This week made it even harder to convince the voters that this country has a genuine, major opposition party. The Congressional Democrats have now completely capitulated to the Republican advocates of supply-side economics — what the first President Bush once called "voodoo economics" – by overwhelmingly voting for Dubya's tax cut package. Only one, lone Democratic Senator–retiring octogenarian Fritz Hollings of
Kerry – although he didn't show up for the vote — issued a statement supporting the tax cuts, even though (as the Washington Post reported), they include "an array of business tax breaks" worth $13 billion to Corporate America. (On Monday, Public Campaign will issue a study of how the corporate interests bought their tax cuts with campaign cash.)
The folly of the Democrats' position was underscored by a new study just released by Citizens for Tax Justice, about the effects of previously-passed Bush tax cuts on the top Fortune 500 Companies. Many of these companies made bigger profits after taxes than they did before taxes!
Here are some of the key CTJ findings:
· Twenty-eight corporations enjoyed negative federal income tax rates over the entire 2001-03 period. These companies, whose pretax
· 46 companies paid zero or less in federal income taxes in 2003 alone. These 46
companies, almost one out of six of the companies in the study, reported
profits in 2003 of $42.6 billion, yet received tax rebates totaling $5.4 billion.
· Almost as many companies, 42, paid no tax, reporting $43.5 billion in pretax profits, but $4.9 billion in tax rebates in 2002. From 2001 to 2003, reporting $43.5 billion in pretax profits, but $4.9 billion in tax rebates. From 2001 to 2003, the number of no-tax companies jumped from 33 to 46, an increase of 40 percent.
· The average effective rate for all 275 companies dropped by a fifth, from
21.4 percent in 2001 to 17.2 percent in 2002 and 2003, less than half the statutory 35 percent corporate tax rate that corporations ostensibly are supposed to pay.
The feckless folly of the Democrats' election-year cowardice in supporting this plan insures that the slashing of the social safety net will speed up to a breakneck pace in the next four years. Why? Because, to quote that WashPost article again, "With the approval of the legislation, virtually all of Bush's first-term tax agenda — four tax measures worth nearly $1.9 trillion over 10 years — would survive a potential second Bush term." With so much of the federal budget already devoted to mandated spending, and both Bush and Kerry committed to increasing already-bloated military budgets, about the only area of discretionary spending left to cut – to fight a budget deficit that will soar from $4.3 trillion today to $l8 trillion in the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office study of the just-passed bill — is, of course, the social safety net. The poor will, once again, pay for keeping the rich in clover, and the gap between the Two Americas that John Edwards likes to talk about inevitably will widen to even more shamefully uncivilized levels.
This me-too-ism by Kerry and the Congressional Democrats can only make it more difficult to convince voters to pull the Democratic lever in November. To understand why, take a look at two of the major, credible polls released this week. In the CBS poll, asked if it "was clear what Kerry wants to accomplish as president," only a little more than a third of voters (37%) said it was. And the NBC/Wall Street journal poll found "just 36 percent who believe the Kerry campaign has a message." With only 38 days left before the voting starts, those are killer numbers, far worse for the Kerry campaign than the horserace numbers in every poll showing Bush with a lead, great or small. The electorate is unlikely to embrace a presidential candidate if they don't think he's speaking clearly to their concerns, and they find he has no comprehensible message.
These polling numbers are only partly explained by the bizarre decision by Kerry and his campaign to virtually abandon economic issues in these final weeks of the campaign. Most TV commentators are saying that Kerry's new "seven-point plan" to fight terrorism, issued today, is hardly distinguishable from what Bush is doing now (and it's the terrorism issue that has given Bush a gender gap over Kerry among women, as the polls cited above show). And the emptiness of Kerry's principal assertion in his much-ballyhooed NYU Iraq speech — that he could persuade foreign leaders to send their troops into Iraq to replace America's — was again exposed by the French Foreign Minister's speech at the UN yesterday, in which he declared that, "Neither today nor tomorrow will France commit itself militarily in Iraq."
Only the debates offer a feeble last hope for Kerry to win this election. But Bush's retorts to Kerry in them are predictable: You supported my war, and you supported my tax cuts — why, then, should
I'll still cast an effective vote to defeat George Bush by pulling the Democratic lever — but I find that the clothespin I've put on my nose to take that position must pinch harder and harder as the weeks go by….

The Placer County Board of Supervisors took an important step Tuesday down a path begun a year ago that seeks to ensure the best balance between high-priority public-service needs and available revenues.
At Tuesday's meeting, board members informally approved a multi-year budget framework that seeks to balance county priorities with available resources.
"It is clear that county revenue is gradually recovering from the recession years, but is not increasing quickly enough to keep pace with projected cost increases," said Board Chairman Jim Holmes. "The new framework will help us make sure the county continues to live within its means, but still meets the public's high-priority service needs."
He noted that the new framework will complement the county's transition to priority-based budgeting, an approach focused on allocating resources based upon the highest-priority programs and services. The county plans to phase in the priority-based approach over several years.
"Priority-based budgeting will focus on communication; measuring performance; and linking identified priorities, funding, and results so county residents know exactly what they are getting for their taxpayer dollars," explained County Executive Officer David Boesch.
Tuesday's board guidance will allow the county budget team to develop a balanced proposed budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year consistent with the framework. It also will enable implementation of departmental supplemental funding requests within available revenues.
The board annually adopts a proposed budget in June so it has an interim spending plan in place when the new fiscal year begins July 1. Board members hold budget workshops in August before adopting a final budget in September that reflects updated revenue and expenditure estimates.
The multi-year approach is part of a comprehensive effort by the county to make certain its operations can be sustained in the coming years. It is based on the county's Budget and Financial Policy, and the overriding principle is identifying the most reasonable balance between county priorities and available revenues over the next several years. It is intended to:
Underlying the effort is a recognition that county revenue will not increase fast enough to keep pace with projected cost increases.
"The long-term challenge appears manageable, but requires continued prioritization of limited resources to address costs pressures that are continuing to outpace expected revenue growth," explained County Finance and Budget Operations Manager Graham Knaus.
Placer County expects gradual increases in property tax revenue over the next few years and continued annual sales tax funding growth of 3 to 5 percent. Revenue from most other sources is projected to remain flat.
Potential cost increases facing the county include opening and operating the new county jail at the Bill Santucci Justice Center in Roseville. Knaus told board members that the County Executive Office is working with the Sheriff's Office to develop a phased plan for opening the jail.
The multi-year model also calls for bolstering county reserve funds, supporting county infrastructure, and reducing the need to use one-time revenue to fund ongoing operations.
Placer County's goals also include making the budget-development process more transparent so it is easier for the public to provide input. In keeping with that goal, budget documents for the 2013-14 fiscal year are posted on the county website at www.placer.ca.gov. The "County Budget" link in the upper left corner of the home page can be used to view budget documents.

Recap | Results
FGCU Uses Strong Second Round to Take Sizeable Lead at Stetson Invite
DeLAND, Fla. – Behind a five-under par 283 in Monday's second round, the FGCU men's golf team will enter the final round of the eight-team Stetson Invitational at Victoria Hills Golf Club with a 14-stroke lead. The Eagles have won the tournament title three of the last four years, including two straight.
The Eagles were five strokes better than anyone else in the morning round with a 294, but followed with their fourth under-par team score of the season in the afternoon. FGCU's two-round 577 is 14 strokes ahead of second place High Point and 21 shots clear of host Stetson in third.
FGCU will take the par-72, 7,082-yard course tomorrow morning in search of its fourth straight team title. The Eagles have won Cobra-PUMA Invitational (Xavier), John Dallio Memorial (DePaul) and Mission Inn Collegiate Classic (St. John's). FGCU will begin the final round on holes 1-3, beginning with a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start.
As a team, FGCU led the filed on the first day in par 3 scoring (+6), par 4 scoring (+11) and birdies (32). Four different Eagles are currently in the top 10, while no other team has more than three players in the top 20.
Leading the way was the Fort Myers duo of senior Alex Medinis (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers HS) and freshman Jack Hernandez (Fort Myers, Fla./Bishop Verot HS), who each own a share of third place. Medinis was one just three players in the 43-player field to go even-par or lower in each round on Monday. Medinis carded a team-low round one score of one-under 71 and followed with an even-par 72. Medinis leads the field in par 4 scoring at an impressive three-under and has a team-best eight birdies.
Hernandez continues to impress in his first full semester of competition, as his four-under par 68 in the afternoon equaled the best round of the day by the entire field. Hernandez's opening round 75 contributed to the team score, bringing his consecutive scores streak to 14 to start his career. The Fort Myers product leads the field in par 5 scoring (-4) thanks to carding the team's lone eagle and six birdies.
Junior Kyle English (Bloomington, Ill./University HS) also rebounded from a first round 75 with the team's third under-par round of the day. English's two-under 70 in the afternoon moved him up three spots into sole possession of sixth place. English is tied with Hernandez for the team lead of 24 pars.
Playing in the No. 1 spot in the lineup, senior Brandon Pena's (Clewiston, Fla./Clewiston HS) consecutive counting scores streak increased to 41 with back-to-back 73s. Pena sits in sole possession of seventh place with a 146. He's among the leaders in par 5 scoring (-2), par 4 scoring (+2) and pars (23).

Longboat Key Town Commission candidates debate issues
Date: January 11, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
Election season has officially begun on Longboat Key.
Longboat Key Town Commission candidates took to the podium at the Longboat Key Republican Party luncheon Friday at the Sarasota Yacht Club to answer a variety of questions.
The hour-long debate allowed candidates to answer a variety of questions.
When asked what the most important thing the candidates would like to accomplish if elected on March 12, these were their responses:
"A long-term strategic plan that shows where we are going and how we are going to get there. Not just objectives, but a strategy that supports it. If we can get that long-term thinking in place, it will be the most important thing I will ever do on the commission."
— Commissioner Jack Duncan (running unopposed)
"Comprehensive Planning is the most important and to get zoning codes adjusted in the immediate future."
— Commissioner Terry Gans
"I also believe in strategic planning, long-term and shorterm. Management and fiscal review is also very important as well. It's important we look at everything."
— Commission candidate Irwin Pastor
"We need to get the codes reviewed and the Comp Plan. But beyond that, I feel like a kid in the candy store. There's so many things to choose from and I want it all."
— Commissioner Phil Younger
"I want us to become the premier name on people's lips when they say where they want to retire. I'm a firm believer in marketing."
— Commission candidate Gene Jaleski
"I would like to see a community center. We will perform an outreach for one and it will help draw this community together."
— Mayor Jim Brown
"One simple thing I will accomplish is to have a Comp Plan that reflects consensus of the folks on this island and a zoning code that implements it."
— Commission candidate Larry Grossman
• Pastor will challenge incumbent Gans for the one-year at-large seat.
• Jaleski will challenge incumbent Younger for the two-year at-large seat.
• Grossman will challenge incumbent Brown for the District 4 seat.
The election will be held on Tuesday, March 12.
For more information on the debate, pick up a copy of Thursday's Jan. 17 Longboat Observer.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com.
Currently 1 Response
- 1.
- Any candidate that does not recognize the most important job they face in the next year is creation of an intelligent Comp Plan and corresponding zoning codes does not deserve my vote. A Community Center as the number one priority, please! A marketing strategy, really? I believe the Town Commission needs direction and better leadership.

