"Debunking the Debunkers: Yes, Obamacare Rate Shock is Real"
But then, that's only a problem because the great unwashed don't know what's best for them. That's Obama's job.
No, really. It's right there in the Constitution — or at least, it would be, were the old racist thing not such a flawed document, written by withered white men who knew little about sacrifice or creating a sense of community.

Someone should write a "Hide The Decline" anthem for these goofs to sing.
You know, my old individual plan, that I bought after searching around and listening to who knows how many agents who knew nothing about health insurance for who knows how many hours before finding one that fit my needs and my families needs and most importantly, pocketbook, was cancelled…
But that's because, it was terrible. I mean, what if at some point I wanted to have a sex change? I would have had to pay for it myself! Now I have a co-pay for my fake boobs and hormone shots. Not to mention the fact that it didn't cover contraception. I mean, I may already have had my wires snipped, but if my wife's screwing around, she'll need to get back on the pill. And she probably will have too, now that I have access to my own pair of tits. Infant care? covered! When I finally get my test-tube baby.
I'm so goddam tired, I think i'll give up. Like Donald Sutherland at the end of Body Snatchers, all you'll hear rom me is a hissing wail of bullshit talking points and excuses.
Eventually we'll have to clean up, repair what we can and realize that some things we liked, needed and cared for are gone forever, but that's what normally happens when you leave college kids in charge of the shop for a long weekend. The infuriating thing will be listening to the stories about how much fun and how cool it was while we were gone.

Oh wait, I forgot they've already got an Anthem. And a stirring bit of business it is, too.

Of course, if we had news media with a passing interest in such things, we'd have a story wondering why the doubling of medical costs in the form of premiums and deductibles for 100 million individually insured citizens (excluding those whose insurance comes from employers who are also suffering large increases across the board) was necessary to bring only 30 million or so new people into the system.

So when the House ended the payroll tax holiday, Papa Jugears started a whole fucking Twitter campaign about how unfair it was to deny people their #40dollars:
"Opponents of the payroll tax cut dismiss its impact by insisting $40 isn't a lot of money," David Plouffe, a senior White House adviser wrote in an email to supporters, "but that's not the case for many families who are already working hard to make ends meet. Forty dollars buys a tank of gas or a fridge and pantry full of groceries. It covers a water bill or the cost of a prescription."
Today, we're told that people whose insurance is going up by "only $40 a month!" should be happy that they're getting such a good deal. "You can go to the doctor as many times as you like, instead of just twice a year!"
Guess what, dipshit? I only go to the doctor about once every three or four years, so the old plan was already more than twice as much coverage as I want. In what world does it make sense for me to waste my hard-earned beer money on doctor's visits I don't want to make?
Hangin's too good for these assholes. I'm a generous guy, though, so I'd still be willing to help build the scaffold.

With so many people going for Medicaid/Medicare someone might kind of wonder why the just didn't just expand those programs to begin with. It may have been expensive but, at least it would not have torn the country apart.
leigh says October 31, 2013 at 1:36 pm
I'm sticking to my original position that your health care isn't my responsibility and vice versa.
Forty dollars buys a tank of gas
There was a time when I could have filled my tank with $40 worth of gas, but it's been a while.
Squid says October 31, 2013 at 1:41 pm
It may have been expensive but, at least it would not have torn the country apart.
I think a legitimate argument could be made that the White House/Chicago Syndicate was counting on this to drive the country apart. Divide and conquer, right? What has them shitting their britches at the moment is that this little scheme is threatening to unite the country in a way the Syndicate never envisioned.
And if you think this is fun, just wait 'til the one-year delay expires and everyone with company-provided insurance sees what happens when their plans are forced to comply with ObamaCare rules…
bgbear says October 31, 2013 at 1:43 pm
With $40 you can buy some hose and a 5 gallon fuel container and steal your neighbors' gas.
sdferr says October 31, 2013 at 1:50 pm
Exactly the teaching of the ClownDisasterCare endsjustifymeans mash-up, bgbear, albeit with a potential for far more significantly dangerous consequences should the neighbor happen along.

