Posted on 10/28/2013 3:42:03 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey
Enroll Alaska, an organization that was specifically created to aid Alaskans in enrolling for Obamacare, has thrown in the towel, at least for the time being.
As the Peninsula Clarion reports, Enroll Alaska has been able to enroll a grand total of only three people since the launch of the health-insurance marketplaces on October 1. It has now given up entirely on that goal, at least until Healthcare.gov, the federal health-care exchange, gives Alaskans accurate figures on the subsidies theyre eligible for.

Blue laser imaging provides excellent endoscopic images of upper gastrointestinal lesionsHiroyuki Osawa | Hironori Yamamoto | Yoshimasa Miura | Wataru Sasao | Yuji Ino | Hiroyuki Satoh | Kiichi Satoh | Kentaro Sugano
Volume 1, Issues 3-4, January 2014, Pages 607-610
Background/aim: Image enhanced endoscopy including narrow band imaging, flexible spectral imaging color enhancement and i-scan is useful for detailed examination of upper gastrointestinal lesions. We aimed to clarify the usefulness of blue laser imaging (BLI) method, a new endoscopic system, to image upper gastrointestinal lesions. Procedure: We observed upper gastrointestinal lesions including early gastric cancer and early esophageal cancer using white light images and subsequently BLI bright images and BLI images. Results: In gastric cancer, irregular microvessels on the tumor surface are clearly identified for both differentiated and undifferentiated lesions with high magnification, similar to those using narrow band imaging. In addition, irregular surface patterns are seen in differentiated lesions by enhanced white circles, which form white zones on the tumor surface. Finding these circles allow us to rule out undifferentiated lesions. Another advantage is to enhance gastric intestinal metaplasia as green-colored mucosa in both distant and close-up views, leading to higher color contrast with brown gastric cancers. This leads to early detection of gastric cancers and shows a demarcation line between the cancer and areas of metaplasia. In squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, BLI produces a higher color contrast between brown lesions with intraepithelial papillary capillary loops and the surrounding area without magnification. The extent of Barrett[U+05F3]s esophagus is easily shown as a high color contrast with the brown gastric mucosa. Conclusions: Blue laser imaging produces excellent images useful for detection and detailed examination of upper gastrointestinal lesions. © 2014 The Authors.
The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound in M-Staging of Gastrointestinal and Pancreaticobiliary CancerC. Jenssen | C. Siebert | U. Gottschalk
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 105-109
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an inevitable tool for locoregional staging of upper gastrointestinal, rectal, and pancreaticobiliary cancer. Transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) and computed tomography (CT) are the most important methods used for the detection of liver metastases and other distant metastases. However, despite its limited operation range, EUS and EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) may add value to TUS and CT by detecting and proving 'occult' liver metastases and malignant ascites as well as nonregional lymph node metastases, adrenal metastases, and pleural carcinosis in approximately 5-20% of cases of pancreaticobiliary and upper gastrointestinal tract cancer.

The Los Angeles Classification of Gastroesophageal Reflux DiseaseS. S. Sami | K. Ragunath
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 103-104
Endoscopic assessment of the esophagus for the presence or absence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as well as the assessment of its severity is crucial to formulating decisions about the patient's management and prognosis. Therefore, a validated tool is required to ensure agreement among different endoscopists. The Los Angeles classification system of GERD is by far the most widely used system to describe the endoscopic appearance of reflux esophagitis and grade its severity. 1 This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
Endoscopic Management of Foreign Bodies in the Gastrointestinal TractS. J. Tang
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 35-38
The majority of foreign body (FB) ingestions occur in children. In adults, accidental FB ingestion tends to be food (meat) bolus. Non-food FB ingestions occur more in denture users, incarcerated individuals, and patients with psychiatric disorders or alcohol intoxication. The majority of the ingested FBs will pass spontaneously. Once through the esophagus, most FBs including sharp objects pass uneventfully. Sharp or pointed FBs, animal or fish bones, and magnets increase the risk of perforation. Emergent endoscopy is indicated in: (1) esophageal obstruction when the patient is unable to swallow secretions and (2) disk batteries and sharp-pointed FBs in the esophagus. In general, esophageal FBs and food impactions without complete obstruction should be removed within 24 h (urgent endoscopy). This video manuscript describes general principles, devices, and techniques in endoscopic management of ingested FBs. Several clinical scenarios are presented.

Flexible Endoscopic Zenker's Diverticulotomy Using Needle KnifeS. J. Tang
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 75-78
Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is the posterior pulsion diverticulum below the esophageal introitus through or above the cricopharyngeal muscle, and it is associated with a prominent cricopharyngeal bar. ZD can cause dysphagia, regurgitation of undigested food, cough, and aspiration of food particles. During endoscopy, ZD often creates difficulty in esophageal intubation. Flexible endoscopic treatment for ZD focuses on releasing the cricopharyngeal spasm by performing diverticulotomy on the septum. The aim of any endoscopic intervention is to reduce the septum, to relieve the cricopharyngeal spasm, and to increase the Zenker's esophageal diameter. The video of this article describes preprocedural evaluation, endoscopic techniques in diverticulotomy using needle knife, postprocedural care, and complications.

Detection and treatment of dysplasia in ulcerative colitisM. Pellise | M. Lopez-Ceron | E. Sanabria
Volume 1, Issue 2, October 2013, Pages 313-315
Patients with extensive, long-standing colonic inflammatory bowel disease have a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) than the general population. The prevalence of CRC in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is approximately 3.7% on average, being 2% at 10 years and 19% at 30 years from diagnosis. Furthermore, CRC is the third leading cause of death in patients with UC. Based on these data, periodic follow-up colonoscopies in all patients with long-standing UC and colonic Crohn's disease are recommended. However, detection of colitis-associated dysplasia and cancer during follow-up endoscopy is complex, as these lesions are multifocal and often sit on normal-appearing mucosa. Surveillance guidelines recommend that in addition to targeted biopsies from suspicious lesions, 2-4 random biopsies should be taken every 10 cm of colon. Despite this laborious routine, colitis-associated lesions are often missed by routine white-light endoscopy with random biopsies. In recent years, several studies have demonstrated that chromoendoscopy (CE) is more profitable than conventional endoscopy for the detection of foci of dysplasia in patients with long-standing UC. In fact, recent consensus guidelines have endorsed the use of CE as standard in this subset of patients. Furthermore, recent evidence demonstrates that CE-directed biopsies have a higher diagnostic yield than random biopsies. From these studies it appears that CE-targeted biopsy is the most profitable strategy, and the role of random biopsy sampling is seriously questioned. However, both approaches have drawbacks: few endoscopists perform the required 30-40 biopsies in routine practice because this method is time consuming and expensive, and gastroenterologists have been reluctant to take up CE, possibly due to concerns regarding procedure time and lack of experience. Nevertheless, CE is an inexpensive and technically attainable method that only needs intention and dedication from the endoscopist. This video shows how to perform CE and how to interpret the different lesions detected during CE surveillance in a patient with long-standing UC.

