Skip to comments.Santorum commits Republican sacrilege: Attacks Ronald Reagan (Barf Alert)
Posted on 01/05/2012 7:24:42 AM PST by Kaslin
BRENTWOOD, N.H. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum committed one of the gravest sins in Republican politics on Wednesday evening by knocking the revered former President Ronald Reagan at a packed town hall meeting.
While addressing Americas entitlement crisis at his first New Hampshire event since his stunning near-victory in the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday, Santorum said Reagan contributed to the entitlement crisis by pushing Social Securitys sustainability issues down the road instead of dealing with them head-on in the 1983 bipartisan deal to fix Social Security.
If Rick Santorum gets elected and we do what I said that we need to do, which is to deal with the entitlement programs now, not 10 to 20 years from now, Santorum said.
Youll know unlike Ronald Reagan who maybe was a better politician than me youll know that it was Rick Santorum that worked together and got the American public to gather together to fix this problem. Why? Because it is our problem.
Santorum was walking the audience through what he called the ancient days of yesteryear in a interminable and incredibly detailed response to a questioner. He explained that in the 1983 deal Reagan brokered with Democratic Speaker of the House Tip ONeil to fix Social Security, the retirement age was moved back to 67, but that change wasnt slated to be enacted until the politicians responsible were out of office.
This was the brilliance of the politicians that did this, Santorum said sarcastically.
They were absolutely brilliant. They passed a bill that didnt take affect for 20 years so nobody blames them. It was brilliant. They increased the Social Security age by two years back in 1983 and it didnt start phasing in, it doesnt fully phase in for almost 40 years. And so Ronald Reagan did that. Most people have no idea no one associates Ronald Reagan with raising the retirement age. Why? Because all of the people it affected were nowhere near retirement and they didnt know about it.
To another questioner, he continued his critique of Reagan for the Social Security deal.
You know, I love Ronald Reagan, but if I would point to one thing during his administration that he did a serious wrong, it was this bill it was this Social Security fix, Santorum said.
He bought the idea of increasing taxes now thats always what the left wants to do increase taxes now, reduce benefits later. And thats exactly what the bill did.
Later Santorum invoked Reagan positively while explaining his plan to get rid of the tax code and create a new system with two rates: 10 percent and 28 percent.
Santorum said he chose 28 percent as the top rate, Because thats the top level Ronald Reagan put in place, and if it is good enough for Reagan on taxes, its good enough for me.
He also regretted the debt problems which he did not fix, but noted that was a conscious decision to make them a lower priority than winning the Cold War.
Ronald Reagan was not God and would be offended if anyone said he was. He just happened to be the most capable president this country produced in more than the last century.
Why that dirty SOB. Get a rope! /sarc
Or maybe because it's best to give the citizens such changes will affect time to make adjustments in their retirement plans. Santorum's not making as great a point here as he seems to think.
I hope he becomes competitive beyond Iowa, but this one won't help him with many voters.
I agree the headline doesn't match the story. It could just as easily be titled "Rick Santorum offers reasonable critique of 1983 law."
Most conservatives know Reagan was not perfect. For some reason, the MSM has been led to believe we think he was.
Well based on this article, what Santorum said was a legit criticism, OTOH trying to discuss SS at that time was death for a politician.
He bought the idea of increasing taxes now thats always what the left wants to do increase taxes now, reduce benefits later. And thats exactly what the bill did."
That quote is accurate. I heard Santorum say it last night at a town hall broadcast on C-Span.
That said, the headline is over the top. Citing a disagreement over one aspect of one bill from 1983 is hardly "sacrilege"
Unless Ronald Reagan has been designated by the GOP as a diety, beyond all criticism, Santorum's comment on a specific issue does not warrant the Daily Caller's histrionic headline. In the meantime, Santorum's specific claim can be discussed, debated, or refuted with substantive evidence.
Oh. And Reagan himself would probably agree with what Santorum said last night.
This is exactly true. He did do that by raising FICA taxes and changing/reducing some benefits, and then spent the newly created surplus as did both Bush's and Clinton.
That is not to say that Santorum or any Republican will do better than Reagan did 30 years ago. Look at the recent congress/Obama action on SS FICA taxes,.
Here goes the "take down Santorum" crowd.
So far, if we look at recent history, they win.
I rarely listen to O'Reilly, but I had it on Sirius last night driving, and I heard him put those words in Santorum's mouth as if it were fact. I'm glad Santorum pushed back and denied it. I just had to shake my head. They've done this with George Allen, Rick Perry, and now Santorum.
"Mitt Romney's propaganda people are very busy this week."
There is no rest for the wicked.
"that" was an attack on Reagan?
man, last 48 hours I hear nails being pounded all around Santorum but I don't see any jello stuck to the wall
Rise to the top to challenge RINO Romney and Marxist Obama and expect to see baseless attacks.
"Ronald Reagan was not God and would be offended if anyone said he was. He just happened to be the most capable president this country produced in more than the last century."
Agreed. His greatest mistake though was not Beirut, it was allowing a smaller man to ride his coattails.
"OTOH trying to discuss SS at that time was death for a politician."
When is it not? HealthControl is intended to 'fix' social security.
