Latest Teradata Database Release Supports Big Data and the Convergence of Advanced Analytics

First time-aware database with advanced compression capabilities enabling as much as 20X more data for big data needs

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25 — (PRNewswire) — Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC) today announced general availability of the Teradata Database 13.10 providing new powerful analytic features to support leading edge customers working with complex big data and further advancing Teradata's strategic data warehousing architecture and vision. The innovative capabilities built into this new release will help customers get ahead of their businesses' analytic needs.

(Logo: )

(Logo: )

"Teradata Database 13.10 is built to be the centerpiece of enterprise analytics and high performance computing. We have extended our traditional lead with unique new features like automatic temporal analytics, extended compression capabilities and launched the Teradata Open Parallel Framework, for scalable big data analytics," said Scott Gnau, chief development officer, Teradata Corporation. "These innovative features extend our data warehouse services portfolio, Teradata Accelerated Analytics."

Businesses often overwrite critical pieces of historical data related to customer behavior and market conditions. Teradata's time-aware, temporal capability empowers customers to capture and track changes in the history of evolving business data, which creates a full picture of the company's business. Analyzing the data based on changes in the history rather than just the most current updates reveals a true, complete picture at any specific point in time. In doing so, companies gain greater visibility into data while reducing expensive implementation time and custom reports. In addition to temporal capabilities, other powerful features include:

  • Advanced and flexible data compression options that provide as much as 20 times more data with the flexibility to use the optimal compression mechanism for specific data types. They enable businesses to economically respond to the growing thirst for data and big data applications.
  • New analytic functions and expanded capabilities within the Teradata Open Parallel Framework improve precision analysis and application performance.
  • Customer driven innovation such as making Teradata Viewpoint the single, web-based portal for managing Teradata systems, queries, and workloads. These innovations support leading-edge customers and their diverse and complex workload demands.

"The ability to query temporal data is an innovative capability important for data warehousing," said Mark Madsen, president of Third Nature. "The advanced nature of Teradata's temporal features and the non-intrusive way they can be added to applications puts the database far ahead of competitors in this space."

First Time-Aware Database

The Teradata Database 13.10 is the first to deliver intelligent temporal analytics making it easier for customers to create a historical picture of enterprise business transactions and activities. In doing so, companies now have the power to efficiently run queries, and analyze and manage data about how markets and conditions have changed or how they looked at any point in time. Business is highly dynamic, and temporal analytics helps customers discover deeper insights and patterns about the business.

"Including temporal logic in our applications has been a continuous challenge. The built-in temporal capability in Teradata Database 13.10 provides reduced complexity in our SQL and is executed with fewer full table scans than our existing temporal application. Built-in temporal capability will add value for our users and speed application development," said Ralf Hausmann, senior department manager, MGI METRO Group, Information Technology GmbH.

Automated temporal data management eliminates the need to manually manage and update effective or validity dates each time the data is modified, loaded or updated. The Teradata Database automatically executes the complex modifications and inserts the required data to maintain a complete change history when a user submits a simple update command. In addition, temporal intelligence is built into the Teradata Optimizer, meaning users are not required to use complex SQL, or structured query language, to get answers to their time-based business questions. Automated data management and simplified queries reduce data errors, simplify application development, and open temporal data analysis up to business users. Temporal analytics provide powerful capabilities for various types of customers requiring complex historical tracking and analysis functions. For example:

Insurance Insurers can now easily understand which customers had policies, including those with changes made retroactively or in advance of the policy start date. When a policy is modified and a change is posted, the Teradata Database automatically captures the new information and records it with the existing original data. Insurers can easily obtain answers to questions that impact profitability, such as whether a bill was issued with the old policy terms or new terms? Was a claim initiated and improperly processed because the policy had not yet been updated? Was a compliance report produced with the correct start date?

Manufacturing Manufacturers can now create more meaningful sales performance reports using sales territory realignment history. If a group of sales people is moved from one region to an adjoining region mid-year, the sales region which lost people will appear to be underperforming and the region which got new people will appear to be a star based on sales volume versus last year. Using temporal history to report based on sales people in the region at the beginning of the year, a more meaningful picture of how well the sales teams grew the business emerges.

Retail Retailers can now perform consistent year-over-year sales comparisons even as products are moved from one category to another. Teradata tracks not just transactions over time, but how data and the business change and evolve over time. For example, if a retailer moves ice cream from the frozen food category to the desserts category, databases without temporal support update the category information to "desserts," forever losing the history that ice cream used to be in the frozen food category. These small omissions can ultimately lead to incorrect results. If a category manager runs a report analyzing frozen food sales this year versus last year, the report would only capture products currently in frozen foods. Since the ice cream is no longer in frozen foods, the report run today will show lower sales for prior year than reports which were run last year prior to the re-classification. This can produce a misleading picture of business sales and potentially lead to poor strategy decisions.

Advanced Data Compression Capabilities

The Teradata Database 13.10 has enhanced compression technologies enabling customers to store more data with the flexibility to use the best compression mechanism for their situation. Data warehouses have evolved into mission-critical corporate resources and the volume and type of data that requires analysis has exploded. Teradata compression delivers a significant storage savings with up to 20 times compression for select data types and up to 4 times overall compression.

Block Level Compression provides a powerful compression technique, which operates at the data storage block level to deliver customers dramatic space savings. Algorithmic Compression is a column compression technique which allows the customer to select a compression algorithm matched to the data characteristics for superior results. Teradata Database includes three compression algorithms designed for common data. In addition, customers can also install their own algorithms matching their company- or industry-specific data.

The Teradata Database 13.10 also includes enhancements to Multi-Value Compression (MVC). MVC uses virtually no central processing unit resources for compression and decompression, and improves performance through reduced I/O as well as saving storage space. These valuable compression technologies are included with each Teradata Database license to deliver both the flexibility and the power of advanced compression capabilities to all Teradata customers.

Teradata Open Parallel Framework

Teradata has made industry-leading strides by optimizing and advancing its already extensible architecture. Teradata Open Parallel Framework, a high-performance in-database framework, enables the rapid addition of new embedded services designed to support complex parallel analytics. Teradata Database 13.10 builds on this extensible framework with additional embedded services functions to power enhanced SAS analytics, more precise geospatial processing, advanced web activity encoding and improved compatibility with other databases to make it easier for the many customers migrating from other vendors to Teradata.