You've left out the best part, Sherm: Them 30 million poor, uninsured rubes? There will STILL be at least 30 million uninsured rubes ten years out from now. I want the Jugeared One and Harridan of the House Nancy Pelosi to explain THAT one.
Drumwaster says October 31, 2013 at 2:03 pm
That's right up there with defining "poor" as "lowest quintile of income", then acting surprised when it continues to hover at about 20% of the population. "We just need to tax the rich more!", because you make dwarfs taller by cutting everyone else off at the knees.
Blake says October 31, 2013 at 6:20 pm
Out of curiosity, I checked the rates my employer is paying for my wife and I. Since 2010, the cost of my policy has climbed about $275. Roughly 28% over the last 3 years.
The rate hike should be astounding in the next 12 months or so.
BGBear: Besty McCaughey argues in the video at the link that 'Obamacare was designed to push many people into Medicaid…because it's a single payer system'.
Pablo says October 31, 2013 at 8:07 pm

WaPo, of all places.
newrouter says October 31, 2013 at 8:21 pm
Let us take note: if the greengrocer had been instructed to display the slogan "I am afraid and therefore unquestioningly obedient;' he would not be nearly as indifferent to its semantics, even though the statement would reflect the truth. The greengrocer would be embarrassed and ashamed to put such an unequivocal statement of his own degradation in the shop window, and quite naturally so, for he is a human being and thus has a sense of his own dignity. To overcome this complication, his expression of loyalty must take the form of a sign which, at least on its textual surface, indicates a level of disinterested conviction. It must allow the greengrocer to say, "What's wrong with the workers of the world uniting?" Thus the sign helps the greengrocer to conceal from himself the low foundations of his obedience, at the same time concealing the low foundations of power. It hides them behind the facade of something high. And that something is ideology.
{8}Ideology is a specious way of relating to the world. It offers human beings the illusion of an identity, of dignity, and of morality while making it easier for them to part with them. As the repository of something suprapersonal and objective, it enables people to deceive their conscience and conceal their true position and their inglorious modus vivendi, both from the world and from themselves. It is a very pragmatic but, at the same time, an apparently dignified way of legitimizing what is above, below, and on either side. It is directed toward people and toward God. It is a veil behind which human beings can hide their own fallen existence, their trivialization, and their adaptation to the status quo. It is an excuse that everyone can use, from the greengrocer, who conceals his fear of losing his job behind an alleged interest in the unification of the workers of the world, to the highest functionary, whose interest in staying in power can be cloaked in phrases about service to the working class. The primary excusatory function of ideology, therefore, is to provide people, both as victims and pillars of the post-totalitarian system, with the illusion that the system is in harmony with the human order and the order of the universe. . . .
{9}The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.
Neo says November 1, 2013 at 12:17 am
I'm willing to believe that perhaps the President didn't know the details, but to have the HHS Secretary go to Capitol Hill with the same "Sargent Schultz defense" is beyond reason. "Whatever" .. OMG
There was no requirement by the text of the ACA to rollout healthcare.gov on Oct 1st, but somebody let it go online anyway, knowing it was "unstable." They did the POTUS no favor.
Then Obama goes into this defense blaming Mitt Romney and the Heritage Foundation for coming up with the idea. Mitt Romney did it a hell of a lot better than Team Obama. It looked like the boy who claimed his dog ate his homework, not the "Leader of the Free World."
The defense of the "if you like your insurance, you can keep it" is just an exercise in pure unadulterated prevarication. Blaming the insurance companies. Cue the boy who claimed his dog ate his homework, yet again.
The childish reaction of this President is beyond partisan politics. The man is a failure, a lair, incompetent, and shows no ability to actually lead. Perhaps Democrats will feel the shame that Republicans felt with Richard Nixon, but I doubt it.
Democrats feeling shame? Not going to happen, Neo. About the only thing they'd feel anything remotely resembling shame over is doing something that would cause their side to lose power.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- A City Sheriff's Deputy shot and killed a pit bull that was threatening him.
Sheriff Jim Murphy said the deputy was walking out of his own home in the 4700 block of Michigan Monday morning when two unleashed pi t bulls approached him in what he considered to be a threatening manner.
Murphy said the deputy shot one of them and the other dog ran back to its yard.
Neither dog had a record of proper shots and vaccinations.
The City Animal Control Department will take custody of the surviving dog.
He said lots of witnesses supported the story given by the deputy.

