Romney loses South Carolina to Gingrich; tells supporters he'll keep 'fighting for every vote'
Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
» View our political blog, with live updates and analysis of the South Carolina primary.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Moments after U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich was declared the winner of South Carolina's GOP primary Saturday, Mitt Romney's supporters gathered for what they had hoped would be a victory party and started chanting, "Florida, here we come."
Romney told the small but enthusiastic crowd gathered in a state fairgrounds hall he was ready for a long and hard-fought race to the GOP nomination that will continue Jan. 31, with Florida's primary.
"In the coming weeks and months, I will keep fighting for every single vote. I will compete in every state," he said to cheers. "We're going to win this nomination and we're going to defeat President Obama in November."
Less than a week ago, Romney had hoped to deliver a "knockout punch" to his rivals in the first southern state to vote in the primary after a strong showing in Iowa and a win in New Hampshire earlier this month.
But Gingrich's harsh condemnation of the media while denying allegations from an ex-wife that he wanted an open marriage were a death blow to Romney's hopes of effectively securing the nomination Saturday.
"This is an astonishing victory," said Dave Woodard, a Clemson University political science professor and pollster who had been predicting a Romney win until less than 48 hours ago. "I've never seen anything where somebody who was outspent two-to-one could do well in a debate and come back like this. He's tapped into something strong."
Gingrich reached "frustrated and angry" Republican voters, Woodard said. "Here is a guy who could speak their language and catch their fire. They really rallied to him. That's what they want."
He said Romney, who struggled at the same debate to answer questions related to his personal fortune, has "got to be a fire-breather. He's got to show some passion."
That's not Romney's style, said South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, who served as Romney's campaign chairman in the Palmetto State.
"I think he's a strong debater. He loves the ideas. He loves the issues. But he's just not one of these guys who can play to the media," Loftis said.
Gingrich made "an emotional appeal to the conservative voters of the state," he said. "I have real problems with that because I don't think pithy one-liners or conservatives running against the media does anything to advance the republic."
South Carolina voters, Loftis said, are "emotional people. We're conservative people. And I mean these are my brothers and sisters. This is who we are. I get it … it has an effect on me."
Gingrich has hammered Romney about his business dealings as head of Bain Capital, a firm that invested in troubled companies and fired employees in an attempt to make them profitable.
In his concession speech, Romney told the crowd that the "frontal assault on free enterprise" is an attack on "every person who dreams of a better future. He's attacking you."
He called it a mistake for the GOP to take on an issue already embraced by Democrats.
"The Republican Party doesn't demonize prosperity. We celebrate success," Romney said. "We cannot defeat the president with a candidate who has joined that very assault on free enterprise."
While Romney's supporters loudly cheered his speech, they were clearly upset at the election results.
Philip Lawson said he was "really disappointed in the people of South Carolina. That's all I am saying. I don't think that Newt Gingrich can get elected because he has so much baggage. He's got a smart mouth."
Bill Brown, a Romney volunteer, said he talked to many evangelical voters who wouldn't consider Romney because he is a Mormon, a faith they don't see as Christian.

WASHINGTON, April 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) announced today the launch of the Across America Hearing Check Challenge (http://www.hearingcheck.org), a nationwide campaign to help millions of Americans reclaim their quality of life by facing up to unaddressed hearing loss. The campaign will serve as the central theme for Better Hearing and Speech Month, which occurs during the month of May.
Spouses, Baby Boomers and their aging parents, and all American families and friends are encouraged to rise to the challenge and get their hearing checked -- together. "Now, simply by visiting and walking through a 15-question self-screener in the privacy of one's own home, anyone can easily take the first step in addressing hearing loss," says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, executive director, BHI.
"We know that unaddressed hearing loss seriously undercuts a person's quality of life and has a tremendous impact on relationships," Kochkin continues. "We also know that too many people wait years, even decades, before getting treatment -- being either unaware of the extent of their hearing loss or too afraid to confront it -- losing out on so much."
"That's why BHI is waving the red flag, starting now and during Better Hearing and Speech Month this May, in an effort to help millions. We've developed a simple, interactive screening check that couples, families, and anyone else can use in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Now, by visiting http://www.hearingcheck.org, Americans can take the first, most critical step in reclaiming their hearing--and quality of life."
Research shows that hearing health affects everything from job
performance to sexual intimacy. And when someone experiences unaddressed
hearing loss, it silently erodes the sufferer's quality of life --
undermining family relationships

From the start of his presidency, Kennedy feared that the Pentagon brass would overreact to Soviet provocations and drive the country into a disastrous nuclear conflict. The Soviets might have been pleased—or understandably frightened—to know that Kennedy distrusted America's military establishment almost as much as they did.
TFA puts a bit of historical context into the recent discussions we have been having. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". (George Santayana).
Hospital's network administration desires to provide a reasonable level of privacy, users should be aware that the data they create on the organization's systems remains the property of... Hospital.
Not sure how that is going to work out overall, seems a bit over arching — like what, precisely, is 'data'? But the thing that really has me annoyed because it clobbers my work flow is the fun statement:
All PCs, laptops and workstations should be secured with a password-protected screensaver with the automatic activation feature set at 10 minutes or less, or by logging-off when the host will be unattended.
My point being that a generic, hardcoded time to lock the workstation is a dumb idea, especially when many of the computers are located within a controlled environment. Logging in a couple of dozen times per day is not how I would define a productive use of my time.
Has anyone else found an 'authorative" pontification of these ideas, especially in regards to healthcare systems in the US? (Hopefully the rest of the world isn't as batshit insane as we are).
Writing for the court, Justice Clarence Thomas said isolated DNA is a "product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated." At the same time, Thomas said synthetic molecules known as complementary DNA, or cDNA, can be patented because they require a significant amount of human manipulation to create.
Seems perfectly sane. Raw genes, the ones you find in nature are, wait for it — natural. Other bits of manipulated DNA / RNA / protein which take skill and time to create are potentially patentable. Oddly, Myriad Genetics stock actually rose on that information.