Customer Driven Innovation

Teradata's innovative new temporal and compression capabilities in concert with ease of use, performance and enterprise fit enhancements further extend its lead in the data warehouse arena. Teradata Viewpoint is now the single web-based portal for managing Teradata systems, queries, and workloads, enhancing ease of use. For performance improvements, Teradata focused on its Optimizer. Performance of queries that use character fields can now be significantly improved through the partitioned primary index. This allows the optimizer to intelligently eliminate scanning of all data and only scan the most relevant data. For example, when analyzing insurance policies issued in the state of California , the optimizer will eliminate all rows in a table except those with the state code 'CA' indicating California. This capability can improve scan performance between five times and 100 times over scanning the entire table. Enterprise fit is enhanced by the extended communications server, which provides lower cost and greater flexibility when integrating with remote mainframe computers.

General Motors' New Electric Vehicle Uses GE's ecomagination(1) Technology

DETROIT—(BUSINESS WIRE)—January 6, 2007— It's been nearly 100 years, but Thomas Edison's belief in electricity as a viable propulsion system for automobiles is one step closer to reality due to the efforts of General Motors and General Electric. Today, GE participated in General Motors' unveiling of its newest concept vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt, here at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The Volt's E-Flex flexible propulsion system offers a global blended range of transportation energy solutions to regional energy issues and driving behavior.

GE Plastics played the role of a strategic partner in enabling the design and development of the Chevrolet Volt, by contributing the key materials technology to reduce part weight up to 50 percent and design engineering support to help position the vehicle as a way to help the world diversify its energy sources and to reduce the dependence on petroleum.

In the United States alone, almost half the households have a daily mileage of less than 30 miles per day. The Chevrolet Volt concept vehicle is capable of 40 miles of pure electrical vehicle driving, which according to the Environmental Protection Agency, means that, for most city drivers, the Chevrolet Volt will use little or no gasoline. In the spirit of ecomagination(1), GE Plastics' differentiated technologies helped reduce the weight on the Volt and optimize its fuel efficiency so that drivers can now skip the pump to extend their mileage and increase savings.

"GM's commitment to improving fuel economy, reducing vehicle emissions, and developing electrically-driven vehicles is facilitated with GE Plastics' weight-reduction technologies on the Chevrolet Volt concept car. We were able to take mass out of the Volt in order to optimize its overall efficiency," said General Motors' vice president of Global Program Management, Jon Lauckner. "Through the independent auditor, GreenOrder, we were also able to see clear positive environmental results from working with GE Plastics," said Lauckner.

"GE's history and leadership in technology innovation led to this great opportunity to collaborate with GM on the Volt," said Gregory A. Adams, vice president for the Automotive business at GE Plastics. "We were able to help GM to develope this environmentally-responsible vehicle with outstanding performance, strength, and style. Together with GM, we assembled a joint project team to drive forward the development of this monumental new electric vehicle."

GE's fuel saving technologies showcased on the Chevy Volt include:

-- Roof made with Lexan(1) GLX resins and Exatec(2) coating technology

-- Rear deck lid and fixed side glazing made with Lexan GLX resins and Exatec coating technology

-- Doors and hood made with Xenoy iQ(1) high performance thermoplastic composites (HPPC)

-- Global energy absorber and hybrid rear energy absorbers with Xenoy iQ resins

-- Steering wheel and instrument panel with integrated airbag chute made with Lexan EXL resins

-- Front fenders made with Noryl GTX(1) resins

-- Wire coating made with Flexible Noryl(1) resins

"GE is driving the next generation of materials: greener, lighter, with aesthetically better properties that enable customers, such as GM to create vehicles with a reduced environmental impact," said Adams. "This effort builds upon each company's long-standing commitment to help improve the environment and we are pleased to be working on such a visionary project."

GE's High-Tech Plastics Pave the Way to a Greener Chevrolet Volt

GE Plastics understands the tremendous pressures its automotive customers face with respect to developing fuel-efficient vehicles. GE's resins and newest composite technologies are some of the key lightweight materials that helped GM to reduce mass on the Volt. These materials also allow for less fuel consumption, fewer carbon dioxide emissions, and improved overall performance.

Composites are typically used in the aerospace industry and on racecars due to their super lightweight structure and performance. GE Plastics, in partnership with Azdel(1), Inc., premieres its own version of composites made with Xenoy iQ resins on the Volt doors and hood. The composite addresses three critical environmental concerns: conserving energy, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and up-cycling or regenerating post-consumer waste such as polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles.

Amanda Roble, executive director for GE Plastics' Automotive business stated: "On the Volt, the fender, window glazings, instrument panel, and steering wheel can each offer from 30 to 50 percent weight reduction per part. Wire running throughout the Volt is made from non-halogenated GE plastics and reaches an approximate 25 percent weight reduction compared to traditional wire in automobiles."

GreenOrder, an environmental strategy firm based in New York, N.Y. that also audited the Volt claims, validated that if 3.2 million passenger vehicles of 3,500 pounds were manufactured making the same use of GE Plastics' weight reducing components, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by more than 194,000 tons each year - that is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by over 48,000 acres of forest. It would also save more than 20 million gallons of oil each year - an amount equal to 30 Olympic-size swimming pools or more than 470,000 barrels of oil.

Enabling Signature Surfaces and Safety

Design Signature Surfaces

When it comes to improving fuel economy, even the most discreet design features can add up to significant fuel savings and improved safety. GE's plastics enabled GM Design custom styling cues to differentiate the Volt from any other vehicle concept in the world.

"The overall solid shape, open-air roof, high beltline, and powerful, crisp fender forms of the Volt are made possible only with GE design-enabling materials," said Bob Boniface, director of GM's Warren Advanced Design Studio.

The transparent plastic window glazings instill a sense of openness, while allowing drivers 360 degrees of clear vision and improved safety. A scalloped hood, high shoulders, sinewy, and tight lines are made possible through select GE Plastics resins, allowing the GM designers to create exciting shapes and forms.

"The distinctive styling of the Volt was the result of allowing the GM design team to explore unique and elegant new possibilities made possible by GE's alternative materials," states Robert Butterfield, global market director for Design Innovation at GE Plastics' Automotive business.

Leading-Edge Preventative Occupant and Pedestrian Safety Systems

GM's challenge in designing the Volt was to make safety an aspirational aspect of the vehicle's design and, accordingly, two key GE technologies have been employed. The first key occupant protection instrument panel system first premiered in the United States in 2005 with GM, and its proven reliability is what makes it an integral part of the Volt cockpit. With active occupant protection to brace the front passenger, the automatically extending fragment free airbag deployment is designed to keep the passenger safe prior to an impending accident, to prepare both occupants and vehicle for a collision.