Endosonography of the Normal Mediastinum: The Experts ApproachM. Sharma | R. S. Chittapuram | P. Rai
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 56-59
Endosonography of the mediastinum is an important modality of imaging for chest diseases. Both radial and linear endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can give similar diagnostic information. Linear EUS is also useful in fine-needle aspiration from masses and lymph nodes. The authors present the techniques of imaging of different structures in normal mediastinum by linear EUS.

Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy, Equipment and Technique: A Step-by-Step ExplanationS. N. Stavropoulos | S. Iqbal | R. Modayil | D. Dejesus
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 96-100
Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) represents a natural orifice endoscopic surgical technique for 'scarless' Heller myotomy for the treatment of achalasia. It utilizes a submucosal tunnel approach that offsets the mucosal and muscle incisions and thus allows secure closure with a few clips on the mucosotomy site. The first POEM procedure was performed in Japan by Haruhiro Inoue in 2008. Since then POEM has steadily grown to several hundred procedures worldwide at this point. Published data are limited but demonstrate high efficacy and low complication rates at expert centers pioneering this procedure. POEM techniques are reviewed, along with tips and tricks, in the submitted video. It should be emphasized that POEM is a challenging endoscopic surgical procedure that requires advanced endoscopic resectional skills, particularly endoscopic submucosal dissection skills. There is unanimity among current operators that POEM should be performed under institutional review board approval and after appropriate laboratory training and proctoring of the initial human POEM case(s). There is very strong consensus in favor of rigorous external accreditation and monitoring of outcomes to ensure competence and safety.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (pull method) and Jejunal extension tube placementShou jiang Tang | Ruonan Wu
Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 40-45
Background: Enteral feeding should be considered for patients with an intact and functional gastrointestinal tract. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement is indicated in patients requiring medium to long term enteral feeding ( > 30 days) and with impaired swallowing. Patients and methods: In this video manuscript, we demonstrate the complete PEG procedure (pull method) in a 65 year old patient and placement of PEG jejunal extension tube in another patient who needed post-pyloric enteral feeding. Conclusions: PEG-pull method is the most widely used PEG technique. Appropriate patient selection, timing of the procedure, informed consent, antibiotic prophylaxis, adequate endoscopic air insufflation during PEG site selection, and optimal PEG site localization are the keys in this procedure. © 2014 The Authors.
Endoscopic Characterization of Eosinophilic EsophagitisH. Neumann | K. Mönkemüller
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 23-24
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disorder affecting both children and adults. Patients often suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease-like symptoms (such as heartburn and regurgitation), intermittent dysphagia, and food impaction. Endoscopic appearance is broad and includes, among others, ring formation of the mucosa ('cat or feline esophagus'), longitudinal mucosal furrows, friability, and whitish speckles. Confocal imaging now allows for a more detailed analysis of the esophageal tissue, thereby enabling in vivo diagnosis of the disease. Endoscopic aspects of EoE using standard white-light endoscopy and confocal laser endomicroscopy are demonstrated in the given video.

Gastric Cancer Staging by Endoscopic Ultrasound - Contrast Enhancement and Real-Time ElastographyM. Filip | S. Iordache | A. Sâftoiu
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 164-166
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is the most efficient diagnostic method for local staging of gastric cancer, being able to differentiate between early and advanced primary gastric tumors with high performance rates. Although the accuracy of EUS for node (N) staging is lower than for the tumor (T) stage, ultrasound elastography could be used as a complementary method for the characterization and differentiation of benign and malignant lymph nodes in real time. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration is indicated in gastric cancer if the positive result has a special impact on the clinical management of the patient.

Endoscopic and angiographic diagnosis and management of a gastric arteriovenous malformationJeffrey B. McCrary | Shou jiang Tang | Ruonan Wu | Sajneet Khangura | Christina Marks | Bhavika Dave
Volume 2, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 15-19
Introduction: Gastric arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Methods and results: We describe a case of gastric AVM which was diagnosed endoscopically and successfully managed by endoclip application and percutaneous transarterial coil embolization. Conclusions: We propose that these two minimally invasive technologies can be used to manage AVM in the gut: endoscopic therapy to control luminal bleeding and interventional radiology to define the full extent of the malformation and to decrease arterial pressure and flow to the point that hemostasis can occur, without creating symptomatic ischemia. © 2014 The Authors.
Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy of Esophageal LeakageG. Loske | T. Schorsch
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 51-53
A large number of endoscopic procedures have been replacing full-scale surgical intervention in the management of esophageal defects. Since 2006, the authors have developed endoscopic techniques of intracavitary and intraluminal placement of vacuum drainage systems in their institution, and so far have treated 29 cases of esophageal defects of various origins with an overall success rate of 90% (26 out of 29). With the adaptation of these procedures sponge drainages can be placed at every height of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby contributing a minimally invasive, endoscopic alternative to the management of intestinal defects. Despite promising reports in recent literature, the method-to-date is an individual treatment. 1 This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
Endotherapy of Gastric Fundal Varices: Intravariceal Injection of N-Butyl-2-CyanoacrylateT. L. Ang | S. Seewald | N. Soehendra
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 157-159
The tissue glue N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate has been successfully used in many countries for the treatment of gastric fundal variceal bleeding. However, significant rebleeding rates and serious complications including embolism have been reported due to differences in injection techniques. The authors demonstrate a standardized injection technique and regimen that ensures the success and safety of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injection for the treatment of gastric fundal varices.

