The Flip video camera is just one of the casualties of a multi-tiered shutdown for CISCO. The company announced this morning that a restructuring will take place, which will not only discontinue the Flip, but cut 550 jobs. The purpose of the shake-up is to allow the company to focus its attention on the profitability of the home networking business.
CISCO CEO John Chambers recently issued a press release admitting problems in the networking company, stating that lack of discipline and slow decision making are to blame. So, after spending $590 million in 2009 on the purchase of Pure Digital (the company that originally produced the Flip), Chambers has decided it's best to shut down Flip production as part of its consumer business reform.
The FlipShare service, which allows users to share their homemade videos online, will continue to serve its customers and promises to come up with a transition plan, despite the changes at CISCO.
Smartphones equipped with cameras have taken from the sales of handheld video cameras, not excluding the Flip. This particular camera, however, has been popular in recent years, especially considering the prominence of YouTube, because of its convenient size and user-friendly manageability. It has earned praise from celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Beyonce, and even the all powerful Oprah. We use one here at eZanga to document our accolades, public appearances, and many practical jokes. As Flip users, it's unfortunate to see the Flip flop.

Today, the Human Rights Council in Geneva took important action on the situation in Syria, voting on a resolution addressing the horrific massacre that took place in Houla less than a week ago. The resolution calls for an in-depth investigation by the independent international Commission of Inquiry on Syria into the massacre in Houla, in which over 100 Syrian civilians were killed, including over 40 children.
Our message is clear: to the people of Syria, the world stands by you, and we will not ignore your plight in the face of ongoing violence; to the Assad regime, the time has come to end the flagrant abuses of the human rights of your people and to step aside so that Syria can transition peacefully and democratically.

Radicals, Reformers, and Reactionaries : The Prisoner's Dilemma and the…

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0226112721, Paperback)
Latin American democracies of the sixties and seventies, most theories hold, collapsed because they had become incompatible with the structural requirements of capitalist development. In this groundbreaking application of game theory to political phenomena, Youssef Cohen argues that structural conditions in Latin American countries did not necessarily preclude the implementation of social and economic reforms within a democratic framework.
Focusing on the experiences of Chile and Brazil, Cohen argues that what thwarted democratic reforms in Latin America was a classic case of prisoner's dilemma. Moderates on the left and the right knew the benefits of coming to a mutual agreement on socio-economic reforms. Yet each feared that, if it cooperated, the other side could gain by colluding with the radicals. Unwilling to take this risk, moderate groups in both countries splintered and joined the extremists. The resulting disorder opened the way for military control.
Cohen further argues that, in general, structural explanations of political phenomena are inherently flawed; they incorrectly assume that beliefs, preferences, and actions are caused by social, political, and economic structures. One cannot explain political outcomes, Cohen argues, without treating beliefs and preferences as partly independent from structures, and as having a causal force in their own right.

In my tireless attempt to save the experience of moviegoing in theaters, I urge dedicated filmgoers to check out "The Devil's Miner" this weekend at New York's Cinema Village. For a Tribeca fest preview last year, I called the movie "a gorgeously photographed and harrowing portrait of a fatherless indigenous 14-year-old working as a silver minor in "the mountain that eats men," Bolivia's famous Cerro Rico. Both a fascinating human rights expose and a touching coming-of-age document, 'The Devil's Miner' is the kind of subtle, cultural study that is easily lost amidst the hype of a big film festival."
Providing even more of a precious chance for cinephillic thrills, Anthology Film Archives is running a series of films by the brilliant Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke. Tomorrow, Saturday, they're showing his Bressonian low-budget "The Pickpocket" (3:45pm), the wonderfully subversive Godardian pop teen film "Unknown Pleasures" (6pm) and last year's sorrowful globalization theme-park masterpiece "The World" (8:30pm). Pack some snacks and check them out. All three must be seen on the big screen.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0573662878, Paperback)Drama / 5m, 6f Millions of Iraqis, spanning the country's religious and ethnic spectrum, welcomed the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. But the mostly young men and women who embraced America's project so enthusiastically that they were prepared to risk their lives for it by aiding the U.S. forces constitute a small minority. On a cold, wet night in January 2007, George Packer met two such Iraqi men in the lobby of the Palestine Hotel, in central Baghdad to hear their story and those of other Iraqis working as translators and additional key personnel for the U.S. military and occupation authorities. They assumed that their perspective would be valuable to foreigners who knew little or nothing of Iraq. But instead of respect and gratitude, those who chose to help bridge the gap between the occupiers and the occupied were met with suspicion and hostility. They have been killed by insurgents and militias, ignored by U.S. officials, fired from their jobs without reason or recourse, and prevented from fleeing to the States for safety. Based on Packer's account in The New Yorker, Betrayed is a riveting and morally complex drama that explores in the Iraqis' own words the ways in which we have already abandoned them. It will have its world premiere in January 2008, off-Broadway at the Culture Project. "...the clarity of the writing, the urgency of the story being told ... give the play a sharp dramatic impact and a plain-spoken beauty. Painful human experience is presented here as just that. Nothing else is necessary to awaken sympathy, despair and awareness of a grave moral failure on the part of the American government." - New York Times

