If there were a Mt. Rushmore for athletes, Muhammad Ali would be on it.
Chiseled into South Dakota granite, he'd reside alongside that other giant of sporting Americana, Babe Ruth. The years will roll on but the immense stature of these two icons will forever tower over all others.
Filling-out the rest of the foursome is no cake-walk. Rounding-up contenders is easy enough but selecting the chosen few is problematic. Not entirely unlike Jefferson's conundrum (Bill of Rights), the biggest fear is leaving out an indispensable.
Lightening the load is the fact it's all in fun, meaning, your choices needn't pass muster with local tribal-leaders or some kind of Ken Burns, revisionary litmus test.
Simply pick America's four most influential figures of "tumultuous merriment (Johnson)," whether they come with glowing halo or bad-ass baggage in tow.
After the two titans, Jackie Robinson comes quickly to mind. His courage, contribution to civil rights and Dodgers distinction will never be forgotten. But I'm not so sure even he'd approve of his present-day deification by MLB. Something in the vain of "Stop feeding off me! (Cool Hand Luke)" might echo his sentiments if alive today.
Next comes Lombardi, Clemente, Billie Jean King, Cobb, Mantle, Rockne, Gehrig, Page, Bear Bryant, Thorpe, Wooden, Nicklaus, Unitas, Jim Brown, Butkus, Walter Ray, Scully, Montana, Berg, Shoulders, Sugar Ray Robinson, Mack, Foyt, Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Babe Zaharias, Josh Gibson, Graham, Halas, Owens, Petty, Mathewson, Connors and on and on and on.
And the greats of hockey? 'Made in Canada' shouldn't disqualify American favorites like Shore, Hull, Plante, Brodeur, Richard, Bowman, Howe, Orr, Gretzky and Blake. Half their ice-time was clocked on the Southern side of the NHL.
Four spots is a petite pantheon (real Rushmore) with so many greats from which to pick.
Even with the rather pedestrian passel of Presidents, I always thought there should be more mugs on Rushmore. I've got no quarrel with those who made the cut, giants, all of 'em. But if I'd made the call I wouldn't begin the blasting until Old Hickory was on the roster. No Andy Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans (1815), two-terms, the first People's President who busted the bank trusts? Tsk-tsk, Mr. Coolidge.
But whether it's four faces or fourteen, two will always stand above the rest, already chiseled onto the minds of American sport fans, young & old.
George Herman Ruth, "a parade all by himself (Cannon)." Starting as a HOF-caliber moundsman, Ruth's power with the bat was unprecedented. Though, when asked if he'd not swung so for the stands might he have hit .400, the ever-confident Babe shot back, "Hell, kid, I coulda' hit .500!" And he could have.
Such talent, wrapped in a lovable brashness was perfectly suited to the roaring times. His insatiable appetite for round-trippers, comfort-food, wine, women & song single-handedly enlivened and rescued a scandalized (Black Sox / '20) and micro-managed national pastime.
Best Babe quotes: "(Ty) Cobb is a pr**k, but he sure can hit, God Almighty, that man can hit (Big Sticks / Curran)!" Asked to justify a salary ($100,000) greater than that of the Chief Executive (Hoover), the Babe calmly responded: "I had a better year than he did."
Babe Ruth, a "natural born world shaker (Dragline)."
It's funny, you'd think they couldn't be more different. But the more I read about Ruth, the more I'm reminded of the other sure face on my imaginary monument, Ali.
He was known as Cassius Marcellus Clay when he took the boxing world by storm at the Rome Olympics ('60). By the time he'd taken the title from the a brutish & brooding Sonny Liston ('64), his new religion and name had become the bigger story.
Charming one moment, cruel the next (v Frazier), the outspoken pugilist was a hard sell in Peoria after his conversion and draft refusal ('66). To the seasoned press corps Ali was an angry draft-dodger. But that grizzled old bunch were becoming passé. The Lip spoke to a new, TV generation. Like The Beatles, he transcended his profession, becoming a bigger than life world figure of both influence and controversy.
And like the Sultan of Swat, Ali seemed tailor-made for his time.
To the new press Ali was a god-send, a quote-machine whose pre-fight poetry was unlike anything they'd ever heard before. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" became Muhammad's defining line. My own favorite Ali-ism: "I'm fast, I'm pretty and can't POSSIBLY be beat!" Arrogance made interesting. That was a first…and a last.
And he found a kindred spirit in Howard Cosell, frequently feigning discord while taking us all for a ride. And we loved it. In the lawyer's hands Ali showed a lighter side, more contemplative and surprisingly patient with the blunt, always provocative Howard.
It's in the aftermath of these two tremendous reigns where the similarity ends.
When Ruth exited the game in 1935 baseball was in its early golden age. Heroes like DiMaggio, Williams, Musial, Berra, Mays, Koufax, Gibson and Aaron carried the banner well into the 70s. Today's game has taken some serious hits with the NFL's maturation and the PED plague, but it remains the favored pastime for millions.
Boxing, on the other hand, is fighting to stay relevant, in the throes of its toughest time.
With a few exceptions (Sugar Rays), as the heavyweight class goes, so goes USA boxing. When Ali lost the title to Spinks in '78, the division was already looking a bit wobbly.
The 35 years since has seen the top tier turn into a revolving-door of titlists, with names like Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis and Klitschko (Vitali & Wladi) claiming authority.
Holmes lacked charisma, Tyson personified evil, Holyfield was a cruiserweight, the 90s Foreman was a pleasant anomaly and the other guys, Lewis (The Commonwealth) and the Klitschkos (Ukraine) are best known in their native lands.
Muhammad Ali set the boxing bar so high he left his sport wanting, yearning for a new savior. But can any fighter, in or out of the ring, ever meet the lofty standard set by the self-proclaimed "greatest?" I wonder.
Today's boxer is as gifted a pugilist as warriors of old but pales in comparison with an Ali-expectancy.
In reality, Uncle Sam's sporting tastes had been changing before Mr. Clay arrived on the scene. Rather than "KO" boxing, Ali may've actually pumped new life into the sport.
Prize-fighting was born of harder times (1700s), before middle class, when life tested us at every turn and suffering & boredom were expectations. We've got our struggles today but in many respects times are better, less trying and less conducive to after-dinner fights.
The public began to rethink their passion for pugilism when tragedy struck in two nationally-televised fights. Cuban fighter Kid Paret would die within ten days after he was knocked unconscious by Emile Griffith in a 1962 welterweight title bout on ABC. Then in 1982, South Korean lightweight Duk Koo Kim collapsed after a 14 RD TKO loss to Ray Mancini at Caesars Palace (CBS), dying four days later.
You'd think it couldn't get worse for boxing, then Mike Tyson found a gym.
All boxers have inner rage but Tyson was a truly frightening, unpredictable figure who relied on a sneaky upper-cut to knock opponents out on their feet. He unraveled fast with his first loss (Douglas '90), the best title-fight since Ali-Frazier I ('71). Then came the rape verdict ('92), ear-chomp ('97) and horrific rants ("eat your children" ('00)), giving the sport a nice, big shiner. Now he's in boxing's HOF (Canastota, NY). Just perfect.
Then there's MMA. With evolution away from boxing it's hard to figure the niche this oddly barbaric contest has carved out (See; sociologist). My theory: a post-1970 male population, spared major, social upheaval (draft / depression) but faced with a forever shrinking job market, in frustration, peer pressure and boredom, respond to mass-marketed machismo. A collective chest-thump, as it were, shouting 'We bad too!'
Not exactly sign of the Apocalypse but an activity spawned from a culture moving disturbingly closer to James Caan / Wm Harrison's Rollerball and not half as cool.
Did MMA stagger boxing? Nyet. Their respective fan bases seem to be exclusive and the sports are different at their core. MMA is premised on forcing an opponent into submission, stripping him of all his pride.
Boxing is a mixture of human brutality and style where a winner can howl in victory but still leave his vanquished rival with a modicum of dignity. And that's just what Herb Marshall left Barb Stanwyck after going a round in Breakfast for Two ('37).
Floyd Mayweather is the face of today's US boxing. Sugar Ray Leonard he is not, image-wise. But his skill in the ring has been of the highest caliber and more than well-tested.
As for his post-fight, ring-conduct (Merchant flare-up / '11): Even elder statesmen can get too full of themselves. 'Asked & answered' was my feeling in watching the senior pepper the winner with post-fight queries. If he hasn't yet, Larry owes Floyd a phone call.
Then there's the blood-test. Mayweather's willingness to give the red stuff gave him the PR upper-hand over his talented, would-be challenger Manny Pacquiao whose meteoric rise came to a screeching halt at his apparent refusal to give the same a year ago.
Boxing will never rise to the heights of popularity it enjoyed for most of the 20th century. Too much has changed. But I hope it someday thrives again. Great fighters, memorable bouts, they'll always be with us.
Because if Rocky ever goes MMA, I don't want to see it. Do you?

