Despite all his talk of repealing and replacing the misnamed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told an audience September 19 that he takes it as "a compliment" when President Barack Obama calls him "the grandfather of ObamaCare."
Appearing at a Univision "Meet the Candidate" forum, Romney touted his own "experience in healthcare reform." That, of course, would be the 2006 healthcare law that Romney signed into law as governor of Massachusetts. That law mandated that all residents carry health insurance or pay a tax penalty and that insurers not discriminate against individuals with pre-existing conditions. It also set up a state insurance exchange and subsidized insurance premiums for those unable to afford them on their own.
If that sounds like ObamaCare, that's because it is. In fact, Obama specifically modeled his plan on Romney's, even going so far as to consult former Romney advisers about how to take Romneycare nationwide. One of those former advisers, MIT economist Jon Gruber, told Newsweek that Romney is "the one person who deserves the most credit for the national plan we ended up with." Thus, while Obama was undoubtedly playing politics when he credited Romney with siring the prototype for the Affordable Care Act, he was also telling the truth.
After mentioning his own healthcare-reform credentials, Romney continued: "Now and then the president says I'm the grandfather of ObamaCare. I don't think he meant that as a compliment but I'll take it."
Romney had a bit of a smile on his face, as if he were saying that in jest. Yet the next words out of his mouth indicated otherwise: "This was during my primary; we thought it might not be helpful." In other words, when he had to win the votes of the conservative base of the Republican Party, he felt obliged to pretend that he had nothing at all to do with ObamaCare and, in fact, loathed it. Now that the GOP is stuck with him, he can admit that he really is honored to have had a hand in foisting that unconstitutional monstrosity on the country — no great shock considering he once declared that RomneyCare should be "a model for the nation" and later urged Obama to use the Massachusetts law as a template for his own.
"I've actually been able to put in place a system that fit the needs of the people of my state," Romney added, "and I'm proud of the fact that in my state, after our plan was put in place, every child has insurance, 98 percent of adults have insurance, but we didn't have to cut Medicare by $716 billion to do that. We didn't raise taxes on health companies by $500 billion as the president did."
While no one can deny that Bay Staters are among the most insured people in the nation, there is reason to question whether this is, as Romney would have it, a victory for the free market (aided by government mandates). According to CBS News, "Of the 439,000 previously uninsured Massachusetts residents who obtained insurance after the reform became law, 83 percent did through publicly-funded programs, such as Commonwealth Care and MassHealth. Federal Medicaid funds underwrite about half the state's cost."
That is, Romney's great "success" in getting Massachusetts residents insured has come about almost exclusively through government spending, half of which was supplied by Uncle Sam. This is the only reason Massachusetts was able to implement its plan without major tax increases. (The observant reader will recognize a subtle shift in Romney's rhetoric since the Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate is a tax; Romney now says merely that he didn't hike healthcare business taxes, not that he didn't raise taxes at all.) If this is the prototype for ObamaCare, U.S. taxpayers are in deep trouble.
Romney then went on to explain how he would replace ObamaCare: "We're going to give you the Medicaid dollars you've had in the past, plus grow them with inflation, plus one percent, and you as the states are now going to be given targets to move people towards insurance, and you craft programs that are right for your state."
Here Romney obliquely hinted at the fact that the Massachusetts plan was financed by Medicaid. More importantly, he laid out at least part of his plan to replace ObamaCare: Increase federal healthcare spending and force states to get their citizens insured. Unlike ObamaCare, this, he would have us believe, is constitutional and indeed the very essence of federalism:
The idea of a federal government stepping in, and telling people, here's the kind of insurance you have to have. You don't get the choice of whether you want comprehensive or whether you want catastrophic. The government is going to tell you what you have to have. The government is going to ultimately have a board that tells you what kind of care you can receive. That in my opinion is not the right way to go on healthcare.
The approach that I would propose is one that would give individuals choice as opposed to government choice. That's going to get our people insured and will keep the cost of healthcare from going through the roof as it has been, and I believe it will allow people to continue to have the relationship with their doctor and their provider that they want.
Of course, Romney's approach would simply shift the role of healthcare dictator from Washington to state capitals, which may be somewhat federalist but is still a bad idea. States would mandate that their citizens purchase insurance and — as they already do to a large extent — what that insurance must cover, with Washington (read: taxpayers) footing the bill. Undoubtedly the federal government would establish some basic rules for this insurance, and over time those rules would become just as onerous as those being established under ObamaCare today.
Moreover, this would not, as Romney suggested, "keep the cost of healthcare from going through the roof" or prevent the government from dictating "what kind of care you can receive." Romneycare has done the exact opposite for Massachusetts residents. Per capita health spending in the Bay State is now 27 percent higher than the national average, and insurance premiums are double the national average. Costs have gotten so far out of hand that the state recently imposed price controls on healthcare providers; and to enforce these price controls the legislature created an independent state agency — "a board that tells you what kind of care you can receive."
Romney, therefore, is wrong to take any pride in being either "the grandfather of ObamaCare" or the father of Romneycare. Just as surely as the latter has reduced liberty and increased healthcare costs and government control over medicine in Massachusetts, so will the former do across the entire country.

