The Church of England supposedly represents the people of that nation, including every man, child and woman. Well, not exactly every woman in the domain. Its House of Laity voted on the question as to whether a woman could become a bishop, we already know that women view themselves as queens, and the vote to allow female bishops lost by six. Among existing bishops, 44 voted for women to become like them, three voted against and two abstained. Among priests, 148 in favor and 45 against. And, finally, of the laity, 132 were for and 74 against.
One proposal would allow female bishops but give a local parish the right to say no and request a male bishop. That was the final compromise offer, and, of this moment, no female bishops in the church. As we sport fans always say, wait till next year.

Get Involved
The International Division is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with our programs. Volunteering with the division is a great way to work with other planners from around the world, give back to the profession, and develop your leadership skills and professional network.
We currently have the following positions open:
2016 Phoenix Conference Coordinator
The International Division needs a Division member to serve as Conference Coordinator, who can work with us to plan the Division's activities at the 2016 National Planning Conference in Phoenix. We are planning themes relating to rapid urbanization in Latin America cities and Latino immigration to US cities in the Southwest. The Coordinator is responsible for soliciting and reviewing proposals submitted to the Division and (in consultation with the Executive Committee) selecting the Division's by-right technical session, facilitated discussion and mobile workshop events. The Coordinator then ensures that the selected event organizers and speakers meet deadlines and deliver the session. Thus, the job has five steps:
- Solicitation of proposals from division members.
- Review and selection of the division session proposal.
- Communication with other divisions in cases of topic overlap or other issues.
- Follow up with session organizers/moderators to make certain they meet deadlines and understand speaker registration policies.
- Follow up at the conference to make certain speakers have shown up and sessions run smoothly.
For more details, interested Division members will soon be able to access a recorded "getting started" call at the APA conference webpage but, for now, you can call or write the Division Chair, Tim Van Epp, if you want to express interest or have questions (contact information below).
World Town Planning Day Online Conference Liaison
The WTPD Online Conference Liaison serves on the WTPD Online Conference organizing committee on behalf of the International Division. This is an important and rewarding position that will give you the opportunity to collaborate with planning professionals from around the world. You must have a degree of time flexibility in order to accommodate meetings that are scheduled for attendees from around the world. It is possible for the meetings to be very early in the morning or late at night. The committee convenes every year around February or March and run until mid-November. The workload starts off light and increases as the conference date approaches. This position presents a tremendous opportunity to be involved in a major division initiative and to get to know many international planners and projects.
If you are interested in filling any of these positions or have any questions about volunteering with the International Division, please contact Division Chair Tim Van Epp at firstname.lastname@example.com.

