With Crazy Rumors Abroad, the Sales of Popular Bubble Yum Get It Right in the Kisser
The 45-year-old executive at first ignored a scattering of letters from children—he thought they were a prank. (The first one went: "Dear Sir, I have herd there are siper eggs in your bubbleyum. If so, they are very tasty. Michael.") But when retailers and reporters last month began to bother his New York office with questions, Morris became convinced that "this prank was serious."
"The rumors," he says, "spread quickly in a small area"—New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Northern New Jersey, Southern Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania. "My problem," says ex-Marine Morris, "was to find out where they started." He hired private investigators—their confidential report is due this week—and he took out ads in 30 papers at a cost of about $60,000 to warn: "Someone is telling your kids very bad lies about a very good gum." (There was no evidence that the rumors were floated by business rivals.)
Morris—a Princeton graduate who lives with his wife, Mauny, a daughter, Julie, 17, and a son, Bill, 12, in Riverside, Conn.—claims the rumors hurt sales but didn't affect profits "since we haven't been able to make as much gum as we could sell."
The decision to campaign publicly against the reports—rather than simply hope they'd go away—was difficult. "I have to admit," Morris says, "I didn't study rumors in Marketing 101." The pressure began affecting his personal life. "I slept about three hours longer every night," he says, "because I never knew what I would have to deal with the next day."
When he read a New York Times editorial in support of his company, Morris says, "I was almost in tears." Now the rumors appear to be diminishing and sales are bouncing back. A few days ago Morris sat in his office trying with limited success to blow a bubble. "I don't care about bubbles," he finally said. "I care about the gum."

Think twice before getting your child's tonsils removed, as a new research states that kids who undergo the surgery are more likely to gain weight.
Preventing diabetes is just a matter of steps now! Walking, running or jogging more not only wards off weight-gain, but also delays or prevents diabetes, a new study reveals.
A novel research delving into the link between walking speed and mortality found that senior citizens who walked faster had a greater life expectancy than their slower peers.
An advisory committee for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given the green signal to expanding the use of the popular Lap Band weight-loss device, by allowing it to be used on people who are less than severely obese. A formal FDA approval may soon follow.
Kids who carry a virus strain that causes respiratory and gastrointestinal illness are more likely to be obese and overweight as against their counterparts who do not carry the strain, suggest the findings of a new study.
A study last month revealed that teen American girls are growing up quicker, beginning puberty at much younger ages. Now, another study shows that those girls who are growing up in homes with absent fathers may hit puberty faster.
For once, smaller numbers on the weighing scale seem to confer a negative effect.
Thinner women who take hormone replacement therapy to combat menopausal symptoms are more likely to develop breast cancer than women who are overweight, findings of a new study suggest.
People with larger waistline run a twofold higher risk of death from any cause, findings of a new study suggest.
Women interested in keeping their memory sharp during the later years in life need to keep a check on their weight as new research has established a link between weight and memory.
Body Mass Index (BMI) has hitherto been touted as a potent tool to screen obesity. However measuring the circumference of a child's neck may well come across as a better way to screen youngsters who are overweight and obese, results of a new study show.

This ad doesn't show lovers - it shows soon-to-be-parents. Why would I use this service if I just wanna go on vacation and have lots of sex with my girlfriend - I sure as hell don't want the outcome of my trip to be what's taking place in this ad.
i agree in many points with the previous comments but no one said talked about that one of the symbols is the english breakfast "eggs and beans....."
it's DISGUSTING
I doubt if anyone would have the appetite left for breakfast, just think what are u eating
striking visual.
might scare away lovers if diapers are not on their minds.
Eurostar is the high speed train that travels around Western Europe. The english channel's tunnel was digged for this reason as well.... i very much agree with the first comment thou. The use of english breakfast ingredients to portrait a by-product of sex (hence love making) is quite Oh-Kay .... i would say the idea's fine, artwork's good, execution SUCKS.

