I write this piece amidst of a changing tide when it comes to social media and recruiting. Websites like Facebook and Twitter have become important recruiting tools, as commits attempt to persuade other athletes across the nation to come to their schools. From the outside looking in, one can see the successes and opportunities this new way of recruiting may bring. But, if you delve deeper into the depths and peel back the layers. It may not seem so rosy.
With the ease of interaction amongst recruits, it also brings fans closer to their teams, including high school students being recruited by said team. With a flurry of characters and a click of the mouse, messages can be sent to recruits in attempts to persuade this athlete to join their university. Though this idea may seem harmless to some, err on the side of caution.
It has been well publicized that a highly touted Ohio State linebacker commit unknowingly had interaction with a convicted sex offender (who was a Buckeye fan). The offender, Charles Eric Waugh, took to Twitter daily to tweet inspirational quotes to Buckeye targets, commits and current/former players. This eventually lead to interactions in person with recruits (who are usually minors).
As fans, we can all take something away from this situation. Realize that these "kids" we tweet to are usually minors (anywhere from 16-18), and interactions with commits, unless in a supervised setting, could lead to a PR disaster for your school just like Ohio State has to deal with right now. The NCAA can't regulate everyone that tweets to recruits, or who meets them in person. It is up to the fan base to be rational and self-regulate themselves.
The NCAA does recognize Tweeting to recruits as a secondary violation. But, it's impossible to regulate. I'm not here to spread the word of "right and wrong". I'm trying to make it clear that fans must self-regulate themselves before you do or say something you might regret. Too many times messages such as "I hope you tear your ACL", or "I hope you fail" are spread to recruits that didn't choose their school. Though this doesn't have a direct reflection on a fan base, it's a situation that doesn't have to occur if one would simply step away from the keyboard.
There are obvious reasons why our favorite schools have assembled a coaching staff. To coach the players, and to recruit the players they want for the program. Some fans realize this and some don't. Some take to Twitter and emulate they are the coaching staff and try to recruit themselves. Though the love for your university shows, I applaud and commend you for such undying loyalty. But, nine times out of ten (and it's a VERY rare 1 tenth of a percent) recruits won't listen to fans and will decide on their own. Coaches work very long hours and work very hard to scour the country looking for student athletes that would fit their program. In the case of Ohio State, though incredibly rare and unfortunate, the progress made with their recruit was lost due to the actions of one fan. Even though the circumstances are extreme, don't be that fan.
Is it impermissible to have a harmless Twitter conversation with a recruit? Absolutely not. Should it ever be escalated to the next level? No! Leave interactions face-to-face with the coaches, and take care of being proud fans. No one is stopping you from talking about how great your university is. Just show some moderation and control in your comments.
The NCAA can't stop fan interaction on social media, there's too much ground lost every day that the NCAA cannot keep up. The fans are all that are left. The key to winning is great sportsmanship and class. Interactions with recruits doesn't have to be as complicated as most make it out to be, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all.

Marko Marin, 19, scored both of Gladbach's goals in its third win of the season, which moved it out of the relegation zone and into 14th place. Bradley was making his seventh appearance in 12 games and his sixth start. It was the second time he went the full 90 and he broke up several Bielefeld forays.
Hannover 96's Steve Cherundolo, playing his 192nd German First Division game, provided a fine cross that Jiri Stajner squandered from inside the goal area as Hannover fell 2-1 loss at FC Cologne -- Hannover failing again to notch back-to-back wins. Hannover is in 13th place, two points ahead of Gladbach.
Defender Neven Subotic failed to convert a half-chance in the fourth minute as Borussia Dortmund suffered its second loss of the season - 2-1 at Hamburg SV.

Personal Information
Personal Bio
Merry Meet fellow anime enthusiasts and Otaku alike. I am fondly known by many names, some good and some not so good - to be sure aside from whistling at me like a dog your guaranteed to receive an answer to almost any (and I really do mean any) name thrown at me. Aside from Nigel... I'm not sure why since I was nicknamed Nigel in school.
Otherwise, I'm Ian - soon to be 26 (eep) and I've been into Anime for quite a while, kudos to Neko-Chan for getting me into it heavily.
I'm all about the extreme, if there is a way of embarrassing someone I've found it, from random commentary to random shenanigans.
Favorite embarrassing moment:-
Ian - "Lauren get your video camera out"
Lauren - "Why?"
Ian - "Record me chasing the pidgeons, I'll youtube it to Benny Hill music"
Lauren - "....."
Ian - "Seriously"
Lauren *blush* - "Your an embarrassment"
N.B - I would like to point out that due to the vulgarity of most of my embarrassing moments that one was the cleanest one I could think of.
But due to the extremity of my nature it seems only natural that I attempt my first cosplay this year, Crossplay being the one I'm going for (Naturally) although I do plan on doing a Byakuya cosplay as well
Cosplay Bio
I haven't really cosplayed yet, am looking forward to the challenge it will give me though (Especially since, good as I be on a sewing machine, my drawing skills suck - so I will be relying more on brain and memory)
For the whole idea in general I've been interested in the whole anime scene since I was 10 or something (I watched an episode of Sailor Moon in Japanese) and searched for it until I met a friends little sister; thus my journey began

Why These Activists Created A Guide To Fighting Online Harassment
Though plenty have tried to minimize the experience for years, online harassment is a serious issue and blatant evidence of persistent sexism. It's widespread one, too: 25% of young women online have been sexually harassed and 26% have experienced stalking on the internet, according to a recent Pew study and another study found that 70% of the people who reported severe online harassment between 2000 and 2013 were women.
Now more than ever, though, courageous women are speaking out about their experiences and trying to put an end to this problem once and for all — including women like activists Anita Sarkeesian, Renee Bracey Sherman, and Jaclyn Friedman. This trio recently contributed to the movement by teaming up to create "Speak Up…