JONESBORO, Ark. (KTHV) -A growing population of homeless people are living in Jonesboro, so city officials have agreed to create a task force to further study this issue.
Last week, the Jonesboro City Council approved creating a homeless prevention task force. It will consist of 13 people who work directly with the homeless.
They have already laid out a few goals for themselves, but do not have a lot of time to accomplish them.
Mission Outreach of Northeast Arkansas Executive Director Jamie Collins said out of the six county area the agency serves, the biggest need is in Jonesboro.
"What you see on TV, the little lady pushing the cart isn't what you see in Jonesboro. It's not what you see in Greene County and so each area has their own unique needs," said Collins.
The homelessness task force will meet for the first time next month.

Ha I am in love with this design.
And the title was just perfect.
Look! this has been done a zillion and one times before!
no one wants to be a guitar anymore!!!! or anything! just a shirt with a cool design is good enough.
I know there are a billion guitar designs out there, but I have yet to see one like mine that's been printed. I'm seeing all these really detailed and complex t-shirts coming out that you have to look at up close to understand; I'd like to take it back to something simple you can make sense of from any distance.
Thanks for the comments, everyone, keep 'em coming!

Intake of vitamins among clinically healthy adults from continental Croatia estimated by 24-h recall
Department of Food and Nutrition Research, Faculty of Food Technology, University F.F. Strossmayer in Osijek, Osijek, Croatia.International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition (Impact Factor: 1.21). 09/2008; 59(6):457-64. DOI: 10.1080/09637480701425635
Source: PubMed
The role of vitamins in nutrition of the Croatian population is still underestimated and insufficiently investigated although they have important protective effects in human health. The aim of this research was to examine vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin and ascorbic acid intake in 120 adults, aged 18-54 years (mean 33.8 years). The research was conducted using a 24-h recall method, and was repeated 10 times during 1 year. Participants were separated according to age into two groups (< or = 30 years, and > 30 years), as well as according to sex. There were no significant differences in vitamins intake between age groups. When divided by sex, significant difference in vitamins intake was found. When nutritive density was considered, significant difference was found for more vitamins regarding age, and less regarding sex. In conclusion, considering recommendations, the examined population took adequate amounts of vitamins.

ABSTRACT: This review gives a brief overview of the main types of dementia and summarizes current thinking on the relationship between nutritional-related factors and disorders, and dementia. Dementia is a multi-factor pathological condition, and nutrition is one factor that may play a role on its onset and progression. An optimal intake of nutrients doesn't protect people from dementia. However, studies in this area show that inadequate dietary habits, which are of particular concern in elderly populations, may increase the risk of developing a number of age-related diseases, including disorders of impaired cognitive function. They show that a deficiency in essential nutrients, such as certain B complex vitamins, can result in hyperhomocysteinemia, a well-known risk factor for atherosclerosis and recently associated with cognitive impairment in old age. A deficiency of antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and beta-carotene, as well as nutrition-related disorders like hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes, may also have some role in cognitive impairment. These factors can be present for a long time before cognitive impairment becomes evident, therefore they could be potentially detected and corrected in a timely manner.International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research 04/2005; 75(2):83-95.

Article: Trends in Dietary Intake of Vitamins A, C, and E in German Children and Adolescents – Results of the DONALD Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Intake of vitamins A, C, and E was evaluated and age and time trends were assessed on the basis of 3-day weighed dietary records (n = 5121) of 2- to 18-year old boys (n = 417) and girls (n = 425) enrolled in the DONALD Study (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed Study) 1986-2001. Intake of vitamin A remains stable over time, intake of vitamin C increases linearly, and intake of vitamin E follows a nonlinear trend. Age trends of vitamins A and C (per MJ) were nonlinear with a minimum at the beginning adolescence, while intake of vitamin E (per MJ) increased linearly. Girls had higher nutrient densities but lower intakes expressed as percent of reference values. Fortified food in total had a higher impact on time trends of nutrient intake than other single food groups defined here. Our results point to the impact of the food industry on long-term nutrient intake, but also underline the necessity of nutrition education even in young age groups to improve vitamin intake.International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research 11/2003; 73(5):335-42.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work is to describe how the release of the new Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for the United States and Canada has necessitated changes in the US Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR). New DRIs are reviewed to determine if the units for reporting vitamin intakes have changed and also to determine if the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is based on a different form of the vitamin than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). If the units have changed, decisions are made about how to change to the new units. If the form of the vitamin used for the UL is different from the form used for the RDA, consideration is given to reporting values for different forms of the vitamin. Since the release of the first new DRIs in 1997 several changes have been made to the SR. Folate is now reported in dietary folate equivalents as well as total folate. Folic acid is listed in the database because this is the form that is used to assess intake at the UL. Vitamin A is reported in retinol activity equivalents instead of retinol equivalents and reflects reduced bioactivity of the provitamin-A-carotenoids. Retinol is listed in the database because it is the form that is used to assess intake at the UL. Vitamin E is reported as mg of α-tocopherol instead of mg α-tocopherol equivalents. Milligrams of α-tocopherol in fortified foods were recalculated from IU values based on the form of the vitamin added, either RRR-α-tocopherol or all rac-α-tocopherol. Additional changes will need to be made to the database for niacin and vitamin B12. The DRIs are the basis for determining the adequacy of diets. Therefore it is necessary for nutrient databases to conform to the DRIs to facilitate accurate monitoring of the adequacy of diets.Journal of Food Composition and Analysis 08/2006; 19(19).

A new type of dental implant could soon replace dentures, providing patients with new teeth in a matter of hours.
People with missing teeth currently have to have conventional dental implants, where a porcelain replacement tooth is screwed into the jaw, or dentures, which fit over the gum and are removed at night.
However, not all patients have sufficient jaw bone material to allow them to have conventional implants, and dentures can be uncomfortable and cause rubbing.
The latest technology comprises of a 50mm implant which can be screwed into the cheek bone with a 95 per cent success rate.
Andrew Dawood, a London-based expert in dental implants, told the Daily Mail: "Implants are the gold standard for the replacement of missing teeth. They help retain bone and the structure of the face."
The new implants will be available in a matter of months under private treatment.

Youth Man have revealed a video for the follow-up to 'Heavy Rain' - an AltSounds favourite - with the ravaging 'Wide Awake'. Taken from the Bad Weather EP, which you can download for free here, the video sees a not-so-awake man struggling with everyday tasks, while taking a tour around Paris. The track builds up with a marching beat to a Deap Vally-like crescendo, and this band are not to be missed in a live setting. It's an epic near-6-minute journey through acoustics, riffs, and feedback, though compared to their other songs it is their most subdued.

