If you link your Spiceworks to AD then all that information comes through. I added a plugin that shows all that information on the right-hand pane of of ticket. If you are interested in learning more about that, let me know and I will track down the name/link.

Thanks Lauren. I would be interested in the plugin.


text: Sorry but I must call you on the use a hand mixer. This leaves the potatoes with a gelatinous texture like poi. Mashed potatoes should only be mashed with a potato masher to preserve the texture of the Russet potato. Even better it should be coarsely mashed so there are still small chunks of un-mashed potato.View Instructable »

My mom, dad, brother and I went to the beach and had a very unpleasant surprise. There were red flags on the beach which meant that there was a very bad riptide. That meant that we could only go in up to our knees in the water, and the lifeguards had their work ...
32 hours of sailing
We went back on shift at 8am still moving down the NJ shore. After Eric and Martin did some chart consulting we headed towards Ocean City, MD. It took another 7.5 hours of motor sailing. The weather today was glorious with warmer temperatures and bright sunshine reaching 70 degrees. We encountered several pods of dolphin very close to the boat. We docked at Ocean City near 3:15 having been underway ...
Change of scenery
... to keep their charm despite being loved to death by hoards of visitors. It is unlikely we will return - there are still too many places on our list of "must sees".
Our journey today crossed 3 states - started in North Carolina, broke for lunch in Virginia and ended in Maryland. Not much of note except for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge - Tunnel. Not very visually exciting but a major feat ...
This morning, woke up at 7:00am and Legend was ready to go outside. Beautiful brisk morning. I have on pants and jacket. The sun feels good! Legend is getting used to going to the bathroom with cars buzzing by on the highway. Jess and I spent some time today at the outlet mall next to the hotel browsing. We tried a very popular seafood restaurant this evening too. It was crowded at 5:30 with a 20 minute wait....when we left, the wait was over an hour. It's ...
Our day in Rehoboth Beach begins
Ryan and I awoke early and headed outside with Legend. The air is brisk....I had my jacket on and Ryan wished he wore his. Invigorating and awesome!! We had breakfast and coffee and are preparing for the day. I will work from the lobby for a few hours and Ryan may have to go to his testing for work soon. Matt and Jess are still ...

