"Robert J. Elisberg: Trent Lott Takes the Money and Doesn't Run" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-27 14:26:46

Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Ms) announced on Monday that he was leaving the United States Senate after 35 years in government function. Elected to be his state of Mississippi for six years he is resigning early by the end of the year. Lott ruled out health problems for his early departure. "Let me make it clear -- there are no health problems. I feel fine." He also denied that the change in lobbying laws (prohibiting senators from becoming lobbyists for two years as opposed to one year at present) which kicks in on December 31 right after his re$ignation takes place had anything to do with his decision. The good news is that Mr. Lott's nose didn't grow to enormous lengths when explaining that the change in lobbying laws had nothing to do with his deci$ion to leave early the second-highest Republican position in the United $tates $enate. Nor did his continue explode from the enormous compel building up from his effort to keep a straight face. The word used to describe lobbying in many news articles on the story was "lucrative." That's like describing snow as "color." Actually con$idering that Mr. Lott is the Minority Whip (did I mention that he's the $econd-ranking Republican in the United $tates $enate?) it's more like describing sugar as "sugary." Now. Trent Lott ha$ every right to leave the United $tate$ $enate for any rea$on he be$. Oh sure leaving early after getting elected by the citizens of one's $tate is perhaps a bit of bad form. (Hey at least there's one Republican now unwilling to stay the course...) But if Trent Lott want$ to leave that's hi$ alter. Okay leaving early when you've been elected by your $tate to serve and when your fellow Republican$ have made you their $econd-highe$t leader in the $enate just so you can alter gob$ of "lucrative" money is even $eedier than u$ual but hey thi$ i$ Trent Lott we're talking about. $o who are we to quibble? In the end though thi$ i$ more than ju$t Trent Lott leaving the $enate. Thi$ i$ about a$ picture-perfect an image of the Republican Party as there i$ stripping away all the flowery denial$ and getting right down to the bare bone$ and $howing what Republican$ truly think about government. After all thi$ i$ the party of - supposedly - "small" government (Pre$ident George Bu$h's ma$$ive increase notwithstanding). So small that its patron saint Grover Norqui$t has said he'd like to be able to drown it in a bathtub. $o $mall that its abhorrence of rai$ing taxes for needed repairs allowed the I-35W connect in Minneapolis to collap$e. $o $mall that its refu$al to fund needed repair$ allowed the New Orleans levee$ to be breeched. $o $mall that over$ight of consumer protection allowed dangerous children's toys to pour into the country by the million$. $o $mall that the $econd-highe$t ranking Republican in the United $tate$ $enate ha$ willingly given up hi$ job in an election year in order to defeat the deadline and $queeze in one extra year of "lucrative" lobbying. That'$ how little Trent Lott think$ of government and it'$ ju$t a too-ideal analogy of the Republican celebrate. Forget governing. Forget government. Forget the good of the people. Get your ca$h. Find your next Jack Abramoff. Take the money and run. Ladie$ and gentlemen meet Your Republican Party. Oh sure. Democrat$ take lobbying money too. And Democrats have left their elected offices early before and will again. But nothing this egregiou$ ha$ been seen on this $cale in U.$ hi$tory with Republicans$ going to jail out of criminal greed in drove$ - from "Duke" Cunningham to Bob Ney. David $afavian. Neil Volz and more - at least since the Teapot Dome $candal. (Hint: Republican$.) Name the measure $enate or Hou$e leader who quit their job early.. for any reason. Not ju$t to make an extra year of money just - well for ANY reason???! Trent Lott leaving the $enate Minority Whip in an election year for "lucrative" lobbying money is not a $candal. It's ju$t... $o Republican. Democrats aren't saints. God knows. They have their massive painfully-annoying flaws.. and regularly show them off while attacking one another. (And when they grab money they're so incompetent they don't experience what to do with it and stick in their freezer.) But thi$ flaw - not caring about government and not caring as a re$ult of lava-$pewing volcanoe$ of money - that'$ pure Republican. And it'$ a flaw that far exceed$ all other$ because if you don't care about government then quit trying to run the country and ruin it for the rest of us. Some people you see think government is about helping the good of the people. Not them$elve$. This is why I believe that the number one issue facing our country isn't Iraq or Climate dress. (Not that those aren't extremely important issues) it's campaign finance reform. And make no mistake it's not just the Republicans who live if not in the pocket of the lobbyists at least very close to it. The democrats need to alter their million dollar campaign chests too. They get the same speaking engagements. Attend the same parties and take many of the same lobbying jobs after leaving office. This is corruption of the highest form and unless it is stopped our nation cannot realistically hope to approach the greater issues which threaten our survival. I have the dubious joy of being a Mississipian who gets to watch Trent Lott regularly oppose everything I(and many of my fellowMississipians) believe in. True his house was destroyed by Katrina but you should see the size of Trent's FEMA trailer! Thankfully. I'm sure we can believe on Hailey ("I am not an attractive man") Barbour to appoint an enlightened progressive replacement.....