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Lawrence Finch
Hi Lawrence. I understand there were a slew of battery problems with iPhone 4S, iOS 5, and even iOS 5.0.1. My problem is tied to none of them, as I upgraded to 5.0.1 weeks earlier than when the problem started. (I should have pointed out in my post, it's an iPhone 4, not 4S).
That said, I've reviewed each of your posts, and came up dry still. I do appreciate you pulling together the list, though, and expect that others will benefit from the summary.
Anyone else have more recent problems, not coincident with the release of 5.0.1 or the 4S, or thoughts on what might have caused the sudden issue?
Lawrence Finch Dec 17, 2011 3:35 PM
Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Richard Tench Helpful
Most of the problems that occur when you upgrade can also happen betwen upgrades (as they did for you), but because there is no associated action people don't think of it as the same problem. It is, however. Rapid battery drain is almost always caused by an app that is sending data or trying to and failing, and continually retrying. You have to find the app. Probably 90% of the time it is the email app, especially if you have an Exchange server account. If you do delete the account, reboot, and add it back. Another that frequently works is to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off, then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger.
The other solutions are similar; battery drain is a symptom, not a problem; you need to find the app that is causing the problem.

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Lawrence Finch
I'm sorry ....
I don't need to discovery any app working bad!!!!
I bought then and they must work on the phone ... properly!!!! if not, it competes to apple to solve the problem ...
Any way .... as the engineers of apple are sleeping, I made a full restaure and did not install ANNY THING!!! not even phone contacts!!!! and I droped the battery to zero and charged it completely !!!!
This proves that the problem is with the IOS 5 or with the hardware. I owned the 3G, the 3GS and now the 4 (without S).
The last phone because of whatever is the problem IS A PEACE OF SHEET ...... at the moment.
Is this is the kind of things that destroy a brand. I fill pitty of steve and apple. Bye , bye ...

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Lawrence Finch
Thanks Lawrence. I will give those a try.
FYI, I use Exchange 3 ways: 2 gmail accounts (my personal ones), and one work account (our corporate Exchange server). I mention this in case this triggers a further observation.
Again, much appreciated.
Lawrence Finch Dec 17, 2011 4:44 PM
Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Richard Tench Helpful
I'm pretty sure it is one of the Exchange accounts, then. There is a failure mode in the ActiveSync protocol where the phone keeps trying to use a stale connection even though a new connection has been opened. This is usually caused by something interrupting a data transfer, such as losing the connection during the transfer. You have to kill the stale connections. Sometimes it works to run the battery down until the phone shuts off, which kills all background processes. More often you need to either delete the account as I described and reboot, then add it back, or turn it off (Settings/Mal,Contacts,Calendar, tap the account and turn off the 3 switches), back out of settings, open Mail, then Contacts, then Calendar to clear the queues, reboot the phone, then turn the switches back on.
This problem is not unique the the iPhone. I have also seen it with WinMob and Android phones if they use ActiveSync.

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Lawrence Finch
Dear Lawrence,
I found this thread while investigating about my sudden battery draining problems. I have had an iPhone4 for about a year with no problems whatsoever. I use all sorts of notifications, locations services, and things that typically use up the battery, like 3G data download. Always had between seven and eight hours of phone usage, and on average had to recharge it every other day (this oviously depended also on how much I used the phone). I set it up to wi-fi sync with itunes when system 5.0 came out, updated to 5.01 (or whatever) with no problems and no change in battery usage. Suddenly, few days ago I noticed the drainage. I know it could be many things and decided to simply restore and backup from restore. It is unclear what it did, because the day after I was on a trip and used the iphone a lot, in one day I had pretty much seven-eight hours of usage time on 3G. That heavy usage might have masked a battery drainage. One easily notices an abnormal drainage whan one does NOT use the phone. At any rate, the following day (back home) the problem was clearly visible. It's possible that restoring from backup did re-create the problem. Maybe.
When I read this thread I also went to the first link you provide, and that link sent me to another one. I noticed that my console app was having lots of messages from usbmuxd regarding attaching and detaching the iphone (and ipad too though, and the ipad does not seem to have the battery drainage problem, although it is more difficult to say, because you do not get the stats you get for the iphone, and the ipad battery lasts a lot). Anyway, I decided to do two things. Delete three of my four email accounts, and turn off the wifi syncing with itunes. rebooted and quit itunes.
battery went back to its previous good performance. then i added again the three emails account. battery still strong. then i re-started the wifi syncing yesterday. battery still strong. today i also restarted wifi syncing for the ipad. suddenly i got battery drainage (on the iphone!) again. since i don't believe in magic, i think this is purely coincidental. consider also that i had wifi syncs on both iphone and ipad since 5.0 came out with no issues until last week this battery drainage appeared.
the fact that the battery drainage came out again in a few days is concerning. it's possible that deleting the email accounts again might fix the problem, but how is it possible that i never had these problems for a year, and suddenly it happened two or perhaps three times in less than two weeks? (it is unclear if my battery went temporarily back to its previous performance after the restore, because of the confound of the trip and its related change in iphone usage).
some suggest a reset network settings, but i don't see how that can help. after all, until few hours ago, my iphone battery was going strong with those network settings.
the other thing that puzzles me is why the process that drains the battery does not stop when you reboot. rebooting is of no help at all. how could that be? i thought that rebooting would kill any process on the phone.
i don't like to do things that do not have a rationale. until few hours ago i thought that my problem was a new problem linked to wifi syncing. i now think it's more what you say, associated with emails. but what puzzles me is that after i solved it, it came out again in a couple of days.
any tip?
(and my apologies if this is too long, or too confusing, or most likely both)
Lawrence Finch Jan 16, 2012 2:37 PM
Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to MarcoIac
Marcolac, Wow, a good, thoughtful analysis. I think one of the causes of sudden battery drain is queued messages that cannot be sent, but the app continues to try to resend them. I have done some analysis from the server end of an Exchange email account, and noticed that when my battery drain is abnormally high there are a number of open connections between the Exchange server and the phone, but only one actually exchanging data. The first time this happened (almost 4 years ago) I had the Exchange admin reboot the server and the problem went away. (The only reason he cooperated was he had a lot of iPhones with multiple open connections.)
Queued messages survive a reboot, so that is possibly a reason that rebooting doesn't solve the problem. Deleting the email accounts DOES remove queued messages for email, contacts and calendar (for Exchange and iCloud accounts) so that might be why it works. It's interesting that your problem was not associated with an update; many people think that it is the version updated to that causes the problem. I am convinced it is not, but that possibly the update process can trigger the condition if there were queued messages before the update that were interrupted by the update. And like you, I have experienced the problem of sudden, unexplained battery drain not associated with a recent update.
An alternative to deleting email accounts that I have used successfully is just to turn the account off in Settings, open Mail, Contacts and Calendar so they "know" the account is off, rebooting and turning the accounts back on.
It isn't always email, however (it is for me); there have also been reports that turning off other data-using apps (like the Store apps, Game Center, Ping, etc) somes the battery problem for some users. I think the issue is the same; queued messages from these apps that get "stuck".
The key element is that rapid battery drain is a symptom, not the root cause, and that it has many possible causes. Which is why no one solution will work for everyone. And some users really have no problem beyond unrealistic expectations of what the battery life of a very powerful pocket computer should be. Clearly not you, however.
MarcoIac Jan 16, 2012 3:12 PM
Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Lawrence Finch
I agree with your analysis. In my case it seems to be one (or both) the Gmail accounts. I stopped the battery draining again after posting my message by deleting the Gmail accounts (actually deleted one and switched off the other after i noticed your comment about switching them off; it seems to me that switching them off and clearing the queue should suffice, no reason to delete the account and then reenter the data). (btw, i need to keep them separate, which doesn't necessarily help, but it's the way it is...)
i also have now a potential explanation as to why it never happened before to me and it happened at least a couple of times in a few days. i was unhappy with the fact that some emails sent from my mac mail app were not visible on my iOS devices. i started changing mailbox behavior/settings and experimenting. and since i have four different email accounts (two gmail, my university IMAP, and the mobileme/icloud), i decided to uniformly use the same settings for all of them (it was getting too confusing to test various settings if each account also had a different setting). the bottom line is that i did recently change my mail settings. it is possible that my previous settings did not make it likely to have these queueing problems, and the current ones do. i frankly don't even remember my previous settings, but if the problem happens again, it may be worth for me to try to go back to the previous settings (if i am able to reconstruct them).
with regard to batteries, you are also correct. it's one of those fields were progress has been very difficult, and there is no sight of a magic solution that will make batteries last forever. i was talking to a group of high level electro-engineering profs that also work in my university for a project on brain-computer interface, and they resolutely told me that. we can make nano stuff, and will make a lot of progress on many fronts in the near future, but with batteries we are not moving forward too fast.