I want to capture a window as a png from within a bash script, using the window's ID. In this case, the window is the top panel. Using
gnome-screenshot the colours are true, as per this image... (this image is not the same size as the following image, so ignore the dark line at the bottom)
However when I capture the panel via
import, or
xwd +
convert, I get the following image..
Why would I be getting this colour aberration?
import and
convert both belong to the
imagemagick package...
I haven't found anything else in the Ubuntu repository which can capture a window by its ID... so I'm stuck. (
gnome-screenshot doesn't have the feature)...
It would be nice to know what is going on here (eg, is is something to do with transparent images, which I know very little about)...but in any case, just a recommendation of a workaround capture utility may do the trick ... it must be able to capture a window by it's ID.
Here is an example of how I make and view the image capture.
import -window "$(wmctrl -l |grep "Top Expanded Edge Panel" |awk '{print $1}')" screen.png
display screen.png

text: export credit financing is a critical tool for boosting U.S. exports, boosting U.S. job growth, narrowing the trade deficit, and revitalizing the U.S. economy. Yet some have argued that the United States should unilaterally abandon export credit financing activities on the principle that it constitutes industrial policy or government picking winners. Others fret because they don't like the fact that Beijing's aggressive embrace of export credit financing is setting the terms and pace of global export financing policy—though it does. This would be akin to saying during the Cold War, "to let Moscow set the terms and pace of military spending in the United States is foolhardy at best." Would anyone say that it's okay and prudent to let China (or Russia before it) outinvest the United States in defense expenditures, moreover to unilaterally abandon our investment in a sound defense? But that's exactly what those who advocate for the United States to unilaterally abandon the use of export credit financing activities are calling for. The simple reality is that America's economic competitors are in the game to win and if the United States unilaterally disarms the U.S. Ex-Im Bank, the only result will be fewer U.S. exports and the jobs dependent on them.

Apolipoprotein E Genotyping
This is a test used to check for an inherited component to atherosclerosis. This means it checks your DNA or genetic likelihood of having premature hardening of your arteries. It is also used to help make treatment decisions in individuals with cardiovascular disease. It is used as an aid in the diagnosis of probable late onset Alzheimer's disease in a symptomatic adult, or to help confirm a diagnosis of Type 3 hyperlipoproteinemia (also known as familial dysbetalipoproteinemia).
If your doctor suspects that you have an inherited component to your high cholesterol and triglyceride levels or if you have xanthomas (yellowish lesions) on your skin, if you have progressive symptoms of dementia and your doctor wants to determine the likelihood that this is due to Alzheimer's disease.
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm.
ApoE e3 has "normal" lipid metabolism, thus no genotype impact. If you do not have e4 alleles and your ApoE test is negative, you will have no likelihood of developing premature atherosclerosis.
Ranges for normal findings may vary among different laboratories and hospitals. You should always check with your doctor after having lab work or other tests done to discuss the meaning of your test results and whether your values are considered within normal limits.
Your caregiver will go over the test results with you and discuss the importance and meaning of your results, as well as treatment options and the need for additional tests if necessary.
It is your responsibility to obtain your test results. Ask the lab or department performing the test when and how you will get your results.

City commissioners voted unanimously to hire David Barnes as the permanent police chief for the city.
Barnes took over as acting chief 16 months ago when former chief Sam Slay stepped down.
After Monday night's vote, Barnes says he's pleased Springfield commissioners had the confidence in him to name him the permanent chief.
He says he's looking forward to building new and better relationships with the citizens, the commissioners and the county's other agencies, to get the job done and make Springfield a safer place.
Barnes also says he plans to keep the chief's job until he retires, which he hopes will be many years from now.

