My cell phone was dead — not just dying — but dead. I'm not really very good at operating any electronic device, and I know this contraption has more bells and whistles than I'll ever know, partly because the owner's manual was way beyond my skill set. Nevertheless, I'm smart enough to realize when the thing has died. No lights, no beeps, no funny little icons that I don't recognize ... just darkness on the screen.
OK. Not a big deal. I'll do just like people have done for years. I'll find a pay phone, drop in a quarter or two (I think it used to be a dime) and make the call I had to be make. But wait a minute … I soon found out it wasn't going to be so easy. After several stops and just as many exits and entrances back into my vehicle, I quickly realized I had a major problem ... Where have all the pay phones gone?
Really. Think about it. When's the last time you actually saw a pay phone? Where did they go? Last thing I knew every gas station, every restaurant, seemingly every little corner of my world had a pay phone, but now without me even realizing it, these convenient machines have slipped into extinction — the dinosaurs of the telecommunications world, so to speak.
I guess it makes sense. After all, who needs a pay phone anymore? As call waiting, caller ID and ring tones made their way into our vocabularies, those silver machines quietly faded away. They didn't say good-bye. They didn't tell us they were leaving. They didn't even wave as they rode off into the sunset to that big warehouse of obsolete items in the sky. Instead, they just left — perhaps even a bit bitter from how we had ignored them, forgotten all about them — their bellies empty of change and their dial tones fading.
I can remember making a few long distance calls on those pay phones. With stacks of nickels, dimes and quarters, you'd dial the number and wait for that nasal-sounding operator to spit out the fee: "Please deposit $1.65 cents for the first three minutes." Scrambling like small animals must have done with the dinosaurs' impending feet, you'd scurry to slip in the coins, fearful the operator would disconnect your call if you didn't hurry. Always with a few dimes and nickels scattered on the floor of the pay phone booth, you'd hear a "Thank you," and the operator would connect your call.
If you were lucky, you'd hear that familiar voice on the other end of the phone. Unlucky? The person you were calling wouldn't be home, and all that change (hopefully) would be returned to you in a little silver cup. Worse case scenario? You dialed wrong, a stranger would answer, and the hungry pay phone would swallow up your coins in its metal belly without one bit of remorse.
Yes, the pay phone has become obsolete. With cell phones in our purses, our cars, clipped onto our belts and nestled in our pockets, these tiny gadgets, full of more technology than I'll ever attempt to understand, have pushed over the big boy pay phone and sent them on down the telephone line.
It was fast; it was quick. Like many of the items we knew so well that intertwined themselves in our existence, the pay phone is gone — leaving only the memories of what was and what will never be again.
And somewhere in the not too distant future, a Grandpa or a Grandma will be having a conversation with their grandchild, telling them of a silver contraptions where you would deposit coins in their bellies and make a telephone call. The children will be wide-eyed ... as they ask their grandparent to wait just a minute — as they answer the phone that is ringing inside their pocket.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
Just think: you might have gone to high school with a trained assassin. Not that you should worry, unless, of course, you happen to be a bad guy. The unlikely convergence of a high school reunion and an assassin's career crisis is absolutely hilarious, although at times gruesome. Throw in a long-lost love and you have the perfect combination of action, comedy, romance and drama . . . John Cusack style.

Around Spitsbergen (Softcover, ProLine Pearl Photo Paper)
Landscapes and Wildlife
de Paweł Czarnul
Acerca del libro
The album contains descriptions of observations and corresponding photographs taken during an expedition conducted around Spitsbergen in July 2012. The latitudes of the visited locations ranged from 76° N in the south up to over 81° 14' N in the north reaching the sea ice far north of the Svalbard archipelago, well above any land towards the North Pole.
The short summer attracts huge numbers of birds that come and breed in this region thanks to the food rich waters. Seals, walruses and many species of whales also benefit from sea food. The Polar Bear - the symbol of the Arctic - relies heavily on populations of seals. Constant supply of food is especially important for females with young cubs who come out of dens early in the year. Females, who have had no food for a few months, now need to hunt efficiently to be able to feed their young ones. Cubs do not have experience and do have to learn everything from their mothers. The bears that spend summer in Spitsbergen, look for food on islands. In particular, such bears search for nesting birds. Arctic Foxes or Glaucous Gulls hunt for smaller sea birds residing in huge numbers on steep cliffs. There is a population of the Svalbard Reindeer in the region, a small subspecies of Rangifer tarandus. During the expedition the author photographed birds that appeared in considerable numbers such as Little Auks, Brünnich's Guillemots, Black Guillemots, Kittiwakes, Common Eiders, Arctic Terns, Barnacle Geese, Glaucous Gulls, Snow Buntings, Great and Arctic Skuas but also rare ones such as Sabine's Gulls and Ivory Gulls.
Finally, landscapes, either seen from a plane, mountainsides or the sea level are just magnificent. Although the sun
is above the horizon 24 hours a day in July, the 10pm-2am hours often offer spectacular side or contra light for unforgettable experiences of the surrounding scenery.

