Lessons for today's 'shutdown' debacle

Romneycare, Mr. Obama said over and over, had been the model for the Affordable Care Act "Obamacare" now at the center of a highly toxic congressional debate that could see a government shutdown when the new fiscal year begins at midnight Monday.

[Latest update: The Republican led House has tied a spending bill that louboutin Shoes Outlet would avert a shutdown to delaying Obamacare for one year. That kicks it back to the Senate, where Democratic leaders say that's a no go. The Senate isn't scheduled to meet again until Monday, just hours before many federal programs could halt or be slowed down as hundreds of thousands of civilian employees are furloughed.]

Mr. Romney signed the Massachusetts program into law in 2006. So seven years later, how has it done? More to the political point, what do people in the Bay State think of their health care insurance system which, like Obamacare, includes an individual mandate requiring everyone to obtain coverage or face a fine and a marketplace where the uninsured can purchase coverage?

At first, there was a lot of skepticism in Massachusetts from those on the right against "socialized medicine," and from those on the left pushing for a single payer system.

The Providence Journal next door in Rhode Island had this to say about Romneycare on its editorial page Sunday:

"The big difference between the programs is that the federal version puts more emphasis on controlling costs. That makes Obamacare arguably more conservative than the original Romneycare.

"For example, Obamacare proposes bundling payments for a medical condition. That means payment will be a set amount covering the soup to nuts treatment for an ailment, such as foot surgery. That removes incentives for ordering more tests or treatments than needed while rewarding medical providers for doing a good job Wholesale Atlanta Falcons Jerseys the first time around.

"It bears noting that Massachusetts is less generous in determining who gets subsidies. It helps pay for the coverage of those earning up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level. The federal government sets the limit for subsidies at up to 400 percent of the poverty level."

So Obamacare is "more conservative" than Romneycare (at least in its original form), according to this analysis.

Romneycare got tweaked over the years, including in ways that control costs. As a result, the Providence newspaper points out, the fiscally conservative Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation has called Romneycare "a well thought out piece of legislation."

"There's fake oakley sunglasses a lot of wild accusations that the law is breaking the bank in Massachusetts, and that is simply not the case," foundation president Michael Widmer told Forbes during the 2012 presidential campaign. "I think the state's healthcare reform has been a huge success and is probably the best policy achievement in the last 25 years."

A recent poll by the Massachusetts Medical Society, a statewide physician group, finds that most people in Massachusetts today are generally satisfied with the health care system there.

"Eighty four percent of residents expressed satisfaction with the care they received over the last year, including 56 percent who indicated they are 'very satisfied' and 28 percent who are 'somewhat satisfied,'" the survey report states. Seventy three percent of residents reported that gaining access to Wholesale Carolina Panthers Jerseys health care they need is "not difficult," Wholesale Baltimore Ravens Jerseys and for serious medical problems, 86 percent said the amount of time they needed to wait was not a problem.

While no health care insurance system private or public is perfect, the bottom line in Massachusetts, as the Hill newspaper in Washington reported last month, is that "The vast majority of Massachusetts residents are satisfied with their healthcare under the state's 2006 reform law."

That may have been what Sen. Ted Cruz (R) of Texas chief opponent of Obamacare was worrying about recently.

Speaking to fellow conservative Sean Hannity on Fox News, he warned that Americans would become so happy with Obamacare "addicted" is the word he used that opponents like himself would never be able to kill it.

Grizzly bears overhunted in B

government's claim the province's trophy grizzly bear hunt is sustainable, saying the kill rates are too high and the population estimates are too inaccurate. in June, 2013. (Espen Lynne)

SFU biologist Kyle Artelle says in half the population groups around the province where hunting is permitted, more Cheap Buffalo Bills Jerseys grizzlies have been killed than even government targets allow.

In at least one regional population, hunters killed 24 more bears than the local quota allowed.

Artelle says that even wildlife managers don't know how many bears are out there because on the ground surveys have only been done for about 15 percent of the province, meaning most population estimates come from computer models or expert opinion.

And, cheap oakley sunglasses outlet he says, because of the wide range of potential errors in those estimates, the hunting quotes may be too lax.

"In a way it's a bit like a game of Russian roulette. The data just don't let us have a precise picture on how big that threat is. But it is a considerable risk based on that uncertainty."

But Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys Andrew Wilson, director of Fish fake oakleys and Wildlife at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, is confident in how grizzly bears are managed and said the government's own analysis supports the current hunt.

