Why I love the new Democratic Congress!
ADDED: Those damned Republicans only want to help the super-rich, while the Democrats' beneficence concentrates on the humble folk in the $100,000 to $500,000 range. Finally, someone's looking out for the working man.
AND: Please, nobody read this mockery to mean that they shouldn't eliminate the AMT. I really want them to do it. How they're going to replace all the money they lose, I don't know. And let me just add that the reason the AMT hurts me so much is that the income and property taxes in my state are so high. Those are the big tax deductions I lose the benefit of. What the AMT does -- certainly in my case -- is to make sure that people who suffer from a really high state and local tax burden still pay their share of federal taxes. Getting rid of the AMT makes it easier for state and local government to maintain high taxes because these taxes will lower our federal taxes. Anyone in a state with low taxes should probably be pissed off at this, because their states do with less revenue while their citizens fork over more to the feds. But presumably those states vote Republican, so who cares? My state votes Democratic, and it's got a lot of people who could really save a lot -- and contribute generously to the Democrats who have tended to us so well. In short: $$$$$$$$$$$$$!
SPECIFICALLY: Last year, the AMT cost me $4900.

This is funny. When I got a tax break from Bush, I was a member of the wealthy class. But we don't make enough (yet) to have the AMT effect us, so now we're not even middle class any more. The Dems take over and suddenly I'm poor! I guess the really are in favor of the redistribution of wealth.
I actually don't mind that the AMT is going to be ammended, as it does need to be fixed from time to time to avoid the dreaded 'bracket creep'. But selling this as a middle income tax break while selling Bush's tax cuts as solely for the rich is an astounding act of total bullsh!t.
Anyway, Ann, enjoy your tax break!
- Tristram said...
If the new congress is willing to so some bipartisanship with the president by getting rid of these horrible taxes, I think things may go okay for a bit.
The question is what do they want to replace the money, seeing as they are now the budget hawks? Or am I being unnecessarily cynical?

Well, the Dems are now winning the $100K - $500K bracket, they need to take care of their own ;)
Seriously, though, we have been nailed by the AMT, too, and it really ain't pleasant (to the tune of thousands of dollars).
With respect to Ann's idea that the AMT just makes sure blue state voters pay their fair share of federal taxes, the question is "what's fair?" You could reasonably argue that money that is taken by state and local taxes isn't really income at all -- we've never seen that money and shouldn't pay federal taxes on it.
- al said...
I'm not even in the $100K range (yet) and I saw my taxes drop ~20 percent thanks to the Bush Tax cuts for the Rich. The fact that those who weren't rich were not positively impacted was just another line of crap foisted on America by the Democrats.
As for the AMT I thought it was part of the long term Republican plan to get rid of it. It needs to go.
- Internet Ronin said...
That sounds like a very smart political move to me. One long overdue and something the GOP dithered about during their 6 years of combined executive & legislative control.
- Lou Minatti said...
"Those are the big tax deductions I lose the benefit of."
There should be no federal tax deductions for local taxes. Nor should there be deductions for mortgage interest. These are wealth transfer payments from one part of the country to another. In effect, I am subsidizing overpriced (housing-wise), overtaxed parts of the country.
I make a good income. I live in a good house. Yet I live in a state that has no income tax, and since houses are affordable here I don't get to write of the mortgage interest. Why should I subsidize you up in Wisconsin, a guy who has a second home, or some jackass in Orange County who pays $600,000 for a cookie-cutter tract house?
- Internet Ronin said...
Lou: Because there are more of them than there are those like you, and they vote ;-) That's how it works.
- Hayek said...
The budget problem is always related to the spending side.Tax revenues have grown at record rates since 2003.The democrats never saw a vote buying opportunity they would pass up and remain the party of transferring wealth from the producers to the consumers. The republicans have grown equally adept at buying votes. We are left holding the bag.
- Tim said...
You have a tax equity case on the deductibility of mortgage interest, esp. if you want a nation of renters as tenants of a few landlords rather than a nation of homeowners; but less so on the deductibility of local taxes, as slocum pointed out.
As a conservative, deductibility of local taxes ticks me off only to the degree it provides some cover for the state and local to jack up my state income and property taxes, since, after all, its deductible from federal income tax...
Otherwise, it helps to ease the pain until you run into the ATM buzzsaw, which was nothing more than the redistributionists' (i.e., the Dems) fail safe mechanism for getting their hands on the money, no matter how many legitimate deductions and credits you might have earned. Bush and the Reps didn't fix it for the unsurprising fact most of the ATM burden falls on blue state voters/taxpayers (and the revenue hit is significant). But with bracket creep, even middle-class taxpayers are getting trapped by the ATM, so even the Dems are now compelled to act - but they'll find a way to raise another tax to "pay" for this tax cut. Count on it.
They're all asses.
- Mark in Texas said...
How they're going to replace all the money they lose, I don't know.
Well, the Child Tax Credit is scheduled to expire and Charley Rangel has said that there is no Bush tax cut that should be extended.
- Internet Ronin said...
hayek: Would you care to rephrase your next to last sentence? I don't argue with "adept" but I have serious questions about just how "quietly" they have acted.
- The partisan moderate said...
Ann, as someone who worked in New York City, you should realize that $100,000 really doesn't go far in Manhattan and people who earn that (which includes NYC public school teachers) are not "rich".
I am a 3L law school student and I know plenty of people who are 1 and 2 years out of law school that earn $145,000, have tons of law school debt, work ridiculous hourts and for that they get to live in cramped studios.
While they currently do not have to pay the AMT, those are the types of people that you call rich that end up getting hurt in a few years.
- John Thacker said...
Honestly, I'd get rid of the regular tax system before the AMT. All those deductions just make the tax code more complicated and inefficient. But some of them are popular.
You could reasonably argue that money that is taken by state and local taxes isn't really income at all -- we've never seen that money and shouldn't pay federal taxes on it.
You can also more reasonable (IMO) argue that since the spending (and presumably benefits) stays within your state and local government, then it's unfair and selfish to be able to reduce the amount of money paid to federal government and to the rest of the union by raising local taxes. It's a way for wealthy states to keep more of their money at home, rather than being redistributed to poorer states. (Of course, then the standard comeback has to do with different levels of cost of living.)
- Doug said...
As a CPA, I would love to see the tax system be as complex as it can be, but the AMT really is hitting more and more of my clients. Some of them are fairly well off, and some of them are moderately well off.
I have to agree with Lou, these deductions do subsidize high tax states and high mortgagers. If we get rid of the deduction, then mortgage companies will end up lowering their rates out of necessity. The mortgage deduction doesn't even necessarily help some homeowners. The standard deduction for a married couple is much higher than it used to be(with the elimination of the marriage penalty), so there are homeowners who don't itemize.

