Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
California (LaCrosse) Virus:
California (LaCrosse) virus is a member of bunyaviridae and it is 1 of the arthropod-borne encephalitides. It is transmitted by various Aedes and Culex mosquitoes and is found in such intermediate hosts as the rabbit, squirrel, chipmunk, and field mouse. California meningoencephalitis is usually mild and occurs in late summer. Ninety percent of infections are seen in children younger than 15 years of age, usually from rural areas. The incubation period is estimated to be 7 days and acute illness lasts 10 days or less in most instances. Typically, the first symptoms are nonspecific, last 1 to 3 days, and are followed by the appearance of central nervous system (CNS) signs and symptoms such as stiff neck, lethargy, and seizures, which usually abate within 1 week. Symptomatic infection is almost never recognized in those over 18 years old. The most important sequelae of California virus encephalitis is epilepsy, which occurs in about 10% of children; almost always in patients who have had seizures during the acute illness. A few patients (estimated 2%) have persistent paresis. Learning disabilities or other objective cognitive deficits have been reported in a small proportion (2%) of patients. Learning performance and behavior of most recovered patients are not distinguishable from comparison groups in these same areas.
Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE):
EEE is within the alphavirus group. It is a low-prevalence cause of human disease in the eastern and Gulf Coast states. EEE is maintained by a cycle of mosquito/wild bird transmission, peaking in the summer and early fall, when man may become an adventitious host. The most common clinically apparent manifestation is a mild undifferentiated febrile illness, usually with headache. CNS involvement is demonstrated in only a minority of infected individuals, and is more abrupt and more severe than with other arboviruses, with children being more susceptible to severe disease. Fatality rates are approximately 70%.
St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE):
Areas or outbreaks of SLE since 1933 have involved the western United States, Texas, the Ohio-Mississippi Valley, and Florida. The vector of transmission is the mosquito. Peak incidence occurs in summer and early autumn. Disease onset is characterized by generalized malaise, fever, chills, headache, drowsiness, nausea, and sore throat or cough followed in 1 to 4 days by meningeal and neurologic signs. The severity of illness increases with advancing age; persons over 60 years have the highest frequency of encephalitis. Symptoms of irritability, sleeplessness, depression, memory loss, and headaches can last up to 3 years.
Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE):
The virus that causes WEE is widely distributed throughout the United States and Canada; disease occurs almost exclusively in the western states and Canadian provinces. The relative absence of the disease in the eastern United States probably reflects a paucity of the vector mosquito species, Culex tarsalis, and possibly a lower pathogenicity of local virus strains. The disease usually begins suddenly with malaise, fever, and headache, often with nausea and vomiting. Vertigo, photophobia, sore throat, respiratory symptoms, abdominal pain, and myalgia are also common. Over a few days, the headache intensifies; drowsiness and restlessness may merge into a coma in severe cases. In infants and children, the onset may be more abrupt than for adults. WEE should be suspected in any case of febrile CNS disease from an endemic area. Infants are highly susceptible to CNS disease and about 20% of cases are under 1 year of age. There is an excess of males with WEE clinical encephalitis, averaging about twice the number of infections detected in females. After recovery from the acute disease, patients may require from several months to 2 years to overcome the fatigue, headache, and irritability. Infants and children are at a higher risk of permanent brain damage after recovery than adults.
Infections with arboviruses can occur at any age. The age distribution depends on the degree of exposure to the particular transmitting arthropod relating to age, sex, and occupational, vocational, and recreational habits of the individuals. Once humans have been infected, the severity of the host response may be influenced by age. WEE tends to produce the most severe clinical infections in young persons and SLE in older persons. Serous California (LaCrosse) virus infections primarily involve children, especially boys. Adult males exposed to California viruses have high-prevalence rates of antibody but usually show no serious illness. Infections among males is primarily due to working conditions and sports activities taking place where the vector is present.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Aiding the diagnosis of arboviral (California [LaCrosse], St. Louis, Eastern equine, and Western equine virus) encephalitis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Detection of organism-specific antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may suggest central nervous system infection. However, these results are unable to distinguish between intrathecal antibodies and serum antibodies introduced into the CSF at the time of lumbar puncture or from a breakdown in the blood-brain barrier. The results should be interpreted with other laboratory and clinical data prior to a diagnosis of central nervous system infection.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
All results must be correlated with clinical history and other data available to the attending physician.
False-positive results may be caused by breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, or by the introduction of blood into the cerebrospinal fluid at collection.
Since cross-reactivity with dengue fever virus does occur with St. Louis encephalitis antigens, and, therefore, cannot be differentiated further, the specific virus responsible for positive results may be deduced by the travel history of the patient, along with available medical and epidemiological data, unless the virus can be isolated.