Dave Evans was on holiday and driving his work's Downer ute
through central Invercargill about 3pm yesterday when the
acetylene gas bottle blew up.
It seriously injured his head and torso, tore the back off
his ute, blew out Clyde St shop windows and threw debris up
to 50 metres.
A second person was treated at the scene for shock and was
later discharged.
Police were concerned other gas bottles could explode, so
they evacuated the area, closed streets and set up a 200m
cordon. Firefighters sprayed water on the ute for more than
30 minutes and there were no more explosions.
Locals described the huge explosion as being like a
"supersonic boom." Another reported seeing a "huge fireball".
Today, Mr Evans - Downer's Invercargill workshop manager - is
in a serious but stable condition in an induced coma at Kew
Hospital, a Southern District Health Board spokeswoman said.
An email sent to all of Downer's New Zealand employees today
from chief executive Cos Bruyn confirmed Mr Evans' accident.
"As Dave was on annual leave at the time, we cannot comment
further on the circumstances relating to this event," Mr
Bruyn says.
"To the extent that there are any work-related implications,
a full internal investigation will be conducted.
"Downer is in support of Dave's family and we wish him a
speedy recovery.
"We don't have any further comment at this stage."
New Zealand Fire Service investigators have been at the scene
today trying to work out what caused the acetylene bottle to
explode. Acetylene is used for welding.
WorkSafe New Zealand today confirmed that it has been
informed and has officials investigating.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/125,596 filed on Sep. 23, 1993, abandoned, which is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 07/562,398 filed on Aug. 3, 1990, abandoned.
The present invention relates to an electroplating gravure roll with a surface layer of copper. More particularly it concerns the use of a unique plating bath formulation which results in a surface coating which is ideally suited for electronic engraving.
Gravure printing is a method of printing which uses an etched or engraved cylinder. Ink occupies the depressions in the cylinder and is transferred to a print medium. Surface defects on the cylinder, such as pits or spots which are too hard or too soft result in engraving errors and subsequent need for repolishing and replating which is expensive and time consuming.
Since the development of automatic method of electronic engraving, the electrodeposition of copper of known physical and mechanical properties with reproduceable grain size, crystal structure and hardness over the entire surface of the cylinder is desirable. The copper plating processes, typically directed towards decorative plating, have as their objective to impart leveling and brightness characteristics with little regard to precise physical properties that are important for electronic engraving. Such decorative applications are generally concerned with deposits ranging in thickness from about 0.0005 to about 0.0015 inch while gravure rolls require deposits ranging from 10 to 20 times these thickness values.
For successful electronic engraving, the copper deposits must have reproducible grain size, crystal structure and hardness. One problem associated with copper deposits involves annealing. Annealing is a tendency of the hardness of the copper deposit to decrease with time as a result of changes in crystalline size, texture, microdeformations and dislocations within the copper deposit.
Certain acid copper plating baths are also known to perform differently with respect to the immersion depth of the rotating cylinder. The principal problem in this regard is annealing. This problem of recrystallization (annealing) is characteristic of totally submerged cylinder operations when using a bath designed for partial immersion such as described by U.S. Pat. No. 4,334,966. The same holds true of partially submerged cylinder operations when using a bath designed for total immersion such as described by U.S. Pat. No. 4,781,801.
It has been discovered that by incorporating an alkoxylated compound such as alkoxylated 2-mercaptoethanol or 2,2'-thiodiethanol into the acid copper baths the problem of annealing can be eliminated at any level of immersion.
The invention relates to a process for depositing copper on a gravure roll comprising the steps of:
immersing a gravure roll in an electroplating bath comprising a) copper, b) sulfuric acid, c) at least one alkoxythio compound, d) at least one sulfonated, sulfurized hydrocarbyl compound and e) at least one grain refining thio compound, and passing electric current through the bath to deposit copper on the gravure roll.
In another aspect, the instant invention relates to the above electroplating bath composition adapted for electrodepositing a gravure roll with a layer of copper which is especially suited for electronic engraving.
The present method and composition produce copper coatings which have consistent hardness on storage, i.e., minimal, if any, annealing. The plating may be accomplished by partial or complete immersion of the cylinder in the bath. The invention also provides a means to control the hardness and brittleness of copper layers on gravure rolls. The present method also controls treeing or excessive copper deposition at the high current ends of the gravure cylinder.
It is necessary to maintain a balance of certain additives which function together in order to provide a deposit that is (1) free of treeing, (2) has a uniform crystal structure with the desired hardness throughout the thickness and length of the deposit, and (3) does not anneal.
According to the present invention, the combination of additives found to achieve this goal is dependent upon the use of a specific class of compounds selected to suppress annealing while preserving other desirable qualities of the deposit.
