As always, Sporting News' weekly Field of 68 is a projection of what the NCAA Tournament selection committee would do based on what's happened so far this season.
Note: Automatic bids, listed in parenthesis, are given tot he team with the fewest conference losses (through Sunday's games). In the case of ties, the designation is given to the team with the best Pomeroy rating. RPI numbers are from CBSSports.com.
Arizona. 27-2, 14-2 Pac 12. Rankings: RPI 1, Pomeroy 1. Last week: 1 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 10-1. Need to know: The Wildcats are pretty much locked into a No. 1 seed. No, scratch that. They're definitely locked into a No. 1 seed. Their resume is stellar, and they've proven that they've moved past the potentially devastating Brandon Ashley injury.
Florida. 27-2, 16-0 SEC. Rankings: RPI 3, Pomeroy 4. Last week: 1 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 5-2. Need to know: As long as the Gators avoid an upset at South Carolina on Tuesday, they'll join the Wildcats as top-line locks. Florida is undefeated in SEC play, and if the Gators beat Kentucky at home in the regular-season finale, they won't need to win the SEC Tournament to finish as a No. 1 seed.
Wichita State. 31-0, 18-0 Missouri Valley. Rankings: RPI 6, Pomeroy 6. Last week: 1 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 3-0. Need to know: After completing their incredibly impressive undefeated regular season, the Shockers should have wrapped up a No. 1 seed. If they win the Missouri Valley Tournament, they definitely will be on the top line.
Wisconsin. 22-5, 9-5 Big Ten. Rankings: RPI 5, Pomeroy 10. Last week: 2 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 9-3. Need to know: Think what you will about the legitimacy of the RPI, but when a selection committee member asks to see a list of how teams did against RPI top 50 teams, the Badgers will be third (with nine wins), behind only Kansas (12) and Arizona (10). To give the Pomeroy ratings equal measure, Wisconsin has 14 wins vs. Pom top 60 teams. Add that to an overall strength of schedule of RPI 2, noncon wins against Florida, Virginia (on the road) and Saint Louis (neutral) and the Badgers are the fourth No. 1 this week.
Syracuse. 26-3, 13-3 ACC. Rankings: RPI 7, Pomeroy 11. Last week: 1 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 7-2. Need to know: Syracuse still has a very legitimate opportunity to land on the No. 1 seed line on Selection Sunday, but the path isn't easy. The Orange play at a desperate Florida State team in the regular-season finale, then head to the ACC Tournament where they could potentially play Virginia, Duke and/or North Carolina, three hot teams.
Kansas. 21-6, 12-2 Big 12. Rankings: RPI 2, Pomeroy 9. Last week: 2 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 12-7. Need to know: The Jayhawks, as always, have a fascinating resume. Their collection of victories, in and out of the rugged Big 12, is beyond reproach — 16 top 100 wins, including a neutral-court Duke kicker — but they've lost seven times, including Saturday at Oklahoma State. That's a ton for a potential No. 1 seed.
Villanova.26-3, 14-2 Big East. Rankings: RPI 4, Pomeroy 8. Last week: 2 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-3. Need to know: The Wildcats have an excellent resume (SOS RPI 26, 13 RPI top 100 wins, including neutral-court wins vs. Kansas and Iowa), but getting crushed by Creighton twice hurts their chances of landing a No. 1 seed. If they beat Xavier and Georgetown this week and win the Big East Tournament, though, they'll be hard to deny.
Virginia. 25-5, 16-1 ACC. Rankings: RPI 10, Pomeroy 2. Last week: 3 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-5. Need to know: Admit it, the Cavaliers clinching the top ACC seed before the final week is one of the season's true surprises. With only one true "elite" win (Syracuse), though, winning the ACC tournament is a must to get into the No. 1 seed conversation.
Duke. 23-6, 12-4 ACC. Rankings: RPI 9, Pomeroy 3. Last week: 3 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 5-4. Need to know: Four of Duke's losses (KU, Arizona, UNC, Syracuse) are to teams that will be top-five seeds. The problem is that the other two (Notre Dame, Clemson) are to teams that won't make the tournament at all. That will keep them out of the No. 1 seed discussion, and makes the final vs. UNC and the ACC Tournament pretty important for seeding purposes.
Creighton. 23-5, 13-3 Big East. Rankings: RPI 8, Pomeroy 7. Last week: 2 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 5-3. Need to know: The loss last week to Xavier helped secure the Musketeers' spot in the NCAA Tournament, and the Bluejays face Georgetown and Providence this week, two teams that would love to duplicate Xavier's feat.
Michigan. 21-7, 13-3 Big Ten. Rankings: RPI 12, Pomeroy 13. Last week: 3 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 8-5. Need to know: Who expected this Michigan team to have a two-game Big Ten lead? Nobody, so gonna hijack this note to talk about how huge the regular-season finale is for Indiana. Suddenly, the Hoosiers have wins against Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio State, and a shot at seriously getting into the at-large conversation. A sweep of the Wolverines might just make that happen.
San Diego State. 25-3, 14-2 Mountain West. Rankings: RPI 22, Pomeroy 28. Last week: 4 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-2. Need to know: The Aztecs have just two RPI top 50 wins, but they're great wins — neutral court vs. Creighton, on the road at Kansas. There's not much depth, though — 18 of the 25 wins are against teams ranked worse than RPI 100.
Michigan State. 22-7, 11-5 Big Ten. Rankings: RPI 23, Pomeroy 20. Last week: 3 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 6-4. Need to know: Forget about a top-three seed. Barring a Big Ten Tournament title, that's not going to happen. I know, injuries and such, but the Spartans have just been too inconsistent, a pattern highlighted by Saturday's stunning home loss to Illinois. They haven't won back-to-back games since mid-January.
Cincinnati. 24-5, 13-3 AAC. Rankings: RPI 16, Pomeroy 18. Last week: 4 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 5-5. Need to know: The Bearcats have lost their last two games, vs. Louisville and at UConn. That makes Thursday's game at home against Memphis pretty important for seeding purposes.
North Carolina. 22-7, 12-4 ACC. Rankings: RPI 21, Pomeroy 22. Last week: 6 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: Need to know: The Tar Heels' winning streak has reached 11 games and includes wins against Duke, Pittsburgh and Florida State. The schizophrenic season seems a thing of the distant past, though losses to Belmont, UAB and Wake Forest will likely keep the Tar Heels' ceiling at a 3/4 seed, even if they beat Duke in the regular-season finale and win the ACC Tournament.
Louisville. 24-5, 13-3 AAC. Rankings: RPI 29, Pomeroy 5. Last week: 5 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-5. Need to know: The Cardinals' eventual seed will not jive with their spot in the polls. Why? Because the Cardinals are 5-5 vs. RPI top 100 teams, 8-0 against teams with an RPI between 100-200 and 11-0 against teams worse than RPI 200. The committee will not reward a team for playing such an awful schedule. Bank on that.
UCLA. 21-6, 10-4 Pac-12. Rankings: RPI 19, Pomeroy 16. Last week: 5 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 5-4. Need to know: The loss to Oregon without Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams won't make much of a difference to UCLA's seed. Avoid an upset in road games this week at Washington and Washington State is key to a decent spot on Selection Sunday.
Texas. 121-8, 10-6 Big 12. Rankings: RPI 24, Pomeroy 39. Last week: 6 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 7-8. Need to know: Yes, the Longhorns have lost three of four, but those three losses were at Iowa State, Kansas and Oklahoma. Zero shame in losing those games. Texas has a very solid resume, and that noncon win at North Carolina looks better every day.
