The Insights eNewsletter
Promise and Danger for the Church
First appeared on 03/07/2014. Insights is also available to members via email delivery.
It's been a banner week for commentary here at CatholicCulture.org. One of the most important topics has been the growing efforts to precipitate change in Catholic teaching on marriage, family and sexuality. See:
- Phil Lawler: Will conservative Catholics help media skew Church discussions on marriage?
- Jeff Mirus: The Crisis of the German Hierarchy Comes to a Wrongheaded Head
- Jeff Mirus: Synod Gamesmanship: Raising Expectations to Create Pressure
The October Synod on the Family presents both promise and danger to the Church. We need to understand and find more effective ways to deal with the widespread abandonment of a Catholic vision of the family, even by those who call themselves Catholic; but we need to find effective ways to help people to embrace the vision, not to undermine it.
Another source of hope is a slowly increasing interest in union with Rome among the Orthodox churches. But that is fraught with danger, too. See Phil's explanation: Developments in the Orthodox world bear great ecumenical promise.... [more content for subscribers]

Crisp Roast Duck with a Confit of Sour Cherries
This is it – the best method of roasting duck I've found to date, and of all the lovely sauces, this one – made with dried sour cherries – is the loveliest. It's important to remember, however, that the duck should be as dry as possible, so buy it 24 hours in advance, remove and discard the wrapping and giblets, dry it in a clean tea cloth and leave it uncovered on a plate in the fridge till needed.
Serves 4
|1 x 4 lb (1.8 kg) Gressingham duck
|fresh watercress, to garnish
|coarse sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
|For the confit of sour cherries:
|3 oz (75 g) dried sour cherries
|7 fl oz (200 ml) dry red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, for example)
|1 oz (25 g) golden granulated sugar
|1 tablespoon good-quality red wine vinegar
|Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 8, 450°F (230°C).
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
You will also need a roasting rack or some kitchen foil, and a roasting tin measuring 9 x 11 inches (23 x 28 cm), 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book Two
You need to start this recipe the day before you want to serve it by first soaking the cherries for the confit in the red wine overnight.
The next day, prepare the duck by wiping it as dry as possible with kitchen paper. Now, using a small skewer, prick the fatty bits of the duck's skin, particularly between the legs and the breast. Now either place the duck on the roasting rack in the tin or make a rack yourself by crumpling the kitchen foil and placing it in the bottom of the roasting tin. Season with coarse sea salt and freshly milled black pepper, using quite a lot of salt, as this encourages crunchiness. Now place the tin on the centre shelf of the pre-heated oven and roast the duck for 1 hour and 50 minutes. During the cooking time, using an oven glove to protect your hands, remove the tin from the oven and drain the fat from the corner of the tin – do this about 3 times (the fat is brilliant for roast potatoes, so don't throw it away).
Meanwhile, to make the confit, place the soaked cherries and wine in a saucepan, along with the sugar and wine vinegar. Bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer, give it all a good stir and let it barely simmer, without a lid, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring from time to time. What will happen is that the wine will slowly reduce so there's only about 3 tablespoons of free liquid left.
When the cooking time is up, allow the duck to rest for 20 minutes or so, then carve and serve garnished with the fresh watercress, with the sour-cherry confit poured over each portion and the rest handed round separately in a jug.

Home Taping
Previous Blog entry
Next Blog entry
Kitchen, late, because it always feels wrong to tape the bars in daylight hours, needs quiet and the right songs on the radio, a couple of fingers of alcohol, just to calm the nerves, silent reverence but with an undercurrent of fear, after so many years it's still possible to get it horribly wrong.
Box of new tape, Cinelli Cork for preference, white for preference, no need for over-padded rubbish or any such gimmicks, although that Pro stuff with the embossed flowers was nice. Scissors, electrical tape to secure the strips behind the levers and finish off, the sticky-strip that comes in the box already thrown away, as always. Brake levers already double double checked they're at the right height and level, the hoods have been pulled back. Brake and gear cables are in place and taped. Bike in the workstand, begin.
Start on the right side, it's always the right side, don't know why, maybe because I find the right-hand side easier to tape so am warmed up for the awkward left side when I reach it. Does everyone find one side easier to tape than the other?
Cut the strip that covers the brake-lever clamp to length and tape the ends in position. Pick up a roll of tape, if it's patterned with a logo check it will be the right way up when wound, stick a bit of electrical tape on the end to hold it on the bar at the 9 o'clock position, make sure there's enough overlap to hold the bar-plug in later. Wind anti-clockwise one full revolution straight to cover the end and then start the journey up the bar.
Even tension, not too slack, not too tight, took me enough baggy loops and some snapped tape in the early days to get that right. Keep the taught even and the overlaps regular and start to concentrate around the curve of the bar up to the brake lever. Always an evasive bit this, I favour the double-pass around the lever leaving a nice X of tape round the back, others will do it different. Get it not quite right first time so unravel a couple of turns and start again, concentrate on the tension and a slightly different path. Check all around the brake lever for sneaky gaps in the tape that could suddenly appear only when all is done like a dagger to the heart. Tricky transition over the top of the brake body and we're into the home straight along the tops, where the tape has to end already marked off by a strip of electrical tape, usually just a few mm from the outside edge of the handlebar graphic, its a bar-variable measurement.
On a new build the handlebar tape is the final step in the process, a nervous and exciting time, with added pressure not to wind the tape like a schmuck, no hurry, take it easy, breathe. The first ride can wait a while, embrace the anticipation, be as perfect as you can.
Today it's some new tape on some new bars. The tape needed to be changed anyway since the arrival of a white saddle, meaning white bar tape. Collar and cuffs, collar and cuffs.
Get to the finishing point and wind the tape another revolution so it forms a straight perpendicular edge to the bar and cut it off so the end is on the underside, for tidies sake, tack it down with the small section of tape that's been pre-cut and stuck to the stem for convenience. I've never got the hang, or had the guts to try bevelling the end of the handlebar tape to finish off, I have enough off-cuts, maybe I should practise. Reach for the roll of black electrical tape and wind it round the finished end. Start at the bottom, one revolution round, one revolution to travel it across the full width of a strip of tape, one revolution round, one revolution back across to the edge, one full revolution to end, cut the tape so it ends underneath the bar for tidies sake.
Some would say that being able to do your own bar-tape to a competent standard is one of the marks of being a cyclist, somewhere in between fixing punctures and building wheels. I can do punctures, I can't do wheels, I can do bar-tape and I'm certain I can do it better. I'd be happy to spend an hour watching a pro mechanic wrapping tape before the next days stage, watch and learn. I'd be stupidly proud to see a race won on tape I'd applied.
Take a couple of slugs of drink, to calm the nerves for the other side.
Cut the strip that covers the brake-lever clamp to size and tape it in position. Pick up a roll of tape, if it's patterned with a logo check it will be the right way up when wound, stick a bit of electrical tape on the end to hold it on the bar at the 3 o'clock position, make sure there's enough overlap to hold the bar-plug in, wind clockwise. All fingers and thumbs but I have over-compensating mechanisms and it's probably executed neater than the right-hand side. Finish off, job done. Pop the end-plugs in, already wrapped with a few rounds of electrical tape to make them stop tighter, make sure the logo is square. Of course.
Lean the bike against the far wall and give it the once over, all good. Finish last gulp of drink, file scissors and electrical tape away, put the curlings of backing-tape and loose inches of off-cuts in the bin, roll the longer left-overs of tape and put them with the collection. Bed.
Tomorrow, or to be more exact, later today this bike will be ridden up and down the road to make sure everything's Just So, the day after that it will be raced. New handlebar tape on the start line is worth two extra places on the finish line.
You speak to my soul... bar tape is the most beautiful part of bike maintenance.
And yes, why is the finishing tape they provide always so rubbish ? I usually put it on, then remember it will never stay so wrap some electrical tape over the top.

