Firings will save health care provider an estimated $1.5 million per year
LORAIN - The president and chief executive officer of Community Health Partners was fired Thursday along with 11 other administrators in what officials are saying is an effort to streamline how the health care provider operates.
The elimination of Mark Nosacka`s job and those of the other administrators was done so that CHP, which operates Community Regional Medical Center in Lorain, could be folded into the Toledo region of the hospital system`s parent company, Catholic Healthcare Partners, as opposed to operating as a stand alone division.
The move will save about $1.5 million a year, said Steven Mickus, president of Catholic Healthcare Partners` Northern Division.
Edwin Oley, president of the Lorain hospital, will assume Nosacka`s responsibilities by becoming president of the Lorain division of Mercy Health Partners, which is the name of the Toledo region, as well as continuing to lead the Lorain hospital.
Mickus said the changes will improve patient care at the system`s three facilities in Lorain County: Community Regional Medical Center in Lorain, Allen Medical Center in Oberlin and the specialty hospital at St. Joseph Community Center in Lorain.
"Community Health Partners must make changes in order to continue to provide the level of care our patients expect and deserve and to continue our mission of providing quality care to all,`` Mikus said. "We`re going to be able to better tend to patients. We`re not exporting health care to Toledo by any means."
Mickus acknowledged that the growing financial problems of Community Health Partners also were to blame for the cuts.
He noted that hospital systems around the country are struggling to balance the books due to a decline in reimbursements and an increase in the number of uninsured or underinsured patients. A release announcing the changes notes that one-third of all U.S. hospitals are losing money.
In Lorain, the hospital has been cutting costs wherever possible. It has laid off employees over the past few years, and it recently severed its five-year relationship with University Hospitals of Cleveland to jointly operate the Ireland Cancer Center on Schadden Road.
Last month, it discontinued supplemental health insurance it once offered to 95 retired employees from the former St. Joseph Hospital, saving about $200,000, last month.
Mickus said he could not promise that the cuts are done. Community Health Partners employs about 2,500 people.
He said the changes will not affect plans Community Health Partners has to build a new medical facility, tentatively called St. Mary`s Community Hospital, next to its cancer center on Schadden Road.
Those plans are still in the conceptual stage, he said, and details about it weren`t intended for public release when an e-mail sent to hospital employees in September was shared with The Chronicle-Telegram.
Mickus said Nosacka`s termination did not have anything to do with the premature release of those plans.

If I go to every bookstore in town and buy every copy of the Koran and put them through the wood chipper have I committed a crime? No, I just wrecked a bunch of my own books.
Pace University student Stanislav Shmulevich took two Koran's that belonged to the University and put them into toilets. Did he commit a crime. Yes. He destroyed University Property. he committed an act of vandalism. For which he has been arrested and charged with felony hate crimes.
He is being charged with two felonies based on what authorities believe he was thinking when he committed two misdemeanors. He is being charged with thinking incorrect thoughts. Thought Crime.
And how do we know what was in his head. Maybe he loves Muslims and Islam but is upset that they are not taking enough action against America and wants to stir them up and get something started. Maybe he's just a really big fan of Newsweek.
And maybe he hates Muslims and the Islamic faith. Maybe he feels the same way about Muslims as they do about Christians, or Jews. So what.
One thing Stanislav is, is a warning for the rest of us. Buy your own Koran. Put it in your own toilet. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

If he is capable of shame and embarrassment, and he's a Democrat so we can't take that capability for granted, House Majority Whop James Clyburn (D-S.C.) must be wishing he had an undo command for his mouth. Here's the question from Dal Balz and Clyburn's answer:
BALZ: What do Democrats do if General Petraeus comes in in September, and says, "This is working very, very well at this point. We would be foolish to back away from it"?
CLYBURN: Well, that would be a real big problem for us, no question about that.I don't even really know how to respond. I have believed all along that the Democrats felt it was in their self interest that we fail in Iraq. I never thought one of them would be so stupid as to admit it publicly.

So I loaded one sadly dusty bicycle into the back. Took the car to the shop. The set out for home. It's only a couple of miles but it didn't take long to reach the conclusion that the bike wasn't the only thing that was dusty.
The shop closes at 4:00 on Saturday so I gave them a credit card over the phone and told them to lock the keys in it. At 5:30 I was stirring up the dust again, making the ride back into town to get the car. Aside from a couple of potentially treacherous intersections, it wasn't a bad ride.
But between the bill and the dust, I'll be feeling this one for a while.

That man is Charles Schumer. Or as one New York radio host calls him "Chuckie Cheese Schumer." (Which in Lileks world would translate into Chuck E' Fargin Cheese Schumer).
Chuck is apparently displeased that Justices Roberts and Alito turned out to be a conservative as everyone knew they were when they were confirmed to the Court.
"Were we duped?" he asked.
"Were we too easily impressed by the charm of nominee Roberts and the erudition of nominee Alito?" Schumer asked. "Did we mistakenly vote our hopes when our fears were more than justified by the ultraconservative records of these two men?"
"Yes," he said.Chock finds the newest justices' conservatism troublesome because
"The Supreme Court is dangerously out of balance. We cannot afford to see Justice Stevens replaced by another Roberts, or Justice Ginsburg by another Alito."Leaving aside that the Court is currently comprised of 4 Liberals, 4 Conservatives and 1 swing vote and couldn't possibly be more balanced. Leaving aside that a nine member court can never be "balanced" in a two party political system. Where is it written in the Constitution or in any law written under the Constitution that the Court must be balanced? When in history has the Court ever been balanced?
Like any good liberal Chuck only considers the Court balanced if it has a clear liberal majority. One cannot help but wonder if his panic over possible replacements for Justices Stevens or Ginsburg arises from some inside information on a possible resignation? Baring that, there is clearly evidence a lack of balance. Only it is Schumer that is unbalanced.