Speech Act Theory (cont) • Aspects of a speech act: – Locution, the physical utterance by the speaker – Illocution, the intended meaning of the utterance by the speaker – Perlocution, the action that results from the locution • In communication among agents, we want to insure there is no doubt about the message type • Speech act theory uses performative to identify the illocutionary force • Helps define the type of message Speech Act Theory (cont.d) In FIPA ACL: • Locution refers to formulation of an utterance • Illocution refers to a categorization of an utterance from the speaker's point of view (e.g. question, command) • Perlocution refers to the other intended effects on the hearer, i.e., updating of the hearer's mental attitudes. Types of Communicative Acts • • • • • • Assertives which inform: The door is shut Directives which request: Shut the door – or query: Can pelicans fly? Commissives which promise something: I will shut the door Permissives which give permission for an act: You may shut the door Prohibitives which ban some act: You may not shut the door Declaratives which cause events in themselves: I name this door the Golden Gate • Expressives which express emotions and evaluations: I wish this door were the Golden Gate Communication Actions A ction Illocutionary force E xpected resu lt A ssertion Inform A cceptance Q uery Q uestion R eply R eply Inform A cceptance R equest R equest E xplanation Inform C o m m and R equest P erm ission Inform A cceptance R efusal O ffer/bid A cceptance Inform Inform A cceptance A cceptance A greem ent Assumptions of FIPA ACL • The agents are communicating at a higher level of discourse, i.e. the contents of the communication are meaningful statements about the agent's environment or knowledge. • This assumption differentiates agent communication from other interaction mechanisms, such as method invocation in CORBA • Abstract characterization of agent's capabilities in terms of mental attitudes. *beliefs denote set of propositions (statements that can be true or false) which the agent currently accepts as true *Uncertainty, denotes sets of propositions an agent accepts as not known as to be false or true *Intention, which denotes a choice or set of properties the agent desires to be true and which are not currently believed to be true. An agent which adopts an intention will form a plan of action to bring about the state of the world indicated by his choice. Set of requirements for FIPA ACL compliant agents Requirement 1: Agents should send "not understood" if they receive a message they do not understand; agents must also be able to handle properly a "not understood" message sent by another agent to them Requirement 2: An ACL compliant agent may chose to implement any subset of the pre-defined message types and protocols. Set of requirements for FIPA ACL compliant agents, cont. Requirement 3: An ACL compliant agent, which uses the FIPA-defined communicative acts, must implement them correctly with respect to their definition Requirement 4: Agents may use communicative acts with other names, as long as they are responsible for ensuring the receiving agent will understand them; agents may not define new acts whose meaning is same as a pre-defined meaning. Requirement 5: An ACL compliant agent must be able to generate syntactically correct messages, and parse well formed messages it receives. Overview ACL example (inform :sender agent1 :receiver hp1-auction-server :content (price (bid good02) 150) :in-reply-to round-4 :reply-with bid04 :protocol Auction :language sl :ontology hp1-auction ) Pre-defined Message Parameters :sender :receiver :content :reply-with :in-reply-to :envelope :language :ontology :reply-by :protocol :conversation-id Requirement on Content Language A content language must be able to express propositions, objects/entities, and actions. No other properties are required. •The FIPA specification does not mandate the use of any specific content language. •The FIPA spec gives guidelines for simple syntax, e.g.— s-expressions are admissible as legal ACL messages Primitive and Composite Communicative Acts (CA's) • Primitive CA's are those whose actions are defined atomically • Composite CA's are composed by one of the following methods: • • • making one CA the object of another (e.g.. "I request you to inform me whether it is raining") using the compositional operator ";" to sequence actions (e.g. a ; b means action a followed by action b) using the compositional operator "!" to denote a nondeterministic choice of action (e.g. a ! b means a or b but not both) Catalogue of Communicative Acts Accept-proposal: accepting a previously submitted proposal to perform an action in the future, e.g. when a stated precondition becomes true (e.g. (accept-proposal :sender I :receiver j :in-reply-to bid089 :content ( (action j (stream-content moview1234 19)) (B j (ready customer78)) ) "language sl) Catalogue of Communicative Acts (cont.) agree: agreeing to perform some action, possibly in the future cancel: cancelling a previously requested action which has temporal extent cfp: the action of calling for proposals to performa a given action confirm: sender informs the receiver that a given proposition is true, where the receiver is known to be uncertain about the proposition disconfirm: the sender informs the receiver that a give proposition is false, where the receiver is known to believe, or believe it likely that a proposition is true. Catalogue of Communicative Acts (cont.) inform: the sender informs the receiver that a given proposition is true *the sending agent (a) holds that some proposition is true (b) intends that the receiving agent also comes to believe that the proposition is true (c) does not already believe that the receiver has any knowledge of the truth of the proposition *the receiving agent is entitled to believe (a) the sender believes the proposition (b) the sender wishes the receiver to believe the proposition also Catalogue of Communicative Acts (cont.) failure: the action of telling the receiver that an action was attempted but failed inform-if: a macro action for the agent of the action to inform the recipient of whether or not a proposition is true (e.g. Agent I requests j to inform it whether Katia is in Pittsburgh) inform-ref: a macro action for sender to inform the receiver the object which corresponds to a definite description (e.g. a name) not-understood: the sender k informs the receiver j that it perceived that j performed some actin but k does not understand what j did (a common case is when k tells j it does not understand the message that j sent to k) Catalogue of Communicative Acts (cont.) propose: the action of submitting a proposal to perform a certain action given a certain precondition query-if: the action of asking another agent whether or not a given proposition is true query-ref: the action of asking an agent for the object referred to by an expression refuse: the action of refusing to perform an action and explaining the reason for the refusal reject-proposal: the action of rejecting to perform some action during a negotiation Catalogue of Communicative Acts (cont.) request: the sender requests the receiver to perform some action request-when: sender wants the receiver to perform some action when some given precondition becomes true request-whenever: sender wants the receiver to perform some action as soon as some proposition becomes true and thereafter each time the proposition becomes true again. request-whomever: sender wants an action to be performed by some agent other than itself. The receiving agent should either perform the action or pass it to wsome other agent subscribe: the act of requesting a persistent intention to notify the sender of the value of a reference, and to notify again whenever the object identified by that reference changes Interaction Protocols Interaction protocols are standard patterns of message exchange FIPA pre-specifies a (non-exhaustive) set of protocols to facilitate agent interaction. Requirement 8: An ACL compliant agent need not implement any of the standard protocols, nor is it restricted from using any other protocol names. However, if one of the standard names is used, the agent must behave consistently with the FIPA protocol specification. FIPA-specified Protocols FIPA-request protocol FIPA-query Protocol FIPA-request-when Protocol FIPA-contract-net Protocol FIPA-Iterated-Contract-Net Protocol FIPA-Auction-English Protocol FIPA-Auction-Dutch Protocol Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language (KQML) • Separation of protocol semantics from content semantics • All of the information for understanding a message is included in the message • A message structure (lisp like): (KQML-performative :sender <word> :receiver <word> :language <word> :ontology <word> :content <expression> …) KQML • Example: (tell :sender Agent1 :receiver Agent2 :language KIF :ontology Stocks :content (AND (ibm) (intl)) …) Performative Categories • • • • • • • Basic query performatives (ask-one, ask-all,...) Multi-response query performatives (stream-in,..) Response (reply, sorry,…) Generic informational (tell, untell, achieve, …) Generator (standby, ready, next, rest, …) Capability definition (advertise, monitor, …) Networking (register, broadcast, forward, …) Summary of KQML and FIPA Semantic Assumptions • KQML semantics presupposes a virtual knowledge base for each agent. --Telling a fact corresponds to reporting on the knowledge base. Querying corresponds to the sending agent trying to extract a fact from the recipient's knowledge base. • KQML has only assertives and directives as primitives (performatives) • KQML primitives cannot be composed. Summary of KQML and FIPA Semantic Assumptions, cont. • FIPA presupposes that an agent has beliefs, intentions and can represent uncertainty about facts.The performance conditions define when an agent can perform a specific communication Require the agents to reason about each other's beliefs and intentions and behave cooperatively and sincerely. • FIPA primitives are also only directives and assertives • FIPA primitives can be composed • FIPA also discusses interaction protocols Critique of KQML and FIPA ACLs (Singh, Computer 1998) • They both emphasize communication based on mental agency, which is antithetical to autonomy and heterogeneity of agents. • KQML and FIPA emphasize the sender's perspective, though both sender and receiver should be considered equal Requirements for ACL that allows agent interoperation (Singh, Computer 1998) • • • • A useful ACL should be normative and have criteria for compliance A useful ACL should consider the social context of the agents without imposition of requirements for e.g. for the agents to be sincere. Singh proposes, social semantics, I.e., communication should be based on agents' social context. --agents belong to societies --agents play different roles within a society --roles entail social commitments to other roles within the society --an agent joins a society in one or more roles, thereby acquiring the role's commitment --a role's commitments are the restrictions of how an agent in that role must act and communicate --a protocol is defined as sets of commitments, rather than a finite state machine --designers can create specific protocols, hence societies, for different applications, e.g. e-commerce and publish the specifications of the societies and associated protocols. Interoperation among different MAS --Mas can differ in: • ACL • MAS architecture • capability advertisements • default agent query preferences The RETSINA-OAA Interoperator (Giampapa et al Agents 2000) • Goal: to allow any agent in RETSINA to access the services of any agent in OAA and vice versa • Differences --RETSINA is a system with matchmaker organization --OAA uses a Facilitator --RETSINA agents speak KQML with a structured content language --OAA agents speak Prolog --These two languages have different syntactic and semantic structure RETSINA-OAA Interoperator Design Principles • MAS interoperators should maintain distinct MAS boundaries • MAS interoperators should be scalable • MAS interoperators should present increase in savings as new agents are added to the interoperating MAs • MAS interoperators should cross-register agent capabilities across MAS's • MAS interoperational transparency: agents can dialogue across MAS's without being aware of the interoperator presence.

