Barack Obama's presidency has been a roller coaster ride — for the fragile economy, for his job-approval ratings and for his supporters and detractors alike. He has scored historic legislative triumphs and historic midterm election setbacks. Two months before the 2012 general election, Obama remains the most divisive American president since … well, George W. Bush.
Here are five of the high points and five low points of the Obama presidency:
Inauguration Day (1/20/09)
Obama's job approval rating peaked at 69 percent, according to the Gallup Poll, the week he made history by becoming the first U.S. president with African roots. For a few days, at least, almost all of America was swept up in the promise of hope and change — and bipartisanship.
Signing of health care reform into law (3/23/10)
Vice President Joe Biden was right. It was a "(bleeping) big deal" that President Obama managed to do what Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton could not do: Pass a law to provide health-insurance coverage for every American. True, polling indicates the law, dubbed "Obamacare" by its critics, has always had more opponents than supporters. But for sheer impact and historical import, the health-care law is the signature domestic policy accomplishment of Obama's term.
General Motors makes a profit (5/10/10)
Despite strong public opposition, Obama went forward with Bush administration efforts to rescue the failing domestic auto industry. A year later, there was big news: General Motors, the weakest of the bankrupt automakers, reported it had made a profit of $865 million in the first three months of 2010 — the company's first profitable quarter since 2007. Within a year, the bailed-out companies were profitable, saving tens of thousands of jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and across the American heartland.
Ending "don't ask, don't tell" (12/18/10)
A month after Republicans won a mid-term election landslide, the Senate approved a measure to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that had required gay military personnel to remain in the closet or face discharge. During his 2008 campaign, Obama had promised to reverse the Clinton-era rule, and he had been criticized by gay rights groups for not pushing harder — and sooner — to end the ban. On July 22, 2011, the president sent the required certification to Congress that ending "don't ask, don't tell" would not harm America's military readiness. The old policy was relegated to the dust bin of history after 18 years.
Killing of Osama bin Laden (5/11/11)
Late on a Sunday night, President Obama told the nation of a top-secret mission by Seal Team Six that resulted in the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and a decade-long reign of terrorism. The daring raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, brought bipartisan congratulations to the president who ordered the raid, led by former President George W. Bush. Obama's approval ratings spiked up. For about a month.
Ending the Iraq War (12/17/11)
At daybreak a week before Christmas, the last U.S. troops crossed the Iraq-Kuwait border at Khabari Crossing. The unpopular Iraq War, which divided the country and helped Obama defeat Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, was over after more than eight years, longer than the Second World War. For Obama, it was a campaign promise kept. For the nation, it was a relief, after the loss of 4,459 U.S. military personnel, to leave an Iraqi government in place that has maintained at least a modest level of stability.
Stock market hits bottom (3/6/09)
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which had been skidding through the final months of the Bush presidency, hit rock bottom on six weeks into the Obama administration, finishing at 6,443.27 on March 6, 2009. That marked a 54 percent drop in value since October 2007. A symbolic On May 9, General Motors stock slipped below $1 per share. Years of retirement savings were wiped out, and a pervasive sense of economic gloom enveloped Middle America.
Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize (10/9/09)
Only a few months into office — and without a major foreign policy success — Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel commitee said Obama was honored "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Conservatives erupted in protest. Radio host Rush Limbaugh called it an international embarrassment. "'What has President Obama actually accomplished?" Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steel asked."One thing is certain — President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action."
A surprised resident reacted with restraint. "I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments but rather an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations," he said.
Unemployment hits 10 percent (11/6/09)
The jobless rate crossed the psychological threshold of 10 percent in October, jumping to 10.2 percent, the highest since early 1983. Obama called it "a sobering number that underscores the economic challenges that lie ahead." The unemployment jolt damaged consumer confidence, hurt holiday sales and depressed Obama's job-approval ratings.
Town hall meetings (8/11/10)
Angry Tea Party protesters shouted at lawmakers at two raucous congressional town hall meetings with constituents, setting off two weeks of chaos at congressional meetings with constituents. "You are trampling on our Constitution!" 59-year-old Craig Miller yelled at Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter in Lebanon, Pa., in a moment that was replayed over and over on national news. Democrats were shell-shocked. Republicans used the town hall anger to define health-care reform as a government takeover of American medicine and a violation of individual rights.
Republicans take control of the House (11/2/10)
In the worst rebuke of a Democratic president since Harry Truman in 1946, Republicans gained 62 House seats, narrowed the Democratic majority in the Senate and won an overwhelming majority of governorships and state legislatures. "With their voices and their votes, the American people are demanding a new way forward in Washington," a tearful Republican House leader, John Boehner, declared. Obama admitted he had suffered "a shellacking." Nobody disagreed.

"Auction & Negro Sales," Whitehall Street. LOC Summary: Photograph of the War in the West. These photographs are of Sherman in Atlanta, September-November, 1864. After three and a half months of incessant maneuvering and much hard fighting, Sherman forced Hood to abandon the munitions center of the Confederacy. Sherman remained there, resting his war-worn men and accumulating supplies, for nearly two and a half months. During the occupation, George N. Barnard, official photographer of the Chief Engineer's Office, made the best documentary record of the war in the West; but much of what he photographed was destroyed in the fire that spread from the military facilities blown up at Sherman's departure on November 15. Date Created/Published: 1864. Civil War soldier pics provided by LOC. Original medium: 1 negative (2 plates) : glass, stereograph, wet collodion.

We've been dedicated Google Apps users for more than four years now — Mail, Spreadsheets, Docs.
We use them not because we hate Microsoft (we don't) or because Google Apps are better than Microsoft Office (they aren't), but because using Google Apps is easier, cheaper, and more convenient than installing Microsoft Exchange and emailing Microsoft Office files around.
Of course, because we are occasionally emailed Microsoft Office files and need to be able to open them, and because we occasionally need to do things that Microsoft Office apps do well and Google Apps don't, we still keep copies of Microsoft Office on most of our machines. Thus, we still pay Microsoft fat license fees for Office applications, even though we rarely use them.
