Kansas: 'Religion freedoms' bill stirs clashing viewpoints
January 31, 2014
Topeka Supporters of a "religious freedoms" bill said this week that it would protect religious beliefs, but opponents said the measure would allow widespread discrimination against gays and lesbians.
Lori Wagner, of Lawrence, said she and her wife "will become the victims of real and legally sanctioned discrimination," if House Bill 2453 becomes law. Wagner was married in 2012 in Iowa, which recognizes same-sex marriages.
The bill, heard in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, says no individual, business or religious group with sincerely held religious beliefs can be required by any government agency to provide services, facilities, goods, employment or employment benefits for a same-sex marriage or domestic partnership.
Supporters of the bill said the bill was needed to provide legal protection for wedding-related businesses, such as florists and photographers, who refuse to work at same-sex weddings or ceremonies because they held religious beliefs that same-sex marriage was wrong.
Robert Noland, with the Kansas Family Policy Council, said Kansans shouldn't be compelled to do something their religion said they shouldn't do.
Michael Shuttloffel, executive director of the Kansas Catholic Conference, said, "Do we really believe mom and pop businesses should be shut down because they won't compromise their sincere religious beliefs?"
But opponents of the bill said the proposal was much broader than applying only to wedding-related situations.
State Rep. Emily Perry, D-Mission, questioned whether under the bill a police officer could cite religious reasons and refuse to render aid during a domestic disturbance that involved a same-sex couple
Micheline Burger, with the Mainstream Coalition, said that the bill would allow a waiter to refuse to serve a same-sex couple.
"This allows anyone in a private business or governmental entity, if you have religious beliefs that are sincerely held, to discriminate against anyone," Burger said.
She said the arguments for the bill were the same as those who in the past opposed marriages of blacks and whites or Jews and Catholics.
State Rep. Charles Macheers, R-Overland Park, introduced the bill, saying it would "protect religious freedoms on both sides of the marriage debate." But Tom Witt, executive director of Kansas Equality, said the bill was a pre-emptive strike to "maintain discrimination" against gays and lesbians if Kansas' ban on same-sex marriage is ruled unconstitutional as similar bans have been struck down in Oklahoma and Utah.
A fiscal note on the bill said it would cost $275,000 through July 2015 to defend legal challenges that would arise from the measure. It also said the court system would have trouble with a provision in the bill that says courts must decide within 60 days whether the claimed protection applies.

The recommendation to avoid early imaging for low back pain within the first 6 weeks of onset unless red flags are present was published August 8, 2011, as part of the alliance's list of Top 5 Health Care Activities for Which Less Is More. The Less Is More series is focused on areas that responsible physician stewardship can help improve the quality and reduce the potential harms of care. In the current literature review, the authors report that imaging for low back pain is extremely common and does not improve clinical outcomes in patients without indications of serious underlying conditions. Furthermore, they estimate that "nearly $300 million could be saved annually by restricting imaging during the first 6 weeks of lumbar back pain to specific severe indications, including severe or progressive neurological deficits or when serious underlying conditions, such as osteomyelitis, are suspected," Medscape says. Reasons why physicians may continue to order imaging for acute low back pain include legal concerns, patient preferences, time pressures that might make it easier to order an imaging procedure than to discuss the condition, and financial incentives, say the authors.