Sea-Blue Histiocytosis in the Small BowelA. V. Safatle-Ribeiro | E. R. Baba
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 274-275
Sea-blue histiocytosis accompanies a variety of conditions including genetic and acquired lipid metabolic or ceroid storage disorders (such as type B Niemann-Pick disease), myelodysplastic disease, thalassemia, and secondary infections. A case of sea-blue histiocytosis is demonstrated with an involvement of the entire small bowel, probably caused by kalaazar. In the video, double-balloon endoscopy demonstrates the involvement of the small bowel. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
Anal carcinomaP. Glover | S. J. Tang | F. Bhaijee | C. J. Lah
Volume 1, Issue 2, October 2013, Pages 296-298
Epidemiological data suggests that the incidence of anal carcinoma is increasing and a significant percentage of cases each year result in death. There are numerous clinical features that should raise suspicion for anal cancer. Furthermore, benign anal conditions warrant complete workup, including flexible endoscopy and anoscopy, to rule out malignancy. In this video presentation, various patient presentations are described that would raise suspicion of anal carcinoma. Also, various clinical, endoscopic, and pathological features of carcinoma of the anal canal and perianal skin as well as benign anal conditions and treatment options are shown.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal AchalasiaH. Inoue | H. Ikeda | A. Yoshida | M. Onimaru | H. Sato | H. Minami | S. Kudo
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 94-95
Recent advances in endoscopic technology allow us to perform totally endoscopic myotomy for esophageal achalasia. A submucosal tunnel is first created at the anterior wall of the esophagus down to the gastric cardia. Endoscopic myotomy is carried out in the submucosal tunnel and then completed at the end of the submucosal tunnel. After confirmation of smooth passage of the endoscope through esophago-gastric junction, the mucosal incision is closed using regular hemostatic clips.In 280 consecutive cases of esophageal achalasia peroral endoscopic myotomy was used, except in one case, which received laparoscopic Heller myotomy. Clinical results were excellent, with no significant complication. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
Gastroesophageal Intussusception and Multivisceral Failure after Per Oral Spiral EnteroscopyI. Chaze | R. Gincul | V. Lepilliez | T. Ponchon | J. C. Saurin
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 230-232
Spiral enteroscopy (SE) is generally considered as a safe procedure and few major complications have been described. The authors report a case of irreducible gastroesophageal intussusception during per oral SE, secondary hepatic failure, and acute pancreatitis in a context of pneumoperitoneum in a 29-year-old woman after jejunal hamartoma resection. The large preexisting hiatal hernia might have put the patient at risk for gastric intussusception. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
Argon plasma coagulation for adenomatosis of the biliary bifurcationJ. Pohl
Volume 1, Issue 2, October 2013, Pages 427-428
Adenomatosis of the biliary duct is a rare finding with an extremely high risk of degenerating into a malignancy. The author describes the case of an 82-year-old man with massive jaundice owing to an extensive villous adenomatosis at the biliary bifurcation, extending into the left and right hepatic ducts. A direct transnasal cholangioscopy for diagnosis and palliative argon plasma coagulation of the lesion was performed. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for the Differentiation of Normal from Neoplastic Barrett's MucosaN. Parikh | D. Perl | E. Zhou | S. Gonzalez | S. Anandasabapathy
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 13-15
Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows for in vivo microscopic scanning of the Barrett's segment and might improve the detection of neoplastic lesions. Here the basic principles of this innovative technique are shown and how to differentiate between normal gastric mucosa, nonneoplastic Barrett's mucosa, and Barrett's neoplasia is demonstrated.

Tumours in the small bowelN. Kurniawan | C. Rüther | I. Steinbrück | P. Baltes | F. Hagenmüller | M. Keuchel
Volume 1, Issues 3-4, January 2014, Pages 632-635
Small bowel tumours are rare and originate from a wide variety of benign and malignant entities. Adenocarcinomas are the most frequent primary malignant small bowel tumours. Submucosal tumours like gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) or neuroendocrine tumours (NET) may show a central umbilication, pathologic vessels, bridging folds or an ulceration of the overlying mucosa. These signs help to differentiate them from harmless bulges caused by impression from outside, e.g. from other intestinal loops. Sarcomas of the small bowel are rare neoplasias with mesenchymal origin, sometimes presenting as protruding masses. Benign tumours like lipoma, fibrolipoma, fibroma, myoma, and heterotopias typically present as submucosal masses. They cannot be differentiated endoscopically from those with malignant potential as GIST or NET. Neuroendocrine carcinomas may present with diffuse infiltration, which may resemble other malignant tumours. The endoscopic appearance of small bowel lymphomas has a great variation from mass lesions to diffuse infiltrative changes. Melanoma metastases are the most frequent metastases to the small bowel. They may be hard to distinguish from other tumours when originating from an amelanotic melanoma. © 2014 The Authors.
Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of Large Duodenal Adenomas (Video)Mary M. Flynn | Andrew Y. Wang
Volume 2, Issues 3-4, January 2014, Pages 84-86
© 2015 The Authors. Background and aims: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a well-established method for the removal of neoplastic polyps throughout the GI tract. EMR typically involves insufflation of the lumen using air or CO < inf > 2 < /inf > , followed by submucosal lifting of a polyp to minimize the risk of deep tissue injury and perforation, followed by hot-snare polypectomy. Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) is a new technique that uses water to enable lesion visualization in a lumen that is not distended by air or CO < inf > 2 < /inf > , followed by piecemeal hot-snare resection of large mucosally-based neoplasms. UEMR does not require submucosal injection to create a fluid cushion. Very few published examples of UMER in the duodenum exist. This video case series describes the use of UEMR for the resection of several large duodenal adenomas. Procedure: Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection was utilized for the removal of several large duodenal adenomas. Results: Three duodenal lesions ranging from 1.8. cm to 5. cm were successfully resected by UEMR. The mean time for resection was 18. min. There were no adverse events. Conclusions: UEMR is an efficacious technique for the resection of large mucosally-based neoplasms of the duodenum.
Capsule Endoscopy for Celiac DiseaseJ. G. Albert
Volume 1, Issue 1, November 2013, Pages 217-218
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy that is characterized by intraepithelial lymphocytosis, crypt hyperplasia, and villous atrophy. Prevalence is high and has been estimated to range between 0.5% and 1.5%. Capsule endoscopy (CE) has a sensitivity and specificity of approximately 90%. CD is an important differential diagnosis for diagnostic workup for anemia, malabsorption, or diarrhea, and must be recognized reliably by the investigator. Moreover, CE is the preferred method to screen for complications in CD, such as enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, ulcerative jejunitis, and small bowel adenocarcinoma.

Grading the quality of bowel preparationStijn J B Van Weyenberg
Volume 1, Issues 3-4, January 2014, Pages 615-618
In colonoscopy, even a complete examination has little diagnostic accuracy when the endoscopic view of the mucosa was impaired by residual stool. Therefore, an assessment of the visibility of the mucosa is important, in order to be able to judge the reliability of positive, but even more importantly, negative findings during colonoscopy.Insufficient visualization can result in lesions, especially small or flat ones, being missed. Poor bowel preparation may also result in difficult progression, an increased risk of complications, prolonged procedure duration and an increase in the amount of sedatives and analgetics required. Poor bowel preparation is also a frequent cause for incomplete procedures.The optimal grading scale uses objective terminology, is validated, and informs both on segmental as overall bowel preparation quality. The Boston bowel preparation scale fulfils all these criteria, making it the most uses bowel preparation scale in colorectal cancer screening programs. © 2014 The Authors.
Impact of intraductal ultrasound (Miniprobe-Endoscopic Ultrasound) in diagnosing and staging of pancreatobiliary tumorsD. Domagk | P. Lenz | J. Menzel
Volume 1, Issue 2, October 2013, Pages 491-493
Despite established imaging technologies such as conventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, the assessment of bile duct strictures and pancreatobiliary tumors remains crucial. In the authors' department, intraductal ultrasound (IDUS) applying high-frequency EUS miniprobes is an integral part of the diagnostic program in diseases of the pancreatobiliary tract. In the following, the key points of IDUS are presented, explaining the handling of the EUS miniprobes and presenting several interesting cases to see the advantages of this methodology. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.

