When will my package arrive with UPS Mail Innovations? It's taking SO long!? Last Monday (June 12th), I ordered a computer game from Walmart.com because I couldn't find it in the store and it was cheaper online than at rival stores. I qualified for the free shipping, so of course I took the offer, thinking that since I ordered it on Monday, it should at least arrive by Friday or Saturday. I was wrong in my assumption because they shipped my package using UPS Mail Innovations.

What wonderful innovations could Americans have came up with had it not been for government monopolies? Take for example roads. The government has a highly vested interest in them some may even say monopoly. If this were not the case roads would have came and gone a long time ago. If they were private, and were poorly maintained or they overcharged they would have went the way of the dinosaur. But no, government owns and operates most all of them so we are stuck with little or no innovation in travel and an addiction to oil!

Cucamonga, CA May 19 2007 Transferred to UPS Mail Innovations Destination RPF Austin, TX May 20 2007 Received at UPS Mail Innovations Destination RPF Austin, TX May 21 2007 Manifested (Postage Paid) well its May 23, I still haven't received the item yet. USPS already stopped by today. I'm located in Dallas, TX. So if the package was Manifested on 21 then it should've already arrived here in 2 days, correct? Should I be worried? I understand their system, thing that I don't understand it the how do they update their tracking system. Dates to not match. Manifest happend on May 22, but they still list it as May 21.. why? And it says it finally sent out to USPS(its in Dallas post office) which came up on May 23 night on tracking system but they still put May 21 next to it. Well I still haven't receive the mail yet. I think this is one of the worst service. Why doesn't company just ship it via USPS in first place...

What high-tech innovations do you think major auto makers should consider adding to their newer models? They know they need to find different ways to stimulate car sales and get the manufacturing sector on a better pace. And of course they still need to be safe, well-made, fuel-efficient, and even run on alternative fuel sources. But do you think now's the time, considering we are in the 21st century, after all, that they become much more liberal-minded regarding all of the newest innovations that are available? Something like a Star Trek "shields are up" device during a hail storm. What "space-age" item would you like to see included on an automobile?

Tips for singing warm ups being able to express my music/ ideas to rest of people I am playing music with ect.? Hey I just wanted to know, since I'm about to get a bunch of Brett Manning CD's offline, I just figured it would be a good idea to ask yahoo's musicians for some advice on vocals/ singing/ writing music and more. ok here we go. 1. I definitely want to work on my range, and do my best to perfect my chest voice and falsetto and make sure I have very good transitional quality in my voice, and I want to just live up to my full potential with my vocals since you only live once and I might as well be able to sing real good. Yes I know. Practice practice practice. But I just want to find a good approach to it and I want to make it into a daily routine, which is tough, but I'm committed as long as I know what I'm doing. 2. I really want to learn how to play piano, guitar, and actually for some reason I'm tempted to play the saxophone. Do you know where I could find online sources to great guitar/ piano/other musical instruments lessons and info so I can start getting into that. (I have a piano now and I like to mess around on it, but I know I need to start understanding everything better and practicing more) 3. I'm really interested in music so I'm hoping you guys could spark up some innovation and give me some wonderful insight to further help me with what I'm trying to do musically now. 4. Right now I'm in a band, which we actually just started up. I'm singing, and that's all I know how to do now. I want to be very flexible with it though because I'm not in it just to be all Jonas Brothers and stuff... haha. I'm in it for the music and because I want to be able to express the songs in my head, and the ideas that are always floating around. I write poetry all the time, and it seems like I never can change it into songs. I guess I'll have to figure that out another time. Anyway, Too many questions in one... hopefully some of you guys can help me out. Thanks a ton! I really appreciate your help! :D

Definition of a product as an innovation? How is a product and an innovation compared to each other? I would say that the product makes up a series of innovations. But that a product can also be called an innovation in itself. What is the true relationship defination between them?

does any one know about malfunctioning keys with the micro innovations wireless keyboard and mouse? within the last month, I purchased a brand-new Micro Innovations wireless keyboard and mouse. every button on the keyboard works except the 1-6 keys, I have to use the num-pad and I can't use the shift characters above the letters. I mailed the MI company about 2-3 weeks ago and have yet to get a reply. this started happening very soon after getting it and after it had messed up, the keyboard dropped and it worked for about 3 days. it hasn't stoped messing up since, I am considering dropping it again, maybe it would work, if not, it would atleast make me feel better :D lol. does any one know anything?

What is an example of a product innovation? can someone give me some examples of product innovation or someone have any ideas for a product innovation? we need to come up with a product innovation compare the features with competitors, soo plz help!