The electroplating bath of the present invention includes copper, preferably copper ions in the form of copper sulfate. Copper sulfate is preferably present in the form copper sulfate pentahydrate. Generally from about 150 to about 225 grams per liter, preferably 200 to 210 of copper sulfate pentahydrate is included in the bath of the present invention.
Sulfuric acid is included in the bath of the present invention. It is present in an amount from about 35 to about 90 grams per liter, preferably 50 to 60.
The grain refining thio compound contains a structural unit represented by one of the formulae: ##STR1## Examples of thio compounds include thiocarbamates (I), including dithiocarbamates and their derivatives, and thioureas (II) and their derivatives. Specific examples include 2-imidazolidinethione (MW 102.17), 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole (MW 178.22), or 2-thiohydantoin (MW 116.14). The grain refining thio compound is generally present in an amount from about 0.5 to about 5.0 mg/l.
The alkoxythio compounds are represented by the formula
H(OR)n S(RO)n H (III)
R1 --S(RO)n H (IV)
wherein n is an average number of 1 to about 20, preferably 6 to about 12, preferably about 7 to about 11, more preferably about 9, R is an alkylene group having from 1 to about 8, preferably 2 to about 4 carbon atoms, and R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to about 6. R is preferably an ethylene, propylene or butylene group, preferably an ethylene group. R1 is preferably hydrogen or a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group. Preferably, the alkoxythio compound is represented by formula (III). These materials are generally known as alkoxylated thiols, preferably alkoxylated thiodiglycols, more preferably ethoxylated thiodiglycols. An Example of an ethoxylated thiodiglycol is Pegol TDG-1250 which is available commercially from Rhone-Poulenc Inc. of Princeton, N.J. The alkoxythio compounds are generally present in an amount from 0.01 to about 1.0 gram per liter, preferably 0.05 to 0.1.
Component (d) of the present invention is at least one sulfonated, sulfurized hydrocarbyl compound. Preferably, the hydrocarbyl compound is an aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbon, preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon. Examples of aromatic hydrocarbons include benzenes, including alkyl benzenes, phenols and aromatic amines, preferably benzenes. The hydrocarbyl compounds are sulfurized by the use of sulfur chloride, sulfuryl chloride or thionyl chloride as the sulfurizing agents. Elemental sulfur and alkali metal sulfides or mixtures thereof may also be used. Alternatively, commercially available thio-aromatic compounds, such as thioanthracene, diphenol sulfide, diphenol disulfide, thiophenol and the like may be used to form the sulfonated sulfurized hydrocarbyl compounds.
The sulfurized hydrocarbyl compounds are then sulfonated according to well known procedures using fuming sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfuric acid to form brightening agents of the present invention. Sulfonation may also occur prior to sulfurization of the hydrocarbyl compounds.
The sulfonated sulfurized hydrocarbyl compounds as well as methods for preparing the same are similar to those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,424,887 issued to Hendricks, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference for the purpose of describing the above compounds and process of making the same. Generally, the sulfonated, sulfurized hydrocarbyl compound is present in the plating bath in an amount from about 1 mg/l to about 100 mg/l, preferably about 10 to about 40, more preferably about 15 to about 25.
Generally, the bath should contain from about 20 to about 80 ppm chloride ion, preferably about 40 to about 60 ppm, more preferably 50 ppm. The chloride ion is added as hydrochloric acid.
The plating is applied to the roll in a plating bath with a temperature ranging from about 70� F. to about 120� F., preferably from about 75� F. to about 90� F. Higher temperatures may be employed but at the expense of greater cost due to the increased concentration and consumption of additives necessary to produce the desired result. In order to achieve high deposition rates and develop a uniform deposit, the roll is normally rotated on its axis to develop a surface feed of about 300 feet per minute (SF/min). The current may be from about 60 to about 480 amperes (AMPS) per square foot of roll surface, preferably from about 100 to about 250, more preferably about 100 to about 200. Plating is continued until the deposit is at least about 0.005 to about 0.020 inches, preferably about 0.010 to about 0.020. The deposit typically has a Rockwell T hardness of about 91 to about 92 as plated with no loss after standing at room temperature for a prolonged period of time. Ductility of the deposit is determined on the foil by flexing it 180�. Ductile foil will fold whereas a brittle foil will break.
Furthermore, the copper deposit is improved upon for the purpose of this gravure application by substituting this discovered compound in place of the typical polyether surfactants as noted in the following examples.
A plating bath is prepared by adding 210 g/l of copper sulfate pentahydrate, 60 g/l of sulfuric acid, 50 ppm of chloride added as hydrochloric acid, 20 mg/l of sulfurized benzene sulfonate and 80 mg/l of polyether surfactant (Pluracol P-710) to a vessel. A gravure roll six inches long and two inches in diameter is plated completely submerged in the bath at 80� F. at a current density of 150 AMPS/sq. ft. while being rotated at 300 SF/min. to produce a copper deposit, 0.005 inch thick, which has a Vickers hardness of 168. The deposit of copper obtained has a grainy matte surface with a semi-bright appearance in the extreme high current density areas. The copper deposit is removed from the cylinder as a Ballard foil and a sample of the deposit anneals to a Vickers hardness of 136 when it is subjected to an accelerated annealing test by heating the sample to 100� C. for 1 hour in an oven.
