Pink Floyd: Last Great, Last Good, First Bad Album Roundtable
It's weird to think that Pink Floyd released six albums between their debut LP, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and the unimpeachable The Dark Side of the Moon.
Between these obvious creative poles, the band searched for direction after the exit of their original leader Syd Barrett: experimenting with orchestrations (Atom Heart Mother), scoring films (More), and even recording solo pieces on a single album (Ummagumma). These guys have recorded some of the greatest rock music ever — but they've also made a lot of filler.
That's what makes their catalog a perfect choice for our latest roundtable. Read on below as five UCR contributors debate the band's last great, last good and first bad album.
1) What was the last great Pink Floyd album?
Michael Gallucci: The Wall is the last album where they sound like a band, rather than a solo vehicle for Roger Waters (The Final Cut) or David Gilmour and some session guys (the post-Waters LPs). More importantly, it's the last album by the key lineup where the music isn't weighed down by a heavy-handed concept.
Allison Rapp: I really think The Wall was the last time everyone was on the same page, or at least awful close to it — physically as a quartet, but also emotionally. Crafting a concept album of that length and stature takes a lot of guts and interpersonal communication among band members, and it seems The Wall was the last time Pink Floyd was able to achieve that level of mutual artistic understanding. Barrett would have been proud.
Ryan Reed: The Wall. Technically Roger Waters stuck around for one more Pink Floyd LP, The Final Cut — but that album, despite its pristine production and seamlessly executed concept, lacks the full-band synergy that still lingered on its predecessor. Like on Final Cut, Waters dominates The Wall, but Gilmour's touch defines most of the centerpiece tracks: the tightly coiled disco-rock of "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)," the grinding hard rock of "Young Lust," the sublime narcotic swirl of "Comfortably Numb."
Nick DeRiso: Animals. Pink Floyd pushes back — and hard — against the looming, punk-driven idea that they had grown soft into middle age. Today, it's clear that Animals also represents the first stirrings of Waters' more political bent — one that would dominate his recordings past his association with the group he co-founded. The Wall became Waters' most personal album, his greatest individual triumph — but also the stone that dragged Pink Floyd down.
Corey Irwin: Maybe my standards are too high, but to be "great" I believe an album must be among the essential releases of a band's catalog. The Wall was the final LP in an impressive quartet of albums - following The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975) and Animals (1977). It remains one of rock's signature albums. Nothing that followed came close to matching its greatness.
2) What was the last good Pink Floyd album?
Gallucci: The Final Cut isn't terrible — it just doesn't sound much like a Pink Floyd album. And as far as Waters' solo albums go, it's better than most. But it also seems like the endgame for all those records that culminated in The Wall: big, heavy conceptual works that make sense only as a total piece.
Rapp: There are some cool gems on Obscured by Clouds, like "Wot's ... Uh the Deal?" and "The Gold It's in the ... ." It's certainly not an astounding record — it jumps around quite a bit stylistically — but it's a good setup for their next couple of albums. It was as if they used Obscured By Clouds to work out just a couple of last kinks before really hitting their stride through the '70s. Everything in the golden era between The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall ranks as not just good but great, and after that, nothing else really seemed to stick.
Reed: The Division Bell lacks the edge and distinct voice of the Waters era, but it proved Gilmour could successfully carry the band into a new era. With Richard Wright now fully integrated back into the lineup (even co-writing several tracks and singing lead on one, "Wearing the Inside Out"), they sounded closer to a legit band — recreating the widescreen sound (if not quite the quality) of LPs like Wish You Were Here.
DeRiso: The Division Bell, a long, slow exhale after the novelization of Pink Floyd on The Wall and The Final Cut. Sure, the songs, written without the Waters, often weren't as narratively strong. But with Gilmour, Wright and Nick Mason each finally making important musical contributions again, Division Bell nonetheless emerged as Pink Floyd's clearest group effort since perhaps Wish You Were Here.
Irwin: The Division Bell had some promise. Of the Roger Waters-less releases, this was Pink Floyd's strongest. We got a return to psych-rock, as well as a true collaborative effort (unlike 1987's David Gilmour solo album pretending to be a Pink Floyd LP, A Momentary Lapse of Reason). "Lost For Words" and "High Hopes" were underrated gems, while "What Do You Want From Me" offered some of the band's most searing lyrics in decades. Division Bell by no means compared to the band's greatest works, but it also doesn't deserve the criticism it's received.
