Manchester, England – Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has paid Roberto Mancini a rare compliment ahead of the crucial derby against Manchester City on Monday.
Ferguson, who is famous for playing mind games with his title rivals, said City had reached a new level under Mancini's guidance.
The Italian was appointed City manager in December 2009 and has established the club as a serious title contender with the help of multi-million-pound investment by its Abu Dhabi-based owners.
Many believe Mancini's job will come under threat if City fail to win the title after leading the standings for most of the season, but Ferguson said City was moving in the right direction.
"He (Mancini) is second-top of the league at the moment, with the league decider on Monday," Ferguson said. "That's progress, it's a step forward for them. That's the only way you can measure it."
City can move ahead of United on goal difference with two rounds left by winning Monday.
Ferguson also drew attention to the fact that City's likely points total would probably have been enough to win the league in most years.
"You look at the points total that both teams probably will amass and it's championship form from both teams," he said. "This is the derby game of all derby games. It's our city rivals and it makes everybody step up a notch in terms of anticipation."
The last time United and City fought it out for the title was in 1968 -also the last time City won the league - but this year is extra-special because the derby comes so close to the end of the season.
"It's a shootout, isn't it?" Ferguson said. "Going into work next Tuesday morning will be the most important day of their lives for both sets of supporters. People are brought up through their grandfathers, their great-grandfathers and grandmothers to what they are.
"You can't change a family's traits. It's steeped in the blood of these supporters." – Sapa-AP

No AntiVirus needed. iOS is designed with security in mind, and doesn't let apps interfere with each other or the system itself, which is the main cause of viruses on Windows.
lucky for us unlike android the ios got virus chance is very super slim to none

That is a different issue. There is no chance of getting a virus, no matter what use you are putting it to. Your question concerns network security. Don't pay your bills in Starbucks. Use your own secure network and you should be OK.Originally Posted by sienagail

That is true, of course. As someone pointed out a few weeks ago, the only company that could possibly write an AV app is Apple, because it would need so many hooks into iOS that no other developer would get it into the App Store.Originally Posted by MoonlitSonata

Starred in the title role in Ingmar Bergman's rendition of Strindberg's "Miss Julie" |
Led a satanic cult in Roman Polanski's "The Ninth Gate," co-starring Johnny Depp |
Olin's performance as Cordelia in a Bergman-directed "King Lear" at Stockholm's Royal Dramatic Theater in 1985 brought her to the attention of Bertil Ohlsson, executive producer of Philip Kaufman's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" (1988), adapted from Milan Kundera's best-selling novel of love and eroticism set against the 1968 Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. Her turn in that film as Sabina, the bowler hat-wearing artist-mistress of Daniel Day-Lewis, was the first of a series of smart, sexy roles showcasing her unique bearing and dancer's grace, helping to establish her international reputation as a "thinking man's beauty." Whereas the kinky Sabina's sexual proclivities served as a counterpoint to political oppression, the suicidal Masha in Paul Mazursky's "Enemies, a Love Story" (1989) used sex to escape the pain and humiliation of her Holocaust past. Comfortable with her body, Olin appeared in both films without her clothes, and "Enemies" contained sex scenes as graphic as an R rating permitted, prompting the actress to remark that "nudity is just another costume."
Oscar-nominated for her supporting turn as Masha, Olin continued her penchant for films with a background of political upheaval, acting opposite Robert Redford in the Sydney Pollack-directed "Havana" (1990), a disappointing "Casablanca"-like tale of Cuba in the late 50s, perhaps unjustly maligned as a complete bomb. After making her New York theater debut with a moving turn as the tormented titular character in a 1991 Swedish-language production of "Miss Julie", directed by Bergman, she returned to the screen opposite Richard Gere in the dubious "Mr. Jones" (1993), a dull doctor-patient love story with little foundation in reality. She fared far better as the standout of that year's "Romeo Is Bleeding", playing her most outrageous role to date, a psychopathic, Russian assassin (with thighs of steel) who even cuts off her arm to evade capture. She also sandwiched two European flicks, the moribund "The Night & the Moment" (1994) and the slick Swedish actioner "Hamilton" (1998), around Sidney Lumet's "Night Falls on Manhattan" (1997), in which she romanced Andy Garcia.
An instinctual actress who won't look at rushes for fear she might inhibit herself and start to think, Olin completely disdains the perks of stardom, and her indifference to celebrity makes her cautious around the press. Few of her peers, however, can play the complicated, ambiguous characters which are her staple, figures existing on several emotional levels at once, often on the edge of madness. In Teresa Connelly's "Polish Wedding" (1998) she relished her role as a strong-willed mother of five who, although her family means everything to her, still tries to capture the excitement of her youth through illicit love. Olin had a small role as psychiatrist to Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush) in the superhero send-up "Mystery Men" (1999) and then performed her determined hellcat routine with gusto as a leader of a satanic cult for Roman Polanski's "The Ninth Gate", its US release moved back three months to March 2000 to give a little more separation between it and another supernatural picture also starring Johnny Depp, Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow".
The actress finally achieved the long-held dream of working with her director husband Lasse Hallstrom on "Chocolat" (2000), a delicious morality play with a subtle message about tolerance. Cast as Josephine, a kleptomaniac and abused wife who is shunned by the townspeople, Olin was terrific in the part, particularly in the character's transformation from mousy doormat to chocolate maker under the watchful eye of the mysterious Vianne (Juliette Binoche). Having done some of her best work in years, she followed up as the maternal vampire Maharet in "Queen of the Damned" (2001), based on Anne Rice's novel. Olin resurfaced on American television in 2002 in the form of the "Alias" (2002- ) recurring character Irina Derevko/Laura Bristow, the mysterious double agent mother of lead character Syndney Bristow (Jennifer Garner). Despite an impressive performance, an impasse in contract negotiations ultimately led her to ultimately leave the series.
She also was featured in a high profile role as Harrison Ford's love interest in writer-director Ron Shelton's action comedy "Hollywood Homicide" (2003). Meanwhile, the actress starred as Maria, the mother in an American family that moves into an old house in the remote countryside of Spain, in director Jaume Balaguero's second stab at the horror genre, "Darkness" (2004). Though filmed in 2001, it was released in the United States in December 2004 to poor reviews and mediocre box office. Olin's next effort "Casanova" (2005), director Lasse Hallstrom's fictionalized account of the legendary lothario (Heath Ledger) falling in love at last, was easily one of the most ill-conceived and disappointing films of the year, despite lavish production values and game performances by Olin--as the debt-ridden noblewoman who enters her daughter (Sienna Miller) into a marriage of convenience--and the rest of the all-star cast.

