Even with the explosion of new subdivisions and strip malls in the early 2000s, and despite the drought after that, agriculture's various forms remain key economic drivers in both counties after almost 200 years.

What a good question. But without knowing your more of your financial position and retirement objectives it is really difficult to give you a definitive answer. You would do well to consult with a financial planner to see which decision would benefit you most. Having said that, in most situations owining is a better decision than renting.
By owning you have independence, pride of ownership, and equity appreciation just to name a few positives that are benefits to you in general and even more as retirees. Also, by renting you can face higher rents, being forced to move when you don't want to, limitations on what you can do in and with your home. And as I often say, 'You will be making a mortgage payment; either yours or your landlord's'. I have a lender who is also a certified financial planner. He may be a good initial resource for you.

If my Husband and I were about to retire and wanting to downsize, I think I would stay put for a littler longer. It's still more of a Buyers market right now. Selling a larger home at a lower price and Buying a smaller home just doesn't seem to make sense to me. If you were Selling a smaller house and moving up to a larger Home, I would be saying, yes, sell the smaller home and get the larger home while the price is low. I suppose the ideal situation if you can swing it would be to keep your current home and buy a smaller home now while prices are low and rent one of the houses out. Landlords have it made right now. The vacancy rate is outrageously low, so rents are going up. This is a very vague answer because there are so many unknowns. Maybe your current home is not very valuable in any market and you are wanting to buy a smaller home that's in an expensive area or much newer, then the whole picture is different. You may want to pick a Realtor and discuss your situation in more detail.
Best of Luck,

I had family members have this conversation and they met with their CPA and found that purchasing a home was the way to go for them.
With this in mind, you have lots of great information below as well, but I would do what makes you feel comfortable. While being in a home that you own gives you tax benefits, pride of ownership, and financial growth if you consider moving around and travel a lot you just might want to consider renting.
You may also want to sit down with a trusted Realtor and see what type of properties are available in the desired price point. This might help you make this decision based on the inventory that is out there.
If you have any questions at all that I can be of help in answering, please let me know! I would be glad to have a cup of coffee with you and help bounce some scenarios!

I have a client who is in the same situation. They own a ranch style home on a big lot and wanted to have the freedom to travel without worrying about the maintenance of their home. As the home gets older than they incur repairs. We discussed a contingency where they would find and contract on a lower maintenance home and allow 30 days to sell their home. However contingencies reduce your negotiating power. If you do want to sell and do a contingency for your home than you must be priced competitively to sell quicker and give the seller and quicker close. The best route is to first sell your current home and line-up a short term rental while searching for a new home where you don't have to wait to sell your home to purchase a new home.
So if you are concerned about purchasing due to the economy, there is much investor activity in the market. Investors buy when they believe the market is prime for purchasing. Our interest rates are still historically low and sellers who can afford to sell may not receive the price they desire however they can find value in the market as buyers with a purchase. Historically this real estate market allows buyers to find wealth in future years.
If we as consumers wait to purchase, we will miss the lower interest rates and values. We must keep in mind that inventory is low and that perfect home that is move in ready may be difficult to find however if you are willing to do some remodeling your choices may be more available. There are bank owned and short sales.
We as consumers may not think the market may improve however when is does the interest rates will creep up and home values increase where we home buyers get less for our money.
There are several questions I first ask my clients. When you retire, are you looking for low maintenance i.e. smaller square footage, less yard, etc.? Or do you desire a ranch style home with a main floor master? I see you live in Whittier so I assume it is a 2 story with a master upstairs. I would need to understand why you wish to make a life change with your home.
Regarding the rental market in Denver, it may be difficult to find a rental but not impossible. Our vacancy rates in Denver are very low and make it challenging for many to find a rental. As a result, landlords are able to charge a premium for their rental. I have a client who was looking for a rental in central Denver between $1350 to $2000 monthly. She was interested in 2 properties for rental and both went quickly. She is a perfect tenant. She did eventually find a rental for $2000.
As a result you my end up paying more for a rental due to low vacancy rates and miss the opportunity to buy in a down market.
Please don't hesitate to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me on my cell at 303-885-4639 and I can further consult with you.

