Distilled for Purity
Purity like no other MSM
Bergstrom Nutrition's focus on purity sets OptiMSM apart. Bergstrom Nutrition pioneered the distillation process of MSM to ensure the highest levels of purity and safety. Today, the distillation we use for purification is still recognized by chemical engineers and other experts as the most superior method on the market.
Purification is an essential step in the production of MSM, and Bergstrom Nutrition® sets the gold standard in the industry. We start with the best quality raw materials, then utilize a four-stage distilling process to ensure optimal purity.
Crystallization and distillation are the two methods manufacturers commonly use to purify MSM. Chemical engineers recognize distillation, which was pioneered by Bergstrom Nutrition, as the superior purification method. Many manufacturers chose crystallization because it is a cheaper process, but we won't compromise purity for the sake of economics. Only Bergstrom Nutrition MSM is guaranteed to be positively pure through purification by distillation.
MSM Distillation Method
Bergstrom Nutrition's proprietary four-stage distillation process uses heat to separate impurities and by-products of manufacturing based on their unique boiling points. MSM's boiling point of 478° F (248° C) allows pure MSM to be isolated from solution. In addition to being a very pure product, distilled OptiMSM has a low moisture content, which reduces the risk of microbial contamination and product degradation.
Crystallization Method
Unlike Bergstrom's distillation method, MSM purified by crystallization can develop occlusions in the crystals as they form that entrap contaminants present in the solution, resulting in decreased purity.
A Difference You Can See
Crystallized MSM is highly dependent on both the quality of the water and raw materials, because a "wash and centrifuge" process is used to separate impurities and manufacturing by-products. As crystals form, occlusions develop that can entrap contaminants present in the solution.
By contrast, Bergstrom Nutrition's exclusive four-stage distilling process uses heat to separate impurities and manufacturing by-products, allowing 99.9% pure MSM to be isolated from the solution. In addition to being a very pure product, our distilled MSM has a low moisture content, which reduces the risk of microbial contamination and product degradation.
The Bergstrom Nutrition "Triad of Purity"
- Low Water Content <0.1%
- Specific Melting Point 109.5º Celsius
- High Volatile Purity >99.8%

Amazon.com Review
Icarus is the second novel by Russell Andrews, the nom de plume of book editor Peter Gethers and mystery novelist David Handler. Like their first one, Gideon, Icarus is relentless in its suspense and pacing. Jack Keller is a likable and believable protagonist. Unfortunately, most of the other characters in the book lack enough depth to be much more than cartoon characters; Keller's wife, in particular, seems like a lonely teenager's fantasy of the ideal woman. Still, as a straightforward action thriller, this book delivers, with enough plot twists and turns to keep the avid mystery reader guessing right up to the end. --Perry M. Atterberry

Over two-thirds of terrestrial carbon is stored belowground and a significant amount of atmospheric CO2 is respired by roots and microbes in soils. For this analysis, soil respiration (Rs) data were assembled from 31 AmeriFlux and CarboEurope sites representing deciduous broadleaf, evergreen needleleaf, grasslands, mixed deciduous/evergreen and woodland/savanna ecosystem types. Lowest to highest rates of soil respiration averaged over the growing season were grassland and woodland/savanna < deciduous broadleaf forests < evergreen needleleaf, mixed deciduous/evergreen forests with growing season soil respiration significantly different between forested and non-forested biomes (p < 0.001). Timing of peak respiration rates during the growing season varied from March/April in grasslands to July–September for all other biomes. Biomes with overall strongest relationship between soil respiration and soil temperature were from the deciduous and mixed forests (R2 ≥ 0.65). Maximum soil respiration was weakly related to maximum fine root biomass (R2 = 0.28) and positively related to the previous years' annual litterfall (R2 = 0.46). Published rates of annual soil respiration were linearly related to LAI and fine root carbon (R2 = 0.48, 0.47), as well as net primary production (NPP) (R2 = 0.44). At 10 sites, maximum growing season Rs was weakly correlated with annual GPP estimated from eddy covariance towersites (R2 = 0.29; p < 0.05), and annual soil respiration and total growing season Rs were not correlated with annual GPP (p > 0.1). Yet, previous studies indicate correlations on shorter time scales within site (e.g., weekly, monthly). Estimates of annual GPP from the Biome-BGC model were strongly correlated with observed annual estimates of soil respiration for six sites (R2 = 0.84; p < 0.01). Correlations from observations of Rs with NPP, LAI, fine root biomass and litterfall relate above and belowground inputs to labile pools that are available for decomposition. Our results suggest that simple empirical relationships with temperature and/or moisture that may be robust at individual sites may not be adequate to characterize soil CO2 effluxes across space and time, agreeing with other multi-site studies. Information is needed on the timing and phenological controls of substrate availability (e.g., fine roots, LAI) and inputs (e.g., root turnover, litterfall) to improve our ability to accurately quantify the relationships between soil CO2 effluxes and carbon substrate storage.