How do i track my package now? I was tracking my package on UPS.com and it was going fine for a couple days then it said "Your mail piece has been transferred from UPS Mail Innovations to the United States Postal Service." and now i have no idea what to do and i feel like it should be here by now.

no innovation in new cars. boycott them all until they do? idiots keep going to new car dealerships to buy new cars hence don't give any incentive for auto manufacturers to come up with innovation in technology but to make slight cosmetic changes every year. I'd say boycott all new cars to teach them a lesson. force them to come up with actual hovering vehicles(not with wings) such as in movie back to the future.

Give me the names and addresses of any English speaking facility/institution in Brazil and Spain on Technical? Courses in Automobile General maintenance, Electric/electronics, use of Star Diagnosis to up update on technical innovations, Please! If you dont mind.

How would your life be different if you were the size of an 7 year old? Let's say no humans grow any taller, heavier or stronger than a young child, but have conventional adult intelligence. How would your life be different? Would we kill most dogs due to our own insignificant size and fear of being preyed upon? Conventional construction for example, would be nearly impossible so perhaps more technical innovations would exist to make up for our physical weakness. Imagine professional sport? There'd be no sporting elite as we'd all be the same size and ability! How would you adjust or how would life be different? But J-Boy: how many parents have dogs 2-3 times their own weight? construction for example: physical strength would be a fraction of an adult male. Would we use lighter products and risk more more frequent storm damage, or use smarter ways of building equally strong houses?

How do I help cultivate true innovation in a company? How do I help cultivate true innovation in a company too afraid to take the next bold move for fear of tarnishing its past successes? Every new idea seem to be challenged with skeptism and quickly gets brushed aside or killed before they are allowed to mature. Innovation seem to be a "build-up" process while the company operates on an "elimination" mode.

when did this thumbs up thumbs down thing start? i just disappeared for a few days and now yahoo has come up with more innovations!

Why do people complain about pharmaceutical companies making a profit off of medications they come up with? If you come up with a new idea for a drug and can get it on the market and it works, why should you not be allowed to charge anything you want for it for as long as you want to? Why does there have to be a patent on it? If these companies have the money for innovation and research - to come up with these drugs in the first place, who is anyone to dictate what they can charge?

Is there a product only manufactured in japan and nowhere else in the world? I some ideas, but they are mostly products Japan has 100% market share in (not necessarily only produced in japan). I was hoping for something that could only be produced there. And what major innovations has Japan come up with (and I mean major and ground breaking, not just small ones)?

How to develop an effective employee work incentive program? I work at a small organization and we do NOT have a lot of money for staff awards, bonuses, etc. I have tried implementing incentive awards for low sick leave and innovation before which have blown up in my face as people considered them unfair-not everyone could attain them due to sick children at home, budget constraints, etc. We do get small service recognition awards, and a christmas party etc. I want to implement a monthly recognition award for staff based on something good that has happened (like designing a new exhibit) but am not sure how to develop the guidelines for a program that will work and be fair to everyone, and also easy to quantify. We will give our own awards, so I do NOT want a company to offer me their awards programs with watches and pins and junk like that. We have tried a system where the employees nominate a staff member for an award each month and that has also not worked. If anyone has had success in a similar situation I would love to hear from you.

I am a yahoo loyalist, please improve it to stop gmail from eating away into ur account.? When we can see yahoo standing up to gmail, as far as innovations are concerned? They seem to be far ahead. Pl do something, as even i find gmail to be much better and easier to handle; they have come up with with lot of innovations -- simple yet attractive.. Please take it seriously.

Is there a portrait studio that will take the photos of baby & then have photos ready same day? Toledo Ohio ar? Is there a portrait studio which will take the photos of my baby and then give me the photos the same day? I am looking in the Toledo, Ohio or Perrysburg Ohio area or possibly Sandusky Ohio area. Thank you for any help. I have tryed Portrait Innovations in Perrysburg, but they are booked up for the day. Guess I should have planned early lol.