- Bruce Hayden said...
The $145k almost entry level legal jobs are there and in other obnoxiously priced parts of the country, and that is where you are most likely to make a million or so as a partner.
But, realistically, I would think that in many cases it would provide for a much better quality of life to take a $100k job in a city with a cost of housing 1/3 that of NYC, even without the tax ramifications.
- Bruce Hayden said...
But there has been a lot of hypocracy from the Democrats in their pretense of representing the poor for a long time now. I remember a survey of the Senate a couple of years ago, showing that there were more Democratic millionaires and more aggregated wealth on the Democratic side of the isle than on the Republican side. And that was before the Heinz fortune shifted sides, with John Kerry now being considered the richest Senator.
And the new Democratic leadership? My memory is that Pelosi's husband is in the $50-60 million range, and Dirty Harry Reid has made a couple of million in highly questionable financial dealings (and his 4 sons have done well to as a result of his Senate clout).
The cynicism is that these ultra rich Congressional Democrats and their financial backers have the money to hire the best tax attorneys and clients to avoid most of the taxes that they are so insistent on imposing.
Of course, the AMT was passed to hit just that sort of hidden income - it just never worked that way. Instead, it hits people like Ann, who presumably doesn't consider herself wealthy.
- Shanna said...
As for the AMT I thought it was part of the long term Republican plan to get rid of it. It needs to go.
I've heard more that it needs to be adjusted up for inflation.
I've also heard it mentioned that the AMT would be a way to ease into a flat tax, which would cut out all those exemptions.
- Joe Baby said...
The 'economic choices of a law student' is a separate post. Could probably intertwine it with that wack-job mother.
- PatCA said...
"How they're going to replace all the money they lose, I don't know."
By open immigration, which increases consumer demand and spending and t/4 tax revenue. If states like WI really wanted to grow, they would lower their taxes. Everyone I know who wants to move back is stopped by the high taxes, which cancel out any savings from lower home prices.
Hey, Icepick, don't worry! I think there's some free government cheese in this deal for all of us, the new poor. :) And Lou--the jackass in OC probably has a higher income than you (or he couldn't afford the house) so is paying more in income tax than you.
- Greg AKA Rhymes With Right said...
But the GOP has wanted to do this in conjunction with making the Bush cuts permanent -- only to be blocked by Democrats.
How can the Dems now complained that these "poor" taxpayers making "only" $100,000 to $500,000 need to have their taxes cut in order to get the "benefit" of the Bush "tax cut for the wealthy"?
Or maybe I should ask how they can do it with a straight face and a shred of integrity.
- knoxgirl said...
One thing no one can argue with, and that is that the tax code is irredeemably screwed up. Is irredeemably a word? If it's not, that makes it even more appropriate.
I resent the fact that I have to shell out money and I don't even understand the rules that determine the amounts I pay out. Especially since I've gone freelance, it becomes more obvious all the time what a burden it truly is.
I am all for a flat tax, or even better, the Fair Tax. Pipe dreams both, I'm sure.

