Debt reduction proposal would cut Social Security, Medicare and important education programs
Plan amounts to another slam against middle class
WASHINGTON - December 01, 2010 -
The bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform issued its final report today, offering a host of ideas to reduce the federal deficit by $828 billion by 2015.
"We cannot afford cuts in programs that help children, which is what the Fiscal Commission proposes," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "Last year, one in five children lived in poverty, and those rates are increasing. Education is a key to change that dynamic. The federal government consistently has underfunded education programs targeting those children most in need."
Currently, the federal government is only funding 16.9 of the promised 40 percent under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), leaving an annual $15.8 billion tab for states and localities to pick up. Title I, the program designed to assist our country's most economically disadvantaged students, has not received the funding promised under NCLB. Currently, the program receives about 58 percent of the authorized level, leaving a funding gap of $10.5 billion. Cumulatively, the funding gap since 2001 is $75.7 billion.
Among other proposals that would harm middle class workers, the plan undermines the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance, shifts additional costs to Medicare participants, and raises the retirement age for Social Security recipients.
"The Commission has zeroed in on America's workers by suggesting that we raise the retirement age, cut Social Security benefits, and even tax employer-sponsored health benefits," said Van Roekel. "Our members understand that Congress and the Administration must address long-term economic concerns, but the Fiscal Commission is offering proposals that unfairly balance the federal budget on the backs of the elderly and middle class."
"We need a plan for prosperity, not for austerity, a plan that would emphasize investment in people and infrastructure," Van Roekel added. "We should be focusing on investing in education, skills, and the well-being of our people."

A fairer deal for pneumococcal vaccination
Nathan FordI; Daniel BermanII; Lisa FrigatiIII
IMédecins sans Frontières, Johannesburg, firstname.lastname@example.com
IIAccess to Essential Medicines Project, Médecins sans Frontières, Geneva
IIIRed Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital, Cape Town
To the Editor: In South Africa, 51 300 children under 5 die each year; pneumonia is a leading cause.1 The incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease has more than doubled in the last two decades, to >500 per 100 000 children. This rise is associated with the HIV epidemic, with 75% of cases of invasive pneumococcal disease occurring in HIV-infected children.2
The launch of PCV-7 as part of the primary immunisation programme in September 2008 was welcome news. However, recent negotiations by other developing countries have shown that South Africa is paying far more than it should for a sub-optimal vaccine formulation.
In September 2009, the Brazilian Government negotiated a deal to obtain GSK's 10-valent vaccine for $US17 per dose, falling to $US7 in time.3 Despite Brazil having an almost identical GDP to that of South Africa,4 the South African government is paying $26 per dose for Wyeth's 7-valent vaccine (in the private sector, the cost is as high as $US60 per dose). While PCV-7 covers 70% of invasive isolates and is therefore a worthwhile vaccine to roll out, PCV-10 would increase coverage to up to 85%.5
The usual justification given by manufacturers for the high cost of medicines and vaccines is the need to make a return on their R&D investment; but Wyeth has already netted its manufacturer over US$2.7 billion in worldwide sales of PCV-7.6 Given that South Africa participated in the clinical development of pneumococcal vaccines,7 it would seem reasonable that the country be accorded a fairer price, particularly because the high cost is hampering implementation in some provinces. A more affordable vaccine would encourage the provision of adequate stocks across the country and allow vaccination plans to include a catch-up strategy for older children to ensure maximum coverage.
South Africa's Department of Health can ill afford to pay for costly interventions when cheaper alternatives exist. A recent Treasury report made it clear that the health sector needed to make efforts to achieve optimal value for money; insisting on a better price for PCV would be a good place to start.

This wasn't specifically addressed, but I got the impression that this would not be the case when I toured the space on Wednesday...however, the reverse does appear to be true (or at least will be in the future). Nick has said in the Next thread that tables for dinner at Next will occasionally become available to Aviary customers.

