text: FBI Special Agent Paul Kennedy returns to his hotel room to discover something amiss. The door isn't locked, suggesting someone inside, so he enters carefully. When the intruder flips on the light, its not what he was expecting. Harley, the hotel owner's high school aged daughter is hiding in his bed, completely naked. Harley is used to getting what she wants, so she is surprised when Kennedy fails to respond to her advances, even when she assures him that she is 18. Suddenly vulnerable, she worries that he does not like her.He assures her that he likes her very much indeed, and he will show that he cares about her by giving her boundaries and limits. When he pulls the nude girl out of bed, she thinks that perhaps she is going to get what she desires after all, but is shocked when instead he pulls her across his lap for a spanking. Harley has clearly never been punished before: her father is always too busy, hence her constant acting out, and has made up for it by giving her whatever she asks for, hence her spoiled attitude.The spanking she receives on her bare bottom hurts and makes her cry out and kick, but she cannot deny that it makes her feel safe and secure to be held accountable and taken in hand. Maybe Agent Kennedy is right and this is exactly what she needed.BACK TO Free Northern Spanking

Hello! Today I am sharing a birthday set that I made a while back. I have been trying to get better pictures of it as a group but time permitting has not been in my favor. I wanted to do a cake etc with it but that isn't going to happen so I just photographed it.
The entire thing was cut with my Silhouette.
The invites:
The invitation part is shaped as a tea bag and I just realized that you can't tell that in the pictures...sorry. I made a set of 8.
These are the party favors. Fill with your favorite treats:
Cupcake wrappers:
Very simple to cut out. I think they are called Princess.
The cupcake toppers, I kept them simple:
The Birthday Banner:
and finally the Thank you notes. You just slide the flower around and you can write on the tag.
All papers are Echo Park Dots and Stripes. The stamp for the flower is the Craft's Meow Happiness is. If you have any questions just let me know.
Have a great MONDAY!!!

The legends are not necessarily owned by any particular group or class of people; rather they come out of some flash of brilliance in the mind of any individual any moment. So is the tale of Rayyan Air which is still in infancy but showing muscles through its achievement in a very short time. It dates back to a few years earlier when it started its operations. Though near many it is a charter operator but the recent service breakthrough by starting a weekly flight to China (Kashgar) has given it the edge over its competitors. This flight is not a mere airline operation, in fact it is immensely contributing towards the trade and business relationship between Pakistan and China, promoting cross-cultural harmony, boosting tourism (both ways), providing very convenient connectivity to Chinese and Pakistani travelers beyond their origins and destinations. De facto it is the revival of Silkroute which through ages has been the catalyst for trade
and merchant activities for different parts of the world. All credit is due for Rayyan Air in this regard
It has successfully flown regular charter flights to different parts of the world by using all types of aircraft: from turboprops to widebodies like B-747s and B-777s. Pertinent to mention are its UN peacekeeping missions flown for Pakistan and other countries which due to its following of highest standards of quality and safety has credited it as the best charter operator of the country. Record breaking charter flights for UN peacekeepers include operations from Ulanbatar to Montevideo and Manila to HAITI and spanned over the four continents.
Now it is going to create its own atlas soon. Shortly it will be airborne with its flights to Najaf (Iraq) from Karachi and Lahore for holy pilgrims. At the same time it will also be operating daily flights to northern gateways like Islamabad, Gilgit and Skardu. Later it will be flying to and from Quetta and some other places in Baluchistan to cater for the needs of our mid-east bound passengers. Owned and led by a seasoned and mature aviation expert and staffed by a highly dedicated and professional team, the airline foresees the coming time as challenging and rewarding which will position it as a winning airline in the region due to its firm commitment to highest standards of service. In all its offerings, the value-addition is the order of the day. The service continuum is comprised of passenger (schedule and charter), cargo and other ancillary services which we provide by meeting all the required regulatory standards.
The airline is also to give related services to other airlines along with aircraft management, handling services, visa, crews, aviation-related permissions, etc. to become a complete aviation service provider. This Rayyan story is just a show of a promising start which over the time will prove as one of the best regional carriers.

Yet another Hello! Project unit has been announced during this week's Hello Station! This unit is entirely made up of Hello Pro Kenshuusei and is named Tsubaki Factory. "Tsubaki" is a Japanese flower denoting pride and allure. "Factory" is taken from past group, Berryz Koubou's name. Shimizu Saki also had a hand in the creation of their group name. The members of this group are as follows:
Ogata Risa (16)
Yamagishi Riko (16)
Kishimoto Yumeno (15)
Niinuma Kisora (15)
Tanimoto Ami (15)
Asakura Kiki (14)
Although I am elated to see another group formation in Hello Project, I am rather disappointed with the group's name. The name is too similar to Kobushi Factory and the "factory" theme in their names lack originality and innovation. However, the similarity in their names may suggest that they will be sister or rival groups and may be working together in the future. I am happy with the lineup for this group. I do not know much about Kiki, Risa or Ami, so I will look out for them in the future. Kobushi Factory has already made a big impact with their debut single "Nen wa ni Nen/Survivor", so I am eager to see what Tsubaki Factory brings to the table.
Good luck and congratulations to the girls!

educator roles & responsibilities
When considering what my roles and responsibilities as a professional educator would be, I developed the following mindmap:
The roles and responsibilities of a professional educator have certainly changed over time due to the increasing complexity of teaching that has resulted from globalisation, rapidly changing information technology, and increased economic pressures (Harvey, 1989 and Hargreaves, 1994, as cited in Woods, Jeffrey, Troman & Boyle, 1997). The role of the teacher has undergone a process that Apple (1982) as cited in Woods et al. (2000), refers to as intensification. These increased responsibilities led to teachers being held more accountable due to society becoming more audit driven. As a result, teachers are required to perform "more 'social work' responsibilities, multiple innovations and increased amounts of administrative work" (Hargreaves, 1994, p.36, as cited in Easthope & Easthope, 2000, p. 53). These additional duties and responsibilities require teachers to act under a licensed autonomy where they are obligated to make choices on a day to day basis (Seddon, 1997, p.236, as cited in Easthope & Easthope, 2000, p.53).
In my role as a professional teacher it is essential that I conduct myself in an ethical manner and consider the rights of my students when interacting with them and making decisions on their behalf. Similarly, I should conduct myself in the same ethical manner when interacting with parents and caregivers, professional peers and community members (Groundwater-Smith, Ewing & Le Cornu, 2011). Guidelines such as the Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct and Australian Professional Standards for Teachers have been established to assist in decision making and allow teachers continually question their actions in order to ensure they adhere to these codes (Groundwater-Smith et al., 2011).

