Keeping a President's executive orders in context
A lot of things about a President's State of the Union address are numbingly predictable, and that's probably why a lot of Americans tune out, seeking entertainment. (Of course, for die-hard politicos, the theater of the State of the Union and the opposition party's response ARE entertainment.)
And it's preordained: Republicans will criticize the President for vowing executive orders over the heads of Congress. But keep something in context. See this article from NATIONAL JOURNAL:
One example of that political theater. The guests members of Congress will be bringing to the grand event.
POLITICO reports at least half a dozen Republican lawmakers are bringing guests adversely affected by the President's health-care overhaul...
In contrast, Congressman John Carney (D-DE) invited the manager of the Ministry of Caring's Emmanuel Dining Room, Janice Rice, to be his guest at the President's State of the Union address.
Meanwhile, The NEW REPUBLIC's John B. Judis has a piece on potential big doom & gloom for Democrats...

Not all Republican guests put the focus on the failure of 0bamaCare.
Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., is bringing along Charles Woods, father of Navy SEAL Ty Woods, one of four Americans killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack. Woods has been highly critical of the Obama administration and its handling of the incident.

Interesting article, Allan. So Reagan far outpaced Clinton, Bush Jr., & Obama in who used his pen to bypass Congress to get his way. Yet, the G.O.P. / TEA Party will be whining about how Obama is violating the Constitution & is a dictator, etc., by signing Executive Orders.
This is the kind of hypocrisy that keeps me from taking the G.O.P./TEA Party folks seriously. It's OK if their guy does it, but evil if the DEM guy does it??? What a double-standard!

"A lot of things about a President's State of the Union address are numbingly predictable, and that's probably why a lot of Americans tune out, seeking entertainment."
This shows the brain-dead media lemming mentality. The throne speech is on all the regular networks plus all the cable news networks, plus public television. What's the point? Why on every channel? Are they trying to force people to watch the damn thing? Yes, they probably are. And the newsies, of course, want to inflate their own self-importance. And of course by running it live, they allow all the lies to go uncorrected. Too bad one network doesn't have the guts to run regular programs (and score the entire audience) and then run a "fact checked" version later - with graphics showing Obama's nose growing or his pants on fire.
Loudell wants again continues his penchant for recycling in journalism. NPR, the closest thing in radio to an actual news organization, has been doing stories on Obama and executive orders for several days now. "Thou shalt not steal."

My point Mrpizza is you'd not complain if Prez Romney was doing it, the double standard is the turn off for me.
Tue, Jan 28, 2014 10:21pm
Don't bet on it. I judge a politician on his or her merits. Since President Romney didn't get elected, I can't evaluate him on that basis.
As far as Obama, I already know he doesn't have any merits.

What is it with MikeFromDelaware and these words in ALLCAPS? The other day Fresh Air (where they do real interviews) did an interview about a book on the cozy relationship between the Vatican and MUSSOLINI. IL DUCE insisted Eye-talian newspapers print his name and title in ALL CAPS, too (an offer they couldn't refuse). ALL CAPS must be an Eye-talian thing.
When you look at all the similarities, the ROMAN Catholic Church is just the spiritual branch of the MAFIA. Just another line of business to fleece the gullible.
According to "Pope and Mussolini," Pius XI was getting ready to break with Benito, and he died suddenly (and his letter to Eyetalian bishops disappeared, thanks to the guy in curia who became Pius XII). Just like John Paul I died under suspicious circumstances when he was uncovering a scandal in the Vatican Bank involving the Mafia.