The Loonie Is Going To Get Worse Before It Gets Better
The loonie may have seen stronger growth than any other currency among G10 countries so far this year.
But the good times won't last, if a report by CIBC Economics is any indication.
The bank issued a forecast Friday showing that the loonie could drop to as low as $0.73 against the U.S. greenback by September, before its value improves by sometime early next year.
The dollar had been a source of concern for Canadians in January, when its value fell to a low of approximately $0.68 against the U.S. currency.
Analysts later observed a "Revenant"-like comeback that saw its value climb as high as $0.79 in early May, thanks to factors such as better-than-expected economic performance and higher global oil prices.
Its growth was stronger than the currencies in countries such as Norway, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and the U.K.
But its value has since dropped again, closing at about $0.766 on Friday, and it could fall even lower as the economy is expected to contract in the second quarter.
The reason, the bank says, is the wildfire that has ravaged Fort McMurray and ground oilsands production to a crawl.
The fire has resulted in the loss of approximately $1 billion worth of oilsands production.
That equals approximately 0.33 per cent of Alberta's GDP in 2016, and 0.06 per cent of Canada's GDP, according to the Conference Board of Canada.
But Canada isn't expected to feel economic pain for long.
The federal Liberal government's stimulus package will likely boost Canada's GDP sometime this year.
That, and higher oil prices could push the dollar as high as $0.775 in the first quarter of 2017.
While a low loonie can benefit sectors such as manufacturing and tourism, it's also keeping Canadians from planning summer vacations in other countries.
A survey by Tangerine bank has found that only nine per cent of Canadians plan to vacation in the U.S. this summer, while only eight per cent expect to travel elsewhere.
Two-thirds of people surveyed blamed the loonie for limiting their travel plans.

Until the mid-19th century, Canada's future provinces used the "Canadian pound." Bit by bit, various jurisdictions began to switch to a metric system, and with it came the concept of the Canadian dollar. This Bank of Montreal-issued dollar bill is among the first bills called a dollar to have been printed.
Various banks printed their own currency until eventually the Bank of Montreal was charged with being the official issuer of the Canadian dollar, a practice that stayed in place until the Bank of Canada was created in the 1930s.
The Bank of Toronto (today known as TD Bank) was among many banks that issued Canadian dollars in the second half of the 19th century.

From Bank Of Canada, Flickr: "The expansion of the railway in the 1880s was hailed as a remarkable feat of engineering for a young country with a varied and often treacherous terrain. At the time, the railway was the longest ever built, and its completion demonstrated Canada's pioneering spirit by linking our eastern and western frontiers, connecting people, and facilitating the exchange of goods. Today, The Canadian train, winding its way through the Rockies showcases Canada's natural beauty and symbolizes what we accomplished as a young nation."

Even that would be better. @InklessPW: Wells designs new bills. What'll we put on the 5? Oscar Peterson. The 10? Peterson. 20? Glenn Gould
Wait so there's no more quote from the Hockey Sweater on the new $5 bills? #manifencours
New bills should be 5 pin bowling for the $5, a Robertson screwdriver for the $10, a Canadian flag, draped over a picnic bench on the backs.
Theory about the new $5 and $10 bills: They're ugly enough that we don't want to keep them in our wallets.
Paul Wells designs the new bills. "What'll we put on the 5?" "Oscar Peterson." "And on the 10?" "Oscar Peterson." "20?" "Glenn Gould."
Was expecting the new $5/$10 bills to literally have pictures of poop on them, based on the outcry. Surprise: they look like money!
Q: You're the federal government, what do you put on the new 5$ and 10$ bills? A: Things you've cut funding to. http://t.co/jqT3BLmENc
Everyone is pretty damn hung up on the AESTHETICS of the new $5 and $10 bills in Canada. Me? I'd like money that WORKS in vending machines
@Cmdr_Hadfield Dude, with all the stuff you've had up there (guitars, Easter eggs, new $5 bills), how BIG was your suitcase?

Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Roused by the wails of a fellow gang member, Drake rolled onto his side. This sinking feeling ravaged his body with murky visibility, a splitting headache and the kind of anger you experience against an over-expecting tourist. He was an owl, craning his head to recognise his location. Mount Izio. It came back to him, all of a sudden, it came back to him. A silent epiphany derived from his past. Flashbacks emerged.
Relentless Monty had made a run towards the corner of the floor: it was so near to the bubbling, hot lava-bath. But this was all part of his plan. Simply one flaw was in his carefully planned plan. In order to execute this, Monty required a dolphin to himself however; the cunning leader requested they all ambush him at once. On the other hand, Drake was drowsed with a blast of the dolphins' weary steam whilst fending them off with his glistening blade. This was so the ambush of Monty became a submission for him to be burned alive. Next, the gang summoned a mighty obstacle of magma from underneath Monty. He was sniped back onto... he blacked out again, his feeble memory wiped even further. Like a lost lion cub, he sat in this wild place alone.
Pondering more led to another breakthrough. Drake's connection to his task was strong so he could feel what he was trying to do back there. A small ledge of granite floated in a malicious sea of ending! Young, but not quite fleet, the body of a free rider. On the back of a dolphin he imperiously sat. An emperor to his throne of glory. This rider had been the one that dove into the lava and dug a burly tunnel to Lavarter's lair. That was Drake's previous goal. Alas, it did not work and where he and Monty were now was a mystery.
Sitting up, Drake scanned the alienated area. Rapidly, he made note of key features. A tiny cave with drips of ash lying in the corner, the ceiling, low and claustrophobic as if to detain him. Finally a crooked bench raised above the filthy floor which oversaw a row of consecutive steel alloy bars. One word sprang to mind... prison! Not only had Drake lost Willurby and possibly failed to protect Monty but now he had awoken in a hellish cell.
Past intervenes with danger had all "been part of the fun" but now Drake realised his place in the world, as the foolish warrior who mocked hazard and paid dearly for it. Instead of this being the end though, it was the beginning. If it was the end, this story may have struggled to exist.
Drake moped and surpassed the bitter heat just about. Fearing these would be his final hours, Drake slouched onto his pathetic bench.
"Look out!" a deep voice hollered throughout Drake's cell. Falling silent, he assumed it was all in his eccentrically crazy mind. Only when a haunting grenade graced Drake's presence did he heed the man's advice. Kaboom! An infused torrent of explosive power rocketed through the pitiful cell and pinned Drake to the floor. Tall, dark and shrouded in a cloak and bloody bandana up to his eyes was a man who was the most confusing aftermath of any explosion ever.
"I think you'll find that I kind of trashed your stay here but from here on in, I've already taken care of the guards assigned to keep you in," the man murmured. As a desperate child would, Drake tugged at this man's coat and questioned him. He didn't speak (he didn't have a chance to) and already the man answered his query. "I'm a free-spirited rider; I believe we are acquainted, from a distance. In the hope that you would overpower the dolphin terror, I rode bravely into the flood of heat and a convenient tunnel then awaited you. But you didn't make it, and had it not been for me, the dolphins would've fed Lavarter with your bones at the stake. Consider this your wake-up call, your kick up the ass, your second chance to be a hero." This gruff voice was frighteningly familiar and uncomforting to Drake. True it was that this guy had been watching Drake's actions from afar and attempted to quietly nudge him in the correct direction. He was the rider that greeted them at the menacing wall.
Drake could tell that this rider was more experienced at fighting and knew these harsh routes like the back of his hand. Sensing much wisdom, Drake from then, decided to thrive to be like this guy.
"Shall we forge on?" he then suggested.
Throughout the next narrow corridors, the two valiantly battled on. Long were the fetes when this "Black Rider" as Drake now dubbed him failed to launch his many bombs and gun down the guarding dolphins. They all fell as corpses on the hot floor. In amazement, Drake just stared, whacking down the odd dolphin that opposed him. Ominous glows of tainted red glimmered down the never-ending halls. However, this particular corridor he approached with such caution that it make Drake shudder. Although he had had only a non-meaningful few minutes in which he had known the mysterious ranger, he had developed a strong depiction of this guy and this wasn't normal. He crashed onto the burning wall and observed the huge crevasse above this imposing door. Regretfully, Drake pressed on too quickly but was strenuously shoved aside by the Black Rider.
"We don't have time to be careful, my friend is still here. Even you yourself said they'd feed him to Lavarter," Drake's heart argued above brains.
"Then why do you leave him?" the Black Rider smirked. Pressing their ears against the door led to discovery. Faint cries of Monty emitted from within. Shrill and weakening but unmistakable.
The rider's work was almost finished: a final devastating charge rigged on the porthole and he rotated with his mystical cape following him. It dragged off into the distance beside him. Still overjoyed with relief, Drake hadn't thought about the effects of the bomb next to him or the departing rider. His stare grew serious as he stormed up to the Black Rider sternly. Impressively standing his ground, he queried.
"So that's it then?"
"Between us... it is!" the man trudged off and tore clean through a reinforced vent wedged into the impenetrable ceiling, he seemed desperate to leave.
"You recognised Monty's voice without even a question, a small mutter. You were bang on. First time. I don't know if it's just because you're a "people person" or if you are... Just who are you anyway... Black Rider?" Drake finally added.
Immediately, the charge went off in a horrific display of power and choking smoke. It was in this time that the Black Rider strangely disappeared, leaving Drake to face his annoying, and enraged enemies. Charmingly, he strolled into the sizzling smoke shower and left with the best prize of all, his friend.
A flailing dash for the bridge awaited Monty and Drake. Whilst they panted and ran frantically, they recapped.
"So this Black Rider toning weapons and explosives just busted you out of the goodness of his heart?" the previously absent Monty brushed upon the topic.
"More or less, and I never would've found you without his help," Drake explained. Nevertheless, this being still boasted incredible strength and his motives weren't clear so to Monty, he was as good as any other enemy they had faced... he was a potential threat.
The amber waves that splashed against the crumbly rock shook Monty and Drake off their feet and they tightly traversed the monstrous bridge that protected Lavarter's lair. Soon, they bested the bridge and all the natural terror that intensified its right. Now there was only one thing left to do, pay Lavarter back for their agonizing suffering.
"Are you ready?" Monty asked. Nodding, Drake let loose a terrific kick that swiftly hammered down the spine-chilling gates.
Emperor and regal Lavarter greeted them. Upon his throne laden with devilish crowns, skulls and fire bursting from its foot; this was where he commanded his imperialist army of vicious dolphins. His lair was surprisingly empty except from a ring of lava below an arena-like platform full of many more skulls (obviously from past duels). These spoils of Lavarter's painful victories were all just for show in Drake's heroic mind. Since, he had come for a duel; he couldn't help sensing Monty's unrest. Shivering in a place as warm as this was a serious offence. Monty glared at the rows of carved rock into the corners of the arena, just beyond the demonic pit. Those could only be one thing... the stands. A nationwide event for the dolphins. By deeming himself worthy against the unruly odds, Drake had built himself up to be a target to Lavarter.
Hordes and hordes of screeching dolphins arose in the stands. Howling, hearing and huddling, the dolphins cackled and clenched and conked out in laughter and festivities. Monty would join them as the duel loomed ever-closer.
"All this just for some steel," Drake comically mocked.
"This is the only place in the entire world to get steel. Its eeeeuuuuhhohohhhhoooooo extraction from ore means it has many properties. You eeuuuuhhhhhoooo can weld and build with it so we appreciate it by crafting all our dingy dungeons from it," Lavarter beckoned.
"About the dungeons, why did you lock me up and try to kill me on many occasions when the dolphins in the Izionarza village welcomed me with hospitality?" Drake wondered.
"Because unlike them, you have disturbed my eeeooooohh home, assaulted my dolphins and you practically have come here to assassinate me, duh!" This vital point contradicted Drake. The terminology "assassination" wasn't exactly the words Drake would've used.
Lavarter himself was a hulking dolphin whose flopping across the ground brought unbelievable tremors. A memorable crown was sitting over his blowhole as it spurted out flames. Bottle-nosed, he was armed with huge flippers capable of felling a human easily... it was no surprise that this guy was their king or that he was so dangerous. The rim of his belly reached up to his mouth. It was cracked like a sun-kissed lip in need of soothing balm.
Lavarter's first strike, a 360° flip a quiet hover in the arm and then a mad pounding on the floor on his descent.
"Standard rules, you flop me onto my eeeooohhhhh back, you've basically taken my life seeing as I am unable to get back up. I'd just die there quietly and you will claim your prize. However eueiueueufuhhhhhhh, if you lose, I have the right to dispose of trespassers. Now, who wishes to challenge me?"
Terrified Drake stood motionless. He quaked in fear and glumly gulped gasping for air. On the other side of the arena: was a ledge with a reinforced vent above it. Another shower of smoke willowed out from its mouth like a dragon. Who did Drake see? None other than the Black Rider, who leapt out gracefully. The Black Rider felt the calming and sparkling igneous crystals around him and grimaced at Lavarter. He flew over to his majesty with a mad proposition.
"I will duel you!" he clamoured. Messages from the crowd roared in argument, booing this impostor out of their beloved event.
"Not you again! I know you're just trying to help but this is my duel. I won't allow you to get in the way of that!" Drake yelled. Disgraced, the Black Rider cringed. He was sorry.
"I apologize. I should've mentioned it sooner but as you are now, you present no match against Lavarter." Drake couldn't believe this remark from such a legendary hero. The rider himself beamed at Drake. "If you don't trust me, just take a look!" Firing an onslaught of piercing bullets, the Black Rider strafed as to not let the unbearable noise and blinding light of his gun's sleek barrel trash his concentration. Luckily, Drake dodged all these with great ease. Revenge in his eyes, he charged at the Black Rider ready to kill. Crazily, the Black Rider elbowed Drake to throw him off guard, disarmed him vigorously by twisting his arm before finishing him off with some powerful, consecutive jabs to the vital ribs. Helplessly, Drake lay in a miserable heap. Transporting him to a cramped seat in the full stands, the dolphins prepared to watch an unexpected battle. Resisting the dolphins, Drake called out and refused to back down.
"How do you expect to beat Lavarter? I refuse to let this mission go to waste. This isn't over; round two is just about to begin. Unhand me and I'll fight you again right now. We deserve that steel to protect the abode we are accustomed to. How am I to get any steel if you prevent me from fighting?" The rider paused and turned away as if to conceal his image. His hidden lips were tightly sealed like an avalanche had buried them in time so many years ago. A complicated answer baffled everyone at that moment with the rider removing his slick bandana. Previously it concealed his identity but he was prepared to reveal it confidently to the excited crowd.
"You will get the steel. Because I'm not the Black Rider... I'm... Willurby!!!!!" he cried with such an audible voice that it reverberated all over the chasms and swirling tunnels. Gasping in two mixed feelings (rage and happiness) Drake considered his friend's actions. He stood down sensitively as for Willurby to get his revenge for his supposed death. Plus, he couldn't have been more proud of Willurby: he had improved his fighting massively and essentially brought pride to all his battles. Go for it... Willurby!

