Raising Eligibility Ages Is Good for the Budget...and the Economy A Look at CBO's Report on Raising Eligibility Ages
Over the past couple of years, we've been arguing that raising the Social Security and Medicare ages could be an important part of a fiscal reform agenda. In prior posts, we've showed that increasing the Medicare age would protect--and indeed increase benefits -- for the most vulnerable, increasing the Social Security normal retirement age is actually somewhat progressive, and increasing the Social Security early retirement age can help increase benefits for older workers. We've also shown that these policies could lead to substantial budgetary savings and could help grow the economy by encouraging work and savings.
But now readers no longer need to take our word for it, since CBO just released their own report on Raising the Ages of Eligibility for Medicare and Social Security. In evaluating the effects of various age increases, the report finds that raising the Social Security earliest eligibility age (EEA) and normal retirement age (NRA) and raising the Medicare eligibility age (MEA) would reduce the deficit, encourage work, and increase the size of the economy.

Increasing the Medicare Age
In its report, CBO looks at raising the Medicare age by 2 months a year beginning in 2014; to 67 by 2027. According to their estimates, this change would reduce Medicare outlays by $148 billion over ten years, and reduce the deficit by $113 billion on net as a result of other spending. The difference stems mainly from Medicaid and exchange subsidy spending associated with PPACA (health reform) -- which bills such as Coburn-Lieberman require to remain in place for the age increase to occur.
This policy would also give some people an incentive to remain in the workforce a month longer on average, which CBO estimates would increase the size of the labor force and GDP by 0.1 percent. The effect is relatively modest since "virtually everyone affected would have access to health insurance" so long as PPACA remains in place (CBO notes that the labor effects would be greater if the Affordable Care Act health exchanges do not go into effect).
But what would happen to beneficiaries? CBO projects that about five percent (roughly 250,000 in 2021) of those effected would become uninsured, about half (about 2.8 million) would obtain employer-based coverage, and the remaining 2.3 million would obtain coverage from Medicaid, the health exchanges subsidies, or other government sources. These estimates are somewhat similar to a recent Kaiser study, which according to our analysis found that health care costs would be reduced for most seniors making less than 300 percent of the poverty line -- though total national (public and private) health spending would go up.
Increasing the Social Security Ages
CBO also looks at raising the Social Security retirement ages. Specifically, it looks at raising the early retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2025 for $144 billion in savings through 2021 (but negligible long-term savings) and raising the normal retirement age from 67 to 70 by 2035 for $120 billion in savings. It is worth noting that these changes are quite aggressive compared to what is in the political discussion; but while many current policy proposals would increase the ages more slowly, they also tend to continue age increases rather than halting them at a certain level.
Raising these ages would have a much larger effect on beneficiary behavior than the Medicare age, with each causing people to delay retirement by eight months on average. In the case of the EEA increase, those who would otherwise retire before age 64 are estimated on average to work 11 months longer. As a result, raising the two ages would increase the size of the labor force and therefore GDP by one percent each by 2035 and more thereafter. (CBO does not attribute any growth impact which might occur from increased savings resulting from the higher retirement ages).
At the same time, CBO does show that increasing the ages will reduce Social Security's safety net relative to scheduled benefits (although we've shown that this scenario is unsustainable since Social Security is not solvent over the long-run -- and current law calls for a 23 percent cut in 2036 for all beneficiaries in that year as a result). Raising the NRA would effectively reduce benefits for any given age of retirement since continuing to retire at, for example, 67, would result in a "actuarial reduction" in benefit levels.
Raising the EEA to 64 could also be burdensome for some seniors, since it would no longer be possible to retire at age 63 or 64 without a disability. On the other hand, this delay in collection will actually increase annual benefits (by 10 percent for a person who would have retired at 62) since individuals would face smaller "actuarial reductions." In addition, to the extent retirees work longer, they will likely have more retirement savings which could further enhance their retirement security.
CBO does suggest that DI and SSI eligibility could be expanded to accommodate those under 64; a hardship exemption such as the one proposed by the Fiscal Commission might be a possible alternative as well.
The Effects of Raising all Three Ages
The fiscal and economic effects of raising the EEA, NRA, and MEA are quite pronounced according to CBO. Taken together, these changes would increase GDP and the size of the labor force by 2 percent by 2035 and 3 percent by 2060. Using a rule of thumb, they find that this would increase revenue by 0.5 percent of GDP in 2035 and 0.75 percent in 2060 -- in addition to the savings on the spending side of the ledger. These estimates come with the caveat that the actual behavior response to doing all these options at the same time can vary from the sum of their individual responses.
Using CBO's numbers in the report, we were able to reproduce debt held by the public numbers out to 2060 both including and excluding the economic effects. Note that these estimates are very, very rough, so we would definitely not consider them a pinpoint representation of where debt would be, but rather an approximation.
According to our estimates, increasing all three ages and excluding economic effects would reduce the debt by about 10 percent of GDP by 2035 and 40 percent of GDP by 2060. Assuming the higher GDP and higher revenue which CBO estimates would occur from these policies, those numbers nearly double -- leading to debt reduction of about 20 percent of GDP in 2035 and 80 percent of GDP in 2060. And even this could be an underestimate since it assumes no economic gains from individuals saving and therefore investing more.
Not a solution to all of our problems, to be sure, but also not a bad place to start.
Note: Updated 1/19 to incorporate information that raising the EEA would slightly increase outlays in the second half of the century
Raising Age for Social Secuirty and Medicare Benefits
It is simply amazing that after 74 years of SS-OASI and 47 years of Medicare, that the same old proposal of asking those who are currently working to pay for the benefits of those who are no beneficiaries.
A. J. Altmeyer, Chairman
Social Security Board before the House Ways and Means Committee November 27, 1944
"There is no question that the benefits promised under the present Federal old-age and survivors insurance system will cost far more than the 2 percent of payrolls now being collected. As I pointed out in my testimony of last year, none of the actuarial estimates which have been made on the basis of present economic conditions and other factors now clearly discernible result in a level annual cost of this insurance system of less than 4 percent of payroll."
"Indeed, under certain assumptions the level annual cost has been estimated to be as much as 7 percent of payrolls. On the basis of a 4-percent-level annual cost it may be said that the reserve fund of this system already has a deficit of $6,600 million. On the basis of 7-percent-level annual cost it may be said that the reserve fund already has a deficit of about $16,500 million."
Robert Ball
Commissioner of Social Security
1962 and 1973,Wrote June 2005
"When Social Security began, benefits for those nearing retirement age were much higher than could have been paid for by the contributions of those workers and their employers. This was done so that the program could begin paying meaningful benefits even though workers nearing retirement would have only a short time to contribute."
"Instead, the impression is left that the program was sound only when 16 paid in for every one taking out. Thus, of course, when the ratio changed to 3.3 to 1, the program became "unsustainable."
"They ignore the fact that in 1950 only about 15 percent of the elderly were eligible for benefits and that it was expected by all who were acquainted with the program that the ratio would, of course, change dramatically as a greater proportion of the elderly became beneficiaries."
"What in fact happened is that when just about all the elderly first became eligible for Social Security benefits, about 1975, the ratio was 3.3 contributors to each beneficiary and the ratio has stayed that way for the past 30 years. As the baby boom reaches retirement age, as the administration says, the ratio is expected to drop for the long run to 2.0 or 1.9 workers to each retiree. But that is the size of the problem - a drop from 3.3 to 2 workers per retiree."
These two programs suffer the same root cause; no design for long term stability, relying on subsequent generations to pay for current benefits that past workers were unwilling to support 100% themselves.
Another problem is using GDP to measure the cost of programs. The problem with GDP is that GDP does not support these programs, but are funded by dedicated payroll taxes. GDP distorts the problem.
Let me put it very simply; A person born after 1985 can expect at mos to receive 29 cents in benefits for each $1 paid in taxes and credited US Treasury Rate interest. The payroll tax needed to fund the scheduled benefit on an acturial basis is under 6%, but the SS-OASI tax is 10.6%. Raising the retirement age means workers today pay more and for a longer period of time and actually receive less years for the same scheduled benefit. Raising the payroll tax means the worker pays more for the same scheduled benefit. Doing nothing allows the worker pays the same payroll taxes (though 2x that of parents and grandparents) for 76% of scheduled benefits that are not adjusted by COLA (See requirement for COLA payout). COLA is reduced when the ratio of the trust fund to expenses falls below 30% and is eliminated when it is at 20% and across the board cuts in benefits are done to maintain the trust funds at a minimum of 20%.
It is indeed, unconscionable
It is indeed, unconscionable and immoral that current retirees and those nearing retirement are not required, even as cohort groups, to pay for their own retirement benefits. Younger generations are not being treated as well as earlier groups.
As long as the political class that includes politicians like Jeb Bush act dishonestly toward the younger generation we will have immoral programs like Social Security.
Social security should be a forced savings program, not a welfare program.

