"Obama's 'rosy' budget scenario doubles down on class warfare"
From "Hope and Change" to "Hope, but Keep Trying the Same Shit That Won't Work No Matter How Many Times We Insist It Will If We Just Give It Another Chance."
Which, that doesn't have quite the same easy bumpersticker grace to it, seems to me. James Pethokoukis:
[…] Obama's new budget isn't about economic growth or cutting debt or creating a "built to last" economy. The Obama campaign is built around the idea of reducing inequality. So in his budget, Obama takes the populist whip to the wealthy and to business:
1. The top income rate would be raised to 39.6 percent vs. 35 percent today.
2. Under the "Buffett rule," no household making over $1 million annually would pay less than 30 percent of their income in taxes.
3. Between now the end of a second Obama term, Obama proposes $707 billion in "net deficit reduction proposals." Of that amount, only 16 percent is spending cuts.
4. The majority of small business profits would be taxed at 39.6 percent vs. 35 percent today.
5. The capital gains rate would rise to 25.0 percent (including the Obamacare surtax and deduction phase out) from 15 percent today.
6. The double-tax on corporate profits (including dividends) would increase to 64 percent based on the statutory corporate tax rate (58 percent using the effective tax rate), easily the highest among advanced economies.
7. The double tax on corporate profits (including capital gains) would increase to 51 percent (44 percent using the effective tax rate), also among the highest among advanced economies.
All in all, Obama has proposed some $1.6 trillion in new taxes over ten years, taking tax revenue as a share of GDP to 20.1 percent in 2022 vs. a historical average of 18 percent. And despite all those new taxes, Obama's plan would still add $6.7 trillion in new debt and make no progress in lowering the nation's total debt levels as a share of output. The debt-to-GDP ratio is predicted to be 74.2 percent this year and 76.5 percent in 2022.
At the same time, federal spending would never fall below 22 percent of GDP. Indeed, Obama — if he serves two terms — would be the first U.S. president in history to spend 22.0 percent or more of GDP for eight straight years (and then beyond). And keep in mind that these debt and spending numbers claim about $850 billion in savings from unwinding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, spending about a quarter of those phony "savings" on highway funding.
And also don't forget about the rosy growth assumptions of 3.4 percent growth in 2015, 4.1 percent in 2016, 4.1 percent in 2017, and 3.9 percent in 2018? The U.S. economy has only seen a run like that three times in the past four decades. And the Obama Boom is supposed to happen amid rising tax rates, interest rates and debt? Good luck, Mr. President.
Luck? Who needs "luck" when you can use the Constitution when it supports your position, ignore it when it doesn't, and demonize it should you need to rile up your progressive base of grievance-politics identity groups looking for ways to game the system to their selfish advantage?

