Reducing tricuspid regurgitation with transcatheter valve repair is associated to improved liver function, which is often ignored by many cardiologists. This is especially true in cases with deteriorated liver function prior valve repair. Instead, kidney function did not show any changes.
Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair seems attractive especially in patients with liver failure.
Edge to edge tricuspid valve repair emerged an alternative for inoperable patients, or even all patients, since surgical repair is associated with suboptimal results when it comes to repairing or replacing this valve. Always in the shadow of the aortic and mitral valves, tricuspid failure has significant impact on organs long ignored by many cardiologists (for instance the liver).
Read also: Surgery to Improve Survival in Isolated Tricuspid Regurgitation.
The study included 126 patients treated in a transcatheter repair center between 2016 and 2018. Baseline liver and kidney functions were registered and compared against 30-day and 6-month outcomes.
110 patients survived 6 months after procedure. Among them, kidney function remained stable, including that of patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney failure (baseline glomerular filtration 37.5 ml/min/1.73m² vs 40.1 ml/min/1.73m² at 6 months; p=0.39).
As regards liver function, there was significant improvement at 6 months, observed in transaminase and bilirubin levels. The poorer the baseline function, the more it improved.
Reducing tricuspid regurgitation with transcatheter edge to edge repair is associated with significantly improved liver function, while kidney failure remains stable compared to baseline.
This option appears more and more attractive for inoperable patients or even all patients.

Epicondylitis, commonly referred to as tennis elbow, is a form of tendinitis that causes pain in your arm and elbow. The condition occurs when the tendons connecting your arm muscles to the bone swell up. Usually, this happens when you overuse the arm or do repetitive gripping activities day in and day out. Today, tennis elbow is a common condition and one of the main reasons why people visit their doctors when experiencing elbow or arm pain.
Causes of Epicondylitis
The main cause of epicondylitis is overuse, especially repetitive motions, such as gripping a racquet of some kind and lifting weights. Repetitive motions such as these strain your muscles and put a lot of stress on your tendons. Eventually, that overuse may result in tears in your tissue. Sports that commonly result in tennis elbow include the following:
- Tennis
- Squash
- Racquetball
- Weightlifting
- Fencing
Other activities that may cause tennis elbow include:
- Typing
- Carpentry
- Raking
- Painting
- Knitting
Symptoms of Epicondylitis
If you have epicondylitis, you may experience tenderness or pain in and around your elbow, especially near the bony knob of your elbow. This is where injured tendons meet the bone, causing pain to radiate throughout your lower or upper arm. Certain activities may cause pain to flare up more than others and include:
- Lifting things
- Making a fist or gripping an object
- Shaking hands or opening doors
- Raising your hands or straightening your wrists
Diagnosis of Epicondylitis
If you think you may have epicondylitis, contact your doctor for an exam. During your exam, your doctor may ask you to flex your arm or wrist to pinpoint the source of your pain. Additionally, he or she may order imaging tests, including X-rays or an MRI to get a good picture of your problem and rule out other conditions.
Treatment of Epicondylitis
If you're diagnosed with having tennis elbow, don't worry. In most cases, the condition clears up on its own with proper rest and home remedies. Common treatment options include the following:
- Applying ice packs to reduce swelling or pain
- Using an elbow strap to protect against further strain
- Taking NSAIDs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, to relieve pain and swelling
- Performing simple exercises to reduce muscle stiffness
- Physical therapy
- Steroid injections to alleviate swelling and pain in and around your elbow joint
In some cases, these simple treatments may not be enough to alleviate your epicondylitis. In severe cases, you may require surgery. During a surgical procedure to treat your tennis elbow, your doctor will remove the damaged part of your tendons and repair any remaining part. For the most part, many patients have positive experiences with surgery.
Prognosis of Epicondylitis
Because there are so many effective treatment options available, including surgical options, the prognosis for patients with tennis elbow is a positive one. With the proper rest and self-care, most people with the condition make a full recovery. If your arm or elbow is causing you discomfort and you're unsure whether you have tennis elbow, contact your health care provider today.

