We know by now that fake tough talk from the President on letting the Bush tax cuts above those making $250,000 expire being an absolute was just that, fake. So there's absolutely no reason to believe that Republicans do not have all the leverage in this upcoming debt ceiling fight coming up. They do.
US Double-Dip Death Watch Continues
Jay Carney's press conference today leaves no doubt that the situation is substantially as I described it in my previous post. The White House commitment not to negotiate on the debt ceiling is mainly fluff. Their public position is that the Congress must lift the debt ceiling with a "clean" vote first, before a deal can be struck on the massive spending cuts that will take place automatically in March. Carney implores listeners to believe that the debt ceiling and sequester are "separate" issues, and insists that "this not a negotiation the White House is going to have." But of course the entire press conference is itself a public gambit in an ongoing negotiation that obviously includes back-channel talks.
There's also no reason to believe the President won't put up huge cuts to our safety net just to raise the debt ceiling thanks to what we know from the austerity memo from Jack Lew's office when he was head of Obama's OMB in 2011.
This was all thanks to the gross incompetence of not adding a raise in the debt ceiling in the original 2010 deal that extended the Bush tax cuts as I have repeatedly pointed out. However more than half of you already know this, so let's get to the here and now; there are only two options.
There is the 14th amendment challenge to the SCOTUS option and there is the minting of a 1 trillion platinum coin to start off with. We know the 14th amendment challenge is the least likely scenario to be pursued now. So given the lack of appetite there, there is only one other option and the President better consider it because no one believes the fake posturing about a debt ceiling raise "not being for debate." Too late. It is.
It didn't have to be, but the President made it that way by trusting John Boehner with the full faith and credit of the US so now political default(the only way it could happen as a currency sovereign) is a possibility thanks to this mess. So a Trillion Dollar Coin (TDC) is the first step and a small chance at redemption that suddenly is bigger than the blogger and the blogs talking about it thought it would be. It suddenly got real and thank goodness it did because we need to go further. To defeat austerity for the future we also should go from a Trillion Dollar Coin (TDC) towards Platinum Coin Seigniorage(PCS) and think about minting coins of a higher value up to 60 trillion. Therefore, as a first step, I urge all of you to instruct the President to...
Direct the United States Mint to make a single platinum trillion dollar coin!
Now is the time; thanks to the originator of this idea, beowulf, and the tireless efforts and advocacy of our own Letsgetitdone; the TDC and PCS have now gone mainstream. Markos covered it on the front page recently referencing the co author of the law explaining it in very clear terms anyone should be able to understand. Democratic Congressman Jerold Nadler is going to push for it in Congress, and I have even heard that even Hong Kong papers are mentioning #Mintthecoin.
Of course that doesn't mean it won't have its detractors and it does, but it's pretty ridiculous considering our long history of doing so and what is in the Constitution.
U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
I don't always agree with Joe Weisenthall on everything; for instance, any amount of face value created with PCS would not be circulated and would not cause inflation(60 trillion in the Treasury General Account (TGA) does not mean Congress could spend it because all money created and spent has to be appropriated by Congress), but I am glad he is on board for the 1 trillion Platinum Coin option. He's right about this debate. He also references what sadly sounds a lot like some people on this site and others who want to scoff at this idea. When they do they sound like GOP Congressman Greg Walden whom is looking to legislate this authority away. However to make up for that he references the ever so wise deficit owl UMKC economist Stephanie Kelton who has long supported the idea.
Why The Fight Over The $1 Trillion Coin Is The Most Important Fiscal Policy Debate You'll Ever See In Your Life
When GOP Congressman Greg Walden introduced his bill proposing a ban on minting a trillion dollar coin, he specifically likened a government to a small business:
Stephanie Kelton, an economics professor at the University of Missouri Kansas City and one of the earliest defenders of the coin, explained via email:
Until the idea of minting a $1 trillion coin became a reality, most people probably never gave much thought to the government's financial operations. We understood that the government spent money, and we knew the money had to come from "somewhere", but we assumed there were limits to how much the government could afford to spend.
Like a household, we were told that the government could spend more than it takes in, but only as long as private lenders remained willing to extend credit. Borrow too much, and your credit rating will suffer. From there, it's a hop, skip and a jump to "shared sacrifice" and "tough choices" to avoid becoming the next Greece.
Enter the coin. An idea so simple the mind recoils. The Treasury has the power to end-run the process by cutting out the middlemen – taxpayers and bond markets –simply directing the Federal Reserve to add some numbers to its balance sheet. Saints preserve us! People are freaking out because the coin appears to remove the constraints on government finance by allowing the government to just "print" money. The truth is, the government is already the issuer of the currency. It is already not revenue constrained. The coin doesn't change anything fundamental, but most people don't realize this because they don't know anything about the mechanics of the way the government currently gets numbers into its account at the Fed.
The ever so wise deficit owl is correct. All denials and fear mongering about macroeconomic effects and scary inflation that will never happen are from those that simply do not understand our system; otherwise they wouldn't be throwing a fit about what already happens on a run of the mill basis; even if the coin was not going to be melted down which it is once the debt ceiling is raised as it is a stop gap measure.
To expand on the point and I have been repeating over and over again, I will turn it to Stephanie Kelton's colleague and brilliant protege of the great economist Hyman Minsky MMT UMKC economist L. Randall Wray.
Update on Trillion Dollar Coin: Not Inflationary–it is a Duration Trade
The Platinum coin has been all over the blogosphere as well as the media. Some have been arguing it will cause hyperinflation. How can issuing a coin to be held at the Fed to allow the Treasury to spend up to budgeted amount lead to hyperinflation? It has no first round effect that is different from selling a bond into private banks and then having the Fed buy the bond to replenish bank reserves (the current operating procedure); the second round effect–if there is any–is deflationary because it can remove interest income. Some "challenged" politicians are advocating that we remove the Treasury's ability to coin platinum.
You see? This is already how our system works. We will be creating fiat money with legal tender to pay what we already rung up. That's is what this debate is about. No perceived "market confidence" or "market reaction" is going to change the reality Randy Wray spelled out. This will not cause inflation. The mechanics are no different; it's just a slightly different way to turn the wheel.
To expand on that, I also have to reference the brilliant MMT economist Bill Mitchell to alleviate the scare mongering fears of a circulating inflationary trillion dollar platinum monster or even a 60 trillion platinum monster! OMGZ! One that escapes the TGA and drives up prices everywhere, except I already explained that Congress has to appropriate the funds or the monster stays chained at the Treasury.
This is similar to when the Fed buys bonds from commercial banks giving them cash making up private bank reserves on their books. Those "scary" cash reserve monsters do not chase goods either despite any hyper-inflationary fairy tales you might have heard! This is true regardless of QE because private banks create money by creating loans and despite while getting the reserves for free later anytime they want.
Building bank reserves is not inflationary
So just stop it. None of this is inflationary regardless of the Market Gods some think are going to be angry at the Mount Olympus bond market. Banks' reserves do not expand credit either as the money multiplier theory is false. Therefore with this much unused capacity and demand there won't be any massive expansionary credit that fuels inflation either. Issuing debt that is auctioned off via liquidity points does not really have much of a purpose because it doesn't really finance government spending and neither does revenue.
Issuing debt to be sold is useful as merely one interest rate setting tool out of many such as the Federal Reserve's monetary policy rate, the federal funds overnight rate, and the rate that it pays to commercial banks for excess reserves left in the system overnight; the Treasury and the Fed set all of this together thus decreasing the meaning of issuing debt to be auctioned off it in the modern money age. So what I hear from too many about what we "know about debt and economic policy" denying what the PCS law clearly states in a hyperventilating fashion or willful cognitive dissonance because the POTUS is unlikely to consider it is absolute garbage.
It would be one thing if people were just wrong and that was the damage alone but it's not. The austerity that will be passed to raise what was once routine(debt ceiling) thanks to all the flubs and/or sellouts that led us here will hurt real people suffering. I guess it's a matter of priorities; some people are worried about the tone when it comes to advocating for the disadvantaged, others actually care and are upset about this and read poverty stats.
Those are real people that need resources austerity sucks away from them. Real people who didn't want to be pawns in this sick game of political debt default, automatic recession or slashing their safety net they will die without; all because either our leaders want them to suffer or they forgot how to represent these real people they work for. These real people don't need a polite debate in Washington or anywhere else. They need someone to advocate for them and make no apologies about it.
They need help, not politicians. The fact that we are here today at this moment is sort of a national embarrassment and our entire government is to blame on a bipartisan level. So I am more optimistic thanks to the PCS and #mintthecoin going viral, but if by some miracle the POTUS wakes up or remembers who put him in office on the low end and pushes for this, we need to go beyond just the 1 Trillion Platinum coin solution.
We must ignore Josh Barro and others that would have us legislate this authority away just to raise the debt ceiling. Letsgetitdone is right once again.
Wake Up Progressives: The Bad Guys Are Trying To Steal the Trillion Dollar Coin for the 1%
In the latest outburst of posts, tweets, articles, and videos about the TDC, we're beginning to see, a feeding frenzy in which the participants self-organize around the TDC meme AND the objective of avoiding the debt ceiling, but without providing any consideration at all to higher value PCS options that could both make the debt ceiling a dead letter and also remove the driving force for austerity politics. This focus on the bare TDC and its application to the debt ceiling is "small ball" policy analysis that ignores larger issues related to PCS. It needs to stop before it totally drives PCS into a defend the status quo solution, that may defuse the debt ceiling, but still leave us in the sorry state of austerity-driven politics.
The focus on "small ball" policy analysis of PCS is emblematic of the superficiality of media outlets and what passes for "journalism" in the early 21st century. Too many content professionals are no more than marketers and propagandists, and don't make even minimal attempts to get at the heart of the larger PCS news story.
If the small ballers get to control the PCS debate it will result in the waste of a remarkable opportunity to change the whole direction of American politics. Progressives need to wake up and try to grasp this opportunity, before the fiscal conservatives save their version of the financial system with its increasing tendency to impose austerity on the rest of us while the 1% get more and more wealthy.
There has been enough deficit terrorism and the bipartisan deficit terrorists can never get enough pounds of flesh to extract for the market bond vigilante confidence fairy Gods. We must take away the power they have literally and figuratively over the collective mindset that drives austerity politics. Assuming this is even considered, and we must use this momentum to make it so, we cannot accept just a "small ball" TDC. We must go beyond to make the high value non inflationary PCS a weapon in our arsenal against the deficit terrorists and those that enable them in any way.
The long term unemployed and everyone else that needs resources they cannot afford have been terrorized enough in this economy. It's time to actually care about them instead of excuses for not pursuing this option because of an arrogant disregard for common law or support of a politician. The fact that we are in this position on top of record income inequality and official 7.8 to 14% real unemployment along with the worst employment to population ratio to workforce participation rate in 30 years as people keep dropping off the rolls not being counted is bad enough. Congress and the White House put us in this position by creating this mess on top of all this.
Now we'll see if they are interested in real solutions to the mess they created or will they play make believe and slap us all in the face as if we don't understand how they are ignoring us; as if we don't remember how we were sold down the river two years ago? If none of these solutions are considered I'll know what was just reported in TIME was true.
"I'm the President of the United States," Obama told Boehner [in 2011]. "You're the Speaker of the House. We're the two most responsible leaders right now." And so they began to talk about the truly epic possibility of using the threat, the genuine danger of default, to freeze out their respective extremists and make the kind of historic deal that no one really thought possible anymore — bigger than when Reagan and Tip O'Neill overhauled the tax code in 1986 or when Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich passed welfare reform a decade later. It would include deeper cuts in spending, the elimination of all kinds of tax loopholes and lower income tax rates for all. "Come on, you and I," Boehner admitted telling Obama. "Let's lock arms, and we'll jump out of the boat together."
Time will tell. There is slight optimism in general just because of the #mintthecoin going viral, but I also share a healthy dose of skepticism given where we are.
Please sign the petition up top. Thank you.
Mint 16 coins!
No need. You can just mint one or two and regulate the value
I was sleep deprived earlier so I will better answer now
If the national debt goes to zero there will be no more private sector wealth and there would be a huge recession like when Andrew Jackson paid it off so the point isn't to mint coins to retire the debt it's to get around the debt ceiling debacle and make the payments as they come due which is the only thing national debt wise we should be worried about.
MYTH #3: If this idea is so great, then minting a $16 trillion dollar coin could just solve our debt problem!
This line of reasoning ignores the point completely. People who say this (or say we should print a $100 trillion coin) are mistakenly thinking that the point of this exercise is to pay off our debts and get out of the hole.
That's not it. Our debts are plenty manageable at current levels, and with interest rates the way the are. The point is to stay within the law, while getting around the technical problem of the debt ceiling. So there's no point to the $16 trillion coin or the $100 trillion coin, or anything else so absurd. This is not about having money to spend. This is about avoiding a legal crisis where the government had obligations to much (such as on its debt) but didn't have the authority to borrow and spend money.
And furthermore, if we actually did try to eliminate our debts just by creating a coin, we would create the aforementioned inflation problem (via a massive expansion of money) and it would result in buyers less inclined to buy dollar assets.