OBAMA Lies (again).
FACT CHECK: Less than meets eye in Obama speech
WASHINGTON (AP) � President Barack Obama promised to clear red tape away from highway projects that actually are stalled because there's no money for them, not because rules are in the way. He's ordering a higher minimum wage for a sliver of the workforce, which affects no one now and not many later.
Going it alone � without Congress making a law � just doesn't go as far as Obama made it sound at times Tuesday night in his State of the Union speech.
And when he talked about his health care law � a source of Obama misstatements in the past � he hit another fact bump.
A look at some of the facts and political circumstances behind his claims, along with a glance at the Republican response:
OBAMA: "Because of this (health care) law, no American can ever again be dropped or denied coverage for a preexisting condition like asthma, back pain or cancer. No woman can ever be charged more just because she's a woman. And we did all this while adding years to Medicare's finances, keeping Medicare premiums flat, and lowering prescription costs for millions of seniors."
THE FACTS: Some Medicare premiums have gone up, not stayed flat.
As Obama said, insurers can no longer turn people down because of medical problems, and they can't charge higher premiums to women because of their sex. The law also lowered costs for seniors with high prescription drug bills. But Medicare's monthly premium for outpatient care has gone up in recent years.
Although the basic premium remained the same this year at $104.90, it increased by $5 a month in 2013, up from $99.90 in 2012. Obama's health care law also raised Medicare premiums for upper-income beneficiaries, and both the president and Republicans have proposed to expand that.
Finally, the degree to which the health care law improved Medicare finances is hotly debated. On paper, the program's giant trust fund for inpatient care gained more than a decade of solvency because of cuts to service providers required under the health law. But in practice those savings cannot simultaneously be used to expand coverage for the uninsured and shore up Medicare.
OBAMA: "Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled."
THE FACTS: The most recent evidence suggests that mobility hasn't worsened. A team of economists led by Harvard's Raj Chetty released a study last week that found the United States isn't any less socially mobile than it was in the 1970s. Looking at children born between 1971 and 1993, the economists found that the odds of a child born in the poorest 20 percent of families making it into the top 20 percent hasn't changed.
"We find that children entering the labor market today have the same chances of moving up in the income distribution (relative to their parents) as children born in the 1970s," the authors said.
Still, other research has found that the United States isn't as mobile a society as most Americans would like to believe. In a study of 22 countries, economist Miles Corak of the University of Ottawa found that the United States ranked 15th in social mobility. Only Italy and Britain among wealthy countries ranked lower. By some measures, children in the United States are as likely to inherit their parents' economic status as their height.
OBAMA: "We'll need Congress to protect more than 3 million jobs by finishing transportation and waterways bills this summer. But I will act on my own to slash bureaucracy and streamline the permitting process for key projects, so we can get more construction workers on the job as fast as possible."
THE FACTS: Cutting rules and regulations doesn't address what's holding up most transportation projects, which is lack of money. The federal Highway Trust Fund will run out of money in August without action. To finance infrastructure projects, Obama wants Congress to raise taxes on businesses that keep profits or jobs overseas, but that idea has been a political nonstarter.
The number of projects affected by the administration's efforts to cut red tape is relatively small, said Joshua Schank, president and CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, a think tank. "The reason most of these projects are delayed is they don't have enough money. So it's great that you are expediting the review process, but the review process isn't the problem. The problem is we don't have enough money to invest in our infrastructure in the first place."
OBAMA: "More than 9 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage."
THE FACTS: That's not to say 9 million more Americans have gained insurance under the law.
The administration says about 6 million people have been determined to be eligible for Medicaid since Oct. 1 and an additional 3 million roughly have signed up for private health insurance through the new markets created by the health care law. That's where Obama's number of 9 million comes from. But it's unclear how many in the Medicaid group were already eligible for the program or renewing existing coverage.
Likewise, it's not known how many of those who signed up for private coverage were previously insured. A large survey released last week suggests the numbers of uninsured gaining coverage may be smaller. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that the uninsured rate for U.S. adults dropped by 1.2 percentage points in January, to 16.1 percent. That would translate to roughly 2 million to 3 million newly insured people since the law's coverage expansion started Jan. 1.
OBAMA: "In the coming weeks, I will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour, because if you cook our troops' meals or wash their dishes, you shouldn't have to live in poverty."
THE FACTS: This would be a hefty boost in the federal minimum wage, now $7.25, but not many would see it.
Most employees of federal contractors already earn more than $10.10. About 10 percent of those workers, roughly 200,000, might be covered by the higher minimum wage. But there are several wrinkles. The increase would not take effect until 2015 at the earliest and it doesn't apply to existing federal contracts, only new ones. Renewed contracts also will be exempt from Obama's order unless other terms of the agreement change, such as the type of work or number of employees needed.
Obama also said he'll press Congress to raise the federal minimum wage overall. He tried that last year, seeking a $9 minimum, but Congress didn't act.
REP. CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS of Washington, in her prepared Republican response: "Last month, more Americans stopped looking for a job than found one. Too many people are falling further and further behind because, right now, the president's policies are making people's lives harder."
THE FACTS: She leaves out a significant factor in the high number of people who aren't looking for jobs: Baby boomers are retiring.
It's true that a large part of the still-high unemployment rate is due to jobless workers who have given up looking for a job. There are roughly three people seeking every job opening, a circumstance that can discourage others from trying. But one big reason people aren't seeking employment is that there are so many boomers � the generation born in the immediate aftermath of World War II � and therefore more than the usual number of retirements.
As of December, the economy had gained 3,246,000 jobs since Obama took office in January 2009. When he was inaugurated, the unemployment rate was 7.8 percent and on the rise. It peaked at 10 percent in October 2009 and has been inching down ever since, to 6.7 percent this past December.

Billsmith: What all caps are you talking about? I only USE all caps to EMPHASIZE my point. So big deal. What's your point?
Thanks for the extensive fact check thing on the Prez & the G.O.P. response.
Wed, Jan 29, 2014 9:27am
Looks like there's finally something bill and I agree on...this president lies, lies, and then lies some more.
Mike from Delaware
Wed, Jan 29, 2014 1:28pm
Sadly, both sides do it.
I'll give Jack Markell credit for stating today in an election year, that Delaware needs to raise the gas tax 10 cents. Of course Markell is in his second term, so he'd not be affected, but the folks in Dover are and probably won't be anxious to be on record voting to raise that tax in 2014.
Wed, Jan 29, 2014 2:39pm
Well, that's one of the biggest problems with this sick country. Everybody wants roads, more roads, better roads, safer roads, less crowded roads and with no Jersey barriers. Nobody wants to pay a higher gas tax or any other tax to finance roads. This country's real religion is the Church of the Free Lunch.
Mike from Delaware
Wed, Jan 29, 2014 3:20pm
Billsmith: To use that phrase you detest, but is correct, well said, excellent point. Same goes with funding mass transit. If DART could lure 1/3 of the traffic off the roads and onto buses and trains, the other 2/3's would have a far better experience on the roads with less traffic, not to mention less pollution going into the atmosphere, a win/win for everyone.
Talking about roads in Delaware, one thing I've noticed over the years is that Delaware has the habit of taking a two lane road that had a posted speed limit of 50 mph and making it into a four-lane divided highway with medians, left turning lanes, right turning lanes, sidewalks, wide shoulders, and then dropping the speed limit from 50 to 45. Why? That doesn't make sense to me. Examples of such roads: Linden Hill Road in Pike Creek, Rt. 273 from Hares Corner heading away from New Castle, Rt. 7 from Rt. 273 to US Rt. 40 at Bear [actually Rt. 7's speed dropped to 40 from 50 mph].
The other question is with the computerized traffic lights we have, why won't they coordinate them, say, in a cluster of 3 lights, so that when you stop for the first one as a Red, you being on the main highway will not have to stop again until at least the 4th light? Why do we get stopped at every light? It's like having a series of Stop signs.
None of that has anything to do with the gas tax, but still I'd would like to know the answers to those questions.
Wed, Jan 29, 2014 6:28pm
MFD: I only detest the phrase when you use it to disagree with something I don't agree with.
Yes, so much about road design makes no sense. Traffic lights, too. For all the examples you point out locally, PennDOT seems even nuttier. Whatever they call it in Jersey, they actually seem to do things that make sense (like those jug handles instead of left turns). It seems like the traffic engineers are just arrogant. Must be where the phrase "my way or the highway" started. They seem to think it's their road, and they do us a favor by letting us use them - on their terms, of course.
Ever notice how you have to keep changing lanes on I-95 in Delaware? Traffic is always merging. Not only when another highway comes in but just because they keep changing the number of lanes or because (for instance) they end the right lane and start a left lane.
Ever come home late and have to sit at a red light with nobody going through the green light? Then the light changes just as some cars approach?
No wonder nobody trusts the government to do anything.