These technologies will expand and broaden the possibilities of making significant improvements in therapeutic effects in numerous diseases that were previously considered impossible with conventional antibodies. At CPR in Singapore, we will focus on creating these candidate antibodies for the first few years, after which we will conduct clinical trials.
Do you intend to expand operations in other region besides Singapore?
Chugai has satellite research centers in Singapore (PharmaLogicals Research), South Korea (C&C Research Laboratories) and Japan (Forerunner Research), as well as development and sales and marketing operations in Taiwan and China.
Chugai is committed to invest $160 million (S$200 million) over the next five years in Singapore, and this will be the focus of our operations in this region. Our priority is to ensure results and success of our existing operations.
How far do you think technological advancements are important in developing new therapies for difficult to treat diseases?
Finding new therapies is very challenging, but technologies such as cell therapy and DNA therapy among other new technologies can overcome these challenges. We believe we can conquer the treatment of difficult-to-cure diseases step-by-step, over a period of time. Chugai aims to target diseases that have high unmet medical needs by utilizing its strength in biopharmaceutical research and in small-molecule research gained from strategic alliance with Roche.
Chugai and Roche have a research collaboration in both small molecules and in non-small molecules since 2003 and 2004, including mutual access to both research resources, such as the world's top class chemical compound library with the size of two million compounds.

The British Library and Google have just announced a partnership to digitise and make available over 40 million pages from out-of-copyright (ie: public domain) books in the BL's collection. According to the press release, the materials will include
…books, pamphlets and periodicals dated 1700 to 1870, the period that saw the French and Industrial Revolutions, The Battle of Trafalgar and the Crimean War, the invention of rail travel and of the telegraph, the beginning of UK income tax, and the end of slavery. It will include material in a variety of major European languages, and will focus on books that are not yet freely available in digital form online.
This is pretty exciting – not just becuase of the level of access to previously unavailable work, but also becuase of how they're doing the digitisation:
Once digitised, these unique items will be available for full text search, download and reading through Google Books, as well as being searchable through the Library's website and stored in perpetuity within the Library's digital archive.
Not being able to search text has always been one of the major criticisms of Google Books and it seems like they and the BL have listened.
Now, I am as suspicious of Google Books as most people in the digital humanities are – their motives are often seen as murky, and the half-baked nature of the digitisations in Google Books has always been problematic for me; more problematic, in fact, than the copyright stuff, which doesn't really interest me that much (thanks to my indoctrination in the free culture world, I think copyright, as we know it at least, will cease to exist sooner rather than later). But fully-searchable text of public domain works available for perpetuity seems like a step in the right direction. I'm looking forward to the discussions that this move sparks.

Dear Master Replicas,
I feel that it would be great if you guys made the FX Lightsabers with a detachable blade. That is the only thing holding back from buying these Lightsabers. If you guys did make them I would definitely buy all of them. It would also be slightly more easy to package and ship. Thanks

I had problems when I last upgraded to 0.7.8 of Gensim. The main issue was that the package I imported wasn't necessarily the one used: quite often, it seemed as though the top level would be from one install whereas another import would be from somewhere else. The net result was that parts of my software were looking for an id2word method in a dictionary where there were none before.
However, I still want to try 0.7.8 if I can and I found a way. I downloaded and untarred it, and renamed it 'gensim078'. Then, I went and changed each 'from gensim import *' statement to 'from gensim078 import *' which seems to be doing the trick. I'm sure there are better ways to do it but this is working for me so I'm happy.
The advantages are that a) it's faster particularly for similarity calculations, and b) I now have access to the Log Entropy model which I'm building for G1750.
Later tonight, I'll adjust the dictionary and begin pruning words that appear across lots of documents to see if that improves the focus. The program does seem a little 'fuzzy' as it is but that is quite a human characteristic so I'm not too worried. However, it will help me explore vector models and understand them better myself.
Although the results of the word-pair semantic association task were poor, I'm not dismayed (too much!) because my whole construction is not perfect and there is lots of room for improvement. The task is also useful as it gives me an indication of accuracy by another means to the 20NG categorisation task. When I create a new corpus, I should ideally subject it to a battery of tests designed to test different things. With the results of these, I can work out whether the corpus is heading in the right direction or not. It's all good to have these tools even if (initially) not going how I wanted them to.
I'm turning into a perfectionist. I really need to release something useful before I refine... Release early, release often...

