Lawrenceburg Sportsbooks
Sports betting in Indiana may soon be coming to five cities along the Ohio River and chief amongst them is Lawrenceburg. This city is home to the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, a riverboat casino that is expected to be home to Lawrenceburg Sportsbooks within the next year or so.
Indiana sports betting was officially legalized by Governor Eric Holcomb when he signed it into law. You may be wondering why Lawrenceburg Sportsbooks can't just open automatically, now that there are no federal or state prohibitions in the way, but they've got to wait for the say-so from the Indiana Gaming Commission now. The Commission itself also has to get itself prepared to start taking in applications from all over the state so it will only be a matter of time before they get to applications from Lawrenceburg.
In order to bring you all of the information you need about sportsbooks in Lawrenceburg, we've decided to put together this page. Here you'll find all of the relevant legal information about sports betting in Indiana. We've also included information on the best sportsbooks in Lawrenceburg when they open, and what you can expect to find there. We'll be updating this page regularly, as new developments occur. Continue to check in to this Lawrenceburg sportsbooks page for all of the latest on sports betting in Indiana.
|Best Indiana Sports Betting Sites - 100% Trusted + Safe
Is Sports Betting Currently Legal In Lawrenceburg, Indiana?
Yes, sports betting is legal in Lawrenceburg Indiana. After a 2018 decision to by the US Supreme Court to lift the federal ban on sports betting, lawmakers in Indiana got to work, holding a special session that summer just to study the topic. Almost a year later, a solid framework was built and Governor Eric Holcomb signed the bill on the last day the legislature was in session. The bill gives gaming venues in the state such as racetracks, off-track betting facilities, and casinos the right to apply for sportsbooks through the Indiana Gaming Commission. However, none of these types of establishments has been approved by the Commission quite yet. The bill also allows approved gambling institutions to partner with an online sportsbook operator to provide statewide mobile betting.
That last part of the bill raises some questions about the use of online offshore sportsbooks. Those types of online betting sites have been available on mobile devices for some time now and they are not held to the legal authority of the state or the federal government. Online casino gambling was not approved in the bill, but online sportsbooks may be held in a different light now. Any language concerning the use of offshore books was also still kept out of any state law. For those that don't want to wait for Lawrenceburg sportsbooks to open, going this alternative route is seen by many as a safe option. These sites will accept any members from the state of Indiana and only report to the gaming authorities in their home country.
How Old Do I Have To Be To Bet On Sports In Lawrenceburg
As Lawrenceburg Sportsbooks begin to open, we expect them to follow the state law and only permit those that are 21 years old or older to bet on sports. Lawmakers in Indiana chose to go the route of most states and keep the activity reserved for those that are old enough to enter the state's casinos. If you choose to use online offshore sportsbooks you will have to abide by this age as well, no matter what age that site says it will accept. Indiana horse racing betting is the next best option for the younger crowd looking to put money down on sports to take as the legal age to do so is only 18 years old or older.
The Best Sportsbooks In Lawrenceburg
The best sportsbooks in Lawrenceburg are not yet open but will be soon. When they open, expect to find incredible service, impeccable betting odds, and a plethora of wager types that will make even the most discriminating bettors happy. But one could argue that the best sportsbooks in Lawrenceburg might just be online, offshore sportsbooks, rather than land-based venues.
The great thing about online, offshore sportsbooks is that you don't have to choose just one. You can have multiple accounts. You can even have an account at land-based Lawrenceburg sportsbooks in addition to accounts with online offshore books. With so many options, it can be kind of hard to identify which are the best sportsbooks in Lawrenceburg, IN. But then again, who says you have to choose?
Below you'll find a review of the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, the home to any potential land-based sportsbooks in Lawrenceburg. This venue is world-class, and any books operated there would be some of the best in the business for sports betting in Indiana. As we learn more about potential timelines and betting options, we'll be sure to update this review. For now, enjoy what we know about Lawrenceburg sportsbooks.

Depending on the kind radio communication alphabet trip and activity that you have in mind, your camping provisions should be more or less the necessary items that you are likely to need for outdoor survival. However, this doesn't mean that you'll have to bring along everything that you used to enjoy at home. That sounds more like hauling your house and setting it up on a camping site. Be reminded that in a camping expedition you are to commune with nature and not simply to get yourself pampered.
This is a GMRS top 10 2 way radios, not an FRS model. Therefore, you will need to purchase an FCC operator's license before you can use the Audiovox GMRS1582CH. You don't need an FCC operator's license when using an FRS radio.
Some might call me closed minded. I call myself and people like me grounded in the faith. It was proven early in 2 way radio that being ground is very important for Signals to flow properly. Signals that were not grounded bounced all over the place. People that are not grounded bounce from one belief to another. They will never find peace this way or have a solid testimony.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) operates a collection of transmitters across the country that continually broadcast weather information and also broadcast alerts and emergency information related to various situations. A special kind of radio is required to pick up these broadcasts. A good weather/alert radio with SAME technology can be programmed for your local county so that you receive alerts whenever there is an emergency situation close by.
You may want to use a walkie talkie or cell phone, since most shutoff valves are located out near the curb in most suburbs. They are covered with a lid over a small square hole. It is usually easy enough to open the lid by hand.
After killing a few zombies with arrows (Daryl the redneck bow-hunter is fast becoming a favorite), the group makes it up to the rooftop, breaks the chain, and opens the door to see... Merle's hand. No trace of Merle, though. Apparently he reached that hack saw.
hytera radio accessories are quite popular in colleges and educational institutes in UK. It is a trendy thing to carry around and you can also get it clipped to your belt or skirt to add more punch to your style. You can also give it a personal touch by having a cool call tone. With cool features like backlit display and vibra call mode, you can stay in touch with friends in campus, during classes. There are several channels that you can switch between plus you have channel lock facilities. Two way radio are also great for office purposes where you can stay in touch with colleagues in the premises.
The Audiovox GMRS1582CH is equipped with a monochrome LCD display. The display is backlit to make for easier use during at night. The electronic controls offer a range of functions such as power, lock, channel scan, volume, and monitor. There is also a push-to-talk and voice-operated function.
As shown above, a LARGE increase in antenna height two way radios with headsets needed (big cost implications). Or, a LARGE increase in transmit power. Here in the UK, OFCOM are the licensing authority and are unlikely to authorise this. Due to the lack of available frequencies, they tend to restrict coverage of radio systems to allow re-use of frequencies in adjacent geographical areas.

