Dear Occupy Wall Street,
62 comments:
thank you!ReplyDelete
Peace is good, and so is love. But what do we want from Wall Street and our governments?Delete
"Why can't we voice a path towards our objectives? It is because we have been told that ideas such as Globalization and the consequent free movement of capital and labour are inevitable, good ideas.
Why are we paralysed? We are paralysed because if you believe in Globalization you cannot fully regulate the banks or limit top salaries. If you believe in Globalisation you cannot have a vibrant national culture and you cannot truly be Green. The current economic slump is due to globalisation but no one bothers to look at the data because they are believers. Our paralysis is due to our beliefs being out of step with our own reality. We have second hand beliefs fed to us by the governing classes. We have been convinced by the media that Globalisation is almost "holy" when it is itself the problems we are confronting. " See The Occupy London Movement.
Awestruck. You put into words exactly what I have been feeling.ReplyDelete

Hmm. The capitalists have tanks. Soldiers will use them.ReplyDelete
The priority is tackling the issue of the prevailing common sense in the homes of those who might raise soldiers or take out a pension whose fund invests in stock.
Any occupation needs to understand this, and be geared to that end - not constructed as an end in itself. As such, it needs strategic political ends beyond just the tactical. But there is no leadership, public face, common forum, wider policy, or common strategy. There is no implication or synthesis. Just a cycle of action, frustration, action, frustration.
The crisis at present therefore exists entirely in that "the old is dying, but the new cannot be born". Morbid symptoms indeed. Change is required.
Strategically, how this comes together remains a mystery to me. So I'm going to have a yoghurt.
@Transatlantic, 'viva la excruciating stasis' and 'viva la bemusement' are both (lamentably) less romantic, but IMO rather more applicable. :-/ReplyDelete
Thank you. You've have said everything I've been wanting to put into words. Beautifully said!ReplyDelete
We will all be watching early tomorrow morning to see what our next step is, once again taking our cue from New York. I'm nervous, but excited.
Thank you, Penny Red, for keeping us enthralled, informed, outraged and delighted.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Occupy Wall Street, for your bravery and your sanity.
In solidarity and a little trepidation ... Chrissie

As always, well said.ReplyDelete
Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand what the aim and purpose of the movement is exactly. What do they hope to achieve? What do the occupiers want to see happen?ReplyDelete
It doesn't seem like most of the people protesting are among the starving masses. Really the protests hurt more than just the Wall Street/financial big-wigs in that there are many smaller investors and retirees who have money in the market. Must they be pushed into the poorhouse for the wants (not needs, but wants) of this group?
In ten years what is it that the group hopes will exist? What system do they hope to see replace what is there?
Again, I mean these as serious questions because I am trying to understand, and don't.
Tillie, if you want to understand, look at this blog:ReplyDelete
What the protesters "want" is a roof over their heads, food on their table, healthcare without bankruptcy, education without crushing amounts of debt.
Some of those *are* needs, not wants. And the wants strike me as being relatively basic provisions of civilized society. Nobody is asking for luxuries. What they are asking for is basic human dignity.
Record numbers of Americans are living in poverty, are on food stamps, are without health insurance, and are unemployed. Meanwhile the American government bails out banks to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars (and the Federal Reserve shells out $16 trillion to banks, according to a recent audit). Trillions more are spent on waging senseless, illegal wars abroad. The top 1% of the country controls 43% of the wealth; the next 9% controls another 40%, and the bottom 90% control only 17%.
This has to stop, and the system that brings it about must be stopped. The protests are simultaneously expressions of outrage and assertions of the sovereignty and solidarity of the people.
Hopefully that answers your questions.
You're awesome, Penny Red.ReplyDelete
Tillie, to answer you succinctly, they are protesting against economic injustice that fuelled this recession.ReplyDelete
Also, yay! The eviction has been moved back. :)
Thank you for your continued reporting and presence.ReplyDelete
As of October 17th occupy Wall Street overcame the Bloomberg "power washers" which I suppose can be seen in a double sense.ReplyDelete
Around the country and here in the Midwest USA we turned out 250 for the day.
As with the Madison WI protests in March, I'm reminded of a favorite quote from Howard Zinn.
In addressing his students at Howard University during the Civil Rights movement he said that as arriving graduates they had the choice of teaching history or making history.
I hope more people make the choice to make history.
As always, will read In The Red in the New Statesman to continue with Laurie Penny's take on things as they develop.
Thanks for speaking my mind - and so movingly.ReplyDelete
I posted a 13 minute film I made of the Occupy Perth, Australia action at my blog.ReplyDelete

Is it wrong to point out that actually, 'the whole world' isn't watching?ReplyDelete
I'm just not sure this type of self-conscious hyperbole really does anyone any good. You might as well have just wanked all over the screen and published that.
I remember the days when this blog used to be good. What happened to you, Penny Red?

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMENReplyDelete
Why American men should boycott American women
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
BRAND NEW: Buy the Boycott American Women book. After reading this book, I promise you that you will never even think about dating an American woman ever again, or else I will give you your money back. That's right, if you are not convinced by my book, I will give you a full refund!