Georgia on his mind? Dabo Swinney trying to keep opponents 'nameless, faceless'
'We're playing Clemson every week. That's our toughest opponent every single week - Clemson'
The No. 1 item on the 'goal board' posted in Clemson's West End Zone team auditorium is "win the opener."
It doesn't say "beat Georgia."
The objective may be one in the same this year, but the distinction is important as Dabo Swinney attempts to pilot his team through the treacherous hyper-charged buildup to college football's marquee opener.
Yeah, he knows it's a big game.
"I tell our team all the time that everybody is a nameless, faceless opponent," Swinney said last week. "We're playing Clemson every week. That's our toughest opponent every single week - Clemson.
"That's the mentality that I've tried to ingrain in these guys, so that there's no up-this-week, down-next-week; this is a big game, this is not a big game. When the scoreboard lights up, it's big, regardless of the name on the jersey."
That being said, Swinney knows this one is different - at least from the fans' perspective.
"When I first got the job in December of '08, I remember someone asking me about how excited we were to play Georgia in 2013," Swinney recalled. "I'm like 'I just hope I can live 'til 2013.' That was the furthest thing from my mind. But that tells you the significance of this game."
Swinney is glad to have the experience of last season's opener against Auburn in the Georgia Dome to build on.
"Just like last year when we opened up with a game like Auburn, in Atlanta on national TV, there's just so much more noise, from a national standpoint, surrounding the game than if you were playing more of a non-BCS type opponent," he said. "And then you throw in the fact that it's Georgia - Clemson-Georgia.
"I grew up watching Clemson-Georgia, and it's been neat watching it unfold. Both teams finished in the top 10 last season, it's Clemson-Georgia, ESPN GameDay (probably, but not officially), a night game, all that stuff. It makes it exciting. Our players don't live in a cave."
Swinney says it's important for the coaches to help the players manage the hoop-la, and their own excitement.
"It's something you have to manage and be really careful of," Swinney said. "If you just put everything into this game as a win-or-else type of deal, and you win the game, if you don't manage it the right way, it's a letdown and a rollercoaster deal. And vice-versa.
"If you don't win the game, both of these teams have great aspirations - big goals and big dreams for the season. Both of us hope to be in the top-10, competing for the whole thing when it's all said and done. The winner of this game isn't guaranteed a slot, and the loser of this game is not guaranteed to be out of it. Georgia lost an emotional game early last year, and they were five yards away from playing for the national title. Alabama has won it two years in a row, and they lost at home in November.
"The key thing is to stay focused on the right things, which is your commitment, your preparation, your work ethic, what out our formula for success is, as we've defined it at Clemson. The rest of it will take care of itself."
Tomorrow: Swinney's winning formula, and what the Tigers learned last season.

Stabilizing blood sugar is crucial for good health and well-being. When blood sugar goes up and down, it taxes the organs of the body and can cause severe health issues. Finding ways to help stabilize blood sugar can help a person live a longer, healthier life.
Regular exercise can help the cells of the body respond well to insulin while helping lose excess weight. Weight loss is important for many diabetics because it will help them require less insulin. Exercise also keeps the body moving, which keeps the muscles strong and joints flexible. This helps a person stay active and mobile.
Choosing the right foods helps a person keep their blood sugar stable. It is recommended to eat foods high in fiber and low-glycemic carbohydrates to maintain healthy glucose levels. Essentially, eating lean animal protein, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds is the simplest way to follow a low-glycemic diet. Drinking plenty of water also helps maintain healthy glucose levels. Several diets are available that utilize various theories on what is best for a diabetic to eat or avoid. Speak to a physician before making any changes to your diet, especially when taking insulin.
Several supplemental foods have been touted as being helpful. When it is unsweetened, green or black tea has been shown to help remove glucose from the blood. Adding lemon juice to foods or water helps process sugar out of the body when urinating, helping to lower the blood sugar. Cinnamon has also been shown to help stabilize blood sugar and can easily be added to drinks or many other foods. It can be obtained in capsule form for those that don't tolerate the taste.
Artificial sweeteners
Be careful when choosing to use artificial sweeteners. They can actually cause the blood sugar to be more unstable than normal and may cause weight gain rather than weight loss. Diet sodas use these alternatives, which are marketed for those with diabetes. Monitor glucose levels carefully when consuming these artificial sweeteners to see how the body responds to them.
Understand how the individual body responds to particular foods. This is done by careful monitoring and documentation with each meal. Some people will respond differently to various foods that are supposed to be healthy. Discuss the results with a dietician or physician to help plan meals that avoid the foods that cause the most problems.
Medical Meals
Paying close attention to blood sugar levels is important for good health. Making lifestyle changes through diet and exercise may be necessary for you to be healthy and active. At Medical Meals we offer a nutritional supplement for controlling blood sugar, Glucose Stabilizer. This product provides targeted nutrients to help manage your blood sugar and insulin levels.

