Skip to comments.John Boehner Has Already Killed The 'Grand Bargain' More Than 5 Hours Before Obama's Speech
Posted on 07/30/2013 7:57:28 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
House Speaker John Boehner has already thrown a wrench into President Barack Obama's latest "grand bargain" offer just a few hours after details of it began trickling out, and just five hours before Obama is set to deliver a speech detailing the plan in Tennessee. The gist of Obama's grand bargain is a plan to cut the corporate tax rate, while using billions of dollars in revenue generated in business tax overhaul to fund a job-creation program.
In a statement, Boehner spokesman Michael Steel shot down the idea, marveling that it left small businesses "and American families behind."
"The President has always supported corporate tax reform. Republicans want to help families and small businesses, too," Steel said. "This proposal allows President Obama to support President Obama's position on taxes and President Obama's position on spending, while leaving small businesses and American families behind."
A House GOP leadership aide explained that Republicans have advocated corporate tax reform being paried with individual tax reform. Cutting the corporate tax rate to 25% while leaving the top individual rate at 39.6%, the aide said, would have a "devastating" effect on small businesses.

I don't believe Boner.
Letting Obama touch corporate taxes is a huge mistake. He'll only increase the effective rate no matter how its advertised.
No more of this Grand Bargain, Sequestration, etc, etc. Pick an issue popular with 75% of the people and champion it. If the GOP doesn't pick up some specific items to fight for, they'll never pick up additional support. The past three years have been overwhelmingly confusing to the typical American voter...which is to Obama's benefit. Look at the 90s. We championed welfare reform, pro-investment tax reform and reform in the legislative branch to clean up corruption. Easy to communicate in one sentence, and easy to rally support. The C wizards of smart are anything but.
I got an issue which will resonate with 90% of Americans right here:
Stop sending American jobs elsewhere.
Bring back American jobs.
Fer crying out loud. What in the world are we doing?
Let me guess.. More government workers and union hacks?
There are a lot of bridges and roads that need to be built...
How about get rid of all income tax rates period, both individual and business?
Any revenue generated by business will be misspent by Obama.
Letting Obama touch ANYTHING is a huge mistake.
Boehner has been around long enough to realize that once the crony capitalists smell a proposal that could put some cash in their pockets they will unleash the full power of K Street upon his caucus in order to pass it.
Killing our free-market, Capitalist Republic by asphyxiating the private sector while growing the government workforce (National Civilian Security Force)?
A "Grand Bargain" is the only hope the United States military has from being completely destroyed from within by its own government.
You talk again and again about how this is "Obama's Sequester", but you don't lift a finger to stop it.
As Speaker, you didn't even attempt to stop the 2011 cuts to the military of $487 Billion over ten years. Those were in addition to the $330 Billion cuts that began in 2009 (Rep "Buck" McKeon, the HASC Chairman, verified these numbers in an article he recently wrote). Then, you yourself negotitated and voted yes on the "formula" to make the military "pay for" 50% of all Sequestration cuts, despite it being only 17% of the budget, and you negotiated and allowed for Entitlements to be exempt from Sequestration!
Five months on, and the military is being decimated by Sequestration. The damage has already been deep and in some cases not reversible without years of healing.
The rumors are probably true Boehner, you cannot figure out which way to pee in the morning without asking Rep Eric Cantor to hold it for you. Why don't you simply resign and let him run for Speaker - you aren't doing your job anyway.
If Barry believes not having the very highest corporate tax in the world is a good thing, he can agree to bring it down modestly, which is all he proposes, without slashing deductions or spending billions in boondoggles.
Get oil down to 40 bucks a barrel and get rid of Obamacare and the problems go away.
Dump O-CommieCare and jobs will start coming back
Other countries can do some things cheaper. What is wrong with that? Now there are some products that can't be made/done in an affordable manner BECAUSE of government and those environmental/labor burdens should be eased. But the idea of a private company sending jobs elsewhere isn't a bad thing unless it caused by the government. Private companies should NEVER be penalized for outsourcing.
Oh those roads and bridges were fixed back with the trillion dollar stimulus. Don't you remember? Obama said we had to fix them and pass the stimulus to we could pay for it? All those jobs to be created from it?
Wait, you mean that DIDN'T happen?
Social Security and Medicare would still be barreling towards insolvency, FedGov would still be taxing us through currency devaluation, our 16T debt would still be unpaid and the gigantic corrupt bureaucracy would still be in place.
It would be a good start, however.
That is not a black and white issue. In most cases foreign goods are crap, case and point most software.
On an earlier thread today I made the statement that the Republican Party (Boehner) was all blow and no show.
The same statement applies to this article.
The Republicans will "huff and puff" and then tuck their tails in and run away for the biggest crony capitalist party is the Republicans...bar-none.
Not sure where you live but in Texas, those roads and bridges are being built...by illegals. You can look at any road project and all you see are illegals - once in awhile, you see an American(black,white,hispanic, and yes, you can tell the difference) on a backhoe or other large piece of equipment, but mostly you see illegals.
such work requires skills byond the capacity ofthe great unwashed masses
Right. And where did the money go?
Even w/out OCare, jobs will NOT be coming back to the U.S., which has the highest corporate tax rate in the world.
Might as well ask to restore the Republic to its Constitutional basis; that, sure as sh!t, would do it....better, faster, stronger.
Can we use slave labor? Eventually the unemployed and welfare people will outnumber the employed and well to do. They will vote to take their stuff...what then?
"Pick an issue popular with 75% of the people and champion it."..........
That would be to defund and eliminate Odumbocare completely.
If you think the IRS is intrusive now, just wait until they are chasing every self-employed "consultant" for sales taxes, every barter transaction, every gift... If you think the drug war is bad, if you think property seizures for collections are bad now, just wait until there is a "FARE Tax" because the size of the black market will be so huge that the IRS will take total control of cash, seize assets in lieu of payment, and watch every transaction to get its cut. That includes chipping people to buy or sell.
