'Click here to continue.'
'For more information, Click Here.'
''50% off your favourite gizmo. Click Here!'
Click below for more.
The paradigm continues today. Every good web design book/site will tell you that using the words 'click here' should be avoided at all costs, and they have been since the beginning of the web.
The hyperlink interface is well–established and easy to use: if you hover your mouse over a link, the cursor will change, indicating that this can indeed be clicked. This is a simple, yet effective system that rarely needs to be improved.
Why then do many designers continue to direct users to click on these links? The simple reason is that the call to action appeals to marketing types. A simple stand–alone image that isn't an obvious link will get overlooked. Anything not garnering traffic is bad; we can't rely on people to find what they want, we must tell them what they should have.
Haven't we been here though? Didn't we learn anything from the 'push' technology experiment? The web is not TV; we do not tell people where to go. The web is interactive, and its users dictate their own path. The beautiful thing is that if we don't like something, we go somewhere else.
Instead of spending all our time finding new ways to direct our users to information we want them to see, we should instead be providing them content that they truly want. 'Click Here' is a sure sign that the information we can expect to find behind the link is something an advertiser wants us to see, and is rarely worth our time.
Reader Comments
user are idiots. most targeted audiences are idiots.
nikeid.com's shoe configurator initially allowed ppl to scroll down the iframe. the nike bigwigs were scared that their targeted audience didnt understand how to SCROLL, so they made the page JUMP from target to target… sometimes disorienting the more advanced users.
there are ppl who are too stupid to scroll down a browser. sure, developing for intelligent users sounds good in theory, but in a business perspective, there are more idiots in this world than brilliant, to large companies, the idiot market wins.

Trayvon Martin
Zimmerman case jury works into the night Saturday
The courthouse tension thickened Saturday night after jurors in the George Zimmerman trial asked about a manslaughter charge while deliberations stretched over 14 hours, two days and a dinner provided by the court.
As night fell Saturday, scores of demonstrators — illuminated by the lights of a sea of media tents and live trucks — milled about outside the Seminole criminal courthouse.
Earlier in the night, the jury sent out a note asking for a clarification on the manslaughter jury instruction. After a brief break and legal research by both sides, prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to send a note back to jurors asking them to be more specific about the question.
"If you have a specific question, please submit it," Seminole Circuit Judge Debra Nelson wrote on a piece of legal paper to be sent back to the jury room.
As of 9 p.m., the jury had not sent back a response. They worked through dinner, finishing about 8:30 p.m.
Zimmerman, 29, is charged with second-degree murder with a firearm in the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Miami Gardens teen who was shot during a violent scuffle in February 2012. The charge is punishable by up to life in prison.
But jurors can also consider manslaughter with a firearm, which carries a maximum penalty up to 30 years. The jury can also convict on manslaughter without a firearm, which carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
Many legal analysts have long said prosecutors overreached with a second-degree murder charge, hoping for a "compromise" verdict that still carries a significant sentence.
"I don't think it's good for Mr. Zimmerman," said Miami lawyer John Priovolos, who has been following the case, discussing the jurors' question. "That means at the very least they're contemplating the manslaughter charge."
Jurors deliberated Saturday morning for three hours, took a lunch break and resumed again at 1 p.m. and continuing throughout the afternoon. The jury deliberated less than four hours Friday afternoon before asking to return to their hotel rooms.
Outside the Seminole courthouse, a few dozen protesters kept watch Saturday while jurors continued their work. Most were there in support of Trayvon, hoping for a murder conviction. Their chants included "Murder, not manslaughter!" and "[Zimmerman] Wasn't goin' to Target, was lookin' for a target." Zimmerman was on his way to Target when he spotted Trayvon.
Sanford residents Edna Fernandez and Roberto Isaac stood just outside of the barricaded protest area but said they, too, were hopeful for a guilty verdict.
"That boy was killed, and Zimmerman's trying to claim self-defense with a few small bruises?" Fernandez said. "Look, it's not a racial thing. We're both Latino, but we've watched the whole trial, and the outcome should be obvious to anyone."
If Zimmerman is convicted of second-degree murder with a firearm, he faces up life in prison. Jurors can also consider manslaughter with a firearm, which carries a penalty of up to 30 years in prison.
The trial has captured worldwide attention, casting scrutiny on U.S. race relations and Florida's much criticized self -defense law.
In Sanford and South Florida, law enforcement, community leaders and elected officials have been urging peace and calm in the wake of the verdict.
Trayvon was in Sanford visiting his father after he was suspended from Dr. Michael Krop High in North Miami-Dade. His killing focused attention on Florida's self-defense law, which critics say promoted vigilante justice. Prominent black civil rights leaders staged rallies for Zimmerman's arrest.
Sanford police initially didn't arrest Zimmerman, after he claimed self-defense. Gov. Rick Scott later appointed prosecutors from Jacksonville to investigate. Zimmerman was arrested 44 days later.
The trial began June 10 as lawyers selected an all-female, six-person jury; of the jurors, five are white, one is Hispanic.
Over 50 witnesses testified, including the mothers of both Trayvon and Zimmerman, each of whom said the voice crying for help on a neighbor's 911 call belonged to her son.
Closing arguments in the case ended Friday. Defense lawyers have said Zimmerman had to fire his gun to save his life during a scuffle started by Trayvon, while prosecutors have depicted Zimmerman as an over-zealous neighborhood watchman who falsely assumed Trayvon was a criminal prowling the Retreat at Twin Lakes community.
"This case not about standing your ground. It's about staying in your car, as he was taught to do," prosecutor John Guy told jurors in a final closing argument Friday afternoon.
In an appeal to the all-female jury, Guy repeatedly referred to Trayvon as a "child." Several jurors looked emotionally strained as he spoke.
The state honed in on Zimmerman's phone call to police reporting Trayvon as a suspicious person, a false assumption that the teen was a criminal, Guy said. In the phone call, Zimmerman admits to getting out of his truck and following Trayvon. Yet he also claimed the teen was circling his vehicle menacingly.
Guy also stressed Zimmerman's mutterings -- that "these assholes always get away" and "f**king punks" -- prove the "hate" needed to convict on a charge of second-degree murder.
"If there was ever a window into that man's soul, it was that defendant's words on that phone call," Guy said.
The defense cast Zimmerman as a reasonable resident, concerned about safety in his neighborhood, who was attacked by a physically more adept young man.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara also played a vivid computer animation that showed a Trayvon avatar hitting the figure representing Zimmerman, then straddling him on the grass beside a concrete walkway. The 911 tape that captured the cries of the struggle and the fatal gunshot played over the animation.
The defense attorney, during three hours of closing arguments, stressed that Zimmerman's state of mind — fearful — was key. He called the photos of Zimmerman's injuries to his face and head "icing on the cake." It was Trayvon who committed the crime, O'Mara suggested.
The lawyer finished in dramatic fashion: by carrying a chunk of concrete into court and plopping it on the floor, telling jurors it was "disgusting" for prosecutors to suggest Trayvon was "unarmed." The defense has said Trayvon bashed Zimmerman's head into a sidewalk during the struggle.
"That's a sidewalk," O'Mara said. "That is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but Skittles, trying to get home."