About this pro
How does your service stand out?
My experience as a Realtor shows thru with my work. Some stagers are also Decorators. decorating and staging are opposite styles. Decorating adds color and personality to your space. Staging is about creating a focal point in each room and highliting that area. Also, staging is about de-personalization and minimalizing the decor and furniture and assessesories. Staging is about showing off the space (size and shape) in each room. Enhancing the positives and turning the negatives into positives. Staging is getting that "WOW" when the buyer first walks thru the door.
What do you enjoy about the work you do?
We enjoy viewing the property, taking the photos (before), explaining the process of What To Do, Why To Do and When To Do. Helping people has always been the best part of this job. Home Staging still allows us to work with people, much as we did as a Realtor. The after photos are saved for the statistical results after the property is sold.
Maineville, OH 45039
What types of customers have you worked with?
We Stage more Vacant homes for investors. Also, we stage vacant homes listed by realtors (where the seller has already moved). We would welcome the option to stage more owner occupied properties. This is the least expensive type of Home Staging because we are using the sellers furniture and personal items. We, generally, don't have to bring in supplies. The less supplies furnished by us, the less costly for the seller. When we do supply the assessories, these items are, for example, lamps, tables with spreads( the spreads on the tables allow us to show off color in the room and match the colors in the window treatments, We also supply the window treatments, dress our the kitchen and bathrooms.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
An owner occupied seller can, actually stage their own home with the report we provide. However, we explain,, that most sellers do not have the time, take the time to complete what is necessary. Their lives are already busy with work and family. If the seller is able to follow thru, usually the seller is not able to complete in a timely manner. A Professional Home Stager can get the job done in a timely manner which is very important to the seller whenn listing their home on the market. First Impressions are EVERYTHING.....

As for trading freedoms or security, I believe Franklin had a famous quote about that idea.It's a false choice. You don't have to give up rights to live in society with other people. To say that there can be a "compromise" between the free excercise of rights and the benefit of society is to put them at odds. The logical extension of this is that "society" would be best if there were no rights excercized at all, which is clearly false.Originally Posted by Ben
The fact is that society exists to protect the rights of its members, not to destroy or even limit them. Unfortunately, this seems to be lost on some people, and they continue to believe that unless they live on a deserted island like Robinson Crusoe, their rights are subject to the whims of others. Whether it's the whims of the majority (democracy) or the whims of a ruling body (elected or otherwise) makes no difference. It's still not true.

>Health and Nutrition>Soreness / Exhaustion between top of foot and leg
Hey all.
When I run, after about 10-15 minutes a certain area of my foot becomes increasingly tired. It's almost as if the region is being saturated with lactic acid, and I just can't get it to bend/work anymore. This region is sort of the opposite of my heel. It's the curve between where your foot connects with your lower leg, but on the top part. (Seems to be the muscles around the Inferior Extensor Retinaculum, for those anatomically inclined.)
It will start small, and I will stop to stretch it out by pulling the toe end of my foot down. But it doesn't go away. It just gets so tired there.
Background information:
No serious running instruction ever. Running in "hurricane 14"s which is a sauc-fit shoe to help with overpronation. I usually run on a track or asphalt. Mild PF of right foot, but it's not the main issue anymore. Is any other information needed?
Please help! Running for 15 minutes shouldn't make my feet so sore and tired. Are there stretches or exercises I should do? Or some change to my running?
A Saucy Wench
Try changing the lacing pattern on your shoes.
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
I have suffered with this problem for years. I used to stretch good too before and after a warming up. I would also have tension extend from the top of my foot/ankle up the front muscle of my calf. Eventually, once I was really warmed up, it would go away but it can be so painful in the beginning of a run. Definately, make sure you're not tying your shoe laces too tight (that was an issue with me) but I also discovered that rolling my calf muscles before each run has basically cured the problem. I just got a foam roller for Christmas and it has done wonders for this problem. I still stretch too.
And in the end...
Try parallel lacing to keep pressure off the top of your foot
Fuck it. I'm gonna PR this fall. Let's do this.
Lots of lacing options HERE. Including Lydiard lacing, as explained HERE and HERE.
"I want you to pray as if everything depends on it, but I want you to prepare yourself as if everything depends on you."
-- Dick LeBeau
Great, thanks all!
It didn't even occur to me that the problem might be in the laces. I tried one shoe normal (lots of X's) lacing, and one with parallel lacing, and there was a noticeable difference between the speed of onset of soreness. I will experiment more with this.
If it persists I'll maybe try rolling out my calves.
Thanks again. Will update if nothing's working.
Not in all my shoes, because the way the shoe is cut seems to make a difference, but in one type I have the left shoe laced so that it goes to the farthest back hole at the ankle and then back down to cinch in on the heel and be fairly snug and on the other foot I have the shoe tied 2 lower than normal and no laces at all in any of the upper 3 holes. But in general front ankle fatigue I have gotten when the laces are too tight across the ankle
Great suggestions on the lacing. My wife has been complaining about this same type of issue, so I am going to share this with her. I even tried the Lidyard lacing just now, myself, and WOW! Is it comfortable!
✔ Think of setting 2013 goals.
Stop being a fat slob.
Run more miles than last year.


text: This week had more plot twists than a season of Classic Twilight Zone. A clash of titans comes down to a bench play. A live GM loses to an absent one. A spud gets all starchy with the competition. You are about to enter another league. A league of not only of rebounds and assists but of points. You are about to enter, the Advanced League. Dre vs. Webz Shrewd. Dre took advantage of a dinged up Wombat team and slipped a 5-4 victory. The big story was Dre benching Clipper anchorman Caveman Kaman to win the TO cat at the 11th hour. Dre did his usual big sexy stats thing while Webz showed why he sits at number one with solid % numbers. The Gamble paid off for Dre as his insurmountable leads in some cats allowed him to do a Larry Brown on Darko with Kaman. Himat vs. Slippy Apparently, both Himat and Slippy took a page out of Dre's book and sat key guys. Only they sat their players at the beginning of the week. I guess timing is what separates the men from the boys. Himat still laid a bunch of goose eggs and then Slippy added a bunch of INJ guys to even it out. Slippy barely squeaks out a victory by the narrowest of margins...all across the board. Tater vs. Winless Winless wanted to know if his team was a pretender or a contender. I gotta say buddy, if you lose to the M*A*S*H*E*D unit, your chances of pretendership is pretty high. Tater flipped players like a game of crazy eights but never holds onto a guy to know if he's productive or not. Like they say, patience is a virtue that cannot be rushed. Rashard missed one game. Having that guy would have swung a 5-4 victory for the Hustlers. Motown vs. #1 What can you say about these masters of the weekly matchup? Dwade is looking more like an albatross around #1's neck than an er...real albatross...in the like, air. or something. Wade didn't hit a single triple and coughed up as many TO's as assists. This week Mo wasn't all that impressive but giving up pts and rebounds and trying to win everything else is a decent trade off in my book. Pants & Whackjob Uh huh. Uh huh. That's the way, I like it. Just like the washington wizzies, Jammer is proving that life is better without Agent Zero. Jammer's guard oriented attack is proving a winning recipe. Big 3's, big A's. competative in the steals and competative at the FT line. Warthog on the other hand sorely missed his star guard's freethrow shooting. Ralphie vs. Pastor Ralphie played the odds and Pastor prayed to God. Divine intervention was the key to Pastors whuppin of the Rapids. The rapids added a bunch of guys who never did anything while Pastor realized he already had guys who didn't need to do anything. Hell, he didn't really do anything himself! the Low vs. 16. 16 beat the Low at his own game...the rare cats. This means that 16 knows what he is talking about and Darko should have been an all-star here. Yep. Thats what it means. Max vs. Loanshark. Straight from a scene from I AM LEGEND, max stands alone amidst his depleted roster. Is there anybody out there???? Ok I never saw the movie but that scene should have been in there.