I suppose that would make Jaleel "Urkel" White the garçon de pisse.
The Obama campaign is built around the idea of reducing inequality.
That's the charitable view.
I think it's accurate, dicentra. He intends to impoverish all of us.
Also, don't miss this piece by Paul Rahe (Hillsdale College) that Rush read today: "American Catholicism's Pact with the Devil":
the leaders of the American Catholic Church fell prey to a conceit that had long before ensnared a great many mainstream Protestants in the United States – the notion that public provision is somehow akin to charity – and so they fostered state paternalism and undermined what they professed to teach: that charity is an individual responsibility and that it is appropriate that the laity join together under the leadership of the Church to alleviate the suffering of the poor. In its place, they helped establish the Machiavellian principle that underpins modern liberalism – the notion that it is our Christian duty to confiscate other people's money and redistribute it.
Lots of juicy Latin quotes and references to the Magna Carta for them what digs that kinda thing.
Dicentra —
I linked that piece days ago, and there was a long discussion on it in the comments a few days back.
I think it is and always has been a power grab. The promise of economic equality is a lie that Obama and his type don't actually believe.
So you did. Right here. I guess I can say I was no slower on the uptake than Rush, who, despite his name, did not.
The promise of economic equality is a lie that Obama and his type don't actually believe.
Don't forget Orwell's prescient fable. If the Obama campaign is indeed "built around the idea of reducing inequality," then we must remember the corollary: "some animals are more equal than others."
Not to say neener-neener or anything (OK, it is), but the LDS Church was never taken in by the conceit I quoted in #4. Some individual members might have been, but there's nothing in the sermons or other materials to suggest that the Church was down with that program.
Instead, the LDS Church runs a huge welfare system of its own using freely given donations of time and money (plus land it owns to raise cattle or grow crops) and that is administered in an extremely local way, such that when it becomes evident that someone's just being a mooch, they're cut off. The welfare building often houses the employment office, which helps people find jobs or training.
(I do realize that the Catholic Church has even more extensive charitable works throughout the world; the LDS Church frequently cooperates with Catholic Charities to send supplies to disaster-stricken areas.)
I was wholly unaware of the American Catholic Church's embrace of Social Justice and was also unaware that nobody seems to have been teaching the people about contraception and chastity and abortion from the pulpit.
I knew that the Latin American Church did not serve its parishioners by teaching the actual Gospel, reducing most Catholics to praying to a candle to win the lottery instead of living a better life. Those Catholics who were serious about religion have all become either Protestants or Mormons. I figured that the Latin American Church was weakened by so many years of being the official state church, just as it was in Spain, whereas church in the U.S. and Canada had to "compete" with other churches to meet the spiritual needs of the people.
I'm astounded because I've met through the Internet many devout American Catholics (such as the Anchoress) who are crystal clear about how to live a Christ-centered life and furthermore are actually good Catholics instead of cafeteria-style. I admire them very much and look up to their spiritual prowess. It therefore makes me sad to know that the Catholics haven't been very good at insisting that their members live up to Catholic standards in their personal lives: I guess I assumed that because the LDS and protestants (mostly) do it, the Catholics would too.
Maybe this will jar them back into some sense. Maybe they will realize that it's not enough to administer the sacraments and perform the rites: people must also be transformed on a day-to-day basis if their religion is to mean anything more than family tradition.
Rahe's piece was also discussed in this thread.
I was wholly unaware of the American Catholic Church's embrace of Social Justice
This which I linked on that thread gets into the beginnings which of course go to the progressive movement's beginnings.
Now I can cop to being totally clueless about things I actually have read, including the threads referred to.
Never mind. </Litella>
I just saw Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami on Cavuto (roughly the 4:25 eastern slot), making the case that the "accommodation" Obama pumped last Fri. does nothing to alleviate the infringement on religious liberty imposed by the HHS ruling of Jan. 20, and further, that the infringement is an infringement not on the Catholic Church alone, or as such, but on all people, regardless of their religious organizational affiliation (taking up the argument advanced by Paul Rahe, and remarked by Peter Robinson here.) This is good news to me, anyhow, insofar as it demonstrates the Archbishop has broadened the scope of his political thought beyond the immediate effects on himself and his flock.
the "politics of generosity" baracky 2012 ed.
To be fair, dicentra, we have over a billion members worldwide. It's hard to herd that many sheep.
Americans for Prosperity's Obama budget analysis and response.
To be fair, dicentra, we have over a billion members worldwide. It's hard to herd that many sheep.
They don't need herding; they need teaching. Catholic teachings on chastity and abortion and contraception aren't very complicated. A parish is small enough that a priest can teach these principles during the homily or through other venues such as confession, personal counseling, or separate classes.
It doesn't appear to be a problem of size; it appears to be a problem of message. If no one is teaching the doctrine even during Mass, people aren't going to get the message or alter their behavior, be there 100 or 1 billion members.
I guess I'm just used to belonging to a Church with stricter standards. If I were to violate my Church's standards on chastity or abortion, I could face Church discipline, up to and including excommunication. (I'd be eligible for rebaptism after a year.) Because we have a lay ministry, everyone gets multiple chances to deliver sermons, teach lessons, and otherwise get very, very familiar with the material. It's hard to find Mormons who don't know what their church teaches, even if they themselves don't live it. In Colombia I met exactly 5 Catholics who knew what their church taught: everyone else just prayed to the Virgin to win the lottery, if that.
I remember a 14-year-old girl whose father was pimping her out to his friend. She was thrilled because it was "just like being married," but was unaware that there might be something wrong from a religious or ethical standpoint. (Yes, her age and her hormones and her obviously bad upbringing were the primary contributors.) It's just that she was also "very devoted to the Niño Jesús de Praga" and figured that she was very Catholic indeed.
Again, it made me very sad that the local priests (many of whom had one or more illegitimate kids running around) were so unconcerned about the spiritual well-being of their parishioners. I guess they figured that as long as they administered the sacraments, they'd done their duty and that was that.
I know it's not my place to tell the Catholics how to run their church; I'm just making a first-person observation about one result.
Something Jim P mentions in regards to taxing dividends as ordinary income from Bloomberg:
The proposal, in the president's fiscal 2013 budget released today, would reverse his previous policy that called for taxing dividends more lightly than wage income. The plan would treat dividends as ordinary income for married couples making more than $250,000 a year and individuals making more than $200,000. The dividend tax proposal would raise $206.4 billion over 10 years.
"We simply can't afford to devote $206 billion for lower tax rates for the highest-income Americans," Gene Sperling, White House director of the National Economic Council, told reporters today. "Our system for taxing investment income for the most well-off Americans is clearly broken."
The earlier stance:
The proposal reverses the administration's policy and would return dividend taxation to its pre-2003 status. The administration's fiscal 2012 budget had justified setting the top capital gains and dividend tax rates at 20 percent because it "reduces the tax bias against equity investment and promotes a more efficient allocation of capital."
$200B over 10 years. That's essentially nothing in our current budgets. So why the switch?
I think there can be no explanation other than it being an opportunity to "soak the rich" which satisfies some idealogical itch so their retarded sycophants can feel good about the administration. If passed, the market will react to this. The tax won't be collected. Another distortion will be added. All so they can add one more bullet point for MSNBC to prattle on about.
Transparent and disgraceful.
I hear you. There are a great many Catholics that are CINOs. I was pleased that when my youngest boy attended the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis last November, there were over 23,000 teens there from around the country. I've been fortunate that I have belonged to a number of very active parishes over the years. People tend to wonder away and then return when they marry and have children.
Latin America presents a unique set of problems and is not representative of American Catholics, as you know. Anymore than characters like Warren Jeffs are endemic to the LDS.
Nothing encourages corporate malfeasance like telling them they shouldn't pass along profits as dividends.
I really hate these people.
I think there can be no explanation other than it being an opportunity to "soak the rich" which satisfies some idealogical itch so their retarded sycophants can feel good about the administration.
It's part ideological, but I would guess mostly political. They just want to be able to say all Republicans care about is their rich, fat-cat golf buddies; they hate poor people.
This budget proposal is the new standard for governing so as to win elections.
Rather than winning elections so as to govern, which is the way it should be.
Somebody should clue in the Moran character.
Transparent, disgraceful, and . . . what's that other word I'm looking for? . . . oh, yeah, . . . no, not laughable . . . FECKLESS, yeah, that's the word, feckless . . . in this context, it means: hateful, nihilistic, divisive, moronic, destructive, worthless and, y'know, a bunch of other choice descriptives.
no holding back anymore.
White House Economic Adviser: 'We Need a Global Minimum Tax'
You missed "dishonest" and "unserious", sdferr.
So long as that "global minimum tax" covers the 47% who don't pay, right?
They have to double down now. If they lose in the fall, this will have been the last time they can push this shit for years.
Let's vote on it, the last Obama budget went down 97-0. Vote.
And if you want so really see Rosy and her five sisters work it, take a look at this.
If they lose in the fall…
Not if — when. At this point, not even cheating can help them.
Humph, I thought the thing used to be about Merry and her five fingers, and no, we aren't particularly interested in watch Obama jerk-off.
Anymore than characters like Warren Jeffs are endemic to the LDS.
Warren Jeffs isn't LDS. He's the leader of the Fundamentalist LDS, a sect that has as much connection with the LDS church as the Methodists have with Catholics.
To find a parallel, you'd have to name a local LDS bishop who's a total jerk, or maybe point at Harry Reid.
A 24,783 to 1 return on investment within three years is pretty sweet. Go Team Crony.
The debt-to-GDP ratio is predicted to be 74.2 percent this year and 76.5 percent in 2022.
I thought we hit 100% awhile back…
"We simply can't afford to devote $206 billion for lower tax rates for the highest-income Americans," Gene Sperling, White House director of the National Economic Council, told reporters today. "Our system for taxing investment income for the most well-off Americans is clearly broken."
WTF? Complete and utter bullshit. Taking less of someone's money is not "devoting money to lower tax rates." Can someone please explain to these jerkoffs government has no money to pay for anything unless it takes from those who have money? Or, can someone at least call them on this dishonest bullshit?
"We simply can't afford to devote $206 billion for lower tax rates for the highest-income Americans," Gene Sperling, White House director of the National Economic Council, told reporters today.
What is most worrisome to me, bh, is the way they word these missives. It is clearly their money, they are just deciding how much to let you have. Eventually the pinheads listening will all feel that way completely. They already do, to some extent.
Damn, Blake beat me to it while I was logging in, lol.
Let's vote on it, the last Obama budget went down 97-0. Vote.
Nope, no vote. Budgets are passe. We don't need them anymore.
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
The current administration prides itself on being measured and deliberate. The current HHS mandate needs to be understood as exactly that. Commentators are using words like "gaffe," "ill conceived," and "mistake" to describe the mandate. They're wrong. It's impossible to see this regulation as some happenstance policy. It has been too long in the making.
Despite all of its public apprehension about "culture warriors" on the political right in the past, the current administration has created an HHS mandate that is the embodiment of culture war. At its heart is a seemingly deep distrust of the formative role religious faith has on personal and social conduct, and a deep distaste for religion's moral influence on public affairs. To say that this view is contrary to the Founders' thinking and the record of American history would be an understatement.
The dividend tax proposal would raise $206.4 billion over 10 years.
First it won't raise anything like that pittance (compared to the Obama budgets) but a much smaller pittance.
Second, there are elderly retired people who set up their retirement accounts to receive dividends from companies that traditionally pay them regularly who will now get a higher tax on those dividends and likely not see as many paid out as companies simply will retain the earnings.
Third, all of this will result in a slowing of economic growth in the private sector which is also a desired effect of the left who want the government section of the economy to be dominate.
I hate these people too bh.
One thing I'd like to see in any story that uses the "saved over 10 years" theme is that they then mention the amount projected to be spent over those same ten years and to state the amount using the same terms.
Such as "This tax increase on the rich will save $206 billion out of the $50,000 billion budgeted to be spent over the ten years, approximately four tenths of one percent of the budget, or about the income percentage that the average family of four spends on toothpaste yearly."
"saved over 10 years"
as if they can control future congresses
A Democrat Congressman calls the Obama budget a "nervous breakdown on paper" because it spends to little and of course it is only the mighty spending of the Federal government that has kept us from sinking further into "economic turmoil". I notice the it's Bush's fault still shows up.
B.Moe, I think a round of mutual congratulation is in order.
geoffb, Obama promises have a limited life span, but excuses last forever.
I'm pretty sure Obama was born without a feck; both his parents were too.
Can't arrest the little prick for fraud though, he's got us there.
The debt-to-GDP ratio is predicted to be 74.2 percent this year and 76.5 percent in 2022.
I thought we hit 100% awhile back…
Net vs gross debt, I assume, Lee. Don't know what intra-gov is now but I figure that explains the difference.
Btw, without listing them, I think I agree with all y'all's comments above.
(The tax/budget/econ ones, that is.)
Paul Ryan on the Obama budget, and the evil it entails.
Yeah, he must be referring to net.* Doesn't make sense otherwise.
*Difference between roughly 70% to next year's 75% explained by spending greatly outpacing growth, I assume.
The Team has gotten to the point that they are so confident the media machine is going to just grind up anything that conflicts with the assigned narrative that they are not even trying to hide their lies anymore. Steven Hayes said today that Jack Lew was knowingly lying about the Republican Senate filibustering the budget. Krauthammer tried to say "That can't be true, he knows we'd catch him". He does know you'd catch him Charles and honey badger don't give a fuck. They don't care Charles. All masks are off, it is just a naked cram-down at this point.
Here is a new classic, a Baghdad Bob tape indicating brass balls the size of a small moonlet.
I think the President has put forward today a balanced budget. Balanced in two ways. First of all, the President invests and makes immediate investments in job creation, starting with making sure that the payroll tax cut continues, and that we do not have a tax increase on 160 million Americans. The President also has proposals to put Americans back to work, on infrastructure projects, to modernize our schools, to help rebuild our neighborhoods. At the same time, we have year over year of deficit reduction, leading to a stable debt to GDP ratio by 2018. So it's balanced, in that we have immediate job creation and then we have deficit reduction. And the deficit reduction itself is done in a balanced way.
Balanced balanced balanced balanced.
armadillo sited
motionview, it's almost like someone has set out intentionally to give contemporary men a taste of what it was to be a Frenchman in revolt in 1789, and a sense of why it was those Frenchmen went utterly nuts to lopping off heads. It has heretofore never been apparent to me what on earth could have possessed them to such barbarity, but I fear I'm beginning to get it.
Of course the #Occupant's budget is balanced. The taxes for current spending will be paid by the rich now, and the taxes to pay down the debt will be paid by the poor later. Rich, poor. Now, later. Both sides covered on both levels!
Has someone reported the Fock You 2013 Budget to Attack Watch?
Ga. He's such a fucking liar.
I just can't take it anymore.

