      Obama Is Set to Shuffle His Staff
      “Obama Is Set to Shuffle His Staff - http://nyti.ms/fhaQUn rt @nytimes” 
      We certainly must have changes. We have had two years of blocked debate, we had better prepare for two more.  If reasonable action comes out of congress, it will be over a large number of dead bodies.

      Health Care Conversations
      “Health Care Conversations - http://bit.ly/1fdX8s”
      This was the hight of the debate and too far in the past to get interactive graphics with my system. It looks like thiswas about the time Abortion was debated. My position is that no one gets pregnant to have an abortion.  Every one is a personal tragedy in one form or another. The procedure should be covered, if only as a cost saving measure.  There should be no children that are not intensely loved and desired.  
      Freakonomics has a statistical finding that crime is way down as a result of the reduction in the numbers of unplanned children.

    More Schools Embrace the iPad as a Learning Tool
    Spending money on tablet computers may seem an extravagance, but some educators say they are more than just a cool toy.
    It is a Cool toy. A pencil and pad are nearly as cool but this one reads files.

      Mind: Past Adversity May Aid Emotional Recovery
      New research suggests that resilience may have at least as much to do with how often people have faced adversity in the past as it does with who they are or what they’re facing now.
      This sounds a lot like: "What does not kill me makes me stronger." 
      A statement that may be true. Still, this is no reason to seek pain.
      I like: "We learn and go on." A different approach to the problem.

    To Beat Back Poverty, Pay the Poor
    http://www.google.com/search?q=outdoor+relief&btnG=Search+Books&tbs=bks%3A1&tbo=1
    About 265,000 hits.  The industrialists have hated it from the start.
    Hark hark the dogs do bark
    the beggars are coming to town
    Some in rags, some in tags
    And some in a velvet gown.
    The Welfare Queen in the Cadilac is a very old lie.

    Friends With Benefits
    The value of fashion in a bubbling market is literally insane.
    Think Dutch Tulip bulbs in the mania.

      Tolstoy Remains Snubbed in Russia
      “This clinches it - no joke, anyone have a copy of War and Peace I can borrow? #RussianHistoryNerd http://nyti.ms/eXr9rN” 
      Tolstoy's offence was against The Russian Orthodox Church.  It has survived, he has not.  It will be a long time until art overcomes insult. 
      It will happen, but not soon.

    Birthright Citizenship Looms as Next Immigration Battle
    Hard-liners want an end to “anchor babies,” despite mixed evidence about why parents cross the border.
    There is no battle there. Birthright cannot be removed without a constitutional amendment.  The Supreme Court does not need to tell us that.
    If necessary we can re-fight the Civil War.

      Issa, Senior Republican, Asks Businesses Which Rules They Dislike
      “Issa, Senior Republican, Asks Businesses Which Rules They Dislike - http://nyti.ms/dEZNYH” 
      Regulation by The federal government has a history.  All of them were put in place in response to egregious abuses by industry and the business that operate our industries. Enquiring as to which of the regulations are found restrictive is simply acknowledging the ownership I have long suspected.  This may not be an indictable act as yet but that should be corrected at the first opportunity.  This man is not the representative of his constituency but of his owners. The problem is pervasive.

    Turkey Builds Sway in Iraq With Money and Culture
    Turkey’s ascent in Iraq may prove its greatest success so far in an effort to project its growing heft across an Arab world long suspicious of it.
    There is a peculiar blindness about the perception of this writer, ANTHONY SHADID.
    http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/anthony_shadid/index.html?inline=nyt-per
    An agent of Turkey employed by the NYT?  The Ottomans were sent packing in 1923, I doubt the colonial power will be welcomed back by any but the descendants of the one time colonists.  We know the Kurds are trying to be their own nation state.

      Jennifer Homan’s ‘Apollo’s Angels’ - Critic’s Notebook
      “Is the Ballet Dying? Jennifer Homan’s ‘Apollo’s Angels’ - Critic’s Notebook - http://nyti.ms/hRiHGI” 
      I am glad I read this. I have things to say about this subject and its place in culture. Its development, evolution, speciation and partial extinctions.  The critic touches on it.  Homan may not. I still want to read her book.
      This is all design and always has been.  I am still trying to understand it at the very most basic level.
      There is more to art than painting.  There is content under the fashion.

    With New Heart Pump, Cheney Slowly Resumes Old Life
    Since receiving a device that saved his life, Dick Cheney is focused on finishing his memoir and stepping back, gingerly, into public life.
    I wish him an early and catastrophic failure.

    A Clear and Present Danger to Free Speech
    The Shield bill is the wrong way to protect government secrets.

    A clear and cogent presentation.  
    Peter King is consistently wrong.


I was looking for a text on indoor and outdoor relief. this fascinating text came up:
