Discs and DirecTV are in demand again with US gov regulating Internet

Netflix takes up 1/3 of the total US Internet access.  Now American will support Hollywood and foreign industries by buying DVDs, Blurays, and Bluray 4k along with paying for DirecTV and Dish Network like in the early 1990s-2000s.

Yeah, actually go out and put a satellite dish on top of your house for 'cable tv' instead of relying on your cable provider for Netflix!

The President’s Health Care Law I remain committed to controlling Washington’s reckless spending spree by rolling back the President’s fiscally irresponsible health care law. Businesses, policy experts, and government actuaries have continually confirmed what the country already knew: this law spends trillions of dollars that we don’t have, raises taxes on workers, businesses and families, and puts the federal government squarely in the middle of health-care decisions. Budgetary smoke and mirrors were used to claim this plan would reduce the deficit. The law relies on 10 years of tax increases and 10 years of Medicare cuts to pay for six years of new spending. The bill raids more than $700 billion from Medicare to fuel a new $1.9 trillion open ended entitlement and ignores the $138 billion needed to avert cuts to Medicare physicians. Even the implementation costs are hidden behind budgetary gimmicks and Washington-style accounting rules. In addition to its impact on the deficit, the health care law is damaging to job creation and economic growth. Its dizzying maze of mandates and thousands of new regulations threaten to cripple businesses both large and small. The bill also hurts workers by encouraging employers to drop coverage and dump employees into a government-controlled exchange rather than pay the increased rates associated with new mandates in the bill. With the Supreme Court ruling, 21 tax increases remain in the law, a dozen of which target Americans earning less than $200,000 per year for singles and $250,000 per year for married couples. With the national unemployment rate hovering around 8%, keeping a job-destroying, spend-and-tax policy on the books would be irresponsible and would further diminish the prospects of a robust economic recovery. I raised these concerns with the President at the 2009 Blair House Summit and again when Congress took up the bill. Since then, the Administration’s own Chief Actuary, along with a host of other independent studies, have raised many of the same concerns. But as the House stands ready to undo this damage, some are crying foul claiming that repeal will in fact raise the deficit. Only in Washington can repealing a massive new government-spending program be seen as adding to our fiscal problems. To be clear, the same budgetary gimmicks that were used to enact the health care law last year are still there. Nothing has changed. All of this belies the point that our nation’s health care system is fundamentally broken. We spend more per capita on health care than any other developed nation, yet our health outcomes are worse. Republicans and Democrats both agree that the status quo in health care is unacceptable. Congress must work diligently to improve the quality of care, lower costs, and slow the spiraling growth of programs already on the books. These are not new ideas, and I have been advocating for comprehensive patient-centered health care reform since before the health care debate began in earnest. We cannot afford to tinker around the edges of this fundamentally flawed law. Full repeal is a critical step towards true health care reform. Supreme Court Decision On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court affirmed that the federal mandate to purchase government-approved health insurance imposes a tax on the American people. Despite the disappointing decision on the law’s constitutionality, there is no question that the law remains terrible policy. I remain committed to advancing reforms that realign incentives so that individuals and their doctors – not government bureaucrats or insurance company bureaucrats – are the nucleus of our health care system. This requires reforms to equalize the tax treatment of health insurance, invite true choice and competition, and ensure critical programs like Medicare and Medicaid can deliver on their promise in the 21st century. The Fiscal Year 2013 Budget, The Path to Prosperity Our government has a spending problem—a problem so large that it is driving up our debt, hurting our nation’s ability to create jobs, and threatening our future. In the past, Washington has not been truthful about the magnitude of these problems facing our country, but we can no longer afford to put off an honest, fact-based conversation on how to solve them. Unless we act soon, government spending on health and retirement programs will crowd out spending on all other government programs, including national security, and, eventually, will consume every cent of every federal tax dollar. No one person or party is responsible for the looming crisis. Yet the facts are clear: major spending increases have failed to deliver promised jobs. The safety net for the poor is coming apart at the seams. Government health and retirement programs are growing at unsustainable rates. The new health care law has created a tremendous fiscal burden, and a complex, inefficient tax code is holding back American families and businesses. The House-passed budget repeals the President’s disastrous new health care law and protects the health and retirement security of those who need it. With the creation of Medicare in 1965, the United States made a commitment to help fund the medical care of elderly Americans to ensure that a serious illness would not exhaust their life savings or the assets and incomes of their working children and younger relatives. Medicare’s structural imbalance threatens beneficiaries’ access to quality, affordable care. Flaws in the structure of the program are driving up health care costs, which are, in turn, threatening to bankrupt the system – and ultimately the nation. Unless Congress fixes what’s broken in Medicare, without breaking what’s working, the program will end up causing exactly what it was created to avoid – millions of American seniors without adequate health security and a younger working generation saddled with enormous debts to pay for spending levels that cannot be sustained. It is morally unconscionable for elected leaders to cling to an unsustainable status quo with respect to America’s health and retirement security programs. Current seniors and future generations deserve better than empty promises and a diminished country. Current retirees deserve the benefits around which they organized their lives. Future generations deserve health and retirement security they can count on. By making gradual structural improvements, Congress can preserve America’s social contract with retired workers. Recognizing the problems facing Medicare, the House Budget Proposal: Strengthens health and retirement security by taking power away from government bureaucrats and empowering patients with control over their care. Repeals the new health care law’s unaccountable board of bureaucrats empowered to cut Medicare in ways that would jeopardize seniors’ access to care. Saves Medicare for current and future generations, with no disruptions for those in and near retirement. For younger workers, when they become eligible, Medicare will provide a premium-support payment and a list of guaranteed coverage options – including a traditional fee-for-service option – from which recipients can choose a plan that best suits their needs. Program growth would be determined by a competitive-bidding process – with choice and competition forcing providers to reduce costs and improve quality for seniors. Premium support, competitive bidding, and more assistance for those with lower incomes or greater health care needs will ensure guaranteed affordability for all seniors. Allowing the federal government to break its promises to current seniors and to future generations is unacceptable. The reforms outlined in the budget passed by the House protect and preserve Medicare for those in and near retirement, while saving and strengthening this critical program so that future generations can count on it to be there when they retire. Reforming Medicaid in the Path to Prosperity The Congressional Budget Office estimates that federal spending on Medicaid, a program which provides medical care for the poor, will grow from $265 billion in 2013 to $536 billion by 2022. Should this problem continue to be ignored, Medicaid will continue to overwhelm state and federal budgets and fail the vulnerable people who need it most. Specifically, the Path to Prosperity: Secures the Medicaid benefit by converting the federal share of Medicaid spending into a block grant tailored to meet each state’s needs, indexed for inflation and population growth. This reform ends the misguided one-size-fits-all approach that has tied the hands of so many state governments. States will no longer be shackled by federally determined program requirements and enrollment criteria. Instead, they will have the freedom and flexibility to tailor a Medicaid program that fits the needs of their unique populations. Improves the health-care safety net for low-income Americans by giving states the ability to offer their Medicaid populations more options and better access to care. Medicaid recipients, like all Americans, deserve to choose their own doctors and make their own health care decisions, instead of having Washington dictate those decisions for them. Saves $810 billion over ten years, contributing to the long-term stabilization of the federal government’s fiscal path and encouraging fiscal responsibility at the state level. All Americans will pay more because of this broken Medicaid system – and not just in higher taxes. Because Medicaid’s reimbursement rates have been ratcheted down to below-market levels, the care that Medicaid patients receive is often substandard. Offering states more flexibility for their Medicaid beneficiaries will remove the stigma Medicaid recipients face, and allow them to take advantage of a range of options available. Several of the nation’s governors have made innovative proposals to fix Medicaid. This budget encourages further efforts in this direction.