Iowa. 19-7, 8-5 Big Ten. Rankings: RPI 39, Pomeroy 12. Last week: 5 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-8. Need to know: The Hawkeyes look like a Final Four contender at times — though not much lately — but they're just 1-6 vs. RPI top 25 teams. Their three-game losing skid pretty much eliminated any shot at a top-four seed.
Saint Louis. 25-4, 12-2 Atlantic 10. Rankings: RPI 17, Pomeroy 30. Last week: 4 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-3. Need to know: The Billikens had an awful week. First, they were tripped up at home by a sub-.500 team (really, that happened) and then they were steamrolled at VCU. This week — vs. Dayton, at UMass — is big for seeding purposes.
Connecticut. 21-6, 9-5 AAC. Rankings: RPI 26, Pomeroy 25. Last week: 7 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-5. Need to know: The Huskies still could climb into a top-four seed, though 5-6-7 is more likely. Winning at Louisville this weekend is a must for the Huskies to wind up in the 4-5 range.
New Mexico. 23-5, 14-2 Mountain West. Rankings: RPI 14, Pomeroy 32. Last week: 6 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-2. Need to know: The Lobos have a chance to sweep the regular-season series with San Diego State on Saturday; that would be, obviously, a big boost for their seeding potential.
Oklahoma. 21-8, 10-6 Big 12. Rankings: RPI 20, Pomeroy 31. Last week: 7 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 8-5. Need to know: With wins this week against West Virginia and TCU, the Sooners could finish second in the Big 12 (they're in a four-way tie at the moment).
VCU. 22-7, 10-4 Atlantic 10. Rankings: RPI 15, Pomeroy 17. Last week: 8 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-4. Need to know: The computer numbers are excellent, and the win Saturday against Saint Louis was impressive, but VCU is just 7-6 against RPI top 100 teams. Hard to see that getting rewarded with a seed on the four or five line.
Kentucky. 21-8, 11-5 SEC. Rankings: RPI 18, Pomeroy 24. Last week: 4 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-4. Need to know: The Wildcats completely collapsed at South Carolina, placing an unwanted spotlight on their less-than-stellar resume. The 2-4 record vs. RPI top 50 teams (3-6 vs. Pom top 50) is pretty anemic. They're not in danger of missing the tournament, but they're not a threat to steal a top-three seed, either.
Kansas State. 18-9, 8-6 Big 12. Rankings: RPI 36, Pomeroy 42. Last week: 8 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 7-5. Need to know: The Wildcats added yet another quality win last week (vs. Iowa State), but with a handful of losses to non-NCAA teams (Charlotte, Northern Colorado, West Virginia), the Wildcats aren't going to get a great seed.
SMU. 23-6, 12-4 AAC. Rankings: RPI 41, Pomeroy 19. Last week: 8 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-3. Need to know: The Mustangs host Louisville and play at Memphis this week; a sweep would lift them comfortably out of the 8/9 game.
Ohio State. 22-8, 9-8 Big Ten. Rankings: RPI 27, Pomeroy 14. Last week: 6 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-4. Need to know: Just when it looked like the Buckeyes had stabilized, they lost road games at Penn State and Indiana last week. Like Kentucky, they're not in danger of missing the tournament, but losses like these crush their shot at a decent seed.
Memphis. 22-7, 11-5 AAC. Rankings: RPI 32, Pomeroy 43. Last week: 7 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-6. Need to know: After narrowly avoiding losses to Rutgers and Temple, the Tigers lost on the road against a Houston team that was under .500 entering the game. And then, of course, Memphis beat Louisville. Go figure.
Arizona State. 19-8, 8-6 Pac 12. Rankings: RPI 28, Pomeroy 34. Last week: 9 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-5. Need to know: After not-very-competitive road losses at Colorado and Utah, the Sun Devils beat Stanford by a dozen and then crushed California at home last week. They're just 2-5 on the road in Pac-12 action, and play at Oregon and Oregon State this week. Getting swept would be bad (duh).