There are about 25 west coast players and, for our purposes, those that aren't being re-classified, going to a prep school back east or aren't D-1 prospects, probably less than 20.
The quality of play hasn't been great, but it has to be recognized that we're getting the ABCD Camp a few days in, when the level of play has degraded considerably.
The dominant west coast player, of course, has been Kevin Love, the 6-9 post from Lake Oswego (Calif.) High. Love has been battling with O.J. Mayo for the best-in-camp honors, and Love made a good case Saturday. In his two games of the day, he was clearly the best prospect on the court, again, like he has since he was a freshman, displaying low-post moves and a feel that is unique for a high school player these days. We all know about the moves, the outlet passes, the relentless rebounding, but Love has also broadened his game with a consistent three-point shot, which presents a tough match-up for opposing centers. In one sequence on Thursday, Love hit a three, then the next time down the court, the post defending him came out to pick him up at the top of the key. But Love's ability to drive to the basket has also improved, and on the next play he drove around his defender and laid in the ball easily. Love did this consistently for two games. The guys defending him struggled to guard Love from one simple aspect: Do you respect the shot and pick him up high, and give him a chance to go around you, or do you sag off and let him casually drop threes on you? It's a new challenge in defending Love, among a list of challenges. He's averaging a double-double here and, in our possibly biased, west-coast opinion, is showing he has a bigger impact on a game than does Mayo. He's making a good case to be #1 in the country. It's also looking more and more that Love isn't going to announce a college decision anytime soon, so UCLA and North Carolina fans should buckle themselves in for at least a few months.
Not many west coasters had particularly great days on Thursday, after Love.
Perhaps the player who fared the best was Clint Chapman, the 6-10 senior center from Canby (Ore.) High. Chapman has used his length and girth well here, and hasn't been afraid to try to go aggressively to the basket against this level of athleticism. Thursday he made a nice turn-around jumper, and then drove the lane and threw down a nice dunk, then blocked a shot, all in one very good stretch. The upside here is considerable, since he was just 6-8 a year ago, and is still just learning how to play in an ever-expanding body.
Derek Selvig, the 6-9 forward from Glendive (Mont.) Dawson County, was probably the other west coaster who had a good Thursday. We originally wrote about Selvig this spring, and since he's gotten some attention nationally. Being here now at this camp will undoubtedly get him now in the national spotlight as a high major prospect. Selvig has the mindset of a point forward, in a legit 6-9 body (when he played against Love, and guarded him decently, mind you, he looked at least as tall as Love, if maybe not slightly taller). He has, first, a very good combo for a guy his size that he can really shoot the ball, so you have to respect his shot but, at his height, he sees the court so well, and if he draws you out, he lays off nice passes to his teammates for easier shots. That's a tough enough to match-up for a big, but he's also very quick for his size and can put the ball on the floor for a couple of bounces. On the defensive end, as we said, it was interesting to see him body up with Love, and generally do fine, at least as well as anyone else trying to guard Love. So, Selvig, offensively is a face-up four, who can give you time at the three, and defensively can guard a five, a four and maybe even a three with his laterally quickness and length. There aren't many guys like this around AAU and high school basketball. In fact, only one comes to mind, and that would be Kyle Singler. While Singler is an elite talent, Selvig could be described as a poor-man's Singler. We've heard that high majors are now scouting him seriously, including Gonzaga.
James Harden, the 6-4 shooting guard from Lakewood (Calif.) Artesia, had a decent day. He's not one that flourishes in the me-first camp environment, actually trying to run plays and execute while teammates are jacking up threes on every touch. But it's obvious how good and a fundamental basketball player he is, even here, making the better, extra pass, making sharp cuts, and not over penetrating. If you're scouting this from a standpoint of who can make the most plays, Hardin's game might not stand out, especially since his jump shot hasn't been as consistent as it can in this free-for-all environment. But if you know what you're watching, it's clear that Hardin's feel for the game is very advanced, especially in this type of environment. With his former teammate, guard Derek Glasser, now also going to ASU, it's just about as close to a done deal as you're going to get that Hardin is going to be a Sun Devil.
Along those same lines, another player whose all-around game stands out here is Zane Johnson, the 6-5 wing from Phoenix (Ariz.) Thunderbird. Like Hardin, Johnson is a fundamentally sound player with a very good feel, and sometimes that can go unnoticed when teammates are shooting from 25 feet. But Johnson has played confidently, not hesitating to take defenders off the dribble when he has a step, while also making some smart passes. He's shot the ball fairly well, and it's refreshing that Johnson (and Hardin) are two guys that aren't being compelled to "get theirs" and shoot the ball every time they touch it but are still insisting on trying to play team ball. The Arizona commit has looked good, even though it's not a good environment for him.
The two elite rising juniors from the west here at ABCD are Malcolm Lee, the 6-3 guard from Riverside (Calif.) North, and 6-8 forward Drew Gordon from San Jose Archbishop Mitty. Both have had up-and-down camps. Gordon, reportedly, had a good day Friday, but Saturday had a mediocre showing in the early game Saturday, but then showed flashes in the later game. The poor showing, again, has to be discounted because of the environment, and Gordon has either tried to do too much at times or not enough. It's tough, too when he's playing on a team with Love and Brandon Jennings, two very talented players who are bound to get a great deal of touches on the ball. When he settled down Saturday he had a few good moments, showing a nice, in-control post move that led to a pretty jump hook from about 10 feet. He then had one of the most athletic put-backs I've seen yet this July when, after going up, he caught the rebound somewhat behind and below him, and had the athleticism to adjust and throw it back down. Again, the most you can get out of the camps is to see an indication of the type of player someone is, and Gordon has displayed enough talent.
Maybe the west coast is becoming the fundamentally-sound, team-oriented coast, because Lee is following in the footsteps of Hardin and Johnson and trying to execute and play team-oriented ball in this free-for-all. His national rep might suffer a bit for it, since this is his real, first exposure nationally. But that's irrelevant since we know how good he is. In this environment you have to insist on getting your own, and know that when you give up the ball you're not going to get it back. Lee hasn't done that. He's calling out plays, and starting to initiate them with a pass, but then the play breaks down when someone quickly jacks up an ill-advised shot. Even though he's being prodded to play more me-first, Lee hasn't done it. He could actually assert himself a bit more, since he does have the ability to take defenders off the dribble and perhaps, being his first big camp experience, he's a bit intimidated. He did show some things in bits Saturday, driving the baseline and, with great quickness and balance, pulling up to knock down a 12-footer. His length has shown to be disruptive on defense, especially on help defense when he gets his long arms in to disrupt an opponent's drive or shot. Lee will undoubtedly not blow up nationally because of this camp, but he's shown enough to prove that he's a legit high-major and among the best guards in the west nationally for 2008.
Darnell Gant, the 6-8 senior forward from Los Angeles (Calif.) Crenshaw, was in a shoulder sling and told us that he strained ligaments in his shoulder that could require surgery. The rest of his July is definitely in question. He reportedly was having a fairly strong camp before the injury.
Alex Legion, the 6-4 senior guard from Michigan and a UCLA prospect, is playing point guard here which, Saturday, wasn't good for him. For one, he's not a point guard, and having him do it here is making him handle the ball too much, which caused him to make far too many turnovers. Legion is best catching and shooting, or catching and driving, not ball-handling and passing. He is making a valiant effort since the point guard on his team, Derrick Rose, is hurt, and he has shown he can handle the ball well enough -- for a shooting guard.
Renardo Sidney, the 6-9 sophomore who will tentatively be at Lakewood (Calif.) Artesia next year and is widely regarded as the #1 player in the national class of 2009, is certainly as good as we remember him -- big, skilled and athletic. He reminds you a bit of former North Carolina player Marvin Williams. Sidney, though, is now 240 pounds, probably 20 pounts heavier than he was a year ago, and his weight could be the only thing that slows him down.
UCLA Head Coach Ben Howland was at the ABCD Camp Saturday, watching the games of Love, Legion, Lee, Gordon, Chapman and Sidney.
Kerry Keatin is now at the Adidas Superstar Camp and Donnie Daniels is at the Nike Camp. New assistant Scott Garson will probably not be out this July.