MoveOn.org, the Campaign for America's Future and liberal blogs like DailyKos.com are asking thousands of supporters to monitor who is advertising on the network. Once a database is gathered, an organized phone-calling campaign will begin, said Jim Gilliam, vice president of media strategy for Brave New Films, a company that has made anti-Fox videos.
The groups have successfully pressured Democratic presidential candidates not to appear at any debate sponsored by Fox, and are also trying to get Home Depot Inc. to stop advertising there.
At least 5,000 people nationwide have signed up to compile logs on who is running commercials on Fox, Gilliam said. The groups want to first concentrate on businesses running local ads, as opposed to national commercials.This means they are not going FOX advertisers but advertisers of local affiliate stations.
These people need a lesson in basic business decision making. Businesses rarely make advertising decisions based to the actual or perceived politics of a media outlet. Even a very conservative company like the one I work for has run advertising in Playboy. Ads are not cheep, and a thirty second television spot is very costly particularly for a small local business.
The decision is fairly straight forward. Unless someone is suggesting you advertise in the KKK monthly, you don't look at the politics - you look at the exposure. You use the money you have for advertising to get your message in front of as many likely customers as you possibly can. Your two main metrics are reach and frequency. You try to maximize the number of people you reach and the number of times you reach them.
If you think FOX is too conservative, but they are the most efficient vehicle to reach your target demographic, your choice is to write a check to FOX or spend your money less efficiently.
There's a reason you don't often see the NRA advertising for members on the Daily Kos. (OK there's two because Kos would reject the ad). The regular readers of that site are not likely to be signing for NRA membership. Assuming the ad ran, it would be a colossal waist of money.

I am humbled that Ted has presented me with a Thinking Blogger Award.
I have to agree with Ted's assessment that I don't post often enough these days. Maybe it's the scarcity that makes it such a treat? Certainly if I put the effort into posting more, the drain on my already overtaxed mental resources might lead to the rescinding of my award.
The rules are that I now have to give to the award to five bloggers who make me think. That is going to be a serious problem. I have over 100 RSS feeds bookmarked in Safari over several categories. They are almost all there because they make me think. How do I pick just five?
Well, there are some that I am going to eliminate - just because they don't need any further recognition. I don't even need to list the names, because you probably know all the BIG ones already. I'm going to give the award to some bloggers you might not know. They make me think. They can do the same for you.
Everyday Stranger. I don't usually read "personal" blogs let alone bookmark their RSS feed. I have enough challenges in my day-to-day life without spending time immersing myself in the troubles of others. Helen's writing is so compelling that I am willing to make an exception. A guest poster at her site has just announced that Helen is in the hospital. Go over there and send warm thoughts for her and the twins she is carrying.
TFS Magnum. The subtext on the banner reads "357 MAGNUM - MAXIMUM STOPPING POWER (WELL, ALMOST) -- TAKING POT SHOTS AT THE LUNACY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL DIVIDE. SUPPORTING THE 2ND AMENDMENT, AND RATIONAL DEBATE." The guiding philosophy behind a lot of what Zendo Deb Posts is "Self Defense in a Human Right." A typical headline might read "Good guys 2 Bad Guys 0."
Coyote Blog. I think Warren does a better job of describing his own blog than I could.
The original mission was to cover some of the day-to-day travails and lessons learned in running a small business. That is still part of the mission, but since I have about the same attention span as an 8-year-old boy mainlining Hershey Bars, I have found myself wandering all over the place, from business to economics to libertarian philosophy to sports to electronics.
Rhymes With Right. What more can you ask for than a solid well written blog. Greg posts a good deal more often than I do and manages to always keep it interesting.
Seth Goodin's Blog. Seth is a marketing consultant and author. He is brilliant and writes brilliantly as well. He doesn't always write about marketing but he always writes from a marketing perspective. And it can be a very enlightening perspective.
I'll leave it to them to decide if they wish to hand out any awards of their own.
Ted, thanks for the kind words and the gentle kick in the pants to remind me to keep this place from getting quite so dusty.

China's emissions of carbon dioxide have exceeded those of the United States at least two years ahead of most international estimates, according to a report issued last week by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. CO2 emissions, it says, rose an astounding 9% in 2006. China produces 12% of the world's CO2 and 25% of its mercury pollution.
In contrast, the Energy Information Administration announced that the big, bad USA's carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels fell 1.3% in 2006, while our booming economy grew 3.3%. We are using energy more efficiently and reducing emissions without Kyoto. Energy use per unit of GDP fell 4.2 % last year, and carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP fell 4.5%.
While environmentalists and congressional Democrats have shut down our domestic development of fossil fuels like oil and even clean-burning natural gas, a new coal-fired plant big enough to supply every household in a city the size of San Diego comes on line every seven to 10 days in China, exporting more pollution to California and the western U.S. than even Gore's economic straightjacket could hope to eliminate.Yet there are ZERO calls to do anything about China's emissions. China is exempt from criticism because it is a "developing nation." I think this makes it fairly clear that what al Gore and company are striving for is some sort of global egalitarianism in which the "developed" countries are held back while the rest of the world plays catch-up. Climate change is just a smoke screen. And the smoke is made in China.

Here's the latest financial news out of Cupertino. Revenues for the last quarter - which do not include much of the revenue from the nearly 1 million iPhones sold - are expected to report at $5.28 billion. Up from $4.37 for the same quarter last year.
The reason? In market share Apple has moved into a virtual tie for third with Dell. Though still far behind the PC industry leaders, Apple has seen it's market share grow from 4.8 percent in the same quarter last year to 5.6 percent.
Sorry PC people. Apple doesn't appear to be going away any time soon.

Ed Morrissey wrote a response to Representative Don Young of Alaska who responded to critics of his Pork with:
"You want my money, my money," Young stridently declared before warning conservatives that, "Those who bite me will be bitten back."I can't really ad much to what Morrissey wrote:
Oh, and Rep. Young? Bite me.Morrissey also highlighted the response from Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo when he was criticized for $200 million in Pork.
David Harsanyi pointed out that I am attempting to obtain more than $200 million in federal funding for "pet projects" this year. What he neglected to mention is that some $180 million of that money would fund just three projects: completion of the voter-approved T-REX project ($80 million), work on the voter-approved West Corridor light-rail line ($40 million) and a new Denver-area Veterans Affairs hospital ($60 million).I'm sorry Tom I don't remember there being anything about a T-Rex project on my ballot. (Though if there had been my seven-year-old son would have insisted that I vote in favor.) Nor do I recall having the opportunity to vote on improving the West Corridor light-rail line. But then again I live in Connecticut so I wouldn't have had the opportunity to vote on those issues.
Here's a thought for you to consider Congressman Tancredo if the good people of Colorado vote to have the T-Rex Project (which my seven-year-old son will be disappointed to learn is actually the multi-modal Transportation Expansion (T-REX) Project and not a plan to create a real Jurassic Park in Colorado) then let the people of Colorado pay for the damned thing.
T-Rex. The other white meat.

