About Capital Gains and Games
Economic rationality often stops and political rationality takes over just as you reach the Capital Beltway. Capital Gains and Games is the bridge between Wall Street to Capitol Hill, explaining what makes political rather than economic sense and, sometimes, what makes no sense at all.
CG&G provides top, fact-based economic, financial, and political analysis; describes insiders' thinking; explains the always-confusing federal budget process, and typically is way ahead of the mainstream media. There are plenty of projections, estimates, and predictions, and enough sarcasm to keep you coming back for more even when what's happening on federal taxes and spending, the deficit, and government borrowing is anything but amusing.
Capital Gains and Games reflects the personal opinions and insights of Stan Collender, Dan Rosenthal, and Troy K. Schneider. It does not necessarily reflect the opinions of any organization with which these individuals are affiliated.
About Stan Collender
Stan Collender is a former New Yorker who, after getting a graduate degree in public policy from the University of California, Berkeley, moved to Washington to get it out of his system. That was 35 years ago.
Collender is an acknowledged expert on the federal budget and congressional budget process and the author of The Guide to the Federal Budget, which was published for 19 consective years from 1982 to 2000 and was one of the most-assigned text on the topic. He is one of a very limited number of people who has worked on the staffs of the House and Senate Budget Committees and founded and edited Federal Budget Report, a newsletter that was published for almost two decades. For 11 years he wrote a weekly column ("Budget Battles) for NationalJournal.com. For the past three years he has written "Fiscal Fitness" for Roll Call. He is currently a partner at Qorvis MSLGROUP, where he spends most of his time working with financial services clients. Stan is also a much sought-after speaker to business and other groups on federal taxes and spending, appears often on television and radio, and is frequently quoted in major print publications.
About Dan Rosenthal
Dan Rosenthal is an editorial cartoonist and ad agency creative director – having won top creative prizes all over the world – including first-place Clios, Andys, London Internationals, New York "One Show" Awards, the Hollywood TV Festivals, and several Best Of Show Addy Awards in Washington.
Before forming his own company, he earned an AAF certificate in marketing from Harvard University and became listed in Dossier Magazine's "The Mighty 500" and Forbes Magazine's "Top 100 Creative People in the Country."
Recipient of the Washington Advertising Club Silver Medal in 2003, Dan served on the boards of Second Genesis, an organization providing drug and alcohol addiction therapy and Express Link Up, which works to bring computers into hospitals for sick children. He lives in Washington, DC.
About Troy K. Schneider
Troy K. Schneider is the Editor-in-Chief of FCW, a print and digital publication covering the business of federal technology. Before joining FCW, he was Director of Media and Technology at the New America Foundation, and prior to that was Managing Director for Electronic Publishing at the Atlantic Media Company, where he oversaw the online operations of The Atlantic Monthly, National Journal, The Hotline and The Almanac of American Politics, among other publications.
The founding editor of NationalJournal.com, Mr. Schneider also helped launch the trailblazing political site PoliticsNow.com in the mid-1990s, and worked on the earliest online efforts of the Los Angeles Times and Newsday. He began his career in print journalism, and has written for a wide range of publications, including The New York Times, WashingtonPost.com, Slate, Politico, Governing, CongressDaily, Tikkun, Regardie's Power and many of the other titles listed above. With Capital Gains and Games, however, his role is that of publisher and occasional editor.

I'm also curious to hear your results. My personal opinion is that any flavor compounds that the different yeasts creates which would differentiate it will be cooked off by the heat of the bake.

I think that it would be important to say what size your "red bag" is. The small red bags are supposedly the same as the large blue ones. The large red bags are a differrent animal altogether.Just trying to help.http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,7191.0.html

loose stools with also nervousness
Posted by Reviewer1404194 on Aug 15, 2009
I rarely need this salt as I lean towards sluggishness of my system but sometimes I over hydrate myself in a detoxifying flush and can't turn off the waterworks. The difference with this salt from Calc Phos is everything physical seems in order but you feel drained. Drinking fluids only aggravates the symptoms. Salts are needed to retain fluids and absorb nutrients property. Note this is not the same feeling as lethargic which is a form of sluggishness and requires another remedy. I'm from the old school of homeopathy. Unless you really get no relief and suffer "chronic symptoms" the other category is "acute symptoms" which are attacks of sort like headaches from which treatment can bring relief immediately if not permanently. Therefore, I take 6 tablets every 15min or at intervals of attack until symptoms subside.
Great product

Real juice in demand locally
Jamie Jensen, the founder of Living Juice, stood next to her table at the Laguna Beach farmers market Saturday. The midmorning sun blazed, and she served up tiny paper cups of her cold-pressed juice to people who stopped by.
Gone are the days when drinking your vegetables meant a can of sodium-laced V8 or choking down a mouthful of wheatgrass that tasted like it came from the lawn mower bag. "You don't have to do this," Jensen says, holding her nose.
One of her best bottled concoctions is called the Shine On. It's infused with pear juice to liven up the celery, kale, chard, cucumber and romaine. It's not only healthy, it's sweet and refreshing.
It's also $8.50 for a 17-ounce bottle.
Businesses that produce and sell their own raw fruit and vegetable juices are ramping up to meet the growing demand. Jensen started Living Juice in January, and she's opening a store on Forest Avenue in Laguna Beach next month. Irvine-based Ritual Wellness just opened a storefront, Ritual JuiceBox, at the Camp in Costa Mesa. Nekter Juice Bar, a Santa Ana-based chain, has grown from one store to eight in two years, and plans to open 15 more in 2013, including one in Laguna Beach.
Organic or traditional?
Living Juice and Ritual use organic produce, which inflates the cost. Ritual's menu has a variety of juices, including the Red Energy (beet, carrot, celery, pear, red apple) and the Sweet Greens (spinach, romaine, kale, celery, cucumber, green apple). They cost $9 for 16 ounces.
Others don't go the organic route, which keeps prices comparatively low. Irvine-based Juice It Up! charges $5.25, $6.25 and $8.25 for its new line of raw juices, which aren't organic. Nekter generally charges $4.75 for its 16-ounce beverages, made in-store, and $5-$6.50 for its 16.9-ounce "grab and go" bottles. Nekter President and CEO Steve Schulze says his stores use high-quality produce, which is cleaned with a nontoxic veggie wash.
"It's basically from the earth to the glass, and benefits we are able to bring to the masses, we feel, outweigh the benefits from using an all-organic product."
Lisa Gibson, a registered dietitian from Irvine, says even at the lower prices, these juices are exorbitantly expensive, and you shouldn't have to be rich to eat well. Though Schulze and the people at Ritual say their products can serve as meal replacements, Gibson says there aren't enough calories or protein in them to sustain the body. The problem can be more acute with the multiday cleanses, in which customers are encouraged to drink only juice. A person can burn 1,200 calories a day just sitting in bed, "so if you're taking in 400-500 calories a day, you're at a calorie deficit," Gibson said.
A juice bonanza
At the Ritual JuiceBox stand in Costa Mesa on Monday, Marc and Nancy Penso listen to the pitch about cleanses, how they can help the body "reset." Marc Penso, an attorney in Irvine, was skeptical. "I'm a cheeseburger-and-fries guy," he told the clerk. "This is completely foreign to me."
They ended up buying 28 bottles of juice, bundled into big shopping bags. Fourteen more were to be delivered to their home Wednesday. Marc was to drink eight bottles a day, Nancy six — one about every two hours.
Marc said they're doing the cleanse as a "prelude to the holidays."
"And getting into our ski pants," Nancy added.
By Tuesday morning, however, Nancy was rethinking whether they needed that Wednesday delivery.
"We couldn't begin to drink all that juice yesterday," she said. "We were pathetic."