Calendar - Mobile & Desktop usage
Use the calendar view for both mobile and desktop or set it up responsively. The main difference between the two rendering modes - controlled by the
touchUi setting - is how the calendar is laid out.
When set to
false the component shows up suitable for larger screens and pointer interaction while setting it to
true renders it suitable for touch screens.
Calendar - App & Website usage
Use it on any custom input or with Mobiscroll form fields. The calendar is shown on input focus, but it can also be triggered on a button click or it can be embedded directly into the page.
Let's say you already have a form and you want to enhance date selection. You can use it on existing fields or new fields.
Calendar - Mobile display modes
Different display modes can be used for mobile and desktop. On mobile, the calendar can be rendered at the top or bottom of the screen, in the center of the screen, anchored to an input or any object for that matter and it can also be embedded in any inline content.
Calendar - Desktop display modes
Use the available display modes on mobile and desktop. On larger screens you have slightly different rendering options suitable for the large form-factor and pointer interaction. Use the top, bottom and center modes for getting it in front of the users or stay in context and anchor it to the input.
Calendar - Responsive
Set up the Calendar to behave responsively. Use the appriopriate positioning and rendering based on the screen size. You can have a bottom positioned calendar on mobile, a popover anchored to the input on tablet and desktop display on large sceens.
All this can be configured under the
responsive setting where you pass the options for each breakpoint.
responsive: { xsmall: { ... }, small: { ... }, medium: { ... }, large: { ... }, xlarge: { ... } }
Calendar - Date picker
Use the calendar for single and multiple day selection for both desktop and mobile. Link the calendar to any field - plain HTML or angular component - or embed it right into a page. Navigate the months with the arrows or by swiping.
When linked to an
input, the calendar will automatically open on
focus and
click. You can turn it off and only show it on a button click.
Use it on any custom input or with Mobiscroll form fields.
See how the calendar looks with different mobile rendering modes or how it looks on desktop.
Calendar - Date & Time picker
Besides date-only functionality you can use the component as a combined date and time picker. Select the date from a calendar view and the time woth an hour and minute picker.
Show the date and time in localized formats or customize it to your needs. Take a look at some of the formatting options available.
Calendar - Multiple day picker
Multi-date select is useful when users need to pick from a set of dates that are not necessarily in a range. Passing
select: 'multiple' or a number, like
select: 5 enables multiple day selection.
The latter also sets a maximum selectable, so passing
select: 5 means a maximum number of five dates can be selected.
See how the calendar looks with different mobile rendering modes or how it looks on desktop.
Calendar - Week selection
You can select entire weeks instead of single days. This is useful when users need to select a full week instead of a variable range. It can be activated with
selectType: 'week'. Single or multiple weeks can be selected based on the
select: 'single','multiple' or integer setting.
You can also control the day the week starts with the
firstDay setting.
Calendar - Variable week view
The calendar view supports variable weeks. Save space by only displaying one or two weeks or go for a full month where it makes sense.
Use the
weeks setting that expects a number of rows. The default is six weeks, but feel free to play around.
Calendar - Week to month view
While the calendar supports variable week views there are cases when you don't want to commit to a single setup. Get the best of both worlds by dynamically letting the users switch between a week-view and a full month-view.
Use the compact
week-view to save space and programatically switch to a
month-view when users need the full context of a month.
Calendar - Multi month view
Calendar - Min & max values
Use the
min and
max settings to restrict selection.
This is useful to make picking a date faster and to reduce user errors.
A great example is scheduling. You want to disable past dates and maybe enable selection from the next six months. Simply restrict values with the min and max.
Calendar - Appointment booking
Book single or multiple appointments depending on the use-case or set up recurring date and time selection. Limit the available dates with the
min and
max settings. Make dates un-selectable with the
invalid setting.
Load additional information in labels that helps people book the appointment. This can be pricing, available spots or anything you would like. You can show it as labels, mark days or color days. It can be loaded on demand from an external API like in this example.
A great example for a recurring booking is resource allocation. Take the booking of a basketball court for two hours ever Wednesday from 8PM. The example below lets you select a day of a week and an available time (served with two hour increments) and then it colors the days in a recurring manner for visibility.
The calendar can be displayed inline with one or more months or linked to an input. Explore the mobile rendering modes or see how it looks on desktop.
Calendar - Marked, colored & labels
For additional information you can mark days with colored dots, add labels or completely color the background of the days. This offers means to add more information to the calendar that is valuable to users. Take a look at this example of marked days and description.
You can add these with
exact dates,
days of week,
days of month and
recurring dates.
When processing a lot of data you can load the marked days, labels, colors dynamically in the
onPageChange event.
Calendar - Date types
The calendar works with multiple data types:
- JS date objects -
new Date(1995, 11, 17, 15, 24)
- ISO date strings -
- Moment.js objects -
moment([2018, 3, 27, 12, 15])
Calendar - Formatting values
Set the date and time format accordingly. Formats are inherited from the localization settings, but can be overriden with the
timeFormat settings.
Calendar - Disabling values
Disable dates with the
invalid setting. It supports
exact dates,
recurring dates and
Time can also be invalidated by passing
exact values and
Using invalids is essential to a great UX. First make sure you have the min & max values right and then work your way back to invalids.
If you would like to re-enable dates inside an invalid range, you can do it with the
valid setting.
Having it set up correctly not just enhances the UX, but improves performance.
Calendar - Marked days
When using marked days, users might be interested to see what each dot means. You can place a listview below for describing what everything means.
Calendar - Showing week numbers
Enable week numbers with the
weekCounter setting. Counting yearly and monthly are both supported.
Use it whenever it is important to users having the week number in front of them. With
weekCounter: 'year' you can start the counter from the first until the last week of the year.
weekCounter: 'month' restarts the counter for every month.
Calendar - Month change direction
For a great user experience the calendar can be navigated a couple of different ways:
- By clicking or tapping on the little arrows above the calendar body
- With touchpad swipe gestures
- By grabbing and dragging the month with the mouse cursor
- With fluid swipe gestures on touchscreens
All this works in two directions: vertically and horizontally. Change the month change direction with
calendarScroll: 'vertical' and
calendarScroll: 'horizontal'.
Calendar - Setting values
Values can change a couple different ways: though defaults, intracting with the UI or programatically. The calendar defaults to
now, which can be easily overridden with the
defaultValue setting.
Values are set by interacting with the component and making a selection or it can be done programatically with the
setVal method.
Use the
buttons setting for showing/hiding
now or add custom buttons.
Calendar - RTL Support
Shipping with full RTL support, choose left-to-right or right-to-left with the
rtl setting.
The value is inherited from the localization settings and can be manually overriden by explicitly setting it
true or
Calendar - Theming capabilities
The look and feel of the calendar can be deeply customized. There are four levels of customization:
- Base themes: Choose between
Android Materialand
- Light or dark: Every theme has a
darkvariant. Setting the
'auto'will switch based on system settings.
- Custom themes: Use the theme builder to customize the colors and make it match your brand.
- Custom CSS: If you need further customization, the sky is the limit with CSS overrides.
You can also see how every example looks by changing the theme from the header.
Calendar - Lifecycle events
The calendar ships with different event hooks for deep customization. Events are triggered through the lifecycle of the component where you can tie in custom functionality and code.
While users interact with the UI events like
onInit ... will be triggered.
Interact with the example and check the event log for the output.
Calendar - Calendar systems
The calendar supports multiple calendar systems. You can control it with the
calendarSystem setting, and it supports the following options:
- Gregorian - it is included by default
- Jalali - it is the default system of the Persian calendar and is inlcuded within the Farsi language pack
- Hijri - it is included in the Arabic language pack
Calendar - Localization
The components are fully localized. In case of the calendar this covers date and time format, button copy, rtl and more. You can see how each example shows up by clicking on the small flag icon or checking the examples below.