my report is a carbon copy of the previous filed report. I had some malware in my computer, which I could not eliminate myself and consequently called this company. It was difficult to understand them very well due their Indian accent. Anyway, they installed their software after I had to pay $349.99 (Visa) and was told that my email address was floating around in the Middle East in particaular Afganistan. Individuals were using my address for scams! After some time they got back to me with the report that everything was corrected.
I had to get in touch with them several times regarding strange UPS emails (fraud) and again live technichian said they corrected it. During the course of the year these emails kept showing up in my my email box and the the used the Logmein site to get into my computer to eliminate the suspicious email. Mind you I was told that this particular would never show up again. Guess what..
If you called that compane in the morning (Eastern Standard Time) you were lucky if you got a response within 3 hours. Recently I was attacked with the 'interpol' virus, which shut the computer down completely. I called live technician and my called was returned 8 1/2 hours later. I did not wait that long and signed up with another company (what a difference).
Like I said they returned my call 8 1/2 later and I told them that I no longer require their services and that I would appreciate to be reimbursed for the remainder of my contract. Their reply was negative. Their email address: email@example.com

The company announced earlier this month that 4G will be launching at the end of August, and while some hints to pricing were provided, today we've got some idea as to how much you'll be looking to fork out each month to take advantage of the increased data speeds. Starting at £26 for SIM-only plans and £32 a month with a 4G handset, O2 is clearly looking to compete with EE.

It opened with such great hopes in 1876, but superseded by both the Illinois/Michigan canal and railroads it never reached its full potential. Today it lies closed and stagnant.

Mayor's Welcome
Dear Sports Friends,
Dear Visitor,
It is with great pleasure to welcome you on the official website of the European Youth Olympic Festival 2017 in Győr.
It has been a great honour for Hungary and the City of Győr to obtain the rights to host the 2017 European Youth Olympic Festival. This opportunity to organise one of the biggest Olympic events bears an outstanding importance for the whole country as the Olympic Games and the Olympic Spirit have always played an emphasised role in the history of Hungary. This is best proven by the fact that in Rio de Janiero, at the XXXI Olympic Games, Hungary has earned its 500th Olympic Medal.
There is not much time left until the beginning of the first ever Olympic event hosted in Hungary with the participation of all the 50 countries of Europe. We are hoping to create a unique Olympic atmosphere with a compact event. This will be ensured by the closeness of venues, the side events we are planning for the participants, and the friendliness and welcoming milieu of our city.
We are going to welcome whole Europe in July and our aim is to be great hosts. We would like to show that Hungary is able to organise such a complex multi-sport event as the EYOF. Furthermore, it is our unconcealed goal to introduce some of the countless values and beauties of Győr and Hungary to our guests.
I hope that all athletes, members of the European Olympic Family, and fans will be enriched with unforgettable experiences in our city. Let's meet in Győr this Summer!
Until then, I wish you joyful browsing through our webpage.
Yours faithfully,
Zsolt Borkai
Mayor of the City of Győr