May 23, 2014
|Ray Mills, portfolio manager of the T. Rowe Price Overseas Stock Fund.
The international investment landscape paints a mixed picture, but there are reasons for optimism. A modest economic recovery continues in Europe as concerns about the sovereign debt crisis have abated. However, European markets have performed well, so valuations are not as compelling but remain reasonable. Japan also performed well last year but has suffered a setback this year as it continues pursuing economic reforms that should be beneficial longer term.
Many emerging markets offer appealing valuations and improving political conditions but are coping with slower growth and tighter global liquidity. While China's growth has slowed, it is implementing structural reforms and moving toward a more balanced, sustainable economy, but this is not without risk.
Ray Mills, portfolio manager of the Overseas Stock Fund, recently offered these observations on the international investment environment.
Europe: Moving in the Right Direction
- Europe is generally moving in the right direction, but economic growth remains anemic and is not accelerating. The concerns about the sovereign debt crisis have largely receded, which has spurred performance in the periphery countries this year. There have been efforts toward fiscal austerity in these countries and other policies that have started to bear fruit.
- Valuations in Europe remain reasonable, if not as cheap as they were, so Europe has performed much better even as the recovery remains fragile.
- Europe illustrates the lesson we see over and over again—that things don't have to be euphoric for the markets to do really well. They just have to start moving in the right direction, or even stop getting worse.
- Europe has the potential for a virtuous cycle. Improving economic growth will encourage companies to invest more, and that helps employment, which leads to more economic growth. Profit margins are still good, so if topline revenue growth improves, companies should get some operating leverage, which could provide a positive backdrop for European markets.
Japan: Waiting for Reform
- After a strong performance last year, Japan's market has stalled so far this year. Investors are still waiting for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policies aimed at boosting growth and inflation to be implemented. There have been a few baby steps, but that third arrow of structural reforms to labor markets and tax and regulatory regimens is still in the quiver. The point of the third arrow was to combine looser monetary policy to end the deflationary cycle with stimulative fiscal policy and structural reforms.
- We expect reforms in Japan to progress in fits and starts as Prime Minister Abe works with political factions to bring about structural changes, which are the most challenging component of the government's reform efforts.
- One of Japan's other challenges is its aging population, which does not bode well for economic growth. Increased immigration is probably not likely, either. This makes the country's structural issues that much more difficult to overcome. Also, Japan's currency stopped appreciating, and a new consumption tax took effect in April.
Emerging Markets: Struggling to Get Back on Track
- There are some signs that emerging markets could be pulling out of their slump. Valuations are very attractive generally, and some of the political issues have started to stabilize or even improve. We don't see a real case for a crisis in emerging markets. The biggest risk is if China's financial liberalization has a major hiccup.
- I would caution investors not to focus solely on economic growth. It's not unimportant, but there are other factors that are very important, such as structural reforms in the economy, corporate governance, and capital allocation by management teams. These are the things that really matter for equity returns over time.
- Investors can get exposure to emerging market economic growth by investing in developed market companies that sell products in emerging markets. These companies often have strong brands, advanced technology, and better corporate governance than many emerging markets companies.
China: Slower Growth but Lots of Financial Fire Power
- China has experienced a bit lower growth than investors had hoped for, making it harder for the government to reach its 7.5% annual expansion target. There are also concerns about a deteriorating credit cycle in China and the risks from financial liberalization.
- The financial system is highly leveraged, but China's leaders are trying to address it by imposing new rules and restrictions on banks and other lenders.
- I think China will successfully navigate this period near term, as they have considerable financial fire power to put to work. The problem is they keep spending more on fixed asset investments. It's the easiest way to juice the economy, but the effect that they get for each unit that they spend goes down over time.
No Shortage of Risks
- One risk to global growth that may be underappreciated is the increase in sovereign debt, which leads to lower capacity for fiscal stimulus in the next slowdown. We've gotten through the financial crisis largely due to central bank actions. Some fiscally prudent steps have been taken, especially in the periphery countries in Europe, but less so in big countries like the U.S. where government spending is not on a sustainable path.
- Regulatory complexity is another underappreciated risk. It is inhibiting economic growth and employment. Companies do not want to invest when they don't know what the rules will be in the future or they become too complex. There's a lot of that now in the U.S. and Europe, especially in the financial sector.
- Geopolitics is always a source of uncertainty. Our focus remains on finding companies that can prosper even in an uncertain global environment. And we're finding really good fundamental stories where valuations have not yet been reflected in the price. That's what we have done in the past, it's what we are doing now, and that should continue to result in investment success over time.
Investment Outlook Remains Positive
- The current investment climate is challenging, particularly following the gains of last year. Valuations clearly are not as cheap as they were a year ago. However, we believe there are good prospects for better fundamentals in the near term.
- The transition to better economic growth in developed markets presents potential for a virtuous cycle and significant operating leverage for well-positioned companies. Corporate free cash flow and profitability are generally strong, but the durability of profit margins is a key question for markets longer term.
These views are current as of May 15, 2014, and may have changed since that time.
Investing overseas holds special risks—political uncertainty, unfavorable currency exchange rates, and to a lesser degree, market illiquidity—which will cause the value of the Overseas Stock Fund to fluctuate more than that of a similar domestic fund.

Peace indeed, Corey Feldman. He's getting the big peace out from his Playboy model wife, Susannah Feldman, who just filed for divorce from the childhood actor/adult reality TV star. According to Zimbio:
Susannah's flame for Corey was apparently sparked at a young age. She has been quoted as saying, ""I knew I would marry Corey ever since I saw Stand By Me."
According to Screen Junkies' unsubstantiated gossip, the official reason for divorce on the document:
He's Corey Feldman.
We've also heard reports that Susannah was tired of Corey Haim sleeping on their living room couch. Two Coreys is apparently just too much. I know because I've accidently flipped past The Two Coreys.