Spending is the problem. Tax policy pales by comparison.
Boehner did not kill Obama's grand bargain.
It was NO "grand bargain" and as a proposal there was nothing to kill, it was DOA = dead on arrival - before anyone said anything.
You're part of the fraction of 1% that believes the income tax is better.
An article describing Boehner saying the right thing is put up, he's not playing at all with the administration on corporate taxes, and half the posts actually suggest he's doing something bad.
Have we become so crazy in our outrage that we can't even read?
No, we just know the guy.
Ever had a pet coon? What they don't tear up they crap on.
Obama is just the same except he has no endearing qualities whatsoever.
They've already spent those several trillion nickels.
I don't particularly trust Boehner, but the idea that he ALWAYS goes along is just stupid. When he does something right, I'm not going to piss and moan and act outraged, and neither should anyone here. It's a bad sign.
I don't understand this comment. A rate cut is a rate cut. It's still more money in pockets.
Actually, in principle I prefer consumption taxes, but that preference dissolves when the rate carries serious unintended consequences. You see, in addition to my 12% State income tax, and the 1/5% property tax I pay, I already pay a 9% sales tax, to which you propose to add another 30% (Fare taxers lie about the rate).
There is already a black market in cigarettes and alcohol because of a lower rate than the Fare Tax would assess, but instead of answering the argument with content you chose to portray my position falsely.
If the income tax went back to 1% (which was the original rate) would you really be bitching about it now?
The problem is spending.
The nation is ready for Reaganomics again. A liberal businessman I know suggested welfare reform without any prompting from me.
It's time.
Read a story yesterday the Newport Beach life guards get $200,000 a year and retire at 50.
I'll take that please.
Let me put it this way to Boehner and 0bama...
After all the spending and redistributive policies of the regime...a minuscule tax cut to businesses now ...won't improve the economy.
The result for 2014?
The democrats can say..."see 0bama did that and it failed. It shows the republican philosophy doesn't work."
Are we crazy?
Nope not at all.
We're just aware of being fooled once, twice...and we're not going to say 'shame on me' for a third time.
Boehner is untrustworthy and as such should be removed from office ...even if he is like a stopped clock.
We rage about nothing, pretend that everything that is done is betrayal, and wonder why we lose.
Stupid. Just plain stupid.
No plan, just rage, just stupid.
It is not going to be enough money in pockets with all of 0bama's redistributive programs.
Then the democrats can say in 2014 the idea of cutting taxes to increase revenue doesn't work.
What good is a tax cut ...when it gets taken away by some other entity in some other scheme like 0bamacare.
No, this Grand Bargain is a trap for the republican party and conservatives. It is a bit of slight of hand and it amazes me that FReepers here don't see the forest for the trees on this.
Then we disagree, but we're not stupid, we just see the chessboard differently.
This is a political checkmate move by 0bama.
He'll do this and it won't create jobs...watch.
Business has been so far down that jobs won't be created. The money will just go to pay for healthcare etc. It won't generate jobs.
Hence, it hands 2014 to the democrats.
Political checkmate?
A recycled yawner of an idea is some kind of checkmate?
It's so bad, Boehner didn't even wait for the speech to say it was DOA.
And sorry, the posts ARE stupid and ignorant, raging at nothing. If you think that's a good thing, I guess we do see things differently.
"cut the corporate tax rate, while using billions of dollars in revenue generated in business tax overhaul to fund a job-creation program."
So the net result in increased taxes we end up paying as further "tribute" to Obama.
The FairTax movement is the largest tax reform movement in Congress and in the nation today. There are no lies about the rate. In fact it is a lie to call those that support the FairTax liars. They are truth tellers and the kind of people that I like to have around.
The NRST rate is stated two ways on a receipt, inclusive and exclusive. Income tax rates are stated inclusively, hence the FairTax rate is often quoted inclusively for comparison purposes.
The difference between inclusive and exclusive is one of arithmetic in the denominator. Simply put, given 4 items, if I take away 1 from the four, then I have reduced the total by 25%. Then if given 3 items and I add 1 to this total of 3, I have increased the total by 33%. In the first calculation I use a denominator of 4 and this is the inclusive form. In the second example I use a denominator of 3, and this is the exclusive form.
Complaints about too many taxes are legitimate but the FairTax is not an additional tax, it is a 'replacement' tax to replace the federal income tax and it is applied only to retail products and services, never to business to business transactions nor to used item transactions.
There is already a black market in cigarettes and alcohol because of a lower rate than the Fare Tax would assess, but instead of answering the argument with content you chose to portray my position falsely.
What position? What argument? The IRS will be abolished and state tax collection agencies will collect the NRST, just as they did before the 16th Amendment. You seem to have a real misapplied animus towards the FairTax.
As for enforcement, the FairTax is orders of magnitude more efficient than the Income tax. First, it ***takes two*** people to cheat under the FairTax, a buyer and a seller. Whereas under the Income tax it ***takes only one*** person in secret to cheat. One can say absurdly that cheating under the FairTax will be less efficient.
Second, more than 70% of all retail transactions are carried out by about 3000 corporate chains. And these corporate chains are electronic. It is then so much easier for state tax enforcers to audit an enormous block of retail transactions than it is to audit the books under the income tax code.
"If the income tax went back to 1% (which was the original rate) would you really be bitching about it now?"
I don't need to be the target of your foul mouth.
There have been several flat income taxes in US history beginning with the 1% in 1861 under Lincoln. Income tax proponents always start with the innocent 1% and claim that it will barely be noted in the general population. But history shows that a flat tax never stays flat.
"The problem is spending."
No, it is not 'the' problem, it is 'a' problem. And it is a totally separate problem that can only be helped by the FairTax because of the transparency of the FairTax.
Please be sure to wake me up when Utopia happens.

