Stand back — it's time to open up the inaugural football mailbag and dive in. I'll be taking your Patriots-related e-mails here every week and publishing the best questions every Wednesday. I welcome any reasonable questions at email@example.com. Knock yourselves out.
Hey Chris,
Although it is only the second game of the season, I think the offensive unit as a whole is out of sync. If Joey Galloway is out of sync, then I guess the rest of the receiving unit is, too. Moss and Welker didn't catch every ball thrown their way, either … or can we just say what it really is … Tom Brady isn't as sharp as he used to be YET. Furthermore, how can we assess Galloway or Moss' speed as of yet when we aren't even going deep. Brady throws an INT and that's the end of the deep ball. Offensive play-calling definitely needs to improve.
A: You hit it on the head, HG. At this stage of the season — other than the last 5½ minutes of the Buffalo game — Brady has not been his usual sharp self. Hard to tell if it is a mechanical problem or rust because of his year off. At this stage, I'd go with the latter. I think there was the assumption that Brady would not miss a beat, but he has struggled. You can talk all you want to about being ready for game speed in the spring and summer months, but it's a far different matter when it comes to executing it once the regular season starts, especially when you consider he is working with several new skill position players around him. In addition, his old offensive coordinator is now calling plays in Denver.
As for the deep ball, I think the Patriots have taken their share of shots down the field with Moss. But within the context of the game plan, I don't know how much of those are needed. Regarding Galloway, I have written before that he and Brady do not appear to be on the same page, and I stand by that. There was a fundamental disconnect on several occasions between the two on Sunday, something that even New York quarterback Mark Sanchez commented on after the game. Galloway's situation reminds me of what the Red Sox went through with John Smoltz — he is a veteran who still has something in the tank, but there appears to be a question if he can acclimate himself to his new environment and how long you want to continue with the experiment.
Do you think the backfield-by-committee could be backfiring or is the O line not good at run-blocking? I know most teams have dual backs and a third-down back, but I just wonder if [Laurence] Maroney, [Sammy] Morris and [Fred] Taylor are having a tough time getting into a groove. I've heard all these guys say this wasn't a problem. What do you think? I'm also wondering if they should give BenJarvus Green-Ellis a shot at starting, maybe one guy with his heart and hard running can have better success! I'm probably dreaming, but what do you think? I know the Pats are a passing team, but they can't run at all?
A: I don't think the backfield is backfiring (well-played, by the way), but I think it's simply part of a larger issue having to do with an offense that is still struggling to find an identity. There's a new offensive play-caller in Bill O'Brien, Brady is coming back after a year on the shelf and there are some new offensive options (Galloway, tight end Chris Baker). It's taken longer than anticipated to get everyone on the same page. (I think if the Pats had to do it all over again, they would have played the new guys together as much as possible during the preseason — nothing builds a good level of trust in your teammates like game reps.)
I would have liked to see the Patriots run the ball more on Sunday — they averaged more than 4 yards a carry, with much of that yardage coming on draw-type plays (handoffs out of the shotgun), an excellent way to gain yardage against an aggressive team that might tend to overpursue like the Jets. And it wasn't like they were down big in the second half and had to pass to get back in it. (The one argument against running the ball was that many times, because of bad penalties, the Patriots found themselves in second- and third-and-long situations, not ideal times to run the ball.)
I still think that the running game can be a key part of this offense — with the combo of Maroney, Morris and Taylor in particular — but I think it's just going to take longer than we all thought.
The Hall of Fame selection commitee needs to change the "rules" for induction. Bucko Kilroy dedicated 64 years of his life to the NFL. His entire career should be evaluated with his nomination to the NFL's Hall of Fame. Not many men contributed in more than one voting category. Bucko Kilroy's invaluable contributions as a player, coach and administrator are worthy of selection into the HOF in Canton, Ohio. Evaulate the man's whole contributions, don't discriminate.
David J. Michael, Jr.
A: Eight people (seven players, one "contributor") associated with the Patriots made the preliminary list of 131 nominees for the Hall of Fame's Class of 2010, which was announced last week. Tight ends Russ Francis and Ben Coates, wide receivers Irving Fryar and Stanley Morgan, quarterback Rich Gannon (who was drafted by New England but went on to achieve his greatest success in Oakland), cornerback Ray Clayborn and nose tackle Fred Smerlas all were nominated, as well as former Patriots executive Francis "Bucko" Kilroy.
If I had to handicap the field, I'd say Francis has the best shot at it. A three-time Pro Bowler, he ended his career with 5,262 receiving yards. But Kilroy definitely should merit consideration. Kilroy was one of the most respected men in the game, and few can boast of the contributions he made as a player, coach and administrator. He played in the league with Philadelphia for 13 years, winning All-Pro honors six times as an offensive lineman, and he spent his last three seasons with the Eagles as a player/coach before becoming a full-time assistant coach and, later, Philadelphia's player personnel director. After his days with the Eagles were done, Kilroy was hired as director of player personnel by the Redskins in 1962. He served as a super scout for the Dallas Cowboys from 1966-70 before joining the Patriots in 1971 as the personnel director.