Senator McCain's statement to the Senate this morning was inspiring, courageous and forthright and I applaud him.
Mr. President, we have nearly finished this little exhibition, which was staged, I assume, for the benefit of a briefly amused press corps and in deference to political activists opposed to the war who have come to expect from Congress such gestures, empty though they may be, as proof that the majority in the Senate has heard their demands for action to end the war in Iraq. The outcome of this debate, the vote we are about to take, has never been in doubt to a single member of this body. And to state the obvious, nothing we have done for the last twenty-four hours will have changed any facts on the ground in Iraq or made the outcome of the war any more or less important to the security of our country. The stakes in this war remain as high today as they were yesterday; the consequences of an American defeat are just as grave; the costs of success just as dear. No battle will have been won or lost, no enemy will have been captured or killed, no ground will have been taken or surrendered, no soldier will have survived or been wounded, died or come home because we spent an entire night delivering our poll-tested message points, spinning our soundbites, arguing with each other, and substituting our amateur theatrics for statesmanship. All we have achieved are remarkably similar newspaper accounts of our inflated sense of the drama of this display and our own temporary physical fatigue. Tomorrow the press will move on to other things and we will be better rested. But nothing else will have changed.You can read the whole statement here.

By and large, I like Ron Paul. I like the core of his ideas of individual liberty and limited government. I wish we lived in a world where a man like Paul was not an anachronism and was a realistic candidate for President. That said, I do not agree with every position he has taken, and as with any politician I will not hesitate to point out where I think he is wrong.
This leaves me with the classic voter's dilemma. Do I cast a symbolic send-a-message vote for a candidate with no chance of winning or do I vote for the candidate the comes closest to the principles I support who has a chance of winning? Which vote would do the most to advance the cause of liberty? Then again I'm not a registered Republican so it's not really a choice I'm going to have to make.
But anyway, back to the video.
I had to hit pause about 10 minutes into the interview in stunned disbelief at what the candidate had to say regarding the outcome the swift withdrawal of troops from Iraq that he would institute were he to be elected president. His expectation would be that the end result would likely be similar to the current state of affairs between the U.S. and Vietnam.
He noted that we quickly pulled out of Vietnam after a bloody conflict that left 60,000 dead, and now they are trading partners and we exchange state visits. It all works out well in the end, and it makes a nice story if you conveniently skip over the 30 years of intervening history. It's a nice story about trading with a nation that was once an enemy, and a laudable goal for future relations with Iraq and the rest of the Middle East. But you can't hold up the current state of affairs between the U.S. and Vietnam as an example of what you hope to accomplish without acknowledging the hundreds of thousands who were slaughtered in the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.
Paul may be willing to skip over that bit of history because the story reads better if you just jump to the happy ending, but the rest of us should not.
My biggest complaint about Paul is probably in the area of foreign policy. His position of "avoid foreign entanglements" was probably sound and sensible policy when it was put forth by George Washington. It was probably sound and sensible policy when international communication was carried out via correspondence and ambassadors that might take a month or more to reach their destination. The world today is much more entangled than anything George Washington could have envisioned. It is entangled in business and personal ways and moves at pace Washington could never have imagined.
In this world we can no more avoid foreign entanglements than we can avoid the sun rising in the east. A foreign policy that does not recognize this would be dangerous in the extreme.
I mean this as no defense of the current administration's foreign policy, parts of which I support and parts of which I do not. I do not think Paul's foreign policy positions are correct and applicable in a modern world, nor do I think they represent the best defense of liberty. We cannot assure our liberty at home, by ignoring threats to liberty from abroad.

Dear Stephen,
I've signed up for a lot of mailing lists - some of which I've never gone back and withdrawn my name from. This particular message came from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. So let that be a lesson to you young folks out there. If you're not careful which lists you sign up for, you can wind up will all sorts of miscreants and cretins addressing you like they're a long lost friend.A decade from now, when people look back on Live Earth, what they will remember isn't what happened during the show ––instead my hope is they remember what happened after.
A decade? No one is going to look back on Live Earth month from now. In a decade the only person looking back on Live earth will be one pathetic former politician sitting in a rocking chair on the porch of his Tennessee mansion in Depends.More than 2 billion of us joined together on 7.7.07 and with one voice demanded an end to the climate crisis. It is now our responsibility to carry this movement forward and force our leaders to take action.
More than 2 billion of us laughed in amazement at the lunacy of staging an event that generated more CO2 than most small and developing countries do in a year as an attempt to end a climate crisis you claim is being caused by excess manmade CO2.That's why I'm asking you to join me in signing the Live Earth Pledge.
I pledge to live on the Earth, is that close enough? How about I pledge to do my best to fly around it as much as you do?Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have signed this document, which calls for a 90% cut in global warming pollution. Now we need to convince more of our leaders to take this same courageous stand.
We now have, in the signatures of Reid and Pelosi, irrefutable proof that there is absolutely no truth to the theory of manmade Global Warming. If both Reid and Pelosi sre on board you know two things with absolute certainty. One it is complete bullshit, and two, it's bad for America.The pledge is a simple way to show that the political will exists to take the bold steps necessary to end the climate crisis. But it will only be effective if millions of Americans speak out and add their voice.
Is there a simple way to get to stop pretending to the to save the world from a theoretical crisis. If millions of Americans speak out and ad their voice to telling you to shut up and go away, will you?Sign the Live Earth Pledge today by visiting: www.algore.com/dccc
Not if you paid me in gold plated carbon offsetts.Throughout most of our short history, the United States and the American people have provided moral leadership for the world. Establishing the Bill of Rights, framing democracy in the Constitution, defeating fascism in World War II, toppling Communism, and landing on the moon –– all were the result of American leadership.
Two words for you al Gore, "Representative Republic." The Constitution does not create a democracy. If you don't understand the basic nature of the American system of governance maybe you should go back to kindergarten and start over.Once again, Americans must come together and direct our government to take on a global challenge. Our leadership is a precondition for success.
We did come together and direct our government to take on a global challenge. Defeating global terrorists. You and the rest of your political fellow travelers seem to have lost your nerve on that one.The climate crisis offers us the chance to experience what few generations in history have had the privilege of experiencing: a mission; a compelling moral purpose; a shared cause; and the thrill of being forced by circumstances to put aside the pettiness and conflict of politics and to embrace a genuine moral and spiritual challenge.
Yes, not since the Great Depression has a generation experienced stifling regulation and massive economic dislocation on a global scale. Let's do it again, For The Children.Live Earth was a unique moment that now presents us with a unique choice.
Do I buy the concert cd on iTunes or try to scam it off Limewire? Yes, that is a unique choice.Do we use this unprecedented opportunity to organize a global movement that will last beyond the concerts themselves? Or do we let the moment pass?
I think the science is settled on this one and the overwhelming consensus is to let the moment pass.I know my answer -–– and I think I know yours.
If you didn't know mine before, you certainly should now.That's why I am issuing this challenge: Let's use this moment to pledge our support to solving the climate crisis. Just as important –– let's ask everyone we know to join us as part of this movement.
Yes let's put an end once and for all to al Gore's climate crisis traveling circus. Tell your friends to tell al Gore to shut up and go away. Together we can make it happen.Sign the Live Earth Pledge today by visiting:
Our work begins now.
Work? Work requires the production and consumption of energy. The production and consumption of energy produces carbon. Carbon causes climate crisis. So I think I'll pass.
That was fun. Thank you al Gore, for giving my day the lift is so badly needed. Write again soon.