There are a great many Catholics that are CINOs.
That's because the RCC insists on counting members that were baptized Catholic, but are not currently Catholic. Even those who (like me) are members of e.g. Lutheran denominations.
Very much not the "he" mentioned above, Serr8d seems to be coming back online, at least on Twitter. We are not all socialists now.
Serr8d seems to be coming back online
Yea! We miss you, Serr8d!
Slart, I was referring to people who refer to themselves as Catholics, though they haven't been to church since childhood. Or, they are C&E Catholics and ignore it the rest of the time. Which pretty well describes a whole lot of people who call themselves churchgoers.
All masks off.
"Simply put," Frisch wrote, "the progressive movement is in need of an enemy. George W. Bush is gone. We really don't have John McCain to kick around any more. Filling the lack of leadership on the right, Fox News has emerged as the central enemy and antagonist of the Obama administration, our Congressional majorities and the progressive movement as a whole. We must take Fox News head-on in a well funded, presidential-style campaign to discredit and embarrass the network, making it illegitimate in the eyes of news consumers."
Because the Progs need an enemy. Rush, Fox, the 1%, the Catholics, the Rich. Is there no media organization with some resources other than Breitbart and now the Daily Caller going to go to work on this story, the Democrat-Media-Tribal-Interest-Group axis of bullshit?
The upshot being, if you have no identifiable values, you can't be a hypocrite, no matter what position you take.
Aha! You know what else you can't be? An ideologue!
So there you go: ideology is the first step down the road to that most dastardly of sins, hypocrisy.
Fuck. Wrong thread.

Butler kicked off the 2009 portion of its indoor track and field schedule with a limited squad and a maximum performance at the Notre Dame Opener held in Notre Dame, Ind., on Friday, Jan. 16. The Bulldogs had just a handful of competitors entered in the non-scoring meet and each turned in a solid performance.
"I can't think of a better way to open the season," said Butler head coach Matt Roe. "To come up to Notre Dame and have dominant performances really sets the tone for our program. It is evident that our group had a great winter break of training."
Junior Rob Mullett, running in his first indoor meet for the Bulldogs, led the way with a pair of strong efforts. He won the men's mile in 4:10.62, finishing the last half mile in 2:01 to edge teammate Steve Lisgo (4:11.54). He then came back 40 minutes later and placed third in the men's 800, perhaps the meet's most exciting race. Kevin Labus of Notre Dame won the 800 in 1:53.00, just a fraction of a second ahead of Butler's Kris Gauson (1:53.40) and Mullett (1:53.64).
Rob is really fit, without tapping into any speedwork yet," noted Roe. "He has positioned himself well to have a breakout season."
Butler also had two runners finish in the "Top 3" in the men's 3,000. Sophomores Matt Lawder (8:39) and Madison Roeder (8:40.19) finished second and third, respectively, in the distance event.
In the women's competition, senior Marbeth Shiell placed fourth in the mile run (5:07.22) and junior Sara Bird came in seventh in the 3,000 (10:42.61).
The Bulldogs will be back in action at the Gladstein Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 23-24.

