Remember the premise for Obamacare?
It was supposed to address the fact that millions of Americans - 48 million in 2012 - had no health insurance. President Obama and congressional Democrats rammed the program through, despite opposition by a majority of the American people, on the premise that these millions were uninsured because health insurance was unaffordable and it was government's responsibility to do something about it.
If that was the idea, the "Affordable Care Act" is failing miserably. An article in Saturday's Wall Street Journal detailed the magnitude of the failure. The WSJ cites a sampling survey by business consulting firm McKinsey & Co. that finds only 11 percent of those enrolling in Obamacare were previously uninsured. Further, 52 percent of those declining to buy insurance on Obamacare exchanges said they did so because the policies - subsidies and all - are unaffordable. Another 30 percent said they did not sign up because buying coverage on the exchanges is too technically challenging.
The Wall Street Journal checked around with a couple of insurers and found numbers that support the trend reported by McKinsey. Michigan-based Priority Health, for instance, reports that only 20 percent of enrollees in its Obamacare-compliant policies were previously uninsured.
The newspaper notes this is all very bad news for the health insurance industry, which made rate concessions and accepted new taxes on the assumption that Obamacare would offset those concessions by bringing large numbers of previously uninsured people, including healthy young people, into the market. The insurers hoped to make up in volume what they lost in per policy profit margins.
What appears to be happening, insurers say, is that many of the new enrollees are previously insured people who can save money due to the subsidies. Another significant influx is coming from people who had insurance with small companies that are now cutting benefits and dumping their workers into the exchanges. Still others are people who had policies canceled because they did not provide all the coverage required under new Obamacare rules.
The article cites particularly grim statistics from Michigan, where insurers were counting on 400,000 of that state's 1.2 million uninsured to buy from the exchanges in the first few months. So far, only 76,000 have enrolled, and most of those were previously insured.
So what has Obamacare accomplished to date? Well, there are the millions of people who had their plans canceled, despite the president's promise if they liked their coverage they could keep it.
For millions more, Obamacare has incentivized their small-company employers to dump them into the exchanges, where they may or may not find a comparable deal.
And as for those tens of millions who didn't have insurance because they couldn't afford it? Most are still uninsured, with the majority saying they still cannot afford it.
For this, the president and Democrats in Congress blew up the entire U.S. health care system? It is shaping up as the biggest political debacle in history. Unfortunately, the best health delivery system in the world is being destroyed in the process.

But A Few Hours Later, the Flying Monkeys AttackedJanuary 3rd, 2008 by Bradley Denton
Now that I've returned to Central Texas after my and Barb's annual Pilgrimage to the Old Country, I thought I'd write a long, convoluted post worthy of my reputation as a yammering psychopath.
Unfortunately, now that I've returned to Central Texas, Central Texas has also returned to me. I have a truly outstanding case of cedar fever, and tonight I feel about as good as I did the last time I was worked over with a crowbar (which happens with greater frequency than you might imagine, considering how sweet I am).
As a result, this week's post is of the same ilk as last week's — that is, a photo from one of the high points of the Pilgrimage:
So. Where did YOU spend Christmas?

Today the White House will announce a new initiative called SummerQAmp, a summer internship program for low-income and "disconnected youth" to work at startups around the country, where they will presumably learn discipline, teamwork and real-life skills. "The initiative is being led by musician Jon Bon Jovi, the former White House CTO Aneesh Chopra and executives from GroupMe and Gilt Groupe," according to a press release. Jason Baptiste of Onswipe will also be participating in a press conference and conference call later today.

By Ross Newhan
The late Al Campanis, during his tenure as general manager of the Dodgers, liked to say that you can't really gain a true measure of a team until it has played every other team in the league.
Campanis was schooled by Branch Rickey, the Mahatma, who worked at a time when there were only 16 teams, eight in each league, and the American didn't play the National until the World Series.
Now there are 30 teams, 15 in each league, meaning that two are engaged in an interleague series almost every night, no team is going to play all of the other 29, and Rickey--who also worked in a vastly different payroll era--would have to preach a different theory in relation to gaining a first true measure of your own team.
What we know for sure in 2013 is that a quarter of the season has passed, and the Dodgers, with their $230 million payroll, are 18-25 amid increasing speculation that Don Mattingly could be fired as early as Thursday, when the team returns from Milwaukee for an off day.
(While a Dodger executive said by email there are no plans for a Thursday firing he left it at that, failing to include any other day of the week.)
Can Mattingly survive? Should he?
Can the Dodgers survive a stumbling start to win what now appears to be a wide open divison?
My answer to all of that is an intertwined yes:
Mattingly can survive, should survive, and the Dodgers can rebound in the NL West, but sound reasoning in relation to the manager could yield to the impatience of an ownership that generated a record payroll after spending a record $2.1 billion to buy the team and another $100 million--to this point--on stadium renovations.
The Guggenheim partners have no track record as a gauge to their thinking, but an ownership/management that refused to pick up Mattingly's 2014 option in the off season could simply decide that firing him now to eliminate all the distracting speculation is justification enough.
Forget a bat rack full of facts that would generally suggest the manager deserves more time.
For example: injuries have prevented Mattingly from starting his projected lineup even once; six starting pitchers have gone on the disabled list; the bullpen, anchored by a closer (Brandon League) to whom the Dodgers gave a three year contract based on the final month of 2012, has lost a league leading 13 games; the left side of the infield has been largely a revolving door, and with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier failing to produce anticipated power (which may be changing), the Dodgers have been among the NL's worst at hitting with runners in scoring position.
How many times in how many other places have similar facts not mattered, and maybe my long fondness for Mattingly colors my thinking, my belief that he deserves an extended period with a full lineup, healthy rotation and a bullpen that needs to be sorted out.
I recognize, beyond the facts, there is a perception held by many that Mattlingly is too much the nice guy, too much of a soft voice.
I recognize as well that current third base coach Tim Wallach was deservedly in line when Joe Torre stepped down as manager and lobbied on behalf of Mattingly and their pin-striped relationship, lobbied to an owner who was beginning to spend more time in court than at the stadium.
Yet, how many times in how many other places has change for the sake of change produced an initial impact only to fizzle out?
Has the Guggenheim team made it's decision?
Is it too late for Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu to change it by doing to the Brewers what Clayton Kershaw did so masterfully in the Monday night opener.
Too late for Kemp and Ethier to prove their home runs behind Kershaw were, at last, an awakening?
The answer isn't clear, but the liklihood, unfortunately, is that the clock on Mattingly is definitely ticking.