Please also take the time to read a FREE short 100 page book called "Living Free in a Fem-Nazi World". This book is about freeing you from the fem-nazi, fem-fascist state you live in to live your life as you choose. This book will show you how to no longer be subject to the fem-nazi 'legislation' that claims you are a slave with no rights at all.
After reading this short 100 page book, you will understand how to become completely legally free of the feminist legal system worldwide. That is, no woman will ever be able to persecute you or harm you through false DV charges, false rape accusations, feminist divorce courts, etc. In short, you will indeed be a free man in a world of feminism, free and safe from being harmed by feminism.

Here are 30 similarities between feminism and Nazism.ReplyDelete
Feminism and Nazism have both ...
1. discriminated against individuals on the basis of their genetic code.
2. promoted the view that the targeted group was inferior genetically and behaviourally, e.g. see AH's Men Bear a Striking Resemblance to Slugs.
3. promoted propaganda that led to the targeted group being labeled as 'parasites', e.g. see AH's Steven Jones - A Parasite?
4. promoted propaganda that led to the targeted group being constantly ridiculed e.g. see Incredible Shrinking Y by Maureen Dowd
5. promoted propaganda that led to the targeted group being laughed at even when mutilated e.g. Bobbit jokes.
6. demonised the target group by labeling them as perverts and sexual criminals, e.g. see Put Up or Shut Up by Wendy McElroy
7. sought to break the target group away from their families e.g. see The Federal Bureau of Marriage? by Professor Stephen Baskerville.
8. promoted the view that the targeted group was responsible for most of the major ills in society.
9. disseminated lies and disinformation about the targeted group in order to further promote their own ideology, e.g. see Msinformation by Professor Christina Hoff Sommers
10. disseminated lies and disinformation about historical matters, e.g. see AH's Did Women Really Want To Go Out To Work?
11. used intimidation, threats and coercion to prevent their opponents from speaking out e.g. see AH's Feminists are nasty things.
12. promoted the lie that the privileged group consisted of innocent 'victims' of the targeted group e.g. "women have been oppressed throughout history."
13. demanded special privileges in the workplace for members of the privileged group e.g. preferential job placements for women
14. discriminated against the targeted group in educational matters and in the workplace e.g. see AH's Well Done the Girls?
15. perverted the justice system so that members of the targeted group were easily discriminated against in the law e.g. in family courts.
16. arranged matters so that accusers from the privileged group could be shielded by anonymity in the courtroom e.g. in sex-assault cases.
17. arranged matters so that defendants from the targeted group had to 'prove' their innocence e.g. in sex-assault and domestic violence cases.
18. arranged matters so that members of the privileged group could capriciously define what, legally, was to be deemed 'a crime', e.g. where nowadays the 'feelings' of women rather than the behaviours of men are the determinants of what constitutes 'a crime' e.g. see The Real Goal Of Feminism by Antonia Feitz - 18 min
19. arranged matters so that members of the privileged group could capriciously define how the law was to view certain matters e.g. a fetus inside a woman can now be deemed by her - at her whim - to be a worthless piece of tissue or a prospective baby - with all the ramifications of this - regardless of how the father might feel about it all e.g. see AH's Rant Against the Child Support Agency. (Also sexual harassment etc.)
20. arranged matters so that the law punished members of the targeted group more severely than members of the privileged group for the very same crime e.g. in domestic violence and murder cases.
21.arranged matters so that members of the targeted group were made responsible for the choices and behaviours of members of the privileged group e.g. in paternity fraud cases where duped fathers still have to pay child support.
- Anonymous8 November 2011 at 15:38
22. arranged matters so that members of the privileged group who harmed, or even murdered, members of the targeted group were shown undue leniency - and were often actually applauded for their actions, e.g. see Killer given domestic violence award and AH's Loose Women.ReplyDelete
23. arranged matters so that the law punished members of the targeted group severely for even trivial offences - e.g. domestic violence, sexual harassment.
24. arranged matters so that members of the privileged group earned a right to the property of members of the targeted group for no other reason than that they were members of the privileged group e.g. alimony, child custody.
25. arranged matters so that certain speech or attitudes directed against the privileged group were criminalised e.g. biased 'hate speech' laws.
26. demanded subservience to the prevailing ideology and to the government.
27. effectively controlled the mainstream media and the academic institutions and arranged for them to present a dishonest and dishonourable point of view in support of their ideology.
28. consistently highlighted and exaggerated the achievements and the suffering of the privileged group while downplaying the achievements and the suffering of the targeted group e.g. see Human Rights are not for Men by Melanie Phillips.
29. ran government-funded educational courses in universities (e.g. Women's Studies, Title IX) and in schools to promote the privileged group at the expense of the targeted group.
30. persisted in a long term campaign of hatred toward the targeted group, e.g. "Women need men like a fish needs a bicycle." "Men think about sex every 15 seconds." etc. Also see AH's Permanent Menstrual Tension.

