Accent Inns / Russ Hay's 2015 Team Roster & New Partnerships
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Accent Inns Russ Hay's Cycling Team presented by Scotiabank has announced its Team roster and new partnerships for the 2015 Racing Season. "Every year, we seem to raise the bar of excellence," explains Jon Watkin, General Manager, "In 2014 we won 50 races had over 100 top ten finishes. We took the BC Provincial Road and Criterium titles, and had two top ten placements in the National TT Champs in Quebec. We also had two of our guys selected to race in the 2014 Tour of Alberta. The icing on the cake was having Cody Canning win the Grand Prix Cycliste Pro Sprint Challenge against some world tour guys. In 2015, we plan to continue to produce breakthrough results, but with a stronger focus on major criterium and circuit races." Read the rest of this entry »
CHEK News Christmas Drive Thru
December 11th will see the "cast and crew" of CHEK TV descend upon the Accent Inn in Victoria BC. Just like Santa's Elves' they will be working hard to to prepare and host the 20th annual CHEK Christmas Drive Thru.
You like grabbing a bite or a coffee at your local drive thru so why not make your donations that way too!
Where else will you find TV personalities and volunteers alike "hustling and bustling" around to unload your donations of goods for the Salvation Army. Sold everything in a garage sale?.. no worries cash donations are more than welcome, in fact a Salvation Army kettle will be on hand and it sure looks great to see it when it's filled with bills!
Making the experience even better you'll have the Salvation Army band serenading you with Christmas Carols. Rumor has it that this night is so special, Santa himself has scheduled an appearance! (why is it we never see Jim Beatty and Santa at the same time…..could it be..hmmmm?)
Please join us December 11th from 5 – 7pm at the Accent Inn at the corner of Blanshard and Cloverdale and help support those in need!
Dog-Days …and Nights (Travelling with your dog)
I have an Australian Shepherd called Finnegan – Finn for short – he's a great dog; friendly, well-behaved and adores everyone. I rarely take him with me on out-of-town trips though because finding a hotel that takes dogs is tough, if they say they accept pets, it usually just means they 'tolerate' them. I thought finding a hotel that actively welcomed them would be well-nigh impossible. That is until I checked out Accent Inns – these guys seriously love dogs, as their advertising says they really do speak Pekinese; although Finn is not fluent in Pekinese he certainly understands the sentiment and approves by vigorously wagging his little nub of a tail (Australian Shepherds don't have full tails).

Victoria Truck Light Parade – watch it, support it
Breaker Breaker… looks like we got us a convoy coming Saturday night, December 6th. The annual IEOA (Equipment owners association) truck light parade will head through Victoria BC. From 5:45 pm to 8:30 pm, main streets, side streets and even back streets will be lit up by some of the most colorful collection of vehicles ever seen. Cement trucks, dump trucks, slingers, crane trucks, fire trucks, buses and more will form into a convoy and pass before thousands of local families and visitors before ending up as an incredibly bright display at Western Speedway. The truck owners and companies, their staff, family and friends all come together to pay for and create some incredible displays. These trucks take hours and hours of paid and volunteer time to complete. Every hour that one of these trucks is not "working" that's money they are not earning for their owners. It's a huge commitment by all the participants and we thank them so much. With the additional help of a few sponsors (Accent Inns is proud to be one), some great local media support and the generosity of our local municipalities and police departments this event finally comes together. But let's remember why this started many years ago… to raise awareness and support for those in need. For many years now the Truck light parade has raised 10's of thousands of pounds of food and $$ for Mustard Seed, Westshore Christmas Hamper Fund Society, contact 250-391-9627 & Sidney Food Bank.

