The Science Center of Iowa said Wednesday that it's Tyrannosaurus rex exhibit is setting new attendance records.
Officials said that in the four months since the T. rex exhibit opened, more than 83,000 people have visited. That broke records for the museum that originally opened in 1970.
The record-breaking attendance includes more than 11,000 school children from around the Midwest, Science Center officials said.
The center's last big exhibit, Body Worlds, drew 77,000 visitors in 5.5 months.
The exhibit ends May 12.

Dave Schwartz bio
AFP South Carolina State Director Dave Schwartz has spent his career advocating for conservative policies and giving a voice to hard-working taxpayers. As AFP's Virginia state director, Dave spearheaded the fight against ObamaCare and oversaw the highly successful pilot project of AFP's new field program – a program that registered thousands of new voters and is now being replicated nationwide. Dave's leadership made AFP the go-to organization for limited government, free market policy in Virginia. He has had media appearances on Fox, NBC, CBS, and in the New York Times, Politico, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Dave looks forward to reconnecting with his family in South Carolina and giving Palmetto taxpayers the strongest conservative organization in the state. His focus is to make South Carolina a better place to live, work and raise a family. Prior to his service at AFP, Dave was an aide to Gov. Bob Ehrlich (R-MD) and Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD). He and his wife Casey have a 19 month-old daughter named Darby.
You can reach Dave on twitter at @afpsc or on Facebook at facebook.com/AFPSC.

November 28, 2014
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- A man convicted of shooting and wounding a Rifle police officer in 2010 has been sentenced to 29 years in prison.
An Associated Press contributor reports Phil Amonette apologized to officer Garrett Duncan in court Tuesday. His attorneys had argued the shooting was accidental.
Duncan was shot while investigating a domestic violence report. He was shielded by a protective vest and a phone in his chest pocket. Another officer who was with Duncan returned fire, wounding Amonette.
A jury acquitted Amonette in July of first-degree attempted murder but convicted him of first-degree assault against a peace officer with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief-domestic violence.

Patrick Reed, winner of the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Sunday, is not exactly a newcomer to the PGA Tour. The 23-year-old is now a three-time winner on tour and ranked 20th in the world. But his cocky/confident comments to a live TV audience after the triumph sent a lot more people to learn his name. As of this posting, Patrick Reed is No. 2 on Google's "Hot Searches" list.
So here you go Googlers, five things you need to know about Patrick Reed:
He really likes Tiger Woods, and likes to dress like him
You may have noticed that Reed sported Woods' signature Sunday look – red shirt, black pants, black hat – at Doral, but that's neither an accident nor a new thing. Reed wore similar attire when he won the Wyndham Championship (remember his shot in the playoff?) in August and the Humana Challenge in January. It's a very intentional move to dress like his favorite player. In college, Reed listed Woods as his favorite player, the person he'd most like to trade places with for one day, the person he'd most like to have dinner with, and the first member of his dream foursome.
He's not on Twitter, so he's not seeing your witty comments
If you didn't see Reed's post-round comments, basically he said he thinks he's a top-five player. That sent Twitter into a tizzy:
Credit to Patrick Reed. He's the only player to successfully squash post tournament coverage of Tigers every move! PATRICK REED