Wheat May Extend Gains Through First Quarter, U.S. Group Says
Wheat prices may extend gains and trade at high levels through early 2011 as crop downgrades in Australia, the fourth-largest shipper, add to supply concerns, a U.S. Wheat Associates executive said.
"The market may need to go higher before it is all over with," Vince Peterson, the group's vice-president of overseas operations, said in an interview in Perth. "We are going to be in these higher ranges at least through the first quarter."
Wheat prices surged to a two-year high in August after Russia, the third-largest exporter last year, banned shipments amid the country's worst drought in half a century. Wet weather is downgrading crops in Australia and delaying the harvest after rainfall had earlier damaged crop quality in Germany and Canada.
"There were a lot of buyers that were waiting for the southern hemisphere crop in Argentina and Australia to come in to see if that would moderate prices a little bit, but the situation has just done the opposite," Peterson said. Increased demand for wheat from the U.S., the largest shipper, will depend on the Australian harvest, he said.
Wheat for March delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade rose 0.6 percent to $7.89 a bushel at 12:23 p.m. in Singapore after rising to a four-month high of $8.11 on Dec. 7. The price has gained 46 percent this year.
'Fragile' Market
"Frankly it tells you how fragile this wheat market really is," Peterson said. "Five months ago we were going to be giving it away, we thought we had so much."
Dry weather for the U.S. winter-wheat crop may also help to underpin prices into next year, while futures will be driven by the outlook for spring plantings, he said. The U.S. Wheat Associates is an Arlington, Virginia-based market development organization.
The U.S. may not have the logistical capacity to meet rising global demand, after rains cut the quality of the harvest in Canada and Australia, Abdolreza Abbassian, an economist at the United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization, said in an interview.
As much as 8 million metric tons of Australia's wheat harvest may be downgraded because of excessive rains, while Canada's output suffered from wet weather, pushing importers to seek alternative supplies, he said.

AbstractA need exists for inexpensive, disposable, broadcast capable chemical / explosive-compound sensors that also provide site weather conditions. The state-of-the-art does not meet the need described both in terms of CWA sensor cost/size and lack of a low-cost deployment system. ADA proposes under this three-phased SBIR program to develop a system comprised of a suite of covert, modular, lightweight, rugged and easily deployable sensor pods. The sensor pod capabilities include measurement of 1) weather, 2) chemical warfare agent (CWA) concentrations, and 3) Explosive Related Compounds (ERC). These sensor pods auto-network to relay spatially and temporally stamped data to a central command and control center. ADA will rapidly and cost-effectively develop the system by leveraging three enabling technologies 1) ADA's Situational Awareness Monitor, 2) small, low-power, low-cost gas sensors based on chemically sensitive polymer arrays, and 3) ADA's Stroboscopic Signal Amplification to enhanced trace explosives measurement. Phase I will focus on the evaluation and testing of the measurement capabilities for both CWAs and ERCs. Phase II effort focuses on full development of the new chemical sensor modules and the customization of the SAM network for this application including the incorporation of chemical-release source-triangulation software along with significant field testing.

This product has been successful in resolving my restless legs about 70% of the time.
This product is super. It works immediately and I am able to sleep all night without restless legs. I would definitely recommend this product.
I have occasional leg jerking especially at night and can't sleep due to them wanting to move. I tried them from a free sample I got from walmart.com. I put a couple of these under my tongue and am sleeping well in no time.
I had bad cramps in my calves at night. This has relieve this and I can sleep good all night.
I have leg cramps and restless legs. I have used these tablets every night and they do absolutely nothing to relieve the problem.
It may work for some,did absolutely nothing for me.
I've been having restless leg syndrome for a very long time. My wife saw this and thought I should give it a try. It works!!
seems to work, no side effects

News We Couldn't Have Said it Better
posted by March 2 at 17:38 PMon
Today's P-I has an editorial blasting the state senate for moving forward with legislation allowing dogs in the outdoor portion of restaurants while failing to make progress on important issues like lowering interest rates on payday loans.
This measure illustrates all too clearly the direction we're going as a society, where it seems we expect the general public to accommodate our lifestyle choices (having pets, strict diets, smoking, etc.), at the expense of common sense. […]
It probably says something about our legislators, and us, as a community, when we're further along in the debate as to whether to let dogs into restaurants than we are with such issues as delaying the WASL until 2010 (ah, it's only our education system, folks) and lowering the cap on payday loans from 391 percent down to 36 percent (the poor can wait another year). Clearly, those concerns aren't as urgent as being able to take dogs to bars.
While I agree with Goldy that a focus on one non-substantive issue doesn't imply a total lack of interest in substantive issues, I don't agree that it's "silly" to suggest that payday interest rates and other pressing issues be resolved before the legislature invests its time and energy debating idiotic proposals like allowing dogs in bars. It certainly isn't complicated: By allowing payday lenders to charge sky-high interest rates, the state is saying it's OK to fleece the poor. The solution: Put a cap on interest rates. Not complicated, not silly, and certainly more important than debating over dogs in bars.

