Movers: The first time your cheapo movers don't show up – or drop your stereo on the sidewalk – you realize why it's good to hire professionals. Plus, my experience is that they're faster, so you save on the hourly rate.
Unlicensed contractors: It can be tempting to hire unlicensed contractors to work on your home, and some are good. But I've also had to completely redo projects done by people who claimed they knew what they were doing and didn't.
Car insurance: I know it's expensive, but don't focus on getting the cheapest policy out there. You want to make sure the insurance will actually pay up if you get in an accident. After all, that's the whole point of insurance. Look up the name of the company online and then search "complaints" or "reviews" to see what policyholders have to say.
Shoes: We all know the misery of wearing cheap, poorly made shoes with no cushioning or lining. If you need to save money on shoes, look for a shoe outlet or clearance sale on quality footwear rather than buying cheap plastic. They'll last longer and make your life much more pleasant.
Electronics: Beware of buying cheap, off-brand electronics, especially from an Internet company that might not accept returns. I also avoid buying from places like Big Lots, which might end up with electronics that didn't sell because they're junk. If you buy from Costco, keep in mind that they limit returns on electronics.

Which coffee bean wins the title of "most robust"? If you guessed Robusta, you're absolutely right!As the name suggests, Robusta beans are more robust than the other main type of coffee bean, Arabica, and can be grown at low or high altitudes. Robusta is characterized by a strong note, strong body and very little acidity. It is mainly grown in Vietnam, Brazil and Indonesia.
Want a high dose of caffeine? Generally, Robusta coffee beans deliver twice the amount of caffeine compared to Arabica coffee beans. That makes them perfect for high caffeine blends. They are also used in many soluble coffee products.Robusta coffee beans produce a nice crema (a thin layer of foam) and thus are a great addition to many espresso blends.
So that you can experience the richness of delicious coffee, for many of our NESCAFÉ blends, we use high quality Robusta beans. Some examples include: NESCAFÉ CLASSIC has the unmistakable taste of 100% pure coffee and is made from carefully selected coffee beans picked from the finest plantations, blended and roasted to perfection. NESCAFÉ 3in1 is a perfectly balanced mix of 100% pure soluble coffee, milk and or creamer and sugar that gives you a cup with great coffee taste and aroma. We're committed to sourcing all our coffee beans responsibly, so that you can be assured that every cup of NESCAFÉ coffee is a quality product produced with respect to society and the environment.

SANDY, Ore. (AP) — The cause of a fire at a home in Sandy has not officially been determined, but the fire department says it involved a Christmas tree.
The fire was confined to the living room of the home and caused significant burns to a man who lives there. He's been taken to Legacy Emmanuel Medical Center.
No one else was home at the time Thursday night. The man escaped by jumping out a second-story window and then extinguished the fire with a garden hose with help from of a neighbor.
Fire Department spokeswoman Alice Busch says Christmas trees are extremely hazardous when dry and it doesn't take much to ignite a dry Christmas tree.

Let $G$ be a group and $f,g: G \rightarrow GL(V)$ be two faithful representations over some field $K$ with $f:x\mapsto f(x)$ and $g:x \mapsto f(x^{-1})$.
I would like to find out if $f$ and $g$ are isomorphic. So I need an ismomorphism $\alpha: V \rightarrow V$ with $$\alpha \circ f(x) \circ \alpha^{-1} = f(x^{-1}). $$ What could such an isomorphism be? Does it depend on $K$?
Thank you for hints.
Later edit. As it is not possible to solve this in general: Is there an answer to the example $G=C_p$ cyclic group, $K$ some field of characteristic zero, $f,g$ irreducible representations of degree $> 1$?