I liked Patrick Reed until he opened his mouth. Good win, bad interview. Patrick and Poulter need to go hang out. #5 and #2.
— Craig Cozby (@craigcozby) March 9, 2014
Good thing Patrick Reed showed more control and poise on the course than in that NBC interview, or he wouldn't have won.
— John Carvalho (@JohnCarvalhoAU) March 9, 2014
That interview just proved it. Patrick Reed is a dork. I've never heard a guy recite his resumé in an interview. #pga
— Ray D (@rayderge) March 9, 2014
He keeps his caddies in the family
Reed's caddie this season is Kessler Karain, a newbie looper. The only reason he's on the bag is because his sister, Justine, is pregnant with Reed's first child, due in May. When she's able, Reed's wife will be back on his bag, hopefully in time for the PGA Championship in August. Justine is a 5-foot-1 blonde – far from your typical caddie – but knows her man better than anyone else. Reed turned pro in 2011, Justine began caddying for him in 2012, and they were married later that year. Tying the knot was easy compared to what they'd been through in 2012 – Patrick didn't have his PGA Tour card so he often tried qualifying for events through the Monday qualifiers. Justine would drive them from tournament to tournament, and he qualified for a crazy six events through Monday qualifying. He earned his card in Q-school later that year.
He knows Augusta well
Reed's already taken in more than $3 million this year (more winnings than the rest of his career combined), is one of five players who have three PGA Tour victories before turning 24, and is the youngest player to win a World Golf Championship. Yet he's never even appeared in a major. But he'll get that chance next month when he tees it up at the Masters in a town he's quite familiar with. Reed played collegiate golf at Georgia before transferring to Augusta State, which he led to two NCAA titles. Individually, Reed went 6-0 in match play over two years at the NCAAs, and twice was a first-team All-American.
The Reed's like nice rides
Reed is enjoying only his second year at the top level of golf, but he's already driving around like a seasoned vet. He recently told Sports Illustrated Golf Digital that he owns a CLS AMG 63 Mercedes and got a SL 550 Mercedes for Justine. MSRP starts right around $100,000 for both of those cars.

Today she's wearing a tight little red bikini and red fishnets that show off her long shemale legs while she waits for her new friend and partner in sex to fuck her bareback. Then when he finally shows up she kneels at his feet and gives him the perfect little shemale smile as she sucks on his cock. Then she takes his giant throbbing man meat inside her little shemale asshole bareback, and the only thing she can think about is getting more bareback fucking the next day.

Last week, the hilarious and loud Billy Eichner actually made David Letterman laugh (quite a feat!) with a great bit called "Celebrity Child or Kentucky Derby Winner":
After it aired, Live Wire's photographer, Jennie Baker emailed me and asked "On a past show, did Live Wire do a game asking someone to determine whether names on a list belonged to a Kentucky Derby horse or a celebrity's child?"
The answer is yes. In April of 2012, we recorded and aired a segment written and performed by Sean McGrath called, "Famous Race Horse or Child of Celebrity?"
Says McGrath about the coincidence: "If this was some Billy on the Street game that they did many years before I thought of it, then so be it and good for them. If not, then they should know I have plenty of ideas that are way better than that one that they shoulda stole."
They probably didn't steal the idea...comedy minds and the zeitgeist work in mysterious ways, and we're just a wee public radio show out of Portland with a podcast that can be heard worldwide. We're just saying that it sounds awfully familiar.
You can view our script and listen to our version from two years ago below. Eeeenteresting.
Pope Francis has been a bit controversial since his papacy began in March of 2013, due to what's perceived as his "more liberal" views and casual, conversational nature. We've discovered an internal memo outlining his schedule, which might provide some additional insight into his papal style.
It's summertime in the Northwest and for a lot of folks (not us!) that means barbecuing and smoking a lot of marijuana (which we would never do!).