New King County Sheriff's Deputies to be Assigned to Southwest Area
King County Sheriff Steve Strachan announced last week that 14 new deputies will be hired over the course of the next few months to "beef up" patrol in unincorporated areas of the county, and on Friday he announced that some will be assigned to the Burien/White Center area.
"The southwest area has one of the highest volumes of calls in unincorporated King County," Strachan said. "Adding more deputies will provide better service to our residents and increase safety for our deputies." The Sheriff hopes to add at least 3 new deputies to this area as soon as they are ready for deployment.
"This is just what the public expects from its elected leaders – to deliver the services they need within the extremely limited revenues we have," said King County Executive Dow Constantine. "By collaborating with his staff to create new efficiencies, the Sheriff is able to put more police on the street within his existing budget, and I thank him for that."
The new deputies will be hired over the course of the next 3 months and will complete training and be assigned by the end of 2013.

Mario Manningham made the biggest catch of last year's Super Bowl, reeling in an Eli Manning pass down the sideline late in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning touchdown for the Giants.
The Giants didn't make it back to the Super Bowl this year, but Manningham did. Sort of. Manningham's out with a torn ACL, forcing him to watch from the sideline this time around. As you might imagine, it's not where he wants to be next Sunday.
"Oh man, it is tough to watch," Manningham said, via Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News. "I know it was a special moment what we did with the Giants last year, but I wish I was out there with my team right now. These guys, they're a special group of guys right here. I know they're going to go get the job done."
Manningham had 42 catches for 449 yards and a touchdown in 12 games this season, a bit less production than the 49ers were likely hoping to get from the free agent addition. That's also true of now-departed running back Brandon Jacobs, who also joined the team after winning it all with the Giants last season and never played a role on the offense.
Despite the disappointing end to this season, Manningham will have a chance to come back and help the 49ers try again next year. Jacobs will have to find another team willing to give him that chance.