According to Fox News:
The Supreme Court will take up California's ban on same-sex marriage, a case that could give the justices the chance to rule on whether gay Americans have the same constitutional right to marry as heterosexuals.The Fox News opening paragraph is a classic example of framing the issue by begging the question. So, rather than swallow the hook, let's ask, "is the right ot marry a constitutional right?" and "is a homosexual right to marry the 'same' constitutional right as the heterosexual right to marry?"
The justices said Friday they will review a federal appeals court ruling that struck down the state's gay marriage ban, though on narrow grounds. The San Francisco-based appeals court said the state could not take away the same-sex marriage right that had been granted by California's Supreme Court.
The court also will decide whether Congress can deprive legally married gay couples of federal benefits otherwise available to married people. A provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act limits a range of health and pension benefits, as well as favorable tax treatment, to heterosexual couples.
The cases probably will be argued in March, with decisions expected by late June.
The answer to both is "no." My initial thought was that the right to marry was not a "constitutional right" - i.e., a right created by the Constitution - but a natural right - a right created by the nature of human beings - which the Supreme Court recognizes that the state has no right to interfere with.
My initial thought is correct. Here is the United States Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down anti-miscegenation statutes:
These statutes also deprive the Lovings of liberty without due process of law in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. HN5The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.So, yes, the right to marry is not a right created by the Constitution. Rather, it is a "vital personal right essntial to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men," i.e., a natural right, although it is passe for a modern court to say "natural right."
Loving v. Va., 388 U.S. 1, 12 (U.S. 1967)
Moreover, it is a natural right because of its role in the preservation of the human race. Again, from Loving:
Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival. Skinner v. Oklahoma, 316 U.S. 535, 541 (1942).See also Maynard v. Hill, 125 U.S. 190 (1888). To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discriminations. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.So, marriage is a basic civil right because it is fundamental to our very existence and our survival. That certainly is the case with respect to heterosexual marriage, because we don't simply abandon children to fend for themselves after birth; rather, we ordinarily rear them within the biological family in which they were born.
Loving v. Va., 388 U.S. 1, 12 (U.S. 1967)
Is that the case with homosexual marriages? Are homosexual marriages ordered to the "very existence and survival" of human beings. Obviously not, unless we are going to indulge in fiction and fantasy, in which case the end of that particular game will be water down the actuality of marriage as 'fundamental to our very existence and survival."
Note further that the Court quite properly describes racial classifications as being unsupportable. Why does it say that? Because when it comes to making babies and raising them, mixed race couples are just as capable of fulfilling that function which is "fundamental to our very existence and survival" as homogenous raced couples.
Also, note how the Court deals with hypocrital illogic of racial classifications:
There is patently no legitimate overriding purpose independent of invidious racial discrimination which justifies this classification. The fact that Virginia prohibits only interracial marriages involving white persons demonstrates that the racial classifications must stand on their own justification, as measures designed to maintain White Supremacy. n11 We have consistently denied the constitutionality of measures which restrict the rights of citizens on account of race. There can be no doubt that restricting the freedom to marry solely because of racial classifications violates the central meaning of the Equal Protection Clause.So, Virginia was perfectly understanding of people who wanted to "mongrelize" any race other than the "white" race. This is obviously the epitome of unequal treatment, which had as its purpose the continued unequal treatment of African-Americans.
n11 Appellants point out that the State's concern in these statutes, as expressed in the words of the 1924 Act's title, "An Act to Preserve Racial Integrity," extends only to the integrity of the white race. While Virginia prohibits whites from marrying any nonwhite (subject to the exception for the descendants of Pocahontas), Negroes, Orientals, and any other racial class may intermarry without statutory interference. Appellants contend that this distinction renders Virginia's miscegenation statutes arbitrary and unreasonable even assuming the constitutional validity of an official purpose to preserve "racial integrity." We need not reach this contention because we find the racial classifications in these statutes repugnant to the Fourteenth Amendment, even assuming an even-handed state purpose to protect the "integrity" of all races.
Loving v. Va., 388 U.S. 1, 11-12 (U.S. 1967)
So, is homosexual marriage a "natural right" in the sense that homosexual marriage is " fundamental to our very existence and survival"? Well, given the fact that mankind has managed to muddle through the last 100,000 years without homosexual marriage, and given the notorious sterility of homosexual unions, the answer seems fairly obvious.
Not that we shouldn't expect the court to find that times have changed.

/// Electronic Arts' Top Retail Partner? Apple.
The Simpsons: Tapped Out by Electronic Arts For games publisher Electronic Arts, brick-and-mortar stores have historically generated the bulk of its sales. But not anymore. Reporting first-quarter earnings this week, EA said that digital sales have surpassed those made through physical outlets. The company's top retail partner for the period? Not GameStop. Not Walmart. Not Amazon. Apple. "Our quarter was notable for its strong digital sales," EA COO Peter Moore explained . "To that end, Apple was EA's biggest retail partner as measured by sales. That is a first." That's quite a milestone for EA and Apple, both. Remember, EA is the world's third-largest gaming company. Moore didn't say exactly how much revenue Apple was responsible for. But, of $495 million in total revenue EA posted for the quarter, $378 million was digital, and $90 million of that originated on smartphones and tablets. So, some portion of that. Not a huge number, but big enough, and one that speaks to Apple's growing importance in the gaming space
Electronic Arts' Top Retail Partner? Apple.

"Your child has Type 1 diabetes"
Those are six words that no parent wants to hear. Those six words were a death sentence 90 years ago before the advent of insulin.
Today, most of the developed world has insulin to treat diabetes, but those six words are still a death sentence in most impoverished, undeveloped, and underdeveloped places on the globe. There is simply not the infrastructure to either transport or store the lifesaving medication in a cool environment. Insulin needs to be kept cool to keep it from breaking down and becoming worthless.
If poverty is an issue, sometimes a choice has to be made between feeding the entire family and saving that child's life with expensive insulin.
What a horrible choice to have forced upon you.
In those portions of the world, parents hear "Your child has type 1 diabetes and there is nothing we can do about it. Your child is going to die."
We can help change that. The IDF (International Diabetes Foundation) is working to change that with their Life for a Child Program. This program demonstrates how as little as $1 can save a child's life by providing that lifesaving treatment.
This year, you asked to simply buy one less rose for Valentine's Day and donate the difference to save a child's life. Please consider doing this and make a donation here.
Now, those of you who know me know that I tend to be a little more brusque than some people. Because of that I say "Screw the roses. Let's help a lot of children this Valentine's Day instead".

How do I get rid of Babylon from my computer?