The second technology from GE is a global energy absorber designed to meet pedestrian safety regulations worldwide. GE Plastics' energy absorbers allow the Volt to maintain aggressive vehicle styling architecture, and meet both North American (FMVSS/CMVSS) and European Union (Pedestrian Phase 2 of the Pedestrian Protection Directive) bumper impact legislations.

Dangerous curve

February 7, 2009

To the editor:

This is regarding the 90-degree curve at Michigan and Riverridge. When is someone within the city going to properly warn drivers of the upcoming curve? Maybe when someone actually dies, or kids are playing in the backyard just behind the curve and they get injured. I have seen countless wreckage at that site. It must cost the city more to fix the steel than it would to throw up a warning sign with flashing lights.

People who live within that area know of the dangerous curve, but someone traveling that road for the first time would really have no clue of the upcoming danger. I’m just hoping that the problem gets solved before I say “I told you so.”

Jarrod Lynds,

Carol Braden 7 years, 8 months ago

As the majority of the wrecks at North Michigan and Riverridge have occurred in the middle of the night, I would guess that alcohol was the strongest contributor. N Michigan and Riverridge used to be a curve. However, when N Michigan was repaved, this area was changed to 90 degree turn where the roads end. It's somewhat unusual, but less dangerous. A left or right turn forces drivers to turn more slowly than when taking a curve. As long as we have drunk drivers on the road, no stretch of road or yard is safe.

627,000 file unemployment claims nationally last week; 5 million receiving unemployment

February 19, 2009

— The number of unemployed workers receiving unemployment benefits jumped to an all-time high near 5 million earlier this month, while new jobless claims remain well above 600,000. Both figures were worse than expected and new projections from the Federal Reserve show unemployment rising for the rest of this year.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of people receiving regular unemployment benefits edged up to 4.99 million, marking the fourth straight week those receiving benefits have been at a record level.

The continuing claims figure underscores the difficulty people are having in this recession finding another job, which means they are forced to receive benefits for a longer period.

An additional 1.5 million people are receiving benefits under an extended unemployment compensation program approved by Congress last year, bringing the total number of people receiving unemployment benefits to 6.54 million for the week ending Feb. 7.

New applications for unemployment benefits totaled 627,000 last week, the same as the previous week, according to the department. But that was still more than the 620,000 claims economists expected.

It also remained near the 631,000 claims filed three weeks ago, which was the highest tally since October 1982, when the economy was emerging from a steep recession, though the labor force has grown by about half since then.

The cascade of layoff notices in recent weeks has heightened concerns about the current recession, already the longest in a quarter-century.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., said Wednesday it will cut nearly 5,000 jobs, or almost 7 percent of the biggest U.S. tire maker’s work force, this year after it posted a fourth-quarter loss and revenue sank 21 percent. The cuts follow the elimination of about 4,000 jobs in the second half of last year.

General Motors Corp. and Chrysler on Tuesday filed plans with the government more than doubling their request for aid to a total of $39 billion and announced plans for thousands more job cuts. GM alone said it would cut 47,000 jobs globally by the end of the year — 19 percent of its work force, and Chrysler said it will cut 3,000 more jobs.

The Fed released a new economic forecast on Wednesday that reduced its growth forecast for 2009 and increased its unemployment rate projections. The new forecast predicts that unemployment will hit between 8.5 and 8.8 percent this year, up from the current level of 7.6 percent.

And in an appearance at the National Press Club, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that “strong and aggressive action” would be able to overcome the current recession and jolt the economy back into growth. But he said “if we fail ... then the situation will continue to deteriorate.”

President Barack Obama pointed to the deteriorating economy to win quick passage of an $787 billion economic stimulus program which he signed into law this week. On Wednesday, Obama unveiled a $75 billion program aimed at halting the surging level of mortgage foreclosures in the wake of the worst slump in housing in decades.

Statehouse Live: Proposal seeking to halt health insurance requirement will be debated again in 2011 Kansas Legislature session

December 14, 2010, 10:26 a.m. Updated December 14, 2010, 4:57 p.m.

— Kansas officials are preparing for the federal health care reform law while at the same time state leaders are fighting it tooth and nail.

On Tuesday, Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger and Kansas Health Policy Authority Executive Director Andrew Allison said the state was taking the necessary organizational steps to position itself for expansion of coverage under the new law.

“We are doing everything we have to do to stay on track,” Praeger said.

Currently, there are about 340,000 Kansans without health insurance.

Meanwhile, Praeger’s Republican colleagues are trying to derail President Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation.

A key state legislator said she will renew efforts to pass a measure aimed at blocking the federal requirement that Kansans buy health insurance.

Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, chair of the House Health and Human Services Committee, said she planned to reintroduce the measure when the Legislature convenes its 2011 session next month.

During the 2010 legislative session, Landwehr pushed for passage of the Kansas Health Care Freedom Amendment, which would have amended the Kansas Constitution to prohibit the state from requiring any individual or business to buy health insurance. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has a section that requires most Americans to have health care insurance, starting in 2014, or pay a penalty assessed on their federal income taxes. The requirement is a key part of the legislation and is being battled in court.

Landwehr’s measure failed earlier this year to get the votes necessary to put it on the ballot. Proposed constitutional amendments require a two-thirds margin in the House and Senate before they can be placed before voters. Republicans, however, will have a much larger majority next session in the House, 92-33 over Democrats, up from 79-46.

Landwehr also said she was exploring the possibility of making the proposal simply a change in state law, which would require simple majorities in the House and Senate, and the signature of the governor.

Gov.-elect Sam Brownback, a Republican who takes office Jan. 10, has been a vocal opponent of the federal health reform law and has joined a legal challenge to the law. And Attorney General-elect Derek Schmidt, a Republican, said he would file a legal challenge to the reform, describing it as an “unprecedented power grab” by the federal government.

Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, and a member of the Kansas House Health and Human Services Committee, said it will be difficult to stop passage of the health care freedom proposal, but he argued the insurance requirement is reasonable.

It was put into the bill to prevent insurance premiums “from going through the roof,” Ward said. If the requirement is removed, he asked, “How do we control premiums? How do we get these people showing up at emergency rooms without coverage to pay their fair share and be responsible? It’s a good debate to have.”

Cathy Harding, executive director of the Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved, whose membership includes 39 health safety-net clinics, said she believes state officials are moving forward based on what the current law says.

“If things change, we’ll adjust,” Harding said.

She said most major pieces of legislation are altered as conditions change. “Everyone expects the law to change. How much, no one knows,” she said.

