the thumb and forefinger. As seen in FIG. 3B, a wire twist tie 51 is adhesively secured either to the tab or to a portion of the closure 36 by adhesive tape or other convenient means for convenient access to the user.
When the receptacle is used for animal waste, it is filled with a suitable absorbant material 27. For other applications, various other absorbant materials may be used or in many applications absorbant material may not be necessary. When the absorbant material becomes soiled or it is otherwise desired to dispose of the contents of the container, the user will simply grasp the oppositely positioned tabs 50 giving a sharp downward pull. As shown in FIG. 3B, the peripheral retainer 41 will be dislodged, allowing the flexible closure 36 to extend. As the closure expands, it can then be pulled upwardly around the vertical flange 28 until the container opening 25 is enclosed. The upper free end of the closure is gathered and the wire twist tie 51 removed from its location on the sleeve and the open end sealed as shown in FIG. 3D. The entire receptacle and contents can then be carried to a waste receptacle without spillage and without contact with the contents. Further, since the channel 31 opens downwardly, the flexible closure 36 is protected during the period of time that the waste is being deposited in the container. In the case of a cat litter box, any urine or fecal matter that may accumulate, even on the upper surface of the flange 26, need not be touched by the pet owner as it is not necessary to contact these surfaces when releasing the closure and securing the flexible closure member over the subjacent receptacle. Thus, for example, a cat does not have easy access to the closure and tearing or shredding of the flexible closure by the animal is avoided.
FIG. 4 shows an alternate embodiment of the invention in which the rigid container 12 is formed with a side wall 62 from which horizontally extends a flange 54 and an upwardly extending peripheral flange 56. Again, a flexible closure 64 conforming to the configuration of the container 62 is packed in the channel 65 formed by the flanges 54 and 56. An annular retainer 66 is frictionally held in place by oppositely extending projections 67 and 68. The annular retainer 66 serves to retain the flexible closure member in a packed condition within the channel and protect it during use. Tab 69 is pulled to release the closure in the manner explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In other respects the construction and use of the receptacle is as has been described above.
As shown in FIG. 5, the rigid container 80 may be of any desired geometric shape. In FIG. 5, the rigid container 80 is shown as being generally round in crosssection having a peripheral flange 82 which defines a downwardly opening channel for receiving the flexible closure member 85. The closure member is released and gathered over the opening of the container 80 and secured by a suitable tie 86.
In FIG. 6 the rigid container 90 is impervious to liquid and may be fabricated as a one-piece seamless plastic molded construction. A flexible plastic sleeve 74 is bonded to one vertical side wall 76 of the container. Preferably, the side wall 76 is one of the narrower walls if the configuration is rectangular. The sleeve is folded on itself in a stored position and secured in place by sealed tab 78 which has an adhesive surface 79 which may be secured to the upper end of the wall to retain the sleeve in the folded condition. When the container and the contents are to be readied for disposal, the tab 78 is peeled from the container allowing the sleeve to be extended longitudinally over the entire container with the open end gathered at the opposite end of the container and secured by a suitable twist tie.
FIGS. 7, 8 and show an alternate embodiment of the present invention generally designated by the numeral 100. In this embodiment, the container again has opposite end walls 102, 104 and opposite side walls 106, 108 with a horizontally extending bottom 110 forming an open receptacle. The container is generally rectangular and has an annularly extending flange 115 which houses a flexible closure 118 in the stored position. Tab 120 is provided at the opposite end walls to facilitate release of the flexible closure.
The embodiment 100 is particularly designed for use in aviary cages and may be placed in the bottom of the cage 125 as shown in FIG. 9 as an alternative to use of newspapers and other liners. The receptacle is placed in the cage and the closure 118 partially extended as shown in FIG. 8 to completely cover the bottom of the cage. When it is desired to remove the tray and contents the edges of the closure are grasped and pulled over the receptacle and gathered at the top as has been described above.
A further feature of the receptacle of the embodiment 100 is the inclusion of compartments 130 at opposite corners of the receptacle. The containers are defined by adjacent side walls and end walls and an annular inner partition 132 extending diagonally between the end wall and side wall, thus forming a generally triangular shaped compartment at either corner for reception of water and bird seed.
FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment of the invention 150 similar to that of FIG. 7 having a round receptacle 155 adaptable for use in round cages 160.
The foregoing is descriptive of several preferred embodiments to the present invention. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to make various changes, alterations and modifications to the embodiments described herein. To the extent these modifications, changes and alterations do not depart from the spirit and scope of the appended claims, they are intended to be encompassed therein.