North of South, West of East (Meredith Danluck | USA | 82 min.)
Four characters, four screens. The audience immersed, as stupefied as in a shopping mall electronics shop. Your attention flickers, trying to take it all in, not miss crucial details. The work seems unlimited in all directions, and it's dazzlingly overwhelming. But you adjust to the overload. You realize the sound design is gently guiding your attention from screen to screen. You can make your own interpretations, even your own edit, your own film. So you discover moments that seem like outtakes: delightfully unexpected, notable non-incidents in the character's lives that would usually be off-screen. But here, there is no off-screen. Rooftop Films and Meredith Danluck are transforming MetroTech Plaza into one giant surround-screen.
North of South, West of East is a unique cinematic event that tells four stories, but is one coherent film, with plots that are compelling, funny, twisted and insightful. A portrait of post-modern America (or "post-hope," as Danluck describes it), the four cardinal directions of the title imply both a sprawling cross-continental landscape film and a film located exactly nowhere (where is "north of south"?). The four characters represent archetypes of American struggle: the auto-worker (Ben Foster) and the cowboy (James Penfold), the out-of-work actress (Sue Galloway) and the hustling immigrant (Erik Quintana). Each are comically out of step with the times, stumbling into epiphanies. Galloway's disarmingly dim-witted ways lead her on a misguided Mary Kay makeup mission, but when she's literally run off the road, she discovers her inner sassiness. Foster's gas-huffing grease monkey is clearly looking to delude himself, but uncovers within the underbelly of Americana a genuine weirdness he could never fantasize.
Inspired equally by late-night television and avant-garde cinema, in dividing the viewer's attention Danluck creates an experience that is fragmented and ephemeral, fitting for the story's themes. Like the characters on their road trips, the audience has agency in their choices — but you're just as likely to disappear into your lifelong dream as you are to get smacked in the face with cold french fries. Either way, it could only happen here, wherever here is, in America.

THORNWELL — Expert and novice birders from all over the U.S. and Canada are flocking to the back roads and rice fields of Jeff Davis Parish this weekend on the lookout for the rare yellow rail bird.
"Ordinarily the yellow rail is one of the hardest birds to find, and this is the best place to see them," said Bruce Hollingsworth of Madison, Ala., who has attended the Yellow Rails and Rice Festival in Jeff Davis Parish every year since the festival began in 2009.
"I have never missed one," he said. "I come back because it's fun and we have a good time looking for the yellow rail and a great time riding on the combine."
On Thursday, Hollingsworth and hundreds of other avian aficionados from 27 states and two Canadian provinces descended on the rice fields of Thornwell armed with binoculars, cameras and field logs. Their goal is to see yellow rails flushed from the rice fields during harvesting.
The festival continues this weekend with plenty of bird watching, kayak tours of Lacassine Bayou, banding workshops, a rice mill tour, and field trips to the Cameron coast and Kisatchie National Forest. The group will also observe the rice harvest in some areas.
Birding is one of the fastest-growing pastimes in the country, said Bob Perciasepe, deputy administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who attended the festival for the first time this year.
"Sixty-three million Americans watch birds in their back yard, and 24 million travel every year to go see a bird," Perciasepe said. "That's putting tens of thousands of dollars in the national economy."
The festival is also an excellent way to promote the rice industry, according to Kevin Berken, chairman of the Louisiana Rice Promotion Board. Berken has grown rice in the Thornwell area for 18 years.
"The festival is also an opportunity to see the yellow rail because rice, more so than any other crop in the U.S., produces more wildlife," Berken said. "It's a perfect relationship between growing rice and habitats for birds and other wildlife."
Birds like the rice fields, and the second rice crop allows the yellow rails to migrate to a dry area after spending their summers in Minnesota and Canada, he said. "The habitat we provide birds also provides food for those around the world," Berken said.
Even without a crop, the rice stubble in harvested fields provides protective covering and habitat for the birds, especially ducks and geese, he said.
Anne Mayville of Syracuse, N.Y., who is working on her big year for birding, was among the first-timers at the festival.
"I've traveled all over to different parts of the country getting local birds (on a birding list)," Mayville said. "My personal goal is 500 birds this year, and this is the 10th festival I have been to and I'm up to 489 birds on my list. I've never seen a yellow rail, but it's a life bird for me and I intend on seeing it."
Kathleen Sullivan of Boulder, Colo., has been birding for 35 years and made the trek in hopes of catching a glimpse of her first yellow rail.
"The yellow rail is a very hard bird to see if you are not doing something like this festival," Sullivan said. "The festival is a chance to see the yellow rail, which is the number one target for the group."
Jim and Sandy Kovanda, drove 946 miles from Bellevue, Neb., to attend the festival after learning about it from a friend. "We've been birding 30 years and have never seen the yellow rail. Hopefully we will see it today," Sandy said.
"Even if we don't see the yellow rail, it has been worth the trip," added Jim.
The couple travels all over the U.S. birding.
"Once you catch the birding fever it makes trips a lot more interesting," Sandy said, noting that they travel more now than they used to because of their hobby.
Bob Reed, and his wife, Pat of Tallassee, Ala., have attended the festival for three years. "It's a wonderful marriage of Eastern and Western birds here that are not common anywhere else," Bob said.
The Reeds have been birding for nearly 30 years. "It's something we can do together and enjoy," Pat said.
Megan Nepshinsky, of Rhode Island, was excited at the chance to see a yellow rail in the wild ride on a farm combine. "I have never seen a yellow rail, so it will be really exciting," she said.
In addition to seeing the yellow rails, the group also spotted lots of ducks, geese, ibises and grackles in muddy fields and in freshly cut rice fields. Other sightings have included a bald eagle, long-billed dowitchers, stilt sandpipers, cowbirds, Inca doves and scissor-tailed flycatchers.