This morning, I left said child and drove off to the school with those who were better prepared.
The rule at our house is that you're not allowed to walk to school alone, so here's the quandary....How is this kid going to get there?
This morning, finally, I laid it out. Here are the three ways getting out the door can happen:
- Fed, dressed, wearing a coat and a backpack with a lunch and all required papers inside. Arriving to school on time. (The ideal situation. No?) This one includes a smiling mother and happy children.
- Fed, dressed, wearing a coat and a backpack with a lunch and all required papers inside but arriving late to school. This would mean two trips up to the school for me (one with those who are in situation #1 above and those who are not). But, here's the catch....This kind of trip because of stealing my time to take the second drive, will cost in either money or time. This one also includes smiling mother because she realizes that there will be paybacks, but not so happy children as there is payment to be made.
- Possibly not fed, dressed, wearing a coat or backpack or not having all required papers inside said backpack. This really depends on what kinds of choices that child makes for the morning. In other words, I'm done nagging and reminding. If this is the case, school will become a "come as you are" party. Good times! My honest hope is that one of my children will choose this just once. I'm thinking it'd be the last time we'd have a problem. This option includes smiling mother but possibly cold, hungry and most likely, embarrassed children, who are not happy.
As far as this morning went, this particular child chose option #2. In discussing the inconvenience of a second trip, the possibilities of paying me in the money that was just received from the tooth fairy just this morning or paying me in work after school, this child chose work. Haha! As a side note, this particular kid is not my most diligent worker, so I'm not going to nag with that either. It will quickly come down to a cash reward for me if there is even one reminder. There...problem solved for both of us. So thankful for yesterday's lost tooth.
So, today was our last late day for the year. It's also the last morning of stressing over their foolish choices in the morning.