* Strategic opportunity for LNG trains to Europe, replace Nabucco *
The natural gas under the seabed of Cyprus could amount to $400-500 bln influx to the Cyprus economy over the next couple of decades, explained Dr. Michael Economides, a leading expert on energy geopolitics, adding that the financial impact could be in excess of a trillion dollars if the multiplier effect onto the local economy was taken into account.
Economides gave a lecture at the University of Cyprus on "Eastern Mediterranean Natural Gas: A geopolitical game changer", hosted by the Cyprus District 27 of AHEPA, the largest Greek-American association in the world.
According to Economides, Israel's and Cyprus' successes in the energy arena are a game-changer in regional geopolitics. The two countries have cooperated and defined the borders of the continental shelf and natural gas may bring Israel and Cyprus (and by extension Greece) into a natural alliance.
"The situation creates a new reality in the area, perhaps as important as the Arab Spring," Economides said.
He added that in line with the U.S. Geological Survey, the size of the ultimate recoverable natural gas in the Eastern Mediterranean is 200 trln cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas and 3.7 bln barrels of oil. Israel has already booked about 50 Tcf and a dozen new Cypriot blocks, currently in the process of being offered to international bidders, will add 50 Tcf, perhaps 75 Tcf to what has already been discovered.
Economides added that Cyprus could become the vehicle for liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction and then export LNG to a natural gas starving Europe, suffocated by Russian natural gas imports. An alternative and substantial source of natural gas to Europe could provide what the ill-fated Nabucco pipeline is unlikely to ever deliver. Three LNG trains to be constructed on Cyprus can export 20 mln metric tons of LNG per year (MTPA) amounting to about 33% of Russian exports to Western Europe, which were 3.3 Tcf in 2009.
The audience included the Rector of the University of Cyprus, Constantinos Christofides, and Cyprus Energy Chief Solon Kassinis.
Dr. Economides is a professor at the Cullen College of Engineering, University of Houston and Managing Partner of Dr. Michael J. Economides Consultants, Inc. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Energy Tribune and Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering.
He has served as Senior Technical Advisor to China's CNOOC and subsidiary COSL, to China's Sinopec on gas exploitation, including shale, to ENI, Italy's main petroleum multinational company and for more than five years to Yukos and Sibneft, Russia's major petroleum companies.

10 Japanese Grocery Store Finds We Love
Kooky snacks are the best kind of snacks.
(SPOT.ph) We all know that Japan is the country of invention—from shrimp-free shrimp burgers to space tea to powder that turns into food. In case you're tired of the usual convenience store buys, we suggest you have a little fun at a Japanese store. On your next food supply run, load up on these imported insta-eats hailing from the land of the rising sun.
Ototo Crackers in Vegetable Flavor (P80)
This is Japan's version of Animal Crackers only with an "adorkable" whale-veggie cross mascot on the cover. The puffed-up pieces taste similar to goldfish crackers, but less on the cheese and more on the consommé. This veggie variant comes in cute farm-themed shapes like tomato, carrot, pumpkin, scarecrow, and pitchfork.
Available at Seikyo
Chip Star in Nori-Shio Flavor (P80)
Now these are potato chips that don't skimp on that seaweed taste. You get a generous amount of nori flavor that doesn't feel too artificial. And just like a certain U.S. brand's own chips, once you pop, you can't stop.
Available at Seikyo
Yogurt Candy (P80)
Don't let the packaging fool you! This isn't a drugstore antacid tablet. It's an unusual candy that tastes like the sour-tangy yogurt you know and love. This is the perfect "after-dinner mint" to get rid of that greasy umay taste in your mouth.
Available at Seikyo
Alfort in Matcha Flavor (P80)
Would you like to get punched in the taste buds with strong matcha flavor? Take a piece of this chocolate-covered biscuit and before you know it, you'ved finished the whole box. Once you buy a pack, put it in the fridge. Otherwise, it'll melt under this Mordor-like heat.
Available at Seikyo
Caplico Panda (P80)
The intensely kawaii packaging got us hook, line, and sinker. Unique selling point: panda. The faux ice cream dessert contains a thick cream with tons of dark cookie bits housed in a wafer cone. If you want handy noms that won't melt under the intense heat of the sun, then Caplico Panda is for you.
Available at Seikyo
Sonton in Orange Marmalade Flavor (P80)
When a cheerful knock-off of Planters' Mr. Peanut cheerfully beckons you to sample its wares, you have no choice but to oblige. Sonton consists of crunchy, buttery melba toast soaked in orange flavoring with a strong citrusy scent. This definitely makes for a great savory-sweet treat. (PMS-ing snackers: This will calm your cravings.)
Available at Seikyo
Bourbon White Truffe (P80)
Yep, you get fancy-schmancy, individually wrapped truffle chocolates for a fraction of the price of Western counterparts. Every bite rewards you with sweet, creamy, full-flavored chocolate that explodes in your mouth. Yum. A word of warning though, just like Alfort, these chocolates also melt easily so put them in the fridge right away.
Available at Seikyo
Orihiro Ice (P125)
This is far from your diluted popsicle. The Orihiro Ice has the light taste of soft-serve vanilla ice cream with the consistency of a jelly pop. If you need a brief respite from the hellish heat, just pop one inside the freezer, wait around 15 to 20 minutes and voila! A chilly dessert. Each pack contains two ice packets so you can either share them or greedily consume both (no shame).
Available at Konbini
Every Burger (P128)
In the proud Japanese tradition of confounding customers and warping their sense of reality (See: KFC Japan's Mashed Potato and Chicken Cake), it turns out that this is a chocolate biscuit. The bun is actually a biscuit and the meat and sauce is chocolate filling. It tastes just like Hello Panda, but presented in a more entertaining manner. And yes, those are actual sesame seeds on the "bun."
Available at Konbini
Bake Creamy Cheese (P120)
What is this? A cheesecake for ants? True to its name, these heavenly morsels are ridiculously melt-in-your-mouth creamy with every bite. The lightly toasted exterior provides a crunchy contrast to the soft sweetened cheese inside. It is so successful in mimicking the taste of real cheesecake that you'll feel like you just ordered it straight from a dessert café.
Available at Konbini
Konbini is at 57 Connecticut Street Greenhills, San Juan City; Seikyo is at 2277 Chino Roces Avenue San Lorenzo Village, Makati City.