John McCain Makes His Choice: To Eat the Cake, But He Wants to Have It, Too
In the Atlantic James Fallows has an excellent column on McCain's smokescreen to hide his actions behind a tapestry of words:
The effort to repeal Barack Obama's health-care bill is not over, and neither presumably is the public career of John McCain. But each crossed an important threshold yesterday, and Senator McCain gave us a clearer idea of who he is and what he stands for.
The repeal effort isn't over, because debate and further voting is now under way to determine whether the bill will pass and, more basically, to define what it would actually do. McCain will have more votes to cast, on this measure and others, and it's possible that in the end he will turn against this bill because of its provisions (whatever they turn out to be) or because of the rushed and secretive process that led to it. Just this afternoon, McCain voted No on a "straight repeal" bill that would eliminate Obamacare without any replacement.
If in the end John McCain makes as decisive a stand against this proposal as he did in favor of it last night, then the historical verdict on this stage of his career will be more complex than it would be right now. As of the moment the story would be that McCain, soon after his diagnosis and treatment for aggressive brain cancer, responded to this memento mori by flying back to Washington to help take medical coverage away from other people.
There's still time. But yesterday was important, for the bill and for McCain.
* * *
Not even U.S. senators are often in a position where just one of them, strictly on his or her own, can directly affect the welfare of tens of millions of people. John McCain was in that position yesterday. By definition, in a vote this close, every vote is the "decisive" one. But McCain built drama by holding his vote until the very end. He wanted to take center stage. And he did so—by voting Yes, to let this bill proceed.
He voted to keep alive a bill opposed not by some but by all major medical-professional and health-related groups. A bill that an organization of nuns called "the most harmful legislation to American families in our lifetimes." A bill with absolutely no across-the-aisle Democratic amendments, as compared with well over 100 Republican amendments in the original Obamacare plan, and with virtually no open hearings or debates. A bill whose support level in opinion polls is roughly half that of Donald Trump himself. A bill—well, the litany is familiar, all leading up to the point that it's a bill that John McCain could have chosen to stop yesterday, and didn't.
If he had stayed home in Arizona, the bill would have died. If he had voted No, at least this effort at repeal would have ended. Of course, perhaps Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could have squeezed either Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski, the two Republican defectors, to switch their votes, so he could still eke out a 50-50 tie, allowing Mike Pence to make it 51-50. Perhaps if McConnell had failed yesterday, he would have kept looking for some other way to get an anti-Obamacare "win," despite the distortion the crusade is causing in everything else the Senate has to do. Perhaps McCain thought he was saving his influence within the GOP for later—later stages of deliberation on this bill, later encounters with Trump. Perhaps, perhaps. For certain, McCain made a choice yesterday, and he did something no one looking back on this moment will admire.
(Whenever I hear about politicians saving influence "for later," I cannot help thinking of the unfortunate Ricky Ray Rector, the man whose name is a shorthand for the most heartless thing Bill Clinton did in his drive for the presidency. Rector was a murderer who tried to blow his own brains out when about to be captured by police. He survived but with profound mental disabilities. An Arkansas jury nonetheless convicted him and sentenced him to death; the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case. Young Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, then in a very tight contest in the Democratic primaries of 1992, and all too aware that only four years earlier Michael Dukakis had been badly hurt by a "soft on crime," Willie Horton race-baiting campaign, approved the execution and went to Little Rock to be in the state when it occurred. When Rector was offered a last meal before being put to death, he told the jailers that he wanted to save his dessert "for later." When politicians talk about "saving" their influence, this for later is what I hear.)
* * *
John McCain himself went out of his way to highlight why his choice was so sad, and so hypocritical. As David Graham noted yesterday, McCain immediately followed his vote with one of his trademark speeches on the need to take the high road in politics—the need to stop doing things in a rushed and secretive way, to stop simply looking for partisan wins. Elevated words, of the kind McCain is accustomed to being complimented on. But the words were entirely at odds with his actions of just minutes before—when he had the chance to stop a rushed and secretive push toward a partisan win, and he whiffed. Later that same evening, just hours after he somberly declared that "I will not vote for this bill as it is today," McCain went right ahead and voted for that bill as it was yesterday, one of only 43 Republicans to do so.
And he didn't need to do this, any of it. . .
McCain is a Republican. That is significant, and tells us a lot.
A clear-eyed view of the Republicans in Congress
Jennifer Rubin concludes a column today with this pointed remark:
In sum, the consolation for a meltdown in legislative order, rationality and responsible government is that we now know just how incapable the GOP is of governing. Years of antagonism toward government have made them cavalier about the harm they can do to ordinary citizens in their quest to avoid blame. What a shabby group they are. Let's hope they don't do real damage before they lose their majority.
DOJ: No Sessions recusal paper trail
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have a press release:
The Department of Justice has no unreleased documents or notes on Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia investigation, according to information made public by a FOIA lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
According to the DOJ, the only two records ever created regarding his recusal were a press release and a short email to top DOJ officials that was made public in June. Documents obtained by CREW in the lawsuit also show that Sessions announced his recusal about an hour before he was scheduled to meet with his staff to discuss the recusal.
"For such a major decision, it's a little odd that there's virtually no paper trail," CREW Executive Director Noah Bookbinder said. "This suggests the whole process was haphazardly done, and it provides the Department with very little guidance on the scope of the recusal."
Assuming the DOJ is correct that there were no records beyond a press release and a short email, that means that no written analysis or detailed explanation accompanied Sessions decision, suggesting he may have made the decision alone in the immediate aftermath of reports of his meeting with Russian officials.
"Whatever the explanation, the story behind the Sessions recusal is noteworthy," said Bookbinder, a veteran of the Justice Department. "This is not how the Department of Justice normally does business."
How Fake Cops Got $1.2 Million in Real Weapons
Eli Hager reports for the Marshall Project:
When you think of a federal sting operation involving weaponry and military gear, the Government Accountability Office doesn't immediately jump to mind. The office is tasked with auditing other federal agencies to root out fraud and abuse, usually by asking questions and poring over paperwork.
This year, the agency went a little more cowboy. The GAO created a fictitious law enforcement agency — complete with a fake website and a bogus address that traced back to an empty lot — and applied for military-grade equipment from the Department of Defense.
And in less than a week, they got it.
A GAO report issued this week says the agency's faux cops were able to obtain $1.2 million worth of military gear, including night-vision goggles, simulated M-16A2 rifles and pipe bomb equipment from the Defense Department's 1033 program, which supplies state and local law enforcement with excess materiel. The rifles and bomb equipment could have been made functional with widely available parts, the report said.
"They never did any verification, like visit our 'location,' and most of it was by email," said Zina Merritt, director of the GAO's defense capabilities and management team, which ran the operation. "It was like getting stuff off of eBay."
In its response to the sting, the Defense Department promised to tighten its verification procedures, including trying to visit the location of law enforcement agencies that apply and making sure agents picking up supplies have valid identification, the GAO report said. The department also promised to do an internal fraud assessment by April 2018.
A Defense Department spokesman declined to comment further.
The sting operation has its roots in the 2014 fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. At the time, many were surprised to see law enforcement respond to protests with armored trucks, sniper rifles, tear-gas bombs and other weapons of war.
Reporting by The Marshall Project and others found that much of the equipment came from the obscure 1033 program, which dates back to the Clinton era. Any equipment the U.S. military was not using — including Humvees, grenades, scuba-diving gear and even marching-band instruments — was available to local cops who could demonstrate a need.
The program has transferred more than $6 billion worth of supplies to more than 8,600 law enforcement agencies since 1991.
After Ferguson, then-President Barack Obama issued an executive order prohibiting the military from giving away some equipment and deeming other equipment "controlled," establishing strict oversight and training requirements for law enforcement agencies that wanted it. The order also required a Defense Department and Justice Department working group to ensure oversight.
But since President Donald Trump took office, the group has not met, according to the Constitution Project, a bipartisan thinktank that had been participating in the meetings. Trump has said that he will revoke Obama's executive order, although he has not yet.
Congress ordered the GAO to look into the program last year. A survey of local law enforcement did not turn up any instances of outright abuse at the state level but did find one illegitimate agency that had applied as a federal entity and was approved for equipment, Merritt said.
That's when the agency launched the sting. Contrary to its public image, GAO has snagged other agencies with undercover work in the past, including an investigation of the Affordable Care Act in which the agency submitted fictitious applications and was approved for subsidized healthcare coverage.
In this case, the GAO created the fake law enforcement agency — whose name the agency would not reveal — and claimed it did high-level security and counterterrorism work. Once approved, the agency easily obtained the items from a Defense Department warehouse of unused military goods.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, which lists rescinding Obama's executive order one of its top priorities for the Trump administration, said the possibility of fraud does not indict the whole program. . .
Oklahoma's plague of earthquakes, thanks in part to Scott Pruitt
Who is now dedicating himself to destroying the EPA. Take a look at the 1-minute video. The Oklahoma government stoutly denied that fracking had anything at all to do with earthquakes in Oklahoma, until it got so bad that even they thought some action should be taken. The video is shocking.
Medicaid Expansion Had a Huge Impact on the Finances of the Poor
Kevin Drum has an interesting post with this chart:
He notes:
In states that didn't expand Medicaid, nothing much happened. In states that didexpand Medicaid, medical debt fell nearly 40 percent by the end of 2015. As a check, they also examined overall debt, and found that it varied by only a small amount between expansion and non-expansion states.
Note that this is a 40 percent reduction in total medical debt. Since Medicaid is available only to the poor, it's a good bet that it's reduced the medical debt of the poor by considerably more than 40 percent.