The bath of Reference Example A is modified by replacing the polyether surfactant (Pluracol P-710) with 40 mg/l of Pegol TDG-1250, an ethoxylated 2,2'-thiodiethanol, and a gravure roll was plated using the same parameters. The deposit of copper so obtained has a uniform semi-bright appearance and an as plated hardness of 200 Vickers. A sample of the deposit does not anneal when it was subjected to the heretofore described accelerated annealing test.
A gravure roll is plated in the bath of Example I at the same parameters except the level of immersion is 30%. The deposit of copper obtained has a uniform semi-bright appearance and an as plated hardness of 198 Vickers. A sample of the deposit does not anneal when it is subjected to the accelerated annealing test.
The bath of Example I is modified by the addition of 3 mg/l of 2-imidazolidinethione and a gravure roll is plated using the same parameters. The deposit of copper obtained has a uniform bright appearance and an as plated hardness of 225 Vickers. A sample of the deposit does not anneal when it is subjected to the accelerated annealing test.
A gravure roll is plated, in the bath of Example III at the same parameters except that the level of immersion is 30%. The deposit of copper obtained has a uniform bright appearance and an as plated hardness of 220 Vickers. A sample of the deposit does not anneal when it is subjected to the accelerated annealing test.
A plating bath is prepared containing 210 g/l of copper sulfate pentahydrate, 60 g/l of sulfuric acid and 50 ppm of chloride added as hydrochloric acid. A first premixed make-up aqueous additive package (A) is formulated to contain 2.5 g/l of the sulfurized benzene sulfonate and 10 g/l of Pegol TDG-1250. Premix concentrate (A) is then added to the above-described bath to give a concentration of 0.4% of premix concentrate (A) in the bath. A second premix aqueous concentrate (B) is formulated to contain 5 g/l of the sulfurized benzene sulfonate, 20 g/l of Pegol TDG-1250 and 1.68 g/l of 2-imidazolidinethione of which is added to the bath in an amount sufficient to give a 0.2% concentration of premix concentrate (B) in the bath. A gravure roll is plated 50% submerged at 85� F. at 200 AMPS/sq. ft. while being rotated at 300 SF/min. to produce a deposit, 0.020 of an inch thick with a Vickers hardness of 220. The deposit on the cylinder demonstrates good engravability by the electronic method. The deposit hardness does not change from the as-plated values for the presently monitored 5 months.
It should be noted that the bath of Example V has been tested under commercial conditions. The bath has been operated continuously as a two shift operation with weekend shutdown periods of one to two days. Over a current density range of 1 to 2 AMPS/sq. in. and a temperature range of 75� to 105� F. at various levels of cylinder submersions, including 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% immersion, the bath has produced copper deposits for electronic engraving that do not anneal.
A further advantage to the combined use of the prescribed additives is the ability to adjust the internal stress properties of the copper deposit. The capability of providing a copper deposit of desired stress is a significant advantage in gravure operations employing the Ballard Process where the copper foil is removed from the cylinder, as well as in other electro-forming applications. The stress values of the following examples were determined using the Brenner-Senderoff contractometer.
A plating bath is prepared containing 210 g/l of copper sulfate pentahydrate, 60 g/l of sulfuric acid and 50 ppm of chloride added as hydrochloric acid. A stress value of 3208 psi tensile is determined for this stock solution.
The bath of Example VI is modified by the addition of 20 mg/l of sulfurized benzene sulfonate and a stress value of 5945 psi compressive is obtained.
The bath of Example VII is modified by the addition of 20 mg/l of Pegol TDG-1250 and a zero stress value is obtained.
The bath of Example VIII is modified by the addition of 3 mg/l of 2-imidazolidinethione and a stress value of 1282 psi tensile is obtained.
Another advantage to the combined use of the prescribed additives is the ability to control the operating bath by Hull Cell analysis as indicated in the following table. Generally the bath is controlled by taking a sample from a plating bath and adding the sample to a Hull Cell; forming a deposit on a panel in the Hull Cell; determining the roughness or brightness of the deposit on the panel; and adding a mixture of an alkoxythio compound (C) and a sulfonated, sulfurized hydrocarbyl compound (D), or a mixture of (C), (D) and a grain refining thio compound (E). The roughness or brightness is determined by comparison to a control panel or a brightness range. The control panel and brightness range depends on the application and the determining of the range would be known to a person skilled in the art.
______________________________________Panel 1-1 1-2 2-1 Example V______________________________________CuSO4 5H2 O 210 g/l 210 g/l See Ex. VH2 SO4 60 g/l 60 g/l for detailsHCl 51 ppm 51 ppm of composi- tion usedPremix A 0.4% W(See Ex. V)Premix B 0.2% W(See Ex. V)Results smooth semi- bright smooth HCD satin bright rough HCD/ bright to HCD to Haze LCD MCD dull MCD to LCD______________________________________ HCD = High Current Density MCD = Mid Current Density LCD = Low Current Density
As can be seen from the above data, control of plating bath may occur by adding Premix A or Premix B. Premix A controls roughness of the panel deposit and Premix B controls brightness. By examining the panel produced from the Hull cell and using brightness and/or roughness specifications, an operator may control the plating by adding quantities of Premix A or Premix B. For instance, if the panel has roughness at the high current density, an operator may add Premix A to the bath. An operator may be human or mechanical, such as pumps controlled by a computer.

