STX Desktop: Networking
Local and Remote Networking
Introduction to Networking
Networking allows your data to be shared by multiple computers running STX at the same time. Each computer can be used to simultaneously add, change and delete information and these changes will appear on all of the computers. Networking significantly increases the volume of data that can be entered and viewed at any one time and allows STX to operate efficiently in even the largest companies. Networking also allows an owner or manager to work with STX from an office or remote location.
The term Server refers to both the computer that holds data files as well as the software installed on this computer that shares this data. The term Client refers to the software that lets you access the data on a server. Client software may be installed on the server computer and/or on additional workstation computers. A server that only runs server software, and not client software, is called a Dedicated Server. This is the most efficient server configuration and should be considered for larger networks. Please note a SERVER does not need to be running OSX SERVER software, and we highly recommend it not.
STX Networking
STX is a true client-server application that takes full advantage of the power and security built into the client-server architecture. It will work equally well on one computer or large networks. We recommend that you have a dedicated server if you have 5 or more client computers running STX at the same time. Note: There can be only one server with STX data on your network. When you purchased STX, you were licensed for a certain number of seats, computers to be running STX at the same time, as shown in STX: Registration. If you wish to purchase additional seats, please contact STX Software at 800.766.4778.
Connecting Your Computers
Your computers can be connected using Ethernet cables that plug into an Ethernet port on each computer, or by wireless connections using radio waves.
Ethernet cables can run directly between 2 computers, using a special crossover cable, if you only have a 2-computer network. Otherwise, each Ethernet patch cable will connect to a switch or router. A switch works fine if you are only connecting computers in your local network. A router is needed if you also want to connect your network to other networks, for remote login, or the Internet. The STX server computer must be hardwired with the Ethernet cable.
Wireless networking requires that each computer have a wireless card and, in the case of more than 2 computers, you will also need a wireless access point which functions much like a router. We do not currently recommend wireless networking in the salon environment, as it tends to be a much slower network option.
Wired Ethernet
The installation of a Wired network should be handled by a Networking Professional. Contact your local Apple Store for a referral. If you do not have a local Apple Store, please contact STX Software at 800.766.4778 and we will be happy to recommend a network professional for you.
Cat 5e/100 Crossover cable for directly connecting 2 Computers
Cat 5e/100 Patch cables for connecting more than 2 Computers to a Switch or Broadband Router
Fast Cat 5e/6/Gigabit patch cable(s) to connect a Dedicated Server with Gigabit Ethernet to a Gigabit Switch/Gigabit Broadband Router
Switches and Broadband Routers
10/100 Switch or Broadband Router Recommended
Gigabit Switch or Gigabit Broadband Router for a Dedicated Server with Gigabit Ethernet
Firewall Information
If your computer and/or router have a firewall turned on, certain ports MUST be opened for STX to see the data through the network, whether local or remote:
Ports 9090 & 20260
Note: Firewalls are only necessary if you will be connecting to an outside network or the Internet.
Wireless Ethernet
The installation of a Wireless network should be handled by a Networking Professional. Contact your local Apple Store for a referral. If you do not have a local Apple Store, please contact STX Software at 800.766.4778 and we will be happy to recommend a network professional for you.
The Server and all Client Computers devoted to appointments and transactions should always be connected with Wired Ethernet. These computers do not require Wireless Cards.
The Wireless Base Station to connect the other Client Computers will connect to the Switch or Broadband Router. Client Computers that connect via the Base Station require Wireless Cards. All machines purchased from Apple after 2005 will come with a Wireless card built-in.
Wireless Cards
Airport (802.11b) Minimum
Airport Extreme (802.11g) Recommended
Wireless Base Stations
Airport (802.11b) Minimum
Airport Extreme (802.11g) Recommended
Wireless Antennas
Base Station Limited to 50 Feet with Airport Extreme (802.11g)
Base Station Limited to 150 Feet with Airport (802.11b)
Dr. Bott Omni, 250 Feet in Any Direction
Dr. Bott Direct, 500 Feet in One Direction
Firewall Information
If your computer and/or router have a firewall turned on, certain ports MUST be opened for STX to see the data through the network, whether local or remote:
Ports 9090 & 20260
Note: Firewalls are only necessary if you will be connecting to an outside network or the Internet.
Remote Networks
The installation of a Remote network should be handled by a Networking Professional. Contact your local Apple Store for a referral. If you do not have a local Apple Store, please contact STX Software at 800.766.4778 and we will be happy to recommend a network professional for you. Due to the number of routers on the market, the ever changing networking atmosphere and the importance of your Internet connection, STX cannot assist in the setup of remote access.
The computer connecting remotely to the Server computer will always be considered a Client Computer. The following are guidelines you will need to follow in order to accomplish the remote access.
1. Port forwarding: Ports 9090, and 20260 need to be opened on the Server's router to allow the remote computer access to STX. These ports should be opened using TCP/IP protocol.
2. Install the STX Client Application on the remote computer. Once you install the STX client application on the remote computer and launch it, you will get a message asking for the Host IP address of the server computer, or the one that has the STX data.
3. You will need to know the external IP address of the Server computer so when you are logging in remotely, and STX asks for the Host IP, you can give it the external IP address of the server.