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to MarcoIac
Hi, I just caught up on this discussion and I have been having the same problems.
Everything was working fine and then massive battery drain (went to bed with 100% charge woke up 15%) charge. I've done several things from turning off location services, to resetting the device to factory settings to resetting the network settings. (I just discovered this thread about deleting email accounts, I have two gmail accounts.) I have yet to try this solution.
However, the thing that confuses me is my Usage v standby time. As of right now I'm at 6 hrs 52 mins of usage and 7 hrs 41 mins on standby from my last full charge which was about 7am and my battery is at 46%.
The confusing part is I do not believe I have been using my iPhone for 6hrs and 52 mins. I would use it to check things here and there but was not constatnly on the device. (email is set to push) Any apps I use I usually sign out of them.
Any ideas what is causing the battery drain and usage v standby time problem?
I have a feeling the battery drain could be contributed to whatever is causing the usage time to be so high.
MarcoIac Feb 11, 2012 4:56 PM
Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to JMLong4
It's the usage time that explains the battery drain. It shows that some process is going on even when you are not using the phone. When that happens to me, I go to settings, turn off the gmail accounts (it's invariably them, in my case), then open mail, so that mail app knows that those accounts are shut down. Then I reboot. It generally works. That means that somehow mail.app was working in the background continuously. Not sure why it happens, but it's the most likely explanation of what's going on, at least in my case.

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to Richard Tench
After going several months just fine, suddenly my phone and my wife's phone started having serious battery life issues. We would have to charge them several times a day. In tried all the tips listed on literally hundreds of help pages to no avail. Finally I solved the problem for us at least. I started deleting apps one at a time and found the problem - an song-recognition app called "Sound Hound". After deleting this app we've gone several DAYS without needing to recharge our 4S iPhones.
First leson is to delete Sound Hound or any sililar app. The second takeaway is that there may be innocent-looking apps that cause a battery drain.

Re: Battery Life suddenly reduced in response to MarcoIac
I've deleted the gmail accounts and have done reset. I'm still losing battery power at an alarming rate (so I think) I'm going to let the battery drain, charge it and see how it performs. If not I dont know what to do besides slowly deleteing apps.
Is there any other way to determine which app is causing my drain?