Escape to another time when you head down south to the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. Originally opened in 1954, this jewel was designed by architect Morris Lapidus, who wanted to capture all the glamour of a Hollywood movie set, including a sweeping "staircase to nowhere," which was perfect for ladies to make their grand entrance into the 17,000-square foot lobby laid with marble Lapidus' signature "bow-tie" tiles.
A $1-billion renovation and expansion was completed in 2008, restoring the hotel to its former glory, and making it a thoroughly modern escape from the everyday.
Stepping into the magnificent lobby, you almost expect to see Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin sitting on one of the chaise lounges, watching the ladies go by. Above them sparkle three massive "wedding cake" chandeliers that are reproductions of the original fixtures. Perhaps they would escort a lady or two over to the open Bleau Bar for a dry martini or tropical libation.
Days at the Fontainebleau are pure luxury. Head to the resort's oceanfront poolscape to soak up some rays and people watch. On the weekends, a DJ spins tunes to keep the energy up at the main pool, which is a modern take on Lapidus' bow-tie shape. Opium beds and daybeds surround the nine property pools, as well as private cabanas, all of which are available to rent. Each cabana comes complete with a flat-screen television, butler service, mini refrigerator and a safe to lock up valuables. For the ultimate in poolside luxury, book the cabana in the center of the Oasis pool for $1,000 per day.
If lazing in the sun is not your thing, head to Lapis, the resort's luxurious spa, which focuses on the element of water. Rain corridors, steam rooms and special pools are throughout each side, while a mineral-rich heated pool runs through the center, which can be enjoyed by both men and women. Treatments are designed to enhance both health and well-being, using natural thermal and mineral water therapies. Lapis also in the only place outside of New York that offers Tracie Martyn services and products.
Each one of the resort's 1,504 rooms features an iMac computer, iPod dock and flat-screen television. After getting ready using the spa's signature shampoos and body wash, it's time to hit the town. And you don't even need to call a cab. Fontainebleau has 11 restaurants and lounges on the property, so there truly is something for every taste.
Highlights are Alfred Portale's Gotham Steak, which features a menu that goes above and beyond the typical steak house fare, and offers more than 1,500 wines from around the world. Scott Conant brought his New York restaurant, Scarpetta, to the beach, making it the Fontainebleau's signature Italian restaurant. The seasonally inspired menu reflects both Conant's heritage and his time spent in Italy.
Fans of London's Michelin-rated Hakkasan will love the only stateside version of the restaurant. Voted 2010 Best Newcomer in South Florida by Zagat, the restaurant's Cantonese cuisine is complemented by the amazing views of the ocean. Be sure to try their signature Hakka cocktail, a refreshing blend of vodka, Kubota sake, lychee juice, lime, coconut and fresh passion fruit.
LIV is a popular place with both celebrities and locals. The high-energy nightclub is the perfect place to see and be seen.
Whether you are a sun worshipper, looking for the perfect oceanfront rest, or a foodie hoping to sample some of the area's best dining experiences, the Fontainebleau is the ideal place to make your escape. fontainebleau.com

How a stranger's kidney saved my life
...And my brother's too!
Imagine in your darkest moment, as you lay on deaths door step; The God of the universe reaches down (in the most amazing, miraculous way) and hands you the ultimate second chance. Then does the same thing for your brother the very next day!! ALL because a stranger from a 1,000 miles away, was convicted by God to give his kidney away....
This is a very powerful book about the author's experience in facing the ups and downs of kidney disease--After playing Jesus Christ in a local passion drama for 9 years, his world is turned upside down; As he states in the first chapter, "this would cause me to question who I was, all that I had believed, and God himself." We live through Troy's journey and the emotional and spiritual roller coaster with him, but always we sense God in control of the situation-even when all seems hopeless.
You will find yourself eagerly reading, in suspense, wanting to find out what happens next and how God will work. The author merely talks to us as if to friends, sharing something wonderful and awesome that happened to him; How at death's door step, he found God's Hope, Peace, and the reason for it all.
"I knew all of these things happened for a reason! God revealed afterwards, the reason for the pain, was to bring Hope, the reason for the Hope was to bring the miracle, and the reason for the miracle was to write this book to share the Hope with you!!" - Troy Lewis
This book really isn't just one persons story of trial - its every ones story, because it's God's story. Through it you will learn to persevere, that what may seem like a closed door is really just a redirection to something even better. This is a beautiful inspirational book of love, struggles, Faith, and Hope. When a person is feeling down or lost in their own troubles, it will be an excellent resource to read over and over again. It'll make you laugh, cry, hope, reflect, and by the end.. Praise in victory!