Discovering Boundaries:
Saving Our Daughters,
Saving Ourselves
We try and we try. We try when everyone else gives up, and we try when professionals tell us we should turn our energies elsewhere. Despite consistent recommendations to place Ellen in residential care, it was another thing I refused to do, sure she wasn't that sick. It was only in the fall of eleventh grade, when the physician who had cared for her over the entire three years of her illness spoke honestly to me, that I realized I could no longer fight the battle for Ellen.
"How's it going?" Dr. L. asked, as he always did at the beginning of our clinic visits. This time, he had come out to the waiting room where I sat alone, which I knew meant something was on his mind.
"Not too well." He'd heard that from me before; knew all the reasons that might be so: Ellen's school troubles, weight loss, worsening depression—I'm sure he had the list of her problems memorized as well as I did. Further, like me, he could sense when she was going downhill long before her weight dropped to life-threatening levels.
"What's going on?"
"Her rages are out of control. I'm afraid of her—we all are." I went on to describe her escalating anger and depression as well as the

Comparing the Effectiveness of Regulation and Pro-Social Emotions to Enhance Cooperation: Experimental Evidence from Fishing Communities in Colombia
Lopez, Maria Claudia, Murphy, James J., Spraggon, John M., Stranlund, John K., Economic Inquiry
This paper presents the results from a series of framed field experiments that were conducted in two fishing communities on two islands along the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The experiments were designed to compare the effectiveness in promoting efficient choices of social emotions, particularly guilt and shame, vis-a-vis externally-imposed regulatory controls. We are mainly interested in the value of external regulatory pressure to promote efficiency in environmental and natural resource settings in the developing world.
Our notions of guilt and shame come from similar definitions employed by Bowles and Gintis (2003), Elster (1989, 1998), Hollander (1990), and Kandel and Lazear (1992). We define guilt as an internal penalty, or disutility, that one experiences when her non-cooperative behavior is not known by others in a society, whereas shame occurs when anonymity is removed and the individual's behavior is revealed to others. (1) The key distinguishing feature between the two is that shame depends on the public revelation of individual behavior, whereas guilt does not. Of course, guilt and shame have positive opposites--an individual may feel a sense of pride that comes from knowing that she has been cooperative and that feeling may be accentuated when her cooperative behavior is known to the rest of her community. These emotions can enhance cooperative behavior because they produce either internal sanctions for non-cooperative behavior or internal rewards for cooperation. Such cooperation-enhancing emotions are often called pro-social emotions (Bowles and Gintis 2003).
Our work is closely related to other experimental studies that suggest that the desire to avoid social disapproval or gain social approval can enhance cooperative behavior. Gachter and Fehr (1999) show that avoiding social disapproval and peer pressure can induce cooperation when combined with some familiarity among subjects. Masclet et al. (2003) implemented a point system that individuals could use to express a degree of disapproval. Use of this system did not entail costs for those assigning points or receiving points. (2) This simple way of communicating disapproval increased contributions to the public good. Rege and Telle (2004) find that the simple identification of subjects and their contributions to a public good, without giving other group members the ability to express approval or disapproval, tends to increase contributions in a one-shot public good game. (3) In contrast, Noussair and Tucker (2007) suggest that the positive effects of publicly revealing individuals' contributions may rapidly deteriorate over time.
The traditional response to correcting externalities generated by the divergence between individual and social well being is to impose regulatory control to induce more efficient individual decisions. There is a significant literature on the effectiveness and efficiency of regulatory control--typically fixed quotas with some exogenous enforcement apparatus--on behavior in common property and public good games. This literature suggests that regulatory controls may not be effective at meeting the goal of increasing cooperative behavior. Ostmann (1998) finds that external regulation and enforcement financed by experiment participants only reduces harvests from a common pool by a small amount relative to a regulation-free environment. Beckenkamp and Ostmann (1999) report that high sanctions can cause overuse because subjects may perceive the high sanction as unfair. Cardenas, Stranlund, and Willis (2000) find that a quota supported by weak enforcement is effective in initial rounds, but the effectiveness of the regulation quickly erodes. Ostrom (2000) discusses how enforcement of externally-imposed rules may crowd out endogenous cooperative behavior because it may discourage the formation of social norms to solve the dilemma and at the same time may encourage players to cheat the system. …

When should I tell family members that I'm pregnant?
I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and I'm not sure when to tell my parents, my brother, and my husband's parents. I've had two miscarriages in the past -- both after I told my relatives I was pregnant. Our families are coming to visit this week. Should I go ahead and tell them in person, or wait until I'm past the first trimester?