November in Kelowna
November can be a dreary month, the clocks fall back the nights draw in and the days can be grey, but don't despair there is plenty to excite you within less than a 30-minute walk, or a 4-minute drive of your Accent Inn hotel room in Kelowna.
Here are three very diverse activities that are sure to make your stay an interesting one. Read the rest of this entry »

Don't Miss All The Fun Of Halloween While Staying At Accent Inns
If you love Halloween and don't want to miss all the spooky fun while staying at any one of our Accent Inns' hotels, don't worry, here are some ghoulishly fun things to do around All Hallows' Eve.
Accent Inns' B.C. communities host many more events than we can list here so if you're looking for a spooktacular time during the bewitching hours we suggest you check out the city you are visiting and see what devilish things they have planned. Read the rest of this entry »
Hotel Room Feast
I like to think of myself as a savvy traveller – I look for a good sized, clean and comfortable room at a good price and if I can get a suite with a kitchen, or kitchenette all the better. That's where Accent Inns score big-time; they're like a mini home-from-home where I can rustle up some food. Whether I'm away on business, or pleasure, it's no fun eating out every night – the novelty soon wears off and the cost these days can be exorbitant. So, eating in your room can save a few bucks and also be very rewarding – but how do you make it special? Read the rest of this entry »

DEFINITION of 'SEC Schedule 13E-3'
A schedule that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by a publicly-traded company or an affiliate when that company becomes "private," meaning that the number of shareholders decreases to the point that the company is no longer required to file reports with the SEC and/or is de-listed from a securities exchange. Qualifying events may include a merger, tender offer, a sale of assets or a reverse stock split.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'SEC Schedule 13E-3'
Schedule 13E-3 must be filed by any company that becomes private and has securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An individual or group of people may purchase a company's stock in order to take it private because it feels that the market is undervaluing the shares. When a firm goes private, its stock is no longer available for sale through open markets.

Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 motherboard review -
The Intel Z77 PCH
PCH - The Platform Controller Hub Chipsets
Okay first a generic / reference overview of the new Series 8 Chipset from Intel. Paired with Haswell processors comes a handful of new motherboard chipsets, five are intended for desktop processors, namely the B85, H87, Q85, Q87 and Z87. For end consumers like you and me the H87 chipset will be less performance targeted and comes with better support for HTPC monitor connectivity. The Z87 chipset is targeted at performance and enthusiast end users allowing much more tweaking and providing performance features. Below, you can see a block table with the differences in Series 7 and now the series 8 chipset and thus motherboard features.
In-between say a Z77 and Z87 chipset only a few things have changed. Six native USB 3.0 support are to be found on the Z87 chipset as well as PCIe Gen 3 graphics slots and up-to six native SATA ports. Z87 will get six SATA 6 Gbps ports which is the one big difference with Z77.
Overall though the new Z87 series chipsets will come with the same amount of controllers as P67/Z77. That means you get six SATA3 ports native from the PCH chip. With PCIe Gen 3, SLI and Crossfire with supported cards should run quite well on them.
PCIe Lanes
With PCIe Gen 3.0. Haswell processors and platforms can feature 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes to be used for graphics and/or other add-in PCI cards. All desktop chipsets have a single PCIe x16 device, the two Z8x chipsets add the option to use two devices at x8. The inclusion of PCI Express Gen 3 is great, but what does that boil down to? Well, simply put, PCI Express Gen 3 provides a 2X faster transfer rate than the previous generation, this delivers capabilities for next generation extreme gaming solutions. PCI Express Gen 3 has twice the available bandwidth, 32GB/s, improved efficiency and compatibility and as such it will offer better performance for current and next gen PCI Express cards. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500MB/s per lane to 1GB/s per lane. So a Gen 3 PCI Express x16 slot is capable of offering 16GB/s (or 128Gbit/s) of bandwidth in each direction. That results in 32GB/sec bi-directional bandwidth. Obviously the hardware you use needs to be compatible.
It should be abundantly clear by now but USB 3.0 is supported at chipset level by Intel, which should save motherboard vendors money when building Intel chipset based boards and hopefully making them overall less complicated to design. In addition to that, we will hopefully see better USB 3.0 performance. The chipset will host 6 USB 3.0 ports. Next to that 14 USB 2.0 ports are supported from the PCH.
LGA 1150 - A new Socket
With Sandy Bridge we moved to socket LGA 1155 and for Ivy Bridge we kept that socket. Haswell however will have a new socket, LGA 1150. The bad news is that you'll be required to purchase a new motherboard. The good news is that the cooler pins are similar to 1155/1156 so you can re-use your cooler. So, you do not need to purchase a new CPU cooler.