By Stephen J Thomas
MELBOURNE, Feb. 6. AUSTRALIAN Olympic and world champion, Michael Klim is to undergo a microscopic discectomy today – an operation that requires the removal of the fragment of the disc in his lumbar spine that is impinging on the sciatic nerve. Surgeons will also shave away bone from his vertebrae to give the nerve space to heal.
Klim had a nerve-block operation last week in a last attempt to avoid a major back operation. However, specialists in his home town of Melbourne concluded from a series of scans taken that the surgery was essential immediately.
Klim was unable to be seated during his press conference yesterday, forced to kneel on the floor to address the attending media. "Basically I can't sit, I can only lie down or stand up, and I've been having difficulty sleeping," he said. "I've been kneeling for every meal for the last few weeks … I was swimming with a broken ankle in Japan last year (World Championships) and that was really painful, but I'll tell you what, this is even worse."
It has been a very difficult eighteen months for the 100 fly world record-holder since he missed individual Olympic gold in Sydney (taking silver in this event behind Swede Lars Frolander). Then last year before the World Championships in Fukuoka, Klim fractured his ankle after already having a major disruption to his training when long time coach Gennadi Touretski was charged with possession of steroids, first suspended, then reinstated six months later. Touretski, then had triple-bypass heart surgery in late October and Klim shifted from the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra to Denis Cotterell's leading Miami squad on the Queensland Gold Coast.
The operation will see him miss three major international events this year. The World Short Course Championships in Moscow, the Commonwealth Games in Manchester and, most likely, the Pan Pacific championships in Yokohama. "I'm looking long-term, to be in the sport for a long time," Klim said. "I'm only twenty-four and believe I can swim until I'm over thirty, so this is a move for the future."
Klim will have to be patient, the Australian team doctor Brian Sando said the operation was a major procedure never undertaken lightly and generally required three and six months of rehabilitation.

Sources of Revision to Components of Real GDP Real GDP growth in the first quarter (that is, from the fourth quarter to the first) was 1.0 percent (annual rate), which was 0.1 percentage point more than the preliminary estimate. Upward revisions to exports, to consumer spending, and to business fixed investment were partly offset by an upward revision to imports and a downward revision to inventory investment: * The upward revisions to exports and to imports primarily reflected the incorporation of the annual revision of the international transactions accounts on a best-change basis. * The largest contributor to the upward revision to consumer spending was medical care services, which reflected the incorporation of newly available first-quarter and revised fourth-quarter data from the Census Bureau quarterly services survey. * The largest contributor to the upward revision to business fixed investment was prepackaged software, also reflecting the incorporation of the Census Bureau quarterly services survey. * The largest contributor to the downward revision to inventory investment was "mining, utilities, and construction inventories," reflecting the incorporation of Census Bureau quarterly financial report data for mining and Energy Information Administration data for utilities. The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 3.6 percent in the first quarter, which was 0.1 percentage point more than the preliminary estimate. The revision primarily reflected an upward revision to the price of medical care services in consumer spending, which was based on a revised Bureau of Labor Statistics producer price index for physician services. Corporate Profits Profits from current production decreased $5.2 billion, or 0.3 percent (quarterly rate), in the first quarter, in contrast to an increase of $5.2 billion in the preliminary estimate. Profits of domestic corporations increased $17.6 billion, and rest-of-the-world profits decreased $22.8 billion in the first quarter. Profits tax liability decreased $32.6 billion, reflecting the bonus depreciation provisions of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 (see the GDP news release), and profits after tax from current production increased $27.3 billion, or 2.5 percent. Annual Revision Scheduled for July 31 The GDP news release on July 31 will present the regular annual revision of the national income and product accounts, covering the estimates from the first quarter of 2005 through the first quarter of 2008, as well as the advance estimates for the second quarter of 2008. The revision will incorporate source data that are more complete and more detailed than those previously available, including: * Census Bureau annual surveys of manufactures, of merchant wholesale trade, of retail trade, of services, and of state and local governments; * BEA international transactions accounts data; * Federal government budget data; * Internal Revenue Service tabulations of tax returns for corporations and for sole proprietorships and partnerships; and * Department of Agriculture farm income statistics. The annual revision will also incorporate refinements to estimating methodologies, including the following: * Within personal consumption expenditures for goods, the estimates of the composition of goods sold in grocery stores will be based on scanner data from a trade source. (The value of total sales of grocery stores, however, will continue to be based on Census Bureau monthly and annual surveys of retail trade.) The use of scanner data will improve the accuracy of these detailed estimates. * Within personal consumption expenditures for services, the deflator for domestic airline services will be based on the BLS producer price index (PPI) for domestic scheduled passenger air transportation. The deflator for passenger travel abroad by U.S. residents on U.S. carriers will be based on the BLS PPI for international scheduled passenger air transportation (on U.S. carriers). The BLS PPIs reflect a new and improved methodology that provides more accurate estimates of airline prices. Currently, the deflator for domestic airline services is based on cents-per-revenue-passenger-mile data for domestic carriers from a trade source. The current deflator for passenger travel abroad by U.S. residents on U.S. carriers is based on the BLS import price index for air passenger fares. Brent R. Moulton Associate Director for National Economic Accounts Bureau of Economic Analysis (202) 606-9606

HP Envy Touchsmart Sleekbook, Boot Device Not Found. Help!
About 48 hours I ago I became the proud owner of a HP ENVY Touchsmart Sleekbook 4, running Microsoft Windows 8; about 45 hours ago I powered up my shiny new lap top computer to recieve the following message displayed on a black screen:
Boot Device Not Found
Please Install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard Disk (3F0)
F2 System Diagnostics
I have read that this is a fairly common problem with Windows 8, but I may have an extra problem on top of that; whenever I press F2 (or any of the other function keys, for that matter) to access the system diagnostics menu, nothing happens. If I hold down the key, the screen text flickers. The escape key is also useless. Is my computer seriously broken? Help me!!!!
p.s. I'm a recent convert from the Mac camp, and am not very good with computers, so if it is possible keep answers technically simple; laymans terms and what not.
Re: HP Envy Touchsmart Sleekbook, Boot Device Not Found. Help!
going to geek squad tomorrow! good luck!

