It's normal to feel nervous in some social situations. Going on a date or giving a presentation may cause that feeling of butterflies in your stomach, for instance. But in social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, everyday interactions cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness and embarrassment.
Social anxiety disorder is a chronic mental health condition, but treatment such as psychological counseling, medication and learning coping skills can help you gain confidence and improve your ability to interact with others.
Social anxiety disorder affects your emotions and behavior. It can also cause significant physical symptoms.
Emotional and behavioral social anxiety disorder signs and symptoms include:
Physical social anxiety disorder signs and symptoms include:
When you have social anxiety disorder, you realize that your anxiety or fear is out of proportion to the situation. Yet you're so worried about developing social anxiety disorder symptoms that you avoid situations that may trigger them. This type of worrying creates a vicious cycle that can make symptoms worse.
See your doctor or mental health provider if you fear and avoid normal social situations because they cause embarrassment, worry or panic. If this type of anxiety disrupts your life, causes severe stress and affects your daily activities, you may have social anxiety disorder or another mental health condition that requires treatment to get better.
Feelings of shyness or discomfort in certain situations aren't necessarily signs of social anxiety disorder, particularly in children. Comfort levels in social situations vary from individual to individual due to personality traits and life experiences. Some people are naturally reserved and others are more outgoing. What sets social anxiety disorder apart from everyday nervousness is that its symptoms are much more severe, causing you to avoid normal social situations.
Common, everyday experiences that may be difficult to endure when you have social anxiety disorder include:
Social anxiety disorder symptoms can change over time. They may flare up if you're facing a lot of stress or demands. Or if you completely avoid situations that would usually make you anxious, you may not have symptoms. Although avoidance may allow you to feel better in the short term, your anxiety is likely to persist over the long term if you don't get treatment.
Like many other mental health conditions, social anxiety disorder likely arises from a complex interaction of environment and genes. Possible causes include:
Social anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental disorders. It usually begins in the early to midteens, although it can sometimes begin earlier in childhood or in adulthood.
A number of factors can increase the risk of developing social anxiety disorder, including:
Left untreated, social anxiety disorder can be debilitating. Your anxieties may run your life. They can interfere with work, school, relationships or enjoyment of life. You may be considered an "underachiever," when in reality it's your fears holding you back, not your ability or motivation. In severe cases, you may drop out of school, quit work or lose friendships. Social anxiety disorder can cause:
Social anxiety disorder can also result in:
You may start by seeing your family doctor. After your initial appointment, your doctor may refer you to a mental health provider who can help make a firm diagnosis and create the right treatment plan for you.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
In addition to the questions that you've prepared in advance, don't hesitate to ask questions at any time during your appointment.
A doctor or mental health provider who sees you for possible social anxiety disorder may ask:
When you decide to seek treatment for social anxiety disorder symptoms, you may have a physical exam and your doctor will ask a number of questions. The physical exam can determine if there may be any physical causes triggering your symptoms. Answering questions will help your doctor or mental health provider find out about your psychological state.
There's no laboratory test to diagnose social anxiety disorder, however. Your doctor or mental health provider will ask you to describe your signs and symptoms, how often they occur and in what situations. He or she may review a list of situations to see if they make you anxious or have you fill out psychological questionnaires to help pinpoint a diagnosis.
To be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, a person must meet criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Criteria for social anxiety disorder to be diagnosed include:
Social anxiety disorder shares symptoms with other psychological disorders, including other anxiety disorders. Your mental health provider will want to determine whether one of these other conditions may be causing your social anxiety, or if you have social anxiety disorder along with another mental health disorder. Often, social anxiety occurs along with other mental health conditions, such as substance abuse problems, depression and body dysmorphic disorder.
The two most common types of treatment for social anxiety disorder are medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy). These two approaches may be used in combination.
Psychological counseling (psychotherapy) improves symptoms in most people with social anxiety disorder. In therapy, you learn how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most common type of counseling for anxiety. This type of therapy is based on the idea that your own thoughts — not other people or situations — determine how you behave or react. Even if an unwanted situation won't change, you can change the way you think and behave.
Cognitive behavioral therapy may also include exposure therapy. In this type of therapy, you gradually work up to facing the situations you fear most. This allows you to become better skilled at coping with these anxiety-inducing situations and to develop the confidence to face them. You may also participate in skills training or role-playing to practice your social skills and gain comfort and confidence relating to others.
Your mental health professional may help you develop relaxation or stress management techniques.
Several types of medications are used to treat social anxiety disorder. However, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often the first type of medication tried for persistent symptoms of social anxiety. SSRIs your doctor may prescribe include:
The serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine (Effexor) also may be an option for social anxiety disorder.
To reduce the risk of side effects, your doctor will start you at a low dose of medication and gradually increase your prescription to a full dose. It may take up to three months of treatment for your symptoms to noticeably improve.
Your doctor or mental health provider may also prescribe other medications for symptoms of social anxiety, including:
Don't give up if treatment doesn't work quickly. You can continue to make strides in psychotherapy over several weeks or months. And finding the right medication for your situation can take some trial and error.