Reagan's deal with Tip O'Neal demonstrates you cannot reach "bi-partisan" agreements with democrats. They are driven by power and politics, not the good of the country.
I don't think it's the Daily Caller itself, but the author of this piece of crap. Btw, The Daily Caller was founded by Tucker Carlson
Well said!
Sure looks like it
Works for me!!!
Sorry but Rick is right. They, including regan, did what politicians always do. They pushed the hard stuff down the road for someone else to fix. Same as what they are trying to do with our debt crisis.
There were many frustrations during the Reagan years, but looking back, and growing wiser, myself, one realizes that this is not a perfect world and even presidents have limitations as to what they can legally do. When you look at the Reagan years there were a lot of things that I wish had been done better, but the one thing that carried him through in our hearts was his love of America and the belief that the things he did, we knew he thought it was the best for that time. Unlike our current occupant of the WH, who loathes the country, can only see the bad, hates the Constitution, etc., Reagan was a shining star, with his faults and all. We knew he cared for us. The One would seemingly imprison anyone who doesn't agree with him. The country had better wake up! Santorum would be like Reagan in a lot of ways, in my opinion. I like him and Perry the best.
So my barf alert was justified?
I doubt Pennsylvanians would support him.
He's definitely not my my choice.
So, you think if the SS retirement age is raised it should become effective immediately, or at the beginning of the next year?
Sorry, Santorum is half right at best on this one. Any change in any retirement age should give the affected individuals some number of years to make adjustments in their plans.
What a stupid article. I worship Reagan just as much as anyone else yet Reagan did some very un-conservative things at times. In particular, he supported amnesty. When it comes to cutting back government, though, no one can match Reagan. Especially not Santorum, whose book is filled with big government, Compassionate Conservative solutions to issues.
He is the top amnesty-blocker on offing. I will support him.
You're right, there should be no immediate affect to people who voted gimme their entire lives. We should all push the consequences for bad policy to our children.
Me personally, I'd rather fell the pinch myself than pinch my kids. But maybe I value their future more than you do.
No, he agreed to it if the borders got closed. Guess who didn't live up to their end of the bargain?
It's amazing that so many fail to see that the ones who paid into SS all their lives are not the ones who "voted gimme all their lives". Those would be welfare recipients and recipients of benefits from other programs they never paid into. But it's just so much easier (and cowardly) to make SS the political whipping boy.
Carry on.
..for goodness sakes, he aligns himself with Reagan, calls himself a Reagan conservative...
..He simply stated, during the course of a question put to him about social security...... how Reagan passed a bill that is just now, 20 years later, coming to fruition.....and it has a differnt outcome for folks now....
It was not an attack!
THe place was packed out.....the questions were really intense, but the crowd was with him.........
..and he attempted to answer ....and answer well....all the questions put to him.
The president does not raise raise taxes, it is Congress who does
I was also very aware of the increase in taxes that took place. Congress is the culprit. They have had almost 30 years to implement reforms. Like always, they wait till we are on the edge of a cliff before they even think about acting.
The President makes a terrific scape goat for Congress. They get to blame everything on him. Congress is supposed to pass the legislation, and the President's administration is supposed to implement it. Congress Critters dodge their responsibility so they can get re-elected. JMO.
my generation will pay into the system our entire working lives, but SS will be gone when it's our turn to collect. All we will have is your debt. You must be one of the baby boomers and feel entitled to retire on back.
Self-centered is when you want to make others pay the price for what you want. That is you. you want your retirement, and you don't care if you bankrupt the country to get it. Your generation blew SS's savings.
I want to take the pinch now, not twenty years from now when today's children will have to pay for what you want. So which of us is being self-centered?
big time
The POTUS that signs or vetos the bills and regularly cuts the deals and then takes credit for reforms like that SS reform one?
Do you feel that way about the tax increases in Obama-care?
I thought the Daily Caller was conservative. I'm reading more than one strange story from that website lately.
Speaking of the POTUS not raising taxes, have you noticed we call 'Obama-care' 'Obama-care' and not 'Pelosi-care' or 'Reid-care'?? Why you think that is?
All I see is articles of what he supposedly said, but no transcripts

Recommended as a MUST RUN AT LEAST ONCE becasue it has everything - scenery, atmosphere, music, even a bit of sand - now that was a surprise!!!Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Tough race, great day.Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Bagagged lorries left Birkenhead Park too early, left me at the start with a rucksack!In full: For me personally, the biggest gripe was having the start and finish so far apart, the logistics of getting to the start made a lot of people late for the race - added to the fact that the baggage lorries left early - you were knackered for a good timeDate of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Excellent first marathon! Emerging from the tunnel to the sound of drums was great! In full: Excellent organisation... carpark, baggage buses, toilets, water & gel stops, photos, marshals and finishing area were all great. The course was good... the first half on the Wirral side being mainly flat and having a great view along the promenade in New Brighton; the second half is more hilly but emerging from the tunnel to the sound of drums and a fantastic crowd really help. Great support from Liverpool and the volunteers. I was pleased with the medal, technical tshirt, banana, water and cliff bar when I had finished. An unforgettable first marathon!Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: 2nd Marathon, new PB, loved it!In full: So I ran the Liverpool marathon on Sunday, yes still sore! I ran it in 3.53.05. Was my second marathon, ran London last year in 4.23.08.It was hillier than I expected! 1st half was very scenic along the coast, pretty flat. 2nd half hillier.