Until Allan explained in the previous post what a Jersey barrier was, I actually thought it was the Delaware Memorial Bridge when the eastbound side is shut down for an accident.

Billsmith: I totally agree.
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 4:26am
Yes, I have to give Bill a lot of credit this time around. He had to have done some quite extensive research on the subject of Obama and the logical conclusion of the free lunch religion.
An A+ to Bill Smith!
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 6:55am
Thanks, Pizza. But it's not just Obama. I watched the HBO movie "Too Big To Fail" the other day (available on DVD on online). Big bankers are just as much apostles of the free lunch as anybody else - only their lunches are a lot more expensive.
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 9:09am
I don't know if it's due to the Earth's magnetic pole reversal.. but I again agree with you Bill. The big bankers are just as guilty as Big Government, yet none of them face consequences for their deeds.
Will we soon be told that 0bamaCare is "too big to fail" and needs a bailout by the taxpayers of this country?
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 9:21am
BTW, for those who watched the SOTU speech...what in the world is MyIRA? (something even the president seems unable to pronounce or adequately explain). MYRA? My-IRA?...LOL!
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 9:26am
Earl: "Obamacare" itself can't go under. But the insurance companies could claim they are going under because of it. Young and healthy aren't signing up, just paying the token uninsured penalty. Old and unhealthy, who were denied coverage before, are signing up but without young and healthy to offset their claims. So, now Blue Cross, Aetna, and the rest want to be bailed out (so the suits can keep their bonuses and golden parachutes).
Speaking of the Earth's magnetic field, did you see the stories about how dogs line up with the magnetic field when they poop? Really!
Mike from Delaware
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 10:08am
Billsmith and EarlGrey: Great, just we need more, corporate welfare in bailing out the insurance companies.
I believe instead of us bailing out the insurance companies, which both DEMS and the G.O.P./TEA folks I'd hope would be totally against doing; that might be the time to finally admit a national Single Payer System is the answer which would simply put those suits in the insurance industry out of business, and on unemployment, as they look for new jobs.
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 11:49am
bill: I actually did read the stories about dogs and the Earth's magnetic field...interesting but odd at the same time.
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 11:56am
MFD: Agreed. The simplest solution would have been to extend Medicare for everybody (under 65). Basic Medicare takes care of basic needs. Then have Medicare Supplement plans from private insurance companies to add additional benefits for those who want them (and are willing to pay extra for them). Coverage for everyone and opportunities for insurance companies to make money. Everybody's happy.
For some reason, countries with national health care like Britain and Canada don't seem to like the idea of supplementary coverage but it's been working for Medicare here for half a century.
Many of the people fighting to end "Obamacare" are on Medicare and would fight even harder if somebody tried to do away with that. Seems like Medicare for people under 65 would have diffused most of that opposition. How can you oppose your kids getting something you already have and benefit from?
Mike from Delaware
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 1:19pm
Billsmith: Sounds like an easy and very workable solution. Basic Medicare for all, and have the insurance companies do the Medicare Supplemental plans. Yep, a win/win.
Thu, Jan 30, 2014 1:56pm
MFD: Thanks. I guess some politicians don't want things easy. People's FICA amounts would go up to cover basic Medicare. Medicaid would cover that for people with low incomes. Employers could offer Medicare Supplements as a benefit, the way they offer health insurance now.
Since Medicare is between the government and the individual, employers who object to birth control coverage would not be an issue. (It would make sense to include birth control in basic Medicare because the pill is a lot cheaper than a pregnancy.)
It would be universal, meaning mandatory, and some people would squawk on general principles. But people complained about Medicare, too, 50 years ago.
And we have another anniversary: 50th anniversary of the Beatles arrival in New York. And of Larry Kane first coming to public attention making the US tour with them.

The great national tune-out! Even though the White House and the compliant news networks want to force everybody to watch by removing other options, lots of people ignored Obama's throne speech. On 16 networks, he got about one-third the eyeballs expected for the Super Bowl on only one network.
Americans change the channel as State Of The Union gets worst ratings since 2000 with 33.3 million viewers
* Nielsen reports 33.3 million people watched President Obama's speech
* It is Obama's lowest-rated State of the Union Address
* 8.8 million saw something about it on Twitter

Billsmith: the last bit if info from that article states:
"Last year, President Obama hit his personal rock bottom in ratings for a State of the Union address.
About 33.5 million people tuned in for the speech, the lowest number since 2000, when about 31.5 million watched President Bill Clinton�s State of the Union swan song.
But Mr. Obama�s numbers were actually worse than that.
IN terms of household ratings - the percentage of U.S. television households that tuned into the speech at any given moment � last year�s State Of The Union garnered a score of 21.8.
That was the lowest in the last 20 years of data, even worse than 2000�s 22.4.
Household ratings offer a better comparison of viewership than raw viewer numbers because they take into account changes in the number of TV households."
So no matter how they measure it, folks were tuning out.