What impact do stay at home dads have on children?
I am curious. Because so many more moms are currently forced to work due to our current economical situation and dads are being laid off, I am seeing more and more dads staying home and raising their families while mom works. What impact do you suppose this has on sons and daughters. Because this isn't the "traditional" role - will this have an affect on their own relationships later in life?In Topics: Work/family balance

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM - £240/$320
Canon markets this lens as an 'affordable telephoto zoom with a lightweight design'. Sure enough, it's more compact and 150g lighter than the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, but it's also quite lightweight in features.
The USM autofocus is of the cheaper, motor-based variety that lacks full-time manual focus override. The front element also rotates during focusing, which makes the use of filters like circular polarisers a pain. There's no image stabilisation and build quality feels a bit cheap.
As with many Canon lenses, no lens hood is supplied and the official ET-60 hood costs about £20 extra to buy. Another omission is that there's no focus distance scale. The original version of this lens was launched 20 years ago and even the current Mk III edition has been around for 12 years, having done little to transform itself for the digital age.
Despite its USM credentials, autofocus is ponderous and really struggles in dull lighting conditions. Sharpness is a pretty close match to Canon's more expensive 70-300mm IS lens in the 70-200mm region of the zoom range, but drops off more at longer focal lengths.
Distortions are well controlled throughout the zoom range. Colour fringing is a real problem and very noticeable across much of the image frame when shooting at long focal lengths. As a no-frills option, the lens is fairly cheap, but not particularly good value.
Sharpness test
Taken at ISO 200
Very good through most of the zoom range, but sharpness is disappointing at 300mm and hampered by a lack of stabilisation.
Fringing test
Taken at the minimum zoom
There's very little colour fringing at the shorter end of the zoom range but it can be quite extreme between 250mm and 300mm.
Distortion test
Distortion is well controlled overall, and is the lowest in the entire group at the shortest end of the zoom range.
Image test verdict
Sharpness drops off at 300mm where colour fringing also becomes very noticeable, particularly towards the corners of the frame.

Turkey is fascinating not only for its striking ruins, beautiful coastlines and compelling history, but also for its connections…
It joins the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea, Europe to Asia, and shares its borders with many nations. Turkey's geography is complex. It sits on the Mediterranean with a small section in southeastern Europe separated by the Turkish Straits. It shares borders with eight other nations. The Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Bosporus divide the country into Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia (Anatolia).
The country has more than 24,000 miles of coastline as well as peat bogs, heathlands, and steppes. About a quarter of the land is covered with forest, and it has some 10,000 plant species with one in three endemic to Turkey. It is also home to the amazing rock formations known as fairy chimneys in Cappadocia.
Turkey's dramatic physical presence is only part of the story. It has seen a parade of cultures pass across its lands…Carian, Leleges, Persian, Dorian, Helen, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. It is the legendary final landing place for Noah's Ark.
From Istanbul's skyline of domes and minarets, to the first century Ionian city of Ephesus, to a luxurious spa on a private beach in Bodrum, Turkey has riches enough for everyone from the first-time visitor to the seasoned, repeat traveler.

OBJECTIVE: Research in the USA has demonstrated numerous associations between adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and smoking behaviour; however, no specific work on this topic has been done in Switzerland. The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about the association between ADHD and tobacco consumption in a Swiss sample of adult ADHD patients. METHODS: The study subjects were recruited from patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of ADHD consecutively presenting to the ADHD consultation service at the Centre for Addiction Disorders, an outpatient facility of the Zurich University Hospital, between September 2000 and January 2006. Complete data could be obtained from 100 of 134 patients presenting to the service. RESULTS: The number of current smokers in the ADHD sample was significantly elevated compared to the Swiss general population (55 vs 31%). Additionally, daily smokers in the ADHD sample smoked significantly more cigarettes per day, reported higher levels of nicotine dependence and started to smoke regularly at a significantly younger age. The motivation to quit smoking was high. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this Swiss study are consistent with previous research in the USA. The fact that many adults with ADHD are motivated to quit smoking and that they actually make use of support in quitting is crucial for secondary tobacco prevention.

