Love between 2 young boys
Guardian Angel
Created by CeZy
Note: All names and locations, including the story itself, is pure fantasy.
Part 1: Superstar
Kiyan Roberts is an average 13 year old, long black hair, very skinny and quite a fan of the computer world. Sports are what he calls his "weakness" and a very passive boy, avoiding as many conflicts as he possibly can. Although his eyes are meant to computers and video games, he also enjoyed movies, also enjoys a Tv show whose big star is Jake Warsavage, a muscular 14 year old boy with a not very long dark brown hair and black eyes. Kiyan always enjoys watching this boy on Tv, even if there isn't anything interesting going on, Jake Warsavage made it worth watching for Kiyan. The boy knows basically everything about the superstar: Loves italian food, huge fan of wrestling and, according to what many other people say, he's what one can call a "Fan Hater". Jake avoided any kind of contact with fans, specially those very loud and annoying girls who would kill to have his autograph! But Kiyan wasn't a girl... He was a boy, and boys aren't supposed to like other boys... At least, not that way, right?
Kiyan enjoyed watching that boy on Tv everyday and nobody knows about it, not even his dad. Kiyan thought his interest in boys must be due to the fact that he never had a "mother's love". His mother had passed away when he was born. His dad works in the Blue Ocean Hotel, a very beautiful building, indeed, with a great view to the ocean on almost every apartment. Kiyan would visit his dad at the hotel almost everyday, after school or after lunch, to visit him. Sometimes he has dinner at the hotel with his dad. The hotel offers free dinners to workers once in a while, how nice of them, huh?
Part 2: Blue Ocean
Summer break just begun, and Kiyan would have the whole summer to lock himself in his room with his computer for the rest of summer without having to go to school in the meantime, that's what Kiyan thinks about summer. In a lovely Friday afternoon, Kiyan goes to the Blue Ocean Hotel and visit his dear father. On his way to the counter, where his dad was at the moment, he looked to his right and saw a beautiful boy entering the elevator, when the boy turned around and waited for the elevator to go up, Kiyan couldn't believe what his eyes saw and then he ran to his dad:
"Dad, are there any special guests stayin' here?"
"Hum... No son, why do you ask that?"
"Huh, nothin'. Just curious... Then, who was that boy entering the elevator just now?"
"All right, we have a special guest stayin' here. Why are you so curious Kiyan?"
"Huh... Well... That's me, I guess!"
Kiyan's suspictions were right. The boy he saw on the elevator was Jake Warsavage! Kiyan couldn't believe it! His favourite young actor, stayin' in his dad's hotel! How lucky can ya get!?
"Kiyan, I'd appreciate if you don't cause any trouble today. You know how lucky we are for having special guests like these around just for a day."
"I know dad! I won't cause any trouble, promise! So... Can I talk my regular walk around the place?"
"Go ahead. But remember, no trouble!"
"I got it, dad!"
Kiyan took his regular walk around the hotel, he knows every corner of the place like his own room. He knows what most of the apartments look like, specially the penthouse, on the last floor. While he took his regular walk, he went for a walk in the basement. One of the workers is a really nice guy and gives Kiyan a candy for stopping by, what nice people we have around! While Kiyan was turning in a corner, he bumped against someone a bit taller than him. Kiyan fell to the floor and took a few seconds for him to realize what happened. Then, he heard a voice next to him:
"Watch where you're going, will ya!?"
"B-Back at ya! I'm the one who fell here! Ya know what, you could have apolog....!"
Before Kiyan could finish his sentence, he looked at the one he bumped against and it was Jake Warsavage! "Oh my God!!" screamed Kiyan in his mind as he looked at a beautiful boy waring a white muscle shirt and black jeans:
"What? Never seen a guy before?!" said Jake with an angrier voice.
"I-I'm s-sorry! I-It was an accident! I'll leave you alone." Screamed Kiyan while trying to stand up and walk away before he cause any more problems.
"Hey! Don't turn your back on me like that! Can't you see I'm talking to you!?" shouted Jake even more angrier.
"Why do you even wanna talk to me?" Kiyan asked with a very shy and scared tone, afraid of causing even more trouble.
"Why are you treating me like that? When you fell, you were about to explode and now you're acting like nothing happened!"
"I-I... Huh..."
"You were sayin' something back there. Mind finishing that sentence?"
"N-Never mind that. Forget about it, please."
"I'm sorry."
"W-wha...??" Now Kiyan was really confused!
"I'm sorry I bumped against you and yelled at you. My fault."
"N-No, it w-was...!"
"It was my fault. You fell, I didn't help. I'm sorry. You ok now?"
Kiyan's body was totally paralyzed. His favourite actor was standing right in front of him... Apologising to him! Kiyan also seemed to have lost his voice, because he didn't even dare to say another word, nor did he dare to look at Jake directly in the eyes, which was his way to show respect to dad's "special guests".
"Hey, did you hear me? I asked if you're ok?"
Again, no answer from Kiyan, his entire body was frozen solid. Kiyan didn't even dare to make a move or let out a whisper.
"'Kay... What's your name? You must have a name right?"
"Kiyan!" shouted a voice behind Jake.
"How you doin', kiddo? Glad you came to visit me." It was Mr. John, the worker that gave Kiyan candies for visiting him once in a while.
"And who's your friend?" Mr. John asked.
"Name's Jake." Answered the young star.
"Nice to meet you, Jake. You one of Kiyan's friends? Now that I think about it, I never saw you with a friend, Kiyan."
Kiyan didn't say anything.
"So Kiyan's your name... I just met him here, sir."
"Oh, I see... About time you hang out with someone your own age, kiddo. Well, here's some candy for you two. I gotta go clean this place up. See you later, boys."
Mr. John left, leaving Kiyan with Jake.
"So Kiyan's your name, huh? Nice name, heh..." said Jake with a teasing laugh, but not meant to offend. Kiyan's face turned red.
"I like your name. Sounds cool." Said Jake, and Kiyan gave him a smile, which he tried to hide right away.
"What're you smiling at?"
"Ah! He talks!" Said Jake with his teasing tone, and then asking, with his anger totally gone:
"Hey, how about we go to my room upstairs and have some fun?"
Kiyan didn't answer, but he didn't reject Jake grabbing his right arm and push him to the elevator. They went a few floors up, and then, walked for a couple of minutes, and reached Jake's room. Jake opened the door.
"Come on in. Don't worry, I don't bite." Said Jake with his teasing smile, but also innocent. Kiyan didn't dare to move, as always, but Jake grabbed his arm again, and gently pushed him into the room. Jake closed the door.
"Welcome to my new home. In case you don't know, I'll be spending the summer here. Mom and dad thought I would be better off if I spend the summer here away from the Hollywood life."
Kiyan sat on the edge of a twin-sized bed, while Jake went to the bathroom, with the door opened, he shouted so Kiyan could hear him:
"Look on the bright side: I won't have any of those screaming girls like, every hour of the day!"
Jake came out of the bathroom with his hair was wet. He sat next to Kiyan on the bed and looked at him for a minute.
"Are you ok, Kiyan?"
Kiyan didn't answer, he seemed frozen solid and his voice was still gone.
"Do you... like boys?"
Kiyan was shocked! He didn't see that one coming, and his face turned red, and he started rubbing his hands on each other.
"I like boys. They're far more fun and interesting than girls. Girls just scream and yell for no reason all the time. What about you?
Kiyan still didn't answer. Jake put his right hand on Kiyan's left cheek and gently pushed his face, so he would look at his right, where Jake was sitting.
"Look at me, Kiyan." Said Jake with a more serious voice. Kiyan refused to look at Jake in the eyes, he feels he'll do something to Jake he'll regret later if he looks at him in the eyes.
"Please, Kiyan." Still no response from the boy, so Jake took an extreme measure. Jake kissed Kiyan on the lips.
Kiyan didn't kiss him back, but didn't push him away either. After Jake released the kiss, Kiyan was looking at him in the eyes. Kiyan felt his entire body shivering. Jake moved his hand from his cheek to his hair and started playing with it.
"Talk to me, buddy. Please." Said Jake, with a more calm tone.
"... I do." Answered Kiyan. Playing with his hair must have done it. Or maybe it was the kiss. Jake took off his muscle shirt. Kiyan didn't take his eyes off his chest. Jake's body was muscular, the boy's attention was centered on his breasts, which excited Kiyan completely. Jake played with his hair again.
"Take off your shirt, let's have some fun together." Kiyan placed his hand on Jake's chestand he slowly looked up, to Jake's eyes.
"If you want me to stop and not go any further, just tell me, ok?" Jake slowly got closer to Kiyan and joined his lips with Kiyan's again. This time, Kiyan was kissing him back slowly, at his own pace. Jake figured he has no idea what was going on. Jake took off his black jeans and was now wearing his tight underwear, he gently pushed Kiyan on his back on the bed, and rested his right hand on Kiyan's face.
"I'll assume you're ok with this, tell me to stop if you don't want this, ok buddy?"
Jake slowly went to his knees in front of the bed and slowly unzipped Kiyan's pants. Before he could push his pants down, Kiyan grabbed his hands:
"Ok, I'll stop buddy. I don't wanna hurt you." Answered Jake.
"N-no... L-Let me d-do it."