On Monday, a federal judge in Virginia ruled that the federal requirement to have insurance was unconstitutional. Two other judges, however, have upheld the law.

Insurance Commissioner Praeger said, “This is going to be decided way down the line and probably at the U.S. Supreme Court.”

kuhusker 5 years, 10 months ago

What a waste of time. This issue will be decided by the federal courts. If they rule against the health care law, then it's history. If they rule in favor of it, then there's nothing Kansas can do, because of the Supremacy clause of the US constitution.

voevoda 5 years, 10 months ago

The state is facing a large deficit. Let's not waste state money tilting at the windmill of federal law or amending our state constitution. The current health insurance law actually benefits the state (or so says state Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, a Republican). The state legislature needs to focus on ways to raise more revenue. How about raising the top tax rate on the top 1%?

jafs 5 years, 10 months ago

Auto insurance regulations are enacted by states, not the federal government.

The question is whether the federal government, under the Commerce clause, has the right to require purchase of health insurance (or payment of a fine) as part of regulating interstate commerce.

"The question is whether the federal government, under the Commerce clause, has the right to require purchase of health insurance (or payment of a fine) as part of regulating interstate commerce."

Not quite. The relevant enumerated power is the Necessary and Proper Clause. Why is that?

One of the most supported changes across all demographic groups in the HCR law is the amendment to the Public Health Service Act that guarantees issue and renewal of health insurance contracts. In other words, you can't be denied insurance because of a pre-existing condition. As far as I know, nobody denies that this is a legitimate use of Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce through the Commerce Clause.

The problem with forcing insurance companies to offer everyone a policy who wants one is adverse selection: healthy people will not purchase insurance knowing that when they get sick, they can still get insurance. That drives the insurance plan into a death spiral. One way to keep the insurance plan's costs from dramatically rising is to grow the risk pool. You do that by increasing the number of healthy people that get insurance. That's what the individual mandate does. It's necessary to avoid a death spiral.

Are there other options to fix the issues from the guaranteed issue and renewal regulation? That's entirely possible. Maybe the subsidies will encourage enough people to sign up to avoid the death spiral (though the legitimacy of the subsidies could be questionable without the mandate). Maybe there's an idea out there somewhere that hasn't been brought to the table yet. But if there aren't other working ideas, it's hard to argue that the individual mandate isn't necessary and proper and, thus, a legitimate exercise of Congress's power through the Necessary and Proper Clause.

"Are there other options to fix the issues from the guaranteed issue and renewal regulation?"

One way to do it would be to automatically enroll everyone in an expanded Medicare, and there would be expanded payroll taxes to cover those expenses. If someone wants to opt out, they can buy insurance from a private insurer instead.

But, of course, private insurers exist to make a profit, not to provide health insurance, which would put them at a competitive disadvantage. Which is why they so vehemently oppose a public option.

Paul R Getto 5 years, 10 months ago

Not getting the uninsured 'into the boat' is and will continue to be a problem. I suspect it's illegal or, perhaps, unconstitutional, but getting rules in place that refuse medical treatment, ambulance rides and hospital care to anyone without insurance or a few hundred grand in their pocket should do the trick. This will be an interesting debate. There is no way to prevent rising medical costs; there are, however, strategies to expand the pool and to slow down the rate of increase. We shall see.

voevoda 5 years, 10 months ago

The most cost-effective solution to the health insurance conundrum is a single-payer plan. It cover everyone, regardless of their health status, age, or employment status. For people who currently carry comprehensive health insurance, it would cost less. For people who can't get or can't afford coverage, it would take away their worries. It would get employers out of the health insurance business altogether, saving a lot of bureaucratic costs. It would save the country billions of dollars in the costs of administering health insurance and lower the costs of health care.
What's standing in the way? Rich insurance companies who don't want to lose their profits. Rich people who don't want to share their health care services with the less well-to-do. Ideologues who would rather uphold ideological purity ("free market capitalism") than solve the problems of our country. The far right-wing propaganda machine that whips up hysteria ("death panels" "government-funded abortions") to confuse the electorate and get its candidates into public office.
Think of it this way: the expansion of the health care system provided to Congress, extended to all of us. Or an expansion of the VA system to all of us.

Maddy Griffin 5 years, 10 months ago

Agree! I wish Obama wasn't trying so hard to get along with the other side of the aisle that he ends up caving in on some of his best ideas. I cannot afford health insurance for myself, but my taxes help pay for Congress" health insurance. I want what they have. I really believe there should be "Medicare for all."

Paul R Getto 5 years, 10 months ago

Voevoda: I completely agree, but the administration wimped out on this one, most likely responding to pressure from the R's. As you point out, no one (posters here included) will suggest changes to any system if it looks like it will cost them money. We have always had 'death panels' in the medical/insurance industry. They are called accountants.

Centerville 5 years, 10 months ago

The best way to deal with this is to get the federal pin heads out of the system and allow doctors and hospitals to directly charge, and directly collect from, the patients they serve. Some people would opt to private pay, some would opt to take the chance on having to pay off a big medical debt if they get sick, but most would get HSAs or insurance.

Richard Heckler 5 years, 10 months ago

People in america must realize sooner or later privatization is a magic bullet for increasing the cost of most anything. Why do legislators love to talk about privatization? More than likely these ideas come from their special interest campaign money sources WHO WANT our tax dollars flowing their direction = guaranteed profits. Leave medicare and Social Security alone!

In america trillions of tax dollars are collected annually. So everybody in the USA is paying taxes somehow let's not play pretend.

The answer is we divert the appropriate amount of tax dollars annually to cover the cost of IMPROVED Medicare Insurance for ALL so that clinics and hospitals always get paid. This way new business is created and new jobs will be required to fill the demand.

Reducing the pork barrel military spending by 50% would be more than adequate to cover the cost. Eliminating pork barrel tax dollar subsidies to wealthy USA corporations would be enough to create a reserve fund aka planning ahead. Let them stand on their own.

AND we ignore the misinformation coming from special interest tax dollar junkies aka the Chamber of Commerce and the medical insurance industry neither of which provide medical care.

The U.S. health insurance system is typically characterized as a largely private-sector system, so it may come as a surprise that more than 60% of the $2 trillion annual U.S. health care bill is paid through taxes, according to a 2002 analysis published in Health Affairs by Harvard Medical School associate professors Steffie Woolhandler and David Himmelstein.