I am all in favor of AMT reform. Here is what is propose: Reduce the AMT to 15%. Apply it to everybody. This is the only tax you pay -- no need to calculate an alternative and pay the higher of the two.
Why not?
- Gerry said...
I like the idea of ending the AMT and getting rid of any exemptions for state and local taxes. ;-)
- JorgXMcKie said...
So, per George Mahal, the new poor are those who make less than 100K? Kewl!! The country must have done much better under the Repubs than I had guessed. Who knew that a Lefty like George would have been the first to mention it.
Personally, I don't get hit by the AMT and I feel wealthy, compared to a few years ago. I live in a house that we can pay for from either of our jobs alone, 6 months worth of ordinary bill payments in a MM account, decent retirement plans, 6+ months of good food in storage and rotated through my meals, good health. How can I not consider myself wealthy?
But, per George, I am among the poor, now. I sure hope I'm among the deserving poor so that George and his friends will be willing to pay more taxes to give me some goodies.
- BSC said...
I was at a conference about 2 years ago when AMT came up. One of teh speakers was a former Finance committee staffer who was involved with the 86 Tax Reform Act. The AMT was NOT an accident. Apparently, it was a compromise. One set of people wanted to end the deduction for state and local taxes, felling it subsidized high tax, mostly Democratically controlled areas. Another set wanted a straight flat tax. Another wanted the AMT as it was politically seen in those days as a way to ensure that "the rich" paid their fair share (the minimum tax was originally enacted in 1969 after the outgoing Johnson Administration claimed that something like 100 millionaires paid no taxes).
Hence, the AMT was seen as a way to end the subsidy of the high tax areas, soak the rich, and back door into a flat tax.
- Alan said...
I agree with Gerry, end the AMT (unless we turn it into a true flat tax at around 15%) and end the deduction of local/state taxes. Local officials should be held responsible for their taxes. The current deductions protect those officials and allow voters to continue to vote for those idiots.
- Garage Mahal said...
JorgXMcKie -
Where did I identify the "poor" as people making 100k /year? Incomes have been going up since this was enacted 35 yrs ago.
- Shanna said...
Hence, the AMT was seen as a way to end the subsidy of the high tax areas, soak the rich, and back door into a flat tax.
And it does all of that. Bravo.
But seriously, I am all about the flat tax. But the Democrats are quite funny since they've been bitching about Bush's tax cuts for years and now the first thing they want to do is a tax cut for 100K+.
I feel this congress will prove to be highly entertaining.
- A. Harry said...
My new Congresswoman called herself middle class, even though her financial disclosure said she earned $663,000 last year. I think we'll see a lot of new definition of the terms "rich" and "middle class". $100,000 use to be rich.
- The partisan moderate said...
Professor Mankiw, the ridiculously smart free market economist has an interesting post on the matter.
As for other people's comments to my previous post, you are correct that no one forces anyone to live anywhere, my point was that $100,000 doesn't provide for a rich lifestyle for many people. This is true for people in New York, Chicago, LA, and many other cities around the country and is especially true for young and recent graduates of law, business, and medical schools.
- dick said...
Be interested to see what you define as a rich lifestyle.
I remember a few years ago looking at comparative costs of living. If you took the comparator as being factual, a salary of 50K in many of the large cities of the middle of the country required 180K in Manhattan and 150K in Boston. That was based on total cost of living including taxes.
Based on that if you restrict yourself to Boston, DC, NYC, SF, LA then you will need to make a ton of money to live a "rich" lifestyle. Conversely if you include places like Miami or Dallas or Houston or the other comparable cities you can live fairly well on 100K. Just depends on what you think you are entitled to and just what you require to live a good life.
Personally although I live in NYC, I would really prefer to live elsewhere and enjoy doing things that I cannot even envision doing here because I cannot afford them.
- Mortimer Brezny said...
Yes, get rid of the AMT.
No, do not replace the money.
JUST eliminate the tax.
Cut spending. Cut, cut, cut!
- downtownlad said...
Ann, you are wrong about this being unfair to the low-tax states.
The low-tax states almost all get way more back in revenue than they send to the federal government. The high tax states almost all get less back.
Thus, New York has been subsidizing lazy states like Mississippi since the implementation of the income tax. It is completely unfair. Why should the intelligent, productive workers of a state like New York have to subsidize the people of Mississippi who sit on their lazy ass all day? It goes against everything capitalism stands for.
In fact, why should I have to subsidize anyone at all? There shouldn't be a graduated income tax. If the cost of running the federal government comes to $10,000 per person a year, then everyone should pay $10,000 in taxes. Even if you make a billion, or if you make zero.
- downtownlad said...
How they're going to replace all the money they lose, I don't know
Don't be silly. We all know that cutting taxes raises more revenue not less. And regardless, deficits don't matter.
Time for some blue state tax cuts.
- downtownlad said...
And here's how the Democratic Congress will cut spending. They will slash spending to the Red states.
For an example of welfare for the red states check out this article:
"Only five blue states are net recipients of federal subsidies; only two red states are net payers of federal taxes."
"In 2003, the top subsidy-sucking state, in percentage terms, was red-lite New Mexico, which received $1.99 in federal money for every dollar it sent to Washington, D.C. All the next eight net recipients of federal spending were redder yet: Kentucky, Virginia, Montana, Alabama, North Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi and Alaska, which received $1.60 to $1.89 back for each tax dollar.
The list of net losers in the state-federal exchange, by contrast, reads like a Who's Who of Blue. Two of the top 14 were traditionally red Western states that are starting to turn purple, Colorado and Nevada. The other 12 are all blue: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Washington, Wisconsin and the biggest chump of all, New Jersey, where the federal government spends just $.57 for every dollar it collects. Clearly Tony Soprano did not negotiate this deal."
The red staters are the ones who are STEALING my paycheck. That's completely unfair. I hope to see the Democratic Congress correct this in the name of fairness. Should be pretty easy since there are hardly any Democrats left in the South. Most of these stupid laws were probably created to accomodate Southern Democrats in the 60's.
- JorgXMcKie said...
George Mahal:
"Shorter Althouse Commenters:
Shit! Middle class tax relief from our new Democratic overlords?"
Well, if middle class is $100,000 to $500,000 [that's who's getting the tax relief being discussed here] then the rich must be those earning above 500K and the poor must be those earning less than 100K, no?
I guess I just find the idea that earnings of between 100K and 500K (which the census bureau identifies as being in the top 10% of income earners} puts one in the 'middle class' as just this side of ludicrous.
If the MEDIAN family income in the US is around 47K, how in the world can 100K to 500K be middle class?
- The partisan moderate said...
Since some people still seem confused by my previous posts let me be clear: $100,000 and even 200,000 do not allow one to live well in New York City or in numerous other cities. There is a cost of living adjustment.
Furthermore, many of these people who make $100,000 have graduate school debt in excess in many cases of $60,000.
So for purposes of claiming that someone who earns $100,000 is in anyway wealthy, is inaccurate. Someone who earns $100,000 in Wisconsin might be able to afford what one characterizes as an upper-middle class lifestyle: a large house and nice cars, in many of the placs where the AMT hits it allows you to rent a studio apartment in a six floor walk-up.
As for the previous comments made by Dick that you can live well in other cities like Miami, that presumes that you can get the same paying or similar paying job in another city.
Furthermore, as mentioned above it is irrelevant whether you can move elsewhere, we were discussing whether a $100,000 makes you wealthy, which in my opinion if you live in one of the aforementioned cities it doesn't and therefore I don't see the AMT in at least cases where it is limited to $100,000 or $200,000 as a tax cut for the "wealthy". However, as Professor Mankiw points out there are possible other problems in terms of fairness with it.
- John Jenkins said...
The could just get rid of the deduction for state and property taxes. Of course, the most populous states also have the highest tax rates. so that's not going to fly. (The deduction effectively forces those in lower tax states to subsidize the high taxes in higher tax states.)
Also, repealing the mortgage interest deduction wouldn't turn us into a nation of renters. Unless you believe that the only reason people buy homes is the deduction, that doesn't make sense. A deduction is only good for, at most, 35% of the amount of the deduction.
Even without the deduction, the math for ownership is better than the math for renting (all other things being equal), and the mortgage interest deduction isn't a factor, because you can't *get* a deduction without spending something.
Downtownlad, you're not factoring in the money that NY is spending, and that NYers get to deduct on their federal income tax, which means that federal tax rates have to be higher for a given treasury income level (holding the economy constant). Killing earmarks and other, similar types of spending would also solve the problem.
Ultimately, the problem is on the demand side: the federal government spends too damn much money.
- Jason said...
Man, you New Yorkers are hilarious!!!
I would have no problem living well in NYC on 100k per year. The trick is to understand the difference between "living well" and "living like an idiot."
As far as your 60k graduate student loans, cry me a river! Nobody forced you to spend that money. You spent it as an investment in future income (unless you spent it on a PhD in English literature, in which case you deserve to pay the stupid tax.)
You could have taken an ROTC scholarship, gone to a state school, or simply entered the work force, saved, and paid cash for the education.
If you completed the degree, the extra income offsets student loan payments. And there are already a number of federal tax breaks designed to help offset education costs. The interest on your loans is already indirectly subsidized by federal guarantees.
Lastly, don't bitch about living in inflated wage environments. People with high debt loads SHOULD work in inflated wage environments. You can spend your loan money with Wisconsin dollars and then pay it back in tiny New York City dollars. It's a steal!!!!
New York academics have got to be the worst! All the snootiness and twice the sense of entitlement!
You live in the greatest city in the world outside of Waimanalo, HI. There's a value to that, and a price tag. Pay it and enjoy it. But don't bitch when other people balk at subsidizing you.
Believe me. I feel your pain.
Now shut the f*ck up.
- dick said...
The point is that you can get those high paying jobs in other cities. You are looking at the total compensation rather than what the compensation can afford.
As an example, in Manhattan a small studio will cost about 1200-1500 in almost any decent neighborhood or more. In any city with of good size in the middle of the country, this studio would cost less than 500. What compensation do you have to make to live well in the one as opposed to the other.
Any city of a good size will require most of the jobs that NYC offers. They will have to offer compensation advantages that trump NYC or Boston or the people will just move to NYC or Boston. The fact that Boston, for example, is a net loser of people moving in tells you that other cities are meeting or beating any advantage Boston might have. Same with the California cities. California is now a net loser in population with many people moving to other states because of the high cost of living and the enormous taxes.
These are the people who are being hit by the AMT and hit hard. That is why when someone in DC or NYC or SF or Boston talks about the poor, their base of compensation is very different from what most of the country would call poor. Less than 100K poor?
- Wade_Garrett said...
mockmock - you entirely missed the point.
A lot of students from private schools, or out-of-state students at public schools, face a similar problem. Living in cities like New York and LA is expensive to begin with, but its doable -- after all, almost ten million people live there. However, people with student loans who rent their living space are put in a tough situation. If you've got $1250 a month in loans, you need to earn almost $30,000 per year just to pay off your loans. That's a lot of money, and it makes it almost impossible to take anything other than the very demanding big-firm jobs.
Or, you can get a job in a city like Buffalo, New York (my hometown) or Green Bay or something, and try to pay off those loans on your small-market starting salary, which can literally be less than half of your starting salary in a big city. There are plenty of firms in Buffalo and Green Bay that start new attorneys at $60,000 or $65,000, whereas you can earn $145,000 in your first year in New York. The higher standard of living in New York City evens out some of that difference, but the higher salary and local taxes expose you to big hits from the AMT.
- Wade_Garrett said...
Surely, you're kidding. $60,000 for student loans? I've got $120,000, and those are only law school loans. I'm fortunate enough not to have any loans left over from undergrad.
Do you think its easy to just "enter the workforce and save" the money? How long would it take you, with nothing more than a BA or BS degree, to save up $120,000 for law school, or $160,000 for medical school?
But I guess you have all the answers! Please enlighten me, what other career advice could you share?
- Jason said...
I used 60,000 because that was the figure someone above me used. The dollar figure does not matter a whit, however.
Nobody forced you to take on 120,000 in law school loans. That was your decision. You wanted to be a lawyer and pay inflated prices to get a prestigious name on your diploma.
You pay that cost out of future earnings. If you can't, well, then that wasn't a very smart investment, was it?
- Wade_Garrett said...
You need to learn to read more closely. You're just ranting against lawyers because they earn more money than you, instead of addressing my point.
This is all about the AMT. If you want a good job in the fields of law or business, you have to go where the jobs are. A lot of those good jobs are in states like New York, California, and Massachusetts, which have high state and local taxes. Law school is expensive, that's all there is to it, and that's fine, because its still a good investment. Having said that, the AMT was intended to keep high-earning citizens from taking so many exemptions that they pay very little -- or, in some cases, zero -- taxes to the federal government.
Since it hasn't been adjusted since it was implemented, it now effects debt-burdened recent graduates with working-to-middle class standards of living, because they earn a salary which, thirty years ago, would have made them wealthy. The AMT was never intended to effect 28 year old renters with a lot of student loans, but since the tax has not kept up with salary and cost-of-living inflation, that's what's happening.
Sure, we could have "chosen" not to go to law school, but if that's your argument, then you can say that our soldiers wouldn't have to worry about having inadequate resources if they had chosen not to enlist, or that Republicans wouldn't have to worry about the future of their party if they only chose not to be involved in politics. Take your reverse-snobbery class warfare somewhere else, because nobody else is buying it.

