As the sequestration cuts begin, it is crystal clear to the American people that our elected federal officials are more interested in playing politics than in sound government.
House Speaker John Boehner called off talks that could've stopped the sequestration cuts from going into effect the next day. This was after President Barack Obama offered numerous proposals of budget cuts that were all turned down by the House GOP, mostly because the president insisted on tax increases to accompany the cuts.
Obama also proposed a cut in the corporate tax and a steeper tax cut for manufacturers by closing loopholes in the tax code. But House Republicans said no.
In addition, Obama offered to reduce spending in health care programs such as Medicare by $400 billion over 10 years, change an inflation formula for government benefits that would result in lower cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security and other programs and reduce other spending, for total reductions of $900 billion over 10 years. House Republicans said no.
Those cuts, together with about $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction already achieved over the past two years through spending cuts and a year-end tax increase on taxpayers making more than $400,000, would achieve a $4 trillion deficit reduction target. But House Republicans were still dissatisfied, in large part because of the accompanying proposal to raise taxes.
Now, American citizens are left to wonder whether Obama's foes are going too far in their opposition to his proposals. They — House Republicans and Obama — chose to let sequestration begin, despite the indiscriminate funding cuts that come with it. This is simply bad government — and bad politics.
We elect our legislators to navigate the labyrinth of public finance carefully and expertly so that the country ends up in the best place. But instead we get indiscriminate hacking. And President Obama is not blameless in this farce. Choosing the path of political expediency, he agreed during his first term to the sequester.

Poll: Would You Eat Domino's Bread Bowl Pastas?
Would You Eat This Domino's Pasta Bread Bowl?
by POPSUGAR Food 41 Reactions 0 Shares Print
When we first found out Domino's was launching Bread Bowl Pastas, we were shocked — and so were you. While a few of you admitted to thinking they looked really good and conceded you'd eaten worse, many of you were entirely grossed out. "Completely awful," DCStar commented. "What were they thinking?!" We, too, weren't crazy about the idea of carbs loaded inside more carbs, but in the end, our curiosity drove us to taste test them. What about you: would you eat a Bread Bowl Pasta?
4 years
Oh man... I wonder if our Domino's has those? We have a Greek restaurant here in town that's all but famous for its spaghetti pizza. It's a heavenly carb overload... great crust, covered in spaghetti and meatballs, then layered with cheese. This doesn't look much different... just penne instead of spaghetti.
4 years
I'd eat one, or two or twenty. There's tons of cheesy goodness with juicy looking tomatoes and okay looking pasta. If there's no meat, then sign me up.
4 years
Yes I'd eat it! They taste good (I get them without meat). It's fit for a college student, because it's easy to obtain and will fill up your stomach. I'd only consume such a fatty, calorie-laden beast one or twice a semester, but I'd definitely shove it into my gullet and have done so. I eat very healthily, so I'm allowed to visit the top of the food pyramid if I want and not go manic, still feeling at ease, mind and body.

OMG i thought there were going to be some intelligent responses to these postings. Obviously I was wrong and with few exceptions, no one even tried one ! No one said you had to eat an entire bread bowl. Would all you carb conscious people eat an entire loaf of bread at one time? As much as I don't like to eat a lot of fast food, I think they look great for the most part and will try one soon. It is something different to try at least !

I like the idea, although at first it seemed like too many carbs. But I may try making it at home, and make sure it's not dry...and ad everything I want.

My boyfriend and I ordered them right before finals. I got a custom one, not one of their set ones, and what I got was essentially just marinara sauce with ground beef (my other two choices were onions and tomatoes so the sauce was chunky). It was actually pretty good. Clearly not gourmet, but it was filling and relatively tasty, and inexpensive (which is always appreciated by a poor college kid who stupidly chose the most expensive university in her state). It was *HUGE*, though - I couldn't finish it in two sittings, and wound up letting my boyfriend finish it.

I don't know. It does disgust me, but when I think about it I eat breadsticks with pasta...but...the pasta isn't incased in the breadstick...nah I wouldn't eat it. It's just too too much!
lemuse20 5 years
I have to say it definitely LOOKS tempting! But no, I probably wouldn't eat that. One because my conscience wouldn't let me, and two because I'm sure I would feel preeeetty sluggish afterwards, probably for a couple days.

Eek, no! They scare me. Besides, I like my pasta separate from my bread.

I am extremely disgusted by the idea of these, and I'm not exaggerating. BUT. I am still curious enough to take a bite. I would never actually eat one or order one myself, but I would try someone else's.

FAIL. This looks WAY too saucy and cheesy. It doesn't look like bread or a bowl, just a thick crust, and everyone knows Mac & Cheese from Ian's Pizza By the Slice is the only noodle pizza allowed!

i can't say no 100% but im' not sure that i would necessarily dive in to try that. i think that there's just something wrong with using bread as a bowl - that's how i feel about soup too. there's just too much going on there - and with the amount of carbs in the pasta - do you really need that much more?

