3 Days In Bangkok
You will be tempted to stay up all night with a bottle of Thai rice whisky and a few locals, but turn in early. Tomorrow, you're going back out into the heat to explore some of the city's ancient and dazzling temples.
Day 2: Royal Palace and templesRise early and arrange travel to the Royal Palace. You can grab a tuk-tuk, Thailand's open-air, three-wheeled, two-stroke turbo taxis, but the ride will likely cost a premium. Another option is to grab a regular taxi and make sure the meter is on. Otherwise, the driver might try to charge you three or four times the actual cost when you arrive at your destination.
The Thai royal family doesn't live at the Royal Palace anymore — they have some new digs nearby — so the place is open to tourists. In fact, it's teeming with them. But the Royal Palace is not to be missed. It's a gleaming gilded edifice with insanely detailed tile work and craftsmanship. Enter through the majestic gate and ride the torrent of tourists into the main courtyard. From there, follow your instincts. You'll be dazzled at every turn and mesmerized by the sheer implausibility of the palace and its temple.
Take a few minutes to relax near the palace's main lawn, bask in the sun and watch the international visitors prowling the grounds with their cameras. When you've had enough, take a brisk walk to Wat Pho, the city's largest and grandest temple, where you will find even more splendor and Thai history to gawk at. The temple was built in 1788 and is home to a 150-foot-long golden reclining Buddha. It's a maze of multicolored spires set among gardens filled with statues. And if you want to learn more about the dazzling things around you, glom on to a passing tour group. Most won't mind you hanging around for a few minutes and you could meet other interesting travelers.
Day 3: Ancient AyutthayaAfter stewing for two days in Bangkok's cauldron, you'll be ready for some peace and quiet. You'll find it about 55 miles north of the city in the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, which was the seat of all power in Thailand from 1350 to 1767. During that time, the royal family built an amazing array of resplendent temples along the city's river.
It'll take a little more than an hour and cost you about $1 to reach Ayutthaya by train from Bangkok's Hualamphong station. In terms of sightseeing, you'll have a few dozen temples, historical sites and museums to choose from.
Some essential travel tips for Thailand…

From TSA.govTSA screens every passenger's baggage before it is placed on an airplane. While our technology allows us to electronically screen bags, there are times when we need to physically inspect a piece of luggage. TSA has worked with several companies to develop locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys so that the locks may not have to be cut. These locks are available at airports and travel stores nationwide. The packaging on the locks indicates whether they can be opened by TSA.Checked baggage is luggage you check in at the ticket counter or curbside. It will not be accessible during your flight. When locking your checked bags, please use a TSA Accepted & Recognized Lock. TSA is mandated by Federal law to screen 100% of checked baggage. If your baggage alarms, unrecognized locks may have to be broken to access your bags. TSA will not reimburse passengers for unrecognized locks broken as a result of the security screening process.To lock...or not. In some cases screeners will have to open your baggage as part of the screening process. If your bag is unlocked TSA will simply open and screen the contents. However, if you decide to lock your checked bag and TSA cannot open it through other means, then the locks may have to be broken. TSA is not liable for damage caused to locked bags that must be opened for security purposes.
TSA suggests that you help prevent the need to break your locks by using a TSA-recognized locking mechanism. These "special" locks can be opened by TSA using tools provided to us by participating industry members and can be purchased at multiple retail outlets.I found NOTHING stating that you are required to use a TSA lock, only that it is strongly recommended.Moreover, while TSA certainly regrets that occasionally checked baggage and locks are damaged by secondary screening, TSA is not responsible for certain damage caused by secondary screening. Should checked baggage generate an alarm for the presence of explosives during the screening process, TSA must resolve the alarm for the safety and security of the aircraft and its passengers. Access to the interior of the bag is often required to resolve the alarm, even if it must be forced. In the event that access to a bag must be forced, TSA will not be responsible for broken locks or unavoidable damage in opening a locked bag. Passengers can avoid this type of possible damage by either not locking their bags or using a TSA recognized lock that can be opened by TSA without damage.
Locking a Checked bag with a firearm with a non TSA lock, since it has already been screened [with you present] and tagged with their special fru-fru sticker, there should not be any problems down the line short of your baggage tag becoming separated from your luggage.

All flying experiences are different. Below is a link to an old post of mine about this. When I fly and transport I always put my gun and ammo in a COM type case and secure the cable to the inside of the suitcase. In case the OP is not familiar with this type of gun case below is a link to it. Several companies make similar ones.

Same Airline, 2 different experiences-Both Good
I like that idea to secure the smallish locked gun case to the bag via a cable. Sure, someone could still get it out but it seems to me that the more work you make it the less likely someone would succeed getting it without notice.
I so agree with the procedures being all over the place with airports, airlines, and agents. I would really think this would be more standardized.