Western women are the most evil scum on the planet. Hundreds of millions of western men have had their lives destroyed by western women through the following crimes:ReplyDelete
1. False rape accusations (it has been proven that up to 80 percent of rape accusations are FALSE)
2. False DV charges (same as above)
3. Financial RAPE of men in divorce courts
4. Emotional destruction of men by ex-wives who have stolen their children from them and forbidden contact
5. Divorced dads who commit suicide as a result
Now, how many western women do you know who have PROTESTED and CONDEMNED the western women who committed these crimes? I know of NONE. That means, 99.9% of western women SUPPORT these crimes against fathers and men by default. Silence means consent.
Therefore, it is NOT an exaggeration to say that western women are evil, monstrous scum that needs to be flushed down the toilet. My suggestion to all men who are reading this, NEVER MARRY A WESTERN WOMAN!
Western women claim equality, but they refuse to demand EQUAL punishments to men. If a man kills someone, he will get 20 years in jail. If a woman kills someone, she will get maybe 5 years in jail. HOW IS THIS EQUALITY?
Western women are the biggest hypocrites on earth, and they are evil vicious scum that ENJOY destroying men's lives. Therefore, STAY AWAY FROM WESTERN WOMEN LIKE THE PLAGUE!

This is how women talk about me. How about you women start to pull you women sisters up on the hateful bile they spew at us men, eh?
And you might also get them to stop the slander of calling men like me paedophiles, wife beaters and dead beat dads. A man who is a paedophile or wife beater is a criminal. So any such allegation that is baseless is slander, a crime.
Here you go. This is what HATE SPEECH looks like.

Yeah, I think Hillary's got this. Trump's a douche.
Hillary Wins - Trump sues
Hillary Wins - Trump incites violence (but concedes)
Trump Wins - Hillary has a stroek
Trump Wins - Hillary concedes gracefully
Meteor wins - concession not needed
I don't think Trump will incite violence on any scale. He'll babble some shit, but the people that support him won't do shit.
"Complaining is the modern metagame" - BNet forums
Supposedly he has had his twitter account taken away, so he might not even do that. I think his staff either anticipated a meltdown, or didn't want him constantly growing new feet to stick in his mouth.
I've got a third possibility: Trump loses, quietly disappears. I have to wonder if the pressure and anxiety has gotten to him yet. He might (might) wash his hands of the entire thing and just go back to being a rich guy. Find something he can say he won and conveniently forget this ever happened.
I'm going to say this is a possibility if he is resoundingly beaten though. If there is the slightest bit of wiggle room for him to contest it, he likely will.

This poll makes most of us look really stupid.
Oh we don't need a poll for that!
Ehh, the polls came out to say she would win between 2 in 3 times, to ~4 in 5 times. Both of those still leave a lot of room for a Trump win, especially if he loses the Popular vote.
"Complaining is the modern metagame" - BNet forums
I was prepared for the possibility, but I didn't think it would really happen.
Can I change my vote to meteor?
'This world may be another planet's hell.'{Aldous Huxley}
'After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.'{Aldous Huxley}
I voted Johnson because it was quicker than writing in meteor...
In a few thousand years the sun is going to get bigger and swallow us whole anyway, which is sort of like a meteor!
The actual result was:
Hillary Wins - Trump sues
Hillary Wins - Trump incites violence (but concedes)
Trump Wins - Hillary has a stroek
Trump Wins - Hillary concedes gracefully
Meteor wins - concession not needed
Trump wins - Hillary does not concede gracefully, left-wing has a collective meltdown and Soros incites violence.
It would be funny if the direction this country is headed was not so terrifying. The intellectuals and thought-leaders on the left and in the media have had 8 years of Obama to engage in and promote civil engagement with the intellectual right and reign in their own identity-obsessed extremist progressives. They've had 8 years to demonstrate benevolence and push agendas in only accordance with liberal principles like free speech, tolerance, open-mindedness, and non-aggression. Instead they have doubled-down on propaganda, dishonesty, and abused every shred of authority and economic advantage they could get hold of to zealously drive their ideological narratives. The moderates have consistently covered for these radicals, letting them run amok while using them for their own political ends. They ignore or mock the victims crying about injustice and freaze peech, merely because they're ideological opponents. The party establishment has even (as was proven by Project Veritas) deliberately instigated the craziest ones to incite real violence for political ends.
Eamin says the best thing that came out of this election was repudiation of the identity politics on the left. Be that as it may, I think it is too late for that. The alt-right is already far too cohesive and determined to finish the war that the SJWs started. While I'm willing to bet Trump is more moderate than any of you imagine, even he may not be able to do much to stop the alt-right now that it has momentum. Now, the left-wing media will have a real enemy again and so now they'll believe they're extra double-plus justified in using lies, propaganda, censorship, and other dirty tricks to defeat the alt-right. The two sides will keep fighting and will keep dragging other people into it.
The only way out of this mess is for the people with power and influence (big money and media) to start practicing truth, honesty, sincerity, integrity, objectivity, justice, and real tolerance; and for the people themselves to demand it. But that will never happen. What's happening now is just more self-serving narratives. Now the media is pushing "fake news." Beware the fake news! But what they're really doing is just trying to silence competition, and it's not going to work. That will just be yet another escalation in this culture war and the alt-media will just answer with their own counter-attack. It's just going to keep escalating. Remember, the ctrl-left has ALREADY engaged in political violence in the US. In Europe, where the foolhardy progressive open-borders policies and emotional blackmail by the media led to the migrant crisis (which can also be blamed on Hillary and Obama for destabilizing Syria and Libya), the increasingly desperate far right is also turning to criminal activity. If no one in power is willing to cut it out with the partisan bullshit (and COMMIT to the neutrality rather than just sneak back into one-sided propaganda (eg Snopes, The Daily Show)) then this is going to keep escalating.
This is fucking bad. Trump is not bad. Seriously, he is not that bad. It could be so much worse. In fact it WILL be so much worse if the ivory bubble left doesn't pull its god damn head out of its ass yesterday. In fact, it may be already too late.

