Zaragoza Turismo. Autor: Daniel Marcos
Chocotour route
Do you like chocolate? What's your favourite? White, dark, with candied fruit, as ice-cream…? You can enjoy it practically any way you can imagine in the fun, and above all delicious, activities on offer in the city of Zaragoza.
We can start with the Chocotour, an original way to discover a destination which is intimately linked with the history of chocolate. Chocolate is supposed to have been first introduced into Spain by the monks of a village near Zaragoza, Nuévalos.
If you take this route you can visit and try the products of several of Zaragoza's traditional chocolatiers, such as Pastelería Fantoba, and attend tastings in amazing settings, like the courtyard of the Pablo Gargallo Museum. You'll see artisan chocolate makers at work, learn to distinguish the different types of chocolate, and then show off all your newly-acquired knowledge to your friends...
All the scheduled visits start at 11 am on Saturday, begin at La Lonja (Plaza del Pilar) and take two hours. To buy tickets, ask about prices or any other questions you may have about this route, just go to any of the city's Tourist Offices.
Another chocolate-related option is the Chocopass, a special pass letting you try different chocolatier specialities in over 20 establishments, as well as a chocolate tasting at the famous Monasterio de Piedra. And if you're also interested in fine dining in general, you'll probably like what Saborea Zaragoza has to offer. This is a route through the Central Market, an organic food market, and the gourmet space at Puerta Cinegia, and you can also try local dishes in traditional restaurants. ¿Te puedes resistir a esta tentación?

We have all been created for greater things — to love and to be loved. Love is love — to love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Works of love are works of peace and purity. Works of love are always a means of Becoming closer to God, so the more we help each other, the more we really love God better by loving each other. Jesus very clearly said, 'Love one another as I have loved you,' Love in action is what gives us grace. We pray and, if we are able to love with a whole heart, then we will see the need. Those who are unwanted, unloved, and uncared for become just a throwaway of society -that's why we must really make everybody feel wanted.
"There is something else to remember — that this kind of love begins at home. We cannot give to the outside what we don't have on the inside. This is very important. If I can't see God's love in my brother and sister then how can I see that love in somebody else? How can I give it to somebody else? Everybody has got some good. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there."

From Mel's Kitchen Cafe
- 3 1/2 cups water, plus extra if needed
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 12 ounces (about 3 cups) elbow macaroni
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
- 6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Bring 3 1/2 cups water, 1 cup of the evaporated milk, the macaroni, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook at a vigorous simmer, stirring often, until the macaroni is tender and the liquid has thickened, 9 to 12 minutes.
- Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk, the cornstarch, mustard and hot sauce together in a small bowl, then stir into the skillet. Continue to simmer slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
- Off the heat, stir in the cheddar and Monterey Jack, one handful at a time, adding water as needed to adjust the consistency of the sauce (I didn't need any additional water when I made it). Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Ham and Pea Variation: Follow the recipe, adding 4 ounces deli-style baked ham, diced medium, and 1/2 cup frozen peas to the skillet with the cornstarch mixture in step 2.

Medical illustrator knows where to 'draw the line'
A. Sue Weisler
Snoopy has a secret. Charles Schultz knew it, and so does Jim Perkins. The secret is in the economy of line.
"Think about how much emotion Charles Schultz is able to get from his characters with just a few simple lines," says Perkins '92 (M.F.A. medical illustration), co-director of the medical illustration program, with joint appointments in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences and the College of Health Sciences and Technology. "Think about the expression on Charlie Brown's face. That's challenging. I have a lot of respect for cartoonists and people who are able to evoke so much feeling from a few simple lines."
The elegance and communicative power conveyed by minimal line characterizes Perkins' style. His work was recognized internationally in an exhibit of 23 handpicked artists—only three from the United States—invited to participate in "Anatomy of an Image," at the World Congress of the Association Européenne des Illustrateurs Médicaux et Scientifiques last November in Strasbourg, France. The work of each artist exemplified 23 subgenres of medical illustration.
Perkins' line drawings represented the category of "user guide," or "a series of illustrations depicting the proper use of a medical device or apparatus," he says. The drawings he created for James Sanders, M.D., at the University of Rochester Medical Center depict a child undergoing the correction of infantile scoliosis, a spinal deformity, followed by the positioning of a fiberglass body cast. The illustrations were originally published in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics.
"The illustrations look simple at first glance, but there's a great deal of variation in line thickness and detail to create an illusion of depth and form," Perkins says.
The exhibit will become part of the permanent collection at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and will be used to educate school groups about medical illustration.
Students pursuing this field must learn to think like an artist and a scientist.
"I approach my medical illustration work as a way of communicating a scientific concept," Perkins says. He reminds his own students that "a beautiful rendering alone isn't worth very much unless it really gets a point across and tells a story."
By the time they graduate, his students have learned to balance the artistic approach and the message with needs of the intended audience.
Perkins and co-director Glen Hintz teach these concepts to 40 undergraduates and seven graduate students. They are looking to increase exposure and boost enrollment in the graduate program through accreditation from the Association of Medical Illustrators.
Last fall, the graduate program moved to the new College of Health Sciences and Technology. The undergraduate program remained in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences, giving Perkins and Hintz a foot in both colleges. Likewise, the move gives graduate students access to research opportunities created through the RIT-Rochester General Health System Alliance.
"One of the key things that distinguishes the grad program from the undergrad program is the fact that the graduate students are expected to do a lot more independent research and to produce a master's thesis," he explains. "That thesis involves creating artwork that communicates some cutting-edge concept in the health sciences. Being in the new college we hope will align our grad students more closely with the faculty and the researchers in those areas."