Some would argue he deserves a shot at the Hall for what he helped do with the Patriots' 1973 draft. That year, New England held three of the first 19 picks. With the fourth pick, the Pats took future Hall of Fame offensive lineman John Hannah out of Alabama. At No. 11, it was running back Sam Cunningham out of Southern Cal. With the 19th overall selection, it was wide receiver Darryl Stingley from Purdue. New England would add a fourth regular to the roster that weekend. In the 14th round, the Patriots selected Ray "Sugar Bear" Hamilton out of Oklahoma.
I'm no Kevin Faulk fan, but where was he on Sunday? Against a blitzing team like the Jets, doesn't it make sense to run some screens? And there's no better weapon we have when it comes to the screen pass than Faulk. Plus, we keep hearing how good he is at blitz pickup — you would have thought he would have been the perfect guy to have in there to keep Brady from getting lit up.
A: Belichick explained the lack of screens on a conference call with the media on Tuesday afternoon. He said that it's a risk-vs.-reward situation because of the style of blitzes New York runs, and there was simply too much of a possible "downside" to try running them.
"The Jets haven't been screened a whole lot this year," Belichick said. "I'm not saying you can't do it, but there's definitely some downside to it and maybe a little more big-play opportunity with it — if you hit it — than against some other teams. It's a little tricky to screen a team like that when you don't really know who's covering the guy that you're screening to, and that's the guy you've really got to get."
As for Faulk, your guess is as good as mine. They were missing Welker, and with as much passing as they were doing in second- and third-and-long situations, the best receiver they have out of the backfield (and one of the best receivers on the team) is Faulk, and they only targeted him once. (He had one reception for three yards.)
The Jets picked up [Kevin] O'Connell and beat us. Can the pickup of former Ravens linebacker Prescott Burgess — whose name sounds like a fictional TV billionaire — help us in the preparation for the Baltimore game in two weeks?
A: Short answer? No. Much was made of O'Connell's work with the Jets, but the Patriots certainly weren't buying into it. On "Dennis & Callahan" on Monday, Tom Brady said someone like that will be able to give you certain things, but the idea of getting enough info to tilt a game in one direction or another isn't likely.
"We have a bunch of different protections and we have a bunch of different blitz-beaters. Unless you know what play is called at that time, you're not going to know how we're adjusting to the blitz," Brady said. "He can go in there and say, 'OK, on this play this is what they do,' but that's always in hindsight, that's him looking at the play … we could line up in a different formation and then it's different. And most teams do it the exact same way. It's not hard to study film and figure out how you pick up the blitz. I don't think that's something that's like a big mystery."
As for Burgess, his biggest impact — at least at the start — will be felt more on special teams. I spoke with someone who has covered the Ravens this year, and Burgess was considered one of Baltimore's top special teams players. Down the road, he could figure into the mix at outside linebacker. (Speaking of guys getting picked up by other teams and giving them inside info, here's an interesting take on the Burgess deal.)
The last few years, Rodney Harrison was the guy who always covered the big-time tight ends. He took down guys like [Indianapolis'] Dallas Clark and [Dallas'] Jason Witten. With no Rodney, who's gonna be the guy who gets after those guys now? They're facing a really good TE this week in [Tony] Gonzalez — whose gonna check him?
A: There's not going to be one designated guy anymore — the matchups will be dictated by who matches up best with the opposing tight end. If there's a tight end who has good speed out there, you might see Gary Guyton assigned to cover him, as Guyton remains one of the fastest linebackers in the league. If there's someone with a little less speed and a little more bulk, it could be Brandon McGowan, a safety who has made a significant mark in his short time in New England.
"We're going to try to use different personnel, and that may not ever be the same guy twice," defensive coordinator Dean Pees said Tuesday when asked who will take over that role. "Sometimes it might be more than one guy."
Regardless of who it is, the days of pointing No. 37 in the direction of the opposing tight end and turning him loose are definitely done.

The front desk staff (a family?) was friendly and accommodating. The room was OK, good clean bed, desk, sink, floor. The breakfast muffins in the lobby very fresh, but no fruit some reported. Free WIFI in place. 15 min walk to Convention Center, 7-8$ taxi ride if you're late, otherwise nice walk there. This is a motel, compared to the high-cost hotels around - good compromise for a downtown stay on a moderate budget.
The rubber mat in the bathtub was pretty old, giving impression of it being dirty.. Hope they sanitize it well. The top shelf in the closet dusty. If breakfast is important part of the stay for you, this is not the best part of it (but I didn't care, I enjoyed the muffin and coffee).
The staff was very understanding about refunding the remaining nights of my reservation, and there were no bedbugs.