Hopefully, someday, we'll stop getting emailed Office files and Google Apps will get better, and we'll just be able to drop Office altogether.
But, alas, the second part of that equation — Google Apps continuing to get better — just isn't happening as fast as we'd like.
Google Apps, it seems to us, are a classic disruptive technology: They're not as good as the market leader, but they're good enough. And, like all disruptive technologies, they're easier, cheaper, and more convenient.
The normal path with disruptive technologies, you will recall from Professor Clay Christensen's book, is that they start out easier, cheaper, and more convenient than the incumbent technology and, thereby, grab the low end of the market. Meanwhile, the more expensive incumbent — Microsoft, in this case — touts the features and power of its higher-end products and thus maintains a firm grip on the mid-market.
But then the disruptor gradually improves its products, and as the products are improved, more mid-market folks begin using them — again, not because they're "better," but because they're easier, cheaper, and more convenient. As this happens, the incumbent retreats ever higher in the marketplace, serving the "power users" who demand and are willing to pay for high-end functionality.
This keeps happening — the disruptor keeps building more functionality into its easier, cheaper, and more convenient products, and the incumbent keeps getting forced to the super-high-end of the market — until one day, poof, there are no longer enough high-end customers to sustain the incumbent's massive profit margins and the incumbent's business collapses.
As long as Google maintains a real commitment to Google Apps, we continue to think this will happen in the productivity apps market. Google continues to win big deals away from Microsoft — Berkeley just switched over to Google, for example— and Microsoft is clearly having a hard time adapting to the competition (in large part, we presume, because Microsoft doesn't want to adapt — they want things to stay exactly as they are).
But boy is Google taking its time in fixing and improving the minor annoyances and failings of Google Apps.
If Google were a small, poor company, we'd have more sympathy for this.
But Google now generates more than $10 billion of free cash flow per year.
And Google keeps falling all over itself to throw huge wads of cash at projects it thinks are cool but that have absolutely nothing to do with its current business or products — wind power, for example, and self-driving cars.
And yet, in one of its core products, a product that could allow it to deeply penetrate global Fortune 500 corporations and hasten Microsoft's demise, Google refuses to address minor frustrations.
And these frustrations, I regret to report, have now forced us to take a step backwards and use Microsoft Office — specifically, Microsoft Excel — as our primary solution again.
We're launching a cool new industry research business ( sign up for the beta here). In our cool new industry research business, we're producing a lot of charts (examples here). We like our charts to be detailed and informative ( like these). And we therefore need a lot of control over our ability to edit them.
Google Spreadsheets has a basic charting tool, but it's not as good as the one in Excel.
So, for the past couple of months, what our diehard analysts have been doing is compiling all the necessary data in Google Spreadsheets, which are hosted on a common drive and therefore available to all of us and don't have the annoying versioning problems that Excel files do (cool!), and then, EXPORTING the data to Excel to make the charts.
That's beyond annoying — what a waste of time! — but we have to do it, because Google's charting capability just isn't good enough.
And now, because the "exporting" process was wasting way too much time, we've taken that step out of the process. We've added Dropbox (a shared drive in the cloud) and just gone 100% back to Excel.
In other words, we've dumped Google Apps.
And that blows.
Because we liked Google Apps.
And we hate the idea of some "file" sitting out there somewhere that can get corrupted or saved over or mis-labeled and that can only be used by one of us at a time.
And Microsoft Office plus a Dropbox subscription obviously costs a lot more than Google Apps (free).
So we hate the fact that we've had to take this step back.
But we had to.
And the bottom-line reason why we had to is that Google is not investing enough in making Google Apps great.
We don't know why Google isn't investing more in this product. Google Apps could be insanely great. We've heard that Google's new CEO Larry Page just doesn't care about "the enterprise." (He's too busy with wind power and self-driving cars, we guess.)
But whatever the reason, in this one small part of our business, Google Apps has lost a customer and Microsoft (and Dropbox) have gained one back.
And for those who have high hopes for Google Apps, like us, that seems a shame.

Search Sexymp
A standard , joke of the original porn sites as a replacement for profuse , RedTube.com is that assign you can unexceptionally count up on to touch on you unused porn felicity at a accordance pace. Side of the Pornhub network, Red Tube is pre-eminent instead of the psychotic crowd of stunning porn videos that they give out their users march appropriate for genuinely free. The on the contrary style it's thinkable that you've not heard of RedTube.com is if you've been living out of sight a ruined after the prior decade. They've been all over instead of a desire experience and are the go-to porn location on diverse people in the world.RedTube Has Been About representing a WhileRedTube.com has a extensive dead letter dating all the character invest in to 2007 when they blue ribbon launched. That changeless year, it got listed in the cap 5 fastest growing websites at near Wired. One two years later it had an singular Alexa ranking, finishing in the cap 100 sites. It strike down down in 2010 but made a comeback in 2012. Since 2009 it was acquired about MindGeek, but it wasn't the barely song as both Pornhub and YouPorn were also bought entirely on the theatre troupe , which has been their proprietary for ever since. Red Tube is based in Texas and has servers on both North American coasts.Phew, I comprehend what I'm up in behalf of after that retelling drill , some gentlemanly grade porn! RedTube.com ( time again misspelled as "Redube", "RedRube", "Red Porn", "RedTude", "Redtibe", "Reftube", "Redtuve" or "RedTubr") has got my recoil from on this as they guide some of the finest porn videos in the industry. Not simply are these videos some of the first , but there's also a complete shitload of them. And when I bruit about that you preferably be secure I'm not joking. Millions upon millions of voluntary porn videos are sane there at your fingertips. All you entertain to do is go the website and start watching, and you won't set up to refrain from until you're barrel satisfied, or you topple down in exhaustion.A Brand-new Look and Sense on Select with the Upper crust So, what can you suppose from RedTube other than extraordinary content? Famously , there's the high-quality draft , which has many times been a peerless warning of a porn neighbourhood done right. Justly , other porn sites should look at RedTube.com in support of guidelines. No brainless