Lance who?

Lance who?
I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play on one TV. But I nonetheless found myself spending a whole lot of time yesterday reading over legal documents. It would be cool if I were trying to gain understanding into my legal liabilities if I lead a ride and someone gets hurt. Or perhaps finding ways my auto insurance is legally required to cover myself and/or bicycle in the case of an accident in the saddle. Or how about the technicalities of home owners or renters insurance and a stolen bike.
Nope – as you probably guessed, I was all wrapped up in the USADA Reasoned Decision in the Lance Armstrong case. Across the internet, everyone seems to be writing that as "Reasoned Decision" – in quotation marks – as if it is a sarcastic remark. Turns out that a reasoned decision is actually a specific type of document that the USADA was required to release. From the publication itself:

I'm quite frankly sick to death of hearing about Lance and his apparently inexhaustible ability to be targeted by, and just missed by, doping investigations. More importantly, I'm tired of it being the only story the main stream american media seems able to cover related to cycling. Well, that and a cyclist killing a pedestrian. For americans this was an amazing year in bike racing, but you barely heard anything about in on the talking picture box. Two major pro level stage races in the United States. An American team battling it out in the olympics. American cyclist Chris Horner apparently inheriting the reigns of Cycling Media Ambassador for the american Audiences. These are exciting times for those of us in the states that are paying attention. For the rest of the population, apparently cycling is only about allegations of cheating from over a decade ago.
With all of this hoopla, you think that the Armstrong events were absolutely critical to the sport of cycling. But what impact with the USADA / Lance debacle actually have? Well, only one of two.
Scenario One: The (still) immortal Lance
There will be continued bickering, lawyering-up and public statementifications (read that carefully) until ultimately, some obscure court that no one has ever heard of will completely side-step the doping allegations, In this scenario, the Court of Arbitration for Sport will decide that the USADA has no authority to strip medals and wins. If this happens, historians will need to rewrite the name "Armstrong, L. United States" across the white out they just recently placed across his name.
Scenarion Two: Lance only had 9 lives (and already used up 8)
Alternatively, the ruling may stand. Lance may be stripped of his wins for all posterity. The sport will be cleansed of the evil dopers – oui? No. In fact, almost all of the 2nd place finishers that would be promoted to first if Armstrong is stripped of his titles are themselves accused and/or convicted dopers. That's progress, right?
Lance's characterization of these allegations as a "witch hunt" may be true. However, unlike the madness in Salem of oh-so-many years ago, this time around thar be real witches in the woods.
May is bike month. We all know it, and many of us go on about it. We get bike to school day, bike to work day, and in addition a whole bike to work week! Local coffee shops, bike shops and assorted business get the
excuse opportunity to set up tables along popular bike routes and paths giving away free swag and looking very bike-friendly. This should be a month for me to rejoice – to share enthusiasm and passions with the greater cycling community. A time for us to pat ourselves on our collective back and take stock in how far advocacy efforts have come. And May is action packed with a lot more than just advocacy and riding to work. On the racing front, we had not only the grand american race Tour of California, but also the Giro d'Italia. The Tour of Cali was especially engaging for me this year, as I watched one of my personal favorites – and fellow old guy – Chris Horner appear to struggle through the Time Trial with an anchor on his bike. The setback would have crushed the spirits of other folks. But the drama unfolded in the final significant climbs of the race as Horner, Jens Voigt (another personal favorite and fellow old guy) and others took a flyer off the front. Slowly riders from the break away dropped one by one, until Chris Horner had actually made back all the time lost in the TT and then some. He climbed his way into first place on paper – as Phil Liggett likes to say – and had me on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately the herculean effort was not enough and he was eventually caught. But what a way to highlight what bike month is supposed to be about – enjoying all aspects of bicycles. Rolling the cruiser, commuting to work, or ripping the peloton apart.
Unfortunately, this time around all Bike Month managed to do for me was remind me that the other 11 months are not bike month. June came this year to punch me in the gut and drive the point home. June has brought us the apparent implosion (again) of what should have been the best team in the peloton – RadioShack Nissan Trek. Andy Schleck has been plagued by … something … all season. There are already rumors of the Schleck boys leaving the squad. When the team announced their Tour de France lineup, Chris Horner was not on the list. This lead to all kinds of speculation and drama as to why that happened. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that the presumed Tour de France GC contender Andy Schleck was not going to make it due to injury. Ahh, but poor Bruyneel wasn't done with bad news yet. Just when we thought it was over, Bruyneel and Mr Armstrong find themselves in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Yup – doping allegations again. What is a cycling enthusiast to do.
But hold on a second…
I once again started my commute on a bicycle this morning in beautiful San Francisco. I passed numerous folks doing the same thing. I continue to ride my bike and enjoy it. And despite the fact that folks are predicting a guilty finding for Armstrong would "destroy cycling" my bike will still pedal and roll regardless of a USADA decision regarding Armstrong.
So that's what I'll do. I'll let June suck for Bruyneel and Armstrong. Come July, I'll be keeping track of the Tour de France and enjoying it. Bike Month is irrelevant to me, honestly. I don't have a bike month, or even a bike year. I have a bike life, and plan to until I can't turn my pedals any more.
Headline: "Cycling has another week riddled with news of doping and not much else"
Well, at least that is what you'd think if all you read is the mainstream press, or even the mainstream cycling press. We've already had racing action this season. First in Australia with the Tour Down Under, and the Tour of Qatar just started. Now honestly though – how many folks do you suspect actually know the standings of the early season races? I'm betting a fair sight less than the number that know that 1) Lance Armstrong is off the hook, and 2) Contador has been stripped of his 2010 wins – including the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia.
And this season is promising to be a great showdown. The combination of some of the riders from both Leopard Trek and Radio Shack into one team. Renshaw free to clash sabers in the sprints without having to focus on delivering Cavendish to the front. This is real racing drama – happening now. Armstrong doesn't race anymore – remember? And now Contador won't be racing this year until the Giro either. So let's focus our attention on the people out there trying to beat each other on the roads and single tracks – not in the court rooms, press rooms and headlines.
If only we could get as much coverage of our race winners as we do the doping circus… Just one man's opinion.
If you haven't yet had a chance to see the 60 Minutes interviews with Tyler Hamilton regarding the doping allegations against Lance Armstrong, I've included the video below (parts 1 and 2).
So now the question is – what do you make of this situation? Is Hamilton believable? If so, what does that mean for cycling? For the Livestrong foundation?
I've also posted this same question over in the Pro Cycling forum on VeloReviews.com. Share your opinions and thoughts on where we go with this.
Hypocrisy is something that drives me particularly nuts. I am especially sensitive to situations where I find myself acting or thinking in this way, and strive to stamp it out. Thanks to Alberto Contador I've actually found myself in one of these situations, and I'm still trying to figure out where my thinking may have gone wrong. Specifically, I'm realizing that I've not been judging Lance Armstrong and Contodor by the same standards. Even more so I've found myself holding the exact same opinion of Contador that I previously criticized others for having regarding Armstrong.
Team Radio Shack has just announced their team lineup for the Santos Tour Down Under to be held in Austrailia in January. That includes or still-not-quite-retired rider Lance Armstrong, who will also be participating in the Cancer Council Classic.
The full team for the first race of the 2011 Pro Tour is made up of (in alphabetical order):
Video posted toYouTube shows the immediate aftermath of the crash on Stage 8 of the Tour de France. In retrospect this may be viewed as the moment that ended Armstrong's hopes of the Yellow Jersey in what he himself has declared his last Tour de France.
According to an article posted at Wall Street Journal online, Floyd Landis has engaged "in hours of interviews with The Wall Street Journal in May." This article is apparently a distilled transcript of those interviews with little to no commentary on any other points of view aside from a couple "no comment" or "I deny everything" quotes. To be fair to the Wall Street Journal, however, those accused in Landis's statements have been fairly tight lipped on the issue by choice.
I've approached this issue with some skepticism since it first broke. I'll agree with other statements that have been made that the credibility of Floyd Landis is somewhat in question. However, I'm neither a Texas flag waving Armstrongian, nor a Texas flag burning anti-Armstrongian. While I would find it very disappointing, I concede the possibility that Lance Armstrong may have a couple of bags of blood hanging in his closet next to whatever skeleton may also be there. It was with this open mindset that I was actually looking forward to reading this article – hoping journalistic impartiality would prevail at the WSJ and I could get some compelling information.
Instead, I got hundreds of words of direct quotes from Floyd Landis, followed by this gem:
One evening during the camp, a handful of team members piled into a black Chevrolet Suburban for a night on the town, with Mr. Armstrong serving as the master of ceremonies.
Mr. Landis had met Mr. Armstrong briefly in the past, but most of what he knew about the world's most famous cyclist was what he'd read in Mr. Armstrong's 2000 memoir, "It's Not About the Bike." Mr. Landis had devoured the book, in which Mr. Armstrong chronicled his comeback from testicular cancer and portrayed himself as a modest and devoted family man.
Mr. Armstrong took the wheel of the Suburban and roared off through the streets. Stop signs didn't rate more than a tap of the brake, Mr. Landis said. Some traffic signals were wholly ignored and speed limits went unheeded. In the middle of the trip, Mr. Landis said, another rider asked, jokingly, "Are there no cops in this town?"
The journey ended at the Yellow Rose, a strip club on the north side of town. Don King, the club's general manager, said Mr. Armstrong and other cyclists on his teams have been coming to the club for about a decade. The riders were ushered into a booth. They ordered drinks and mingled with the dancers.
Later that night, some of the cyclists drove downtown to the offices of the agency that represents Mr. Armstrong. There, the party accelerated, according to Mr. Landis. Four strippers arrived at the offices with two bouncers and began performing a private show for the cyclists and others, he said. Mr. Landis and another young rider who attended, Walker Ferguson, said some people were snorting what appeared to be cocaine.
It is right here that any hope of honest journalism faded. Notice it is no longer clear in the article that these allegations are the unsubstantiated words of Floyd Landis. Instead, reporters Rhaveeed Albergotti And Vanessa O'Connell have shifted to present Landis's claims as fact. It was at this point my opinion started to shift towards one side of this debate. Given that parties, strippers and cocaine actually have nothing to do with doping in pro cycling, this started to take on the odor of a smear campaign from a disgruntled Floyd Landis as some have claimed. And of the Wall Street Journal realizing the sensational nature of those claims and throwing journalistic due diligence out the window in favor of sensational words. Shameful.
All of this being said, there is definitely a part of me left with a nagging soundtrack of Perl Jam's song "Jeremy" ringing in my head as I mull all this over. "Floyd Landis spoke in… class today."

