Yesterday, the Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds issued their annual report on the financial status of these entitlement programs. These annual reports have been published for decades, and are generally recognized as the most credible, unbiased, and objective assessment of the long-run financial situation facing these programs. I am going to focus on the Social Security program in this post.
Interest groups and policy analysts from across the political spectrum immediately issued press releases trying to spin the findings of the report. Here are the first two that crossed my virtual desk yesterday:
The National Academy of Social Insurance (of which I was a member for many years before finally resigning over frustration at their defense of the status quo) issued a release spinning the report in the most positive light possible: "The 2012 Trustees Report shows that Social Security is 100 percent solvent until 2033, but faces a moderate long-term shortfall. In 2011, Social Security had a surplus – revenue plus interest income in excess of outgo – of $69 billion. Reserves are projected to grow to $3.1 trillion by the end of 2020 … While the trustees' projections indicate that major changes are not needed, modest changes should be made in a timely manner and can bring Social Security into long-term balance."
In sharp contrast, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget issued a release stating: "Today, the Social Security and Medicare Trustees released their 2012 report on the financial status of Social Security and Medicare, showing that reforms will be needed soon to make these programs sustainable … Social Security as a whole is on an unsustainable path … Social Security's financial status has deteriorated significantly since last year's report … Currently, Social Security is adding significantly to unified budget deficits. Not counting the payroll tax holiday this year and last year, the program is projected to run a $53 billion deficit in 2012 and $937 billion from 2013 through 2022."
Both NASI and CRFB are highly respected organizations, yet the pictures they paint could not be more different. So, who is right? Is it possible to reconcile these two views?
Like last week's post, in which I tried to cut through the rhetoric over the cost of the Affordable Care Act, this post tries to cut through the rhetoric over Social Security's finances by using a fictitious debate. And just like last week, the answer to "who is right?" is "It depends …"
Let's focus on what appears to be a factual disagreement. NASI says "In 2011, Social Security had a surplus." CRFB says "Social security is adding significantly to unified budget deficits."
How can the program be running both a surplus and adding to the deficit?
The answer is that it depends on whether you think about interest on the Social Security trust funds as being income or not. One's views about the Trust Funds also help shed light on whether we should view Social Security as being in financial distress now (the CRFB view), or whether we still have two decades before we have any real problems (the NASI view).
How does the Trust Fund work? (For this post, I am going to ignore the distinction between the retirement and disability trust funds – implicitly, I am assuming that Congress will simply re-allocate the payroll tax revenue across the two programs, as they have done in the past when needed).
The only thing that anyone needs to know about the Social Security "trust fund" is that it is a complete financial fraud.
The federal government is all one entity. The only thing that the SS "trust fund" holds is a "special" class of Treasury bonds.
In other words, the federal government has written itself an IOU and called that an "investment". An IOU in the hands of it's maker represents nothing of any value whatsoever.
That doesn't work for anyone else and it doesn't work for the federal government either.
There are no "special" principles of economics for governments that are different from the one's that apply to everyone and everything else.
Well the other thing that most people don't realize is that FICA taxes are just that – taxes. They are no different than any other taxes.
A tax is just a tax.
The Supreme Court has already ruled that no one has an standing to sue the federal government for non payment of social security benefits if Congress changes the law and reduces or eliminates benefits for some people – or everybody. The fact that someone paid FICA taxes does not grant them a property right to benefits.
The federal government may indeed have had to borrow more via "regular" treasury bonds if the FICA taxes had not been used pay for it's profligate ways. Or maybe, it may have been forced to cut back spending instead either by political pressure or by bond vigilantes driving up rates and making debt service payments unsustainable. You can play what ifs all day long but it doesn't change the basic economic fact that an IOU in the hands of it's maker is worthless.
The trust fund has nothing of value in it. In order for those "special" Treasury bonds to be redeemed, the feds will have to sell more "regular" Treasury bonds, notes or bills to the public (or China or Japan), raise other taxes or cut spending and divert the cash to SS benefits. Or some combination of all of those.
The bottom line is that Social Security has always been presented on a fraudulent basis to the public and it is a bad deal for most people of middle class means and above. Even if the everyone got all the benefits they are supposed to get under the current benefit formulas, most of them will have a negative real rate of return on the FICA taxes that they paid.
Please keep in mind that those of us who paid into social security were being taxed and the taxes were spent as general revenue. Thus, there is an obligation to those who paid. There are some state workers who are US citizens who did not pay the social security tax. Others, for example landlords who collected rents and high income earners, who did not pay the tax or who paid very little in proportion to income. All citizens and residents are obligated for the treasury debt but those who paid social security tax were obligated to pay more for future benefits and should be reimbursed with those benefits. Yes it is all owed within the family but when the payment is made, those on the receiving end are those who already paid the social security tax. Thus, the trust fund is REAL even if the recipients of the funds from the trust funds are paying part of the trust fund obligations. The state workers and those who paid little or no social security tax are liable for paying part of the trust fund obligations but are not vested in receiving the social security checks.

Manchester United go into their second match of this season's Champions League with a home match against FC Basel at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. The Reds go into the game after a bruising encounter with Stoke City at the weekend saw their 100% record disappear. Training ground injuries to Rooney, Carrick and Evans have depleted squad resources further which leaves just four recognised defenders fit and available.
Basel will have their most famous fan in attendance tomorrow at Old Trafford. Roger Federer will take time out from his busy schedule to watch the team at the Theatre of Dreams. The Swiss club go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw with FC Thun at the weekend.
United drew their opening Champions League fixture against Benfica a fortnight ago after a Giggs strike cancelled out a first half opener from Cardozo. The Swiss defeated Romanian minnows Otelul Galati on matchday one with goals from Fabian and Alexander Frei.
The Opposition
FC Basel were founded in 1893. One of their early club captains was Joan Gamper who went on to establish Barcelona in Spain. They play their home fixtures at St Jacob-Park that has a capacity of 38,500 and was built in 2001. They have won the Swiss Super League 14 times in their history and have competed in European competition every year since 1999/00.
Thorsten Fink was appointed manager in June 2009 after the ten year reign of Christian Gross. Fink came on as a substitute in the Champions League final in 1999 after 80 minutes against United and witnessed one of the most dramatic ends to any final. Basel currently lie in 4th place in the league with a record of played ten, won four and drawn four.
Stat zone by Rahul Singh
- United & Basel last met in 2002-03 Champions League. Match ended in 1-1 draw at Old Trafford but United won 3-1 in aggregate.
- United have lost only 1 of the last 32 CL home games.
- Rooney has failed to score in his last five Champions League games at Old Trafford
- United last Champions League defeat at Old Trafford was the 1-0 loss to Besiktas in the group stages two years ago.
- One of only two goals Gary Neville scored in 110 CL games was against FC Basel in 2002-03
- Darren Fletcher made his United debut when Basel visited Old Trafford on 12th March 2003
- Basle have won only one of 11 matches against English clubs. They have lost 7 of those 11.
- United only conceded four times at home in last season's competition, but all teams they faced in the knockout stage scored at Old Trafford.
- Alexander Frei is in red hot form for FC Basel, he has scored nine goals in five games.
The game at Old Trafford seems an ideal opportunity to give Anders Lindegaard another taste of first team football after an impressive display in Lisbon a fortnight ago. David De Gea came through his expected ordeal at the Britannia Stadium with flying colours and can now look forward to a more comfortable run of games in the Premier League. The four fit defenders virtually pick themselves in my opinion with Valencia able to take a place further forward. The manager will be praying that no further injuries occur in the defence with the likes of Vidic, Smalling, Evans and Rafael all absent.
With Cleverley still sidelined and Fletcher putting in a 90 minute performance on Saturday I have gone for the partnership of Anderson and Carrick in the centre of midfield. There is a possibility that Giggs will be preferred to the Brazilian to reunite the most successful pairing of last season. With Nani and Young getting plenty of plaudits in the early weeks of the season, it will be an opportune time to allow Valencia and Park a run out in their preferred positions.
Up front, I would expect Danny Welbeck to be given a run out after his recent recovery from a hamstring injury with Berbatov alongside him. The likes of Owen, Macheda and Diouf will all be hoping for a place on the bench.
Score Prediction
I would expect a comfortable victory for United with Basel playing neat football throughout but failing to trouble our threadbare back four. Goals will come from Anderson, Park and Welbeck as United look well placed to achieve the ten points that usually secures a passage into the knock-out phases in the New Year.

Garmin FR70 Heart Rate Monitor - blue
Quick Overview
A fresh new look and colours with improved button functionality and restyled, robust wristbands. With different models specifically built for men and women, the sleek, easy-to-use sports watch tells you your total exercise time, calories burned, time in 5 x heart rate training zones and more.
The Garmin FR70 heart rate monitor is a fresh replacement of the VERY POPULAR FR60. This heart monitor will log every mile and every minute and is a sleek fitness watch plus a workout tool that tracks your time, heart rate and calories burned. When bundled with the wireless foot pod, the FR70 also tracks speed and distance, indoors or out. Then it wirelessly sends your workout data via USB to your computer for later analysis.
First impressions
In our view, and please remember heartratemonitors.co.uk have first hand practical knowledge all the products we sell, the FR70 is one of the best heart rate monitors we have ever sold.

Background: Several studies have indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus is more common among schizophrenic patients than in the general population. In this study, we investigated whether the use of antipsychotic drugs in patients with diabetes leads to worsening of glycemic control.
Method: In this cohort study, patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were selected from the PHARMO Record Linkage System, which comprises pharmacy records for all 320,000 residents of 6 Dutch cities. In total, we identified 2585 patients with incident cases of type 2 diabetes who began treatment with oral hypoglycemic agents between 1991 and 1997 and had a medication history of at least 2 years after diagnosis of diabetes. A change in treatment from oral hypoglycemic agents alone to insulin therapy (with or without continuation of oral hypoglycemic agents) was considered a proxy for deterioration of beta-cell function. We compared the incidence of initiation of insulin therapy between users and nonusers of antipsychotic drugs by performing a Cox proportional hazards model analysis.
Results: We found an increased risk for initiation of insulin therapy at 2 years after diagnosis of diabetes in users of antipsychotics compared with nonusers; the relative hazard (hazard ratio) was 2.0 (95% CI = 1.2 to 3.3), which did not change after adjustment for potential confounders. The risk decreased in the years after diagnosis of diabetes.
Conclusion: It seems that use of antipsychotics by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with initiation of insulin therapy (i.e., "secondary failure"), especially in the first 2 years of the disease.

Nuclear energy policy update: key recommendations from the Conference on Nuclear Third-Party Liability and Insurance
29 January 2014
The international criminal court treaty is a big achievement but can it deliver what it promises? Jonathan Stanley is a London-based writer on law.
British lawyers have played a skilled part in preparing and negotiating the hard-won treaty to establish a permanent international criminal court (ICC).
The treaty, which is the culmination of years of preparatory work, was agreed at a United Nations (UN) meeting of 160 countries in Rome last month. the British diplomatic and legal delegation at the conference was led by Sir Franklin Berman QC, the legal adviser to the Foreign Office.
Nicholas Stewart QC, chairman of the Bar human rights committee, assisted a coalition of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and human rights organisations from around the world who attended the Rome meeting.
Christopher Hall, legal adviser to Amnesty International, assisted with the framing of the NGOs' arguments, while Stewart conferred with the UK legal and diplomatic delegation. The British effort led to the inclusion of treaty provisions for compensating victims.
The treaty has been welcomed by major human rights organisations such as Oxfam, Amnesty and Save the Children despite its omissions.
The new court is designed to serve the international community's definition of the best interests of countries deemed unwilling or unable to hold such trials themselves.
The inability or unwillingness of a state to uphold humanitarian law will be decided upon by an independent prosecutor, who must also clear his indictments with a pre-trial chamber.
The principle of "complementarity", which requires state parties to convene their own tribunals in the first instance, ensures that the UK and other countries with proper judicial systems should have nothing to fear from the ICC.
The ICC could exercise jurisdiction over a national from a state that has not ratified the ICC statute. If, for example, a suspect from such a state fled to another country, he or she could be handed over to the ICC if the state where the crime occurred had ratified the treaty.
Although it is unlikely that a British national accused of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes would be tried by the ICC in the Hague rather than by the UK courts, a problem might arise if an indictee on British soil was a head of state or a sovereign, or entitled to diplomatic immunity. The UK might then prefer to send him or her to The Hague.
Civil as well as international conflicts are covered by the treaty. It does not specify the use or possession of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons or land mines as war crimes but it does include a comprehensive prohibition against the use of "inherently indiscriminate" weapons.
Up to the final hours of the conference, the US persisted with its main, non-negotiable demand that the nation state of the accused had to consent to his or her prosecution as well as the country in which the alleged crime was committed. But it became apparent that this was unacceptable to most other countries. Eventually, the majority forced a final vote, which the US lost. The US now says it will "actively oppose" the permanent ICC.
Among the other countries voting against the ICC was China. India fought to have the use but not the possession of nuclear weapons designated a war crime.
Israel also voted against the ICC. It had previously campaigned for such a court but the Netanyahu government was said to feel that, under the treaty, it was possible that new settlers in the West Bank might be prosecuted.
The painful process which eventually led to Rome began in this country in 1919 with the "Hang the Kaiser" campaign. Yet when the German Supreme Court eventually took over the task of prosecuting 20,000 war criminals, only 12 were convicted.
The Nuremberg and the Tokyo Charters and subsequent trials following World War II were denounced as "victor's justice".
However the groundwork for this treaty was done by the UN General Assembly and the International Law Commission rather than individual states. Their aim was to develop a code of offences and to elaborate a statute for an independent international criminal jurisdiction.
When, by 1992, the Cold War was succeeded by the New World Order it was the UN Security Council which began to manage international justice by mandating the Yugoslavia and the Rwanda tribunals, whose legal basis is arguable.
Now, with an independent court, the international community may have wrested the ball away from the New World Order, just for the moment. Yet the ICC may need the type of policing power that only the Security Council can muster.
And if with 60,000 troops in the Balkans two notorious international "fugitives" cannot be arrested for political reasons, what will the international community do when it does not have the use of troops to enforce the treaty?
More information on the ICC treaty can be found at: www.igc.apc.org/icc
Defining the jurisdiction of the International criminal court
The new ICC has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression. All states party to the ICC statute are deemed to accept the jurisdiction of the court.
The statute drafted by the International Law Commission in 1994 included treaty crimes, such as those regulating drug trafficking and terrorism. This caused a great deal of consternation among states which argued that such crimes were "regional" rather than "international".
The approach adopted in Rome is more restrictive in order to avoid a court with a piecemeal jurisdiction.
The court will have jurisdiction over war crimes "Sin particular, when [they] are committed as a part of a plan or policy or as part of a large-scale commission of such crimes". To raise the threshold of seriousness in this manner would increase the evidential burden on the prosecution. It may mean that targeted abuses - such as the systematic yet localised rape of women in Bosnia - will fall outside the scope of war crimes. But the inclusion of the words "in particular" seems to imply that war crimes are not solely limited to planned, systematic and widespread abuses.
A transitional provision has been included in the statute by which a state may declare, for a period of seven years after ratification, that it does not accept the jurisdiction of the court over war crimes. This is an unacceptable compromise undermining the status of war crimes as truly universal crimes. It may result in a court with a fragmented jurisdiction, whereby a defendant indicted for war crimes could seek refuge in a state which has made a declaration rejecting the court's jurisdiction.
Preconditions exist before the ICC can exercise its jurisdiction over potential defendants. The alleged criminal activity must be referred to the prosecutor either by states party to the statute, the Security Council or by the prosecutor's own motion. Where a referral is made by a state or the prosecutor, either the state in which the criminal activity is alleged to have taken place or the state of which the accused is a national must be party to the statute.

The Associated Press
Two children were killed and five other people were injured Monday when a fire broke out at a house in Elkins, Fire Chief Tom Meader said.
Four children, their parents and an adult family member were inside the two-story wood and masonry house when the fire occurred around 4 a.m. Monday, Meader said.
Meader said that he did not know the ages or genders of the children who were killed.
None of the victims has been identified.
The other children and the adults were injured and were taken to West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh.
Five area fire departments responded to the fire, along with Randolph County Emergency Services and Elkins police.
"A house fire resulted in the loss of life, serious injuries and a total loss of the residents' home and belonging," Elkins Mayor Van Broughton told the Inter-Mountain. "I hope you will keep these people — our neighbors in your thoughts and prayers.
Broughton said that residents can honor the victims by learning from the fire.
"Please, take this event as a reminder to practice good fire safety in your own homes," Broughton said. "Tonight, maybe even today, on your lunch hour, check the batteries in your smoke detectors. Make sure everyone who lives in your home knows at least two escape routes out of every room. If there is someone in your home who might need extra assistance in a fire, make sure your neighbors know."
Reports indicate there were no working smoke detectors in the home.
The cause of the fire hasn't been determined. The blaze is being investigated by the state Fire Marshal's Office.

Pippa was born Philippa Charlotte Middleton on September 6, 1983 to flight attendant Carole and flight dispatcher Michael. Pippa's younger brother James is a businessman while her older sister Kate is the Duchess of Cambridge and married to Prince William. In the early 90s, Carole launched her company Party Pieces, where Pippa first witnessed her life in the spotlight as a model for the Party Pieces catalog.
Pippa and Kate both attended St. Andrew's School in Pangbourne, the girls' boarding school Downe House and Marlborough College in Wiltshire, but Pippa stood out in the crowd as the attentive, outgoing student of the two. Pippa then went on to study English literature at the University of Edinburgh alongside children of the dukes and earls. There, she developed a romance with the son of the Duke of Northumberland, George Percy. Ensuing her graduation in 2008, Pippa worked for a public relations firm and as a party planner in London, where she was often seen hanging out with aristocrats at the hottest nightclubs.
Pippa's rise to fame presented itself when her sister Kate started dating Prince William while attending University of St. Andrew in Scotland. Their romance was a daily discussion in the press and Pippa began getting noticed when she was spotted shopping with Kate and associating with the royal crowd on many occasions. Pippa's fashion sense and classic beauty quickly created a fan base and the two sisters were soon known as the "wisteria sisters."
On November 2010, Kate and Prince William announced their engagement and maid of honor Pippa was right by their sides, helping the couple plan the royal wedding. On April 29, 2011, their highly publicized ceremony at Westminster Abby finally arrived. Although Kate's bridal dress was breathtaking, Pippa stole the spotlight with her voluptuous ivory dress by Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton as she carried her sister's train. Her athletic figure and tight rear propelled her to celebrity status.
The press' infatuation with Pippa continues to grow until this day, studying her love life and every event she attends. In September 2011, she was photographed sitting front row in the majority of events at London Fashion Week.
Dating History – Pippa Boyfriends
2004 - 2007
Pippa dated Jonathan Jardine Patterson, who is the heir to a major Hong Kong diamond business.
Pippa briefly dated socialite Simon Youngman, who comes from a family associated with the diamond business.
Pippa and socialite Billy More Nisbett had a quick romance but a full on relationship never developed.
Pippa and club owner, socialite Charlie Gilkes dated briefly, but the two remain friends.
Pippa had a fling with heir to the Duke of Northumberland George Percy while they attended the University of Edinburgh.
According to London tabloids, Pippa and socialite Guy Pelly were romantically involved, though they were never able to confirm the rumors.
April 2010 - July 2010
Reportedly, Pippa had a short romance with Alexander Spencer-Churchill, who is related to Sir Winston Churchill.
November 2010 - November 2011
Pippa and English cricketer Alex Loudon dated from late 2010 to 2011 before splitting up. They reunited in June 2011, just in time for Alex to get an invite to the royal wedding. Supposedly, Alex and Prince William have been friends since the two met at Eton College.
December 2011 - January 2012
Rumors that Pippa and ex-boyfriend George Percy were back together developed when The Sun reported that the couple was spotted getting nice and cozy at a New Year's Eve party. Their reps adamantly denied any type of romance between the two.

TAZEWELL, Va. —
The January term of the Tazewell County Grand Jury released a docket including 51 indictments this week including an alleged attempted rape, three separate indictments charging a Tazewell, Va., man with "threatening to burn or bomb," and four individuals who were charged with 61-counts each involving a "large scale series of larcenies and break-ins," according to Tazewell County Commonwealth Attorney Dennis Lee.
According to Lee, Robert McKinley Blankenship, 49, of Doran, Va., was indicted on charges of attempted rape, taking indecent liberties with a child under 15 years of age, assault & battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
"The allegations in the indictment are that the defendant attempted to rape an underage girl," Lee said. According to Lee, the defendant allegedly took the victim to an isolated place where he attempted the rape, but the female was able to successfully resist the attack.
"He was arrested shortly after the incident," Lee said. He added that Blankenship has been in the Southwestern Regional Jail in Tazewell since his arrest and that he is scheduled for a guilty plea hearing on Feb. 11. The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office conducted the investigation.
Lee said that Merry Christina Martin, 47, her daughter, Cassandra Elaine Martin, 24, a friend, Jeremy Lee Scobey, 30, and another male whose name was not included in the indictments released to the press, all of North Tazewell, Va., were each charged with 61-counts including conspiracy, burglary, assault, larceny, battery and more.
"They are charged in a large scale series of larcenies and break ins in the Tazewell area," Lee said. "It started in mid-February and continued until June, 2012," Lee said. "The Town of Tazewell Police and the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office investigated the case together. Several items were recovered, and the arrests cleared a lot of larcenies and break-ins in the Tazewell area."
David Michael Mikolic, 55, of Tazewell, Va., was named in three separate indictments including one charging him firearm possession/ transport/conceal by a convicted felon violent felon. The second indictment alleges that Mikolic threatened to burn or bomb; assault & battery; disorderly conduct; resisting lawful arrest and violate condition of release. The third indictment naming Mikolic alleges in two counts that he illegally possessed a weapon, ammunition or explosive as a convicted felon; impersonated a law enforcement officer; and assault & battery.
Lee said that Mikolic is "presently in jail," and added that he has been incarcerated since his arrest on July 26, 2012.
The counts alleged in the indictment occurred on July 3, July 16, and July 26, all in 2012. The last count emerged from an alleged threat that "he was going to burn a house down," Lee said.
The Town of Tazewell Police Department and the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office worked together on the investigation that resulted in the indictment naming Mikolic, according to Lee.

Warrington Wolves' young players poised to finally make their mark
Updated 10:05am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Wolves news By Christopher Terris Taylor
WARRINGTON Wolves' young players are poised to exploit the biggest change in playing personnel since Tony Smith's arrival in 2009.
In the past few years Wolves' side has been dominated by the experience of Adrian Morley, Lee Briers and Brett Hodgson, with few young players able to break into the first team on a regular basis.
Ben Currie is the most notable exception to that rule, making 24 appearances in 2013 and only missing out on places in Warrington's Challenge Cup semi final and Grand Final squads due to illness at the back end of the season.
But with older players moving on and a sprinkling of replacements drafted in from outside the club, 2014 is surely the year for Wolves' promising youngsters to become a more permanent fixture in Smith's match-day squads.
Established stars Micky Higham and Joel Monaghan have given their insight on two players who are competing for their positions in the match-day squad in 2014.
Micky Higham considers hooker Brad Dwyer as a huge threat.
"I really expect to see Brad challenging myself and Mick Monaghan for a first-team spot this season," he said.
"He is keen to learn, he stood out in the pre-season friendly against Widnes and he is a game kid, a tough nut.
"I spoke to Tony about him and I said that he reminded me of me when I was young.
"He is quick out of dummy half, he is deceptively strong and something Tony really likes about him is that he does not die wondering.
"He gives his all and chances his arm a bit and if he thinks something is on, he will go for it.
"I think Tony likes that bit of unpredictability.
"He has got some good attributes and I hope he does really well - just only after I've finished playing!"
On the edges, Joel Monaghan believes a physically-improved Gene Ormsby will offer himself, Chris Riley and Kevin Penny most competition this season.
"Tony had the younger guys in for pre-season training before I got back and I was talking to Smithy as soon as I got in about how impressed I was with them," said Joel.
"Gene Ormsby has really grown over the past six months.
"He has filled out a bit and is looking good. He played pretty well in the friendly against Widnes.
"Gene has been around a while but I think he has realised how big, strong and quick he is.
"He has the potential to be in the Super League side this year and by the way he has been training I have been really impressed with him and I know that Smithy has been very impressed with him, too.
"We've got four top-line wingers in the squad now and that will give Smithy confidence to swap us in and out a bit more throughout what is a long season."
Gene Ormsby, aged 21, winger, hails from Oldham, spent 2013 on dual registration with Swinton Lions.
Brad Dwyer, aged 20, hooker, hails from Wigan, spent majority of 2013 on loan with Huddersfield Giants and on dual registration with Swinton Lions.

Doylestown Township residents will pay the same township property taxes in 2013 and they did in 2012.
The township board of supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved next year's budget with no tax increase.
The township property tax rate will remain set at 10.25 mills, the same as it was in 2012.
That means the owner of a home assessed at the township average of $40,000 will pay about $410 in property taxes to the township.
In 2011, the tax rate went up by 3 mills, from 7.25 to 10.25 mills. The increase of about 41 percent was the first General Fund tax increase since 1988.
The 2013 budget lays out revenues of about $11.87 million and expenses of about $12.39 million. To close that gap, officials plan to use money left in reserve in varying amounts across the township's 14 funds.
Despite pulling $709,478 from its reserves, Doylestown Township still expects to have about $4.68 million left in reserve by the end of 2013, township manager Stephanie Mason said Thursday.
Doylestown Township is home to about 17,500 residents, according to the 2010 census.

NORMAN — A day after coming up short despite a strong effort against Midwest City, the Timberwolves put together both a good game and a win against Westmoore Saturday.
The T-Wolves started hot. Trae Young had another big game for North, hitting three 3-pointers in the first quarter as North got off to a 42-19 start against the Jags, who beat Moore Friday.
" (Westmoore) beat Moore, which beat us on Tuesday, but we showed up and played like we did in the first half against Midwest City," coach Bryan Merritt said. "We shared the ball."
Payton Prince added 19 points for North.
Norman North girls 49, Westmoore 36: A day after losing to Midwest City at the buzzer, the Timberwolves bounced back with a convincing victory.
Tia Williams played one of her best games of the season off the bench and led the Timberwolves with 17 points, while Bri Kuestersteffen added 13. The T-Wolves held Westmoore to 10 first-half points.
"Tia was outstanding for us tonight; she played really well," coach Jeff Blough said. "It was a good bounceback game for us and good to get a win."

Hampton Court Palace hosts Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare would be proud of
9:00am Sunday 10th February 2013 in News By Clare Buchanan
Shakespeare's romantic tale of Romeo and Juliet was brought to life by schoolchildren at Hampton Court Palace, where the playwright made his debut performance in front of royalty.
Pupils from St John the Baptist Primary School mesmerised the audience with their rendition of the play in original Shakespearean English.
The children, whose ages ranged from seven to 11, dressed in authentic style costumes of vibrant gold, silks and velvets and wore Venetian masks for the show on Wednesday, January 30.
The palace's great hall, adorned with historic tapestries, was the ideal stage for the acrobats, dancers, musicians and swordsmen and the minstrel gallery the perfect place for Juliet to speak to Romeo.
Shakespeare made his first performance before King James I and his family in the very same hall in 1604.
Headteacher Susan Sawyer leads the Hampton Wick school's drama club and said the children spent a lot of time working on diction and understanding of the plot.
She said: "In our workshops we think and act out the morals behind Shakespeare's work, contextualising it in the children's world today.
"After all, that is why Shakespeare stands the test of time, because he tackled the seemingly never-ending world issues, such as war, power and prejudice, but also of course love, laughter and peace.
"Our school motto is, 'Go for it' and these wonderful young people certainly live by that code. I feel honoured to be their headteacher."
The school has worked with the palace for the past two years on various history, arts, maths and science projects.
Mrs Sawyer said: "Hopefully teachers and pupils around the country will see the wider opportunities this magnificent building can offer."

Cahal Dunne, a songwriter, a masterful pianist, a comedian and one of Ireland's best vocalists, will appear in Centerville on Monday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Simon Estes Auditorium under the auspices of the Centerville Concert Association.
Cahal Dunne possesses that certain magical quality that comes from deep within a great entertainer and washes over his audiences, captivating them. His vocal style is rich and deep as he takes you on a musical journey to his homeland. He has an easy rapport and his great sense of humor is shown in a way that appeals to audiences of all ages. He is truly an entertainer extraordinaire.
He has appeared with Bob Hope, Wayne Newton, Al Martino and Tony Orlando and performed for several presidents. He accompanies himself on the piano but has backing tracks on about 50 percent of the songs so there is a full orchestra sound coming from the stage.
Cahal's concert schedule takes him all over the country, but usually centers on the East coast where he has a loyal following. This will be Cahal's second tour for Allied Concert Services, the first, a highly successful 27 concerts performed in the 10-11 season.
He is a native of Cork Ireland, and he received a Bachelor of Music degree from the University College of Cork. He has won a number of prizes in Irish Song Contests, Including Ireland's National Song Contest with his winning song "Happy Man" which earned him the right to represent Ireland in the International Eurovision Music Contest in Israel. "Happy Man" became number one in Europe and Ireland with record sales topping the quarter million mark. This gave him the title that most people know him by, "Ireland's Happy Man." Cahal makes his home near Pittsburgh, PA with his wife Kathleen and their family.
Admission to this second concert of the season is by season memberships from Centerville, Ottumwa, Fairfield and Washington. Single tickets will be available at the door for $15.

This is one of the best Porketta recipes to date! Easy to make! Toss it in the slow cooker with potatoes and carrots and you'll have a dinner everyone will enjoy!
The first time I made this recipe, I would have given it 3 stars. The flavor did not infuse the meat as I would have liked. I made it again with a few modifications and it was WONDERFUL! First, I salted the roast before applying the rub. Second, I ground the fennel and dill. Third, I added 1 tsp. of paprika because all the pre-made porketta roasts in the meat section have it. Also, I put it in the slow cooker for 10 hours on low, turning once half-way through. Before serving I cut the meat and let it soak in the juices for about 5 minutes. MMMM. I think the leftovers will be shredded and used in sandwiches.

Yum! Thanks for the recipe - My sister's in-laws are Italian and this is their traditional Christmas Day dinner, but they usually order the seasoned roast from a local deli. They use rosemary instead of the dill, though. We always roast potatoes in the pan so they get all crisp and seasoned by the spices and drippings - Delicious!

Jay-Z and Beyonce knows how to spoil their baby!
A European tabloid is reporting that the couple spent $200,000 on their daughter's 1st birthday party. They supposedly spent $95,000 on a pink and red roses themed party, $2,000 for Blue Ivy's birthday cake, $30,000 worth of goodies for the close friends and family who attended which included a gold pen with the guest's name and Blue Ivy's name engraved on them and $80,000 on a diamond encrusted Barbie doll.
A source close the couple says that Jay-Z and Beyonce work hard for their money and don't mind spending the money on their child. They wanted her 1st birthday to set the tone for the rest of her life.
This is their first child together so I'm not mad that they're spoiling her.

Insightful background information about Coach Hue growing up in South Central L.A. From all accounts (former coaches, friends, teammates), Action Jackson is a natural born coach. Calling his own plays and analyzing O's & D's since High School. "In Hue We Trust"
Saw this all over Yahoo! right now and was wondering if anyone else knew anymore about this? I also read that he has already cut ties with the company. Link here. Just wondering, why this comes out the day after he becomes Head Coach? Coincidence, or are they messing with him cause he's now the Raiders' HC?
According to Corkran's article, sources close to the organization as well as Hue Jackson say the hiring will be made official very soon, even if Hue Jackson hasn't officially interviewed for the position. In a corresponding blog post, Jerry McDonald (of the Oakland Tribune as well) expects the announcement to come after all NFL games are played. This would translate to an announcement coming late Sunday afternoon (on the West Coast) at the very earliest although, realistically, Monday or Tuesday would be a safer bet. This is huge news as it is important to get the coaching ducks in a row so the Raiders can get a headstart on the NFL draft. Perhaps more importantly, it will settle the staff so they can begin to focus on "re-recruiting" the multitude of pending free agents this offseason.
So, with the majority of the media and some fans denouncing the Oakland Raiders decision to let Tom Cable go, I've been spending sometime looking at Hue Jackson and reflecting on the explosive...
Game plan was to run like crazy to open up PA, too bad we couldn't run
Wow is Hue a good talker. I just hope he can call plays like he can call out. CSNCalifornia.com has his whole interview with the press today.

Lack of Iron interest surprises Devonshire (From Braintree and Witham Times)

Lack of Iron interest surprises Devonshire
10:14am Friday 4th May 2012 in Local Sport By Simon Spurgeon
Alan Devonshire says he has been surprised at the lack of interest shown by rival clubs in his Braintree Town players.
Having finished their season with a 5-1 defeat at Wrexham last weekend, the Iron boss is now building his squad for next year's Blue Square Bet Premier campaign.
Captain Kenny Davis, striker Sean Marks and goalkeeper Nathan McDonald have all been quick to pen new deals to keep them at the club next season and Devonshire said he is keen to tie others down as well.
He said no-one has told him they won't be signing and the Braintree manager said he has had no contact from other clubs or managers looking to make approaches for his players.
He did lose Andy Yiadom to Barnet in January, but the lack of interest has been unexpected given the team's superb form in their first season in the top tier of non-league football.
Devonshire said: "I can categorically say that I haven't had one call from anyone about any of my players.
"Not from another manager or another club.
"To be fair, I'm surprised by that.
"But it's our first season at this level and maybe people are waiting to see if the players can do it again next year.
"I don't know, but I have not had one call over the whole season.
"I would like to keep the squad together and they don't all have to be on contracts, but I'll keep talking to them until they sign forms.
"I'm hoping to get a couple more sorted in the next few weeks, but we may have to wait until pre-season to get the squad really finalised.
"I know some are waiting on things, which I understand, but I haven't had any inkling at this time that any of them will be leaving.
"No-one has said to me that they want to leave the club and no-one has turned down an offer put to them."
And Devonshire is also working hard to augment his squad with fresh additions now that the season has finished.
He added: "I'll be looking at a lot of games and I'll be taking in the play-off games, so we shall see.
"I have a couple of targets who I would like to get and it will be great if they come to fruition.
"I have space for about four or five in the squad.
"There's two or three who I'm looking at and then there will be a couple of spaces for people who come in during pre-season."

Quite a few cars (e.g. latest Golf) now have one fog light come on (at night & at low speeds only) when you indicate, to improve visibility into dark turnings.
I quite like this idea and was wondering if it can be done on the A3.

Can this be done in VCDS for a 2005? Ive had a look but cant see it?
I don't like this feature as looks as though a car has a bulb out.
S3 Sportback
It makes it better to see the road, not bothered what it looks like
Leon Cupras do it IIRC, at least I've seen one do it!
i can only think its a kind of AFL type of function, I admit would be happy. Maybe some of the coding wizards can advise. I the meantime i might look into what Seat call it.
Didn't take long:
would appear not to be the normal fog but a split lense with another light for this function.Thanks to the Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS) the SEAT Altea's bi-xenon headlights follow the rotational movement of the steering wheel, giving you illumination where you need it most. The cornering lights serve a similar purpose - activated by the indicator signal, a cornering light housed in the fog lamp illuminates the area in the direction you intend to turn. Like the Daytime Running Lights (for cars specified with bi-xenon headlights), this also makes you more visible to oncoming drivers.
My 2009 has the option in vcds but doesn't work when enabled.
I activated them for a customer when he had all his bulbs upgraded, that was a 62 reg so 8p3 cars will have the option.

It's even easier on my 2010. (probably the only thing that is actually easy on a 2010)
I just ticked the button that said Cornering lights via fog lamps and they worked.
I just need some whiter bulbs now, the fogs look almost brown compared to my xenons and drl's