Hello mrsbahr13.
If the notebook is only two months old I suggest you contact HP Support rather than take it to Geek Squad. The notebook should still be in warranty. The number is 1-800-474-6836 if you're in the US/Canada. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
Have a great weekend and a safe trip!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

How did Michelle Williams end up on the cover of a magazine in redface?
I often feel invisible. When I tell people that I grew up on an Aboriginal reserve, they look at me like I'm a mythical unicorn, even though more than a million people in Canada identify themselves as First Nations, Métis or Inuit. I probably wouldn't have thought we existed either if I hadn't grown up on the Six Nations reserve in Southwestern Ontario. Back then, I only saw people who vaguely looked like me on CBC's North of 60. It was slim pickings as far as cultural references were concerned.
But today, instead of homages rooted in realism like the CBC offered in the '90s, all I see in the mass market is a shiny commercial version of "Native Americans" rooted in stereotypes from westerns, Disney cartoons and sports mascots.
Controversial fashion trends: Fashion's obsession with ASIA
Last November, No Doubt released their "Looking Hot" video, which showed Gwen Stefani writhing in a teeny buckskin outfit and headdress. The video was pulled after the public let the band know that it wasn't, in fact, hot (or "hella good"). No Doubt issued the requisite apology, telling their fans that "being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are." Within a few weeks, Victoria's Secret found itself in the same situation when it dressed Karlie Kloss in a bikini and full headdress for the runway grand finale—even though the headdress is revered and intended for respected leaders. Victoria's Secret apologized and agreed to remove the look from the broadcast version of its show.
Jeremy Scott—whose slave-inspired "shackle" sneakers were pulled by Adidas last June—released a questionable spring collection (for Adidas Originals) that features distinctly cartoonish references to totem-pole carvings. To Pacific Northwest Aboriginals, totems symbolize the important history of community and family. To Jeremy Scott, they seem to signify nothing more than a funky new pattern for A$AP Rocky and Rita Ora to wear.
It's disheartening that so few people are aware that headdresses, bonnets and totem poles are still spiritually relevant to vibrant Native cultures. To glamorize—or make light of—the misuse of dated and cartoonish images is to support a legacy of genocide and racism. The after-the-fact apologies aren't enough. While groups like No Doubt may say they never meant to "offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history," they did.
How can anyone assume that referencing "Indian" motifs without care or caution wouldn't be hurtful, trivial or, indeed, racist? I was dumbstruck when I saw the spring/ summer issue of AnOther Magazine. The biannual fashion and culture publication photographed Michelle Williams wearing black braids, a sad expression and what could arguably be considered redface. (Imagine your reaction if she'd been wearing blackface and cornrows.) In response to an immediate backlash, the magazine echoed those other apologies, writing "While we recognize the seriousness of this debate, the image in question in no way intends to mimic, trivialize or stereotype any particular ethnic group or culture."

Pope Francis recently consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and now Franciscan University of Steubenville is hosting a member of the Vatican Secretariat of State to speak about Mary, according to the University.
Monsignor Florian Kolfhaus will speak on "Mary's Role in the Redemption and the Contemporary Church" this Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Renfro: 'I don't view myself as a hero'

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze isn't running from the Rebels' NCAA troubles, but told ESPN.com on Monday that to accuse him or anybody on his staff of knowingly breaking the rules would be wrong. "The first thing I would say is that I own it. That's part of it when you're the head coach. You take the good with the bad," Freeze said. "But there's a big difference between making mistakes in recruiting and going out there with the intent to cheat. I don't have any information that anybody on my staff has been involved in any illegal payments to players or offering any inducements to players, and if I did have that information, I would fire them."
Jim Grobe statement on his hiring as Baylor's interim coach today: "It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to join the Baylor football program during this important time. I am looking forward to getting to know and working with the coaches and players in the coming days, and I have great respect for Baylor as an institution and its long-standing heritage. As a coach, winning is important. At the same time, I want to assure the Baylor family that every decision we will make in this football program will be made with Baylor University, her students and our student-athletes in mind."

With ESPN 300 receiver Hezekiah Jones' decommitment from Baylor Saturday evening, the Bears' 2017 recruiting class is essentially down to one commitment. While both ESPN 300 quarterback Kellen Mond and three-star safety Jalen Pitre remain officially committed, Mond is actively looking at Ohio State, Auburn and other schools. Jones backing off his commitment is a big loss for the Bears, but it also isn't a major surprise. Jones, the No. 16 receiver in the country, has continued to be heavily recruited by Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and many others even though he was a longtime Baylor commitment.
As expected, Baylor is getting hammered by rival recruiters trying to lure away players that signed this past February as part of a top-20 class and the remaining three commits in the 2017 class. It's still not clear whether or not the signees will be given releases from their letters of intent, but many like No. 1 offensive guard Patrick Hudson don't plan to enroll in summer classes on Monday and are talking with other schools.
Another day, another player backs out of his pledge from Baylor. Saturday evening three-star safety Donovan Stiner tweeted he was no longer pledged to the Bears. This is the third recruit that has backed off a commitment to Baylor since Art Briles was fired Thursday. The Bears now have three commitments in the 2017 class, and two of those commitments are actively looking at other schools.
Baylor's KD Cannon, one of the Big 12's top returning wide receivers, posted the following on his Twitter account tonight to address rumors he could transfer: "BAYLOR IS MY HOME AND THATS WHERE I WILL STAY AND FINISH MY COLLEGE CAREER."
Baylor lost its second commitment since Art Briles was fired when Houston (Texas) Bellaire lineman Jayden Peevy backed off his pledge Friday night. The Bears are now down to four pledges in the 2017 class, and two of those commits are actively looking around at other schools.
The NCAA combed the Ole Miss campus for three years and found that student-athletes received a little more than $16,000 in extra benefits. Ole Miss paid $1.5 million in legal fees for outside counsel. Yet, because of new information surrounding Laremy Tunsil, this whole thing isn't over. Who knows how long this could really drag on?
A lot of folks in the media have speculated Texas and Texas A&M could benefit big time from Baylor signees if they get released from their national letter-of-intent, but several recruiters told me today TCU could be the biggest beneficiary. Quite a few of Baylor's 2016 recruits had the Horned Frogs as finalists.
Per a source, Baylor RB signee Kameron Martin doesn't plan to enroll next week and has asked for release from his letter of intent. Martin was a 4-star recruit and had been committed to Baylor since July 2014.
The Hall of Famer wasn't known for his trash talk, but that doesn't mean he never tried it.
Mike Golic thinks you could "pour ammonia" on the entire Baylor football program and wipe it clean, but he would have started by letting go of the president, athletic director and coach Art Briles.