Ryan Callahan:
"We need to battle this team and we didn't do it."
"I thought we had to capitalize on our power play, which we didn't do. We got out worked. We got out-executed, and it's just an unacceptable game at this time of year. It's an unacceptable game at any point in the year. We didn't do what we need to do, and I take full responsibility for that. We weren't good enough, my line, in the defensive zone, and we consider ourselves as one of the top lines on this team and we have to be better at this time of the year."
On the goal drought:
"It has a lot to do with the way you work. I think you create your own bounces and your own breaks. I'm a believer in that. And we're not working hard enough to get the bounces."
"Tonight we didn't have that good defensive mindset, and when you do that and you're only scoring one or two games, you're going to lose the game."
"You have to move on. You have to have a short memory in this game, and with the fight we're in right now for the playoffs, we can't do anything but move on. If we dwell on it we're going to find ourselves in some trouble. This team's been good bouncing back after a couple of hard games throughout the year and if we continue to do that, it comes down to a four-game season. So we've got to be ready."
Dan Girardi:
"We know how they play. When we were successful against them we were getting pucks in deep, taking care of our ice down low, and there was not much of that going on today. We had, I thought, some decent chances, and Montoya played pretty good for them, but that's a real tough game for us, I think, going forward."
"It's a lot of stuff not going right. (The power play) is part of it. We had a bunch of power plays there, and if we get one there, maybe one or two, it's a different game. But that's the way things happen. They took the game over."
How does this happen after the Buffalo game?
"I don't have an answer right now."
Brian Boyle:
On whether the Rangers were unhappy with the way the Islanders used their tough guys at the end of the game:
"I've got no control over that. I've got no comment."
On what needs to be said:
"Nothing has to be said. You can see what happened over the last two games (if) we don't play the way we have to play. The preparation's there. We know the importance of these games, it's a matter of doing it and doing it every shift, and just taking responsibility, each guy, and doing whatever you can to help the team win.
"We started off alright … it's not a lot of time left and we're not guaranteed anything, obviously. We haven't clinched anything by any means. So, it's tough. You wonder what happened. I'm sure we'll find out. The coaches will let us know."
Does the preceeding 8-1-1 stretch help get them through this?
"Not really. Losing sucks. We know we can play well. We already knew that. We've had some success and we've had some downs n the season, too. You want to be a playoff team, and you want to be successful in the playoffs like we think we can be, it's a bad time of the year to go through a bad couple of games like this."
Henrik Lundqvist:
On being pulled:
"It's Torts' decision. You'll just have to ask him."
"Sometimes it's easy to move on when it's really bad. You just have to forget about it. We're probably going to sit down and talk about it, learn from it, and be better."
Brandon Prust:
On Tortorella being upset with the Islanders coaches for the rough stuff at the end:
"I don't know too much. I wasn't really paying attention to that. They seemed to be coming after us a little bit. You've got to be ready for that. We've got tough guys on this team. We should be able to take that."
"It's disappointing to say the least. It definitely wasn't what we were looking for. Every game's huge and this is the biggest game of the year for us and we were a no-show."
"They took it to us at the start. We got some power plays and got some momentum and we didn't capitalize on our power plays. It seemed they got some momentum after that and then we couldn't get it back."
"We need to put this past us, learn from our mistakes. We can't afford to lose any more here in the stretch."

The Kim Kardashian/Paparazzi Truce Has Ended. Begin The Ass Wars!
For the record, I really am trying to limit the amount of Kim Kardashian posts on here even though you people have repeatedly demonstrated you'll click the shit out of anything that has to do with her giant butt, so really I just wasted both our time with this sentence. Anyway, what you're witnessing here are more than just new shots of Kim at the gym this morning, but something that would've never happened a year ago which proves my theory that this baby is a Hail Mary pass to maintain relevancy (and sell sex tapes). You see, the paparazzi never used to go near Kim's butt, and not just for general safety but because they had an agreement that she'd tell them where she was as long as they never shot her from behind. Granted, you still got the occasional butt shot because physics, but never would you see one of them get close enough for a prostate exam. It's downright brazen. Although, not as brazen as her trying to hide it by pulling down the back of her shirt. I have depth perception, you bitch!

TI's Art Basel Miami dance card is filling up fast. Dec 3rd is marked off for the dinner to celebrate the opening of the Miami Beach Art Photo Expo "In Fashion 07" . Staged in a 30,000 sq foot space the expo runs from Dec 2-9th and is curated by the legendary Marion de Beaupre' . It features the work of photographers Miles Aldridge, Matthew Brookes, Elaine Constantine,Christiane Draffehn, Juan Gatti, Rene Habermacher and Jannis Tsipoulanis, Seb Janiak,Jean Pierre Khazem, David Lachapelle, Serge Lutens, Ali Mahdavi, Jean Baptiste Mondino, Thierry Mugler, Michael James O'Brien, Stephane Sednaoui, David Seidner, Wing Shya, Kanjo Take, Max Vadukul, Willy Vanderperre and Ellen von Unwerth. What we're most excited about is a chance to encounter the work of Lutens. The full on fantasia that his late 60's and 70's work involves looks especially right for now and is ready for the inevitable revival. Plus Thierry Mugler's work with the his fearless vamps posed against monumental architecture is ready to be jacked by some smart young photographer. Jumping on THAT bandwagon, pronto!

Topic: Questions about Whipple procedure
My backstory:
Diagnosed Aug 6, 2010 at age 28
Liver Resection Aug 12, 2010- remaining liver failed
Liver Transplant Aug 25, 2010
Normal MRIs for 2+ years
Fast forward to Oct 1st- I wake up in the middle of the night to excuriating pain that radiates from the center of my back to my sternum wrapping around my right side. Blood work, CT scan, 2 ERCPs later, it is determined that my CCA is back and in what is remaining of my native bile duct. A PET scan shows no evidence of metastatic diseases. My doctors have decided to do a Whipple. Surgery is scheduled for Monday Oct 22.
Does anyone have experience with the Whipple? Also any literature regarding the Whipple post tx would be appreciated.

COLUMBUS GROVE — Columbus Grove council members reviewed a
preliminary estimate for development of the Uptown Commons park at the
intersection of High and Sycamore Streets during Monday's meeting.
estimate included grading, a stamped concrete sidewalk, decorative
lighting, benches, yard drains, a pergola and brick pavers. The maximum
projected cost for this development was estimated at nearly $100,000.
Looking over the list, council members agreed there were areas where they could possibly cut costs.
we do want it to look nice," said council member Skyler Mayberry. "It
is a focal point for the community and that is important."
lot, now owned by the village, was the former site of Christie's on the
Square. The building sustained substantial damage during the June 2012
derecho and had to be torn down.
"We have to decide if we plan on
moving forward with this and how fast," said Mayor Ken Wright. He said
some people had indicated they want to donate toward the project, but
first wanted to know the approximate cost.
"Now we know that,"
said Wright. "What is the next step?" Everyone agreed the next step was
to proceed with taking donations and donations-in-kind for the project.
Mayberry said this would not be a park of names, where donors have their names on plaques in the park.
"We plan to honor all of these people, businesses and organizations, during the dedication of the park," Mayberry said.
Anyone wanting more information on donating for the Uptown Commons Park can call 419-659-5157.
discussion was held on the sewer rates for the village and the possible
purchase of digital water meters. During the Feb. 24 meeting council
members were given a $360,000 estimate to purchase 900 digital meters
for the community.
Council member Pete Langhals questioned if the
purchase of new meters was necessary. He said what council has to
consider is it takes so much to run the water and sewer department and
how are they going to generate the money to raise this amount. He
questioned if spending $360,000 was the way.
During the Feb.
meeting it was indicated a lot of water is being used but not billed,
indicating the current meters are inaccurate.
Some council members
felt they needed to purchase the new meters so people are accurately
billed for what they use. No decision was made as council is waiting for
village administrator Jeff Vance's report from other communities that
use the digital meters.
Council also approved a resolution placing
a ten percent penalty on homes that the community has to tear down.
During last month's meeting council member Mark Kohls had said there
needed to be some type of penalty when people choose not to do the work
themselves and make the community do it. The ten percent is on the cost
to Columbus Grove to tear down the structure.
Council also approved a resolution officially to have a sesquicentennial committee chair person and committee.