The Nassau County SPCA announces the arrest of Gregory Bagwell, 70 of Glen Head, NY for Bail Jumping 3rd Degree, a misdemeanor.
Bagwell was attested May 9, 2019 for bail jumping in relation to being charged on December 29, 2018, with Torturing or Injuring Animals/Failure to Provide Sustenance. Last year Nassau County SPCA Detective visited his Glen Head home and found a female black brown white brindle pitbull mix named "Casey", approximately 5 years old with little or no use of her hind legs. There was a noticeable large open sore on her left rear leg, the Casey appeared underweight, and there was an odor emanating from Casey. The Casey also appeared to have diarrhea and because of the injury to her hind legs, the excrement was being transferred from the floor to her hair and skin.
Gregory Bagwell was processed by the Nassau County Police and Nassau County District Attorney's Animal Crimes Unit. He was arraigned May 9, 2019, in First District Court in Hempstead, NY and held on $5000.00 bond
The charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless found guilty.

Mattel has just launched a new version of Barbie as a 'female entrepreneur' – accessories include purse, smartphone and tablet.
Of course, she is still first and foremost a 'Barbie' with her signature idealized female body type -apparently exaggerated to such a degree that a real life Barbie wouldn't be able to stand or walk – she would have to crawl (!!). Nonetheless in Barbie world these proportions and matching outfits allow Barbie to take on many guises as a beach babe, princess, Pop star but more recently expanded to include President, astronaut, registered nurse, surgeon, and flight attendant and now, to entrepreneur.
Understandably there have been negative responses – And I can relate. In my ideal world Barbie would be an artifact from my childhood.
But I also believe that a female entrepreneurship version of a Barbie can be a good thing
Certainly not as a final stop but as a first, (albeit overly stereotyped) step in the right direction.
Like any tool, it can be used effectively or manipulated
Entrepreneur Barbie could initiate a valid inquiry and act as a bridge in a girls world overwrought with princesses, pop stars and fashionistas to the world of entrepreneurs? Sparking further interest … in a landscape where growing numbers of tangible female role models exist
Additional steps need to be taken. These need to be forged by parents, teachers, educators, non-profits and governments to further expand the horizons of possibilities for our girls to be entrepreneurs and innovators, to encourage them to stretch their capabilities, dream big, not be discouraged by failures and embrace diversity in themselves and others as that is what leads to entrepreneurial breakthroughs. Entrepreneur Barbie challenges us to provide additional real life examples of female entrepreneurs so that Barbie becomes just one example in a sea of possibilities…
I say – let's give it a try!

City Council Speaker Gifford Miller flexed his muscles yesterday, refusing to provide a routine authorization for a cigarette-tax hike negotiated by Mayor Bloomberg and Albany leaders.
Sources said Miller is withholding approval of the tax as a strong-arm negotiating ploy to get goodies for the council in budget talks with the mayor.
"What we will be saying to [Bloomberg] is, make [the budget] more palatable for us," a source told The Post.
"You want a cigarette tax, then give us something else – like the absentee-landlord surcharge," the source added.
That surcharge would place a tax on homeowners who rent out single-family homes but don't live there.
Albany officials said they won't approve the cigarette tax and some other measures for the city until they receive a formal request, called a "home-rule message," from the council.
Legislators said they were hoping to vote today on a relief package worth $450 million to the city if they get the council's OK.
But it's unclear when or if the council will give the green light.
A Miller confidant said the council was not about to be run over by Bloomberg and Albany.
"There are three players in this, and we're an equal partner," the confidant said.
But one powerful Democratic legislator questioned Miller's strategy in holding the deal hostage.
"I don't know what the endgame is," the lawmaker said. "If Bloomberg says no, is he [Miller] going to turn his back on $450 million in needed revenue [from the cigarette tax and other measures]?"
State legislation authorizing the city aid package, while agreed to in principle, has yet to be introduced because Gov. Pataki, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver were still haggling over the language, Silver said.
Bloomberg's cigarette-tax hike could generate more than $250 million for the cash-starved city treasury. Albany has claimed half the revenue for itself.
Miller's spokesman, Chris Policano, pointed the finger at legislators, insisting Miller doesn't have to act until Albany does.
Last night, Silver (D-Manhattan) kicked the ball back to City Hall.
"Whatever the mayor and the speaker [Miller] want, we're prepared to do once we get the home-rule message," he said.

Injuries are one of the leading causes of death among First Nations people. Although the reasons First Nations youth and young adults die are similar to their non-First Nations peers, there are continuing disparities in injury and mortality rates for First Nations young people.
To better understand the gap, the BC Coroners Service (BCCS) in partnership with the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) convened a First Nations death review panel in December 2016 to review the circumstances of unexpected deaths of 95 First Nations youth and young adults (age 15 to 24 years), who died between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2015. Previously the BCCS had completed a number of child death review panels for all children and youth, and specific reviews for youth and young adult deaths. Although these earlier panels included information about Aboriginal peoples, the recommendations applied to all young people and did not focus specifically on First Nations communities.
This review focuses specifically on First Nations peoples. It considers the historical legacy of colonization, the impact of the social determinants of health, and the First Nations perspective on health and wellness when analyzing the facts and circumstances of deaths and to identify public safety opportunities, including those specific to First Nations peoples, and to prevent future similar deaths.
The First Nations review panel members were appointed under the Coroners Act. The review panel was comprised of professionals with expertise in Indigenous health, injury prevention, child welfare, public health, education, law enforcement and academia.
During the six-year review period (2010-2015), an average of 16 First Nations youth and young adults died each year from preventable injuries. The circumstances of the youth and young adults who died were reviewed in aggregate. Current research and statistics were reviewed and key themes identified.