Baked kibbeh
Delicious traditional Lebanese baked kibbeh recipe.
Preparation Time 40 minutes
Cooking Time 35 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
120g (2/3 cup) Naytura Cracked Wheat
400g lamb mince
1 brown onion, coarsely grated
2 tbs chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp ground allspice
2 tsp toasted pine nuts
1/4 tsp sumac
Olive oil, to grease
Natural yoghurt, to serve
Lebanese bread, to serve
Lemon wedges, to serve
Cucumber salad
4 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled, quartered lengthways, coarsely chopped
4 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh continental parsley leaves
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1. Place cracked wheat in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Set aside for 15 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve, pressing to remove excess moisture.
2. Place 350g mince and half the onion in a large bowl. Add the cracked wheat, mint and half the allspice, and season with salt and pepper. Use wet hands to mix until well combined.
3. Cook remaining mince in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any lumps, for 2 minutes or until mince changes colour. Add the remaining onion and cook for 2 minutes or until the mince is cooked and the onion is soft. Stir in the pine nuts, sumac and the remaining allspice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool completely.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C. Brush a baking tray with oil to grease. Divide the cracked wheat mixture into 16 even portions. Roll 1 portion into a ball. Holding the ball in the palm of your hand, press your index finger into the centre of the ball to make a cup shape. Place 1 teaspoon of the pine nut mixture in the cavity. Bring the edges together to seal, then roll into a slightly elongated egg shape. Repeat, in 15 more batches, with the remaining cracked wheat mixture and pine nut mixture.
5. Place the kibbeh on the prepared tray. Bake in oven, turning halfway through cooking and brushing occasionally with juices, for 30 minutes or until cooked.
6. Meanwhile, to make the cucumber salad, combine the cucumber, tomato, onion and parsley in a bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, oil and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon dressing to the cucumber mixture and toss to combine.
7. Serve the kibbeh balls with cucumber salad, yoghurt, bread and lemon wedges.
Notes & tips
You can also serve these kibbeh balls as part of a mezze meal, which is a favourite in Lebanon. This "grazing" meal consists of a series of small dishes that are set out for guests to nibble on. Simply halve the size of the kibbeh and reduce the cooking time to 15 minutes. Serve with hummus, baba ghanoush, labne and Lebanese bread for a magnificent meal.
Freezing tip Cool at the end of step 5. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place kibbeh on a baking tray in oven until heated through.