For some people, the symptoms of social anxiety disorder may fade over time, and medication can be discontinued. Others may need to take medication for years to prevent a relapse.
To make the most of treatment, keep your medical or therapy appointments, take medications as directed, and talk to your doctor about any changes in your condition.
Although social anxiety disorder generally requires help from a medical expert or qualified psychotherapist, you can try some self-help techniques to handle situations likely to trigger your symptoms.
First, consider your fears to identify what situations cause the most anxiety. Then gradually practice these activities until they cause you less anxiety. Begin with small steps in situations that aren't overwhelming.
Situations to practice may include:
At first, being social when you're feeling anxious is challenging. As difficult or painful as it may seem initially, don't avoid situations that trigger your symptoms. By regularly facing these kinds of situations, you'll continue to build and reinforce your coping skills.
The following techniques can help you begin to face situations that make you nervous:
Avoid using alcohol to calm your nerves. It may seem like it helps, but in the long run it can make you feel more anxious.
Certain supplements may help relieve anxiety, although it isn't clear about how much they help or what possible side effects they might have. Some supplements used to treat anxiety include:
Talk to your doctor before taking herbal remedies or supplements to make sure they're safe for you and won't interact with any medications you take.
Some coping methods that may help ease your anxiety include:
Over time, these coping methods can help control your symptoms and prevent a relapse. Remind yourself that you can get through anxious moments, that your anxiety is short-lived, and that the negative consequences you worry about so much rarely come to pass.
There's no way to predict for certain what will cause someone to develop an anxiety disorder in the first place, but you can take steps to reduce the impact of symptoms if you're anxious:

CNHI News Service
SALEM, Mass. — Paul Van Ness hopes Hollywood's move to new technology won't result in the showing of the last picture show at his downtown theater.
In a campaign called "Save Cinema Salem," Ness is trying to raise $60,000 to purchase equipment to convert his Museum Place Mall theater to digital movie projection, a technology upgrade mandated by the Hollywood studios. Without the funds, he says the theater can't stay open, or at least can't continue as a first-run movie house.
"There are already a bunch of movie theaters that have gone out of business because they are not able to come up with the money to go through this transition," Van Ness said. "If we don't succeed in making this transition, there's no way we can stay in business because there will be no films for us to show."
Although his small, first-run cinema has gained a foothold in the community, Van Ness said the business does not have the funds for this large, one-time payment. Thus, he is seeking donations through a website set up to raise money for creative projects and other ventures.
Using a concept called "crowd funding," via Kickstarter, a website set up to raise money for creative projects, is a way for a large number of individuals to make donations to a business or cause. Similar campaigns have been successful at small independent community theaters around the country, Van Ness said.
"It's an opportunity for people to vote for what kind of downtown we want, what kind of movie-going experience we're going to have," he said. "It's kind of a time for people to think about what they value."
Launched Tuesday, the Kickstarter campaign raised more than $2,000 in the first few hours. As of Tuesday night, the total was nearly $12,500.
The Salem Chamber of Commerce has joined the save-the-cinema effort. "The board told me to do anything I can as a chamber director to help Paul be successful in this campaign," said Rinus Oosthoek, executive director of the chamber and an organizer with Van Ness of the Salem Film Fest. "That doesn't happen very often."
"Save CinemaSalem" must receive $60,000 in online pledges by Jan. 14, the deadline for the fund drive. In the all-or-nothing campaign, backers are charged on their credit cards only if the funding goal is reached by the deadline.
The switch to digital projection is necessary because the major Hollywood studios are discontinuing distribution of 35 mm movies, which the industry has used for decades. Most are making the switch next year, Van Ness said.
Instead of shipping heavy boxes containing large movie reels, the studios will send the movies on secure hard drives.

"I loved the program's emphasis on field research. We traveled everywhere and researched a variety of topics in completely different ecosystems. One week our group performed a botanical inventory of a section of spiny forest in the Andohahela National Park. Later we traveled to Ifotaka National Park and studied lemur behavior and habitat. Our field studies unit was a great way to see the country and learn about what makes each region unique."
-- Kate Wright, DePauw University
Explore environmental challenges, conservation, and development strategies in Madagascar, an island nation isolated from neighboring landmasses for more than one hundred million years.
Madagascar's unique evolutionary path has produced immeasurable contributions to the world's biodiversity —more than 80 percent of the flora and fauna in Madagascar are endemic.
This program offers classroom and field-based instruction in natural and social scientific methods to encourage students to analyze environmental issues in an array of ecosystems — including rainforest, dry spiny thicket, alpine and transitional forest, savannah, gallery and littoral forest, mangrove, and coral reef — and within multiple economic, socio-political, and cultural contexts.
Coursework in French and Malagasy, combined with a homestay, a village stay, and numerous excursions to national parks and other protected areas, offer students a balanced social- and natural-science perspective on long-term conservation and the development needs of local populations. Students also spend a couple of weeks doing research with Malagasy students.

Interesting that Tyler Wilson did not make his top 5, most either have him as 2nd or 3rd QB in this draft.