Is reading something you're incapable of, or just an ability you choose not to practice?
They are taking part in the recount, but they made it clear that they don't expect the results to change. Since a recount is happening, they will be part of the process, that's all.
Source :https://medium.com/@marceelias/liste...a39#.89x0kosuo"Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves**, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides."
"Complaining is the modern metagame" - BNet forums
Wait what? Did not concede gracefully? Goladus, you are in way too deep and are not being objective. You sound just as crazy as the liberals convinced the world is going to end any moment now.
P.S. Fake news is not a new problem, but it certainly is a problem. The media talking about it while trying to make sense of things is not some kind of conspiracy. We don't really need people voting for friggin' wolf boy in 2020.

When a dad found his 13-year-old son's malware-infested porn stash, he wrote a the kid a letter and posted it on Reddit; it quickly became one of the site's most popular posts. In the letter, he tells his kid that porn is A-OK but the computer-killing spam that often comes with it isn't; therefore, the son should look up porn on the included list of dad-approved porn sites. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than walking in on your parents having sex in the middle of your first day of school in front of the guy you have a crush on. Tough call.
I'm all for parents being open about sexuality with their children; my parents avoided the subject and so I didn't even know where the penis resided on the male body until I was about 15, but I kinda wish this father had added a p.s. that was like, "p.s. Watching this shit when you're so young will only leave you with bizarre and hilarious expectations of what sex is and should you ever 'get with' ('cool dad' vernacular!) another human being, you're gonna be really confused about what's happening. Also, respect women. PEACE!" You know?
I'm not the only self-proclaimed sexpert (ugh) who thinks that — Amy Lang, a sexual health educator, told Salon, "Internet porn is generally way too much information about sex for a 13-year-old boy. He really doesn't have the emotional or intellectual ability to make sense of what he's viewing."
I think it's cool that the dad is hoping he did the right thing and reaching out for advice, even if it is to Reddit, and it's definitely good that we're dialoguing about this stuff, but man, it was so much easier when we had to steal issues of Playgirl from the grocery store and rub up against lamp posts to figure this shit out.
I found porn on my son's internet broswer. Did I go about his correctly? [Reddit]