every field in the Metro Vancouver/ Lower Mainland area has woodsball/recball, from what i know the only fields that do not have speedball as well are North Shore and Richmond Indoor.
Alot of people that i talk to at fields and stores mostly play Speedball at Ambush Paintball in Surrey, and Panther Paintball in Langley. for recball its scattered, usually people just go to the closest field to where they live.
I live in Surrey but i have been to North Shore Paintball, Sniperz in Chiliwack, Panther Paintball, Ambush Paintball, Tswassen Paintball and Richmond Indoor. out of these fields i really like Ambush cuz of the great people and it close for me, and Ivs also had a great experience at Richmond indoor.
If u actually live in the city of Vancouver then i think Richmond indoor would be the closest for recball and possibly Ambush for both rec and speedball
hope that helps, hope to see u on the field

In terms of woodsball, Panther has always been the best. Ambush has been getting better again lately. Maple Ridge is good too.

im in surrey on a couple of acres. got a pb field in backyard my friends and i built. used to be where i tested my 4x4 when i built it. it has trenches, towers, bunkers, trails, a bridge. good small games usually 2-8 a team dependeding on games we play. its BYOP and air(i do have a 5' tall nitro setup and scuba as well) and I sell paint to thoi=se who run out @ 20 for 500. gotta make a small buck to cover fuel costs of hauling trailer to get wood n cover products. youngest out playing was 9yrs old. Got about 5 or 6 extra guns for newbs plus masks. good times. Drinking ok if youre a responsible drinker. No Dumbasses. there will be more added to the field to make games interesting. Got enough parking for about 10-15 cars on property as well. But like i said, small games.
My Son and I would definitely be into playing with you guys........pm me some info about times and location.

Well, it's Tuesday again, but this time, today we had our third big storage launch of 2009! A lot got announced today as part of IBM's big "Dynamic Infrastructure" marketing campaign. I will just focus on the disk-related announcements today:
- IBM System Storage DS8700
IBM adds a new model to its DS8000 series with the [IBM System Storage DS8700]. Earlier this month, fellow blogger and arch-nemesis Barry Burke from EMC posted [R.I.P DS8300] on this mistaken assumption that the new DS8700 meant that DS8300 was going away, or that anyone who bought a DS8300 recently would be out of luck. Obviously, I could not respond until today's announcement, as the last thing I want to do is lose my job disclosing confidential information. BarryB is wrong on both counts:
- IBM will continue to sell the DS8100 and DS8300, in addition to the new DS8700.
- Clients can upgrade their existing DS8100 or DS8300 systems to DS8700.
BarryB's latest post [What's In a Name - DS8700] is fair game, given all the fun and ridicule everyone had at his expense over EMC's "V-Max" name.
So the DS8700 is new hardware with only 4 percent new software. On the hardware side, it uses faster POWER6 processors instead of POWER5+, has faster PCI-e buses instead of the RIO-G loops, and faster four-port device adapters (DAs) for added bandwidth between cache and drives. The DS8700 can be ordered as a single-frame dual 2-way that supports up to 128 drives and 128GB of cache, or as a dual 4-way, consisting of one primary frame, and up to four expansion frames, with up to 384GB of cache and 1024 drives.
Not mentioned explicitly in the announcements were the things the DS8700 does not support:
- ESCON attachment - Now that FICON is well-established for the mainframe market, there is no need to support the slower, bulkier ESCON options. This greatly reduced testing effort. The 2-way DS8700 can support up to 16 four-port FICON/FCP host adapters, and the 4-way can support up to 32 host adapters, for a maximum of 128 ports. The FICON/FCP host adapter ports can auto-negotiate between 4Gbps, 2Gbps and 1Gbps as needed.
- LPAR mode - When IBM and HDS introduced LPAR mode back in 2004, it sounded like a great idea the engineers came up with. Most other major vendors followed our lead to offer similar "partitioning". However, it turned out to be what we call in the storage biz a "selling apple" not a "buying apple". In other words, something the salesman can offer as a differentiating feature, but that few clients actually use. It turned out that supporting both LPAR and non-LPAR modes merely doubled the testing effort, so IBM got rid of it for the DS8700.
Update: I have been reminded that both IBM and HDS delivered LPAR mode within a month of each other back in 2004, so it was wrong for me to imply that HDS followed IBM's lead when obviously development happened in both companies for the most part concurrently prior to that. EMC was late to the "partition" party, but who's keeping track?
Initial performance tests show up to 50 percent improvement for random workloads, and up to 150 percent improvement for sequential workloads, and up to 60 percent improvement in background data movement for FlashCopy functions. The results varied slightly between Fixed Block (FB) LUNs and Count-Key-Data (CKD) volumes, and I hope to see some SPC-1 and SPC-2 benchmark numbers published soon.
The DS8700 is compatible for Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, and Metro/Global Mirror with the rest of the DS8000 series, as well as the ESS model 750, ESS model 800 and DS6000 series.
- New 600GB FC and FDE drives
IBM now offers [600GB drives] for the DS4700 and DS5020 disk systems, as well as the EXP520 and EXP810 expansion drawers. In each case, we are able to pack up to 16 drives into a 3U enclosure.
Personally, I think the DS5020 should have been given a DS4xxx designation, as it resembles the DS4700 more than the other models of the DS5000 series. Back in 2006-2007, I was the marketing strategist for IBM System Storage product line, and part of my job involved all of the meetings to name or rename products. Mostly I gave reasons why products should NOT be renamed, and why it was important to name the products correctly at the beginning.
- IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller hardware and software
Fellow IBM master inventory Barry Whyte has been covering the latest on the [SVC 2145-CF8 hardware]. IBM put out a press release last week on this, and today is the formal announcement with prices and details. Barry's latest post [SVC CF8 hardware and SSD in depth] covers just part of the entire announcement.
The other part of the announcement was the [SVC 5.1 software] which can be loaded on earlier SVC models 8F2, 8F4, and 8G4 to gain better performance and functionality.
To avoid confusion on what is hardware machine type/model (2145-CF8 or 2145-8A4) and what is software program (5639-VC5 or 5639-VW2), IBM has introduced two new [Solution Offering Identifiers]:
- 5465-028 Standard SAN Volume Controller
- 5465-029 Entry Edition SAN Volume Controller
The latter is designed for smaller deployments, supports only a single SVC node-pair managing up to 150 disk drives, available in Raven Black or Flamingo Pink.
- EXN3000 and EXP5060 Expansion Drawers
IBM offers the [EXN3000 for the IBM N series]. These expansion drawers can pack 24 drives in a 4U enclosure. The drives can either be all-SAS, or all-SATA, supporting 300GB, 450GB, 500GB and 1TB size capacity drives.
The [EXP5060 for the IBM DS5000 series] is a high-density expansion drawer that can pack up to 60 drives into a 4U enclosure. A DS5100 or DS5300 can handle up to eight of these expansion drawers, for a total of 480 drives.
- IBM System Storage Productivity Center v1.4
The latest [System Storage Productivity Center (SSPC) v1.4] can manage all of your DS3000, DS4000, DS5000, DS6000, DS8000 series disk, and SAN Volume Controller. You can get the SSPC built in two modes:
- Pre-installed with Tivoli Storage Productivity Center Basic Edition. Basic Edition can be upgraded with license keys to support Data, Disk and Standard Edition to extend support and functionality to report and manage XIV, N series, and non-IBM disk systems.
- Pre-installed with Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM). This can be used to manage the Full Disk Encryption (FDE) encryption-capable disk drives in the DS8000 and DS5000, as well as LTO and TS1100 series tape drives.
- IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager v2.1
The [IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager V2.1] replaces two products in one. IBM used to offer IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Copy Services (TSM for CS) that protected Windows application data, and IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Advanced Copy Services (TSM for ACS) that protected AIX application data.
The new product has some excellent advantages. FlashCopy Manager offers application-aware backup of LUNs containing SAP, Oracle, DB2, SQL server and Microsoft Exchange data. It can support IBM DS8000, SVC and XIV point-in-time copy functions, as well as the Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) interfaces of the IBM DS5000, DS4000 and DS3000 series disk systems. It is priced by the amount of TB you copy, not on the speed or number of CPU processors inside the server.
Don't let the name fool you. IBM FlashCopy Manager does not require that you use Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) as your backup product. You can run IBM FlashCopy Manager on its own, and it will manage your FlashCopy target versions on disk, and these can be backed up to tape or another disk using any backup product. However, if you are lucky enough to also be using TSM, then there is optional integration that allows TSM to manage the target copies, move them to tape, inventory them in its DB2 database, and provide complete reporting.