Eastern equine encephalitis and Western equine encephalitis viruses show some cross-reactivity; however, antibody response to the infecting virus is typically at least 8-fold higher.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

How To Make Flour Tortillas From Scratch
Good flour tortillas are a thing of beauty. Once you know the taste of fresh handmade tortillas, well lets just say you're missing out. Before we were making them ourselves we would drive across town to pick up the best of the best, but not any more because making them is as simple as mix, roll, heat and eat!
What You Need
2 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour (plus extra for dusting)
5 tablespoons Lard
3/4 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Warm Water
Medium Bowl
1. Mix Salt: Add salt to your measuring cup (or bowl) holding your water. Stir the solution gently until salt has dissolved.
2. Combine: Into a medium bowl, add flour and lard. Work the mixture with your hands (it will only be sticky for a minute) until it comes to a fine crumble. If you're making 100 of these, go ahead and use the food processor, otherwise, it's not worth your time and your hands will bring the mixture together in a few seconds. Just smoosh and moosh until it's all crumbly and an even texture.
3. Add Water: Pour 2/3 of your water into the dry mixture. Stir with a fork until mixture is chunky. Add remaining water (if needed) until combined and turn out onto a floured board.
4. Knead & Divide: Knead gently until it comes together (5-10 times). Divide into 12 pieces. Place in a pan (or on a plate) and cover with plastic wrap (or a barely moistened towel) and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
5. Roll: Once the dough balls have had time to rest, one by one, roll them with a rolling pin until they are 7" (give or take) in diameter. Keep remaining dough covered while you work. Roll them one at a time and cook one at a time (unless you're using a griddle or more than one pan). You can pick them up with your hand (gently) and lay it across your palm to transfer it to the pan.
6. Heat: Heat a dry skillet over medium to medium high heat (cast iron works great!) and let each tortilla cook for 30-45 seconds. You're looking for brown, not burnt (if they cook too long you'll have tortilla chips!) so don't hesitate to remove when done. Cover with a warm towel until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Additional Notes
If your tortillas don't sizzle quietly when they hit the pan, it isn't hot enough. If the residual flour (from rolling) smokes, your heat is too high. Don't be afraid to adjust your temperature or time left in the pan, but the best ones will come from a pan that's hot enough to allow the shortest cooking time on each side.
Making your own tortillas isn't hard, but it might take you a few tries to get your groove on. Having friends over for a taco or burrito night? Put them to work making their own tortillas while you're getting conversation started. What better way to get together than joining in to make your own meal from fresh ingredients!

"but the best ones will come from a hot enough pan and a cook cooking time on each side!"
..a cook cooking time?
Also,can you use a tortilla press?
Fresh lard makes a huge difference. The shelf stable stuff is an abomination - flavorless and terrible for you.
Fire up some carne guisada, frijoles, and mexican rice to go with these tortillas and I am in heaven.
A tortilla press won't work for flour tortillas.
Don't know that I've ever seen fresh lard anywhere.
Scoop - A tortilla press typically isn't large enough, hand rolling takes only a few seconds longer.
shikaakwa - I completely agree, sadly, it's hard to come by around these parts. If you have a great local butcher (one not in a grocery store with sliding doors) they'll save it for you if you ask (if they don't already sell it).
Also - What would happen if I cut the lard back a little?
You can also use vegetable shortening - though obviously it won't taste as good.
Yep, good butchers and Mexican grocery stores are good sources for fresh lard. It's also really easy to make yourself if you can get fat back or pork fat trimmings from your butcher.
We keep tortillas around as a staple in the fridge, and roll them out per meal. The best breakfast inthe world is tortilla, pinto beans, and eggs scrambled with Hatch green chili! My grandmother made batches to keep in the fridge to roll out as needed, (her hometown was San Antonio, TX) and as a child this always made such an impression on me! To just have a tortilla, whenever you want one...
As an adult now, squeamish about different fat types, I make mine with olive oil. And they're great! I know that they're more pliable with lard, but geez! Who keeps lard around? And shortening usually has hydrogenated fats--no thanks.
We used to go by a 4-3-2-1 recipe (4 Tbsp oil, 3 C flour, 2 tsp powder and 1 tsp salt) but it's kind of devolved into somea-this, soma-that.
Make your own lard! It's easy, delicious, lasts forever, and much better than the room-temperature store bought stuff. Ask your butcher for fat back; a couple of pounds. Cut it up into chunks and set it in an oven at a low temperature for several hours. Once it has completely melted, take it out, let it cool off a little and then strain it through cheese cloth. You've got lard!
Homemade tortillas are amazing, but it definitely took me several times to master the art. Tortilla presses only work for corn tortillas.