Lamar Odom just fired back at the paparazzo who sued him for assault ... claiming the whole allegation is B.S.
Lamar claims the photog -- Stefan Saad "provoked [Lamar's] unlawful and wrongful conduct."
TMZ obtained the answer Lamar just filed -- courtesy of his lawyer, Shawn Holley -- and he says it would be unjust for Saad to get a penny from him.
The incident that triggered the lawsuit occurred on July 10, when Lamar confronted Saad who was questioning him about having an alleged affair. Lamar took the photog's equipment from his car and threw it into his own car. Lamar drove a few blocks and then tossed the equipment into the street.
Nothing lower than a paparazzo. Oh wait, yes there is. A middle-eastern paparazzo.
Laws should be established for dealing with stalkers with cameras.
Stalkers with cameras then could be reined in & held accountable.
Did Lam Lam not get his copy of the script? He is supposed to be off on a crack binge. Doesn't he know not to be seen until they shoot the dramatic reconcilliation?
Lamar could have handled the situation in a sane manner by walking away in silence BUT he acted like a bratty little kid by going into the pap's car and damaging his property. The best revenge is silence BUT he lives by the street code not by the intelligent code. Drugs will cause you to act crazy! ALLEGEDLY!
The calmest upset man you'll ever see!
OLD STORY- ho hum! Has he filed for divorce yet?
Lamar, your days are over. The NBA has shied away from you and your drug use and BS attitude is getting you nowhere. Might as well suck up to your wife for the rest of your life, because you won't even be able to get a job coaching Junior High Basketball.
Here is an amazing fact….if the paps ignored them, they would beg for FACE TIME!!!!
That is some straight-up crackhead ****.
If a "regular" citizen had taken the camera we would be in jail...Do I think the paparazzo was hurt: Doubt it...but Lamar should not have done what he did...and must be held accountable for his actions...
Hey Lamar, here is some complicated and mind blowing legal advice: SHUT UP WHEN YOU ARE IN LITIGATION!! I bet when your high $$$ lawyer's next retainer melts her pocket, she will tell you the same thing.
Lamar is a big waste. Damaged. Ugly.
I hope he get's help,and Khole leave's him!
Lamar needs to get his withdrawals under control.
somehow i respect lamar more than kanye these days

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Wow. Where do I begin? This school is a hot mess. I reluctantly put my child in school here because we are assigned to it. I regret that decision. Grade inflation is off the charts. My child was bringing home A's and B's even though it was not deserved. The TCAP scores told the truth and showed a huge discrepancy. The only bright light is a totally new facility that is being built and a new principal, Dr. Moody. They still have a long way to good and I'm not subjecting my child to any more of the transition stage hoping that it will get better. Time is ticking and critical learning skills are not being taught.
Joelton Middle School is the worst school in which I have ever taught. The teachers are overwhelmed and absolutely not supported by the administration or the district. Like most schools, Joelton is understaffed. The students have been dumped there by parents who are rarely involved and too many are disrespectful and woefully lagging behind developmentally and educationally and really don't care. The teachers should be applauded for trying to make a difference. Don't expect things to get better at this school or many others as long as parents aren't held accountable and administrators are only out to protect their own jobs with the district. If you have an alternative to Joelton Middle School, use it.
Iagree. My son was a honor student and loved learning. Now that he has been to Joelton, he never has homework, his grades has gone down, and he was also suspended twice. Joelton has had a problem for years. I dreaded my son attending and he will not be returning next year. I feel that the teachers don't take the time with the students. I don't think that the principal is fair. And I know that there is a lot of rasicm there. I would not recommend any child to go here .
This school is awful. My son went from an A, B student to a mostly all F's. My child had never been suspended in all his school year, he was suspended twice thisyear. Also he was put in ISS, I dont knohow many times. I was a parent that wanted to work with the teachers as much as I possibly could. They decided to work with me at the end of school year. Which was too late considering I will not let my child go to the next grade without making better grades. The Teachers are there for a pay check. They want all the students to be on some type of medicine so they can sit there and do thier homework instead of teaching the kids.
They are only there for paychecks,not the children.Some students treated better than others for doing the same wrongful things.they try to put students out of school for the simpliest things.If you don't want to teach change jobs.Take notes for rutherford county on how to run a school.
I attended Joelton Middle School all four of my middle school years. And never once did I encounter any problems at all. The teachers are wonderful and use creative teaching methods. In my 8th grade year, I recieved all three of my high school credits, out of the three possible and those four years were the most fulfilling I've ever experienced. Even though there is a few moldy spots throughout the school, it is an amazing learning environment. sincerely, Cody Woodside
i got all a`s because my teachers tought me well
Joelton Middle has been a great asset to my son. He transferred from Rose Park which was an awful experience. His grades have improved from all F's at Rose Park to A's & 1 D. He is a much happier child, not coming home overwhelmed with homework and incomplete classwork. Joelton teachers give him his work in class and make sure the kids understand it. He still has homework but not so much that he has to stay up until 10p.m. He was in tutoring every evening when he attended Rose Park but now he doesn't need tutoring the teachers do enough tutoring in class for him, which I think is great. Education is very important for every child and family time is also important. If you are considering a good school this is definitely the one. I am so proud of my son.
this is a great school even though they might have mold on the ceiling it is a great school with fine education and lots of academic thing the teachers are great it is save and there are no harmfuf chemicals or anything and so to you all who think it is a bad school you are wrong because I am a proud student of JMS and it is a honor of going to such a fine school
I find Joelton Middle School to be one of the top schools in Davidson County. The teachers there are concerned and want students to learn. The administration and faculty are trying very hard to get us parents involved in our child's education, by having monthly parent meetings.
Joelton Middle School is a joke. It is not a learning center. The general attitude of Joelton's administration is so non chalant, that they don't care they are just there to get a pay check and our children are left to fend for theirselves. If I could I would definitely take my child as far away from JMS as I could get him. Their idea of teaching, is ridiculus and children are rewarded for their bad behavior.
This school is awful! Molded ceilings, and floors. Plants and grass growing out of the floors. Bugs, and other insects, and the fear of inhauling dangerous things.