Forbes offers some helpful information on this subject.
Premature congratulations! That's wonderful!
If you're in a position to buy a home outright with your equity, then you are in a very good position. The last person I spoke with who was looking into downsizing found that they did not qualify for another mortgage. If you think you qualify for a new mortgage, you want to see if you have that option. Still, getting turned down by one lender is not the final answer. Shop around. It pays.
Plenty of people are thinking ranch home. Fewer stairs to climb is what I hear buyers say. Some people have installed elevators and stair lifts to overcome this inconvenience.
It never hurts to look at your options. Generally, buying makes more sense. I'm sure people do hear real estate people say buying is better a great deal of the time because that is the case. In 73 of 100 markets surveyed, buying is better - and that includes Colorado.
However, this is a buyer's market. Many sellers are not prepared to sell at these prices. They either have a price range firmly fixed in their minds, or they are unable to bring enough money to a closing if they are underwater. Sellers can make it up on the buy side. It's worth exploring.
You might be better off postponing your decision, when you take into account it will cost to move as well as other costs associated with moving to a new home. You might want to work with an agent who understands your objectives and can help you get into the right situation.
I mention this last because they are not for everyone. If you're comfortable with a foreclosure sale or short sale, then you should consider getting into something that is slightly used and may need only a few cosmetic fixes. They exist. Bear in mind, however, that you have to have your financing lined up for a bank-owned property and short sales can take a long time. On the plus side, there are condominiums that are attractively priced. Just keep in mind that the HOA fees are not set in stone and can become expensive for someone on a fixed income.
Retirement should be a time for enjoying grandchildren and relaxing. A mortgage rate and payment are something you can lock in. You can set up an automatic payment and tend to more important things like traveling. You can't say that in all cases with rentals. With mortgage rates at historic lows, you owe it to yourself to look at a purchase.
Also recall that the rental vacancies are not getting better right now. In Colorado, vacancies are at a 10-year low. This might be the case for a while.
I hope that helps. I apologize, but I don't work the Denver area. You should interview several local Realtors.
of Longmont, CO
1) Talk to a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) and have a discussion with them. I think that is the expert I would want to consult. My father and brother are both CPA's and my wife works in the financial planning education industry. A CFP is a better choice for your situation retirement,inheritance, reverse mortgage and estate taxes, etc If you do go this route I'm happy to supply you with a couple of recommendations. Make sure that you get one who charges hourly. A much better choice than one who works on commission and will want to control a lot of your assets.
2) There are several rent vs. buy calculators on the net. Feel free to google and plug in the numbers.
3) A warning is that lots of these factors don't factor into the rent increases. I would HATE to be a renter in Denver over the next few years. The vacancy rate for apartments is 4.8 percent single family homes are around 1.5 percent. RENTS WILL RISE. Even if it makes sense today to rent will it in a few years with higher rents? If you want totest this theory create and ad on Craigslist like you are renting your home and see how many emails you will get.
4) what type of lifestyle do you want and where do you want it? This might be the biggest factor in your decision and only you know the answer. Let me tell you what I would hate in your lifestyle. bBeing faced with increasing higher rents when your income is likely stable or decreasing. How can you deal with it? Move somewhere else. I'm in my early 40's and moving sucks for me. I'd hate to have to do it a couple of times in my 60's or 70's.
5) I'm guessing you have equity in your home, especially if you have live there for a while. When you do sell what are you going to do with that equity? That is why I suggested the CFP. Have you checked the rates on CD's lately. Yikes.
6) No matter what you decide or when you decide you need a real estate agent. By the way I am one :) You need to get an estimate of what your current home will sell for and you should see what you can buy or what you like. This will give you the information you need to make the best decision.
By the way I'd love to work with you on this as there are thousands of people in Denver in your same situation. It is a market niche that I am pursuing. If I could get a great reference from youI'd be happy to work out a discount with you.
No matter what, best of luck
I like Bill's answer below. It's simple and straight forward. But don't forget to
figure tax advantages too. If you are able to deduct a percentage of your
mortgage payment each year from the amount of taxes you owe, deduct that
from the total money you will have going out each year to own a home.
I am not aware of any tax deductions for renting.
I met a man a year ago at a nearby pizza bar and he told me he has always rented. His parents too have
always rented. Why, I asked. He said it was to save money. He said while renting they never have to
pay property taxes. However, property taxes are typically built into a mortgage payment. So, he has
always paid property taxes, but he's paying his landlord's property taxes. He is also making his landlord's
mortgage payment and paying his landlord a profit on top of everything else.
Remember that when you own there are upkeep expenses that you won't have if you rent. So, buy a well
built, newer home, or a home that has been brought up to current code standards and updated, including
current standards for insulation (especially the ceiling) and newer appliances and mechanicals. Be picky.
Good Luck and thanks for asking,

Numbers don't lie.....simply do a cost analysis for each option, weigh in personal desires, and hidden expenses. Be sure to project your residential needs to your life expectancy. Renting a $10,000 a year for 30 years looks like possible projected $300,000 expense.
Renting does have appeal and there are plenty of people choosing this option but in the end even if the property value doesn't appreciate, you'll have some cash equity in the owned home. If you rent the equity will be enjoyed by your landlord....
Good luck,
Trulia did a study, which indicated that it is more affordable to buy in Denver than rent.
However, everyone's situation is different. I would welcome the opportunity to sit down with you to discuss a reasonable price you could expect from your current home as well as what you might want to spend on a new one.
After crunching the numbers, I believe you will have a better idea what will work best for you.
Best of luck,
John Keene
I hope I provoked some thoughts. I would love to help you further. Either way good luck and happy retirement!
You should definitely buy as it is cheaper than renting and you build equity at the same time. If you rent you throw the money away each month.
Call me and I will provide you with more reasons why renting is better. I can also help you find homes that meet your needs cost and other criteria. I will also be glad to give you a free market analysis of your current home

I usually keep acrylics on constantly and they never fail to look 110%!!!