In short: Fantastic race, would recommend to anybodyIn full: Really well organised, loved the new altered route, it really shows off what a great city Liverpool is. The crowds and volunteers were fantastic and supportive and really helped keep you going. Coming out of the tunnel to the drums and applauds was amazing.

Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: First Marathon and were better to do it in Liverpool my home town.Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: The best marathon event I've taken part in - thoroughly recommend itIn full: I absolutely loved this event. Its my 5th marathon (done Edinburgh, Greater Manchester and Robin Hood x 2) and my most enjoyable. The run along the New Brighton promenade was uplifting, the tunnel run was unforgettable, the noise at the tunnel-end was thunderous and the support in Liverpool was fantastic. The organisation was clockwork (including parking at Liverpool One and shuttle-bus to Birkenhead)and I'm really struggling to think of any criticism....alright, the chocolate energy bar at the finish was like a 1970s dried-up dog turd, but who cares? I haven't stopped smiling since Sunday....Will be back next yearDate of review: October 16, 2012

Just a note of interest... Coach Garry Maskaly opted not to attend a mandatory volleyball meeting of the committee that selects the North/South team. Chase Ealey was chosen but none of the required paperwork had been turned in by her coach, again Maskaly. Other varsity coaches on the committee have verbalized their support and disappointment for her. The team was in Albuquerque for state and the meeting was held during down time for the teams, five plus hours... No phone calls or emails to the coach have been returned, it appears he is in England. College team scouts these games, just saying. We may have had more team members nominated but we will never know, the coach never showed...
In 1985, Jonathan Pollard was an American civilian analyst working for U.S. Naval Intelligence, but he was also spying for three foreign countries.
I'm curious as to the Monitor's interest in highlighting the Police Beat by publishing photos of some people who are arrested and not others, and actually publishing them at all. Sure there's a clause that states that just because your photo or name are in the Police Beat, that doesn't mean you're guilty...but it sure taints the reader towards judging the people in there. Just like the same statement says use of the word "arrest" doesn't necessarily mean what most people and dictionaries think it means
I find the article on the Drug Trafficking arrests misleading with the inclusion of the specific charges and mug shots. Two of the people weren't charged with anything having to do with drugs, according to the charges. To include their information in this article is, in my opinion, misleading and unfair to them. Unless people carefully read the charges associated with each person carefully, they will be lumped in with those who did have drug-related charges. That's a very sad thing, and it gives me pause to think once again, that the Monitor is interested in sensationalism and that information published is misleading. I understand readership has declined...please be more responsible in your reporting. Ruining reputations in a small town as ours by including this misleading information is inexcusable.

"Are there then no laws in the legal sense in the law of Moses?" asks Cornelis Vonk, the Dutch Reformed pastor and preacher.
"Of course there are, but there is much more besides."
This, and what follows, comes from Vonk's newly translated Exodus, the second primer in CLP's growing Opening the Scriptures series:
Through his law, the Lord also taught Israel what sorts of social measures did and did not please him… Neither did the Lord forget to teach his people through the torah how they could please him through wise and generous economic measures…
…In the torah the voice of a Father is heard. God was teaching his chosen people what life is really all about so that they would follow his example and model themselves after his image.
He wanted them to be friendly and merciful, righteous and wise in daily life. Time and again the torah tells the Israelites, "You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. As the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today" (Deut. 15:14–15). The Lord's commands to Israel often had such a reason or motive attached to them. The torah had its basis in the deliverance from Egypt, which was the liberation of life. That's why the various social, economic, and legal measures all contain a hearty echo of the gospel. (more…)

Busch Student Center > Student Media > First-Year Early Entrance Program (FEEP)
Thank you for your interest in the First-Year Early Entry Program (FEEP) presented by the student media groups at Saint Louis University. We can't wait to meet you!
Those selected for FEEP will get a jump start with the award-winning and nationally-recognized student-run groups — KSLU radio, SLU-TV and The University News. From August 21-24, you'll hear from guest speakers, attend workshops led by media professionals, staff and faculty from SLU and the student leadership of the three groups.
But all work and no play is no good. There will be plenty of time to enjoy what the Midtown area has to offer, plus to enjoy hanging out with the other students who are in FEEP and those already a part of the media groups on campus.
The $200 programming fee covers all of your expenses. You won't have to spend any additional money for anything associated with the program. Housing, food, transportation and all other program items are included.
This program is about getting acquainted with what's great about KSLU, SLU-TV and The University News, Saint Louis University and the community that you'll call home for four (or more) years. When the rest of the Class of 2016 arrives on Aug. 24, you'll be free to attend Welcome Week and other new student activities, so you won't miss a thing.
Please know that by signing up for FEEP, you aren't signing your life away (or the next four years of it, anyway). Should you participate and then find that media creation isn't your cup of tea, we promise not to stalk you incessantly. But we hope you do stick around. After all, the more you participate, the more opportunities you'll have to rise through the leadership ranks.