Why can't Canada , Australia and the UK catch up with the US in the dominance of internet start ups I asked the above question some couple of weeks ago on a global scale to get the views of why US companies are in complete dominance of all internet related busineses worthy of mention. The question was to match the US against every other country on the planet. I recieved many reasons while this is the case . a summary of the reasons were , innovation,freemarket, US invented the internet, US controls ICAAN, US have internet backbone,greed , money,financial market, english skill etc. I guess this might be true when you compare the US to Nigeria, Vietnam , Congo, Bolivia. The diffrence in democracy , technolgy, culture and education makes all the point . but what i can't figure out is why Canada, UK and Australia can't make it despict having similar scenario like the US What is the missing link, why aren't there google,yahoo msn in this countries? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070330184713AACLvS

How many drug innovations come out of France? *The below stuff is more specific, but you can probably just answer the title question directly and be helpful :) (I know it's a lot to read.) I was arguing with a friend about drug companies in the United States. My argument was basically "drug companies aren't evil, they need to make a profit to make new innovations." Then my friend brought up the French health care system and how awesome it is (agreed.) Then he said that under that system [some large number] (25?) percent of new drugs came from France. I've been looking online and I can't find anything to support his claim. I believe this is because when I type "drugs" into google, most of the websites are talking about illicit drugs, so I'm not claiming it's not out there, I just can't find it. A sort of pie chart or graph would be the coolest, but anyway you can convey the information is fine! Please sight your sources, because my friend already gave me the information, I just want to confirm/understand it! Although, all (helpful) conversation on the topic is appreciated. Secondly, (if you would like to be super helpful!) do drug companies in France make the same profits, or are they highly regulated and controlled by the government? My understanding is that the taxes people pay for insurance in France is hefty (although much less than the US.) Does this help support a market system for the creation of drugs, or is it more social? Thanks! *This doesn't really add to my question, but in case you are interested in the topic, something I forgot to consider earlier was that French companies probably make a lot of there money in the States, so I should look at how much of the revenue comes from the US and how that compares to France per capita.

What are some good invention/innovation ideas? I'm in junior high and we have an invention/innovation science fair where you have to make an invention that has never been made before or an innovation that makes something already made better. I need some help coming up with ideas. I would like ideas that will amaze others. Please make the inventions/innovations something a junior high student can make with the help of some adults. There are awards for Most Environmentally Helpful, Most Scientific, Best Tool, Most Creative, Most Helpful to Humans, and Student's Choice.

what innovations in music, that the beatles came up with, are still used today?

Are small business owners really going to fall into the same tax brackets as big corporations? Last time I checked Obama wanted to Provide Tax Relief for Small Businesses and Start Up Companies: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation. This has nothing to do with making over $250k or not.

How many people make up the MacDonald's Culinary Innovation group in Oakbrooke, IL?

Why Obama want companies to 'give up thier profits'? Obama has said, 'The insurance companies, the drug companies, they're not going to give up their profits easily when it comes to health care.' Why should they? Who will profit from making those industries unprofitable? When pharmaceutical companies have given up their profits, who will fund pharmaceutical innovations, without which there will be much preventable suffering and death? What other industries should 'give up their profits'?