Acton Director of Research Samuel Gregg continues his radio rounds today with an interview in support of his new book, Tea Party Catholic, on WOCA 96.3FM in Ocala Florida. You can hear his discussion on AM Ocala Live! via the audio player below:
The wide differences in economic freedom that we observe at the country level can exist at the subnational level as too (e.g., residents in Texas and Florida have greater economic freedom than those in California and New York). But until recently, there were no local indices comparable to the national and global rankings. In a recently published study for the Journal of Regional Analysis & Policy, Dean Stansel, professor of economics at Florida Gulf Coast University, shows that greater economic freedom in metropolitan areas corresponds to higher incomes and lower unemployment in these localities.
Here are the most and least free metro areas in America:
In this abridged version of the video series Economics for Everybody, R.C Sproul Jr. explains why it's important for Christians to understand economics. Economics Has Consequences pulls together some of the key aspects of the original series into one film, including introductions to such basic principles of economics as stewardship, civil government, work, wealth, and entrepreneurism. The second section explores the impact of government intervention on education, the money supply, welfare, depressions, markets, and more.
The video shows why economic freedom is directly related to religious freedom, and that the loss of one inevitably leads to the loss of the other.
Sojourners' Jim Wallis has been at the Davos gathering in Switzerland and is urging us to be guided by a new Davos "covenant." If you've never heard of Davos, Michael Miller's RealClear Politics piece "Davos Capitalism" describes the gathering and its unassailable hubris this way:
Davos capitalism, a managerial capitalism run by an enlightened elite–politicians, business leaders, technology gurus, bureaucrats, academics, and celebrities–all gathered together trying to make the economic world smarter or more humane…. And we looked up to Davos Man. Who wouldn't be impressed by the gatherings at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum at Davos, a Swiss ski resort? Sharply dressed, eloquent, rich, famous, Republican, Democrat, Tory, Labour, Conservative, Socialist, highly connected, powerful and ever so bright.
Then, when the whole managerial economy collapsed, the managers and technocrats lost faith in markets. But they did not lose faith in themselves, and now they want us to entrust even more of the economy to them.
As if on cue, Jim Wallis writes in a recent public letter:
This week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, we are looking to the future and asking "what now?" At a Saturday session — "The Moral Economy: From Social Contract to Social Covenant" — a document will kick off a year-long global conversation about a new "social covenant" between citizens, governments, and businesses.
Why dispense with the yeomen-like "contract" language in favor of a new "social covenant"? Wallis explains that "in the past 20 years, the world has witnessed the death of social contracts. We have seen a massive breakdown in trust between citizens, their economies, and their governments…. Former assumptions and shared notions about fairness, agreements, reciprocity, mutual benefits, social values, and expected futures have all but disappeared. The collapse of financial systems and the resulting economic crisis not only have caused instability, insecurity, and human pain; they have also generated a growing disbelief and fundamental distrust in the way things operate and how decisions are made." (more…)
There are more people living in the city of Los Angeles than live in New Zealand. Yet the small country in Oceania beats out the the U.S. in several key areas, such as on the production of movies about hobbits, ratio of sheep to humans (9 to 1), and . . . economic freedom.
And the Kiwis aren't the only ones. Australia, Canada, Switzerland, and six other countries have more freedom to control their own labor and property than we do. According to the Index of Economic Freedom, an annual report released by The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation, the United States has continued it's half-decade of decline:
Registering a loss of economic freedom for the fifth consecutive year, the U.S. has recorded its lowest Index score since 2000. Dynamic entrepreneurial growth is stifled by ever-more-bloated government and a trend toward cronyism that erodes the rule of law. More than three years after the end of recession in June 2009, the U.S. continues to suffer from policy choices that have led to the slowest recovery in 70 years. Businesses remain in a holding pattern, and unemployment is close to 8 percent. Prospects for greater fiscal freedom are uncertain due to the scheduled expiration of previous cuts in income and payroll taxes and the imposition of new taxes associated with the 2010 health care law.
Restoring the U.S. to a place among the world's "free" economies will require significant policy reforms, particularly in reducing the size of government, overhauling the tax system, transforming costly entitlement programs, and streamlining regulations.
Still, there are 134 countries that are even less free. So while we're not free as folks in Denmark or Chile, we're not as bad off as Cubans or North Koreans either. I guess that's something to be thankful for.
What is a Right to Work law?
Right to Work laws are state laws that guarantee a person cannot be compelled to join or pay dues to a labor union as a condition of employment.
Why are Right to Work laws considered a matter of economic freedom?
Economic freedom exists when people have the liberty to produce, trade, and consume legitimate goods and services that are acquired without the use of force, fraud, or theft. Mandatory unionism violates a person's economic freedom since it forces them to pay a portion of their income, as a condition of employment, to a third-party representative—even if they disagree with the aims, goals, or principles of the representative group.
What's wrong with being forced to pay for union representation?
On Nov. 28, the Canada-based Fraser Institute released the eighth edition of its annual report, Economic Freedom of North America 2012, in which the respective economic situation and government regulatory factors present in the states and provinces of North America were gauged.
Global studies of economic freedom, such as the Heritage Foundation's 2012 Index of Economic Freedom and the Fraser Institute's Economic Freedom of the World 2012, rank the United States and Canada as two of the most economically free countries in the world. But, as data from the North America report shows, not all sections of the countries are experiencing an equal level of economic freedom and it is important to look at areas in which this falters.
States and provinces were evaluated and ranked within three categories: 1) Size of Government; 2) Takings and Discriminatory Taxation; and 3) Labor Market Freedom. The Canadian province, Alberta, claimed the top spot as most economically free, followed closely by Delaware. New Mexico placed 59th, making it the least economically free state, followed by Prince Edward Island of Canada, notching the rank of least economically free area in North America (between the United States and Canada).
The Economic Freedom of North America 2012 report draws a clear link between prosperity and economic freedom, through a comparison of states and provinces. "In the United States, the relatively free Georgia does much better than the relatively unfree West Virginia. In Canada, British Columbia, where economic freedom has been increasing in recent years, has been experiencing considerably greater growth on a per-capita basis than Ontario, where economic freedom has been decreasing in recent years." (more…)
At some point in tonight's foreign policy debate between the two presidential candidates, Governor Mitt Romney should send his very capable inner wonk on a long coffee break and press a big-picture truth that otherwise will go begging: America's strength on the international stage requires economic strength, and our economic strength cannot long endure under the weight of a government so swollen in size that it stifles human enterprise.
The connection between economic freedom and economic growth is well-established. The connection between the relative strength of a nation's economy and its strength on the international stage is also well established.
There are a lot of reasons for this, but it's maybe easiest to grasp by thinking about technology. Our strength rests partly on our position as a technology leader, which allows our military to do more with less. But we're unlikely to maintain that position of leadership if our government habitually suffocates our high-tech entrepreneurs under high taxes and hyper-regulation.
"Scandinavian economies are some of the most market-oriented on the planet" says economist Scott Sumner, who adds "Denmark is the most market-oriented country on earth."
This peculiar claim is even more curious considering that it is based on the Heritage Foundation's 2012 Index of Economic Freedom. On the Heritage Index, which ranks countries based on ten components of economic freedom, the United States comes in at #10, lumped in with the "mostly free" countries. All of the Scandinavian countries are lower on the list: Denmark (#11), the Netherlands (#15), Finland (#17), Sweden (#21), Iceland (#27), and Norway (#40).
Each of these countries are considered "less free" on Heritage's Index than such nations as the U.S., Canada, and Chile, mostly because they have high levels of wealth redistribution. But Sumners thinks that the "size of government and degree of market freedom" are "two completely separate issues."
The inimitable Bryan Caplan explains why Sumners is wrong and why size of government and economic freedom are inextricably connected:
At least Obamacare comes at us head on. The greater legislative threat may be the one that most Americans have never heard of. Economist Scott Powell and Acton friend Jay Richards explain in a new piece in Barron's:
While Obamacare received more attention, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, also known as Dodd-Frank after its Senate and House sponsors, … unleashed a new regulatory body, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to operate with unprecedented power.
Dodd-Frank became law in 2010 and is supposed to avert the next financial crisis. Yet banks are still too big to fail and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain wards of the state, while the CFPB has been given sweeping authority over consumer credit and other financial products and services that played no significant role in the crisis of 2008.
Powell and Richards then offer some specifics:

With the new inputs, the researchers ran their simulations, which consider plant uptake, soil and ocean absorption, human-made emissions and how the gases flow through these systems. The simulations showed that the magnitude of the plant uptake was much larger than other sources and sinks at a continental scale during the growing season, which is important for using the compound to trace photosynthesis.
"The intriguing outcome of this study is that an inverse analysis of the atmospheric carbonyl sulfide measurements may be used to quantify the carbon released during plant respiration," remarked Berry. "That key missing piece has been a thorn in the side of carbon-cycle research for years."

A few years ago I went to my optometrist. On hearing I was a librarian, she asked me a fiction reader's-advisory question. Of course, I'm not a public librarian, or a reference librarian either. Rather than try to explain that to my optometrist, however, I went along with her assumptions about what librarians do by recommending a recent read. It isn't just optometrists who have narrow notions of what this field encompasses; too often our own notions are barely any broader. This worries me, not least because it doesn't reflect the variety and opportunity I see in the information professions.
A Specialist Profession, or a Profession of Specialists? | Peer to Peer Review
Privilege in the Framework | Peer to Peer Review
Now that the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education is finished, I finally got around to reading it. I was often critical of parts of the information literacy standards, but haven't found much to criticize about the "Framework," although I know others have. Most of the "threshold concepts" are things I've been talking about with students for years, so there's little in it that seems particularly new, except thinking of such ideas as threshold concepts. There was one thing that surprised me, though: the recognition of various forms of privilege.
CC BY and Its Discontents—A Growing Challenge for Open Access | Peer to Peer Review
Recently I attended the conference of a major learned society in the humanities. I was only there for a day, and attended only two sessions: one as a panelist and the other as an observer. Both sessions dealt with issues related to Open Access (OA), and in both of them I was deeply taken aback by the degree to which the scholars in attendance—not universally, but by an overwhelming majority—expressed frustration and even outright anger at the OA community. The word "predatory" was actually used at one point—not in reference to rapacious publishers, but to OA advocates. That was pretty shocking.
Can We Strengthen Our Fragile Public Domain? | Peer to Peer Review
Each year the copyright community celebrates January 1 as "Public Domain Day." That is because a convenient fiction included in most nations' copyright laws says that if a work's term of protection expired during the previous year, it officially enters the public domain on the following January 1st. Instead of having to figure out the exact day of an author's death, and having different works enter the public domain each day, we just save them all up, so that all the works whose term expired in 2014 (i.e., all works whose authors died 70 years earlier, in 1944) entered the public domain on New Year's Day 2015. At least, they did in most other countries, but not in the U.S.
MARC, Linked Data, and Human-Computer Asymmetry | Peer to Peer Review
I had to put together the introductory lecture for my "XML and Linked Data" course early this time around, because I'll be out of town for the first class meeting owing to a service obligation. Since I'm starting with linked data instead of XML this time, I found myself having to think harder about the question nearly every student carries into nearly every first-class meeting: "why should I be here?" Why, among all the umpty-billion things a library school could be teaching, teach linked data? Why does it matter?
All or Nothing | Peer to Peer Review
After three columns in a row about the ebook situation for libraries, I thought I was finished with the discussion, but then I got an email from an ebook vendor. He pointed out that his ebook publishing platform did all the things I had said I wanted from library ebooks, and asked, very politely, why, then, hadn't my library bought any of them? Here is my answer. It probably doesn't apply to every library, but it applies to some of them, especially some of the larger ones.
Do Libraries Change the World? Should They? Short Answer: Yes | Peer to Peer Review
For the sake of argument, let's all agree that the answer to this question is yes: libraries have a central mission to change the world—to make it a better, more intelligent, more tolerant, more open-minded place, one that is (thanks in part to our professional efforts) increasingly filled with well-informed critical thinkers who will, themselves, take the tools and skills with which the library has provided them and go on to make the world even better. This is what the library exists to do.
Recognizing My Library Heroes of 2014 | Peer to Peer Review
It's been a rough year for the planet. It's been a rough year for the country. It's been a rough year for libraries. We face a lot of problems that are complex and scary and it's easier to name them than to figure out what to do next. But when I look back on 2014 I see some amazing people doing the things that we librarians profess as our core values. Since there's something about years coming to an end that leads to lists and resolutions, I thought I'd look back and give a shout out to a few of the librarians who have taken difficult situations and made courageous, difficult, affirming choices. These are just some of the many librarians who make me proud to be in this profession.
Making Creative Copyright Law | Peer to Peer Review
Beaten Before We Start | Peer to Peer Review
I don't call myself a futurist, though I do find enjoyment and sometimes enlightenment in watching what's going on in the world and trying to extrapolate toward what academic libraries might want to do about it. I also harbor a strong love for examples of novel services and fresh ideas about longstanding services, though I'm old and scarred enough not to take them quite at face value—there's almost always struggle and conflict behind the scenes that does not get aired in order to keep the peace among librarian colleagues.