Connecticut may not be the world's capital of hedge funds, but it's not far off -- literally or figuratively.
The state has the third-most hedge funds managing more than $1 billion in assets, trailing only New York and London, according to a report by alternative assets data and research outfit Preqin.
If you add up all the assets managed by members of the so-called "Billion Dollar Club," Connecticut leapfrogs London into second place.
The rankings are part of the "2014 Preqin Global Hedge Fund Report" and are previewed in the company's May "Hedge Fund Spotlight" newsletter.
"New York, London and Connecticut are undoubtedly the centers of the billion-dollar club," said Preqin, which has offices in London, New York, Singapore and San Francisco.
Heavy hitters
Overall, New York has 174 hedge fund managers who oversee more than $1 billion in assets, the report said. London has 80 such managers, while Connecticut has 35, California has 34 and Massachusetts has 29, rounding out the top 5.
Collectively, the 35 managers in Connecticut oversee $400 billion in assets, which is only behind New York's $938 billion. Such managers in London oversee $346 billion, while those in Massachusetts are responsible for $190 billion and those in California for $159 billion, the report stated.
Westport-based Bridgewater Associates is far and away the global giant. With its $157 billion in assets under management, Bridgewater -- founded in 1975 by now-Greenwich resident Ray Dalio -- is three times bigger than anyone else on the list.
The world's second-largest hedge fund is Greenwich-based AQR Capital Management, according to the ranking. The firm, headquartered on the fourth floor of Two Greenwich Plaza, has $53.3 billion in assets under management -- $10 billion more than third place, the New York-based Och-Ziff Capital Management, according to the report.
Different strokes
Hedge funds -- loosely defined limited partnerships of investors that use high risk methods such as investing with borrowed money in hopes of realizing large capital gains -- have grown into a $2.66 trillion industry. Ninety percent of those assets are managed by these billion-dollar club members.
Since last spring, the number of global fund managers has grown to 4,600 from 4,150, the report said, while the number of total funds has grown to 10,500 from 10,000. More than 500 of those managers are in the billion-dollar club.
Within that club, different patterns emerge. There are 25 "mega-fund managers," overseeing more than $20 billion each. On average, those funds date to 1991, underscoring the importance of establishing a brand to such massive growth, the report said. Together, they have $834 billion under management and average about $33.4 billion each.
Among these funds, 41 percent use at least a global macro or a muti-strategy approach. Just 32 percent of them use a long/short strategy, according to the report.Read Full Article
"Firms like (Guerney-based) BlueCrest Capital and AQR Capital Management offer a multitude of strategies and have become giants within the hedge fund space using this approach," the report noted.
Meanwhile, 46 percent of funds that manage between $1 billion and $4.9 billion employ a long-short investing strategy. Only 8 percent of such funds use a multi-strategy, which typically requires more resources.
The smaller end of the billion-dollar club is relatively younger, with funds dating back on average to 1997. Over half of them were started after 2000 and over half of them employ just one investing approach, the report said.
"Some strategies, such as macro strategies and multi-strategy, have the potential to offer more scope for asset growth than strategies such as long/short equity," the report said.
Growing pool
Still, the long/short managers have something to smile about. Since last spring, 46 institutions have joined the "exclusive club" of investors that allocate more than $1 billion to hedge funds. That's up from 26 institutions that joined the ranks during the previous year.
Overall, Preqin tracks 203 such investors. About 25 percent of them are public pension funds, about 16 percent of them are sovereign wealth funds and about 15 percent of them are private sector pension funds.
So what's the most-common strategy they want to invest in over the coming year?
About half of them indicated an interest in investing in long/short equity strategies, Preqin noted.

Snips and snaps
Hairdressers are notorius for being cutting and Charlie Price is no exception. One of the owners of Denver's Click salon, Price is in the spotlight as a contestant on season two of Bravo TV's "Shear Genius." He's funny, talented and ambitious, qualities that helped him land a spot on the show and make for entertaining viewing. Only one episode has aired so far, but Charlie is already taking swipes at judge Kim Vo and dissing some of the competition. (Of Vo, he told us, "He only has one expression. His face freaks me out.")
Everyone we talked to in Denver about Charlie has done a hair show with him, trained with him or worked with him in a salon. Either the business is more incestuous than we suspected or he's just become a fixture. He founded and built Planet Laboratories, has done fashion shows in New York and Europe and has won big awards in the hairstyling world. But did that experience adequately prepare him for reality TV?
Charlie has the chops to go a long way, but in "Shear Genius," as with other Bravo staples like "Project Runway," you never know if the judges will reward creativity or punish it. Kelly Atterton, west coast editor of Allure magazine, liked what she saw of Charlie's work in the first challenge. "You took a risk and made us laugh," she said of the blue haystack he created on a model's head to make her look like Marge Simpson.
However it turns out, Charlie said in an interview that he'll never again spend his own money to do a runway show or other promotion. "Those days are over," he said, noting that if his services are desired, a designer or hair products company can pay.
So what do you think his chances are?

Precious time is often lost through the handling of Retail Pos System . Similarly, the more cash is handled the greater the security risk in stores. Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Retail Pos System ?
There are a number of channels of distribution available to the producer, which may be employed by him to bring his products to the market and use point of sale software. Consumer goods may be distributed generally through channels, in each of which the manufacturers may use the sales branch or sales office as the additional alternative. One of the channels used is Producer-Consumer, where no middleman is involved. Sales are made from house to house or by direct mail.
A second channel is Producer-Retailer-Consumer, by which goods may be purchased directly from manufacturers. Retail stores may also be opened by manufacturers by this channel.
A stockist or distributor or wholesaler is also a large sized operator but not on par with the marketer or sole selling agent in level, size and territory of operation. Stock holding and sub-distribution, as per the policies laid down by the manufacturers or the marketers, are the main functions of stockists/distributors pos retail equipment.
What Is A Point of Sale System?
It can be challenging to find the right Point of Sale software system for your business. This article provides a checklist of features you should consider when making your decision. In part one, we will look at point-of-sale, customer tracking, and security features.
Point of Sale
This is the heart of a POS system. Does it feature an intuitive user interface? Will you be able to train employees quickly? Can you customize the software for your unique needs? Features to look for:
- Touch screen support.
- Customizable menu buttons to access frequently sold items.
- Customizable receipts and invoices.
- Ability to email receipts.
- Ability to create and manage quotes, layaways, special orders and workorders.
- Ability to manage gift registries.
- Ability to set up automatic add-on sale suggestions or substitutes for out-of-stock items.
- In-house gift card/store credit tracking.
- Ability to import tickets from a remote location, such as a trade show.
- Ability to interface with credit card processing software. Will you need to switch to a different processor than the one you are currently using?
- Support for electronic signature capture.
- Support for debit card cash back.
- Support for foreign currency.
- Ability to calculate and track sales tax for different municipalities, different customer types, and different types of inventory items.
- Ability to manage recurring billings, (for example, subscriptions).
- Ability to manage tips and customer tabs
- Ability to compute and track commissions and spiffs.
Your point of sale system can help you prevent employee fraud and assist you in loss prevention. Features to look for:
- Bad check tracking.
- Integrated video surveillance.
- Ability to limit employee access and rights.
- Option to require login for each sale or after a specified period of inactivity.
- Security tracking log so you know which employee handled a void, price override, return, etc.
What Is A Point of Sale System?
Observe your typical consumer with pos system when they're out shopping and you'll see that most people will buy something that they did not intentionally set out to buy. This is down to a number of things. Call it what you will - 'an impulse buy' or 'because I deserve a treat' or simply 'I have to have it!'
I believe that the simple reason behind a large number of these purchases, are down to clever marketing and eye-catching and believable promotional displays.
Indeed - how many times yourself have you been stopped in your tracks in a store, when first your mind sees a display, then you recognise the product from the advert you saw on the TV the other day and remember that 'this promised to reduce my wrinkles instantly'
So you walk over, stop and pick up the product and read the back of the box. It, along with the literature shown on the POS display re-confirms the claim. You decide it's a bit pricey but you really want to use this product because it will reduce my wrinkles! You want to buy it, because it will make you feel better about yourself. You go ahead and buy it and leave the store feeling happier because of your purchase. You're going to look and feel better!
So, my recommended lists of five steps to increase sales of your product through cleverly manufactured POS displays are:
1. Find a company that understands the needs of you, the client and the targeted market for your project.
2. Give a clear and concise brief and understand the budget. What does your favoured cost include and exclude.
3. Understand your brand, what may or may not the display build company use.
4. Ensure your chosen company has your trust. They will go the extra mile for you.
5. Keep in touch! It's good to talk and silly mistakes will be avoided.
Finally, sit back and enjoy fantastic product sales for all point of sale software!

