#3 is funny until you do voluntary work as a "computer assistant" in a library, and come across this sweet old lady who isn't brilliant with computers, asks how to undo a spelling error, and when you've told her, says that putting tippex on the screen was her first idea…
(Thank god she had the common sense to ask someone before trying that.)
I'm the "go-to computer guy" at my job and there's lots of little old ladies I'm constantly helping out.
The other day I had my boss (a LOL) come up and ask why she couldn't edit her OneNote tab. I looked at it and tried to edit it and the whole page moved. Turns out she took a screen shot of the page, pasted it in paint, cut out the section with the selection tool, and then pasted it in One Note.
How the fuck do you do that?
How do you know how to take a screen shot, crop it, and then paste it, but still not get that it's just an image and can't be edited?
"I wasn't sure what to do, so I started clicking random buttons to see what would happen" is the most likely explanation.
Me and my friends do this to each other at work. Someone pranked that old lady.
Those are cool.
buttons to see what would happen

Even as technology advances, it's generally accepted that media don't really become extinct -- they evolve. Radio, newspapers, and television have all changed radically over the course of their respective lifetimes, often in response to the threat of becoming obsolete. Now that everyone is carrying around smartphones and netbooks, pens and paper are in a similar predicament.
The Livescribe 2GB Pulse Smartpen brings ink and paper to the digital age as a clever feature-filled gadget. Designed primarily with students in mind, the pen uses an infrared sensor built into the tip and specialized paper to record every note you take on the pen's on-board memory. You can then connect the Livescribe pen to your computer and all the stored notes will be available for organizing, editing, and clarifying.
The Livescribe pen also has a built-in microphone, letting you record lectures as you're taking notes. The noise-cancelling design makes for clearer recordings, and an integrated headphone port along with the packaged 3D-recording headphones lets you make sure that the pen is catching every word of the lecture.
The Livescribe paper has printed virtual "buttons" that provide the pen's interface. Touching them with the tip of the pen begins and ends recording. Pressing the tip to a line of notes you took plays back the segment of the lecture that was recorded as you took that note. This provides effective and intelligent syncing between your notes and recording. You can listen to the audio through the headphones or over the pen's built-in speaker.
The pen's USB cradle lets you connect to a computer to recharge the battery, and transfer your notes and recordings. The cradle is also used for simple, clean ink cartridge replacement.
For those who don't want to be tethered to a particular type of paper, an alternative is the Iogear Digital Scribe USB Digital Pen System for Windows. It comes with a sensor that you clip to the top of any paper, and connects to the computer via extendable USB cable. As you write, your markings appear on your computer screen. You can also switch to mouse mode and use the pen as a pointer device, so you don't have to continually drop the pen to use a mouse.
While it does free you from a particular type of paper, the Digital Scribe is limited in that it has to be actively connected to a computer in order to work. The Mobile Digital Scribe, however, can store notes on the go. A simple press of a button will start a new page of notes in the on-board memory. When you connect to a computer, the notes will be transferred over for you to organize and edit.
Both the Digital Scribe and its mobile counterpart come with MyScript Notes Lite OCR handwriting recognition software. The software will convert handwritten notes made with either device into fully selectable, editable text. The software supports handwriting recognition for twelve languages, including English, Traditional/Simplified Chinese, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Korean, Japanese, and Russian.
The packaged OCR software is meant for those using the handwriting recognition casually. If you're planning on using it more consistently, you can also purchase the Digital Scribe with Full Version OCR Softwarewtqfuurdsbeczbbdazsbrwcwdbrrvfxyffct that includes extended language recognition and more accurate handwriting recognition.
The Livescribe and Digital Scribe products are primarily useful for personal note-taking, but the Canson Infinity PaperShow uses the same idea and applies it to presentations. The USB dongle plugs into a computer and communicates with the pen via Bluetooth, so as you write on the PaperShow paper all of your notes appear instantly on-screen.
PowerPoint presentations and other documents can be printed on PaperShow paper, and as they're being displayed on a plasma or projector screen to a meeting, notes you take on the printouts will be seen by all in real-time. Highlight and underline points you want to stress, or make annotations as people contribute ideas.
Another bonus of digital note taking in meetings is that the notes you take can be stored and sent by email to meeting participants after the presentation is done, giving everyone access to all the latest information.
For all the ways smartphones, PDAs, and netbooks make everyday life more convenient, they will never erase the pen, especially since there are enough options that combine the convenience of digital storage and presentation with the comfort, control, and freedom provided by pen and paper.

