Rude! But keep in mind that the video is fuzzy and there are no guarantees that the device in the video is actually an iPhone. Could it be some sort of translation gadget? After all, we do see him reach for his ear a number of times before grabbing the "iPhone." On the other hand, it could be a Bluetooth headset he is reaching for—which would be even ruder. Black market iPhones are prized in Russia among the social elite—and who could be more elite than the President? Plus, various sources claim that Sarkozy has been seen in the past with an iPhone, so it is not outside the realm of possibility. [Siberian Light]Reply32 repliesLeave a reply

All of his technique and skills is essential for those photos. We feel so lucky to have Michael to be our wedding photographer. He keep our best memory into the photo and I will never forget these moment.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
Michael Photography made all of our wedding memories come true! Not only were our photos beyond amazing, but the prescence of Sergio and his assistant was delightful! From begining to end they were professional and attentive. Our wedding guests are still commenting on how enjoyable they were to have around! We were looking for a highly creative photographer with a passion for art...needless to say, that is what we got! Thank you so much Michael! We would recommend you in a heartbeat!
What was your favorite wedding photo?
Our photos arrived, along with a beautifully put-together video 3 weeks after our ceremony and they exceeded our expectations. In addition to the formal (posed) photos, there were the most amazing candid shots.

Antibiotic resistant bacterial infections pose a serious threat to human health and strategies to overcome these infections are desperately needed. Many clinically used antibiotics target the final steps of peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis, which involve the polymerization of disaccharide-peptide subunits by peptidoglycan glycosyltransferases (PGTs) and the crosslinking of the polymerized chains by transpeptidases (TPs). There are major gaps in our understanding of these steps, which has hampered efforts to develop new antibiotics. The PG matrix is assembled into a complex three-dimensional polymer from a single disaccharide substrate. In order to understand how the PGTs and TPs function, one must be able to make complicated substrates designed to discriminate between different subsites of enzymes that couple identical molecules. We propose three specific aims involving the use of peptidoglycan fragments to address major gaps in knowledge about PGTs and TPs. For example, although the TPs are the lethal targets of the beta-lactams, they remain almost completely uncharacterized.
In Aim I we propose to a) identify tetrasaccharide substrates containing a blocked non-reducing end that activate PGTs for elongation, and b) to use these molecules to obtain a crystal structure of the PGT "elongation complex". PGT domains we and others have previously crystallized with moenomycin will be used for these studies. A structure of an elongation competent PGT:substrate complex would provide new insights into catalysis and a new basis for virtual screening and design of inhibitors.
In Aim II, we propose to a) make peptidoglycan polymer substrates capable of activation but not crosslinking, and b) to use them in conjunction with polymer substrates capable of activation and crosslinking to develop assays that report on peptide activation, hydrolysis, and crosslinking by bacterial transpeptidases. E. coli PBP1A and E. faecalis PBP2A will be used as model enzymes for these experiments. The ability to assay TP activity will make it possible to address the functions of TP-regulatory proteins in bacteria and to characterize the substrate specificities of TPs from other organisms.
In Aim III, we propose to a) make the three main stem-peptide variants of S. aureus Lipid II and use these substrates to make the corresponding PG polymers;and b) to characterize the abilities of the beta-lactam sensitive and beta-lactam resistant transpeptides in MRSA to activate, hydrolyze, and crosslink these polymers. It has been proposed that the S. aureus TPs have different substrate preferences, and that this explains why deleting genes involved in stem peptide branching restores beta-lactam sensitivity to MRSA strains containing an intrinsically resistant transpeptidase. There is no biochemical evidence for this hypothesis since the substrate preferences of the S. aureus TPs have not been examined. The results of the experiments in Aim III have implications for new approaches to overcome MRSA that involve combining a beta-lactam with compounds that target other proteins involved in methicillin resistance.
Resistance to common antibiotics poses a serious threat to public health. One of the major targets for antibiotics is bacterial cell wall synthesis, and the research proposed here is directed towards developing a detailed understanding of the enzymes that catalyze the final steps of bacterial cell wall synthesis. A better understanding of these enzymes may lead to new strategies to overcome antibiotic resistance.