I disgaree with Joe that minting a 60 trillion dollar coin is a bad idea because it would not be in circulation and could take the place of extending the debt ceiling which is just making the payments, but retiring the debt is not the point and there would be no reason to invest in this country if that were the case.
Anyway, I hope that clears things up, Sartoris. Thank you.
I'd mint 30 $100b coins ...
I don't get it
wouldn't it have to be backed up by something? I can see how printing more money or minting coins would work on the economy within the United States but don't we have a debt with other countries?
This makes it seem, and perhaps I just don't understand, that we can mint a trillion dollar coin, hand it to our creditors and say "there. We've paid off what we owed you."
Our money is backed by the productive capacity of our economy.
Our debt HELD by other countries is not a mortgage BETWEEN the US government and those other countries. They hold US treasury securities by choice, but if they elect to not hold US treasury securities, then they can decide between (1) simply selling them off seeing their exchange rates rise, and US domestic sales and exports start taking over markets they have been taking with discounted exchange rates, exporting their employment to the US (and we surely could use that employment) or else (2) replacing them with US private debt, so a larger share of the US treasury securities would end up
The US government is not like a state government. Its US money, issued by the US government (though under a set of arcane rules and organizations to pretend that its being done by an organization owned by the commercial banks but regulated by the government) ~ we can ALWAYS just monetize as much of the debt as makes sense.
The question is, how much monetization of the debt makes sense. Tight labor markets and demand-pull inflation are the measures of when we are risking doing too much monetization of the debt. Mass unemployment is the measure that we are doing too little direct government employment. And when we can borrow in the open market at interest rates lower than the rate of inflation, then we can clearly simply print money to pay for much of that direct government employment.
This is a very informative and easily understandle explaination of what is at stake, thank you for that.
I think this idea should pushed far and wide until TPTB are forced to confront the fact that people do know what is happening in their theater and realize there are solutions that just just don't want to talk about.
Moving Lew to treasury? Yeah that's what we need another flunky that agrees with the status quo and thinks it's just hunky dory to use the less fortunate as food for the beast.
Thank you, LE!
Like I said this started from a blogger and everyone is talking about it. That gives me hope that people are finally going to have to confront the way our money system operates someday. I'm also glad it was easily understood. You're right. They don't want to talk about real solutions or fiscal or Monetary reality. they want everyone to think we are in the gold standard where we have to balance the budge because we have to dig up gold, but we don't.
Eww, Lew, another Wall St tool. This shit makes me sick reading about all the failures and all the corruption. I guess to me, it was cool that Letsgetitdone had faith in me to write a piece at least. I respect that guy a lot.
I have to admit, I don't understand it
I have a hard time believing there is a way to avoid a down side to over-spending on wars and such. I have tried to understand these things many times, but I just don't have a head for economics and fiscal policy, although often enough I learn that an economic concept which I failed to understand turns out to have been hocus-pocus to begin with.
I do understand one thing all too well: this debate is best understood as a competition among competing agendas rather than as a good faith disagreement about how the world works, just as most climate change debate springs from ideology rather than from honest disagreement over the scientific data. I am saying that the motivations of the actors must be taken into account. Specifically, there are a powerful group of people who constantly seek ways to transfer money from others to themselves.
When I was very young and would see an enormous crowd of people at, say, a sporting event, I would dream of asking each of them to give me a penny or a nickel. I would then calculate how much that would add up to for me. It turns out, there are those who have figured out how to extract such spread-out wealth from the many to concentrate it in their own hands. These people saw that much of the middle class wealth was in homes, so they cooked up a scam to extract that wealth and concentrate it into their own hands. Any analysis of what happened over the last decade plus in real estate which leaves out this nefarious motivation will miss the point. Similarly, much of the wealth of the many was in pension funds and in the same way the same people cooked up a way to extract this wealth from those funds. These things do not simply occur as a force of nature--they are the direct result of people having a motivation, forming a plan, and creating circumstances which bring that plan to fruition.
There is money in social security and therefore there are those who would like to steal that money. That is the motivation of one side of this debate. They are not concerned about inflation, nor the Consitution, nor even the over-all fiscal health of the nation. They are concerned to continue their schemes for transferring wealth from the many to themselves. This MUST be recognized in order to make sense of the discussion. Such people, who to all appearances have Obama firmly in their pockets, do not seek a solution to the debt ceiling which does not include taking money away from social security. Whatever "facts" they cite will necessarily be in the service of furthering their plan.
There was testimony before congress a year or two ago in which, in a moment of surprising candor, a chief operating officer for the one percent, perhaps Paulson or Summers, made a stunningly candid statement before Congress. He was asked, "Why social security?" Perhaps he thought he was being clever when he responded, "Because that's where the money is," thus channeling bank robber Willie Sutton who gave this exact answer as his reason for robbing banks. If anyone remembers this, I would love to find the video to post in essays like this one. Nothing better tears away the veil of self-serving "analysis" more directly than that simple statement.
Having lost most of their pensions and real estate wealth, the middle class still owns value in the social security they have been contributing to faithfully, paycheck after paycheck. The oligarchs are coming after that money now. This is what this debate is about. The question is whether the many can prevent the few from continuing to concentrate wealth in their own hands. The question is whether there is still functional democracy in the USA.
The quote came from Bernanke during his confirmation hearings
In 2009, during his confirmation hearings, Bernanke was involved in an extended conversation in which social security was treated as an "entitlement" which is part of the deficit. As reported by Firedoglake in December 2009:
Bernanke reminded Congress that it has the power to repeal Social Security and Medicare.
"Willie Sutton robbed banks because that's where the money is, as he put it," Bernanke said. "The money in this case is in entitlements."
A long-term plan to raid social security is nearing fruition. During the presidential race of 2000, Al Gore was already attempting to fight this theft with his famous "lock box" stance. Sadly for most of America, people laughed at Gore's style rather than take the time to understand what he was talking about.
Thank you, geomoo
Most MMT economists do not want to spend on wars because it wastes productive human capacity and the benefits are small. You're right about the 1% wanting to extract whatever wealth is left and that is what is behind the housing bubble as well. IT's also behind the campaign to go after SS and the Willie Sutton quote. It's because the special issue securities were already issued and interest earned and there for the taking though operationally there is nothing stopping the government from issuing more or just funding SS. It can't go bankrupt and neither can the nation but we can all live a life of misery in an economic income inequality coma.
Thank you for weighing in.
While we are overspending on wars and such ...
... we are also underspending on other things. Total Federal Government spending goods and services has been growing over time at a slower rate than the economy as a whole.
The obvious test of how much stress that total government spend on goods and services is placing on the economy as a whole is to look at the unemployment rate: if government spending was threatening to over-commit the nation's productive resources, labor markets would be tight. Unemployment would be well under 5%, and the Unemployment/Vacancy ratio would be under 1 instead of well over 3.
Now, the MIS-allocation of resources means that we are getting worse outcomes from that government spend than we ought to be getting, but that is not due to pressing up against our productive limits, and refraining from engaging in domestic government spending because we are over-spending on the military will only increase the imbalance.
What a pleasure to see you back
While I had a great winter break in Knoxville ...
Signed the petition
although there is no way that this administration will do anything that would derail the next round of bogus deficit/debt theater. The script is written and it's an ongoing cliff hanger series. What good is a fake crisis that can be resolved to a disaster capitalist. They keep us in line by applying shocks and this would definitely defuse the set up. Thanks for the explanation as well as making the mint the coin movement understandable it also sheds light on how bogus the whole deficit/debt grand bargaining really is. This really has become the theater of the absurd and the more people that are able to see through the Shock Doctrine the less they will react to the cooked up crises that just keep coming.
Thank you, shaharazade!
I disagree with this whole concept. No magical coin is going...
...to save us. It misses the whole point, which can be framed by the question: who should have real political power? It does nothing about wealth inequality, or suppression of workers, or stopping unnecessary imperial wars. It does nothing about destroying the moral evil that is capitalism.
All it does is wave this magic wand, purveyed in arguments that are always ridiculously long, as if the ability to string lots of words together with good grammar proves how Very Intelligent the proposal must be.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I think this trillion-dollar coin idea sounds way to good to be true.
Now we will see how well dissent is tolerated in this forum.
Dissent is of course tolerated
But with going beyond the 1 trillion dollar platinum coin it does address income inequality, because spending is income and austerity sucks away income and what the coin will right is the excuse that there needs to be another shock doctrine scenario and seniors having their SS cut. This is about stopping politicians from slashing away whatever is left after the Great Divergence from 1979 to now where incomes stopped being compressed as they were in the Post WWII boom.
This isn't supposed to be our full on salvation but pursuing the TDC and going beyond to PCS to other aspects of MMT is important in my view. I respect your views, but giving people resources today in any way is important an they wont' magically rain down even if the whole system ends right now which is my problem with a lot of theories and focus on ending the system as we know it completely(without any transition) though I agree with a lot of socialist theories except of course the dictatorship of the proletariat which will always produce a failed state like Bukanin said(who's natural state hypothesis has its own problems IMO but he is right about this and proven so multiple times); there aren't many non Revolutionary theories that have been tried.
So anyway thank you for your comment though i don't agree with it this time though I appreciate your contributions.
I'm sorry, but any proposal that seeks to allow capitalism, or..
uninhibited profits, or unlimited growth, or unlimited accumulation of wealth to continue unabated fails to address our fundamental problems, in my view. Any system that allows such things eventually runs into a problem that it can't simply outgrow, and then it collapses because it no longer works.
I find this theory you advocate a bandaid over a gushing wound, and the cause of that wound is the glorification of the profit motive itself. I don't claim to have The Answer, but I do claim to know what the fundamental problem is, and I think capitalism's elevation of greed and selfishness to a virtue is that problem.
We need something else. Your proposal might delay inevitable collapse for awhile, I don't know, but it won't prevent it.
Thanks for the respectful reply.
It's all about the metrics
and how you define the input of growth.
Modern Monetary Theory and environmental sustainability – Part 1
You can tax wealth and compress incomes while figuring out what central planning needs to happen for the future a far as climate change and I'm sorry, that's where Anarchist thought and Marxist revolutionary doctrine(dictatorship of the proletariat) both have flaws; little anarchist pockets spread across the US are not going to be able to all make the right decisions for a growing carbon outputting population .
You can concentrate on what they got right and push for more ownership of what workers produce which already exists in some small ways at coops while redefining what grows while working on Democratic control of it which is where the problem lies. I'm almost there as fr as ending finance capitalism as we know it because that is looking increasingly irrational by the less than as second high frequency trading happens.
I already explained PCS and how it's a fight to spread real resources available now from those looking to slash them, which won't be assuming the system falls and society crumbles(not a utopia or worthy self sacrifice for the earth if we are talking quality of life).
But all views are welcome and there are certainly others who share your views. We Post Keynesians are not the enemy though.
now that's one charming pig
I don't think the idea is intended to fix your litany of wrongs....."It does nothing about wealth inequality, or suppression of workers, or stopping unnecessary imperial wars. It does nothing about destroying the moral evil that is capitalism."
The concept of the 'magical coin' is intended to highlight the foolishness of the debt ceiling debate.
As for destroying the moral evil that is capitalism, I am not a doctor, however, I would have to recommend that you not hold your breath while waiting for the demise of capitalism.
What system would you like to see replace evil? I'm curious. I've asked you this before and you did not respond. I'm not 'demanding' that you respond, I'm just curious what you would like to see replace capitalism.
Oh, and you may or may not know this, every Sunday night a group called: Anti-Capitalist Meetup posts essays on this site.
Debates over tactics are most welcome
and this strikes me as a debate over tactics. Mischaracterizing the opposition, however, is problematic, as is an argument that if something fails to solve all problems all the way to the root that they have no purpose. At the very least, offering an alternative to the gloom and doom scenarios which, btw, won't be solved through social security cuts, makes it more clear what TPTB really want. It may not be much, but it's something.
I can't figure this stuff out, but I share your deep skepticism about the worth of this. I've always heard that dealing with debt by printing money leads to trouble. It is difficult for me to imagine how it could be otherwise. If a thing (spending trillions on violence) can't continue forever, then it won't. What is interesting to me, and what is valid about this debate, is the way it puts those who have their plan all hatched in an uncomfortable position.
I don't see the difference between printing money and...
depositing some coin, of whatever kind of metal, into the Treasury and then decreeing it is worth X amount of dollars. It's still faith-based, just like the monetary system we have now. It only works so long as people believe it does.
Of course, our current financial system is also faith-based, and I lost mine in it long ago.
The difference is that the direct printing of money ...
... which is indeed the appropriate policy under current circumstances, is not allowed under current monetary rules, and getting new rules passed requires the cooperation of the very hard currency nuts in the majority in the House of Representatives who insist on cutting government demand for goods and services made by workers will somehow cut rather than increase unemployment.
By contrast, the minting of a platinum coin of very large denomination is allowed under current law, so it can be done without the hard currency nuts in the House being able to stop it.
Money IS just tickets to ride the rides that make up our economy. If the problem was that there were not enough seats to go around, printing more tickets would not fix it. That is, a lack of real resources cannot be resolved by printing money.
However, the most immediate problem is unemployment of resources ~ the most critical of which is labor. That demonstrates that there are empty seats, and printing more tickets and distributing them will allow us to fill up more of those seats. We have the real resources, lying idle and unused. What we lack is the the capability to pay for the products that could be made with those resources. And that is a problem that can indeed be fixed by printing more money.
Great to see you, BruceMcF!
Um, I was attempting to agree with you . . .
on the notion that minting a coin, which I somewhat sloppily referred to as printing money, seems to me to be not so clearly unproblematic as many I trust are claiming. But that's not the main point--the main point to me is that this argument is one way to expose the motivation of the 1% who are creating these "problems" for nefarioius reasons.
The magical thinking is the hard currency ...
... ideologues imposing unnecessary, counter-productive political limitations, aimed at making it hard to solve the simplest of macroeconomic problems, thereby keeping the simplest of macroeconomic problems in front of us and stalling us from pushing on to working on the harder problems.
The coin is not magical, its just a slipknot that happens to exist in the way that we've ended up tying one hand behind our backs. Since the inability to solve the simple problem is caused by writing idiotic rules, it is not surprising that it can be addressed to taking advantage in a loophole in that set of idiotic rules.
One way of looking at the problem
it occurs to me, is to take a step back and say, whatever economic system is in place, we need to recognize that what is called the economy is not the purpose of our society. We need to place the economy in service to the meaningful goals of our lives. Even according to capitalist theory, the profit motive is intended merely for regulating economic behavior, not for being the driving force of one's life. Of course we are seeing increasing dysfunction as profit takes the place of god, mutual well-being, happiness, or whatever other principles might guide healthy societies whose members enjoy enough self-respect and dignity to look for meaning in their lives. ANY economic system which is instituted as the be-all and end-all of society will fall depressingly short. Meaning and direction must come from within and economic behavior engaged in service of that meaning.
all financial matters are 'faith based'
Gold has no 'intrinsic' value. Oil has no intrinsic value. Everything that is related to finance is based upon the value that is assigned to it by the people wishing to own the commodity. Tribes living off the grid in the Amazon are not particularly impressed with the value of platinum anymore than you appear to be impressed with the value of 'fiat' money.
What would you like to see replace our system?
"intrinsic value"
I am attracted to shiny things, be they beads or rings or whatever. I would have taken the rumored $24 in beads and given away Manhattan.
Having said that, I think we all have agreed to play by the rules of this society, as long as we are living in the society, at least in terms of recognizing that dollars have power.
Of course if we were tripping on acid we'd look at dollars and cents and not care about them. In that case we'd take the shiny beads. Let's face it, shiny beads are better for the soul than American currency.
exactly, exactly exactly
100% agreement with this statement: "I think we all have agreed to play by the rules of this society, as long as we are living in the society, at least in terms of recognizing that dollars have power."
We can have discussions about FIAT money, gold standard, silver standard and bartering with sex and cigarettes. What the last economic collapse demonstrated is that unregulated capitalism is unacceptable. Capitalism is not going away. It's just not. What works is regulating the markets to prevent unrestrained markets from destroying the economies of the world. Deregulating the markets will allow 2008 to happen again and again with increasing ferocity.