Well, here are a few activities and scenarios that have been scientifically proven to keep you from wigging out to the max.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 31, 2014 – Public Radio International® today announced that it will add Live Wire! with host Luke Burbank to its portfolio beginning July 1, 2014. Live Wire!, a weekly, live variety program that features conversation and performance with authors, artists, and people doing remarkable things, broadens PRI's offering of content that reveals the ways culture of all types influences our lives each day.
"PRI understands that people are inspired by all types of experiences: intellectual, artistic, serious and humorous. Live Wire! brings those experiences to audiences in ways that are relevant and energetic. We are delighted to be working with them. " said Melinda Ward, Chief Content Officer of PRI.
Live Wire! launched in 2004. Developed by veteran radio and theater producers, the team at Live Wire! uses live theater to tell great stories, introduce new ideas, spark conversations, and make people laugh. Host Luke Burbank says of the show, "Portland has so much wisdom to share with the rest of the country: Can a baby pull off an ironic mustache? What's the best flannel to wear in the rain? Why is that bicyclist so mad? And now, thanks to our partnership with PRI, we finally can. By the way, it's 'yes' 'none' and 'because, earth-killer'."
Recorded from the Alberta Rose Theater in Portland, Oregon, Live Wire! has quickly built a loyal following over the air and as a podcast. Forty-eight stations across the U.S. currently air the program, bringing its lively sensibility to not only the loyal public radio audience, but also those hungry for insights from authors, filmmakers, thought-leaders, sports figures, politicians and foodies. Robyn Tenenbaum, Co-Creator and Executive Producer, commented, "We are thrilled to be partnering with PRI. When we started this show 10 years ago our goal was to be heard by ears across the country and around the world. Our loyal Portland audiences have been extremely supportive and have helped us grow. We currently air in some wonderful markets outside of Oregon including Seattle, Austin, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and we look forward to working with PRI to reach our true goal of World Domination."
About PRI: At Public Radio International, we believe sharing powerful stories, encouraging exploration, and connecting people and cultures will effect positive change in the world. By building a deeper awareness and understanding of the world's peoples, conditions, issues and events, we enable others to form their own opinions, share their knowledge and creativity, and take informed actions on issues that matter to them.
Partnering with public media's most talented producers and hosts, we offer distinctly global voices on "PRI's The World®" and CBC shows like "As it Happens" and "Q with Jian Ghomeshi." We cultivate conversations representing diverse viewpoints on "The Takeaway," "To the Point," and "The Tavis Smiley Show." We present voices of culture, contemporary American life and artistry on "This American Life" and "Studio 360® from PRI and WNYC."

OK, we don't know much about toys. Anymore. Once you get more modern than G.I. Joe and the video game Asteroids, we are usually lost. So we went to two matchless sources to find the best toy store out there: The New Yorker magazine and our six-year-old son. "I like the... Toys R Us a lot," wrote the New Yorker's Paul Goldberger. "It's exuberant, and doesn't try to be important." OK, Goldberger was writing specifically about the grand new toy store in Times Square (the likes of which you won't find in South Florida) as it compares with the work of Prada architect Rem Koolhaas. But still, it says something about the company. Not as much, however, as our six-year-old did: "It's the best." Good enough for us.