No plans to skip Smoltz in rotation
|07.26.09 at 5:31 pm ET
After John Smoltz allowed six runs in five innings in a 6-2 loss to the Orioles that saw the Red Sox starter's record fall to 1-4 with a 7.04 ERA, the 42-year-old suggested that his stuff is good enough to allow him to perform to expectations. Pitching coach John Farrell said that Smoltz' problem has just been mislocated pitches, primarily his fastball.
"(The issue is) consistency of location. Today, just evaluating the pure stuff, I thought it was more crisp than at any time he's been here this season," said Farrell. "Yet against a good fastball hitting team, he made some mistakes out over the plate, particularly away, that resulted in four extra-base hits. But the action to his slider, which was very much a swing-and-miss pitch for him, was later and sharper and more powerful than it has been. But yet the bottom line is what matters"
While much of the solution lies in simple execution, Farrell suggested that there are tweaks to the approach from which Smoltz might benefit. Foremost, Farrell suggested that he needs to employ his fastball more aggressively inside.
"What do we do from here?" Farrell wondered. "I think there's the ability or the need to pitch in a little bit more. While his stuff is improved over the last outing, or the previous outings, hitters one time through the order can start to look in one area. I think that was what was a little bit the case today, and when he wasn't very fine in his location or in very good quality locations, we saw the results.
"While his velocity is good enough to pitch at this level'clearly it's good enough ' it's not the mid-90s where you have that margin of error that he might be accustomed to," Farrell continued. "To combat that, commanding the baseball on both sides of the plate and not allowing hitters to look in one area solely, is where the improvement or adjustment lies."
Smoltz believes he has the stuff to compete effectively on a team with postseason aspirations. His manager and pitching coach echoed that assessment. As such, Farrell said that the team has no plans to skip Smoltz in the rotation to allow him to iron out his approach.
"At this point, that's not even being considered," said Farrell. "If there was a drop-off physically just through either naked eye or what velocities are telling us, that would be a different situation. But that's not the case. You look at the amount of swing-and-miss he's able to generate, yet because of the consistency of command, he's frustrated."

Christchurch needs colour, not concrete
Relevant offers
I recently visited Wellington and the improvement there since my last visit three years ago is amazing.
I would love to see in Christchurch the kind of modern artworks that can now be found throughout the Waterfront and shopping areas, and beautiful modern buildings such as Te Raukura (the new boatshed).
What I don't want to see is everything done as cheaply as possible, i.e. concrete boxes on top of other concrete boxes.
I would like plenty of colour and greenery - trees, plants everywhere - the Re:Start Container Mall is a good example of what can be done with very little.
The other thing I really don't want to see is new buildings neglected. Don't build and then leave things to get shabby!
Concrete looks awful when it's left to get dirty - like the convention centre before it was damaged in the quakes.

The best racing game to date,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I have owned and played the previous 2 Forza games, I've played previous PGR titles and even enjoyed Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2. None are as in-depth and involved as Forza 3. It is definitely accessible for both beginners and petrol heads alike, and Turn 10, the games developers have managed to strike the right balance so gamers of all abilities can get stuck in and take part in the excitement.
It has an excellent career mode, a great customising mode to add your own designs to the cars you accumulate, designs which can be seen by everyone when you race online. The only thing that was a bit of a let down to me was the so-called 'movie editor', which basically turned out to be a time sliced action replay facility that can be uploaded. There is no such editor, which I thought was part of the hype.
Overall, I really like what they have done with this game, the attention to detail including the crash damage modelling.

You don't know what we've been through...
If you need the Skorupi family I can donate one, as well as a Jellicent, Ambipom, Stunfisk and Accelgor. Thanks again.
@CourageHound I can breed those, but I currently have quite a list to do, hopefully tomorrow. Anyway, just be patient and I'll eventually get to those. As for your donations, I'll take them! As the rules state, you can donate something I have already received. Also, the fact that it's a EM is definitely a bonus.
@Lunicli How about giving me 4 of the Ditto and a Shelmet, and we'll call it good.
@All 3 Of you, I'll contact you individually to arrange the time of our trades.