Before shifting the protestors, Sangramsingh Nishandar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 1) had appealed to protesters to relocate to Azad Maidan due to disruption in traffic at the Gateway of India.
"There is only one Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) toilet at the Gateway of India, Azad Maidan has all facilities. There is water. We have no objection against your slogans, posters and placards or anything. There were even posters of free Kashmir," the DCP said while appealing students and others to shift their protest to Azad Maidan.
"There are tourists coming here. Thousands of people going to hospitals and locals going to their offices using this route. There are several other andolans parallelly going on. Public peace was disturbed. Protestors also took out a march, which is against the court''s order. Nothing was being followed for the two days. As rules were not followed, we sincerely appeal to you to relocate yourself. We have nothing against the peaceful assembly but I am declaring this assembly is unlawful," he added.
After relocating the protestors forcefully by putting them into buses, Nishandar said: "The roads were getting blocked and common Mumbaikar and tourists were facing problems. We had appealed to protesters many times. We have now relocated them to Azad Maidan."
The protestors while being evicted raised slogans of "Inqilab Zindabad" and "Mumbai Police Murdabad".
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and lyricist Vishal Dadlani had joined the protest being organised by students at the Gateway of India last night.While Kashyap had said that he was there at the protest site to show his solidarity with the students and blamed the government for the attacks in JNU campus, Dadlani had stated that he was there in support of a secular India. The students and activists had gathered here on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, soon after the reports of violence in JNU became public.Placards with "We stand with JNU", "Stop attacks on students" written on them were also seen at the Gateway of India.Politicians, cutting across party lines, had condemned the attack on students which had taken place in JNU on Sunday. They had urged the administration to take nab the culprits and take strict action against those found guilty.More than 30 students were taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre after a masked mob entered the JNU on Sunday and attacked them and professors with sticks and rods.

The sector is expecting an injection of $2.7 billion by 2018 according to a recent report from consultancy firm
, and over 42,000 new hotel rooms are expected to be built across Africa between 2014 and 2017.
As it stands, there are approximately 581,000 hotel rooms across the continent according to a new report from
Hotel Partners Africa
. That equates to approximately 106 rooms per million people.
57% of the continent's rooms are north of the Sahara -- or 435 per million people. Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia contain the lion's share, whilst South Africa also joins the club of nations with in excess of 30,000 rooms.
Sub-Saharan Africa may trail behind in the statistical head-to-head with 76 rooms per million, but the region expects an average growth of 9,000 new rooms per year, with supply expected to grow to 4% annually by 2017. This compares to a relative slow-down in the north, where 5,000 new rooms are anticipated between 2015 and 2017. According to JLL political instability is at least partially to blame, with the same reason ranking second highest in its survey of barriers to investment in Africa.
A better climate for investment
"The investment market in Africa is improving almost daily," says David Harper, head of property services at Hotel Partners Africa.
"More and more people [are] reviewing options more seriously than ever before... In eight countries growth averaged over 6% [in the last six years]... To set that in context, average hotel prices in Europe went up less than 1.5% per annum in the same period."
One factor behind the surge in demand is a resurgent tourism industry, expected to increase 5.7% yearly between now and 2030, significantly higher than the 3.6% anticipated globally.
This, paired with the draw of progressively diversified economies, perhaps explains the increased influence of global hotel brands, whose presence accounts for 22% of total rooms. Such hotels are mostly operated via franchises and management contracts according to JLL, with very few leases.
That being said, approximately 75% of investment in hotel real estate in Africa currently comes from local and regional sources, among them sovereign wealth groups, particularly in the northern region.
Daily room rates may be down in Sub-Saharan Africa from their 2010 peak of $145, but JLL claim the average rate in the first half of 2015 of $118 is due to the appreciation of the dollar in the global currency market.
Diversifying the market
These prices are an attractive prospect for travelers. As fears surrounding the Ebola outbreak dissipate, monitoring company ForwardKeys noted a 6.4% increase in international arrivals to Sub-Saharan Africa in September. Flight bookings from October 2015 to March 2016 are also up 4% on the same period last year.
Development of the sector is an attractive prospect for both investors and customers, and as the spectrum of travelers widens, so too is the variety of accommodation.
"Opportunities are available across various segments, with upper-scale hotels, mid-career hotels and serviced apartments leading the way," according to Harper.
"Hotels outperformed an average of other property investments in 76% of Sub-Saharan countries over the last six years -- and there's no reason to think this will change."

What Is a Digital Keyring?B. Miller
A digital keyring is an electronic gadget that can have a number of different features. Digital picture keyrings are some of the most common types, which allow users to load a favorite picture or set of pictures onto the keyring so they can be viewed anytime. Others will feature a flashlight or other convenient tool. A pricier digital keyring might feature a USB drive, to allow users to carry documents and files with them wherever they go, which can be very convenient. These are frequently given out as marketing items, branded with the name of the company; these keyrings also make popular gifts and stocking stuffers.
Carrying digital photos on a digital keyring is a great way to show them off to others at any time, particularly photos of special events such as a wedding or the birth of a new baby. These digital keyrings are typically fairly inexpensive and feature a small LCD screen that can be switched on or off. It simply connects to the computer, generally through a USB port, allowing users to select a photo or group of photos to add to it. The amount of photos that can be loaded onto the device depends on the amount of memory it has; it is typically not possible to add additional memory to a digital keyring.
Rather than just serving as a digital photo frame, some digital keyrings can also function as a pocket camera or even a digital video recorder. These are much more expensive, and generally with fairly low photo and video quality, but for kids or for those who just want to take quick pictures while on the go, they can be a great choice. Some are designed to be clandestine recorders disguised as car keys, which may or may not be legal depending on the way it is used, so that's important to keep in mind as well.