Mistrust Fuels The Deadliest Ebola Outbreak on Record
The deadliest Ebola outbreak on record continues to spread in West Africa, crossing country borders and claiming the lives of nearly 700 people. As local and international doctors work overtime to stem the virus, reports have emerged of other dangers facing health officials in the region.
Yesterday, Ken Isaac, Vice President of Programs and Government Relations at Samaritan's Purse, discussed the violence his staff encountered in northern Liberia trying to bury someone who had died from the Ebola virus.
"We were met with a road block, the men in the ambulance were attacked, they were beaten, they were cut with machetes," said Isaac.
So what fuels this complete distrust and sense of contempt for the people trying to do good in the region? Adia Benton is an assistant professor of Anthropology at Brown University. She's worked in Sierra Leone with the ministry of health working on the issue of infectious diseases, and she explains why are people so distrustful of the government.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the review.
You say it's got a standard mini USB socket on the bottom, but that looks a lot like the proprietary HTC connector I've got on my Hero...
... unless you meant that it's HTC's ExtUSB which is compatible with mini USB, in which case you can ignore me :)
I thought the Hero used a micro USB connector...either way it definitely takes a mini USB as I use an old mini USB charger on my Hero and it works fine.
I'm 90% sure the hero uses a standard mini-USB... but I'll confirm tomorrow just to be sure.
Yep, standard mini-USB cable works fine with it.
Just to confirm, the Hero (one of which I have in front of me right now) does not have a standard mini USB port on the bottom. It has an HTC connector called ExtUSB, which carries audio and (in some cases) video connections as well as the standard USB pins.
However, it is USB compatible, as you can plug any mini-USB cable into it and it will actually work. This isn't a coincidence, it's a work of pure genius on HTC's part. It brings the extended capabilities of a proprietary port while retaining compatibility with a standard port. Best of both worlds.
I'm just saying it looks as though the Touch2 has the same port on the bottom.
Thanks, duly noted. Totally forgot about that as I've never used it.
Apologies for the mix-up. I'll go find a banana skin to slip up on next if that helps...?
It would help, thanks. :)
And this explains why the blackberry charging cable works on the HTC hero but not vice versa... mystery solved!
@Chris: Ow, my back! *picks self up*
Oh, I should just point out I meant I'd never used the ExtUSB connector, but have used a Hero.

Not the quality I thought I would get with Cadillac!!
Hi all;
I purchased a used Canadian Cadillac CTS 2007 with 64,000 Kilometers on it in 2010. This was a Cadillac dealers car ( around Quebec City, Quebec).
It had a balance of warranty and had numerous things changed ( thankfully it was on warranty!!) The rear wheel bearings at 80,000 KL, electronic components for the
electrical engine controls, breather tubes for the rear.
It ran well for a year then the brakes were changed ( pads and discs). My cost because the warranty was over.
Last week, my transmission let go in Buffalo, New York while I was there on business. I received a call today from the tranny shop and the cooler radiator for the tranny
let go and damaged the tranny. Imagine, it only have 83,000 miles but is over the 5 year warranty even though it does not have the millage. The tranny shop ( well reconized as
one of the best ones ( AAMCO) says they have never seen this type of problem with a Caddy and said it looked like a defective cooler system. This is going to cost me 4,000 dollars to repair!! I really have no choice because I need the car and I am renting a loner for the week to get back home and need to visit customers and suppliers.
I would like to get in touch with someone at Cadillac, Canada to see why this happened and send them the paperwork for the repairs.
I know, I don't have a leg to stand on because it over the year warranty even though the millage is 83,000 miles.
I will be venting all over the net and some blogs, this should never have happened with a Cadillac. This is my first one and don't plan on getting another one.
Can someone direct me to the web site and email addresses to someone highly placed at Cadillac Canada so I can vent!!
Thanking you in advance.
Re: Not the quility I thought I would get with Cadillac!!
The trans cooler line issue is actually a common issue on these cars unfortunately.
I wish you luck in your quest for answers from GM, they might help out with the repair costs if you're lucky.
Re: Not the quality I thought I would get with Cadillac!!
aamco is not one of the best. they have multiple lawsuits against them. fraud, deception, and misrepresentation by selling unneeded trannys, as well as charging for work never performed!!
see for yourself.
i had a friend who worked there and he quit after 5 or 6 days becuase the quilty of work expected and perform was far below industry standard. personally i would never EVER go to aamco!!
Re: Not the quality I thought I would get with Cadillac!!
AAMCOs are franchises ... they're all different ... the one in our town is pretty good actually

Use Import. Your code could be something like:
rawdata = Import[ "data_file.dat", "Table" ];
xyzdata = Drop[ rawdata, 15 ];

Uninstalling/Reinstalling Mathematica 7?
I need to repair, restore, or reinstall the default "Default" stylesheet
in my copy of Mathematica 7.0.1 on a single-user 2008-vintage MacBook
running 10.4.11.
(I apparently screwed it up big time trying to edit it.)
I have the registered and licensed master Single-User CD used for the
current installation, and am thinking the easiest approach might be just
a full uninstall and clean reinstall of the entire v7 app -- but can't
find any clear discussion of how to do this anywhere in the
(There's discussion of installing the latest version over *earlier*
versions -- but nothing on uninstalling the current app, or installing
over the same current version already installed.)
Or could I find that stylesheet on the CD itself, and just copy it over?
Thanks for any advice.


text: bobg2010, The stuff in the exploit-db directory has nothing to do with metasploit (in 98% of the cases). There may be some ruby proof of concept code that is to be used with the metasploit framework, but you would have to copy those to the relevant metasploit directories. Please be aware that not all of the ruby exploits are for metasploit . As a suggestion, try using exploits in the exploit-db directory on the relevant services (you Will run into issues eventually and will be required to modify the proof of concept exploit to get it to work on the target system). This will give you a better understanding of what is going on. Then when you get a grasp of things, migrate to metasploit.