Costco Has Better-than-expected Q4, Year
ISSAQUAH, Wash. -- Costco Wholesale Corp. here reported robust sales gains and profits that were better than expected in the fourth quarter and full year ended Sept. 3.
ISSAQUAH, Wash. -- Costco Wholesale Corp. here reported robust sales gains and profits that were better than expected in the fourth quarter and full year ended Sept. 3.
Quarter net sales of $19.50 billion, a 19 percent surge from $16.37 billion during the year-ago period. Comparable warehouse sales during the quarter grew 8 percent.
(Story continues below.)
Net sales for fiscal 2006, the 53 weeks ended Sept. 3, were $58.96 billion, a jump of 14 percent from the $51.88 billion reported for the year-ago period, while comparable warehouse sales increased 8 percent over the year-ago period.
Net income for the fourth quarter came to $355.6 million, or $.75 per diluted share, vs. $354.7 million, or $.73 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2006 net income rose to $1.10 billion, or $2.30 per diluted share, from $1.06 billion or $2.18 per diluted share, last year.
"Several factors enabled earnings results to be better than we anticipated six weeks ago," said c.f.o. Richard Galanti in a statement. "Recognition of income tax benefits in connection with reserves previously established, which more than offset the $14 million income tax charge previously disclosed; stronger-than-planned operating results in the final five-week period of the fiscal quarter; improved gasoline profitability in the final week of the quarter; and lower-than-expected costs related to workers' compensation and other expense accruals."
The club chain also revealed results of an internal review of its practices regarding stock options, and changes it has made to those practices, in the wake of negative publicity. Said c.e.o. Jim Sinegal, "I take full responsibility for the fact that the administration of our stock option program did not live up to the high standards we follow in other aspects of our business. We believe that the steps we have taken should put this issue behind us both from a financial statement and a controls standpoint."
The chain undertook an internal review of its historical stock option grant practices to find out whether the stated grant dates of options were backed up by the company's books and records. A committee of independent directors reviewed all equity grants made during the years 1996 through 2005, and late last month, reported its conclusions and recommendations. While the review didn't uncover any evidence of fraud, falsification of records, concealment of actions or documentation, or intentional deviation from generally accepted accounting principles, the committee did find that in several cases, it couldn't precisely determine the appropriate measurement date for specific grants.
Based on the findings of the review, Costco said it doesn't anticipate any restatement of its previously filed financial statements. Consistent with an SEC bulletin, the company has transferred $116.1 million of net worth shown on its balance sheet from retained earnings to paid-in capital, and increased its deferred tax asset account by $31.5 million. The company's total net income over the 10-year period reflected in the adjustments was about $6 billion. Fiscal 2006 stock option expense has been upped by $2 million (after-tax) following the review. Because of the lack of historical documentation, it isn't possible to determine the exact amount of the adjustments that should be made, so the actual adjustments made are based on assumptions that are more likely to overstate than understate the effects of the "imprecisions" found in the company's option grants. Costco currently believes that the impact on its historical federal income tax filings resulting from the review will be under $2 million.
Costco has additionally decided to establish standing equity grant dates, applicable to its restricted stock units, to option grants, in case the company decides to offer option grants, and to any other form of equity grant, to be set as the fifth trading day after the release of quarterly or annual earnings results, with any exceptions from that policy needing the prior formal approval of the board's compensation committee. Costco has also informed the SEC of the investigation's conclusions and will cooperate fully in the event of an inquiry.
Costco operates 488 warehouses, including 359 in the United States and Puerto Rico, 68 in Canada, 18 in the United Kingdom, five in Korea, four in Taiwan, five in Japan, and 29 in Mexico. The company plans to open an additional 15 to 16 new warehouses before the end of calendar year 2006.
In a conference call yesterday c.f.o. Richard Galante said that of Costco's core merchandising categories, fresh foods was a "bellwether," yielding "low double-digit comps" and showing "particular strength in produce." Additionally, the food and sundries category turned in a "relatively strong" performance, with all of its subcategories up year over year. Galante forecast that the company's key categories, which also include hardlines and softlines "should be okay" in fiscal 2007.
Also during the call, Galante noted that Costco had opened "27 net new locations" during fiscal 2006, encompassing 20 in the United States, three in Canada, two in the United Kingdom, and two in Mexico. Additionally there were three relocations. For FY 2007 "we are planning a higher level of expansion," noted Galante, who forecast 37 units, including two in Mexico, and at least two relocations. In FY 2008 the company's goal is to go "a little higher from [FY 2007,] perhaps five more."
Among the new markets the company is entering in fiscal 2007 are Louisville, Ky. and Columbus, Ohio, the company said.
The company's ramped-up expansion will likely be reflected in its capital expenditures, which amounted to $1.2 billion in fiscal 2006 but projected to be $1.5 billion in fiscal 2007, according to Galante.
The c.f.o. further noted that Costco had gone from offering "hardly any private label" to store brand items comprising "15 [percent] to 16 percent of our sales."