Program coordinator Emily Nelson, who's also the development and special events coordinator at the Hope Coalition, took over ArtReach this February. Nelson and the board of directors this year made collaborations with other Red Wing organizations, such as Haven of Hope and the YMCA, a priority.

I have tracked my temperature for the last month. I have never gotten a 98.6. my average is low nothing above 97.8. What would be the next steps
My temperature in the afternoon is 96.4•. What treatment is there to raise my temperature? My pulmonologist asked me if I had had any fevers recently. I told him that if my temperature was 98.6 I had a fever since I run in the 96 range. Do you have any suggestions?
Dear Dr. Denis Wilson,
Is blood group also matters to loss hair.
Is heridity factor effect on hair.
I am 38,stage 6-7 means only side I have and my blood group is O+ve.
Is it possible to regain the hairs….
It would be pleasure if you suggest on this also.
I am Shivakumr Mp from Bangalore,India
thanks and regards
I noticed getting fatigue in 2011. My temps have always been low but now 96.8 in bed before getting up. I am always cold. Hands and feet frozen. Worst of all my fingers look like prunes my hands and arms are wrinkly and super dry the last few years. My thyroid is normal and no hashi.
Should I have an MD rather than a naturopath?
I've been taking my temperature going on a month now and I know something isn't right with my body. My thermometer reads 96.4 and I've been having days in which I feel like I'm suffering from hypothermia as well as fatigue to the point I sleep all day. I've notified my doctor about my symptoms and its like I'm being overlooked. Can you tell me what I should do?

from the inspect-the-width-of-the-coal-chute dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Joel Spolski is a guy who runs a software company, and he used to be a program manager on Excel. However that's not why people give a shit about what he thinks. People read (past tense) his articles because they were pretty good, and explained stuff lots of people in the software business need to know but often don't. For instance if somebody doesn't understand Unicode, I often point them to his article explaining it
The real question is, who is Marc Garcia and why does the article submitter think we should care? In fairness, he says the "updated list" is just his personal opinion rather than something generally applicable, which is good because pretty much every software company I know would fail at least one or two of the points on there, including Google.
Why should I care about distributed source code control in a monolithic commercial development environment?
Aaahhh.. haven't you learned by now that being able to divide concepts recursively is generally a Good Thing (tm)?
Even a monolithic company consists of different workgroups, and the developers in those groups may want to work remotely on some stuff, e.g., when they are on a trip. If it would cost them too much pain to merge in their changes when they're back home, do you think these developers would be thrilled to do said work when they're away?

Agreed. I don't see any meaningful difference between them and your ISIS-style ofmurdering zealot. If these christianists were given the same opportunity and freedom from externally imposed restraints, their self-righteousness and delusions would have them beheading anybody who didn't agree with them in pretty short order.

Social Security Administration:
Service Delivery Plan Needed to Address Baby Boom Retirement Challenges
GAO-09-24: Published: Jan 9, 2009. Publicly Released: Feb 9, 2009.

