New Orleans, Louisiana

(As Prepared for Delivery)
- Good morning. I'm glad to be here at the National Safety Congress.
- My remarks this morning will focus on two things: the progress OSHA is making in 2004 - but as I do that keep in mind that there is much more we need to do and we need your innovative and creative ideas to continuously improve. The second issue I want to talk about is a new initiative we are launching this week which will result in fewer deaths on the job, reduce thousands of workplace injuries, and save millions of taxpayer dollars.
- Now, as a safety and health professional, I am interested in one thing -- results -- reducing what I call the triple bottom line (TBL) of injuries, illnesses and loss of life.
- As someone once said, "The world is not interested in the storms you encountered, but whether you brought in the ship."
- I wouldn't say that our ship has come in until we reach our ultimate goal of zero -- a TBL of zero. But we are making progress and we are on course. Workplace loss of life declined by 6.6% according to the latest BLS fatality census -- the lowest ever recorded.
- And workplace injuries and illnesses are also declining, in some cases dramatically despite an increase in total employment.
- The triple bottom line is the ultimate measure of our success. I have a compass on my desk as a reminder to me to set the proper course to reach that ultimate zero TBL, to stay the course and constantly check our course to assure that we achieve maximum progress toward that target or maximum return on our investment.
- Our course is a balanced approach with strong, fair and effective enforcement; outreach, education and compliance assistance; and partnerships and cooperative programs.
- In enforcement:
- We've increased inspections by nearly 10% from 2000 to 2003. And we will exceed our inspection goals for FY 2004.
- We've strengthened our inspection process to achieve better results toward the triple bottom line by establishing an Enhanced Enforcement Program. This five-pronged approach is designed to address employers who've been repeatedly cited, but haven't corrected their problems.
- More than 200 inspections conducted thus far this year fall into this category.
- And we are filing section 11(b) actions with the courts and seeking contempt orders, as sites do not fulfill their obligations under the settlements.
- We will count these as successes only if these sites change their workplaces, achieve sustainable compliance and reduce the triple bottom line.
- We've increased inspections by nearly 10% from 2000 to 2003. And we will exceed our inspection goals for FY 2004.
- We're also improving our inspection targeting system.
- A recent study showed that our site specific targeting (SST) program is effective.
- When we sent letters to the 14,000 employers who have high injury and illness rates -- their injury and illness rates improved by 5% over the subsequent three years.
- And when we followed up with an inspection of the workplace, they experienced a 12 to 13.8% drop in injuries and illnesses over the next three years.
- Earlier this summer, we asked for public comments on the SST program, so that we can make it even more effective.
- Davis Layne [Deputy Assistant Secretary], Rich Fairfax [Director of Enforcement Programs], and our regional administrators are doing a great job and are interested in improving this program.
- We are also improving our people and processes.
- We are updating our directives and making good progress in increasing our professional certifications.
- We have almost doubled the number of certified OSHA professionals in just three years.
- And through our OSHA Training Institute, Hank Payne and his team are revising our training program for compliance officers, which we expect to begin at this time next year.
- Our revised training program focuses on 20 job competencies.
- It will increase required training from the current 8 weeks to a 10- to 12-week program.
- And late next month,we will offer a new "Criminal Investigation Course" to improve our investigative abilities to support criminal actions if necessary.
- Now to the Regulatory front...
- And I am proud of our regulatory agenda and what we are accomplishing. The regulatory agenda is no longer providing cover for us -- and believe me, I have experienced that lack of cover.
- But it lists what we are really working on, and you can hold us accountable for meeting the timelines in the agenda.
- And Steve Witt [Director of Standards and Guidance] is steering this ship and is on course.
- In outreach, education and compliance assistance:
- We've expanded our webpage offerings.
- We now have more than 45 eTools.
- We have MyOSHA and QuickStart to help our 50 million visitors navigate through our website.
- QuickTakes -- our email newsletter now has over 50,000 subscribers.
- Our expanded toll-free helpline (1-800-321-OSHA) will handle more than 160,000 calls this year -- up 17% in just the past two years.
- And in 2003, over 310,000 individuals were trained in safety and health through outreach trainers, Susan Harwood grants, OSHA Education Centers and the OSHA Training Institute.
- We've expanded our webpage offerings.
- In partnerships and cooperative programs:
- We have substantially expanded every partnership program over the past three years.
And our Strategic Partnerships have increased from 225 to nearly 340 -- more than a 50% increase.
We began with 11 Alliances in 2002; today we have nearly 300 -- including the one with the National Safety Council signed at the National Safety Congress last year. The whole purpose of Alliances is to work with trade associations, unions, employers, professional societies and others to improve worker safety and health among their members.
- I am proud to say we now have 1153 Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) sites -- over a 48% increase since 2001.
- But we want to have more sites participate in VPP -- we want more workplaces developing superior safety and health programs and experiencing a TBL that is 50% below their industry's average.
We want 8,000 sites in the program.
- To get there, we have established two new pilots.
- OSHA Challenge offers a three-phase stepping stone to VPP.
We launched the pilot in May with nine charter administrators who will sponsor about 10 sites each.
- We have also begun our VPP Corporate pilot which is an effort to streamline the application and review process for organizations who have a strong corporate oversight program and who want to bring their workplaces into VPP.
- We have six corporations and the U.S. Postal Service piloting this program.
- The third part of our VPP expansion is VPP Construction.
Two weeks ago we published a proposal in the Federal Register to modify VPP to better fit the needs of the construction industry.
By providing a way for short-term, mobile workplaces to qualify for VPP STAR or Merit, we are creating a better way for contractors, owners, and the public to recognize construction organizations and worksites that have superior safety and health programs and performance.
- It will be a great help for those who try to pre-qualify contractors and subcontractors before they do the work.
- This is the most significant addition to our Voluntary Protection Programs in over 20 years, and it has the potential to make a significant impact on the TBL in high injury, illness and loss of life industries.
- I want to thank Paula White [Director of Cooperative and State Programs], Cathy Oliver [Office of Partnerships and Recognition] and their folks and the industry, union and VPP-PA representatives for helping us take this very important step.
- Please review this Federal Register notice on VPP and share your comments with us.
- You have my word; we will do this in a way that will maintain the quality and integrity of VPP.
- Now let's talk about VPP beyond the U.S.
- Another emerging area for OSHA is the international front.
- We've assisted the safety authorities in Dublin and Belfast to create a VPP-like program for Ireland which was launched in June.
- In July, we signed documents with Mexico that reinforce our cooperation with 45 consulates in the U.S. to assure safe and healthful working conditions for Mexican workers in the U.S.
- Last week, I spoke at the "International Congress on Labour Inspections" -- hosted by Mexico in Mexico City.