This also gives me the advantage of knowing that everything is locked securely in my suitcase and can not easily be stolen by TSA or the baggage handlers. Also the Storm or Pelican cases are almost indestructable. I never worry about damage to my suitcase.

If the gun box is large enough it can also be your suitcase and it's totally legal. I know guys who transport expensive electronics and photo equipment. They put a pistol in the box to make it the gun box and lock it up with non TSA locks.. Totally legal.
I've said it many times get an eye bolt from a hardware store and a couple of fender washers in the bolt shank size 1/4 -5/16",drill or punch a hole to bolt the eye bolt thruand using lock nuts run one nut on the bolt then a fender washer,put eye bolt thru the hole then add fender washer followed by second lock nut,tighten down and remove excess bolt sticking out past lock nut,you then can attach a cable lock that comes with a lot of firearms and run it thru the eye bolt and handle of your gun case,even if they open your bag they will need cable cutters to get your gun,and they probably don't have any on hand

I really, and I mean REALLY, like the idea of being able to lock my stuff in a hard sided case with a non TSA lock. I take comfort in the fact that my stuff, even if it is just my dirty underwear, is as secure as it can be and not available for 'inspection' or anything else. If they have a legitimate concern, they will page you and deal with it in an official manner.

Europeans are increasingly uncomfortable with the United States' global leadership, with majorities in almost every nation opposing the direction of American foreign policy, a new poll has found.
The survey, conducted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States and Compagnia di San Paolo of Turin, Italy, collected views on both sides of the Atlantic about international threats, global leadership and the use of force to resolve conflicts.
The survey offers a snapshot of changing attitudes since the Bush administration, frustrated by some European resistance to war, led a coalition to battle in Iraq without the authorization of the United Nations Security Council. President Bush said on Tuesday that he would seek United Nations' help to strengthen military forces in Iraq.
The difference between American and European attitudes is widening, the poll found, as longtime allies of the United States increasingly chafe under American leadership.Continue reading the main story
''The trans-Atlantic split over war in Iraq has undermined America's standing with Europeans,'' the survey's authors said.
In Italy and Germany, for example, disapproval of current American foreign policy has surged by 20 percentage points from last year, according to the poll, which sampled the views of 8,000 Americans and Europeans in June.
The survey was conducted in the United States and seven other countries -- Germany, France, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Portugal -- and has a margin of error of three percentage points.
While a firm majority of European respondents -- 64 percent -- last year favored a strong American presence in the world, that number dropped to 45 percent this year. In France, 7 of 10 respondents said American global leadership was ''undesirable,'' and half the Italians and Germans agreed.
Americans are more likely than Europeans to embrace the use of force to rid nations of dangerous weapons, and are more willing to circumvent the United Nations if their vital interests are at stake, the poll found.
For example, on North Korea, 63 percent of Americans support using force to keep that nation from acquiring weapons of mass destruction. By contrast, only 37 percent of Europeans supported such an attack. North Korea upset nuclear disarmament talks last month by stating its intention to test a nuclear bomb.
Nearly three out of four Americans -- 73 percent -- would endorse the use of force to keep Iran from getting biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. But fewer than half of Europeans -- 44 percent -- said they would support military action to disarm Iran.
On the Middle East, both Americans and Europeans seemed willing to exert pressure on Israel to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians. But Americans were much more inclined to withhold aid to the Palestinian Authority in order to end suicide attacks, with 72 percent favoring such action. A bare majority of Europeans, 52 percent, supported such action, the poll found.
Asked whether war can be viewed as just, Americans overwhelmingly assented, at 84 percent. But Europeans were more skeptical; only 48 percent responded that war may be used to achieve justice.Continue reading the main story

- Intel Z77
- Core i7 / i5 / i3 (LGA1155)
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Nice but didn't work 01/27/2014
This review is from: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Nicely built and packaged board. Most popular 1155 on Newegg
The PCIe slots on this particular board are faulty (Win7 Ultimate installed). I used three video cards to test. My main card is a MSI 660ti, which wouldn't boot on PCIe#1 as soon as I install nvidia driver (many different versions tried, same result). It can boot on PCIe#2 but the display driver crashes constantly in Win7. I had much better luck with a Gigabyte 660ti but the card benchmarks less than 50% what it should be. The same story goes with a MSI GTX275. All three cards perform normally in other computers. I tried resetting BIOS etc. with no luck. I finally replaces the Asrock board with an ASUS. Everything else being exactly the same, the ASUS installation was a breeze and the system performs with no issue.
Other Thoughts:
I didn't not try to get a replacement from Asrock because I lost confidence in this particular model after the issues I had. Therefore I cannot comment on Asrock service. This is my first and probably last Asrock board. I will stay with ASUS in the future.
Manufacturer Response:
Dear ASRock Customer
We sincerely apologize that you having difficulty with discrete VGA cards.
Mainboard supports most of the VGA cards on the market. We do testing with Nvidia GTX 660ti cards working normally on our test bench.
As always, we appreciate your purchase and constructive reviews are welcome.
If you have any technical issues or warranty questions please contact us at http://www.ASRock.com/support/tsd.asp. We can assist you shortly.