Two Decades of Democracy and Governance
Scholars, activists and policymakers gathered June 20-22 in Dakar for a three-day conference on democracy and governance in Africa. The focus was on the last two decades, when the number of electoral democracies in sub-Saharan Africa grew from 4 to 24 before slipping back to 18 in the last three years. Participants will discuss the various factors contributing to these changes, as well as what needs to be done to ensure that democratic governance delivers the goods in terms of achieving developmental goals.
The conference was organized by CODESRIA, the UN Economic Commission for Africa, and John Hopkins University's School for Advanced International Studies with support from TrustAfrica.

Pan African Parliament
Bhekinkosi Moyo, our Program Director, was a featured speaker at the October 2009 Conference on Transforming the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) into a Legislative Body. Held at the parliamentary headquarters, the conference explored the transformation of the PAP into a legislative body, the domestication of African Union decisions and the advocacy of African Parliamentary Knowledge Network with the different Parliaments in Africa.
Dr. Moyo's talk built on TrustAfrica's ongoing efforts to foster a closer working relationship between civil society and the PAP. These efforts include co-hosting a consultative dialogue with the Parliament in May 2009, which addressed its transition from an advisory body to a legislative body and the link between citizen participation and Africa's integration.

Our laboratory had developed a methodology to expand epithelial cells in culture by growing keratinocyte monolayers, under large volumes of medium that produces large numbers of keratinocytes that leave the monolayer and move into suspension. The cells have been defined as epithelial Pop Up Keratinocytes or ePUKs cells and appear to be highly suitable for clinical applications. In this publication we extend the characterization of the cells with a detailed analysis of the capabilities of the monolayer of a single culture flask to produce, over time, ePUK cells. The cells were characterized using standard epithelial markers for proliferation and differentiation. Analysis of morphology of the monolayer formed and total number of cells produced is presented for a variety of human epithelial cell strains. These keratinocytes provide an additional controlled human cell system for investigation of the mechanisms regulating epithelia cell growth and differentiation and since they are produced in large numbers, they are highly suitable for use in epithelial cell banking.

The Eyes of Van Gogh (Hardcover)
Special Order
A teenager finds solace in her art -- and her friends -- as she struggles to escape depression in this affecting new novel by Cathryn Clinton.
After all the moves from town to town, after all her mom's boyfriends and drinking and anger, Jude hopes things will be different in Ellenville. In her new high school, Jude starts to open up. Her art teacher admires her painting and encourages her interest in van Gogh. Soon she has two new friends and a romance that may save her from a dead-end future after all. But when life doesn't follow her plans, Jude finds herself staring into van Gogh's tortured eyes and seeing her own reflection. NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE, says a voice in her head. MAYBE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU WEREN'T HERE. With sensitivity and insight, Cathryn Clinton looks through the eyes of a troubled teen as she moves through darkness toward a merciful glimmer of light.
About the Author
Cathryn Clinton received her bachelor's degree in English from the University of Iowa and her master of fine arts degree from Vermont College. Her first novel, THE CALLING, was published in 2001. AboutA STONE IN MY HAND she says, "While in graduate school in 1998 I had a writing assignment: choose a picture of someone and write about that person. In an article about Gaza in National Geographic, I saw a picture of a young Palestinian girl holding a bird in her hand. There was a look of strength in her face. This intrigued me, and I wondered how this girl had survived both internally and externally when the conditions of her growing up years were so harsh. So I sat down and began writing the story of Malaak."

ObamaCare is twinkles in the sky better than
in-your-face exclusions and cherry picking.
Indeed many could not move between states
to take advantage of employment or real
estate opportunities lest they "go naked" all
the while the cherry-pickers' friends called
those who didn't like it all manner of stupid
false names childishly. (Though that's still
the case till 2014 for adults, of course.)
But otherwise it replaces it
with a blanket-universal
exquisitely, precisely oligopolistic structure--
essentially single provider indeed--cartel.
The high risk exchanges are "outskirts of Medicare,"
which is national health insurance for customers the
carriers don't want but take back again for extra
pay. Where then also paid specially to manage on
a capitation basis, then bango! credit due them
that does create an ounce of "accountable care" and
then there they have made a contribution to
rationalization. Outside helping the carriers
milk not just the easy money but the high risk
patients, that kind of rationalization will only
struggle to exist meaningfully in the high risk
exchanges, subject to funding, but you can bet
(I'd imagine) those will be in the same sights
as is Medicare.
Where monopoly is extractive, it's profoundly
less desirable for the customers, and needlessly
inefficient and expensive system-wide.
So someone has to get shafted.
So, in a monopolistic system the unprivileged
participants pay for their being controlled so that
they may have less desirable markets and so they
can have much worse outcomes than necessary.
For the cheaper low risk policies that the young will
shoot for the Bronze Tier is as rich as 60% medical loss
ratio (40% operational profit.)
There is a modest list of deductibles not allowed. But they
to me eminently unimpressive. If you have an ambiguous
thing on your skin or a maybe seriously broken toe the
deductible will be a deterrent. If you've an alarming red
splotch in an eye but it's 3 weeks till your deductible resets
you might be inclined to wait till January.
For the most part accountable care, value-basing, the like
is not a major factor, if much of one at all (those will
assist the cartel in squeezing what they can out of the really
risky people in the high risk exchanges.)
It has been unreimbursed cost has been shifted to those who
are covered, the carriers' risk pre-defined with them not caring,
with the non-paying people who have suffered tragedy
going bankrupt. With ObamaCare the carriers will capture much of that
money except to the extent those in the high risk exchanges
get funding shafted along with Medicare.
Taleb explains "static" here (as in this case it's cartel-static.)
It's the same as this, as you're using a static oligopoly,
nothing to do with capitalism vs. socialism.
Get the picture?
I noticed "single-payer" and whatnot in prior comments.
What this is still beats cherry-picking and exclusions, but
it's cartel-single-provider. If you boiled the handful of
controlling giants to one it's then that co's insurance policy,
and frankly a rather obfuscating one. People will hardly
be able to compare values between coverage levels.
I've a site where I've proposed risk equalization, same
escrow mechanism funding outcomes bonuses, and still-profit
incentive allowed to live with all other delivery systems
(yes HMO's are the most famous for particularly disincentivizing
hospitalizations though they are not needed to serve for
everything--my own doctor wrote 2 textbooks and doesn't
practice in one) but with immunity from the anti-trust laws
Those entities, I propose, should also have
by charter-requirement impacting physician
and patient representation on their boards.
The system can turn profits but it has to do
better than the 21% projected by ObamaCare
itself for health/GNP by 2019 with so many
shortcomings. And it has to have better
outcomes. Done really well, the U.S. can be
No. 1, not that it's important to best others.
But in fact even the UK's NHS supporters and
Canada's NHI supporters are looking for
ways to improve.
Any program conforming oligopoly will primarily benefit
the oligopolists. That's why so many government programs
get black eyes.
Economically, mathematically the opposite is thus:
empowering people enriches those who enable the
empowering, unless they're the actual monopolists.
Where the oligopoly shortchanges employment, such as
that taking a back seat in favor of massive
money supply concerns stemming from massive free
reserves, and if also there are concomitantly intensely
limited employment opportunities, then that begins
resembling supply side slavery.
Where one has no choice but to surrender their retirement
income to nominal interest rates for the same reason,
then that begins resembling demand side slavery.
The only differences from the familiar plantation are the
degree and the cotton. But understand, undoubtedly
Thomas Jefferson was a benevolent master to his slaves.
The slavery bit kicks in, to matters of degree, as in where
employment is thereby intensely limited, though most simply to one employer.
Then, remove the protection afforded by a union. Voila. Sharecropper.
On the demand side it's spinning wheels. Retirement savings'
income appropriated w/o choice not due to fair market behavior.
It used to be a single wage earner could raise a family in a house
and put a couple kids through college w/o incurring debt up to his scalp.
The Easter Islanders ate their trees. We incentivized it
and even made creating the adversity an important
profit center for the ultra rich because oligopolistic
systems self-destroy.
Maybe that's why the South was pushed over by the North.
And some people are wondering about comparisons,
$US / $Confederate.