OAKLAND -- Missed opportunities and the inability to deliver a knockout blow doomed the A's on Monday night against Texas.
While the Rangers made the most of their chances, Oakland left too many runs out on the field in a 4-3 loss that was decided in the final stages.View Full Game Coverage
Ultimately, Donnie Murphy's eighth-inning RBI single against Sean Doolittle broke up a 3-3 tie and gave Texas the comeback victory. A couple of former A's proved to be the heroes for the Rangers as Murphy drove home the resurgent Kevin Kouzmanoff for the game-winning run with the infield playing in.
"Very competitive game," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "About as close as you can get."
Oakland's lineup made Texas ace Yu Darvish labor in the early stages of the game, driving his pitch count up to 47 after just two frames. But the star righty, who brought a lot of heat on his fastball all night, settled down and kept his Rangers in the game before they came back to win against Oakland's vaunted bullpen.
Darvish had his work cut out for him early. Behind a Brandon Moss solo shot and a two-run single from Coco Crisp, the A's took an early 3-1 lead after two innings. But Darvish wiggled his way out of a couple jams and tossed a season-high 116 pitches across six innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out six.
"We had him on the ropes," Melvin said.
Oakland threatened again in the fourth inning, loading the bases with red-hot Josh Donaldson at the plate, but the A's third baseman struck out swinging on a slider to end the scoring chance.
Not to mention Jed Lowrie led off the ninth by reaching on a two-base throwing error, but he was stranded there representing the tying run after Joakim Soria retired the next three A's to secure his fourth save of the year.
"More times than not I feel like we're going to come through in those situations," Donaldson said. "Tonight was just one of those days where it didn't happen."
But Donaldson gave credit where it's due, saying Darvish "beared down" on a night when the A's were making him work early and often.
"The guy's good," Donaldson said. "He's not just your run-of-the-mill guy."
After some early action from Oakland's lineup, this game was eventually knotted in the middle innings before the Rangers jumped ahead for good.
Shin-Soo Choo gave the Rangers an early 1-0 advantage when he took A's starter Dan Straily deep during the game's first at-bat, marking his 12th career leadoff home run. But Straily was able to settle down after that, keeping the Rangers in check until reigning American League Player of the Week Kouzmanoff drove home Prince Fielder with an RBI single in the fourth.
Straily wasn't able to escape a two-out jam in the fifth without damage, either, allowing three straight singles to let the Rangers to tie the game at 3. In all, Straily went five innings, giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six.
"Definitely gave them more opportunities than I should have," Straily said. "Really, in the fifth inning I should have been off the field, but three hits in a row, just couldn't keep the ball down. Not great by any means, but kept us in the ballgame as best I could and gave it everything I had."
Straily has been an inconsistent performer for the A's so far in this young year. While he shined in Minnesota on April 10 with a seven-inning, one-run performance in an Oakland victory, he's been knocked around a bit at times, too. In four starts this season, Straily is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 21 strikeouts and six walks in 21 2/3 innings of work.
"Tonight I was battling myself," Straily said. "Couldn't get ahead of guys very well."
But it was Doolittle who was kicking himself in the clubhouse after the game for giving up the winning hit to Murphy. Doolittle said he thought made a good pitch, but that Murphy made a nice adjustment to shorten up his swing and drive it up the middle with the infield in.
"Any time you hand it over to our bullpen," Doolittle said, "we feel like we're going to be able to hold them and it's only going to be a matter of time before our offense finds a way to push across a run. I've got to be better than that. That can't happen."
If there is any silver lining to the loss for the A's, which dropped their record to 13-6, it's that they've been competitive in every contest so far this year. Each of the six defeats have come by two runs or less, and they're the only MLB team that hasn't lost by at least three runs so far in 2014.
The A's and Rangers figure to be major players in the race for the American League West crown this season, and if Monday's contest was any indication, it will be a heated competition until October.
"It was a huge win, especially at the start of a roadtrip," Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "Every game is tough, especially here. We haven't had a lot of luck here so it means a lot to come in here and get that first win. But we have to continue to play good baseball."

Time Management Tips
Get More Done in a Day
Balancing your time isn't always the easiest task. DailyWorth shares the best times of day for you to do everything from drinking coffee to visiting the doctor.
The Other Clock
Ever notice how coffee can sometimes give you the jitters, while other times, you can drink a whole pot and still stifle yawns? Or how you kill your to-do list with ease some days and, other days, find it hard to get through even the easiest tasks?
RELATED: The Key to Productivity
You can thank (or blame!) your biological clock for those times you feel really "on" and the times when you're feeling a little off, according to productivity research. There are teams of scientists, researchers, and doctors who are studying "chronobiology," or how to get the optimal performance out of your body's natural rhythm. Here's how to capitalize on the best times of day to knock to-do items off your list.
Daybreak: Pay Bills
Or clean the bathroom. Ideally, you should tackle any task that you really don't like doing when you first get up because we're are at our happiest and most optimistic first thing in the morning, according to Cornell research published in Science. After tracking worldwide usage of Twitter conversations of 2.4 million social media users, the study authors found that people are the most cheery and tweet their most upbeat statuses in the morning.
So capitalize on your feel-good mood by doing the things that can make us grumpy (like paying bills). By the way, scientists have also identified which days give us the most smiles (and it's no surprise): "People are happier on weekends, but the morning peak in positive affect is delayed by two hours, which suggests that people awaken later on weekends."
Early Morning: See Your Doctor
It may mean you'll have to skip the gym or show up at work a little late, but if you have to see the doctor, aim to be her first appointment of the day. According to a study in The American Journal of Gastroenterology, doctors are less likely to detect warning signs, like cancerous polyps, later in the day because of fatigue. You're also likely to spend less time waiting with an early appointment.
Midmorning: Check Off Detail-Oriented Tasks
According to a Pennsylvania State University study published in Experimental Brain Research on alertness in 80 subjects, you'll able to do more accurate work and focus better if you get to it early. The study authors found that optimal accomplishment happened around 8 a.m. and declined between noon and 4 p.m., especially after eating a meal.
Late Morning or Late Afternoon: Drink Coffee
Maybe that wake-up cup of joe isn't the best idea. According to scientists who study chronopharmacology — the study of how time of day may affect drugs' impact on your body — you may be wasting your caffeine on the mornings when you're naturally the most alert. Instead, save it for after 9:30 a.m. and after 2 p.m., two times of day when you naturally begin to feel lethargic.
Late Afternoon to Evening: Do Creative Work
After knocking out your detailed-oriented tasks in the morning, how do you deal with fatigue in the afternoons? Is there nothing else you can work on? Turns out, this is the best time to explore more open-ended problem solving. Fatigue makes us come up with more creative solutions, found Albion College research published in Thinking & Reasoning. When you have what the researchers called "reduced inhibitory control," then "results showed consistently greater insight problem solving performance during nonoptimal times of day."
Early Evening: Take Your Medicine and Work Out
If you or someone you know is taking medications to help reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke, for example, it may be better to take those pills at night and not in the morning, found researchers who studied 691 subjects. The study, published in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, found that those who took their blood pressure meds at night had better results and possibly fewer side effects. The reason? You're optimizing the drug's impact on your body's natural biological rhythm. Generally, blood pressure rises naturally before you get out of bed and peaks midday. It then gradually falls, reaching its lowest between midnight and 4 a.m. So when you take pills in the morning or at lunch, you may not actually be managing the hours when your blood pressure is at its peak. Popping the pill at night, however, will keep the morning rise down.
Something else to do in the early evenings? Work out. Turns out that just showing up to the gym isn't enough. Aim to work out in the late afternoon to early evening, found research published by the American College of Sports Medicine, for peak performance and to prevent the feeling that you're dragging your heels. Since body temperature is higher during that time frame, it is believed that muscle mobility increases, allowing you to get more out of your workout. Plus, warm muscles are less susceptible to injury. Another reason to sleep in and get to the gym after work instead.
Every 90 minutes: Take a Break
Even when we're getting enough shut-eye at night, we can't work endlessly on projects without getting fatigued. We need to take breaks throughout the day, found Florida State University researchers, thanks to the constant shifts of our biological clock that adjust the levels of hormones like adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol. Ideally, we should work in 90-minute intervals for best productivity, found the authors who studied elites in music, sports, and chess.