The Teutonic Knights: A Military History
Greenhill, 2003 - History - 290 pages
"The Teutonic Knights were powerful and ferocious advocates of holy war. Their history is suffused with crusading, campaigning and struggle. Feared by their enemies but respected by medieval Christendom, the knights and their Order maintained a firm hold over the Baltic and northern Germany and established a formidable regime which flourished across Central Europe for 300 years." "This major new book surveys the gripping history of the knights and their Order and relates their rise to power; their struggles against Prussian pagans; the series of wars against Poland and Lithuania; the clash with Alexander Nevsky's Russia; and the gradual stagnation of the order in the fourteenth century. The book is replete with dramatic episodes - such as the battle on frozen Lake Peipus in 1242, or the disaster of Tannenberg - but focuses primarily on the year-after-year struggle to maintain power, fend off incursions and raiding bands and to launch crusades against unbelieving foes. And it was the crusade - with knights demonstrating their valour, daring and knightly worth - which chiefly characterised and breathed life into the militant, conquering Holy Order."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In a nutshell, the film is about the internal and external struggles of South Asian Muslims. It is about the battle of those who follow the extremist, perverted and unjust ideologies under the banner of Islam, and those like me who are moderate Muslims. Those who appreciate the religion for its goodness and its teachings related to treating humanity with utmost respect and love. But rather than discuss merely what the film is about, I would like to note some of the issues that are brought up in the film and why I think they are very well portrayed on screen.
1. Initially set in Pakistan, the film starts out with a rehearsal on a new year concert stage which is destroyed by group of religious extremists. A very real-world scenario.
2. A musician (Sarmad, played by Fawad Afzal Khan) is taken under the wing of an extremist pastor. The musician quits his profession to join the group of extremists.
3. A female British citizen (Mary/Maryum, played by Iman Ali) with a Pakistani father is tricked into marrying this newly-turned-extremist, because of her desire to wed a non-Muslim in England. The father cannot bear to see her daughter with someone of another faith, although he is living with a non-Muslim woman from England. The newly-married couple is placed in Afghanistan so the woman cannot run away. This is where she witnesses the atrocities committed on women. Eventually, she returns after divorcing her husband, to teach young women how to read and write.
4. The second musician (Shaan, played by Mansoor) who studies music in Chicago, plays his part very well. This part of the film is perhaps most interesting. His love interest (Janey, played by Austin Sayre, who I think does a tremendous job) and he combine to give us the best song in the film in my opinion, Bandeya Ho, which is a very catchy tune that is extremely well choreographed (watch it below).
5. The relationship between Mansoor and Janey is very well developed. The discussions on interracial marriages and the challenges they foresee are very constructive. These are discussions those of us who have migrated to the West have often had, so they're very easy to relate to.
6. The bits at the beginning, when Sarmad is shown being influenced by Maulana Tahiri, are well done. As Sarmad refuses to perform with his brother at a concert, when he takes down paintings because they show people, and when he insists his mother and grandmother wear the hijab. Again, these are tangible issues that are interpreted very differently by moderates and extremists.
7. One of the most well-executed moments in the movie is when Mansoor's taaweez is dissected, revealing Quranic verses and numbers from what is a 'naqsh'. When he is asked what the verses mean, he says that he can read them but not understand them. That is the story of most of us South Asian Muslims, who can read Arabic because we are taught to read the Quran. But we do not understand it and rely on the English translations to help us better comprehend the meanings behind the scriptures. If only people would understand!
8. Two portions in the movie that I think are most touching are: a) when Maryam is forced into marriage; and b) the last five minutes that show Janie reading Mansoor's note after he suffered a mental illness having spent a significant amount of time in jail for no fault of his own, and as he was being deported back to Pakistan. You might need to keep a tissue paper handy.
9. Naseeruddin Shah, who plays a cameo in a special appearance as Maulana Wali, is great as always. Remember listening to his interview on BBC specifically on this movie. Apparently, some extremist clergymen in Pakistan labeled him as a 'kaafir' after discovering of his moderate views and the portrayal of a moderate pastor in the film. Ridiculous, in my opinion. But sadly true.
Overall, Khuda Ke Liye has to be one of the finest movies to come out of Lollywood (i.e. the Pakistani film industry). In fact, I would go as far as to say that the quality of the film, in terms of its production, is somewhat comparable to a Bollywood flick.
The issues addressed in the film are very real, as are the situations portrayed. The dialogs are perhaps the biggest strength of the film. The songs fit in well. Bandeya Ho is truly a fantastic composition. The piece toward the end, when Sarmad sees the light and returns to being a moderate Muslim and a musician, is well done, although it is somewhat hard to imagine that he would not pay for leaving the extremist group.
Besides the plot, dialog, and music, the actresses make this movie click. Iman Ali and Austin Sayre are both gorgeous. Ms. Ali does very well. But Ms. Sayre steals the show with her acting. She does extremely well in the love affair she shares with Shaan. I have several friends from both India and Pakistan who are involved in interracial relationships, and I could totally see them in Ms. Sayre and Shaan. Kudos to that!
As you can probably assess from my comments above, I think Khuda Ke Liye is an excellent film. As it forces one to assess one's own viewpoints and be grateful for our fellow moderates, it is a controversial movie, no doubt. But therein lies its value. I am specifically going to recommend this to my friends in academia, for it belongs in the classroom as a case study of the Islamic divide, illustrating that there is a choice, and that most Muslims are indeed moderates. For sincerely addressing a topic that is easy to shy away from, and for executing it with what comes across as a genuine belief in the subject matter, I am going with four stars for Khuda Ke Liye.
Movie rating: **** (Excellent)
Music rating: *** (good -- Rohail Hayat has a couple of very catchy tunes in this one, at least one that I am absolutely hooked to).
My Classification: NC-17 (for plot, language)

Marine life around Goat Island
Snorkelling or scuba diving is one of the best ways to see marine life around Goat Island and the Hauraki Gulf.
At Goat Island Beach it is easy access into the water off the beach. You will see snapper and other fishes in a natural habitat that has been protected since 1975. In summer, schools of kingfish, kahawai and jack mackerel appear. On the reefs red moki, banded wrasse, spotties, kelpfish and goatfish share the habitat with leatherjackets and blue cod. Blue maomao schools are often mixed with sweep, trevally and parore.
Spiny rock lobster, best known as crayfish, are more common in the marine reserves at Tawharanui and Goat Island than the rest of the coast. Rock pools at Goat Island, Matheson Bay and Tawharanui can be explored at low tide to see crabs, sea shells, small fishes, nudibranchs and shrimps.
During winter New Zealand fur seals often winter over on the outer rocks at Goat Island. Occasionally a leopard seal has appeared on beaches but all seals are wild animals and should not be approached within 5 m.
Dolphins and whales are frequent visitors to the surrounding coast. Bottlenose dolphins often pass close to shore and in recent years have spent hours, some days at Goat Island interacting with snorkellers. Common dolphins are smaller and seen away from the coast where they move in large pods. They often feed where the gannets are diving in large numbers. Pods of orca (killer whales) are also frequent visitors and hunt for rays close to the coast. They are the largest dolphin and are being studied in NZ by Dr Ingrid Visser.
Bryde's whales are the most common whale seen in the Hauraki Gulf and it is believed that they are resident in the area, moving further out of the gulf at times or closer to the coast when there is plankton about. Other whales occasionally seen include humpbacks, southern rights, blues and minkes. To see them you just need to be there at the right time.