Lucky Town, 1992
As hushed and solemn as a hymn, Springsteen's ballad from Lucky Town was a tender letter of devotion to wife Scialfa, as they navigated a new life (the couple had their first child in 1990 and were married in 1991). "You and I know what this world can do/So let's make our steps clear that the other may see," he sang. As Springsteen told a 1992 crowd in California, "This is my best song about making even small connections." To achieve that intimate feel, Springsteen played every instrument himself on the track save for the drums, which fell to ex-Steve Miller Band member Gary Mallaber.

Though he's heavy on promotional duties for G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer, Pusha T is carving time into his schedule to finish up his full-length solo debut for Def Jam.
During an interview with Vulture, the Clipse member said that the album is "80 percent done" and that he's hit the studio with The-Dream, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell Williams and Just Blaze. "I'm just doing records, man. It's like 80 percent done," said Pusha. "Me and Dream created a crazy musical bond; Dream is my man. Me and Swizz got some great shit together. I found one [song] from Pharrell I'm really excited about. Just Blaze — I was just in the studio with him and I've been begging to get in the studio with him. Literally, I've been stalking him. Certain people I stalk."
He also revealed that he recently hit the lab with Timbaland and is hoping to record a duet with Missy Elliott. "You know someone I'm gonna Twitter-stalk? I tried to but she don't tweet enough? Missy," he said. "I just went through a whole begging ordeal with Timbaland and I just did a record for him today so he said, 'For sure. I promise you. I can get you on this. Blasé blasé blah.' And I'm sure he can."
Read the full interview at Vulture.com, where he also touches on remixing Chief Keef's "I Don't Like."

Garza was also named to the First Team All-Conference and teammates Shea Shoemaker earned a spot on the Second Team All-HAAC, junior Kyrstie Ehm was selected to the Third Team All-Conference and Wallisch was named to the Honorable Mention All-Conference squad.
"I am extremely proud of what our team has accomplished this season," Lister said. "For the second straight year, we have exceeded preseason expectations and this year we accomplished something that Baker can enjoy and be proud of for a long time as conference champions. To do that, it takes a collective team effort. It also takes individuals playing at a high level.
"I am very proud of BriAnna, Shea, Kyrstie, and Macy for their hard work and contributions to the team. BriAnna went from an honorable mention all-conference player last season to the HAAC Player of the Year this season which says how much she has grown and meant to the success of our team. Shea averaged four points a game last year and is now a second team all-conference player. Kyrstie went from coming off the bench to a third team all-conference performer, and Macy went from a limited role player to the HAAC Defensive Player of the Year and all-conference honorable mention. It shows what hard work and dedication can do and they along with their teammates have been relentless in pushing this program forward."

Davidson College Herpetology Laboratory
SHARE: School Habitats for Amphibian and Reptile Education
An outdoor learning project
Contact with the live animals will give them experience that is much more personal and realistic than photographs or computer images will ever provide.
What is SHARE?
Davidson Herpetoloy lab is working on a new and exciting project this year called SHARE: School Habitats for Amphibian and Reptile Education. This outdoor, low impact monitoring program allows students to safely become familiar with the amphibian and reptile species on thier own school ground. The outdoor monitoring program will further students's knowledge about environmental issues, especially those issues associated with amphibian declines and will facilitate the growth of students's love of learning and care for the environment. Additionally, they will gain hands-on research experience.We have partnered with Davidson Elementary School to create a monitoring station in the forest behind their school. We use simple materials such as coverboards and PVC pipes which incur relatively low start-up costs and little to no maintenance. The design of the monitoring program allows it to be paired with interdisciplinary course-material required by North Carolina currimulum. For example, students might discuss current topics such as amphibian decline and apply the scientific method to their research or they might incorporate rain gauge measurements into math lessons on units of measure. To see an outline for a year of lessons click here. Also the first three lesson are available below. If you are interested in starting your own SHARE program or want to learn more about what we have done, contact Nitya Rao.
The coverboards and PVC pipes are passive shelters for many NC species of small amphibians and reptiles. The animals can come and go as they choose and are ideal for elementary school studies because the animals are not harmed if the shelters are not checked.
What will students learn?
Students cooperate on:
First Three Lessons:
Lessosn 1: Introduction to Herpetology and SHARE (.pdf) (.doc)
Lesson 2: Conservation (.pdf) (.doc)
Lesson 3: Mapping (.pdf) (.doc)
Herpetology flashcards (.pdf) (.doc)
Amphibian Life Cycle (.pdf) (.ppt)
Use these pictures to teach the frog life cycle. Our favorite way is to let students attach them to a hula hoop with velcro.

Keep Tweeting After You Die with LivesOn
A unique new program has been developed that aims to allow Twitter users to continue tweeting long after they're dead.
Created by British ad agency Lean Mean Fighting Machine, LivesOn works by setting up a second Twitter account someone and then studying their tweets, favourites, retweets, and writing style. Eventually—as in by the time that person dies—the LivesOn account will be able to accurately replicate what the now dead user would have been tweeting had they kept on living.
While a user remains alive, accounts are kept private and followed only by the person they're mirroring. Once that user is deceased, a family member or close friend can decide whether or not to make the account public.
LivesOn is described by the ad agency as an artificial intelligence experiment; thusly, the team behind it is small (five people) and there are no plans to monetize the service. So far, the service has 7,000 users awaiting its launch, according to the Canadian Press, which is this month.
We suppose the only real caveat with LivesOn is that it assumes Twitter itself won't die.

The Triangle Oil Refinery Fire- August 18th, 1984
A severe thunder storm moved through the city on the afternoon
of August 18, 1984. At 4:14, p.m. a lightning bold struck Tank 16 at Triangle Refineries' Ocean Terminal, 2470 Talleyrand Ave.
Tank 16, a bulk storage tank with a double-layered floating roof,
contained 1.9 million gallons of premium unleaded gasoline 105 .
A tremendous explosion rocked the area. The blast lifted off more
than half the pontoon's top cover exposing half the roof's cells which were quickly infiltrated by burning fuel. Responding apparatus immediately reported heavy involvement of the tank and requested two special foam units. In the first attack on the fire, the foam blanket appeared to smother the flames, but suddenly the pontoon roof shifted and sank, enraging the fire even more.
Additonal resources were called. Foam was brought in from JIA and NAS Jacksonville to fight the fire. Several fire fighters were called in from home to fight the blaze.
Tank 16 eventually ruptured. Oil quickly overflowed a containment ditch and began threatening fire fighters and the rest of the refinery and surrounding neighborhood. As the oil spread, flames spanning three stories high whisked across Talleyrand Avenue.
After knocking the fire down, a small fire was noticed in tank 14, full of unleaded gasoline. It was quickly extinguished. In all, the event lasted 22 hours.

My kids play an enthralling game called Quick Pick. It goes like this: take two awful, completely exclusionary choices, and in three seconds pick one. The spark lies in instantaneous evaluation of two nasty and permanent life lines.
Such as:
Would you rather work smelling people's armpits for a deodorant company, or cleaning port-o-potties?
Would you rather kill your best friend or marry your worst enemy?
And the age-old: Would you rather be brilliant and ugly, or utterly stupid but beautiful?
A recent New York Times sidebar [1] by Pamela Paul reminded me of this unpleasantly stimulating game. Research from Cornell University, captured in a new book "The Effect of Relative Income Disparity on Infidelity for Men and Women [2]," indicates that men who are economically dependent on their female partners are more likely to cheat. The study, presented in August at the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association, looked at 18-28 year old heterosexuals married or co-habitating for at least one year. Men who were completely dependent upon a female partner's income were five times more likely to cheat. Men who far out earned their wives were ALSO far more likely to cheat (think Tiger Woods). The so-called "Safety Zone" where men are least likely to cheat comes when women earn about 75% of what their men do.
Now I don't know about you, but I've spent far more time and effort in my life educating myself, earning money, unraveling my self-destructive tendencies, and trying to improve my economic state than I have dissecting why men cheat. My first boyfriend, an absolutely lovely, brilliant, passionate guy who loved me dearly and found me sexually irresistible, was a serial cheater. Harsh news for a 15-year-old girl, but I took the lesson about male infidelity as precious as gold: some men cheat, others do not.
I prefer the latter.
Over the decades, I've observed (from afar) many relationships that involved male infidelity. Bedrock knowledge: cheating has nothing to do with women, how much weight we gain after having kids, or whether we wear socks to bed. You can't manipulate someone into staying faithful, no matter how much lingerie you wear, perfume you purchase, or text messages you monitor. Cheating has to do with the cheater, not the cheatee.
Back to the money-and-infidelity conundrum. Pamela Paul looks carefully at the reasons high and low earning men might cheat more. With great sensitivity, the questions are asked: Feelings of inadequacy? Feelings of invincibility? Sociologists have even come up with a catchy moniker to describe the syndrome of under-earners who cheat: Gender Identity Threat. But the obvious reason seems to have been overlooked: Maybe in our patriarchal society some men simply think they can get away with infidelity. Which also explains why the exact opposite dynamic occurs with the fairer sex – women who are totally economically dependent are least likely to cheat. Because we KNOW we cannot get away with it.
I've got to say: I don't care!
I want a man who doesn't cheat on me whether I earn $50 a week or $50,000 or anything in between. Plus I've got a right not to fret over whether my hard-earned paycheck gives some men a right to think they can break my heart. No faithful woman deserves to be cheated on, no matter what.
Quick pick: Would you rather have your own fat paycheck, or a faithful man? I'd take the paycheck any day. And till all my money ran out, I'd keep looking for a man who'd never cheat. Women today can have both. Can't we?

It comes from the olden days and silks. It is pointless now but then the belief was that leaving them inflated would stretch the casing. I'm not sure if it's true or not but that was what was done and why many still do it.

He was riding an expensive road bike with carbon wheels. He is a lean 20-something bike racer, probably cat 2. I was riding a heavy $300 aluminum mail order bike with downtube shifters, toe clips, toe straps, $10 sneakers from Walmart, and baggy sweatpants. I am a 188-pound 44-year-old who has not raced since 1991. I beat him despite the fact that my chain skipped because I need a new chain and cassette. It is very enjoyable to ride faster than guys who have expensive bikes.
To be honest, I did have to stop after the sprint to rest because I felt like my lungs collapsed.

If this is a true story, I feel slightly sad for you. Slightly. OK, your pathetic didn't dent my apathetic.
Watching this thread develop over the past few days has been like watching the little kid next door grow into the most awkward late-teen you've ever met...
Uh oh. I'm looking at Ebay again...
Interesting. In that case, I challenge anyone on this thread to sprints. Best 2 out of 3 wins $200 from the loser. Each race will be one kilometer. I live near Fresno. I will use my $300 aluminum bike with downtube shifters. You can use any bike you wish as long as it does not have a motor, battery, or fairing. I reserve the right to use cycling shoes instead of sneakers. And I will wear cycling shorts instead of sweats.
To be eligible, you must have already posted on this thread. I don't want you to recruit the best sprinter you know.

...can I just send you $200 and not be forced to go to Fresno ? Well worth it.

Norfolk District Begins to Digets NeSA Numbers
NORFOLK - The Nebraska Department of Education has released the latest Nebraska Statewide Accountability – or NeSA – results for reading, math and science, and the new Director of Teaching and Learning at Norfolk Public Schools is generally pleased with the numbers. Beth Nelson says her first impression of the results released today is that students in the Norfolk District are making progress – but she also plans to look more deeply at the numbers. Nelson says reading and math proficiency in grades four and five have increased as much as seven percent. She urges parents to look at their child's individual results in relation to last year's scores. She says if a child has improved, the parent needs to recognize the hard work that has gone into that improvement. And if scores are down from last year, Nelson suggests a conversation with the student to determine if something might have affected this year's numbers. Anyone with questions about the NeSA results is urged to call Nelson at 402-644-2508 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well hello there Marky Mark! Everybody's favorite rapper gone legitimately amazing actor, Mark Wahlberg, was spotted enjoying the Miami sun on his balcony. Mark is currently in Miami filming Pain & Gain. Umm, sure. That sounds like fun.
I'm really digging the whole white pants thing he's got going. It's kinda weird seeing him with no tattoos. Guess he was super serious about lasering them all off. Also, my god is he buff. Like, obviously I knew he is, but his biceps just seem super huge this time around. Anybody else think so?
Check out all the photos of shirtless Mark in the gallery. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I mean, how could you be? It's Marky Mark, he's buff, he's shirtless, he's waving to fans–it's a win-win for everyone!

WASHINGTON — The Iraq Study Group report released Wednesday might well be titled "The Realist Manifesto."
From the very first page, in which co-chairs James Baker and Lee Hamilton scold that "our leaders must be candid and forthright with the American people," the bipartisan report is nothing less than a repudiation of the Bush administration's diplomatic and military approach to Iraq and to the whole region.
Throughout its pages, the report reflects the foreign-policy establishment's disdain for the "neoconservative" policies long espoused by President Bush and his aides. But while many of its recommendations stem from the "realist" school of foreign policy, it is unclear whether a radically different approach could make much difference nearly four years after the invasion of Iraq.
The administration's effort to spread democracy to Arab lands is not mentioned in the report, except to note briefly that most countries in the region are wary of it. The report urges direct talks with Iran and Syria, both of which the administration largely has shunned.