People who are accomplished in one field of expertise tend to believe that they can bring unique insights to just about any other debate. I am as guilty as anyone: at one time or another, I aired my thoughts on anything from CNC manufacturing, to electronics, to emergency preparedness, to politics. Today, I'm about to commit the same sin - but instead of pretending to speak from a position of authority, I wanted to share a more personal tale.
The author, circa 1995. The era of hand-crank computers and punch cards.
Back in my school days, I was that one really tall and skinny kid in the class. It wasn't trying to stay this way; I preferred computer games to sports, and my grandma's Polish cooking was heavy on potatoes, butter, chicken, dumplings, cream, and cheese. But that did not matter: I could eat what I wanted, as often as I wanted, and I still stayed in shape. This made me look down on chubby kids; if my reckless ways had little or no effect on my body, it followed that they had to be exceptionally lazy and must have lacked even the most basic form of self-control.
As I entered adulthood, my habits remained the same. I felt healthy and stayed reasonably active, walking to and from work every other day and hiking with friends whenever I could. But my looks started to change:
The author at a really exciting BlackHat party in 2002.
I figured it's just a part of growing up. But somewhere around my twentieth birthday, I stepped on a bathroom scale and typed the result into an online calculator. I was surprised to find out that my BMI was about 24 - pretty darn close to overweight.
"Pssh, you know how inaccurate these things are!", I exclaimed while searching online to debunk that whole BMI thing. I mean, sure, I had some belly fat - maybe a pizza or two too far - but nothing that wouldn't go away in time. Besides, I was doing fine, so what would be the point of submitting to the society's idea of the "right" weight?
It certainly helped that I was having a blast at work. I made a name for myself in the industry, published a fair amount of cool research, authored a book, settled down, bought a house, had a kid. It wasn't until the age of 26 that I strayed into a doctor's office for a routine checkup. When the nurse asked me about my weight, I blurted out "oh, 175 pounds, give or take". She gave me a funny look and asked me to step on the scale.
Turns out it was quite a bit more than 175 pounds. With a BMI of 27.1, I was now firmly into the "overweight" territory. Yeah yeah, the BMI metric was a complete hoax - but why did my passport photos look less flattering than before?
A random mugshot from 2007. Some people are just born big-boned, I think.
Well, damn. I knew what had to happen: from now on, I was going to start eating healthier foods. I traded Cheetos for nuts, KFC for sushi rolls, greasy burgers for tortilla wraps, milk smoothies for Jamba Juice, fries for bruschettas, regular sodas for diet. I'd even throw in a side of lettuce every now and then. It was bound to make a difference. I just wasn't gonna be one of the losers who check their weight every day and agonize over every calorie on their plate. (Weren't calories a scam, anyway? I think I read that on that cool BMI conspiracy site.)
By the time I turned 32, my body mass index hit 29. At that point, it wasn't just a matter of looking chubby. I could do the math: at that rate, I'd be in a real pickle in a decade or two - complete with a ~50% chance of developing diabetes or cardiovascular disease. This wouldn't just make me miserable, but also mess up the lives of my spouse and kids.
Presenting at Google TGIF in 2013. It must've been the unflattering light.
I wanted to get this over with right away, so I decided to push myself hard. I started biking to work, quite a strenuous ride. It felt good, but did not help: I would simply eat more to compensate and ended up gaining a few extra pounds. I tried starving myself. That worked, sure - only to be followed by an even faster rebound. Ultimately, I had to face the reality: I had a problem and I needed a long-term solution. There was no one weird trick to outsmart the calorie-counting crowd, no overnight cure.
I started looking for real answers. My world came crumbling down; I realized that a "healthy" burrito from Chipotle packed four times as many calories as a greasy burger from McDonald's. That a loaded fruit smoothie from Jamba Juice was roughly equal to two hot dogs with a side of mashed potatoes to boot. That a glass of apple juice fared worse than a can of Sprite, and that bruschetta wasn't far from deep-fried butter on a stick. It didn't matter if it was sugar or fat, bacon or kale. Familiar favorites were not better or worse than the rest. Losing weight boiled down to portion control - and sticking to it for the rest of my life.
It was a slow and humbling journey that spanned almost a year. I ended up losing around 70 lbs along the way. What shocked me is that it wasn't a painful experience; what held me back for years was just my own smugness, plus the folksy wisdom gleaned from the covers of glossy magazines.
Author with a tractor, 2017.
I'm not sure there is a moral to this story. I guess one lesson is: don't be a judgmental jerk. Sometimes, the simple things - the ones you think you have all figured out - prove to be a lot more complicated than they seem.