The Intercultural Studies Department
Welcome to the Intercultural Studies Program! We believe that the goal of every Christian is to glorify God through a life of joyful proclamation of obedience to Christ's commands. Christ's final words to his followers, commonly known as the Great Commission, were: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20, ESV We believe that the product of the Great Commission is transformation. Individuals and societies are transformed by God as they embrace Christ, his message, and his values. This transformation runs deep because it affects the deep-level assumptions of a culture, called the worldview. In order to effect this transformation, a person must be able to adjust cross-culturally to living in a foreign culture, communicate the Gospel in ways that are understood, and lead cross-culturally in a Christlike way that is characterized by love and service. And that is just what we do at ICS. We believe ordinary people can become agents of worldview transformation, and so equip students for cross-cultural adjustment, cross-cultural communication, and cross-cultural leadership. If you are headed into cross-cultural ministry at home or abroad, stop and consider that God first prepares those He uses. So take time to prepare before your journey. Consider the skills you need. And if I can help you think through your options or answer any questions, I would love to help.

Contact: Jackie Skaggs, 307.739.3393
May 20, 2011
A brief travel closure will be in effect on the unpaved section of the Moose-Wilson Road within Grand Teton National Park for about 28 hours, beginning at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, May 25. The road is scheduled to reopen by 8 a.m. on Thursday, May 26, barring equipment malfunction or rainy weather. The temporary closure is scheduled to accommodate dust abatement work.
Road crews will complete this project in the shortest time possible. Local residents and park visitors are advised to plan ahead and use an alternate route because this temporary closure prevents the ability to make a 'through trip' on the Moose-Wilson Road.
For those wishing to reach the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve or Death Canyon trailhead, access will be possible by driving south from the junction with the Teton Park Road near the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose, Wyoming.
To alert travelers of the expected daytime road closure, electronic signs will be placed on Wyoming Highway 390, beginning Tuesday, May 24. For motorists heading south to Teton Village from Moose, signs will also be placed at the junction of the Teton Park Road.
The product used for dust abatement is a slurry of magnesium chloride-the same product that is used to treat dirt roads in and around Jackson Hole. This product coats the road surface, but it can also adhere to the undercarriage of vehicles. Therefore, motorists who drive this portion of the Moose-Wilson Road after it reopens on Thursday may want to rinse off their vehicles to eliminate any residue.

Basic Service Management is now available
Written by the IT Skeptic!!
This book is about how to run services, in any organisation, in any industry. It describes the basics, the core stuff, in realistic pragmatic terms. And it is pragmatically brief - we kept it to 50 paperback pages.
We've had two recent attempts to seed change in ITSM: SMCongess and SMArch [aka ArchSM or Taking Service Forward or TSF or Adaptive Service Model or ASM....] The response has not all been edifying.

Man insinuates he could shoot off-leash dog in Round Valley, police told
The Park City Police Department is investigating a claim that a man insinuated he could shoot a dog that was off its leash in Round Valley in late February.
The police received the report at just before 5 p.m. on Monday. The confrontation occurred the day before, the police said. The case continues a dispute about leash laws in the area that stretches back years.
Charlie Sturgis, the executive director of the advocacy group Mountain Trails Foundation, contacted the police on behalf of the person who was in Round Valley with the dog. Sturgis said the dog is a border collie and the person, a woman, is a longtime Parkite.
Phil Kirk, a police captain, said the department was told the woman was walking the dog off its leash on a trail close to the fields complex at Quinn's Junction. She and the dog passed a man who was cross-country skiing. The skier took a swipe at the dog, the police were told. Sturgis said the skier used a ski pole. The woman and the dog continued the walk.
Kirk said the man was waiting for the woman when she returned to the parking lot with the dog. The two argued. Kirk said the man told her he held a permit to have a gun and he had one with him. The police were told the man said he could shoot the dog, Kirk said.
Kirk said the woman did not immediately contact the police. She had not done so by the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday.
Kirk said it was not clear whether the man committed a criminal offense based on the initial report. He is white and spoke with a British or New Zealand accent, Kirk said.
There have been conflicts for years in the Park City area between people on trails and dog owners who do not leash their pets. The episodes have occurred at all times of the year.
Sturgis said the man "very much got in her face" in an intimidating manner.
"That's just bad behavior," Sturgis said about the man.
Sturgis acknowledged a leash law is in effect in Round Valley but said it is commonplace for dogs to be in the expansive acreage off leashes.
"Round Valley is, basically, a big public sandbox and we all need to be able to play nice together in it," Sturgis said.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