Hi peeps!
Here is a hint: As a teacher, never let your kids write a reading diary about a 336 pages book. Mine did that and I had to read and correct them all. 🙂 I apparently must have forgotten about just HOW much work this was going to be once they were done. 🙂 Only took me several hours each day over the span of ten days. I mean, yes, the kids loved it, but I seriously felt like jumping off the balcony after the 13th. 😛
However, I managed to get two outfits and pics done, so I'll be posting them, one today, and one as soon as possible, probably tomorrow or on Monday.
Lets see what my avi is wearing! 😀
The dress!
This is a new dress by Psyqueen Resident for her brand Moon Amore at WE LOVE RP. And it is such a cute dress. 🙂 It comes in eight different colour options and only costs 200 Lindens, which is a 30% discount. Each dress comes with HUD that gives you more texture options for the specific colour variant that you chose. The textures are really pretty and i like the combination of metals and silky textures. The strings around the waist is a cute detail. I also like that you can tint all these things independently. 😀 The shape of the dress is really interesting, though personally I would have wished for one 'normal' and one 'windblown' option. Still, for 200L this feels like a steal. 🙂 Also, combined with these super detailed and awesome pauldrons by Trap (Selos Dae) this dress looks totally awesome in my book.
Hair: Truth, Ramsey, light blondes (Truth Hawks, NEW!!)
Ears: The Skinnery, Puki Elongated Ears (Umazuma Metaluna)
Eyes: Ikon, Deadshine Eyes, nymph (Ikon Innovia)
Lashes: Snow Rabbit, R6 v. 1.00, attach to nose (Shirousagi Noel)
Lipstick: Mudskin & Enfant, Plump Lipgloss 9 (Sopha Porta @ WE LOVE RP!!)
Dress: Moon Amore, Helena Dress, rubi (Psyqueen Resident @ WE LOVE RP!!)
Skirt: Storybook, Spellbound Skirt, wildberry (Vix Nirvana @ WE LOVE RP!!)
Shoulderguards: Trap, Crown Pauldrons (Selos Dae @ WE LOVE RP!!)
Headflowers: Enfant Terrible, Magic Ride Gacha, common (LeEnfantTerrible Resident, @ The Arcade!!)
Headchain: Izzie's, Coin Headband, copper (Izzie Button @ Uber!!)
Necklace 1: Axix, Azir Set, copper (Elise Mannequin @ WE LOVE RP!!)
Necklace 2: Enfant Terrible, Magic Ride Gacha, common (LeEnfantTerrible Resident, @ The Arcade!!)

I am sorry, I forgot which pose I used. 😦 Lost the paper I where I noted it down.

Paramedic students benefit from LSSU, Sault Fire Department partnership
Posted: August 2nd, 2014
BACKWARDS TRAVELER – Lake Superior State University fire science student Bryn Lymburner backs an ambulance through 300 cones spread throughout a quarter-acre course July 31 on LSSU's campus. Dozens of EMS skills like this were offered to students and regional first-responders during a two-week paramedic academy conducted by Lake State in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Lymburner and 21 fellow criminal justice/fire science students will use the training to graduate as certified paramedics. The ambulance is on loan from the Sault, Mich., fire department, as is paramedic/firefighter and 1999 LSSU alum Scott LaBonte, an adjunct instructor in LSSU's paramedic program. Lymburner is a fire science generalist major from St. Joseph, Mich. Run a Web search on "LSSU fire" for more on that area of study as Lake State. (LSSU/John Shibley)

Hermiston Police Release 2013 Crime Statistics
Hermiston Police release crime statistics for 2013 and the news is mixed.
Chief of Police Jason Edminston says total crime is up 3% over the previous year, but still down 6% from the 10 year average.
While violent crimes and burglaries are down (36% - violent crimes, 23% - burglaries), larceny is up 10% and auto theft is up 22%.
In regards to auto theft, Edminston says most of the time keys are left in the vehicle and the vehicle is left unlocked.
In 2013, the total number of arrests also increased, which Edminston credits to the refocus of the majority of officers spending more time on investigations.

Keynes and Hayek and Cycles, Oh My!
Whether after a first glance or a penetrating analysis, the logic of both Keynes and Hayek often will seem valid to me. But it has always been much more difficult to discern whether or not their arguments are also sound because the factual bases of their premises remain so empirically elusive.
In an economic environment at equilibrium, our default bias might rest with Hayek insofar as his approach resonates with our commitment to subsidiarity principles? In far from equilibrium environments, whether boom or bust or war time, even if we stipulated that both Keynesian & Hayekian approaches would be equally efficacious in properly attenuating demand, what we do know, a priori, is that their costs would differ vis a vis both who would pay them and when they would be paid?
It is precisely in nonequilibrium environments (the complexity of which does not yield to facile analyses, economic much less political), then, that we might best resort to Keynes in redistributing these costs, both temporally, through monetary policy, and spatially (demographically), through fiscal policy? smoothing out the rough edges? And we must strive to do so prudently, mitigating any inherent moral hazards and perverse incentives, all toward the end of preserving a healthy social infrastructure, which is indispensable to a peaceful society?
And I suggest this notwithstanding any virtue that may or may not lie in allowing Darwinian market forces versus government interventions to choose all the winners and losers, beyond any notion that genuine compassion can be coerced through revenue strategies. I suggest this because, for example, hasn't there always been a broad consensus that a progressive tax structure simply makes for good social hygiene? And cannot the same be said for so-called entitlements, including social security and medicare? And certainly some meaningful assistance, carefully targeted, is similarly prudent during our rough patches, which can vary in duration and intensity, harming both culprits and innocent victims, alike, dangerously fraying our social fabric? The fact that we need government at all reveals that we are not angels, for neither a truly compassionate conservatism nor an enlightened social liberalism would need to first mail its largesse to the IRS from Wall Street or Rodeo Drive, if all were already, instead, sending it to the United Way or similar NGOs? It is an enlightened self-interest, rather, that affirms the government's role in providing such goods and services and relief, all toward the end of maintaining domestic tranquility. The government's maintenance of this vital social infrastructure is no less important to our national security than our financial, energy, utility 1
and transportation infrastructures or our military. Without them, we could fall into chaos and despair.
Also important to our national security is the government's fiscal soundness. And the sad reality is that, as a government, we cannot always afford even what we need, so triage and discipline become essential. This is not the same as saying, however, that, as a people, we might not be able to afford it. But there is only so much that can be coerced before a people, rightly or wrongly, would revolt, before a goose would fly away with its golden eggs, before the capital markets would pitch their investment tents elsewhere. Before a classical liberalism or modern libertarianism engages a social liberalism in a political over against, it has first responded to an anarchist critique and opted for limited government versus no government, but it has done so, presumably, for pragmatic reasons and not ideological principles? So, surely the libertarian critique must already be in touch, theoretically, with the pragmatic apologetics for both distributist and redistributist strategies? as recommended - not only by a practical realism -but - by the socialization impetus of subsidiarity principles, themselves, which state that, when all things are not otherwise equal, a rugged individualism must yield to a higher level of human organization? It's the "all things being equal" nuance that seems to escape today's libertarian impulse, radicalizing limited government into an ideological absolute rather than recognizing it, instead, for what it should be, merely a default strategic bias.
Common ground already exists for maintaining a progressive tax structure. Explore it without charging one another with waging class warfare or protecting the rich.
Common ground already exists for temporary Keynesian strategies. Explore it without charging one another with "tax & spend" or "give aways to the rich" or accusing the Federal Reserve of near-treason. Meet already-identified, real infrastructure needs earlier than planned in this exceptionally favorable labor cost and financing environment, but don't imagine that "make-work" initiatives and government employment, in and of themselves, are otherwise an effective use of idle human capital in the long run. Rescues should be targeted at institutions with a national security significance (financial infrastructure and credit pipelines) while markets are best left to sort out other industries (automobile?).
Common ground already exists for many of our already deeply-embedded Hayekian insights, which advocate the efficacies of lightly-regulated free markets. Explore it without disingenuously calling for government to "get out of the way" or demagogically blaming unavoidable business cycles all on deregulation. 2
Common ground exists for maintaining a social safety net. Explore it without frightening its recipients or substantively dismantling it.
Common ground exists for tax reform, precisely because the code IS ALREADY choosing winners and losers. Reform it and make it neutral for businesses (without national security significance) while preserving its otherwise progressive attributes for individuals.
Common ground already exists regarding the political parties and factions' willingness to employ BIG GOVERNMENT: whether the social cons with their moral statist tendencies, the Trotsky-cons with their neoconservative overseas ambitions and militarism, the tea party with their loyalty to our Founders' words - well, except for the document that they wrote which they imagine badly needs amending, the theo-cons with their desire to rewrite our science textbooks and the social liberals with their designs on micro-managing the economic order. It may be that the libertarians are the most faithful to our classical liberal principles in their reluctance to deploy BIG GOVERNMENT anywhere, whether in social, economic or foreign affairs, but they have also been our kooky-cons, because they treat limited government as an absolute value rather than a strategic bias.
In closing: "Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.� William F. Buckley