For years, conservatives have claimed that liberals seek to criminalize Christianity and conservative opinions through imaginary hate speech laws. But today, WorldNetDaily columnist Erik Rush writes that the government should prosecute liberals and members of the press… in order to defend freedom, of course. He accuses journalists of "treasonous collusion" with the Obama administration and said the Founders would have wanted journalists to be "found guilty of high crimes."
"Trials for treason and the requisite sentences would apply," Rush says, "and I would have no qualms about seeing such sentences executed, no matter how severe." He claims that progressives' "seditious, anti-American" speech is "excepted from protection under the First Amendment," hoping that "the political disenfranchisement of liberals, progressives, socialists and Marxists can begin in earnest, and in the open."
Assuming that all goes well and that we are rid of Obama in January, there will be a nation to repair – but what about the causes for this necessity? Yes, many Americans are now cognizant of the fact that progressives have "progressed" America dangerously close to being a Marxist-socialist nation and that we are collectively responsible for not having checked that progress. But aside from grass-roots efforts toward electoral and political reform, there are other widespread, organized threats to America's ongoing concern as a representative republic with guaranteed personal liberties, free speech foremost among them.
Here, I am speaking of the press, the conglomeration of national broadcast, digital and print media organizations that has been incrementally packed with ideological liberals and socialists, and so has disqualified itself as the impartial government watchdog it once was. During my lifetime, I have seen the press become an advance force for social engineering and global socialism. The degree to which they have deceived Americans and enabled the agenda of radicals in recent decades is beyond shame. As former Democratic pollster Pat Caddell said recently, the press has become an enemy of the American people. In the matter of this president, the press largely facilitated the ascension of Barack Obama. The instances wherein they have promoted, shielded and aided him are beyond enumeration.
This goes beyond such things as MSNBC's Chris Matthews and his man crush on Obama – I'm talking about treasonous collusion. One particularly scandalous incident occurred during the second presidential debate, when CNN moderator Candy Crowley made an interjection that appeared to have been as spontaneous as Ambassador Chris Stevens' murder, and which led to a solid point scored for Obama. Most recently, after Mitt Romney brought up Obama's 2009 "Apology Tour," the press did their best to support Obama's claim that this never happened, despite boundless reams of footage that exist chronicling the event.
It is improbable that the framers of the Constitution anticipated a situation in which the press were entirely given over to seditious, anti-American policies. If they had, it is likely that their modus operandi would be similar to that for any faction found guilty of high crimes. Trials for treason and the requisite sentences would apply, and I would have no qualms about seeing such sentences executed, no matter how severe.
This is not likely to occur, however. Radio personality and nascent media mogul Glenn Beck has the intention of putting the establishment press out of business. While I wish him every success, it doesn't seem likely that he will accomplish this through his organizations alone. In addition to the advent of powerful alternative media sources, I believe it will be necessary to codify – or reaffirm – the nature of crimes against the Constitution and the American people. In this manner, we can thwart the designs not only of the press, but all global socialists operating in America.
Those whose speech and actions impinge upon the God-given rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence and codified in the Constitution are, by definition, excepted from protection under the First Amendment (as well as the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment). This is a very important concept to consider, because it is based on these presumptions of protected speech and equal protection for all that progressives and socialists have engaged in their predation upon our liberties.
If these truths can be acknowledged and widely accepted as such (as opposed to progressives' Orwellian interpretations), then the political disenfranchisement of liberals, progressives, socialists and Marxists can begin in earnest, and in the open.
Speaking today at the Values Voter Summit, Rep. Steve King declared that President Obama and "his leftist minions" are working every day "undermining the pillar of American exceptionalism, attempting to bring down the shining city on the hill [and] turn it into rubble."
But, he declared, "we are not going to let them do that" because "we're going to serve God and country, in that order" and defeat Obama in November, which will be a victory for God:
Concerned Women for America's leading "scholar" Janice Shaw Crouse is defending the conviction of three members of the Russian band "Pussy Riot" on charges of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." The three women were sentenced by a Russian court to two years in a prison colony in a decision condemned by the U.S., the E.U. and human rights groups. Their crime was a performance staged in a cathedral in which they beseeched the Virgin Mary to deliver Russia from Vladimir Putin and denounced the increasingly close ties between the state and the Russian Orthodox Church.
In a column today, Crouse defends the convictions, writing that Pussy Riot "insult[ed] Christians" and that the band members should "accept responsibility for your actions" and "repent."
So next time Concerned Women for America complains about the Obama administration's supposed threats to freedom, just remember that they have no problem with Russia imprisoning political activists.
Have the women repented or taken responsibility for their actions? Their formal statements about the incident reveal their utter lack of morality, embrace of a "blame-everyone-but-us" ideology, and disdain for capitalism and individual responsibility. Like their U.S. counterparts, they want "human rights, civil and political freedoms" for themselves but not for Christian believers or anyone else with different beliefs.
The media -- both in Russia and in the U.S. -- ignores the religious bigotry directed at Christianity and, instead, jumps to the defense of anyone who shows intolerance towards the church. It is apparent from the closing statements of the three Russian feminists on trial that they are not sorry for their actions and, in fact, view themselves as the victims, not the Christians that they denigrated. The punk rock group entered the sanctuary with the intent to insult Christians, and when they were held accountable, they claimed that it was someone else's fault.
If you want to rage against that which you perceive to be unjust or unfair, it would go a long way toward credibility to also accept responsibility for your actions.
Last week, People For the American Way Foundation launched a new report, "12 Rules for Mixing Religion and Politics," which offers guidelines for policymakers and advocates seeking to bring faith into political debates.
Joining us at a launch party for the report and a discussion of the issues it raises were Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim in Congress; Sister Simone Campbell, director of the Catholic social justice group NETWORK; and Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
Here are some photos of the event from People For Foundation's Dylan Hewitt:

Washington, DC – The proper role of religion in American politics has been the subject of vigorous – and sometimes toxic – debate for over two centuries. Today, in the midst of campaign-season claims about America's founding as a "Christian nation" and hyperbolic rhetoric about religious persecution, People For the American Way Foundation calls for a more constructive conversation with a new report, 12 Rules for Mixing Religion and Politics, authored by PFAW Foundation senior fellow Peter Montgomery with a foreword by journalist Bill Moyers.
"12 Rules" takes on a number of current debates, including those over required contraception insurance coverage, marriage equality, and the role of religion in the 2012 presidential campaign. This edition builds on earlier releases of "12 Rules" in 1984 and 1994.
The full report can be found online here.
"Religious liberty is at the heart of what it means to be an American, but it is also at the center of some of our fiercest debates," said Peter Montgomery. "How do we balance the constitutional principles of free exercise of religion and the separation of church and state when they come into tension with each other? And how can people of faith bring their religious values into the public arena without turning religion into a political club? As our religious landscape becomes increasingly diverse, it is important that we grapple with these issues in ways that are more constructive than divisive. We hope these Rules for Mixing Religion and Politics will launch many constructive conversations around these topics."
"Our political climate is being poisoned by inflammatory charges of anti-religious and anti-Christian persecution," said Michael Keegan, president of People For the American Way Foundation. "We can look around the world to see what religious persecution looks like, and we think it's wrong to cry wolf over political and policy disputes. We are strong advocates for First Amendment freedoms. But something can be legal without being wise. The principles in this report should be embraced by people of all religious and political beliefswho long for a more respectful and responsible debate in the public arena."
This new edition of "12 Rules" will be launched at an event in Washington, DC featuring a discussion with Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, and Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the first Muslim American elected to Congress.

