Third Quarter 2003 ING Gazelle Index Results Reveal African-American CEOs are Cautiously Optimistic About Business Activity This Holiday Season
As the holiday season approaches and businesses prepare for the busiest shopping time of the year, the third quarter 2003 ING Gazelle Index, conducted by Atlanta-based Boston Research Group, found that African-American CEOs are cautiously optimistic about how their businesses will fare this holiday season. The ING Gazelle Index is a national quarterly survey of 350 CEOs of the nation's fastest growing African-American-owned businesses with 10-100 employees. The Index reflects the opinions of African-American business owners regarding current and expected business activity and their outlook on the U.S. economy.
This quarter, when asked about their business expectations for the coming holiday season:
- 6.9% of Gazelle CEOs expect business activity will be significantly better than it was last year
- 24.9% expect only slightly better
- 46.6% expect no change
- 19.4% expect activity to be worse than last season.
"It is interesting to see that leading African-American business owners are cautiously optimistic given that economic expansion significantly improved in the third quarter. The next few weeks are a critical time for many businesses," said Carolyn Harris-Burney, vice president of African American Markets for ING Financial Advisers.
Hiring Plans
In addition to holiday expectations, Gazelle CEOs were asked about future hiring plans. In early November, the U.S. Labor Department announced that in October, companies added 126,000 jobs to their payrolls, dropping the unemployment rate to 6.0% from 6.1% the previous month. The Gazelle Index found that 50.6% of Gazelle CEOs expect to increase hiring over the next three months – a value that indicates that African- American CEOs are more positive than negative about future hiring. This is up from 48.3% in the second quarter and is the first time this year that a majority of CEOs have expressed plans to increase future hiring.
The overall economy took a significant upward swing during the third quarter. In October 2003, the U.S. Department of Commerce revealed that the economy grew by 7.2% during the quarter, which more than doubled the second quarter percentage. The third quarter Gazelle Index value for economic confidence was 55.1, an increase over the 52.8 second quarter 2003 value and the highest value reached by the index since the second quarter 2002 value of 67.7.
President's Spending Package
Also during the third quarter, President George W. Bush was successful in getting an $87 billion spending package through Congress to support the war effort in Iraq and homeland security. Nationally, when asked about their support for the President's request, 66% of Gazelle CEOs were not supportive of this measure while 24.3% did support the spending package. The Gazelle Index also found that while almost 16% of Gazelle CEOs believe the President has properly managed the economy, more than 71% feel that he does not have the economy on the right track.
Conference Board Comparison
Since the fourth quarter of 2002, the overall index values for both the ING Gazelle Index and the Conference Board Index (a leading tool used to gauge the opinions of 100 CEOs of the nation's largest corporations), have followed the same pattern. When compared to the ING Gazelle Index, the Conference Board Index, increased in value from 60 during the second quarter to 67 in the third quarter (the Gazelle Index increased from 52.8 to 55.1 during the same period). In addition to registering increases in overall economic confidence, both indices moved in the same direction for two of the four subcomponents that are identical: 1.) CEOs perceptions of current economic conditions today versus six months ago, and 2.) optimism six months into the future.
"During the last quarter, economic growth, confidence, and hiring trends had significant increases – all trends that the ING Gazelle Index has predicted over the last three quarters," said Harris-Burney. "The similarities between the Gazelle Index and the Conference Board Index results are really no surprise given that the smaller businesses are generally more nimble and can respond more quickly to economic change than larger businesses."
The ING Gazelle Index serves as a guide and forecasting instrument to companies, potential investors, policy makers and consumers in making informed decisions about the timing of capital investments, strategic planning and overall business development. Third quarter 2003 findings indicate that Gazelle business leaders are more positive than negative about their current and future business outlook.
Gazelle Index Components
The renewed, yet careful optimism of the Gazelle CEOs is reflected in the fact that two of the four indicators comprising the Index were in the positive range while two indicators (questions 1. regarding economic conditions six months ago and question 4. regarding hiring today versus six months ago) remained in the negative range.
The ING Gazelle Index is derived from averaging four responses, positive and negative, to questions about the business activity and confidence of African-American business owners. The ING Gazelle Index derives those four measures by asking the following questions:
1. In your opinion are economic conditions better today than six months ago?
- the third quarter 2003, 29.7% of Gazelle CEOs indicated that conditions were better in comparison to the 21.4% from the first quarter. While this component of the Index is still more negative than positive (a value of 47.4), it is up from last quarter (34.9).
2. In looking six months into the future, are you more optimistic or more pessimistic about the economy?
- about the economy six months into the future increased to a rating of 69.0 up from 65.6 from the second quarter of 2003.
3. Is business activity in your company better today than six months ago?
- of 100, the Index measures 61.7, up from 58.9 in the second quarter of 2003. Exactly 34% of the Gazelle CEOs indicated that their business was doing better today than six months ago.
4. As compared to six months ago, has employment in your company increased, decreased or remained the same?
- of 100, the third quarter Gazelle Index value for employment was 42.2, down from 51.8 the previous quarter.
According to the Economic Census data, there are more than 880,000 African-American business owners in the United States, up 46% over a 5-year period. Majority-owned firms have grown only 24% during the same timeframe.

A number of programs help prevent foreclosure
By Daniel Gutierrez. CREATED Mar 27, 2013
Some federal programs have improved their efforts to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
The Home Affordable Modification Program has been extended through 2013. Part of the program now offers an option for anyone who wants to modify their loan for a second home or rental property.
Another option is the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative, which helps with loans not backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. It provides options for transitioning to more affordable housing, or a short sale.
To get in touch with the Independent Foreclosure Review Alternative Settlement, call 888-952-9105.