Questions and Answers
Reviewed by 1 customer
I originally purchased these because they were the only pants with fully taped seams and the waterproof/breathable & insulation numbers I wanted. I have to say I bought the right pants. These are super thin, fit fantastically, and have a great range movement. Usually I have the zip vents open as they are plenty warm with 1 base layer underneath. One thing to mention is mine have a white rossignol R insignia on the side at the right knee which is about 1 1/2 inch diameter. I like it but it may put other people off.

He seemed like a lovely guy. I enjoyed that, thanks Laura.
It's always a treat to see some of the inner datacenter workings, and the future vision of the datacenter is certainly an interesting area of discussion. Hopefully we'll see more of this type of stuff in the future. Thanks Laura and Christian!
Really interesting, I love to hear how the likes of Microsoft undertake these projects and having the capacity to think and innovate to the next level. I've often looked at those gas flares but never once have I thought about putting a datacentre next to one - great idea & got to be fun if you get to do it.

WELCOMEIn today's world we gain knowledge through texts, audio, visual, verbal, etc., in form of lectures, seminars, workshops, etc. so we use only 2 or 3 knowledge senses i.e. ear, eye and tongue. In Reality, we have 5 knowledge senses! And one Meta knowledge sense!
The five are through our organs, Eye, Ear, Mouth-tongue, Nose, Skin and the Meta knowledge sense is the sixth sense.

What is Scientific Concentration ?Sixth sense is nothing but our mind and mind is scientifically defined as our level of concentration or simply concentration, ekagrata, chitta. So, people, intelligent persons, all defer from each other with variation in level of concentration. Some get less mark, less output in work and some get more due to this, variation of level of concentration. Level of concentration is directly proportional to time. So, equilibrium of 5 senses for minutes, hours, days will increase your concentration. To increase your concentration you have to go from superficial body sensations to deep body sensations over time.

Languages Recognizable by Quantum Finite Automata
- Rūsiņš FreivaldsAffiliated withInstitute of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Latvia
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
There are several nonequivalent definitions of quantum finite automata. Nearly all of them recognize only regular languages but not all regular languages. On the other hand, for all these definitions there is a result showing that there is a language l such that the size of the quantum automaton recognizing L is essentially smaller than the size of the minimal deterministic automaton recognizing L.
For most of the definitions of quantum finite automata the problem to describe the class of the languages recognizable by the quantum automata is still open. The partial results are surveyed in this paper. Moreover, for the most popular definition of the QFA, the class of languages recognizable by a QFA is not closed under union or any other binary Boolean operation where both arguments are significant.
The end of the paper is devoted to unpublished results of the description of the class of the recognizable languages in terms of the second order predicate logics. This research is influenced by the results of Büchi [1,2], Elgot [3], Trakhtenbrot [4] (description of regular languages in terms of MSO), R.Fagin [5,6] (description of NP in terms of ESO), von Neumann [7] (quantum logics), Barenco, Bennett et al. [8](universal quantum gates).

Kamalaya Spa Resort
Serves meat, vegan options available. Food is fresh, natural and healthy. Many choices plus a detox menu. Call for hours - tell us.
Category: Vegan-friendly, International, Thai, Juice bar, Non-veg
Reviews (1)First Review by A
OK - Edit
Spa is okay, food is tolerable.
The food here is much heavier than standard spa fare (including Chiva Som). Many of the dishes are too intricate (heavily gourmet and farther from nature) and use excess oil, including pad thai and vegetable ragout.
Breakfast spread had flies all over it (they leave the doors open). A rather silly oversight for a 'luxury resort'.
Expect to have healthier food at a spa than this.
Cons: too heavy, flies, just want fresh food!