What makes it unethical for a Structural Engineer to verify/seal another Innovator's New Structural Designs? Example: An Innovator comes up with an improvement in structural design and assembly of building frames, that will advance the Field of Structural Engineering, the Science of Physics, and the Industry of Construction. The structures the Structural Engineers currently work on and sell to the Public will have more options, advancements, and improvements with the new structural innovation, to offer the Public. The new structural innovation will add additional structural innovations, educational, and recruiting possibilities to the Field of Structural Engineering. The structural innovation reduces the costs of assembling structure frames, and leads to reductions of material sizes to construct a building or structure. The structural innovation meets the three core Principles of Structural Engineering; Safety, Workability, and Affordability. The structural innovation cannot be acquired any other way except for Verifying the Innovator's works, working prototypes, and physical tests performed and recorede, that show absolute improvement to current Structure Design and Assembly, or by awarding the Innovator with a Structural Engineering Registration and Seal of his own. The structural innovation reduces damages and destruction of life, limb, and property in natural disasters and collision impacts. The structural innovation reduces work, labor, and money it takes to respond to, rescue and recovery, and repairing and rebuilding after tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, collisions, and floods. Which is more unethical; Continuing to approve buildings and structures that fail and harm the Public, or Verify the Innovator's structural innovation and improvement so that the Field of Structural Engineering can grow and advance, improve their products and services? The Innovator is Credited with the discovery and development of the structural innovation, and Legally Recognized as well as Publicly recognized as such. In effect, no Structural Engineer can use the new structural innovation or develop any type of similar structural systems without compensating or receiving permission from the Innovator. Workability means the same as Designability, as one of the three core Principles of Structural Engineering. It is ok per the International Building Code and Building Officials, too. Monophoto; Great answer; Please accept this clarification on the structural innovation: The structural innovation, as an accessory item to a primary structure frame/body, improves the structural performance of the accessorized structure frame/body, proven in several Structural Engineering practiced, and in the Fields of Mathematics, Construction Assembly, and Scientific Proof Methods and practices. The structural innovation thus becomes a Technology, because of the (positive) change in the physics of the accessorized structure frame/body, and the resulting improvements realized by the combined structure frame/body. Regardless of which provides the higher performance or functioning, the accessorized structure frame/body retains Primary Structure Status. The Primary Structure Frame/Body defines the shape of the structure, by maintaining the higher amount of rigidity and compression resistance, and was developed first in the chronological order of things. Monophoto; Great point about Professional Sealing and Patentabilities of this particular type of structural innovation. As Gaitorbait explains, when the Innovator is of another Field than Structural Engineering, the Works of the Innovator requires a Professional Verification and Seal, for the structural innovation is included with Products sold to and used bt rhe Public. As for Patents on the structural innovation, Technologies and Physics Phenomenae are not Patentable, but the resulting Products and System are, when the resulting End-Product is not assisted structurally by natural means (entrenched foundationed buildings, etc.). As for Professional Structural Engineering on the structural innovation, when the structural innovation consists of a continuous, Primary Frame aceesory which connects directly to the Primary Frame/Body, both Free-Standing and Entrenched structures require Professional Engineering Design Verification, of the Resulting Frame/Body System(s). As for the Innovator's responsibilities and securitization of his.her role in the structural Innovation, the Patents Office provides a Public Disclosure Rules and Regulations for those Innovators who discover & develop Technologies and Physics Phenomenae, which for the Innovator to "stake his/her claim" to the new technolgy or as Originator of the new Technology, in collaboration with the Treasury Department's Business Development Services Subsidiary Department. This includes that the Innovator establish a Business Entity and list all/part of the innovation in acceptable and Approved Business Entity Registries (minimum two). To Protect his/her Rights of Credit and Compensatory Securities, the Innovator must prove the Originality of the new Technology, and prove that he/she is the Person of discovery/development of the new Technology. I personally accomplished these measures by having my drawings eye-witnessed before Publicly Disclosing the new Technology. The measures (steps) I took to Establish this new Technology, and establish myself as the Originator (discoverer/founder) of Continuous Connector-Reinforcing Structural Strap-Nets (and Extensions), establishes me as the Author of this new Technology, and as such, I retain all Copyrights to this new Technology, and therefore, can require Compensation from any/all who choose to add this new Technology to their Product(s) and System(s). Once the Copyrights to this new Technology is obtained legally by those choosing to add this new Technology to their Field, Business, Educational Institution, Product a/o Service, they also absorb and retain the same Copyrights as the Original Innovator. The difference between Patenting Products and Establishing Technologies is that Patented Products and Systems have time limits of the Originator/Inventor, and the Originator of the new Technology maintains the Credit of Discovery and Authorship of the new Technology for Eternity. Gaitorbait; Great point on whether the Innovator is a Registeered Engineer/Professional or not. My understanding of this area is as follows: If the Innovator is a Registered Professional Designer or Not a Registered Professional Designer (Engineer/Architect), the Works of the Innovation still requires another Professional Designer's Verification and Seal.

What will be the long term solutions that the USA will undertake to deal with the illegal immigration problem? I predict that we will see new legislation in the coming years. There may be several bills that will fail before they come up with something that works. Also, I think you will see new technologies used to screen for illegal immigrants, as well as to keep them from crossing the border. There may be very large fences built in the coming years, but then there will also be virtual and electronic walls between the USA and Mexico. It will be monitored through means that are not available to us right now. But future innovations will make the fence impossible to get by without being detected. At this moment there are legistlators that are trying to pass laws that would require police officers to inquire about suspects (and perhaps other citizen's) immigration status. They want to make other professionals, such as medical service providers, do the same thing. Some of these things are a bit scarry, and there will certainly be no end to the contraversy. What do you think?

Anyone own a business or manages a company that I can ask 10 questions for business class? What is the most creative idea you have ever thought of in relation to your service to the company? How do you generate new ideas? Describe the most creative employee who ever worked for you, and how you encouraged that employee to generate useful ideas. What do you find to be the greatest challenge to making sure your coworkers' creativity gets converted to practical innovations? Describe the characteristics of the most creative employee in the office. Is this most creative employee also the most innovative? Why or why not? When your coworkers' come up with a novel idea that is not practical or profitable, what feedback do you provide them with? Do you consider your coworkers' to be creative? Do you consider your coworkers' to be innovative? How do you encourage and implement brainstorming in the organization? What question(s) or topics should I have covered in this interview that I left out?

question about my micro innovations webcam? i just purchased a micro innovations webcam from walmart.. didnt pay much (14 bucks).. well, i tried adjusting the settings and now i cant get it back to how its suppose to be.. the lighting is all messed up and there is no "reset" or "default" or anything to go back to how it was before i messed with it..Does anyone know the settings"numbers" that are suppose to be on it??I dont have the box or Id be taking this thing back in a heartbeat. I just bought this too..