Worth), Jason Myre (Computing Center), Charlotte Russell (Computing Center), Dennis Scroggins (Enterprise Information Systems/Computing Center), Alana Skoric (Enterprise Information Systems/Computing Center), Jon Walker (Computing Center), Scott Windham (Computing Center), David Wright (College of Education)
Minutes from February 7, 2003, February 21, 2003, March 7, 2003, and April 4, 2003 were approved as written.
5 Categorization Restructuring
Axton Grams reported that the naming schema for Remedy system category, type and item fields will change. These fields will no longer reference departmental areas or generic items, but will list more specific problems. Manual ticket routing will continue to be enabled. A decision on the timeframe for archiving will be made soon. Axton provided a handout to DCSMT representatives which included information on naming conventions, measuring effectiveness, migration techniques, and web reports. The handout will be made available on the web for review. Contact Axton if you need access to the web document.
Dell vs. Compaq Servers
Maurice reported that Dell made a presentation on campus and provided good pricing on equipment. Primary interest for attendees was related to server pricing. UNT has a good history with Compaq- if there is a switchover from Compaq to Dell, pricing may be a factor; however, DCSMT is also concerned with quality and support. A unanimous decision was made to continue to periodically evaluate other vendors before deciding if a switch to a different vendor is appropriate.
Desktop Backup Solutions
Allen Bradley reported that pricing for the Connected.com software was ten times too high. Allen is waiting for better pricing from the vendor. The software will be available for evaluation next week. A working group will be developed to discuss costs, other vendors, and other issues.
Chris Cofer reported that regardless of the backup solution chosen, a back-end solution much also be selected. The solution may be expensive no matter which method/product is selected. He provided a handout on "Legato Networker Laptop" and is waiting for pricing (per user/per machine) on the product. This information will be provided to DCSMT. Chris also mentioned that Unix Services can also back-up workstations.
Connection Policy
Maurice Leatherbury reported that a revised network connection policy had been drafted. The old network connection policy had been approved but lacked information (i.e. wireless). The revision adds wireless access points, user authentication and authorization and support of personally owned devices. Wording also reflects removal of anything that negatively affects the network. The purpose of the policy is to add "reasonableness" to what is attached to the network. Send comments about the draft (e-mailed to DCSMT prior to today's meeting) to Maurice.
Old Business
Mike Wright requests IDOs for Adobe products by the end of the month. Everyone should have received data on the products which they have purchased.
Status Reports
Philip Baczewski reported that the academic mainframe (CMS, MVS) will no longer be in service effective August 31, 2003. Each person with a faculty or staff account has been notified of the termination date and an article has been published in Benchmarks.
Daren Dugan reported that he is still trying to move everyone to Netware 6 before the fall semester. Please contact Daren if you need to upgrade.
Alana Skoric requested that DCSMT members contact her if they are not receiving updates on the status of LDAP.
Pam Hight reported that Microsoft will continue to create security patches on Windows NT through December of 2004. Pam also reported that a SAN presentation will be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2003, in the library.
Tracy Hansen introduced Dennis Scroggins, new EIS team member. Dennis will be support training for the EIS project and will be working with Tracy on network support.
Joe Adamo reported that the voice mail conversion which was scheduled for Tuesday has been delayed. There is a problem on Verizon's end.
Tim Christian reported that he is still trying to get rid of old IPX workstations, and that he is deploying Mac OS X.
The meeting adjourned at 11:10 am.

6 Steps to Building a Winning Brand on Virtually Any Budget
When you're launching a business, it's important to build your brand. But what does that really mean?
Your brand is your business—it should convey your USP—unique selling proposition. It's what makes your business unique, recognizable and accepted in the marketplace.
And despite what many think, building a brand doesn't take a lot of money. If you're a small business and have little to no budget, there are some creatively strategic ways to set yourself apart from the pack and establish your brand, as well as increase visibility, bonding and sales.
Here's some food for thought …
1. Name and Image. Make sure your name clearly reflects what you do. Especially with the Internet, business names are incorporated into your domain (or URL), so a name that is synergistic to what your business actually does and is keyword rich will help with search engine marketing. Your name should also be easy to understand—not using obscure words, lay jargon or nomenclatures. There's nothing worse than a business name that is not search engine or user friendly. If you chose to pick a "creatively challenging" name, make sure from a search and human reader perspective that your tag line, opening home page copy and meta data all reflect clearly what you do and your related keywords. Lastly, your name should have a long shelf life. This just means it shouldn't be tied to a specific point in time that will "date" it or make it seem obsolete.
Your image or logo should also clearly portray who you are in a symbol or graphic. It should be eye-catching and be on most every marketing you have—website, email auto signature, letterhead, PowerPoint slides, business cards, etc.
Branding tip! When it comes to banner advertising, aside from your primary mission of the campaign, which may be for leads or sales, it's a good idea to have your name and logo somewhere on the banner ad itself (perhaps the lower right corner) for a secondary goal of branding. Your banner is going to be rotating on many websites and in networks, getting perhaps hundreds of thousands of eyeballs … that exposure shouldn't be wasted.

Almost a year after opening its doors at Puerto Vallarta's popular shopping center, Galerías Vallarta, Specialized has become a must-visit spot for local amateur and professional cyclists. A very popular brand in the United States, Specialized franchises their bicycle and accessory lines to many countries, worldwide.
The local shop features a unique lab to match your body measurements to the ideal frame for you, guaranteeing a perfect fit, according to your cycling interests, be it cycling through dirt roads, cruising about town, or packing for a multi-day excursion.
The staff is fully qualified to hold your hand, if you are a novice, to help you select the best bicycle for you. And should your bicycle need repairs and maintenance in the future, Specialized has the resources you need.
While mountain biking has been popular in Puerto Vallarta for some time—several outlets offering guided tours and such—recent interest in urban cycling has risen, along with increased awareness from motor vehicle drivers. When it comes to responsible cycling culture, there is still quite a way to go. However, several group rides organised in Puerto Vallarta on any given week makes it easier to venture into town on a bike.
This increase in popularity has, in turn, made hybrid bicycles—sturdy frames with suspension to help manage off-road exploration, and tires narrow enough for a smooth, swift ride on a paved road—quite popular in town. Specialized features several of these, along with true mountain models and the ever popular cruisers, ideal for exploring beach communities such as San Pancho or Sayulita. Learn more about Specialized by visiting their shop at Galerías Vallarta, sending them an email message or visiting their Facebook page.

text: Three weeks after I bought a Kona Jake the Snake frame and custom-built it up with carbon this that and the other, it got stolen from my garden shed. I've been totally distraught ever since, and it's only now, five months later, that I am able to bring myself to consider buying a new one. It was an 07 model in that gorgeous metallic orange paint. And I was loving it. But the 58" model is now no longer in stock. And the thing I want to know is: what should I replace it with? The new 08 model is green, not a color I much like, and without carbon fiber stays, so although it's lighter (which I like), I reckon it's not as comfortable a ride, and probably cheaper. The angles also seem to have changed, though I'm not sure whether that means it's a faster more responsive ride, or a slacker ride. Anyway, should I go for this new model? Does anyone know how I can source a 58" 07 model? Or is there something else I should try in a similar-ish price range.

