The Group
We're turning the corner into fall and it seems to me 2009 was a fast summer. I sprained my ankle hiking with one group at the beginning of it and as the chill infiltrates the air as many mornings as not when I wake up it's still x@#$$% swollen. I lived at MacDowell for a month this summer with a strangely shifting group. There were people I met at the end of their stay – and others began to arrive in the last week I was there and you could see the group of us who had been there all month squirming as to whether to know these people and most of us once we noticed we were doing this began to let them in and suddenly "we" were gone, back in "our own" lives which are still not largely alone except for example now sitting in a mattress in my friend's front room while she's out walking her dog. I have a home but I basically haven't been there all summer and for this last little islet of time I'm hopping from friend's home to the next which is more private than public since my friend here for example, Jocelyn, goes to work. I have to work to see the person I'm staying with since they have a schedule and it pre-existed before I wound into town. What I'm getting to though is the profound experience I just had in Seattle last week. A group of us, poets, were invited to "play" with the Henry, the museum/gallery on the campus of the University of Washington. What this meant outside of the more conventional readings we did each night of the weekend, and the screenings of films of famous (Ashbery, Schuyler, Roethke, Guest, Wieners) poets reading was to imagine the Henry re-written and reinhabited by us, purveyors and emitters, and curators of poetry. So we began in one space, a Robert Irwin piece that admittedly I wasn't so inspired by, blueness and fencing cordoning off a space outside near the George Washington statue I now realize I never looked at directly, he was just there awakening occasional thoughts like Oh . . . Washington is named after GEORGE Washington, and using the statue as a way to know I was approaching the Henry. Inside the Irwin space we were each imagining an activity that could be accomplished here publicly. I had a thought and dictated it to Tara one of the three transcribers who were lurking for that purpose, to take down our ideas which in itself was a nice experience, to have it and be free of it like that, but mostly I felt like I was at recess which maybe was nice in kindergarten but by the time I got to catholic school was hell. And blue, or playful or not the Irwin piece brought up the memory, the sensation of a time and I was not grateful. But after that the next day we were presented with the notion of rewriting the texts of the museum, the wall text, the introductory hello text you get in the lobby in newsprint with colored photographs and what about the texts that accompany individual pieces and what would you say to the guard for instance if you could share one thing with him about the work. I took the tack of following one work all the way in – preparing you for it in the lobby, rewriting what it said on the wall about the two Chinese video artists who make work about work or their culture shifting intrinsically in response to China's new identity in global culture. Do we have to think about that I thought. Are artists compelled to discuss these "issues" so overtly in their work, or because they don't are they handing props to critics and what if we don't agree to read them that way. What if we act instead like a poking friend in the screening – I like her bangs, is a poet just an idiot in my rendition, or an anchorperson, or someone who wants to perform a rocky horror picture show duplication of the action on the screen – how provisional can an intervention in a museum be was my response, setting the possibilities loosely and widely really for the fun of it. The things any of us thought didn't have to happen, but I recalled any time the wall text busted out in a museum in my memory: "Jackson Pollock was such a bad alcoholic when he was working on 'blue poles' that his friends had to hold him up" has stayed with me so profoundly that it remade what kind of speaking instrument an institution could be. The last day we imagined the Henry architecturally. How would you use these corners, elevators, outdoor lunch spots, entire structure poetically. The Henry had handed us a job for the weekend essentially. I remember when I first got a dog, a pit bull, I began to read about the pit and heard the pit described as a dog that likes to work. Other dogs had jobs, too, some shepherding, some catching rats. What could a Chihuahua's job be. What got proposed in this dreamy weekend among ten poets at the Henry was that if we had a space to work with we had an excess of ideas which unfolded what was happening in there to a froth of reinterpretation. It was a little bit like doing homework with others and being handed a new three dimensional notebook for instance like when Robert Smithson was given the plans for the Dallas Fort Worth airport and invited to think how sculpture might become part of that space. The airport didn't use his plan but Smithson's art and where it belonged was forever changed. I'd like to change the Henry, one of my proposals was they identify a poetry year, 2011 sounds good, in which poetic installations are part of the plan or the art's neighbors or the art itself. The one part I probably haven't made clear or can't is the literal feeling of the enterprise from our weird residence in university dorms, our cafeteria breakfasts and lunches, and the silent trawling around the museum with notebooks and the whispered what are you doing and the joyous party at the end of it all at our publisher's pad. It was utopian work. The poetry weekend was an odd job and a good one. I remember years ago reading how in Hindu culture work, all work was symbolic, planting a seed, begging, running for president. Now that might be a way to justify castes: we're all in this together, Dude, but I draw some contradictory and actual beauty out of the experience of taking something on – an art institution, as a group, and asking ourselves, as poets, how would we rewrite this. And we did and we could and I'm suspecting our new infiltrations into our former lives will be changed. And so will fall. Our territory feels wide and ready for the writing.