A Filmmaker's Faith in God, if Not in Men
By DINITIA SMITH
Published: June 23, 1999
For many moviegoers there is almost nothing like sitting through a Neil LaBute film. Nothing more depressing on screen. Nothing more likely to induce despair, or more frightening, perhaps, for what it shows us about human beings. Sexual cruelty. Domination. Hatred. Mr. LaBute shoves them in your face.
''The meanest movies in Hollywood,'' Details magazine has said of Mr. LaBute's work.
And now with ''Bash, Latterday Plays,'' which opens tomorrow at the Douglas Fairbanks Theater and is to continue through July 24, Mr. LaBute has done it again, for the stage this time, in three separate monologues starring Ron Eldard, Calista Flockhart and Paul Rudd. The first two are about infanticide and the third is a brutal account of a gay bashing.
And yet here sits Mr. LaBute, a Mormon convert, father of two, who lives in a pleasant suburb north of Chicago, a big teddy bear of a man in an unironed shirt over a T-shirt, politely answering questions in a midtown restaurant. ''You're the last person in charge of what you write,'' Mr. LaBute, who is 36, said in his soft voice. The dark stories seem to pour out despite himself. In creating the monologues he said he consciously borrowed the techniques of Greek tragedy, like characters telling of horrific events that have occurred offstage.
He is also drawn to the monologue form because it allows the character to be ''as personal as possible,'' he said.
Mr. LaBute is best known for his film ''In the Company of Men,'' about two men who deliberately set out to destroy a young deaf woman by seducing and then brutally rejecting her. In his second film, ''Your Friends and Neighbors,'' about emotional violence and sexual failure among a group of friends, a character announces that the best sex he ever had was when he participated in the gang rape of a boy in high school.
In ''Bash, Latterday Plays,'' which is directed by Joe Mantello, the characters are all associated to varying degrees with Mormonism, a first in Mr. LaBute's work.
In ''Medea Redux,'' one of the play's monologues, Ms. Flockhart, on hiatus from the television show ''Ally McBeal,'' plays a teen-ager who has been seduced by her teacher and becomes pregnant. When he abandons her, she exacts a terrible revenge. Ms. Flockart does not portray the teen-ager as a victim, she said. ''She's betrayed, but strong and capable and smart and hurt. She's Medea.''
In the evening's second segment, ''Iphegenia in Orem,'' Mr. Eldard plays a young executive who recounts two stories, one about being told he is going to lose his job and the other about his baby daughter's sudden death.
The final segment of the play, ''A Gaggle of Saints,'' is a dual monologue with Mr. Rudd and Ms. Flockhart. Mr. Rudd portrays a handsome, initially charming college student who, during a night on the town with his girlfriend, beats a gay man in a bathroom in Central Park.
The trick of playing such a brutal figure, said Mr. Rudd, whose most recent stage role was Orsino in the Lincoln Center Theater production of ''Twelfth Night,'' ''is getting the audience on your side'' so that it will stay with the character.
Mr. Rudd's monologue is interwoven with that of Ms. Flockhart. She plays his girlfriend, describing a wonderful weekend in New York, blissfully ignoring whatever knowledge of his behavior she might carry in her heart. ''I view her as somebody in denial,'' Ms. Flockhart said, ''able to shut out the dark, ugly truth, but she knows the truth fully.''
Mr. LaBute said he chose Ms. Flockhart for the play because ''she comes in with a great deal of good will,'' because of her role on ''Ally McBeal.'' ''A lot of people put a certain kind of trust in her,'' Mr. LaBute said. ''I want to see how that works when you lead them into a place they may not want to go.''
Ms. Flockhart has performed on Broadway in ''Three Sisters'' and ''The Glass Menagerie,'' but she said she had never acted in anything like ''Bash,'' reciting for 35 minutes straight before an audience without cues or interaction with other actors.
Despite the play's Mormon subtext, Mr. LaBute said he does not intend ''Bash'' to be a commentary on Mormonism. He uses Mormonism because he is familiar with it, he said. In the play it is ''a universal for characters brought up under a religious authority. You would imagine they would know better. But just being part of a religion doesn't make you good.''
But where does the preoccupation with violence and evil come from? Mr. LaBute, who was raised in Spokane, Wash., hints at a difficult relationship with his father, who was a truck driver.
''There is a reaction to my father in terms of the severity of my male characters,'' he said. ''I found my father to be a difficult character to grow up with.'' When his mother saw ''In the Company of Men,'' with its sadistic male characters, Mr. LaBute recounts, she said, '' 'Oh, that was his father.' ''
''He was gregarious, quite charming, very handsome,'' Mr. LaBute said of his father. ''He had lots of great qualities from afar. But on closer examination the painting did not hold its light.'' His parents are now divorced, and he and his father are ''pretty much estranged,'' he said.

