Don't care it's only one year.
Don't care it's less than Phily.
It's an awful signing and we potentially just lost an up-and-comer due to Holland's loyalty.
By no means am I comparing the 2 men, but many think Brian Burke has some screws loose...Just sayin.
You could throw an octopus at him.
That would be 1 helluva throw - considering Crymson lives in Colorado.

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Wando basketball was honored by the S.C. State House of Representatives Wednesday in Columbia with a resolution celebrating its 2014 championship season.
The Class AAAA state champions were presented with a framed version of the bill on the floor of the State House. Later in the afternoon, former South Carolina Gamecocks defensive lineman and future NFL top pick Jadeveon Clowney joined the Warriors for lunch to congratulate them on their season.
Bill H.5006 states,
A House resolution to recognize and honor the Wando High School boys varsity basketball team, coaches and school officials for an outstanding season and to congratulate them for winning the 2014 Class AAAA state championship title.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Wando High School boys varsity basketball team of Charleston County took top honors at the state competition at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Friday, March 7, 2014; and
Whereas, young and optimistic, Head Coach David Eaton motivated his Warriors at the beginning of the season to overcome their lack of preseason ranking, and he inspired them with a goal that Wando High basketball team had never accomplished: winning a state championship; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans, the Wando Warriors defeated the Hillcrest High School Rams 65-50 to carry home the first boys basketball state championship title in the schools history; and
Whereas, the Hillcrest Rams controlled the lead until three minutes into the second quarter, pressing the Warriors into 12 turnovers in the first half, when all-state sophomore Jamez Rogers swished a three-pointer for Wando to give the Warriors their first lead since the first bucket of the game; and
Whereas, Rogerss shot triggered a shift in momentum to the Warriors, which he quickly capitalized on by posting the next seven points to ensure that they would not trail again the rest of the game; and
Whereas, the Rams responded by issuing eight unanswered points with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, reducing the Wando lead to 10 points, but the Warriors fiercely fired back when forward Taylor Majewski scored five straight points; and
Whereas, when time expired, the Wando Warriors stood victorious, hoisted the championship trophy, and proudly sported their state medals; and
Whereas, although Jamez Rogers led the Warriors in scoring with 25 points; double digits also were posted by point guard Amp Moore with 13 points and Andrew Glover with 11; and Taylor Majewski contributed 7 points and 8 rebounds, and center Matt Pegram finished with 9 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Whereas, in a sport that demands strength, agility and accuracy, Coach David Eaton and his skilled coaching staff drew on their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off court; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the Wando High School basketball players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Wando High School boys varsity basketball team, coaches and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2014 Class AAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Lucy Beckham and Coach David Eaton.

Drs. Jeff and Susie Hirsch of Cedaredge, Colo., have a busy veterinary practice, four children and a peaceful, hilltop home with a wonderful view of the valley, the Grand Mesa, — not to mention a herd of yaks.
Why choose such an exotic breed to raise on their 30 acres, as well as on the additional 30 that border the Surface Creek Veterinary Center they own?
Susie explained without hesitation, "They eat less than cattle. All the fat is external, so it can be easily trimmed. Plus, the meat is high in Omega 3 fatty acid, and it has a good flavor."
Drivers who pass by the veterinary clinic — located at 17800 Hanson Road (off Surface Creek) — often slow down as they stare at the yaks. With their long, shaggy fur, impressive horns and humps (similar to those on buffalo), these animals are certainly unusual. "The fur is actually very soft and fine," Susie said. "You brush it instead of shearing it to get the fibers."
Those fibers have a very small diameter, which is measured in microns, making it valuable to weavers. The "guard hairs" — those that fall from the belly downward — are long and coarse, and "are useful for trapping heat and holding it against the body."
Yaks originated in the Himalayas, in Asia, where they were used as pack animals. The couple found theirs in northern Idaho, where "they'd been bred by a man named Phil Wykle, who imported his own, original herd from Canada."
Extremely sure-footed, with deep lung capacity, yaks have been known to climb to elevations as high as 20,000 feet to forage on lichens, twigs, leaves and dried grasses.
Additionally, they will eat snow and ice where water is scarce.
What's most unusual about yaks, however, is their gregariousness.
Even with a stranger present, the members of the Hirsch's herd began spontaneously bucking, running and spinning in the pasture as their hay was being spread, playfully flipping thick, bushy tails over their backs.
"Even our bull is gentle," Susie pointed out, adding, "of course, it depends on how you raise them."
Another, somewhat surprising fact about yaks is their extremely low birth weight. Newborn calves barely top 30 pounds, so "we've never had to pull one."
They grow quickly, however.
Adult females will reach 700 to 800 pounds at maturity, and the bulls, 1,200.
A native of Grand Junction, Colo., Susie always wanted to be a veterinarian. She met Jeff, who is originally from Arizona, while both were students at Colorado State University.
After graduating, the pair returned to the southwest, where they bought the practice of a vet who was retiring. That business, located in Phoenix, lasted for 12 years.
Unfortunately, "we were kicked out by the laws of Imminent Domain," she explains. "The city was building a light rail system, which went right through our property, so we had to sell that, as well as the home we had built."
The couple was given fair market value for the real estate, only, and nothing for the actual business — which by then had accumulated "a great clientele."
Disillusioned by the way they'd been treated, the couple and their three daughters, Winnie (now 10), Tori (8), and Alexandra (7) returned to Colorado, where they've been living now for the past five years.
"It turned out to have a good outcome," Susie smiled. "This is a great place to raise kids. It's a different world than Phoenix, and we like the small town atmosphere."
As for the difference in temperature and elevation, that's no problem, because, "our entire family loves snow, and everyone skis."
There's a family atmosphere at the Surface Creek Veterinary Center, as well. Because Susie was pregnant while the plans were being drawn, Gus, the youngest, has a crib and some toys in a little room by the office. Now 3, he continues to accompany his parents to work.
Susie said, "We pick our daughters up after school. They come here and clean cages, stamp envelopes, and do other odd jobs."
As a result, "All are extremely well socialized."
The children are responsible for chores at home, as well, and there are plenty when you consider that besides the yaks — which are limited to a herd of "around 10" — this family keeps a few head of cattle, some chickens and alpacas, a bunch of cats, a pet rabbit, and one exceptionally friendly Great Pyrenees dog.
Although the dog primarily stays in the pasture with the yaks, he isn't needed to protect them.
"I don't worry about predators," Susie admits. "The yaks will get and aggressive if they think they're being threatened."
One day, she noticed a coyote was sitting outside of the fence, but it didn't linger for long.
"The bull false-charged and it took off."
They haven't seen a coyote since.
But because the yaks are so good-natured around people, "one of our daughters wants to bottle-raise one, and eventually ride it like a horse."
She looked skyward for a moment, and then shrugged.
"We'll see." ❖