A 22-story hotel is under construction on the Rincon reservation in northeast county, part of a $165 million resort and casino expansion project. It's the tallest hotel in the Valley Center and Fallbrook area.
There will be 459 rooms and 87 suites, 36 of which will have balconies over the pool area with mountain views, according to tribal chairman John Currier. Construction began in November and is expected to be completed by the end of the year, he said. The new hotel dwarfs the existing, four-story hotel that once had 201 rooms. Some of the rooms are being converted into suites or are being turned into a VIP lounge.
The project includes a four-level, 1,200-space parking structure, and a 12,000 square-foot casino expansion. When completed, the casino will be 59,000 square feet. A new gift shop, and swimming pool and spa areas are planned.
The general contractor is O'Neil Construction. The architect is the Paul Steelman Design Group in Las Vegas.
Overall, the total cost of building and expanding the resort is $350 million.
In 1999, the Rincon San Luiseno Band of Mission Indians entered a tribal-state gaming compact -- or agreement -- with California to have slot machines.
The Harrah's Rincon Resort and Casino has 1,600 slot machines but can have up to 2,000, Currier said. State officials have said no more licenses are available. The tribe plans to build a fire station and is out to bid for an architect. Rincon also is setting aside a 12-acre site for a future sports complex. The tribal hall is slated for rehabilitation, according to Currier, who has been chairman for more than five years. "Our tribal hall's really in a dilapidated condition," he said.
Pala Casino Resort & Spa, on the reservation to the north of Rincon, completed a $110 million expansion project in July 2003.
The project's new 678,808-square-foot resort includes a 10-story, 507-room hotel tower, 30,000 square feet of convention space, two restaurants, an Olympic-size swimming pool and two entertainment venues. The project also included a four-level, 503-car parking structure and 63,507-square-foot expansion and renovation of the existing casino.
The design phase began in January 2002. Construction started in July 2002. "Right now, we're trying to absorb what we have," said tribal chairman Jerry Turk. "We're exploring another restaurant, adding square footage to the casino."
The casino has 2,000 slot machines, the maximum allowed under the tribal gaming-state compact, and 85 tables.
The Las Vegas-based Friedmutter Group was the architect.
The Friedmutter Group has designed and assisted in the successful opening of more than $2 billion worth of hospitality, casino and entertainment facilities across the nation, in the past three years, according to the company.
Most of these projects are done on a fast-track basis, said Chuck Jones, a vice president of the company. About 40 percent of Friedmutter's business is with Native Americans across the country, he said.
On-reservation projects are similar to those in the public sector.
"The relationship with the Native Amercian arena is a very respectful one," Jones said, adding that his company is an associate member of the National Indian Gaming Association.
The Perini Building Co. was the general contractor. The company's other tribal gaming projects in California include Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula; Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln; Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez; and Morongo Casino, Resort and Spa in Cabazon.

New Vanguard Study Says You Can Beat The Market But Doesn't Say How
Unbeknownst to many non-Finance nerds, Vanguard runs plenty of actively-managed funds in addition to its renowned line-up of index funds. Indeed, some of these Vanguard funds (Such as the Windsor and Wellington Funds) are perhaps just as famous as its 500 index fund. This implies two things to me: a.) Vanguard as an institution still places at least a little faith in the science/art of active portfolio management and b.) Vanguard probably expends a lot of effort on researching active strategies.
So it is.
A Breakthrough Study!
In a new study (opens as a pdf), Vanguard definitively answers the question we already knew the answer to: yes, sometimes if you are really, really good and lucky you can beat the market! Okay, that's not exactly what the study says and it contains a few worthwhile insights. Let's break it down.
Core And Explore Explained
Vanguard's point revolves around the old core-and-explore theory of portfolio management. Traditionally, this has meant you should index within asset classes characterized by a very efficient market (large-cap U.S. and developed market stocks, for instance) and opt for active management in "less efficient" market segments (such as emerging markets, micro caps, etc).
Vanguard's Take On Core And Explore
Vanguard turns this logic on its head, noting the data shows that indexing works very well in all market segments regardless of their reputed "efficiency." Since the data clearly supports the notion that indexing is just as effective in, say, emerging markets as in the domestic market, indiscriminately opting for active management in for the developing market portion of your portfolio is unlikely to pay off. Rather, Vanguard's approach is to focus on identifying talented and low-cost managers regardless of the part of the market they work in. That is, a talented manager in the large-cap U.S. stock space probably has a better chance of beating his benchmark than a below-average manager in the emerging market small-cap segment.
Making extensive use of back-testing, Vanguard's findings lead some credence to their theory. Academics have long known that active managers do, on average, provide value through their stock-picking services. The kicker is that they don't provide enough value to overcome the prices they charge! Put another way, the average stock-picker does seem to exhibit some small amount of skill. Unfortunately, the rewards will go directly into the skilled manager's pocket and not to investors. This actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. In an efficient market, the rewards of any endeavor are likely to go to the person who possesses this rare and special skill (talented stock picker) rather than to those who lack any special skills (mutual fund investors). Finding stock pickers who are both talented and who fail to charge a fee commensurate with their abilities is extremely difficult. Still, they do exist according to the research published by Vanguard.
But How Do You Find Skilled Managers?
Vanguard does give us a hint-a very important hint, in fact. If you want to increase your odds of beating the market, you're more likely to find skilled stock pickers amongst the lowest-cost managers on the market and not the highest. This follows intuitively if you realize, as we do above, that stock pickers on average do out-perform the market slightly before accounting to fees. Since management skill is so difficult to come by, if your goal is to beat the market it makes much more sense to cut expenses rather than push for yet more skilled managers (which may not even exist!).
So far so good. We know that, all else being equal, we should look for skill amongst low-cost managers. But that's not really enough information to consistently pick a winning mutual fund. Low costs will certainly increase your odds, but will they be enough to tip the scales in your favor? Probably not, especially not if the manager is "cheap for a reason," so to speak. You've got to find a way to determine which of the cheap managers is undervalued and which are just bad. Unfortunately, Vanguard doesn't provide us with any guidance here, making the study in-actionable mostly worthless. I suppose you could use past performance to try to identify which managers are likely to out-perform going forward, but a veritable mountain of evidence convinces us that's a losing strategy.
So what's the deal, Vanguard? Are you going to give us the recipe for your secret sauce or not? I'll pay good money for it. Until then, I'll continue to stick with index funds.