How-To Geek Forums / Geek Stuff
Babylon(5 posts)
trepid, have you tried "Revo Uninstaller" it's free http://download.cnet.com/Revo-.....87648.html
You can also try to perform the Revo Uninstall operation in Safe Mode. Babylon should not be loaded there.
Boot to Safe Mode
When you boot up before it starts Windows and after the initial BIOS checks, hit the F8 key several times. The start of Windows is usually accompanied by a single Beep. If normal Windows comes up try, try again. A Black screen with choices should come up, choose Safe Mode.
See https://community.mcafee.com/thread/43842 also for a discussion of the Babylon stuff. Pretty enlightening.

Romans receives Big Sport of Turfdom Award
TUCSON, Ariz. – Dale Romans, trainer of Breeders' Cup Turf winner Little Mike, was presented with the Big Sport of Turfdom Award on Wednesday at a luncheon held during the University of Arizona Global Symposium on Racing and Gaming.
The award, presented by the Turf Publicists of America, is given to an individual who has worked with publicists and the media to promote the sport. In an acceptance speech, Romans said that he was honored to receive the award, citing the other individuals who had received it before him.
But Romans also said that his cooperation with journalists during the year was a labor of love.
"At first, I was thinking why would they give me an award for talking about horses?" he said. "That's all I know how to talk about and all I want to talk about."
Horses trained by Romans have won 20 graded stakes this year. In addition to Little Mike, the graded stakes winners include Shackleford, Dullahan, and Tapitsfly.
Also at the Wednesday luncheon, Sherwood Chillingworth, executive vice president of the Oak Tree Racing Association, was presented the Clay Puett Award for lifetime service to racing. The award is presented by the Race Track Industry Program at the University of Arizona.
In a speech, Chillingworth thanked the RTIP for designating him for the honor, but he said he also believed the award "was designed to honor Oak Tree itself." Oak Tree operated a not-for-profit lease at Santa Anita Park for 42 years before its lease was canceled in 2011 by the track's owner, a company controlled by Frank Stronach.
◗ Earlier this week, the Turf Publicists of America, which represents approximately 150 racing publicists, elected Mandy Minger, the vice president of marketing for Daily Racing Form , to be the organization's president for a two-year term.
Congrats to one of the best in the business.
Well-deserved award. He's always available to the media and the public, loves horses and talking about horses, and is a pretty darn good horseman to boot. Eclipse Award should follow.
Couldn't happen to a nicer man!
Dale Romans is truly a great horseman, Congratulations to him, his wife, kids and the rest of the team. Hope to see you win the Kentucky Derby soon.
Well deserved and more Awards on the way.

One more hospital hurdle cleared
One of three final hurdles to selling Haywood Regional Medical Center to Duke LifePoint Healthcare was cleared Monday when the county commissioners signed off on the agreement.
The deal will go before the Haywood Regional Medical Center Board of Commissioners at 6 p.m. Thursday, and once N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper approves an agreement between Duke LifePoint and WestCare, the long anticipated sales can be completed.
Details are unknown concerning the sale of WestCare facilities in Jackson and Swain counties, but the Haywood medical facilities agreement is a public document because the hospital operated as a public nonprofit organization.
Duke LifePoint Healthcare has processes in place to ensure a smooth transition, David Dill, president and chief operating officer of LifePoint Hospitals, told the county commissioners Monday evening, and is committed to continuing core services, the county's indigent policy and investing capital in the community to grow services.
The hospital will become a taxpayer in the community, including paying property, income and sales taxes.
The negotiated sales price for the Haywood Regional Medical Center Hospital and associated facilities is $29.1 million, but many expenses and the hospital authority's unpaid debt must be covered by that amount.
The commissioners had few questions for the hospital executives at the meeting.
"It's not that we aren't interested, but we've been at this a long time in many work sessions and many meetings," said Commission Chairman Mark Swanger.
Here's what key players at Monday's meeting had to say about the agreement.
David Dill, president and chief operating officer of LifePoint Hospitals
"We are a for-profit company, but have never have paid dividends. Our investors believe the best way to enhance long-term value is to invest proceeds in our communities to grow and expand."
Dr. Harry Phillips, chief medical officer, Duke Medicine
"We have a track record of elevating patient safety and quality. We reduced harms in our hospitals by over 40 percent. … We will bring a quality program to your hospital. We recognize employees as a valuable asset and want to continue to advance Haywood Regional's status as an employer of choice.
Jeff Seraphine, president, Eastern Group, LifePoint Hospitals
"We will be working with your hospital to mirror what is happening in Haywood with best processes all across the country. We have 450 people at our hospital support center and 50 to 60 at Duke looking at what is happening in Haywood — how can we add value and help you achieve your vision for health care."
Commission Vice Chairman Kirk Kirkpatrick
"I appreciate all you have done. I was out there the night of the fire. I was impressed with what our administrators did and what the county folks did that night. I appreciate Duke LifePoint providing support and that you continued staying involved with the purchase despite this."
Commissioner Michael Sorrells
"This has been a long process and it an exciting time for Haywood County. It has been a struggle for several years for our hospital and this is a wonderful opportunity."
Commissioner Bill Upton
"I've looked at a lot of documents but have never looked at one as thorough as this one."
Commissioner Kevin Ensley
"What interested me was the way the hospital came about. The county stood behind the bonds but never paid any taxes for it."

