Group finds new method for identifying most aggressive childhood cancers

A research group has found a new way to identify the most malignant tumors in children. The method involves studying genetic micro-variation, rather than the presence of individual mutations.

In adult cancers, the tumor cells are more genetically variable than healthy cells. When a cancerous cell divides, the chromosomes often end up in the wrong place, or break and combine in incorrect ways. However, whether this is also the case in childhood cancers, and whether variability in the tumor DNA is linked to the severity of the cancer, has been unclear.

"We have now been able to confirm that both of these are the case. Tumors in children are also genetically unstable, and the greater the variation between the cells, the more malignant the cancer," said David Gisselsson Nord, MD, PhD, a researcher in clinical genetics at Lund University in Sweden.

The study was published in Nature Communications (2015; doi:10.1038/ncomms7125).

Gisselsson Nord and his colleagues Linda Holmqvist Mengelbier, PhD, and Jenny Karlsson studied 44 cases of Wilms' tumor, the most common type of kidney cancer in children. All 44 patients had been treated with chemotherapy and most recovered, but a few developed metastases and died. The latter patients were those whose cancers demonstrated the greatest variation between cells.

The study explains why, for many forms of childhood cancer, it has been difficult to predict which patients have the highest risk of cancer recurrence. Despite much searching, very few markers have been found in childhood kidney cancer that can differentiate between aggressive and less dangerous cancers.

"The reason for this is that researchers have been looking for certain characteristics, such as mutations, in a single sample from each patient. However, when there is so much variation between the cells, one sample is not enough to determine the properties of the tumor," said Gisselsson Nord.

Thankfully for patients, taking many samples from each tumor is not the only solution. The present study shows that it is sufficient to study micro-variation (the degree of genetic variation between the cells) within a millimeter-sized sample. This type of genetic variation appears to form a foundation for the larger changes that in the long run cause the cancer to return and spread.

"The micro-variation is a much better predictor of the risk of metastasis and death than the presence of individual mutations. This is an entirely new way of assessing how dangerous a tumor is," explained Gisselsson Nord.

The researchers now hope to move on to a larger study of all new cases of kidney cancer in children in Europe over the next 5 years. If the results bear out, the degree of genetic variation in tumor cells could become the marker used to determine the strength of treatment required to save the child's life.

Maybe There Is Hope For The Youth

This is an email I received from the Patriot Post. It is from a 2008 Obama supporter. Maybe there is hope for the youth of America after all. Then again, maybe they are suddenly realizing they are going to have to pay the bill…

I am sick and tired of politics!

Over the last couple of years, there has been a lot of tension over politics, and that division has intruded into my relationship with family and friends — particularly now with the upcoming election.

In 2008, I voted for Obama. That was my right — I am a good person and I voted for him for good reasons. But that decision has created stress between some of us, and that has been hurtful. Yes, sometimes I have thrown Obama in your face and I am sorry about that — I truly am.

Here is the thing. I don’t think you are stupid because you voted for McCain in ’08, and I’m not stupid because I voted for Barack Obama. We both want our country to go in the right direction, but we just have a difference of opinion as to what that direction is, and I’m entitled to my opinion.

I didn’t vote for Obama because of all the “hope and change” stuff. I voted for him because I could relate to him on so many levels and I trusted him. If this guy were my neighbor, I would give him the key to my house. I admire the fact that from his very difficult childhood and struggles rose a candidate for president of the Untied States — and an African-American with an unusual name!

I could relate to his desire to help people who most need it, to help the poor and elderly, children without medical care, and women in need. It seems like Republicans want to cut the important things people need most, and help the rich get richer. I feel like Republicans think Obama supporters are stupid.

I was excited that Obama was going to end the policies of George Bush. I have to tell you, I really didn’t like George Bush, and though I still feel that way about him, after four years it’s not as clear to me why.

But Obama against McCain, that was easy. Obama is more like me, energetic, young, loves his family.

I got a glimpse of the Obama motorcade on arrival for the debates here in Denver, and that was cool — though it held up a lot of traffic, which was not cool.

I watched this year’s first presidential debate closely and was disappointed in Obama. I found him depressing.

However, the Barack Obama I saw in the second debate the other night is the Obama I voted for in ’08!

He was “hitting on all cylinders” as Dad would say … but he wouldn’t about Obama, would he. ;-)

I woke up Wednesday morning feeling invigorated. I had a chance to talk about the debate with friends, and some agreed with me. That was “the real Obama” seemed to be the consensus, but my two best friends didn’t share my enthusiasm.

Later in the day, I ran into some friends who agreed that Obama won the debate — but they had some harsh criticism. One of my colleagues at the University said to me that she felt betrayed, like she had been tricked into voting for Obama the first time. A guy friend was much more callous, saying that he was now convinced that Obama was a phony and a liar.

These two people were Obama’s biggest fans in ’08. Did they watch the same debate I watched Tuesday?

Last night I had the uneasy feeling that something wasn’t right, something was out of place. After all the good vibes with the debate, I now find myself wondering if Obama was sincere, or if what I heard was just talk aimed at “emotional women,” like I’m not smart enough to vote on what I think rather than how I feel.

And the more I think about all his comments Tuesday night, against the backdrop of the reality that things have gotten much worse in the last four years, not better as he seemed to claim, I’m not sure I trust Obama anymore. I’m more concerned now than I was in ’08.

I think that Obama is still a good person and he wanted to do good things, but I’m bothered by the fact that he didn’t take responsibility for where our economy is now. That troubles me the most. It seems like he hasn’t grown into the job and hasn’t done much of anything he said he would do, and he’s still blaming George Bush. Meanwhile, the number of unemployed citizens and poor families has grown a lot.

So why am I writing you?

I know Mitt Romney is a genuine person who really does love his family, who really does care about people from all walks of life. Part of me doesn’t like the fact that part of me likes Romney! I am conflicted. I’m not writing to say that I am voting for Romney, but I have decided not to vote for Obama.

Don’t tell Dad or I’ll never hear the end of it!

Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
Big Dog

    Karen, everyone does things that seem right at the time. As Kid Rock said, ” I am proud that we elected our first Black president- I just wish he had done a better job, I really do>” , and that pretty much sums it up for many of us who first listened to him- after all , Obama IS a good speaker, I think all will admit.
    But when reality comes calling, the person who leads the greatest country in the world had better have more than words to use, and he didn’t.
    I make no bones about my feelings for that man- I listened hard to the meaning behind those ambiguous words and phrases- like you, I had been a bit disappointed in Bush, towards the end, even as I knew that it was the Democrat majority that came into office in 2006 that was a part of the problem also. But it was Obama’s actions to consolidate his agenda that bothered me the most- in his Inaugural Address, he promised that jobs were his top priority, and yet they weren’t- in his second year, as we were sliding down, he said he would “focus like a laser on jobs”, yet he did not- in his third year, once again he said he was concentrating on jobs, but he must have meant those of his campaign workers, because those were the only jobs he created this year.
    So there you have it- he talks the talk, but down here in Texas, you have to walk the walk also if you want to be respected, and he has not.
    Winston Churchill once said, ” If you are twenty and you are not a liberal, you have no heart, if you are forty and are not conservative, you have no brains.”
    Most young people are idealistic- that’s not a bad thing, but life has a way of pointing out fact from fiction, and tempering our most idealistic urges into something akin to reality- not all, mind you, or we would never change for the better, but life does have a way of showing you what is truly the best solution to almost any problem, and God will show you the rest.

Modi demonstrated Indian leadership on climate change: White House

Subscribe to Oneindia News

Washington, Jun 7: Notwithstanding a "difficult political" climate in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi "demonstrated" the country's leadership on the issue of climate change, the White House has said ahead of his crucial meeting with US President Barack Obama.

During his Oval Office meeting with Modi today, Obama is expected to discuss the economic ties along with national security, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said yesterday. Earnest, however, did not divulge on the possible outcome of the meeting.

PM Narendra Modi

"I don't have anything to say about potential deliverables yet. We may have more on this tomorrow, obviously. I can tell you that there are a couple of things that the President is interested in discussing the Prime Minister Modi," he said.

"The first is obviously the important role that India played in completing an international climate change agreement. We discussed back in December in Paris that India was going to play an important role in making important commitments to this agreement that would ensure that the world came together to confront this challenge," the presidential spokesman said.

Obama had an opportunity to meet Modi and the rest of the Indian delegation to those negotiations, to talk over what role India could play and what commitments India could make.

"Obviously, this is a situation where Prime Minister Modi demonstrated a lot of leadership even in the face of a difficult political climate back home. He committed his country to standards that will be good for the Indian people, but more importantly, will be good for the rest of the world, too," Earnest said.

"So obviously, the President has a lot of respect for the way that Prime Minister Modi has handled this issue. And I would anticipate that they'll have a discussion about what more the US and India can do to advance the climate agenda," he said.

"I would expect the US and India to discuss the economic ties between our two countries. The economic relationship between the two countries is an important one. It is a relationship that benefits both our citizens. So I would anticipate a discussion of some economic issues," he said while previewing the seventh meeting between the two leaders.

"There obviously are some important national security issues as well. We have seen in recent years greater and closer coordination between US national security officials and Indian national security officials.

"The president is certainly interested in trying to deepen and strengthen those ties because it would enhance the national security of both our countries," he said, adding that the two leaders have got a pretty full agenda.

Responding to a question, Earnest said the US is unlikely to request India to ratify the climate change agreement by the end of the year.

"What I don't know is the process that India has to go through in order to ratify the agreement. So I don't know whether or not the President will be making that specific request," he said.

"But the role that India has played thus far in helping the international committee come to an agreement has been significant, and we obviously would expect India moving forward to continue to play an important role in the international community in making progress, even beyond the agreement that was signed, or that was reached back in December," Earnest said.

Top contests of 2014: Varun Gandhi vs Amita Singh vs others

Subscribe to Oneindia News

Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 5: The BJP is eyeing to wrest back Sultanpur constituency after a long gap of 16 years. The party has fielded Varun Gandhi, the sitting MP from Philibit which has gone to his mother Maneka Gandhi, from this seat against Congress's Amita Singh and BSP's Pawan Pandey. There are in all 15 candidates contesting from this seat.

[Top contests of 2014]

2009 results: Congress's Sanjay Singh defeated BSP's Mohd Tahir by 98,779 votes (difference in vote-share was 14%).

Sultanpur will go to the election on May 7.

About Varun Gandhi (BJP)

Varun, 34, a member of India's first political family, joined the BJP in 2004 and became the youngest general secretary of the party in June 2013. The son of late Congress leader Sanjay Gandhi, Varun had won from Philibit constituency by a whopping 2.8 lakh votes and was shifted to Sultanpur this time to throw a challenge to the Congress, which had won it between 1952 and 1984 and again in 2009.

The BJP is banking on Gandhi-Modi combination to pull off a win in Sultanpur

Varun Gandhi, who was credited as the only MP to have used cent per cent of the MPLAD funds for development, was brought to fight from Sultanpur mainly to connect to the youth and also rake up the sentimental attachment that his father once had with this place.

"Sultanpur me chali andhi, Varun Gandhi..Varun Gandhi", the thunderous sloganeering in the constituency by the young BJP supporters when Varun Gandhi came here for campaigning in February this year indicates at the mood there.

About Amita Singh (Congress)

Amita Singh, known as Raani Sahiba, was nominated from this constituency after his husband and the sitting MP, Dr Sanjay Singh, was nominated to the Rajya Sabha a few months ago. It will be an immense challenge for Amita Singh for local forces like the SP and BSP have also fielded strong candidates who are campaigning with full intensity. The Congress had lost all the assembly segments of Sultanpur in the 2012 state elections, something which will add more the Congress's woes.

About Pawan Pandey (BSP)

Pawan Pandey, 38, a former Shiv Sena leader, is a Brahmin leader accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case and has 32 criminal cases against them, including charges of murder, attempt to murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, etc.

About Shakeel Ahmed (SP)

The SP hasn't let Sultanpur go like it did in case of the adjacent seats of Amethi and Rae Bareli and its candidate Shakeel Ahmed, 48, a tyre and petroleum-product treader by profession, is eyeing Muslim votes.

Sultanpur presents an interesting situation. While the BJP is banking on the Gandhi-Modi combination to win this seat back (it had won this seat thrice between 1991 and 1998), the Congress and SP are eyeing a slice each in the Muslim vote-bank and the BSP is believing that the Dalit-Brahmin combination will work in its favour (Sultanpur has a sizeable Dalit population while the BSP candidate is a Brahmin). The Congress is also hoping that the loyalty factor of the Raja Saheb works in favour of the Raani Saheba.

‘American Jobs Act’ Not Enough For Economic Recovery

Unemployment graph
Source: Calculated Risk

Here’s the situation: Recovery from Bush’s Great Recession has been very slow and painful. America’s unemployment rate is stuck at 9.1% and almost 14 million Americans are unemployed. The alternate measure of unemployment (U-6) is at 16.2%, with 6 million workers unemployed for more than 6 months. There are 6.9 million fewer payroll jobs than at the beginning of the recession in 2007.