I am a female in real life, and almost everyone refers to me as "he" until they know me better or hear me in vent. I don't bother to correct people unless they are a new guild mate or someone I am stuck spending a lot of time around. Is a gender pronoun that important in a pug? The people that matter know.

Iran inches forward: As Obama keeps talking
On Thursday it was reported that Iran has been trying to buy massive numbers of magnets used in enriching uranium for use in nuclear weapons. Doing so is a violation of United Nations sanctions. Iran sought the magnets anyway.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose nation Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly advocated destroying, said last year that Iran probably would have the capability to make a nuclear weapon by this spring or summer. The question was whether the economic sanctions would collapse the regime before then. That does not seem likely. So, now what?
President Obama has said that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable. He has kept saying that as Iran's murderous dictator has inched ever closer to getting his blood-stained hands on a nuclear weapon. As Obama talks, Ahmadinejad acts. No one wants a new war. But the question must be asked: How much longer can this go on?

Internet being the information highway that it is, how could we make the content we find on it legitimate and genuine facts.
In the free world of information sharing, can the Internet be a reliable source of information ever? How will the Internet be a true version of the truth? Could there be a code of conduct on the Internet to sift junk and make the Internet a highway of reliable, trustworthy information?
Topics: Internet

Oct 15 2013: Internet is not fundamentally different from any other source of information: you get genuine facts and some not so genuine, and you are more likely to access trustworthy information if you select it and pay for it, because great info quality often involves an expert or a professional systematically checking contents and analysing them in depth.
As long as everyone can write what they want on the internet you'll always get different levels of quality. As other contributors said below, users just have to learn to recognize which are the reliable, 'peer reviewed' sources. On many websites the thumbs-up/thumbs-down systems allows the community to collectively 'sift some kind of junk' (does not solve the issue of manipulation though).

I don't understand the name. The design is sort of Blu Dot-esque. I think it as a little side table.
Finally, designers with some damn sense. $175 for a table - YES.
Not very exciting or innovative design, but could work in any enviornment. Kind of strange name at first, but then when I read it again..ok, I get it now.
Sometimes I "panic" when I have nowhere to place my drink or keep my book and reading glasses in a safe place. Now that is solved. Very savvy design. Love the little dog too
haven't i seen this table heaps of times elsewhere? it's very pretty, but not sure how original it is.
Go Portland!

Partially Torn ACL In Knee

My husband twisted his knee during martial arts practice. He partially tore his ACL. We treated it aggressively with these oils internally 10 drops each twice a day: Helichrysum and Balsam Fir. We applied lemongrass, cypress, Regenolone cream, peppermint and PanAway topically 2 to 3 times a day. He took 10 Sulferzyme twice a day and doubled up on BLM twice a day. He took 4 to 5 ounces of Ningxia Red a day too. His doctor couldn't believe how fast he healed, he was walking on it within a few days and it was pain free within two weeks. He was off from the gym for about 2 months and when he went back he didn't loose any condition and he was still the last man standing because of his stamina. (Thanks Ningxia Red!)

Gin craze
"Slums collapsed in an orgy of lethal drinking, foundling hospitals were established simply to deal with the plight of babies and children orphaned or abandoned by their intoxicated, syphilitic parents, and when the government tried to impose a tax on spirits, there were riots."
This is how Kate Colquhoun describes London's 18th century gin craze in her book Taste. The Story of Britain through its Cooking (2007, Bloomsbury). The craze refers to a time period (1720-1751 or even 1690-1751) when especially the London poor drank more gin than ever before and were constantly drunk. It has been called "the first modern drug scare".
There were two main reasons why the both the production and consumption of gin increased at the beginning of the 18th century. First of all, in 1694 beer became heavily taxed making gin cheaper to drink. Secondly, in 1720 the Mutiny Act encouraged local gin production by exempting citizens that distilled spirits from billeting soldiers in their home. However, distillers used low-quality grain to produce spirits that were then cut with substances like oil of turpentine. Finally, in order to mask the drink's vile taste, ingredients such as sugar, lime or rose water were added.
As a consequence, not only were most poor people intoxicated all the time, but gin was considered to be the cause for all sorts of sinfulness and evilness. Many crimes seemed to have begun in a gin shop and politicians blamed "gin for everything from poverty itself to the undermining of the workforce to promiscuity and the spread of syphilis."
However, according to L. J. Solmonson:
"it is worth noting that many present-day historians have begun to dispute the actual 'craze' itself. True, the poor were indeed alcoholics of epic proportions, but the English had always been keen on drink. Despite its novelty, gin, in and of itself, was not to blame. Rather the physical and psychological effects of poverty led to excessive consumption. Gin was readily available and very cheap; the poor merely found solace where they could."
The end of the craze came in 1751 with the final Gin Act that raised the excises on spirits by more than 50 % and forbade distillers and street vendors to sell the product.

