Steele to House GOP: Stimulus Bill 'Goose Egg Was Just Beautiful'
Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 3:37 pm
The Republican National Committee invited reporters to listen via conference call to new Chairman Michael Steele's pep talk to House Republicans at their weekend retreat. If there was a revelation, it's that Steele seems more comfortable high-fiving like-minded conservatives than telling Maryland voters that he's not a real Republican, and it's OK for them to vote for him. Early in the call, he promised Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House minority whip, that he'd give him the "word from the street" on the House Republicans' vote against the stimulus package.
Let me start by saying, the goose egg that you laid on the president's desk was just beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Now, folks, I know we're in the era of bipartisanship, but it's easy to be bipartisan when you outnumber the minority two to one. Anyone can be bipartisan then. But I thought it was very, very important that you sent a signal, and you sent it loudly and very clearly, that this party, that the leadership of this caucus, will stand first and foremost with the American people. You made it very clear that in order to grow through this recession, that you would not redistribute the wealth of the people of this nation. That you would empower them to earn it, invest it, save it, and spend it on their terms.
Steele couldn't praise them enough, and at times, he was at a loss for words. "You and I know that in the history of mankind and womankind, government—federal, state or local—has never created one job," he said. "It's destroyed a lot of them."
He added that the GOP's next four targets would be the open House seat in the 20th District of New York, the governor's offices in New Jersey and Virginia, and the state legislatures that will run redistricting after the next census.
Also, for reasons I'm less clear about, Iran-Contra alum Oliver North was in the room with the House Republicans, and Steele singled him out for praise.

FYI, might want to listen to my exclusive interview with Michael Steele and comment. Thanks. JL.
And forget, please, "conservatism," please. It will not "save" us because it has been, operationally, de facto, Godless and therefore irrelevant. Secular conservatism will not defeat secular liberalism because to God both are two atheistic peas-in-a-pod and thus predestined to failure. As Stonewall Jackson's Chief of Staff R.L. Dabney said of such a humanistic belief more than 100 years ago:
"[Secular conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today .one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth."
Our country is collapsing because we have turned our back on God (Psalm 9:17) and refused to kiss His Son (Psalm 2).

Michael Steele is brilliant and the GOP seems to be getting things right in choosing him for a leadership role. The Obama stimulus boondoggle is going to create unprecedented hyper-inflation about two years from now. Republicans should oppose this forcefully. Not only is it the right thing to do, GOP opposition will benefit enormously.

Well, well, looks like the shining new GOP chairman didn't waste time firing up the base and setting up the tone for his party! It's funny how he says government has never created a job when he just came from one. I hope he keeps this up so people will really know what the Repubs are; tools of big business.

Interesting blog. Relevantly, Michael Steele, born 1958, is a member of Generation Jones—the generation between the Boomers and Gen X'ers. The Boomers have passed the leadership torch to the Jonesers. Which matters quite a bit in understanding the nature of the new chapter in politics we've just begun.
In this short video, Steele embraces his own Generation Jones identity, and discusses his fellow GenJones leaders: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbbVe_Twui0
Obama, and many of his Administration's top players, are Jonesers. The GOP is also now led by Jonesers, including Steele, Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty and Mark Sanford.
I'm a Joneser and totally relate to it, and am enjoying all the recent media buzz about Generation Jones. We're not Boomers or X'ers!
There is a brilliant op-ed about exactly this topic in USA TODAY this week: http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20090… .
I'm very curious to see what Steele's early weeks at this new job will look like.

Mr. Steele is jealous of President Obama's ascension to the presidency. Now Mr. Steele has a new tool in his arsenal to war on Barack Obama – you Repubs. Stop whining, complaining and fighting. Stop being so self-centered. The country needs help. Pl-e-a-s-e help us!!! All we, the people, see right now is that you-all have decided to stand in your corner shooting arrows at those who are really trying to help us. Please put your partisan politics down and help us.

