Reflections on Why Mr Obama Needs to Adjust
 |
| Time to adjust |
That particular photograph was hung off to the side.
Which is why the DMCB was not at all surprised by The New Yorker report about our Presidents remote and sterile governance style. While we can take some comfort in his fact-driven decision making, the no-drama Obama methodology of coolly processing the underlying legal, policy and political strengths and weaknesses is quite a contrast from the messy, interpersonal, shifting, intuitive and maddening style of his two predecessors.
So it should also be little wonder that Mr. Obamas methodology can lead to remarkably legalistic decisions like trying Mr. Khalid in civil court, giving the EPA jurisdiction over CO2, signing the Dodd Frank legislation and embracing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In each case, dissent was just a factor to be considered, disagreement a matter of misinterpretation and the decision the final product of reasoned judgment.
Which brings the DMCB to the Supreme Courts rude intrusion over the constitutionality of the ACA. The DMCB thinks that a watershed moment in this POTUS-SCOTUS narrative was when the President berated the Supremes to their faces during the 2010 State of the Union address. While there may have been some political theater involved, it seems Mr. Obama was also genuinely annoyed that his manifest logic hadnt prevailed. After all, since his decision-making is so right, the judges must have been so wrong.
Unfortunately, many of Mr. Obamas supporters have taken that attitude to a whole new style of hubris. When the ACA passed and the Tea Partiers registered their initial objections over notions of constitutional liberty, they were dismissed as either wacky radicals or dullards incapable of understanding the enlightenment of a supremely rational system. Even when conservative lawyers began to swarm in the lower federal courts, the consensus was that theirs was poorly conceived long-shot that was motivated by bad ideology. Even when the contrary lower court opinions began to accumulate, The Obama Posse et al showed no second thoughts.
What a difference three days makes. If the SCOTUS observers reports are any guide, the ACA opponents are within credible striking distance of overturning the mandate and gutting the entire law.
Which leads the DMCB back to Mr. Obamas holiday photograph. As the SCOTUS imbroglio plays out, it is times like this when Presidents pause, lect, reconsider and adjust. This is a time when doubt, second-guessing and what-did-I-get-wrong steps in. Smart people learn from it and become better decision-makers.
While a gauge of that will not necessarily be a new informality portrayed in pictures on Capitol Hill office walls, the DMCB and other voters will be watching to see what the President and his supporters have learned from this. The DMCB will be on the look-out for a more flexible and nuanced accommodation of contrary points of view that may not fit with a scrubbed lawyerly and political calculus.
The DMCB thinks that will be the true measure of our 44th President. Whats more, thatll be how many other messy, interpersonal, shifting, intuitive and maddening Americans decide to vote for or against him this fall.

Why Ice cream and Chocolates Can Be Dangerous
Dear friends, Each one of us like to enjoy those tricky chocolates and ice creams as the mouth watering taste cannot be resisted in any case. But, are you aware of the harm and danger of eating chocolates and ice creams. Do you know that those colorful looking chocolates and ice creams can be dangerous to your health? So, you should be caul while eating them especially when they carry some dangers with them.
The first and most obvious danger that you must know is that these tempting favorites of all are overloaded with artificial sugar. This sugar can cause diabetes, blood pressure, obesity, hardening of arteries and lot more. In children it causes anxiety, difficulty in concentrating, hyperactivity and overweight.
Secondly many chemicals are added to keep chocolates & ice creams fresh most of these chemicals are not healthy for your body. Artificial Colors & Sweeteners are also added to enhance the taste and visual effects for making an strong appeal to eat the stuff, but these can harm liver and kidney.
A lot of Emulsifier & Thickeners are added to maintain the desired structure/texture and to enhance the smooth texture of ice creams & chocolates. These chemicals are harmful for the body can cause allergies too.
Finally you will be shocked to know that these stuffs especially ice creams have products which contains animal source ingredient known as gelatin (made by boiling tissue, bones and skin of cows or pigs). Being a vegetarian you might be unintentionally eating it.
Besides all the above drawbacks these stuff contain a lot of Caffeine and bad fats- Chocolate is partially made of cocoa bean which is loaded with caffeine. Kids eating lot of chocolate are hyper due to presence of this caffeine. Calorie content of ice creams and chocolates is too high due to presence of a large amount of sugar. You can easily put on weight while eating such stuffs.
So be caul next time when you see such tasty devils ...... ha ha

The Coporatization of U S Health Care Why the Good Prognosis for Health Insurers ACOs May Be Guaranteed
 |
| Corporatization |
"Corporatization." It seems this White House likes it.
As the DMCB understands it, this is a policy agenda that favors the formation of huge corporate organizations that dominate the national business climate. Its argument is that, thanks to their size and scope, these gigantic private, public and not-for profit corporations are better able to marshal the resources it takes to launch transformative programs, achieve efficiencies, take risks and make profits that are beyond the normal reach of traditional commerce. Think about the hundreds of billions-of-dollars-approaches to housing, financial services, battery operated cars, high speed rail, solar power, privatized space travel and, last but not least, health care insurance and delivery.
A key ingredient of corporatization is "partnering" with government in a way that blurs the line between private enterprise and the public interest. Ingredients include government-backed financing, special tax breaks, loans, grants, mixed Boards of Directors and sovereign investment funds. The downsides are quite familiar also: crony capitalism and too-big-to-fail status
The best example of corporatization is China. Beijing centrally orchestrates many of its key economic sectors including finance, banking, housing, public transportation and heavy industry with an opaque mix of public and private companies. While political orms and respect for human rights have been found wanting, the prospect that China could eclipse the United States in the next 25 years has prompted many in the U.S. to admire China and reexamine the merits of old fashioned capitalism and unfettered markets. For an interesting example of that thinking, see this editorial by Andy Stern that recently appeared in the Wall Street Journal.
What could this explain and what are the implications?
1. The abandonment of the government-run "public option" early in the course of creating the Affordable Care Act. Despite his hostile anti-insurer rhetoric, Mr. Obamas ultimate belief in large mega-insurance corporations, a) regulations and b) public subsidies that bind the behemoth insurers to D.C. won the day. And it aint going away anytime soon.
2. The near ideological support by this Administration for Accountable Care Organizations. Despite little track record that ACOs offer a viable business model, the notion of large regional providers partnering with and led by CMS is fully consistent with a belief in corporatization. This makes the DMCB wonder if Mr. Obamas intent is to assure that ACOs succeed, no matter what.

5 reasons why walking is better than running
5 reasons why walking is better than running - According to one study, walking is actually as healthy as running. Because both are able to relieve stress and cholesterol, as well as lowering the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
But for some reason, it turned out even better walking than running. How can that be? See the first explanation, as reported by Mother Nature Network following.
Immune system
Walking health benefits in the long run. Because if the runners high risk of infection, the immune system does not harm feet. Not only that, run a marathon too risky to burn fat as well as muscle tissue. Thats what ultimately makes the bodys immune system weakened and susceptible to disease.
Heart health
For people who have a weak heart condition, running is not a sport that is suggested to them. Because running can actually be harmful to heart health. But the weak of heart patients can still benefit by way of foot health.
Joint
There are many cases of injuries suffered by athletes runners. They also often suffer from inflammation at the joints, such as the legs, hips, and other joints. Because running is reducing the lubricant which is located at the joints of the body. But the same thing will not happen to someone who often walk alone.
Cartilage
In addition to joints, cartilage is also most at risk of degradation due to run in the long term. Therefore, it can be said that walking is actually better than running.
Heat shock
Running is not advisable to do so in the hot weather. Because there is a high risk of a person exposed to heat shock conditions. Although walking in broad daylight also have the same risk, but the risk is much lower than with running.
Those are some reasons why walking is better than running. You yourself would prefer to run or walk?

Secrets Why Fasting Can Make Ageless
Many people are vying to come to a beauty salon or a plastic surgeon in order to look alluring and youthful even have to spend a lot because the cost did not want any wrinkles on the face. Though young and old are sunnatullah that must be experienced.
Actually, for those who want to stay young, no need to spend a lot of money to pay for beauty services or to purchase beauty products. Enough to take advantage of the fasting month. What is the scientific evidence?
Fasting will reduce or suspend physiological processes or metabolism in our body, especially in the digestive tract. Termination of the metabolic processes that take four series of processes that have a major impact on health.
When someone bepuasa mean it, first to limit the amount of food entering the digestive tract. Both he also has lowered the intensity of the digestive system.
And third, with the decline in the labor intensity, fell also the presence of toxins in the body, both endotoxins (toxins from the body itself) and exotoxin (toxins from outside the body). Fourth, the reduced material must be ingested will also make our bodies do not force yourself to secrete hormones and digestive enzymes on a large scale.
Imagine instead if Buddy did not fast? To be sure all the food that enters the body must digest. Inevitably, we will force our digestive organs to work harder.
Already a common understanding among the experts, which is referred to in essence is ageless aging process is inhibited. Among several theories of aging is the most famous one is the free radical theory that emerged in the 1950s.
Theory it reads, "if in our bodies by free radicals, the free radicals that are mobile (cell character) will destroy the cell wall. Destruction of the cell wall of aging will accelerate."
Fasting was potent protect cell walls. Cell wall can be maintained because there is no free radical or reduced because of fasting, then a young man "
There is a study which revealed that the fasting person, there will be reduction of MDA (melondealdehida) or free radicals are significantly up to 90%. Along with that, fasting increases antioxidant production by up to 15%.
So on one hand it was trimmed free radicals, on the other hand the enemies of free radicals or antioxidants improved. So we do not have to wonder anymore why fasting can make diligent young. see also why bad breath while fasting.

One study found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 43 percent lower risk of colon cancer. Other research shows that the pectin in apples reduces the risk of colon cancer and helps maintain a healthy digestive tract.
Kale is a rich source of organosulfur compounds, which is great at fighting many cancers, especially colon cancer. In other research, sulforaphane from Kale has been shown to have a more direct effect on cancer prevention, especially in colon cancer, inducing cancer cells to destroy themselves. This was seen in a recent study in which animals were genetically bred to develop intestinal polyps, a condition that leads to tumor formation. This group of animals was then fed sulforaphane and found to have higher rates of apoptosis (cell suicide) and smaller tumors that also grew more slowly than animals who received no sulforaphane.
A Brazilian study found that women who ate three apples or pears per day lost more weight while dieting than women who did not eat fruit while dieting.
Adding lemon juice to a beverage can help increase weight loss.
One of the main benefits of using kale in your juice blends is that it provides a large nutritional punch with one of the fewest calorie counts per cup of any other vegetable.
Celery calms the nerve because of the high calcium content & helps in controlling high blood pressure. Raw celery should be eaten to reduce high blood pressure.
When people who participated in the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Study added foods high in potassium, magnesium and fiber, their blood pressure dropped to healthier levels. Those people in the study who ate a diet rich in these compounds in addition to the other foods on this diet (low fat dairy foods, seafood, lean meat and poultry) lowered their blood pressure by 5.5 points (systolic) over 3.0 points (diastolic).
Drinking lemon juice is helpful for people suffering with heart problems as it contains potassium. It controls high blood pressure, dizziness, nausea as provides relaxation to mind and body. It reduces mental stress and depression.
In several studies, people with a history of eating lutein-rich foods like kale had up to 22% lower risk for cataracts, which would otherwise have been severe enough to require extraction.
A Cornell University study found that rats who ate one apple per day reduced their risk of breast cancer by 17 percent. Rats fed three apples per day reduced their risk by 39 percent and those fed six apples per day reduced their risk by 44 percent.
Recent studies shown that limonoids in lemons inhibit the development of cancer in laboratory animals and in human breast cancer cells.
One recent study shows that children with asthma who drank apple juice on a daily basis suffered from less wheezing than children who drank apple juice only once per month. Another study showed that children born to women who eat a lot of apples during pregnancy have lower rates of asthma than children whose mothers ate few apples.
Lemon juice assists in curing respiratory problems, along with breathing problems and revives a person suffering from asthma. Lemon, being a rich rich source of vitamin C, helps in dealing with respiratory disorders.
Research found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 57 percent lower risk of liver cancer.
A study on mice at Cornell University found that the quercetin in apples may protect brain cells from the kind of free radical damage that may lead to Alzheimers disease.
The pectin in apples lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol. People who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.
Recent studies show that ginger might also have a role in lowering LDL cholesterol because the spice can help reduce the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed.
Recent studies shown that limonoids in lemons help in reducing cholesterol.
French researchers found that a flavanoid called phloridzin that is found only in apples may protect post-menopausal women from osteoporosis and may also increase bone density. Boron, another ingredient in apples, also strengthens bones.
Ginger has been shown in animal trials to help slow or even prevent cancerous tumor growth.
Kale contains sulforaphane (especially when juiced), which is a chemical that has anti-cancer properties against many cancer types. The cancer-protective compounds in kale have thus been the subject of intense research, particularly their role in blocking the growth of cancer cells and inducing cancer cell death (apoptosis).
One of gingers most touted health benefits is its ameliorating effects on digestive ailments. It can help digest fatty foods and break down proteins. It is excellent for reducing gas. Many people report that it will also relieve nausea, and can be effective in treating morning sickness as well as motion sickness.
Lemon juice helps to cure problems related to indigestion and consitpation.
Apples contain a natural laxative. When juiced, it helps aid bowel movements. It is most effective when mixed with carrots and spinach juices, you can expect bowel movement the next day. Regularly eating apples also will ensure bowel movements due to its gel-forming fiber, pectin. It improves the intestinal muscles ability to push waste through the gastrointestinal tract.
Being a warming herb, ginger can help knock out a fever. This property also makes it effective in stimulating circulation of the blood. It can also help relax muscles around the blood vessels and is said to help prevent blood clots from forming. The warming effects make it a natural decongestant as well as an antihistamine, making it the perfect remedy for colds.
According to a study of 10,000 people, those who ate the most apples had a 50 percent lower risk of developing lung cancer. Researchers believe this is due to the high levels of the flavonoids quercetin and naringin in apples.
The silica in cucumber is an essential component of healthy connective tissue, which includes intracellular cement, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone. Cucumber juice is often recommended as a source of silicon to improve the complexion and health of the skin, plus cucumber’s high water content makes it naturally hydrating–a must for glowing skin.
Lemon juice, being a natural antiseptic medicine, can participate to cure problems related to skin. Drinking of lemon juice mixed with water and honey brings glow to the skin.
Kale studies reveal that sulforaphane helps support a healthy immune system, which is a key component in staving off cancer. Sulforaphane has been found to significantly enhance the production of several chemicals that are involved in the immune response, such as interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma.
In Kale research, the benefits of lutein also extend to prevention of atherosclerosis. An 18-month study from the University of Southern California found that in a group of 480 men and women aged 40 to 60 with no history of heart disease, those with the lowest serum lutein concentration had a five-fold greater increase in carotid artery thickness, a risk factor for heart disease, compared with those who had the highest serum lutein concentrations. This study also included an in-vitro portion, which compared tissue cultures of cells exposed to various combinations of lutein and detrimental, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is known to promote atherosclerosis. The researchers found that pretreatment of cells with lutein dose-dependently protected the cells against inflammation associated with LDL plaque formation, again confirming lutein’s protective effect against atherosclerosis.
Ginger can also help reduce inflammation. So it can be used to treat any disease that is caused by inflammations such as arthritis or ulcerative colitis. Some studies show that it can even help inhibit the replication of the herpes simplex virus.

Why Choose LASIK Surgery Over Contact Lenses and Glasses
There are many reasons why one should consider opting for LASIK eye surgery vs. continuing to use contact lenses and eye glasse. The most common reasons are health related; the possible chances of injury or infection due to contact lenses and glasses. Sleeping with lenses or glasses may cause injuries to the cornea, and the neglect of keeping the contact lenses clean can cause infections in your eyes.
One of the best solutions to get rid of these common complications is LASIK Surgery. It is permanent and the easiest way to an improved vision. atients wearing contact lenses and glasses cant enjoy the fun of swimming, scuba diving, sports, and showering, but LASIK surgery can help improve a persons lifestyle so they can enjoy all the sports and adventures theyve been avoiding and struggling with.
The following list discusses the most common pros for choosing LASIK eye surgery as an option for improved vision.
The Fastest Process: Most laser eye surgeries take between 10 and 20 minutes, and most patients are able to see 20/20 within hours of the procedure.
A Painless Process: LASIK surgery is painless. Patients are normally given a pill to relax their muscles. The surgeon will also numb the eyes with anesthetic eye drops before the procedure.
Results Oriented Process: Most patients are able to achieve the targeted results from one procedure. In fact, an experienced surgeon can get you 20/20 vision in an effective manner. All patients can proceed to their daily life almost the next day, and can enjoy fun activities that mightve been a hassle before their LASIK surgery.
Safe Process: LASIK is still a surgery and all surgeries can have complications, but if performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon and advanced technology, LASIK is considered very safe and reliable.
Affordable Process: The standard price for LASIK in the United States ranges between $1000 and $3000 per eye. And the price depends on the prescription, the surgeons experience, and the technology being used. Also, most laser eye centers provide in-house or third party financing to make the procedure affordable, in addition to insurance benefits and discounts.
Although most patients do experience great benefits post LASIK surgery, it is important to remember that results and experiences may vary from one person to another, from one surgeon to another and from one technology to another. So it is very important that patients do their research before deciding to undergo LASIK Surgery, and weigh their pros and cons

Heres 7 Reasons Why Must Choose Organic Foods
7 Reasons, Why Must Choose Organic Foods | Eating organic foods has long been popular. However, some people may not know why organic food is better. Organic food is produced without using synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, genetic engineering, antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives, or dyes.
The benefits of organic food not only for health but also reduce pollution pestisidan and other chemicals on earth, "said Barbara Haumann, a spokeswoman for Organic Trade Association.
I wonder what are the reasons why you should choose organic foods?
1. Fruits and vegetables rich in organic nutrients. "Evidence suggests that organic food contains higher iron, magnesium, and vitamin C, and lower nitrate content. Nitrates are found in synthetic fertilizers, "Haumann said.
A number of studies at the University of California have also shown that, fruits and organic vegetables may have a certain higher level of antioxidants. Researchers have reported that organic tomatoes contained on average 79-97 percent of flavonoid phytochemicals that may help prevent heart disease.
2. Organic farming reduces exposure to harmful pesticides. Numerous studies have shown that exposure to some synthetic fertilizers are used on some plants can be harmful to human health. A study published in the journal BMC Neurology found that people exposed to pesticides 1.6 times more likely to develop Parkinsons disease compared with those without.
According to a new study, exposure to pesticides has been associated with ADHD and can interfere with female hormones. Because organic agriculture does not use pesticides, buy organic support system that reduces the overall exposure to pesticides.
3. Meat and milk from animals fed organic foods contain more healthy fats. According to studies conducted in the UK, organic farms tend to produce milk and meat with higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The content can prevent some types of cancer, helps control weight and lower cholesterol.
If the grass is eaten by animals have plenty of essential fatty acids, so the meat will also have a lot more essential fatty acids, "said Caplan.
4. Organic farming protects the environment. In addition to harm humans, the chemicals used in synthetic fertilizers can have negative consequences for the environment. In contrast, organic practices have been shown to protect soil and water and reduce its carbon footprint.
5. Organic products are processed without hormones or antibiotics. Organic livestock can not be treated with growth hormones or antibiotics subterapi, commonly prescribed to prevent than to cure sick animals sick animals. The use of antibiotics in food has been associated with a proliferation of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found evidence that antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in meat and poultry can also be found in the gut of the consumer. Another study from Johns Hopkins showed that the bacteria in the air from concentrated animal feeding (CAFO) may be transferred from animals to humans.
6. Organic products contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). A GMO is an organism that was injected with genetic material from other species to create its own version that does not occur in nature and can not be produced with a distinctive mode of crossing. In the case of crops, GMOs are most often made to establish pest-resistant crops and strong chemicals.
Potential negative effects, largely unknown, but several studies have shown that GMOs can harm health. Several studies with laboratory animals have linked genetically modified foods with a variety of health problems, including allergic reactions and disturbances in the liver, kidney, and heart.
7. Organic farming supports animal welfare. On a commercial farm animals are often forced to live in very small cages restrict movement. The animals are also given growth hormones that can have serious consequences. Chickens are given growth hormones have been known to develop a physical disability or loss of ability to walk.