Haitian judge recommends that 10 American missionaries detained in Haiti be released, the Associated Press reports.
The 10 are charged in connection with an alleged attempt to kidnap more than 30 Haitian children and take them out of the country.
Update at 2:09 p.m. ET: MSNBC's Miguel Almaguer, reporting from Haiti, says the judge quoted in the AP report denies saying that he recommends the missionaries be released.
(Posted by Doug Stanglin)
Update at 6:05 p.m. ET: AP is sticking by its report, which is based on an interview with the judge. Here's the latest:
Judge Bernard Saint-Vil has the final word on whether to free the missionaries, though he gave the prosecutor-general the opportunity to raise objections. He said he was accepting defense attorneys' request to provisionally free the Americans while an investigation of the case continues.
It is unclear when the missionaries, most from an Idaho Baptist church group, might be released, and Saint-Vil said it was too early to say whether they would be able to leave this earthquake-crippled Caribbean nation if granted provisional freedom. It is also unclear what bearing releasing the missionaries might have on whether they go to trial.
Saint-Vil on Thursday privately questioned the last of a group of parents who said they willingly gave their children to the Baptist missionaries, believing the Americans would educate and care for them.
"After listening to the families, I see the possibility that they can all be released," Saint-Vil told The Associated Press. "I am recommending that all 10 Americans be released."
It wasn't known late Thursday whether the prosecutor had received Saint-Vil's formal recommendation. The prosecutor couldn't be reached for comment. The missionaries were arrested Jan. 29 while trying to take 33 children to the Dominican Republic, where they hoped to set up an orphanage. Last week they charged with child kidnapping and criminal association.

It will be hard for the incoming government to manage foreign exchange rates, departing economic and fiscal policy minister Seiji Maehara said Wednesday.
Japan is moving in "a good direction" as the yen's rise has been corrected and stock prices have advanced, Maehara told a news conference.
But it would be "difficult" to keep yen rates at levels the incoming government thinks are appropriate, Maehara added.
Japan should focus on efforts to enhance its economic growth potential instead of expanding fiscal spending through public works growth, he said. "It would be totally meaningless if supereasy monetary conditions are not used to improve the strength of the real economy," he said.
The dollar climbed above the ¥85 line for the first time in 20 months in Tokyo trading Wednesday morning on expectation that new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will push the Bank of Japan to further ease monetary policy.

|Which is better because:
|Go to bed and stay there
|"If you get out of bed one more time, I'll scream."

|The expectation for the behaviour is clear and unemotional.
|Eat her peas and carrots

|Brush her teeth
|"No bedtime story if you don't brush your teeth."
|"It's time for bed. What do you do first to get ready?"
|It lets her know it's time for her bedtime routine without being punitive.
|Behave in the supermarket
|"Stop running now or no TV when we get home."
|"Can you help me find the cereal you like?"

|Ask without whining
|"If you whine once more, I'll take your sticker book away."
|"I'd like to listen, but I can only understand your normal voice."

|"No dinner until your room is clean."

|Stop tattling
|"I'm not taking a tell-tale to the playground."
|"You're upset with your sister. You need to tell her why."
|It helps your preschooler understand that children have to work it out together.
|Be quiet in the car
|"If you scream one more time, we'll turn around and go home."
|"I can't drive while you're screaming. I need to pull over until you've calmed down."