A group of 28 Jacksonville Jaguars players practiced together at an area high school today.
This was the largest group of Jacksonville teammates to get together during the NFL lockout, as the team had previously been practicing in smaller groups.
The Associated Press reports that amongst the 28 players in attendance were rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert, starting quarterback David Garrard, cornerback Rashean Mathis and defensive end Aaron Kampman.
Per AP:
"It's been a blast," Gabbert said. "It's good to get out here with the guys and have the opportunity to work out a little bit and throw the ball around."
Getting Gabbert reps with teammates will be huge for the youngster if he is to play a big role this season.
The Jaguars feel that working together this offseason will create a competitive advantage once the season officially begins.
"We've been working (in groups) two months and not many teams can say that," Mathis said.
Other squads are beginning to work together in similar sized groups, but the you have to believe any small work will pay off at least to a certain degree.
Some notable players that weren't in attendance were Maurice Jones-Drew and Marcedes Lewis, as both are from California and are currently on the West Coast.
Edit: Tania Ganguli of Jacksonville.com wrote on twitter that these practices began May 25 and will take place every Wednesday. Practices are held at Atlantic Coast High in Jacksonville.Tags: Blaine Gabbert, Football, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Jaguars, Maurice-Jones Drew, NFL, NFL Lockout, Rashean Mathis

Seaports and ocean carriers pursue sustainable goals
Ocean carriers and ports are not often given the chance to share the stage when it comes to articulating a common strategy. Even when pursuing a similar goal, the tactics can be at cross purposes.
in the NewsOther Voices: Distribution center metrics – Are we looking at the right things? A3: Record-setting growth for North American robotics market BDO shares NAFTA risk mitigation strategies as rules may change Descartes purchase of MacroPoint has cold chain implications MHEDA announces Women in Industry conference More News
Ocean carriers and ports are not often given the chance to share the stage when it comes to articulating a common strategy. Even when pursuing a similar goal, the tactics can be at cross purposes. Yet, "Beyond the Factory Gates: Extending Sustainability into the Logistics and Transportation Sector," proved to be one of the more compelling panel discussions at last week's BSR conference in New York.
"The logistics and transportation sector can be a valuable partner for global retailers and manufactures looking to maintain and extend sustainability into their supply chains," said Raj Sapru, director, advisory services for BSR.
He also noted that a fair amount of collaboration would be needed in the future to counter public perception: "Containerized shipping is still beneath the radar for a lot of consumers."
Jacob A. Sterling, head of climate and environment sustainability for Maersk Line, agreed, observing many of the advances in transport technology have yet to be properly recognized.
"Consumers see their goods arriving at the retailers in trucks and fail to consider how complex the supply chain really is," he said. "Meanwhile 3 percent of global GNP is moving on one of our vessels on any given day."
And moving at a slower, more sustainable pace, he added.
Maersk was one of the first carriers to introduce "slow steaming" a few years ago, and it has since become a common practice among all modern fleets. But not without some sacrifice.
"Initially, moving at a reduced knot speed took its toll on some ship engines," said Sterling. "But Maersk learned how to reengineer around this problem, and we shared this technology with the carrier industry. Now 50 percent of the world's vessel operators have reduced emissions by reducing velocity."
What's more, this has made had a positive impact for the Port of Seattle, said Linda Styrk, its managing director.
"Because we are closer to Asia than any other U.S. port, Seattle has benefitted by attracting new business," she said. Now billing itself as "The Green Gateway," Seattle is promoting shorter ocean transit times and lower fuel consumption.
In May of last year, the port released the results of a study revealing that Puget Sound ports offer the lowest carbon footprint for cargo shipped by sea from Asia to major markets in the Midwest and East Coast, said Styrk.
"This is a competitive advantage that we believe will attract higher cargo volumes through our load center," she added. "And, it's an environmental advantage because those same shipments require less fuel, and therefore lower greenhouse gas emissions, from point to point."

Did you know?
Dlamini figurines from Zulu-lulu have been given out at award ceremonies for South African Airways, Absa bank, the Business Trust and Avis.
Together with a team of talented local artists, Trayci Tompkins from Zulu-lulu creates a range of unique functional and decorative clay products. On the Zulu-lulu website, Tompkins says that she feels inspired by South Africa's colourful and diverse cultures. 'I am passionate about sharing my skills and talents with others who would otherwise never have had the opportunity to work as full time artists,' she explains.
Tim Dlamini is one of the studio's success stories. He (with help from Tompkins) created the small clay sculptures now known as 'Dlaminis'. These expressive characters enact a range of motions that mimic the way the women of South Africa carry books, baskets of fruit, water, wood or other things on their heads. The figures have become so popular as corporate gifts and private collectors items that he now makes them together with seven of his colleagues to keep up with the demand.
Tompkins has more than 15 years of experience in the slow art of 'hand-building' clay pots. Together with Dlamini and the rest of her team she uses a technique known as raku-firing. This traditionally Japanese form of pottery uses low baking temperatures and random firing, which gives all products a signature glaze and a distinctive crackle effect that is completely different from pots thrown on a traditional potter's wheel.
Along with the Dlamini figures that helped turn Zulu-lulu into a thriving business, the Zulu-lulu artists love to create usable kitchenware and other quirky household items that can be made to order. They currently produce a range of over 80 products. These include cheese boards, dip bowls, jugs, jars, tapas bowls and wine coolers; the only limits are the ones imposed by their imaginations.
Tompkins also creates widely sought-after hand-coiled vessels and one-off sculptures under her own name.

I figured it may be interesting enough to warrant its own thread rather than being placed in the lottery discussion thread...
Cleveland Cavaliers win NBA lottery, No. 1 pick; Minnesota Timberwolves get No. 2 pick - ESPN
Wolves general manager David Kahn said he knew Minnesota was "dead" when it got down to the final three of himself, Utah executive Kevin O'Connor and Nick Gilbert.
"This league has a habit, and I am just going to say habit, of producing some pretty incredible story lines," Kahn said. "Last year it was Abe Pollin's widow and this year it was a 14-year-old boy and the only thing we have in common is we have both been bar mitzvahed. We were done. I told Kevin: 'We're toast.' This is not happening for us and I was right."