- And yesterday, we met with safety and health leaders from both Mexico and Canada to continue our tri-national cooperation on safety and health.
- And in June, we signed an agreement with China to work with the Chinese State Administration of Work Safety on such issues as enforcement, emergency response, the role of private insurance in worker safety and health, raising public awareness on worker safety and health, data collection and analysis, and hazardous chemical regulation and enforcement.
- Two weeks ago, I spoke at the 2nd China International Forum on Work Safety in Beijing and our delegation worked with our Chinese counterparts to develop specific goals and results related to this agreement.
- On the home front, we're continuing to increase our outreach to Hispanic employers and workers.
- In July in Orlando, we held the first ever DOL-OSHA Hispanic Safety and Health Summit for more than 500 workers, employers and others.
- We discussed language and cultural barriers as well as fears and obstacles recent immigrants face as they try to make a living in a new country.
- The purpose of the Summit was to identify and share best practices.
- We heard about how the Operating Engineers, Dell Inc., Miller & Long, and many, many others are addressing the influx of immigrant workers.
- The Summit was a great success, as the 500-plus attendees can attest.
- But we need to do more.
- Now one of the most critical issues we need to address if we want to reduce the TBL is motor vehicle safety.
- Deaths and injuries from traffic crashes are a worldwide concern. Across the globe each year, 1.2 million people are killed. Up to 50 million more are injured.
- As a result, the World Health Organization is focusing on this issue throughout 2004.
- In the U.S., traffic crashes claim 41,000 lives each year and cost our nation $150 billion.
- This is of concern to all of us -- but particularly to those committed to preventing deaths on the job.
- That's because highway incidents are the leading cause of occupational deaths.
- Nearly one-quarter of on-the-job fatalities involve motor vehicle incidents.
- If we're serious about driving toward zero injuries, illnesses and loss of life, we must find a way to reduce fatal and serious injuries in motor vehicle crashes.
- And we've said in our five-year Strategic Management Plan that we will do that through outreach, compliance assistance and partnerships.
- We are now working on several initiatives already in place.
- For example, we're working with the FedNet team of seven federal departments to promote safe driving among teen workers.
- We have an Alliance with the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) to share information on best practices. Together, we are working on printed materials, electronic tools on fleet safety, and developing a joint presentation on safe driving practices.
- We have established a Motor Vehicle Safety page on the OSHA website with the help of NETS and through our Alliance with the National Safety Council.
- The page, which will be routinely updated, also includes a number of very useful documents developed by NIOSH.
- And we all know that the single best, proven way to bring down deaths and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes is to increase the use of seat belts -- not just in the front seats -- but in all seats of a moving motor vehicle.
- If just 1% more Americans used seat belts, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that we would save 250 lives, prevent 4,000 moderate-to-critical injuries and cut crash costs by $800 million.
- To look at this from the other side -- seat belts save more than 14,000 lives each year and help us avoid about $50 billion in costs for medical care, lost productivity and other consequences of traffic injuries.
- It's a simple fact that wearing your seat belt can reduce your risk of dying in a traffic crash in a car by 45%, and by as much as 60% in a truck or SUV. Everyone ought to wear a seat belt -- every time they ride, in every seat they sit in, in every vehicle they use.
- OSHA's effort to encourage seat belt use on the job will begin in our own shop, the federal sector.
- The federal government is our nation's largest employer, with nearly 3 million civilian employees.
- The federal government also operates the world's biggest vehicle fleet.
- The U.S. General Service Administration alone has more than 200,000 vehicles. Other federal agencies have additional vehicles.
- Further, we know that motor vehicle safety is a serious concern for government employees.
- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half of the state and federal workers who lost their lives on the job from 1992 to 2001 died in transportation incidents.
- About one-fourth of these workers died in motor vehicle crashes -- similar to the private sector rate.
- Today, OSHA is launching "Every Belt - Every Ride."
- This is a promotional campaign to encourage federal workers to wear their seat belts at all times in all stations of a moving motor vehicle.
- Actually, Executive Order 13043 REQUIRES federal employees traveling on public business to wear seat belts -- whether they're driving, riding as passengers -- front seat or back -- in a taxicab or government car.
- We want the federal government to serve as a model for the rest of the country and emphasize the practice of wearing seat belts in all stations of a moving motor vehicle.
- This is our obligation under the current Executive Order and an obligation as a federal worker.
- At 10:30 this morning, we're joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in sponsoring a Motor Vehicle Safety Symposium for federal safety and health staff at the Royal Sonesta Hotel.
- The symposium features speakers who will discuss the value of seat belt programs and share their experience in managing effective seat belt programs. We have experts from both the public and private sector.
- And Brigadier General Joe Smith, the Director of Army Safety, is our keynote luncheon speaker.
- Through OSHA offices and Federal Field Safety and Health Councils, we'll be distributing "Every Belt-Every Ride" decals as reminders to federal employees to buckle up.
- We've developed flyers for employee bulletin boards, which can be downloaded from our Motor Vehicle Safety webpage and from the federal agency safety and health webpage.
- We'll be making available additional outreach materials such as employee pay slip messages and suggested communications from agency heads.
- We'll encourage federal agencies and departments to follow the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) example and provide the National Safety Council's defensive driving course to their employees.
- We're working to offer that course to all Labor Department employees as part of our observance of NETS Drive Safely Work Week, October 4-8.
- While OSHA's focus is the federal workforce, we'd be delighted to see other organizations promote seat belt use for other workers in all stations as well.
- And we'd love to work in partnership with groups that want to do that.
- In closing, OSHA has made some tremendous progress in 2004.
- We've tried to be more business-like and results-oriented, and I am very proud of our people and what we have done in getting maximum return of the taxpayers' investment and the maximum return measured against the triple bottom line. A dollar invested wisely is another life saved or injury or illness avoided.
- We must continue to search for better ways to impact the triple bottom line and improve our return on investment.
- Every day we need to be innovative and creative, evaluate and improve our programs and systems, improve our training and competencies, improve our relationships with employers, workers, associations and the public, and improve our focus on the only result that really counts -- saving workers lives and reducing workplace injuries and illnesses.
- While I am very proud of what we have accomplished over the years, I am more excited about the future and the gains yet to be realized.
- Because of all our efforts and close working relationships more workers will go home to their families healthy and sound than ever before.
- That is what I live for. That is what OSHA exists for, and that is what we all work for.
- Thank you.