Tonight, President Obama will unveil “The American Jobs Act,” which consists primarily of extending the current payroll tax cuts, unemployment insurance, and tax breaks for business. Only about $100-$200 billion of the proposal goes beyond the status quo. Assuming the Republicans agree to this bill, it might be enough to narrowly avoid a double-dip recession. But there is no way Obama’s plan is going to fix the 6.9 million jobs deficit in time for the next election.

Will the emergency jobs bill introduced by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) get a mention tonight? Don’t bet on it. Only a Democrat would propose something like that.

The Bush-Obama Tax Cuts For The Rich are causing an ongoing a budget crisis that Obama wants to solve by cutting Social Security and Medicare. The SuperCongress is meeting right now to plan these cuts. Why is this administration pushing Republican policies?

Scarecrow on FDL:

We don’t need, and the country cannot survive, two Tea Parties or two wings of the Corporate Party. The age we live in demands just the opposite of the austerity delusions the Democratic leaders and the President have ignorantly, recklessly embraced. And come 2012, voters will have every reason to show them all what the phrase “you’re fired” means.

A commenter adds:

At least one choice is becoming more clear. If we’re going to get Republican policies straight down the line it’s far better to have the results labelled Republican. The lesser evil argument really is falling away. Maybe there will be something to build out of the rubble. Maybe not.

From another comment:

If America is going to fail based on these policies, let them be correctly named: GOP, conservative, teabagger. The best way for that to happen is to have a GOP president who’s elected under their banner, not the Democrats’.

UPDATE: From the advance text of the President’s speech tonight. He actually thinks that proposing Republican policies is a good thing.

“I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It’s called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans – including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything.”

UPDATE: Robert Reich:

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell scoffs “This isn’t a job plan. It’s a reelection plan.” That’s precisely the problem. McConnell and company have stated publicly that their number-one objective is to unseat Obama and regain the presidency in 2012. They don’t want to give the President anything he could possibly claim as a victory. And they’re not terribly worried if the economy stays awful through Election Day because that’s the best way to fulfill their number-one objective.

UPDATE: Obama is Coming to Cut Medicare

  1. #1 by james farmer on September 8, 2011 - 5:39 pm

    It may not be enough, but Obama is making a lot of rethuglican congress critters squirm in their seats.

    One of Obama’s classic speeches; it just may get him reelected.

  2. #2 by brewski on September 8, 2011 - 5:45 pm

    Obama agrees with me on tax reform? He must be wrong.

  3. #3 by Richard Warnick on September 8, 2011 - 6:20 pm

    Any domestic policy President Obama wants will be bitterly opposed by every last Republican. Maybe Obama should propose extending the tax cuts for the rich next year, permanent elimination of the corporate income tax, etc.

  4. #4 by cav on September 8, 2011 - 9:00 pm

    Mellow down everybody, we all know any effective jobs program must be processed by that sub-human piece of excrement Mitch McConnell.

    Ooops, a partisan statement if ever one slipped my keyboard.

  5. #5 by cav on September 9, 2011 - 8:25 am

    “Did he announce a 100% tax on products made outside the US, abrogation of NAFTA and CAFTA, moratorium on all immigration until unemployment drops to 4%, closing foreign military bases and cutting aid to Israel, Egypt and Pakistan? Did he say we were through with our foreign military adventures and was calling our troops back from Afghanistan and Iraq?

    If the $150 billion stimulus package of George W. Bush in early 2008, plus the $700 billion stimulus of Barack Obama did not do the job, why would this latter-day Goldilocks proposal do the trick?

  6. #6 by Richard Warnick on September 9, 2011 - 8:46 am

    It’s painfully obvious that the extension of existing tax cuts won’t boost the economy. We need to create jobs by hiring people to work. What we don’t need are more budget cuts, especially cuts to the social safety net.

  7. #7 by cav on September 9, 2011 - 9:00 am

    What a difference social democracy makes.

    As unemployment lines shorten and the population shrinks, industrial companies face a skilled labor shortage that may restrain growth.

    German unemployment fell to an 18- year low in January, stoking concerns that the world’s second- largest exporter is running short of skilled labor after the fastest economic expansion since reunification in 1990.

    The number of people out of work declined a seasonally adjusted 13,000 to 3.135 million, the lowest since November 1992, the Nuremberg-based Federal Labor Agency said today. Economists forecast a drop of 10,000, according to the median of 32 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. The adjusted jobless rate fell to 7.4 percent from 7.5 percent.

  8. #8 by cav on September 9, 2011 - 9:47 am

  9. #9 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 9, 2011 - 9:58 am

    “Obama agrees with me on tax reform? He must be wrong.”

    We have yet to see what he means by “reform”. Or if this is more wish washy let congress figure it out(even know its ran by nihilistic idiots atm).

    Personally I don’t think this will go anywhere anyway and is just being proposed now to setup the optics for the upcoming election.

  10. #10 by brewski on September 9, 2011 - 10:24 am

    He said close loopholes and lower rates. It isn’t as complete as I would go, but it is in the right direction.

  11. #11 by cav on September 9, 2011 - 11:17 am

    ‘Optics’ = slam a shot!

  12. #12 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 9, 2011 - 12:17 pm

    Depends on what loopholes and whether or not the different from the lower rate actually generates any revenue(this would be against the Groover Norquist suicide pact err I mean no taxes pledge).

    Recklessly ending certain tax expenditures without policy to replace the function of those “deductions/credits” in many area’s would be very damaging to your average American. Especially sense I haven’t seen anything from congress that would make me believe that they will leave the system alone after the next election. It will be like when Reagan tried it, congress will reinstall all of the crap 6months down the road when all of the campaign funders complain about it.

  13. #13 by brewski on September 9, 2011 - 12:55 pm

    Huntsman said his plan is revenue neutral. Obama put a number on his plan. Any plan needs to be number crunched to figure out all of the effects. This is pretty hard to do since there are static effects and dynamic effects. The dynamic effects could be hard to quantify and also longer term in nature.

    My plan exchanges deductions and exemptions, as well as taxing all income and not just some income, for a large 0% bracket amount.

    But I can still hear people whining about “losing” their home mortgage interest deduction when in fact with a large 0% bracket they may not be paying any tax at all.

    Also, you give more credit to the “policy” behind all the tax expenditures. For the most part the “policies” are to get contributions from the Mortage Bankers Association and the Life Insurance Lobby, and the AMA and then package them to suckers telling them that they are all for noble purposes.

    There is a very simple answer to your tired refrain that Congress will just put all the loopholes back in; veto.

    $450 billion in 2007 for the health care related deductions, $106 billion in 2007 for 401k related deductions.