Can I now read my Yahoo Messenger history from another computer? I received a somewhat ambiguous pop up message from Yahoo the other day. From what I can gather it appears to suggest because of new innovations I am now able to read my yahoo messenger chat history from another computer. Is this correct? If so, in laymans vernacular how do I initiate it? Up to now I cannot read at home on one computer what I say from work on another and this would be a great benefit. How do I do it if it is in fact true? I can always read my chat history but not from a different computer. I can only read specific history from the computer it was written on. I can read history on my laptop from anywhere if it was written on my laptop but you will find you cannot read history written on one computer from a different computer, it doesn't matter if you save archives or not, it is just not available on different computers one from the other. I have 3 computers in different locations and I have 3 totally separate histories all under my one and only ID. If you gave me your ID info and password, I could log in to your messenger but even if your settings included "save archives" your chat history would appear blank to me because it was not written on my computer. The ability to do this now was suggested in the yahoo pop up message but I cannot understand how to implement it.

What is your grand plan to fix the economy? I propose restoring fairness to the tax code and provide 95 percent of working Americans the tax relief they need. They will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. Eliminate all capital gains taxes on startup and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation trade policy that opens up foreign markets to support good American jobs. They will use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world.

What do you think is the most creative innovation for business? It is referring to any new invention which is related to medicine and health. For example, the portable ab-shaper (an exercise tool used to do sit-ups). But this invention should be extremely new!

What new gadgets and gizzos are there these days for 3D archery? The last time I picked up my bow, "Whisker Biscuits" were all the rage. What other goodies and innovations have come onto the market now that I'm thinking about getting back into 3D archery and looking to bring my bow back up to speed?

What is it called when breakthrough inventions are not released because of economic instability? Say there is a new innovation way ahead of our time. What is it called when that innovation is unreleased to the general public because it would cause an unstable environment? Like if a time machine was invented, they would not be selling it right after, they would wait a few dozen years and slowly draw it out to set up for it. I learned the word in economics, but I forgot what it was

does anyone know where i can get a schematic for a mag innovision model 780 lcd monitor? as i stated i have a mag innovation model 780 that won't power up. i know the standby voltage isn't getting to the power switch, however it is present on all other switches. if anyone can give me some advice or a link i would appreciate it. thanks!

Will real regulation and reform in financial markets have to wait for a Democratic administration? This is from todays WSJ. >>>Let’s see if we get this straight: The crisis erupted in unregulated markets, the ones with all that innovation. Regulated markets, with more transparency and limits on the leverage market participants can use, have held up while unregulated ones crumbled. Therefore, the solution is to reduce regulation of regulated markets, while doing nothing to restrain the unregulated ones.<<< "Does the building have to fall on somebody?" Of course the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is the media of record the Republican Socialist Party now in power.

What should my thesis be regarding the importance of stories and the role of language in daily life? I have been brainstorming some ideas that have come up really bad but I made a list of some of the keywords that could be associated... language (verbal, physical) stories truth nature culture life education creativity art imagination innovation semantic malfunction

What is going on with this package (UPS mail innovations) please help !!!? I ordered a package from UPS Mail Innovations Monday (the 23rd). It has been handed over to USPS and it has said "SHIPMENT ACCEPTANCE" for 3 days now. It is now Sunday the 29th and I have no idea what is going on. Is this normal? Does anyone know when should the package arrive? By the way the shipper said it will arrive no later than monday ( tommorow) but I'm not sure if that is right. Someone please answer I really want this package to come soon Thanks

If you have an idea for a new product, how do you scope out a way to market it without giving your idea away? Can you patent an idea? Do you have to create a prototype? Is there a place that buys ideas for inventions and products? I've been a child care provider for over 30 years and every time I think of something that would be helpful with children, I end up seeing something like it on the market thereafter! Could have been me with the innovation but I don't know where to start. Help!

Would you buy and use trendy, protective gloves for daily wear? I am currently doing an innovation project in my school and my group member came up with an idea to create a protective glove to help prevent splinters, insulate heat from hot objects etc. Do you think people will wear it? We are hoping to find a cool, thinner and comfortable material to make it and design fashionably, to appeal to younger people too. Pls give comments as we hope to find out if people need it and will people be willing to buy it? Thank you.