I've got to create a template for a (to be generated) table and I'm wondering how to make it semantically correct.I have 4 cols but 2 of the cols contain TH's with the related TD right next to it (the numbers indicate what TD is related to what TD).
I currently added scope="row" to each TH but since I have 2 TH's in each row I'm not sure if this is correct. Normally I would split the table in 2 separate tables but the program generating the table can't do that.
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"][TR][TD]TH (1)[/TD][TD]TD (1)[/TD][TD]TH (2)[/TD][TD]TD (2)[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]TH (3)[/TD][TD]TD (3)[/TD][TD]TH (4)[/TD][TD]TD (4)[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]TH (5)[/TD][TD]TD (5)[/TD][TD]TH (6)[/TD][TD]TD (6)[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]TH (7)[/TD][TD]TD (7)[/TD][TD]TH (8)[/TD][TD]TD (8)[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]TH (9)[/TD][TD]TD (9)[/TD][TD]TH (10)[/TD][TD]TD (10)[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]
Is it feasible to make it just two columns, with the TDs all down the left side?
Nope, must be this layout.
Possibly you'd add both: headers and id attributes http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#adef-headers but it would be a pain in the neck doing that.
That is certainly the 'correct' way to go about it ... my only question is, is there any UA out there that actually uses headers and id? I'm not aware of one myself, and regardless of how technically correct it is, it seems a bit of a waste of time putting all that detail into the code if it's just going to be ignored.
@Percept - could you add in a new third column of blank cells to highlight the separation between the left and right halves?
@Percept - could you add in a new third column of blank cells to highlight the separation between the left and right halves?
Supposedly all the mainstream browsers support the headers attribute and I'd suspect so do some of the major Screen readers e.g. JAWS (Job Access With Speech), etc. as it would be theoretically easier for the AT to deal with than the scope attribute. Though as you know in real-life testing actual levels of "support" can vary.
From reading the specs, my setup is actually correct ...
> headers = [[I]idrefs[/I] [URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#case-sensitive"][CS]This attribute specifies the list of header cells that provide header information for the current data cell. The value of this attribute is a space-separated list of cell names; those cells must be named by setting their [URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-id"]id attribute. Authors generally use the [URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#adef-headers"]headers attribute to help non-visual user agents render header information about data cells (e.g., header information is spoken prior to the cell data), but the attribute may also be used in conjunction with style sheets. See also the [URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#adef-scope"]scope attribute.scope = scope-name [URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#case-insensitive"][CI]This attribute specifies the set of data cells for which the current header cell provides header information. This attribute may be used in place of the [URL="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#adef-headers"]headers](http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-idrefs) attribute, particularly for simple tables. When specified, this attribute must have one of the following values:
So I interpret 'rest' as 'everything after that'
So TH (1) is for TD (1) ... the parser find a new TH and the REST after TH (2) is only TD (2).
Not sure I agree with that ... I would say "the rest" is "everything apart from that one", not "everything after that one". I have used tables where I have had two rows of headings at the top, and it wouldn't make sense for the first <th> in each column to apply to nothing, which is the way your interpretation would work. It's for precisely this kind of more complicated situation that the ids/headers attributes were introduced.
I'd side with Stevie here; you'd be better with the headers and id, since there are only 5 rows and I'd consider it a 'complex table' since there is no current indicator; TH (1) has anything directly to do with the TD (2) cell contents. Plus I'd suspect they'd also be additional structure to the table to explain the columns themselves, etc.
The algorithm in HTML will correctly associate all your cells correctly, with no attributes necessary.
The algorithm is quite complex because tables can be quite complex and it tries to do the best thing rather than the simplest thing, so I don't recommend reading the algorithm if you just want to know how to write table markup. Its target audience is implementors.
There once existed a table inspector at http://james.html5.org/tables/table_inspector.html but it no longer exists. I've asked James if he still has it around. It was useful for testing table markup and see how the spec associates the cells.
That said, I don't know how well ATs implement table cell association or what they make of your table without assistance with headers="", but I would be surprised if they didn't associate all your cells correctly. It's a simple table, really. So my recommendation for this table is to use no attributes.
My recommendation is to do two tables of two rows each, and just place them side by side for the graphics weenies.
table1TH,TDTH, TDTH, TDTH, TD
table2TH,TDTH, TDTH, TDTH, TD
set them next to each other.
You would not need attributes for tables like this but I always use them (scope, headers very rarely but they seem to have decent support) because there's always some AT who is in a phase where they only do the right thing, or something sorta almost close to the right thing, when there are attributes. I even use summary attributes if I feel it's necessary. With summary I state in a single sentence what a sighted viewer could quickly gather about the table information structure in a glance, which can be helpful for retardedly large tables like a shopping cart. See, I'm such a rebel. Summary has been obsoleted.
According to that link, zero browsers have bothered implementing this.
The same AT can and do react differently to the same table in different browsers, so AT is very reliant on how the browser sees and reports the table. That and ATs still have lots of table bugs :/
Anyone curious about specifically screen readers and tables, Detlev Fischer has made a lot of tests in various browsers with various attributes: http://www.3needs.org/en/testing/sr-html.html
Well, the annotations aren't really being maintained. But it's not unlikely that the spec's td-th mapping hasn't been implemented anywhere yet.
I was going to suggest the same as Stomme (even tho I am a graphics person, thank you)
I mean just cant figure out , semantically, what kind of tabular data has a TH running down the middle of it. There are multiple row of TH inside a THEAD, but still its all contained in one unit. If you had a row of THs then 7 rows of data and then a TH followed by more rows of data people would have seen this as actually begin two sets of tabular data, even if your you had a first column which was all THs. This seems like the same issue but with the axes reversed.
The question one has to ask is how does TH1 actually apply/relate to TD2?
be proud! You are indeed officially not in my "grafix weenies" list, despite the handicap of being a graphicker.

Nearly 90 public law attorneys gathered in the second floor conference suite in the John Adams Courthouse in Boston for the MBA's Public Law Conference. Tuesday's conference included a comprehensive panel of speakers who shared their expertise on topics that intimately impact and involve attorneys at the municipal, state and county level.
Following an interactive morning session on "How To Be a More Effective Government Attorney," the highlight of the half-day conference came during the luncheon when Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley delivered the conference's keynote address.
MBA Public Law Section Chair Robert L. Quinan Jr., a colleague of Coakley's in the Office of the Attorney General in Boston, introduced her as "a passionate advocate for public safety."
When taking the podium, Coakley was met with much interest as she easily struck a familiar rapport with the audience when heralding the work of public attorneys. "There is no better way to serve the public or be more patriotic," Coakley said. "Public law is more challenging today, but it is more important than it has ever been," she added.
She encouraged the group to reinvigorate its role as attorneys and to highly value its collective role in addressing the "gaps" in the system and its influence in changing regulations and laws. "We help the system work," said Coakley, the state's first female attorney general.
When commenting on her relatively new role, she encouraged those in attendance to reach out to the Office of the Attorney General. "We are open to new ideas," said Coakley, who explained that she and her staff are still getting used to the transition since she took office earlier this year.
She welcomed comments and questions following her remarks. When asked how Massachusetts was perceived by other attorneys general across the country, Coakley explained that "the quality of work that is done here is highly respected," and she credited the path paved before her by former Massachusetts Attorneys General Thomas F. Reilly and Scott Harshbarger.
Coakley's upbeat remarks concluded the MBA's first-ever Public Law Conference. Look for more comprehensive coverage of the Public Law Conference in the July/August issue of Lawyers Journal.