SL Benfica
In 1961 Benfica made the incredible, it won the 6th edition of the European Cup tournament, surpassing the best teams in Europe. In the final it won Barcelona, which had won legendary Real Madrid in the semi finals. The same Real Madrid that had won the title 5 consecutive times until then. 3 prolific scorers; Jose Aguas, Jose Augusto and Santana took Benfica to the final in which it won 3:2 with goals of Aguas and Coluna and an own goal of Barcelona. The remarkable achievement of winning the European title repeated itself a year later, when Benfica won Real Madrid 5:3, this time with its new and legendary player, Eusebio.
By the end of 1962 All football fans around the world were sure that a Benfica era is at the gate. There was only one problem. The contract of the coach Bela Guttman, who had led the team to these two consecutive wins, was not prolonged. It turned out to be a fatal mistake. The Curse of Bela Guttman has become synonymous with club. Ever since the dismissal of Guttman the club appeared in 8 finals of European tournaments (5 European Cups and 3 UEFA Cups), losing them all.
The club was inaugurated in a historical meeting held in 1904 in which 24 men decided the colors of the club (red and white representing bravery and peace) and the vulture in the crest. The official name with which the club appears till today, Sport Lisboa e Benfica, was given in 1908.
The first national title was won in the 1935-1936 season, a year after the inauguration of the Portuguese league, it was the first one in three consecutive wins. In 1940 the first Portuguese Cup was won. These titles were the firsts in a long list of titles. Benfica has won the Primeira Liga a record number of 33 times. It also owns the record of winning the Portuguese cup (Taça de Portugal) 25 times, 4 of them consecutively. Benfica has won the double title 10 times, which is yet another record. In 2014 Benfica achieved a historical record of winning all 4 Portuguese possible titles in one season.
The glorious times of the club are without a doubt the 1960s. During this decade Benfica appeared in 5 European Cups finals, winning the trophy twice. They won the national championship 8 times and the national cup 3 times. The legendary symbol of the club, Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, was at his pick, and was considered by many as one of the best football players of his time ( and according to some, was even topping Pele). The following years were also good for the club. In the 1970s, it won 6 championships. In the 1980s it won 5 championships and 5 cups and in 1988 and 1990 reached the final of the European Cup under Sven-Göran Eriksson management. In the early 1990s Benfica won some additional titles but a period of decline started for the club. Between 1996 and 2004 it did not win any title.
In recent years it looks like Benfica is getting back to its natural place amongst the leading clubs in Europe. Double and consecutive appearances in the UEFA League final in 2013 and 2014 and a historical season regarding national titles (2013-2014) give a lot of hope to its fans for the upcoming seasons.
Record holders at the club are: Nene, with 575 appearances(between 1968 -1986) and Eusebio with 474 goals in 440 matches (between 1960-1975).
The club plays at the beautiful new Estadio da Luz (The Stadium of Light) which was inaugurated in October 2003. It has a capacity of 65,647 seats. This stadium replaced the old Estadio da Luz, which at a time (between 1985 and 1994) was the biggest stadium in Europe, with a capacity to contain 120,000 spectators.
Under Jorge Jesus who has managed the club since 2009 and with some remarkable players such as: Lima, Nicolas Gaitan, goal keeper Julio Cesar, Talisca and Maxi Pereira Benfica will try to continue the great momentum of the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons.

An abstract approach to Bohr's phenomenon
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: In 1914 Bohr discovered that there exists such that if a power series converges in the unit disk and its sum has modulus less than , then for the sum of absolute values of its terms is again less than . Recently analogous results were obtained for functions of several variables. Our aim here is to present an abstract approach to the problem and show that Bohr's phenomenon occurs under very general conditions.

How to Trade Commodities
Trading commodities can be rewarding, but it can also be frustrating, because the market is so volatile. To trade commodities successfully, you cannot let your emotions dictate your actions. Instead, you should rely on a trading system. Learn more about trading systems and commodities in general by taking advantage of your online broker's educational resources. Here is how to trade commodities.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Read news about commodities to come up with trading ideas. Make it a daily habit to read the financial news on commodities. You will get a picture of how the market is doing. Find out if crude oil fell today and by how much. Learn, for example, that the price of gold has been trending up for the past month because investors are uncertain about the economy. Financial news websites, including Bloomberg, Investor's Business Daily, and the Wall Street Journal, will let you know when futures contracts are about to expire. Reading these sources can help you decide what commodities to trade.
2Use technical analysis to study commodities. Now that you have an idea about which commodities you want to take a closer look at, you should use technical analysis. This consists of predicting the direction of a commodity's price by investigating its past price behavior, meaning changes in volume and price.
3Study charts for identifying patterns. Study charts to visually identify patterns and trends. These patterns can let you see if a commodity might be topping or bottoming out. Identifying these patterns can help you decide if you should buy or sell a particular commodity. Some of the most common patterns are:
- Head and shoulders top
- Triple top
- Double bottom
- Double top
4Employ technical indicators. To get a better understanding of where a commodity is trending, apply technical indicators. These are mathematical formulas involving price and volume. Two of the most widely-used indicators are moving averages and the relative strength index.
5Develop a trading methodology. Devising a trading system does not just involve using technical analysis. There are a few things you must consider before executing any trades, such as setting up entry and exit strategies. For example, you should employ stop orders to protect your money. Good money-management skills are crucial when trading commodities. They are important in preserving your capital.
6Test your trading system with simulated trading. Don't be too quick to put your money at risk. Instead, test your trading system. You can see how your system would have fared if you had actually used it in the marketplace. Most online brokerage firms offer this service free for thirty days. Simulated trading comes equipped with features such as real-time quotes and real-time indicators and charts.
7Open an online trading account. Fill out the brokerage firm's application and wait for approval. For faster service, complete the application online. Keep in mind there's a minimum-balance requirement you must meet. Ask your broker what the minimum balance is for their company.