MLB and players union agree to random in-season HGH testing
Baseball will expand its drug-testing program to include in-season testing for human growth hormone (HGH) and testosterone, according to the New York Times. The league and players union reached a deal which is expected to be officially announced on Thursday during the owners meetings.
Random, unannounced tests will begin this season, and punishments will be the same as those for steroids: a 50-game suspension for the first positive test, a 100-game suspension for the second positive test and a lifetime ban after a third positive test.
MLB agreed to begin testing for HGH in November 2011 but only in spring training and the offseason; there were concerns that player performance would be affected by blood tests before or after regular season games. The new agreement also includes a new testing procedure for testosterone -- establishing baseline levels of the substance in players and citing them for a positive test if there is a substantially higher amount in their system.

April 12, 2003
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee upped its overall meet win total to seven with three relay wins Saturday to close this chapter of the 37th Sea Ray Relays at Tom Black Track. Led by two dominant relay wins from the Tennessee distance corps and a stirring comeback in the shuttle hurdle relay, the Vols tripled the relay title haul of any other team.
While the 37th chapter of the Sea Ray Relays story on the men's side wasn't quite as earth-rattling as last year's edition, Saturday brought more high-caliber competition and beautiful conditions befitting the spring classic of the Volunteers. Still, for the first time in a while, no men's meet records fell by the wayside.
Tennessee hurdler Jabari Greer and unattached pole vaulter Tim Mack won Tony Wilson Awards for track and field, respectively, given to the most outstanding Sea Ray Relays performers in each event area. Greer won the 110m hurdles Friday in a lifetime-best 13.67 time, the second-fastest by a collegian and third-fastest by an American this year entering this weekend's meets. He also made up a 10-meter deficit to lead Tennessee to the shuttle hurdle relay title in 55.17, the second-fastest collegiate time this season. Mack, a former Vol NCAA champion, cleared 18-8.75 to win the invitational pole vault and meet the 'A' standard for the World Championships. His clearance also stands as the second-highest this year by an American entering this weekend's meets.
"We had a good day here to close Sea Rays, especially our distance guys," head coach Bill Webb said. "Sometimes guys like Kenny Schappert tend to shine when you put a baton in their hand. Unfortunately, Rocky (Danners) cramped and couldn't get the stick around in the 4x100m relay. That was a disappointment for the fans and his teammates. I'd have to count up all the lifetime and season bests, but there were many. We keep making progress in some areas. It was a good meet for Tennessee, and I look forward to two weeks of training before the Penn Relays."
Both of Tennessee's distance relay winners were blowouts. In the 4x1,500m relay, Tennessee won the race by about 65 meters and 11 seconds. Rob Cloutier led off for the Vols, mounting a strong move on the last lap to open up a 25-meter advantage at the handoff to Tim Kelly. Kelly handed off to Cordis Stanfield with the Vols a stride or two behind the leaders. Stanfield held his own and kept with the lead pack. On the anchor, Farragut native Eric Bell roared to the front and kept opening the gap the remainder of his leg to secure Tennessee's first 4x1,500m relay win at Sea Rays since 1991.
"Coach [Watts] told me to go out smart," anchor leg Bell said. "I was lucky because the other guys [on the relay] helped set me up. It was really good to see the Vol distance guys win the 4x800 and 4x1,500."
The Vols weren't worried about breaking a drought in the 4x800m relay at Sea Rays, as they won the event just last year and in 2001. However, the desire to repeat proved enough as Tennessee took its third consecutive Sea Ray 4x800m relay title in 7:28.04 on the able running of Joakim Daun, Kenny Schappert, Marc Sylvester and Frank Francois. Daun and Schappert kept the Vols in the mix until Sylvester took the stick. Making amends for getting boxed in the 800m run Friday night, Sylvester raced out to a 20-meter lead at the final handoff to anchor Frank Francois. Francois turned it on from the outset and increased the lead to the winning margin of about 30 meters and five seconds.
"It was great to get the win at home," anchor leg Francois said. "It definitely helps to have friends and family out here. My goal was to get out hard and win the race. I knew the Georgetown guy behind me was an excellent runner. I expected to get the stick with the lead with Marc [Sylvester] running before me and the other guys running so well."
On the east straightaway bordering Volunteer Boulevard, the Vols also had a shuttle hurdle relay title from 2002 to defend. Karl Jennings, Stephen Harris, Robert Boulware and Jabari Greer took the win in 55.17, the Vols' season-best time and second-fastest collegiate time of the season. With Tennessee down about 10 meters to hurdle power South Carolina when Greer exploded from the blocks on the anchor leg, the dual sport star from Jackson steadily ate away the Gamecock advantage over the 110-meter length of the race. The final results revealed Greer had nipped the Gamecocks by six-hundredths of a second.
"I felt like I was given a gift and had to go out and do it," Greer said. "Our preparation allowed us to go out and capture the title. I'm glad we did it as a team. We didn't want to settle for second."
However, Tennessee hit a patch of bad luck in the 4x100m relay, one of its strong suits. While Gary Kikaya was being held out for precautionary reasons, alternate Rocky Danners left his pole vault warm up to lead off the Vol speed quartet. Coming around the northeast turn, Danners locked up with a hamstring cramp and couldn't get the baton to Greer on the second leg. Sean Lambert and Jonathan Wade awaited the stick on the third and fourth legs. Danners also had to withdraw from the invitational pole vault.
In the field, captain Stephen Harris took second with a wind-aided 24-9.25 long jump, oddly one of the few wind-aided marks of the week despite often ugly weather. Junior Leigh Smith cranked out five-feet of improvement on his season-best javelin mark with a fourth-place, 223-7 effort, also a regional qualifier. Also, late Friday night, Josh Whisman improved his lifetime best mark in the hammer throw once again with an eighth-place, 188-5 regional qualifier.
Tennessee takes a needed week off for training and healing before turning north for the Penn Relays in two weeks.

