Trump Unleashes the Economy
Will voters notice?
The New York Times had a startling headline in the print edition this week, above the fold and in the left-hand column no less: "With Red Tape Losing Its Grip, Firms Ante Up." The gist of the story is in the first two paragraphs:
A wave of optimism has swept over American business leaders, and it is beginning to translate into the sort of investment in new plants, equipment and factory upgrades that bolster economic growth, spurs job creation — and may finally raise wages significantly.
While business leaders are eager for the tax cuts that take effect this year, the newfound confidence was initially inspired by the Trump administration's regulatory pullback, not so much because deregulation is saving companies money but because the administration has instilled a faith in business executives that new regulations are not coming.
In other words, after the eight-year regulatory tsunami of the Obama administration, Donald Trump's deregulatory policy is having a positive effect on the whole American economy and will benefit both stockholders and employees. It will also increase government tax revenues and, since fewer bureaucrats are needed to enforce fewer regulations, it will decrease government expenditures, reducing the deficit.
The federal civilian labor force has been shrinking since President Trump took office. Trump signed an executive order soon after his inauguration requiring regulators to cut two regulations for every new one they add. So far, however, the ratio has been a remarkable 22-to-1.
Just by completing the Dakota Access Pipeline that the Obama administration had halted just short of completion, North Dakota oil production has increased by 78,000 barrels a day, putting downward pressure on global oil prices and reducing the American balance of payments deficit by $1.7 billion a year. (And, since pipelines are much less prone to accidents than railroads, it greatly reduces the chances of oil spills.) The Keystone Pipeline, finally approved after years of delay, will have a similarly positive effect when it comes online.
The powers-that-be at the New York Times and their fellow travelers elsewhere in the media would dearly love for Donald Trump to fail miserably as president, bringing on the blue wave next November that would give Congress to the Democrats, whatever the cost to the country. But if even the Times feels it necessary to report that "A wave of optimism has swept over American business leaders." A blue wave, therefore, may be a lot less likely to sweep over the Republican Congress.

Trump Unleashes the Economy
Must-Reads from Magazine
Planet Earth Dodges a Bullet
Banality and evil.
A week ago, I wondered what was going on in Sunspot, New Mexico. The FBI had swept into this mountain-top solar observatory, complete with Black Hawk helicopters, evacuated everyone, and closed the place down with no explanation whatever. Local police were politely told to butt out. It was like the first scene in a 1950's Hollywood sci-fi movie, probably starring Walter Pidgeon.
Well, now we know, at least according to the New York Post.
If you're hoping for little green men saying, "Take me to your leader," you're in for a disappointment. It seems the observatory head had discovered a laptop with child pornography on it that belonged to the janitor. The janitor then made veiled threats and in came the Black Hawks.
In sum, an all-too-earthly explanation with a little law-enforcement overkill thrown in.

The Unprincipled Boycott of Israel
The demands of the politicized life.
John Cheney-Lippold, an associate professor of American Culture at the University of Michigan, has been the subject of withering criticism of late, but I'm grateful to him. Yes, he shouldn't have refused to write a recommendation for a student merely because the semester abroad program she was applying to was in Israel. But at least he exposed what the boycott movement is about, aspects of which I suspect some of its blither endorsers are unaware.
We are routinely told, as we were by the American Studies Association, that boycott actions against Israel are "limited to institutions and their official representatives." But Cheney-Lippold reminds us that the boycott, even if read in this narrow way, obligates professors to refuse to assist their own students when those students seek to participate in study abroad programs in Israel. Dan Avnon, an Israeli academic, learned years ago that the same goes for Israel faculty members seeking to participate in exchange programs sponsored by Israeli universities. They, too, must be turned away regardless of their position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When the American Studies Association boycott of Israel was announced, over two hundred college presidents or provosts properly and publicly rejected it. But even they might not have imagined that the boycott was more than a symbolic gesture. Thanks to Professor Cheney-Lippold, they now know that it involves actions that disserve their students. Yes, Cheney-Lippold now says he was mistaken when he wrote that "many university departments have pledged an academic boycott against Israel." But he is hardly a lone wolf in hyper-politicized disciplines like American Studies, Asian-American Studies, and Women's Studies, whose professional associations have taken stands in favor of boycotting Israel. Administrators looking at bids to expand such programs should take note of their admirably open opposition to the exchange of ideas.
Cheney-Lippold, like other boycott defenders, points to the supposed 2005 "call of Palestinian civil society" to justify his singling out of Israel. "I support," he says in comments to the student newspaper, "communities who organize themselves and ask for international support to achieve equal rights, freedom and to prevent violations of international law." Set aside the absurdity of this reasoning ("Why am I not boycotting China on behalf of Tibet? Because China has been much more effective in stifling civil society!"). Focus instead on what Cheney- Lippold could have found out by Googling. The first endorser of the call of "civil society" is the Council of National and Islamic Forces (NIF) in Palestine, which includes Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other groups that trade not only in violent resistance but in violence that directly targets noncombatants.
That's remained par for the course for the boycott movement. In October 2015, in the midst of the series of stabbings deemed "the knife intifada," the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel shared a call for an International Day with the "new generation of Palestinians" then "rising up against Israel's brutal, decades-old system of occupation." To be sure, they did not directly endorse attacks on civilians, but they did issue their statement of solidarity with "Palestinian popular resistance" one day after four attacks that left three Israelis–all civilians–dead.
The boycott movement, in other words, can sign on to a solidarity movement that includes the targeting of civilians for death, but cannot sign letters of recommendation for their own undergraduates if those undergraduates seek to learn in Israel. That tells us all we need to know about the boycott movement. It was nice of Cheney-Lippold to tell us.