Promoting the Economy and General Quality of Life in America
Barry Johnston
Individual initiative
America will again grow and flourish when our government and economic system promote principles that stimulate individual initiative, both in our personal lives and in the work place. When we, the people, reacquaint ourselves with values that encourage individual potential, our economy will again flourish. When we, the people, dedicate ourselves to redefining our understanding of quality of life and commit ourselves to acting on our inner convictions to implement this new vision of a quality of life, we will effectively address those societal and economic conditions that now plague us. When philanthropists become personally involved in defining our quality of life, when we change our frame of values to address individual potential, new industries will emerge that will strengthen our economy and create a vibrant culture built on a new understanding of quality of life. Do we dare envision it?
As an artist, most of my life I've been self-employed, working out of my inner cognition and initiative. Believe me, it's hard. But knowing value in art, and more crucially knowing value in life, has required me to address more profound issues that define the collective concerns of the human heart. One far reaching collective concern today is defining political policies that nurture individual potential. The survival of humanity depends on the fervent care we give to individuals, our society and our natural world. Any visionary alternatives that will bring about solid, constructive change will recognize the value of individual potential and will encourage individual initiative.
Our Constitution
We need only observe a century of communism to know that governments have limited ability to stimulate economic growth. The U.S. Constitution was designed to promote economic freedom as well as guarantee personal freedom. Antitrust laws, defined and protected by our constitution, are designed to break up monopolies and consortiums that stymy economic growth. But over the past several decades, multinational corporations have squeezed the life out of our free-enterprise system. A dazzling abundance of excess created by national and multinational corporations have distracted us from facing those realities that can help us cope with the issues of our basic survival. Over recent decades, we have abandoned many fundamental ethical principles that secure solid business practices in the market. The quality of our lives has declined as we have lost our identity in the work place. Of course, our deepest fear now is: how will we, as individuals, survive if the awesome massiveness of our American economy does collapse? Any economic policy to the magnitude of the New Deal of the 1930's must not only address the above concerns but take profound measures to encourage Americans to change their values and to, in fact, redefine themselves as visionaries with a new understanding of the meaning of quality of life. In short, any effective economic policy must revive the free-enterprise system.
Faced with the present major economic crisis, the federal government out of necessity is obliged to provide assistance to States to finance the rebuilding of our national infrastructure. The Administration's transparency, by openingly monitoring the handling and management of this federal distribution on the internet will not only be informative but will be a useful tool in gaging the progress of the spending programs. However, individual ingenuity and initiative will be the fuel for that process. If we are to realize sound economic growth, the principles of free-enterprise must prevail on a grass-roots level. One grass-roots basis for choosing those individuals in the business community who are best qualified to improve our quality of life is to choose those who are willingly taking an active, responsible role in the quality of life process. The mechanism for this is already in place. In receiving the above-mentioned federal funding for rebuilding our national infrastructure, let priority consideration be given to those who are willing to commit themselves to the following:
Religious institutions and foundations
The U.S. Constitution provides Americans with a concept of separation of church and state for two reasons: The first and most popular reason is that it prevents churches from dictating their theocratic values on the people. The second reason, however, has been largely forgotten, and that is that governments also must not dictate their values on the people. Although our political system guarantees us "separation between church and state," in reality, the federal government has usurped the authority and financial autonomy of our religious institutions by assuming financial control over the management of programs that are designed to confront our societal problems. Recognizing that, throughout history, churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious institutions have traditionally addressed societal issues, why do we allow the government to usurp the authority of those committed to addressing our societal problems? Improving the quality of our lives requires that we promote values that recognize individual potential and promote individual initiative. Presently, churches, synagogues, and mosques are financially hampered in their ability to address issues related to crime, drug addiction, or the plight of the homeless. Although only committed individuals can responsibly resolve the personal issues of those who have fallen into despair and self-destruction, the financial authority of philanthropic institutions has been rendered essentially impotent.
Because massive bureaucracies are unable to address the personal emotional needs of 'the down and out' – beyond those basics such as healthcare, food, and perhaps housing – public and private foundations should be encouraged to take on this essential role. Putting aside the fact that the Constitution states that our government "promote the general welfare" rather than provide for it, personal initiative is an essential ingredient that will encourage improving the quality of our lives. In a declining society, drug abuse in our inner cities and the bane, ignominious plight of the homeless are destroying the fiber of our society. We, as Americans, have allowed the forces of an anti-culture, defined by the massive priorities of our massive bureaucracies, to usurp our ability to improve the quality of our lives. As President Eisenhower warned America, we have succumbed to the "danger of a military-industrial complex." Likewise, a reliance on government law enforcement to solve the problems of the homeless and hunger, of even addiction, is, of course, not working. This approach has not only been ineffective; it is completely outside of the realm of constitutional law.
Getting out of this bureaucratic mess
Government can stimulate scientific research that will eventually stimulate the economy. It can provide layoff relief. It can provide jobs that shore up the national infrastructure by building bridges, roads, and even the national grid. It can feed, house, cloth, and provide healthcare for the needy. But it can only promote, not provide for, the inner quality of our lives.
Massive bureaucracies and government agencies cannot provide an effective means to revitalize and rebuild the cultural fiber of our society.
Let the wealthy be encouraged to donate and participate personally in outreach programs that improve the quality of our lives. When wealthy philanthropists participate in viable outreach programs, their higher management skills, applied on a personal level, will get the job done. Former President Jimmy Carter is a good example of one who gets things accomplished. Rather than relying on congressionally funded social programs that experience enormous administrative overhead imposed by big government, let the government downsize its role in societal rehabilitation by offering philanthropists tax writeoffs, not just taxable income writeoffs, for their contributions. Let philanthropists play a personal role in the management of outreach programs that address the quality of life in America. Such direct involvement by the wealthy, whom presumedly represent the most intelligent as well as responsible people of our society, will improve the quality of life for both sides of the fence.
Rebuilding character
Promoting programs that involve the wealthy will effectively rebuild character and esteem not only of those who are 'down and out' in our society, but those who are 'high on the hog' but thus far have had no real purpose or vision in their lives other than accumulating wealth. Congress could reward with tax incentives to mentor volunteers and successful retirees who contribute their talents to the common good. Lawyers could offset their tax obligation by donating their time and money to protecting the vulnerable or the free-enterprise system itself. However, no individual should be above the law in the management of these outreach programs, whether churches, foundations or individuals. A new society of the "noblesse oblige" can effectively and responsibly contribute solutions to our cultural and the economic concerns.
Let new tax laws reverse this downward trend
Under constitutional law, the federal government can both encourage and protect small businesses as they face the legal clout of large national and multinational corporations. If the well-educated and successful are encouraged to contribute solutions to our ills, they will also be intelligent watchdogs to alert our government to national and multinational corporate abuses or areas of ineffectiveness in our governmental agencies.
A new tax law
In reality, the private sector is less likely to take the appropriate initiative and commit their personal wealth to helping reconstruct the fiber of our society without fair tax incentives that encourage their personal involvement. Present laws require that, when private individuals make a private donation to a church or to a public function, that contribution can only be subtracted from the donor's taxable income and not from the tax owed. In other words, although the IRS has the authority to confirm whether or not a donor's gift has or has not complied with the rules of a 501C3 foundation which must commit 80% to its outreach program (i.e., only 20% can be used for administrative overhead under lobbying rule), the administrative overhead of the federal government, under the Facilities and Administrative (F&A) charging rule, commonly referred to as indirect costs of the government, is presently held at 26%. Presently, although a gift from a wealthy patron can be confirmed to definitely serve the public interest, such donations are treated as income write-offs, rather than tax write-offs, giving the patron only a fraction of the buying power of their donation to effectively make a difference in building the cultural fiber of our society. For example, the highest tax liability being charged against a donor's income is 33%, meaning that those donors in this highest tax bracket, if contributing to the construction of a hospital, a public work of art for a public plaza, or any worthwhile public cause, can only be credited 33% of the actual value of their public gift. In other words, although that gift will serve the public interest, the donor can only claim a maximum of one-third of the actual value of that donation. This means that individual donors have a maximum of one-third buying power in their efforts to address social issues and concerns, compared to the two-thirds buying power of our massive government bureaucracies.
Furthermore, the average taxpayer is in a much lower tax bracket and, therefore, has much less buying power when making contributions to public charities. For this reason, private initiatives which serve public needs – including outreach programs that are managed by our churches, synagogues, and mosques – presently have only a limited ability to make an impact on building a solid alternative culture. So, effective privately run programs are greatly hampered by insufficient funding and, therefore, are only nominally able to effect the needed changes that will rebuild our communities. The tax drain discourages philanthropy. Impersonal bureaucracies of government leave many of our most critical societal concerns unaddressed. Since the Great Depression, the federal government, influenced by a modern brand of secularism, has gradually usurped the functions of churches and private patrons. Acknowledging that Congress has the right to establish national goals and priorities, the 501C3 foundations and churches in America, by constitutional law, should be given the authority to fulfil this congressional mandate.
Agreed, federal programs should sustain and continue to expand its support of scientific research that serves the national interest, such as alternate energy research and programs such as the Peace Corp and even art exchange programs that represent America's interest internationally in an ambassadorial capacity. Agreed, the federal government should help bridge the transition by creating infrastructure related jobs and oblige the banking network to direct its attention to alleviating the mortgage crisis. But to effectively "promote the general welfare," Congress and the President must revise the tax codes as follows, keeping in mind that those who choose to comply with the following guideline should be given priority consideration in receiving federal funding on a State level. Corporations who have executives that comply with the below procedures and who agree to Procedure 3 below should be given priority consideration in this federal funding program. Regarding Procedure 3, no multinational corporation should be allowed to participate in this State funding program. Procedures 1 and 2 apply to individual-owned businesses:
Procedure 1 is for the philanthropists – allow the wealthy and socially responsible, those who presumedly represent a well-educated, conscientious and successful sector of our society, to become personally involved and to assume personal responsibility for improving the quality of our society. The "noblesse oblige" represent those in our society who are willing and able to assume personal responsibility for the well-being of our society and free-enterprise system. Those Americans who practice the principles of the "noblesse oblige" (which translates from French into "nobility obligates"), those philanthropists who are willing to serve the public interest, should be given tax write-offs amounting to the near value of their gifts, when given to public foundations or the outreach program of a religious institution, wherever those programs replace those functions being funded through government legislation and taxation. Let the Federal Government, through congressional mandate, limit which foundations qualify and what amounts are acceptable. Let the tax structure provide an adequate levy on the donation to cover the administrative cost of implementing and policing this plan. Let this plan apply to philanthropic individuals only and not to corporations. Let individuals take social responsibility and effect positive social change, recognizing that only individuals can provide the impetus that will stimulate our free-enterprise economy. The wealthy, who generally represent the most capable leaders in our society, are best capable of implementing positive alternatives and effecting positive changes that will rebuild our economy and quality of life.
Procedure 2 for the innovators and artists – encourage creative initiatives in our society. Heirs of an artist's or innovators estate are presently overwhelmed by the burden of managing that estate when an artist dies. Federal law should allow the inheritance tax obligation to be paid in kind upon the death of innovators and artists in our society. If the art is considered by the IRS to have a certain value, that value should be deemed the correct measure for tax purposes. This would encourage cultural growth and promote the quality of life in our society. By recognizing the actual art or innovation as an acceptable payment for the tax obligation, the innovator and the artist are encouraged. By allowing a portion of the artist's and innovator's estate to be given to public foundations in lieu of or by way of fulfilling an estate tax obligation, both the innovator, the artist, their families and our society at large benefit. Hence, our general quality of life is promoted. In other words, a gift to a public foundation, accepted as payment in lieu of the tax obligation, not only takes the burden off the heirs of the artist and, therefore, off the artist and innovator, but it encourages individual philanthropy and, even more so, it encourages innovation in both the arts and sciences, thus improving the quality of art and the quality of life in America.
Procedure 3 for corporations – oblige corporations, both national and multinational, to improve the general welfare of their workers and to support the communities that serve them. For example, a percent of the cost of any new construction of large corporations and government projects should go into supporting the quality of life of the community that serve them. This would encourage local artists. In this, a portion of the cost of construction for any public and corporate building should by law be committed to improving the visual quality of life of the working and surrounding environment. Nationally, corporations should be held accountable to improve the quality of life in their respective communities serving them. Internationally, American corporations should be held accountable to improve the quality of life in the local community of that country that serves them. In return, corporations operating out of the States that comply with this mandate will receive a full federal tax write-off, meaning that, if they comply, they pay no federal tax at all. Corporations from other countries operating in the States would be subject to the same tax rule. By investing in the quality of life in other countries, this law applied to corporations will foster an active ambassadorial program that will improve America's relationship with other countries.