5 Social Security Myths from MSNBC

Richard Heckler 5 years, 10 months ago

Let's reduce health care costs by getting rid of the medical insurance industry. Why? Because the medical insurance industry does not provide health care. But they are a whopping expense. And most consumers do not spend what is paid out annually per policy.

Improved Medicare Insurance for All would provide real medical insurance reform!

The United States spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on healthcare – $8160 per capita – yet performs poorly in comparison and leaves over 46 million people without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered.

Expanded and Improved Medicare Insurance for All is one of the solutions.

  • Easy to Implement: Medicare has been in existence since 1966, it provides healthcare to those 65 and older, and satisfaction levels are high. The structure is already in place and can be easily expanded to cover everyone.

  • Simple: One entity – established by the government – would handle billing and payment at a cost significantly lower than private insurance companies. Private insurance companies spend about 31% of every healthcare dollar on administration. Medicare now spends about 3%.

  • Real Choice: An expanded and improved Medicare for All would provide personal choice of doctors and other healthcare providers. While financing would be public, providers would remain private. As with Medicare, you choose your doctor, your hospital, and other healthcare providers.

  • State and Local Tax Relief: Medicare for All would assume the costs of healthcare delivery, thus relieving the states and local governments of the cost of healthcare, including Medicaid, and as a result reduce State and local tax burdens.

  • Expanded coverage: Would cover all medically necessary healthcare services – no more rationing by private insurance companies. There would be no limits on coverage, no co-pays or deductibles, and services would include not only primary and specialized care but also prescription drugs, dental, vision, mental health services, and long-term care.

  • Everyone In, Nobody Out: Everyone would be eligible and covered. No longer would doctors ask what insurance you have before they treat you.

  • No More Overpriced Private Health Insurance: Medicare for All would eliminate the need for private health insurance companies who put profit before healthcare, unfairly limit choice, restrict who gets coverage, and force people into bankruptcy.

  • Lower Costs: Most people will pay significantly less for healthcare. Savings will be achieved in reduced administrative costs and in negotiated prices for prescription drugs.

All the above would significantly reduce the cost of all government and public school districts!

Maddy Griffin 5 years, 10 months ago

Insurance is like gambling. You can pay into it for many years and never get anything back.I've paid the insurance on my car(s) for many years and never had an accident or any reason to collect on it. I've probably paid enough in 37 years to buy a brand new car! I paid into a health insurance through my job or many years but never got any of that back when the job ended either. It's just a crap-shoot.

In other health-related news: "US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks show that the government of Cuba banned Michael Moore's 2007 documentary, Sicko, "because it painted such a 'mythically' favourable picture of Cuba's healthcare system that the authorities feared it could lead to a 'popular backlash', according to US diplomats in Havana." What, those gleaming hospitals aren't available to everyone in Cuba? And you can't believe everything you see in a Michael Moore movie? Say it ain't so!..."

40 years ago: Steady rains lead to flash-flood warnings

March 10, 2013

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 10, 1973:

  • The National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings today for smaller streams and creeks in northeast Kansas, including the Lawrence area. The warning came with a forecast for showers and occasional thunderstorms which were expected to bring up to two inches of additional precipitation in the area. Local officials were keeping their eyes on Mud Creek, just north of Lawrence, and Stranger Creek in Leavenworth County. "Of course, no telling what quick heavy rains could do," said Douglas County Undersheriff Dallas Murphy. "We'll just have to take it as it comes." As of noon today, Lawrence had already received 3.8 inches of rain for March, 1.5 inches above the normal monthly average.
  • Newly released photos captured by the Mariner 9 spacecraft were increasing expectations of life on Mars. Dr. Carl Sagan said this week that the photos showed that running water must have existed there in relatively recent times. "This finding greatly enhances the possibility of life on Mars and the chance that biological experiments such as those on the 1976 Viking lander spacecraft will detect it," Sagan said.

Susan Roberts (Copy Chief)

I joined the copy desk at the Lawrence Journal-World in March 1997, and am now the copy chief, supervising four other copy editors. Prior to coming to Lawrence, I worked at the Emporia Gazette for six and a half years, starting as the wire editor and regional reporter and ending as the city editor. I graduated from the University of Kansas in December 1986 and did a six-month internship at the Idaho Statesman in Boise. My husband, Rob, and I met at the Journal-World — he worked for about a year on the copy desk. We married on Cinco de Mayo, 1999, and now live in Eudora with two neurotic wiener dogs, Gus and Sophie, and a pretty mellow cat, Boo. I have two stepsons, Austin, a graduate of Kansas State University, and Todd, a student at Washburn University.

Almost six years ago, Pyro Studios and Eidos Interactive first teamed up to introduce gamers to a ragtag group of soldiers working together to turn the tide of battle during World War II. That effort continues with the release of Commandos: Strike Force for the Xbox. This time around, the squad is smaller, the action is more intense, and the gameplay has done a complete turnaround. But will all of this change help to revitalize the waning franchise, or will the Commandos squad be MIA from gamers' collections?

If you're a fan of the original Commandos games returning to the series for more of its tried and true tactical gameplay, prepare yourself for a shock. Commandos: Strike Force eschews the top-down, strategic style of play that fans were familiar with and instead attempts to rebuild the series as a more traditional first-person shooter. Apparently, the war has been costly to our group of heroes as well, as the number of classes represented in the game has been stripped down to just three: the Green Beret, the Sniper, and the Spy. This is a significant drop from the six original members of the first game and the nine available in Commandos 2.

Each of the three classes in Commandos: Strike Force has his own unique specialty and gameplay techniques required to turn back the Axis forces. The Green Beret will be most familiar to FPS fans, as he's your basic assault trooper. The Green Beret moves quick, strikes hard, and leaves behind a string of Axis corpses. He can handle dual firearms and grenades, and he also has the ability to play the part of a field medic and heal his squad mates during the heat of battle. The Green Beret is also the only character in the game that lacks any sort of stealth ability.

The Sniper uses his skill with throwing blades to quietly slice his way through Axis forces, making his way to strategic vantage points where his true skill can shine through. The Sniper can set up a position and use his rifle to zoom in on enemy forces, picking them off one by one with a series of well-placed shots. He can also help out his teammates in some missions by shooting out searchlights, allowing the squad to move about more freely in the cover of darkness. If you've played a marksman type character in any of the other masses of squad-based shooters on the market, you'll quickly find that there's not much to set this sniper apart from any other.

Line Traveling Circus: Japan

Skiers Will Wesson and Andy Parry travel to Japan for this new Line Traveling Circus episode.