INDIANOLA, Iowa – It felt like 2011 all over again.
For the second year in a row, Wartburg got out to a big lead. For the second year in a row, Simpson came back. For the second year in a row, the outcome of the game came down to an extra point.
And for the second year in a row, Simpson scored a dramatic, one-point win over Wartburg.
Simpson erased a 13-point, first-half deficit, the passing game made big plays down the stretch and Ben Borland blocked a potential game-tying extra point with 37 seconds left as Simpson stunned Wartburg 20-19 on Saturday afternoon.
"In our program, we always talk about how the game will come back to you," head coach Jim Glogowski said. "Today it came back to us. We were down 13-0 and it would have been easy to get down on ourselves. But we are a veteran team, and right now we feel like there is nothing we can't overcome."
After Simpson pulled ahead 20-13 on Taylor Rogers' second touchdown catch of the fourth quarter, freshman quarterback Logan Schrader marched Wartburg 83 yards in just over a minute to make the score 20-19 in the final seconds.
"I had flashbacks from last year," senior tight end Alex McCarty said, referencing Simpson's 38-37 overtime win in Waverly when a blocked extra point ended the game. "Our defensive line is known for that [blocking kicks], so I knew it was something we could get done if it came down to it."
As freshman Frank Laconti – who already had an extra point and a field goal blocked – lined up for the extra point, Glogowski called a timeout to ice the young placekicker.
The move paid off. The defensive line got a good push, allowing Borland to get his right hand on the ball and deflect it harmlessly onto the ground.
"It feels great," said senior linebacker Mark Cronin, who blocked a 32-yard field goal in the second half. "We were able to come back on them last year and beat them in overtime, and this year was so similar … it's just a great feeling to get two in a row on them."
Prior to last year's win, Simpson had gone 13 years in a row without beating Wartburg, which won six conference titles during the stretch from 1997 to 2010.
Taylor Nelson threw for 439 yards and three touchdowns on 29 of 51 passing for the Storm (3-1, 1-0 Iowa Conference). The junior threw three interceptions but went 13-for-24 with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
He also converted six times on third and fourth down during the final frame.
"He'll fight is tail off," Glogowski said of his junior quarterback. "He made some poor reads and forced some ball he shouldn't have but he also made some big time plays. He's a smart football player and knows when he makes a mistake and how to correct it."
Brad Vogel caught seven passes for 202 yards and gave Simpson the spark it needed early in the game.
After spotting Wartburg 13 points by the mid-way point of the second quarter, Vogel flipped the momentum when he caught a slant from Nelson and raced 76 yards to paydirt.
"Brad stepped up when we needed a play desperately," said McCarty, who caught two passes for 12 yards. "We weren't moving the ball at all and he got a couple of blocks, took off and made a play."
In the fourth quarter it was all Rogers, who caught six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the final 15 minutes. He made nine catches for 136 yards on the day.
His first touchdown came on 4th-and-10 from the Wartburg 21, when he jumped over a Wartburg defender in the endzone to tie the game 13-13.
The defense came up big on the next drive, as TJ Alger intercepted a Logan Schrader pass to give Simpson the ball back with 2:51 on the clock.
The Storm faced 3rd-and-10 twice on the decisive drive, but converted by way of completions to Rogers and Ryan Olson.
Nelson went to Rogers one more time on first down from the 43, throwing a fade route on the home sidlelines which Rogers plucked out of the air and ran into the endzone for the go-ahead score.
Schrader completed 18 of 25 passes for 295 yards, and two touchdowns and Reese Thompson ran 14 times for 92 yards and a score for the Knights (2-2, 0-1).
Wartburg got one more chance to win it with 15 seconds left, but Logan Ruffridge was tripped up at the Simpson 16 after a 36-yard hook-and-ladder play to end the game.
Defensively, Grant Focht led the way with nine tackles. Six different players were credited with at least half of a sack, led by 1.5 from Johnnie Sims as the defense made six and 12 tackles for loss.
The kicking game provided excitement on both sides throughout the game. For Wartburg, Laconti had two extra points and a field goal blocked while punter Grant Zimmerman had a punt deflected. For Simpson, Logan Klein had an extra point and a 37-yard field goal attempt blocked.
Simpson travels to Pella next Saturday to face Central in a 1 p.m. kickoff. The Dutch (2-2, 1-0) beat league-favorite Dubuque 31-24 on Saturday.

The long awaited and often tested Bay Bridge light display went live for real Tuesday night as 25,000 LED lights were turned on on the bridge's western span.
"The Bay Lights" is an $8 million privately funded project created by artist Leo Villareal, who said he got the idea at the Burning Man festival.
Hundreds, if not thousands of people flocked to the waterfront to see Villareal press a key on his computer to begin the art that stands 500 feet tall and spans 1.8 miles.
San Francisco officials say 50 million people will come to the City to see the lights over the next two years.
The lights will be switched on a dusk every night and will stay on until 2 a.m.
"This piece is incredibly accessible, you don't have to buy a ticket, you don't have to go into a building, it's there and available," Villareal said, calling it a "digital campfire that people can be around and enjoy."
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said "The Bay Lights" will serve as "a beacon for our arts community" and will complement other large events on the waterfront, including the America's Cup sailing race starting later this year.
The mayor said he thinks the light sculpture may be so popular that people will want to keep it beyond the two years for which it has permits from state officials.
"People, including myself, will want this to be ongoing," he said.
Ben Davis, chairman of Illuminate the Arts, the group overseeing the project, said even if the lights remain past the current two-year plan, they would likely have to come down when Caltrans does its repainting and scheduled maintenance of the bridge cables in five years.
"It's on a living, working bridge and that bridge needs to be maintained," Davis said. "It's going to have to come down and another solution will have to be found or it will be an ephemeral work like it was designed to be."
The project is still seeking about $2 million in funding, which Davis said he was confident will be raised.
"This is an amazing, forward-moving project that has momentum, and the love is just starting to mount for it," he said.
Illuminate the Arts would have to foot the bill for any gap in the funding, he said.
As part of the fundraising effort, organizers are offering a "Gift of Light" campaign in which people can name one of the 25,000 lights in honor of a loved one.
Davis said the campaign has raised about $70,000 so far.
Tonight's lighting ceremony was streamed live on the project's website, www.thebaylights.org, where more than 10,000 people tuned in to see the lights come on in steady rain that began falling in San Francisco only a short time before the 9 p.m. ceremony.
Lee and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Villareal under umbrellas as the artist turned on the installation to cheers from a crowd at the invitation-only event at a waterfront hotel.
People wishing to find out more about the project or to donate can visit www.thebaylights.org.