In response to the Senator from Maine's comments saying that the American people want Democrates and Republicans to get along, my husband and I do not want Congress spending our money on projects that do not stimulate the economy and create jobs in private sector., If this means you do not get along, then so be it until the American people are heard.
Most American families take longer to decide on what kind of car to buy, then Congress has taken to spend more than $800,000 Billion which does not even include the interest this will accrue.
Our courtry has gotten into this economic mess because of debt. Now Congress wants to put us even deeper in debt.
Republicans should stand their ground and vote NO for the stimulus package or spending package or whatever title they give it today!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- College football lost one unbeaten team Saturday.
It could have lost another. At least three more, now that you mention it.
Cincinnati was voted off the Undefeated Island by Toledo, a solid team that has won seven straight after falling in overtime at Arizona to start the season. It's a bad loss, but not an embarrassing one.
The Bearcats fell, 29-23. But three other unbeatens won by a touchdown or less:
*Louisville, which trailed South Florida with less than two minutes to go in the fourth quarter before winning, 27-25.
*Ohio State, which tied Purdue on the last play in regulation and then won, 29-22, in overtime.
*Notre Dame, which scored with less than 13 minutes to play to defeat BYU, 17-14. ESPN has Notre Dame Fever. College GameDay was in South Bend for the ND-Stanford game a week ago -- and now they're going to Norman, Okla., for the ND-Oklahoma game Oct. 27.
Oregon State beat Utah by 14.
Here is the complete Unbeaten Rundown:
1. Alabama -- rolled Tennessee, 44-13, hosts unbeaten Mississippi State Saturday.
2. Florida -- punched South Carolina, 44-11, gets one-loss Georgia in Jacksonville Saturday.
3. Oregon -- rocked Arizona State, 43-21, gets hapless Colorado Saturday.
4. Kansas State -- dominated West Virginia, 55-14, hosts Texas Tech.
5. Notre Dame -- escaped BYU, 17-14, plays the Game of the Week at Oklahoma Saturday.
6. Oregon State -- beat Utah by two touchdowns, visits dangerous Washington Saturday.
7. Mississippi State -- thumped Middle Tennessee, visits Tuscaloosa Saturday night.
8. Rutgers -- controlled Temple in the second half, gets Kent State at home.
9. Louisville -- rallied to beat USF in the final two minutes, hosts Cincinnati Friday night on ESPN2.
10. Ohio State -- beat Purdue in OT, visits surging Penn State Saturday.
11. Ohio University -- had a week to prepare for a trip to Miami (Ohio).
We're guaranteed to lose one more unbeaten next week. I'm predicting we'll lose two others.

