Good Ideas That Aren't Worth Doing
With the candidates lining up to support raising the payroll cap on Social Security -- a deeply progressive tax hike that warms my heart -- Paul Starr asks if this is something they've really thought through:
Let's think carefully about this. Do Social Security's problems need to be addressed now by a tax increase? How many tax increases can the next president expect to get through Congress? And what would be the impact of taxing all earnings on the long-term political viability of Social Security?[...]
Given the political resistance to any proposals for increasing taxes, a new president will have to consider carefully whether the first priority for new revenue in 2009 ought to be solving the speculative budgetary problems of the 2040s. A new administration might want, for example, to do something about the 47 million Americans who now don't have any health insurance. Or it might want to make productive investments in education, research, and infrastructure that could help keep the economy growing at more than 1.8 percent a year.
And consider this: Eliminating the cap on taxable earnings in Social Security will change the relationship to the program of people in the income brackets over $97,500, most of whom are not to be confused with plutocrats. Social Security remains a good deal for most of them because it provides income in old age that, unlike private pensions, is indexed for inflation. Even for affluent seniors, this is a form of inflation-risk protection that serves a valuable role in a portfolio of retirement income.
But take off the cap on taxable earnings, and many upper-middle-income people will decide the program is no longer in their interest. If you want to revive the movement toward privatization, eliminating the cap on taxable earnings would be just about the best thing you could do.
That may be true. Or raising the cap could do just about nothing to political support for the program. I'm really not sure. But Paul's certainly right that it requires a pretty bizarre prioritization scheme to make a basically solvent pension program the first of your fights. Indeed, we've seen how starting an administration with fiscally responsible, tough medicine policies, goes. Bill Clinton came in and fought to pass NAFTA and the Deficit Reduction Act, both of which required painful compromises, spending cuts, economic losers. By the time he turned his attention to health care -- which he thought of as the policy of the three which would give back to some of the perceived losers from the first two -- there was no congressional energy for yet another hard sell.

Why not do what Dean Baker suggests and push for truly free trade, where professionals are subject to the same competition as the working classes? That way, more income will be under the cap, but prices will also be lower.

Excellent point.
Relating it to the discussion yesterday on your opinion of HRC being the "best" of the big three on health care-- do we know anything about where health care reform sits within HRC's prioritization scheme? Obama's? Edward's? Is health care going to be the main issue besides Iraq?
I've read all the quotes/statement, but it's not clear to me.

Wow. Paul Starr is even more hacktackular than usual in his dishonest Clinton apologia here.
Neither Edwards nor Obama said they were going to lift the cap, let alone that it was going to be their top priority.
Senator Clinton didn't even take the Starr position - like Edwards and Obama she didn't reject Russert's premise. The only difference was that Edwards and Obama said their first response to a SS shortfall would be to make the tax code more progressive, while Clinton said she'd be willing to sell out lower income workers and retirees.
I'm sure Paul Starr and Hillary Clinton are fine with a country where Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. The question is whether or not the Democratic primary electorate is fine with that.
And you ought to quit the Prospect, Ezra. You work for a rag that shills for everything the diseased parts of the Democratic Party. Write a book.

"Given the political resistance to any proposals for increasing taxes, a new president will have to consider carefully whether the first priority for new revenue in 2009 ought to be solving the speculative budgetary problems of the 2040s."
Right. This is a topic for the second part of the presidency starting 2006. And only to get social security solvent until 2080, so republicans won't be able to make this an urgent issue before, say, 2050.
Posted by: Gray | Nov 6, 2007 9:12:21 AM
This suggests that in addition to the policies set forth, its important to consider which policies a prospective newly elected President would put forth first. If its Health Insurance and Climate Protection / Energy Independence, then raising the cap or a SS levy on incomes over $200,000 (the two proposals that seem to be out there), that's better than the other way around (whichever other way around that is).

Obama made a horrible ad making social security s topic again (the damn idiot). And it was reproted he is for lifting the cap.

Raising the payroll cap just gives the repubs a bigger surplus that they can steal.
Repeat after me: there is no Social Security crisis. The program is working just as forecast by the 1983 reforms. Keep your hands off Social Security.
Posted by: Bloix | Nov 6, 2007 9:16:27 AM
there was no congressional energy for yet another hard sell.
As Brad DeLong just recently and very convincingly reported, it was the strategical stupidity of Clinton's aide in charge of the program who unnecessarily made the heathcare bill such a hard sell. And afaik the healthcare bill couldn't move on earlier because Clinton first had to bargain for the GOP votes by making compromises on the other two bills mentioned...

"Raising the payroll cap just gives the repubs a bigger surplus that they can steal."
Hey, they won't have much time left for stealing. And if the tresury bonds are sold to panically investors fearing the impact of the mortgage bubble, or to social security, doesn't make that much of a difference. One way or the other, the US has to stand to its obligations.
Posted by: Gray | Nov 6, 2007 9:24:26 AM
Bloix, I know that Josh Marshall just recently made the point you raised here,but even he can be wrong sometimes. That's not the right reason why Dems should stay away from SS reforms now. It's just that there are much more urgent priorities.
Posted by: Gray | Nov 6, 2007 9:27:01 AM
"And it was reproted he is for lifting the cap."
Whatever was reproted, I watched and listened to what the candidates actually said at the debate. You and Paul Starr seem not to have.
Posted by: Petey | Nov 6, 2007 9:30:04 AM
Just as Clinton invited trouble on day one by giving priority to the 'gays in the military' rule (not that there was anything wrong with addressing this issues later in the term), I expect the next Democratic president to do something stupid like that.