Yes, that would surely be a shame/sad if the two Classic-Rocker's musicians Dio & Campbell never patched up their differences: but who knows maybe they did in their own way...'their the only ones who would ever know the answer to that and of course maybe Ms. Wendy Dio. In any event I treasure the legendary DIO band and it's solid line-up that brought such gripping/unforgettable Master-Classics to the World. Rest in sweet harmony Dragon Wizard Ronnie James Dio: what a Master musician-Vocalist. DIO (miss him...'his the Master) and Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry ...'what lungs are just a few of my all time favorites!!
AS for the Avatar...'this was suppose to be reserve for how to go about getting a Avatar. But none the less Mr. DIO is priceless. Rest in sweet harmony to a fine Innovatar legendary Musician/Vocalist-Wizard. DIO.

Maruti Suzuki cars are well-known for its affordability and style with decent features. After the successful decade with launch of Maruti 800, 1000, Omni, Alto, Esteem and Zen, in December 1999, Maruti launched its first compact hatchback, the Wagon R. The Wagon R became an instant hit with the middle-class families becoming proud owners of this affordable and feature rich car. Its first facelift came in 2003 and came with a MAV variant. The second facelift version, which is most seen in Indian roads today, came in 2006. The third facelift, which is called as the "Blue-Eyed Boy", came in 2010, and is the current version available in showrooms today. This car's affordable pricing along with world-class features made it a steal for many Indian car buyers.

In El Puerto de Santa María you'll experience the delights of savouring a paper cone of boiled prawns and a glass of fino (the local fortified wine) by the sea. But before you do, you'll probably have watched the seafood being boiled to perfection at a seafood bar and then bought something delicious by the quarter or half kilo. Or you might have decided to sit at a pavement cafe and try a few delicacies such as king prawns, gilthead, grilled cuttlefish or "ortiguillas" (fried anemones). The best time of the year is the summer, and one of the best places in the city for seafood and fish is the Ribera del Marisco and surrounding area. You'll also find excellent restaurants near Valedgrana beach, which offer other typical dishes such as "tortillitas de camarones" (tiny crustaceans mixed with a dough of wheat flour then fried), "piriñaca" (tomato, pepper, onion and olive oil salad) or "huevas aliñadas" (fish roe salad).