The stated purpose of the extravaganza was to raise awareness and "consciousness" of man-made global warming. Which of course is complete bullshit. Unless you have been in a coma for the last few years - even if your only news sources are the Daily Show and E-News Daily - you are aware of global warming.
The al Gore show was classic event marketing. It was designed to make people feel like they were doing something about global warming and that it felt good doing it. The goal was to create a positive emotional connection to fighting global warming so that when the sacrifices start they wont notice until its too late.
It's not going to work.
Aside from generating a massive carbon footprint, Live Earth represents the moment that concerts for a cause jumped the shark. Bob Geldoff must be pissed.

Since there is absolutely no reason to steal anyone's campaign literature (you usually have to try very hard to avoid having it given to you) it is safe to assume that the thieves were after the laptops in the hopes that they would contain useful campaign information.
The question then is, who has the most to gain from this little bit of campaign skullduggery? None of the GOP candidates are too focused to the Democrats yet, and they have their own primary battle to fight. What would any of the also ran bottom tier of Democrats have to gain by bringing down the Obama Campaign? A better shot at being the VP candidate?
What about the other leading campaign that suddenly finds itself behind in the fundraising race? Could t be that they are feeling a little threatened? Could it be that they see hints that America might not want an unprincipaled shrieking harpy socialist as President?
I have absolutely nothing to back any of this up with, but this feels like the Clintons to me. If I were investigating they would be prime suspects.

Fantastic. This is great news.
Not for what it says about Paul, but for what it says about McCain. Ron Paul never had a shot at the GOP nomination. And McCain was a contender. And it is the was that brings a smile to my face.
But Ron Paul blew a chance to state and defend the principles he claims to hold. Following the announcment, Reason reporter David Weigel asked Paul:
What do you think of John McCain saying he might take public financing?Instead of pointing out why on principle he opposes and is not taking public financing, Paul responded:
He must need it. We don't need it.
Here's the video so no one can say this is just anti-Paul spin.
Why give an answer that implies that if he needed public financing he would take it, when he had a perfect opportunity to talk about the limited Constitutional role of government? Why just make fun of McCain when you can slam him for his statist extra-Constitutional actions?
All we hear is politics - not principles.

To clear things up first, the commutation doesn't bother me too much. Given the extraordinarily light punishment of Sandy Berger for stealing and destroying classified documents and the rather timid slap on the wrist given to former President Clinton in his perjury plea deal, this takes a step toward restoring some sort of cosmic balance of injustices. And given that Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald's investigation uncovered the source who leak of Valerie Plame's identity, Richard Armitage, in about a day, it seems clear that having identified that there was no underlying crime he just continued on until he could nail someone in the administration for something.
And when the Democrats convene their hearing they will find that the authority of the president to do what he did is written into the Constitution. They will find that the only limit the Constitution places on that authority is that it cannot be exercised in cases of impeachment. It wont take them long to realize that Libby was not impeached. That's pretty much the end of that.
The reasons for the commutation, as long as there was no quid pro quo (like say a large donation to the Bush Library) there is really no issue. The President can pardon or commute for whatever damned reason he wants. He could have done it for political reasons, he could have done it because he thinks Scooter is a cute name or he likes his butt.
But they will have their hearing. There will be sound and fury. And it will signify nothing.