Who in your opinion, is the greatest skateboarder of all time? This question has been on my mind for over 20 years and since then there have been many vert, flatland, and other technical skaters that have come and gone. Some have been incarcerated, while others have died. Those that are still around are also considered as living legends. Being a skateboarder can be a thrilling pinnacle of freedom few people can experience while society as we know it, will never accept or understand. I am certain this question will become a living debate amongst the living for the rest of time because it evolves so rapidly it's hard to imagine how skateboarding was to what it is now. We can only hope in the future, we all can look back and see who really is the greatest. But for this question, you need to look at pioneering innovation, progression, originality, and character. Other than that, it's up to you. What do you think?

What is your personal mission statement? Organizations have mission statements, like: ▪ "Organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." (Google) ▪ "Provide society with superior products and services by developing innovations and solutions that improve the quality of life and satisfy customer needs, and to provide employees with meaningful work and advancement opportunities, and investors with a superior rate of return." (Merck) Do people have personal mission statements too? Yes they do! Here is the personal mission statement of Mahatma Gandhi: 'Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day: I shall not fear anyone on earth. I shall fear only God. I shall not bear ill toward anyone. I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering' So, what is (would be) yours?

How hard is it to get into project management? I am an elementary school teacher finishing up my M.Ed. My degree will be in (project) Management and Innovation. Rather than applying this to education, I was actually starting to consider the possibility of leaving the classroom and going into Project Management. I did a job search and saw that there ARE openings for PMs, but most say that they want 5-10 years experience. I did see one that was an education-related PM position that said they'd train newbies, but is that going to be hard to find again?

How should I brand myself for my professional training services?

This business is a sole propreitorship set-up, and my marketing activities are normally through business networking, direct marketing and internet marketing.

How many people have called their congressman about saving internet radio? the RIAA is trying to shut down internet radio. They want to increase royalty fees by ridiculous proportions, forcing all small- and mid- size internet radio companies into bankruptcy. We need to fight this. We can't let lobbyists in Washington ruin the innovation and creativity that internet radio sites like Pandora.com (which, by the way, I highly recommend) have brought to radio. Please go to www.savenetradio.org to understand a bit more. Please, please help with this. I think that many of you will agree that internet radio deserves a future brighter than that if regular broadcast radio, which is totally saturated with commercials, plays only the mainstream artists and genres, and has no flexibility at all in what programming they offer. Again, I can't stress this enough. If WE don't fight the moneymongers throwing their weight around in Washington, we'll end up with another watered-down, non-creative, factory-produced part of the entertainment industry. Nobody wants that.