"I watched and listened to what the candidates actually said at the debate. You and Paul Starr seem not to have."
Dunno about Paul, but I didn't. Would have been a bit difficult for me here in Germany anyhow. However, since you say the debate, you're suddenly the new Obama expert and you are positive he never held a position that he didn't mention in thaqt discussipon? Come on, that's ridiculpous, right? Especially when viewed in perspective with these statements Obama made in an ABC´interview:
When Obama appeared on ABC's "This Week" last May, he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, "Everything should be on the table" as options for assuring the program's long-term solvency.
"Raising the retirement age?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Everything should be on the table," Obama replied.
"Raising payroll taxes?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Everything should be on the table," Obama said. "I think we should approach it the same way Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan did back in 1983. They came together. I don't want to lay out my preferences beforehand, but what I know is that Social Security is solvable. It is not as difficult a problem as we're going to have with Medicaid or Medicare."

Petey take it up with the Des Moines Register.
Clinton sidesteps Social Security issue, Obama says in D.M.
Barack Obama in Des Moines on Saturday accused Hillary Clinton of blatantly avoiding the nation's looming Social Security crisis, telling a crowd that the answer is increasing taxes on the nation's wealthiest.
Projections provided by Obama's campaign staff say that uncapping the payroll tax would solve projected shortfalls for at least 75 years.Unless the reporter is hallucinating perhaps you need to watch and listen a little more widely.

How else do you kill a zombie meme?
I know there's no SS 'crisis', and you know there's no SS crisis, but what about the other 300 million people out there?
Until that meme is killed, SS 'reform' (in truth the Financial Services Industry Full Employment And Guaranteed Profitability Act of Fill In The Year) will get its annual airing -- and in a fit of absent-mindedness, might actually pass.
The GOP hasn't been the party of fiscal probity since when, Nixon I? And there was an actual budget surplus under Clinton. Yet all I hear is 'tax and spend Democrats'.

"The program is working just as forecast by the 1983 reforms."
I have to admit, that's a good point, but it should be made much stronger to make the republicans shut tf up:
'The program is working just as Ronald Reagan envisioned it to do with his 1983 reforms.'
Before the right wingers make their points about privatisation, they should firstly explain to the public why they want to turn inside out a still very solvent program that Ronald Reagan successfully reformed about 25 years ago. Was Reagan totally wrong???

Good point, Davis, but that a Dem candidate actually does the fear mongering for the GOP instead of debunking the myths is really mind boggling!!!

The Social Security payroll tax is not regressive and only by jerking the program out of context, and by the way playing into the hands of privatizers, can you say it is.
It can't be said enough. Social Security is not Welfare. It is not some sort of largess from the wealthy to improvident workers, it is worker funded insurance for the sole benefit of workers. Starr is right on the button here. An honest examination of the economic projections show that Social Security is likely funded for decades after the currently accepted 2041 figure, and trend growth funds it forever.
Low Cost is out there. We know exactly what it would take to fully fund Social Security under Intermediate Cost projections: 1.95% of payroll. Do the math, that isn't lot of money. We also know that any amount of longterm productivity growth above 1.7% or Real GDP above 2.0% reduces that payroll gap leading to a continuation of the trend seen in this table EPI: Changes in Trustees Projections over Time The numbers show that left untouched Social Security is slowly closing the theoretical gap, a gap that itself has only been sustained by some systematic lowballing of growth not only in the outyears but near term. The standard Intermediate Cost projection, from which all commentary and dates are drawn relies on the economy slowing down sharply over the next five years (to 66% of 2006 rates) and going down from there.
On the other hand longterm Real GDP growth at 2.8%, itself well below 2006 results fully funds Social Security with no changes in benefits, retirement age, tax rate or cap adjustment. You don't have to believe me, Dean Baker was on to this con game all the way back in the 1990's, and Sawicky insists he was on to it earlier, and Krugman by now thoroughly on board. Social Security is not broke, at all. The situation is actually much improved since Dean (with Mark Weisbrot) put it like this in 1999' Social Security: the Phony Crisis
We have a chance, said President Clinton, to "fix the roof while the sun is still shining." He was talking about dealing with Social Security immediately, while the economy is growing and the federal budget is balanced. The audience was a regional conference on Social Security, in Kansas City, Missouri, that the White House had helped bring together.
The roof analogy is illuminating, but we can make it more accurate. Imagine that it's not going to rain for more than 30 years. And the rain, when it does arrive (and it might not), will be pretty light. And imagine that the average household will have a lot more income for roof repair by the time the rain approaches.
Now add this: most of the people who say they want to fix the roof actually want to knock holes in it.
This is the situation facing Social Security, and it is well known to those who have looked at the numbers. The program will take in enough revenue to keep all of its promises for over 30 years, without any changes at all. Thirty years is a long time—it's hard to think of any other program that can claim to be secure for that long. Furthermore, the forecast of a shortfall in 2034 is based on the economy limping along at less than a 1.7 percent annual rate of growth—about half the rate of the previous three decades. If the economy were to grow at 1998's rate, for example, the system would never run short of money.
Well guess what? The economy grew enough between 1998 and 2004 that even with sub-par growth going forward the system is not in any trouble at all.
With Ezra I am all for getting some progressivity back. Address it by taxing capital gains as regular income, go after top rates, whatever. Just leave the cap alone. Workers don't need an infusion of income from capital on this one, we certainly don't need the political interference that would come with a cap increase. Social Security Insurance is fine, if you want to advance the progressive agenda get some health insurance for our kids for God's sake.
Raising the Cap is a Bad Idea that is not Worth Doing.