I am writing to make you aware of a situation that happened in my dealings with The Tile Shop store in Glen Allen, VA (Richmond). The Tile Shop is a chain that has locations all over the country.
On Saturday, 11/29, I talked to a salesperson about Carrara marble tile for my bathroom remodel. Because I had heard from someone that an order of the same tile I was considering had arrived and the tile was yellow (not just naturally varied in color as marble is apt to be, but really yellow...it was described as "the color of urine" to me), I asked the salesperson specifically about that problem. She quickly acknowledged that there had been a problem with yellow tile, but that was many months ago and there would be no problem with my tile. I believed her and placed an order for approximately $2700 worth of Carrara basketweave, subway tile, 12x12, and trim. I was told that I would get a call on Wednesday when the tile was due in the store.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, 12/3, I called The Tile Shop myself because I hadn't heard from them. They confirmed that my tile had arrived and I drove an hour to the store to pick it up. Foolishly, I trusted that my salesperson had told me the truth and I didn't check the tiles for the yellowing until I got home, when I found out that I had 30 boxes of bad tile. Putting the samples (I went through the sample boxes on the showroom floor to make sure I got all the color variations covered) next to what was delivered, the difference was obvious (I have posted pictures on the internet and everyone who has seen them has agreed). I called the store immediately and my salesperson assured me that she could get replacement tile by Friday so my renovation could start on Monday, as scheduled. She also promised that she would get the tile to me and not make me haul it back to the store.
On Friday, 12/4, I called the store again after not hearing from them. She said she had replacement subway tile, but all the basketweave in the store was yellowed tile. In essence, she was telling me that she lied to me the previous Saturday when she said yellowed tile was no longer a problem. She then promised me that she'd have floor tile for me by Monday, when my bathroom remodel was supposed to start.
On Wednesday, 12/10, I called The Tile Shop yet again because I had not heard from them. My salesperson asked me to give her until that night to find the tile.
Today, Thursday, 12/11, she called me (the first time The Tile Shop has initiated a call to me) to say that she couldn't find the proper tile. I emailed the corporate offices about what happened, then filed a Better Business Bureau report. Within an hour of submitting those two items, the salesperson was on the phone with me, apologizing for the entire ordeal. She is hoping to have some tile for me this Saturday, but I told her that after being lied to, I am returned everything and ordering from a different store.
I am so frustrated with The Tile Shop. First of all, what is on display can not be delivered. My salesperson said that no store she contacted had basketweave that looked like the samples on display in the showroom; all had yellowed tile. Second, employees lie to make a sale (The Tile Shop staff is paid on commission). Third, employees do not communicate as they promise to.
What will be done to correct this problem? The Tile Shop should remove all marble tile samples from the showroom floor and replace them with samples that accurately depict the quality of the tile they can deliver and train employees to communicate with customers honestly and openly. I run a remodeling/interior design website and frequent many others. My story has already been posted on three high-traffic design/renovation forums and I will continue to tell it to anyone who is considering shopping at The Tile Shop.
Needless to say, the bathroom that was supposed to be completed before Christmas probably won't even be started until after the holidays, thanks to The Tile Shop.