    The mortgage deduction could be converted to a credit and phased out over time, Fannie and Freddi are likely enough to promote responsible home ownership(as they deal with 15 and 30 year fixed rate loans).

    But the health care deductions would have to have a policy replacement, It is silly to think otherwise.

    Also how in your magical plan do businesses deal with loses?, right now those are a deduction(I won’t agru that their corrupt as hell, as they are) The point stands simply ending them would be reckless.

    The huntsman plan would be a giant increase in taxes for most people, Generally most of these tax simplification plans end up taxing the lower income levels higher then they currently are. And most of the plans don’t address issues that allow upper income payers to hide much of their income(huntsman would end capital gains taxes for example, making the issue much worse) .

  15. #15 by brewski on September 9, 2011 - 3:55 pm

    Most of the $450 billion for health care is not for deductions per se, but the revenue that is lost due to the special treatment for employer provided insurance. Under my plan the wealthy would pay taxes on this income and the middle and lower classes would not. So my plan is a tax increase on the wealthy.

    For the 401k deduction, my plan would allow middle and lower income people to contribute to their savings plans tax free, but the wealthy would not.

    I am sorry you don’t understand the arithmetic of how taxes work. My plan would lower taxes dramatically on all middle and low income people.

  16. #16 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 9, 2011 - 6:51 pm

    $150 billion of that $450 billion is from individual write off’s, most of those people will be in the 15%-20% brackets mean that the real spending behind that deduction is 5times higher, and the employer side of the deduction most I would think are in the top bracket of 35% meaning the real spending behind that deduction is 3times higher.

    Their is a very long list of employers that without the deduction would simply drop coverage entirely. And without some sort of real alternative is just going to push a lot of people our of the insurance system.

    And the 401k deductions are mostly employer related, employers simply wouldn’t offer a plan in many cases without the deduction. And while moving away from employer based plans would be a good thing, that is a policy position that has to be put in place before or at the same time as removing tat deduction.

    The entire problem with your proposal is that as broken as our tax system is, the loop holes still do things, without reasonable policy to replace the tax code based social services system that is incompetently ran by private corporations leaving us with the most expensive health care in the world by double while at the same time leaving us in 37th place behind former soviet block euro nations. It is ignorant to think that without encouragement that private corporations will ever make the “right” choice by their workers, and even more ignorant to think the middle class is in any position to fund these things themselves without encouragement of their employers to leverage the buying power of large groups. A guy making 40k a year simply has no leverage to negotiate good health care rates or on average the knowledge required for investment needed for retirement by himself, however a company with couple 100 guys making 40k a year is in a position to negotiate better rates in both cases.

    And the arithmetic is real simple, (health costs per year) – (savings from group coverage due to employer deduction) – (savings from individual deduction) – (employer covered cost) == (employee cost),

    Last year my dad wrote off $7k for health insurance and misc other health expenses,(from his $700month plan with $3k deductible). I can image his work is writing off a similar amount, without these deductions, even with a large 0% bracket the encouragement for the employer to be involved will be gone and they will become unaffordable. Before these things can be cut we need policy to replace their function.

  17. #17 by brewski on September 10, 2011 - 11:42 am

    You clearly don’t understand tax law or my plan.

  18. #18 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 10, 2011 - 12:13 pm

    “but the revenue that is lost due to the special treatment for employer provided insurance.”

    Because we allow employers to deduct paid benefits in the same way they are allowed to deduct salaries. However their are health care specific deductions as well, And their is nothing fancy pants about the $150 billion in lost revenue from deductions taken on individual health care costs, those are pretty simple deductions that allow individuals to write off their premiums and any out of pocket costs.

    I understand tax law more then well enough to understand these points.

    You seem to not understand cause and effect, we have an employer based health care insurance system, any policy that damages this without a reciprocating policy is just plain stupid.

    All these Euro nations which have better tax systems that you point out all of the time, also in fact have in place the needed policy to support their needed social/industrial programs outside of their tax system. Simply put we don’t, right now all of our social and industrial policy is drive by our tax code. deductions that encourage corporations to be involved in order to use their buying power to obtain these benefits as no individual has the leverage to obtain good rates.

    You want your tax system fine, pass single payer health care, a national pension plan(via expanding SS), a program for promoting the expansion of our industries(1 time grants instead of tax breaks like Europe does), etc and so forth.

  19. #19 by brewski on September 10, 2011 - 11:01 pm

    Because we allow employers to deduct paid benefits in the same way they are allowed to deduct salaries.

    That is not special treatment. That is called calling an expense an expense. So GAAP accounting and tax accounting is the same, as it should be. The special treatment of employer provided health insurance is that it is in-kind income to the employee, but the health insurance lobbyists and the unions which have the most generous health insurance plans have kept that income tax free to the employee. That is the special treatment and that is where the revenue is lost. It this was made to be taxable and then the 0% bracket was increased, there would be no additional tax incurred by lower income workers, but it would be a tax increase on the wealthy.

    Also, if low income people were paying no income tax at all due to the large 0% bracket, then they would not be losing one penny if the itemized deduction for medical expenses was removed.

    So, no, you don’t understand tax law at all.

  20. #20 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 11, 2011 - 4:15 am

    “Also, if low income people were paying no income tax at all due to the large 0% bracket, then they would not be losing one penny if the itemized deduction for medical expenses was removed. “

    Yes we all already know you want to have the same broken tax system Ireland does.

    “but it would be a tax increase on the wealthy.”

    No it would remove the employers encouragement to use their buying power to leverage savings for their employees. Without a policy replacement this would be a disaster. tossing another 50 million Americans off of their insurance by removing their employers group coverage savings and the system would collapse. The increase in rates from the amount of uncompensated care costs being shifted onto private insurance would be astronomical.

    Individuals simply don’t have the leverage to get good rates, and you can’t get around that. The individual market is a joke costing more then group plans often by double.

    deductions do things as much as you want to hide from that, their are area’s where we HAVE to have replacement policy before we can do down the route of a “fairer” tax system.

    Without a policy replacement this would be a disaster. tossing another 50 million Americans off of their insurance by removing their employers group coverage savings and the system would collapse. The increase in rates from the amount of uncompensated care costs being shifted onto private insurance would be astronomical.

    Since ObamaCare requires companies to provide health insurance to their employees, then isn’t this “policy replacement” already done? So what are you bitching about? The whole premise of ObamaCare is that everyone will be covered by their employers or by their mandated policies purchases via the “exchanges” so there will be no uncompensated care at all, and all of our premiums will go down by $2500 per year. James ‘racist’ Farmer keeps insisting this will happen in 2014.