The Centec Oxytrans TR O2-transmitter continuously measures the exact content of oxygen in liquids and gases. The sensor is especially designed for breweries and other high end process requirement applications, e.g. power plants or bioreactors. The optical principle of measurement is based on the effect of dynamic luminescence quenching by molecular oxygen. The indicator layer on the glass installed in the measuring head is illuminated with a blue-green-light. This excites the indicator molecules causing them to emit a red light. The level of red light is detected by an internal receiver. If oxygen is present, the energy transfers to the oxygen molecule. After the collision with the indicator layer the oxygen molecule is transferred from its ground state (triplet state) to its excited singlet state. As a result, the indicator molecule does not emit the luminescence. The luminescence signal decreases linear to the oxygen content. This decrease is the basis for the oxygen calculation. The O2-concentration can be displayed locally on the instrument screen and also transmitted as a digital or analogue output signal for a control system.

A-Ton is a new label from Berlin heavyweights Ostgut Ton, designed to focus on "ambient, archive and alternative music". They've pulled off something of a coup for this debut release, persuading British techno legend Luke Slater to open up the archives of his '90s intelligent techno project, The 7th Plain. Chronicles I boasts a mixture of previously released and unheard material, which moves from glistening, outer-space ambience (the near perfect "Boundaries", "Grace"), to fizzing Motor City techno ("T-Funk Statues"), via intergalactic intelligent techno, dusty downtempo grooves (the jazzy hip-hop rhythms and ambient electronics of "Slip 7 Sideways"), and melodious IDM.

I usually talk the real football on Copia, because it's my favorite sport, but I also like the other football, and I just finished watching one of the most amazing NFL games I've ever seen. The much-hyped Chicago Bears versus the much-maligned Arizona Cardinals. I really like the Bears, even though I have more ties to Green Bay Packer country (I did spend a year working in Chicago and a couple in Peoria). I like them because of the character they show on defense even though they haven't had a useful offense since their SuperBowl glory days in the mid-80s. No one embodies that character like Brian Urlacher. I remember a few years ago seeing an interview with Ray Lewis, another great defender, preparing to play Chicago. Lewis probably knew his Baltimore Ravens would cream the Bears, who were really struggling then, but he still pointed at Urlacher on the scouting video and said "There goes a future hall-of-famer. Stay strong, baby".
That's the sort of respect Urlacher earns with plays such as his stripping, out of nowhere, of Edgerrin James, a pro-bowl running back, when it seemed his team had no hope of beating the Cardinals, up by two scores. His teammate picked up the fumble and ran it in for one score, and after the Chicago defense went right back on the field to force a three-and-out, their special teams made up the other score with an electrifying punt return by Devin Hester. I was jumping up and down as if Arsenal had scored on Man U. Arizona had gone into half-time ahead of the Bears 20-0, and their defense and offense both looked rampant. The Bears' defense seemed to wait until almost the fourth quarter before showing up for the game, and it's just astonishing that one quarter is all they needed to completely reverse the field on the Cardinals for the win. It's hard to say a team that's capable of doing that is not a SuperBowl favorite this year. It's a well-dusted analysts saying in World Football: the greatest teams are those who find ways to win when they're playing poorly. That applies to any sport, as the Bears proved again today.
I will say that one thing Dick Butkus has over his prodigious successors us that his name is a lot easier to chant than "Singletary" or "Urlacher".

No entry yesterday, the first day of Week Two (Heck Week). Just not that much to say, plus I was busy just getting through my first full weekend as an ex-smoker.
Current #s?: Smoke free for one week, one day, 7 hours, 25 minutes and 11 seconds. 290 cigarettes not smoked, saving $58.16. Life saved: 1 day, 10 minutes.
I'm slowly coming to terms with what it means to be an ex-smoker. The obvious positive aspects all have to do with health and personal hygiene in one way or another. They are great, but boring...maybe I'll live longer, for sure I'll feel better (already do), and I won't smell bad all the time (you tell me...). See? Boring.
More interesting, at least to me, is what being an ex-smoker brings one that can't be immediately qualified as good or bad. When you smoke, your day is punctuated regularly by habit/addiction feeding behavior. You grant yourself permission to stop working at regular intervals. You have access, at any time, to a legal and phenomenally effective drug and drug delivery system...Want to concentrate? Have a smoke. Want to calm down? Have a smoke. Want to take a break and stare into space for 5-7 minutes? Have a smoke. Feel bad? Have a smoke. Feel great? Have a smoke. Endlessly. Until one day it ends... And there is nothing that can replace it.
The reason that it may be harder to quit smoking than it is to quit heroin isn't at all that nicotine is more addictive than smack, or that withdrawal is worse. Those "facts" may be comforting conceits to people living in a culture awash in fuzzy boo-hoo-I'm-a-victim thinking, and may even be handy for generating pride in kicking cigarettes. They aren't true, but I can see their usefulness.
What is true is that if I'm at work, it just plain isn't acceptable at all, to anyone, for me to take a break, walk out and shoot smack in the doorway. Or snort coke off my desk. Or even continuously slam shots of Cuervo in front of people that are depending on me. Even though any of those activities may make me feel better, if I'm going to engage in them I have to hide. From my employer, and probably from my co-workers. Possibly from my friends and family too, as long as I can...
But smoking? First, even if you are a closet smoker, trust me...everyone knows. You reek. Non- or ex-smokers are only being polite if they engage in your pathetic little hiding game with you. So smoking is open & semi-acceptable drug use...you may not be able to smoke in some places, like at your desk or at your table in any nice restaurant...but close by is a sanctuary where you can smoke...a bar, a doorway, a bench. There you'll usually find other smokers to validate you...puffing away & grinning ruefully about how put upon y'all are by modern times.
I miss it. How idiotic is that? I don't ever get to do it again, but I miss it. Therein lies both the danger & the real addiction.
I am amazed and gratified by plus grateful for the phone calls and email I get when I skip a day in this WebLog. Thanks!
Here's the deal: I swear, if for some reason I slip even once, cheat at all, or start smoking again, I'll put that up in an entry here immediately. Part of the reason for this WebLog is to leave myself open to the intense public humiliation that will result if I do fall flat on my face. Believe me, the fear of that public humiliation has stopped me from driving to Circle K a couple of times already, and I'm only 11 days into this quit. I'm not exactly the poster boy for Self Discipline (as more than a few of you reading this know far too well), so I need as many barriers as I can possibly set up in between me and Abdul, the Circle K clerk. Speaking of Abdul, this is what he said to me yesterday, when I ducked in for some bottled water and a hot dog (Hold the bun...I am *so* boring these days): "Hey, Mr. Worthington, we've missed you! We got those Player Lights in for you! How many packs?" See, it would be a lot easier to quit if I had to go to a motorcycle gang's headquarters down on the Duwamish River in Allentown and risk my life to score cigarettes. Don't get me wrong, if I still smoked, I'd do it in a heartbeat. "Gimme a couple of cartons of Camel Lights, Big Tiny...and please God, don't beat me to death with that pool cue...I swear I wasn't thinking anything when I looked over at your old lady. I've just never seen a dog collar that color. It's nice."
Abdul was deeply disappointed that I wouldn't be buying cigarettes from him anymore, but did begrudgingly wish me well as he lit up a smoke and stared at me balefully through the fog.
Current #s? Thanks for asking: Not a single puff for one week, three days, 13 hours, 21 minutes and 51 seconds, not that I'm cognizant of the passage of time, you understand. 369 cigarettes not smoked, saving $73.89 to spend on cheap mystery novels, if I'm ever smart enough to actually read anything again. Life saved: 1 day, 6 hours, 45 minutes...which is all well and good, except that I am beginning to realize that I get them at the other end of life, when I'm really old, eating strained peas and not really caring if I ever get laid again or not. It's not like I get days, hours & minutes of being 18 or 22 or even 40. Oh, what the hell, I'll take them anyway.
Other info: My sleep patterns are starting to settle down. I'm starting to get a hacking cough as the cilia in my lungs are not being burned off and buried in tar every 20 minutes. Apparently they start waving around and the cough is a good thing. Right. Supposedly it can last for months. I'm still oozing poisonous toxins...trust me, you don't want to know any more about that.
Until the next update, thank you for your kind attention.
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. --H. L. Mencken
Well, this isn't Week Two, it's Week Three...Go here!