Re: Star Trek: Lambda Paz
Chapter Two
No one answered Markaliss page.
The strange man grinned. "We don't want any interruptions, do we?" he quipped. "You act like I just saw you coming out of the shower."
"If you're with who I think you're with, you keep track of that sort of thing to some degree, so you're still a pervert."
The man chuckled. "You're halfway there," he said with a smirk. "I am with Section 31 and the name is Cole." He stood up and sauntered into the living area.
Markalis followed, putting on a white silk robe over her sleeveless gray tank and gray sweatpants. She slipped her bare feet into a pair of pink slippers. Before sitting in a chair across from Cole, she replicated a mug of coffee. So what does Section 31 want with a simple country doctor? she demanded, taking a slow sip of coffee.
What have you been able to learn about the crew of the Epsilon Trianguli listening post? Cole asked.
All of them died because their hemoglobin dissolved. Based on the autopsies, this was caused by a virus. The EMH is crosschecking with our medical databases. He hasnt found anything yet.
But one survived, and he is recovering in your sickbay.
Thats right. You already seem to know a lot about whats been happening on this ship the last twenty-four hours.
Cole snickered. Thats true, he stated. Im here for some information that will help in my investigation. Why was this one survivor immune to what killed the others?
We dont know that either.
Any theories, hypotheses?
That he had some kind of genetic immunity.
Possibly because he was genetically enhanced, allowing for accelerated critical neural pathway formation, improved lung and respiratory efficiency
Yes, he was conscious a lot longer than most humans would be with life support being off-line for as long as it was. Are you going to play twenty questions all night?
Let me let you in on a little secret. The Dominion was not responsible for those deaths. The listening post was a proving ground. If the other powers were to learn that a group of humans possess a biological weapon, the ramifications would be disastrous. We need to do damage control. Have you made out your full report to your captain?
Markalis sighed anxiously. Finally, she would know the catch behind this unannounced debriefing, and she wasnt sure she was going to like it. I may not always be able to pick up on non-verbal cues or deduce hidden messages, she said, but Im getting a good idea about what you are asking of me.
Enlighten me then, Cole replied, grinning deviously.
You expect me to lie to my commanding officer, falsify my medical logs, and impede an investigation into a potential threat to the security of the Federation.
In a nutshell, yes, Cole replied, standing up and sauntering towards the door. Those acts might jeopardize your Starfleet career, but those acts are only sins of the system, unlike, say, murdering a sentient being.
Markalis was reminded of when she was forced to shoot and kill a JemHadar. That act saved her own life, but it also marked the first time she had taken a life. That was something that still haunted her. She turned herself to her left to face Cole. How do you know about that? she asked.
Very little escapes our attention, Cole stated. Despite your reluctance, your willingness to hear me out indicates what Im saying makes sense on a subconscious level. I know of your interest in interstellar politics. After Earths second world war four hundred years ago, the major powers tried to no avail to put the genie back in the bottle. That and the Augment Crisis of 2154.
Cole stepped out of the crew quarters after the doors parted and walked away. Markalis was suddenly felt a rush of anxiety over this newest crisis of conscience. She walked to the bedroom and removed a miniature hypospray from a drawer under the nightstand. She injected the contents into her left wrist, and then lay back on the bed. Milady strutted towards her master, jumped onto the bed, and rested her chin on Aurellans right forearm. She arched her head to the right to stroke the dogs snout.
The following morning, Aurellan called a security team to her quarters to conduct close-range scans in search of evidence of a transporter beam. Two human security officers used interphasic scanners to scan the bedroom while Morrison scanned the living area with a tricorder and interphasic scanner. Markalis stood by the desk in the front right corner while the EMH scanned her with a medical tricorder. Limis observed while waiting for the other officers to report.
Nothing out of the ordinary aside from elevated adrenaline levels, the holographic doctor reported. Thats to be expected when Big Brother pays an unexpected visit.
Thank you anyway, Doctor, Markalis timidly replied.
The EMH then set the medical tricorder down on the desk and ordered the computer to transfer himself back to sickbay.
Ensign Calliope Morales walked over to the security chief to report. I read no evidence of anyone having beamed in or out, said the petite woman of mixed Latin American and African ancestry. He certainly covers his tracks well since the security logs indicate no intruders in the last twelve hours.
Then Im sure they have transporter technology we cant detect, Morrison replied. Perhaps its something like Dominion transporters or folded space transport.
That kind of transport has deadly side effects, said Markalis.
This agency hasnt been around that long without an effective means of stealth transport, Limis offered. To Morales and Morrison, and the male security ensign, she said, If you dont mind, Id like a few minutes with the doctor.
The security officers stepped out of the quarters. Limis sighed as she paced across the room. She stared out of the viewport remembering her first encounter with an organization that went against the very principles on which the Federation was founded. Markalis was uncertain why Limis was looking out a window rather than speaking to her, as claimed.
Captain? she said with confusion.
Limis turned to face Markalis. I learned of this rogue agency fourteen years ago, she said, Article Fourteen, Section Thirty-One could be interpreted in many ways. In times of crisis, even the Federation needs to take extraordinary measures. Im proof of that. That Starfleet actually sanctions an organization that operates in the same manner as the Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar is one reason for my skepticism. But unlike Bek Gillen, I dont use that as an excuse for fear mongering.
What are you getting at? Markalis impatiently demanded.
I want you to go along with Coles request. Did he say who has this biological weapon?
Only that a group of humans used Epsilon Trianguli as a proving ground.
Even Section 31 finds that unacceptable, and I can see wanting to keep this secret as long as possible. After all, the Federation does not engage in biological warfare.
Just remember, Doctor, Limis continued, heading for the door, dont be too quick to volunteer information. That way you wont leave too many clues that youre on our side.
But I am on your side, Captain. I promise you that.
You shouldnt let him think that.
Markalis let out an anxious sigh. This special assignment just got more complicated.
Upon the
Lambda Paz
s return to Starbase G-6, Limis appeared at a briefing with the station commander Christopher Dennings and the captains of other ships in the Seventh Fleet. The briefing was held in one of the holosuites in order to communicate with ship captains not physically on the station. Limis never saw the point of that other than making teleconferences seem less impersonal. Starfleet engineers seemed to love showing off technological innovations. The holographic representations of nearly a dozen different Starfleet captains were so perfect she could not distinguish who was really in the room from who was a projection.
Of course, Lieutenant Commander Selek, a Vulcan who had previously served as the
Lambda Paz
s night watch duty officer and Limiss former Bajoran Resistance colleague Lenaris Holem were really there since she saw them out in the hallway. Despite not always being a fan of Starfleet, Limis thought she and Lenaris looked better in Starfleet uniforms. Among the non-Starfleet officers were Klingon General Ghralg, Romulan Star Navy admiral Temlek, and Deep Space Nines resident Cardassian Elim Garak.
Rear Admiral Edward Jellico, commanding the
, addressed the group to deliver updates on his reconnaissance mission. A three dimensional holographic display appeared in front of the holographic projection of the admiral. As you can see, said Jellico, indicating the Starfleet deltas that filled the display, our forces continue to hold the line at the Tibor Nebula.
Werent most of our ships there decimated during the first engagement? Lenaris said of the initial confrontation shortly after the invasion of Betazed.
That engagement also came at a heavy cost for the Dominion, Selek explained. Their efforts to fortify the supply line from Kalandra through the Beta Veldonna system continue to be curtailed.
From these reports, Vice-Admiral Dennings chimed in, looking up from a padd, I see that the outermost systems at Kalandra are defended only by Cardassian warships.
Using them as cannon fodder is becoming a more common strategy, Garak answered. It is an ideal cover for seeking retaliation for my peoples attack on the Founders homeworld.
A dishonorable motive in any case, Ghralg growled.
So why would the Cardassians go along with it? Limis wondered trying to ignore Dennings staring at her. She could see why the portly man with graying hair had been married four times with his propensity for leering at women thirty years his junior.
As much as they are realizing the emptiness of the Dominions promises, Garak explained, the military also sees that the price of losing the war is too high.
It is also a classic strategy of unpredictability, Temlek added. The enemy expects that we would go after the easier target while the JemHadar continue to fortify their own holdings.
Something the Romulans know all about,
Ghralg silently thought.
At the very least, it would keep the Cardassians on the defensive while my task force continues pouring deeper into the sector, Jellico replied. The holographic display zoomed in towards the two star systems Jellico pointed to. Thats where the
Lambda Paz
, the
, and the
come in. Those ships will occupy the Cardassian flank in the Chudala system and the Amducro field.
The ion storms in that system may pose a problem, Temlek observed, looking up from his briefing padd. They could counteract the masking effect of Klingon cloaking devices. I would suggest a Romulan task force to conduct the preliminary patrols.
Our analysis of the ion storms did not yield such conclusions, Ghralg insisted.
Fortunately, Temlek shot back, our scientists are more thorough.
Or you
would try to take most of the credit.
Gentlemen, Dennings cut in, lets try to keep a united front. You can work out these little issues yourselves. If that is all, I wish every one of you Godspeed.
Jellico and the other holographic projections quickly disappeared. The crowd dispersed. Limis did not see anyone enter with a few people filing out. But someone who was not part of the meeting was conversing with Lenaris, most likely his new first officer. Despite initial plans to have a mostly Bajoran crew on the
, Starfleet Intelligence wanted one of its operatives aboard after Lenariss former second-in-command attempted to deal a crippling blow to the Alliance out of the misguided that it would lead to a less destructive end to the war.
Lenaris gave Limis a quick wave. The human also looked in her direction. He seemed familiar, even fitting Markaliss description of Agent Cole well over six feet tall, burly, athletic upper body, and a scowling facial expression. Or maybe he wasnt Cole since Limis hadnt met the man in person.
Outside the starbase, larger numbers of Federation, Klingon, and Romulan ships continued massing. On most days, a few dozen heavy cruisers, light frigates, medical transports, and tow ships were moored at the station. Today, over a hundred ships were situated in the general vicinity of the starbase in preparation for one of the most important offensives of the entire war.