This paper evaluates the effect of wall panels, made of cold formed steel with sheathing on both sides used as infill, on the seismic behaviour of steel frames in terms of the overall additional stiffness and damping capacity. For this purpose, a series of ambient vibration testing was first carried out on a bare steel skeleton and then on a fully finished five-storey building. Based on the global characteristics of the panels, which were identified by experimental matching, a finite element modeling was made to reproduce the behaviour of the entire structure. The numerical model of the structure was subjected to a ground acceleration time histories recorded in the region during the Boumerdes 2003 earthquake. By using this procedure, inadequacies in the FE modeling are highlighted and suggestions are made for better modelling practice for similar structures. The results obtained elucidate some aspects of the stiffening and energy dissipating capacity role of the infill panels. Keywords: cold formed steel, infill frame, earthquake response, ambient vibration, modeling technique, energy dissipation capacity. 1 Introduction Cold-formed steel members and components have been produced and widely used as structural elements for building in many places around the world for at least three decades of the century. Modern design specifications have taken substantial steps in providing design analysis methodology, but these are

Bethesda Starfleet Hospital is a medical facility located in Bethesda, Maryland on Earth. The hospital is operated by Starfleet Medical.
The hospital was first built in 1940 and served as the premier medical facility for the United States Navy.
By the 24th century the hospital was still in existence, and served as a medical facility for the Federation Starfleet. In 2364 Doctor Leonard McCoy was sent to Bethesda after tripping over one of his great-great-grandchild's toys. As a result McCoy missed the launch of the USS Enterprise-D.

|Photo Flynas
Is the Saudi Arabian budget airline Flynas about to upgrade its Airbus order from the new engine offering of the A320 to the larger A321?
In short, yes, the airline is certainly considering making the switch according to Bandar Abdulrahman al-Mohanna its chief executive who said on Tuesday, "We started evaluating and are in discussion with Airbus,"
The airline would use the larger Airbus aircraft on regional routes to the Sub-continent and North Africa, Dandar said, although at this stage it was unclear how many A321neos it would switch to from its 120 A320neo order, or when any final decision would be made.
flynas will run flights to new summer destinations in June 2019, with direct flights to Batumi and Tbilisi in Georgia, Vienna in Austria, Baku in Azerbaijan, Trabzon in Turkey, and Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Flynas is also considering wide-body aircraft for its future development, Bandar said he was looking at both the Airbus A330neo and Boeing 787-9 models. However, any orders were a long way off, "Unless we receive the offer that we are expecting we will not conclude any deal," he said.
The low-cost airline has also recently announced the launch of its new direct international flights between Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and New Delhi, the capital of India, starting from the 1st of July 2019.
flynas stated that it will operate 5 direct flights weekly between King Khalid International Airport and New Delhi India Gandhi International Airport following the opening of flights to Hyderabad last June 2018.

Ms. Schmierer is a special education teacher at Parkview Elementary in Wisconsin who said, "I think it is always a positive if kids can learn to reach outside of themselves to help others. It builds empathy and respect for different perspectives and experiences as well as can show kids they do not have to go through something by themselves--there are always helpers around."Bare Necessities - Helping Others (Kindergarten), "Phil"-ing Good: Philanthropy Lesson (3rd), The Wants and Needs of Making a Difference, and "Phil"-ing Good, the students were able to learn about philanthropy and how they can help others in need.
For the project, each grade level of students participated in a different project. Students in K4-K5 made cards for the elderly who receive meals on wheels. The first and third graders made thank you cards for community first responders. Second graders made welcome bags for children when they enter a local homeless shelter and made freezer meals for a local domestic violence shelter. Volunteers from an Interfaith organization came to help the 2nd graders complete their projects. The students in 4th grade learned from a local women's group about how to turn plastic bags into sleeping mats for homeless people. Then, they made "plarn" (string from plastic bags) for the women's' group to crochet into mats. Lastly, 5th grade students worked with a local nature center to do a clean up around the school and how to identify invasive plant called buckthorn.
Student choice and leadership was displayed by the 4th and 5th grade students being apart of the discussion of what project to assign to their classes. On the other hand, the younger grades showed independence in how they choose to decorate their projects.
With the help of the Learning to Give mini-grant, students were able to purchase food and supplies for freezer meals to donate to domestic violence shelter and items for welcome bags for children entering a local homeless shelter.
"The children learned that there are people in need right in their own community and that they can do something about it," said Schmierer. "I think it also normalizes that it is OK if they are someone who needs help in the future or maybe has gone through some of the things we talked about."
These service-learning projects provided an experience that was more than just sitting and listening, multi-sensory engagement was present in many of the projects. "Students learned about both of these local agencies and how they help people in our community and then students were able to make something tangible and valuable to give back," said Ms. Schmierer. Ms. Schmierer hopes to make service an annual component to Parkview Elementary's character day events which happen twice a school year.

- President-elect Duterte said he was saddened by the death of 5 concertgoers of speculated drug overdose in a Pasay City event last May 21
- He plans to impose stricter measures on parties and concerts to prevent illegal drugs from being "passed around like candy"
- He said while he is still not proclaimed as president, he can only share his insights on the incident
Presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte said he will impose stricter protocols on parties and concerts following the death of 5 people in a music festival in Pasay City last May 21.
"I'm sad that it had to end that way," Duterte said, quoting news reports, "there is nothing definitive… that would indicate that it was otherwise or there is a foul play," as per an article published by GMA News.
Authorities said there are indications that at least 2 of the fatalities were of a drug overdose, but they are looking into the possibility of food poisoning or heat stroke.
Pasay Police investigation division Chief Insp. Rolando Baula said they are also investigating reports on social media that party drugs like "green apple" or "dirty shabs" were being used by some concertgoers.
Duterte acknowledged that said use of illegal drugs is common in outdoor events and even "passed around like candy".
He also said the Pasay police have the jurisdiction over the incident but pointed out that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) could help if drugs were indeed involved, as per an article published by Inquirer.
"If there is an indication of drugs, the PDEA and maybe the NBI would want to pitch in," he said.
According to Duterte, for the time being that he hasn't been yet proclaimed president, he can only provide his insights on the incident.
"After I assume presidency, I would be keen on activities such as these. They would not be banned but regulated for sure," said Duterte,"We cannot prohibit people to assemble at a certain place, crowd together, but we can always regulate…Frisking is not allowed before they enter the area. That's too fascistic. We'll scatter government security to smell around and arrest immediately."

Earlier I noted that Senate Republicans' preferred line on the Blasey Ford allegations (that she was attacked, just not by Brett Kavanaugh and maybe not even as a teenager) makes no sense as anything other than a political tactic. It's transparently cynical. But the national political press has largely accepted it at face value, at least as a good faith position.
Before we move on from this episode, though, let's remember a critical point: We heard this theory first from none other than Ed Whelan, Kavanaugh's friend and confirmation hearing strategist who tried to pin the attack on Kavanaugh's classmate Chris Garrett in a now notorious Twitter thread.