It can be done in a way that will produce a tax rate cut. Extend the SS Tax to all income. Raise the age and index to life expectancy. Over time move toward a point where everyone on SS gets the same amount of money. This changes will allow you to cut the tax significantly.
Posted by: Floccina | Nov 6, 2007 10:17:27 AM
Gray, the 1983 reform has gone straight down the memory hole.
Every problem now raised as a reason to gut social security was foreseen by the actuaries and factored into the new withholding structure - 2 retirees for one worker, longer life expectancies, early retirements, and most importantly the retirements of the baby boomers. And the solution to the problem - accumulation of a surplus during the years of high baby boomer employment in order to have enough to pay out during the years of high baby boomer retirement - is now being presented as a catastrophe - "in 2017 Social Security" will start paying out more than it's taking in!"
Every Dem should always start out every conversation about social security with the words "the bipartisan reform of 1983, signed by Ronald Reagan, fixed that problem."
And if a Dem wants to explain how the system works, s/he should use the biblical example of Joseph's dream of the famine in Egypt. Joseph foresaw a famine seven years in the future, and so Pharoah built storehouses of grain to provide for the lean years. That is just what Social Security has done.
Posted by: Bloix | Nov 6, 2007 10:24:50 AM
How about eliminating the cap and then reduce the rate. Reducing the payroll tax on low income workers would have positive effect on the economy and make it less regressive.
Posted by: phastphil | Nov 6, 2007 10:37:21 AM
There is, on the other hand, a new problem ... due to growing income inequality, the social security tax no longer covers the proportion of wage and salary income that was presumed in 1983.
A progressive social security tax reform could place a payroll levy on payroll incomes over $200,000, set at the FICA rate, and then if the system is overfunded, rebate the social security contribution to suit.
Posted by: BruceMcF | Nov 6, 2007 10:42:17 AM
Wow is it shocking to see some many people deny the obvious. At what point would SS be in crisis?
Trustees Reports issued over the last several years have indicated that Social Security's Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Funds would become insolvent sometime in the next 30 to 40 years under the intermediate set of economic and demographic assumptions provided in each report. Various proposals have addressed this long-range solvency problem. These proposals are generally intended to restore, or largely restore, solvency for the long-range period (the next 75 years).
Things could change, a plague wiping out a few million old people or a world war could bring the numbers back in line but absent that in 40 years it is insolvant. How long do you propose waiting to fix the math so it is a viable trust? This is exactly why we can't let you get your hands on healthcare.

When the holidays are the most eagerly awaited time for everyone to enjoy. Especially if you go on holiday abroad, where usually this holiday has been planned from long ago. Various preparations ranging from destination countries, choosing hotels to stay, tourist destinations in the country, plane tickets to the cool outfit that will be used during the holidays later would have been thought of from the beginning. Do not let things become a nuisance and ruin your expectations of the holiday. One of them when you even get a hotel that does not match what you imagine. This often happens to many travelers, where hotels do not seem to match expectations. To avoid this, you should visit Reservations.com.
Here are some tips you should consider when choosing a hotel during a vacation abroad.
- Ensure the Stay Time
The first tip is that you must first determine when you will be on vacation and on the day that you need a hotel to stay in. This time detail makes it easy for you to find which hotel you should book. Of course, you should know first when check-in and check-out time, to see which hotels are still available at that …

Custom Solenoids Overview
A solenoid consists of a copper coil, a housing, a pole piece, and an armature. The coil is used to generate a controlled field to move the armature. When powered the magnetic field is concentrated into a nearly uniform field. In order to overcome the air gap between pole piece and armature, the armature moves from stroke start position to stroke end position.
At Kendrion, we assist our partners in creating a product that will fit directly into their system, whether that be a coil or a solenoid actuator. The custom coils and solenoids we have designed and manufactured for others may also help future partners as well. Common applications for a solenoid are in the energy market and for sorting applications. In the energy market, solenoids can be found in high voltage power switching applications where high forces and large strokes are essential. Sorting applications include letter and package diverting and sorting found in distribution centers where the main focus is on speed, lifetime and quiet operation. Another example is the Paintball Marker solenoid. We created a better and faster system solution for the paint ball gun and it ended up being cheaper. The best part: the customer grew almost 10X overnight.
That's the Kendrion way: helping our customers reach solutions that help solve their problem and create future growth opportunities. Our team of experts are on stand-by to help you find the right answers. Check out the examples to see what we have done to help our customers succeed.

Tejon Ranch Company joined with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Audubon California to further protect the California Condor by announcing it would discontinue the use of lead hunting ammunition on Tejon Ranch, the 270,000-acre privately-owned ranch in California's Tehachapi Mountains that is home to the state's largest private hunting program.
While tremendous progress has been made in bringing the California Condor back from the brink of extinction, poisoning from lead ammunition is regarded as the single greatest threat to the continued recovery of the species. Lead ammunition poses a threat to the condors when the birds eat carrion containing the bullet fragments. This move by Tejon Ranch is the latest effort by the Ranch to help protect the condor, which has historically used portions of Tejon Ranch for foraging and roosting.
Effective with the 2008 hunting season, only non-lead ammunition will be allowed on Tejon Ranch, making it the first major private wildlife management program in the state to voluntarily require the use of non-lead ammunition. It covers all lead ammunition used in hunting. Tejon Ranch Company worked closely with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish & Game, Audubon California and several hunting and environmental organizations to design the new regulation.