Image To Sexy Do They Get What They Deserve What Image Do They Portray
Where Do You Draw the Line Between Sexy and Asking For It?
Do they get assaulted because they dressed to sexy? What image do we give them? Maybe they got what we taught them by the image we gave them to portray.
I was hopping through some hubs the other day and came across one that ruffled my feathers along with some comments. If you haven't had the opportunity please go to " The slut walk in Toronto" it's a great hub with videos.
There are very few things that get me "fired up" in life any more and this was one. When a police officer gets in front of students and tells them not to dress like sluts and they won't be sexually harassed or assaulted, it is something that pulls the trigger pretty quick.
Then when the comments give a morsel of significance to the fact they get what they deserve, validated by the way they dress, I just had to write this article
Society and Image
We live in a society where if you are young, (realize I'm 50++ so that qualifies anyone under 30) you have an image to portray. Whether it is one that is gothic in nature, gang influenced, nerd related, stuffy, jock, preppy, etc. it is one that labels them to that entity. It also gives a name to their style. Example- I was in the mall the other day and two young men and what appeared to be one of their girlfriends walked by. As they passed I heard one say "Hey, you've got some sweet cheeks, don't you?" I turned and glared knowing that they weren't talking about me, but just the comment, and then felt like an idiot. They stopped and were standing in front of Victoria Secret which had these huge pictures of models in lingerie with the logo "Sweet Cheeks". Lesson one noted and put in the think tank. Then as I was walking past the other stores there was "The Body Shop, Spencers, and all these other department stores whose windows were filled with some of the most provocative clothing imaginable, all knowing that it was what would attract the public to come inside.
Take a look at some of the models and the clothing they're modeling its not like their getting ready for a game of chess. Then take a look at some of the stars, it's all about image.
Most of Us Strive for Their Bodies Whether We Wear the Clothes Or Not
Most of us strive for the bodies to wear the clothes, just take a look at the multi billion dollar diet industry. It doesn't mean were going to wear them, so many just want to know they could if they wanted to.
How is it that we criticize the images we gave them to portray. Like it or not it's on the news, videos, movies, new tv shows, etc., etc.. Take a look at the reality shows today, America's Next Top Model, The Bachelor and Bachelorette, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Biggest Loser, etc., all striving for that image or to get there. It doesn't matter if it's your clothes, hair, make up, accessories, we all strive for that certain image or look, whether your 5, 15, 25, or 55 etc.
I'm the first to admit when I'm hanging around a friend of mine and she has on a tank top tucked in, and some low rise jeans (should have been a model) I'm the first to say "You are such a AAAAhhh" and I am so jealous. It's reality. We all want attention otherwise the entire clothing, hair and make up industry would be out of business. Do I wear tank tops, shorts (Capri's for me), low rise jeans, etc? Of course not. Why? Because I don't want everyone to see my jiggle wiggle when I walk, but that's my choice. Would I wear them if I had her body? You bet your *#* I would, in a heartbeat.
Th Fact Is
Sexual assault and rape is not about sex It's about power, dominance, control, and sometimes about the inconceivable sick abuse they have encountered themselves. If you watched the first video in the hub I referenced earlier, you hear the news commentator talk about two men breaking into the girls dorm room and raping them. At what point does that have anything to do with what they were wearing.
There is not an individual on the face of this earth that ever deserves to be raped, ever!
People write about it, talk about it, make videos about it, tv shows about it, radio shows, it's on the news, sex, sex, sex, and image, image, image. You've got the best dressed, the worst dressed, and the "What were you thinking?" People make millions of dollars on images everyday, it's the image that feeds their family, some just choose to ignore it when it gets personal..
Think of all the topless or nude beaches, models, stars, etc., are they all asking for it?

Hurricane Irene almost ruined it.
The penultimate night of our race was meant to be a great occasion for all the runners. We'd eat and drink together, with little to worry about apart from the fairly short (35.2-mile) glory leg into New York City, the end of our cross-continental run.
Instead we spent a stressful night, trying to figure out what we would do if New York shut down.
Some of it already had. The subways were not running. Central Park was closed. (That was supposed to be the finish line – we had to change that to a hotel near Times Square).
There was even a possibility that Washington Bridge might be blocked off, and we would not actually get into New York.
It might only be eight miles from the end – but imagine running the Los Angeles to New York race and not actually making it to New York. The Los Angeles to New Jersey footrace did not sound quite so appealing.
For the first part, I plodded along at my usual pace, expecting the significance of the day to catch up with me. I thought "just wait for the bridge, it will get better when I get to the bridge".
When I got there, it started pouring with rain. Apart from the impressive bridge structure, I could not see much through the cloud. Once I stepped off it I was officially in New York City, which felt like a sleeping city. The city that never sleeps had been tranquillised by the Hurricane Irene media hysteria.
I ran along the Hudson River with my girlfriend Gemma for a while, talking about the effect of the weather, and ruing the fact this wasn't as perfect a day as I had been imagining for more than a year.
Heading onto Broadway towards Times Square, I started to feel better. In the course of this 3,200-mile race across America, I had spent nearly 800 hours running – and I only had 20 minutes left.
In New Mexico, many weeks ago, this moment didn't seem possible. I was four days into an illness that took me into hospital and drained my optimism.
Luckily, it did get better – and here I was on 57th Street where, almost without realising, I crossed the finish line. Instead of Central Park in the sunshine, I completed the 70th and final day of my journey across America in front of a hotel in the pouring rain. But at least Hurricane Irene didn't stop us making Manhattan.
Fifteen runners had started. Eight made it to the end, crossing 13 states. I endured the glaring sunshine of California, traversed the desert of Arizona, survived that very dodgy stomach in New Mexico, plodded through the endless roads and cauldron-like heat of Oklahoma, the humidity of Missouri, the crowded roads of Pennsylvania – and much else besides, before finally making it here.
At the awards ceremony, the certificate I received confirmed it – I had officially made the 260th recorded foot crossing of the USA (about 1,500 people have climbed Everest).
Some of the runners began talking about "continent bagging". Only six more to go....
But there is nothing lined up for now. I want to run a lap of Central Park before I go, but apart from that I will try to enjoy as much of New York City as I can through my tiredness.
Plans include a Manhattan walking tour. I hope I can keep up.

I'm currently head of Digital Performance Analytics / web analytics at the Department for Work and Pensions in the UK Government. I also do the odd bit of analytics on commercial sites (mainly e-commerce).
My background is in Social Research and wider statistical analysis; I have a Masters' in Social Research Methods. Since moving into web analytics a few years ago I've focused on applying statistical and analytical rigour to web analytics, which all too often seems to simply consist of churning out a load of standard graphs and charts. The aim of Astounding Analytics is to showcase some of my work, share hints and tips, and demonstrate the additional value in having a web analyst with an analytical background provide analytics.
Because of where I work, I have a deep understanding of how to set up and analyse analytics on forms, sometimes 40 screens long! I also have a lot of experience of customising the setup of Google Analytics to make it work for these kinds of sites, which I post about on here. I'm always interested in broadening my experience of analytics on commercial sites, and occasionally do consultancy work for other public sector organisations, so if you're interested in working with me, drop me a line (email@example.com).

Thursday, 11 January 2018 12:04 PM
Delta Air Lines Inc. reported better-than-expected profit for the fourth quarter on Thursday, helped by higher business fares and a busy holiday travel season, and forecast even better performance in the current quarter on strong demand for seats, sending its shares up 3.5 percent in premarket trading.
The No. 2 U.S. carrier is the first to report earnings after a broadly positive quarter, where most airlines managed to hike fares to offset growth in costs.
Earlier this week United Airlines and American Airlines forecast higher unit revenue, followed by JetBlue Airways Corp on Thursday. Shares of each rose in premarket trading.
Atlanta-based Delta forecast total unit revenue, a measurement closely watched by investors, to increase by 2.5 percent to 4.5 percent in the first quarter of 2018.
"We enter 2018 with significant momentum and every entity delivering positive passenger unit revenue for the first time in five years, driven by a robust demand environment and improving business fares," said Delta's President Glen Hauenstein.
Based on that, Delta raised its full-year profit outlook to between $6.35 and $6.70 per share, well ahead of Wall Street estimates.
Delta's net income for the fourth quarter dipped to $572 million, or 80 cents per share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, from $622 million, or 84 cents per share, a year earlier.
That included a one-time charge of $150 million due to changes in the U.S. tax code enacted in December. Delta said the new tax law would cut its tax rate to between 22 percent and 24 percent in 2018.
Excluding that and other one-time items, Delta earned 96 cents per share, above the average 88 cents per share expected by analysts, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Total operating revenue rose 8.3 percent to $10.25 billion from $9.46 billion. Analysts on average had expected revenue of $10.13 billion.
"Stronger than expected revenues, good unit revenue momentum and raised 2018 guidance aided by benefits of tax reform would be the major takeaways," said CFRA Research analyst Jim Corridore on the increase in Delta shares.
Delta took a combined hit of $60 million from December's power outage at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and Winter Storm Benji.
Year over year, Delta's costs, excluding fuel and special items, increased 5.6 percent, driven by higher labor expenses and accelerated depreciation from aircraft retirements.

Italy's Recordati said on Tuesday it plans to seek Canadian approval for its drug Cystagon, which treats a rare kidney disease, in a potential blow to Horizon Pharma,, which makes the only drug approved for treatment in Canada. Cystagon and Horizon's drug Procysbi use the same active ingredient to treat nephropathic cystinosis, a genetic disorder that can cause fatal kidney damage. Only about 100 people in Canada have the disease, but at list prices Procysbi costs C$325,000 ($243,336.33) per year, according to Canadian regulators.
Allergan's (AGN) key drug, Restasis' prospects hurt as the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the ruling of a lower court, which invalidated certain patents protecting the drug.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday cast aside pharmaceutical company Allergan Plc's unorthodox bid to shield patents from a federal administrative court's review by transferring them to a Native American tribe. The justices left in place a lower court ruling upholding the authority of a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office tribunal to decide the validity of patents covering Allergan's dry eye drug Restasis, refusing to hear the company's appeal.