Thank you, RPS, we got moderators. Now what to do with them...
This is an open post to Jim Rossignol and the rest of the RPS hivemind who frequent or at least look at the forums that we the RPS Planetside 2 community badly need a moderator for our sub-forum who can at the very least sticky important threads to the top of the sub-forum so they stop wandering off and getting lost.
Ideally this person could also close off/merge or at the very least discourage people from posting multiple threads which discuss the same topic. We currently have several topics, all discussing the same things with information scattered around them. Some of this information is repeated and some of it is buried and lost. Most of it is difficult to find.
I think it's agreed that with the success of our Call to Arms nights, which Mr. Rossignol had a huge part in by announcing and reminding everyone of them on the front page that our RPS PS2 community has grown. We have members in this sub-forum who joined the forums just so they could be appart of the RPS Vanu, NC and TR community. We have the youngest sub-forum of any of the sub-forums but it's already on it's way to being the largest with only the ARMA sub-forum containing more topics.
So please, could we get a moderator in here to help us out. To make it so that new players can easily find out important information such as how to join us, when we play, who we play, how to use mumble etc etc. So we can cut back on the cross topic conversations and the duplicate threads.
If you agree that we need a moderator (and I really hope you do), we would be happy to put forward members of our community for the task. I believe people have already been in contact with you about Cooper, the man who made this "mess" in the first place. He is a fine candidate and we have several others if needs be.
I will be sending a link of this topic as well as a copy paste of the body of the post to Mr. Rossignol.
It would be great if everyone who wants a mod could chip in here to show their support, and anyone willing to be a mod speak up. Anyone willing to support that person as a mod please speak up.
Personally off the top of my head, people I would see as being active and level headed enough to moderate the community are Ridebird, CMaster, Cooper, Esoteric, Mr.Eclectic. I would also nominate myself as I'm on this forum daily and wouldn't mind the job of keeping the place a bit tidier.
Please for the love of god can we keep all future discussion of a moderator to THIS THREAD ONLY!!!

QuantaCat, Cooper, and MrEclectic all now have moderator powers. Please contact me direct via email (not via the forum) with any questions or concerns about this.
Thank you Jim!Find me on the Steams
Thanks so very much for this Jim!
So now that we have our mods we need to decide what topics need to be given a sticky and what ones need to be merged.
As I said previously, I believe that we need guides on
1) Our comms system, broken into two parts, one post for basic comms set up including the rules on when we use one channel or squad channels and a second for advanced comms set up (SL/RL).
2) What outfits play what nights and what they do on those nights and how to join an outfit with us.
3) A field manual on how to play the game, what icons to look out for, how to work as a team and a very top level explanation of classes, weapon types and vehicle types (ie, shotguns are good at X and bad at Y, not "this shotgun has a 0.0024% differential pull on the 3rd shot causing you to drag up").
4) An ongoing AAR.
This topics should then be locked and only edited by the author of the guide or the mods. Alternatively they should link to a google doc, but I think keeping everything on the forum would be best.
Everything else will be popular enough to rise to the top (discussions, off topic) or serve it's course then float off to Valhalla (this topic and Quantas one on a sound dude).

This is brilliant, thanks!
How come I ended up as a moderator? And how come the more I play this game the more responsibilities I get? I'm not even a balloon leader, guddammit
OK, I guess I need to get to work... So, suggested subforums:
-Outfit introduction/ guides: self-explanatory
-Outfit organisation discussion: we discuss things here, and then they end up in the guide section
-AARs, tactics and training: discussion of tactics, AARs and suggestions for training. Training schedules go in the guide section
-Planetside2 discussion: state of the game, WAS, etc
-Video & photography: self-explanatory
-OOT: banter, introduce yourself, cooking, music, etc
EDIT: No subforum creation it seems. Let me look around what I can do...
EDIT2: OK, I can sticky, I can merge threads, change thread titles, move posts. Hm, ok
Last edited by MrEclectic; 23-04-2013 at 04:02 PM.
Yes! We very much need someone who can enforce some order in the chaos thuis subforum has become. If it would be possible to also create a few further wubdivisions, that would be excellent. As it is, RPS, being the bigger of the outfits, keeps forgetting about our NC fellows, treating this place like our home, even though it's actually theirs too.
I wouldn't mind moderating to some extent, if it comes to that. I wouldn't mind if someone else did it either, though.
Edit: too late. Seems I won't have to. Nice, thanks Jim!
I'd just like to mention that I think sub-forums are totally not needed and that we shouldn't sticky or merge anything until we come to agreements on what's needed and what isn't.
Or we can all just fall under the boots of the mods! (and I'll never heal them again!)"Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""

I agree that sub-forums are unnecessary here. We really should be able to do anything we need with judicious use of stickied threads and general thread organisaiton
If we can sticky threads, lack of subforums becomes much less of an issue.
Suggestions for sticky: new threads on
- Outfits - where and who we are, how to join, events etc. Like Cooper's original, but cleaned up (locked)
- One thread per outfit - Purple giraffes & whatever thread RTRS use the most for everyday discussion
- RPS Mumble setup - locked and curated, describe in 1st post, with simplest words possible, how to play a grunt, a SL and a RO. 2nd post details for PL and how to play with strat setup.
- Guides - locked and curated by someone, comments and suggestions for additions in some other thread
Edit: threads should have names that are clear, concise and free of puns. Just to make it easier to remember what they are supposed to be about.
Yes, you have a good point. So, it seems the way to go is to agree on the stickied posts.
The way we should probably go from now on is leave the posts we agree upon stickied and locked. Whenever a change is needed, we keep the discussion in one appropriate thread, the stickied post is amended when we come to a consensus, and so on. Perhaps the stickied post contains a link to the appropriate discussion thread.
Why to separate stickies and their discussions: the size of the threads may discourage some from reading them. It is also human nature, at least a few will continue reading down the thread, instead of reading the next sticky. When they do move on to the next, the information of the previous will be polluted with comments, and they may lack the concentration to read on.
We should aim for 5-7 stickies max, which will be the bear minimum we'd expect a newer member to have read. Whenever we decide upon a change, the amount of info to be absorbed remains the same. Especially for newer members, it should be clear that what they are reading are outfit guidelines and consensus, and not a mix of guidelines, comments and opinions.
Edit: Esoteric beat me to it.