Much like every obsessive skier or snowboarder, I watch videos from past winters to keep from going crazy in the offseason (sometimes it has the opposite effect). There's always footage of epic days and mind-blowing tricks, but more often than not, it's the segments from Japan that make me want to ski most. I always thought, there's no way a place like this could exist. It just can't be as good as it looks in the movies. After a long, hard look at personal finances, my friends and I decided we could not let another season pass without experiencing this alien world of awesomeness. We did not regret it.

Here are a handfull of reasons why you need to experience Japan some day:

1. SNOW. It's in caps for a reason, the North Island of Japan (and parts of the Main Island) get ungodly amounts of the lightest snow on earth. It snowed at some point during every day of our two-week-long trip.

2. Food. Amazing. Noodle soups, curries, sushi, and more. You'll definitely end up eating things you've never heard of from the ocean.

3. People. The most respectful and polite people I've ever met were in Japan. Smiles and kind gestures bridged the language barrier.

4. Cities. Set aside some city exploring time. There are 128 million people living in an area smaller than California.

5. Daily surprises. Knowing what's coming is boring and dull. If you can't read or speak Japanese, you're bound for spontaneous adventure.

6. Transportation. Many options, in our trip we used planes, trains, automobiles and a ferryboat.

7. Convenience. I have never seen so many vending machines in my life. Endless varieties of drinks and sometimes even hot food, all easily accessed with the push of a button.

Mixed Results

Spring Training has been a mixed bag for the Red Sox.

The good:
– Adrian Gonzalez is healthy and hit his first home run of the spring on Saturday.

– The overall health of the team including guys like Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Beckett.

– No major controversies.

The Bad:
– Although healthy, Beckett has been terrible. Dreadful. He has posted a 6.64 era but claims to feel terrific. Terrific if he is going to be a batting practice pitcher.

– Jonathan Papelbon has been equally dreadful. His 10.50 era is disturbing but if you look at the results, he has been either lights out or bad. Nothing in between. In addition, he has pitched some minor league games this spring and I’m not sure if those are factored into his 10.50 era or not.

– Many of the regulars have hit poorly in the spring. Kevin Youkilis, Carl Crawford, David Ortiz and JD Drew have paltry slugging percentages this spring. The team as a whole seemed to lack power.

Spring stats don’t mean much usually, but they do cause concern, at least to the psyche.

We are really close to opening day and the only puzzle pieces left are the middle relievers. It is coming down to Matt Albers, Dennys Reyes, Hideki Okajima and Alfredo Aceves. I think Aceves and Okajima have options left, so you might seen them get demoted and either Albers or Reyes get dealt with the other making the team.

Pitching will be the key this year, as always, but if Beckett struggles this could be a hugely disappointing season.

Legends Ranch POA Board June Meeting

I’m not going to give you an exhaustive breakdown here. I’ll just throw out my primary takeaways and thoughts. First off, our Board seems like a reasonable group. They appear sincere in trying to address resident concerns. They do seem to be a get a tad exasperated because every resident has one particular hobbyhorse they want to beat to death. Or several, depending on the resident. Me, I just went to observe and see the dynamic in person.

The first big issue is the construction entrance. A whole bunch of people point out the subdivision is not really a gated secure community with that entrance still open. Also, the deed restrictions specifically prohibit any entrance that isn’t secured. Not living near it, I don’t have a dog in that hunt except as it concerns security. Everybody by the construction entrance seems to hate it, it’s a security hole, and it’s prohibited by the deed restrictions. So, the construction entrance has got to close.

The only question is how we do that and still allow for construction equipment and heavy vehicles. Neither of the existing controlled access gates is suitable for heavy truck traffic. Mesa Valley is too narrow, and we’ve already had problems with drivers of big vehicles clipping the guardhouse. The most feasible solution seems to be widening the Easy Tag lane at the front, but that costs money. Guess what? The POA is broke.

The POA is also pursuing speed bumps, even though it appears a majority of residents don’t want them. This strikes me as bizarre, but the speed bump question was essentially tabled until executive session. I didn’t get to attend that, so I guess we’ll all see what the Board comes out with when the minutes are posted. I don’t see how the Board can justify spending money on speed bumps when we’re in violation of the covenant with an unsecured gate. However, I’m not on the Board.

The POA also has budget issues. Everybody had some suggestions for how to trim money and which services are unimportant. Unfortunately for the Board, every service someone wants cut is another resident’s favorite thing evar. My suggestion? Get rid of the security patrols by the Constables. If they can’t write tickets and are only there for 4 hours from 5-9 PM, what good are they doing the community? The only time I ever see Constable patrol cars, they’re hanging out at the Splash Pad parking lot. I guess that deters crime at the Splash Pad, but I don’t see that as an issue. Maybe I need to reread the police reports for the subdivision and I'll find out the Splash Pad is a hotbed of crime.

If everybody was paying their dues, maybe the budget wouldn’t be an issue. The number being tossed around for the dues shortfall is $330K. I don’t know if that money would completely solve the budget issues, or if there’s deeper problems. However, the economy being what it is, you can’t get blood from a stone. If residents are getting foreclosed and builders are going bankrupt, I’m pretty sure the missing money to make up the budget shortfall just ain’t there. Budget cuts seem the only way to go, but I'm sure someone will bitch about those, too.

Finally, there is the traffic petition. The county now wants a majority of resident property owners to approve the petition, which is a death knell in my opinion. That means they have to get 625 property owners to agree. According to the POA manager, they can’t even get 20% of the subdivision to pick up the windshield stickers. I’m feeling doubtful they can get the numbers. Since the county doesn’t really want to do it in the first place, the Commissioners’ Court is going to use every excuse they can to not pass it.

However, at this point, I’m baffled by the point of the petition. The county has told the POA there will be no patrols even if the petition passes. What I’m taking away is we will get the level of police protection we are willing to contract. So the traffic petition is asking all of us to have the POA pay the county so the county can give us traffic tickets. Wait, what? You want me to pay to get ticketed? That’s a resounding screw you from the back row, thanks. I’ve heard dumb ideas, and that certainly qualifies.

In any event, the meeting minutes will be out sometime in the near future. Feel free to peruse them and draw your own conclusions if you weren’t there.

So, Leisure Suit Larry who just stole the election in Iran is running around telling everybody who will listen the US is interfering in the electoral process over there. Ahmadinejad apparently doesn't pay attention to his surroundings. It's been a long time since we were any good at the subtle approach. We've pretty much given the whole coup d'etat deal away in favor of a straight up punitive expedition.