We're doing a season-long NFL roundtable with our friends at Slate. Check back here each week as a rotating cast of football watchers discusses the weekend's key plays, coaching decisions, and traumatic brain injuries.
« Previous entry | Next entry »
From: Stefan Fatsis
To: Emma Carmichael, Dan Kois
Oh, you kids and your teams. My own fandom–that is, my reflexive elation or dejection over the final score–has moved in inverse proportion to my proximity to the games. After two decades of sportswriting, I just can't get worked up when HOW COULD YOU DROP THAT CATCHABLE BALL, HAKEEM NICKS! ACK! ELI MANNING FACE! Sure, I'd still choose to watch a Giants game over others, and my vestigial fan tail wags faster when, say, Big Blue is driving toward a Super Bowl victory over smug New England, or even when they come back and beat the Cowboys in a 37-34 regular-season thriller. But my rooting these days is rooted more in whom I know or what I've seen. Even though I grew up loathing the Redskins, I was glad for Mike Shanahan that he beat New York on Sunday.
What I love more than particular teams are particular plays. We've had a wide-ranging conversation about football's Big Issues here, from Tebow to HGH to the existential crisis of the player to Tebow to end-zone celebrations to going for it on fourth down to Tebow to concussions to Tebow. But apart from my own personal obsession, we've offered scant appreciation for the individual acts that make football football. I may be anhedonic about wins and losses, but I love athletic genius–the one-handed catch, the two-feet-just-in-bounds interception, the ACL-defying cutback, the precision pass, the punt that dies on the 1-yard line, the 108-yard kickoff return. I even love watching Tebow slash and cut and bull his way into the end zone. Really.
Fans take for granted how remarkably gifted NFL athletes are. Instead, they are the protectors of our irrational allegiances, our fantasy-team starters, the psychic bulwarks that determine whether Monday is good or bad. They're also, as Nate Jackson has explained, cogs in the machine, denied their creative instincts in the service of the master plan. The master plan itself is deployed in the service of something even greater–winning–but it can often be dull, for players and fans alike. If news is something out of the ordinary, then there's nothing more newsworthy than an unusual play, and I love those, too.
NFL players slog through the work week "installing" an entirely new set of formations and plays designed to outwit the next opponent. Over the course of the season, they memorize and implement in practice several hundred plays, each slightly different than the last, most of which are never used. Teams also practice a few unusual plays on the rare chance a coach will roll the dice; retired Broncos kicker Jason Elam told me Shanahan had him practice a fake field goal called "Rainbow Right" for a dozen seasons before agreeing to call it. (Elam pulled a hamstring on the play.) So a "trick" play is not just an aesthetic break from what we normally see, for the players it's a psychological release, a deviation from the scripted and familiar. When it works, players are as joyful as you will see them on a field.
So here's to my second-favorite play of the NFL season, executed beautifully by Carolina on Sunday. (No. 1 by far is the Bears' brilliant punt-return bait-and-switch against the Packers in Week 3.) The Panthers, up 14-0 to Houston on the road, have the ball on the Texans' 7-yard line. Quarterback Cam Newton stands two yards behind center Ryan Kalil. Tight end Richie Brockel stands adjacent to Newton on the right. Running back DeAngelo Williams and wide receiver Steve Smith line up in an I formation four and six yards behind Newton.
The Panthers' linemen are upright as the Texans' defense tries to figure out how to position itself. Normal pre-play stuff. But while everyone's still getting situated, Kalil snaps the ball to Newton, who takes a stutter step to his right, pirouettes, and sprints rightward, with Williams trailing as if they're running the option. Unnoticed by the entire Texans defense, however, Newton has tucked the ball under Brockel's butt and into Brockel's hands on the other side. Brockel freezes in his blocking stance for nearly a full second before he–with the entire Panthers line protecting him–runs to the left and into the corner of the end zone.
If you didn't see it, take a minute and go watch it now. It's brilliant. As is the pure, Pop Warner end-zone celebration. Brockel spikes the ball, his linemen jump up and down, Newton rushes over and leaps, dogpile style, on his teammates. No one does anything to offend Bob Costas. It's pure athletic elation. And why? Because the Panthers got away with something. They fooled the other guys. They had fun.
Cynics will say that when you're 4-9, your season is no longer about the deathly serious business of Making the Playoffs, so you can afford to install a play that writers claimed was inspired by the game-winning "Annexation of Puerto Rico" hidden-ball play in the cinematic classic Little Giants (6:00 mark). And you can't do it all the time, anyway, because opponents would be prepared. And the TV companies aren't paying $7 billion a year to watch the football version of the Harlem Globetrotters.
And, finally, coaches, willing though they might be to "install" a routine-breaking play occasionally, don't want players or fans to become accustomed to such frivolity. After the game, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera talked about the "timing" and "execution" of the play. Not a word about the fact that it looked like everyone had a great time running it. "We're not here to get fans excited about [trick plays]," Rivera party-pooped. "We want to get them excited about the fact we can win football games."