It's amazing that the army, navy, airforce, biologists, scientific labs, hospitals, companies, corporations or anyone using sensitive equipment do not use this technology. Hell, they even split the atom without one of these power cords. Yet the audiophile market has been at it for 30 years or so, exploiting the unreliability of human hearing. lol.

|Property type
This property shares the pool with VRBO 486772, which is a new second floor to VRBO 110068. This private, 2200 square foot house, with 650 square foot guest house, is located 1 mile from a 5 mile long beach. It is muy tranquillo with a beautiful view of the beach and a beautiful tropical garden, where Howler Monkeys come right up to the porch. A new, 39 foot pool with patio looks over the beach view. There is beach combing, surfing, guided sport fishing and incredible bird watching nearby. One, two or four-day beach horseback riding to Mal Pais is easy to arrange. Many excellent, inexpensive restaurants are nearby.
This house is situated in the middle of the jungle with many birds. The new pool is linked to the new patio for best enjoyment of the great weather. The pool provides complete privacy for lounging around. You can watch the clouds of parrots eating the palm seed from the pool.
The main house is quite open to the ocean breezes and cooled by multiple fans. The large porch provides protected, outside tropical living in any weather. This is where you live watching the wildlife and ocean view cooled by the ocean breezes.
The garden has a large number of flowers that make wonderful arrangements. There are oranges, limes, papaya, grapefruit, mangos, avocados, guanabana and starfruit close to the house, waiting to be picked for breakfast.
Keywords: House
This house is located in a beautiful jungle close to the beach. It is in a very quite area, muy tranquilo. The locals are very nice and helpful. This is the most relaxing place I have ever been.
La casa es excelente, la construcción, las estancias y la piscina. Está un poco alejada del la calle principal ( Que realmente es un punto a favor) El viaje desde San José es un poco extenso, pero al llegar a la casa, llega al paraíso.
Muy segura y silenciosa. La mejor casa de la zona de Coyote.
secure house, amazing view, gorgeous infinity pool, easy to get there, a really nice place for some amazing vacations.
I almost forgot!!!!! Please rent or take a 4x4 vehicle other wise it will be to difficult to get to. There are 2 ways to get there take the Jicaral way the other one u have to cross like 4 little rivers.
House was beautiful!!! I stayed in the first floor and had an amazing time! We were a large family of 10 and we were very comfortable, but bring your own blow out bed because the bed was damage... But over all Wayne and Minor were a great host! No Tv so for those Tv lovers don't expect it. Anyway who needs a tv with those views and the wonderful pool over looking the ocean?!?! The rooms were really large and that was a plus! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. I wished I could of stayed there for longer.
Considering that March is the hottest time of year (97) with no air conditioning it wasn't too bad. The pool is a life saver, great pool. We had the whole house and casita and the casita was not cleaned. No towels,no toilet paper, and dirty. The hot water in the main bathroom did not exist and it seemed that it ihadn't for awhile. No internet for a few days and no phone at all. Caretaker not on top of things. Bought a standing fan for the house, hope it is still there for the next guests. Grandkids are from Arizona and.oved every minute in the ocean. Beautiful area and people very nice.
"Casa De Wayne" was: relaxing, refreshing, calming, and provided that much needed get away. The property provided all the necessities and Wayne went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and knowledgeable about the area prior to arrival. This property is perfect if you want to truly "get away" from all types of comercial activity and immerse yourself in "la pura vida." I do hope to rent from Wayne again as this was a most memorable trip with good friends and good times.

Comments: I wear a 34 jean and large fits perfect. If your closer to 36 waist might want to look at XL. Hip padding is enough to provide extra protection. Their 5 pad short has thicker padding but it has no sock holders. Only thing that would make this better is a tailbone pad like the Bauer model has. But this is about half the price with IW discounts so worth trying out.

Well, Uncle Hugh (the vet) has had lots of practice and he knows how to wrap
a tight towel that even Sugar couldn't escape. I remember the first time I
took Braveheart in - a strong, wiry, feral cat. He actually climbed the
wallpaper to the ceiling with his claws. But Uncle Hugh got hold of him and
snugged him up in a towel and there's been no problem since. I understand
anesthetic for a 4 yr cleaning, but I believe if they were cleaned every
year, they wouldn't need the anesthetic. And I think it's better for the
teeth and gums to be examined and cleaned more frequently. Nothing I say
will change how it is done anywhere else; I'm just glad that my vet does it
this way.

Badami – Where Gods Abide in Caves
The emerald-green Agasthya Lake sparkles in the evening light, surrounded by a glowing sandstone outcrop that was once the capital of the Chalukya rulers. This town, which once answered to the name of Vatapi, was built back in the 6th century. Today we know it as Badami, and it is named after the ruddy colour of the rocky cliffs here.
Join LAKSHMI SHARATH on a visual tour of the spectacular rock-cut caves of Badami in Karnataka's Bagalkot district.