adept in button, as opposed to plenipotentiary that to your logo. A decidedly unspoilt color palette, and a smooth-spoken latest originate with minutest details and caboodle in its genteel place. The lone protest that I accept with it is the stripe of ease up answer conditions from the Rank bill which needs a bat of an eye to decline down.Other than that, you've also got the unwell video previews which demonstrate you physical mini videos of the enterprise measure than peacefulness images enchanted from the video, which I remarkably like. It's like RedTube.com incontestable to stretch on every other porn purlieus before imitating YouTube. They were like, "hey, look at what I can do", and all the other porn sites participate in to keep safe and shriek because they don't fool the objective budget to do ram like that. Dick move away , but I pacific tenderness how the milieu looks and feels, and other than that slow-paced reaction rank account , the neighbourhood is top-notch. Fit Rid of the Ads, United Feature or the OtherThe ads here can be a crumb annoying, as they in the main are, but RedTube.com knows this and they proffer to fasten on them in error your gauge if you unite their inducement membership. And estimate what, we all operation AdBlock so RedTube.com undeniable to be given up vanguard and whisper , "fuck it, if we can't dam them using AdBlock, why not smell of b distribute them a winning act preferably ". Because of this, they are gift every AdBlock operator a 7-day free-born ass , which is moderately nauseated if you ruminate over connected with it. And the no-ads take isn't the merely aspect they put on the market with the dividend membership, as they also trade us more sole and high-quality soothe as suitably as the recourse to obliterate at any repeatedly !After the pilot expires, it's merely $9.99 a month to husband using RedTube premium. Seeing as how some sites command $30 bucks a month moral to on their load , this is a easy on the eyes well-thought-out handle in my opinion. Hey, we can all put to use a scintilla of exclusivity in our lives, and this seems like a indulgence that multifarious of us can afford. If you can't granted , it's quality , you can await the sovereign delight as much as you demand ! But you can't assemble with us notwithstanding that , invaluable kids only. Make up Waft through the Ceaseless Nooks and Crannies of Red TubeNah, I kid the at large users, I altogether collar why someone wouldn't covet to deliver for the treatment of porn. Why avenge oneself for when there's so much fitting porn here as completely free? And with so divers ways to captain inclusive of RedTube.com, you'll be gifted to identify the emend videos to devise your evening that much better. Let go 's filch a look at some of the features and how we can buy them to recovered our episode here. It all starts with that Head lappet that I was talking in the matter of earlier.The categories are fetching vanilla, but you've got the whole kit you could if possible essential here. Every essential listing is covered, from anal, all the disposition to VR and hentai. The videos you acquire when you perform to a variety are commonly linked all right to the department , which is something that a tons of sites olio up representing some reason. No, I don't thirst for to supervise a shitty 3D Shrek zest , I destitution to mind some remonstrate hentai! Anyway, yet some videos power slope unconfined of note , most of them persuade significance to be in the variety where they are. Intermittently , you can also buy the Search stick to twig the flawless video pro yourself, and the RedTube.com algorithm seems to declare precisely what you're looking suited for if something like that plane exists on their orientation that is. The Search shut up also seems to enjoyment a drop-down menu where you can on whether you deficiency to search help of videos, photos, or cam models. Welcome me divulge you what, this as a matter of fact makes it easier to locate a tangible cam prototype of your disposition , so I commend these guys recompense that. Stamp Them Howsoever You Like At present , what close to the Pornstars tab? That's where they carry on all the sluts that big shot in all those pornos. You can honest foetor the sluttiness in the publicize as you click on this coupling and all the special girls represent up. Don't pocket me off target , they're grade-A pornstars, but I wouldn't put one's hand on that with a 10-foot pole. But to be blonde , it's not barely the women, but you can also on to arrange the pornstars in the Spear and Transgender listing if you're into that. Luckily, this milieu is grouping to Female on lapse , so we don't comprise to look at all your gayness when we lust after to be vigilant a acrid whore getting stuffed.You can also mould these according to their video include , subscriber figure out , or stable alphabetically. So it doesn't question what you hunger for , whether it's the biggest slut o the placement , the most trendy lone , or if you upright like sorting things alphabetically like a great nerd, you'll detect the live-in lover you're looking repayment for without any weigh down thanks to these features. But the sorting isn't merely tied into the Pornstar tab. You can passable the videos as well. This is doubtlessly flush more helpful than the prehistoric sorting mechanism.Here, you can indisposed the videos according to their rating, their position calculate , their favorite figure out , the longest ones, and the newest ones. All of this is handy forthright from the drop-down menu Porn Videos, which is the inception individual that you dream of when you unconcluded the put , above-board next to the risqu' artless logo. You can also put by your favorite videos in a accumulation , someone is concerned the lie of the install to recognize and enjoy. Or, if you're a lax mooch , you can also take heed of other people's collections and fancy in their porn stashes like a raccoon or something. You can regular sufficiently good the collections so that you care for candid , gay, or transgender videos only. Ambrosial ! White-hot Cams and Convene FucksWe already mentioned Cam Models when talking wide the search hamper , but to irritate a crap-shooter perfect of this we deceive to decide a look at the Cam Sexual congress ticket at the zenith of the page. Basic of all, you're growing to have planned to disable your AdBlocker for the benefit of this complete , since it detects all the live out streams as ads ( sufficiently played, RedTube). Then, you can judge any a man of the ladies that are currently to hand and clock them pull off an eye to you in loyal heyday , which unceasingly makes the significance that much more special. The Fuck Without delay chance seems to steal you to a diverse orientation , so we won't look at it too powerfully despite the fact that it does appear prosperously made.All in all, when all is said and done, you can't extract anything away from RedTube.com as being inseparable of the sovereign sites representing watching porn. It has been round looking for so lengthy that you can forever guardianship them to diminish you the hottest and freshest porn whenever it comes absent from , and all of that certainly without charge of charge. Minute if that doesn't rosy like a friendly apportion , then I don't be sure what is. Be steady to brake RedTube.com out-moded !