The aircraft was on a routine fire reconnaissance patrol. There were no eyewitnesses to the accident. Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) radar data showed no primary or secondary targets at or above 3,000 feet AGL. No record was found that either crew member initiated an emergency transmission. No weather phenomena was observed by any source in the area. The aircraft crashed at the apex of a river bed in a narrow canyon at an elevation of 5,620 feet MSL, and came to rest on a sandbar with a measured 400-foot radius bend in the river. The wall on the west side of the river rises steeply to about 6,100 feet MSL, and the terrain on the east side rises to equal heights over a slightly longer horizontal distance. The trim speed of the aircraft was computed by Beech Aircraft at 120 knots based on the elevator trim tab position in comparison to the gross weight and CG. A 73-degree bank angle is required for the aircraft to make a 400-foot-radius turn at 120 knots. The aircraft stall speed at that bank angle is 111 knots. An extensive postcrash fire consumed the aircraft and no ground scars were observed outside of the immediate area of the main wreckage. According to a Hartzell Propeller report, both propellers were operating symmetrically at blade angles in the governed range during the impact sequence. No preimpact failures or system/component malfunctions were found. A review of past reconnaissance flights over this same route disclosed that the flight's position reports and computed ground speed was consistent with all past flights.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The WaferThin™ weight reduction program consists of 3 separate components, which you synergistically combine to help you achieve and then maintain your desired weight level.
Developed by J.J. Meier over the course of the last several years, you'll find the program both easy to use – and very effective. It is not a typical 'deprivation' diet.
1. WaferThin™ wafers, to help curb your appetite:
1. WaferThin™ wafers, to help curb your appetite:
The systems first component is a sweet (but sugar-free) chewable wafer – the WaferThin™ wafers themselves. You eat the tasty candy-like wafers with water, before meals.
The wafers consist of a number of different fibers (including oak, apple and other natural fibers) that help to absorb and trap fat from your food – so the fat can be expelled from your body.*
More important though is the glucomanin fiber. When hydrated with water, the glucomanin fiber expands in the stomach, making you feel fuller faster – and so really helps curb your appetite in a natural way. Studies involving glucomanin show that it can also aid in cholesterol reduction, stabilize blood sugar levels and help clean the colon.*
2. Thinnergize™ capsules, to boost your metabolism:
Taken twice daily, the Thinnergize™ capsules are designed to increase your metabolism and help you burn off calories.
|They use a thermogenic effect which increase your body temperature slightly and boost your metabolic rate. This also can give you an energy boost (without caffeine).*
The Thinnergize™ capsules also contain a green tea leaf extract and the well-known herbal supplement hoodia gordonii, which can help weight reduction by curbing your appetite.*
3. Chews to Lose™ gum, to suppress your cravings:
A common problem experienced by dieters is food cravings.
A common problem experienced by dieters is food cravings.
|With most diets, what often happens after 2 or 3 weeks is an almost irresistible craving for sweet and sugary foods. You then tell yourself you'll have just one of those chocolate chip cookies – and that leads to a second cookie, and then a third. And before you know it, you've gobbled down eight cookies and have a major sugar hangover and several pounds of guilt – and you abandon your diet.
Well the final part of the WaferThin™ weight reduction program - the Chews to Lose™ gum – is especially designed to solve the "cravings" problem.
Chews to Lose™ gum contains the herb gymnema. You chew the gum for just 90 seconds, during which time the gymnema coats and then blocks your tongue's sugar receptors.*
The result? Any sweet food you try to eat after chewing the Chews to Lose™ gum will taste very bitter and you won't want to eat it. Your craving is gone.
But you don't have to abandon sweets completely. What you can do is allow yourself a bite or two of that ice cream or dessert – or a couple of sips of your favorite soda - and then chew the gum. Your craving disappears, but you aren't deprived of those 'goodies'. Some people have found it even works with cheeseburgers!
|PRICING: The complete WaferThin System is just $89.95 (or just $79.95/month if you order it on the monthly Order Assurance Program, where you receive the products every month automatically and can cancel at any time). You can also purchase the 3 components of the WaferThin System individually. Just click on the Buy Button for more pricing information.
The Bottom Line:
What a great way to lose weight.
The WaferThin™ weight reduction program is a very easy to use weight loss system, which you'll find very easy to stick to as the pounds fall away.
The system is very flexible. For example:
- If you are already on another weight loss program, you can integrate the WaferThin™ system with the other program. It will help ensure that you don't reach a 'plateau' in that program, get discouraged and then quit it.
- After you have achieved your target weight, you can use the WaferThin™ weight reduction program to maintain your ideal weight (for instance, by eating the wafers before dinner to curb your appetite).
- The system can help you kill those 'fast food' cravings.
- If you do on occasion break down and binge on your favorite fattening foods (and who doesn't?), you can use the program too quickly get you back on track and shed any excess pounds.*