At least they still print them in the correct order. Sorry if my typing is bad I'm at the mall using an iPad at the apple store.

Due to the aweful wet summer we had last year and then the snow at lambing time it has been a really bad time for the sheep farmers in this country. Although I have had a trickle of fleece throughout the winter I underestimated how much fleece I would need to see me through til this years shearing. I have been frantically contacting people to find out if they have fleece and have procurred a little every now & then but really not enough to sustain the business.
This year I plan on buying masses, not all at once, I haven't the storage for that but if I can get a steady supply throughout the year and have a good stock by autumn there should be no shortage of curls in the shop.
I have learnt to be quite picky about what I want in a fleece and what is a good price, bearing in mind the farmer needs to eat too.
This year there should be Masham, Lincoln Longwool, Wensleydale (both black and white), Wensleydale x's, Teeswater, Blue Faced Leicester and other breeds that will be suitable for needlefelting.
I have some fabulous Galway in stock that needlefelts easily and is perfect for the inside of any creation. I've yet to dye it but it's a huge fleece so it's worth a try.
Don't forget I can dye to your requirements and with so many different fleeces in stock I'm sure I can please most people!
Next week I will be at Spring Farm for shearing day, not that I need to add to my stock of fibre, there are still many colours available to buy, just ask. I can supply it from the animal or washed.
Here's looking forward to a very woolly 2013!

David Cameron offended the whole of Luxembourg with his bid to stop the country's European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker taking up his post, a former EU commissioner has said.
Viviane Reding, now an MEP, scolded the Prime Minister for "playing the man and not the ball" in his opposition to Mr Juncker's presidency bid and said Mr Cameron could not be a team player by "sitting on the bench".
Mr Cameron publicly opposed the Luxembourger's selection as president, even forcing a rare European Council vote over it, which he lost 26-2.
Ms Reding, also a Luxembourger, urged the PM not to nominate a Eurosceptic as Britain's European Commissioner and said there was a "good argument" for sending a strong woman.
Speculation has been rife over who will get the nomination for Britain with reports suggesting early frontrunner Andrew Lansley has fallen out of favour, with Eurosceptic former Tory leader Lord Howard being mentioned in some dispatches.
Reports have indicated that Britain will seek an economic role in Mr Juncker's commission but Ms Reding warned Mr Cameron that his opposition to Mr Juncker might hinder his chances to get the role he wants.
Asked on Sky News's Murnaghan programme about Mr Cameron's opposition to Mr Juncker, Ms Reding said: "I think the whole Luxembourgian country and all its population was offended because that was clearly playing the man and not playing the ball and we did not appreciate all the negative sounds which came out of Great Britain."
Ms Reding would not be drawn into specifics on whether the PM's stance on Mr Juncker may affect his efforts to get Britain a strong role in the commission, saying: "I can tell you that politically speaking if you want to be a strong team player then you do not decide to sit on the bench."
But she urged Mr Cameron to send a woman rather than a Eurosceptic to Brussels.
Ms Reding said: "It (sending a Eurosceptic) will be an absolutely bad move from the British point of view because simply if you want to construct something together with 27 other nations you cannot send somebody who wants to destruct the whole building which has been built during the last decades.
"(Sending a woman) certainly would help because I think that there are not enough women candidates and no government, no European government, can be built in this type of world without enough female talent on board.
"So it will be a good argument to send a strong female politician to be part of the team of Jean-Claude Juncker."