In other words, you dumb bastard, when the JDAMs are taking the building down around your ears, we're interfering. Until then, not so much.

Self Control

I'd just like to congratulate myself for managing to make it through the POA Board Meeting without using profanity or calling any of my neighbors ignorant, stupid, or otherwise genetically predisposed towards suboptimal cognition.

Out loud, anyway. My usual approach is to sit with my lovely co-blogger and take notes on my netbook. My notes are primarily a form of entertainment for me, with actual information content being secondary. A lot of my note taking is more note passing, with me typing my snide commentary and observations to J. You're not going to see the unfiltered version, as I'm already making enough new enemies in our new neighborhood. You'd think I was a rude, abrasive, unpleasant individual. Hmm.

Anyhow, it's late and I'm going to bed. Further notes on the meeting tomorrow.

Bad Presents

I stayed home from work today due to profound gastro-intestinal distress. While I was lying in bed half-asleep, the Dog V2.0 hopped on the bed and started whining softly. I opened my eyes to see him staring at me, holding something in his mouth. I fully opened my eyes and sat up to see what the hell he had in his mouth. Dog V2.0, upon seeing he had my full attention, wagged his tail vigorously, dropped his burden, and hopped off the bed.

Leaving a dead bird on the sheets.

Thanks. Way to cap off an already shitty morning, junior.

Open Letter To Fellow Residents

If you're going to go forth and place yourself out in front of everybody and try to demand change, you have to be prepared for a little blowback. Not everybody will agree with what you're trying to do, no matter how clear the case may seem to you. If you can't handle the blowback, perhaps you shouldn't be placing yourself in front of everybody. Criticism comes with the territory. If what you're trying to do is really important, you should be able to shrug off a little criticism to reach your goals. If you can't handle criticism or opposition, than either you and your fragile little psyche shouldn't be out there, or it's not really worth it to you to suffer through the process.

Furthermore, spending all your time complaining about how people treated you does nothing to advance the goal you're ostensibly working towards. To be blunt, it also makes you look like a thin-skinned whiny little bitch. Presumably you have some coping resources that don't involve putting your pity party on open display on the internet. You might try using those in private.

In short: Man up, nancy. People aren't always nice. Fucking deal with it.

Community Involvement

So, the taller and grumpier residents of YPS Manor went out to see about the concerns of our fellow neighbors and community residents here in Legends Ranch. I even took notes! So in my attempt to be more of a social creature and less of a misanthropic hermit, I'm actually going to try to be polite. It didn't work so well last time, but today's a new day.

Anyhow, a group of concerned residents are not satisfied with the POA and how it's being run and the response to their concerns. So, they all got together and decided to organize the residents to try to pressure the POA into compliance.

As a side digression, one of the problems is the current makeup of the POA. Our POA, since the subdivision is not completely built out yet, is still controlled by the developer. The developer has different goals and concerns than the actual residents. This is not, in my opinion, something susceptible to change quickly. Best option is to wait until the remaining 200+ houses are sold. Tedious, but the alternatives are time-consuming and expensive. Expensive, as we shall soon see, is an issue for the residents.

Anyhow, the concerned residents have two major issues. The first issue strikes me as legitimate, the second one far, far less so. Issue the first is the finances of our POA. Some numbers were tossed out yesterday that frankly, looking at the financial statements posted on the web, don't make any sense. I'll have to do some digging and see WTF is really going on here. However, if we are collectively ponying up over a million dollars a year to the POA, the POA had damned sure better be exercising some fiduciary responsibility. I have no problem with anyone who wants to understand the disbursement of the monies, especially with an eye to improving how the money is spent.

The next major, and to my mind illegitimate, gripe is the traffic petition. Mommy & Daddy Busybody can't keep their precious snowflakes out of the street. Polite, dammit, polite. Let me try that again.

Some of my fellow residents are concerned about the lack of traffic enforcement within the subdivision. Since the roads in the subdivision are privately owned and maintained, the county has no authority to enforce the Texas Transportation Code. Apparently, this is unacceptable to certain folks in the subdivision. So they have started a petition to allow the county to come into the subdivision and enforce the law. Anybody want to guess my position on this? Anybody?

Man, you people aren't any fun. Coming as a complete shock to all my loyal readers, I think this is the worst idea I've heard since...well, truthfully, since the n00b opened his yapper last time. Repeat along with me one of the painful lessons of history: if you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane. If the County Commissioner's Court accepts our petition, they will decide whether or not we pay for the privilege of allowing the cops in to write us tickets. If they agree, we will also never be free of the agreement. Gee, a commitment to help fund the county that we can never break and have no control over! Wow, this sounds like a spectacular idea! Umm, not so much, thanks. How about no? Does no work for everybody?

Now, maybe I missed it in amongst the comedy over at the Yahoo group, but I haven't seen anybody provide me with any statistics that justify the need for traffic enforcement. I get a lot of anecdotes about people not stopping and driving too fast. Since I doubt many of these people have radar guns, I have to question how they know how fast people are driving. Since we're apparently paying a fair sum of money to have constables sit around and not enforce the traffic laws for 4 hours every night, maybe they could gather some data on how many vehicles they see breaking the law relative to the total number of vehicles. Why not? They're apparently keeping a list of the "problem drivers" in the subdivision. If they're already doing the work, let's see the data.

Frankly, the meeting last night was not to "provide information". The meeting was to convert everybody to the positions the organizers held. The information presented was cherry picked to portray the organizers' position in the best possible light. Anyone presenting an opposing viewpoint was dismissed as "ill-informed", even when the organizers had nothing but hand waving to support their positions. All in all, I have to say we got off to a rousing start at engendering bad feelings and creating acrimony. If this is what a POA is good for, I'm glad I've missed out all these years.

Cracked has a pictorial lesson on what your tattoos mean. I notice some of mine aren't covered, either under content or location. Hmm. I guess I am a precious snowflake after all, albeit of the cute little convicted felon princess variety.

More seriously, the number of people walking around with tattoos of this isn't large, so it's not liable to come up much.

Nice thoughts, Cold Realities

So I got this e-mail from one of Newt Gingrich's blast deals that contained the following words:

America has been here before.

1964, 1977 and 1993 - in each of these years Republicans were gleefully pronounced dead by the news media. But in each case, they came back.

1964 was followed by 1965, in which
Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California.

Two years later we began a 40-year period in which no overt liberal won the presidency.

In 1977, Jimmy Carter's popularity on inauguration day was higher than Barack Obama's.

But in 1980, Ronald Reagan won a
decisive victory and changed the course of America.