Franken to Take Senate Fight to ... the Senate
Posted on Dec 1, 2008
Still locked in a bitter recount battle for the right to represent Minnesota in the upper house, Al Franken's lawyer says he might take the matter directly to the U.S. Senate, which the Constitution allows to be the "Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members."
At issue are "as many as 1,000" discarded absentee ballots that the Franken campaign wants counted.
Franken's lawyer, Marc Elias, said he would first seek a decision from the canvassing board and the courts.

Franken reminds me of this little snot nosed kid who cries and kicks when he doesn't get his way. An opportunist, leveraging what ever loop hole he can find in the "system" to create a way to get his way. And the guy was never funny as a comedian.

Research Interests:
- Bacterial Pathogenesis
- Studies of host-pathogen relationship during pulmonary infection
- Vaccine discovery and development against aerosol bacterial agents
Emerging infectious diseases and potential biological warfare agents represent a new and challenging obstacle in the field of medical microbiology. The majority of these pathogens, particularly the ?select agents?, can be transmitted through the aerosol route. My research interests focus on the host-pathogen relationship of bacterial organisms that are able to colonize and persist in the lung. In particular, we seek to identify novel mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens evade host immune surveillance and establish chronic infection in the host. Past studies of mine have focused on the capability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to establish latency in lung granulomas and on the ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to persist in the cystic fibrosis lung. Currently, my laboratory is examining the molecular basis by which the biological threat agent, Burkholderia pseudomallei, evades host innate immune responses. We are using both proteomic and immunological approaches to identify novel surface proteins of B. pseudomallei that influence disease outcome through initial interactions with lung epithelial cells. In addition, we are applying these same techniques for the purposes of vaccine discovery and development against B. pseudomallei and other aerosol threat agents.

I tried to show a couple of places close up that were real tough. Getting the cut outs around the neck was pretty difficult as the fabric is pretty thick, and not printed but embroidered. I am even more impressed by the job the PTC did on Chris' paisley guitar after trying this at home. The overlap you guys did on his cut away is masterfully done and something beyond what I could hope to do my first time, whoever did that job deserves a beer or few!
Absolutely superb, Sergio!
What did you use to finish the edges of the cloth? flame? glue? varnish?
Thanks. Serg....
After seeing Chris's guitar and this pone by you, I'm seriously trolling for an inexpensive SE and some black paisley embroidered cloth...
I redid the seat covers in my 1970 914 and did the dash in cloth long, long ago. Sadly, that car is long gone.
Anyone else feel like they need a Sergio Special? Killer work.
Plank Owner
For the rest of our forum membership: Shawn and the PTC rule.
I hollered at Shawn to make sure it was cool that I was posting a build using Gucci fabric before I started this, and he offered to help in any way he could. Now this really should have been a job for the PTC, and I feel as though I could have asked him to tell me how they did it... and he probably would have... but that would've been cheating in my mind, and way less fun for me.
I had worked in the prop business in my varied careers (music is hard to make a living with sometimes) and have designed and built things for print, television, film, etc. and the amount of openness between competitors (not that I could ever compete with PRS, or want to!) of how they achieve results are most often heavily guarded secrets. There is a big difference between making something look good for a scene or a shot, and making something functional for daily use like the PTC guys do, and I'm stoked at how supportive Shawn has been.
This place F@#kin' rules.
EDIT: I'm also seriously considering doing it to the SE semihollow That I put Shawn's #10 pups ion. Those pups are DARK and I'm starting to think the whole guitar needs to be darker - like black paisley. right now it's that darker green with a binding, black sides, back neck and headstock....

In our review this treadmill is excellent for beginning or intermediate power walkers and runners. If you have marathons on the mind, see other NordicTracks for the power you'll need.
What We Like:
- Endless Program Options: The C700 treadmill is loaded with 24 workout applications. Designed by a certified personal trainer, each app targets calorie burning, incline training, speed and/or workout intensity goals. The options become endless when you use iFit, which is compatible with the new C700 but not the older model. Using your household's wireless Internet, iFit gives you access to personalized workout downloads, virtual training with Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser, Facebook-based treadmill races and other interactive options.
- Console Screen: The 6″ backlit console screen is designed for easy reading at any angle. It's a bit smaller than the screens on other NordicTracks for 2014, but it accomplishes its task of displaying speed, time, distance, calories and pulse. A racetrack graphic depicts your progress in quarter-mile laps.
- Wireless Heart Rate Monitors: Pulse heart rate sensors are built into the C700 treadmill handlebars. You can also use a chest strap (sold separately) to get more accurate wireless readings.
- Audio Entertainment: The C700 has an InterMix Acoustics 2.0 sound system and a port for your iPod or other MP3 player.
- Long & Adjustable Track: The track sold on the 2014 version of the C700 is just right for all but the tallest runners. It measures 20″ x 60″ whereas the earlier model has a 58″ track. The cushioning is adjustable; you can make it firm like the road or cushioned to reduce impact.
- Power Incline: The motorized incline tilts up to 12% to help you get better tone and burn calories more quickly.
- Commercial Motor: This unit's 2.75 HP DurX motor is designed to support long workouts. It's sold with a lifetime warranty.
- Warranty: You'll get lifetime warranties on the motor and frame, a two-year parts warranty and the first year of labor free. That's not terribly impressive but it's much better than the warranties accompanying most other treadmills that cost less than $1000.
- High Capacity: Although it folds, this treadmill is sturdy. It officially has a 350 pound capacity.
- SpaceSaver: The NordicTrack C700 can be folded vertically for storage. Shock-assist technology makes it easy to manipulate the machine.
What We Don't Like:
Not cutting-edge: If you're a person who wants the latest and greatest technologies, then this isn't the treadmill for you. The C700 is a great value but it lacks the bells and whistles – touchscreens, TVs, 3" speakers and such – that are found on more expensive NordicTrack treadmills.
Our Verdict:
We highly recommend the NordicTrack C700 treadmill to walkers and light runners seeking great basics and a few extras. The addition of iFit is sure to spark lots of sales, and workout variety is already interesting with 24 built-in programs to choose from.
That said, if you can spend a bit more, check out the C900 or more advanced NordicTracks. These have steeper inclines, more powerful motors, larger displays and longer warranties.

