Putin will not be intimidated by NATO into going back on his annexation of Crimea. He sees Russian military control of Crimea as a counterweight to US bases in Romania and Bulgaria.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 27, 2014
Egypt's Abdul-Fattah El-Sisi, 59, announced Wednesday, March 26, he had resigned from the army to run for president. The election will be no later than July. His popularity as a strong leader in a country that craves stability is such that he can count on winning. debkafile: El-Sisi took time off in recent weeks to create a new airborne rapid intervention force to buttress his future presidency. He declared his candidacy two days before US President Barack Obama's visit to Riyadh. It was a message from the Egyptian strongman that he was there to stay.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 26, 2014
World leaders meeting at The Hague Tuesday, March 26 played a computer game simulating an imminent threat of terrorists assembling a dirty bomb from stolen nuclear materials for unleashing against a Western City. President Barack Obama, China's Xi Jinping, British premier David Cameron and Chancellor Angela Merkel, among others, had to push one of four buttons on their tablets to test their response to a short film which showed a mock terrorist announcing the bomb was ready and able to bring sudden death to hundreds of thousands.
To get at Obama and Kerry, Arab League summit drafts hard-line ultimatums for Israeli-Palestinian peace track
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 25, 2014
The Arab League summit opening in Kuwait Tuesday, March 25, is set to carry hard-line ultimatums as a means of derailing US-sponsored Palestinian-Israeli talks and as a red flag for President Barack Obama three days before he lands in Riyadh. debkafile: They will insist on a veto on recognizing Israel as the Jewish national state, mandating all parts of East Jerusalem, including Al Quds al Sharif (Temple Mount) and the entire Old City of Jerusalem, as the capital of a Palestinian state; and the immediate release of all Palestinians in Israeli jails.

DEBKAfile Special Report March 20, 2014
The US and Russian presidents locked horns in earnest over their Ukraine dispute Thursday, March 20 with two sets of serious reciprocal sanctions. International financial circles warn that in their determination to outplay one another, the US and Russian leaders risk causing havoc in world trade centers. debkafile: Whereas Barack Obama's new executive order covering 20 targets strikes deep inside Vladimir Putin's inner circle and personal financial interests, the Russian president appears to be going for American politicians hostile to Moscow – although this is only his first shot.
DEBKAfile DEBKA Weekly March 18, 2014
Crimea's secession to Russia is just one example. More boundaries once carved in stone are melting away in the heat of unresolved conflicts, as DEBKA Weekly shows in its coming issue out Friday. Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Al Qaeda's ISIS terrorists are all messing with the borders of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel – and each other. When President Barack Obama comes to Riyadh with a promise of US support for the oil kingdom's stability, he will step into a landscape of moving boundaries.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 13, 2014
The last Western hope for averting the Crimean referendum Sunday and a major showdown between the two world powers rested with Chancellor Angela Merkel. But even she failed to sway Putin.
The Ukraine crisis: Russia may halt (START) strategic weapons inspections, revert to Cold War tactics
DEBKAfile Special Report March 8, 2014
Russia ratcheted up international tensions over Ukraine Saturday, March 8, after mobilizing air and coastal defenses for a month-long drill to secure the May 16 Crimean referendum from disruption. The defense ministry in Moscow announced "Russia is considering halting foreign inspections of its strategic weapons arsenal, including nuclear-capable missiles, in response to 'threats' from the United States and NATO over the Ukraine crisis. debkafile: Moscow is ready to revert to Soviet belligerent posture unless the US and the West back down on the Ukraine dispute.

Ukraine calls up reserves against Russia. Putin spurns Obama's call to de-escalate with fallout on Mid East
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis March 2, 2014
The US-EU tactic of turning the heat on Moscow instead of Kiev is proving futile and a strategic blunder stemming from weakness, more likely to spark real violence and bloodshed. US President Barack Obama's call to Vladimir Putin to de-escalate the tension and pull his troops out of Crimea went unheeded. So Kiev mobilized a million military reservists and put the Ukraine army on a war footing, without the resources for feeding or arming them. Putin was encouraged to forge ahead with his plans until the interim government falls – or talks.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 1, 2014
Russian forces Saturday, March 1, staged their first attack on a Ukraine military installation in Crimea, while completing their takeover of the region and its severance from Ukraine. The new Crimean premier announced a March 30 referendum to determine its status. In Kiev, the interim government feared a possible Ukraine army putsch to install a military regime capable of containing Russian expansion. As President Barack Obama warned Moscow of "costs" for military intervention in Crimea, two US warships moved up to the Black Sea's Crimea shore.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 28, 2014
Crimea is Russia's main springboard for Putin's Mid East strategy. Kerry's last-ditch phone call to Lavrov may avert a Russian military operation – but at a steep price for Kiev and the West.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 28, 2014
The European wire-pullers misjudged the unrest in Kiev and let it go too far. They had planned a pro-EU unity government working with Yanukovych – not to oust him.
Yanukovych refuses to resign - and goes missing in E. Ukraine. Tymoshenko seizes opposition center stage in Kiev
DEBKAfile Special Report February 22, 2014
Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych went on the air Saturday, Feb. 22, to say he has no plans to resign. From Kharkiv, he accused "armed extremists and gangsters" of staging a coup comparable to the Nazi putsch in Berlin of 1933. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called on the German, French and Polish foreign ministers to step in and take responsibility for the deal they helped the rivals forge Friday, warning that Ukrainian sovereignty was threatened. The crisis is falling into the lines of a split between opposition Kiev and pro-Yanukovych Kharkiv.

TRUMBULL – Police called to Marisa's Restaurant for a brawl involving members of the Latin Kings gang, arrested four Bridgeport residents early Sunday.
At about 1:30 a.m., police said they received information that a fight among patrons at the Main Street restaurant was imminent and there were members of the Latin Kings involved.
Several minutes later an officer working a special duty job at the restaurant reported a fight had broken out and escalated into a large brawl, police said. The officer's call for assistance prompted the dispatch of all available officers and officers from area towns.

The Central Dogma in eukaryotic cells
In eukaryotes (organisms with a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription in the nucleus, and proteins are made in the cytoplasm. RNA must therefore travel across the nuclear membrane before it undergoes translation. This means that transcription and translation are physically separated. The primary transcript, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), undergoes extensive post-transcriptional processing to make a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule that can pass through the nuclear membrane.