Watching the highlights on DE Ezekial Ansah (BYU) he kinda reminds of JPP or Aldon Smith. Relentless pass-rusher.
Quote from: XFactor on February 16, 2013, 01:12:26 PMInteresting that Tyler Wilson did not make his top 5, most either have him as 2nd or 3rd QB in this draft.noticed that as well. tyler wilson and EJ manuel are both better prospects than nassib and landry jones and id bet the farm that both are drafted before nassib and jones, those two were disasters at the senior bowl and have massive flaws in their games.
Well JDub I hope they play more zone because that is the only time the Bucs defense looked good this past year was in zone.
I think this a strong year for RBs.
Quote from: JDouble on February 16, 2013, 10:58:46 PMI think this a strong year for RBs.Terrible year for RB's. Lacy and Ball are mediocre talents. No one else even sniffs R1 talent and I'm not even sure how many go in R2.

Great Pants
These pants are great! The color in the photo is fairly accurate, but I would say it's closer to a deep chocolate brown than ""slate"". The contrast stitching and side leg pocket are great details. The material arrives stiff but is not uncomfortable. Great buy.
Dallas, TX
Too Much Constrast in Contrasting Stitching
Upon opening the package first thing I noticed was the contrasting stitching was REALLY stood out. More like orange than the muted yellow tone shown on the website. It was too much for me. Disappointed, because they appeared otherwise sturdy and well made, I repacked the box and returned to TA.
Unique Jeans
Nice color and unique details. More casual jean look. Good mix of black, brown and gold colors.
Fort Collins, Colorado
Cool Alternative Pants
I bought these late 2011 and have worn them several times since. A classier alternative to jeans; but, are very versatile. They fit very well and have 2 very nice features - the key fob comes in handy once in a while - and I always use the on-seam leg pocket. I like them enough to try the cumin color this season. Definitely worth your look.
Baltimore, MD USA
I Like'em
Legs are very straight and wide. Slate color is indeed a dark brown in most lights and the stitching which looks white to me in the I-net pic is actually yellow/tan. Cumin color has more yellow in it than shows in the I'net pic. Waist is fine - at least in 36 - but I like pants to be a bit long so ordered 34 and will have them shortened. Didn't think the key holder would be useful but now that I've tried it I like it but you'll have to be careful that the keys banging on the leg don't wear a hole. Leg pocket will be handy for a cell phone if you carry one - I don't - and also for a cash stash if you venture into any unsavory areas. As for a Passport seems small to me but I don't have one to check. One other thing is they have 7 belt loops which you don't see much anymore. Definitely a keeper but a question - why are they call 5 Pocket Twills when they actually have 6?
Fulltime RVer
I bought 2 pair
I got my first pair in the Slate color a couple of years ago. I enjoyed them so much that I wanted them in a different color. I wasn't too sure about the Cumin color. I wondered if they would be 'too Loud'.I got them (Cumin) at the sale price late this past winter - and I am glad I did. The color is kinda nice-'n-different from my usual very conservative dress approach. Actually, they are cool for my 56 years of age. The young folks like them.They fit as well as the Slate color. They wash well, and are made of sturdy cloth that is well-stitched. I recommend as a great alternative to blue jeans and khakis.
Ron Likes TA
I was surprised when I first wore these pants I was afraid of the color until I wore black polo's and tee's with it.I wore them on casual Friday and all of my co-workers liked them.Now I don't hesitate to wear them
Rocky-Face Georgia
Ordered 34x30 in both colors. A chocolate and a cumin color. At this price it's a steal! Wish they were offered in 33" waist as they'd fit perfectly--as is, it's a generous 34" waist. Smart looking, tho. I like all the tweaks so they will serve well. Not a heavy guaged fabric but not thin either. Plenty good for Spring, Summer, Fall wear. me: 5'7", 170 lbs, between 33-34 waist, 29" inseam.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - Here's a weekly look at five of the SEC's top performers in Week 11 and who to watch in Week 12.
It was a losing effort, but Bray threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns and became the SEC's most prolific passer in a 51-48 loss to Missouri. Bray averages 320 yards a game and leads the SEC in yards, yards per game, completions and touchdowns. And because of Tennessee's porous defense the Vols (4-6, 0-6) have needed every one of them. Bray is also tied for the lead in interceptions, despite not throwing any against Missouri.
Tennessee's offense climbed to second in the conference in scoring and total yards and took over the top spot in passing yards after the outing. Two of Bray's passes came in overtime and both tied the game and forced another overtime period. In the fourth OT, the offense was shut out and UT lost by a field goal.
Lawrence had his best game of the season with 153 yards and two touchdowns and helped Missouri overcome a 14-point deficit in route to its win over Tennessee. He was able to take advantage of Tennessee's rushing defense, which is next to last in the SEC, and moved up to fifth in the conference in rushing, averaging nearly 82 yards a game.
Missouri quarterback James Franklin threw for 226 yards and four touchdowns, but the Tigers (5-5, 2-5) gained more yards on the ground than through the air thanks to Lawrence's 153 and Franklin's 43 yards rushing.
The 253 yards passing and 92 yards rushing Manziel picked up are in line with what he does every week, but what was different was that he did it against No. 1 Alabama. Manziel had struggled against tougher defenses, but was able to light up the Crimson Tide (9-1, 6-1) with 20 points in the first quarter en route to the Aggies (8-2, 5-2) victory.
"Johnny Football" has now become the hottest topic in college football, especially his chances at the Heisman Trophy. Manziel hadn't been discussed as a Heisman contender before the 29-24 win over Alabama and now is being looked at as the potential frontrunner. He's the only player in the SEC averaging more than 100 yards rushing per game, is third in passing and second in the nation in total offense.
Now that LSU has discovered its passing game, unfamiliar names are starting to pop up in the box scores. Landry isn't exactly an unfamiliar name, but it was his first 100-yard game of the season and only the second 100-yard receiving game for the Tigers (8-2, 4-2) this year.
Landry is tied for ninth in the conference in receptions per game with four, after grabbing nine balls in the 37-17 win over Mississippi State. LSU's passing offense has climbed into the top 10 in the conference after sitting near the bottom for a few weeks, opening up more opportunities for Landry and LSU's leading receiver Odell Beckham, who is 14th in the conference in yards per game.
Taking advantage of Auburn's rushing defense, which is last in the SEC and ranked No. 104 in the nation, Gurley and Keith Marshall each went over the century mark for the first time in more than a month. Gurley had 116 yards rushing and Marshall picked up 105. Each had one touchdown.
The game moved Gurley into second in the conference in rushing – first among running backs – with 97 yards per game, and pulled Georgia (9-1, 7-1) to within a yard of overtaking Alabama for the No. 2 rushing offense in the SEC. It also helped Georgia clinch a berth to the SEC championship game, where it is likely to meet Alabama.
Vanderbilt is bowl eligible and jockeying for position to the best bowl possible. The SEC is all but guaranteed two teams with BCS bowl berths and there is such a logjam between the third and seventh bowl-eligible teams that even if Vanderbilt could get to eight wins, the best bowl available will be the Music City Bowl, and the Commodores (6-4, 4-3) could probably lose a game – or two – and still go there.
While bowl position isn't likely to improve much, Vanderbilt's rise to success can get a bigger boost with a win over in-state rival Tennessee, which would have the dual effect of eliminating the Vols from bowl contention. Tennessee's passing offense is first in the SEC and Vanderbilt's passing defense is third in the conference. But the Vols have the worst defense in the SEC, and rank 13th in the conference in both passing and rushing defense, as well as last in scoring defense.
If Vanderbilt's passing defense, which is 14th in the nation, can slow Tennessee's aerial assault, the Vols will have to go to the ground, where the Commodores' defense is weaker (10th in the SEC).
Neal averages 74 yards a game and hasn't had a large role in Tennessee's offense due to the success of its passing game and futility on defense. Neal has shown the ability to pick up yards when given the chance, and he will be called on to help Tennessee pick up its first SEC win and stay in the running for a bowl.
Arkansas is on the hunt for bowl eligibility as well, and its passing offense, which is third in the SEC, will face Mississippi's State defense, which has shown in the last three weeks it is not what its earlier numbers suggested.
The Bulldogs (7-3, 3-3) have the No. 8 passing defense in the SEC, allowing 216 yards per game, but surrendered 311 yards to Johnny Manziel two weeks ago and 273 to Zach Mettenberger last week. Alabama's AJ McCarron threw for 208 yards against it as well. A loss eliminates the Razorbacks (4-6, 2-4) from bowl contention, and Mississippi State is desperate to end its three-game skid.
LSU can still make the SEC championship game if Alabama falls to Auburn in two weeks, and the Tigers are in the hunt for a BCS at-large berth, so the Tigers can't afford to take anyone lightly. Mettenberger has stepped up his production significantly the last two weeks and now faces Ole Miss, which has the No. 11 passing defense in the SEC, the worst of the conference teams LSU has faced.
Ole Miss' rushing defense isn't much better, so LSU shouldn't have a problem getting its rushing game going and opening up room for Mettenberger to take advantage.
Ole Miss will have to run the ball against LSU to have a chance, but the Tigers have the No. 2 rushing defense in the SEC – No. 7 in the nation – so it won't be easy. LSU's passing defense is even better – first in the SEC and third in the nation
If Scott can't pick up some yards on the ground to open the field for the passing game, the Rebels (5-5, 2-4) will be forced into a must-win against Mississippi State for bowl eligibility to close the season.

Teamwork, it's pretty important. Whether you're two robots facing an array of insane tests at the behest of an unseen tormentor, or a bunch of plucky robot-piloting teenagers intent on saving your town yet again from some menace that looks like a guy in a monster suit, you have to work together to get the job done. That said, the teenagers would probably end up having an episode about sharing and friendship if one of them didn't work together, while the test robots would likely just get themselves stuck in a recursive loop and end up as tiny robot bits. Really the takeaway here is that teamwork is especially important for robots.

Padres Press Release
Padres reinstate INF Chase Headley from 15-day disabled list and place OF Cameron Maybin on 15-day disabled list
SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres today announced that they have reinstated infielder Chase Headley from the 15-day disabled list and have placed outfielder Cameron Maybin on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to April 16) with a right wrist impingement. Executive Vice President/General Manager Josh Byrnes made the announcement.
Headley, 28, was placed on the 15-day disabled list on March 31, retroactive to March 22, with a fractured left thumb suffered on March 17. In four games with Single-A Lake Elsinore on a rehabilitation assignment, he hit .250 (3-for-12) with a double and two strikeouts. The switch-hitter set career-highs in nearly every offensive category in 2012, hitting .286 (173-for-604) with 31 doubles, two triples, 31 home runs, a National-League leading 115 RBI and 95 runs scored in 161 games played for the Padres.
Maybin, 26, has hit .091 (3-for-33) with a double, a RBI and three runs scored in 10 games played thus far. The right-handed hitter has started 10 of the club's 14 games in center field. Over parts of seven Major League seasons with the Detroit Tigers (2007), Florida Marlins (2008-10) and Padres (2011-13), he has hit .248 (397-for-1604) with 69 doubles, 18 triples, 30 home runs, 131 RBI, 245 runs scored and 85 stolen bases in 462 games played.

By Lori Montgomery and Zachary A. Goldfarb
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — After an election focused heavily on the economy and the soaring national debt, Washington will immediately turn to a year-end debate that has the potential to dramatically affect both: the looming "fiscal cliff."
Unless Congress acts by New Year's Eve, taxes will rise for nearly 90 percent of Americans on Jan. 2, and the White House will be forced to carry out nearly $100 billion in automatic cuts to the Pentagon and other agency budgets.
With neither party on track to take complete control of the White House, Senate and House, the fiscal cliff will require a compromise that has for the past two years eluded President Barack Obama and House Republican leaders. Failure to achieve consensus has the potential to throw the nation back into recession as households absorb a hit to their finances averaging $3,500.
"When we wake up Wednesday morning, the fiscal-cliff clocks will start," said Maya MacGuineas, president of the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "Hopefully, the fiscal cliff will be the excuse for the parties to start working together. Hopefully, it will provide the excuse and cover for both sides to come to the table."
During the campaign, Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney vowed to take very different approaches to the year-end convergence of expiring tax breaks and spending cuts.
As the campaign wound down, it became clear that Obama's reelection would set the stage for an epic battle over taxes and spending with potentially far-reaching consequences. Democrats said a freshly reelected Obama would draw a line in the sand over his demand for increasing tax rates for the wealthy. He would invite Republicans to acquiesce to this demand or risk taking the blame for a dangerous political gridlock, as they did during the 2011 battle over the federal debt limit.
"Republicans face a choice, and the choice is theirs," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, Md., the senior Democrat on the House Budget Committee. "If they want to drive off the fiscal cliff, that means they want to go into January demanding that people like Mitt Romney get a bonus tax break or nobody gets any tax relief."
It was not clear how Republicans would respond. Late Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was expected to repeat his insistence that Republicans stand firm against any increase in taxes, especially for taxpayers who earn more than $250,000. That category includes many business owners.
Democrats said an Obama victory would give him a mandate on the tax issue because the promise to raise taxes on the wealthy was a centerpiece of his campaign. Some senior Republicans agree. For months, Republican tax aides have been at work on ideas for a potential compromise that would keep the top tax rate at 35 percent, as Republicans prefer, while enacting new provisions to extract about $55 billion next year from households earning more than $250,000 a year, meeting Obama's goal to raise taxes on top earners.
Republicans said such a deal, if possible, would hinge on Obama's willingness to rein in the cost of federal entitlement programs, including Social Security and Medicare, the biggest drivers of future borrowing. Obama's most recent budget request proposed only modest trims to federal health-care programs, totaling about $360 billion, and no changes to Social Security.
Obama went further in 2011 budget negotiations with Boehner, offering to raise the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67 and to apply a less-generous measure of inflation to Social Security benefits. However, liberal Democrats are opposed to those changes and others that reduce retirement benefits, while it is not clear that Republicans who have been demanding more fundamental restructuring of Medicare would view even those changes as a sufficient reason to raise taxes.
Absent a compromise on taxes, many Democrats, notably Sen. Patty Murray, Wash., have said they would be willing to let the tax breaks expire and challenge Republicans to reject new legislation to cut rates for 98 percent of Americans. But going over the cliff has the potential for chaos, disrupting the 2012 tax filing season and exposing Democrats to criticism that they were willing to jeopardize the economy for political gain.
During the campaign, Romney said that if elected he would seek a year-long extension of current tax policy, including low rates adopted during the George W. Bush administration, to give his administration time to develop a plan to overhaul the tax code.
Obama has vowed to veto legislation that extends the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy, but administration officials declined to say whether that threat would stand in the face of a Romney victory. Politically, it would be a risky move for Democrats to tell Romney that he cannot have a year to negotiate a budget deal — especially headed into the 2014 election, when 20 Democrats from moderate to conservative states are up for reelection.
Extending those policies is likely to avert a recession, but it would put the nation on track for a fifth straight year of budget deficits hovering in the range of $1 trillion and invite another downgrade of the nation's credit rating. In this scenario, Romney would be forced to act quickly on a broader deficit-reduction plan.
"We'll be on our way to doing tax reform and entitlement reform and an overall budget deal in 2013. And it's got to be done by the August recess," said Ken Kies, a top Republican tax lobbyist. "For a new president, the magic window of opportunity doesn't stay open forever."
During the campaign, Romney pledged to balance the budget within eight years by dramatically slashing most government spending, including Medicaid and other safety-net programs for the poor. He also pledged to increase military budgets and to overhaul the tax code without raising additional revenue.
Instead, Romney's tax plan calls for a 20 percent reduction in rates for all taxpayers, financed by the elimination of tax breaks primarily for the wealthy — a proposal that independent budget analysts have called mathematically impossible. Romney has nonetheless insisted that his tax plan is essential to reviving the economy and creating jobs, the central mission of his first term.

CNHI News Service
— Nation still has racial progress to achieve
New Castle News / New Castle, Pa.
It's been 50 years since the historic March on Washington.
The march — remembered to this day in large part because of a moving and powerful speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — was a poignant and peaceful call for racial equality and programs to end poverty.
So today, a half-century later, the question is being asked: How much have we progressed from that era, and how much farther do we have to go?
The answer, if one is honest, is a mixed bag. Obviously, there have been tremendous gains in the realm of racial equality in this country. That's particularly true when it comes to the law. Racial segregation is no longer legal. The law is now a tool to promote equality, when in the past, it often posed as a barrier.
And it's no small matter that America now has a black president. Such an occurrence would have been unthinkable in 1963.
But race in America is hardly a problem of the past. Statistically, black Americans continue to lag in virtually all economic data compared to whites. There are also gaps when it comes to education, housing and other areas considered crucial for social and economic well being.
And then there is the matter of crime. Black-on-black violence — particularly among young black men — is an epidemic in this country. It is fueled by the drug trade and a subculture that seemingly rejects the value of education and lawful conduct, and many young blacks find themselves living in a world where gang violence and short life spans are conditions to be expected.
What's to blame for this? You can find all sorts of answers, many of them ideologically driven from the left and right. Still, they may have their aspects of truth. In many ways, government programs have lessened the need for community involvement and accountability. Throwing money at a problem does not solve it.
On the other hand, there remains a gulf between the races in America. And so long as problems within black neighborhoods are viewed as something separate from the nation as a whole, they will persist.
Ironically, while President Obama may be well positioned to understand the problems of race in America, he has been unable to do much about it. Obama's status as the nation's first black president makes it difficult for him to tackle race matters head-on.
But they need to be tackled in some fashion — and not just by a president. All Americans have a role in issues of race. That means refusing to pretend problems don't exist or that they are someone else's responsibility.
It also means rejecting those of various colors and political persuasions who find benefit in playing the blame game and avoiding accountability.
The next phase in achieving Martin Luther King's dream must consist of a positive and constructive racial engagement in America. It will be achieved with honesty and humility, not finger pointing and denial.
Politics, big gov't dominate college affordability talks
The Record-Eagle / Traverse City, Mich.
The debate (if it can be elevated to that distinction) over President Obama's proposal to tie future federal financial aid for colleges and universities to a broad new government rating system is instructive -- but not of how to make a college education more affordable or what's best for students.
Instead, it tells us more than we want to know about the dysfunction that is the federal government, the sorry state of our oh-so-partisan politics and the higher education industry. None of it is good.
Obama's stated goal, to keep down college costs, is worthy. But the way his proposal would go about that is classic federal government: give points for not just affordability but a host of other "goals" that may reward schools for things that aren't necessarily part of the equation -- average student loan debt, graduation rates and the average earnings of graduates.
The words were barely out of Obama's mouth when Republicans weighed in. Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said Obama wanted to take "a good idea for one state and (force) all 6,000 institutions of higher education to do the exact same thing ..." The proposal does no such thing, but the claim laid the foundation for a bigger stretch: That Obama wants to turn "Washington into a sort of national school board ..." a claim straight out of the "government is too big" GOP playbook.
For colleges and universities, the proposal could mean millions of federal aid dollars -- an issue much too important to actually take a stand. Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education, a lobbyist for colleges and universities in Washington, commented but said absolutely nothing.
"This is extraordinarily complicated stuff, and it's not clear we have the complete data or accurate data," she said. What's higher ed without data?
An Obama proposal that has gotten little notice probably should get more: create a $1 billion college "Race to the Top" competition to reward states for significant policy changes while containing tuition costs.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that amid all the back and forth, the people not heard from -- or represented -- were students. And it shouldn't be surprising that discussion of the affordability crisis that threatens higher ed got drowned, again, in politics and babble. In the meantime, families will keep looking for ways to give their children a chance at a degree, and students will take on more and more debt.

While images abound of evil black knights rampaging the countryside, these tales are far from the truth. A black knight is a knight not sponsored or employed by a local lord for the defense of his lands. Therefore, the black knight does not have at his disposal the resources needed to keep his armor polished and in good repair. To save face, these knights painted their armor black, to hide any wear and tear that the armor may have endured.