"The information that I have and the information that we use to manage, we feel is the best available science and it's based on the information we have at hand," said Wilson.

"I'm confident in our abilities to manage grizzly bears and to manage the hunt based on those numbers."

The researchers say the government should learn from the mistakes made by fisheries managers that allowed overfishing to lead to the collapse of many fish stocks.

"Grizzly bears' low Cheap Carolina Panthers Jerseys rate of reproduction makes them highly vulnerable and slow to recover from population declines," said Artelle.

When wolves returned to the park in 1995 after a 70 year absence, they preyed on elk herds that browsed on trees and shrubs.

The elk population, which had exploded without the wolves, dropped. The over browsed plants began to rebound, including berry producing shrubs that provide nutritious summer meals for grizzlies when they are fattening up for hibernation. "The reintroduction of one top predator is potentially affecting another top predator through this food web."

Ripple and his fellow researchers at OSU and Washington State University compared the frequency of fruit found in grizzly bear scat to elk numbers before and after the wolf reintroduction. Over a 19 year period, they found that the average proportion of fruit in grizzly scat rose significantly after wolves returned to Yellowstone and the elk population fell.

The Cheap Buffalo Bills Jerseys scientists examined and rejected other possible explanations for the smaller, pre wolf proportion of fruit in grizzly diets, such as climate influences or the operation of open pit garbage dumps that served as bear mess halls before the last one was closed in 1970.

Previous research by Ripple and colleagues has demonstrated other ways in which the gray wolf's return has had a cascading effect in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the wildest in the lower 48 states.

Ripple's work was the first to show that aspens declined after wolves were eliminated from the park in the 1920s. When fake oakleys wolves returned and drove down the elk numbers, scientists saw a Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys resurgence of aspen, cottonwood and willows in some parts of the park that has in turn led to an increase in beavers.

"We're in the early stages of this ecosystem recovery," Ripple said. "This is what we call passive restoration.

The Yellowstone region's whitebark pines have been dying en masse, the victim of beetle kills promoted in part by milder winters. Wildlife biologists worry that the diminishing nut crop could hurt grizzly survival.

Frank van Manen, a federal wildlife biologist and leader of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team for the Greater cheap oakley sunglasses outlet Yellowstone Ecosystem, said that Ripple's study was intriguing but that experiments were needed to prove the wolf bear connection.

"I look at this as more of a hypothesis rather than an established cause and effect," said van Manen, adding that his team has found that bears ate a lot of berries in some years before the wolf's return.

"There's no real scientific consensus yet about a lot of these cascading effects," he said. "If we really want to answer some of these questions about ecological cascades, we're going to have to set up some pretty intensive and broad scale experiments."

Louis County prosecutor pulls his support of Dooley in next election

Dear Miss Manners I have a 3 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. My best friend has two daughters, roughly the same ages, and is of theDespite pleas, teen won't leave abusive homeOffering good thoughts without bad remindersMissouri Supreme Court won't hear adoption challenge from Guatemalan motherAt 20, 'old maid' seeks dating adviceDemanding customers mistake hesitation for ignoranceQ The tricky situation of gift buying for co workersA gruesome end to the UFC main eventThe top Weatherbirds of 2013Top 5 country music concerts of the yearTimberlake, Gaga top list of best concertsA Look Back 1930 New Year's Eve kidnapping of Adolphus Busch OrtweinRaja's birthday today through the yearsCLAYTON Citing a litany of michael kors outlet improprieties and mismanagement he contends has damaged Charlie Dooley's ability to lead, St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch has informed the county executive he will not support his re election bid next year.

During an Oct. 1 meeting in the embattled county leader's office, McCulloch also encouraged Dooley to step aside for another candidate.

Both men are Democrats.

"The credibility of St. Louis fake oakley sunglasses County government has been destroyed by all of these incidents," McCulloch said in an interview Wednesday with the Post Dispatch. "He's the chief executive officer and that's the person who bears the responsibility. He disagrees with that and doesn't believe he bears any responsibility."

Apprised of McCulloch's remarks, Dooley lashed out at the prosecutor.

"It is none of Bob McCulloch's business how this county is run," Dooley said of the meeting. "He told me about things he knows nothing about."

McCulloch characterized Dooley's refusal to accept responsibility for a growing list of controversies during the past 18 months as "distressing."

The list McCulloch cited includes the appointment of a county real estate official with a felony conviction for embezzling federal housing funds, the hiring of a tax collector delinquent on her own taxes, the $3.7 million crime lab contract that has ensnared former police board president Gregory Sansone in an FBI investigation and the top health department administrator who committed suicide last month after it was discovered he'd operated a fake company that collected $3.4 million from county contracts.