Notes |
"He sees life as black as you can, but he sees the humor in it. I never laugh as much as when I watch Strindberg." - Olin to Rolling Stone, March 8, 1990 |
"Since Robert Redford is this huge American star, I didn't know what it would be like to work with him. But he has remained so curious about things. He hasn't turned into a stone which I think would be easy if you are pampered as the American stars are." - Olin quoted in The Guardian, Jan. 17, 1991 |
About Ingmar Bergman's influence on her: "He taught me that it's important that there be mystery about acting. There should be unpredictability. One shouldn't look at it too closely. You should care only about how to use your body, your voice. He's very practical and he taught me that at an early age." - Olin to David Rensin in Playboy, February 1991 |
"I have such a hard time enjoying life, because it's passing all the time, and I just can't relax and let that be. It's like overcoming death every second you live. I think making movies is my way of dealing with the kind of despair that comes from knowing life is passing." - Olin to Peter Hedges in Harpers Bazaar, March 1993 |
On the type of roles she looks for: "Every time a woman does something bad or strange on screen, there's always this need to explain, she'll talk about not being able to have babies or being abused or abandoned, because male screenwriters feel guilty about writing a bad woman. But I'm looking for egocentric female characters, women who do strange and awful things, because it's fun and it's true." - Olin quoted in the Daily News, Feb. 8, 1994 |
On frequently being cast as violent, wayward vengeful women, Olin told The Independent (Feb. 16, 2001): "I love that kind of character, because I have access to so much fury. I can bring it on so easily. It comes so naturally to me. I'm a kind person in general, but I've always had access to this anger. I wasn't very big when I grew up, but I always took pride that no matter what, I can be tougher than anyone else. And I am fearless - I do not care." When asked if she still has a violent temper, Olin replied: "Yes, I do. When I feel threatened or afraid, I can lose my temper in an instant. It's a very useful tool for an actor to have that kind of anger, but I can control myself when I have to." |

Tried it - no hits on my surname.
Charles Vaclav, Florida USA - AnonymousJune 5, 2013 at 1:22 AM
You have a great blog, thank you for putting all this together.
Would you be willing to answer 2 name questions, please?
1. The oldest written American English spelling of our Czech name (from 1882) is BURIJANEK. What is the likely correct Czech spelling with Diacritics?
2. Any thoughts on the meaning of the name? (family legend suggests is is a diminutive for male sheep (little ram)
Thank you for any help you can give
Shelley Buranek Thanks! I tried this for my great grandfather (Vaclav Kostelak) and found nothing and for my great grandmother (Anna Krizek) and found two Krizeks residing in Praha. I am having a very difficult time finding any information on the last name Kostelak. Any info on this name would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this information. I found many for my maiden name( Bartl) which is of Austrian/German origin, but very few for my great-great- grandmother's surname, Czerwenka.

