The Kansas City Royals are used to being under represented at the All-Star Game. This year appears to be no difference despite the game being held at Kaufman Stadium.
Designated hitter Billy Butler was the only Royal to make the All-Star team, but closer Jonathan Broxton has a chance to make the team in the Final Vote.
Other Royals who had All-Star resumes were shortstop Alcides Escobar and third baseman Mike Moustakas, but both have numbers just short of the cream of the crop at their respective positions.
The Royals have not had two All-Stars since 2003. Mike Sweeney and Mike MacDougal were their representatives that year, though neither appeared in the game. Royals players getting DNPs has actually become a trend of late. Kansas City has not had a player appear in the All-Star Game since 2009, as both their All-Stars the past two years — Joakim Soria in 2010 and Aaaron Crow last year — did not get out of the bullpen.
The Royals are 35-42, six games back of the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central, and rank 24th in attendance. With those numbers, it's no surprise Kansas City is underrepresented this year.
Broxton is one of just four AL closers with 20 saves, but he'll have to beat out Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers, Ernesto Frieri of the Los Angeles Angels, Jason Hammel of the Baltimore Orioles and Jake Peavy of the White Sox.
AL All-Star Starters:
- C: Mike Napoli, Texas Rangers
- 1B: Prince Fielder, Detroit Tigers
- 2B: Robinson Cano, New York Yankees
- 3B: Adrian Beltre, Texas Rangers

Side-Information Scalable Source Coding
We consider the problem of side-information scalable (SI-scalable) source coding, where the encoder constructs a two-layer description, such that the receiver with high quality side information will be able to use only the first layer to reconstruct the source in a lossy manner, while the receiver with low quality side information will have to receive both layers in order to decode. We provide inner and outer bounds to the rate-distortion (R-D) region for general discrete memoryless sources. The achievable region is tight when either one of the decoders requires a lossless reconstruction, and when the distortion measures are degraded and deterministic. Furthermore, the gap between the inner and the outer bounds can be bounded by certain constants when the squared error distortion measure is used. The notion of perfect scalability is introduced, for which necessary and sufficient conditions are given for sources satisfying a mild support condition. Using SI-scalable coding and successive refinement Wyner-Ziv coding as basic building blocks, we provide a complete characterization of the rate-distortion region for the important quadratic Gaussian source with multiple jointly Gaussian side informations, where the side information quality is not necessarily monotonic along the scalable coding order. A partial result is provided for the doubly symmetric binary source under the Hamming distortion measure when the worse side information is a constant, for which one of the outer bounds is strictly tighter than the other.

text: Can anyone tell me if there's a buoyant second-hand market for "classic" frames? I've read some great threads recently about collecting old rackets and I have two original 200Gs sitting around doing nothing. Although I'm not considering selling either a friend of mine is keen for me to offload one to him, because he likes it so much. Both are in vgc, one has the original leather grip and strings even - I know this won't help its playability but it's an indication of its condition. Do these things have a market value, or is it a case of finding someone who really wants these rackets and is willing to pay for them?

Additionally, TMC's annual meeting will include 100 task force meetings on a variety of topics.
"TMC annually delivers the best in continuing education and emphasizing the importance of good maintenance practices and development," Kirk said. "Anyone – from the CEO to the first-year technician – can and does benefit from the TMC experience."

Countryside Walk from Longtan yu 龙潭裕 (via Heilong tan) to Little West Lake 小西湖(Xiao Xi Hu).

Date: Sat, 26 May 2012

Time: 08:00am

Meeting Point: Outside the Hilton Beijing, 1 Dong Fang Road, North Dongsanhuan Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 中国北京市朝阳区东三环北路东方路一号北京希尔顿酒店二层

Google Maps & Directions The nearest subway station is Liangma Qiao

Cost: 300RMB per person

Price Includes: Transportation, Lunch, English-speaking guides, Entrance fees and Insurance.

Not included: Personal Expenditure

Recommended: Hat, Sunblock, Bag / Belt to carry water, camera and smile.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Beijing and venture into the unbelievable Beijing countryside. This easy walk traces a riverside path, from a tiny 12 family village (about 60 people), with the aid of stepping stones, past relics of tourist free "forgotten" parts of the Great Wall that are now partly submerged. Suddenly the view changes from the wild quietness, to a magnificent lake – Little West Lake and a feeling of rediscovering 'civilization'.