It is a well known fact that short term memory loss and cognitive decline are the distinguishing features of Alzheimer disease (AD), however, currently there is some speculation that recall may be encouraged when accompanied by emotional stimuli.
Due to the increasing number of older adults being diagnosed with Alzheimer disease, the need to find meaningful and enjoyable activities in which people with AD successfully engage is important for providing as good a quality of life as possible, while concurrently preventing behavioral difficulties that often accompany the disease.
As of 2008, there were approximately 30 million people with dementia worldwide. By 2050, it is projected that this figure will have increased to over 100 million.
This increase will represent an enormous strain on families, healthcare and social service providers, and the nurses who care for patients with AD. Agitation and other behavioral problems often accompany AD, which increases this strain. It is imperative that healthcare researchers find effective means to help address behavioral problems for those with AD and their caregivers. By providing emotionally engaging, stimulating, and, most of all, meaningful activities for adults with AD, agitation and accompanying behavioral problems may be diminished thereby improving the quality of life for individuals with AD and their caregiver.
Furthermore, throughout much of the course of the illness, those with Alzheimer's disease remain very capable of giving and receiving love, of sharing warm interpersonal relationships, and of participating in a variety of meaningful activities with family and friends.
The capacity to experience in many ways the dampened rationality of the person with Alzheimer's disease enhances emotional sensitivity and means that the person tends to communicate more on an emotional level. The person is very aware of the emotions and moods of others, and often very susceptible to picking up these moods. If a happy and light hearted mood is set by the caregiver, this spreads to the person. Conversely, in long-term care, if one resident on a dementia unit becomes upset, it doesn't take long to spread to others. When we are angry or frustrated they will feel it and may also become upset. Be aware of facial expression, voice tone and language, so as not to convey any negative personal emotion to the person with Alzheimer's Disease .
There are many activities that encourage non-verbal emotional expression. For example:
• Caring for plants or pets (express feelings of caring, affection, satisfaction, responsiveness from living things);
• Listening to favourite music or singing (recalls the feelings associated with the music);
• Repetitive, physical activity such as walking, digging the garden, or shredding papers for recycling (provide a release for feelings of frustration);
• Holding hands, hugging, brushing hair, rubbing on hand cream or other adult uses of touch (acceptable, adult expressions of caring and concern);
• Simple household chores, such as dusting, drying dishes, or preparing vegetables (enhances feelings of usefulness and self-worth).
It is important to let people know that you are aware of their feelings. Read non-verbal cues (e.g. facial expression) and the tone of the voice to determine the nature of the feelings, then check it out with them by saying something like, "John, you seem to be very upset. Is that true?" Then, "Are you upset because..........?" Even if you can't determine the source of the upset, letting the person know that you realize how they are feeling often helps reduce distress.
Emotional memory
Emotional memory is the memory of the feelings associated with an event, as opposed to the facts of the event. Emotional memory is a persisting asset of persons with ADRD. This asset can be capitalized on by ensuring that activities and self-care routines have positive emotional associations, thereby encouraging future participation. Previous happy emotional memories can be triggered by using reminiscence materials and other positive emotional cues such as favourite songs, pieces of clothing, pictures, or foods.
Emotional memory and Alzheimer disease
It is a well known fact that short term memory loss and cognitive decline are the distinguishing features of Alzheimer disease (AD), however, currently there is some speculation that recall may be encouraged when accompanied by emotional stimuli.

