The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), the agency in charge of the Delaware River as it winds through four states, conveniently sidestepped taking responsibility for overseeing the cumulative effects of the many natural gas pipelines being built around or through the Delaware River watershed by saying, essentially, "that's not our job." It's a tried-and-true political maneuver. But, if it's not the job of the DRBC, then we are really screwed here in the Delaware River Valley. That means it's not anybody's job to look after the aggregate environmental degradation in the watershed and threats to human (and animal) well-being caused by the standard procedures of the natural gas industry, operating as they do without need to comply with the Clean Air or Clean Water Acts. Oh well, I guess they can monitor themselves.

The DRBC did however give the go-ahead to two controversial projects: a $1.2 billion electrical transmission line through 72 miles of Delaware River watershed connecting New Jersey and Pennsylvania substations, and a $6.4 billion project to expand the Philadelphia airport- by filling in 130 acres of wetlands. Wetlands mitigate the effects of disastrous storms like Sandy, which we can expect more of, thanks to climate change. But you can't charge for prudence.

Every time I revisit the airport expansion, the numbers get bigger. There's the usual amount of cheerleading for this project, from the usual cheerleaders- the ones that brought you casinos and the expanded convention center. And I'm sure they all stand to make piles of money. Airport director Mark Gale promises jobs and revenue and a more efficient airport. Let's hope any of that is true. US Airways Vice President Micheal Minerva questioned the proposition back in 2010, so some pretty smart people see things differently. The project now only needs permission from Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (an oxymoron under Corbett) and the US Army Corps of Engineers, so consider it a done deal.

And here, in microcosm, is the problem with solving climate change. There's too much money to to be made doing the same old same old. There's no incentive to change, I mean, unless you like breathing the air and drinking the water. But apparently that's just not as sexy as the old "jobs and revenue" line that gets trotted out by every fill-in-the-blank financially interested party to defend every project that will add more carbon to the atmosphere.

The sticking point with climate change is it's not an environmental problem, primarily, but an economic problem. The entire world's economy revolves around carbon-spewing technologies. And until the kingpins controlling the resources that keep this economy running figure out how to make money in changing, there will be no serious change. Period, the end. Too bad about the air and water.

The natural gas industry is big in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and is grossly unregulated. The prize the industry promotes is replacing oil with natural gas - liquified natural gas, to be precise. That way cars keep running, factories don't have to retool, there's no need to worry so much about rapid transit, and hey, natural gas is clean, they say, kind of like clean coal (not). Tar sands development in Canada continues at a breakneck pace, although it may not go as smoothly as envisioned. GE recently announced plans to expand "natural gas highway" partnerships and the US government issued a report last week that makes the case for exporting natural gas, which the US now has in surplus. Sure it'll drive up domestic natural gas prices, but ultimately... jobs and revenue. So that's the plan, a natural gas superhighway and exporting the stuff so other countries can build natural gas superhighways. Good old, same old thing.

And nary a word about the hit to the earth's warming climate of these "clean energy" technologies. According to the International Energy Agency the world cannot afford to burn two-thirds of all identified fossil fuel resources. All that new carbon alone will doom the planet. It has to stay in the ground. So what the heck are we all talking about? "Jobs and revenue" is beginning to sound like the ditty Nero might sing as Rome burns.

Earlier this month, countries of the world met in Doha, Qatar under the auspices of the United Nations, to continue their nearly 20 year conversation about what they could or should do concerning climate change. Twenty years of talk and no action. Why? Because there's way too much money to be made doing nothing, and besides, say some, carbon regulation is not the UN's job.

When ordinary people have a concern about the impacts to their well-being of an industry, they naturally turn to their elected political leaders. So it's disappointing when those leaders aren't that interested in protecting public health. Susan Rice, current UN Ambassador, whose name is being floated for Secretary of State, has over a million invested in the Keystone Pipeline, a deal that needs - surprise! - a permit from the Department of State to proceed. It's hard for politicians to care about whether you can breathe air or drink water when they're so busy toting up their own return on investment.

I'm not against jobs and revenue but I've come to highly value breathing air and drinking water. The only force in the world capable of ultimately winning out over all this prevailing wisdom about jobs and revenue and the incredible boon of "clean" fossil fuels is sustained direct action by people. For real change, people will have to push harder, because politicians can talk forever, if you let them.

This is the conclusion many activists have come to across a variety of campaigns like Greenpeace, the Tar Sands Blockade and the new student movement to force colleges and universities to divest themselves of their fossil fuel investments, to name a few. It's surely going to get hotter - literally and figuratively - before health and well-being win out over jobs and revenue.

Warming Fears in ?Dustbin of History? </p><p>POZNAN, Poland - The UN global warming conference currently underway in Poland is about to face a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. Set for release this week, a newly updated U.S. Senate Minority Report features the dissenting voices of over 650 international scientists, many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN. The report has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. </p><p>The U.S. Senate report is the latest evidence of the growing groundswell of scientific opposition rising to challenge the UN and Gore. Scientific meetings are now being dominated by a growing number of skeptical scientists. The prestigious International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists? equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices and views of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears.