The May 13th main event and SuperFight Championship will showcase Singapore`s very own MMA sensation - Mitch "The Dragon" Chilson. "The Dragon" brings a string of 16 international wins and has earned a reputation at a talented fight tactician. He will be facing Taiwanese undisputed and reigning three-year Sanda Champion (since 2008) Zhang Jing Xong.
Also competing in the May 13 card is Neo Fight Korea's Dooje Chung (Doo Jae Jung), as he faces the only American in the card, David Gardner, who is more known for his "Hello Japan" antics on his bout against Shinya Aoki. Undefeated URCC Flyweight Champion and wushu expert, Kevin Belingon will also be participating, as he is matched up against Ngoo Ditty, of the famed Tiger Muay Thai camp.

In the US, using your mobile phone as a hot spot is a service you must pay for through your provider (AT&T or T-Mobile). Download "SpotOn" from the store. It allows hot spot to work without paying for it through your provider.

UPDATE: Yes, it's official. Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" will hit theaters December 25, as we expected would be the case when Paramount announced it would push back its Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan reboot "Shadow Recruit" to President's Day weekend in 2014.
Per THR, Scorsese's original cut of the film, adapted from former stockbroker party boy Jordan Belfort's bestselling novel, clocked in at 180 minutes. Thus Paramount had to do away with the film's original November 15 release to give the director time to trim it down. It's now 165 minutes.
EARLIER: As various films move in and out of this season's awards lineup, George Clooney's "The Monuments Men" has been given a release date: February 7, 2014. Meanwhile, David O. Russell's "American Hustle" has been moved forward by a week, to a limited release on December 13, and a wide release December 18.
EARLIER: Every year the film festivals serve as a litmus test of which films have the right stuff to go the Oscar distance. Falling out of the awards fray early on, in typical Weinstein survival-of-the-fittest fashion, was Cannes entry "The Immigrants," James Gray's monotonous period drama, as well as yet unseen Nicole Kidman vehicle "Grace of Monaco." Soon to follow was Bennett Miller's true wrestling murder drama "Foxcatcher," from Sony Pictures Classics, which needed more finishing time. And after early word from various reps that George Clooney's "The Monuments Men" was not chasing Oscars, we now find out that there was a question of meeting the release deadline all along. Clooney told the LA Times the postponement to 2014 was about not going out with "cheesy" visual effects. That's unlikely the only reason.
Sony motion picture chairman Amy Pascal is invested, right now, after a rocky year at the box office, in delivering at least one home run at the holidays. Better to give Clooney the time to massage his movie into commercial perfection than to go out half-cocked---especially if the Oscars weren't an end-goal. This is equivalent to Paramount giving Martin Scorsese more time to burnish his Dennis Lehane adaptation "Shutter Island," which moved from late 2009 to early 2010, with positive results.
Thus Sony's big year-end Oscar play is David O. Russell's 70s comedy-drama "American Hustle" (December 13), which is financed, like last year's "Zero Dark Thirty," by Megan Ellison's Annapurna. The fictional ABSCAM scandal story stars "The Fighter"'s Christian Bale and Amy Adams and "Silver Lining Playbook"'s Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Russell, per usual, is previewing the picture to gauge audience reaction as he fine-tunes the edit. Sony also boasts strong Oscar contender "Captain Phillips," which is both a critical and audience hit.
Meanwhile Paramount was supposed to open Scorsese's based-on-a-true-80s-story "The Wolf of Wall Street," adapted from Jordan Belfort's memoir, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey, on November 15. Scorsese and his editor Thelma Schoonmaker have been scrambling to get the film under three hours. It looks like it will hit screens on Christmas Day, as Paramount has pushed back to President's Day weekend 2014 the Tom Clancy reboot "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," which the studio had never intended as an awards contender.
But both "Wall Street" and "Hustle" boast a similar broad comedic tone and look back at an earlier American era, much the way "Argo" did last year. Is there room in the competitive Oscar race for both? The thinner field could open things up for other late entries, among them Scott Cooper's "Out of the Furnace" (December 6) also starring Bale, which Relativity chose not to take to the major fall festivals, but will debut at LA's AFI FEST, along with Peter Berg's war drama "Lone Survivor," starring Mark Wahlberg, which starts industry screenings next week in advance of Universal's December 27 qualifying run.
Edward Copeland | October 24, 2013 3:19 PM
I don't know why everyone frets so about Scorsese pushing back a release for tinkering. This pretty much follows the course of his career and you can't prejudge what it means about the film itself. He pushed off The Age of Innocence an entire year because he wasn't done fiddling with it and it turned out to be one of the very best films of his career. They did the same thing with Gangs of New York which, while good, wasn't in the top tier of the Scorsese canon. Too much of an emphasis gets placed on what it means in the scheme of things relating to that glorified opinion poll known more commonly as the Oscars. Let Marty and Thelma do their thing and release The Wolf of Wall Street when they believe they've made it as good and tight as they can. I just hope it turns out that I agree with their assessment when I see it.

As I'm European, I can add that J. Gray is the American director who's style of vision and directing is the most similar to European film style. I'm from Poland, and there are a lot of movies fans who adore and like movies by J. Gray.
thedudeabides | October 24, 2013 5:29 AM
Note of advice: When writing an article, as opposed to a review, try not impose your opinion about the film. Especially if it's a film not relevant to the article. By this I am referring to the line 'James Gray's monotonous period drama'. American critics never fully grasped Gray's films, as a European I can say that he is quite possibly the one of the most exciting American directors around.