A Sustained Virologic Response Reduces Risk of All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Hepatitis C
Backus LI, Boothroyd DB, Phillips BR, Belperio P, Halloran J, Mole LA. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2011 Mar 10. [Epub ahead of print]
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The effectiveness of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin is usually evaluated by the surrogate endpoint of sustained virologic response (SVR), although the ultimate goal of antiviral treatment is to reduce mortality. The impact of SVR on all-cause mortality is not well documented by HCV genotype or in populations in routine medical practice with substantial co-morbidities.
METHODS: From the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), we identified all patients infected with HCV of genotypes 1, 2, or 3, without HIV co-infection or hepatocellular carcinoma prior to HCV treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, who started HCV treatment from January 2001 to June 2007, stopped treatment by June 2008, and had a post-treatment HCV RNA test result of SVR or no SVR. Mortality data from VA and non-VA sources were available through 2009.
RESULTS: HCV genotype-1, -2, or -3 cohorts consisted of 12166, 2904, and1794 patients, respectively, with SVR rates of 35%, 72%, and 62%. Each cohort had high rates of co-morbidities. During a median follow-up of approximately 3.8 years, 1119 genotype-1, 220 gentoype-2, and 196 genotype-3 patients died. In genotype-specific multivariate survival models that controlled for demographic factors, co-morbidities, laboratory characteristics, and treatment characteristics, a SVR was associated with substantially reduced mortality risk for each genotype (genotype-1 hazard ratio [HR]=.70, P <.0001; genotype-2 HR=.64, P =.006; genotype-3 HR=.51, P =.0002)
CONCLUSION: A SVR reduced mortality among patients infected with HCV of genotypes 1, 2, or 3 who were being treated by routine medical practice and had substantial co-morbidities.

In addition, these biosensors, developed by three recent Northeastern graduates, are meant to decrease the cost of detection, monitoring, and treatment, potentially resulting in higher survival rates and improved quality of health.
Biolom was founded by Asanterabi Malima, who received his doctorate in engineering in 2013; Cihan Yilmaz, who received a doctorate in mechanical engineering in 2013; and Jaydev Upponi, who earned a doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences in 2007.
The team received initial validation for their project in 2011, when it was named one of 10 finalists nationwide in the Prize for Primary Healthcare competition put on by the Boston-based Center for Integration of Medicine & Innovative Technology.
The umbrella of services offered by Northeastern's Center for Research and Innovation offered additional support, as did IDEA, Northeastern's venture accelerator, which provided $10,000 in gap funding to support clinical validation studies. Faculty members Marc Meyer, Dan Gregory, and Bob Lentz also connected Biolom with experts in in-vitro diagnostics.
According to Malima, the company is now raising venture capital for clinical trials.

Sweet hurrah! for British justice: not guility verdict...
Prosecution for reckless HIV transmission in England ends with not guilty verdict"A prosecution for reckless transmission of HIV has ended in a not guilty verdict in England for the first time.The judge at Kingston Upon Thames Crown Court directed the jury to deliver a not guilty verdict. The case involved an HIV-positive gay man who was accused of recklessly infecting his male partner. However, the defence, using evidence supplied by an expert HIV virologist from Londons Royal Free Hospital, successfully argued that phylogenetic analysis could not prove that person A infected person B. Phylogenetic analysis has been used by the prosecution in this and all the previous prosecutions for reckless transmission to show a transmission link between individualsEvidence also came to light during the trial that the complainant had had unprotected sex with numerous men other than the accused, some of whom were HIV-positive. "This really shouldn't have come to court (see para 2 above)- matt
How does this even get to the trial stage in the first place, considering the UK's policies on HIV prosecution? It doesn't seem like it even met the test for an arrest.
The prosecuters are dumb about HIV transmission and some of the cops love a witch-hunt - matt
Well I hope he counter-sues someone (ok that's the American in me speaking). But while he may have gotten a not-guilty verdict (thankfully), unfortunately the damage to his reputation is probably already done and dusted. Shame.

Purpose: To investigate the choroidal thickness in eyes with tilted disk syndrome within/without posterior staphyloma.
Methods: Twenty-one eyes examined in 16 patients with tilted disk syndrome were included. The thicknesses of the choriocapillaris, the medium-to-large choroidal vessels, and total choroids found 1 mm and 3 mm superior and inferior to the fovea and in the area with the thinnest choroid were measured using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography or high-penetration optical coherence tomography. The results were compared with the findings on indocyanine green angiography.
Results: The mean thicknesses of total choroid found 3 mm and 1 mm inferior (114.3 μm ± 77.8 μm, 145.0 μm ± 85.9 μm) to the fovea were significantly thinner than those found superior (174.5 μm ± 89.7 μm, 145.0 μm ± 85.9 μm) to it. The minimal choroidal thickness of 80.5 μm ± 67.1 μm was obtained at a mean 1.04 mm below the fovea at the upper edge of the posterior staphyloma. The thickness of the layer of choriocapillaris was not significantly different according to the regions but the layer of medium-to-large choroidal vessels found 3 mm and 1 mm inferior to the fovea was significantly thinner than that found superior to the fovea. The ratio of choriocapillaris to medium-to-large vessels found 1 mm superior also was significantly smaller than those found inferior. The diameter of medium-to-large choroidal vessels on ICGA was not significantly different in the areas although less number of vessels were seen around the area inferior to the fovea.
Conclusion: In the eyes of patients with tilted disk syndrome, the choroid is thinnest at approximately 1 mm inferior to the fovea at the upper edge of the posterior staphyloma rather than at the bottom of the posterior staphyloma. Thinning of the layer of medium-to-large choroidal vessels seems to be associated with the thinning of choroid thickness.