October 12, 2011
By Nina Owcharenko
If the goal is producing $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion in 10-year savings, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction must think big and produce recommendations with real substance. Nothing could be truer than dealing with the health care savings component.
Typically, these negotiations are so focused on reaching the savings target that the policy gets neglected, or worse hijacked in the wrong direction. One only needs to look at the 1997 Balanced Budget Act to see this in action. Yes, a Republican Congress and Democratic administration were able to join hands and claim victory -- the federal budget was balanced!
However, alongside this short-lived budget victory were a slew of health care policy changes that undermined conservative, free-market health care solutions. Most notably, one such change established a new health care entitlement program: SCHIP; and another advanced draconian cuts to Medicare providers resulting in a permanent "doc fix" dilemma. Even the so-called conservative "wins" that resulted -- Medicare+Choice and Medical Savings Accounts -- were hamstrung by regulation and designed to fail.
This recent history offers an object lesson to the super committee.
But, again, the policy discussion is already getting cloudy. Ideas about adopting more price controls into Medicare -- through importing Medicaid-style drug rebates and allowing the federal government to dictate prescription drug prices via "negotiations" -- are examples of bad policies being sold as great savers. There are also rumblings to repeal the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance as a way to raise revenue; rather than replacing the exclusion with more equitable, individual tax relief. Finally, there is the "more-of-the-same" approach, which attempts to squeeze more savings through provider cuts. These do not constitute entitlement reform and, in fact, cause more harm than good.
To avoid these mistakes, the joint committee must focus on savings and structural policy reforms. The Heritage Foundation's Saving the American Dream plan offers a comprehensive approach to fix the debt, cut spending and restore prosperity -- beginning with repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
The health care law adds to our nation's fiscal crisis. It expands the failing Medicaid program by adding 17 million to 25 million more Americans on to the hemorrhaging entitlement program. It sets in place a prohibitively costly subsidies scheme that the Congressional Budget Office's estimates put at $96 billion by 2021. Even worse, the law makes more than $500 billion in Medicare cuts -- not to help fill Medicare's funding gaps, but to pay for the new entitlements from the law.
Even without the health law, government health care entitlements are fueling the country's fiscal woes. Medicare faces a flood of more than 77 million baby boomers joining the program over the next 20 years. The Medicare trustees' annual report continues to warn of the program's unsustainable and unfunded obligations. Meanwhile, Medicaid is draining state budgets, taking more resources away from other important programs such as education and transportation. The federal-state partnership creates perverse incentives to leverage the open-ended federal funding scheme, while at the same time limiting states' flexibility to manage their programs. CBO estimated Medicare and Medicaid combined already consumed 5.5 percent of the nation's 2010 gross domestic product.
Finally, the tax treatment of health insurance is in desperate need of structural change. The tax code provides unlimited tax relief to those who obtain health insurance through their workplace, but there is no comparable relief for those without employer-based coverage. But any tax revenue should be used toward extending a more equitably distribution to taxpayers so they can buy their own health coverage, no matter their work status.
The Heritage plan addresses these issues by converting the current open-ended entitlements to a defined contribution system that is accountable to individuals, families and taxpayers. Through a competitive, consumer-based model, health care system can deliver better care at a lower price.
The joint select committee recommendations should be grounded in sound health policies. They should make measurable progress in restructuring the health care system toward a sustainable, consumer-based model -- not just meet a fiscal target and call it reform.

The states who are party to the 2010 Review Conference have been positive in affirming the so called 'three pillars' of the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT). These are the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, nuclear disarmament by the Nuclear Weapons States, and the right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
It is this last point, however, that has increasingly concerned me over the first week of this Review Conference.
Negotiations on the second day of the NPT conference here in New York provided both glimpses of hope and cause for frustration.
The NPT Review Conference opened here in New York on the 3 May 2010 with major statements from Ban Ki-Moon, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hillary Clinton.
The days preceding the opening of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference at the UN in New York on the 3 May 2010 have been both compelling and exhausting. Many international NGOs and their supporters have been busily engaged at the 'Disarm Now' International NGO Conference at the Riverside Church in Harlem, an historic and symbolic venue for the peace movement in the US.