When my boss asked me to go, I was out of excuses. As a freelancer for an online Hindu magazine who had written dozens of profiles of prestigious yogis, Swamis, and the nuances of Indian culture, it was my professional duty. Still, I was terrified.

Language of Schooling by Mary J. Schleppegrell
Book DescriptionThis book is about how language is used in the context of schooling. It demonstrates that the variety of English expected at school differs from the interactional language that students use for social purposes outside of school, and provides a linguistic analysis of the challenges of the school curriculum, particularly for non-native speakers of English, speakers of non-standard dialects, and students who have little exposure to academic language outside of schools. The Language of Schooling: A Functional Linguistics Perspective builds on current sociolinguistic and discourse-analytic studies of language in school, but adds a new dimension--the framework of functional linguistic analysis. This framework focuses not just on the structure of words and sentences, but on how texts are constructed--how particular grammatical choices create meanings in the different kinds of texts students are asked to read and write at school. The Language of Schooling: A Functional Linguistics Perspective *provides a functional description of the kinds of texts students are expected to read and write at school; *relates research from other sociolinguistic and language development perspectives to research from the systemic functional linguistics perspective; *focuses on the increasing linguistic demands of contexts of advanced literacy (middle school through college); *analyzes the genres typically encountered at school, with extensive description of the grammatical features of the expository essay, a gatekeeping genre for secondary school graduates; *reviews the grammatical features of disciplinary genres in science and history; and *argues for more explicit attention to language in teaching all subjects, with a particular focus on what is needed for the development of critical literacy. This book will enable researchers and students of language in education to recognize how the grammatical and discourse features of the language of schooling construct the content areas, role relationships, and purposes and expectations of schools. It also will enable them to better understand the nature of language itself and how it emerges from and helps to maintain social structures and institutions, and to apply these understandings to creating classroom environments that build on the strengths students bring to school.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1720) TimeLimitedIndexReader and associated utility class
|Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:07:28 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1720?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12833867#action_12833867 ] Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-1720: ------------------------------------ bq. Would that be abstract? ... I've actually went ahead and implemented a wrap(IndexReader) method. The default impl returns a new FilterIndexReader, since it's a concrete class. We should add it to its javadocs, saying that you'd better override that method as well. Since it's not just for reopen (on all its 3 variants), but for getSequentialSubReaders as well, I think it's useful ... BTW, you seem to implemented correctly getSequentialSubReaders on TimeLimitingIndexReader, while FilterIndexReader doesn't ... so I pulled your implementation up to FIR and by calling wrap(IndexReader) for every sub reader, both FIR and TLIR implement it correctly. I'm now working on adding more tests to TestTLIR. Hope to post a patch really soon. > TimeLimitedIndexReader and associated utility class > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1720 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1720 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Index > Reporter: Mark Harwood > Assignee: Mark Harwood > Priority: Minor > Attachments: ActivityTimedOutException.java, ActivityTimeMonitor.java, ActivityTimeMonitor.java, ActivityTimeMonitor.java, Lucene-1720.patch, Lucene-1720.patch, LUCENE-1720.patch, TestTimeLimitedIndexReader.java, TestTimeLimitedIndexReader.java, TimeLimitedIndexReader.java, TimeLimitedIndexReader.java > > > An alternative to TimeLimitedCollector that has the following advantages: > 1) Any reader activity can be time-limited rather than just single searches e.g. the document retrieve phase. > 2) Times out faster (i.e. runaway queries such as fuzzies detected quickly before last "collect" stage of query processing) > Uses new utility timeout class that is independent of IndexReader. > Initial contribution includes a performance test class but not had time as yet to work up a formal Junit test. > TimeLimitedIndexReader is coded as JDK1.5 but can easily be undone. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