Are there any good-tasting recipes for these that don't include lard? I would sacrifice authenticity for being able to swap in a different fat, as long as the result was still tasty. Any suggestions?
LizLemonn - Even though the word "lard" sounds scary, fattening and the abomination of any diet, it really is the best way to go.
smorgenstern - That is an excellent alternative (we usually have some on hand, but happened to be out) and for sure the tastiest way to go -- hands down.
Bobolink - Cutting back on your lard will result in crispier, not-as-pliable tortillas that have less taste, because they would then just be flour and water (or more of it).
I actually have been saving bacon drippings and using them in place of lard in things like tortillas -- I've only used them in refried beans so far. Would that work for this case?
LizLemonn - I've had some success using butter. I'd do a test batch and adjust up or down as necessary.
how long will the doug balls keep in the fridge? can you freeze them?
Can't wait to try this out. My Mexican mother-in-law tried to teach me a few years ago, but her measurements were "a handful", "a few pinches", "pour in some water", etc.
empresscallipygos - Yes! Bacon fat works great!
Could these be made with rendered duck fat? I've got tons and tons of that.
Oh no no no. THE recipe is one that is from Homesick Texan. No butter or lard involved, just warm milk. (I've had GREAT success with skim too.) And about 2 teaspoons of oil.
Here is the link:
Just make the dough, let it rest for about 20 min. Then seperate into 8 or 10 balls. Then you can wait another 20, OR you can put the balls in a covered bowl in the fridge for more time or even until the next day. The reason I do this is because when the dough ball are cold, is because I've found that they are soooooo much easier to roll out thin.
I've done these with white, whole wheat white, whole wheat and I have never never never gotten a bad tortilla out of it. I'm also from TX, and have grown up on mexican food so I know a good tortilla when I eat one.
Oh and they are are super pliable and taste amazing. I freeze the rest and microwave them whenever I want one. They are heaven!
This is great news - I love flour tortillas, but the ingredients in the store bought are a mile long and sound like a chemical spill. I have some chicken stock on right now and may just use the fat that congeals instead of lard. Thanks for this post!
mangabanga - You sure could... and then you can mail me some!
I make sourdough tortillas that are to die for if you like sourdough breads because they have a bit of tang to them.
While making tortillas isn't difficult, it is time-consuming. I've done it many times because I live in Japan and have limited access to tortillas (and those I can get are often massively overpriced for frozen stuff).
It takes a lot of time and effort to roll the tortillas out thinly enough and to cook them one at a time. The cooking seems to drag on forever and transferring the rolled dough (which likes to fold and curl) is a pain.
Use some baking powder too. Then you won't have hard tortillas. I eyeball everything so I can't say how much it would actually be. If I'm making a big batch, I use about 2 tablespoons or two generous palm fulls.
Then instead of using lard, I started using Butter Crisco. They come out much lighter tasting and delicious.
They are a labor of love but they freeze beautifully if you want to make a big batch and save some for later. Of course you need to cook them first and let them cool. Put them in a freezer bag and just lay a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper between each one. (Otherwise when they thaw out, they can stick to each other.)
I don't eat white flour, sugar, or lard and like my tortillas super simple. Here's what I do:
* 2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 2 T olive oil
* 1/2 cup warm tap water
Mix until doughy. You may need more water if too dry. Let dough sit covered for 10 min. Heat a dry cast iron skillet at med-high heat. Roll out about 1/5-1/6 of the dough until it's super thin and circular and throw into the pan. Flip halfway through and then remove when it's done to your liking. I keep them between paper towels in a ziploc bag in the fridge. They last about a week or so and taste so yummy!!! Also they are super healthy.
Any tips for making them round? The couple of times I've made tortillas, they've turned out more like a freeform art project than nice rounds. Tasted great, though.
@LIZLEMONN Look for a recipe for chapattis. I was shown how to make these by a young Indian girl and they are made almost exactly as described above but have no fat at all. The only difference in the cooking is that I press them down with a spatula. This makes them puff up. They collapse again but it makes for an airier end product.
i totally agree when it comes to using homeade lard. i make mine myself and ever since then i havent looked back. im slowly making my way to making everything home made. like my chicken stocks and beef stocks, all my pickled and preserves. its GREAT!
I've been making tortillas for a while, based on a half-remembered recipe from a cookbook, and wanted to know how far off I was. Not far off at all!
My only cheat is to use oil instead of lard. I have absolutely no doubt in the world that tortillas made with lard are a little bit of heaven, but ones made with oil are still delicious, and quicker, as there's no rubbing in (you just add the water and then add the oil on top and it mixes in beautifully). I realise this is heresy. I am happy to burn at the stake for it.