Planning for Your Farm's Future
Understand your succession options, and how to find and prepare for working with legal and financial professionals
A day will come when you will no longer be able to farm full-time. Or, perhaps, you're one of those rare farmers who will want to retire! How will that impact your farm business? How will that impact your farm legacy?
Too often, these questions are avoided or put on hold because they don't seem urgent, and frankly, they are a bit uncomfortable. But planning now is vitally important. Whether you're 45 or 75, it is in your best interest (and that of your loved ones) to understand the ins and outs of legal, tax, and family implications of farm business transfers.
Renewing the Countryside and the Sustainable Farming Association have organized a series of workshops to help farmers and farm-land owners in creating a transition plan for their business and assets. The workshops discuss wills and trusts, life insurance, power of attorney, long-term health care, and more – all issues that are included in a farm succession plan.
At each workshop, a panel of farm succession professionals will discuss how to find and prepare for working with a legal and financial team of support specialists. We will facilitate a question-and-answer session to ensure that topics specific to your situation will be discussed. A resource packet will provide information on various transfer strategies, tax issues related to the transfer process, how to discuss methods for treatment of heirs, and how to develop a written transfer plan. General assistance will also be available following the workshop for those that are interested.
Our program is more than workshops, though. We're here to help anyone taking part in any steps of the farm transition process – farmers looking to retire, folks who stand to inherit land, or anybody who is simply bewildered about where to start. Our experienced team of farmers and educators are here to coach you on how to get started with your farm transition.
And we don't stop there. Our team will stick with you through the months-long process of farm succession planning, providing a constant resource for questions and advice. We'll be here for you every step of the way.

Many Farm Families Take Part in Four-Day John Baker Workshop
Thanks to the generous support of USDA-Risk Management Agency, we were able to bring Attorney John Baker to Minnesota to conduct a multi-day workshop. Baker is an internationally known expert on farm succession planning. His 30 years of experience working with families on planning for the future has made him the "go-to" guy on farm transitions. Many families took advantage of this rare opportunity to get extensive assistance and hands-on help with developing your farm succession plan during the four-day workshop in March at the Villa Maria in Frontenac. Thanks to all who attended, and we hope your farm transition is coming together.
Remember, we are always here to help. Email email@example.com or call 612.910.7601.

In astrology, a horoscope is a chart or diagram representing the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, the astrological aspects, and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a person's birth. The word horoscope is derived from Greek words meaning "a look at the hours" (horoskopos, pl. horoskopoi, or "marker(s) of the hour.") Other commonly used names for the horoscope in English include astrological chart, astro-chart, celestial map, sky-map, star-chart, cosmogram, vitasphere, radical chart, radix, chart wheel, or simply chart.

Architecture, Compilers, and Parallel Computing
As we approach the end of Moore's Law, and as mobile devices and cloud computing become pervasive, all aspects of system design—circuits, processors, memory, compilers, programming environments—must become more energy efficient, resilient, and programmable.
Our research groups explore energy efficiency via low-voltage design techniques, specialized hardware accelerators, adaptive runtime techniques in high performance computing, efficient memory architectures for heterogeneous mobile systems, novel architectures for exascale systems, and other projects. We examine resilience through tolerating variation during chip fabrication, failure-tolerant processor architectures, scalable resilience protocols, and automated software debugging and recovery techniques. We explore programmability through architectural support for synchronization, automatic parallelization and vectorization, performance-portability for heterogeneous mobile systems, high-performance implementations of scripting languages, and highly scalable parallel run-time systems.
In addition to collaborating with major companies, our software artifacts like LLVM and Charm++ are widely used in industry, government labs, and academic research.

Mechanical Complications during Endoscopic Scoliosis Surgery
Crawford, John R., Izatt, Maree T., Adam, Clayton J., Labrom, Robert D., & Askin, Geoffrey N. (2006) Mechanical Complications during Endoscopic Scoliosis Surgery. In McPhee, Bruce (Ed.) Spine Society of Australia, April 28-30, 2006, Sydney, Australia.

