A's Press Release
A's reinstate O'Flaherty from the DL; designate Francis for assignment
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland A's reinstated left-handed pitcher Eric O'Flaherty from the 60-day disabled list and designated left-handed pitcher Jeff Francis for assignment, the club announced today.
O'Flaherty began the season on the 60-day DL as he continued to recover from May 21, 2013 "Tommy John" surgery on his left elbow. He began a rehab assignment with Single-A Stockton June 6 and pitched in one game before he was transferred to Triple-A Sacramento June 11. The 29-year-old left-hander combined for a 1-1 record, a 3.86 ERA and .188 opponents batting average in eight appearances with both clubs. O'Flaherty, who signed a two-year contract with the A's as a free agent in January, last pitched in the majors with Atlanta on May 17, 2013 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Francis was claimed off waivers by the A's from Cincinnati May 18. He went 0-1 with a save and a 6.08 ERA in nine relief appearances with the A's after going 01 with a 5.40 ERA in one start with the Reds.

Finite Elements for the Quasi-Geostrophic
Erich Foster, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg
Equations of the Ocean
Computer Science and Mathematics Division Seminar
10:00 AM — 11:00 AM, Joint Institute for Computational Sciences (Building 5100), Auditorium (Room 128)
Contact: Clayton Webster (firstname.lastname@example.com), 865.574.3649
AbstractErich Foster will present a conforming finite element (FE) discretization of the stream function formulation of the pure stream function form of the quasi-geostrophic equations (QGE), which are a commonly used model for the large scale wind-driven ocean circulation. The pure stream function form of the QGE is a fourth-order PDE and therefore requires a C^1 FE discretization to be conforming. Thus, the Argyris finite element, a C^1 FE with 21 degrees of freedom, was chosen for the FE discretization of the QGE. Optimal error estimates for the pure stream function form of the QGE will be presented. The QGE is a simplified model of the ocean, however it can be computationally expensive to resolve all scales, therefore numerical methods, such as the two-level method, are indispensable for time sensitive projects. A two-level method and optimal error estimate for a two-level method applied to the conforming FE discretization of the pure stream function form of the QGE will be presented and computational efficiency will be demonstrated

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are minerals so healthy for the skin?Minerals provide the syntax for the skin's natural language, enabling inter-cellular messaging and helping the skin to better perform its metabolic functions and retain and deliver moisture where necessary. Vital to the skin's healthy function are magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium, which attract and retain water and are therefore considered to be Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF).
What is so special about the Dead Sea?The Dead Sea is the Earth's largest natural spa. Located on the lowest point of the planet (410 meters below sea level), it abounds with a variety of minerals with proven therapeutic powers and cosmetic benefits. The life-giving waters of the Dead Sea contain the highest concentration of minerals in the world—an astounding 32%. Its sedimentary clay layers of rich, black mineral mud yield extraordinary concentrations of natural elements (ten times more than ocean water)—such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, strontium, boron and iron—that are essential to maintaining healthy, supple skin. Finally, the exceptionally low altitude provides for a dense blanket of pure, pollution-free oxygen that supplies added protection in filtering out the sun's harmful rays. These are only some of the reasons why people come from all over the world to enjoy this magical, health-enhancing oasis.
Aren't Dead Sea ingredients too harsh for sensitive skin types?On the contrary. People from all over the world with very sensitive skin or even skin disorders come to the Dead Sea to immerse their bodies in its mineral-rich waters. Dead Sea minerals are approved and recommended by the world's most renowned dermatologists, both as an excellent remedy for alleviating the symptoms of skin problems and as ongoing, daily care for maintaining healthy skin at optimal levels. The majority of AHAVA products are approved for sensitive skin.
Why does skin get dryer with age?The skin has its own natural moisturizing system. As you age, this system performs with diminished capacity, depleting the skin's ability to retain moisture. With the march of time, the skin barrier gets thinner and thinner and the slow-down of its cellular activity impacts on its capability to attract water molecules and to produce ceramides, which play a crucial role in the skin's self-hydration mechanism.
Why does my skin feel tight at times?Your skin may occasionally feel tight when its epidermal water balance is compromised. This can happen for a variety of reasons, the most common of which are: dry atmosphere, overexposure to the sun, a lack of fluids in your system, stress, tiredness, the use of certain medications, and skin aging.
Should I follow the same moisturizing program throughout the year?Only if your skin reacts well to the same moisturizer all year round. Skin reaction typically fluctuates according to the changing seasons. The dryness of winter generally calls for richer nourishment, while the skin tends to prefer lighter moisturizing in the summer.
Why is it so important to cleanse the skin?You only need to look at how dark the facades of our city buildings are in order to comprehend what pollution can do to the skin. Our lifestyle daily exposes our skin to fumes from car exhausts, fuel oil, and cigarette smoke, as well as heating systems and the stale air of confined spaces. Gaseous polluting substances fix themselves on to the skin and mix with sebum, the residue of make-up and other dirtying elements. These toxins penetrate the epidermis and saturate the skin's natural anti-oxidant system and disrupt its natural protective and moisturizing capacities. The build-up of dirt, pollution, excess oil and make-up residues are one of the first causes of skin premature aging. A daily and thorough cleansing ritual will help you to delay the signs of aging and keep your skin healthier.
AHAVA's StoryDown below, where it all begins...The Dead Sea is AHAVA's home at the bottom of the world. It's a strikingly beautiful and peaceful place - a geological wonder filled with the kind of contrasts that only Mother Nature could create. It's mysterious: An oasis in the middle of the wilderness; a unique salty lake and muddy shoreline that holds the
Earth's greatest concentration of skin-moisturizing minerals; sea water filled with a one-of-a-kind, age- delaying algae; and skin-soothing plants that grow in the driest desert conditions. In 1988, AHAVA began clinical research into the powerful effects of its rich selection of minerals in facilitating skin renewal, forming AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories. And AHAVA haven't stopped since – exploring the richness of these natural skin-replenishing treasures and optimizing them with scientific precision in bringing the finest nature-inspired Dead Sea face and body care products to market. Over the years, AHAVA has cultivated a unique brand identity that is synonymous with the richness, purity and natural goodness that define this mineral rich basin. Through their ongoing efforts, AHAVA has rightfully earned the reputation as the definitive Dead Sea cosmetic brand.
Environmental ResponsibilityTrue to AHAVA's philosophy of protecting the innate beauty and resources of the region, they have cultivated a passionate and caring relationship with the Dead Sea, working diligently and carefully along its hypnotic shores. AHAVA's activities are undertaken with a view towards preserving the pristine environment and delicate balance of the natural forces in the Dead Sea region and comply with stringent international quality standards. AHAVA's manufacturing processes are non-polluting and environmentally conscious. No animals are involved in testing phases and all of their products are encased in recyclable tubes, bottles and jars. All AHAVA face and body products are:
My Skin Re-BornRe-born (adj.): a new or second birth; a renewed sense of existence or activity; a revival or renaissance in one's state of body and mind; a sense of successful transformation; a feeling of transcendence; the rejuvenating sensation that envelops my skin when cared for by AHAVA active Dead Sea mineral formulations.
For centuries, people have been coming to the shores of the Dead Sea in search of a new life for their skin. Bathing in the revitalizing, mineral-rich waters of this unique salt lake, one emerges with a sense of renewed energy and vitality. The effect seems almost mystical but indeed the rejuvenating effects of the natural ingredients that abound in the region have been clinically proven to revive, awaken and balance the skin. It's that same feeling of personal regeneration and skin-healthy renewal that drives our ongoing efforts to bring you the finest in nature-inspired skincare. And AHAVA has captured it in a phrase that conveys the brand promise that AHAVA consistently strives to fulfill: "My skin reborn".
Skin Friendly IngredientsAHAVA's naturally rejuvenating skincare products are formulated with the finest skin-friendly ingredients that the Dead Sea has to offer, supported by a variety of carefully chosen botanical extracts from other regions. Together, these gentle, irritation-free formulae reveal their collective power in enabling healthier, well-hydrated skin.
AHAVA's nature-inspired product range is formulated using the following EcoCert-certified ingredients: Dead Sea water, Dead Sea mineral mud and Dead Sea salt.
Dead Sea MineralsDead Sea minerals are Nature's ultimate supplement for maintaining healthy skin. The minerals essential to well-functioning skin – magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium – naturally attract and retain water and are known as Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). As a person matures, the NMF levels of the body gradually become depleted, lessening the body's ability to retain the proper moisture levels needed to prevent skin aging. Urban pollution, the ongoing exposure to the elements and the fast-paced lifestyles we live, all take their toll. Dead Sea mineral formulae help to reactivate the skin's natural ability to hydrate and replenish itself and restore its natural suppleness.
Potassium (K+): Signs of potassium deficiency include abnormally dry skin, acne.
Manganese (Mn2+): Anti-oxidant properties; Increases skin microcirculation (anti-ageing skin care); Improves connective tissue condition.
Sodium (Na+): Maintains osmotic equilibrium in extra-cellular fluid; Improves the skin's metabolism.
Calcium (Ca2+): Plays an important role in cell protection; Regulates cell membrane permeability; Normalizes skin cells' differentiation.
Bromine (Br-): Relaxing and soothing effect.
Lithium (Li-): Increases the effectiveness of balneotherapy for psoriasis. Magnesium (Mg2+): Stimulates protein synthesis; Facilitates energy production.
Zinc (Zn2+): Facilitates cell renewal; Free radicals scavenger; Improves sebo-regulation (anti-acne properties).
Strontium (Sr2+): Effective anti-itching properties; Reduces the signs of irritant contact dermatitis – a significant problem for many people who regularly use cosmetics. Boron (B3+): Helps to relieve the symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
The Four Elements:The Dead Sea is blessed with four sources of skin-healthy elements that occur naturally in its unique ecosystem:
Powered By The OsmoterA gift from nature, Dead Sea minerals are known to improve your skin's well-being and youthfulness. The Osmoter is a unique blend of minerals contained in all AHAVA products. It optimizes cell metabolism, protects from UV damage, and significantly increases moisture to keep your skin looking young and supple. All AHAVA's products contain AHAVA's exclusive Osmoter.
What Is The Osmoter?A truly unique, concentrated extract of mineral-rich Dead Sea water, the AHAVA Osmoter was created using a natural evaporation process. It contains scientifically balanced levels of Dead Sea minerals to enable the skin to optimize its cell functions. How It WorksLeveraging the principles of the natural water-sharing process that takes place between skin cells, known as osmosis, the clinically-proven formula, which powers our entire product range, draws moisture and nutrients from the depths of the skin up to the outer layers of the epidermis where it is needed the most. The Result:
The Dead Sea GalleryThe Dead Sea is a natural geological wonder formed throughout the millennia and located at the bottom of the world, some 410 meters below sea level. It's a region filled with mystique and is a study in contrasts. Far from reflecting its name, the Dead Sea thrives with life-enhancing ingredients with proven regenerative properties. It provides one of the world's highest concentrations of minerals suitable for skin-related healthcare. The climate is dry and the sands of the desert engulfing it are parched, and yet it produces the greatest abundance of skin-hydrating minerals on Earth. Saturated in healthy salts, the waters of the Dead Sea cause bathers to float rather than sink. And because it is located on the lowest point on the planet there are supplementary filters in the region's dense atmosphere that act like natural sunscreens and a higher concentration of pure, unpolluted oxygen. All of these unique factors add up to make the Dead Sea the largest and richest natural spa on Earth, featuring exceptional, health-enhancing properties. Once the legendary, personal spa of Cleopatra it has become a modern-day oasis for people everywhere seeking its clinically-proven skin therapies and treatments.