Found January 13, 2013 on The Daily Stache:
PLAYERS: RA Dickey, David Wright, Mike Piazza
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets
Hello my Mets faithful! Right about now it's the middle of winter and we're knee deep in NFL playoff football, NBA basketball, and the NHL FINALLY returns next weekend! Of course, many of us are also counting down the days until spring training begins. That wonderful time of year when we all have renewed faith in our teams, eager to see what new talent is up and coming, and what possible new tricks the veterans can pull out of their hats. One particular veteran most of us are ecstatic to see back (and for quite a long time too) is our own David Wright. Signed this off-season to long-term contract that should keep him a Met for life, our homegrown hero is here to stay. As for our second hero, the wonderful feel-good story of a man who fought to bring the Mets (and we fans) a National League Cy Young award against all odds this past season… Yeah…about that… I know, I know…weeks have gone by now since Dickey was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays, with his personal catcher and a spare accompanying him. But I can't help still feeling sad over the whole thing and the way it was handled. Before all of you who were on the "trade Dickey" side jump all over me, let me explain. We all know how hard it is to be a Mets fan. That's one thing we all have in common. We have so few moments to REALLY pull together and cheer for, something that really uplifts us and makes us proud of our team again. This past year, we finally got that, in the form of one R.A. Dickey. A man who pretty much pulled himself up from the depths of past demons both on and off the field, to stand tall and strong and humble…and against all odds won a Cy Young…with a knuckleball. There's no crying in baseball, right? Wrong. I can remember tears streaming down my face watching him as he finally got his 20th win, and stood there and thanked US. We, the fans…someone thanked US! He said we gave him the support and the fire he needed to get through it…and we loved him for it. Flash forward to today…Dickey is no longer a member of the Mets. He was unceremoniously pushed out of town after bringing something to this franchise that hasn't been seen since the days of Mike Piazza…a true hero. Yes, David Wright is the beloved face of the Mets, but R.A. Dickey was a hero (to me, anyway). He survived a horrible childhood, reinvented himself when he was told he'd never amount to much in the baseball world, he wrote a book, climbed a mountain…and thanked everyone else. He is humble, gracious…someone you really want to root for. And he's gone…just like that. Yes, I realize baseball is a business, and I've had countless discussions with my BFF about it as he tried to convince me over and over how Sandy has to do things like this in order to make the team better. I understood what he was telling me, but I still didn't want to face the fact that our hero had been traded away in the blink of an eye (and with so little respect after what he had done). I suppose many of you will say "well, you're a chick, you get emotionally attached to players". No, I get emotionally attached to players who make your heart swell and bring tears to your eyes with their accomplishments and their character. So yes, while it is necessary to make moves like these in order to improve a team's future, it's OK to be sad at the same time. I will still cheer on our Mets as they move forward, but I will also never forget the knuckleballer who loved Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, quietly went about his business, gave us hope, gave us chills, gave us a Cy Young, and most of all…gave us his thanks for riding it all with him.