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Millions of people rely on the services of Social Security Administration (SSA) field offices. In fiscal year 2008, SSA's approximately 1,300 field offices provided service to about 44 million customers. People visit field offices to apply for Social Security cards, apply for retirement and disability benefits, establish direct deposit, and a host of other services. Over the last several years, staffing reductions have challenged field offices' ability to manage work while continuing to deliver quality customer service. To better understand the challenges SSA faces in delivering quality customer service, GAO was asked to determine (1) the effect that staffing reductions are having on field office operations and (2) the challenges SSA faces in meeting service delivery needs in the future and the agency's plan for addressing them. In May 2008, GAO reported initial observations on the effects of reduced staff levels. To conduct this work, GAO interviewed SSA headquarters and field officials and analyzed various data on SSA's workloads and customer service.
Staffing constraints are having adverse effects on field office services. The number of staff in field offices dropped 4.4 percent from 2005 to 2008. As a result of greater efficiencies, field office work produced fell only 1.3 percent during the same period. To manage the reduced staffing, SSA deferred work deemed as a lower priority, such as conducting reviews of beneficiaries' continuing eligibility. However, deferring these reviews means that beneficiaries who no longer qualify for benefits may still receive payments erroneously. Reduced staffing also impacted key customer service indicators. In fiscal year 2007, more than 3 million customers waited for over 1 hour to be served. Further, SSA's Field Office Caller Survey found that 51 percent of customers calling selected field offices had at least one earlier call that had gone unanswered, but for methodological reasons, the unanswered call rate was likely even higher. These factors may have contributed to a 3 percent drop in SSA's overall customer satisfaction rating from 84 percent in fiscal year 2005 to 81 percent in fiscal year 2008. Increases in retirement and disability filings and a significant retirement wave of SSA's most experienced staff pose difficult challenges for SSA in meeting future service delivery needs. SSA estimates that retirement and disability filings will increase the agency's work by about 1 million annual claims by 2017. Further, SSA will experience an agency-wide retirement wave in the coming years--the agency projects that 44 percent of its staff will retire by 2016. SSA published its new strategic plan in September 2008, which calls for SSA to eliminate the backlog of disability hearings and increase online retirement filings to 50 percent of applications. While discussing the plan with us, SSA officials noted that it is not intended to be a service delivery plan detailing how the agency will address the service needs of the retiring baby boom generation. While the plan includes the goal of significantly expanding the use of electronic services, it is not clear how this will mitigate the increasing SSA workload.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In 2009, SSA disagreed that it did not have a detailed plan to address future service delivery needs, stating that it continually plans for the future and has been long aware that the Baby Boom generation would have a dramatic impact on internal staffing losses, as well as escalating disability and retirement claims workloads. The agency described its current efforts as being the Annual Strategic Plan and the agency's annual budget documents. However, in response to continuing concerns about a lack of a consolidated plan to address the disability and retirement wave of the Baby Boom generation, SSA commented that it is developing a single document that describes the many planning efforts that it has in place. SSA commented that its consolidated document will, at a minimum, include comprehensive plans for expanding electronic services for customers; increasing the centralization of receiving phone calls and working claims from customers while maintaining the network of local field offices; enhancing phone and video services in field offices (where applicable) and piloting self-service personal computers in the reception areas of those offices; and continuing to assess the efficiency of field offices. SSA did not agree with our recommendation to establish quantitative standards for field office customer wait times and phone service, stating that such standards would create problems by diverting staff already spread thin across field offices away from processing claims and post-entitlement work. SSA stated that it tracks waiting times and makes adjustments as necessary to improve service, and that many of the recently hired field office staff went to offices with the highest waiting times. GAO recognizes the many pressures SSA faces, but continues to believe that clear standards that establish a minimum level of quality customer service are an essential first step for organizations to measure success. SSA provided no updates on this recommendation in FY10 and FY11. In FY12, SSA reported that it continues to disagree with this recommendation.
Recommendation: To pursue high-quality field office service, SSA should develop a service delivery plan that describes, in detail, how it will deliver quality customer service in the future while managing growing work demands with constrained resources. This plan should identify the extent that new business processes will allow SSA to accommodate growing demand or whether additional resources are needed to achieve its strategic goals. Further, this plan should establish standards for field office customer waiting times and phone service to help identify and improve offices with poor service.