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
To even mention (or hedge a question) on the concept of shutting down government and defaulting on our debt as a political tactic to get what you want is going three bridges too far. Yet, that is exactly what Republican House leadership is saying. They will hold hostage our fragile but progressing recovery, in the name of scoring political points. Incredible:
Cantor Refuses To Take Government Shutdown Or Default On U.S. Debt Off The Table
In an interview with Fox News Sunday this morning, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), the #2 Republican in the House, threatened to take the nation's economy hostage if President Obama does not comply with House GOPers' as yet undefined demands. When asked if he would take a government shutdown on forcing the United States to default on its debt off the table, Cantor responded that it would somehow be President Obama's fault if House Republicans press this agenda:QUESTION: Are you willing to say right now we're not going to let the country go into default, and we won't allow a government shutdown?
CANTOR: Chris, look at this now. The chief executive, the president, is as responsible as any in terms of running this government. The president has a responsibility, as much or more so than Congress, to make sure that we are continuing to function in a way that the people want.
The entire security of the world economy hinges on government-backed debt. The "Full Faith and Credit of the United States of America" is not just a term bandied about by elite economists. It is the backbone of our entire economy, and the economy, now, of an interconnected world. It was shocking back when Bush said that Social Security debt was "just IOUs" - they aren't, they are the same debt bonds that China, or Europe, or businesses buy, backed by the Full Faith and Credit of the United States of America. That default would have caused severe crisis with our debtors - just as defaulting on our debt to other nations and businesses would destroy our economy now. Imagine calling up your mortgage company and telling them you intend not to pay anything back. Now, imagine the value of your entire existence plunging right after you do this. This is essentially what Cantor is threatening to do.
To even hint at default in the offering as a political tactic is to jeopardize our entire national interest. It is treasonous. This is who you elected, America. Let's hope this doesn't come to pass, or you can kiss the jobs recovery goodbye.
Addendum - remember, Reagan said he doesn't negotiate with terrorists and hostage takers. So, what is this, then??
Addendum II - Also recall, Congress appropriates funds. By saying "the president has a responsibility, as much or more so than Congress, to make sure that we are continuing to function in a way that the people want" is to state that you abdicate getting the funds appropriated to cover the debt at your convenience - the President has no say on enacting the budget except to sign. This is obviously a threat for him to capitulate to what they demand, or else.
Everyone's worried about deficits when what we need to really worry about is growth and employment, which are the best tools for dealing with deficits. Instinctively people associate the lack of GDP productivity with the country's debt, but these things are not always related nearly as directly as is thought.
…running a fiscal deficit during an economic downturn can be a useful tool of macroeconomic policy is part and parcel of the belief that deficits do matter and that contrary to the practice of the Ronald Reagan and George W Bush administrations we should not run large structural deficits over the course of the business cycle.
…deficits matter for a specific reason. If the government tries to borrow a huge amount of money, investors will start demanding generous interest rates in exchange for lending. And if investors can get high rates lending to the government, which is safe, they'll start demanding even higher rates of non-government borrowers. That becomes a problem for the private sector.
.,,But those are specific reasons. We're not currently in a situation where Fed action to keep interest rates low is producing an undesirably large quantity of inflation. Inflation is currently below two percent and has been below two percent for a while. So there's not currently any problem with running a large deficit. On the contrary, we have a problem whereby a large number of able-bodied adults and other potentially valuable resources are lying idle.
…It's unfortunate that America wracked up a giant debt load in the 2000s rather than staying on the late-nineties trajectory, but that unfortunate fact doesn't alter the basic logic fiscal logic of a downturn.
Mitch McConnell is on record not once but twice as saying that the primary objective of the GOP coming out of the election is to ensure that Obama is a one-term President.
Meanwhile, Robert Reich wonders whether it's part of the GOP strategy to keep the economy "anemic" until the 2012 elections.
Seems to make sense: Ramp up the Fox spin machine, continue to blame the White House, and then take credit for the recovery once they've recaptured the White House and both houses of Congress.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
I didn't like this cheap insult when it came from the Bushies, and I don't like it from you.
The Republicans aren't not teaming up with America's wartime enemies, or waging war against the country. They're just wrong on policy, and lousy and governing.
Dial it back.
I think threatening to throw us into a real Great Depression counts for using the rhetoric.
Do you have any idea just how BAD even hinting you MIGHT do this is?? It's serious. Very serious.
I think threatening to throw us into a real Great Depression counts
No, it doesn't. Treason has a specific meaning, and governing badly, even irresponsibly, ain't it. How many times were you accused to treason during the Bush years?
Do you have any idea just how BAD even hinting you MIGHT do this is?? I understand exactly how bad it is. It's gross negligence in governing, not treason.
The penalty for treason is execution. This is Limbaugh territory, and you should stay away from it.
I understand the reaction Joe, and to an extent I sympathize. However, I've got to wonder how this would really look in hindsight. I've got to wonder if people, after the fact, learned that the origin of the greatest depression the country ever saw (and make no mistake here, that is definitely on the table with a national default) was traceable to the knowing, deliberate acts of a few, how many would call them this in retrospect? And if it seems reasonable (if loaded) in retrospect, isn't deliberate avoidance of the term beforehand really a failure of imagination? Just imagine it from the other side of the event. Imagine the calamity and then the pain and anger that come with it. Imagine the country stewing in it for years if not decades. Imagine that it was really possible to point the finger to specific individuals responsible for it.
This is exactly the thing that John Stewart was speaking to with his Rally to Restore Sanity (which Lynne said was a farce since it's only the right that is guilty of the insanity). If you use rhetoric calling your political opponents terrorists or accusing them of treason it just becomes noise vs. political discourse. Even if I agree, I have to cover my ears sometimes to block out the shrillness of the delivery.
What the Republicans are threatening stinks but they are not terrorists, they are bullies. Calling them terrorists reduces the strength of the argument.
I understand that the word treason in inflammatory. I was originally with you guys in wanting to back away from that particular word. Also, I certainly don't think the term's actual technical legal definition would apply. And I don't think people in favor of a Republican economic agenda in general are treasonous at all.
However, the specific policy being talked about here would kneecap the nation's economy with probably the worst single economic event we've ever faced. That being said, when searching for a word describing such a policy and such an event in the context of one's sense of patriotism, it's hard to avoid the term. I mean, describing it as merely stupid and disloyal doesn't seem to cut it and would seem to ignore the knowing intent. After thinking that the term was overreaching, I tried to put myself in the shoes of people looking back at such an event during the immediate aftermath and I had to admit that anyone from the future describing, after the fact, the people who deliberately kneecapped the economy might use the term believably.
Now if you just want to describe it as stupid and incredibly misguided and lacking the intent to knowingly cause calamity, then I doubt treasonous would be apt in any way. So you have to ask yourself, does Cantor really think national default wouldn't kneecap the country? I actually think he's smarter than that. If so, he's deliberately waving around policy that, while certainly red-meat to the econ101-challenged fringe of his base, would certainly be described by many (arguably legitimately) future sufferer's of the policy's consequences as treasonous.
Like I said, I think he's smarter than that. So while I think enacting the policy might actually be legitimately described as so horrible as to make the label apt, I also think he's just being a craven panderer to his base in a way he has every intention of failing to follow through on. But that doesn't change that the act itself, if followed through on knowing the consequences, would be monstrous.
I don't care which party is in power or who's president - actively trying to sink the economy has to be described at least in the same neighborhood as treasonous. Had Gould & Fisk's actions not been mitigated by Grant's release of reserves, I could definitely see the word treasonous used to describe them in the aftermath of a collapse of the greenback.
"So you have to ask yourself, does Cantor really think national default wouldn't kneecap the country?"
He actually thinks that using the threat of default as a political tool wouldn't kneecap the country.
Look back at this post. "To mention (or hedge a question) about default…" THAT is what Lynne is calling treason. To mention, or hedge a question.
If we start throwing around the Big Three - Nazi, Treason/Traitor, Terrorist - then we have no right to complain when the other side does.
So we're really talking about only a threat you think.
What exactly is the relationship between someone who says "Enact my policies or the economy gets it." and the concept of patriotic loyalty?
Look at it this way. Standing on the senate floor and saying "I'm going to overthrow the government" is not treason. You have to actually do it to get that title.
Mr. Lynne,
Oh, I'm fine with calling Cantor's action unpatriotic. I'm fine with hostage metaphors.
I'm not fine with the Big Three. They have no place as political metaphors.
Mill Girl, that totally misses several distinctions. Overthrowing the government is an enshrined constitutional right born out through the vote. Indeed, the ingenious part of our system when it was enacted was institutionalizing everyone's ability to overthrow their government.
This guy isn't talking about "enact my policies because they are right", we're talking about "enact my policies or I'll hurt everyone, including people who agree with me. I'll burn the house down." It's an economic suicide bomber.
Mr. Lynne. I was just making a simple point. Saying that you'll shut down the government is not the same as actually doing it. Using the word treason for the former dilutes the effect of the word if the latter actually occurs.
Shutting down the government would actually be not nearly as damaging as what Cantor proposes. I wouldn't consider the threat or even the act as treasonous (just hazardous). Threatening to bring down the whole house of cards - the government and all the citizens - is different by orders of magnitude. So much so, that were it to happen, people might feel very justified in calling the act treasonous because its that monstrous. If it's just rhetoric (and I don't think it is to many that Cantor' is aiming this particular dog whistle at), then it's rhetoric born of monstrosity that goes way beyond "I want to change the government" and "I'm willing to shut down the government". This is "I'm willing to burn us all".