There's something about Bolton's face that always yelled 'extreme sexual deviant' to my subconscious
I just had a phone call with the economy. Jobs poured out of the phone. Great jobs. Tall jobs. Steve Jobs. All at Kinko's.
The crowd cheers. It is full of real Americans (man with hard hat, man with harder hat, gun that is alive).
The United States is doing so good. Other countries are on fire. All the people on fire. Hot fire too. Not us. Our flag is so beautiful.
PRESIDENT TRUMP salutes a flag that says: ARBY'S FOOD IS FINE TO EAT. The crowd howls. They love this flag of America.
I signed a bill. No more swamp. Swamp gone. Swamp is in Mexico now. It's on fire. Great deal for us.
The crowd chants: FOUR MORE SWAMPS! FOUR MORE SWAMPS!
Foreign powers cheat us! Canada steals our milk. China steals our milk. We only had one glass of milk left! Obama drank it. Not fair.
The crowd boos. They wanted that milk.
But like President Ronald Rogaine, I will bring back the milk!
The crowd roars. They still want that milk.
A wall of milk. No criminals get through. Democrats want criminals to have the milk. No way. Milk come from coal. We'll dig it up.
All of the words are mispronounced. The crowd cheers. They hate pronunciations. They love milk. They start digging.
My team helps underprivileged and underrepresented kids and adults prepare for and enter the workforce in good paying jobs and also kids with cancer and shit.
Oh, the missus works at the same company and just got promoted and moved under her manager's manager.
I am like a good person now or something. Saint NoB!

Melania catches Trump in bed with another woman.
Melania: "What is this, Donald?"
Trump: "We're just having a warm conversation. Totally legal and totally cool."
Melania: "You're both naked."
Trump: "Joe Biden planted her here while I was asleep. You need to investigate Joe!"

It's a nice building, I like the location too. To the East of the main tower is some sort of 2/3 story utility building that sandwiches a driveway. That building must be one of the narrowest approved for Manhattan construction in decades
such a fantastic building
I want to live here

Did they photoshop out the railing in that first image? Note its shadow on the ground. Appreciate the calatrava easter egg in that last render
The railing is that black bar at the bottom center of the image.
Was driving in from Jersey on 78 to Holland Tunnel, a route which affords great views of downtown, and this tower looked just like 1 Wall Street (nee Irving Trust co. - one of the most beautiful ever built), except 20 stories taller. Its cladding, massing, crown were beautifully-similar to 1 Wall, so at that distance it could easily pass for a 1920s icon by the same architects. Can think of no better compliment. (Of course, without the deco/period ornament, it can't stand with the pre-wars in the closer views)

'Pants on the Ground' Guy -- NJ Saggy Pants Ban ... IS GENIUS
'Pants on the Ground' Guy NJ Saggy Pants Ban ... IS GENIUS
Two important things -- 1) "Pants on the Ground" auteur General Larry Platt is STILL ALIVE!!! ... and 2) He absolutely loves the new saggy pants ban in New Jersey.
As we reported, the Jersey Shore town of Wildwood has passed a law banning saggy pants from its boardwalk, and it's scheduled to go into effect next month.
But unlike a bunch of famous rappers, legendary "American Idol" anti-sag crusader Platt tells TMZ, "I am happy about the law and would like to see the law passed worldwide."
The 65-year-old General says he's actually talking to politicians in his hometown of Atlanta about getting the same law passed there.
Platt -- who says he'd consider a post with Wildwood PD just to enforce the ban -- adds, "Saggy pants are a disgrace to the community. When you wear your pants on the ground, you look like a fool, and it pulls down people, churches, schools, education and jobs."
Take us home, Larry!