Public choice theory is crucial to understanding the criminal justice system
In the Washington Post Radley Balko has an interesting column (as usual):
Nancy MacLean's new book, "Democracy in Chains," is causing a lot of controversy. In the book, MacLean, a well-regarded and award-winning historian at Duke University, takes on the late libertarian economist and Nobel laureate James Buchanan, one of the originators of public choice theory. The book has been enthusiastically praised by outlets such as NPR, New Republic, Slate and the Atlantic.
It has also been roundly criticized by libertarians (though not just libertarians) for a number of reasons, including MacLean's misleading(often deceptive) use of quotations, her conspiratorial tone and tendency to draw links that don't exist, her fundamental misunderstanding of her subject matter, her sourcing that at times directly contradicts her assertions, and her tendency to assign sinister motivations to her source material.
I'll leave the in-depth criticism of the book itself to others. Instead, I want to delve into public choice theory itself, explain the influence it has had on my own work and explain why it's so important to the issues we cover here at The Watch. Before I do, I'll go ahead and note that I identify as a libertarian. I'll also disclose that prior to my work here at The Washington Post and previously at the Huffington Post, I worked for Reason magazine and the Cato Institute, two organizations commonly affiliated with the Koch family, one of the targets of MacLean's book. I also know and have worked with some of the people MacLean targets in her book.
It was during my time at Cato that I was first exposed to the public choice work of Buchanan and Gordon Tullock. Generally speaking, public choice theory is the use of economic tools to analyze political behavior. One of the most important findings from the field is that when people work for the government, they don't always act in the public interest. In fact, they are more likely to act in their own interest.
This is a pretty intuitive observation. And yet somehow it remains controversial. Government employees are human beings, after all. We have no problem believing that people in the private sector tend to act in their own interests. Public choice merely posits that people don't shed that tendency when they get a government paycheck. It doesn't suggest that government employees are evil or lazy or inherently corrupt. It's more that there's nothing transformative about working for the government that makes someone more or less selfless than someone in the private sector. On some level, this clashes with the high regard we attach to public service. But it doesn't need to. We can still admire, say, someone who gives up a large salary in the private sector to take a job in public service, while recognizing that not every decision that person makes thereafter will always be in the best interests of the public. It doesn't need to be a nefarious thing. It may take the form of cognitive bias instead of some conscious decision. If you think your public service job is critical, for example, you might read data in a way that a way that emphasizes the importance of what you're doing. Or you might be tempted to exaggerate the social problem your agency exists to fight if doing so means not having to lay someone off or take a cut in pay.
The substantive lesson from all of this is that we should design government institutions and align incentives for public official and government employees in ways that acknowledge and compensate for how people actually are (sometimes self-interested) instead of how we wish them to be (always selfless and public-minded).
In the area of criminal justice and civil liberties, the ramifications of this are pretty profound. For example, in a number of areas of constitutional law, the Supreme Court has fashioned a "good faith" exception when police or prosecutors violate someone's constitutional rights. Under certain conditions, a good faith exemption can excuse an otherwise illegal search. When police or prosecutors lose evidence in a criminal case that may have been exculpatory, the Supreme Court has ruled that defendants are out of luck unless they can show that law enforcement officials acted in bad faith — which in most cases is next to impossible. In other words, the courts assume the cops or prosecutors were acting in good faith unless proven otherwise.
These decisions then essentially become road maps for unscrupulous police or prosecutors. Body cameras are a good example. Because the courts have generally assumed good faith when body-camera footage goes missing, or when cameras themselves malfunction, we've seen an small epidemic of lost footage, accidentally deleted footage and damaged cameras.
One of my favorite examples came in a drug dog case the Supreme Court considered a few years ago. Drug dogs have notoriously high rates of false alerts. The fear is that many of these dogs are not alerting when they detect the presence of drugs, but that they're picking up on their handlers' body language and alerting when the handler suspects someone may be hiding drugs. There's good evidence for this. There's also at least anecdotal evidence that some handlers can prod a dog to alert on command. Because a drug dog alert is probable cause for a search, under either scenario, these dogs can provide legal justification for a search based on little more than a police officer's hunch. That's exactly the sort of thing the Fourth Amendment is supposed to protect against. During oral arguments in the case, Justice Antonin Scalia seemed perplexed as to why a police officer could possibly want a drug dog that would falsely alert. He speculated that a dog that frequently alerted falsely would be a waste of time and resources. But of course there are lots of reasons why a police officer would want such a dog. By the time a K-9 unit is inspecting a car, the police already strongly suspect illegal activity. The drug dog is a shortcut to a search — a search that might find drugs but also weapons or evidence of some other crime. Between arrest and seizure quotas (which, if not explicit, are often implied) and asset forfeiture, there are plenty of incentives for a cop to want a tool that gives them carte blanche to search anyone they find suspicious. And a properly trained (or improperly trained, depending on your point of view) drug dog does exactly that.
You can see public choice theory in action all over the criminal justice system. It's helpful for understanding why police unions don't always represent the best interests of police, much less the interests of the community. It explains why it's advantageous for police officials toexaggerate the threat of crime in some circumstances and underreport it in others. It explains why a policy such as civil asset forfeiture provides an incentive for police to wait until drugs are already on the streets to make busts, instead of busting drug dealers while they're holding a large supply. (A car or stash house full of drugs provides no financial reward for the investigating police agency. A car or stash house full of cash is a potential windfall.) It explains how federal grants can incentivize police departments to expend resources rounding up hundreds of low-level drug offenders instead investigating crimes such as murder or robbery or rape, which typically don't come with a federal bounty.
As you might imagine, Buchanan's ideas have traditionally received a warm reception on the political right. Except when it comes to criminal justice. Oddly, the same Republican politicians who tout the trappings of public choice when railing against the Environmental Protection Agency or the Securities and Exchange Commission demand deference to law enforcement officials, even though they're subject to the same analysis. They can't see how a police officer or prosecutor might be tempted to bend the rules, take shortcuts or take actions that serve their own interests rather than the public's. Perversely, this is the one area of public policy where Buchanan's ideas are most important, because the stakes are so high.
Public choice also explains a lot of the odd choices of public interest groups outside of government. . .
Later (and there's quite a bit more):
. . . Look at the elections of judges. Electing judges is obviously a more democratic policy than appointing them. But it's far from clear that judicial elections make the courts fairer or more just. In fact, the evidence suggests otherwise. A 2015 study by the Brennan Center for Justice found that judges facing reelection or retention hand out harsher sentences as Election Day approaches. Similar studies in Washington and Pennsylvania have found similar results. The studies further found that judges who were retiring — i.e. no longer influenced by the democratic process — were less likely to impose punishment harsher than the sentencing guidelines. The Brennan study also found that in states where judges are elected, the more supportive the public is of capital punishment, the more likely judges are to hand down death sentences when they're up for reelection. A 2016 studyfound that sentences of black (but not white) defendants increased by 2.4 percentage points in the final six months of a prosecutor's election cycle. A 2015 Reuters study found that appellate court judges who were elected rejected the appeals of death row prisoners at twice the rate of judges who are appointed. In Alabama, judges can impose the death sentence even if a jury recommends otherwise. And not surprisingly, judges are more likely to do so during election years.
If you value democracy above all else, you ought to be celebrating these findings. This is the democratic process doing exactly what it's supposed to do: These elected officials are responding to the will of the people. But I'll go out on a limb and assume that someone of Nancy MacLean's politics would not celebrate these findings. And if I'm right, that's because there are some principles that she values more than democracy — justice, fairness, mercy, equality before the law.
The United States leads the developed world in incarceration. We also have one of the world's most politicized criminal justice systems. It seems unlikely that these two things are coincidental. We're the only country in the world where prosecutors are elected, and we're one of only a few where judges are. Incidentally, 95 percent of America's prosecutors are white, and nearly 80 percent are white men. These are the people who disproportionately send black people to prison. This, too, is democracy in action.
A 2007 study of prosecutors in MacLean's own state of North Carolina found that in election years, criminal defendants were significantly more likely to be convicted and less likely to have their charges dismissed. Interestingly, this effect was more pronounced for drug and property crime than for violent crime. Which means that in cases where prosecutors had room for discretion, they were more punitive in election years. Moreover, the effect was even more pronounced among district attorneys facing competition for reelection. In other words, more democracy meant more punitiveness. In fact, a 2012 study of district attorney campaigns found that when incumbent prosecutors do have election opponents, the campaign rhetoric is rarely about policy or priorities, and it tends instead to be more about personality, and aberrant, high-profile cases. . .