There is a Dashboard Widget you can download on the server called IP Widget which will always tell you the current external IP address, or you can go to www.whatsmyipaddress.com from the server computer to see what that is.
If you have a Static IP address for the server computer, you should only need to obtain the external IP address one time, as the Static IP addresses should never change. If you have a Dynamic IP address, you will need to verify the external IP address of the server each time you want to log in remotely as the Dynamic IP addresses usually change frequently.
4. If you plan on logging into STX from the remote location when the company is closed, you must leave the server computer running at all times, and it cannot be set to go to sleep.
5. The STX license should include enough seats to handle the remote computer logging into STX. If you are currently licensed for 3 seats, and the remote computer will be computer #4 logging into the STX data, then you will need to purchase an additional seat for your license. Please contact our Sales Department by calling 800.766.4778 for information about purchasing additional seats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When I start up STX on a Workstation, not the Server, the following screen appears and I have no idea what to put in there.
A: This screen will probably already show some type of address. When STX asks for the Host IP, it wants to know where to find the data. Because the data is "housed" on the server computer, you must find out the IP address of the server.
1. If a wired Ethernet cable connects the computer to the Server:
Go to Apple: System Preferences: Network. Highlight the Ethernet option listed on the left.
If you are using a router, or have broadband Internet connection, the Configure menu should be set to Using DHCP or Using DHCP with manual address.
***Using DHCP alone may not be at all what you want. Your network technician would know what is best for your situation. You might want the server to have a MANUAL IP address so it won't change the next time it boots up. It could also be set as Using DHCP with manual address so to allow you to set the IP address yourself but still indicate a router or broadband Internet connection is present.
Be sure the manual address is not set within the range of DHCP addresses that the router will assign. Again, your network technician will know what is best for your situation.
Because the Internet, without a router, is actually supplying the IP address for you, it might change periodically, especially when the server is shut down overnight. This might be why a workstation computer is asking for the Host IP, because the data is no longer located at the IP address it was given before.
NOTE: This is a very dangerous and unsafe situation and should be avoided. You should ONLY have it so that any network attached to the Internet goes strictly through a firewall and/or router.
If you are not using a router, and do not have broadband Internet access, the Configure menu should be set to Manually. You will need to enter a generic number if there is not one already. The generic address would be 192.168.123.101 for the server, 192.168.123.102 for the 1st workstation (client) computer, 192.168.123.103 for the 2nd workstation (client) computer, etc.
Because the IP 192.168.123.101 would be the actual manual address on the server, enter that number on the computer asking for the Host IP. Otherwise, enter the IP address shown on the server.
If there is a wireless connection to the Server:
Go to Apple: System Preferences: Network. Highlight the AirPort option listed on the left and click the Advanced button. Go to the TCP/IP tab.
If you are using a router, AirPort Base Station, or have broadband Internet access, the Configure menu should be set to Using DHCP. You should see the server's IP address.
Because the router, Internet, and/or AirPort Base Station are actually supplying the IP address for you, it might change periodically, especially when the server is shut down overnight. This might be why a workstation computer is asking for the Host IP, because the data is no longer located at the IP address it was given before.
Once you determine what the actual IP address of the server is, enter that number on the computer asking for the Host IP.
Q: I have tried all of the above and I still cannot get the workstation computers to log into the server.
A: The problem may actually lie in the network itself, such as a bad cable, a bad switch or router, or any number of things. It is best to get your network professional to look things over, however, it could be as simple as resetting the equipment. Simply turn off the power to each item, wait a few seconds, then power them back up again. It is recommended that computers be shut down when resetting network equipment.
Q: When I launch STX on the Server (or stand-alone computer) it asks for the Host IP. What should I put in there?
A: There is a generic IP address of 127.0.0.1 that can be used on the Server or stand-alone computer ONLY. You will NEVER use this IP address on a Workstation or Client computer.
If the screen keeps popping up and will not accept the generic number, either you are not on the Server (or stand-alone) computer, or there is a problem with the STX Database. Try restarting the computer(s) by shutting down each workstation computer first and then restarting the Server computer to see if that helps. If you determine that you are indeed on the Server or stand-alone computer, and restarting did not help, please call the Technical Support Department at 800.766.4778 for help with the Database.
Q: Sometimes the calendar on my computer gets a "fogged out" look and then it goes away.
A: Not all of the computers on the network are set to the same time zone and/or same city. Check the Date and Time System Preferences pane on each computer to make sure they are all set to the same Time Zone and same City. Each computer should also be set to as close to the same Time as possible.
Q: Can I take a backup from a computer other than the server?
A: Yes. Any computer running the STX software can take a new backup. However, only the STX Server computer can Save the backup to an external device.
Q: I am trying to login from my remote computer and STX says all licensed seats are in use. Nobody is working on the computers at work. What do I do?
A: The Server computer needs to be restarted. Someone inadvertently shut down a computer without first quitting the STX program. Occasionally, that computer's seat will still be shown as in use. Restarting the Server computer will release all seats from being in use.