It may be cold outside, but not quite cold enough for winter enthusiasts to go ice fishing.
Many fisherman have already jumped the gun, but the U.S. Coast Guard says it's too soon. Just three days ago, a man lost his life after falling through the ice.
That man has been identified as Donald Thorpe. Oakland County officials say the Holly man fell through the ice Monday while fishing on Hartwick Lake.
The Coast Guard says if you're willing to take the risk, prepare for the worst.
If you plan on getting on the ice, make sure you have some key items, including a life jacket, screw drivers and proper clothing, like a dry suit.
Also, low water levels are creating dangerous conditions on the Saginaw Bay. If you plan on breaking out the snowmobile, keep in mind that rocks are protruding through the ice and it could pose a serious danger to drivers. Area residents near Linwood Beach are warning folks to be extra careful.

Shots ring out at an Orange Mound apartment complex as frightened tenants scurry for cover.
UPDATE: We've just learned MPD did go to the scene, took a report and they have identified the suspect in the video. No arrest has been made at this time.
WATCH VIDEO: Woman firing gun outside of apartment
This outburst is the latest incident to reflect the life-threatening conditions tenants of the Avery Park Place Apartments have been living with over the last month.
It's a facility where ownership and management appear to be non-existent for families who say they have nowhere else to go.
Terri Brown says the apartment she shares with her daughter has been broken into three times. At night they hear gunshots and empty apartments being ransacked by looters.
She came to the Avery Park Apartments with hope for a better life but all she has left is desperation.
Consider it your official welcome to the "hell on earth" inhumane conditions now being endured at the crumbling Avery Park Place Apartments in Orange Mound. With her daughter Andrea huddled by her side, Terri Brown, remembers the high hopes she had when two years ago she moved into the complex located in the 29-hundred block of Park.
"When I got here most of the units were empty. But, it was clean and it looked promising...looked like something that could turn into a nice place to live," says Brown.
But, since that time, Brown says there have been four different changes in management with the rent going up each time, while maintenance became non-existent. Earlier this month tenants saw a man, who had been claiming to be management, for the last time.
"Only time he showed up was to collect rent. If you called him about repairs, he said call the office. But there was no number for the office. If you asked him for an office number he hangs up.
Only pictures can tell the true story of degradation and unhealthy squalor surrounding the less than half full complex, now occupied by a dozen adults and nearly two dozen children ranging in age from 3 to 16. One mother of four, who did not want to appear on camera, still voiced her fears about what's happening in this urban "no man's land."
"Kicking the doors and stuff open. Snatching hot water heaters and stuff. Throwing bricks and stuff through the windows at nighttime. Dump trash, come over here shoot guns. Whatever they want. We ain't got no home over here no more."
Brown, who like her daughter, suffers from epilepsy and other medical issues that's placed her on disability says she's has made an effort to find the apartment's owner.
However, it proved to be a dead end.
Brown said, "I called the State Assessor's Office...and they gave me a name and number for a gentleman that was in California. But, she said he had forfeited on his taxes and the state has taken over the property…I can't up and move, because I don't have anywhere to go. I'm here until I can do better."
Hopefully, she and her daughter will survive long enough at Avery Park to wait for those better days to finally arrive...somewhere else... they can again call home.
We want to know what you think: Is the city doing enough to prosecute delinquent owners of blighted properties?

FGCU Athletics adds Naples Advisory Committee to Complement Fundraising Efforts
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU Eagles Club Advisory Board has announced the creation of the Naples Advisory Committee (NAC) in order to reach a larger audience and stretch awareness and support for FGCU Athletics. The NAC was established by Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh and Board Chairman Brian Rasnick to expand into Naples on the heels of the men's basketball team's run to the Sweet 16 and the genesis of "Dunk City."
Tom Robinson, principal relationship manager at Wells Fargo, was selected by Rasnick to chair the committee. "We are excited to bring the Sweet 16 to Collier County and help raise awareness around FGCU Athletics," said Robinson, an Eagles Club board member and Neapolitan. "Our goal is to make FGCU everyone's hometown team."
Rasnick's comments on the origination of the committee included goals for the group, but focused on the advancement of FGCU Athletics and the creation of access to FGCU programs, coaches and student-athletes for both loyal and new supporters south of campus.
"I am so pleased that Tom Robinson accepted the position of Chairman of the Naples Advisory Committee," Rasnick said. "With his knowledge of Naples and numerous relationships, we are expecting great results."
The NAC is comprised of 20 professionals in Collier County who will volunteer with the goal of helping expand the FGCU Athletics brand. The group will organize events, support individual or group visits to campus and make introductions between FGCU Athletics and the great sports fans in Collier County.
Plans to expand the committee structure north into Sarasota County are already under way. The heightened excitement for FGCU Athletics has both Kavanagh and Rasnick believing that bolstering the support system will pay dividends. Through increased fundraising efforts, FGCU will be positioned to continue the successes of its 15 Division-I programs, while retaining talented coaches and support staff and increasing the overall experience for each of its 240 student-athletes.
Rasnick, who has three kids under the age of 10, confirmed that one of his primary goals for the NAC is to keep some of the most talented youth right here in SWFL, stating, "I want to hear kids from Sarasota to Marco Island saying that they want to go to FGCU when they go to college."
For those interested in joining the Naples Advisory Committee, or learning more about how they can get involved, contact Graham Diemer, FGCU director of athletic advancement, at 239-590-7107 or via email at email@example.com.
– The FGCU Eagles are proud to be Southwest Florida's Hometown Team and part of the A-Sun Conference with six men's and nine women's Division I intercollegiate programs. Ticket information for upcoming events is available by calling 239.590.7145. Additional results and schedule information are available at fgcuathletics.com. –

PEORIA, Ill -- This is the first year District 150 High School students can register for classes online.
A registration tutorial was offered during Monday night's school board meeting.
Those who helped bring Skyward Student Access to the district say it puts education back in the students' hands.
Students without internet access at home can use a computer lab or get assistance from a guidance counselor.
"The only thing that I've had questions on is just some questions on how to do the process," said Richwoods High School Guidance Counselor Ron Dwyer. "It hasn't been about, 'I don't have access.' I haven't received those; it's more about how to do the process, which we're able to answer easily over the phone or we tell them to come in the next day and we'll work through it with them at school."
Skyward Student Access registration is available until midnight on Sunday, February 3.
School officials say students can even access Skyward through their smart phones to register.

May-Hegglin thrombocytopenia
May-Hegglin anomaly is one of the MYH9 syndromes (a group that also includes three other allelic variants with similar phenotypic expression: Sebastian, Fechtner and Epstein syndrome), which are characterized by a macrothrombocytopenia that is usually severe but paradoxically results in few if any symptoms. The prevalence of May-Hegglin anomaly is unknown. Macrothrombocytopenia is defined by the presence of giant platelets, with a diameter equal or superior to the diameter of a red cell. May-Hegglin anomaly, as well as Sebastian syndrome, is a purely hematological form of MYH9 syndrome. It is characterized by the presence of cytoplasmic inclusions in cells of the granulocyte line. The cytoplasmic inclusions characterizing May-Hegglin anomaly are egg-shaped, 3 to 5 mm diameter, stain in blue in the presence of May-Grünwald-Giemsa (MGG) and are referred to as pseudo-Döhle bodies. The hemorrhagic tendency associated with this syndrome is generally mild, half of the patients being asymptomatic. However, 40% of patients have abnormal bleeding (thrombopenic purpura: epistaxis, profuse menstruations, ecchymoses). May-Hegglin thrombocytopenia is transmitted following an autosomal dominant pattern, most often as a result of point mutations in the MYH9 gene. However, twenty percent of the cases are thought to be sporadic, associated to a de novo mutation or to mosaicism. The MYH9 gene, localized to 22q12-13, encodes the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain type IIA (MYHIIA), which is expressed in some blood cells (polynuclear cells, monocytes and platelets), in the cochlea and in the kidneys. These molecular anomalies result in abnormal dimerization of the MYHIIA protein, which becomes unstable and coprecipitates with normal MYHIIA in the cytoplasm of leucocytes, thus forming cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. This abnormal dimerization also leads to a failure to properly organize the cytoskeleton in megakaryocytes, which triggers macrocytic thrombopenia. The majority of patients do not suffer from abnormal bleeding and in this case no specific treatment is required. However, platelet transfusion may be advised before surgical intervention. Life expectancy is normal.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Prepare for teaching in blended or virtual online classrooms or training in elearning settings.
The Moodle rubric, a system built for criteria-based assessment, explicitly describes the performance expectation for an assignment. The rubrics have several criteria and each criterion has several descriptive levels provided. A rubric identifies several attributes. They include descriptions, performance levels and the criteria.
Criteria take into account the performance aspects that an instructor intends to assess. The description attribute denotes the desired characteristics associated with a criterion. The performance level is a rating scale in rubric used to identify the level of mastery a student has within a given criteria. Each descriptive level has a numerical grade and an instructor can choose the level that answers a given criterion in the best way possible.
Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Moodle is a great LMS. One the strengths of the platform is the rich set of resources available to online teachers. The Moodle Rubric system is a valuable assessment tool that will help your students understand the target... and hit it.

Dirk Mast's curator insight, August 15, 4:28 AM
I love the comment on the hydrant slide reading " getting information from the internet is like drinking from a fire hydrant".
Searches always bring TOO much information so you feel overwhelmed. Also, we now ALWAYS struggle in determining what is good information, and what is trash. We do indeed feel like we're drowning at times, or just being "hosed" by sites that just waste your time aggregating traffic. I wish there was a browser that would eliminate the needless flow of advertising and extraneous mind numbing trash!

Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Subject matter expertise + advanced degree + online teaching experience = new opportunities.
An E-portfolio developed for the University of Wisconsin - Stout Graduate Certificate in E-Learning and Online Teaching where I started in 2013. I decided that I wanted to know more about online education. With the rapid changes in technology and internet access, it appeared to me that online courses would flourish. I found the E- Learning and Online Teaching graduate certificate program from University of Wisconsin – Stout.
Within this electronic portfolio you will find demonstrations of my learning. Each course required the submission of artifacts to the portfolio. I have selected artifacts from the courses listed above to present in this final portfolio as evidence of my learning and my ability to excel as an online educator. The links lead to course work I have done that demonstrates my learning of course design, student assessment, online facilitation, and finally my reflections on my own learning. One additional link provides examples of learning projects I completed during the courses.
I hope you enjoy my journey as I expanded my horizons. ~Vicki

Faculty use asynchronous discussions to extend and enhance instructional practices in the online classroom. It is widely reported that online discussions play an integral role in facilitating students' learning, as well as fostering dialogue, critical thinking, and reflective inquiry (Kayler & Weller, 2007; Morris, Finnegan, & Sz-Shyan, 2005). Despite faculty's knowledge that discussion forums can serve as a useful learning tool, online discussions are not easy to establish and manage.

Humans thrive on visual stimuli, and interaction. We don't want to hear about the latest tablet, or even read an article about it. We want to see it for ourselves.
More than that, we want to experience it for ourselves. We want to press all the buttons, test out the apps, and personalize every feature. Which experience teaches you more about the tablet—your conversation with someone who told you about it? Or the time you tried it for yourself? The latter, undoubtedly. Our strongest memories are created in the moments where we are actively participating. Humans are active learners by nature.

Although this article is aimed at the traditional classroom it also applies to blended/flipped and fully online learning environments.

Dunningan Hills Cat 4 crash?
Mon, 08/20/2007 - 12:01pm | by Styk33
My good friend crashed during the last 1km of the cat 4 race this weekend. He is recovering okay from the crash, but does not recall anything that happened. If anyone saw the crash or knows what happened, he would like to know. He is not looking to blame anyone, he is just curious.
He was wearing a green CSUS jersey and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
You can PM me, or post here if you know, or even heard what happened.

The Best Sunless Tanners for Winter
Beat Pale Skin With These Self Tanners!
Start Slideshow
Jergens Natural Glow Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer ($9)Jergens' moisturizer is oil-free, has SPF 20, and goes on like lotion. It starts out subtle, but if you use it every day your skin will get quite dark. To start, try diluting it with your regular moisturizer.
St. Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan Mousse ($30)The best part about St. Tropez's tanning products is Aromaguard, their secret technology that keeps that awful sunless tanner smell at bay. On the flip side, the mousse dries very quickly, meaning there's not a lot of time to blend--so work fast!
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Glow Pads ($18)Dr. Gross' regular Alpha Beta pads are a cult classic, but these do all the good stuff--exfoliating, moisturizing--and give you a color boost, too.
Tan Towel Classic Formula Towelettes ($24)This Australian brand makes different sized towelettes, including a full-body one, that exfoliate, tan, and moisturize all in one.
Sisley Paris Self Tanning Hydrating Facial Skin Care ($141)Sisley's formula is designed for the face, but we'd encourage using it all over your body for the slightest tint. It's incredibly light, without much smell, and absorbs within seconds.
Infinity Sun Glow on the Go ($40)Infinity's sunless tanner comes in a spray can (propelled by air, so it's not harmful to the environment) and is enriched with essential oils, antioxidants, and botanicals.
Kate Somerville Somerville 360 Face Self-Tanning Pad ($45)For anyone concerned about using sunless tanner on their face because of breakout potential, grab one of Somerville's pads. She's included tea tree extracts to clear skin and cucumber to keep it calm. And they're individually packaged, which makes for easy traveling.

Coppertone released its first sunless tanner, QT, in 1960, soon after scientists discovered the cancerous consequences of sitting in the sun all day. Unfortunately, it left would-be beach babies orange and streaky. But self-tanning formulas have come a long way. DHA, a chemical derived from sugar cane that reacts with your skin's amino acids, is still at their core, but now it's mixed with moisturizers, oils, and other extracts for easier, cleaner application.

AKWESASNE — Catholic North American Indians wait no more for Kateri Tekakwitha to be named a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
Pope Benedict XVI was to conduct the canonization ceremony at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City at 4 a.m. Eastern time today before thousands of worshipers, including a delegation of 500 from the St. Regis Mohawk Indian Reservation at Akwesasne and the Kahnawà:ke Reservation near Montreal.
Tekakwitha, an Indian maiden of Mohawk and Algonquin descent, died in 1680 at age 24.
She was among seven people elevated to sainthood by the pope today.
Known as "the Lily of the Mohawks," Tekakwitha was born in 1656 to a Mohawk chief and an Algonquin woman.
She was orphaned by age 4 when her parents and baby brother died in a smallpox epidemic, which left her scarred and with poor eyesight.
Tekakwitha was baptized in 1676 and received communion for the first time on Christmas Day 1677. She took a vow of perpetual virginity two years later and died April 17, 1680.
Her last words were: "Jesus, I love you."
Two miracles are attributed to her and led to the declaration of sainthood.
The first was at her deathbed where witnesses saw her facial smallpox scars disappear and sick persons healed.
The second miracle was documented in 2006 when Jake Finkbonner of Washington state was cured of flesh-eating disease within six weeks of his family placing a Tekakwitha relic and a prayer card on his pillow when doctors gave him no hope for recovery.
The boy, now 11, was expected to be in Rome today for the ceremony.
Pope Pius XII declared Kateri venerable in 1943, and she was beatified by Pope John Paul II almost 35 years ago.
Alma Ransom was among the 55 North Country faithful who witnessed the beatification in 1980.
The delegation was told during a private audience later that day with Pope John Paul that "we'll see the canonization within a short while.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Twins will open the 2014 season on the road. But they shouldn't expect much better weather than if they opened the season at Target Field.
The Twins will start next season on March 31 at the Chicago White Sox, which could make for a chilly opener. Major League Baseball released the 2014 schedule on Tuesday.
After the opening series in Chicago, the Twins will head to Cleveland for a three-game series before coming home for the first time.
The Twins home opener will be on April 7 against the Oakland Athletics. That will start a run of three straight series at home, including games against the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Yankees will visit Target Field over the Fourth of July holiday, July 3-6.

Here's a mending must-have: A simple business-card organizer (from an office-supply store) that keeps all the fixings for your clothes in one place. Label and tuck your spare buttons, thread samples, cloth tags, and even those scratchy fabric-care labels you snip off garments (or pillows and blankets) into the compartments. It will be a snap to find them later.

Excellent idea! Can also use it to store loose buttons found in the wash, until one has a moment to sew them back on to their garment ...
aminla9 Oct, 2010
Another use for these business card organizers is to place several sheets in a 3 ring binder to keep not only business cards, but frequent flier cards, rewards cards, loyalty cards, etc. instead of in my wallet. All of my cards are in one place, and it's very easy to find the particular card when I need it.
Syzwikkai9 Oct, 2010
You could also use baseball card holders. This is what I use for my coupon organizing.
metis9 Oct, 2010
This would be a great thing to send along with your kids when they go off to college. I had a little "basic sewing instruction" session for my son and all his friends - it was hilarious but they told me years later that it had come in useful. A kit like this would have been a great send-along as well.
jonimacaroni9 Oct, 2010
Very good idea ..instead of hunting for the items when needed ...it's at your fingertips!
Chia114 May, 2010
This is an idea I wish I had thought of long ago. This may also be a good idea for garment tags that I want to keep, even temporarily, to remind me of washing instructions, etc.
Cookingforsix13 May, 2010
Neat idea....I think I will use an old Pokemon album....now that my daughter has out grown the cards...recycling for a great idea. Merci!
debbiegjerde17 Sep, 2009
What a "god" send. Set up in my master closet. One of THE best organizing ideas ever. Thank you.
anneanderson6 Sep, 2009
What a great idea. For me, I am going to add a picture of my garment or I will stilll have a hard time finding what goes with each item. Thank for the tip!
bensmom636 Sep, 2009
Great idea! I can also see using this organizer for cross stitch thread and coupons too.
phylte14 Mar, 2009
I thought I was organized putting these items in one place, but alas, it was still a mess finding what I needed, but this was simply BRILLIANT!! Couldn't have been simpler and stays right in my closet, rather than in the sewing basket.
hayleythomson29 Feb, 2008
I did it, it works brilliantly and once you've bought the ring binder and card holders it takes 5 mins to assemble. Now I just have to remember to add spare buttons to it whenever I buy new clothes...
afidelino2024 Feb, 2008
Make sense. Love it!
Serendipitywiz22 Feb, 2008
I like it, I have tons, but when I need it I can't find it.
adoregorgeousstuff22 Feb, 2008
Easy to make and to use.It is very useful!!
Rosemee21 Feb, 2008
I'm decluttering. Was wondering how I could keep the minimums on hand without the eight bins of sewing supplies. Great tip, thanks! www.xanga.com/rosemee1

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Diego Maradona says he now has a second national team to cheer on: The United Arab Emirates.
The former Argentina great, who coached Dubai-based club Al Wasl for one season, says he will be rooting for the UAE against Iraq on Friday in the final of the Gulf Cup.
Maradona even described himself as an honorary "Emirati" who feels an "emotional link" with the country. He told the daily newspaper Emarat Al Youm, in comments published Wednesday, that he'd be the "happiest person" to watch the UAE lift the Gulf Cup trophy in Bahrain.
Maradona is currently a goodwill ambassador for the Dubai Sports Council.

Last week we shared a number of activities in which students at CCS can participate. We thought it was an impressive, if not overwhelming, list. And we are indeed pleased that the young people of our area have these opportunities. However, we think it is also important to keep in mind that these undertakings do have a cost associated with them. They are not free. In fact there are, no doubt, those who would say they do not come cheap.
In response to that comment, we decided we might once again take a look at how the cost of education, as well as the number of students, at CCS has changed over the past 10 years In 2001-02, the school had 1,272 students, the budget was $12,462,355 and the tax levy was $6,923,311.
In 2012-13, the school anticipates having 884 students, the proposed budget is $16,772,080 and the proposed tax levy is $10,702,711.
In 2001-02, property taxes comprised 55.6 percent of the school's revenue, state aid was 39.9 percent and 4.5 percent was listed as other.
In 2012-13, proposed property taxes would comprise 64 percent of the school's revenue, state aid would be 29 percent, while 7 percent would be other.
Thus, in this time frame, the number of students has declined 30.5 percent, the budget has gone up 34.1 percent and the tax levy has gone up 54.7 percent. Yet, according to the online inflation calculator, from 2001 to 2012, inflation has gone up only 28.5 percent.
In addition, it should be noted that for the 2001-02 budget, the school was able to transfer $250,000, or 2.5 percent of the budget,from the undesignated fund balance. For the 2012-13 budget, the school is proposing transferring $786,975, or 4.7 percent of the budget, from the undesignated fund balance.
It would seem that these changes in both the budget and the student population, as well as the school's proposed 2012-13 budget, present an opportunity for musing about why the school's finances are what they are.
For example, while discussing these numbers with a good friend, the conversation lead quickly to a number of questions. As a taxpayer, what is most troubling about these figures? Are the tax dollars being spent wisely? How long can this financial situation at the school continue? Will the situation improve or simplycontinue to deteriorate?
Can we afford more of the same? Should the school be spending upwards of $20,000 per student each year? Is it realistic to think, as do some residents of the district, that the school should spend whatever?
And while we think these are all good questions, they were but the beginning of our pondering on the issue of the cost of educations at CCS. We do know that one of the big problems with state aid for CCS is the fact that the district is considered to be a wealthy district. The total property value of the district is just over $1 billion, not an insubstantialsum. We have also learned that the income wealth of the district, which is taken from 2008, the most recent year for which there is data, is pegged at $183,000,109. We note this is a reduction from the 2007 total income of the district of $215,000,000, a fact which does make us wonder what the actual total income of the district is currently.
And while it would seem that, given the numbers, CCS is indeed a wealthy district.
However, that designation is somewhat problematic as there are a number of residents of the district who have owned their property for years who would not be able to purchase their property today. And the income wealth is certainly not distributed equally among district residents.
Therefore, there are a number of residents who are property rich but income poor. And they are indeed struggling to pay their school taxes, even though they may be eligible for the enhanced STAR program.
Beyond that, we have to wonder how the combination of high property values and high school taxes affect the ability for some young families with children to live in the district? Also, does the seemingly small number of year around rental properties figure into the decline in the student population?
We also are puzzled, given the fact that the proposed student population will decline from 937 this year to 884 next year, the overall school budget for the upcoming year is being reduced by less than $200,000. Somehow we thought, given not only the reduction in student population, but also the cut of 4.5 FTE faculty members, there might be a greater savings realized than there appears to be.
And finally, we wonder how it is possible to have had $714,976 to transfer from the reserve fund into the 2011-12 budget and to now have an additional $786,975 to transfer from that fund to the 2012-13 budget. We can but conclude that the process of estimating the school's income and spending simply must be way off the mark. Can we hope that going forward, the budget might be more realistic?
We must admit that we have no answers to these questions. In fact, we don't know if anyone does. But we do feel that the educational system that we have long known at CCS is changing. In light of the economic realities, it seems there is a definite trend toward sharing services with other districts. In the past we have seen sharing of participation in sports and it now seems the district is sharing a cafeteria manager with Milford. Also the district has purchased supplies through our BOCES. And now, as we learned at a recent school board meeting, the school's bread bid is going through the Binghamton BOCES.
And we suspect, given the economics, the concept of shared services will continue.
What we do not know is whether, by enacting the 2 percent property tax cap, the state is pushing smaller, rural schools into consolidation with neighboring districts. No doubt time will tell.
It seems we are indeed in uncertain times in terms of school funding. The state aid keeps dropping and property taxes keep rising. It is a turn of events which we do not like to see and which leaves all of us little choice but to stay as informed as possible on the issues as they develop. And there is little doubt we will have to deal with whatever lies ahead, hoping that it does not force even more people, especially those with children, from the area.

Serena and Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, and Novak Djokovic all have something in common, and it isn't just tennis – they all love their dogs! The first-round matches at this year's U.S. Open are underway, and these pro athletes have the support of their beloved pups, some of whom are getting to be just as famous as their owners.
The youngest Williams sister has two dogs, a Jack Russell terrier named Jackie and a Maltese named Lorelei. Serena has had Jackie since she was in high school and named her after Mariah Carey's Jack Russell Jack.
"I take my Jack Russell everywhere," Williams told PEOPLE. "I am so busy with tennis and my business interests, but I wanted to be at the game to support the team, and Jackie likes to be part of everything I do."

File under good sports: Maria Sharapova took the big prize at Wimbledon, but the 17-year-old Russian tennis phenom isn't letting fame go to her head. She showed up as scheduled for a kids' tennis clinic in New Haven, Conn., this week, and spent two hours in the blazing heat helping 100 kids learn the basics of tennis. "When I make a commitment I stick to it," Sharapova tells us. "Most of these kids never played before so it was great for them to pick up a racquet at such a young age. I love giving back to kids." Sharapova's newfound celebrity hasn't been entirely smooth sailing, however. "It's been crazy, I've had photographers all around me and people driving behind me and following me, which is very unusual, but that's the way it's going to be. I want to be a tennis player, but to achieve what I want to achieve, these things will happen, and if you don't like it, just don't win. It's simple."

I'm confused.
The owner's manual shows a .014 valve clearence for all valves - both intake and exhaust.
Another manual I have shows that after serial number 100501 the clearence changes on the exhaust valves to .020. I assume this is the engine serial number and not the tractor serial number as the manual is engine related and not tractor specific. I have looked all over and can't find anything that looks like an engine serial number.
Do I just go with the .014?


text: Biggest Apple News 2012 2012 in Review: Apple's Biggest Headlines, Launches, and Mess-Ups by Nicole Nguyen 12/18/12 0 Reactions 16 Shares Print 2 2 12 0 0 In the words of Katy Perry, Apple's year was hot and cold, yes and no, in and out, up and down. Although Apple was named the most valuable company in history in terms of market capitalization, the California-based organization had its share of press blunders, too, from a series of articles criticizing its offshore manufacturing to a mobile navigation app that failed to, well, navigate. In the iDevice arena, the highly anticipated iPhone 5 and iPad Mini unveilings were the year's blockbuster events, but upgrades to the MacBook Pro and desktop iMac were certainly notable as well. Relive the year in the world of Mac with this look back at Apple's biggest news items in 2012. Source: Getty iPad 3 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In March, Apple introduced its third-generation iPad with LTE capability, an upgraded processor, a thicker and heavier body, and a 5MP iSight camera. It was only a slight upgrade from the iPad 2, which is why the announcement was a head-scratching one. The model was short-lived and discontinued just months later in favor of the newer, shinier, more advanced iPad, which can be seen in slides to come. Source: Getty 1 / 11 Apple v. Samsung What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The war between the two tech giants began in 2011, but the battle didn't go to court until 2012. Apple v. Samsung's three-week-long patent infringement trial in a Northern California court ended in a victory for Apple, with the jury siding with most of the company's claims. The legal suit has the biggest implications for Apple products, as Samsung still manufactures the LCD display in most iOS devices (which must be so awkward). The contract ends next year, which means that Apple must then secure supplies from other manufacturers. Source: Getty 2 / 11 New Retina Display MacBook Pro What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At Apple's developer conference, WWDC, in June, the company unveiled the latest addition to its MacBook lineup, a new MacBook Pro with Retina, which had a display with more definition than an HDTV. The latest laptop also was the first Apple notebook to ever include an HDMI cable, and it is just .71 inches thin, which is nearly as slim as the MacBook Air. The computer bid adieu to the standard optical drive, with a new flash drive for optimal speed. Source: Getty 3 / 11 Apple's Manufacturer Foxconn in the Press What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In January, The New York Times published a story criticizing Apple's manufacturing partners in China, citing labor malpractice and high human costs. Apple invited the Fair Labor Association, a third-party watch group, to conduct further investigations of its chain-supply partners, and Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the plants in March. The press surrounding Apple's plants in China was so heavy that the company was mentioned by name during one of the presidential debates. In a major recent development, Cook commented publicly that Apple was bringing some of its manufacturing back to the United States. Source: Getty 4 / 11 The Arrival of the iPhone 5 (Finally) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 All the speculation and rumors about the iPhone 5 were pretty much spot on when the company unveiled its newest smartphone in September. The slimmer, longer iPhone 5 was LTE-capable, lighter, and more powerful than previous iterations. Apple announced its brand-new Lightening dock connector, which rendered old charging cables useless. Source: Getty 6 / 11 The Apple Maps Saga What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With the announcement of the iPhone 5 came the launch of Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 6, which had plenty of features but was missing one key app — Google Maps. Apple got rid of Google's mapping app in favor of its own, which turned out to be something of a disaster. Pictured, Apple maps showed two sets of the disputed Senkaku Islands, which is shown under the name Diaoyu, the name claimed by Beijing (face, meet palm). Even though we did find a set of solid alternatives, Google Maps eventually came out with a native app for iPhone that we were really excited about. Source: Getty 6 / 11 iPod Touch and iPod Nano Get an Update What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The iPod touch and nano got a colorful and high-definition makeover. Many of the iPhone 5's features, like the Lightning connector and the display size, came to Apple's famed music devices. The fifth-generation iPod touch now has an HD flash camera with 1080p recording and panorama functionality, plus a hook for a color-matched wrist strap. The new nano has built-in Bluetooth and took the title as the thinnest iPod ever, at just .21 inches. Source: Getty 7 / 11 Apple EarPods What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Apple's newest headphones, named "EarPods," actually fit in the ear! Unlike the older circular earbuds, the EarPods are defined by the geometry of the ear. The most noticeable feature, however, is the improved audio quality, which packs a punch with its richer bass tones. The new iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPod nano all come with the updated buds, but the latest iPad models, unfortunately, do not. Source: Getty 8 / 11 Reveal of the iPad Mini and iPad 4 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Apple held yet another launch event in October for the announcement of the highly anticipated iPad Mini, which directly competes with the hotly contested handheld multimedia tablet market. The fourth-generation iPad made a sneak appearance at the event, with an upgraded A6X processor, FaceTime HD camera (was previously VGA), lightning port, and iOS 6. As a result, the third-generation iPad, announced just months before, was discontinued. Source: Getty 9 / 11 The Slimmest, Sexiest iMac Ever What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The eighth-generation desktop iMac got a new superslim casing and a fancy Fusion Drive, combining a 128GB flash drive and 1TB or 3TB hard drive in one system. The edge of the LCD display is only 5(!) millimeters thick, which is one of the reasons why we picked it for our December Must Haves.