Zach Braff Gets Old-Fashioned Financing Following His Kickstarter Campaign
By Sean O'Connell 2013-05-15 14:34:03 comments
Does this mean theres going to be a full refund? A kick the money back to my fans campaign?
Zach Braff might want to consider that, now that the film he asked his dedicated fanbase to partially fund has received full funding from an outside source. THR reports that Worldwide Entertainment has agreed to fund much of Braffs Wish I Was Here, an original project he and his brother Adam wrote that the filmmaker described as a sequel, in tone, to his hit indie film Garden State (though not a traditional sequel, at all).
Said Worldview CEO Christopher Woodrow in a statement, "Zach has proven again that he is a creative force in independent film, and we were immediately drawn to his powerful and unique story."
So were a lot of Braffs dedicated fans. His Kickstarter soared past the $2 million mark that he set on KS. Then he addressed the inevitable backlash, which earned him some bonus points with haters. Plus, there has been a lot of movement on the films front, including the recent casting of Book of Mormon co-star Josh Gad and the great Mandy Patinkin.
The trade does say that with Braff securing financing for his film, a small percentage of the money raised [through the online campaign] will be returned in the form of a fee to Kickstarter. But not to the people who donated. Apparently by showing their interest with their generous donations, they convinced Worldwide that Braff is a filmmaker with a following, and now they are banking on those people to show up at the box office when Wish I Was Here finally opens.