The black knight knelt before the Duke, hoping to end his long bout of unemployment.

In Korean 흑기사 ("Black Knight"), this word would mean someone (generally a guy) who volunteers to take a drink for another person (generally a girl). For a man it's 흑기사 (heuk-gi-sa, "dark knight") or 흑장미 (heuk-jang-mi, "black rose") for women. One can ask someone to be their black knight/rose, or someone can offer to do it, but once you've done it, you're theirs for the rest of the night. If you ask someone and they refuse, then you have to take two drinks.
While playing a drinking game, a girl has had too much to drink but has to take a shot. She can then call out for a Black Knight or Dark Knight and a generous guy may take the drink for her.

Talk all you want about Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Stanford and Oklahoma
These two teams are clearly the cream of the crop this year and don't see either team fading anytime soon. Talk all you want about Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Stanford and Oklahoma but none of those teams should be ranked above a one loss LSU or Bama team. I did not mention Boise State on purpose as until they actually play a real schedule and are involved in a real conference they should not be allowed in the BCS. If Boise State had half the manhood they claim, join the PAC 12 or Big 12. Saturdays came can't get here soon enough as hopefully we will be watching some future BUCS in Morris Claiborne, Tyrann Mathieu and Brandon Taylor. Mo would be our shut down corner, Tyrann would be our Ronde replacement and Brandon Taylor is the glue that holds LSU's top ranked backfield together. There are also a few freshman to keep your eyes on in Freak Johnson, La'el Collins, Odell Beckham, Jr and Jarvis Landry. Long story short hope to see LSU take care of business and then run the table for another BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. On a side note another stud is P Brad Wing but obviously we do not need another P.
"OU has the 8th toughest schedule compared to LSU or Bama who dont even break the top 40 in SOS."Correction..LSU does have the 9th best SOS...so incorrect stat on that previous post.
Funny how people think a 9-6 game in OT makes this game less than what it was - battle of two of the best defenses in recent memory, maybe the best two defensive teams to face each other ever. Yeah, LSU and Alabama have weaknesses at QB but no college team is complete as we have shown Oregon, Florida, West Virginia, Alabama and all others DEFENSE is what wins and with this defense I am not scared of any team outside the SEC. Stanford, please, Oklahoma, yeah we know they get bent over in big games, Oklahoma State, maybe the only team outside the SEC that could make a game interesting and Boise State, never gonna happen.This game was all the hype and then some. It was better than Ohio State Michigan, it was better than some of the Miami FSU games and I could go on. Talk all the smack you want but fact of the matter is what is in the books is all that matters and prior to this game look how LSU not only has won games but DOMINATED games. Alabama is a great team, just not the best team this season.Funny, if this were a Florida team some of you would be all over this as one of the best teams ever. With that being said Urban Meyer needs to shut his pie hole as his BS comments after the game were juvenile and you could read that he is just jealous he will never be on the level of Saban or Miles. Yeah Urbs won a couple National Championships but fact is he could not sustain the Florida program and this is one of the reasons (affair with a co-ed seems to be the other) he walked away.

DENVER — Thousands of miles from the ocean, a museum tells the story of a woman made famous by the Titanic. No, her name was not Rose, and a movie about her life, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," starring Debbie Reynolds as a plucky lifeboat survivor, was a hit decades before Kate Winslet's doomed romance in "Titanic."
Molly Brown was a real person, but the movie created a myth that the museum, located in Brown's Denver home, attempts to dispel.
Born in 1867 to Irish immigrants in Hannibal, Mo., Brown struck it rich, with her husband, from a Colorado gold mine years before she boarded the Titanic, and in later years, she fought for women's suffrage and labor rights.
No one called her Molly during her lifetime — her name was Margaret — and biographer Kristen Iversen, author of "Molly Brown: Unraveling the Myth," writes that there's no proof she ever referred to herself as "unsinkable." The nickname seems to have originated with a Denver gossip columnist who may have been mad that Brown gave her account of the Titanic disaster to a newspaper in Newport, R.I., where she also spent time. Iversen says two books written in the 1930s created the image of Brown as a gun-packing, wisecracking former saloon girl, accounts that became the basis of the Broadway play and later the 1964 musical starring Reynolds. Molly Brown also appears in James Cameron's "Titanic," portrayed by Kathy Bates.
Brown eventually separated from her husband and, unlike on screen, they never reunited. That gave her the freedom to indulge in travel, and in 1912, she headed to Egypt with John Jacob Astor and his wife. She cut the trip short to visit her ailing grandson back in the U.S., and set sail on the Titanic from France, where the ship made one stop to pick up passengers and provisions.

Delivery Devices for Dummies
When you look out at the ice at your club each week, you have undoubtedly noticed that there are several players who are delivering their rock using some form of delivery device (depending on the type of device, these are also referred to as a stabilizer, a crutch or a stick). Some delivery devices are used by players who stand upright while delivering a rock, while others are used by players who slide out of the hack.