More Tips:
1. Patients with hypertension or heart disease need to bath in hot spring following the doctors' suggestions. 120 minutes is the upper time limit. Besides, when you get out of the pool, you need to slow down to avoid the dizziness caused by angiectasis. 2. Some people having skin diseases should not stay long time in the hot spring. Although the water is good for your skin but it is not good for pruritus and eczema. If you have the atopic dermatitis, the hot spring will make your symptom worse since the water could accelerate the evaporation of the moisture content of your skin. 3. Don't bath in the hot spring with metal trinkets to avoid the trinkets'vulcanization. 4. Don't bath with an empty or too full stomach. At the same time, remember to drink more water to replenish moisture content in your body. 5. Choose a spring pool whose temperature is most suitable for you——touch the water by hand or feet to feel the temperature. Bathing in the pool for 15~20 minutes per time is better. 6. Don't stay too long in the water, otherwise you'll feel thirsty, dizzy and sense of suppression in the chest. 7. Since there are plenty of mineral substances in the water, you'd better don't use bath foams during shower to keep the beneficial mineral substances on your skin. 8. Please close your eyes, peace your heart and slow down your breath to release yourself from pressure. 9. Please prepare your own equipments for swimming, or buy them in the store here.

1. If you had the opportunity, who's one person you would love to meet? I don't want this to sound bad, but in 25 years in the media I've
had so many chances to meet amazing folks that I can't really think of someone I would go out of my way to meet. My belief is that
if it was someone I was a big fan of or admired, I would risk the fact that they couldn't live up to my version of them.
2. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Ice cream is probably my favorite dessert, so it's impossible to pick one flavor. I can say that
my current fave is anything with salted caramel in it. (As long as it isn't also coffee flavored. Yuck!)
3. What store is your favorite for shopping? If it's clothes, the Lucky Store or Banana Republic. I also love any independent record store & the Apple Store.
4. What song makes you feel happy? Too many to mention. My current guilty pleasure song that I always
turn up is Lights by Ellie Goulding.
5. Do you make friends easily? No, but it's my choice. When I'm at a party or other social function, I tend to be gregarious & get along with folks, but as far as allowing people into my real life & being a true friend? That takes time. I can count the people I consider my real friends on just over one hand.