"Danger, Will Robinson! Danger, Will Robinson!"
That is the famous cry of 'Robby, the Robot' as he warned the young Will Robinson of danger in an episode of "Lost in Space". (The show was actually before my time but I have seen it a few times on lazy Saturday afternoons.)
It's a cry that's appropriate for this blog. Only, I would change it to: "Danger, old pipes! Danger, old pipes!" OK, it's not quite as catchy as the other one but it is actual fact not science fiction. If your pipes are old and haven't been maintained or repaired, they could cause some serious damage.
Old pipes freeze, leak and burst causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. You might leave for work in the morning with your house intact and then return home in the evening to your bottom floor flooded with sewage or your top floor carpeting drenched.
Pipes are like any other item in your house, they need to be checked on occasionally. You may find them in bad shape or good shape. Regardless, I have a few ideas for you about those hidden but oh-so-important pipes that assist all of your plumbing in doing its job.
First, you need to find out a few items about your pipes:
Then, once you have answered those questions you may want to examine your pipes on your own or have a licensed plumber do it for you. Here a few signs of old and deteriorating pipes:
Your licensed plumber will then do the following:
Then, it's not quite so complicated after that. If your pipes are a mess and no matter of repairs could adequately resolve the issue, then your licensed plumber would:
Something very important to keep in mind: Your plumber has to size the new drain lines. If they are undersized then your pipes will not drain correctly.
Old pipes are easy to replace but your belongings, especially the sentimental ones, are not. Call a licensed master plumber at American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing today at (610) 342-5842. We'll examine your pipes and eliminate that danger.
So often life's problems are caused by what we can't see.
From clogged arteries to a tire nail, whether we see them or not, eventually they could cause severe damage. However, if we discover them in time, they can be resolved with medication or repair and life can go on.
In my industry, it's what you can't see that can be so damaging. From leaks in dark corners to separations in underground pipes, these unseen hazards can remain undiscovered for years until the water heater explodes or the basement drains spout waste.
One of the reasons I write this blog is to fly a red flag (it has a wrench and a plunger on it) to warn you about potential hazards so you can do something about it. Yes, we plumbers want your business but we (the ethical ones) also want to save you money.
Today I'm planting that "red flag" next to your pressure-reducing valve. It's usually located near your main water shut-off.
The pressure-reducing valve has two main functions:
If your water-pressure valve is old or needs adjustment, you will probably see these signs:
When this occurs, your pressure valve will need to be adjusted or replaced.
Recently, a commercial customer's restaurant had the "mother of all restauranteur nightmares" when his patrons discovered that when they tried flushing the commodes in his establishment, they refused to flush. So, the bathrooms began to stink up with clogged commodes…well, you get the picture.
He called me at American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing. I ran over, installed a new pressure-reducing valve replacing the one that was around since Ben Franklin was a baby and flushed the commodes. Problem solved and the patrons returned. Restaurant business saved.
Another customer called me about quite the opposite: Water was blasting out of her faucets like Philly's Ladder Company 30 responding to a three-alarm fire. It was over 100 psi and splattering all over the place.
When I arrived, I found that the pressure-reducing valve was very old and no longer even functioning. I replaced it with a new pressure-reducing valve and holding her hands under the faucets was safe again.
Adjusting most pressure-reducing valves, however, is a rarity. Most are too old and no longer reducing any water pressure. You find out, unfortunately, when you, like my customer, turn on the faucet and your hands are almost blown off.
The best step to take is to call a licensed plumber to check it. We check the water pressure from your faucets and shower heads. (Sometimes heavy water pressure or dipping faucets are incorrectly diagnosed as the faucet needing a new washer.) Then, run a test on it and check the psi.
Then, based on the test, appearance or age, we can tell if it just needs adjustment or replacement. It's really that simple.
So, just like clogged arteries or tire nails, old or maladjusted water pressure-reducing valves can be hazardous or cause more damage unless they're caught early. When you notice the signs, call a licensed plumber with American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing at (610) 342-6852. We serve Phoenixville, Evansburg, Plymouth Valley, Ambler, Exton and the surrounding counties. Check out our website at www.americandraincleaningandplumbing.com and take the pressure off!
Would you put a new patch on an old, beaten-up and ripped pair of blue jeans?
Would you paint a rickety, old AMC Pacer but not repair the slipping transmission and bad rotors?
Finally, would you keep a decade-old water heater that is leaking and barely running?
Unfortunately, even though most sane people would throw the ripped jeans away and tow the dead car to the junkyard, they will keep the musty, dusty water heater until it breaks down, or worse, could burst and possibly cause thousands of dollars in water damage. There's a simple way to avoid that and keep your water heated without any delay. (I mean who really wants to take a cold shower? I didn't think so.)
First, let's talk about your water heater. There are two types of water heaters:
A typical water heater lasts for about ten to twelve (10-12) years. After that time, it begins to break down and needs to be replaced.
You can examine your water heater and see the tell-tale signs of deterioration:
When you see any of the above, it's time to replace your water heater. It's ten-year life is coming to an end and, just like the junk car and the holey jeans, you need to ditch this tin can quick.
Why quickly? Well, the continued use of a deteriorating water heater could be disastrous. I have received calls from frantic and bewildered customers telling me that their water heater just exploded. Yes, you heard me right. It exploded like the villain's car in a James Bond movie. It was ugly and cost them thousands of dollars in home repairs, not to mention a new water heater.
So, pick up the flashlight and open the closet door or walk downstairs to your basement, wipe away the layer of dust and check the manufacturer's date on your water heater. There are several ways to find the date:
I prefer Rheem or Bradford White water heaters. They are quality products and carry a six (6) year warranty. Most plumbers can replace your water heater in about five (5) hours or less.
Bottom line: Water heaters, like blue jeans and AMC Pacers, don't last forever. Examine yours today and replace it (if needed) before you have to replace everything around it, too.
Call a licensed plumber at American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing (610) 342-6852 or check out our website at www.americandraincleaningandplumbing.com and have us take a look at your water heater today. We serve Phoenixville, Royersford, Ardmore, Flourtown, Schwenksville and the surrounding counties.
We've all been told that no matter how healthy you may be, you should still see your doctor at least once every year or two for a checkup.
After all, that nagging cough or those persistent headaches could turn out to be something serious. However, if you treat it early enough you may be able to save yourself a lot of pain and money. A little preventative maintenance for our health is a good practice to have.
Well, the same goes for the plumbing system in your home or business. A leak here or a crack there may just be annoying but, over time, could end up costing you big time. If only you had called your friendly neighborhood plumber, that persistent leak would have been repaired and the gusher of money flowing from your checking account to pay for all of the ensuing repairs would have been averted.
Just look around and you will see that your residence or storefront has a lot of potential hazards:
As you can see, any one of these, by itself, could turn into a major problem. You let it go and it could deteriorate into a major malfunction needing a major repair.
Even worse, a combination of these plumbing issues could be a huge financial setback for the home or business owner. No one wants to drop thousands of dollars of repairs on something that can easily be avoided with a little prevention.
That's why you should call your licensed plumber and have them do a "Plumbing Checkup". This checkup, which should be quite thorough and detailed, includes the following:
Once the licensed plumber has completed their checkup, they can recommend any repairs or replacements. Some may be basic repairs you might even be able to do yourself while others may be complicated and require the deft hands and experience of a plumbing professional.
Whether simple or complicated, a little preventative maintenance of your plumbing system, just like your physical health, is a smart thing to do. So, call "Doctor Plumber" and have your system examined closely so you can have a clean bill of plumbing health.
Call a licensed plumber at American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing (610) 342-6852 or check out our website at www.americandraincleaningandplumbing.com and have us give your plumbing a thorough checkup. We serve Phoenixville, Blue Bell, Frazer, Skippack, Boyertown, Gilbertsville and the surrounding counties.
"Bait and switch".
It's an old method of doing business and it has a long, long history-all the way back to the Garden of Eden, in fact. Eat the fruit, Eve, and you'll know everything. You shall not surely die.
Well, we know how that one turned out.
We've all experienced it. Someone promises you a dream that quickly turns out to be a nightmare.
That dream "bait" could be wrapped in a "special price" and the nightmare could end in a "switch" costing you hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars.
But, let me tell you, it's one that occurs all too often in the Phoenixville (Pennsylvania) area. A local plumbing company "baits" you with a "special offer" for drain cleaning. While they're cleaning it, unexpected plumbing issues are "discovered" and the drain line has to be "replaced" along with other costly add-ons.
Before you know it, the "switch" has occurred and you're left with a huge bill and a new plumbing line and other services that you never wanted or needed. Even if the company went so far as to "replace" the supposedly bad drain line you still may end up paying for services that were never even rendered.
The "special price" has gradually ballooned into a gigantic repair leaving the customer with a depleted bank account and wondering "What just happened here?"
I'm telling you that no matter who you hire to do your plumbing, that it doesn't have to be this way.
Ask yourself this question: Do you really believe that a licensed plumber will spend several hours working on your drain line for only $99 and not find something else to 'repair'? I can guarantee that they will find much more that supposedly "needs to be done" to your drain line and plumbing that will bust whatever budget you had planned for it.
Long before the subject of a new drain line ever comes up, all available options need to be explored. Any plumber worth their salt should do the following first:
Once the plumber has completed the above actions, then a new line may have to be installed. But, that is such a radical and expensive repair that it should only, I repeat only, be a last resort for any reputable licensed plumber.
Look, economic times are still tough. No licensed plumber should ever sell you something you don't need just to increase their volume. It's unethical and as they used to say when I was a kid: It's highway robbery. Don't get baited into expensive repairs with some cheap special up front. Get only the plumbing repairs that you really need, no matter who may be doing it.
After all there's nothing "special" about being robbed.
Call a licensed plumber at American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing (610) 342-6852 or check out our website at www.americandraincleaningandplumbing.com and have us take a thorough look at your lines. ADCP serves Phoenixville, Soudertown, Bridgeport, Harleysville, Spring City and the surrounding counties.
Is your outdoor plumbing ready for another rough Northeastern winter?
A good place to start is somewhere you wouldn't normally think about: your outdoor faucets. Will you be using them during the winter months? I'm sure most of you would say "no" without hesitation. You won't be washing your car, house, deck or driveway and you surely won't be watering your lawn, either.
In fact, as most of us Pennsylvanians know, you may not even see your lawn, deck or driveway as snow and ice will be covering them from late December all the way to mid-April. They will be the last thing on your mind other than scraping snow off of them.
You've got to be ready. My first piece of advice: turn off the hose bibs and replace them, if needed.
Your hose bibs are located on your outside walls. You connect your water hose to it before turning on the faucet. Water can freeze inside the bibs, stretching your pipes and causing them to burst.
So, to avoid several hundred dollars worth of water damage and a visit from your insurance claim rep, I recommend that you take the following steps to prevent unnecessary expenses from your pipe bursting:
Unfortunately, I've seen many hose bibs that have reached the point of no return because the inside valve to a hose bib that was neither shut off nor drained. This ultimately resulted in a burst hose bib and pipe causing a major leak which rendered them useless. If the valve is not shut off and the hose bib has not drained out for the winter it will burst. You can count on it.
You can prevent that from occurring simply by calling a licensed plumber from American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing who can replace your old hose bibs with one of the following versions:
So, call a licensed plumber at American Drain Cleaning and Plumbing at (610) 342-6852 FREE or check out our website at www.americandraincleaningandplumbing.com and let us winterize or replace your hose bibs. Then, when spring arrives, turn them on and let the water flow!