"People are starting to come up to me on the street and ask me what is going on with county government, so it's beginning to affect everyone who is associated with county government," said McCulloch. "There has been so much damage to the credibility of St. Louis County government that can't be repaired by Charlie."

Dooley brushed aside the criticism, revealing that it red bottom shoes was not the first time McCulloch has urged him to abandon a campaign for the county's top office.

"Bob McCulloch did not want me to run (the first year he sought the office) in 2004 and he told me six months ago he didn't want me to run," said Dooley.

The McCulloch disclosure comes on the heels of an announcement that St. Louis area labor organizations will also withhold support for Dooley in 2014.

The county executive shrugged off the loss of the endorsements while vehemently emphasizing his intent to remain in the race.

Neither the labor factions nor McCulloch "knocked on doors for me, anyway," he said.

McCulloch disputed Dooley's claims, noting he'd known Dooley when Dooley served as the mayor of Northwoods and supported him in his successful bid that made him the first African American elected to the County Council, and in previous bids to be county executive.

The prosecutor declined to name a candidate he will endorse next Christian louboutin Outlet Sale year.

McCulloch himself was michael kors outlet online mentioned as a possible successor to George "Buzz" Westfall, the longtime county executive who died in office in 2003.

Democratic officials instead tapped Dooley to serve the remainder of Westfall's term. Dooley won the 2004 special election as well as re election bids in 2006 and 2010.

Early shoulder injury to QB Rodgers puts Bears at competitive advantage

GREEN BAY, Wis. The Bears had sympathy for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. But only so much.

''Man, we don't care who's in the game,'' said Bears defensive end Julius Peppers. ''We wish him a speedy recovery and all that. But we didn't have Jay [Cutler] in the game. Or Lance [Briggs]. We had guys out.''

But there was no denying that Rodgers' absence after suffering a shoulder injury in the first quarter made a difference. Rodgers came in 8 2 against the Bears with 19 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 102.6 passer rating. His replacement, journeyman Seneca Wallace, was 11 for 19 for 114 yards, no touchdowns, one interception and a 53.4 rating. That's pretty significant.

''Right,'' Peppers said. ''But who cares?''

The Bears sure don't after beating the Packers 27 20 on Monday night at Lambeau Field. Rodgers was 1 for 2 for 27 yards in seven snaps before he suffered the injury when Shea McClellin sacked him to force the Packers to settle for Mason Crosby's 30 yard field goal for a 3 0 lead. He never returned.

''That was huge,'' Bears safety Chris Conte said. ''I think we played him pretty well when he was in there. We held them to a field goal on that first drive. But when he got discount red bottom shoes hurt, they committed to the run. It would have been a different game had he not gotten hurt.''

Wallace, 33, is 6 15 as a starter in eight NFL seasons and had not thrown a pass replica christian louboutin in a regular season NFL game since 2011. Suddenly, Josh McCown was the best quarterback on the field certainly the most prepared quarterback on the field. It tilted the game in the Bears' favor.

''Of course,'' Conte said. ''He's an awesome player. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. If he's not in there, it's helping us and hurting them. You never want to see a guy like that get hurt. You want their best effort. But it definitely was something cheap jerseys that helped us win the game.''

The Packers relied on running back Eddie Lacy, who had six carries in the first seven plays with Wallace at quarterback. But Rodgers' absence was soon felt. Wallace was 0 for 3 on third down passes in the second quarter as the Packers fell behind 14 10. And the Packers were 1 for 9 on third down conversions for the game. A michael kors outlet store week ago, Rodgers was 10 of 10 for 172 yards and two touchdowns and a perfect 158.3 rating on third down. And the Packers were 13 of 18 for the game.

On short notice, Wallace was far from perfect. And not even close to Aaron Rodgers.

''That's the nature of the game,'' Bears cornerback Tim Jennings said. ''I think it put more pressure on them, because they had practiced with Aaron Rodgers all week. We just had to adjust on the fly and we put eight in the box to stop the run. We made michael kors factory outlet the proper adjustments to slow them down.''

1000 lumens

We decided his brother Christian louboutin Shoes Outlet would appreciate an XM L with 3000K correlated color temperature. It closely mimics the light from halogen car headlights. But first, a few words on how you'll be powering this monster. To access the switch, remove the rubber boot covering the, well, switch. You'll need a 5/64" or 2mm hex wrench to remove the switch from the body. Some of the lights they build really make mine look workmanlike in comparison.