Stone brews one with reclaimed water
"Toilet to draft" would have been a tasteless headline
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., March 23
The largest concert company in the U.S. (Clear Channel) will not buy the second largest (House of Blues) because of what is happening in San Diego, according to House of Blues CEO Greg Trojan. He said the soon-to-open San Diego House of Blues nightclub, which will operate alongside the larger HoB concert venues (which include Coors Amphitheater, Cox Arena, Open Air Amphitheater), will create new "synergies" between nightclubs and larger concert venues.
"We're going to open in [downtown] San Diego in May with a great amphitheater, a great history in the market...and we're going to add a club to that."
HoB Concerts said in December it would be for sale if the right offer came along. (The company did not have a good 2004.) Clear Channel's bid of $90 million was the highest, but HoB last week said it wasn't enough and passed.
In the first quarter of this year, House of Blues Concerts sold 960,000 concert tickets in the U.S.; Clear Channel sold over 3 million. Clear Channel Entertainment dominates the radio and concert businesses in most U.S. cities. San Diego is one of the few where HoB Concerts dominates. House of Blues made it clear that it was never considering selling its chain of nightclubs, only its concert division.

Hello Deb,
I discovered today a gorgeous taupe and gold infinity scarf at Ann Taylor Loft–$34.
When worn just right, it distracts from my tummy that has become an issue in the last two years and pulls attention to my face. Love it! What do you think?
Thanks, Michelle!
Hi Michelle,
Yes, your infinity scarf is a fun trend that many women are picking up on.
You have great arms, don't have a tummy, and you look fantastic!!! The color looks nice on you, too.
A couple of notes: You say you want to distract from your tummy, but wearing the scarf so long actually puts the emphasis on your tummy and hides your nice waist.
The better way to wear any long scarf is to pull the scarf up higher by your face. (see examples below)
Also, an infinity scarf or any large scarf , can look a little over powering with a sleeveless top. You might like it better if you pair it with a:
- leather jacket and boots
- long sweater or top
- 3/4 length or long-sleeved dress
Thanks for sending your photo.