Yeah, it´s often the case with 'remastered' old records that the new mixes appear compressed to death or turn out to be simply just louder than the original, but the mixes by Steven Wilson are really exeptional - I got a bunch of 70ies prog-rock-stuff he 'remixed' (including Yes, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull etc.) - he manages to make it sound better in every way without touching the original way it was intended to sound, and without turning up the volume-level or make it sound compressed or clipping. Instead you can clearly hear every voice and instrument - surely the best remasters (or 'remixes') I ever heard from old records.

Facebook is setting its sights on its next five billion users -- even if they don't yet have Internet access. On Tuesday evening, Mark Zuckerberg announced a partnership between Facebook and some of the world's largest technology companies to bring the Internet to the parts of the world that don't have it.
Called Internet.org, the social network has joined forces with Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, Ericsson and others to bring web access to the five billion people, primarily in developing countries, that don't own smartphones or have access to affordable connectivity.
"There are huge barriers in developing countries to connecting and joining the knowledge economy," Zuckerberg said in a statement. "Internet.org brings together a global partnership that will work to overcome these challenges, including making internet access available to those who cannot currently afford it."
According to the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals report, 2.7 billion people or 39 percent of the world's population will be on the Internet before the end of 2013.
In a proposal entitled "Is Connectivity a Human Right?" Zuckerberg lays out his plans for the organization and its solutions to equipping the rest of the world with the tools to connect with each other and gain access to the world's greatest repository of information. The "rough plan" focuses on spreading connectivity through mobile devices with three main "levers."
First, the companies together plan to make Internet access more affordable through building out more economical and efficient networks. Secondly, it plans to have phones and devices use less data by creating more efficient apps and software. And lastly, it plans to help businesses in the areas drive Internet access through more awareness.
The Internet.org announcement comes just a few months after Google's announcement of its Project Loon, which aims to bring connectivity to the rest of the world through Internet-equipped balloons. Announced in June, Google has begun testing the balloons in New Zealand and more recently in Northern California. Just this month Bill Gates criticized the project, saying that fighting malaria was more important.
"When you're dying of malaria, I suppose you'll look up and see that balloon, and I'm not sure how it'll help you. When a kid gets diarrhea, no, there's no website that relieves that," Gates told Bloomberg Businessweek in an interview.
However, it is clear that the current tech leaders in Silicon Valley don't share Gates' attitude about closing the digital divide. Zuckerberg specifically feels that connectivity is more than a privilege.
"There is no guarantee that most people will ever have access to the internet," he writes in the proposal. "It isn't going to happen by itself. But I believe connectivity is a human right, and that if we work together we can make it a reality."

An Atlantic City casino can control how much weight that its cocktail servers gain.
A state judge says the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa's rules are reasonable.
Twenty-two servers, known as "Borgata Babes," objected to the policy, which prohibited the 'Babes' from gaining more than 7 percent of their original body weight. They said the casino only attempted to enforce it on female servers.
"I think it's way too stringent," said former "Borgata Babe" Rene Gaud. "I think it's a way to get rid of the older girls."
The Press of Atlantic City reports the judge found the rule would be considered sexist if the policy targeted female servers only or punished a trait in one sex over another.
The judge found neither was evident in the case and instead said that maintaining a certain weight is part of what the women agreed to do as entertainers.
"I couldn't agree more," said Sean Murphy of Atlantic City. "It's a marketing business. You gotta sell yourself."
"It's kind of 50/50," said Stephanie Murphy. "If they were hired knowing that they had to maintain a certain appearance and they didn't, that's one thing."
Others disagreed however.
"Skinny girls aren't in style no more," said Tanya Myers. "They like the big and thick chicks!"
While the judge said the Borgata's rules aren't discriminatory, some potential customers are still calling for a change in attitude.
"Just because you're big, doesn't mean you're not a babe," said Karen Myers.
"I'm fat," said Jessenia Rodriguez while laughing. "I don't want to be fired because of it."

Police Officers Needed
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Police departments need more officers. They are trying to hire more people to work for them. They are having a hard time finding good workers.
One reason is money. New police officers do not make much money compared to other jobs. Many people that might want to become police officers choose other jobs because they will make more money.
Another reason police departments are having a difficult time is that it can be hard to qualify for the job. People that are trying to become officers need to pass many tests. These tests are not always easy.
One of the tests given is to see how honest the applicants are. These people also have to take drug tests. Many of them do not pass these tests.
Lots of people that want to become police officers are not qualified for the job. They cannot pass all of the tests. Many different departments try to get the few qualified applicants to work for them.
(This was adapted from an original story provided by News10 KXTV Sacramento.)

A site called Date a Gamer has just gone live in the UK, with a "particular slant for helping Gamers hook up".
"Whether you want to date an online player, meet up with fellow geeks, or get some nookie just before you get into another Call of Duty session - this is your site!", a blurb on its front page reads.
"Gaming is hot. So don't stay single any longer. Come in and play."
It's free to join. So I joined. Don't tell my wife.
What I found was, whaddyaknow, not much of a dating site for gamers. Most profiles seemed to belong to women aged between 30-60, and there's not a single mention of video games to be found in them, either as a designated response or as part of their self-written descriptions.
So, yeah, it's just a gaming shell for an existing service. Sorry, desperate and dateless British gamers. You're going to have to stick to hooking up in a forum or over instant messaging. You know. The old-fashioned way.