A few tips I have found by trial and error:
- non-stick aluminium pans can't take the heat required for tortillas (painful experience!)
- You have to cover them up with a towel, or they harden as they cool
- Extra ones stored in the fridge tend to go "cracky", but you can soften them by putting them back on the griddle for a little while or wrapping them in a dish-towel and nuking them for 30s or so. That makes them soft and they will stay soft once they cool (though they will go cracky again in a few hours). I believe this is to do with gluten strands hardening with time - the heat softens them. temporarily. It's a way of delaying staling, and you can do it with bread, too.
Does anyone know how long you can store uncooked tortilla dough in the fridge? Is it just a question of "if it's not mouldy it's OK", or is there anything else that can go wrong with it?
Also I keep a dry dish-towel to hand and wipe the browned flour out of the pan in between each one. It stops smoking and limits the build-up of caramelised spots, which can be the very devil to get off. Wipe quickly with the towel bunched up, so as not to burn your hand!
You can use CANOLA OIL! They still taste just as delicious. Soft, tender and chewy. Tortillas made with canola oil are every bit as good and more heart healthy. Check out the recipe my mom developed: http://hotspicyandskinny.com/2013/01/14/healthier-homemade-tortillas-4-points/

The Great Debate UK
from Global Investing:
I blame the fund managers
I've been building up a couple of dummy funds on Reuters' new Portfolio tool. Not only is it a welcome diversion from actual work, but it allows me to test the mettle of the fund managers we speak to, and check out the guidance offered by the Lipper Leader fund rankings.
One of my portfolios uses the stock picks and short ideas offered up by the managers we interview for the many FUND VIEW stories which dot the Reuters wire. The other simply picks some of the funds which score highest across the Lipper fund sectors.
In theory, it gives me ample room to lay blame elsewhere when the dummy funds inevitably go belly up and I'm forced into a fire sale of assets to repay my dummy investors with dummy money. In truth though, I'm going to set the asset weightings and decide when to buy and sell so any abject failures will be more fairly laid at my door.
The early results, in fact, are pretty encouraging.
The Fund Viewer stock picking portfolio has delivered me a comforting 8 percent return since I put it up on Sept 25 (my wedding anniversary -- must be a good omen) and that's with a ridiculously cautious 36-percent weighting in cash, as well as some equally ridiculous single-stock exposures caused by misreading the denominations. (That little 'p' is pence folks, big 'P' is pounds)

my first day here....but the kinds of things I've been reading and how you guys talk to each other seems to be rather strange.....
I don't mean to insinuate everyone or anything like that or make this to be even true, as it could be just a matter of time...but....people here are pretty
sarcastic...defensive and a lil attacky? anyone else experience this?
Have you seen the Internet before? People get touchy on here but that's everywhere and I've seen far more intrusive Mods and far less courteous communities.
Clayton -
I'm not so sure your opening post and your thread title are congruent. I would tend to agree with the post, but I don't think that necessarily means there's anything "lacking". I actually think you have quite a bit of everything here.
But then again, as Clayton points out, that could be said for most places on the Interent. (It is of course, the Internet). If anything I would tend to agree with him in that we actually have more civility, and more logic, and more genuine debate here than most other places. (Definitely more logic).
Stick around. You might have some fun!
Definitely check out The Ultimate Beginner meta-thread. (I made it just for you ) It's really the best plac to start. (Also be sure to check out the welcome link there for forum tips and how-to's) Great to have you
this is exactly what I mean....
by lacking, I mean attacky (lacking value of others)....defensive (overly fearful of ego/pride etc?)....
to take one thing, how is it considered 'full' or 'unlacking' to have attacky people?....nevertheless this isn't about semantics...
we could have a difference in opinion of virtues....but from my definitions this place is pretty brute for an intellectual community I thought it would be a bit different.
saveyourself1:this place is pretty brute for an intellectual community I thought it would be a bit different.
Well, for one thing, it would really depend on how you define "intellectual community". Because you have to realize, at the end of the day this is a free sign-up, automatically-approved Internet forum.
What were you expecting exactly?
this place is pretty brute
I suppose you'll consider it attacky for me to ask for some specific examples because I don't understand what you're on about.
Clayton:this place is pretty bruteI suppose you'll consider it attacky for me to ask for some specific examples because I don't understand what you're on about.
How about your avatar, for one, Attacky Attacker-kick someone down a bottomless pit-erson.
There are a few posters here who post prolifically, and have a tendency to go into needless BS, with a bad habit of derailing threads with low-content squabbling.
It is, unfortunately, a very small forum for what it is. The echo chamber has gotten worse since I got here. Still, some good conversations can be had. They just really need to fix the damn forum software and I think we'll see an increase in the number of contributers.