Coral Triangle
Expedition to Halmahera: Week One
Follow Nature Conservancy scientists Alison Green and Rod Salm as they blog about their expedition to an unexplored heart of coral biodiversity in Southeast Asia!
Saturday, April 12th: A Great Team Assembles for the Trip
We're close to starting the expedition: After a day in Bali, we flew to Manado in the northeastern part of the Indonesian province of Sulawesi. This was where the whole expedition team finally gathered after travelling from all corners of the globe — Australia, Hawaii, Virginia, Paris, and Jakarta as well as Halmahera and Raja Ampat Islands.
It's great to have the whole team assembled at last. What a fantastic mix: seven world-renowned coral reef experts and nine excellent local scientists. It will be a great trip! (Alison Green)
Sunday, April 13th: Four Weeks Aboard This Boat
This morning we boarded the Seven Seas, our survey vessel and home for the next four weeks. The Seven Seas is an Indonesian-style vessel with teak floors, designed as a live-board dive boat for remote areas in Indonesia. So it is uniquely suited to our trip.
After ferrying the survey team and our mountain of equipment to the vessel, we departed for Halmahera — a 21-hour sail away. We were lucky with the weather and were able to sail at about 15 kilometers per hour, which is quite comfortable on a vessel of this size.
Sailing from Sulawesi was absolutely magic — the weather was perfect, the scenery beautiful and the survey team relaxing as the crew set sail. Everyone is very excited because we will soon arrive in Halmahera. What will we find? The global center of biodiversity — or something else? (Alison Green)
Monday, April 14th: Baby Corals in the Ring of Fire
We arrived in Halmahera this morning. Finally! After months of planning and four days of travel from home, we are finally here.
I woke up early and went up on deck to see Halmahera emerge over the horizon. It's a large green island with huge volcanoes emerging from the sea — a stark reminder that we are in the seismic "ring-of-fire," where tectonic plates collide to form hulking volcanoes, earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis. We anchored in Tuluk Bayo (Bayo Bay) on the mainland, where we all raced up on deck, dug out our dive gear and went for our first dives on Halmahera.
I am working with the coral reef monitoring team, which is composed of local scientists, and it is always such a treat to work with them. We set off to do our first survey of corals and reef fishes in Halmahera.
Initially we were dismayed at what we saw — these reefs had suffered a major impact about 10 years ago, so there was a lot of dead coral around. Dynamite fishing is also common in the area.
But then we looked more closely and saw lots of baby corals, and realized that recovery was underway. Phew, what a relief. Despite the damage to the reefs, diversity was high — and our coral and fish experts are excited by the diversity they were already seeing. Imagine what we'll find when we find a healthy reef!
I also saw a huge green turtle, which was a nice surprise. We did two dives in this area and then steamed north overnight. (Alison Green)
Tuesday, April 15th: Breathtaking Dives!
We didn't have to wait long to wait for two excellent dives!
Our first dive this morning was on Pulau Adui (Adui Island). When we first got in the water, I thought, oh no, this isn't very good either.
But then Andreas — the Conservancy's fish-monitoring expert from Raja Ampat — and I started to swim and count the fish, and we suddenly came upon a breathtaking site, a point in the reef where there were a lot of big fish such as napoleon wrasse, big snappers, emperors and sweetlip, and lots of big colourful parrotfish.
These species are all particularly vulnerable to overfishing, and I am always so excited to see them — you see them so rarely these days. I was particularly pleased to see napoleon wrasse: One is a good sign, and we saw eight! Fish diversity was also high here, with lots of colour and diversity of shapes and size, and lots of weird things like frogfish and pipefish.
Our second dive at Pulau Sidanga was also lovely — healthy vibrant corals and lots of fish. We also saw two endangered hawksbill turtles. We swam right up to one of them and it didn't swim away. So trusting!
Since this was an exposed outer reef, there were big schools of planktivores feeding on the plankton — lots of colour and movment, with waves of fishes moving up and down the reef, particularly damselfishes, unicornfishes, surgeonfishes, and fusiliers.
I was pleased to see lots of healthy Acropora (branching coral) at this site. This coral is particularly vulnerable to coral bleaching, and has been killed in many areas of the world. So it was good to see it healthy and thriving here in Halmahera. (Alison Green)
Tuesday, April 15th: The MEA Starts in Earnest
We tucked in under the lee of the island of Tanjung Bobo, happy for a respite from rolling in the swells, and the MEA started in earnest.
We have three teams, and they're all busy. The socioeconomic/resource-use team headed off to two villages that occupied them for the day. The monitoring team set off to do their counts of benthic cover and fish indicators of resilience. The biodiversity team dived straight into counts of fish and coral species and recording reef resilience. Energy levels were high and most managed 4-5 hours underwater.
The divers were greeted by thickets of the fine-branching and most elegant staghorn coral, Acropora halmaherae, first found and described here in Halmahera. We've also learned that this is the nesting season for the olive Ridley turtle and that one came ashore two nights ago. Three turtles were seen underwater and divers now have been briefed on turtle identification and encouraged to report the species seen.
Something impacted the reefs here about 10 years ago. It could have been linked to the 1998 worldwide bleaching event or an outbreak of the crown-of-thorns starfish, a voracious coral predator.
However, every impact has a trade-off, and the rubble banks are now home to numbers of exquisitely colored nudibranchs (shell-less snails with exposed gills). These beautiful creatures, called sea slugs by the irreverent, find good food and shelter on these recovering areas of dead coral.
We've started our coral and fish-diversity lists—and we're already into the low 200's for both fishes and corals. (Rod Salm)
Wednesday, April 16th: Coral Older than Methuselah!
What a morning — we have dropped into coral heaven, a veritable garden of colorful, healthy hard corals almost completely blanketing a rocky shelf. Our coral recorders estimate 250 coral species at this site—about equivalent to the sum of all sites, and with good color and negligible signs of stress from predators or disease.
This morning we went for a dive just north of Tuluk Loloda (Loloda Bay), and landed right on top of an enormous coral colony — a gigantic colony of the massive coral Pavona clavus (16-17m in diameter), which our coral experts tell us is older than Methuselah, who was reputed to have lived for 969 years!
There were some lovely areas of high coral cover, but no big fish. Too much fishing, I suspect. But despite the lack of big fish, the site was very diverse — about 250 species, according to our fish expert Gerry Allen.
On the way back from our dive site, we stopped off for a freshwater rinse in a spring-fed waterfall that plunges 30 meters down into the ocean, forming a deep pool behind the reef. We managed to get our boat in there and under the waterfall, and everyone had a freshwater shower — it was like being under one of those special massage shower heads. The corals looked so good, we decided to go back this afternoon for a dive.
And when we did, the site turned out to be incredible! I ran into one of our coral experts, Lyndon Devantier and he said the coral diversity here was "outrageous"! I can't wait to hear the total number of species they recorded.
The fish were also very diverse, because the waterfall added a new set of conditions we haven't seen anywhere else. There were a lot of weird and wonderful species in there — some that might turn out to be unique to that area. There were also lots of big fish — snappers, sweetlips and (my favorite) a HUGE humphead parrotfish, about 1 meter long.
The humphead parrotfish consumes more than 5 tons of live and dead coral each year and plays a key role in bioerosion on coral reefs. They grind the carbonate up into sand, which they excrete around the reef - sometimes you wonder what is falling on you and it is sand from the parrotfish. It is a great honour to be pooped on by one of these species!
But these fish are very vulnerable to overfishing, particularly spearfishing. So I'm always pleased to see them.
As I swam in over the reef to the waterfall pool. the top layer (about 2 feet thick) was freshwater and cloudy, while the water underneath that was salty and crystal clear. Very strange. Everytime I lost my buddy in the top layer, all I had to do was sink down to the clear layer below to find him again.
When we swam into the pool below the waterfall, it was like swimming in a primordial soup. The bottom was black sand, and there were corals and coral reef fish in the pool below the waterfall! That was a big surprise — we expected that the freshwater would have killed all the coral.
Ballpark estimates of species are 500 for fishes and 400 for corals. This is remarkable after only 3 days of recording. The scientists are working hard to keep up with the high yield of new records at every site; and are excited to find new records for the area and extend the known ranges of several species. (Alison Green)
Thursday, April 17th: Paradise for Fish Geeks
We went on the most amazing dive today — a wall dive around the outside of some offshore rocks, with a very steep droppoff into the deep blue abyss and a lot of exposure to ocean swells and currents. Not for the faint hearted!
We swam around the rock island looking for big fish, and we weren't disappointed. The water was crystal-clear (100 feet or more of visability), and there were LOTS of big fish — two sharks, 15 humphead parrotfish, a napoleon wrasse, huge schools of planktivores (triggerfishes, surgeonfishes and unicornfishes) and the biggest dogtooth tuna I have ever seen. It was exhilarating.
It was the sort of dive where one needs to be careful — it would have been easy to get so excited about what we were seeing that we would forget our time and depth, or get washed away from the rock and out to sea. The humphead parrotfish were incredible: huge fish cruising past like Sherman tanks, swivelling their eyes to keep us in sight, and stopping occasionally to crunch on the reef. (Alison Green)
Thursday, April 17th : The Species Counts Keep Climbing
We covered the North Loloda Islands today, finding very different environments that have kept our species counts climbing for both corals and fishes.
One site had absolutely transparent water and schools of fishes, including some large pelagic fishes — including an enormous dogtooth tuna that still has Alison Green and Andreas Muljadi talking. Large humphead parrotfish and coral trout pleased the fish team.
We also covered more sheltered habitat that showed typical whorls of leafy corals and large patches of branching forms, too. The corals were extensively damaged, but the beautiful intact patches were pleasing to see — or "mind-blowing," as our colleague Emre Turak's simple observation.
He and Lyndon DeVantier are getting 200+ coral species at each site, which is more than anywhere else these world experts have surveyed. There was absolutely runaway recruitment of new corals onto the damaged patches, which thrilled and kept me busy as the reef-resilience recorder. This development is a strong indicator of the ability of the reef to bounce back if allowed to do so.
Gerry Allen, who is covering fish diversity, is recording over 200 species daily and now has nearly 600 after only four days on the expedition — an unprecedented number in his experience. (Rod Salm)