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Once again the problem in Oakland is much less a computer system problem as it is a people problem. A new expensive program with a fancy acronym, headed by yet another high paid manager and trying to do all things for all people may not be the panacea suggested by the author of this article. For staff, the mission will be confusing when you combine life safety goals with commensurate goals of avoiding displacement of tenants and reducing costs for owners. Those goals will inevitably be in conflict. When that occurs, which goals are the priority in decision making will be problematic, inconsistent and ultimately political. At the end of the day, "code enforcement" includes zoning codes, building codes, fire codes and housing codes. In addition to looking at different things when inspecting a property, the people who perform each task have different backgrounds, education and training. The current situation is that those people do not communicate with each other in any meaningful way in order to identify problem properties and jointly coordinate mitigation plans. If they did, the recent tragedies, where all facets of code enforcement had knowledge, could never happen. In most cities, there are internal systems of communication that make code enforcement happen every day. Oakland's Building Department has budgeted and spent millions over the last 20 years promising high tech solutions to this inspection problem and nothing has changed. Why will it be different this time? What really has to change is the current inexperienced leadership, especially at the top of the food chain. There has to also be a retraining of staff so that they realize how the work they do is connected organizationally and systems set up to facilitate internal communications. It's not the system, it's the culture!
No re-imagination of code enforcement is necessary for rental properties.
A person renting out a property isn't a low income individual. Certainly a company isn't. If either category can't or won't maintain the property so as to make it habitable by the code, they need to divest, either voluntarily or be forced.
Cases like Ghostship and the halfway "halfway house" cannot be tolerated.
Thank you...reading from Copenhagen, Denmark, and after being in a march of solidarity recently, seeing all the 'ordinary' people who showed up, your words resonate deeply....and think it's very important to frame the response this way. Peace and love.
translation: I will fight the fight while I whine and dine off from taxpayers for almost the last 20 years
@SRRnPMR ::: snapping back with 'black on black crime' to a deep statement about resistance to oppression only reveals your own ignorance and racism . white on white crime is virtually equal to black on black crime, across the board
shame on you
thank you, @cat brooks
The mayor says. "Oaklanders can rest assured that our government will continue to protect all its residents and defend our progressive values." She needs a good long look in the mirror. Scores died in an unsafe warehouse turned into apartments and artists' center, just 500 feet from a firehouse. Why and how? Basic municipal duties for safe building codes was not a priority while clamoring to be among world leaders on climate change. Abject failure in governing.
Francesco writes: "I know a manager at one of the local Bank of America branches who is always looking for young people who want a start in the banking and finance industry. Why not stop in and inquire?.... Then you could do your artwork at night."
That means assuming that what B of A does is more worthwhile than what artists do, and must be assigned higher priority -- with creativity relegated to whatever time's left over. However, such values can also be seen as those of a warped corporate system that's increasingly totalitarian as it crowds out other options (and demands more and more of our time and attention).
Under the circumstances, it's no wonder that people start looking for workarounds -- some more viable than others. I might suggest driving for Lyft or Uber rather than working at B of A, but there are problems with that as well. Unfortunately, all the alternatives are makeshift.
"Harm reduction."
Like handing out free needles because people are going to do heroin one way or another, so give them clean needles.
Actually enforcing laws against fire traps and against illegal, unsafe housing situations remains the best "harm reduction" of all in this instance.
Efforts at Harm Reduction are starting. It's too late to stop the coming round of evictions, but perhaps in the new spaces that will be created in Vallejo, Stockton, Fresno, will be safer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XtBIjV… which is a longer version of this: http://www.thestranger.com/slog/2016/12/06…
With this much evidence of manslaughter why isn't Derick in jail? The wife, too? He is a flight risk.
The Former LoBot Gallery Residents' friends at Ghost Ship / Satya Yuga are clearly guilty of manslaughter. The evidence in the press, and that I saw first hand, is overwhelming, as I see it.* That they say "To our friends at Ghost Ship: We are with you" is despicable. Shame!
Former residents: You explicitly ally yourself with people who hosted events that attracted large crowds to spaces that not only didn't come close to meeting the codes for assembly spaces, they didn't even come close to the much more lax codes for business or residential space - or even the codes for warehouse space, which are the most lax of all. Worse than that, you want to CONTINUE TO DO SO. Damn you. 36 dead isn't enough? Dead bodies are not art.
If you want folks not to call to have your space red tagged, don't say "We want our spaces retrofitted for modern fire-suppression systems, exits, and alarms." If you'd said, "We want a little time to retrofit our spaces with as much safety features as we can afford - modern fire-suppression systems if we can, but certainly sufficient well-marked exits, fire extinguishers and alarms." I'd be with you.
*Unmarked and locked exits, extremely unsafe electrical wiring, no working fire extinguishers or smoke detectors... There are numerous reports that the residents who ran Ghost Ship laughed at people who raised safety concerns.
Just another broken minded liberal thinking that their self-importance should be heard by everyone, when in fact nobody cares. He wants us to believe that he has a firm grasp on this matter, when in reality he keeps spouting the liberal nonsense that is prevalent on the #fakenews from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and sometimes at FOX. All of America sees a fool on a mission that can't see the truth in front of his very face. Hillary is the one that stole the votes, which is the only reason that it seemed close (3 million proven illegal immigrants voted in California alone). On this fact alone we, the United States of America, will change the law where you idiots will go to prison when you break it next time. Only legal residents should vote, but the moral high road liberals think it's okay to let the whole world vote in our elections. I have never heard of anything so idiotic in my life. Keep up the stupidity and we will be forced to enact laws that will make your liberal minds explode! Annexing the California vote is certainly a viable option.
Ron Dellums has provided inspiration to work for social and economic justice for the entire 48 years I have lived in the Bay Area. Happy to hear from him in these times when we need his voice and wisdom.
There is a whole new level of relevant issues that need to be examined in the wake of this tragedy, and that is how many of these "artists" are working the system, getting food stamps and SSI and having their children taken care of by child protective services while partying and having fun while other, more responsible people have to work for a living.
Derrick Ion Almena and his wife...were they getting food stamps? Was he sucking down 100 percent disability for his rather obvious bipolar condition, claiming he couldn't work while managing this unsafe space, collecting rent, not fixing things...and then they'd fly off to Bali and party.
What were the kids doing in a hotel BEFORE the fire? Who was paying for that? Child protective services? Section 8? The taxpayers in some form or another?
And it's not just Derick. It's so many of these creative rebels who have their straws stuck into the great big chocolate milkshake of the system, sucking the system all day long while claiming to be such rebels...and the whole time, the system supports their bad lifestyle choices with food stamps, and disability payments, and taking care of their children in foster homes whole these irresponsible "adult children" party and smoke pot and, if they can be bothered to show up to vote, vote for an ever-larger welfare state.
When the Manson Family committed helter skelter, when the Hells Angels bashed heads at Altamount, that was the end of the era of the hippies and the free love...that was the death of the prolonged childhood of the hippy era.
Well, the grownups who believe in jobs and tightening borders and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps are taking over in January. And the "thriller love child" of Manson just marked the death of the era of Personal Non-Responsibility and privileged identity politics under Obama. The examination of what happened here, it is bigger than Oakland. The whole nation is finding symbolic meaning in what happened.
Here's the deal... Members of the community, all about safe spaces, knew about the conditions at Ghost Ship and the operator (see other articles right here on EBX)... And said nothing/did nothing.
LoBot operated, by their own admission for 13 years, and somehow never bothered to advise/press the existing building owner for needed repairs. After the building changed hands, they self reported to the city to force the new owner to make the long overdue repairs (I read the articles right here on EBX)... And the building was bad enough it was red flagged! The city told them to fix it, and they basically tore it down. While I've never seen a statement from the building owner, I suspect the building was so bad that's what had to be done. Not surprising as it was vacant and decaying in '96 when I moved to West Oakland as was most of the area.
The sad and simple fact is it was advantageous for these people to operate this way... The property owner and the lease holder. They built and sold illusion of safety. Those who didn't go along got subtle and not so subtle enforcement with little or no recourse. Things that are underground seem to always go that way. Bullies thrive in secrecy, in the underground.
Tove has it dead right. Get politically active. Stop throwing temper tantrums and make a difference. I know when I voted this year, I had to swallow the vomit and we still got the horror... But I did it because NOT doing it was NOT standing against it.
The city doesn't have the money it needs. It sure isn't going to get it from the art community, nor will it come from the poor or dwindling middle class; there just isn't enough there. If we keep playing "We're different and you're the other", all we do divide and expose the ever smaller groups the the vicious bullies of the world... And they win. Get in the solution. Marching isn't it.
I know a manager at one of the local Bank of America branches who is always looking for young people who want a start in the banking and finance industry. Why not stop in and inquire? It can't hurt to ask. Then you could do your artwork at night and in the evenings. I did the very thing as a young man, carving models of WWII battleships from wood that the local furniture maker saved for me. You know, odds and ends that he couldn't use. Once a year I always presented one of my better pieces, just to say 'thanks'.
Why the need for censorship people? Someone doesn't agree and you want it removed? And I bet the people asking to remove comments cry when they don't get heard.
Tove had some valid points whether you agreed with it or not. No guns are being placed on anyone's head to live this lifestyle. It's a choice.
There are also rules for the GREATER safety of everyone and not just a select few. The landlords are also at risk which the author is asking to bear. It's all about self responsibility.
Bigfrog - Yes, I think I was incorrect there, in that I'm sure many of the buildings were abandoned or unoccupied when artists moved in. That point was secondary to the rest of the post, and I should have just left it out.
Hey Carlos Jamal - I was one of the original inhabitants at Lobot and nobody was displaced when we moved in. It was formerly a business and the guys who built the living spaces created a place where 15 - 20 people lived. And in my situation I freed up a low rent room for someone else to occupy.
The housing crisis is a travesty, as was this horrific fire.
Unfortunately, your way of life, of living in a poverty of choice to create art, appears to no longer be sustainable in this area of the world. You were not the first people to live in Oakland, nor would you be the first people displaced. Likely, you displaced someone when you arrived.
You are in charge of your own life. You are at no one's mercy. Your problems and issues have arisen because of the lifestyle choices you have made. You should come to terms with that.
To retrofit buildings for fire safety, you need fire marshals. You need money. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