On April 10, 2013, CMS and the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) each published proposed rules to extend the sunset dates for the Stark exception and anti-kickback statute safe harbor permitting donations of EHR software and certain related items and services to physicians. These provisions are set to expire on December 31, 2013; however, CMS's and OIG's proposals would extend the provisions to cover donations made until December 31, 2016 or, depending on commenter feedback, as late as December 31, 2021.
The proposed rules also include other potential modifications to the existing exception/safe harbor. Under the existing provisions, the donated EHR software must have received certification as "interoperable" within twelve months prior to the donation. The proposals will now consider EHR software interoperable if it has received EHR certification pursuant to the then-current definition of "certified EHR technology" as established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC). ONC's standards and certification rules are not updated annually, so some donated EHR technology may not have complied with the prior exception/safe harbor if the technology was certified more than twelve months prior to donation.
In addition, CMS and OIG propose to eliminate the requirements in the exception/safe harbor that donated EHR software must include e-prescribing capability. All EHR systems certified pursuant to ONC's standards and certification rules must satisfy e-prescribing requirements, rendering the requirement redundant in the exception/safe harbor.
The proposed rules also seek comment on whether to limit the definition of "protected donors" to only hospitals, group practices, prescription drug plan sponsors and Medicare Advantage plans, or, alternatively, to specifically exclude from the definition of protected donors durable medical equipment suppliers, clinical laboratories, and home health agencies. CMS and OIG also are seeking comment on whether to expand the definition of the "covered technology" that may be donated, and whether to add provisions limiting the requirements on data exchange that donors may impose on recipients.
The agencies are seeking comment from stakeholders by June 10, 2013. CMS's proposed rule is available here, and OIG's proposed rule is available here.

They might be leasing the car but arent they under a company. Kinda like the muslims that work for target th at wont ring up people buying pork. The company sells it you need to ring it up. How can the parent cab company let this happen? |

We all have rights to our "private" belief system. In our public businesses we have a right not to deal with idiots, but we have to be careful how we classify any person. How do they know alcohol is being transported? |

I will tell them at work that cleaning up after myself is against my religion. I can see how long I have a job after that.
Like said about the cabbies, if you don't know how to do your job right, quit. Its not like the passenger is asking you to drive a getaway car after a bank robbery. Its bad enough for the passengers that they don't use deodorant a good portion of the time and aren't the most pleasant-smelling individuals. I guess I don't understand why they are here IF its religious freedom they are seeking. It would be much more acceptable in the Middle East. Or Dearborn. What angers me is it seems like all we do is keep taking this BS. At what point will we have had enough? I think it will be too late then. I really don't think these problems are going to just go away. |

Its possession/transportation what he means I would think. Not a purchasing one. I guess they could argue the same thing about maybe someone having a perscription for say vicodin or some other drug that you can't just go buy. It would be illegal for the driver to possess it but not the passenger since its their drug. It is more than likely nott their cab. Its the cab company's. It becomes a legal possession issue at that point.

There was a very interesting thread about a former politician from CO. He had an address and it stated to a degree what he is saying. When people would come to America, they would keep some of their ways/traditions but still be able to interact. I know my great-grandfather from Sweden didn't make a big deal about things that he didn't like and he was a preacher.

Kitten I'm gonna eat you!
I agree with you, people should keep some degree of their heritage when they move to a new country. I just think its funny that using the term melting pot and then saying someone should cast away their rituals, heritage, identity to conform to this predetermined one sounds like a good idea.
A melting pot is just that, a melting pot. in a melting pot you can't melt tin and copper and get pure copper back out, you get brass. So what makes people think that with an influx of new people you can succesfully keep yourself segregated from them and continue on with your happy little life. you can't, deal with it. Up until now the somalis and the other Arabs have lived in relative harmony with the rest of the twin cities. While I was out there for my internship, I felt more safe being a white kid walking through a somali neighborhood than I did walking through a black one, and yet they're considered terrorists religion. I'm not sympathizer of theirs to the point that I condone what they are doing in all aspects, but like muddypaws said everyone has their limits. If they don't want to deal with alcohol or pork products, then maybe someone should step up who will. Wait, I forgot, that would be beneath most white people to do trivial labor. In the end, I think Jesus said it best "I am an engineer and I hate you all", as a soon to be engineer I agree with him wholeheartedly. I hate you all. |

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream. Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America . The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States . He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'" "Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country." History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: "The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy." Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans.". Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America , "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds. Third, "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: "The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together. "Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities." "Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school." "My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population." "My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common Language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum" --From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as surely as Kosovo." "Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits; make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them." In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis 's book "Mexifornia." His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America . If you feel America . deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book." There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California and other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength." Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path especially The American Dream. |

Companies make choices like this all the time. They choose to not hire smokers, they choose to not service some areas, they choose to not service some makes of vehicles, they choose to not deal with other companies based on that companies other holdings. If a cab company doesn't want to transport alcohol, then it doesn't have to. They don't even have to say it's because of religion. They could say "we don't transport nutter butter bars" and you can't make them do it. I build high dollar performance engines in my spare time and in the summer. I only build U.S. v6's v8's and v12's. I don't do Jap 4 cylinders...and you can't make me do it. It's my company and as long as I am not in violation of the civil liberties act or the disability act then I can choose who or what I want to work with. |