Continued Fractions with Sage
My previous post looked at continued fractions and rational approximations for e and gave a little Python code. I found out later there's a more direct way to do this in Python using Sage.
At its simplest, the function
continued_fraction takes a real number and returns a truncated continued fraction representation. For example,
[2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, 10, 1, 1, 12, 1, 1]
Optionally, you can also specify the number of bits of precision in the real argument and the number of terms desired.
By calling the
convergents method on the return value of
continued_fraction(e)you can find a sequence of rational approximations based on the continued fraction. For example,
print continued_fraction(e).convergents()
[2, 3, 8/3, 11/4, 19/7, 87/32, 106/39, 193/71, 1264/465, 1457/536, 2721/1001, 23225/8544, 25946/9545, 49171/18089, 517656/190435, 566827/208524, 1084483/398959, 13580623/4996032, 14665106/5394991, 28245729/10391023].
To get higher precision output, you need higher precision input. For example, you could pass in
rather than simply
e to tell Sage that you'd like to use the 200-bit representation of erather than the default precision.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota deer hunters will again be able to donate venison to state food shelves this year.
The Minnesota Hunter Harvested Venison Donation Program is aimed at providing a source of protein for people in need while helping reduce deer populations. The program is operated by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and state food shelves.
Last year, Minnesota hunters donated 421 deer to the program, which provided more than 15,000 pounds of processed venison to Minnesota food shelves. Funding for the program comes from a $1 surcharge on deer bonus permits.
To be eligible to donate venison to the program, hunters must have their deer processed at a state-registered meat-processing plant that has agreed to participate in the program.

The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC) dictates that if you are a manufacturer that sells in Europe, and your product includes any kind of packaging, you are required to recover that packaging. This can be done by creating a system to recover your own packaging from the purchaser of your products (rarely done), or by paying a license fee to join a non-profit program, such as a Green Dot scheme, that releases you from the obligation of recovering your own packaging waste placed in the European market. The Green Dot packaging program is the standard take-back program in more than two dozen European countries to date.
Managing European packaging waste regulation compliance with individual country Green Dot programs has proven to be quite time consuming for companies, especially those selling products throughout Europe. Each country program requires its own license. These programs require you to report the amount of packaging waste you have generated and levy different licensing fees depending on the reported volume. The Green Dot logo can only be placed on your packaging once you have a licensing agreement in place and have paid the license fee. A licensing agreement requires you to have a physical presence in the EU, or you may appoint an independent firm with a presence in the EU.

Ernie Els sees the handwriting on the wall, and while he'll use a putter of conventional length in his final Masters tune-up, the four-time major champ who was anti-belly putter before becoming an evangelist for the other side will jam a big bat into his gut at Augusta.
Meanwhile, taking time out from the PGA Tour-sanctioned Laughingstock Travesty Cup in Orlando, Adam Scott and Tim Clark renewed their campaigns for the USGA and R&A to shock the golf world by letting them continue clamping their long wands to various parts of their bodies.
"My belief is [golf's governing boards] are making a mistake with this decision," Scott told Golf Channel's Gary McCord as the trio sauntered down the Isleworth Golf & Country Club fairway on Tuesday. "I have to question the methodology they've used in getting to this proposed ban and maybe banning it is based on zero evidence whatsoever."
Scott, who has fixed his broomstick baton to his sternum since 2011, blasted the expected ban on the anchored putting stroke, which the game's regulators proposed in November, as nothing more than a flimsy notion.
"I don't think their opinion is any more relevant than mine or yours or anyone at home playing on the weekend because they're basing this on no evidence, on a whim," said the Australian winner of eight official PGA Tour victories.
His South African colleague, who played on Tiger Woods' winning Team Albany in the so-called World Golf and Country Club championship (seriously), complained that outlawing a practice he's employed for 15 years was completely arbitrary.
"It's been allowed since the game began, essentially, and it's come up for revision a few times and it's been passed," Clark said. "We just feel the timing of this right now is really unfair. A lot of us have built careers out here and would like to stay out here."
Both players clearly hoped that everyone else would come around to tour commissioner Tim Finchem's way of thinking -- he's anti-ban while most other tours will go along with the governors -- but each said he would take a wait-and-see approach.
Scott, however, sounded resigned to his fate, much as Els appeared to be.
"The other tours made their stance very clear and that's all we can go on for the moment," said Scott. "We'll just have to adjust at some point."
That's pretty much the approach Els seemed to take.
"I'll be using the short putter," Els said ahead of this week's inaugural Chiangmai Golf Classic. "But even if I won here this week, I will use the belly putter at the Masters simply because the greens are so quick over there.
"But after the Masters," the reigning British Open champion conceded, "I'll try to use the short putter more regularly."
Els looked forward to returning to the Masters after playing in it for 18 consecutive years but failing to qualify for the men's first major of the season in 2012.
"I think I used to put so much pressure on myself," said Els, whose last decent performance in Augusta was when he finished runner-up to Phil Mickelson's first major win in 2004. "And this year, I just want to enjoy it a bit more."

text: At age 15 Jacques began an apprenticeship at La Frangipane, a pastry shop in his hometown in France, where he completed his apprenticeship requirements and graduated first in his class. In 1980, Jacques approached the Michelin two-star chef Jacques Maximin at the Hotel Negresco and inquired for a job. During his days off he earned the degree of Master Pastry Chef and proceeded to teach pastry at a culinary school in Cannes from 1983-1986, where he honed his skills in preparation for the infamous Meilleur Ouvrier de France competition. In 1986, Jacques received the prestigious M.O.F. medal and was the youngest chef to earn the distinction. In 1988, the Ritz Carlton Hotel Co. petitioned him to the USA as Corporate Pastry Chef and he launched the opening of their hotel in Palm Springs. He was later transferred to the corporate headquarters in Atlanta. Shortly after, legendary Sirio Maccioni invited Jacques to work at New York's famous Le Cirque. In 2000, Jacques opened his own chocolate factory, Jacques Torres Chocolates, serving the wholesale and retail markets with his fresh, handcrafted chocolates.

Authorities identified the man killed in a fatal mobile home fire that happened Thursday night in Muscle Shoals.
The fire started just before 10 p.m. Thursday night at a mobile home park on Avalon Avenue. Firefighters said when they arrived, the house was fully involved.
Officials said 58-year-old Edward Tidwell was killed in the fire. The coroner has sent the body for an autopsy.
Neighbors said they feared the flames would spread to surrounding homes. They said they were thankful for the firefighters' fast response, but they feared the worst when they first saw the fire.
"I was trying to figure out if somebody was having a bonfire in my yard... It scared me when I actually pulled the curtain up and looked through the window," said Mary Reilly.
"All I saw was flames gushing up. It was bad; it easily could have caught any of these trailers on fire," added Cody Jones.
The state fire marshal's office continues to investigate.
According to the fire marshal, this is the 24th fire death in Alabama already this year.

Zamberlan 310 Skill GT

610 g
I purchased these boots three months ahead in preparation…
Materials: gore-tex, 2.4mm one peice leather, Vibram
Use: Casual, short dayhikes through to rough trails w/ heavy pack
Break-in Period: short - one piece leather 'gives' uniformaly
Weight: 610 grams or 1.35 pounds
Price Paid: $240 AUD
I purchased these boots three months ahead in preparation for a two month stay in Canada's Rocky Mountains. I chose the black model and as such was able to wear them with my business clothes to work each day so I could wear them in prior to arriving in Canada.
These boots were so remarkably comfortable that I did not wear my business shoes again before departing! I simply could not put my business shoes on of a morning.
I was attracted to Zamberlan for many reasons; their 80 year three generation family owned heritage, their comprehensive design philosophy and their apparent perfect blend between tried and tested design and modern influence.
When i got to the wilderness of the Rockies, I was delighted with my decision on the Skill GT; they are so protective, snug, comfortable, feel compact yet very sturdy, and make walking a rough trail a treat.
I tested my boots via hiking, scrambling and day touring over surfaces which include ice, snow, gravel, rocks, mud, grass, water. Temperature range i used them in was 30degC (Yes, canada has a heat wave in September 2009!) down to minus 20degC (in a blizzard at 2800m altitude), never were my feet hot or cold - just perfectly warm.
The one piece leather construction (similar to Scarpa's legendary SL M3) manages to use one piece except for the heel. Unlike the slightly taller Zamberlan Vioz the Skill seems to have perfected the one piece leather design. And unlike the Scarpa, the Zamberlan have utilised a far more user-friendly and modern Vibram sole.
I loaded these boots up with a heavy pack and walked some amazing terrain, having owed many taller boots specifically designed for heavy loads I know the Skill GT are perfectly capable of performing as well as a taller boot; the support and strength of this boot is remarkable. And hence I disagree with the limitation that I have read in descriptions that these are a 'day walk' or 'short hike' boot. Disagree completely.
And finally, the Vibram soles perfect this boot. Made with a far more modern design than any other one-piece-leather constructed boot, they offer a compactness which allows the user to enjoy a more agile feel which I appreciated over heavy rocky surfaces and also when i wear them casually.
Make sure you choose the right fit and buy these; you will also find you'll have a wall-of-text to say about them!

The earrings were ok. One side was cloudy compared to other side and one of the edges had a rough edge due to an internal flaw. Expected more for the price.

A group of would-be jewel thieves picked the wrong store to try and rob.
Surveillance video showed five men storming a jewelry store in Garden Grove, California, pointing guns at customers and employees.
Before getting their hands on a single jewel, the 65-year-old owner opened fire, sending them scrambling for the door. The woman then took off after the thieves.
Moments later, their SUV left so quick, three of the guys were left behind until they were picked up a block away. They all got away empty-handed.
Or did they?
On Monday, two robbers tried the same thing at a different store nearby, and again, the owner pulled out a gun. This time, one was hit in the head, and they were both arrested.
Police aren't sure the two incidents are connected, but caution store owners to take care when protecting their businesses.

I assume the turkeys and Pilgrims were hiding in the back room somewhere.
Although the image of jack-o-lanterns smirking at snowmen made my head swim, I've been known to jump the gun on holidays myself.
The year Zac and I were married, I had our little tree up at least a week before Thanksgiving.
This year I hosted an all-day marathon of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" before the fall colors had peaked and tuned all of my radios to Magic 96.5 FM after the station began playing Christmas music on Oct. 31.
It doesn't seem like so long ago that I was squeezing Wyatt into a Santa suit and plopping an elf hat and lighted reindeer ears on his little bald head for "baby's first Christmas" photos.
I'll never forget watching snow fall on Christmas morning for the first time in my lifetime. Zac and I said Somebody must really like our son to send him such a special gift.
Maybe I am skipping ahead to December because I am yearning more than usual for those warm and fuzzy feelings that the Christmas season brings.
Or maybe I'm afraid that Christmas will pass me by if I don't start celebrating early.
When I was kid, I never understood how my parents and grandparents could say to each other in amazement, "Christmas will be here before you know it." It seemed to me like Dec. 24 and 25 always took forever to get here and then went by way too fast.
Now I'm the one wondering where a whole year has gone.
That's why I am trying to learn how to live in the present even as I find myself humming "Jingle Bells" in November.
I have always looked at today as the tugboat that carried me to where I really wanted to go — that tiny speck on the horizon known as the future.
Whether it was high school graduation, the end of college or my wedding day, I couldn't wait to get there. Unfortunately, I missed a lot of scenery along the way.
For example, if I could turn back the hands of time I would savor every second of my last Christmas at home.
Although I was 22 at the time, it was the last chance I had to wake up as a kid on Christmas morning. I never would have guessed then that I would be five months pregnant with a kid of my own by the following Christmas.
Therein lies one of the problems with rushing into the future — it's never quite what you thought it would be when you get there.
Of course, I love Wyatt and I am looking forward to every Christmas morning that I'll be waking up to the pitter patter of his little feet.
I just wish that I had realized the importance of making memories with my parents before I became one myself.
The future looks a lot different now that I have a Mommy's perspective on it.
It isn't my friend anymore. It's an enemy that is going to turn my baby into a man far sooner than I'm ready for him to grow up.
It also might bring more storms, unemployment and the loss of loved ones.
Because the future isn't as appealing to me as it once was, I have gained a new appreciation for the importance of today.
One of my favorite Christian authors, Max Lucado, called days "the God-designed segments of life management" in one of his books.
He also pointed out that yesterday "slipped away as you slept" and "you can't spend tomorrow's money, celebrate tomorrow's achievements or resolve tomorrow's riddles. You have only today. This is the day the Lord has made."
God also reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that "To every thing there is a season."
As long as we appreciate each season of life He gives to us, I hope He doesn't mind if we mix and match a little.

FB Login – Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg named one of the most powerful women in the world
It's highly probable that you have a Facebook Account and use the most popular social network on a daily basis, however, even when if typing the url and your FB Login credentials as something you do as soon as your computer starts, it's probable that you don't know much about all the people that work in Facebook besides maybe Mark Zuckerberg.
Well, I'm bringing this to the table because the Forbes magazine just released a list of the world's 100 most powerful women and within that list we can find the name of Sheryl Sandberg which is working in Facebook as the COO (Chief Operating Officer), she's the #10 on that list in fb login.
The position of Sheryl Sandberg in that list is not a surprise, if you have been following what's going on with Facebook since it's foundation you know that it is nowadays one of the most influential companies in the world with near 1 billion registered users.
Along with Sheryl Sandberg position on the list, we can also find another well known woman such as: Angela Merkel(#1), Hillary Clinton(#2), Michelle Obama (#7), Marissa Mayer (#21) and many others.
There's no doubt that the popularity of Facebook will keep rising and with that, many of the key employees in the company will begin to be in the center of the public eye. It's just a reflect of currently being in a tech driven world in which the most interesting companies are building stuff on the web or in the hardware or software space.
Mark Zuckerberg himself has appeared on multiple list among the most popular and influential people in the world and even has been the cover of a lot of magazines that doesn't always relate to the tech industry.

During contact with the driver, the officer learned that she had several suspensions on her driving record, resulting in her initial arrest for Driving While License Invalid.
According to Palestine Police, while inventorying the vehicle, officers observed what appeared to be marijuana in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. A thorough examination uncovered a passenger compartment that was apparently being used to hide illicit drugs and marijuana.
A field test of the illicit drug showed that the item in question was methamphetamine. Officers determined that the substance weighed in at about 19.1 grams. The marijuana weighed less than .5 ounces. The approximate street value of the methamphetamine alone was between $1,000 and $1,200.
The driver was additionally charged with Possession of Marijuana Under Two Ounces, and Possession of Controlled Substance PG 1, 4 grams oto 200 grams, which is a 2nd Degree Felony.
Upon arrival to the Anderson County Jail, the female was searched and was also found in possession of cash, which was seized as contraband related to the criminal enterprise at that time.

I thought of starting a construction thread for ES as i believe it holds a title of being Ireland's first new tallest in the last 40 odd years. This is also the only of the proposed new 'tall' towers in the country that is actually U/c. I hope that you guys in Cork could update the rest of us (the odd photo would be nice) as I live in Dublin and would not be able to check the progress there. Also when U2 tower and Hueston gate tower begin construction I will be sure to post some snaps whenever I get the chance. Cheers

Coloradoans win buffalo chip toss competition
CHADRON, Neb. (AP) _ A Colorado man has won the men's championship at the annual World Championship Buffalo Chip Toss at the Fur Trade Days event in Chadron.
The Panhandle Post website for station KQSK says 27-year-old Charley Teal of Fort Collins, Colo., threw a piece of dried bison dung 103 feet, 6 inches on Saturday to win the male 18-and-older competition.
His throw was well short of the world record of nearly 187 feet set in 2000.
The women's crown for those 18 and older was claimed by 39-year old Crystal Ford, of Fort Collins, Colo., who tossed a chip 62 feet, 7 inches.

Plans are moving forward to bring the life of country music legend George Jones to the big screen. According to Billboard, Los Angeles based 28 Entertainment has purchased the rights to turn Jones' story into a feature film. Jones' widow, Nancy, said she and her late husband began working on the script six years ago with writer Dennis Baxter. It is not immediately known who will play The Possum in the film or when it will hit theaters. Jones passed away at a Nashville hospital in April at the age of 81.*Billboard contributed to this report.

Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington received an American Heart Association Heart Saver award Wednesday.
The award comes after providers helped save the life of 11-year-old Payton Jones of Vergennes. Jones suffered a major heart attack at a swim meet that left her nearly dead. Her heart stopped 17 times. Cardiologists call her survival a miracle. Doctors say she has a rare genetic disease.
"Payton's story is an amazing example of the chain of survival with so many people involved," said Michelle Johnston of the American Heart Association. "They provided effective advanced life support continuously and also provided integrated post-cardiac arrest care. They worked tirelessly to save her and we applaud them for their efforts."
"It was just really overwhelming. She was perfectly healthy, we didn't expect anything, anything, just really confused about why it was happening. Umm, scary," said Cathy Jones, Payton's mom.
Payton Jones is 12 now and is doing well.

There's no easy way to put this. But, well, enjoy the baseball tonight. It might be the last game you see for a couple of days.
That's the weather forecast for St. Louis this week, with Game 6 set to be played on Wednesday. A lot can change in 48 hours, but right now things aren't looking so good. This has strategical implications too, as a rain out on Wednesday would push a possible Game 7 to Friday. The extra day of rest might have allow Derek Holland to come back for another game. Is that something Ron Washington is thinking about?
"It's Harry's game," Washington said. "I'm going to stay consistent. That's Harry's game."
Harry is Matt Harrison, and regardless what happens in Games 5 and 6, he's the starter for a potential Game 7. Harrison was the starting pitcher for Game 3, which the Cardinals won by 4,401 runs, but he did suffer from some outrageously bad luck, umpiring, and defense. Holland is the star of the present, but Harrison could be the star (or goat!) of the feature.

With Center in the Square now open to the public, Roanoke's economic development team wants to use it as a centerpiece to attract new businesses.
Economic Development Director Wayne Bowers said he sells the city to businesses based on the vibrant downtown, which is easier to see now with Center in the Square back open.
He said businesses want to see a city take care of its historical center and it always helps when you can show the finished product.
"The construction went on for a while and it's kind of hard to visualize what it looks like until it's really there. Now I think we can sell it better because it's actually functioning and open for business."
Bowers said seeing businesses like the Roanoke Natural Food Co-op opening in the City Market is definitely a good start.