The first and most obvious answer to the question is that I am a Christian because I believe in Christ as the redeemer of the world. I believe in the reality of Christ's redemptive powers because of the ways in which devotion to and trust in Christ has helped me to have more love for others, more forgiveness toward those who have hurt me, more patience in suffering, and more hope for humanity. Most importantly, this faith leads me to repentance of my sins, whenever I become aware of them, and it … [Read more...]

William Wordsworth wrote an important book that during his life time vied for the most popular work he ever published. Nowadays it is much less well known.

Gardens and the Art of Self-Reflection
Inspired by my recent travels in the UK, including several visits to some of its most outstanding gardens, I have been thinking about the role a garden can play in teaching us about ourselves in the world. A garden is a literal walk through a figurative world or perhaps it is a figurative walk through a literal world. We can never be sure. It is real but artificially designed. It is nature yet very much a manifestation of culture and values. There is no escaping culture in a garden, but it is … [Read more...]
Balancing Intellect and Faith
I spoke last week to a group of LDS students at Oxford University about the challenges and opportunities of reconciling faith with intellect.

Life's Insubstantial Pageant
Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is for me a kind of touchstone. It is the play I know and probably love the best (although "King Lear" is a contender) and the one I have seen most often performed. I read it as an undergraduate and ended up writing my honors thesis on it as my first bona-fide research project. At the time, postcolonial theory was on the rise and all the talk about the play was centering on Prospero's abuse of Caliban as an emblem of colonial rule. Language was a tool of control: "You … [Read more...]
Four Lessons from a Suicide
In relation to my previous post about patience in suffering and about my brother's suicide in 1982, about which I write in greater detail in my book, Home Waters, and whom I remembered on the recent anniversary of his death, I wish to reflect on a few things that I feel I have learned in retrospect. These are spiritual lessons, mainly, and they relate to the specific nature of how my brother died, but I hope that they might apply to other circumstances as well. I admit that I haven't suffered any … [Read more...]
Patience in Suffering
NOTE: My book, Home Waters, after which the blog is named, treats the theme of environmental stewardship but not always directly. It also touches on themes of community, human suffering, the humanities (specifically poetry), and theology. While I have devoted most of this blog to themes related to environmental stewardship, I have occasionally touched on these other topics. After completing my first year of blogging, I would like to shift the focus of this blog to these other themes, but I will … [Read more...]

A General Authority Teaches Stewardship
History was made on Friday.

Stewardship and Citizenship at the State Level
Polls in this country indicate a gap between the mainstream voter and elected officials at the state and national levels. I am not sure how different the trends are between the two parties, but there is certainly evidence this has happened on the right.

This is true on other issues as well, including gun control and … [Read more...]
Immigration, Promised Lands, and Homelands
LDS pioneers who arrived in the Great Basin in 1847 were, well, squatters. I don't know what else to call them. The academic term for their development of the Great Basin is "extralegal," that is, outside of the bounds of law. They were stepping into the ungoverned and soon-to-be contested territory of the Spanish colonies, but even if their immigration was not technically illegal, their practice of polygamy certainly was. LDS pioneers were deemed a sexually deviant and threatening bunc … [Read more...]
Pope Francis Links Concerns for the Poor and the Environment
"Please, let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment."At first glance this is a counterintuitive statement. How might concern for the poor and for the environment be linked? Aren't they often mutually exclusive? Aren't humanitarians and tree-huggers loving different things? Can we be both Mother Teresa and St. Francis of Assisi? Pope Francis obviously seems to think so. Of course, this really is not new Chris … [Read more...]

Help the missions with used ink cartridges
BUSINESSES in Waterford have been offered free recycling of empty ink cartridges and mobile phones. Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSCs) have come up with a unique way to raise funds for their charitable work in developing countries. By arrangement with a specialised waste management company they can arrange to have empty ink cartridges collected from business premises throughout the county, and in return the missions will receive a donation for each cartridge collected. The size of donation is dependent on the type of cartridge but it varies from 50c to €2.
The system is very convenient for businesses and totally environmental friendly. Businesses are provided with a special collection bin, and when they have ten cartridges, they ring or email the waste management company who will make the collection anywhere in the region. Where the usage is small, freepost envelopes are provided for posting the empties to the waste management company. Mobile phones can also be deposited for collection, and the donation for these if they have a battery is €3 each.
Many businesses have a problem disposing of empty cartridges that are not acceptable for landfill. Fr. Michael O'Connell at the MSC Promotion Office at Western Road, Cork appealed to businesses in Waterford city and county to avail of this user-friendly service that will eliminate the hassle of disposing of such waste.
He points out that €30 will care for an AIDS orphan in South Africa for one month, whilst €25 will provide a school meal for a poor child in Venezuela.
Waterford businesses interested in the service can contact Matt Moran at 021-4545704 or email him at mscpromotion@ eircom.net and he will make the necessary arrangements with the waste management company that holds a waste collection permit.