Bembridge railway stationBembridge was the terminus [1] of the 2¾ mile branch line that connected it to the main line at Brading[2]. On holiday Saturdays the sector table revolved continuously because the station area was too small to contain points[3]. Opened in 1882, when the area contained the Island's main port[4], it ran with ever-dwindling passengers until 1953[5]. The station is long since demolished[6] and a new development (Harbour Strand) in place[7].
St Helens FortPeriodically (often in August) on one of the lowest tides of the year, there is a mass walk from St. Helen's beach out to the fort and back. At this day the causeway appears from the sea upon which the original materials were carried out from the shore at St Helen's Old Church, where there was formerly a quarry. Access is from this point, but also along the spit from Bembridge. It has become traditional to hold a barbecue on the beach thereafter. This event is entirely spontaneous but safety boat services are provided by local yacht clubs.
Priory WoodsPriory Woods (grid reference SZ635900) is a 2.94 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near the town of Bembridge, Isle of Wight, notified in 1998. It is a National Trust property and is served by a public footpath. Concealed within it is "The Priory Oyster" - an oyster bar attached to the Priory Bay Hotel and open only in the height of summer. It has significant recent archaeology with the remains of a sea wall and rusted iron railings. Numerous hand axes have been found in strata dated from 400,000 years ago, which would indicate their users were Neanderthals. The woods overlook Priory Bay and its private beach.
HavantThe old centre of the town is on a classic crossroad configuration, with the four streets being named North Street, East Street, South Street and West Street, and St Faith's church at the crossing. At least one axis (and evidence suggests both) is a known Roman road.
Warblington railway station(It takes 1 hour 31 minutes to reach London Waterloo by taking the train towards Southampton and changing onto a London-Portsmouth express at Havant.)

By dynamically varying CPU speed and voltage, it is possible to save significant amounts of energy while still meeting prespecified soft or hard deadlines for tasks; numerous algorithms have been published with this goal. We show that it is possible to modify any voltage scaling algorithm to minimize energy use without affecting perceived performance and present a formula to do so optimally. Because this formula specifies increased speed as the task progresses, we call this approach PACE (Processor Acceleration to Conserve Energy). This optimal formula depends on the probability distribution of the task's work requirement and requires that the speed be varied continuously. We therefore present methods for estimating the task work distribution and evaluate how effective they are on a variety of real workloads. We also show how to approximate the optimal continuous schedule with one that changes speed a limited number of times. Using these methods, we find we can apply PACE practically and efficiently. Furthermore, PACE is extremely effective: Simulations using real workloads and the standard model for energy consumption as a function of voltage show that PACE can reduce the CPU energy consumption of existing algorithms by up to 49.5 percent, with an average of 20.6 percent, without any effect on perceived performance. The consequent PACE-modified algorithms reduce CPU energy consumption by an average of 65.4 percent relative to no dynamic voltage scaling, as opposed to only 54.3 percent without PACE.

The Biggs Branch of the Butte County Library now features a storytime and art activity every 3rd Saturday of the month. Last Saturday we read the book Clara Caterpillar by Pamela Duncan.
Before reading the book we talked about how there are lots of interesting words in the story and that a lot of those words start with the letter "C". As we read the story the family followed along with their own copy provided by the library.
We put out chalk boards and chalk and printouts of some complex vocabulary that children could practice writing.
After we finished the story we were able to give a copy of the book for the family to take home thanks to our Yearn to Learn grant through the State Library of California which also provided our supplies.
Then we made kites and visors using the letter "C".