Massachusetts. 22-6, 9-5 Atlantic 10. Rankings: RPI 13, Pomeroy 48. Last week: 7 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 5-2. Need to know: The Minutemen still have eight nonconference wins against teams in the RPI top 100, and that will keep them solidly in the at-large field.
Xavier. 20-9, 10-6 Big East. Rankings: RPI 37, Pomeroy 41. Last week: 10 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 3-4. Need to know: The Musketeers had the type of week bubble teams dream of; they won on the road against a bubble team (St. John's) and knocked off a top-four seed (Creighton) at home. Xavier is solidly in the field, and that's not changing.
Oklahoma State. 19-10, 7-9 Big 12. Rankings: RPI 44, Pomeroy 27. Last week: 9 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-9. Need to know: Obviously, the win at home against Kansas Saturday was huge. Enormous. Still, it would be a good idea not to lose both games this week, at home against Kansas State and at Iowa State.
George Washington.21-7, 9-5 Atlantic 10. Rankings: RPI 31, Pomeroy 44. Last week: 9 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-5. Need to know: The neutral-court win against Creighton in December anchors GW's resume, along with a home win against VCU. Aside from those two, a 6-2 mark against RPI 50-100 teams is solid, too.
Stanford. 18-10, 9-7 Pac-12. Rankings: RPI 42, Pomeroy 37. Last week: 8 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-7. Need to know: Stanford is closing in on the first NCAA bid of coach Johnny Dawkins' tenure with the team, but losing road games at Arizona State and Arizona by double digits last week didn't do anything to wrap up that bid. The Cardinal has tough home games this week against Colorado and Utah, two teams that could use big wins.
Baylor. 19-10, 7-9 Big 12. Rankings: RPI 46, Pomeroy 38. Last week: 10 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 6-8. Need to know: Yes, the Bears had a rough stretch. But they have six RPI top 50 wins (including Kentucky, Dayton and Colorado in the noncon portion) and a SOS of RPI 10. That's better than other bubble teams can offer at the moment.
Arkansas. 20-9, 9-7 SEC. Rankings: RPI 58, Pomeroy 47. Last week: on the bubble. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-3. Need to know: All of a sudden, the Razorbacks have won five in a row, three of their past four on the road and have a season sweep of Kentucky. Plus, that November win against SMU looks great now.
Colorado. 20-9, 9-7 Pac-12. Rankings: RPI 30, Pomeroy 65. Last week: 9 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 3-7. Need to know: If the Buffaloes lose both games this week — a real possibility, at Stanford and at California — they're in serious danger of missing the tournament. That would make them 6-9 without Spencer Dinwiddie, with only two decent wins (Utah and Arizona State).
Pittsburgh. 22-7, 10-6 ACC. Rankings: RPI 45, Pomeroy 15. Last week: 10 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 1-6. Need to know: The absolute best element of Pitt's resume is that the Panthers don't have a bad loss. Other than that? Nada. Bupkis. There are 69 teams with more RPI top 50 wins and 225 teams with a better nonconference strength of schedule. Yikes.
Saint Joseph's. 21-7, 11-3 Atlantic 10. Rankings: RPI 34, Pomeroy 53. Last week: 12 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-6. Need to know: The Hawks didn't do anything in the nonconference portion of the schedule (best win is Vermont), but wins against VCU and UMass, combined with the overall weakness of the bubble, is enough for a spot this week.
Oregon. 20-8, 8-8 Pac 12. Rankings: RPI 40, Pomeroy 37. Last week: 12 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-5. Need to know: The Ducks have won five in a row, including a victory against a UCLA team that was missing its two best players. They host Arizona and Arizona State this week, and splitting those games will probably be enough to get them into the tournament, barring an early Pac-12 Tournament exit.
Gonzaga. 23-6, 13-3 West Coast. Rankings: RPI 25, Pomeroy 21. Last week: 11 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 1-4. Need to know: The Bulldogs have more losses to RPI 150+ teams (two) than wins vs. RPI top 50 teams (one). They are in serious danger of missing an at-large bid, even in this year with a weak bubble. Winning the WCC Tournament, of course, would make this all academic.
