Alcohol Free
A Binaca Blast that lasts!
Extreme Fresh Breath!
I suffer from really bad breath. Especially in the mornings. I needed something that would kill all the bad breath germs instantly in my mouth every morning and last throughout the day. I tried out Binaca mouth rinse and was very surprised at the effectiveness of the mouth rinse. The peppermint is very strong but it works! It's alcohol free which I prefer, rinses with alcohol tend to have a lingering aftertaste which does not help with the bad breath. I use this rinse everyday and follow up in the afternoon with some gum. I am no longer self conscious about my bad breath. Thanks!

I made this salad one day using a little shortcut of bagged shredded Broccoli Slaw that you can find in your grocery store produce section. To it I added, some grape tomatoes, chickpeas, crumbled blue cheese and balsamic vinegar. It doesn't take long and it will definitely satisfy your taste buds. And bonus… its good for you, like a good salad should be.
Note: If you aren't a fan of blue cheese, try it with gorgonzola, it' a little milder and equally delicious. I used Ile de France's St. Agur blue cheese recently for this salad and wow, my taste buds were singing! Good stuff!
Broccoli Slaw Salad
Recipe from Aggie's Kitchen
(printable recipe)
Recipe makes enough for 1 or 2 people (depending if it's the main dish or a side)

"Son of God," a new film about the life of Jesus, is set to release in a couple weeks.
I don't think I'm going to go see it.
I'm not proud of this. I'm Catholic, and believe that Jesus is God. I support religious conservatives and their attempts to make films. But a great Catholic mystic, Adrienne von Speyr, once observed that people in the Bible who meet Jesus still continue to look for him — that is, they can't get enough of God. Even when they have met Jesus they continue to follow him to seek another encounter. The experience never ends.
The point is that God is dynamic, not static. Jesus is not just in the desert or on the cross, but in the lives we live today. The wonder of his creation is in the film "Gravity." His passion is heard in the music of U2. His affirmative love for his creatures can be seen in the love of Billy Graham and Pope Francis. And the other side, the dark side, is also at work. This is the great drama of life that we are born into.
St. Augustine noted that the truth about the love of God and the spiritual nature of man is ever ancient and ever new. Conservative religious filmmakers and their fans have cottoned to the ancient part, which is why they keep making movies about the Bible. But they don't seem to care much about the ever-new part. Even while core truths don't change, the world that God created is ever changing, with new stories, poems, music, personalities, and battles to make films about.
We don't need another film about Jesus — at least, not a rote, faithful representation of the Jesus in the Bible, which is what "Son of God" looks like. We need movies about the spirit that moves in the world today.
Sitting on my desk is a screenplay I just printed out. I've just spent a year on it. It's about Whittaker Chambers, one of the greatest conservative heroes of the 20th century.
On my computer is another screenplay, which is in progress, It's called "Lepanto." It tells the story of the 1571 Battle of Lepanto. That was the sea battle when an outnumbered and disorganized group of Catholic soldiers calling themselves the Holy League defeated the main fleet of the Ottoman Empire. Many historians believe Lepanto was the battle that saved Europe from being conquered by Islam. It's "300" meets "Master and Commander." Of course, because it shows the aggressive nature of early Islam and how it spread by the sword, Hollywood won't go near it.
I also have in mind a biopic about U2's early years, when they were serious evangelical Christians. It would be a movie about rock and roll and God, and where the two intersect. "Almost Famous" for the same people who will go see "Son of God."
Those are three screenplays that most likely won't ever get produced in Hollywood. But it might not matter if religious conservatives and the producers of "Son of God" begin to think creatively about what their next move should be. If they're wise, they'll realize that at this point in the history of religious and politically conservative movies it's time for Christians to branch out and tell other stories. We don't need to abandon our religion; Christianity has so informed the art, politics and culture of the West that it would be a part of almost any story conservatives would put on the screen. We can just tell some modern stories.

Our University Relations Program focuses on preparing the best and brightest young people to drive innovation in business analytics theory, perform cutting-edge analytics research, and create tomorrow's solutions today.
University Programs
The Institute for Business Analytics (IBA) at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business supports academic programs that prepare students to solve business problems using analytics, as well as corporate partnerships that shape the school's understanding of analytics and help companies tap into Kelley's talent. The IBA uses the resources of the prestigious Kelley School of Business to produce insightful research and train professionals who can excel in this exciting new field of Business Analytics. As an IBA founding member, Deloitte will receive a seat on the institute's advisory council and collaborate on research, analytics classes and other educational activities. Deloitte will also participate in the annual Kelley Forum on Business Analytics in April and contribute articles to the OnAnalytics semi-annual magazine. For more information on the program visit the Institute for Business Analytics webpage.
The University of Texas McCombs School of Business has developed, through the Information, Risk & Operations department, a Masters degree concentrating on Business Analytics (MSIROM: Business Analytics). This degree is in response to the growing market demand for professionals who are able to extract business insights from Big Data. The program focuses on students with exceptional quantitative, technical and communication skills and combines classroom experience in statistics, data mining and programming with functional applications such as marketing, social media and supply chain analytics. Deloitte has become one of two founding partners for the McCombs Business Analytics Masters program, along with Walmart and will serve on the Executive Council, providing scholarships, projects, workshops, guest speakers, insight and advice as the program develops. The support from the founding partners, Deloitte and Walmart, has helped the program's efforts to recruit top-notch students.

