Somewhere, at this very moment, hundreds of thousands - perhaps millions - of technical folks are figuring out new ways for our "voices to be heard". The successor to FaceBook, MySpace and Twitter resides somewhere in the fevered brain of some whizkid even as we speak. Would it be too much to ask for a simple BS filter before we invent even more ways for people to post BS? ...

confirmed that they seized a shipment of missile system components bound for Iran, according to official statements that could put the Islamic Republic in violation of international bans on such behavior. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, or DPSU, announced late last week that it had seized at least 17 boxes filled with missile components bound for Iran, according to IHS Jane’s. “The DPSU said that, during an inspection of the aircraft on 19 January, its personnel had found 17 ...

On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its annual report on health insurance coverage in the United States. News media widely misconstrued the data and presented the problems facing the nation's health care system through a distorted lens. Many major news outlets made a basic error when reporting on the Census Bureau study. The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the number of Americans with no health insurance rose in 2010 to 49.9 million from 49 million the year before." But the figure c ...

So....a friend is for our US health care reform (already retired and on Medicare) because he had no trouble going to Canada to get laser surgery on his eyes so he wouldn't have to wear glasses and states there is nothing wrong with the Canadian system....but, and I'm asking a serious question here, how long do people really wait for emergent surgery if they belong to the Canadian system versus the American system as we have it now? How did Canada get their health care system up and ru ...

Newly released emails from Wikileaks show Hillary Clinton staffers debating how they can best use the death of a black man to further their agenda. The email began as a request for an essay by Clinton from Marie Claire who was partnering with Harvard University on a study about women and guns but it quickly devolved into brainstorming ideas on how to push the campaign’s anti-gun and racial narratives. The team began discussing an article published in “The Guardian&r ...

I am writing this with the full knowledge of my dear friend who just discovered about a month ago she has HPV. I told her I would ask other MTs who might have a little information about this. First of all, she is telling me she does not fully understand her physician, language barrier there and when asking questions she was told she was exaggerating the issue! She is a person who is very involved in her church yet I doubt she has been able to talk with someone there, very embarrassed about her s ...

My husband's father was in the military and served in VietNam 3 times. He just passed right after divorcing his wife. His wife now says that in between hospitalizations she took him to the JP and they re-married and he changed his will (8 days after he made the will after the divorce). Now that is enough to grasp but here is the clincher. She is telling the family that the military won't bury him for 8 days (because they are so busy) and after the 1 hour viewing ...

Please take action to support a comprehensive climate and energy bill. In the last year alone, new evidence has emerged that the climate crisis is nearer—and scarier—than we had believed. Please take action now to urge your Senators to support comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation that will reinvigorate our economy and create millions of new jobs. The stakes are high. We must start cutting our carbon emissions now, or we may soon lose the ability to prev ...

I watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta's piece on CNN this week where he was explaining why hospital costs were so high. Of all the bills collected by the hospital from all sources they only end up actually collecting 4%, that's 4 cents for every dollar billed! To compensate, they bill accordingly so they come out even or ahead, $800 for a disposable chest tube that in reality costs less than $50 from the supplier. This was really shocking to me! To be fair, labor need ...

It is outrageous that the government funds George Soros' Tide Foundation and Tides Center, with his hatred for American values. I don't know if they still get government funding but I would think they do. The Tides Foundation and/or Open Society Foundation give millions to the ACLU and Human Rights Watch. The Government also gave funds the LaRaza. Tides Foundation In 2009, their total assets were $192,219,967 Between 1997 and 2001, they received grants from the followi ...

Does anyone know of a friend or relative diagnosed with the above? My daughter has been under the care of lung, RA and FP docs for the above. She started out with bleeding in the lungs on vacation. She was treated with high-dose steroids for almost 6 months and then tapered to off. All the usual blood tests for sarcoidosis and Wegener's have been done and still nothing showing positive except a slightly elevated RA factor. She had a coughing spell last week wit ...

My brother has been admitted to a rehab facility for treatment of his diabetic leg wound, with apparent debridement down to bone from what he tells me. The problem is, he has Alzheimer's, is understandably depressed, and sounds pretty sedated when I call him. His wife is elderly and ill and hospitalized herself and doesn't comprehend much. I'd like to know more about his condition and what's being done for it and the prognosis for release. I ...

I was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration yesterday. I know what this entails. My father was diagnosed in his 80s although might have had it prior to that time. He had the wet type. I think it usually starts with the dry and then can go into the wet. He wound up being legally blind in 1 eye and possibly had some issues with the other one. I am going to do everything possible to strive towards paying off any big outstanding bills over this upcoming year. I have 2 charge accts and want t ...

The latest bombshell email revelation from former top IRS official Lois Lerner shows her actively trying to hide information from Congress just days after learning of the Investigator General report on the IRS targeting of the Tea Party and conservative groups. Lerner stated that she had been “cautioning” fellow IRS employees to be “cautious about what we say in emails” because “Congress has asked for emails”. She was also concerned with hiding information shared through an IRS i ...

Today he used our money, the "stimulant" package, to buy the Nebraska vote to get it through the senate, just like he used it to buy the Louisiana vote to get it through the house.

This job can cause severe mental health problems. I've been working at home for 12 years and the isolation has taken its toll on me. That, in combination with meeting such high line counts my brain is always "racing". I think I'm done with this profession for good. Its just not worth it anymore. Be careful not to fall into the depression that comes along with this job working at home and the anxiety that eventually builds up. It is not healthy to be ...

Hello, Can anyone recommend an affordable health insurance plan (if there is such a thing) as I subcontract and insurance is not offered at my present job.

I have a bra question. I've recently learned that I have been wearing the wrong size bra for years (who hasn't unfortunately). I was sized at Victoria Secret and am a size 34DDD. I've always worn bigger size bras to fit the cups and had spillage and still had a gap in the band part, no matter the size or style, and now I know why they never fit properly. Well, VS has my size 34DDD (of course) in many styles but they are at least $50 for one bra and way out of my price range, n ...