For most of the last year, fans have been screaming for Daniel Bryan to finally get a push as the WWE champion. Now that he has the title, WWE officials believe the crowds might be tired of Bryan already. PWS reported on Sunday that some WWE officials feel that Daniel Bryan has already "plateaued" and fans care more about the "Yes" chant than about Bryan himself.
One interesting thing to note is that Bryan has not even held the title through a pay-per-event yet. Plus there is the fact that since "Wrestlemania 30," he has gotten married and went on his honeymoon. Then his dad died and he took off for that, with only a Kane beat down occurring. There is no way the WWE can judge whether or not Bryan has lost his heat until he gets a chance appear regularly.
The reports also say that Daniel Bryan has no ego backstage. This is also supposed to be harmful because he doesn't speak up to defend himself to creative. Where a bad ego is just as bad in some cases, in the WWE an ego has helped names like Shawn Michaels and CM Punk remain on top.
At "Wrestlemania 30," Daniel Bryan beat Triple H in a singles match. He then won a triple threat, despite Triple H trying to interfere, by making Batista tap out. Now, it sounds like Batista is leaving the WWE for his "Guardians of the Galaxy" promotion early because the WWE wanted him to lose to Bryan again at "WWE Payback." It sounds like Bryan is ruining a lot of the WWE plans because he has become so popular.
Now, Daniel Bryan fans need to be louder than ever, and not just by chanting "Yes." Bryan's fans need to let the WWE know they want him to remain on top, or the WWE might make his title reign short and unmemorable. It all starts at the "WWE Extreme Rules" special event tonight on the WWE Network. A tame fan response might end the Daniel Bryan WWE world title reign sooner than expected.