The Golden State Warriors: The Most Entertaining Basketball Ever Played
By Steve Kinsman, 10th Jan 2016 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/7lxp2don/
Posted in WikinutNewsSport
Basketball's appeal lies in the fact that it is a highly entertaining spectacle. Its players are unmatched by any other sport in terms of their sheer athleticism. Now, the Golden State Warriors have taken the sport's entertainment factor to a whole new level.
- The Warriors wow!
- Curry's supporting cast starts with Klay Thompson
- Draymond Green
- The other players
- Watch the videos
The Warriors wow!
Basketball, when played to virtual perfection, as the Golden State Warriors have done this season by winning a startling 26 games in a row to begin their year, is a thing of beauty, an unparalleled athletic dance that rivals the best of ballet.
As of this writing, their record stands, almost at the midpoint of the season, at 35 wins against only two losses, and every successive win establishes a new record.
The team is led by 27-year old Stephen Curry, who does things with the round ball no one else has done before or since. Not only is he the greatest pure shooter in the history of the game, but no superlatives can describe his dribbling and passing skills. He simply must be seen to be believed.
Curry's supporting cast starts with Klay Thompson
Steph Curry's backcourt mate is Klay Thompson, whose shooting skills nearly match his own. Together, the pair are nicknamed "The Slash Brothers." Thompson holds the National Basketball Association all-time record for points scored in one quarter of play - 37! During infrequent times when Curry cools off, Thompson can take over a game, scoring buckets in bunches. While Curry leads the league in three-point shooting, Thomson is third in the league.
Draymond Green
Draymond Green, a power forward who also plays center in the "small ball" Warriors lineup, is this year's leader in "triple-doubles," when a player scores, assists other baskets and rebounds in double figures. He is a dangerous three-point shooter as well, and he is arguably the best defensive player in the entire league.
The other players
Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut round out the starting five. Barnes has all-around skills to add to the Warrior mix, and Bogut is a gifted passer, rebounder and dunker of the basketball. Andre Igoudala comes off the bench as sixth man. Igoudala spent his entire eleven-year career prior to last season as a starter, but coach Steve Kerr talked him into assuming the sixth man role last year, and it turned out to be a brilliant move, as Igoudala walked off with the Most Valuable Player award in the NBA finals last year against LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers.
Watch the videos
Frankly, this is a meaningless article if you don't take the opportunity to view the videos I have posted here. If you do, I think you will agree with me that the Golden State Warriors, in terms of sheer entertainment value, surpass even the legendary Harlem Globetrotters.