Career Options
What can I do with an English major?
The real question is what can't you do? After all, English majors are the hot new hires.
Completing a degree in English will hone your abilities to think critically, to write effectively, and to evaluate and synthesize information. These skills are highly prized in a wide variety of fields, so much so that some businesses and medical schools specifically seek majors in humanities fields like English (see, for example, these articles from Business Week, the New York Times, and Newsweek). In fact, a recent survey of corporate leaders conducted by the Westminster College Gore School of Business identified writing and other communication skills as the number one ability they sought in applicants, followed closely by critical thinking.
The following resources provide additional information on the careers you can pursue with an English major:

Many of us will never live to see a true miracle. Dr. Oz apparently found six this year alone!
Dr. Oz had another banner year on his talk show as he brought the latest and greatest health news to our living rooms each afternoon. The only rub is that some of us are questioning the good doctor and what he's calling healthy advice these days. It seems Dr. Oz may have become more of a talk show host than a well-intentioned physician. This year, especially, the show constantly doled out miracle diet advice. While weight loss is at the top of our health concerns, it seemed the doctor derailed from prescribing trustworthy weight loss guidance to endorsements for every fad that would ultimately yield no life change, just money spent and potential side-effects.
These are the miracle diet cures (his words, not ours) that Dr. Oz unleashed on us this year. It might be more accurate to call them scams.
Raspberry Ketones
These little supplements were touted as a revolutionary metabolism booster and the compounds, typically used as food flavorings, have been purposed for weight loss supplements in Japan. Dr. Oz endorsed raspberry ketones as an effective weight loss tool as well. The theory behind the ketones is that that they alter lipid metabolism, claims found from a study in mice. The mouse with the high fat diet and the supplement gained less body fat than expected. Raspberry ketones have not yet been tested on humans. (more…)

Roger Strong
Roger grew up in Denver, Colorado scrambling up peaks and skiing with his family. After high school, he pursued commercial fishing to allow time to follow his passions in the mountains. As the Captain of a crab-fishing vessel in the Bering Sea, Alaska has allowed him to Rock and Ice climb 6-8 months a year. Roger lives in Seattle, Washington and is one of the leading activists in modern mixed climbing in the Pacific Northwest. His first ascent of Guru, Washington's first M9, a couple of years ago and most recently, Ghost Dog, that state's first M11, has inspired new attitudes towards the Northwest's fickle winter season. Roger has climbed in Spain, Mexico, Canada, Alaska and all over the Western United States and red-pointed the Cineplex test pieces, Rocky Mountain Horror Show (M11+) and Musashi (M12), In Alberta, Canada.
He has established Big Wall test pieces in Yosemite and Washington, and loves being on anything vertical for long periods of time. Along with Rob Owens and Sean Isaac, the support of the Arcteryx Evolution-in-Action Grant and Mugs Stump Award, they established a difficult new route up the North Face of Kichatna Spire, calling it The Voice of Unreason. Roger attributes any success he has in the mountains to the basis he has gained from the rigors of crab fishing and his close relationships with climbing partners, including his wife and many friends. Roger also confides that more important than the difficulties or ratings that attracts his pursuits, is the freedom and experience you have while getting there, believing there is no such thing as failure.