Milan Fashion Week: Street Style
Stefano Citron and Federico Piaggi picked up on the architectural, asymmetric note they left off on last season (their first). The opening parade of black leather and cashmere separates and coats draped, gathered and folded loosely.
They used fur sparingly, but demonstratively. One wrapped coat had a dyed mink collar that wrapped around and down the model's neck to tuck into the belt. Elsewhere, they worked folds and horizontal layers and flaps. What really worked, though, was when the team kept things minimal, which let the beautiful materials they used do all the talking.

Arizona and Florida are two teams that probably not a lot of people penciled into their choices for a Final Four berth in March.
Is either really that good?
It'll take a while to figure that one out. But when the Gators and Wildcats meet at 10 p.m. today in Tucson, both are in the top 10 in the national rankings and both are undefeated with 7-0 records. So it's a chance for some early answers.
TOP 5: The best upcoming college games
Arizona coach Sean Miller calls it a game of 40 minutes of concentration. The eighth-ranked Wildcats, who lost 78-72 in overtime last year at Florida, are averaging 15 turnovers a game while the fifth-ranked Gators rank second nationally in scoring defense, allowing just over 48 points a game, and are forcing opponents to turn it over 17 times an outing.
"There are a lot of matchups that are difficult,'' Miller said of Florida. "They are a true team in every sense of the word. Although they have individually talented players at all five positions, to me when you put them all together they are a much better team than even their individual parts indicate.
"That's because they play so well together both offensively and also defensively. They change, they press, they play zone, they play man. But they do all of it well and they do it with great intensity and they force your team to take care of the ball. Turnovers against Florida lead to transition baskets and opportunities and that's really where they thrive.''
UF coach Billy Donovan sees his own challenges.
"I think definitely you always learn something from your team every game you're playing,'' he said. "No different from this one, obviously it's our second true road game, playing against a very, very talented and gifted team. A team that's got tremendous experience on the perimeter and a lot of very, very talented new, young guys. So I definitely think you find out a lot more about your team coming out of a road game, traveling across the country against a very, very good team.''
Donovan doesn't put a whole lot of thought towards rankings -- although this is the highest the Gators have been ranked since his back-to-back national title teams in 2006 and 2007.
"I think it's early right now. And I think because of the margin of victory in some of these games, it's probably we've gained some attention because of that,'' he said of being in the top five in the polls. "I'm not so sure, and I said this after several games, we're that many points better than the teams we've played against. But I think that when you do play Wisconsin, you play Marquette, Florida State, even Middle Tennessee State which was really well thought of coming into the year in terms of being picked to win their league, same thing with Savannah State, and UCF picked to finish second in Conference USA, I think when you see the margin of victory right now, immediately people start to give you attention based on the margin of victory."
"And I'm not so sure that has anything to do with going into this game, against Arizona. So for me right now, the attention is based on everything that we've done in the past, but we're still moving forward as a team. I still think we can get a lot better on both ends of the floor.''
Florida beat all those teams by at least 17 points and ranks third nationally with a scoring margin of plus-25.3 points an outing.
This Arizona club, says Donovan, is a different test than the one the Gators played last season.
"I think the big difference in their team from last year to this year is last year they played very, very small, they were an undersized team,'' he said.
This year's club starts 7-footer Kaleb Tarczewski (6.3 points, 6.7 rebounds) at center and 6-8 Brandon Ashley (9.3, 6.4) at forward, both freshmen. They will be matched up against older Gator players in juniors Patric Young (10.3, 7.9) and Will Yeguete (7.3, 7.4).
Both teams have huge offensive threats in the backcourt. Senior Kenny Boynton (14.4) is 10 points shy of becoming the fifth Gator to score 1,700 points in his career. Nick Johnson (13.6) and Mark Lyons (13.4) for an explosive guard tandem.
"I think our guys understand that Arizona is a terrific team, and I think a much, better team than they were last year and that team came in here and had every opportunity to win the game. We were able to pull away in overtime, but they are much, much better this year than they were a year ago. So I think our guys understand the challenge in front of them going out there,'' Donovan said.
As for the high rankings of both clubs, Donovan said he isn't sure the Gators warrant the top five spot.
"We haven't played enough games to warrant that. You ultimately find out where your ranking is and how well you fare at the end of the season,'' he said. "I've never really been a big believer of all the preseason hype, expectations and rankings. We've played seven basketball games, so for me to sit there and say that we're one of the five best teams in the country, I'm not so sure I agree with that. But I'm not so sure that at the end of the year, we can't be. But right now, to say with seven games that we are, I think I'd be hard pressed to say because we haven't played enough games.''
Forward Erik Murphy, one of four starters averaging double figures at 11.9 points an outing, said it's a good game to see where Florida stands right now but that's it.
"I think we're just trying to take it as another game. Obviously the media is going to blow it up. It's an important game, obviously, with two good teams. It's a test on the road, but we're just going to approach it as another game and try to come out and focus on what coach gives us as a game plan and try to do what he says,'' Murphy said.
As for his own thoughts on the ranking, Murphy said: "I think we're really good, but how good is still unknown.''
While it's not the end of the world if either team loses, guard Scottie Wilbekin said players are excited to face Arizona.
"I think we're excited to prove ourselves again. We just want to prove that we're a legit team, and we deserve to be in the top five,'' he said.