The Customer Analytics Initiative at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (WCAI) is an academic research center focusing on the development and application of customer analytic methods. WCAI provides data-driven customer-level analysis, applying these methods in a wide range of industries including interactive media, financial services, pharmaceuticals, telecom, nonprofits, and other areas where the use of detailed customer-level datasets is a key driver for business success. Deloitte Analytics is collaborating with the Customer Analytics Initiative and will help advance the knowledge base around business problems that can be addressed with customer analytics by helping WCAI offer more student-facing programs and analytics- driven co-curricular activities beyond its existing research program. As part of its initiative with WCAI, Deloitte will help sponsor student and alumni events, coordinate panel discussions at conferences, and participate in exclusive forums with other WCAI corporate sponsors who are leading practitioners in analytics. Deloitte will also work with WCAI to co-develop thought leadership pieces on topics around analytics that will be released externally.

Joining the center as founding sponsor is Deloitte, which will also serve as an advisory board member. Through its Deloitte Analytics program, Deloitte will work directly with the center to further its long-term objectives. The Center's long-term objectives are to expand Pamplin faculty participation in sponsored research related to business intelligence and analytics, particularly by interdisciplinary project teams, and to establish an industry advisory board that can lead to enhanced financial support for the Center, internships and employment opportunities for students, and research sponsorships for faculty.

Wonder Woman vs. Parademons in this Justice League: War Clip
Educated Guess
DC's upcoming animated feature Justice League: War is based on the Geoff Johns and Jim Lee story from the New 52 and the newest clip from it features Wonder Woman fighting some Parademons. However you may feel about the storyline, the video above is... not exactly promising. Sure, it's nice to see Wonder Woman kicking ass, but the random costume that doesn't match anything she's ever worn before and the fairly wooden voice acting doesn't exactly bode well for the film. Thoughts? Opinions? Fire away! Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?Read More

Oscar nominee Barkhad Abdi on his riveting role in Captain Phillips.
Captain Phillips, Barkhad Abdi Nominated Academy Award, Oscars
He scored an Oscar nomination fo rhis role in Captain Phillips, and has been hanging with some of Hollywood's A-list thanks to his new found stardom! According to The New Yorker, Barkhad Abdi, who was working as a chauffeur when he was cast in the movie, is seriously struggling financially. The 28-year-old played Muse, the leader of the group of Somali priates who take on Tom Hanks in the best picture nominee, and despite the films $55 million dollar budget, Barkhad only earned $65,000 for his performance. "When Abdi is in Los Angeles to promote the film, he subsits on a per diem, good at the Beverly Hilton, where the studio likes to put him up," the report states. The paper goes on to say that his clothes are loaners and the town car he uses is only available when its for official publicity events.
Captain Phillips star's subtle hint to Hanks
More Clips & Interviews
Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two-time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks, Best Actor, 1993, Philadelphia; Best Actor, 1994, Forrest Gump), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. The two men are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

FPG one-to-one coaching case study
Enhancing inspirational leadership
The context
This senior Technology Executive wanted further advancement and increased responsibility but had recognised that he needed to work on three key development areas: 1) Influencing and communicating more effectively/impactfully, 2) Easier more efficient decision making, and 3) Becoming a more visionary leader, enhancing his relationships with senior executives both inside and outside his own organisation. He also wanted to focus on expanding trust in his own judgment and intuition and improving his ability to deal with the 'grey area', having more inner more courage, confidence and creativity.
The leadership programme FPG delivered consisted of ten one-to-one sessions over seven months, combining face-to-face with telephone sessions and email support. Sessions included visioning and personal and professional planning, prioritisation of key goals and initiatives, clarification of personal drivers, needs, values and belief systems. He was challenged to operate 'outside of his comfort zone', overcoming several limiting beliefs and changing negative behaviours by thinking 'out of the box' on a more consistent basis. During the programme he was challenged to create and maintain key new habits. This client's understanding of the benefits coaching had brought him was corroborated by his colleagues.
The results
- A more positive, proactive attitude, more focus, with clearer short and longer term plans
- Genuine enhancement of personal presence, ability to gain buy-in to ideas
- Greater sense of confidence and belief in ability to leverage and amplify strengths, make quick decisions, see further ahead, challenge and empower people
- Better team motivation, with challenge to 'up their game'
- Up-turn in turnover after three months