Barrett, Flynn pressure legislators to act on gun violence
As an assortment of confiscated assault weapons lay on a table nearby, Mayor Tom Barrett and Police Chief Edward Flynn on Thursday kept up the pressure on elected officials - both on the state and federal level - to take action to address gun violence.
"Mass murder may never be a curable event," Flynn said at a news conference at police headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. "Gun violence may not be a curable event in the aggregate. But we can make it harder to commit mass murder. We can make it harder for criminals to procure firearms to continue their deadly ways."
Flynn said that, since 2008, his officers had seized 10,680 firearms in the city - 2,200 of which were rifles and 264 classified as military-style assault weapons.
Over that same period, he said, 28 children younger than 13 had been shot on the streets of Milwaukee. This year alone, there have been 86 homicides, 69 of which were committed with firearms. And in the last two years, there have been more than 1,000 nonfatal shootings in Milwaukee, he said.
Both Barrett and Flynn said that in the wake of the horrible tragedy in Newtown, Conn., it is time for legislators on the state and federal level to enact laws that respect the Second Amendment but address specific issues involving weapons.
Flynn said he had been quoted in a newspaper article some time ago that he couldn't believe there was any event horrifying enough to prompt Congress to act.
"Maybe 20 babies is it," Flynn said of the 20 children who were murdered last Friday in Connecticut. "Just maybe."
Flynn said citizens wanted to see what he called "intelligent gun control."
"It's time for craven legislators to stop hiding behind their metal detectors and their police force in Congress, and join the rest of Americans who are vulnerable to gun violence by assisting them in making those first important steps to address it. It requires bipartisanship. It requires discussion."
Flynn also lambasted the National Rifle Association, whose leaders are planning to hold a news conference Friday in Washington, D.C. It will be the NRA's first extensive statement since the tragedy in Newtown.
"They have never taken a public policy position that truly supported law enforcement," Flynn said. "They are a powerful, small, well-funded lobby group. That's all they are."
Flynn predicted that NRA leaders would offer their condolences to the victims of the Newtown murders, "and start talking about rights again."
Barrett reiterated his position on gun-control measures: Institute a mandatory background check on all gun sales; ban military-style assault weapons with high-capacity magazines; prevent criminals classified as habitual from getting a concealed-carry permit; and close loopholes that allow some people with criminal records, facing domestic violence orders or have been in court for mental health issues to buy weapons online and at gun shows. Barrett also wants to ban so-called straw purchases, in which a person buys a weapon for someone with a criminal record.
Flynn said the nation's big-city police chiefs also have a wish list for new gun laws: a ban on assault weapons, stiffer penalties for possession of illegal firearms, a ban on the Internet sale of ammunition and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
"We recognize there are millions of weapons in the hands of Americans," Flynn said. "We are challenged by firearms that are stolen. But that does not excuse inaction and pleas of helplessness."
Barrett and Flynn said they favored a two-pronged approach, with new state laws that will address acts of violence on Wisconsin streets, and new federal laws that will regulate the kinds of weapons used to commit mass murder.
The two were joined by Rep. Jon Richards (D-Milwaukee), who said he hoped a bipartisan coalition in Madison will come up with a bill to require mandatory background checks on all weapon sales.
Flynn also addressed the issues of people who are suffering from mental illness. Various measures have been suggested that would limit the ability of those who have been adjudicated for mental health problems to obtain weapons.
The problem, Flynn said, is that society has dropped a community-based approach to treating those with mental illness and has delegated mental illness to the criminal justice system.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Roy Halladay demonstrated why he just picked up his fourth All-Star invitation.
Halladay pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings, Russ Adams and Eric Hinske homered, and the Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Halladay (11-2) scattered six hits in a dominant performance two days after he was one of five Blue Jays named to the American League All-Star team. He struck out four and walked two while winning his third straight start.
"That was as strong as I've seen him all year," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "That's been a tough team on him and it's a tough place to pitch."
Halladay began the night with a 3-4 record and 6.40 ERA in 13 career appearances against Texas. The last time he pitched in Arlington was last July 8, and he sustained a fractured left tibia on a batted ball by Texas' Kevin Mench, ending Halladay's season.
"I didn't think about last year," Halladay said. "I never put a lot of stock in thinking about coming back here."
Halladay was able to consistently get ahead of the Rangers.
"I was throwing strikes, trying to make pitches," Halladay said.
All-Star B.J. Ryan struggled to record four outs for his 23rd save in 24 chances to finish off a rare Blue Jays win over the Rangers.
He gave up an RBI single to Ian Kinsler in the ninth inning to make it 3-1. With two outs Rod Barajas struck out, but the ball got past catcher Bengie Molina on a wild pitch to allow Mark DeRosa to score and Barajas to reach first following an 11-pitch at bat.
Ryan, whose streak of 18 1/3 scoreless innings ended, got Gary Matthews Jr. to fly out with the tying run on third base to end the game.
"He found a way to get it done," Halladay said of Ryan. "It shows a lot about him. He had maybe not his best stuff but he was able to have a tough inning and still get out of it."
The Blue Jays had lost 15 of their previous 18 meetings with Texas, 10 of 12 in Arlington.
Halladay prevailed over Rangers rookie left-hander John Koronka, who allowed three runs and six hits in eight innings.
Koronka (6-5) had a difficult assignment against an offense that began the night leading the majors in batting average (.297), slugging percentage (.485), hits and total bases and had a major league-high .316 batting average against left-handers.
"It's a tough lineup," Koronka said. "You can't just pitch away. You've got to work in and out against them."
The Blue Jays picked up a game in the AL East on the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, both of whom lost earlier Tuesday. Toronto trails division-leading Boston by four games and is virtually tied with the second-place Yankees.
For the second straight night, the Blue Jays had problems with a finesse left-hander. On Monday night, John Rheinecker allowed one run and five hits in seven innings of a 6-1 Texas victory.
Koronka was perfect over the first four innings, getting nine outs on fly balls over that span before Shea Hillenbrand collected Toronto's first hit with a one-out single in the fifth.
Hillenbrand went to second on a wild pitch, then tried to score on Aaron Hill's single. But Rangers left fielder Jerry Hairston Jr.'s throw to the plate was perfect, and catcher Barajas was waiting with the ball for an easy tag on Hillenbrand.
Toronto broke through in the sixth to take a 2-0 lead on Adams' one-out homer and Frank Catalanotto's RBI single.
Meanwhile, Halladay allowed three hits during the first five innings, including a single by Michael Young in the fourth, Young's 1,000th major league hit.
"Halladay wasn't just picking on us," Rangers manager Buck Showalter said. "He's one of the best pitchers in baseball."
Hinske's leadoff homer in the eighth stretched Toronto's lead to 3-0.
- Rain delayed the game's first pitch for one hour and 38 minutes.
- Halladay's 11 victories ties him with Tom Glavine of the New York Mets for the major league lead.
- Young reached 1,000 hits faster than any player in Rangers history, accomplishing the feat in 827 games. Buddy Bell reached the milestone in 869 games.
- Texas RHP Wes Littleton made his major league debut in the ninth.

This Week in Anti-Rape Fashion: A 'Life-Saving Nail Polish'
Posted on Aug 26, 2014
Undercover Colors, a nail polish designed to change a drink's color when it contains so-called date-rape drugs, is really nothing more than another item in a long list of products that shift responsibility from the rapist to the rape victim. And while it may seem like a savvy preventive measure, it's seriously time to stop pouring resources into developing fun, stylish anti-rape products for victims to prevent their own assault. As Jessica Valenti at The Guardian ponders in a recent column, "Why is it easier to invent anti-rape nail polish than find a way to stop rapists?"
For a hilarious take on the sort of "common but misplaced advice" Valenti is talking about, watch this "Daily Show" clip we posted a few months ago: 'The Daily Show': Women Just Spend Their Whole Day Navigating a Course of Sexual Menace.