Interesting visit in our old house
A while back I introduced myself and my house to everyone here. Since then, hubby and I have been busy trying to renovate our house (seriously slow expensive going) and while I stop by and check in to see if there is advice around in the Old House Forum on GW, I don't really post much.
But, we recently had a very interesting visit which I thought some of you would enjoy, so I thought I would share.
We received a handwritten letter in the mail (the first interesting thing that happened really because who writes letters anymore!) addressed to my mother in law. When we read it the writer claimed to be the great, great, great, great grand-daughter of the person who helped build part of our house. She was researching her family history and wanted to come visit from the other side of the country while she was visiting other family in the area here. We agreed, but warned her the house was still torn back to the rafters in the entire upstairs and under a major renovation.
When she arrived she had pictures that other family members had given her of a house that did not match ours, so she was thinking she had the wrong house.
That morning, hubby and I had dug out the box of things that have been found in the walls over the years. Letters, a shoe, newspapers, an old pipe, and gone through them. We had planned to show her some of the things. We were very surprised to find that on one the extremely hard to read letters, we could still very clearly read her great, great, great, great, grandfathers name!
She had the right place after all.
We assume he put on the addition we think was added around the 1800's, as he was born in 1762 and died in 1809. It turns out her family owned this property until 1893. There was 2 other random owners here before my husbands family bought in 1920.
A link to my original post is at bottom of post.
I take a few things away from this visit. First, it re-energizes me (and trust me I need it) seeing someone so inspired by the house and it's history. Second, I remember again what is so special about living somewhere with so much history. For me the house itself was old, but the history has always been in my kid's family history. Their grandparents and great grandparents lived here. Seeing another face to the history, adding another family and another 100+ years of their heritage to this house, just brought it to another level.
We let her take the letter home obviously. That is her family history.

Police probe video of 'racist' rant on Tube over passengers speaking in their own 'lingo'
Police were today investigating footage showing a woman launching into a "racist" tirade on a busy London Underground train.
Police were today investigating footage showing a woman launching into a "racist" tirade on a busy London Underground train.
Police have launched a murder inquiry following a suspected fight at a house in East Ham on Saturday night.
Nine men have been arrested following a large violent street brawl in Borough this morning.
In a year that has seen the worst of humanity, we have also witnessed the best.
Amid so many images of grotesque brutality, we found a snapshot of optimism in the photograph of the British medic Will Pooley, sitting up in bed at the Royal Free Hospital. He had contracted Ebola as a nurse in Sierre Leone (right), where he had risked his own life in the finest tradition of service to others.
He benefited from an experimental treatment and, restored to a wonderful, glowing, health, used his sudden celebrity to plead for the quality of research, development and care that had saved his life to reach around the world. His survival demonstrated how our great medical institutions improve the human condition. Now is the time for the Evening Standard to celebrate London's wealth of scientific talent and ambition.
This global capital is a great force for good in science and medicine. We are proud to partner with the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, two philanthropic institutions seeking solutions to the afflictions of mankind, and we are delighted to celebrate the Francis Crick Institute, where some of the greatest brains in the world will collect for the purpose of scientific enlightenment.
The opening section of this magazine is dedicated to those engaged in global humanitarianism. As the astronomer Lord Rees said recently, we face enormous longterm global risks, many related to the environment. We must first demonstrate our fellowship with the millions of people in parts of the world who need help. It is right that London looks out and shoulders its international responsibilities.
On other pages, we pay tribute to London's unique matrix of power. Politics, finance, the arts, technology, food and fashion meld here. We celebrate the brilliant pioneers in whose footsteps others follow; those who have enhanced the spirit of London; and those stalwarts who have had lasting impact - our Capital Treasures. We also find room, as London always has, to welcome those who come here as they seek to make a difference. They share a vision of London's role in determining the success of Britain and beyond. So please celebrate with us an extraordinary group of people, the men and women who are writing a new chapter in the history of the world's greatest city.Sarah Sands
We are optimists. We believe the world is getting better. To take our favourite example, the number of children dying has gone down from 20 million per year to fewer than 7 million per year, even though the global population has more than doubled.....