Be sure to raise your shields before confronting those pesky energy vampires (a 3X MIRROR shield if you dare :chuckle:) The following were found and removed from your heart wall: Psychic trauma [color=red]taken for granted / worthless[/color] age 25 Psychic trauma [color=red]low self esteem / worthless[/color] age 28 PreNatal [color=red]overwhelm[/color] from your mom in the 3rd trimester The ages can be off a year or two. The emotions on the Emotion Code chart are not the only emotions that can be trapped. If it does not resonate that you had that exact emotion, the one listed may have the next closest vibration to the actual emotion - such as worthless & useless, or humiliation and embarrassment. Even if the age is off, or the exact emotion is off, that ball of energy was released... I don't know what will happen, but our goal is always to balance the body as much as possible, so the body's natural healing ability can take over. [color=olive] -----Psychic Trauma - When 2 emotions are felt simultaneously, they can become trapped into one ball of energy [/color] [color=olive]-------- PreNatal is received during pregnancy, usually from mother, usually during 3rd trimester.[/color] this is all your body wanted to release at this time, it needs to process. [color=olive]"Doing The Emotion Code is like doing surgery on the energy body. We are literally looking for "malignant" or harmful energies that need to be removed, then we remove them, and the energy body has to heal and reorganize or regain it's balance. If you were to do actual surgery to have a tumor removed, you would expect to have at least a few days of downtime afterward. Your surgeon would also likely tell you what to expect during this healing time, and he or she would also advise you to get extra rest in order to allow the body to heal. The advice after a session with The Emotion Code is just about the same! Be aware that if you feel out of sorts, have changes in your sleeping pattern, vivid dreams or emotional ups and downs, this is totally normal! Drink lots of water, eat healthy and get lots of rest, and let your energy body heal itself. You may not notice anything weird or negative, you might just feel great, but it's better to be aware just in case."[/color] Thanks for allowing me to help your body remove your heart wall! msz :red heart: [/quote] woohoo ill send you my feedback over the next week. so far ive felt light better dreams and sleep and work reaching conclusion which had been pending for eons. is this done or is there any other TE that might need removal? Thanks so much msz xoxoxox [/quote]
Original Message
I have discovered it is probably better to let the body release what it wants to - it knows best what is the most bothersome.
So unless you are in a lot of pain from one issue that no body can figure out what is causing it - My sessions will be
to ask the body to release what it wants to
... That seems to get better results anyway.

Emotions that we experience can have physical effects on us.
These emotions are actually energies that can become lodged in the body
and are called trapped emotions.
Video of Dr Nelson, who wrote The Emotion Code:
Warning Signs:
Physical pain or disease
Anxiety or depression
Can't find love
Can't feel positive
Can't forget the past
Sabotage relationships
Numb or disconnected
Cry frequently
Getting Rid Of Bad Feelings:
Be aware of feelings
Let negative emotions leave
Realize your own power
Choose positive emotions
Release your old, trapped emotions (with a magnet)
After using kinesiology (muscle testing) to ask if you have any trapped emotions,
Dr. Bradly Nelson runs a magnet along part of the governing
meridian a few times - which allows the body to stop holding onto and
release the trapped emotion.
Dr Nelson, who wrote the book The Emotion Code, believes trapped
emotions count for 90% of pain.
here is the list of emotions he uses:

Drugs have a very small presence at Harvard. Marijuana is certainly the most prevalent, while harder drugs such as cocaine are often rumored to be the drug of choice for a small minority. However, these tend to be rumors and should not be trusted completely. The overwhelming majority of students avoids all drug use and enjoys the ability to engage in a drug-free social life.
Students also note that for those interested in drug use, there are a number of outlets, especially within the city of Boston. All in all, Harvard receives high marks for its ability to keep drug use to a minimum and facilitate an academic and social life that is not inhibited by drugs.