Taking Stock / The Chance of Bachar's Lifetime
Joseph (Yossi) Bachar was in Mexico when the call arrived, telling him the giant accounting firm Arthur Andersen had collapsed. He went into shock.
Joseph (Yossi) Bachar was in Mexico when the call arrived, telling him the giant accounting firm Arthur Andersen had collapsed. He went into shock. Just a few months earlier, Andersen had been one of the strongest, proudest brands in the accounting world, a mammoth, a world leader, with 85,000 employees.
Yet, poof! Gone. Evaporated, disappeared. And the accounting firm of Luboshitz, Kasierer & Co, which Bachar led, not only represented Andersen in Israel, but was also part of the great global partnership. Andersen's fall not only left Luboshitz, Kasierer without an international partner, but with unnerved customers jumping ship in droves and facing a towering pile of lawsuits.
Tough times like that test the mettle of a manager, and Bachar passed the test. He guided Luboshitz, Kasierer to safe harbor, into a partnership with Kost, Forer & Gabbay. Some of Bachar's partners may have expected better, but they also knew the firm could have foundered entirely.
Open doors
After concluding the merger with Kost et al, Bachar was open to suggestions. He politely turned down the first offer, to become the next Supervisor of Banks at the Bank of Israel. But when Benjamin Netanyahu suggested that he take over as director-general of the Finance Ministry, he decided to accept.
He'd been warned time and again. He had been told the job was a showpiece devoid of power, that the true clout lay with the department chiefs, and that the only decision a treasury director-general could make on his own, apparently, was where to have lunch.
But Bachar bit. I'll find ways to wield influence, he vowed, certainly in areas where I have expertise, such as the capital market, taxation, or encouraging investments.
And he found ways. Two months ago Netanyahu appointed him head of a team setting guidelines for reforming the capital market. A team, not a committee. Enough committees had sat endlessly, discussing every last comma; it was time for action.
Vague, hazy and stuttering
Bachar's team has been working for weeks and yesterday Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu found that it means to submit its first recommendations within a month.
Bachar meanwhile has been very vague, hazy and mainly hesitant when talking about the team's conclusions. Somehow the spirit of revolution, or at least great change, is not in evidence.
It may be a matter of style. Bachar is known for his courtesy and caution, not for tub-thumping. The treasury has no shortage of bureaucrats with inflated egos who would do anything for a headline about reforms; that isn't his way.
But a nasty feeling lurks that Bachar is feeling stressed, that he hasn't decided if he wants to, or can, spearhead fundamental reform of the capital market and banking system.
It would be a great pity. This is a rare window of opportunity to reform the capital market and release the banks' chokehold on investors and savers. There is a feeling that things that have been talked about for the past 20 years now could actually be done.
There is sweeping public support. There is a Knesset whose populism is actually stronger than its cowering before the banks and tycoons. There is wholehearted support by the Bank of Israel and the macro-, and micro-, economic conditions are stable.
No walk in the park
Of course it won't be easy for Bachar. They're all his friends - the bankers, the controlling shareholders, the accountants, the lawyers. He is flesh of their flesh, he has lived and broken bread with them, they are his milieu. And when his contract at the treasury ends, he'll be back in bed with them, too.
But Bachar has to put that aside. He, more than any other bureaucrat in Jerusalem, could rise above his friendships and natural tendency to identify with his old partners, customers and cronies. That is because unlike the rest of the Jerusalemocrats, Bachar is set up. He doesn't need anybody to arrange a job for him. His protracted stint as leader of a major accounting firm in Israel has made him a very wealthy man. For him, the job at the treasury isn't a springboard to a pile of cash in the business sector.
Sometimes a person encounters the chance of a lifetime to make a mark, to lead, to change, to do the right thing. Bachar now has that chance.
It would be regrettable if he settles for some emasculated version stuffed with petty little suggestions such as abolishing stamp tax, or allowing short-selling of shekel bonds or tax tweaks. All that is nice enough, but it misses the point and one doesn't need a treasury team for that, or a reform either.
Yossi Bachar, this is the chance of your lifetime. The window of opportunity is open. The hearts and minds around you are willing, the minister wants it. Put all those interests aside and do the right thing, the thing you believe in.

NEW Graphics And MORE!
If you're like the rest of us, trying to guess which way the current wheel size debate is headed that's dominating the mtb industry is nigh-on impossible. Although, Intense Cycles has a strong, and confident plan as they have recently planted another flag for 2014, firmly in the world of bigger wheels with the newest, and bad-ass Carbine 275 carbon fiber master piece.
Intense have actually been impressively, quite active in working out the latest technology for all the different wheel size departments, that have come along in the past handful of years. The southern California design crew are in the record books, listed as the first to develop a working 29er downhill bike, all the while Intense were also one of the early beginning brands to jump on-board this 650B wagon that's shown here. Because of this latest release, the new Carbine, makes for a strong indicator they have not given up on both options for the bigger wheel size. Which is clearly not what Giant is doing, as it's clear they appear to be throwing all their eggs in this b-tweener wheel size.
Engineered for a lifetime of conquering all the diverse Enduro terrain out there, rest assured this phenomenal longer travel setup will prime you for all out trail domination. Intense put every resource they had into crafting it to be both agile, while super strong at the same time, with lightweight and responsive attributes, that are all well known by now at the Intense summer camp. The end result being that Enduro King/ Queen bent on ruling whatever the terrain throws at it. Umm Rocks? More like, pebbles. Climbs? Piece of cake. Drops? Don't sweat it. Corners? Like a true Pro. Enjoy your slice of cake, and eat it too, would be the proper metaphor in store!
In usual Intense style, it once again became quite the looker, to say the least. They kept the same VPP suspension setup that provides 140mm of rear travel, slacked out at 67-degrees for the head angle when built up with a 160mm 34 suspension fork. While the chain stay length measures at a nice 431mm, (or 17 inches).
The frame is full-carbon head-to-toe with all their high set of standards, while the weight lands at 5.5lbs (2.494kg/ 2,494.8 grams). The ride is decked out with relevant trail riding and enduro features, such as internal Reverb Stealth seatpost routing and ISCG 05 chain guide tabs, with a switch to direct mount front derailleur setup (so it'll now work with the wide range of SRAM options). The head tube is tapered, while all the X01 drivetrain cables have been externally routed. Beyond that, they have put together three new color schemes along with three new build kits for the upcoming season.
The Pro's adjustable 5.5 – 6 inch travel frames are outfitted with one of the best in the industry, that being FOX's Kashima Coated Float CTD rear shock. This complete bike also includes the new SRAM X01 drivetrain and the 160mm travel RockShox Pike fork option.
Fast, gnarly rock sections never felt so solid. So let go of the brakes and take the rough line to the bottom. The Carbine 275 will allow you to ride super-hard, and ride super-fast. It has already been proven to be a great Enduro scene weapon. They have both raced & tested it under wraps for months, making it no stranger up on the podium.
The current season upon us, is going to be an exciting year for long-travel rides.