8 November 2013
The Charity Commission, the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales, opened a statutory inquiry into Busoga Association UK, registered charity number 1081149, on 25 October 2013.
The Commission initially opened a compliance case into the charity in April 2013. This was to examine concerns that had been raised with the regulator by another charity that insufficient accounting records had been made available to confirm sufficiently how funds were applied.1 These concerns were raised with the charity and a books and records inspection was conducted which identified further regulatory concerns regarding the charity's governance, due diligence and monitoring procedures.
The regulatory concerns relating to the administration of the charity have been increased by the trustees' failure to engage with the Commission, raising serious concerns about the risk to the charity's funds. On opening the inquiry, the Commission has taken immediate steps to freeze the charity's bank accounts as a protective measure, which means that payments cannot be made from the charity's bank account without the consent of the Commission.2
The scope of the Commission's investigation is to determine whether:
It is the Commission's policy, after it has concluded an inquiry, to publish a report detailing what issues the inquiry looked at, what actions were undertaken as part of the inquiry and what the outcomes were. Reports of previous inquiries by the Commission are available on its website.
You can view the charity's details on the Register of Charities.
For press enquiries contact our press office.
1. The Charity Commission is the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales. See www.charitycommission.gov.uk for further information.
2. Our mission is to be the independent registrar and regulator of charities in England and Wales, acting in the public's interest, to ensure that:
3. Section 46 of the Charities Act 2011 gives the Charity Commission the power to institute inquiries. The opening of an inquiry gives the Commission access to a range of protective and remedial powers.
4. The Commission's decision to announce the opening of a statutory inquiry is based on whether it is in the public interest to do so and with consideration of our objective to increase public trust and confidence in charities. Read more information on the Commission's policy and factors taken into account when deciding to issue a press release.
1. Compliance cases deal with charities that require robust regulatory intervention. More about this work can be read in our Annual Report 2012/13
2. These Orders were made under section 76(3)(d) of the Charities Act 2011. The bank may not part with any money or securities which it holds on behalf of the charity without the prior written approval of the Commission. The bank may, however, make such payments as shall be authorised in writing by or on behalf of the Commission. Payments into the account can be made as normal.

RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) – Video captured by a journalism professor showed police removing a woman, wearing a black burka, from President Obama's weekend campaign rally at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
In the video, you can see two Richmond Police officers walking the screaming woman out of the VCU Siegel Center. It appears the woman is wearing a black burka. It is unclear if she was only wearing a niqab (face veil) and a hijab (head scarf).
VCU journalism professor Vivian Medina-Messner shot the video which captures the woman screaming something as police escort her from the building.
We first found a picture of the incident on the website Ironic Surrealism.
Amie Parnes, a White House correspondent tweeted about the occurrence, saying a woman with a burka was being removed.
As I wrote in my pool reports, a woman wearing a black burka was escorted out of the Richmond rally by police during Obama's speech.—
Amie Parnes (@amieparnes) May 05, 2012
VCU Police Chief John Venuti said the woman was causing a disturbance and was escorted out of the building.
He told us he does not believe the woman was arrested, but that the Secret Service is investigating the matter.
An independent White House journalist also tweeted about the event.
Pool reporter @AmieParnes studied pool photos of the woman. She "appears to be wearing U.S. military insignia" and "had a book in her hand"—

Pro Sports Win Big With Exclusive Video, Online Apps, and Social Media
With an increasingly competitive market and more options than ever, official team and franchise websites have doubled down on their most useful assets — exclusive video, interactive applications, and social media — to remain relevant in the digital sports conversation.
Official league and franchise websites face challenges to appeal to casual and dedicated fans. Historically, sites like NFL.com and its franchises served as a platform to sell tickets, jerseys, and keep fans informed at the brand level, working to sell the brand rather than inform the customer.
But the sports fan in 2014 simply demands more: Analytics have become increasingly studied, understood, and embraced by sports enthusiasts; athletes and teams are engaging on social media; and fans today not only have access to their favorite players stats — there's a good chance they know what they had for breakfast this morning.

Hello loyal readers,
I want to update you on the status of this blog and the content found here. We will be transitioning the focus to support our newly launched Symantec Cyber Career Connection initiative, as well as related cybersecurity educational programs around the world. I expect the shift to occur in September so stay tuned.
I hope you will take the time to learn a bit about our new Symantec Cyber Career Connection, intended to help underserved young adults enter into the field of cybersecurity careers. It was announced by Secretary Hillary Clinton at a recent Clinton Global Initiative conference in Denver, CO.

It's just the start of November, but some folks have already been skiing in Vermont. And many others are "gearing" up for the season.
In a matter of hours Friday afternoon, the gym at Camel's Hump Middle School was transformed from an open space to a room filled with just about anything winter-related.
It's all for the Cochran's Ski & Ride Sale, and 20 percent of the proceeds benefit the Cochran's youth racing team and helps keep it affordable.
Organizers told us you can find everything from the usuals like skis and snowboards to socks, snowpants or helmets.
"There's a line that forms I think starting at about 7 a.m. and by 8 a.m. when we open there's a line that wraps around the building and some year's there's snow and it's really exciting," says coordinator Laura Slesar.
The sale is set up by volunteers and a lot of parents from the ski and ride team.
It's going on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and again Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

|Calif. Reports First death from West Nile virus
|Written by San Fernando Valley Sun
|Thursday, 09 August 2012 01:44
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - State officials say an 88-yearold Kern County woman is the first person to die from the West Nile virus in California this year.
Department of Public Health officials said Friday the virus is sickening people earlier this year than last year.
So far ten people in five California counties have gotten sick from West Nile virus this year. More than 240 people have been reported ill nationwide.
Last year, 159 people in California got sick from the virus, and nine people died.
West Nile virus is transmitted to humans and animals through mosquito bites. For most people, the risk of illness is low, but the elderly and people with diabetes or hypertension are more vulnerable.
Officials say people should protect themselves from mosquito bites and eliminate standing water.