The Atlantic Daily: The Wider Implications
What We're Following
The New NSA: Trump's decision to replace National-Security Adviser H.R. McMaster with John Bolton has major implications for the president's North Korea strategy. Bolton, who served in the Reagan and both Bush administrations, has been a foreign-policy hawk throughout his career. His regular appearances on Fox News might be one reason for the president's choice—though the two men may not see eye-to-eye once Bolton takes office. As for McMaster, he now faces a choice about what details of his time in the Trump White House to make public.
Trump signed a spending bill that will fund the federal government through September—although The president had threatened to veto the bill over its failure to outline a replacement for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, among other issues. Indeed, writes Russell Berman, "Congress may have either on DACA or Obamacare before the November election."

CMS Provides PDGM Tools & Resources
Posted on Monday, July 23, 2018 3:22 PM
By Sue Payne
CMS has updated and added some tools/resources agencies can utilize to understand the impact of PDGM on their organization. The tools can be found here.
The PDGM Grouper tool is similar to the one that CMS provided for HHGM, but they have updated it with the tweaks CMS has made to PDGM. As a reminder, this tool is good for one scenario at a time. For example, you could choose a common diagnosis/scenario that is common for your Medicare population and run it through the tool to compare revenue under PDGM versus revenue under PPS model. This tool will not provide aggregate data so you cannot model your entire Medicare population using this tool. A help document is also available for use with the tool.
A new PDGM tool that CMS has provided is the PDGM Agency Level Impact. This tool provides Medicare revenue utilizing the current PPS model and then provides revenue utilizing the proposed PDGM model. This tool lists all agencies by CCN number. As a reminder since PDGM is now budget neutral, there will be agencies who look better under PDGM balanced with agencies who look worse under PDGM. It gives providers an overall view of what to expect with current population.
There are also files listing PDGM case weights and LUPA thresholds on this website.
CMS will also be providing along with CY 2019 proposed/final rule, an LDS (limited data set) of home health claims data for providers. When this becomes available, providers will have to request the limited data set. This data can then be utilized by providers to model/analyze operational and clinical impacts on their organization.

Last night I watched the results of the primaries come in on MSNBC. I wanted to see if Tim Russert or anyone would mention that if we wanted to withdraw from NAFTA we could within six months. That they would opt-out is the leverage Hillary and Obama said they need to renegotiate the agreement. It's renegotiate or else and not renegotiate or nothing. The latter makes no sense.

So every time Russert mentioned the fact that both democratic candidates "wanted to renegotiate NAFTA" he should have added "or they will opt-out of it." That never happened. In fact I never heard anyone mention the results of not renegotiating.

I don't think that this is accidental. Corporate America doesn't want to hear anything about opt-outs. Perhaps, Russert has been promised greater access to the candidates if he doesn't press them on the opt-out leverage part of their promise? Russert was the one who asked about opting out in the last debate.

I think that Obama's "Downing Street Memo" to the Canadian Embassy helped Hillary win so decisively in Ohio. His economic adviser made it sound as if the decision not to opt-out of NAFTA has already been made. All the fuss is just for show.

Hillary pressed this advantage weakly. She hasn't mentioned the word opt-out since the last debate. Obama has the "understanding" hung around his neck and Hillary won't mention the opt-out part of the renegotiating equation. She as bad as Russert. She is either going to have to make the connection or lose her advantage by the time she reaches Pennsylvania.

NAFTA haters need reassured that the opt-out is on the table and is a real option. Without that assurance they'll both be seen as blowing smoke.

She can make the connection before Obama does and win Pennsylvania big, or she can be suspected of just not getting caught with her own Downing Street Memo and settle for not exceeding expectations.