The data presented below is just from the past week. <br/># </p><p>Peer-reviewed study: Half of recent warming was solar! ? December 10, 2008 </p><p>Excerpt: In this dose of peer-reviewed skeptical climatological literature, we follow Climate Research News. The blog was intrigued by a new article in Geophysical Research Letters that was accepted on Friday, December 5th. Eichler, A., S. Olivier, K. Henderson, A. Laube, J. Beer, T. Papina, H. W. G?ggeler, and M. Schwikowski: Temperature response in the Altai region lags solar forcing ? Recall that the Siberian Altai Mountains are found at the intersection of Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. The authors looked at 750 years worth of the local ice core, especially the oxygen isotope. They claim to have found a very strong correlation between the concentration of this isotope (i.e. temperature) on one side and the known solar activity in the epoch 1250-1850. Their data seem to be precise enough to determine the lag, about 10-30 years. It takes some time for the climate to respond to the solar changes. It seems that they also have data to claim that the correlation gets less precise after 1850. They attribute the deviation to CO2 and by comparing the magnitude of the forcings, they conclude that ?Our results are in agreement with studies based on NH temperature reconstructions [Scafetta et al., 2007] revealing that only up to approximately 50% of the observed global warming in the last 100 years can be explained by the Sun.? Well, the word ?only? is somewhat cute in comparison with the ?mainstream? fashionable ideology. The IPCC said that they saw a 90% probability that ?most? of the recent warming was man-made. The present paper would reduce this figure, 90%, to less than 50% because the Sun itself is responsible for 1/2 of the warming and not the whole 50% of the warming could have been caused by CO2 because there are other effects, too. Note that if 0.3 ?C or 0.4 ?C of warming in the 20th century was due to the increasing CO2 levels, the climate sensitivity is decisively smaller than 1 ?C. At any rate, the expected 21st century warming due to CO2 would be another 0.3-0.4 ?C, and this time, if the solar activity contributes with the opposite sign, these two effects could cancel. Even if you try to stretch these numbers a little bit ? but not unrealistically ? you have to become sure that the participants of the Poznan conference are lunatics. </p><p>Flashback: New scientific analysis shows Sun ?could account for as much as 69% of the increase in Earth?s average temperature? (LINK) & (LINK) </p><p>Dr. Bruce West, A U.S Army Chief Scientist, Says Sun, Not Man, Is Driving Climate Change ? June 3, 2008 ? (LINK) </p><p>21 spotless days and solar magnetic field still in a funk ? Meteorologist Anthony Watts Excerpt: We are now at 21 days with no sunspots, it will be interesting to see if we reach a spotless 30 day period and then perhaps a spotless month of December. </p><p>New Arctic ice analysis reveals ?No clear evidence of a delay in the start of the later summer/early fall freeze up or the start of the late winter/early spring melt? ? Excerpt: Based on analysis by William Chapman, author of The Cryosphere Today website, graciously prepared an analysis of the dates of the minimum and maximum Arctic sea ice coverage since 1979. </p><p>Oscillation Rules as the Pacific Cools ? December 9, 2008 Excerpt: A cool wedge of lower-than-normal sea-surface heights continues to dominate the tropical Pacific, ringed by a horseshoe of warmer waters. The continuation of this long-term cool phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation stacks the odds against a wetter-than-average winter/spring in the southwestern United States. The latest image of sea-surface height measurements from the U.S./French Jason-1 oceanography satellite shows the Pacific Ocean remains locked in a strong, cool phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a large, long-lived pattern of climate variability in the Pacific associated with a general cooling of Pacific waters. [?] Sea-surface temperature satellite data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration mirror Jason sea-surface height measurements, clearly showing a cool Pacific Decadal Oscillation pattern, as seen at: http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/map/images/sst/sst.anom.gif . ?This multi-year Pacific Decadal Oscillation ?cool? trend can cause La Ni?a-like impacts around the Pacific basin,? said Bill Patzert, an oceanographer and climatologist at NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. [?] This cool phase will likely persist this winter and, perhaps, beyond. </p><p>Report: Sea Level rise ?has stumbled since 2005? ? Meteorologist Anthony Watts ? December 5, 2008 Excerpt: We?ve been waiting for the UC web page to be updated with the most recent sea level data. It finally has been updated for 2008. It looks like the steady upward trend of sea level as measured by satellite has stumbled since 2005. The 60 day line in blue tells the story. From the University of Colorado web page: ?Long-term mean sea level change is a variable of considerable interest in the studies of