Why Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was so popular?

MMPR was the most iconic and most famous because it was the first season. Kids loved it, a lot of parents hated it and the toy industry made a mint off it. When most non fans think of PR, they think of MMPR (unless maybe they have young children currently watching a new season of PR). But why is it so popular?

When you ask a non-fan about Power Rangers, it would be something about Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and every Power Rangers parody is based on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

 

When Disney did a poll for the five most popular Rangers, the only non-MMPR to make the list was Andros. Not a single Disney Ranger charted. In this case, first production company wins. That's easy to explain. The original Power Rangers used the same characters and actors from year to year. This made them a lot more recognizable than when the cast changes from year to year as in the later seasons. Usually, it would either be:

1. MMPR is the best (First show).
2. MMPR-PRIS is the best (First era).
3. MMPR-PRWF is the best (First production crew).

Either way, it's a case of First wins.

(Someone's probably gonna shoot me because I used an image from the remastered MMPR.)

The first incarnation of anything that's wildly popular is usually the most memorable and ingrained into the public psyche, since it's what made it wildly popular in the first place. Then it lasts for two or three years and/or two or three incarnations that are of comparable success, then from then on it's diminishing returns, unless the franchise sticks around long enough to make a comeback (and even then it still remains in the shadow of the original). It's a pattern that works with almost any pop culture phenomenon you can think of, unless the second incarnation/second season is regarded as an abject failure.

The "big push" only exists with MMPR because it was the first of it's kind. Nobody had seen something of it's kind before. Once that became passe, it stopped being a big investment.

The franchise had sizably peaked by 1995 and was killed by "they changed it, now it sucks" with the cast and name changes, there's always backlash with an aging series that goes on without a break....there's more backlash to be had when that series jettisons it's entire cast of veterans.

From a marketing standpoint to the entire world, you couldn't go without knowing what MMPR was. It was a cultural revolution for our generation. EVERY child had watched the show, played with the toys, or pretended to morph at some point. Power Rangers hit the world just as hard as the Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, and Hannah Montana. It was the hottest ticket in existence. Once that fever subsided, there were a ton of kids who never knew anything about a "Zeo", let alone their parents. Furthermore, the majority of human beings have no idea Power Rangers still exists. There have been cast members who got calls from their agents to audition and replied "That show's still on?"