If you're not so sure about building one yourself, but the idea of a custom Mag floats your boat, you'll want to check out Jayrob's XM L Maglite sales thread on CPF! Jayrob wasn't the first to modify Maglites with 10+ Watt LEDs, but he'll build you one exactly the way you want it. Jayrob has impeccable feedback because he backs up what he sells 110% and he goes over every detail with you so you'll make an informed choice. He has options for custom battery voltage monitors, superior reflectors, even a cut down 1D stubby version check it out!

Now, you budding flashoholic, Cheap Bills Jerseys you. I bet you're thinking, "the good old Maglite is decent: they're made in USA, tough as nails, and they are fairly inexpensive here in the States." Well, I would have to agree with you. I practically guarantee this Mag build Cheap Atlanta Falcons Jerseys will put a grin on your face if you've ever owned or used what is the quintessential flashlight to so many.

With a modicum of skill, resourcefulness, and patience you can modify your incandescent or LED Mag with a Cree XM L LED, turning it into a powerhouse flashlight capable of 1000+ emitter lumens, regulated output, and multiple brightness levels. The great thing is it retains the familiar Maglite styling. A majority of high output flashlights these days try to sell tacticool features and hyper militant styling and simply look tacky (pocket shredding "assault crown bezels?"). The Mag design is timeless, practical, and the body makes it a great mod host (it's a big mass of aluminum).

Below: six Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys thousand word essay on real world performance

Thank you! I'll upload and annotate photos documenting the rest of the build shortly.

The original smooth incandescent reflector does a pretty good job once you cut off the cam so the LED can be focused, and it requires a slightly raised pedestal (8 or so millimeters) so the LED can be properly focused. In my experience the incandescent reflector works much better with cool white tints than it does with neutral and warm white tints. A warmer tint XM L (5000K or less) in this kind fake oakleys of reflector results in a flat yellow hotspot that does not resemble a Planckian black body radiator (imagine the color of French's Mustard.).

The above beamshots feature a warm white XM L. However, I used Mag's deep LED reflector for that particular build. It blends the warmer tint emitted at wider angles and the cooler light emitted elsewhere from the die. The tint is consistent throughout the beam and bears strong resemblance to an incandescent light source (3000K), which is what my friend wanted. The deep reflector does not require much if any kind of raised pedestal for the emitter in order to focus properly; the focal point is approximately at the lip of the opening.

Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any other questions or if my explanations require clarification. Some ideas are difficult to summarize succinctly!

Think RGIII Should Be Playing CBS DC

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) San Francisco linebacker Ahmad Brooks , who got an up close look at Robert Griffin III in a 27 6 victory over the Redskins Monday night and had two of the 49ers' four Wholesale Atlanta Falcons Jerseys sacks told CSN Washington after the game, he doesn't feel like Griffin should even be playing.

The question that prompted Brooks' answer asked by CSN's JP Finlay was neither leading, nor did it appear to be soliciting a response specific to RGIII's health.

"All week, a ton of RGIII stuff in the news, were you guys amped up to go against him, or how'd you feel you did," Finlay asked Brooks in the locker room. "Numbers looked great."

"RGIII man, me personally man, I'm not the type of person to talk about other people and what I think Wholesale Carolina Panthers Jerseys about other people, I mean he's obviously a man and he makes his own decisions and whatnot, but I personally don't feel like he should be playing right now, man," Brooks said.

Finlay: Really, because of the injury or what?

Brooks: Yea, I just don't think he should be playing. That's my opinion.

Finlay: You just don't think he's 100 percent?

Brooks: I don't think so. And you fake oakley sunglasses can see it. Everybody can see it. Everybody can see it.

Finlay: Why do you think he's out there then?

Brooks: Because he's a man, he has the heart of a warrior; you know what I'm saying. He has the heart of a warrior, and a warrior's gonna go out there and play and fight regardless of the circumstance.

Finlay: So louboutin Shoes Outlet playing him tonight versus seeing him last year, I mean, you can clearly tell that

Brooks: Everybody can see Wholesale Baltimore Ravens Jerseys it. Everybody can see it.

Griffin was 17 for 27 passing last night for 127 yards, zero touchdowns (when the Redskins desperately could have used one, or three) and threw one interception, for a 58.7 overall passer rating.

