    1. A โ€œsolutionโ€ to GR is more like a model in logic: it may satisfy a theoryโ€™s axioms but have other properties that are contingent (unless the theory is categorical, meaning that all of its models are isomorphic).

    1. Marlene Feist, city spokeswoman, said the unusual intensity of the rainfall that evening coupled with debris jamming street drains led to the overflows, which were necessary to avoid damage to the cityโ€™s main collector pipe that runs wastewater to the treatment plant northwest of town. โ€œItโ€™s all about protecting the interceptor. An overflow from one of the tanks is much better than risking the integrity of the interceptor,โ€ Feist said.

    1. But the president and the speaker have both made the commitment that welfare reform will be next, Medicaid reform - these are things that really impact the drivers of our debts and of our deficits. And the growing economy that we expect as a consequence of this tax bill will make all the other problems we have to address in spending easier to solve because you'll have fewer people participating in many of the entitlement programs and safety net programs if we can get the type of job growth and wage growth that we expect as a consequence of the tax bill.

      That's all well and good if the growth numbers pan out, but if they don't (as is likely), expect Republicans to gut the programs nonetheless, claiming that we can no longer afford them ('starve the beast').