Kim Kardashian: The Baby Will Not Be On Our Show
January 30, 2013 01:00 PM by Donna W. Martin
Kim Kardashian says unlike sister, Kourtney, her baby will not be on the family's show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Instead, she and Kanye prefer to keep their baby's life a little more private.
According to E! News, Kim and Kourtney appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday and talked about all things baby. And while Kim intends to remain an integral part of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she said, "The baby will not be on the show." However, later on, as the child gets older and "decides that's what they want to do, then that will be a decision" she and Kanye will make at that time.
While Kim said, "I love seeing [Kourtney's kids], Mason and Penelope on TV [and] Mason is the highlight of our show, I think," she and Kanye have decided to keep their baby out of the spotlight. She admits, "It's a tough decision [but] as of now, that's just a personal choice that Kanye and I have made…We're going to try to keep it as private as possible."
"But [what] if the baby wants to release his or her own fragrance?" Kimmel joked.
"If that's what they want to do, I will support it," Kim said.
So what did sister, Kourtney think of Kim's decision to keep her baby off TV? Kourtney admits it was a "struggle" trying to decide if she wanted her kids to appear on the show but in the end, she said, "A lot of times I feel like them being with their mom is the best thing."
Do you think it was Kim's idea to keep her baby off the show? Or do you think Kanye has put his foot down and demands more privacy for his child? Post a comment and let us know.

If Kim doesnt want her kid on TV, then she ought to get off of reality tv herself. She wants to make money off of her fans, but then doesnt' want to share her whole life with them. She can share pics of herself having sex, damn near naked, her fake marriage, and now she wants to hide her illegit baby from us. Wow. Kim wants to have it all. The sponsors ought to tell her, no baby, no show. And I bet you she'd show the baby quick fast and in a hurry. Besides, does she think her kid is better than Kourtneys? Or is it because she thinks she will be a better mommie than Kourtney? Or is it because she is trying desperately to please Kanye so that he thinks she doesnt always want to make money off of everything? Please — take her off the air!

A Killer of Lions: A Novel Based on the Heroic Deeds of the Tuskegee Airmen
ISBN13:by Weisleder, Stan
Univ Pr of New England
A Killer of Lions tells the stirring story of "Buddy" A. Bowman, Jr., who ignores racial prejudice to heed his country's call to enlist in the armed forces during World War II. Against his parents' wishes, Buddy defies the military's official policy of "Negro inferiority" and successfully bucks the system to follow his dream. Going from Harlem to the segregated South, he enters the Army, advances to flight school, and is eventually given assignments over Italy and central Europe. As part of the 332nd Fighter Group -- four squadrons of black pilots -- Buddy experiences ultimate glory over the skies of Germany fighting the Luftwaffe. On his last mission, Buddy is shot down over the Balkans and captured by the Nazis, but escapes into the Romanian countryside to join up with a band of Partisans, where he has a torrid love affair with Mariza. This compellingly authentic story of a fledgling aviator's trials of manhood filled with near death episodes is not only certain to satisfy lovers of WWII adventure stories , but is also a significant addition to the literature on African-American achievement and the heroic deeds of the Tuskegee Airmen.

PARIS: Aztecs' win is too close for comfort
LAS VEGAS -- All those wearing red and black, are you ready? One, two, three, exhale!
"I'm too old for this,'' San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said.
Winning never gets dated. But it was that kind of a tussle Thursday, with the Aztecs men's basketball team eliminating Colorado State 72-71 in the Mountain West Conference tournament's opening round.
SDSU absolutely, positively had to prevail to keep its NCAA tournament chances alive. But after the Aztecs had seemingly put the game away countless times, guard D.J. Gay toed the free throw line facing a one-point deficit with 23 seconds remaining.
Not far from Gay, a fan was giddy to prick the Aztecs' skin, chanting "NIT, NIT, NIT." But Gay sank both attempts and then watched the Rams' Dorian Green throw away a pass to ice SDSU's win -– sort of. Chase Tapley missed a free throw with five seconds left, but Colorado State(16-15) was unable to launch a shot before the horn sounded for the Aztecs (23-8).
A peek at SDSU's players revealed expressions of relief, not joy. One saw signs of escaping instead of enjoying the verdict -- of knowing that they sneaked away with a triumph and now, be careful what you wish for.
Everyone wants their name on a Las Vegas marquee, and the Thomas & Mack Center's shows SDSU vs. New Mexico at 6 on Friday night. Yep, those Lobos, the nation's No. 8 team and the class of the Mountain West, which sports a school-record 29 victories against three defeats.
"This is a game that we've been asking for, been looking forward to,'' Gay said. "We're excited.''
But the rubber game of the SDSU-New Mexico series was nearly derailed by the upstart Rams. Not only did Colorado State give the Aztecs all they wanted, it did so for the most part without its top player, Andy Ogide. The Rams' leading scorer and rebounder was banished to the locker room, ejected for throwing an elbow at Brian Carlwell with six minutes left in the first half.
With Ogide, a second-team All-MWC selection, gone and the Aztecs claiming a 10-point edge a minute into the second half, what could go wrong? Plenty.
The Rams' triangle-and-two and 2-2-1 zone defense slowed down SDSU's thoroughbreds. And instead of being demoralized by losing Ogide, the fifth-seeded Rams were energized. They took advantage of the Aztecs looking ahead to New Mexico by nearly slipping past the No. 4 seed.
"We all felt like our intensity wasn't there in the beginning of the second half,'' said Malcolm Thomas, who shared team-high scoring honors at 15 with Tapley. "As a team, we talked about it.''
Thomas put his sneakers where his mouth was. Penetrating the lane and forcing the defense to collapse, Thomas had 11 points, an assist, two blocks and four rebounds over the final 20 minutes.
"I felt like I could go to the basket and help my team,'' Thomas said. "So that's what I did.''
While Thomas carried the Aztecs in the second half, it was Tapley's show early. He scored all of his points in the first half, before his broken left hand started to bark.
But despite Tapley's pain and fantastic freshman Kawhi Leonard (12 points, six rebounds) having a so-so game, the Aztecs were poised to shift the transmission into neutral and cruise to a win. Instead, in a city where good fortune is sought at every corner and casino, it arrived for SDSU.
Fisher knew it and relayed as much to Rams coach Tim Miles in their postgame chat.
"I told him, 'We got lucky; your team deserved to win,' " Fisher said. "I've been in this game long enough to know that things happen.''