Diane, given that you will have company, I would be up front and let them know the "good news". I understand first hand what it's like to loose a pregnancy, but I would encourage you to look forward and make it the best you can. Extra company can create quite a stress, hence why I would tell them. You need to preserve yourself and your energy. Good luck. P.s. I just found out I'm pregnant - 5 weeks behind you.posted 04/11/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I would wait until after the first trimester--you will feel more "safe" then. I also had 1 miscarriage, so I know it is painful--especially after you tell your family. I have one beautiful son now, and 1 more on the way in 8 more weeks---it will all work out for you! good luck, and I'll keep you and your baby to be in my prayers.posted 04/11/2004 by mom-of-3boys
I told everyone at 9 weeks after the 1st ultrasound. Close family even before then.posted 04/26/2010 by Angela136
It just depends on you. I miscarried with my first pregnancy and we had told everyone. My second pregnancy went fine and I have a four year old little girl and I am now five weeks pregnant with my second child and we have told family and close friends. I found that with my first pregnancy, it wouldn't have mattered if I waited to tell or not, people were kind and supportive. It's a personal choice, you would probably want your family to support you if something were to happen. I'm excited and I don't care who knows!!!!posted 04/20/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I have ridiculously irregular periods, so each time I've found out I was pregnant I had no idea how far I was. My 'policy' has been to wait until I've been given a due date because that's the first question people always ask and it's awkward saying that I don't know. I recently had a positive pregnancy test and I have my first OB appt next Tuesday and I will find out how far I am. I'll probably tell my mom the same day and everyone else shortly after that. Not telling anyone besides my husband so far has been torture! PS: This is my 4th!posted 03/18/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
im 5 weeks now, it was just last sat that we come to know about it, by now almost all our love ones knows...this is my third pregnancy after 7 1/2 years. my youngest son died last year of leukemia,my eldest son is 12 now. everybody are overwhelmed with this pregnancy and their hoping it will be a girl this time all of them seems to be involved in the development and progress of the baby. for its ok to let them know asap.posted 03/04/2010 by Mom RB
when i first got pregnant i didnot tell any one till i was about 5 months and i regret it. it seemed like they were more angry because i didnt tell them sooner. and i would have like the support and help alot earlyer i think u should tell themposted 01/31/2010 by LVLA3
I am 5 weeks pregnent after a miscarriage while I was 5 weeks.I did not tell anyone about my pregnancy last time so I had to tell them about the miscarriage and they got so upset. I have a 3 and 1/2 year old son. I think this time, I will tell my closest family pretty soon, because I want to share my happineess with them, instead of sadness of loosing my baby.posted 01/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
It's funny. I'm only 5 weeks pregnant and it still doesn't feel real. I...couldn't wait to tell my parents or my sister and on new years eve I spilled the news right after 12PM. My husband, on the other hand, is a bit superstitious and can hold this kind of info longer so we are waiting to tell his folks as per his wishes. I get nervous b/c it is very early and our first child, but I tell my family pretty much everything so why wouldn't I share this happy news with them??!! I feel that it is your perogative on to tell or not to tell. Good luck!posted 01/04/2010 by JCapa
We told to our parents and my best friend. When we hear our baby's heartbeats we'll tell the world:)posted 01/08/2010 by Zulejka

Gloom was the word that came to mind as the handful of Arkansas Razorbacks fans gathered at the airport here Sunday morning after the Hogs' 38-20 loss to South Carolina.