This FCGroup popular fun walk is off the tourist map and (like all FCGroup events) is suitable for both foreigners and even the most local of local Chinese, We did this trip in July 2009, repeated it in 2011 and by popular request are repeating again this year. It combines a mixture of clambering over rocks, splashing through pools and stopping for rests in the shade of some beautiful trees and a DIY brunch picnic. You will get your feet wet! This trip is not suitable for pregnant ladies but if my "sit in front of a computer all day" physical shape is okay for this trip then so is yours.

RSVP Options:

• Option 1: 300RMB pre-pay via Yoopay.

Floor Plan
I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! It was calm around here… I am still not feeling 100% and I am getting pretty tired of it. 🙁 It turns out that I am not allergic to our puppy, but instead, I am fighting a virus that should take about two weeks to get better. It can gives you fever, hives… not fun! Send your prayers this way… I know this is not serious, but it's not easy to feel sick when you have to take care of three kids, right? 🙂
I hope we all can have a healthy (please, God! 🙂 ) and Blessed week!
We'll talk again tomorrow!
Many Blessings,

Marquez relieved to see the streak end, stays focused on winning title
Marc Marquez will maintain his focus on winning his second MotoGP World Championship and feels a sense of relief his incredible winning streak has ended.
After 10 superb wins against classy opposition, Marquez's streak ended with a surprise fourth place in the Czech Grand Prix at Brno won by Dani Pedrosa.
While surprised to miss the podium and be 10 seconds behind, Marquez was brutally honest in assessing that an imperfect setup and excessive wheelspin meant victory was beyond reach.
"My position was fourth, I was not ready to win the race and Pedrosa and Lorenzo had a very high rhythm and I could not follow them," said Marquez after the Brno race.
"But now I feel much better. Before I felt the pressure with everybody looking at me and talking about trying to win eleven races and then all the races of the season.
"I always said my target is to win the championship and if I have some Sundays like Brno I need to be smart and use the advantage I have in the championship.
"The most important thing is I still have 77 points advantage in the championship.
"For the first time in the races I have finished I was not on the podium in a MotoGP. I was 10 seconds behind but even if I pushed it would have seven seconds and still too far. The points for fourth would have been the same."
Marquez said he relaxed and slowed late in the race once he understood that his setup issues meant it was impossible to challenge Valentino Rossi for third.
At this point race-winner Pedrosa and second-placed Jorge Lorenzo were also out of reach.
"The biggest problem was on acceleration, this is where I lost time, I was spinning a lot," Marquez said.
"I tried to improve on the brakes to be closer to the front guys and for three laps it was OK but then I nearly crashed a couple of times and I knew it was not possible all the race like that.
"I tried all the traction control maps on the bike and it was not possible to be control the spinning. Then I was braking too late and the bike was moving too much and overheating the front tire. Every lap it was coming worse. I tried to follow Valentino when he passed me but it was not possible and this was the time to think about the championship."
Marquez also said that his elbow-banging overtaking duel with Ducati young gun Andrea Iannone early in the race did not impact on his result.
"I had a great battle with Iannone and maybe lost one second but this was not the main reason I did not win the race," Marquez said.
Equally for a rare day this season, the Catalunya GP one exception, Marquez's teammate Pedrosa was in top form.
When Pedrosa is inspired and at his best, and running in clear air out front, he is capable of winning as he showed in Brno.