It's August. Rivers in the region are supposed to be in late-summer repose. Lakes and sloughs and tributaries are supposed to be low or dry in anticipation of winter and the sure-to-come spring runoff in 2012.
It's just not happening that way in the Upper Midwest's summer of the monsoon.
The Red River at Fargo likely will flirt with 28 feet soon, some 10 feet above minor flood stage. Low-lying streets, bike paths and golf courses that routinely go under in spring ... will be under in late summer.
The Sheyenne River at Valley City is expected to crest at about 16 feet, a level that prompted the city to mobilize for a possible flood fight and compelled Barnes County to issue a flood emergency. Major flood stage is 17 feet. Downstream, the bloated Sheyenne will threaten Lisbon, Kindred, Fort Ransom and thousands of rural farm acres and miles of rural roads.
The rain spigot has not shut off as it usually does in late July and August. Indeed, Fargo has already surpassed normal August rainfall.
All this, and more, suggests the vast Red River Valley watershed, which includes the Sheyenne River drainage, the Devils Lake Basin and much of the high-water Minnesota lakes country, will freeze up with high water in lakes and rivers.
Scientists who pay close attention to the flood outlook recently took the extraordinary step of warning that late-summer conditions are cause for ''a certain level of concern and implications for 2012.'' That's cautious talk regarding the potential for a big valley flood. A ''potentially precarious hydrologic condition'' is how the experts put it. They've suggested that even with normal winter snowfall, the valley could be in for a serious flood.
That's what they know now. While conditions could change for the better, a wet weather pattern shows no signs of ending, the experts say. The smart option: Be ready for what likely will be major flood No. 4 in as many years.
- The Forum of Fargo, N.D.
Opinion: Other Voices: Poll shows no confidence
The tea party's triumph in the debate over how to reduce the national debt produced a resounding vote of no-confidence. A New York Times/CBS News Poll showed a record 82 percent voter disapproval of Congress.
Reverberations continued as Standard & Poor's delivered the first-ever downgrade of U.S. debt by a major credit rating agency and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 600 points.
But Americans are not helplessly caught in the downward spiral. The problem is a political one, and there is a political solution: Do not support candidates for public office who commit themselves to uncompromising ideological purity.
Eighty-two percent of Americans disapprove of the performance of Congress because any hint of a compromise to produce a substantial debt-reduction package was blocked by tea party intransigence and congressional leadership was unable to rein it in.
The sequence of events, which brought the nation to the brink of default, has raised the question of whether or not America's political system is capable of reviving the U.S. economy. It is, of course. The heart of that system is the electorate ... Time will tell if the mood will last.

Opinion: Other Voices: Accessible city data sets example
Making information public does no good if it's difficult to find it.
The city of Sioux Falls has made finding the salaries of city employees easier on its website. The list is alphabetical by last name and grouped by department. That makes it simple to scan and find the information you're looking for.
We applaud Mayor Mike Huether and the city for making the information more accessible.
And it's a good example for the rest of the state. Current state salary websites require exact name spellings to find information. That can be challenging. If the city can make this change, the state can, too.
We hope Sioux Falls is setting an example for open government, transparency, ease of use and attention to detail with the city salary website.