Kerbside flowers help persuade drivers to slow down
10:00pm Tuesday 17th June 2014 in News By Rachel Bayne, Reporter covering Headington and Marston. Call me on 01865 425422
A STREET in Headington has been given a makeover to encourage drivers to keep to a 20mph speed limit.
Members of the Highfield Residents' Association have set up two large raised flower beds and four square flower beds on Lime Walk.
They hope that the £800 planters will brighten up the road and cause drivers to slow down.
Committee member for Traffic Phil Gauron, said: "It is a general reminder that the road is a 20mph zone.
"There's lots of grannies and kids and there's speeding traffic. People are perfectly entitled to use our street, as long as they are driving at 20mph.
"We would like to see more restrictions on the street to reinforce that this is a residential community and not just any road that people drive through."
The association applied for funding from county councillor Roz Smith's community grant to pay for the raised beds.
The planters have been made and designed by the Pathway Workshop, which is a charity based in Blackbird Leys that makes raised beds and garden furniture. The charity works with disadvantaged adults aged between 16 and 80, with both physical disabilities and learning impairments.
Mr Gauron, a Lime Walk resident, said: "We had known about the Pathway Workshop for a long time and we wanted to support a positive venture, rather than just buy them from a company. The point is to raise awareness and hopefully drivers will drive more slowly through that junction."
Youngsters have also designed special banners for the beds and there are also flags and plants. Organisers hope to plant more plants later this year.
Smaller pot plants lasted six to eight months on Lime Walk, but the organisers hope that these raised beds will last for years to come.
Frank McKenna worked with Mr Gauron to plan for the raised beds and the Lime Walk residents are pleased with the results.
Mr McKenna said: "The community has been working with Oxfordshire County Council to have traffic calming measures in the area for a number of years. It has proved popular with pedestrians and cyclists and not so popular with motorists, which suggests it has been successful.
"I think for something that has been done with a limited budget, they look quite acceptable."
Community groups battled for 15 years to reduce the speed limit on the road and hope these new raised beds will encourage drivers to keep to the speed limit.
Oxfordshire county councillor for Headington and Quarry Mrs Smith said: "They applied for one of the councillors' community grants. Originally they had come together to put pot plants out to show where the new chicane was. It was to make the road much more pedestrian friendly and to make cars and traffic aware that there was a heavily used pedestrian crossing point. The council decided that they weren't really suitable.
"I'm always looking for other community ideas that people want to apply for. I think it was a street-friendly idea."

It's a public road, so it is "just any road that people drive through".
You could make the flowers even more effective by tying them to a lamp post and embedding a car into a tree.

This would allow a clear pedestrian boulevard all the way from Windmill Road to Brookside.

The cycles would ride through there faster than 20mph and also be allowed to get away with it because as we know from previous reports on here - speed limits don't apply to cyclists.
9:03pm Wed 18 Jun 14
Christine Hovis says...
The problem in these roads is two fold: at rush hours, there is a procession of traffic, weaving along, often going a bit too fast. This junction has been designed to try and slow the traffic down a bit, and that's handy as a proportion of the procession goes off down All Saints Road to try and get through. Let's call that 'rat running'. It's legal, and it would be nice if the volume of traffic was much lower so that people didn't feel the need to do it, but that's ok.
Then, say in the evenings, there are those who still drive through these streets, even though the wider roads with pedestrian crossings etc are clear. Some of those people take the opoprtunity to nip along. At these times it is quite common to find people going well over 30. The County has the data; TVP could issue a lot of fixed penalties if they hung around in the evenings. These people really need to slow down.
So, if a few flower beds help to remind people that this isn't the A40, but a road that was laid out for people to live on before anyone had cars, then that's good.

but its okay.
Wow.... okay a couple of items....
Could the NHL make it any more obvious that they want Pittsburgh to win? Tonight we not only beat the Penguins, but we beat the men in stripes as well. Once again against this miserable team, it was 5 on 7 hockey all game long. The only intelligent thing Micheletti said all night long was, 'when do you ever see 5 nothing on power play chances?'
I absolutely hate Sidney Crosby. Trash talking little mutt bastard. You take Lundqivst's legs out like a little bitch and then have the audacity to talk shit to him? Why cause you couldn't pot one tonight? And I wish Matt Cooke would sustain a career ending injury .... I'm serious; he's a piece of shit out there and mark my words, he's gonna cause another major injury before the end of the year.
Joe Micheletti is the worst commentator in hockey....he's right down there with Chico Resh. The game the other night when Dave Maloney did color was like a breath of fresh air - I actually learned things. What a screw up on MSG's part, wasting Maloney on the radio and keeping this chud in my ear every damn game.
And I hate to say this, but its time for Sam to go. He's done. Its mistake after mistake, every night now. He can't see; I sit here correcting him feeling terrible because I love Sam. His voice and Ranger games are one and the same to me.
All in all, our best effort second and third periods....incredible game and our homegrown talent is really, really starting to shine through...