I'm a very out going active person. I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends. I'm a very creative person. I enjoy crafting, drawing, painting, going for walks, and being out doors. I'm looking for a job where I can help others and positively influence them in their lives. I would make a good compainon for the elderly because I am very patient, empathetic, and kind hearted. I feel that these days elderly people are not treated as well as they should be. Sometimes they just need someone to stop and smell the roses with them. Many of them have lost their spouses and their children are grown and have their own lives, and they become lonely, not by fault of anyone, but I would like to be someone that can be there for them when their loved ones can't. I feel that they would be able to positively influence me as well. I love listening to old stories they might tell.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Kevin DrumNov. 3, 2008 1:55 AM
THE FUTURE....So what does the political world look like on Wednesday if the gurus at ABC News are right? They all announced their guesses Sunday morning, and the average of their projections is 352 electoral votes for Obama plus a pickup for the Democrats of 24 seats in the House and 7 or 8 seats in the Senate.
If this happens, the upshot is that both parties get moved to the right. Most of the Democratic pickups will be in centrist states and districts, which will move the Democratic caucus moderately toward the center. At the same time, it will remove these centrist states and districts from the Republican side, which will make the GOP caucus not just smaller, but even more conservative than it is now. As a touchstone, the Republican Study Committee, the hardcore conservative wing of the House GOP contingent, currently represents a little over half of their total strength. After Tuesday they're likely to represent nearly two-thirds, which means that the rump of the House Republican caucus remaining after Tuesday is likely to be almost entirely in the hands of the most faithful of the movement conservative faithful. These true believers are not likely to give in quickly to the notion that hardcore conservative ideology needs a bit of freshening up if the party wants to regain its competitive edge. On the contrary, they'll probably double down, convinced that they lost only because John McCain and George Bush abandoned the true faith that America truly yearns for.
Will these folks rally around Sarah Palin as their conservative savior? I continue to see that as unlikely, but who knows? Desperate people do desperate things, and there's no telling if they'll somehow convince themselves that she represents their future.
Anyway, consider this an open thread. I'm not saying anything original here, just sort of noodling about how long it's going to take for the Republican Party to start making a comeback after their losses this year. My guess is that the business wing of the party will become (partly, reluctantly) reconciled to a Democratic majority, if for no other reason than self-preservation, which will leave the evangelical/Southern wing of the party in effective control. And if that turns out to be the case, the GOP is in for a very, very long stay in the wilderness.

According to the Pentagon at least 10 percent of returning reservists and national guardsmen and women have reported problems with their jobs, lost pay, demotions, loss of employment altogether after deployment. This despite the fact that they are protected under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, which guarantees their jobs upon return. A 60 Minutes piece tonight detailed this growing problem citing employment lawsuits pending against Wal-Mart, UPS, and American Airlines, among others.
And with regular deployments for guard and reservist platoons now scheduled for every five years, 1.2 million guard and reservists, 45 percent of the military, are now in regular rotation. Military leaders are calling this a more appropriate use of military services, in other words, a bargain. Business owners in turn are asking why they should be heavily subsidizing the military. Really this is another way of outsourcing our military. This time it's the businesses employing the reservists who are footing the bill for non-full time warriors who need to come home to benefits and open jobs deployment after deployment. Without a draft, and unless we're going to turn over operations to Blackwater, such outsourcing is becoming the norm in our deficit- and war-ridden situation.
Still, if you are a national guard or reservist and you are having a problem with your employer, the assistant secretary of defense, Thomas Hall, pledged on 60 Minutes tonight that he'll see to it that your case gets the proper attention. His number is 703-697-6631.

Why did Obama boot reporters from the New York Post, the Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News last week? It's not quite the uniting move, but at this stage the demand for seats is at a premium so some folks just had to go. All of these papers' editorial boards have endorsed John McCain, so it may or may not be a coincidence, but either way, Drudge pounced on the move to swap reporters out for "network bigwigs," instead of adding a second plane. The Obama campaign insists that the move was strategic, to "reach as many swing voters as we can."
It may not matter a lick in the long run, but Fox et al are outraged. At this point the angry right is grasping at everything, like Obama's press conference comment that inspired the RNC's Audacity Watch this morning. Is this not the same "arrogance" shown when the candidates are introduced as the "next president of the United States" at their conventions and rallies? What voter wants to support a candidate who doesn't think he'll win?