Quick review on cases:
I like the look and feel of the Belkin Grip Candy on my White iphone. The back looks much nicer than the sides and front lip (which end up looking gray). Actually, the sides are gray, which is ugly imo. I don't know why they went with that color because the rest of the case is beautiful (although a little feminine if you are insecure about that).
The buttons lose a little bit of feedback, but aren't bad.
Also doesn't add much thickness to the phone. Feels approx. the same, with a small 2-3mm lip. The satin feel is very nice.
I didn't like the Speck much for some reason, besides owning it for my 3GS. My 3GS speck case scratched the crap out of my phone over time due to dust/debris rubbing between the case and the phone, and the design hasn't changed much for the iphone 5 case besides little cutouts in the inside rubber. So I am hesitant about the speck for long-term use. It also doesn't look as nice IMO.
However, the Speck has SPECTACULAR button feedback. I would even say it amplifies and improves the button presses on the iphone 5 (which don't feel as nice as the iphone 4 imo).
The Speck is also harder to put on and take off, and I worry about scratching the phone when you do so. My 3GS speck as broke after 1 year when I was taking it off.

Helixate FS
Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in 20 patients with severe hemophilia A in North America. In this comparative pharmacokinetic study, Helixate FS (antihemophilic factor (recombinant)) was shown to be similar to its predecessor product HELIXATE. Mean FVIII recovery measured 10 minutes following infusion was 2.1 ± 0.3 %/IU/kg for Helixate FS (antihemophilic factor (recombinant)) and 2.4 ± 0.7 %/IU/kg for HELIXATE. The two recoveries were not statistically different (confidence interval 0.815–1.01). The mean biological half-life of recombinant FVIII formulated with sucrose (rFVIII-FS) is similar to HELIXATE with a mean of approximately 13 hours, which has previously been shown to be similar to plasma-derived Antihemophilic Factor (AHF). The activated partial thromboplastin time shortened appropriately with both rFVIII and rFVIII-FS. The recovery and half-life data for rFVIII-FS were unchanged after 24 weeks of exclusive treatment indicating continued efficacy and no evidence of FVIII inhibition. The mean FVIII recovery measured 10 minutes following a dose of rFVIII-FS in 37 patients (after 24 weeks of treatment with rFVIII-FS) was 2.1%/IU/kg, which was unchanged from FVIII recovery determined at baseline and at weeks 4 and 12.
Seventy-one patients with severe hemophilia A, ages 12–59, who had been previously treated with other recombinant and with plasma-derived AHF products, were enrolled in 6-month studies of home therapy with rFVIII-FS in Europe and North America. A total of 3995 infusions have been administered under this portion of the study, or 7.4 million units of rFVIII-FS. Treatment of 659 bleeding episodes during the study period required 951 infusions of rFVIII-FS. The majority of bleeding episodes (89.5%) were treated successfully with one or two infusions, using a mean dosage of approximately 28 IU/kg per treatment infusion. Regularly scheduled treatment accounted for 76% of infusions administered on study. Nine patients have received rFVIII-FS on 11 occasions for surgical procedures. The procedures included removal of a brain tumor, two total knee replacements, two joint synovectomies (one with Achilles tendon lengthening), two circumcisions, a hernia repair, and three teeth extractions. Hemostasis was satisfactory in all cases.
In clinical studies, Helixate FS (antihemophilic factor (recombinant)) has been used in the treatment of bleeding episodes in previously untreated patients (PUPs) and minimally treated (MTP) pediatric patients. In ongoing studies, 61 PUPs/MTPs have been treated with Helixate FS (antihemophilic factor (recombinant)) . Bleeding episodes were treated effectively with one or two infusions of rFVIII-FS. Ten patients have developed inhibitors. In these trials, approximately half of the patients have achieved 20 or more exposure days, and the incidence of inhibitor formation (15%) is consistent with that observed in other pediatric studies using plasma-derived and recombinant factor VIII products.2-5

Democrat Mark Dayton begins the formal transition to the governor's office today. He's scheduled to meet with Governor Pawlenty today and will hold a news conference with Pawlenty today.
For Dayton, the hard part begins. He has to come up with a way to balance a $6.2 billion budget deficit and restore confidence in a public worried about the economy. An adviser and long-time friend told MPR News that he's confident Dayton has the "guts" to do it. Another, who now works for the MN Chamber, says Dayton's retailing family instincts will show he'll work to get great value out of every tax dollar.
Charlie Weaver, the head of the Minnesota Business Partnership, wrote an op-ed calling on Dayton and the Legislature to start working with the business community to start working on shared goals.
The Star Tribune says Dayton's style will be different than current Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
On Wednesday Dayton reached out to the GOP on budget issues.
Dayton says he'll start assembling his administration in the coming days. Dayton says he'll hire his Chief of Staff in the next day or so.
Here's some video of Dayton's victory speech.
The State Canvassing Board certified the election on Wednesday.
Emmer conceded the race to Dayton from his home in Delano. You can listen to Emmer's concession speech here.
Emmer decided to waive the recount so Dayton could get the election certificate signed. It means the historical record will show the Nov. 2nd night totals not the recount totals.
Under the Dome
House DFL leadership will announce some staff changes today. DFL House Minority Leader Paul Thissen is expected to announce Carrie Lucking and Zach Rodvold, who worked for Tarryl Clark's unsuccessful campaign for Congress, will join the staff. Andrew Wittenborg and Sean Rahn have been let go.
Gov. Pawlenty says more schools are joining Q-Comp, the state's merit pay program for teachers.
The House passed the DREAM Act but it appears doomed in the Senate.
Senate leaders are set to begin the debate on the tax cuts.
DFL Sen. Al Franken is unhappy with the tax deal.
Medtronic gets a U.S. subpoena on a brain stimulator.
Despite the campaign rhetoric, the GOP is hiring lobbyists as staffers.
GOP Rep. John Kline says his top priority is jobs. Kline is he incoming chair of the House Education and Labor Workforce Committee.
Party Politics
MN Progressive Project says they're hearing DFL Party Chair Brian Melendez won't seek another term. The blogger doesn't say whether he contacted Melendez on the matter.
Pawlenty for Prez Watch
A poll in Minnesota shows President Obama leading all possible 2012 GOP candidates. Pawlenty's approval ratings are at 43%. Romney fares better against Obama than Pawlenty does.
Pawlenty and other 2012 hopefuls line up against a nuclear treaty that President Obama is backing.