Tax Breaks Must Bring Home the Bacon!
Commissioner Tommy Adkisson
May 15, 2003
One of the most difficult tasks of elected officials is the difficult process of dealing with tax incentives. At first I had to struggle with just the acronyms TIF and TIRZ! The TIF is a tax abatement most often for commercial enterprises like Toyota while the TIRZ is a tax increment reinvestment zone, most often directed to those communities that are languishing economically.
The biggest struggle I have had is to figure out who is most deserving in terms of the extent of the benefit that accrues to the community. At the outset of my service as Commissioner I was successful in moving and passing a measure on the Court to support a Congressional effort to ban tax incentives altogether within the United States. This would prevent American cities and states from competing with each other and "giving away the farm" in the process.
What I found in the process of serving on the Court is that historically "dead" zones existed that needed an extra boost to become economically viable for housing development. I also found that businesses like Toyota and other less large businesses that joined the public sector in a joint public and private venture to generate jobs and economic activity are desirable to the maintenance of a functional community. So my view was tempered by these kinds of considerations.
We all know though that often it is not what is being done but how it is being done. The "what" of these proposed tax incentives is being done in the environment of "how" tax incentives are being awarded. That environment involves lobbyists and a campaign finance system that is rather rudimentary and capable of placing elected officials in a bad light, yet is a part of the American economacracy.
To address more fully the questions about the "how", the County and the City are appointing a Joint County/City Tax Phase-In Guideline Task Force. This committee is composed of five Bexar County appointees and five City of San Antonio appointees to hold public meetings on issues that might impact the County or City tax phase-in guidelines, synthesize the public input, and develop draft guidelines for each governmental entity to consider for approval.
My appointee incidentally, is Mr. Fred Pfeiffer, retired General Manager of the San Antonio River Authority. He is thoroughly familiar with the nature of this topic, the impact on homeowners and the role of tax incentives in economic generation. He is a devoted student of public policy and a devoted citizen to our community's ongoing improvement.
This Committee is in my opinion, unable to adequately address the questions that arise from the faulty system of campaign finance plagued primarily by big money and special interests. Until we find a way to cap campaign expenditures, we will continue to have a "race for the money" that is built into the current system for the financing of campaigns. I have previously written on the subject of reform and will continue to do so, knowing that there is a multitude of opinions as to the real "fix" of our system. Perhaps for the time being we can somewhat console ourselves with the fact that those making decisions on tax incentives are subject to election by the people.
I look forward to keeping you posted on the progress of our Joint Committee.

Tax Free for Every Household in Poverty
The Weekly Standard
The amount of money spent on welfare programs equals, when converted to cash payments, about "$168 per day for every household in poverty," the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee finds.
According to the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee, welfare spending per day per household in poverty is $168, which is higher than the $137 median income per day. When broken down per hour, welfare spending per hour per household in poverty is $30.60, which is higher than the $25.03 median income per hour.
"Based on data from the Congressional Research Service, cumulative spending on means-tested federal welfare programs, if converted into cash, would equal $167.65 per day per household living below the poverty level," writes the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee. "By comparison, the median household income in 2011 of $50,054 equals $137.13 per day. Additionally, spending on federal welfare benefits, if converted into cash payments, equals enough to provide $30.60 per hour, 40 hours per week, to each household living below poverty. The median household hourly wage is $25.03. After accounting for federal taxes, the median hourly wage drops to between $21.50 and $23.45, depending on a household's deductions and filing status. State and local taxes further reduce the median household's hourly earnings. By contrast, welfare benefits are not taxed."
The universe of means-tested welfare spending refers to programs that provide low-income assistance in the form of direct or indirect financial support -- such as food stamps, free housing, child care, etc. -- and which the recipient does not pay into (in contrast to Medicare or Social Security). For fiscal year 2011, CRS identified roughly 80 overlapping federal means-tested welfare programs that together represented the single largest budget item in 2011 -- more than the nation spends on Social Security, Medicare, or national defense. The total amount spent on these federal programs, when taken together with approximately $280 billion in state contributions, amounted to roughly $1 trillion. Nearly 95 percent of these costs come from four categories of spending: medical assistance, cash assistance, food assistance, and social / housing assistance. Under the President's FY13 budget proposal, means-tested spending would increase an additional 30 percent over the next four years.
The diffuse and overlapping nature of federal welfare spending has led to some confusion regarding the scope and nature of benefits. For instance, Newark Mayor Cory Booker has recently received a great deal of attention for adopting the "food stamp diet" in which he spends only $4 a day on food (the median individual benefit) to apparently illustrate the insufficiency of food stamp spending ($80 billion a year) or the impossibility of reductions. The situation Booker presents, however, is not accurate: a low-income individual on food stamps may qualify for $25,000 in various forms of welfare support from the federal government on top of his or her existing income and resources -- including access to 15 different food assistance programs. Further, even if one unrealistically assumes that no other welfare benefits are available, the size of the food stamp benefit increases as one's income decreases, as the benefit is designed as a supplement to existing resources; it is explicitly not intended to be the sole source of funds for purchasing food.
Editor's Note: Weigh this against the fact that the average income for an employee of the federal government comes out to $75,000 annually...are you pissed off yet?...