Best in West Coast Conference: Gonzaga, Saint Mary's meet in California

Seattle Times staff reporter
The West Coast Conference's social event of the year, Part II, takes place Thursday night in Moraga, Calif., where Gonzaga and Saint Mary's stage their latest battle for supremacy of the league in men's basketball.
It's possible that in tandem, the two have never in their heated recent history been playing at a higher level. The Zags (23-2) are ranked No. 3 this week by the coaches, and since Christmas unranked Saint Mary's (21-4) has only an 83-78 loss Jan. 10 at GU.
The two are the clear leaders in the WCC. A Gonzaga win would essentially cinch no worse than a tie for the regular-season title for the Zags, but a Saint Mary's victory knots the teams in the loss column with Gonzaga facing a tougher finishing stretch, including a Feb. 28 game at Brigham Young.
It was Saint Mary's that broke Gonzaga's 11-year streak of regular-season conference titles a year ago, and the Gaels reinforced the banner year by winning the league tournament. GU has won nine of 13 since 2009.
"We're not the best team in the West Coast Conference right now," insisted Gonzaga reserve forward Sam Dower early this week, referring to Saint Mary's breakthrough last year. "We have to go out and show we're the best team. We didn't win it last year, so we still have a lot to prove."
The game matches two of the most efficient offenses in the country. Gonzaga rates No. 4 in Ken Pomeroy's ratings and the Gaels are No. 7.
It represents not only a chance for Gonzaga to better its position in the league, but to solidify its prospects for a high seed in the NCAA tournament.
Meanwhile, Saint Mary's isn't yet a lock for the NCAA, and a victory would be the Gaels' biggest this year.
"It'll be a very intense game, very physical," said Gonzaga coach Mark Few. "There will certainly be a lot of energy in that tiny little building."
He was referencing 3,500-seat McKeon Pavilion.
Gonzaga's chief worry will be Saint Mary's leading scorer, senior point guard Matthew Dellavedova, who averages 15.9 and has 99 more assists than turnovers. The team shoots a brisk .395 from three-point range.

Q: I'm only 40 years old and have been suffering from hair loss for over six months. My hair used to be very thick, but not anymore. Every time I wash my hair, a lot of it comes out my brush. I'm afraid I'm going bald. I've seen a doctor and dermatologist but neither can give me any explanation. I'm otherwise healthy and the only medication I'm taking is an oral contraceptive. Please help me. -- G.Y., Minneapolis
A: Hair loss occurs all the time. For unknown reasons, the rate of loss can be cyclical so that at times it's much more noticeable.
However, hair loss, also called alopecia, can be due to many factors, some related to scarring and others not. Scarring can be caused by chemical, physical or radiation injury, and by some severe infections and diseases. Scarring-caused alopecia is often irreversible and permanent.
Non-scarring causes of alopecia can include diseases like lupus, syphilis, thyroid and pituitary problems, and anemia. The only treatment in such cases is treatment of the underlying condition.
Non-scarring alopecia can also be caused by a variety of drugs. Anticancer drugs are especially toxic. Thallium, retinoids, anticoagulants, oral contraceptives and amphetamines are only some of the other drugs often implicated in temporary balding. Stopping or reducing these drugs may reverse alopecia.
Also, shampoo and hair dryer use may contribute to the thinning of your hair by making it more brittle. It also appears that after many years of hair dying, especially if strong bleaches are used, some people will experience a greater amount of loss than normal.
Androgenic baldness is much more common in men and is inherited. The extent of hair loss is variable and unpredictable, but hair is lost gradually and according to pattern. Both men and women can now be treated for this disorder with minoxidil.
Alopecia areata is a common hair loss disorder, especially in children and young people, and is characterized by a rapid loss of clumps or patches of hair, usually on the scalp.
The cause of alopecia areata is unknown but thought to be associated with an immune-system problem. It is associated with disorders of the endocrine system, especially the thyroid, and some forms of anemia. Psychosocial stress is also thought to play a part in the onset or worsening of alopecia areata.
Corticosteroids, either taken orally or injected into the affected skin, can be an effective treatment in persistent cases. Another treatment involves chemically producing an irritation at the sight of baldness, which can promote hair growth
I couldn't presume to diagnose your problem without more information. But from what you've said, your hair is thinning slowly rather than coming out in clumps and has been doing so for some time, suggesting association with a chronic medical problem or drug.
I'm sure you're disappointed that your dermatologist has not arrived at a diagnosis after so long a time. The cause of alopecia can often be determined by analysis of biopsied skin from the scalp. Did you have this done?
If your hair loss continues after stopping the birth control pills for a while (please do so only under medical direction), you may want to seek a second opinion and a detailed physical exam.

text: Hi, In Waltz the timing for the following figures alone would/could be normally: Double Reverse Spin with overspin (1 reverse pivot) = 12&3& Telespin = 123&1& I could join these two figures by eliminating the overspin of the dble reverse spin but a more interesting way would be to add a second reverse pivot to end facing forwards to then be able to enter the telespin. If I do this there would appear to be two main choices for timing: - Either speed up the dble reverse spin, so as to do the "overspin", ie. first reverse pivot on 3 and then use & for the second reverse pivot so as to enter the first step of the telespin with left foot on 1. Hence the total timing becomes: 1&2(&)3&123&1& Where I have bracketed the extra step of the lady in the dble reverse spin. - The other choice is to enter the Telespin on beat 2 rather than the more normal 1. The justification for this being that the whole movement taken together means the necessity to start the telespin on beat 1 might not exist. The total timing would then be 12&3& for the dble reverse spin plus overspin (first pivot) and then the second pivot on 1 and enter the telespin on 2. Here I would chose to move the syncopation of the telespin one step earlier, hence 23&1&2. This is therefore LF forward on 2, right foot around on 3 (lady does heel turn), step back for man & lady out of heel turn on &, same foot position on 1, final two pivots on "&" and 2. In both cases I am entering a throwaway oversway after this sequence so the need to exit on beat 1 or 3, etc, doesn't exist. Any thoughts?

WATCH: Michael Bublé sings with Calgary buskers
ABOVE: Michael Bublé sings with buskers ahead of his concert in Calgary on June 23.
CALGARY – Canadian crooner Michael Bublé took time out of his busy schedule to perform with a couple of talented street performers while in Calgary this week.
The Grammy Award winner sat with two young ladies on Stephen Avenue and sang along to "You Are My Sunshine."
Bublé posted a clip of the street concert on his Instagram account with the caption: "No big deal, just hanging out on 8th Ave busking with my buddies this afternoon before my show tonight in #Calgary."
In the video, Bublé can be seen wearing a baseball cap with his arms casually draped over the shoulder of one of his fellow performers, as the other strums a black guitar.
Bublé performed at the Saddledome on Monday, and will perform a second show on Tuesday at 8 p.m.
He then heads to Winnipeg for a show on Thursday followed by shows in Toronto on Saturday and Sunday.