Where Did This Go?I am the stylist at a care facility and have always used this after every perm for my elderly clients many of which have very delicate skin. I recently used my last bottle of shampoo and when I went to purchase more was told this item had been discontinued. OH NO!!! What do I do now? I can't find anything to replace this product. Can you help?Apr 9, 2011JoyceHAIR TYPEGrey / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Great! Little Smell And Immediate Gratification!I have my hairdresser use this every time I get a perm. Have used it around 4 or 5 times thus far and every time it works! I could shampoo the very next day if I wanted but I usually let it air neutralize for a little while longer, like 24 hours after this post-perm shampoo. The biggest advantage is that it cuts over %50 of the residual perm lotion smell out of your hair! So, unless you don't want to be able to shampoo quickly after your perm and get rid of that horrible odor sooner, don't buy it! You may have to talk your stylist into using it however as they sometimes won't warranty their work if they get off the book. Boo Hoo!Oct 15, 2009Tracy / Western Colorado USA

Wonderful!I had it used now for about a year! Wonderful! Gets about 90% of the perm odor on the first try. I still wait a full 24 hours after to shampoo just to make sure the bonds are reformed. Call me silly! But otherwise, I feel this shampoo locks in the perm better than just normal oxidation. Buy it and give it to your stylist. Usually they except the idea with ease and use it. Some may not without you waiving your shop guarantee.May 11, 2009Tracy

Best Product Out There.This product exceeded my expectations. Works better than advertised. Eliminates that nasty perm odor instantly. Stylist works it through my hair and rinses in less than three minutes. Plus, you can wash your hair the next day without losing any curl. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.Nov 6, 2007Rebecca / Princeton, NJHAIR TYPECurly Hair

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Southeastern Utah OHV Club has teamed up with Millsite caretakers to help repair and beautify the park. The club has adopted the park and encourages other local groups to become involved as well. They wish to thank all of the local people who have come forth to help and with donations to keep the grounds at the park green and growing.
A big thank you goes to Live Earth from Emery for donating the fertilizer to put on the lawns and to give everything a boost to get growing. This fertilizer has done a great job to green up the lawns at the park.
Ferron City has been generous with their equipment used to spray the lawns and to Ryan Winn for applying the product. The ATV club is also working on weed control around the park and Clifford Snow has worked to spray the weeds. The club purchased the weed killer for this project. Some of the park's trees have died over the years and the club is looking to restore these dead trees with new trees. If you would like to donate a tree or funds to purchase trees that will be appreciated by the club.
The ATV club believes Millsite State Park is a great asset to the county and a great ATV staging area. From Millsite park you can access the mountains or the desert and also fish and swim. The campground at Millsite is a wonderful place for family reunions and it has clean showers and restrooms. The picnic areas at the park can be used for day use and events. Millsite is also a spot for quick access to a soon to be 18 hole golf course. The ATV club encourages any club or group looking for work projects or service projects to contact Deb at 384-2552. Anyone needing to do community service is also welcome to work at the park.
The club is also looking to replace the current watering system at the park which is expensive to operate. A new watering system is needed to keep the park green and the trees and grass growing. The park's budget has been cut by the state so funds there are limited. What park supporters would like to do is lease water from local farmers and install a pump with a pipeline from the lake to connect to the present system. This would save the park money and help them avoid a high water bill with the city. Any donations for this project would be appreciated.
The Southeastern OHV club is planning a poker ride later this summer to stage out of Millsite State Park.