LOWELL -- Mayor Rodney Elliott has formed the task force on economic development of the downtown the City Council requested he create to generate ideas to boost the city's central business district.
Elliott released a list of the task force's initial members on Wednesday. He said he solicited input from city councilors and the community members in making choices that would make-up a "well-balanced group of business leaders and stakeholders in the downtown."
"The primary goal of the Task Force on Downtown Economic Development will be to identify ideas and offer solutions to generate short-term goals and a long term strategic plan to spur business development in downtown Lowell," Elliott said.
City Councilor Corey Belanger, a downtown business owner who filed the motion for the task force's creation, will be the council representative on the force. City Manager Kevin Murphy will also be a member of the task force.
The other members of the task force are:
* Deb Belanger, the executive director of the Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau.
* Danielle McFadden, president and CEO of the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce.
* Jim Cook, the executive director of the Lowell Plan and the Lowell Development & Financial Corporation.
* Adam Baacke, director of campus planning and development at UMass Lowell. He is the city's former director of planning and development.
* Stacie Hargis, an assistant professor in Middlesex Community College's business department. She previously served as the director of the Merrimack Valley Small Business Center.
* John MacDonald, president and CEO of Big Decisions, LLC. He is the former vice president of corporate strategy and communications for the Lupoli Companies.
* Sobin Pin, owner of the Khmer Post.
* Karen Bell, owner of The Club on Middlesex Street and a member of JAMBRA -- the Jackson, Appleton, Middlesex, Business Residents Association.
Elliott said additional members may be added to the task force in the future as the panel proceeds with its work.
The mayor said he hopes the task force presents their findings and recommendations to the City Council's subcommittee on downtown economic development. The council approved Councilor John Leahy and Ed Kennedy's motion earlier this year for the creation of that subcommittee.