Social Security is a successful intergenerational program that has served this country well. Yet some groups want to "privatize" Social Security by taking payroll tax money that now goes into the Social Security trust funds and investing it instead in private investment accounts.
Under Social Security, people earn the right to participate by working and contributing. The program was never intended to be an investment program. With broader policy goals than private retirement plans, its intent is to provide guaranteed income to seniors, disabled citizens, survivors, and their families. Privatization would severely undermine this system.
The arguments for privatization can seem persuasive at first, but they are all hollow and easily disproved. Following are five simple rebuttals to many common and misleading claims being spread by the privatization movement. When you hear any of the pro-privatization claims, refer to the facts provided here.
When They Say , "Privatization Will Fix Social Security for Future Generations," The TRUTH is...
Privatization is not a plan to save Social Security; it is a plan to dismantle Social Security. Privatization means increased retirement risks, severe cuts in Social Security benefits, and a multi-trillion dollar increase in the federal debt.
Privatization diverts money out of Social Security into individual accounts leaving an even larger solvency problem. Privatizers fill this funding gap by dramatically cutting Social Security benefits. They cover the rest by borrowing money, thereby increasing the debt burden on all taxpayers by trillions of dollars over the next half century. With market-based accounts, the risk of an adequate retirement is placed entirely on the individual.
When They Say, "Social Security will soon go bankrupt," The TRUTH is...
If Congress does nothing - makes no changes or "reforms" - Social Security is projected to deliver full guaranteed benefits until at least 2037. Even after 2037, again without any changes, the trust funds will continue to pay 76 percent of benefits for years after that.
It's true, the aging baby boom generation will strain Social Security in the future. However, if Congress enacts modest changes, Social Security should be able to meet 100% of its benefit obligations for many decades to come.
When They Say, "Workers could get a better return by investing in the Stock Market," The TRUTH is...
Right now, Social Security provides a guaranteed income, paying benefits every month for life, with increases for inflation. After adjusting for risk, Social Security has a rate of return equal to that of any mix of financial assets in private accounts.
And risk must be taken into account, because stock market returns are never guaranteed! As we've seen in recent years, returns can fluctuate wildly. One need only be reminded that between 2001 and 2003, the NASDAQ lost 75% of its value. And the market took a major downturn again in 2008. Nest eggs can disappear in an instant - and take months, if not years, to rebuild.
With privatization, some might do well, many might lose - but our society would lose the benefit of the sound, basic income security provided by Social Security retirement, disability and survivor benefits.
When They Say, "Social Security is unfair because tomorrow's workers will have to support the Baby Boomers' retirement," The TRUTH is...
In fact, the Boomers have helped pre-fund part of their benefits by building a huge surplus that should keep Social Security alive and well for many years. With privatization, however, workers would end up in a double bind - paying taxes to support the Boomers' retirement plus investing money in their own individual accounts, in hopes of building retirement funds for themselves.
To make matters even worse, today's workers would have to bear the transition costs of switching to privatization, estimated at nearly $5 trillion over just the first twenty years- a cost that would fall on today's young people.
When They Say, "Privatization gets rid of the inefficiency of big government," The TRUTH is...
Administrative costs for Social Security are very low - less than 1% of the program's budget. Diverting money to the stock market would incur the very high costs of brokers' commissions, mutual fund management fees, and other expenses inherent in buying and selling stocks and bonds.
Small investment accounts are very expensive to administer. Commissions and fees could easily burn up as much as 15 cents out of every dollar of a worker's annual investment as they do in some countries with privatized systems.
Wall Street brokers and fund managers would stand to make billions of dollars a year thanks to privatization, so it's no surprise that they strongly support the privatization movement!
Conclusion: Privatization is NOT the Answer!
Unfortunately, exaggerated media coverage regarding Social Security's finances has contributed to the illusion that Social Security is in immediate trouble. And the pro-privatization movement has spent millions of dollars promoting that illusion.
That's why the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare is spreading the truth, through education material like the booklet you're reading right now. And that's why NCPSSM remains committed to blocking any effort to privatize Social Security.
By using these facts, you can help the truth - and Social Security - win! Thank you for supporting Social Security for the benefit of every generation of Americans!

Ryan's Revised Healthcare Bill Even Worse Than the Original
Let us not speak of pigs and lipstick, but simply say that the freshly tweaked GOP health care bill introduced last night still socks it to older Americans. In an attempt to throw bones to both moderate Republicans and Tea Partiers, Speaker Paul Ryan has come up with a revised bill that's even worse than the original for seniors and "near seniors" (under 64 years of age).