Of course, a digital keyring does not just refer to a photo or video display and/or recording device. USB keys are common digital keyrings; users can store computer files and documents on these keychains and easily transfer them to different devices or other computers. These are frequently handed out at conferences and events as a type of marketing freebie, but they are also quite inexpensive to purchase in electronics stores or online. Keep in mind that they are easy to lose, however, so it is generally a good idea not to store sensitive information on a digital USB keyring unless it is encrypted.

Vultures United – 'Girls'
When judging an album of cover material, the listener is tasked with remembering and forgetting the original material at once—while the success of the new version should be measured against the original, the cover can and should be considered on its own merits. This task is doubly complicated in the realm of punk rock, since every hit song since the 60's has been covered by (at least) one punk band. So, how does a punk band avoid redundancy and cliché?
Well, if you're Vultures United: Get a killer batch of songs with a unifying theme, bring an inventive and flexible approach to the arrangements, and play the hell out of them. On Girls, the concept is to bring their hell-fire playing to a crop of songs originally sung by women. Of course, there are some obvious choices (X-Ray Specs, Bikini Kill); but there are plenty of oddball choices (Björk) as well as one modern top-40 cover (Ting Tings). Vultures United brings the same conviction and fury to each and every selection, making the album an intriguing listen.
"Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" takes the X-Ray Specs standard into even more aggressive and abrasive territory. Instead of sounding slavish, the song is doused in fanboy kerosene, ignited by the propulsive drumming and flint-and-steel guitars. From their unabashed joy, it's clear that Vultures United idolized Poly Styrene. That they've turned early punk into hardcore is like turning lemons into lemonade: not at all surprising, but so damn refreshing!
Their cover of the Nico classic "These Days" is less traditional, blending acoustic and electric guitar textures in the most natural way. Truly, the end result sounds poignant and powerful without ever sounding schmaltzy. They actually manage to find a bridge between the fingerpicked guitar that Jackson Browne laid down all those years ago and the colossal distortion and smart arrangements of Fucked Up. The track is also deep with layers, and repeated listening will reveal accordions humming along with the guitar and campfire sing-a-long vocals. In a way that a hard-fast thrasher never could, this track highlights the communal and DIY aspects that make punk rock such a life changing experience.
Such oxymoronic moments abound on this thriller. Such as when the hardcore suddenly turns pop-punk on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover "Turn Into." While pop-punk sounds tame, that's not the case here. No more tame than a wolverine on a leash, at any rate, as the distorted guitars prove with their bared teeth. They also manage to recreate the sound effects on the song's guitar solo, a unique blend of tremolo and spring reverb; by dialing back the extremity of these effects, they accent their debt to surf rock. This is a dynamic cover that manages to add piano and ukulele into the mix without disrupting the song's flow or the band's style.
Of course, the top of the pops meets bottom of the barrel approach works best on their shout-sung version of the Ting Tings' "That's Not My Name." The image of a good girl transforming on the dance floor fits incredibly well into punk's tradition of forging your own identity—"They call me quiet, but I'm a riot" indeed! The two worlds meld perfectly, reminding us why the Ramones were originally marketed as "bubblegum" before punk had a name. The singer picks up on this theme, bull-horning the words, even though no one would dare call him "darlin'." They even turn in a traditional dance track breakdown, with the instruments quieting down while a female vocalist steps in. The molten lava meets cotton candy aesthetic erupts again at the end, overloading your senses with sugary power chords.
The band has chosen to release Girls in three different formats, each one offering unique tracklistings and exclusive songs. (Somewhere, there's an obsessive punk rock completist looking for a bridge to jump off of.) The problem, however, is choosing which version (or versions) to buy, since all the songs are solid start to finish. Really, there's no way to go wrong—just think of it as Vultures United's way of giving everyone something special. But they do have some fun packaging ideas, involving pink or purple vinyl for the 7". The band will be scheduling various release shows for the album, due out on December 12.