Lets be honest, the Texas Tech Red Raiders didn't perform as well as we would have liked on Saturday. Defensively, they were awesome, but offensively, they have a lot to improve on. They can't get a running game started to save their lives, and the quarterback play has been less than impressive.
I'll be completely honest with you. I'm not a big Davis Webb fan. I would have loved for Baker Mayfield to grab this quarterback job by the horns and run with it. But that hasn't exactly been the story. I do believe Mayfield will be the starter until Michael Brewer gets back, but I'm not sure how long that will be. More importantly, I'm not sure how much longer Tech can survive with quarterback play that is less than impressive.
For me, and I'm sure I'm not alone, the game on Saturday wasn't easy or fun to watch. I kept waiting for Tech to hit their stride offensively, but they just didn't. It was frustrating. I'll be honest with you guys, and gals. I think Tech can hang with anyone in the Big XII. Sure, I'm bias, but I believe Tech hasn't hit their stride yet, and when they do, all hell will break loose. Maybe they never get it going and continue to have struggles from the quarterback standpoint, or maybe, Mayfield, Webb, or Brewer (IF HE EVER GETS HEALTHY!) will lead the Red Raiders to some hard fought wins against the beef of the Big XII, all while showing that Texas Tech shouldn't be taken lightly. Who knows?
One thing about the immediate future of the Red Raiders is certain. The bye week couldn't have come at a better time for Texas Tech.
I fully believe that Coach Kingsbury and company will the Red Raiders ready for Iowa State and we will finally see Texas Tech become more of a complete football team. The truth is, the offensive has to get going to keep pace with some of the prolific offenses in the Big XII. The big thing for the offense is to get whoever plays quarterback on a roll. If Webb or Mayfield throw three interceptions against a good offense, I'm not sure the defense will be able to keep the opposing team(s) out of the end-zone. Quarterback play is key during this bye week. The sooner Tech gets Brewer back, the better.