global climate change. The measurement of long-term changes in global mean sea level can provide an important corroboration of predictions by climate models of global warming. Long term sea level variations are primarily determined with two different methods.? ? Yes, I would agree, it is indeed a variable of considerable interest. The question now is, how is it linked to global climate change (aka global warming) if CO2 continues to increase, and sea level does not? </p><p>Peer-Reviewed Study: Recent worldwide land warming? NOT ?a direct response to increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) over land? ? WorldClimateReport.com ? December 3, 2008 ?Rethinking Observed Warming?? Key quote: ?Evidence is presented that the recent worldwide land warming has occurred largely in response to a worldwide warming of the oceans rather than as a direct response to increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) over land.? </p><p>Alert: 2008 will be coolest year of the decade!- December 5, 2008 Excerpt: This year is set to be the coolest since 2000, according to a preliminary estimate of global average temperature that is due to be released next week by the Met Office. The global average for 2008 should come in close to 14.3C, which is 0.14C below the average temperature for 2001-07. [Note: For evidence of the panic apparently gripping the promoters of man-made climate fear, read the quotes in the article from the warming partisans absolutely assuring everyone that cool temperatures are ?absolutely not" evidence that global warming is on the wane. Those same voices are usually absent when it comes to linking heat waves to global warming. ] </p><p>Flashback: Global Cooling? ? ?Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof? ? National Post ? October 20, 2008 </p><p>Report: NASA?s James Hansen ?adjusts? a cooling trend into a warming trend ? December 9, 2008 Excerpt: ?[H]ere is what the data looks like before and after NASA GISS adjusts it. These are the USHCN ?raw? and ?homogenized? data plots from the GISTEMP website. The before and after is quite something to behold. ? What was down, is now up.? ?How not to measure temperature, part 79? </p><p>Geophysist: ?It is time to file this theory in the dustbin of history? ? ?Alarmists are in denial and running for cover?- Washington Times </p><p>By Geophysicist Dr. David Deming, associate professor of arts and sciences at the University of Oklahoma who has published numerous peer-reviewed research articles. Excerpt: Environmental extremists and global warming alarmists are in denial and running for cover. Their rationale for continuing a lost cause is that weather events in the short term are not necessarily related to long-term climatic trends. But these are the same people who screamed at us each year that ordinary weather events such as high temperatures or hurricanes were undeniable evidence of imminent doom. Now that global warming is over, politicians are finally ready to enact dubious solutions to a non-existent problem. [?] To the extent global warming was ever valid, it is now officially over. It is time to file this theory in the dustbin of history, next to Aristotelean physics, Neptunism, the geocentric universe, phlogiston, and a plethora of other incorrect scientific theories, all of which had vocal and dogmatic supporters who cited incontrovertible evidence. Weather and climate change are natural processes beyond human control. To argue otherwise is to deny the factual evidence. </p><p>Climate Chancellor? No More ? Der Spiegel Excerpt: Angela Merkel is facing withering criticism for remarks she made on Monday that seemed to back away from her earlier commitment to tackling climate change. </p><p>Alert: Under the Weather: Internal Report Says U.N. Climate Agency Rife With Bad Practices ? Fox News ? December 4, 2008 </p><p>Excerpt: As more than 10,000 delegates and observers gather in Poznan, Poland, to discuss the next phase in the battle against ?climate change,? a U.N. agency at the center of that hoopla badly needs to do some in-house weather-proofing. [?] But the WMO, the $80 million U.N. front-line agency in the climate change struggle, and the source for much of the world?s information in the global atmosphere and water supply, has serious management problems of its own, despite its rapidly expanding global ambitions. The international agency has been sharply criticized by a U.N. inspection unit in a confidential report obtained by FOX News, for, among other things, haphazard budget practices, deeply flawed organizational procedures, and no effective oversight by the 188 nations that formally make up its membership and dole out its funds. The inspection was carried out by a member of the United Nations Joint Inspection Unit (JIU), a small, independent branch of the U.N. that reports to the General Assembly and is mandated to improve the organization?s efficiency and coordination through its inspection process. [?] WMO did not respond to a series of questions from FOX News regarding its future programs, sent on the eve of the Poznan meeting. </p><p>16-year-old suggests sheep dung can help save planet Card business has really dung good ?