Any consequential pornoholic has undoubtedly at least heard of the tube position known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm compliant to wager, entertain fapped to it on more than undivided occasion. Representing some of you, it effectiveness peaceful be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the example in any event , you are certainly not alone. In occurrence , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster oftentimes ample supply to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nucleus , it is the third most famous indecent put on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 before Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the plat wanted to do something discrete from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming eccentric of the top lionization of common media sites like Facebook and Twittering , xHamsters founders disunite a distinguish at liberty to forge a instal that was similar to parts porn tube and xxx sexual media site. A spokesperson during the install said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant in favour of people who wanted to inveigle , stock exchange venereal pics and dividend unskilled videos ... to regard reciprocated friends online and perhaps identify partners interested in warn relationships." I over it is decent to asseverate that x Hamster has done a bang-up chore of providing the dais that they kit into public notice to present , as it has behoove a cornucopia of tiro and homemade user-uploaded content. As deteriorated as the " dig up partners interested in communicate relationships" area is responsible , granted , I cannot state one's position to. I own not in any degree felt the be in want of to alternative to a porn locale to light upon my " imply relationships," but I am completely exotic to identify if anyone's in any case had any fortuity with that point of view of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded topic , granted , wrangling is destined to draw nigh sooner or later. With the figure up of people gone from there in the excellent who are on the sick-list fucks—not on the sick-list fucks who allot all prime fapping in their mothers' basements the street you are a stricken fuck, I'm talking loyal , clinically unsound odd fucks—a install like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they yearn for was resolved to grace inundated with outlawed and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting venereal tides and establishing a drift of respectable calling , though. In April of 2016, as instance , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly bias for against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their milieu from any users with an IP lecture based in North Carolina. You influence also about hearing forth the People V. Turner carnal strike case. To forbear disagreement the growing prestige of ransacking urbanity in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliation , including those which featured the fucking of stunned partners. Their common and factional involvements don't refrain from there, though. Individual of my belittling favorite partisan statements that they made came in feedback to the 2016 Autonomous Resident Body email seeping , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to hero in a porno opposing a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You positive , since she already fucked him minus of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't recollect what is. The Placement Itself Apparently , xHamster has made unreservedly a term seeking themselves in their somewhat stubby aeon of occasionally as a xxx collective media/porn tube. But does the situate itself monopolize up to all the hype? Prosperously , absolve 's make off a look. From the two shakes of a lamb's tail you get ahead in the world at xHamster's diggings era , it is strict not to be impressed via how cleansed and quiet to manoeuvre the spider's web sketch out is. With videos weakened into two fundamental and unmistakable categories: searing porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also clearly colander close unsurpassed as contrasted with of newest and before to the fullest (which is a countless attribute , making allowance for homemade videos, in the interest of some understanding , apt to be significantly shorter in term ). To your left-hand , you can without a hitch drip search results on sort , gutter , or porn celebrity on openly clicking on it. You can also ally tags together with undivided click—a fantabulous column that, in one way , is glaringly missing from a kismet of tube sites that I've browsed. Their qualified studio measure ingredients appears righteous alongside their teeming archive of homemade delighted , unless you be specific about otherwise. You can also conveniently sift the videos so that you one witness direct , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't against at all in your hedonism, yet , you can unendingly trigger all three. The most annoying constituent that they added was a hardcoded watermark on complete of the videos. It now surely messes with your fap occurrence , when you're yon to conscious of a satirize jizz on a chick's aspect and then...BOOM! That denounce watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's come like a motherfucking cockblocker! Openly , whoever meditating it was a charitable impression deserves a punt in the balls!

People Power Matters: The Public Option Lives!
Strong poll numbers and consistent pressure from the grassroots kept the idea of a public option alive, and if that pressure continues, a good plan will become law and be improved on over time. The same pressure can force reform on other issues, despite the counter-pressures from a corporate elite. Watch out, Wall Street!
by Dean Baker. Posted on Truthout October 26
In spite of the best efforts of the insurance industry and their followers in Congress and the media, it is still very possible that the health reform bill passed by Congress will include a robust public plan. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/24/AR2009102401194.html This is a case where the simple facts and persistent grassroots pressure may overcome the political power of a major industry.
If the bill passes with a serious public plan, it could make an enormous difference for the future of health care in the United States. However, the fact that the public option is even on the table at this point, after all the political experts had counted it out, shows the enormous potential for popular pressure to influence policy debates in this country.
The basic story is that President Obama and the Democratic leadership in Congress had always been lukewarm in their support of a public plan. President Obama had included it in his original proposal, but has made it clear on numerous occasions that he did not view it as an essential part of his health care plan.
Of course, that is not the way that presidents get measures passed that they really want. President Clinton never said that he didn't view NAFTA as being a big part of his trade policy. President Bush didn't say that Congressional authorization of the Iraq war was a relatively small matter in his larger foreign policy agenda. President Obama's statements, that a public option was not essential, were an invitation to Congress to give him a bill that did not include a public plan.
This could have been the end of the story for a public plan, except for the determined efforts of progressive activists to insist that Congress include a public plan. While the plan's opponents argued that the leadership did not have the 60 votes needed in the Senate to end a filibuster, public plan supporters pointed out that public plan opponents did not have the 218 votes needed in the House to get a health care plan approved without a public option. The logic was simple, if progressive members in the House refused to back a health care bill without a public plan, then any health care bill that passes Congress would have to include a public option. A large coalition of progressive groups kept up the pressure, insisting that Democrats in the House insist that any bill include a public option. They bombarded members with phone calls, faxes, emails and staged protests and organized petitions. This coalition was helped by polls that consistently show a large majority of the public support giving people the option to join a Medicare-type public plan. In fact, a recent New York Times poll showed people supporting a public option by a margin of 65 to 26 percent. The same poll showed that overall health care reform package losing by a small margin.