Poison Apple
"Didn't anyone teach you not to play with your food?" a male voice said.
Tawny froze, as did I. One of the 'statues' moved and stood infront of Tawny. His tall, skinny frame towered over her and made her seem like a child.
"She smells good. Very... fresh," he said, licking his lips, "Mind if I join you?"
"Ofcourse you can smell fresh blood on her, she just fed" Tawny said defiantly.
"She fed in the mansion? I hope you stuck to the rules".
"Didn't spill a drop".
The tall man turned his head towards me. His face was still silhouetted, as if he was wearing a thick black veil.
"No, that... that can't be freshly consumed blood. It couldn't have gotten into her veins that fast. You're up to something, Tawny".
"Is your nose not working, Kyo? You must be able to smell the venom on her".
The man leant forward, craning his neck over Tawny's shoulder.
"I think she got her priorities mixed up. It smells like she was trying to turn them, not drain them. So who is she anyway?"
I could see his face now. His hair was dark violet and longer on one side. His eyes were purpley-blue and by generic standards he was pretty good looking. He wasn't too thin and his jawline was beautiful. He could easily have made a model. What am I talking about? He said I smelt fresh. That sounds kind of pervy. What does that even mean anyway?
"She's my cousin. From another clan" Tawny said.
"How can you be sure she's your cousin?"
This guy seemed to be nothing but questions. And he made Tawny nervous. If he made Tawny nervous, how was I supposed to feel? Tawny stood up against Ayumu the serial killer while I lay helplessly asleep. For the most part anyway.
"I can smell Colette's venom on her".
A look of understanding spread across this guy's face. It then changed to a look of almost sympathy before he said "Nice".
Tawny made an effort to duck past him with me in tow but he stepped infront of her.
"It's nearly dawn, Tawny".
"I'll be fine".
She pushed past him and led me out of the front doors. Thick, oak double doors, I might add. Didn't that guy say it was nearly dawn? Oh no, Dad's gonna kill me! Wait, what day is it? Thursday. That's okay, then, calm down Hallie. Dad will still be at the hospital. He probably wont be back home till saturday. Evidently Tawny had been through my stuff because she seemed to know where I lived. That's a pretty big thing since nobody knows where I live. Sometimes I even forget where I live. I let her drag me along, clutching my clothes and bag 'til the sun crept up over the horizon and the brilliant sunlight slowly filtered through the tall trees.
Tawny had pulled me to my door and was sat on the doorstep with her hands clamped over her face.
"Are you okay?" I asked, unlocking the door.
"I'm... I'm fine, I just... I just need to get out of the light".
I pushed open the door and she scurried inside like a cockroach. It's not so nice calling someone who saved you life a cockroach. Wait, when did I decide she saved my life?
She opened the closet under the stairs and slipped inside, shutting the door behind her to seal off any light. I waited a few minutes but she didn't come out so, even though it was way too early, I started getting ready for school. After a couple hours Tawny's voice came quietly out of the closet.
"Hallie, do you have any sunglasses?"
"Sure. Why?"
"Just... can I borrow them?"
I ran upstairs, grabbed my shades from my desk and sprinted back down to Tawny. She put them on and slowly came out of the closet.
"Some ice would be good too".
"What do you want with it?"
"Just the ice".
I gave her the ice cube tray from our ancient, barely works anymore freezer and watched her slip a cube under the shades.
"I don't do too good with the sunlight. You don't want to see what's under here" she said, putting a half-melted, bloodied ice cube back in the tray.
"I don't think I do. Why did you stay out there if you knew that was going to happen?"
"I had to get you home safely. If you didn't live in the middle of nowhere it wouldn't have taken so long".
"Oh. I'm sorry".
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault. I just didn't think the sun would rise so fast".
Tawny had taken another two ice cubes and they'd both been returned to the tray, half-melted and covered with blood.
The journey to school was a lot more interesting with Tawny tagging along but the shades stayed glued to her face. She complained about my wearing of stripes; a black and white t-shirt, and kept talking about 'Fang' and 'Lille'. She mentioned Morrigan and Ayumu a couple times but what she said didn't make any sense to me. By the time we reached the main part of town it was half-full with the daily routiners. I could reel off each and every one but there was one that always intrigued me. His name was Nate Rutherford, and each day he would change one part of his routine. Monday he would buy a donut instead of a pancake, Tuesday he'd walk to wherever he went instead of taking the bus, Wednesday he always wore a red tie and a black shirt, Thursday he always wore surfer style jewellery and gave a smile to anyone who took the time to say "hi" and on Friday he'd be a bit of a recluse. Saturday I had labeled Mystery Day because each week he would change a different thing and it seemed to be like a regeneration process. Then on Sunday the whole regime would start again in the form of a pancake eating, pinstripe suited young guy. His skin reminded me of Tawny's but hers was definately paler. He turned his mousey-haired head and I waved at him. He smiled back and I heard Tawny laugh.
"Aaw, is that your boyfriend?"
"No!" I shouted, feeling the blood rushing to my cheeks.
"Well I wouldn't give him a second thought. He's way out of you're league. Even with the stripes".
We reached the school in no time. Tawny was surprisedly fast for someone who's eyes had just been bleeding. Our entire town seemed to stick to one theme. The town was called Apollo's Arrow, the private school was Apollo Academy and my school was simply Apollo High, 'the place of learning for the descendants of Apollo'. Somebody should really tell the mayor that Apollo was a Greek god, Greek being the main theme there. Apollo High was the much less desirable little sister of Apollo Academy. The school gate seemed to lack in existance. What was left of the gate was simply a couple hinges and a tiny piece of iron framework. The building itself was small, shabby and tired out. Since Apollo High was opened in 1873 it has patiently sat on the original frame, the orignal stone and the original everything. Everyone in Apollo High knew the school sucked and quite frankly, so did the teachers. Hey, at least we're not snooty about our school like the Academy kids.
"I'll be hanging around later to take you home" she said.
"You've got yourself a bodyguard for the moment. Morri should watch out for you during the day. That is if she's listening to Fang at the moment. He was kind of disappointed with her last night".
Tawny waved and sauntered off, leaving me stood at the front of the school looking very confused and slightly lost. I walked into the school and was instantly spotted by Morrigan. She sort of grunted and I took that as my cue to be her tag-along. Morrigan insisted I continued my day as normal so throughout the day I could feel Morrigan's piercing gaze coming from the back of several classrooms.
That lunch the whole school watched in awe as THE Morrigan Gray made an appearance at lunch for the first time in three years and sat with a nobody. The table we were sat at cleared immediately and refilled with the 'cool' kids. They all tried to start a conversation with her but her mouth was practically wired shut. The self-proclaimed king of the cool kids, not easily defeated, attempted conversation three more times before Morrigan snapped. She clamped his mouth shut with a vice like grip and exhaled sharply.