Description: This book traces the history of the U Street neighborhood in Washington, D.C., from its Civil War–era origins to its recent gentrification. Home throughout the years to important scholars, entertainers, and political figures, as well as to historically prominent African American institutions, Washington's U Street neighborhood is a critical zone of contact between black and white America. Howard University and the Howard Theater are both located there; Duke Ellington grew up in the neighborhood; and diplomat Ralph Bunche, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and medical researcher Charles Drew were all members of the community.This robustly diverse neighborhood included residents of different races and economic classes when it arose during the Civil War. Jim Crow laws came to the District after the Compromise of 1877, and segregation followed in the mid-1880s. Over the next century, U Street emerged as an energetic center of African American life in Washington. The mid-twentieth-century rise of cultural and educational institutions brought with it the establishment of African American middle and elite classes, ironically fostering biases within the black community. Later, with residential desegregation, many of the elites moved on and U Street entered decades of decline, suffered rioting in 1968, but has seen an initially fitful resurgence that has recently taken hold.Blair A. Ruble, a jazz aficionado, prominent urbanist, and longtime resident of Washington, D.C., is uniquely equipped to undertake the history of this culturally important area. His work is a rare instance of original research told in an engaging and compelling voice.

* Dec WCS trades at $40/bbl below WTI
* Dec synthetic hits $15/bbl below WTI
CALGARY, Alberta, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Canadian heavy crude prices hit nine-month lows, and synthetic prices slumped to an 18-month trough on Friday after Enbridge Inc said it would ration space on additional pipelines in November.
Enbridge, whose pipelines carry the bulk of Canada's crude oil exports to the United States, told shippers on Thursday that it planned further cuts to nominated volumes, in addition to the November apportionment announced last week.
Increased pipeline rationing means more of the oil sands' fast-growing production may get bottlenecked in Canada, prompting deep discounts, as producers struggle to access better-priced markets outside Alberta.
Market sources in Calgary, Canada's oil capital, said the late notice of additional apportionment in November had left many traders and marketers scrambling to adjust.
"It's carnage," said one Calgary crude trader. "Or an opportunity, however you want to look at it. Logistically it's a pain in the arse."
Western Canada Select heavy blend for December delivery last traded at $40 per barrel below the West Texas Intermediate benchmark, according to Shorcan Energy brokers, compared with Thursday's settlement of $37.25 per barrel below WTI.
The price on Friday, the first day of the November trade cycle, was the widest differential since mid-January, when an extended period of heavy discounts on Canadian crude prompted Alberta politicians to coin the term "bitumen bubble."
The differential on light synthetic crude from the oil sands for December delivery widened to $15.00 per barrel below WTI.
That was the deepest discount since March 2012, according to Reuters data, and compares with a settlement price on Thursday of $12.75 per barrel below the benchmark.
Traders said reduced demand from Citgo Petroleum Corp's Lemont, Illinois, refinery was also weighing on heavy crude prices. The 174,500-barrel-per-day refinery, which runs on a diet of almost exclusively heavy Canadian crude, may be operating at little more than half capacity for months after a fire last week, sources say.

Adding blur to your image during post-processing can create the illusion of a shallower depth of field than what occurred in camera. As with any photography technique, this effect can be used subtly or dramatically, depending on your style.
There are several different blur filters in Photoshop, and in this tutorial we will be looking at the Lens Blur filter.
For this type of selection work, I prefer to use the Magnetic Lasso Tool in order to create a selection with irregular edges. We do not want the line between the blurred and sharp portions of the image to be extremely obvious, so avoiding harsh lines is key:
In this image, there is already a fairly shallow depth of field, so I can easily see where I want to enhance the blur. For now, I am using the Magnetic Lasso and selecting only the sharpest portions of my image - so, I am selecting my subject and her immediate surroundings, and everything that is in sharp focus, mainly in the middle of the image:
In order to keep my line between blur and sharp as minimal as possible, I am going to feather the edges of my selection by right clicking, and then selecting Feather>100 pixels:
Next, I want to select the inverse of my current selection: right click>Select Inverse:
Before adding the blur, make sure you have duplicated your Background layer.
Then, select Filter>Blur>Lens Blur in your top tool bar. The Lens Blur dialogue will appear:
Play around with different values of blur to see how the sliders affect the image. Below are the settings that I have used for this image. As you can see, the blur is very intense, but I will show you how to tone it down in the following steps:
Next, add a Layer Mask to the Background Copy layer:
By using a Layer Mask and selecting a soft, black brush, I can now erase portions of blur in my image. For example, around my subject's head:
You may also find it helpful to use varying opacities on your brush when blending in the blurred portions of your image. Starting with a low opacity and building up the brush strokes will help you achieve a more blended line between blurred and sharp:
Here is the before (top) and after (bottom) of the effect we just created:
For a similar effect, you can also use the Faux Tilt Shift action in the Pretty Photoshop Actions PURE Color Worfkflow