SMAP is one of four first-tier missions recommended by the National Research Council's Committee on Earth Science and Applications from Space (Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond, Space Studies Board, National Academies Press, 2007). SMAP data have both high science value and high applications value. The accuracy, resolution, and global coverage of SMAP soil moisture and freeze/thaw measurements are invaluable across many science and applications disciplines including hydrology, climate, carbon cycle, and the meteorological, environmental and ecology applications communities.
Future water resources are a critical societal impact of climate change, and scientific understanding of how such change may affect water supply and food production is crucial for policy makers. Current climate models uncertainties result in disagreement on whether there will be more or less water regionally compared to today; SMAP data will enable climate models to be brought into agreement on future trends in water resource availability. For these reasons, the Committees Water Resources Panel gave SMAP the highest mission priority within its field of interest.
The SMAP instrument includes a radiometer and a synthetic aperture radar operating at L-band (1.20-1.41 GHz). The instrument is designed to make coincident measurements of surface emission and backscatter, with the ability to sense the soil conditions through moderate vegetation cover. The instrument measurements will be analyzed to yield estimates of soil moisture and freeze/thaw state. The antenna scan has a swath width of 1000 km providing global coverage within 3 days at the equator and 2 days at boreal latitudes (>45 degrees N).

Mr Miliband was taking questions on a Moscow radio show when an elderly woman claimed in Russian: "I am Sofia Davidovna Miliband, I am your relative; I am the only one left."
Although radio staff were initially concerned that the call was a hoax, Mr Miliband went to meet the 87-year-old former academic.
The pair worked out, with the aid of translators, that Mr Miliband's great great grandfather was the brother of Sofia's grandfather, who were both born in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw in Poland.
Mr Miliband told BBC Radio 4's PM programme it had been a "magical experience" and said his relative was "an amazing woman".
"It's great, and a very moving and fantastic experience for me," he said.
"I did sort of vaguely know when I was a kid about her existence. The way I know about it, if you look on a library computer her name pops up.
"I've always slightly wondered about her ever since I was a kid, it was just amazing for me to come face to face with her and she really thought it was a great thing."
Mr Miliband said Sofia had not been particularly impressed by his position, nor that of brother David who is Foreign Secretary.
But he did get a photograph to show other relatives and pledged to be in regular contact with her. He added: "I think she was much less interested in what David or I do than in making the family connection and realising she wasn't the last Miliband around and that there was a branch of the family in Britain."Reuse content