Yankees sign Marte for 3 years with one year club option
Good start for Yankees this important off-season.
8 comments:
I wasn't impressed with Marte. As a set-up/lefty specialist, he might thrive. I don't understand how he could have been a closer, way too inconsistent. He and Bruney will be a formidable left/righty bridge to Mariano. I wish Chamerblain would remain in a relief role, to solidify the back end, and shorten games for us. Kudos to you for being on top of this story, and Cashman's mind-set. i didn't foresee such a long contract.

Fortunately for us, we have Mo, so we don't have to worry about how he handle with closer role. I can't image the day we don't have Mo.
Based on the interview Joe Girardi did with WFAN few days ago, I think the role Joba will be depended on how Yankees sign starting pitchers this off-sesaon. If we get enough starting pitchers, Joba may move back to bullpen.
That being said, I have faith in how Girardi handle with bullpen even if he doesn't have Joba in the bullpen.
It's much easier to get someone to pitch well in one inning than 6 or 7 innings. we have a lot of young talent pitchers on the minor league. We may get another Joba soon.
Let me assure we add CC and A.J Burnett to go with Wang, Pettitte and Joba as no.5 starter. There are potential 950 innings among our big 5 if they all stay healthy. We may not need bullpen that much.
Let Joba pitch his 150 innings with Hughes for spot starts and see what they can do.
We know Joba can handle Closer role if we need him in that role in the future. However, Mo is still Mo. Worry about that when we get there.
- November 13, 2008 at 9:46 AM
Hopefully Mo will come back in mid-season form, and not have any set backs. If he an Posada are not healthy right away, we will be in serious trouble. Regardless of the free agents we get. Coming back, and regaining your skills after surgery is not a given. Just ask me! lol.. Hank has stated Joba will start. I hope Mo comes back as Mo.
- November 13, 2008 at 10:21 AM
- Jessica Lee said...
That's is so true. I concern about the healthy status of Joba, Mo, Posada and Wang. We need them all healthy next season.
Are you hurt? Do you get a surgery? Are you ok?
- November 13, 2008 at 9:54 PM
I just got into a car accident about 3 weeks ago, and I've broken my ankle playing football, and separated my shoulder playing baseball in high school. (I have videos of a couple of at bats, me and my teammates playing baseball on my facebook page, if you wanted to witness some americans in high school and a few at bats. ) So I know what surgery is like, and how rehab and recovery doesn't always go as planned. I've still got pain in a shoulder thats been twice operated on. And I'm an outfielder not a pitcher! lol.. so i know minor reconstructive/repair surgeries. Lets just hope that Mo & Po combo gets back 100% on opening day. If you'll recall last season, POsada exacerbated with situation by trying to play

I know it's not easy. I wish you best. I went to your facebook and saw those clips. I don't know that's you.
Even though I don't have the experience you have, my older sister broke her leg few years ago and I know how hard for her to recover.
That's why I the main concern I have for this off-season is not free agent signing, it's the Wang, Joba, Posada and Mo can recover completely.
- November 14, 2008 at 6:05 AM
I was the bigger of the two black kids on the team. The one without the braids. This bullpen might add aceves, and coke. I hope edwar ramirez, and jose veras bounce back and have good years. Maybe they hit a wall later in the season due to inexperience. But either way, they were dreadful down the stretch
- November 14, 2008 at 7:24 AM

They are not consistent for sure. We have a lot of options in the bullpen. Someone will step up for sure. Not to mention we have more from the minor. Our bullpen is in great shape. It's amazing turnaround for our bullpen.

Sword Art Online 2/17 Event Discussion 2Post Reply
So what does everyone think will go down at the event planned for SAO on the 17th this month? Announcement of a new Anime Season? The Light novels coming to America? A reboot of the first season for more depth on the anime at it's core? Sugu winning Kirito over?? lol probably not... but... So many possibilities! Let me hear your thoughts and if you have a whole new theory, let's hear it!
Always protect that something important to you.
I feel that it would probably be a recap of the time in sao and alo but instead of stopping hopefully they will make the phantom bullet into another season and then in the best reality continue to make the rest of the light novels into an amazing and successful anime just like the first season
Hey I am unable to create a topic but I really need to know this. So, If I am breaking any rules I apologize in advance.
I am playing Sword art online infinity moment and I am at level 79 it is japanese so I dont understand the text.
Under Guild I found 3 sections I have already cleared all the floors but my Quest section is not cleared.
If only i knew what my quest for lvl79 is I could try clearing it.
If either anyone has played it? or better if anyone could translate it that would be nice
Thank you you all in advance
I sympathize your plight seeking game tips or info. I assume that there're so many games that it'd crunch Crunchyroll's already overwhelming demands just serving anime and manga. Hopefully there'll be an equivalent "Gamers Crunchyroll" site to serve Engllish (and other) fans because it is frustrating not to understand the conversations going on in these games as well! Till then we can only glean tips from Youtube for what that's worth. Good Luck!
I saw some bed scenes from an online Sword Art game. I didn't get it. Does he have sex with those women?