text: On April 15, 2009, at 1400 central daylight time, an experimental light-sport T Bird II, N154ZX, collided with a person while taking off from a farm field in Carlock, Illinois. The pilot, who did not hold a pilot certificate, was not injured. The person on the ground received serious injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The flight was being operated under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The local flight was originating at the time of the accident.The pilot reported to local authorities that a cameraman was in the field to film him taking off directly over the cameraman. He stated he was not able to gain enough altitude and the right main gear contacted the cameraman during the takeoff. He stated he was traveling approximately 40 miles per hour when the airplane contacted the cameraman. A witness reported the cameraman was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed when the accident occurred. The witness stated the right main gear contacted the camera, pushing it back into the cameraman's face, and knocking the cameraman to the ground. He stated the cameraman was unconscious after the impact. The cameraman does not recall the impact. He reported that he was going to film the airplane taking off and the next thing he recalls is waking up in the ambulance. According to a relative of the cameraman, he required spinal surgery as a result of his injuries and is currently experiencing paralysis of the arms and legs. The camera being used was examined. The camera did not contain a recording of the accident sequence.The pilot purchased the airplane approximately 2 months prior to the accident. The pilot's logbook showed 2 entries for a total of 3.3 hours of dual flight time in another make and model airplane. The pilot told the flight instructor that he purchased the airplane and the instructor reported that he told the pilot he needed a pilot certificate in order to fly it.

The number of government data breaches involving personal identifiable information has more than doubled since 2009, and the Government Accountability Office wants federal agencies to adhere more closely to existing security protocols to better protect people's data.
An April 2 GAO report found that the number of data breaches involving information such as taxpayer data, census data, Social Security information and patient health information have increased from 10,481 in 2009 to 25,566 in 2013, as reported to U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team.
GAO found that many agencies have struggled to address the eight required components of an information security program, specifically in implementing security controls.
"The loss or unauthorized disclosure or alteration of the information residing on federal systems, which can include PII, can lead to serious consequences and substantial harm to individuals and the nation," the report reads. "Thus it is critical that federal agencies protect their systems and the information on them and respond to data breaches and cyber incidents when they occur."
Of the seven agencies evaluated, the Internal Revenue Service was the only one to consistently document both an assigned risk level and how that level was determined for PII-related data breach incidents. Only the Army and IRS documented the number of affected people for each incident.
None of the seven agencies consistently offered credit monitoring to those affected by the incidents, nor did they document lessons learned from their responses to the breach.
The report details key guidelines for agencies to follow from the Office of Management and Budget and the National Institute of Standards and Technology to improve their information security posture.
Among these guidelines are management practices, which include establishing a data breach response team and training employees on roles and responsibilities for breach response. There are also operational practices, such as preparing reports on suspected data breaches and submitting them to appropriate internal and external entities, assessing the likely risk of harm and level of impact of a suspected breach, offering assistance to affected individuals and analyzing the agency's breach response and identifying lessons learned.
Besides the Army and IRS, the other agencies GAO examined were the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

From the June 9 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:

Fox News Sunday selected Victoria Toensing and Joseph diGenova, attorneys who represented witnesses at a Republican-led hearing on the attacks at a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, for its "power players of the week," an unfortunate choice given that both individuals misled Fox News and its viewers about allegations of threats and intimidation against their clients and about efforts by the administration to prevent their clients from testifying.
Though Fox News Sunday aired certain aspects of Toensing and diGenova's biographies, the segment neglected to mention that the two have a history of poor professional conduct, including criticism from a Democratic congressman for inappropriate behavior and actions while they worked as congressional investigators due to their constant media appearances attacking President Clinton. They were also accused of having a conflict of interest for representing a Republican committee chairman under Justice Department investigation while simultaneously serving as special counsel to the committee in a separate investigation. More recently, Toensing pushed the false claim that outed CIA agent Valerie Plame had not been covert, in addition to other falsehoods.
On April 29, Fox's Special Report aired video of Toensing claiming that people who wanted to testify on Benghazi "have been threatened," which Fox & Friends aired the following morning. Toensing was also cited by Special Report on April 29 in reporting the allegations that "the Obama administration is trying to intimidate potential whistleblowers into silence" and that possible witnesses were having their careers threatened. And a May 6 FoxNews.com article by Fox Washington correspondents James Rosen and Chad Pergram sourced a claim that a witness named Mark Thompson "has been subjected to threats and intimidation by as-yet-unnamed superiors at State, in advance of his cooperation with Congress" to diGenova, who was representing Thompson.
But testimony by the witnesses at a GOP-led hearing on May 8 and subsequent interviews of their attorneys on Fox News revealed that Toensing and diGenova misled the network by claiming that their clients had suffered threats, intimidation, and orders to keep quiet. When asked on Fox's Your World on May 9 about claims that Thompson had been threatened, diGenova replied that Thompson "actually hasn't said that," and explained that his client "didn't feel intimidated."
Gregory Hicks, another witness at the hearing -- represented by Toensing -- explained under questioning that he had not been told not to speak to congressional investigators, only that he was required to have a State Department attorney present while doing so. Hicks also explained that, in contrast to claims that the administration tried to silence him, he was interviewed twice by the State Department's independent Accountability Review Board that was created to investigate the Benghazi attacks. Hicks' testimony further contradicted Toensing's April 29 claim to Special Report that careers were being threatened when he explained that "the overriding factor" in his determination to not return to his post in Libya was to remain with his family in the United States.