@Marey - Ha, that's true. That's an old school problem. Maybe that part was taken out to add "No texting at the table" which is new-school. :)

text: REACH came together, crossing many state lines from AL to NJ, with a strong commitment to quality of work, the creation of a unique sound and the ambition to satisfy a wide variety of rock fans looking for something more in their music. The band was born out of the ashes of Boy Meets Machine, originally formed in Atlanta, Georgia, circa 2008. After making a stamp in the Atlanta music scene, and enduring several lineup changes, members Joel Monet (lead singer and bass guitarist) headed back to his home state of Alabama to regroup. Monet, began musically collaborating with lead guitarist Christian Colabelli over the internet in 2009, after the two were put in contact by a mutual friend. They wrote over two albums worth of material and quickly realized they had something special. Joel ultimately decided to relocate to Christian's home state of New Jersey in order to take another crack at making the band happen. The duo added drummer, Joe Nivare to the mix and started played regional shows. The group finally was made complete with the addition of current rhythm guitarist, Steve Swain and REACH was formed. For the first time ever, the band exists as one big happy family!

'Glee' and Adam Lambert hit high notes at GLAAD Awards
Following up on its recent victories at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards, Fox TV mega-hit "Glee" won best comedy series at the GLAAD Awards, bestowed at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel.
Accepting the prize, "Glee" series writer and co-creator Ryan Murphy hailed cast member Chris Colfer, who portrays gay character Kurt Hummel: "We have so much love for our own Chris Colfer, who at age 19 when the media came calling, Chris was true to who he is instead of waiting to announce (he's gay) at 40 when it doesn't matter ... Chris' character will never be the victim. (Next year he) will have a boyfriend, and they are going to be prom kings and be popular."
Constance McMillen, the Mississippi high school student barred from attending her prom because she's a lesbian, was greeted by a standing ovation when she appeared to bestow an honorary award upon comic Wanda Sykes. Accepting the kudo, Sykes said, "I want to thank the Fox network or allowing me to do the show I'm doing. It's like Rupert Murdoch buying back all the hate — like I'm saving him from going to hell."
Tom Ford's "A Single Man" won best film, which was accepted by partner Richard Buckley, who noted that Ford couldn't attend due to the flights grounded by Iceland's volcano.
Other winners included "RuPaul's Drag Race" being voted best reality TV series. Additional awards, such as best drama series ("Brothers & Sisters"), were bestowed in New York City last month.See the full list here.
Highlights of the L.A. ceremony included Adam Lambert performing two songs. Prior to the ceremony he dished with Access Hollywood about the recent news that Ricky Martin's come out of the closet: "It's great to see people like Ricky feeling liberated to come out and come forward, and hopefully it will open the door wide open for more and more people to be comfortable with who they are."

From the LA Times, Opinion Page, Page B21 - November 6,
2004 VOICES / A FORUM FOR COMMUNITY ISSUES 1,000 Is Just a Number, Till You See the Crosses By Richard B. Anderson, Richard B. Anderson is a writer in Santa Barbara. Every Sunday, the veterans come together to build "Arlington West" - this one on the beach by the pier in Santa Barbara. There have been others, in Santa Monica, for instance. The veterans place a cross in the sand for every GI who's been killed in Iraq. Laid out with military precision, the memorial is visually striking, a stark message left on the doorstep of an otherwise picture- perfect reality. And each weekend the memorial is larger than the week before. Since its inception, a little less than a year ago, the number of crosses has more than tripled. It's a powerful reminder of the cost of war and of those we've lost. The crosses themselves are well made. Twenty-four inches tall, 12 inches across, they're made of Douglas fir, painted white. And they're not blank. Each one is labeled with the name of a casualty, his or her place of birth, and where and often how he or she died. Sometimes there are wishes and remembrances from the family. They're personalized. That's what makes them so overwhelming. My first encounter with Arlington West will remain in my memory for a long time to come. Santa Barbara is a beautiful place; the mountains and the sea come together here, with the pleasant town and quiet harbor nestled between - hardly the place you'd expect to encounter the ultimate reality. The incongruity is emotionally wrenching. Walking out into the memorial for the first time, I found myself overwhelmed with grief. One thousand casualties is just a number. One thousand crosses, with names and dates, will drive you to your knees like a sledgehammer. I helped take down the memorial that day, at least partly to distract myself from that feeling of being overwhelmed. It's a huge task, and there's definitely a craft to it. A veteran showed me how to arrange the crosses, how to stack them in bundles of 16, how to tie them with cords left in the sand. I helped carry the bundles to the road, one in each hand. Those bundles are heavy, and they felt like an awkward burden - until I reminded myself of what I was carrying. I watched the bundles stacked in the van, the way soldiers are packed into Humvees and Bradleys, pragmatically and without artfulness, but not without grace. In the United States, we don't have much contact with mortality, up close and personal. Death happens elsewhere, is dealt with elsewhere. It's strange and upsetting to find it next to the sidewalk. A graveyard is usually a place that you leave the dead to lie, to separate yourselves from them. But here, there is no separation. Every week the soldiers are laid to rest, and every week they're gathered up again. Those who pass by react with sorrow, grief and often anger. For those involved in it, the ritual loses its original starkness, but it never becomes routine. Our soldiers' deaths in Iraq used to be reported on the front page, above the fold. But the war has been going on so long that casualties are no longer front-page news; they're reported in the text of some other story, if indeed they're reported at all. Their coffins are unloaded in the dead of night; their memorial is not yet built. The public has moved on. But here in Santa Barbara, the veterans don't forget. They spend their weekends, without recompense, performing this serious and simple ritual. In a space usually populated by sunbathers, they create a memorial as powerful in its way as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. They give a presence to the dead, and the dead themselves inform us with this message: This is the cost of what we do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- |

