The right leadership can lead California to a great future
May 2, 2014
The dust is settling on the first round of Obamacare, but the radical changes to our insurance markets and health care are far from over.
In the years ahead, California insurance runs the risk of becoming less competitive, with fewer products and higher prices that shortchange consumers, unless we change direction soon.
For a foreshadowing of our future problems, look no further than Covered California, the health insurance "Exchange" set up by the state to administer the Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans. Covered California is celebrating the news that 1.4 million Californians signed up for new health insurance plans through the exchange. And even this number is likely vastly inflated, considering what will certainly be duplication in signups and customers who will default on their premiums.
They conveniently leave out the fact that they cancelled nearly a million plans themselves, even though the president himself — the Obama in Obamacare — told states they didn't need to cancel plans to be in compliance. The Exchange marched ahead anyhow, leaving helpless consumers scrambling to find plans in the wake of their unnecessary and harmful decision.
Nine million Californians might lose their plans when the ACA mandates affect employer-sponsored insurance. Maybe more. I won't see Covered CA trample on these millions of families like they did with individual market consumers. That's why I sued the Exchange, to stop them from overstepping their authority and pulling the health insurance rug out from underneath a quarter of the state.
My suit also takes dead aim at the reckless spending and waste at Covered California. The Exchange infamously squandered nearly $1.4 million on a video of '80s fitness sideshow Richard Simmons prancing around on a stage with a contortionist in an attempt to reach out to millennials. I wish I was making this up, but I'm not. That $1.4 million is more than many Californians will make in a lifetime of work.
The Exchange, only four years old, already projects a $78-million deficit in 2015/16 and more than $30 million the next year. Politicians can't sit back and watch this happen. Taxpayers and ratepayers need a real advocate to protect them from ridiculous, wasteful spending, and that's why I am taking the Exchange to court — to hold them accountable.
Without intervention, Covered California could come to the general fund to bail them out or raise the monthly surcharge on health insurance plans so high that it will discourage people from buying insurance in the first place.
Obamacare has valuable components, such as the pre-existing condition coverage, but under the costly and ineffective administration of Covered California, it veers toward disaster.
"MICRA" reform could raise the liability limits for doctors. This would drive up insurance costs above even the inflated ACA-compliant plan costs and choke off the supply of medical care in the state, as doctors leave or limit the scope of their practices to manage their higher exposure.
Even worse, the Department of Insurance (DOI) may get authority over health insurance plan rate increases. This may sound good for consumers, but it's just the opposite. As is the case with any other product, it's competition — not government control — that drives down prices. And under this insurance commissioner, the DOI has hardly been the consumer's friend.
The DOI already pressured Anthem Blue Cross, one of the state's largest health insurance providers, out of one critical state insurance market, leaving families with fewer choices to meet their health-care needs. DOI is also slow to approve rate decreases that would benefit consumers. Rate decrease applications take between 4-12 months, leaving ratepayers out to dry while the bureaucratic process slowly grinds on.
New product approvals are slow to nonexistent, meaning that Californians are robbed of advances that people in every other state use to protect themselves, their families and businesses, all while saving money. Putting this DOI in charge of health insurance would be a death blow to innovation and competition, leading to higher costs for everyone.
Obamacare changes by the day. Covered California runs ahead of the president himself on his signature policy, leaving a million Californians angry at their canceled coverage and nine million more scared of what's coming next. Initiatives threaten to inject more government between families, doctors and insurers. This is a wild time, and Californians need the ultimate consumer advocate fighting for them, now and in the future.
I've spent my whole career as a small business owner and independent insurance agent helping families and businesses grow and succeed. I'm running for insurance commissioner because in an era of unprecedented change, my experience and commitment to a free, competitive insurance market will serve California just as it has served the many clients I've built strong partnerships with over the decades. With the right ideas and right leadership, California can enjoy a future every bit as great as its past.