San Antonio, TX – Karl Nicholas, a 63-year-old elementary teacher in the San Antonio Independent School District, was arrested and charged on Thursday with knowingly causing injury to a child, a third-degree felony.
According to the arrest warrant, Nicholas allegedly stuck the girl around 1:45pm Monday.
Nicholas, who has been put on administrative leave from Stewart Elementary School pending the results of the criminal investigation, admitted to the principal, after other students were interviewed, that he slapped a disruptive 9-year-old student in his third-grade class.
According to My San Antonio, Nicholas refused to elaborate further about the incident, simply saying he planned to resign because he knew he was going to jail.
Statements from the school showed Nicholas had called the main office of the school, requesting the girl be removed from his class as she had assaulted him and was behaving in a disorderly manner.
The young victim explained to authorities that she and another student sitting next to her got into a verbal exchange, telling one another to "shut up." When Nicholas approached the two he told the girl to leave the other student alone. She tried to elaborate on who started the squabble.
The girl then dropped a pencil and when she retrieved it from the floor she accidentally struck Nicholas on the hand. She tried to apologize.
Nicholas countered by slapping her in the face and grabbing her by the arm. He tried to drag her out of the classroom and told a passing counselor the child was being unruly. He asked the counselor to take the child to the office.
The girl's mother contacted authorities to report the incident.
Nicholas managed to post his $10,000 bail and was released Friday morning.
Per the Texas state penal code, statute 12.34, a third degree felony is a serious criminal charge that includes crimes such as third offense DWI's, intoxication assault, aggravated perjury, and bail jumping on a felony arrest.
If convicted on a third degree felony, the offender can be sentenced from two to 10 years in jail and face a fine up to $10,000.

Brandon Spann nets 16 points to lead the Green Wave against South Florida, Wednesday.
Jan 23, 2002
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane University shot just 39 percent from the free-throw line and South Florida held off the Green Wave for a 68-54 victory in Conference USA men's basketball action on Wednesday evening at Fogelman Arena.
"Not to take anything away from South Florida," Tulane head coach Shawn Finney said. "But anytime you are 9-of-23 from the free-throw line, it is a sign of a lack of focus."
Brandon Brown (Houma, La.) led Tulane (11-6, 3-3 Conference USA) with 12 points and 12 rebounds, his second consecutive double-double. However, his point total was over four below his average and he had just four points and three rebounds at the break. Brandon Spann (New Orleans, La.) scored 16 points.
"South Florida did an excellent job on Brandon," Finney said. "In the first half, he only got two shots. We couldn't get him going offensively."
The Green Wave trailed 50-38 after South Florida's B.B. Waldon scored inside with 15:31 to go. However, Tulane held South Florida (13-5, 4-2 C-USA) to just one field goal over the next 9:51. Unfortunately, in that time, the Wave managed only three field goals in the same time frame. Brown had the first hoop in the stretch, a monster rebound-dunk, and Spann followed with back-to-back three-pointers and the Wave was within five at 51-46 with 11:09 to go.
That was as close as Tulane could get to the Bulls, however. Mike Bernard hit a 17-footer from straightaway and Altron Jackson knocked down a pair of free throws and then dunked on a nifty baseline move to lift the margin back to 11 at 57-46.
Brown scored on a hook shot and then hit two-of-four foul shots, but Bernard had one free throw and a hook shot of his own following a Reggie Kohn drive to the hoop, making it 62-50 with 1:52 to go.
Two more baskets the rest of the way by the Wave were countered by four free throws by the Bulls, who connected on just 4-of-9 foul shots in the final 1:39.
In the first half, USF jumped out to an 18-8 lead, connecting on eight of their first 10 shots.
"They really came in and took it at us," Finney said. "We talked about it in the pregame, that coming out and taking it to them would be important. They got the first seven of their 11 points out of transition. We had to fight back and play from being down the whole game."
The Bulls built the lead to as many as 15 at 31-16, but a 13-3 Green Wave run was keyed by five points from Linton Johnson (Chicago, Ill.).
Jackson led South Florida with 17 points and seven rebounds, while B.B. Waldon added 15 points and six boards. Greg Brittain and Bernard also hit double figures with 11 and 10, respectively, while Kohn dished out a game-high nine assists.
The Green Wave travels to Birmingham this weekend, facing C-USA rival UAB on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tulane is back home on Tuesday evening (Jan. 29), hosting Marquette at 7 p.m.
Tickets for all Tulane home events are available by calling 504-861-WAVE, or by visiting the Green Wave box office at the Wilson Center.