3) What was the first bad Pink Floyd album?
Gallucci: Granted, their third album, More, came out during one of the band's many transitional periods, but with Syd Barrett totally out of the picture this time around, Pink Floyd seems to be grasping for some sorta direction. The fact that More doubles as a soundtrack album for a movie few people have seen doesn't help. Many of the songs sound unfinished and aimless.
Rapp: Ummagumma makes very little sense to me, not that Pink Floyd ever particularly valued doing things by the book. But there's just so much happening at once and not in a good way. More does not always mean better. Neither does longer.
Reed: I'm not a More hater like many Pink Floyd fans — I enjoy the psychedelic spy theme atmosphere of "Title Theme," the unleashed heavy rock mayhem of "Ibiza Bar" and Gilmour's hazy folk lullaby "Green Is the Colour." But as a front-to-back album, the soundtrack often feels aimless, and there isn't a single "classic" song to be found. Without the visual accompaniment, we should grade on a curve — but no matter how you slice it, it's hard to rank More above the other post-Barrett/pre-Meddle records. (I'm giving the edge to Ummagumma, which has some killer live material on the first side.)
DeRiso: Ummagumma. Pink Floyd wasn't quick to discover a post-Syd Barrett direction. Here, they settled on the idea of presenting solo material — and that only served to illustrate the concept of a sum being greater than its parts. Gilmour later admitted he "just bullshitted" through his piece. Really, they all did.
Irwin: I hate labeling an album "bad," especially since any release inevitably influences the material that follows it. Still, for the sake of argument, I'll go with 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason. From the bloated guest-star list to Gilmour's domination over the songs, it all just felt so unnecessary. The material was uninspired and lacked the depth fans had come to expect from the group. It's not a shock that Pink Floyd's first LP without Waters was subpar, but the degree of falloff was substantial.
4) Which Pink Floyd album just missed being good?
Gallucci: Is it cheating to say The Final Cut again? "Not Now John" is the only song Waters didn't write by himself; Gilmour is given co-writer credit and sings the song. And it's one of the best on the album. Had Waters given more space to his bandmates here, The Final Cut could have been a proper follow-up to The Wall.
Rapp: The Final Cut misses the mark for me. The palpable cohesion stretching from The Dark Side of the Moon to The Wall just doesn't seem as present. There are several fantastic tracks — "The Gunner's Dream," "Your Possible Pasts" — but the fact that this was essentially a Waters solo album with guest appearances from the other members sort of dampens the whole mood. They may have labeled it as a Pink Floyd album, but it doesn't sound like a whole band endeavor.
Reed: The jokes write themselves, but A Momentary Lapse of Reason still feels like an appropriate title for Pink Floyd's first post-Waters LP. Instead of trying to soundtrack deep space, Gilmour and Mason (with Wright as a guest contributor) aimed for the expanse of stadiums — with hit-or-miss results. The production is sterile and suffocating, and Waters' signature darkness is missed. But the album's recent remix drastically improved these songs, bringing new life to the percussive "One Slip" and Hammond-heavy "The Dogs of War."
DeRiso: The Final Cut. By this point, Wright was already out the door, and Gilmour clearly didn't feel like fighting anymore. He had only one vocal and a few bursts of guitar brilliance. The rest was Waters, who unleashes a series of searing diatribes on the kind of conflicts that tore his family apart — but without the magisterial musical accompaniment that used to give them flight.
Irwin: There's a lot of weirdness to Meddle, thanks to the experimental nature of its creation. The band pushed the boundaries of structures, sounds, tempos, chords and just about any other song characteristic you can think of. It was very much a throw-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks kind of environment, perfect for expanding creativity, but not great for making commercially accessible material. Still, the ingredients were there for something provocative, not just the willingness to experiment, but the blending of influences from folk, prog and psychedelic rock. It's a solid record but falls short of being one of Pink Floyd's true classics.
5) If they got back together do you believe Pink Floyd could make another great album?
Gallucci: No. It's been more than 40 years since any of the members have done anything truly great. They can't manage it on their own, so why should we expect anything different from collaboration?
Rapp: The only way they might be able to create something worthy of coming together would be if they could rewind time and start anew with Barrett back in the lineup. For better or for worse, he brought something to the band that was never really replaced. Otherwise, no, it's curtains for Pink Floyd.
Reed: I assume we're talking about a Waters/Gilmour/Mason lineup. Those three could easily make a good album — the latter two have been specializing in "good enough" for years now. "Great" is a bit trickier. They'd be missing a crucial link in the late Wright, their underrated (and under-utilized) third writer. And with all that bad blood still flowing, it's hard to imagine any real collaboration without hardcore producer intervention. All that to say: probably not.
DeRiso: No. They struggled to even agree on a setlist for the band's unexpected reunion at Live 8 – and time hasn't healed any wounds. They're still squabbling over petty things, like the official website. Meanwhile, Wright's subsequent death seems to have made the whole idea moot, anyway.
Irwin: Could they? Sure, but only if all remaining members were part of it. That means not just a Pink Floyd album in name, but that Waters, Mason and Gilmour would be involved. Many talented artists have created amazing art in the face of uncomfortable working conditions. If these three could channel their animosity into something creative - rather than biting each other's heads off - I bet the band could come up with something extraordinary. The talent is still there.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. His genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of unquenchable curiosity and feverishly inventive imagination. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote. Marco Rosci states that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.
Born out of wedlock to a notary, Piero da Vinci, and a peasant woman, Caterina, in Vinci in the region of Florence, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter Verrocchio. Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan. He later worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, and he spent his last years in France at the home awarded him by Francis I.
Leonardo was, and is, renowned primarily as a painter. Among his works, the Mona Lisa is the most famous and most parodied portrait and The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time, with their fame approached only by Michelangelos The Creation of Adam.Leonardos drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also regarded as a cultural icon, being reproduced on items as varied as the euro coin, textbooks, and T-shirts. Perhaps fifteen of his paintings have survived, the small number because of his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless, these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, compose a contribution to later generations of artists rivalled only by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.
Leonardo is revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualised flying machines, an armoured vehicle, concentrated solar power, an adding machine, and the double hull, also outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or were even feasible during his lifetime, but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. He made important discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics, but he did not publish his findings and they had no direct influence on later science.

I got back to where the hawk was perched and pulled off the road on the opposite side of the street. It was still facing the other way but when I was able to look at it with out worrying about swerving into opposing traffic I was sure that it was not a red-tail. Then it turned its head and I knew exactly what it was.
There have been a lot of reports lately of red-shouldered hawk sightings. This is strange because most of the population migrates to warmer climates during the winter months.
Fortunately this red-shoulder was very cooperative. He took off from the wire and landed on a fence that was about eye level to me as I sat in my truck.
The red-shoulders hawks prefered habitat is deciduous or mixed deciduous-conifer forests and swamps. They prefer having dead trees around on which ti perch so that they can get an unobstructed view as they scan the forest floor for prey. Their prey consists mostly of rodents, squirrels, rabbits, snakes, lizards and frogs.Red-shoulders are monogamous and territorial. Breeding accures between April and July with the same nest often reused from year to year, although they may refurbish it in the spring.Red-shouldered hawks live an average of only about 2 years in the wild. Even though they have very few predators, great horned owls and raccoons are a threat to the eggs, chicks and incubating adult, collisions with cars, buildings and other man mad objects as well as habbitat loss are contributing factors to their short life expectency.

I've been diving with the great white sharks at Isla Guadalupe for 13 years now. Over time, I've come to marvel at the healing ability
of the sharks, the mysteries of their migration, their distinctly
different personalities and most of all, and this is what blows my mind,
the fact that I can go to Guadalupe and know that I will see, not just
any great white shark, but a particular individual great white shark.
white sharks are not resident to any given location, like say a clown
fish, where you know that if you go to that particular spot, you're
going to see that individual fish. The great white sharks that we see at
Guadalupe are a highly migratory species that travel thousands of miles and typically return to the island each year. (every other year for adult females)
here's the way I look at it. Say you live in a town or city, but I
don't have your address. If I just come into your town at random and
hang out, I may never run into you at all. With these sharks, I look at
the great wide ocean and know that I can find "Bite Face," "Jaques" or
"Bruce" and have been able to do so, consistently, for 13 years. Others,
like our friend on the left, "Quetzalcoatl,"(OK I didn't name him) take a prolonged vacation of 8 years and return. "Where have you been, buddy?"
fact that these world travelers (I mean, who doesn't want to vacation
in Hawaii) return to Guadalupe Island, each season makes this Island a very
important place, not just for us shark divers, but for the species
itself. I'm happy to say that Mexico has declared the Island a
biosphere; roughly the equivalent of a national park in the U.S. I
want to applaud Mexico for taking that step in protecting the Island and the great white sharks that visit there annually.