Rep. Marshall: We need to insist that our representatives quit moving farther & farther towards the political fringes & come back towards the center.
Speaking to the Rotary Club Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall said that domestic issues like Medicaid and the deficit should be top priority for Congress, not partisan politics.Marshall, a decorated Vietnam veteran, law professor and former mayor of Macon, will take the place of longtime Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop in representing Tifton if new redistricting maps are approved.
In no uncertain terms, Marshall expressed his "pessimism" towards the prospect of Congress doing anything productive about vital domestic programs and mounting deficits and trade imbalances, and said that congressional politicians need to quit politicizing judicial nominees.
"Enough is enough," Marshall said. "Americans need to come out and insist that their representatives quit moving farther and farther towards the political fringes and come back towards the center to get these vital domestic issues solved."
Marshall said that over the last 20 years the political landscape of the country has moved from one with the majority of the country living in areas where a Republican or Democrat could be elected to a growing population of stubborn voters who vote for one party consistently every term.
A conservative Democrat, Marshall criticized the Bush Administration for "playing politics" with judicial nominees, saying that they shouldn't cringe at negative results from Congress if they are intent on choosing such "controversial" candidates for the job.
Marshall also said that he had voted down three Republican budgets and three Democratic budgets while searching for one that achieved a "truly fiscal conservative" position. He says he doesn't advocate raising taxes, but does stress smart spending by government.
When asked about the growing illegal immigrant problem in the country, Marshall spoke bluntly about his role in the issue."Frankly, I can tell you that this congressman isn't going to do anything about the immigration issue," Marshall said. "Right now there are committees on the hill that are looking at that and focusing on that very issue. I'm just not going to get involved with it."
Eunice Mixon, a longtime local Democrat, historian and educator, praised Marshall as one of the "old line" of Georgia Democrats."He's of the Sam Nunn and George Busbee variety," Mixon said. "He's a good conservative Democrat."
Marshall graduated from high school in 1966 and headed to Princeton University where he went two years before dropping out to enlist in the Army. A decorated Army Ranger, Marshall was wounded in Vietnam before returning to the U.S. to get his law degree at Boston University.
Marshall eventually settled in Macon, where he taught law at Mercer University and was later elected mayor of the city. He is currently in his third term as the Congressional representative of the 3rd district.

Released on behalf of the Lord Mayor's charity.
A Wythenshawe-based food company is disproving the adage that there's no such thing as a free meal.
This Valentine's Day, The Authentic Food Company, which produces ready-made meals for supermarkets, is pledging to donate 2,000 meals to needy people throughout the city.
Working with the We Love Manchester charity, which is the Lord Mayor's charity, Authentic Food is donating hampers of ready-made meals to the value of £3,500.
The frozen meals - including dishes such as hotpot, corned beef hash, chicken korma and chicken tikka masala - will then be distributed to a diverse range of community groups, refuges and drop-in centres across the city.
The hampers will be delivered free of charge by transport provided by Bramall Construction, which specialises in community regeneration projects.
The Lord Mayor of Manchester , Cllr Harry Lyons JP, said: "The We Love Manchester charity is a way that all Mancunians help each other and show their legendary largesse. And what better way to show you care than by treating someone to a quality meal that they don't have to cook or shop for? Thank you to both The Authentic Food Company and Bramall Construction for their generosity."
The Authentic Food Company also recently won the Business in the Community section of Manchester City Council's Be Proud awards, which recognise the work of community heroes.
Nik Basran, managing director of The Authentic Food Company, said: "We pride ourselves on our dedication to the surrounding community and we are thrilled to be working with the We Love Manchester charity.
"It's often said that the way to a person's heart is through their stomach - and our promise this Valentine's Day is definitely both heart-felt and gastronomic."

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Earnings Trump Europe (Final)
Search Jim Cramer's Mad Money trading recommendations using our exclusive Mad Money Stock Screener and watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- "Stocks aren't playing with the bear anymore," Jim Cramer announced to his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Monday.
He told them that this quarter's earnings have been a gamechanger for the markets and Europe simply doesn't have the fire power to keep U.S. markets down any longer.Cramer said that investors are finally coming to the realization that most companies simply don't have any exposure to the eurozone and those that do are having strong earnings that are actually making a difference. He said that even Juniper Networks (JNPR), a stock which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, and does have European business is rallying off its lows. Cramer said in just about every sector, from financials like Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) to apparel with VF Corp (VFC) to the oil patch with Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL) are showing strength despite continued uncertainties in Europe. Was all of the Euro madness overblown? Cramer said no. He said investors are right to worry and are right to take profits on big up days. "It would be crazy to dismiss Europe," he said, but it turns out that the strategy of "kick the can down the down" is giving banks and countries time to prepare for the worst and is slowing letting the air out of the balloon. Cramer remained bullish on retail, which has no European exposure. He likes Macy's (M), Ross Stores (ROST) and Home Depot (HD). Cramer was also hot on IBM (IBM), Cummins (CMI) and Alcoa (AA), three more Action Alerts PLUS names.

Cairo Time captures present-day concerns and emotional conflict in an exotic, timeless world
In this age of global trade and telecommunications, the reality depicted in Cairo Time should feel quaint, remote and outmoded. Haven't these places lost much of their exotic appeal, their charms and uniqueness diluted by a thousand travel shows, hip guidebooks and reality programs? Yes. They have. And shouldn't we be dubious, even antagonistic, to the notion that there are any truly alien experiences left to be had on this planet? Again, very probably yes. Yet the film manages to create and sustain exactly the timelessness and otherworldliness that it set out to.
Juliette (Patricia Clarkson) is a successful editor of a magazine that does not expect her to be flamboyant or dominating. She is quiet, circumspect and comfortable with her place in the world. She arrives in Cairo to spend time with her husband (Tom McCamus), a UN bureaucrat who has been working in Gaza, only to find him delayed indefinitely in the Middle East. He asks an acquaintance, Tareq (Alexander Siddig), to meet up with her. What follows is both predictable and completely unexpected.
Playing a woman who collides with and is ultimately seduced by not only a place or even a man, but more significantly by the woman she never knew she wanted to be, Clarkson says Cairo Time became more of a minefield than anticipated.
"Juliette and I are not at all alike, but I wound up finding more similarities than I ever would have expected," she confesses. "The thing was that, like Juliette, I had never been to Cairo either. It was very difficult to separate my own epiphanies of being in that marvellous place from the ones Juliette was bringing to the story."
It's fair to say Cairo Time is the sort of story we don't get much of anymore. This kind of ex-pat yarn -exotic, sensual, ambling and genteel – harkens back to an era when Westerners marked their bande à part status by flying to the far reaches, sinking in and distilling their experiences. But Cairo Time isn't set in the 1920s or '30s, it's set in the here and now, and travels at its own pace – which, according to Clarkson, is a speed particular to Cairo itself.
"The place really does have its own rhythm," she says. "I mean, [I], Patsy, was making a film, and [my character] Juliette was biding her time waiting for her husband, but Cairo doesn't care. We were both very much lost in the strangely sluggish immediacy of it. It's simply not possible to function at any other pace – it's just Cairo time. It's hard not to be reflective in that environment."