Who needs a private sector when we have a Clinton make our health-care choices? Who needs a private sector when we have a Clinton make our health-care choices? The new Hillary health-care plan is very different from the old 1993-1994 Hillary plan. It is far slyer, and far cleverer, far more well-packaged. The same arguments that applied to the old Hillary plan do not necessarily apply to the new plan. But the new health plan ends up in the same place as the old health plan — with the government running everything. Here are the primary problems with the new Hillary health plan: What Entitlement Crisis? As everyone should know by now, our nation faces a dramatic entitlements crisis that will play out over the next 30 years. Federal spending has been hovering in a fairly stable manner, around 20-percent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), for over 50 years now, since the early 1950s. But the Federal government’s own official projections show that over the next 30 years or so, federal spending will soar to 40-percent of GDP, requiring total federal taxes as a percent of GDP to double. This is due to the exploding costs of the entitlement programs we already have, primarily Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Hillary Clinton and other Democrats respond to this overwhelming crisis by proposing that we not reform any of the existing entitlements. Rather, they suggest that we endorse massive new entitlements, including for instance, National Health Insurance. Policy suggestions like this force one to wonder, are the democrats numerically illiterate? The Individual Mandate Hillary Clinton’s plan starts out very simply: she will mandate under federal law that everyone in America must buy health insurance, and by this she supposedly achieves universal coverage. The catch, of course, is that once you start down the road with this mandate, you end up with government-run health care. If you are going to require people to buy health insurance, then the next question which follows is, exactly what do they have to buy to fulfill this requirement? Suppose they buy the Fraternity Plan that pays only for unlimited beer and pizza during the weekends? Have they satisfied the requirement? The serious point is if you are going to require people to buy health insurance, then you are going to have to specify exactly what health-plan people will have to buy to satisfy this requirement. So the government has gone from telling you that you need health insurance, to telling you what kind of health-insurance coverage or plan you must have. And with Hillary, we can assume that this will be no basic, minimum plan. But Hillary continues to insist that this is not government-run health care. And this, of course, is only the beginning. Special interests will swarm to get their favored coverage in the required plan. People will merrily get used to billing everything in the plan to the insurance company. And costs will rise. People will start complaining that they can’t afford paying for this costly coverage, and whining that the government must do something. The government itself will already be paying for a lot of this coverage, and budgets will therefore explode. So the government will do something to control costs. It will start rationing. It will start telling people what services and treatments they can have, and when. It will start delaying access to new innovations. It will squeeze payments to health care providers so much that the providers will start rationing what they provide. Government guidelines will start dictating to these providers that they ration care, and how to do it. After a while, people start to realize, “hey, we have government run health care.” Don’t doubt it. This is exactly what happens with every other country that tries to mandate or provide coverage through government. They realize ultimately there must be some way to control costs. There is no market in these plans to control costs. So the government must do it through the only alternative – rationing. Indeed (we will see below), Hillary’s plan already includes the machinery for this rationing. It doesn’t help that a small band of too clever conservatives have been supporting just such an individual mandate since 1993-94, when broad objections from conservatives defeated their plan. Congratulations to these folks today. Hillary Clinton has adopted their plan, just as they were forewarned. The Employer Tax Since workers would now have to buy insurance under the Hillary plan; employers would have to pay for it wherever possible. All large companies would be required to provide health coverage for their workers (a plan, again, specified by the government), or pay a tax to the government. Already paying among the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world, this is just what our corporations need — another tax. Once the politicians get used to raiding this corporate cookie jar, the tax will soon be higher than the corporate income tax. When that tax burden leads to unemployment, no problem, we will just raise taxes on the rich again, and pay for more welfare. All of this will just improve the economy, the Clintons promise. The Refundable Tax Credit Where employers don’t pay for health coverage, the government will. Hillary proposes a refundable tax credit for the purchase of health insurance that will leave workers paying no more than a specified percentage of their incomes for the coverage. Hillary’s campaign is already calling this “A Net Tax Cut for American Taxpayers.” The problem with this is that the bottom 40-percent of income earners do not pay any income taxes, and the middle 20-percent now pay for very little (this is the end result of all those Republican tax cuts for the rich all these years). But the tax credit is refundable, meaning that if you don’t have enough tax liability to take advantage of the credit, the government will still send you a check for the entire credit. So the tax credit here is not giving you back your own tax money. It is giving you back other people’s tax money. So this is not, in fact, a tax cut. It is a new spending program, a new entitlement program, in fact. We already have a huge program called Medicaid to pay for health coverage for people who are too poor to pay for it themselves. The federal government is now spending close to $250 billion on this program, in addition to probably another $150 billion from the states. And these costs are just projected to explode and explode again over the next 30 years. In other words, we already can’t afford the Medicaid program as it currently stands. But what Hillary is proposing with these tax credits is a massive expansion of it. And we are back to the democratic chimeras again. Unfortunately, some conservative Republicans have recently toyed around with the idea of refundable tax credits for the purchase of health insurance as well. They have rightly been trying to change tax code incentives to get workers to own their own health insurance rather than relying on employers. Realizing, however, that the tax changes would do nothing for at least half of all workers who now pay little or no income tax, they have been considering various refundable plans to expand the help to lower income workers. The fallacy here is trying to provide assistance to the poor, and to low income workers, through the tax code. This is what Medicaid is for, and lawmakers should focus on helping those with lower incomes through reforming that program. But Hillary is not done with the refundable tax credits. She would provide such credits as well to small businesses who buy health insurance for their workers, paying for as much as 50-percent of premiums for firms with fewer than 25 employees. And she would also bail out big companies, who are now being crushed by foolish past promises to pay for health insurance for their retirees, with still more tax credits. In return, corporate big shots from these companies publicly intone that indeed, it is time for national health insurance. A better solution would be to just have the government take over these already socialized companies and finish running them into the ground. Government-Run Health Care Hillary wisely calls her plan the American Health Choices Plan. Accordingly, everyone will be “free” to choose one of the health insurance options in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan. But how is this not government-run health care? No company gets on the list of plans in the FEHBP without first complying with a host of federal requirements and controls. That’s alright when the government is providing insurance for its own employees. But should we be treating all workers in the economy as if they are government workers when it comes to health insurance? Is this not precisely what is meant by excessive government control? While the FEHBP embodies good policy for the federal government dealing with its own employees, excessive rhetoric from the original designers of that system (about how it is a model for all health insurance) has now brought us to the point of believing that all workers in the private economy ought to be treated as government employees when it comes to health care. Hillary will also provide, as another option, the choice of a completely government run, government financed health insurance plan. Why? And, again, how is this not government run health care? Moreover, how benign will this plan really be when she is done subsidizing it up the kazoo, and driving all the private plans out of business with her blizzard of regulatory requirements? Bye, Bye Private Insurance Hillary’s plan will also impose guaranteed issue on all private health-insurance plans. This means that insurers cannot reject anyone for their insurance, even on the grounds that the patient is already woefully sick and costly. Moreover, insurers won’t be able to charge more costly patients higher premiums. Effectively, this would necessarily end any real private insurance in America. Under these requirements, companies are no longer insuring health costs, they are simply financing health costs. Health insurers would be like fire insurers who are required to issue new policies at standard rates to those who show up to buy coverage after their homes have already caught fire. Clearly, this is unworkable. Hillary says the insurers are supposed to be in the business of spreading the risk, not cherry picking the most healthy. But when someone shows up to buy health insurance with cancer and heart disease, we are no longer talking about risks. We are talking about payout. This is not an insurance business. Rest assured, moreover, that the healthy with health insurance do not want to see the “risks” of the irredeemably unhealthy spread to them. Those without health insurance who have become uninsurable can, and should, be served through other means, such as state uninsurable risk pools that do not involve trashing the health-insurance system for everyone else. But trashing the private health-insurance market is exactly what Hillary and her allies advocate. Rationing Finally, there is the Best Practices Institute, which should be called the Ministry of Truth for health care. These folks will study all sorts of medical care, issue protocols, and standards for what is the best way to treat this or that. And don’t expect any insurers anywhere, public or private, to pay for anything other than what these folks say is the best practice. To oppose the Institute, of course, would just be to pay for waste and inefficiency. So this is the ideal mechanism for imposing the inevitably necessary rationing. New, expensive medical breakthroughs will be overlooked, or delayed. If your doctor has a brilliant insight on how to treat you, no problem. All you have to do is go to the Best Practices Institute in Washington, explain why this treatment is the right one for you, and get the regs changed. In this brave new world, life insurance will be a lot more valuable to people than health insurance. Insurers, now all under the control of government, will also impose rationing by squeezing reimbursements to health providers, with the limited funds the new system will allow them, until the providers themselves cut back. This is what the government already does with Medicaid, and increasingly with Medicare. And there is so much more. In Hillary’s three speeches and three papers on her website, she outlines dozens of new health care requirements in her new system, which will not be government run. The government is all wise and all knowing, and just needs to make sure the rickety old health-care system gets it all right, as it is dragged into the 21st century. And when Hillary gets done with those fascist drug companies, you can forget about any new breakthrough drugs coming to market in the future, running up costs. But remember, the system is not government run, and don’t let those nasty Republicans tell you otherwise.