Okay so i singed up here a while ago. I been lurcking for a while. I figure this is as good a time as any for my first post
I see what you mean, but at the same time I guess i'm kinda use to it. Forums are like that sometimes. A lot of times actually. But I definitely get more out of most of the stuff here than anywhere else I found.
Prob some of the best education I've had
Well this is the internet, and in addition to that most of the users of this forum understand something that is so clearly true, yet are constantly ridiculed by the most robust ignoramuses. The users here are therefore more likely to be those who don't stand for people spouting crap (which is perhaps a rare breed). Apparently Mises himself could be 'defensive and a lil attacky' at times.
If you see people with 300 posts plus talking to eachother chances are its two people who have talked enough with each other in the past to get to know each other. If people are doing it to new people you have a point
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
Aristippus:Apparently Mises himself could be 'defensive and a lil attacky' at times.
Reason Magazine: But you knew Mises personally. Did you see the intolerance that you find in his method also in his personal behavior?
Milton Friedman: No question. The story I remember best happened at the initial Mont Pelerin meeting when he got up and said, "You're all a bunch of socialists." We were discussing the distribution of income, and whether you should have progressive income taxes. Some of the people there were expressing the view that there could be a justification for it.
Another occasion which is equally telling: Fritz Machlup was a student of Mises's, one of his most faithful disciples. At one of the Mont Pelerin meetings, Fritz gave a talk in which I think he questioned the idea of a gold standard; he came out in favor of floating exchange rates. Mises was so mad he wouldn't speak to him for three years. Some people had to come around and bring them together again.
Maybe we all just have a little Mises in us
Perhaps that's why they call us "MIsesians"! aaahhh!
The bird is the word.
I have never laughed so much in the last month. Man, I have tears in my eyes.
Forums are generally "attacky". I make it one of my goals to try to keep discussion as civil as possible, but trust me, with how stupid both parties think the other party is within an ideological internet debate, it's really great that we have as civil a community even if there there are one or two people who are not... Team players.
I have encountered the Mises atmosphere at another forum... what were the similarities?
Ancap66:I have encountered the Mises atmosphere at another forum... what were the similarities?
Both forums have blunt features and bland aesthetics. This creates an impersonal flavor which, due to the anonymity of the internet, can sometimes induce hostility.
That sounds like "the Internet".
The forum members feel intuitively that they are right about an issue, but because everyone else in society expresses a contrary opinion, it is very easy to slip back into propaganda-feeding zombie mode. In these circumstances, people react defensively to contrary opinions because they're afraid of being "bitten".
I actually think that's the case here a lot less often than most other places. Indeed, here people generally have a good idea of what their philosophy is and why they subscribe to it. They are also usually at least somewhat familiar with basic concepts of economics, political philosophy, and logic. In most other places, you are quite likely to find all of these (to borrow the OP's term) "lacking". It is for this reason that it is in those places you would typically see the auto-defense response...as claiming to subscribe to something and having no real understanding of what it is (let alone why they subscribe to it) is a very vulnerable place to be.
I find that people here are quite willing to have their positions challenged, and will actually engage in actual debate, or at least intellectual discourse, most of the time.
Despite what others may say, I find that there is a certainly level of intellectual respect and courtesy for others who display not even necessarily a certain level of knowledge, but just a certain level of genuine interest and intellectual honesty. (Of course exhibiting healthy logic goes a long way.)
Just because the tone may come off a bit locker-roomish doesn't mean there is animosity or disgust. As Neo said, most of the posts here are from "regulars" who more or less know each other and have at least somewhat of a rapport. You can't let people who basically know each other busting each other's balls make you think this is actually a hostile place.
I actually feel kind of sorry for anyone who does...and fear for them if they ever venture virtually anywhere else on the Internet. (I suppose YouTube is curbed because of the character limit.) But seriously. Go anywhere. Visit some blogs. Visit other forums. Sure the aire is a bit more intellectual here, and the vocabulary is a bit higher, and the subject matter is that which a lot of people might consider dry, or above their heads, or outside of their realm of concern or interest...but an Internet forum is an Internet forum...is an Internet forum.
Every one is going to have essentially the same dynamic. Just in different degrees and different flavors. If you don't like the one you find, there are literally a million others to choose from. Go check them out.
The members are also very sarcastic, which is what happens after you've seen a line of cars driving off the same cliff, and can seemingly do nothing to stop them.

Oh, and about sarcasm, I am in love with sarcasm. I love it so much, I even laugh when I'm on the butt end of good, quality sarcasm. I want to be Mencken when I grow up. Sarcasm is like a verbal razor blade that can slice through the waist-deep rat's nest that the hive mind weaves out of thin air. It's like carseats. Or Osama bin Laden. Or the American Dream. They are all 100% pure, unadultered, refined, sugar-enhanced, twice-fermented bull shit.