Tasting Notes
The early start to the 2016 growing year gave our Putnam Vineyard a lengthy season to create a rich and expressive wine. We love how this wine shows its sense of place, smelling and tasting so much like the area it's from. Coastal redwood duff and wild bramble berry aromas lead the way, with deep and plush candied berry compote luring you in to the glass for the first sip. The mouth is dense and lush, with layers of blackberry and black raspberry enfolded by sandalwood and a hint of herbs de Provence. Sweet berry pie notes linger on the extended finish.
Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast.
Vineyard Notes
We started sourcing fruit from the Annapolis area of the Sonoma Coast in 2013, and have enjoyed the fruits of our labor ever since. Putnam Vineyards is a family owned and operated vineyard nestled in the extreme Sonoma Coast, about six miles from the ocean. With a cool climate and high annual rainfall, the growing season is long and the grape maturation slow. The 32-acre vineyard is just above the fog line and sits among giant redwoods native to the area. The gravely soil and deficit irrigation creates stressed, naturally low yielding vines, which produce thick skinned fruit, small berries, and concentrated flavors. The wines from the area have beautifully developed tannins and a soft, plush texture.
Winemaker Notes
The fruit was hand sorted and gently layered into two open top fermenters. The must was cold-soaked for 5 days in order to gently extract color, spice and fruit characters, while mitigating harsher tannins. The fruit is punched down between 1 and 3 times per day depending on the stage of fermentation, and character of the lot. Two of our favorite barrels chosen accentuate the innate depth and richness of the fruit. The Seguin Moreau Icone barrel adds a smoky mushroom while the Taransaud barrel fills out the middle with its classic richness. The wine is racked in March to blend barrel flavors and clarify then put back to barrel to soften the rich tannins before bottling in April of 2018.
Food Pairing Notes
Big and bold, this is a wine that wants equally outgoing foods, like tea smoked duck breast, herb crusted leg of lamb, venison and wild mushroom stroganoff, ratatouille, or a pecorino cheese with peppercorns.

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
Quite a stylish outfit from the site:
@nikkielizdemere We'll be rolling out photos and Q&As with a number of fashion bloggers as we progress. Hope folks like them!
Hey guys. Seth from Cloth here. Happy to answer any questions! We just went live.
@sethporges congrats!
Hey Seth - I know you were doing a ton of writing/speaking and then decided to double down on this. Out of all the things you could be working on, why this?
@eriktorenberg It just seemed like we had struck a nerve. After spending a long time talking to users of the original Cloth (which was a non-social wardrobe management tool), we realized that there was a great need for something in this space that wasn't quite there. Folks were telling me again and again how they liked the old Cloth because it was quick and easy, and made their lives easier instead of giving them more work. Well, using that as our starting point, we asked ourselves: "What other natural behaviors in terms of getting dressed and inspired aren't properly catered to with existing tech?" And then got to work to fix that.
Upvote (2)Share
@sethporges What are the major changes between the old Cloth and the new?
Congrats Seth, Wray & Bradford!
@timanglade Thanks! We're really excited.
Hey Seth I think its pretty cool to see you suggesting clothes based on weather. Could you talk a little bit about the design decisions behind this? Are people tagging things based on weather, or is it more automatic based on what they wear? Also what other cool things are you thinking about in the future? Anything around location?
@Anderson760 Sure! This feature dates back to one of our earlier, non-social beta versions of Cloth. The original version was a simple non-social way to remember your favorite outfits, so including weather was appealing to us because we could do it automatically. It is easy to detect the weather, and let the machine put that data over your outfits as a layer/filter. It just seemed like a natural idea for us. So while folks can manually tag weather for an outfit (if inputting an outfit for another day or season, for example), it's all done automatically as well. Location is huge for us in terms of street style. We love the idea of people seeing whats going on on the streets across the world. That's a huge part of our mission/goal.

Chritopher Kah's New Project Doesn't Go By Without Notice: BOTH ROLAND AND ELEKTRON SHARED THEIR LOVE FOR HIS APPROACH. THIS NEW CONCEPT IS A WAY FOR ME TO EXPRESS MYSELF MORE FREELY, CHRISTOPHER SAYS.
Christopher Kah's music is focused on the darker side of house and techno and appeared on major labels including International Gigolo Records, Cr2 and Get Physical . He collaborated with Anthony Rother on Datpunk and collaborated with DJ Hell for more than 2 years which resulted in a recent series of very strong releases.
''The gear I use is very minimum with maximum result, a drum computer, synthesizer and sampler combined with dj-ing. Instead of mixing only 2 tracks simultaneously, I customize the tracks the way it feels right at that moment. The possibilities are just endless when combining analog and digital equipment. I want to push the mix into another dimension, Closer to the public, and see how they react''
His remixes for Dave Clark's ''Wisdom of the Wise'' and the legendary track ''House of God' are just one of the many things to look out for this year……
Christopher Kah is a multidisciplinary electronic music producer and performer from France. He mastered the art of sound design and his performance on stage is always an evolving concept of dj-ing, synthesizers, drumcomputers and samplers. His music is focused on the darker side of techno and house, with fresh and unique sounding deep grooving basslines, haunting riffs and moody pads.
Christopher has 10 years of Classical & Jazz music experience as an organ player. When he started to producing in 2001, it was a revelation for for him. 'With electronic music you have unlimited bank of sounds and I believe we capture sounds from space, and then render them to the people'. At his first gig in 2005 he remembers being given a note from someone in the audience which said: 'Thanks for the trip'. That is what Christopher had in mind, making people travel through his story.
His productions and remixes have appeared on a number of major labels including International Gigolo Records, Cr2 and Get Physical Music and are played and supported by established artists such as Laurent Garnier, Dr Motte & Dave Clarke. As one of the few people he collaborated with DJ Hell for more than 2 years what resulted in many tracks and remixes.

