White House blamed for impasse
The House sent multiple government funding bills to the Senate that defunded and delayed Obamacare. America doesn't want the health care takeover. Yet Harry Reid refuses to negotiate with the House. He'd rather protect Obama's legacy than protect your country from a "train wreck." Obama is trying to blame conservatives for the government shutdown. But he and Harry Reid are the ones refusing to negotiate. We can't let them get away with that.
TONY KUBIK, Soddy- Daisy
Solar savings questioned
Although I am an advocate of renewable energy and appreciate the potential of solar energy, I wonder how the airport solar system means "savings" since the original government investment of $7 million will only result in only $205,000 annual savings.
This is at least a 34-year payout and appears to be to be just another piece of government "pork". What if that $7 million would be invested and drawing interest for those long 34 years?
Apology to people needed
Although Weston Wamp attempts to give a new script for House Speaker John Boehner to address the country and regain control and implement a reversal strategy over this government shutdown; he overlooks the third critical apology -- that to the American citizens! To have him apologize to the tea party, to the Republican party and not directly to the people, does not support Mr. Wamp's efforts.
TOM OPAL, Ooltewah
What about 'right to work'?
I own a 2012 Passat, made here in Chattanooga. It's a great car but probably my last. Forget the debate over "is the UAW good or bad."
Didn't VW know that Tennessee is a right to work state when they came here? Sounds to me that they are trying to force a union on the workers and our state as a condition for future growth and employment.
Isn't that in violation of the right-to-work laws? I thought the Germans had given up "dictatorship" back in the 1940s. Guess not.
GORDON SMITH, Signal Mountain
Gordon Smith, I thought the USA had given up on slavery in the 1800's too, but to demand workers work for a non-living wage is akin to slavery. Right-to-work translates into right-to-work for pauper's wages, therefore forcing their employees, i.e. WalMart, to live off government funds such as food stamps and Medicaid and god forbid they should get sick and need healthcare. I think these billionaire CEO's should give back a little to the country that gave them such obscene wealth to stuff in their little piggy banks in other countries, like Mitt Romney, for instance.
Tony Kubik, I don't know what statitics you're seeing, but the polls I read, that includes that ole' liberal rag, WallStreetJournal, overwhelmingly blame the Republicans for this take down of our government. Try finding some truth before you engage your keyboard. You see, the majority of our citizens, confederate states not included, are smart enough to go through their maze of lies and half-truths to get to the FACTS. By the way, congressional approval is at an all-time low of 5%.
anniebelle, could you point out what tony said that wasn't a fact. I see 7 statements in his post 2 of which are opinions so please point out where he has the facts wrong.
The House sent multiple government funding bills to the Senate that defunded and delayed Obamacare.Fact. America doesn't want the health care takeover. Fact. Yet Harry Reid refuses to negotiate with the House. fact. He'd rather protect Obama's legacy than protect your country from a "train wreck." Opinion, don't know his motives.. Obama is trying to blame conservatives for the government shutdown. fact, but he's not trying, he's doing it. But he and Harry Reid are the ones refusing to negotiate. fact. We can't let them get away with that. opinion
I don't think Mr. Kubik said anything about who the polls were blaming he said the president was trying to blame the conservatives, fact. he also said the president and reid were the ones not wanting to negotiate, fact. maybe you should read what he said before you engage your own keyboard and it sounds like you might be one of those not smart enough that live in one of those confederate states
GORDON SMITH, You're right. VW shouldn't be making decisions about its business. That should be done by government officials who know what's good for us. That's the conservative American way.
TONY KUBIK, The President has asked for a clean funding bill. The House has declined. The President asked for reconsideration. What exactly do you want him to do?
we have a 3 branch (4 really but the media won't do their job)system of government not a dictatorship. and the house of representatives is controlled by the republicans. as I said before elections have consequences and the consequences of ramming obamacare down the throats of americans was the birth of the tea party. you had a chance to throw them out in 2012 and you didn't do it. tough luck
Soakya, if you were informed, you would know what kind of "proposals were sent to our President" from the party that LOST the election. We voted out their policies, understand? As far as them taking the house, have you ever looked at the gerrymandered map (don't take me for one of your brainwashed cohorts) these repukes have rendered to make sure their teabilly candidate had no chance of losing. Don't try that worn out non-truth "ramming Obamacare down our throats", that's just more made up rhetoric. It was approved by both houses and the black robes, so get over it already.
if you were not disingenuous you would point out it was rammed down our throats by a democratic senate, democratic house of rep, and a democratic president despite overwhelming opposition from the American people. then the black robes said it was a tax despite the fact that all tax bills are to originate in the house of representatives not the senate. Understand this annie, the 2010 election is what put the house in the hands of the republicans because of this ram down. so you need to get over that. and yes annie you are nothing more than a brainwashed shill for the ignorant left who has been and is destroying this country with their policies. elections have consequences annie so get over it.
if I were you annie I wouldn't be talking about anyone being uninformed because you apparently get all your news from the huffinton post and msnbc.