You've known for a while now that someone you care about is going through a rough patch with money. Their face is constantly tight with worry and there's a stack of bills on their side table. You can't have a five-minute conversation without their phone ringing, and every time it does they let out a world-weary sigh.
There could be a whole host of reasons why they're struggling, some you may not even be aware of. Maybe they recently had their hours cut at work, or their partner walked out. It may even be a case of too much retail therapy. You want to help but don't know how.
Penny for your thoughts?
Saying "I'm in debt and I don't know what to do" out loud, even to someone you trust, can be terrifying. Look at your friend and the loved ones surrounding them –who is it they're most likely to open up to?
Talk to a mutual friend or family member in confidence – make them promise to discuss nothing with the person in debt until you've figured out a plan of action together. You may find that this other friend has noticed the same things you have.
Safety in numbers
Your friend needs to know they're not alone. Visit the Debt-Free Wannabe section of the MoneySavingExpert.com forums. There you'll see plenty of people who need support in paying off their debts. You'll be amazed how indiscriminant debt can be. Invite your friend to read some of the stories on there.
Recommend a friend
If you want to gauge your friend's reaction to getting debt advice you can make up a story about someone else you know having debt problems. Telling your friend that "Deborah from work was really struggling but got in touch with StepChange Debt Charity and now she's much happier", it might just encourage them to get in touch.
Never a borrower nor a lender be…
We don't doubt that you want to help your friend, and chances are you've probably lent them the odd tenner every now and again. Resist the urge to lend any huge sums. Many clients who get in touch with us have gotten into debt because they sacrificed their own income in order to help someone they care about.
Turn on the TV and sooner or later you'll be accosted by adverts encouraging you to be a guarantor on a friend's loan. It seems simple, but few things tear friendships and families apart like money. If your friend is struggling now, chances are they'll struggle to pay you back on time each month as well.
If your loved one asks you to be a guarantor on a loan for them kindly but firmly tell them no. Explain that you don't want money or debt to ruin the bond you have with them, and you have enough responsibilities of your own to deal with. This would be the perfect opportunity to suggest they get some free and confidential debt advice.
You've got a friend
Ultimately, your friend is the one who decides when they're ready to take control of their debt. By being there for them, listening to them and showing them ways to save money, you're helping them more than you know.
They can find the best solution for their debts by using our confidential Debt Remedy online debt tool.

It did not receive the press attention it should have, but on May 7, 2008 a group of leading thinkers and activists issued An Evangelical Manifesto making public a number of trends brewing among conservative Protestants for some time. Those trends have major implications for American politics.
Evangelicalism lacks a Pope or a caliphate. Denominations such as the Southern Baptist Convention have some authority, but even they cannot impose their views on individual believers or congregations. Still, the signers of the Evangelical Manifesto include a number of prominent people in the movement, such as Richard Mouw, President of the Fuller Theological Seminary in California, Timothy George, Dean of the Divinity School at Samford University, David Neff, editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, and Os Guinness, a writer and social critic. No one in the evangelical world doubts the seriousness of their credentials or the sincerity of their convictions.
One of the most striking features of the Manifesto is the lengths to which its authors go to disassociate themselves from fundamentalism. Protestantism, they write, tends to veer off either in a mainline, liberal direction or in a reactionary, anti-modern one - evangelicalism must be understood as rejecting both. Their critique of the mainline tendencies is not surprising. Their harsh words toward fundamentalism are. Fundamentalism "tends to romanticize the past, some now-lost moment in time, and to radicalise the present, with styles of reaction that are personally and publicly militant to the point where they are sub-Christian." Jerry Falwell is dead. One wonders, were he still alive, how he would react to other religious conservatives calling him "sub-Christian."
Along similar lines, the Manifesto calls for a repudiation of the fundamentalist commitment to partisan politics. Faith should not be viewed as purely personal, the Manifesto's authors hold, for evangelicals are under an obligation to spread the good news of the Gospel. But there is another error as well: "to politicise faith, using faith to express essentially political points that have lost touch with biblical truth." The authors are careful to note that this is an error committed both by the left and the right, but given how much more influential right-wing evangelicals have been than left-wing ones, this is a message being delivered with more vehemence to Pat Robertson than to Jim Wallis.
Even more importantly, the authors of the Manifesto call for a middle way between a sacred and a naked public square. Needless to say, the authors abhor the idea of a public square so strict in its interpretation of church/state separation that it would establish secularism as the dominant American public theology. At the same time, however, they also reject "those who for religious, historical, or cultural reasons would continue to give a preferred place in public life to one religion which in almost all current cases would be the Christian faith.... In a society as religiously diverse as America today, no one faith should be normative for the entire society."
It does not take much reading between the lines to understand that these words are not directed against fundamentalist Protestants so much as they are aimed at extremely conservative Catholics. As the writer Damon Linker has pointed out in The Theocons, intellectuals such as Fr Richard John Neuhaus of First Things, a magazine at which Linker once worked, have taken the lead in formulating a coalition between conservative Catholics and conservative Protestants that seeks to clothe the public square with religiously-inspired garb. Since it was Neuhaus himself who first attacked the idea of a naked public square, the signatories of this Manifesto are distancing themselves, however carefully, from his very worldly ambitions.
And therein lies the significance of the document. To the extent that the United States has been gripped by a culture war the last few decades, it is because conservatives across religious lines have had more in common with each other than they have had with liberal adherents within their own traditions. This document marks the first public declaration that one important segment of conservative American religion, perhaps the single most important one, is rejecting the culture war and everything for which it stands. Indeed the authors of the Manifesto say so explicitly. The culture, in their view, produces "a dangerous incubation of conflicts, hatreds and lawsuits." (Which of those, one wonders, is the worst?).
There is precious little talk of abortion and gay rights in this document, as important as those issues are for Christian conservatives. But there is talk of how "a common vision of the common good" can be lost through excessive polarization. These thinkers do not want to impose their views, however strongly they hold them, on people who hold other views: "A right for a Christian is a right for a Jew, and a right for a secularist, and a right for a Mormon, and [a] right for a Muslim, and a right for a Scientologist, and a right for all the believers in all the faiths across this wide land." For evangelicals to say this about Jews and Muslims - let alone Mormons or Scientologists - is path-breaking.
American evangelicalism has been maturing for the past three or four decades. An Evangelical Manifesto enables everyone interested in politics and religion in the United States to see and evaluate the results. And those results tell us what we have been learning throughout the 2008 presidential campaign: the age of Karl Rove truly is over.