Ali Salah pointed to the bullet holes in his deli where two gunmen fired 16 rounds into the store three weeks ago after a suspected drug dealer ducked inside to get away from his attackers.
"The bullets came through the Plexiglas door and hit displays of food, soda, with some of the bullets ricocheting and knocking out ceiling lights," said Salah, who has run the deli at French and Kehr streets for nearly two decades.
It's just one of the stories of violence that have played out in an East Side neighborhood north of Martin Luther King Park, where 10 homicides have occurred in the past year.
It's a neighborhood where residents routinely hear the gunshots, see the drug deals and listen to the sirens.
Local and federal law enforcement tried to make a dent in the violence-prone area Tuesday morning. In predawn darkness, more than 150 officers, with a helicopter hovering overhead, swooped in and busted several drug houses, arresting 10 people, seizing cocaine, and confiscating five handguns, a shotgun and two AK-47 assault rifles.
"We actually need this. There's times when I sit on my porch and can hear gunshots behind me on Box Avenue and in front of me on Urban Street," said Clyde Rathbun, who has lived in the same house on French for the past 50 years.
Rathbun hears the gunshots all around him some nights and does his best to keep his 15-year-old daughter inside as much as possible.
"You could pretty much say you're a prisoner in your own home," Rathbun said.
That's the way people live in this neighborhood, roughly defined by Northland Avenue to the north, Fillmore Avenue to the west, Colorado Street to the east and Genesee Street to the south.
Dale M. Kasprzyk, head agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration's Buffalo office, pointed out a day care center in the middle of the block on French, to make the point that drug dealers do not care where they do business, even if it means putting the lives of children at risk.
"There have been at least 10 homicides, multiple shootings that have wounded people and shots fired in this area of the city in the last 12 months, and when we noticed the day care facility, it certainly gave us more focus in moving the investigation along," Kasprzyk said.
"I'm glad the dealers are gone," said Errol Weathers Sr., who was visiting his girlfriend on Box Avenue. "The neighborhood has really been corrupted by them. They don't care about nobody. They'll sell the drugs to kids."
Two of the three men arrested on federal warrants live outside the area where they were supplying the drug houses, authorities said.
Mashi Phillips, 38, and Rayshawn Minter, 35, reside in the Bailey-Kensington neighborhood, a couple of miles away. They face federal charges of distribution of controlled substances that included powdered cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana. According to U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr., they could spend a minimum of 20 years in prison, if convicted.
Pounding home the theme of collaboration among the DEA, FBI and local police agencies during an afternoon news conference, Hochul said, "This sends another loud and clear message that we are joined at the hip with our law enforcement partners and will not stop."
The dealers, though, are formidable adversaries.
As SWAT team members were bursting into Minter's second-floor apartment on the 400 block of Stockbridge Avenue, he was spotted smashing a back window with a handgun and only dropped the .45-caliber Colt to the ground after repeatedly being ordered to give it up by police outside.
Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda promised to keep up the pressure on drug dealers.
"This is only one of many more joint efforts to come," Derenda said, noting that since 2010, work with federal agents has increased dramatically and "will not only continue but intensify. We're using every tool in the box to make Buffalo and neighborhoods like this safer."
Another alleged dealer who worked the East Side neighborhood, selling crack cocaine from his girlfriend's Winslow Avenue home but living elsewhere, was identified as Isaiah Washington, 27, of Cambridge Avenue. He also was arrested on federal drug distribution charges.
Authorities identified only one of the seven people arrested on state drug charges.
At the news conference in Buffalo Police Headquarters, an enlarged interior photograph of Kevin Baldon's Winslow Avenue bedroom was on display to show just how prepared he was for intruders.
"He could walk with his hands up in the air toward the doorway and then grab his AK-47 because it was mounted in such a way above the bedroom door," Kasprzyk said. "The gun was loaded with 29 rounds."
But on Tuesday morning, Baldon, 36, of the 400 block of Winslow, surrendered without a fight. Police confiscated a half ounce of crack cocaine and a scale from his residence.
Back on French, as daylight replaced the predawn activity, resident Andre Marrow was out walking his dog and offered an explanation as to why drug dealing is rampant.
"Not everyone takes the school route, and there aren't enough manufacturing jobs," he said. "Anytime you see a drug dealer, especially in this neighborhood, it's because there are no jobs. It's about choices. Dealers can make $1,500 in a day."
Street dealers, he added, are taking advantage of a strong demand for illegal drugs, but he added that people with much greater resources actually bring the drugs into the United States.
To be sure, the streets where the raids occurred are poor. The median household income is less than $18,000 a year, and an estimated 38 percent of the people live in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Nearly 15 percent of those 16 and older are unemployed.
Homeowners occupy more than 38 percent of the housing stock in the area, but nearly a quarter of the houses are vacant.
Joyce Bolden, who has lived on the 100 block of French Street for two decades, was less concerned about the bigger picture and more concerned about her grandchildren.
"The police were everywhere this morning. I said, 'Oh my God. What's going on?' I'm glad they were here, but I was nervous about my grandchildren going outside to catch the school bus," Bolden said.
She added that neighbors all watch out for each other and are well aware that drug suppliers causing problems on their streets often live outside the neighborhood.
"It's people from different neighborhoods coming here. Never have I seen this kind of violence," Bolden said, specifically mentioning the shooting at the corner deli a few weeks ago. "They shot up the store. It was unbelievable."
In addition to the DEA and Buffalo narcotics investigators, members of the FBI's Safe Streets Task Force assisted in the six-month investigation, which involved surveillance, cellphone wiretaps and undercover purchases of drugs.
SWAT teams from Buffalo, the Erie County Sheriff's Office, Amherst, the Town of Tonawanda and FBI conducted the raids at 10 different houses.