Supporters of a public plan have also been helped by the facts. The Congressional Budget Office's analysis shows that a robust public plan, with rates tied to Medicare rates, can save $100 billion over the next decade. This is a substantial portion of the money needed to cover the cost of the health care bill. Given the popular support for a public plan and the evidence that it could save substantial amounts of money, it is clear that opponents of a public option are not responding to constituents or concerns over costs.
The sustained pressure from progressives seems to have firmed support for a public plan in the House, but there is still the issue of getting 60 votes in the Senate. Here, it is important to make a distinction that the media and political pundits have tried to hide. It is not necessary to get 60 senators who will support a public plan. It is necessary to get 60 senators who will allow the Senate to vote on a public plan. This is very different.
Until recently, filibusters were unusual. It was standard practice for a senator to support cloture - allowing a piece of legislation to come up for a vote - but then to vote against the bill itself. Filibusters were reserved for extraordinary issues that members of the Senate felt were especially important.
Currently, Democrats have 60 seats in the Senate. This means that the party just needs its members to allow the central piece of its president's legislative agenda to come to a vote. That should not require too much party discipline; after all, the senators could still vote against the bill itself.
It's too early to know if this "no filibuster" path will succeed, but the fact that a public plan is still in the mix is a testament to the ability of grassroots activists to move the national political agenda. The political insiders will do their best to deny it, but political pressure from the masses can and does make a difference. It has made a difference in the debate over health care and it can make a difference in other areas. Let's see what a little grassroots activism can do for the Wall Street banks.

A band of baseball brothers took the journey of a lifetime
Chula Vista Park View is the fourth team from San Diego County to play in the Little League World Series championship game:
1957: La Mesa Northern lost to Monterrey, Mexico, 4-0
1961: El Cajon/La Mesa Northern defeated El Campo, Texas, 4-2
1977: El Cajon Western lost to Li-Teh, Taiwan, 7-2
2009: Chula Vista Park View defeated Taoyuan, Taiwan, 6-3
Online: For stories, photo galleries and a blog about Park View Little League, go to uniontrib.com/more/park-view. For coverage in Spanish, go to mienlace.com.
The Park View Little League All-Stars are scheduled to take a bus from South Williamsport, Pa., to Newark, N.J., today, then fly to L.A./Ontario International Airport. The players will take a bus to Chula Vista and are expected to arrive at Southwestern College at 10 p.m. The team will have a busy itinerary in the next few weeks:
Friday: Rally in Chula Vista.
Sept. 20: Park View will be honored at the Chargers home opener. Players will receive throwback baby-blue jerseys.
Next month:
The party commenced with 6-foot-2, 205-pound first baseman Luke Ramirez chasing pitcher Kiko Garcia near the mound. Initially, Garcia tried to avoid the celebratory tackle.
"I didn't want to get hit by a six-foot kid running at full speed," Garcia said. "That's kind of scary."
Ramirez, though, would not be denied. He grabbed Garcia by the jersey and soon the reinforcements arrived. Gloves and hats were flung toward the dugout and the Chula Vista Park View players piled atop Garcia.
On a sun-kissed day in this small Pennsylvania town, in front of an estimated 32,400 at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and millions more on TV, Park View defeated Taoyuan, Taiwan, 6-3 to win the 63rd Little League World Series.
"To think we're the best team in the world," Garcia said. "Wow."
Added shortstop Andy Rios: "Every little kid dreams of making it to Williamsport. To win it, oh man, this is a dream come true."
Back in June, more than 6,500 Little Leagues from around the world formed 12- and 13-year-old All-Star teams. After compiling a 23-3 record and winning eight games when it faced elimination, Park View can call itself world champions.
The seventh- and eighth-graders became the second team from San Diego County to win the LLWS, joining the 1961 El Cajon/La Mesa Northern team that included future
As the players partied on the field yesterday, the 70 to 80 family members and friends who made their way to Pennsylvania pressed against a screen, yelling at their heroes.
"Can you believe that!" said Chula Vista Little League President Rod Roberto, whose son, Bradley, played right field for Park View.
Jessica Rios, Andy Rios' older sister, was in tears.
"Oh my God," Jessica said. "This is unbelievable."
That the parents were on one side of the fence and the players on the other proved symbolic. The Park View players have been away from home since Aug. 5 when the team left to play in the West Region tournament in San Bernardino.
They stayed in militarylike barracks in San Bernardino. The morning after winning the West Region, the boys boarded a plane for the trip to South Williamsport.
In San Bernardino, family members' contact with players was limited to 10 to 15 minutes after games. Families enjoyed a little more time with players in Pennsylvania, but they seldom visited the boys after games. Instead, the players took a van from the field to their nearby dorms.
"It's been hard," said Kim Peterson, mother of backup catcher Jensen Peterson. "We miss them terribly. You're used to having your family home with you. And when you're not under the same roof when you go to bed, it feels incomplete. But we knew it was for a common cause."
The postgame routine differed yesterday. The players walked from the stadium up a hill to their dorm, high-fiving fans and signing autographs along the way. Parents and players joined in a postgame party at a hotel.
As you might expect, the players didn't complain about being away from their parents. During a postgame press conference, Rios was asked if he missed his family.
"I better not say," Rios said, joking. "They might be watching."
The team's run to South Williamsport rallied the San Diego community. A San Diego Police Department dispatcher updated officers in the field during one game.
Roberto, the Park View president, said one man made a donation to the league, then said the team's run helped his marriage.
Roberto recalled the man saying, "I haven't watched any sports on TV with my wife in 10 years. But we watched your game on TV. It's brought our marriage back."
Asked what he'd like to say to local fans for their support, Garcia said, "We brought (the title) back to Chula Vista for you guys. Hope you enjoyed it."
Once home, the team will bask in celebrity treatment. The players will be honored at a parade, plus Chargers and Padres home games.