or Why There Is A Lot of Talk But Little Action From Either Party
We all have seen the affect of entitlements on the annual budget and deficit. The big items are the entitlement programs – Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They are items that are set to take up an ever larger part of the American budget. As can be seen in the above article's chart, entitlements and interest will absorb all government spending by 2025. Here we examine Social Security ONLY because it is, by far, the largest FY 2012 "mandatory entitlement."
Social Security has built up a $2.5 trillion surplus since the retirement program was last overhauled in the 1980s. The surplus has been placed in the Social Security Trust Fund, a fund about which we have heard quite a bit lately. But here is the rub (and there is always a rub – there is no "free lunch"). The $2.5 trillion surplus has been "borrowed" over the years by the federal government and spent on other programs. In return, the Treasury Department has issued bonds to Social Security, guaranteeing repayment with interest. As Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director Jack Lew wrote in USA Today, "the Social Security trust fund is solvent until 2037. Therefore, Social Security is now off the table in debt-reduction talks." As Charles Krauthammer explains, "This claim is a breathtaking fraud. The pretense is that a flush trust fund will pay retirees for the next 26 years. Lovely, except for one thing: The Social Security trust fund is a fiction." OMB director Jack Lew (the same guy cited above) says that these trust-fund "balances" are nothing more than a "bookkeeping" device. Says Lew, "They do not consist of real economic assets that can be drawn down in the future to fund benefits." Krauthammer concludes, "In other words, the Social Security trust fund contains – nothing."
Paul Hsieh likens what has happened to the Social Security Trust Fund to what Homer Simpson does when he runs out of do-nuts. When he opens his emergency do-nut box, it's empty except for a note that reads: "Dear Homer, IOU one emergency donut. Signed, Homer." The Obama administration officials acknowledge that the federal government has already spent the Social Security surpluses of the last decades, replacing the borrowed money with so-called "special issue" bonds. But according to the OMB, these "special issue" bonds "do not consist of real economic assets that can be drawn down in the future to fund benefits." Instead, they are mere promises to repay the borrowed money.
Thomas Sowell says he saw senior citizens carrying signs that read, "Hands off my Social Security." They want their Social Security to stay the way it is, and their anger is directed against those who want to change the financial arrangements that pay for these benefits. Their anger should be directed instead against those politicians who were irresponsible enough to set up these costly programs without putting aside enough money to pay for the promises that were made, promises that now cannot be kept, regardless of which political party controls the government. Someone needs to say to those who want Social Security to continue on unchanged: "Don't you understand? The money is not there any more."
Let's define a Ponzi scheme. It is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to investors by money paid by subsequent investors. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering returns other investments cannot guarantee. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme advertises and pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going. So you can now begin to see why Social Security has been likened to a Ponzi scheme.
George L. O'Brien, in his excellent article calling for the end of Social Security, calls it a "Legal Ponzi Scheme." He continues that there are many reasons to like Social Security. It is the only part of the welfare state which promises benefits to nearly every person. It is also seen to relieve adult children of the responsibility of supporting their elderly parents, and it helps the elderly poor for whom there is a great deal of sympathy. There is only one problem: the system is a fraud.
He also examined the Chilean Model. Minister of Labor José Piñera put in a plan that requires each of the country's 4.8 million workers to put 10% of his pre-tax income into a private pension fund of his own choosing; there are no employer contributions. There are 13 plans to choose from, and workers can switch their funds between plans to get the best returns at the lowest cost. The benefits to the individual worker of this policy have far exceeded expectations. Because the money that goes into these private pension funds is invested in production, a great supply of investment capital was made available to businesses and entrepreneurs at relatively low interest rates.
O'Brien concludes, "At some point people must realize the futility of trying to save the current bankrupt Social Security system. More tinkering with the status quo won't help – Social Security is both financially and morally bankrupt – and soon this Ponzi scheme will collapse.
Michael Mandel offers an alternative analysis, but even he still calls Social Security a Ponzi scheme. He suggests that there is one enormous difference between Social Security and a Ponzi scheme: Technological change. This long track record of technology-powered growth has enabled the enormous rise in living standards in the U.S. Assuming that technological progress continues over the next 70 years, and output productivity growth continues over the next 70 years, the finances of Social Security are relatively easy to fix. A fairly minor cut in benefits, combined with a relatively small increase in taxes, will bring the system back into balance again. But here's the rub. Ultimately our ability to make good on the "Ponzi-like" nature of Social Security depends on the continued march of technological progress – and in particular, innovation which boosts output and living standards. If we leave the younger generation a good legacy – a sound scientific and technological base, combined with an innovative and flexible economy and an educated workforce – then Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. The economy grows, and there's more than enough resources for everyone. But if instead we invest in homes, flat-screen televisions and SUVs, then we don't leave the next generation with the technological "seed corn" they need. If the technological progress slows, then Social Security does turn out to be Ponzi-like – with unfortunate consequences for everyone.
Mandel is correct: just look at what the current economic situation, with its slow growth, has done to Social Security.
There was no clamor for Social Security when FDR signed it into law in 1935. Few Americans were interested in the kind of government-run program that the German politician Otto von Bismarck had introduced in Europe. President Franklin Roosevelt embraced the German idea that there should be government-run "social insurance." Perhaps because Social Security promoters didn't have much confidence in it, they insisted that it must be compulsory. There was considerable opposition to the proposed Social Security Act from both Democrats and Republicans. Senator Bennett Clark of Montana proposed an amendment that would have enabled employers to opt out of Social Security if they had pension plans offering more generous benefits than Social Security. That would have meant freedom of choice for employers and employees alike, but advocates of Social Security were adamantly against freedom of choice.
The Financial Planning Association offers a very good, brief history of Social Security. The Social Security Act was signed into law by President Roosevelt on August 14, 1935. In the beginning, most women and minorities were excluded from the benefits of Social Security. Job categories that were not covered by the act included workers in agricultural labor, domestic service, government employees, and many teachers, nurses, hospital employees, librarians, and social workers. In 1940, benefits paid totaled $35 million. These rose to $961 million in 1950, $11.2 billion in 1960, $31.9 billion in 1970, $120.5 billion in 1980, and $247.8 billion in 1990. All figures are in nominal dollars, not adjusted for inflation. In 2009, nearly 51 million Americans received $650 billion in Social Security benefits. So from the benefits progression we can easily see where payouts are headed.