The bathroom walls were deteriorating; the drains were clogged. When doors of neighboring hotel rooms were opened and shut, the noise was very loud because the walls were not very thick. Anyone walking by the building had access to the doors to the rooms and there were a few people loitering in the area, so I worried that someone would break into my room.
It smelled like urine on the outside of the room. I had to pay for parking The breakfast was bad, not even butter. Noisy at night. I did not feel safe. No towels in the bedroom, I had to request at the front desk.
Location and price
Mattress hard and old. Carpet sticky. Only 2 towels. No bath mat. be careful with their breakfast. One person felt sick from drinking milk which was left outside all morning. well, you get what you paid for. But if current pictures were posted on booking.com, I would know not to there.
We're still alive.
The price of the room did not include parking, so we had to pay extra for that. Then, when we went out for a couple of hours and came back, the parking lot was full and the staff couldn't help us either finding another parking spot or refunding us for that day's parking. Internet is slow, breakfast is very limited (corn flakes with or without color additives and some donuts), and the room needed an update. No bath mat but a piece of paper, and the security swing on the door wasn't screwed in properly. Someone apparently tried to force the door in the past... So much for feeling safe! Lots of people walking around the inn and talking loudly at night too. Would not recommend at all.
* Staff was courteous and prompt with concerns * Cheapest stay in the area
* Key card did not work consistently * The room was not clean (e.g. scraps of toilet paper on the bathroom floor when I walked in) * Bathroom door did not physically fit into the frame, so was always open * The breakfast did not have so much as muffins or bagels or juice or anything even an Econolodge offers (just cereal and tiny stale donuts)
We were very close to downtown Charlotte, many things to do, walking distance to various nightlife activities. Bed was very comfortable.
Outside of the hotel was a little rough, room was basic, bathroom leaky and unfinished.
Everything. The last time I saw a TV like that, was about 20 years ago. There are permanent residents.
It was within a decent walking distance from the stadium, just over a mile so didn't have to worry about getting out of a lot after.
There was no shower curtains and the room was missing light bulbs. There was a sign on the desk saying we'd be charged if it wasn't reported within 15 minutes so we made sure to and there wasn't an offer to replace the curtain or bulbs. After our key stopped working after the game we were there for she offered to let us switch rooms but at that point we just wanted to go to bed. You practically had to body slam the door to open or close it and it made a horribly loud noise. Turns out the AC didn't work properly and we were either burning up or freezing cold.
The hotel is run down not clean and overall not a good place to stay. You have to pay to park in their lot which is not secure either. I do not recommend staying at this hotel.
Price Pseudo-location
cheap feeling broken ice machines minimal free breakfast
location was fantastic. 10 minute walk from Epi Center, science museum, other bars, etc.
old/run down rooms, very hard to unlock door (we had to try 10+ times to swipe every time we wanted to open door), hard bed, ac unit kept cycling off and on which woke me up every time cycle changed
The room rate was very reasonable compared to other downtown hotels and the bed was comfortable.
The bathroom was outdated and did not meet our requirements. We moved out after the first night and went to a better hotel.
Nothing. The pictures are deceiving. Lady at front desk was pleasant.
Bugs in the bed, drugs under the bed. Left early after finding another location.
Too close to the high way. Sound proof is not very good. Too much noise! It is hard to fall in sleep.
Location is excellent and close to epicenter and concert venues, etc.
Definitely a place where you get what you pay for. Not the nicest place, but for a one night stay, the price was right and it was sufficient.
The location was very convenient to the downtown. The cost was decent.
There was a charge for parking. The people next to us were arguing in the middle of the night and kept slamming doors. All we heard was cussing for 3.5 hours. The walls were too thin. The faucet leaked in our shower. The tissue box had 1 tissue in it. The toilet paper roll in the bathroom was used and down almost to the rim, I dont know who used that before we came in.
Price & location! Front desk staff very friendly and helpful.
Clean, very friendly staff.
Pool advertised hasn't even been opened this year and that the sole reason we chose this hotel. Ghetto, Ghetto, Ghetto! They stand on the property in the driveway every night. We had to walk by them every time to get to our room it was very frightening. Not sure why the staff doesn't ask them to leave. The walls are very thin we could hear not only sirens but people yelling outside. The "free" breakfast is stale fruit loops and corn flakes and small dried out chocolate donuts. No drinks only coffee.
Price Location Very helpful and welcoming staff
A/C didn't work very well in my room

Whether you were a track star in high school or just like to jog from time to time, road races are a great way to get physically active while also supporting a good cause. Road races almost always include a wide variety of people, young and old, with faster and slower paces. Even if running is not your favorite activity, most road races also include walkers.

I use this as a night time treat because it leaves a white -ish look to the lips but worth it. Plus let's not forget the fact that it smells delicious. Very moisturising and leaves my lips soft in the morning.
This was okay, it smelt nice and the texture was good. The lip butter is very white and when applied does make your lips look very white. When applied it loses its smooth texture and becomes grainy but it is still moisturising so i guess its on okay product. It is not as good as the born lippys from the body shop.