Thanks so much. I will do the same for you.
The mouse crap tenant stil rents with us, but NEVER said anything to me. I found out who it was by clicking the name. They just happened to do a direction search from home address to another address. I did a cross check of the start address and found the tenant. We did infact have a problem with a tenant who must have thought it was important to stor Bread. Two days in a row I found mouse crap and bread in my unit. As soon as I saw this I started an aggressive campain to get rid of them. I have not seen the tenant yet and will address the problem with them in person.
Here is some info that might help in the future.
I had to take a look, from my side it looks like the same person posted both slams. There was also one about the mouse crap. I see you've responded. Hasn't happened to me YET so im not sure how I would manage the problem besides getting Pi$$ed

If you're wondering, like we are, what a Jessica Rabbit manicure would look like, there's good news for all. Deborah Lippmann is coming out with an exclusive shade of polish for the 2011 holiday season inspired by the cartoon seductress, and it's bound to cause quite a stir.
"I used the largest pieces of glitter possible to create this polish," Lippmann told Allure.com.
According to the news source, the shade will feature a Hollywood-red vibe with equally bright red sparkles that recall Jessica Rabbit's legendary strapless dress in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Of course, the product won't be available until later this year. If patience is not your greatest strength, you can help yourself wait it out with equally eye-catching nail polish shades from the Lippmann Collection including Ruby Red Slippers, Happy Birthday and Across the Universe. Look for standout polishes with lots of chunks and sparkles to get this riveting, glamorous look – for optimum results, apply to tapered or rounded nails that are a quarter-inch in length.

We stay for a few days and loved it was very comfy, only problem was the trains running by every so many minutes through out the night time which kept waking us up, but would defiantly book again, wish we could have stayed longer
Attracted us because it was the same price as premier inn
Clean, excellent sized self catering apartment that could've done with a little TLC.
Unfortunately situated right on top of the railway (Stratford international). Also requires £200 deposit in case you party and trash the room..