United States Senator
December 13, 2007
Opening Statement of Chairman Patrick Leahy
Executive Business Meeting
December 13, 2007
This week we have held three more important hearings before the Committee. I have noticed two more hearings next week to consider several of the President's Executive Branch nominees. Regrettably, many of those announced for top Justice Department positions were not, in fact, nominated when announced, and even after those nominations were finally received, many still lack the necessary background checks and materials necessary to be considered. We are proceeding expeditiously with the nomination of Mark Filip to be the Deputy Attorney General and will hear from him next Wednesday. I noticed that hearing immediately upon receiving the nomination and background materials.
This week's agenda includes a number of items I had hoped the Committee would have considered last week but that were carried over. We begin with the resolutions arising from the failures of Karl Rove and the President's chief of staff to honor this Committee's subpoenas. As the Ranking Member has said, when we issue subpoenas, we need to follow up. We have worked together during the last week to modify the language in the resolutions and I believe we can proceed efficiently this morning to consider and approve those items. The White House's blanket claims of executive privilege and immunity are insufficient to excuse current and former White House employees from appearing, testifying and producing documents related to this Committee's investigation. Having been directed to comply with the Committees' subpoenas, they have not done so and now we must take the next steps to enforce the Committee's subpoenas. This is not a step I have wanted to take -- in fact, I have tried for many months to find ways to work with the White House and avoid a confrontation.
The President has not accepted responsibility for the firings or given any indication that he was involved in White House efforts to politicize federal law enforcement. Instead, the White House line is that "mistakes were made." Apparently no one, least of all the President, is responsible, yet somehow executive privilege supposedly applies to cloak all White House activities and communication in regards to these firings affecting the independence and integrity of federal law enforcement from oversight.
The White House counsel asserts that executive privilege covers all documents and information in the possession of the White House. They have gone further and claimed absolute immunity even to have to appear and respond to this Committee's subpoenas for Mr. Rove and Mr. Bolten. And they contend that their blanket claim of privilege cannot be tested but must be accepted by the Congress as the last word. Their views of the unitary and all powerful Executive know no bounds.
The position taken by this White House in refusing to turn over documents or allow White House officials and former officials to testify is a dramatic break from the practices of every administration since World War II in responding to congressional oversight. In that time, presidential advisers have testified before congressional committees 74 times, either voluntarily or compelled by subpoenas.
Executive privilege should not be invoked to prevent investigations into wrongdoing, and certainly should not prevail. These resolutions are an effort to provide a fuller account and accountability. We should act to protect Congress' ability to conduct oversight and the right of the American people to learn the whole truth about the U.S. Attorney firings.
During the past week we have learned that the CIA destroyed videotapes of detainee interrogations. That revelation is leading to another investigation. As the Ranking Member on this Committee from 2001 through 2005, I was not informed of the existence of the videotapes or of their destruction. I do not believe the Republican Chairmen were either. I have repeatedly sought information about the Administration's interrogations of detainees, including in connection with the consideration of the Mukasey nomination and my October 25, 2007, letter to the White House counsel. We continue doing so. This week Senator Specter and I jointly wrote the Attorney General seeking information relevant to the tapes, their destruction and the preliminary inquiry now underway within the Executive Branch. Surely, Congress must retain the authority to investigate and even subpoena relevant information without being foreclosed by blanket claims of executive privilege. I ask unanimous consent that an editorial from Vermont's Rutland Herald about the destruction of these tapes be included in the record.
We will next turn to Senator Specter's bill to use the legal concept of substitution as an alternative to retroactive immunity in connection with the warrantless wiretapping of Americans contrary to law from 2001. I commend his constructive effort and look forward to that discussion.
Also on our agenda is our bipartisan bill to adjust judicial pay. I introduced this bipartisan legislation with Senators Hatch, Feinstein, Graham, Reid, and McConnell almost six months ago. It was the first bill introduced on this matter following the plea from the Chief Justice at the beginning of the year. This bill would authorize an increase in federal judicial salaries to recognize the important constitutional role judges play in administering justice, interpreting our laws, and providing the ultimate check and balance in our system of government. Since 1969, the salaries of federal judges have significantly declined when adjusted for inflation.
Eight years ago, Congress saw fit to double the President's salary to $400,000 a year. We are not proposing to increase judges' salaries by 100 percent, but by half that. Our democracy and the rights we enjoy depend on a strong and independent Judiciary. Surely we can do half as much for the judicial branch of government as we did for the Executive eight years ago. This was a key subject in the Chief Justice's annual report for this year and I would like this Committee to act on it today.
I trust that the Republican holdover of the bill for the reauthorization of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will not portend further delay and that we can consider and report that measure without complications.
I urge all Members who have not yet arrived to come and participate with us in the work of the Committee.

Statement of Chairman Patrick Leahy
On S. 1829, the Protect Our Children First Act of 2007,
Senate Judiciary Committee, Executive Business Meeting
December 13, 2007
Today we consider three important pieces of child safety legislation. We can all agree that we should do everything we can to protect our children from being victimized by predators. I am pleased that we have before us three bills that take important steps toward this goal: the Protect Our Children First Act, the Internet Safety Education Act, and the KIDS Act.
I am delighted that Senator Hatch agreed to join with me as the lead cosponsor to introduce the Protect Our Children First Act, which reauthorizes the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Senator Hatch and I have worked together many times over the years on legislation to protect the safety and welfare of our children, and I thank him for his continued leadership. I am disappointed that we could not pass this bipartisan, consensus bill out of Committee last week because of an anonymous hold, but I am pleased that we can move it today.
It pains us all to see on TV and in the newspapers photo after photo of missing children from all around our country. As a father and grandfather, I can imagine that an abducted child is any parent's worst nightmare. Unfortunately, it is a nightmare that happens all too often. Indeed, the Justice Department estimates that 2,200 children are reported missing each day. There are approximately 114,600 attempted stranger abductions every year, with 3,000 to 5,000 of those attempts succeeding. These families deserve the assistance of the American people and a helping hand from Congress and from federal agencies.
As the Nation's top resource center for child protection, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children spearheads national efforts to locate and recover missing children and raises public awareness about ways to prevent child abduction, molestation and sexual exploitation. Further, NCMEC works to make our children safer by acting as a national voice and advocate for those too young to vote or speak up for their own rights.
The Center operates under a congressional mandate and works in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to coordinate the efforts of law enforcement officers, social service agencies, elected officials, judges, prosecutors, educators, the United States Marshals Service, and the public and private sectors to break the cycle of violence that historically has perpetuated these needless crimes against children. Child advocates like John Walsh, who was supportive of the Congress's work to enact the National Center's charter, also continue to support the Center's vital mission.
The Center's professionals have busy jobs. They have worked on more than 127,700 cases of missing and exploited children since its 1984 founding, helping to recover more than 110,200 children. The Center raised its recovery rate from 64 percent in the 1990s to 96 percent today. It has set up a nationwide, toll free, 24-hour telephone hotline to take reports about missing children and clues that might lead to their recovery, a National Child Pornography Tipline to handle calls from individuals reporting the sexual exploitation of children through the production and distribution of pornography, and a CyberTipline to process online leads from individuals reporting the sexual exploitation of children. The Center has taken the lead in circulating millions of photographs of missing children, and it serves as a vital resource for the 17,000 law enforcement agencies located throughout the Nation in the search for missing children and in the pursuit of adequate child protection.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children manages to do all of this good work with an annual Justice Department grant, which is set to expire after fiscal year 2008. We must act now to extend its authorization so that it can continue to help keep children safe and families intact around our Nation.
The Internet Safety and Education Act recently introduced by Senator Menendez also makes important strides in teaching our children about internet safety. The grant program created under this bill will give educators and parents the tools necessary to teach proper online interactions and promote safe Internet usage to their students and children in an age-appropriate manner. At a time when more and more youth are using the Internet to communicate, it is essential that we utilize programs that teach our children how to use the Internet safely.
I have also been glad to work with Senator Schumer on the KIDS Act. He has worked in good faith to make improvements to the bill, and I appreciate all he has done on the legislation. I hope that the Committee will pass all three bills cleanly so that they may quickly be enacted into law to help keep our children safer.

Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy,
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee
On S. 1638, the Federal Judicial Salary Restoration Act of 2007
Executive Business Meeting
December 13, 2007
Today I hope we can turn to the Federal Judicial Salary Restoration Act of 2007. I introduced this bipartisan legislation with Senators Hatch, Feinstein, Graham, Reid, and McConnell almost six months ago. This bill would authorize an immediate and significant increase in federal judicial salaries to recognize the important constitutional role judges play in administering justice, interpreting our laws, and providing the ultimate check and balance in our system of government. Since 1969, the salaries of federal judges have significantly declined when adjusted for inflation.
Eight years ago, Congress saw fit to double the President's salary to $400,000 a year. We are not proposing to increase judges' salaries by 100 percent, but by half that -- by 50 percent.
Our democracy and the rights we enjoy depend on a strong and independent Judiciary. If judges leave the bench for financial reasons, the independence of the Judiciary is compromised. Surely we can do half as much for the judicial branch of government as we did for the Executive eight years ago.

Clinton Arrives in Cairo as Bus Bomb Rocks Tel Aviv
Posted: 6:08 AM Nov 21, 2012
Reporter: AP
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has arrived in Cairo in her diplomatic push to forge a truce between Israel and Gaza rulers of Hamas, hours after a bomb exploded on an Israeli bus in Tel Aviv, wounding 10.
Clinton will meet with Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi on Wednesday to piece together a deal to end Israel's weeklong offensive in the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 130 Palestinians. Militant rocket fire into Israel has killed five Israelis.
Clinton said the U.S. "strongly condemns" the bus bombing, calling it a "terrorist attack."
The cease-fire efforts come with thousands of Israeli troops massed on the Gaza border, awaiting a possible order to invade. Clinton met with the Israeli prime minister and the Palestinian president before heading to Cairo.

It's almost here. In about 49 hours, she'll be landing in Portland and on her way to adventure. You may or may not know, but Oregon just got hammered with three consecutives storms over the weekend. First one brought snow to the mountains. 6" in the coast range and 40 some inches in the Cascades. Second and third brought wind 120mph plus to the coast and dumped over 12" of rain in the coast range. Many of the major highways to the coast remain closed due to hundreds of Douglas Firs coming down and across the roads. Other highways are currently flooded. I-5 is closed in Chehalis, Wa and will remain so for a few more days due to floods. Hwy 101 on the coast is closed to the north and south of the marina we'll be staying (Maybe?) at. I'm going to attempt to go there tomorrow with the motorhome and see if my trailer is still there. A little 12' fiberglass camp trailer may not have withstood the wind, or may have floated away with the flood. Who knows at this point. Power and phone service is down for the time being. Whatever happens, we're going to have some fun. The rivers that flooded are dropping like a rock and should be fishable by the weekend (hopefully). Crabbing will not be any good, unfortunately. They tend to go back into the ocean when the bays fill up with muddy fresh water. We'll be taking lots of pics of the TIE's adventure back to Oregon where it started the year. We'll keep you posted.
sorry to hear `bout the weather! I hope it mops up well befor MG gitts out there..... we had a cold spell with a light drizzle but not much wind here?
MG we hope you have a great adventure! bring the MP3 player and fishing mags for the plane ride...can't wait to see some pix & read the stories.......
Good luck MG and Dave. Hope you get into some nice fish.
Hi there Dave.
That was a heck of a storm we got. We even had snow here and that dosen't happen often LOL. I saw a news report from Seattle and the Salmon were swimming in the streets, lol. I sure hope you will be able to sort things out for MG,s adventure. Good luck to you all down there.

By Anna Yukhananov and Kim Dixon
WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and Republican lawmakers concurred on Thursday that overhauls of the corporate and individual tax codes should be tackled together, but their agreement ended there.
Diverging sharply on whether new federal revenues should be raised from the affluent, Lew and the Republicans left prospects for comprehensive tax reform cloudy amid persistent partisan conflict on Capitol Hill over tax-and-spending policy.
A day after the White House released a 2014 budget plan it hoped could spark a deal with Congress on cutting deficits and changing the tax code, Lew testified before the House of Representatives' tax-law writing Ways and Means Committee.
Democratic President Barack Obama last year proposed a revamp of the business tax code alone, but Republicans said corporate and individual taxes must be reformed in unison. Lew assured Republicans that Obama agreed with that strategy. 'Just intellectually, one has to look at it as a whole,' he said.
Obama called for $580 billion in new revenue from the wealthy in his 2014 budget on Wednesday, including a new minimum tax and curbs to deductions.
Most Republicans criticized the budget as too reliant on raising taxes and inadequate in cutting spending.
Republican Representative Dave Camp, the chairman of the committee, said the tax code should lower rates for all Americans instead of bringing more money into Washington.
'This budget is a first step, but America can do better than what the president is proposing here,' he said.
Lew said any agreement must include new revenue.
In his confirmation hearing in February, Lew called tax reform a top priority. Formerly a two-time budget director and Obama's chief of staff, Lew helped pass the nation's last major tax overhaul in 1986 as a congressional staff member.
At a breakfast earlier on Thursday, Camp praised Obama, saying he has 'evolved' by explicitly pledging not to raise total corporate taxes as part of a tax overhaul.
Prior budgets had been unclear on that point, and the business community was worried that corporate tax breaks would be trimmed to help curb deficits.
Democratic congressman Jim McDermott complained that Obama kept offering Republicans compromises, such as the White House proposal to change the inflation adjustment for Social Security, but Republicans gave nothing in return.
'The president continues to reach out .... and Republicans say, 'Yeah we'll take that, but we don't want to take any of the balance that has to go along with it,' ' McDermott said, referring to revenue.
Lew also said the administration is willing to talk to Republicans about moving to a territorial tax system, which would largely exempt big companies' foreign income from taxation. But Lew said protections would be vital to prevent companies from moving domestic profits offshore.
Both parties are also largely opposed to a tax on financial transactions, a popular idea in Europe to make banks pay for the help they got during the financial crisis. Lew on Thursday repeated the Obama administration's opposition to that tax.
Lew also repeated the White House was opposed to using the nation's debt limit as a bargaining chip for fiscal policy.
Republicans have previously balked at raising the debt ceiling without an agreement on further government spending cuts, and are likely to revive the issue this summer after the current suspension of the debt limit expires on May 19.
Once the United States breaches its debt limit, the government would no longer be able to borrow money and make certain payments - though the Treasury can use emergency cash measures to push off the day of reckoning into July.
Some Republicans have proposed legislation to prioritize U.S. payments on government bonds if the United States hits its debt limit in order to avoid a credit default. The moves show their willingness for further brinkmanship.
'There's no way you can choose about paying your bills without being in default on one or another obligation,' Lew said.