Excerpt: The alarmist faction knows that, if it were to bring a case against a corporation whose executives were not minded merely to believe in the extremist presentation of ?global warming? just because it is temporarily in fashion, they would lose. The case of Dimmock v. Secretaries of State for Education and for the Environment in the UK in 2007 was a very clear warning. The UK Government threw all of the resources of the taxpayer and of the Meteorological Office at the case, attempting to defend Al Gore?s sci-fi comedy horror movie against the plaintiff?s allegation that it was serially and seriously inaccurate. The Government failed and was humiliated. The judge, having heard both sides, said bluntly of Al Gore, and particularly of his unscientific allegation that sea level was about to rise by 20 feet, that ?the Armageddon scenario that he depicts is not based on any scientific view?. A few more judgments like that and the ?global warming? fantasy would rapidly collapse. End of scare. </p><p>OOPS, We Forgot Siberia!

What an extraordinary debate. <p>Life is dynamic, hence climate change has been part of this planet for about 5 billion years. During that time the climate changed enough to allow humans to evolve. (roughly 5 million years ago). About 250 years ago humans discovered how useful fossils can be, exploited them, then grew and multiplied. </p><p>Fossil fuels spew out toxins, which have seldom been controlled; take a long time to form, but a short time to use up; meanwhile the planet is adjusting to their impact. </p><p>These conditions might well continue for a while, but fossil fuels will run out; what do we do then, surrounded by air which is difficult to breathe, water which is difficult to drink or use for agriculture, and soil which has much reduced productivity? </p><p>We might well go extinct, but (barring external collisions etc.) the planet will probably keep going for millenia. </p> <p> <span class="report-message">Why is this inappropriate? </span><br/><textarea id="abuse_msg-4026374" name="abuse_msg-4026374"/><br/><button onclick="javascript: report_abuse(4026374, document.getElementById('abuse_msg-4026374').value); ">Send Report</button> <button onclick="javascript: hide_abuse_form('report-4026374'); ">Cancel</button> </p> <p>Your report has been submitted to Customer Service.

