Horses Benefit From Probiotics

Probiotic supplements are popular among humans, but new studies show they may also benefit horses. Horse owners are providing their animals with nutritional supplements containing probiotics. Recent studies show those probiotics may help horses’ defense mechanisms and their GI tracts.

Nutritional supplements containing probiotics are popular purchases for some horse owners, even if not all of these products’ label claims are backed by research. But some researchers are working to better understand these probiotics’ effects on horses. At the 2013 Western Veterinary Conference, held Feb. 17-21, in Las Vegas, Nev., one veterinarian presented research behind a certain type of probiotic supplement for horses.

Martin Furr, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, a professor and Adelaide C. Riggs Chair in Equine Medicine at Virginia Tech’s Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, described a preliminary study evaluating the effects of using Pediococcus acidilactici and Saccharomyces boulardii-based probiotics in horses.

Probiotics are a subtype of immunomodulators, which are substances designed to enhance the body’s defense mechanisms. Manufacturers market these nutritional supplements to support and protect the gastrointestinal (GI) system in a variety of mammals, including horses. Furr said that while probiotics’ mechanism of action remains “poorly described,” existing research suggests they can (when consumed appropriately) have a number of beneficial effects on animals’ immune system and/or GI tract function, including: continue reading…

Patent Law Changes

“First-To-File” Patent System To Go Into Effect in March

Beginning March 16, the United States will begin using the “first-to-file” patent system in place of the current “first-to-invent” system. This means the first person to file a patent will be granted the rights even if they are not the first to come up with the invention. This is not new in the US but has been resurrected by the America Invents Act which was signed into law in 2011.

Committee Meeting About ID’s for Immigrants

The Los Angeles City Council will be discussing the proposal for photo ID’s for undocumented immigrants. The proposal is supported by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Proponents of the proposal say that since immigrants would be able to apply for bank accounts, crime should decrease because they won’t have to carry cash. Critics of the proposal claim that offering ID’s is creating more incentive for people that come into the country illegally.

Here is more from the Los Angeles Times:

“The feeling was there are other ways for people who don’t have documents to open bank accounts, and this is really a federal policy, not a city policy,” said Gold, a psychiatrist. “The city should really focus on things important to the city, like balancing the budget, fixing the streets and the transportation-tax proposal.”

Card applicants would have to meet “strict” criteria, the mayor’s office said. The card, which officials say would look like a student ID, would include a photo, street address, date of birth, hair and eye color, height and weight. Law enforcement agencies could choose whether to recognize the card, and it would not substitute for a driver’s license, the mayor’s office said. The card would not be accepted as identification required for air travel.

The city program would be run by a vendor who would charge applicants between $10 and $20 to obtain a card, and a few dollars a month for the debit service, which would be optional, officials said. The details of how residents would obtain the cards haven’t been spelled out. Thousands of poor and elderly legal residents who don’t have a driver’s license or other identification would benefit from the program, the mayor’s office said. Continue reading…

Deferred Action Program: Slow Start

The deferred action program put into place by the Obama administration has had fewer applications than expected. There have been approximately 180,000 applications and 4591 approved applications out of the 1.3 million people that would qualify for the program. Applicants that are approved may also receive work visas and in some states they could file for a drivers license. Why are immigrants hesitating? Some think they are waiting to see what happens with the election or the outcome of the first applicants before applying.

Here is more from an affiliate of The Ledger:

”They do have a lot of concerns. Keep in mind, they are in the country undocumented,” said Tampa immigration lawyer Christian Zeller. ”Deferred action is just that. It’s not an immigration status.”

Mitt Romney’s recent announcement that he would shut down deferred action if elected president could trigger a change in the number of young immigrants applying for the program, local immigration officials said.

The Republican presidential nominee says he won’t revoke deferred action waivers or work permits approved under President Barack Obama, but would eliminate the rest of the program and replace it with ” permanent reform of our broken immigration system,” a Romney spokesman said. Continue reading…

City Council Set to Consider Proposal of Photo ID’s for Immigrants

In Los Angeles, a proposal to allow undocumented immigrants with a photo ID will soon be discussed by the City Council. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa supports the proposal because it will help immigrants open bank accounts among other things. Critics contend that coming to U.S illegally should not rewarded or aided and fear that providing ID’s will be an incentive for more immigrants to come into the country illegally.

Immigration a Big Topic in Debate

One of the hot topics during the debate between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama was immigration reform. Mitt Romney pointed out that President Obama had promised immigration reform during his previous campaign and failed to deliver. President Obama pointed out that he is for immigration reform helping illegal immigrants become citizens while Mitt Romney is taking a tougher stance.

Here is more from an ABC affiliate:

“George Bush embraced comprehensive immigration reform. He didn’t call for self-deportation,” the president said.

Romney meanwhile sought to soften the blow of his “self-deportation” policy (albeit with an unfortunate use of the *i-word*) without walking away from it.

“Self-deportation says let people make their own choice. What I was saying is, we’re not going to round up 12 million people, undocumented illegals, and take them out of the nation. Instead let people make their own choice,” he said. I’m not in favor of rounding up people and taking them out of this country.” Continue reading…

Tax Policy of the Holiday Season

ebbdawg — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:49:36 +0000

In this season some aspects like average salary and occupations are vital for every member of the Congress should study, specially be aware about the severe consequences of the payroll tax cut policies.