Investing in small cap stocks has historically been a way to outperform the market, as small cap companies typically grow faster on average than the blue chips. That outperformance comes with a price, however, as there are occasional periods of higher volatility. The fourth quarter of 2018 is one of those periods, as the Russell […]
The past three years have been tough for investors in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA). The share have gone from their 2015 peak near $72 to a current price below $16, slipping out of a rebound effort that took shape in 2018. TEVA stock has peeled back from last year's high near $26, after bottoming near $11 in late-2017.Nothing seems to excite investors for very long.Analysts -- some analysts anyway -- are starting to take notice of subtle changes, putting several upgrades in place during the first quarter of this year.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsMost of those calls are still cautious ones, with the most recent one from BMO Capital Markets being no exception to that norm. The analysts at Bank of Montreal (NYSE:BMO) see evidence of a turnaround taking shape, but remain concerned that Teva's generics business and pipeline aren't quite as robust as the firm would like.In taking a closer look at the analyst community's changing consensus, though, it's possible these professionals are quietly pointing toward more potential than most investors currently see in Teva stock. Disguised BullishnessBMO analyst Gary Nachman doesn't believe recent launches of Huntington's disease treatment Austedo and migraine treatment Ajovy will "be enough to put the overall company on a solid growth trajectory," adding concern about the limited "visibility on the generic pipeline, where we believe TEVA is behind its peers." * 7 Reasons to Buy Housing Stocks in 2019 Still, there's enough potential in Teva Pharmaceuticals stock for BMO to initiate coverage on it, rating it a Market Perform … a call that leaves the door wide open to updated ratings in either direction.Nachman had a valid point, too, about the company's generics pipeline. From what can be gleaned about it, it's not necessarily scintillating.That's not exactly news though, to investors or to the company, or to other analysts for that matter. That's been a lingering problem at Teva to most professional and amateur observers.It may also be the groundwork for upgrades driven by the very pipeline BMO is concerned about.Even if unintentionally, most other analysts are doing the same. As of the latest look, the pros collectively rate TEVA stock at only a little better than a "Hold" but simultaneously sport a consensus price target of $20.50. That's 30% better than the stock's current price. Click to EnlargeThe superficial mismatch isn't stunningly unusual; most stocks are priced below their consensus targets regardless of the collective buy/sell opinion on those names.This particular disparity, however, is also mismatched with the "read between the lines" rhetoric. Teva stock has been upgraded three times so far this year, with two new-coverage initiations at Hold that may be precursors to expected upgrades.If those upgrades are going to materialize, though, they're going to do so thanks to only a handful of names in the company's drug portfolio and pipeline. Identifying Growth DriversWhile its bench of drugs is deep, Teva's flagship product is multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone.In its prime, Copaxone had no peers. It's past its prime though, largely thanks to generic alternatives that have hit the market just in the past couple of years. Mylan (NASDAQ:MYL) got the nod from the FDA in late 2017; Novartis (NYSE:NVS) is in the MS treatment race with its own version of Copaxone as well.Those rival drugs have taken a measurable toll. In 2016, Teva sold $4.2 billion worth of Copaxone, but that volume was almost halved to a little less than $2.4 billion last year.The bulk of the adverse impact of the generic multiple sclerosis treatment, however, is likely in the rearview mirror. Going forward, Teva shouldn't be fighting as much of a headwind on at least that one front.In the meantime, Ajovy and Austedo may be bigger growth drivers than BMO's Nachman is currently be letting on.Migraine drug Ajovy taps into a relatively underserved market. While Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) and Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN)/Novartis are also in the same market with Emgality and Aimovig, respectively, analysts at Israel's IBI anticipates peak sales of between $1.6 billion and $2.4 billion for Teva's Ajovy. Meanwhile, RBC Capital Markets analyst Randall Stanicky forecasts peak sales of $1.3 billion for Austedo. * 10 Tech Stocks That Transformed Their Business That level of success, along with the rest of the company's portfolio and pipeline, should restore solid growth even as the benefit of Copaxone shrinks.Also keep an eye on subsidiary Anda, which saw sales growth of 26% last quarter, reaching $363 million.The upshot for owners of Teva stock is that it's crystal clear where growth needs to come from. It won't be difficult to see what's working, and what's not, given the relatively small portfolio and pipeline. Bottom Line on Teva StockAgain, without saying as much, most Teva stock analysts may be quietly expecting a respectable turnaround, but are thus far unwilling to say as much without more tangible proof it's taking shape.Analysts' careers don't just depend on quality analysis, but on being 'right' even if that standard is unspoken. These professionals may be cautiously leading investors to a marketwide conclusion that the forward-looking P/E of 6.0 for Teva stock is simply too cheap to pass up, given the potential -- even if not the assured promise -- of a turnaround.Undoubtedly though, the rhetoric about slowing Copaxone's deterioration and the growth of Austedo and Ajovy will help shape investors' and analysts' opinion. Investors would be wise to focus on those three drugs as a barometer of how the market feels about Teva stock.As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Analysts at UBS on Friday downgraded shares of Biogen Inc. to neutral from buy, while cutting their price target on the stock to $242 from $395. "The failure of aducanumab leaves Biogen with a lack of visibility around a path back to top-line growth, and increasingly present threats to the base-business that investors had been willing to look past given the promise of Alzheimer's," analysts led by Carter Gould wrote. He cited competition to spinal muscular atrophy drug Spinraza from Roche Holding's ridiplam and threats to a 2028 patent on the company's multiple sclerosis drug Tecfidera, which is under review by trademark officials after competitor Mylan N.V. filed a patent challenge in July. Biogen's stock, which fell 1.5% in premarket trade Friday, plunged 29% on Thursday after the company announced it would be discontinuing Phase 3 trials for aducanumab, its much-hyped Alzheimer's drug.

Mylan N.V. said on Monday that it is voluntarily recalling two lots of its levoleucovorin injection due to the discovery of foreign particulates in the drug. Levoleucovorin is used to reduce harmful effects of methotrexate, a medication used to treat patients with osteosarcoma. It is also used in combination chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil to treat patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. Mylan said it discovered the presence of copper salts in the levoleucovorin during 12-month stability testing. Such particulates can lead to severe health complications like vasculitis, allergic reactions and pulmonary embolism. The drug maker has not received any reports of adverse events related to the recall and said it notified its distributors and customers by letter. Shares of Mylan have fallen 2.2% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 has gained 11.1%.
ROCKFORD, Ill., March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan Institutional LLC is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of two lots (see table below) of Levoleucovorin Injection, 250 mg/25 mL tothe consumer/user level.

[Editor's note: This story was previously published in February 2019. It has since been updated and republished.]Overall, the stock market has made a huge improvement at the start of 2019 from where it ended in 2018; it has been a complete turnaround from last year's drop, when stocks entered bear-market territory.But even though many stocks have completely erased all of their losses and made it back into the green, not all stocks have done so well. What this means is that while there are still plenty of duds out there, there are also a few undervalued stocks to buy; it has just become a little trickier to find them amid all the flashy comeback stories.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsTo find the best stocks to invest in now,disciplined investors might start with their own watch list, which should contain "wish list" stocks that are usually too expensive or have been put there to be on the backburner for later. Among such stocks, companies that got left out of the rally are the most compelling. Even better, the best undervalued stocks to invest in are those that dropped by double-digit percentages during the current rally.Why is that?Markets that are pricing in the negative news typically lower the risk for investors. Such companies may work to resolve the business problem at hand, which improves its prospects and leads to a higher share price in the long run. As long as the bad news reported is a temporary setback and the business model is not broken, the risks behind buying a stock on a dip are lower. * 7 Winning High-Yield Dividend Stocks With Payouts Over 5% With all of that in mind, here are five undervalued stocks to invest in that aren't as scary as they seem. Sony (SNE)Investors expected more from Sony's (NYSE:SNE) earnings report when the company posted results on Feb. 1. Revenue of 2.4 trillion yen in the third-quarter missed estimates for 2.67 trillion yen.Adding salt to the wound, many SNE investors are fretting over Sony's weaker sales outlook, with smartphone and camera sales lagging. On the flipside, the PlayStation 4 business still could rebound. Even though the console cycle is many years old, customers will continue to buy new game titles. And in the smartphone space, a refresh in the second half of this year may give customers a reason to buy a new Sony device again.Sony is clearly not a broken company, so the stock's drop from $50 on Feb. 1 to $46 appears overdone. Trading less than 10% above its 52-week low and about 25% below its 52-week high, Sony stock clearly deserves its spot among the best undervalued stocks to consider now. Celestica (CLS)Celestica (NYSE:CLS) reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.73 billion, up 10% from last year. Net earnings rose $46.5 million to $60.1 million, bringing in earnings of 44 cents a share. However, investors were unimpressed with the weak sequential revenue in its Communications, ATS and CCS segments, which were either flat or down. Still, revenue from all segments grew in the double digits from last year.Celestica ended the year with $422 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash fell $335 million for the year. And the balance sheet is not as strong as it could be, with non-IFRS debt leverage at 2.6X.The company supplies equipment in ATS -- aerospace and defense, industrial, smart energy, health tech and capital equipment. Its enterprise unit consists of servers and storage. Why then, should investors believe the company will offset the weakness it faces in the eroding semiconductor market?Celestica is cutting costs in operations to align the business with the lower revenue. It will continue to build its capital equipment business. Management believes the fundamentals in this space will only improve in the long run. As next-generation adoption in display continues, its OLED business, for example, will add to its bottom line.Celestica stock is an undervalued play worth considering. Allergan (AGN)Generic drug supplier Allergan (NYSE:AGN) fell over 10% in late January and early February for two reasons. First, its fourth-quarter earnings report did not please investors. Operating income sank 11.8% year-over-year, and revenue fell 5.8% YoY to $4.08 billion.On Feb. 1, the Food and Drug Administration approved Evolus' (NASDAQ:EOLS) Jeuveau. This product competes directly with Allergan's Botox. Pricing could come in at 20% below that of Botox, putting pressure on Allergan's bottom line.Be warned: it's likely that AGN stock will continue to sell off as investors price in the worst case scenario for Botox. Even though management already expects some pricing erosion, it is confident that the sales volume will taper off slowly. But this is good news for investors in search of a bargain, as the more the stock falls, the more discount value investors get on AGN stock.As Allergan launches new products this year, it will offset the negative impact of generic drug competition for Botox, making it an undervalued stock to watch. Innoviva (INVA)Innoviva (NASDAQ:INVA) is another stock in the drug space whose large drop starting in late January appears greatly overdone. The market all but erased the powerful uptrend in the stock that began after INVA sold off in November 2018 and bottomed at $14.The FDA approved Mylan's (NASDAQ:MYL) generic version of Advair, which GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) produces. This forced investors to worry about Innoviva's prospects because the company is paid royalties from Glaxo. In the third quarter, Innova received $65.1 million in royalty revenues from Glaxo; $51.7 million came from global net sales of Revar/Breo Ellipta.On Feb. 6, Innoviva reported revenue of $79.86 million, up 14.9% from last year. With the stock trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 7.7, the price-earnings-to-growth ratio is 0.39. As such, this general pessimism has created an appealing entry point to INVA stock. * 7 Winning High-Yield Dividend Stocks With Payouts Over 5% Investors appear to be overreacting to the generic competition. If demand for Innoviva's formulation does not drop and prices hold, royalty revenues should not fall as much as markets think, which makes INVA an ideal undervalued stock to invest in now. Vodafone (VOD)Telecom stocks are out of favor. For example, just look at AT&T (NYSE:T), which is down over 20% from its 52-week high. But Vodafone (NASDAQ: VOD) is down the most among the major names in the sector, falling over 40% from its 52-week high.Third-quarter results for VOD, which ended on Dec. 31, missed analysts' consensus sales forecasts. Vodafone continued to under-perform in Europe, due to rising competition. Although the company highlighted improving customer trends in Italy, Germany, and reduced churn in Spain, this was not enough to prevent revenue falling 5.6% in Europe and 6.8% overall.With all that bad news, it is little wonder why the stock has been marching lower. But VOD still has ways to mend the wound. The company could trim the dividend and re-allocate its resources toward advertising and capital expenditures. That would put it in a better position to compete with its European counterparts. And the stock would respond if those efforts lead to better revenue numbers.Vodafone shares pay a dividend yield in excess of 6%. If Vodafone grows its U.K. business as it signs on users to its 5G services and cuts costs as it signs on more customers, VOD stock will finally move higher.As of this writing, Chris Lau owned shares of Innoviva.

NV said the Securities and Exchange Commission closed a three-year-old investigation into real-estate dealings with a former director, without taking any enforcement action. The SEC had been looking into whether Mylan failed to properly disclose real-estate deals involving the company and its then-lead outside director, who has since left the board.