It has been known for years that Chick-fil-A supports right-wing groups. The company has given out gift cards at the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit. At a recent Religious Right gathering, a speaker talked about how wonderful it was to live and work in Atlanta, where, he said, there's a Baptist church on every corner and the streets are paved with Chick-fil-A.
So I am no fan of Chick-fil-A, but I'm a big fan of freedom, and that includes Chick-fil-A's freedom to open its restaurants, even in cities where progressive political leaders don't like the reactionary politics promoted by the company and its owners.
There's been a robust campaign by advocates for LGBT equality to call more attention to Chick-fil-A's contributions to "traditional family" groups, which total in the millions of dollars. But the feathers really flew when company president Dan Cathy made comments in an interview with Baptist Press bragging about his company's position on marriage – "guilty as charged" -- and his comments to an Atlanta radio station.
I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" said Cathy.
I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about," he added.
It's no surprise that Cathy's comments have stirred supporters of LGBT equality to respond. Much of that response has been in the best traditions of free speech and protest. In Washington, D.C., this week, the Human Rights Campaign organized a protest in front of a Chick-Fil-A food truck. Other activists have rallied outside Chick-Fil-A stores and some students have protested the company's presence on their campuses.
In addition, a number of political leaders have spoken out in defense of marriage equality and in opposition to the company's support for discrimination. Twenty years ago, I would never have imagined elected officials taking the time to publicly criticize a business on behalf of the ability of same-sex couples to get married. It's a good thing – a sign of amazing progress.
But a couple of politicians have gone too far – suggesting that the power of government should be used to prevent the company from opening restaurants based on its political donations and the positions of its owners. That's not a good thing. As a matter of principle, the government shouldn't treat individuals differently based on their political or religious beliefs, or companies based on the political activities and contributions of their owners. As others have noted, we wouldn't want cities or states to have the power to prevent the opening of stores whose owners support LGBT equality or other progressive causes.
People For the American Way's headquarters is located in the District of Columbia, where elected officials have recognized that LGBT people should be treated equally under the law. DC's progressive public policies stand in stark contrast to the anti-equality work of groups like the Family Research Council, but we would never suggest that the DC government could or should have prevented FRC from planting its headquarters in the center of downtown DC. Our commitment to freedom and equality should extend to those who don't share it.
Add this to the good news/bad news mix from the Supreme Court's healthcare decision: Because of the good news (Chief Justice Roberts voted to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act), we get the bad news that his standing among the nation's Democrats has significantly increased. This collective amnesia about who John Roberts is and what he has done is disturbing, especially since the direction of the Court is one of the most important issues upon which Democrats should be voting in November.
A new Gallup Poll shows wild fluctuations in Democrats and Republicans' assessment of Chief Justice John Roberts since their last poll in 2005, a change Gallup attributes to his role in upholding the Affordable Care Act. Roberts' approval rating among Republicans has plummeted 40 percentage points from 2005, falling from 67% to 27%. In contrast, his favorability among Democrats has risen from 35% to 54%. That the healthcare decision is a catalyst of this change is supported by a PEW Research Center poll last week showing that between April and July, approval of the Supreme Court dropped 18 points among Republicans and rose 12% among Democrats.
Yes, John Roberts upheld the ACA, but only as a tax. At the same time, he agreed with his four far right compatriots that it fell outside the authority granted Congress by the Commerce Clause, leaving many observers concerned that he has set traps designed to let the Court later strike down congressional legislation that should in no way be considered constitutionally suspect. He also joined the majority that restricted Congress's constitutional authority under the Spending Clause to define the contours of state programs financed with federal funds.
Just as importantly, Roberts's upholding the ACA does not erase the past seven years, during which he has repeatedly been part of thin conservative majority decisions bending the law beyond recognition in order to achieve a right wing political result. John Roberts cast the deciding vote in a number of disastrous decisions, including those that:
Oh, and then there's that little 5-4 Citizens United opinion that has upended our nation's electoral system and put our government up to sale to the highest bidder.
With a rap sheet like that – and this is hardly a complete a list – no one should be under the illusion that John Roberts is anything but a right-wing ideologue using the Supreme Court to cement his favorite right-wing policies into law.
Next term, Roberts is expected to lead the judicial front of the Republican Party's war against affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act. Whether he succeeds may depend on whether it is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama who fills the next vacancy on the Supreme Court.
Although he voted to block the Senate from considering the DISCLOSE Act yesterday, Senator John McCain is usually a supporter of campaign finance reform. In an interview on PBS Newshour, McCain said that the astronomical contributions of Mitt Romney's major financier, casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, are particularly problematic because those contributions amount to foreign money influencing U.S. elections:
MCCAIN: Mr. Adeleson [sic], who gave large amounts of money to the Gingrich campaign and much of Mr. Adeleson's casino profits, that go to him, come from this casino in Macau.
WOODRUFF: Which says what?
MCCAIN: This which says that obviously, maybe in a round-about way, foreign money is coming into an American campaign, political campaigns.
Regardless of where Adelson acquired his billions, a new report by ProPublica and PBS reveals that Adelson's business dealings may have been improper or even illegal under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, complete with shady dealings with the Chinese mob and crooked politicians. As Think Progress summarizes, Adelson's operation in Macau may have been made possible because of payments to Chinese organized crime figures:
Among the junket companies under scrutiny is a concern that records show was financed by Cheung Chi Tai, a Hong Kong businessman.
Cheung was named in a 1992 U.S. Senate report as a leader of a Chinese organized crime gang, or triad. A casino in Macau owned by Las Vegas Sands granted tens of millions of dollars in credit to a junket backed by Cheung, documents show.
Cheung did not respond to requests for comment.
Another document says that a Las Vegas Sands subsidiary did business with Charles Heung, a well-known Hong Kong film producer who was identified as an office holder in the Sun Yee On triad in the same 1992 Senate report. Heung, who has repeatedly denied any involvement in organized crime, did not return phone calls.
Because Nevada gambling authorities forbid doing any business with organized crime, Sands's Las Vegas gambling licenses could hang in the balance. (Adelson and his company refused to comment for the PBS story.) But Adelson has other issues with his China operations.
Sheldon Adelson has pledged to give up to $100 million to unseat President Obama. But according to one of Adelson's friends, he could spend far more than that: "We think '$100 million, wow!' But it's a meaningless amount of money to [Adelson]."
