The GDP in 2008 was negative for 3 out of the 4 quarters, and for the year. It was a CRUSHING -6.3 percent for Q4 2008. 2% growth would have been a giant improvement.
Some of the coastal areas in NJ had their infrastructure wiped out by Sandy. Verizon is not replacing the copper. So Verizon is supplying fixed wireless for phone service at tariff rates.
NZ - I don't like this US - sorry NZ - won't US - but you must NZ - get stuffed US - ok but don't call us when China comes to your door NZ - oh all right
I'm 63. That's old enough to remember the newspaper headlines over an outbreak of polio and seeing pictures of iron lungs in magazines, and being quarantined when I got measles.
As far as Hep B, it's a nasty chronic infection that 1 million US citizens suffer from. Most get it as a child. Over time it can cause serious liver damage.
That's NOT how the Constitution works. It GRANTS powers to government. Everything that is not given as a power in the Constitution is NOT a legitimate function of government. There is no power to make courts secret.
On the other hand the Constitution does NOT contain a list of all the rights of citizens. The 9th Amendment makes this quite clear. There are many rights NOT enumerated. Due process IS listed as a right.
How the hell can you have due process if a court and laws can be secret? The idea is preposterous.
Everything is testable. The question is are you actually measuring what you think you are. That's why I used the word 'measurable'.
People have been arguing about whether their test for intelligence actually measures anything useful for decades. Spatial ability is a subset of this so pardon my skepticism.
And as far as creativity goes, well it's ineffable. The idea you can measure it with a test is absurd. About all you can do is give examples of the results of the application of creativity.
My wife is unreformed. Plus she is a librarian who brings her work home. I really like books too.
So we have 30 floor to ceiling bookcases in our home. And wish we had room for more. Some of the contents of these are really keepsakes of our lives. For example the First Edition Lord of The Rings boxed set my wife's parents purchased for her from England when she was a young girl.
A couple of these bookcases contain computer manuals and programming language reference books. I am in the process of weeding these out. It's clear to me that most of these books are of short term usefulness and really are perfect for ebooks.
Many other books are available free in ebook form. I really don't intend to purchase many of these, so they will remain in that form.
But for many of the great books in our lives only physical books will do. For us holding a book brings a state of mind that cannot be obtained any other way.

California receives 78 cents in federal funds for each dollar that gets sent to the Federal government in taxes.
What the real bailout is the states that receive more funds from the Federal Government than they send. That is pretty much all the Red states.
California will not get bailed out.
So Oracle is trying to kill off Solaris? Because nobody in their right mind would buy an OS from a company behaving like this.
10 racks can be 1000 servers.
I'd do it by some other criteria.
Well, you can start by looking up the post war history of Japan.
217-205.
My representative, who voted for crap like CISPA even voted against this.
All that is needed is to change 7 votes.
I need some for my street.
How do you know the CA's don't get their keys from the NSA in the first place?

Mr Source needs to update his talk.
Then what's this about?

I'm in one of the areas that is served by both cable and FIOS, and my service is nothing like the average 8 or so.
I'm on Cablevison, which recently bumped their Boost tier to 120 Mbps down and 37 up. This tier is only $5 a month more than the base tier.
There are no caps either.
The main thing you need is to get rid of the competitive restraints. No franchises please!
NZ - I don't like this
US - sorry
NZ - won't
US - but you must

In places without modern medical care they do. For example the fatality rate from measles is 20% in such places.
If you are immunocomprimised the fatality rate from measles is 30%.
In isolated populations a measles outbreak can and has killed 50% or more of the population. (Honduras 1531).
The US in 1972. The entire world in 1977.
It's a shame the name Donald Ainslie Henderson is not more widely known. Why he hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize is beyond me.
The technology requires multiple images to capture the scene from a variety of vantage points.
That's cheating.

I was in first grade when the first polio vaccine was administered to us.
This was a rite of passage alright. A passage from fear and disease.
Human lifespan increases in the second half of the 20th century were from decreased childhood mortality. It is not just a 'rite of passage'.
Resistance to vaccinations in these areas was present long before the CIA stories.

Rotavirus not fatal? Um sorry but that's wrong.
It's one of the most potentially deadly childhood diseases. Worldwide half a million children die from it each year.
Even in the US 30-60 children die from it each year.

That's just the procedural part.
There is also the substantive part.

Nice try at changing the subject.
You don't need a secret court and secret laws to keep wiretaps under a sealed order. It's done all the time in regular courts.
That's NOT how the Constitution works. It GRANTS powers to government. Everything that is not given as a power in the Constitution is NOT a legitimate function of government. There is no power to make courts secret.
On the other hand the Constitution does NOT contain a list of all the rights of citizens. The 9th Amendment makes this quite clear. There are many rights NOT enumerated. Due process IS listed as a right.