It also calls for placing new emphasis on resolving the Israel-Arab conflict, including pressing Israel to reach a peace deal with Syria, on the grounds that the issue shapes regional attitudes about the U.S. involvement in Iraq.
Overall, it strongly suggests that Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have bungled diplomacy in the region with unrealistic objectives and narrow strategies.
"We took a very pragmatic approach because all of these people up here are pragmatic public officials," Hamilton said, referring to the five Democrats and five Republicans who unanimously endorsed the report's conclusions and recommendations.
In a lengthy preamble to the recommendations titled "Assessment," the report gives a dispassionate account of the "grave and deteriorating" situation in Iraq, echoing books and news reports that the administration had previously criticized as one-sided or overly negative. The report's description of the violence in Iraq likely will set the new baseline for how the Iraq conflict is portrayed.
"The ability of the United States to influence events within Iraq is diminishing," the report warns.
The report is replete with damning details about the administration's inept handling of Iraq. It notes, for instance, that only six people in the 1,000-person U.S. embassy in Baghdad can speak Arabic fluently. It recounts how the military counted 93 acts of violence in one day in July when the group's re-examination of the data found 1,100. "Good policy is difficult to make when information is systematically collected in a way that minimizes discrepancy with policy goals," the report said.
The report calls for seeing Iraq differently, for scaling back the administration's goals and for ending the president's open-ended commitments to the war-torn country. It also argues that the administration should support a "far-reaching" amnesty of insurgent fighters, pointedly warning that neither the executive nor legislative branches should try to undermine an amnesty program.
White House spokesman Tony Snow countered Wednesday that many issues raised in the report are being discussed and addressed by the administration. "You're asking if that is a repudiation of policy," he said. "No, it's an acknowledgment of reality."
On both the diplomatic and military fronts, the report differs sharply from the administration's current approach. Perhaps befitting a panel with two former secretaries of state — Lawrence Eagleburger is also a member — a large section of the report outlines what it labels "the New Diplomatic Offensive."
The section appears to be an implicit rebuke of policies pursued by Rice, arguing that her current efforts to build a regional "compact for Iraq" are too narrow, that her efforts to engage moderate Arab states lack ambition and that her pursuit of Israeli-Palestinian peace needs to be reinvigorated.
Bush has shunned a hands-on role in the issue, but the report said "the United States does its ally Israel no favors in avoiding direct involvement to solve the Arab-Israel conflict."
"Everybody said that if you're going to settle Iraq, it is important that you do what you can to settle Israel-Palestine," Eagleburger said. The report makes no mention of the moribund U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan.
The report also urges high-level talks with Iran and Syria without preconditions. The panel noted, for instance, that Iran was helpful in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban — but that moment probably has passed, now that Iran and Syria believe the United States is on the ropes.
Baker, who said "you talk to your enemies, not just your friends," suggested one goal of such talks would be to show others in the region that Iran and Syria want Iraq to fail.
Outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also comes in for pointed commentary, with the group's 46th recommendation being that his successor repair relations with the top military brass.

Each to their own....
by sagraincasa
In ten days time we start to harvest our grapes ,we hope we will be helped by many of our friends and family who will also bring their children, so I thought I'd do a little practice and make this chocolate cake.
I need practice because ... if you look on the left part of the website, under categories, you will see that out of a total of 197 recipes, only 9 are cakes .... unfortunately, I'm not very good at making them.
But anyway, to avoid a disaster on the day of the harvest I thought now is a good time to do the test of this almond and hazelnut gluten free chocolate cake because, Nicks mum Jackie and her friend Ida are here for a late relaxing summer holiday (or so they thought) . BUT I thought while they are sitting in the shade on the porch sipping a large Gin and tonic it would be very helpful if they shelled a BIG bag of nuts picked from our almond and hazelnut trees (the main ingredients of this cake) also I just happened to have 2 pairs of nut crackers....unfortunately Ida managed to pinch her skin a few times but she was very brave and only moaned a little .Although chocolate cake may not seem suitable when it could be 35 degrees outside it will give our helpers energy and they will need it.....there are 4 tons of grapes to pick!
The hard work didn't finish there because I kept reading the weighing scales wrong saying we need more and more ,finally after a couple of hours I got it right and we had the 400 grams needed and just had to remove the skins from the almonds which also was not an easy job to do.
Maybe I should have chosen a Ciambellone ( sponge cake) , I think even a wedding cake would have been easier but of course the real answer is to buy the prepared nuts from the supermarket.......but still we did it.
My worse critic Nick , and Jackie and Ida did the tasting and all agreed it was good but they would prefer it served with ice-cream , but I'm not sure if this was because the texture was more like biscuit or was it because the English I know seem to prefer cream or ice-cream with their cake .
Each to their own is I believe the answer to that.
for the recipe please go to my blog www.sagraincasa.com grazie

Merry Christmas
Tuesday, December 24, 2013
Today is Christmas Eve and I am looking forward to getting together with family and friends. I already enjoyed some good company and food. This year Lavinia is celebrating the holidays in Nova Scotia with her Dad and his family. I do miss her and Christmas is not the same without her, but I am still thankful that I am here on PEI and surrounded by family and friends.
My wish for this Christmas and the next year is for me to have courage to do what it takes to pursue a teaching position for next year. The next school year, Lavinia will be with her father and is the perfect timing for me to get some experience in a career I love. The problem is that I will most likely have to go elsewhere. I feel like after being trapped in Nova Scotia for so many years that I don�t want to leave the Island. It is so hard to get a job here since so many families are moving out west. Every year more teaching jobs are reduced. Since I am already starting this career late in life, I really don�t have the years to wait and go through the process it takes to get a full time job if I can just go elsewhere. I am single and free to go. Nothing is stopping me, except fear. It is time to shake that fear and just go for it. This next year, other than still maintaining a healthy lifestyle is to work on my career.
I was looking at my 40 before 40 challenge and was finding that I don�t have too many new experiences. The whole point of the challenge is to have me step out of my comfort zone and try new things. This I obviously still need to work on.
I wish Lavinia has a really good year. I am very pleased she is doing well in school and in 4-H. I hope she also has fun in swimming lessons in January. I am going back to my old job so will have Sundays off and will be able to take her. I feel bad about not taking her earlier in the year but just am not sure how I was able to do it until the house sold. Even now, things will be tight but I will make it happen. I worry about her going to Junior High next year. I hope she adjusts well. She is so young for Junior High. At least she has an independent spirit and does her own thing. I hope that serves her well. I hope she has a very merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday. I can�t wait to talk to her tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas with family and friends.