My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-Up (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Russell Brand learned early on to make a joke of fear and failure. From a troubled childhood in industrial Essex, England, to his descent into addictions to alcohol, drugs, and sex in the seamy underbelly of London, Brand has seen his share of both and miraculously lived to tell the tale. In My Booky Wook he leads readers on a rollicking journey through his disastrous school career, his infamous antics on MTV, and his multifarious sexual adventures. But this irreverent memoir is a story not simply of struggle but also of redemption, a testament to the difficulty of discovering what you want from life and the remarkable power of a bloody-minded determination to get it. My Booky Wook is a giddy trip through the brilliant mind of one of Britain's most valuable exports.
About the Author
Russell Brand is a comedian, journalist, TV and radio presenter, and actor. He has won numerous awards including Time Out s Comedian of the Year, Best Newcomer at the British Comedy Awards, Best TV Performer at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards, and Most Stylish Man at GQ s Men of the Year Awards. The first installment of his autobiography, My Booky Wook, was a New York Times bestseller.
Praise For…
A child's garden of vices, My Booky Wook is also a relentless ride with a comic mind clearly at the wheel. . . . The bloke can write. He rhapsodizes about heroin better than anyone since Jim Carroll. . . . Compelling.
-New York Times Book Review
"'The most talented stand-up comedian to emerge in Britain this decade."
-Daily Telegraph (London)
"A scandalous, libidinous memoir. . . . There is nothing [Brand] won't reveal in search of a laugh and nothing he hasn't done in search of love or experience or oblivion. . . . . An exceptional combination of candor, ardor, and humor.
-The Guardian
"I laughed out loud at least a dozen times. . . . To my shame, I'll admit I sort of liked My Booky Wook."
-New York Times
"Hilarious. . . . A richly detailed memoir that's peppered with both evocative descriptions of the author's homeland and memorable lines... Brand promises here another tome 'about how it feels to be famous.' To my shame, I can't wait."
-Entertainment Weekly

Download the Sonship Audio Lectures
Live the Theology You Believe!
Many of us understand faith intellectually, but our hearts have not quite kept up with our heads. Sonship is designed to help you take some of the glorious theological truths of the gospel "truths you may know in your head" and apply them to the nitty-gritty reality of daily life. You'll find that as the gospel remakes you, there is greater joy and desire to share the wonderful news of God's loving-kindness with others.
The 16-lesson updated and reformatted edition of Sonship challenges participants to take basic gospel truth and apply it deeply to their lives. It is designed to be used with Sonship Audio and the Mentored Sonship Program. Many have adapted it for use in small groups and Sunday schools.
Author Bio
Serge means "joining together rough edges to form a smooth seam." Serge (formerly World Harvest Mission) is a ministry that sees God weaving together the ragged parts of a fallen world with his goodness, making the tattered beautiful. This grace compels his people to go, to join their lives with the communities Serge serves around the world, as Christ makes all things new. This is God's grace at the fray. Serge's work consists of sending and caring for missionaries, discipling people around the world, and developing resources—like Sonship and The Gospel-Centered Life—for spiritual growth. Learn more about Serge's work worldwide.
"I know of no program more committed to helping believers understand the beauty of the gospel, the necessity of repentance and the goodness of a life transformed by God's grace. The Sonship material is a great blessing that continues to grow in discernment as well as positive influence."
- Bryan Chapell, Author of Christ-Centered Preaching; Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church
"The Sonship course does something that the church sometimes forgets to do: it sits on the gospel. It immerses you in the love of God, coming at the gospel from every angle. And it does that, not by dumbing down our sin, but by highlighting it, because our false loves, our idols, keep us from our best love, the love of the Father. That's why its called Sonship."
- Paul Miller, Director of SeeJesus; author of A Praying Life
"In my own life there has been no seminar, conference, book, or teaching aid which has given me as profound an understanding and experience of the implications of the gospel as Sonship."