"Leave me alone" she said quietly but menacingly and let go of his face.
The king, clearly insulted, signalled to the rest of the cool kids who hovered off like flies. Morrigan picked upand apple the king had left behind and bit into it. Her canines poked out of her mouth and tore through the flesh. She put the shining red apple back on the table.
"Damn," she said with a smile, "It's not poisoned. I always wanted to be like Snow White".
She stood up and pushed her hair back. She pulled me up by my arm and started to lead me out of the cafeteria. The dress she wore today was not one of her best. It was black, relativelt tight fitting and was covered in about ten zips. I've been told it's like Kairi's dress in Kingdom Hearts 2. In any other colour it would have looked quite feminine but colours don't seem to suit Morrigan unless they are accompaminied by black.
"I know a place away from the watchers" she whispered and whisked me outside. "They piss me off so much" she said sourly.
"Those manipulative sheep inside".
She threw herself into a sitting position in the middle of a thick circle of trees. Besides the wall of forest my house was behind, I'd never seen so many trees in Apollo's Arrow. Apollo's Arrow was like a backseat New York except we didn't have huge skyscrapers and all that jazz.
"And his God damn royal highness, thinking he can tell me what to do. Some days I swear I could wrap my hands around his scrawny little throat!".
It didn't look like he did that to me. He just wanted to chat, right? Unless she didn't mean him.
"And Tawny, flitting around like a little pixie. Always going out of her way to be helpful. Always there when you need her. It's so frustrating. Everyone's taking it out on me because I slipped up once. I don't get why you're so special anyway. I mean, you have no specific talents, nobody seems to care about you and you're blood doesn't even smell that good. I don't even know why I'm listening to Fang. Maybe I should start my own gang. Yeah, and we'd feed whenever we wanted and I wouldn't give hour long disciplinaries. And we'd destroy the two Majors and go down in history, even more famous than the Ancients. I like the sound of that".
Majors? Ancients? What was she talking about? It sounded like crazytalk. Mayeb she and Tawny were members of some devil worshipping cult that drinks people's blood. No, Tawny's too nice for that. But isn't it normally the nice ones that massacre their whole family and then put a bullet in their own head?
"And you could be our little human pet".
The saddened look in Morrigan's eyes betrayed the sinister edge to her voice. Sadness rarely presented itself on Morrigan's unblemished face but when it did it gave her a new kind of beauty. It was the strange beauty of a tortured soul. The strange human attraction to misery and mystery tumbling in around Morrigan, bombarding her with popularity and attention she clearly didn't want. She sighed and beckoned to me to sit down.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. When I drink stored blood I get a bit... cranky. See, it doesn't taste as good as fresh blood. It... it just doesn't taste right" she said, looking down at the grass.
"It's fine. In all truth, I have no idea what you're talking about. I heard something about Majors and Ancients but I really don't get it. But if you're in some kind of cult or something that drinks blood then that's fine with me" I said with a smile.
"I wish it were that simple," she sighed, "There are things you should probably know and will most likely end up needing to know. Things I'm not allowed to tell you. Don't bother asking Tawny or Aya because they'll say exactly the same thing. Fang wants to tell you himself when the time is right. Unless, of course, you work it out for yourself".
She flashed me a look that suggested she was going to be of minimal help and started looking through he bag. The bell screeched its warning just as Morrigan found what she was looking for. She stood up and pushed down her skirt. She started walking off but remembered the thing she got out of her bag.
"Take this. It should help" she said and passed down a tatty book.
She sauntered off and I looked down at the cover. Well, the lack of cover.
"You didn't think I'd make it that easy. You have to read at least some of it!" she laughed.
I flicked through the book, expecting to find the title of the book printed at the top of each page but discovered it was an unmarked copy. I put the book in my bag and stood up. Morrigan was still faintly visible so I followed he image back to the school. And, just as she said, Tawny was hanging around after school, sunglasses still attached to her pale face.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
What's the deal here? Yesterday Greg Mankiw observed that increasing spending by $1 billion and increasing taxes by $3 billion might technically reduce the deficit, but it's all just a bunch of fakery. It's really only the tax increase that does any deficit reducing. Today Charles Krauthammer takes up the same banner:
I've got a great idea for deficit reduction. It will yield a savings of $230 billion over the next 10 years: We increase spending by $540 billion while we increase taxes by $770 billion....This is a hell of a way to do deficit reduction: a radical increase in spending, topped by an even more radical increase in taxes.
Did conservatives meet on Wednesday and decide that this should be their latest brilliant talking point for use on Fox and Friends? Look: the CBO says that healthcare reform will reduce the deficit because the money it raises added to the money it saves is greater than the amount of new money it spends. You can argue with this — though it would be nice if conservatives would do it honestly instead of endlessly recycling the same clumsy lies — but that's what the CBO says. The bill reduces the deficit.
And, yes, it also raises spending. Is this really a surprise? We've spent the past two years yelling at each other about this, after all. Of course it raises spending. That's the whole point. We're covering more people and expanding access to healthcare. If you don't like the idea of more people having access to healthcare, that's fine. Just say so. But if you do like the idea, it's not going to be free no matter how much smoke and mirrors you use to confuse things. No free lunches, guys.
Now, I'll concede one point to our conservative friends. Liberals have recently taken to suggesting that anyone who voted against healthcare reform is obviously a hypocrite about deficit reduction, since they voted against a bill that reduces the deficit. This is nonsense. PPACA, at best, reduces the deficit only slightly, and there are plenty of reasons for conservatives to dislike it even if it does, in the end, reduce the deficit a bit by raising taxes to cover its costs. If Mankiw and Krauthammer want to complain about that, I'll back 'em up.
But they should also be willing to concede the more important point: Democrats were basically pretty honest about funding PPACA. It's not, and was never intended to be, a deficit reduction bill. It's a healthcare reform bill. But it's a healthcare reform bill that largely pays for itself, and, by the standards of Washington politics, does it remarkably honestly. Hell, it could have passed months earlier and with a lot more goodies if Democrats hadn't been so obsessed with making sure it was properly funded. PPACA is, in fact, the most honestly funded major bill in at least the last decade, and probably in the last two decades. Does anyone care to seriously debate that?
And one more thing: there's a silver lining here. Mankiw and Krauthammer are, tacitly, conceding that tax increases reduce the deficit. Progress!