Bills for long-term care in old age are to be capped at £75,000 in England, in a £1 billion move to be funded by dragging more people into the inheritance tax net, it was announced today.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the House of Commons that the "historic" reforms would save thousands of people from having to sell their family home to pay for care.
But campaigners voiced disappointment at the level of the cap - more than double the £35,000 recommended by the independent Dilnot Commission in 2011.
And thousands more will be hit with inheritance tax bills because of a three-year extension from 2015/16 of the freeze in the £325,000 threshold - £650,000 for couples - at which it kicks in at 40 per cent. The move effectively means abandoning the Conservatives' general election campaign pledge to raise the threshold to £1 million.
Alongside the cap, the Health Secretary announced a large rise in the asset threshold beneath which people will receive means-tested Government support for care bills. Currently £23,250, that is set to rise to £123,000.
Taken together, Mr Hunt said the measures, to be introduced through the Care and Support Bill and come into effect in April 2017, will benefit around 100,000 people annually who would not receive support under the current system. Certainty about the maximum bill they may face will allow everyone to buy insurance to protect them against the possibility of care costs.
"We need to become a society where people prepare and plan for their social care costs as much as they prepare and plan for their pension," Mr Hunt told MPs. "Sadly, this is an issue that governments of all colours have long failed to tackle.
"Whilst there are many other things that need to be done to prepare for an ageing population, these reforms do herald a historic change in the way that care and support is funded in this country.
"Economic circumstances are challenging but these commitments demonstrate our determination to help people who have worked hard, saved and done the right thing to prepare for the uncertain hand that fate deals all of us in old age.
"By introducing these reforms within the timescales and thresholds set out, they will also be sustainable and consistent with our overriding priority to reduce the deficit inherited from the last government.
"We want our country to be one of the best places in the world to grow old. These plans will give certainty and peace of mind about the cost of care, making sure we can all get the support we need without facing unlimited costs."
Mr Hunt also announced a lower cap on costs for people who develop care needs before retirement age, as well as free care for those who have needs when they turn 18.
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham welcomed elements of today's announcement as an improvement on the current "cruel lottery" in the care system.
But he denounced the overall package as "modest" and "meek", telling MPs: "This is a step forward, but it is a faltering one... Vulnerable people will still face rising care charges and homes will still be lost."
Andrew Dilnot, whose report recommended a cap of between £25,000 and £50,000, said he was disappointed by the Government's proposal of a lower level, but did not think it would undermine his system. The proposed £75,000 cap from 2017 equates to £61,000 at 2011 prices, he pointed out.
"It is higher than we would have wanted - £11,000 higher than the top end of our range - and I regret that but I recognise that the public finances are in a pretty tricky state," Mr Dilnot told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"It doesn't seem to me that it is so different from what we wanted as to radically transform the basis of the system."
The think-tank Demos warned that around 120,000 pensioners a year will lose out because of ministers' decision not to stick to Dilnot's preferred cap level.
Mr Hunt's plans will benefit 16 per cent of over-65s compared with 37 per cent who would have gained from a £35,000 cap, said Demos deputy director Claudia Wood, who said the £75,000 level was "unambitious, miserly, and will do little to solve one of the most vital social problems facing our generation".
Ms Wood added: "A cap of £75,000 means that the majority of people will still be paying just as much on their social care as they would have before the cap."
The National Pensioners Convention (NPC) described the reforms as "about as credible as a Findus lasagne".
NPC general secretary Dot Gibson said: "Setting a lifetime cap on care costs of £75,000 will help just 10 per cent of those needing care, whilst the majority will be left to struggle on with a third-rate service."
Kevin White, head of financial planning at financial consultancy DeVere UK, said up to four million middle-class Britons would be affected by the inheritance tax freeze, adding: "People are, rightly, angered by this decision, not only because the Government has broken another promise to the electorate, but because the measure doesn't support that very human instinct of wanting to pass on untaxed assets to loved ones."
But Stephen Gay, the Association of British Insurers' director of life, savings and protection, said: "This is potentially another positive step forward in tackling the challenges of an ageing society. The cap and the higher means test give people greater certainty and will enable them to plan ahead for later life."
At present, around one in 10 people have care costs of over £100,000 in old age, while one in five pay nothing at all.

i would be worried that i would knock those tweeters off. i just mounter mine in the spot provided in the doors by the handle....
I really like the location you chose to put those tweaters. That was a good choise. I need to decide if I still want to keep my car and do some thing like those front speakers you have.
Sorry to hear about the amp too bro. That sucks.
How did the dynomat help the over all comfort of the car? Is it like night and day?
The dynamat difference was not night and day, but it was very noticable. Its' still a loud car, but maybe only half as loud now.
i cant wait
I really liked the sound quality that was produced with the speakers and amp...very impressive just for a video..almost felt like i was there with you.
I reinstalled the amp in the amp rack.. and the noise is BACK!! I'll have another video later proving it.
The only difference? The amp is upright instead of sitting flat?? All the exact same connections were used.
Thats weird that it wont do it just sitting there unmounted but when you put it back on the amp rack it starts, the only thing i could think of is that the amp rack is picking up some sort of frequecy from the cars chasis? Try grounding the amp rack is self and see if it goes away, just a thought.
I'm also having ****ty luck with my stereo system lol i just blew my old earthquake D2 lastnight, i loved that amp. now i have to get it repaired
Do you hit up any meets around here? or know of some clubs for scoobies?

SO stoked so far.. The amp has not made a noise all day, so I'm going to close everything up for now. If it makes a noise again I'll play with the RCA input connection a bit to see if thats the issue.
On to my experience today:
The McIntosh MC427
The amp totally blew me away. It was far louder than I ever expected. The gains are probably half way (I know, way too high), and I can go to Alpine 9887 volume of 25 with crystal clarity. I took it to 30 with crystal clarity also. At 30, it is way too loud like a club, and has to be bad for my ears. I will probably trim down the gains next to get a bit more comfortable.
Crossover setting for front stage on Alpine deck: 80Hz HP with 18dB slope. All amp controls are disabled/off
The CDT Classics with upgraded DW25 tweets
Mixed feelings about these, although I have done NO tuning yet. All EQ is OFF right now. The vocals, midrange is fantastic. They dont have huge bass, but thats why I'll be adding the 10W6 sub in a few days. They were plenty clean down to 80Hz with no rattles or distortion. The tweets are a different story, they don't sound good at all so far. First off, my aiming is terrible. Having the tweets aim at the opposite persons head is way too bright and harsh. (I have my passive crossovers set flat with no attenuation yet, I can go -3dB jumper later if I want to). I like the tweet location a lot if I can aim them somewhere to sound good. I was thinking of trying to aim them at each other next.
Overall impression
I realize this will take tons of tuning to get it halfway decent. I will probably buy that IMPRINT kit soon enough. I already spent over $2000, so whats another couple hundred to have it tuned correctly automatically. I will be finding my IASCA CD deep in storage that Dingaling gave me 6 years ago. I need to start auditioning real sound quality to get a better idea of the system. I know its too early to say this, but now I'm thinking the CDT classic may not be enough speaker for that sweet McIntosh amp.