What is social security? The term describes a program that uses public funds to provide a degree of economic security for the public. The specific social security discussed here is the United States government program established in 1935 that provides old age, disability, and survivors insurance, as well as supplemental security income, an income for elderly or disabled people. But nobody has a right to pass on Social Security benefits to heirs, as is done routinely with private annuities, pensions, and life insurance.
Politicians call Social Security the "third rail of American politics." What does that mean? There are two concepts going on here:
- Many trains that are powered by electricity, such as subways and other rapid transit railway systems, are attached to a third rail that runs alongside the tracks. The third rail provides electricity, which powers the train. But for a person, touching the third rail means instant electrocution, or death by electrical shock.
- In politics, a "third rail" issue is one that is so politically charged and controversial that any politician who dares to touch it risks destroying his/her career.
Former U.S. House Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill first called Social Security the "third rail of American politics," and O'Neill did as much as anyone to make Social Security a deadly political issue. Social Security had become a difficult political issue long before the early 1980s. When Barry Goldwater lost the presidential race in 1964, observers believed the loss was due in part to voter perception that Goldwater wanted to dismantle Social Security.
Here are quotes from both President George W. Bush (R) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D): "Social security – they used to call it the third rail of American politics," President Bush told a news conference last year, "because when you talked about it, you got singed, at the minimum." Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, agreed about the reason so many politicians dreaded dealing with the dangerous subject of Social Security: "This is, kind of, the third rail. No one wants to touch it."
As mentioned above, in 1964 Barry Goldwater lost the presidency to Lyndon Johnson in part because of the perception that Goldwater was hostile to Social Security. In 1980 Ronald Reagan had campaigned for the presidency on a pledge to preserve Social Security. Administration officials, faced with the prospect of ballooning budget deficits and runaway Social Security costs, mandated almost immediate cuts in benefits to people taking early retirement. A low-income worker retiring at age 62 in 1982 would see his monthly benefits cut instantly from $248 to $164. Tip O'Neill seized the opportunity to blast the administration. After months of defeats, O'Neill finally had an issue he could rally Democrats around. At a news conference he declared: "For the first time since 1935 people would suffer because they trusted in the Social Security system." The system was eventually overhauled successfully by the Reagan administration in December 1981.
It wasn't until the early 1980s that Social Security became known as the third rail of American politics. It was House Speaker Tip O'Neill who coined the phrase and O'Neill who, more than anyone, made Social Security murderous to touch.
Here is what Ron Paul (R-TX), who offered his now famous budget proposal, said about Social Security. He proposed to end it as we know it, and let people opt out of the system. He also said that Social Security is unconstitutional. And here are Ron Paul's personal reasons for opposing Social Security. Further, he states, "Even the most modest proposals to trim Social Security or Medicare spending will be met with howls of indignation and threats of voter revolt. Legislators who propose any kind of means testing or increased retirement ages can expect angry visits from senior citizens and lobbyists ready to fund a candidate back home who supports the status quo. When it comes to Social Security we must understand that the system does not represent an old age pension, an insurance program or even a forced savings program. It simply represents an enormous transfer of payment with younger workers paying taxes to benefit the other beneficiaries."
John Boehner (R-OH) invited Obama to join him on the third rail of politics. Boehner's offering Obama to stand on the third rail of American politics with him, is one we can see Obama refusing.
And here is Boehner proposing to raise the retirement age (the age at which Social Security benefits can be drawn) to 70, to link Cost Of Living Allowance (COLA) to the Consumer Price Index CPI) rather than wage inflation, and to "means test" benefits. (The CPI, BTW, is the "official" government of inflation)
This article about John Boehner saying that he's determined to offer a budget this spring that curbs Social Security and Medicare, despite the political risks. [emphasis mine]
Finally, someone in Congress with guts, someone who puts the country before his political career.
Congressional Freshmen: First-term GOP Rep. Allen West, a tea party favorite, told a town hall gathering in Coral Springs, if Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid "are left on autopilot, if we don't institute some type of reform, they'll subsume our entire GDP" by 2040 or 2050. In Greenville, S.C., a different Republican freshman with tea party ties, Rep. Trey Gowdy, also suggested during last week's congressional break a paring back of social programs. Gowdy described a recent school classroom where most children indicated they think it's the government's job to provide health care, Social Security and education. "We've got to do something about the sense of entitlement," Gowdy said. Gowdy's office later said he thinks Social Security "is a key aspect of a broad effort to fundamentally reform our entitlement system, but any solution must honor our commitment to current retirees."
Despite President Obama's promises to lower the deficit and rein in spending, there was an omission from his 2012 budget that many say would go a long way toward easing the nation's financial woes: Social Security reform. The White House and top congressional Democrats argue that Social Security isn't contributing to the nation's deficit. Others say that's nonsense and accuse Democrats of using fuzzy math to justify their claim. Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, and Senator Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, appeared separately on Sunday morning news programs to say Social Security doesn't add "one penny" to the deficit.
Did the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) abandon its opposition to cutting Social Security benefits? The question surfaced June 17, 2011, when the Wall Street Journal published an article suggesting the AARP's board had approved an effort to ride the increasingly dominant view in Washington: Social Security must be overhauled to remain solvent beyond 2036 – especially considering that the retired population is expected to grow dramatically and the number of workers contributing to the program will shrink. Does that mean the AARP is open to cutting Social Security benefits, if it's in the nation's interest? Not necessarily. The organization wants to be a player in the conversation about Social Security's future – especially if the program can be extricated from the escalating deficit debate. The apparent shift reflects an internal civil war, an acknowledgment that the long-held opposition to Social Security reform is unsustainable.
So where does all of the above leave us? It's not as if Franklin D. Roosevelt set out to create a Ponzi scheme. But people who know the scheme is mathematically unsustainable are drafting plans that, horrors!, try to give some control over the situation back to individuals. Like so many government programs, Social Security started off with great intentions, but morphed into something else. Some people refute the Ponzi scheme comparison largely on the grounds that unlike a traditional Ponzi scheme, Social Security is completely disclosed, was never sold to as a way to make anyone rich, and that it has good intentions rooted in compassion for the poor.
Old age is NOT a surprise. If people do not plan for it, they should not look to others (in the form of taxes or discounts or Social Security) for help. People who depend upon Social Security for retirement will receive exactly what they deserve – not much or nothing. The current system WILL go broke. Then all the dependers on the current system will look to us, the savers, for a bail out (in the form of more taxes). This brings us to personal responsibility. Everyone should save for retirement, not depend on Social Security.