After hanging out with the Zapatista Liberation Army in Mexico for a few years and a stint in Rwanda, taking pictures of teenagers sounds like it would be an absurdly simple assignment. Photojournalist Robin Bowman has 22 years in the field, but her experience photographing U.S. teens wasn't what she would call easy.
Adding 21,173 miles to her car over five years to create 419 "collaborative portraits" of teenagers, Bowman went in search of youth from different socioeconomic, religious and ethnic groups. And she did it because she wanted to, not because someone told her to.
"I had come out of Rwanda and I felt like I needed to do something meaningful," says Bowman, a Cincinnati native who now lives in Maine. "I've done a lot of meaningful stories, but I needed something that was my own voice. Ultimately, you end up doing stories and you have no control over it once you hand over the film. And you certainly have no control over the words, because I wasn't reporting.
"I got sick of working for magazines.
It was always factual, but there was a sugar-coated ending. They never approached it from the same perspective I would, and I never felt like they were sincere or honest enough."
What began as a visit to a friend's family in Canada became the inspiration for the book It's Complicated: The American Teenager, published in November 2007 by Umbrage Editions. Bowman says she didn't encounter many teens while living in a New York City loft, so spending a week in Canada talking to and hanging out with the 13- to 19-year-old set was eye opening.
"I didn't know much about teenagers," she says. "Teenagers, in the summer time, go through this major growth spurt. They're away from their peers and they're just kind of absorbing everything around them. They were intrigued by me and their cousin (Bowman's friend). We spent a lot of time with them, just talking to them and answering questions, talking to them on their level, as human beings.
"I felt like they were so thirsty to take in information in the midst of building themselves. I used go to bed and make sure all my digits and limbs were tucked under the covers because I just felt like they were going to steal something to take home with them, some piece of you."
On the trip, instead of her usual pile of photography equipment and color film, Bowman took an old black-and-white camera that made negatives and instant Polaroid pictures. The unfamiliar equipment and people combined to "energize" her and get her thinking about why she got into photography to begin with.
She wasn't satisfied by her magazine assignments. She wanted to "give a voice" to and share what's happening in the world.
It was soon after another trip to Maine and more photographs of teens -- this time it was kids from wealthy families -- that Bowman found a focus for the pictures and a new direction for her photography. She decided to photograph and interview teens across the U.S.
"It was a very organic process," she says. "It was out of a curiosity. I had this set of questions and I set out. Every day I'd pack up my car with equipment and film and I'd go out and I'd look for kids from morning until dusk. I'd approach them on the streets.
"I told them I needed a parent to sign off if they were under 18 and, regardless, I had to have a permission slip signed. I photographed first and interviewed second. I didn't want to go in and direct. I didn't want too much information beforehand so that I didn't protect anybody or expose someone. I wanted it completely pure and raw and honest."
Bowman traveled with an album of pictures to prove who she said she was. After taking the pictures she'd ask the kids to wait while she interviewed them one by one in her car, recording the entire exchange.
Even though she was met with suspicion in small towns, she was able to win the trust of a lot of kids and their parents. She credits this with her willingness to listen and her recognition that teens are people too.
"It was an opportunity to talk about themselves and to have someone listen to them," Bowman says. "One complaint I heard over and over and over again was, 'We're seen but we're not heard. No one really pays attention to what we say.'
"It's a project on tolerance and acceptance. It's a project about unifying versus dividing. I so want people in Brookings, Ore. to understand what it means to be a teenager in Tampa, Fla. and vice versa. I really believe we're all the same. A lot of this book is: You think you know who these images are, but read and it will break down the stereotypes you've just handed to the pictures."