Shug McGaughey finally finds his Kentucky Derby grail
- McGaughey career incomplete until now
- At 62%2C he finally gets some closure on a Hall of Fame career
- Even rival trainer happy for him
LOUISVILLE -- Shug McGaughey dared to dream of the morning after — of waking up in a brave new world in which he had won the Kentucky Derby.
It was his goal. It was his grail. It was the most prominent missing piece in a lifetime of racing, the Hall of Fame trainer's transcendent but elusive prize, the crowning glory of the sport of kings.
And now, it is done. With his head splattered with mud and his hooves eating ground with ever-surer strides, a formidable 3-year-old called Orb surged down the stretch Saturday to bring its 62-year-old trainer conquest and closure.
DERBY:Orb notches fifth consecutive win
WATCH:Orb pulls ahead for Derby glory
"The way it's going to change my life is, I don't have to worry about it anymore," McGaughey said. "I worried about it for a while. I'm not going to let anybody know that, but inside it was always there."
As much as McGaughey has accomplished at America's racetracks, he felt incomplete without a Derby victory. He understood that all of his trophies, earnings and accolades lacked the universal resonance of the Run for the Roses. He recognized it as the one race that requires no introduction.
"If you go to the middle of Kansas, they're going to understand the Kentucky Derby and probably have it on," he said the other day.
WINNING JOCKEY:Victory is 'like a dream'
And when McGaughey next rises from his slumbers — probably before dawn at Churchill Downs — the world will have no alternative but to recognize him as the man who might have the makings of racing's next Triple Crown winner.
Orb entered the starting gate Saturday as the Derby's morning-line favorite, and he crossed the finish line beneath jockey Joel Rosario with his reputation enhanced by an emphatic 2½-length victory over Golden Soul. Given Orb's uncertain start, the 19-horse field and the track's sloppy conditions, the performance was much more impressive than the winning time of 2:02.89.
"I think there's more there," McGaughey said. "I don't think we've bottomed out. I think he's still learning how to run a little bit. ... I think we've got our hands on a pretty special horse."
That much seemed clear in the days preceding Saturday's Derby. There was so much buzz about Orb's pre-race workouts that the Florida Derby winner was able to overtake unbeaten Verrazano as the morning-line favorite. And the better Orb trained, the more openly McGaughey discussed his desire for a Derby breakthrough after six failed attempts.
"This whole trip has been just something that's been different for me," he said Saturday. "... And to come over here the last 12 days and experience what we've experienced, from the fans and from the people, to see this horse thrive the way that he's thrived and to get to this afternoon; to come over here today and hear the fans and then to see the horse run the race he rode, it's just something I can't really put into words.
"Maybe one day, when I settle down, I'll be able to put it into words. But right now I can't."
ROSIE NAPRAVNIK:Jockey inches towards history
McGaughey has not chased the Derby as aggressively as many of his peers have. Heeding the patient philosophy of his old-school owners, Stuart Janney and Ogden "Dinny" Phipps, he left it to his horses to tell him when it was time to be tested on the first Saturday in May. He did not force the issue.
In some ways, that made this victory all the sweeter. Rivals who might begrudge another's success because of the scale of their operation or the corners they might cut viewed McGaughey's triumph as justice served.
"I'm thrilled for Shug," said trainer Kenny McPeek, whose two entries ran 13th and 16th. "Shug deserves it. Everyone expected him to win it a long time ago."
Now that he has it, the Preakness is next. And someone else can start worrying.

By Elvin Lim
Democrats and the Obama administration have seriously if not fatally fumbled on the simple answer to a question Justice Scalia posed: "Could you define the market — everybody has to buy food sooner or later, so you define the market as food, therefore, everybody is in the market; therefore, you can make people buy broccoli?"
According to Senator John Kerry, "Like it or not, at some point in our lives, every single person will receive healthcare." That is a terrible answer.
Solicitor General Verrilli, the person the Obama administration entrusted to make the case for the individual mandate responded to Scalia, saying "if you go in and — and seek to obtain a product or service, you will get it even if you can't pay for it." But he didn't finish the thought and missed the heart of the distinction.
It is not that broccoli is different from healthcare because it is not about the nature of the product but the nature of their markets. It is not that everyone needs healthcare because again this is about the product and not the market. It is not even that people can get healthcare without having to pay for it. This begins to talk about the market, but it doesn't say what is it about such a market that may invoke the government's authority to regulate commerce.
What he ought to have said is that people can get healthcare without having to pay for it and the rest of us who do buy insurance must. Those of us who are paying for health insurance are forced to subsidize those who do not. This, if anything, is what would invite government regulation.
Recognizing that the health-care industry suffers from a free-riding problem helps us pinpoint two general solutions.
(1) We get rid of the law that creates the free-riding problem.
(2) We enact a law that closes the free-riding loophole — and that is the individual mandate of the Affordable Healthcare Act, or "Obamacare."
What is the law that creates the free-riding problem? It is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) of 1986 which requires that hospitals provide emergency care to anyone seeking it regardless of ability to pay. Now, why would millions of Americans buy health insurance voluntarily if we can get it for free? Actually, this is the law that small government conservatives ought to be challenging. This is what causes the problem; Obamacare is only the fix.
Yet for whatever reason, we have decided as a society that we will not engage in patient dumping. Maybe we should, maybe we shouldn't, but statutory law already accepts that there is something different about the healthcare product from broccoli. No point harping on that argument. But liberals and Obama are too fixated on this line of reasoning because they are too quick to use the victim-centered approach to selling their political programs. Oh, those poor 40 million Americans without health-care insurance, they say.
But they are shooting themselves in their empathetic feet this time. It is not those poor 40 million Americans. It is those free-riding 40 million Americans who could and have gotten healthcare for free, and made everyone else pay for it that necessitates regulation of an industry bloated and rendered inefficient by free-riding.
The free-riding problem reaches deep into our pockets — at least for those who have health insurance. Unregulated commerce can be coercive too, not just "individual mandates." Can we really expect someone who doesn't buy health insurance (and therefore who does not, allegedly, perform an action) never to seek free services in an emergency room when the law says s/he can? Maybe we won't need Obamacare if, as Madison intoned in Federalist 51, "men were angels." If we won't go in for a free service when we haven't paid for it.
But we are not angels. And that is why Publius proposed a federal government to, among other things, regulate inter-state commerce. The Solicitor General should have framed the debate in terms of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Does the Court want to strike that law down? If the answer is "no," then we have a free-riding loophole that only the government can close. Yes, the individual mandate is perhaps constitutionally novel, but so is the EMTALA. But no one is challenging the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act before the Court now, is there?