President is acting like immature 12-year-old

You don't lose services when you cut WASTE (Obama family weekly golf day & monthly vacation week, $60/gallon green fuel) & FRAUD (Solyndra, Porkulus, insider trading by Congress) out of your budget.
When I discovered that I was being overcharged for something, I just stopped overpaying. No services were cut. If politicians don't do similarly when they KNOW our money is being wasted or stolen, how is that not criminal? If a bank teller, entrusted with other people's money, takes that money for her own personal use or gives it to her friends, she goes to jail when her misuse of others' money is discovered. POTUS and Congress? I dunno.....

Now as far as politics. Closing whitehouse tours was the presidents plan at blaming the republicans for not allowing tourist to vist. Then the public would be angry with the republicans,it didn't work. The tours only cost 1 million a year and in the same week he ok'd 250 million to Egypt.

Hey con my brothers best friend is a air traffic controller. He was saying there wasn't going to be any delays. They did a work slow down to create a mess in order to get fellow controllers back to work. Also to blame congress is basically whining in order for the president not to get any accountability for the cuts. He had his hands in there also.
6 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The writer is just whining. Congress imposed the cuts. The President implemented them. It took a special Congressional Order and new spending law to get the air controllers back to work. This was done because the Congressmen wanted to fly home without any delays.
Meanwhile, Meals on Wheels, serving sick and powerless seniors, has been curtailed. Also, Head Start programs, serving the young and powerless, are holding lotteries to see which children are still eligible.

Excellent comments by Mr. Byrne, IMO. Funny how the "across the board" cuts didn't affect Obama's vacation/golf fund. Research shows he spent more time golfing than working on the economy. He is indeed an immature demagogue who can't stand it when he doesn't get his way, & he punishes his enemies the Chicago way--harassment & defamation. That means he probably would fail a test for mental stability that he would impose on gun purchasers if he could.

"If the Republicans will not let him raise taxes"
Call it what you like, but if reforming the tax code by eliminating loopholes is raising taxes, then obviously the Repubs are not interested in tax reform but rather revenue reductions for special interests.
When the sequester calls for spending cuts to salaries, who do you think is going to be affected, robots? Only a few in Congress have taken voluntary cuts in pay and so has Obama. Where's the rest of the elitists who have not offered to take a cut in salary, yet ask that others take them and then whine because they have to wait a bit longer at the airports they use every week to fly home. Seems they fixed that real quick just a few days ago since they felt the salary cuts to the FAA.
So tell us oh mature one, how should salary cuts be implemented without furloughing those who earn a salary?

The Auburn University CHAMPS/Life Skills Program is committed to supporting the academic progress of student-athletes toward intellectual development and graduation. The program seeks to develop strategies for academic success as well as an appreciation for learning within all of Auburn's student-athletes.
Each student-athlete is assigned an Academic Counselor who monitors academic performance and continuing eligibility. Counselors may assist student-athletes with registration and career planning, and they monitor use of services such as tutoring and use of study table. SASS Counselors provide direction for student-athletes regarding Auburn University, NCAA, and SEC guidelines, with the ultimate goal of empowering the student of make responsible decisions.
The SASS Tiger Tutor Program is designed to enhance student-athletes' educational experience by "helping students to help themselves." Our ultimate goal is to help our student-athletes become self-directed learners via the following strategies:
In keeping with the mission of the Auburn University Athletics Department, SASS is committed to the enhancement of academic and interpersonal skills in order to promote the development of self discipline and responsibility for all students. All freshman, transfer, and at-risk student-athletes must attend a minimum of 10 hours a week in structured study table. The study table criteria is based on cumulative GPA per student-athlete.
All student-athletes are encouraged to work with their Academic Counselors, Coaches, and SASS staff to work out study table hours, academic mentors, and tutoring.
Tiger Advantage (TA) provides weekly review sessions for students taking historically difficult courses. Graduate students, selected by their respective departments, attend class sections and lead TA group discussions that are open to all AU students.
The Tiger PAW (Promoting Academic Winners) Program was specifically designed for student-athletes who have a history of academic difficulties, either from high school or beginning in college. The program emphasizes pinpointing students' individual learning styles and educating them on using appropriate study methods. The PAW Program strives to meet each student where they are, and to provide the student with what he or she needs in order to succeed. PAW services are coordinated by a Learning Specialist, who serves as a liaison between SASS and the AU Program for Students with Disabilities.
The Student-Athlete Development Center (SADC) has a computer lab located on the lower level. Computers are all equipped with Microsoft Office applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Access, Excel, etc. Student-athletes may also browse the internet and access their Tiger Mail, OASIS, and E-bill accounts. The SADC also has study carrels and a study lounge, which are all fully wired for students who wish to bring their laptops. The SADC is also on the campus wireless network, making it convenient for students with wireless laptops. Laptops are also available for student-athletes to check out during team travel. A laptop request should be submitted at least 48 hours before the travel date.
Auburn's student-athletes are recognized for their academic achievements as well as their athletic performance. The following distinctions are awarded each year to AU's student-athletes:
Jordan Anderson became the fourth Auburn University student to be named a Rhodes Scholar in 2010. He is studying at Oxford University, pursuing a masterâ€TMs degree in global health science.
Two other swimming & diving athletes have been named Rhodes finalists in the last four years:

As Congressional Republicans promise to rein in federal spending for the fiscal year that starts October 1, President Obama is seeking expanded budgets for the NIH and four other key agencies involved in biotechnology. All but one of agencies would see double-digit increases under the president's plan, which is expected to undergo substantial revisions over the next several months.
NIH spending would see the smallest increase of about 2.4%, or $745 million, from the last budget approved for the agency. In FY 2010, NIH received $31.24 billion, while the 2012 proposals calls for almost $31.98 billion. Congress has yet to approve a budget for the current fiscal year, which ends September 30.
"The requested funding will enhance NIH's ability to support research that prolongs life, reduces disability, and strengthens the economy," said NIH director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D.
Last week House Appropriations Committee chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY) proposed eliminating $1 billion from NIH in a $74 billion package of cuts envisioned for the seven months between March 4—when a continuing resolution to keep spending at FY 2010 levels runs out—and the end of FY 2011.
Two days later a bill from the House Appropriations Committee furthered the proposed cut, going 5%, or $1.63 billion, below NIH's 2010 budget. The proposal revised an earlier flat NIH budget that was advanced by the panel before several House Republicans called for a greater reduction in spending. It also amends a plan approved in December by the lame-duck Democratic-controlled House that called for a 3.2% increase in NIH funding.
Dr. Collins says the additional funds proposed by President Obama would be used in part to fund the new National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. It is intended to accelerate translation of basic-research discoveries into new drugs and devices. The proposal did not spell out exactly how much would be spent for the translational center, expected to cost at least $100 million. Dr. Collins said that figure would be forthcoming "shortly" once details are decided for the center, which NIH hopes to open on October 1. The translational center is expected to use at least part of the $485 million now spent for the National Center for Research Resources, which would be abolished.
NIH is promising to emphasize three scientific areas deemed instrumental in leading to faster scientific advances across human health and disease. These include technologies designed to accelerate drug discovery, studies designed to assess the effectiveness of new therapies and healthcare interventions, and programs intended to support and develop young scientists.
Dr. Collins reports that the NIH budget includes $1.298 billion in "Office of the Director" funds, an increase of 10.3% percent, or $122 million. Of that total, $100 million will fund the Cures Action Network, authorized by President Obama's healthcare measure of last year to advance high-need cures, whose development NIH concludes is unlikely to occur through the commercial market.
The CDC would see an 11.6%, or roughly $370.9 million, funding increase in FY 2012 to about $11.255 billion. But that figure includes a declining share of discretionary spending, which would dip to $5.894 billion from $6.474 billion in FY 2010; the remainder consists of mandated programs.
The biggest spending increase, $560.7 million, would fund prevention and public health programs designed to improve health and help rein in healthcare costs. The second-largest spending increase at $270.36 million is additional funding for the Vaccines for Children Program.
CDC would cut costs in part by eliminating its Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant program, at a savings of $100.26 million. It also anticipates $100 million in reduced administrative costs from replacing contract workers with employees.
Also growing by double digits in Obama's budget plan:
• The National Science Foundation, which would rise to $7.77 billion, about 13% above FY 2010 spending, which was approximately $6.9 billion;
• FDA's budget, which would jump by one-third, or $1.07 billion, from $3.28 billion in FY 2010 to $4.36 billion in FY 2012. Of that total, $2.7 billion would come from Congress and the rest, from user fees. The overall increase reflects the agency's responsibility for the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, enacted late last year, and programs set to expand.
• The Office of Science, part of the U.S. Department of Energy, would see its funding grow 10.7% to about $5.4 billion.
Rogers' plan, on the other hand, would cut $755 million from CDC, $220 million from the FDA, $139 million from NSF, and $1.1 billion from the Office of Science.
"We will respond to the millions of Americans who have called on this Congress to rein in spending to help our economy grow and our businesses create jobs," Rogers comments. "We have taken a wire brush to the discretionary budget and scoured every program to find real savings that are responsible and justifiable to the American people."
Not so, counters HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius: "The budget we're releasing makes tough choices and smart, targeted investments today, so that we can have a stronger, healthier, more competitive America tomorrow."
HHS would see an overall 1.9% budget decrease to $891.6 billion from $909.7 billion in FY 2010 despite continuing growth in Medicaid and Medicare. HHS accounts for about one third of President Obama's $3.3 trillion budget for FY 2012, down 2.5% from the never-approved FY 2011 spending plan.

Cotrell Jenkins got 14 years behind bars – close to the maximum sentence – for raping a 12-year-old girl.
People on hand Thursday in Erie County Court who were hoping he would get a lighter sentence included not only his family but the mother of the victim, who for months refused to believe Jenkins, her boyfriend and the father of her unborn son at the time, had committed the crime.
Only when the mother was confronted with DNA evidence to prove Jenkins had impregnated her daughter did she stop maintaining his innocence, Assistant District Attorney Marni Bogart said. But she still "stood by her man" by insisting her daughter was a willing participant in the sexual encounter, the prosecutor said.
Jenkins, 27, claims he has no recollection of the attack two years ago and that he must have blacked out from being "jacked up on Loritabs and alcohol," Bogart said, quoting Jenkins.
"The girl went to her grandmother and godmother because she knew her mother wouldn't be supportive. The grandmother and godmother took her to Women and Children's Hospital and it was determined she was nine weeks pregnant. She suffered the trauma of an abortion, then medical complications," Bogart said, adding that at one point during the attack Jenkins covered the girl's head with a pillow.
Erie County Judge Kenneth F. Case settled on a sentence of 14 years, rather than the maximum of 17 years or minimum of 10 years. He said it was shocking to read some of the statements Jenkins had made to authorities.
"In your initial statement to police, you said 'I never did her' and, 'Well, she's fast for her age.' I don't know how to respond to that," Case said.
Defense attorney Thomas J. Eoannou urged the judge to take into consideration that Jenkins has no prior arrests, that the behavior was an "aberrational event," and that when he is eventually released from prison, he and the victim's mother plan to reunite and raise their son, who is now 2 years old.
Eoannou also pointed out that Jenkins, who is learning disabled, has been a devoted single parent to his other son, an 8-year-old with autism.
Dressed in jeans and a checked shirt, the stocky Jenkins told the judge he was remorseful. "I apologized to the young lady in the case," he said. "I'm remorseful. They say I'm not remorseful. I am remorseful."
The victim, now 14, her mother and the toddler have moved to North Carolina, said Bogart, who repeatedly sought to diminish any weight a letter written to the judge by the mother seeking leniency might carry.
"I call her a mother, but I use the word loosely. The worth of that term applied to her is not worth the paper her letter is written on," Bogart said.
The prosecutor added, "While the mother was pregnant with his baby, he turned to her daughter for sex. The mother finally accepted that he was the father when shown DNA results. She then started saying it was consensual. A child cannot consent to sex with an adult and he put a pillow over her head."
Bogart said that Jenkins had already received his share of mercy when he was allowed to plead guilty last fall to a Class B felony of first-degree rape, rather than face a trial on two A-felony charges of predatory sexual assault. If he had been convicted of those felonies, he could have been sentenced to prison for life.
Eoannou said that Jenkins regularly drove to Rochester to work at a relative's pawn shop to support his family and that he had lived with the girlfriend for about four years on Richlawn Avenue.
"Other than this obviously very serious incident, by all accounts, he was a good provider and father and had no involvement with the criminal justice system." Eoannou said.
With 13 months already served and anticipated credit for trouble-free behavior in prison, the attorney estimated that Jenkins would be released from prison in 11 years.
"It is both of their desires to reunite once Cotrell is released," Eoannou said of his client and girlfriend.
Case ordered that Jenkins be placed on supervised release for eight years after serving his sentence and that he have no contact with the victim through an order of protection that will remain in force through March 2035.