5 Signs He May Have a Small 'One'
Ever wondered what could be worse than getting a root canal? Well, how about waiting months upon months to have sex with a guy and you find out he has a small ding dong. Imagine starving for food and you look in the refrigerator, only to find there is nothing to munch on. The discovery of a small penis will have you crying in the corner reflecting on your past…your future… your hopes and dreams. I would say that all women have about four basic wants in a prospective boyfriend: nice job, nice looking, nice car, and nice penis. However, we all know a big penis trumps about two or three of those wants on our list. No, every man can't have the "king of the jungle" waiting for you in his pants, but you must admit there is a part of you hoping to find one every time. Dealing with a guy with a small one is very sensitive territory and you don't want to risk the chance of hurting his feelings. Trust me, you are not the first one to discover his "thing" is tiny. He knows, his ex-girlfriends know, and now, you know. Don't make him feel like a spectacle. If you don't discover his little friend until you are in the heat of the moment, it's too late for you, but for the rest of us there may actually be signs that reveal his "shortcomings" before needing to reach out to the SWAT (Small Weiner Avoidance Team.) At the very least, its nice to be able to prepare yourself for the possibility (big or small.) Hey guys this is just for laughs. We all can be loved and desired by someone.
He is the "Relationship Guy"
In some cases, guys with small penises use relationships as crutches. They think that maybe if they are a really, really good boyfriend it will distract from his absentee penis. They take you on shopping sprees, cook you dinner every night, rub your feet and wash your clothes, all in the hopes that he will keep you around. However, he is deemed the "relationship guy" because he is always bouncing from relationship to relationship. Why? Well, let's be honest. Think about the guy that you just can't seem to get over. He was good in bed, wasn't he? Exactly. The guy who is genitally challenged finds it hard to keep the women around.
All of His Exes Cheated on Him
Women cheat for one reason: she feels neglected. Either she feels neglected emotionally or sexually, and sometimes if the sex is good enough, the emotional factor can be omitted. After talking to a new suitor and you realize that all of his stories about his exes involve being cheating on, you may just be talking to a "Small Dick Tracy." You'll know if he has a really small 'wang', if not only did she cheat on him, but with his best friend! Whether that is true or not, if all his exes cheated on him in the past, that definitely poses as a red flag.
He doesn't Press You For Sex
Ever thought the man you were dating was such a gentleman, because he never dared ask you for sex? However, after a few months of being a gentleman, you were dying and pleading for him to ravage you like a beastly man. The small dick man has no problem withholding from sex, and can be famously quoted for saying "A gentleman never asks." Even, when you are in a relationship with him and you've already seen what he has to offer, he still might hold back. Some guys are too embarrassed to whip it out and continuously feel inadequate. Hey, if you are a still around, try to make him feel more at ease, which will require you to initiate every time.
He's the Bitch in the Relationship
As a rule of thumb, I'd say the smaller the penis, the bigger the emotions. Commonly, a man's penis is so small, he starts to grow a vagina. Not really but, he's fights so hard to maintain his manhood, his emotions start to fluctuate and become irrational like he is on his period. Needless to say, the more unsatisfied you feel in the bedroom, you, the woman, has now become the man. You find yourself setting the rules, being the boss, and being insensitive to his feelings. Again no one pays me to make these assumptions, but I believe the bigger the penis the stronger the control on the household. However, when there are no penises present, the woman naturally takes the lead.
He's a Oral Overachiever
Cutting straight to the point, men who aren't well endowed in the pants, tend to be great at head. For example, people who have lost their eye sight, tend to have superb auditory skills. Well, the same goes for these types of guys. At times, all he may want to do is orally satisfy you, and then he is done, which is definitely a warning sign when first dating a guy. So, if in the first months he just 'mouths you down' and that's it, you may have ran into 'Mr. Smalls'. He's using his tongue as a distraction, but don't worry, that oral voodoo will tend to wear off.
Great Blog! "The smaller the penis the bigger the emotions." lol
I swear to God… "His penis is so small it starts to become a vagina." is the worst most hilarious statement of this century untill you get to "mouths you down"! You are a hilarious a-hole, and a genius. I think the ladies will feel you twice over on this one. I know that there are men that won't like it but hey you can't please everyone right? hahahahaha! I'm still laughin'
I'm nice I have a tiny dick and a lot of emotions so that all sounds very accurate.
I have a small penis and do fit most of this list. Remember though, the fact that men put effort into oral sex and relationships can be really good. I've had good experiences but yes I've had girlfriends who were penetrated by other men or had lesbian experiences while dating me.
I've dated guys with small weiners and guys with big ones. And those attributes can apply to both. If a small dicked guy is all of those, her would be perfect other than the size of his package. But unfortunately you are wrong.
Haha, oh dear.
Well, as long as you know that it works exactly the same with girls and their looks in general, then it's all good.
Can't i be satiafies by a small penis, i mean does it mean i need to leave a good looking man who has it all but a small penis just because of that one shortcoming?
I guess this makes sense…i have a little 5″ dick when I'm erect…and I fit all those categories…
As a guy with a small penis I guess I should just put a fucking bullet in my head.
I am a guy with a "little one" too… 5″ when hard and maybe 3″ when soft…and I fit all these categories…and I'm VERY tall to throw you ladies off even more…I realized I was small after I was cheated on several times…she told me "I want a MAN in my life, not a little boy". I moved back in with my Mom after that…i don't date right now…I actually ran into her and her new "hung" guy at a restaurant…embarrassingly enough I was with my Mom…she had a big grin on her face and I knew she was laughing all the way home with her MAN : (
I think this is false. I have always kind of been a relationship guy I am good at oral, I sometimes can be very emotional, ive had girls cheat on me AND I really don't push for sex ALL the time… sometimes I do….
with that being said
I have almost an 8 inch dick that is not bad in thickness either…..
so I think this is all bs
I've had a booty call with a giant dick that I had to remove from my booty call list cause he didn't know how to handle it. In and out bangbangbang is not everything. I've slept with guys with big dicks, who didn't want a relationship, naturally because they wanted to sleep with as many girls as possible with their giant dick, but hey, they were amazing with their dick and I still dream about it, but as a girl you could forget about anything oral happening other than you (the girl) sucking his giant dick. Anyhow, I don't think this is bs. If you know how to satisfy a woman with your big dick, you shouldn't have a problem being cheated on, if you do, then you have to work on your fucking skills.
come on! A guy with a small penis isn't exactly the end of the world (as long as it's not extremely small)
I've been with guys who had big penises and they were complete jerks and morons, perhaps because they felt so confident
Honestly I prefer a guy with a smaller one that doesn't behave like an animal.
I had enough bad experiences
There is nothing worse than a tiny penis, I have had two. One, really hot guy, told me his girlfriends always seem to leave him after sex. (gee, I wonder why?) The next one, was a movie director, super nice, but my god, I could not feel a damn thing. Also, it's too boyish and that's dang sick.. I like a new guy and I'm kinda worried as he's a virgin, he's 32 and says it's because he's Catholic. Well, we shall see :/
Not sure about the other 3, but as a guy with a tiny one…I can attest to 2 and 5
One of the most accurate articles I've read online, especially the "He's the Bitch in the Relationship" section. Very rare that you get a woman who tells the truth about it, but it's fantastic to see.
I've dated a number of men over the years, and a number of your assumptions are just too true. Small dick men are more emotional, and yes, some of them are soooo small that they start to grow into vaginas. It's a confidence issue that unfortunately stems back to when they were children: "You're gonna grow into a man. The man is strong, powerful, and the dominant figure in society." Then, unfortunately, they realize that dominance is relative to other men, so they start getting more and more self-conscious until, eventually, they start acting like women.
"The bigger the penis, the stronger the control on the household" is absolutely true, and it's another that deals with confidence. A big dick man has the confidence that enables him to be dominant over you; he knows he's in charge, and he knows that you're aware of it. He doesn't have to oral achieve because he knows that I'm gonna be able to feel him. A small dick man doesn't know that, and as such he's basically powerless over you. If the man doesn't control you, then he's not a man, and he doesn't have a penis. And, just as you said, "when there are no penises present, the woman naturally takes the lead." Brilliant article.