The story, basically, is that Ash and company come across a boy named Sam and a Celebi, who have traveled 40 years from the past. But before Celebi can bring Sam back to his own time, it is captured by the Iron Mask Marauder, who captures Celebi using a Dark Ball, and transforms it into a destructive monster. While the Marauder and Celebi destroy the forest, Ash and Sam must try and save Celebi. There are some surprisingly emotional scenes in the movie, especially towards the end as we find out the fate of Celebi and Sam's relationship with Ash.
The DVD offers trailers for this movie and the Japanese trailer for the fifth movie, as well as previews for other Miramax titles. Fans will be pleased to know that the Pikachu short has been restored for the DVD, and as usually, it's pretty funny and features plenty of cute Pokemon. It also a multi-angle animation progression feature, but the footage shown is very brief; each of the four segments clock in at barely under a few seconds, if that. One major complaint about this DVD is that despite the fact that this is the fourth Pokemon feature, it is still only presented on DVD in FULLSCREEN. There are many instances in the movie where a character is speaking, but you can't see him or her, since they are cropped off the screen. I'd hoped this unfortunate tradition was left behind with Warner Bros, but the curse follows the series to Miramax. Listen up, Miramax, we don't mind the black bars on the screen, we really don't.Read more ›
Pokémon 4Ever is a great and fun film of the quality we've come to expect from not only pokémon films, but anime in general. If you are a pokémon fan of any age, this is a must own film.
Graphics (5/5):
Overall, the graphics are of the same high quality we can expect of any Pokémon episode, or movie. They even do a mild increase of the graphics quality of the standard pokémon, by giving it a mild 3D feel in certain areas.
Music (4/5):
While the movie does not hold the awe inspiring music that the previous two held, the music is flawless, and does not detract from the movie in any way. While it could have been better, it is fine as it is.
Story (5/5):
The movie's story holds together well. A boy named Sammy protects Celebi, the legendary pokémon, from a pokémon hunter. Celebi, to protect them from this threat, travels forward in time, to the time of our heroes Ash, Pikachu, and the rest. Together, they must protect Celebi, and the rest of the forest, from their new threat--a hunter more powerful than the one left behind!
The story is mildly simplistic, but as it is a children's story foremost, it cannot be faulted for that. All plot threads that are started are finished by the end of the movie, and you get a full sense of fulfillment. They did extraordinary in this area.
Fun (5/5):
The story is not only fun for children, but for more mature pokémon fans.Read more ›
This movie, very much like the third one, was more about art direction and visuals than a good story. This is most apparent in the far-too-long scene in which Celebi takes Ash and his new friend Sammy flying with him. This scene does absolutely nothing other than show off the forest. It doesn't move the plot in any way, shape, or form. Also, Jesse, James, and Meowth are put way way in the back seat for this movie, since a new Team Rocket member has come to steal the show.
Strong points? Excellent animation, the best of all the movies. Also, of all the Legendary Pokemon, Celebi is the most loveable. Even more loveable than Mew. Also, the Pikachu short is pretty entertaining. I'm sure a lot of people out there would love to see Pokemon get attacked by a raging lawnmower. Come on admit, you can't wait to see Pokemon get attacked by a raging lawnmower. Well, that's on this DVD.
And, of course, the best part of any Pokemon DVD: the commentary. I remember listening to it on the first one and I really liked those two guys, Norman Grossfeld and Michael Haigney. This time, they brought in some guests, including a writer and the cast. WARNING: About the guy who does the voice of Meowth, MEOWTH'S VOICE IS HIS REAL VOICE. Don't get freaked when you hear it because I warned you. Sadly, the commentary ends way before the movie does. I've never seen that before, weird.
Anyway, if you want to see Pokemon get attacked by a raging lawnmower, then get this DVD. If not, well the commentary is entertaining, even if it is short. Otherwise, it's not that great.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Contrite quarterback Vince Young apologized to his teammates, coaches, fans and the Tennessee Titans' organization following a Monday practice for a misdemeanor assault citation he got at a Dallas strip club early Sunday.
Young said he's hopeful the incident won't result in a suspension. The Titans open the season Sept. 12 against Oakland.
"I pray to God that Roger Goodell doesn't come down hard on me, because I definitely want to be here for my teammates," Young said.
Said Titans coach Jeff Fisher: "I'm disappointed. He's taken responsibility for it. I like to think he's learned a lesson. He had no business making the decision that he made and obviously he's got to deal with those consequences.
"The league will look into it. The commissioner is very strict about these types of things and I am sure we'll hear from him after we get more information."
The Titans' second game of the 2010 season Sept. 19 is against Pittsburgh, which will be without Ben Roethlisberger because of his own suspension.
Young was in Dallas Sunday for an autograph session. He said he was headed back to his hotel when he decided to go out on the town with a friend. They went to Club Onyx, which Young said was a bad decision.
"Just made a mistake, made a mistake even being there and let that guy provoke me into doing what I did," Young told reporters after a Titans offseason practice. "Fell into his hands, what he wanted me to do so he could do what he's doing now. At the same time, let my lawyers take care of it."
Young said the upside-down Texans Longhorns sign Creiton Kinchen, a manager of a Dallas-area strip club, made to him is disrespectful but said "it was more than that" and that "there was a lot of stuff going on" that led to the scuffle. He also said he didn't throw a punch, that "it was just a push."
The attorney for Young said he plans to get a court date scheduled within the next 48 hours and enter a plea of not guilty for his client.
Scotty B. Allen, a Dallas-based attorney, said Monday that Young was provoked into attacking Kinchen. Allen said he's also looking into getting the charges dropped.
The incident occurred in a small office around 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Young lunged after Kinchen when he made what is considered a disparaging hand sign about the University of Texas, where Young attended school. Kinchen also allegedly made some personal remarks about the quarterback.
"It went way beyond the University of Texas," Allen said. "It was some personal things in nature that were very offensive. I don't think the actions Vince took warranted an assault."
Allen also said that Young did not throw a punch and that it's unfortunate the security video the police released does not have any audio. Allen would not get into specifics about what Kinchen said to Young.
The Titans let several veterans go since the 2009 season ended and Young has said he intends to provide more leadership.
"Becoming a leader is a process, you don't just step up and take over a team," Fisher said. "It's a process and in the process on occasion you hope that there are not setbacks, but this may be a setback. But in the long run I don't think this is going to affect him."
Young showed up in Nashville for a late pinch-hitting appearance in Fisher's annual charity softball game Sunday night. Young planned to talk with Fisher sometime Monday afternoon, but he insisted he's completely focused on football.
"We've got a team goal right now like we want to finish a season in Dallas in the Super Bowl. Right now like y'all see me today still had a good practice, got back to work," Young said.
Monday, players piled on, giving him a hard time in the locker room before practice, he said. He was slated to sit down with Fisher later in the afternoon.
"It's past, it's over with," Young said. "Now I am letting my legal folks and the process go on about it, let them take care of that. Right now I am just playing football."
Despite his poor decision, Young said he has matured.
He said he is handling this situation differently than when he was injured in the 2008 season opener. During that game he had been booed after being intercepted twice and apparently refused to go back into the game before being hurt. The next day police were called to search for him when his mother worried about how he was handling the injury.
He lost his starting job to Kerry Collins after the injury, and the Titans went 13-3 with Young on the bench.
"I didn't know how to handle it at first. I'm more accustomed to it now. I made my mistake. I'm owning up to my mistake," Young said.