After losing 35-0 to 3A power Hanahan this past Friday night, the Bishop England football team is 0-2 for the first time since 2010. That season, the Battling Bishops also started with losses to West Ashley and Hanahan.
Bishop England hopes the similarities end there. The 2010 Bishops finished 5-6 with a first-round playoff exit.
Bishop England (0-2) managed just 147 yards of total offense – 109 rushing yards and 38 passing yards. Hanahan running back Quan Wade scored three touchdowns in the first half and rushed for 102 yards.
For the Bishops, Nick Shiver totaled 90 yards on seven carries, including a 61-yard run. Defensively, Reed Fosberry made eight solo tackles and seven assists. Younger brother Lawton Fosberry had 10 solo and one assist. Sophomore Ross Miller added seven solo and three assists. In addition to his offensive numbers, Shiver also had an interception.
In the second half, there wasn't much offense. The Hawks recovered two fumbles for touchdowns in the third quarter – of 66 and 22 yards.
Both teams failed to score in the fourth quarter. After being outscored by a combined 63-6 by 4A West Ashley and 3A Hanahan, Bishop England looks to break into the win column Friday at SCISA 3A Porter-Gaud.
Porter-Gaud was defeated by SCISA 2A Palmetto Christian in the season opener, in a game in which the Cyclones allowed 62 points. Since that game, Porter-Gaud beat a couple of region opponents 41-0 and 16-13.

A manufacturer of renewable energy equipment has found a formula to get its employees to save energy: a $6,000 annual bonus, offset with a carbon tax.
David Blittersdorf, CEO at AllEarth Renewables, said he has long tried to walk the talk as a maker of renewable energy equipment. In 2011, he proposed a car tax on his 31 employees, but some balked and helped brainstorm another solution.