As I understand it, delivery devices first became part of the game when the game expanded to include wheelchair curlers. In [...]

Thanks fpr the "middlebuster" pics and explainatio
Rudi , those are really explainatory pictures you posted . Now several questions ---- are any of the following impliments the same as the middlebuster ? soil saver , ripper, subsoiler or chisel plow ? and what is a " hipper" ? How do these middlebusters attach to the tractor ? The same as a mould board ? and finally , what is their real purpose ? Do they dig deep to bust up clay pans ?
For the "hipper", I think that is a typo and he meant Hiller.... that is used to make the rows for veggies, potatoes and such. That is also known as moldboard's for the Cub-144 Cultivator. In the old days they pulled a pair of moldboards connected to a cross bar made of wood with a horse. That is what we call a Horse Hoe around these parts.
Here is the hiller disks for the 144:
and here is the moldboard hiller for the 144:
As for the other question
I am not familiar much with the middlebusters as that is primarily found out west and in the states from what I understand, but by reading a bit it would appear to me that the answer would be probably no. My understanding is that the middle buster is used to bust up the middle of the rows between the tires - which would be the hills made by the moldboards or disks in veggie gardens and maybe a corn field. I think Jim would be a better person to answer this though.
I am really hoping that someone will find and Owner's Manual for the Cub-16 Middlebuster and send a photocopy to post on the server.....
Hope this helps some
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Countershaft, I have seen 3 types of middlebusters. One is for the Cub without hydraulics and one with hydraulics. The lifting arms are different. The other one is bolted to the rear toolbar. All were adjustable from side to side depending on what you were doing. To dig potatoes you put it in the center of the tractor and straddle the row. To dig a trench, you put it behind one of the rear tires. The one that bolts to the rear toolbar is easier to put on, but don't necessarily do the better job.
How effiecient is it to dig potatoes, and where can I find a pic of the version for the Touch Control???
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Rudi, never had a middlebuster to dig potatos with, but I used to take the colter off the molboard plow for my old Homelite garden tractor and run it down the potato ridge each way. Sure cut down on the hand digging.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
It's "Hipper". Not a typo. Could be a "regional" nick name, but when you reference most any online farm journal for an implement for rowing up a seed bed......you get "hipper".
But, in my research on how to "small acreage" farm, I've seen it referenced both ways.
Check out homemade middle buster on my site @ dans farmall cub
"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." -Epictetus
252646 & 221525. 195897 (Gone but not forgotten!)
Hey Countershaft,
I will attempt to answer some of your questions:
1). What is a middlebuster and what is it used for? Well the middlebuster
is used to plow a deep furrow down the "middle" of an existing row
thus turning under the stalks and vegetation from the previous crop.
In effect it moves the rows 1/2 row width left or right from the
previous postion. In addition when you plow an entire field, regardless
of size you will have made "rows". Typically in the south this is done
in fall/autumn and the vegetation deteriorates becomming a soil
builder. The rows thus created can be lightly disk harrowed in the
spring and then you can plant.
We always used a middlebuster to plow up the potatoes and peanuts.
The CUB is only capable of pulling one middlebuster. Whereas a
larger tractor like the Super C could handle two plows. They were
mounted just infront of the rear wheels. Being mounted in this position the wheels always had good traction on solid soil and you can really plow in very wet soil conditions.
2). The Hiller/Hipper. This is a concave shaped disk approx. 12 inches in
diameter center mounted on a vertical shaft. The disk can be
rotated horizontally to vary the "angle of attack" to increase or lessen the amount of dirt mounded up. Hiller/Hippers can be used to either mound dirt up to form a complete row or in the case of grassy
crops it can be used to remove dirt/grass and turn it over in the "middle"/
3). A mouldboard/moldboard/turning plow is used to rotate a thickness
of soil 180 degrees, in other words turn the top soil/vegetation under.
This will accomplish the same thing as the middlebuster so far as
turning under the vegetation to deteriorate. However, the soil is left
flat without rows.
Having grown up on a small farm I have used all of these
I hope this helps in some small way.
Yes, there are front mounted middlebusters. They were done both front and rear mounted. The same with listers, which is what the front mounted Cub blackland planters were.
For anyone not familiar with a lister, it is a row crop planter that uses a middlebuster style furrow opener. It further cloud the issue, a "lister attachment" was available for most middlebusters.
Here is a picture of a front mounted middlebuster I took at RPR a couple years ago. This one has been painted black, so it is a little hard to see.
thanks to everyon , really appreciate
all the information that has come forth . Funny , how asking a simple question how compicated it can get !
Hi Merlin,
Good to hear from you. Yes, "mounted in front of the rear wheels. These were on the two-row types of course. Thanks to Jim B. for the pics. The ones on our old Super C were just like those in Jim's pic. They had the depth adjustment wheel also. To my way of thinking the front mounted worked much better that the rear-mounted for three reasons:
1). You had more control over the plow just as with a belly mount
2). You always had solid dirt for the wheel to run in thus eliminating
most of the slippage [negative traction].
3). And not the least of which, "you could see them in operation" with
out having to look backward.
Just my thoughts mind you.