The 2013 Chicago Improv Festival kicked off earlier this week with Craig Cackowski — a veteran Second City and iO performer seen in recent years on NBC's "Community" — asking the audience for a suggested location. The first reply shouted out was a filthy one, but Cackowski was game. "OK," he sighed, "we're going to put an intelligent spin on this."
And that he did, with partner Lucas Neff (of "Raising Hope"), constructing a sharply-observed, elaborately-plotted scene that transpired entirely in a Tex-Mex restaurant, site of a double-date gone awry. This place felt disturbingly real. First they played a couple of guys commiserating in the men's room; then their drinky-drunky gals waiting at the bar; then a pair of knucklehead bro-tharios named Booter and DJ. Cackowski also threw in a preternaturally calm bartender who somehow gets pulled into the mix. The whole thing was seriously funny and incredibly detailed.
This is what I've always loved about long-form two-person improv — a format honed to perfection here in Chicago. There's an elegance to it. Just two people creating every character on stage. There's something uniquely satisfying — something almost magical, even — when you watch performers tap equal parts experience and subconscious to build a fully populated world, relying on nothing more than the first thought that comes into their heads. At one point Cackowski acted out an entire bar's-worth of patrons laughing at the central characters. Ridiculous. And it worked. This kind of thing is old-hand for Cackowski, who is a relaxed performer and has the confidence of someone who has been at this for a while.
Neff, on the other hand, is an interesting case. A Chicago native, he didn't come up through the usual sketch-and-improv ranks in town. He was a storefront theater guy before he landed his role on television's "Raising Hope," and it was only once he got to LA that he started branching out. You don't see that very often. He's new to this, but he's good. And his restless energy works well in contrast to Cackowski's inner calm.
Their pairing also netted this: "I'm in a Sublime cover band called Sublemon." Some one-liners are so dumb they're genius.
Opening for Cackowski and Neff was Virgin Daiquiri, the well-regarded local team that can claim "Saturday Night Live's" Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant as past members. Led by the consistently funny Dina Facklis — hands down one of the city's top female improvisers; she deserves to be a household name by now — the eight women of the group found deep sources of comedy from the proffered suggestion: "Get liposuction." The zingers that followed were pretty brutal, including the proud mother who announces: "Here you are, all grown up and already hating your body."
Sometimes it's the non-sequiturs that really land. Facklis, like the best improvisers, knows how to steer into a brain freeze.
Abby McEnany is another standout, the kind of performer who straddles the line between no-nonsense and profoundly weird. And I will not soon forget the sprinkler-as-sex position devised by the entire group.
The Chicago Improv Festival continues through Sunday with a total of 100 shows on 20 stages, including upcoming performances by "30 Rock" alumni Scott Adsit and John Lutz, with a review to come Monday.

You really didn't build that
I've been struck lately by how quickly each presidential campaign attacks the other for the slightest misstatement. A most recent attack on President Obama grew out of his remark that none of us got to be successful on our own.
The statement reminds me a little bit of some author whose name I can't recall who once said every time you see a turtle on a fence post, you know he had some help getting there. I'm certain what President Obama meant, and I subscribe 100 percent to the theory that all of us who have had any modicum of success are in part indebted to the country in which we live and the government that provides us so many things.
Imagine for a moment the hardest worker in the world who seeks to make a living by transporting goods across the country by truck. How well would he or she fare without the interstate highway system? So the argument can be made that these folks paid for the system via their motor fuel tax; however, that argument would not stand up to close scrutiny. One of the facts concerning motor fuel tax is that there is probably as much or more gasoline consumed on the streets of cities; the taxes paid on that gasoline goes to maintain and build state and interstate highways.
In a recent article, Cal Thomas ridiculed the statement made by Obama and pointed out great newscasters Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite as great successes on their own with absolutely no help from government. Unfortunately, this shows a woeful lack of knowledge about the regulation of the broadcast media by government. Imagine for a moment if there were no Federal Communications Commission and anyone could broadcast on any frequency they chose, thereby creating a system where the most powerful station with the most wattage would be the station most listened to, to the exclusion of others. It is a basic principle in our present capitalistic and democratic system that the airwaves in America belong to the people. That ownership by the people is protected by healthy regulations concerning the use of public airwaves.
I am equally amused by successful doctors, engineers and even lawyers, who boast of being self-made with absolutely no help from anyone. The majority of us have graduated from public schools where taxpayers have paid the lion's share of the cost of our education, which enables us to pursue our professions to a successful end.
Doctors generally practice their trade in hospitals they didn't pay for. Lawyers make money at the courthouse they didn't pay for. Owners of airlines fly in airspace made safe by the Federal Aviation Administration. Passengers should and do take comfort from the fact that only qualified persons sit at the controls of airliners as required by our government.
How would the successful ship owner, no matter how hard he might work, how clever or smart he might be, succeed without the Corps of Engineers, paid for by daily, working taxpayers, keeping the waterways and ports of our nation open and properly dredged.
The successful person who continually boasts of being totally responsible for his or her success, no matter how hard they worked, is a braggart with an empty boast. They somewhat remind me of the quarterback, no matter how talented, who claims he is responsible for all of the touchdowns made by his team. A quarterback without the blocking of his linemen will never be a star. Capitalists investing in a refinery will never be successful without pumpers, gaugers, steelmen, welders, metalworkers and ordinary laborers.
Of course, hard work and perseverance is to be appreciated, even revered, in our society. Unfortunately, under our current system, many things do not speak to that end. As a great example, the earnings of a man or woman who works as hard as they can work, day and night, contributes more to support our government than does the money earned by inherited wealth, investment, economic adventures in foreign countries, or suppliers of military goods who are chosen because of their political connections rather than their low prices or quality products.
It is an actual fact that successful politicians do not elect themselves. Successful businessmen get nowhere without the assistance of faithful employees and loyal customers, all the while being protected by their government in numerous ways.Carl Parker has practiced law in Port Arthur since 1958. He is a 1958 graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. Elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1962 and the Senate in 1976, Parker continued to practice law while writing and sponsoring hundreds of bills that became laws relating to every aspect of life in Texas, including many regarding consumer safety.