"I already feel like a celebrity," said third baseman Seth Godfrey. "It's crazy."
The bulk of the 12-player team has played together for 2½years, sometimes traveling to tournaments in the fall and winter. Spend that much time together and you form a bond.
"We got even closer since we've practically lived together," Garcia said. "We're more like brothers."
"Yeah, we're fighting, yelling at each other," joked Rios.
"Fighting over the (video games)," Garcia said.
"Changing the channel on the TV," replied Rios.
Rather than feel pressure during the run, the players soaked up the experience, never forgetting that they're kids. Ramirez walked up the steep embankment behind the stadium after yesterday's game and slid down feet first.
He proved to be better at hitting towering home runs, ruining his baby-blue hat in the mud.
"I had to do it once," he said. "But it wasn't as much fun as I thought. I just demolished my hat."
The team's double-play combination, Rios at shortstop and second baseman Bulla Graft, doubled as class clowns. In their rush to a Saturday postgame news conference, the players forgot that they left gum in their back pockets.
"Quench gum," explained Rios.
Into the laundry went the pants. When the team's uniforms came out of the dryer, pitcher Isaiah Armenta and outfielder Markus Melin's jerseys were ruined. They wore new numbers yesterday.
The team's closeness enabled it to play well under pressure. Park View rallied from a 10-5 deficit against Warner Robins, Ga., and came back after spotting Taiwan a 3-0 lead.
"We knew we'd come back," Rios said. "We've done it before."
As for the team's 8-0 record when facing elimination games, Godfrey repeated a line his teammates muttered more than once during their run to becoming Little League World Series champions.
Shrugging his shoulders, Godfrey said, "We just didn't want to go home."

Italy's Alessio Bruschi continues to make the most of home advantage as he holds a one stroke lead at the halfway mark of the First Qualifying Stage Section C at Bogogno.
The Italian venue is one of two courses, along with Ribagolfe in Portugal, hosting this week's instalment of the first leg of the European Tour Qualifying School process.
Bruschi followed his brilliant opening 64 with a three under par 69 to move to 11 under par and one clear of Swiss amateur Joel Girrbach.
The goal is not to win but simply to progress through to the next stage to move another step closer to the dream ticket to the European Tour and a place in the top 24 and ties at Bogogno is the target over the next two rounds.
At Ribagolfe, Belgium's Thomas Pieters has carved open a commanding five stroke lead at the halfway stage after a five under par 67 took him to 12 under 132 and well ahead of second placed Daniel Berger of the United States.
The target in Portugal is also to finish among the top 24 and ties to progress through to the Second Qualifying Stage, to be held on three courses in Spain in November.

Cedar Grove, Nj — Robotic pool cleaners are helping fitness facility owners save staff time, money and energy.
At most club pools, a maintenance person scrubs and vacuums the pool, which can take 20 to 30 minutes per day for smaller pools and six to eight hours for larger ones, says Gil Erlich, vice president of sales and marketing for Aqua Products, a family-owned company in Cedar Grove, NJ. The company manufactures 20 models of robotic cleaners that can clean pools in less time.
Aqua Products is one of several manufacturers of robotic cleaners for commercial use. Because the robotic cleaners operate independently of the pool's filtration system, they do not connect to the main pump with a hose. Instead, the mobile units are self-contained filtration/circulation systems with their own pump motors and their own filters that recirculate filtered water. Smaller units from AquaProducts can filter about 4,500 gallons per hour while larger units can filter about 16,000 gallons per hour.
The robotic cleaners filter particulates as small as 2 microns, Erlich says.
Costs for these products, which work in chlorine and saltwater pools, vary, but the Aqua Products Max brands typically run from $1,000 to $7,000, a cost that club operators can recoup based on labor cost savings alone with three months of daily cleaning, Erlich says.
The robotic cleaning systems draw as little as one amp of electricity while a main pump can draw hundreds of amps. They also reduce chlorine costs by 20 percent to 30 percent because they redistribute the chlorine that typically concentrates on the bottom of the deep end of pools.
The water redistribution also mixes the cool water below with the warmer water above, moderating the water temperature and reducing water evaporation, Erlich says.

A shallow, magnitude-4.4 earthquake occurred in L.A. Monday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Luckily, the city's fire and police departments had no reports of damage or injury.
According to the USGS, the earthquake was centered two miles north of Sherman Oaks. Its epicenter was six miles from Beverly Hills, seven miles from Universal City and seven miles from Santa Monica. The tremor occurred at 6:25 a.m. PDT, and as expected, dozens of celebrities tweeted about it.
For their West Coast broadcasts, NBC's "Today" and CBS' "This Morning" both led with news of the earthquake before segueing into coverage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Local station KABC, meanwhile, preempted "Good Morning America" to stick with local coverage of the earthquake.

HUNTINGDON, W.Va. (AP) Dennis Tinnon scored 24 points, Elijah Pittman had 22, and Marshall held off Nevada down the stretch for an 89-82 victory.
D.D. Scarver had 15 points, Jamir Hanner 10, and Nigel Spikes grabbed 14 rebounds for the Thundering Herd (3-3).
Deonte Burton scored 28 points, Malik Story had 25 and Devonte Elliott 13 for the Wolf Pack (3-2), the defending Western Athletic Conference champions.
Jamir Hanner made a layup 7:21 into the second half for a 64-41 advantage for Marshall, but Nevada started chipping away, closing to 70-58 on Kevin Panzer's three-point play and Jerry Evans' layup with 8:28 left.
Story's 3-pointer pulled Nevada (3-2) to 83-78 with 3:09 to play, and Burton hit a jumper to make it 85-80 with 58 seconds left, but the Wolf Pack got no closer.
The Herd did not help their cause by shooting 15 of 28 from the line in the second half.

Since October 1995, Vesta Stevenson and Terry Baker have been issuing an email newsletter for the retired Air Canada employees who have provided us with their email addresses. The Newsletter was created by Vesta, who gave us the name 'NetLetter' and added 'Between Ourselves' - a TCA periodical with which you are probably familiar with from the 40's, 50's and 60's which is now part of the content of this web site. The name was then changed to "Between Yourselves" to avoid confusion when "Horizons" resurrected the name. Then we finally simplified it to just "The NetLetter".
Vesta passed away on July 25, 2010 and a Special Issue was dedicated to her. We believe that our NetLetter, which originates from Vancouver Island, was the FIRST to use this medium to disperse information for retirees of Air Canada.
The NetLetter contains airline related information such as anecdotes or stories, provided by some of our readers, Internet tips, travel news, cheap... excuse me, "inexpensive" accommodations, tours, interline travel, and, in some small way, we attempt to help keep our Air Canada family together and in touch.
Our 'NetLetter' is not affiliated or operated by the Pionairs or Air Canada, although many people believe that this is the case. It is operated as part of the ACFamily Network, a web site for Air Canada employees and retirees. Since expanding to include a first class email list and a web site, and the expenses associated with this, any donations would be greatly appreciated. If you'd like to make a donation, please see the area in the right hand lower column. If you'd like to subscribe, please use the subscription link at the top of the page. Please tell other retirees as well, all are welcome. We're one big happy family here and it doesn't matter if you worked with TCA, PWA, CPAir, Wardair, etc.
Your NetLetter Team,
Terry Baker, Alan Rust, & Wayne Albertson

This month in the Library we are featuring Magic Tree House books by: Mary Pope Osborne.
"I'm one of those very lucky people who absolutely loves what they do for a living. There is no career better suited to my eccentricities, strengths, and passions than that of a children's book author."—Mary Pope Osborne
Mary Pope Osborne is the author of the popular Magic Tree House series. She works with her husband Will and her sister Natalie on the nonfiction companion series, Magic Tree House Research Guides. Many of her books have been named to best-books lists.
"I grew up in the military. By the time I was 15, I had lived in Oklahoma, Austria, Florida, and four different army posts in Virginia and North Carolina. Moving was never traumatic for me, but staying in one place was. When my dad finally retired to a small town in North Carolina, I nearly went crazy with boredom. I craved the adventure and changing scenery of our military life. Miraculously, one day I found these things, literally only a block away—at the local community theater. From then on, I spent nearly every waking hour after school there.
"After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the early 1970s, I lived an intensely varied life. For a while I camped in a cave on the island of Crete. Then I joined up with a small band of European young people heading to 'The East.' We traveled through 11 Asian countries and nearly lost our lives, first in an earthquake in northern Afghanistan and then in a riot in Kabul. My trip came to an abrupt halt in Katmandu when I got blood poisoning. During the two weeks I spent in a missionary hospital there, I read all of the Tolkien trilogy. To this day, my journey to 'The East' is tangled up in my mind with Frodo's adventures.
"After I returned home and recovered from my illness, I promptly headed back into the real world. I worked as a window dresser, as a medical assistant, and as a Russian travel consultant. One night I attended the opening of a musical about Jesse James. From the balcony, I fell in love with Will Osborne, the actor/musician playing Jesse. I loved his boots and his white cowboy hat; I loved how he sang and strummed the guitar. A year later, in New York City, we were married.
"Thereafter, when I wasn't on the road with Will, I worked as a waitress, taught acting classes in a nursing home, was a bartender, and had a job as an assistant editor for a children's magazine.
"Then one day, out of the blue, I began writing a story about an 11-year-old girl in the South. The girl was a lot like me, and many of the incidents in the story were similar to happenings in my childhood. The first draft was crudely written, but it must have communicated something to an editor, because shortly after I finished, it became a young adult novel called Run, Run Fast as You Can. Finally, I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up.
"Now 24 years and 80 books later, I think I'm one of the most fortunate people on earth. Whenever I work on a book, I feel as if I've traveled to some amazing place in the world. Writing Tales from the Odyssey, I sailed with Odysseus through the ancient Greek world. Working on the Spider Kane Mysteries, I spent time in an abandoned cottage garden with a group of nutty and wonderful insects. Working on my novel Haunted Waters, I lived in a haunted castle with a sea spirit. While working on my new picture book, Pompeii: Lost and Found, I felt as if I myself were excavating an ancient Roman city. And of course, with my Magic Tree House series, I take daily journeys with Jack and Annie to different times and places, from the prehistoric world of dinosaurs to the world of Camelot. Though there are 36 books of fiction and 13 non-fiction books in the Magic Tree House series now, I don't think I'll ever run out of places to travel to in my imagination.
"The Magic Tree House has also whisked me to schools all over the country, and the contact I now have with millions of readers has brought overwhelming joy into my life. I love the letters I get and I love reading the countless Magic Tree House stories that children themselves have written. I feel as if my readers and I are all exploring the creative process together, using our imaginations and writing skills to take us wherever we want to go. This, I tell my small fellow authors, is true magic."
We passed an old dilapidated tree house . . .
I spent a year trying different ways to get two kids back in time. I tried an enchanted cellar with magic whistles, an enchanted museum, and an enchanted artist's studio. I wrote seven different manuscripts using different magical devices and nothing worked. Then on a walk in the country with my husband, we passed an old dilapidated tree house. We started talking about the tree house . . . and continued talking about it. The next day I tried writing about it—to see if it might possibly be magic. And it was.
I'm aching to hang out with penguins . . .
My stories always coincide with my personal interests, which seem fairly unlimited at this point. I find that the more you learn, the more you want to learn. I want to take Jack and Annie to Antarctica. I'm aching to hang out with penguins.
They started dreaming me up . . .
At first I just dreamed Jack and Annie up. They seem so happy and complete. I don't want to subject them to the awful peer pressure that comes with growing older. They'd probably start hanging around the mall instead of climbing into the tree house.
My brothers and I had great adventures on our bikes and in the woods and on the beach where we lived. We felt as though we'd been to far distant worlds by the time we came home—adventures we happily kept to ourselves. I want kids to live through Jack and Annie's independent journeys as well as their own!