Guruji Shrii Arnav-Vedic Guru, Cheif Consultant-astromandir.com
The best way to define Guruji Shrii Arnav would be as a Vedic Guru. However his aura and acclaim is not limited to the extensive Vedic knowledge or spiritual ambience that surrounds him. As a person with infinitesimal grasp of a wide array of Indian competency areas – be it astrology, numerology, gemology, Vaastu Shastra, tantra, mantra and beyond - he is the personification of a neo-modern guide and guru for the new millennium citizens – be it Indians or Non-Indians. Guruji Shrii Arnav is a true Guru, for the seekers of Dhyan Sadhana (Meditation techniques) and Mantra Sadhanas. While the term Vedic may have Hindu connotations – his applications and processes find people of varied religious relating with him quite easily.
Guruji Shrii Arnav has found international claim with a diligent list of followers who have been touched deeply by his abiding faith and ability to positively influence and affect their lives. The Guru helps people of all faith and backgrounds to seek answers and solutions to the most complex factors of their lives. He uses the knowledge and practice of the Vedas and other spiritual texts in association with the scientific factors of gemology, astrological charts, and his own spiritual capacity - to prove successfully the power of prayers and Vedic rituals and the influence of varied controlled factors that can positively effect every ones lives.
On the Vedic front – Guruji Shrii Arnav provides information and suggests appropriate activities based on the study of Vedic charts. The Vedic charts comprise of different chambers that control various facets of an individual's life. He not only assists people in understanding the present and past but also predicts the future and also the different aspects of their lives – be it related to relationships, businesses, health, etc. Going beyond predictions, Guruji Shrii Arnav suggests and undertakes sacred Vedic rites and rituals (Yagnas) that can enhance the positive parts of the chambers or deter the negative influences.
Yet even as he provides succour to very many people from all classes and backgrounds. Says the Guru – "My goal is to demystify the myths that hold back the ordinary individual from experiencing the powers of the spirituality. In my own way, I wish to break down the barriers of religious and spiritual ignorance and bring it closer to the new generation of Indians and non-Indians. I wish to help everyone – whether he is a believer or a non-believer – a Hindu or a Muslim, a Christian or a Sikh. Everybody can benefit."
Young in age but spiritually wise and mature, Guruji Shrii Arnav got his calling even as a child which led him to master the spiritual texts, undergo spiritual training in rigorous courses in esoteric rituals and rites. His hunger for knowledge of all the sciences and arts that controls life led him to acquire mastery and competency in areas such as astrology, gemology, numerology, Vasthu Shastra and many other practices which gives him a distinct edge when he advises people who trust certain practices only.
"Above all, my incentive for my following," says Guruji Shrii Arnav, "is because of an intrinsic desire to touch people in a spiritual manner – for the better, and my reward comes in the form of a smile, and further than that, a change for the better in their lives – all of which provides the ultimate stimulus for me to go ahead with my chosen path."
Besides heading Astro Journey, Guruji is also the Astro Columnist for What's New Fashion and Lifestyle magazine published from the UAE and Sulkeha Classifieds.
He is also the member of the International Planetary gemologists Association-Thailand

Don't Feed the Animals. Why People Who Don't Vote Could Be the Smart Ones and the Real Rebels
(cross posted at The Montana Maven )
Or so Dimitri Orlov would like us to ponder. It's not a new idea, but it is an idea that doesn't get much play in the media and in our discussions with neighbors. We are told over and over that voting is the patriotic thing to do. People died for the right to vote. We get little flag stickers to put on our coats like the purple fingers of Iraqi voters. That the conventional wisdom. So why do so many Americans sit the elections out? And at the same time, if Americans do participate why do we hear over and over from pundits and comments on the blogs that those folks in Kansas and other reddish places just don't get it. "Why do they vote against their own self interests? " progressives ask. The wags note that these voters are like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. But on the other hand, vast numbers of people including women and minorities vote for the blue team and get nothing substantial out of that too. So what's up? And yes, why do they even vote at all?
Orlov is a linguist and an engineer who has a blog called Club Orlov. He has also written several books, one of which, "Reinventing Collapse", I am reading for advice on how to survive such a collapse besides our two month's supply of Nalley's Chili and two generators. He emigrated to the U.S. in the mid-Seventies and made several trips back to Russia during the Soviet rule and then after the Soviet collapse. He believes that there are many lessons we in the U.S. can learn from the collapse of the other late 20th century super power. That there are more similarities than differences between the two super powers, as Orlov describes them, gave me pause. It's always interesting to look at a common question through a different set of glasses.
Both the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. derived their identities from being either capitalist or communist and the "extreme adherence to one or the other" as opposed to healthier countries that mix it up is what Orlov believes led to the doom of one and the coming doom of the other. Ideologies are all well and good, he says, if they actually work. But when it becomes clear that the average working citizen is not doing so well, the legitimacy of the rigid system begins to unravel and finally collapse. He points out that Albert Camus made the observation that the two superpowers were more alike than not back in the 1950s. Camus said that a specific failure of both systems was their inability "to provide creative, meaningful work." This Orlov says leads to mass depression. Read more about Don't Feed the Animals.