Now any Android user can have this option with GMD Smart Rotate. </p> <p>The app can also keep your screen from turning off while you're looking at the display, force rotations on applications you normally cannot, and in the pro version you can specify which apps should and should not rotate.</p> <p>It is that last feature that is causing me to consider paying the modest $1.99 for the pro unlock key even though the other features already exist in my Galaxy Note II. Non-Galaxy owners should definitely consider the app.</p> <p class="arrow">GMD Smart Rotate | Google Play Store via Addictive Tips</p><p>Source: <a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/ondaq_A4hfs/gmd-smart-rotate-adds-screen-rotation-customization-for-android-phones">http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/ondaq_A4hfs/gmd-smart-rotate-adds-screen-rotation-customization-for-android-phones</a></p><p><a href="http://ehces.site40.net/index.php?title=Wedding-event-Schemes-and-Wedding-event-Flowers-Australia">modesto</a> <a href="http://ddeath.overminddl1.com/ddwiki/index.php?title=Wedding-Schemes-and-Wedding-event-Flowers-Australia">st louis weather</a> <a href="http://devops.ie/wiki/index.php?title=Wedding-event-Schemes-and-Wedding-event-Flowers-Australia">guinea bissau</a> <a href="http://www.etherous.net/wiki//index.php/index.php?title=Wedding-event-Plans-and-Wedding-Flowers-Australia">google stock</a> <a href="http://flatratewebsupport.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wedding-Schemes-and-Wedding-Flowers-Australia">google stock</a> <a href="http://cerdasgroup.com/cerdaspedia/index.php?title=Wedding-event-Plans-and-Wedding-Flowers-Australia">china gdp</a> <a href="http://autkdclub.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wedding-event-Schemes-and-Wedding-event-Flowers-Australia">dont trust the b in apartment 23</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/15165412122138086531' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/15165412122138086531' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>litwincinderella33</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://spatter-scientific.blogspot.com/2012/12/gmd-smart-rotate-adds-screen-rotation.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://spatter-scientific.blogspot.com/2012/12/gmd-smart-rotate-adds-screen-rotation.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-12-29T18:19:00-08:00'>6:19 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://spatter-scientific.blogspot.com/2012/12/gmd-smart-rotate-adds-screen-rotation.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-20531369'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3458213427404498054&postID=471280374673259199&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3458213427404498054&postID=471280374673259199&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3458213427404498054&postID=471280374673259199&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Shipments of products as varied as flat-screen TVs, sneakers and snow shovels could sit idle at sea or get rerouted, at great time and expense, if more than 14,000 <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1356684616_1">longshoremen</span> go on strike as threatened ? a wide-ranging work stoppage that would immediately close cargo ports on the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1356684616_3">East Coast</span> and the Gulf of Mexico to <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1356684616_0">container ships</span>.</p> <p>Commerce could be brought to a near standstill at major ports from Boston to Houston if the strike takes place on Sunday, potentially delivering a big blow to retailers and manufacturers still struggling to find their footing in a weak economy.</p> <p>"If the port shuts down, nothing moves in or out," said Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation. And when the workers do return, "it's going to take time to clear out that backlog, and we don't know how long that it's going to take."</p> <p>The 15 ports involved in the labor dispute move more than 100 million tons of goods each year, or about 40 percent of the nation's containerized cargo traffic. Losing them to a shutdown, even for a few days, could cost the economy billions of dollars.</p> <p>In addition to transporting goods, U.S. factories also rely on container ships for parts and raw materials, meaning supply lines for all sorts of products could be squeezed.</p> <p>"The global economy moves by water, and shutting down container ports along the East and Gulf coasts while the national economy remains fragile benefits no one," Deborah Hadden, acting port director at Massport, the public agency that oversees shipping terminals in Boston. It is not a part of the contract dispute.</p> <p>Florida Gov. Rick Scott said "the livelihood of thousands of Florida families lies in the balance."</p> <p>The master contract between the International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, a group representing shipping lines, terminal operators and port associations, expired in September. The two sides agreed to extend it once already, for 90 days, but they have so far balked at extending it again when it expires at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.</p> <p>The union said its members would agree to an extension only if the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1356684616_2">Maritime Alliance</span> dropped a proposal to freeze the royalties workers get for every container they unload. The Alliance has argued that the longshoremen, who it said earn an average $124,138 per year in wages and benefits, are compensated well enough already.</p> <p>Federal mediators have been trying to push negotiations along, but there has been no word from either side on the progress of the talks since Dec. 24. As recently as Dec. 19, the president of the longshoremen, Harold Daggett, said the talks weren't going well and that a strike was expected.</p> <p>The work stoppage would not be absolute. Longshoremen would continue to handle military cargo, mail, passenger ships, non-containerized items like automobiles, and perishable commodities, like fresh food.</p> <p>Joseph Ahlstrom, a professor at the State University of New York's Maritime College and a former cargo ship captain, called container ships the "lifeblood of the country."</p> <p>"We don't fly in a lot of products. It's just too expensive," Ahlstrom said. "The bulk of the products we import come in inside containers."</p> <p>The White House has weighed in on the issue, urging dockworkers and shipping companies Thursday to reach agreement "as quickly as possible" on a contract extension. Obama spokesman Matt Lehrich said the administration is monitoring the situation closely.</p> <p>If it happens, the walkout could be the biggest national port disruption since 2002, when unionized dockworkers were locked out of 29 West Coast ports for 10 days because of a contract dispute.</p> <p>The ports only reopened after President George W. Bush, invoking powers given to him by the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, ordered an 80-day cooling-off period. Some economists estimated that each day of that lockout cost the U.S. economy $1 billion. It took months for the retail supply chain to fully recover.</p> <p>An East Coast port freeze would have its biggest impact at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, where 3,250 longshoremen handled 32.3 million tons of cargo in 2010. The authority is not a party to the contract dispute.</p> <p>Other major ports affected would include Savannah, Ga., which handled 18 million tons, and Houston and Hampton Roads, Va., which each handled more than 12.5 million tons.</p> <p>Thousands of other jobs would be directly affected by the shutdown. Truck drivers might not have any cargo to transport, tug boat captains no ships to guide and freight train operators nothing to haul.</p> <p>Simultaneously, another labor dispute involving dock workers was playing out on the West Coast.</p> <p>Longshoremen at several Pacific Northwest grain terminals worked Thursday under contract terms they soundly rejected last weekend. The owners implemented the terms after declaring talks at an impasse. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union has yet to announce its next move.</p> <p>Workplace rules, not salary and benefits, have been the obstacle to a new deal.</p> <p>The dispute involves terminals in Portland, Ore., Vancouver, Wash., and Seattle, where longshoremen have been working without an agreement since the last contract expired Sept. 30.</p> <p>___</p> <p>Associated Press writers Ken Thomas in Washington and Tamara Lush in Tampa, Fla., contributed to this report.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/little-time-left-head-off-longshoremens-strike-074945737--finance.html">http://news.yahoo.com/little-time-left-head-off-longshoremens-strike-074945737--finance.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.societyofassassins.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">pecan pie recipe</a> <a href="http://ourlibreway.org/wiki/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">dick clark</a> <a href="http://stanhope.org.uk/uprightman/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">Hector Camacho</a> <a href="http://www.stayoutofthelight.net/wiki/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">Jill Kelly</a> <a href="http://stsroundtable.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">McKayla Maroney</a> <a href="http://stuartgarthwaite.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">gronkowski</a> <a href="http://urbanminecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Pest-Control-Coolum--Common-Household-Pests">jeremy renner</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/15165412122138086531' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/15165412122138086531' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>litwincinderella33</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://spatter-scientific.blogspot.com/2012/12/little-time-left-to-head-off.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://spatter-scientific.blogspot.com/2012/12/little-time-left-to-head-off.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-12-28T20:04:00-08:00'>8:04 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://spatter-scientific.blogspot.com/2012/12/little-time-left-to-head-off.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-20531369'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3458213427404498054&postID=976473312688895608&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3458213427404498054&postID=976473312688895608&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3458213427404498054&postID=976473312688895608&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