XFiles Friday: The Philosophical Dating GameAugust 24, 2007 — Deacon Duncan
Having casually dismissed all educated scholarship on the grounds of an anecdote about one university professor being a post-modernist, and having strangely and utterly ignored the scientific approach to making sense of the world around us, and having made a truly Olympic-caliber leap to the conclusion that religion is the only possible source we can turn to for a "box top" overview of the jigsaw puzzle of life, Geisler and Turek turn to the question of which religion has the "best" picture of how the puzzle pieces fit together.
The picture usually–and for good reason–begins with some sort of claim about God. What someone believes about God affects everything else that he or she believes… Indeed, the five most consequential questions in life are these:
- Origin: Where did we come from?
- Identity: Who are we?
- Meaning: Why are we here?
- Morality: How should we live?
- Destiny: Where are we going?
Notice, first of all, the two questions which do not appear on this list: What is Truth, and How can we distinguish Truth from Falsehood? You'd think if you were writing a book about God being real and if God really were real, that you'd want to start off by focusing on reality and the real-world evidence that God actually shows up outside the stories, superstitions, and subjective feelings of men. But that's not where Geisler and Turek turn for support.
Instead, they launch their apologetic by changing the subject to a series of philosophical questions about which people have a variety of subjective and fondly-held opinions. It might seem strange to begin one's defense of God by turning from reality to the realm of subjective philosophical preferences, but that's what Geisler and Turek do. I suppose they know best where the raw material for their argument lies.
Their approach is like the old TV game show, The Dating Game, where an eligible young single must choose between three unseen contenders by asking them a series of carefully-crafted questions and deciding whose answers he or she likes best. Geisler and Turek offer the reader the same proposition, except that in this case, they've taken the liberty of choosing the questions for us. It doesn't take an inspired prophet to perceive that they've chosen the five questions that they expect Christianity will do best at, or to predict that the answers they give will indulge the (Christian) reader in a pleasant, flattering view of believers. After all, as any con-man knows, people are far less critical about what you say if you're saying good things about them and their biases.
There are two points I want to highlight about these questions. First of all, they're aimed primarily at putting down unbelievers in the eyes of believers. Geisler and Turek want to use these questions, not so much to show that their religion is superior to all other religions, but to re-assure their Christian readers that there are at least some questions for which Christianity has good answers, and unbelief (allegedly) doesn't. The choice of questions would be rather different, I expect, if the authors were trying to show Christianity to be superior to Mormonism (which employs a very similar list in their own evangelistic presentations). So don't expect the authors to give more than a cursory discussion of how other religions address these five questions.
Secondly, these questions are designed to appeal very strongly to the (Christian) reader's sense of the way things ought to be, or in other words, whatever seems right in their own eyes. When Geisler and Turek ask, "Where did we come from?", they're not trying to draw our attention to ordinary reproduction, nor are they likely to want to teach us too much about biological processes of evolution. They're going to claim that we ought to believe Christianity because Christianity claims that the most important Being in the whole universe made it His personal goal to create us as the pinnacle of His creation, and thus the most important creatures in existence. And isn't that flattering? Of course the Christian reader is going to like that answer better.
So we open our first serious apologetic salvo by turning away from the real world and posing a contrived set of 5 questions designed to appeal to the reader's subjective sense of self-importance and to the way that "seems right in his (or her) own eyes." A psychologically astute and historically effective approach, but not one that necessarily commends itself to ideals like intellectual integrity.

Darren Fletcher has become a major force in the Manchester United midfield over the past couple of years. He'll lead the Red Devils as they embark on a two-week tour of North America, which concludes at the 2010 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 28 in Houston. MLSsoccer.com's editor-in-chief Greg Lalas had a chat with Fletcher, and the pair discussed American soccer, the Scottish national team, and the legendary club itself, Manchester United.
MLSsoccer.com: How is MLS and American soccer perceived in Europe?
"It's a good perception. The buzz created by David Beckham more attention to [American soccer], but seeing the amount of fans that watched the World Cup this year shows that football is getting a massive following. I've seen the crowds that some teams get in MLS, and they're getting big crowds. It's definitely a nation that's progressing.
MLSsoccer.com: You played against the Galaxy's Landon Donovan while he was on loan at Everton earlier this year. What were your thoughts on Donovan as a player?
"Everyone was really impressed with Donovan. He was one of their best players. He was a real threat; a lot of pace and intelligent runs, he scored some fantastic goals. Lots of energy and a real quick, exciting player."
MLSsoccer.com: How do you believe MLS factored into his preparation for the English Premier League?
"The EPL is known as one of the fastest leagues in the world but that didn't seem to bother [Donovan]. He is the best player in MLS—well respected and highly regarded, so I think that the transition to the English game was very easy.
MLSsoccer.com: What did you think of the United States' run in the recent World Cup?
"The manager had them very well organized. To get out of the group stages should be seen as an achievement. They played with a lot of hunger and aggression, and they played some good football. Everyone knows it's not an easy game when they play against the U.S., but they're proving all the time that they're getting better."
MLSsoccer.com: As captain of the Scottish national team, how do you feel about Scotland's chances in the upcoming Euro 2012 campaign?
"It's gotten difficult to qualify in Europe. We've got a new manager and hopefully that will bring us some fortune. The Scottish League is trying to rely on a lot of youth, and we're seeing the goods of that coming through now. We've been close the last couple of campaigns. I think the rest of the world will want to see the great fans that we've got because it'd definitely be a good addition."
MLSsoccer.com: It has been seven years since Manchester United were last in the United States. What are some of the memories you have of the last tour?
"Going to America is great. Every time we play, the stadiums [are] packed. The facilities are excellent. This time we're actually going to play a couple of [MLS] teams, so that's going to be a good experience.
MLSsoccer.com: What are your goals for the upcoming North American tour?
"You want to win every game, but the most important thing on this tour is getting our fitness. It's about managing yourself physically, watching your minutes and not going for any silly challenges, as you don't want to pick up any injuries in the preseason."
MLSsoccer.com: Manchester United recently announced the signing of Mexican sensation Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. What do you think he brings to the team?
"He looked very exciting in the World Cup. He scored two fantastic goals. He looked very sharp, quick, a real eye for a goal. He looks like a natural born goal scorer, which every team needs. I'm sure he'll be a great signing for Manchester United."
MLSsoccer.com: Manchester United are one of the most storied clubs in the world. Can you explain what it means to play for the Red Devils?
"You look at it as a step down if you leave. If you're lucky enough to stay, you'll have played at the top for your whole career and it doesn't get much bigger than Manchester United. Players who left say, 'Think twice before you leave, because there is nowhere like Manchester United.' Everything about the club makes it the place you want to be. No one really thinks about leaving when you're here."
MLSsoccer.com: Who do you believe are the greatest players to don the Manchester United jersey?
"Being Scottish, Dennis Law appeals to me. Obviously Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best, but Ryan Giggs is closing up on them with what he's achieved. Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, they're almost like urban legends. Fantastic role models for us younger players to have."
MLSsoccer.com: Who is the greatest player you have played alongside?
"Paul Scholes. To have played at the top for 10-15 years, that's a benchmark for me, trying to reach his level. For what he's achieved, [he] never really got the credit he deserved.
MLSsoccer.com: Would you consider playing in MLS?
"You can never rule anything out. Everything about MLS and America - it's a great country - appeals to players. You see how MLS has progressed; the league keeps getting bigger. It's a massively growing sport. There are great teams that would be big attractions to players. I wouldn't be surprised to see more players head out there."
MLSsoccer.com: Manchester United take on MLS expansion team Philadelphia Union on July 21. What are your thoughts on playing such a young team?
"It's an exciting opportunity for them. It's going to be great for the city. It's great that they are playing one of their first few games against Manchester United. It will bring great attention to them and help set them up for the MLS season."