Republicans presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann championed her vote against raising the debt limit in her third television advertisement.
The ad, entitled "Believe It," began airing statewide in Iowa on Wednesday.
"Back in Washington, politicians are looting the treasury and bankrupting our nation," Bachmann says in her 30-second spot.
"And Barack Obama has driven our economy into a ditch. Someone needs to say 'no.' I voted against raising the debt limit because it's time to balance the budget and pay down the debt."
President Barack Obama signed an agreement into law, called the the Budget Control Act of 2011, on Tuesday that would raised the debt ceiling until 2013 and cut the federal deficit by about $2.1 trillion over a 10-year period. The two-stage agreement, which was criticized by both tea party lawmakers and progressive Democrats, passed by a vote of 269 to 161 in the House and a vote of 74 to 26 in the Senate.
Bachmann also urged Iowans to vote for her in the upcoming Ames Straw Poll. The outcome of the poll is used to judge a campaign's ability to organize and mobilize its supporters, and often shapes the presidential race.

The Education Department's annual student-teacher dinner salutes the partners who
support R-MC's efforts to prepare qualified educators.
On February 19, 2013, the Randolph-Macon College Education
Department hosted its annual student-teacher dinner in Estes Dining Hall
to salute the partners who support R-MC's efforts to prepare qualified educators.
These vital partners include: Hanover County Public Schools' mentoring teachers
and HCPS administrators, R-MC education faculty, the Teacher Preparation Committee
members (which includes R-MC faculty members and HCPS school board administrators),
college administrators, and tutorial faculty.
The guest speaker, Brennan Sigel, a social studies teacher at Atlee High School
and Hanover County Public Schools' 2013 Teacher of the Year, said that the key to
success as a classroom teacher is to build positive relationships with students,
parents and colleagues.
"Our students were inspired with Ms. Sigel's dedication and passion and are committed
to becoming caring educators," says R-MC's Director of Teacher Preparation and Educational
Outreach Leslie Roberson. "They're also inspired by alumni connections: Two cooperating
teachers for our student teachers are R-MC alumnae: Erin Attkisson Cobb '04
is a history teacher at Lee-Davis High School and Jackie Wilson Fitzgerald '07
is a Latin teacher at Hanover High School. Both completed their majors and education
minors at R-MC and both were inducted into the R-MC Phi Beta Kappa chapter. In addition,
R-MC Education Professor Michael Mudd '97, who serves as principal
of South Anna Elementary School, is a wonderful role model for our education students."
In all there are eight student-teachers and HCPS placements: Aliya Headley '13
(French major) is placed at Hanover High School;
Kerra Lundgren '13 (Latin
major) is placed at Hanover High School; Murphy Protzman '13 (French
major) is placed at Liberty Middle School and Atlee High; Tyler Kane '13
(history major) is placed at Oak Knoll Middle
School; Nick Lapres '13 (history major) is placed at Oak Knoll
Middle School; Hillary Sherbert '13 (history major) is placed at
Lee Davis High School; Brian Sommer '13 (English
major) is placed at Liberty Middle School; and Tricia Wayland '13
(communication studies major)
is placed at South Anna Elementary School.