Town Square
Stimulus Versus Austerity--A False Choice
Original post made by stephen levy on Jul 4, 2010
At the end of the show Fareed Zakaria suggested that we should do both by enacting additional stimulus now and, at the same time, taking steps to reduce future deficits. The stimulus would help the short-term problem of insufficient demand i.e. not enough customers to support full employment. A firm agreement to reduce future deficits would give investors around the world confidence that the U.S. was serious about the federal deficit. That agreement would include reductions in future Medicare and Social Security benefits, elimination of some federal subsidy programs such as agriculture and some additional taxesZakaria suggested a gas tax and small national sales tax.
[Web Link Web link]
I agree with Zakaria that stimulus versus deficit reduction (so-called austerity) is a false choice. It is a "both and" not an "either or".
Later today I read this week's Economist magazinethe British economic and financial weekly. The headline is "Both sides in the stimulus v austerity exaggerate, but the austerity lobby is the more dangerous".
The article points out that politics is preventing the sensible policy of an additional temporary stimulus while at the same time giving no inducement to tackle the sources of long-term fiscal deficits and rising debt.
[Web Link Web link]
Take the debate in Congress about an extension of unemployment benefits and additional aid to prevent layoffs of teachers and public safety workers. The idea that preventing this spending has any connection to the nation's long-term deficit challenge is silly, hypocritical and callous.
The false choice is silly because whether we spend an extra $100 billion or $200 billion in stimulus for one more year has virtually no impact on the long-term deficit arithmetic or policy challenge but it could have an impact on how fast the economy recovers, the level of public services and how people caught in long-term unemployment through no fault of their own fare during the next year, which is certain to see at best a slow recovery.
The false choice is hypocritical on the part of Republicans for several reason1) they would support tax cuts in a heartbeat if that were the proposed stimulus program despite the lack of any evidence that tax cuts are the best anti-recession policy and 2) Republicans supported a broad round of "Bush tax cuts" (unaccompanied by spending cuts that led to rising deficits followed by supporting a large Medicare drug benefit )not paid for in any way) that will contribute far more than an extra year of stimulus spending to our long-term deficit.
The false choice is callous because it does not arise out of any theory or conviction but only out of political expediency. It is certainly possible that Democrats would act similarly on an issue were the situations reversed but that only underscores on this July 4th celebration how far we are from coming together as a people.
The economy still needs help and the long-term deficit challenge demands immediate attention and the associated pain of living more responsibly. Both challenges are serious threats to our economy and deserve better from our leaders than political jockeying.
We can and should act boldly on both the short-term and long-term challenge and do both quickly.