Okey - I let the average idle person vent as much as they need to on social media, I'm alright with the fact that you probably have nothing else of value to do with your time. However, here's where I draw the line:
1. You will not use my wall to be mediocre & hide behind your bogus pseudonym to insult the CEO of any organisation, or anyone else for that matter. I don't care what your beef is. You
don't get to do that here.
2. Safaricom has a FB page. Use it.
3. Bob Collymore - Mr. Collymore has a twitter handle - use it.
4. It's a freaking free country, you don't like s'thing move on. Don't waste my time & yours posting filth on my wall.
5. Have the basic skill to refer to me by my name. It's at the top of the page for easy reference. I don't know who caro is.
6. By all means raise issues about our clients/advertisers, what you will not do is apply the same bottom feeder behavior you reserve for bigotry & politics to slander business entities. Not here.
And yes, our advertisers ALL bar none, contribute to our bottomline, therefore I make no apologies for being in their corner. Incidentally, I did ask Safaricom if I should take this nonsense down & they said no.
But this is MY page.
You want to be rude, abusive & base, go elsewhere.
I don't need you, not now, not ever.
Thank you
Apparently, this did not go down well with a section of people who call themselves Idlers Camp and they demanded for an apology but Caroline stood her ground. At this point, these guys resorted to name-calling and verbal abuse. It did not end there as they even created not one, not two but three Facebook pages (R.I.P Caroline Mutoko, Kenyans against Caroline Mutoko's nonsense and teenage like attitude and Kenyans agnst Caroline Mutoko's nonsense & teenage like attitude.) all dedicated to dragging Caroline through the mud. So popular are the pages that the likes have grown rapidly. For instance, "Kenyans against Caroline Mutoko's nonsense and teenage like attitude" has amassed over 12000 likes (by the time this article went up) in just below 24 hours!
Caroline has not responded to Idlers Camp (and I doubt if she will) a Facebook page named Kalekye Mumo, asked "haters to give them a break" on her Facebook page and that's when the insults started pouring in; over 600 comments (most of them abusive) in just under one hour. Idlers Camp hold that they are not relenting in their quest and infact want to show Caroline "how idle they can be".
Now, you be the judge.

Red Raiders Rally to Take 6-5 Victory in Series Opener
April 12, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech scored four runs in the seventh inning Friday evening to cap a 6-5 come-from-behind victory over Oklahoma State in the series opener at Rocky Johnson Field.
The seventh-inning rally marked Tech's first victory when trailing into the final frame since defeating Appalachian State, 10-9, on Feb. 13, 2011, during the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz.
"This was a great win tonight for our ballclub," Tech head coach Shanon Hays said. "I thought we battled all night at the plate and it paid off with a few big hits there in the seventh. That's something I really like about this team and I was proud of how we kept in there and battled until the end. Oklahoma State has a good club so we'll have to keep that effort going throughout the weekend."
Tech (29-14; 2-5) trailed 5-2 heading into the seventh when Lea Hopson led off the inning with a double that was the first of five hits in the frame for the Red Raiders. Samantha Camello and Gretchen Aucoin connected on back-to-back singles from there with Aucoin's scoring Hopson for Tech's first run.
Following a Brittany Lee sacrifice bunt that moved the runners in scoring position, Sydni Emanuel brought home both Camello and pinch runner Camaury Washington with a two-run single into center field that tied the game.
Emanuel, who finished 3-for-4 for her team-leading 16th multiple-hit game this year, moved to third immediately after on a Sydnie Tapia bloop single into right field and then scored the game winner off a Kristi Belshe sacrifice fly to left field.
"I thought Sydni and really our entire lineup there in the seventh had great at-bats," said Hays, whose club is now a victory shy of its fifth straight 30-win season. "We had hit the ball well most of the night but just had a few go right at them. It was good to see a few of them start to fall there in the seventh."
Tech chased Oklahoma State (22-17; 2-6) starter Simone Freeman following Camello's single in the seventh. She was relieved by Whitney Whitehorn (4-6), who eventually suffered the loss after allowing the final two runs off three hits in just two-thirds of an inning.
Freeman finished with four runs against her in six full innings where she allowed six hits and three walks while striking out two as well.
Aucoin broke up Freeman's shutout bid in the fifth inning with a solo shot deep over the fence in center field that was her third home run of the season. She finished 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBI for her fifth multiple-RBI performance this year.
Tapia added Tech's final run in the inning off a sacrifice fly that scored Lee, who reached base twice in the game with a single in the third inning and a walk in the fifth.
The late-inning heroics gave Tech reliever Cara Custer (12-6) the win after the right-hander relieved starter Brittany Talley in the second. Custer tossed six solid innings, allowing two runs off eight hits en route to the 51st win of her career that ties Ashly Jacobs for second all-time in program history.
Custer inherited a 3-0 deficit in the second as Oklahoma State got to Talley early with a Ari Morrison sacrifice bunt and a Tiffany Mikkelson two-run home run in the first inning alone. The Cowgirls' three runs matched the most for a Tech opponent in the first inning this year.
Freeman helped her own cause with a RBI single in the fifth that bumped Oklahoma State's lead back to two runs before Gessenia DeLaCruz parked a solo home run just inside the right field pole an inning later.
The Red Raiders will look for their first Big 12 series win on Saturday in a 4 p.m. first pitch. The game will be Tech's annual Power in Pink promotion and all fans wearing pink will receive free admission.

The Cost of Political Pseudo-Science Shown In Two ExamplesTuesday, June 7th, 2011

Surely it's time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.