This lip butter has the most delicious smell that I've ever experienced! I decided to buy one when I saw a display near the counter, and I'm so glad I did! The texture is buttery, the smell is wonderful and it makes my lips feel soft! I have nothing negative to say about this what so ever. Try the sample in the shop - if you like the smell, then go for it!
Edit: it did go dry after awhile, but I guess that's to be expected!

Wisconsin native John McCutcheon? (born August 14, 1952) is an American folk music singer and multi-instrumentalist who has produced over twenty-five albums since the 1970s. He is a graduate of Saint John's University in Minnesota, and now resides in Charlottesville, Virginia.
While in his 20s, McCutcheon? travelled to Appalachia and learned from some of the legendary greats of traditional folk music, such as Roscoe Holcomb, I.D. Stamper, and Tommy Hunter. His vast repertoire also includes songs from contemporary writers like Si Kahn (e.g. Gone Gonna Rise Again, Rubber Blubber Whale) as well as a large body of his own music. He is regarded as a master of the hammered dulcimer, and is also proficient on many other instruments including guitar, banjo, autoharp, mountain dulcimer, fiddle, and Jew's harp.
When he became a father in the early 1980s he found most children's music "unmusical and condescending", and sought to change the situation by releasing a children's album, Howjadoo, in 1983. Or...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The history of Olympia, Washington, includes long-term habitation by Native Americans, charting by a famous English explorer, settlement of the town in the 1840s, the controversial siting of a state college in the 1960s and the ongoing development of arts and culture from a variety of influences.
Olympia is situated at the extreme southern tip of Puget Sound on Budd Inlet. The site of Olympia was home to Lushootseed-speaking peoples for thousands of years. The abundant shellfish in the tideflats and the many salmon-spawning streams entering Puget Sound at this point made it a productive food-gathering area. Many tribes shared access to these resources, including Squaxin, Nisqually, Puyallup, Chehalis, Suquamish, and Duwamish. According to early settlers' accounts, natives called the present site of Olympia "Cheet Woot" or "Schictwoot", meaning "place of the bear."
The first recorded visit by Europeans was in 1792 when Peter Puget and a crew from the British Vancouver Expedition charted the site. In 1833, the Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Nisqually, a trading post at Sequalitchew Creek near present day DuPont, Washington. As the fur trade declined, the HBC diversified, forming a subsidiary called Pugets Sound Agricultural Company and converted former trade posts including Fort Nisqually into working farms. The U.S. Exploring Expedition under Lt. Charles Wilkes explored the Puget Sound region in 1841. They camped near Fort Nisqually while they charted the area and named Budd Inlet after expedition member Thomas A. Budd.
The first known European to reside at the future site of Olympia was Thomas K Otchin, an English Hudson Bay Company employee who took up a claim in 1841 but abandoned it by 1842.[1]
American settlers came to the area in the 1840s, drawn by the water-power potential of Tumwater Falls and established nearby "New Market," now known as Tumwater, the first American settlement on Puget Sound. The site was the northern end of the "Cowlitz Portage," the overland trail between the Cowlitz River and Puget Sound. In a time when water travel was the easiest form of transportation, Olympia's location on the north end of the main route through the area made it a crossroads for regional trade.
In 1846 Edmund Sylvester and Levi Lathrop Smith jointly claimed the land that now comprises downtown Olympia. Smith built his cabin and enclosed two acres for a garden and livestock near the current intersection of Capitol Way and Olympia Avenue. Smith's untimely death in 1848 left Sylvester the sole owner of the land on which he platted the future townsite. Early names for the settlement included "Smithfield" and "Smithter" in honor of Levi Smith. In 1853 the town settled on the name Olympia, at the suggestion of local resident Isaac N. Ebey, due to its view of the Olympic Mountains to the northwest.
At the request of the Hudson's Bay Company, French Catholic missionaries established Mission St. Joseph of Newmarket and school in the 1848 at Priest Point near the future townsite for the conversion of natives to Catholicism.
In 1851, the U.S. Congress established the Customs District of Puget Sound and Olympia became the official customs port of entry requiring all ships to call at Olympia first. In 1854, the customs house moved to Port Townsend at the entrance to Puget Sound to better monitor shipping activity. In 1852, Olympia became the county seat of the newly organized Thurston County which at the time was still part of Oregon Territory.
By the early 1850s American settlers began agitating to separate the area north of the Columbia River from Oregon Territory. The agitation resulted in Congress creating Washington Territory. Isaac I. Stevens served as its first governor. Upon his arrival in 1853, Stevens designated Olympia capital of the new territory. The first territorial legislature convened early in 1854 at the Parker and Colter store on Main Street (now Capital Way) between State Street and Olympia Ave. Olympia's Daniel Bigelow represented Thurston County in the first three legislatures. His family home still stands, now known as Bigelow House Museum, Olympia's oldest surviving home.