Skip to comments.How Obama Thinks (Best, most thorough article on Obama's pysche I have seen yet)
Posted on 09/09/2010 7:41:16 AM PDT by milwguy
Obama Sr. was an economist, and in 1965 he published an important article in the East Africa Journal called "Problems Facing Our Socialism." Obama Sr. wasn't a doctrinaire socialist; rather, he saw state appropriation of wealth as a necessary means to achieve the anticolonial objective of taking resources away from the foreign looters and restoring them to the people of Africa. For Obama Sr. this was an issue of national autonomy. "Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?"
As he put it, "We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now." The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed

"D'Souza's right. Barack Senior's Ghost is running the White House."
There are ghosts...and there are evil spirits.
Thanks. When I came to that passage, it hit me like a ton of bricks. EVERYTHING about the POTUS and his seemingly bizarre actions since he took office (from bowing to kings and despots, apologizing for America, to the takeover of banks, auto companies, etc) made perfect sense when looked at from the perspective of the author.
I especially gave extra weight to the author's personal experience in post colonial India. I really think all FReepers should be sending this to their friends and family, because the man in the White House is even more dangerous to our country than I have previously believed.
I will also say the talking heads on MSNBC will have their heads explode when this issue of FORBES hits the newstands. I may tune in to Keith Olberfurher a few times that week just to see him melt down. House and Senate Dems will also be dreading being asked about the article as well.
Yes that is an interesting observation. It makes me appreciate Ronald Reagan and his achievements even more. He had an imperfect dad as well. Many Americans have grown up without fathers, due to misfortune, abandonment and other causes, and have not parlayed that into traitorous behavior against this Republic. No way could Obama have been elected without the concerted effort of a myriad of forces, international and home grown, bent on destroying this country for their own particular purposes. His background made him the perfect candidate to front for the powers behind the teleprompter.
DSouza hits a home run..This article truly is EXTRAORDINARY.
a very scary reality check for all of us.
Thanks for posting this.
PING to a must read!
Here's more, from How Obama Thinks (Page 2 of 5):
"...We don't have to speculate because the President tells us himself in his autobiography, Dreams from My Father.
According to Obama, his dream is his father's dream.
Notice that his title is not Dreams of My Father but rather Dreams from My Father.
Obama isn't writing about his father's dreams; he is writing about the dreams he received from his father.
So who was Barack Obama Sr.?
He was a Luo tribesman who grew up in Kenya and studied at Harvard...
-- snip --
...But to his son, the elder Obama represented a great and noble cause, the cause of anticolonialism.
Obama Sr. grew up during Africa's struggle to be free of European rule, and he was one of the early generation of Africans chosen to study in America and then to shape his country's future.
I know a great deal about anticolonialism, because I am a native of Mumbai, India.
I am part of the first Indian generation to be born after my country's independence from the British. Anticolonialism was the rallying cry of Third World politics for much of the second half of the 20th century. To most Americans, however, anticolonialism is an unfamiliar idea, so let me explain it.
Anticolonialism is the doctrine that rich countries of the West got rich by invading, occupying and looting poor countries of Asia, Africa and South America..." -- Dinesh D'Souza
I forgot something else, something important.
The opposition candidate, McCain, was abominable. He couldn't explain why he wanted to be President. He couldn't explain why he was a better choice than Obama. In fact, he went out of his way to state that Obama was a good guy and would be a fine president.
He didn't really want to be president. He would have been nearly as bad as Obama, in all probability.
So what my earlier explanation missed was this: you can't beat something with nothing. McCain was nothing. He offered nothing except "I'm the Republican candidate, I don't really think my party has anything better to offer, and the other guy would be a fine choice."
Impeachment or resignation to follow in 2011.
Agreed. Although Americans seem to fall for the new face ("the outsider") far too often in politics. We set ourselves up as easy targets because we want to project our own beliefs and values onto the next blank slate. We conservatives are no better as we all wait breathlessly for our own Great Conservative Pumpkin to rise up from the pumpkin patch and lead us to victory.
When I came to that passage, it hit me like a ton of bricks.Me, too!
EVERYTHING about the POTUS and his seemingly bizarre actions since he took office (from bowing to kings and despots, apologizing for America, to the takeover of banks, auto companies, etc) made perfect sense when looked at from the perspective of the author.Exactly!
THANK YOU for posting this. :o)
I've been saying for two full years now that The Won wants to turn this country into a third-world socialist dung-heap, but D'Souza does an excellent job of filling in the details of "why" he wants to do it and "how" he intends to.
That's because he didn't want to be President.
He was perfectly happy being a Senator.
He fought much harder against J.D. Hayworth than he fought against The Won.
Good highlight. Those paragraphs hit me the same way..central. Have you ever read Dinesh's book 'What's So Great About America?' It was a great book that went to the heart of the matter of 'colonialism'/ 'imperialism'. It completely destroyed the liberal lexicon on so called American 'imperialism'. I am sure it gave folks like Obama,Ayers and Chomsky heartburn....lol!
"We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now."
But the "how" for me is different. You prevent this by having freedom, not the govt doing the same thing as what you are trying to avoid. One of the great things of our society is the freedom to move up and down...............
Is it true that rich countries of West got rich by invading, occupying and looting poor countries? Or is this a convenient excuse for natives to upend their so called oppressors and take over the control of the country? It seems to me that more often than not the resulting dictatorship really demonstrates what invading, occupying a looting is all about as we see in Haiti, Zimbabwe, Kenya where the poor really get poorer.
The West never gets credit for bringing economic and social order to a nation, and then allowing its natives to govern only to see the resulting "civilization" to revert and collapse time and again. The UN is composed of countries run by dictatorships blaming someone else for their misery.
bump for HHH
"Progressives" are sentimental idealists
Except for those that are actually "Oppressives",
and seek to dominate and control their fellow humans.
The President continues to push for stimulus even though hundreds of billions of dollars in such funds seem to have done little. The unemployment rate when Obama took office in January 2009 was 7.7%; now it is 9.5%. Yet he wants to spend even more and is determined to foist the entire bill on Americans making $250,000 a year or more. The rich, Obama insists, aren't paying their "fair share." This by itself seems odd given that the top 1% of Americans pay 40% of all federal income taxes; the next 9% of income earners pay another 30%. So the top 10% pays 70% of the taxes; the bottom 40% pays close to nothing.
Odd is an understatement.
Just another boy whose father abandoned him,
fantasizing about what it would be like to please his absentee father.
I haven't send out a big ping in awhile, but I thought this merited your interest.
It's the kind of article you could copy and e-mail to everybody in your address-book, including lifelong-Democratic-voter Aunt Sophie, and gain a big harvest of comprehension.
Excellent point. The entire democrat party has 'father issues'. That's why they are always trying to replace the father with government. Government becomes the father archetype. Isn't it interesting too that while the leftist dems decry colonialism/imperialism elsewhere, their policies are actually the very definition of colonialism/imperialism at home. They want the government to be all powerful and ruling over the 'peasants' of America.
Concentration of wealth and power
is dangerous.
Much less so with those who lack this power.
There's also the memorable, "Corpse-man" gaffe (and others).
But Obama is a graduate of Columbia and Harvard, donchaknow?
Read that this morning and found it pretty logical.
what a concept.