Chinese reform advocates say entrenched interests, such as the state farm system, hold back the economy, deepen corruption and provoke regular unrest.
FORWARD FARM, CHINA — Muffled from head to foot all summer to combat mosquito swarms, then again to survive Siberian winters, Bai Yuhua and her husband have endured three decades transforming wasteland into fields here at the once barren tip of northeast China.
In recent years, the farmers' efforts paid off as rice and corn prices rose, but the good times attracted ever higher government fees. And last January, officials took away their entire rice harvest. "It was a cold day, 30 degrees below zero, but their hearts were even colder," says Bai, 62, whose right arm was disabled by infant polio. "They have no humanity."
At a once-a-decade leadership transition wraps up this week in Beijing, China's Communist Party is celebrating both the nation's growing strength and the party's continued monopoly on power. Under Hu Jintao's 10-year watch, the economy has soared to second in size behind only the USA, up from sixth largest in 2002.
Yet Hu stalled on reforms. He allowed state-run firms to dominate several industries at the expense of the private sector. Entrenched interests, such as the state farm system that frustrates Bai and other local farmers, hold back the economy, deepen corruption and provoke regular unrest, say analysts such as Mao Yushi, a liberal economist.
Political reform is China's most fundamental problem, he says. "Without it, any changes will be slight and the contradictions will still exist. The party must devolve power, stop dictatorship and develop democracy and rule of law," says Mao.
Even some party scholars have echoed calls for change. In the past decade, problems have outweighed achievements and left the party facing a legitimacy crisis, Deng Yuwen, an editor at the party's Study Times newspaper, argued in a September essay online later deleted.
The state-run Beidahuang Farm Reclamation Group, China's largest agricultural company, owns over 100 farms, including Qianjin (Forward), in Heilongjiang province bordering Russia in the far east.
Today, several residents at Forward Farm resent the government's still tight controls over their operations, and the multiple contractual and administrative fees that they say have spiked far beyond national standards. "The farm is a corrupt interest group that benefits the government, not the ordinary people," says rice farmer Xu Weidong, 41. "We are slaves under the rule of the Chinese government."
His father Xu Dingxi arrived in 1969 when Forward Farm was founded. "We ate bears and heard wolves cry," recalls Xu, 72. His joy at being allowed to farm for himself, when granted some wasteland in 1986, has long since deflated. "It was so tough to reclaim this land, and the government invested no money in it," he says. "Now I feel we worked in vain for 20 years, as they raise fees so sharply."
In the past two years, Bai, Xu Weidong and other local farmers have clashed with local officials and refused to pay some fees after they found documents that appear to show the farm has broken both state and local rules in grossly overcharging farmers since 2006. Bai paid the penalty for such defiance last January when her crops were confiscated.
As prices rise, the nearly 1 million farmers within Heilongjiang's state-run "reclamation region" should be earning healthy profits, but many are exploited by an unfair system, and scrape by on loans, says Li Baihuang, a human rights lawyer. "It's like a modern form of slavery."
If they complain, the farm administrative bureau relies on its state-approved control of local police, prosecutors and judges to confiscate crops and property and sentence farmers to "re-education through labor" camps, he says. "China's laws and regulations are of no use here," says Li, who has taken the case of 10 farmers, trying to recover their land-use certificates from local authorities, to the State Council, China's "Cabinet."
Officials deny farmers' accusations of corruption. "This farm is all state-owned land, so only we have the right to use it, not individual farmers," says Zhu He'an, the Qianjin farm director. "Most farmers are happy. Only a handful of people cause chaos, as they don't pay the administrative fees," which he says follow national standards.
Zhu admits targeting certain farmers as part of a nationwide "stability maintenance" system, a heavy handed approach that some Chinese scholars argue creates more instability. "We have to stop those unreasonable, pesky petitioners, their problems are not real," he says.
Last December, Xu Weidong was detained by police for 10 days after he took their complaints to the petition offices of ministries in Beijing. Last month, officials camped in Bai's home to stop her from reaching the provincial or national capital during the current party congress. "They make me feel like a criminal, but I have committed no crime. Petitioning is legal in China," says Bai, who evaded her minders to meet a foreign reporter.
Official Miao Zhongwen confirmed he and colleagues went to Bai's home in late October, "but only to help the family with their farm work. This family makes trouble for us, and Bai Yuhua disturbs social order," he says. The January removal of her rice harvest was "legal," as Bai failed to pay fees that most farmers accept because the rate is agreed upon at an annual worker representatives' meeting, says Miao.
Not true, counters farmer Tan Jixiang, whom farm officials selected this spring to attend the meeting. "We all raised complaints about fees at an earlier, small meeting, and our leaders said they would tell their leaders, but the issue was never raised at the full meeting, when everything is decided in advance," he says.
Another source of anger is the mandatory purchase, regardless of need, of seeds, fertilizer and pesticides from farm authorities. "I just got charged $1,800 for low-quality seeds that I did not take as I bought my own seeds. It's like buying air and so unreasonable," says Tan, 34, who farms 67 acres of rice fields. "At year's end there is zero profit for my family as the farm takes so much. We'd starve without loans," he says.
Protests about land, which cannot be privately owned in China, form the bulk of unrest nationwide. Beijing extinguishes the flames for now, but widespread abuse of power and neglect of human rights may spark larger conflicts, and political change, within three to five years, predicts liberal economist Mao.
One senior citizen sounds committed to challenging injustice. "I have no culture; I left school when I was 10, but I know what has happened to me was unfair," says Bai Yuhua, who expects the official "bandits" will also take her latest rice crop. "I want justice, and hope China can become a fairer society, one with human rights," she says.

In his three oil paintings of Yarmouth Jetty 1822, 1823 (two of which are in private collections and a third version is in the Tate, London), Constable depicted the beach and the long wooden pier of Yarmouth, with a choppy sea under a cloudy, showery sky. He showed boats out to sea, with sails spread, and a horse and cart beside the beached boat in the foreground. None of the paintings include the two women who appear in the print standing on the beach. The sky Constable used in the Yarmouth paintings was similar to that of Harwich Lighthouse c.1820 , of which he also painted several versions.
Constable received his first proof of this mezzotint in September 1830 or 1831 (Shirley, p. 177, Beckett IV, p. 353). It was not published, however, until the final part of English Landscape in 1832. During the proofing the pier and the boats were worked on, the anchor in the foreground, the women on the beach and four birds were added, the sky was softened and highlights added to the sea. As a result the contrast of light and dark was emphasised.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.6.2
Component/s: Questions
Environment:Internet Explorer on Windows
Affected Branches:MOODLE_16_STABLE
Fixed Branches:MOODLE_16_STABLE, MOODLE_17_STABLE
Multiple instances of the HTML editor cause Internet Explorer to function unreliably: the editor may be displayed with just a tool bar and no text area, or IE may lockup completely. This causes big problems for students taking quizzes with Essay questions, especially if multiple essay questions are loaded in one quiz.
When we originally wrote the essay question at Humboldt State, we did not enable the HTML editor for this reason.
See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=54574 for more information about the problems the HTML editor can cause when used in essay questions.
I would suggest either not displaying the editor in quiz essay questions at all: loading multiple instances of the editor on Firefox can also slow down the page load a good deal, or putting in a browser detection function to hide it when the user is using Internet Explorer on Windows.
Perhaps another option would be a config option in the Quiz module to use or not use the HTML editor in essay questions.