By Sean BaligianFantasy Sports Geekly
(WJBK) -- I think the first place you look in week 3 is the upcoming Lions vs. Redskins tilt. Simply put, opposing offenses are making it look way too easy against a team that struggled against the past lass season as it was.
This year, its been a disaster thus far. It was clear to everybody that the Eagles called off the dogs early in Week 1, and Aaron Rodgers and the Pack decided they would not be so kind as Rodgers rolled up 480 yards and 4 scores. I expect the Lions to be able to exploit the Skins as well in Week 3.
Matthew Stafford has averaged just over 315 yards a game so far, and I would expect that number to grow. Go right ahead and give Calvin Johnson a strong showing, and it will be interesting to see how many other wideouts are utilized. Keep an eye on Ryan Broyles as its assumed the Lions will ease him in at first, and that usually is a sign of caution for a fantasy player. Joique Bell is a better weapon as a piece, not the main course, so Reggie Bush status should help both the Lions, and Bell. What is wrong with Tom Brady and the Pats offense? Circumstances, simply put. Do you see the players that he has had to work with in the first two weeks? How about that torrential downpour last Thursday night as well? Relax, he will be fine, and getting Rob Gronkowski back [possibly!] will be a big lift. While I expect better numbers against Tampa this week, I would not expect a monster outing as the Bucs pass D did a pretty good job last week on Drew Brees and the Saints, "only" limiting him to 322 yards and a score. Keep an eye on: Miami, surprising start, and Ryan Tannehill should have to throw all day long at home against the Falcons. Keep away from: The Steelers. WOW, that offense looks awful.

'Inappropriate driving' blamed for crash
10:30am Thursday 17th January 2013 in News
INAPPROPRIATE driving on icy roads was blamed by police as the cause of a crash involving five vehicles on the A34 yesterday.
The northbound stretch near the Milton interchange was closed after the collision at about 6.40am.
One lane was reopened soon afterwards. It was about two hours before the road was fully reopened.
It came as Oxfordshire residents woke to find freezing fog around the county.
Mark Pointing, of the Abingdon Roads Policing Team, said: "The incident occurred due to people not driving appropriately for the adverse weather and road conditions – that is driving too fast and too close to be driving safely."
But a Highways Agency spokesman said: "Highways Agency teams had already run a full salt treatment on all of our roads in Oxfordshire, and there is no reason why the A34 should have been icy."
The spot was also near to the scene of a major traffic light outage at the Milton Interchange.
Meanwhile, forecasters have predicted heavy snow will blanket Oxfordshire tomorrow and Saturday, prompting further warnings to take care whilst driving.

|Church project, housing, Love's remodel boost month's building permits
The largest single construction project of the year and a surge of five new single-family dwellings added up to more than $2.2 million worth of building permits during October, nearly doubling the year-to-date tally.
St. Mary's Catholic Church in Aurora has been planning to expand and remodel its parish for months, and officially started the wheels in motion by filing a building permit listed at more than $1.1 million. Utility work has already begun on the project. Also worth noting on this month's report are permits for five new homes, all valued at between $125,000 and $300,000. That nearly doubles the number of new homes in 2012 from 6 to 11. The 10-month tally for homes stood at six last year and 10 in 2010.
The other big-ticket item on the October report was a $200,000 store remodel being planned at Love's Country Store, which opened in 2003 as the anchor tenant at Aurora's 332 I-80 interchange. The October boost pushes the year-to-date sum for 2012 up to $5.2 million worth of building permits. That's ahead of last year's $2.9 million pace, but well below the $7.9 million tally in 2010.

1990 Ferrari F40 Coupe For Sale
June 21, 2014 by Luxury Auto Direct
Filed under Blog, Featured Cars For Sale, Ferrari
Fort Lauderdale Collection South is proud to present this 1990 Ferrari F40. The F40 was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary and was the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. At the time it was the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car that Ferrari sold to the public. Even by today's standards, it is a true Supercar with very few rivals. On Top Gear, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson and both refer to the F40 as the "greatest supercar the world had ever seen". Clarkson also said the F40 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Many share that opinion.
Click Here to Visit FortLauderdaleCollection.com
With a twin-turbo 2.9 liter V8 rated at 478 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque and lightweight construction of kevlar, carbon fiber and aluminum, the F40 will do 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 11.8 seconds, and it has a top speed of 200 mph.
Just 213 of these cars were built for the US market, and this in an original, unmodified example with just 7548 miles on it. It is in outstanding condition and runs and drives like new. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa and has its correct Speedline wheels. Inside are red Nomex-covered racing buckets outfitted with the original Klippan seatbelts and a period-correct Pioneer stereo.
This car's history includes a stint at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. There, it was displayed as not only one of the finest examples of the F40 extant but also as one of the most important automobiles to ever wear the Cavallino Rampante. This is a true masterpiece that will only continue to increase in value.
Please take a look at all of our gallery pictures, and feel free to call or email us if you have any questions at all.
Fort Lauderdale Collection South is committed to offering only the finest vehicles we can find to our potential clients. We welcome you to come to our facilities, meet our sales associates, test-drive our precious vehicles and judge for yourself.

1990 Ferrari F40 Offered at Mecum Monterey
July 18, 2013 by Luxury Auto Direct
Filed under Auctions & Events, Blog, Ferrari, Mecum Auction
On July 21, 1987, automotive journalists from around the world assembled at the civic center near Ferrari's Maranello headquarters for an audience with the Old Man himself. The occasion: the unveiling of the Ferrari F40 Berlinetta, the result of Ferrari's instruction to his engineers to build the best car in the world.
The F40 was indeed a technological tour de force, combining superbly executed engineering conventions with brilliant innovation. Its maximum speed of 201 MPH necessitated Pirelli's all-new Z-rated P700 tires mounted on center-locking F-1 style aluminum wheels, behind which reside huge Group C-derived 13-inch Brembo brakes. The otherwise conventional all-independent A-arm/coilover suspension bore the added benefit of automatic ride height adjustment, a concession to the changing road conditions the F40 would face in the real world. The F40's 3.0L twin turbo 4-cam V-8 made no such compromises, boasting 478 HP at 7,000 RPM while delivering its maximum 425 lb-ft of torque at just 4,000, making it docile at low speeds yet ready to instantly launch the car forward with overwhelming ferocity. Sculpted in carbon fiber for minimal weight and maximum downforce, the F40's stunning Pininfarina bodywork has gained iconic status in the intervening years, more for its artful forms than its aerodynamic efficiency; so too its strictly functional cockpit with its highly bolstered seats, simple padded steering wheel, gated shifter and analog instruments.
Sold new by Ferrari of Los Gatos on June 21, 1991, this one-owner 1990 Ferrari F40 has been driven just 473 miles. Accompanied by its original window sticker the supercar received its first service on October 6, 1992 at 459 miles and was then placed in storage, where it remained until April 26, 2013. One of only 1,311 produced from 1988 to 1992, it is a superb, virtually untouched example of the last Ferrari commissioned by Enzo Ferrari before his passing on August 14, 1988, barely one year after he introduced the F40 as the world's fastest production automobile.

1991 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta Offered for Sale by RM Auctions Arizona
December 28, 2011 by Luxury Auto Direct
Filed under Auctions & Events, Blog, Ferrari, RM Auction
|To be auctioned on Friday, January 20, 2012 Estimated value $650,000- $750,000
|471 bhp (SAE), 2,936 cc mid-mounted V-8 engine with dual overhead camshafts per cylinder bank, four valves per cylinder, Weber-Marelli engine management and port fuel injection, twin IHI turbochargers, Behr air-to-air intercoolers, five-speed manual gearbox in rear transaxle, four-wheel independent suspension with unequal-length A-arms, coil springs and anti-roll bar, and four-wheel ventilated hydraulic disc brakes. Wheelbase: 96.5″
• Less than 300 miles from new and well documented; still on original MSO
Introduced in 1987, Ferrari's F40 supercar was nothing less than a shock to the senses and a masterful combination of raw-edge, radical styling with state-of-the-art technologies used throughout its engine, body and chassis designs. Without question, driving an F40 is truly a visceral experience, hammering the senses with brutal acceleration, go-kart quick reflexes and a howling exhaust note that is music to the ears of the devoted enthusiast. The overall experience is addictive—a powerful narcotic even.
Conceived in 1986, the F40 project was intended to celebrate Ferrari's landmark 40th anniversary. Il Commendatore, Enzo Ferrari, is reported to have said, "Let's make something special for next year's celebrations in the way we used to do it." A friend of Ferrari, Gino Rancati, who received a silver plaque to commemorate the occasion, suggested the car's name. It was inscribed, "To Gino Rancati for a brilliant idea." An accompanying letter said:
Dear Rancati, with this plaque I want to commemorate our meeting on the 4th June when you kindly contributed to the choice of name for the GT car we presented at the Frankfurt motor show. Your contribution has produced excellent results—the 'F forty', based on the idea of forty years of Ferrari cars, identifies and personalizes the fastest Ferrari GT. Kindest regards. G.B. Razelli.
Poignantly, next to this, in slightly shaky script with violet ink, was, "To Signor Gino, Ferrari." Sadly, the F40 was to be the last car that Enzo Ferrari would see launched by the company he founded.
In true Ferrari tradition, the F40 bridged the gap between the company's road cars and racing cars, representing a further progression of the 288 GTO Evoluzione. Cost-no-object engineering produced technical specifications that remain the stuff of fantasy even by today's jaded standards. A carbon-fiber and Kevlar-reinforced steel space frame chassis with composite body panels was mated to an Evoluzione twin-turbocharged and intercooled four-cam, port-injected V-8 engine, controlled by a race-proven Weber-Marelli engine management system and producing close to 500 bhp.
Weighing just 1,100 kilograms, the F40 was capable of blinding performance. Fast Lane magazine road tested the F40 in the late 1980s, achieving zero-to-60 times of just 3.9 seconds. From a standstill, Ferrari's supercar accelerated to 100 mph in just 7.8 seconds and to 140 mph in 14 seconds! Independent testing revealed even quicker acceleration times. Regardless of the source, the F40 proved to be the fastest road car ever produced, and its performance abilities remain simply staggering in every respect today.
While the initial production run was limited to about 400 examples, the market demand was so overwhelming, even with the car's stratospheric price tag, that production continued until 1,315 F40s were built by the time production ended in 1991. American Ferrari enthusiasts, however, had to wait until 1990 for the chance to own one. With such strong demand, U.S.-specification cars traded at premiums of many thousands of dollars above their list price in the heady "supercar" market of the time. Over a three-year period, only 213 examples of the F40 were built for the U.S. market.
While every F40 is "special" indeed, this example from 1991 has covered fewer than 300 miles from new, and it is still unregistered and listed on its Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO). As the 94th of the 213 U.S.-specification F40s, it was produced during October 1990. With just three owners from new, its original owner was none other than the famed American automotive executive and business leader Lee Iacocca. Having recently received a major service by Patrick Ottis, the noted Ferrari marque specialist, the F40 is now offered from the current owner's impressive private collection and complete with extensive documentation confirming the former ownership of Mr. Iacocca. Among the documents are such items as the Ferrari Certificate of Origin dated October 12, 1990, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency letter, Italian export paperwork, an engraved "Built Especially for Lee Iacocca" card, the Owner's Warranty and Service Book, the warranty card and one piece of personal correspondence. A genuine "blue chip" investment-quality exotic automobile, this 1991 F40 will certainly continue to top the Ferrari collector's wish list for many years to come.

200 mph Supercars: Caruso Concours d'Elegance at Americana on Brand
October 15, 2009 by Michael
Filed under Auctions & Events, Blog, Caruso Concour d' Elegance
"If you've never been at 200 mph, it's a sensation beyond belief." The words of Dick Messer, the longtime Director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, could hardly have better summarized the reasoning behind the museum's sponsorship of an October 11 car show that focused on automobiles capable of 200 mph. Reaching out to local collectors and loyal members, the museum was able to assemble 23 such supercars for a fun and free event set against the backdrop of one of the area's most popular open air luxury retail centers, the Americana on Brand Boulevard.
Located in the Los Angeles-adjacent city of Glendale, nicknamed the Jewel City, Americana on Brand is the latest project of Caruso Affiliated, a regional real estate development company that has garnered a reputation for the outdoor retail malls that are becoming increasingly commonplace in Southern California. There is a small degree of irony in the fact that a Caruso property would host an exhibition of expensive supercars, given that company founder Henry Caruso made the majority of his fortune as the founder of Dollar Rent-A-Car.
"To my knowledge, and I read practically every [automotive] publication, at least here in the United States, and some in Europe, this has never been done before – that this many supercars ended up in one place at one time," explained Messer. The Petersen, of course contributed some of the most stellar offerings on display, including a Ferrari F40, F50 and 575 Superamerica, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, a Bugatti EB110 and Veyron, a Ford GT and a Jaguar XJ220. Another area institution, the Riverside International Automotive Museum, supplied a freshly acquired Maserati MC12, which in concert with a handful of locally owned Lamborghinis and Ferraris, rounded out the representation of the major Italian supercar rivals.
Rarer contributions came in the form of a 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG, one of about 100 carbon fiber-bodied CLK models homologated for racing and one of only 40 that the manufacturer allowed to circulate into public ownership. A Cizeta V16T, one of roughly 10 of the Marcelo Gandini-penned supercars that employ a transversely mounted V-16 engine, provided a rare glimpse of another little-known exotic. The most unusual car on hand though was an AREX, whose acronym stands for American Roadster Experimental. Fully looking like an experiment, the scissor-doored twin-turbo V-8 oddity was produced in the early 90s by former GM and Toyota designer David Stollery and Gale Banks Engineering.
Though the show wore the banner of a Concours d'Elegance, there was no judging other than one People's Choice award, which went to a Ferrari Enzo owned by Armen Aslanian of Glendale. The show was the third such event that Americana on Brand has hosted in the last year, the previous two focusing on classic cars and the cars of celebrities. Caruso Public Relations Coordinator Jenny Bronstein clarified that the event would probably be held on an annual basis from this point forward.
"This is all excess beyond excess," concluded Messer. "Nobody needs to have one of these cars. You don't need to have a car that goes 200 mph plus to drive around Los Angeles," he said, referring to the city's notoriously congested traffic. "But on an open road, there's nothing like it!"