Skip to comments.5 stages of Obamacare (Excellent)
Posted on 03/31/2012 3:49:46 PM PDT by radioone
Two years ago, liberals rammed an unconstitutional health insurance bill Obamacare through Congress without a Republican vote. They libeled opponents as racists and touted a new age in Washington. James Carville said Democrats would rule for 40 years. But the public hated the law and voted Democrats out of the House. Now the Supreme Court will vote 6-3 to nullify this unconstitutional attack on our liberty.
The spin from Democrats is hilarious. The liberals will go through them all: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
First, denial.
From the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON Vice President Joe Biden says hes confident the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the health care law.
Biden says in an interview taped for CBSs Face the Nation that we think the mandate and the law are constitutional and we think the court will rule that way.
Asked about the chances it would be overturned, he replies, I dont believe it will happen. Biden says I think we should focus on what is the law doing for people now and what would happen if Republicans should repeal it.
Biden has started taking on a greater role in arguing President Barack Obamas case for re-election, making an appearance on his behalf in the Midwest earlier this week. Excerpts of his Sunday interview were aired Friday on CBS This Morning.
Joe Biden is paid to say crazy stuff. Not so the bloggers at Huffington Post.
From David Paul:
I believe that the Supreme Court will uphold the individual mandate that is at the core of Obamacare by a vote of 6-3. Based on no legal theory whatsoever, I expect Chief Justice Roberts and perennial swing vote Justice Kennedy to vote with the liberal wing to uphold the act of Congress.
Denial takes many shapes. There is denial that striking down the centerpiece of the Obama presidency is toxic. It actually helps him.
From Bob Shrum:
Will a Tea Party Supreme Court guarantee Obama a second term?
The courts conservative wing appears ready to engage in some despicable judicial activism on ObamaCare. Politically, at least, the justices are doing Obama a favor.
It is strategy like that which made Bob Shrum presidential poison. Hes been on the losing end of, what, 5 presidential candidates now?
More from Bob Shrum:
Largely missing from the coverage of the health reform case are the most important consequences of nullifying the law: The tragedy of tens of millions who would again be left without insurance; the plight of young adults now on their parents policies who would be thrown off; the desperation of those with pre-existing conditions who would be left with no coverage and nowhere to turn; the agony of patients who, because of lifetime limits on their insurance, would see it canceled just before the next round of chemotherapy.
Tens of millions were covered by Obamacare? Hes nuts! There are 7 million more uninsured Americans than there were 2 years ago. Liberals now live on Fantasy Island. Joining him is Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman. Hes in denial that this is a liberal plan.
From Paul Krugman:
Indeed, conservatives used to like the idea of required purchases as an alternative to taxes, which is why the idea for the mandate originally came not from liberals but from the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation. (By the way, another pet conservative project private accounts to replace Social Security relies on, yes, mandatory contributions from individuals.)
Wait a second, doesnt that mean liberals opposed the mandate at some point? Ah another diversion. Well-played, Krugman, well-played.
Then comes anger.
From Jonathan Cohn:
Virtually everybody agrees that a vote to strike down the Affordable Care Act would be five to foura bare majority. And it would be a bare partisan majority, with the five Republican appointees overruling the four Democratic appointees. The decision would appear nakedly partisan and utterly devoid of principle. Appearances would not be deceiving.
Really? So he admits that Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayor are just political hacks
Then there is bargaining. Then there is the smiley face that ridding us of Obamacare clears the way for the government taking over all of health care.
From Eugene Robinson:
If Obamacare is struck down, the short-term implications are uncertain. Conservatives may be buoyed by an election-year victory; progressives may be energized by a ruling that looks more political than substantive. The long-term consequences, however, are obvious: Sooner or later, a much more far-reaching overhaul of the health-care system will be inevitable.
Never mind that the decision would strike Obamacare down because Congress is not empowered to run health care insurance. In liberal landthis passes for logic.
More from Eugene Robinson:
But its going to be a close call. What if they strike down the law?
The immediate impact will be the human toll. More than 30 million uninsured Americans who would have obtained coverage under Obamacare will be bereft. Other provisions of the law, such as forbidding insurance companies to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions and allowing young adults to remain on their parents policies, presumably would also be invalidated; if not, they would have to be modified to keep insurance rates from climbing sharply. The United States would remain the only wealthy industrialized country where getting sick can mean going bankrupt.
Eventually, however, our health-care system will be restructured. It has to be. The current fee-for-service paradigm, with doctors and hospitals being paid through for-profit insurance companies, is needlessly inefficient and ruinously expensive.
Let us see, before Obamacare, we had 44 million uninsured Americans. Now we have 51 million. He says we will have 30 million uninsured if this goes down. Sounds like a deal.
As for for profit, isnt that what his employer, the Washington Post, is supposed to be? A free press is a right. Using his logic, the Washington Post should eschew all profits and he should work for free.
Groupthink is alive and kicking at the Washington Post.
From Ezra Klein:
With health-care reform either repealed or overturned, both Democrats and Republicans shy away from proposing any big changes to the health-care system for the next decade or so. But with continued increases in the cost of health insurance and a steady erosion in employer-based coverage, Democrats begin dipping their toes in the water with a strategy based around incremental expansions of Medicare, Medicaid, and the Childrens Health Insurance Program. They move these policies through budget reconciliation, where they can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate, and, over time, this leads to more and more Americans being covered through public insurance. Eventually, we end up with something close to a single-payer system, as a majority of Americans and particularly a majority of Americans who have significant health risks are covered by the government.
The key word there is eventually. This is a long, ugly process that ensures a very large uninsured population for decades. Its also a process that ensures there wont be a coordinated effort to control costs for sometime. Yes, it might end up with a system thats tilted further towards public insurance than whats envisioned in the Affordable Care Act. But its not at all obvious it would be a good system, and, in the decades between here and there, there will be a lot of unnecessary suffering and deaths among the uninsured. Thats the real cost of losing this opportunity to insure 30 million people. And its a cost that too often gets swept under the rug in Washingtons handicapping of the political fallout.
Next will come depression. Probably beginning on November 7, 2012. But acceptance? Never. Liberals will spend the next century laying the blame for every medical problem on the justices who struck down Obamacare. Theyre still angry at Ronald Reagan for his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee 60 years ago.
Theyre still angry at Ronald Reagan for his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee 60 years agoOnly makes Joseph McCarthy seem more vindicated than ever.