  26. #26 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 11, 2011 - 8:09 pm

    Obamacare is hardly a policy replacement, its got a few good things in it, but overall it is designed to supplement the current tax encouragement system not replace it.

    The employer mandate is a $2,000 fine, Not a hard choice for along of employers if they lose their other tax goodies related to health care. Also the small business health care tax goodies put in place by Obamacare come in the form of a 50% credit(you know a loophole).

    The exchanges are only open to those without an employer option or where the employer option is considered “unaffordable”, And sadly this is based on the monthly premium of the plan and not take into account the amortized benefit of the plan,(aka any junk mega deductible plan is enough).

  27. #27 by brewski on September 11, 2011 - 8:57 pm

    That rocket scientist James Farmer said that ObamaCare will save each of us $2500. And he is never wrong. He promised!!!

  28. #28 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 11, 2011 - 11:17 pm

    Obamacare certainly will help, but its still built around the employer based health insurance system. Good chunk of Obamacare is merely the use of tax policy to achieve the desired outcomes, tho the grant programs for hospital efficiency are already helping clearly showing that one time grants can be very good use of policy(CBO shows that as pushing down the cost of medicare already),

  29. #29 by brewski on September 12, 2011 - 9:30 am

    I am totally against having healthcare tied to one’s employer. It makes no sense at all. As you know, the history of this connection goes back to WWII when the government barred employers from attracting employees on with higher wages, so employees threw non-wage benefits at them. Then after WWII the insurance lobby got Congress to make those benefits tax free, which ended up enshrining them. So as usual, the unintended consequences of government intervention and regulation gave us outcomes which are suboptimal.

    And this is the same government you want to craft some wise forward looking industrial policy?

  30. #30 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 12, 2011 - 9:53 am

    I keep telling you single payer is the best policy replacement. And yes employer based health insurance sucks, but its how it works atm making everyone pay much higher rates on the individual market through reckless abandonment without replacement policy would be a disaster.

    “And this is the same government you want to craft some wise forward looking industrial policy?”

    The rest of the world is kicking our collective asses because we we do this area so poorly. We badly need to dump the tax system games and move to a one time grant system like most other Nations run. It’s cheaper and in reality businesses are more interested mitigated capital investment liabilities then marginal differences in the tax rate.

    It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it has to be their. The alternative is watching foreign nations sovereign wealth funds, and better outlook on industrial policy play the “freemarket” by rules they define themselves and beat the crap out of us while we plug our ears believing the invisible hand will someday give them the spanking they so deserve(of course this never happens) .

  34. #34 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 12, 2011 - 4:37 pm

    Brewski, It’s the ability for a bank to detach itself from the liability a mortgage(or any loan for that matter) that created the environment that allowed bad mortgage loans.

    If that consumer bank can’t create CDO derivatives to sell on the open market and then sell CDS’s betting that the mortgages will fail then banks will be more careful about who they lend to.

    All of the derivatives and other nonsense created to separate the banks from the liability of the very loans they created is what created the problem, Then low rates and unlimited leverage provided by a supply side ideologue running the fed push everything from stupid to plain destructive.

  35. #35 by brewski on September 13, 2011 - 9:07 am

    You forgot to mention deposit insurance where no one is responsible for lending money to instituions who make risky decisions. That is the same phenomenon as your describe in #34.

  36. #36 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 13, 2011 - 3:05 pm

    The banks have shown the ability to gamble and cause massive loses with both insured and uninsured money. And really executives are using other peoples money either way anyway what do they have to lose from the difference in loses between say a 401k and a savings account?

    You speak as though you had the expectation that their was some sort of liability difference between loses in FDIC insured accounts and other non-insured “investments” that are managed by the executive staff of a bank. Hate to tell you no, their is no difference in liability, both situations leaves the poor abused executive staff with millions in executive pay that are outside the reach of any consequences.

    The reality is that the organisers of the corporation that is a bank are not the depositors that fill that bank with assets, This is a situation where they will personally benefit from pump and dump tactics and access to information is sufficiently difficult for even the well educated to understand that enforcing “fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders” becomes difficult. And further because of the source of a banks deposits are not necessary the same as that banks shareholders you have a second conflict of interest inherit in the structure of a banking corporation as well.

  37. #37 by brewski on September 14, 2011 - 9:35 am

    You missed my point. It isn’t that the bankers behave differently with insured funds or uninsured funds. The point is that depositors don’t care what bankers do since their deposits are insured. The moral hazard problem is with the depositor, not with the banker.

    Right now my bank has a sticker on the door telling me that I will get all my money back no matter how stupid the management of the bank is. So what do I care who I lend my money to?

    But if the bank’s were required to have a huge sticker on the door which read “BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU DEPOSIT YOUR MONEY SINCE IF THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS BANK MAKES BAD DECISIONS YOU COULD LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY”.

    That would cause depositors to act quite differently. In fact, if you look at bank advertisements from the 1800’s (before both deposit insurance and before the Fed), banks would advertise their capital amount, strength and prudence.

    So if depositors cared about what banks did with their money then banks would need to attract depositors by demonstrating their prudence. Right now all bankers do to get deposits is to talk about how their tellers smile a lot.

  38. #38 by Ronald D. Hunt on September 14, 2011 - 2:30 pm

    Traditional FDIC insured savings accounts where supposed to be only be used for safe lending, and it worked from 1935 until 1982. And its not that banks worked better before the FDIC was created, far from it scams where the norm, people didn’t put money into savings they would put it under their mattress.

    People simply don’t have access to the needed information, or often enough the understanding needed to tell the difference between a good bank and a bad bank in the modern world. Management changes, changes in the market, the day to day scale of changes in the world is not something that any person can be expected to keep track of for the change you desire.

    Insured deposits where heavily regulated for a reason, When those regulations where removed the model broke. It isn’t that every person should be required to know how the wind of a American butterfly wing effects the price of tea in China, Its the model under which our economy is organised needs to create an environment that normal persons can operate in.

    From this nations founding until the FDR banking reforms we had a major depression almost every decade. From the FDR reforms until 1986 we only had minor economic problems. From 1986 on we have averaged a major recession or depression every decade. The roll back of the great depression regulations was a mistake.

    “In fact, if you look at bank advertisements from the 1800?s (before both deposit insurance and before the Fed), banks would advertise their capital amount, strength and prudence.”

    Name 10 banks that existed from the founding until now. Name 10 banks that have existed for at least 100 years.

    Maybe in magic land, every person has an economics PHD and 36 hours a day to process the day to day changes in the world so that they can move their money to banks that are a safe and move their money out when that changes. In reality however that is a level of prudence beyond the abilities of most people. What your asking for a non functioning system calling back to an era of robber barons, gilded gates, and movement of commerce limited by the speed of a horse or telegraph.