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] mpirun is using one PBS node only
From: Ralph Castain (rhc_at_[hidden])
Date: 2009-12-01 21:44:38
Just to further show my confusion (since I wrote much of the TM support):
If you get an interactive allocation and then type "mpirun ....", mpirun will execute on the node upon which you are sitting. Jeff's statement is -only- true if you "qsub" the job - i.e., you run it in batch mode.
From your prior notes, I was under the impression you were running interactively. If this is true, then you only need OMPI to be built with TM support on the node which you are interactively working on.
If you are running it in batch mode, then Jeff is correct - you will need OMPI built with TM support on all nodes since you (in general) cannot know which node PBS will launch you on.
Hope that is clear

Hi, I am a college student about to start an introduction to (black and white) photography this coming fall semester. I have been doing photography for about 3 years now. While I am definitely still an amateur and have a lot to learn, I do get very into the technical side of things and I spend most of my free time researching the field to learn more! Anyway, I thought this class would be a great opportunity to get into something that I've had my eye on for a while now: Rangefinder...

Reconciliation with an ex – is it a good idea?
There are some couples who seem to break up and get back together all the time, but for a lot of people once a relationship is over they don't go back to it – the break up was evidence that they were incompatible and they move on without a backwards glance.
There are situations where couples break up but neither of them move on or find new partners and the old relationship is given a second chance. The break up may actually make the relationship stronger but on the other hand reconciliation with someone who hurt you can leave you regretting having made the same mistake twice. If you are considering getting back with an ex here are some things to bear in mind while deciding if it is a good idea.
Good reasons for wanting to get back together:
Change: Often relationships end because of the habits or behaviours of one or both partners. It comes to a point where the other person can't live with it any more and has given up believing that things will ever change. If the break up of the relationship has acted as a wake up call and they have finally made the change – e.g. quit drinking, gambling or got help with health or emotional problems – then you may be tempted to give it another go with them.
While it is great to give someone a second chance if they are making a serious attempt to change you need to be sure that they are doing it for themselves and not just to win you back.
Reunion: Sometimes couples can't be together because of circumstances beyond their control. Maybe one of them has to move away or there is family opposition to the match. If the reasons that they couldn't be together changes, and they find themselves in a position where they can be reunited, then the separation often makes the relationship stronger and more committed because they have experienced what life was like apart.
Closure: If a relationship ends abruptly, or in anger, it can often leave one, or both, parties feeling like it didn't end properly, or ended too soon. If the decision was made in haste and when feelings have calmed down you both want to give it another shot then it is important that you work through whatever it was that caused the separation in the first place.
Getting back together because neither of you feel the relationship was complete can be the beginning of a new chapter or the important confirmation that you needed that the relationship wasn't right for you. Either way at least you won't be left wondering if it could have worked out if you had given it another go.
Bad reasons for wanting them back:
Loneliness: it is all too easy to drift back into a relationship that wasn't ideal simply because no-one else is around that either of you is interested in. It is unfair on both of you to do this. If you get back with someone who really wants to be with you again then they will most likely be hurt when they realise you are using them. If they don't really want to be with you, and are just drifting back with you because there is no-one else on the scene, then you may end up feeling used and hurt even if at the time you think it is better than nothing.
It is better to learn to be happy on your own than to be unhappy with someone else.
So no-one else can have them: to get back into a relationship with someone simply because you can't bear the idea of them being with anyone else is unfair on both of you. The strength of your feelings might feel like love but it is more likely to be jealousy and control that is driving you on and it would be better for you both to let them go and find happiness elsewhere.
Is it a good idea?
Only you can know if it is really a good idea to get back with an ex. The important question to ask yourself is have you really let go of whatever it was that caused you to break up in the first place? If you have then don't get back together and try to recreate how things were before because they won't ever be the same. Look forward and create something new and hopefully stronger.

Poisonous flower discovered in park (From This Is Wiltshire)
Poisonous flower discovered in park
5:00am Monday 25th August 2014 in By Dominic Gilbert
POTENTIALLY poisonous flowers have been removed from Royal Wootton Bassett after being mistakenly planted by a group of Brownies.
Amateur photographer Mike McKee made the discovery after spotting the unusual looking red flowers last week in Jubilee Park.
His research showed they were corncockles, which were thought to have been eradicated from the UK but have been making a return in recent months.
Contact with the flower is potentially harmful. Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council fenced the area off before cutting back the plants.
"I first noticed them last Thursday and there were around 15 to 20 there in a group," said Mike. "I had absolutely no idea what they were at first – I just saw them there and they looked a bit different.
"I looked in my flower book and it said these were scant and very rare, so I did a bit more research on them. When I Googled them I found out they could be deadly.
"They were thought to be extinct, but I believe the Royal Horticultural Society have been selling them in packets and distributing them throughout the UK because they are wild flowers.
"A lot of people want to see wild flowers back again but they don't realise exactly what is in a packet of mixed seeds. There are probably other places around here where they have been planted, and people will just walk past without noticing a thing. It only gets really nasty if you touch them."
Mike said the plants were discovered after a Brownie group had planted some new species of wild flower in the area.
"The 2nd Royal Wootton Bassett Brownies planted them and thought they had done a good deed by sowing some wild flowers in the area, but they must have got these things in some of the packets," he said.
"You can see where they have cut them back, and that is the whole reason they were fencing the area off, to cut the flowers off before they could seed. Hopefully they should not come back again, and they have done the right thing by cutting them back."
All parts of the plant are poisonous, but the flowers used to be a common feature of many wheat fields, with the seeds likely to have been found in most wheat harvests prior to the 20th century, before which the corncockle was a staple of folk medicine.

Why the hysteria over Corncockle?
All this talk of "deadly to touch" is pure nonsense.
As of many plants, they're only poisonous if you try to eat them!!!
Even then, a healthy person would vomit most of the toxins out of their system ( thereby presenting any fatalities)
Anyway, at least it got Swindon Advertiser into The Guardian...