The Island itself is a marvel of its own. There are many native species of plants that only exist on Guadalupe Island and it is a nesting ground for many migratory birds like the Albatross.
is over 4000 feet high at it's highest spot and creates its own weather
pattern. The island blocks the clouds and we usually have bright sunny
skies above us, even if it's cloudy all around us.
The clouds cascading over the mountains create an amazing backdrop for our shark divers and make for some memorable pictures.
You can join us on one of our expeditions and meet these shark yourself. We have a few openings left for this year and are already booking for 2016. For more information visit http://www.sharkdiver.com/dive-packages/great-white-shark-diving/ or call us at 619.887.4275. Email email@example.com

Earl Weaver always knew how to pick his moments. The man who was the ninth winningest manager in baseball, who took his Baltimore Orioles to four World Series (victorious in one), won six division titles and notched five 100-win seasons, had a virtuoso's sense for how to play the keys of his lineup—inserting precisely the right situation player to bat against precisely the right pitcher, or pitch to precisely the right batter, because he knew better than those players themselves how they fared against southpaws, in hot weather, on Sunday afternoons after an extra-inning game of more than 12 innings the night before. He knew when to pick a fight too—when to bait an umpire or tear up a rule book or hurl a third-base bag in order to fire up his team or gin up the fans and likely as not get thrown out of the game for his troubles, which happened nearly 100 times in the course of his fiery career.
It was that sense of not only how to play the game but when to exit it that seemed to be on display this week when Weaver, 82, died while aboard an Orioles fantasy cruise, just two days before the Baltimore Ravens upset the heavily favored New England Patriots to advance to the Super Bowl. The fans who had been mourning the passing of a well-loved legend were suddenly whooping in the streets and thronging from the bars in much the way they did after all of Weaver's championships so many years—decades, actually—back. It would hardly have suited Weaver to have done things the other way—checking out in the midst of a football celebration and spoiling the city's fun.
(MORE: Remembering Art Modell, Former Owner of Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns)
Much has been written both since and before Weaver's passing about his pugnacity, the finger-in-the-eye combativeness that seemed so suited to the city in which he was lionized. The 5-ft. 7-in. manager with the low-budget team always seemed to be punching above his weight, just as Baltimore—the lunch-bucket town lost between the glittery New York to its north and stately Washington to its south—had to do. And that was how Baltimoreans seemed to like it.
I grew up in Baltimore during the city's golden age of sports—not just the era of Weaver but the era of the Baltimore Colts, who won back-to-back world championships in 1958 and 1959 and played in two of the first five Super Bowls. In my family, love of sports wasn't so much taught as simply offered. It was my Grandfather who took me to my first Orioles game, and if I were a Certain Breed of Baseball Poet, I'd say I was dazzled by the brilliant greensward of the diamond, seduced by the balletic exactitude of the game and felt a deep sense of bucolic peace, sitting by my grandfather as both the clock-less game and the summer day unspooled at a lazy pace all their own.
But I'm not a Certain Breed of Baseball Poet and I suspect I was bored, squirming in my seat and more interested in the popcorn vendor and the hot dog guy than I was in what was happening on the field. My grandfather likely wouldn't have helped. He adored baseball and no doubt hoped I would too, but he was not the kind to go all rhapsodic on you. This is the game, this is your team. You're a smart boy; learn to love them. I did—it wasn't hard. I came to the Colts in much the same way.