Acrylic GS - medium grey, transparent
0.118 inches 0.197 inches
What is it
Acrylic glass GS sheets are produced by means of liquid PMMA polymerizing between two sheets of glass. This process produces a material with outstanding characteristics: it is fracture resistant (compared to glass), weather resistant, highly transparent and lends itself to being shaped and processed.
Acrylic has a thickness tolerance of +/-15% of the material thickness.
Design notes
Acrylic semifinished products do not turn yellow in the sunshine. This makes them perfect for outdoor use. Because acrylic glass is subject to thermal expansion, any fixing or mounting systems must be so designed that the sheets are never under stress. Acrylic glass should not be cleaned with glass cleaners like Sidolin because they can corrode or deface it. Warm water with detergent or special plastic cleaners should be used.
Typical uses
Acrylic sheets have universal applications: for lightweight constructions in model making or visual displays, in picture frames or glazing as well as for making signs and light boxes.
Adhesives, joints & fastenings
Acrylic glass GS can be milled, drilled and sawn, glued with Dichloromethane, and, as a thermoplastic plastic, can be shaped (deformed) at temperatures between 160C and 180C.

It's time to ask for more money.
According to a study released by the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR), women don't make 77 cents to every man's dollar. We make 69.6 cents. The study controls for the fact that women have less time in paid work than men. Turns out - "Hour per hour, including only those women and men with the strongest [career] attachment who had earnings every single year, in this [15-year] study women still earn only 69.6 cents of each dollar earned per hour by men (see Table 1)."