So even as her feet swelled to such an extent that she could no longer stuff them into her shoes, and even as nausea, headaches and dizziness plagued her, she reached for the aspirin bottle or made do with a teaspoon of vinegar. She propped her feet up on pillows and hoped for relief.</p> <p>"Before I got sick," she said, "I hadn't been to the doctor in 20 years."</p> <p>After she collapsed last year and landed in in a local emergency room, doctors diagnosed her with congestive heart failure, high blood pressure and hypothyroid. They ordered her not to work. She arranged a Social Security disability benefit, and she enrolled in Medicaid, the government-furnished insurance program for the poor. She used her Medicaid card to secure needed prescription medications. Her ailments stabilized.</p> <p>But this year, the state determined that the $819 a month she draws in disability payments exceed the allowable limit. By the federal government's reckoning, her $9,800 annual income made her officially poor. But under the standards set by Louisiana, she was too well off to receive Medicaid.</p> <p>This is how Johnson, 57, finds herself back amid the roughly 49 million Americans who lack health insurance. This is why she must again reach into her pocket to secure her prescription drugs, a supply that runs about $200 a month. That sum is beyond her, so she has gone more than four months without taking her pills on a regular basis. Once again, her feet are swelling and her chest is filling with fluid. Once again, she is confronted with the realization that a lifetime of labor does not entitle her to see a doctor any more than it enables her to gain crucial medications.</p> <p>"It just doesn't seem right to me," she said. "It just doesn't seem fair."</p> <p>Johnson is precisely the sort of person who is supposed to benefit from the national health care reform now known as Obamacare. The law championed by President Obama and enacted by Congress nearly three years ago includes a dramatic expansion of Medicaid. In place of the patchwork of eligibility levels now set by each state, one standard is to prevail everywhere: Individuals with annual incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line -- currently, $14,856 or less -- are supposed to be able to enroll.</p> <p>Were the Obamacare expansion enacted today, some 17 million people would gain the right to coverage under Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance program, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Laura Johnson would be among them. But the policy does not take effect until 2014. And in several states, including Louisiana, it increasingly appears the policy may not take effect at all.</p> <p>This is in large part because of a landmark Supreme Court decision earlier this year. The court affirmed Obamacare?s key mechanism -- the authority of the federal government to mandate that people buy some form of health insurance or pay penalties -- but the justices overturned another crucial provision: They decreed that states have the right to opt out of the Medicaid expansion, a step that would deprive people like Johnson of care.</p> <p>Though Medicaid is jointly run and financed by the states and the federal government, Washington is obligated to cover the full costs of expanding the Medicaid rolls over the first three years. Even as the federal share gradually declines over subsequent years, by 2022 Washington would still be on the hook for 90 percent of the additional costs. But the court said states could turn down that federal money and continue to run their Medicaid programs as they do now, setting their own standards for eligibility.</p> <p>Since that ruling, Republican governors in nine states -- Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota, Maine and Louisiana -- have indicated that this is what they intend to do. </p> <p>Here in Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal, who now chairs the Republican Governors Association, has criticized the Medicaid expansion as a threat to taxpayers and an incursion on his state's right to set its own policies.</p> <p>"That's crazy," said Johnson. "I don't understand why he's doing that. He's not thinking about poor people like us."</p> <p>Jindal declined requests for comment. But in public statements, he has portrayed his opposition as a principled stand in favor of fiscal prudence. Yes, he says, the costs are to be borne by Washington initially, but the the states have to pick up a share.</p> <p>"This is not free health care," Jindal said last summer during a conference call with reporters, adding that the Medicaid expansion would cost Louisiana $3.7 billion over the first decade.</p> <p>Obamacare proponents dispute such accounting as both flawed and incomplete. </p> <p>Expanding Medicaid nationally under Obamacare would increase total state costs by just 2.9 percent, or $76 billion in total between 2013 and 2022, according to research conducted by The Urban Institute and published by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The federal government would cover the rest of the roughly $1.03 trillion cost of expanding Medicaid during those years, according to the report. Some new state Medicaid spending would be offset by cutting existing state health programs for the poor.</p> <p>In Louisiana, participating in the Medicaid expansion would cost the state an additional $1.8 billion over that timeframe, while the federal government would deliver $16.7 billion, the Urban Institute projects. Some 400,000 now-ineligible Louisiana residents would be able to enroll in Medicaid.</p> <p>As some experts portray it, the benefits of adding uninsured people to Medicaid rolls spill over beyond the recipients. Even people who already have insurance effectively profit through reduced economic waste and by improving the overall health care system.</p> <p>Uninsured people are more likely to be sick, are more likely to declare bankruptcy, are less productive at work and don't live as long, said John Lumpkin, the director of the health care group at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a Princeton, N.J.-based research organization. These impacts effectively cost the economy as much $200 billion every year, he said, citing a 2008 study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. </p> <p>People who lack health insurance run the risk of winding up like Johnson: putting off care as their conditions worsen to the point that they can no longer work, removing their payroll and income taxes from government coffers while drawing on taxpayers for disability benefits. People in that situation effectively increase the costs of health care for everyone, say experts, because they eventually require emergency services, with the bill often picked up by state and federal taxpayers. </p> <p>In 2010, hospitals nationwide delivered $39.3 billion in health care services for which they received no payment, according to the American Hospital Association, citing the last year for which data is available. Some of these costs are covered by taxpayer-funded programs that reimburse hospitals that have especially high rates of unpaid bills. The rest gets absorbed by the health care system, yeilding higher prices for patients. </p> <p>The result: an American medical system characterized by extreme inefficiency. </p> <p>"We have a health care system that has the best medical science in the world that delivers third-world health care to the vast majority of our population," Lumpkin said. "Our nation spends more per capita for health care, by far, than any of the other developed countries in the world. And when you compare outcomes based on any measurement of health or health care, we underperform."