While I want to see Obamacare (and Obama, for that matter) flushed, I fear that we are counting our chickens much, much too soon.
The libs are piss ants and nothing more. They are fools who know nothing.
I would like this prediction to come true.
I practice as a healthcare regulatory attorney in a major law firm and have been engaged firsthand in many transactions and initiatives designed to implement the reform law. What is truly criminal is the billions of dollars to date that have been spent (wasted) all because of the arrogance of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Snowe and the rest of these progressive culprits. They should be ridiculed for the total disregard of the Constitution. Glad the left wing on the Court stands exposed.
Somewhere between "let Granny die a horible death" and a "free ride" for voters who do not wish, or can't afford major medical insurance, there is truth.
I certainly hope that SCOTUS rejects this law, so as to let whatever adults are left in Congress are able to re-craft a meaningful policy that addresses this run-away health care debacle.
Responsible adults exclude Pelosi and Waxman!
1. Wild enthusiasm
2. Disillusionment
3. Confusion
4. Panic
5. Search for the guilty
6. Punishment of the innocent
7. Promotion of non-participants
The Supreme Court should vote Obamacare down 9-0. A 5-4 split would be silliness on such an easy decision....and this isn't even tough. The government can just not have the power to force people into a contract, period...regardless of how much sense it might make at the time financially
There are plenty of 'unconstitutional' ways to address healthcare in this country but, it's the Congress' job to address the issue constitutionally. What's most embarrassing is President Obama was a constitutional law teacher.
With all that said, the Congress does indeed have the constitutional power to tax us and then buy Healthcare for us as with Medicare. So, Universal Healthcare is still out there. I would much prefer to simply let the market place set the limits (and some reforms would help in this regard) as with other products but, so many folks simply get scared by this notion.
In any case, it's never made sense to me why healthcare is provided through your employer. We should buy it like we buy car insurance. That way, if we want to cover our 30 year old son, birth control, and sex change operations, we could do just that at the local State Farm Office.....like any other product we buy. Really, insurance, like anything else, is no one dams business
In any case, Obamacare is unconstitutional and it's back to the drawing board in my opinion.
No one is counting anything too soon, if the Jurists follow the Constitution, it will be struck down.
Your blood will be boiling before a min and a half!
That's a relic of World War II. As skilled labor became scarcer because a.) manufacturing had ramped up, and b.) most young men were in uniform, companies tried to compete for workers by offering higher salaries. The feral government wage and price controls precluded higher salaries. In time, a "compromise" was arrived at: companies could sweeten fringe benefits, and so began to offer life and health insurance.
It's a classic example of a government-caused problem made more complex with a government-proposed solution that gradually leads to moreand more and more and moreproblems in due time.
You can bet your last nickel the obvious solution, removing government altogether from both insurance and medical care, is the one that won't even be considered in Washington, D.C. Letting open markets go to work on the problem would soon result in lower medical care costs, improved medical care quality, lower insurance costs, more freedom and profitability for medical care providers, and greatly reduced demand for government intervention. Do you doubt me? Look at the hardware and software computer industry, which operates in a largely open market. Every year, prices stay the same or are pushed down, quality rises, speed rises, and consumers are happier. If not for government, the same would be true of medical care and insurance.
I'm aware of how employer provided healthcare started. I just don't understand why anyone ever thought it was a good idea. Your analysis seems very reasonable.
I fear you are right that no one will ever just turn insurance back over to the free market...including removing it from our employers.
Everything from bread to hammers to football tickets to health insurance should be set by the market place. Unfortunately, the average dude neither trusts the market place nor fears the power of an omnipresent government.
I wish I could say I was optimistic about our future but, I'm not. Even 1 Supreme Court Justice concluding that the government has the power to force the purchase of a product suggests how far we've fallen into the abyss. And, we've probably got 4 judges willing to turn complete control of our lives over to the feds...and these are supposedly 'experts' on our constitutional rights.
""Now the Supreme Court will vote 6-3 to nullify this unconstitutional attack on our liberty. ""
Susan Estrich said tonight it will be 6-3 and liberal judges will win the day! She believes Roberts and Kennedy will be the 2 to go with the libs. She said Roberts knows they can't get political about the decision in an election year. I wrote it down so I won't forget. Just another hack!
""companies could sweeten fringe benefits, and so began to offer life and health insurance.""
EXCEPT at that time the employers offered Major Medical only and it kept people from going to the doctors for hangnails and colds. It should have stayed that way.
Which enumerated power covers "the provision of healthcare for every inhabitant"?
Exactly. The government actually CAUSED health care to sky-rocket, then wants to "fix" it by making it worse.
I'm still in the anger stage- Angry that the Republicans had control of the House, Senate and presidency during some of the Bush years and did nothing about health care reform, instead they spent like drunken sailors.
Also, you could use Lasik surgery as a prime example of a health care procedure becoming better and CHEAPER because it's considered elective so government (and insurance) isn't involved.
The free-market prevails every time.
"There will be legislation ready to go and some of the things it will contain are tort reform, allowing interstate purchase of insurance, uniform tax credits that are to be applied to insurance premiums, and enhanced health savings accounts."
The Republicans should have done this YEARS ago, while they had the majority with Bush. Using these reforms and health savings accounts (where people realize that they are spending their own money thus are more careful instead of thinking that an insurance company or someone else is paying the bill), and also encouraging people to use urgent care/well care facilities instead of emergency rooms would make a HUGE impact on the money spent on health care.
"EXCEPT at that time the employers offered Major Medical only and it kept people from going to the doctors for hangnails and colds. It should have stayed that way."
I'm old enough to remember when my employer only offered major medical (l980's) (then along came HBO's and that seemed to pave the way for health care expenses to skyrocket). Of course, during the time of major medical insurance the doctor visit was like $35, not $150 as it is today. The government can be held directly responsible for that hike... their "negotiating" (manipulation) of provider compensation for Medicare/Medicaid caused the upward skewing of rates for everyone else.
I don't want them to "craft" anything to do with healthcare.I want them to leave my healthcare completely alone.
Meanwhile, the drumbeat of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack continues to grow louder: - regulate - control - destroy - Regulate - control - destroy - REgulate - control - destroy - REGulate - control - destroy - REGU
My son says the same thing about Federal Taxes. President Lincoln was the first to do it and it's pretty much been the norm ever sense. Prior to Lincoln, the Fed would requet money from each state for 'this or that' but, it's obviously evolved. Fair enough.