Conservatives and Republicans today suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s.
It's hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the disaster. Conservatives may cheer themselves that they'll compensate for today's expected vote with a big win in the November 2010 elections. But:
(1) It's a good bet that conservatives are over-optimistic about November - by then the economy will have improved and the immediate goodies in the healthcare bill will be reaching key voting blocs.
(2) So what? Legislative majorities come and go. This healthcare bill is forever. A win in November is very poor compensation for this debacle now.
So far, I think a lot of conservatives will agree with me. Now comes the hard lesson:
A huge part of the blame for today's disaster attaches to conservatives and Republicans ourselves.
At the beginning of this process we made a strategic decision: unlike, say, Democrats in 2001 when President Bush proposed his first tax cut, we would make no deal with the administration. No negotiations, no compromise, nothing. We were going for all the marbles. This would be Obama's Waterloo - just as healthcare was Clinton's in 1994.
Only, the hardliners overlooked a few key facts: Obama was elected with 53% of the vote, not Clinton's 42%. The liberal block within the Democratic congressional caucus is bigger and stronger than it was in 1993-94. And of course the Democrats also remember their history, and also remember the consequences of their 1994 failure.
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
This time, when we went for all the marbles, we ended with none.
Could a deal have been reached? Who knows? But we do know that the gap between this plan and traditional Republican ideas is not very big. The Obama plan has a broad family resemblance to Mitt Romney's Massachusetts plan. It builds on ideas developed at the Heritage Foundation in the early 1990s that formed the basis for Republican counter-proposals to Clintoncare in 1993-1994.
Barack Obama badly wanted Republican votes for his plan. Could we have leveraged his desire to align the plan more closely with conservative views? To finance it without redistributive taxes on productive enterprise - without weighing so heavily on small business - without expanding Medicaid? Too late now. They are all the law.
No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the "doughnut hole" and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents' insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there - would President Obama sign such a repeal?
We followed the most radical voices in the party and the movement, and they led us to abject and irreversible defeat.
There were leaders who knew better, who would have liked to deal. But they were trapped. Conservative talkers on Fox and talk radio had whipped the Republican voting base into such a frenzy that deal-making was rendered impossible. How do you negotiate with somebody who wants to murder your grandmother? Or - more exactly - with somebody whom your voters have been persuaded to believe wants to murder their grandmother?
I've been on a soapbox for months now about the harm that our overheated talk is doing to us. Yes it mobilizes supporters - but by mobilizing them with hysterical accusations and pseudo-information, overheated talk has made it impossible for representatives to represent and elected leaders to lead. The real leaders are on TV and radio, and they have very different imperatives from people in government. Talk radio thrives on confrontation and recrimination. When Rush Limbaugh said that he wanted President Obama to fail, he was intelligently explaining his own interests. What he omitted to say - but what is equally true - is that he also wants Republicans to fail. If Republicans succeed - if they govern successfully in office and negotiate attractive compromises out of office - Rush's listeners get less angry. And if they are less angry, they listen to the radio less, and hear fewer ads for Sleepnumber beds.
So today's defeat for free-market economics and Republican values is a huge win for the conservative entertainment industry. Their listeners and viewers will now be even more enraged, even more frustrated, even more disappointed in everybody except the responsibility-free talkers on television and radio. For them, it's mission accomplished. For the cause they purport to represent, it's Waterloo all right: ours.