About Salta
Here you will find a complete list of your Salta hostel options, and as you can see, there are many.
As the most touristed city in northwestern Argentina, Salta might be expected to be frantic, frenzied, and frenetic. But "La Linda" surprises, and delights &em; it retains the relaxed and tranquil atmosphere of a smaller town, while offering all the services of a large urban city.
Stimulating and sophisticated, Salta offers a profusion of hostels, as well as restaurants, cafes, bars and other amusements such as its popular peñas, live folkloric music shows. Tour agencies crowd the central streets, so it's easy to arrange day trips to the eye-catching countryside around Salta or onward travel to other parts of the country or beyond. It's a popular stopping point for travellers on their way to or from Bolivia, but offers worthy attractions in its own right and is worth a few days to explore.
From gracious colonial architecture to an intriguing variety of museums – such as the Alta Montaña with its displays of mummies recovered from nearby mountains – you'll find a wealth of options to entertain yourself. The surrounding area provides some memorable day trips from Salta, from exquisite little Cachi nestled in a valley over a high mountain pass, to the Tren de Las Nubes that will take you almost literally to the clouds, and an abundance of other choices.
A profusion of hostels can be found in Salta, most within walking distance of the bus station and the central plaza. Long-distance buses from the bus station in the southeast corner of the city centre can whisk you to destinations throughout Argentina or points beyond, with most travellers carrying on to Chile or Bolivia from here.

Sol Huasi Hostel
"Disappointed by this hostel´s mercenary attitude - Decently priced at 25 pesos per night in a dorm in August. The services were ok (free internet terminal, ok amenities, free breakfast and cab ride from the coach station). But I was extremely unimpressed at being turfed out after my first night, because they accepted a block booking for our dorm, not least because I had said I wanted to stay for three nights, and offered to pay upfront. Their...

If you're out there looking to date, you know it's not easy. But when was it ever really? You've tried the dating websites like Plenty of Fish and Match.com and you have struck out again and again. Your local dating pool is as shallow as a kiddie pool. What's a young, energetic guy or girl to do? How about packing your backs and diving into a much bigger pool?
Traveling is a great way to meet people. It doesn't even really matter where you go. Just book a ticket to an ideally warm place and head out.
Here's why this works… People on vacation are out to have fun and let loose. The normal constraints of local social norms, or knowing everyone around don't apply out in the wild. Inhibitions are lowered and people are looking to meet new people.
Another reason it's easy to meet people while traveling is you might be the only other person that looks like them or speaks their language that they've met for a week. For example, let's say you're from America and you've traveled to Saigon, Vietnam. Not a whole lot of people speak English there and you aren't going to necessarily bump into a ton of other Americans outside of the city centers. Another American is most likely going to strike up a conversation in the bar.
Words of warning of course, include practicing safe sex. Is AIDS curable? They have a lot of medications, but it's not curable as of yet. Is herpes curable? Nope. So be safe and sane when engaging in intimate activities.
Also just like in any part of the world including your own home town, you need to watch out and make sure you aren't putting yourself into any kind of danger. Make sure your loved ones or friends know where you are. A little ounce of prevention can save a ton of serious problems.
Overall, the message it to think outside of the box (and your own city). There's a big planet. Make the world your dating pool and you'll never run out of fun people to date.

During his chat on Boston.com's College Sports Blog, UMass coach Charley Molnar answered questions from fans and shed a little light on some burning questions surrounding the program.
Regarding the offensive line, which will be a major concern for the Minutemen heading into the 2013 season, Molnar indicated that the team added a little extra depth in the form of Vincent Westcarr, who will return for his senior year. The 6'4, 304-pound athlete played in 11 games during the 2012 campaign, and will provide some much-needed size and experience to an offensive line strewn with newcomers.
"The offensive line should be better in 2013. Depth will be a concern going into summer camp. We're hoping that 1 of the 5 new OL will be ready to step up and contribute immediately," Molnar said. "We have received good news since the conclusion of spring practice; Vince Westcarr has decided to return to play his senior season. He should be an immediate impact player on the OL."
Molnar also discussed the McGuirk/Gillette scheduling situation. The Maroon Musket initially broke the story regarding UMass' intention to play three games at a revamped McGuirk Alumni Stadium during the 2014 season. Molnar didn't give an exact number, but he indicated that homecoming and weeknight MAC games would be played in Amherst.
"We look forward to 2014 when we begin to play some games back on campus. At this time, how the games will be divided between Gillette and McGuirk is undetermined," he said. "I do know this – we will definitely play our homecoming game and any MAC weeknight games on campus. We will play BC at Gillette and the rest of the schedule will be decided once the MAC schedule comes out next spring. We think our recipe for success will always be a combination of both venues."
Also discussed was an interesting idea of how to increase the popularity of college football in New England. Molnar wants to play UConn and Boston College every year while simultaneously scheduling one FCS team from the area.
"I have a very doable plan in place," Molnar wrote. "All 3 1A teams (UMass, UConn, BC) should play each other on an annual basis and each one of us should play 1of the 3 New England based 1AA teams (Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island). Not only will our fans in New England love to see who the New England champion is every year, we would certainly help elevate the 1AA programs in the region."
Also of note, Molnar said that he hopes to bring UMass to Austin, Texas to play the Longhorns.
"I've been fortunate to coach in some of the best stadiums in the country. One stadium I have not coached at is the University of Texas and I hope I can bring the Minutemen to Austin one day!"
When asked about possible 2014 NFL Draft picks, Molnar pointed to Rob Blanchflower (TE), Anthony Dima (OT) and Colter Johnson (P).

We have plenty of synonyms for losing one's job: laid off, fired, canned, made redundant, eliminated, dismissed, pink-slipped, discharged, and my personal favorite from a friend: "squirted out of the company."
But new times demand new words, to describe concepts and situations we've never encountered before—like losing your job before you've even started it.
Last week I got pre-fired.
Around mid-morning Wednesday, I accepted a senior editor position with Domino magazine. It was a great gig at a great book—complete with a talented, energetic, sane boss; nice colleagues; and even a slightly higher salary than I'd made at my last job. The editor-in-chief was brimming with ideas. I was psyched. In my head, I loosened up my budget. I could start sending out the laundry again, pay for a personal trainer, replace my totaled car.
Two hours later, Domino folded.
The speed with which everything went down—less time than it took the Titanic to sink, incidentally—was shocking. But I'm not the first to be pre-fired in this economy. Last spring, J.P. Morgan withdrew dozens of Bear Stearns job offers when it acquired the company. And these days, there are probably many smaller, less dramatic examples out there.
Have you been pre-fired? Tell us in a comment or send us an email.

Nick was honored to join Blanchet House of Hospitality Board members, volunteers, and community members to celebrate the grand opening of the new Blanchet House in the Old Town China Town neighborhood.
Founded in 1952 by a group of University of Portland students, Blanchet House began serving meals to those in need in the community. 60 years later, Blanchet serves three meals a day, six days a week, and provides shelter and services for men experiencing homelessness.
Blanchet House had outgrown its home on NW 4th & Glisan, and the City of Portland was proud to invest in a new, larger building just a half a block away. Now with four stories, Blanchet House and its surrounding community can shepherd in the next 60 years of service.

Robin Smith, former Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party and congressional candidate.File Photo/Chattanooga Times Free Press
A big announcement from Robin Smith is coming tomorrow, she said today.
During a local talk radio show appearance Friday morning, Smith is expected to say whether she'll challenge U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., ending will-she-or-won't-she speculation that began last summer.
"Smith has been in an active process of meeting with advisers and supporters to make her decision about a second run for Congress," a news release sent by Smith said.
Arguably more conservative than Fleischmann, Smith was the congressman's top Republican rival during last year's 3rd Congressional District primary race to replace eight-term U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp, who ran unsuccessfully for governor.
Smith took 28 percent of the primary balloting, but Fleischmann beat her by two percentage points and won 57 percent of the general election vote, riding a Republican midterm wave to Washington.
One of Smith's former aides, Mark Winslow, filed something of a political lawsuit earlier this week, jointly accusing Fleischmann and the congressman's chief of staff, Chip Saltsman, of defamation during last year's campaign.
Smith has denied any connection to the lawsuit.
A health care consultant, Smith served as chairwoman of the Tennessee Republican Party before she ran for Congress. She raised $723,000 during the 2010 primary, according to the news release.
Weston Wamp, the former congressman's son, and political science professor Jean Howard-Hill have already said they'll challenge Fleischmann.
No Democrats, independents or third-party candidates have entered the race.
Wamp Junior even considering a run for elected office is beyond the pale and shows what a sheltered and out of touch existence he leads. This is off-the-charts arrogance that results from bad parenting and living a life of privilege. The thought of someone with a silver spoon and not a single accomplishment in life, regardless of party affiliation, acting as a government representative for millions of citizens should make every American's blood boil. Only a fool would support a Wamp Junior ticket. Wamp Senior was a below average Rep w few good ideas and little to show for his service except a nice pension and health benefits. Wamp Junior would be even worse. Again, the arrogance is off the chart. Shame on this kid and shame on his family.
Will Robin Smith run for Congress, again? If she does she is at a financial disadvantage, she has no money, and no fundraising machine. Additionally, Mark Winslow (Smith's former communication director) filed a lawsuit against Fleischmann for defamation of character during the last political campaign (all campaigns involve defamation of character, Smith knows this because she has done it). The circumstances do not add up to a viable candidate nor a candidate who can raise the money to win.
Based upon the current political circumstances, Smith is not a viable candidate and her reputation for slashing and burning others is growing. She is a professional at burning bridges and engaging in the politics of hate.
We better not say anything further or we may get sued...truth, however, is a defense.
Actually, the lawsuit for defamation was recently filed. It was not filed in the last campaign, but was filed alleging that Chuck Fleischmann and Chip Saltzman defamed Smith's character in the last campaign. Mark Winslow really knows how to win an election for Smith, doesn't he?

Festival-goers give first impressions
Tim Bracken, wtop.com
DOVER, Del. - Music fans from across the U.S. and even from Canada flocked to the Dover International Speedway last weekend for the inaugural Firefly Music Festival.
First-time music festivals often receive low marks on things, such as stage layout, food services, and staff shortages.
So, with a lineup that included top-tier acts such as The Flaming Lips, John Legend, Ok Go, Jack White and The Killers, how did Firefly stack up against the competition?
Audience reactions were overwhelmingly positive to the festival that was billed as "the East Coast's premier music experience."
"I did not have high expectations for this to go well," one concert-goer says.
"It's super-clean, they have so many volunteers, so many staff...I think they're doing a fantastic job."
According to attendees, Firefly's minimal shortcomings were associated with the small number of cellphone charging stations, water stations and food offerings.
"The American palate has developed beyond hot dogs, burgers, and chicken fingers," another concert-goer says.
Check out a video from this year's festival
The wooded area around the Dover Speedway was converted into a campground area, providing a mini-Woodstock atmosphere. The concert itself was an alternative to mega-festivals like Bonnaroo and Coachella.
"We can say from our perspective that Firefly appears to have been a great success," says Delaware Tourism Director Linda Parkowski. Officials expected between 30,000 and 40,000 Firefly attendees per day.
Only two days after the festival ended, it was announced that Firefly will return to Dover in 2013.
Parkowski says that the event "rivaled some of the best music festivals the industry offers.
"We're thrilled to see the festival will be returning, and we're hoping it brings back those who attended this year's event and draws some new guests in 2013 as well," Parkowski writes to WTOP in an email.
Firefly's charity of choice is Music Gives to St. Jude Kids, which raises money to help children living with cancer.
Jason Thomas Gordon, grandson of the St. Jude Hospital founder, was on hand to represent the organization.
"We're here reaching out to music fans and all these bands, and asking them to take part in saving children's lives," Gordon says. "It's unlike any other music festival out there. We're really lucky."
"Right now, when you think Dover,' you think NASCAR,'" one Tysons Corner resident comments. "Maybe in the future, when you think Dover,' you'll think music.'"
A limited number of 3-day passes for Firefly 2013 are already on sale here.