    The entire S&L system was insolvent in 1980 due to (again) mismanagement by the Fed. All banks and S&L’s have an inherient asset/liability mismatch since they are funded by short term (essentially floating rate) deposits and they invest in long term fixed rate mortgages. So when the Fed created inflation in the 1970’s they created the insolvency of the S&L’s long before any deregulation.

    • #40 by Glenden Brown on September 14, 2011 - 2:59 pm

      You really don’t understand either the S&L crisis or inflation in the 1970s do you?

      S&L’s were deregulated in 1980 – giving them many of the same functions as banks without the regulations. Hence, the S&L crisis.

      Inflation in the 70s can also be attributed to among other things rising energy prices and the increases in other prices (Brad DeLong makes an interesting argument that the Fed in the 70s was so afraid of a return of 30s deflation that it failed to act with regard to inflation but that didn’t cause inflation.)

  40. #41 by brewski on September 14, 2011 - 3:15 pm

    The S&L’s were insolvent long prior to the deregulation.

    But as interest rates became more volatile, particularly in the late 1970s, the S&L industry failed to tackle the risk inherent in the funding of long-term, fixed-interest mortgages by means of short-term deposits.

    One problem was that regulation intended to help the S&L sector in the 1960s had put a ceiling on the interest rate that S&Ls could offer to depositors. This measure succeeded for a while in dampening competition for depositor funds between banks and S&Ls. But as new money market funds began to compete fiercely during the 1970s for depositors’ money by offering interest rates set by the market, S&Ls suffered significant withdrawal of deposits during periods of high interest rates – a process known as disintermediation.

    The biggest problem, though, was more fundamental. When S&Ls tried to compete for funds by offering relatively high rates or by offering interest rates in line with or above market rates, an unsustainable gap opened up between the cost of their funding liabilities (short-term interest rates) and the income generated by their assets (long-term, fixed-rate mortgage repayments).

    Worse, as interest rates moved higher, the economic value of existing S&L portfolios of long-term, low interest rate residential mortgages moved sharply lower, threatening institutions with insolvency.

    By 1980, with interest rates on US government debt hitting 16%, many S&Ls had already been fatally wounded.

    Luckily for the owners of thrifts, regulators in the early 1980s lacked the political, financial or human resources to close large numbers of institutions. Rigorous enforcement would have meant paying out much more money to insured depositors than was held in the industry-funded FSLIC insurance fund. It would also have meant working with literally hundreds of insolvent institutions, and overcoming numerous political obstacles at a federal and state level to radical S&L industry reform.

    All of this was before any deregulation was enacted.

    So you have no fucking clue as to what you are talking about. Seriously. You are way out of your depth.

    • #42 by Glenden Brown on September 14, 2011 - 3:20 pm

      You have a source for that or did you just blockquote it to make it look like something valid?

      You claimed the Fed caused inflation in the 70s and you say I don’t know what I’m talking about? Yeah, seriously?

  41. #43 by brewski on September 14, 2011 - 4:12 pm

    Economists generally agree that monetary policy performed poorly during this period. In part, this was because policymakers, in choosing what they believed to be the appropriate setting for monetary policy, overestimated the productive capacity of the economy. I’ll have more to say about this shortly. Federal Reserve policymakers also underestimated both their own contributions to the inflationary problems of the time and their ability to curb that inflation. For example, on occasion they blamed inflation on so-called cost-push factors such as union wage pressures and price increases by large, market-dominating firms; however, the abilities of unions and firms to push through inflationary wage and price increases were symptoms of the problem, not the underlying cause. Several years passed before the Federal Reserve gained a new leadership that better understood the central bank’s role in the inflation process and that sustained anti-inflationary monetary policies would actually work. Beginning in 1979, such policies were implemented successfully–although not without significant cost in terms of lost output and employment–under Fed Chairman Paul Volcker.

    Obama is a fricking zen genius!

    See, the president’s proposal is merely to shift the tax breaks – it would change it so that these so-called ‘job creators’ wouldn’t be able to get the breaks just for the privilege of being called that. They would actually have to create jobs to get the credits! The oil and gas industry wants to earn that $40 billion in tax breaks back? All they have to do is create 10 million jobs for the long term unemployed, or hire enough new workers to get enough of the payroll tax break on the employer side, or some combination of it. The rich want their tax breaks back? Fine, let’s see you actually create jobs and you can get the credits back.

    This is an incredibly smart move on the president’s part. Plus, it has the added benefit of being substantive. As the president said, we no longer have the luxury of both investing in our future and wasting taxpayer money on giveaways to multinationals. We no longer have the luxury to both incentivize small businesses to create jobs and incentivize ubercorporations to horde cash. We no longer have the luxury to both rebuild America and coddle corporate jet owners.

    So the president us calling the Republicans’ bluff and challenging the “job creators” meme the GOP has invented to protect special interest boondoggles for the rich. He is basically saying through his proposal: You want tax breaks because you are the job creators? Fine, let’s see you actually create jobs and you can keep your tax breaks. Otherwise, STFU.

22.12.2008 - Sugar slumps most in 5 months on dollar rally, supply outlook
From Bloomberg: Sugar slumped the most in five months as the strengthening dollar curbed the appeal of U.S. commodities and on speculation that supplies will be enough to prevent shortages. The dollar climbed the most against a basket of six major currencies in 11 weeks, rebounding from an 8.1 percent drop this month through yesterday that made commodities cheaper for buyers with other currencies. ....

Army Sgt. Robert T. Rapp, 22, Sonora; killed by suicide bomber in Afghanistan

Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

Not long ago, 22-year-old Bobby Rapp took pen to binder paper in a faraway land, writing what amounted to a last will and testament.

He expressed love of family back home in Sonora, Calif., and a firm commitment to his young life's task -- the war on terror. For his funeral, he had a simple request: that "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin be played.

Army Sgt. Robert T. Rapp was one of two paratroopers killed March 3 by a suicide bomber in Sabari, Afghanistan, southeast of Kabul. A car rigged with explosives drove into the gates of an Afghan government building that the soldiers were guarding.

Rapp was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, N.C.

"Let the world know I died doing what I love," he wrote to his family in that prophetic letter. "Dying for my country is the greatest honor I could ever receive."

Rapp was killed less than a month before his 15-month deployment was scheduled to end. He had planned to enter college and major in kinesiology. He wanted to become a physical therapist, get married and raise a family.

But those plans for the future came second to Rapp's devotion to his nation. When he was 18, he left high school six months early to enlist out of what friends and family called a deep-rooted sense of patriotism and duty burning in him after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

He served stints in Iraq and Afghanistan, and experienced the loss of four close friends.