Are living wills still recognized as being legal documents in New York State?
Estate Planning Attorney
Yes, they are. They are generally expressions of an individual's intent. A health care proxy is a more comprehensive document that names an agent to make health care decisions for the principal. The agent has broad powers to act for the principal in the event of incapacity.
Elder Law Attorney
A living will is not legally binding in New York. A much better choice would be a health care proxy which is legally binding.

The location of the hotel is very good. Staff very friendly and answered all the question I asked. Rooms size big enough.
The swimming pool and other facilities were under maintenance, which I was not informed with the booking. The windows of the rooms were permanently closed, so no fresh air. TV Remote broken.
Hotel employees were very nice.
Facilities need to be renovated.
- Staff were generally polite.
- I was disappointed by the on site travel desk. Further, there was a Michael Jackson tribute concert which meant that there was a lot of noise until 11 PM on two evenings (one was a rehersal evening). I was not informed of this at the time of making the reservation.
a good location and comfotable hotel with pleasant satff
there was nothing that was disappointing,we would highly recommend the sea food cove restaurant,we will definitely return on our next visit to sri lanka.
The staff and management were the best I have ever encountered in all my years of travel. The General Manager got wind of my need for dress clothes for a presentation and he arranged for his staff, a very kind and professional Gisela, to escort us to a shopping mall to get what was needed. I was amazed at the thoughtfulness.
The shower had plenty of hot water... There was nothing else nice about the place, except feeding the fish near the elevator. I suppose leaving was the best part!
The hotel is not on the ocean. You must cross a highway and walk through a slum to get to the beach.
It was very central and the Hotel Staff was very friendly. Had a corner room with both windows having a view to the sea.