Baltimore has in some ways been kinder to sport than sport has been to it. The small-market town was crushed by the big spending cities in the early years of baseball's free-agent wars and made do with a smart farm system and a lot of young talent, which it hoped to hold onto for a few seasons at least, until the Yankees or the Angels or the Dodgers lured them away. The NFL sat on its hands when the Baltimore Colts skulked out of town at 3 AM in 1984, slipping off to Indianapolis in a betrayal that was equal parts stunning and, for a town with a lot to prove, humiliating. There is some satisfaction in Baltimore that the franchise was forever marked by the low and furtive nature of its departure—Google Baltimore Colts and "middle of the night" and you'll get 348,000 hits. And while Baltimore eventually picked Cleveland's pocket the same way—luring the Browns away with the promise of a new stadium and all of the other goodies that go along with such sweetheart deals—there is indignation that the league allowed Cleveland to keep its colors, nickname and records and was granted a new team in just three years, while Baltimoreans waited more than a decade for the NFL's return and forever must endure the sting of seeing the Colts horseshoe being celebrated in another town.
(MORE: For The Super Bowl, A Family Affair)
Still, Baltimore got by and worked a curious kind of magic on the teams that came to play. The Canadian Football League fielded a team in Baltimore for two years—and it won the Grey Cup in 1995. The defunct United States Football League had a Baltimore franchise for just one year—1985—and it too won its league's championship. Small beer surely, but better than nothing—a little.
Meantime, the Orioles—post-Weaver—went into a nearly 20-year swoon, finally playing the big-payroll game but doing it all wrong—with money but no smarts, marquee names but no class. Remember Roberto Alomar spitting at an umpire? Remember Albert Belle—just being Albert Belle? The Washington Post's Thomas Boswell once described those teams as "fan-repellant," which was a pejorative as apt as it was earned.
The Orioles' long, 14-year playoff drought ended this season, as a young, well-managed—and well-behaved—team at last re-charmed the city it had alienated for so long. That too may have given Weaver the sense that he could safely go—that the house he had built had at last been put right again. That the Ravens returned to the Super Bowl in the same season offers Baltimore something of a redemption—a restoration to the sports primacy it enjoyed for so long. It won't last—it can't last, not in the era of NFL parity and MLB profligacy, with teams like the Yankees and Phillies and Red Sox and Angels shoveling money at players in ways that the Pirates and Royals and Orioles of the league can't.
Still, the moment is sweet, and I suspect it's one my grandfather would have loved. In 1984, not long after that year's baseball season ended, my grandmother—his wife of nearly 60 years—died. He bore it as I always assumed he would—with grace and good humor and not a little Old Forester. After the funeral, he retreated to his den where he liked to listen to baseball games, and sat quietly for a long while. My brother went in to check on him and asked him how he was doing. "Well," my grandfather responded, "at least spring training starts in four months." It will start this year too, as it does every year, and now and again, as Baltimore is today appreciating, that wheel of the seasons can lead to great things.

Linda Jakobson of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that potential Arctic sea routes to New York and Europe have attracted the attention of the Chinese: China prepares for an ice-free Arctic:
Because China's economy is reliant on foreign trade, there are substantial commercial implications if shipping routes are shortened during the summer months each year. Nearly half of China's gross domestic product (GDP) is thought to be dependent on shipping. The trip from Shanghai to Hamburg via the Northern Sea Route—which runs along the north coast of Russia from the Bering Strait in the east to Novaya Zemlya in the west—is 6400 kilometres shorter than the route via the Strait of Malacca and the Suez Canal... Moreover, due to piracy, the cost of insurance for ships travelling via the Gulf of Aden towards the Suez Canal increased more than tenfold between September 2008 and March 2009.
The prospect of the Arctic being navigable during summer months as a result of climate change has impelled the Chinese Government to allocate more resources to research in the High North. Several Chinese academics have encouraged their government to be aware of the political, economic and military implications of shorter shipping routes and untapped energy resources. However, Chinese officials advocate cautious Arctic policies for fear of causing alarm and provoking countermeasures among the Arctic states.
China's insistence on respect for sovereignty as a guiding principle of international relations deters it from questioning the territorial rights of Arctic states. Furthermore, China is aware that its size and rise to major power status evoke jitters, but at the same time it is striving to position itself so that it will not be excluded from access to the Arctic.
There are opportunities for small Arctic states (Norway, Greenland/Denmark, Iceland?):
Smaller Arctic Council members have an opportunity to lay the foundation for a unique relationship with China by engaging Chinese officials and academics on Arctic issues—ranging from climate change and maritime rescue operations to commercial shipping routes and resource exploration.
The Financial Times had a story on the report on March 1: China looks to Arctic shipping route.

It was the Rainbow gave thee birth,
And left thee all her lovely hues;
And, as her mother's name was Tears,
So runs it in my blood to choose
For haunts the lonely pools, and keep
In company with trees that weep.
Go you and, with such glorious hues,
Live with proud peacocks in green parks;
On lawns as smooth as shining glass,
Let every feather show its marks;
Get thee on boughs and clap thy wings
Before the windows of proud kings.
Nay, lovely Bird, thou art not vain;
Thou hast no proud, ambitious mind;
I also love a quiet place
That's green, away from all mankind;
A lonely pool, and let a tree
Sigh with her bosom over me.

To keep your hair colour looking fresh, there are 3 simple steps to follow:
1- Get your hair coloured by the best
A professional colourist will be able to give you not only the best L'Oréal Professionnel colour selection, but also a colouration session that will allow the colour to deeply infuse itself into the hair for a long-lasting result.
2- Use haircare products for coloured hair
Even the best colouration might have a hard time staying vibrant if not treated with the correct haircare products. Make sure you stick to shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair, and use a hair mask treatment once a week.
3- Wash your hair less
Washing your hair on a daily basis can strip its fibers of natural oils, leaving it dry and dull, and also make your new hair colour slowly loose its strength and vibrancy. If you still want to wash your hair every day, make sure you use shampoo and conditioner for colour treated hair, and try tinted hair masques for a hair colour revitalization.

GAO Report: NASA: Assessments of Selected Large-Scale Projects
What GAO Found
GAO assessed 18 NASA projects with a combined life-cycle cost of more than $50 billion. Of those, 10 out of 13 projects that had entered the implementation phase experienced signifi cant cost and/or schedule growth. For these 10 projects, development costs increased by an average of 13 percent from baseline cost estimates that were established just 2 or 3 years ago and they had an average launch delay of 11-months. In some cases, cost growth was considerably higher than what is reported because it had occurred prior to the most recent baseline. Many of the projects we reviewed experienced challenges in developing new technologies or retrofi tting older technologies as well as in managing their contractors, and more generally, understanding the risks and challenges they were up against when they started their efforts.
GAO's previous work has consistently shown that reducing the kinds of problems this assessment identifi es in acquisition programs hinges on developing a sound business case for a project. In essence, this means establishing fi rm requirements, maturing technologies, and assuring other vital resources, such as time and funding, are suffi cient before making long-term commitments to acquisitions. NASA has acted to adopt practices that would ensure programs proceed based on a sound business case and undertaken an array of initiatives aimed at improving program management, cost estimating, and contractor oversight. Continued attention to these efforts should help maximize NASA's acquisition investments.

Essential Oil Pill Prevents PMS, Study Suggests
ScienceDaily (Jan. 16, 2011) — A pill containing a mix of essential oils has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Reproductive Health tested the tablets by carrying out a randomised, controlled trial in 120 women.
Edilberto Rocha Filho worked with a team of researchers from the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil, to conduct the tests. He said, "The administration of 1 or 2 grams of essential fatty acids to patients with PMS resulted in a significant decrease in symptom scores. Furthermore, the administration of the dietary supplement did not result in any changes in the total cholesterol in the patients evaluated."
Women who were given capsules containing 2 grams of a combination of gamma linolenic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, other polyunsaturated acids and vitamin E reported significantly eased PMS symptoms at both 3 and 6 months after they began the treatment. Few adverse events were recorded and these were mild, insignificant and did not appear to be directly related to the medication. Speaking about the results, Rocha Filho said, "The negative effect of PMS on a woman's routine activities and quality of life may be significant, in addition to the repercussions on economic costs resulting predominantly from a reduction in productivity. Essential oil capsules can now be said to show much promise as a treatment."