Why did Campaign for America's Future remove an article against Social Security cuts?
And why, especially, did CAF "remove"* an article that shreds Obama's (current) plan to treat elders to a cat food diet?** Let's start with a screen shot:
(And before moving on, I must say that -- I just have to say that -- I'm totally chuffed when "a moment of moral clarity" can't be found at "the strategy center for the progressive movement," search for it though we might. Too perfect.)
Here, for completeness, is the paragraph that contains the search string "a moment of moral clarity," from the Common Dreams re-post of the original CAF article (also at HuffPo; the original is cited by letsgetitdone at Corrente, Kos, and FDL).

Back to our roots
January 3, 2008 - Heather Ziegler
A big thank you goes out to WVU Football Coach Bill Stewart who made us proud to be Mountaineers this week. It's not just the magnificent win in the Fiesta Bowl, but it's the fact that he did it with such class. He has raised the bar and placed the WVU football program back to the class act it is. Not once did I see Stewart scream or use curse words along the sidelines when they showed him even after a penalty or other misstep on the part of his team. No, he is a gem and the fact that he hails from our local area is even better. Good luck to Stewart and all the people involved in the football program at WVU. You make us proud.

Imperfections in your skin don't confine themselves to your complexion. Acne, wrinkles, sagging skin, dryness and many other skin care concerns can develop on other parts of the body, leading to discomfort and even embarrassment about the condition of your skin. Although the face and body can suffer from the same skin care woes, body and facial skin have different needs and most treatments for the complexion are less than ideal for treating problems that occur on the chest, back, legs, arms, hands or feet. NUXE Body Products are formulated with the needs of body skin in mind, so that they can deliver quick results from head to toe.
The NUXE Body Products collection features natural formulations that heal the skin, fight signs of aging and improve texture and tone with ingredients derived from plants. The skin care experts at NUXE have developed many unique blends of natural ingredients that make it possible to treat skin care conditions that traditionally were difficult to address with natural remedies. Shop the NUXE Body Products to have gorgeous, healthy, youthful skin all over.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
With their natural formulas, the NUXE Body Products provide essential nutrients to meet the unique needs of body skin.
NUXE Fondant Shower Gel washes away dirt and impurities from head to toe and leaves the skin softened, conditioned and free of irritation. Instead of soap or chemical surfactants, the body wash gets its cleansing power from natural extracts derived from coconut. In clinical trials, 100% of participants reported that the shower gel was an effective cleanser that did not strip the skin of moisture. The rich foam is ideal for use in the bath or shower.
NUXE Fondant Gentle Body Scrub is an exfoliating treatment that is safe for all skin types and most ideal for dry skin. The formula provides moisture to the tissue for 24 hours after use without leaving behind a greasy residue that can clog the pores. The scrub loosens dead skin cells to soften and brighten the complexion. The tube packaging makes the product perfect for in-shower treatment as a follow-up to cleansing.
For those with chronic or seasonal dry body skin, NUXE 24hr Moisturizing Body Lotion is the ideal daily solution. The moisturizer uses sweet almond and sunflower oils to replenish the tissue's moisture supply and seals in hydration with wheat and wood extracts. As a result, the skin remains hydrated for 24 hours without the need to frequently reapply the formula. In addition to the standard 6.7-ounce bottle, a 13.5-ounce version of NUXE 24hr Moisturizing Body Lotion is available.