Nor is FEEP a do-or-die ultimatum—if you aren't chosen to participate in the program or cannot participate for any reason, you are still highly encouraged to get involved with any and all of the groups upon your arrival at SLU. We will be hosting general interest meetings during the first week of classes.
So, if you like meeting national and international political leaders, getting press passes for Division I athletic events, receiving early releases of top albums and free tickets to shows and movies, along with other unique opportunities enjoyed by the student media groups you are highly encouraged to apply.
Tracing its roots back to almost a century ago, KSLU was founded by SLU's very own Brother Rueppel in 1921. Establishing itself as the second radio station in the United States (and the first station west of the Mississippi), KSLU has since developed into a fully-fledged student run organization on SLU's campus. Boasting two online streams to accommodate both college radio programming and KSLU Sports, the station also possesses a recording studio, a music reviewing committee, a writing team, and many outlets for promotion. Participants in KSLU's early-entrance program will receive training on all of the professional equipment the station possesses, meet the director's staff, engage with local professionals in the community, and gain the experience necessary to host a radio show immediately in the fall.
The Saint Louis University Television Network is SLU's student run TV station, broadcasting 24 hours a day on campus cable channel 22, with live content streamed online via our website. At SLU-TV, we air student produced content, as well as movies and on-campus events. SLU-TV's largest operation is SLU News 22, where we cover campus and local news, interviewing as well as other important figures in the community.
The University News
Founded in 1921, The University News is an entirely student-run newspaper at Saint Louis University located in St. Louis, MO. Since there is not a journalism program at Saint Louis University, all editorial content is developed by a staff of student editors, and all advertisements are sold by a staff of student sales associates. The University News is chartered through Saint Louis University's Board of Trustees, and is published every Thursday during the academic year.

Chlorthalidone, a 'water pill,' is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions, including heart disease. It causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.
This medicine is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Chlorthalidone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken once a day or every other day after a meal, preferably breakfast. It is best to take this medicine in the morning to avoid going to the bathroom during the night. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take chlorthalidone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Chlorthalidone controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take chlorthalidone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking chlorthalidone without talking to your doctor.
Chlorthalidone may also be used to treat patients with diabetes insipidus and certain electrolyte disturbances and to prevent kidney stones in patients with high levels of calcium in their blood. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medicine for your condition.
Before taking chlorthalidone,
Follow your doctor's directions. They may include following a daily exercise program or a low-salt or low-sodium diet, potassium supplements, and increased amounts of potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice) in your diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Frequent urination should go away after you take chlorthalidone for a few weeks.
Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Keep this medicine in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medicine that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medicine.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly, and blood tests should be done occasionally.
Do not let anyone else take your medicine. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Cluffy P4 Everyday Wedge
The P4 Wedge™ everyday product has been designed to meet your every day needs. The wedge fits comfortably on the underside of your shoe liner, insole, or custom orthotic. Whatever your every day consists of, be it a day at the office, a stroll at the park or a hike in the woods, let the P4 Wedge™ supercharge your shoe and your day.
Many people experience pain relief immediately in their heel, arch, ball of foot, Achilles tendon and bunions. Athletes have told us they've seen dramatic improvement in their performances and walking, jogging or running has never felt better.

The big toe joint is stiff in 90% of people who suffer from foot pain, and also leg, knee, hip, and lower back pain. The big toe is like a light switch, allowing the foot to function two different ways, as a shock absorber, then as a stable structure. When the big toe is stuck, it's like a light switch you cannot move. The P4 Wedge® allows the big toe to move freely, allowing the switch to work. Now it is possible for the foot to function as it was intended with normal motion of the big toe joint. When the big toe joint bends and permits the body to roll forward unhindered for the next step you can take longer steps and roll over the ball of your foot, which will allow your foot to work properly. This allows the big toe joint to bear the weight it was intended to bear, lessening pressures on the ball of the foot and relaxing tension in the toes.
Instructions: the wedge should be placed 1/8 in (3mm) beyond the big toe.

Farewell, Caballo Blanco
Trail running was a key component to the full life Micah True lived
"The world would be a better place if we all lived more simply". - Micah True 2011
Photo by Luis Escobar
This article appeared in our July 2012 issue.
Living simply amid the complexities of the modern world was something that came easy for Micah True, the man who became known as Caballo Blanco, Spanish for "White Horse," in the 2009 bestseller Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall. A holdover hippie, True purposefully lived most of his life without much money or many material possessions.
But, as the world first learned from McDougall's almost larger-than-life portrayal of him, True lived a bountiful life full of rich experiences, both as a trail runner and as a selfless humanitarian who dedicated the last 15 years of his life to trying to help Mexico's indigenous Raramuri people—a.k.a. the Tarahumara Indians—of the Copper Canyon, where he had lived part-time since the mid-1990s.
True was an iconoclast, an individualist, often stubborn, sometimes obstinate, a bit goofy and, by choice, somewhat of a loner, too. He traveled light and moved freely through life, as he did on the trails, but his simple and sometimes primal messages made lasting impressions and connected people—both in life, and in death.
While the mystery remains about how True died, trail running on March 28 in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness, his legacy isn't in question. Those who knew True best—especially those who spent time with him in the Copper Canyon—say he lived his life by the spirit of Korima, the Raramuri word for sharing whatever you have and giving without any expectation of return.