My name is Fenway and I do what I want to do. I am the bestest climber. I had a small accident on Monday. I was standing half on the window sill and half on my Mom's wash basket. I was to busy trying to see if I could jump on a shelf and I fell. I hit the floor first and then the dirty wash hit me and then the basket on top of the dirty wash. I thought for a moment that my parents tried to catch me in the basket but I realized when they came running to my rescue that I did it all by myself. I didn't hurt myself. I am so glad that I didn't because I really love to climb on top of my parents kitchen cupboards and run around up there. My Mom tells me everyday that I will break my leg if I soon don't listen. Happy night, Love, Fenny

This one goes out to all those who have been sending messages and writing posts hailing the gun laws in Britain. Claiming them so civilized and effective. While we savage Americans fight to keep our guns. Perhaps, instead of coming here to pontificate ,you would spend sometime reading your newspapers or watching actual news on the tele , you might actually know what the truth was. Here's looking at you kiddies 😀
Happy New Year everyone.
A good friend in academe has sent me a copy of an excellent article by Professor Joyce Malcolm of the excellent Georgetown University Law School, published in the Wall Street Journal. She points out, correctly, that after the Dunblane School Massacre we in Britain made the same error Obama is now urging on Congress.
A savage crackdown on handguns was rushed through the House of Commons.
Badly drafted, in the midst of a moral panic, the Firearms Act is a classic example of a bad law. The claimed intent was to 'reduce gun crime.' Since the problem at Dunblane was that Thomas Hamilton was running a pedophile ring and supplying young boys for abuse to inter alia senior police officers the new legislation was never going to prevent another massacre, nor did it.
Whilst Hamilton was shot by a police officer (in an execution-style shooting, at close range, to make sure he never talked) the politicians and police officers who made sure existing firearms controls were circumvented were never prosecuted. Indeed there was a sordid, Sandy Hook style, cover-up. The incident helped to shatter confidence in the police in well-informed circles, including the Tory Party and Freemasonry. I am not a Mason by the way, although I have cordial relations with them and do not subscribe to the silly conspiracy theories about them you often find on the Internet. They tend to be very nice people. The Grand Master, if I may say so, is a particularly nice chap.
I am sure the poor parents of the children so disgracefully murdered at Dunblane did not want a massive increase in gun crime in Britain. That is what they helped bring about however. It has more than doubled since, even on official figures. The crackle of gunfire is not an unknown sound in Britain's inner cities these days, sadly.