First time I've heard, Braves interested/scouting "The Clipper"
Tyler Clippard is an interesting name that has come up, as of late. I wouldn't mind seeing Clippard in a Braves uni. He's an innings eater, unorthodox, and just (for some odd reason) reminds me of the pitching version of Hunter Pence. It would possibly take quite a bit, and with Adams almost seemingly off the market (either due to cost or lack of availability) Clipp seems to be one of the best/if not the best releif pitchers available.

Ancient Philosophy
At Stanford the departments of Philosophy and Classics cooperate to offer a joint program in Ancient Philosophy at both graduate and undergraduate levels. The graduate program is designed to provide students with the training and specialist skills and knowledge needed for research and teaching in ancient philosophy while producing scholars who are fully trained as either philosophers (with a strong specialization in ancient languages and philology) or classicists (with a concentration philosophy). The program is jointly administered by the Departments of Classics and Philosophy and is overseen by a joint committee composed of members of both departments.
Admission in the Joint Program in Ancient Phiosophy
Students are admitted to the program by either department. Graduate students admitted by the Philosophy Department will receive their Ph.D. from the Philosophy Department. Graduate students admitted by the Classics Department will receive their Ph.D. from the Classics Department. For Philosophy graduate students, this program will provide training in classical languages, literature, culture, and history. For Classics graduate students, this program will provide training in the history of philosophy and in contemporary philosophy. Each student in the program will be advised by a committee consisting of one Professor in each department.
Requirements for Philosophy Graduate Students
These remain the same as the Proficiency Requirements for the Ph.D. in Philosophy with the following exceptions:
- The student is exempted from the breadth requirement, and
- If the student has already taken two courses in modern philosophy, she need not take a course in modern philosophy to satisfy requirement 1 (a) (2).
One year of Greek is a requirement for admission to the program. If students have had a year of Latin, they are required to take 3 courses in 2nd or 3rd year Greek or Latin (at least one of which must be in Latin). If they have not had a year of Latin, they are then required to (a) complete a year of Latin, and (b) take 2 courses in 2nd or 3rd year Greek or Latin. Students are also required to take at least 3 courses in Ancient Philosophy at the 200 level or above (one of which must be in the Classics department and two of which must be in the Philosophy department).
Requirements for Classics Graduate Students
Students must fulfill all the requirements for the Graduate Program in Classics. Students will also be required to take three courses in the Philosophy Department at the 200 level or higher (including 100/200). These must include: 1 course in Logic--this can be satisfied by a logic course at any level, not just 200 level or higher, 1 course in Aesthetics, Ethics or Political Philosophy, 1 course in Metaphysics, Epistemology, Philosophy of Mind, or Philosophy of Science. Students are also required to take at least 3 courses in Ancient Philosophy at the 200 level or above (one of which must be in the Philosophy Department). Students must choose Ancient Philosophy as one of the four Areas on the General Exam. This adds 4 courses in the Philosophy Department to our Ph.D. requirements. In order to allow students to fit these into their curriculum, all of the courses taken in the Philosophy Department will count for seminar credit (i.e. as contributing to the 12-seminar requirement in the Ph.D. program in Classics).

Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said that what Microsoft needs more than a unified OS is a unified development environment, which he expects will emerge in the next 18 months. "A unified Windows OS risks being a light PC OS and too heavy for phones," he said.
Rob Enderle, an analyst at Enderle Group, said that with software virtualization, Microsoft potentially doesn't have to create a "one-size-fits all" OS. However, he said Microsoft seems to be on a path over the next five years of using an embedded core for all platforms where developers would add user interfaces that work best for a certain screen size.

Whether Microsoft's operating systems fully come together was the subject of some debate among four developers who were interviewed separately by phone and email. However, all four support a fuller common development environment across all the platforms.
James Vertisan, CEO of Vertisan Inc., a maker of golf-related apps, said it is "imperative to merge" Windows, Windows RT and Windows Phone, and he commended Microsoft for already offering a shared code base between the OSs.
He estimated about 75 percent of the source code is already in common. "There are things we can't re-use across platforms, such as the layout of a particular view, but everything else that lives beneath is synonymous," Vertisan said. A phone is primarily navigated vertically and displayed at 800 x 600 pixels, while a tablet, displayed at 1366 x 768, is navigated primarily horizontally.
Vertisan makes the Shotly golf app for Windows Phone 7 and 8 and iOS, and is about to release a social networking app for golfers called Golfly, which is being showcased on Windows 8 devices. It will allow users with a tablet to remotely follow someone playing golf, picking up their inputs on shots from a smartphone running Shotly, with the ability to interact and send text messages, such as "Great shot!" Both Shotly and Golfly are free apps, although in-app purchasing and upgrades are available.
Vertisan sees a chance for Windows Phone and Windows tablets to grow in market share, partly because of the ease of development of apps. He said he and other developers have seen efficiencies in using Microsoft's C# and XAML programming languages in building apps for Windows.
"The base core of the OSs is coming together and that's a good thing to help speed to market of apps ... but to a certain extent the operating systems need to remain a little bit separate," added Atley Hunter, a developer of Windows Phone and Windows 8 apps.
"Moving Windows Phone to the full Windows kernel made a big difference in device management, security and hardware support, [which] allowed the development platform to grow closer together allowing increased code re-use," added Tom Verheoff, a partner for Methyllium, which recently built the Windows 8 hotel booking app for Booking.com.
"Really unifying the [three] platforms into one Windows development environment would be a big improvement for the developer experience. Windows Phone 8 already allows reusing big parts of an app's codebase, but reusing even more would allow developers to save time and money," Verheoff said.
Creating a single, unified development environment for all the OSs "should definitely be a high priority" for Microsoft, Verhoeff added. Doing so would "make the life of every developer on the platform a lot easier and grow the addressable user base."