Biodynamic Farming | Help Support Organic Foods
Did you know at one point in time Organic Food was simply referred to as food... Yes… that's it, food. You know what they say... If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, in the age of genetic engineering, it might not be a duck... Ha!
It's amazing how rapidly things have changed over the past couple of decades. Today we have exotic, factory produced, genetically modified foods that fill our super-sized grocery stores… Sighhh! Please don't get me wrong, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a soft spot for Doritos and Ben & Jerry's. However the truth is, they both make me feel terrible after I finish eating them.
Good food is not suppose to make you feel lethargic or depressed, it should be reinvigorating... No wonder why we're blogging about Biodynamic farming and its reemergence! Biodynamic farming may seem like a new technology, however the idea was developed in the early 1920's by an Austrian Doctor, Rudolf Steiner.
"Biodynamic Farming is essentially a spiritual, ethical, ecological approach to agriculture, food production, and nutrition."
It's basically one big life circle, relying upon the idea that everything on earth exists harmoniously when properly supported and nourished…. Seems legit to us! (Side Note - Ever see the documentary Home? If not, check it out…)
Okay, so in order to become a certified Biodynamic Farm, the farm must already be certified organic. A dual edged sword in some opinions. The additional certifications do indeed contain a level of bureaucracy, however during these times when many of us are unable to distinguish the difference between "food like products" and "real food," I'm all for it! Will it cost more, maybe slightly... Is it worth it, of course!
Here is a great example of a Biodynamic Pyramid. This should explain some of the fundamental principles behind this methodology. *Pyramid designed by Benziger Winery (Yes we do drink Organic Wine, wink)!
The 7 Building Blocks of Biodynamic Farming and Gardening (Starting from the Top of the pyramid):
- Spirit - Through awareness, practice, and intuition we connect with the spirit of the land.
- Working with The Rhythms of Nature - All plants evolve with an intimate connection to their environment, including the movement of the sun, the seasons and lunar cycles.
- Biodynamic Preparations - The eight preparations regulate and stimulate the life processes in plants and grapevines, connecting them to a site.
- Closed Nutrient System - All organic waste is recycled through composting, encouraging the growth of indigenous yeasts and bacteria that ultimately contribute to farm individuality.
- Self-Regulating Systems - A healthy and diverse habitat of plants, animals and micro-organisms leads to a self-regulating system of predator/prey relationships, honoring the idea of reciprocal maintenance.
- Biodiversity and Estate Farming - Cultivation of a polyculture in and around the vineyards is just as important as the grapevines. This diversity is reflected in the individuality of the wines.
- Personal Connection to the Land (Observation and Anticipation) - A deep personal relationship with the land heightens our ability to anticipate and avoid problems in the vineyard while encouraging conditions that promote quality products.
Amazing! What a great set of principles for a company to operate under! Remember, when you use your hard-earned money to purchase products, you are sending a message directly to the companies you buy from. You are essentially telling them that you desire their products!
Therefore when you purchase food labelled "Organic" you are helping drive the demand for "real food," while simultaneously decreasing the demand for "food like products."
With this power, it is our responsibility as consumers to support companies with respectable corporate governance, relationship management, and environmental policies. We hope you learned a little about Biodynamic Farming after reading this article! Please check out www.biodynamics.com for more information!
Until next time, stay pure my friends!

I wish I could blame my lack of posting on writer's block. It's quite the opposite, I spend most of my sleepless nights gripping my pen and letting my soul bleed on the pages of my journal, as if it can cleanse my emotional palette . Callouses, a pained wrist, and sore fingers later, only the remnants of guilt seem to bore through in my moments of self-reflection.
No one wants to be around a manic person. No one wants to hear about all the cool, fake important shit you read in the New Yorker, the new song that sampled Prince melody, you love so much, or how aesthetically pleasing Ricki Hall is in a fine tailored suit.
I still need that reformation that I'm cool and my thoughts are appreciated. Days pass and I still miss my old thing.
I'm scared of who I am becoming. I'm nothing more than a stranger housing the body of a girl she used to know. A mess in and over herself at least that girl could control her emotional upheavals, who used creative outlets to mask all the voids in her life. Always emotionally overwhelmed, my breakup was the climatic apex for my downfall. Everything has become foreign and awkward. I finally reached a leveling plateau with learning to cope with the detachment from my former self. It peaked when I spoke to him for his birthday and our conversation flowed as organically as it would the Nile. I felt at home again, giggles over awkward details, intimate secrecies shared only between our synapses, reminders of why I fell in love and why he still holds permanent residence in my heart.
Later, crushed by the fact that once those messages end, our relationship is still over.
Being through all I've been through, letting myself love was hard enough but nothing like the construction of trying to convince myself to let it go.
So I need time to figure out who this new girl is. To find a new normal amongst the chaos of emotional instability. I want to do all the old things again sans wanting to share my benevolence with a former lover but 4 months later, I still haven't gotten there yet. I shun my friends because I don't want to be lectured. I write because it's all I can will myself to do with all these bottled emotions.
All I want to do is scream and beat sense into my heart, like, "bitch, learn your lesson and move on". Escape this emotional abyss. But I can't because writing is all that seems to bring me peace these days, even if it means analyzing the one thing that got me here.
The words that pour out into my journal are things that I want to remain private because love has turned to shame. Memories thither through my cursive, I miss you's linger for pages – none of which I can say.
Quite frankly, I'm a mess.
Currently there's no greater truth than the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, "all life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from, one phrase–"I love you."
What's the new normal for the girl who found her beginning and ending
in such a simple phrase?

When I first learnt via the Twittersphere that something known as Rogoff & Reinhart had been called into question over its methodological inconsistencies, it seemed to be just another instance of quibbling economists – unique only in that instead of occupying the corridors and libraries of universities, it was permeating my Twitter stream.
Monthly Archives: May 2013
ESSA – The joy of debating economics … Seriously!
In an affirmation of the natural order of things, on Thursday night out at Monash University, the University of Melbourne team (composed of myself, 1st-year student Emad, and the incomparable Prof. Jeff Borland) took out a closely fought debate to determine whether the Eurozone has been a success or a failure. Across both teams there was much spirited debate over economic theory, the optimal design for policymaking interlaced with a great deal of jibing back and forth between two of the country's most elite universities.

Carnival Victory Cruise Review to Caribbean - Eastern
Sail Date: October 29, 2006
Ship: Carnival Victory
Cabin Type: Inside
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Reviewed: 7 years ago
Review SummaryArriving in San Juan after 5:00 PM makes no sense. It's too dark to enjoy the city. It's too late for excursions. There's little to do except shop. The recommended dining place had pretty good service, but the food was mediocre.
St. Maarten and St. Thomas were all right, but I doubt that I'd bother going back.

Pros: the food

Scarcely a hundred years ago, Africa was still the Dark Continent to Europeans--its geography and peoples largely unknown. Gradually, through the combination of individual endeavor and technological breakthrough, a handful of explorers began the seemingly impossible mission of discovery. In this highly praised book, the author tells the epic story of these larger-than-life men. Here is the reality behind the myth and legend of Livingstone, Stanley, Burton, Speke, Baker, and many others.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
An eye-opening safari into the history and psychobiography of African exploration. McLynn (Burton, 1991, etc.) begins with a brightly colored sketch of the European canvassing of Africa, from Mungo Park's quest in the late 1700's for the source of the Niger to the successful penetration nearly a century later of the last blank spots on the map by German, French, and English adventurers. In between came a host of pith-helmeted derring-doers, most notably Burton, Livingstone, Speke, and Stanley. As McLynn sees it, all were driven by demons, from Stanley's sadomasochism to Burton's hatred of blacks to Livingstone's misanthropy. Upon this historical framework, the author builds his most unusual contribution: a thematic, transhistorical analysis of African exploration, covering in depth such topics as transport, the ivory trade, and the influence of imperialism. The impression grows of a nightmare continent of disease, warfare, and slavery into which Europeans brought their own cruelties and manias, at great peril and for little profit. McLynn provides fascinating, little-found information about everything from favored apparel (umbrellas, dark glasses) to porterage styles (because of the tsetse fly, domesticated animals couldn't survive in the African interior, so the human foot became the main means of exploration) to the eating habits of the black mamba. A close scrutiny of a few months in Stanley's 1874-75 transverse of Tanzania provides a case study of typical obstacles faced by the explorers. The blemish on this peach of a book comes at the end, when McLynn attempts--as did Fawn M. Brodie and others before him--to psychoanalyze the great explorers: Talk of mother fixation and other libidinous undercurrents sounds sadly reductionist in the face of these explorers' extraordinary feats. Except for those Freudian shadows, much bright light on the Dark Continent. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.From Publishers Weekly:

Although we live in the Mohawk river valley, we aren't very far from the Helderberg Escarpment in Albany. It's a nice motorcycle ride. Even in the autumn. Winding along the cliffs is a trail called Indian Ladder. The state set aside a big chunk of land here for a state park, the John Boyd Thacher Park. It's very beautiful.
The view here is about a thousand feet above sea level; the valley floor is about 750 feet down. The boys liked the sunshine after the chilly ride up!