Request to Devotees for Photographs of His Holiness Karmapa, in Particular the 16th Karmapa
October 30, 2010
This year marks the 900th year since the birth of the First Karmapa Düsum Khyenpa (1110-1193), who founded the lineage of Kagyu in 1139 C.E.
It is said:

EMA to Review New Hep C Drugs for Possible Hep B Reactivation »

(Hepatitis A Vaccine) Injection
HAVRIX (Hepatitis A Vaccine) is a sterile suspension of inactivated virus for intramuscular administration. The virus (strain HM175) is propagated in MRC-5 human diploid cells. After removal of the cell culture medium, the cells are lysed to form a suspension. This suspension is purified through ultrafiltration and gel permeation chromatography procedures. Treatment of this lysate with formalin ensures viral inactivation. Viral antigen activity is referenced to a standard using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and is therefore expressed in terms of ELISA Units (EL.U.).
Each 1-mL adult dose of vaccine contains 1440 EL.U. of viral antigen, adsorbed on 0.5 mg of aluminum as aluminum hydroxide.
Each 0.5-mL pediatric dose of vaccine contains 720 EL.U. of viral antigen, adsorbed onto 0.25 mg of aluminum as aluminum hydroxide.
HAVRIX contains the following excipients: Amino acid supplement (0.3% w/v) in a phosphate-buffered saline solution and polysorbate 20 (0.05 mg/mL). From the manufacturing process, HAVRIX also contains residual MRC-5 cellular proteins (not more than 5 mcg/mL), formalin (not more than 0.1 mg/mL), and neomycin sulfate (not more than 40 ng/mL), an aminoglycoside antibiotic included in the cell growth media.
HAVRIX is formulated without preservatives.
HAVRIX is available in vials and prefilled syringes. The tip caps of the prefilled syringes may contain natural rubber latex; the plungers are not made with natural rubber latex. The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex.
What are the possible side effects of hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix, Vaqta)?
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shots caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with hepatitis A is much more dangerous to your health than receiving the vaccine to protect against it. Like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects, but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.

What are the precautions when taking hepatitis a vaccine, inactivated (Havrix)?
Before getting hepatitis A vaccine, tell your health care professional if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as neomycin, formalin, latex in some vials/prefilled syringes), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before receiving this vaccine, tell your health care professional your medical history, especially of: bleeding problems (such as hemophilia, low platelets, anticoagulant treatment), current illness with fever.
If you have decreased immune function from other medications (see also Drug Interactions) or other illness (such as HIV, leukemia, lymphoma, other cancer), your body may not make enough antibodies to protect you from hepatitis...

Binghamton University forum to discuss government and nonprofit response to Katrina
Binghamton University will host a "Hurricane Katrina Report Card" forum to discuss government and nonprofit response to the disaster at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 27, in room 110 of the Engineering Building on the University campus. The forum is free and open to the public.
Participants include Ashley Herad, a 2003 graduate of Binghamton University's Masters in Public Administration program and who now serves as an aide to Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco; Errol Louis, a columnist for the New York Daily News who writes about social policy and urban issues; Cindy Gordineer; executive director of the local chapter of the Red Cross; and students who have relocated to Binghamton from New Orleans.
Participants will consider questions such as: How did the government and nonprofit sectors respond in the days following the hurricane? What is government's responsibility in rebuilding the Gulf Coast? What role should nonprofit organizations play?
Volunteer donations will be requested at the door to provide assistance to six New Orleans families relocating to the Binghamton area. Members of these families will also be in attendance.
This event is sponsored by the Binghamton University Masters of Public Administration Program. Call 607-777-4703 for more information.

They choked on applesauce. Period.
I got sicker and sicker as the afternoon went on yesterday to the point where I threw up in discussed. Just a real sad state for the US golfing community.
I hate rude behavior in a man, won't tolerate it. Captain Woodrow Call
No golfer me; given the choice between doing time in prison or a British golf club, I'd take Her Majesties holiday camp anytime.
I do think all the chat about US golf being in terminal decline is a bit premature, it was after all a very close finish, and there are by all accounts some young, strong guys coming through. Tigger has never been the top of my hit parade as a sportsman; a miserable looking sod who appears to be suffering from painful constipation, and obviously has been a generous donor in a charisma transplant. From a Euro point of view he's wonderful and should play in the Ryder Cup until he's a hundred tears old, but I think his time has gone. Not one of natures team players, if he was in the Euro side Poulter for one would drag him round the back of the clubhouse and chin him.
When Faldos team were beaten in the US his valedictory remark was "See you at Celtic Manor, bring your waterproofs," probably the only intelligent thing he ever said as a captain. Well all you US based chums, in 2014 it's at Gleneagles, where it's currently raining and has been forever; I don't think it will abate in the next couple of years either. Fer cryin' out loud have you ever been to Perthshire in late September? So again, bring your waterproofs, Celtic Manor was just a bit of mist compared to what you'll find up there.
Will it be a three iron or your wellies Mr Woods?

Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
It still amazes me that between Tiger, Stricker and Furyk they had 1.5 points TOTAL. That's disturbing.
And I completely agree with what Wade said about the emotion(less) Tiger. Even Duff got pumped out and got the crowd going during the round and he NEVER shows any emotion.
Captain of Bobby's Boat call name COBB
I am far from being a Tiger fan (and I have known him and his family since he was a kid) but in his defense he played very well on Sat afternoon 4-ball, he carried Stricker who had a horrible Cup, they just ran into a kid from Belgium that played unbelieveable...very few people can or want to team with Tiger and Stricker brought nothing to the table this time around...Furyk continued to "choke" in another major this year..he gave away the US Open with the same type of play
I swear, if I were the Ryder cup captian for the Americans Woods would never make it as a captians pick with me. He has a terrible cup record and again brings nothing from an emotional standpoint. I believe the Euro's feed off that especially from Poulter. He is their life blood, their leader.
I believe we have seen the last of both Stricker and Furyk at the Ryder Cup and Philly Mick might be done as well based on age. I can't wait for 2 years to go by to have a re-do.
I hate rude behavior in a man, won't tolerate it. Captain Woodrow Call
I am in no way a golfer but it just looked like the USA got out played on Sunday ....Why do we look for someone to lay the blame on for the loss ...? In team sports there is always more than one or two " if this or that had happened we could have won ,..." As I saw it one man on the Euro team got hotter than a firecracker and that was the reason they won ...Inspiration for the rest maybe...Just my take on the whole thing....Steve S
Steve, if you think I am pointing the finger at Woods that is certainly not my intention. I am trying to state that as the supposeded GOD of American golf he has given virturely nothing when it comes to Ryder cup play. His record speaks for that and most of us can see he cares little for the team aspect.
No finger pointing here other than to say 9 player threw up in their respective mouths on Sunday or pissed down their leg. However one chooses to look at it, there was no reason for a collaspe of this magnitude to happen on home turf!!!