At present, a considerable fraction of the senior citizens in India are living on their own. But not all of them are victims of their children's rejection; some prefer to have an independent life even after retirement. However, for an ageing body, living alone is not an ideal situation. Elderly people need to be careful in their own house.
Here are few home interior tips for elderly people who are living alone:
Declutter- Tripping and falling down may be a casual thing when you are young but in the older years it can cause serious medical conditions. Decluttering is one of the easiest ways to ensure your safety in the house. Avoid cluttered furniture so that you have enough space to maneuver freely. Do away with all the extra furnishings and create more space. Rugs and mats should also be avoided as the walking stick can get entangled in it. [Read more…]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will leave Asia on Tuesday to visit Israel, Egypt and Ramallah, stepping up US efforts to avoid a worsening of the Gaza crisis, an official said.
Clinton will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and discuss the crisis with Egyptian and Palestinian leaders, after leaving President Barack Obama's trip to Southeast Asia, said senior Obama aide Ben Rhodes.
Obama made the decision to send Clinton after speaking to Netanyahu and twice to Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, after leaving East Asia summit meetings on Monday night, said Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser.
The US president, on a mission to reinforce his foreign policy pivot to Asia, has made repeated calls to Middle Eastern leaders in recent days about a crisis which he says was precipitated by Hamas rocket fire from Gaza into Israel.
Rhodes said Clinton would express the US interest in a peaceful outcome that protects and enhances Israel's security and regional stability, though he stopped short of calling her trip a mediating mission.
"The best way to solve this is through diplomacy, so that you have a peaceful settlement that ends that rocket fire and allows for a broader calm in the region," Rhodes said.
News of Clinton's trip came as Israeli leaders Tuesday discussed an Egyptian plan for a truce with Gaza's ruling Hamas militant group, and after the death toll from Israeli raids on the enclave rose to more than 100.
Senior Israeli ministers decided overnight to delay any ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to give Egyptian-led truce efforts a chance to work.
Palestinian officials said Clinton would visit Ramallah in the West Bank on Wednesday morning for talks with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.
US officials did not say exactly who Clinton would meet in Egypt. But Rhodes said Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood government, which has close ties to Hamas, was playing a useful role in trying to calm the situation down.
"The president and the secretary believe that the Egyptians have been quite constructive in the conversations we have had," Rhodes said.
"They have expressed a sincere commitment to support a de-escalation here."
Clinton's arrival in the region will add to a flurry of diplomacy aimed at ending a worsening of the crisis which could further destabilise the turbulent Middle East.
UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, who has been in Cairo, is in contact with Clinton, US officials said.
Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal meanwhile said his movement was committed to trying to secure a truce with Israel, but insisted it must lift its six-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Egypt is leading efforts to mediate the truce, chairing marathon indirect negotiations in Cairo between Meshaal and an Israeli envoy.

|The uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century; Cabo Verde subsequently became a trading center for African slaves and later an important coaling and resupply stop for whaling and transatlantic shipping. The fusing of European and various African cultural traditions is reflected in Cabo Verde's Crioulo language, music, and pano textiles. Following independence in 1975, and a tentative interest in unification with Guinea-Bissau, a one-party system was established and maintained until multi-party elections were held in 1990. Cabo Verde continues to exhibit one of Africa's most stable democratic governments. Repeated droughts during the second half of the 20th century caused significant hardship and prompted heavy emigration. As a result, Cabo Verde's expatriate population is greater than its domestic one. Most Cabo Verdeans have both African and Portuguese antecedents. Cabo Verde's population descends from its first permanent inhabitants in the late 15th-century – a preponderance of West African slaves, a small share of Portuguese colonists, and even fewer Italians, Spaniards, and Portuguese Jews. The fusing of European and various African cultural traditions is reflected in Cabo Verde's Crioulo language, music, and pano textiles. Among the nine inhabited islands, population distribution is variable. Islands in the east are very dry and are only sparsely settled to exploit their extensive salt deposits. The more southerly islands receive more precipitation and support larger populations, but agriculture and livestock grazing have damaged their soil fertility and vegetation. For centuries, the country's overall population size has fluctuated significantly, as recurring periods of famine and epidemics have caused high death tolls and emigration.

Cabo Verde's economy is vulnerable to external shocks and depends on development aid, foreign investment, remittances, and tourism. The economy is service-oriented with commerce, transport, tourism, and public services accounting for about three-fourths of GDP. Tourism is the mainstay of the economy and depends on conditions in the euro-zone countries. Cabo Verde annually runs a high trade deficit financed by foreign aid and remittances from its large pool of emigrants; remittances as a share of GDP are one of the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although about 40% of the population lives in rural areas, the share of food production in GDP is low. The island economy suffers from a poor natural resource base, including serious water shortages, exacerbated by cycles of long-term drought, and poor soil for growing food on several of the islands, requiring it to import most of what it consumes. The fishing potential, mostly lobster and tuna, is not fully exploited. Economic reforms are aimed at developing the private sector and attracting foreign investment to diversify the economy and mitigate high unemployment. The government's elevated debt levels have limited its capacity to finance any shortfalls.