We continue the 2015 Team Previews today with the lovable basement-dwelling Minnesota Twins. Since he lives right down the street from them and was nice enough to write about the Twins for us (we wanted no part of the Twins), Corey is back at it again with another season preview. If you enjoy his preview and you're a baseball fan, give him a follow on twitter.
Living in Minneapolis, I was lucky enough to enjoy some of the All Star festivities and I snapped this shot at the HR Derby. Unfortunately for Twins fans, there wasn't much excitement at Target field outside of the All Star break. The Twins finished in the cellar of the AL Central with a 70-92 record and they appear to be in a waiting mode for some of the young players that make up one of the best farm systems in all of baseball. Will 2015 bring more hope to the Twin Cities or will it be another rebuild season with a dash of top prospects getting their cup of coffee late in the season?

Folks have been confusing barbequing and grilling for quite some time. Sorry folks, but what goes on in your backyard with your gas or charcoal grill is grillin'—and not barbeque. Here's the difference:
Grilling is high temperature and happens fast (in a matter of minutes); it happens over direct heat.
Real barbeque is low-and-slow using indirect heat. It takes years to perfect and is measured in hours and days, not in minutes like with grilling.
Jimmy G's uses real hardwood in our smoker. We're partial to fruitwood because of the sweet, mild flavor it produces.

AAA baseball is pretty brutal. AAA division I teams should not play division II teams for league matches. Does either school get anything out of a 5 inning slaughter rule? It looks so boring for both sides. Many of the division II teams shouldn't even be at the varsity level. I imagine it would be more fun and beneficial for everyone involved if they played to their ability. The division II teams aren't going to develop in games where they are just getting beat down. The division I team isn't going to improve much by playing a team that has no business being out there. Why hasn't cifsf addressed this? Lowell, Washington, Balboa, Galileo, and Lincoln ought to play each other 3-4 times for league play and makes things more interesting.

This weekend a lot of people will be celebrating and painting and eating some eggs. So for today, Nikole and I have come up with a list of some famous eggs in video games. It was pretty tough to think of all the little guys, and maybe you know of a few others. Here's what we got:
- Pokemon eggs
- Yoshi Egg
- Dr. Eggman
- Mr. Egg
- Eggmania Eggs
So we've got the classic Pokemon eggs from Pokemon, Yoshi eggs from Mario, and Dr. Eggman from Sonic. But then there's Mr. Egg, the villain from the 1982 classic arcade game BurgerTime and then the ultimate multiplatform egg hit, Eggmania. Eggmania features over eight types of eggs like a DJ egg named Funky and a mechanical egg named Robo. Now that's eggciting. Do you have any egg plans this weekend?