United States District Court, E.D. California
February 3, 2015
DAVID HERNANDEZ, Plaintiff,v.CLIFF ALLENBY, et al., Defendants.
MICHAEL J. SENG, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. His complaint is before the Court for screening.
The in forma pauperis statute provides, "Notwithstanding any filing fee, or any portion thereof, that may have been paid, the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that... the action or appeal... fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
Section 1983 "provides a cause of action for the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws of the United States." Wilder v. Virginia Hosp. Ass'n , 496 U.S. 498, 508 (1990) (quoting 42 U.S.C. § 1983). Section 1983 is not itself a source of substantive rights, but merely provides a method for vindicating federal rights conferred elsewhere. Graham v. Connor , 490 U.S. 386, 393-94 (1989).
To state a claim under § 1983, a plaintiff must allege two essential elements: (1) that a right secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States was violated and (2) that the alleged violation was committed by a person acting under the color of state law. See West v. Atkins , 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988); Ketchum v. Alameda Cnty. , 811 F.2d 1243, 1245 (9th Cir. 1987).
A complaint must contain "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief...." Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2). Detailed factual allegations are not required, but "[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, do not suffice." Ashcroft v. Iqbal , 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (citing Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly , 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). Plaintiff must set forth "sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id . Facial plausibility demands more than the mere possibility that a defendant committed misconduct and, while factual allegations are accepted as true, legal conclusions are not. Id. at 677-78.
Plaintiff is detained at Coalinga State Hospital ("CSH"). He names as Defendants the following persons in their official capacities: (1) Audrey King, Executive Director of CSH, (2) Cliff Allenby, Director of California Department of State Hospitals, (3) Tom Voss, Former Executive Director of CSH, (4) Pam Ahlin, Former Executive Director of CSH, and (5) Stephen Mayberg, former Director of California Department of Mental Health.
Plaintiff's allegations may be summarized essentially as follows.
The San Diego County District Attorney filed a petition pursuant to California's Sexually Violent Predator Act ("SVPA") alleging that Plaintiff required mental health treatment in an inpatient setting because Plaintiff was likely to commit sexually violent predatorial offenses if released into the community. The San Diego County Superior Court adjudicated the petition and ordered Plaintiff be prohibited from taking part in outpatient treatment. Plaintiff is detained at Coalinga State Hospital pursuant to the Superior Court's order. Plaintiff has been in Defendants' custody pursuant to this order since 2006.
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants are aware his confinement is excessively restrictive in relation to the purposes of the SVPA and that he has been irrationally denied the benefits of outpatient treatment. Plaintiff contends that Defendants' assessments of whether Plaintiff was likely to commit sexually violent predatorial offenses if released into the community were based on an irrational and fraudulent assessment scheme. He points to various research studies and other articles purporting to demonstrate that recidivism rates for sexually violent predators are lower than perceived, that the assessment tools used by the State of California are unreliable, and that supervised release and outpatient treatment of sex offenders are as effective as, if not more effective than, civil detention in ensuring such offenders do not recidivate.
Plaintiff alleges that the assessment scheme and denial of outpatient treatment violate his Fourteenth Amendment rights to procedural and substantive due process, adequate treatment, equal protection, and to be free from conditions that are excessively restrictive in relation to their purported purposes.
Plaintiff seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief preventing Defendants from maintaining custody of individuals detained pursuant to the SVPA until Defendants are able to provide them with outpatient treatment, as well as a declaration that the assessment methodology used is "irrational contrary to the Procedural Due Process rights within the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment."
A. Overview of Sexually Violent Predator Act
The SVPA, Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code §§ 6600 et seq., provides for the civil commitment of "a person who has been convicted of a sexually violent offense against one or more victims and who has a diagnosed mental disorder that makes the person a danger to the health and safety of others in that it is likely that he or she will engage in sexually violent criminal behavior." Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6600(a)(1). The SVPA codifies a process involving several administrative and judicial stages to determine whether an individual meets the requirements for civil commitment.
First, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) screens inmates who may be sexually violent predators at least six months prior to their scheduled release dates. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6601(a)(1), (b). The screening is conducted in accordance with a structured screening instrument developed by the State Department of State Hospitals ("SDSH"). Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6601(b). If CDCR and BPH determine that an individual "is likely to be a sexually violent predator, " CDCR refers the individual to the SDSH for a full evaluation. Id.
The SDSH employs a standardized assessment protocol to determine whether a person is a sexually violent predator under Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6601(c). If two SDSH evaluators, or in some circumstances, two independent evaluators, determine that the person has "a diagnosed mental disorder so that he or she is likely to engage in acts of sexual violence without appropriate treatment and custody, " the Director of SDSH forwards a request for a petition for commitment to the applicable county. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6601(d)-(h).
If the county's designated counsel agrees with the request, a petition for commitment is filed in Superior Court. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6601(i). "The filing of the petition triggers a new round of proceedings" under the SVPA. People v. Superior Court ( Ghilotti ), 27 Cal.4th 888, 904 (Cal. 2002). The petition is reviewed by a superior court judge to determine whether the petition "states or contains sufficient facts that, if true, would constitute probable cause to believe that the individual named in the petition is likely to engage in sexually violent predatory criminal behavior upon his or her release." Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6601.5. If so found, a probable cause hearing is conducted, at which the alleged predator is entitled to the assistance of counsel. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code §§ 6601.5, 6602(a). If, at the hearing, no probable cause is found, the petition is dismissed. Id . However, if probable cause is found, a trial is conducted. Id.
At trial, the individual is entitled to the assistance of counsel, to retain experts or other professionals to perform an examination on his or her behalf, and to access all relevant medical and psychological records and reports. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6603(a). Either party may demand a jury trial. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6603(a)-(b). The trier of fact must determine whether the person is a sexually violent predator beyond a reasonable doubt. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6604. "If the court or jury determines that the person is a sexually violent predator, the person shall be committed for an indeterminate term to the custody of [SDSH] for appropriate treatment and confinement in a secure facility designated by the Director of State Hospitals." Id.
Once committed, sexually violent predators must be reevaluated at least annually. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6604.9(a). The annual report must include consideration of whether the person "currently meets the definition of a sexually violent predator and whether conditional release to a less restrictive alternative, pursuant to Section 6608, or an unconditional discharge, pursuant to 6605, is in the best interest of the person and conditions can be imposed that would adequately protect the community." Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6604.9(b). If SDSH has reason to believe the person is no longer a sexually violent predator, it shall seek judicial review of the commitment. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6605(c). If SDSH determines that conditional release or unconditional discharge is appropriate, it shall authorize the committed person to petition the court for conditional release or unconditional discharge. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6604.9(d). The committed person also may petition the court for conditional release without the recommendation or concurrence of SDSH. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(a).
The court may deny a petition for conditional release without a hearing if it is based on frivolous grounds. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(a). If the petition is not based on frivolous grounds, the court shall hold a hearing to determine "whether the person committed would be a danger to the health and safety of others in that it is likely that he or she will engage in sexually violent criminal behavior due to his or her diagnosed mental disorder if under supervision and treatment in the community." Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(g). The committed person has the right to counsel and the appointment of experts for the hearing. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(a), (g). The committed person bears the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence, unless the SDSH's annual reevaluation determines that conditional release is appropriate, in which case the State bears the burden of proof. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(k). If the court determines that the committed person would not be a danger while under supervision and treatment, the person shall be placed in a conditional release program for one year. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(g). Thereafter, the committed person may petition the court for unconditional discharge. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(m).
If, upon receiving a petition for unconditional discharge, the court finds probable cause to believe that the committed person is not a danger to the health and safety of others and is not likely to engage in sexually violent criminal behavior if discharged, a hearing is conducted. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6605(a)(2). At the hearing, the committed person is entitled to the same constitutional protections afforded at the initial trial. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6605(a)(3). Either party may demand a jury trial. Id . The state bears the burden of proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the committed person remains a danger to the health and safety of others and is likely to engage in sexually violent criminal behavior if discharged. Id . If the petition is resolved in the committed person's favor, he is unconditionally released and unconditionally discharged. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6605(b).
B. Claims Cognizable Only in Habeas Corpus
The exclusive method for challenging the fact or duration of Plaintiff's confinement is by filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Wilkinson v. Dotson , 544 U.S. 74, 78 (2005). See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(a). Such claims may not be brought in a section 1983 action. Nor may Plaintiff seek to invalidate the fact or duration of his confinement indirectly through a judicial determination that necessarily implies the unlawfulness of the State's custody. Wilkinson , 544 U.S. at 81. A section 1983 action is barred, no matter the relief sought, if success in that action would necessarily demonstrate the invalidity of confinement or its duration. Id. at 81-82; Heck v. Humphrey , 512 U.S. 477, 489 (1994) (unless and until favorable termination of the conviction or sentence, no cause of action under section 1983 exists); Huftile v. Miccio-Fonseca , 410 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 2005) (applying Heck to SVPA detainees with access to habeas relief).
Plaintiff's claims for injunctive relief seek his release from custody so that he may participate in outpatient treatment in lieu of civil detention. While a claim for prospective relief often does not call into question the validity of a plaintiff's confinement, see Edwards v. Balisok , 520 U.S. 641, 648 (1997), Plaintiff's claims here directly challenge his custody. He may not bring these claims in a section 1983 action. Wilkinson , 544 U.S. at 78.
Plaintiff's claim that he is subjected to excessively restrictive conditions in violation of the Due Process clause also is barred. The excessively restrictive condition he challenges is his confinement itself. He cannot be granted relief on this claim without invalidating his detention. Thus, he may not bring this claim in a section 1983 action. Wilkinson , 544 U.S. at 81-82.
Likewise, Plaintiff's allegation that he was denied outpatient treatment in violation of the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses clearly implicates the validity of his confinement. He does not seek outpatient treatment as a stand-alone mental health care claim; rather, he seeks outpatient treatment in lieu of civil detention. Again, success on this claim would invalidate Plaintiff's confinement, and the claim therefore may not be brought in a section 1983 action. Id.
Finally, Plaintiff's claim that the assessment methodology violated his Due Process rights, and his request for a declaration to that effect, are barred on the same ground. See Huftile , 410 F.3d at 1141 (concluding that challenge to SVPA assessments would imply invalidity of civil commitment and therefore could only be brought in habeas corpus). To the extent his claims are based on the use of the assessments in his civil commitment proceedings, they present a direct challenge to the validity of his confinement, and may not be brought in this action. Wilkinson , 544 U.S. at 81. To the extent he attempts to assert due process rights in this assessment process itself, any claim as to the propriety of the assessments is so related to the civil commitment proceeding that success thereon would imply the invalidity of Plaintiff's confinement: absent the allegedly deficient assessments, no petition for commitment would have been filed, and there would have been no basis for the Superior Court to proceed on the petition to civilly commit Plaintiff under the SVPA. Huftile , 410 F.3d at 1141.
In sum, until Plaintiff's civil detention has been "reversed on direct appeal, expunged by executive order, declared invalid by a state tribunal authorized to make such determination, or called into question by a federal court's issuance of a writ of habeas corpus, " Plaintiff is barred from bringing his claims under section 1983. Heck , 512 U.S. at 487.
C. Prospective Relief from Future Assessments
Edwards leaves open the possibility for Plaintiff to seek prospective relief in a section 1983 action to prevent future injury caused by future assessments. 520 U.S. at 648. However, Plaintiff has not specifically articulated such a claim. Moreover, even if he wishes to do so, his allegations would fail to state a cognizable claim.
Plaintiff alleges the assessments violated his procedural and substantive Due Process rights. However, Plaintiff does not identify any process due to him, under the SVPA or otherwise, that was denied in the assessment process. Significantly, the assessments are not determinative of whether Plaintiff's detention should continue. Rather, Plaintiff may petition the court for conditional release without the recommendation or concurrence of SDSH. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608(a). Plaintiff's continued detention is determined by a judge at a hearing in which Plaintiff has the right to counsel and to retain experts to rebut the State's assessments. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6608. His ultimate release from commitment is determined by a judge or jury in a proceeding in which Plaintiff maintains the right to counsel and to retain experts, and the State bears the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6605. The SVPA provides sufficient procedural mechanisms for Plaintiff to challenge the assessments, and to demonstrate that he no longer qualifies for civil detention. These protections are such that any flaws in the assessment process do not rise to a due process violation.
Plaintiff's claims, either directly or indirectly, challenge the validity of his confinement, a challenge which may be brought only in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Thus, Plaintiff has failed to state any claims that are cognizable under section 1983. To the extent Plaintiff could amend to seek relief that is not no so barred, his allegations fail to state a cognizable claim for the reason stated. These deficiencies are not capable of being cured through amendment. Akhtar v. Mesa , 698 F.3d 1202, 1212-13 (9th Cir. 2012). Plaintiff should not be given leave to amend his section 1983 claims.
It is recommended that the Court direct the Clerk's Office to provide Plaintiff with a habeas petition form, and that Plaintiff be permitted to file a habeas petition setting forth facts supporting his challenge to the fact and/or the duration of his confinement. Alternatively, if Plaintiff no longer wishes to pursue this action, he may file a notice of voluntary dismissal. Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:
1. Plaintiff's complaint (ECF No. 1) be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted;
2. The Clerk's Office be directed to send Plaintiff a habeas petition form; and
3. Plaintiff be required to file a habeas petition or a notice of voluntary dismissal within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order adopting these findings and recommendations.
These Findings and Recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within fourteen (14) days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, any party may file written objections with the Court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within fourteen (14) days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler , 772 F.3d 834, 839 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan , 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)).