text: Otosclerosis Otosclerosis is an abnormal, microscopic growth of bone in the walls of the inner ear which causes the stapes bone, commonly called the "stirrup," to become frozen in place or "fixed." Normally the stapes, the smallest bone in the body, vibrates freely to allow the transmission of sound into the inner ear. When it becomes fixed to the surrounding bone, it prevents sound waves from reaching the inner ear fluids and thus hearing is impaired. Q&As about Otosclerosis What is otosclerosis? In a normal ear, sound which consists of vibrations of air molecules is funneled by the auricle, or "outer ear," through the ear canal to the ear drum. Movements of the ear drum are transferred to the ossicles, the small bones of the middle ear, and the stapes vibrates in and out of the oval window. The vibration of the stapes sets up a movement of the inner ear fluids. This, in turn, stimulates the fine sense organs of the inner ear which then stimulate the auditory (hearing) nerve which carries the sound energy to the brain. It is this sequence of events that results in normal hearing. How is otosclerosis treated? No medication has been proven to be effective in the treatment of otosclerosis. Although a hearing aid can be worn successfully by most patients, natural hearing is preferred. Surgery has been found to be the most effective method of improving hearing loss caused by otosclerosis. Surgical treatment has been available for more than 50 years. The first operation for this disease was the fenestration procedure which required mastoid surgery and an artificial opening in another part of the inner ear. The attention of the ear surgeons then became focused on the diseased stapes itself and the stapes mobilization procedure was developed. With the improvement in surgical technique, the treatment of choice then became the stapedectomy. This operation was first performed in 1956. The stapedectomy operation involves the removal of the diseased bone and its replacement with an artificial substitute. Local or general anesthesia is used. The surgery usually takes place entirely through the ear canal so that no outer incisions are made. The stapedectomy is done using an operating microscope. The surgeon will first fold forward approximately one half of the ear drum so that he or she can reach the area where the stapes is located. The superstructure or stirrup portion of the stapes is then removed with fine instruments. There are several ways to properly manage the fixed footplate, depending upon the individual case. Most commonly, a small opening is made through the fixed plate with fine instruments, a micro drill, or a laser. In some cases the entire footplace may be removed. There are a variety of artificial stapes or "prostheses" that are available to replace this diseased bone. The most common prosthesis used, as shown in the diagram, is a "piston" which attaches to the incus and inserts into the vestibule of the inner ear, thus bypassing the fixed stapes footplate. Can I have the operation? What are my chances of its success? An examination by an ear specialist, including a hearing test, is necessary to determine if you are a candidate for the operation. There are many different causes of deafness and not all patients with otosclerosis are candidates for stapedectomy. The chances of obtaining a good result from this operation are about 90 percent. This means that about nine out of 10 patients will have improvement of hearing up to the level at which the inner ear is capable of functioning. If the inner ear functions normally, then nearly normal hearing can be restored. Approximately 7 percent of all patients have only partial recovery of hearing and 2 percent remain at the same level as before the surgery. The main risk is a 1 percent chance of developing inner ear hearing loss following the procedure due to factors that, as yet, are not entirely understood. For this reason, only one ear is operated on at a time and the worst ear is always done first. What should I know before the operation? Stapedectomy is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Your medical history, physical examination, a discussion about details of your surgical procedure and the associated risks and benefits will be addressed during the preoperative visit. At this time, you will be asked to provide your doctor with a list of the medications you are taking, including dosage and the frequency they are taken. You also will be asked to provide information about any known drug allergies. If you have symptoms of a cold one week or less prior to the date scheduled for your operation, you should report this at once to your doctor. What can I expect after the operation? The evening after the operation you should lie quietly on the unoperated ear. Do not be alarmed if you have some dizziness for the first few days after the operation. Following the stapedectomy procedure, most patients are able to go home that evening or the next morning. At the time of surgery, a packing is placed in your ear canal. You will not notice a hearing improvement until this is removed one week after the surgery. It often takes one to two weeks for the hearing to reach its maximum level of improvement. At first, patients usually complain of a "hollow" sensation as though they were hearing from the bottom of a barrel or in a cave. Sounds may have an unattractive quality or may seem very loud, but they will gradually become normal. Because a small taste nerve (the chorda tympani) that runs through the ear, it is not unusual for the taste sensation to be altered for several weeks or months following the stapedectomy operation. Recovery of normal taste sensation usually occurs. It is best not to blow your nose for one week after surgery. You should keep water out of the ear for at least two weeks after the operation. When you shampoo or shower, place a cotton ball which has been lightly covered with petroleum jelly into the outer ear canal. Do not go swimming. You may be given a prescription for antibiotics to be taken orally. The ear drum will heal quickly. Two weeks following surgery, you may resume normal activities, including flying. If at any time after surgery, you should experience sudden hearing loss, pain, dizziness, or any new symptom related to the operated ear, you should notify your doctor immediately. Complications are very rare. However, early intervention may influence the final outcome. Following your stapedectomy operation, it is important that you have periodic hearing tests. These tests provide your doctor with accurate information regarding the results of your surgery, the status of your unoperated ear, and the possible benefit of surgery should this ear also be affected by otosclerosis. Additional Information If you would like to schedule an appointment for an examination by an Infirmary otolaryngologist, a physician who specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of the ear, nose, and throat, please call our Physician Referral Service at 617-573-3954.