I had opened a simple quiz with 4 essay questions.
The 4 HTML editors function well with no special delays.
I am using Explorer 6 on a 500mHz pentium with 500 megabytes of ram.
http://22.214.171.124/moodle_head_exp/ you could log as teacher if you want
I have created a teacher user:moodle pw :moodle that you could use
Could it be related to your machine capacity or Explorer version?
I will explore on http://126.96.36.199/moodle_head_exp/ either
the option for opening another window with the html on
with a javascript control offering the possibilty to change in the question diplay to have or not the HTML editor for individual question .
I will comment here when they will be available to test (probably tomorrow)
I don't think this is the right approach.
To start with, if I was asking essay questions, I would set the quiz to 1 question per page, to encourage students to concentrate on one thing at a time.
Second, the Moodle already has other ways to control whether the rich text editor is used.
Third, doing browser detection here is just evil.
Forth, people who really care about this can hack their own install.
Tim, I really think not fixing is the wrong approach here.
Why not err on the side of providing the most stable user experience possible, turn off the HTML editor for all essay questions by default, and let the folks who want to use the editor for essay questions hack their installs?
Since the number of institutions who can require their users to use Firefox is likley much smaller than the number of institutions who cannot, turning of the editor where it is known to cause problems seems to me the better design for the most users.
Your points are all entirely valid from an engineering perspective. However, from a user/support perspective:
Many users will be using IE in most institutions, and it will fail intermittantly when multiple instances of the HTML editor are used. We've been trying to debug the IE failing issue here for years at Humboldt State, and we can't find any specific browser settings that cause it, it seems entirely intermittant.
Moodle does enable turning off the editor on a per-user or site-wide basis, however this is hard to explain to users, and results in a drastic fix from a user's perspective (users can't use the editor anywhere or have to remember to turn it off before they start a quiz) when the main problem is localized to modules where multiple copies of the editor are displayed.
Faculty can be told to use on question at a time when using essay questions because the editor may fail, but this results in the technology driving the pedagogy, which I feel is backwards.
It also results in a user's impression that the system is not stable.
I don't now if OU requires Firefox, and the problem with IE is intermittant, but if 90% of the OU's students have intermittant problems entering essay questions, and 10% of them call your help desk, that is going to generate thousands of calls that your support folks will have to deal with, and thousands of students who have problems entering their essay questions.
A first working prototype is available for testing see
There is no hacking necessary and it is working either with Explorer or Firefox.
The default value is HTML editor off.
No changes are necessary in the database in this first version.
The editor change when you submit a question.
PIerre-I tested your new thing early this morning. Strange things happened to the page when I switched and it was not clear what the difference between the four options was.
I agree with Tim, not that you should put only 1 essay question per page necessarily from a pedagogical point of view, but simply that this is something teachers can already control with page breaks.
However, that said, a middle ground might be this. Perhaps rather than give students control over whether to use the editor (if they are confused about enabling the editor sitewide as Michael says they certainly will be confused when they encounter it in the middle of a quiz), put it in the teacher's hands. If the teacher wants to use the editor, let them enable it for the entire quiz or not in the quiz configuration, or if you prefer, in each question's configuration. Add a little help item next to the option explaining the pros and cons of using the editor or not, and let the teachers decide. It's better if you are going to have to explain this at all then it should be the smaller number of faculty who need to be explained to, not the entire student population which is what will need to happeni if you implement Pierre's hack.
Also, Pierre's hack makes the behavior of Moodle inconsistent. Students will wonder why they have this choice in the quiz and not elsewhere in Moodle.
Please note that i was working on it this morning...so the inconsistent behavior was a NORMAL ONE...
When I think that this is a finished product, I will put my solution on moodle docs and if somebody thinks its worth it, he could come back and vote for it.
In the meantime I gain a better knowledge of quiz and attemps.
What will be my final version unless somebody want to use it is available on http://188.8.131.52/moodle_head_exp/
All the code modifications necessary are were done in the files
essay/display.html and
essay/questiontype.php function function print_question_formulation_and_controls().
As far as I understand the new lines of code could be used in 1.6 without modification.
OK, by popular demand, I will do something about this.
The solution I am going to use is to use the rich-text editor for the first essay question on any page, but not for any of the others. That is easy to implement and works, without losing the benefit of the rich text editor in some cases.
I do think that multiple HTML editor can be unreliable because of two lines in lib/weblib.php where the HTML or textarea are defined
line 3593
$str .= '<textarea class="form=textarea" id="edit-'. $name .'" name="'. $name .'" rows="'. $rows .'" cols="'. $cols .'">';
line 3632
echo "$editor = new HTMLArea('edit-$name');\n";
edit-$name as name of the editor can be intrerpreted in javascript as edit minus $name value used.
When the browser interpret the events coming from the HTML it most genrally used the id to locate the object.
If you change edit- to edit_ there wil be no confusion in the browser in interperting the events.
I have made this change and eveything work fine with Explorer, Netscape or Firefox.
This is the only occurence of the string edit- in the moodle code related to questions or HTML editor.
I discovered this problem when I was working on a javascript to analyse the user input when editing calculated question.
If your javascript is getting the textarea using the dom-standard function document.getElementById(), then the - in the id does not matter.
Tim-For those of us who need multiple html editors on a page, could you please tell us how to undo t his change so that it continues to work like it always does?
By the magic of this bug tracker, switch to the 'Verson Control' tab instead of 'Comments'. (The info also appears on the 'All' tab.)
That shows you exactly which files I changed to fix this bug. Because I fixed it in 1.6+ and 1.7dev, each file is listed twice. If you then click on, for example, the '(+6 - 2 lines)' link next to the file 'question/type/essay/questiontype.php', you can see exactly what I changed in that file, and hence you can see how to undo the change.
How cool is that?
about javascript.
I was trying to use the same structure that is used on calculated/editquestion.html
with(document.theform) {
if (formula0.value=='')
else if (''!=defaultunit.value && !isNaN(defaultunit.value)){ alert('<?php print_string("unitmustnotbenumeric","quiz") ?>'); return false; }
else if (isNaN(tolerance0.value)){ alert('<?php print_string("tolerancemustbenumeric","quiz") ?>'); return false; }
else if ('2' == document.theform['correctanswerformat[]'].value
&& '0' == document.theform['correctanswerlength[]'].value) {
alert('<?php print_string("zerosignificantfiguresnotallowed","quiz") ?>');
and in this case having edit-questiontext or edit_questiontext matters.
document.theform.edit_questiontext.value can be tested.
but not document.theform.edit-questiontext.value
So for a better Moodle code...
As I said before, the sandard javascript way to do document.theform.edit-questiontext.value is document.getElementById('edit-questiontext'); Not only is it standard, but it also works. What's to lose by using the syntax I recommend?
I would like to confirm this bug--with this experience. Today, in an end of term exam with 80 students, we included two essay questions on the test. Two months ago we had one essay question with no problem. At the end of the test, students saved their answers and lost all data in the essay questions. We also had another problem when students clicked "save and do not submit" but that's another story. Searching through this bug-issue tracker found this posting which explains what happened. We operate moodle version 1.6.2 running IE Explorer 6 and the HTML editor turned "on" for the site. The multiple HTML editors somehow conflicted and blanked all essay data on saving. From reading these comments, I believe if we had upgraded to version 1.6.3 or greater we would not have had this problem. Normally we only use stable Moodle versions and upgrade twice a year between semesters. This experience teaches us to upgrade more frequently within a stable series of a version. Is this a correct assesment?
Yes, more stable upgrades on stable branches is recommended. Not only to they contain bug fixes. They also contain security fixes.
However, as will all upgrades, take the sensible precautions. Try updating a copy of your live site first and do a bit of checking of the upgraded site before updating the real system. Stable branches should be just that, stable, but there is no point taking unnecessary risks.
Tim wrote: "Yes, more stable upgrades on stable branches is recommended..."
Unfortunately, I assumed version 1.6.2+ was a stable release. Shouldn't we keep the "beta" suffix to our releases a while longer? This is not the first time something catastrophic happened in a supposedly stable release. By catastrophic, I mean total loss of data in the midst of a student end-of-term exam.
Do you remember what happened with the 1.6 release? It was scheduled for realease in January, but did not come out until July because they didn't want to drop the beta suffix until it was ready. So no, just delaying releases indefinitely is not a solution. Especially when you have people trying to plan in advance when to do adopt a new release. We should not really be having this conversation in the tracker. If you want to continue it, please do so in the forums.
Yes, that's right. Let's move the conversation here... http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=67448