Of course, sarcasm is a weapon that can serve good or evil so it should be used with care and newbies should not be subjected to more sarcasm than they deign to deal. Most importantly, sarcasm should almost exclusively be aimed at ideas, not frequenters of the boards unless a particular frequenter is a known troll or all-round ass. In that case, I say let the verbal razor-blades flay them alive!

I think Mises is a fucking boss for walking out on those wannabes.
well i personally like how the forum layout looks like, but the list of threads should be improved.

Guys - this forum is too simplistic. We need more complex arabesque curves.
I think if we get a good enough coder there's a way we could give the forum steatopygia.

So I'm sure you have seen the poster Xerographica on forums. If not, here's the dude's blog: http://pragmatarianism.blogspot.com/. Well, in the following essay, me and a friend disprove his position in full, with chiefly economic but also moral argumentation: http://libertariananarchy.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/hello-world/
Right off the bat: there are no "oughts"- choice is only affirmed by Human Action - after that we talk about the nature of what it is and the consequences of such a fact. You simply can not disprove anything that says "ought" other than by action which renders such language smbols as irrelevant / unecessary (it can be called gibberish, but it can't be disproven)
Also:The root word for Pragmatarianism.(pragmatic) doesn't seem to be used in a correct matter. If I am reading his definition correct: If an individual is there to make an choice he wants (in this case in regards to taxes), that simply isn't an form of pragmatism...it's liberterianism.
If that is not what he is speaking of, an somehow speaking of a socialogical "usefulness" - it's just a form of utilitarianism
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
Yeah, well we're Rothbardians, not Misesians, we believe that the is/ought dichotomy is false.
double post - EDIT
In that case disregard my thoughts.
I would still say my point on the root of his word and definition is confusing
You're certainly right about that. I agree, we should have covered it.
We just used his definitions and terms for simplicity, but there could've been a section which covered that.
yeah, that's usually the best solution to a debate - use the person's own terms and don't worry too much about the "real" meaning of things....lol, one may even dare to call such an approach pragmatic dialogue
Anyway critiques on the choice of words is best left as esoteric points or "b" level arguments
Haha, are the economic arguments solid though?
I mean, I know you're not a moralist (so that's irrelevant to you), but I'd hope you could comment on the econ, since that was the main part of the essay?
There are way too man thoughts for me to go around to make an definitive statement, but: to make it easy just based off this:
Pragmatarianism is an ideology professed as a solution on which everyone can ostensibly concur: each individual chooses where his or her tax dollars go. So, if Jenna wants to allocate all her money to more EPA regulations, she can decide to do that. If Bill wants all his money to go into the military apparatus, he too can make this choice. According to the founder of pragmatarianism, this would solve a certain "public goods" problem; people could "invest" in whatever "public goods" they please! While this may sound nice, there is a flaw: each individual is forced to pay into this system as the government
I can't distinguish any of this outside of private market allocations. So once again, what the difference between "pragmentarianis" and the EPA - than an "Ancap" view of it as EPA.inc? In other words, if this is how to invest money and everything has an actual factual profit loss indicator - I'm at a loss
If this is about a democrtatic allocation of wealth, than we have a whole new set of problems, which I think you start addressing...if not, I'm confused
Well, pragmatarianism lets you allocate your taxes to a list of government agencies. (so any of your choice). But you're still forced to pay taxes.
It's actually a somewhat unique ideology, so it was fun to cover.
So it's like:
You're paying 15% taxes, but you choose where that 15% goes?
The democratic thing I was talking about is basically that he says voters (i.e., a majority) would determine the tax rate and available list of government agencies.
There's a quote from the guy about democracy somewhere in our essay: "In a pragmatarian system voters would determine the functions of government and taxpayers would determine which functions to fund."
Yeah, so the ideology definitely has an element of democracy, which we cover quite a bit.
You're paying 15% taxes, but you choose where that 15% goes?
You're paying 15% taxes, but you choose where that 15% goes?
Exactly this.
Oh, I get it..your on the right track than, from what I can tell.
I usually harp on calculation, Misean epitimology, time prefrence, uncertainty, and expectations. I have a bit of a reservation on the Hayekian theory of knowledge, but you essentially covered the probel with what seems to be "pragmatarianism".
I didn't even think about the structure of production, which is odd because I like Lachmann, but that is a good touch too. So yeah, off the initial glance I think you got him pegged
That said: 2 glasses of ouzo, 1 shot of rye, and four beers - my logic may be a bit off for the time being - so take what I say with a grain of salt
Do you have any suggestions as to an edit which would allow readers to get the concept (of pragmatarianism) more quickly? That would help a lot. This was just released, so your advice could help.