Axure Share
Manage Licenses
You can add a wide range of interactions to your wireframe from basic page links to dynamic "AJAX-y" behaviors to conditional logic and math functions.
The amount of interactivity needed for a prototype frequently depends on the audience and purpose. Sometimes a quick click-through is the way to go, but if you're doing user testing, you may want to invest in making the prototype closer to the final application. Before building the more complex interactions, it's a good idea to consider whether you need to.
Of course, sometimes it's just fun to make
it all work.
Interactions in Axure RP are made up of three main parts: events, cases, and actions.
Cases are the possible paths in response to an event. For example, on the click of a hyperlink, there may be a single case to open a page. Or on the click of a Login button, there may be two cases. If the login succeeds, open a page or if it fails, show an error. In Axure RP, these cases can be presented in the prototype as options or you can define conditional logic to automatically perform the desired case based on the values in the fields.
Below is a list of the available actions:
Events are triggers for an interaction. For example, a click, a mouse over, a drag, a drop, etc. Different widgets respond to
different events.
Below is a list of all the events available in Axure RP.
Page links and beyond
Widget Events
Cases Overview
Actions Overview
Events are triggers for an interaction. For example, a click, a mouse over, a drag, a drop, etc. Different widgets respond to
different events.
Below is a list of all the events available in Axure RP.
Page Events
At the top, you can edit the description for the case. The description is presented in the prototype if there are multiple cases on the event and no conditional logic.
Add one or more actions to a case by clicking an action from the list on the left-hand section.
The actions you choose appear in the middle section. You can add an action multiple times. The actions fire in the order shown. For example, if you add a "Set Variable Value" action after "Open Link", the browser will link to the next page before the variables get set.
They can be reordered by drag and drop or by clicking on the down arrow next to the action (or right click on the action) and selecting the option to move the action up or down.
Select the action in the 'Organize actions' section to configure the properties in the right-hand section.
When you are finished, click OK and the case and actions will appear in the Widget Interactions and Notes Pane.
There are scenarios where triggering an event could take multiple paths or cases. To define additional cases on an event, repeat the steps for adding a case. You can use the case descriptions to describe the scenario. For example, on the OnClick of a button, you can have two cases with the descriptions "If Login Succeeds" and "If Login Fails". In the prototype, clicking on the button displays the descriptions and you can choose one to perform the related action.
A well written case description is an effective way to communicate conditional flow and is easy to maintain and update. When you need the prototype to perform the right case automatically, you can define conditional logic on the cases to perform actions based on values stored in variables or entered by the user in the prototype. Head over to
the Conditional Logic article to learn more.
Adding Cases
Defining Multiple Cases
Select a widget in the wireframe to display the events available for that widget in the Interactions tab of the Widget Properties Pane.
To add a case, select an event and double-click on the event, or click "Add Case". This opens the Case Editor dialog where you can choose and configure the actions you want to perform.
Case Editor
Actions are the responses to an event that are defined within a case. Take a basic link example: on the click of the button, open a page in the current window. The action in this case is "open a page in the current window".
Available Actions
Want to take things a step further? Try adding conditions to your interactions.
Learn how to add and format a widget, add a basic link, and generate your first prototype.
This tutorial shows how to add multiple cases to an event, display a dynamic error message, and edit case descriptions to show the different paths a user can take in a login scenario.

Widget Tutorial
This tutorial shows how to dynamically enable, disable, and set focus on widgets using actions.
Core Training #4:
Building Interactions
Shortcut to Create a Link
The easiest way to create basic page links in Axure is by clicking Create Links.
Select a widget and click "Create Link" in the Interactions tab. Choose a page and voila!
You can move widgets with an animation effect as well as show and hide them with a fade effect.
Warning: These animations may be easy and fun for you to prototype but difficult for the developers to build :)
When defining the Move Panel action, you can choose a transition like swing or bounce and specify the duration of the animation.
And when defining Show Panel, Hide Panel, or Toggle Panel Visibility, you can choose a fade or slide animation.
Animation and
Transition Effects
These options are available when using the Show/Hide actions to help you build common design patterns faster.
Bring to front: Will bring the shown widget(s) to the "top" of your design
Treat as lightbox: Will bring the widget(s) to the front and create a colored background surrounding the widgets.
Treat as flyout: Will create an invisible area between the widgets where the cursor can travel without the widget being hidden. If the cursor goes outside of this area, the widget being shown will hide.
Push/pull widgets: Will move below/right widgets down or up when the widget is being shown/hidden. More Info
Show/Hide Options
This tutorial shows how to hide widgets and show them using an OnMouseEnter event with the "Show" action and treat as flyout.

Bill finding - Govtrack now state of the art

Some months ago, I explained in all its tedious detail the way in which I got the THOMAS page for a bill whose number and Congress I knew.
It was Workaround City, and something better surely had to come along.
I'm finding that Govtrack is that thing.

What is a Certificate program?
A certificate program is a transcripted degree program offered through a University. It is similar to a bachelor's or master's degree program, expect that it typically requires fewer credit hours to complete and focuses intently on a given topic. Once an individual has completed a certificate program, the degree will appear on his or her transcript.
Two certificate programs supported by the CDR and offered through the Department of Communication at Missouri State University are the Undergraduate Certificate in Conflict and Dispute Resolution and the Graduate Certificate Program in Conflict and Dispute Resolution.
The undergraduate certificate is taken in conjunction with a bachelor's degree. The graduate certificate may be taken alone or in conjunction with another graduate-level degree. With permission, students can "double count" coursework in a undergraduate or graduate certificate program toward a bachelor's or master's degree.
To learn more about either of these programs, please click the links above, contact the programs' Director Dr. Char Berquist, or contact Missouri State University's Department of Communication.

The United Mine Workers of America is taking its fight to Fairmont and encouraging everyone to show their support.
The UMW welcomes citizens near and far to join its "Fairness at Patriot" rally on Tuesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. at the Fairmont State University football field.
Phil Smith, director of communications for the UMW, said the rally is in support of the active and retired miners and their families who are losing their health care and pension benefits in Patriot Coal Corp.'s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which was filed July 9, 2012.
The event in Fairmont will feature UMW International President Cecil Roberts and International Secretary-Treasurer Daniel Kane as speakers. Political leaders, officials from other unions and various dignitaries are also being invited, Smith said.
He said those who attend the rally will be moved by the very serious, real threats that families are facing, because this is a life and death matter for many people.
"They can expect to hear some tremendous words from President Roberts, as they always can," Smith said. "They can expect to be uplifted by the motivation of the people who are engaging in the struggle."