Experts agree women need to be assertive with money matters. Here's how to ask for a raise without alienating your boss.
I asked for my first raise at 26. The response from my boss? "Don't hold your breath." It was my third job since graduating from university, and up until then I'd never negotiated my salary. It wasn't until a colleague pulled me aside to tell me he'd caught a glimpse of my paycheque—he thought I should be making $1,000 more a month—that I had the courage to even ask about money matters.
The thought of having the "money talk" had always made me uncomfortable. In my final year of journalism school, I interned in a newsroom for three months. When they offered me a job, I was so relieved to have full-time work that I hugged the HR woman instead of playing salary hardball. A year later, I took a new job in communications and again accepted the salary offer without discussion. Months later, I found out that friends in similar roles were making close to $5,000 more a year. Still, I didn't ask for a raise out of fear that it might jeopardize the strong relationship I was building with my boss.
Skip ahead six years, and I'm now a partner in Smart Cookies, a small, successful consulting business that helps people stay in control of their finances and create a debt-free life. But, sometimes, I still feel like I'm not doing enough to demand what I'm worth. It makes me angry to think about all the money I've missed out on by not advocating for myself—or not advocating properly. The reality of just how much I've lost out on didn't hit me until I picked up Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want.
The book includes an example of a 22-year-old man and woman who both receive offers for jobs that pay $25,000 a year. The woman accepts the offer while the man negotiates to obtain a starting salary of $30,000. The authors calculate that if the man deposits the extra $5,000 into an account earning 3-percent annually and if, every year after that, both employees average 3 percent raises and the man saves his additional earnings, when he retires at 65, he will have an additional $784,192 in his account simply because he negotiated that one time.
Learn what the experts say about preserving your relationships while negotiating money matters on the next page...

As healthcare costs have risen, the insurance industry has relied upon increasing premiums as its main compensatory vehicle. The 2005 Bruckner Group (BGI) Study of Payers indicates that the largest purchasers of healthcare—major employer groups—are beginning to aggressively refuse continued price hikes. The evidence suggests they have to. Despite creative attempts at risk-sharing and consumer-driven plans, employers spent $330.9 billion in 2003 on health insurance, representing a 12 percent increase from 2002, according to the Employment Policy Foundation. Compounded by the expected cost
The 2005 Bruckner Group study is based on extensive discussions with managed care payer decision-makers who represent greater than 80 percent of covered lives in the United States, about all major therapeutic classes with significant pharmaceutical utilization. BGI analyzed this year's results against its previous payer studies and determined that payers are moving with even greater aggressiveness toward two major cost-cutting goals for their pharmaceutical and biological therapy utilization:
Consider that many managed care organizations (MCOs) strongly believe that there are still great efficiencies to be realized. The 2005 BGI study indicates that pharmacy directors can identify significant opportunities for cost control in most classes through improvements in the efficient utilization of resources. Their previous programs have demonstrated proof of concept that historical utilization can help determine the patient profiles best suited for a particular expensive alternative. The goal is to provide patients with the least expensive therapy that matches their diagnosis, prognosis, previous utilization, and risk factors.

"Over the season, we acquire a tremendous amount of costumes and hundreds of props, " says Joy Zinoman, Artistic Director of the Studio Theatre. "And each year, after the season ends, we go down into our prop storage — an enormous space in the basement of our building — and say 'Okay this goes, this goes, this goes, this stays.' "
What "goes " is placed into the Studio's annual Garage Sale, a twenty-five year tradition. This year's event will be held on Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"A garage sale seems like a silly thing, " says Zinoman, "but it actually has a deep purpose. It started with [resident set designer] Russell Metheny saying to me, 'Don't keep stuff, don't ask designers to reuse things — everybody needs their own complete vision about furniture and décor and props. Just keep enough so that you can use it in rehearsals. The rest, get rid of.'
"Sometimes that's very painful, " Zinoman concedes. "We can get ridiculously attached to things. "
What's the criteria for what stays and what's sold? "If the piece is very unique or very associated with some play or character, " says Zinoman, "then it has to go. But we'll keep things that have generic value, that can be used in other shows — like firearms. "
This year's selection includes children's spring horses from The shape of Things, exotic drag costumes from Privates on Parade, and gothic items from Bat Boy: The Musical. Also on the selling block: a ton of costumes, antique glassware, records and CDs, and 1980s era children's toys. Come early, as says Zinoman, "the first 45 minutes are huge. "
There have, over the years, been some sales that struck even the unflappable Zinoman as a little "weird. "
"There have been times when people have come looking for a particular actress or actor's underwear, " she admits with a laugh. "And that's all I'll say about that! "
The Studio Theatre Garage Sale will be held this Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1333 P Street NW (the corner of 14th & P). For more information, call 202-232-7267.

Oklahomans in college football: How Tyler Tettleton's benefitted from a big-league dad
SHREVEPORT, La. — It's no wonder Tyler Tettleton has the ability to stand in the pocket, oblivious to the half-a-ton of human beef often looking to take his head off. For most of his 22 years on earth, pressure has surrounded Ohio University's quarterback — he just hasn't felt it.
Tettleton grew up in Norman as the son of a major league baseball player, Mickey Tettleton. Mickey's career in the big leagues spanned 14 years, He combined to hit 245 home runs as a member of four teams and was a two-time American League All-Star (1989, '94).
Despite Mickey's impressive resume as a professional athlete, Tyler never felt pressure to succeed, or even play, sports — especially baseball.
"He let me do my thing," Tyler Tettleton said. "That's what I love about him; he just wants the best for me and he's always there supporting me."

Stars at the White House Correspondents' Dinner definitely made a statement and started off the week with a bang but that wasn't the only event that made me ooh and ahh.
From Zoe Saldana's bold fashion choices while promoting 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' to Kate Middleton in peach and to the stars at 'The Great Gatsby' NYC premiere, it was one hell of a good week in fashion.
So without further adieu, who was the best dressed celebrity of the week? Sound off in comments below!

The Brazen Serpent was a bronze image of a serpent that was raised on a pole. The Israelites had been cursed by God with snakes due to their sin. Moses interceded for them, and God instructed Moses to construct the serpent. All who would look upon this serpent will be saved. Numb. 21:8, "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he shall live.'"
The serpent represents Christ, who was lifted up on the cross, and all who look upon the cross by faith are saved. John 3:14-15, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 that whoever believes may in Him have eternal life."