Respected sir/mam now my baby is 6 weeks old. Please tell me which vaccines are mandatory. And which are optional.
DPT /Hib /HepB /IPV..(some include rotateq first dose) Routinely given, you can give PCV in addition to the former. All these are to be given every month for three months. Optional is a misguided word. What it really means is, give it, if you can afford. All recommended vaccines are beneficial and are desirable but for affordability. (I use Rotarix at 10 & 14 wks instead of rotateq 6-10-14 wks. Both schedules are equally good)
27 years old female from Hyderabad asked
My son is 5 years old now a days he is becoming more thin and ziddi he will not listen to my words also even if I beat also he will not listen I consulted a doctor but still same what to do please suggest.
Hello lybrate-user, give him his favourite foods - more of fluids & water as it is summers now so it is difficult to solid food much. Give him small & frequent meals, may be after every 2- 3 hours. Give him lassi, juices, ice-creams, watermelon, milkshakes like mango shake, chickoo shake, banana shake. There is no point in scolding or beating. Have patience with your child. If he is active and not dull, there is not much to worry.

35 years old male from Mumbai asked
Hi My baby is 19 mths old recently doctor had told to do ATCH test for my baby and her report says. ATCH is below 5 and normal range is 0 to 48 so what does it mean pls suggest.
General Physician,
Normal ranges for ACTH are fairly broad and like cortisol levels are time-dependent. They also vary from assay to assay. A typical normal range for an 8 AM sample using the new assays is 10 to 50 picograms per milliliter (pg/ml); levels are usually less than 20 pg/ml at 4 PM and less than 5-10 pg/ml at midnight. People with insufficient cortisol production may exhibit symptoms such as: Muscle weakness. Fatigue. Weight loss. Increased skin pigmentation, even in areas not exposed to the sun. Loss of appetite. Diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Dizziness. Salt cravings.
1 year old male from Noida asked
Hi sir My child is 2 year old. He just fall down from stairs. And he got some rubbed in his forehead. Please suggest if I can use Quadriderm RF for relief now. Or Omni jel. Thanks. We.
Sir, external injury to forehead is much important with respect to injury inside the cranium and not externally to forehead. External injury may be treated with application of soframycin if trivial. Main concern is brain injury. Watch for symptoms such as vomiting, convulsions, unconsciousness after fall. If any of these are visible, visit pediatrician 24-48 hours observation may be needed. Anyway it is worthwhile getting clinically examined by pediatrician, child's health is of paramount importantance.

25 years old female asked
My baby is 9 month old and he is 69 cm tall. Is this height normal? And I am breast feeding only for one time ,is it ok? Or I need to increase number of times I feed him?
Breastfeeding as much as possible is advisable up to two years. Weaning with home food to be started after six months of age. Plot the height, weight and head circumference on growth chart (WHO and IAP) and see if physical growth is within normal limits. These charts are separate for girls and boys. They are very easy to interpret.

Your child sleeping time 10 hours is sufficient ,she complete her require of sleep so day time no requirement of sleep. You can select sleeping time of night is 10 pm start at 9 pm and getup time will be as a tease. I think this trick will support you.

My baby is 6 months old n we r going for painless vaccination. I just wanna know is it safe for baby or not.
Pediatrician, Chennai
Hi lybrate-user! Recently many people are coming up with doubts about painless vaccination. I would like to tell you that apart from oral polio drops and rotaviral vaccine, every vaccine is an injection which involves prick with needle. Of course it is going to give some pain to your child for that moment. Nowadays combination vaccines come with 4 to 5 components so that your child will be pricked only once or twice and not 4 to 5 times. Hope this helped you.
31 years old female from Udaipur asked
Hello Lybrate, My son is 6 years old he didn't listen to anyone he always talks their own. He under everything but didn't follow it. He only do what he's want. He didn't eats food at night.

Ind. Decisions - More on: SD Ind. grants emergency request for immediate, 28-day recognition of the out-of-state marriage of one Indiana couple
Attorney General Zoeller's office has issued this statement re today's decision:
EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- On Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Chief Judge Richard L. Young granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) instructing the Indiana State Department of Health on how it should issue a death certificate concerning two plaintiffs, Nikole Quasney and Amy Sandler, in Baskin et al. v. Bogan et al., a legal challenge to Indiana' s marriage law, and instructing the State to recognize the marriage of those two plaintiffs only. Thursday's TRO applies solely to Quasney and Sandler only; it does not apply to the other plaintiffs in the Baskin case, nor to any of the plaintiffs in four other legal challenges to Indiana's marriage law, nor to anyone else in Indiana. The temporary restraining order is in effect only until May 8 and the Court will schedule a preliminary injunction hearing soon on the plaintiffs' request to extend the order indefinitely. At the preliminary injunction hearing, both sides will have the opportunity to make their arguments.
Because the temporary restraining order involves two plaintiffs and one death certificate only, it does not apply in any way to marriage licenses of others. County clerks in Indiana will be notified that there is no change in legal requirements for granting marriage licenses as a result of this TRO. County clerks still are prohibited by law from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Defending the State of Indiana, the State Department of Health and the marriage statute is the State's lawyer, the Indiana Attorney General's Office. At Thursday's hearing in federal court in Evansville, Solicitor General Thomas M. Fisher of the Attorney General's Office presented the State's legal argument that under the current rule of law, the marriage statute does not allow for hardship exceptions, and the relief the plaintiffs sought could not now be granted. Temporary restraining orders cannot be appealed; so the legal issue will be considered again and more fully at the Court's upcoming preliminary injunction hearing.
Five legal challenges to the marriage statute are assigned to Chief Judge Young in U.S. District Court. The Indiana Attorney General's Office is defending the State and statute in all five cases.