Rallies and Events Planned Nationwide on Day of U.S. Supreme Court Ruling in Lambda Legal's Historic Case Against Texas Sodomy Law
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(New York, Wednesday, June 4, 2003) - With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to issue its ruling in Lambda Legal's case challenging Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law as early as Monday, local events around the nation are being planned for the day the decision is announced.
LGBT groups are planning celebrations or protest rallies for the afternoon and evening of the decision, depending on the court's ruling. Lambda Legal is working closely with community activists to coordinate these events and disseminate up-to-the-minute information on the case and the decision. A ruling could be announced June 9, June 16 or June 23. The court may also add possible decision days later this month.
Lambda Legal asked the court to strike down the Texas sodomy law for two reasons - first, that it is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy; and second, that by singling out gay people, it violates the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law. A victory on either or both claims will affect all 13 remaining sodomy laws in the nation and will be a powerful tool for securing equality for lesbians and gay men in all 50 states, according to Lambda Legal, which is lead counsel in the case.
Following is a partial listing of events planned for the day of a decision in the case:
Rally in West Hollywood on the day of the decision, at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and San Vicente Boulevards
(Local organizer contact: Ryan Gierach 323-650-2879 or 213-804-2785)
Rally in Atlanta at 6 p.m. on the day of the decision, at 10th and Piedmont
(Local organizer contact: Asha Leong, Lambda Legal, 404-897-1880)
Rally in Chicago at 7 p.m. on the day of the decision, at the corner of Halstead and Roscoe
(Local organizer contact: Chicago Anti-Bashing Network 773-878-3697)
New York
Rally in New York City on the night of the decision is at 7 p.m. at Stonewall Park (7th Ave/Christopher St)
(Local organizer contact Queers For Peace And Justice)
South Carolina
Informational meeting in Columbia at 7 p.m. on the day of the decision, at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center, 1108 Woodrow
(Local organizer contact: SC Gay and Lesbian Pride Movement, 803-771-7713)
Meeting in Charleston at 7 p.m. on the day of the decision, at the offices of the Alliance for Full Acceptance, 1818 Elsie Drive

(Local organizer contact: Roger Wedell, 214-521-6622)
Rally in Houston at 5 p.m. in front of City Hall, 901 Bagby St. in downtown
(Local organizer contact is Mitchell Katine at (713) 981-9595)
Press conference in Richmond at 3 p.m. on the day of the decision, at the Bell Tower at the Capitol in Richmond
Local organizer contact: Dyana Mason, Equality Virginia, 804-643-4816)
Washington, D.C.
Rally at 7 p.m. on the day of the decision, at DuPont Circle Park

For those that have HP servers – a quick heads up —
Windows 2012 servers that use HpCISSs2.sys become unresponsive typically every 3-7 days – Fides Tamen Quin – Site Home – TechNet Blogs:
Just a quick note out there on a specific issue we've been seeing lately. It is the really the only issue with Windows 2012 server hanging or becoming unresponsive that we've had up almost a year into the release of this OS.
On Windows 2012 running on HP servers that use the October 15th 2012 version of HpCISSs2.sys, those servers will run into an issue were we have an IO stall accessing the disk. This stall happens when we hit the HpCISSs2.sys and will never recover. The first time it happens the servers don't actually hang but that is when the traffic jam starts to backup. Meaning – someone can have a car accident block the highway 5 miles down the road. You wouldn't stop moving right away but eventually you're going to be stopped in the resulting line of traffic.
Some of the symptoms you may see is that the server will show you a grey screen instead of the logon option. You may not be able to RDP to the server but if you test ports such as 3389 135 445 with port query they will be open. Remote WMI queries may fail. Ping will work. File shares will not be accessible.
HP has documented this issue with HpCISSs2.sys on 2012 http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03793656&prodSeriesId=4091412
If you have that version of the driver, are running Windows 2012 and are running into this behavior I highly recommend following their action to rollback the driver to a previous version.
To get conclusive data that confirms this is the issue, a Kernel Memory dump is the best route. Since Servers are typically setup for a Kernel dump by default the only change that would be required is to setup the system to generate that dump on an NMI signal:
How to generate a complete crash dump file or a kernel crash dump file by using an NMI on a Windows-based system http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927069
Not having to get a Full memory dump and only needing a Kernel dump greatly reduces the resulting size of the dump file, which is becoming problematic when generating dumps on systems with a large amount of RAM

Brave Inca to win the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (13 March). Colm Murphy's reigning champion looked better than ever as he eased to victory at Leopardstown in December and can successfully defend his crown. Current race favourite Detroit City is impressive, but five-year-olds have a bad record in the race. Brave Inca will be a shorter price on the day.
Bolton to win the 'Premiership without the Big Four' market. Backing Bolton in every match has yielded a profit this season and they should be odds-on to finish ahead of Portsmouth, Tottenham and Everton. Take advantage.
West Indies to win the Cricket World Cup (starts 13 March). The hosts have been quietly building an impressive one-day side. In Chris Gayle they have a match-winning opening batsman and their bowling attack has become more disciplined. The Aussies are rightful 2-1 favourites, but with home advantage West Indies should not be four times the price.

u.s. history
posted by denise on .
why did the u.s. become invoved in world war 11?
Most of us believed that the U.S. became involved in WW II to protect ourselves and our allies from the ruthless tyrannical ambitions of the German and Japanese Empires. Germany was rapidly conquering Europe while Japan was expanding in the Pacific. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, then a U.S. territory, sparked our declaration of war against the Axis powers.
More cynical and pragmatic historians view our entry into the war as an economic move to protect our trade with western Europe and the far eastern Pacific islands.
what were the american strategy in world warII and how was it implemented by the armed forces?

Far Rockaway Cop In Seaford Shooting
Nassau County police sources told The Wave on Tuesday that they believe the federal agent who heroically foiled a Long Island pharmacy robbery was killed by friendly fire from a retired Nassau County police lieutenant and that the would-be robber was shot and killed by an off-duty NYPD officer assigned to the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway.
The off-duty Rockaway cop was identified by Nassau authorities as Joe Abria.
Sources say that John Capano, 51, an off-duty agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, was picking up cancer medicine for his elderly father when he got caught up in the stickup at Charlie's Family Pharmacy in Seaford, Long Island, on Saturday. Capano had planned to spend New Year's Eve with his wife, two children and ailing father after losing his mother to cancer just two weeks ago.
Sources on Monday provided a detailed description of what occurred both inside and outside the pharmacy, an event that left both Capano and the robber dead.
Capano came through the pharmacy's backdoor just seconds before James McGoey, 43, came through the front door and yelled, "This is a robbery — everybody get your hands up!"
After the shooting event, investigators discovered the realistic-looking black and silver handgun in McGoey's waistband was a pellet gun.
Officials say that McGoey had just been released from prison in August after serving a decade on robbery charges.
As Capano put his hands in the air, McGoey grabbed cash and prescription drugs and made for the front exit. But Capano crouched down in the next aisle and, hidden from McGoey's view, followed him, sources said.
When McGoey reached the front door, Capano popped up, yelling, "Police, stop!"
The thief seemed to be going for the gun in his waistband, witnesses told police, when Capano opened fire, shooting McGoey in his leg or hip.
The wounded robber burst through the door and made it several feet before collapsing.
Capano was standing over McGoey trying to subdue him when retired Nassau County police Lt. Chris Garaghty, 54, and off-duty NYPD cop joined the confrontation.
The duo came running from the deli next door, which Garaghty owns, after someone ran there for help.
Guns drawn, the duo yelled, "Police! Freeze!" As the retired lieutenant grabbed Capano and pulled him away from the fallen robber, a gun went off, sources said, blasting Capano.
When the agent fell, his gun still in his hand, the robber reached for Capano's weapon, sources said.
That move prompted Abria, who lives in Seaford, to fire the shot that investigators believe killed the burglar. McGoey died at the scene.
Capano died at Nassau University Medical Center.
The FBI and ATF are running ballistics tests as part of their investigation into the melee.
The working theory, officials say, is that Garaghty shot Capano.