Owen welcomes Young swoop
Manchester United striker Michael Owen has welcomed the anticipated arrival of winger Ashley Young.
Last Updated: 23/06/11 2:30pm
Manchester United striker Michael Owen has welcomed the anticipated arrival of winger Ashley Young from Aston Villa.
As revealed by skysports.com on Wednesday evening, the England international has undergone a medical with the Premier League champions.
And Young is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Old Trafford in the coming days for a reported fee of £15million.
Owen wrote on his Twitter page: "I see Ashley Young has undergone a medical today. Let's hope everything goes well as he would be a great signing for us."
No intention
The 25-year-old has just a year left on his contract at Villa Park and made it clear to the club he had no intention of extending that deal.
United have already signed Blackburn's England Under-21 defender Phil Jones for £16.5million and are likely to strengthen further with Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea the likely replacement for the retired Edwin van der Sar.
Young, like Jones, was also a target for Liverpool but United boss Sir Alex Ferguson appears to have once again beaten Kenny Dalglish to the player's signature.
Young made his league debut as a Watford player at the age of 18 and went on flourish under the management of Aidy Boothroyd, before joining Villa for £9.75m.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Osborne, Gardner Goldsmith and I continue our once-a-month listener participation live show where we discuss our recent shows, projects, challenges, investigations, etc...
Discussed:A chronology of film and television self-censorship with many tangents
-censorship of the film, The Interview by Sony Pictures entertainment
-What's unique about this situation? What isn't?
-It is unlikely that North Korea is behind the hack:
-Whether it's a legit cyber attack, an inside job by Sony or a government false flag the response from Washington is predictable
-Censorship increasing and decreasing were both gradual processes
-first film censorship laws
-movies were considered evil, similar to all new mediums at first
-The First Amendment and "Community Standards"
-1915 - Mutual Film Corporation v Ohio Industrial Commission, Supreme Court Case - Movies deemed "not free speech," so government censorship was "justified" - now they were just waiting for reasons to move in further
-US v Motion Picture film The Spirit of 76
-The Fatty Arbuckle Scandal
-Journalists like William Randolph Hearst were pushing this idea that the business needed to be cleaned up
-over 100 bills for censorship were submitted to congress in the early 1920s
-defensive act: 1922 Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America
start working with William H. Hayes. Hayes acts as a buffer between Hollywood and Washington, or a kind of lobbyist, PR
-1927: committee formed to develop a list of 11 don'ts and 25 be-carefuls
-then it escalates in 1927 with a new development - SOUND
-because now who could go to the movies? children
-and sound makes film even more real
-1930 - Motion Pictures Production Code, Hayes Code
-1934 - Production Code Administration
studios agreed, kept Washington at bay, avoided boycotts
aided mass production with a reliable formula
-But who gets to have input?
-Hitler in Hollywood?
-Reticence of Jewish studio moguls
-Reason #1: Supreme Court Decisions
1948 - United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.
1952 - Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson
-Reason #2: Competition
Television, had an even stricter code
Rod Serling explains how censorship led to the creation of The Twilight Zone
Foreign Films/ Art house
Changing culture
sexual content that would have previously been banned by the Code was being retained
-Reason #3: REBELIOUS FILMMAKERS:
Otto Preminger
Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot
1964 Sidney Lumet's Pawnbroker
1966 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
-1970-1972: It wasn't just the government and the church: The Godfather - Hollywood makes a deal with the mob
-1971: Stanley Kubrick pulled A Clockwork Orange
-UK: Kubrick asked Warner Brothers to withdraw the film from British distribution. In response to allegations that the film was responsible for copycat violence Kubrick stated: "To try and fasten any responsibility on art as the cause of life seems to me to put the case the wrong way around. Art consists of reshaping life, but it does not create life, nor cause life. Furthermore, to attribute powerful suggestive qualities to a film is at odds with the scientifically accepted view that, even afterdeep hypnosis in a posthypnotic state, people cannot be made to do things which are at odds with their natures."
-US: The National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures rated it C ("Condemned"), a rating which forbade Roman Catholics seeing the film.