"I'm gonna float like a butterfly and sting like a bee;
George can't hit what his hands can't see;
Now you see me, now you don't;
He thinks he will, but I know he won't." ~ Muhammad Ali
At last week's presidential debate, Mitt Romney floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee.
He punched and parried, feigning the great Muhammad Ali.
Any likeness between the two is, however, mere illusion. America has seen victory by Muhammad Ali. America worked through disputes with Muhammad Ali. Now America admires Muhammad Ali. And Mitt Romney is no champion. Instead, Romney's a magic man. He employs sleight of hand. He uses smoke and mirrors to confuse and obscure. Unlike President Obama, Mitt doesn't do math. He performs tricks, sorta like Muhammad Ali said in his rhyme – Now you see severely conservative Romney, now you don't. The GOP nominee asks Americans to engage in magical thinking – to believe his hocus-pocus is not just a stage show but will actually painlessly solve problems.
Last week, Romney promoted his magic show during the debate. He promised his performance as president would be fabulous, stupendous, unprecedented! He bragged:
"My plan is not like anything that's been tried before."
Specifically, he was talking about his tax plan. Romney has pledged to reinstate the Bush tax cuts should they expire at year's end as scheduled, then further slash income taxes by 20 percent for everyone. Also, Romney has vowed to eliminate and cut other federal taxes, including the estate tax.
Here's the part where Romney promises to accomplish something never done before: he says he'll slash and burn all these taxes but not add a dime to the deficit or to the tax burden of the middle class. When Ronald Reagan made a similar promise, George Bush I called it voodoo economics. George Bush II tried this magic trick and failed. Bush gave everyone, particularly the rich, tax breaks. Then the federal deficit skyrocketed. To quote a bumbling former Republican presidential candidate, "Whoops."
Romney says that won't happen when he performs as president. He's too good. The illusionist swore to the nation Wednesday night:
"My, my number one principal is, there will be no tax cut that adds to the deficit. I want to underline that: no tax cut that adds to the deficit."
He hasn't specified how he'd accomplish that because, as you know, magic tricks are proprietary secrets. He's offered a couple of enticing tidbits, however.
One is that he'd close tax loopholes and deductions to recoup income lost because of all those tax cuts. But he won't say which ones because, again, those proprietary magic secrets.
The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center (TPC) analyzed Romney's proposal and concluded it didn't add up – even when they gave him lots of breaks because his plan is clandestine. To get back $1 from closed loopholes for every $1 in tax cuts, the TPC determined that Romney would have to eliminate breaks favored by the middle class, such the mortgage deduction. And that means Romney's plan would cost middle class families an additional $2,000 a year on average, the TPC said.
Still, Romney assured the American people last week:
"I will not, under any circumstances, raise taxes on middle-income families. I will lower taxes on middle-income families."
Romney insists his bag of tricks contains one that will enable him to defy the math of the TPC economists, who served in both Republican and Democratic administrations. One way would be to do what Bush did, just cut taxes and increase the deficit. Romney contends that's not in his repertoire:
"I won't put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit. That's part one. So there's no economist can say Mitt Romney's tax plan adds $5 trillion if I say I will not add to the deficit with my tax plan."
Nobody can say it if Mitt Romney says they can't! He dismisses pesky economic experts with a wave of his magic wand.
Just as he'd heal the budget, Romney would patch up the nation's health care system — with pixie dust.
First, he says he'd repeal Obamacare on day one. Second, he told debate listeners:
"What I support is no change for current retirees or near-retirees to Medicare."
Logically, or mathematically, or realistically, that won't work. As of August, 5.4 million seniors had saved $4.1 billion on prescription drugs, about $768 each, because Obamacare closes the Medicare prescription plan donut hole. And, under Obamacare, this year more than 18 million Medicare recipients received at least one preventive service for free. Killing Obamacare would mean seniors would have to pay those costs once again from their own limited funds. This would be a costly change to Medicare for current retirees and near-retirees.
Also, Obamacare extended the life of Medicare by eight years. It did so by reducing payments to medical facilities by $716 billion over a decade, reductions accepted by the providers when the law was negotiated. Romney says he will eliminate the savings to Medicare and give those payments to the medical facilities. That, logically, would snuff out the life of Medicare eight years earlier, which would be a tragic change to Medicare for current retirees and near-retirees.
But, you know, presto-chango, Romney says it ain't so.
Many aspects of Obamacare are beloved by those who have benefitted, including extending coverage for young adults on their parents' plans, eliminating coverage caps and instituting rebates when insurers charge too much. But perhaps the most important Obamacare protection was the specification that insurers can't deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
Repealing Obamacare would eliminate that benefit. Romney's response at the debate:
"In fact, I do have a plan that deals with people with pre-existing conditions."
Romney's plan could exclude millions, however, since it guarantees insurance only if the person with a pre-existing condition has maintained coverage without a lapse longer than three months.
But, no worries. In Romney's magical world, if we all just clap loudly enough, Tinker Bell won't die!
Like any good magician, Romney keeps the details of his plans for America hidden up his sleeve. Taking a cue from that Muhammad Ali rhyme, he believes:
Your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see.