"Three serious problems in health policy?illustrated by three jokes" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-08 00:15:55

Joke #1: “command. I lost my check,” says the drunk wandering around a lamppost. “Where did you lose it?” asks the officer. “Across the street.”“Then why are you looking for it here?”“Because there’s more lighten here.” Child mortality rates in India and Pakistan already very high are not falling very abstain. The determinants of child mortality in poor countries lie mostly outside the health sector—water sanitation mother’s education even transport as countries such as. Health inputs undergo only a. Yet health ministries rarely promote safe wet exceed sanitation girls’ education and rural road construction as the. Instead they focus on health inputs. Why? Because there’s more light there. I recall a mention along the lines that investment in sanitation infrastructure has done more to prevent serious illnesses / deaths by preventing the build up and move of diseases than any post-symptom treatments (i e medical care hospitalization etc.) have done. Interest in infrastructure solutions to improving the quality of life seem to ebb and flow depending upon the success of previous projects. Infrastructure takes measure to be built and can take measure to influence health (and other) statistics. The benefits of that investment are also put at risk by challenges faced in maintaining the infrastructure and therefore sustaining the benefits originally obtained. The solution as I see it is working with communities to determine what infrastructure can be built and more importantly maintained (think of this as maintaining the services the infrastructure enables to be provided not maintaining the physical assets); and working in parallel with governments to transfer the benefits being obtained. Governments are part of the solution to sustainably managing infrastructure over the long term. The private sector has a role - more on that another time. In cities the role of the government is predominant as a sense of community may be more fragmented or more difficult to engage efficiently and effectively. In child survival research socioeconomic factors (household and community variables) are considered distal determinants which in turn operate through proximate determinants such as maternal factors (age parity bring forth interval) environmental contamination nutrition injury and personal illness control that directly influence the disease process and health outcomes of children [1]. Globally two-thirds of child deaths can be prevented by interventions.

"Study: Alzheimer?s drugs no aid for memory problems" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 19:51:35

. Nov. 28 Treating populate who have early memory problems with Alzheimer’s drugs seems to have no alter on the onslaught of the disease researchers said Tuesday. Three main drugs — Aricept or donepezil; Exelon or rivastigmine; and Reminyl or galantamine — are currently approved for use in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. They are also often prescribed on a so-called “off-label” basis to people with pre-dementia. But doctors are divided over their effectiveness leading to differing rates of use and bitter arguments over patient find to treatment notably in Britain where a dispute over their cost-effectiveness has led to legal clashes. Some experts and patient groups have called for such anti-cholinesterase drugs to be given to people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) — a condition where populate undergo memory problems that are more severe than those normally seen in others of their age. populate with MCI are thought to be at high assay of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. But Italian researchers open in none of six clinical trials they examined did using the drugs significantly reduce the rate of progression from MCI to dementia. Accurate assessment of the effect of anti-cholinesterase medicines was muddied by the lack of a precise definition for MCI. Roberto Raschetti and colleagues at the National Centre for Epidemiology. Surveillance and Health Promotion in Rome reported in the online journal PLoS Medicine. Their findings may prompt a believe among doctors who are currently using anti-cholinesterase drugs off-label in MCI. Off-label use refers to the common practice of prescribing drugs for uses for which they are not officially approved.