" You'll know if he has a really small 'wang', if not only did she cheat on him, but with his best friend! " YEP everything in this article so true ! LOL
This is a horrible list of reasons some of these are qualities .doing things w her other then sex means I have a small penis?. just because you have a big dick dosnt mean you have to be one. + there are many other ways for a small dicked man to find good sex with out size queens it's absolutely ridiculous how this particular fetish has grown to be not only hurtful to average to small males but untrue.
My boyfriend is fortunately an exception to this rule. He is every single one of these things but he does not a have small one, thank God. I mean, I wouldn't mind if it were smaller but men are SO sensitive about the size of their penises! Seriously, men aren't even satisfied with being average sized anymore…it's big or nothing. My bf is above 7 inches and he is still extremely self-conscious about his size. perhaps he's just very insecure–idk–but it's so annoying.
I am a black man with a small one and this blog stings even more for me because it's 90% true. I've either been through or am going through all these things. Being black and having a small dick is and has been a living hell. Im a 6incher and it's not thick either which in the mind of women (especially black) is the equivalent of nothing and us small dicked men get treated like nothing. S.D. (small dicked) men have the same experience of stress, embarrassment, shy, sad and shameful experiences. You ARE dehumanized to the point to where you begin to question God's existence and with some dudes suicidal thoughts. But you left out a few others:
1. If he is a handsome guy with an unattractive woman or has a long track record of dating ugly women.
2. All of his ex girlfriends were promiscuous women
3. He doesn't care for head and if so he doesn't want you to use your hands.
**Bonus** If your gf wants you to do all this over the top four play etc. ALL the time or jumps at the chance for anal.
I could literally give you a 100 more but you can understand our misery. I went the whole pretending to not care that my dick size was the cause of me being cheated on ruthlessly or the reason a girl has no problem with letting go. It's as if we were put on this earth to eat pussy, get cheated on, date women who are always "tired" or have a "headache " when it's time to get down to business. My experiences with women are the polar opposite of my friends who are blessed who have OPTIONS andCHOICES other than whoever is desperate or using you for money. I will say that me being honest with myself over the years is just to take it and accepts it as "There are people who can walk so I guess I should be more apappreciative. "………….yeah. thats the best that I can do. But it's been therapeutic reading this and I thank you. It was ridicule but definitely funny and true
……..and one other thing. As a small dicked black man you get tired of all your ex girlfriends wanting to go out of there way to be friends after they left or broke up with you because little dick guys really are great people from being humbled. It is the bane of our existence to have to repeatedly go through the same' break-up-with-me-1st-and-befriend-me-later-so-we-can talk & laugh while your in your car on the way to your new guy's house routine. It's insulting and I can only say that because if a guy didn't wanna date a girl because he felt her ass was too flat…….but STILL wanted to befriend her after cheating on her with his current gf "big booty judy" than it would be a problem. Also, little dicked men are great listeners. When the guy a girl really wants to be banging doesn't text because he's busy she knows she can actually CALL the little dicked guy and he'll entertain the convo. He HAS too almost. Finally I pray and hope that one day women will learn to not SAY a WORD about how big a small man's penis is if she hopes to even have him pretend to think that he is giving her pleasure. He might move and groove but if he is a small man and u say how big or how deep you can feel it than he is going to immediately know the jig is up. Thats when the fights really start to be honest because you are disappointed from the nothing you felt during sex and he is saying to himself "here we go with this shit again. I wonder how long this will last?" It's worse enough women over exaggerate the size of a small one as much as a big one. What I've grown to learn is that a woman's visual measurements are multiplied or subtracted when it comes to the actual measurements of a man's penis. If he is 6 inches and its skinny then that apparently means "honest to God it was 2.5 inches long and as thick as my finger girl!!!!!" (True Story BtW) and if its 7 or more but fat than that can change to his dick being a third leg. Finally for any of you women out there who wanna weed out the small men before dating them then just talk about how you LOVE big cocks. They will dissappear from that conversation faster than a hooker from church.
damn bro you really sound like a b1ch grow some balls. Damn shame society turns men like this into females. act like a man you wasnt born a female.
Why would you disrespect his honesty? Fuck the 'macho' complex.
My dick is 6.2 inches long erect and 4.7 inches around.
Confidence shouldn't come from your dick, it should come from within, when you believe in yourself contrary to consensus reality. I'm glad I wasn't born with a huge dick for that reason included.
It's not to say that I don't realize a penis should (to please a women vaginaly) be at least 5 inches as vaginas are 5 inches up. But any longer that 7 is stupid in my opinion. Where's it going? She's just in pain lol.
I get women wet, they orgasm and I'm not the thickest or the longest and I do just fine. It's not as important to have a 'big dick' as people think. It will hurt women.
Now for me controlling women I do agree somewhat, but my dick doesn't influence my strength, my mind does.
I have a very powerful character because I believe in myself.
To guys out there who may be struggling with this stupid dick shit, believe in yourself and accept what you have. If you want to make it longer and thicker, get a bathmate or an extender. But always accept you, fuck the low life's that make out penis size is everything. If that's the case then go and fuck a horse lol.
Peace…..fuck your complex
You should be sure you don't misinterpret shyness for having a small one. Also I noticed that girls often think if they offer sex to a guy he would directly jump at them. We also have standards and needs, and if we feel we are just there to please then this isn't really attractive.
I am what is considered big (not going to say the exact number but it's in the upper 2%) and I don't really like when a girl treats me like I am some toy. For that the bragging about my body would have to be really really strong to convince me enough to be just seen as a dick.
It's a good thing you wrote "Hey guys this is just for laughs. We all can be loved and desired by someone." Otherwise the mean and crushing things you wrote would make men feel worse about themselves. Your article is reinforcing harmful stereotypes, namely that women aren't funny. I've met many women who are nice, funny, and have more than a shallow attraction to men and are interested in the actual person they are dating. If you have a size limit that's fine, just make sure to say something sooner rather than later.
This is the best laugh I've had in a long time. Bravo.
Whether or not there is truth to it, I haven't a clue, but thank you, hilarious!
I hate having a little dick I been with a lot of girls but I always wonder why I never had a girlfriend I used to think like im a cool person look nice and every girl I do get like me a lot they don't complain about my sex but I know there just being nice cause I am, or they don't complain cause I paid to get they nails done or shit like that lol its funny cause I can be a player and be cool with it but I want me a girlfriend then I read this and all the comments like DAM a lot of this shit true I am the relationship type I don't ask for sex all the time knowing I want that shit but be shy cause of my size I know if I had a nice size dick then I will be almost perfect and confident lol have you ever been in a room full of girls and everybody wanna play freaky games for example truth or dare I kept picking true so one of the girls wont dare me to show my dick they be looking like your playing the game all wrong. I think girls don't know or think I got a little dick cause since I was a kid I always wanted to be a man when I be around women I act and think like the man most women want I could never be the bitch in the relationship and I never ate pussy but when its time for me to ask for sex that's when I start feeling like a little boy cause I be shy then I start thinking all the wrong things like everything is going good what if she see my dick then be like im too small for her then tell her friends and it get back to the people I know.. the reason why im on here cause I just had a girl over here yesterday everything was good she brought some weed for us to smoke she was telling me how she wanted a boyfriend then we had sex but when she got on top of me and start riding I cam fast and it felt like we didn't do nothing cause she didn't go up and down I can tell she was mad she got up cool but she left out fast and I know it was because of what happened… its like aint no hope either you can be cool with having sex with different women if you can, or always be waiting for that one who will accept you and your flaw and it seem like she hard to find and after reading this blog and comments if you got a little dick you might live lonely its like you can have sex but you wont have a life long partner…WHY…