Endoscopic scoliosis surgery can be complicated by rod breakage. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of rod breakage on clinical outcome and to determine any predisposing factors.
We studied 83 consecutive patients that had undergone endoscopic correction for scoliosis. Patients were assessed pre-operatively and at regular intervals for up to three years post-operatively. Those patients sustaining rod breakages were compared with those that did not. Clinical outcome was assessed using the Scoliosis Research Society outcome instrument (SRS-24). Radiological assessment included coronal Cobb angles and the angle between adjacent screws.
There were 13 (15.7%) patients sustaining 16 rod breaks at a mean time from operation of 21.5 months. No significant change in Cobb angle occurred after rod breakage (mean 18.3 vs 19.7 degrees), p>0.05. Comparing patients with and without rod breaks we found no difference in SRS-24 scores for pain (4.30 vs 4.39), self image (3.50 vs 3.70), function (3.56 vs 3.35) or patient satisfaction (4.22 vs 4.58). There was no significant difference in screw angle for those patients that developed rod breakages (mean 3.2 vs 2.7 degrees). Significantly more breakages occurred with rib (11/40) and iliac crest (2/7) autograft compared with femoral allograft (0/36), p<0.01.
Rod breakage can occur following endoscopic scoliosis surgery. Our study shows that this is not associated with any significant loss of curve correction and has no effect on clinical outcome. Since changing to femoral allograft and by increasing the rod diameter no further rod breakages have occurred.

We'll discover you as much as 4 plumbers who specialise in your venture kind - in less than 24 hours. I needed to discover a plumber recently when the unnecessarily-exotic boiler in my rented house began leaking and releasing gas. I like the considered working with instead of towards aggressive plumbers in the area. I never knew 25th April was nationwide plumbers tape target day, though must ask if that is relevant to the US alone. I did a LOT of research earlier than trying the treatments instructed (by plumbers), they usually labored.
The topics for the purpose the apprentice plumbers purchase classroom coaching embody things like blue print finding out, drafting fundamentals, positioned chemistry and physics, maths, native plumbing rules, plumbing and being infected with security, and legislated tensing and plumbing legislation. The overall excess cost for the following few months (if you're going to transfer anyway) could also be a lot lower than the repairs steered by the first plumber you consulted. There are a lot of reasons to ask a plumber for proof of insurance coverage before hiring them for work in your property.
High quality - Once you approve to have the work completed, your AttaBoy plumber will get proper to work to complete the job efficiently and get the job accomplished proper the first time. Charges that plumbers cost can vary enormously not solely nationally but within the same city. Typically, a plumber may need to cut a gap in a ceiling, a flooring or a wall of a house or commercial constructing.
A lot of the plumbers listed in Finest Plumbers® provide fast, pleasant 24 hour emergency plumbing service. Pure Gas - Finally some plumbers prefer to work with pure fuel somewhat than water or sewage pipe methods. By no means be bored as a plumber- As a plumber you possibly can work with fuel piping, medical gas, water supply, waste water remedy, vacuum piping, underground utilities, residential service, residential and commercial building... the chances are countless. No matter what sort of system needs to be put in or repaired, a professional plumber should at all times carry out the work as they're skilled and may carry insurance should anything go incorrect.
The suit says that following the threats, the plumber was forced to close his doors and get out of Texas Metropolis as soon as the threats began coming in; he and his family and his workers have been, in fact, concerned for his or her security. The vehicle at the heart of the jihad truck lawsuit was shipped to Turkey after being auctioned, the legal filing by the Texas plumber maintains. The Aam plumber which got here on quick discover after getting a call from Delhi secretariat found the choke in CM's room has actually originated from PM's room.

The Great Divorce (edition 2009)
by C. S. Lewis
Work details
The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The allegory in it went over my head more often than in some of his other works, but it was interesting. Another one I'll have to try again with some kind of companion.
*Review written on February 18, 2016.*
I borrowed this from a friend. Took me forever to read it. And to be honest, I was disappointed.
First, C.S. Lewis chose a very interesting writing style with this book. First, all quotations are handled with single quotes (') rather than double quotes ("). This was sort of distracting, and when reading contractions (it's, they're, we'll, etc.), it was easy to misinterpret that single quote as the end of the quotation, even though it's in the middle of the contraction.
Second, I don't know what he was thinking, but when holding a dialogue between two individuals, one paragraph would generally, not always, mean one person was speaking. So, alternating paragraphs, meant alternating speakers. This is standard practice, however, he would only refer to who was speaking at the very beginning of the discussion. Rarely after that, would he remind you was talking at that paragraph. Because the characters in the book really don't have any distinct personality traits, you need to be paying sharp attention to the alternation of who is speaking, or it's lost, and you'll struggle with identifying who is who.
Aside from those literary criticisms, the book had some other issues. The narrator finds himself in some sort of waiting area, at a bus stop, in "grey town". It's not clear if this is Earth or Purgatory or even Hell itself (actually, it can't be Hell, because Hell is described as a state of mind, not a location). But, even though the queue is long, people are content with leaving the queue, which advances the narrator's position in the line, for some unknown reason.
Eventually, he gets on a bus, and lands in some sort of visual paradise, almost like a pleasant purgatory. Unfortunately, the landscape is harsh on his spirit body (the blades of grass like stiff knives, the water like hard glass, etc). So, while in this visual paradisaical purgatory, it's physically unpleasant.
The narrator meets some Spirits (people coming off the bus are called Ghosts), and these Spirits try to convince the Ghosts that they should enter Heaven, which is a physical location. So, this description of the afterlife consists of Hell as a state of mind, a "grey town" which much be the stereotypical Purgatory, a visual paradise, which must be a Purgatory version 2.0, and Heaven, which is a location in the mountains.
The crux of the book lies on the fact that people cannot give up their vices (mental, emotional, or physical), and need to learn how to become one with Love (which is described as God, then later God is a person, then not (it's all confusing)). Once they let go of these vices and become one with Love, they can enter the mountains, and go to Heaven.
My question is this- if Heaven can be reached by just walking up the mountains ... then why not just go there? I would think another bus would take them from Purgatory version 2.0 to Heaven, making it impossible to reach, without. And entrance to the bus would require a pass from a Spirit.
The book is all sorts of strange, and really doesn't go anywhere, or come to any conclusions. Just a bunch of Ghosts rambling on to Spirits why they cannot go to Heaven and become one with Love. Oh, that reminds me, the Spirits are all naked. Until they're not. Then they are again. Yeah. I dunno.
I wouldn't recommend this book. It's an odd explanation to sky fairies, the afterlife, hauntings, Hell Purgatories, Heaven, etc.
One of the few Lewis books I can honestly say I did not like.
The rather obscure and and confused conclusions of the book make for a rather unrewarding read.
Most troubling however, were the implied beliefs in purgatory and universalism on the part of the author.
Such apparenly drastic deviation from scripural teaching and doctrine on the part of such a respected and influential Christian author could be shocking, to say the least.
Due to this, 'The Great Divorce' is not a book I would recommend.
This book was a little hard to read, since it was written in an old fashion "language", but it was short. It kind of reminded me of some of the weird dreams I have. I can't say I understood most of it, but perhaps my mind will continue to process it all.
This is story is about a bus trip from hell to heaven. The passengers are allowed to stay, and all but one of them chooses to go home. I'd never before thought that people might choose to leave heaven, but Lewis depicts very well the types of pride that might lure one into preferring a reign in hell over servitude in heaven. Hell is depicted here as a very lonely place, a haven of solipsists. People who wouldn't want to be in heaven if it's a place where God forgives people like [insert here someone you loath or despise].

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060652950, Paperback)The Great Divorce is C.S. Lewis's Divine Comedy: the narrator bears strong resemblance to Lewis (by way of Dante); his Virgil is the fantasy writer George MacDonald; and upon boarding a bus in a nondescript neighborhood, the narrator is taken to Heaven and Hell. The book's primary message is presented with almost oblique tidiness--"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'" However, the narrator's descriptions of sin and temptation will hit quite close to home for many readers. Lewis has a genius for describing the intricacies of vanity and self-deception, and this book is tremendously persistent in forcing its reader to consider the ultimate consequences of everyday pettiness. --Michael Joseph Gross
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:07:51 -0400)
A symbolic fantasy which finds a busload of condemned ghosts faced with the choice of giving up their cherished sins to enter the gates of Paradise.

The Dirty Dozen, by Robert A. Levy & William Mellor. Sentinel Publishing, 2008. 302 pages.
This book is a compilation and analysis of the 12 worst, in terms of expanding the government's influence and eroding citizens' rights, U.S. Supreme Court decisions since 1937.
Number 6 on the list is United States v. Miller (1939), the most significant gun rights ruling in the 20th century. (The book was published before the Court ruled on D.C. v. Heller.)
The authors, who are both pro-gun, thoroughly analyze Miller in four parts:
● What is the Constitutional issue?
● What were the facts?
● Where did the Court go wrong?
● What are the implications?
This is highly recommended reading. Best of all, it's written in plain language, not legalese. It's available from Amazon, or look for it in your local library.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,

And go to your God like a soldier.