I am a new found political prisoner within the grips of one of CCA's slave camps, Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility, here in Tutwiler, Mississippi. CCA, especially here at TCCF, has mastered the art of purchasing two slaves for the price of one – the two slaves being the inmate residents and the bottom rung correctional officers, providing cheap labor at minimum wage.

DeBray "Fly Benzo" Carpenter. He was busted on Oct. 18, 2011, by two of SFPD's finest, John Norment and Joshua Fry, for (gasp!) participating in a community organized rally while playing a boom box in Mendell Plaza in the heart of Bayview Hunters Point. For speaking out against police brutality, especially the SFPD murder of Kenneth Harding last July, he was brutally arrested, tried and now is barred from Mendell Plaza by order of Judge Jerome T.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Lawmakers are hoping to turn a tragedy into a teachable moment with the passage of the Jason Flatt Act.
The Act was created in honor of Joseph Anielski, the son of Ohio legislator Marlene Anielski, which now requires all Ohio school employees to undergo youth suicide awareness and prevention training."We must do something to help our youth who are suffering from this epidemic in silence. Empowering our dedicated professionals working with our children to recognize the signs and symptoms of students that may be at risk is an important step to stop this epidemic," says Ohio Representative Marlene Anielski.The Act, which is law in 12 states, was first introduced in Tennessee after the suicide death of 16 year-old Jason Flatt, whose father now runs The Jason Foundation."Every year since it became mandatory the state of Tennessee has seen declining rates in youth suicide and the past two years youth suicide rates have declined 28.3% in Tennessee," says Clark Flatt, president of The Jason Foundation.Ohio is hoping for the same results; they've partnered with The Jason Foundation to help educators identify kids who are at risk of taking their own lives."Everyone wants to help. Everyone wants to protect our kids, but what this bill does and what similar bills in other states are starting to do is it helps educate those people who are on the front lines," says Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine.
Schools have the option to either receive training materials free of charge from The Jason Foundation or implement another similar training program.

At first I really liked the program. I will also say that it helped me get back my workout routine with exercising 6 plus days a week. People did start to notice my body changes however the weight on the scale didn't change.
I didn't necessarily follow the eating program, but I was eating healthy. Keep in mind that the program is all cardio, and cardio doesn't shape your body. All cardio does is make your current body style smaller.
Why it didn't work for me
Weight loss-
Insanity didn't work for me in terms of weight loss. I was also losing a ton of muscle on the program so literally my body was getting smaller. I conducted my body fat percentage before and after the program and noticed a very small change. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong since I was burning 500-700 calories per workout and I saw that a ton of people got results from Insanity.
Didn't focus on the main problem for me-
My main problem with weight loss is overeating. Ever since I was a little girl I would emotionally eat under stress or depression. I was never taught what an ACTUAL portion should be.
Repetitive- Although I liked that it improved my consistency with working out, I didn't like the repetitiveness of the workout
Benefits of Insanity
Running- Insanity improved my overall cardiovascular rate. I was able to run faster and longer while doing the insanity routine.
Routine- Insanity provided me with a routine so I had no excuse to not get my workout done.After I was done with Insanity, I kept my workout routine and had motivation to workout 6-7 days per week.
Motivating- Shaun T. was very motivating through out the workouts which kept me focused.
What works for me-
I've also found with my recent 15 pound loss that fitness is very specific on the person. Personally, I do better when I do intuitive eating (only eating when I'm hungry). Compared to what everyone is saying what we should do and eat 5-6 small meals a day. This doesn't work for me and my digestive system. I also have a lot less inflammation in my body so my body is able to function better since I've cut out gluten and dairy for the most part. I still eat complexed carbs, but I'm very selective. I make sure when I eat it that it's worth it. Other than that I've focused on mostly protein, veggies and healthy fats. Also, you can over do it with fats. It's important that we focus on portion sizes.
Dalis Connell and Tone It Up- Karena & Katrina helped me focus on how important intuitive eating and portion sizes are. Even though Tone It Up agrees with eating 5-6 small meals a day…I just customize it to my needs. Remember, what works for someone else may not work for you.
Weights and HIIT have helped me shed the pounds.
Examples of a HIIT workout I do
walk for 1 min 30 seconds
sprint (and I mean sprint 7.0-9.0) for 30-40 seconds.
*I focus on how I'm feeling for the day, if I don't feel well generally I tone down my sprints)
Tone it up workouts-
With my body style, I gain muscle quickly. I don't necessarily like workout out with heavy weights because I get bulky. Personally I don't like that look on me so I like the long and lean muscle look and Tone it Up is perfect for that! I will also say that the Tone It Up community was a brilliant idea on Karena and Katrina's part. So motivating and keeps you in tact with your goals
This goes to show that yes, everyone is different. However it also shows that for me weights is a key to my weight loss routine. Also, I notice more changes with my body when I do something everyday compared to working out really hard 4 days a week.
*Once I complete my goal, I will show before and after photos. Not sure if I'm ready for that yet.