This review is from: RAZER Blackwidow Chroma RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard
Pros: Great quality, good feel, lighting is amazing and synapse configurations all in same place as my headset and mouse. Highly configurable and very feature rich. Great keyboard
Cons: none really except 1. I had trouble adjusting to the keyboard due to the row of keys running vertical on the left hand side. I have to realign my fingers sometimes since I am used to a regular keyboard at work. Not a design flaw so much as a human habit issue.
Other Thoughts: a friend and I purchased this keyboard at the same time and we both do different lighting effects than eachother. When we game in the same room it's pretty cool to see.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: APEVIA X-DREAMER4 Series X-DREAMER4-PK Pink Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Good size, good configuration. Fans nicer than expected, over all better quality than I expected, and really good for the price.
Cons: Not the highest quality case, but for the price it's extremely good quality.
Other Thoughts: I bought this for a pink computer build. It was a gift, and they were extremely happy. All in all a great purchase if you're looking for a pink case.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9S-4GBXL
Pros: Fast, stable, works great
Cons: None so far
Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace some memory that was no longer working. My G.Skill has a lifetime warranty, but I didn't want to wait for an RMA process and have downtime on that machine. I purchased this memory and have had no issues with it. It benchmarked high and has been stable since I have purchased. It remains at comfortable temps and I would recommend to others.

Loveee my dress! love the price! love the shipping time!!!
I felt so frustrated when and I was looking for my wedding dress because I went to many bridal stores and the prices were sooo over budget and finding this website was an oasis in the middle of the desert. I did my research because just like you I had my doubts and fears of ordering my dress online and I found out this is a very trusted website so I ordered it and when I got it I was more than pleased with my purchase, the dress looks exactly like this photo. I had to put more invisible pins on the back of the dress so it would be easier to put it on the my day.
My wedding was a the beach and the design of this dress was perfect and It is very comfy. My best advise before ordering a wedding dress is to know your measurements, because I visited so many bridal stores I learned about fabrics and measurements so I knew what I was ordering. so get yourself informed about those details before you buy anything online.
I'm an online shopper and I almost never (I never) leave reviews on the items I buy but this dress I feel I have to. I know how expensive a wedding dress can be and how frustrated could be seeing the dress you want but you are just not sure about spending money on a webpage you don't know. I am telling you based on my experience I am very pleased with my dress.
Thank you JJSHGOUSE!!!!

A game that has been around for over 50 years, yet still attracts players of all ages.
Works best if you put a coat or two of wood paste wax on the playing surface and puck to keep fast.
The wood construction could be more durable in the joints, but for the price, a good value. Older versions had four cross members to support play field, now only two. Wish Carrom had a deluxe version that was of top notch construction. Made in U.S.A. at least.
A great item to have..game is simple, quick and fun. Anyone can play!
My son loves this game and plays it for hours. Great for all ages over 7 yrs.
Purchased this for my grandsons but I think we all (young and old) will be playing Nok Hockey.
It's timeless, easy to play, and so much fun.
This jumbo hockey board is great for all hockey lovers. And if you like playing thumb hockey, this is the board for you. No need for air with this board; hockey puck glides so swiftly without it. I recommend this Nok Hockey game board to all. Exceptionally great board for the money. Board sits perfect on top of a card table at just the right height for anyone of age. You'll love it!
Such a great old-school game that still stayed true!! Hours of fun well worth it!
My two boys ages 11 and 15 love it!!
I am glad we got the standard Large board. Use to play as kids and this kept us busy all summer. We had championships thru the summer and had a ball. Now we will introduce this to our grand kids. Exact size as when a child. Built well. Plays the same. Old game board, just newly built. Great!
I got this for the grand kids & they haven't been around to use it, yet. I played this game when I was a child.
I remember as a kid playing the game with my siblings. I bought the smaller one for my nephew and everyone loved playing so much I bought the bigger one for my house. This game is well constructed and can certainly take a beating. Another good feature is this game is small enough to hide under a bed when not in use. Ours has not been put away since I picked it up from WalMart. Finally, you cannot beat the price. Highly recommended for an active and competitive family.
I bought 2 of these for my grandsons holiday gifts. Each boy loved the game and actually was happy to share with their sisters. Well made wooden product. Good size. Could use a few additional pucks (they did supply 2) and sticks (which are plastic) as I am sure they will break. Overall, very satisfied.
Aside from plastic sticks, it's what I remember from childhood.
Everyone loves to play, and so far holds up to a month of constant playing.
Great toy for all!
Best holiday gift EVER! My kids (ages 8, girl and 11, boy) have LOVED having this! It's old school but still popular with kids AND adults!
Great game to teach angles and patience; look for your shot. Great fun for all ages.
Nok Hockey never disappoints. Fun for the next generation!
Great fun game, good product!