Did it.
***The West never gets credit for bringing economic and social order to a nation, and then allowing its natives to govern only to see the resulting "civilization" to revert and collapse time and again.***
We should remember, however, that the European monarchies explored, invaded and ruled many areas of the world to acquire & monopolize natural resources. Side benefits to those areas were the institutions the victors *imposed* on the vanquished; i.e. courts of law, roads, libraries, hospitals, schools, churches etc., Post colonialization the native populations have often resorted to plunder and/or neglect. The ruling elite almost always kept the *plumage of royalty* and the perks for themselves.
America began as a British colony. After 1776 colonization continued under the Republic.
ALL of ALL of TV, Hollywood and the media are 100% behind our Islamic Mugabe.
Keep watching TV sheeple cause your cable and sat TV bills are your ticket to slavery and dhimini-hood.
The Saudi shareholders and joint venture partners in News Corp/Fox, TW/CNN, Disney/ABC, GE/MSNBC/NBC/CNBC, Bloomberg thank you.
B. Hussein Obama is the Kenyan anti-Christ.
"Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?"
Aren't Africans in charge of their country now? How is that working out?/s
Awesome article. Thanks. Everyone should read.
0bama despises us. Us. I think he's revolted by the very nation that has made him and his wife rich as all get out.
We don't know his origins really. We've not seen him with pix of his alleged grandmother Dunham, except for one here and there with him supposedly sitting on a bench between them. Where are the lunches, the people who would have known her in her later years, the pix with his own 'mother' Stanley Ann, etc., etc. Where are ANY pix of him in middle or high school, college and so forth?
For such an ego, you'd think such pictures and stories of friends and neighbors, his legal cases, letters and such would be plastered all over creation. Do we think his 'library' after he (perhaps) leaves office is going to be accessible by eyes-only individuals or something?
Thank you Mrs. Don-o.
Actually no one really knows who slick Willie's father was. I am not so sure about Obama either.
Oh, one more thing. Where is his mother buried? His father? His granddad? Frank Marshall Davis? Does anyone even know? His apartment at Occidental? New York? Harvard? Do they even have placques? Lease agreements in the historical record? County Halls of records? Old cars? High school rings? Scholastic society rings? School books?
It certainly caught my interest! Thanks, Mrs. Don-o, for the ping. Wow, milwguy, great article, thanks for posting. D'Souza does not disappoint. It is eerily on point, explains a lot. My head hurts, too, now...
Forbes Magazine has a writer that is Obama's closest supporter, Forbes helped make him rich and he is a lousy money manager. This guy helped get Obama elected. This was the main reason I cancelled Forbes and will NEVER subscribe again.
This is spot on!
Underneath all of the layers that comprise Obama is envy, covetousness and hatred. You can hear the like-minded Michelle saying, "The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more. or "I was never proud of America. It's very very important to get this man politically impotent by blocking his progress.
Interesting article; thanks for posting!
I like Dineshs' work, but this is by far one of his best ever.
Chilling. Yet really exlains so much. Strange as it sounds I almost feel better because now I understand. Our instincts were right, but thanks to this article we're no longer perplexed by the moves of this madman....and it shows this president is much worse than anyone could have ever imagined.....he needs to be gone so our country can be saved.
bump for later read -
The reign of the living dead.
Not sure if you saw this article or not. Sorry if it's a second ping.... Excellent article.........and yeah...We're dealing with the ghost of his father?
Thanks for the ping.