The city grew steadily until 1873, when the Northern Pacific Railroad building a line toward Puget Sound unexpectedly bypassed Olympia, choosing Tacoma as its west coast terminus. Alarmed by the loss of the railroad, Olympia residents set to work building their own rail connection to the main line at Tenino. Citizens formed a private corporation to raise money and build a connection. One of the early contributors was black businesswoman, Rebecca G. Howard, whose contribution of 80 acres of land was used by the committee to encourage like contributions. The corporation used both volunteer labor and contract Chinese workers to complete a narrow gauge line by 1878. The little railroad served as Olympia's only railroad connection until the Northern Pacific built a spur to Olympia in 1891.
After Washington achieved statehood in 1889, Olympia continued as the state's capital city. Construction of the current Washington State Capitol began in 1912, with the prominent Legislative Building, one of the largest in the nation, completed in 1928. The building's dome is the fourth largest free-standing masonry dome in the world.
Aside from its role as the seat of state government, Olympia was a fairly typical Pacific Northwest town. Early on, extraction industries such as logging and oystering were the basis of much of the economy. By the twentieth century, sawmilling, fruit canning, and other industrial concerns comprised its economic base. Olympia also served as a shipping port for materials produced from the surrounding countryside, including sandstone, coal, and agricultural products.
Olympia is often associated with the Olympia Brewing Company, which from 1896-2003 brewed Olympia Beer, even though the brewery was actually located in Tumwater. The Olympia Brewing Company began producing beer in 1896 at a site along the Deschutes River and continued until Prohibition. After Prohibition ended, a new brewery was erected just upstream from the original site. This brewery was eventually purchased by SABMiller and closed on July 1, 2003.
Scandinavian immigrants founded two cooperative plywood mills after World War I. During World War I and World War II, there were also increased influxes of workers attracted by wartime industries including shipbuilding.
Periodic earthquakes affect the Olympia area. The 1949 earthquake damaged many historic downtown buildings beyond repair, and they were demolished. Others were retrofit with new facades to replace the damaged Nineteenth century wood and glass storefronts. Subsequently, much of Olympia's downtown reflects mid-twentieth century architectural trends. Olympia also suffered significant damage from temblors in 1965 and 2001. It was the closest major city to the epicenter of the 2001 Nisqually earthquake.
Since the 1960s Olympia has lost much of its earlier waterfront industry, including lumber and plywood mills, shipbuilding, power pole manufacture and other concerns. While the shipping port and log staging area remains, Olympia's waterfront area has gentrified since the 1980s.
In 1967, the state legislature approved the creation of The Evergreen State College near Olympia, mostly due to the efforts of progressive Republican Governor Daniel J. Evans. Evans later served as president of the college, leaving Evergreen in 1983 when he was appointed to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson's death.
Because of the college's presence, Olympia has become a hub for artists and musicians (many of whom have been influential in punk, post-punk, anti-folk, lo-fi and other music trends (see Olympia music scene)). In 2003 Outside Magazine named Olympia one of the best college towns in the nation for its vibrant downtown and access to outdoor activities.[2]
Olympia is a regional center for social justice and environmental activism. Olympia was the hometown of activist Rachel Corrie. Olympia has been the site of direct-action opposition to the Iraq War.[3]
Olympia hosts the state's largest annual Earth Day celebration, Procession of the Species, a community arts-based festival and parade. Also popular is the Olympia farmer's market,[4] the second largest in Washington State, as well as the locally based Olympia Food Co-op.[5]
Olympia based independent media outlets, such as: KAOS FM 89.3, Free Radio Olympia 98.5 FM,[6] and Olyblog[7] as well as independent publications, such as Works in Progress,[8] keep local residents informed.

Emmanuel Saez (born November 26, 1972) is a French and American economist who is Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] His work, done with Thomas Piketty, includes tracking the incomes of the poor, middle class and rich around the world. Their work shows that top earners in the United States have taken an increasingly larger share of overall income over the last three decades, with almost as much inequality as before the Great Depression. He recommends much higher taxes on the rich, up to 70% or 90%.[2] He received the John Bates Clark Medal in 2009 and was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2010.
John Bates Clark Medal[edit]
He was the recipient of the 2009 John Bates Clark Medal, awarded to "that American economist under the age of forty who is judged to have made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge."[3] Saez's research contributions have been mainly in the field of Public Economics. The 2009 John Bates Clark citation reads:[4]
"[Saez's] work attacks policy questions from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, on the one hand refining the theory in ways that link the characteristics of optimal policy to measurable aspects of the economy and of behavior, while on the other hand undertaking careful and creative empirical studies designed to fill the gaps in measurement identified by the theory. Through a collection of interrelated papers, he has brought the theory of taxation closer to practical policy making, and has helped to lead a resurgence of academic interest in taxation."
MacArthur Fellow[edit]
In 2010, the MacArthur Foundation named Saez a MacArthur Fellow for his research into the connection between income and tax policy.[5]
Saez has written extensively on the theory of optimal taxation and transfer, addressing topics such as wealth and income inequality, capital income taxation, and retirement. In addition to his theoretical work, he has authored a number of empirical papers, many of them applying the results from his theoretical work to US household data. His focus on the top .1 % of the income and wealth distribution has led to political theories about the "great compression" and the "great divergence."[6][7] It has led to significant research on the consensus about the ideal wealth distribution.
Saez's research on wealth and income inequality has largely focused on households at the top of the wealth and income distributions. These households make up a significant portion of the US tax base.
Conservative critics, such as James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute, say that Saez and Piketty measure "market income," or total income before tax excluding income from government. Saez describes it as gross income reported on tax returns before any deductions. This excludes unemployment insurance, welfare payments, food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and employer-provided health insurance. Saez says that these are the best data available, measured consistently since 1913. Critics say that they exaggerate inequality.[8]
In 2011 Saez and Peter Diamond argued in public media a widely discussed paper[9] that the proper marginal tax rate for North Atlantic societies and especially the United States to impose is 73% (substantially higher than the current 42.5 percent top U.S. marginal tax rate).[10]
Saez has been described as an "easygoing" person who loves surfing.[11] He has reportedly resisted overtures from the economics departments at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and his alma mater MIT.[citation needed]

Great New England Hurricane 75th anniversary of big storm is todayBy LYNNE TUOHY
THE Associated Press | September 21,2013AP PHOTO
This photo from the collection of the Monadnock Center for History and Culture shows flood waters in the center of town in Peterborough, N.H., during the Great New England Hurricane of 1938.PLYMOUTH, N.H. It slammed into land and rapidly moved north, destroying buildings, altering coastlines, ripping apart forests and shocking a population that had never experienced a hurricane.
About 700 people died 75 years ago when the storm known variously as the Great New England Hurricane of 1938 or the Long Island Express began plowing up the Northeast coastline at 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 21, 1938.
A weather station in Massachusetts recorded sustained winds of 121 mph and gusts as high as 186 mph a major storm by modern standards that dwarfs the land wind speeds recorded in storms Irene and Sandy, which also devastated parts of the Northeast in recent years.
It was the strongest, the most devastating, the deadliest and the costliest for the region and still is, says Lourdes Aviles, a Plymouth State University meteorology professor in Plymouth, N.H., who this month published the book Taken by Storm, 1938: A Social and Meteorological History of the Great New England Hurricane.
The hurricane was the death knell for many mills and factories that had barely survived the Great Depression. It stripped 4 million bushels of apples from orchards, killed livestock and felled millions of trees, according to Aviles research. Bridges and dams were destroyed, and rail travel was halted for weeks.
The hurricanes death toll varies from 500 to 800, depending on the source. Aviles adopts the Works Progress Administrations count of 682. Tidal surges as high as 26 feet were recorded, and Rhode Island suffered the most casualties.
The storm was notable not only for the death and destruction it spawned, but also the forward speed that gave it one of its nicknames. It hit Long Island, N.Y., and southern Connecticut moving at an amazing 47 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Despite the recent woes brought by Sandy and Irene, any similar storm in the future will beset a population that has no appreciation of what a true hurricane is, Aviles says.
No matter what storm you think about in the last century, she says, nothing here compares with 1938.MORE IN Wire NewsPUCON, Chile One of South Americas most active volcanoes erupted early Tuesday in southern...

Permission: University of Illinois Press
Decr. 1st '88 Thomas Lincoln with his family started to go from Ind to Ills in March '30. The weather was rough and cold. When Lincoln got somewhere near the line that divides Ind from Ills; after traveling several days, the family Came to one of those long loggy corduroi bridges laid over a wide swamp. The water was over the logs and a thin sheet of ice bridged the water. Now & then there were posts along the bridge to direct the traveller. The family came to the edge of the swamp. Abrm drove the Oxen, two yoke, but when he attempted to go into the swamp & on the bridge he could not make the oxen break the ice, without apparent cruelty. Abm coaxed and threatened by turns, but the oxen would not go on the ice; and at last Abrm saw that force must be applied so he swung his long oxe lash around and around over the oxen high in the air and brought the lash down Cutting open the hide. The oxen at last went on the thin ice broke their way &c. When about half way over Abe heard his poor dog bring a kind of despairing howl: he stopt the oxen, pulled off his shoes rolled up his pants got out of the wagon jumped into the Cold water, the sheets of ice hitting his shins. He got to the dog took him, frightened nearly to death, in his long & strong arms, Carried him to the wagon put him in it, the dog cruching close to Mrs Lincolns feet, scared half out of his wits. The oxen were soon told to go on and on they went through the ice. After the family had crossed and got on dry land Abe found difficulty in getting the dog out of the wagon at last he had to haul him out by force. When the dog was out and on dry land he cut up such antics as no dog Ever did before: he ran round and round Abe & laid down at his feet got up and ran round and round again and again: he seemed was grateful to Abe, his benefactor. Lincoln said to Dubois after telling him the story "Well, Jesse, I guess that I felt about as glad as the dog". This story I got from Dubois, he getting it from L many many years ago when the two were young men. Library of Congress: Herndon-Weik Collection. Manuscript Division. Library of Congress.