Given that, I don't think we need more than three stickies at the moment, but happy to be disagreed with.On Steam - [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/id/kyndylan/"]Kyndylan[/URL]
All guides should be locked as we've all said and your suggestion of a link to the location for discussion is a good one.
@Eso, I don't think each group/faction needs it's own sticky. One sticky to explain all the groups can be broken into three posts, one vanu, one tr, one nc, each explaining when they play, how to join, what they're about etc. And again, there shouldn't be discussion in that sticky."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""

Jesus_Phish, you explain things more eloquently than me.On Steam - [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/id/kyndylan/"]Kyndylan[/URL]
It has been posted elsewhere, but to preoccupied with other stuff now to look for it. Anyway, as Eso pointed out, we need:
- Giraffe Outfit introduction: description, recruitment info and list of main events
- Traitors Outfit introduction/guide: whatever they decide upon
- Giraffe Mumble setup
- Giraffe Outfit guides:
- Giraffe calf cert guide
- Weapon systems recommendations/guide
- Giraffe Relations Department
- TACGIR description and details
- Planetside 2 resources: links to sites with useful info and tools
Each of these should have one and only one thread where amendments, corrections etc are discussed. Even if there are other relevant threads. For instance, for weapons, WAS is the general thread, where we discuss what we like etc. Then a weapons guide discussion thread, where we discuss what needs to be changed in the guide, and the guide itself, which is stickied, locked and curated by a moderator when we arrive at a consensus about what needs to be changed.
Also, please suggest which threads should be merged.

Index thread is a must /imho
From my experience on of the most usefull threads in a forum with high post counts. Makes finding the right threads and discussions way easier. But needs someone to keep it up to date if anything increadibly important comes up. But I think we have everything covered so far.

It depends - I always tend to favour brevity, in which case I'd merge the Giraffes and Traitors into one "RPS on Planetside" thread, keep the outfit guides as one thread, and stick TACGIR in either Mumble setup or "RPS on Planetside".
But having a few more threads wouldn't be a bad thing.On Steam - [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/id/kyndylan/"]Kyndylan[/URL]

Somehow it seems a bit odd having a woman, even if she is a nun, in charge of such an operation...Couldn't the Church have sent over some men to organize the project? I thought "church planting" (as it was called in my former church) was a function of the Church, and as such, should have male leadership.At any rate, I'm getting a bit curious about this film, so I may try to watch it after all...
But it had not been in Tess's power - nor is it in anybody's power - to feel the whole truth of golden opinions while it is possible to profit by them. She - and how many more - might have ironically said to God with Saint Augustine, "Thou hast counselled a better course than thou hast permitted."
I rented this film on Netflix and I loved it. I wonder if Ansgar has seen this. Is the monastery open to visitors?
I saw the movie a year or so ago. It is a very nice movie. I'm sorry to hear that Sister Ambrosija has gone back to Russia.

NEW YORK - Too much drama, boredom and scads of irrelevant information are just some of the reasons Facebook users give for taking a break from the world's biggest social networking site for weeks at a time, according to a new study.
A report from the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project found that some 61 percent of Facebook users had taken a hiatus of at least several weeks for myriad reasons, whether they were weary from an onslaught of gossip, or for the more pious, the arrival of Lent.
Yet the use of Facebook, whether constant or not, is pervasive in America.
Of the American adults who use the Internet, 67 percent are on Facebook, Pew found. That compares with 20 percent who use LinkedIn and 16 percent who are on Twitter.
But users do come and go, some temporarily, and some for good. Seven percent of Internet users said they used Facebook at one point but no longer do. By its own count, Facebook Inc. has 1.06 billion users worldwide who check in at least once a month. This includes millions of duplicate and fake accounts. More than 150 million users are in the U.S.
The largest slice of users, 20 percent, said that they were simply too busy with their own lives to follow the constant stream of status updates, George Takei quotes and baby photos.
Privacy and security concerns, which have received plenty of media coverage, were low on the list. Only 4 percent of people gave these reasons, combined with concerns about ads and spam, as their "Facebook vacation" motivation.
And while people do take Facebook breaks, Internet users are logging in more frequently than ever, the study found.
Among other interesting tidbits:

While doing a bit of Saturday afternoon trail maintenance, I
yanked a rusty fence post free of the ground and with it, a nest of
yellow jackets. Fun Fact: Yellow jacket stingers are roughly one-third
as long as the body of the defensive insect itself.
hours later, the five points on my skin that bore the brunt of those
stingers began to itch. Around 10 p.m. that night, after numbing the
infernal scratchies with every type of anti-itch medication I could
unearth in the bathroom cupboard, plus baking soda, white vinegar and
crushed comfrey leaves, sleep seemed a possibility. At 10:15 p.m., some
super fun folk in a silver pickup began burning rubber up and down our
Meanwhile, halfway around the world and across the equator,
fighting in Gaza and southern Israel killed 10 more people, including
children. According to the BBC, during the three weeks since air strikes
in Gaza began on July 8, almost 1,100 people have been killed on both
the Israeli and Palestinian sides.
We had dinner last week with a
group of friends. The Middle East crisis was one topic of conversation
at our table. Ten, 20, 50, a thousand years ago, it was likely discussed
at other, similar gatherings. For as far back as I can remember, there
have been Middle East peace talks. As a child, I was more familiar with
the peace talks at Camp David than the recreational activities at Ohio
summer camps.
One dinner acquaintance asked the group at large,
"They're always fighting in the Middle East. It's an age-old controversy
that we're never going to fix. Why are we spending money on this?"
a sweaty, sweary, red-faced me limped in the house on Saturday with two
swollen elbows and a calf-muscle on fire, my Steven sympathized,
reckoning that I must have high-tailed it away from that angry swarm. I
hadn't, actually; in addition to the fence post, I had a grip on a coil
of barbed wire and I wanted it out of the way of any future hikers.
Luckily, I don't have an allergy to bee stings.
In the simplest of
terms, I figure the time spent by leaders of the United States, France,
Germany, Italy and Britain, and diplomats from other lands, past and
future, is time well spent. They get stung, we get stung, sometimes
critically, but some measure of humanity is gained in the effort.
far as peeling time off a 50,000 mile tire warranty to leave permanent
burn marks and an acrid odor on a country road on a Sunday night, maybe
it's due to a girl/boy/drinking problem. That one's a puzzler.