'Outsiders' say Texas race important to nation
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry jerked away the welcome mat for out-of-staters seeking to influence the U.S. Senate race, but as they descended on Texas anyway, they said they've got every right to support Ted Cruz over Perry's pick for the GOP nomination, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
"Every Senate race is a national race. The votes that Ted Cruz casts will have just as much effect on South Carolina as the votes I cast," said U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who would like to add the tea party-backed Cruz to a cadre of senators trying to push the GOP agenda further right.
We wrote about it in June when Perry pointedly said it's fine for people to "come to Texas and learn how to do it right," but warned, "don't come down here and tell us who needs to be our next United States senator, thank you very much. We'll decide that without your outside, Washington, D.C.-oriented help."
DeMint said he and other senators aren't representing Washington interests but are driven by the grassroots. Other conservative U.S. senators here to back Cruz in Tuesday's runoff emphasized their Texas roots as they talked to reporters last week after a Dallas tea party rally.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky pointed out that he grew up on Texas, the son of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah said he lived in Texas for two years and that his mom grew up here.
"Regardless, one has to ask the question: Why does he (Perry) care if outside interests speak in favor of Ted Cruz?" Lee said.
Perry said last week it's because he wants a senator who cares about what's best for Texas rather than Washington politics, but Lee had a different theory.
"He cares because he can see what a groundswell of support this man (Cruz) has and that there are really good reasons for that ... this man's a genius, and this man belongs in the United States Senate," Lee said.
Despite his support for Cruz, DeMint couldn't let that one slide, deadpanning, "Wait a minute. If he's a genius, he does not belong in the United States Senate. He won't fit in at all."
Running incognito
In the midst of his final push for votes, Dewhurst made a quick stop in Fort Worth to recognize some firefighters for their bravery. There was no campaign crowd since it wasn't a campaign event. Dewhurst wouldn't even answer political questions until he stepped around the back of the building since he didn't want to look like he was campaigning at the fire station.
So in search of a voter with an opinion, I stopped in at the nearby Mama E's Bar B Que and Home Cooking just off the highway. It made me wish candidates had more time to talk to people besides the likely supporters they identify with such precision.
Ernestine Edmond — "Mama E" herself, owner of the establishment — hadn't yet voted. She said she was still looking into the candidates' records. She cares more about a candidate's integrity and approach to the job than any particular issue.
She wants to know that when she calls an elected official's office, someone will get back to her. She wants someone who will try to keep his promises, although she said, "I know everybody can't keep every promise they make."
Partisan affiliation doesn't matter, she said: "They're both the same to me. They're men trying to get a job done."
Edmond would like the chance to meet with officeholders and candidates when they come through: "You sent me a flyer to tell me you are running. Why didn't you send me one saying you are going to be in my neighborhood today?"
If they did — and this isn't just about Dewhurst — maybe they'd be able to better answer this question she posed: "You say you represent Texas, but do you represent all of Texas?" Maybe meeting more people would be a start.
Beating Democrats by beating …
FreePAC, the Dallas tea party rally where Cruz and conservative U.S. senators spoke last week, was organized by the limited-government group FreedomWorks. Like similar national groups, it isn't just looking to elect Republicans but to elect the ones who will support its views. That attitude was exemplified by T-shirts that some wore with a quote from the group's president, Matt Kibbe: "Sometimes you have to beat the Republicans before you beat the Democrats."

^You three already playing the "too cool for the show" card? That might be a new record.
Yeah, man, just look at those shades. He don't need no E3 - he IS the show!
I remember Prey! It was going to be the coolest game ever...like, back in 1996 (when single-syllable non-descriptive names were all the rage). Wait, it actually got released? I just remember it as DNF-level vaporware. I guess by the time it was released I had stopped paying attention.But hey, why not reboot a 'franchise' with only one game in it that everyone forgot about!
Speaking of Tekken 7:Yes.Just...YESI missed you, Tekken.Well, non-Tag Team Tekken. TT's still good, but a little too hectic sometimes because of all the switching, makes it harder to get into the flow of things.

Oregon State (15-12, 7-8) at UCLA (21-7, 10-5)
When: Sunday, 6 p.m., Pauley Pavilion
TV: FOX Sports 1 (Rob Stone, Jarron Collins)
Radio: AM 570 (Chris Roberts, Tracy Murray)
No. 1: Will Zach LaVine handle the ball more? Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams are returning after their one-game suspensions on Thursday, so LaVine won't get anywhere close to the 17 shots he took in the double-overtime loss to Oregon.
But it's about more than just his point total. His father, Paul, has been long insistent that the 6-foot-4 freshman is a point guard. LaVine's brief stint there against the Ducks didn't disprove that argument. Late in regulation, Bryce Alford and LaVine swapped roles in the backcourt, with the latter taking the reins of the offense.
Alford has been serviceable as a backup point, but he could be even more effective as a two guard — where he can move off the ball and get better looks. The two 3-pointers he hit during the last 33 seconds of the second half were both assisted by LaVine. More importantly, though, is that giving the ball makes LaVine much more comfortable and better utilize his athleticism. Continue reading "What to watch: Oregon State at UCLA" »