As with the choice of the right tablet, the decision to find the right accessory is also important. For some, the ideal iPad Air case is perhaps the right choice for the other, the iPad Air Case. We clarify:
We have a custom-fit iPad Air sleeve and an iPad Air bag with room for documents, charging cables and more. The precisely fitting case provides space for tablet and Apple Pencil, is lined with natural wool felt and ensures optimal all-round protection. The leather case with space can be used in a variety of ways and serves not only as an iPad Air 2019 sleeve, but also as a bag for other moments. Everything in and zip. Optically, it also fits every occasion. For some order inside, make a small separate pouch.
Our bag is not made specifically for the iPad Air 2019, but a leather business bag, which optimally stows the iPad Air and also offers space for notebooks up to 13-inches, along with storage space for charging cables, documents, pens and more.
Granted, cases are a dime a dozen, as well as bags and cases, but our iPad Air case is something very special. A pure handmade product, which is manufactured here in the Düsseldorf media harbor in a traditional bookbinding manner. The iPad Air Case is sturdy, yet lightweight, and offers tailored protection, as well as a workstation-to-go. Just open, fold, work.
Although our products are very different, they all have a lot in common. They are made of vegetable-tanned cowhide. A leather that has not been pseudo-refined and reflects a perfect skin that is full of toxic pollutants, but a leather that is free of polluting chemicals and tells of the past of the cow. Dyed, as gentle as possible, our leather not only flatters your iPad Air, but also your skin. Between earth, vintage and night you have to decide with us, which is difficult, because the leather colors are all beautiful. As soft as the leather itself and so open-pored that it quickly reveals not only the story of the cow, but soon your own, because after a short time of use, the leather develops a user-specific patina that your germanmade. Make a product unique.
Our iPad Air 10.5 "cases, on the other hand, are made from natural leather-impregnated book cloths. Here you are spoiled for choice, the color options are varied. But if you want it to fit, for example with its Organizer (LINK) or the iPhone case (LINK), the iPad Air Cases are also available in leather.
We are called germanmade, because all our products are made in Germany. Here is our personal origin. We like to promote the domestic economy, the short communication channels, the quick accessibility and last but not least the quality offered by our manufactories. Our way is confirmed, because we have been around for over 8 years now. In such a highly competitive market, no ease, but we remain true to and appreciate our customers.
Looking for personalized iPad Air products? No problem! We can do that. Whether by laser beam or hot stamping we bring to the iPad Air products what you want and the space gives. Also larger quantities, individually made products, corporate gifts, a cigar case for the grandfather, the knitting needles bag for the grandmother, the ring pillow for the wedding. What can I do for you? There is not, there is not. Sometimes it's not worth it, but we talk about it. Just ask us.

9th April 2017
Chief Client Officer, Danica Ross reflects on brand communication in an age of transparency.
#LeggingsGate, Pepsi… it seems otherwise-respected brands are increasingly suffering from "foot in mouth disease." Why?
Largely because they've failed to adapt to the new era of transparency, in which brands, corporations and individuals are publicly held to account via social media. And brands that fail to take this expectation of transparency and ethical behavior into account do so at their own peril.
If brands do something offensive or insensitive they will be pilloried – and rightly so. But what about those brands that were well-meaning, but mis-stepped?
Let's look at Pepsi. The tone-deaf ad, featuring Kendall Jenner and apparently making serious protest look like nothing more than a fun day out, prompted justifiable outrage in many quarters. Others have said, "I'm not offended, it's just laughable to insinuate that a carbonated soft drink can solve all of our problems." I'm sure Pepsi intended it to be their version of the seminal 1971 Cocoa-Cola ad, I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke. But while many have drawn parallels between the America of today (Trump, Russia scandal, Vietnam demonstrations…) with the America of then (Nixon, Watergate scandal, Black Lives Mater demonstrations and women's marches…) we live in a different era. The two ads may not be so different in their intent, but the 40 plus years that separate them have seen a huge change in the mindset of the consumer, and, through technology, in their ability to engage with brands in real time.
Now let's turn to #LeggingsGate, the lessons from which I addressed here, at the time. At the heart of the issue was a dress code that said people flying as representatives of the airline need to dress 'professionally' – for lack of a better word. This isn't a bad thing. But, alas, it was mis-enforced, and United did mis-step, making the well-intentioned policy appear not only sexist, but faintly ludicrous into the bargain. More importantly, they did so in front of someone who was quick to call the airline out via Twitter.
And therein lies the danger. We live in a society where people are quick to judge, and quick to tweet, and reputations can be damaged in no time. No matter that United's policy was well-intentioned; no matter that Pepsi's ad was well-intentioned. What matters is the perception.
So, what's a brand to do? Cyber security experts know that one of the best ways to ensure something is hack-proof is to hire a hacker to build or test it. And surely that is the lesson for brands – to stress test things with the people in the room who are most likely to arch an eyebrow and say, "Really? Have you thought about how this will look?". A Chief Cynical Officer, if you will. And in my experience, the person best qualified to fulfil that role is usually the PR person. Because you can be sure it's they who are cleaning up the mess at United Airlines and Pepsi right now.