So what exactly is identity theft? Basically, cyber criminals steal your
personal information: Social Security number, credit card number, etc. Then,
they can call your credit card company, change the mailing address, and go
on a spending spree with the card. They clean out your bank account, open new
ones, take out loans, buy cars, and even obtain wireless service.
Identity theft is devastating. Victims can spend years cleaning up the mess,
all the while in danger of losing not just their money but also their name
and reputation, with jail time being a real possibility . According to the
Federal Trade Commission, the number of reported cases of identity theft has
grown every year for the past three years, and now numbers more a quarter of
a million.
That's where the Internet comes in. It's estimated that a quarter of all
cases of identity theft originate on the Internet. More specifically, according
to the Internet Fraud Complaint Center , email and web pages dominate the fraud
methodology, and the vast majority of victims actually have email contact with
the perpetrator.
The problem may actually be worse than imagined. Most governmental investigative
agencies and private research organizations estimate that only one in 10 incidents
of Internet fraud ever reaches the attention of enforcement or regulatory bodies.
There are things you can do to avoid getting on the victims' list. First,
educate yourself, about the more common scams making the rounds on the Internet.
Silly as they sound, they have been amazingly successful. These include:

Thread: Is 75 enough?
Is 75 enough?
I've been looking into getting an Oscar for awhile now, and picked up a nice 75 tank and stand. Now I'm reading 75 is the absolute minimum, and that kind of scares me. If I step onto an elevator, I hope its got more than the absolute minimum tensile strength to hold me suspended above 9 floors. Is 75 minimum for necessities of life, or is an Oscar going to enjoy a 75. Earlier today I was looking up a couple fish to put in with one, now I'm wondering if my tank is going to be a good home for just the one fish. Anyone out there keep happy Oscars in tanks of this size?
He can be healthy and be king of his castle all alone and will be fine.
My nearly 11" Oscar is solo in a 6' 100 and moving to a 125 soon-ish [With company - Which I am legitimately concerned about since he has never had any company he didn't eat {Home raised feeder mollys}].
He went from a 55 when he was 9" to the 100 so I cannot speak to having an adult in a 75, I would use my empty 75 for him if I had to without hesitation but I wouldn't give him any company.
I fully agree that a 75 is the minimal tank required for an adult Oscar but I wouldn't expect to keep much company with him, IF any.
Keep in mind that any tank mates must be large enough to not be considered food and when you start piling sizable fish into a 75 you run out room really really quickly.
Another factor is if your Oscar will accept company or not because if the answer is 'not' there is nowhere for the other stock to go to get out of 'his territory' in a 75g tank and that will not end well.
Having adequate filtration is of course a MUST but that is the easiest issue to fix here [And we covered it already IIRC :-D].
Not sure if that helps but...

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
It is not really the volume of water that matters...it is the foot print and 75s offer the minimum foot print an adult O needs and plenty of gallons to dilute the waste. Domestic Os rarely get over 12-13"...so the fish will be quite comfortable in the tank for life.
Tankmates can be iffy...however I will say if the O is reared WITH other fish it is not usually a concern...especially with domestic fish. Wild caught fish are usually more aggressive, so you could see some issues if the fish were wild but still raising the fish with tankmates usually yields success if you select the right species for the tank size. In a 75G a convict or firemouth and a male BN pleco could be excellent companions for the O...simply provide a piece of wood or something the smaller fish could hide away from the O. You could also keep a Bichir...Delhezi are excellent options given their heavy armor and girth.
Filtration should be heavy....a large canister like an XP3 or 406 combined with 1-2 AC110s would be perfect.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon
Thanks for the replies, its good to hear I can still have an oscar. It's one thing thing for someone to say what their opinion on a good tank is, and another for a responsible fish owner to say they wouldn't hesitate to house their own fish in the same tank. You've put my mind at ease, 850R
I might try a firemouth or convict as a tankmate, introduced at the same time. I'd love a BN pleco, but I've heard some say the Oscar might go for him, and the BN could get lodged in the fish because of the defensive spikes. Do they grow large enough, fast enough if introduced when the Oscar is young, to stay safe?
I also like Pictus Cats, but have heard similar things. I've also heard the long whiskers disturb the Oscar when it sleeps, but that sounds like there is a Oscar whisperer out there.
Thanks MCHRKiller for the suggestions,
Make sure your O is around 4" before adding a baby convict....cons are actually quite aggressive and a small O could easily get its arse kicked by a con. If you opt for a male BN they grow to around 5" and are thick bodied and heavily armored....I keep BNs in my 150G with a 13" O...no issues. Of course the plecos keep out of the way of the O and primarily stick to the wood.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon

I see people here are 100% certain that a 75g is a bare minimum and anything else is a huge no no. However it's not true, one adult Oscar requires at least 50g tank. Usually oscars get to 12"- 16" in a tank, depending on the size of the tank but grow more in the wild. So one adult is totally fine in a 50g, that said, the bigger the tank the better.
0Usually oscars get to 12"- 16" in a tank, depending on the size of the tank but grow more in the wild.
1. Genetics
2. Enough water changes to maximize growth
Size of the tank plays only a role because #2 above is not met.

How many Oscars have you raised to full sized adulthood in that sized tank?

Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
Here's one in something less than a 75g (a 40g breeder)

IMO it's all about footprint as long as the tanks at least a foot deep. By which I mean wide enough and deep enough for the fish to have a comfortable amount of swimming space. Like the 40g breeder as mentioned above... That tank is 36" by 18" if I'm not mistaken.Coastie-to-be... hopefully.

By The Nashvillle Tennessean
This time it isn't a flood – it's about overcoming fear and intolerance. When the Al-Farooq mosque was vandalized earlier this week for the second time in three years, the surrounding community came out in force to clean up, to reassure mosque leaders, and to hold a rally and prayer service.
That was a very different response from 2010, when the mosque was defaced. People were slow to react then, although the incident came only a few months after vandalism of a Murfreesboro mosque.
Perhaps now, residents are just beginning to understand that Nashville's diversity is its strength. Or, possibly, more of the public realizes that their own religious liberties are compromised when those of others are under attack.
That sort of vigilance is needed now as much as ever.
Although police so far have suggested this week's incident was committed by only one person and was not planned, officers may want to consider this: This second vandalism occurred three years to the DAY, after the first vandalism. It could be coincidence, but such cases should not be left to chance.
Certainly, the congregants of Al-Farooq would benefit from a thorough investigation by police and FBI with no lingering questions.
Let's not lose sight, either, that it is particularly heinous when a place of worship is targeted, whatever the motive. As Remziya Suleyman, who leads the American Center for Outreach, said this week, "houses of worship … are sacred homes."
This city of families and many religions has shown it will stand against such desecration.