Marcinek necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 87 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Ganbare Athletics
We are a new athletic apparel company that will sell quality, athletic apparel such as T-shirts, Hoodies, wifebeaters, thermals, hats, sweatpants, things like that
This is a company founded by two judo players/ grapplers so eventually we will expand our line to include judo/ jiu-jitsu gis and MMA board shorts, So, will cater towards that demographic but we want our apparel to be for everyone
"Ganbare" is a Japanese word meaning "to persevere, to never give up"
As was stated above, we will lean towards catering to the Mixed Martial Arts target audience so males 18-35 but we want our logo to be universal so that anyone can wear our clothes and carry on the "Never Give up" Message.
What we would like is really two logos in one. We would like some type of Stylized "G" for our logo something aggressive but clean and classic. think Champion, underarmour, in the MMA world, Clinch gear and then underneath The "G", "Ganbare athletics" written out in a stylized Manner so we can either use the text or the "G" or Both on our products
Since this will be used on clothing, the colors will probably be ever changing so just basic black and white will be fine but if you want to throw some color ideas in there please feel free
The attached file is a good example of a clothing company which uses a Single letter and text for its logo. Obviously, DO NOT just give use a replica of the below logo

Attorneys in Morrison & Foerster's cross-disciplinary Financial Services Enforcement Practice regularly represent domestic and foreign depository and non-depository financial services companies in a wide array of inquiries, investigations, administrative proceedings, and lawsuits initiated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Federal Reserve Board, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Department of Justice (DOJ), and state financial regulators and attorneys general. Our clients recognize that the current financial and regulatory environment makes all the more valuable the Firm's unmatched combination of sophisticated financial regulatory capabilities, industry-specific enforcement, and litigation expertise, in-depth understanding of financial markets, and wealth of experience with financial services regulators. Should an inquiry, examination, or investigation give rise to an enforcement or supervisory action, we draw on our deep substantive and procedural knowledge to provide pragmatic assessments of downside risks and prospects for acceptable and efficient resolution. If necessary, we aggressively litigate enforcement matters in administrative and judicial proceedings, as well as in appeals.
Financial services companies increasingly face the need to get ahead of potential violations before regulators initiate action. Our clients look to us to assist them in identifying potential risks and remediating those risks in advance of government action. We regularly work with in-house compliance and legal professionals to review policies and procedures, prepare gap analyses, and conduct unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices (UDAAP) reviews. We also assist management, audit committees, and special litigation committees with enterprise, product, or business-line specific risk assessments and internal investigations.
Agency actions can create special issues for public companies, and our securities regulatory and litigation lawyers assist companies with the disclosure obligations and regulatory and litigation exposure that may arise. In addition, the expansion in civil regulatory enforcement has led to an increased risk for individual executive liability and for criminal prosecution referrals. We represent corporate and individual clients in all stages of federal and state civil and criminal proceedings, and have resolved numerous complex and highly visible matters through out-of-court advocacy and negotiation with authorities.
Another focus of our practice is to advise and represent clients with regard to a wide range of matters relating to the anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) rules under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and applicable state AML laws. We also regularly counsel our clients on compliance matters under OFAC's sanctions programs. We are often called on to assist financial institutions with large and complex matters, including responding to grand jury investigations and subpoena inquiries; conducting cross-border internal investigations; and representing financial institutions or individuals in regulatory and/or criminal and civil enforcement actions in front of various federal and state law enforcement agencies and bank regulators (including federal and state prosecutorial entities, FinCEN, OFAC, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, the New York Department of Financial Services, the California Department of Business Oversight, and other state regulators). These matters allow us to combine our award-winning white-collar and litigation practice with our internationally-renowned bank regulatory and financial services practice, and our deep expertise in trade sanctions and BSA/AML. Our lawyers not only master the legal issues but also have a deep knowledge and understanding about the financial industry, and its products and players. Handling such matters with a multidisciplinary team across legal disciplines and across the globe allows us to provide the most effective representation for our clients.
We represent and advise clients on a full range of matters, including:
Our attorneys, including several veteran bank regulatory lawyers and litigators, have represented financial institutions before the government and in private litigation for more than 50 years. Our team includes attorneys who formerly held senior positions with the DOJ, the CFTC, the SEC, the Federal Reserve System, and the FTC.

The United States Chamber of Commerce is running an unprecedented $75 million campaign to unseat progressives from Congress, in defense of a big-oil agenda. As a ThinkProgress investigation has learned Chamber's donors — who send their checks to the same account from which the political campaign is run — include multinational oil corporations, and even oil companies owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain. The oil-fueled Chamber has hammered candidates who voted to limit our dependence on oil, falsely claiming they supported a "job-killing energy tax" (like Rep. Paul Hodes (D-NH), Rep Joe Sestak (D-PA), Rep. Betsy Markey (D-CO), Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), and Rep. Harry Teague (D-NM)).
The Chamber has repeatedly questioned the science behind climate change, even calling for a "Scopes monkey trial" in 2009. Numerous companies, including Apple, Exelon, PNM Resources, PG&E;, and PSEG, quit the Chamber because of their reactionary opposition to climate legislation, determined by right-wing board members like coal giants Massey, Peabody, and Consol. Multinational oil companies BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Hess, and Shell Oil fund the Chamber of Commerce through its Business Civic Leadership Council. The Chamber's anti-clean-energy agenda serves not only domestic coal barons and oil majors, but also the following foreign oil and coal companies, who are some of the dozens of foreign corporations that pay member dues to the Chamber of Commerce's 501c(6) account, which is used to fund its political ads:
— Avantha Group, India (at least $7,500 in annual member dues): power plants
— The Bahrain Petroleum Company, Kingdom of Bahrain ($5,000): state-owned oil campany
— Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, Kingdom of Bahrain ($5,000): state-owned oil company
— Essar Group, Mumbai, India ($7,500): oil & gas, coal power
— GMR, Bangalore, India ($15,000): coal power, mining
— Hinduja Group, London, UK ($15,000): the Gulf Oil group
— Jindal Power, New Delhi, India ($15,000): coal power
— Lahmeyer International, Frankfurt, Germany ($7,500): power plant engineering
— Punj Lloyd, Gurgaon, India ($15,000): offshore pipelines
— Reliance Industries, Mumbai, India ($15,000): oil and gas, petrochemicals
— SNC Lavalin, Montreal, Canada ($7,500): mining, power plant, and oil & gas engineering
— Tata Group, Mumbai, India ($15,000): power plants, oil & gas
— Walchandnagar Industries, Mumbai, India ($7,500): power plant, oil & gas engineering
— Welspun, Mumbai, India ($7,500): oil & gas exploration
"To secure America's long-term energy security, America must reexamine outdated and entrenched positions, become better informed about the sources of our fuel and power, and make judgments based on facts, sound science, and good American common sense," the Chamber argues. America will be insecure as long as the Chamber is spreading lies about science and energy supported by foreign polluter cash.

About Autism
Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders – Autism Spectrum disorders – caused by a combination of genes and environmental influences. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social and behavioral challenges, as well as repetitive behaviors. An estimated one in 88 children in the U.S. is on the Autism Spectrum – a 78 percent increase in six years that is only partly explained by improved diagnosis.