News Release Article from
Archived - Minister Blaney highlights the 100th Anniversary of the Boundary Bay Port of Entry
Archived Content
Information identified as archived is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available.
The Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, today unveiled a plaque to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Boundary Bay port of entry (POE).
The first customs office was located in the home of Edward Theodore Calvert, who was sworn in to be the Inspector of Customs on August 18, 1914. Milestone anniversaries remind us how much our world has changed, and how the role of customs and immigration continues to evolve to ensure lasting security and prosperity.
The Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank the border services officers and support staff within CBSA, past and present, for their dedication, service and professionalism.
Quick Facts
- The first customs office was located near Raitt Road and Point Roberts Road (today, 12th Avenue and 56th Street)
- Records indicate that in June 1921, 600 cars entered Canada through the Boundary Bay POE. In June 2014, 107,400 vehicles were processed.
"Today we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Boundary Bay Port of Entry. This milestone provides an occasion for us to reflect on how this POE was established, and how far we have come. It is POEs such as Boundary Bay that have helped to to make the border faster and more efficient for law-abiding Canadians. I would like to thank those who have worked at this POE over the years who have supported the success of Boundary Bay in proudly protecting our Canadian borders."

The interactive map below presents the most recently available (real-time) indicative particle concentration data for the BLANkET stations distributed around the state. To see validated reference data for the Hobart, Launceston, and Devonport stations, and the parnership station at George Town, use the 'Air Pollution Data' link at the bottom of the menu at left.
Each BLANkET station's available data can be accessed via the menu to the left, or by clicking on the points of the map below. Use this link to access annual plots and 'most recent 30 day' plots of day averaged BLANkET data.
Air Quality data customer feedback survey - April 2014.
Please take a few minutes to complete our customer feedback survey. Thank you.
Click here to take the survey (hosted on an external website).
New, April 2015: - Survey results and our response can be seen in the document on this link.
Use your 'Refresh' or 'Reload' button on your browser (or press F5) to update the map.
Particle concentration data are listed on the map as "Station Abbreviation: (PM10, PM2.5)". The Station Abbreviation list is given on the map. Indicative particle concentrations are given in micrograms per cubic metre (µg m-3). Information about air quality standards is given below the map.
Click on a station location square on the map to obtain a current plot. Or use these in-text links to obtain a summary table of air quality at either the major stations or from the BLANkET network. Data plots are also accessible from these table pages.
Smoke will give a high PM2.5 signal. High PM10 levels without corresponding high PM2.5 levels arise from dust and/or sea-salt aerosols. Please see the important information about BLANkET data for more discussion of this. PM2.5 values below 5 µg m-3 signify very clear air. On a smoky winter's evening in Hobart or Launceston PM2.5 may be near 50 µg m-3 for several hours.
A '?' is given if data are not available for any reason or if a TEOM instrument reports a negative concentration. This can happen due to the evaporation of volatile compounds on the TEOM filter. Such events are usually of short duration. If at any station the instantaneous PM10 is over 50 µg m-3 or PM2.5 is over 25 µg m-3 the station listing will turn red. This does not signify a breach of air quality standards, but provides an indication of elevated particle levels.
The National Environmental Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure (known as the Air NEPM) stipulates air quality standards in Australia. For PM10 there is a 24-hour standard of 50 µg m-3 (50 millionth of a gram per cubic metre). That is, if PM10 levels measured by a reference instrument averaged over a calendar day exceeds 50 µg m-3, an exceedence of the standard is recorded. The Air NEPM stipulates that the reporting interval is the calendar day (midnight to midnight). For PM2.5, an advisory 24-hour (calendar day) reporting limit is set at 25 µg m-3. It is likely that this reporting limit will become a national standard in the future. Currently there are no national standards for PM10 or PM2.5 for intervals shorter than 24 hours.

