Quote:"You gotta hand it to German businessman Siegfried Rotthaeuser, who came up with a brilliant run around the European Union ban on conventional incandescent light bulbs- he rebranded them as "Heat Balls" and is importing them for sale as a "small heating device".
Rotthaeuser's website is in German but Google does a passable job of translation. First, he's very clear that the Heat Ball isn't for lighting, stating (in German, the following is translated) "A HEAT BALL ® is not a lamp, but it fits in the same version!"
// The ban on Incand-bulbs is pretty stupid. Real light bulbs work well in colder climates why CFLs do not. CFLs are stupid. LEDs are an interesting choice, but they too are not as flexibly functional as IncanBulbs

He also eliminated the marriage tax penalty, created an Angel Investment Credit to help early-stage companies, and helped businesses expand markets, leading seven trade missions.
Minnesota's manufactured exports rose 39 percent since he took office.

Quote:"Quit the caterwauling about class sizes: Class sizes in the US have shrunk steadily over the past 30 years. They are lower than at any point in the history of compulsory education. They are smaller than in any of our competitor nations. But., Shrock notes, the US system has systematically chosen “quantity over quality” – his words; we’ve thrown a lot of teachers into the classrooms, but given them an exceedingly low bar to try to surmount. More on that in a bit.

Quote:"Julie Exline, a psychologist at Case Western Reserve University, says anger toward God often coincides with deaths, illnesses, accidents or natural disasters, as well as personal disappointments, failures or interpersonal hurts.
The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, finds Protestants, African-Americans and older people tend to report less anger at God. People who do not believe in God may still harbor anger and anger toward God is most distressing when it is frequent, intense or chronic.