Following the attacks on a synagogue in Jerusalem by two Palestinian youths, Phyllis Bennis discusses the significant role of Israeli and U.S. policies in the escalating conflict.
Tagged: Benjamin Netanyahu
An anonymous U.S. official caused a dustup when he called the Israeli prime minister "chickensh*t." Others might have said worse.
As more European governments line up to recognize a Palestinian state, Israel (and the U.S.) look more isolated than ever.
Israel believes it can bomb Gazans into changing their interests. How long will Obama support this delusion?
"The notion that things are getting better just because Israel and Palestine are talking," says Phyllis Bennis, "simply isn't the case."
If Obama wants a say in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, he needs to be prepared to back up his words with actions.
DC credibility, Netanyahu's red line, and shame about nuclear disarmament.
The United States military is its own worst enemy, "witch" burning, healthcare overseas, and other assorted errata.
While Israel moved away from the far right in last month's elections, the new coalition is unlikely to alter the occupation.
Gerald Scarfe's cartoon may not have been anti-Semitic, but running it on Holocaust Memorial Day only added fuel to the fire.

Presidential campaigns can get down and dirty at times, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is pushing this year's contest to an even dirtier level.
That's saying a lot, because the Nevada Democrat has had a reputation for being one of the dirtiest politicians in the sleaze-slinging business.
In an interview with the Huffington Post the other day, Mr. Reid charged that an unnamed investor at Bain Capital, the business investment company Mitt Romney founded, told him that Mr. Romney hadn't paid any federal taxes for at least a decade.
"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years," Mr. Reid stated flatly. "Now, do I know that's true? Well, I'm not certain," he said.
The incendiary charge, without an iota of proof to back it up, was bad enough, but he repeated it on the Senate floor where lawmakers can make all the false accusations they want and are constitutionally protected from libel laws.
Mr. Reid apparently believes he can make any claim he wants about Mr. Romney and get away with it. In this case, he was doing the dirty work in the midst of a very hard-fought campaign in which President Obama is in a dead heat with his well-funded Republican rival and could end up on the ash heap of failed one-term presidents.
Mr. Reid didn't just toss the charge out there and leave it at that. No, he rubbed it in as if it were gospel truth. He had it on good authority, he said, though he isn't saying who that person is -- if, in fact, anyone actually told him this.
"I mean, you do pretty well if you don't pay taxes for 10 years when you're making millions and millions of dollars," Mr. Reid said in the interview.
Later, he felt the need to elaborate further on what The Washington Post described as "Mr. Reid's unseemly drive-by" attack, saying that "a number of people tell me that."
This is the worst kind of smear politics possible, making unsubstantiated accusations against the political leader of the opposing party, charging that he was a tax dodger.
Mr. Reid has shamelessly produced no evidence to support his charges. He knows the way the game is played. All you have to do is hurl an outrageous accusation against Mr. Obama's opponent, knowing that there are people out there who will believe it.
"If the senator has any proof, he owes it to Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, to put it on the record, now," The Post said in a blistering editorial Wednesday. "Otherwise, Mr. Reid ought to pause and reflect on the record of another senator who once claimed to have a list of Communists and spies at the State Department -- and could not substantiate it. Mr. Reid's smear tactics are not unlike those of Joseph McCarthy and deserve equal condemnation."
Mr. Reid's charge comes on the heels of the Obama campaign's repeated attacks on Mr. Romney's decision not to release any further tax records beyond the 2010 and 2011 figures he has thus far made public.
Mr. Obama's attack squad suggests that Mr. Romney must be hiding something in his previous tax filings, even though he replied this week, "I have paid taxes every year, and a lot of taxes, so Harry is wrong."
Much, if not most, of the taxes Mr. Romney has paid since he left his former firm have been on capital gains income from his investments. Those gains are taxed at a 15 percent rate, as provided for in the federal tax code, because Congress in its infinite wisdom wants to encourage further investment in the U.S. economy.
That rate also helps ordinary older Americans who live off of their capital gains and dividends in their retirement years.
Mr. Romney knows that the only reason Mr. Obama and the Democrats want him to disclose all of his tax returns for the past 10 years is because they know it will show -- as his last two filings did -- that he paid the lower capital gains tax rate on most of his income.
Then, of course, they will use that information to play their political class-warfare game, which they're very good at, and thus hope to distract voters from issues that matter: four years of weak economic growth, 42 straight months of high unemployment, and an unbroken line of annual trillion-dollar-plus budget deficits that have plunged our country into unprecedented debt.
Mr. Romney struck back on Sean Hannity's radio soon after Mr. Reid made his despicable charge. "Well, it's time for Harry Reid to put up or shut up. Harry's going to have to describe who it is he spoke with because that's totally and completely wrong," Mr. Romney said.
Was Mr. Reid doing the president's dirty work? That was the line of questioning Washington reporters fired off at White House press secretary Jay Carney this week.
The president's spokesman chose his words very carefully, not wishing to criticize Mr. Obama's accomplice on Capitol Hill but not wanting to suggest the White House was endorsing Mr. Reid's accusations, either.
With his back against the wall, Mr. Carney uncomfortably said Mr. Reid "certainly speaks for himself."
"I think the idea that people tell Harry Reid what to do is inconsistent with what everyone here understands," he said before being cut off by a reporter who asked why the White House didn't ask Mr. Reid to stop making charges he could not prove.
"This dispute is between the Romney campaign and Harry Reid and Sen. Reid doesn't take direction, [he] speaks for himself," Mr. Carney replied.
But Mr. Romney's campaign surrogates rejected Mr. Carney's weaselly responses. "[Mr. Reid] was encouraged to do stuff like this by [Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod], by the president and by the White House," former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu told Fox News. "This is the way they operate. It is Chicago-style, gutter politics."
This is the kind of sordid, blood sport Mr. Reid and the White House are playing -- the type of dirty politics that Mr. Obama railed against when he was running for president in 2008.
But Mr. Obama's spokesman can't even bring himself to say that the president categorically rejects the dirty attacks Mr. Reid is inserting into his campaign for a second term.
The underlying message now coming out of the White House seems to be that when you are in the fight for your political life, getting down and dirty is fair game.

Our volunteers and staff are the backbone of our organization.
Angie Fitzpatrick, Program Director of Baby Blues Connection, has been with the organization since 2006. Initially working as a volunteer Mom-to-Mom group facilitator and phone support person, she was then hired as the Program Coordinator. She was promoted to Program Director in 2008 and brings enormous energy, commitment, and organizational skills to the position.
Angie is the mom of two children, a boy and a girl, and has experienced pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety. When she speaks to a mom calling the Baby Blues Connection phone line she truly means it when she says "I understand."
Lisa Coss, Administrative Assistant for Baby Blues Connection joined our staff in 2011. A volunteer for many years, Lisa first served BBC as an email support person and emailed/mailed our mom packets. In newly created position of administrative assistant, Lisa works on our database, organizes all volunteer data, updates the webpage and mails all outreach materials.
Lisa is mama to Oliver and experienced severe depression and anxiety after an unplanned c-section. She attended our mom-to-mom support group and found the combination of therapy, medication and peer support to be instrumental in her recovery.

Medals or music? Parra not fooled
SALT LAKE CITY -- The medals plaza was packed with more than 18,000 people for the first presentation ceremonies, and silver-winning speedskater Derek Parra realized all the fans weren't there to see athletes.
"We're not sure if they're here for us or for the band," Parra joked as the Dave Matthews Band blared on stage.
Parra received a loud ovation when he received his medal Saturday night. The crowd cheered even louder when Matthews was introduced.
F-16 fighters intercept third private jet in Olympic airspace
Two other private jets were intercepted on Friday, with F-16 fighters escorting one to the ground at the Salt Lake International Airport and forcing another to change its route and land in nearby Brigham City.
"The good news for us is that there was no malicious intent," said Maj. Ed Thomas of the North American Aerospace Defense Command. "The aircraft all complied with instructions and landed."
In the week leading up to the Winter Games, a dozen small planes were intercepted by U.S. Customs Service helicopters for entering the no-fly zone above the Olympic Village.
In all the cases, officials said, pilots were simply unaware of the airspace restrictions or had failed to go through security checks at gateway airports before approaching Salt Lake City.
"Basically, they're pilot-education issues," Thomas said. "As much as we've tried to get out the word, inevitably some aircraft checked out."
The fighter jet interceptions came after restricted airspace was expanded Friday to a radius of 45 miles around the Salt Lake airport.
SLOC coordinator arrested for alleged drunken driving
Jan Van de Roemer, 44, was off duty at the time. He was arrested after failing a field sobriety test, said Utah Highway Patrol spokesman Doug McCleve.
Van de Roemer was booked into Salt Lake County jail on Sunday morning. A breathalyzer test at the jail showed his blood alcohol content was over the legal limit, McCleve said.
"Obviously, driving under the influence is unacceptable for an employee of our organization," said Mitt Romney, SLOC president.
Romney said the man was a recent hire. He would not say if Van de Roemer was fired, but said "appropriate disciplinary action" was taken Sunday afternoon.
McCleve said the man appeared to have no prior arrests.
Author Wallechinsky among four receiving Olympic Order