Klingon High Council

|Official language(s)
In the fictional Star Trek universe the Klingon High Council (in Klingon tlhIngan yejquv) is the supreme ruling body of the Klingon Empire. The council meets at the Great Hall of the First City of the Klingon Empire on the planet Qo'noS (also known as Kronos in Federation standard).
The High Council is presided over by the Chancellor, and is composed of a loosely faction-based, informal cabinet. Prominent members are generally leaders of one of the various Houses of the Empire – most of the seats are hereditary and some are conferred on distinguished figures, as with the House of Lords, the exact number of council members is not known. The Chancellor sits in an elevated chair at the front of the room, and the other council members surround him in a semicircle. A large Klingon insignia hangs on the wall at the front of the room, which is located behind the council members.
The council directs the political, diplomatic, military and internal matters of state. The Chancellor is empowered to enter into treaties on behalf of the council and the people, and has general executive power, although he is considered a primus inter pares subordinate to the Emperor. They also provide overall strategic direction on military matters, but in practice tactical and logistical matters are left to the battlefield commanders.
The council is also the final Court of Appeal, deciding matters pertaining to the various Klingon Houses. One example would be granting dispensation to allow a woman to rule over a house if her husband died in unusual circumstances and they had no sons (DS9's "The House of Quark"). If one of the Houses falls and another makes a claim to the lands and property of the House, the council will judge the validity of the claim.
The council acts as all three branches of government - executive, legislative and judicial. For crimes committed against the Empire, the council can judge the guilt of an individual Klingon and his entire family. If the Klingon is found guilty of a crime, he and his entire family will suffer the consequences of the crime. For example, treason causes the family to lose their honor for seven generations.
It appears that the members of the council serve at the pleasure of the Chancellor. This is the reason that Worf's brother Kurn was granted a seat on the council after the 2367 civil war, and was later taken from Kurn when Worf refused Gowron's orders to turn against the Federation in 2372.
The Chancellor has, at various times, been informally referred to as "leader" of the High Council (TNG's "Unification I"). Formally, however, the role also carries the title of "Klingon supreme commander" (TNG's "Reunion"), which presumably means commander-in-chief of the military.
The means of choosing the Chancellor vary. One way would be challenging the Chancellor to a fight to the death. If the challenger was victorious, the old Chancellor would be dead, and the challenger would usually take the role of Chancellor for himself, or in rare cases bestow the role to another. If a Chancellor died of natural causes or not as a result of direct combat, an Arbiter of Succession would be named. The Arbiter would designate the strongest challengers, who would then fight each other to the death for the office. There is one known time when a Chancellor named his own successor - shortly after the Praxis explosion Chancellor Gorkon named his daughter Azetbur as Chancellor in the event of his death.
For at least 300 years prior to the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Klingon Empire had been ruled by the High Council. The various High Councils during this time had to deal with monumental events in the history of the Klingon race and the galaxy at large, such as first contact with the humans, years of armed conflict with the Federation, the explosion of Praxis, the Federation alliance, and the Dominion War.
The Emperor[edit]
Prior to the mid-21st century, an Emperor presided over the Klingon Empire. Whether the High Council existed or not is open to debate; as is what role, if any, the High Council played. The Klingon translation of Hamlet suggests that the Emperor from "First Among Equals" in Klingon politics - but this may not be the generally accepted view in the Star Trek universe. From about the mid 21st century to 2369, there was no Emperor.
In 2369, Kahless the Unforgettable apparently reappeared on the planet Boreth; upon which the original Kahless said he would one day return. It was later revealed that the monks living there had created a clone of Kahless because they felt Klingon society was on the decline, and that only Kahless could bring them back to their former glory. Though the deception was soon revealed, Worf felt that the clone could still play a valuable role in Klingon society. Worf managed to convince Gowron to accept Kahless as Emperor. Rather than serve as an absolute monarch, as previous emperors had done, the Emperor would be a spiritual figurehead of national identity, similar to the Japanese Emperor, while the actual power would still rest with the Chancellor and the High Council. The Klingon people were told not that this new Kahless was a clone, but that he was an heir to the original Kahless and the throne. Emperor Kahless II was installed soon afterwards.
Known Chancellors of the High Council[edit]
- Chancellor Mow'ga (2nd Empire; approximate Earth dates not known)
- Chancellor M'Rek (c. 2154)
- Chancellor Gorkon (?–2293) - Began the peace process with the Federation after the explosion of Praxis. Assassinated by Federation and Klingon officials opposed to the peace process.
- Chancellor Azetbur (2293–?) - The daughter of Gorkon, named Chancellor after Gorkon's assassination.
- Chancellor K'mpec (?–2367) - The longest serving Chancellor.
- Chancellor Gowron (2367–2375) - Killed in a duel with Worf. The council members wanted him to become Chancellor, but Worf proclaimed Martok the new Chancellor.
- Chancellor Martok (beginning 2375)