Durres 1961: Beijing on Sea
From 1960 until 1978 Albania played a most peculiar role in history. Having broken with the Soviet Union and with Tito's Yugoslavia, Albania sided with Mao's China in the Sino-Soviet split. Where Soviet aid was abruptly halted the Chinese stepped into the breach sending technicians and workers to the Balkan state. Albania under Enver Hoxha was infamous as a Stalinist, hermit-state so when in 1961 Harry Hamm, a journalist with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, received permission to visit he at first assumed this must be a mistake. The period of the Sino-Albanian alliance is in desperate need of a modern history, but when someone writes it, they are sure to make use of Hamm's fascinating book, the result of his trip there. Here are his observations of the Chinese he saw, but was unsuccessful in talking to, on a trip to Durres, which he calls by its Italian name of Durazzo.
The Chinese were the most cheerful people I met anywhere in Albania. Always smiling and full of fun, they seemed to feel perfectly happy on outpost duty in the Mediterranean. Nonetheless they were both hard working and disciplined. Although they had adapted themselves to wear Western-style clothing, rather than the notorious blue uniform clothes that give their homeland such an unpleasantly militant appearance, there was still a gulf between them and the people around them. In Durazzo, I had a good opportunity to take a long look at the Chinese visitors. I saw that, while they were always polite, they still kept entirely to themselves. It was difficult, if not impossible, to get into conversation with them, not only for the few foreigners living in the hotel, but even for Albanians.
Every morning on the stroke of eight, jeeps and buses picked them up from the hotel and took them nobody knew where. Each evening they reappeared, to have a swim or to play about like children on the beach. At a given time, they disappeared as if on a signal: It was time to start the political indoctrination lesson. The sing-song voices of the instructors would be heard from the part of the hotel where the Chinese lived, and then there would be the sounds of animated discussion.
They had free time, too, but they used it much more intensively than any other guests, sitting in the hotel foyer reading or studying the Albanian language, or poring over thick technical volumes. Occasionally, a group would get together for communal singing, and the strange sounds that floated through the hotel only emphasized the strange, almost eerie situation that had come about as a result of the Albanian leaders' change of political course.
Just as fascinating are Hamm's observations about the ruling elite and clan around Enver Hoxha which he noted "exercises unfettered power and unconcernedly enjoys its privileges."
There is not much evidence of bonds of "solidarity with the toiling masses". Members of the clan lead their own lives, sealed off from the mass of the people.
I was continually surprised that the openly practiced class privilege seemed to be so little resented by the ordinary man-in-the-street. Perhaps this unconcern is rooted in the fact that class differences have always existed in Albania. Basically, then, the Communists are only carrying on what has been the normal way of life since anyone can remember.
Later, however Hamm notes that,
It is not class privilege, but the permanent reign of terror and the pitiless despotism that seem to me to be the main reasons for a smoldering, and as yet hardly definable, dissatisfaction all over Albania. The signs of this dissatisfaction used to be repeated "purges". Now there is a new source of uneasiness
Albania . Harry Hamm. Translated by Victor Anderson. 1963.

About Me Budget Shopper
I ordered this table for our church library, mostly because the price was right and it matched two larger bistro tables I had ordered for the room. I wasn't disappointed. It is rustic (surface is purposely slightly uneven), and it goes well with our slate floor. It is very sturdy, went together well, and looks GREAT in the library between two glider rockers. I could not be happier with it!

AIA Pleased with Stable and Steady Investment in Space
March 4, 2014
Statement by Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Marion C. Blakey on the release of the President's fiscal year 2015 Budget Request for NASA.
Arlington, Va. — The Aerospace Industries Association is pleased to see that President Obama's proposed budget request for NASA in fiscal year 2015 continues stable investment in space programs for our nation's future while also making key investments in aeronautics, science and technology development. At $17.5 billion, the request is nearly even with last year's request and is a significant increase over the $16.6 billion NASA received in 2013 under sequestration.
Programs like the International Space Station, James Webb Space Telescope, Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and the Space Launch System are all making great progress and are strongly backed by both parties in Congress. While budget details on specific exploration accounts are not yet available, we are encouraged that the President's request supports human exploration and we look forward to learning more details on the President's recommendations to increase space investments. These programs support important and unique developments that will improve life on earth from new medical breakthroughs to amazing scientific discoveries that fuel our understanding of the beginnings of the universe and propel our exploration efforts beyond Earth orbit.
In addition, we strongly support the proposal to extend the space station until at least 2024; the work that is being done there cannot be replicated at any other national laboratory. Strong investment in the commercial crew program is the quickest way for our nation to restore independent American access to the station and avoid the increasing uncertainties and costs of paying Russia to transport our astronauts. Finally, NASA's aeronautics research budget should be fully supported, as it works hand-in-hand with the FAA on the Next Generation Air Transportation System, upgrading our aging national airspace infrastructure and saving billions of dollars in fuel and environmental impacts over the next decades. Innovations in aviation technology driven by NASA aeronautics contribute to the largest surplus in America's balance of trade.
AIA urges Congress to fully fund the fiscal year 2015 NASA budget.