U.S. business groups are expressing disappointment over dimmed chances that the United States will ratify a decades-old global maritime pact. At least 34 Republican senators have declared their opposition to the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea, denying supporters the two-thirds Senate vote they would need for ratification.
Maritime defense, shipping, and natural resources extraction are but a few of the endeavors covered by the Law of the Sea Convention, which governs how nations use the world's oceans. Among major industrialized nations, only the United States has yet to join.
The treaty must be confirmed by the Senate for the U.S. to have any say in how it operates. But the Obama administration's hopes for a Senate vote were dashed this week because of growing Republican opposition to the pact.
"This is something that is not going to happen this year," says Sen. James Inhofe."There are some 35 members and many more, I might suggest, that would vote against it, should it come up." Inhofe says the treaty would erode U.S. sovereignty.
"It would, for the first time in the history of this country, authorize the United Nations to have taxing authority over the United States of America," he added.
The Obama administration says the treaty does not allow any U.N. taxes. U.S. business groups support ratification, saying the treaty will expand opportunities for American companies and protect their maritime interests. The Senate opposition is disappointing to Joe Cox, who heads a group representing America's commercial shipping industry.
"It is extremely frustrating, because the way we view the sovereignty issue is the U.S. would actually be expanding its sovereignty capabilities by acceding to the treaty," he said.

ASSP is by far the most accurate spam filter I've ever used and it's free I built my box 6 years ago and it's been a dream. However, I'm thinking about rebuilding it and upgrading so I can play with the Block Reporting feature of the newer versions. I'm hoping that I can use this feature similiar to the quarantine feature that some other spam filters offer.
I'd also like to switch out the email server relay that I use. I currently use MailEnable but would prefer to use something a little cleaner.
Any recommendations?