As far as people like us, however, people who never stopped loving or returned to loving Power Rangers hold MMPR in great nostalgic value, while not necessarily liking that iteration the best. I bet if there were a poll conducted over the most popular season amongst veteran fans, Zeo would probably take the title, with Space a possible contender. Even Time Force or Dino Thunder may slip in there.

Looking back, I can see why MMPR was what drew a lot of us in. The plot was simple: Bad guys are threatening Earth, and the Power Rangers have to stop them. Rita had no reason to be attacking the Earth besides conquering it. She wasn't looking for supplies for some huge diety. She wasn't serving anyone (initially - later seasons would build the evil side to the UAE of Space) and her whole army was either already released by those astronauts in the first 5 minutes of the first episode, or they were made from clay. All she wanted to do was defeat the Power Rangers, and that was IT. It's brilliance in its simplicity. Also, the blood-pumping theme song that says 'We're the Power Rangers! Shut up evil! BIZAM!' and, excuse my language here, the kick ass music of the Mighty Raw is about half the reason the original series is so great! It didn't act like a high drama like Lightspeed or Time Force, that's probably why fans are turned off by this. Like, if people wanted to watch a high drama, they shouldn't be watching Power Rangers. Because Power Rangers is a kids show, always have, always will. Granted, those seasons are amazing, but that's what people prefer.

I got the complete DVD collection of the Mighty Morphin two weeks ago.  I love the second season the most. 

I also bought seasons 4 - 7 boxset, because I watched Zeo.(Power Rangers ZEO, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers In Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy)

MLB in decline

Detroit Tigers selling free tickets to 13 and under. 

I am sour on baseball. It’s not the game itself that has me bothered but rather the way it is being played on the Major League (MLB) level. It is now World Series time and I am not even that excited. It’s not because my team is not in it but rather my heart is not in it. This MLB lifer is not in the game.
There are a number of contributing factors to this but I will isolate this down to three manifestations of one big problem. The problem is pride. Maybe I should say “greed” instead so that people don’t think in sports terms that have baptized “pride” as virtue. I am bugged by the greed.
1) The Steroids: I was glued to the TV when McGuire and Sosa were battling for the Home Run titles at the end of the 90′s. Then we found out that steroid usage was rampant in the game. It wasn’t just a few guys, no, there was a widespread epidemic afoot. It seemed like many guys were cheating. Suddenly the reality gap between video games and real games got smaller. It wasn’t just because graphics got better; no, MLB became more fake. This became a significant rock in my baseball watching shoe.
2) The Free-Agency: As a Red Sox fan I have personally benefitted from a team that opens up its purses to pay people a lot of money to play for them (and by consequence not for other teams). However, somewhere in the midst of the massive open-market that is Major League Baseball we have begun to root not for people but for the uniforms. My rooting interest in a team becomes strangely disassociated from the players wearing the uniforms. Rich teams pilfer poor teams and superstars leave cities to go and play for other markets. Nobody gets too attached to anybody or any team. It looks and feels a lot different than the game I loved to watch at Fenway Park growing up.
3) The Lack of Hustle: This really is my big issue. I watch these guys play and it is obvious that many of them are not giving 100%. If you flip on a game in May you will see people that look like they have the intensity of a company softball game. Guys not running out ground balls, making careless plays, and failing to think strategically. As a case in point if you turn on the World Series you will see a different game than you see in June. There is so much more intensity. Last night we saw Cardinal pitcher Chris Carpenter give up his body and dive into first base to get the out. Sadly, this type of hustle and sacrifice is not the norm throughout the year. The post-season guys are playing the game like it matters.
Well, there is something else that matters for me, time and money. I don’t have a lot of either. If I am going to plunk down the time and money to go to a game or sit and watch it then I expect the players to hustle. When I don’t I look elsewhere. And if you haven’t noticed, football players hustle. If they don’t they will lose their jobs. It is no accident that the NFL is expanding it’s dominance over the MLB.
I think all of us have grown to expect and even tolerate greed in this world (the analysis of this is worth the brain power). However, when it comes to MLB it has become clear that I can’t take it. It’s over the top. That’s why I’m calling the bullpen for something better to do with my time.

Dual Shock 4 first impressions

I love this controller. I love Dual Shock. I would love Dual Shock 3 for PS4, but this touch screen is a bonus.

I have seen Killzone: Shadow Fall and Destiny screenshots.  They look superb. I'd pay $500 for PS4 and Dual Shock 4 tomorrow.   Playstation 4 is TWO YEARS LATE!   I had my Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition (DirectX 11 GPU)  for over Three years.   CONSOLES ARE SUPPOSD TO HAVE 5 YEAR LIFESPANS, NOT OVER SEVEN YEAR LIFESPANS!  
I hear on other [stupid] websites, how the games don't look good enough.   PS4 is over two years late, and the graphics are clearly better than a hypothetical PS4 released in 2010.  The reality is PS4 is late to market and nobody has the same amount of income as they did in 2010. It seems the longer Sony drags out PS4, the less games people buy.   The President Bush tax cuts have ended in 2012.  Nintendo was brilliant in seeing Bush tax cuts ending and releainsg Wii U before 2013.