"The thing about Korima is that it's a circle of sharing and it's just what comes from your heart, and Micah had a enormous heart," Maria Walton, True's girlfriend since 2009, said at a memorial service for True in Boulder. "He was just a simple man who had a simple vision that touched everyone with love."
Michael Randall Hickman wasn't necessarily born to run when he came into this world on November 10, 1953, in Oakland, California, even if there would soon be plenty of signs he had both the body and mind to become a good athlete. What was more apparent early on is that he quickly became accustomed to living a nomadic life, largely because his father was a gunnery sergeant in the Marines and the family moved all over California before eventually settling near San Jose. The second oldest of four siblings, Michael took boxing lessons as a youngster, partially to fend off bullies that hounded him for being the outspoken new kid in so many schools.
Being a teenager in the late 1960s wasn't easy. It was a changing time in the United States, when the happy sheen of the 1950s dissolved into a decade painted by social revolution, growing economic disparity, racial tensions and the Vietnam War. It was against that backdrop that Hickman would enroll at Humboldt State and pursue eastern-philosophy and Native-American studies. To pay for school, Hickman, who sported long blonde hair throughout the 70s and 80s, began fighting for money in bars under the name Gypsy Cowboy.
His wayward path eventually led him to Los Angeles, where, among other things, he briefly worked as a stagehand for CBS while still trying to make it as a semi-pro boxer. While he was intrigued by the physical, mental and tactical challenges of boxing (and later kickboxing), he came to the realization many years later that he was probably too much of a thoughtful idealist to become a stone-cold killer in the ring. He had his share of success, though (his professional record wound up at 9-11, but some of those losses were bouts in which he was paid to take a fall, according to former Daily Camera sports reporter Neill Woelk, who wrote about Hickman as a fighter in the early 1980s). In 1980, he cashed in some of his earnings for a brief respite in Maui, where he hoped to find his purpose in life.
There, he met a running hippie named Smitty, who lived in a cave, and spent several hours a day trekking over wild trails along mountain ridges. In addition to this first foray into trail running, Hickman, then 26, ventured further into a transient, evanescent lifestyle, learning to live minimally, eating wild fruit and sleeping on the beach and in caves.
Hickman's time in Hawaii was curtailed when he met a woman named Melinda, a vacationing graduate student from Seattle, with whom he fell in love and followed to Boulder. That affair also turned out to be short-lived, though, when she left him for another man and moved back to Seattle.
"He kind of bounced around a bit before he landed in Boulder," says longtime friend and running companion Dan Bowers. "Even when he was here, he was never really tied down to this place. He had friends in Boulder—a lot of friends—but he was always kind of a lone wolf."
With the idea that he wanted to live the most righteous life possible, Bowers said, he eventually changed his name to Micah True—an idealistic moniker blended from the Old Testament prophet Micah and his canine companion True Dog. He continued his career as a pugilist, and in 1981 and 1982 won his first six fights in Denver, but as he approached 30, he was in search of something else.
Although Boulder had already made a name for itself as one of the country's top running towns, relatively few people were really running the growing trail network that covered the iconic local mountains of Mount Sanitas, Green Mountain and Bear Peak. Around the same time that his boxing career sidetracked briefly into kickboxing, True found that running those steep, unforgiving Boulder trails gave him a much greater level of strength and fitness than he had ever known, not to mention an untethered sense of freedom and a visceral connection to the natural world.
"Mountain runners are a different breed," True told the Boulder Daily Camera in June 1986. "They're less concerned with their times and more in touch with the mountains."
At the time, trail running was in its infancy. Although dozens of trail races were thriving—including the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which officially became a foot race in 1977—most were small regional events that were completely off mainstream runners' radars.
True ran his first trail races in 1985 during the second season of a series known as the Colorado Mountain Race Circuit. He loved the unique challenge of racing on the trails, even if he wasn't very successful in what were relatively short-distance events. (That series of five- to 15-mile races is long gone, but several of the events—including Pikes Peak Ascent, Kendall Mountain Run and Vail Hill Climb—remain popular nearly three decades later.) "I was never that fast, but I found the longer I went the better I was," True recalled in a 2009 interview. "That's why I really liked the ultra events."
Then 31, True finished 167th in the Pikes Peak Ascent in 3 hours 19 minutes, a modest competitive effort but one that piqued his interest for longer, more grueling races. He continued to build his aerobic base with multi-hour training runs—often solo—in the mountains.
"I'd go run for hours and never see anybody at all, and then I'd bump into Micah with this big smile on this face," says Diane Israel, who, along with True were among the first Boulder trail runners to make a name for themselves.
At that point, True was living partially off the grid in a small cabin near 9000 feet off of Magnolia Road between Boulder and Nederland while earning money from his one-man moving company. He didn't have many clothes, didn't make or spend much money and didn't possess half of the stuff that most 30-somethings have. Although he would often bump into some of the world-class marathoners training in Boulder, True eschewed the rising public interest in 10Ks, marathons and other road races.