The American author was among four recipients of the Olympic Order announced by the International Olympic Committee.
Others were veteran U.S. Olympic Committee member Irwin Belk, Australian Olympic Committee vice president Peter Montgomery and IOC medical commission member Dr. Eduardo Henrique de Rose.
It was the second batch of honors from the IOC during its stay in Salt Lake City for the Winter Games. Last week, Eunice Kennedy Shriver received the award for her work with the Special Olympics.
The order is awarded to those who illustrate the Olympic values through their achievements and contributions to sports.
Center handles problems big and small -- mostly small so far
Shaw helps run Olympic organizers' 24-hour operations center, which monitors every major aspect of the games, from crowd control and weather at Olympic venues to complaints from IOC officials and Olympic sponsors.
He's Mr. Fix-It when the IOC wants more highways signs for Olympic venues or drop-off privileges at the Olympic Plaza.
The Main Operations Center occupies a corner of the 17th floor of a downtown office tower with a full view of the Wasatch Mountains. Here, before computer screens and a bank of televisions that can show 500 different camera positions, Salt Lake organizers, city officials, weather forecasters and FBI and Secret Service agents are keeping close tabs on the games.
For the first two days of the Olympics, a large screen that lists organizers' major problems was headed by the Italians' missing luggage.
No major crisis has plagued organizers' "mothership" so far. But Fraser Bullock, SLOC's chief operating officer, said "little nits and gnats" keep them busy constantly. For instance:
Muehlegg misses important royal phone call
Muehlegg was in the drug testing area at the time.
He won the gold medal in the 30-meter cross-country, only Spain's third medal ever in the Winter Games and its second gold.
"I'm really sorry I missed the call, but it was a tremendous honor that he tried," said Muehlegg.
He did receive a telegram from the king saying, "This is a very important victory for Spanish sports."
Condo flag display draws complaint
Two Taiwanese flags instead brought complaints and a visit from Chinese diplomats.
Although Taiwan competes in the Olympic Games, its national flag is banned at events under a long-established agreement to placate China.
Officials from China's Washington embassy visited the complex, about a half mile from the Olympics medals plaza, and asked that the Taiwanese flags be removed.
"It took a couple of times for them to understand that this is private residence, not a government building," resident Annetta Mower said. "We thought the idea of the flags was exciting. We had no idea that it would raise any kind of controversy."
Mower said residents do not intend to remove any flags.
Embassy First Secretary Dizhong Huang said Chinese officials, recognizing the right of private citizens in the United States to fly any flag they want, will not pursue a complaint.

The Social Security tax combines with the Medicare tax to form what is known as FICA, or the payroll tax. As of 2010, the Social Security tax rate was 6.2% and the Medicare tax rate was 1.45%. The total payroll tax of 7.65% is deducted from the employee's paycheck; the employer must make a matching contribution of an additional 7.65%. The employee effectively pays the entire tax, as the employer's matching requirement reduces what he is able to pay his employees. Thus, Social Security represents a tax of 12.4% on the employee in addition to Medicare taxes, federal income taxes, state and local income taxes, sales taxes and numerous other less-noticed taxes.