Abilene Reporter-News, The (Newspaper) - December 30, 1938, Abilene, Texas WIST TEXAS' f ty Abilene Reporter "WITHOUT, OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES WE SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT VOL. LVIII, NO. 212. ABILENE, TEXAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1938. -TWELVE PAQEg. Gtlut! rrtM (OF) PEICB FIVE CENTS, WITH NO 'HEDGES' TACKED ON Babson Predicts Business At Close Of 1939 To Be Best Since 1929 Says Volume Will Advance 20 Per Cent Higher Incomes, Prices, More Jobs Seen As Factors By ROGER W. BABSON BABSON PARK, Mass., Dec. business by the end 1939 will be as good perhaps even belter than at any year-end since 1929. There may be periods when business will mark time, but the aver- age volume for the year will be around 20 per cent above the 1938 level. Johs, wages, re- tail sales, stocks, and even farm prices should all chalk up good-sized gains. It even possible that the sharp peaks of early 1937 will be topped hut this is a pretty long shot. Considering all factors. I fore- cast that 1939 will he a year of moderate prosperity. There are no 'hedges" tacked on to my forecast as there were In several years past. In J937. I fear- ed that the sit-downers would upset the apple-cart. A year .iso, Wash- ington's Inertia worried me. But today. I can see no reason why ttie tides of recovery should not carry us vigorously forward perhaps even to new highs since 1629. This will merely be a continuation ot the uptrend which began In 1632. Frankly, I do not consider the 1931- 38 recession as anything more than a temporary, but sharp. Interrup- tion of the upward swing. I emphasize this bit of "back his- tory" because I believe it has an Important bearing on confidence at the moment. Millions of people- as we got further and further away from upon that year as setting a record which can never again be touched. As of the sharp ups-and-downs ot the past decade, they have come to be- lieve that hard times are 'how nor- jna! times In America. 1 disagree. I think that these people have lost their horizon! 1 do not believe that 1929 necessarily represens the pin- nacle of American business. It Is true that some factors are Jess favorable than In 1925. Among them are taxes, bureaucracy, and lack of faith. We have, however, the following favorable Items to- day: 1. Our population has grown IfM.ISXl since 1029. 2. Thousands of new products have been indented. 3. Production efficiency has aoar- ed 50 per cent in ten years. 4. A huge deferred demand for goods has piled up. 5. Credit reserves are the great- est In history. 6. Production costs are lower than last year. 1. Wholesale and retail Inventor-, les are relatively low. 8. Confidence Is returning as "business balling" lessens. 9. Billions will be spent on arma- ments and pump priming. PEDESTRIANS BATTLE WINTER GALE NEW IDEA OF HEREAFTER PROPOSED IN LIASON BETWEEN RELIGION, SCIENCE RICHMOND, Va., Dec. new liaison between science and religion was pro- posed today by one of the great world-leaders of science, Sir Richard Gregory, to Ihe huge organization that represents all new world science, the Ameri- can Association for the Ad- vancement of Scter.ce. The editor of Nature, London magazine of science, suggested a new Idea of future life, where In the place of eternal life there will be a completely dif- ferent creation after the pres- ent earth has come to an end. The time has come, he said, when "exalted spiritual Ideals" must be combined Iwth the re- sults of scientific research. "Whatever differences of op- inion may said Sir Rich- ard, "as to the respective fields of religion and science they meet on common ground in the pursuit of truth and its Influ- ence upon human life and con- duct." Sir Richard said that the split between religion and science started from the early Hebrews and the Greeks. The Greeks were the first to invent the word "nature" to define a dif- ference between divine attri- butes and scientific study. Sir Richard pointed out that belief in the existence of an omnipotent power behind the universe Is universal. Faith he defined u, a belief not depend- ent upon material evidence, yet, contrary to popular belief as being one of the regular instru- ments at scientific discovery. "Altl-.oush science is unable to provide." he said, "any posi- tive evidence for survival ol personality after death, It must acknowledge that belle! In such survival Ii a powerful ethical factor In human devel- opment. "It is Just as permissible, therefore, to assume that an- other world awaits habitation of an exalted type of humanity after this earth has come to an end, as It is to believe In the eternal existence of Individual- ity." m EXTENDING SCOPE BEYOND WEST TEXAS Patrolman Water Klnn (left) was one of numerous Buffalo, N. policemen u-ho helped pedestratns across street inter- sections In the face of a Si- mile-an-hour gale as the worst storms of the winter sivept eastern states.

The official forecast said Friday would be cloudy and colder with Saturday partly cloudy and wann- er. Receipts 12 Per Cent Above TEXAS RANCH COUNTRY BALANCES ITS BOOKS IN BLACK INK 10. Building Is on the threshold of a real boom. GRADUAL IN EARLY MONTHS For these, and other reasons, I believe that the forces of recovery are still predominant. Right now business stands at 99 on my Bab- sonchart compared with 8i a year ago. 1939 will open, therefore, with activity 18 per cent above the early days of 1938. Indications are that, as we work along through the first half of the year, business will reg- ister a slow but healthy gain over Ihe January levels. The entire first half of the new year should show a 25 per cent Increase over '.he gloomiest months of early 1938. The second half of 1939 should see a continuation of the gains. Mj- forecast, however, Is contrary to Ihc expectations of many ppople. They look for business to taper off and even to slide backward when govern- ment pump priming ceases next Mny or June. Nevertheless, I am willing to predict that the second half of the year will be bettor than the early months and will run 15 per cent above the last half of 193S. The en- lir-j year's gain should average around 20 per cent. This would put the Babsoncharl at 106 to JOS by next Christmas. NO DISTURBING LEGISLATION' The absence of disturbing new legislation may well spark this ad- vance. Since 1933. the cues tor my annual forecasts itave been found on Pennsylvania avenue. This year, we face a new set-up. The marked increase In the republican delega- tion on CapHol hill, phis Ihe un- purged democrats, can lick any fur- ther new deal reforms. On Ihe olher hand, the president still re- tains enough "100 percenters" to block any serious revision of exist- ing laws. The Wagne- act, for instance, may be amended, but only If the president agrees to the amend- ments. Many tax law changes will be proposed, but few will go through. The fiscal reform may be the elimination of tax ex- emption on new government bonds. Moreover. It is possible that public BABSON, 8, Col. 1 Hunt Palo Jail Breakers PALO PMTO, Dec.