As Mike Sandrock, a local running writer who used to train with some of those elite marathoners recalls, True quickly developed a reputation as a freethinking ultrarunner. One day while a group of runners that included Sandrock and Australian Rob de Castella passed True on a Boulder trail, True mentioned that he was two-thirds of the way through what would be a six-hour run.
"I remember 'Deke' saying, 'That's fantastic Micah, but that's why I'm glad I'm a marathoner," Sandrock says. "Even back then, Micah was doing his own thing, following his own path. That's what made him who he was."
Not surprisingly, True didn't have an interest in running the growing Bolder Boulder 10K race, but instead opted to run one of the first ultra-distance runs in the region, Wyoming's Rocky Mountain 50-Mile Run between Laramie and Cheyenne. His training and passion for trail running were paying off, as he won his ultra debut in May of 1986 in a little more than six hours.
"Mountain races are different because there are less runners and more open terrain," True said at the time. "I guess that's why I'd rather run 50 miles with 25 crazies than run a 10K with 20,000 people."
True eventually delved deeper into ultrarunning and placed 10th at the Leadville 100 in 1987, running 22 hours 33 minutes. He also did some mountain biking and cycling, but the primal act of running is what fueled his fire. At the time, he was typically running more than 170 miles per week, starting many mornings with a 25-miler at 4 a.m. and often doubling up with another 10-miler at lunchtime.
"I was fortunate to win my first ultra, and that kind of sent me on my way," True said in 2009. "I was kind of hooked on it, but I quickly found I liked the running part more than I liked the racing part. It's not that I didn't like racing, but it's more that I really enjoyed the long peaceful training runs a lot more."

Skip to comments.Obamacare will make us a part time nation
Posted on 11/23/2012 2:14:57 PM PST by SeekAndFind
There are already 8 million Americans working part time who want to work full time. It seems likely that number will skyrocket once Obamacare is implemented.
An Obamacare supporter is as stupid as the Democrats who passed the legislation in the first place:
When my better half told me that her boss was thinking about cutting all full-time employees to part time in order to avoid the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act insurance requirements (for full-time employees), my initial response was, "Surely the federal government wouldn't have allowed such a blatantly obvious way of getting out of the requirement." But that turned out to be false.
In fact, major names in the service/hospitality industry (e.g., Denny's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster and Longhorn Steakhouse) are already in the process of going to a part-time employee schedule for all employees. Thus, as a very possible consequence of the short-sightedness of the Affordable Care Act legislators, more people will be working two jobs to make ends meet.
Yet acquiring a second part-time job may be an impossibility for a large number of service/hospitality employees. Most part-time employees in this industry do not work full eight-hour shifts in a day. Rather, they work five to six days a week for four to six hours at a time during the busiest hours. Thus, it may not be possible for part-time workers to work more than one job, because the days they will be available to work will have been constrained by the part-time job they are trying to supplement.
The problems, however, may not end there. Because more people will be forced into part-time positions and into working multiple jobs, then less people will have the time to go to college, have benefits like vacation and sick days,
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Don't worry, the Democrats/Obama will sooner or later announce even more giveaways to make up for it.
America's Transition To A Part-Time Worker Society Accelerates As Part-Time Jobs Hit Record
Not a flaw, a feature.
Dependent Americans from sea to shining sea - sounds like an Obama plan.
We are not supposed to question the wisdom of Obama and the good Democrats who shoved this down our throats. We are not supposed to say anything about unintended consequences of such brilliant enlightened legislation such as Obamacare. (Sarcasm)
No, it will instead convert all those remaining W-2 employees to 1099 contractors with self-funding of their own benefits in a big hurry!!!
The fact that we haven't had capitalism for a long time will not be mentioned.
Fine by me. I'm 58 and will get 28k/yr retirement if I quit tomorrow. A McJob for 20-30 hours a week would be just fine. Good luck finding 2 of them.
This is all gonna leave a big mark and I can hardly wait for all the Obama voters to start weeping and wailing and gnashing thier teeth with jaws clenched like their fists!!!
I'm 59, I'd love a 30 hr job. It beats the zero hours I'm working now by a helluva lot.
Congress keeps forgetting to repeal that d*mned Law of Unintended Consequences!
They won't. I remember some of them acknowledging job growth under W by saying "I've got 3 of them!" First of all he's lying. Second, now it will be true and I'lll be laughing.
Everyone will be like this family.
In Living Color - Hey Mon!
Always remember the left's always have mulitple goals with any policy they push. That way they can "win" on one or more multiple fronts.
Take Obamacare. They want the economy to tank, Obamacare helps this. they want to shrink the middle class. Obamacare does this. They don't want America as the last superpower b/c world govt can't abide any superpowers. Obamacare aids in that happening. They want govt funded abortion on demand. Obamacare does this. They want more control over intimate, private areas of your life. Obamacare does that. They want govt to take over healthcare and have a single payer (govt) system like europe and canada have. Obamacare furthers this goal. They want to penalize those that don't want Obamacare. Obamacare does that.
Unfortunately no one out there is going to talk about the fact there is hardly any healthcare in the bill. It's only about power and enslavement.
We are SO screwed now.....
The IRS has rules that preclude doing that unless the employee/contractor works off-site. That is possible for many jobs, but not very useful for many other jobs.
their = they're
I'm 57 — work long hours as a legal assistant, but I am also a personal fitness trainer. I could see going from 30 hours as a legal assistant and training the rest of the time. But, this is not a good thing for most people — I think this stinks on ice.