Police say dissidents behind photographer shooting
Police have said they believe dissident republicans were responsible after a photographer was shot during violence in east Belfast on Tuesday.
It happened during a second night of trouble at a sectarian flashpoint on the Lower Newtownards Road.
Police said the trouble was orchestrated by the loyalist paramilitary group, the UVF.
NI First Minister Peter Robinson has offered to try and resolve the situation.
Police have told the BBC that detectives believed dissidents were responsible after a Press Association photographer suffered a gun shot wound to his leg.
He underwent surgery on Wednesday. Talks have been taking place throughout the day between community and political leaders in an attempt to defuse tensions.
Mr Robinson told the BBC that if people felt they need to have issues addressed "I will meet them".
He said people were horrified at what had happened and recognised the "reputational damage" it was doing to the economy.
The trouble erupted again at 2045 BST on Tuesday.
A barrage of petrol bombs, missiles and fireworks were thrown at police lines for a second night, in what is being reported as the worst trouble in the area for a decade.
Two other men were injured. They are believed to have suffered burn injuries.
Police fired 66 plastic bullets during the disturbances.
A 20-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon and assaulting police.
Assistant Chief Constable Alistair Finlay said they believed the east Belfast Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) were involved.
Historically at this time of year there have been street clashes where Catholic areas meet Protestant districts.
But that has been in the past and violence has been relatively rare on the streets since the Good Friday Agreement 13 years ago. So this has sprung up as something of a surprise.
It's a part of east Belfast which historically has had a problem between a small number of Catholics and Protestants.
There have been a number of small-scale sectarian incidents in recent months.
There is a presence in the area of a faction of the pro-British loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force, a paramilitary organisation which signed up to the peace process but is becoming disillusioned.
They are flexing their muscle and, if you put those factors together, you begin to understand what is happening.
"Whether they have lost the influence to stop it, I don't know, but there certainly seems to be nothing to suggest that our position has changed, that the bulk of this violence is coming from the loyalist community and the UVF in east Belfast does have a role to play in that," he said.
Just before midnight, a number of shots were fired and the photographer was injured.
Another photographer was standing with other media, near police landrovers on the Lower Newtownards Road when the shooting happened.
"I looked back and there was somebody peering over the wall and he shot about five or six rounds," he said.
"We were all just running.
Blood"The next thing I know a colleague of mine, he yells, 'I've been shot, I've been shot', and I looked back and his leg on the bottom part, I don't know if he was grazed, or if the bullet went in or what, but I looked at his trousers and his trousers were all stained.
"It was wet, it was obviously blood."
The photographer said he had been in contact with his injured colleague.
"He's doing fine," he said.
"I just got a text from him. He's going into surgery this morning. The bullet went in and came out, so it is not life-threatening."
It was initially reported that 700 people were involved in the riots on Tuesday night but police have now said it was between 350 to 400.
The MP for the area, Naomi Long, told the BBC a man who was struck with a brick on Tuesday night had suffered a fractured skull.
'Step back'She described the trouble as a "very serious situation" and said appeals from political representatives for calm had fallen on "deaf ears".
"People need to step back from this situation," she said.
"We have had another round of gunfire on Tuesday night, we have had someone else injured with a bullet wound.
"When you have guns back on streets, it is very clear that the intent here is to take life.
"There is no other reason why people would bring a gun onto the street, and I think that people need to take a step back and really think about what they are doing."
There was a large police presence, following Monday's sectarian clashes, and two water cannon vehicles were deployed.

My realistic run-up target to Phase 3 data in ESTABLISH-2 is $7-7.50 with a pop into the $8-9 range on positive data.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Yes, this is reasonable for a new MRSA killer that is more efficient (only 6 days of treatment) than Zyvox and kills bugs that may be resistant to Zyvox or other treatments. Easy money for patience, that is all.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The NewFrontiersman is a right wing newspaper in the graphic novel ,Watchmen. It's editor is Hector Godfrey. Hector Godfrey has a young assistant named Seymour. The paper is sold at Bernard's newstand throughout the novel and Walter Kovacs is a regular purchaser of the paper. The paper claims the Nova Express magazine is run by communists and promotes the idea of the crime fighter as good. It is attacked by the Nova Express by saying it's a bad paper if someone like Walter Kovacs later revealed as the vigilante,Rorschach reads it. Rorschach trusts the paper so much that he writes an entry of his journal about possible Armagedon and sends it for them to publish and reveal to public. The Slogan The Newfrontiersman in your heart you know it's right. In the comic some street punk writes wing at the end of right with spray paint as some kind of immature offense.

