Flap Your Lips Friday
Posted by Michelle Moquin on November 8th, 2013
Good morning!
I heard about this interview, Chuck Todd interviewing Obama on Health Care, but I had a tough time finding it. Perhaps you did too. If so, here it is in its entirety:
*****
Blog me.
Social Butterfly: Yep, that is what it seems like. But we must keep working on it, or it surely won’t go away. The story you posted is one of the sickest things I have ever read. What are the parents of these boys doing to raise such boys who have no respect at all for women?
peace…love…
Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle
Aka BABE: We all know what this means by now :)

Most definitely what you posted is horrid Social Butterfly. The fault lies with the parents. I cannot imagine a scenario where I would allow one of my boys to behave in that manner.

They came to my house yesterday
and harmed a member of my family
I turned he other cheek.
The told me that they will return
Tomorrow – to harm another
I turned the other cheek
I knew not what we did
Nor do they care whom we are
I turned the other cheek
Tomorrow I must decide
How much I love my family – and me
I’ll turn the other cheek
Today – they are here
Oh life it isn’t fair
My love and care are too great
I cannot turn the other cheek
My God – I don’t hate
My intentions are – to prevent harm
My family must live
I didn’t turn the other cheek

Paula, truly the fault begins in the home. As a father of 3 girls and 4 boys I have read this article to them and said this Canadian father would never tolerate that kind of behavior. I would take you to the police myself. If they didn’t do something I would take matters into my own hands.
I also admonished them that they were not to keep company with any who would do such a thing or keep secrete the knowledge that they knew someone who had.
I pray for those girls.

Who are those people who don’t understand your policy doesn’t provide what it claims it will do. It is a small percentage of people. Obama is trying to find a solution.

This is just a ploy by the right to attempt an end run around ObamaCare. It will work if Obama gets a chance to make it work.

WOW!!!!! Michelle I am going crazy trying to catch up with all the back posting people are doing. Didn’t you suggest at one time that they make their comments to the current blog page?
People get with the program. Post on the most current page.

ON FRIDAY ISRAEL REJECTED A DEAL BETWEEN WORLD POWERS AND IRAN TO BE HELD IN SWIZERLAND Just as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry prepared to join nuclear talks that aim to nail down an interim agreement on the decade-old standoff.
Western diplomats say that a deal at the negotiations in Geneva is far from certain, and it would in any case mark only the first step in a long process towards settling the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Nevertheless, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran would be getting “the deal of the century” in the talks between Tehran and six powers.
“Israel utterly rejects it and what I am saying is shared by many in the region, whether or not they express that publicly,” Netanyahu told reporters.
“Israel is not obliged by this agreement and Israel will do everything it needs to do to defend itself and the security of its people,” he said before meeting Kerry in Jerusalem.
Israel has repeatedly warned that it might strike Iran if it did not halt the nuclear program, accusing Tehran of seeking to build atomic weapons. Iran says its various nuclear facilities are geared only to civilian needs.
Tehran is trying to win respite at the talks from international sanctions which are strangling its economy. The United States has said world powers will consider relaxing some of the sanctions if Iran takes verifiable steps to limit its nuclear program.
Iran and the powers are discussing a partial suspension deal covering only a limited period. It would be the first stage in a process involving many rounds of negotiations in the next few months aimed at securing a permanent agreement.
The core of that first stage would be freeing up cash frozen in foreign accounts for years, giving Iran access to funds.
Netanyahu was meeting Kerry for the third time in barely 48 hours. The U.S. secretary of state was due to fly immediately afterwards to Geneva where Iran and six world powers are holding negotiations. These are the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council – the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain – plus Germany.
Israel has called for the sanctions to remain in place until Iran has dismantled its entire uranium enrichment program. “I understand that the Iranians are walking around very satisfied in Geneva – as well they should be, because they got everything and paid nothing,” Netanyahu said.
Kerry, on a Middle East tour, will fly to the Swiss city at the invitation of European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in “an effort to help narrow differences” in the negotiations, a senior State Department official said.
Ashton is coordinating talks with Iran on behalf of the six.
After the first day of meetings set for Thursday and Friday, both sides said progress had been made.
U.S President Barack Obama said the international community could slightly ease sanctions against Iran in the early stages of negotiating a comprehensive deal.
“There is the possibility of a phased agreement in which the first phase would be us … halting any advances on their nuclear program … and putting in place a way where we can provide them some very modest relief, but keeping the sanctions architecture in place,” he said in an interview with NBC News.
Kerry said earlier in Israel that Tehran would need to prove its atomic activities were peaceful, and that Washington would not make a “bad deal, that leaves any of our friends or ourselves exposed to a nuclear weapons program”.
“We’re asking them to step up and provide a complete freeze over where they are today,” he said on Thursday.
In Geneva, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was cautious on the chances of a deal. “Too soon to say,” he told reporters on Thursday after the first day of talks.
“I’m a bit optimistic,” he added. “We are still working. We are in a very sensitive phase. We are engaged in real negotiations.”
The fact that an agreement may finally be within reach after a decade of frustrated efforts and hostility between Iran and the West was a sign of a dramatic shift in Tehran’s foreign policy since the election of a relative moderate, Hassan Rouhani, as Iranian president in June.
The Islamic Republic, which holds some of the world’s largest oil and gas reserves, wants the powers to lift increasingly tough restrictions that have slashed its daily crude sales revenue by 60 percent in the last two years.
Both sides have limited room to maneuver, as hardliners in Tehran and hawks in Washington would likely sharply criticize any agreement they believed went too far in offering concessions to the other side.
Iran’s Nuclear enrichment is being used to make Nuclear Bombs! The first and second targets will be Israel and United States territory.
World War III is not very far away. It will begin unless Iran’s Nuclear Program is totally knocked out of business, probably by a few brave Israeli Pilots as was done once before. If not, Iran would have had Nuclear Weapons ten years earlier and the world would be a Radioactive mess by now.