At the 100-mile distance, no one comes close to matching Karl Meltzer's record—a stunning 35 wins—and, at 44, Meltzer (aka Speedgoat) is still notching victories over younger and stronger-than-ever fields. In 2012, he racked up three top-box finishes, including the hyped, inaugural Run Rabbit Run 100 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (he also added $11K to his bank account for that win).
In fact, since joining the 40-year-old-plus Masters ranks, Meltzer has tallied 14 of his wins, from Virginia to Alabama to Colorado to California. At the notoriously punishing Hardrock 100 (34,000 feet of elevation gain, mostly on technical ground at an average elevation of 11,000 feet) in the rugged San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, Meltzer has made his mark, tallying five wins in 10 starts from 1999 to 2012. He still holds the counter-clockwise record of 24:38:02 for his 2009 performance, at age 42.
Coming from a Utah ski-bum pedigree, Meltzer trains by feel and runs a "modest" 60 to 70 miles per week, although most of his running is in the mountains between 8000 and 12,000 feet. His long runs aren't huge, 15 to 20 miles, and he attributes his relatively injury-free career to listening well to his body and allowing adequate recovery between races.
In 2007, in the super-steep Wasatch Mountains his backyard, Meltzer founded the immediately popular Speedgoat 50K. This burly race features 11,600 feet of climbing, and attracts a high-caliber field. This year, the Catalonian sensation Kilian Jornet finished first, although controversy swirled around his Euro switchback-cutting technique (see below); the second runner across the line, Rickey Gates, was awarded the top cash prize.
Meltzer lives in Sandy, Utah, with his wife, Cheryl, also an ultrarunner, and makes his coin through his running and coaching.
What are your 2012 personal highlights?
My highlight for 2012 is definitely winning the Run Rabbit Run 100. I was not the favorite going into the race. I gave myself a "chance" to run top five, but never thought I'd walk away with a win and the money. When speaking with the RD, Fred Abramowitz, about putting on a 100-miler with a decent prize purse, then actually helping to make it happen ... winning it was pretty special.
It's fair to say that I "schooled" everyone, with the way the race panned out, but I ran my own race as I always do. I never let others dictate what I do, which I think in 100s is the smartest approach. A lot of variables come into play over such a long distance.
The second highlight was winning the Grindstone 100 [in Sedalia, Virginia] three weeks later. I was on a pretty big high, and had a lot of confidence after RRR. Neal Gorman and Jason Schlarb were both there, and I knew they would press me. I responded like a pro, exactly when I wanted to as Neal and I were within two minutes of each other at mile 60. I ran harder on the technical terrain and ran away—it felt great to be able to do that.
How has your training changed since hitting the big Four-O?
My training hasn't changed at all since I started running ultras. I run up mountains, hike a lot up steep trails. I probably climb a bit slower than I used to, but I'll never do intervals or speed training—it's not my style. I run quality effort just about all the time I train. Being older doesn't make it any different. Descending, I can still fly if I want to.
What is your advice to aspiring 100-mile trail racers?
My advice is to have a plan. Run your own race, and don't let others suck you into going too fast early. I see it every race where, after 20 to 30 miles, folks fall off the pace. I just keep plugging along, and I'll say it one more time: "We don't have to run fast, we just have to run all day."
Speed means nothing at the 100-mile distance, even guys that run 13 hours. When running a 13-hour pace for 100 miles, elite runners still aren't working hard. It's just a matter of whether or not they can sustain that effort to the end.