Control Releases First Mobile Platform Integrating PayPal and Stripe Data, and Adds Two Senior Advisors to BoardTuesday, October 4, 2016
Company Profile | Follow Company
SaaS, E-Commerce and Subscription Businesses Can Now See Real-Time Payments Analytics
Vancouver, BC, October 4, 2016--(T-Net)--Control, a mobile leader in payment analytics and alerts platform for software as a service (SaaS), e-commerce, and subscription-based businesses, has announced the launch of its fully integrated PayPal and Stripe-compatible product, available across both mobile and web.
With this milestone launch, SaaS, e-commerce and subscription-based businesses now have consumer-grade mobility when it comes to their metrics, allowing them to respond to important payment events the instant they happen.
Alexander Peh, Head of Mobile and Market Development, PayPal Canada, said: "The mobile payments space in Canada is in a high-growth phase and we are delighted to work with Control for their new mobile intelligence platform which offers greater value for our users."
"Data gets old fast. Relevant data is data that's happening right now, and the immediacy of customer data you get with Control is what makes the information useful," says Kathryn Loewen, the founder and CEO of Control. "In this case, merchants are agnostic to whether the data is coming from PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay or Alipay. They want to know about high-risk activity, churn rate and average revenue per user, as it happens."
This release is a win for Control's customers, such as VisualPing, which monitors payment data from more than 300,000 users fragmented across multiple channels, including PayPal and Stripe, according to the company.
"I use Control to monitor new payments. It's the first app I open when waking up and the last one I check at night," says VisualPing and AdLinks founder and CEO Serge Salagar.
Control relieves users from needing to switch between dashboards, exporting spreadsheets, and manually calculating key business metrics. All key Stripe and PayPal metrics, payments, and customers are consolidated into one app.
Control plans to bring real-time payments alerts to support other payment gateways as well, to help merchants around the world to better understand important activity in their businesses.
Control is available as an Android, iOS and web app, with a 14-day free trial. It operates on a freemium model, with users on the free tier still able to use Control as a simple payments dashboard and accept mobile payments through the app. Control has grown its user base to 600 subscription users among SaaS companies since securing seed funding last year.
This month, Control added two new members to their board of advisors:
About Control
Control is a leader in mobile payment analytics and alerts for SaaS, subscription and e-commerce businesses, enabling instant intelligence anywhere via its Android, iOS, and web apps.

Going to a Ska Show? Here's What to Wear
Story By Juan Gutierrez | L.A. Weekly
Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 3:45 AM
o you want to go to a ska show. Or maybe you want to start a ska band. Good for you! Now the question is: What should you wear? Because, nothing will identify you as an impostor faster than a wack outfit.
The first thing to know: Since ska is derivative of many other musical genres, ska fashion is also a mishmash of styles. Ska arose in early '60s Jamaica, combining elements of jazz, rock, swing, and other snippets from U.S. radio. But it soon moved around the globe, and after a heyday in white America in the '90s it's now quite popular in Latino L.A.
Ska fashion, meanwhile, ranges from the classic two tone styles of the British skinhead scene to the dapper wears of L.A's backyard punk scene. Let's take a closer look.
What to wear: Fly Blazer
When it comes to shirts, styles include the basic white tank top, flannels, band shirts, or even that nice checkered v-neck sweater your grandmother gave you. To tell the truth, most any hipster clothes will do.
How to wear them: Roll up the cuffs
Cuffed pants reflect the influence of old rock 'n roll, and tight trousers — even ripped jeans — will fit in great. You can even class it up with some slacks a la the two-tone style of The Specials.
Actually, acceptable footwear can range from classic Vans and Chucks (preferably checkered and black and white) to boots, loafers, Doc Martens eight-hole boots or Gibsons — plain black, oxblood or cherry red.

We thought 2015 was arguably the most exciting year in the history of privacy. Well 2016 has brought even more changes, challenges and chances to this field: the GDPR was published; the EU-US Privacy Shield took over from Safe Harbour, e-Privacy legislation is being reformed, a new UK Information Commissioner arrived and last but not least the UK referendum result was for Brexit, adding a sizable serving of uncertainty.

Sun is shining, no wind to speak of, snow is trying to melt.. really nice! Chance and i got the big bunch of cows in the corral.. I had to clean some gates of hard packed snow so they would swing, but then got them in, sorted off some more of the thinner backed ones and the ones moving slow.. this cold spell sure took some condition off them… these stay in closer and get fed better, tho' the others get all they need, but now I can feed them further out and hopefully they will be able to move around and pick.. supposed to stay nice for the extended outlook, talking 45 on Wednesday.. I hope it stays good like they until spring then gets real nice!
Had my 59th birthday and had a real good day. Cindy fed me to good and spoiled me and got lots of notes from friends all over. All the boys called and the grankids all wished me a Happy birthday. It was one of the best I've ever had.
Been just above freezing for the highs the past week and some below temps, at least at night, then thew wind blows to the windchill is pretty cold. Been feeding quite a bit of hay, pushing some snow and staying warm. Sounds like we may get up in the 20's tomorrow and then back to single digits for the rest of the week for highs and perhaps one more snow. Got some pretty big drifts and we've been pushing trails out. Cows are all close to the buildings so it's pretty handy to feed. Wish I had a bale unrulier that would handle these heavier bales. Need to re-build the one I've got so the front don't pop up in the air when you hook on to a bale and then make these fat horses do some work. The tractor wouldn't run right the other day and it was ice in the water evaporator or separator or what ever. Had to run to Rapid and get a new fuel filter and it's run fine ever since… sure glad Chance and Tate are better mechanics than I am! We put in a new tank just north of the new house and got it hooked up last fall, but the tire is too big and has too much rise in the center so it's hard to keep enough water over the float and enough water circulating as cows drink it, to keep it working like it should. That is on the to do list for next summer… put in a smaller tire tank and make it work better.. may even cover it so it has less chance to freeze… this one has a cover on the cement ring in the middle where the inlet comes in, but it just isn't deep enough, so twice a day at least, you go break ice so it will work right… sure am appreciating this front wheel assist tractor!