Take advantage of everything your plan offers to achieve optimum health and well-being
By Dr. Richard Smith, Medical Director for Humana's Senior Products in Idaho
If you're one of the 14 million Americans enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you already know that your plan covers hospital stays, doctor visits and other major medical needs. But are you aware of the additional benefits and features that your plan offers?
Being familiar with your Medicare Advantage plan will not only help you maximize the value you are receiving in benefits, but, in many cases, it will also help you achieve better health and well-being.
Here are five important ways you can take "advantage" of your Medicare Advantage plan.
- Preventive Care: Medicare Advantage plans place a strong emphasis on preventive health care services that help keep you healthy, detect diseases at an early stage, and avoid preventable illnesses. That's why we encourage you to schedule regular health screenings fully covered by your Medicare Advantage plans, as well as an annual medical exam. These screenings can help your doctor catch things early when they're easier to treat.
- Care Management: If you are living with a chronic condition, such as diabetes or heart disease, what educational programs and support does your plan offer? Some Medicare Advantage plans offer personalized, telephonic care management, health coaching, education and support provided by registered nurses and other health professionals. These plans also offer a toll-free help line where you can speak with a registered nurse about your health concerns anytime.
- Wellness Programs: Many Medicare Advantage programs offer fitness programs at no extra cost and, in some cases, even include a fitness center membership. Through your health plan you may also be eligible to participate in exercise classes specially designed for older adults.
- Immunizations: Flu and pneumonia shots are another important part of your covered preventive care, since people 65 and older are at greater risk of serious side-effects of these common illnesses. Because this year's flu season was one of the worst in recent years, make sure you are up to speed on your shots.
- Community and Financial Resources: If you have limited financial resources, you should be aware that there are plans available that provide extra services and lower plan costs for low-income beneficiaries, along with additional choices and benefits. If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid you may also be eligible for significant support and assistance from the government. If you're not sure, visit gov, or call 1-800-MEDICARE.
These are just some of the benefits and features that can help you maximize your Medicare Advantage coverage and improve your health and well-being. Be sure to take a look at your health plan today to ensure you're getting the most from your plan.