Apple intend to enter the world of IPTV to compete with services as well as Netflix and Amazon via its new service +Apple TV which had been announced in last March but is yet to be launched.
All in November
Website published a Bloomberg report which stated that Apple plans to launch the service +Apple TV for television broadcast during the month of November with a limited number of sitcoms and TV shows that will increase the number gradually over the months its subsequent amendments for launch.
Companies Amazon and pluck Deluxe provide any new season of the series has paid one but Apple will uses a different approach by launching three episodes in the first day of work and then provide one new episode a week, like network Hulu and HBO.
The price of the subscription in the +Apple TV
Report Bloomberg reported that Apple will provide a +service for Apple TV in exchange for a monthly subscription capacity of the 9.99$ like a news service and music. And of course the user can watch from any device you want, whether smartphone or tablet or smart TV, etc.
Apple will also spend generously on the production of content and display it on +Apple TV like there is a TV comedy drama called The Morning Show spent Apple about $ 300 million to produce two seasons of will be available with the beginning of the launch of the service.
Another report of the newspaper The Financial Times reported that Apple will spend $ 6 billion in 2019, on the production of content compared to the service Netflix, which will spend million to $ 15 million. Also expected to include spending to buy content from production companies and television networks other.

All tangled up when it comes to audio leads? Here are the answers to the most common queries on the subject from SOS readers.
Q. What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced cable?
All audio signal cable is screened, which means that an outer conductor wraps around the other conductor(s) to shield them from electromagnetic interference. The outer screen, which may be made of wire braid, metal foil or conductive plastic, is usually connected to ground so that any induced currents (due to interference) flow directly to ground rather than being allowed to modulate the audio signal. However, screening isn't a perfect solution, which is why balancing was invented.
In a balanced cable, there are two inner conductors, often known as hot and cold. The screen is grounded, as before, but this time the screen is not part of the signal path. More importantly, balanced equipment is designed so that its hot and cold outputs carry the same signal but with the cold signal phase inverted with respect to the hot signal. At the receiving end, the balanced input stage re-inverts the cold signal and adds it to the hot signal, thus restoring the original signal. The clever part is that any interference that makes it through the screen is likely to have virtually the same influence on the hot and the cold conductors (as they are in more or less the same place).
A further type of cable known as Star Quad was developed to further improve the immunity to interference, and this works by having two pairs of internal cables wired in parallel, but spaced (actually woven or plaited) so that any interference induced due to the cable cores not occupying exactly the same position in space is largely cancelled out. Star Quad seems to be used mainly in live sound applications where long cable runs are commonplace, but it is demonstrably more effective than conventional balanced cable.
Q. Are all screened cables much the same, or are some better than others?
Foil or braid screened cables tend to be good from a screening point of view, whereas the type of cable that uses a bunch of unbraided wires wrapped around the outside is less effective, especially if the cable is bent in such a way as to open a space in the screen. Another popular type uses a conductive plastic screen where a metal wire runs alongside the screen to permit connection. Over short distances at line level, most types of screening are adequately effective, though a woven metal screen or a foil screen is likely to be more effective than a conductive plastic or wrapped wire screen.
Q. Can I use the same kind of screened cable for both mic and line signals?
There are no impedance issues with audio signal cables at the lengths used within studios, but you should take into account the fact that mic cables need a combination of good screening and low handling noise. Ease of termination and cable clamping may also be an issue.
Q. Can I use an unbalanced signal with a phantom-powered mic input?
No. You can use a balanced dynamic microphone with phantom power switched on, but the only way to connect an unbalanced source to the same system is to feed it through a balancing transformer first. If you were to connect an unbalanced cable, you would short out one side of the phantom power supply, and though a properly designed phantom supply will be protected against damage in this way, it's not recommended. More seriously, some or all of the phantom power voltage will be applied to the pins of the unbalanced device and this may cause damage to some studio units.
Q. What's the best way to connect unbalanced signal sources to balanced inputs?
The traditional method is to use balanced cable and connect the cold to the screen at the unbalanced end. However, this can sometimes result in ground loop hum problems, so it is safer to connect the unbalanced end of the cable as follows.
Connect the screen to the ground pin via a resistor of between 100Ω and 500Ω or leave it disconnected altogether. Connect the cold core of the cable to the connector pin normally used to connect the screen. Connect the hot core to the connector pin normally used to connect the hot conductor.
Q. Can I use any phono cable for S/PDIF digital signals?
Many people do, and get away with it, but it really isn't a very good idea, as you can end up with clicks and glitches that seem to have no apparent cause. At the high frequencies needed to carry digital signals, cable impedance has a significant effect on the shape of the waveform being transmitted, and S/PDIF signals ideally need to be fed via a 75Ω cable designed specifically for digital data use.
Q. What's the best way to connect a balanced source to an unbalanced input?
You'll need to check your equipment manual for this one, as the way you wire the cable depends on the design of the balanced output stage. In some cases you need to link the cold and screen pins at the balanced end (if the output stage is 'fully floating') while in others you must leave the cold pin disconnected. In situations that require the latter approach, you will probably find that the signal level is 6dB lower than when using the equipment balanced. This is because you're only using one half of the signal from the output stage.
Q. Does it matter if mains power cables run close to signal cables?
Mains cables carry relatively high alternating currents that can be induced into audio cables running alongside them, even if the audio cable is well screened. The longer the distance the cables run alongside each other, the greater the amount of interference (usually hum) that will be induced into the signal cable. When audio and mains cables must cross, try to arrange the crossing to be at right angles, as this is the angle of minimum coupling.
Q. How long can audio cables be before the signal quality suffers?
This is one of those 'how long is a piece of string?' questions because the answer depends on both the cable type and on the impedance of the circuitry at either end. As a very general rule, high-impedance mics or feeds from high-impedance instrument pickups shouldn't be longer than around four or five metres, as the cable capacitance can cause the high frequencies to be attenuated, but low-impedance balanced mic cables can be tens or even hundreds of metres long if the sending and receiving devices are designed properly and the source impedance is very low. With semi-pro equipment, keeping balanced mic or line cables down to 10 or 20 metres maximum would be sensible, though it's still best to keep all cable runs as short as you can.
Q. I've read a lot about specialist hi-fi speaker cable. Is this really necessary or can I use any twin-core cable?
Speaker cable needs to have a very low electrical resistance, so it needs to be fairly hefty and made from a pure material, such as oxygen-free copper (OFC). Impure material can introduce nonlinearities (the oxidised copper actually behaves as a semiconductor) that manifest themselves as increased distortion at low signal levels. There are many cables that qualify, including 30A 'cooker' mains cable, but a sensibly priced, heavy-duty speaker cable is easier to use and looks nicer. If the cable resistance is more than a tiny fraction of an Ohm, the amplifier's damping factor is compromised and also the loudspeaker's frequency response can be affected. The reason for this is that a loudspeaker's impedance varies with frequency, but if this impedance is placed in series with a significant fixed cable resistance it acts as a potential divider, and the power delivered to the loudspeaker at different frequencies will be altered slightly.
Exotic cables can have an effect when used with different speakers, as the cable inductance and inter-cable capacitance can influence the crossover performance to some small degree. As a rule, though, the difference is so small that you're better off spending your money where it makes a real difference. Buy good cable, but don't waste money on 'fairy dust'. Keep speaker cables in stereo or surround systems the same length, but no longer than is necessary. Good-quality, low-resistance connectors will also improve performance.
Active speakers can be connected up using regular balanced mic cables, and the cable type will have no significant effect on the audio quality.
Q. How do I wire an insert 'Y' lead?
A typical 'Y' lead has a conventionally wired stereo jack at one end of a run of balanced (twin cored cable), but at the other end, the cable splits so that the screen and hot core are wired to one mono jack and the screen and cold core are wired to another.
The principle of operation is that each of the two cable cores carries one unbalanced signal, one from the mixer insert point to the external device, and one from the external device back to the mixer.