Oh, one other thing. Will someone in the press core tell John McCain that NAFTA is an agreement and not a treaty.

Change Spending Propensities

 dissent: Has Reich noticed the proliferation of low wage jobs and the disappearance of well paid jobs?

Everybody has noticed. We are not blind. When there is no job alternative, the unemployed take what is available ... and those are lower-paying service jobs that require few or no real skills.

But, you don't rail against the only viable long-term option, which is enhancing workforce skills by moving up the competence ladder. Unless, of course, we'd do better to spend our efforts comforting people that their low-paying service-sector jobs are the "way to go". (Is that what you propose?)

They aren't. The service-sector work simply incarcerates un- and semi-skilled personnel in minimum-wage subsistence employment.

The way to go is (1) Increase upper-income marginal rates to 92%, (2) Institute a national Value-Added-Tax to allow recession-proof tax funding (shared with the states) and (3) Spend massively on Secondary-school, Trade/Professional Training and University education (all of them free, gratis and for nothing).

Then wait five to ten years for the impact on the economy to be felt. An increase in talents change Spending Propensities, which stimulate Demand in services. This leads directly to more local employment opportunity.

What to do till it does? Swim vigorously to keep one's head above water.

Reich above is correct that America's Social Safety Net has holes wide enough to drive a truck through. So, there are a great many who fall right through into sub-subsistence living. Increased taxation (particularly of upper-income levels) and Public Service spending are the only solutions worth considering. Besides, the spending will also create jobs.

(Of course, Wall Street Golden Boys will take a serious hit ... but who cares?)

There is NO QUICK FIX. Not with Barack, not with Hillary, not with McCain. Nobody has a quick fix to a mess we've been getting into for decades.

Robert Reich on NAFTA
 By Brad DeLong

He writes:

 Robert Reich's Blog: Hillary and Barack, Afta Nafta: * It's a shame the Democratic candidates for president feel they have to make trade – specifically NAFTA – the enemy of blue-collar workers.... NAFTA is not to blame.... When NAFTA took effect, Ohio had 990,000 manufacturing jobs. Two years later, in 1996, it had 1,300,000 manufacturing jobs. The number stayed above a million for the rest of the 1990s. Today, though, there are about 775,000 manufacturing jobs in Ohio.

 What happened? The economy... crashed in late 2000, and the manufacturing jobs lost in that last recession never came back... employers automated the jobs out of existence, using robots and computers... [and] shipped the jobs abroad, mostly to China – not to Mexico.

 NAFTA has become a symbol for the mounting insecurities felt by blue-collar Americans. While the overall benefits from free trade far exceed the costs, and the winners from trade (including all of us consumers who get cheaper goods and services because of it) far exceed the losers, there's a big problem: The costs fall disproportionately on the losers -- mostly blue-collar workers who get dumped because their jobs can be done more cheaply by someone abroad who'll do it for a fraction of the American wage.... Even though the winners from free trade could theoretically compensate the losers and still come out ahead, they don't. America doesn't have a system for helping job losers find new jobs that pay about the same as the ones they've lost – regardless of whether the loss was because of trade or automation. There's no national retraining system. Unemployment insurance reaches fewer than 40 percent of people who lose their jobs.... There's no wage insurance. Nothing....

 Get me? The Dems shouldn't be redebating NAFTA. They should be debating how to help Americans adapt to a new economy in which no job is safe. Okay, so back to my initial question. The answer is HRC didn't want the Administration to move forward with NAFTA... because of its timing. She wanted her health-care plan to be voted on first...

There are other, secondary causes of declining numbers of manufacturing jobs in Ohio. The Bush budget deficits certainly don't help.

Document this. Using self-defeating metaphors, by the way, is merely self-defeating and never allows for any constructive approach to a problem.

There are many ways in which workers might have been helped for years in the middle west, but the arguments used continually make programs that could help impossible. Mention infrastructure and there are sneers. Mention education, including no tuition public college and university education and there are sneers. Mention universal health care and there are sneers. On and on.

Hey, question:

Both Democrat candidates are promising to improve the situation for US workers by improving wages and working standards for foreign workers.