Richard Glover and Dr. Donald Brown are two very different men, in different nations, who work towards a common goal. Each man believes that human pollution has driven a series of chemical and physical changes in the Earth's atmosphere. Each man believes this will damage the world around us and must be fought. Neither man has any ability to objectively prove their belief. Neither man will let that lack of knowledge stand in the way of enforcing their views upon others. Both men indulge in unethical behavior that demonstrates yet another cost that pseudo-science imposes on modern society. (more…)

VP Biden Wins Prestigious "Postpony" Award
The Vice President had this to say yesterday:
No changes in Social Security?? Joe B "guarantees" that? Who is he making this promise to? There are only two possibilities. Either Biden is flat out lying, or he is a fool.
Social Security is a "here and now" issue. It should be a matter that is part of the debate in the coming election. Charles Blahous, a Social Security Trustee, had this to say last weekend about the current status of America's biggest entitlement program (Link):
"To me, urgent doesn't begin to describe it. I would say we're somewhere between critical and too late to deal with it."
Critical? Too late? If this is what a Trustee of Social Security is saying, then what is Biden selling?
I'm going to give Biden an award for his words. I call it the "Postpony". I'm tired of the phrase, "kick the can down the road". When Biden spoke about SS he was kicking the can. He was pushing a strategy of postponing a debate/resolution of something that is important for the country's medium and longer-term future. This is politics at its worst. Joe B. is just trying to buy some votes. So the VEEP gets the "POSTPONY". A picture of the plaque:
I can't think of an election where the VP candidate actually made a difference in the final vote. Maybe 2012 will be different.
Those who are under 50 today, and working, are going to get stiffed (big time) by Social Security. They will have 12.4% of their wages sucked out of their pockets and into a sinkhole. That money will be used to "deliver" on the promise that Joey B made to the baby boomers in VA yesterday. When those who were born after 1965 try to retire, there will be no money left in the SS Trust Fund. The under 50 set will recieve only 70% of what the boomers get (Current law). That's a lot of people who should be thinking about this issue as they vote.
I'm looking forward to the debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan (I'm not in love with this guy either). A question that I would like them to answer:
The Social Security Trust Fund reported to Congress that the Social Security Disability Fund will run out in 2015. Either benefits for 12mm people will get cut by 30% (current law), or any shortfall (mega $s) will have to come from more deficits and debt.
The next Administration will have to "fix" this problem. This is not a maybe; it's a sure thing. What are the candidate's plans for this fix?
H/T: DAK&Co