The Obligation of Business
Back in February, President Obama let businesses know what he thought. In a radio address rebuke he said,
"If we make America the best place to do business, businesses should make their mark in America. They should se
t up shop here, and hire our workers, and pay decent wages and invest in the future of this nation. That's their obligation."
Um…Mr. President, have you talked to the business community lately? In the midst of wrangling over the debt ceiling, the president would like to raise taxes while agreeing to a smidgeon of spending cuts. No need to raise taxes; they are automatically on the way up beginning 2012, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Many tax cuts that were temporarily extended for businesses will expire at the end of tax year 2011. Thus, there is hope for the people who regularly accuse the wealthy (the current definition of "wealthy" is households earning $250,000 or more) of not paying their "fair share." But as I have mentioned time and time again, many of these wealthy households are small business owners who report pass-through income on their personal income tax returns. So what tax breaks will businesses not expect to find in their New Year's goody bag? Among them:
- The depreciation bonus for capital expenditures will fall from 100 percent in 2011 to 50 percent in 2012.
- Those who purchase qualified business stock and hold it for at least five years currently pay zero capital gains tax; that rate is scheduled to increase to 14 percent.
Businesses have been the target of a bit
of frustration among the voters as well. Some advocates of "fairness" say that since Congress has been generous enough to extend these benefits to them at the expense of the middle class, why are they sitting on piles of cash and doing little to get the unemployment rate down? The answer is…they're not stupid. Not only will these short-term tax cuts expire for them (and whether they will be extended is anybody's guess), but more significantly, the health reform law (PPACA) will increase their cost of hiring, according to the National Federation of Independent Business. Furthermore, as NCPA pointed out last year, the bizarre tax incentives of PPACA will discourage firms from growing.
So in light of the tax and regulatory hammer that is about to fall on businesses, what kind of obligation do they really have? The obligation they have is to themselves and this usually means, according to traditional economic theory, maximizing profits. Without sounding elementary here, maximizing profits allows firms to 1) reap a return on their investment that often incentivizes them to invest more, 2) invest more through purchasing capital and hiring workers, which in turn, 3) expands their market for goods through growing their business and expanding their consumer base. And when they stay afloat and free from the heavy hand of government, everybody benefits.
What part of this is so difficult for the White House to understand?

Louise Misha Fall/Winter 2016
Escape to the joyful universe of the Louise Misha fall/winter 2016 collection and watch sunshine flood your wardrobe and warm the dreariest of days. Winter drab has no place in this fanciful world of subtle hues, precious embroideries and delicate details: Flowery motifs, fine lace, sensual silk and filmy wool in shades of sage, creamy white, rosewood, bordeaux and peacock blue. A touch of gold here, a little pompom there, some tassels, a few fringes. And of course, some fuzzy socks to keep your toes warm and a wooly hat to top it all off. Here the winter blues take on a totally different meaning in the form of an embroidered dress or a frilly blouse layered under a shaggy vest, a nomadic style cape or a wooly cardigan. In the bohemian and romantic world of Louise Misha, the days are cosy and filled with poetry, light and endless pleasures.

In a devastating day for golf, the Perth International will be scrapped this year and the country's blue-ribbon event, the Australian Open, has been put back by three weeks.
The Open has been moved, following a request by Channel Seven, to avoid a direct clash with the 2003 Davis Cup tennis final between Australia and Spain.
The Perth International, Western Australia's new $1.5 million golf tournament, has been plagued with problems and the latest development is clearly due in part to a lack of a sponsor.
Australian Golf Union executive director Colin Phillips declined to comment last night. It is understood that the Open, originally scheduled for November 27-30 at Moonah Links, on the Mornington Peninsula, will now be played from December 18-21.
Channel Seven holds the rights to the Davis Cup and the Open. It is understood that Tennis Australia was unwilling to schedule the Davis Cup at night to avoid a clash with the golf. Seven has decided the tennis will take precedence over the golf for television purposes.
The change of date means that the Open no longer clashes with the Sun City Challenge, and that Robert Allenby, Adam Scott, Stephen Leaney and Stuart Appleby could possibly be available to play.
The Open will become the Australasian tour's final event of the year, following the Australian PGA title a week earlier.
In the ratings-driven TV world, Channel Seven opted for the tennis after Lleyton Hewitt's extraordinary comeback in the Davis Cup semi-final last Sunday, which was watched by an estimated 1.2 million audience.
The decision to can the Perth tournament, due to be played at Lake Karrinyup from November 13-16, will be a massive loss to WA.
Promoter IMG entered an agreement with the State Government, through Events Corp, to run a major tournament in Perth for five years. In 2002 and 2003, that event was the Johnnie Walker Classic, worth $2.5 million and jointly owned by IMG and the whisky brand's parent company, Diageo.
The International was to be the third of the five events. No major players have been announced, however, although a few top Australians such as Craig Parry and Stephen Leaney had indicated interest in playing.
No naming-rights sponsor has been signed, although IMG remained confident until very recently that one would soon climb aboard.
The official announcement will mean that no sponsor came forward and, facing huge losses, the State Government and IMG have decided not to run the event this year, leaving another hole in the golfing calendar.
The Australian Open has been similarly blighted, struggling to get sponsors and begging top players to play. The logistics of moving the Open are enormous. Players have their plans set months in advance. Tent hire. Catering. Signage. Volunteers. All have to change.
It is the latest blow to the Open, which lost plenty of credibility last year at Melbourne's Victoria Club when the greens were made so slick that the first day's play had to be abandoned.