After Pakistani church bombing, Sharif gives up on Taliban peace talks
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has called off plans for unconditional peace talks with militant insurgents after a series of deadly terrorist attacks that culminated in Sunday's suicide bombing of a church, which killed 83 people.
"We had proposed peace talks with the Taliban in good faith but . . . because of this attack, the government is unable to move forward with what it planned and envisaged," a visibly upset Sharif said late Sunday on a flight to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
Peace talks with militants from Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, the formal name for the Pakistani Taliban, were a key part of Sharif's platform in the campaign ahead of May's parliamentary elections, which his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party won. The Taliban seemed to favor his proposal, excluding from their pre-election terror campaign candidates from Sharif's party and another party that had favored peace talks, the Movement for Justice Party.
But since Sharif won approval for the talks in September from leaders of the country's political parties, the Taliban have stepped up attacks, apparently seeing the idea of talks as a sign of weakness within Sharif's government and of division with Pakistan's powerful military, which opposed negotiations from the beginning.
Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud ordered the intensification of the militants' campaign of attacks and then on Sept. 14 issued two conditions for talks: the release of 50 jailed militant commanders and the withdrawal from the Taliban-infested northwest tribal areas of 150,000 Pakistani troops deployed there.
Mehsud then incensed the military by assassinating a two-star army general the following day in the northern Dir district, where Pakistani troops have been fighting Pakistani Taliban factions that fled there after military campaigns in 2009.
The assassination of Maj. Gen. Sanaullah Niazi, the highest-ranking officer to have died in a combat area since the 2007 launch of the Pakistani Taliban insurgency, strained relations between the military and Sharif, whose government had failed even to find intermediaries capable of setting up a dialogue with the militants.
Niazi's killing also angered the Pakistani public, particularly in the populous eastern section of Punjab province, a stronghold of Sharif's and the military's major recruiting ground. The church attack Sunday ended any outstanding public ambivalence, as political parties and civil society rallied behind the Christian community, which makes up roughly 2 percent of Pakistan's estimated 200 million population.
Sharif's choice of words indicated little hope of salvaging the peace initiative. He described the insurgents as "enemies of Pakistan" and apostates.
"Terrorists have no religion. . . . Targeting innocent people is against the teachings of Islam and all other faiths," he said.
The church bombing in the city of Peshawar also increased calls for Sharif to order the military to launch an assault on Pakistani Taliban strongholds in North Waziristan. Such an offensive has been discussed for years.

Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War
Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War
Traveling 2009 – 2013
Click Here for Exhibition Tour Schedule.
June 10 – November 4, 2005
In the Feature Exhibition Gallery
April 12 – June 19, 2011
In Posterity Hall
Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War, the National Constitution Center's first originally produced feature exhibition, shows how President Abraham Lincoln's leadership and constitutional vision steered the nation through its most turbulent years and into a future that forever changed America. The exhibition is organized into six main exhibit areas: "Secession Winter," "Oath of Office," "Crisis of Secession," "Crisis of Slavery," "Crisis of Civil Liberties," and "Lincoln's Legacy: The Gettysburg Address in His Time and Ours."
Through the exhibition's media and interactive elements, visitors can stand alongside Lincoln as he is sworn in as president, view Civil War military conflicts and Lincoln portraits through a replicated 1860s box camera, play a genuine 1862 board game called "The Secession Game," use clues to solve an electronic jigsaw puzzle, experience a replicated jail cell for citizens arrested for dissent or disloyalty, and more!
Abraham Lincoln's Crossroads, an interactive, educational game based on the exhibition, invites middle school and high school students to learn about Lincoln's leadership by exploring the political choices he made.
This exhibition is sponsored by Lincoln Financial Group.
The traveling panel show of Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War was developed by the National Constitution Center, in collaboration with the American Library Association, for public libraries throughout the country. The exhibition, which is traveling to 25 libraries through 2013, commemorates the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial by examining the historical context in which Lincoln served as president.
The traveling exhibition is made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life.
Images from the Exhibition
Visit Eastern Michigan University's Flickr page for photos of the exhibition's opening.
The exhibition explores the Civil War as a constitutional crisis. "Divided" higlights the issue of seccession.
The "Bound" section explores the constitutional dilemma Lincoln overcame to abolish slavery.
The "Dissent" section deals with the issue of civil liberties in wartime, drawing connections to the post 9/11 world in which we live.

Waterjet Cutting Keeps the Work Flowing
Nine times out of 10 I can tell the company owner apart from the machine operators. Okay, 99 percent of the time. Little did I know that when John Stegh greeted me at the door of Tru-Fab Technology, Inc. a few weeks back, dressed in shop overalls and ball cap, that he not only was a machine operator (a highly skilled welder, as well as a programmer and operator of the firm's laser- and waterjet-cutting machines), but also the company's founder and president.
Tru-Fab owner John Stegh works on a plate nest at the machine control tending to the firm's Omax bridge-style 80X series JetMachining Center, with x-y travel to 165 by 80 in.
Tru-Fab's 75,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, spread over four buildings in Eastlake, OH, bears absolutely no resemblance to its humble beginnings as a welding shop born in Stegh's garage in 1995. But just one year after he set up shop, to work on side jobs, Stegh had earned enough customers to move into a 1750-sq.-ft. facility. On the fast track to growth, the company moved to a 15,000-sq.-ft. shop in 1999. By 2004 when the firm relocated to its current home, Stegh had expanded well beyond welding into full-blown sheetmetal fabrication, including laser cutting; his latest investment is a 4000-W laser-cutting machine acquired in 2011. It's no wonder Tru-Fab has appeared consistently on the Weatherhead 100 list of Northeast Ohio's fastest-growing companies.
"As the business grew, so did the variety of opportunities we received from customers to take on different types of work," says Stegh, reflecting on the company's rapid evolutionary pace along with his determination to learn and grow to meet the twists and turns of his customers' needs.
Stegh counts on his waterjet-cutting machines to satisfy customers looking for fabricated components from reflective alloys, such as this motorcycle foot pedal fabricated from heavily dimpled 0.045-in.-thick copper-alloy sheet. "Our lasers could never have cut this material, and would have struggled to pierce all of the holes, but waterjet cutting worked like a charm," he says.
"Before we were able to diversify and offer the variety of capabilities that we can offer now, we tried outsourcing some work," recalls Stegh, referring to some of the unique processes his firm offers, such as deep-hole drilling and screen printing. "But some suppliers simply let us down in terms of meeting delivery dates and quality requirements. That's as good an explanation as any as to why I have acquired as much varied equipment as I have over the years."
Waterjet Capabilities are "Endless"
"The capabilities of those Omax machines are endless," Stegh says, "and often we can achieve better edge quality than we can with our lasers. We've cut stainless steel to 3 in.; capacity on our lasers is ½ in."
In addition to metal-alloy work, Stegh also waterjet-cuts nonmetals such as rubber and plastic. But he points out in particular how well the process performs on reflective alloys—copper and aluminum—where his laser-cutting machines struggle. For example, a customer that modifies motorcycles recently came to Tru-Fab in need of copper-alloy foot-pedal covers, fabricated from heavily dimpled 0.045-in.-thick sheet, and containing several small-diameter holes.
"The lasers could never have cut that material, and really would have struggled to pierce all of the holes, but waterjet cutting worked like a charm," Stegh says. Tru-Fab fabricated more than 500 of those parts, once again proving that process flexibility is a critical component to consistently satisfying customers.
"In fact, being able to turn those motorcycle foot-pedal covers very quickly led that same customer to contract us for a lot more work, including laser cutting of stainless-steel speaker covers," adds Stegh. "We've made thousands of those."
Tru-Fab waterjet-cuts parts from 3⁄8-in.-thick steel plate to fabricate these assemblies used in electrostatic precipitators.
Tru-Fab boasts some 100 active customers to which it ships parts at least monthly; most reside within a 150-mile radius of the company's Cleveland-area home base. Key end-user industries include material-handling equipment (conveyors, forklifts, etc.), medical, power generation and aerospace. It takes in orders nearly every day with part volumes of one or two to a few hundred. Head count ranges from 35 to 40, although Stegh can see that expanding to 45 within the next couple of years, noting that the firm has hired two new employees so far this year.
Programming at the Machines
While Stegh and a few others will occasionally program the waterjet-cutting machines offline, much of the jobs are programmed at the machine controller. Each machine control includes software add-ons to enable program creation and modification, particularly useful when customers come with one-off orders requiring quick turnaround.
One Omax feature Stegh particularly appreciates is its Tilt-A-Jet accessory cutting head, designed to achieve a nearly zero taper. He has it installed on the Model 55100.
"While aluminum cuts fairly straight and often does not require compensation," he says, "steel can taper quite a bit." Taper occurs because the energy of the waterjet is greater at the top of the cut than at the bottom, resulting in a wider kerf at the top. In some cases, fabricators can experience reverse taper. Here the waterjet removes more material from the bottom of the cut than from the top; the phenomenon can occur during very slow cuts or when working with very soft materials.
"The parts come off perfectly square with taper-free edges," says Stegh, "without having to reduce cutting speed—the alternative method to reduce taper. We're achieving taper as little as 0.003 in. top to bottom on 1-in. steel plate. That's unheard of, on par with wire-EDM."
In addition to software support for taper compensation, Stegh also appreciates the software's ability to control cutting-stream pressure to allow piercing of brittle materials. "That feature has allowed us to pierce and cut ceramic tile and glass," Stegh adds.The ability to quickly produce straight-walled precision cuts allows Stegh to process some work that might otherwise require CNC machining—a slower and more costly option. "And, we can waterjet-cut very small holes in thick plate that we'd otherwise have to machine," he says. "For example, we just processed a part from 3⁄4-in. mild steel that required waterjet cutting of 0.312-in.-dia. holes. Can't do that on a laser, and it's much more cost effective than CNC machining."

Redemide 50mg is also used as maintenance therapy for prohibition and suppression of the cutaneous manifestations of ENL relapsed.
Mechanism of action
The immunologic effects of thalidomide vary considerably under different conditions but may be related to overthrow of exaggerated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) production and down-modulation of selected cell surface adhesion molecules involved in leukocyte migration. For example, patients getting of thalidomide has been resulted to reduce circulating levels of TNF-a in patients with ENL, however, it has also been shown to increase plasma TNF-a levels in HIV-seropositive patients. Since cancer therapy, the drug may work as a VEGF inhibitor.
Time to peak plasma concentration is 2.9 to 5.7 hours
plasma protein binding is 55% and 66% for the (+) R and (-) S enantiomers, respectively
Metabolized hepatically by enzymes of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system.
Excreted in the urine as unchanged drug is less than 0.7% of the dose. Half-life of thalidomide is 5 to 7 hours.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 68 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Drewes Law, PLLC - see on the web: http://www.dreweslaw.com
We are a young law firm focused on assisting the side of truth and justice in numerous financial disputes including fraud cases, contract disputes, foreclosures and bankruptcy. We generally represent small businesses (less than 20 employees) and individuals. As younger attorneys from a smaller firm, we need to present ourselves as bold and competent (fresh, modern, sophisticated) from the first contact with the target audience. We office in uptown, a trendier neighborhood in Minneapolis, with an office in an unconventional older renovated building with skylights. We are frequently advocating in court rooms in front of judges for our clients.
We expect our branding to be seen by our clients as well as opposing counsel, court staff and judges. Clients are likely small businesses or individuals either dealing with financial distress or whose contract or statutory rights have been violated. Because of the non-client part of the audience, it is important that the logo remain professional.
As you can see from our bland website (http://www.dreweslaw.com), I need help with design creativity.
I recently held a contest that resulted in the attached logo for the firm. Any slight modification would be acceptable. I believe the fonts used for the logo were Trajan pro (bold) and myriad pro (light).
I am excited to see what you may come up with!

Story highlights
- Fabrice Muamba releases photo of himself in London hospital
- Muamba recovering after suffering heart attack in English FA Cup tie
- Bolton midfielder is pictured sitting up and smiling
- Aston Villa star Stiliyan Petrov diagnosed with acute leukaemia
Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba has been pictured for the first time since collapsing on the pitch with a cardiac arrrest during his side's FA Cup quarterfinal match against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on March 17.
Muamba is shown smiling and sitting up on his bed at the London Chest Hospital where he is recovering from his ordeal.
The photograph was posted Friday on the Twitter account of his girlfriend Shauna.
"Fab wanted me to post this pic for you all and to also say thank you for such overwhelming support," read the message with the picture.
The 23-year-old is wearing a T-shirt and hooded top, but is in a room full of medical equipment.
Muamba collapsed during the first half of the game at Tottenham, being stretchered off while horrified players and fans watched on. It was also being shown on television.
The match was abandoned, with Tottenham winning the replayed tie 3-1 earlier this week.
It was later revealed Muamba's heart had stopped for 78 minutes while desperate, but in the end successful, attempts were made to resuscitate him.
Meanwhile, English Premier League side Aston Villa said Friday that their captain, Stiliyan Petrov, has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
The 32-year-old Bulgarian international midfielder had undergone medical tests after going down with a fever following Villa's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal last Saturday.
"We expect to learn more about Stiliyan's situation in due course and we have moved quickly to support him and his family," the statement on the club's official website said.
"During this time we ask that Stiliyan's privacy is placed ahead of all inquiries and trust that we will share information as we receive it.
"Stiliyan is cherished by many and he will get from Villa every ounce of love and support that we have to help bring this to a positive conclusion."
Petrov, who has been capped 105 times by Bulgaria, joined Aston Villa in 2006 after spending seven years with Scottish giants Celtic where he was a big crowd favorite and helped them to four championship titles.
"We are all absolutely devastated to hear this news. As a member of the Celtic family, it is important for Stiliyan to know that he has our unequivocal support in battling against this disease," manager Neil Lennon said in a statement on the club's official website.