Drosselmeyer (above) prevailed at 13-1 odds in the 2010 Belmont Stakes after not competing in either the Kentucky Derby or Preakness Stakes that year. (Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire)
The Belmont Stakes is a tough race to pick. It's a mile and a half, the longest distance in the Triple Crown and one of the longest distances run on any racetrack anywhere in the U.S. None of the horses running in the Belmont Stakes has ever raced that far before. The fact that 19 horses have won the Derby and Preakness since Pensive in 1944 only to meet defeat at Belmont (not counting I'll Have Another who did not compete in the race last year) shows what a tough race it is to win, especially on the heels of a Triple Crown campaign.
Often the race draws a diverse field; Triple Crown competitors take on newcomers (and sometimes local horses whose connections are taking a big flyer). It makes for a unique race and difficult one to handicap. It also makes the race ripe for picking longshots.
Since 2000, there have been seven big longshot winners in the Belmont. In fact, the favorite has only won the race twice in that time. Could this year see another big longshot winner? There's no Triple Crown on the line, so there won't be any massive underlays from the public loading up on a fan favorite. But the favorites are beatable in this race.
Our three top choices are likely to be Orb, the Kentucky Derby winner; Oxbow, the Preakness winner; and Revolutionary, the third-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby. Since 1993, only six horses have won the Belmont after racing in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. That would seem to eliminate both Oxbow and Orb. It also would eliminate the other D. Wayne Lukas-trained horse, Will Take Charge. After finishing third in the Kentucky Derby, however, Revolutionary skipped the Preakness.
Skipping the Preakness and heading straight to the Belmont is a popular move these days. Ten of the last 11 Belmont winners didn't race in the Preakness, including last year's winner Union Rags.
Photo courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire
In fact, four of the last six Belmont winners didn't race in either the Derby OR the Preakness! They were Triple Crown virgins and they won! And all of them, save for the amazing filly Rags to Riches, paid big money.
The Triple Crown virgin angle would eliminate the other top choice, Revolutionary. It also eliminates Giant Finish, Golden Soul, Overanalyze and Palace Malice. This leaves you plenty of longshots to pick from if you want to stick to this angle. Among them, the best is probably the Kentucky Oaks-winning filly Unlimited Budget.
I think you probably tossed the winner, though. I'm going to play one of those Kentucky Derby horses that sat the Preakness out and freshened up for their day at Big Sandy.
Among those horses, I think running style and conditioning is probably more important than speed figures here. (I'm trying to beat the favorites, folks. You gotta have an angle!) The Belmont is rarely won by a deep closer. That eliminates Golden Soul and Revolutionary. Palace Malice was the pace horse in the Kentucky Derby for some reason. If he tries that again at Belmont, he's likely going to get beat again. Horses just as rarely win the Belmont leading from start to finish. If he rates off the pace, he has a chance, though. And his workouts have been good leading up to this race so far. The Belmont is a stamina contest, so conditioning matters a great deal.
Perhaps he won't be a huge longshot, but my pick in the Belmont is going to be Overanalyze. Call me a homer, but I love the Arkansas Derby prep before Kentucky. They say he wasn't up against anybody good, but I was there and I seem to remember a horse named Oxbow eating his dust in the stretch.
There's still more than a week until the race, so I have plenty of time to change my mind. But if you want to play a decent longshot in the Belmont, try Overanalyze or Unlimited Budget.

Photo of the Week: Stargazing on the High Line [1]
Submitted by Amelia Krales on
Come observe the celestial bodies above the High Line. On Tuesday evenings through the end of the month, the Amateur Astronomers Association [3] will set up their high-powered telescopes to provide visitors an opportunity to get an up-close-and-personal look at the stars and planets. Stargazing on the High Line [4] is a free program, so take advantage of one of the final three opportunities of the season.
High Line Photographer Oliver Rich [2] took this photo earlier in the season using a tripod and a long exposure to capture the movement of people while keeping the stationary objects tack-sharp. Thank you, Oliver, for this wonderful image!

Update: Reporter Shea Dixon says this is related to LSU not having scholarship space for Miller to enroll early. LSU's loss is Auburn's gain.
Here from ESPN 760 is Miller's coach explaining how it went down:
Original Story: In a shocking development, top LSU recruit Patrick Miller has enrolled at Auburn, per Bryan Matthews of 247 Sports:
"BREAKING: 4-star OT Patrick Miller, previously committed to LSU, has enrolled at Auburn"
Miller plays for West Palm beach Dwyer (Fla.) and had committed to LSU in September. Miller stands 6'7" and weighs 280 pounds, growing a lot since his sophomore year in which he was quite skinny. He's rated as a four-star prospect by Yahoo!, ESPN, Scout and 247 Sports.
Miller played left tackle for Dwyer, helping his team to the state semi-finals, before falling to Manatee.
He won't be an instant-impact player for Auburn, but does have significant potential. Miller held multiple SEC offers. His enrollment at Auburn is binding, and his recruitment is over. This is very surprising since Auburn doesn't have an offensive coordinator at this point.
Miller is Auburn's 16th commitment of the 2012 class.

Rescue efforts are in full force Tuesday morning as the sun rises on the destruction left behind after a massive tornado tore through Oklahoma City. The mile wide twister leveled schools and homes. More than 51 are confirmed dead, dozens more are expected to be found. Among the dead, at least 20 children.
As of Monday night hospitals have been treating more than 120 patients after the tornado ripped through Oklahoma City, including 70 Children. State medical examiners office: 51 killed were killed and authorities are expecting for the death toll to rise as emergency crews have been moving into the hardest- hit areas.
A mix of volunteers and first responders are combing through debris in an Oklahoma City suburb looking for survivors.
The city of Moore, Oklahoma was hit by a mile-wide tornado on Monday afternoon.
The National Weather Service said the tornado's preliminary classification was an EF-4, with winds up to 200 mph.
People wearing neon-green vests were joined by residents in the search through rubble. Neighborhoods are flattened and homes blown apart.
Several children have been pulled out of the rubble alive at a school in an Oklahoma City suburb.
An Associated Press photographer saw several children being pulled out of what was left of the Plaza
Towers Elementary School in Moore, Oklahoma., on Monday after a massive tornado hit the region.
Rescue workers lifted children from the rubble before they were passed down a human chain and taken to a triage center set up in the school's parking lot.
The school is southwest of Oklahoma City. Its roof appears mangled and the walls had fallen in or had collapsed.
Shards of wood and pieces of insulation were strewn everywhere.

Soccer supporters visiting Portland form California are accused of attacking a Timbers fan before a match at JELD-WEN Field.
U.S. Marshals arrested Jennifer Marques, 29, and Uriel Vargas, 21, in Santa Clara, CA. They are accused of attacking a Lake Oswego man in his car on April 14.
James Decker, 40, was stopped at a red light in his 2007 Saab at Sixth and Burnside two hours before the Timbers faced the San Jose Earthquakes that day.
Decker initially told police he saw a large group of Earthquakes fans walking toward the stadium, so he yelled, "Go Timbers," toward the group and showed them his Timbers scarf. He said a woman then ran over to his car, hit him in the face and tried to grab his scarf.
Decker said he started to drive away, but the woman fell on the ground, so he said he stopped to make sure she was OK. That's when 10 to 12 men ran over to the car, jumped on the hood and smashed the windshield.
Decker said he was punched at least two more times. He did not, however, suffer significant injuries in the attack.
Several witnesses at the scene confirmed Decker's account of what happened to investigators.
"I'm glad that police did their due diligence and took care of this," said Decker. "And more importantly I want to say, 'Thank you,' to those people that stepped up and did the right thing."
A Multnomah County grand jury reviewed the evidence in the case following Wednesday's arrest of Marques and Vargas and handed out charges. Marques is charged with assault, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, harassment and disorderly conduct.
Vargas is charged with criminal mischief, harassment and disorderly conduct. They will be extradited to Oregon and booked into the Multnomah County Jail, according to police.
A Portland Police Bureau release said tips from the public "led directly to the identification and eventual arrest of those responsible for the assault."
Anyone who has tips, video of photos related to the case is asked to contact Detective Paul Dolbey at 503-823-0451 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've been drooling over the 135mm for awhile now and your recommendation makes trying to avoid it even harder! It may be the perfect stopgap between now and me saving up to replace my 70-200 with the f/2.8 version. Now you're making me re-think which lenses to go with
After reading the reviews on the 6D, I pushed the button and bought one, after seeing the results myself with my 50 & 135mm lens, I was tempted by a second hand 17-40mm, it was battered and felt tired, walked out of the shop with a brand new 16-35mm. After seeing the results from the 16-35 on the 6D, my feelings about crop, even with the mighty fine 10-22 & 15-85 that I still own, I've committed myself to a full frame pro kit. The 6D is transient and I see me replacing this in 4-5 years, the lenses are keepers, so rather than faffing with lens that I'm not wholely satisfied with, I will be getting exactly what I want.
What's do I want next ? The 24-70mm f2.8 II now please ;-) what else ? I want the extra bits forms Lensbaby, I want the 8-15mm fisheye at some point in the future, but not sure if I want one of the 70-200's or the 100-400 or a 300mm prime...
The moral is that the lenses will stay with you for a decade or more, the camera will be replaced a lot sooner

Flying Opera (My sky-high life)
First Officer Thierry Beyeler
Flying Opera
Last week I went to the opera. It was fascinating once again: Acting, singing and dancing mixed with beautiful scenes and an impressive orchestra. Everything was live, loud and dynamic. At the end of the show, the audience clapped their hands enthusiastically and gave the performers a standing ovation, during which my thoughts wandered away from theatre for a short while. People often ask me if we still receive applause from passengers after landings. So I started to think why people gave applause on airplanes some years ago. And why they still do – on rare occasions.
Good old times
Applause has been a sign of acknowledgement for hundreds of years. And applause was apparently often heard on airplanes in the old days. Why? I can only guess. Wasn't a flight like an opera? Wasn't it a unique event? The crew prepared seriously behind the scene. When the curtain fell (or boarding began), the crew started their several hours live performance: Standing and sitting in front of the audience. Making melodious announcements for everyone's safety. Changing altitude to avoid turbulence. Minimizing ground time to be punctual. Everything live! Simply giving their best, so that passengers felt comfortable, passionate and could experience a beautiful event – like at the opera. And after all this, passengers possibly wanted to express their acknowledgement and gave a warm round of applause to the flight crew.
Good new times
May I say that we, the flight crews, are still doing exactly the same as described above. We still give our very best for the "audience". Moreover, our workload might even have increased. Well, the scenery has changed a bit. Flying has become daily business. It is no longer perceived as being such a unique thing as it once was. And as the cockpit door is constantly locked, we would not really hear the applause (if it happens, though, the flight attendants always tell us). Because I am a relatively young pilot, I never experienced the "scenery" of the past. I "grew up" with the locked cockpit door and without applause after landings. I "grew up" with the tough competition of the low-cost airlines. I would never expect any applause for anything. And this is the main point: As it is so unexpected, it appears to me to be of even greater uniqueness and a special surprise if on rare occasions we receive this form of appreciation. For whatever reason it might be. In this sense, we get less of a thing. And because we get less of that thing, we appreciate it more. Isn't that true for many other things too?
My thoughts are back at the opera. The standing ovation has ceased. People are now heading home through the cold and foggy winter night. Have a beautiful Christmas time, everybody!

Honestly? I think, it is because nowadays, it is rather ridiculuous to applause for a landing. Still, if a pilot manages to perform a super-soft landing in harsh conditions, applause would not be bad. But if I fly from Zurich to Hannover, a one hour flight, performed probably three times a day by the same crew, what is special about that? Do you applause, if your local busdriver stops at the station? Or in the train? I guess not. Furthermore, people now used to say that someone giving applause after landing basically outs himself as a non-frequent flyer. It even exists a dirty-word for it in German: Charterfluglandungsklatscher. So, even if I totally agree that it is nice to hounour the job done by the pilot, it should remain something special for special occasions (as the mentioned landing in difficult conditions). Applauding for each and every landing would simply turn it into something... routinely normal.ReplyDeleteReplies

I'm afraid the average passenger is not in a position to asses whether the landing was a good one or not. A super soft landing (especially in harsh conditions) can uqually be a bad landing.Delete
And also, as a pilot, should I not see every flight as a special one? The beforementioned third flight of a day to Hannover is as unique as the first or the second to every pilot. Otherwise we would not be able to deliver the same high quality, high safety flight on EVERY flight, not only the ones that seem special to the outsider.

Hi Everone,ReplyDelete
To applause it's a good feeling, good recognition, good move for the pilot and his team, as well the company. But sometime, people did it to early, they should wait until the airplane is stop, not during the manoeuvres. They should say that to the passengers.
No matter the distance, because anything might happen, even during a 10 minutes fly.
Best regards to all,
Stephane Belizaire

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This super classic of Red Rock Canyon NCA has a little bit of everything; cracks, face, big pro, small pro and is nine pitches long. The route is at the mouth of Juniper Canyon. The access is the same for Olive Oil, but Crimson is located on the Cloud Tower, which can be identified by a pinkish tower capped by a red top. The Cloud Tower is located on the north facing side of Juniper Canyon. As you approach the mouth of Juniper you'll see a bushy ramp that angles up and right (west) to the base of the route. Follow the climber trail up the ramp to the route's beginning.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Project Description
Despite being one of the largest and richest Ancient Greek colonies in the Black sea region, Apollonia Pontica (present-day Sozopol, Bulgaria) was famous in Antiquity because of the colossal statue of Apollo by Calamis. According to Pliny the Elder (Pliny 34.29) and Strabo (Strabo, 7.319) the 13-meter high bronze sculpture cost 500 Talents. It was raised in the fifth century B.C. in/in front of the temple dedicated to Apollo Ietros (the Healer) - patron deity of Apollonia Pontica. In 72 B.C. the Romans under Marcus Lucullus sacked the city and the colossal sculpture was transported to Rome as a trophy. It was exhibited for several centuries on the Capitoline Hill. During the Early Christian period it was lost - probably destroyed as many other pagan artefacts.
Epigraphic sources mention that the temple of Apollo was situated on an island, identified by most of the scholars with St. Kirik Island - the closest one to the ancient city. However, until recently there was no archaeological evidence where the temple was situated.
The tiny island of St. Kirik is connected with the mainland and the Old Town Quarter of Sozopol by a short and narrow breakwater (built in 1927). Its name originates from the medieval monastery dedicated to St. Kirik and St.Yulita (St. Cyricus and his mother St. Julitta) that once existed there. The first archaeological survey on the island was conducted in 1904 by the French consul and scholar L. Degrand. The results from the excavations were never published and many precious artefacts from Archaic and Classical Greek period found there were transported to France and exhibited in the Louvre. For app. 100 years after that the territory of St. Kirik Island was used as a military zone by the Bulgarian Ministry of Defence. In 2005 the island was demilitarized and in 2009 the Apollonia Pontica Excavation Team lead by Dr. Krastina Panayotova restarted the excavations. For the last two years the team unearthed there:

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Narrow wins by Republican Mary Franson and Democrat Kevin Dahle in legislative recounts have become official.

Franson won the 8B recount and a second term representing the Alexandria area by 12 votes over Democrat Bob Cuniff.
Dahle won the Senate recount in the Northfield area by 71 votes, beating Republican Mike Dudley. Dahle is a former senator returning after a two-year absence.
Neither recount affected party control of the Legislature. Democrats will take over both chambers when the new Legislature convenes next month.

"It's a pretty big honor," Allred said. "My head is still in the clouds a bit."
According to Allred, he is the youngest president in the association's 40-year history.
As president, Allred will meet and lobby state lawmakers, and he will serve on committees organized by the governor and the attorney general. He said he will do the job with an eye for what is best for the state's law enforcement and the people they protect.
"We know what we need best to serve you, and at the end of the day that's what we're here for," he said.
Even though the 2013 Alabama Legislative Session does not begin until February, Allred named two upcoming issues that will affect local law enforcement. The first concerned the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center. A committee on which Allred will serve will decide if the system should remain under the control of the Alabama Department of Public Safety, which includes the Alabama State Troopers. Allred said many officials are concerned about one entity making all the decisions for a system that provides information to every law enforcement agency in the state.
Allred said he also hopes that this year state lawmakers will find a way in which neighboring law enforcement agencies can communicate during a disaster. He said the type of radios used can vary significantly from department to department.
"If we don't have the same equipment, I might as well have tin cans and string," he said.
Allred also said that his administration will lend a voice in Montgomery to smaller law enforcement agencies.
During the Carbon Hill City Council's last meeting, Mayor Chris Hart and each council member congratulated Allred.
"It's a big accomplishment, and we're proud of you," Hart said.
Allred said he is thankful to the council and the mayor for giving him the opportunity to seek the office.
"I think Carbon Hill is going to be better because of it," he said.
Allred joined the Alabama Association of Chiefs of Police in 2003. He also served as the group's chaplain for three years. He also held the offices of secretary and vice president.
Allred was born and raised in Lamar County, and graduated from South Lamar High School in 1997. He began his career in law enforcement as a patrol officer in Northport. At the age of 21, Allred was picked by the district attorney for the 24th Judicial Circuit to establish a narcotics task force.
Allred said he jumped at the opportunity because it gave him a chance to return to Lamar County. He also worked at the Lamar County Sheriff's Office for one year. In 2003, Allred was appointed as the Millport Police Chief and worked there until becoming Carbon Hill's Chief in 2010.
In November of 2011, Allred married Jacque Roberson, a current city council member and candidate for mayor of Carbon Hill.

A Greer public works commissioner threw key lime pie at his wife during a fight and was later arrested, according to police.
Greer police officers were called to the home of Perry Williams, 51, after his wife called 911 twice Saturday night.
Officers said when they arrived, Williams' wife had blood under her nose and was covered with key lime pie.
When police asked her what happened, she told police they had argued about whether key lime pie was a fruit or not, when some of it fell on Williams. The report said he became angry, throwing the pie at his wife.
Police said there was pie all over the floor in the living room and in the dining room.
Williams' wife told officers there had been domestic violence incidents in the past but she had never reported it.
After officers took her statement, police said she did not want to press charges, but they told her it was in the state's hands because of apparent physical injuries - a bloody nose and a scratch on her face.
She then ripped up the statement she had made and repeatedly told police it was a mistake she called them, the report said.
Williams turned himself in Tuesday night and was charged with criminal domestic violence. He was released from jail on bond.
According to the Greer Commission of Public Works website, Williams was elected to the board of commissioners in May 2009. The commission's general manager said he had no comment on the arrest.