Kevin DrumNov. 2, 2008 3:04 PM
QUOTE OF THE DAY....From Syrian ambassador Imad Moustapha, in an interview with Foreign Policy magazine:
"I have reason to believe that even if McCain becomes president of the United States, he will also be inclined to sit and talk with Syria. I can tell you this on the record: Senator Joe Lieberman, who is supposed to be very close to McCain, has said this explicitly and very clearly to me personally."
That's good to hear. I wonder why McCain's supporters seem so reticent to say the same thing publicly?
Kevin DrumNov. 2, 2008 1:28 PM
2004 vs. 2008....Back in 2004, I remember at least a few bloggers and pundits arguing that liberals would be better off if John Kerry lost. I never really bought this, but the arguments were pretty reasonable. Leaving George Bush in power meant that he'd retain responsibility and blame for the Iraq war. (Despite the surge, that's exactly what happened.) Four more years of Republican control would turn the American public firmly against conservative misrule. (Actually, it only took two years.) If we waited, a better candidate than Kerry would come along. (Arguably, both Hillary Clinton and Obama were better candidates.)
Conversely, it's unlikely that John Kerry could have gotten much done with a razor-thin victory and a Congress still controlled by the GOP. What's more, there's a good chance that the 2006 midterm rebellion against congressional Republicans wouldn't have happened if Kerry had gotten elected. By waiting, we've gotten a strong, charismatic candidate who's likely to win convincingly and have huge Democratic majorities in Congress behind him. If he's willing to fully use the power of his office, Obama could very well be a transformational president.
So: were we, in fact, better off losing in 2004? The downside was four more years of George Bush and Dick Cheney. That's hardly to be minimized, especially since the upside is still not completely knowable. But for myself, I think I'm convinced. The cause of liberal change is better served by Obama in 2008 than it would have been by Kerry in 2004. Comments?
Jonathan SteinNov. 2, 2008 12:52 PM
Barack Obama, on the fact that Dick Cheney has come out for John McCain:
"With John McCain you get a twofer: George Bush's economic policy and Dick Cheney's foreign policy."
Oh snap, as they say.
Kevin DrumNov. 2, 2008 12:40 PM
VOTER REGISTRATION....Matt Yglesias seconds Rick Hasen's proposal to make ACORN's registration drives (and the quadrennial conservative meltdown over them) obsolete by just having the federal government do it:
The solution is to take the job of voter registration for federal elections out of the hands of third parties (and out of the hands of the counties and states) and give it to the federal government....The next president should propose legislation to have the Census Bureau, when it conducts the 2010 census, also register all eligible voters who wish to be registered for future federal elections....When people submit change-of-address cards to the post office, election officials would also change their registration information.
I'd go even further: implement a national ID and give one to everybody, free of charge. You get it when you turn 18 (or whatever), and you get a free update every five years (or whatever). Post offices would handle most of the work, and roving mobile vans would trek through rural areas periodically to make sure everyone has easy access to whichever federal agency is tasked with providing the cards. Instead of simply requiring people to have picture IDs, the federal government would do everything it could to make sure everyone actually has a picture ID, with as little hassle as possible. Once this was in place, everyone with an ID could vote on election day unless they were barred for some affirmative reason, which might still vary from state to state. No registration required.
This wouldn't be perfect. Nothing is perfect. But it would be a damn sight closer than the squirrelly system we have today, and the only real objection to it is that, by God, Americans will never accept national ID cards. No "showing of papers" here in the land of the free!
But this is ridiculous. For all practical purposes we already have a national ID system. The feds require virtually everyone to have a Social Security number, and virtually all state ID cards are based on that number. Your name is already in a zillion public and private databases keyed to your SSN number, and one more won't really change things much. You won't be required to show your papers any more than you already are. It will just be easier, cheaper, and more consistent for everyone including students, the elderly, the poor, and minorities which should make liberals happy. And if the govenrment affirmatively generates IDs free of charge for everyone, then there's no objection to requiring ID at polling places which should make conservatives happy.
Which, come to think of it, is one reason we'll probably never do it. For a lot of people, it would take all the fun out of presidential elections.
Kevin DrumNov. 2, 2008 1:39 AM
DST HELL....Time to reset all the clocks again. Let's see. Garage: two cars and the sprinkler timer. Living room: clock, VCR, thermostat. Kitchen: oven, microwave. Study: computer, two clocks, fax machine, telephone. Guest room: clock, VCR. Sewing room: clock, computer, VCR. Master bedroom: three clocks, VCR, Mac notebook, several watches. Also the cell phones, but they reset themselves.
Is that all? I think that's all. I'm probably wrong, though. There are probably several more I'm forgetting about.
Kevin DrumNov. 1, 2008 12:47 PM
QUESTION OF THE DAY....Are avocados good for you? Well, are they? Really?
They're full of fat, of course. But wait! It's good fat. So maybe we're talking about a fair number of calories, but no artery clogging badness. Right?
But are avocados actively good for you, or is it just a case of not being especially harmful? If you had to choose between, say, an apple and an avocado, which one would be healthier? Does adding avocado to a turkey sandwich make it better for you? Worse? No difference? Can I really grow my own avocado tree by sticking toothpicks in an avocado pit and letting it soak in a jar of water?
The fine folks at avocado.org inform me that avocados are rich in beta-sitosterol and carotenoid lutein and better for me than cheddar cheese. Well, duh. Unfortunately, they might be just the teeniest bit biased about the wonderfulness of avocados. So for a straight answer I turn to you, my loyal blog readers. How about it?