Over the years, the CMH million foot program has gone through many changes. The original dinner jackets turned out to be completely inefficient as ski wear and so the design later turned to one piece suits- the ultimate in snow protection. In recent years, we have transitioned to the traditional blue Arc'teryx Jacket with black pants which allows for sufficient ventilation of flatulant gasses, as well as increased versatility in the restroom.
For the 2013 season, we have decided to review our million foot suit program to take it to the next level. We are living in a digital era; everyone is now skiing with Gopro cameras, cellphones, boot heaters, hand heaters, gps goggles, and an array of other electronic devices. It would only make sense that our leading skiers would be wearing the leading styles in outerwear.
During out brainstorming session for what the next generation million foot suit would be, we were shown this clip by one of our vendors:
At first, everyone was skeptical. But once we thought about it, and how much of a fantastic achievement skiing 1 million vertical feet really is, we decided to explore the options. As it turns out, the LED application can be applied to our existing Arc'teryx jackets, to provide the ultimate in mountain function and flash. The thin LED shell feels no different to the person wearing it, and adds that extra level of "look at me".
We will be setting up our drying rooms at the lodge with charging stations, so that every million footer can be sure to have a fully charged suit each morning. The expected battery life is around 11 hours.
Marty Von Neudegg, is particularly excited about the new suits: "CMH is always on the leading edge of clothing technology for our environments. With so much of our skiing done in the trees, we felt that this suit will give our million foot guests the visual edge they need to see and be seen. And of course, in their home ski areas, everyone will know that they are a CMH Million Foot Skier…from three lifts away. It will certainly inspire conversation about CMH and what it means to wear one of our new Million Foot suits."
Using L.E.D. Technology, these suits are the latest in technology fashion accessories. They still use the same goretex pro-shell technology to keep you warm and dry. The thin, lightweight, LED outer layer will act as a heat source, keeping you extra warm on those cold days. The LED's can be turned off to conserve power during times of high natural light (eg. daytime)
"We are extremely excited about the possibilities of the new suits, after dark is a time that we have never been able to explore the great mountains in our areas." This year, for the first time, CMH will be able to offer a week, exclusive to million footers with the new suits, where we will start skiing at 4pm, and ski well into the early morning hours. It will be the first exclusive night heli-skiing program offered. Because of the luminescence of our new suits, we will require no additional lighting. Each skier and boarder, lighting their own path down the mountain. We will of course have a specially lit guide's suit, so that all of the night heli-skiers will have a reference to follow.
The first million foot night heli-ski trip will take place April 1, 2013, also known as april fools day 2013. What a big event for April 1! This year we will just stick with this article... which is a good enough april fools joke as is!

The Etesian wind tempers the warm days of summer in the eastern Mediterranean. Similarly, in California the moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean cools the vineyards of Sonoma, promoting superb natural balance and well-developed flavors in our Pinot Noir grapes.
The nose opens with spicy black cherry and earth with cedar and blackberry. These notes continue on to the mouth with spice and jammy black cherry with toasty oak and bramble.
Pairs well alongside grilled meats, including rack of lamb, duck breast and steak. Try with dishes that contain fresh herbs, braised greens, roasted mushrooms or figs
Vintage 2011 gave us the smallest yields in the history of our vineyards. Tiny berries plus a small crop provided a high skin to juice ratio that produced generous wines. A long cool growing season delayed harvest by as much as two weeks. This long growing season provided extra "hang time" giving the fruit more time to develop flavor and concentration and substantial mature tannins.

Folthrik, find out if there is a judaica store (sells jewish ritual items) near you, and see if they sell shofrim(plural, singular is shofar) and put in the side holes yourself. A shofar generally goes for about twenty bucks, maybe less in America. Generally they are rams horns, but you can also get goat horns.edit to add pichttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jemenittisk_sjofar_av_kuduhorn.jpg

If being too gorgeous were a crime, this luminizing powder would turn us all into serial offenders. Ok, maybe that's a little extreme, but can you blame us? This three-in-one highlighter, eyeshadow, and all-over shimmer is the prettiest honey-hued pigment weve ever laid our eyes on. As the pun-tastic name suggests, this versatile luminizer imparts a soft-focus glow wherever we choose to apply it. Light-reflecting silica particles conceal blemishes and fine lines, while the honey color leaves a sheer wash of shimmer. It's our secret to looking great in all settings, from fluorescent cubicles to candlelit cafes.
This is my favorite highlighter I've ever used--it goes on a sheer, shimmery gold and looks gorgeous. I've actually had friends comment on my make-up when I wear this and I've gotten a few to start buying it themselves because they liked how it looked so much. I think it would work with any skin tone/complexion and really helps brighten up your features.5
At first I was skeptical about yet another "highlighter" on the market, but this is no ordinary highlighter! It gives an instant pick up to my whole face when applied to my cheekbones. Tip: if you are older and have some wrinkles around your lines, do not get it near the wrinkles or it will just make them stand out! I focus on the cheeks. It is also amazing for dotting just at the top of the bridge of your nose near your eyes. Another benefit: I have reddish skin and the yellow tone in here helps calm it down.
Please give this a try!!!
Mary-Lou Manizer gives you that perfect 'glow from within.' It doesn't have any big chunks of glitter, and it's not overly metallic shimmery. It's just that perfect "Are you on a new juice-cleanse?" glow. It's very finely milled and catches the light perfectly. It highlights without adding a white layer to your face. The color itself is pretty neural, and the highlight is slightly warm and glow-ey. Not bronze as in bronzer, just very a very warm glow, almost as if you just came back from a tropical vacation (without adding any tan-ness to your skin). I am extremely fair and this doesn't look fake (or orange) at all.5

Have you tried Biscoff Spread yet? It is a cookie spread that is absolutely incredible. If you haven't sampled it, you really need to.
I am kind of on a Muddy Buddy kick right now. Between V-day handouts and my husband's scouts, I have a lot of treats to make and need something simple, quick and practical. Muddy Buddies make great gifts because the recipe makes a lot and you can package them up cute and hand them out for Valentines gifts, or a great gift for any time of year really.
This particular recipe is one of my favorites. It takes a classic sweet snack and tweaks it to taste like another one of my favorite desserts, cookies. You will love these!
Biscoff Muddy Buddies
By February 6, 2013Published:
A delicious spin on a classic recipe!
- 6 1/2 cups Chex Cereal I used Rice Chex. You could add more as needed
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Spread
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup finely ground/processed Biscoff cookies
- Measure out cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a large zip lock bag, combine powdered sugar and ground Biscoff cookie crumbs. Shake if needed to evenly combine the two. Set aside.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine biscoff spread, white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute then stir. Microwave in 30 second intervals as needed until mixture is melted. You could also cook in a saucepan over low-medium heat. NOTE: Mixture will be thick. Expect that.
- Pour Biscoff mixture over cereal. Because the Biscoff mixture is thick, it will be most efficient to use your hands to carefully coat the cereal. Be patient and keep incorporating the mixture, it will coat.
- Dump coated Chex cereal into zip lock bag with powdered sugar/Biscoff cookie crumbs. Seal and shake and toss to evenly coat all the cereal.
- Let cool so that the mixture adheres to the cereal completely.