The research of Victor M. Montori, M.D., takes place in the Knowledge and Evaluation Research Unit at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Montori is interested in how knowledge is produced, disseminated and taken up in practice — and how this leads to optimal health care delivery and patient outcomes.
Dr. Montori also serves as director of community engagement and of late stage translational research for the Mayo Clinic Center for Clinical and Translational Science.
Patients with chronic conditions are often exposed to poorly coordinated health care that pursues goals that may differ from those of the patient. As a result, their care is complex and often overwhelming, with lower quality outcomes than expected.
Shared decision-making enables patients and clinicians to share the best available research evidence and make decisions that better reflect the patient's values and preferences. Minimally disruptive medicine focuses on pursuing the patient's goals (preventing premature death, feeling better, and living without hindrance from complications of disease or treatment) while reducing the treatment burden.
Together, these approaches offer hope of patient-centered care to the most vulnerable (and expensive) patients and help better translate research evidence into practice.

Terrorist groups? Which anarchists groups in America are deemed terrorist? My search so far has been fruitless.
- Agreed. And this seems to suggest that there are no offical anarchist terrorist groups, but that they are sometimes watched by the FBI. HelpJazz 17:21, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
As i attempted to make issue of before, but has apparently been wiped from this talk page, the introductory paragraph is biased, and inappropriately specific references to unsubstantiated, uncited presumptions, i.e. "Anarchists tend to support unrestricted access to drugs, alcohol, pornography, and gambling. Anarchists also tend to support unrestricted abortion, assisted suicide, and prostitution." If anybody can find conclusive evidence that these positions are peculiar to anarchists, then by all means, cite it, and we'll let the issue rest. However, i am quite doubtful there exists such proof. To be frank, the introductory paragraph represents an ad vericundiam attack on the character of anarchists, as opposed to the kind of objective description becoming an encyclopedia. Thus, i am taking the liberty of striking the above sentences from the article. i would challenge whomever has been reversing my prior edits to this page to present a factual basis for his/her doing so... JBrandonLoberg 14:20, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
I think that prostitution is something that anarchists would oppose. It is exploitive and it involves the women being taken advantage of. But this could differ from one anarcho-ideology to another. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trystan (talk)
- Perhaps the article would be helped by a description of the different types of anarchists. It seems reasonable that different types of anarchists would have differing opinions on prostitution (for example), but all would be against a law prohibiting prostitution, since a law requires a government.

Medical Definition of X chromosome
X chromosome: The sex chromosome that is found twice in normal females and singly, along with a Y chromosome, in normal males. The complete chromosome complement consists of 46 chromosomes, including the 2 sex chromosomes, and is thus conventionally written as 46,XX for chromosomally normal females and 46,XY for chromosomally normal males.

Cardinal presides over grotesque Mass in Vienna
Reactions |
Unspeakable, grotesque and decadent scenes in once Catholic Austria. God forbid that the Cardinal ever becomes Pope as one could wave goodbye to all the liturgical progress in the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI, now gloriously reigning.
Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us!
Veritable fireworks display of scandals in the Archdiocese of Vienna. The Cardinal seems clearly to like to inflict pain on the souls of faithful Catholics- he in contrast seems to have been enjoying himself.
Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us!

Household Portfolios in Germany
This paper describes portfolio choices of German households in the 1980's and 1990's. We present stylized facts and analyze recent trends of asset ownership rates and asset shares on the basis of national accounts and survey data. We correlate socio-demographic household characteristics with asset shares and ownership, and analyze how German households have adjusted their asset portfolios in response to the policy changes during this time. A particular focus is on the effects of German reunification and the portfolio adjustments of East German households during the transition process.