The Righteousness Of God And Savior(Thread begun by rRandyP)
Contemplations based on 2Peter:1
Our God, our Savior they are righteous. "Righteous in what way"? you ask. Follow along with me as we consider one of the more foundational writings of the Apostles Peter kjv@2Peter:1 .
( Return to parent thread: FoundationsOfTheLikePreciousFaith )
kjv@2Peter:1:1 - Righteousness is God's very nature. God can be nothing but righteous. His righteousness is the very foundation of our faith. Because He is and has acted towards us in righteousness we believe and proceed forward with Him. It is righteous that He has given something for us to obtain faith from. It is righteous for Him to have provided His Son as our savior. The actions of His Son on the cross made according to this righteousness toward our benefit are righteous like no other. We believe because of and in His righteousness. We are servants to it. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2a)
kjv@2Peter:1:2 - It is righteous for God to desire grace and peace. Grace and peace with Him and His Son. Grace and peace within ourselves. Grace and peace with one another. Grace and peace with the past present and future. It is righteous for God to have planted that seed of grace and peace by the knowledge of His Son's righteous act and to multiply it therein. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2b)
kjv@2Peter:1:3 - It is righteous for God to have provided all things pertaining to our grace and peace filled life plus godliness through the power displayed in Christ's death and resurrection and full ascension. Without which we of ourselves would have no other means being as dead to it and at complete enmity with it. Righteous as it provides the vehicle necessary to drive us toward His righteous intention of us reaching His calling of glory and virtue. The vehicle being nothing less than the knowledge of His sacrificial Son, our Lord Jesus. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2b)
kjv@2Peter:1:4 - It is righteous for God to have long promised this and established it as truth as it is meant to allow us to partake of His incorruptible divine nature. It is by partaking of His divine nature that we can escape the otherwise inescapable corrupting and corrupted influences of this world upon our decisions and actions and sentiments. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2b)
kjv@2Peter:1:5 - It is righteous that God intends for us to live this very faith (the above mentioned righteousness revealed and imputed by His Son) forward diligently into our daily lives by means of uncommon courage and valor towards His moral excellency. A courage defined by a uncommon unearthly knowledge born in partaking of His divine nature and providence. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2c)
kjv@2Peter:1:6 - It is righteous that God intends for this faith to be diligently lived forward with a temperance inclusive of the spiritual things of God and exclusive of the many all too common corrupting influences of each day. For this temperance to be defined by the perfect work of patience. Patience towards God, patience toward the transforming self, patience for others about to begin or within this very same process. For this patient temperance to be performed from a stance of unfeigned Christ imputed and empowered godliness. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2d)
kjv@2Peter:1:7 - It is righteous that God intends for this daily diligence to be pointed and directed toward and out of brotherly kindness and true agape love. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2e)
kjv@2Peter:1:8-9 - It is righteous that God has provided discernible evidences of the proximity of ones daily diligence to His intended actions by means of correctable fruit. The abundance of such fruit or the lack thereof is solid indication both of the diligence applied and of the field of vision incorporated. Abiding in the knowledge of Christ cannot but provide fruit as these are fruits of the Holy Spirit within/upon us. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2f)
kjv@2Peter:1:10-11 - It righteous that God intends by this daily process of putting forth our faith and examining the evidences to encourage and build the proper use of our faith as it assists us in becoming more assured as to His righteous election and to help us to find the abundant entrance He has laid into His Son's kingdom. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2g)
kjv@2Peter:1:12-15 - It is righteous that God by various means has provided continuous agents of remembrance of these truths as it is our human tendency to allow corruptions to take such fruitfulness back down to our own worldly intellect and resources. Righteous even that these agents suffer greatly or be martyred towards the goal of our continuance in these things. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2h)
kjv@2Peter:1:16-21 - It is righteous that God has revealed in advance and historically confirmed all of this and more through a steady ion wide performance of matters in ways that cannot be approximated nor duplicated by man even though likely viewed by the rebellious as fable because doing such is the solemn proof that it is the "arm of the LORD" ( kjv@Isaiah:53) revealed. (see study guide FoundationsOfFaith2i)

(Santa Ana)— Lee Mallory, who retired in December 2012 from Santa Ana College (SAC) where he served as a professor of English as a Second Language (ESL) for 32 years, has donated a Modern Poetry Archive to the college's Nealley Library. The collection stems from Mallory's longtime interest in writing, and his fervor for promoting poetry in the community. Mallory has authored eight published books and produced the two longest continuously running poetry readings in Orange County.
Mallory's collection, to benefit Rancho Santiago Community College District students of English, literature, and creative writing, is comprised of important correspondence, typescripts, and journal entries relating to the late poets, Charles Bukowski, Kenneth Rexroth, and others, with whom Mallory was personally acquainted. His papers also include scores of Orange County poetry fliers, news stories, photos, signed books and magazines that document the Orange County poetry scene. The library will also acquire a full set of books from Moon Tide Press, of which Mallory was a former founding editor. Material from this collection will periodically be used in displays during National Poetry Month.
"After some 32 years with Santa Ana College's English-ESL Department, I hope this archive will give me a lasting presence on the SAC campus and that it will be of benefit to students," said Mallory, who plans to use his retirement to spend more time with his family and with his writing in Las Vegas.
The collection is currently being processed and not yet available for public use. For more information, please contact Luis Pedroza at email@example.com or 714-564-6707 or Stacy Russo at email@example.com or 714-564- 6712.