Dec 21, 2011
Coverage of the 2012 presidential race reached its second highest level of the year last week and the campaign narrative increasingly focused on the battle between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, fueled in part by conservative commentators beginning to weigh in on the choice between them.
From December 12-18, the campaign accounted for 27% of the newshole, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, up from 24% the previous week.
That marks the fifth time in seven weeks that that the campaign has been the top story in the U.S. news media as measured by PEJ's News Coverage Index, which tracks the media agenda by monitoring 52 different news outlets from newspapers, online, cable news, broadcast news and on radio.

Hugo Chavez wants to rename Angel Falls
Amongst the local Pemon people, Angel Falls is known as Kerepakupai-Meru, which means "waterfall of the deepest place" in their tribal language. On his weekly television show, Chavez, who has a contentious relationship with the United States, asked his countrymen how they felt about the falls being named after the American aviator, and then proposed the change after fumbling with the pronunciation a few times. The Venezuelan President went on to say that the landmark, which is one of his country's biggest tourist attractions, had been seen by many indigenous people before Angel ever arrived on the scene. He concluded his declaration by saying "No-one should refer to Angel Falls any more."
Despite the fact that the falls are a major draw for tourists, there are few resources available to make it an easy place to visit. Going to the falls requires a flight to Canaima camp, where visitors can board small wooden boats during the rainy season, and approach the falls from below. Those that make the trip, are treated to quite the natural wonder.
The current name for that natural wonder is now open to debate.

"No-one should refer to Angel Falls any more." Once again, Venezuela's semi-illiterate master tells his cowering subjects how to behave.
Doug Dec 23rd 2009 2:57PM
I'm certain the Venezuelan president said the quoted line in Spanish. I'd check the accuracy of the translation before calling him names.
John Dec 23rd 2009 10:17PM
I speak Spanish and i've heard Chavez speak. Trust me, he's a semi-illiterate thug that rose through the ranks and then got elected on platform based on envy. Once on top, he has now become a dictator.
Poor Venezuela, cry for the beloved country
Rupesh12 Dec 24th 2009 12:36AM
This gigantic fall that it is as many as 16 times higher than Niagara Falls and three times higher than the great Eifel Towers. The height of the falls is so great that before getting anywhere near the ground, the water is atomized by the strong winds and turned into mist. The mist can be felt a mile away.

I think what people call the falls is irrelevant. What is relevant is Dictator Chavez' edict " No one should refer to Angel Falls anymore"!!!!!!!!

It makes sense to take it back to its original name. Why have names given by those who were not really of that land. I like this idea.
Katie Dec 25th 2009 7:34PM
why would they change the name after all these years it is just stupid. this chavez person needs to get over himself
Sierra Dec 25th 2009 4:36PM
This is no different than the white people changing Pohono to Bridalveil. Who are the foreigners (meaning outsiders to the area in question) to say what a local landmark should be called? Especially when it's something that's been around for eons.
As it says in the article...
"The Venezuelan President went on to say that the landmark, which is one of his country's biggest tourist attractions, had been seen by many indigenous people before Angel ever arrived on the scene."
I don't believe in his way of doing business, however, he did speak the truth here.
Antonio Balangue Dec 27th 2009 11:52AM
I've always thought that it had a Spanish name, "angel" in Spanish being the same word, but pronounced differently. A capital addition to what facts I carry in my brain.
Tom Dec 25th 2009 5:03PM
Who cares what Mr.self important calls the falls. Let him call it whatever he likes and keep the name of record in the Western world as Angel Falls. "Waterfall of the deepest place" well if that isn't the most descriptive name I've ever heard. If they only use his new anti-American name in Venezula maybe it will show him how really unimportant in the grand scheme of things he really is. Same thing with Bridal Veil, the native people are free to call it what ever they like and if the"white" people care to refer to it by a different name so be it. Being that the falls was only able to be viewed by aircraft at the time it was discovered by the "civilized" world its only natural that no one consulted with the native people as to what names existed for the falls. It sure seems that there are a lot of Native American names in common use in the US for our natural wonders (lakes,rivers,mountains,forests) to make blanket statements regarding the practices of "white" people to rename land formations.
Sierra Dec 25th 2009 9:07PM
But, it wasn't "only able to be viewed by aircraft at the time it was discovered by the "civilized" world." It just happens that's how it was discovered -- as far as we know.
If you think for a minute it could only be seen from an airplane, I'd like to know how the indigenous people saw it to give it a name.
I guess, if you feel that we should be able to call things whatever we want to call them, you'd be the first one to pat some guy on the back for calling your kid (who was named after you), Sherman *LOL* As they say, what's in a name?
Duke Dec 25th 2009 6:56PM
The Citgo station in my neighborhood has closed. People read that Citgo is owned by Hugo Chavez and stopped going there. Iran is building 4 oil platforms off the Venezuelan coast. Iran would love to get come missiles closer to the USA. So yes Hugo Chavez is to be watched very carfully, and taken seriously.
Linda Wilson Dec 25th 2009 7:03PM
They shouldn't rename Angel Falls. I went to high school with Jimmy Angels son, Roland, and he was very proud of the Falls, named after his father. I hope that the name Angel Falls remain.
James Dec 25th 2009 7:22PM
He can call the falls anything he wants. I shall call them Angel Falls. Idiot!
Sal Dec 25th 2009 7:39PM
As much as I think that the name should stay, simply because that is what history has called it...I also think he has every right to rename it if he wants. I am not sure how we would react if, say, Afghanistan named the White House something of their liking. A time would come, I think, where we would want control of what was named, and name it.
It's easy to say that they are self-centered and egotistical. But so are we. Its called Nationalism. We have EXTREME Nationalism here. We are very ethno-centric. There is nothing wrong with that. But it does come off to other people as being rude. Just remember, they are just like that in that aspect.
Whatever the name, it is what it is.

Resolution No. 5 on Cartography, statistics, terminology and regional planning
I. The ministers,
1. Recalling that at their 1st Conference (Bonn, 1970) they decided to put into effect a programme of co-operation in the field of regional planning cartography, statistics and terminology and to give it priority (Final Resolution, paragraphs 43-46);
2. Having, at their 2nd Conference, considered the report entitled "European co-operation in the field of regional planning cartography, statistics and terminology" and the series of background papers prepared by the Committee of Senior Officials;
3. Again stressing the importance they attach to the use of thematic cartography (automated as far as possible) as a means of expressing and illustrating a European regional planning policy;
4. Considering that appropriate administrative, technical and scientific machinery should be set up to enable work on cartography, regional statistics and terminology to go forward;
5. Considering that the creation of a specialised institute could, in the long term, offer the best solution;
6. Instruct the Committee of Senior Officials
i. to see to the execution of the following programme:
a. to continue its work and to prepare an initial series of European thematic maps;
b. to make a more detailed study of the application of computer techniques to regional planning cartography;
c. to analyse the role played by cartography, statistics and terminology in the preparation of national physical planning strategies and thereby to attempt a synthesis which could help identify regional planning problems occurring at European level;
d. to institute a framework for close co-operation between cartographers (in their capacity as users) and statisticians (in their capacity as producers of data), particularly in association with the specialised international organisations;
e. to organise European co-operation in the management of statistical data (data banks) through an exchange of software and the organisation of a European network for the assembly of statistical data, suited to the requirements of automated cartography;
f. to continue work on the harmonisation of regional planning terminology in connection with the preparation of European thematic maps;
g. to organise a series of European seminars comprising a short-term, medium-term and long-term programme, for the benefit of cartographers and national officials responsible for regional planning; the first seminar of this series due to be held at the Institute of Cartography in Enschede, Netherlands, in 1975;
h. to study the possibility of creating an institute specialising in European cartography, subject to having established beforehand that its objectives cannot be achieved by cartography institutes already in existence in member countries;
ii. to entrust this work to a committee of experts answerable to the Committee of Senior Officials and through that committee to the Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning.