Notice over the last week or so the media has been out of sorts with the Vice President? Biden is an advantage to the Republicans for obvious reasons. However, key Republicans are suggesting that he be replaced. Kinda dumb politically, but definitely a good thought if one considers the safety of the Nation.
Some contributors in the last Democrat Primaries donated $ to Obama to keep Hillary out of the White House. I contributed my first money ever to the Obama Campaign in order to defeat the Clintons. That has proven to be a mistake. The negatives for Hillary remain the same; her experience over the last 3+ years become a huge plus. The best choice would be for Clinton to run for President; however the Democrats would have huge problems with the black voters and maybe the Mexican voters. IF the Democrats could construct a deal where the Clintons would be playing First Chair and Obama giving speeches and playing golf, it might be a move that is good for the Nation. Obama must be removed from leadership one way or the other. They could let him sit in the Oval Office but is a neutered state.
I would personally be in favor of Clinton, knowing that I would need to stock up on items that she has a history of attempting to ban. I do not know if the Democrats are ready to really change the Financial situation or if the Clintons would have the authority to quickly do so. Clinton can not run on a Reform platform and might not be able to get Chicago politics out of DC.
The Republicans may be the best choice, but Clinton replacing Biden is a good move.
Joe is a liar, period, always has been. Continues to this day to claim that a drunk driver killed his first wife, even though the driver was cleared and the fault assigned to his wife.
Bruce, you love to crunch social security numbers but forget to look at the macro situation. The ol' US of A will not be around in ten years. Go ahead crunch those numbers.
well, perhaps he could have grafted away enough $$ to cover everyone.
Bruce - So those under 50, or those born 1965 or later, (not quite the same thing) should not expect to get SS money when they retire? Using retirement at 65, this works out to around 2027 to 2030. What do you think happens at that point, does the govt. stop sending social security checks? Because if that is what will happen then even those born before 1965 would be effected. For example if you were born in 1960 then perhaps you get retirement from 2025 to 2030 and then at age 70 the checks stop?
But I think the assumption that Social Security will last until even 2027 is shaky. If you just look at the SS system and do an actuary analysis then it survives until then, but if you look at the larger picture of the federal govt. budget, with growing shortfalls in SS disability, Medicare and Medicaid, resulting in increasing deficits, and especially if we take into account how the states are also running deficits, then I don't see how it can last that long. Or consider the larger picture that the whole debt based central bank system is unsustainable. Good to know that Social Security retirement system by itself would last until 2030, but doubtful how long those checks will really continue to come.
There is no SS Trust fund: just a bunch of worthless IOUs from the Treasury. So if SS is to continue "unchanged", it will be with printed money, which will certainly be highly devalued if not worthless by 2027.
Entschuldigen Sie, aber ist "hui" ein echtes Wort? Cogitam illud "nunc" esse, sed nescio, fortasse erro.
Good article Bruce. Great issues that MSM avoids. I'm sure any debates will be filled with hollow questions by lightweight journalists.
The word "change" had to be removed from the Obama-presidency actually - so I guess that the "change" should be removed from the Biden announcement also, leaving "There will be no social security".
I mean its almost clear that the biggest chance for common people of the 1965+ generation will be to end as a Soylent Green (sort of) main ingredient. I don't see the young generation would love to work their asses off to ensure that the asses of the then grannies are cleaned.
I sent some Zim $$$ to a foreign World Bank Executive. Debt of the USA paid back in full, with interest. 30 years of inflation and a 2% coupon will be very interesting math.
He is right though. Social Security will stand. You will get a check no matter what. However, it will be worth next to nothing due to massive inflation. May be furnace fuel if the EPA lets you burn anything for heat. The AGW problem, doncha know.
Don't forget the recent two years of no COLA for Social Security during massive food and fuel inflation. This is how they plan to pay for it. Cutting the value of the check, while at the same time stealing any savings in the stock market casino etc. They are going to strip mine the baby boomers of every single asset then toss them aside for the new generation of compliant plebes from south of the border, asia, and the ghetto blacks. Any white Europeans that want to be around in 30 years better high tail it for Idaho, North Dakota, Montana, Alaska etc.
Because it won't be "liberty friendly" in the other states by then.
When the entire basis of the nation has become a ponzi, left and right conspiring with corporations and banks to defraud the populace, debauch the currency, sell present career employment oversees and sell the future generations altogether - the S.S. bait-and-switch carrot is a small club in the arsenal of the Kleptoligarchy.
he will be elected for being a lying crook.
"Our elderly need no longer fear that the checks they depend on will be stopped or reduced. These amendments protect them. Americans of middle age need no longer worry whether their career-long investment will pay off. These amendments guarantee it. "......86'RR Jeez that promise couldn't even last 30 years and that was from a president .......
Too bad SS payments were not denominated in ounces of gold rather than FRN. Some of my earnings for SS purposes came from when gold was $35 per ounce (or whatever it was pre-'71).
"I can't think of an election where the VP candidate actually made a difference in the final vote. Maybe 2012 will be different" .... BK
I hope not!
I am taking bets ($40 so far) that in October, Biden will become ill or some other family emergency that will preclude him running for VP. This opens the door for H.Clinton. She makes for Democrat Dream Team ... October Surprise ... then in November, I become ill
The thinking you are doing before the speaking you are doing is making many peoples to be having pity for you when you are speaking about vice president people not making the people who are voting have different voting. The Sarah Palin who was being the pick of the man who was wanting to be president is the reason the man was not being voted for.
McCain would have lost even more decisively had Palin not been on the ticket to invigorate conservatives. McCain was and remains a RINO (at best) who had no executive experience. Indeed, of the four candidates in 2008 only Palin had any executive experience. Obama did not even have a full term as Senator. You, sir, know not whereof you speak when you suggest McCain would have done better had it not been for Palin. Her biggest drawback was the fact that the insiders in both parties hated her anti-establishment accomplishments in Alaska and were determined to trash her in any way possible. Her early stumbles and fumbles overshadowed her prior record.
Liberals hate successful, attractive conservative women. Palin had to go.
Next time you want to make a stupid comment, do some research first and then present facts to back up your baseless assertions.
I am the feeling we are not understand.
After 30 years of dealing with my Chinese wife's less then perfect English, I can say I know exactly what you mean. My Chinese is, admittedly, far worse, but the only languages I was ever good at were those understood by computers - Fortran, Cobal, assembler, C++, etc.