He's helped celebrities lose weight & he's led millions on weight loss challenges. Now, Dr. Ian Smith has a new book to get folks motivated and shred the pounds. It's the #1 diet book in the country: SHRED: The Revolutionary Diet! Lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks or 4" or 2 sizes.
20 lbs in 6 weeks, how?
You know it is amazing. Over the summer I was Tweeting out to my followers a simple program to lose weight. By the end of the summer we had over 5,000 people on Twitter and Facebook that lost, in 6 weeks, an average of 20 lbs., 4", 2 sizes. Listen, I have 3 rules when it comes to losing weight:
Shred is a program that says you eat 4 meals a day. You have 3 snack options. You're never hungry, its regular inexpensive food you can buy in any grocery store and you eat every 3-4 hours. By eating every 3-4 hours, it keeps your metabolism high but it also keeps your insulin levels-your hormone levels nice and stable to prevent those spikes that cause weight gain.
The other thing is called diet confusion and that is just like muscle confusion for weight lifters; in diet confusion we change the types of food you eat, the calories that you consume day to day-week to week and that will also keep your body off kilter and keep you burning calories. People love the program because its simple and it's a lifestyle plan.
What I like about it is I'm skimming thru the book is that you lay it out, every single day- week by week, what to eat and when to eat it. You take the guess work out of it for us.
What I have learned from doing this a very long time, people want some kind of simple directions. But, there is also flexibility. If you're a diabetic, vegan, a vegetarian, you can actually change meals in and out or make substitutions. So, it's a very accommodating program but it's also very portable. For people that are busy or always on the go, you can switch your meals. You can have soup, smoothies and shakes sometimes if you can't sit down for a real meal. But most importantly, people love that is a do-able plan and it's honest. You can have, sometimes, pancakes and bacon in the morning or you can have grits. Regular food but we teach you how to eat it in a healthier way.
So who's this for? Is this for someone who has 100 lbs. to loose or someone who has 20 lbs.?
Well it's interesting, this is for everybody. I found in our test subjects that people that were losing the last 20 lbs. did extremely well. But we have people that are down 70 lbs. already since the summer. So it's a wide range of people, but it is for people who really want a program that's do-able. It's not a diet. It really is a lifestyle plan.
It appears to be just that. I was looking in the back of the book; you have the recipes for a lot of things like your lentil soup and some beef soup, all in the back.
Well the idea is very simple; people want a program that they can do so a lot of the smoothies, shakes and soups are made in 30 minutes or less. In fact, entire families have gone on the Shred diet. You were talking earlier this morning about the children not being healthy and the letter to the parents. This program, Shred, has helped families because it is a way of eating for everyone. It's regular food. It's turkey, its chicken, its fish. It's nothing special, it's nothing extraordinary…the whole family can enjoy it.
You know Memphis is one of the fattest cities in the nation. We get that title virtually every year. You told me you want to come back to Memphis; you want to get some Memphians on this diet. Tell us about that, is it a challenge? Like a Memphis fit challenge?
Yes, let's call it that. So this is what we are going to do, we are going to challenge Memphis to go on the Shred Diet. It's a 6 week cycle program, so I will come back in 6 weeks on air. Bring some Memphians who have lost some weight and had some great experience. If you want to come on the challenge, just go to our Facebook page Shredder Nation or Tweet me @doctoriansmith. But get the Shred Diet book and Tweet us or myfoxmemphis and we will get you on the station. We will have people come on and talk about the success of a lot of Memphians.
You want people to take before and after pictures too?
That would be a lot of fun. I want this to be interactive. Remember, people who lose the most weight and
keep it off the longest is those who have the support system. So the more Memphians that we can get to get
on the Shred Challenge, we'll come back.
Hey, maybe you can be our captain!