Area Lawgivers Will Offer Bills, Bandeen Reports Enlistment of all West Tex- as in a fight for equalization of freight rates inched farther afong yesterday. Secretaries of West Texas chambers of commerce met here, discussed the campaign at length and voted to recom- mend inclusion of the move- ment in work programs to their local boards. Nearly a score attended the conference. PROGRESS SKETCHED AVilburn Page, manager of the Wichita Palls chamber of com- merce, presided. Progress of the fight on asserted- ly "dlscfimina fory "fretgrit" "rates, launched by the West Texas Cham- ber of commerce, was sketched by D. A. Bandeen, WTCG manager. He hailed the movement as one reaching beyond regional bound- aries, perhaps national In scope. Half a dozen agencies already have pledged support of a National Freight Rate Biuality federation, organized tentatively at a district meeting December 12 in Ajnarlllo. Bandeen estimated that vari- ous West Teias agenda hare spent between and in the past two decades seeking equal rates. "Where has it gotten he asked, charging competitors of other territories ship though this region more cheaply than do West Texas producers themselves. DIFFERENT CHANNEL waged from within this territory, waged from within thl sterritory, Bandeen said, with reference to numerous hearings before the erstate Commerce commission anc endeavors. The proposa" now, he explained. Is to carry the ight into political channels in an approach from another angle. Out- come ot ICC hearings in recen months, Bandeen reported, is noi definite. He said if West Texas objective; ire achieved before the ICC, how iver, this region will have sue cueded only in preventing >f freight rate inequalities from :o 90 per cent. Several West Texas congressmen By Associated Press The Texas ranch country balanc- ed Its books In black Ink as pros- perous 1933 ended. Bank accounts bulged with cash from sales of last yeai'j surpluses and this year's crops of livestock, wool and mohair. Christmas rains had revived dry ranges. Livestock prices were higher generally on firm markets. While ranch receipts of the United States fell 6 per cent below 1937 figures during the Ilrst ten months of the year, the U. S. de- partment of agriculture estimated Texas receipts rose 12 per cent to total to the like period of 1937 when markets nose-dived with the business recession. The total cash receipts for Texas ranch products during 1938 are ex- pected to ran well above 000. ing during 1938 estimated for cattle, jheep and hogs. Northern buyers paid West Texas wool growers an estimated for pounds of wool, and coalmen got about for pounds of mo- hair. Unsold In West Texas were about pounds ot wool and pounds of mohair.

People of In'and cotton con- entration point in heir friends of neighboring com- mnttles tonight broke bread at the nnual banquet marking beginning f a new year's work of the cham- er of commerce, it was a gather- ng in which there was much of ratitude for things the past year las brought. Harry Hines, state highway com iwloner was the speaker. Hamlin has received an unu- sual quo U of fundamentally vital things in this put year. Good fortune has been earned and not gained by accident. That the chamber of commerce by IV. C. Russell, presi- dent, and W, E. Benson, jecre- been the agency that has organized thf community's energy for fulfillment of great needs, is universally recognized. Only within the past few ground has been broken for a gallon city water reser volr. In the successful effort to as sure this the chamber of commerc n-orked hard along with the city whose members are active in the chamber also, It was, therefore, a very signifi- cant annual meeting tonight.

There has been one other major obstacle for Hamlin highways.

The Diiljr Mail st.ld thit Lord ChamtxrWn hid decided lo 58 applications froD? Debutante's and matrjns for at one of next rears four courts because they engaged financially embar- rassed peeresses to sponsor them. King George's strict aversion to exploitation of royalty for private gain was said to be back of Lord Chamberlain's decision. It Is expected other applications will be refused, not because of the financial angle, but because more always are received than can be approved. Last July several peeresses were Informed by Lord Chamberlain that their attendance at further court functions In 193ft would not be "required." Some of these were reported to have accepted upwards of for sponsoring YODJIJ women "for the season.'1 The high point of the special season for a debutante is presen- tation at a royal court when she curtsies before the fclne and queen.

It's over: State Senator Joseph Addabbo has won his third term in Albany.
Councilmember Eric Ulrich said on election night he would not concede to defeat just yet, despite a victory announcement from the incumbent Addabbo.
The next morning, however, Ulrich announced via Twitter that he had called Addabbo and congratulated him on the victory.
With all precincts in the massive district reporting, Addabbo led with 57 percent – roughly 38,011 ballots, according to news sources. This is nearly 10,000 more than Ulrich. Tentative numbers from the Board of Elections confirmed Addabbo had nearly that number.
An Ulrich spokesperson said in a text that the campaign's internal numbers do not match the numbers used by news services and would not comment further as of 2 a.m.
Although their gatherings were separated by just blocks, the two gave contrasting views of the election's turnout thus far.
"We are not conceding this race at this time because the difference between me and my opponent is just a few percentage points and there are literally thousands – I don't have a concrete number – but thousands and thousands of paper ballots still out there," Ulrich said.
Addabbo, however, was confident in his victory and thanked a packed room for their support.
"We believed in the fact that it wasn't about the money, it's not about the billboards, it's not about the commercials, it's not about the mailers," he said. "It's about a positive message and a lot of heart."
Addabbo was referring mainly to the outpouring of money into the Ulrich for Senate war chest – floating around $1 million.
"We were outspent in 2008, we won. We were outspent in 2010, we won. And guess what, we were out spent in 2012 and we won this one," Addabbo said.
There were thousands of paper ballots that still needed to be counted, and Ulrich said he's curious how many of those were displaced Rockaway voters who still cast ballots within the district.
The brunt of confused results, Ulrich said, fell upon the Board of Elections (BOE), which he alleged had "run down the clock" on deciding where voters on the peninsula could vote.
"Widespread problems at the polls today," he said. "The incompetence of the Board of Elections, we know that already. How inaccessible they made it for people in these areas where these people lost everything to vote."
Ulrich, who, along with Addabbo, suspended his campaign to focus on relief efforts in his district following Superstorm Sandy, said, should he wake up tomorrow morning and his opponent have a wide margin, he'd be the first person to call and congratulate him.
He said the campaign did not plan on that just yet, waiting "until we know how many ballots are still out there and outstanding, I think it's premature that we throw in the towel."
But, as of now, the race is still narrow, Ulrich said.
As the hours crept further into the night, the margin between the two narrowed with Addabbo still retaining a lead over his opponent.
There is still the possibility of a recount, something Ulrich said he'll leave to his campaign people as he returns to helping those devastated by the disastrous storm.
Addabbo likewise told his supporters that the next step was returning to revamping and helping to rebuild the region – nearly all of which is a part of the new Senate District 15. The potential of a recount or a lawsuit against the results was something that Addabbo said wouldn't break his focus on getting the district back together.
"No, I'm not worried," he said. "You just want to make sure it's official and we move on. I have a lot of work to do. We can be mired in a court proceeding, but the bottom line, we have work to do. Any talk about what the storm did to the election, I have a job tomorrow."
The last week has been busy for Ulrich: Howard Beach, Broad Channel and the Rockaways were struck by Sandy on Monday, October 29; his wife, Yadira, gave birth to the couple's daughter, Lily, on Halloween; and he faced the election last night. He admitted upon voting earlier on Election Day that the preceding week had been chaotic, but had geared his focus least on the election.