CANOGA PARK >> An order by an air district law panel Saturday to force SoCalGas to fund indoor air quality monitoring as thousands return to Porter Ranch-area homes after a four-month natural gas leak lasted an hour.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District Hearing Board, after a private huddle by air district and gas company attorneys, temporarily suspended its decision to modify a nuisance abatement order with the Southern California Gas Co. until public health officials had a chance to weigh in. The public hearing was continued to Wednesday at the AQMD headquarters in Diamond Bar..
The day-long hearing by the independent administrative law panel underscored the risk of upsetting the sweeping nuisance agreement between by the gas company and air regulators to control and monitor the nation's largest gas leak. The question: did the gas nuisance persist inside people's homes?
"There's ample evidence of a nuisance," said Hearing Board member Julie Prussack, who led the 3-2 motion to add indoor monitoring. "There's ample evidence of a discharge. There's ample evidence of needing to relocate a considerable number of residents because they discharged a contaminant into people's homes."
At risk was a community health study to be funded by SoCalGas, whose ruptured well at its Aliso Canyon Storage Facility north of Porter Ranch has spewed 100,000 metric tons of methane and other chemicals into the air since Oct. 23, forcing the relocation of nearly 7,759 households.
The leak was officially plugged Thursday, when most residents relocated at gas company expense to hotels and houses had eight days to return to their homes.
Weeks before, the hearing board had approved the carefully crafted stipulated nuisance abatement order that included requiring SoCalGas not only permanently shut down its leaking well, but monitor its gas field, publicize the air data and fund an independent health study to assess the effect of the nearly four-month leak on residents.
The gas company, however, has threatened to pull out without agreeing to changes in the stipulated agreement by both sides.
Robert A. Wyman, a Los Angeles attorney who represents SoCalGas, said there has been absolutely no evidence of any lurking gas long after the Porter Ranch gas leak. He said forcing the gas company to pay for indoor monitoring could change the terms of the entire abatement order.
"You've heard absolutely nothing. There's been no expert witnesses testifying at the district to that effect," Wyman said. "It is inappropriate for you to be considering an order for which there's absolutely no evidence.
"We cannot assure you that we won't come back to see a reconsideration of the order."
The AQMD hearing, held in the San Fernando Valley at the request of locally elected officials, drew about 50 residents to Canoga Park High School, which dwindled to a handful by mid-afternoon. About 15 residents testified, many saying they are afraid to return home.
"This is very scary for us. This is very real; I'm not just up there talking, There's a lot of fear," said Laurie Calman of Porter Ranch. "There's a lot of people that were displaced here, and we need to rebuild the trust."
Early in the day, air district officials said peak methane levels dropped dramatically after the leaking well SS-25 was controlled on Feb. 11, though gas continued to leak from the surrounding soil. Since then, there have been a half dozen odor complaints
U.S. Rep Brad Sherman, who lives in Porter Ranch, objected to forcing residents to return home before their kitchens, living and other rooms could be declared free of the chemicals that had caused so many to complain of nausea, headaches and respiratory illnesses.
"Immediate concern: should people be told they have to move back into their homes?" Sherman, D-Sherman Oaks, asked the five-member board. "You've heard about the monitoring, but they haven't checked the homes they're asking people to move back into. They haven't checked the indoor air quality, the carpets and the drapes. They haven't checked the pools. They haven't checked the soil.
"This should be part of what's required before people are told they should move back home."
Sherman reiterated his claim that the Aliso Canyon gas field – which supplies most of the gas for metropolitan Los Angeles – was "too big to fail, too big to exist." He also rebuked state regulators "who missed the last punt" in allowing the great gas escape.
He said every one of its remaining wells should be monitored for methane and mercaptan –- the gas detection additive blamed on making people sick – with instant data posted on the Internet.
He also called for a moratorium on injecting any gas back into depleted gas field until safety valves and other measures were installed on its remaining 114 wells.
"The community is relying on those who don't put industry first, but safety first," Sherman said. "Never again."
"Here's my big concern," added Scott Schmerelson, a trustee for the Los Angeles Angeles Unified School District, which includes two schools relocated in haste from Porter Ranch. "I'm afraid for the safety of those kids should there be another leak."
In a letter this month presented to the SCAQMD Hearing Board, Mayor Eric Garcetti asked that there be a transparent community health study, with SoCalGas barred from any input about the study contractor, lest there be any perceived conflict of interest.
Wyman, the SoCalGas attorney, said that with 47 lawsuits and scores of other complaints concerning the leak, it was vital the gas company was included, lest the health study influence pending litigation.
After a timeout by air district and gas company attorneys, the hearing board scuttled a motion to change the terms of its abatement order.
"You caved!" shouted a man in the audience.
"We know there's a tremendous distrust at this point," said Nancy Feldman, lead attorney for the air district. "There are sometimes you have to ask for a little more time, a little more patience and a little more faith, in protecting public health."

Conference to be held in Manchester
FOOTBALL – the people's game or a cash cow blighted by prejudice and greed?
Football Conference. Issues surrounding football in the age of austerity, fan ownerships of clubs, racism and sexuality are just some of the subjects that will be discussed by experts from across the world at the forthcoming Manchester Metropolitan University
Hillsborough Justice Campaign representative Sheila Coleman will be just one of the speakers at this year's conference, on Thursday, June 14th and Friday, June 15th while keynote speeches will be given by Guardian journalist David Conn and Kevin Moore, director of the National Football Museum.
Academics from as far afield as Oslo, Madrid, Malaysia, Germany, Thailand, Poland and the USA will be attending the conference, along with people who work on the frontline of the football industry.
Dr Chris Porter, one of the organisers of the conference, said: "Following the huge success of last year's conference, we're really pleased to have the opportunity to be once again critically examining football's place in the community. Sociology lecturer
"We have secured some fantastic speakers, and we know this will be a fascinating event for academics, supporters and practitioners alike."
On Thursday, June 14th, both Roy Krovel, from Oslo and Akershus University College for Applied Sciences, and Dr Dan Burdsey and Dr Jayne Caudwell, from the University of Brighton, will be looking at how issues of sexuality are addressed in football.
Phil Downs, disability liaison officer at Manchester United, will be speaking about how the club has been working to incorporate accessibility and disability into their culture, while Dr Stacey Pope, from the University of Bedfordshire, will be exploring the idea that female football fans are believed to be somehow less authentic than their male peers.
Four presentations will look at questions of austerity and sustainability, including issues of "financial fair play" and the effect of austerity on England's Euro 2012 campaign.
The presentations will look at activism, resistance and fan ownership, with MMU's Dr Chris Porter looking at the cultural politics of fan ownership with the provocatively-titled "This is FC United, don't bring football into this."
A panel for all delegates will feature speakers Piara Power, from the FARE Network, Mark Abrahams, of Methyr Tydfil FC, David Treharne, trustee of Exeter City FC, Manchester football historian Gary James and John Hurst, from the Manchester FA.