Bottega Veneta Snakeskin Shoulder BagCategories:Other Brands
The simplest shoulder bag shape gets a major kick with some unexpected stylistic details, courtesy of Bottega Veneta. As a brand especially known for their unyielding attention to fine detail, that's no surprise. But this bag is highly sleek, modernistic, and noticeably free of intrecciato – and that is something of a twist for the house.
Slim, sharp cutouts of snakeskin come in a pattern that reminds me of backgammon, and the little bit of PVC that peeks out from the slits is genius. This playful touch ensures you won't look too serious; otherwise, you'd have a hard time finding the right occasion for a bag with such a grown-up, sophisticated feel. Get seriously organized with the three internal compartments and a back pocket, while you revel in the truly gorgeous color. This deep hue, reminiscent of the ocean at midnight, is just right for wearing with darks, thanks to the black undertones. The same goes with fall's neutrals. This is as evergreen as colors get for year-round use. Bottega Veneta bag

Kim Kardashian Braves Slippery Sidewalks in Snakeskin LouboutinsCategories:Designer Shoes
Kim Kardashian has no problem getting her hands on rare designer pumps and right-off-the-runway styles, but these snakeskin Louboutins are truly a puzzle. Here's Kim, leaving her NYC apartment in Christian Louboutin Bis Un Bout Snakeskin Pumps. We can't find any evidence that these shoes actually exist, aside from the fact that they've magically appeared on Kim's feet. While we investigate further, you can shop a broad selection of readily available Louboutins.
There are several possible explanations for the existence of these snakeskin pumps. Kim might've ordered these custom, or they could've been a sample sent to her by the brand in seasons past that was never produced for the public. It's also possible that the Bis Un Bout, which is not currently produced by CL, is coming back to the brand's collection in the near future, and this is a sample of a coming style. We'll be keeping our ear to the ground.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Waterford's Mill Ledger
Nathan Walker purchased the Waterford mill in 1848 from Thomas Phillips. He continued to record his accounts in Phillips's mill ledger. A Quaker, he did not believe in honoring Roman gods through the common names of the months, so he referred to the months by numbers. For example, "1st month" meant January and "6th month" meant June.
Of special interest is the variety of products produced by the mill. The plaster mentioned is ground limestone, which was spread on fields to improve the soil. A "cord" is a unit of measurement of firewood: 4' x 4' x 8' or 128 cubic feet.
Questions for Reading 3
1. The wheat that was planted, mowed, and threshed in Reading 2 has been ground into its finished product, flour, in this reading. Why is this flour being shipped out of Waterford?
2. How many barrels of flour were hauled to Point of Rocks from the 1st of January to the 20th of August, 1849?
3. Point of Rocks was a town not much larger than Waterford. Why did the people of Waterford haul flour 10 miles and ferry it across the Potomac River to Point of Rocks? (If needed, refer to Map 1.)
4. If three tons of plaster costs $3 to haul, and a "load of planks" costs $4 to haul, calculate the probable weight of a "load of planks."
5. If the hauling rate was $1 per ton, and it costs $4 to haul 20 barrels of flour, calculate the weight of a barrel of flour.
Reading 3 was compiled from the mill ledger of Thomas Phillips, courtesy of descendant Anne Stabler Parsons. Copies are available at Waterford Foundation Archives and Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, Virginia.

WASHINGTON — Americans would be fined up to $3,800 for failing to buy health insurance under a plan that circulated in Congress on Tuesday as divisions among Democrats undercut President Barack Obama's effort to regain traction on his health care overhaul.
As Obama talked strategy with Democratic leaders at the White House, the one idea that most appeals to his party's liberal base lost ground in Congress. Prospects for a government-run plan to compete with private insurers sank as a leading moderate Democrat said he could no longer support the idea.
The fast-moving developments put Obama in a box. As a candidate, he opposed fines to force individuals to buy health insurance, and he supported setting up a public insurance plan. On Tuesday, fellow Democrats publicly begged to differ on both ideas.
Democratic congressional leaders put on a bold front as they left the White House after their meeting with the president.
"We're re-energized; we're ready to do health care reform," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., insisted the public plan is still politically viable. "I believe that a public option will be essential to our passing a bill in the House of Representatives," she said.
After a month of contentious forums, Americans were seeking specifics from the president in his speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night. So were his fellow Democrats, divided on how best to solve the problem of the nation's nearly 50 million uninsured.
The latest proposal: a 10-year, $900-billion bipartisan compromise that Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., a moderate who heads the influential Finance Committee, was trying to broker. It would guarantee coverage for nearly all Americans, regardless of medical problems.
But the Baucus plan also includes the fines that Obama has rejected. In what appeared to be a sign of tension, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs pointedly noted that the administration had not received a copy of the plan before it leaked to lobbyists and news media Tuesday.
'Time is running out ...'
The Baucus plan would require insurers to take all applicants, regardless of age or health. But smokers could be charged higher premiums. And 60-year-olds could be charged five times as much for a policy as 20-year-olds.
Baucus said Tuesday he's trying to get agreement from a small group of bipartisan negotiators in advance of Obama's speech. "Time is running out very quickly," he said. "I made that very clear to the group."
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Some experts consider the $900-billion price tag a relative bargain because the country now spends about $2.5 trillion a year on health care. But it would require hefty fees on insurers, drug companies and others in the health care industry to help pay for it.
Video: Obama gears up to change game on health reform Just as auto coverage is now mandatory in nearly all states, Baucus would require that all Americans get health insurance once the system is overhauled. Penalties for failing to do so would start at $750 a year for individuals and $1,500 for families. Households making more than three times the federal poverty level — about $66,000 for a family of four — would face the maximum fines. For families, it would be $3,800, and for individuals, $950.
Baucus would offer tax credits to help pay premiums for households making up to three times the poverty level, and for small employers paying about average middle-class wages. People working for companies that offer coverage could avoid the fines by signing up.
The fines pose a dilemma for Obama. As a candidate, the president campaigned hard against making health insurance a requirement, and fining people for not getting it.
"Punishing families who can't afford health care to begin with just doesn't make sense," he said during his party's primaries. At the time, he proposed mandatory insurance only for children.
Public option in doubt
White House officials have since backed away somewhat from Obama's opposition to mandated coverage for all, but there's no indication that Obama would support fines.
One idea that Obama championed during and since the campaign — a government insurance option — appeared to be sinking fast.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters a Medicare-like plan for middle-class Americans and their families isn't an essential part of legislation for him. Hoyer's comments came shortly after a key Democratic moderate said he could no longer back a bill that includes a new government plan.
The fast-moving developments left liberals in a quandary. They've drawn a line, saying they won't vote for legislation if it doesn't include a public plan to compete with private insurance companies and force them to lower costs.
Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., who once supported a public option, said Tuesday that after hearing from constituents during the August recess, he's changed his mind.
"If House leadership presents a final bill that contains a government-run public option, I will oppose it," Ross said.
House Democrats are considering a fallback: using the public plan as a last resort if after a few years the insurance industry has failed to curb costs.
Nonprofit co-ops
Obama's commitment to a public plan has been in question and lawmakers hoped his speech to Congress would make his position on that clear.
Baucus is calling for nonprofit co-ops to compete in the marketplace instead of a public plan.
An 18-page summary of the Baucus proposal was obtained by The Associated Press. The complex plan would make dozens of changes in the health care system, many of them contentious. For example, it includes new fees on insurers, drug companies, medical device manufacturers and clinical labs.
People working for major employers would probably not see big changes. The plan is geared to helping those who now have the hardest time getting and keeping coverage: the self-employed and small business owners.