Thomas DiLorenzo explains how the 17th Amendment was instrumental in paving the way for the growth of big government and the demise of state's rights:
View on YouTube
Senators were originally designed to represent the states (which is why every state got two). Their job was to make sure that any legislation that passed congress would not erode the sovereignty of the states – keeping federal power in check. That's why they were chosen by their state legislatures. They didn't have to worry about bringing home "pork" and other such nonsense to bribe voters with, because they were accountable to the state legislatures. If they voted for legislation that would weaken the state's rights, they'd be gone.
With the 17th Amendment, that all changed. Now senators have no motivation to protect their state sovereignty. They pander to the voters just like congressmen do. The result is that Federal power has not been kept in check, and has increasingly eroded states rights.
The founders knew what they were doing when they designed our system. They were ardent students of history and knew how easy it was for government to exceed and abuse its power. But "progressives" thought they knew better. The 16th and 17th Amendment have wreaked havoc on checks and balances and brought more corruption to the process – so much so that Americans are inclined to despair that it could ever change. It can, if we have the courage to educate the voters, repeal these two destructive amendments, and get back to the original constitutional limits of government!
Glenn Beck and Judget Napolitano explain how the 17th Amendment has led to increased corruption and was designed by "progressives" like Woodrow Wilson to make it nearly impossible to restrain federal power:

A recap of my week .
I separated the browns and yellows from my Marmalade charm pack by MODA and made 2 table toppers.
The brown is backed and bound in a plain brown linen look cotton.
The quilting is simple diagonals and straight stitches on the borders.
I like it's simplicity.
The colour combination of red and yellow together makes me think of the country and summer.
I backed and bound this table topper with a tiny red and white gingham.
I need lots more practice in free motion stitching.
It is a lot harder than it looks.
I liked this star embroidery stitch on my Janome, as it looks hand stitched.
I sewed the white borders on the two Marmalade runners I pieced on holidays.
I used my white Kona jellyroll strips for quick precut borders.
The white borders have really brought out the colours in the table runners.
So fresh and summery.
I love the Marmalade fabric collection.
We headed to Warrandyte yesterday for a few hours alongside the river.
Had some yummy afternoon tea from the local Bakery.
Love this mosaiic chair.
Were entertained by the local ducks riding the river current up and down.
Spending time in the garden with a cuppa.
Loving the smell of my next door neighbour's Lilac bush that hangs over our adjoining fence.
The roses are coming out .
Nurturing the vegie garden. My first ever attempt at growing lettuce.
The big pot of lettuce is growing very well and we harvested the first leaves this week.
The cherry tomatoes have doubled in size and we look like having a good crop.
The herb garden is doing well with Basil, mint, coriander,spring onions and rosemary.
My son has decided to grow basil and strawberries in the old concrete laundry tub.
He needs to find a way of educating one big black dog to not stand in the tub.
Today on the stove are pears poached in Rose wine.
The recipe was kindly given to me by the proprietor of a winery that we visited on holiday.
It is an easy one and the taste is divine.
Pears in Rose
Cut 8 pears in half and core.
Place 1 cup of sugar into a large saucepan.
Pour in 1 whole bottle of Rose wine.
Dissolve the sugar into the Rose , over a low heat.
Add the pears and simmer uncovered until pears are soft.
Reduce the liquid syrup to your liking.
Lovely served cold with vanilla ice cream.
Hope you had great week and are enjoying your weekend.
Til next time.

Cognac Group Takes a Shot at Hit Drink
New 'Summit' Cocktail Seeks Trendy Status To Boost Liquor's Sales
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
PARIS -- In January, the Cognac industry trade body -- the Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac -- flew 17 top bartenders from as far away as New York, London and Munich, Germany, to Cognac in western France to restore what the group claims is the liquor's "rightful place in any cocktail repertoire."
For four days, the bartenders, referred to in trendy circles as mixologists, toured the region's vineyards, sampled its produce and created cocktails. Their concoctions had to incorporate Cognac, a brandy that can be produced only in the Cognac region.
Their mission: Create a trendy cocktail that will make the liquor's popularity soar. The result was a Cognac, ginger and lemonade-based drink called the Summit.
Swedish-based V&S Vin & Sprit AB played a role in the popularizing of the Cosmopolitan cocktail when it was promoting its Absolut Citron liquor in the late 1980s. The Cosmo became a world-wide hit and an on-screen favorite of characters on the TV show "Sex and the City," helping spur sales of vodka, particularly the lemon-flavored variety.
But for every hit, there are dozens of misfires. "Brand promotional pamphlets and in-house recipe books are cemeteries of forgotten drinks," says Dale de Groff, president of the Museum of the American Cocktail, which is planning this summer to move from Las Vegas back to New Orleans, its base before Hurricane Katrina hit the city. Spirits such as Calvados, the French apple brandy, have been trying in vain to make the cocktail hit list for years.
BNIC, the Cognac trade group, concedes that the Summit might be a long shot and that if it doesn't catch on, the group may have to try again with a new drink. So far, the best-known Cognac-based cocktail is the Sidecar, which arrived in bars in the 1920s, but it has been decades since a new Cognac-based cocktail gained any real traction.
Thanks to slick marketing campaigns, Cognac's big players -- such as Courvoisier (sold by Fortune Brands) and Hennessy (sold by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) -- have succeeded in capturing a market segment stretching from hip-hop fans to brandy connoisseurs. According to BNIC, sales have been increasing for six consecutive years.
But sales growth of Cognac's youngest and cheapest variety, VS -- the type you might mix with cola -- has been slowing lately. Cognac makers feel that without the right cocktail, they are leaving change on the bar. "We are missing the perfect serve," says Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, founder of Cognac-based wine consultancy EuroWineGate.
Yet Cognac makers are already discovering that trying to create a cocktail can be a messy business.
"Pomegranate and lychee are played out in New York, but the barmen in London said it was all the rage," says Brian Van Flandern, a cocktail consultant who helped develop the Summit during the four-day gathering. So, in deference to New York, those ingredients weren't seriously considered for the Cognac-based drink. "We had to compromise," says Mr. Van Flandern.
There were also tensions over the guidelines within which the bartenders were required to work during their four days of experimentation in Cognac. The drink had to retain the original taste and color of cognac and be easy to make.
Ugo Frabetti, an Italian barman who was on the trip, was frustrated that some of the more complex concoctions were thrown out. The unusual taste of Cognac also made it tricky to work with. "Cognac is like jazz," says Mr. Frabetti. "At first it is very hard to understand, but when you get it, it's great."
There is no easy recipe for cocktail success. The origins of the mint-and-rum-based Mojito trace back to 16th-century Cuba. But the drink took off in bars around the world just a few years ago -- and when it did, so did sales of Bacardi rum. Bacardi USA says the popularity of the Mojito has helped boost sales of rum 10% to 12% in bars in the U.S. over the past five years.
"Cocktails like Mojitos are vital for the brand's image," says Joe Metevier, U.S. brand director at Bacardi Traditional Rums. "It gives consumers new ways to think of and use Bacardi." Mr. Metevier says the rum maker is trying to push the Mojito "from all angles." It has pioneered variants such as low-alcohol Mojitos along with flavored rum to use with Mojitos. It has also invested in educating bartenders around the U.S. about the drink. The company's latest creation: a ready-to-drink Mojito, with Bacardi already in it, launched this month in the U.S. at $19.99 for a 1.75-liter bottle.
BNIC has a climb ahead of it as it pushes the Summit. It officially launched the drink recently at a bar in Paris and hosted a tasting session at an agricultural trade show in the French capital. Now, BNIC representatives are making the rounds of bars in Paris and Cognac, teaching bartenders how to make the drink and encouraging them to use Cognac in cocktails.
Next month, the group plans a big promotional event at a bar in London. Paul Martin, a cocktail consultant who is organizing the event, says, "The idea is to show that Cognac is not your granddad's favorite spirit, but something that can be used in a contemporary cocktail."
But even he realizes that building success takes time. "You can't make people like a cocktail...What this is about is getting people used to the idea that Cognac is a bloody good base for a cocktail."

FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) — A Farmington hospital is shuttering its clinic in a neighboring city.
San Juan Regional Medical Center will close its Bloomfield clinic in June and move the clinic's patients and five-person medical staff to the hospital's clinic in Aztec.
The Daily Times (http://ow.ly/vQJyf ) reports that consolidation of the clinics is intended to help the medical center deal with a nearly $10 million funding deficit, including a nearly $370,000 annual operating loss at the Bloomfield site.
Hospital officials cite a drop in state funding, fewer visits among existing patients and a lack of new patients.
The Aztec facility is eight miles away.

Welcome to my new site. There isn't much here at the moment, but I will be adding more at a later date. The first will be a forums and then possibly a wiki for a project I am conceptulizing. I plan to use this site as personal site of sorts. It will contain a blog, a host to my different projects (ranging from fanfiction and original stories to my various programming projects and games that I may right), and eventually to host my portfolio. Now for a little bit about myself.

Short Bio:
|Well just a little description of me. I'm a geek and proud of it. I have been working on computers (both hardware and software) since I was in the fifth grade, and I have never turned back. I am currently attending school for programming, with a bit of emphasis in game programming. I'm especially interested in AI and what it can do for games and humanity as a whole. I love playing games, especially MMO's, watching Anime or TV, and I love working on computers. I take much pride from my monster of a rig that I use as a desktop and I always strive to keep it up to date with hardware. I love to program and I have written several minor programs that I only really used personally, and almost none of them were used by anyone else. This site might hopefully change that.

See the quote from Levi's diary below. Keep an eye out for it. Pretty low.
"My morning didn't start off too well. Someone stole my laundry bag and it had my king of the mountains jersey in there and some other things. I think that's totally lame, and if it ever shows up on eBay or something, I hope somebody will report it to my Web site. I don't want someone to buy it, thinking it was me doing it and that I had it for sale."

After last year's memorable trip to Iraq, Brian Kachinsky had the opportunity to go back. It's clear from his words that he left the US troops once again, just as affected, if not more, by the entire experience. Check out Bikes Over Baghdad Part 2.

Ohio upgrades ATMs for digital deposits
How long does it take to upgrade 1,100 ATMs in Ohio? If you answered "18 months," you are the winner.
The State Employee Credit Union (SECU) is upgrading its fleet of ATMs across the state to allow for its members to perform digital deposits instead of the old cash-or-check-in-an-envelope method. The ATM upgrade will be done by Diebold, which is based in Canton, Ohio.
Digital banking is no longer for major financial centers and emerging markets where IT infrastructure is scarce. Middle America expects to bank via digital deposits as well as via their smartphones and mobile apps.
An SECU spokeswoman says one of the key aims of the upgrade will be to enable ATM users to make deposits at a majority of the sites. SECU ATMs are located in 248 credit union branch offices and at standalone locations throughout the state.
"That current footprint is not expected to go through any major reconfigurations in conjunction with the upgrade," reports a local business journal.
SECU is the nation's second largest credit union with 1.8 million members.

