I'm mad as hell about this because I want the ACA to succeed. I don't think its ideal, but its vastly better than the existing system of hospitals as clinics for the uninsured hordes. I couldn't agree more. You only get one

I don't know if taxing is the right idea. I just know that a city void of actual residents is a city without a soul. NYC is becoming like parts of Florida, except at least in FL, the residency is tied to a season, so you get a critical

"Google paid around $25 million for Frommer's, according to a person briefed on the deal, which hasn't yet closed. But the deal is more significant for its strategy than its price tag." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100008723963904447724

I went with a Nook Touch instead of a Kindle, because it is very easy to get your hands on standard epub and load them at will. Loading e-books from outside the Amazon ecosystem can be done, but it is a cumbersome process at best. The Nook