11 January 1944: Major James Howell Howard, United States Army Air Corps, commander of the 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group, Eighth Air Force, led fifty P-51 Mustangs escorting three divisions of B-17 Flying Fortresses on a raid against Oschersleben, near Berlin, Germany.
As defending Luftwaffe fighters attacked the bomber formation, Major Howard immediately went on the offensive and shot down a twin engine Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstörer long range fighter. During this engagement, Howard became separated from his group, but climbed back to rejoin the bombers.
More that thirty German fighters were attacking the bomber formation and Major Howard single-handedly went after them. He shot down two, probably shot down two more and damaged at least another two. He continued to attack even after he had run out of ammunition and was low on fuel. When he returned to his base at RAF Boxted, his Mustang had just a single bullet hole.
For this action, James H. Howard was awarded the Medal of Honor. He is the only fighter pilot in the European Theater to have received this Medal.
Before the War, Howard had been a U.S. Navy pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) at Pearl Harbor. In June 1941 he went to join the American Volunteer Group—the "Flying Tigers"—in Burma, fighting for the Chinese against Japan. He is credited for shooting down 6 Japanese fighters.
The Mustang that he flew on the day of the aerial battle near Oschersleben was named DING HAO! and carried the victory marks from those AVG actions. ["Ding Hao" was an American World War II slang term based on the Chinese phrase, 挺好的 ("ting hao de") meaning "very good" or "number one".]
(Air Mission)
Rank and organization: Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army Air Corps.
Place and date: Over Oschersleben, Germany, 11 January 1944.
Entered service at: St. Louis, Missouri. Birth: Canton, China.
G.O. No.: 45, 5 June 1944.
Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy near Oschersleben, Germany on 11 January 1944. On that day Colonel Howard was the leader of a group of P-51 aircraft providing support for a heavy bomber formation on a long range mission deep in enemy territory. As Colonel Howard's group met the bombers in the target area the bomber force was attacked by numerous enemy fighters. Colonel Howard, with his group, and at once engaged the enemy and himself destroyed a German ME-110. As a result of this attack Colonel Howard lost contact with his group and at once returned to the level of the bomber formation. He then saw that the bombers were being heavily attacked by enemy planes and that no other friendly fighters were at hand. While Colonel Howard could have waited to attempt to assemble his group before engaging the enemy, he chose instead to attack single-handed a formation of more than thirty German airplanes. With utter disregard for his own safety he immediately pressed home determined attacks for some thirty minutes, during which time he destroyed three enemy airplanes and probably destroyed and damaged others. Toward the end of this engagement three of his guns went out of action and his fuel supply was becoming dangerously low. Despite these handicaps and the almost insuperable odds against him, Colonel Howard continued his aggressive action in an attempt to protect the bombers from the numerous fighters. His skill, courage, and intrepidity on this occasion set an example of heroism which will be an inspiration to the Armed Forces of the United States.
The P-51B was the first version of the North American Aviation fighter to be powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine in place of the Allison V-1710. Rolls-Royce had selected the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, to build Merlin aircraft engines in the United States under license. Early P-51Bs were equipped with the Packard V-1650-3, based on the Merlin 63. It was a right-hand tractor, 1,649-cubic-inch-displacement (27.04-liter), liquid-cooled, supercharged, single overhead cam 60° V-12 engine, which produced 1,380 horsepower at Sea Level, turning at 3,000 r.p.m. with 60 inches of manifold pressure (Military Power). The engine drove a four-bladed Hamilton Standard constant-speed propeller with a diameter of 11 feet, 2 inches (3.404 meters).
The P-51B was 32 feet, 2.97 inches (9.829 meters) long, with a wingspan of 37 feet, 0.31-inch (11.282 meters). It was 13 feet, 8 inches (4.166 meters) high. The fighter had an empty weight of 6,985 pounds (3,168 kilograms) and a maximum gross weight of 11,800 pounds (5,352 kilograms). Its cruise speed was 362 miles per hour (583 kilometers per hour) and the maximum speed was 439 miles per hour (707 kilometers per hour) at 25,000 feet (7,620 meters). The service ceiling was 41,900 feet (12,771 meters). With internal fuel the combat range was 755 miles (1,215 kilometers).
Armament consisted of four Browning AN/M2 .50-caliber machine guns, mounted two in each wing, with 350 rounds per gun for the inboard guns and 280 rounds per gun for the outboard.
1,988 P-51B Mustangs were built at North American's Inglewood, California plant. 1,750 of the nearly identical P-51C variant were produced at Dallas, Texas. This was nearly 23% of the total P-51 production.
DING HAO!, James H. Howard's P-51B Mustang, was lost in combat 23 July 1944.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
The first part of winning the battle against the aliens in XCOM: Enemy Unknown is having the best technology. However, in order for you to get the best weapons, armor, and security, you need your research and engineering team in top shape. Success doesn't come cheap. They will need lots of money and alien materials. Don't worry; I'll show you where you should invest your hard-earn money to get more bang for your buck in while designing your bases.
Get your wrench and hammer ready because you're about to learn how to build a killer HQ.
Building The Perfect Satellite System
The most important items in XCOM: Enemy Unknown are your satellites. These eyes-in-the-sky are able to identify UFOs, which Interceptors can shoot down. Afterwards, you can send your squad to collect the alien's materials. Satellites also calm the nations' panic levels. By covering a nation with satellites, you'll ease their worried brow as well as gain a bonus such as having your research team instantly complete an interrogation.
In order to build Satellites, you first need to build either a Satellite Uplink or Satellite Nexus and then build the actual satellite. There are 16 nations that need satellites, so you need to build enough Satellite Uplinks or Satellite Nexus to hold 16 Satellites. Here is the break down:
Satellite Nexus - 4 XCOM Satellites
- 8 Power
- 55 Engineers
- $300
- 25 Alloys
- 2x UFO
- Bonus +1 satellite capacity to for every adjacent uplinks.
Satellite Uplink - 2 XCOM Satellites
- 5 Power
- 50 Engineers
- $150
- Bonus +1 satellite capacity to for every two uplinks constructed adjacent to one another.
I would recommend building a Satellite Nexus as soon as you can, so you can build the Satellite Uplinks around it getting bonus satellite capacity. This will cost you 225 Engineers, 25 Alloy2, 2 UFO, 28 Power, and $1,300 to get this all up and running. Start saving your pennies now.
Learning How To Place Your Power Plants
There are three different kinds of power plants in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Each has different strengths and weaknesses. Elerium Power Stations, for instance, will provide you with the most power, but is very expensive to construct since it requires a lot of different alien materials. Here is the cost and bonus for each power plant:
Power Generator - +6 power
- $60
- Bonus: +2 power for every adjacent power facility
Thermo Generator - +20 power
- $200
- Bonus: +2 power for every adjacent power facility
Elerium Generator - +30 power
- $275
- 30 Elerium
- 40 Alloys
- 2x UFO Power Core
- Bonus: + 2 power for every adjacent power facility.
The best power plant in terms of cost and performance is the Thermal Generators, but you can only build these bad boys on the two steam vents at the base. I would recommend mining down the steam area, building two Thermal Generator there, and then surrounding it with six other Power Generators. The total cost to do that will be $760 and provide you with 76 power. If you need more power, just build a couple more generators around the ones your already have in place.
Get More Out Of Your Engineers
As you play XCOM: Enemy Unknown you will soon realize how much more important engineers are in the game than scientists. Getting more scientists will just increase the speed of research. Engineers, however, are require to build the items. You could build every item with just one scientist.
- 3 Power
- 25 Engineers
- $130
I would recommend building 4-5 Workshops together, which provide you with extra Engineers and make them more efficient. Total cost: $780, 125 Engineers, and 15 power.
By following these guidelines, you'll be able to build the perfect facility that is cost efficient and will provide you with a large monthly stipend. Let's not forget that you'll also gain a handful of bonuses that will help you to create better weapons and armors in order to win the fight for Earth. Good luck, Commander!

Tell us a little bit about your novel, Bella Maura.
Bella Maura is actually a five-year-old girl with a unique spiritual gift of intercession. The novel is about how her parents unconventionally come together to help her foster those gifts. It depicts the challenges they face to provide a safe avenue for her just-beginning life.
Where do you find your inspiration for writing?
My writing is a form of prayer, or communication with God, in a lot of respects. I give Him all the credit. I also gather inspiration from music, nature, good movies, travel and just plain daydreaming.
The cover of your novel is gorgeous. Did you have any input into the design? What does it mean?
Thank you. It is original. I chose it from three possible covers submitted by my publisher, Creation House. Justin Evans designed it and it abstractly represents the renewing of one's mind (much like the process of caterpillar to butterfly) in order to pray. The mind must be spiritually renewed in order to know how to pray effectively, as is illustrated in many ways though out the novel.
Where can readers find you online? www.dawndyson.com
Anything else you'd like to share with us? Bella Maura is Book One of the Beautiful Justice series. The follow-up book, Justice Quinn is due to be released in 2011. Thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed!
Dawn Dyson lives with her husband on a farm in Nebraska and has degrees in both Animal Science and Education. She currently serves as the farm's office manager, but writing is her primary passion. She describes her writing as a God-given gift and strives to incorporate Christian themes throughout each of her works. She encourages others to find their passion in life, link it with God's and then share it with the world.
It's giveaway time!
Leave a comment for Dawn between now and Wednesday (include your email address if it's not in your profile) and I'll pick a winner next week.
If you'd like to chat with Dawn, she's hosting a special online discussion Halloween night from8-11pm Central time on Facebook and Book Blogs.

- Version 1.2 | Release Date: 2013-08-04 | Download

What's New in Version 1.2

COLOR WHEEL PICKER
Sometimes you need to only slightly change the color you've just picked to a darker shade or you might want to desaturate it a bit. Or you don't give a damn about what's on the screen and you just want to choose a color. Hey, we got your back. It's in the menu. :)

COLOR PROFILES
Color management and profiles are often an annoyance… if you can't control them. Now you can. Choose from the preferences what your color space of choice is, Frank will do the rest.