Wow Fortran, Cobol. Ugle stuff, dev'd is both languages for years. Thankfully thos days r over.
"The time of the snack is happy!"
Everyone remember this?
no bank holiday? Joe Biden's good old buddy Jon Corzine made sure a lot of money took a bank holiday. How many of those funds went directly to the Obama 2012 campaign as Corzine is a fundraiser and mafia-don?
official twitter accounts of the guilty (Eric Holder for the time being at Justice Dept)
I think it's a good idea that everyone let them all know how proud we are they're keeping the banks in check by letting them be robbed a billion at a time by their fundraiser.
The concept that the financial markets are under regulated does not mean they are lacking in regulations or laws. They are lacking in transparency and enforcement. I just hate this shit that some new law is going to fix everything. The only thing that will fix things is enforcement of clearly written and unambiguous rules. And, enforcement means prosecution, not fines.
Why worry about enforcing the rules when porn is just a mouse-click away? Besides, everyone on ZH knows rules are just for the common folks.
Biden is just spewing, neither clueless nor lying, per se, just spewing. But that's what sock puppets do!
Pejorative... I know Joe, he had done a very big favor for me a while back. Our kids went
to school together. He has been one of the least crooked senators in the past 30 years,
but your description of him as a sock puppet is spot on. Before he became VP, he was a very
powerful force in DC. He could have cashed in big time, but he didn't. His main fault is he
is arrogant. What a shame, he could a been a contender.
Yeah in Bidens defense he is one of the poorest senators even thou he has decades in Washington and represented the tax-loophole state.
Compare him to lets say Harry Reid. Harry is a multimillionare who worked for a few years as a prosecutor before politics. There is 0.00% chance that he earned his millions in a legit way.
Biden says stupid stuff yes, but he is not a complete fucking criminal like many of his peers.
Sorry everybody but Biden is a lying, cheating, stealing criminal. Has been for years. Obama piked him because he needed somebody that had experience and relationships. Same reasons JFK picked LBJ.
Besides all that, Joe is a flaming IDIOT. Glad he helped ur kids though.
That would mean you are aware that Joe Biden has had at least two brain surgeries, for aneurysms I believe.
I find it very strange that nobody, and I mean nobody, brings it up when he says these stupid things like Roosevelt on TV. I have known people who had brain surgeries and the behavior can at times be like Biden, odd thoughts expressed and a lot of nonsense.
You don't think these very odd statements and odd behaviors like plagiarism, racist remarks, etc, are caused by scrambled brains?
I do.
Behavior seems consistent with partial onset seizure disorder. Give him a drink some maoi-s and kick him onto the stage.
The statements Biden makes, along with your reminder of his medical history, are all part of a setup (in my opinion) to ease him out of the VP slot during the convention. It all came together for me when I heard that Bill Clinton would speak at the Democrat convention. Since Clinton is said to despise Obama, what purpose could his appearance serve other than to showcase Hillary? It's not like he's going to get up and say that he has proof that Obama is not legally eligible to be president, although that would certainly be a ratings success.
So the 3 TRILLION owed S.S. is never to be paid? That is exactly why there is a surplus! Did you just forget that surplus? Half ass article Bruce, without doing the homework. Shame on you, all hype not unlike O'Bummer himself.
Landrew from Satr Trek? Great episode.
NO, I do not believe the $3 Trillion in IOU's will ever be repaid. The Government that "gave" the IOU's, is $16 Trillion in the hole with an increase of $1.9 Trillion a year.
Shame on YOU Landrew, your post was "half-assed" and very light on analysis and fact, heavy on bravado...kinda like....JOE!
The 3 trillion in the trust fund is the easiest debt the government can pay. That 3 trillion is part of the 16 trillion owed. The treasury can issue treasury bonds to redeem trust fund bonds without raising the national debt.
Now now doesn't anyone remember "dumb and dumber"?
All your money is right here in this suitcase. See all the IOU's? Hey this IOU is for the Lamboghini $200,000. Better not lose that one.
We all know the democrats took the seperate SS funds in the 60's and made them part of the general fund. DId anyone really think they were just borrowing the money?
Same thing over and over again. Vote for me and I'll buy this for you.
When you think about it, what were the SS trustees to do with all that money coming in every year? Invest it in solid companies like Polaroid or AMF? Or maybe Pan American or Eastern Airlines? From one perspective, they did the right thing by investing in ultra-safe US government issues. It's called fiduciary responsibility. Once the money was available for spending, Congress wasted no time grabbing it. What else could they do? Leaving all that cash in some vault would have harmed the economy by taking it out of circulation.
SS is a bad program and has been from its inception. It was always more about politics than about securing seniors' futures. I'd go so far to say it has no basis in the US Constitution, but since that document in now no more than an historical curiousity I won't.
Wrong Everyman, wrong Charles Blahous, and wrong Krasting:
"Charles Blahous, a Social Security Trustee, had this to say last weekend about the current status of America's biggest entitlement program........"
Social Security is not a government entitlement program. The money I have paid in to SS is not a "payroll tax." That is my money the government has promised me for my retirement. Any politician, or bs troll blogger who tries to say otherwise is a coward. Don't tell me that once the government has it, it's no longer my money. No, it's still my money, and if you're not going to live up to the deal we (me and the government) made a long time ago, you're not going to live.
you been suckered, friend. get in line. Don't worry, though. Some other politician will come along and promise you that they will get it back for you. Vote for them if it makes you feel better.
It only belongs to you if you have more guns than the government does, and if you're willing to use them. Might makes right. See how it works in North Korea. Here it just wears a velvet glove.
OK, it's "your money".
Doesn't mean that you are going to see a dime of that portion of "your money".
God, and people think I am dumb.
Supreme Court ruled the Social Security program is not a defined benefit program, it is a tax. That was ruled long ago. Google it.
"The govmint promised"? It is to laugh. It's ZOG money now, long since burned away on the welfare-warfare state.
Those who are under 50 today, and working, are going to get stiffed (big time) by Social Security.
You are correct. Thanks for not sugarcoating it.
...will recieve only 70% of what the boomers get...
...will get cut by 30%...
There is such a law already in place? I am not aware.
Bruce, might you point to it in link or hint form?
Even if the nominal amount remained constant, which it doesn't, the COLA can be reduced to zero, or perhaps even lower.
There is no way the purchasing power granted to SS recipients will remain at the current level. Boomers like me, already collecting, will find their SS-based purchasing power shrinking year by year under the best of circumstances. Ultimately, that's all that matters: purchasing power. Ask anyone from Zimbabwe.
But I have a letter from the SSA saying what I will get when I retire. There is even an online calculator.
We knew that back in the 80's when we first starting getting raped by the gov't.
Bruce,Biden is taking a dive
you are playing into their meme with this article
Obama/Clinton 2012 wiill be the ticket