I was out shooting my D300 at a Cirrus Aircraft open house at a local airport. Was disappointed to find spots on my images when I got home. I have cleaned the sensor as well as tried different lenses and the spots are still there. So I assume that this is something on the sensor. I've had the camera for 4 years, so I suspect I am long overdue for a routine maintenance. My plan is to send it directly to Nikon. Any other suggestions? I can't tell you how tedious it is to use the Clone Stamp tool on each image to clean them up. <sigh>I've attached an example with arrows to point out the spots. Some are faint and can be seen when magnifying the image.Thanks, Steve

Dust, etc, on the sensor. More noticeably seen at the smaller apertures like this shot was taken at.Easily cleaned by doing it yourself, especially if you have a tripod.

You can use a Rocket Blower to blow off dust and other dry objects from the sensor, see your manual for instructions. If a "wet deposit" then a wet cleaning is needed. If not sure you can do this, seek a local service or Nikon Service.

Thanks. I also found the procedure in the manual and other info on the Net. Guess I've been lucky until now, but have obviously not given the sensor the care and respect I should have been.

Steven,I am currently in the same boat. I have a rocket blower and Eclipse Sensor Cleaning kit on the way from Copper Hill. It happens to everybody eventually, even with the sensor cleaner feature on our cameras. A dirty sensor is something we just need to take in stride, I guess.

I hae a D300S and often get dust on the sensor...maybe it is more prone than other cameras, to this?I have it cleaned at the cameras store but takes care of the problem.....have tried to use 2 camers and lenses so I don't change lenses in the field as much which helps. But it happens a LOT...several times a year....

Cleaning the sensor yourself via the wet method is not difficult if you have a reasonably steady hand. I use and am happy with Sensor Swabs and Eclipse fluid. The swabs are single use and run about 4 bucks each. Even if it takes two or three tries, you're still ahead of the game compared to paying for cleaning. Just be sure to get the correct size swabs.

Just used my new Giotto's Rocket Blower today--great tool. Knocked about 90% of the stuff on the sensor off. I will get rid of the rest with wet cleaning kit from Copper Hill.

I think a bit of Photoshop clone stamping is a lot easier, and less stressful, than fretting over dust. This used to be a huge fear people had, and seems to be back as a cause for concern. You really either have to just live with it, or buy into the OCD cleaning rituals you see online. I have had my sensor cleaned twice since owning my D300. I am not bothering anymore- it just isn't worth the effort and angst.

So if you were bidding on a basketball and I was bidding on a similarly priced football, our bids would be competing against one another if they are in the same group of "YOU CHOOSE" Not to mention the other 4 similarly priced items! They may have it on their site now where this is explained, but when I contacted my bank and my lawyer, there was no explanation of this at all on their web site. This is complete FRAUD! I thought I was bidding against people bidding on the SAME item I was bidding on, but if it has the black side arrows on the icon, you are bidding against any one bidding on the other, similarly priced, 5 items listed by each click of the arrow!
No where on their website did they explain this. Anyone with common since, would not think they were bidding against other people that were bidding on a different item, as their manager Eric said to me. Call Eric and ask him how it works! He is very arrogant and totally wrong with his explanation. (405) 253-2038 ext. 119 I'll be posting a video on youtube soon....search for QuiBids101

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 20, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Quibids does the same thing with the new You Choose It auctions. That being said, we still limit who can see what auctions, and when they can see them. This eliminates the issue that you bring up, that we are driving up the prices on auctions. The You Choose It auctions have been put into place so that you the customer, can have more items to choose from if you win the auction, or if you decide to exercise the Buy Now option.
I hope this has helped clarify the issue, and answered any questions that may have been raised from the above statement. Lastly, we have the utmost respect for our customer support employees, and I can assure you that the above mentioned Erik is not arrogant, and is one of our best customer support managers.

Edward finds himself going through the same experience he had when he saw the Gate of Truth as the gold-toothed doctor's array is activated. Greed and Wrath fight fiercely, until they end up hanging from a high spot. Ranfan grabs Greed's hand. Briggs soldiers shoot Bradley and he drops into the water below. Helped up by Ranfan, Ling is devestated that Fu is already dead. Central soldier open fire on him. Ling lets Greed come out in full-force by a dying Buccaneer's request and takes on Central soldiers. Buccaneer dies with a smile on his face. Olivier is informed of the status at the front gate of Central HQ, and decides to continue down the stairs into the basement. In the depths of Central, Edward and Izumi materialize in Father's lair, where he has disabled Hohenheim. Father is disappointed that a fifth sacrifice has yet to be prepared. The gold-toothed doctor has Riza Hawkeye seriously injured in hopes Roy will peform a human transmutation, and he seems to give in.