LOUPE COLOR LABEL
Inspect colors before picking them with a label that now comfortably sits in the loupe interface in two flavors: RGB and HEX values.

PHOTOSHOP TO FRONT (OR NOT)
At times, say you are coding with Photoshop open in the background and the remote connection running, you end up being annoyed by picking colours and having Photoshop pop back to front every time you use Frank. You can deactivate this behavior from the preferences now.

AND...
New pictures of us. LOL.

News Detail
Once Upon a Time at St. John Fisher College…
On Wednesday, March 27, St. John Fisher College's Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education and Lavery Library hosted the 15th Annual Rochester School Library System Storytelling Festival. Over 200 people attended the event, where Rochester students in grades 3 through 8 competed through storytelling.
Students and their families, local librarians, Rochester City School District School Library System Librarians, and Fisher literacy students, faculty, and librarians all gathered to hear the traditional folk tales that the students spent weeks reading and learning to prepare for the event. The competition was also open to students from the Rochester School for the Deaf. Those students used American Sign Language (ASL) to tell their stories and compete.
The students practiced for months leading up to the festival, holding competitions in the classroom in order to prepare for the big event. They each had 10 minutes, and were judged based on their story, facial expressions, gestures, and audience interaction. The competition promotes literacy development, and gives the students a chance to practice additional skills including public speaking.
As a special treat, professional storyteller, Karima Amin, performed and presented the winners with their awards at the end of the evening. Amin is also an educator, consultant, justice advocate, and drummer. She is a founding member of Spin-a-Story Tellers of WNY, Tradition Keepers: Black Storytellers of WNY, We All Storytellers, and Daughters of Creative Sound. Her storytelling has taken her throughout the United States, Southern Ontario, Canada, and to West Africa. Amin's first children's book, The Adventures of Br'er Rabbit and Friends, was published in 1999. The National Association of Black Storytellers (NABS) recently honored her with the 2012 Zora Neale Hurston Legacy Award for three decades of working to preserve and perpetuate the art of storytelling.
Funding for the festival was made possible through a grant from the Center for Community Engagement at St. John Fisher College.

July/August 2007
Abstract Logix
Keyboardist Jeff Babko usually plays on movie soundtracks, as a sideman for everyone from Larry Carlton to James Taylor, or in the late-night house band for The Jimmy Kimmel Show. On Mondo Trio, the Los Angeles-based musician steps to the fore with an unorthodox keyboards-saxophone-drums lineup and similarly varied bandmates. Saxophonist Jeff Coffin is a long-standing member of the serpentining Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta's résumé (Jeff Beck, Sting, Frank Zappa) strays further than Babko's.
The keyboardist's opening composition, "Head Trauma," even approximates Zappa's rocking instrumental "Apostrophe." Coffin switches to flute on Babko's frenetic "Vote 4 Morals," and the upshift in tempo suits Colaiuta. The drummer is a blur, showing a Tony Williams influence whether driving the main sections or soloing. Ditto "Five Before Happy Time," a slower, off-timed groove in which he thunders over the vamp of Coffin's sax and Babko's keyboards.
Babko capably blends vintage instruments (Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Hammond) with synthesizers throughout, and Coffin impressively plays tenor, alto and soprano saxes, flute and bass clarinet. The only problem with Mondo Trio is that the disc is front-loaded.
The fourth tune, Coffin's atmospheric "El Nino," gets sleepy halfway through its overly long eight minutes. The disc can't quite regain its early stride thereafter. Babko's strong left-handed bottom never falters, but even latter highlights like his Flecktones-tinged romp "X Marks the Spot" might've been better-served by having a bassist for him to interact with. There's no shortage of great playing by all three parties here, only shortages of song-sequencing and material that doesn't follow in its own footsteps. But Mondo Trio is good enough to spark hope that this sideman continues to improve by continuing to lead.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti's mural Sir Launcelot's Vision of the Sanc Grael (1857) for the Oxford Union had obstacles of visibility as soon as six months after he abandoned work on it. In spite of the mural's ruined, obscured, and unfinished state, it continued to be seen by Victorian viewers--both during and after the artist's life--through texts, reproductions of related artwork, and photographs of the mural project. The many constructed ways of seeing Rossetti's mural reflect both a determination to see the Oxford project in spite of its problems of visibility and to participate in creating Rossetti's reputation and artistic identity in the late nineteenth and first decade of the twentieth century.

For me, Web 2.0 is a learning experience. It affords me a hands-on training instruction on how to navigate my way through the Internet. It is a real fun and easy way to interact with women all over the world, and gets my messages across globally. I am really exited to have access to this powerful tool, and to have it added to my knowledge.
Even for a novice, Web 2.0 is user friendly, and it gives me all I need to get my job done efficiently, without stress. I find it to be a very effective form of training. I am now very confident, and happy to be a part of VOF 2010.
Web 2.0 has some very useful and informative terms that give one the needed guidance to the use of computer and the Internet .With the aid of Web 2.0; women are empowered to have their voices heard, communicating effectively with one another, and making a difference. It also gets women to share their thoughts about their affairs.
The solutions that Web 2.0 brings to the global women's empowerment is that it has given us the opportunity to be participants, and affords universal access to information from any computer, thereby making it less stressful in getting our voices heard.
Web 2.0 has already empowered me, in that it has given me the ability to read, and to be read from other women globally, and this allows me to be a well informed person. With the training I got from Web 2.0, I can confidently refer myself as a citizen journalist, in that I can publish, and distribute my stories globally through the Internet.
Web 2.0 has a very positive impact on me; it will continue to be empowering to me because it has given me links to other women, and the ability to hear and be heard. With the aid of Web 2.0, I believe I can navigate my way to the success of becoming one of the 2010 Global Correspondents.
If this is not empowerment, I wonder what else is. Thank you World Pulse, for having me on board, and getting me well equipped. More power.
Rose Candy @ GrandmaRose Foundation0Send Me Love
Take action! This post was submitted in response to Voices of Our Future Application: Empowerment and Web 2.0.
Dear Rose,
Your excitement for PulseWire, Voices of Our Future, and web 2.0 is infectious! I look forward to following your journal and cheering you on in this new journey!
How do you envision web 2.0 supporting GrandmaRose Foundation and serving as a tool for windows in Nigeria?
In friendship and solidarity, Jade
Dear Jadefrank,
I consider your response to my post, a prayer, and I will say a big AMEN to that. I do need that. From your mouth into God's ears. You are the greatest cheerleader, ever. PulseWire, Voices of Our Future, here I come. Web 2.0, way to go.
Thanks, and stay blessed

I wish you all the best and my wish is that you are selected. It is indeed a learning experience, something I didn't even think about myself. I am so proud of you, it's not a shame to be a widow and you have my respect and ultimate love for giving all the widows a voice Mama.
Take care of yourself and may God give you strength, always.