st: asclogit not converging
Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:55:38 +0000
I am using Stata MP 12.1.
1.I use an alternative specific conditional logit choice model with the following command.
asclogit achoice ratio_simulcast buyer_distance supply meanpv price_variability, case(caseid) alternatives(auction_code)
There are about 115962 cases with an average of 9 observations/units per case.
2.The moment I introduce another variable "number_of_centers" into this model as follows:
asclogit achoice ratio_simulcast buyer_distance supply meanpv price_variability number_of_centers, case(caseid) alternatives(auction_code)
The model stops converging. The number_of_centers variable is the total number of auction centers, and is a number between 1 and 40, different for each observation.
I tried various combinations, including standardizing the variable, normalizing the variable, etc, but the results never converge - I need help here--
3.---with iter(15) or iter(n) --- option however, I am able to retrieve the corresponding coefficients of all other variables. Is this the correct usage??
warm regards.

This was Brainerd — Dec. 9
20 years ago (1992)
Jim and Diane Runberg have a vested interest in the international relief effort in Somalia. Their son. As U.S. troops landed on Somalian soil, Joe Runberg may have marched among them. He is a Marine sergeant based out of Twenty-Nine Palms, California.
30 years ago (1982)
Don Dravis has coached Staples to three consecutive Class A state wrestling titles. If last night's 52-8 trouncing of Brainerd is any indication, the Cardinals are headed for four in a row. Staples had six pins. Only Brainerd wins were Bob Waytashek and Jim Caughey.
40 years ago (1972)
Inability to cope with the big man again spelled defeat for Coach Jerry Vanek's Warriors, who fell apart in the final canto to lose 64-48 to Staples. The Cardinals only outscored Brainerd 25-23 in field goals, but hit 12 of 21 free throws to Brainerd's 2 of 9.

If familiarity breeds contempt, a small Pequot Lakes basketball team should hold no love for this year's Warriors. Paced by little Bill Smith's 22 points, Brainerd submerged Pequot by a score of 52-9. Little was learned about Warrior prospects; it was too easy.

Adopted White Parents Who Killed Hana Williams May Have Read Book For Guidance
These parents had not business adopting this child just as the other couple in the video. There's not one book that should give an excuse for beating and allowing your child to die outside in the cold. They were purely led by the enemy and they shall pay for this dearly. It's very interesting that the two girls in both cases in the video happened to be black and ultimately killed.

We are not sure why they would do this to this child except for pure evil and hatred. May God rest the soul of the young girl.
A Washington couple was arrested on suspicion they abused their adopted daughter to death.
Larry P. Williams and Carri D. Williams allegedly left their 13-year-old daughter, Hana, naked and outside on a cold rainy day as a punishment, KVAL-TV reported.
According to court documents, the teen was systematically beaten, starved, forced to shower outside, sleep in a barn and use an outdoor toilet as punishment for being "rebellious".

Arnold Kling writes
The prices of imported intermediate inputs are being handled incorrectly. When you underestimate the rate of price decline, you also under-estimate the real amount being supplied. And because these are imported intermediate goods, the error is not neutral with respect to U.S. output.
Here is the in a simple numerical example.
Suppose in 2007 the US imported $100 of steel and made $200 of cars with 4 workers. The US added $100 worth of value with 4 workers. So each workers productivity is $25
In 2009 the US imported $50 of steel and made $150 of cars with 3 workers. Now the US is tripling the value of its imports. The US has a value-add of $100 with 3 workers. So each workers productivity is $33.
A productivity boom of 50%. GDP stays the same with fewer workers. This is part of our current problems.
But wait Mandel says, we are doing it wrong. The actual amount of steel didn't drop in half. Its just that the price of steel fell. If price had remained constant we would have imported $75 worth of steel, had $75 of value add and worker productivity would be stuck at $25.
Moreover, US GDP value-add would have declined to $75 so our GDP would have shrank.
This is the wrong way to look at it. It doesn't matter what the actual raw steel coming in was, it matters what we paid for the steel. Why?
Well because
- You are still getting more car per worker which makes the workers more valuable and hence more desirable to hire
- The GDP of the US is still the difference between what we create minus what the foreign imports cost.
Now you might argue that these price drops are temporary and then productivity will decline. That is a fine case. However, to the extent they are permanent – as is probably the case in electronics components – it's a real gain.
Suppose that instead of this being a price drop in foreign steel it was a price drop in domestic steel from some fancy new steel making process. What difference would it make to US autoworkers? They are still getting the same good at a lower price. They are still able to produce more value per hour of work.
In other words improvements in the terms of trade act like a boost in productivity. Indeed, that's the whole point of trade.
Now, Noah Smith pointed me to a paper that disputed this, which I haven't read and may make some important points but this is the standard view and I didn't pick up on anything in Mandel that disputed this.