California. 18-11, 9-7 Pac-12. Rankings: RPI 53, Pomeroy 64. Last week: 10 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 3-9. Need to know: The Bears have an excellent resume kicker — the win against previously undefeated Arizona — but that's their only win since early January against a team even remotely on the bubble. They weren't competitive in losses at Arizona and Arizona State last week and are very much in danger of winding up in the NIT.
Tennessee. 18-11, 9-7 SEC. Rankings: RPI 48, Pomeroy 23. Last week: on the bubble. Record vs. RPI top 50: 2-5 Need to know: Tennessee's resume is hanging on nonconference wins against Xavier and Virginia that look better now than they did a few weeks ago. On the other hand, getting swept by Texas A&M in SEC play is rough. The regular-season finale at home against Missouri is huge for both teams.
Georgetown. 16-12, 7-9 Big East. Rankings: RPI 64, Pomeroy 58. Last week: 12 seed. Record vs. RPI top 50: 4-5. Need to know: The Hoyas have plenty of losses on the resume, but it's a weak bubble, and they own wins over four teams in this week's Field of 68 (K-State, VCU, Michigan State and Xavier), plus bubble teams Providence and St. John's.
Minnesota. 18-12, 7-10 Big Ten. Rankings: RPI 47, Pomeroy 54. Last week: on the bubble. Record vs. RPI top 50: 3-7. Need to know: The Golden Gophers have high-quality wins against Wisconsin and Iowa, but they're just 5-10 against RPI top 100 teams overall. Plus, they've lost to three non-bubble teams (Northwestern, Illinois and Purdue).
No. 13 seeds: Harvard (Ivy), Iona (MAAC), Stephen F. Austin (Southland), North Dakota State (Summit)
No. 14 seeds:UC Irvine (Big West), Delaware (Colonial), Belmont (Ohio Valley), Utah Valley (WAC)
No. 15 seeds: Vermont (America East), Boston (Patriot), Robert Morris (Northeast), Davidson (Southern)
No. 16 seeds: North Carolina Central (MEAC), Georgia State (Sun Belt), Weber State (Big Sky), High Point (Big South), Mercer (Atlantic Sun), Texas Southern (Southwestern)
New this week: Arkansas, Buffalo, Louisiana Tech, Minnesota, Tennessee, UC Irvine, Utah Valley
Dropped out: Middle Tennessee, Missouri, New Mexico State, Providence, St. John's, Toledo, UC Santa Barbara

It's Time To Ditch The Consumer Price Index (CPI)Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/17/2014 17:12 -0400
That the official rate of inflation doesn't reflect reality is obvious to anyone paying college tuition and healthcare out of pocket. The debate over the accuracy of the official consumer price index (CPI) and personal consumption expenditures (PCE--the so-called core rate of inflation) has raged for years, with no resolution in sight. So why does the government maintain such a transparently inaccurate and misleading metric? For three reasons.

Enlightened Self Interest and Financial Industry Hypocrisy - Chapter Two of ThreeSubmitted by Cognitive Dissonance on 04/16/2014 13:27 -0400

"The Next America" - Two Dramas In Slow MotionSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2014 15:45 -0400
That America has - or perhaps more accurately that the administration is desperate to create - a wealth divide, gender divide, and certainly ethnic divide, is hardly a secret. Yet all of those may pale in comparison to the transformation that the US is undergoing currently, according to the most recent Pew research study, one which finds that the world's one time superpower, is in the midst of two slow-motion dramas right now. "Our population is becoming majority non-white at the same time a record share is going gray. Each of these shifts would by itself be the defining demographic story of its era. The fact that both are unfolding simultaneously has generated big generation gaps that will put stress on our politics, families, pocketbooks, entitlement programs and social cohesion.

1% