Regulatory Issues - Canada: "Canada eases foreign ownership restrictions for uranium mines Canada has agreed to waive for European companies a longstanding requirement that buyers take on a Canadian partner in uranium mines, a move that may spur greater investment in developing the country's rich uranium reserves.

The move, part of the Canada-European Union free trade agreement announced on Friday (Oct. 18), comes after intense lobbying from France-based AREVA SA and Anglo-Australian Rio Tinto Plc for Canada to scrap the Cold War era policy.

Canada, the world's second biggest producer of uranium behind Kazakhstan, currently restricts foreign companies from owning more than 49 percent of any uranium mine.

There are no ownership restrictions on foreign participation in exploration. Lifting the requirement for European companies would appear to benefit Areva, in which the French government owns a controlling stake. Areva owns the Kiggavik project in the northern Canadian territory of Nunavut. (Reuters Oct. 18, 2013)"

This article is tough to decipher, but it refers to "Cold War" years policies. Mining Uranium and other heavy metals are opening up markets around the  world, while previously "foreign ownership" was not allowed in, for instance, Canadian uranium mining companies.

We did not know that Canada is second largest in producing uranium.

Originally nuclear power plants were built to manufacture clean energy, that is, a power plant that doesn't let loose CO2 into our atmosphere. That was over sixty years ago. On November 23, 2009, MooPig Uranium Department reported on conditions leading to saturation of CO2 in our air by the end of this century:

'The U.N. expert group projects that such a path would raise global temperatures between 4.3 and 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit by century's end." (AP, Nov 23, 2009. LINK)

CONCLUSION
No matter how much reporting, or how many UN statements are made, the race to fill earth's atmosphere with CO2 goes on full tilt.

Nuclear energy was touted to be the clean energy source and mining of Uranium continues, all-be-it an industry that got its chops started in the Cold War Era. Foreign ownership of Canadian uranium mines sets a new precedent.

As a race of beings, humans on earth continue to live off of the geological distant past that produced a large non-renewable source of fossil fuels found in the ground in North America and around the world.

B17 in 1943: one for the record books… - progressivecentralists.org: "Although the tail actually bounced and swayed in the wind and twisted when the plane turned and all the control cables were severed, except one single elevator cable still worked, and the aircraft still flew – miraculously! The tail gunner was trapped because there was no floor connecting the tail to the rest of the plane. The waist and tail gunners used parts of the German fighter and their own parachute harnesses in an attempt to keep the tail from ripping off and the two sides of the fuselage from splitting apart. While the crew was trying to keep the bomber from coming apart, the pilot continued on his bomb run and released his bombs over the target."

" ... When the ambulance pulled alongside, it was waved off because not a single member of the crew had been injured. No one could believe that the aircraft could still fly in such a condition. The Fortress sat placidly until the crew all exited through the door in the fuselage and the tail gunner had climbed down a ladder, at which time the entire rear section of the aircraft collapsed onto the ground. The rugged old bird had done its job. (LINK) ... "

MooPig Government Shutdown Department :: Republicans Owe Us 24 Billion Dollars Plus for the Government Shutdown

DEFCON 2 -- You want Ted Cruz in charge of the Red Phone?
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell | OCT 18, 2013 | Bryan TX

They spend money like a Houston socialite in Filene's Basement. They are the real "THEY." When you say THEY it is these people and their entourages. They see a pile of dough and they get all sweaty.

Republicans Owe Us 24 Billion Dollars Plus for the Government Shutdown: "As some points, the media is going to have to start calling Republicans out on their end goal. Let’s see. They get nothing… So what is the goal?

The result is the economy is harmed and America’s credit is dinged and we are a laughing stock. If those are the results and the GOP keeps doing it, at some point, we have to admit that those results ARE THE GOAL. That means that destroying America’s reputation, credit and economy are the goals of these Republicans, and the non-Tea Party Republicans haven’t the back to stand up to them, so the entire party is operating in service of the destruction of the country.

Last night, Nancy Pelosi saved the country again, bringing her entire caucus to vote yes to save the country from the GOP, while the GOP majority in the House sat on their hands, with 144 of them voting no on saving the country from default."

Draw your own conclusions. Too bad these Hucksters can't be fired. It takes an election cycle and millions more of dollars for campaigns to get rid of them.

How many people have signed up for health insurance in VA? Who knows? « Watchdog.org

"Many families who are uninsured are middle-class."
Tangled arguments by Pat Darnell | Oct 19, 2013 | BryanTX

[Picture LINK]

The ACA -- aka OBAMACARE -- is a 900 page document. Do you think anyone has read it? How many pages are in the Bible... around 1900 pages? So, if you are uninsured for medical expenses, you should read the ACA, eh? If you are a sinner maybe you should read the Bible.

If one reads 100 pages a day, about 100 minutes or so, that is 9 days to read the ACA document. Chances are that one will not fully understand the document on his or her first read through.

How many people have signed up for health insurance in VA? Who knows? « Watchdog.org: "Numbers on Obamacare enrollment have been scarce — partly because of the slew of technical problems with healthcare.gov. Robert Gibbs, former press secretary to President Obama, said in a recent interview with MSNBC the first two weeks of open enrollment were “bungled badly” and “excruciatingly embarrassing for the White House and for the Department of Health and Human Services.” Industry analyst Bob Laszewski surveyed health plans last week, reporting that no more than 5,000 individuals and families have signed up for health insurance through healthcare.gov."

'via Blog this'

From an article in 2001 we see the building argument for government regulation of healthcare and phasing out of Free Ridership:

" ... Although it is common to think of the uninsured as having low-incomes, many families who lack insurance are solidly middle class ... . And the largest increase in the number of uninsured in recent years has occurred among higher-income families:

• About one in seven uninsured persons lives in a family with an income between $50,000 and $75,000, and almost one in six earns more than $75,000.
• Further, between 1993 and 1999, the number of uninsured increased by 53 percent in households earning between $50,000 to $75,000 and by 85 percent among households earning $75,000 or more.
• By contrast, in households earning less than $50,000 the number of uninsured decreased approximately 5 percent.

More information about middle-class families who are voluntarily uninsured emerged from a recent California survey of the uninsured with incomes of more than 200 percent of poverty:2

• Forty percent owned their own homes and more than half owned a personal computer.
• Twenty percent worked for an employer that offered health benefits, but half of them (10 percent of the total) declined coverage for which they were eligible.
• However, this group was not opposed to insurance in general, as 90 percent had purchased auto, home or life insurance in the past.
• About 43 percent felt that health insurance was not a good value for the money, and rising insurance premiums will only increase this number. (Monday, April 30, 2001

SUMMARY
Before ACA/ObamaCare I couldn't afford medical expenses. I spent many years in my youth without medical coverage. With kids of my own now, I pay a stiff monthly premium to Blue Cross/ Blue Shield for coverage that has a hefty copay setup. I am being nickel'd and dime'd to death.

Now, after ACA/ObamaCare I still cannot afford hefty medical expenses. Some of my "old age" pills I need would take all my income every month. So without the wonky healthcare insurance, I have through work, we exist above poverty level, and can visit a family doctor, when we find a competent one.

CONCLUSION
Health Care in the USA is dodgy.

MooPig Government Shutdown :: "Aftermath"

Some of our Favorite MEME's from the previous two Weeks
Gathered by Pat Darnell \ Oct 18, 2013 | Bryan TX

Brenda Drew says: " ... I've known other men to have pissy fits, but this spoiled rotten selfish greedy, racist, misogynist, homophobic, backwards thinking, evil, corrupt Fascist Domestic Terrorist band of TRAITORS TAKES THE CAKE! ***Note: I did NOT use the word, "Republican", that's a huge misnomer and they DO NOT deserve to be called, "Republicans"...they're FASCIST TRAITORS to our once upon a time great Democracy/Republic and they bastardize the Boston Tea Party and they are antithetical to our very basic liberal Democratic ideals and principles!!! (LINK) ... "

RESULT

This broad ax hucksterism by the Tea Party minority in the House of Congress turns out to be a lot of barking at the moon. And, this tirade cost the American GDP around $24 million. The douche bags in government, all of them, are never held "accountable" for their actions. This leads to grand-standing, lots and lots of litigation, and war.