The Low, Low Price of Serfdom
Nothing ventured.
Convenience, wrote Columbia University law professor Tim Wu, is a tyrant. It makes our lives easier and more enjoyable, but everything comes with a price tag. We may not recognize that which we are sacrificing in the pursuit of convenience, but we are sacrificing nonetheless.
The instant gratification associated with on-demand society has made America's shared cultural moments a thing of the past. The explosion of online shopping has eliminated the time consumers wasted traveling from store to store, but physical retail is dying as a result. The modern public square and the daily human interactions that it encouraged will disappear along with it. Machine learning has the power to introduce a "more compassionate social contract" and reduce physical risk associated with workplace hazards or lifestyle choices. But risk is just another word for freedom and, in the pursuit of convenience, we risk sacrificing our independence along with our hardships.
"We're really reinventing the traditional insurance model with our vitality program," said Marianne Harrison, the CEO of one of North America's largest life insurers, John Hancock, in a recent appearance on CNBC. The beaming insurance executive boasted of her firm's effort to marry a "technology-based wellness program" with an "insurance product." That's a loaded way of saying that this American insurer is soon going to charge based on the real-time monitoring of your daily activities. Behavior-based insurance will track the health data of policyholders through wearable devices or smartphones and distribute rewards based on individual choices. You don't have to wear a tracking device to participate in this program—at least, not yet. Harrison assured skeptics that they could also dole out rewards to policyholders who take simple steps like reading preapproved literature, the consumption of which they presumably track.
This innovation is optional today, but the savings it yields for both consumer and insurer guarantee that it will soon become a standard feature of the insurance landscape. Your freedom to eat poorly, use tobacco products, drink alcohol, or perform any number of physical activities that include varying levels of risk are not limited. You'll just have to pay for them. And if Democratic policymakers succeed in nationalizing the private health insurance industry under the auspices of Medicare-for-all or single-payer or whatever other euphemisms they apply to the public confiscation of private property, these "tools" will only become more pervasive.
A similar rationale—the primacy of collective health—can be applied to any number of activities that invite unnecessary risk that technology can mitigate. Foremost among these is the terribly dangerous American habit of driving a car.
In 2017, there were over 40,000 automobile-related fatalities. This was the second consecutive year in which the roads were that deadly and, if observers who attribute this rate of fatal traffic accidents to an increase in smartphone ownership are correct, there will not be a decline anytime soon. A 2015 study purported to show that replacing manual vehicles with autonomous cars or vehicles with advanced driver-assistance systems could eliminate up to 90 percent of all fatal accidents and save as many as 300,000 American lives each decade. It is perhaps only a matter of time before the option to own a driverless vehicle becomes a mandate with a hefty financial penalty imposed on those who opt out.
"[T]he threat to individual freedom that the driverless car is set to pose is at this stage hard to comprehend," wrote National Review's Charles C.W. Cooke. Presently, the car transports its diver to wherever they'd like to go, whether there are roads to facilitate the journey or not. In a driverless world, as Cooke noted, the driver becomes a mere occupant. They must essentially ask the car for permission to transit from point A to point B, and the whole process is monitored and logged by some unseen authorities. Furthermore, that transit could ostensibly be subject to the veto of state or federal authorities with the push of a button. That seems a steep price to pay for a little convenience and the promise of safety.
The pursuit of convenience, as Professor Wu explained, has resulted in remarkable social leveling. We enjoy more time today for "self-cultivation," once only the province of the wealthy and aristocratic, than at any point in history. And yet, we cannot know true liberty without hardship. "The constellation of inconvenient choices may be all that stands between us and a life of total, efficient conformity," Wu concluded.
There is more to celebrate in the technological revolutions of the last quarter-century than there is to lament. But in the pursuit of convenience, we've begun to make spontaneity irrational. In life, the rewards associated with experience are commensurate with that which is ventured. In a future in which the world's sharp edges are bubble-wrapped, your life may exceed today's average statistical length. But can you really call it living?

A Hill to Die on
Justice both delayed and denied.
According to Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Chris Coons, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, did not want to come forward. In an eerie echo of Anita Hill's public ordeal, her accusations were "leaked to the media." With her confidentiality violated, Ford had no choice but to go public. Coons could not say where that leak came from, but he did confess that "people on committee staff" had access to the letter in which Ford made her allegations. Draw your own conclusions.
Though many observers insist that what we have witnessed since Ford's allegations were made public is about justice, it's hard to see any rectitude in this process. Ford has been transformed into a public figure apparently against her wishes. The details of the attack that Ford alleges are deeply disturbing, but they are not prosecutable. Ford's recollection of the events 36 years ago is understandably hazy, but what she alleges to have occurred is too vague to establish with much accuracy. She cannot recall the precise date or location in which she was supposedly attacked. Contrary to the protestations of Senate Democrats like Kamala Harris, the FBI cannot get involved in a matter that is not within the federal government's jurisdiction. And even if local authorities were inclined to involve themselves, the statute of limitations long ago elapsed.
With precious few facts available to congressional investigators and without the sobriety that public scrutiny in the age of social media abhors, the spectacle to which the nation is about to be privy is undoubtedly going to make things worse. A public hearing featuring both Ford and Kavanaugh will be a performative and political display, if it happens at all. It will be adorned with the trappings of courtroom proceedings but with none of the associated protections afforded accused and accuser alike. It will further polarize the nation such that, whether Kavanaugh is confirmed or not, public confidence in Congress and the Supreme Court will be severely damaged. And no matter what is said in that hearing, it is unlikely to change many minds.
Given the dearth of hard evidence, it is understandable that observers have begun to look to their own experiences to evaluate the veracity of Ford's allegations. The Atlantic contributor Caitlin Flanagan is the author of a powerful and compelling example of this kind of work. Her essay, entitled "I Believe Her," is important for a variety of reasons. Maybe foremost among them is how she all but invalidates defenses of Kavanaugh that are based on the positive character references he's assembled from former female acquaintances and ex-girlfriends. Flanagan was assaulted as a young woman, and her abuser—a man she says drove her to a suicidal depression similar to what Ford has described to her therapist—was not interested in a romantic relationship. CNN political commenter Symone Sanders, too, confessed that "there is no debate" in her mind as to Kavanaugh's guilt, in part, because she was the victim of a sexual assault in college. The similarities between what she endured and what Ford says occurred are too hard for her to ignore.
These are harrowing stories, but they also reveal how little any of this has to do with Brett Kavanaugh anymore. For some, this has become a proxy battle in the broader cultural reckoning that began with the #MeToo moment. Quite unlike the many abusive men who were outed by this movement, though, the evidentiary standard being applied to Kavanaugh's case is remarkably low. His innocence has not been presumed, and a preponderance of evidence has not been marshaled against him. It is not even clear as of this writing that Kavanaugh will be allowed to confront his accuser. At a certain point, honest observers must concede that getting to the truth has not been a defining feature of this process.
In the face of this adversity, there are some Republicans who are willing to sacrifice Kavanaugh's nomination. Some appear to think that Kavanaugh's troubles present them with an opportunity to advance their own political prospects and to promote a replacement nominee with whom they feel a closer ideological affinity. Others simply don't want to risk standing by a tainted nominee. The stakes associated with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court are too high to confirm a justice with an asterisk next to his name—a justice who may tarnish future rulings on sensitive cases by association. Those Republicans are either capitulatory or craven.
Based on what we know now, Kavanaugh does not deserve an asterisk. Maybe he will tomorrow, but he doesn't today. Those who would allow what is by almost all accounts an exemplary legal career to be destroyed by unconfirmable accusations or outright innuendo will not get a better deal down the line. Some Republicans are agnostic about Kavanaugh's fate and believe that his being stopped will make room for a more doctrinaire conservative like Amy Coney Barrett. But they will not get their ideologically simpatico justice if they allow the defiling of the process by which she could be confirmed.
The experiences that Dr. Ford described are appalling. Even for those who are inclined to believe her account and think that she is due some restitution, no true justice can be meted out that doesn't infringe on the rights of the accused. Those in the commentary class who would use Kavanaugh as a stand-in for every abuser who got away, every preppy white boy who benefited from unearned privilege, every hypocritical conservative moralizer to exact some karmic vengeance are not interested in justice. They want a political victory, even at the expense of the integrity of the American ideal. If there is a fight worth having, it's the fight against that.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new report says the government's budget deficit is set to fall to $514 billion for the current year, down substantially from last year and the lowest by far since President Barack Obama took office five years ago.
The Congressional Budget Office report credits higher tax revenues from the rebounding economy and sharp curbs on agency spending as the chief reason for the deficit's short-term decline.
But CBO sees the long-term deficit picture worsening by about $100 billion a year through the end of the decade because of slower growth in the economy over the coming decade than it had previously predicted.
Last year's deficit registered $680 billion. Obama inherited an economy in crisis and first-ever deficits exceeding $1 trillion.

Climate Change
Earth's climate is changing. Global temperature is rising, weather patterns are shifting, and other effects may be on our horizon. While we can't predict the severity of those impacts in a particular place or time, we can nonetheless see—and measure—many changes.
Yes, climate has changed throughout Earth's long history, but this time is different. For the first time, complex human societies are facing the consequences of climate change worldwide. Plant and animal species already threatened by fragmented habitats are feeling the impact. And for the first time, humans are causing it.
Can we avoid disastrous climate change by altering the way we live? There is still time. But it will take a worldwide effort, lasting generations. And it needs to start now.
Today, atmospheric CO2 is at a level that has not been seen on Earth for at least 800,000 years, and probably much longer.
By the 1600s, coal was replacing wood as a common fuel. In addition to being readily available, coal had another great advantage over wood: it is more energy-dense.
A transparent, protective blanket envelops Earth. It is the atmosphere, which admits enough of the energy streaming from the Sun to warm our planet and retains enough of that heat to keep it livable.
A warming atmosphere affects more than just air temperatures: while heat waves and droughts are becoming more common and intense, rainstorms are also becoming more powerful, sometimes provoking dangerous floods.
Ice is melting at the poles. Impacts will be global.
Ice shelves are massive, floating platforms of ice that surround the ice-covered continents of Antarctica and Greenland. When they melt, sea level isn't directly affected, because this ice is already in the ocean.
The ocean regulates climate. Changing waters mean a changing climate.
Changing ocean waters will harm many ocean organisms, disrupt ocean food chains, and affect the ocean's ability to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, thereby altering Earth's climate.
The last few decades have seen larger areas of the world enduring longer—and drier—droughts. What's more, many of those droughts have been hotter than in the past.
As our planet warms, rainstorms and other extreme events are becoming more intense. What sorts of changes will we have to make as global warming continues?
Lowering emissions to help curb climate change is possible, starting right now. Consuming less, riding the train instead of driving solo or unplugging idle electronics may seem like small steps, but these measures make a difference, especially when whole communities do them.
Although rapidly reducing global emissions will require a range of actions, from preserving Earth's forests to changing the ways we travel, providing clean sources of electricity is most critical.

The Heat is On: Fast Facts from the American Museum of Natural History
The Museum established a Sustainable Practices Committee in 1998.
How much can you reduce your carbon dioxide emissions? Is it worth it?
The American Museum of Natural History worked with a number of collaborators to produce Climate Change: The Threat to Life and A New Energy Future.
Climate Change: The Threat to Life and A New Energy Future was organized by the American Museum of Natural History, New York, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage, United Arab Emirates, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, The Field Museum of Chicago, Instituto Sangari, São Paulo, Brazil, Junta de Castilla y León, Spain, Korea Green Foundation, Seoul, Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Papalote Museo del Niño, Mexico City and Saint Louis Science Center.

COOLUM, Australia (AP) – The PGA of Australia will move the venue of its PGA Championship, which was overshadowed last year by the billionaire resort owner's decision to position a giant robotic dinosaur outside the clubhouse and post unusual signage around the course.
PGA of Australia chief executive Brian Thorburn announced Monday that the tournament would be moved away from the Sunshine Coast region where it has been staged since 2000. The venue for the 2013 tournament has not been disclosed.
Thorburn said a "lack of flexibility of dates … and signage matters'' prompted golf's national governing body to seek alternatives to the resort owned by mining magnate Clive Palmer.
The contract with the resort had been in jeopardy since the 26-foot mechanical T-Rex nicknamed "Jeff'' – placed between the ninth green and 10th tee – generated international headlines and plenty of jokes. Palmer agreed to turn off the movement sensors on the dinosaur so it didn't flip its tail or open its mouth for a menacing roar during the tournament.
He also put up more than 60 signs around the golf course to promote his business interests, which include his plan to build a replica of the Titanic. Some of those signs were in the landing areas on the fairways and forced organizers of the championship, which dates to 1905, to mark those areas "ground under repair'' during the tournament.

John Geissinger is in his fourth year as an assistant men's and women's swimming coach at W&L. After two seasons as a non-faculty assistant coach, he was promoted to a faculty assistant position prior to the 2012-13 school year.
Over his first three seasons, the program has achieved some pretty remarkable feats. The women's team has claimed three Old Dominion Athletic Conference titles and has set numerous school records, including seven during the 2012-13 school year alone. The men's team has produced two Top 30 finishes at the NCAA Championships, while five individual swimmers and five relays have received All-America honors for their finishes at NCAA's. Additionally, the men have set five school records over the last two seasons.
Geissinger came to W&L after spending the past year as an intern with IMG Media. A 2009 graduate of Denison University, Geissinger was a four-year member of the swim team. A four-time NCAA Division III Championship qualifier, he earned All-America honors 22 times during his career, setting five Denison records and seven conference records.
The 2009 NCAC Swimmer of the Year, he also helped set the NCAA Division III record in the 800 free relay. Geissinger helped Denison to four Top 3 finishes at the NCAA Championships in addition to the 2009 NCAC title.
He graduated from Denison with a bachelor of arts degree in history.

How are you responding to upset customers?
No matter what you sell or what industry you're in, you're going to experience negative word of mouth.
You know, those customers who are expressing their complaints on social media.
It just happens.
Things break, problems come up and employees have bad days. But it's how you handle it that separates you from everyone else.
Remember: Negative word of mouth is an opportunity.
A great response strategy can convert angry and upset customers into loyal, raving fans. The rule of thumb is that while unhappy customers talk to 5 people, formerly unhappy customers you win back talk to 10.
So get out there and embrace the negativity. Start responding. Here are 10 steps you can take to stop the negative, earn new fans and generate a ton of respect.

Car Review: 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite
Honda didn't hold back when redesigning the 2014 Odyssey, which would have been a safe play, but instead swung for the fences in design and function. We had the opportunity to test the striking 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite while taking a long road trip with six adult-sized passengers (including the driver) to find out what this people mover had to offer. Honda reinforced and expanded upon the vehicle's already great features, including the exceptional value for money that already defines the Odyssey for its target buyer, which is Gen X and Gen Y families.
Refined and youthful, sporty and advanced, the Odyssey's refreshed styling adds new premium elements for 2014. The 2014 Odyssey features sleeker, more sophisticated exterior styling with a new, more deeply sculpted aluminum hood, new aluminum front fenders, a new bolder twin-bar grille and a revised lower front fascia with integrated chrome-trimmed fog lights. New two-tone mirror housings, darker-finish projector-beam headlight housings, LED taillight bars and new badging add to the 2014 Odyssey's premium look. Other notable exterior highlights include new black-trimmed headlights, new available fog lights and black-surround grille for an upscale appearance. New body-color matched side mirrors and additional bright chrome trim add to the premium appearance. New rear styling and LED taillights with clear lenses and eye-catching perimeter "light pipes" add to the polished look.
Weight savings come from the use of aluminum for the hood, front fenders and front suspension lower control arms. The 2014 Odyssey EX, EX-L, Touring and Touring Elite models have a wiper-linked headlight system that automatically turns on the headlights when the front wipers are activated. In addition, new standard one-touch turn signals improve convenience for the driver when making routine lane changes. With this system, one flick of the turn-signal lever provides three blinks of the turn signals – ideal for changing lanes. Pressing the lever past the "click point" provides continuous blinking. A new keyless entry system with push button start on EX, EX-L, Touring and Touring Elite allows the driver to approach the vehicle, open the door and start the engine, all without touching a key. The system only requires the driver have possession of the key fob. The system also simplifies opening the sliding side doors and tailgate; locking all doors when leaving the vehicle requires only touching the lock button on any door handle. We were also impressed with the Odyssey's power moon roof with tilt feature, 18-inch x 7-inch alloy wheels, blind spot information system, front and rear parking sensors, dual power sliding doors, power tailgate, expanded view drivers mirror and heated power door mirrors with turn indicators. Together, the 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite has a look all to her own and really doesn't reveal how much space is inside this modern machine because of the sleek skin and aerodynamic design.
There is that "wow' factor when you first enter the 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite with the enormous amount of cabin space, including the untouchable storage area behind the third-row seating. Inside the 2014 Odyssey, new finishes brighten the cabin and an all-new center stack showcases a host of new features. Additional standard technology on the Odyssey Touring Elite brings new levels of ease and connectivity to owners, including keyless Smart Entry with Push Button Start, HD Radio, an SMS text messaging function and HondaLink featuring Aha Mobile interface. HondaLink, which debuted on the 2013 Honda Accord, enables Odyssey owners to connect quickly and easily to a wealth of cloud-based content. The free HondaLink smartphone app uses the owner's favorite online content to create live, personalized radio stations, allowing drivers to put away their phones and hear updates and news feeds, as well as check out restaurant reviews.

Yesterday, Senator Jeff Sessions called for negotiations over raising the federal debt ceiling to be conducted openly:
The ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee says President Obama needs to bring the negotiations over increasing the debt ceiling out into the open.
"We might as well stake it out publicly to see what the disagreements are," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said Friday in an interview with The Hill. "I believe Majority Leader [Harry] Reid and the president desperately are working not to have to reveal their vision for the future, financially. Their vision will include, from what glimpses we've seen, an advocacy for more taxes and less spending cuts."
Sessions said Democrats have been avoiding making public the negotiations and laying out precisely what they want in a debt-limit package because "what they're advocating for, I don't think would be popular."
I think that is correct. The Democrats want to raise taxes, and they are hoping to emerge from secret negotiations over the debt limit with Republican consent to a tax increase. The Democrats couldn't raise taxes when they controlled both the House and the Senate, and everyone knows that no tax increase will pass today's House. So why would Republicans agree to any tax increases in the context of raising the debt limit? Conducting negotiations in the open would not only expose the Democrats for the would-be tax hikers they are, but would also keep the pressure on Republicans to stick to the principles on which they were elected.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are trying to sell their usual demagogic bill of goods. While it would have virtually no impact on the budget deficit, the Dems are promoting a special tax increase that would be limited to the five largest American oil companies. The increase would take the form of eliminating the manufacturing rate reduction that is received by all manufacturers. It would have the perverse result that the far larger foreign oil companies headquartered in Russia, Brazil, etc. would pay lower taxes on their American operations than the U.S.-based companies do.
As usual, the Democrats have nothing to offer but demagoguery. Let's let their proposals see the light of day.
UPDATE: On Fox this morning, John Thune spoke powerfully on behalf of resolving issues relating to spending and debt through open debate rather than a last-minute, back room deal:

Hull were unable to retake second place in the npower Championship from Leicester as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Peterborough at London Road.
The Foxes moved into the automatic promotion spots with victory over Middlesbrough on Friday night and, although Hull took the lead in the 33rd minute via an own goal from Joe Newell, Posh grabbed a point courtesy of Grant McCann's penalty 11 minutes from time.
Former Eagles boss Dougie Freedman returned to Crystal Palace for the first time with Bolton and came away with a point in a goalless draw.

To qualify for 2009 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, and head restraint tests and must offer electronic stability control.
As an early-introduction 2010 model, this vehicle qualified for the 2009 TOP SAFETY PICK but it doesn't meet the tougher criteria for 2010 TOP SAFETY PICK.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Nissan Versa was introduced in the 2007 model year. The frontal offset crash test ratings apply to both the hatchback and sedan versions of the car through the 2011 model year. Beginning with 2012 models, the sedan was redesigned but the hatchback was not. Therefore the frontal offset ratings detailed below do not apply to the 2012 model sedan.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the dummy's head when it hit the steering wheel through the airbag indicate that head injuries would be possible.
Dummy movement was well controlled. The side curtain and side thorax airbags deployed during the crash. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, its head contacted the side curtain airbag.
How this test is conducted
The Nissan Versa was introduced in the 2007 model year, first as a hatchback and then as a sedan. Beginning with 2007 hatchback models manufactured after November 2006, changes were made to the side torso and side curtain airbags to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
The tested hatchback was manufactured after the modifications had been made. All 2007-10 Versa sedans have the modified side airbags.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength.
A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.

A discussion over who should control South Carolina's court schedules is heading for the state Legislature this week.
COLUMBIA — A discussion over who should control South Carolina's court schedules is heading for the state Legislature this week.
State lawmakers on Tuesday are expected to take up debate on a piece of legislation that would return control to prosecutors with certain protections. The bill, sponsored by dozens of lawmakers — many lawyers and a few former prosecutors among them — removes the word "exclusively" from the state statute governing prosecutors' control of the case management system. It also adds a provision noting that the prosecutor's management of the docket shouldn't in any way interfere with the rights of a person on trial.
Local prosecutors throughout the state have long decided when to call cases to court. But in November, South Carolina's Supreme Court ruled that state law giving local solicitors that power was unconstitutional, siding with public defenders who said the law violates the separation of powers by giving judicial responsibility to a prosecutor, or member of the executive branch.
The court also issued an order putting judges in control of case docketing, a system that had been set to go into effect this week. But after state prosecutors challenged the opinion — solicitors' request for another hearing was ultimately denied — the Supreme Court instead opted to put together a panel to study the best way to manage the state's court calendars.
South Carolina is the only state where prosecutorial control has been set in statute, but two other states also involve prosecutors in docket management, according to the National Center for State Courts. In North Carolina, district attorneys schedule criminal cases, but the court system has ultimate authority over trial calendars. Maryland prosecutors set trial dates, but a county's chief judge can make changes.
Recent legislative efforts in both states to wrest that control from prosecutors completely have been unsuccessful. Many other states previously had such a practice, according to NCSC, but opted decades ago to shift control from prosecutors to within the court system in an effort to improve efficiency.
"For the most part, the practice has been done away with," NCSC analyst Bill Raftery said. "Most states have already had this fight, but they had it 30 years ago."
In many places, Raftery said, prosecutors work with judges on scheduling — something that David Pascoe, a prosecutor currently serving as president of the state's solicitors association, says has been happening anyway throughout the state.
"We set the calendar, but it's ultimately the judge that decides when the case is going to get called," Pascoe said. "Prosecutors don't grant speedy trial motions. We don't grant continuances. All we can do is set an initial date for a case, and then it's up to the defense and the judge on when that case is ultimately called."
Fielding Pringle, chief public defender for Richland County, called the legislative push a waste of taxpayer money.
"The legal community has a responsibility to now come to the table to work together to ... develop a system of docket management that is efficient, just, and fair," she said.
Seventh Circuit Solicitor Barry Barnette said a pilot program launched here in October 2008 created a court controlled docket.
Barnette said Spartanburg is the only county in the state with such a system, which he said has evolved in its efficiency and will remain in place unless the state Legislature or Supreme Court changes the law.
Circuit judges have served as administrative judges while the Clerk of Court's office is in the administrant, Barnette said. His office has input, but Barnette said resident judges — Derham Cole, Roger Couch and Mark Hayes — the clerk of court, prosecutors and defense attorneys work together.
There are initial and second appearances during which time defendants' attorneys disclose potential conflicts, mental health issues and the prosecution shares discovery, Barnette said. A defense attorney can submit paperwork rather than appear in court, which saves time, he said.
At the second appearance, the defendant and their attorney (if they have one) appear in court and the state may make an offer, at which time a defendant can reject or accept the offer and a trial or plea hearing is scheduled.
Ryan McCarty is a former Seventh Circuit assistant solicitor who's now in general practice and criminal defense.
McCarty said the intent is to ensure cases progress, rather than languish in the system.
"It's been a much more efficient system," Spartanburg attorney Michael Brown said.
Brown said the incentive is to resolve cases. He said the defense has to report to the court if the state makes an offer and accept it in a timely manner or prosecutors begin preparing for a case.

does anyone know of a company that offers computers prebuilt with Linux installed as the primary OS? I Know that you can order Dell servers with Red Hat installed and a few IBM and HP servers/desktops come with Linux pre-installed (I think I read that somewhere, correct me if I'm wrong).

text: Doremus and Ogilvy & Mather Published on April 09, 2012. "The "Day Made of Glass' video was a surprise breakout. We originally created this video for Corning's top executives to use as a conversation starter with some of the biggest product design and R&D organizations on the planet. Agencies know that when you have a discussion with clients, you can't architect a viral video. You can't guarantee that it will go viral. That's part of the mystique. We previewed it with a few hundred people who tend to be very chatty in terms of blogging and engaging in social media. That turned out to be a strategic place to start, with all the technology in there that is appealing to people. It's not that far out there. There is no voice-over, and you get to project yourself into it. This fits into the overall corporate communications efforts to demonstrate new applications of Corning glass and fiber optics that make these types of possibilities real. [The video received more than 17 million YouTube views.]" —JOHN MANNION, director-client relations, Doremus, San Francisco "There is a lot of technology marketing out there, and a lot of it is very smart. In order to make a difference [for CDW] and really cut through the clutter, we wanted to bring it down to a human level that is very relatable. We tried to think about the tangible problems every business has—from security threats to data-loss prevention—and turn it into, "What would the problem be like at the North Pole?' For example, having reindeer in the server room getting tangled up in the wires still resembles a real business problem. In order to test the concept, we used our own IT staff. Our IT person is Larry Gordon, and the video did so well, we kept "Larry, the IT elf' for the campaign. In the campaign, Larry tweets about his problems [such as frozen computers], and there are case studies [www.northpoleitelves.com] that show how CDW solves different technology problems. We also launched two TV commercials during "Monday Night Football.' [The video received almost 1 million YouTube views.] " —CHARLES BRANDL, managing supervisor, Ogilvy & Mather, Chicago Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Things aren't always as they seem. For South Carolina pitcher Nolan Belcher, that's been a lesson worth learning.
Things aren't always as they seem. For South Carolina pitcher Nolan Belcher, that's been a lesson worth learning.
What was on the surface a tragic injury that forced the left-hander to miss the entire 2011 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery may have in reality been a blessing in disguise for the Augusta, Ga., native.
The fifth-year senior, who was used mostly as a middle reliever last year, earned the Sunday starting job for the Gamecocks this season and is making the most of his opportunity thus far.
The elder statesman of the USC team is 3-1 on the year with a 1.63 ERA and leads the team in strikeouts with 30, 11 more than any other player.
Last weekend he pitched the decisive game of a three-game set against arch-rival Clemson and threw a complete-game shutout against the Tigers as the Gamecocks took the series 2-1.
He followed that up by pitching seven shutout innings against Rider on Sunday to earn a 1-0 win as USC finished off the series sweep.
Belcher has certainly had an up-and-down career with the Gamecocks, and although it's been hard for him at times, he wouldn't change what he's been through.
"Going through that stuff it really takes a toll on you mentally for sure. To go through something like that it makes you tougher. It kind of makes you put stuff in perspective," he said following USC's 8-0 win over Clemson on March 3. "I think that helped me a lot (last Sunday), especially early in the game, trying to keep my emotions in check. Going through that stuff definitely helped me mentally and I wouldn't change it for anything."
USC head coach Chad Holbrook, who is in his first season as the Gamecocks head coach after joining the program as an assistant beginning in 2009, knows what Belcher has been through and is glad his hard work is paying off.
Last Sunday wasn't the first time Holbrook has been a part of a shutout, but it was one of the more meaningful ones he's witnessed.
"I've been around a few complete games in my day, but it's very special for him and special for me as his coach to see it because I know what he's gone through," Holbrook said. "I know how hard he's worked to get back. I'm sure he at times probably questioned whether he would ever get back to where he was when he got here as a freshman. He's worked his tail off. He loves this program; he loves this university. It means a lot to me as his coach to be able to watch him perform like he did against Clemson."

Every manufacturer put their best effort on their biggest flagships and there is a various reason behind that. The makers want to win the race and want to hold the title of no 1, they want to get the good share from the markets and increase their product users. Here we are comparing two champs Galaxy S6 and Apple iPhone 6. Without any doubt, they are the well-reputed company and they are know how to rule in the market and they give the tough competition to each other. It is quite difficult to choose one as a best. Here we described the features of both smartphones in details.
Design and Build
The first impression is the last true very true and appearance gives the first impression and attracts the users. If Apple is conscious in the making of their handset body that Samsung is interested in increasing the design beauty of their smartphones. For giving the premium look to the smartphones the, both manufacturers used metallic body which is not only mean to give the premium to the mobiles but also boost the endurance of the mobile. According to the dimensions and weight, the Galaxy S6 is but larger than iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 measures 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm and has 138 grams of weight and the iPhone has 129 grams of weight and measures 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm but that does not mean that the Galaxy S6 is not manageable. Both the smartphones are easy to carry and manageable without any hazel.
Display and protection
The second major factor for any mobile is its screen and users specially consider the size of the display, its resolution and its visibility and clarity in bright light. So both the giants try their level best for giving the good display result to the users. The Galaxy S6 is not only large in dimension, but it also has a slightly big screen. The S6 has 5.1 inches screen which provides 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and delivers 577 PPI pixel density and the Apple iPhone 6 has 4.7 inches display which gives 750 x 1334 pixels resolution which gives 326 PPI pixel density to the screen. Both the smartphones screens are protected with the premium protection and no one is less to the other in performance. The Galaxy S6 screen is protected with Gorilla Glass Type 4 which improves the screen ability and, on the other hand, the iPhone 6 display is secured with Shatter proof glass, oleophobic coating. Both the handsets have good display resolution and the results of the screens are impressively clear even in the sunlight.
Operating System and User Interface
Samsung improved the TouchWiz is Galaxy S6 and the interface is clear from the messy apps add the interface is faster than ever and being more simple. The Galaxy S6 runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and in comparison Apple iPhone 6 comes with the latest iOS, which is iOS 8 which is also easy in use and fast in working. However, the operating systems of the both handsets are different but the operating systems of the both are simply good, easy and faster than ever.
Processor and Memory
Processor and memory need more attention and for that both the giants research minutely and made the superfine combination of processor, chipset, GPU, RAM and ROM but in the account of CPU the Galaxy S6 has an upper edge on Apple iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 is featured with Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 2.1 GHz Cortex-A57 processor paired with Exynos 7420 chipset and Mali-T760 and the iPhone 6 is powered with Dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone (ARM v8-based) combined with Apple A8 and has PowerVR GX6450 (quad-core graphics) for handling the graphics. The common factor between both of them are they both used their home-made system on chip but in the account of speed, working ability and CPU cores the Galaxy S6 is much better than iPhone 6.
Now its turn for the RAM and ROM which is the most significant part of the mobile and once again Samsung has the upper position than iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 comes with 3 GB of RAM and three types of ROM options 32,64 and 128 GB and the iPhone 6 was shipped with 1 GB RAM and three types of ROM options 16,64 and 128 GB. Both the devices doest not have the card slot for expanding the ROM externally but in the present options Galaxy S6 have much space than iPhone 6.
Now we are going to discuss one of the most important parts of the handsets which are not only make the users mind for buying the smartphone but also modify the company's milestone. The Samsung again seems better than Apple. The Galaxy S6 have a very good pairs of camera the rear camera of S6 is 16 MP rear camera with 2988 x 5312 pixels, optical image stabilization, autofocus, LED flash, Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, Auto HDR and panorama and 5 MP front-facing camera for taking the selfies with1080p@30fps, dual video call and Auto HDR and iPhone 6 is appeared with 8 MP rear camera with 3264 x 2448 pixels, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash and has 1.2 MP, 720p@30fps, face detection, HDR, Face-Time over Wi-Fi or Cellular front camera. The features of the camera of iPhone 6 are less and the density is also low and will not provide the very good results like Galaxy S6.
What is the benefit if the smartphones have may feature, but the battery is not sufficient and will not give the good backup to the users? The main drawbacks of both the handsets are common that they have the now- removable battery but Samsung has a more powerful battery. Samsung placed Li-Ion 2550 mAh battery which is more in power than iPhone 6 which is embedded with Li-Po 1810 mAh battery (6.9 Wh). The other mark able difference found between them is that the Galaxy S6 offers the rapid and wireless charging. The handset battery rapidly charged with the specially designed charger which charges the 50% battery in few minutes.
Special Features
There is no doubt that both smartphones are fully packed with the many good features but the security is the main option as well for making the smartphone more personal. The Galaxy S6 is protect with Fingerprint sensor which is PayPal certified and has the option of Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified) and the other giant iPhone 6 has Fingerprint sensor Touch ID which is perform Apple Pay (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX certified). By using this protection and payment feature users can secure their smartphones form the others with the fingerprint impression and pay their bills without going any bank.
Final Words
We describe minutely every feature above and as a result or a conclusion we find that the Galaxy S6 is much better than iPhone 6. The galaxy S6 has a powerful and fast processor, massive RAM, and well enough ROM. The camera features of Galaxy S6 are improved satisfy and enhance and have the powerful battery which gives the sufficient backup to the handset and users are quite satisfied with the performance.

By Dave Graham
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Two companies in Mexico which won a surprise $2.7 billion preliminary judgment against Yahoo Inc <YHOO.O> in a contractual dispute said on Wednesday they are willing to settle for less money, which might avoid a long legal battle.
The ruling by the 49th Civil Court of the Federal District of Mexico City, which was issued on Friday and perplexed the tech world, involves allegations of breach of contract related to an online yellow pages listings service, according to Yahoo.
The lawsuit was filed in November 2011 by Worldwide Directories S.A. de C.V. and Ideas Interactivas S.A. de C.V. against Yahoo and Yahoo de Mexico.
Carlos Bazan-Canabal, who says he is a partner in both firms and is named as their strategic planning director in copies of the court ruling obtained by Reuters, said the plaintiffs were prepared to listen if Yahoo made an offer.
"If we can reach a settlement with an interesting number, we would go for it," Bazan-Canabal told Reuters, adding it could be for less than the preliminary award. "It's up to them."
"If there's no intention from Yahoo to get a hold of us and potentially reach a settlement, we will pursue all roads both in Mexico and around the world where we might be entitled to compensation," added Bazan-Canabal, who has been meeting lawyers in the United States this week about the dispute.
Bazan-Canabal, who noted there were "less than five" people behind the case against Yahoo, said there were still damages in the suit that had not yet been calculated.
"This potentially could go up to over $3.5 billion," said Bazan-Canabal, a former employee of Yahoo de Mexico.
Yahoo believes it has "numerous" grounds to appeal, including both errors in procedure and in application of law, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Yahoo was dismissive of the settlement offer.
"We're not going to comment on our legal strategy, beyond the fact that we believe the claims are without merit and will vigorously pursue an appeal," a company spokeswoman said.
A JPMorgan analyst said the judgment, if sustained, would cost the company an estimated 40 percent of its 2012 cash balance, as projected by the bank.
Despite the court's judgment, the ruling noted that Yahoo's objections had been "partially well founded."
Bazan-Canabal said the dispute centered on agreements signed between Yahoo de Mexico and Ideas Interactivas between 2002 and 2004 over a venture for an online business search function "Yahoo! Paginas Utiles" as well as printed volumes.
Yahoo Inc. also entered into agreements with the Mexican company in those years, the court documents showed.
After initial success with the yellow pages search project, the two sides agreed to extend the model to other parts of the world including Puerto Rico, Central America, Australia and Japan, Bazan-Canabal said. But Yahoo later notified Ideas Interactivas it was terminating the deal, he added.
The joint agreement had been due to last until 2009, with options to extend it into 2011, he said. Breaking the deal caused Ideas Interactivas to go bankrupt, Bazan-Canabal said.
"We weren't able to update listings and so forth, and that brought as a consequence us being in default with our advertisers," he added, noting that Ideas Interactivas had more than 300 employees in Mexico in 2004.
The ruling said the damages awarded to the plaintiffs include a $2.4 billion sum related to alleged non-compliance with agreements, covenants and non-disclosure agreements or confidentiality agreements linked to the joint expansion plans.
It also orders the return of the original database owned by Ideas Interactivas and Worldwide Directories, which Bazan-Canabal said was set up as a holding company for the former.
The ruling also says Yahoo de Mexico filed a counterclaim against Worldwide Directories, seeking damages relating to advertising rights and other alleged infringements.
Any appeal by Yahoo is expected to be heard by a panel of three judges in a superior court in Mexico City.
An official at the district court in Mexico City said Yahoo had until about January 11 to appeal.
Bazan-Canabal, who operates a host of websites, said he joined Yahoo in 1999 and later helped to launch Yahoo de Mexico.
A Yahoo spokeswoman confirmed he worked for Yahoo de Mexico, but declined to comment further.
Yahoo's most recent 10Q filing, which lists major ongoing legal proceedings, makes no mention of the lawsuit.
Shares of Yahoo fell 0.2 percent to close at $18.89 on Nasdaq.

SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) — A former "Melrose Place" actress was driving drunk when her speeding SUV plowed into a turning car, killing a woman, but her lawyer has tried to convince a jury that others are to blame for the fatal crash and that what happened was an accident, not a crime.
Jury deliberations began Tuesday afternoon in state Superior Court in the aggravated manslaughter trial of Amy Locane-Bovenizer, 40, whose blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit when the crash occurred on a dark two-lane road in central New Jersey in 2010.
The defense agreed that Locane-Bovenizer was driving under the influence of alcohol. But her attorney sought to shift blame for the crash to a third motorist whose car she had rear-ended and who had been pursuing the actress — and also to the husband of the car accident victim for making what witnesses said was a slow, deliberate turn into his driveway.
Helene Seeman was killed in the crash, and her husband, Fred Seeman, was seriously injured.
"Nobody relishes standing up here blaming a man who tragically lost his wife," the defense attorney, Ellen Torregrossa-OConnor, said in closing arguments Monday. "However, in this accident, Mr. Seeman was in some way at fault for the actual collision."
Locane-Bovenizer faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of aggravated manslaughter and assault-by-auto charges. Separate motor vehicle counts related to her drunken driving are to be heard in a separate case. She did not testify during the trial.
To prove her guilty of aggravated manslaughter, the prosecution must not only show she caused Seeman's death, but also that she did so under circumstances showing extreme indifference to human life and by acting recklessly.
The actress appeared in 13 episodes of the TV series "Melrose Place" and in movies including "Cry-Baby," ''School Ties" and "Secretary."
Now a mother of two living in Hopewell Township and acting in community theater, she had begun drinking the night of the accident at a cast party, testimony showed. Witnesses said she also drank at a barbecue she later attended with her family before leaving on her own.
The prosecutor said Locane-Bovenizer sought to blame everyone but herself for the accident, and had an obligation to yield to the turning car, but she "didn't have the cognitive perception to see the other car."
The defense sought to place much of the blame on the accident on the third motorist, Maureen Ruckelshaus, whose vehicle the former actress had rear-ended minutes before the fatal crash.
Ruckelshaus pursued Locane-Bovenizer in her van after the fender-bender. She testified that she asked another motorist behind them to call police because she had left her cellphone at home, then told the clearly intoxicated driver to turn off her SUV, but that the woman drove off.
"I knew how drunk she was," Ruckelshaus testified. "My reaction was, 'Oh my God, I have to figure out a way to get her to pull over.'"
The defense portrayed Ruckelshaus as a vigilante who frightened the former actress by trying to grab her keys from the ignition and then giving chase. The defense said Locane-Bovenizer even offered Ruckelshaus her cellphone to call police.
Ruckelshaus denied reaching in for the keys. "I said, 'I don't want your cellphone. ... I want you to turn your car off,'" she testified.
Ruckelshaus followed the former actress for about four miles, with both going about the speed limit of 35 mph for most of the way until a car in front of them moved out of the way and Locane-Bovenizer accelerated to more than 50 mph, according to evidence presented at the trial.
"The defense is trying to shift the blame onto everybody else," Assistant Prosecutor Matthew Murphy said during closing arguments. "But who was the hazard on the roadway? Was it Maureen Ruckelshaus? No. Was it Fred Seeman? No. It was the intoxicated driver. She was the hazard."

Depeche Mode, "Delta Machine" (Columbia Records)
If you haven't caught up with Depeche Mode since "Catching up With Depeche Mode" or other collections from the band's 1980s and early '90s heyday of synthesizer-drenched, impossibly addictive pop, it's time to check in.
The British modern rock trio's 13th studio album, "Delta Machine," presents a group that's older, wiser and evolving. There's not, at least on initial listens, an abundance of hooks. While the ear-candy quotient might be lower than on records of yore, the result encourages — and often rewards — deeper listening.
The men who once made many music fans fear the demise of the guitar have become masters of their electronic machines — in part by recognizing when less is more. The spare, industrial start of "Welcome to My World" gives way to the strains of choral string sounds in a section that sonically and lyrically recalls 1990's "World in My Eyes." ''Broken" opens with disjointed, tinny sounds that retreat to the background and provide a discordant twist to an otherwise catchy, straightforward chorus.
Other standouts include the more traditionally modal "Secret to the End," with a theatrical lead vocal by frontman Dave Gahan, and the bluesy, snaky "Slow."

Verizon Wireless CEO, Lowell McAdam confirmed in an interview today that they are working on an Android powered tablet computer with Google.
Google and Verizon have certainly had a lucrative partnership with Android thus far and Verizon's advertising for the Motorola Droid is all the average consumer knows of the Android platform. Beyond that Verizon is of course the largest carrier in the U.S. so for a whole host of reasons they are the logical partner for a 3G powered Google tablet.
Unfortunately no details regarding a release date, manufacturer or specifications were forthcoming at the moment so we are left to speculate on our own.
As we discussed in the post on Google Editions; Google has been making a lot of moves that will be critical for the success of an Android tablet including their streaming video options, e-reader solutions, a touch friendly OS skin in BumpTop, and Flash and Air support to offer a complete web experience.
That just leaves us the hardware to speculate on; so what does your dream Android tablet look like and what does it have going on under the hood?
Update: A spokesman for Verizon, Marquett Smith, stated in a phone interview today that they will be releasing additional details regarding the tablet later this week. That places an announcement just days prior to Google I/O which may mean that we are finally going to see some tablet talk from the big G themselves (perhaps one of those TBA mystery sessions).
We're looking at all the things Google has in its archives that we could put on a tablet to make it a great experience. Lowell McAdamCEO Verizon Wireless

Rocky has had an eye infection for about a week now it has just spread to the other eye. they are red and oozing green junk. I have been flushing with saline and holding hot compresses on it. I have ordered an eye ointment from over seas because you normally have to have a prescription for it.
has anyone experienced anything similar or have any ideas.

Re: Eye infection
I would schedule a vet appointment asap, and I would not self medicate.

Re: Eye infection
You definitely need to see a vet. Eye problems are never something to wait around with. Treating with the wrong ointment can really mess up the eyes too. Your vet can stain the eye to look for corneal ulcers and prescribe an appropriate medication.
Re: Eye infection
Please take your dog to the vet for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. You can cause more damage by self medicating with the wrong ointment.

Re: Eye infection
If your dog develops an ulcer from the infection, or a scratch from rubbing the eye and you administer the wrong ointment, your dog could develop severe ulceration and lose the eye. I've seen it happen in 48 hours when owners didn't think it was a big deal.
The surgery to save a ruptured eye runs about $2500 and the surgery to remove a blind and worthless eye is about $600-1200 depending on your area.
Don't play Russian roulette with your dogs vision. It could be nothing or it could be REALLY serious.

Good to hear! Let us know what you find out! =)
Re: Eye infection
the vet said it was just allergies because there was no scratch that they could see and scratches are not contagious so it wouldnt be in both eyes. he was prescribed to a antibiotic-allergy-steroid ointment to clear up infection if there is any and to take down redness and inflamation.
Re: Eye infection
Thats great, I'm glad it wasn't a more serious issue! Does it look like its improved any today since you've started the prescription?
Re: Eye infection
almost completely gone. im going to continue to use the medication for a little while longer.
Re: Eye infection
aren't you supposed to use the mediction until the medicine is gone?
Re: Eye infection
no the vet said 10 days and gave me a refill just in case