I was a bit skecptical about the Police being so Athoritative and Unnegotiable regarding him being a Modi..But all my doubts left me with Kirti's authority over the officials.She has to be a pucciant Lady to have it.
Goes to show that there is still some decency in the govt. Some Women's rights activists do have a lot of power and that's how Keerti is
Talking about Armaan my heart flutters ..Armaan has to be the most Modest Lover..it is so very well seen with his acts of hidding the truth about his clash with Abhi and his sudden Arrival rather than Flaunting himself about how much he cares for her.Loved your punch lines the lines. Riddhima surely deserves all his Love..It's is the pack by God for her to bestow her with All the Love Through Armaan being the Medium which she Missed all her Life..I guess.
I wonder if there are really lovers like this in the world
Well Riddhima's Dupatta is the right Hide out for Armaan for Sure.Loved AR moments every single one whether her dressing his blue-black face or his sweet kisses or him barging in her room,etc. Well about the song never had I heard it before..but it was good.
without dupatta, AR love story is always incomplete
Looking forward
to see our Wounded Tigeress face Abhi and beat him on his own ground at
his own game..to see her the silver-shining in her soul..A lady of
Courage.. It is true when a Woman determines to step forward to protect
the interest of her loved ones..it's is not very considerable to come
in her ways.
yes, be prapared to see a new Ridz soon It was a pleasure as always to read ur awesome comments Shraddha

Just finished reading the part that was quite an
entertaining read!
What with Armaan climbing pipes and Abhi being jilted by Muskaan and Keerti; the part had all the right 'ingredients' to leave me as a reader decidedly happy by the end of it.
AR were at an all time romantic high for this fic (happened to read Nijal's comment and agreeably nothing beats Definitely yes!). Everything from the filmy flirtation to Armaan hiding under Ridhima's dupatta left me with a silly, satisfied grin on my face. Especially the dupatta thing, reminded me of the KASH Valentines Day episode where Armaan did the same as a Pizza delivery boy. :)
Two things touched my heart and they were Armaan laying his head in her lap (Wonderful how such a simple thing can be so romantic) and his not letting on the reason for his 'visit'. Ridhima's realization of the same was done beautifully; I am glad she'll finally confront Abhi and he'll get an earful of what he deserves to hear. Wonder if any realization of his loss will dawn.
Muskaan saving Ridhima was quite liked by me; no guesses why she wouldn't get Abhi's vote for being the Modi bahu, she's too strong willed and independent for that! Rahul's reaction to the situation would be interesting for it would provide the perfect opportunity for him to finally come out completely from under Abhi's shadow.
Awaiting Abhi-Ridhima confrontation!
p.s. Just happened to chance upon the second thread. Wouldn't want to miss an update so could you please pm me also when you update next? Thanks!

Hi Femi,
will do! I am certain I will at least make it to the bonobo sanctuary outside Kinshasa...have been trying really hard to line up permit to go to gorilla reserve in Congo-Brazzville, however, they make it virtually impossible for independent travelers to get there.
I can't wait to be back in Africa, but boy does this remind me how maddening it is to travel there independently!

Linda, it is a very long shot, but if you were from Belgium or Thailand (or possibly even the Netherlands) I might be able to help....

Hi Kimburu,
hmmmmm what if I have visited two of the three you mention?
I'm trying to find out if the road between Kinshasa and Matadi is safe for a foreigner to be traveling (who is not holed up in a big UN jeep), and whether shared taxis drive that route.
Report Abuse
Could try!!
My mother-in-law knows the wife of one of the senior Belgian Embassy staff there very well. I am pretty sure they will have a very conservative view of what is "safe", but I will ask. For sure if they say it is okay, it is.
Not sure about the timeframe for a response as they could be on holiday or upcountry. When do you need to know by? And while I am at it you can throw in another couple of questions if you have them. Of course if you get a traveling source in the meantime, it'll probably be better.

Hi maxwell,
Met some young women in Rwanda last year, one was living in DRC (some sort of NGO worker). The other was a friend visiting. The NGO worker called DRC a "hidden gem," said there's beautiful hiking, etc. So I'll be interested to read about your experiences.
Do take care--but enjoy your trip!

Kimburu -
Well this will teach me to underestimate the power/helpfulness of Fodors - I leave in about 24 hours, so I fear that you will go to the trouble of asking and I will have already made decision whether to travel the particular road I'm concerned about. (Of course, if you happen to be talking to your mother in law at the moment she gets a call from her contact, the exact question is "is the road between Kinshasa and Matadi safe for foreigners to travel by shared taxi or bus, or is there real risk of getting stoped along the way and, well, very bad things happening?" (I am reading that you must have a death wish to travel certain roads...and I do not have any such wish!)
If the above scenairo doesn't magically happen in next 48 hours, no worries, but thank you so very much for the offer to help, and I wish I had posted sooner!
Leely - Will do, and it is nice to hear that!!

Well thanks for trying Kimburu - very much appreciated. will be curious what they say. I'm in Brazzaville today & am crossing over into Kinshasa this morning, however, they've apparently had some unrest in Kinshasa due to the elections in a few months, making it hard for foreigners to get in even if you already have your visa/letter of invitation. (some swiss guys here were just refused visas the other day).
so, I am mentally preparing for them to send me back to Brazzaville event though I already have the visa, etc.

In case any future Matadi bus riders stumble across this thread - the bus ride is totally safe in terms of being free from frightening checkpoints, however it is an early morning to early evening affair (allow 10 hours, not counting time waiting for bus to leave).

So you made it! Great news.

There are no small elections, only small voter turnout.
At least that's the theory around the registrar of voters this weekend. On Saturday, a small, but steady crowd arrived to vote early before Tuesday's gubernatorial primary election.
"It's a huge logistical effort," said Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler when comparing this Tuesday's election to the November 2008 presidential election. This week, voter turnout is expected to be between 35-45 percent, compared to more than 83 percent in November of '08.
Still, all 1,149 precincts around the county will be open, staffed by more than 5300 poll workers.
"The preparation is really just about the same," said Seiler standing in the back room where all the ballots will end up to be counted Tuesday night. "Election night, where we're standing right now, will have about 300 people."
On Saturday, training sessions were held for those counters to make the process as seamless as possible.
San Diego county voters are deciding on everything from candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and state attorney general, to a list of propositions and smaller city and countywide elections.
While this gubernatorial primary election has certainly gotten much less attention than a presidential election, the voters who showed up early to cast their ballot say, it is every bit as important.
"It's my duty. I feel everybody has a voice," said early voter Jim Rodd.
"You gotta exercise your right to vote," said Greg Roel, "If you don't vote, you can't complain."
The polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday and stay open until 8 p.m.