I'm on vacation this week, traveling with a small group of my extended family out on the Dingle peninsula of Ireland. I'm mostly focused on vacation, but have done a little checking in on work things. Trying to stay connected - and figuring out how to adjust my Internet habits while on vacation with a Dad and brother that are decidedly less interested in computing is interesting. Here are some random thoughts from the experience.
I'm using a temporary Forrester computer, so none of my files are on this computer. I'm putting new files in the Dropbox folder, so they'll automatically be synced out for access when I get back. And I'm using a SugarSync account to retrieve needed files from my main PC, when I can find a connection. Our B&B doesn't have Wi-Fi, and it is rare in Dingle, so I'm using an ice cream shop that hands you a code if you want to use their Wi-Fi. Which means I connect about every 2 days, because it is several hundred meters away - thankfully it still works when they're closed and they don't change the code!
The biggest pain is mobile phone roaming! I turned off mobile access on the iPad. I signed up for AT&T's roaming data plan, which is the only east option for data but expensive. Even with the international roaming, mobile voice is $1 a minute. And there's no plan for roaming texting, so it's something like 25 or 50 cents a shot. So I bought an Irish SIM at the Post Office - which offers voice and text. But for some reason the old BlackBerry I put the SIM in can't send text, only receive them. And even though it is supposedly only for in-country calls, my brother was able to call my mobile with the Irish SIM when his Guinness factory stop in Dublin didn't work out.

I'm excited to be returning to the ideas of the Personal Cloud report that I published last July. In that report, I described how computing by individuals will shift from being device-centric, as it is today, to be being information-centric across devices and online services. Think of Personal Cloud as the following idea:
Federated sets of Internet-based digital services for individuals that act as a permanent and flexible resource to:
1) organize and preserve personal information, documents, media, and communications;
2) deliver that information on demand to any device or service; and
3) orchestrate integration of personal information across all digital devices and services.
Personal cloud service providers will build a combination of a data center cloud software platform, browser-based code to enable rich Web experiences, and device-level player or presentation code for richer experiences than the browser can provide, including offline access. And they will create an ecosystem of complementary software and service providers on top of their own offerings.
Tomorrow, Thursday, May 27th, I'll be hosting a panel on Personal Cloud at the Forrester IT Forum with three executives at companies that are building elements of the personal cloud ecosystem:

Bill Gates says we need to get to zero emissions
Bill Gates, world's most successful businessman, has been highlighting the danger of climate change and the need for an energy transformation, earning some praise from environmentalists — and a surprising amount of backlash.
Gates recently gave a TED talk in which he pushed a vision of a world in which population and wealth have increased, even as carbon emissions drop to zero. Although the full talk isn't available online, a series of photos of the event depict his summary slide, which calls for:
* Basic research funding
* Market incentives to decrease CO2
* Entrepreneurial opportunity
* Rational regulatory framework
This is a fairly standard list of environmental policy objectives. So why the hype?
On the praise side of the ledger, Alex Steffen calls the talk the most important climate speech of the year. According to Steffen, the talk marks the first time such a radical goal (zero emissions) has been delivered by a figure of such mainstream credibility. Environmentalists can talk about energy transformation until we're blue in the face, but Bill Gates is, well, Bill Gates, a figure virtually synonymous with both innovation and wealth creation.
Over on the other side of the blogosphere, Joe Romm describes Gates' speech as an ice cream cone made of "20% bat guano" (no, I don't get it either). According to Romm, Gates' proposals are a prescription for suicide, and the man himself is a huge hypocrite. The biggest complaint on Romm's laundry list of grievances is Gates' call for an "energy miracle," breakthroughs in technology that deliver emissions-free power at a fraction of current costs.
It seems to me that everyone is reading a bit too much into a fairly broad speech about climate change. Although Steffen clearly has the better take on the talk, it's worth noting that Gates' roadmap for emissions reductions is entirely conventional: 20% by 2020, 80% by 2050. It is indeed absolutely fantastic for this goal to win such a strong endorsement from an influential and respected figure not normally associated with environmental causes. And Gates' vision of a zero-emissions planet does serve as a potent rallying cry, even if he hasn't affixed any specific timeframe to it. But I can't see that the ground has altered in any meaningful way. The fate of the planet continues to reside in the entirely dysfunctional U.S. Senate, and not even the world's richest man can change that fact.
On the other side of the coin, Romm's take on the speech is just completely unhinged. His actual substantive point — that deployment of existing technology is more important than development of some future energy miracle — is sound. But reading his piece you'd never guess that Gates made a call for an aggressive action on carbon emissions, or that Gates' and Romm's policy agendas overlap about 95%, or that the practical differences are fairly meaningless to a non-expert audience. It's fine for Romm to press his own policy priorities, but couching them in a full-bore attack serves no purpose other than to drive away allies.
For a more nuanced take on some of Gates' recent climate musings, check out Sean Casten on the need for regulatory reform as a prerequisite to innovation in the energy marketplace. I doubt that Bill Gates would disagree very much with this point, and it would be great to have a powerful voice take up this cause.