Foreign policy getting short shrift
Republicans usually enter a presidential campaign with a built-in advantage on at least one issue: national security. Historically, voters trust the GOP to be tougher than Democrats on defense and foreign policy.
Not this time. President Obama has robbed the Republican Party of its usual foreign policy edge, thanks to his surprisingly enthusiastic prosecution of the war against terrorism. The death o f Osama bin Laden in May didn't give Obama much of a bump in opinion polls overall; unluckily for the president, the economy is still the overriding issue in voters' minds. But that doesn't mean voters didn't notice. A recent AP-GfK poll found a wide swing between voters' appraisals of Obama on domestic and foreign issues: Only 40 percent approved of his performance on the economy, but 64 percent approved of his actions on terrorism, and roughly half approved of his conduct of the war in Afghanistan.
That has left Republican candidates for president without clear territory of their own on foreign policy and defense. In effect they have replied: Yes, but we'd be tougher — tougher on terrorism, tougher on China and tougher on Iran.
"If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on Earth, I am not your president. You have that president today," Mitt Romney said in a speech last month. "An eloquently justified surrender of world leadership is still surrender."
But what would a President Romney, a President Perry or a President Cain actually do to carry out the promise of a stronger America? Even Romney, who has issued a 43-page "white paper" on national security, hasn't been very specific — except on one issue: more defense spending.
The former Massachusetts governor has promised to reverse what he calls Obama's "massive defense cuts." But there's a problem with that approach: Obama actually increased defense spending during his first three years in office, and the cuts he has proposed in future spending — $400 billion over 12 years — amount to roughly 5 percent of projected national security spending for that period.
Romney says he wants to increase military spending and establish a "floor" of 4 percent of gross domestic product, a proposal that came out of the George W. Bush administration. (Current defense spending is about 3.8 percent of GDP, not counting the costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.) But how would Romney pay for more defense spending during a time of austerity? He hasn't said.
Romney's rivals for the nomination — with the notable exceptions of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has called for genuinely massive cuts, and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who has said defense cuts should at least be considered — have mostly fallen in line, echoing his call for more military spending.
But on other national security issues, the Republicans have been far less clear.
Take Afghanistan, a war that's in its 10th year. The GOP candidates have found an easy comfort zone in criticizing Obama for setting a deadline of 2014 for handing off security to the Afghans and for beginning the drawdown of U.S. forces next summer. Announcing a date for the U.S. departure, they say, has encouraged the Taliban and its Pakistani allies to wait us out.
But the Republicans haven't proposed serious alternatives, nor have they addressed many of the tough questions in Afghanistan: How long would they stay, and with how many troops? Would they engage in negotiations with the Taliban, to see if a deal could be cut? And how would they persuade Pakistan, a putative U.S. ally, to stop sheltering and supporting Taliban factions, perhaps the single biggest reason the war has not been won?
Romney has urged taking a tough line with Pakistan on its support of Afghan insurgents, but he hasn't said how. And if the other candidates have formulated coherent positions on how to move forward in the region, they haven't expressed them.
When Perry was asked about Pakistan last month, he delivered a rambling and incoherent response that questioned, among other things, why the U.S. hadn't sold upgraded fighter planes to India and Taiwan. And Herman Cain seemed to dismiss the importance of foreign policy altogether when he famously said it didn't matter whether he knew anything about "Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan."
"How's that going to create one job?" he asked.
The Republican candidates have been tough on China, but there, too, they have been vague — plenty of attitude but not much policy. Again, Romney is the exception: He's said he'd impose punitive tariffs on imports from China on his first day in office to retaliate against China's policy of keeping its currency artificially cheap. (Huntsman, a former ambassador to China, said that was a bad idea because the Chinese would quickly retaliate. "You're going to find yourself in a trade war," he warned.)
On Iran, the Republicans have slammed Obama for failing to stop the Islamic regime's nuclear program, but again they haven't offered any new ideas. (Romney's one strange offering was to call for the indictment of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — presumably by the International Criminal Court, which most Republicans don't like — for saying Israel should be "wiped off the map.")
So far the Republicans running for president have focused their campaigns on only one part of the national agenda: the domestic economy. They've been running for tax-cutter in chief and budget-cutter in chief — but not commander in chief.
That's understandable in a year when the economy is the voters' overriding concern. But commander in chief is a big part of the job. Voters deserve to know what these would-be presidents would do in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and how they'd act toward China and Iran. The candidates haven't told them much yet. It's time they did.