Author: Cynthia Hand
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: January 4, 2011
Source: NetGalley ARC
Synopsis: (from Goodreads) In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees. . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what it is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place–and out of place, at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make–between honesty and deciet, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
First impressions: Clara is immediately likable. I loved her from the start. Her voice is easygoing, unpretentious, funny and believable. The first few pages really set up the strong relationship with her mother and her insecurities with her purpose, which kept me reading.
Lasting impressions: I was slightly annoyed that the book so obviously leads into a sequel. I love cliffhangers, but only with established series where I am totally invested in continuing to read. Here, it feels like a gimmick to get me to buy the next book, which based on this story, I probably won't do.
Negative impressions: Yet another love triangle. Yet another female protagonist who underestimates her own beauty. I don't usually mind familiar tropes, but here I felt there wasn't much new being offered. I also felt there wasn't enough urgency for Clara to discover her purpose. The summer she spends with Tucker was captivating, but it seemed like a detour from the main story that didn't slide seamlessly into the action.
Overall impressions: I think there's a good book hidden in here somewhere. Sort of like with comedians who don't quite nail the right joke, I think Hand has good material that didn't quite get executed to its fullest potential. Clara is such a great MC that I really wanted to love the book, but in the end, I just kind of liked it. Something about Christian irritated me, and by the time the relationship with Tucker started to develop, I didn't really care about either of them anymore. I just wanted her to get around to doing something.
I think there were one or two superfluous characters that distracted from the plot more than they added to it. I didn't feel Wendy or Jeffrey added much to the action or character development. They may be Chekhov's guns. Perhaps they add something more to the sequel, due out in 2012. Personally, I feel that all characters should either advance the MC or advance the story, and if they do neither then why spend time with them?
Overall, the story was interesting and I loved Clara. Despite a few issues I had with suspending my disbelief when it came to the angel concept, I found the book engaging. In the end, I think this turned out to be a nice debut and a good book, although with some tighter editing I think it could have been great.
Rating: 3/5 stars

Long-Term Side Effects of Viral Meningitis
Viral meningitis or aseptic meningitis, is relatively mild and patients recover in a few days. Meningitis is an infection of the membranes surrounding the central nervous system and the fluid circulating the spinal cord. Long-term effects can result if the infection spreads into the adjacent brain tissue resulting in a variety of neurological symptoms and infections.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Learning Disabilities
Infants and children who suffer viral meningitis may be left with learning disabilities as the infection damages parts of their developing brains. A cover article published in the American Academy of Family Physicians, May 1999, by Dr Norris, reported the long term effects in newborns and young infants diagnosed with aseptic meningitis included learning disabilities, neuromuscular problems and loss of hearing.
Memory Problems
Viral meningitis can affect memory. Both short-term and long-term memory problems have been reported by patients who have been treated for viral meningitis. An article published in Oxford Journals of Brain, December 2005, by researcher H. Schmidt, concluded that patients recovering from aseptic meningitis had impaired memory functions and learning disabilities.
Visual Impairments
Viral meningitis can present with visual problems, like diplopia (double vision) or esotropia (one or both eyes turned inward), or divergence paralysis. An article published in the Journal of Neuro-opthalmalogy, June 2008, by researcher SL Bakker, reported the first case of a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with temporary divergence paralysis with viral meningitis. These symptoms are latter stage signs of viral meningitis infection. The virus has spread throughout the body via the cranial nerves that connect the brain to various parts of the body, including the visual cortex.
Auditory Problems
Viral meningitis can cause hearing loss and tinnitus. An article published in Deafness Research, United Kingdom in association with The Meningitis Research Foundation, September 2005, cited 10 percent of children who had recovered from meningitis suffered permanent deafness or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Tinnitus has several causes, and one of them is damage to the auditory (hearing) pathways in the central nervous system. Another can be damage to the delicate internal organs and bones of the middle ear and inner ear, for example, the cochlea. Tinnitus can be a temporary or permanent condition.
Virus Infections
Viral meningitis is caused by viruses infecting the brain meninges (membrane layers covering the spinal cord and brain) which can result in serious long term complications and infections in multiple organs. A fact sheet on meningitis and encephalitis published on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) website, cited that many cases of meningitis were from viral origin versus bacterial. The Enterovirus, found commonly in the nose, throat and intestinal lining is responsible for most of the cases of viral meningitis. Viruses such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Herpes simplex virus, and mumps virus can cause tissue inflammation, infections and encephalitis.

I honestly feel ridiculous that every other day I have something new that I got in the mail to post but here we go!I just got a job a couple of months ago and obviously when I started getting paid I did the usual thing people do when they get a job which is to spend it all on things you've been wanting! I almost forget about the things I ordered but then they show up and it's so exciting and I want to share it with you guys!
My goal for next year is to move to Sydney so I'm trying to cut down on spending a lot and I'm doing an okay job of it. Not a good job.... okay probably not even an okay job. Let's just say I'm getting better but I'm not completely good at saving. It's the first time in my life where I've earned my own money and I just want to spend it but I need to have some discipline and remember my goal.
|My Ray-Ban Aviators - please ignore the bags under my eyes, I had only had 5 hours sleep and then worked for 7 hours haha.
A couple of years ago I looked into getting a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers but never got them for some reason, so it's weird that I've come full circle, found another style that I liked and got a pair.
|In their beautiful case! I really love this case because not only is it really good quality and will protect the glasses, but it looks all old-timey and matches the 90s cop vibe of the aviators.