Ah, that will improve the lives of foreign workers, but I don't see a single speck of benefit for US workers, unless all of the foreign workers start receiving US wages and benefits.

Both parties are throwing blue collar workers overboard, it is just that the Democrats do not tie a cement block to each leg first, which I guess makes them better.

Senators Clinton and Obama are crisscrossing Ohio promising milk, honey and two chickens in every pot. A half hour after the primary is decided they will forget that Ohio exists (do I sound cynical?) until September. McCain is going to save Ohio also - gag.

Best estimate by both political parties in Ohio is that NAFTA cost Ohio 50000 - 55000 manufacturing jobs, of about 275,000 job lost overall. Of course, this is a net figure, what few jobs were created barely made a dent.

Nobody really gives much of a damn about blue collar workers - except for a brief period at election time.

The claim that America does not have system for helping losers is grossly inaccurate. Whenever bank managers are so irresponsible in their mad scrabble to make big bonuses by lending other people's money to people who are unlikely ever to pay it back (and so don't mind borrowing on terms that make the loans apparently very profitable for a long enough time for the bankers to "make their numbers"), we have an institution called the Federal Reserve Bank that forces interest rates on the CDs bought by small savers so low that the banks can make enough money off them to restore their capital so those money-losing bankers can do it all over again.

And since the inflation this generates wipes out the debts of innumerable spendthrifts, it helps an even larger army of money-losers.

In America, you've just got to be the right kind of loser.

@rdf -

You both make compelling arguments on NAFTA and its genesis.

I know Clinton was responsible for creating WTO (I was involved at the time with Gatt Rounds). What I did was simply make a list of things which form the genesis of a globalization policy framework under Clinton/Rubinomics.

In the current context of debate about the nexis of NAFTA and its trade impact, even PK will eventually come around to admit that domestic inequality has a fiscal economic determinate which need to be fully studied and explained.

It's a Rational Fool who thinks the quantum of trade with Mexico has contributed to income inequality. And, as long as unis continue to produce "theoretical" modelling gods rather than "practical" transformers of economy, short-terminism against long-term national interest, the chances are not good (for the moment) to turn this huge giant of a capitalist mecca around...

Of course I don't post things I think are wrong. Why should I?

Sometimes there's value in pointing out why something is wrong, but other times, even when good counterarguments are part of the post, posting something gives it the light of day it might not have gotten otherwise and only serves to give the argument a wider audience. If people are already well aware of something, it's often worth rebutting since it's already found the light of day, but it doesn't do a lot of good to say "here's something you didn't know about and here's why it's wrong."

In addition. Reich's rss feed is on the sidebar - so everything he posts gets some attention here. I don't post everything he posts, or everything anyone else posts on their blog -- I have to sort things into those I want to post and those I skip over. Why would I select something I think is wrong or does not advance an issue at the expense of something that does?

So I really don't get your problem with my selecting the things I think are worth presenting, and casting the rest aside.

NAFTA Crosstalk
 By Matthew Yglesias

Yesterday, Canadian television reported that Obama advisors were telling Canada's ambassador in Washington not to take the candidate's NAFTA rhetoric too seriously. Now what really seems to have happened * is that Austan Goolsbee tried to get someone from the Canadian consulate in Chicago to be a bit less worried about Obama. Whatever the details, this kind of ambiguous messaging is likely to recur time and again.

I recall being at a meeting in Cambridge, MA around the time of the 2004 Democratic Convention where John Kerry's top economic and foreign policy advisors were essentially promising a group of assembled ambassadors that all of his anti-trade rhetoric was just empty rhetoric. This seemed like a typically Kerryish thing to have happen, but it would serve Obama may to try to avoid the same kind of thing repeating.

NAFTA did not have a big effect on the loss of jobs in the US, but the next primary is in Ohio where everyone believes that it did, so the candidates pander. Big surprise.

NAFTA did have a big negative effect, but it was on the Mexican economy. That's why there is a flood of peasants moving from the countryside to Mexican cities and into the US as well. Cheap corn imports from the US have destroyed the subsistence farming economy. It is also why there is a low grade civil war going on in Mexico as well.

NAFTA was meant to benefit US farmers, and it is doing that. It will also benefit firms like Walmart as restrictions on trucking from Mexico are lifted. Walmart is promoting increased port facilities in Mexico so it can avoid the unionized ports in California. Walmart imports something like $9 billion in goods from China. After the containers are unloaded in Mexico they will be put onto trucks run by non-unionized Mexican drivers and moved into the US. That's who benefits from NAFTA.

The question is why did manufacturing move out of the US? There seems not to be a single answer. Clothing and shoes have a high labor component and are cheap to ship, so moving these industries abroad makes economic sense (at least for the firm's owners).

But what's the rationale for moving heavy industry, or drug production or semi-conductors? Much of this work is automated and labor is not a high percentage of the overall cost. Even the complaints of Detroit don't add up. Japanese automakers are building cars in the US with US labor. The claim by the big three that they have legacy benefits to cover doesn't wash. If they had been setting money aside in a prudent fashion all along these costs would have been covered. Instead they underfunded benefits and paid out the "profits" leaving the hole for the future. The future has arrived.

Personally, I think much of the reason for moving production abroad was motivated by a desire to run away from organized labor and allow the autocrats who typically run large firms to manage without having to deal with other power centers. In other words outsourcing is part of an ego trip by CEO's. One can see the same ego motivated actions in merger actions. CEO's want bigger bragging rights, but most mergers turn out poorly and most acquiring companies suffer a loss in stock price when they are announced.

For-profit firms are run as modern day duchies and the heads of them are just as vain as their predecessors (and as clueless).

Regarding specifically NAFTA, the line I always heard was that "we would rather have Spain than Bangladesh on our southern border". To me if you look at it in isolation it's hard to look at NAFTA as anything but as success, but it has perhaps not been as great a success as we had hoped. Also, as Reich says, American workers facing trade pressures (particularly Midwesterners) are for some reason more likely to blame Mexico than China, even though China has in fact had a much larger impact. I don't really understand why this is--perhaps someone closer to that reality can offer a clue?

Hari - The WTO didn't exist before Clinton took office, so I think we can rule that out as a reason ;-).

My belief, and I think the belief of the Clinton Administration, was that, with communism extinct, free trade was the best way to build world peace. The idea is that, if the world consists largely of a bunch of reasonably wealthy countries whose economies are largely dependent on export/import relationships with other fairly wealthy countries, then these nations would recognize the insanity of going to war with each other.

I for one haven't totally given up on that idea, although we'll need better leadership to make it really work.

The assumption is simply that the leading candidate knows what he's talking about when it comes to external trade. I'm not at all sure he/she does. Their background/experience is such that it leaves a lot to be desired when discussing comparative trade advantage and factors of trade which have only recently made US an export country. US was most of its post-war period a dominantly non-exporting nation.

The question is why did trade liberalization become a policy instrument under Clinton Admin? Globalization?
 Hi Fi 24/7 markets? WTO?

I can hardly express disagreement with these sentiments, since they're basically the same thing that I've been saying on this forum for the past couple of years, along with Anne and maybe one or two other people. We were always greatly outnumbered by NAFTA's critics, however, and I eventually became convinced that free trade was such a loser politically that the next president had to take this anger and frustration into account, and distance him/herself from free trade.

Now, that we have a leading presidential candidate criticizing NAFTA, though, most posters here seem to have lost interest. I wonder why.

For nationalism and patriotism, it is a good slogan for the time being. Yet, US govs have traditionally done, in my life time, is that they've promoted expansion of trade rather than aid! Was that a good global policy to allow developing countreis to earn their way into the rich-mans-club (OECD) or not?

"She feared that the fight over NAFTA would use up so much of the White House's political capital that there wouldn't be enough left when it came to pushing for health care. In retrospect, she was probably right."

Nope, she was probably wrong. With or without NAFTA, the Clinton White House never had the "political capital" to push Hillary's health care plan through.

Even without NAFTA, US jobs would have migrated to countries with less expensive labor. The migration of cheap labor in and out of America was nothing new. Mill work, for instance, had long ago moved from the northeast to the southeast. It was only a matter of time until it moved out of the country. Water seeks its lowest level.

Unfortunately, once our manufacturing moved offshore, our country lost any semblance of self-suffiency. And now that we've become ethanoholics, we may even have lost the ability to feed ourselves.

Health reform that creates obvious large numbers of important loosers is probably doomed from the start. Any obvious limitations on incomes of workers in the health care sector will create a "Harry and Louise" backlash. The failure of the Clinton administration to early on engage the Congress combined with a failure to understand the significance of the fact that most middle class individuals were satisfied with their own doctors set the process up for failure.

Outsourcing manufacturing and service jobs to low wage countries is designed to drive wages down. That is the point. As we say in software, it's not a bug it's a feature. Given that fundamental fact, a little policy massage for "retraining" seems an odd thing to have faith in. For decades liberal policy wonks have been chattering about fixing our poorly performing public schools, and they are so very unfixed. I find it impossible to imagine the Federal Govt wading against the outsourcing stream and creating useful "retraining" programs. Even if (a big if) these are widely available, high quality programs, for what jobs? Has Reich noticed the proliferation of low wage jobs and the disappearance of well paid jobs? Again, it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Cobb County's population will hit 1 million by 2050, according to the latest forecast by the Atlanta Regional Commission.
The county will add 295,000 people to reach 1 million, the ARC said while releasing its latest population and employment forecasts Thursday.
It said Cobb will continue to be the third-most populous county in the Atlanta region after Gwinnett and Fulton, and will also grow more diverse.
Highlights of the ARC's 2050 population forecast for Cobb County include that the population will grow by 40% and reach 1.04 million, and the share of Hispanic residents will reach 21% in 2050, up from 13% in 2015.
The share of the county's population aged 75 and over will reach 13% in 2050, compared to 4% in 2015, which is the ARC forecast's base year.
The commission predictions were developed using several growth scenarios for each county. For Cobb's population, these include a "higher regional growth" scenario of 1,192,977, a "slower regional growth" scenario of 1,108,929, and the "preferred" scenario of 1,035,800, that serves as the official ARC number, an ARC press release stated.
According to ARC's regional forecast, the 21-county Atlanta region will add 2.9 million people by 2050, pushing the total population to 8.6 million.
The forecasts also show that by 2050, the region will become more racially and ethnically diverse, the number of older adults will increase significantly, and 1.2 million jobs will be added, bringing the region's employment total to 4.7 million.
To put the numbers in context, the forecast population growth of 2.9 million is equivalent to today's population of metro Denver, and slightly more than metro Charlotte, the ARC said.
It issues long-range population and employment forecasts about every four years to help inform major updates to the Atlanta Region's Plan, the long-range blueprint for metro Atlanta's future to improve the region's quality of life.
"Metro Atlanta has been one of the nation's growth engines for the past few decades, fueled by our high quality of life and dynamic, diverse economy," said Doug Hooker, ARC executive director. "But of course there's no crystal ball, and our continued prosperity is not a certainty. We must continue to carefully plan for the future and invest in the programs and infrastructure needed for our region to remain a great place to live."
Highlights of the 2050 population and employment forecasts:
♦ The largest population increases are expected to occur in several areas: parts of in-town Atlanta; in the northern suburbs along the I-75, I-85 and Ga. 400 corridors; and on the south side near the airport.
♦ The share of Hispanic residents will reach 21% in 2050, up from 12% in 2015; the share of white residents is expected to decline from 47.5% in 2015 to 31% in 2050; and the share of black residents will remain steady at about 33%.
♦ The percentage of residents aged 75 or older is forecast to be 12% in 2050, compared to 4% in 2015.
♦ Gwinnett County will become the most populous county in the region with 1.48 million residents, narrowly edging Fulton County.
♦ Forsyth County will have the fastest rate of growth by 2050, more than doubling in population to 440,353, followed by Henry County with a growth rate of 70%.
♦ The largest jobs gains will occur in the following sectors: health care and social assistance; professional, scientific and technical; and construction. The largest job losses are forecast to occur in the manufacturing and utilities sectors.
The ARC is the official planning agency for the 10-county Atlanta region, including Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale counties as well as the city of Atlanta and 73 other cities.