I'm sure many of you have heard of "shake-n-bake," but does "take-n-bake" ring any saliva-inducing bells?
A popular concept out west since the early '90s, when franchises like Papa Murphy's got its start, take-n-bake pizza is a 100 percent American, entrepreneurial twist on this ever-popular, now international food.
And it's now available in Charlottesville at the brand-new Superstars Pizza on Emmet Street next to the Tavern. Superstars debuted Friday, March 11.
Restaurant owner (this is not a franchise) Ned Sinnott, who started the original Superstars in Richmond 10 years ago, says he got the idea while living (and skiing) in Colorado.
"Take-n-bake is everywhere out there, and I figured it couldn't fail in Virginia," says Sinnott, a UVA alum sporting a skier's tan from a recent Colorado vacation.
So how does "take-n-bake" work? Well, you pick from a selection of white, red, and pesto pizzas like the Virginian (bbq chicken, red onions, cheddar, cilantro), Rockefeller (spinach, bacon, smoked oysters, cheddar), and Pesto Panache (homemade basil pesto, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, oregano), and they prepare it fresh before your eyes (or you can call ahead).
You take the (thin-crust) pizza home on a special baking sheet along with 12-minute baking instructions.
"Last night a take-n-bake customer called to tell us she's never had a better pizza in her life– not in Italy, not anywhere," says manager– aka Doctor of Doughology– Frank Knight, glowing with pride. "Our ingredients are so fresh."
When I ordered a slice of mushroom pizza for my three-year-old, Knight held a handful of freshly sliced 'shrooms in front of my face for approval, his zeal reminiscent of market produce vendors I've met in Italy.
For those who want immediate gratification, Superstars also offers a full "pizza-by-the-slice" menu as well as five salads (Greek and Thai with homemade dressings– Caesar, ginger-lime-peanut, roasted red pepper vinaigrette) and 10 different subs. Catering is also an option.
Though simple and somewhat small, Superstars is fresh, bright, and decidedly modern. Brushed aluminum chairs, natural wooden tables, light-and-dark wood floors, and large white pendant lamps hanging from a bright orange ceiling add a sorely needed touch of new-style to this otherwise visually tired block.
A brand new, terracotta-colored cement patio in front awaits tables, umbrellas, and potted plants. Outdoor seating should be available come spring, whenever spring decides to come...
Mona Lisa's lessons
Speaking of pizza, did you know that Mona Lisa Pasta on Preston now makes pizza to-go in their Wood-Stone oven? Flavor combos include a few tempting twists on Italian classics like "quattrro formaggi" (four cheeses), "pizza Margherita" (fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, marinara, pine nuts, and basil) and "pizza di Parma" (prosciutto di Parma, Reggiano, mozzarella and provolone cheeses and marinara sauce).
Not just a pizza-oven, Mona Lisa's Wood-Stone will also be used to roast a "honey and spice-rubbed salmon" and bake a pine nut tart at a special series of spring cooking classes taught by Jim Winecoff of Mona Lisa and Terre Sisson of Charlottesville Wine and Culinary.
The $45 demo classes are offered on March 30, April 12, and April 27 and menus range from "Citrus and Poulet" to "Fantastic Meatless."
Since we're on a home-cooking theme, I should mention that Sisson, an expert in the arts of fine home-cooking and food-wine pairing, can also organize and host a cooking class dinner party for you and six or more of your food-loving friends. Sounds like delicious fun to me. Check out wineandculinary.com for more details.

Puppy Bowl III has been going strong for over an hour now... these little guys just don't get tired. Well, one of them did... he decided to just lay down at the 50-yard-line for a while. One of the bigger, meaner dogs with lower self-esteem called an immediate press conference and accused the other dog of getting tired during the Puppy Bowl. Andy Reid insists there are no issues between the two.
It seems like some of the dogs are a little bit older this year, like they've invited back a couple of last year's MVPs. I love this thing. I'm so glad they show it at 3:00, instead of waiting until 6:00 and having it go up against the Super Bowl. If they didn't, you'd all be really confused about the random "Awwwwww"s thrown into the liveblog.
I couldn't enjoy this more if they had a couple of black lab head coaches.

11-year-old suffers from an 'allergy' to sun
January 25, 2016
It took years for doctors to determine the cause of 11-year-old Savannah Fulkerson's suffering. Her symptoms were baffling — bordering on impossible to explain — but her mother's intuition proved invaluable in arriving at the correct diagnosis.
ABC News reports that the mysterious symptoms began to appear when Savannah was just 4 years old. Her hands were covered in blisters and sores after spending time in the Los Angeles sun, which led doctors to believe she was suffering from eczema. Andrea Fulkerson, Savannah's mother, was not convinced the diagnosis was correct. She tells reporters that when her daughter would venture outside, even for as little as 20 minutes, she was reduced to "uncontrollable screaming like she got hit by a car," then would "cry for hours on end." Fulkerson tried to provide relief for her little girl by enclosing her hands in bags of ice or drawing a cold bath for her, but to no avail.
In an interview with KABC-TV, Savannah describes the excruciating pain she experiences in heartbreaking detail: "it felt like lava was being poured on me," she tells reporters. "Like it burned from the inside out." Fulkerson suspected that exposure to sunlight could be responsible for her daughter's distress, but at that time, no doctor believed someone could be allergic to the sun. Still, Fulkerson recalls insisting to doctors, "it's got to be more than eczema."
When Savannah was 9, Children's Hospital Los Angeles came to the correct diagnosis. The explanation for the painful and itchy red welts was erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). According to the American Porphyria Foundation, this rare genetic condition stems from defects in hemoglobin production, which results in the release of toxic compounds called protoporphyrin. Those afflicted with EPP suffer from photosensitivity, and the American Porphyria Foundation lists "swelling, burning, itching, and redness of the skin," in addition to "mild to severe burning pain" as common symptoms.
Though there is currently no cure for EPP, the diagnosis has allowed Fulkerson to be proactive in alleviating the brunt of Savannah's pain. They focus on sun protection, including UV-protective clothing while limiting the amount of time she spends outdoors. ABC News reports that a recent study may have found a possible drug treatment, but it is still awaiting Food and Drug Administration approval.
Savannah may be confined to the darkness, but her spirit cannot be dampened. Despite teasing from her classmates, she maintains an optimistic attitude about finding a cure and has made adjustments to her definition of "normal" in the meanwhile. She swims in the evenings, has a trampoline in her living room, and dutifully dons her protective gear whenever she leaves the house. She shares her hopeful vision for the future with reporters, confessing that she aspires to have a house on the beach. Savannah declares, "when I get older, it's not going to change what I want to do ... it's not going to tear me down, it's going to build me up."