What do you know about extended car warranty tele-sales? I've become frustrated by these robotic phone calls. Despite a two-year reign as unwanted telemarketing champions, these guys are still going strong. Can someone stop them? Local police? State investigators? Federal agents? For some reason they appear to be unstoppable. At least once every six weeks I get a call on my cell phone. I used to hang up, but lately I've been answering their questions, occasionally posing my own questions to them. I'm usually pretty skilled at coaxing information out of telemarketers, but these guys are dug in. They aren't giving up anything. It's like they know we hate them. And yet, they still call. Let's get them. Let's figure out who they are, Let's figure out where they work. There is only a small bit I can do on my own. Can you help? Step 1. Warning: For God's sake, don't buy a policy. Step 2. I usually tell them about my fictitious 2004 Honda Accord with 81,000 miles on it. Runs beautifully. Please gather information about the people on the other end of the line. They won't want to give you anything, so be clever about it. Try to get their company name, the city where they are working and information about how many people they work with, and how many people they talk to each day. Find out if they work on commission, or if they get paid by the hour. Be nice. Pretend you are going to buy a policy. Ask if the policy covers a broken windshield. Ask if it covers the floor mats. Ask what the dude had for lunch. Does he get time off for lunch? Do any women work there? In my experience, they would like to charge you $2,750 for a 5 year/ 150,000 mile warrantee. They are eager to bill your Visa or Mastercard for a $295 "down payment", followed by 18 easy payments of $132 per month. They will probably let you know where you can use this extended warranty. They told me I could use it at Carmichael Honda or Mel Rapton Honda. Indeed I can use it at any factory authorized service department. I checked. Sacramento Service Departments Speak about Extended Car Warranty Tele-sales. They say their warrantee will pay 100% of my repairs, with $0 deductible, plus towing, roadside assistance and a rental car. Also, if your car breaks down more than 100 miles from home, they will reimburse you for a hotel and dinner up to $225! I'm not making this up! In fact, the warranty sounds so good that I doubt it really exists. The closer they get to having your credit card information, the more questions they may answer, but for heaven's sake don't buy anything. Step 3. |

… I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Exodus 15:26
Spiritual mind healing has long since passed the experimental stage. We now know that we cannot tell where the body begins and the mind leaves off, and many of us believe that the actions, organs, and functions of the physical body really are activities of the Divine Intelligence within us. To come to realize, then, that there is One Body, which is the Body of God, and which at the same time is our own body, is to indraw a greater spirit of Life. We should daily affirm that:
There is one Life, that Life is God, that Life is my life now. Every organ, action and function of my physical body is in harmony with the Divine Life. There is perfect circulation, perfect assimilation and perfect elimination. If there is anything in me that does not belong, it is removed. If there is anything that my physical being needs that it does not appear to have, it will be supplied. My body is daily renewed after the image of perfection with which it must be held in the Mind of God. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which art in heaven is perfect."
I affirm that my body is the Body of God; it is a body of right ideas all working in harmony with each other. The Life of the Spirit does circulate through it, the Law of the Spirit does govern it, the Love of the Spirit does sustain it. Therefore I sleep in peace and wake in joy and live in the continual acceptance that life is good. My whole experience is God. My whole life is God in action. For I am one with all Life and all Power.

During his State of the Union address, President Obama made the obligatory reference to "equal pay for equal work" as part of a larger public debate which has been going on for some time now. There have been numerous articles in liberal and conservative publications, countless white papers, and an endless parade of political pundits on cable news trying to diagnose the problems of women in the workplace, their families, and our society at large. However, the arguments of both right and left in the so-called "war on women" are really symptoms of the deeper problem of the welfare state.
On the left, the bogeyman of choice is that women are still treated as inherently inferior to men in the workplace without noting that women often choose motherhood over a career in business or academia. On the right, the Supreme Court cases which opened up unrestricted access to contraception and abortion are presented as the root of our present difficulties. There is no question that women do not make as much money as men or that abortion is one of the greatest evils that humanity has ever faced. However, these facts did not spontaneously arise in the years 1960-1973, but have their root in human nature and in the latter case, the societal dislocation of the Great Depression.
Roosevelt signs the Social Security Act of 1935 into LawSocial Security was created in 1935 as an intergenerational contract at a time when massive unemployment and migration left the elderly without traditional means of support in their later years. Money paid into the system today goes to previous generations who have already reached retirement age. However, the benefits that are paid out are based on the lifetime income of the beneficiaries, not on the number of people paying into the system. As a result, Social Security is already running a shortfall and, absent major reforms, will be unable to pay full benefits within a decade or two.
The political left seems unwilling to even confront this reality. It is impossible for conservative politicians like Paul Ryan to even bring up the subject of Social Security reform without being vilified as extremists who would sell their own grandmothers to make a quick buck. This fear-mongering will not address the problem. If we wish to have a safety net for the elderly, we have to fix the system. There are two ways to accomplish this: either we must reduce benefits that are paid out or increase the revenues that are paid in. In the latter case, the easiest way to do this is to increase the population.