The bogy beast was a small one. It was only about sixteen feet when it stood on its hind legs which it did as soon as it reached the first hut. It had to be on all fours to walk. The hair of the beast turned out to be more like shredded steel than hair. It was sharper than a porcupine and able to reject every bullet short of a direct hit. The snout was more like a wolf than a bear and it had some extra teeth. It was impossible to tell if it was a reptile or a mammal, but it was easy to see what it had in mind. The hut was torn to shreds and then it nosed around in the wreckage for any tasty morsels it might find. When it found nothing, flames came with a roar and crisped the remains of the hut.
"Fire!" Lockhart yelled and gunfire burst out from every corner. The beast was surrounded except for the avenue by which it arrived. Several bullets penetrated and the beast roared and turned. It reared up in the midst of the withering fire and swiped at the air with its great caws as if trying to tear the bullets from the air.
It roared again and spread fire in a circle around its body. The gunfire paused while people ducked behind their cover. Then the gunfire started again, but overall it had minimal effect until Lieutenant Harper had the idea of going for the eyes. She paused, but only long enough to clip her scope to the rifle. When she fired, she certainly struck something. The beast reared its head back, roared and shot a stream of flame straight into the sky.
With a final roar of protest, the beast returned to all fours, turned and galloped out of the village. It ran very close to Boston who wisely crouched down in the shadows and tried to become as invisible as possible. Then it was gone.
The people came pouring from their hiding places around the village and began to celebrate, but Lockhart knew better. "It is wounded now and that will make it more dangerous."
"We must track it while we can," Roland said.
"Unfortunately," Mingus agreed, "And I will be here when you get back."
"Won't that be dangerous?" Alexis asked.
"Yes," Lincoln said. "That is why you need to stay here with Boston, your father and Doctor Procter." She kissed him, but Boston heard.
"Heck no," she said. "I'm going. I'm good on a hunt. Probably better than you."
"Lieutenant, you stay in case the beast doubles back," Captain Decker commanded.
"Yes, sir," Lieutenant Harper was quicker with the sir this time, but it was clear she was unhappy once again with the order.
"Okay redneck," Lockhart smiled at Boston when that was settled. "You lead the way."
Boston grabbed Roland and together they started out front. It was actually an easy trail. The purple puss that served for blood in the beast glowed a little, like neon. It was probably fire inspired. When they reached the edge of the woods, the broken branches and crushed saplings made the trail even easier.
"I don't like this," Boston whispered. She looked back. Lockhart and Lincoln were alert and trying to listen for what they could not see in the dark. Captain Decker had his night goggles on, but it was hard to see behind a tree. "This trail is too easy."
Roland paused and looked at her. He knelt and she knelt beside him as the company came to a halt. "A bogy beast is clever, but like a fox, not a person," he assured her before he turned to the group and spoke a bit louder. "It stopped here and I would guess it licked its wounds. The thing is, if it makes it until morning, it will rest underground and be all but healed in a day."
"So we have to find it before it rests," Lockhart said even as the beast reared up in front of them. One roar of fire and a backwards swipe of a claw caught all three who were standing there. Captain Decker was knocked to the ground while Lincoln and Lockhart crashed into the trees. All were temporarily knocked senseless. The beast looked down on the two still kneeling on the ground and roared fire again. Roland quickly hovered over Boston.
"I set a shield," Roland shouted next to Boston's ear. They still felt the heat and Roland's back turned red, but the fire was deflected. All the same, Boston screamed. It was answered by a white light in the distance that raced toward them.
The bogy beast reared up, determined to let its claws do what the flame failed to do, but it also saw the streaking light and certainly sensed something. It began to turn away and let out a very different sound as the unicorn leapt over Roland and Boston and drove its horn deep into the beast's chest. The beast let out a chilling noise as it clawed the unicorn and knocked it away. Then it stumbled as its putrid, flaming purple insides came pouring out of the gaping hole.
Decker was up by then and they began to blast away at the hole. The beast collapsed. It kept up that unnerving sound of pain and surprise until its body quit wiggling. Captain Decker shot out the eye Harper had missed as his way of making sure the beast was dead.
"My guess is the bogy could not see the unicorn out of the eye Lieutenant Harper shot until it was too late," Roland surmised.
Lockhart came up limping and leaning on Lincoln, but he waved them off. He would be fine, shortly. Meanwhile, Boston had run to the unicorn. It was injured, terribly.
Keng chose that moment to come running up. "I missed it? I missed everything!" He was not happy, but the others smiled at the young man.
"Glen! Please help me." Boston called.
"I – I can't," Keng said.
Then someone else showed up. She glowed in the night and Roland immediately fell to his knees. It took the others a bit longer to feel the awesome fear of this person. Then they joined the elf on their knees. It was not quite like the angel, but something in that direction.
"I go away for a few days and the whole place falls apart," the woman complained.
Keng, of course, kept to his feet, and the woman gave him a curious look before she did something to tone down her glow. "Who are these people?" She asked Keng.
"These are friends of mine," Keng said proudly, and to the woman's stare he added, "What? I can have friends." The woman said nothing, so Keng introduced the five who were there. "They have fallen back in time, but they are trying to get home. You could maybe help them." He was not exactly asking.
The woman stepped up to Lockhart and looked down into the man's eyes. Lockhart had to look away before she spoke again. "Three days is the most even the gods are permitted to bend time. It will not help these."
"Yes, of course. I knew that," Keng said. "Oh, yes, this is Nagi. She is the goddess of my village." He remembered himself then and went to his knees, but Nagi just made a face before she smiled.
"A bit late for that," she said and stepped in close for a look at the bogy beast. Then she stepped up to stand behind Boston who was wracked with tears and crying all over the unicorn. "A gift for defending my village," she said and waved her hand. The unicorn was made whole, and as it stood, Boston's tears turned from sorrow to joy. "The bogy does not belong here and neither does this creature. There are no unicorns in this part of the world at present so you must take your pet with you when you leave." Boston simply nodded as the goddess turned her back and returned to the others. The unicorn bowed to the goddess in the way of horses. It touched its horn to the earth before it turned and bounded off into the woods.
The goddess did not seem concerned with that as she stepped up to Keng and made him stand once again. She walked once around him like a person might examine a prize animal. She began to glow again, but in a different sort of way. Every male eye became fastened to her like they were glued to her as she spoke her conclusion. "I think I could have use for this one." She smiled at her own thoughts. "Yes, I will," she said and vanished.
When they returned to the village and reported their success – without mentioning the goddess on Keng's insistence, Mingus put a damper on their celebration.
"But that means the bogy man is still out there, somewhere, and he is not going to be happy."
"We will burn that bridge when we come to it," Captain Decker suggested.
"Meanwhile, get some sleep," Lockhart ordered.
"I vote we stay here a couple of days to heal and help these people rebuild," Alexis said as she laid hands on her brother to heal his scorched back.
"I think the goddess would rather see us move on in the morning," Lincoln responded, and he told her, Mingus and Doctor Procter of their encounter.
Doctor Procter appeared thoughtful. "Perhaps we should move on tonight."
Lockhart did not answer the man directly. All he said was "Get some rest."