The mutual love between Beyonce and First Lady Michelle Obama was apparent back when Michelle told People magazine she wanted to trade places with the famous singer — and when Beyonce joined Michelle's "Let's Move!" campaign.
Now, Beyonce professes her admiration for the First Lady from a personal letter she previously shared on her blog in a new Obama campaign video.
The singer says she is in awe of Michelle Obama, "Every time I see her, she inspires me, she empowers me, she encourages me to live a healthy lifestyle."
Now is this really a campaign for President Barack Obama or for his wife?
A gallup poll last May revealed that Michelle is more popular than her husband — 66% of Americans have a favorable view of her compared to 52% for the president.
The poll suggested that the Obama re-election team might consider using her on the campaign on behalf of her husband, and it looks like their predictions were right.
And Beyonce isn't the only celebrity featured in the campaign.
In fact, the GOP has routinely criticized celebrity support for Obama. In recent Republican National Committee video "Meanwhile", unemployment rates flash on the screen next to clips from a campaign video featuring Vogue Editor Anna Wintour.
Are the Obamas getting too cozy with the music artists and actors we look up to? Or do they just have a lot of friends?

We credit Rachael Ray and other TV cooking hosts for the popularity of the stovetop grill pan. They can "grill" food on camera without having to move the entire production crew outside. Brilliant.
But we're apartment dwellers with no outdoor space, as we know many of you are, and let's be honest. A pan with raised ridges does not a grill make. We're going to give you our own thoughts on the grill pan, below...
We talk a lot about these popular pans (read about them here or here). But essentially what you are getting is a heavy, cast-iron sauté pan that makes lines on your food. You just can't get the same smoky flavor or fire-charred bits that you get on an outdoor grill.
So, here are our pros and cons.Pros:
- The grill marks are nice. Food does look grilled, and the little black dents are satisfyingly crusty.
- If you have the model that fits over two burners (which we do), you get a lot of surface area. You can cook many chicken breasts, kabobs, or vegetables in one go.
- If your pan is a reversible one that flips over to be a griddle, you can make pancakes. Or a lot of bacon.
- The ridges allow fat to flow off the meat, just like it would drip between the grates of a grill, so a burger doesn't sit and boil in its own juices.
- Most grill pans are heavy and heat evenly -- just like a reliable cast-iron pan.
- No charcoal, no wood chips, no outdoorsy flavor.
- Often, we find the double burner style pan fits awkwardly over our gas stove grates and the middle can become a cool(er) zone.
- If you are going to cook a lot of meat over pretty high heat, there's likely going to be a lot of smoke in a small kitchen.
- Just like in a regular sauté pan, it's hard to cook some meats thoroughly before the outside is dry or burned. Transferring to the oven is an option if your grill pan is small enough, but you can't put a top on like you can close the cover of a grill.
- Our biggest complaint: We find they are a pain to clean and cumbersome to store.
OK, those are our thoughts. We know we're missing some points, so let us know what you think. And don't forget: If you have questions about grilling, send them to us!

|So if anyone is in search of that last minute, absolutely perfect present, let me offer this advise: Jeni's Ice Cream is definitely the way to go.
|Daniel and I stopped in Columbus on the way back from Kansas City and showed him the best thing about that town.
|Jeni and Charley started their company in 2002 and now have seven stores. They use local, sustainable ingredients from the milk that comes from grass fed cows to the mint that is grown by a local farmer. Current ingredients include local vodka, local Gouda and fair traded African vanilla.
|They make there own macaroons, waffle cones and fudge sauce
|Jenis has flavors like salty caramel, Queen City Cayenne, Bourbon Buttered Pecan, Oakvale Young Gouda with Vodka-Plumped Cranberries, Goat Cheese with Cognac Fig Sauce.
|This girl was amazing. Dan and I asked for a few tastes before we decided on a flavor and boy did she indulge us. She even gave us about 10 other tastes that she said we just HAD to try. We left with many little spoons to reuse in the studio.
|I met Jeni through my Ohio Pal Michelle Maguire. Michelle designed Jeni's logo and also makes fantastic art. The prints on the wall are polaroids that Michelle took and then enlarges into these canvases. You can see more of michelles work at the site Pretty Patti (named for her mother). This couple were enjoying their ice cream under a great light made by an OSU glass artist. Anyway, the best thing about Jeni's (or the best thing for us non Ohio dwellers) is that they ship!! you can get Jeni's from Columbus to your door in two days!! I HIGHLY recommend it.