Forms Jobs
The Winston Salem Police Department needs your help in helping us catch criminals. Operation ID allows you as citizens to record and keep a listing of valuable items that you keep in your home. These items include electronic equipment, lawn equipment, jewelry, etc. Our template allows you to record and categorize different criteria such as make, model, color, style, and most importantly serial number/owner applied number. An Owner Applied Number (OAN) is a number that you choose to specifically identify that piece of property as belonging to you. NEVER use your social security number as an OAN.
Each time property is taken in a crime, a description of the property is entered into the WSPD Records Division via an Incident Report. If there is a serial number/OAN that number along with the property description is entered into a national database that is used by law enforcement agencies across the United States.
If a law enforcement agency recovers a piece of property and searches by the serial number/OAN, the National Crime Information Computer (NCIC) will automatically send an alert that the property is stolen along with the appropriate information of the reporting agency. By having the serial number/OAN recorded and available for the police to enter, this greatly increases our chance of recovering your item(s) that were stolen.
If you have any questions on this program, please contact the Winston Salem Police Department - Community Resources Unit at 336-773-7835.

The subject title says it all. To listen to some GOP'ers talk, you'd think socialism was Communism.
Views: 2488
Well of course they are fools, they seems to have no idea of economics and what is actually need to run a country, but that has been a general rule in Denmark is: 4-8 years with Socialist who fucks up the economic and then 4-12 years with liberals trying to fix the economic.
The socialist in my country seems to have any sense for realism and some of my Norwegian friends have the same idea :) of course our liberals are more what should we say red than others, they still seem more "adult"
So I would say yes it is do to socialism (boy my old government teacher is going to kill me), because the parties with a liberal point of view is better leaders in my opinion. But of course we have some nutheads on the right (Our political system is divide into LEFT - Center - Right, left being social/kommu) to.
And no I am not political active
Here's for the continuation of a continuing blue Sweden, a blue Norway come next year, and a blue Denmark asap (though I doubt Helle is in a rush..)
He he Gucci Helle is never in a rush
Dear Unseen,
I read your link and it appears to be from a blog post. I have googled the 'happy country' expression and have found the following information on the current 'Happy Planet' survey.
I was moved to review your results above when I noticed the UK did not appear at all. Strangely, in the list on this link, the UK ranks at 41, whereas the USA doesn't appear until 105.
I believe that any national list has probably the desire to reflect it's own country high on such criteria. However, the seemingly independent link attached also has a further link embedded within it that describes the formula used to make these calculations.
I do not see a 'socialist/fascist/libertarian' pattern in these countries and their order on the list, but you may well be more knowledgeable than I on that front.
That's a horrible measure as the denominator used is resource consumption, thus the richer the country the less happy it will be, ceteris paribus. The Columbia University's World Happiness Report is a much more authoritative source.
I doubt if anyone here is going to bother reading the report, much less all the footnotes. I did look in it for a country-by-country list and didn't see one.
I see that the majority of the countries ahead of the US in the report are countries with far more socialism than the US.
Weeeeeell, the majority of the difference is that the countries on top have government supplied healthcare, which usually make up 12-15% of GDP. Ex-healthcare there is still somewhat higher government involvement in the economy, but not a major difference. By which I mean that 5-8% higher involvement isn't "major", and there is still private property rights and the majority of the productive capacity is under private ownership.
As mentioned elsewhere, North Korea is the only country which can be said to be socialist. In addendum I could say that Somalia is a country which has an almost perfect market economy. All other countries tend to be on a scale in between, with most countries having 35-50% government control.
Socialism is an economic idea (central planning, government ownership) as well as a multitude of political ideas of how to make that happen (leninism, troskyism, maoism). North Korea has a socialist economy, wholly centrally planned and with full government ownership, as well as a political Juche ideology which is a volatile mixture of leninism, maoism, nationalism, and self-sufficiency. (Not exhaustive lists.)
North Korea could perhaps best be described as a national socialist state.
@ Arcus
There's a sense in which only a country which is socialist top to bottom can be called a socialist country. As the term is used here in the USA, however, having socialist tendencies can be enough for a country to be called "socialist."
@Blaine Levitt
Actually, North Korea is (or professes to be) a Communist country, and Communism traditionally has allowed for a so-called "dictatorship of the proletariat."