If it's technical in nature, great, but if all you have to say is 'I agree' with no real contribution, leave it alone. The whole reason for that part of the original post was the fact that one night almost half the threads on the main page were replies to old threads by newbies who for the most part were seeking to increase their post numbers.

Jbel (Mount) Kissane Landscape, Agdz Oasis Palmery, Morocco
Landscape of the distinctive windswept synclinal rock formations of Jbel (Mount) Kissane mountain, Draa Valley, Southern Morocco, 2015-06-13.
The mountain range dominates the eastern landscape of the sleepy oasis palmery town of Agdz with it's charateristic rock formations and several peaks (the highest reaching 1485metres).
A variety of hues and tones can be seen in the rock at different times of the day and year, ranging from salmon pink to sun lit orange.
Agdz is a small town located inbetween Ouarzazate and Zagora which offers a great glimpse into Southern Moroccan oasis palmery life, making a pefect overnight stop or lunch break off while traveling towards the southern Erg Chigaga region of the Sahara desert.
It played an important role in the trade between Marrakesh and Timbuktu via the old caravan route across the Sahara desert.

Wyoming Veteran's Commission Has New Chairman
Al Ellefson, of Hulett, was recently selected to serve as the chairman of the Wyoming Veterans Commission.
Wyoming statute specifies the commission must select a new chairman every two years. Ellefson is a 26-year U.S. Air Force retiree and served 15 years with Wyoming's Department of Workforce Services. He is also a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and previously served as their Department of Wyoming commander. He re-appointed Commissioner Lee Alley, of Wheatland, as the vice chairman and Commissioner Ron Akin, of Casper, as the secretary/parliamentarian.
The Wyoming Veterans Commission works with the governor and Wyoming Legislature to study state and federal legislation and make recommendations. Service officers from the commission help Wyoming veterans and their families seek health care, learn about benefits, and assist with filing VA disability claims. The commission also has oversight of the Oregon
Trail State Veterans Cemetery, in Evansville, and the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Museum, in Casper.

Task List: Handy student app for tracking assignments
Merlin Mann | Jan 2 2007
Task List is a promising looking new app for students who want to track the tasks associated with homework and other assignments.
As a former dysfunctional student, I like the way you can filter work by class, gauge progress on assigments, set priorities, and then track the results, such as the grade you received, etc. It also has support for "Classcasts," syncs with .Mac, and seems to work nicely with iCal.
As with many tricked-out task apps, there's plenty of room for bogging down in the sort of fiddly meta-work that's more fun than, say, actually reading Bleak House, but this app is far from the worst attractive nuisance I've seen in that regard. Based on my 20 minutes of running through it yesterday, it looks like a useful application for managing the rat's nest of tasks standing between you and your sheepskin.
What are you organized Mac students out there using to keep it all together?
I'm not using anything right...

Eventually, I will do an actual photo tour of my apartment. You can catch a glimpse of the bare bones here and here, but it's come a long way since then and is starting to feel like an actual home. It takes me a long while to get settled in, partially because I'm horribly unorganized, but also because I'm picky about my stuff. I don't have expensive taste; it's actually quite the opposite. I adore found items, hand-me-downs, and everything ancient. Almost everything in my apartment is old, down to the brick walls that house them. My furniture and decor are all from my mom's consignment shop, flea markets, Brimfield, thrift shops, the side of the road. Barely any of the furniture was bought new, save for my bed frames and sofa – which will eventually be replaced by something ancient and full of history.
I'll save the rest of my stories for when I have actual photos with which to display them, and keep to the two pieces you see here. The large trunk beneath was Bobby's grandfather's, and the one on top was given to us when we lived at our first Brooklyn apartment. We lived in an area surrounded by warehouses, and one of them housed vintage stuff for a flea market seller. When he closed up shop, he gave us a 50s kitchen table, antique chairs, this trunk, and several vintage odds and ends that we still have today. At the time, I was broke, broke, broke, so it was like a dream come true. Actually, it would be a dream come true even if I was the richest gal in the world. Give me millions of dollars and I will still take the old over the new. I got that from my mama.

The gunman used a semi-automatic rifle to shoot his way past a security checkpoint ... killing a TSA officer and wounding at least two others. Police shot and wounded the gunman ... who's in custody.