In an interview in August with his hometown newspaper, the Union Democrat, Rapp expressed the firm belief that America was gaining ground in Afghanistan.

He talked of terrorist pockets cleaned up by U.S. forces and of winning the "humanitarian war." Schools were being reopened, he said. A sense of renewal was being reestablished in a war-torn land.

"This is the most important thing I've done in my life," he said. "I have no regrets. If I had to do it all over again, I would."

And America, he said, is safer for it.

"Anyone that's wanted to take a shot at Americans has to do it here in Afghanistan," he told the newspaper. "They can't come to America and fly planes into our buildings -- not after 9/11."

His executive officer in Afghanistan, Capt. Drew Schaffer, said in an online posting that Rapp had "a heart of solid gold." After making sergeant at a young age, Rapp proved to be a "fantastic" mentor and leader, on duty for all his soldiers all the time, Schaffer said. His "dedication and positive attitude was contagious."

"You obviously did an amazing job raising such an incredible and unforgettable person," Schaffer told Rapp's parents. "He is a hero."

Becca Padgett, a friend, wrote in a letter posted on a memorial website that Rapp had a "magical smile," an ability to bring out the best in everyone he knew. "I love you 4ever Bobbo," she wrote.

He is survived by his parents, Jennifer and Ted, and older brother Pat.

Rapp grew up amid the charms of Sonora, a historic gold rush town of 4,700 sitting on the western edge of the Sierra Nevada.

The town turned out in force to support his family and mourn the young soldier's death. A memorial of flowers grew downtown. At a church service March 14, Rapp was remembered as a friend of many, a youth who liked all sorts of sports and early on demonstrated a mischievous streak.

Before the funeral, his mother recalled a prank that landed Rapp in a heap of teenage trouble. As a high school freshman, she said in an interview with the Modesto Bee, he ground up Ex-Lax and put it in a friend's sandwich. The practical joke got Rapp suspended.

But, mostly, he excelled at Sonora High School, particularly at sports, wrestling and running cross-country. An accomplished outdoorsman, he joined the Dodge Ridge ski area's race team as a kindergartner. He also enjoyed hunting and golf.

Despite chilly weather on the day of his funeral, hundreds of residents lined the main street as a procession led the hearse carrying the flag-draped coffin. Students from Sonora Elementary School took time from class to pay their respects, holding small American flags, their hands over their hearts.

Before the full military burial, complete with a 21-gun salute, about 800 people attended the funeral at Sierra Bible Church.

Inside, a dirge echoed in the rafters. A lone musician on acoustic guitar played "Stairway to Heaven."

This is GREAT! And oh so true.....

How do you convince little boys that reading books is cool? According to Glenn Murray, co-author of New York Times bestseller "Walter the Farting Dog" and newly released "Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale", the secret is in the details. "Little boys love trucks, dinosaurs and farts," claims Murray. As a father of two now grown and well-read sons, and more notably a supervisor in the Canadian Ministry of Education, Murray would know.

First of all, you're completely right. But I'd like to make a few additions:

"To install, say, seamonkey on PC-BSD, you have 3 possibilities:

1. Install the application like on Windows (.pbi file)
2. Install the seamonkey package with: pkg_add -r seamonkey
3. Compile seamonkey from ports: cd /usr/ports/www/seamonkey && make install clean"

Oh, you have one more, so 4 (!) possibilities, namely portinstall / portupgrade. To be technically exactly, portinstall can do what no. 2 and 3 do, but it also cares about the package database integrity. Looking at no. 2 and 3, you should run

# pkgdb -aF

before and after, just for security.

portinstall can a) compile from source or b) use a precompiled package. It can also create a precompiled package from waht you just compiled from source. (I use this way to compile a bunch of applications once and then having precompiled packages to add on another system.)

This will install seamonkey from source:

# portinstall seamonkey

(You can add -p to have the precompiled package stored in /usr/ports/packages/.)

This will install seamonkey from a precompiled package, which is fetched automatically:

# portinstall -P seamonkey

(You can use -PP instead of -P to use such packages only, especially for dependencies.)

For more information and examples, please refer to "man portinstall".

And to upgrade to a newer version of seamonkey, you would do this:

# portupgrade seamonkey

(Use additional options as desired.)

But as I said before, the use of the PBI system is recommended. Novice users should always use it until they really know what they do.

So what's the problem here? Surely, no problem.

As a comment: My neighbour uses PC-BSD for half a year now and he's happy with it. He has no problems using the PBI system, it works fine for him. He doesn't even feel the need to install applications with pkg_add, portinstall or make. If I may say it this way, he's a computer illiterate; the PC-BSD workstation is his first own system - and he loves it. I'll give him the 1.3 installation discs soon after doing a data backup via LAN.

"AFAICT, on Linux you are pretty much limited to apt-get or yum."

What about YaST? Or am I mixing up things here? (I have to excuse, I don't use Linux on a daily basis.)

Most BSD users are also Linux users, so your argument doesn't make sense. One of the reason some people leave the Linux community for BSD is precisely because the Linux gurus are pedant and treat n00bs as stupid. You don't see that among the BSD community."

Can confirm.

"I doubt he ever dealt with viruses on his FreeBSD box. "

Same here. :-)

"I think he was only talking about anti-virus which don't make sense on FreeBSD unless if you use it as a mail server."

That's correct. If you're running a mail server, you have to be careful about proper administration. If you're running just a simple workstation, you usually won't encounter any problems with PC-BSD. The firewall settings (ipfw) are good by default. Spam is a problem in your INBOX where you can apply the proper rules in your favourite mail client. And viruses... I don't need to say anything. :-)

While Linux is not a microkernel it isn't as monolithic as earlier versions of Unix. A lot has been moved outside the kernel and it is extremely modular, much more so than Windows.

It is either a microkernel or Monolithic. How much of the linux kernel is actually executed in userland?

The graphics part of the driver stack is shared with other OSes that use like OpenSolaris.

GNU, GPL, Open Source When Windows Vista was launched, the Free Software Foundation started its BadVista campaign, which was aimed at informing users about what the FSF considered user-restrictive features in Vista. Luckily for the FSF, Vista didn't really need a bad-mouthing campaign to fail. Now that Windows 7 is receiving a lot of positive press, the FSF dusted off the BadVista drum, and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

RE[3]: Why?
by StaubSaugerNZ on Thu 27th Aug 2009 08:30 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: Why?"
Member since:

This is probably a waste of time; but here we go!