Broadcast and cable Sunday political talk shows featured previously debunked myths about the September 11, 2012 attacks on diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
William Kristol wants to go to war in Syria, but he won't say what that war should look like. Appearing on Fox News Sunday to discuss reports of chemical weapons attacks in Syria, the Weekly Standard editor (and noted Iraq war hawk) attacked President Obama as "totally irresponsible" for indicating that he doesn't want "to start another war," saying: "You've got to do what you've got to do."
When host Chris Wallace pointed out to him that there are "no good choices" for intervening in the Syrian conflict and asked, "so what do you do?," Kristol brushed it off without indicating how he thought the president should respond: "You do what you think is best. You're commander in chief, you've got an awful lot of options."
Kristol's call for (non-specific) military action got a boost from Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume, who observed: "There's something to be said for doing something. That if they cross a line, you've got to do something. Now whatever it is may not directly affect the chemical weapons use, but if it directly affects and harms the regime's prospects in the war, that would at least be a consequence."
According to Hume, doing "something" (whatever that is) wouldn't be as difficult as people suspect. "This isn't Mission: Impossible."

Zeb Colter, an anti-immigrant character from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) that has recently drawn the ire of right-wing pundits like Glenn Beck, would be right at home in the conservative media. Many of Colter's bigoted and flawed arguments have been the right's stock-in-trade for years.
Beck targeted the Colter character on his radio show, arguing that Colter is "demonizing the Tea Party." Beck also accused the WWE of "mocking me for standing up for the Constitution." Beck's co-host Stu Burguiere complained: "It seems that the villain, the guy you're supposed to hate, is this stereotype of a conservative that I've never met."
Colter currently appears on WWE programming alongside wrestler Jack Swagger, spouting a lot of heated anti-immigrant rhetoric in the middle of a scripted feud with Mexican-born wrestler Alberto Del Rio. According to WWE, Colter's rhetoric is intended to "to build the Mexican American character Del Rio into a hero given WWE's large Latino base."
WWE explains that in order "to create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines."
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace allowed Bill Kristol to attack the nomination of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary without disclosing that Kristol is currently waging a full-scale campaign to oppose the nominee. Wallace further failed to challenge Kristol on his previous support of Hagel until he publicly supported a withdrawal from the Iraq War.
Fox News contributor Bill Kristol has been leading a relentless attack campaign against former Republican senator Chuck Hagel, President Obama's nominee for defense secretary. During television appearances and on his site The Weekly Standard, Kristol is actively encouraging the Senate to block Hagel's nomination. The Emergency Committee for Israel, a political advocacy group Kristol founded, has even launched an anti-Hagel website complete with attack ads.
Yet on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Kristol to opine on Hagel's nomination without any mention of his advocacy to prevent Hagel from becoming defense secretary. After saying Hagel is a "controversial pick for defense secretary," Wallace directed Kristol: "Your comments on Hagel?" Kristol replied, "I don't think Chuck Hagel is the right man to be secretary of defense. We'll see if the United [States] Senate agrees with that." Kristol opposes the nomination on the false grounds that Hagel is hostile to Israel and sympathetic to Iran.
Kristol even interjected Hagel attacks into unrelated conversations.
A Media Matters analysis finds that news coverage of climate change on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX remained low in 2012 despite record temperatures and a series of extreme weather events in the U.S. When the Sunday shows did discuss climate change, scientists were shut out of the debate while Republican politicians were given a platform to question the science.