Archbishop defends church teachings before U.N. panel, calls abortion 'torture' of unborn
The Vatican's representative to a United Nations panel probing the Roman Catholic Church's handling of child sexual abuse on Tuesday equated abortion to torture and said the U.N. panel's focus on the church's teachings on the subject was inappropriate.
In response to questions by panel members over whether the church's prohibition of abortion had led to violations of the U.N.'s Convention Against Torture, the Vatican representative, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, said, "We consider the right to life as a non-negotiable."
The Holy See does not consider abortion or abortion services to be a dimension of reproductive health, or reproductive health services, Tomasi noted. He argued abortions also amount to torture.
"The Holy See is in agreement with, and as directed by the convention itself, condemns torture, including for those who are tortured and killed before they are born," he said.
Tomasi cited statistics from Canada, where he said 622 babies born alive after a failed abortion between 2002 and 2011 had been left to die. In 2005, he said, 66 babies suffered similar deaths in the United Kingdom.
"Such cruel methods of late abortions truly constitute torture, especially through the use of evacuation techniques, where the baby, still alive, is dismembered and than pulled out of the womb in pieces," he said.
Tomasi's testimony came as panel members cited cases where women and girls, some as young as nine, had undergone abortions to save their lives and then been subjected to humiliating and degrading treatment often at the hands of priests. Tomasi denied that any Vatican official had been involved in such cases.
Tomasi also revealed statistics on what actions the church had taken against priests who had sexually abused children.
He said that between 2004 and 2013, the church had dismissed 848 clerics and had disciplined 2,572, out of 3,420 credible cases examined. He said the pope himself, either the current one, Francis I, or his predecessor, Benedict XVI, had dismissed 340 priests since 2010 for engaging in child sexual abuse. That included 43 last year, 70 in 2012, 143 in 2011 and 84 in 2010.
"It's clear the issue of sexual abuse of children which is a worldwide plague and scourge, has been addressed in the last ten years by the Church in a systematic, constructive, and effective way," he said.
The submission of the detailed statistics came in the second day of a two-day session into whether the church's treatment of child sexual abuse and its teachings on reproductive rights amount to torture or cruel and inhuman or degrading treatment.
The panel is slated to present its closing observations, and recommendations, on May 23.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story omitted full identification for the Vatican representative, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi.

Anointed "the new Dylan" upon his recording debut, folk-rock singer/songwriter Steve Forbert was born in Meridian, Mississippi in 1954. After learning guitar at age 11, he spent his high-school years playing in a variety of local bands before quitting his job as a truck driver and moving to New York City at the age of 21. There, he performed for spare change in Grand Central Station before working his way up to the Manhattan club circuit. After signing to Nemperor, Forbertdebuted in 1978 with Alive on Arrival, which earned critical acclaim for its taut, poetic lyrics. The follow-up, 1979's Jackrabbit Slim, was his most successful outing, reaching the Top 20 on the strength of the hit single "Romeo's Tune" (allegedly inspired by the late SupremeFlorence Ballard). However, both 1980's Little Stevie Orbit and a self-titled 1982 effort fared poorly, and Forbert was dropped by his label. He spent much of the decade in Nashville, where he continued honing his songwriting skills and performed regularly throughout the South. In 1988, he signed to Geffen, where the E Street Band's Garry Tallent produced his comeback album, Streets of This Town. Pete Anderson took over the production reins for 1992's The American in Me, but Forbert's continued lack of chart success prompted the label to cut him loose. A deal with the Warner Bros.-affiliated Giant label resulted in two more studio albums, 1995's Mission of the Crossroad Palms and 1996's Rocking Horse Head, but in 1998 Forbert moved into independent territory for his next album, the rollicking live set Here's Your Pizza. Forbert signed with Koch Records for his next studio disc, 2000's Evergreen Boy, where he also released Any Old Time (a tribute to country music legend Jimmie Rodgers) in 2002 and Just Like There's Nothin' to It (a collection of new songs) in 2004. During this period, Forbert also released two compilations of rare and unreleased material, Young, Guitar Days and More Young, Guitar Days, as well as several live recordings. On Stage at World Cafe Live appeared in 2007 from Decca Vision as well as a new studio set, Strange Names and New Sensations, from 429 Records that same year. The Place and the Time arrived in 2009. The Chris Goldsmith-produced Over with You, a sparse song cycle that showed Forbert's fine songwriting skills, appeared in 2012. Compromised, a thoughtful and easygoing set including contributions from Joey Spampinato of NRBQ, songwriter and trumpeter Kami Lyle, and veteran producer John Simon, arrived in 2015, while 2017 saw the release of Flying at Night, his 17th studio long-player.