I ordered the polar bear as a gift for a friend of mine on her birthday. The fur doesn't come off easily and is very soft. Heats up fast in the microwave without any damage to the bear. A delightful companion whether for a cold night in bed or when watching the TV. The polar bear is a warm cuddly and a cute gift for anyone who likes plushy toys. The product has HIGHLY RECOMMENDED written all over it!! :)
I ordered one for a colleague for Christmas....she loved it so much that she asked me to order 6 more for her to give as gifts!!! Great product.
Bought this as a gift for my sister, and it was definitely a hit. The bear is much larger and heavier than I was expecting, which was great, as it is lovely to snuggle up with. Don't heat it too long as it will get smelly, but if you follow the instructions, it should last for ages. It would be great for young kids too (not under 3's, as they could pull out the furry stuff and choke on it), but in this chilly weather, it is just was you need to hug away the shivers! Good quality product. Highly recommended.
Great present looks real cute
Cute and great product
Its BEWDIFUL! Fab present for all ages....sooooo soft and cute :)
Super cute, nice subtle hint of lavender, stays warm for ages, perfect for the winter months!! All my friends want one too so pointed them this way!
It the perfect gift for Girls of all ages. The young can hug it because it,s cute. The old can hug it because it's warm and cute.
Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is very plush and good value, good for winter. Highly recommend.
This "wheatbag" is very soft and pliable. Not as large as rectangular heat bags but because of this rather more adaptable to aches and pains in awkward places like necks and shoulders. I bought it for my wife who is suffering with a frozen shoulder and it has helped her get a little relief daily from an unfortunate injury that appears likely will take some months to heal. Therefore very good value for money and rather cute too!
Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is a good choice but you need to warm it up a couple times in order to get rid of its new smell.
I purchased three of these Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bears. My granddaughter's loved them. They are safer than a hot water bottle.
Wanted Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear last year but were out of stock. Bought 3 this time. 2 as Christmas presents and 1 for myself.
Its a cute bear with nice smelling finning.
Product just arrived today in excellent condition. The smell is calming but not overpowering and the bear is much softer than expected. Overall a brilliant product, highly reccomend!
This Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is the best heat pack ever! It has a nice lavender scent. Good for cuddling when I'm ready for bed. It was hilarious watching this polar bear turning inside my microwave.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is so fluffy! It's a substantial, very cuddly version of a hot water bottle that is not to be missed. The feel of it is very sensuous that I dare any person picking it up not to want to hug it. Add to that the warmth as it comes out of the microwave and you have a 'hot water bottle' that you can snuggle up to on the sofa whilst you're watching TV, in bed at night or any time you need to ease aches and pains or just feel comforted. The lavender scent is noticeable but is very subtle and relaxing, rather than overdone. All in all, I would say that if you need a hot water bottle or heated pad, pick this one!
Super cuddly, super cosy. What more can you want from a cuddly polar bear??
Great product, fun and does exactly what you would expect but would have been nice if it had arrived wrapped in plastic rather than loose in the box, the white fur could be very easily dirtied and the nature of the product means it can't be washed.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is a fantastic and cuddly heatable toy that is cute and very practical. I bought this for my 23 year old daughter as an extra birthday gift and she absolutely loves it. It works like a hot water bottle and she is now using it every night. I want one of them too.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is snuggly for my grandchildren.
Soft and cuddly, bit of an odd smell and the first few times I heated it it was a bit damp as warned. It now works a treat as promised after a few uses so I'm happy!
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear was a Christmas present and it is delightful.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is really good.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bears are a fabulous soft, cuddly bear that you heat in the microwave to use instead of a hot water bottle. They smell of lavender which is calming for sleep, so they make a great bedtime snuggle for kids and grown ups alike. I bought three and we all love them.
I bought the Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear for both my daughters (24 & 20yrs). They both would like a pet rabbit but I don't want the hassle. This was a perfect substitute! Beautifully soft and strokeable; it's warm to cuddle on a cold night - or day in front of the TV. Perfect!
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is incredibly soft and larger than I expected. It's also a comforting weight too. This is excellent for a winter gift.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is an adorable huggable, soft, warm polar bear to snuggle with on those chilly nights. It's at a great price too.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is an awesome little guy. It was bigger than expected which was a lovely surprise. I bought it as a present for a friend and got some great feedback from her as well. It smelt lovely, was great to hug and kept her nice and warm!
After first usage the Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear had 2 holes in it and leaked it's inner beads everywhere. This is awful.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is an excellent product. The quality is very good and it's so soft. It warms perfectly if you can bear to subject such a lovely soft toy to the inside of the microwave!
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is a really cute and snuggly gift, and then you can heat it up. This was a much loved gift.
beautiful and soft fur, really cuddly. l wish I had bought one for me too.
Very fast delivery, much bigger than I expected and very soft. Made a great Christmas present.
Got this for my niece as an xmas present.. Just hope she likes it! Can't see how she won't as it seems to be exactly what it says on the tin.
I got this for my other half for Xmas as she suffers from the cold I think I will be a great gift for her this Xmas well worth the money good build quality and smells amazing.
Absolutely superb!
The microwavable cuddly polar bear is absolutely gorgeous - cute, cuddly and soft. Add to that that it can be heated up in the microwave to keep you warm, it is a perfect gift. I can't wait to see my family's faces, especially since they have been complaining of being cold at night. I can see this sitting with them watching telly too, better than a cat, and we are all allergic to cats!
I bought this as Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear as a present for my sister in law and when it arrived I was very happy to see how lovely it was in size and how beautiful it smelt.
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is lovely, soft and cuddly - I love it!
The Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is brilliant, it's so soft and fluffy!
Very impressed with the Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear. I bought this for a friend but even though I'm in my (late) twenties I still loved having a quick cuddle before wrapping it up. I've dropped lots of heavy hints to be bought one for myself. Soft, cute and the faint lavender scent is nice.
Bought this as an xmas present for a friend's daughter. Perfect, great for giving as a present!
I bought the Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear as a Secret Santa present at work and the product is great. It has really soft fur and lovely smelling lavender - I was worried that it would be synthetic! All in all a great purchase.
My girls are going to love these as Christmas presents!
I bought this as a replacement for an old heatable plush. This product is soft and heats up to a lovely temperature, that lasts for ages. Plus it smells lovely - I would highly recommend it!
Cozy Heatable Plush Polar Bear is really handy for the kids on cold winter nights. It heats up quickly in the microwave.
This polar bear is so soft you want to cuddle up with it immediately but it's even more cuddly when its warmed up and thawing out your cold hands or snuggling under your covers getting the bed warmed up ready for you to snuggle down.

Garlic is used to season food. It's in the same plant family as onions. A head of garlic is actually a bulb that grows underground. You buy a head of garlic, which can be separated into cloves.
Garlic has a big, big taste and flavors a lot of wonderful food, including Italian, Indian, and Chinese food. Some research has shown that garlic might help keep people healthy by preventing cancer. It's unclear why this is, so more studies are being done.
A few brave souls might eat raw garlic, but usually it's cooked. Garlic can be chopped up and sauteed with meat or vegetables. It also can be added to soups and other dishes, such as spaghetti sauce. Here's a great way to try garlic: Have your mom or dad roast a few cloves in the oven. When it's cool, you can squeeze out the soft insides on a piece of bread. You can spread it like butter.
Some people love garlic. They love it so much, they have garlic festivals. You'll find garlic festivals in the United States and in Europe. If you ever go to one, you can try garlic jelly, garlic chocolate, garlic popcorn, or deep-fried garlic pickles!