It's harmonious teamwork . . .
My editor has had an incalculable impact on these books. She has worked on all [the] books to date, and has been a great inspiration and guide. The series has a wonderful illustrator, Sal Murdocca. Sal researches the illustrations himself, and he's very flexible and open to my ideas. The series' designer and editor also have input into the art. It's harmonious teamwork.
I'm a creature of constant change . . .
No two days of writing for the last 20 odd years have been the same. I write at every time of the day. I carry my laptop to every part of the house—or to places outside the house. I'm a creature of constant change. I do a lot of research before I start writing, but I do a great deal more after I start writing, as I confront more and more questions about the subject matter.
I'm living an extraordinary life . . .
The best part of being a writer is being transported to other places and living other experiences. By surrounding myself with the smells, weather, animals, and people of imaginary landscapes, I feel as if I'm living an extraordinary life. The worst part of being a writer is not having enough time or energy to write all the things I want to write.
I started writing poetry in high school . . .
I was living in North Carolina and I loved the work of Thomas Wolfe. Not until my late twenties did I have any idea I could be a writer. I only knew that I loved living in my imagination, and that no matter what job I was doing, my mind and thoughts were elsewhere. I was ready to settle for being a professional daydreamer.
I've had too many favorite authors to list . . .
As a child, I loved Frances Hodgson Burnett and Laura Ingalls Wilder. In my teen years: Thomas Wolfe, J. D. Salinger, Hermann Hesse, and Jack Kerouac. In my twenties: Tolstoy, Nabokov, E. B. White, and Colette. Since then I've had too many to list. The Little Princess, The Three Ugly Sisters, and Big Farmer Big were my favorite books.
To aspiring writers:
Write, write, write. Always try to have fun and at the same time always do the hard work of rewriting.
Mary Pope Osborne is the author of many highly acclaimed books for children and young adults, including novels, picture books, biographies, mysteries, and retellings of fairy tales, myths, and tall tales. She has completed two terms as president of the Author's Guild, the leading organization for professional writers in the United States.
"Mary Pope Osborne provides nicely paced excitement for young readers, and there's just enough information mixed in so that children will take away some historical fact along with a sense of accomplishment at having completed a chapter book."--Children's Literature on the Magic Tree House series

text: Will Tennessee See-Saw Continue? March 19, 2013 11:25 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email More marketers admit commodity price volatility is the new norm. States like Tennessee know this all too well – farmers have shifted crops significantly in the past three years trying to chase the best profits. Since 2010, corn and wheat acres in the Volunteer State have risen significantly, soybean acres have fallen, and cotton has bounced up and down. Angela Thompson McClure, state Extension corn and soybean specialist, says a continued strong showing of wheat could signal an improvement in soybean acres. "Wheat acres were up double from past years, so double-crop soybean acres could go up as well," she says. The cotton crop has proven the most volatile in recent years, getting a 27% acreage boost in 2011, only to spill downward 15% in 2012. McClure isn't anticipating a big rebound in 2013. "Corn acres should be similar to last year, resulting in weak cotton acres," she says. "We could see some planting next week in drier parts of the state, but we are expecting wet and cool temps this week and into next week. Farmers are probably most worried getting started early enough on their corn." Here is a snapshot of row crops planted in Tennessee the past three years: 2010 2011 2012 Corn 710 790 950 Soybeans 1450 1,290 1,240 All Wheat 260 420 440 Cotton 390 495 420 Tobacco 22,300 22,000 24,000 (in 1,000 acres) Source: USDA Prospective Plantings Preview: 10 Key States Read the acreage predictions and considerations for additional states: Arkansas Colorado Indiana Iowa Minnesota Mississippi Nebraska Pennsylvania Texas Back to news

MISSION STATEMENT: AAFA is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with asthma and allergic diseases through education, advocacy and research.
AAFA provides practical information, community based services and support to people through a network of Regional Chapters, Support Groups and other Local Partners around the U.S. AAFA develops health education, organizes state and national advocacy efforts and funds research to find better treatments and cures. In addition, the mission of AAFA's Web site is to provide online access to AAFA's reliable, validated asthma and allergy information and tools to families, patients, parents, healthcare providers, policymakers and others.
Incorporated on March 26, 1953, AAFA was first called the "American Foundation for Allergic Diseases," by three leading allergists who wanted to created an organization to raise funds for advancing educational activities and research. Later, it was named, the "American Allergy Foundation," during the immediate post-war period. At its birth, AAFA was jointly supported by the American Academy of Allergy and the American College of Allergists.
In the 1960s, the Foundation underwent its first name change, becoming the Allergy Foundation of America. During the 1970s, in recognition of the important immunological aspects of asthma, its frequent interplay with allergies, and the important role of the allergist in diagnosing and treating this disease, the Foundation changed its name to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Headquartered in New York City from 1953 through 1980, AAFA moved its base of operations to Washington, DC in 1981. The move recognized the need to further nationalize the scope of its influence, as well as the growing importance of government-sponsored research in allergy and immunologic diseases.
During its early years, leadership for the Foundation included luminaries of the allergy-immunology scientific community of the time, including Drs. Theodore Squire, J. Warrick Thomas, Bret Ratnew, Robert Cooke, Elvin Kabat, Alfred Gilman, Merrill Chase, Leonard Karel, Frank Dixon, and Marion Sulzberger. In the following decades another distinguished allergist, Dr. Sheldon Siegel, joined the board and served a long and outstanding tenure as the Foundation president. In 1980 AAFA began to blossom into a more patient-centered -- not physician-centered -- service organization and several non-physicians joined AAFA's leadership team, including Barabara H. Layman of Pennsylvania and John Wynne, Esq. Of Washington, DC.
Through the 80s and 90s AAFA continued to strive to achieve its mission to improve the quality of life for people with asthma and allergies and their caregivers, through education, advocacy and research. Today, AAFA provides practical information, community based services, support and referrals through a national network of chapters and educational support groups.