According to your media release WestJet only flies to Calgary every day. What happened to Moncton, Halifax and Winnipeg? Did they cancel them?
Hamilton International
Dear Sue,
Thank you for your inquiry. WestJet will continue daily flights to Moncton, Halifax, Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton throughout the summer season. As in previous seasons, at the beginning of November WestJet's service will switch to its winter schedule, continuing daily flights to Calgary, with the addition of weekly service to Cancun, Punta Cana and Orlando.
Thanks again and hope to see you flying from Hamilton this summer!
Larry White
Why can't we get Porter, Rouge and Encore flying from Hamilton Airport. How about some flights to South Carolina and New Orleans rather than having to fly from Buffalo Airport?
Gary Newman
I can't believe this airport hasn't grown more than it has in the past decade. The location is much more convenient to service people west of Toronto (Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton). Personally I always fly Hamilton if the opportunity presents itself, but the lack of flights in and out to key destinations in the states or abroad leads me always back to Pearson. Something needs to be done to put the Hamilton airport back on the map, divert 5% of traffic from Pearson and stick it to that airport with their overblown taxes. Why is the government trying to build a new airport in Pickering to relieve congestion at Pearson when we have an existing airport here. Pump some money into it.
Hamilton International | Post author
Hi Gary,
Thanks for your post and for choosing Hamilton International when you can.
We agree that there is a huge potential for our Airport to grow and serve the west Toronto market, as well as Hamilton, Niagara, Brantford and surrounding areas. We are focused and working hard to grow Airport services for the community.
This January, we received $8m in funding from both the Ontario and federal government to develop a cargo facility at the Airport. Although this funding is not for passenger services, it will allow us to increase our cargo operations and create jobs for our community.
As we continue to grow and develop our passenger operations we certainly see our facility adapting to fit increased demand. It's anticipated that capacity at the existing airports in Hamilton, Pearson and Waterloo will be met by 2027, and a new airport in Pickering would then be needed.
Thank you for your support and we hope to see you flying from Hamilton International soon!
Randy Walton
Are there any flights to Myrtle Beach in October?
Hamilton International
Thank you for your feedback and suggestions.
Through regular communication with several air carriers, Hamilton International is always looking for ways to increase routes offerings for its passengers and is committed to a specific strategy to grow air service.
Thanks again for your interest in Hamilton International and hope to see you flying from Hamilton soon!
Darren Mullin
Daily Service is needed to the United States. Hamilton Airport has alot of potential but Airlines for some reason don't come. What is the Airport Management doing to attract Air Carriers to Hamilton.
It would also be nice to have Montreal back on the Map.
Hamilton International
Thanks for your question! Others have had similar feedback regarding air service development, please see our comments above. We are always looking for ways to work with our airline partners to enhance service from Hamilton International. Hope to see you flying from YHM soon!
John Thomas
Perhaps reasons such as zero service for passengers at YHM play a role as to why airlines are hesitant to add service…like westjet or other airlines…example..what logic could be behind turning a full service restaurant into airport administration offices???Really???now we only have two Tim Hortons to service??no restaurant and no bar????just recently got television monitors at boarding gates and zero jetways????Perhaps it's the airport that needs to upgrade, make changes and get their priorities into customer services to get the airlines to add service to YHM…The people are there,but we need services…..
Hamilton International | Post author
Dear Mr. Thomas,
Thank you for your feedback.
The team at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport is continually working toward updating our facility and providing our passengers with quality amenities and customer service.
In 2012, the Airport administration office was moved to the Terminal Building to do just that – be closer to our passengers and provide a higher quality of service.
With existing passenger volumes and service levels a full service restaurant is not sustainable. As a result we have shifted our focus toward providing quick, grab and go food and beverage options for our passengers. It is certainly our goal to increase these offerings for our passengers at the earliest possible opportunity.
Some of the other upgrades that have been made to the Airport over the course of the past year include a complete Airport rebranding, including updated signage, renovated restroom facilities, the introduction of free WIFI, as well as more lounge seating pre and post-security to increase ease and comfort for our passengers.
With all that being said we are proud to report record breaking satisfaction scores for 2012 with 92% of passengers who rate the Airport as excellent or good and 95% of passengers who are very likely or likely to recommend Hamilton International.
We are proud of these statistics and will continue to strive toward operational excellence for our passengers and business partners alike.
We hope to see you flying from Hamilton International soon.
Cam Agnew
YHM is a gold mine for local and nearby communities to fly from. Flights to Myrtle Beach, Florida, California, Caribbean and select American cities would work well, even if these flights were operated on select days. I also think a daily or weekly flight to London Gatwick would work. Shame the City and YHM Management do not push the Federal Government for more traffic rights.
Hamilton International | Post author
Thanks for your feedback Cam- It would be great to provide our passengers with service to those various destinations. We are always talking to airlines about ways that we can expand the number of routes offered from Hamilton International. Don't forget to check our winter schedule starting in November with WestJet and December with Transat/Nolitours, HolaSun and Sunwing for weekly service to Orlando, Punta Cana, Los Cabos, Cancun, Montego Bay and Varadero! Thanks again and hope to see you flying from Hamilton soon!
evana andrews
Great news, hope to travel soon.

When do flights begin to Halifax ?
david willwerth
What are the dates of cancellation from Hamilton to Halifax during the winter months. Are there other companies flying during those cancellation dates? I do prefer WestJet. THX
Hamilton International | Post author
Thanks for your inquiry David. Direct service to Halifax with WestJet is part of the Airport's summer program, which runs April to end of October. During the winter months, WestJet continues service to Calgary, and begins flights to popular sun destinations.

Lechner, McCormick named to Tewaaraton Award Watch List
Lechner, McCormick named to Tewaaraton Award Watch List
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Juniors Kelly Lechner (Silver Spring, Md.) and Maggie McCormick (Eldersburg, Md.) of the eighth-ranked Penn State women's lacrosse team have been named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List, the Tewaaraton Foundation announced Thursday.
An IWLCA Second Team All-American in 2013, Lechner has collected five points (4g, 1a) this season, while adding four draw controls, three ground balls and three caused turnovers. During the 2013 campaign, the Silver Spring, Md., native led the team in draw controls (49) and shots (97) and finished second on the team in goals (47).
McCormick, who was named a Tewaaraton Award nominee a season ago, ranks second on the team with seven points (5g, 2a) and has added three ground balls, one draw control and one caused turnover. In 2013, the IWLCA Second Team All-Americans recorded the most points in a season by a Nittany Lion since 1989 (87). The Eldersburg, Md., native led the team in points (87), goals (50) and assists (37).
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of top collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.
Additions to the Watch List will be announced March 20 and April 10 before the field of 25 women's and men's nominees are announced April 24. The five finalists for each award will be announced May 8 with the winners being unveiled May 20 in Washington, D.C.
The Penn State standouts have led the squad to a 2-1 record in 2014. The Nittany Lions will return to action Saturday, March 1 when they face Virginia. Opening draw in Charlottesville, Va., is set for noon.