Here's what we were told by a test-pilot as we walked around the aircraft: "We routinely supercruise with this fighter on test-flights". The next day, over dinner, the people who actually run the Indian F-16 campaign (including a veteran Falcon pilot) said that the pilot in question had maybe got "carried away" by the moment. What he really meant to say, apparently, was that the Falcon routinely went supersonic in dives for a few seconds. Ok, even Hawker Hunters could break the sound barrier in dives, so this isn't such a big deal. And anyway, the definition of supercruise is the capability of an aircraft to cruise at supersonic speeds without engine reheat during sustained level flight. The General Electric F110-GE-132 turbofan that powers the Block 60 cannot push the Falcon into level supersonic flight without wet power. It's that simple.
As it turns out, the concept and reality of supercruise technology are not as simple as they appear. The F119-PW-100 which powers the Raptor and the Typhoon's Eurojet EJ200 are considered the only rate production turbofans that can push the airplanes they were designed for into the realm of supercruise. The F-35's F135 and F136 turbofans are not designed for supercruise -- there are those who feel that this alone is enough to erode the aircraft's fifth generation status. Either way, the MMRCA RfP doesn't ask for a supercruising aircraft. The advantages of supercruise are still not sharply defined. The pros aren't all black and white -- supercruising still chews jet fuel like pop corn compared to subsonic flight for the same distance. And engine wear and tear in supersonic flight is not lower enough than that caused by reheat to carve out for itself any unique advantage. Like the people here said, making supercruise capabilities second nature to modern turbofans is one of the most funded parts of jet engine and integration research today.
Well, to end on a lighter note, here's something that should tell us all a good deal about the IAF's legendary woes with Russia: the RfP for the MMRCA says that all spares for the chosen fighter should be "brand new".

Todd B. in Pennsylvania writes:
Sounds like a great opportunity except for the age limitation. Why 32? At 32 I wasnt an "expert" at much especially not peacekeeping or international affairs. This limits real "experts" such as myself and a wealth of others in their 40s and early 50s who would welcome the opportunity.
Suzanne C. in the U.S.A. writes:
Who is behind this website? Which WHO? China? Any letterer? Theo, thinking I could be a molecular biologist while on the lam?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
If there is an age limit, then the UN secretariat is not an equal opportunity employer.
Since The US dept of State is sponsoring US citizens under 32, then an agency of the US gov. which is by law an "equal opportinity employer" and should not descriminate based on color, creed, gender or age; is willing party to such age discrmination.
What up with that, Courtney?
Jorge P. in Puerto Rico writes:
don't you have something for 45 years old people that want to contribute to the cause thanks
David in Florida writes:
So do those of us who are older than 32 suddenly stop becoming "experts" once we reach this milestone? How ridiculous. Age decimation at its most blatant.

Why 32 years old to apply for this job? why not respond to this and other questions below?

The Real G Tours The Wired LivingHome & Meets The Minds Behind The Project
Contributing Monkie G Monkie
Published on May 1, 2008
Modern? Luxury? Green? Wow. Sounds like a job for G Living! And send me, please. We're excited to be invited to the first ever Wired LivingHome. Off to Brentwood, California, taking you (wherever you are) to a residence that promises to serve as the benchmark for how we can live NOW. The future is here. NOW. We may not be fulfilling upon my vision of the future: the Jetsons with flying cars and instant pill meals (just add water)… but iPhones and electric cars come pretty close, and if you're a total construction/architecture slut like me, these homes (if you've never seen one) make me want to swear. They're cool. And this one is open to the public. We can get in, and you can, too.