If it's good enough for europe, it's good enough - or better - for us.
Donchaknow that it is rude to confuse people with facts?
If 3 people go to 30 hour weeks and a 4th is hired to take up the slack, it's pretty good for that 4th one.
And Obama will get NONE of the blame. The Dem's and their media toadies will put all the blame on greedy Republican business owners.
Only if companies fundamentally change their operating structures. The IRS is very quick to look at all 1099 type firms, and if they smell one whiff of a W2 employee hiding under a 1099, the financial ramifications cost cause the company to close it's door.
If the company is in any way, shape or form, close to the 50 employee thresh hold, best bet would be to reduce employees to around 40, and then leave them there until, hopefully, we get a reset.
Employers under 50, are currently exempt from the fines and taxes, but we're grandfathered in to our old plans and have no way to switch to new plans that might be better because of the new structure.
I spent the days after the election trying to explain to the employees in our company what was going to happen, what the mandate meant to them, and why we probably would never grow our company beyond 40 people or so.
Better safe than sorry with the government looking back at the last 12 months to see how many eligible employees you have to see if you qualify for penalties. This is why people are laying off and reducing work now, because come 1/1/14 and the government does the 12 month lookback, no one wants to be more than 49 eligible employees!
Baraq's new normal
the 29ers
Get used to this and other degradations, America.
Remember when we conservatives warned you about the ramifications of the Obamacare monstrosity. Remember.. how we said Obamacare was but one of the items on Obama`s destroy-America agenda, and you ignored us at best and at worst accused us of racism? Remember how we warned you unemployment was going to skyrocket? Remember how you voted on (and in some cases before) 6 Nov?
Well, you stupid, ignorant, self-absorbed, sh*t-for-brains sheep who voted for Obama or sat on your lazy asses and didn`t vote at all... elections have consequences.
Take a look at your situation, America... what you see is the best it`ll ever be. It`s all downhill from here.
The author forgot something. The goal of this strategy is for the companies to avoid paying for the health care of their employees. Yet having health insurance is now mandatory. So, an employee who now has to work two 29 hour jobs (58 hours), not only has less free time, but is now required to pay for health care that they didn't have last year. So quite a bit of the extra money coming in from the extra 18 hours per week will be spent on coercive health care. It is an extra 18 hours to tread water for the most part.
And for all the mess this will cause, the real effect is coming in a couple of years, as companies with large numbers of minimum wage employees decide to automate their way out of the problem, and getting rid of as many jobs as they can. The "job boom" in part time work is a temporary bubble. In ten years, the jobs won't be there at all, if they can be automated.
I think O welcomes part time workers. 'Work is bad,' after all. And surely the Holy Government can pick up the slack, making folks ever more dependent. What's not to like?
There's no job in a restaurant which can be legally 1099'd besides the piano player in the lounge. Restaurants can use staffing firms but then the staffing firm will have to W2 the personnel, and you're back where you started, unless the Obamacare bureaucracy will let you break up your personnel into a string of 49-employee-max staffing firms ... which somehow I doubt.
Me too! I'm also 58 and would love to retire and work part-time. I'm tired of working 84 hours a week. Everything I have is paid for, including the farm, and I don't need to make as much as I do. I will have a greatly reduced retirement healthcare rate from my employer, a pension, my 401K and profit sharing. I have stock in Kraft, Duracell, Gillette and Proctor & Gamble. I think I can make it.
I would think there are a lot of paths to take. McDonald's has already tested the technology of outsourcing their drive through order takers to India. If a fast food restaurant redesigns their space to a drive in like Sonic, where people eat in their cars, it will remove the labor involved in keeping their seating areas clean. Many restaurants have moved their drink machines out to the customer areas because the labor involved in getting a drink is more expensive than the drink itself, so they outsource to the customer to get their own drink.
Bit by bit, the labor can be removed from these companies.
"And Obama will get NONE of the blame. The Dem's and their media toadies will put all the blame on greedy Republican business owners."
And the bad healthcare will be blamed on the doctors.
"Obamacare will make us a part time nation"
Well, why not? Conservatives and patriots only control 30 states, and that's up from 25 in 2010.
Let's not organize, let's not elect constitutional sheriffs, let's not clean out the rats in our neighborhoods sitting on local village and county board seats.
That's too much work. Let's all get on our knees and be fitted for chains. We only control more than half the population of the US. That's obviously not enough to take on two million fat pigs in the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington who can't shot, can't man a battlefield and will run at the first hint of trouble.
F***, we're doomed.
What about those self service cafeterias they had in the 50s? I think we are going to see a lot more automation with an eye towards eliminating checkout positions, and possibly robotic stocking. Just keep an armed guard at the odor to see that things don't get out of hand.
Iirc McDonalds has the ability to automate every function in their restaurants. They have had it for years.
Democrats will simply outlaw part-time employment and mandate everybody has to work a minimum of 30 hours. Looking ahead a couple moves, what next?
Control of states doesn't mean much when the states are little more than provinces of the great federal empire.