Recipe Reviews
French 75: I'm still just so "meh" to sparkling wine that not even boozing it up helps. Maybe I need to try a different wine? Nah, I'll just stick to a bounty of other fall cocktails.
Sweet Potato Biscuits: Fantastic. Orangette just does not fail. I rolled the dough a little thin, so the biscuits weren't the tall and flaky, but the taste was there. An easy fix for next time. These did not have a heavy sweet potato flavor, if you're not that big a fan.
Cream Biscuits: I was going to make these because I didn't think I had enough sweet potato puree to make a double batch of the above biscuits. But I did have enough puree, so these weren't made. Yet. They will be, I assure you.
Mashed Potatoes: Creamy, yummy potatoes. However, I usually make my mashed potatoes with sour cream. This recipe called for cream cheese instead, which to me worry it'd be too bland in comparison. And it turned out to be so. Without the sour cream, it lacked a little zing. I think I'd either stick with the sour cream or do half sour cream, half cream cheese.
Salted not Brined: I think this worked out well. I say "I think" because I wasn't as mindful as I should have been, and I left the bird on a tad too long. It wasn't dry, but it wasn't moist. But it was did have more turkey flavor than brined birds. A closer eye on the thermometer and I'd have had a winner.
This Year's Recipes
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times to try out new recipes. Here the ones I'm giving a spin this year.
- Cocktail: French 75
- Bread: Orangette's Cream Biscuits and Sweet Potato Biscuits
- Taters: Pioneer Woman's Delicious, Creamy Mashed Potatoes
- Bird: Salted instead of brined, smoked on the grill (natch)
When I come out of my food coma, I'll try and write some reviews of how they turned out.
Did you make something fun this turkey day?
The Food Lab: The Truth About Brining Turkey
I have to admit, I'd been a big brining advocate for several years now. This article made me think twice.
For the tl;dr crowd, the author suggests just salting your bird instead. This keeps it moist without watering down the meat.
Use kosher salt. Salt your meat liberally (it should look like a light snowfall on the bird). Place the bird on a plate in the fridge overnight and loosely cover it with plastic or cheesecloth. Rinse if desired to remove excess surface salt (I skip this step because I like salty skin). Pat dry. Roast as desired. For even better results, carefully separate the skin from the breast and thighs and rub the salt directly on the meat, under the skin.
This is what we were told NOT to eat during our diabetes lecture... yet it sounds oddly delicious.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - One of the most advanced new forms of cancer treatment is now being offered in Tennessee.
Proton therapy is only available in a handful of cities, but just this week, Tennessee's first and only proton therapy treatment facility opened to patients in Knoxville.
The Provision Center for Proton Therapy is the first in the state and one of only 14 in the United States.
The center opened on Monday, and doctors are already treating dozens of patients.
Proton therapy uses a single beam of high-energy protons to treat cancer, and unlike traditional radiation, which can damage healthy tissue, proton therapy can be focused directly on the cancer.
"Proton therapy has the advantage that we can selectively deposit the radiation dose on the cancer, in many cases giving a higher dose, a more curative dose, and at the same time, reducing exposure to normal tissue, so we can minimize side effects," said Provision Center for Proton Therapy Medical Director Dr. Marcio Fagundes.
The course of treatment is shorter, with patients receiving painless 20 minute treatments five days a week.
"In patients with prostate cancer, it only takes four weeks, as opposed to eight to nine weeks with conventional treatments," said Fagundes.
Before the center opened this week, local cancer patients like Tom Bomkamp of Knoxville had to travel hundreds of miles away to the next closest proton therapy center.
"It's a very small beam and it goes right to the cancer and zaps it," said Bomkamp.
Bomkamp, diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 2011, says the treatment has saved his life.
"I'm alive and well, and 99 percent cancer free," said Bomkamp.
Now this revolutionary cancer fighting tool is right here at home.
"This is so beautiful that it's here in our backyard now," said Bomkamp.
"Having proton therapy gives us the best tool to accomplish our goal," said Fagundes.
The Provision Center for Proton Therapy is currently only treating prostate cancer patients.
In the next few months, they will begin treating those with other types of cancer, including breast and lung.
The center currently has only one treatment room in use, but by the end of the year will have three, allowing them to treat more than 900 patients annually.

On Friday, a coalition of immigrant rights and Occupy activists temporarily shut down two branches of Wells Fargo Bank in Santa Rosa and distributed a flyer charging that Wells Fargo profits from the private prison business now booming on increased immigrant detention.

On Dia de Reyes, the Day the Three Kings, a false king was exposed. Wells Fargo is the king of private prison finance, heavily invested in two private prison corporations, Corrections Corporation of America and the GEO Group, which own a majority of the detention centers that house undocumented immigrants across the U.S.

According to every feminist's favorite whipping-girl of women's magazines, Cosmo, women who play videogames have sex an average four times a week where women who don't only have sex an average of three times a week. I think by "women," however, they mean women who date men who are gamers. Because, you know, all women date men and all men play videogames. Now if only my man were a gamer, because my ignoring him for the Xbox doesn't really facilitate any romantic encounters.
The magazine scan is via GamePro, who says this is a positive blurb for gaming Cosmo is always ragging on gamers guys for being terrible boyfriends. I started flashing back to my college days and how obnoxious the gamer guys were in my dorms, binging on WoW all night or yelling about raping other players in Super Smash Brothers, and would hate to date one of those guys, too.
Author AJ Glasser does make a good point, however:
As of 2009, Cosmopolitan has circulation of 2.9 million (combined subscriptions and newsstand sales) in North America alone. If the mag picks up on video games as a good thing for women, the rate of women picking up video games as a hobby will also probably increase. In short, keep an eye on Cosmo. It could be the backdoor to a whole new audience of female gamer.
More women playing games and all, but I'd hate to see what kind of game is targeted towards the popular-idea of who a Cosmo reader is and what she interested in.

I think George Lucas is a good guy in a notoriously unscrupulous business, trying to do the right thing. Hiring a Black director and writer was the right thing. However, the bottom line is we must build our own studios, networks and social media companies and bring our own money back to our communities now.