</p> <p>Laura Johnson's son, Dustin, a 20-year-old college student, suffers from severe asthma and himself lacks health care, frequently landing in the emergency room. He offers his own sense of the accounting at work: In his view, people like him and his mother have simply been pushed beyond the ledgers of American life.</p> <p>"Some of the people who can afford health insurance just kind of forget about people who can't," he said. "I don't think health care is something anyone should be denied. It's not anyone's choice to get sick."</p> <p><strong>OUT OF THE WOODWORK</strong></p> <p>Dianne Laird, 57, has experienced both sides of that divide. </p> <p>Four years ago, as the American economy sank into the worst downturn since the Great Depression, she lost her job as an office manager in Texas. She lost her $42,000 annual salary along with her health coverage. At about the same time, her husband, Ron, 58, shuttered his kayak rental company in the face of declining business.</p> <p>The Lairds found themselves part of a crowded group that no one chooses to join: people who lack health insurance.</p> <p>In Texas, that group is especially large, numbering about 6.1 million. As of last year, Texas had the highest rate of residents who were uninsured -- 24 percent compared to 16 percent nationally, according to census data compiled by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.</p> <p>Texas also claims distinction as a state with one of the more restrictive standards for Medicaid eligibility: It does not offer Medicaid to adults, regardless of their income, except some pregnant women, poor parents with children at home, and people with disabilities. A single parent, for instance, cannot enroll in Medicaid in Texas if they make more than 25 percent of the federal poverty line -- now, about $2,800 annually.</p> <p>For a time, the Lairds scraped by on her unemployment benefits while she enrolled in community college, aiming to become a fitness instructor. They made a few dollars on the side selling peaches at a roadside stand and occasional housesitting. They sold their home to raise funds to pay their bills and they moved into a rental apartment.</p> <p>About a year ago, Dianne got a part-time job teaching exercise classes at the YMCA, a job that pays less than she previously received in unemployment benefits. As a family, the Lairds are poor by the federal standard. But because they don't have children at home and have no disabilities, it doesn't matter how poor they are in Texas, so they have no health coverage.</p> <p>"If something happens," Dianne Laird said, "then I'm going to have to deal with it."</p> <p>That mindset has become something of a family trait. Elise, 22, the youngest of the Laird's three children, is a full-time student at nearby Texas State University, where she studies photography and mass communications. She lives on her own with her boyfriend and works part-time at an ice cream shop, sometimes bringing in extra money through photography and modeling jobs.</p> <p>All told, Elise subsists on about $1,000 a month, supplemented by student loans. She is seeking to apply for food stamps.</p> <p>"Everyone I know is at poverty," Elise said. "I don't know anyone that doesn't have two jobs, that isn't going to school, who isn't trying to better their lives." </p> <p>Elise has had no health coverage since she turned 19, which made her too old for the Children's Health Insurance Program, a federal-state benefit similar to Medicaid. So far, she's avoided serious illness, but she feels a gnawing sense of vulnerability, combined with the knowledge that any health problem would be a financial calamity.</p> <p>"It would be such an ineffable amount of money that it would just be like, 'Well, I can't pay you,'" she said.</p> <p>Elise and her mother have come to rely on Lone Star Circle of Care, a network of community health centers in central Texas that provides basic medical care and charges on a sliding scale based on income. Elise and her mother visit the network's clinics for annual gynecologic exams, they said. </p> <p>Given the clinic's mission as a provider to low-income people who lack other options, getting an appointment there sometimes takes a week, they say. The clinic is limited in the services it provides, so Dianne has yet to have a colonoscopy while skipping other basic services.</p> <p>"I have ailments that I would like to get looked at," said Dianne. "I mean, my hip just kills me all the time."</p> <p>In the spring, when Dianne broke her ankle, the clinic could not help, so she went to the emergency room at a local hospital, University Medical Center Brackenridge.</p> <p>"There are no regular doctors that'll see you without you having to shell out cash," she said.</p> <p>That visit resulted in a $2,500 bill. She has no inkling how she will pay it. </p> <p>"I'm a month behind on my cell phone bill," Dianne said. "I have to pick and choose what is worthwhile paying right now, and so I choose the car payment, the roof over our head, the electricity, the water," she said.</p> <p>The Medicaid expansion would relieve families like the Lairds from having to choose between basic health care services and electricity. But Gov. Rick Perry has staked out a strident position against the expansion, objecting to what he portrays as the worst dimension of Obamacare -- greater federal involvement in his state.</p> <p>"Medicaid is a system of inflexible mandates, one-size fits-all requirements and wasteful, bureaucratic inefficiencies," Perry wrote Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius earlier this year. The health care law's "unsound encroachments will find no foothold here," he declared.</p> <p>Perry has also described the Medicaid expansion as a fiscal threat, questioning whether Washington can be relied upon to deliver its promised funding going forward.</p> <p>Experts say such opposition masks the real cause of concern in states such as Texas and Louisiana: They fear what has become known as "the woodwork effect," with the Medicaid expansion serving to publicize the existence of the program, prompting a surge of people to enroll. </p> <p>That surge would include not only people made eligible by Obamacare, but also people who have been eligible all along but perhaps had not known how to apply. Nationally, just 62 percent of people eligible for Medicaid are actually getting benefits, according to an estimate published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2010.</p> <p>While the federal government is obligated to cover the full costs of newly eligible people added to the Medicaid rolls, people who are already eligible would be governed by the existing split: The states on average absorb 43 percent of those costs.</p> <p>"The state's complaint is, 'We said we would cover these people and now we're going to have to actually cover them and pay for them,'" said Stan Dorn, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute.</p> <p>Marci Roe worries about the consequences of not paying for them. As executive director of the Volunteer Health Clinic in Austin, she witnesses every day the full dimension of the costs borne by people who live without health insurance.</p> <p>"They lead sicker lives," she said. "It affects their ability to work, their ability to go to school, to basically support themselves."</p> <p><strong>WHY DID YOU WAIT SO LONG?</strong></p> <p>Laura Johnson's working life traces the arc of an American economy that has for decades replaced jobs that paid middle-class wages and provided health insurance with low-wage service sector positions that lack benefits.