Fox's Chris Wallace falsely claimed that President Obama has proposed a plan where Congress would give up its power to control the debt limit. In fact, under the proposal Congress would still have a role in authorizing debt ceiling increases, while making it more difficult for legislators to cause economically harmful and potentially disastrous crises by holding up necessary increases in borrowing authority.
Wallace claimed on Fox News Sunday that the White House is proposing "in effect that Congress gives up its power over the debt limit." He also said to House Speaker John Boehner that Obama and Democrats "want you, Congress, to give up any powers over voting an increase in the debt limit forever."
In reality, according to reporting from The Washington Post's Ezra Klein, the administration's proposal maintains a role for Congress in approving debt limit increases. The proposal would subject attempts by the president to raise the debt limit to a congressional vote. The president can veto a resolution denying the increase in borrowing authority, and Congress can still prevent the ceiling from rising by overriding the veto.
According to Klein, the proposal "could do more to protect our economy than anything else in the debt deal." That's because a fight over the debt limit, like the one that occurred in the summer of 2011, can have negative economic consequences even if the issue is resolved before the administration loses the ability to finance government spending.
The Bipartisan Policy Center estimated that that episode cost taxpayers nearly $19 billion in additional interest costs. If Congress doesn't allow the debt limit to rise, and the U.S. was unable to pay the interest on its debt, "financial markets would unravel and the U.S. and global economy would enter another severe recession," in the words of economist Mark Zandi.
From the November 25 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
Loading the player reg...
Wall Street Journal editorial board member Kimberley Strassel claimed that President Obama has "moved the goalposts" by calling for ending the Bush tax cuts for the top two percent of taxpayers -- despite the fact that Obama has advocated for that policy in both his 2012 and 2008 presidential campaigns.
On the November 18 edition of Fox News Sunday, Strassel criticized Obama for supposedly insisting that tax rates on upper-income taxpayers must rise to the level they were during the Clinton administration as part of a deficit reduction plan, stating, "The president has now moved the goalposts and said, 'Well, it isn't just revenue, it has to be a specific kind.' " When host Chris Wallace pointed out that Obama "did mention this once or twice during the campaign," Strassel responded, "Yeah, he did, except for the question is, are you going to stick on what you campaigned on, or are you going to find a compromise in the end?"
As Wallace correctly noted, Obama regularly advocated ending the Bush tax cuts for wealthier taxpayers during the campaign, which contradicts Strassel's assertion that Obama "moved the goalposts." A July 9 USA Today article, for instance, reported that "In a White House ceremony, Obama said lower tax rates should end for Americans making more than $250,000 a year." Obama is continuing to advocate the same position: Politico reported on November 17 that Obama "repeated his call Saturday for Congress to extend the Bush-era middle-class tax cut without delay" and urged Congress not to "hold the middle class hostage while Congress debates tax cuts for the wealthy."
Obama, in fact, has been advocating the end of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy long before the 2012 campaign:
Further, contrary to Strassel's suggestion that Obama's continued advocacy for ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy precludes him from reaching "a compromise in the end," Obama has said he's "open to new ideas" if another solution achieves his goals. The Associated Press reported on November 14: "Asked if he viewed it as a deal-breaker if Republicans refused to allow the top tax rate to revert to 39 percent from the current 36 percent, [Obama] said, 'I just want to emphasize I am open to new ideas if the Republican counterparts or some Democrats have a great idea for us to raise revenue, maintain progressivity, make sure the middle class isn't getting hit, reduces our deficit.'"