Bangladesh Army is going to upgrade Type 59 Tanks
|Type 59 Tanks of Bangladesh Army
Bangladesh Army is considering upgrade of its Type 59 (T-54C) and Type 69 main battle tanks.
Items to be considered are new engines and transmissions, improved suspension, 125mm smooth bore gun, semi-automatic loader and updated fire control, improved protection against HEAT rounds. Bangladesh Army currently operates some 250 Type-69/II and 100 Type-59 tanks.
These Tanks will have:
- 125 mm smoothbore gun, firing APFSDS, HEAT-FS and HE-FS. Semi-automatic loading and image Stabilized fire control.
- 730 hp Engine for improved mobility.
- Improved suspension.
- Improved defense with explosive reactive armour and anti-mine cover underneath.
|Upgraded Type 59 tanks of Tanzania Army
Four countries including Azerbaijan, China, Pakistan and Ukraine have submitted their proposals with options to upgrade the power pack, transmission, main gun, fire control system and installation of battlefield management system to link the tanks with commanders.
|Al zarar Tank of Pakistan Army
However Ukraine's proposal was turned down due to their inability to meet the specifics of the tender but Azerbaijan, China and Pakistan remain in the competition to upgrade 174 Type 59 MBT's by 2019.
Pakistan's Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) has offered to upgrade the Type 59′s to Al Zarrar standard but remains flexible to Bangladesh Army's specifications. A representative of HIT informed that they would be offering the 125 mm semi-automatic gun, fire control system (computerised FCS and image stabilised sights), power pack, transmission, suspension and ERA that are used in Type 85-IIAP and Al Zarrar MBT's, which are in service with the Pakistan Army. The upgrade offered by Pakistan would still mean the traditional crew of four consisting of the commander, loader, gunner and driver are retained aboard the upgraded Type 59 tanks.
Similarly, the Chinese have offered two different modifications, one of which failed the trials and another that is still under evaluation consisting of 125 mm smoothbore gun, ERA, FCS, power pack, transmission, fire fighting system, communications and auxiliary machine guns.
The Azerbaijan offer includes installation of additional turret armour, a 125 mm smoothbore gun, a new battlefield management and fire control system, driver night-vision device, new communications system, digital intercom and an auxiliary power unit.
Upgrading would be undertaken in Bangladesh similarly to the Type 69 II upgrade program where the foreign partner would provide the upgrade kits and technical guidance to complete the enhancements.
The Bangladesh Army's tank inventory consists of a regiment of MBT-2000 tanks, which were delivered in 2013 by NORINCO in a deal consisting of 44 MBT-2000′s and 3 ARV's worth $162 million. They are supplemented by 352 Type 59 and Type 69 II G Mk I besides 44 Type 62 light tanks.
The Bangladesh Army plans to raise more armoured regiments in order to provide at least one armour regiment to each Infantry Division. Currently there are ten armoured regiments in the Bangladesh Army including an armoured brigade attached to the 11th Infantry Division. Mechanised infantry formations are also being raised in every Infantry Division as per Vision 2030 blueprint.

Following a letter Rep. Tom Reed and fellow Members of Congress sent to the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Administrator John Pistole, the Administration announced this week it will halt its policy allowing knives on planes.
"Prohibiting dangerous items on planes like knives is a common sense safety measure," Reed said. "The TSA's announcement this week it will halt its proposed policy is a win for public safety. If a policy places our citizens' safety at risk, it is a policy that must be addressed."
Reed was joined by more than 130 bipartisan Members of Congress on the letter, expressing serious concern that allowing passengers to carry knives on commercial flights puts public safety at risk. "September 11, 2001 proved we cannot relax aviation security and we cannot be sending the message that carrying dangerous items on an airline cabin is acceptable."
According to a TSA spokesperson, the delay is meant to allow for more input. Reed said the Administration has already received overwhelming input that its proposed policy is a danger to passengers and crew members and will likely hear more. "The TSA heard from pilots, flight attendants, and passengers that they want to feel safe while flying," Reed continued. "Stakeholders are likely to continue their advocacy on behalf of public safety now that the delay has been announced. This is a step in the right direction in maintaining safe skies."
The proposal was originally slated to go into effect this week.