Mr. Levy,
Did you advise the Greece government over the past couple of decades?
"taking steps to reduce future deficits"...please excuse me while I pick myself off the floor (from laughing so hard!). It will never happen, because people demand things for 'free'. Just try cutting social security or agriculture price supports...you will get unemployed as a politician very quickly.
You are a tax-and-spend type. You want the money up front, then offer empty promises down the line. It is a very old (and tiresome) game.
If you want to extend unemployement benefits, then take the money from the existing stimulus funds...but that would mean that you couldn't create new government programs (and government power) with the remaining stimulus funds.
Austerity will be achieved, but only indirectly. The wolf in sheeps clothing is inflation, and it will take its toll, starting with the increased cost of credit at all levels. It is truly ironic when socialist Europe ends up lecturing the U.S. on too much public spending. They understand the wolf, because they just got bit by him in Greece. Now you want us to become Greece. I don't think so....

Steve -
I think I probably agree with Richard, but I come at it from another angle and perhaps more directly.
The problem is that the government has repeatedly promised to pay on Tuesday for a hamburger today.
They just don't do it. They promise to do some specific thing in the future to reduce the deficit, and don't do it.
For example, isn't there a new law that says every new program expenditure must be accompanied by something to enable it without increasing the deficit? That law was made to show that we are serious about reducing the deficit. Now, you are objecting to simply following that rule. And your objection shows that rules made about future actions involving deficit reduction will bring forth people who insist that we get around those rules. They will claim, "not this time, we will do it later." No one has the political courage to reduce spending to what we can afford, or even to what we have legally required ourselves to do!
It would be easy to extend the unemployment benefits. Just cut somewhere else.
Credibility of government in the economic sphere is the most important element in the whole issue. As such it is a direct "connection to the nation's long-term deficit." And for many of us, breaking a new law in order to again borrow more now and pay later simply does not allow us credibility of our government w/r to our economy.

Paul Losch is a registered user.
I think Krugman is closer to the mark than are some pundits and economists, not just in the States, but elsewhere in the world.
That said, getting past the "Emergency Room" question of fiscal stimulus or austerity at this juncture begs a larger question.
Which is how the economy and the governments that enable it need to be structured going forward. It is not just a question for the US Federal Government, it is a question for each and every state, and each and every local US government, and each and every country around the world.
Chickens hatched many years ago are coming home to roost. Be it incredibly generous pensions for government employees, lack of intelligent policy and planning to deal with a demographic worldwide that is getting older and not replenished that is leading in this country to Social Security and Medicare in jeopordy, the reality of the economic theory of comparative advantage, which has led to where production in a truly global economy has led to work permanently exiting this country.
I have a day job, although I majored in Economics in college and have an MBA from what is regarded as a top school. Still, I do not not know, and Steve, maybe you do, know what sort of thinking is being presented at the academic and policy leve about how we need a paradigm shift.
I don't view this as an ideological question. I view it as there was a "model" that worked for the last several decades, and it no longer is working. It needs re-engineering.
You can only spend so much time in the ER. It is fine to move on to the general wards and then to rehabilitation, but some practices and behaviors need to change if the "patient" is going to be well going forward.

An almost-daily look back at how the Philadelphia Flyers have fared on this day, recalling some of the more memorable moments, achievements, and events that shaped the organization throughout the club's storied history
Heading into tonight's tilt with the Ottawa Senators at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers have posted a 10-5-1-0 all-time record in 16 November 19 contests. Tonight marks the first meeting between the two clubs on this day in franchise history.
1967 -- First period goals from Don Blackburn, Lou Angotti, and Ed Van Impe staked the Flyers to a 3-0 lead, and Philadelphia managed to hold off a third period charge in a 3-2 triumph over the St. Louis Blues at the Spectrum.
Philadelphia dominated the opening 40 minutes by outshooting the visitors by a 24-9 margin, and the score could have been more lopsided if not for the goaltending of Glenn Hall. The Hall-of-Famer held his team in until they could break through Bernie Parent, which they finally did in the final frame when Ron Schock scored twice on the power play to make it a one-goal game. The second came with 3:48 remaining, but Parent slammed the door shut the rest of the way to seal the victory.
1970 -- Jim Johnson posted his second career hat trick and added an assist, while Bernie Parent stopped 27 of 29 shots to lead the Flyers to a 6-2 drubbing of the California Golden Seals at the Spectrum.
Johnson scored all three goals within the first forty minutes, with two of them coming in the final second of the first and second periods. Bobby Clarke, Serge Bernier, and Bill Lesuk (first NHL goal) also hit the back of the net for Philadelphia, while Barry Ashbee and Bernier added a pair of helpers apiece.
1977 -- Orest Kindrachuk scored two goals and assisted on another pair and Wayne Stephenson turned aside 22 of 24 shots as the Flyers blew out the Minnesota North Stars 7-2 at the Met Center.
Don Saleski and Ross Lonsberry each chipped in with a goal and two helpers, while Bob Dailey, Mel Bridgman, and Barry Dean also beat Minnesota netminder Pete LoPresti in the win. Defenseman Kevin McCarthy added a pair of assists.
1978 -- Each member of the LCB Line scored during a three-goal first period, and Bernie Parent stopped 19 of 22 shots in a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at the Spectrum.
The LCB Line accounted for seven points (three goals, four assists) in the opening frame, as Philadelphia attacked Rogie Vachon and the Detroit net by a 15-4 shots on goal advantage.
Bob Dailey made it 4-1 in the first minute of the second, and the Flyers hung on for the win.
1980 -- Bill Barber posted a goal and two assists and Rick St. Croix turned away 30 of 31 shots as the Flyers drubbed the New York Rangers 5-1 at Madison Square Garden.
Brian Propp, Tom Gorence, Behn Wilson, and Rick MacLeish also beat Doug Soetaert, who finished with 21 saves. Ron Greschner was the lone Ranger to solve St. Croix in the contest.
1985 -- Tim Kerr and Ed Hospodar each scored a pair of goals, but Mike Bossy and Bryan Trottier each netted two of their own and added three assists apiece as the New York Islanders snapped the Flyers' team-record 13-game winning streak with a wild 8-6 decision at Nassau County Coliseum.
Philadelphia scored four times with the man advantage and once while shorthanded, but found themselves playing catch-up for most of the contest after Hospodar had opened the scoring. New York notched the next five, including a pair from Denis Potvin and Greg Gilbert within a nine-second span in the first minute of the second period.
Ilkka Sinisalo and Rick Tocchet also scored for the Flyers, while defenseman Doug Crossman dealt out a career-high four assists.
Goalie Darren Jensen stopped 29 of 36 shots in suffering his first loss in four games since being recalled from the Hershey Bears following the tragic death of Pelle Lindbergh.
1986 -- Goals from Ron Sutter and Dave Brown stake Ron Hextall to a 2-0 lead at the second intermission, but Steve Thomas and Wendell Clark (1:25 remaining in the third) score to knot the game in a 2-2 tie with the Toronto Maple Leafs at Maple Leaf Gardens.
1987 -- Peter Zezel scored twice and Brian Propp added a goal and three helpers to back a 26-save performance from Wendell Young in a 7-5 triumph over the Los Angeles Kings at the Spectrum.
Rick Tocchet and Ron Sutter each chipped in with a goal and two assists apiece, while Dave Poulin and Lindsay Carson also beat Rollie Melanson in the win.
1988 -- Tim Kerr and Pelle Eklund each scored a pair of goals but Walt Poddubny and Michel Goulet notched early third period tallies to lift the Quebec Nordiques to a see-saw 6-5 win over the Flyers at Le Colisee.
Trailing 4-3 after one period, Mark Laforest was lifted in favor of Ron Hextall and Philadelphia received the second goals of the contest from both Eklund and Kerr to give the visitors a 5-4 edge heading into the final stanza.
Scott Mellanby scored the Flyers' other goal, while Murray Craven and Mark Howe added a pair of assists apiece.
1992 -- Mark Recchi and Brent Fedyk each posted a goal and two assists as the Crazy Eights Line struck for eight points to back Dominic Roussel's 22-save outing as the Flyers blasted Mike Richter and the New York Rangers 7-3 at the Spectrum.
Rod Brind'Amour also recorded a goal and three points, while Doug Evans notched his second two-goal game in the Orange-and-Black.
Rookie Eric Lindros scored once and added a helper, as the Crazy Eights increased their production since being re-united to 18 goals and 43 points over the last five contests (Recchi four goals, 17 points; Fedyk seven goals, 15 points; Lindros seven goals 11 points).
1995 -- Second-year defender Chris Therien made his first goal of the season a memorable one as he scored 32 seconds into overtime to lift the Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks at the Spectrum.
Goals by Pat Falloon and Anatoli Semenov gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead at the second intermission, but Vancouver threw 16 shots in the direction of Ron Hextall in the final twenty minutes and knotted the game on an Alexander Mogilny goal.
Hextall was excellent in turning away 34 of 36 shots in the winning effort.
2002 -- Simon Gagne scored once and assisted on another Flyers' marker and Roman Cechmanek made 17 saves in a 3-2 triumph over the Tampa Bay Lightning at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Jeremy Roenick and John LeClair also put the puck past Nikolai Khabibulin, who finished with 29 saves in the defeat.
Cechmanek had to be very good during the third period as Tampa outshot Philly by an 8-4 margin while nursing a one-goal lead.
2005 -- Jeff Carter snapped a 3-3 tie early in the third period and Simon Gagne scored twice to increase his NHL-best goal total to 20 in a 6-3 decision over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Civic Arena.
Carter was able to find his own rebound and knock it home after Pens' netminder Jocelyn Thibault lost sight of the puck along the goal line to give Philadelphia a lead they would not relinquish. The Flyers also got goals from Mike Richards, Michal Handzus, and Mike Knuble in the victory.
The goals gave Gagne 20 goals and 31 points in the club's first 19 games.
Antero Niittymaki stopped 27 of 30 Pittsburgh shots to improve his record to 4-1-1 for the season.
2011 -- Scott Hartnell scored two goals and had three points and Matt Read scored a pair of goals, but Bryan Little scored twice as the Winnipeg Jets built a 5-1 lead en route to a 6-4 win over the Flyers at MTS Centre in what would prove to be Chris Pronger's last NHL game.
The big defenseman logged 26:41 and assisted on both of Hartnell's power play markers, two nights after being sent head-first into the end boards on an unpenalized hit from behind by Martin Hanzal of the Phoenix Coyotes. Pronger unknowingly sustained a concussion and combined with taking a Mikhail Grabovski stick in the eye three weeks earlier, the future Hall-of-Fame defender has not been able to remain symptom-free and has been unable to return to action ever since.
November 19 Flyers' Birthday
Dmitry Yushkevich was born on this day in 1971 in Cherepovets, Russia. A sixth-round (122nd-overall) draft pick of the Flyers in 1991, the "Russian Tank" made his NHL debut in the 1992/93 season. He played in 197 games over the next three years before being dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs in August of 1995 then was re-acquired for the last 18 games of the 2002/03 campaign. In 215 regular season contests, Yushkevich posted 17 goals, 80 points, and 212 PIMs. He also appeared in the 1995 and 2003 postseasons in Philadelphia, notching a pair of goals, 11 points, and 14 PIMs in 28 games.

Global model predictions favour enhanced probability of above average rainfall for north India during the week ending August 21.
Adjoining plains of the foothills of the Himalayas are expected to receive heavy to heavy rainfall variously during this period.
The northeastern states, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, Haryana north and adjoining west Rajasthan may receive varying amounts of rain.
Rains are also indicated for the southernmost peninsula, especially Kerala, during this phase.
Northwest Pacific typhoon (cyclone) 'Kai-Tak' and a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal are the principal factors contributing to this wet phase.
Meanwhile, the Climate Prediction Centre of the US National Weather Services sees more rains materialising for the southern peninsula during the last week of the month.
Kerala, Tamil Nadu and parts of southern Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are likely to benefit from this session, it said.
An India Meteorological Department update on Friday evening said that the monsoon was active over Jharkhand, Bihar, and Kerala during past 24 hours until morning.
The causative low-pressure areas persisted over northwest Bay of Bengal. It is likely to cut a path to the north-northwest towards the Himalayan foothills.
Enabling conditions are developing towards the north and northwest of the country, the IMD said.
A warning valid for the next two days said that heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur at one or two places over Kerala and coastal Karnataka during next two days.
Heavy rainfall has been forecast also at one or two places over Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Lakshadweep during this period.
An extended outlook valid until Friday next said that fairly widespread rainfall would occur over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
These rains are expected to be particularly intense on Monday and Tuesday.
Rain has also been forecast at many places over the Northeastern States, Central India and the Indo-Gangetic plains.

Top 2012 college party schools
It's that time of year again.
Students eager to hit the books, freshly purchased backpacks in tow, sit excitedly in their first course of the semester and immediately begin making plans to hit the first big party.
Arizona State University, once one of the top party schools in the nation, came in at number 24 in a Newsweek study.
ASU's undergraduate class of more than 58,000 posted 989 on-campus disciplinary actions that involved alcohol and 553 on-campus arrests involving alcohol.
Since ASU fared so poorly, we thought we'd assemble Newsweeks' top ten so your future or current college student can consider the best place for their, erm, "studies."

In the springtime of the year when things start blooming and greening up, lots of folks just automatically start thinking about gardens and growing things. Well, in the town of Terry in Hinds County, Deborah Gant decided through her Focus on Natural Health Education and Community Development group that there needed to be a garden this year big enough to really do some good for some folks who are feeling the pinch because of the economy.
Deborah Gant: Our goal is to be able to feed, provide fresh fruit and vegetables to at least 30 needy families.
Walt: This past weekend, school agers from the area in association with their church groups and even a volunteer team of students that goes by the name of IMPACT from the University of Georgia, who gave up their spring break and came to Mississippi to help on several projects in the area, broke ground for the community garden. They even had an official groundbreaking ceremony with pictures for the paper and Facebook and everything. Thomas Stuks and Ammarah Mahmud are with the group, and are getting an education about people and America as they do their volunteer work.
Thomas Stuks: When you come to a community that you've never been to before and meet people you've never met in your life and they're willing to open their doors like Ms Gant has today and have us in for lunch and have us do a project like this and be able to do it with people in your own community that have the same kind of drive and passion it kind of fuels your fire to keep doing the same thing.
Walt: The first thing in the ground was fruit trees. Terry Mayor Rod Nicholson in his capacity as the State President of the Urban Forestry Council really likes the idea of starting with trees.
Rod Nicholson: you know that's something that we've done say in the town of Terry. Not fruit trees but just native trees around the high school and just several places you know that were damaged you know for Katrina and some other places.
Walt: Several levels of endeavor are going on here. The immediate is obvious.
Deborah: Everything is free. We're trying to feed those that are in need.
Walt: And the more intangible is being planted here today, too. Something for the future. These youngsters, and even college students, years from now will drive by a mature fruit orchard here someday and remember they had a hand in starting it. And remember the reason for it was to help their neighbors, and maybe that will remind them continue to do that in their day.

The Amplified Effect of One-to-One
Patient marketing usually takes a backseat to physician marketing and sales in many young pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. Our Vertex client, however, was determined to take a different approach. That meant developing one-to-one communications for patients across multiple consumer touch points.
Extrovertic implemented a relationship marketing program, from infrastructure design to creative execution.
- Building upon our knowledge of patient behaviors, we constructed a relationship marketing program that successfully prepared patients for, and got them through, a difficult treatment regimen
- We created a best-in-class, multichannel vendor network that enabled Vertex to communicate with patients on Day One of the launch
- Using relationship marketing best practices from inside and outside the pharmaceutical industry, we developed policies and practices to reduce risk
- Our branded and unbranded creative executions made people respond by phone, e-mail, and mail
To date, the program has met all key client KPIs.

With so many new sundries, there are bound to be at least a few trends. Last year, lavender, pickles, and flatbreads were everywhere, and while those are still hot, we also happened to catch a whole new batch of trends. Click through to see what was hot at the show — and is likely headed to a store near you. Frozen Microwaveable Grains What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dried ancient grains like quinoa and farro were big last year. This year, they were back — and bigger than ever, as evidenced by their new availability in frozen or microwaveable form. Photo: Nicole Perry 1 / 10 Seaweed Snacks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Individually portioned packs of nori are nothing new in Japan, but healthified, MSG-free versions seem poised to hit the American mass market like crazy, especially in assorted flavors like teriyaki, kimchi, and sesame. Photo: Nicole Perry 2 / 10 Chai What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Looks like we aren't the only ones with a penchant for chai; a handful of the show's vendors, like Blue Lotus Chai, Bhakti Chai, and Chai Diaries, offered their take on this warming blend of black tea and South Asian spices. This tea fad wasn't limited to beverages, either: we saw chai applications in other surprising forms like Sartori's BellaVitano Chai cheese.

But this week, we spotted more obscure fruits being freeze-dried, like mangoes, cantaloupe, and even tangerines (who knew it was possible to freeze-dry citrus?). Many of them were covered in chocolate for a satisfyingly sweet snack. Photo: Nicole Perry 7 / 10 Teas From the Garden What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Garden-inspired tea blends were everywhere, although it's too early to tell whether flavors like Numi's Broccoli-Cilantro blend will take off. We also spotted a Tupelo Honey Fig at the Tea Forté booth and noted Pukka's new Three Tulsi (a blend of three different types of holy basil).

The Word: David Beckham crashed his car right outside his house
They do say most accidents happen within 10 minutes of the home. That's true for David Beckham, unless his driveway is 11 minutes long. Well, I wouldn't rule that out, I guess.
Becks was pulling his Range Rover out of the driveway of his home in Beverly Hills with his 14-year-old son, Brooklyn, in the passenger seat, when he ran into an oncoming car, according to the Daily Mail.
Neither Becks, Brooklyn, nor the woman in the other car were hurt, but Beckham's $75,000 Range Rover was badly damaged – it lost its front bumper.
The true tragedy is that the fender-bender probably killed the Beckham family's endorphin high – earlier in the day, Posh, Becks, and Brooklyn all attended a spin class together. You know, like most teenage boys do with their parents.
Maybe Becks can take comfort in the new philosophy he's inspired: Becksistentialism. Andy Martin, creator of the new movement, told Metro that Beckham's inspiring partly because he's a blank slate. "That's right to an extent but he's also good because he acts philosophically without being articulate. There are messages in his tattoos and haircuts. He's also a bit irresistible as a subject because he is seen as not thinking, which is probably a mistake, and I rectify that."

Lots of South Bend natives cherish the classic film Rudy as a treasure trove for South Bend culture. Now we'll have a new film to call our own. Oscar-nominated director, John Hancock, is filming a new movie here in South Bend called "Swan Song." Hancock grew up in LaPorte, and is best known for "Bang the Drum Slowly" and the holiday movie "Prancer."
"Swan Song" is not only being filmed in South Bend, but they've cast a South Bend native as one of the stars. Actor Anthony Panzica, a John Adams high graduate, said his love of acting started right here in Michiana. "I went, like seven or eight years ago, to see a play on a Sunday matinee at Firehouse Theater in South Bend, and I kind of fell in love with it. I said, 'I think I would like to try this,'" said Anthony. "It's been a progression, but you know, I've learned a lot along the way and I learned right here in South Bend."For one 13-year-old girl from Indiana, it will be her big film debut. Grace Tarnow says acting is her passion and has had some good coaches to get her started,"John [Hancock] and [co-star] Dorothy [Tristan] teach me a lot throughout the day and they do it in such a nice way. They're like grandparents to me."The 'coming of age' film focuses on a troubled young girl moving in with her grandmother. The two don't quite get along until the grandma discovers the child's talented voice and helps her land a spot in a production of "Alice in Wonderland'. When the grandmother develops Alzheimer's Disease, she must impress her wisdom upon her granddaughter before she runs out of time. The scene of the "Alice in Wonderland Show" will be shot at IUSB. The crew needs about 400 extras to participate, so locals are encouraged to start sending in contact information to email@example.com. Don't forget to attach a recent headshot of yourself.For more information about the movie, and other FilmAcres productions, check out their Facebook page.