You don't get to frame your divorce like a hipster album cover without suffering backlash.
"Conscious uncoupling" pretentious but signals real trend
The "conscious uncoupling" mocked round the world has inspired plenty of questions in recent days, such as what that term actually means and whether Gwyneth Paltrow has been ingesting too many chia seeds.
The right one, however, may be to ask about the extent to which the actress's separation announcement – which more closely resembles a brunch invitation – signals a broader evolution in the way people are entering into, and ultimately exiting from, marriage. In Canada, for example, social trends have shifted so profoundly that The Vanier Institute of the Family is considering re-naming its ongoing research series on the subject.
"You can't call it 'Causes and Consequences of Divorce' anymore; you have to talk about it as coupling and uncoupling and re-coupling and de-coupling. It's something we've been thinking about for a while," said Nora Spinks, CEO of the Ottawa-based think tank.
Between 2006 and 2011, the number of common-law couples rose 14 per cent, more than four times the increase for married couples. Nearly one in five divorces finalized in 2008 were for marriages five years or fewer in duration. And given current patterns, 41 per cent of married couples won't make it to their 30th wedding anniversary – up from 36 per cent in 1998.
"The idea of having one partner for life goes back to when our lives were much shorter," said Spinks, noting that it's increasingly common to see people choose different partners for different stages of adulthood.
"Today, we have more individual autonomy to make decisions about health and happiness and wellbeing, and we don't tie ourselves to the same concept of failure: 'The marriage failed,' 'I failed.' Maybe you just grew."
Importantly, Spinks said Canadians continue to enshrine the idea of a lifelong soulmate. In practice, however, it's not always easy to achieve, as the plummeting marriage rate has demonstrated over the past three decades.
Ben Zimmer, a noted lexicographer, said this disconnect is reflected in ongoing changes to the language around relationship dissolution.
"It makes sense to try to find a new set of terms and vocabulary to get away from the fraught taboos of separation and divorce," said Zimmer, executive producer of Vocabulary.com. "There's a lot of therapeutic talk around this issue, encouraging people to think about these things not as single events but as an ongoing process."
In fact, Zimmer found a reference to "uncoupling" as a synonym for divorce as early as 1942. So why is Paltrow, whose sepia-washed split announcement used the contentious term, getting so much flak?
Pop culture commentator Shauna Wright said the fuss has more to do with the actress than her soft-focus lens on separation. But the latter didn't help.
"Why can't she just, for one minute, be human? Honestly, I don't think she knows how," said Wright, co-founder of celebrity news site Blabberazzi. "Talk like a normal person and people will treat you with the compassion and empathy that normal people tend to get; if you want to stay up in the ivory tower, then use terms that people who don't pay $300 to talk to a psychologist don't get to use."
Kristen Mark, a long-term relationships researcher, considers Paltrow and husband Chris Martin's implied enlightenment to be PR posturing. Nevertheless, she said there's merit to the idea that leaving a marriage doesn't have to be ugly.
"They're saying it's more than an amicable break-up; it's a joint life decision," said Mark, assistant professor at the University of Kentucky. "I like that they're trying to make it less of a negative thing, because divorce doesn't have to be negative."
Twitter consciously uncouples from Chris and Gwyneth

Excellent Source for Asian Art SuppliesI have been buying Chinese Painting and Sumi-E supplies from Blue Heron Arts for several years. Blue Heron Arts provides a great selection of brushes, paper, colors, and books. The service is always prompt and excellent. The most important thing Blue Heron Arts has to offer is its owner, Henry Li. Mr. Li possesses an incredible wealth of knowledge on all aspects of Chinese art, and he is extremely generous in sharing this with his customers and students. Whether it is demonstrations of different techniques or videos of visits to brush, ink and paper producers in China, Mr. Li makes a tremendous amount of information available that I have not found anywhere else.Kevin Donohue, New York
Dear Blue Heron Arts,
I've just received my order today and I must say, I'm very happy and pleased with everything! It all came in a wonderful tube (and rather quickly to say I'm far away in England) and just wanted to say thank you ever so much for your service.
I'll definitely be ordering again. Cheers!
Kind Regards,
(Miss) Levi Richards.
I much enjoy watching your art demonstration videos on YouTube.
I maintain a Chinese language instruction blog site at
Lydia Lin
Your feedback has been extremely punctual and invaluable regarding the specific materials that I have purchased for my art. Alongside your tutorial videos and personal study I have crafted my art, and am building a greatly anticipated company and collection for launch. Thank you again, your company and instruction are be highly recommended!Jason, Sumi-e Silhouettes, Miami Beach, FLwww.sumiesilhouettes.com
"The brushes arrived in 2 days! Wow such great service and I really like them a lot. It would be my pleasure and if you have a listing for teachers of Chinese painting or Sumi-e in the U.S. please add me to the list. Thanks again, Best regards, Bettie Sarantos, RI, USA http//:www.croquetartist.com
Sue Daw who bought our mulberry paper #1 for batik watercolur painting and has the following feedbacks:
"Many thanks for my order of rice paper. It is wonderful and I will be seeking more orders from you.The order did not take long to arrive here in Australia. I have just completed two watercolour Batiks on the rice paper and very happy with the results. I painting on watercolour,use hot wax to save light tones and slowly build up the painting this was until I have covered all the paper with Wax,Then I crinkleup the sheet scrunch in my hand ,to make wax crackle then apply ink over to get batik look in cracks,Using lots of newspaper iron all wax of the it is ready to mould on canvas or on paper. Ready to frame. "
Sue Daw from Australia
"Thank you! And yes, that would be great to link to my blog with my endorsement of your brushes."
Martha Lever, artist and teacher, USA
"Hi Henry, thanks for your message. I ordered some of your products - brushes, ink, papers. They reached me in France very quickly and there were no problems.I follow your very good demonstrations on you tube and they help me to find my way, thanks."Ulrich from France

"Professor Henry Li, a talented Chinese painter/calligrapher and owner of Blue Heron Arts, was kind enough to offer me a brief insight and history on Chinese seal carving and ancient Chinese seal script styles dating as far back as 2,000 years old. An archaeologist, historian and former art instructor at the University of Washington, Henry Li's extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in Chinese art and history was awe-inspiring. His studio boasts original works of art, a library of historical reference books, and an empire of art supplies/tools that will make any art store look like a small, backyard toolshed! At first encounter, he is a very charismatic and laidback fellow-very friendly and altruistic. But peel away the modest persona and you will discover a formidable master artisan, innovator and a successful entrepreneur."