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
As the world grows increasingly small and we travel more, we take along our more portable machines. In The List today, we take a look at five great MMOs perfect to play on any laptop. Read on before leaving your choices in the comments.
It's been a year or two now since I opted to buy a gaming laptop to take with me on trips. But not everyone's going to shell out a thousand dollars or more for a laptop that's not as easy to upgrade as a desktop. With so many of us getting set to go on trips for the Holidays, Lord knows we all want to game even when we're traveling. In honor of this desire, today I decided to make The List: The Top Five MMOs for Laptops. By no means is this the end-all, be-all List. In fact, if you have a decent GPU, chances are you'll be able play any MMO you'd normally play on your beefed up rig at home. But for those of you who have a regular Integrated graphics card or an old laptop that you still want to connect to virtual worlds with... this List is for you.
Read more of Bill Murphy's The List: The Best Laptop MMOs.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
There is one laptop, as in you can put it on your lap, that will probably play any MMO.
Originally posted by Kinh021
Aion forgotten
Aion is pretty heavy GPU-wise. My laptop can't handle it.
Great list, EQ2 fits in there easily as well.
MMOs currently playing: -
About to play: Lord of the Rings Online
Played: Anarchy Online (alltime favorite) and lots of f2p titles (honorable mentions: 9Dragons, Martial Heroes, Dekaron, Atlantica Online)
My first thought was "depends on the laptop", and I was sure it will be like a tech forum column
Rockniss said the G75, my sleeper hit was the y510p 6 months ago, right now I'm not sure about the prices... SLI for games, single gt750m if you need more battery time, not as heavy and bulky like the Asus G series (though I like them too), and fairly cheap.
But back to the topic, for an integrated gfx that's a nice list. I'd add CO and STO (Neverwinter too, maybe, but I've never tried it), same with LotRO, not the highres client of course, but it's surprisingly decent with low settings on onboard gfx.
If a bit more recent hardware is allowed, I saw TOR running on HD4000, and probably Vanguard could be on the list as well, just like DCUO. Actually, pretty much every online game older than 3 years could be on the list
(maybe even AoC, I mean I played it on a 9800 back then and while the HD4000 is weaker, on low settings there's a chance for it to run Conan.)
I spent $830 on my Aspire V3-772g-9653 beginning of October. 760m, I7 2.2(3.2turbo) and it'll run anything on the market. No lighted keyboard only drawback.
What you should also consider is how much each games bandwidth takes to play, because I was stuck on a 3g Virgin Mobil U600 usb adapter for 7 weeks. Secret World ran fine, but any ARPG sure didn't cut it at all. And to say fine is being modest, I couldn't really run with others as the latency was an issue.
Odd, my work laptop (admittedly I got a half decent one with separate graphics card- but no way near the upper end of the market) runs any mmo out there. I was playing Rift on ultra a few moments ago.
mmo's are always way behind the hardware (with good reason as it expands the player base & due to development times).
I doubt you can "play" Rift on ultra on a "half-decent laptop". Unless your definition of playing is fundamentally different.
Unless you have a gaming notebook you won't run rift with 30+ fps in cities or any area with more than zero other players present, and especially not in CQs.