(Generic versions may still be available.)
Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate for injection) must be used with concurrent leucovorin to avoid potentially serious or life-threatening complications including bone marrow suppression, oral and gastrointestinal mucosal ulceration, and renal and hepatic dysfunction. Leucovorin therapy must extend for 72 hours past the last dose of Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) . Patients should be informed that failure to take the recommended dose and duration of leucovorin can lead to fatal toxicity. Patients should be closely monitored for the development of serious hematologic adverse reactions (see PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Trimetrexate has been shown to be fetotoxic and teratogenic in rats and rabbits. Rats administered 1.5 and 2.5 mg/kg/day intravenously on gestational days 6-15 showed substantial postimplantation loss and severe inhibition of maternal weight gain. Trimetrexate administered intravenously to rats at 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg/day on gestational days 6-15 retarded normal fetal development and was teratogenic. Rabbits administered trimetrexate intravenously at daily doses of 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg/day on gestational days 6-18 resulted in significant maternal and fetal toxicity. In rabbits, trimetrexate at 0.1 mg/kg/day was teratogenic in the absence of significant maternal toxicity. These effects were observed using doses 1/20 to 1/2 the equivalent human therapeutic dose based on a mg/m2 basis. Teratogenic effects included skeletal, visceral, ocular, and cardiovascular abnormalities. If Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant.
Patients receiving Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate for injection) may experience severe hematologic, hepatic, renal, and gastrointestinal toxicities. Caution should be used in treating patients with impaired hematologic, renal, or hepatic function. Patients who require concomitant therapy with nephrotoxic, myelosuppressive, or hepatotoxic drugs should be treated with Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) at the discretion of the physician and monitored carefully. To allow for full therapeutic doses of Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) , treatment with zidovudine should be discontinued during Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) therapy.
Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) -associated myelosuppression, stomatitis, and gastrointestinal toxicities generally can be ameliorated by adjusting the dose of leucovorin. Mild elevations in transaminases and alkaline phosphatase have been observed with Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) administration and are usually not cause for modification of Neutrexin therapy (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Seizures have been reported rarely ( < 1%) in AIDS patients receiving Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) ; however, a causal relationship has not been established. Trimetrexate is a known inhibitor of histamine metabolism. Hypersensitivity/allergic type reactions including but not limited to rash, chills/rigors, fever, diaphoresis and dypsnea have occurred with trimetrexate primarily when it is administered as a bolus infusion or at doses higher than those recommended for PCP, and most frequently in combination with 5FU and leucovorin. In rare cases, anaphylactoid reactions, including acute hypotension and loss of consciousness have occurred. Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) infusion should be permanently discontinued in all patients with severe hypersensitivity reactions. Epinephrine should be available for treatment of acute allergic symptoms.
Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) has not been evaluated clinically for the treatment of concurrent pulmonary conditions such as bacterial, viral, or fungal pneumonia or mycobacterial diseases. In vitro activity has been observed against Toxoplasma gondii, Mycobacterium avium complex, gram positive cocci, and gram negative rods. If clinical deterioration is observed in patients, they should be carefully evaluated for other possible causes of pulmonary disease and treated with additional agents as appropriate.
Laboratory Tests
Patients receiving Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) with leucovorin protection should be seen frequently by a physician. Blood tests to assess the following parameters should be performed at least twice a week during therapy: hematology (absolute neutrophil counts [ANC], platelets), renal function (serum creatinine, BUN), and hepatic function (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase).
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenesis: Long term studies in animals to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of trimetrexate have not been performed.