Family: Cottidae, Sculpins view all from this family
Description The sailfin sculpin (Nautichthys oculofasciatus, lit. "eye-banded sailor fish") is a species of scorpaeniform marine fish in the sea raven family Hemitripteridae, native to the eastern Pacific Ocean from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska to San Miguel Island off southern California. Named for its elongated, sail-like first dorsal fin, the sailfin sculpin is a popular subject of public aquaria; it is of no interest to commercial fishery.
Of the typical cottoid body plan, the sailfin sculpin is noted for its conspicuous first dorsal fin dominated by the first four spines, of approximately equal length. The overall body colour is variable, from yellow-brown to yellow-gray; darker bands on the body and red flecks and diagonal streaks may be present on the fins. A distinct, dark band runs through the eye. Maximum recorded length for the species is 20 cm. Highly modified ctenoid scales give the skin a velvety texture.
According to FishBase, a variant of sailfin sculpin occurs in Knight Inlet, British Columbia: the 'sail' of the first dorsal fin is described as appearing "frail" and "more like a mast," and is dominated by the II, III, and I spines rather than the first four spines.
Dimensions Up to 8" (20 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

Regardless of who got elected, this stimulus stuff is just flat Bull$hit!!
Bush would have run something through too.
I really think this is US VS THEM and the "them" being all the politicians.....
From the random bank bailouts to AIG etc and now this pork laden bill they are trying to stuff down our throats.....
I really think we need to band together and send DC a BIG message that we are unhappy with EVERYONE.
We need to send some serious fear into the hearts of the politicians that they are about to lose their meal ticket.

But, asks Slashdot's Tim Lord, what about new, small cameras?
You mean the ones that are only smaller on the outside?
I think this is the best we can get, given the budget situation. As I understand, it won't even be launched till 2017. On the plus side, unlike Kepler, it's an all-sky survey.

That's the last of 4 test units built and there's no immediate successor to the program (TFA). Thank god it worked.
I taught myself programming when I was about 10 years old and I'm not a native English speaker and my language is written in non-latin characters. I can tell you how I did it but many of you are not going to like it:
I started with BASIC in the pre-structured era. I wrote stuff like this:
(forgive if syntax is wrong)
I spent a lot of time drawing pictures and making music without knowing anything about conditionals or loops. Then I graduated to GOTO, which in retrospect was a lot easier to understand for a 10 year old than a structured conditional block or a loop.
When I finally started with structured programming languages, making the transition took only a little time. If I had started with it at age 10, it might have overwhelmed me. The explicit representation of sequence (the line labels), conditions and iteration (the GOTO) was easier for me to understand as a kid. Especially since my English was very limited back then.
Plus I never bothered with math (I hadn't learned to love it yet). As I said, I drew pictures and made music with the PC speaker (so I was using only a few functions built into the language). Maybe that's an approach to think about, for starters.
When Lee Iacocca built Chrysler into a powerhouse, he said he didn't know anything about how to build a car.
I thought Walter Chrysler built Chrysler into a powerhouse.
Yeah. Much of Avon's insults would go to waste without Villa
I'd love it if they keep:
1. The gritty, amoral feel and the 1984 style theme
2. The liberator, zen, orac and the liberator interior
3. Avon's witticisms (http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0026780/quotes) and Servalan
4. The theme music
Actually you know what? Just keep the original. Recently, I watched everything up to the point where the liberator was destroyed (I can't stand the Scorpio), and I see no reason to remake it.
Intraterrestrial? You mean like, life on uranus?
I don't know about gains in applied sciences, but just imagine if we subject these planets to closer scrutiny and discover something like EM emissions that could only be from something artificial? Of all the things that have ever awed or shocked humans, I think nothing would compare with the discovery of intelligent life outside our planet.
We can't possibly imagine how people will react. But I imagine it will adjust the sense of proportion for a lot of people, politically and spiritually, as in "We're a lot less special than we think we are" and "We're not all that different from each other because there are things that are a LOT more different from us out there".
over 5 million children in the United States will go to bed hungry tonight. $200 million would solve that problem for a month.
What about the next month? Should we sacrifice another long term program to temporarily alleviate a *symptom*? If people had listened this type of argument a hundred years ago, we might not have commercial aviation or satellites today. Those may not feed people directly, but they've contributed a great deal to flattening out the world, reducing conflicts and improving education.
World hunger is not a symptom of lack of food. If you keep throwing food at the problem, it'll never go away.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 279, October 10, 2003
Status of IBM p655 Cluster and Cray X1
IBM p655+ Cluster: "iceberg":
Shipment and physical installation of iceberg is complete. This includes over 6 kilometers of cabling connecting 14 separate cabinets.
From the user point of view, the system contains a total of 100 SMP nodes (servers):
92 - 8-CPU p655+ nodes, 4 - 8-CPU p655 I/O nodes, 2 - 8-CPU p655 interactive nodes, 2 - 32-CPU large-memory p690+ nodes.
Cray X1, "klondike":
Last week we activated several "pioneer" user accounts on klondike. The system is not quite ready for general usage. Pioneer users accept, among other things, that system and user software and various configurations are still being updated without our normal advance notice. We were not able to honor all requests for pioneer accounts.
Klondike should be available for general usage (by allocated, registered ARSC users, of course) in mid-November.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I logged onto your system and tried to compile my cpp program, as [[ follows: [[ cpp prog.cpp [[ Why didn't it work? # ### Thanks to Kate Hedstrom # Is this the C preprocessor or C++? Unix cpp is the C preprocessor and I use it on Fortran: cpp -P file.F > file.f The C++ compiler is called CC, xlC, or g++, depending on the system. # ### And thanks to Greg Newby # "It didn't work" covers a lot of ground. Most likely, however, you really didn't mean to call the C pre-processor (cpp), but the C or C++ compiler (CC, cc, c++, g++, etc.). Normally, the compiler will call the pre-processor for you. If you get an error such as "command not found," it could be that your search path doesn't include the compiler's location. If you're using a system you configured yourself, you might have neglected to install the necessary development environment (some Linux distributions leave out compilers in their most basic installations). If, on the other hand, you typed "cpp prog.cpp" and got your prompt back, it's likely it DID work. With Unix, the output from a successful command is another shell prompt. Finally, if you're getting lots of error messages this might indicate invalid syntax or other problems with your program. In addition to using the compiler directly, rather than the pre-processor, you probably need to spend some time looking at your code for errors. If you think something else might be amiss, try a simple "hello, world" program to make sure you can compile and run it successfully. Q: Special characters for egrep include "$" (match end of line) and "^" (match beginning of line). I had a file containing dollar signs ("$") at the beginning of many lines, and of course, these were the lines I wanted to extract with egrep. By trial and error, I discovered I had to DOUBLE escape the dollar signs. My curiousity aroused and my day already shot, I then discovered that to extract lines beginning with carats ("^"), I would only have to escape the carat once. Like this: mywkstn> cat test.txt wwwww $ xxx yyy $ ^ zzz 000 ^ 11111 mywkstn> egrep "^\\$" test.txt $ xxx mywkstn> egrep "^\^" test.txt ^ zzz mywkstn> Am I cursed? Or is this rational behavior which someone can explain?