THE UK's first fully inclusive sporting venue has officially opened in Worcester.
Schoolchildren, sports stars and civic dignitaries gathered at the University of Worcester Arena for the opening ceremony on Wednesday.
The £15 million building was officially opened by Sir Philip Craven, a fives times former paralympian and president of the International Paralympic Committee.
Sir Philip described the venue as "inspiring" and said sport should be for all.
He said: "Teachers need encouragement to adopt a relatively new approach.
"Don't send kids to the Library. Open sport up and get all kids in your school participating in sport.
"This venue has been really well thought out and I love it."
David Green, the University of Worcester's vice chancellor and chief executive, said the Arena was helping Worcester and the university make an international impact.
He said: "This morning I had a call from the head of the European basketball association to congratulate me and the university and the city on this venue and what a fantastic facility it is for paralympic athletes."
Professor Green thanked all those who had supported the Arena from large organisations to individual people who may have bought a brick during the fundraising campaign.
He also pointed out the Arena was already home to the Worcester Wolves, Great Britain's Women's Wheelchair basketball team and will stage the 2015 European Wheelchair Basketball Championships.
At the ceremony, local schools competed in an inclusive zone basketball tournament, where able-bodied and disabled pupils played side by side.
Pupils from Tudor Grange Academy Worcester, Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College, Evesham High School, Christopher Whitehead Language College took part along with students from Tewkesbury High School and Baxter College in Redditch.
Tudor Grange PE teacher Lucy Taylor said: "We are trying to get able-bodied and disabled pupils to work together and learn together.
"And this event is a great way to bring the schools of Worcester together."
Worcester Wolves player Alex Owumi said: "This is my second year with the Wolves and last year we played in sports halls.
"This venue is great for the atmosphere.
"For home games we get about 1,000 people here.
"When the fans get here you can't hear anything because it's so loud.
"It's great for the city. It's something to do on a Friday night when we have a home game."

Too bad Trace was moved. I get why Trump did that, though. I like to see him with the crew he chose; there was a good rapport.
I loved this episode. I enjoyed seeing everyone getting along.
Stephan Baldwin is repugnant. So funny about his art dealer and annoyance that other people bought his art. What on earth did he think this challenge was all about?!
I hope Gary gets a chance to be PM before he is fired. I cannot imagine how that would work and looking forward to finding out!
Lisa could benefit from more being taken off her lips. It seemed, to me, that after she had them fixed she put more filler back in. What a body on that woman! She is beautiful, hot and a lovely person.
Penn doesn't offer much in terms of personality for my viewing pleasure.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Jan 30, 2013.
QuestionWe have some money we''d like to invest. We are 55, do not have cc debt, and do already have a 401K. Our FP wants us to buy a whole life policy, investing 10K every year for the next 5, then 4k for next 2 years. Our research shows that whole life is not a good investment. I''d like to put the 50K we have into buying a home in a better school district for better real estate value down the road. What would be best way to invest this 50K?
I would need more information to give you specific guidance. However, I do have some general rules of thumb when talking to investors. First, give yourself an emergency fund equal to 3-6 months of living expense. These dollars should be invested in a savings account at a bank or a short-term bond fund at a custodian such as Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, etc. Second, fully fund your retirement plan with as much as you can. This money will grow tax deferred which super charges the growth and compounding. Third, fund IRAs, either traditional or Roth, depending upon your circumstances. IRA accounts can be opened at custodians such as Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, etc. Fourth, open a regular investment account at same custodians as mentioned above. Once you have significant dollars in the aforementioned types of LIQUID investments, you can consider more non-liquid investments such as life insurance, real estate, etc. You want to be able to access funds in the event you need them—liquidity is very important--as the saying goes cash is king.
Lastly, I would take a hard look at your FP and who he works for. My bet is he works for a life insurance company which is why he is recommending life insurance. I would suggest working with a CPA/PFS; you can find one near you by visiting www.findacpapfs.org.

Field behind metal shield
Dear Users
I want to model the following simple case.
Within vacuum, a 2D body carries a surface charge. Next to it is a metal body. I want to obtain the quality of the field direction behind the metal. From theory we know that the metal is not polarizable, i.e. when subject to a field, the charge within separates in order to build up an opposing field within the metal that completely cancels the net field within the metal. The separated charge then produces a field of its own on the opposite side and so the field exits on the opposite side. I tried to model this and show it in this figure:
My question is:
How do I define the right square to be a metal, i.e. such that the field lines terminate ON the metal on the close side and not "go around it" and then exit on the far side again?
Currently, due to a lack of knowing how to define the metal, I subtract the right rectangle from the vacuum box, but that's not giving the right solution.
Thanks for help.

Re: Field behind metal shield
You can either assign a PEC (perfect electrical conductor) or impedance boundary condition or add your metal of choice to the materials node and assign the respective domain (the rectangle) to this material. This is all explained in the documentation and in many example model and tutorials.