Afternoon analysis 11.04.2016:
Market sentiment improved on Monday. The EUR/USD stabilized in a narrow range. The zloty exploited an opportunity to gain. Dovish comments from the MPC did not affect the zloty.
On Monday a positive sentiment prevailed in the markets. Stocks and commodities gained. The factor that added to positive sentiment was a broad strengthening of the pound. The sterling recouped losses incurred due to anxiety the UK may leave the EU. However, today there was no factor that would change the situation in the UK, thus the move may be only a speculative rebound.
After a brief decline the oil price resumed gains. In the morning the commodity dropped due to the information that Iraq increased output to record 4.55 million barrels per day (Bloomberg source). The nation is the second largest oil producer in the OPEC cartel. As a result, the decision of Baghdad is crucial in the context of the oil producing countries meeting scheduled April 17. Counties associated in the OPEC cartel and other oil producers will take part in the talks.
The Iraq's decision to increase the output limit may limit the probability that there will be a final agreement to freeze the production at the January level. During last few weeks the expectation that oil producers will cut supply has been the major factor responsible for the oil price rebound.
However, in the second part of the session the commodity resumed gains as Venezuela said that the major goal of the coming meeting is to limit production. The commodity market was supported due to broad sentiment improvement as the dollar stabilized. The Chinese reports were helpful as the readings showed rebound in the producer prices, which may suggest the economy is gaining pace.
Rising oil price supported the commodity currencies. The Russian rubble managed to extend the winning streak against the dollar. The Canadian dollar and the Norwegian crown also gained. Eventually, all emerging market currencies posted gains today.
The zloty gained against the euro
Eryk Lon from the MPC said he is ready to support interest rate cuts if the deflationary pressure holds (source PAP). He said a weaker zloty is positive for the economy. Eryk Lon added he may support unorthodox monetary policy tools if they suit the Polish circumstances. Lon asked about possible rating cut by the Moody's agency advised to stay calm.
Moreover, Jerzy Zyzynski from the MPC presented a similarly loose stance (source: Bloomberg). He said that it would be appropriate to start discussion on interest rate cuts within a few months. In addition Zyzynski said that in his view the central bank should support the economy in a larger extent.
In March the inflation rate stood at negative 0.9 percent in line with the flash estimate. The major factor responsible for prices drop was cheap gasoline. Moreover, clothes prices and energy prices declined significantly.
The zloty had a good start of the week. The Polish currency gained against the euro, the dollar and the franc. Only the pound moved higher. Today's comments from the MPC member have not affect the zloty as their view is in the minority. The zloty may stabilize with a tendency to gain.

Hello ladies and gents!
If you are reading through Google Reader or some other reader, please click through!
I went away with my old design for something cleaner and less busy. This is not the end, I may play with it more, but what do you think of the simple design? If you look closely at the header, you'll notice that the font has a city skyline. Constructive criticism is wanted!
Throughout the next week or so, I plan to continue to update the bloggy while I'm still off work. I can't remember the last time I updated my "About" page and the sidebar picture is way outdated as well.
Tonight, Todd and I went for a 3 mile loop and walked along Lake Erie. Seriously, I love living in Cleveland for this reason. Being close to the lake is so lovely!
The waves were crashing hard tonight. Reminded me of the waves in Florida during Debby Downer.
I hope you have a lovely Friday and a weekend of relaxation. Be sure to come back on Monday! I have a really fun giveaway planned! I'll give you a hint: It involves bears. Any guesses?
P.S. I saw this posted on Facebook and had to giggle.

Located directly on the Strand at the corner of Savoy Court, this beautiful shop is The Savoy's take-away, gourmet counter. Open seven days a week, the menu at Melba is created by our fabulous executive pastry chef, Ludwig Hely. You will find a selection of sweet and savoury pastries, British sandwich classics, hot and cold beverages to take away, along with Savoy gift items and an extensive selection of a new hotel signature item... éclairs.Melba at The Savoy is named in honour of two greats: in the late 1800s, one Savoy executive chef was so enchanted by Savoy guest and Australian operatic soprano, Dame Nellie Melba, that he created menu items which have become cherished the world-over. Extolled for over 100 years both in the public and industry eye, Auguste Escoffier created both Peach Melba and Melba toast for the singer. The gourmet counter is a striking and elegant juxtaposition to the existing shops on the Strand, and complement to The Savoy's existing collection of food and beverage outlets. Melba's interior design clearly defined by The Savoy's restoration and incorporates the same striking black and white marble flooring, with hand-carved woodwork interiors and grey Italian marble counter tops.