Getting Started continued...
"I can't tell you how many people I see with a knee injury because they were not taught correctly how to do a lunge or squat," says Sue Carver, physical therapist with A World of Difference Therapy Services in Little Rock, Ark.
Siebers also recommends checking out books, videos, and/or fitness- and health-related web sites for guidance on exercises and form.
Indeed, good technique, not heavy lifting, should be your primary goal in the beginning, Carver says.
Siebers recommends using a heavy enough weight to feel resistance, but not strain or pain. Your individual body will determine just how much that is, and you should err on the light side at first; five pounds may not seem like a lot, but it's better to be conservative than suffer.
And how much should you work out? According to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, beginners should do at least two days per week of any type of strength-training exercise. Your workout should consist of 8 to 12 repetitions each of 8 to 10 different exercises working all the major muscle groups -- chest, back, shoulders, arms, abdominals, and legs. (A repetition is how many times you lift the weight, pull the rubber tubing, do a pushup, or whatever.)
Machines or Free Weights?
Both free weights and weight machines work well, and experts say there's no evidence that one is superior to the other, so this is largely a matter of choice.
Machines are a good idea for people who are overweight and/or out of condition, since the exercises are generally done seated and with back support, Seibers says.
But if machines are not an option, investing a few dollars in a set of light dumbbells and/or some resistance tubing can give you what you need to start toning those muscles.
Whichever option you choose, keep your moves basic at first, the experts say. For the arms and upper body, try these exercises:
- Chest presses
- Reverse flies for the back
- Overhead presses for the shoulders
- Bicep curls
- Triceps kickbacks or extensions

Static Tensions
by Kylesa
- Record Label: Prosthetic
- Release Date: Mar 17, 2009
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Static Tensions is the fourth album from Savannah, Georgia metal mavens Kylesa and it may well be the best damn album the band's released and one of the finest of 2009, metal or otherwise.
Kylesa's lyrics lean towards the abstract and personal. They avoid grand gestures or obvious themes that allow for easy grasp. This time, though, grasp is almost moot. The band has etched light, dark, sky, and earth so deftly onto wax that it vibrates the very soul.
Alternative PressAlthough a more varied use of the two drummers would be appreciated, the overall echoed effect with the cleaner production offers a complete, homogenized sound, which, when consumed en masse, makes for a killer album. [Jun 2009, p.105]
Along with fellow Georgia natives Mastodon, Kylesa have crafted one of the metal albums to beat this year.
This is a dynamic, densely-packaged slab of rock 'n' roll, which not only stands alongside the titans of the genre, but gives Kylesa a name of their own.
At the end of the day, the best single word for describing Static Tensions is "unpredictable," and although this characteristic may demand a few more listens before the album's many amazing qualities can sink in properly, the ultimate payoff is very much worth the effort.
Throughout, drummers Carl McGinley and Eric Hernandez play tight, tribal beats. The heat subsides at times, but it never breaks.
Static Tensions, which, while not as compositionally right-angled as 2006 Prosthetic disc "Time Will Fuse Its Worth," liquefies massively ('Perception') and even psychedelically ('Unknown Awareness') into a multiton Teutonic corkscrew.

The Oracle of Omaha just turned 85, and the self-made billionaire is still bringing in the big bucks.
President Obama's fiscal year 2016 budget contains several tax proposals prompted by well-known individuals, including Warren Buffett and Mitt Romney.
The top donations by Americans totaled more than $3 billion in 2014.
Following the investments of the biggest fish on Wall Street just got a lot easier.
People are Warren Buffett's most important secret.
Fidelity Investments, which manages more 401(k) accounts than any other company, released a good-news/bad-news quarterly retirement planning report today. The good news is employees are saving more, and employers are shelling out more in matches. Employee contributions rose in 2011 to $5,750, up from $5,680 in 2010. At the same time, employers kicked in an
President Obama is calling his proposal for a new, higher minimum tax rate for those earning more than $1 million a year the "Buffett Rule," according to an article in the New York Times. This, of course, is a reference to billionaire investor Warren Buffett's public plea to the government to force the rich to
When Warren Buffett speaks, people listen, and not just for investing tips. Last month, Buffett published an op-ed piece in the New York Times stating that he and his fellow mega-rich have been enjoying "extraordinary tax breaks" for too long and suggested Congress impose higher rates on taxable income above $1 million. He hit a
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett caused a media stir this week with his op-ed in the New York Times titled "Stop coddling the Super-Rich." Buffett outed himself and his fellow mega-rich as tax-cheapskates, thanks to tax-friendly legislation, and urged Congress to raise taxes as part of a deficit-reduction plan. "While the poor and middle class fight
I'm an admirer of 80-year-old billionaire Warren Buffett. Every year he writes a letter to the stockholders of his company, Berkshire Hathaway. In that letter, he sums up his view of the company's business and the nation's economy in terms simple enough that even those of us who aren't investment geniuses can understand perfectly. In