Earlier this summer, UnitedHealth announced its exit from the Obamacare exchanges. Last month, Aetna did the same—as had Humana before.
This is why.
It all comes down to lemons and lemonade.
Perhaps I should explain.
The Bitter Truth About the Obamacare Lemon
Years ago, when the country was still debating the passage of Obamacare, I gave presentations warning of this very development. After all, it was inevitable. Health care administered as a federal government entitlement necessarily would destroy the private health insurance market. It was a given.
I warned that the private health insurance market necessarily could not compete with a taxpayer-subsidized system wielding the power of the federal government. In such a system, the private health insurers necessarily must compete for business with the federal government—the same federal government that is spending taxpayers' money, that makes the laws, and that issues and enforces all of the regulations that govern the insurance marketplace. In other words, the federal government holds all the cards, shuffles them, deals them, and controls the table. In fact, the federal government owns the table. No private insurers, regardless of wealth and/or influence, can compete with that. They would be fools to try.
And so they do not. As they say, if you can't beat them, join them. The insurance industry has joined them. And that is very bad for you and me.
The endgame, it must be remembered, was never improved or more affordable care. The endgame was universal, single-payer health care. Health care provided by the federal government, through nameless, faceless bureaucrats, to the favored few, for the good of society. Health care designed to keep those in power in power. Socialized medicine.
Mixed Reactions
While some showed great interest in what I had to say, others did not. With every election cycle, folks were lulled by the talking points of vote-seeking politicians promising to "repeal and replace" Obamacare—even as the law dug its tentacles ever deeper into the healthcare delivery system, forever destroying the status quo. In non-election years, the topic was continually pushed to the back burner as "too complicated," "boring," and, again, soon-to-be-solved-when-Obamacare-is-repealed-and-replaced.
Given the very public exits of the nation's major insurers from the Obamacare exchanges, perhaps a few of you out there are finally ready to hear what I have to say. We shall see
And besides, what could be better in the waning days of a long, hot summer than a story about lemonade?
And so I will tell my story again.
A Simple Lesson Worth Repeating
Back then, I used the example of a lemonade stand. Imagine this:
One kid, an industrious sort, convinces his mom to buy lemons and sugar and make lemonade. It is hot out, so he buys bags of ice. And cups. He builds a lemonade stand. He sits down with his parents and figures out that each cup of lemonade costs him 25 cents to make. And so as any good entrepreneur, he sells cups of lemonade for $1 each. Folks buy his lemonade. After all, it is hot out, and they all want to support the young boy's entrepreneurial spirit.
The boy next door, who is new to the neighborhood, sees this and decides to join in on the action. Having seen the first boy's example, he dives in head first, realizing that there is a real market in their neighborhood for lemonade on a hot summer day.
There is a difference between the two boys, however. The second boy's dad owns a sugar factory, and his mom grows lemons for a living. His uncle runs the local convenience store, where he gets cups and ice for free. And he makes do with an old card table from the garage, thereby relieving himself of the expense and trouble of building a stand.
He sets up shop right next door to the other young boy. He, too, sells his cups of lemonade for $1 each—for a time.
At $1 each and 25 cents in overhead and costs, the first boy makes 75 cents' profit on each cup of lemonade sold. At $1 each and zero overhead and costs, the second boy makes $1 profit on each cup of lemonade sold.
Eventually, the second boy tires of sharing his business with the first boy. After all, no one wants two cups of lemonade at once.
And so he drops his price to 75 cents. He gets more business.
Noticing that his business is falling off, the first boy likewise lowers his price to 75 cents. At that price, the first boy makes 50 cents' profit per cup, while the second boy makes 75 cents' profit per cup.
Eventually, the second boy again tires of competing. He lowers his price to 50 cents. Reluctantly, the first boy follows suit. At this price point—50 cents per cup—the first boy makes a profit of 25 cents per cup, while the second boy makes 50 cents' profit per cup.
You know what happens next: The second boy again tires of competing, so he lowers his price to 25 cents per cup. The first boy now has a serious problem: Does he lower his price to 25 cents—and thus make nothing, but keep his customers—or pack up his stand and go inside?
Let's say he chooses the first option. He is now merely breaking even, while the second boy is making a profit of 25 cents per cup. If he chooses the second option, he will lose his customers. He decides to keep at it and break even while he considers his next step.
The second boy now wants to see the first boy gone. So he lowers his price to 10 cents per cup.
Now the first boy has a serious problem. He must choose: Should he sell his lemonade, which is already made and chilled, at a loss, or should he pack up and go inside? If he chooses the former, he will lose money. In fact, the more lemonade he sells, the more money he loses. If he chooses the latter, he will be stuck with pitchers of lemonade in which he has already invested, and all of his customers will go to the second boy. He will lose their business, perhaps forever.
Bitter Marketplace Lessons
My point is this: The second boy necessarily controls the situation. Is he smarter or more industrious than the first boy? No—quite the opposite. All he did was copy his neighbor. Is he more willing to work? No. The difference is that he has no overhead. He gets his sugar, lemons, cups, ice, and stand for free. The first boy, in contrast, struggles under the realities of any free market, including overhead, expenses, and the necessity of making a profit.
There is also a second dynamic at work. As both boys lower the price of their lemonade, both can get away with selling smaller cups. After all, since their customers are paying less, they expect less. At only 10 cents per cup, they actually don't expect much at all.
The first boy realizes this, but refuses to reduce the size of his lemonade cups. After all, he promised everyone a large cup. He promised to quench their thirst. And he is selling lemonade to his neighbors, his parents' friends. He wants to please them. He promised his parents he would do just that. His parents believe in him, and trust him to do the right thing. To make sure, they will ask their neighbors about his service. He doesn't want to let them down.
In contrast, the second boy just moved into the neighborhood. He doesn't know the people buying his lemonade. Since his parents both work—Mom in the lemon fields and Dad at the sugar plant—no one is watching what he does. And so with each price reduction, the second boy uses smaller and smaller cups. Eventually, he is not selling enough lemonade to quench anyone's thirst.
A Simple Lesson in Supply, Demand, and the Power of the Profit Motive
Even so, realizing that they are only paying 10 cents per cup, the thirsty public gladly buys more cups of lemonade. After all, who would expect to have their thirst quenched for a dime? They order 2, 3, 4 cups of lemonade before even tasting it.
This makes the second boy very happy. It also makes him a lot of money.
The more dime cups of lemonade the public buys, the more money the second boy makes—and the more money the first boy loses. And the more lemonade their neighbors buy. It is the reality of the marketplace.
Eventually, the second boy will not be able to make enough 10-cent lemonade. He will demand more lemons, sugar, and ice, as his customers clamor for more lemonade. If his parents don't give it to him, he will pitch a fit, and his customers will feel cheated. His parents can thank themselves, because they created this situation by giving their son everything for free. He can also blame himself for lulling his customers into believing that a tiny cup of lemonade for 10 cents is a good deal.
With time, the first boy will be forced from the market. Eventually, he will sadly pack up his stand and go inside.
At that point, the second boy realizes something: To his delight, he has now conditioned his customers to be grateful for very little lemonade. And they are now asking for more, aware that its supply is suddenly limited. Finally, he is the only kid in the neighborhood selling lemonade.
And so he raises his prices. His cups are first 25 cents, then 50 cents, then $1, the $5 each. And yet he keeps the size of the cups small. He is now making money hand over fist.
Barriers to Market Re-entry
You may think: At that point, the first boy will come back out and start selling lemonade, this time for $5 per cup.
Think again. First, the boy promised his neighbors a large cup of lemonade for $1 per cup—not a small cup for $5, which is where the market now is. Second, he has learned his lesson: The second boy, with no overhead or expense, holds all the cards. As soon as the first boy invests in more lemonade and returns to his stand, the second boy will again lower his prices until the first boy is again run out of the market with pitchers of lemonade on hand that he has paid for and made but cannot sell.
And so the first boy will stay out of the market. He simply can't compete. He can't take the risk of investing, only to be forced out of the market a second time by the same market dynamics that are out of his control.
But the young man is industrious, and not a quitter. He will move on to another source of income not requiring the lemons, sugar, ice, and cups that the second boy gets for free. He will move on to a project where he can fairly compete—like mowing his neighbors' lawns. After all, the second boy's family doesn't own a lawnmower shop, so unlike the lemonade stand, the two boys can compete fairly mowing lawns. Neither boy can afford to drop his price below the costs of fuel and lawnmower maintenance. Both boys have very real overhead and a need for pricing that takes that into consideration.
The Moral of the Story
The analogy should by now be obvious.
The first boy represents a free market healthcare system wherein there is real overhead and concrete costs (sugar, lemons, cups, ice, and a stand), individual oaths to do the right thing (promises to sell a certain size glass of lemonade and thereby quench everyone's thirst), and a systemic commitment to quality with built-in oversight through feedback (parents talking with their neighbors).
The second boy represents a taxpayer- or government-subsidized service. Since no one is paying for sugar, lemons, cups, ice, and a stand, price goes down, initially, as all competitors are driven from the market. Once a market monopoly is established, prices skyrocket as both quality and service plummet.
Wait. This is an important point: Someone actually is paying, just not the boy selling the lemonade. The ones paying are his mom, dad, uncle, and the employees of all of their companies who are able to sell less sugar, lemons, cups, and ice because he is using them in his lemonade business. There is, however, a complete separation between those who pay for the system (the boys' family members and their companies), those who provide the service (the second boy), and those who consume the product (the neighbors buying the lemonade). That is key. It is also like any taxpayer-funded system of benefits, where all facets of the relationship are separate. As a result, there is no accountability or incentive to produce and sell an exceptional product.
Once all of the competition is eliminated, price skyrockets. As competitors try to enter the market, the subsidized system can simply manipulate any number of factors to drive them back out. After all, they hold all the cards, because they are subsidized by taxpayer dollars—so-called "free money," as it were. They, personally, have no overhead. They also have no incentive to keep you healthy and happy.
The Bottom Line
We had the healthcare system we now say we want. Did it have seeds? Perhaps a little pulp? Was it sometimes bitter? Yes, yes, and yes.
Did it quench our thirst? Yes, more often than not.
Did it need fixing? Most certainly.
Was it better than this $5, 2-ounce cup of lemonade that is Obamacare? Most definitely.
Let's face it: We screwed up healthcare.
Now, the question is: How do we fix this?
More on that later.
Oh, and welcome to Obamacare. I'm sure you're going to hate it.
Those are my thoughts. Please let me know yours.