It will have to involve punishing businesses and benefitting one of their voter bases.
I'm the mother of one such part time worker. It's a constant worry that the employer will conclude they've got to cut some more corners in this decrepit economy — and the first to go will be the new hires, the under- 30hrs/week people. They're practically temps anyway. And when they go, there's no unemployment insurance.
The schedule of a part timer is also problematic, as mentioned. The first employer takes "prime time" leaving you late hours or odd hours. Some companies even put part timers on an ever-changing schedule, so it's almost impossible to find another job because you never know from one week to the next when you will be scheduled at the first job. Forget about continuing education!
I've talked to a depressing number of people who say, "well, if you're let go, just call county assistance!" I believe that is what the Democrats consider a side benefit: the new normal of 30 hours means a lot more people will eventually discover the joys of parasitism.
Do you mean Automats?
Buffet style restaurants have an advantage under Obamacare, as they outsource more labor to the customer. A SouporSalad type restaurant is probably more competitive labor wise than McDonald's.
There will also be a flurry of smartphone apps for these types of stores, because by having a smartphone app for ordering/payment, they can outsource more of the labor to you. Expect to see apps and special lines for pickup with a better deal to encourage their use.
Also, it doesn't take any technology to simply reorganize the company differently, and shed individual restaurants to small business owners, and just sell the franchise brand.
And now they have a reason.
"Control of states doesn't mean much when the states are little more than provinces of the great federal empire.'
This is the kind of surrender monkey crap that pisses me off. You want to give up? Fine. Leave FR. Go lick the hand of your slave master. If you're not aware of all the battles the states have been engaged in and won, you're a simpleton.
Jim Robinson has made a number of outstanding statements urging FReepers to take control and fight. Get lost, Leaning Right. You don't belong on this website.
BUT BUT BUT I was told by a free trader that automation is GOOD because someone had to be hired to build the robotic machine, program it and maintain it!!!!! Those jobs will be created in the US to re employ all those high school grad factory workers that were fired!!!! So free traders, where are all those good paying robotic related JOBS!!!!!
"all the Obama voters to start weeping and wailing and gnashing thier teeth with jaws clenched like their fists!!!"
Blaming Bush!!!
"Donchaknow that it is rude to confuse people with facts?"
Just ask the whores who call themselves "the media".
"I think I can make it."
Take it from me - you can. Do it now, while you can still enjoy life.
The Obama voters won't weep and wail. They aren't even working, NOW! Only when their food stamps stop will they complain.

In a recent letter to patients, Craig said one benefit of joining Thompson is using an electronic medical record (EMR) format, allowing for better documentation and rapid connections to lab results, x-ray results, and all other information generated by his patients' healthcare providers.
According to Thompson Health Executive VP and COO Kurt Koczent, Craig has approximately 5,000 patient visits per year. "We are very excited about this partnership. Having Dr. Craig join Thompson allows us to broaden our outreach to the communities we serve," Koczent said.
Koczent noted that with the addition of Craig's patients, Thompson will be better positioned for a regional approach to population health management because data gathered through EMR helps identify the greatest health needs of community members, influencing the programming Thompson offers in an effort to help patients manage chronic conditions.

A recent study conducted for Sleepy's has found the top 10 most and least sleep-deprived jobs. This study comes in light of Daylight Saving Time which is less than one month away (Sunday, March 11th)! As we all prepare to lose an hour of sleep in March, check out the list of the already sleep-deprived occupations:
- Home Health Aides
- Lawyers
- Police Officers
- Physicians, Paramedics
- Economists
- Social Workers
- Computer Programmers
- Financial Analysts
- Plant Operators
- Secretaries
I can see why home health aides top the list of most sleep-deprived job because many aides are working for more than one family and frequently work night shifts. These sleep-deprived occupations can also be related to most stressful and most dangerous jobs rankings, which is no surprise why they are also sleep-deprived. On the opposite end of this study, the most well-rested occupations were also determined. Here's that list:
- Forest, Logging Workers
- Hairstylists
- Sales Representatives
- Bartenders
- Construction Workers
- Athletes
- Landscapers
- Engineers
- Aircraft Pilots
- Teachers
The theme among some of the well-rested jobs is that many are jobs that require working outdoors. Getting additional time in the sun not only boosts moods, but also helps keep the circadian rhythm in order. No matter if you're in the most sleep-deprived or well-rested occupations, sleep is important for not only health, but also job performance. So on Sunday March 11th when we all lose an hour of sleep, keep these sleep tips in mind, to make sure you get your quality sleep.
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
- Sleep in a room that is dark, quiet & cool.
- Make sure your mattress properly supports your body.
- Avoid caffeine after 12pm.

Environmental Benefits of eBills
If just 1 percent of PG&E customers use eBills, more than 12 tons of paper would be saved each year. This would also:
- Save 42 tons of wood, the equivalent of 290 trees
- Conserve 249,000 gallons of processing water
- Eliminate 35 tons of green house gases related to processing emissions--from operating the vehicle that harvests trees to running the paper mill to transporting the end-product paper
- Reduce the equivalent of 498 million Btu of energy
Take advantage of this convenient, cost-saving and environmentally beneficial service. Together, we can help reduce the impacts to the environment.*