The next general election must not be fought "in the gutter", Ed Miliband said today as his row escalated with the Daily Mail over its depiction of his father.
The Labour leader issued the warning as he stepped up his defence of his late father Ralph, a prominent Marxist intellectual, who was portrayed in the newspaper as a man who "hated Britain".
In an interview in the Evening Standard, Mr Miliband said: "Sometimes a line is crossed.
"The next election can't be fought in the gutter. The most important thing for me was to defend my dad."
He also told of his family's shock at the article, which he has denounced as a "lie", insisting his father "loved Britain" and stressing he would not "back away" in his fight with the Mail.
"You learn in this job that you have to do the right thing and stand up to the strong," he added.
But a senior Daily Mail executive defended the article on Ralph Miliband, a Jewish refugee who fled to Britain to escape the Nazis and who served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War.
Deputy editor Jon Steafel made clear that the paper stood by the article – which first appeared on Saturday – arguing that Ralph Miliband's writings showed that he was "very antipathetic" to the views and values of many British people.
"His views on British institutions from our schools to our royal family to our military to our universities to the church to our great newspapers ... what he said was that he felt that all of those things were bad aspects, were unfortunate aspects of British life," he said.
"If you take those things together and you combine them with an espousing of a Marxist ideology, that in our view represented someone who hated British values."
Mr Steafel insisted it was reasonable for the paper to highlight his views as he had played an important role in shaping his son's outlook and opinions.
But he accepted that the publication of a photograph of Ralph Miliband's grave alongside the online version of the article had been an "error of judgment" and that it has been removed when the Labour leader complained.
Mr Miliband, who has stressed that he does not share his father's Marxist ideology, can expect strong attacks by the Right-wing press ahead of the 2015 election.
Former Conservative Cabinet minister Lord Heseltine has also criticised the Daily Mail.
He told BBC2's Daily Politics: "This is carrying politics to an extent that is just demeaning, frankly. The headline isn't justified. It is completely out of context. As everybody knows the guy fought for this country and we now live in a totally different world to the clash between communism and fascism."
But Education Secretary Michael Gove stressed: "Newspapers shouldn't apologise to politicians for being robust..that's the price we pay for liberty"
Mr Gove though also said he understood Mr Miliband's decision to defend his father.

From Sean McAdam at Projo Soxblog
NASHVILLE — Just because the New York Yankees are out of the picture on Johan Santana doesn't mean the Red Sox necessarily have a clear path for the Twins' ace.
This afternoon the Twins were meeting with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who have jumped into the Santana negotiations at the eleventh hour. Previously, the Angels had been focusing on Florida Marlins third baseman Miguel Cabrera, but have been stuck trying to complete a deal.
There is said to be a division among Angels executives over which player to pursue — Cabrera or Santana.
The Twins have told the Angels that Jared Weaver would have to be part of a deal for Santana to give Minnesota another young starter as part of the mix. Other names expected to be talked about include shortstop prospect Brandon Wood.
The Twins and Red Sox have not spoken since early this morning.

Tale of two towns as Scottish independence shows social divide
By Belinda Goldsmith and Suzanne Plunkett
KILMARNOCK Scotland (Reuters) - With Edinburgh's old town abuzz with tourists and its trendy restaurants full, the Scottish capital has an air of prosperity that explains why so many of its residents are happy with their lot and unwilling to risk the changes independence may bring.
But in Kilmarnock, 50 miles (80 kms) west, it is a different story. The once proud industrial town has been named the worst place to live in Scotland, battling high unemployment and with pawnbrokers and discount stores dominating its shopping center.
The contrast between the two highlights the wide social divide among Scots ahead of a Sept. 18 referendum, when Scottish residents will decide whether to leave the United Kingdom after more than 300 years to become an independent country.
Although the nationalists are still behind, they have started to gain some ground in opinion polls this year, for the first time giving the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP) a chance to realize its 80-year-old dream of independence.
Opinion polls have shown residents of Scotland's most deprived neighborhoods are more likely to support independence but less likely to vote, making them a target group as both sides race to woo the undecided and typical non-voters.
While many in Edinburgh are worried about the risks that independence might bring, some residents of Kilmarnock see little to lose and believe change can only be for the good.
"It can't be any worse than it is just now," said Steven Campbell, 44, a firefighter, as he walked around the 14th Century Dean Castle on the outskirts of Kilmarnock with his wife Denise and newborn daughter Alexx.
Unlike Edinburgh, Kilmarnock would not be on many tourist schedules with little to celebrate in local industry. Its main attraction is the Burns Monument that commemorates poet Robert Burns, whose most famous work was published in the town. Continued...