Many Americans enjoyed a long weekend thanks to Thursday's Independence Day holiday, and while a good number may have spent some of their time in the mall, others went to the movies—although likely not to Disney's (DIS) Lone Ranger reboot.
That movie debuted at the No. 2 spot over the three-day weekend, with $29.4 million in receipts, behind Despicable Me 2, which earned $82.5 million. Lazard Capital Market's Barton Crockett writes that according to his calculations, The Lone Ranger could "be pacing for a $190 million writeoff, ahead of the $113 million he had previously modeled. Still, investors seemed to shrug off the news, as Disney was trading up more than 1% at recent check.
He also notes that the success of Despicable Me 2 could cause problems for Dreamworks Animation's (DWA), which opens July 17. (Still, the movie set a record for low 3D attendance.)
Despite Disney's misstep, total box office receipts for the weekend rose 15.5% year-over-year to $227 million. B. Riley analyst Eric Wold notes that the first week of the third quarter is off to a strong start, especially given difficult comparisons to July 2012. He expects that exhibitors should meet or exceed consensus expectations for the second quarter—his Buy rated names include Carmike Cinemas (CKEC), Digital Cinema Destinations (DCIN), Marcus Corp. (MCS) and Imax Corp. (IMAX). Wold reiterated his Neutral rating on RealD (RLD), citing in part Despicable Me 2's low 3D attendance, the latest indication of a trend of more selective consumer consumption of 3D.
Also out today is Dougherty & Co.'s report on Imax. Analyst Steven Frankel maintained his Buy rating on the name. Although he reduced some of his earnings estimates for Imax, he reiterated his bullish stance, writing "we believe the key to the Imax story lies, not in the near-term box office, but in the company's growing global network… At the same time, the company's growing influence in Hollywood is allowing the company to cherry pick films which best fit the Imax format and better optimize the network, especially overseas through international-only and local language releases."

A bloated, secretive, lawless national security state is pilloried in this scathing but shallow critique of America's post-Vietnam defense policies. MSNBC talk-show host Maddow recaps milestones in a decadeslong process of giving presidents dangerously convenient and unaccountable war-making powers: the Reagan administration's gigantic military buildup, Iran-Contra illegalities, and assertions of executive privilege; the supplanting of soldiers with private contractors under Clinton and Bush fils; the growth of the CIA's secret drone air force; the many invasions, from Grenada to Iraq, launched by commanders-in-chief without constitutional authority. The author presents sharp, well-supported analyses of these episodes, spicing them with a caustic wit that skewers everything from Army recruitment ads to the Air Force's habit of accidentally dropping or misplacing its nuclear warheads. She's less cogent in blaming America's adventurism on the neglect of the Constitution's requirement that Congress declare war (many inane conflicts, like the Spanish-American War, passed that hurdle) and the lapse of the tradition of calling up the citizen-soldiers of the Reserves and National Guard, which she believes puts a brake on war-mongering (although the Iraq War call-up, she allows, had no such effect). Maddow's incisive look at the follies of militarism needs a deeper understanding of why America has so often embraced it. Agent: Laurie Liss, Sterling Lord Literistic. (Apr.)

It was pretty clear last night anyway. Romney handed him his arse. He had points laid out very well and stayed on topic. He was not trying to stumble around to find an answer. Obama was lost and did lose last night.
People working thats a great idea wonder why Obama didnt think of that! Under this President jobs is a dirty 4 letter word unless your biden than its a 3 letter word.

The POTUS has not outlined any tax reform at all ... except for temporarily keeping the Bush tax cuts on all but those earning over $200K. He overlooks the point made by many that many small business owners would fall into the category of $200-$300K, and their income may be on paper after the actual $ has gone back into the business.
What details did we have on Obamacare in campaign 2008? I'd say almost none.
Saw an interesting one-on-one video with one of Romney's economic advisors and Clinton's former Labor Secty. The latter kept saying that Romney hasn't given specifics. The former explained that there were many ways to skin the cat, and it would be a result of bi-partisan effort which way to do so.
Everybody wants specifics from Romney ... nobody ever asked Obama for specifics. Then, when he took office he said it was so much worse than he imagined. Why? He had a bunch of advisors who knew the financial systems first-hand. They should have known. Geithner should have known.
Even now they're not asking for specifics. When talking education, Romney offered school choice and having $ follow the child. Obama did not even respond to that ... O's comments on education were to hire 100,000 teachers and other general "pablum".
In 2008, Obama never explained how he would cut the deficit in half & get unemployment down, yet everyone just "bought it". The same thing is happening now ... he has offered no new approach to what he's done for 4 years past. Business needs something permanent in place to make their 5- and 10-year plans. They can't plan based on temporary goodies.
You were seeing things fall apart in 2004 ... here, the housing boom was just beginning in 2003. It started going south a bit in by the end of 2006. By 2008 it was in free fall. So, different parts of the country seemed to have different timetables.

What does hiring 100,000 more teachers in math and science solve? Will it mean the horrible schools will be better? Right now we have 50% of our college graduates unable to find jobs.
doubled - we can see the results.
The difference between RMoney & the Kenyan is RMoney is capable of seeing something is not working & attempting to do something about it - the Kenyan is only capable of pandering .