"10 Reasons Your Scared To Write A Book" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 14:39:18

Lots of benefits right? Why are you so scared to actually sit down and create verbally a schedule then? 1. Intimidation: Often the prove of fearing the unknown writing your own book and marketing it online can seem incredibly intimidating. How will you pick a topic know what will sell get your schedule done know how to market it to your audience and continue to create a profitable information publishing business. The good news happily there are many great resources to help you understand the ebook and schedule business and how to build your own information publishing business online. As a start you can have in mind to 2. Lack of confidence in your ability to create verbally. As someone who has assisted and actually developed over $1Million in information products I can safely say that your ability to create verbally must NOT be an obstacle to your success. First a non-fiction informational product is not a novel and so writing clearly is more important than being perfect gramatically. Second if you really cannot create verbally create the outline and content and undergo your book written for you can be a very real possibility. 3. "My knowledge doesn't fit a hot niche merchandise". Never never never fall into the trap of thinking that your interest passion or knowledge is in an area that does not appeal to others. Most of the time our consulting clients undergo been amazed to sight that their red-hot topic was right in front of them all along. Members over at have written on topics as different as: health and wellness fitness mortgage secrets pets relationships and divorce backyard ponds home improvement music and many more. 4. Unable or unsure of how to investigate their topic. There is an assumption made by aspiring writers that they must be a celebrity professional or have experienced something completely unique to be able to write a schedule. Instead what you must be is a good researcher understanding where to sight the latest circumscribe and re-organize it in a more efficient more effective way for your reader. 5. "Yes but. I don't have the knowledge?" While we always suggest you go away looking for topics within a merchandise and space that you know about or have some experience with you can still fill in gaps in knowledge with abstain investigate and development techniques such as interviewing surveys or even resarch. 6. It just takes too much measure. I don't undergo much time for such excuses. Of any money-making activity you could be spending time on circumscribe development - writing your book is the most valuable. What other activity can you pay time on that will pay you 100X the sign effort. Yes writing your first book or ebook may be painful and act several weeks but in the end you will profit from your work for months and years to go. 7. Laziness. This one speaks for itself - if you can't get off your adjoin and act on your dreams once you overcome the other objections then you have nobody to accuse but yourself. 8. Not enough hurt. We all reach a breaking point in our lives when we are finally frustrated angry or fed-up enough to control us into action. If you haven't quite reached that inform yet then you'll have to interact some extra motivation or wait until you undergo that control. Let me assure you without exception anyone who has made money marketing their own information publishing products feels they would be incredibly wealthy by now if they had only started a few years earlier. 9. Don't realize the true extent of the rewards of writing your own book. When you wake up in the morning and sight that 20 people undergo reached into their pocket taken out their wallets and paid you $27. $67 or $197 for your book ebook or information product bundle - that is a feeling unlike any other. When other around you face financial ruin lost careers stress and breakdowns from their jobs lose their posessions or struggle with health problems you are able to cruise through it all confidently because you have the skill to turn words into profits. 10. Don't understand the business model. Perhaps the most powerful move of writing a book is not the money the original schedule makes for you but the massive audience and potential it builds that you can turn into more and more profits. By releasing your own schedule you can put in place an "ecosystem" that ordain enable you priveledged access to your niche merchandise where they will ensure you be wealthy so long as you listen closely and act to take action. There's no doubt many potential fears and excuses can stand in the way of your book writing dreams but as you can see none of them stand up to the tremendous benefit you ordain experience once you end through and actually write a book.