by SAP
April 1, 2008
Identity management is a critical piece of an IT optimization strategy. Who accesses systems and data — and how IT manages that process — is one of the greatest challenges facing IT. And it's a challenge that will only grow more complex in the future as access is granted to a widening range of stakeholders, including C-level executives, suppliers, customers, and partners. Identity management is about shutting the back door so that, at the press of a button, you can guarantee no one will damage your systems or access your confidential data.
For identity management, enterprise customers want a comprehensive solution that can change along with their business, regardless of whether they are launching a new business strategy or embarking on a corporate restructure. Customers want a solution that they can modify easily, without requiring IT to go back to the drawing board every time the business evolves.
The SAP NetWeaver Identity Management component supports this holistic approach with a solution that operates at the core of your SAP software, nestled within the heart of the SAP NetWeaver platform. For more information about SAP NetWeaver Identity Management's compatibility, please see the sidebar "SAP NetWeaver Identity Management Compatibility Chart" below.
Today's CIO faces an increasingly complex landscape, and that complexity directly affects security. Four key factors make identity management a challenge:
Security, however, is not just the CIO's problem: CEOs and CFOs depend on it to keep the business compliant with regulations. At the same time, they need to optimize business processes. Here are some of the challenges currently facing organizations:
Accordingly, customers have been clamoring for an end-to-end solution that can address both business and technical risks. In addition, more and more companies have complex business processes that cross multiple applications. For example, one part of a process may originate in a supply chain application, another in a customer relationship management application. All of these activities require consistent and secure access to the software services that support them.
How well you model your business — and your business processes — is contingent on how effectively your identity management solution supports these processes while ensuring that they are deployed securely.
In 2007, SAP acquired MaXware, which has provided identity management software for over a decade. SAP has integrated MaXware's tools into SAP NetWeaver to create a full-service identity management solution.
Today, most SAP customers rely on Central User Administrator (CUA) software for identity management. But in a world of heterogeneous systems, IT needs to extend this functionality to portals and Java-based solutions. SAP NetWeaver Identity Management offers just such a harmonized approach for a heterogeneous IT environment.
Increasingly, IT needs to implement and enforce the hire-to-retire business process through approval steps that are controlled by workflows and with automated role assignments. And SAP NetWeaver Identity Management supports these activities.
SAP NetWeaver Identity Management leverages all the components and infrastructure provided in SAP NetWeaver. It uses your workflows, your database interfaces, and other key services provided by the technology platform. Among the most recognized benefits of SAP NetWeaver Identity Management is its ability to do the following.
SAP NetWeaver Identity Management provides customers with the tools and flexibility they need to incorporate security management seamlessly into their business process platform, matching their employee regulations with IT security controls. Rather than constraining growth and business opportunity, the software can rapidly adapt to your changing needs.
The benefits extend far beyond the executive office. The intuitive, straightforward tools built into the central identity center component reduce complexity for IT administrators. Help desk technicians won't have to spend their time resetting passwords because those tasks are the user's responsibility.
SAP NetWeaver Identity Management relieves IT of considerable security risk with its ability to synchronize identity information across systems, supply a virtual view of information across those distributed sources, and integrate identity management processes and information within your core HR system. As an SAP customer recently put it, with SAP NetWeaver Identity Management, "I can go home at five o'clock."
The SAP NetWeaver Identity Management component works with the following:

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Repair & Technical Discussion' started by Waldershrek, Sep 18, 2010.
What's the advantages/disadvantages of each?
Fuel economy!
Anything beside that?
Engine wear too! Hey, are we the only tractor nuts here tonight?:dazed::dazed::lmao:
Well I meant more in term of performance of the implement itself.
Lol, yeah I think we might be!
No, no gain at all. Just reduces the engine RPMs and consequently ....wear, and also fuel consumption.
Well why the hell would anybody want 1000 then!?
Well, if you were running something that didn't require that much power, you could throttle down the engine to where you were running 540 PTO RPMs and reduce the noise and wear and all. You could still run the engine full tilt for the 1000 RPMs but that would be pretty much tarded and cause the impliments gear box to heat up. The advantage is purely fuel consumption and wear reduction. Like using 2nd gear or 5th gear in essence, when the need arised. You still have the 540 RPM option as well.
Well I wasn't aware you could order new equipment with 540, I thought it was pretty much all 1000 on the new stuff until today when I was tooling around on the New Holland website.
Yup! Some of them I guess have even a third speed.
I think economy has very little to do with it. On high power demanding pto equipment the torque on the drive is almost halved by running at 1000 compared to 540 . On most tractors there is little difference in engine revs between 540 and 1000 it is just geared differently.
Welcome to the forum FarmerF! On all the John Deeres touting the higher speed PTO option, they chiefly cite fuel economy as the main advantage. I'll scan some info tonight.
Some implements are made to run at 1000 rpms. I don't know why. My Branson has 2 speeds on the pto. If you run at the normal 540 speed the engine runs about 2600 rpms to get 540 on the pto and puts out a little over 36 hp. If you use the other pto speed you get 540 on the pto with the engine turning about 1600 rpm and about 20 hp on the pto. saves a lot of fuel when doing light work. Most of the stuff thats made to run at 1000rpms is realy big and probably uses the extra speed to build up enertia in the drive line.
Yeah, I only have a 540 RPM but like when I run my post hole auger, I run the tractor at 1200 RPMs and it sure does the trick just fine without pounding the engine. Not sure if it saves fuel or not though!
It is more to do with power (Torque) transmission
From the ISO & SAE stadards:-
These figures are from memory and are approximate
540rpm 6 spline 1 3/8" shaft should be used upto amaximum of 70HP
1000rpm 21spline 1 3/8" shaft should be used from 65 To about 180HP
1000rpm 20 spline 1 3/4 shaft should be used over 180HP.
The reason 6 -21 & 20 splines are used is to stop operator error connecting to the wrong speed, It is the manufacturers / suppliers legal responsibility to supply the correct combination (s) for the intended application.
Most larger equipment is 1000RPM these days. Smaller equipment still uses the 540, though some is available with both. The thing with 1000 RPM is that if the unit is designed to run slower, you gain more torque due to the gear reduction in the drive line. Or, in the case of a forage chopper, you lose less torque because you don't have to gear the drive line up for sufficient speed on the cutter head. In a 540 RPM pull-type chopper, the gearbox is about 1:2 ratio, with the output of the box spinning faster than the input (540 in 1000+ out). This allows the cutter head to spin fast enough to do a good job of chopping the feed. In a 1000 RPM chopper, the box is usually very close to 1:1. Therefore, you aren't losing torque by having to speed up the output. With today's high capacity machinery, you need all the power you can get. You are better off stepping the speed down to gain torque than trying to speed something up and losing it.
The advantage is that you can transmit 85% more hp through the same driveline by using the higher speed.