Time for a Drink?
Since 1974, it's illegal to buy alcohol before 1 PM on Sundays in Gainesville. On Wednesday, a group of restaurant owners crowded a city meeting to say, it's time to change the law.
"We're in a bad economy, you can't turn those dollars down," said Shawn Shepherd, owner of Vellos restaurant in downtown Gainesville.
"With six hundred licensed establishments, and the tax revenue that would benefit the city, I mean, in all cases, that's something you can't really not look at," he said.
The public safety committee supports repealing the city's "Blue Laws."
"I'd like to hear from people who are not in favor, to hear their perspective on the issue, but barring some big issue I haven't heard about, it'll pass," said Commissioner Jeanna Mastrodicasa.
City commissioners are expected to discuss the committee's recommendation and vote on the repeal of the "Blue Laws" starting in December.

H4N "Planted Tank ROOM"
Hello everyone,
As some of you know I've been very busy with my latest and greatest project you can say.
One of my dreams have finally landed on my door step.
My own room for aquariums!!!!
My brother in law had a motorcycle attached to our home for two years. And had a construction trailer that he used for his showroom area.
Well 3 weeks ago I found out he was moving down the road and merging with another motorcycle business.
Which left a trailer empty!!!!
I got permission from my mother inlaw to turn it into anything I wanted.
Fast forward to last weekend.
Construction starts!!!
Worked on it all weekend!!
Not bad for about 20hours put in with me and my friend.
Thats inlcuding a 3 hour trip at home depot!!!
Here are a few pictures of the whole process:
We forgot to take pictures before we started to strip down the walls.
It had peg board all around and then it had wood paneling under it.
We then reinsulated with better insulation.
Then we had to put up a wall and door.
The entire trailer was to big for me and my budget.
If I reinsulate that part would of put me over my budget.
We also then vapor barrier the whole room.
Then instead of building racks out of 2x4 I decided not to and just buy racks. Just in case I ever have to move I can take everything with me and saved on some time.
Plumbed the heating from the hvac system the house already uses.
Ran a line over, Y into two register in the walk we made.
Dyson Hot + Cool heater:
This thing puts out some heat!!!
And costs about $1-$2 per day to keep the room at 65 degrees.
Not bad at all!!!
Had to get alterative heater source as the Hvac system only has a thermostat in our living room. SO basically if the living room keeps at temp it will never kick on leaving the tank room cool and with high oil prices. The Dyson heater will work much better.
Shrimp rack:
Will add more tanks as I move along on the project.
Complete work sink for the corner of the room.
Going be much easier doing water changes and such!
A bit more cleaning/organizing and a bunch of small things to finish then I'll can start filling tanks!!!
So I only bought one 4ft x 4 T5HO hydroponic lighting to try out with my DIY PAR meter.
Looks like it should be great for high lighting.
Has 2x 6,400k bulbs and 2x 10k bulbs. The color and the light output is amazing!!!
I will buy a bunch more soon.
So far I only got 6x 40b but will be getting much more as the project moves along. Or the next Petco $1/g sale lol!!!
Some will use preloaded Safe T Sorb and the others will be ADA Aqua Soil- NEW Amazonia
I also lined each rack with waterproof vinyl
Just incase so water doesnt absorb into the wood.
I will also have a 55g emersed tank under the 40b
Then there be more tanks because ill be moving the rest of my tanks from the house into the room. (beside the nanos)
So it will be packed in there!!!
The shrimp rack has 4ft 2 x T8 on each shelf
Should be enough for mosses/anubias/ferns
I will mod them with some refective tap and maybe a refective shield between the two bulb to add a bit more light If I need it.
All the tanks will have different substrate for each kind of shrimps and 2 sponge filter and a corner filter. Over filter!!!
And the rack near the the couch will be my indoor garden area.
I will have the same lighting fixture over the 40b over this rack but probably 6x bulbs.
Since it will be raised much higher.
So if you've been wondering why i've been super busy and orders havent been shipped out quicker then normal, you know why!!!! :)
Thanks for looking!!!
:proud: Nice one...!
Looking awesome, man.
Whoa man, next time I'm up there, I gotta see this! Looks great, congratulations!
Re: H4N "Planted Tank ROOM"
I'm super excited.
I've been waiting for this day forever!!

Trying to help
|The valve is going to toggle back and forth trying to get to 70 degree cold water, and 105 degree warm water both + or - 10 degrees. As long as you have a water source to both coils it will fill OK. It will just start on the cold solenoid then switch to the hot for the rest of the cycle. If all you have is cold water, use powder and try to run a load with bleach every now and then. Cold water, liquid detergent and washers (especially front loaders) do not get along well.

From The Artists Studio
Commentary by
Susan Hartenstein
RAA contact info:
Phone: 718 474-0861; Fax: 718 474-4373; e-mail: email@example.com ; web-site: www.rockawayartistsalliance.org
Next RAA general meeting: Monday, April 9 @ 7:30 p.m. in building T-149, Fort Tilden, Rockaway Center for the Arts (RoCA).
Guest presenter: Musician/singer/ poet/RAA board member Dan Guarino. All are welcome to the open meeting. Bring your artwork, network with other artists. Come even if you just love the arts and can't paint a lick.
With more than 200 people in attendance, congratulations and thanks go to all the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, donors and contributors responsible for the success of the RAA Spring Fundraiser on March 31. It is not possible to name all those involved. But particular note must be made of a few: Marina Callaghan, Christine Mullally, Terry Collier and Regina Moerdyk organized the event. Ludwig's Catering provided the delicious and beautifully presented food. Jan Nebozenko designed and mounted the lighting. The large loft space was adorned by artwork brought for the occasion by RAA artists. Many works were generously donated for raffle. The dedicated volunteers who performed a variety of tasks, included many of the kidsmART teen assistants and instructors.
Congratulations, once again, to the honorees of the evening - Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer, GNRA Superintendent Lisa Eckert, RAA Vice President Joseph Rothenberg, RAA Educator Khadejah Alleyne and the Rockaway Little League. Though Ms. Pheffer was kept in Albany on government business, her Chief of Staff Joanne Shapiro was a most gracious substitute. Joe Rothenberg, who secured capital funding for RAA expressed the spirit of the organization in his acceptance speech by embracing the other arts partners in Gateway and by humbly saying that the award was not for him, but for everyone in RAA. Khadyjah Alleyne who, over the period of a decade, has developed into a most exemplary instructor, showed in her emotional and heartfelt speech, one of the reasons the RAA education programs are so beloved by the community. She and Bernard Smith performed wonderfully on African drum and guitar, respectively. Megan Courtney was the DJ and emcee who kept the evening a lively pleasure. Geoff Rawling led the tireless team of "schleppers" and hangers. Tim Lawlor, owner of Harbor Wines and Spirits, must be recognized for his generosity in donating this amazing space, known as Loft 181. Located above the liquor store at 181 Beach 116 Street, it is a 5000 square foot newly renovated space, available to commercial entities for lease and rental by the property's owner.
Truly a team effort, the evening was an accomplishment of the families and individual members of our community who gave of their time, talents and money to support the educational programs, exhibitions and performance events of RAA. As we always say, RAA is a family. We are part of the community and the community is part of us.
It is with great regret that RAA sends its deepest condolences to the family of Genevieve Pulkoski. Mother of dedicated RAA member Sophia Pulkoski Skeans, Genevieve has been described by Marina Callaghan as "a bright light, an art enthusiast, a nature lover, a bonne vivante and a valuable member of the Rockaway community." She will be missed by all who knew her. Among those she leaves behind are Sophia and her husband Pat, her son Tom and his wife Laura and grandchildren TJ, Gregg, Steven and Charlotte.
The Rockaway Literary Festival is April 22 - little more than two weeks away. The myriad panel discussions, book signings, bookstore, readings, schoolchildren awards presentations, music and more will extend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Fort Tilden. No matter where you turn that day, you will find something to interest you. Of particular interest to me, especially since I appear in the latest opus of panelist Robert Sarnoff, is the screenwriting panel discussion and film clip screenings. The clips will be from films of the panel members. Rockaway has figured prominently in many of these films. The participating screenwriters have fascinatingly varied careers. Consider, for example, Pamela Popeson, who mixes media by combining video productions with live theater. The Bigger Thing was her first full-length multi-media play, which premiered Off-Off Broadway. It was optioned by True Love Productions for Off-Broadway. She has written a full-length feature film screenplay, Storm 38 . A frequent contributor to NYARTS Magazine and COVER Magazine, Popeson is also a member of the Dramatists Guild of America and The Playwright's Center. Jennifer Callahan is the director of The Bungalows of Rockaway. She has written, directed and held production jobs in television and film. She has also written for a variety of publications. Kevin Breslin is an award-winning filmmaker whose credits include The Women of Rockaway. Brett Morgan is an Oscar-nominated producer/director. His film, T he Kid Stays in the Picture, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
I'm sure I will CU@RoCA, soon.

The decision by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), the employers' organisation, to register with the Electoral Commission as a supporter of the No campaign has shone a spotlight on the role of Scotland's universities in the independence debate. The move aroused suspicions that the CBI might enter the referendum campaign as an active advocate of the union, or that it would help to fund the No campaign.
This has put universities in a difficult position. Many are members of the CBI, but equally they have a duty to remain neutral in the independence referendum campaign. While universities are not under any legal obligation of neutrality, they receive public funds, and it is important that these are not in any way used, or seen to be used, to further a partisan political agenda.
Some of them quickly decided that they could not reconcile this neutrality with membership of a body committed to one side of the debate, and they decided to end their membership. Some public sector bodies and some private sector companies did the same.
Can universities remain non-partisan?
Their decision has thrown into relief the complex position of universities in this campaign. While they have taken great lengths to ensure they are not seen as partisan, they contain people with strong views on both sides of the argument, and can offer expert assessments on many of the issues that have come up. Although they are neutral on the referendum question, they will be affected by the outcome. So how can these tricky currents be most effectively negotiated?
In many ways, the easy bit is managing the issues of most direct interest to universities. These include the question of fees for non-Scottish students, continuing participation in the research system of the existing UK, or academic and student migration across the border and internationally. In 2012, Universities Scotland issued a paper addressing some of these matters and identifying desirable policy measures, while remaining neutral on the outcome of the referendum itself.
Encouraging free debate
The other easy bit has been to do what universities are supposed to do at all times: encourage and stimulate discussion and debate, and allow academics to state their personal views and expert advice freely, while resisting pressures to make any member of the academic community conform to a particular position.
The decision of the CBI to take sides demonstrates the important role universities play in national debate, but it also shows how difficult it is for them to be demonstrably neutral. Staying with the CBI could now be thought to imply a partisan, anti-independence position; leaving might suggest to others a sense of antagonism to the arguments for the union.
Universities need to ensure that they are places in which arguments can be freely debated, and in which popular pressure does not determine decisions before they are appropriately weighed and assessed.
Vice-chancellors and principals who have a personal view on the referendum will need to be careful to separate that from statements made on behalf of their institutions. There is no reason, however, why some of them might not offer their own perspective at some point during the remainder of the campaign.
In the aftermath of the referendum, whichever way the vote goes, universities will have an important role in helping Scotland to thrive in its constitutional setting. Their links and affiliations are of course part of all this. This will sometimes require them to take difficult decisions, some of which may not be made easier by the decisions of bodies of which they are members.