Not just making it up. Its a £500 ($800) lap top. I am even playing it on a town wide open wireless- runs as smooth as water.

A decent gaming Laptop isn't that expensive anymore these days.
It's all about tablets, convertibles and ultrabooks these days.
Bulky gaming Laptops are cheap, unless you want to spend tons of Money on overpriced Garbage like Alienware. You can buy the Asus G75/G55 series for less than half with same performance.
The Lenovo Y-series is also good for gaming and fairly cheap (around 700-800 bucks).
Two things...
1 I have no idea what so ever what laptops have to do with a different kind of gaming.My Laptop is more powerful than my PC.MANY people just buy Laptops because they are so convenient.
2 Your not getting any kind of Laptop in Canada for a thousand bucks,maybe one of those 6 inch screen no name ones.
If i was putting a Laptop category together it would be based on TIME because of the battery charge life.My Laptop has a horrible battery duration ,so i can't game more than a couple hours.Even still i am not sure what games i could pick because i play all games for short and long duration,so not like i could make a category for them unless......well maybe we needed to get a heavy sponsor's game in there,so needed to think of some new category lol.I am guessing that i am probably right,seen this before.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Hearthstone is amazing on most laptops, and once it's in open beta, OMGGGG.
Great video Bill, EQ could be a lot of fun on my laptop while travelling!
This totally depends on your laptop
on my alienware top knotch laptop, i can play any MMO out there at full settings in HD.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
When going on a business trip, and I have to take the company laptop I can realistically only play games that don't require an install, and that I can carry around on a separate disk. WoW is great for that, but unfortunately I have never been able to get it to play at an acceptable framerate on a non-gaming laptop.
Path of Exile I see missed your list, but that game plays really well on low end hardware and still manages to look decent doing it. Well at least in the easier difficulties, as you get to harder difficulties, bigger mob packs, with more modifiers you can lag at just the wrong moment. I wouldn't risk playing hardcore on it, but performance is much better than WoW is on the same low end hardware.
This is such a terrible filler post. It's just a list of games. All laptops are completely different, so this doesn't even cover a percentage of ANY of them. The two notebooks I have can run ANY MMO on high settings. ANY. Where as my older one could barely even run WoW due to its graphics card (intel integrated).
So who is this list for? People who own notebooks? People who own slow notebooks? People who own mid-range notebooks?
Replace World of Warcraft with Wakfu, and perhaps take a look at some of the other entries. There's more to being a good laptop MMO than just whether or not it will run on most laptops.
My personal picks, which is basically what comes to mind when I think of "low resource games that are easy to play on the go":

Emery County Progress of 03-24-09 carried a report of Emery County Historical Meeting giving their version of prohibition years in Emery County. I cannot say anything about Arnold Williams and his "stills" in the 1980's as I was not there.
However, I do know a bit of what happened in the late 1920's and early 1930's. My father, Jesse R.Nelson, was elected as Emery County Sheriff in 1926 at the age of 36 and was reported to be the youngest sheriff in the whole United States at that time. He was reelected in 1930 but chose not to run for reelection in 1934. This was a great relief to mother as many attempts were made upon his life before the repeal of the liquor prohibition law in 1933.
There was a great amount of beer being brewed across the entire county and he did what he could to control the problem. When he confiscated beer or whiskey it had to be stored at our home until he got a destroy order from the court.
The real problem was hard liquor distilleries located in the San Rafael Desert that were well hidden and well guarded. He was fortunate to have as his deputy Rod Swasey as he had good knowledge of the desert. The county sheriff of Carbon County, Marion Bliss, was faced with the same problems as in Emery County. There were areas such as Morland-Hiawatha and Price River bottoms where either sheriff might be called. To solve that jurisdictional problem, Bliss and his deputy were deputized to operate in Emery County if needed, likewise dad and his deputy were deputized into the Carbon County Sheriff department.
About 1930 some Chicago gangsters set up a distillery in the Price River Bottoms that reported to be a big operation. The sheriffs and deputies of both counties joined forces and went into the area on horseback. After dismounting they proceeded deeper into the area on foot. Fortunately for my father his deputy Swasey was following a short distance behind dad and could see that one of the gangsters was waiting to get a clear shot at dad. Swasey shot and killed the man. No others were killed in the raid. Back at home, mother was anxiously awaiting a telephone call from dad. It was evening before the call came. Mother took my brother Andrew and I with her and off we went to pick up dad in our old 1929 Ford car. As I recall it was quite a long bumpy ride before we arrived at a log home east of Cleveland. We entered the darkened home lighted by a single kerosene lantern. There were three or more men standing there. We were really glad to see dad and he was glad to see us. He threw his saddle into the back seat of the car and we went home.
There were other incidents where dad's life was on the line. Fortunately for his family he survived it all.

Two words well technically four words that we believe should be never put in the same sentence are Tye-die denim trousers. But apparently Thomas Maier felt the complete opposite when he produced his stylish and quite exuberant spring/summer 2012 Menswear denim line. It was said that Maier creativity, came to him from the 2011 Arab's spring, which explains why the line would consist of such stylish, eye popping pieces. For the Bottega Veneta line, it seems as though an avant garde approach was taken, as oppose to the traditional style most of us are accustomed too. Denim pieces for the line were treated in a variety of fabric treatments incudling washing, creasing, over-printing, over-dyeing, dip-dyeing. We love the crazy over the top approach, but we're also not quite sure how this line will play out in the real world. But in fashion the possibilities are endless, we'll just have to wait and see.