Like New Yorkers, opera tends to flee the city in summer. But a taut production of "Dialogues of the Carmelites" by dell'Arte Opera Ensemble offers a reason to brave a steamy August weekend in Manhattan.
The springboard for Francis Poulenc's unconventional 1957 opera was a historical incident during the French Revolution when an order of Carmelite nuns chose death on the guillotine over abandoning their religion.
The one fictional character in the tale is the young aristocrat Blanche de La Force, who joins the convent because she's terrified of the outside world.
In this spectacular role for a sensitive singing actress, the young American soprano Jennifer Moore bravely explored the character's neurosis, despite a few glassy high notes.
Also shaky in the high range were Mary Ann Stewart as Madame Lidoine and Laura Federici as Mother Marie, though they played the conflict between these two senior nuns with quiet resolve.
More vocally consistent was Maria Alu, whose light soprano sparkled in the role of perky Sister Constance. Leanne Gonzalez-Singer projected the deep lines of the elderly prioress Madame de Croissy in a rich chest voice and played her death scene with stoic dignity.
Of the few men in the cast the best was Lawrence Bianco as the Chaplain. His ethereal tenor floated serenely over the "Ave verum corpus" hymn sung at the nuns' final Mass.
Consistent across more than 14 solo roles was fluent diction in that most tricky of all operatic languages, French. Above the playing area projected English titles summarized the poetic text.
Conductor Chris Fecteau's 11-player adaptation of this grand opera's symphonic score yielded a mighty noise in the tiny black box space of the East 13th Street Theater, even if the strings wandered in and out of tune.
The spare production by Victoria Crutchfield — daughter of conductor Will — elegantly evoked the humility of the Carmelite order. The sisters dressed in a uniform black turtlenecks and slacks, and a few folding chairs indicated locations ranging from a chapel to the prison where the nuns spend their last night before their martyrdom.
Though dell'Arte describes its mission as providing a transition for young singers from conservatory to career, this "Carmelites" is one a professional company might present with pride.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Anna C-A.
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
By: Anna Casamento Arrigo
"Nobody puts Baby in the corner…(Patrick Swayzee in Dirty Dancing)." Sometimes, after my stroke, I felt those words impact my every move. Here I was an energetic, there's nothing I can't do but fly attitude and personality, to a tiredness that can only be described as, while similar to being 'put' in a corner, feeling you had, I had, been placed in a saturated paper sack, and that, of itself, would have been difficult if not impossible to escape. Where is that dirty dancer when you need him? In reality, truth be told, I don't think, even he, could have lifted the extreme fatigue I was experiencing then.
While I am no longer in that inescapable saturated bag, I am still, sometimes, in a corner keeping Baby company whether she likes it or not. I'll wait and, hopefully, the next dance will be mine. The extreme fatigue lifted, for the most part, on most days that aren't filled with unexpected company, moving mouths that I am positive are in conversation, judging by their animated hands and facial expressions. You see, my stroke didn't just leave me with fatigue in its aftermath; it also left me with, among other things, what I call environmental overstimulation that causes my heart to palpitate, my speech to become slower, words jumbled, lost, dropped, or suspended just beyond my lips' grasp. Environmental overload; and if someone asked me to describe it, I suppose I could make the attempt here.
"Okay, Baby, help me out here, please. And you can have the next dance with Patrick (I'm not well balanced right now anyhow…shhhh…don't tell Baby that though…balanced like in standing on my feet while trying to rock or gyrate, you know dance, isn't happening for me yet - another 'little' effect of having a stroke)."
Anyway, Baby wobbles in, her back arched, her legs weighed down at the knees, carrying a watermelon, obviously, heavier than anyone that size should be lugging. The music is blaring, bodies are sensually grinding, conversations surround her and still she's carrying that damn watermelon. And she manages to, after meeting hunk master dancer (if you haven't guessed by now, I loved this movie…okay, okay, Patrick in the movie!), evidently embarrassed and out of her element, say, "I carried a watermelon…" well duh. Even she admits that was dumb.
Here's my version of the same scene after my stroke. Anna comes in carrying nothing because it would be rather difficult to hold a watermelon that size with one hand while trying to maintain balance (not to mention I'm not particularly fond of watermelons…get your own please…chocolate anyone?...now that I could carry); walking into a room full of gyrating bodies, loud music, and a constant stream of conversations, for me after my stroke, would be like putting a blindfold over my eyes spinning me around, literally, for ten minutes, then plopping me beneath the roaring engine of a jet plane ready to take flight and, if that's not enough, when they ultimately take the blindfold off, I discover I'm not just beneath the plane, but the wheel is ominously close to riding over chest. Unlike Baby, it's not a duh moment; rather, it's usually I'm crying hysterically, laughing uncontrollably, the kind of laughter that comes unnaturally, not forced, but unnatural just the same, then, ultimately, as if my body has decided in collusion with my brain to say good night and put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign; white flag; surrender to it; and yes, I know the fight will continue another day.
"Nobody puts Baby in the corner…" Funny thing about corners; we sometimes refer to ourselves as being cornered when we are faced with challenging questions or asked a favor we do not wish to acknowledge; cornered (at least hunters, I suppose) refer to having cornered their prey; it always seems to be connoted that to be cornered is to be trapped and vulnerable. There is, however, another cornered; it is one whereby two sidewalks come together, and yes, I know, this is usually referred to as 'the corner.' I rather like my thought in regard to this cornered thing. I'd like to think that there is always something waiting just around the corner that doesn't fill you with a sense of dread, doesn't make you cringe at the thought of the unexpected, doesn't leave you paralyzed with fear, a fear that neither allows you to move forward, or retreat, if that is what you choose. Choices. Indeed, a stroke is not a choice. Deciding what to do when you come to the corner however, requires a negligible amount of thought as well. Choices. If we choose to stand still on that great open highway, are we not cornered?
Call it what you will. Cornered for a favor; cornered as prey; painted into a corner; all metaphors- figurative language. The reality is simpler, I had a stroke; I am recovering with the help of some very knowledgeable therapists (come on now you know who you are!!!!), great help from my family, and, as an old song states, "I get by with a little help from my friends, I can try with a little help from my friends…" For now, Baby and I are friends. But, you can rest assured no one has put us in the corner. We're just waiting for our turn on the dance floor with or without Patrick!

(Promoted by Colorado Pols)
Eleven senators and 7 members of the Colorado house, all Republican, have sunk to new lows of legislative buffoonery – SB 13-062. (It's short, I urge you to go and look at it.) В For those of you who don't follow links as a matter of principle let me give you a brief explanation of what the bill does:
If you own a "private business" that is open to the public (bar, restaurant, grocery store, coffee shop, law office, dentist's office etc.) and you prohibit the carrying of firearms, whether concealed or open, on the premises of theВ business, where such carrying would otherwise beВ permitted under law, you are strictly liable (liability without proof of negligence or fault on your part) for any injury or loss one of your customers may suffer at the hand of anyone else – robber, nutcase, etc. – unless you hire at least one armed security guard.
As if owning and running a small business isn't hard enough, these nitwits (I know name calling is not the preferred method ofВ political discourse, but I just couldn't come up with anything else – actually, В I could, but it would have been worse.) want to strap small businesses with extraordinary costs just to allow gun nuts the ability to bring their tools of death into my business. "What costs?" you may ask.
The first would be insurance. Since the Supreme Court expanded the interpretation of the Second Amendment and right wing state legislatures have expanded the ability to carry concealed weapons, the insurance industry has taken note. The risk of liability is substantially higher if there are guns in a business. Therefore, liability policies where guns are allowed carry substantially higher premiums than policies for businesses that prohibit guns. One of the reasons that businesses prohibit firearms is that they can't afford or don't want to pay for the extra insurance.
"Ah," you say, "then prohibit guns and hire an armed guard." Sorry, but hiring an armed guard brings not only the wages of the guard but the liability insurance cost of having an armed guard. These combined costs would even be higher.
Finally, the expanded – no-fault – liability placed on businesses that prohibit guns and can't afford to hire guards will generally increase insurance premiums. As is stands now, the business is not liable for the wrongs committed by someone outside the business unless the business is somehow found negligent. However, this bill would make the business liable for all injuries suffered by a customer at the hands of anyone else regardless of fault. (The bill essentially stands for the proposition that prohibiting all guns – even those of an armed security guard – from your business is per se negligence.) Insurance companies will deal with this added liability by jacking business liability insurance premiums.
What champions of business these nitwits are.

Pre-championship game preview: Kentucky
Only hours before the national championship starts here at AT&T Stadium.
UConn and Kentucky, two college basketball heavyweights, will square off at 9:10 p.m.
The Huskies will attempt to win the program's fourth national title tonight. They already have more championships victories (three) since 1999 than any other program. Duke has two (2001, 2010) as does North Carolina (2005, 2009) and Florida (2006, 2007).
A year removed from watching the tournament from home due to a post-season ban, UConn is
"I just feel like all the trials and tribulations that we have been through throughout last season and this season just has prepared us for this moment," sophomore Phil Nolan said.
Here's a pre-championship game preview:
-- Records: Seventh-seeded UConn, 31-8; eighth-seededKentucky. 29-10
-- Road to title game: UConn beat 10th seed Saint Joseph's (89-81 OT), 2nd seed Villanova (77-65), 3rd seed Iowa St. (81-76), 4th seed Michigan State (60-54), top seed Florida (63-53)
Kentucky defeated 9th seed Kansas State (56-49), top seed Wichita St. (78-76), 4th seed Louisville (74-69), 2nd seed Michigan (75-72), 2nd seed Wisconsin (74-73)
Probable starters: UConn, 6-1 sr. guard Shabazz Napier (17.9 pts, 5.8 rebs, 4.9 assists), 6-0 jr. guard Ryan Boatright (12.1 pts, 3.4 assists), 6-9 jr. forward DeAndre Daniels (13.2 pts, 6.0 rebs), 6-7 sr. forward Niels Giffey (8.4 pts, 3.8 rebs), 6-10 so. center Phil Nolan (3.4 pts, 2.4 rebs)
Kentucky, 6-6 fr. guard Andrew Harrison (10.9 pts, 3.9 assists), 6-6 fr. guard Aaron Harrison (13.9 pts), 6-6 fr. forward James Young (14.2 pts, 4.2 rebs), 6-9 fr. forward Julius Randle (15.1 pts, 10.5 rebs, 7-0 fr. center Dakari Johnson (5.2 pts, 3.9 rebs)
-- UConn is undefeated in its three previous title game trips, winning in 1999, 2004 and 2011. Two victories came in Texas (San Antonio, Houston).
Kentucky is making 12th appearance, last winning in 2012.
-- The Wildcats are undefeated in the NCAA post-season since losing to UConn in 2011 national semifinals. They own an 11-game tournament winning streak.
The Huskies are 11-1 in last 12 NCAA games.
-- Series: UConn leads, 3-1, winning last two.
-- Player to watch: Randle, one of the top freshmen in country. Nolan may need some help to defend the powerful 250-pound forward. Randle needs four rebounds to set a Kentucky freshman record and pass Anthony Davis (415).
"He's a pretty strong guy," Nolan said. "(I'm going to) just try to keep him off the glass."
-- Top reserve: 6-8 so. forward Alex Poythress (5.9 pts, 4.5 rebs).
-- Statistic to watch: second chance points. Kentucky averages 15.5 per game.
-- Hot: Kentucky is sinking 48 percent from field in NCAA games. Cold: UConn defense held last two opponents to a combined 39 percent.
-- The Huskies own NCAA best winning percentage (87.5) in Final Four at 7-1.
-- Napier on playing in his second national title game: "We worked so hard to get to this point, and we just continue to believe in each other. It's just so surreal to be back here."
Napier, Giffey and fellow senior Tyler Olander are the only UConn players to go to two national championship games in their careers.
-- Daniels is averaging 17.6 points during the NCAA run.
-- The Wildcats are first team ever to win four straight games by five points or fewer in tourney.
-- Kentucky has seven freshmen in its rotation, including all five starters.
-- Olander on how the team's tight bond has helped UConn reach this point: "When you stick together, anything can happen."
-- Should be a lot more Kentucky fans here tonight than UConn fans.
-- Expect another UConn family reunion tonight, as former players and coaches flock to watch the Huskies play for the title.
-- Check back later for a post-game breakdown and video. Follow me on Twitter @GavinKeefe for regular updates.