Hello Zebras, and thanks for all of your great questions! Answers to the first set are at the bottom of the page.
(1) Since we're studying volcanoes, we wonder: Have you and your team thought about what you might do if Mt. Erebus erupted? Looks like you're pretty close to it.
Mt. Erebus is very close to McMurdo Station and it is a large, active volcano; it is constantly smoking, which is really amazing to see. Fortunately the constant low-level circulation of magma through the lava lake keeps the pressure from building up inside the volcano, and the vulcanologists tell me this has kept the volcano from erupting violently for a very long time and it is very safe to be near (safe as houses). That said, Ross Island, which is the island McMurdo Station is on, was pretty much built by lava flows from Erebus and other, older volcanos that aren't active any more, so it is something that crosses our minds every once in a while! There are many geophysicists here studying Mt. Erebus, so we are sure we'd have lots of warning if something were to change.
(2) Also, we wonder if you've seen evidence of the most popular kind of volcano- underwater volcanoes, when you're on your dives?
Not really. Some of our dive sites are in the Dellbridge Islands near McMurdo Sound, which are part of an ancient underwater caldera. However there is no geothermal activity underwater that we have seen.
(3) How do you get hot water? Do you use a water heater with a tank or the on-demand systems we read about when we were reading about helping the environment?
All the power at McMurdo, including the energy for heating water, is produced by large generators or by solar power. For the people who live here it feels just like being at home; turn the tap and out comes hot water. The water itself is seawater that has been desalinated on site. Sometimes the water runs low and we have to be very careful to conserve.
(4) We have lots of questions about the sea spiders: are they poisonous? do they bite? how do they eat? what do they eat? how do they breathe?
Those are great questions. The sea spiders are not poisonous as far as we know, but some of them are bright orange which might be warning coloration to tell predators that they taste bad. We haven't tried to eat them ourselves, so we don't know for sure. They don't bite people (no teeth), but they do eat other animals; they feed by sticking their proboscis into a see anemone or other animal and sucking out the internal fluids. It's pretty gross. They don't usually kill the animal they are feeding on, so they are sort of the vampires of the underwater world down here. So far they have shown no interest in eating people.
We have no idea how they breathe; they have no gills or lungs, so they must get oxygen across their skin (which is hard like a crab's). This is one of the questions we are studying - how does an animal like that get enough oxygen inside its body to survive?
(5) Do you have lots of free time? If so, what do you do? Do you ever hang out with the other scientists we saw in the video? Do you ever sled with them or have snowball fights?
We work pretty hard but we do take time off to relax. I'm not sure what video you saw but we hang out with many of the other scientists here, often at the Coffee House or at meals in the Galley, and there are get-togethers almost every weekend. There is also a bowling alley, a library, two gyms, a Crafts Shack, movies, and lots of other things going on. Our work is really fun, though, so we don't mind spending most of our time in the lab or field.
We haven't gone sledding yet this year but we've had quite a few snowball fights...
(6) We thought we saw you wearing interesting shoes in the photos. Do you have to wear something on your feet to walk across all of that ice?
In the field, we all wear our "bunny boots" (government issue extreme-cold-weather white boots) that are very heavy and clumsy, but great at keeping your feet warm. The sea ice can be very slippery and it is a good idea to wear boot spikes if it is really windy, but otherwise, around town we just wear regular shoes. It's warming up quite a bit now that it is mid-November so I have even seen the occasional person wearing sandals around town, with socks of course.
(7) Aside from penguins, are there any land animals around?
At McMurdo we get only four bird species - Adelie penguins, Emperor penguins, Antarctic skuas, and snow petrels - and three seal species, Weddell seals, which are common, and rarely crabeater seals or leopard seals. Other than that, there aren't any large land animals. There are some microscopic animals like rotifers and nematodes in the soils but you can't see them unless you look very closely.
(8) Is there any plant life at all of Antarctica?
There are grasses and some other plants on the Antarctic peninsula, but where we are at McMurdo there are only a few very slow-growing, very small lichens. I have only seen one once. There are also very slow-growing microscopic algae growing in the ice and sometimes in the rocks, but that's it. Looking around, all you see is rocks, snow, and ice.
(9) We wondered if you garden at all.
There is a greenhouse here that grows some vegetables and sometimes those show up in the galley for dinner, but other than that, no garden plants could survive here!
(10) Do you have to keep the aquarium room freezing cold so the animals are comfortable?
The aquarium room is pretty cold, but the water flows pretty rapidly so it keeps the animals very cold in the tanks.
(11) Have you seen any ice caverns? We read that there are some on the continent.
Not around here. I was just talking to a vulcanologist at breakfast and he told me that there are some amazing ice caverns on Erebus that are melted out by steam vents on the sides of the volcano. I will try to see if I can get a picture to post.
1. We know you're studying the nudibranchs. Is that picture of the yellow one on the web site actual size, or a microscope picture? And are they all yellow? And, do they live anywhere else in the world??
The nudibranchs are a large group of marine animals that are found in oceans all over the world (in fact we have done a lot of work on nudibranchs in Puget Sound, WA), and they are basically snails that have lost their shells in evolutionary time. To make up for the loss of a protective shell, many have developed poisons or bad-tasting compounds so that predators won't eat them. These are often brightly colored - yellow, like the one in our picture, or red, orange, white - many of them are spectacularly beautiful - to advertise to predators that they taste bad. Many other species, instead of being poisonous, are very well camouflaged to hide from predators. The one shown on our web page was about 2 centimeters long. Some species are almost microscopic, and others can be a foot long or more. You can see many more pictures of Antarctic nudibranchs and other animals from our trip to McMurdo last year, and we'll have more coming later this season. You can also look at pictures of last year's SCUBA diving.
2. We read that you were trained on what to do with your waste, and we'd like to know- what DO you do with it?
Nothing that we use down here can stay on the Antarctic continent, because of an international agreement to keep Antarctica as untouched and clean as possible, so EVERYTHING is waste. You can't just throw something in a trash basket; instead, each person has to sort everything into one of 10 categories for recycling, incinerating, or composting. All paper, metal, and most plastics are shipped back to the US for recycling. Nonrecyclables are shipped back to the US for incineration, composting, or other disposal. The *other* kinds of waste are treated at a treatment plant on station (yes, we have normal toilets); in the field it's another story, because we can leave *nothing* behind. It all has to be stored in buckets and drums, brought back to McMurdo, and transported back to the US for treatment. Quite an amazing process.
3. Do you use the scientific method? If so, could you post pictures of your science notebooks so we can compare them with ours?
We use the scientific method all the time. Here's a picture of my lab notebook; I hope you all keep a neater lab book than I do! I have one separate notebook for each project I am working on. I have learned that the most important thing is to write EVERYTHING down, because even you are sure you will remember something later, you will probably forget it.
4. When you're scuba diving, how do you find the hole to come back up through? And, how long can you stay under water?
We can stay underwater for about an hour, maximum - usually we start to get pretty cold after about 45 minutes, so most dives are around 30-45 minutes long. The hole is very easy to see from underwater since the water is so clear, and the hole is very bright and the ice around it is dark. We also put in a "down line" at the hole that reaches from the surface to the bottom and the down line has strobe lights, a large black-and-white flag, and an emergency air bottle; we *never* want to lose sight of the hole, since it is our only way out!
5. Are you afraid of any large sea animals when you're diving, and have you been trained for what to do if you see something scary while underwater?
The only large animals here right now are the Weddell seals. We see them quite often and they really like the dive holes because they can use them to breathe. Weddell seals are big, but they are extremely calm and friendly so nobody worries about them hurting us - we are more worried about disturbing them! There are other species of seals that might be aggressive towards divers, but they do not come in this close to McMurdo this time of year.
6. What does your science lab look like?
Our lab here is very modern. We have one dry lab where we do experiments with oxygen consumption and also a lot of microscope work; we also have space in the Crary Lab aquarium room where we keep our animals and do some experiments too.
7. What other animals are you studying? Do you have pictures of them to post?
We are also studying sea spiders (a.k.a. pycnogonids), bizarre animals that can reach gigantic sizes here in the Antarctic. We will post some pictures from these in the field (the one shown in the picture is in the lab, with a large white nudibranch on the upper left).
8. Does everybody like their job down there? :)
I can only speak for the scientists - but we all love it!! It is a fantastic place to work and the science is all new and exciting.