Here are some quick tips for getting those new plantings off to a great start.
Check your drainage. If you know your soil has poor drainage, consider building a mound or berm to keep the roots crown above wet soil.
Plant the tree at the height it was in the nursery. This will be visible by a slight change of color in the trunk. When watering in, be sure to account for soil settling in fast draining soil by adding an inch or two to planting depth.
Prune back trees if you want to encourage low fruiting wood. You can go as low as knee height (15 – 20 inches).
Paint the trunk do prevent sunburn on delicate newly planted trees. An interior white latex diluted with 50% water should work fine.
Lastly, add mycorrhizae directly to roots. Plant Success Granular or Soluble is a fantastic choice. Granular can be sprinkled directly on the roots while the soluble can be watered-in. The beneficial mycorrhizae and bacteria colonize the root system and lessen transplant shock, water and fertilizer needs. It also enhances absorption and availability of key nutrients bound up in soils. The root system is the stomach of the plant and benefits from a robust beneficial microbe population.]]>
What is this mysterious phenomena? Fungus, that's what. A giant web of interconnected fungus called mycorrhizae. Scientists think it is the largest single organism on earth.
Not only that but it helps feed most of the world's ecosystems. The fungus breakdown rock and minerals and collect water in exchange for sugars from plants. A win-win for both. Those minerals are then passed through plants to animals in an ever-expanding cycle of nutrients.
In nature, more than 90 percent of plant species form a symbiotic arrangement with this beneficial soil fungi called mycorrhizae. After roots are colonized by mycorrhizae, threads or "hyphae" develop and can extend far into the surrounding soil environment.
Mycorrhizae are fundamental in helping supply the water and nutrients needed for enhancing plant vigor. In exchange, they receive essential sugars and other compounds supplied by the plant. They also release powerful compounds into the surrounding environment which can capture nitrogen, phosphorous, magnesium, iron and other plant nutrients. This extraction process is particularly important in plant vigor and explains why mycorrhizal inoculations have been so successful.
It's also been discovered that a single Douglas fir tree can have as many as 50 species of mycorrhizae growing on them at a time and over 200 in its lifetime1. Even desert environments rely heavily on the fungus for water storage and drought tolerance.
Mycorrhizae are a great addition to any garden and help your plants ability to deal with stress and enhance nutrient uptake.