The argument concerning who is responsible for the storm should be tabled. It would not have been possible if the humans hadn’t made it possible because of their global warming. The size will only get bigger.
If one of us chooses to use the size to punish those who refuse to cooperate is just that a choice. Whose choice it was to remove the path towards?

I know how to edit myself I was not going to reveal the destination. The question still remains as to whose choice it was to change the direction from Guam towards its present path.
I expect to recharge it if the argument about Vietnam remains. Let those who differ put their concerns on the table immediately. Also China is due for more than just a storm. The Counsel says it must know that we are not going to negotiate anymore without concrete evidence of concurrence with already agreed upon policies.

Making Sense of Health Apps and Where mHealth is Headed with Happtique
10-29-2013
Dear Fellow Conservative,

Joining me this week on PowerTalk is Ben Chodor, co-founder of Happtique, a company that certifies medical, health and fitness apps through its App Certification program and helps healthcare professionals fill prescriptions with its App Prescribing prescription tool.
That’s right; we’re going behind the scenes and in the know this week on mHealth.
It’s no secret that our lives are becoming more and more connected. Mobile carriers like AT&T, Verizon and others are looking for new revenue streams as smartphone and tablet sales grow. We’re hearing more about The Connected Car, The Connected Home and wearables. In that last category, we’ve seen smartwatches and other devices from Samsung, Nike (NKE), Fitbit, Jawbone and others. These devices include Fuelbands, fitness trackers, activity trackers and the like.
With a rich ecosystem of supported devices and applications, mHealth enables you to manage your personal health and wellness from the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere.
Given the explosive growth of what I call the Connected Society, revenue in the global mobile health market is expected to reach $26 billion in 2017, according to a report released by Research2Guidance. Driving that is the 1.7 billion people that are expected to download health apps by 2017. And there is no shortage to choose from. Today, there are about 97,000 mobile health apps in 62 different app stores.
That’s where Happtique comes into play. As you’ll hear Ben talk about, there is a lot going on in the world of health, prescriptions and apps. Before too long, your insurance company may reimburse you for your home healthcare equipment AND the apps that not only run them but connect them with your physicians. If you think that’s exciting, just wait until you hear what Ben and I talk about in this edition of PowerTalk.