Like others have already said; you are seriously missing the point. Some of us do like the concept of free and open source software but that DOES NOT make proprietary software bad. Its simply horses for courses. One of the (many) reasons I haven't made the switch to Linux is some of the software that I really like and use a lot that is oly available on Windows. It also happens to be shareware (and I have paid for my copies) and for me, it just works really well.

Oh! and please don't tell me about Wine (been there and done that :-( ).

A little open-mindedness in the geek community wouldn't go astray sometimes. Seems to me that many on "my side of the discussion" have tried both open source and proprietary software but not many on the other side have done the same; for them its a "religious experience" thing (bit like the Taliban did someone say?). Try Windows 7, if you can remove your blinkers you might be surprised.

I am using Windows 7 on one of my machines. It's not too bad, though not worth the colossal amount we'll be charged when it comes out of RC trial use.

I'm very pleased to hear you're one of the few paying for shareware. Well done. By paying for it you are saying that there is some kind of moral obligation attached to software, which what the FSF are saying (although their point-of-view is that the moral concerns are paramount).

Here's something to think about. In the sixties the average person looked down on hippies and greenies as having an impractical view of the world with their concerns for the planet. Today we realise that despite their unkempt appearance that perhaps their message was true. For example, in today's news the axolotl has decreased to around 1000 in the wild. Polar bears are likely to be extinct within a couple of decades, etc the list goes on. Maybe it's due to humans, maybe not, but no matter what we're not doing enough for our environment and not looking after the lesser species.

It is my belief that may advocates of the 'practicality' of proprietary software miss the point as well (just as the mainstream missed the message of the greenies many years ago). Free Software is all about *control*, the user should have the ability to take control if they wish, irrespective of what the developer wanted. The GPL is there to ensure this happens. Sun's Scott McNealy famously declared that "Privacy is dead, get over it". If you accept proprietary software you are of this point of view and don't mind developers and companies having control of your computing experience (think of the iPod fiascos on a larger scale).

It is in the nature of proprietary software and its developers to stop you having control, and it is increasingly possible these days. Their company gets addicted to the cash. I'm happy to pay for my software (at reasonable rates) but I do expect the source. Personally, I'd rather continue to struggle to master my own destiny. All I can do is point this out to those so inured with the corporate mantra and let you make up your own mind.

Peace Peter,

Internet & Networking It might be common, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to wail against it - especially since I was not familiar with this particular case. As it turns out, several of Adobe products' download pages have opt-out checkboxes to also install Google Chrome. This was spyware-like behaviour when Apple did it with Safari and the iPhone Configuration Utility, and it is still spyware-like behaviour when Adobe and Google do it with Chrome.

You question didn't come with a defintion of "Major". If you had said,

"Well, yes Mozilla does do a good job, but they aren't subject to the same financial pressures that google is becuase of the nature of the services they provide "

That's a very mature way of saying it. As opposed to

"Fantastic. You're comparing Google to Mozilla. Bravo.

Clue: ..."

That's childish. That's why you were modded down. Bad form.
That comment wasn't even modded down - it was my first one. Look, the parent I replied to gave us an example of bundling Chrome that is simply non-existent, then went on to conclude that Google is the enemy of the free and fair internet. What? And you call me childish? Then he gave mozilla as an example that is not even in the same league as Google. I didn't define major because I didn't think I have to... I thought it was obvious. Not to mention the irony of coming up Mozilla as a counter example. Who was the most important revenue source for Mozilla in their growth period? Google!

You seem to think there that ~physicists are much different...

I ~knew (hardly knew, just "yeah, those were around" out of one random bunch, without looking hard) only one or two who seriously ended up close to CERN. Most don't really do that much with physics.

Anyway, this will be probably the century of ~biochemistry, ~biotechnology, and such - that's where we know little / there's much to be done / it's damn hard.
(~physics is a fairly "done" deal, in comparison)

PS. And "get ahead", that you mention in a post just below, is a zero-sum game - how too many people get taken by it, into thinking that should be the goal, is possibly even one of the main issues; perhaps precisely what leads to more or less sweatshops, for many.

Times are generally better than ever ...but it's quite possible you perceive them as worse also because of that "get ahead" ( )

In the News "So sprawling is Samsung's modern-day empire that some South Koreans say it has become possible to live a Samsung-only life: You can use a Samsung credit card to buy a Samsung TV for the living room of your Samsung-made apartment on which you'll watch the Samsung-owned pro baseball team. Samsung is South Korea's greatest economic success, and, more recently, the subject of major controversy. Economists, owners of small- and medium-size businesses, and some politicians say Samsung no longer merely powers the country but overpowers it, wielding influence that nearly matches that of the government." Campaign contributions, moles in political offices and chambers, this Samsung stuff - this is what happens when companies are left unchecked. It's cute if you think this only happens in Korea. Much of it all is legal, but that doesn't make it right.

Apple "Apple Inc reported quarterly revenue that slightly missed Wall Street expectations as sales of its flagship iPhone came in below target, sending its shares down more than 4 percent. The world's largest technology company shipped 47.8 million iPhones, lower than the roughly 50 million that Wall Street analysts had predicted. Sales of the iPad came in at 22.9 million in the fiscal first quarter, about in line with forecasts." I'll leave the financials to the experts, but one thing that stood out to me: Apple sold 4.2 million Macs, almost a million below expectations. How much of a future does desktop computing have at Apple? Update: The NYT/Reuters changed the title during the night. Fixed it.

"Attach a proper keyboard, mouse and a USB drive and you can do most desktop tasks on a tablet with ease. Desktops will still be around for demanding tasks but most user's will be fine with a flexible tablet."

Not in the business world. I recently interviewed one person from every team in a large company (it took a LOOOONG time). The vast majority of business users never leave their desk, and certainly won't be taking a device with them when they leave for the day. It's quite depressing finding out what the "normals" do for a living, because it turns out to be boring and repetitive. A few examples:
number of call center workers needing laptop/tablet = 0
number of receptionists needing laptop/tablet = 0
number of typists needing laptop/tablet = 0
number of people working in accounts (not accountants) needing laptop/tablet = 0
even more depressing is number of first line IT workers needing laptop/tablet = 0

I agree there will be a HUGE shift towards mobile compute, but in the business space it will be far less than you think, and more likely we will see VESA mount micro computers taking over to reduce desk space used

Hotmail messages appearing multiple times?

    I was on Trillian (I hope I'm in the right section for a strange posting like this). It ended up telling me that I got 45 new e-mail messages on my hotmail account all ending in and I am not willing to test the website to see if it works. I went to the hotmail over the web but it seems all it could show me was that they were 1 kb each (so I am not going to check it in outlook). Anyone else had this problem tonight? That really flooded my system badly.