Our just completed exploration of Northern California's Volcanoes was a fascinating journey through the interior and exterior of several volcanoes. How do you explore the innards of a volcano? On the one hand, you can do a Brendan Fraser and fall thousands of feet or miles into a volcano ("Journey to the Center of the Earth", a movie I appreciated mostly for the living trilobite in the opening scene). Or...you can wait for the volcano to go extinct, be uplifted and eroded for millions of years, and then be established as Castle Crags State Park, and go stand at the viewpoint at the end of the park road. We chose the latter.
The Castle Crags are an especially scenic part of the Klamath Mountains province, a region tucked between the Coast Ranges and the Cascades at the north end of the Great Valley (I've written about them previously, click here to see). Most of the Klamaths are composed of dark colored metamorphic rocks, many of them derived from the mantle, but at Castle Crags the rocks are different. The light colored cliffs are composed of granitic rock (mainly granodiorite, a plutonic rock containing lots of plagioclase feldspar), dating back to around 160 million years ago. The granodiorite was once molten, feeding volcanoes that would have existed several miles above where we were standing. Some of the magma remained in crust, cooling slowly and allowing for the growth of visible crystals. Standing among the granitic towers of Castle Crags is to be standing in the interior of a volcano.
The dramatic spires are the result of exposure at the Earth's surface, and the resulting release of pressure (remember that these rocks formed at a depth of three or four miles in the crust). As the pressure is released, the rock expands and fractures, sometimes in vertical cracks called joints. The joints are exploited by water and ice, leading to the erosion of the steep sharp cliffs.
Sometimes the expansion of the granitic rock is outwards, parallel to the surface of the cliff. This causes fractures that act to remove corners and edges, resulting in dome-like cliffs, much like those found in Yosemite and elsewhere in the Sierra Nevada. This process is called exfoliation.
Even as we stood at the viewpoint appreciating the underside of a volcano, we could turn to our right and see a rather astounding view of the outside of a volcano. A very big volcano. Mt. Shasta is the second tallest peak in the Cascades Range, exceeded only by Mt. Rainier, but it is the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascades, and perhaps even the world.
At 14,179 feet, it dominates the scenery from all directions in Northern California. A stratovolcano is composed of alternating layers of ash and lava, but the details of Shasta's structure contradict that description. It is actually the remnant of at least five different volcanoes which developed on more or less the same site. The term "composite cone" is perhaps a more accurate moniker.
Shasta was our next stop of the day. At over 14,000 feet, no roads approach the summit, but in years past a ski area had been constructed at the 8,000 foot level on the south side of the peak. The ski resort was removed long ago because of avalanche danger (a wide swath of fallen trees highlights the hazard), but the paved road remains.
We took the highway out of Mt. Shasta City and headed up the mountain...

Alter Ego: Clarke Kent (Kryptonian name: Kal-L)
Abilities: He's Superman.
Team Player. Extroverted. Idealistic. Broad-minded.
Superman; Arguably the greatest superhero in history. His very name was the first of the "super" prefixed words that created the heroic vernacular used today. Superman's seeming limitless power has enabled him to do practically everything from turning back time to altering the course of planets. As such, Superman is perpetually exercising restraint over his abilities - he never loses a battle due to lack of strength, only because he can't immediately think of a solution that doesn't include obliterating everyone and everything around him. It is this composure and conscience that makes him the figurehead of superheroism.

Sung Of Sam
INT: A modern suburban home. Two kids are at their computer, sighing. It's so boring! So two-dimensional! Outside, their father is walking toward the door, carrying a Samsung 3D Blu-ray Player. He's smiling with excitement, and can't wait to change the lives of his children. Let's watch!
DAD: Say, kids! What are you doing on that outdated computer?"
DANNY: Aw, I'm just trying to watch a movie for school.
DAUGHTER: We're studying Avatar. But, Dad! It's such a BORING movie in plain ol' 2D!
DAD: I'll say! What's even the point?
DANNY: Sure wish we could watch it in 3D like we did that winter when we were young.
DAUGHTER: Yeah, we had the full experience that year.
DANNY: But now that it's 2012, I guess that'll never, ever happen.
DAUGHTER: Sigh. Guess I'm gonna go cry in the bathroom again.
DAD: Wait, kids! Check this out! It's a Samsung 3D Blu-ray Player!
DAUGHTER: Wow! A Blu-ray player that handles 3D!
DANNY: Wait... are you lying to us again?
DAUGHTER: Hey, yeah. Like when you said our dog went to that farm!
DAD: No lies, kids, the Samsung 3D Blu-ray Player handles 3D with ease! And look what else it can do! By using the built-in Wi-Fi technology I can share content from my smart phone... like this video of our dog on a farm!
DAUGHTER: It's Puddles!
DANNY: Aw, Dad! He looks so happy!
DAUGHTER: Did he just eat a rat?
DAD: That's farm life, honey! And that's the life we can observe from afar, now that we have this Samsung 3D Blu-ray Player. Now, who wants to help your ol' Dad figure out how to access the special BD Wise Web features?
DANNY: Oh, Dad!
DAUGHTER: Ha ha! Old people are dumb!
VIDEO IMAGE OF PUDDLES: Bark, Bark!
VIDEO IMAGE OF THE RAT: Squeeeal!

We don't recommend you base your self-worth on how often we feature your comments, but we don't expressly forbid it either.