Ling is what, 15, 16? I always figured Lan Fan to be around 19 - 20. I don't see a romantic relationship here, even though mutually strong feelings are a given between the two. Not to ruin the mood or anything... we don't
Lan Fan's age, she might be Ling's age, I've just gotten the impression that she's older.
Anyway, yeah, I liked this episode. It carried a lot of emotional weight for me; Ling and Lan Fan - whose actors performed really well btw, especially Ling's, at times I didn't even recognise it as his voice - scenes were great. The sheer sorrow and desperation in Ling's voice sent shivers through my body. Then we have Buccaneer's death. The music here was perfect. And Olivier's reaction to when she hears about it... well, there were a lot of things that got to me.
Not to mention the Greed going full out epicness. He definitely deserved to have that track accompany him ^^ The only complaint would be that it didn't last long enough! And it could have been gorier! Though I love it when he stands on the pile of rubble surrounded by flames, and the camera closes up on the blood dripping from his hand. Even if we didn't get to see it, we can imagine the things he did
And everything just screams quality, from the flames, the blood, and not to mention his face. This whole shot was very cool. And the changes involving the elevator worked a lot better than I had imagined.
And I actually thought that Roy's emotion did show well; he didn't scream hysterically - not something I would expect from Roy - and there wasn't as dramatic facial expressions as in a few of the manga panels. But just look at how his face is twitching. I thought it was good. I agree that maybe the situation didn't feel filled with crazy, senseless desperation, but it felt very dire nonetheless. And the cliffhanger was a good way of ending it.
Side note; I compared the voices of Dante from series 1 with her cameo appearance as that old lady in this episode, and no, sorry to say, I'm pretty sure it isn't the same voice actors

Everyone Remembers Their First Bike
August 26, 2016,
The gallbladder is not an essential organ, and its removal is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on women. It can even be performed on pregnant women with low risk to both the baby and mother. The primary advantages of surgically removing the gallbladder over nonsurgical treatment are that it can eliminate gallstones and prevent gallbladder cancer.
Open Procedures Versus Laparoscopy. Until the early 1990s, open cholecystectomy (the removal of the gallbladder through a wide abdominal incision) was the standard treatment. Now, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (commonly called lap choly), which uses small incisions, is the most commonly used surgical approach. First performed in 1987, lap choly is now used in most cholecystectomies in the United States. Of concern is a significant increase in its use in patients who have inflammation in the gallbladder but no infection or gallstones, and in those who have gallstones but no symptoms.
Laparoscopy has largely replaced open cholecystectomy because it offers some significant advantages:
Some experts believe, however, that the open procedure still has a number of advantages compared to laparoscopy:
The type of surgery performed on specific patients may vary depending on different factors.
Appropriate Surgical Candidates. Candidates for gallbladder removal often have, or have had, one of the following conditions:
The best candidates are those with evidence of impaired gallbladder emptying.
Pregnant women who have gallstones and experience symptoms are also candidates for surgery.
Timing of Surgery. Cholecystectomy may be performed within days to weeks after hospitalization for an acute gallbladder attack, depending on the severity of the condition.
General Outlook. Although cholecystectomy is very safe, as with any operation there are risks of complications, depending on whether the procedure is done on an elective or emergency basis.
Long-Term Effects of Gallbladder Removal. Removal of the gallbladder has not been known to cause any long-term adverse effects, aside from occasional diarrhea.
The Procedure. With laparoscopy, gallbladder removal is typically performed as follows:
Risk Factors for Conversion from Laparoscopy to an Open Procedure. In about 5 - 10% of laparoscopies, conversion to open cholecystectomy is required during the procedure. The rate of conversion to open surgery is higher in men than in women. This may be due to the higher rate of inflammation and fibrosis in men with symptomatic gallstones. Other reasons for conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery include:
Complications and Side Effects of Surgery
Patients should not be shy about inquiring into the number of laparoscopies the surgeon has performed (the minimum should be 40). Obese patients were originally thought to be poor candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but recent research indicates that this surgery is safe for them.
Before the development of laparoscopy, the standard surgical treatment for gallstones was open cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder through an abdominal incision), which requires a wide incision and leaves a large surgical scar. In this procedure, the patient usually stays in the hospital for 5 - 7 days and may not return to work for a month. Complications include bleeding, infections, and injury to the common bile duct. The risks of this procedure increase with other factors, such as the age of the patient, or the need to explore the common bile duct for stones at the same time.
Candidates for whom cholecystectomy may be a more appropriate choice:
Older patients. Patients who are over 80 years old are likely to have lower complication rates from open cholecystectomy than laparoscopy, although laparoscopy may also be appropriate in these patients.
Whether or not to insert a drain in the wound after surgery is under debate. Many surgeons implant drains to prevent abscesses or peritonitis. That practice may change. One analysis found that patients who received drains had a dramatically increased risk of wound and chest infection, regardless of the type of drain used.
Reasons for performing the procedure:
The ERCP and ES Procedure. A typical ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) procedure includes the following steps:
Complications. Complications of ERCP and ES occur in 5 - 8% of cases, and some can be serious. Mortality rates are 0.2 - 0.5%. Complications include the following:
ERCP and ES are difficult procedures, and patients must be certain that their doctor and medical center are experienced. ERCP can usually be performed successfully by an experienced surgeon, even in critically ill patients who are on mechanical ventilators.
ERCP and Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy). ERCP is often performed after gallstones in the common duct are discovered during cholecystectomy.
In some cases, stones in the gallbladder are detected during ERCP. In such cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually warranted. There is some debate about whether the gallbladder should be removed at the same time as ERCP, or if patients should wait.