arkesystems necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 247 diseños de 63 diseñadores freelance.
Arke Systems
Arke Systems is an Atlanta-based IT consulting firm, specializing in custom software and web application development and other business IT solutions, including SharePoint Portal and MS Dynamics CRM. We oftentimes work behind the scenes with marketing agencies for their clients' online marketing initiatives. We're a group of computer geeks with quite a lot of character!
Our target audience is usually business owners, C level executives and IT decision makers. We also target sales managers and marketing agencies. We work with both emerging businesses as well as established ones.
We have a current logo that we've used for almost 5 years since our inception and we don't like it. It's weak, has too thin of lines, a huge hole in the middle of it, and is not memorable. It is the kind of logo that has to be included with the company name, otherwise no one will know what it is. We're looking for either a re-design of the logo or a brand new logo. In the case of a redesign, we'd like a more updated look, but one that still incorporates the original logo's dynamic/process cycle/movement feel. Or, if you're so inspired, come up with a whole new one! Our current colors are orange and blue, however we'd prefer to move to aqua blue and lime green.
We'd like the logo to reflect our professionalism and high quality, but also have character, since IT professionals and marketing professionals are usually quite unique. The wording on our new website that we will launch with the logo is being written in a conversational style.
Please see attached file of current logo.

/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect [-h socks5_proxy_host] [-p socks5_proxy_port] connect_host connect_port
A proxy command for ssh(1) that uses SOCKS5 (RFC 1928). Typical use is where connections external to a network are only allowed via a socks gateway server.
This proxy command does not provide any of the SOCKS5 authentication mechanisms defined in RFC 1928. Only anonymous connections are possible.
The following options are supported:
Specifies the proxy web server through which to connect. Overrides the SOCKS5_SERVER environment variable.
Specifies the port on which the proxy web server runs. If not specified, port 80 is assumed. Overrides the SOCKS5_PORT environment variable.
The following operands are supported:
The host name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the proxy.
The numeric port number to connect to on socks5_proxy_host.
The name of the remote host to which the socks gateway is to connect you.
The numeric port number of the socks gateway to connect you to on connect_host.
The recommended way to use a proxy connection command is to configure the ProxyCommand in ssh_config(4) (see Example 1 and Example 2). Example 3 shows how the proxy command can be specified on the command line when running ssh(1).
The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect in ssh_config(4) when the proxy is set from the environment:
Host playtime.foo.com ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect \ playtime.foo.com 22
The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect in ssh_config(4) to override (or if not set) proxy environment variables:
Host playtime.foo.com ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect -h socks-gw \ -p 1080 playtime.foo.com 22
The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect from the ssh(1) command line:
example$ ssh -o'ProxyCommand=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect \ -h socks-gw -p 1080 playtime.foo.com 22' playtime.foo.com
Takes socks5_proxy_host operand to specify the default proxy host.
Takes socks5_proxy_port operand to specify the default proxy port.

hukum warna rambut jadi haram sebab sembahyang x sah sebab mandi wajib dan ambik air smyg, air x sentuh rambut.so kalau kite mandi wajib x sah, means solat2 kite selama kite warnakan rambut pun jadi x sah la.melainkan kalau kite gune inai utk warnakan rambut,itu xpe. sekadar berkongsi.ReplyDelete
dear 'mak angkat',ReplyDelete
kalu oily skin, ok ke ni?
cop! untuk muka ke bodi ni? hehe!
just bertanya sekiranya hanis blh menjawb. kalau org yg kulit muka berminyak dan berjerawat sesuai ke pakai sunblock? takut getting worst.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tips. Will buy it soon. The problem with sunscreen/sunblock is that it tends to have a sticky/oily feel on my skin which is uncomfortable. I used to have a Sunplay sunblock that I really like as it is the only sunblock that doesn't have the sticky/oily feel on my skin. Sunblock tu dah hilang so good excuse to get another sunblock. Yay!ReplyDelete
ooooo nice sharing :)ReplyDelete
urm. kena rajin pakai sunblock dekat badan lagi la lepas ni. selalunya sapu dekat muka je :3ReplyDelete
Kena beli ni..Tak pernah pakai sunblock kot sebelum ni.. hahaReplyDelete
"Lebih tinggi nombor SPF, lebih lama ia dapat memberi perlindungan dari sinaran UVB. SPF 130 dapat tahan sebanyak 10 jam di bawah matahari."ReplyDelete
Hi hanis, i appreciate your afford to share those great tips here. But let me make a correction. =)
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Take the number of SPF and multiply it by 10 and u got the answer in minutes. So SPF 130 will give 21 hours of sun protection. I believed we seldom need this long protection. A sunblock such only SPF 30 onwards also can suit our needs, beside can re-apply if we need longer protection .
Friends, we can avoid overspent by purchased the products which fix to our needs only. I believed by this way, we can optimize our beauty budget and got extra money! =)
kak hanis, sunblock ni boleh pakai kat muke skali eh? takde ape2 effect kan? hihi.ReplyDelete
untuk sang putera ade x?
Where to find it ? Normal pharmacy ?ReplyDelete
Kena cuba ni :)ReplyDelete
Assalam, nie utk pompuan saja tapi tak tahulah kalau lelaki gunakan juga... biasalah nak jaga kulit...ReplyDelete
Untuk muka, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sun Block best sebab tak berminyak, dulu pakai Loreal UV protector tak best sebab melekit, untuk kaki dan tangan pakai Banana Boat, sun block penting untuk jangka masa jangka, sebab matahari punca utama penuaan kulitReplyDeleteReplies
Saya pun pakai yang tu.Delete
mana nak dapat product ni ? dah cari tak jumpa pun =='ReplyDelete
love the Tips... Thanks Darling!! ;)ReplyDelete
to sun-block or not to sun-block, that is the question, heheheh ;)ReplyDelete

klau kulit bermasalah let say de pimple2 sgala bleh ke pkai sunblock ni? xttup pori kah? :)ReplyDelete
My professor told me that for our skin type, we can't use sunblock which has SPF more than 30 (it's between SPF 15 to 30). And to remind you SPF 100 is so over the roof for Asean skin type because it can block both good and bad UV. We only want to block the bad one. Meanwhile, for European they can use SPF up to 100 because they lack of melanin pigment in their skin. It such a protection for them.ReplyDelete
So, choose wisely, for it may cause harm to your skin other than protect you :)
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Sorry,my mistake. For Asean skin type, the SPF of sunblock is between 30-50. But clearly not reach SPF 100ReplyDelete
nice post. Thanks :DReplyDelete
(baru nampak betapa lawanya dia ni. Haha :p)
To those yang tanya pasal boleh tak berwudhuk tu, the answer is just wash it off. Most sunblocks are water resistant meaning that they can handle a little bit of sweat and tears but when it comes in contact with large amount of water (ie wudhuk/shower/swimming), sunblock gone. So, reapply after solat. If you guys notice, one of the instructions is reapply after towelling (means lap muka ngan towel), swimming or shower.ReplyDelete
I really love this entry Hanis, mind visit my blog? i did write about SPF, so we can share the info on the same topic :)ReplyDelete