Great post dear Rose,
your message has been spread!
Dear Rose Candy,
Thank you very much for your thoughts on Web 2.0. I agree with you that each woman who has a computer at her fingers can now connect with women around the world, and it makes getting her voice heard that much easier! It would be wonderful if you could add personal examples of how you find using the internet empowering, or how you think it can help your Grandma Rose Foundation!
Kind regards,
"Tell me then, what will you do with your one wild, sweet, and precious life?" -Mary Oliver
Dear Rachael, MH: The Internet, through Pulsewire has been a powerful platform for me to reach out and touch women and children worldwide, by voicing out and sharing my experiences, as a helpless widow, as a single mother to my children and as a concerned and interested member of our universe.
Through the Internet, I have been empowered to reach children all over who are craving for the type of healing I have to offer through my mothering, molding, and nurturing messages. Believe me, this will definitely work. Remember, it worked on my children, and it will, and is really working on other children.
What Offline – face to face interaction will achieve in months, Online – Internet will reach millions in a minute, just by a click of the mouse. So, you can see, personally, Internet makes my work a whole lot easier. I call this divine empowerment, and Web 2.0 experience has been added to my Resume.
With a functioning, efficient Work Station and adequate constant power supply (in my country) to activate the Internet passage, GrandmaRose Foundation will now have a global platform to make an impact on helpless individuals who are waiting for a divine push.
We need to continuously reach out to our targeted audience, and the Internet is the avenue. Many women globally are really looking for empowerment to educate them and restore their self esteem through constant outcry from some one who was once in their situation. They need to FIND themselves, (please refer to my VOF Assignment Week Two – Finally FOUND myself).
Thanks, Rachael for your interest in my journal, and I hope you will find the above examples and explanations refreshing. Keep up the good works and stay blessed.

Dear Rose Candy,
You are inspiring and I can see your vision clearly. I am so glad that World Pulse can be a part of your platform and help spread your message. Thank you for all the hard work that you do--it is so needed!
Kind regards,
"Tell me then, what will you do with your one wild, sweet, and precious life?" -Mary Oliver
Dear Rachael: Your response was real fast. Thanks for keeping me, on my toes. I will definitely go the extra mile to get there. Stay blessed. Rose Candy @ GrandmaRose Foundation
Mothering, Molding and Nurturing children
Hello there, wow it sounds like you have discovered a lot of benefits with Web 2.0 so far! Great that you have already found it useful. And I agree with Rachael above, it would be very interesting to hear more about how using Web 2.0 will help with your work/life generally! Good luck with your work, take care, Antonia
Dear Antonia, Thanks for responding to my journal. Web 2.0 is a divine and powerful tool for me in that it enables me to reach my targeted audience - Women, widows, and children, in an instant. It is also userfriendly, in that I was not a professional internet navigator.
Let me borrow a part of my reply to Rachael, MH: "What Offline – face to face interaction will achieve in months, Online – Internet will reach millions in a minute, just by a click of the mouse. So, you can see, personally, Internet makes my work a whole lot easier. I call this divine empowerment."
You see, Antonia, I am a 61 year old woman, a widow and a single mother. I have had to go through a very rough road raising my children,and eventually myself, through educational empowerment which restored my self esteem, and gave my children educational enablement to function successfully in any society.
Because, I took the path, and it paid off, I believe every woman or widow out there somewhere will like to hear the voice and encouragement of someone who has threaded that path they on right now. I have been working hard to reach my audience, only around my environment, and a little far off, through face to face interaction. I thought I was reaching out until I stumbled on Web 2.0 through Worldpulse, and the system changed everything for good. I can now just publish a story, post it, and it gets to my people in seconds, thereby sending positive waves to otherwise discouraged and helpless people, globally. I know, I am yet to make more impact through the Internet and Web 2.0, when I eventually become a Global Corresspondent through Worldpulse. So help me God. Thanks for cheering me up. Stay blessed. Rose Candy @ GrandmaRose Foundation
Mothering, Molding and Nurturing children
Dear Rose Candy,
Thanks for your lovely reply! And for telling me a bit about your life. And you are right, I am sure many widows would find it very encouraging to hear your story and how you have dealt with the difficulties of being a widow and moving forwards with life. Web 2.0 would certainly help with the sharing of your story and your encouragement. Amazing that you put your children and yourself through education despite the difficulties... Thank you for replying to my post, good luck and take care.... Antonia xo
Hi Rose Candy, Thank you so much for participation in the excellent program. I enjoyed reading your first assignment. I felt that you wrote a well structured assignment that was clear and to the point with a good introduction and conclusion. My only real suggestion would be to add in a personal example/story of how Web 2.0 relates to you. What is the Grandma Rose Foundation? I can't wait to hear more form you. Thank you, Mila

The 60th birthday of Bob Dylan (né Robert Zimmerman) has created a bull market in baby-boomer nostalgia and soul-searching. In his 20's, Dylan defined a generation. Perhaps even more significantly, he invested pop music with social meaning, giving future generations a powerful tool for defining themselves. His religious identity has always been a source of mystery (and obsession) to Jewish fans. He flirted with Christian messianism, sent his children to a Beverly Hills Hebrew school, nearly joined a kibbutz and danced with the Lubavitchers. A generation that looked to Dylan for The Way seemed forever disappointed that he was often lost himself. Four decades later, his spiritual quest and his musical achievements seem of a piece -- a long strange trip, with so many of us as eager passengers.