Hi Ethan,
These look great! Can you add one more column of choices with the
heading "Failed Test Runs" which would be the same as "Test Runs",
but without the entries that had zero failures.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you also add a "Past 48
Hours" section,
but this is lower priority than adding a "Failed Test Runs" column.

|3rd International Workshop on
Knowledge Discovery from Sensor Data
|Held in conjunction with
Call for Papers
Wide-area sensor infrastructures, remote sensors, RFIDs, and wireless sensor networks yield massive volumes of disparate, dynamic, and geographically distributed data. As such sensors are becoming ubiquitous, a set of broad requirements is beginning to emerge across high-priority applications including adaptability to climate change, disaster preparedness and management, national or homeland security, and the management of critical infrastructures. The raw data from sensors need to be efficiently managed and transformed to usable information through data fusion, which in turn must be converted to predictive insights via knowledge discovery, ultimately facilitating automated or human-induced tactical decisions or strategic policy based on decision sciences and decision support systems. The main motivation for this workshop stems from the increasing need for a forum to exchange ideas and recent research results, and to facilitate collaboration and dialog between academia, government, and industrial stakeholders. This is clearly reflected in the successful organization of the first workshop along with KDD-2007 and second workshop along with KDD -2008. The theme for this year workshop is around the three inter-related global priorities: climate change, energy assurance, and infrastructural impacts.
We solicit high quality papers in the general areas of knowledge discovery from sensors and streams and in areas relating to the theme of this year workshop.
Manuscripts should be in English and must not exceed 9 pages using the standard ACM format found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates in PDF format and submitted as an email attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com. Submissions should include the paper title, author(s), authors' affiliations, email addresses, tel/fax numbers, postal addresses, and an abstract on the first page.

Feb 5 2009Want A Mini-Robot Version Of Yourself?
If you answered yes, I want you to leave your name and address in the comments section, as I'd like to send you some
anthrax literature. You will not be saved. But, for the sake of my Pulitzer, I'll report on these devilish little bastards anyway. Available from Little Island for a little over $2,000, the little creeps serve as a VoIP phone so you can talk "face to face" to you family or pets while you're away. But wait, there's a little more!
Unfortunately, the "robot" doesn't appear to actually have many true robot abilities, although it does have a built-in camera to let you check out its surroundings via a connected computer, and it's apparently able to do a few basic tasks like read your RSS feeds or check the weather. The bot is also essentially just a plush PC itself (complete with a 500MHz Geode processor), so there's certainly plenty of opportunity to expand its capabilities for those so inclined.
Oh my God, you're actually considering one aren't you? You are sicker than I expected. And let me tell you, I expected at least a 9 of out 10. And to think, your parents said you'd never be a 10 at anything. You showed them!
Little Island promises to craft you in creepy robot form [engadget]
Thanks to Julian, who had a robot version of himself until it drank his last beer and had to be scrapped.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max started building robots and selling them at Wal-Mart. They were cheap and easy to operate and could do manual labor that people didn't like to do. When they finally became pervasive in society, they demanded equal rights. Thiis meant that people couldn't own them anymore. They mostly went on welfare, and went to work making more robots who also went on welfare. Eventually a robot was elected president of the USA.
Daisy's the man! (errrr WOman)

@18 there IS a 70's movie that was quite horrible called tendre dracula... i am assuming that the american spelling "tender" threw you off
daisy sucks, she needs to get a new joke
@Daisy - Wait a minute, that's actually happened for real, not a movie. Barack Osama is a robot! You can tell that because the shadows are all wrong, Barack Osama is supposed to be 50% niggar, but the pale complexion of his skin give him away.
I tried to use the word niggar:
Oops, you used a bad word.
Then I rewrote it as niggar instead, OK NOW I've been cen-sored! Fu-cking politically correct liberals!
You can tell this is real and not photoshopped because there are correct shadows.
This is like that scene in Geekologie where Daisy was a robot and people found out and reprogrammed her to not make fu-ck-tard comments on the comments sections so people can actually discuss the topic of the article
I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them

PULLMAN, Wash. - Sophomore Beau Bremer scored a goal and added an assist to lead Washington State women's soccer past Eastern Washington 2-0 in an exhibition match, Friday at Lower Soccer Field.
The Cougars, which held an 18-3 advantage in shots, broke through late in the 32nd minute when Bremer scored from the left side of the box off a set piece. Senior Brandi Vega, an All-Pac-12 First Team selection in 2011 who tied for team lead in assists a year ago, set up Bremer for the goal.
Washington State added its second goal early in the 44th minute when sophomore Korynn Blanksma converted from three yards out off a cross from Bremer.
"We were really good in the first 35 (minutes) or so," Cougar Head Coach Keidane McAlpine said. "The team came out really strong and we created some chances."
Washington State controlled the run of play for most of the match, earning nine corner kicks to the Eagles' one. Gurveen Clair, a redshirt-sophomore, and senior Ariana Byrd split time in goal with neither being forced to make a save.
The Cougars open their regular season, Sunday when they host Gonzaga at 3 p.m. Admission is free at Lower Soccer Field.
The match attendance was 793...Washington State averaged a school-record 856 fans last season...Keidane McAlpine, the Cougars' first-year head coach, will make his "official" debut, Sunday.