</p> <p>Johnson was raised in the town of Homer, La., about 35 miles southeast of here. Her father worked as a machine operator at a plywood company. He came home with dirt under his fingernails and aching joints, but also a paycheck large enough to allow his wife to stay home and look after their seven children. His earnings included health coverage and a retirement savings program.</p> <p>After high school, Johnson enrolled at Grambling State University, a historically African-American university, where she studied to be a teacher. In her junior year, her father died, felled by heart trouble at 45. Devastated, she fell into depression.</p> <p>"I loved my daddy more than life itself," she said, recalling how she would ride around in his truck while he made his rounds. "I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. My dad was my world."</p> <p>She dropped out of school and moved to Washington, D.C., where she moved in with an aunt who thought a change of scenery might help her transcend her grief. There, she worked in a department store.</p> <p>But after a year, Johnson's mother persuaded her to return to Louisiana in the hopes that she would resume her studies. She came home but could not find the motivation to return to classes. Instead, she took a job as a dietician at a nursing home, planning the meals, earning about $1,000 a month, she says.</p> <p>"I just didn?t want to go back to school," she said. "It was the beginning of a downward spiral. I feel like I should have gone back to college and my life would be better."</p> <p>Over the subsequent decades, Johnson attended to elderly people in nursing homes and in private residences, delivering meals and medication, emptying bedpans and changing seats.</p> <p>Most of those jobs paid minimum wage. None included health insurance.</p> <p>"It didn't bother me," she said, "because I never was sick."</p> <p>But as the years passed, the minor ailments to which a person can grow accustomed burgeoned into life-threatening conditions. Her feet and ankles swelled, and so did her face, in what her doctors would later conclude was a likely manifestation of thyroid problems. Her left side felt increasingly heavy. </p> <p>Even as pain and worry became constant, she did not consult a doctor for two simple reasons: She didn't have health insurance, and she didn't have money.</p> <p>At her last job before she collapsed, she was bringing home about $400 every other week, she says. The rent on her brick-faced apartment on the edges of town ran $575 a week. Her utilities absorbed another $300 a month.</p> <p>"I just lived paycheck to paycheck," she said. "How you going to go to the doctor with no money?"</p> <p>In her town in northern Louisiana, Johnson did not lack for company. Nurtured more than a century ago by cotton farming, Ruston is home today to some 22,000 people -- more than a third of them living at or below poverty, according to census data. Its compact downtown is dotted by markers of inadequate finance, from the payday lenders and pawn shops that dominate the strip malls, to discount grocery outlets and fast-food joints.</p> <p>When the pain got so bad that she could not handle it, Johnson lay on her couch and watched television (mostly soap operas) and consulted a book on home remedies. That's where she learned about vinegar treatments. ("It brings your blood pressure down," she says.) That's where she read that dabbing rubbing alcohol on her temples might limit her headaches, while a little lemon juice could be used for dizziness. For kidney troubles, she says, baking powder and water are thought to do the trick.</p> <p>On a muggy morning in May 2011, she felt so faint that she could not get herself to work, the pressure in her chest having become unbearable.</p> <p>"It felt like something was smothering my heart," she said. "I was terrified. It was very traumatic."</p> <p>Her sister drove her to the emergency room at the E.A. Conway Medical Center, a half-hour drive to the east in the town of Monroe. The hospital -- part of the Louisiana State University health care system, which specializes in care for low-income people -- occupies a five-story brick building next to a juvenile prison ringed by razor wire. Nearly half of the patients at the medical center are enrolled in Medicaid, and 38 percent have no insurance, according to a hospital spokeswoman.</p> <p>System-wide, the LSU hospital chain derived nearly half of its 2011 revenues from state and federal funds that reimburse facilities that treat large numbers of people who fail to pay their bills, according to its latest annual report. At E.A. Conway, nearly two-thirds of the revenues came from these sources, according to the report.</p> <p>The medical staff put Johnson on a ventilator and ran a battery of tests.</p> <p>The doctors found a substantial quantity of fluid around her heart, which was severely enlarged, she says. They determined that her blood pressure was so high that she was at severe risk of a stroke.</p> <p>"The doctor asked me, 'Why did you wait so long to come in?'" Johnson recalled. "He told me my body was almost getting ready to shut down. And I'm thinking in my head, 'I didn't come because I don't have any insurance.'"</p> <p>She spent eight days in the hospital, she says, and she never received a bill. It was clear enough that she could not pay.</p> <p>A hospital spokeswoman declined to discuss the cost of Johnson's care, citing patient confidentiality restrictions, but estimated that the typical stay there runs upwards of $1,000 a day. </p> <p>Johnson?s doctors discharged her with strict instructions not to go back to work, she says, and with a voluminous list of prescriptions.</p> <p>Her son, Dustin, went online and filled out her Medicaid application. Soon, she had in hand a Medicaid card. She took it to the pharmacy and brought home the shelf-full of pills the doctors ordered, while surrendering minimal co-pays -- typically just a dollar or two. She made regular follow-up visits to the doctors, who adjusted her medications when her stomach bothered her or when she felt dizzy.</p> <p>Her health stabilized. Her pain receded.</p> <p>But this past spring, another letter came from the state, this one informing her that her disability payment put her over the income threshold for Medicaid.</p> <p>So ended her subsidized trips to the pharmacy.</p> <p>Forced to fend for herself, she has instead frequented a local Walmart, where she is able to purchase the pills that she needs a few at a time, but never enough for a full course. She visits a community nonprofit pharmacy for the poor that provides her some of her needed medication, but not all. </p> <p>In short, she takes what pills she can get when she is able to afford them, an ad hoc arrangement that has seen her symptoms return with a vengeance.</p> <p>She recently paid $25 to visit a subsidized clinic where a doctor warned her that her kidney is now failing -- probably because of the effects of her medication. She could soon require dialysis. Should that come to pass, she has no idea what she will do.</p> <p>Not for the first time -- and probably not for the last -- she diagnosed her own condition in starkly simple terms. </p> <p>"I don't have insurance," she said. "I don't have any money. I pray to God I get my Medicaid back. I pray every day, because I've got no insurance for anything."</p> <p> <img alt="Where the States Stand" border="0" src="http://www.advisory.com/~/media/Advisory-com/Daily-Briefing/2012/11/DB_medicaid_map_lg.jpg" width="800" /><br /> Via: The Advisory Board Company</p> <p class="video_box_title">Also on HuffPost:</p> <p>";