Living in the city can make it hard to get a good view of the night sky, but once in a blue moon the stars and planets put on a show you can see through the city lights. No, seriously...there's a blue moon this weekend! Plus, Mars will be as close as it's been in a decade, so it's going to be shining like a beacon. If you look to the southeast after sunset, Mars, Saturn, and the bright red star Antares will all be hanging out together in the constellation Scorpius, and the full moon will be passing through and joining them over the weekend.
I am a Book Floozy.
Back in the early '90s, I got into buying, preparing, and eating caterpillars on a fairly regular basis. They were smoked and crunchy/chewy and delicious cooked in a peanut butter sauce with onions and garlic and hot peppers. On one of many trips through the Central African rainforest, the rickety and over-stuffed bus I was on broke down and some of the women passengers disappeared into the thick trees only to return within the hour with handfuls of caterpillars wrapped in their shawls.
This weekend I hiked up to Arapahoe Glacier in the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. It's the largest glacier in Colorado, and definitely an impressive sight--a field of ice covering nearly 40 acres, nestled among towering crags at 12,700 feet. But by glacial standards, Arapahoe Glacier is a pipsqueak. It's tiny compared to great valley glaciers like the one in the second photo, which is in Alaska.
What better time than National Library Week (April 12-18, 2015) to expand people's appreciation of libraries. Here's a look at several, sometimes overlooked, services Denver Public Library offers.
I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving, but Holiday craziness and shopping stresses me out - it all seems to be creep further into the loveliness and peacefulness of Thanksgiving every year.
One of my favorite resources, Consumer Reports, has put out a useful one-page guide to help shoppers manage spending and financial decisions through the holidays. I especially like #5.
The seven commandments they've come up with are:
I was listening to Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life on our new record player recently and the track "Black Man" came on. I have to admit that I didn't really know this one but it's great, just like the entire album is great.
Watching a lot of World Cup games has been and will continue to be a lot of fun and exciting... and entertaining. I've heard a few groans about how there's way too much drama and bodies flopping all over the field. It doesn't bother me too much and it certainly doesn't make me NOT want to watch as much as I can.
Steve Jobs means Apple Computers basically. Think AppleII, Macintosh, PowerBook, iMac, MacBook, iPod, iPad, iPhone.
Is there a song written about your career? Or someone in a position like yours? Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson told mothers not to let their babies grow up to be cowboys (they should be doctors and lawyers and such)... and Smokey Robinson crooned that there's nothing much sadder than the tears of a clown.
Below are some lyrics to a few songs that mention various occupations in the title or lyrics. Can you name some others?

With globalization reaching its peak since the first time human was able to travel out of his country, you might be faced with injuries suffered in a foreign country. When this happens you have to be able to talk to the doctors and understand what if any treatment you need to follow. This is when translators can save the day – learn how and what to do when you will be travelling abroad.
Effective communication between doctors and patients
Medical document translation is important to have in a number of critical cases. First, the light and easy case which implies a vacation in a foreign country. If you suffer from any chronic conditions or allergies you should have your medical papers translated just in case you break a leg or faint due to extreme heat and the doctors need to know your medical background before administering any substances.
Another case when you definitely need medical document translation is when you are looking to treat or have surgery in a foreign country. Many persons choose to have surgeries in foreign countries for a number of reasons and when this happens, you need to be able to show the doctors what treatments and operations you had in the past.
Law and medical care
Apart from emergencies, when you might be asked for a rush translation, you might need medical translations for filing a trial against a medical team. In this case, the judge is going to ask for a certified translation, which can be used as evidence in court, so you will be able to gain compensations if you are entitled to them.
What to translate and why
At first sight, this might look like a painful complication, but in the event something goes wrong and you end up in the hospital, you will want to be able to inform the doctors about your current health state. When you travel abroad you should translate a basic medical record, patient consent for medical procedures and post-discharge information for the patient to follow after being treated. This way you can be sure the medical team which is going to take care of you knows exactly what to do.
Now, you might ask why you need professional translation for the medical papers. The answer is simple: for your own safety! The smallest mistake can mean the difference between life and death when it's about your health, so you don't want your doctors to read a medical translation which was made by your sister, niece or friend. Despite watching "Grey's Anatomy" and "House", most people are not aware of medical terms, especially if you need to translate them from English to Greek or vice-verse.

"A LITTLE CITY WITH A LOT OF CULTURE" Top 5 Page for this destination Kingston by moiraistyx
Kingston Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 133 photos
Before this great little city was called Kingston it was called Esopus after a local Indian tribe. It was later renamed Wiltwyck which is Dutchfor wild area. Wiltwyck was one of the three largest settlements in New Netherland. When the area was taken over by the British in 1664 it was renamed Kingston. In 1777 Kingston became the first capital of New York.
I visit Kingston often because I have clients who live there. I have been able to see just about every aspect of the city and know first hand there are places and areas to avoid. A good example of a place to avoid in the King's Inn. Check out my tips to find out why. There are definately places that are a must see in Kingston. The Roundout Water Front is one of them.
I hope to add a great deal of information to this page in the near future. Until then I hope you enjoy my work in progress.