Military industry's to shift to drone-based air force within 40 to 50 years, IAF official says
Associated Press
Published: 04.21.13, 21:58 / Israel News
Associated Press
A high-ranking Israeli Air Force officer said Israel
aims to develop drones that can execute nearly every battlefield operation performed today by piloted aircraft.
The official said that Israel's military industry
is on the path to developing such technology within 40 to 50 years.
Related stories:
The officer, who works in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle intelligence, spoke Sunday in a rare interview to The Associated Press. He spoke anonymously because of the classified nature of his work.
"There is a process happening now of transferring tasks from manned to unmanned vehicles,"
the officer said. "This trend will continue to become stronger."
Israel is a world leader in drone technology. The officer claimed the country was second only to the United States in the range of unmanned aerial systems its produces.
He said he was "aware" that American drones are capable of firing missiles, but refused to say whether Israeli drones
could do the same, despite dozens of witness accounts from the Gaza Strip
who attest to seeing the small craft shoot missiles.
The officer said Israel also looks to develop tactical satellites for military use.

The Truth About Vitamin E
It doesn't stave off heart disease, so who should take it?
WebMD Feature
March 27, 2000 (Petaluma, Calif.) -- When Alice Nadler heard the latest on vitamin E, she began to wonder if the experts really know what they're talking about. "I've been taking vitamin E for a couple of years, ever since my doctor recommended it as a way to lower my risk of heart disease," says the 40-year-old mother of two boys, who lives in Northern California. "So now they're saying it may not?"
Like Nadler, many Americans began popping vitamin E -- now one of the top-selling supplements nationwide -- a few years ago after studies suggested that it might protect against heart disease. In one study published in Lancet in 1996, men and women with cardiovascular disease who took the vitamin each day cut their risk of a second heart attack almost in half. In 1993, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published findings from a five-year Chinese study that followed nearly 30,000 adults. Those who took vitamin E supplements were 9% less likely to die during the study period.
Many researchers cautioned that more investigations were needed to confirm the power of E. But privately, some also admitted that they were taking a daily dose of the vitamin themselves, because the initial findings looked so good.
High Hopes Take a Tumble
Now comes news from a January 20, 2000 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that the golden pill may
not live up to its promise. Canadian researchers tracked 2,545 women and 6,996
men aged 55 or older who took either vitamin E or a dummy pill. After five
years, those taking the vitamin were no better off than those taking the dummy
pill, suffering just as many heart attacks, strokes, and deaths from
cardiovascular disease. The findings, ironically, are part of a study called
HOPE, or the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation.

Impact craters are formed when impactors such as meteorites smash into the moon's surface. The factors affecting the appearance of impact craters include the size and velocity of the impactor and the geology of the surface. Students will use flour, baking soda and cornmeal to recreate a lunar surface. They will then drop impactors such as marbles onto their lunar surface from various heights. Finally, they will measure various characteristics of the impact craters formed.

Announcing Changes to Academic DivisionsMay 21, 2014
The current divisions of Humanities and Social Science will merge and become the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences. This change sets up exciting opportunities for the continued development of new programs within the Communication and Media Arts division (including journalism and cross-divisional collaborations with Business and Theatre Arts), while creating an exciting space in which Humanities and Social Sciences faculty can enhance existing programs, and collaborate on new ones.
Given the intimate relationship between the politically informed work done in the Humanities and the kind of hermeneutic social criticism done by the members of the Social Sciences division, these changes also represent an opportunity to demonstrate MMC's interdisciplinary character, and how it facilitates such creative synergies.
The three-year terms of Peter Naccarato (Humanities) and Manolo Guzman (Social Sciences) are drawing to a close, and Bradley Herling will be the chair of the new division.
The College thanks Professors Naccarato and Guzman for their leadership and guidance these last three years, congratulates the faculty in the new divisions on their new structure, and welcomes Professors Tropp and Herling as the newest division chairs.
These changes will go into effect July 1.

India-Canada seek to rebuild ties on the plank of energy cooperation
Nov 08 2012
Addressing a business gathering in Delhi, visiting Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper likened the situation on the free trade talks to a Hindi film where two young people meet, "know they are meant for each other", but have to overcome several obstacles before coming together. It's similar with the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement and sale of uranium for Indian nuclear plants.
The warmth in India-Canada ties was ruptured over Ottawa's belief that India had diverted plutonium from a Canadian-built reactor for its nuclear test in 1974. Canada's disregard of Indian complaints over Sikh radicalism morphing into extremist activities in that country further froze ties. With Canada becoming the hotbed for Khalistani activism, Sikh extremists bombed an Air India flight killing 331 persons, mostly Canadian citizens. New Delhi resented the tardy investigations by Canadian authorities, resulting in delayed conviction of the accused.
In recent years, the two countries have found many geopolitical and strategic reasons to improve economic and political ties, with the emergence of a large and growing Indian diaspora in Canada, numbering over a million that maintains deep family ties with India. Minorities have come to play a crucial role in the country's politics with most political parties actively woo them in order to demonstrate a wider support base. Indians in Canada are not spread out across the country, but concentrated in a few pockets, where they play a significant role in local politics. The Indian community has actively pushed the Canadian government towards making greater efforts to strengthen ties with India.
Canada, which has withstood the recession that has hit neighbouring United States hard, has since been looking to diversify its economic engagement with emerging economies. Following its strong linkages with China in the past few years, Canada is now seriously looking to India, with a regular stream of business delegations from both countries visiting each other in the past couple of years. With almost 23,000 Indian students in Canadian campuses, it is also keen to attract more scholars.
The two sides have targeted bilateral trade to go up from the present $5 billion to $15 billion in 2015. This will require Canada to export more than lentils and peas (about 40 per cent of India's imports from that country), potash and wood pulp to high tech items.
A major hurdle on the nuclear cooperation was overcome during a meeting of the two prime ministers, Manmohan Singh and Harper. The nuclear cooperation deal was signed in 2010 during Singh's visit to Toronto, but the sale of uranium for Indian reactors was stuck on Ottawa's insistence that it should be allowed to monitor the process to ensure that Canadian uranium was used for peaceful purposes alone. India was unwilling to allow any form of intrusive monitoring, and the two sides finally agreed to set up a joint committee to oversee exports of bomb-grade radioactive substance.
India is not only attracted to Canadian uranium, but also comprehensive nuclear technology as well as shale gas. Natural gas from Canada is much cheaper than gas imported from the Gulf, enough to offset the higher transportation costs. ONGC has shown interest in acquiring a stake in a Canadian shale oil company. Energy could become the driving force for deepening India-Canada ties in the future.

