Democrat ad campaign lies about alleged GOP 'cuts' for Ebola research
Democrat ad campaign lies about alleged GOP 'cuts' for Ebola research - National Elections | Examiner.com
"This influx of cash will raise the CDC budget to $6.9 billion, which is $567 million more than it received in 2013," the Atlanta Business Chronicle said. "This is more than the agency anticipated, because the president’s fiscal year 2014 budget request for it was just $6.6 billion — a decrease of $270 million from fiscal 2012."
On Monday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced advertisements claiming House Republicans cut funding for Ebola research while "protecting tax breaks for special interests." But there's only one problem, as the National Review's Jim Geraghty observed. In January, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill that gave the CDC a whopping 8.2 percent budget increase for fiscal year 2014.
But according to Democrats, mean, evil Republicans cut the CDC's funding. Geraghty notes those evil, miserly Republicans barely passed the measure by a 376-5 vote. And as we reported earlier today, the NIH announced the trial of an experimental Ebola vaccine based on a chimpanzee “cold” virus in August.
As it turns out, it was the Senate -- controlled by Democrats -- who refused to consider a House bill to fund the NIH during the partial government shutdown last year. That shutdown took place when Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Republicans it would be his way or the highway on Obamacare spending. Reid lashed out when asked by CNN's Dana Bash why he wouldn't fund a measure to help children with cancer.
"Why would we want to do that?" Reid asked in response. "I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own. To have someone of your intelligence to suggest such a thing maybe means you’re irresponsible and reckless."
Now Democrats are running ads attempting to rewrite history in a desperate attempt to politicize the Ebola crisis. Worse yet, Townhall political editor Guy Benson said the ad claiming that GOP cuts "kill" Americans "features footage of Africans dying of Ebola."
"Just when you think the Dems can't get any lower, here they come," one person said. "They have no morals at all."

"About 23 seconds into the proceedings, we stop and realize that someone is taking their time to film a woman taking her time taking the perfect selfie.

It's derogatory and even Not Safe For Work.
The selfie-taker has no idea she's being filmed.
Would she care anyway?
It's hard to know.
Her greater concern, having reached facial satisfaction, is to achieve a fine angle on her bottom."

Jerry Brown Passes Law Forcing Doctors to Undergo LGBT Sensitivity Training
Jerry Brown Passes Law Forcing Doctors to Undergo LGBT Sensitivity Training
Gov. Jerry Brown just signed a law requiring that California health care providers be trained to better understand the specific health needs of the LGBT community.
The law is meant to target inequities in medical treatment for LGBT patients who, according to the San Francisco Examiner, suffer from a lack of provider understanding of gay and transgendered health issues.
Gov. Jerry Brown just signed a law requiring that California health care providers be trained to better understand the specific health needs of the LGBT community.
The law is meant to target inequities in medical treatment for LGBT patients who, according to the San Francisco Examiner, suffer from a lack of provider understanding of gay and transgendered health issues.
Assemblyman Richard Gordon, D-Menlo Park, who authored the original bill AB 496, contends that LGBT patients have a variety of negative experiences with doctors and other healthcare professionals.
Lesbian couples complain that they have difficulty finding OB-GYN doctors willing to counsel them with in vitro fertilization options. Gordon adds that gays and lesbians criticize hospital staff for not treating them with respect while visiting their hospitalized life partners.
Jason Galisatus, a gay-rights activist for the Peninsula region of San Francisco claims that gay senior citizens are being drawn back into the closet when dealing with insensitive hospital staff. The activist hopes that the new law will make it easier for gays to discuss important health issues like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a HIV preventative drug, with their doctor.
Because gay men, transgender people and people of color incur greater rates of HIV infection, Galisatus explains that it's crucial that they are comfortable talking with doctors about their medical histories and risk factors.
If You're Traveling Abroad, The State Department Has A Message For You...
Lovely.
According to the source, U.S. citizens are "prime targets for terrorists' kidnapping, and animals like ISIS have stepped up their "rhetoric calling for additional attacks or kidnapping attempts on westerners."
I never liked traveling abroad anyway, but some of you out there may have, so...you know."

Teachers say partisan politics, costs and lack of choice convinced them to leave Wisconsin union
Teachers say partisan politics, costs and lack of choice convinced them to leave Wisconsin union - EAGnews.org:
"The new law also limits union collective bargaining primarily to wages, which cannot increase faster than the consumer price index.
The result has been a mass exodus of educators from union rolls.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that “after Act 10, WEAC has lost about a third of its approximately 98,000 members and AFT- Wisconsin (another teachers union) is down to about 6,500 members from its peak of approximately 16,000.”
At the same time, membership in professional teacher organizations has steadily increased in Wisconsin, according to Kristi Lacroix, the state’s chief recruiter for the Association of American Educators, which provides liability insurance and other benefits for school employees at a fraction of the cost of union dues."