Town of Calvillo
Take your pick of superb jewelry in the town of Calvillo.
Calvillo is 52 km west of the city of Aguascalientes (495) 956.0039 Ext. 4162
The town of Calvillo has developed a cottage industry making organic and mineral jewelry.
The main materials of organic jewelry are wild seeds, naturally-dried fruit, dry leaves, wood, stone, quartz and bird feathers, which are collected after migration, respecting nature.
A range of jewelry is made with these primary materials; including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, diadems and scarves.
Calvillo also stands out for its use of Fire Agate in its jewelry. This is a rare gemstone formed thirty million years ago.
Fire Agate is extracted from mines in villages nestled in the sierra and you can find it in those villages as well as in some jewelry stores in historic downtown selling a range of items, such as necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. Apparently it is worth quite a lot, especially once polished.
If you'd like to take a souvenir home from Calvillo, something made from Fire Agate or organic jewelry would be an excellent choice.

Of course you need another cat! But you don't need to feed this one or clean up the kitty litter. But they'll still be your cat's new best friend. The 15″ diameter round interior is suited for average to smaller pets, up to 12 lbs.
Your pets don't care how cute their stuff is; they like it for all the right reasons! The Himalayan wool we use for our toys and beds is not chemically cleansed, so it has a lot of lanolin in it. Lanolin is the natural oil unique to sheep's wool and it reminds cats of the scent of their mother. Lanolin oil conditions their paws and helps to keep their fur healthy and shiny.
Using a technique called wet-felting, the only materials used in the making of these items are pure wool, natural soap and water. We use safe, non-toxic dyes in an environmentally sustainable low-impact dying process which uses less energy and produces less waste byproduct. Our products are handcrafted by women in Nepal; your purchase supports these artisans and their families, helps raise them out of poverty, and keeps crafting traditions alive.
Care: The lanolin in the wool is anti-microbial and odor resistant which keeps our wool beds and toys naturally clean. They can be vacuumed or spot cleaned with a sponge or vacuumed. If a bed becomes very soiled, turn it inside out, and wash it in the delicate cycle of a washing machine. You will find care instructions on your purchase.

Frustration Alert
Social media is clearly shifting how we communicate. It is also changing our brains as we become more and more attached (addicted) to this form of communication. Some think it is the end to face-to-face communication. Or that teenagers don't know how to have a conversation anymore. I agree that it is changing our brains and how we think, but am still not convinced that it ruins conversations or that teens no longer know how to have conversations. I mean how many teen-age boys know how to speak more than five words at a time anyway? 😉
Regardless, this change is happening and we can't really stop it. We can only learn about it and adjust our expectations of what communication really is now.

hoopla has been adding some noteworthy new releases to its collection. While they're not blockbusters, these limited release films from 2014 include critical darlings and star power – and are available at this very moment!
If you're looking for a few laughs, try Fading Gigolo, a ludicrously funny sex comedy starring John Turturro (who also directed) as said gigolo, pimped out to the women of Brooklyn by his best friend (Woody Allen). If that's too raunchy for you, give Elsa & Fred a shot. This romantic comedy stars Christopher Plummer as a widower who falls under the spell of an impetuous Shirley MacLaine. Or, go for Are You Here, mostly to find out how a talented cast (Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Poehler) and director Matthew Weiner (creater of Mad Men) managed to earn a paltry 7% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes.
For something a bit more serious, go for Night Moves, a thriller about three radical environmentalists (Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard) who plot to blow up a hydroelectric dam in Oregon. For science fiction fans, be sure to check out The Congress, starring Robin Wright as herself – an aging actress who signs away her digital likeness to be used by the studio in any film they choose – from the director of the equally visionary Waltz with Bashir. If you prefer something more grounded in reality, then Exhibition, a British drama exploring the lives of married artists whose lives are interrupted by the sale of their home, or Rhymes for Young Ghouls, a drama about a girl surviving on an Indian reservation that was twice nominated at the Seattle International Film Festival this year.
hoopla has an excellent collection of documentaries, and these 2014 releases are no exception. There's Burt's Buzz, about Burt Shavitz, the founder of Burt's Bees and his complicated relationship with the company. There's James Cameron's Deepsea Challenge, which follows the famed director as he embarks seven miles below sea level to the Mariana Trench. There's Flex is Kings, which takes a look at flexing, a street dance from Brooklyn that requires dancers to be contortionists as well. And find the time to watch The Dog, about a man who robs a bank to pay for his lover's sex change operation – the real-life basis for the essential 70s film Dog Day Afternoon.
Foreign Films.
There's no shortage of fine foreign films in hoopla. If you fancy French, you can find Mood Indigo, the latest from visionary director Michael Gondry, which is a whimsical tale of a woman (Audrey Tautou) who discovers she has a flower growing inside of her lungs. For martial arts fans, there's Special ID, starring Donnie Yen as an undercover cop up against a Chinese organized crime syndicate. Versatile French actress Isabelle Huppert stars in the Italian drama Dormant Beauty that tackles issues of euthanasia, politics, religion and faith. And there is Borgman, an utterly original Dutch import that's one part fairy tale, one part horror and one part melodrama, with one of the most bizarre opening sequences I've ever seen.

Floor trading approached the 1-million Euro mark, with foreign investors abstaining in light of the Greek government's financial provisions expected to be announced by PM Tsipras at the Thessaloniki Trade Fair.
Today's session is mainly suited for traders, and the lack of turnover is obviously going to give the opportunity for quick trading, as the opening turned out.