"Sonship has been one of the most influential, liberating studies in my life as a man and as a minister. Fears about life are vanishing through growing faith in my Savior as a child (an heir) of a loving Father. And the joy of walking with others through the class and seeing the seeds of their faith blossom is second only to the renewed joy of my salvation."
- Al Kimball, Pastor of Pastoral Care, Community Evangelical Free Church, Elverson, PA
"I listened to the Sonship lectures some years ago when I was struggling for motivation to go on in ministry. These lectures breathed new spiritual life into me and many others during that time. I have listened to them several times since then, and each time God has worked through them to renew my appreciation of my sin, His grace, and His call to love others. I heartily commend these lectures to others who, like myself, who need ongoing spiritual renewal!"
- Gary DeLashmutt, Senior Pastor, Xenos Christian Fellowship, Columbus, Ohio

I needed a pair of shoes that were easy to get on and off for work and that would hold up to the Buffalo weather and these are perfect. I've always had good luck with Sperry topsiders and these shoes are no different. They fit perfect and are comfortable right out of the box. I would definitely recommend these shoes!

I have only worn them a few times but I can tell that they are going to be a favorite! Very comfortable from the beginning. I've had numerous Sperry shoes in the past and they are always durable and look nice for a long time.
Ecowarrior / North Carolina
I have owned more than 50 pairs of Sperry deck shoes over the last 20 years and I have enjoyed them all. I am an outdoor person so I cannot always be kind to my footwear, but Sperry has not let me down. This latest purchase (The Sea Kite Sport Moc by Sperry) is truly amazing. It seems to have cushioning in the support as well as in the sidewalls of the shoe. I have never worn anything so comfortable...and it is a very cool design. Thanks Sperry and Orvis!!!

With angry white men bringing their guns too close to the president, Josh Marshall writes: "Let's be honest with ourselves: the American right has a deep-seated problem with political violence. It's deep-seated; it's recurrent and it's real."
For all the hatred of President Bush, Marshall explains, the last administration saw nothing like the Oklahoma City bombing or attempt on President Clinton's life in terms of domestic political violence.
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo via Daily Kos:
It's true that there are some regional divergences at work here. Weapons just don't get carried around in public in say New Jersey or Connecticut the way they do in the South or especially the west.
But let's be honest about what this is about. The right—the modern American right—has a very troubled history with political violence. The ideological pattern is clear going back at least thirty years and arguably far longer. A simple review of the 1990s, particularly 1993, 1994, culminating in many respects in the tragic 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building in April 1995 tells the tale. Mix in the militias, the thankfully inept attempt on President Clinton's life a few months before Oklahoma City (see Francisco Duran) and it's all really not a pretty picture.

Woman jailed on drug chargeFebruary 18,2013Police said a Rutland woman wanted for failing to appear at her arraignment for crack cocaine possession was in possession of crack cocaine during a traffic stop Friday night.
Shortly before midnight, police stopped Chantelle M. Dewey, 33, on Curtis Avenue after recognizing her and knowing she had an active arrest warrant for not showing up Feb. 11 in Rutland criminal court to answer charges of possessing crack cocaine, narcotics and marijuana, stemming from an incident Dec. 13.
After executing a search warrant on Deweys vehicle Saturday, police allegedly found 5 grams of crack cocaine. Sunday, police located Dewey on State Street and charged her with felony possession of crack cocaine. Police also charged Dewey with violating the conditions of her release on prior charges of unlawful mischief and disorderly conduct.
Dewey was held in Rutland jail on $25,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Rutland criminal court.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

I've checked out RSS Poster - it works very well. Reposts the whole article and never had a problem with the technical side.
But now I am looking for a plugin that will do the same:
Grab an RSS feed, and make a post in my blog for each rss item, and then put ONLY an excerpt of the source article, along with a link.
Someone? Anyone please?

England are pressing on towards a second successive Test victory in this Ashes series at Lord's after a thrilling win at Trent Bridge. The chances of Australia hitting back are now, well, not good.
Australia conceded a pretty substantial 233-run deficit from the first innings after they were skittled out for a meagre 128, and the difficulty of their task now is hard to overstate.
'But what if Michael Clarke produces an inspired century?'; 'What if England bowl terribly?'; 'But the pitch remains pretty good'. It all sounds a bit like clutching at straws for the tourists.
The reason that Clarke's side are very unlikely to recover and win the second Test at the home of cricket, not because England are immune from contriving to let their opponents back into a match, but because history is not on Australia's side.
The fact is that Australia have only ever won four Ashes Tests in England after conceding a first-innings deficit.
That does not make a dramatic response seem at all likely.
The largest first-innings deficit that Australia have conceded in an Ashes Test which they won was 177 runs back in 1961 at Old Trafford.
Furthermore, the last time that Australia fought back to win an Ashes Test on English soil after falling behind from the first innings was back in that famous series in 1981.
The four previous occasions Australia have won an Ashes Test in England after conceding a first-innings deficit:
- 1882, The Oval (deficit 38)
- 1948, Headingley (deficit 38)
- 1961, Old Trafford (deficit 177)
- 1981, Trent Bridge (deficit 6)