Class Warfare, Coming Soon to a Community Near You
Honduran Police Burn Community to the Ground
Homes, churches, schools, and crops all destroyed as the post-coup government continues to side with wealthy plantation owners over the country's organized farmers.
Watch this video from: The Real News and know this: If these hideous crimes against working people can be committed in Honduras by police and military units likely trained and supported by US dollars they can be committed here.
Economic collapse, debt crisis, gas and food prices through the roof, no jobs, terror in the streets, endless wars and the destruction of all societal safety mechanisms? These are the gifts being offered by the ever expanding modern industrial society.
But there's more. After the capitalist class has gambled away the wealth of the country and squandered another generation of our youth in their wars for resources and empire they will force you to pay the bill.
They're working on it now, night and day wrangling over the republican manufactured debt crisis, they are preparing the complete destruction of the middle class and the total privatization of all government functions where everything will be paid for at the company store at several times the price.
You will be called on to tighten your belt, to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, to make a greater sacrifice for your country except that your country will have become a wholly owned subsidiary of a consortium of stateless and soulless corporations.
They will come for your land, your homes, your meager wealth, using the tools, the police, even the army of the government that they bought, co-opted and finally seized. And finally having taken everything they want they will simply dispose of you, disappeared, dead, it doesn't matter, as long as you are gone and they have room to ride their horses and cruise their yachts.
They will keep those who are acceptably docile to work in their mills and fields and to guard the remainder who show signs of resistance in their camps and prisons and maintain continued docility among a slave labor class.
Watch the video, prepare for the future.

While all eyes follow the news cycle from Tunis to Cairo to Benghazi the world and the US should not forget Bahrain.
While just a causeway removed from US ally Saudi Arabia and host to the US 5th Fleet, the blood of the people of Bahrain runs the same color and their thirst for freedom and dignity is equally strong.

Can Giuliani Beat Obama For GOP Nomination?
In a recent poll, respondents report that if the republican front runners are suddenly raptured off the planet, Rudy Giuliani would be the only one left on the list who looks good in a little black dress and would become the favorite to win the nomination.
Rudy would be the favorite…that is, unless Barack Obama continues his inexorable creep to the right.
The President's SOTU speech last night sounded as if he and his wordsmiths had just returned from a long sojourn in some fairyland where full employment and economic justice prevail.
What he offered in his address was more of the same hollow panaceas, noble sounding bromides, continued wars, more tax cuts for business and spending cuts for the rest of us.
His stomach for kowtowing to republicans and the economic power elite may have been the model for the new Starbucks size.
Given another two years of moving toward and through the center, I expect that Obama may win the CPAC straw poll and be elected as a Republican in 2012.
America And Her God Of Violence
In the pantheon of America's gods, none is more powerful or worshiped with greater fervor than the god of violence. Its colleagues or brother gods of greed, sex, touchdown, slam dunk and bacon cheeseburgers all genuflect and grovel before the god of violence.
We didn't invent this worship of violence, we carried it with us, packed neatly in our baggage when we arrived on these shores from every corner of the Earth during the long period of accretion of immigrants from the extensive variety of violent cultures that became the USA.
Nearly every new arrival carried with them a genetic history of human conflict and war and written histories of human violence tucked into the pages of their sacred texts.
We are though, among the few to have enshrined violence and its tools in our founding documents, offering to our citizens what some succinctly term a "second amendment solution."
The state wages violence in our names every day and has for over two centuries and now publicly pretends that violence is an aberration. I'm sorry but violence is one of the constants in American history and culture.
As they say "politics ain't beanbag," in fact it was a violent sport long before Caesar's senatorial welcome home from Gaul.
Et tu America.
What do Snooki, Hugh Hefner and a Chimp Have in Common with the Bush Tax Cuts?
From Robert Greenwald:
This video highlights some of the craziness around what extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans could mean in terms of spending. The average amount these tax cuts would give is $80,000, which would allow a rich American to hire the entire staff of the Jersey Shore to appear at a party, or it could pay one month of unemployment for 273 Americans. But when you look at the richest of the rich, say, CEOs of big banks on Wall Street, they would stand to gain even more, reaping between $700,000 and 1.6 million each from these tax cuts.
Extending tax cuts to the richest 2% of Americans would cost our country $700 billion in new debt. At a time when nearly 15 million Americans are out of work, and over 2 million are in danger of losing their homes, Congress' priority needs to be the 98% of Americans who need the most support.
Tell Congress that they must NOT pass a tax cut for the wealthiest 2% of Americans.
Call Your Representatives now and tell them not to spend $700 billion on the richest among us. In this time of high unemployment and housing lost, we need to have better priorities!
Here's the number for the House (202) 224-3121
Once you've made your call, visit here and share with us how it went and why you oppose tax cuts for the wealthy.