Not really. I am basing everything off of quick reading, and the contents of this thread - so it was explained quickly enough to me, assuming what you sai was true about it.
If anything you could use something like the "15% tax example" asap in your essay, if you think that would help to get the definition across as quickly as possible - if not, you've done a good enough job as is
Thanks, I edited it with your suggestion. That will help the readers a ton.
I also look forward to your commentary if/when you read it in a less inebriated state. xD
I debated Xerographica at the new forums. My main point of content was that pragmatarianism manages to combine the worst aspects of government and anarchy, with few of the benefits. On one hand, you still coerce taxes. On the other, as people can allocate their taxes, a clear problem of the provision of 'public goods' arises: will defense be underfunded? So, it addresses none of the issues that government is allegedly set up to tackle, and it still manages to infringe our rights. I very much doubt it would work practicaly (I do not see who would favor it). yet, with a few modifications I think it could be made into an improvement over what we have now.
"Yeah, well we're Rothbardians, not Misesians, we believe that the is/ought dichotomy is false."
Rothbard [Beyond Is and Ought] accepted Hoppe's breakthrough with great enthusiaism.
...In order to come to a policy conclusion, I have long maintained, economists have to come up with some kind of ethical system. Note that all branches of modern "welfare economics" have attempted to do just that: to continue to be "scientific" and therefore value-free, and yet to make all sorts of cherished policy pronouncements (since most economists would like at some point to get beyond their mathematical models and draw politically relevant conclusions). Most economists would not be caught dead with an ethical system or principle, believing that this would detract from their "scientific" status.
And yet, remarkably and extraordinarily, Hans Hoppe has proven me wrong. He has done it: he has deduced an anarcho-Lockean rights ethic from self-evident axioms. Not only that: he has demonstrated that, just like the action axiom itself, it is impossible to deny or disagree with the anarcho-Lockean rights ethic without falling immediately into self-contradiction and self-refutation...
"Here the praxeological proof of libertarianism has the advantage of offering a completely value-free justification of private property. It remains entirely in the realm of is-statements and never tries to derive an "ought" from an "is." -- HHH, Economics and ethics of private property, p345
So it's wiser to accept the dichotomy.
Anyway, I applaud the effort to write on essay on this... not that it's going to change the guys opinions and activism. He delusionally thinks he is offering the 'new third way'.
Conza, that's interesting, for sure. Thanks for the quotes and information. I will say, I definitely concur with Hoppe's argumentation ethics, in addition to the Rothbardian vision of Natural Law; I'm unsure whether I agree with the concept of the is/ought dichotomy, as I remember seeing a thread where Rothbard disproved it in one of his books. At any rate, I accept its possibility as feasible (though I'm a sceptic about it), and it is something which I shall certainly have to ponder in the future. Thanks! And thanks for your kind words on the essay too; I appreciate it. Yeah, it's not necessarily going to change his mind, but perhaps at least it will introduce him to some new concepts; and, ideally, it will serve to prevent any others from being fooled by Pragmatarianism. (Not sure if anyone has been). It was a funny coincidence that your example of the Nazi Pragma-Concentration Camps coincided with my example of the Pragma-Gulag...I saw your alternate idea on the RP forums. =)
Anyone feel absolutely 100% free to quote from our work if you get in discussion with him.
Merlin, I concur with you, that's one of the basic issues at work here: surpluses and shortages in accordance with Mises' economic calculation problem. Pragmatarianism is not even a Libertarian ideology, as the Gulag and 100% tax hypotheticals demonstrate clearly. Read the bit on Pragma-Nihilism (my name for the philosophy) at the bottom if you want to see my opinions on the disastrous moral implications of his beliefs. He truly doesn't care--at all--about the infringement of Natural Rights and libertarian ethic. So I don't see why he expects acceptance from a Libertarian crowd. Even Utilitarians can smell the BS. But, I will say, the BS comes from his application of pragmatarianism as an end, rather than as a potential mean. The thing is, if he wants to take a valourous way out, he can still salvage that aspect of his ideology as a means for Libertarianism, which I give a degree of support to. Not that he would do this: he'll probably continue absurdly advocating his solution as an ultimate end, in CONFLICT with the people who he is trying to get to accept his allegedly "pragmatic" final solution.