Mo. House OKs drug tests for welfare recipients
CBS St. Louis (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSStL.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSStL.com/Health
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Missouri House endorsed a bill Wednesday to conduct drug tests of welfare applicants if the state suspects that they are using illegal drugs.
Under the bill, people who fail the drug test would lose their benefits under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program for one year.
The bill's supporters said taxpayers do not want people to use welfare money to buy drugs.
"Clearly, this federal government had no intent of including drug users in these cash benefits," said sponsoring Rep. Ellen
Brandom, R-Sikeston.
She also said drug testing helps prepare welfare recipients for jobs since many employers require the tests.
About 43,700 families, totaling about 112,000 people, receive TANF benefits each month in Missouri, according to a fiscal estimate included with the bill.

The hearts of everyone in Los Alamos goes out to Jim West, as do all our prayers and wishes for his speedy recovery.
While we may have disagreed with him from time to time, his concern for this community, his hard and dedicated work and his efforts on all our behaves is unquestioned.
His humor, his grace and his experience will be missed. He will be a tough act to follow.
It is in that vein that we urge the council to proceed with all due caution. There is precedent for this in the past and the input and care taken then should be followed now.
And this is something that should be left to the new council.
This council has only a couple of meetings left and only a few days in its term. The incoming council has years ahead of it and this decision should be left up to those good people.
The council should start the process, they should begin to gather input, ideas, candidates and the like. But the decision should be left up to those it will impact the most, the next council.
West created a situation where he showed what you can do with the right person in place. His leadership on regional transportation matters was second to none.
How we fill that void is vital to our future development.
His knowledge of the state and region added a lot to the dialogue of the council.

Leonardo DiCaprio Partners with WWF to Save Tigers
Leonardio DiCaprio's current vacation isn't as laid-back as his frequent romantic getaways with girlfriend Bar Rafaeli.
PHOTOS: Relive Leo's most romantic role
Instead, the actor is visiting Asia with the World Wildlife Fund in an effort to save the estimated 3,200 tigers left in the wild from extinction.
PHOTOS: Check out Hollywood's biggest stars lending a helping hand
"Tigers are endangered and critical to some of the world's most important ecosystems," DiCaprio tells UsMagazine.com in a statement. "Key conservation efforts can save the tiger species from extinction, protect some of the planet's last wild habitats and help sustain the local communities surrounding them."
With 2010 marking the Chinese Year of the Tiger, the WWF has set a $20 million goal to double the tiger population by 2022 -- the next Year of The Tiger.

Stepping out in a sophisticated ensemble at the Starkey Hearing Foundation Gala that was held on July 24 in St. Paul, Oklahoma, Miley Cyrus posed gracefully as the photographers snapped away. What do you think, is this one of Miley's most polished red carpet appearances ever? I'm into the chic simplicity of this look, even though E! Online critiqued the fact that she "shouldve covered up the tan lines." I do agree on that point! Miley's asymmetrical black gown was accessorized with a gemstone ring and a bright orange manicure, what are your thoughts on this look everyone? If you're looking for a classic black maxi dress, check out the offerings here on CoutureCandy, such as Sky's Long Maxi Dress in Black or Hard Tail's Surplus Wrap Maxi Dress in Black. For something a little sexier, Sena's Slit Maxi Dress in Black will do the trick. From there, add a pop of color with Robyn Rhodes' Roxy Ring in Turquoise. Cosmopolitan UK had this to say about Miley's all-grown-up ensemble: "Yowzers! Hasnt Miley Cyrus turned into the LBD wearing sophisticate? The 18-year-old Disney princess stepped out in LA looking chic and glamorous from head to toe. A flash of collar bone made for a sexy look but were glad she gave a nod to her teens with a fluro orange nail polish. I'm dying to hear your thoughts on this look, be sure to leave a comment!
Miley Cyrus seen in St. Paul, OK on Jul 24 2011.
I'm not a fan of one-sleeved dresses, but with Ms.Cyrus this is as good as it gets. And it's not too bad.guest on Jul 31 2011 @ 02:18 PM
I don't think this dress suits her at all. It ages her...the sunburn doesn't help her either.guest on Jul 31 2011 @ 11:19 PM
sunburn...you've got to be kidding.....she looks orange from spray and the dress is way way too old
for her.guest on Aug 01 2011 @ 06:44 AM

Make pro movement servers ranked and I'll buy prem again. I think I'm not the only one with this opinion.
I do agree.
Ye that's why I quitted to play public Duel. Always ztn. True words here!
I completly agree with you ch1bz!
I hate it in CA because people play Duel Arena on it :/
You fragged none of them.
For me as an european quaker it's worth. A lot of CA, Duel, CTF and TDM premium matches are going on. Don't know how it is in America :s
It's better with commentery imho. Without it's so impersonal, keep 'em coming visje. Help the QL community by this and QL itself to become more popular.
People who can't come to meet and play Duel Arena instead of Clan Arena, ending in 25 minutes games and thinking they are quite good because they didn't die that often...