Greensboro, NC -- Within 10 years, it's possible nearly every product we buy will be impacted by nanotechnology, according to John Hardin, executive director of the office of science and technology in the NC Department of Commerce.
But what is nanotechnology? It's the ability to work at the atomic and molecular level, Hardin said.
The uses for that technology is growing, and that means more jobs.
About 250 people are expected to attend a Nanotech Conference at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro this week.
Presenters at the conference Wednesday said North Carolina has more than 70 companies and 30 university-based research centers related to nanotechnology. That ranks the state eighth in nation, they said.
The state's focus ranges from manufacturing to research.
UNC-Greensboro and North Carolina A&T University partnered to create a school of nanoscience and nanoengineering. Also, Wake Forest University and Forsyth Tech have programs.
"It's such a diverse field that you need expertise from across the economy and across academic disciplines and those need to work together. So the point of this conference is to get people from those diverse sectors together to talk to each other, to form partnerships and to come up with new and innovative ideas that will help propel the economy," Hardin said.
Drug therapies that target the cancer cell as opposed to all the other cells are examples of nanotechnology, he said. Also, the coating on auto parts to make them more heat and friction resistant is another example Hardin pointed out.
The conference continues Thursday.
Last year it was held in Raleigh. Next year the conference is scheduled in Charlotte.

February 12, 2013 — In a strong bipartisan act today, the Senate voted to renew the landmark Violence Against Women Act [4].
"VAWA has helped reduce the level of sexual violence across the country, so it's crucial for Congress to renew it. The bill the Senate passed today adds important new protections for victims and helps end the backlog of untested DNA evidence from unsolved rape cases. We hope the House will quickly pass it as well," said Scott Berkowitz, RAINN's president.
Spearheaded by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) with co-sponsor Mike Crapo (R-ID), VAWA passed today by a vote of 78-22. VAWA originally became law in 1994 but expired more than a year ago. The Senate vote sends the bill to the House for its consideration.
Sen. Leahy made one significant change to VAWA this year: he added the SAFER Act [5], which will help eliminate the backlog of untested DNA evidence from unsolved rape cases.
The SAFER Act [5], sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) passed the Senate just after Christmas. Days later, the House passed an amended version of SAFER (sponsored by Reps. Ted Poe [R-TX] and Carolyn Maloney [D-NY]). But the vote came too late to reconcile its bill with the Senate before the 112th Congress adjourned.
The House of Representatives is expected to take up the measure in the coming weeks.

Bacopa, Brain health
Memory booster, Bacopa brain health
According to the World Health Organization, mental health is "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community".
Let us see what nature has given us to help with memory booster and keep us mentally healthy. When it comes to herbs, there is one that stands out. Brahmi oil extract or Bacopa monnieri, the best that nature has to offer as herbal supplements for memory, depression help.
Read more on Bacopa based product Stress Hrx
Among all herbs available to help with memory, Brahmi or Bacopa is the first one to think. Bacopa means leaves help as a memory booster and intellectuality and it grows near water.
The importance and greatness of Bacopa is well documented. It is the best supplement memory booster, for depression, ADHD, that one could look for in a maze of herbal supplements.
As per ancient information, Bacopa has many medical and therapeutic properties such as help as memory booster, mental impairment, loss of appetite, epilepsy, fevers etc.
The most admiring property about Bacopa is its role in on improving cognitive function.
I use Bacopa oil or as a paste or as powder. At 2-5 gms per day of paste or 300mg of extract per day as pills, is what I give to my patients. The main indications that I focus on are, learning disabilities in children, anxiety neurosis, chronic neuropsychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, tensions, headaches and depressive neurosis. The ultimate finding is that Brahmi oil, pills or Bacopa extracts are a gold mine for neuro and psychiatric disorders. Bacopa is the best of the herbal supplements that acts as a memory booster.
For stress or Anxiety, a daily dose of 2-5 ml of Brahmi oil, 2-5 gms of paste or 300mg as pills or supplements would do miracles. I adjust dosage to my patients based on the intensity of the memory problems. My observations revealed that Bacopa monnieri boosts intellectual capacity by analyzing the mind, and relieving the underlying pathology.
In conclusion, Bacopa oil or as a supplement, when taken daily, would be an excellent choice for all people concerned about memory loss and depression. The US National Institute of Health has also studies posted on its site. I advise all to read them.

US trade office branches opened in Africa to support natives
Newscast Media HOUSTON—The planned opening of new U.S. trade offices in four
African countries demonstrates the U.S. commitment to supporting Africa's developing
economies, a top U.S. trade official says.
"As a new member of the Department of Commerce team, I'm very excited to be a
part of this major expansion," U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Global
Markets Arun Kumar said in an April 28 Commerce Department blog post.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker announced the expansion of trade offices
on April 17. She said that, in 2014, the Commerce Department's International Trade
Administration will open offices in Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Tanzania, in
cooperation with the U.S. Department of State. These four new offices, in addition to
one to be opened in Burma, will bring the knowledge and experience of U.S. trade
specialists into some of the world's most rapidly developing economies.
Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the world,
Kumar pointed out in his blog post, adding that the International Monetary Fund
predicts continued growth throughout the continent, as part of a broad continental
economic transformation.
"Our new offices will support White House initiatives like Trade Africa and Power
Africa, which have spearheaded a larger campaign to bolster development throughout
the continent," Kumar said.
Trade Africa is a partnership between the United States and sub-Saharan Africa,
launched by President Obama in July 2013, that seeks to increase internal and
regional trade within Africa and expand trade and economic ties between Africa, the
United States and other global markets. Power Africa is an initiative President Obama
announced in June 2013 that aims to double access to power in sub-Saharan Africa.
"As U.S. companies look to ship goods to Africa, help increase electrical capacity, or
help improve transportation networks, they will receive unparalleled assistance and
expertise from our staff," Kumar said. "With our new offices on the continent, we will
be able to find partners for American companies, help navigate regulatory hurdles,
and support the development that will make Africa thrive."
As this expansion takes place, Kumar said, "these markets are where we will truly see
the mutual benefits of trade." U.S. companies "will bring the infrastructure and ideas
that improve quality of life for citizens and they will support the partnerships that
spur innovation among local businesses," he said.
The expansion announcement "is just the start," Kumar said, adding, "I'm very excited