A Key West contractor who has served on the city's Planning Board for eight years announced his candidacy Thursday for the wide-open Utility Board seat.
Tim Root, a 25-year resident of Key West, said he will file paperwork with the city today to become a candidate for the seat of Lou Hernandez, who is retiring after the Oct. 1 general election.
"Over the last six months I've been asked by a few people in town about running," said Root. "With my construction background, all the construction coming out in the city, I think I can help in trying to keep the board efficiently running."
Root will face Cheryl Cates, the first candidate to sign up after Hernandez announced his retirement. Cates, the wife of Mayor Craig Cates, is making her first bid at public office.
"I was planning to run before Cheryl came on," said Root. "I'm running a very clean campaign, on my experience and my work background."
Root, 58, is originally from Lancaster, Pa. He attended community college but traded school at age 17 for a trade union job building the shipyards in Philadelphia.
His first job in Key West was as project manager for developer Pritam Singh's historic structures venture.
Root worked on the Little White House and other downtown projects. In 1998, he helped build Hurricane Hole marina and was a part-owner for several years.
A general contractor since 1980, Root is currently working as chief estimating officer for Mingo Co. construction.
Root served on the Historic Architectural Review Commission in the early 2000s and was later appointed by City Commissioner Mark Rossi to the Planning Board, a volunteer, unpaid post.
Recently, Root was also appointed to the county's affordable housing task force by County Commissioner Danny Kolhage.
Root is married to Reta Root, manager of Sloppy Joe's for 26 years, and they have three daughters: ages 39, 37 and 16, and four grandchildren.
It is Root's second run for public office. In 2011, he tried to take Mosquito Control District Commissioner Steve Smith's spot but lost in a tight primary race.
"I did very well in Key West; I took every precinct from here to Big Pine but one," said Root.
The job pays a monthly salary of $1,575 for members and $1,875 a month for the chair, according to Keys Energy Services spokesman Julio Barroso. Board members receive health insurance coverage as long as they remain in office, but only for themselves. Dependents must pay 100 percent of costs for insurance.

AMD A10-7850K Performance Optimized Catalyst 14.2 Driver
With the release of AMD's Kaveri APU and the realization of their heterogeneous compute vision, the A10-7850K has the potential to make a lot of changes in the way we use the processing power available to us. The A10-7850K can harness the full power of both its CPU and GPU cores equally, something that can benefit us, the end users, greatly. The problem is, that vision doesn't fully come to life until developers start writing for it.

Applies To: Windows Server 2016
You can use this topic for introductory information about Data Center Bridging (DCB).
DCB is a suite of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards that enable Converged Fabrics in the data center, where storage, data networking, cluster Inter-Process Communication (IPC), and management traffic all share the same Ethernet network infrastructure.
DCB provides hardware-based bandwidth allocation to a specific type of network traffic, and enhances Ethernet transport reliability with the use of priority-based flow control.
Hardware-based bandwidth allocation is essential if traffic bypasses the operating system and is offloaded to a converged network adapter, which might support Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI), Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet, or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
Priority-based flow control is essential if the upper layer protocol, such as Fiber Channel, assumes a lossless underlying transport.
Important DCB functionality
Following is a list that summarizes the functionality that is provided by DCB.
Provides interoperability between DCB-capable network adapters and DCB-capable switches.
Provides a lossless Ethernet transport between a computer running Windows Server 2016 and its neighbor switch by turning on priority-based flow control on the network adapter.
Provides the ability to allocate bandwidth to a Traffic Control (TC) by percentage, where the TC might consist of one or more classes of traffic that are differentiated by 802.1p traffic class (priority) indicators.
Enables server administrators or network administrators to assign an application to a particular traffic class or priority based on well-known protocols, well-known TCP/UDP port, or NetworkDirect port used by that application.
Provides DCB management through Windows Server 2016 Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Windows PowerShell. For more information, see the section Windows PowerShell Commands for DCB later in this topic, in addition to the following topics.
Provides DCB management through Windows Server 2016 Group Policy.
Supports the coexistence of Windows Server 2016 Quality of Service (QoS) solutions.
Before using any RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) version of RDMA, you must enable DCB. While not required for Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol (iWARP) networks, testing has determined that all Ethernet-based RDMA technologies work better with DCB. Because of this, you should consider using DCB for iWARP RDMA deployments. For more information, see Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and Switch Embedded Teaming (SET).
Practical applications of DCB
Many organizations have large Fiber Channel (FC) storage area network (SAN) installations for storage service. FC SAN requires special network adapters on servers and FC switches in the network. These organizations typically also use Ethernet network adapters and switches.
In most cases, FC hardware is significantly more expensive to deploy than Ethernet hardware, which results in large capital expenditures. In addition, the requirement for separate Ethernet and FC SAN network adapter and switch hardware requires additional space, power, and cooling capacity in a datacenter, which results in additional, ongoing operational expenditures.
From a cost perspective, it is advantageous for many organizations to merge their FC technology with their Ethernet-based hardware solution to provide both storage and data networking services.
Using DCB for an Ethernet-based converged fabric for storage and data networking
For organizations that already have a large FC SAN but want to migrate away from additional investment in the FC technology, DCB allows you to build an Ethernet based converged fabric for both storage and data networking. A DCB converged fabric can reduce the future total cost of ownership (TCO) and simplify management.
For hosters who have already adopted, or who plan to adopt, iSCSI as their storage solution, DCB can provide hardware-assisted bandwidth reservation for iSCSI traffic to ensure performance isolation. And unlike other proprietary solutions, DCB is standards-based - and therefore relatively easy to deploy and manage in a heterogeneous network environment.
A Windows Server 2016-based implementation of DCB alleviates many of the issues that can occur when converged fabric solutions are provided by multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Implementations of proprietary solutions provided by multiple OEMs might not interoperate with one another, might be difficult to manage, and will typically have different software maintenance schedules.
By contrast, Windows Server 2016 DCB is standards-based, and you can deploy and manage DCB in a heterogeneous network.
Hardware requirements
Following is a list of hardware requirements for DCB.
DCB-capable Ethernet network adapter(s) must be installed in computers that are providing Windows Server 2016 DCB.