Australian Film Theory and Criticism
Volume 1: Critical Positions
Distributed for Intellect Ltd
192 pages | 7 x 9
The first part of a planned three-volume work devoted to mapping the transnational history of Australian film studies, AustralianFilm Theory and Criticism, Volume 1 provides an overview of the period between 1975 and 1990, during which the discipline first became established in the academy.
Tracing critical positions, personnel, and institutions across this formative period, Noel King, Constantine Verevis, and Deane Williams examine a multitude of books and journal articles published in Australia and distributed internationally though such processes as publication in overseas journals, translation, and reprinting. At the same time, they offer important insights about the origins of Australian film theory and its relationship to such related disciplines as English, and cultural studies. Ultimately, Australian Film Theory and Criticism, Volume 1 delineates the historical implications—and reveals the future possibilities—of establishing new directions of inquiry for film studies in Australia and internationally.

Dear Friends,
2009 has been a remarkable year for the High Line. After spending the spring working on the final stages of construction, we opened the first section of the park in June. Since then, we estimate that nearly 2 million people have visited. We hope you were among these first visitors to the High Line, and that you return again and again in 2010.
The High Line's first year as a public park has been truly amazing. We've pulled together some of our favorite pictures from this incredible, historic year. We hope you enjoy them!
We hope you'll continue to support the High Line as we prepare for 2010.
Many thanks, and happy New Year,
Park visitors stroll and relax on the Diller von Furstenberg Sundeck between 14th and 15th Streets. The Sundeck is one of the High Line's most popular gathering spots, especially for sunbathers on bright summer days, and as a place to watch the sunset. Photo by Iwan Baan"...The High Line is a hit, and not just with tourists but with New Yorkers who are openly relishing a place where they can reflect and relax enough to get a new perspective on Manhattan."
– Diane Cardwell, For High Line Visitors, Park is a Railway Out of Manhattan, New York Times
In addition to all the shoveling the High Line staff did to keep the park open this weekend, our temporary Maintenance & Operations facility has been moved down to the southern entrance of the High Line, at street level. In order to get ready for the joining of Section 1 to Section 2 (still under construction) the M&O trailers (where our gardeners, maintenance workers, and Rangers house equipment and offices) were moved 10 blocks south, just west of the Gansevoort Stairway.
The trailers and containers were crane-lifted off the High Line and loaded onto flatbed trucks that transported everything to their new southern location, where they will rest until construction for the new Whitney Museum begins at Gansevoort and Washington Street, adjacent to the High Line.
If you haven't already caught glimpses of the High Line dressed in white, check out this snow-strewn photo that our Maintenance & Operations staff took this weekend.
In order to clear the snow, the crew used various tools and equipment including: a Bobcat mini-tracker with spinning broom, power brooms, push brooms, snow-blowers, shovels, and eco-friendly ice melt. Brooms (and power brooms) are the best way to remove snow safely and efficiently from the concrete planking and pathways.
We are proud to announce that the High Line has been bestowed with an award from the U.S. section of the International Association of Art Critics: First Prize for "Best Show in a Public Space." I have the honor of accepting this award at a reception at the Guggenheim Museum, alongside esteemed colleagues. A complete list of awardees is here (PDF). Thank you AICA USA!
The Manhattan Borough President's office is currently accepting applications for community board membership! Community boards are charged with representing community interests on crucial issues of development, land use, zoning, and city service delivery. Serving on a board is an incredible opportunity to make changes in your community, advise your elected officials on the issues you care about, and be at the forefront of sound community-based planning decisions.

Beautiful, cosy, peaceful home
We stayed for 2 weeks. The house is in a gated community with excellent facilities. The house is furnished to a high standard and is fully equipped for every need. We felt very much at home there and the Master Suite was fab. There were 7 of us staying at the house but we didn't feel crowded at all. The lanai is huge and perfect for dining, dozing or just chilling! Love the pool lights at night too! Would definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to stay there again next time we visit Naples.
Very well maintained, and the location was great!
Property was very nice and we would stay there again. Teresa was very easy to work with and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the Players Club-the restaurant, Pasta Night and the pool. We went on a 4th of July Cruise on the Naples Princess, and enjoyed a great meal at Trulucks. Also really enjoyed the entertainment and dancing at the beachside bar/patio at the Naples Beach Hotel on Sunday nights.
An Exceptionally pleasant Stay!
It was my family's and my absolute delight to stay in such a beautiful home. This child friendly house is exactly as the description says and so much more. Every detail is luxurious and it is equipped with everything a family vacation needs, from a state of the art, gourmet kitchen, to bikes and board games. It was so relaxing to be in such a spacious home, with open floor plan living areas and beautifully updated bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything is refreshingly new and has been magnificently decorated with special attention to colour and layout. The whole house is extremely clean and very well maintained, including the gardens, paint jobs, swimming pool and even the exterior of the house. The majors is a peaceful, yet central neighborhood, just minutes from shops and restaurants. Close to Marco Island and also Naples Pier Beach. The Lely Resort Players Club and Spa, which offers the most amazing amenities, was one of our favorite places to hang out, swim, eat and play tennis. The owners are kind, lovely people and were so helpful and easy to work with. Being international tourists on vacation all the way from Australia, this house was a beloved home away from home for us and we were heart broken to leave it. I would most certainly recommend this property to all of my family and friends and plan to return as soon as possible.

Like a pesky fly that you swat away from your face but then returns a few minutes later, the Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") is once again vexing lawmakers and citizens alike.
It appears no one likes the Alternative Minimum Tax – although some like the revenue it generates for the Treasury. According to Bloomberg,
"The minimum tax was created in 1969 to prevent 155 wealthy Americans from eliminating tax liabilities by claiming excessive deductions, credits and exemptions. The tax works by replacing common deductions such as those for medical expenses and state and local taxes with a flat exemption when the itemized deductions become too large relative to income….Because the exemption was never indexed for inflation, the levy has ensnared a growing number of Americans as incomes and the value of deductions rise. "
How Many Americans Should Pay AMT?
For most of its existence, the AMT has affected less than one percent of taxpayers in any one year. However, estimates indicate that under the current law and exemption, up to 22 million taxpayers would owe additional taxes under AMT in 2007. That is a quite an increase since the law was instated in 1969 to beat extra taxes out of 155 wealthy people. In fact, to get to 22 million taxpayers affected in 2007 from 155 taxpayers affected in 1969 requires nearly a 37% annual growth rate.