The Dietitians of Canada Board of Directors provided new Organization Priorities to the Association in 2016, under an overarching outcome that "Policy makers and the public acknowledge that nutrition is a primary contributor to improving health and that the dietitian profession's unique body of knowledge and skills makes an integral contribution to health improvement". Within this broad aim, the fourth organization priority is "Decision makers in education systems, public health and health systems, agri-food and other relevant sectors have readily available evidence-informed and actionable advice that informs policy in support of healthy food environment". DC members would have ready access to "a meaning of 'sustainable food system that promotes healthy diets'.
The purpose of this Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) Initiative was to launch work within the membership of Dietitians of Canada, to develop a common understanding of SFS, something dietitians could stand behind. The vision is that DC members will have evidence-informed, actionable information and advice to put forward in intersectoral dialogue, advocating for innovations at multiple tables.
The theme of the 17th International Congress of Dietetics, hosted in Granada, Spain in September 2016, was "going to sustainable eating". DC members Liesel Carlsson and Roxane Wagner caught the enthusiasm and agreed to Co-Chair a leadership team for this initiative, exploring Sustainable Food Systems. We are proud of the milestones achieved, as highlighted in the timeline below.

As you'll probably already be aware, Christmas shopping online is going to take a huge amount of time and stress out of the run up to Christmas for you. It will make sure you not only get everything you want, it'll also mean you can have it delivered to you in the comfort of your own home; now what could be more convenient than that?
In this article we're going to look at 6 top tips when it comes to doing your Christmas shopping online.
Christmas Shopping Online Tip 1: making a list, checking it twice …
… Ok, you may not have to check it twice, but having some idea of what you want to buy, and making a note of it, is going to save you a lot of time and money online.
The reason for having a list is the fact that you can do so many cost comparisons on the internet. If you see the thing you're after on one site it always makes sense to check for it on other sites too; it's amazing just how much prices can vary from one company to another.
When comparing the costs you should also bear in mind the cost of postage. Some of the prices you see may be a lot cheaper than at a competitor's site, but, by the time you add in the postage on the two sites the actual difference may be minimal.
Christmas Shopping Online Tip 2: buy early.
Most people will already know that the earlier you buy the more likely you are to avoid the dreaded 'sold out' message; it applies to any method you choose to buy that highly in demand gift this Christmas.
If you've made your list, as mentioned in tip one, then you should have been able to get a head of the crowd, if not, you may find it difficult because online retailers often carry more stock of an item than the high street equivalent.
If this happens to you then you should keep checking to see who else stocks it, or, if you don't mind paying a premium, have a look at some online auction sites to see if it's being sold on there.
Christmas Shopping Online Tip 3: Shop smart, shop safe.
If you're buying from a small website ie not an online extension of a big high street company, then you should always check to make sure that they are using a secure server.
If the website is secure then you should have no worries about using your credit card, and giving them your delivery details, because those details won't be accessible by any person not involved in the transaction of the product.
You should also be able to find a copy of the terms and conditions, and privacy policy of the company on their website.
Christmas Shopping Online Tip 4: wrapping up the purchase.
Often, especially over the Christmas period, the online retailer will give you the option to have the product wrapped – depending on what you've bought, of course – and it will generally only add a small charge to the overall price.
Wrapping can be one of the most time consuming and frustrating things to do, especially if you aren't very good at wrapping gifts, don't have much time, or just don't want to, and someone else is prepared to do it for you, then this is an option that's well worth taking up.
Christmas Shopping Online Tip 5: make sure they will deliver before Christmas.
There is nothing worse than finding the right gift, getting the best price, and then discovering that they won't be able to deliver before Christmas, right? Well no, the worst thing is discovering after buying it that they won't be able to deliver before Christmas.
Most of the best online retailers will tell you if the product is in stock; if it isn't they'll indicate when it should be available, as well as when it can be sent when they do get it in stock. If they already have it they will have some indication on the website of when they expect the last day to be to send it to you and still make the Christmas deadline.
If none of these dates are obvious then they may have them in a section on postage, if not, you could either contact them by phone, or email or just look for some other company that has it in stock.
Christmas Shopping Online Tip 6: digital Christmas cards.
One of the great innovations of the last few years – for people of a slightly forgetful nature – is the eCard. There are a number of websites that let you send virtual Christmas cards to a person's inbox, so, if it's Christmas Eve and you've realized that you haven't sent a card to Aunt Sophie overseas, the eCard will come to your rescue.
A lot of these Christmas cards are interactive so they can be great fun for kids that receive them, but one warning, sending them too often to the same people just makes you start to look as though you only remember them at the last minute – whether that's the case or not.
There we have it; 6 top tips for Christmas shopping online.
Make a list so you can do better comparisons. Buy early to avoid disappointment, and to make sure that the item is delivered before Christmas. Always make sure that the site you buy from is protected and gives their terms and conditions etc. Save some time and money by getting them to gift wrap it. Finally, if you discover that you've missed someone off of your Christmas card list, an eCard may just save the situation.
While there's still time, make the most of these tips for doing your Christmas shopping online.

I'm not a fan of the advertising-based model for social media services. To use the web and social media effectively, you have to do what you can to widdle-down the feeds and noise so you can obtain and provide value. Advertising models used to support these sites and services really only hinder and distort these resources.
I was really interested in App.net because of a more focused and honest model where the user pays for something and gets something in return. As Facebook remains Facebook and Twitter descends into trying to insert more and more ads, I am hopeful for something like App.net to ascend. So, I bought in and was able to get into the alpha going on right now. After about a week of playing around, I am pleasantly surprised.
The service right now is pretty barebones but evolving nicely. After many days of posting and interacting with App.net via the web and mobile interface, I didn't have any issues and enjoyed the clean minimal interface. But, when I was able to get involved with the iOS app AppApp beta testing, that is when I really started to incorporate it into daily life.
Here are some screenshots of what the UI looks like in AppApp (version 1.5)
App.net is still a really small community but it is growing and it is neat to see people feeling things out in the system and asking questions on why or why not. The same conventions Twitter users are familiar with hashtags and @ symbol call-outs are running in App.net so a transition has little to no learning curve.
Lots more to come with App.net but if you are looking to support a different kind of a service and are willing to invest in multiple ways to get that going, you should check App.net out.