MLB: Pirates win fourth in a row
PITTSBURGH — The Pirates used three right fielders, including two who had never played the outfield in a major league game before, and five relief pitchers, on Saturday night.
Somehow, all the maneuvering by manager Clint Hurdle paid off.
Pedro Alvarez singled in the go-ahead run and the Pirates won their season-high fourth straight game, 4-3 over the St. Louis Cardinals.
"We drew a lot of stuff up in the dirt," Hurdle said. "Everybody showed up, though, and did what they were supposed to do and it ended up being a really gritty win for us."
The Pirates were short two outfielders as center fielder Andrew McCutchen missed a game for the first time this season because of soreness in his left foot and right fielder Travis Snider was serving the second game of a two-game suspension from for his part in an April 20 brawl with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Starling Marte, normally the left fielder who was starting in center in place of McCutchen, left the game for pinch-hitter Gaby Sanchez in bottom of the fourth inning because of lower back stiffness. Josh Harrison, who started in right field, moved to left and Sanchez took over in right for his first outfield action of his seven-year career.
Hurdle then decided to move shortstop Jordy Mercer to right field in the eighth inning with the Pirates holding on to a 4-3 lead. Backup shortstop Clint Barmes replaced Mercer, who played in the outfield for the first time in his three-year career.
Neither Sanchez nor Mercer had a ball hit their way.
"We had talked about the possibility (on Friday), so Gaby was prepared," Hurdle said. "Jordy's athletic and he has a good arm. "I figured he could catch the ball and maybe throw someone out if he had to."
Alvarez's hit capped a four-run fourth inning against Lance Lynn (4-2) that helped the Pirates wipe out a 3-0 deficit.
Harrison and Ike Davis each had two hits for the Pirates, who have won 11 of their last 14 games against the Cardinals in Pittsburgh. Harrison also hit an RBI single in the fourth.
Jared Hughes (2-1) retired all four batters he faced in relief of starter Edinson Volquez, including getting Matt Adams to ground out with the bases loaded to end the fifth inning and preserve a one-run lead.
Mark Melancon earned his fourth save with a scoreless ninth, striking out Allen Craig with runners on first and second for the final out.
Hughes and Melancon combined with Justin Wilson, Bryan Morris and Tony Watson for 4 1-3 scoreless relief innings.
"It's a tough spot with the bases loaded, but all I'm thinking is to keep the ball down and let my fielders make a play and that's exactly what happened," Hughes said.
Lynn allowed four runs in six innings and is winless in four starts since winning his first four starts of the season. He gave up nine hits and two walks while striking out five as the Cardinals dropped to 3-5 on their 10-game road trip.
Volquez and Jose Tabata hit consecutive run-scoring groundouts in the fourth inning before Harrison and Alvarez followed with RBI singles.
"What can I do? I gave up a bunch on infield singles," Lynn said. "It's not like I was giving up double-double-double-double. I was giving up infield singles — that's just really bad luck, and I've had those games and I've had nights when I've given up double-double-double and given up three runs. As a pitcher you'd much rather give up double-double-double because singles (are upsetting)."
NOTES: St. Louis C Yadier Molina, who is 0 for 12 in his last four games, got a day off. ... Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez will be activated from the disabled list and start Thursday at Milwaukee. He has been out with right knee inflammation since April 20. ... The three-game series ends tonight with St. Louis RHP Shelby Miller (4-2, 3.20) facing RHP Charlie Morton (0-4, 3.45). It will mark the first time ESPN has televised a Sunday night game from Pittsburgh since 1996.

Fox News still falsely comparing health care reform legislation to Canadian system
Fox News has seized upon reports that Canadian Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is seeking medical treatment in the United States to criticize health care reform, claiming that his medical decision casts doubt on the Canadian system and that the Democrats' health care reform legislation would "change our system to be more like Canada's." In fact, the health care legislation proposed by both the House and Senate is not modeled after the Canadian single-payer system and maintains the majority of the private health care industry.
Fox News uses Canadian premier's heart surgery to attack health care reform
Johnson: "Government-run health care ... isn't cracked up to what some people say." On the February 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. used the report that Williams traveled to the United States for heart surgery to attack health care reform. Co-host Steve Doocy suggested that health care reform is an attempt to model the American health care system after Canada's by claiming, "This is not good if you're going to say, OK, the Canadian system, which perhaps we could model ours on, is great." Johnson replied, "Government-run health care apparently ... isn't cracked up to what some people say."
Van Susteren asks, "[S]hould we really change our system to be more like Canada's?" On the February 3 edition of Fox News' On the Record, host Greta Van Susteren introduced a segment about Williams' heart surgery by saying, "If you think we should have more government-run health care, listen to this." After explaining Williams' decision, Van Susteren asked, "So, if this guy is leaving Canada for treatment, should we really change our system to be more like Canada's?"
Doocy: "Canada has been held up to be a model" for health care reform. On the February 4 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade stated: "President Obama [was] talking to Democrats yesterday about pushing through health care reform. But if an overhaul is such a good idea, why is a popular Canadian official choosing to come to the U.S. for care?" Doocy claimed that Williams' decision had made him "a poster boy for the other side that is against health care in this country, because Canada has been held up to be a model." Fox News contributor Dick Morris responded by asserting that he had heard from an AARP "competitor group" that "our system will be exactly like the Canadian system if Obama has his way." Morris continued the comparison by calling health care reform legislation "the government takeover of the 16 percent of our economy that's health care."
Carlson: "Many people say that health care reform would turn us into Canada." On the February 4 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson asked cancer survivor Amy Kaplan, "Do you have any concern when you hear the reports in the last couple of days that this premier from Canada who needs heart surgery is going to come to the U.S. to get that surgery instead of staying home in Canada? Many people say that health care reform would turn us into Canada." After Kaplan explained that the pending health care reform legislation is not the same as the Canadian system, Carlson replied, "Varying opinions on this very controversial topic."
In fact, the health care reform legislation being proposed is not similar to the Canadian single-payer system
Neither health care reform bill establishes a single-payer health care system. Neither the Senate's health care reform legislation [1] nor the House's health care reform bill [2] would establish a single-payer health care system.
Klein: "What we're actually going to get is not socialized medicine or single-payer health care." In a June 9, 2009, Washington Post article [3], "Health Reform for Beginners: The Difference Between Socialized Medicine, Single-Payer Health Care, and What We'll Be Getting," Ezra Klein explained that "the promiscuous use of the terms" single-payer and socialized health care "has created a rather confused population." According to Klein, "[W]hat we're actually going to get is not socialized medicine or single-payer health care. It's a hybrid system." Unlike the Canadian system, the American system will have "private doctors and private hospitals" and will "be a uniquely American system, and hard to describe with a single epithet."
Obama has rejected Canadian-style single-payer system and U.K.-style nationalized health care. During a March 26, 2009, online town hall discussion [4], Obama was asked: "Why can we not have a universal health care system, like many European countries, where people are treated based on needs rather than financial resources?" He replied, in part, "I actually want a universal health care system," adding that rather than adopting a "single-payer system" like Canada's, "what I think we should do is to build on the system that we have and fill some of these gaps." Indeed, Obama has embraced [5] the creation of a federally funded "public plan" as one of many insurance options available in the health care market, not the sole option, as in "single payer" systems such as Canada. And as PolitiFact.com noted in a March 5, 2009, post [6], "Obama's plan leaves in place the private health care system, but seeks to expand it to the uninsured" and "the plan is very different from some European-style health systems where the government owns health clinics and employs doctors," as in the United Kingdom.