Roger Vivier, Milliner? Yep, For a Short Time During World War II, the Shoemaker Set Up a Hat Shop in New York City
Most everyone—OK, let's just make that everyone—knows Roger Vivier for shoes. The Paris-born designer got his start crafting shoes for performers Josephine Baker and Mistinguett, opened Maison Vivier in the center of Paris on the Place Vendome in 1937, and was quickly associated with the leading couturiers: Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli and Madame Grès, as well as the Bally Shoe Company. He developed Dior's shoes for the New Look, and is often credited, somewhat generously, with the invention of the stiletto.
But here's a little known fact: When World War II broke out and the Nazis invaded Paris, the designer emigrated to the United States, let an apartment at 25 W 55th Street and on this day in 1943, opened a millinery with partner Suzanne Remy (a colleague from his Schiaparelli days), at 24 East 64th Street, the same spot where the Pucci boutique stands today. It's not that Vivier couldn't find a job making shoes once stateside; upon arrival he was promptly snapped up by Delman shoes, a thriving New York shoemaker, and remained in its employ for some time. But the designer was harboring a dam of untapped creativity, and Suzanne et Roger filled the void. The business was a quiet Read More »
What's Her Line? Lilly Daché was the Most Famous Milliner in America
How many modern-day milliners can you name? One? None? The name Mme. Lilly Daché is unknown to 21st century fashionistas, but the milliner was so well known in her day that she appeared, voice disguised, on the popular game show, "What's My Line?," where panelists asked a series of yes-or-no questions to guess the identity of the celebrity mystery guest. Daché, who died on this day in 1989 at age 97, was a name not only "known coast to coast," as panelist Arlene Francis queries in the video of the designer's "What's My Line?" segment (see below), but controlled a multi-million empire, including ownership of the Lilly Daché Building, nine stories at 78 East 56th Street, that served as her salon, business headquarters and garden apartment from 1937 to 1967. Through the 1930s and into the early 1960s, every stylish woman with an extra few dollars bought a Lilly Daché hat—particularly the colorful turbans she perfected by shaping them right on the model's head—before they bought a new dress.
"I would talk to the woman, ask her where she planned to wear the hat, what kind of dress she would wear it with," Daché told an interviewer late in her career. "If she thought her nose was too long, I would make a hat with a brim and pull it down so you couldn't see the nose so much. I made everything with love, affection and Read More »
The Power of Accessories
The tradition of using clothing as a marker of rank, class and distinction goes at least as far back as the ancient Romans and the varying manners of tying a toga. In visual records, fine and rich clothing and jewels were and are easy markers of wealth and prestige. But even in seemingly casual and random scenes, artists have very purposefully featured certain items of apparel as a way of creating identities for their subjects.
In 1881, Auguste Renoir, one of the leading Impressionist painters of the day, painted one of his most famous canvases. "The Luncheon of the Boating Party" is a friendly and seemingly relaxed scene. It is as if Renoir were dining with his friends and he has simply pulled away for a second, glanced back over his shoulder and spotted a scene with the perfect light and the perfect lightness; a scene which perfectly encapsulated the fleeting quality of Impressionism. And yet, everything about Renoir's painting is deliberate and the artist isn't just interested in the moment. This is evidenced by the way he pays particular attention to each of his subjects' hats.
In fact, only one (maybe two, it is hard to tell as his head and body are mostly obscured) person in the entire scene does not wear a hat. Because of this, he becomes the most ambiguous character in the party. We can tell who the other sitters Read More »
Happy St. Catherine's Day, Patron Saint of Milliners!
Today, November 25, marks the day where single French ladies celebrate the steadfast resolve of a fourth-century gal named Catherine of Alexandria, today our Patron Saint of Milliners and Couture. The story goes that Roman Emperor Maxentius had his eye on Catherine, but she refused to marry him and was promptly executed. (Another story, by way of the church, says she was executed for spreading Christianity across Europe.) Either way, Catherine was named the patron saint of unmarried women nine centuries later, and on this day, gals around France place hats on their heads—traditionally a starched cap on the eldest unmarried woman in town and paper bonnets on the heads of the others—and spend the day praying to St. Catherine for a worthy husband. The tradition of hats is what led to Catherine landing the patronage of millinery, as well as launching the term "Catherinette," meaning an unmarried woman age 25 or older, and a French saying, "to do St. Catherine's hair," meaning "to remain an old maid." Charming!
Thankfully, this holiday has morphed through the years from a humiliating experience for single women to one embraced as a kicky holiday by French couture and design houses and milliners. Young seamstresses traditionally shut the shop doors to the public and have an all-day party with champagne, dancing and sweets, while making elaborate and outrageous Read More »

Except from Chapter 2:The purpose of this book is to show you the most effective, and most cost-effective, ways to reduce your carbon emissions, and the best ways to reduce your family's energy bills.