I have, and it's always so fun!
My favourite levitation shots are from this blog post of mine
If your camera has the ability for burst/multiple shots, it's a good way to ensure that you have at least one photo of you in the air too.
It's really hard and I always laugh at myself at the resulting photos. But the trick is to look graceful and also try to hold your jump. Also make sure your camera has autofocus and could take multiples snapshots at once.posted about 7 years ago
@renr & @littleforest:
You guys pull it so well, oh my gosh! Teach us your ways hahah :P or maybe being a cute asian girl is a requirement?
i've actually never thought of a levitation shot but it seems really cool ^^posted over 6 years ago

Like levitation tricks? We built an iPhone app to let anyone be able to create awesome levitation photography with just an iPhone, no Photoshop or professional DSLR required! It's in appstore now. https://itunes.apple.com/app/id639426500posted over 6 years ago
I've tried a couple of days ago, you can see some here (last pics of the album)
but you know what? It's way easier to rely on photoshop instead of jumping. The trick is simple, trust me, if you follow the steps:
1)use a tripod, study the light, set the camera
2)take a picture of the background
3)take a second picture, without moving the camera, with you in your "levitation" pose with the same background of the first pic. You don't need to jump. Just use some objects (such as books, or even a stool or chair) where you will sit or lay
4) download the pics on your computer and put them as 2 different layers on the same document on photoshop
5)create a mask on the second picture
6) use the brush (set it on normal, play with the opacity, use black and no other colors) and simply paint the object you where sitting on, in order to make it disappear. MAGIC! instead of the books or chair or whatever, you will see the background!!
Yes, if you are not into photoshop, this will sound crazy, but just have a look at some good tutorials on you tube (look for "levitation photography tutorial) and you'll create amazing pictures!
Good luck ;)posted about 6 years ago

Northern California is well known for locations such as San Francisco, Alcatraz, Yosemite and Lake Tahoe; but what would a local recommend to those looking for an insider tour of the area? I sought to find out.
1. Sardine Lake
Sardine Lake is a secluded slice of paradise in the Tahoe Forest. This unspoilt lake offers stunning views and beautiful walks in a largely uninhabited area – perfect for a peaceful escape. There is a campsite a few minutes walk away but there are no R.V. hookups (connection to water, sewage or electricity facilities) available.
2. Meeks Bay – Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a vast lake which offers a range of camp grounds and beaches for a spectrum of budgets. Without doubt Meeks Bay on the southwest side of the lake offers unbeatable value for money, with relatively inexpensive sites and a private sandy beach. You will need to book well in advance though as demand for this bay is high.
3. Mendocino
If you are after the true taste of America this idyllic seaside town is it. With a wooden clad high street front and water towers Mendocino is a must, especially if you can catch its 4th of July parade.
4. Sea Glass beach at Fort Bragg
This dramatic piece of coastline is strewn with beautiful sea glass in an array of colours. Not only are people drawn to this beach for the sea glass but the wildlife is spectacular with sea lions scattered across this rocky coastline.
5. Phil's Fish Market and Eatery – Moss Landings
Hidden in an industrial dock area is Phil's. Though from the building you wouldn't be blamed for questioning the dining experience that awaits you, the packed car park outside is a tell tale for what waits within. Fresh fish caught in the bay is served simply; but is delicious. The place is packed full of locals at lunch and you can be hard pressed to find a table, but once you've tasted the food you will understand why.
6. Monterey Aquarium
Situated on the Bay, wildlife can be spotted both inside the Aquarium and outside from the viewing deck looking across the bay. With a large range of exhibits from great white sharks to jelly fish – Monterey Aquarium offers an alternative day out.
7. Berkeley Buffalo Exchange
Berkeley is infamous for its laid back hippie vibes and the Buffalo Exchange is no different. Whether you bring clothes to trade in for cash or scour its packed rails for vintage and second hand clothes, the Buffalo Exchange is one of the largest vintage outlets in Berkeley. Also, it's a cavern full of bargains!
8. Bosco's Bones & Brew Restaurant Saloon
If you are looking for an alternative from the classic American bar, this is certainly 'alternative'! Bosco the dog and ex-mayor of Sunol (yes, Mayor), stand stuffed behind the bar. If that wasn't enough, Bosco also serves as a beer tap…
To me this encompasses the true American experience and certainly makes for a memorable night out.
9. Basically Free Bikes: San Francisco to Sausalito
The ride across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco to Sausalito is a must, giving great views of the Bay area. Free Bikes give you this opportunity for 'basically free'. After picking up the bike you are reimbursed your bike rental in vouchers for a nearby sports shop. Take up this offer! You can buy anything from GoPro accessories to Baseball sets to play on the beach with.
10. Viewing point at Marin Headlands
Finally, if you are lucky enough to have a clear day in San Francisco the viewing point at Marin Headlands offers a great view across the Golden Gate Bridge towards the city. Parking is heavily restricted in the area but it's worth the wait.

Filming for Star Wars: Episode VII is currently underway at Pinewood Studios in the UK, but the cast and crew have already suffered what could be a major delay. It's not without good reason, though. Harrison Ford has been crushed by a falling door while on set.
It was a hydraulic door that fell on to him forcing him to the ground late yesterday afternoon. After quickly being assessed by the medical team on hand at Pinewood, he was airlifted to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford by helicopter. We are still waiting for a full health assessment from the hospital, but it looks like Ford isn't in too bad of a condition. His ankle has been fractured, that seems certain, but they are still investigating if he has any serious chest or other injuries.
A fractured ankle is sure to complicate the filming schedule as the 71-year-old Ford won't be able to walk around for a few weeks, possibly months. Disney has confirmed that shooting will continue without him, but they'll have to quickly rejig things and delay his scenes. We don't know how heavily he will feature in the movie, so this could either be a minor inconvenience or a major setback for the shoot.
We all wish Harrison Ford a very speedy recovery and hopefully he can be, quite literally, back on his feet quickly. In the meantime, if he likes soccer then he's got a month's worth of entertainment to watch while he recuperates as the World Cup 2014 kicked off yesterday.