Slow credit card verification lands Florida man in jail
Slow credit card verification lands Florida man in jail | Ars Technica
Last week a man was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, FL when his two credit cards were declined after he spent $600 on bottle service at a nightclub.
In fact, he was able to pay his $1,000 bail the next morning using one of the credit cards that was declined earlier.
Last week a man was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, FL when his two credit cards were declined after he spent $600 on bottle service at a nightclub.
The story wouldn't be all that interesting were it not for the fact that the man, Don Marcani, had not reached his credit limit that night.
In fact, he was able to pay his $1,000 bail the next morning using one of the credit cards that was declined earlier.
As Marcani told NBC 6 South Florida, he and his friend used a Wells Fargo credit card to buy $80-worth of drinks at the bar of Cyn Nightclub.
Then they decided to move into the VIP section, costing them $600.
The waitress took Marcani's credit card, but when she tried to run the credit card later that night, it was declined.
Marcani then provided a Capital One credit card, which was also declined.
As Marcani told NBC, “The club manager called my bank and gave me the phone to talk to the bank and that’s when the cop interfered and I think he said, ‘I’m tired of this shit.
We even told them, 'walk us, escort us to the ATM machine.'”
According to Marcani, the officer arrived at the scene at 3:49am.
A few minutes later, at 3:57am, Marcani reportedly received an e-mail from Capital One asking him to verify the charge, but he wasn't able to check the e-mail because he was already handcuffed and the police confiscated his phone.
The next morning Broward County Jail successfully charged $1,000 to Marcani's credit card for bail.

U-M sets date for $400,000 transplantation of 200-year-old burr oak tree | MLive.com:
"The costly, months-long process of uprooting a 65-foot-tall, 250-year-old tree will culminate later this month as the University of Michigan has set a move day for the history burr oak at the Ross School of Business.
Officials announced today that the relocation of the tree is scheduled to take place Saturday, Oct. 25, weather permitting.
A crew began the $400,000 process of excavating and moving the legacy burr oak tree in July in order to make way for the school's $135 million, donor-funded expansion at the school.
The cost was factored into the overall cost of the project before it was approved by the Board of Regents."

Regional transportation agency seeks public comment on rural transit in Muskegon, Lakeshore community
Regional transportation agency seeks public comment on rural transit in Muskegon, Lakeshore community | MLive.com:
"In Muskegon County, many residents await expanded service to more rural parts of the region, including Holton, Montague, White Lake and Ravenna townships.
Maps outlining service to those communities will soon be provided to the public, according to the Muskegon Area Transit System website.
Last year, the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners approved the $1.35 million purchase of three 35-foot buses that would expand service in those northern, southern and southeastern sections of the county.
A grant from the National Infrastructure Investment Program made the procurement possible. Muskegon County Community Development Director Bob Lukens said at the time that rural bus service, a strategic plan of MATS, would not be in place until late 2014 or early 2015. "

Dam breaks in Europe as deflation fears wash over ECB rhetoric
Dam breaks in Europe as deflation fears wash over ECB rhetoric - Telegraph
A key gauge of deflation risk in Europe is flashing red, dropping to record lows on fears of fresh recession and lack of decisive action by the European Central Bank.
The sudden lurch downwards came as Bank of America warned that France’s debt ratio could rocket to 120pc of GDP within five years, unless the EU authorities take radical steps to reflate the region’s economy. Italy’s debt could threaten 150pc even earlier.
The 5-year/5-year forward swap rate monitored closely by traders plummeted beneath 1.77pc on Friday morning as a global growth scare drove European stock markets to a 12-month low.
“This rate is the most important market signal on the planet right now.
Everybody is watching the chart, and it has just gone off a cliff,” said Andrew Roberts, credit chief at RBS.

Here’s a tax you might not typically think of: the tax on your cell phone.
It’s worth considering.
According to the Tax Foundation, four cities — Chicago, Baltimore, Omaha, and New York City—have effective tax rates in excess of 25 percent of the customer bill.
They report, on average, “Americans pay an average of 17.05 percent in combined federal, state, and local tax and fees on wireless service.
This is comprised of a 5.82 percent federal rate and an average 11.23 percent state-local tax rate.”

....“Wireless taxes and fees are regressive and have a disproportionate impact on poorer citizens,” said Scott Mackey of KSE Partners and co-author of the Tax Foundation report. “Excessive taxes and fees may reduce low-income consumers’ access to wireless service at a time when such access is critical to economic success.”