Residency Program in Radiation Oncology
The University of Chicago Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology offers a four year residency program in Radiation Oncology. The residency meets all the requirements of the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and is fully accredited by the American Medical Association's Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
The Department is accredited for a total of 12 positions with three openings available each year. Candidates begin at the PGY-2 level and proceed through the PGY-5 level. The program does not routinely offer PGY-1 (internship) positions. Candidates are thus responsible for applying for and completing an internship at an accredited hospital. Internships can be done in a variety of fields including Internal Medicine or Surgery. Transitional programs are also acceptable.
Structure of The program
Clinical Training
There are three clinical years of the program. PGY-2 residents begin residency with a four-week orientation course in Clinical Radiation Oncology, Radiation Physics, and Radiobiology. During the PGY-5 year, one or more residents are designated as Chief Resident(s) and participate in administrative and supervisory responsibilities. Residents are placed on a rotating on-call schedule and cover emergency consultations throughout the Medical Center under attending staff supervision.
The residency is a multi-institutional program and enjoys the combined resources of four medical centers in the metropolitan Chicago area: the University of Chicago Hospitals, the University of Illinois Hospitals, Sherman Hospital, and Silver Cross Hospital. The residents currently rotate at the University of Chicago Hospitals and the University of Illinois Hospitals. The faculty from the other satellite hospitals give resident lectures.
Residents and faculty work closely, in a one-on-one fashion on all clinical services. Residents are encouraged early on to take a leading role in the care of their patients. Weekly multidisciplinary conferences are held jointly with a number of departments including Hematology-Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Pediatric Oncology, Head and Neck Surgery, Neurosurgery, Gynecologic Oncology, Urology, Thoracic Surgery, Radiology, and Pathology.
Seminars and Conferences
An important focus of the program is resident education. One of the most important aspects of the educational program is the Departmental Morning Conference at which the residents prepare and present selected cases to the attending staff. The Monday Conference is run by Dr. Weichselbaum and the attending who treats the specific disease site being presented. Following an overview of the workup and diagnosis, the patient's management is discussed. The appropriate radiotherapeutic, chemotherapeutic and surgical literature is then critically reviewed. Lastly, the patient's radiation treatment plan is reviewed. The broad nature of the conference exemplifies the program's goal to train residents as "oncologists first and radiotherapists second."
The Tuesday Conference is run by the residents and each session focuses on a particular disease sub-site. Approximately once a month, invited lecturers from other departments speak to the residents to supplement their education. The residents also participate in boards-review sessions focused on the major sub-sites to prepare for the oral boards. The didactic schedule is organized around "disease months" ensuring coverage of all major tumor sites during the academic year.
Chart Rounds are held weekly to review the management of all the new and current patients. Residents present the patient's history summarizing the planned or on-going therapy at these conferences. Additionally, once a block a departmental Journal Club is held over dinner to discuss recent seminal articles.
Departmental research seminars are presented monthly by the attending staff, physicists, and radiobiologists. Topics range from review of issues in biology to presentations of a faculty member's current research. This seminar series fosters interaction and cooperation between the clinical and basic science faculty. The Department arranges periodic visits from noted Radiation Oncologists, Physicists and Biologists from outside the University. All visitors meet with the residents and present seminars to the department as a whole.
Rotations and research
A unique aspect of our program is that residents have the opportunity to spend a total of 8-12 weeks outside the department ("offsite rotations") during their final clinical year. Residents use this time to gain further experience in a variety of areas. These rotations have been arranged at centers throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. The department reimburses the residents for all living and transportation expenses. Residents are reimbursed annually for all expenses to attend national meetings at which they are presenting research. Senior residents are also reimbursed for all expenses of at least one national oncology meeting. All residents are encouraged to participate in clinical research during their residency. Past projects have resulted in presentations at ASTRO, ASCO and other national meetings. In addition, residents are encouraged to develop novel clinical research protocols with the guidance of a faculty mentor.
A focus of the University of Chicago Residency program is on basic science research. The PGY-4 year is thus devoted to research. There are currently 2 research pathways—either basic science or clinical research. Due to the wide variety of research and ample laboratories in the department, many residents opt to work under the supervision of one of the department's faculty. As shown in the following sections, the research interests of the department's medical, physics and biology faculty cover a wide spectrum. Residents have also worked in University laboratories outside the department. Recently, residents have also had the option to pursue clinical research during their PGY-4 year in which they obtain a Master of Science in Health Studies. Recent senior residents have been recipients of prestigious fellowships from the American Cancer Society (ACS), American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
After Completion of the program
Many program graduates have pursued careers in academic radiation oncology. Institutions with University of Chicago alumni include Duke University, Mallinckrodt (Washington University), University of California San Diego, University of Southern California, and the Mayo Clinic. A number of recent graduates have remained at the University of Chicago and are currently on staff. Others have chosen private practice and presently work at centers throughout the country.

During the mid to late '60s, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds were one of the most popular soul acts on the live circuit, only rivalled by labelmates Geno Washington & His Ram Jam Band. Jimmy's recording of Neil Diamond's 'Red, Red Wine' in 1969, taken from the Vagabonds' second album 'Open up your Soul', gave them their first commercial hit record. He continues to play to full houses on the cabaret circuit across England and has appeared with artistes such as The Drifters, The Four Tops and the late Edwin Starr.