Melanoma, Birth Defects or a Deep Grope, Your Choice, Happy Holidays
One of the more amazing sights in these modern times can be witnessed by taking a walk through any of America's reasonably sized airports.
Long lines of people removing belts, shoes and other articles of clothing and jewelry, preparing to be scanned by a large radiation emitting machine before they board a deregulated aircraft with a questionable maintenance schedule, flown by a possibly inebriated or at least hung over pilot, to attend a gathering of their dysfunctional family for the holidays.
This is a vision that Norman Rockwell missed and I wish that he were still alive to paint it for Hallmark. It would be my first choice as a Christmas or holiday card. I haven't sent cards for the holidays for thirty years or so but if I could get hold of a pile of Norman Rockwell Holiday Airport Screening cards, I'd change my ways and get in the spirit of the season, such as it is.
I'm vastly amused by the fact that most of this nonsense is unnecessary, ineffective, and protects no one from the terror monsters. It achieves nothing but to further line the pockets of people who don't have to stand naked in these lines and have their genitalia massaged by rent a cops because they fly in private jets and live in yachts in the country.
I've read up on the issues involved, from health concerns about the radiation emitted by the equipment to the conflicts of interest and outright corruption involved in awarding the contracts to purchase these devices. At $183 mil for the thousand ordered using federal stimulus dollars, I would say that the purpose of the program is the sale of the equipment. Period.
Like cruise missiles, drones, private security forces for diplomats and executives this is just another manifestation of the ever widening security culture we are developing. It's as if we were building a prison in a bottle for ourselves, constructing it from the inside and being taxed to pay for the privilege of remaining safe within.
Of course we have a choice to fly or not fly and if we choose to board the winged Greyhound we have a choice between melanoma, birth defects or special welcoming attention to our collective crotches. Ah, the free market at work.
Recent polls say that 81% of our citizens welcome these programs if they "keep us safe" as if they have been fenced in the yard by doting parents.
I'm a member, of the 18% who believe that we are being taken for a ride by the airlines, the security companies, the TSA and the national security apparatchiks, literally and figuratively.
The odds against dying in an act of airborne terrorism are far greater than those against dying from a lightning strike. Amazing isn't it that a small number of people in this world have created such turmoil and fear and incredible financial costs.
I doubt that they could have accomplished this without the valuable assistance of the lovely corporations and institutions that work so tirelessly to keep us safe.
15 GigaWatts of Solar in US by 2015?
By Zachary Shahan, CleanTechnica
A new report out by the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA) and GTM Research, the inaugural U.S. Solar Market Insight™ report, finds that solar power is going to continue its growth in the United States and is actually going to increase exponentially in the years to come.
2010 has been the best year ever for solar power in the United States, but much more is expected in the future. "Solar is now the fastest growing energy industry in the U.S., employing nearly 100,000 Americans and generating billions of dollars of economic growth for our economy,"