Football hooliganism will be the focus of one session on Friday, June 15th, while international academics and Denise Lambert from the National Football Museum will be looking at questions surrounding football, youth and education.
A third session will question the notion of the "beautiful" game in the light of continued problems of racism, while later sessions will look at football in its local and global context, and the way the game and the media interact.
The first MMU Football Conference took place last year and also focussed on the game and its communities. The conferences are organised by the MMU Football Research Cluster, part of the Faculty of Humanities.
The full programme for this year's conference is available athttp://www.hssr.mmu.ac.uk/mmufc/2013-conference-football/. Tickets cost £125 for both days, or £75 for concessions.

Brown is an excellent color that can do a lot for you. For starters, did you know that in the 1940s, only brown clothing was produced? That way, Americans could be constantly camouflaged, in case of enemy combatants. Of course, nowadays, we don't need brown that much... at least until the zombies arrive. Then you might want some camo.

I get a feeling this is going to be the best year. Better yet, I KNOW this is going to be the best year. How do I know this? Well its simple, because I am going to make it the best year yet! And to make sure this prediction comes true, I have some great content lined up for you guys so make sure you stay tuned.
Also, If you enjoy the images and content on this site feel free to check out my exclusive library which holds a few tips and secrets as how to how you can also share some of your thoughts, images and ideas with the world. Now that I got a bit of my rambling out the way, lets get to the good stuff, the entire reason you came here, THAT'S RIGHT THE JUNKANOO FESTIVAL.
Before I can describe exactly what the Junkanoo festival is, I need to fill in a few details of how I even stumbled across this awesome event. Well, it all begins with a family cruise. Our family decided to go on a remembrance cruise, the same way we did when we were children. Upon boarding the enormous Majesty of the Sea, memories of childhood instantly returned. The most prominent memory being the all you can eat buffets offered for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
That's right, all the bacon, eggs, waffles, stir-fry, tofu, fruit desserts and nearly any other dish you can think of were completely unlimited. This was definitely the second most spectacular event of the entire cruise. Because lets face it, FOOD IS LIFE. Now that we have boarded the majestic ship, you may be wondering where we are headed? Answer, the Bahamas. Upon arriving we walked around and noticed all of the tourist traps while dodging the seemingly pricey excursions.
We walked the beach and took several pics as you can see but as we walked we began to notice a large amount of people and music originating from the end of the beach. Naturally our curiosity fueled our legs and we gravitated towards the area. Upon arriving we were completely surprised to see tons of people in costume preparing for some type of parade. We asked a few locals what the parade was for and they answered THE JUNKANOO FESTIVAL.
Junkanoo Festival
Now that I have given you a bit of bask story, its time to answer our previous question, WHAT IS THE JUNKANOO FESTIVAL. Well to answer it in layman's terms, it is a large festival celebrating independence. But to be a bit more specific, it is believed that the Junkanoo Festival originiated from the three days off slaves were given at Christmas. They celebrated these 3 days with masks, costumes, singing and dancing.
Other speculations regarding the history of the Junkanoo festival state there was a West African prince by the name of John Canoe that outwitted the English becoming a hero.
Regardless of your beliefs about the history of this amazing festival, we can all agree that it is extremely fun and attracts viewers from all over the world. We had never planned to observe this festival and were thrilled to find out we just so happened to be on the island the day of the event.
Junkanoo Performance
The performer's musicians and dancers were all extremely skilled; They marched, danced and played completely in rhythm. The numerous costumes and routines were hypnotizing. Popular movies such as Toy story and Pocahontas were all represented at this festival. Interestingly enough, all of these costumes were created by hand! The students created their unique costumes from various materials and put a large amount of details into them. I can only imagine how many hours this took but they certainly whore them with pride.
I hope you enjoyed my quick explanation and exploration of the Junkanoo festival. More images from the festival can be found BELOW, definitely check them out to see some of these amazing performers in action. If you have been to this festival or enjoyed this post feel free to drop a comment below. Finally If you have the time and even if you do not, definitely look into this festival, you will not be disappointed. Well that is it for this time, until next time STAY BOUNDLESS!!!

text: Dr. Eamonn Butler March 17, 2010 Healthcare Healthcare: No need for a vote Dr. Eamonn Butler March 17, 2010 Healthcare 4925 healthcare-no-need-for-a-vote US Congressional Democrat leaders are looking desperate to save Obama's healthcare plan. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi even seems to have worked out a way to pass the measure without bothering with the inconvenience of a vote (and the threat of a Republican filibuster in the Senate. Under this cunning plan, the House simply 'deems' the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. Representatives would simply be voting for a procedural motion – so they can't be pinned down as voting one way or the other on the Obamacare measure itself. Much easier all round. Indeed, the Congressional Record would not even have to show who voted which way. All very convenient, especially to those who want to support Obamacare without admitting it to their electors. Citizens can hardly get annoyed at how you voted, if you didn't actually get to vote. Of course, the Republicans are not shy of using procedural tricks themselves, and used precisely this tactic in order to raise America's debt limit. The Democrats then took them to court for subverting the legislative process. (But no doubt they think it's different this time.) Alas, the court action was unsuccessful, so now the Republicans can hardly take the moral high ground. The result is that, without anyone in the House of Representatives voting for it, Obamacare will be signed into law with great flourish and fanfare, and about a sixth of the US national income will be diverted into socialised medicine – exactly the sort of bureaucratic monopoly that we in the UK are trying to unravel. Is this sleight-of-hand all a betrayal of the constitution by a self-obsessed political class that is estranged from life beyond the Beltway? Interesting question: let's take a vote on it. Eamonn's DIY manual for fixing Britain – The Alternative Manifesto – is now out. Get it here.