The more telling stat though is the threat of Griffin tucking the ball and running. He has 367 yards on the ground through 2013 including 6 attempts for 22 yards against San Francisco with no end zone appearances, as compared to the 642 yards and 6 touchdowns he had by this point last season.

vaunted defense loses fear factor against NFL opponents

Maybe they just don fear Dick LeBeau any longer. Or Troy Polamalu. Or LaMarr Woodley. Or the black helmet with a logo on only one side.

They certainly don fear to tread the middle any longer, not like they did when man mountain Casey Hampton patrolled it. They not hesitant to go up top, not after Tom Brady produced 31 points in a quarter and a half by doing so.

Imagine this: The Steelers defense, statistically the NFL best for three of the past four seasons, is the worst in the AFC North. The Browns (No. 5), Bengals (No. 6) and Ravens (No. 13) rank ahead of the No. 14 Steelers, who have looked vulnerable even while winning michael kors outlet four of their past six.

A few years ago, how many teams would have dared to risk a fake field goal against the Steelers, as the Lions did Sunday? Or go for it on fourth and 3?

The Steelers cheap red bottom shoes are allowing about twice as many rushing yards per game " 125.2 " as they did only three years ago (62.8).

This goes against an NFL trend in which teams are running the ball a combined average of only 53.8 times per game, down from an average of 73.8 in 1976.

I think it an accumulation of a lot of things, Polamalu said as the Steelers (4 6) began practicing for their key AFC North game Sunday at Cleveland. We just haven played well as a team in general. When you don play well as a team, it gives their offense an opportunity to make plays.

And the Steelers aren making plays defensively, certainly not like they did during their Super Bowl seasons in 2008 and 2010.

Some weeks we play extremely well, some weeks we don safety Ryan Clark said. When you give guys the opportunity to make plays and michael kors outlet online you don cover people, people are going to catch the ball.

They not being overwhelmed by the pass, despite the fact NFL teams are throwing 10.5 percent more than they did five years ago. The Steelers have allowed 2,156 yards passing and 12 touchdown passes, down from 2,391 yards in 2010.

But they given up 18 passes of 25 yards or longer, including a 79 yarder Sunday to Calvin Johnson of Detroit and an 81 yarder two weeks before that to rookie Aaron Dobson of New England; they allowed only 19 all of last season. And the Patriots 55 points and 610 yards were the most against any Steelers team.

We have given up more plays this year than we have in the past, Polamalu said. That just a fact.

That 2010 defense was so dominant against the run, their opponents 333 rushing attempts were the fewest since the NFL adopted a 16 game schedule. Now the Steelers are a lowly 26th against the run.

It a copycat league, and every game, a team is going to come in and try to run it, Foote said. If you stop it, they go to passing. If you ain stopping it, the game plan will be run.

We'll never see an athlete like Detroit Lions' Calvin Johnson again

It's long been determined that Jerry Rice is the NFL's all time greatest receiver (if not greatest player).

Grantland's Bill Simmons isn't so sure anymore.

We offer up his latest piece on Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson, adequately titled "All Hail Megatron." Simmons revels in Johnson's ability to dominate the NFL while not being so polarizing. He also compares the season Megatron's on pace to have he's at 1,083 yards and 11 touchdowns through 10 games so far with some of the great receiving seasons of all time by the likes of Rice, Randy Moss, Lance Alworth and more.

Here are a couple notable passages from the article:

"I can't remember any receiver other than Calvin Johnson pulling down more bombs while wearing three guys. I can't remember defensive backs bouncing off another receiver like it's a Pop Warner game. I can't remember a receiver swinging a line by more than a touchdown just by missing a game which is exactly what happened with Johnson in Week 5 (against Green Bay). I can't remember watching another offense near the goal line and feeling like they were morons every time they didn't call the "unstoppable one yard corner lob to our freak of nature receiver" play. And other than Randy Moss, I can't remember being more excited about a receiver during that split second when his quarterback is heaving a football downfield, and the light bulb flickers on, and you say to yourself, "Wait, he's going deep!' ""In four decades of watching football, three receivers stand out for me over everyone else: Rice, Megatron and Moss. I'd take Rice for any discount red bottom shoes important game, Moss for any deep ball, and Megatron for any "sitting at home on a lazy October afternoon expecting to see someone kick ass for three hours" situation. I will remember watching all three. Even if it's too early to wonder if Megatron can leapfrog michael kors outlet store those other two, he has launched the conversation.

"That should be the most fascinating subplot of the Calvin Johnson era, but it's actually this one: I don't know if we'll ever see anything like michael kors factory outlet this again. And by "this," I mean "a 6 foot 5 freak receiver wreaking havoc on a football field every week."