Expand Learning Settings
Create instruction arrangements where learners are positioned away from potential distractions, hallway, doors, windows, or objects that light up or make noise easily. Surround them with messages, visuals, and others who exhibit healthy behavior, with hopes of them learning from praised behavior, language and routines. Equip yourself and the learning environment in such a way that you can circulate freely and engage —make sure to give praise, verbal cues, and ask open ended questions as needed to reinforce positive redirection and responses. Create enthusiasm in your presentation (s): share a funny story, encourage learners to make a prediction. Use dry erase boards for responses, music, or instruments to maintain attention. Invite a guest who connects with lesson's goals. Whenever possible, plan lessons around interest and relevant topics. Provide multiple teaching methods. Create pledges of the week that share a summary of the week's lessons; Use candy or popcorn to help solve problems during instructional guided practice.
At Home
Make learning active. Encourage multiple resources to be involved with homework. Have learner to have more than one resource to turn to for help. For example, a dictionary and an older sibling are two resources. Present strategies to help with reading comprehension such as underlining reading materials with colored pencils or draw cartoons to illustrate vocabulary words. Teach self-monitoring. Help learner become aware of the things that cause distraction; questions to answer when distractions happen; With consistency, time, and practice, student will get to know what being distracted feels likes and looks likes for them; each will recognize when their attention is going away. Through direct classroom experience, learners with focus and engagement challenges benefit from modeled behavior of reachable goals through participating and focusing on a lesson.
Play attention-boosting games. Select games such as Memory, Simon Says and musical chairs, where listening and focus are the key to play and tie in the content that is of the learning goal! Research suggests changing the location where games are played create positive outcomes. Reports state students who play memory-rooted games have good outcomes. Encourage different learning settings. Spend time outdoors. Recent studies link time spent outside, especially in natural environments, with improved concentration. For example, students can create "prep practice" before beginning a student group project such as taking a walk, doing a breathing exercise, or a brief stretching routine.
Maintain water intake every day. Water creates a productivity boost. Water provides the body with fluid to have refreshment, alertness, and concentration. Additionally, a study conducted at University of East London, concluded students who bring water into exams may improve their grade by keeping them hydrated. The study suggested H20 promotes clearer thinking.
Practice a Sleep Routine. According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep is essential for a person's health and well-being. When an individual is well-rested, it often reaps productive results in several life areas.