Mark Matos and Os Beaches
So, Mark Matos is on tour somewhere in the American Midwest, gets real far out on an LSD bender, decides to quit his buzz band Campo Bravo and move away from the tweaker dens of Tucson, Arizona, where theyve been steadily gaining attention for years. Returning to the Bay Area where he grew up, he puts together a rag tag bunch of indie-hippies called Os Beaches, and gets down to the business of peddling a soulful, electric piano lead blend of styles he dubs acid gospel. Its the kind of story that sounds custom baked in some press release kitchen, but listening to the sun baked jangle of Imaginary, Winnipeg, from Os Beaches debut Words of the Knife, its hard not to get swept up in the mythology of it all. Instrumental tune Tras-os-Montes might be the records best track, a dusty, reverb-laden excursion to those magical places where the desert, the highway, a stack of your uncles old Dead bootleg tapes and two nations borders mingle, the kind of old-weird America you see in Wim Wenders films, a rattling guitar feeding back in the distance, lending unskeptical credence to ridiculous genre names, San Franciscan acid droppers and true believers.

International Conference on Environmental Economics
University of Paris X - Nanterre, Conference Room, 'K' Building
Macrodynamic Theory and Environmental Economics :
a tribute to Philippe MICHEL
Philippe Michel passed away two years and a half ago. He instigated numerous works and discussions in environmental economics, be it alone or co-authored with junior or senior researchers. On a broader scale, he fostered an international research network thanks to early informal meetings on tradable permits that encompassed later on all types of environmental issues. These 'Environmental Days' gather on a regular basis researchers from the CORE, the GREQAM and the Universities of Lille 1, Paris 1, and Paris X. This conference aims at diffusing the atmosphere of these meetings and enlarging their scope.
The motive to organize such an international conference to pay tribute to Philippe Michel is twofold. First, by gathering young and confirmed researchers from different generations. Second, by focusing on a central topic of his latest work, namely the environment and its link with macrodynamic theory.
The conference Scientific Committee invites the submission of all papers in the field of environmental economics, at the microeconomic, macroeconomic or dynamic levels.
The best papers selected by the Scientific Committee may be considered for a publication in a book.

Where I stayed
I'm in the bar at the moment and its full of people. Theres lots of young groovy Chinese and quite a few Westerners. The soccer's huge here and its on at the moment although for me its hard to follow in Chinese.
Mia and I vistited the Bell Tower today and paid the entrance fee and were then disappointed that you actually had to pay again to ring the bell. One American guy paid for 6 rings (there was a scale of how much you paid for how many rings) and the Bell Nazi woman nearly jumped out of her skin, he rang the bell so loudly.
There's an amazing wall here that used to enclose and protect the city. Its still completely intact. We rode bikes around the top a couple of days ago and it took and hour and a half. That gives you an idea of the size of it.

Paul Rossman, an IUP student, will give the colloquium presentation "Social Network Analysis and Applications" on Tuesday, September 30. It will be held in Stright Hall room 302 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Social network analysis is a method of research using data to analyze relationships between individuals, organizations, and committees, and driving the concept is the idea that social networks are fundamentally a part of any group or community. The people who know each other and, in turn, know others present a web of power and knowledge. Theoretically, these connections and relationships speak volumes about our society and the individual players, or actors, themselves. This field is very popular amongst social scientists, and even journalists have begun to use it. However, the field is rooted deeply in mathematics—namely graph theory. This presentation will provide an introduction to the basic concepts of social network analysis, some of its fundamental ideas in graph theory, and an overview of software used to perform the analysis. It will also look at several applications of social network analysis, including analyzing a few datasets.

Martin Eden HTML version
Chapter 6
A terrible restlessness that was akin to hunger afflicted Martin Eden. He was
famished for a sight of the girl whose slender hands had gripped his life with a
giant's grasp. He could not steel himself to call upon her. He was afraid that he
might call too soon, and so be guilty of an awful breach of that awful thing called
etiquette. He spent long hours in the Oakland and Berkeley libraries, and made
out application blanks for membership for himself, his sisters Gertrude and
Marian, and Jim, the latter's consent being obtained at the expense of several
glasses of beer. With four cards permitting him to draw books, he burned the gas
late in the servant's room, and was charged fifty cents a week for it by Mr.
The many books he read but served to whet his unrest. Every page of every
book was a peep-hole into the realm of knowledge. His hunger fed upon what he
read, and increased. Also, he did not know where to begin, and continually
suffered from lack of preparation. The commonest references, that he could see
plainly every reader was expected to know, he did not know. And the same was
true of the poetry he read which maddened him with delight. He read more of
Swinburne than was contained in the volume Ruth had lent him; and "Dolores"
he understood thoroughly. But surely Ruth did not understand it, he concluded.
How could she, living the refined life she did? Then he chanced upon Kipling's
poems, and was swept away by the lilt and swing and glamour with which
familiar things had been invested. He was amazed at the man's sympathy with
life and at his incisive psychology. PSYCHOLOGY was a new word in Martin's
vocabulary. He had bought a dictionary, which deed had decreased his supply of
money and brought nearer the day on which he must sail in search of more. Also,
it incensed Mr. Higginbotham, who would have preferred the money taking the
form of board.
He dared not go near Ruth's neighborhood in the daytime, but night found him
lurking like a thief around the Morse home, stealing glimpses at the windows and
loving the very walls that sheltered her. Several times he barely escaped being
caught by her brothers, and once he trailed Mr. Morse down town and studied his
face in the lighted streets, longing all the while for some quick danger of death to
threaten so that he might spring in and save her father. On another night, his vigil
was rewarded by a glimpse of Ruth through a second-story window. He saw only
her head and shoulders, and her arms raised as she fixed her hair before a
mirror. It was only for a moment, but it was a long moment to him, during which
his blood turned to wine and sang through his veins. Then she pulled down the
shade. But it was her room - he had learned that; and thereafter he strayed there
often, hiding under a dark tree on the opposite side of the street and smoking
countless cigarettes. One afternoon he saw her mother coming out of a bank,
and received another proof of the enormous distance that separated Ruth from

I recently prepared a presentation about Factoryboy, a Python library that automates lot of the work when a developer needs to create some data for unit testing.
I've been using this library since a couple of months, both in the company where I work and on a personal open source project I'm working on. I will give a presentation about this library in an internal workshop in my company and I'm available to give it in any Python/Django related event around London, if anyone is interested.

new engine, roller cam break in ??
Hi all,
Does i need any breakin for an engine whit a roller lifter/cam ?
I have my brand new 410sbc supercharged ready, already started it
couple of sec. but not sure if the cam need any breakin procedure like
standard cam ?
I think you need to run it "nicely" for a little while before romping on it with a new roller cam, but I don't know... I would like to know the answer to this also guys...
As long as everything is well lubed on startup. There is no actual break in on a roller cam.
You don't need any break in with a roller cam. Just make sure everything is safe and drive it.
No need to break in the roller camshaft but being a new engine, some people like to take certain steps to ensure the rings seat properly, depends on what your using, your call on that one. Good luck
No wonder all the new cars use them lol. Ahh the wonders of of modern tech.
As long as the lifters aren't worn out, you can reuse old roller lifters on a new cam too.
So i can assume no break in is required on the engine then...
For sure i will run some miles on it before cranking it :thumbup:
You still need to seat the rings and change the oil and filter after the first 1/2 hour.
Even with a roller setup we still break in the motor on the dyno the same as a flat tappet, for 1/2 hour running motor at 2200-2500 RPM with light load monitoring water temps and oil pressure. Drain oil, cut and inspect filter.