A study in barbarity: Tearful and terrified, young girls are lined up to undergo a tribal circumcision ceremony in Kenyan village
Photographer Siegfried Modola captured this ceremony in rural Kenya for four teenage girls of the Pokot tribe
More than a quarter of Kenyan women have undergone ordeal, despite the practice being outlawed three years ago
But in many tribes, it is considered a rite of passage that marks the transition into womanhood so girls can marry
By Khaleda Rahman for MailOnline
These pictures show frightened girls lined up before villagers in Kenya to be circumcised – even though the brutal practice is now illegal in the country.
But in many African tribes, traditions are more important than laws and circumcision is considered a rite of passage that marks their transition into womanhood so they can marry.
Reuters photographer Siegfried Modola captured this ceremony in rural Kenya for four teenage girls of the Pokot tribe, in Baringo County.
Draped in animal skin and covered in white paint, the girls squat over large stones in the remote village after being circumcised – a life-threatening custom banned in the country three years ago.
More than a quarter of Kenyan women have undergone the ordeal, despite government efforts to end the practice in the East African country.
'It's a tradition that has been happening forever,' the father of one of the girls, who asked not to be named fearing reprisal from the authorities, told Reuters from the isolated Pokot settlement some 80km from the town of Marigat.
'The girls are circumcised to get married. It's a girl's transition into womanhood,' he said.
Wrapped in bright coloured shawls, the girls spent the night huddled around a fire in a thatched-roof house as local women gathered to sing and dance in support.
One woman fell into a trance after sipping a local wine.
Circumcision is heavily practiced among the Pokot community, and one of the girls' mothers believes it is a sign of strength.
'The pain will make her strong. She can show the rest of the community that she can endure it,' the woman said after having her daughter circumcised by a Pokot elder donning a beaded neck collar and large brass earrings.
'I'm proud of my daughter for doing this,' she said.
At its most extreme, circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation, involves cutting off the clitoris and external genitalia, then stitching the vagina to reduce a woman's sexual desire.
Anything from razor blades to broken glass and scissors is used.
The U.N.'s Children's Fund, UNICEF, says more than 125 million women have been cut in the 29 countries in Africa and the Middle East where genital mutilation is carried out.
Kenyan law provides for life imprisonment when a girl dies from the procedure, which in addition to excruciating pain, can cause haemorrhage, shock and complications in childbirth.
It set up a prosecution unit in March and is currently investigating 50 cases.
Officials are optimistic they can force a change in attitude but still worry that the practice is too ingrained for legal threats to have an impact.
'We face a myriad of challenges,' said Christine Nanjala, who heads the prosecuting unit. 'You will find the practice is something highly valued. You will keep quiet and you will not report it – if you do, you face reprisal.'
Still, Nanjala was optimistic that genital cutting would be eventually wiped out. 'Not tomorrow but it will end, she said. 'At the end of the day, without hope, you have nothing.'

If You're Not Cross Training, You're Doing it Wrong
In the convenience store industry, flexibility isn't just helpful, it's a job requirement. That's why cross training is so important. When employees are trained for more than one position, it allows you to quickly handle staffing shortages and unexpected busy times. The benefits of cross-training don't just apply to you – it also helps your employees.
How Employees Benefit from Cross Training
When employees are trained in multiple positions, they gain more than just knowledge. Cross-training also offers these benefits to employees:
- They feel more connected to the team and the store as a whole. When employees are all working toward a common goal, teamwork will flourish.
- They gain an appreciation for the challenges in other positions. Sometimes, a fresh perspective is the only way to help employees appreciate other viewpoints.
- They create a career path. Cross-training can open employees' eyes to the long-term opportunities available in the convenience store industry.
- They develop camaraderie with more of their teammates. Sometimes, employees get stuck in the bubble of their own tasks and don't interact with each other. When they're trained in multiple positions, they get to know others on their team.
How to Use Your LMS to Cross Train
Employers used to shy away from in-depth cross-training because it was hard to justify the time investment. Either that, or employees would get pushed into positions they weren't ready for, only to fall short of expectations. Online learning management systems make it much easier to develop a cross-training program. Use your LMS to develop custom learning paths for each employee. That way, employees will be prepared to competently pitch in wherever you need them, whenever you need them.

In the modern corporatist state, regulations and their operationalization are far more complex than any mind can possibly understand — causing insuperable problems for the limited mind of your Congressman:
Economist Friedrich Hayek explained in 1945 why centrally controlled "command economies" were doomed to waste, inefficiency, and collapse: Insufficient knowledge. He won a Nobel Prize. But it turns out he was righter than he knew. In his "The Use of Knowledge In Society," Hayek explained that information about supply and demand, scarcity and abundance, wants and needs exists in no single place in any economy. The economy is simply too large and complicated for such information to be gathered together. Any economic planner who attempts to do so will wind up hopelessly uninformed and behind the times, reacting to economic changes in a clumsy, too-late fashion and then being forced to react again to fix the problems that the previous mistakes created, leading to new problems, and so on. Market mechanisms, like pricing, do a better job than planners because they incorporate what everyone knows indirectly through signals like price, without central planning. Thus, no matter how deceptively simple and appealing command economy programs are, they are sure to trip up their operators, because the operators can't possibly be smart enough to make them work.
Hayek's insight into economics and regulation is often called "The Knowledge Problem," and it is a very powerful notion. But recent events suggest that it's not just the economy that regulators don't understand well enough — it's also their own regulations.
This became apparent when various large businesses responded to the enactment of Obamacare by taking accounting steps to reflect tax changes brought about by the new health care legislation. The additional costs created by Obamacare, conveniently enough, weren't going to strike until later, after the November elections.
But both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations require companies to account for these changes as soon as they learn about them. As the Atlantic's Megan McArdle wrote:
"What AT&T, Caterpillar, et al did was appropriate. It's earnings season, and they offered guidance about , um, their earnings."So once Obamacare passed, massive corporate write-downs were inevitable.
They were also bad publicity for Obamacare, and they seem to have come as an unpleasant shock to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., who immediately scheduled congressional hearings for April 21, demanding that the chief executive officers of AT&T, John Deere, and Caterpillar, among others, come and explain themselves.
Obamacare was supposed to provide unicorns and rainbows: How can it possibly be hurting companies and killing jobs? Surely there's some sort of Republican conspiracy going on here!
More like a confederacy of dunces. Waxman and his colleagues in Congress can't possibly understand the health care market well enough to fix it. But what's more striking is that Waxman's outraged reaction revealed that they don't even understand their own area of responsibility – regulation — well enough to predict the effect of changes in legislation ..
UPDATE: Jeffrey Friedman and Andrew Haldale on the same topic. Here's Haldale:
Complex control of a complex system is a recipe for confusion at best, catastrophe at worst. Complex control adds, not subtracts, from the Knightian uncertainty problem. The US constitution is four pages long. The recently-tabled Dodd Bill on US financial sector reform is 1,336 pages long. Which do you imagine will have the more lasting impact on behaviour.
Hayek somewhere says virtually the same thing. HT Arnold Kling.