Hi guys,
I was wondering about the status of the open jams that used to happen in the Cave. Apologies if this has been suggested elsewhere, but are there any plans to start them up again? I thought perhaps entry could be by (suggested?) donation to make up for loss of regular booking time, and that potentially someone (me? someone else?) could curate each session to keep things smooth and look after the donations. Thoughts? Good idea? Madness?

Sharron Lynn Martis
PALMER, Mich. – Sharron Lynn Martis, 52, of Palmer, MI, died unexpectedly at the University of Michigan Hospital following complications due to a brain hemorrhage. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Sharron was born May 23, 1961, in Mount Clemens, MI, to Clifford and Ruth (Rioux) Fougnie and graduated from Algonac High School, Class of 1979.
She married Howard R. Martis July 14, 1979. They moved to Iron River in 1991, and then to Palmer in 2006.
Sharron was employed as an Emergency Department Technician for Marquette General Hospital. She just recently graduated with honors from Bay De Noc Community College's LPN Program, and was accepted into the RN Program to pursue her dream of becoming a registered nurse.
Sharron was a devout member of the Bible Baptist Church, Ishpeming, was a member of Richmond Township EMS, and belonged to the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. She was passionate about helping others, and was a proud organ donor.
She enjoyed gardening, berry picking, and fishing with her husband, whether it was stream fishing for trout or for lakers and salmon on the Great Lakes. Most of all, Sharron enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her children and grandchildren.
Surviving are her loving husband of 34 years, Howard R. Martis; 3 sons: Philip Martis of East China Township, Stephen (Ashley) Martis of Midland and Timothy Martis of Palmer; 2 daughters: Rebekah (David) Hall of Gwinn and Bethany (Alan) Shaeffer of Xenia, OH; 8 grandchildren with another grandchild expected this week; 2 brothers: Richard Fougnie of FL and Rob (Terry) Crampton of Cottrellville Township; a sister, Emily (Earl) McCartney of Marine City; her step-father, Edward Crampton of FL; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Sharron was preceded in death by her parents.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, July 19 at the Bible Baptist Church in Ishpeming with Sharron's husband, Rev. Howard R. Martis officiating. Burial will be in the Negaunee Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Sharron's 3 sons, her brother, Rob, her son-in-law, David Hall, and her brother-in-law, Earl McCartney.
The family will greet relatives and friends from 9:00 a.m. until the time of services at 11:00 a.m. at the church on Friday, and also at a reception in the church hall following the committal service at the cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks considering memorial contributions to the Bible Baptist Church, 615 N. Lake St., Ishpeming, MI 49849, in Sharron's memory.
Condolences may be expressed online at koskeyfuneralhome.com.

Dr. Phil: True stories?Posted Monday, March 24, 2008, at 11:03 PM
I've thought that, for the most part, TV's Dr. Phil seems more reasonable than most talk show hosts.
But are his guests being manipulated?
Go to http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/fr... for a look at how one couple says they were misrepresented.
Any thoughts?

I know that it's just my opinion, but this country is way to enthralled with seeing people disenfranchised or marginalized on TV as a form of "entertainment." Everyone like Phil (I don't think he's a real dr) because he "told it like it is" but sometimes being tactful is more effective. Phil is totally into Phil. When Britany Spears was going through so much turmoil, he went to her hospital and then to the rag mags and then to his TV show to use it for ratings and self-gratification. Please...Make Him Stop. I don't need to watch that kind of entertainment. I don't enjoy Idol because Simon is a creep, I don't enjoy several talk shows because they treat people like crap. What's wrong with being nice? What's wrong with finding out what's going on without humiliating the hell out of everyone? I am astonished at the bloodthirsty public wanting to know every little moment someone is going through when they are having a rough time. Does it make us feel superior that "at least we aren't doing that?" For Heaven's sake, I couldn't stand Jerry Springer and now we have Phil and Simon, GIve it a rest. Let's find someone like Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas or Johnny Carson to allow us a glimpse into glamour without all the sleaze. To give us a chance to see some talented performers without humiliating them when they err. To err is human to forgive -divine. Ahh for the good old days.

cubicalgirl, you may be right, he may be a moron. He's a funny moron in my opinion but in this case his level of intellect is not the issue they're making. It's about the fact that he DOES host a tv show and tv shows, like it or not, depend greatly on ratings. If it's boring people won't watch.

Dr. Phil is a moron. If he really cared about helpingpeople he'd go back to private practice rather than parade people and their problems on TV for ratings.
I was done with him years ago when I saw him on an episode of Oprah. The topic was young children engaging in sexual activity. He basically stood up and told a bunch of young girls on the panel that there were dirty sluts then turned to the boys and gave them a little wink and said, "You know you really shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff..." Nice double standard!

Yea, but ya kinda have to know that when you sign up to do a show like this you're not going to get the opportunity to tell your "I'm an alcoholic but not a jerk" story.

The problem is that the folks on his show didn't have a chance to give their input. If the footage, producers, or Dr. Phil portray their lives inaccurately for entertainment purposes, these people should have the right to state the reality of their situations.
Just because this guy's an alcoholic doesn't mean he is a jerk.

I happen to think Dr. Phil is funny, that being said I'd never put myself in a position to have someone else pick apart my life on national tv.
What I'm hearing out of the article you linked was that he didn't like being portrayed as an alcoholic and she didn't like being portrayed as the girlfriend of an alcoholic....but that's what they are. You don't seek help from a dr to have sugar patted up your butt.

Topic: Deploying to the UK
Hey all,
I am not too sure if any of you have heard of BrightBox (http://www.brightbox.co.uk). It's a new "Ruby on Rails Focused VPS" solution based in the UK.
I am by no means a Sys Admin, but I do have probably a simple question for those who have more knowledge in this sector than I do.
I currently live in the US, but if I happen to buy a VPS account at BrightBox (which is based in the UK), would there be any performance/access issues? Is it not recommended just because of the geographical location? What concerns are there when not hosting your rails app in the same part of the world as yourself?
Thanks in advance,