HAHAHA! I know, I'm so sick of those damn Mannings getting all the attention! The Patriots and Brady have really flown under the radar this year thanks to the Manning family stealing their spotlight.
Doc wrote:First Patriots score - TD -190, Field goal or safety +155 - It seems most logical that the Pats will try to make a statement by scoring early. Given the price, though, it seems like decent value to bet that the Giants will be able to make a solid early stand bolstered by a fresh pass rush and hold New England to just a field goal.
Team to get first first down - New York +110, New England -140 - This is a different way to potentially extract value from the coin flip. If you are going to bet that the Giants will win the toss then you know that they will receive, so it seems like a reasonable bet that they will get a first down, and +110 is a lot nicer than -105.
First offense to cross 50-yard line - New York +120, New England -150 - Again, if you think that the Giants will win the toss you might like the better price by risking that they will get to midfield with their first possession.
First team to call a timeout - New York -120, New England -110 - It seems like a certainty that Manning will be more flustered than Brady, so I would be willing to bet that he will be forced to call a timeout to get himself under control first.
Will the game ever be tied after first score? - yes +130, no -160 - The Giants have been tied four times in three playoff games, and the Pats have had two tied scores in their two games. At +130 it seems worth a gamble that the teams will tie it up at some point here.
Which team will record the first sack? - New York +120, New England -150. Brady is tough to sack, but the Giants live and die by the pass rush, so they will be firing on all cylinders. It's worth a shot that they will succeed at the price.
Team to have most first downs in first quarter - New York (+2 -155), New England (-2, +125) - My vision of the game definitely has the Patriots settling down faster than the Giants and being more efficient early. That means that their price provides reasonable value here.
Double result - Giants win first half, Patriots win game - 5/1 - I am firm in my belief that the Patriots will win the game. There is a decent chance, though, that the Giants will take an early lead before the Patriots start firing. That's what happened last time the teams met, and at 5/1 it might be worth betting it will again. That's much more attractive than betting that the Pats will win the first half and the game - the odds there are 2/9.
Exact number of points scored by New York - 4 - 2000/1 - It is very unlikely that this will happen, but at this price I might put down a buck or two just in case it did happen. That would be three lifetimes worth of bragging rights.
Eli Manning's first pass will be? - complete 1/2, incomplete 8/5 - I think Manning will struggle early because the New England defense will be prepared and he will be overwhelmed by the setting. Given that, I love the price for an incompletion.
Will Brandon Jacobs score a touchdown? - yes +110, no -140 - Jacobs has scored in four of his last five games, including each playoff game. I'd be willing to bet that he will score here again at the price.
Will Tom Brady throw an interception? - yes +120, no -150 - Brady looked very shaky at times against San Diego. I'll take the juicy price to bet that he will have a non-Brady moment during this game and throw an interception, too. This is especially a good chance if the Giants' pass rush is working.
Will Randy Moss score two or more touchdowns? - yes +250, no -325 - Moss has not been good in the playoffs. I think he'll be motivated to change that. Moss has eight multi-touchdown games, including the last time he played the Giants. At this price I will happily risk that he will do it again. The conditions will be perfect for his success.
Will Wes Welker score a touchdown? - yes +105, no -135 - Welker has a touchdown in each of the playoff games. He's the most reliable target Brady has, and he will see lots of action on his short routes if the Giants can pass rush effectively. That will see him get the ball a lot, and could see him score. I'll bet on the positive price.
Stephen Gostkowski total points o/u 8.5 - over +110, under -140 - The last time the teams played the Pats kicker had 12 points. I don't expect the offense to be any less effective, so I could certainly see him go over again. The price is right.
Will Tom Brady throw an interception? - yes +120, no -150 - Brady looked very shaky at times against San Diego.

Either way I both look forward to the game and mourn the end of another season.

Biorecognition at the molecular level is a rapidly advancing technology that has enlisted the help of synthetic polypeptides to come up with the ultimate antibody.
The EU 'Synthetic superantibodies - Bioinspired engineering of artificial receptor structures' (Superantibodies) project merged two fundamental processes. Together, they have resulted in the development of synthetic receptors that favour selected biomolecular interactions such as antibody-antigen binding.
Combining materials science with molecular biotechnology has the potential to inject the wonders of unparalled biorecognition into non-biological materials. Generation of artificial affinity reagents with similar characteristics to antibodies would have a high degree of specificity and affinity with huge potential in the biotechnology field.

History was made on Monday, when the Augusta National Golf Club ended its longstanding policy that excluded women as members. The Club admitted former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and Business Executive Darla Moore of Lake City, South Carolina.
According to CNN,Augusta's membership, which includes titans of industry and finance, has been male-only since its opening in 1932. The policy, which had become a lightning rod issue, had been upheld as recent as April when Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, said the issue was a private matter.
"This is a joyous occasion as we enthusiastically welcome Secretary Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore as members of Augusta National Golf Club," Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, said in a statement. "We are fortunate to consider many qualified candidates for membership at Augusta National. Consideration with regard to any candidate is deliberate, held in strict confidence and always takes place over an extended period of time. The process for Condoleezza and Darla was no different."