With the increasing popularity of online shopping, we are currently living in the future. Everything from furniture to electronics to clothing and food can now be bought without leaving your home. Online products often tend to be cheaper than that you get from stores. You will find numerous posts on buying online products in the internet but as long as buying clothes online are concerned, there's a take! Majority of the products will be inspected for quality but clothes need to fit on your body.
As long as you ignore the deceiving customer reviews, going through the actual reviews can often be helpful for analyzing quality. But clothing fit is something more unique and personal. The stylish pair of shoes or that fashionable jacket may look good on its own but it may not complement the shape of your body. This is when it can become a regrettable buy. So, here are some tips that you can consider before buying clothes online.
- Measure your body perfectly: Before you may find out clothes which fit your body, you should know what it means for the clothes to fit your body. Get yourself a measuring tape, the soft type which is meant for measuring your body. Now which are the measurements which you should know about your body? The size of your chest, waist, shoulders, hips, length of sleeve, and shoe size, these are some of the measurements you should know, at the least. Men, on the other hand, should know their neck size and women should know their bust size.
- Buy after consulting the size chart: Majority of the online clothing stores like sainttropez.com offer size chart for all kinds of items. You may have an idea of how jackets, shirts and gloves are measured in small, medium or large. Your size may be somewhere between medium and small and this is where the requirement of size chart comes in.
- Look out for the retailer which fit you: It is nothing new when it is said that different retailers cater to different demographics. You have to do some sort of research to find out the differences between retailers based on size, petite, classics and forward fashion. If you're stuck with a few stores, you should try to stick to those brands only when you shop online. Feel free to visit a physical store before buying clothes online.
- Be aware of the return policy: The sad truth is that irrespective of the effort that you put into searching for the right clothes, some will never match your body shape. While you could keep the wrong dress and later on pass it someone else, majority tries to return it. This is why you should be well aware of understanding the policy of returning a product.
So, if you're more of an online shopper, make sure you follow the above mentioned tips to be able to buy the right dress which fits you perfectly. Wearing a dress that doesn't fit you will make you look ugly.

A really great school
I recommend AIP because for me it was the perfect combination of professional spanish classes, organisation and a really nice and familiar setting. AIP also offers to participate in excursions, which is great for people who are new to Valencia. I lived in a shared flat with other students of AIP and I can also recommend this option - the flat was very near to the school (which is located central in a nice area).

Pre-emptive Attacks on Dust Rules Draw Rebuke From EPA
By GABRIEL NELSON of Greenwire

Farm groups and members of Congress are jumping the gun in their efforts to stop U.S. EPA from making its air pollution rules tougher on dusty rural areas, the agency's second-in-command said yesterday.
The stopgap spending bill passed by the House last week included an amendment, sponsored by Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.), that would prevent EPA from updating the national air quality standards for coarse particles. It was a pre-emptive strike, meant to stop the agency from following through on a set of recommendations from staffers that were seen by farming groups as a threat to rural areas (E&E Daily, Feb. 19).
Some farmers and other rural industry groups are claiming that EPA is trying to crack down on farm dust for the first time. They say many rural areas would have trouble meeting the new standard because of the dust kicked up by cattle and trucks on dirt roads.
The argument has gotten support from lawmakers such as Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), who argued on the House floor that a change to the dust standards would allow EPA to levy new fines on farmers and would require costly control measures that defy common sense.
"The dust police rule would make it more expensive to feed America," Poe said. "Does the EPA wish that we import all of our food, like we do crude oil? This sounds a little bit un-American to me."
The Noem amendment, which passed 255-168, has indeed caught EPA's attention, but the agency doesn't agree with the criticism. Claims that EPA is planning to create onerous new rules for farm dust aren't based on reality, Deputy Administrator Bob Perciasepe said.
"Of course, we've had a coarse particle standard for many, many decades, and many places have done remarkable things, including the Central Valley of California, to comply with those," he said during an event in Washington. "But we have not proposed any different standard."
"The key is, in order to get the certainty, we've got to move forward with the process," he added in response to the amendment, which would block EPA from reviewing the standards. "And in order to move forward with the process, people have to have discussions that are not based on what might happen, but what is actually, really happening."
Even without restrictions on its budget, EPA is already running behind on its review of the dust and soot limits.
The agency has yet to release a key staff memo on its options for the standards, which are supposed to be updated every five years. That policy assessment was expected last fall, and without it, staffers will have a hard time finishing a final rule by the October deadline in the Clean Air Act (Greenwire, Jan. 27).
A draft version of the policy memo suggested a new limit on coarse particles. Though staffers said that the day-to-day dust limit could be lowered to protect public health, their suggested standard would ignore more days with unusually high dust levels because scientists haven't found as strong a link between health problems and the brief spikes in the levels of dust that farmers are worried about.
The agency's draft memo said the two standards would be roughly equivalent, but critics say that's not the case.
A recent study commissioned by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) found that the suggested changes could double or triple the number of air pollution monitors that violate the standards. Most of those areas are in Great Plains and Southwestern states.
"If EPA moves forward with this overreaching regulation, ranchers could be fined for everyday activities like driving down the road, moving cattle or tilling a field," NCBA President Bill Donald said in a statement after the passage of the Noem amendment. "It is encouraging that some elected officials understand the detrimental impacts this regulation could have on production agriculture. I just hope EPA is listening."