Findings at Australia's Great Barrier Reef leaves experts dismayed, saddened

Great Barrier Reef hit by 'worst, mass bleaching event'
March 29, 2016
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is undergoing "the worst, mass bleaching event in its history," reports NPR, adding to the coral damage already experienced in Hawaii and Indonesia, Mashable notes.
The news comes from Australia's National Coral Bleaching Task Force after aerial surveys of the more than 500 coral reefs that stretch from Cairns to Papua New Guinea.
"This has been the saddest research trip of my life," Professor Terry Hughes of James Cook University in Queensland states in a March 29, 2016, press release, as reported by Mashable. "Almost without exception, every reef we flew across showed consistently high levels of bleaching, from the reef slope right up onto the top of the reef. We flew for 4,000 kilometers in the most pristine parts of the Great Barrier Reef, and saw only four reefs that had no bleaching. The severity is much greater than in earlier bleaching events in 2002 or 1998."
The World Heritage Site's luminous beauty woos scientists and tourists alike, but coral bleaching means something is out of whack.
Think of coral bleaching this way: Coral and algae have a relationship, the coral feeds off the algae, which makes the coral pretty colorful. But if the coral gets stressed out, the algae splits, and the coral is weakened (no food) and looks bad. (Don't we all get this way after a breakup?) NPR underscores that algae "disappear when the reefs are exposed to stressful climatic conditions, such as temperatures even a few degrees higher than normal."
There seem to be two key factors involved, Mashable writes: warm ocean temperatures tied to the El Niño event going on in the tropical Pacific Ocean; and the human factor: global-warming practices that boost ocean temperatures and increase ocean acidity levels, which affect the skeletons of coral.
While scientists say the bleached coral can heal (it can take a decade or more), some scientists worry that 50 percent of the affected coral is gone for good. Though it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and there's the El Niño factor, one scientist believes the cause of the warm water temperatures is clear, as NPR reports:
"What we're seeing now is unequivocally to do with climate change," Professor Justin Marshall, a reef scientist from the University of Queensland, explains to the ABC (Australia). "We're seeing climate change play out across our reefs."

The Olympic Stadium picture thread
Apologies if I missed something but what happened to the picture thread? I actually enjoyed looking at some of the images that were being posted - seems a shame that the resource has now been removed.
Would any of the mods have any objections to creating a new thread for stadium pictures? (With forum rules being adhered to of course)
Re: The Olympic Stadium picture thread
I think it was the pictures of the topless athletes running around the stadium and the kid losing his arms and legs going down the Orbit slide that got it pulled!
Re: The Olympic Stadium picture thread
The old thread will be back soon with some clear rules .
im locking this for now .

Helping Hands of Haiti had each member making a light blanket to be sent to Haiti. They were told that tons of items were donated to these people, but blankets were the most sought after. They tried to make them bright and colorful to lift their spirits. Next, they tackled their "charity quilt".
Every member made a 30's block and the quilt turned out beautiful. It will make a wonderful gift to someone in need. Fila Harris asked for help in making the Quilted Blue Star Service Banners which were given to our local families who had sons, daughters or husbands serving our country.
This was a great project they were honored to help with. At this time they also decided to make a Quilt of Valor which they will keep to give to a local service person at the time of need.
They also make and donate baby receiving blankets to the Blue Mountain Hospital. New mothers always appreciate receiving a hand-made baby blanket.
The sale of their July 4th quilt gives them the funds to purchase material for all of the service projects throughout the year.
In August, they met at the beautiful Canyonlands Guest Ranch for a summer social. The Quilt of Valor was finished and displayed at this time. The guild also sent over 20 pink "Quilt for the Cure" blocks to the state quilt guild to be made into larger quilts. The quilts are auctioned, with proceeds donated to cancer research.
Another project was the "Million Pillowcase Challenge". American Patchwork & Quilting has a challenge to help them reach a goal of donating one million pillowcases to local charities. Our group made over 40 pillow cases. The object is to make pillow cases and donate them to a local charity to make a difference in the community. They gave them to Kim Glover, who works with the Early Intervention Program with the San Juan School District.
They will wrap up their year at the December Christmas Party. Next year will begin with another list of projects to complete.
The new presidency is Janet Wilcox, Sidney Christensen and Gail Glover. Anyone wishing to join the quilt guild can come to the January meeting. They meet every third Wednesday of the month at 6 pm at the Blanding Senior Citizens building. There is a $10 member fee to join. You do not have to be an experienced quilter – all levels are welcome!

Terrible 2008 season
Few days ago, Uni Lions which is one of Taiwanese pro league team win champion of CPBL(Taiwan pro league).
What a terrible 2008 season for me!
First of all, Yankees miss to make playoffs and stop 13 years streak.
Secondly, as a Taiwanese, Wang got hurt and miss at least half of season.
Thirdly, Red Sox and Rays make the playoffs
Fourthly, I have to watch Red Sox almost coming back and going into the world series.
And then the team in the Taiwan pro league I hate the most win champion.

This is true. When you consider the team I love in Taiwan pro league no longer exist, how bad it can be.

The Yankees are not a bad replacement team. But who would you root for if your favorite player was traded?

If you don't mind, you can use name/url and then I can know who you are. No matter which way you choose, welcome to my blog.
Just in case you are interested in the Yankes story with me. Go to read first post of this blog.
Yankees and Wang got me back to love baseball again after my favorite Taiwanese pro league team involved with gamble scandal. Of course, I root harder for Wang because of his personality and nationality. I root for him to pitch well no matter where he goes. However, the team I love and root for is Yankees. I know it's very hard to stay with Yankees for entire career for any player.
I love the way Yankees play baseball: never give up, play hard and always about team victory. I care about process more than results as long as they do their best.