Oxford City 0 Oxford Utd 1
10:14pm Tuesday 15th July 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
A TYRONE Marsh penalty ensured Oxford United saw off Oxford City to make it two wins out of two outings in pre-season.
The striker came off the bench to win and then convert the 69th-minute spot kick.
It decided a keenly-fought derby where the visitors created the majority of the chances without making the most of them.
Both sides came away with reasons for encouragement and areas to work on, with City in particular able to take heart in what was their first run-out of pre-season.
Michael Collins, hours after completing his deal, went straight into United's starting line-up, along with fellow new signing Danny Hylton.
But it was City, who won the corresponding fixture 5-1 last summer, were the first to have a sight of goal.
Triallist Javi Rodriguez let fly in the tenth minute, but Max Crocombe held on.
At the other end Mark Scott was the busier of the two goalkeepers before half-time, as United threatened sporadically.
Their best chance came on 19 minutes, when Collins played in Josh Shama down the left.
The youngster crossed for Hylton, who was denied a debut goal as his stabbed shot was blocked by Scott.
City's goalkeeper was nearly caught out nine minutes later.
Hawtin, a busy presence on the right flank, crossed deep for Mullins to direct a header into the ground which almost looped up and over Scott, who quickly readjusted.
Scott was called into action again on the stroke of half-time.
Collins crisply found Shama, who spun and shot from the edge of the box to force the goalkeeper to turn the ball round his left-hand post.
Despite a lack of chances, City had been well in the game before the break and they came close to a spectacular goal just before the hour.
A long diagonal ball picked out Felipe Barcelos, whose first-time volley was low and hard, but Crocombe was well positioned to save without fuss.
The Brazilian striker showed another flash of skill three minutes later with a back heel to set up Lewis Wilson, but Johnny Mullins got across to make an excellent block.
It was the hosts' best spell of the game, but United took the lead shortly after replacing all ten outfield players at the same time.
Marsh leapt highest at a 69th-minute corner and when his header struck an arm, referee Dan Leach had no hesitation in awarding a spot kick.
The striker, fresh off the bench, confidently found substitute Alex Lynch's left-hand corner from 12 yards.
Adam Learoyd, another of City's replacements, came close to an equaliser with a firm header which flew wide as the game entered the final quarter of an hour.
Marsh and Lewis Hayden came close to making sure of the victory late on, but United saw out the closing minutes to come out on top.
They visit Didcot Town on Saturday, while City visit Wantage.
City: Scott, Benjamin, Lapoujade, Pond, Brown, Preece, Wilson, Mullings, Barcelos, Rodriguez, Winters.
Subs used: Lynch, Stonehouse, Parry, Isaac, Unzueta, Cooper, Learoyd.
United 1st half: Crocombe, Bevans (Hunt 63), Raynes (Long 63), Mullins (Grant 63), Newey (Welch-Hayes 63), Collins (Ashby 63), Rose (Hayden 63), Hawtin (Humphreys 63), Shama (Marsh 63), Potter (Kitson 63), Hylton (J Roberts 63).
United 2nd half: L Roberts.
Attendance: 903.

It looks like Appleton wants to play a high-paced attacking, positive, style of football, keeping the ball on the deck. He's got a lot to work on, but he's taking us in the right direction. Exciting times ahead.

Without regular and diligent cleaning, your wonderful new pipe will become a soggy, ill-tasting mess, and will no longer provide you
with the smoking pleasure you desire. To eliminate such problems, you need to embark on a regimen of regular cleaning and maintainance
for your pipes.
Materials Needed:
Concerning 'Rotation':
A smokers rotation is the number of pipes they own, and the order they are
smoked in. This is an important concept to the care and cleaning of your
pipes. First and foremost, because pipes need a rest in between smokes if
they are
to continue to function optimally.
Before Smoking:
The care and cleaning of your pipe begins with your very first smoke, and should continue forward from there. Before each smoke, run a pipe
cleaner, either bristle or regular, through the stem to dislodge any leftover ash and dottle, and gently tap your pipe on a cork knocker or
the palm of your hand to remove these obstructions from the bowl.
While Smoking:
During a smoke is an excellent time to begin the process of caring for your pipe. You can begin by paying careful attention when lighting
your pipe. Keep your flame source over the tobacco, so that it does not char the rim of your pipe. If the rim of your pipes begin to develop
a bit of a dark tint to them, it can usually be removed by moistening a pipe cleaner with saliva and gently rubbing the rim of the pipe with
it. Done regularly, this will eliminate the cause of the charred, blackened rims so common on un-cared-for pipes. During smoking is also when
you will notice if a more thorough cleaning is in order. If a pipe begins to taste sour, salty, or just plain bad while smoking it, it is
probably time for a good cleaning. See Periodic Cleaning below.
After Smoking:
First, a warning: Do not remove the stem of a pipe while it is still warm. This will cause the stem to loosen, and can cause you to crack
the shank or break the tenon of your pipe. At the end of each smoke, your pipe should be given a good cleaning. Allow the pipe to cool, and
then stir up any ash and dottle left in the bottom of the bowl. Placing one finger or the palm of your hand over the top of the bowl, shake
the pipe for a few seconds to evenly distribute the ash along the inside walls of the bowl, which will greatly speed the formation of 'cake',
a protective layer of carbonized tobacco and ash inside your pipe. Cake acts as an insulator, greatly extending the life of your pipe and
guarding against burn outs. See the Periodic Cleaning section below for instructions on maintaining the cake, Dump out the remaining ash and
dottle, and run a bristle pipe cleaner through the stem until it is just barely visible in the bottom of the bowl. Remove it, and either turn
it around or use another pipe cleaner, repeating this process until the pipe cleaners come out clean. Moisten a pipe cleaner with saliva and
rub the mouthpiece with it to remove any buildup there. Blow gently through the stem of the pipe to dislodge any leftover ash and wipe your
pipe down with a soft cloth, perhaps impregnated with a compound such as Briar Pipe Wipe. If you wish, you may insert a regular pipe cleaner
into the stem of the pipe before placing it back on the rack, in order to absorb any residual moisture, but if you are diligent in using
your pipe cleaners, this is not necessary. Place the pipe back on it's rack or stand and allow it to rest, hopefully for two to four days
before it is smoked again.
You will want to, on occasion, give your pipes a more thorough cleaning than just swabbing out the stem after smoking. Most smokers do this
fairly regularly, some going so far as to do so after all of their pipes have been smoked once, thus providing themselves with a fresh,
clean rotation of pipes. You will have to experiment a bit with how often you do this clenaing to find what works best for you. To start this
cleaning, carefully remove the stem of the pipe from the bowl and lay the two pieces on a paper towel. Dip a regular pipe cleaner in alcohol
and run it through the stem, from the tenon to the mouthpiece, pulling it through. It will most likely come out with a bit of black or brown
gunk on it. Follow this pipe cleaner with a dry one, and repeat until the moist pipe cleaner comes out the same color it was when it went in.
Push one final dry pipe cleaner through to remove any moisture and set the stem aside. Using bristle pipe cleaners, moistened with alcohol,
vigorously swab out the airhole of the pipe, alternating with dry, regular pipe cleaners. Don't be afraid to use a lot of pipe cleaners doing
this. Pipe cleaners are cheap, new pipes aren't. If the airhole of your pipe is large enough in diameter that there is little resistance when
you do this, you may want to fold the cleaner in half in order to scrub the sides of the airhole properly. Once your dry pipe cleaner comes
out of the airhole the same color it was when it went in, run one more dry cleaner through the airhole to absorb any residual moisture. Using
a cotton swab or shank brush, clean out the tenon, the portion of the pipe where the stem attaches to the bowl. a doubled over regular pipe
cleaner will do in a pinch. If your stem or bowl has a band, now is the time to polish it, using a good silver, or other metal, polish,
depending on what your band is made of. Carefully reinsert the stem into the bowl, and give the pipe a good wipe with a soft cloth, perhaps
impregnated with a compound such as Briar Pipe Wipe. Cleaning over, allow your pipe to sit for a day or so before smoking it, to allow the
alcohol to completely evaporate. If you have cleaned most or all of your briar pipes at once, now is a good time to smoke your meerschaums
and corncobs you have been neglecting.

the author uses izanami on himself. haha
also alot itachi fanboys neglect, that itachi cant use his genjutsu anyway regardless.
Thats a big disadvantage on itachi on the way he fights.
controlling someone without killing ,
sounds like uchiha stuff (sharingan) .
no other shinobi can make other do what they want them to do (except naruto's talk no jutsu ).
so are they gonna pull it off ,
shy .. seems very difficult yet , uchiha bros r sucking kabuto's **** from 3 chapters now.
Sasuke would own kabuto 1 v 1...becauuse...Sasuke fan boys said so..TRUE STORY!
Sasuke fanboys > kishi..
Reality isn't real anymore just the sweet lust after sasukes pale virgin skin....gross...fml

Kabuto being the snake is fighting off the crow which is itachi, to get the egg which is sasuke.
LOL Good use of word's.