My name is Matt Blevins and I'm with Locate Jobs Network.
I would like to hear from companies, job search engines and aggregators interested in indexing our XML feed, available online here: http://www.locatejobsnetwork.com/feed/. Note that we can accommodate almost any XML or RSS format, so if there is a specific schema required for crawling our feed, we can modify this to comply.
I'm also currently conducting research on job search engines, job aggregators and classified sites interested in indexing job feeds in general. I'm writing both to share what I've learned as well as to elicit any comments or experiences that any of you may have to share. I've just begun this process this week, so this should provide a relatively good, updated overview of what's out there, though I certainly may have missed something.
1) Indeed
While I believe Indeed may have once indexed jobs via XML from job boards, I have learned this week that they are now only indexing feeds from direct employers. Job board operators will have to sponsor their jobs (minimum of $.15 per click) in order to be fully indexed in this manner. My experiences with Indeed have always been positive, so I have no reason to believe that their sponsored jobs program would be any different.
2) SimplyHired
SimplyHired, like Indeed, has its own XML specification and by all indications they will index an XML feed of jobs without a sponsor/paid agreement. However, if the jobs that are posted to your board are also posted elsewhere, and those jobs have been indexed in SimplyHired via a feed from the other source, it is possible (likely, I imagine) that your feed will not be accepted. I received an e-mail that referenced some very vague "quality content guidelines," though I have received no word on what those guidelines actually are. I've e-mailed SimplyHired asking for clarification on this point, but have not yet heard back from them.
3) JuJu
I submitted a properly formatted feed to JuJu this week and received word back fairly quickly that I could "sponsor" my jobs in order to have the XML feed indexed. This led me to believe that JuJu will only accept paid jobs at this point, though when I asked for clarification on this point, no further information was forthcoming. I'm still following up on this with a JuJu representative.
4) Trovit
As a classified site that features ads for jobs and other items, Trovit doesn't necessarily fall into the same category as the aforementioned, but seems to potentially be a valuable partner nonetheless. I have received excellent customer service from Trovit and our feed (again, designed to a specific standard) is in the process of being added.
Similar to Trovit, OLX is a classified site that is not limited to job postings. The customer service at OLX has also been excellent (a true pleasure to work with). We have to make some modifications to our feed and our back-end database to create a properly-formatted OLX feed, but we will be doing so in the next week or so and, given the contact I've had from them thus far, I expect that things work out well.
6) Jooble
This is a French company (I think), but with a U.S. presence as well. Our feed was quickly accepted after being submitted. There are also paid options or "partner" options (whereby you must display a banner linking to their site on your home page), but free feed indexing is available.
7) JobiJoba
They are the only company mentioned thus far that has a default RSS specification (the others are plain XML). We have submitted our feed to them and, though I've had no contact with them, it appears that free feed indexing is a possibility.
8) CareerJet
I heard back from CareerJet quickly after submitting and learned that only paid options were available. From what I can gather, there is a $100 minimum for account funding and the CPC rate is $.05. I have not yet signed up for this, and I'm curious to know if anyone has any experiences with this company. they appear to be entirely legitimate and to have a fairly good user base. They are based in Europe (the UK, I believe), but also appear to have a nice U.S. presence.
9) Yakaz
I at first had difficulty signing up for a developer account here, but a contact via their online form was returned quickly and the problem fixed within one day. I then submitted our feed and was happy to find that it was submitted for review quickly and easily. We are not yet indexed, but I expect that we will be shortly.
10) TopUsaJobs.com
This is purely a paid option and, though I've not yet submitted a feed, I believe that this is an option for delivering jobs to them as part of their paid program.
11) Oodle
Last, but certainly not least, is Oodle, which features job postings as well as other classifieds (in a similar manner to Trovit and OLX). We've submitted our feed, and by all indications the free indexing option is available. Our feed has not yet been indexed but, again, I expect it will be.
Finally, I've read various posts on JobBoarders indicating that members (aside from those mentioned above) are also accepting feeds. Among them have been alljobsfilled.com and jobregate.com. To Bruce and Jody - I'll be following up with you shortly!
If anyone has any information to add, please feel free to do so and, again, we would love to know if there are aggregators or job search sites out there who would like to accept our feed of user-posted jobs.

Hi Matthew
We are accepting feeds - however during this final transition I can not guarantee if or when your jobs will be shown on our site. This is due to us moving to our completely custom platform. But we are always and are still compiling a list of feeds for our launch.
Thanks Jody - if you wish to index our feed, you can use this URL: http://www.locatejobsnetwork.com/feed/.
And, if the move to a new platform precludes indexing, no problem at all.
Matthew -- we're new and just starting to accept feeds on our site (JOBANCY). Since we only focus on part-time jobs in California, are you able to provide an XML feed with only those jobs? Feel free to shoot it over so we can get it up -- http://www.jobancy.com/contactus.html
Hi Ian - just responded via e-mail...
Job search landscape is no different. It seems like when people lose jobs,
it's not just the job search engines that reap the benefits online.
It's services like Ma job

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - The Green Bay Packers aren't ruling out Aaron Rodgers even though the star quarterback hasn't yet been medically cleared to play since breaking his left collarbone a month ago.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Rodgers will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday but backup Matt Flynn will take the starter's snaps.
Speaking on his weekly radio show Tuesday, Rodgers confirmed that he underwent an X-ray and CT scan earlier in the day. He admitted that the outlook wasn't as promising as he'd hoped when he met with team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie.
The Packers enter Sunday's game 5-6-1 and are 0-4-1 since Rodgers was injured on the opening series of their loss to the Chicago Bears on Nov. 4.