Mutagenesis: Trimetrexate was not mutagenic when tested using the standard Ames Salmonella mutagenicity assay with and without metabolic activation. Trimetrexate did not induce mutations in Chinese hamster lung cells or sister-chromatid exchange in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Trimetrexate did induce an increase in the chromosomal aberration frequency of cultured Chinese hamster lung cells; however, trimetrexate showed no clastogenic activity in a mouse micronucleus assay.
Impairment of fertility: No studies have been conducted to evaluate the potential of trimetrexate to impair fertility. However, during standard toxicity studies conducted in mice and rats, degeneration of the testes and spermatocytes including the arrest of spermatogenesis was observed.
Pregnancy, Teratogenic Effects
See WARNINGS.
Pregnancy Category D
Nursing Mothers
It is not known if trimetrexate is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from trimetrexate, it is recommended that breast feeding be discontinued if the mother is treated with Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) .
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of Neutrexin (trimetrexate glucuronate inj) for the treatment of histologically confirmed PCP has not been established for patients under 18 years of age. Two children, ages 15 months and 9 months, were treated with trimetrexate and leucovorin using a dose of 45 mg/m2 of trimetrexate per day for 21 days and 20 mg/m2 of leucovorin every 6 hours for 24 days. There were no serious or unexpected adverse effects.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a minor in Psychology, and I have spent the vast majority of my adult life taking care of children as a nanny. My jewelry journey began when I was a tiny little girl. I've been obsessed with jewelry as long as I can remember. When I was very small, I would sneak into my Gram's bathroom and dig in her jewelry box admiring her treasures. Anytime I was expected to sit still, I was always allowed to play with her rings to keep me busy. I have always loved the process of creation. I am the daughter of the most wonderful and talented woman, who truly could do anything she set her mind to. Unfortunately I lost my mom to complications after a car accident in 2013. After her accident I had to take some time off from the jewelry business to get my head straight from the devastating blow. My mother was my soulmate. She has inspired me in so many ways over the years and it is to her that I owe the blessings of confidence and capability in my adult life. It has been more of a struggle than I can put into words for me to face a life without her, but with the lessons she has taught me and the strength I learned from watching her face every obstacle without a flinch, I am beginning to find my way again.
It took me a while to rejoin the Etsy community after my loss, as I tend to be a rather private person, but I feel that Etsy and Handmade are about sharing the humanity behind every day and special objects. I feel a strong desire for my work to be about more than just jewelry, but about the handmade aesthetic, and therefore I try to give an honest and heartfelt account of what drives and inspires me- so that my customers can get a real feel for the person who's hands fashioned their new treasures. In that respect it has taken some courage to finally face the world by reopening EO Jewelry- but I am excited to get back to all that I love about making jewelry for all of my wonderful customers. I love creating unique custom items for special people, I adore getting emails and earning feedback from my happy customers, and I am proud to call myself an Etsian as Etsy has afforded me more opportunities to connect with people in a creative and meaningful way than would have ever otherwise been possible. I pride myself in providing the very best customer service, as I believe that handmade is about more than just objects, but should be a personal and meaningful experience.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

Hi I'm Rae, I do it all here at EO! I make each piece of jewelry, photograph it, list it, and when someone purchases it, I wrap it carefully and make sure it gets to it's destination. I hope you enjoy my jewelry as much as I enjoy making it!

Additional policies and FAQs
PAYMENT: For custom orders, I require a deposit for 1/2 the price of the item before I begin working, the remainder of the money will be due before I ship. I will be happy to readjust the piece, or refund your money in the event that you are not happy with the end result. I am happy to hold unpaid custom items for one month, however if you do not pay for your custom order in full after one month, I reserve the right to list it for sale in my shop.
TURN AROUND: Usually I am pretty fast! However sometimes I have to order components for custom work, which means I must wait for supplies to arrive. If I have everything in stock, you should receive your item within two weeks of having ordered it; however if you are concerned about turn around time, please ask me and I will tell you the specifics for your order.
If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them!