Not only does this bunting liven up any room, but it is also an excellent stash-buster. Use up fabric scraps from previous projects, or buy a handful of coordinating fat quarters for a unified look. Because it's reversible, it can hang in a doorway and be seen from both sides. Or, you can design one side to be alive with pattern, and the other side to be more subdued, then hang it in whichever direction suits the mood of your current celebration!
Print out paper letters to spell a message, and affix them temporarily with masking tape: your banner can go from "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to "CONGRATS GRAD" to "WELCOME HOME" with very little effort!
Through this ebook you will learn:
How to choose appropriate fabrics
How to make a template
How to cut, assemble, and sew a banner of any length
Thank you for your interest in my designs!
Nearly all of these patterns are actually full-blown tutorials with many step-by-step photos. If you don't need that level of hand-holding, you can get some of the patterns by themselves.

Low-Cost Workout: Skipping
by Neha Borkar , IndiaTimes | June 11, 2013, 6:00 am IST
If you're missing out on your daily run due to the rains, how about going for an easy alternative to a good 30-minute run? Skipping is a low-cost exercise, which won't allow you to skip your workout. All you need is a skipping rope (skipping ropes are easily available in the market from Rs.35 to Rs.50) and you can start jumping anywhere indoors. Here is all you need to know about the cheap workout...

Hyundai's fleet of cars and SUVs will all have a combined fuel economy rating of 50 miles per gallon minimum by 2025. At least that's the goal Hyundai is trying to attain by that time. They are already close, as Hyundai has had one of the best fleet fuel economies of any automaker in the United States.
"We don't know specifically how to get there, but we do have a roadmap," said Hyundai Motor America top executive John Krafcik at the 2010 CAR Management Briefing Seminars, according to published reports.
The Hyundai Sonata has a combined economy rating of 26 miles per gallon and it can even get 40 mpg on the highway if driven carefully. The car is only offered with a four-cylinder motor and it's selling like hotcakes.
"If we had the capacity in our Alabama plant, we think we could be doing 20,000 Sonatas a month," Krafcik said.
The step by Hyundai is much larger than the government's mandatory 35.5 mpg rating by 2016. It should interesting, if we are all still around at that time, to see how they do it.

Press Releases
IDEA Center discussed during radio interview with Casey Luskin on KPRZ - March 21, 2002
On March, 19, 2002, IDEA Center co-director Casey Luskin was on The Grapevine with Michael Law on KPRZ AM 1210. Casey first got in touch with Michael Law in February, 2002, as Michael Law had a phone interview with IDEA Center Advisory Board member Jay Wesley Richards. Casey called in to the show notify listeners about Richards' upcoming IDEA Club-sponsored talk at UCSD on May 6th, 2002. Through this call, Michael Law became interested in learning more about the IDEA Club at UCSD and the IDEA Center, leading to this March 19th radio interview.
The March 19th radio discussion between Casey and Michael Law began at 5:30 pm and lasted about 45 minutes. A variety of topics were discussed including the IDEA Club at UCSD, the IDEA Center, the recent intelligent design controversy in Ohio, the Santorum Ammendment, and the general educational and political climate in academia. They also discussed the Christian presence and influence at UCSD.
Law, who is pastor at Community Christian Church in San Marcos and also teaches Junior High history and social studies, was very interested in hearing about the experience that religious or conservative students have attending a public university.
Michael Law also graciously allowed us to promote the upcoming IDEA Center intelligent design class and talk about IDEA Club student chapters. The IDEA Center would like to thank Michael Law for allowing us to publicize our group, and also for taking the time to give the issues surrounding intelligent design theory airtime on his show.

An Unfussy, Romantic Kitchen in Upstate New York
Kitchen Spotlight
This black kitchen was "controversial," according to designers Tara Mangini and Percy Bright of design firm Jersey Ice Cream Co. As they recently told Design*Sponge, the two were contracted to design and renovate an 1860 home in upstate New York, and for the kitchen they wanted to create a look that was "bold and classic." Thankfully, the home owner went for it — so at least that wasn't the source of the controversy! The result? "It's unfussy and romantic and feels very true to the house."
The black paint is "Black Horizon" by Benjamin Moore, while the walls above are plastered. The vintage basin sink was salvaged from an old flower shot, while the butcher block countertops are (you guessed it!) from IKEA.
I love it. What do you think?

*gasp* LOVE IT
I wish I could see more pics. Perhaps there is a wall of windows or a bunch of natural light that would change my opinion.
But it's depressing to think of spending time in a room that is as austere. "Unfussy" is one way to describe it, but I think they went too far.
Thanks so much for pointing it out! I'll fix it.
OMG!!! Please post about that bathroom with the restoration wood vanity immediately! Totally worth following the link to the Sneak Peek, thanks!
I love that kitchen but I thought the rest of the house wasn't as interesting.
I'm with at12345--looks institutional and grim. Is there any storage at all?
Looks like an orphanage or a nunnery. Not my style so much.
Well, if I moved in I'd immediately paint the top of the door black. That line across it bugs me. It feels too contrived. I'd also introduce colors, and possibly spoil the aesthetic which flows beautifully with the pretty much color-free house. Even though it makes for nice pictures, I could not live in a space that is all grey, beige and black.

We made this exactly according to the recipe and found the amount of cayenne called for to be WAY WAY too much. The recipe also came out watery. I love spinach saag, so if making again I would reduce the cayenne, add a little salt and frankly check out other authentic indian books for how to make this better.

I love Indian food and was excited to see this recipe for saag. After I made it (with the Greek yogurt I had on hand), I have a few comments to make. Overall, not bad, but the texture was quite off. Next time I make this, I will puree the spinach mixture after wilting it but before adding the yogurt.