The band is uniquely made up of two sibling duos; the Cryar sisters, and the Jones brothers.

Their showmanship generates a roller coaster of sight, sound, and emotion and their inherent chemistry continues to set them apart.

Callie Cryar — @CallieCryar
Birthday: September 22nd, 1990 / Favorite book: The Bible by God, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, and The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton / Favorite movie: The Fall, The Village, and Forest Gump / Favorite food: Sushi / Hidden Talent: I don't have one, but if I could choose I would be a devoted jazz dancer, a fencer like Inigo Montoya (see favorite books above), or a bow-hunter. / Pet peeves: Shaving my legs, shopping, and watching football. Having to do all three at the same time would be hell. / My best feature: Having green eyes / My worst feature: Being unable to get tan / Favorite sight: An opening band that's so tuff it demolishes the headlining band. / Hobbies: I like climbing on rock walls (my hands are very impressively calloused), making my own fruit and vegetable juice blends with my Champion (that's a brand of juicer and it could not have been named more appropriately because anytime you drink its nectar you feel like you could completely annihilate hobby number one), collecting stickers to decorate my '96 Toyota Corolla (trust me, he's ugly: he needs it), and reading (see favorite books above).
I have a knack for getting out of speeding tickets: 8 times and counting. I come from a very big, very weird family and I adore them. I also adore my career path. I was home-schooled (see favorite books above) and didn't go to college so I'm pretty lousy at being cool and at summing myself up in 300 words or less. Got married to Reed in April 2013.
Phoebe Cryar – @PhoebeCryarD
¡Hola! Me llamo Phoebe.
I'm going to talk about myself for a little, hope you don't mind.
I was born July 5th, 1992 and I always thought the fireworks were for me. Silly. I always wanted to play bass guitar. But I never got into that. I started on piano and then guitar and when I got sick of those, I stole Callie's uke for a bit. So on and so forth. I don't talk a whole lot. But if I have something to say, I'll say it. I crave real, purposeful conversations with real, purposeful people. Before I was really into music, I thought I was going to be a photographer. Playing music is what God made me for, I soon discovered. I'd much rather be too warm than too cold. When I was born, I was cross-eyed. No kidding. And I've had glasses since I was two. I love looking at pictures of people when they were little kids. Chocolate doesn't really do it for me. I know, it's blasphemy. I'm a girl, I'm supposed to love chocolate. I love my family, pasta and the band Arcade Fire. I'm so grateful my job allows me to travel. Still haven't been out of the US though. One of these days! I got married to the love of my life Danny Deffenbaugh in May of 2013. God's blessed me way too much and I absolutely can't wait to see what He's got up His sleeve for tomorrow. Thank you for being part of the big picture. God bless you.

It's estimated that about a half million people nationwide are victims of identity theft. With this crime steadily on the rise, authorities are warning consumers to beware.
Detective Darrell Theall with the Meridian Police Department says initially at least, identity theft is rather easy. Often he says it happens when people make purchases from stores or give out personal information over the telephone.
"Using a debit card or credit card, someone can write down the credit card number and use it. Someone around here has even burglarized a home before and used a return check to get the account number," says Detective Theall.
And that's not all. Earlier this year, one person working with a local business was indicted on 17 counts of identity theft from customers. Over the years there have also been reports of people trying to make big purchases such as buying a car using someone else's name and other personal information. We're also told that a woman with ties to Meridian is still battling to correct her credit report after someone charged more than $20,000 worth of merchandise using her I.D.
Because this type of fraud often leaves a paper trail, police say many of the violators are caught. However, they say it can take months or sometimes years to clear up the mix up and therefore offer this advice to help ensure that you do not become a victim.
"If you see something wrong with your bank account," says Det. Theall "I would contact the bank first or the police and we'll walk you through the steps."