So, anyway guys, maybe this is asking too much, but I'd definitely be interested in any criticism, or--what I'd really appreciate--is any promotion of our very new blog and its first essay. (Sorry if that sounds like an ad, ha, but it's not as blatant as certain Xerographicas). Anyway, I'm sure Josh and I made some errors in there you guys can point out (ooh, we accept some "pragmatarian" fallibilism), and I'm sure you guys have youtube channels/blogs/twitter accounts by which you could give this a quick share. Which I'd really appreciate if possible. I'd also appreciate any first subsriptions to our blog. We plan on publishing more high quality essays in the future: that's our primary style, after all. So, anyway, thanks if you help out!
Just as an update, if anyone is interested.
In response to another thread about this essay elsewhere on the internet, Xerographica has to say: "Woah! Great job guys! As I mentioned in my thread on Strategy Suggestions...the more blogs the better. Especially when they discuss Hayek's partial knowledge concept and Bastiat's opportunity cost concept. The essay on pragmatarianism was quite excellent! I'm going to get started on my response."
At any rate, I will say I have grown to appreciate and respect Xerographica's undying positivity and enthusiasm. This is balanced out by his vices, like obstinancy and persistence in the face of overwhelming evidence, of course, but you should see my point. Without him and his positive annoyance, we'd have never started a blog to begin with.
New update: Evidently there has already been a response released:
Here's my response...pragmatarianism disproved?
Here's my response...pragmatarianism disproved?
On first glance, he didn't address any of our argumentation. All we'll have to do is defend our choice of theoretical tax rate. Easy stuff, or should be.

End User Tips
Managing Radios- The Galaxy 10.1 tablet comes equipped with a WiFi & Bluetooth radio to communicate with other devices with the same radio. If the tab is in an environment where there is no need to talk to the other devices with the radio, these features can be disabled. This helps improve battery performance. To learn how to access and make changes to the radio, see the information below.
Turning Radios On/Off
Managing Display- The Galaxy 10.1 tablet comes with a sensor to help aid in self-managing display based on lighting conditions. To learn how to access and make changes to display settings, see the information below.
Display Modifications
Managing Sync Intervals- The Galaxy 10.1 tablet comes with the capability to synchronize data from various sources. The types of data that can be shared depend on the application. In our example, we will show how to change the interval for synchronizing email from an Exchange server. To learn how to access and make changes to the radio, see the information below.
Note: Depending on the application, sync settings may not be available!
Setting Sync Intervals
Developer Tips
Network Calls- Android has a utility class called AsyncTask that can be used to help handle lengthly operations that need to report to your main thread, which is normally your UI thread. If your application needs to make a call to retrieve data, whether it is for weather, news, or your latest friend's post, having a separate thread will run in parallel to your UI thread because Android slices up non utilized CPU so that no one task overtakes another. By coding an application this way, it should reduce ANR errors encountered by the end user. Not only will it reduce the errors, it should speed up your application.
WakeLocks- Android was designed for the mobile computing environment; thus, it has been optimized to converse power. As apart of the PowerManager, WakeLock is a class that calls the CPU to "nudge it" so that it wakes up and performs an action. When coding your application, don't forget to release the WakeLock. If the WakeLock is not released, this could cause undesired drainage to the end user's power source.
Proguard- Since Android 2.2, Proguard is a useful Java class file that can remove unused fields and classes as it shrinks the code. Furthermore, it optimizes the bytecode. With a smaller code base, the application should run quicker.

Rated 5 out of 5�by moose This product has too many features (personally i only need a heart monitor) This is a great product with lots of great features, however, as I stated, I only need a heart monitor, I have a watch, and a calendar. I wish you could make a simple one phase, one function heart monitor without all the extras. Thank you!!! November 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by D This product is easy to use. This product is easy to use and comfortable to wear. The heart rate is accurate. The only bad thing is that you have to completely replace the chest band when the battery runs out. November 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by trailrunnerX43 Polar FT1 Heart Rate Monitor first time using a Polar brand HR monitor. After several tries, the i decided that the chest strap unit was defective and return the item. Previous HR monitor that worked very well was a Nike product and did not find any in store.

Rated 4 out of 5�by AFR Polar FT1 Heart Rate Monitor If you do not need to record stuff on a software programme then this basic HRM is for you.

text: Shot my Saber Takedown at the range for the first time today. Only "aid" I have on it is a NAP Flipper Rest. No sights. Started as 15yds and moved to 20 after I gained some confidence. I don't have enough experience with other traditional bows to compare this too. All I can say is I had fun shooting it. I agree with the earlier post that it is consistent. At least when I miss I miss consistently. I can work on my form to help that. The only other thing I've done besides change the string and the arrow rest is put some felt strips from a roll of adhesive velcro over the string grooves. Got that at Home Depot. Very inexpensive way to help quite the bow. Works great. I don't think you can go wrong getting this bow. Its a good value and lots of fun to shoot and its an awesome looking bow.