Campaigning for Decent Work across Palestine
'We have succeeded in reducing the working day by half an hour. From the experience, I realise that big achievements begin by small steps. That was the accumulated knowledge that I have learnt from the TUC project,' says Saed Zubaidy, one of the participants in the TUC Aid funded project that has just been completed with the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU).
Saed Zubaidy is one of 300 working people to attend PGFTU-organised workshop, held as part of this TUC project. While he was already a trade union member, he had not previously been interested in standing as a workplace representative in the telecommunications company where he worked.
'At the time, I had no idea about rights and freedoms of unions, nor about the importance of being a representative of workers. But during my participation in the workshop, I began to realize the importance of engaging in discussions and getting new knowledge. This has encouraged me to play an active role in the union. I realized that something had changed in my personality and abilities. I felt stronger and now had the ability to convince. I decided that I had these skills and must use them in my practical life'.
This project was about inspiring existing trade unionists to get more involved in their unions and campaigning for better rights in the workplace, as well as encouraging new working people to join trade unions. At the end of the four-month project, at least 300 workers (including 153 women) better understand their rights as a result of attending training on rights and freedoms, solving workplace conflicts, child labour, gender, organising workers, labour laws and collective bargaining. One hundred and twenty new members have joined the participating unions in targeted worksites across the Palestinian West Bank, 56 of them women including Nedaa Al Zaher, enabling them to benefit from union services and negotiations. Three unions across 18 worksites have elected new workplace committees.
And Saed has been elected onto one of these workplace committees. He continues: 'At the beginning of this year and inspired by the PGFTU/ TUC activities, the union decided to elect representatives and to adopt a new constitution, in cooperation with the PGFTU legal advisor. I decided to be a candidate in my sector and not only was I elected but I got high votes.'
And these committees are now actively working to improve the working conditions of their workplace colleagues. Saed says, 'Being a representative is not an easy duty but I admire this democratic process which will lead to develop our work conditions and to have more decent work.'
'During the first two months since our elections, we have negotiated with the employer on two points - to reduce half an hour from the working day for women and to have two days off a week. We succeeded in reducing the working day by half an hour for women, while workers now have both Friday and Saturday off each week which is excellent in the private sector. From the experience, I realise that big achievements begin by small steps. That was the accumulated knowledge that I have learnt from the TUC project.'
TUC Aid supporters from affiliates across Britain generously supported this successful project via individual, branch and union donations. The TUC continues to collaborate with the PGFTU and is currently exploring with them other, future areas for joint cooperation.

Ukraine opposition restive as talks drag on
Page Tools
Another name on the wall ... a family of supporters of Viktor Yushchenko add the name of their home town to the wall outside a parliamentary building in Kiev.

Despite expectations of imminent new elections, and parliament voting to sack the government of the Prime Minister, Viktor Yanukovich, Ukraine is still floundering in the political crisis triggered by the contested presidential poll more than a week ago.
Supporters of the Western-learning opposition leader, Viktor Yushchenko, camping on the streets of Kiev for 11 days, are getting restive as the 21 judges of the Supreme Court continue to examine 11,000 complaints of election violations.
European and Russian representatives are trying to help mediate between Mr Yushchenko and Mr Yanukovich, the official winner of the flawed elections on November 21.
The European Union's troubleshooter, Javier Solana, huddled with Ukraine's departing head of state, Leonid Kuchma, on Tuesday night. President Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland arrived in Kiev yesterday, as did Boris Gryzlov, the Speaker of the Russian parliament.
The opposition might have preferred to see Russia's former foreign minister, Igor Ivanov, known as the "angel of death" in eastern Europe because of his record for persuading corrupt old dictators to go peacefully. He persuaded the Georgian leader, Eduard Shevardnadze, to step down gracefully during the Rose Revolution in Tbilisi a year ago.
But so far there has been no sign of President Kuchma - who promoted Mr Yanukovich as his heir - being given a tap on the shoulder. On the contrary, President Vladimir Putin of Russia, who owes his office in the Kremlin to "managed democracy", overtly backed Mr Yanukovich before the crisis. But in the past few days Russia has been more circumspect, speaking of the importance of the law, and seems to have come round to the EU's view that fresh elections are the way forward.
Even Mr Kuchma conceded that on Monday, but the Supreme Court, ploughing through the volumes of evidence of vote-rigging and intimidation, appeared to be in no hurry to announce a verdict that might allow a new vote to take place.
Opposition supporters, clambering over each other's shoulders, tried to force their way into parliament on Tuesday. There was some scuffling but no serious violence. The protesters were frustrated that parliament seemed to be backtracking on its declaration of Saturday that called the original elections "invalid".
They wanted to see the deputies move more quickly to pass a vote of no confidence in Mr Yanukovich's government.
The European and Russian envoys will try to restart talks between the would-be presidents, which Mr Yushchenko broke off on Tuesday because he said Mr Yanukovich was dragging his feet.
Mr Yanukovich had proposed a compromise whereby if he was confirmed president, Mr Yushchenko could become his prime minister, but the opposition leader dismissed that out of hand. He also rejected another suggestion from Mr Yanukovich that if fresh elections were held, there should also be new candidates and he and Mr Yushchenko should stand down. The crowd have been through too much to give up now and they say nothing but a Yushchenko presidency will satisfy them.