The system we have today allows for single individuals to give as much potentially money – clean or dirty – as they want to buy an election. This isn't how democracy is supposed to work. Some sunlight is beginning to shine through on how Mitt Romney is benefitting from Sheldon Adelson's shadowy dealings, but the extent of unaccountable money in our elections runs even deeper. Without a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the people will be unable to stop secret contributions by special interests, no matter where the money comes from.
Today, Senate Republicans voted to block the DISCLOSE Act, legislation designed to bring some basic but essential transparency to the electoral system in response to the Supreme Court's flawed Citizens United decision. First proposed in 2010, the DISCLOSE Act would shed light on the secretive outside groups who aim to influence our elections. The Act would require the identification of individuals who give over $10,000 to outside groups that spend money on politics.
"The DISCLOSE Act would help the American people understand who is behind the political messages we're bombarded with every day," said Michael Keegan, President of People For the American Way."Apparently, GOP senators would rather keep the public in the dark about who is bankrolling their campaigns. What do they have to hide? It's telling that even Senators who previously supported strong disclosure laws would today let special interests buy our elections from the shadows instead of standing up for open and honest elections.
"Citizens United opened up the floodgates to unaccountable, unrestricted spending by corporations and special interests to influence our elections. But even the conservative Supreme Court majority that gave us that decision acknowledged that robust disclosure is necessary to preserve the integrity of our elections.
"Today, the Senate had a chance to protect the American people's right to know who is trying to sway their vote. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans chose to protect the anonymity of the wealthy few at the expense of the American public. Considering Mitt Romney's refusal to release years of tax returns and his secret foreign bank accounts, it's beginning to look like the GOP's top priority is keeping money in the shadows. Instead, the Republican Party should embrace transparency – from personal records to political contributions – and bring greater integrity to the democratic process. "
The DISCLOSE 2012 Act is a simple and seemingly-unobjectionable proposal that would require outside groups spending money in elections to disclose their donors and help inform the American people as to who is trying to sway their votes. Yet the proposal faces a slim (read: zero) chance of passage in the Senate this week. It even had partisan support when it was introduced first introduced in 2010 as a response to the Supreme Court's flawed Citizens United decision, and Republican support for general campaign-related expenditures dates back many years.
Not anymore. The Huffington Post notes that there are 14 Republican senators serving since 2000 who previously voted for disclosure, but today would rather protect the anonymity of wealthy special interests and corporations than shed light on the funders of today's endless barrage of attack ads.
These Senators have been whipped into line by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (who was undoubtedly whipped into line by wealthy special interests and corporations who write big checks to Republicans, and would prefer to continue to do so in secret). Senator McConnell himself has flip-flopped on the issue:
Sen. McConnell in 2000: "Why would a little disclosure be better than a lot of disclosure?"
Sen. McConnell in 2012: "[Disclosure is] a cynical effort to muzzle critics of this administration and its allies in Congress."
The Sunlight Foundation has put together a video "depicting" other Republicans' contradictory statements on the DISCLOSE Act. Watch it here:
Next week, the Senate will vote on the DISCLOSE Act, which would bring much needed transparency to the corporate and special interest money that allows the wealthiest few to take over our airways and coöpt our elections. Since the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, corporations have been able to spend freely from their treasuries to overpower the voice of the American people.
While a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United or a change to the composition of the Supreme Court are the only ways to completely reverse that decision, the DISCLOSE Act is a strong step in the right direction.
It's not a new idea. First introduced in 2010 in response to Citizens United, the bill would require groups airing election ads to disclose the source of the money. Because ads can be misleading, it is essential to for voters to know who is behind them in order to properly evaluate the constant inundation of political messages. It is a simple step to increase transparency in our elections.
Of course, the GOP blocked it.
Republicans in Congress weren't always opposed to disclosure. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell once said, way back in 2000, "Why would a little disclosure be better than a lot of disclosure?" Yet after Citizens United, he's dramatically changed his tune, calling disclousre "a cynical effort to muzzle critics of this administration and its allies in Congress."
The Republicans' change in tune isn't surprising, considering that outside spending overwhelmingly favors the GOP.
Mitt Romney raised a lot of money this weekend at a gala fundraiser in the Hamptons, where guests such as the Koch brothers paid up to $50,000 to attend. But according to the Huffington Post, one particular presence that weekend was not on the official guest list: Karl Rove.
Rove was in town to speak at a luncheon promoting his super PAC, American Crossroads, and his affiliated nonprofit group. Because American Crossroads spends its contributors' unlimited donations on ads supporting Mitt Romney (or attacking President Obama), the Romney campaign and Rove are prohibited by law from "coordinating" with each other.
As far as the law is concerned, however, "coordination" is defined narrowly at best. With the Romney event unable to sponsor Rove's luncheon, Solamere Capital, a private equity firm founded by Romney's son Tagg along with Romney's chief fundraiser Spencer Zwick, footed the bill. Many of the attendees at Rove's luncheon, scheduled the day before the official retreat weekend, were also at the campaign fundraiser. As one fundraiser who was at the retreat noted, "It was not a coincidence that the Solamere conference took place in the same city just before the retreat began."
Thanks to Citizens United, corporations and wealthy individuals and special interests can bypass the $2,500 maximum that campaign committees can accept and instead give unlimited amounts to super PACs like American Crossroads, which in turn spent about $300 million this year to support the GOP. Although in its flawed ruling the Court may have intended such outside groups to be independent, the facts just don't support that notion:
"This kind of activity [by Rove] is the last thing the Supreme Court had in mind when it ruled that spending by an outside group had to be 'totally independent' and 'wholly independent' from a candidate the group is supporting with expenditures," Fred Wertheimer, the president of Democracy 21, said in an interview. "The FEC lives in a pure fantasy world in the way it attempts to define coordinated activities as not being coordinated activities."
Citizens United has left us in quite a campaign finance mess – and a constitutional amendment to overturn that decision and related cases is the only path forward to fairer and more transparent elections.
Under the banner of United For the People, a new web platform launched today to collect and amplify the growing grassroots movement in America that is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's flawed 2010 decision in Citizens United and restore the balance of influence in our elections to the people.
At www.peoplestestimony.com, the American people, good government organizations and elected officials can record a short video about how their lives are affected by money in politics and the outsized influence in our elections enjoyed by corporations and wealthy special interests – and what we can do about it.
Here is one such video, by PFAW staff:

At their annual conference in Orlando, the U.S. Conference of Mayors unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, which opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate and special interest spending on elections. Citing Justice John Paul Stevens and the dissenters in the Citizens United case, the mayors' resolution declares the need to "broaden the corruption rationale for campaign finance reform to facilitate regulation of independent expenditures regardless of the source of the money for this spending, for or against a candidate." Finding compelling "fundamental interests" in "creating a level playing field and ensuring that all citizens, regardless of wealth, have an opportunity to have their political views heard," the Conference of Mayors resolves that corporations should not receive the same legal rights as natural persons and that "urgent action" be taken to reverse the impacts of Citizens United in opening the door to unlimited independent campaign expenditures by corporations that undermines "free and fair elections and effective self-governance."
The resolution calls on other communities, jurisdictions and organizations to pass similar resolutions. So far over, over 250 municipalities have already passed resolutions calling for amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United and related cases and returning the power to influence our elections to the people. And more than 1600 public officials have gone on record in support of constitutional remedies to overturn the decision. More than 100 organizations have come together under the umbrella of United For the People to press for amending the Constitution to address the harm caused by Citizens United and related cases.

Augustinian archbishop of Dublin, Ireland. He was born at Leinster, the Son of Murtagh, chief of the Murrays, in Castledermot, Kildare. Taken hostage by King Dermot McMurrogh of Leinster in a raid, Lawrence was surrendered to the bishop of Glendalough. Lawrence became a monk, and in 1161 was named archbishop of Dublin. He was involved in negotiating with the English following their invasion of Ireland, and in 1172 convened a synod at Cashel. He also attended the General Lateran Council in Rome in 1179, and was named papal legate to Ireland. While on a mission to King Henry II of England, Lawrence died at Eu, Normandy, France. He was canonized in 1225.

I'll be serving as the Conference Chair at the Internet of Things Expo (@ThingsExpo), part of the 15th International Cloud Expo in Santa Clara, CA November 4-6.
"Things" can generally be thought of as sensors. The number of sensors sloshing their real-time data through the tubes of the Internet is estimated to be in the trillions soon enough. Thanks to the gift of scientific notation we're able to abstract these gargantuan data flows into the simple matter of measuring bytes to the 15th and 18th power.
Processing, analyzing, and making good use of this data will require an entire new era of hardware development. I haven't yet seen estimates of the number of datacenters - and amount of electricity - that will be required to handle the IoT within the next couple of decades. But I'll be researching this and report back frequently.
The Things revolution is coming hard upon the heels of the current mobile revolution. Data flows have already increased exponentially in the past few years with the 1.5 billion or so smartphones in use. The mobile revolution in itself was thought to be transformative, a quantum leap in how we need to think about the Internet, its literal capacity, and its catalytic capacity for social change.
Mobility is, in turn, part of the ongoing SMAC era: Social, Mobile, Analytics, and of course, the Cloud are what we meant in 2004 in Silicon Valley when we drove around with bumper stickers that read "Please God, Just One More Bubble."
Now, a full decade later, we appear to be in something much more than a bubble. SMAC and IoT may be the James Watt steam engine of the 21st century. And let's remember, the power of Watt's original engine increased by a factor of 1,000 within a century. Maybe the time has finally arrived to start lighting all that dark fiber buried during those Paleolithic dot-com days.
Readers of my work know that a small team and I have been researching ICT's effect on societal progress for the past few years. Mobility is playing the integral role in driving this progress in so many of the 102 nations we analyze, particularly among the developing nations. The Cloud facilitates mobile, social drives it, and analytics seeks to make some sense of it. What effect IoT will have remains to be seen.
In any case, IoT is my thème de l'année for 2014; as always, I look forward to your tweets, emails, calls, comments, and conversations.
The cloud market growth today is largely in public clouds. While there is a lot of spend in IT departments in virtualization, these aren't yet translating into a true "cloud" experience within the enterprise. What is stopping the growth of the "private cloud" market? In his general session at 18th Cloud Expo, Nara Rajagopalan, CEO of Accelerite, explored the challenges in deploying, managing, and getting adoption for a private cloud within an enterprise. What are the key differences between wh...

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform and how we integrate our thinking to solve complicated problems. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, will demonstrate how to move beyond today's coding paradigm ...

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.