Misdirected Class Warfare? Yeah, We Need To Start At The Top
Class Warfare ?
President Obama has once again taken his case to the people and around here we're glad to see it.
He's attacking the Bush tax cuts, the moneyed class who claim that they would have to close off a few bedrooms without them, thereby putting a chambermaid out of work, and the Republican prison guards who begin fibrillating at the thought of losing that chambermaid they had grown so fond of.
The country is teetering at the precipice of bankruptcy because it has been fleeced by its wealthiest and most powerful people and corporations and now that the working classes are on the ropes, out of work, behind on the rent, the ruling class wants more.
There are torches in the woods carried by folks in evening wear and I'm hearing shouts of "down with the minimum wage," "privatize social security," "let them work till eighty," "the people are spoiled," and they're worried abut "class warfare?" (more…)
Tell Teabaggers and Plutocrats Alike: NO! Vote Democratic
In an essay at Huff Post yesterday, " Obama's Critics Are Dead Wrong" Frank Schaeffer wrote:
"Before he'd served even one year, President Obama lost the support of the easily distracted left and engendered the white hot rage of the hate-filled right. But some of us, from all walks of life and ideological backgrounds — are sticking with our president. Why? Because he is succeeding. Obama's critics from the left and right are going to be proved dead wrong.
We Obama supporters still trust our initial impression of him as a great, good and uniquely qualified man to lead us.
Obama's steady supporters will be proved right. Obama's lefty critics will be remembered as easily panicked and prematurely discouraged at best and his critics on the right will be remembered as nothing but shriveled hate mongers."
I'm wildly ambivalent about Frank's post. I don't know what he intends with the use of "lefty" here, but I'm a liberal, I'm disappointed with the rate of progress of the Obama administration, I'm not panicky nor easily distracted and I agree and disagree with Schaeffer at the same time.
Did Obama and the Dems get dealt a bad hand? Yes. They were dealt what Bud Abbot told Lou Costello was a "fliddly diddly" as Bud claimed the pot. "What's that?" Lou said. "No two cards alike," said Bud as he raked in the chips. (more…)
Raymond J. Learsy: Krugman Takes On The Angry Rich But Misses Their Pompous Pieties
My reply to Raymond Learsy's Huff post column this AM:
Yes "it needs fixing now," but I would suggest that there will be no fix forthcoming when the regulators are chosen from among the rock stars of the industry being regulated.
The choice of Elizabeth Warren to be central to the process is encouraging, the departure of Summers, tardy, but the names being bandied about to replace him offer little hope for reform.
Wall Street or the Banksters, whatever name we choose for this cesspool of crime will not be cleansed with a feather duster and a broom.

I think that you're right about most of this but I disagree that the mid term situation is as dire as you seem to indicate.

[Editor's note: Sally Kohn of Movement Vision Labs posted this excellent and hilarious video at Huff Post before lunch.

The polls may be more scientific today, I don't know, I'm not a political sophisticate, but I do remember Harry Truman and Tom Dewey and the fact that the conventional wisdom is what you get from the weatherman. So take a raincoat and go to the polls.
Tell all your Republican friends that you're not going to vote, that you're too depressed, then run to the voting booth as fast as you can and gleefully vote Democratic.

Privatizing Profit, Socializing Risk – What The Suits Really Want
Social programs like Medicare, or Veterans benefits or Social Security itself have caused atrial fibrillation in the "hearts" of the ruling class and the GOP since Moses was last seen skinny dipping in the bullrushes. (Do we still have bullrushes?)
Programs like these siphon public money away from projects dear to the "hearts" of the ruling class like the one being proposed to the state's Public Utilities Commission in the wake of the San Bruno explosion and fire.

The Mosque: Courage, Truth and the Law
The current hoo-hah over President Obama's public statement of the obvious, that Muslims have the same rights as everyone else, to worship, to speak, to petition the government for redress, to get jiggy, and just about whatever, Dude, has had the media, the Republicans and a few chicken shit Democrats obsessing through the weekend and deep into today, with no end in sight.
This is, as usual, being driven by the same gang of Republicans who really don't give a damn about the siting of this Islamic cultural center but do care deeply about sticking a knife in every vulnerable patch of flesh that the President and his party expose to their efforts.
They hope only to drive a wedge between the electorate, at least the fraction of it that cares about this sort of nonsense and the Prez and Democrats in general.
It is also, of course, being fanned by the completely irresponsible news media whose only concerns are notoriety, ratings, advertising dollars and maintaining a shallow pretext of objectivity.
This sort of behavior is a constant with Republicans, creating a large issue out of nothing, finding a mountain where all that exists is a molehill and wasting the public's time picking fly shit out of pepper. (more…)
Morning Reads in Flyover City
Steve Miller, American Hero, Dies At 86
I wrote a short piece a week or so ago in response to Tony Snow's ridiculous comparison of the Iraq war and the Battle of the Bulge in WWll. In that story I mentioned my friend Steve who landed at Normandy and fought through France, Belgium and into Germany.
Steve Miller died this past Saturday the 24th of June 2006.
I lost a friend, his family lost a great treasure and America lost a piece of her soul.
Steve was born in Celina Ohio on September 17, 1919. He grew up in that small town Ohio farming community and came to Dayton as a young man in the thirties seeking work in the local plants which were already gearing up the arsenal of democracy for the gathering storm in Europe and the Pacific.
I'm working from my memories of many conversations with Steve at the local VFW and the details are sketchy but I believe he joined the Army a couple of years before the outbreak of war and trained in Texas where he met Ike, his future bride and the woman he loved and treasured until and beyond her death a few years ago.