We're all familiar with those notoriously hideous holiday-themed sweaters that always seem to permeate the season. Exorbitant sequins, cheesy patterns, and embellished collars are hallmarks of this true fashion faux pas. Despite a rather unimpressive track record, real fashion-friendly sweaters do exist and there's even a range of price points from designer to mass retailers. So, take a stylish cue from the following celebs and get decked out in some truly fashionable festive gear.
Ashley Madekwe
Red is certainly a hot color this time of year and Ashley's trendy Tory Burch Madeline peplum sweater serves as a vibrant way to embrace the bold hue. Don't be afraid of pairing this polished sweater with equally eye-catching bottoms or playing it safe with conservative slacks.

Jessica Alba
Jessica took a much more lighthearted approach, courtesy of this Alice + Olivia Fall 2012 gray sweater. Its embellished black tie and collar detail makes this top a fun way of dressing up for holiday parties, even if you skip the graphic accessories.

Kate Bosworth
Isabel Marant's colorful and undoubtedly comfy sweaters have become star favorites. Kate's Lucy Aran version is a true statement piece that looks great with dark skinny jeans and structured boots.

Taylor Swift
The classic white polka dot pattern on Taylor's French Connection creation could be mistaken for snowballs. Maroon Theory pants helped make the singer's outfit even more season-appropriate. Follow her preppy lead by adding in pearls and bow-accented ballet flats.

Selma Blair
Selma kept it casual as she and son Arthur visited a friend in West Hollywood. Her wool and cashmere-blend navy Johanna Snowflake-Print sweater by Joie, was anchored by funky tan moccasin-style footwear.

Just because you wear a festive sweater, doesn't mean you have to give up your edge. Pink toughened up this white, red, and black crewneck while out shopping in Malibu by sporting cutoff black pants, hefty black boots, and a matching hat.

Victoria Justice
A lot of printed sweaters can also work well for the holidays. Take Victoria's Pinkyotto Sound Waves sweater, which doesn't exactly conform to traditional seasonal fare. With its dominant red color and the right pair of boots, this unconventional selection can make any spirit bright.

Leigh Lezark
This red and black Topshop Unique knit sweater is guaranteed to keep you warm all season long. Leigh layered on the leather, but even a sleek pair of jeans will nicely complement this cozy creation. Her bold red lip is a definite keeper, though.