By: Ali, Sharon, Ernest Feminist Theory Araby James Joyce Hamlet The Garden Party Feminist in Hamlet THANK YOU Feminist theory is the extension of feminism when discussing theoretical or philosophical issues. It aims to understand the nature of gender inequality. It examines women's social roles, experience, interests, and feminist politics in a variety of fields, such as anthropology and sociology, communications, psychoanalysis, literary, education, and philosophy. Feminist literature includes drama, fiction, nonfiction and poetry that examine the experience of women and their struggles in a male-oriented society. It includes both theoretic and critical literature presenting arguments and historical evidence and imaginative literature that depicts experience. Joyce is supposedly paranoid about women and portrays women in his stories as powerless in society, and as if they are unable to make a decision without male authority. Joyce was as misogynistic just like man of his time. He even told a reporter, that he hated women who knew anything, showed that he preferred them in traditional roles. In Araby, the boy treated the woman sort of like a object. The boy in the story would stalk Mangan`s sister and not say a word to her. I believe Joyce was the little boy in the story. Laertes: "When these are gone, The woman will be out".
Hamlet "For look how cheerfully my mother looks and my father died within's two hours".
Ghost: "The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen". Laertes, Hamlet Ophelia and Gertrude show the feminist theory. Gertrude by acting like a virtuous woman but then moving on to another man when her husband passes away. So she is like a gold digger. Laertes because he thinks crying is a female feature. Hamlet is a misogynist. Ophelia is emotional. Definition Modern feminist criticism started from Simone De Beauvoir's Le Deuxième Sexe.
de Beauvoir discusses how equating men with humanity as a whole wrongly leaves women in an lower, more dependent status
Feminist criticism became more known during the 1970's and focused on both linguistic and literary issues. In linguistics feminist criticism was used to reveal and eliminate the primary male bias in language.
For instance, in English the sentence "Someone has left his book here." is using "his" as the pronoun for gender as a whole. Just like the 'man' in "mankind" unnecessarily emphasizes one gender.
Such feminist criticism succeeded in bringing stylistic changes to formal writing.
In literature, two trends developed in criticism. "Feminist critiques" exposed characteristics in the classics of literature.
For example, the assumption that men are rational, active by nature, and dominant and women are emotional, passive and frail.
Feminist criticism shares two traits:
the desire to effect social and political change and the view
gender alone does not define a woman's identity. Feminist Criticism Araby is a story about a boy who develops a HUGE crush on his friend Mangan's Sister, and she happens to live across the street from him. The boy ends up promising Mangan's sister to buy her a gift at "Bazaar" Saturday night because she isn't going because she has to go to a retreat that week in her convent. On the saturday night the boy asked his uncle for the money to go to Bazaar, but his uncle had forgotten. After waiting a while, the boy receives money from his uncle to go to Bazaar. When he gets to Bazaar, it is too late and the event is shutting down for the night. A woman who was talking with 2 other males asked the boy if he wanted to buy something, but he said no thank you. He then walks away and sees himself as a creature driven and berided by vanity. Araby... Quotes of the boys obsession toward Mangan's Sister: " Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlor watching her door. " " When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed he. I kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, i quickened my place and passed her. This happened morning after morning. I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood. " " Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derived by a vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger. " there are female protagonists surprisingly in this story there are servants (cooks, maids) and the women supervise women are usually associated with flowers
Laura's mom associated her with pink canna lilies "she felt they were in her fingers, on her lips, growing in her breast." Laura has viewed these men as dirty, vulgar, and overly sexual but when she is closer to the man smelling lavender which seems to be anything but vulgar and dirty:
"He bent down, pinched a spring of lavender, put his thumb and forefinger to his nose and snuffed up the smell. When Laura saw the gesture she forgot all about the karakas in her wonder at him caring for things like that - caring for the smell of lavender. How many men she knew would have done such a thing. Oh, how extraordinary nice workmen were, she thought." Laura is rendered speechless by the patriarchal society that has not offered women, (female ) the words to talk about death.
"it is simply marvelous. But, Laurie - ' She stopped, she looked at her brother. 'isn't life - ' But what life was she couldn't explain. No matter. He quite understood. 'isn't it, darling?' said Laurie. "The Garden Party" is organized by Laura, Meg, and Jose, the daughters of the Sheridan family. As dawn breaks, Laura goes into the Sheridan's garden to inspect it for the marquee. Her encounter with three workers is awkward and confused. House preparations continue: a florist delivers several trays of pink lilies; Mrs. Sheridan fusses over the sandwiches; and Meg rehearses a comically inappropriate song. A delivery man brings cream puff and news of the accidental death of a local carter, a nearby neighbour of the Sheridan's. Laura immediately proposes cancelling the party, Jose and Mrs. Sheridan find that amusing and irritating. Neither sees any need to consider the feelings of their poorer neighbours. Laura is distracted by her mother's spur-of-the-moment gift of a pretty black hat decorated with gold daisies. She realises her own beauty and slips effortlessly into the role of party hostess, promising to remember the tragic accident later. The garden party passes and a delightful afternoon slowly ends. As the Sheridan's gather under the deserted marquee, Laura's father reminds them of the dead carter. To Laura's discomfort, Mrs. Sheridan suggests that she bring some party leftovers to the grieving widow. Laura brings the cream-puffs down the broad road still in party clothes. Down a narrow, dark lane she finds the carter's home and is led by the widow's sister to view the body. Alone with the dead man, Laura is surprisingly overwhelmed by the peaceful beauty of the corpse and absurdly sobs, "Forgive my hat." When going back to the house she meets her brother Laurie and they share her empathy. She struggles to convey the feelings that she just experienced, but is at a loss for words fortunately he understands her.

E CO presents photographic projects by twenty Latin American and European photographic collectives, each tasked with crafting a visual essay about one of the most important topics of our day: the environment. Free of curatorial influence, the collectives define "environment" for themselves and maintain their own production and editing processes. The resulting essays reflect the interests and concerns of each group and nation, as well as the working organization of each collective.