HUFFINGTONPOST- Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Congress has an important tax policy decision to make. With the economy still struggling and one in eleven Americans out of work, January 1 would be an awful time to cut every paycheck in America. But, every paycheck in America will shrink unless Congress acts to extend, and preferably expand, the payroll tax holiday by the end of the year.

Up and down Wall Street, economists are warning about the severe consequences of inaction on payroll taxes and extended unemployment benefits. Goldman Sachs estimates that expiration of the payroll tax cut would reduce growth by as much as two-thirds of a percentage point in early 2012. Moody’s Mark Zandi adds that if Congress does not extend the payroll tax holiday and unemployment benefits for 2012, “there will be approximately one million fewer jobs by year’s end.”

Failure to extend the payroll tax cut would hurt workers in nearly every job and income category. For example, the nation’s 1.4 million truck drivers, whose salaries average $39,450, would pay $789 more in payroll taxes, on average. The nation’s 2.7 million nurses, whose salaries average $67,720, would lose $1,354, on average…continue reading

President Obama prods lawmakers on Social Benefits tax cut

ebbdawg — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:48:08 +0000

The deadline for the payroll tax cuts are near, although the members of Congress are still refusing to continue tax cuts that represents $1,000 a year for an average family.

WASHINGTON- President Obama was in a holiday mood on Tuesday, urging members of Congress not to “be a Grinch” by refusing to continue tax cuts that mean $1,000 a year for the average family.

The payroll tax cuts are set to expire at the end of the year, but Democrats plan to bring the president’s proposal for another vote next week.

“In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we are going to give them another chance,” Obama told a crowd in Manchester, N.H.

Lawmakers are heading home this week for the Thanksgiving break but Obama hit the campaign trail Tuesday, portraying the GOP refusal to extend the payroll tax cuts as the same as actively voting to raise taxes.

“Next week they are going to get to take a simple vote,’ Obama said. “If they vote ‘no’ again, the typical family’s taxes will go up $1,000 next year.”…continue reading.

Experts Declares: Tax Cut Stimulus Could Works

ebbdawg — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 06:32:05 +0000

The economic adviser and expert Christina Romer has claimed about the effectiveness of fiscal policy is based on a study where she declares that Tax Cut Stimulus could work as anti-recessionary stimulus.

CNBE.- Earlier this month, former Obama administration economic adviser Christina Romer delivered a lecture at Hamilton College in upstate New York in which claimed fiscal stimulus is effective.

Romer’s claim about the effectiveness of fiscal policy is based on a study she did with her husband David Romer prior to her appointment as chair of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors. They attempted to divide tax cuts implemented to ward off economic slumps from other types of tax cuts.

What they found when the ran the numbers is that tax cuts intended as anti-recessionary stimulus work. (Hat tip: The Money Illusion.)

This should be welcome by those of us who favor cutting taxes. But it is also being welcomed by the kind of people who think in terms of “aggregate demand” — which is to say, Keynesians of various stripes. For Keynesians, it is usually self-evident that if tax cuts work as stimulus, government spending will work even better.

The standard Keynesian logic on this is pretty simple. Some percentage of a tax cut will be saved by those who receive it. But all of government spending is actually spent, which means that it should have a greater stimulative effect.

Some Keynesians will even go so far as to say that even employing people to dig ditches and fill them back up will stimulate the economy. After all, that money is really being spent, put into the bank accounts of people who are actually made wealthier by the spending.

One problem with this point of view, however, is that the broader economy is not made any wealthier. If you dig ditches that don’t really need digging, you’ve provided cash to the jobless but not created any real assets of value. There’s nothing that can be bought or sold later. Or, even more important, nothing whose purchase can be foregone in the future because it was purchased now with government money…continue reading.

Supercommittee Inability to cut off Debt shows Panel’s division

ebbdawg — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 06:06:30 +0000

The last fiscal debate that has divided Washington between Democrats and Republicans; the negotiations about social security payroll tax cut and revenue incensement polities has paralyzed the nation.

WASHINGTON – The failure of Congress’ “supercommittee” to propose even one dollar in deficit reduction has left Capitol Hill without a strategy for tackling the nation’s spiraling debt — and left several trillion-dollar spending and tax issues that must be resolved as soon as next month.

The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction announced Monday it could not come up with the minimum $1.2 trillion of deficit reduction required under its mandate, much less the $4 trillion that deficit hawks said was necessary to help stabilize the finances of the U.S. government, whose debt has topped $15 trillion.

The collapse of the 12-member bipartisan panel’s negotiations rattled the financial markets and set the stage for mandatory cuts to defense and domestic programs that would begin in 2013 — after next year’s presidential and congressional elections.

It ensures that the fiscal debate that has paralyzed Washington — between Democrats who want to protect expensive social programs and increase revenue by raising taxes on the richest Americans; and Republicans who want to trim government and have steadfastly rejected tax increases — will be a fundamental choice confronting voters in 2012.

For now, the panel’s inability to reach a deal leaves Congress with a range of unfinished budget items that could have been part of a larger bargain over federal taxes and spending.….continue reading.