Creston Children's Dental Clinic in Portland serves low-income and uninsured children in Portland Public Schools through a free dental clinic in Creston Elementary School in Southeast Portland. The need for such services is overwhelming. Dentists at Creston deal with some of the worst cases of childhood dental decay in the region, often treating low-income and under-served populations.
One of the worst experiences for a mother is witnessing her child in pain. In this touching testimonial, a mother whose child has visited Creston for multiple dental procedures at a very young age explains why she supports water fluoridation. This kind of story is all too common in our area. Portland can reduce our rate of dental decay, particularly benefiting low-income and under-served communities, by up to 25% through the proven process of community water fluoridation.

The New York Jets announced today that they have submitted the names of the following five players for the veteran expansion pool created to stock the newest NFL team, the Houston Texans: DT-DE Shane Burton, CB Marcus Coleman, CB Aaron Glenn, FS Chris Hayes and T Ryan Young. The veteran allocation draft will be held on Feb. 18.
Jets general manager Terry Bradway released the following statement: "We knew when we first assembled this team last spring that we would be forced to make difficult personnel decisions following the 2001 season from a salary cap standpoint and from a coaching philosophy situation.
"The decision to place these five players on the list not only addresses immediate concerns, but potentially will give us the opportunity to build and shape the team in our vision.
"The process could provide a unique opportunity to reshape the team while keeping it competitive.
"Because of the unknowns relative to the next three and a half weeks, we will not comment on the hypothetical situations that could occur."