What is the biggest problem to restrict the development of "open innovation" websites? I mean websites on which you can post a challenging problem or task, and set a price for that, wait for challengers to come up with their solution, then you can pick out the best one and give the bounty to the champion, like www.innocentive.com. However, no website like that is as popular as Yahoo answers until now. What is the biggest problem to restrict their development?

How can we promote CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY and INNOVATION in our studies, research/work and daily life? 1.Is creativity innate and inborn? Or can it be cultivated? 2. If YES, How can we be more creative, original and inventive with respect to our work/studies/research/daily life? 3. My dad says that just hard, focussed work and deep knowledge is necessary to be creative. (Edison's 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration formula). Do you agree? (source - Recently went through a research based Masters degree and was pretty frustrated at the end with the little amount of original and creative work I came up with for my thesis. Also, life (am working now) seems to be quite linear and monotonic nowadays. Hence, I want to know, how people out there are inventive, how they come up with original ideas and results, and how they are more creative in general. Please give your ideas, views and suggestions. Thanks!

Do you think the high oil prices are actually a good thing? I am starting to think about this more and more. For as long as I can remember we have been looking for alternative energy sources but nothing has come from it. Necessity brings innovation. If gas prices get low again, people and businesses will just bite the bullet and adjust to them. If they keep going up, smart business people will begin to work on solutions to the problem and begin to attract a new niche market. I say keep on rising. I'm ready to get off oil. What do you think?

Are there any shops in London where I can go in PERSON & buy a new recycling newspaper Log-Maker gadget thing? I am looking to buy one of these new eco-friendly gadgets (they make logs/bricks that you can burn on your fireplace - from your old newspapers and junkmail!) You just put in old papers, and press down on the handles (or a button, depending on the type!) and a brick pops out. Apparently they burn for up to 2 hours. COOL! I have seen lots on websites, but I'd like to buy one in a store in PERSON in London, UK, as a gift tomorrow, if I can. Does anyone know if any of the green stores or eco-charities have started stocking them yet? I am quite deperate for one tomorrow, if I can - they are a brilliant innovation! Many, many thanks to all out there!