I do like the flexibility this plugin has, but like so many others, the templates don't output structured data so it doesn't meet my needs.
I'm specifically looking for a testimonials plugin that outputs sdc schema data, and this one DOES does have the ability to create your own templates. It's a bit over my head, but I'm running it by my programmer to test...
New to me any ways,
much to my surprise,
That TB in the admin bar was added by this plugin.
It is little more than self promotion and doesn't belong there.
It confuses my clients who, when using their sites questioned me as to what and who is TB?
solution, remove it.
file: tb-testimonials.php
line: 32
replace this: require_once( 'inc/tbar/tbar.class.php' );
with this: //require_once( 'inc/tbar/tbar.class.php' );
And lets hope to convince the developer of the error of his ways.
Please remove this advertising from your plugin.
If it shows up again on any future update, we will have to write
de-activation hooks to permanently remove it, regardless of reactivation.
My rating will stay at 3 stars for the moment.

Posted June 20, 1994 and updated on January 29, 2014
The most recent home video release of this movie is September 30, 2003. Here are some details…
Re-released in 2003 as a Deluxe Edition, lowly Rudy's high hopes are presented in high quality digital video and Dolby Digital sound. The two-disc set includes the inspiring motion picture sound track, as well as original trailers and featurettes. While the bonus materials are rather sparse, there is something included that is very worthwhile an interview with the real Rudy. It is touching to listen to him recount his own tale, with tears in his eyes.
- Theatrical trailer(s)
- Includes CD soundtrack
- "Rudy: The Real Story" featurette
- Original featurette
- "First Down with Sean Astin" featurette
- Isolated music score
- Talent files
- Widescreen anamorphic format

When I read Consumer Reports, I simply want to know whether a certain camera takes a good photo, or whether the dishwasher will effectively clean the dishes even if I leave some of my wife's baked lasagna on the plate.
Instead, I get a great deal of unnecessary info that I really don't care much about. Did you know that the camera strap on the Nikon D series is three millimeters thicker than the one on the Olympus TG-820? That the Amana dishwasher has only four rollers on the bottom rack, but a Kenmore has six?
Right now, I'm still trying to figure out the difference between a shampoo and a conditioner. You can only think about so many things.
I didn't pay much attention to this iconic publication until about 1978 when I was looking for an inexpensive car. I considered the Dodge Horizon, but then I read an article in the magazine that said the vehicle could develop an "oscillatory yaw." This steered me away from the car, because apparently this problem could steer me into a brick wall. I really didn't know what those fancy mechanical terms meant, but it sounded like the noise I made when I fell asleep on my back.
There was obviously some connection to cars because when Mary Ellen and I got married I had to sleep in the garage a few nights when my yaw oscillated just a bit too much.
The newest consumer monthly is called Shop Smart ;) and yes, that emoticon is part of the actual title. Honestly, I don't want the cover of a publication winking at me. Playboy never winked at me, and heaven knows it had good reason. It reminds me of a sign I saw in a supermarket window the other day: "Ground Beef." Why is that in quotes? It's really ground beef, isn't it? Now imagine if the butcher handed the "meat" to you, told you how delish it was … and then he winked.
My favorite article this month was "Money-Wasting Kitchen Gadgets." This is a helpful Shop Smart ;) feature for anyone who has not yet bought a $19.95 pair of onion goggles but might consider them as a last-minute stocking stuffer for Aunt Mildred.
The magazine gives a poor rating to the Williams-Sonoma mango pitter but is strangely silent on the company's avocado cuber, corn husker and strawberry huller. This is proof, I fear, that the editors may be influenced by radical fruit and vegetable lobbyists in Washington.
This month there was an interesting spread on the hazards of
everyday products in your home. For example, aerosol hairspray can cause respiratory problems, although it helps if you don't spray it in your nose. Also, cetylpyridinium chloride in your mouthwash (like Crest Pro-Health) can turn your tongue brown. I've been using this product for years, so now every time I pass a mirror I check things out. My wife thinks I'm auditioning to be a guitarist with Kiss.
Finally, I also discovered that cotton swabs can be dangerous. According to the otolaryngologist interviewed, these bathroom essentials can introduce bacteria in your ears. "Hello, Mr. Ear Canal, I'm a Q-tip and I'd like you to meet my friend Strep Tococcus."
I don't think that really happens, but it would explain all the voices I keep hearing in my head.

All 15 crew members involved in navigating the South Korean ferry that sank and left more than 300 people dead, or missing are now in custody.
South Korean authorities detained four more crew members today. Eleven other crew members, including the captain, had already been arrested. All are accused of negligence, and of failing to help passengers in need when the ferry sank ten days ago. Only 174 people survived the tragedy. The death toll has risen to 187, and more than a hundred bodies are still missing.

I love all crafts! I especially enjoy spending time knitting, spinning, paper crafting, cooking, and reading. I think I've loved crafting since I was a little girl and fridays were my favorite day of school because that's when we had art day.