Search: barbershop quartet history
Why: I am watching "The Sing-Off" (even though they kicked off the best group last night).
Answer: Like lots of other music, it started with African-Americans.
Immigrants to the new world brought with them a musical repertoire that included hymns, psalms, and folk songs. These simple songs were often sung in four parts with the melody set in the second-lowest voice. Minstrel shows of the mid-1800s often consisted of white singers in blackface (later black singers themselves) performing songs and sketches based on a romanticized vision of plantation life. As the minstrel show was supplanted by the equally popular vaudeville, the tradition of close-harmony quartets remained, often as a "four act" combining music with ethnic comedy that would be scandalous by modern standards.
The "barbershop" style of music is first associated with black southern quartets of the 1870s. The African influence is particularly notable in the improvisational nature of the harmonization, and the flexing of melody to produce harmonies in "swipes" and "snakes." Black quartets "cracking a chord" were commonplace at places like Joe Sarpy's Cut Rate Shaving Parlor in St. Louis, or in Jacksonville, Florida, where, black historian James Weldon Johnson writes, "Every barbershop seemed to have its own quartet."
Wikipedia says:
"The Mills Brothers learned to harmonize in their father's barber shop in Piqua, Ohio. Several other well-known African American gospel quartets were founded in neighborhood barber shops, among them the New Orleans Humming Four, the Southern Stars and the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartette." The affinity of [the Mills'] harmonic style with that of the barbershop quartet is clearly in evidence in their music and most notably, perhaps, in their best-known gospel recording, "Jesus Met the Woman at the Well," performed a cappella. Their father founded a barbershop quartet, the Four Kings of Harmony, and the Mills Brothers produced at least three records in which they sang a cappella and performed traditional barbershop material.The first written use of the word "barbershop" in reference to harmonizing came in 1910, with the publication of the song, "Play That Barbershop Chord."Here is a white lady singing that song in The Good Old Summertime (1949).
Source: A Capella Foundation
The More You Know: According to the Barbershop Harmony Society:
Barbershop music features songs with understandable lyrics and easily singable melodies, whose tones clearly define a tonal center and imply major and minor chords and barbershop (dominant and secondary dominant) seventh chords that resolve primarily around the circle of fifths, while making frequent use of other resolutions.The barbershop quartet at Disneyland is called The Dapper Dans.

Is It....
Is it buck naked or butt naked? Just wondering. Never been sure.

I have actually used both, so I am not sure. :) I am the worse person with phrases. Until a year ago, I was saying "play it by year". And that is just one of the many I have discovered that I say wrong. :)ReplyDelete
Hah! That's funny, Sarah. I've always said, "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes."ReplyDelete
The American Heritage Dictionary proposes the original phrase was actually "butt naked." The phrase was then cleaned up to "buck naked" so it could be used in polite company.ReplyDelete
So I guess it depends on whether you feel like being polite or not.
I've always used buck.ReplyDelete
I've always used buck, too, but I tend to screw these kinds of things up.ReplyDelete

A normal temperate is 98.6 F, if he goes over 100 F then take him in. I would consider 96 F as low, but if youre concerned bring him in just to make sure.posted 11/20/2011 by Steph and Rob

Environmental officials testing West Pittston home where woman died
Federal and state environmental officials are conducting testing in a West Pittston home in the flood-ravaged Wyoming Valley days after an elderly woman died there from inhaling an unknown gas, Luzerne County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Lisman said Monday.
Preliminary tests showed there was very little oxygen, far less than needed to sustain life, in the basement of Carol Mikols, 62, who was found dead Friday in the basement of her sister's River Shores Court home.
Her death is being connected to the "high water event" in the area, Lisman said. There was nearly three feet of groundwater in the home's basement.
Two cats were also found dead. She was alone.
"That's why we're concerned with getting it out in the media," he said. "Be careful."
The water, however, was not from the Susquehanna River.
The river now contains a stew of pollutants and raw sewage in the aftermath of rampant flooding caused by Tropical Storm Lee.
Heavy rains saturated the ground, forcing water into the basement. More specific details will not be available until the testing is completed, including samples taken from her body during an autopsy on Saturday, he said.
When that will be finished is not yet known.
Neighbors found the Exeter resident dead in the home.

Canada is apparently a hive of foreign spies and Ottawa is "crawling with them," according to an Ottawa Citizen article about a new book, titled Nest of Spies. The book was written by an investigative journalist and a former intelligence officer with the RCMP Security Service and Canadian Security Intelligence Service. If the article is any indication, this book is just laden with intrigue and scandal. For example, it claims that 1970s/1980s Russian hockey star Vladislav Tretiak was also a spy "talent scout," recruiting new secret agents for the Soviet Union. From the Ottawa Citizen:
Led by the Chinese but including intelligence officers from at least 20 nations including allies, the book says, the infiltrators are stealing an estimated $20 billion to $30 billion annually worth of cutting-edge research in products and technologies, other scientific, business and military know-how and political secrets. Others, it says, are infiltrating ethnic communities, suppressing criticism of homeland governments, recruiting industrial spies, stoking political violence among the diaspora and operating front companies and political lobbies aimed at manipulating government policies.
Proportionately, it estimates more spies operate here than in the U.S…
"The great Tretiak was quite a celebrity in his day, and not only among hockey fans. CSIS was also an avid Tretiak-watcher. A number of good sources inside the organization have told us that Tretiak was 'ticketed' at the time. That means that he was believed to be a 'co- opted' individual, somebody who has been recruited as an informer and was being paid or recompensed in some way. There were hundreds of these back then, especially among Soviet citizens like himself who had received job offers from outside the homeland." But, the book continues, "there was also a hypothesis that he was more than a simple informer." In Friday's interview, Juneau- Katsuya said one of three CSIS sources believes Tretiak worked as a "talent-spotter" for the Russian foreign intelligence service, the SVR, successor to the KGB.

I just logged on so can you let me know what the status is on being able to interview Jay Gruden and what are your thoughts on him as a head coach
Posted 07 January 2013 - 01:02 PM
dwricci2362 - I don't know if you watched the playoff game on Saturday between Cincinnati and the Texans but I thought Jay Gruden had a terrible game plan and really called a bad game play wise. If the Eagles are going to interview anyone from Cincinnati it should be the defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. He had his guys ready to play on defense.

Health reform will sink us
Published: Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at 4:26 p.m.
To The Editor: Both Democrats and Republicans are crashing our economy at a rate from which it will never recover.
If passed, proposed health care bills are so bad that Americans will beg Congress for national insurance. No government program has ever been written that did not cost more than four times projections. Fraud and corruption are constant aspects of every Washington endeavor, like Medicare. Debt will spiral out of control.
Only a health care program where everyone has a win/lose possibility will work. A medical savings or cafeteria plan for first $2,000-5,000 along with catastrophic insurance would make individuals responsible for controlling initial costs.
Individuals could keep unused portion, save money, and create better working relation with their doctors. It's cheaper to go to Prima-care than emergency, saving money for all.
Congress' goal is to tax only the wealthy, currently top 25% earners pay over 85% of taxes. Bottom 75%, via congressmen, could push to raise top's taxes to 100%. Why not?
No country can work where the burden is put on a few. They, jobs, and innovation will leave the country. In taxes and health care without personal responsibility, "common good" results only in totalitarianism. Government never creates, only consumes.