VIENNA, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Teva Respiratory, a division of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: TEVA), today announced results from an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of three different inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) in a "real-life" asthmatic population. The study found QVAR(R) (beclomethasone dipropionate HFA), an ICS that is able to effectively treat both large and small airway inflammation, to be on average more effective than CFC-beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) and fluticasone propionate (FP), and intermediary in cost between the two. This "real-life" study followed more than 4,000 asthma patients in the UK for 12 months, and data was presented at the European Respiratory Society's Annual Congress in Vienna, Austria.
Several short-term, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated that QVAR(R) and other ICS therapies, including CFC-BDP and FP metered dose inhalers (pMDI), are efficacious. This year-long "real-life" study was designed to assess the cost-effectiveness of QVAR(R) compared to other ICS therapies in patients identified from the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD), the world's largest primary care computerized database of anonymized longitudinal medical records. This "real-life" analysis showed that the choice of ICS may impact overall asthma control in the real world, including asthma exacerbation rates.
"ICSs are considered the most effective anti-inflammatory therapy for persistent asthma and are the preferred treatment for initiating maintenance therapy. However, the cost of ICS therapy can be quite high," said David Price, GPAG professor of primary care medicine, University of Aberdeen's Center of Academic Care and lead investigator of the study. "QVAR(R) was on average more cost-effective than fluticasone, and more eff

Jennifer Lawrence still not over last year's Oscars fall
Jennifer Lawrence has still not been able to dismiss the thought of her Oscars fall in 2013 from her mind.
The 23-year-old actress had tripped over while she was going to receive her Academy Award for best actress, ABC News reported.
In talking with Dior, which happens to be the dress she wore to the 2013 Oscars, she said that she did have very special memories of the dress she wore to the Oscars, of which some were fun, and some not.

Comments about SKB Soft Case for 76-Note Keyboard:
When searching for a lightweight semi-rigid case to transport my Yamaha CP4 Stage Piano, I ran across this case. The interior measurements met my requirements, albeit a tight fit. I was excited to find an inexpensive, lightweight rolling alternative to a lugging around my piano in a heavy road case. The case's interior padding seemed adequate enough; however, I was a little disappointed with the soft top...I'd have to be careful not to place anything heavy on top when loading in the car. When I arrived at the gig, I noticed that as it was rolling, the bottom of the case was dragging the ground under the weight of the piano. Then, when pulling the piano from the case, the padding underneath the piano came unglued from the plywood bottom. End result - this case wasn't going to work for me and I have since returned it in exchange for the Yamaha CP Stage soft case. (Thanks MF, you guys are awesome to work with) I'm optimistic that the SKB case would work well with a lighter keyboard. I would also hope that the padding coming unglued was an exceptional defect in manufacturing. I have other SKB products that are of high quality and very well made. Bottom line, if your keyboard/piano weighs over 25lbs, this case may not be suitable. On the other hand, for lighter keyboards, I think it would work for you just fine.