We never use solvents in our infusions, we believe you should be able to easily read aloud any ingredient on a label if you are going to attain health benefits from eating it. We make a nice assortment of gourmet desserts, salty snacks, and healthy vegan choices with a focus on gluten free goodies. This job has taught me that life is short, and the most important thing is how do these edibles taste?

Our typical patient is white collar professional over 30, on a medium budget and health conscious. Since our usual edible weighs in at between 1oz and 2.5oz those patients who desire a stronger dose, can easily eat two or more of our products without guilt, and with over 30 unique products from gourmet desserts to savory snacks to chose from, doing so is a joy!

The 5 match ODI series between hosts West Indies and Australia gets underway in a small town of the St Vincent island, Arnos Vale. Darren Sammy will be upbeat knowing that West Indies have won 17 out of the last 20 ODIs at this venue. But if the skipper has a piece of stat to rev him up, there are few others which might give him enough reason for worry. In the 14 ODIs played between these two sides since 2006, 13 have been won by Australia with one game being washed out. Also, West Indies lost the last ODI series they played at home, against India, by a margin of 3-2. They then toured India and once again were handed a pounding in subcontinental conditions. Add to that an in-form Australian side which has just won the CommonwealthBank tri-series and Sammy has enough worries to grow quite a few grey hair. Knowing the never-say-die attitude of this West Indies side, it will be an interesting contest. AustraliaArguably the best ODI side in the world right now, the main thing working in their favor is consistency. This is the second away tour for new skipper Michael Clarke and though he will miss the ODIs on account of an injury, the progress of the side will be of paramount interest to him. Australia are in a phase of rebuilding and Clarke's deputy, Shane Watson, has already shown that he has his own style of leading the side. For the first time, he will get 5 ODIs at a stretch and he will want to leave his mark on the mind of the selectors. The other player to watch out for will be his deputy for the series, David Warner, whose batting performances can at best be described as, sporadic. Known to be adept at handling the short balls, his role at the top of the order will be crucial to Australia's chances. Another player who will be keen to leave an impression will be Australia T20 skipper and ODI debutant George Bailey. His name has been doing the rounds of the selectors for quite sometime and with Clarke out of the side, he will surely be part of the starting XI. As far as the bowling department is concerned, the experience of Brett Lee will come in handy while the West Indies batsmen might experience difficulties against the disciplined Ben Hilfenhaus. James Pattinson, who was a bit off-key in the last few games of the CB series, might want to improve his credentials on his first overseas tour. West IndiesThe performance of West Indies in the last few ODIs that they played hasn't exactly been encouraging. Though a majority of fans would want a certain Chris Gayle to don the national colors, an ego battle with the board hasn't allowed that to happen. His ability to butcher world-class attacks and make them mediocre is well known. Despite his absence, West Indies have looked more than a competent side who generally falter at crucial junctures. While batting is certainly a worry, their bowling attack is more than decent with pacers like Ravi Rampaul and Keomar Roach in their ranks. Another pacer, Tino Best, who last played for West Indies in 2009, is making a comeback to the side. Moreover, the presence of three excellent allrounders in Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russel and Kieron Pollard strengthens their middle order. Both Russell and Pollard were in top form in the ODIs against India with the latter scoring a century in the last game in Chennai. Australia might also find mystery spinner Sunil Narine a bit tough to handle and it will be a clear cut battle between Australia's batsmen and West Indies bowlers. Team NewsAustralia: George Bailey is likely to debut and play at injured skipper Clarke's number 4 position. Watson might return to the opening slot and if that happens, Wade will have to move lower down the order.West Indies: Dwayne Bravo is returning to the West Indies ODI squad after a period of nearly a year. He has also been handed the vice-captaincy role. Johnson Charles, a young right hander from St Lucia, might make his ODI debut.