In 1993, they said Bill Clinton was creating a new, stronger Democratic Party.

In 1994, the
Democratic Party suffered its worst defeat in 40 years.

So don't tell me it can't be done.

Kind of uplifting, and I think a lot of people will be surprised in a couple of years, if they haven't already usurped our right to vote by then. Unfortunately, I think if we're counting on this crop of Republicans to get us there, we're in big trouble. I think it is time for something new, but I don't necessarily think I'm the one smart enough to know exactly what that should be.

More Chicanery

Tim Cavanaugh, fresh off his win at the L.A. Press Club Awards, is on fire today when discussing the idiocy being promoted by Timmy the Tax Cheat and Larry Summers. More regulation will make everything all better! Yeah, not so much. But I'll let Mr. Cavanaugh savage the stupid:
This is horse pucky. The crisis in confidence and trust is the cure, not the disease. Banks are not lending because there are are too many bad risks out there. People aren't getting loans because they can't establish their creditworthiness. And the reason for that isn't some baloney about mass psychology or people needing to be protected from themselves. It's because about 20 percent of Americans have demonstrated that they must never be loaned money on any terms.
I know the people he's discussing. I have seen the failure of risk management in the lending industry up close. Somebody has never pointed out to the banks an 18% loan interest rate is great for cash flow, but it doesn't mean shit if the borrowers don't have the money to pay you back. Or, more accurately, the borrowers will mismanage their financial affairs to the point that you are one of several competing entities trying to get $15K a month out of a guy who only makes $5K a month. It just doesn't work.

Plus, let's be honest about the impact on the financial industry:
it will succeed in regulation's oldest, truest goal of propping up existing players and creating new barriers to entry for anybody who might challenge them. Rest assured that Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase will make noise about how the new liquidity, reserve and reporting requirements are tough, challenging and a step in the right direction. Editorial boards will swoon that "even industry leaders agree" on the need for the new regs. Things will look a little different if you're not either owned by or on a first-name basis with the secretary of the Treasury.
Plus, it will do absolutely nothing to prevent the next meltdown. The law of unintended consequences being what it is, we'll have a failure of the exact same systems brought on in large part by the shiny new regulations designed to prevent a failure. I mean, it's not like we haven't been watching the same scenario play out over the past year.

Mad Science

Theo Gray has a great essay up on the dangers we willingly accept for our children and the dangers we don't. Of course, in future years, I imagine the subset of parents who are unwilling to have their children take any risk will get larger. Being somewhat risk-prone, (or as it was once described, being "prone to be where accidents are prone to happen"), I don't have a whole lot of use for the safety-first mindset that is silently creeping throughout our culture. I especially don't have any use for it when it's going to have disastrous long-term consequences, as Mr. Gray points out.

By removing all risk, you end up with a class of people who are unable to judge risk and are therefore incapable of dealing with it. Fine when you need accountants and actuaries, I suppose, but less so when you want people to push forward the frontiers of human endeavor.

Anyhow, he also wrote a book. You might buy it, especially if you have children and you'd like to do some science with them.

Proving Negatives

I'm curious as to a line of thinking someone espoused today about the economy. Apparently, things in our economy were so dire and so perilous Barack Obama and his enablers in Congress and elsewhere had to act. Stimulus had to be made! GM and Chrysler had to be saved! Otherwise, the economy would be much worse than they are now.

I'm now going to note an argument made several weeks ago by Dick Cheney about the use of enhanced interrogation techniques. Basically, he said if the US hadn't used enhanced interrogation techniques terrorist activity would have been much worse.

If the first argument about the economy is valid, isn't the second argument about terrorism also valid? So either both of these arguments are valid or they aren't if you're going to be logically consistent. I realize logical consistency isn't important to some, but many of us use it as a yardstick for whether or not you're arguing in good faith or you're just a pathetic hack.

You also need to consider if either argument is ever falsifiable in any meaningful sense. Leaving aside the internal consistency of your position, it seems that an argument for public policy or government action isn't flasifiable, then it's not a particularly strong argument. So if you're asking everybody to go along with a lot of potentially very bad ideas, you might want to have something a little bit stronger to make your point.

Or, judging by the American electorate, you might not.

A Little Light Lunchtime Reading...

Apparently, Teh Barackulous' transition rejected a proposal from the Bush folks to publicly join forces in setting tough conditions on GM and Chrysler in return for money to "survive". Not that I agree with or endorse any of this mess, but it should put to rest the kvetching by his majesty's minions that they unknowingly inherited this mess.

Kwame Kilpatrick, former mayor of Detroit and convicted felon, is getting some new and improved subsidized housing. What I want to know is how do these guys find people who are willing to give them these high paying lucrative jobs and pay for their housing without providing sexual favors or anything else in return? I am in the wrong business.

Thomas Sowell discusses the varieties and ramifications of doing nothing. Kind of an interesting analysis.

Apparently there's a firestorm surrounding some ignunt filming drunk kids doing what they do: shooting off at the mouth. This time they’re in Jerusalem and they're talking about Obama. I think the biggest problem here is that journalists are pissed that these kids are talking trash about their holy messiah.

SCOTUS blocks the Auto-Rama

My initial thought: it is about time. Ruthie's going to get her 4 justices, and I hope it is the precise 4 that Teh Barackulous and his merry band of socialist flying monkeys doesn't want. I am feeling optimistic that there are 4 members of the high court who may jump on board just for the opportunity to strike down this, maybe TARP...and potentially all of this unconstitutional government intervention. Hey, maybe there's some hope & change for me after all.

One can only try to look for a bright spot, right? Needless to say, there are so many potential outcomes and ramifications here...and the Supreme Court could just be the ones to save us all.

Back many years ago, when I was but a lower-case t, the usual advice regarding water consumption was to drink enough water so that your piss is clear. As we get further into the summer, this is still good advice. Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.

On the same note, drinking beer, champagne, and Jack Daniels until the resulting effluvia is clear is not going to help you in the morning with respect to dehydration.

Buy Independent

So, I think I can cross off GM and Chrysler from my list of possible new vehicle choices. I'm already helping to prop up these failures with my tax dollars. Why should I give them any more money? Oh, yeah, I'll get a car out of it, right? At least, until the government decides warranty service is too expensive. That'll never happen, though, because we all know GM is turning out such a quality product these days.

Yeah, I think my dream of a new Camaro just died an ugly death at the hands of the government. Looks like I'll be getting a new truck instead, since I can buy one from somebody who is siphoning money out of my wallet already.