"The brush pen is really like an actual brush. It feels very much like a natural I mean. It makes amazing accidental flowing lines, and no more worries of being dried out or too much inks flowing because of the piston. And the hair tip feels like made with almost full of natural hair that keeps the original shape and sharp point of the tip by smoothness And also, it doesn't need any expensive special ink :). Just like an actual brush that I can draw outside too.
So, basically my complaints are all about the design of the body. The tip, which is the most important part for brush is just perfect!!!This brush pen is very creative, and useful that I would love to recommend to other drawers. You know what? Actually one of my professior who teaches perspective class actually asked me what pen I was using. "
Junghoon LeePasaneda Art Center, California
"My happyness is finding the beautiful rice paper you offered for sale. In this financial year, it is too expensive for me to have my artwork commercially reproduced. Using rice papers for making arists proofs of my own woodcuts is the only way I can survive in art market."
Kathryn Luzzi
"The videos are worth watching to learn how to apply paint. Mulberry paper is very good for achieving soft moonlight effects on water just by quickly sweeping the brush across the paper and allowing it 'bleed' for shadow and reflection. It's also vey forgiving! and allows for correction."
many thanks,Colin
Livermore, California
"Hello, I purchased some of your wonderful rice/mulberry paper about a month ago. I teach mixed media classes online, and I am currently creating a class now where I will be using your paper! I want to refer my students to purchase from you because your quality is great, and your feedback is great, not to mention your customer service. I would like to provide a link to my students on my website to you under my supplies list for the class. I will be happy to include a link to your website or ebay store."
Thank you,
Cristina Galliherhttp://www.rosesonmytable.com/
"Thank you for all these supplies. My students will be thrilled! I will get all my supplies from you from now on.I thought you might like to see my artwork. My website is: www.marilynmackrisart.comAnd I did all of these without glue water! How much better I will do by using it!"
-Marilyn Mackris, Art teacher, Missouri
"Just received the mounting paper and the three brushes. Am very excited to use all of them, especially the mounting paper....No more cooking paste. And I like the idea that you don't have to work with such speed as with traditional wet-mounting.
The (fountain) brushes are beautiful - so much better than those squeeze-type water brushes with synthetic hairs. These brushes are good enough to use as 'regular brushes', not just outside sketching."
Lisa Chakrabarti,Fine Artist

"I just received my order (that only took a week to get here to Canada!) and I wanted to ask you a question. I bought the ink from you in the order. I have a dvd by Cheng Khee Chee on marbelizing on rice paper. In it, he explains to only use one brand of ink. (I forget the name but it's in a green bottle.) Will the ink I bought from you work the same? (You put drops on the surface of water, swirl it a bit, then lay the rice paper face down on it and lift it quick for that marbelizing look.)
[answer: Yes, our ink will work the same for marbeling.]
I really love all the rice paper I bought from you and will definitely be back for more. I've done paintings on rice paper before but couldn't find any of the 'right' paper until I found you on ebay! I'm also going to put a link to you on my website and blog so others can 'find' you, too."
Deb, Sumi Artist, Canada

SKF Drive-up Method
Accurate and controlled bearing mounting
A fit that avoids bearing damageThis method considerably improves the reliability and ease of fitting bearings with a tapered bore. Correct fit is achieved by controlling the axial drive-up of the bearing from a predetermined position. The SKF Drive-up Method also helps avoid bearing damage caused by driving-up the bearing too far onto its seating.
- Up to 50% faster than conventional mounting methods
- Easy way to mount spherical roller bearings

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden did an excellent impression of Chicken Little with his January 29, 2010 opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal titled, The President's Nuclear Vision. The subtitle would seem to be a prelude to the soon-to-be-released Nuclear Posture Review - "We will spend what is necessary to maintain the safety, security and effectiveness of our weapons" (read "BLANK CHECK with which to maintain our nuclear deterrent").
In one breath the Vice President refers to how "President Obama laid out a comprehensive agenda to reverse the spread [of nuclear weapons], and to pursue the peace and security of a world without them." In the next he states in no uncertain terms that, "For as long as nuclear weapons are required to defend our country and our allies, we will maintain a safe, secure and effective nuclear arsenal."
If you are confused after these two seemingly contradictory statements, the next one should clear things up:
The president's Prague vision is central to this administration's efforts to protect the American people—and that is why we are increasing investments in our nuclear arsenal and infrastructure in this year's budget and beyond.If you don't think it can get any worse - IT DOES! Biden goes on to paint a gloomy picture of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, infrastructure, and weapons labs. Here are some of the key phrases:
...slow but steady decline in support for our nuclear stockpile and infrastructure, and for our highly trained nuclear work force... growing shortage of skilled nuclear scientists and engineers and the aging of critical facilities... our nuclear complex requires urgent attention...The Websites for Los Alamos, Sandia and Lawrence Livermore Paint a different picture of the state of the nuclear workforce and its work on the nuclear stockpile and other areas. As for infrastructure, plans to upgrade "critical" facilities have been in the works (and funded) for some time (Y-12 National Security Complex for example). Biden's concerns about "facilities that date back to World War II" ring hollow when one reads that Los Alamos has been demolishing old buildings and doing site cleanup thanks to generous funding from President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Yes, there have been cuts in recent years to the workforce at the weapons labs, but those cuts were in keeping with changes in U.S. nuclear weapons strategy; as the size of the nuclear arsenal has been reduced, so has the size of the complex that made and now maintains the arsenal. We simply do not need the massive complex that once supported 32,193 warheads and bombs (at its peak in 1966). That being said, the cuts have been small in relation to the overall size of the weapons labs, and their weapons budgets have actually remained steady over the past five years.
As for "confidence in our nuclear arsenal" - the government's own (and highly respected) JASON panel has studied the nuclear warhead Life Extension Programs and found them to be working quite effectively, and has also estimated credible lifetimes for Plutonium (and other) pits already in service to be between 85 and 100 years.
Our nuclear weapons labs are not, as V.P. Biden states, "a national treasure." It is time to blow away the smoke and smash the mirrors; the nation's nuclear weapons complex is not about to crumble to dust, nor is it running on empty. And we certainly do not need to pour more money into it at a time when we are approaching the most important Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in history (May 2010). It is time to send every signal that the U.S. is prepared to move towards disarmament (of course not unilaterally), and calling for "increasing investments in our nuclear arsenal and infrastructure" is not the way to do so.
Rather than demonstrating the President's broad vision articulated in Prague, Biden's WSJ opinion piece indicates a nuclear tunnel vision, a vision that if implemented, will neither "serve our security", nor help us move toward a nuclear weapons free future. We can and must spend our money more wisely.
Watch for an opportunity to sign a petition on this subject in the coming week.
Read Vice President Biden's January 29, 2010 opinion piece at The Wall Street Journal.