Bidding for concessions
Privatization of infrastructure ventures in sectors such as energy, telecommunication, transport, and water has become popular over the last decade. Often- for good or bad reasons - private firms are given monopoly franchises under some type of long-term concession agreement, for example"Build-Operate-Transfer"schemes. The article surveys the issues arising in designing specifications as well as incentive and risk-sharing parameters comprehensively and consistently both to achieve efficient performance by the concessionaire and to minimize post-award renegotiations. Concession award should as a rule be made competitively, unless special requirements of speed, innovation, or excessive transaction cost argue otherwise. Typically, competitive concession award is made by first price sealed bids. There are strong arguments, however, to consider open auctions more seriously in a number of cases. Auctions may also be re-awarded by way of auction. However, somewhat arbitrary bid preferences may have to be set. Auctioneers for complex concession contracts should operate at arms-length from all interested parties, including politicians. It may be sensible to let independent agencies that regulate the concession scheme run the auction.

By excessive criticisi might be self-defeatii.,." — Aristides Katoppo Indonesian editor, 1994 EDITORIALJust blowing smoke Affidavits may prove tobacco industry executives lied during recent testimony The tobacco industry has a lot of explaining to do. Recent information obtained through the affidavits of former tobacco industry employees contradict tobacco executives' testimony before Congress that nicotine levels in cigarettes have not been manipulated. The affidavits, by former cigarette plant managers and research scientists, has led to a Justice Department perjury investigation. We think the investigation will reveal much more than perjurious testimony. According to the affidavits of two scientists, tobacco giant Philip Morris developed and utilized an "olfactometer," a machine designed to give smokers exact amounts of nicotine and other chemicals, according to an AP story. The machine was part of &n elaborate study that used a computer and a neurologist's input to record just how nicotine interacted with the brain. The obvious uses of the machine include the ability to design the perfect cigarette — the cigarette that best affects and addicts the smoker. In light of this information, is it any wonder tobacco industry executives kept quiet about this practice during recent Congressional hearings? But according to longtime industry critic Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), lawmakers had been "silenced because of payoffs from the tobacco industry," the AP story said. Waxman then rightly stated that a Justice Department investigation would be the best way to clear the smoke (ouch!) that has shrouded the tobacco executives' testimony. Many w ill argue that adults should be able to make decisions about how they will live their lives. If they choose to smoke, that is their nght, and no investigation into tobacco industry practices will change their minds. But recent information obtained from tonner industry employees has finally stripped away any. mask of legitimacy the tobacco interests have tried to maintain. According to these former scientists and a plant manager, they've researched ways to better addict smokers to their products. They haven't just been providing a tobacco product for consumption — they've been ensuring that smokers will be physically dependent on their unhealthy products, regardless of the consequences. If these affidavits prove correct, and tobacco industry executives have been lying about their products, they should be held accountable for their actions and the poor health of millions of American smokers.