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Having had that fun, the president is holding a fiscal responsibility summit on Monday at the White House. He'll be talking about how to shrink the budget deficit, which might seem like an unusual conversation to have just now when the new administration has been busy expanding the deficit.
Here's NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
MARA LIASSON: By the time all the stimulus bills and bailouts are counted up, the deficit will likely top 10 percent of the entire domestic economy. That's the biggest deficit since World War II. Couple that with the government's obligations when the baby boomers retire and you've got a fiscally unsustainable problem and one that's very hard to fix. Still, in almost every speech, President Obama insists something has to be done.
President BARACK OBAMA: We will need to do everything in the short term to get our economy moving again, while at the same time recognizing that we have inherited a trillion dollar deficit and we need to begin restoring fiscal discipline and taming our exploding deficits over the long term.
LIASSON: There are really two trillion dollar deficits. One is a short-term problem caused by the recession, then there's a long-term structural deficit caused by budget-breaking healthcare costs and the baby boomers' retirement. In an interview at the White House this week, the president's budget director Peter Orszag says that's why the administration wanted to hold the summit now.
Mr. PETER ORSZAG (Budget Director): I think it is noteworthy that in the midst of all the other short-term crises that we face, we are not letting the urgent get in the way of the important and we are sitting down to talk about this important issue even though we all face various firefighting exercises that are required to address the immediate crises that we face.
LIASSON: A big part of Monday's meeting, says Orszag, is letting a lot of different voices be heard. One of those voices will belong to Republican Senator Judd Gregg, the same Judd Gregg who recently withdrew his nomination as commerce secretary. But he's also a leader on budget issues and he calls the deficit problem a long-term fiscal tsunami.
Senator JUDD GREGG (Republican, New Hampshire): Our kids are suddenly going to get a country that's not affordable unless we do something substantive about the cost of entitlements. We're looking at spending under the entitlement programs jumping to almost 30 percent of GDP, which would basically absorb almost all the savings that most Americans would have. Nobody would be able to afford a house or buy a car or send their kid to college.
LIASSON: Solving the problem will certainly require difficult choices, including, says Gregg, raising taxes and cutting spending. Although Gregg had what he called irreconcilable differences with the president on the stimulus bill, on entitlement reform he's ready to join hands with willing Democrats and jump off the cliff together. And he thinks on this issue the president will find surprising levels of bipartisanship.
Senator GREGG: I don't think there's any question, we're ready to cooperate. The Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, has said very openly that he's ready to go. All we need is for the president to continue the leadership he's already shown, which I congratulate him for.
LIASSON: About 90 people from both ends of the political spectrum are being invited to the Monday summit. Besides Congressional committee chairman and ranking Republicans, there will be liberal economists, labor leaders, and well-known fiscal hawks, and that makes some on the left very nervous. They're worried that the summit could lead to deep cuts in Medicare and Social Security benefits. Here's economist James Galbraith on a conference call yesterday set up by the group Campaign for America's Future.
Mr. JAMES GALBRAITH (Economist): It's unfortunate that the White House chose to frame the issues of Monday's meeting in the way that they have. Threatening or appearing to threaten the stability of Social Security benefits is not a constructive contribution. Its effect is to raise the anxiety of the working population for whom Social Security and Medicare represent an increasingly important part of their long-term future.
LIASSON: The politics of this are daunting because the solution inevitably requires someone to pay more and someone to get less, and interest groups will line up to fight every change. Former Congressional Budget Office director Robert Reischauer is pessimistic.
Mr. ROBERT REISCHAUER (Former Congressional Budget Office Director): This is going to be the hardest thing we have ever tried to do, and it probably won't be successful unless there's some convincing external force, a gun in our hand; interest rates rising rather significantly because foreigners won't lend us the resources we need. I'm skeptical that our political system right now is frightened enough about the long-run consequences of our current fiscal path that it can galvanize itself into action.
LIASSON: Right now long-term interest rates, the price foreign investors demand in return for financing our debt, are rising fast. But they are still relatively low, and that's why, says Peter Orszag, it's important to address this now while we still have room to maneuver.
Mr. ORSZAG: If we roll forward five or 10 or 15 or 20 years and we fail to address these underlying structural deficits, we won't have that maneuvering room, because creditors will not be willing to buy our debt at reasonable or at low interest rates.
LIASSON: And that's just part of the argument President Obama is likely to make on Monday as he turns his attention to dealing with this next crisis on his very long list.