— February 2005
By Kim Kavin
Thinking Big
|Part 2: At a base rate of about $400,000 per week, Sherakhan will take 24 guests or accommodate a whopping 140 day-passengers.
The owners of the 325-foot Christina O made a huge splash when they refitted her in 2001 to accommodate 30 guests (see "The Rebirth of Christina O," August 2002), and she has reportedly commanded close to $600,000 per week as a base rate ever since. That's the type of thing that gets the attention of men like Verkerk, just as it did several others who are also rushing to fill the mega charter market hole. In fall 2003 Swiss businessman Rene Herzog launched the 241-foot, 24-guest Giant (see "The Giant Experience," May 2004). Just six months ago Princess Tanya owner Andreas Liveras launched the nearly 280-foot, 36-guest Annaliesse. She's commanding a stunning $840,000-per-week base rate in her first charter season, as will her 280-foot sistership, Alysia. Another new competitor is the 271-foot O'Mega, which recently completed an extensive refit in Greece and will take 28 guests for a base rate of about $450,000 a week.
Sherakhan, which was expected to be completing sea trials in Europe at presstime, is like the Liveras yachts in that she hopes to get a head start in the emerging niche by building on her owners' already-solid reputation in the charter industry. Verkerk and Ryntjes managed the massive refit themselves so they could add "dream" features and design spaces they've been discussing with guests and charter brokers for several years aboard Jaguar.
Verkerk, acting as project manager, began the refit in June 2002. He cut the former Dutch education vessel down to her sheerline, extended her steel sides upward and painted them dark blue, and added an aluminum superstructure. Ryntjes handled interior design details, giving the guest decks a classic look with what she calls a modern wink: lots of teak with stainless steel accents and plenty of color. At a base rate of about $400,000 per week, Sherakhan will take 24 guests or accommodate a whopping 140 day-passengers. "Think about the festivals," Ryntjes says. "We've been at the Grand Prix and needed special permits for the day charters (aboard Jaguar). Now we won't need that."
Five of Sherakhan's seven decks have guest access. The wheelhouse deck, for example, includes a window-encased observation lounge and a Jacuzzi that fits as many as 20 people at a time. The size was an important factor to Ryntjes, who always wished Jaguar's Jacuzzi could have accommodated more people.
The glass-bottom, lighted Jacuzzi shines down into the owner's deck on Sherakhan, and the light continues to beam down through an amoeba-shape chunk cut out of that deck's sole, creating a massive atrium that overlooks the main-deck dining area. That's right—guests sitting down to a formal dinner on the main deck can see straight up to about 21 feet overhead, where the opaque glass Jacuzzi bottom sits.
Ryntjes included a piano bar with a small dance floor in the interior design, a commonsense extension of the way guests aboard Jaguar used that boat's saloon for after-hours parties. She also plans to add a harp, enhancing the luxurious atmosphere.
She included mini-bars, computer ports, walk-in closets, and safes in each stateroom, plus Jacuzzi tubs with push-button light therapy and music in each guest head. All the two-person beds are king size, and the singles are doubles instead of twins. Two suites connect to smaller cabins suitable for children, nannies, or other staff. In keeping with today's luxury standards, the owner's cabin takes up much of its entire deck and includes a private Jacuzzi and terrace, plus a revolving bed and private study.
Sherakhan's lower deck is what Ryntjes calls "a world of body pleasure," and it includes features only a charter yacht of this size could handle. There is a bar adjacent to a full-size gym, plus a massage area, sauna and Jacuzzi, not to mention a beauty salon and tanning bed.
The couple also built in features that long-serving crew members have discussed with them aboard Jaguar. For example, hatches allow for loading supplies into Sherakhan's huge bottom-deck freezers; there's a hobby room for making theme-night decorations and bedtime gifts to leave on guests' pillows; and the laundry room contains five washers, five dryers, two ironing machines, and three hand irons. "The first year I was on Jaguar, I did all the laundry myself, and I know what a (lousy) job it is," Ryntjes says. "So I tried to make it nice, with television and radio."
Sherakhan is expected to charter primarily in European waters, and DeBuse says there was a booking lined up before the yacht officially launched. Ryntjes says the Caribbean is a possible winter cruising ground if there's enough demand; if not, the yacht will stay in the Mediterranean.
The other high-capacity charter yacht owners are certainly watching how the market will evolve, as well. "Up until now, demand has increased and increased," DeBuse says. "Historically, people have known that they're limited to 12 guests. Now that they're not limited to 12, they're interested in seeing how far they can go."

Cokie & Steven V. Roberts: Posturing fails truth test
"It's time to tell people the truth," Mitt Romney said in a radio interview last spring. "And so my campaign's about telling people we've got to cut back on our spending and finally live within our means or we could face economic calamity."
He's right. Romney and his new running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, have been far franker than the Democrats about the need to rein in runaway federal spending. Team Obama's core argument — that raising taxes on the rich can avert "economic calamity" without cutting popular benefit programs such as Medicare — is simply false.
But on an absolutely critical point, the Republican candidates are not telling the truth; they're avoiding it. They will not admit an undeniable fact: Increased revenue has to be part of any serious attempt to deal with the nation's looming fiscal crisis.
As a recent editorial in The Washington Post put it: "The flawed Romney-Ryan approach is to believe that the debt problem can be solved entirely on the spending side. That is a mathematical and moral impossibility."
Start with the numbers. Ryan's famous budget proposal — hailed by Romney as "marvelous" and by many conservatives as Holy Writ — includes no new revenue measures. In fact, it would actually slash taxes, mainly for the wealthy, by $4.5 trillion over 10 years. So here's the truth: The Ryan plan would take a generation or more to reach a balanced budget.
The moral argument against Ryanomics is even more powerful than the mathematical one. With revenues off the table, his plan rips apart the social safety net. Food stamps, Pell grants, job training, Medicaid — they'd all be sacrificed at the altar of a smaller federal government.
During the primaries, Newt Gingrich denounced the Ryan plan as "radical ... right-wing social engineering." An even more damning indictment comes from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which has tightly linked arms with the Republican Party on social issues like abortion.
Last spring, the bishops sent a series of letters to the House of Representatives warning that the "moral measure of this budget debate" would be based on "how those who are jobless, hungry, homeless or poor are treated." In a direct rebuke to Ryan and the Republicans, the bishops wrote: "A just framework for future budgets cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor persons; it requires shared sacrifice by all, including raising adequate revenues, eliminating unnecessary military and other spending, and addressing the long-term costs of health insurance and retirement programs fairly."
Speaking of "shared sacrifice," Romney admitted earlier this year that under the Ryan budget, which eliminates all capital gains levies, he would pay virtually no taxes at all. By what "moral measure" could that possibly be justified?
Math and morality are not the whole story. The Romney-Ryan plan is deceitful for a third important reason: politics. Even if Republicans take the White House and the Senate, while preserving their majority in the House, Senate Democrats are sure to retain enough strength to mount a successful filibuster against any Republican budget proposal. So if Romney and Ryan want to make laws and not just speeches, they will have to compromise. And any conceivable budget compromise will require a revenue component.
In their joint interview Sunday on "60 Minutes," Romney praised Ryan as a lawmaker skilled "in finding those people that can come together and find common ground." Ryan argued that in the Republican-run House, "we're planting the seeds for bipartisan compromises on the big issues of the day to be realized next year so we can get things done."
There is no evidence to support these claims. Yes, early in his career, Ryan did work with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon on a proposal to overhaul Medicare. And he voted for bipartisan measures such as the auto bailout.
But in recent years, he's emerged as a leader of the GOP hard-liners in the House. His budgets have failed to attract a single Democratic vote. As a member of the Simpson-Bowles commission on the fiscal future, he led the opposition to an eminently sensible plan that contained $3 in program cuts for every $1 in new revenues.
House Republicans have not been "planting the seeds for bipartisan compromises." Exactly the opposite is true. The poisonous partisanship of the Obama years has made those essential compromises harder than ever.
Romney is correct in saying that Democrats are not being serious about fiscal responsibility. But when it comes to his own plans and his own running mate, he consistently fails his own truth test.
Steve and Cokie Roberts can be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