I thought about that — tax and spend liberals throwing money at problems — we've all heard that one. Heard it so often, in fact, that a lot of people accept it as fact. But then I started thinking about the respective parties and which one really looks for quick fixes and which one tries to address deeper social issues in a meaningful way. First, the Reagan years. Ronald Reagan, the standard-bearer of the Republican party, if the GOP is the long-term thinking party, then Ronald Reagan was the president who looked to future generations. And in fact, we all owe a debt to Ronald Reagan that we can never fully repay. Literally. When he took office, the federal deficit was $73 billion. By 1986 the country was running a $221 billion annual deficit. But Reagan tried to cut spending, and the Democratic Congress wouldn't let him, right? Not quite. In fact, Congress passed budgets with less spending than Reagan requested, $16 billion less, and Congress passed budgets with smaller deficits than the budgets Reagan sent to Congress six of his eight years. I guess spending $200 billion a year more than you have is not considered a "quick fix" in Republican circles. But I'll tell you what, let me spend $200 billion a year more than I make, and I can fix a few things real fast and maybe event get started on a $50 billion space-based missile defense system. Then came George Bush, who sDent $290 billion a year more than the federal government made by his fourth year in office. Now, Bill Clinton in the first two years of his term, working with a Democratic Congress, cut the deficit to $200 billion. I guess that's what my coworker meant by Democrats always looking for a Roger Croteau quick fix. Cutting $90 billion from the federal deficit in two years, now that's a quick fix. But maybe she was talking about our children. After all, everyone says the children are our future. So maybe she wasn't talking about the staggering debt we're leaving to future generations. Maybe she meant the Democrats are always seeking a quick fix by doing things that will make our tax burden a little easier to bear now but will hurt our children, who, of course, are our future. And she's correct there. During the last Congress the Democrats pushed draconian cuts in a myriad of programs that are investments in our children: Funds for education, school lunches, Aid For Families with Dependent Children, Head Start, Ameri-corps, student loans, job training... Oh wait, it's the Republicans who pushed those cuts, not the Democrats. Well, maybe she was talking about the environment. After all, we've just got one environment and when it's mined, we're history. So a party that shuns the quick fix and looks at the long term would have a commitment to the environment. After all, making business a little more profitable for corporations now by killing environmental regulations may help the economy in the short term (and keep big campaign contributions rolling in to GOPAC), but it will cost future generations billions of dollars to clean up the mess. Talk about short-term thinking. But if she was talking about the environment, then I guess she hadn't heard about GOP efforts to copple the Environmental Protection Agency by slashing its funding by a third and prohibiting it from enforcing many environmental laws. Or the fact that the Repub licans invited lobbyists from major polluters to rewrite the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Then gave those same lobbyists office space just off the House floor, where they whipped out answers to Democratic criticisms of their bills, and handed them to Republican congressmen to read verbatim. So we not only had lobbyists for polluters writing the bills, they were debating them as well. Maybe we could help balance the budget by eliminating the position of congressman and just let the lobbyists cast the votes too. And I guess she hadn't heard about GOP efforts to gut the Endangered Species Act. Or a GOP law that would make it illegal to pass a new environmental regulation without doing a cost-benefit analysis and finding that it is the cheapest way to solve the problem. So even if the study found the regulation would weak well and save lives, it would be killed if it couldn't be confirmed that it was the "cheapest" way to accomplish the goal. (They defeated an amendment that would put the value of a human life at $7.5 million for the purposes of cost-benefit analysis.) Sometimes it's true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Some federal programs DO work. Things like Head Start and environmental protection may be expensive, but they are certainly not "quick fixes." They are investments that future generations will thank us for because they will make America stronger, healthier and more prepared to compete globally. It would be a quick fix to stop investing in areas like education and the environment in order to give some rich campaign contributors a big tax cut. I'll have to get back to my co-worker and find out exactly what she meant about the Democrats "always looking for a quick fix."

I, a 4 percent increase expensive government benefit programs such a By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — After a year of hostile and futile debate with the Republican Congress over how the government should spend its money, President Clinton is trying again, sending lawmakers a $1.64 trillion election-year budget that is sure lo touch off the same arguments.* Clinton's budget for fiscal 1997 would offer Americans a modest package of tax relief for families with young children and education expenses while constraining the growth in government programs enough to product a balanced budget by the year 2002. The president proposed spending $ 1.64 trillion in Today In History By The Associated Press Today is Tuesday, March 19, the 79th day of 1996. There are 287 days left in the year. This is the date the swallows traditionally return to the San Juan Capistrano Mission in California. Today's Highlight in History: In 1920, the U.S. Senate rejected for the second time the Treaty of Versailles by a vote of 49 in favor, 35 against, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed for approval. On this date: In 1687, French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle — the first European to navigate the length of the Mississippi River — was murdered by mutineers in present-day Texas. In 1859, tile opera "Faust" by Charles Gounod premiered in Pans. die fiscal year that begins Oct. I, a 4 percent increase from the estimated $1.57 trillion the government will spend this year, according to budget documents obtained by The Associated Press. The 2,000-page budget was scheduled to be formally transmitted to Congress today. It provided specific details on how the president would allocate government resources, fleshing out a 20-page outline that Clinton submitted on Feb. 5.