- These articles were first published many year's ago and whilst some are as relevant today as they were when new, many are now mostly of historical interest as modern research and coaching methods have superseded them.
The tapering and rest revolution
by Frank Horwill
Athletes and coaches are beginning to realise that reducing the training load before a major race pays dividends. They are also realising that in the monthly training cycle it pays to have an "easy" week. But, just how best to do this is a matter of much debate. Here are some of the options that have been put forward:-
1. A day of complete rest before a race.
2. Two days complete rest before competition.
3. Reducing the training load by half the week before a major event.
4. Reducing the training load by two-thirds a week beforehand.
5. Reducing the work-rate by a third.
6. Maintaining the mileage but reducing the intensity for a week.
7. Reducing the mileage but increasing the intensity.
8. In a monthly training cycle, having a severe week, followed by a light one, then a moderate one to be followed by a week of active rest (Jogging, walking, swimming, cycling or any other sport.)
Now, all of these have one thing in common: there is a period of respite. But, the nagging question which athletes and coaches ask themselves is this: how much fitness is lost by following any one of these procedures? Well, there are some scientific studies which give astounding answers. Some of them were done forty years ago and few believed them. Now, more recent research has confirmed them as being sound. They are:-
1. A well-trained athlete can go five whole days without training before endurance declines. (Costill)
2. If mileage is reduced by a third, the same fitness level can be maintained for three months. (Dyson).
3. Twenty-one individuals who trained severely six days a week consisting of three days of running and three days of cycling (this involved 6x5 minute repetitions at close to maximum effort with two minutes rest), were split into two groups. One group reduced exercise frequency to four sessions a week (two of running for 35 minutes at moderate effort, two of cycling). The other group reduced their workouts drastically to just two sessions a week (one of cycling, one of running.) The amazing revelation was that in spite of these reductions, one of two-thirds and the other one-third, both groups maintained their former fitness achieved on six days a week training, for a further staggering four months: (University of Illinois at Chicago, 1981.)
4. While reduction of mileage and frequency produced no problems in the Illinois trials, reductions in intensity did lead to a loss of fitness. It was found that intensity was the key preserver of fitness.
5. A group of swimmers doing 10k volume sessions a day had their load cut back by 68 per cent down to 3,200 yards per day, for 15 days. During the course of this reduction period, the swimmers' muscular power soared by 25 per cent, their levels of blood lactate while swimming at rapid speeds reduced, and, what matters most, their performances improved by nearly 4 per cent. One problem in this piece of experimentation was that the swimmers felt too fit and tended to start races too fast. (Gostill)
6. A group of swimmers reduced their training-load to a third and were monitored over a four-week period. Blood lactate levels dropped for eighteen days, then rose thereafter. Similarly, performances improved for eighteen days, but then declined. The conclusion drawn from this research was that the maximum period of tapering at this level (Two-thirds) should not exceed eighteen days. After this period the "milking" out of benefits declined. (Northern Colorado University).
7. A consensus of opinion is now emerging as to what is the best tapering before a major event. A runner who normally does 60 miles a week could cut back to 20 miles for up to eighteen days before a race.
8. Doubts about the above tapering procedures can be dispelled by an important physiological fact: the benefits of a work-out usually don't show up until 14 days have elapsed since the session. Therefore, what is the point of training strenuously right up to competition time? On the same line as this thinking, it takes 12 weeks of training at not less than 35 minutes a day, five days a week, to bring about major physiological changes for the better in the human body, and thirty-six weeks from scratch to reach peak fitness.
9. The most recent tapering news is even more sensational. It is the 90 per cent reduction in tapering! Three groups of runners were asked to follow different tapering procedures as follows:
- Reduce training by 90 per cent
- Reduce training by two-thirds
- Do no training at all during the tapering period of one week.
The first group were asked to do all of their training (10 per cent of normal), by running fast 500 metre intervals at 1,500m pace, in this case they ran 5 x 500m on the first day, 4 x 500 on the second, 3 x 500 on the third, etc. On the seventh day they underwent performance tests, having rested completely the day before. Endurance soared by 22 per cent in this group, in the two-thirds reduction group, endurance improved by only 6 per cent, and the total rest group, there was no improvement. It was found that the first group stockpiled more glycogen in their legs, and key energy-producing enzymes advanced dramatically. Also, this group had much higher blood volumes, compared to runners using the more conventional one or two days off before a race. High blood volume is a major asset, because it permits more red fluid to pour towards the leg muscles during strenuous exercise, bringing along surges of oxygen and fuel. It appears that this increased blood flow was induced by the fast intervals. Another advantageous factor for the fast interval group was that the speed involved was at near race pace which prepared them for the precise neuro-muscular requirements needed in the race. This also has psychological implications, "I've been doing this all week, it seems comfortable." (Duncan McDougall, McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.)
10. Eight experienced runners, which included two females, who had been averaging about 40 miles a week, reduced their training to 15 per cent (6 miles) all of it interval training for a week, plus the usual warm up and cool down. The repetitions were all done at 5k pace in decreasing amounts during the week, i.e. 1st day – 8 x 400, with pulse recovery of 105 beats per minute.
11. One hundred Boston Marathon participants were examined just before they raced, all were found to have microscopic muscle cell damage. They weren't injured as such. After the marathon, the cell damage was aggravated. This is known as muscle trauma, and it takes a month to repair. There is little point entering a marathon with reduced muscular efficiency. The exact taper for a marathon hasn't been scientifically tested, but logically it looks like:
1st week – 75% of the normal training load,
2nd week – 50%
3rd week – 30%
4th week – 15%
The final week of the taper (the 15% one) should see work equally divided between 5k pace intervals and marathon pace runs, with the former being reduced in number each day. There is no reduction in the intensity of workouts throughout this month lead-up, it is the volume that decreases. (Costill)
12. Tapering in training is also a controversial subject. There are two schools of thought:
- The weekly taper
- The monthly taper.
In the first, this routine is suggested: Day 1 – severe, Day 2 – Active Rest, Day 3 – Moderate, Day 4 – light, Day 5 – Severe, Day 6 – Active Rest, Day 7 – Moderate. The second method works as follows: 1st week – Severe, 2nd week – Active rest, 3rd week – moderate, 4th week – light. The first two weeks of this cycle are very similar to the principles of crash training, i.e. double training load, followed by an equal number of recuperation days. Where do the Kenyans fit into this picture? They appear to train severely every day, doesn't this make all this tapering business a load of nonsense? Well, Kenyans experience running to school from childhood and are better adapted to long spells of hard training, but they take a month off every year. However, it is possible that they might even get better with tapering, heaven forbid. Lets hope they are too busy running to read the results of physiological research conducted by some of the world's greatest ever work-physiologists.
N.B. It is suggested that the outlined tapering procedures are only considered for major events, certainly not more than one a month.