by Meredith O'Brien
The drama and the messy, personal fall-out for political wives, both on TV and in real life, continues unabated. From two primetime shows, HBO's Big Love [1] and CBS' The Good Wife [2], to Elizabeth Edwards, wives have been continuing to serve as collateral damage, sacrificed, humiliated and placed in untenable positions all in the name of their husband's political ambitions.
On Big Love, which just concluded its fourth season, polygamist Bill Henrickson blew off the vigorous and well articulated concerns of his three wives who told him they didn't want him to go public about their plural marriage if he won the state senate race. However after he won the election, during his acceptance speech he called each wife, one by one, to join him in front of a bank of news cameras and out themselves as polygamists because he believed that if "normal" polygamists step into the spotlight, the public image of plural marriage could be improved.
The reaction of his first wife, Barb to all of this was the most poignant, as not only was she ardently against announcing their polygamy for fear of her family's safety, but she leaked the fact that Bill had gotten a woman pregnant to the media the night before the election hoping it would kill Bill's candidacy. The whole out-of-wedlock pregnancy was a violation of the Henrickson's marriage's rules, Barb asserted, because when Bill had courted the woman as a potential fourth wife the two had premarital sex – a plural marriage dating "no-no" -- which led to the baby's conception. Couple this with the fact that Barb found out that Bill also had premarital relations with the third wife before they got married, and Barb felt thoroughly betrayed, personally and publicly by her narcissistic husband. It's unclear whether in season five, she'll remain the Utah state senator's good first wife.
Speaking of good wives . . . on The Good Wife, Alicia Florrick has been conflicted from the first episode of this freshman drama when her husband Peter was behind bars, found guilty for being a criminally corrupt state's attorney who'd slept with a number of call girls. An added dose of mortification for Alicia came when videos of her husband with the call girls were widely circulated on the internet (and seen by their two teenagers), followed by one of the escorts making the rounds of TV interviews and saying that Alicia couldn't please her husband in bed.
Alicia, a lawyer who'd been out of the field for a decade in order to raise the kids and support Peter's political career, had to sell the house in the 'burbs, move to Chicago and get a job at a law school buddy's firm starting at the bottom of the food chain where she was competing with fresh twentysomething law school grads. Just as she was starting to get her bearings, Peter was released from prison and placed under house arrest. While trapped in the apartment, Peter unilaterally decided to hire political consultants to consider whether he should run for office again without seriously consulting Alicia, meaning their marriage and his cheating would again become grist for the media. In a recent episode, Peter's consultants asked a pastor to visit Peter's apartment to counsel him about the error of his ways so they'd be able to get photos taken of the respected minister leaving Peter's home, which, the aides hoped, would help him politically.
The Good Wife hasn't been predictable as Alicia has maintained a great poker face, unwilling to say whether she's really going to forgive Peter and go along with him entering politics again. When she was recently tempted to get romantically involved with her law school buddy after a late, frustrating night of work, Alicia resisted and instead went home and had sex with Peter for the first time since the scandal broke. But afterward, she wasn't all lovey-dovey and kept her feelings very close to the vest. I always wonder what wives of politicians who are publicly known to have cheated on them, think about their predicaments and why they sometimes choose to allow him rejoin the family and return to the public arena. Not having any personal experience in this area, the depiction of Alicia Florrick has the feeling of authenticity.
Unfortunately, in real life in the past week, a non-fiction version of a wife having her personal life turned into tabloid fodder played out again. (And no, I'm not talking about Oscar winner Sandra Bullock.) A new chapter in the truly awful saga of Elizabeth and John Edwards [3], who have legally separated, was written after a GQ interview [4] with John Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter -- who has a 2-year-old by Edwards, fathered during the 2008 presidential campaign – was published. Alongside several photos of Hunter posing among a child's stuffed toys while wearing a man's white dress shirt and no pants, there was a lengthy Q&A where Hunter depicted Elizabeth Edwards, a mother of three who has terminal cancer, as a wife who consistently emasculated her husband and victimized her husband with emotional abuse. ". . . [T]he wrath of Elizabeth is a mighty wrath," Hunter told GQ, while noting that there were "other women" before her with whom John Edwards had been involved, adding a dollop more embarrassment to the story.
Though, by the time I finished reading the article I did wind up feeling pity for Hunter – who came across as in denial and wildly in love with a man who, because of political ambition, was willing to lie about her, lie about their child and have another man publicly pretend to be his child's father – I felt enormous sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards. The Hunter interview resurrected this sordid subject, prompting People Magazine to put Elizabeth Edwards on its cover with the headline, "How Much More Can She Take? [5]" Well, if you're a political wife, apparently you're supposed to take a whole lot of public embarrassment, both in the land of fiction and in real life.
