Pre-. . .

. . . on-line dating . . .

To my dearest love
Or current resident
Sending you these lines
To show you how much I care
How can I convey
To you this sentiment
Only you're for me my dearest
Please insert your name on the
Dotted Line

There's no obligation
There's no purchase required
There are over five thousand
Who are qualified
And eligible to win the grand prize
Rules and regulations
Must be read carefully
Entries must be postmarked by the 30th
At quarter to three

Once I made a solemn
Vow to someone I knew
And I thought her vow was also solemn too
But I thought with my heart
And didn't see it through
Not that any lesson
Of great value has been learned
Such experience should teach us something good
Or maybe I enjoy getting burned

It's not a weakness to be
Predisposed toward sharing
I might survive all alone
But I'm just no that daring
Desperate men will take desperate measure
To get what they think that they need

Convenience . . .

Received an email that says:

"Don't run out: Refill or renew these prescriptions.

Prescription     Status

 

Rx#:  XXXX6612    Ready for refill

Refill now

Log in now to refill or renew your prescriptions. If your prescription needs to be renewed, we can contact your healthcare professional to authorize the renewal. . ."

So I go to the website to take advantage of this wonderful convenience. I see the recent order status and recent prescriptions.  The name of the family member to whose whose medical plan I have been added is listed with a prescription history.  But I don't see mine. Then at the bottom I see, "Looking for a family member?" under which my name does appear. Next to my name it says, "RAYMOND must register with this website individually and grant you access to prescription information via "My Account."" 'Wonderful,' I say to myself.  I click on 'My Account.' The drop-down menu shows,

    Manage Personal Information
    Change User Name and Email
    Update Address
    Edit Payment Information
    Select Communication Preferences
    Designate a Caregiver
    Read My Messages

My Account

Manage your personal and account information.

I finally find "Create an online account."  I fill out ALL the blanks and push 'enter.'  I receive a message that says:
"User name is already in use

Our records indicate this user name is already registered with our site. Please enter another user name below.

Reference number 4999e"

CONVENIENT???                 NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two. . .

. . . things I hate. . .
. . . about a politician and that is HIS FACE!!

(By binaryloop,  at http://libertycrier.com/forum/congress-quietly-repeals-insider-trading-ban/)
While Congress might be stuck in a deadlock on just about every issue imaginable, there’s one piece of legislation that both Democrats and Republicans hate unanimously: the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, a law passed last year designed to prevent insider trading among lawmakers and government officials by requiring them to post disclosures of their financial transactions online.

Both parties and both houses of Congress hated the disclosure portion of the law so much that it was repealed last Friday (4/12/13) without debate—the measure was sent to the President by unanimous consent. The ordeal took about 10 seconds in the Senate and 14 seconds in the House, according to official records.

The STOCK Act would have required members of Congress, their aides, and other federal employees making more than $119,554 a year to disclose their financial dealings in an online database. It was supposed to prevent government officials from using insider knowledge about policy-making to profit from stock trades and other investments.

Upon the signing of the bill into law last year (pictured above), President Barack Obama said, “The idea that everybody plays by the same rules is one of our most cherished American values. It’s the notion that the powerful shouldn’t get to create one set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for everybody else, and if we expect that to apply to our biggest corporations and to our most successful citizens, it certainly should apply to our elected officials—especially at a time when there is a deficit of trust between this city and the rest of the country.” The White House has not said whether the President will sign the repeal.

Despite the repeal, government officials will still have to file disclosures of securities trades over $1,000 within 45 days, but they no longer have to file them in a searchable database that was to be easily accessible to the public.

Congress and the President had delayed the online posting portion of the act from going into effect 3 times already, but the ultimate repeal came after the National Academy of Public Administration, a nonprofit group, found that publishing the information would create an “unwarranted risk to national security and law enforcement, as well as threaten agency missions, individual safety and privacy,” in a report delivered last month. The group suggested that the online posting requirements should be suspended indefinitely.

Lisa Rosenberg of the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit group advocating for government transparency, said that the repeal “sets an extraordinarily dangerous precedent suggesting that any risks stem not from information being public but from public information being online.“