Recent Developments in Copyright Law. Tara Wheatland of Jermain, Dunnagan & Owens, P.C. will provide an overview of several recent developments in copyright law, including the broad-ranging debate over SOPA and PIPA--two bills in Congress aimed at reducing online piracy--and the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Golan v. Ashcroft--a case which challenged the constitutionality of a federal law extending the term of copyright protection for some works that were already in the public domain. Ms. Wheatland specializes in litigation and education law. Before joining JDO, Ms. Wheatland worked as a Copyright Research Fellow for the Copyright Principles Project at the Berkeley Center For Law & Technology.

Colton (Calif.) Joint Unified School District was one operation featured in Green Fleets Across America in 2009. Fifty route buses are powered by CNG.
TORRANCE, Calif. — In 2009, SCHOOL BUS FLEET profiled pupil transportation operations' green efforts in "Green Fleets Across America," and we'll be doing so again in our upcoming June issue.
We're looking for school bus fleets that excel in all areas — such as safety, training, innovation and maintenance — but we'll focus on environmental efforts. These may include:
• use of emissions-reducing equipment (diesel particulate filters, etc.) • use of alternative fuels • anti-idling policies • increasing route efficiency • recycling and waste reduction • environmental community service (tree planting, trash collecting, etc.) • use of energy-saving devices and sustainable materials in facilities
We'll accept nominations through Friday, March 23. Send an e-mail to [email protected] telling us a bit about your operation and what makes it great and green.
how can i contact you to find out fleet of bus pricing

Local author and attorney Stephen Van Zant has a book signing at 6 p.m. Monday at the Hardin County Public Library. His book "Far From Good," published by WinePress Publishing, is his first young adult novel.
Van Zant also is available to talk about his book and what inspired him to write it.
He describes the novel as a coming-of-age story focusing on Sam Cray during the summer of 1975. As Cray is adjusting to his parents' divorce, a fight between a friend and a football coach require him to make a life-altering decision.
A movie directed by Jon Favreau ("Iron Man") backed by executive producer Stephen Spielberg ("Super 8") and producer Ron Howard ("Angels and Demons") and staring Daniel Craig (James Bond) and Harrison Ford ("Star Wars") should be expected to be a summer blockbuster. "Cowboys & Aliens" has all this plus, well, cowboys and aliens.
For Holly Brim, music is an extension of one's soul.
"Whatever is happening on the inside always comes out in my music," Brim said. "I like singing for fun as well, but for me the songs I sing have some type of emotional or spiritual connection."
Listeners look for something real today, she said.
"I try to convey a realness through music," Brim said.
I first met this month's honoree when she was named Hardin County's ExCEL Award winner. I also worked with her as her son, Paul, was an actor in Andy Zagar's musical productions at West Hardin Middle School and then appeared on stage in Youth Theatre of Hardin County's performances.
This lady is so talented and outgoing, and I recently learned she also is an outstanding cook. Today's honoree as "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" is Becky Bauer, teacher at G.C. Burkhead Elementary School in Elizabethtown.
The scenes are familiar to many: the perennially downtrodden, yet persevering, kid once again trying to fly a kite when all his past attempts have gone woefully awry; the anthropomorphized beagle astride his doghouse in a deadly dogfight with the unseen Red Baron.
Those images created by the late cartoonist Charles Schultz in his comic strip "Peanuts" will be represented on stage when Hardin County Playhouse presents "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown: The Musical."
I'm sharing several of my favorite chocolate recipes with you today. Believe it or not, I'm not one of those folks who absolutely can't resist chocolate. The only two chocolate treats I can't resist are Coca-Cola Cake and Hershey's Kisses.
Quite some time ago, I entertained the idea of writing a cookbook. I put it off thinking it was just too large a project. But last year, I thought, "Why not?"
I worked on and off last year and thought I would finish it up this past winter. Not. There really was a lot of work to do, then the image of my Dad, who has been gone since 1972, when at the age of 63, he was plucked away from us.
When vintage cars cruise into downtown Elizabethtown, Heath Seymour, executive director of the Elizabethtown-Hardin County Heritage Council hopes they will not only attract visitors but introduce customers to the businesses there.
For its part, the council will have a booth at the event Saturday and hold a scavenger hunt, complete with prizes.
"We're trying to find ways to get people downtown on a regular basis," Seymour said.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, photos of me generally say "Yikes" a thousand times.
This is not news to some, as I've written about this in previous columns and told countless individuals when the subject came up. I generally qualify the statement by explaining it is not impossible to get a decent photograph of me. It's just that a photo of me is more likely to elicit gasps or guffaws than anything else.
Reality is not just for T.V.
It's the foundation of the lyrics written by Elizabethtown rapper Master Harrison Isom, who performs under the name H. Master Ice.
Isom recalls writing down his thoughts and emotions when he was in the second grade.
"My teacher suggested I should write because I had to vent," Isom said.
As he got older, Isom continued to express himself on paper and eventually began rapping when he was 16.
That's when he began recording his music, too.