We love questioning the top minds of the PC hardware industry for our readers, and the men behind the GIGABYTE Power Users Gathering: Rockson, and Derrick Foo from CDL Trading Pte. Ltd., became natural targets of our inquisition.
We took the rare opportunity to put Rockson on the grille.
VR: GIGABYTE launched the GA-X58A-UD9 with an unprecedented power delivery of 1500W to the CPU socket. You guys call it "Unlocked Power." Do you expect other mainboard makers to break this 1500W barrier anytime soon?
RC: Although we have yet to see any of our competitors attempting to outdo us in this aspect, it is perfectly possible for them to eventually match up to us in CPU power delivery. The thing is that our "Unlocked Power" technology is focussed on extreme overclocking, and it is impossible to expect all our competitors to invest the same kind of effort we put in it. Even if they do, it takes a lot of engineering to achieve what we have managed.
With the GA-X58A-UD9 for example, we spent almost half a year of Research & Development (R&D), surveying new components and testing out power layouts just to come up with Unlocked Power.
VR: GIGABYTE has long been an advocate of using reliable (and potentially expensive) components on its mainboards. What challenges does this holds-no-barred approach pose for GIGABYTE's manufacturing?
RC: No doubt, one of the first challenges we met was increased manufacturing costs – something that trickles down the retail chain to the customer eventually. We view this as value-addedness, however. We believe that when the customer has to pay a premium for a GIGABYTE mainboard, he or she is buying a quality product with the assurance that it will function reliably for many years to come. We do not want our customers to be purchasing insecurity, and so we do it right, right at the beginning.
There are technical difficulties in implementation too. For our two ounce copper Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for example, we took about a year experimenting with layout and compensation. Once we had thicker ground and power planes, we found that the trace impedance changes, and we had to make adjustments to the layout so that signal integrity improves.
At the end of the day, we are glad that these reliablity features benefits everyone down the retail chain. Distributors and retailers are seeing less product returns, and end users benefit from having trouble-free mainboards. In that sense, it does offset the challenges of increased manufacturing costs.
VR: Today's CPU have more contacts than ever before. Just one decade ago, we depended on PPGA370. Now we have FCLGA1366 – that is more than triple the amound of contacts going from PGA to LGA. Next year, we are moving into FCLGA2011. Do you foresee any issues with such a large contact-count?
RC: Back when we first looked at FCLGA1366, we thought that it was pretty big too (laughs). I do not foresee GIGABYTE having any issues when we finally move into FCLGA2011.
VR: GIGABYTE has been pushing SuperSpeed USB a lot this year. Up till now, we are looking mostly at two USB 3.0 ports located at the mainboard I/O shield. When will we start to see SuperSpeed USB make it to mainboard headers for hooking up to PC chassis?
RC: USB-IF already has a header standard for SuperSpeed USB 3.0, and you should see GIGABYTE mainboards with more than two USB 3.0 host-controller ports in the near future. Once the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 take-up rate has risen, we will implement extra USB 3.0 ports for PC chassis front panel sockets.
VR: MSI and ASUS have both been putting voltage test points on their overclocking-oriented mainboards lately. We understand that GIGABYTE is far from insecure about having its voltages probed by users given the stiff regulation engineered into the top end mainboards; still, are there plans to put such fancy overclocking novelties on future GIGABYTE mainboards?
RC: There have been requests for "voltage checkpoints" from the feedback we gather. The measurement traces should not introduce extra noise into the power rails, so you should be able to see these measurement spots on our future overclocking-oriented mainboards.
VR: Are you looking forward to Sandy Bridge?
RC: I am always looking forward to technological advances, from Intel or otherwise. It will definitely outperform current-generation processors, and chances are, with 32nm lithography, run cooler and greener as well.
Techno-journalism has long been notorious for its nosy tendencies. We took the opportunity to ask Derrick about his experiences with GIGABYTE mainboards at CDL Trading Pte. Ltd, one Singapore's oldest PC hardware distributors.
VR: How long have you been working for CDL?
DF: I started as a Technical Support Staff in 2004.
VR: You have been working with GIGABYTE for quite some time now. Given a choice, would you distribute other makes of mainboards other than GIGABYTE's?
DF: If you asked me, the answer is "no." I have confidence in GIGABYTE, both the brand and its products. In fact, I am proud to be associated with GIGABYTE to this day.
VR: You said that you once worked as a Technical Support Staff for CDL prior to doing Sales & Marketing. During your time, how many of the product returns were Problems that Exists Between the Keyboard and Chair?
DF: Problems I faced in those days were often not exclusively product issues or user issues. What I can confirm is that product return rates have fallen significantly in recent years.
These days, my colleagues and I receive calls that often have nothing to do with product failures. Instead, we have moved into a more personal level of customer support; we are supporting end users rather than supporting the hardware we distribute.
Nowadays, it is not surprising to find our staff answering questions on memory and peripheral compatibility. We sometimes even suggest tweaks to more experieced customers so that they can finetune our products to improve performance. We believe that end users who have maximised their purchase are the happiest ones.

A man was airlifted to a Portland hospital after he crashed into a sprinkler in Canby Monday morning.
The Canby Fire Department reports that the incident occurred after 7 a.m. at the victim's workplace, located at 505 NE 3rd Ave.
The driver was in a parking lot when suddenly accelerated across a 3,000-foot grassy area and collided into a fire sprinkler control valve. He may have suffered a medical emergency, the fire department said.
There was a backup on Interstate 5, so the driver was transported by Life Flight to Oregon Health & Science University.
His name and condition were not immediately disclosed.

Anus: The opening of the rectum to the outside of the body.
The word "anus" comes straight from the Latin. It referred to the same structure to the Romans. It also meant a "ring" in the sense of an encirclement which was entirely appropriate since the anus encircles the outlet of the bowel.