This half-day course is for people working in childcare and early years, who want to maximise incomes for working families and help them to avoid common benefit problems. It concentrates on who can get help with the costs of childcare through the social security system, and how this interacts with other sources of support, including the new tax-free childcare scheme. No previous knowledge of benefits is required.
This half-day course looks at changes to benefits for people starting a family and families with young children, both in and out of work.
Maximising income in the early years is vital for children's health, education and development. This course aims to give frontline workers a basic awareness to help you to identify problems and refer on where appropriate.
The course covers:
This course gives you skills to help resolve problems faced by vulnerable people claiming benefits. Taking a practical approach, it gives an overview of basic benefits and looks at rules intended to protect vulnerable groups including those affected by domestic abuse, mental health issues or at risk of homelessness. It will equip you to prevent a problem becoming a crisis. Those with limited or no knowledge of the benefit system will gain most from this course.
The course includes:
This one-day course rounds up all the outstanding issues you may encounter with tax credits, including in the transition to universal credit. Tax credits will be with us for some time yet, and continue to provide vital support to the majority of families with children and to low income workers. The course is suitable for people wanting a refresher on the rules and an update on recent changes.
The roll out of universal credit (UC) full service is underway. Many more people claim UC in the full service, including families, those with health conditions and those in work. People need to make and maintain their claims online.
This course draws on experience emerging from areas where UC full service is operating. You will learn who is affected, how best to support them, particularly those who are vulnerable or in difficult circumstances, and also have a chance to refresh your knowledge of UC entitlement and calculations.

It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Water Pump for your vehicle. You purchased your Sidekick because its a variety of features and options and economical pricing agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? When your Suzuki Sidekick rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who values long-lasting quality in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Suzuki vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck.
Your Suzuki Sidekick has a liquid-cooled engine, and if there were a heart in that motor it would be the water pump. It turns along with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your Suzuki Sidekick water pump continuously recirculates a mixture of water and coolant through the engine; keeping it operating at a manageable, pre-determined temperature. If it fails, then coolant will boil and your engine will be ruined.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a broken Water Pump spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best repair parts. Procuring new Suzuki parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Sidekick parts on the internet. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Suzuki Sidekick Water Pump for your 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989 model.

In a rotating environment (frame of reference), an object moves faster if it is farther from the axis of rotation (it moves in a bigger circle). If this object moves towards or away from the axis it will seem to be pushed to the side due to the difference in speed between its original position and its new position.

You went through Pine Ridge? You came from the south? How is White Clay these days?
Eye opening. And my college age daughter was with me. We went out to wounded knee, then back through town, and headed on into the Black Hills and on to western Wyoming.
We had a great discussion about the fact that Pine Ridge is a pertri dish for what America would look like if the US govt ran everything with almost no local government.
There were propaganda signs everywhere, and every large structure was a government building of one kind or another.
We discussed why the absence of unlimited private property is so destructive. Every American should pass through there. If the federal footprint is so large there, and the result so poor, there are obvious questions to be asked. A racist answer is the go-to for some, but this evasion of truth only serves to protect the federal overlords and their local tribal vassals.

The VEGA is designed specifically for women delivering a flattering and highly functional 3D shape. Fitting like a second skin, it guarantees superb comfort and support. Drawing inspiration from climbing harnesses, we've created new, ergonomically shaped leg straps to ensure fantastic freedom to move.
The world's first fully moulded protection pad ensures a lightweight, less water absorbing and comfortable cushioning of the spreaderbar.
New neoprene pockets cover the buckles with a protective rubber patch, allowing slick and easy storage of excess webbing.
This handle allows to grab the kiter to help him or protect him in dangerous situations. Thanks to the flexible construction a smooth storage close to the harness is possible (when not in use).
An internal neoprene cushioning provides a soft and comfortable support to the riders back.
The Bar_Keeper_Belt ensures a secure, low position of the Spreader Bar – even in overpowered condiions – thanks to the clever strap construction that connects it to the bungee belt legstraps.
Save and easy to use release system for the spreader bar.
Flexible, neoprene padded leg straps to ensure a perfect fit of the seat harness without heavy constriction of the legs.
A new climbing inspired, ergonomic neoprene con- nection between the leg straps and seat of harness, offers full freedom of movement.
A confirmation email is on the way.

South Africa have gone back on their decision to cancel their tour of Pakistan.
The United Cricket Board initially pulled out of the trip due to security fears but they have now agreed a revised itinerary with their Pakistani counterparts.
The tour will now go ahead in October after Pakistan Cricket Board agreed to remove danger hot-spots Karachi and Peshawar from the tour schedule.
A UCB statement said: "Having regard to the removal of Karachi and Peshawar from the proposed revised schedule, the abbreviation of the duration of the tour, and having heard the views of the South African Police Services, the Board has resolved in principle to proceed with a revised, shortened tour of Pakistan."
The first one-day international was scheduled for this Friday in Karachi but it seems likely it will be postponed until after the Test series which could begin on schedule on Oct 9 in Lahore.