As any married couple will tell you, raising a family is hard work. The competing demands of family, career, personal development, and civic involvement have not been made easier by the ubiquitous propagation of supposedly "labor saving" technological advancements. Worse still, even for those supermoms who can somehow manage to "have it all," the cost of raising a family has been steadily increasing. The Department of Agriculture estimated that the cost of raising each child born in 2012 to adulthood will be nearly a quarter of a million dollars as a national average, and that's not even including the cost of college.
Even if we leave aside the deleterious consequences of contraception and abortion for women, the economic incentives are vastly more powerful. In our careless society, children are seen as a burden and come after the needs of their self-centered parents—if indeed their would-be parents choose to have any children at all. The liberal dogma of individualism does not help the situation, but this can be overcome if people see that the benefits of raising children go beyond the abstract rewards of spiritual and emotional fulfillment, but also include tangible financial motivations. The tax code already provides considerable incentives for raising children, but as the birthrate falls each year, plainly it is not enough.
Twin Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott, HGTV's "Property Brothers"The success or failure of Social Security depends on raising up future generations to pay into the system. Let us imagine we have twin brothers, Ron and Remy. Ron remains a bachelor all his life but Remy marries and has three children. They both work for 35 years at the same company and have identical salaries. Under the current system, they will receive the same benefits upon retirement. Ron and Remy both paid the same amount into the Social Security system, but Remy will have also paid over three quarters of a million dollars to raise his three children. In effect, the children of Remy will be paying the Social Security benefits for both their father and their uncle, but this really means Remy will essentially be paying for his brother's retirement. Basic fairness dictates that the benefits paid should be in some way proportional to the number of children one has.
This is not without precedent. Faced with the deviant and decadent sexual proclivities of the ancient Romans in a time of crisis and domestic upheavals, Emperor Augustus codified the Lex Iulia de Maritandis Ordinibus (i.e., the Julian Law of Marriage). The measures he implemented were severe but effective and proved popular enough that they were later strengthened by the Lex Papia Poppaea. At the heart of these laws was the forfeiture of inheritances for those who remained childless. A similar measure today would restore the financial incentives of child-rearing and strengthen families in general.
Instead of wonkish proposals like increasing the retirement age or indexing benefits to chained CPI or means-testing (all of which are unpopular options that do not address the problem of shrinking revenues), we could gradually restrict benefits for each age cohort eventually down to 50% of what would otherwise due to those without children for people who are of childbearing age today. For couples with only one child, benefits would gradually be reduced to only 75%, and for those with two or more children, only then would benefits be paid in full. As an added compromise between Democrats and Republicans, the estate tax could also be phased out gradually with each child as a gentler version of the Augustan Leges Juliae. Naturally, such benefits would also apply for adopted children (which was not the case in ancient Rome).
Grandma's Birthday by "Brenner," 19th CenturyThese provisions would have the effect not only of reducing benefits paid to singletons and childless couples (who do not bear the financial burden of raising children), but also would lead to the eventual increase in revenues as people of childbearing age today respond to the incentive to bring enough lives into the world to support them in their dotage. This combined with the estate tax phase-out would also create an additional incentive for couples that have more than just the minimal 2.1 children on average required to keep the population at current levels. Indeed, with these incentives Social Security benefits could actually grow over time instead of shrinking.
Such reforms would strengthen families and the institution of marriage without poking the hornets' nest of women's sexual liberation. Instead of outlawing contraception or abortion, people will respond to the serious financial incentives of a renegotiated intergenerational contract by forming families and becoming more open to life of their own volition. With this openness to life as the starting point, society can begin to heal the many second- and third-order effects that have ravaged our society over the last 80 years and especially the last few decades. Anyone who doubts the efficacy of such a reform need only look at how banefully influential the welfare state has been in the first place.
At a more philosophical level, this proposal would also transform Social Security from a government entitlement into a natural expression of family ties. When Social Security was created, it was taken for granted that each generation would care for their elders, but this was not enough to defend the family from what followed. The baseline assumptions have changed but the laws have not. Social Security created the problems that we face as a society today, but with the right reforms, we can harness its transformative power for good. Save Social Security, and you will save marriage–and the world.