Chromasphere Lite

by: redmotion games • 119
Published: 2012-08-09, by Manu Galvez.
Most mobile devices native games are those that use accelerometer (that's it, tilt controls) as main controlling system. Thanks to it games that were outdated or obsolete, or even those that had no sense before tilting, are now hitting the market. Chromasphere is a great example.
Chromasphere is a action puzzle game in which you have to use tilt controls to steer a ball through floating mazes. The goal is to reach the end, a portal that will teleport you to the next level. However, you will find some obstacles on the way, like closed colored-doors. In order to open them you have to collect gems of a specific color. Likewise, you'll have to activate some colored-switches to build temporary bridges. Remember pace and colors are everything in this game.
There are up to 4 different worlds, 6 levels in each. Complexity increases as you progress: more walls, narrower path, rotating platforms and more gems to grab. Score depends on your performance: the fastest and the least lives you spend to complete the maze. You can submit your scores on Facebook and Twitter, however, there aren't online leadeboards.
Chromasphere is set in great 3D graphics, well rendered: we had no issues playing it on a medium-end device. Controls are its plus point: tilt controls to speed up, slow down, move sides. Likewise, you can pinch to zoom in/out, plus swipe and hold to change camera view.
Original gameplay, tilt controls, great graphics and challenging puzzles. All the ingredients of a successful title. Great one.

Christmas. The birth of our Savior. The reminder that God is with us!
Do you sometimes feel too rushed during the Christmas season to contemplate the wonder of it all? It's easy with the demands and frantic pace of the season to get caught in the headlong rush to the morning of December 25th. This Christmas season I want to be intentional about making time to take in the wonder of God's stunning plan to rescue us from our sin.
So, what is it going to take for me to not get caught up in the rush? I think it starts with the intentionality and the desire to do it differently. Then I need to have a plan, a plan to spend quiet time with God each morning pondering His Gift to us and the ramifications of that. My plan needs to include plenty of family time and time for meaningful conversation about our Savior. Then there's seeing the wonder of Christmas through the eyes of children, watching their expressions, asking them questions about Jesus and the Christmas story.
Those are a few of my thoughts about how to experience the wonder of Christmas, before the rush runs me over. What about you? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

This same approach could be applied to taxing any number of bottom-feeding activities, from mixed-martial arts — a bill to legalize beating the crap out of people for fun and profit is up for debate in the Legislature, so why not soak the proto-sport's brain-damaged fans for a few extra bucks on every ticket they buy — to canned hunting — a measure to ban enclosed game-shooting farms was shot down (ouch!) this session, but could be revived and amended to include an unsportsmanlike-conduct tax, an levy on displaying an undeserved trophy (would that be a taxidermy tax?), and an entirely voluntary contribution to the state treasury in return for our pledge not to have all your pals back in New York City receive an official letter from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife explaining how you really got that buck.
Also, I could see some advantages to combining the two bills just mentioned into one bloodthirsty — and taxable — event, and that's even before we start negotiating our share of the take from pay-per-view.
Unfortunately, none of my ideas has been included in the only tax-reform bill with any chance of passing this year. This anemic product of compromise, caution, and cowardice is sponsored by Democratic House Majority Leader John Piotti of Unity. It would lower the income tax — although not enough — broaden the sales tax — although not enough — and raise the meals and lodging taxes — just enough to cause lots of whining from restaurant and hotel owners.
For all its faults (and if Maine had a fault tax, this bill would balance the budget all by itself), Piotti's plan is still superior to that put forward by Republican legislators, which calls for a cap on the annual increase in state spending (state spending is actually declining) and requires all excess sales-tax revenue be used to lower the income tax (excess revenues are about as common in Maine at the moment as politically savvy Republicans).
What this state needs is to impose a substantial penalty on bills that promise relief they can't deliver.
We could call it the tax-reform tax.
You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com but it'll cost you.

Asin Thottumkal not active on Twitter
The latest celebrity, who has been a target of these impostors is Asin Thottumkal. She has cleared the air declaring that she is not active on Twitter and is upset about the fake accounts with her name. The impostor is interacting with her fans and has lots of followers.
The actress said that people are being misguided by those fake profiles, which are not created by her. Asin added that she is neither on Orkut or Twitter or any other social networking site. However, the actress did not deny the fact that she might join them in near future.
Well, this news might have disheartened many of her fans, but the second part of the news is definitely heartwarming for them because they can expect to get in touch with her through these social networking sites in coming days!

As Maine Goes, So Goes Obama?
posted at 8:23 pm on August 24, 2009 by Slublog
I know Ed wrote about this a couple of days ago, but I wanted to provide the perspective of a taxpayer in a 'public option' state.
As the president and congressional Democrats continue their quest to convince the American people that a public option will help lower healthcare costs, the Wall St. Journal looks north and finds an example of that approach…lacking.
Then the state created a "public option" known as DirigoChoice. (Dirigo is the state motto, meaning "I Lead.") This plan would compete with private plans such as Blue Cross. To entice lower income Mainers to enroll, it offered taxpayer-subsidized premiums. The plan's original funding source was $50 million of federal stimulus money the state got in 2003. Over time, the plan was to be "paid for by savings in the health-care system." This is precisely the promise of ObamaCare. Maine saved by squeezing payments to hospitals and physicians.
The program flew off track fast. At its peak in 2006, only about 15,000 people had enrolled in the DirigoChoice program. That number has dropped to below 10,000, according to the state's own reporting. About two-thirds of those who enrolled already had insurance, which they dropped in favor of the public option and its subsidies. Instead of 128,000 uninsured in the program today, the actual number is just 3,400. Despite the giant expansions in Maine's Medicaid program and the new, subsidized public choice option, the number of uninsured in the state today is only slightly lower that in 2004 when the program began.
It didn't take long for the weaknesses of the program to make themselves evident. The 'self-sustaining' formulas were built upon faulty assumptions, and Maine taxpayers have been paying the price ever since. Even though the tax on insurers (euphemistically called a "savings offset payment') was upheld by the state supreme court in 2007, the program still ran low on funds.
So to preserve Governor John Baldacci's legacy, my insurance premiums are being taxed, and the legislature attempted to tax soda, wine and beer, which violated Baldacci's campaign promise not to raise taxes. (Sound familiar?) Maine voters overwhelmingly rejected that tax, leaving the administration to look for other sources of revenue. One of the ideas under consideration? A $100,000 a year cap on benefits.
In addition, Maine's bureaucrats are making it harder for hospitals to treat patients with their central planning view of the role of government.
According to the US Census bureau, Maine has a population of only 1.3 million. The Dirigo health plan insures only 9,472. This state is unable to run or find enough money to fund a program that insures only 0.7% of the state's population. ObamaCare has many of the same provisions and funding formulas, and the president claims it will not only cover the health insurance needs of over 300 million Americans but also 'bend the cost curve' downward. Well, each time I get paid, money is taken out of my paycheck to fund my healthcare, Dirigo Care, Medicaid, and Medicare, so color me extremely skeptical of the administration's claims.
Take it from an overtaxed Mainer, the idea of a public option is much better than the reality. In this case, as Maine goes should be what the rest of the nation avoids.
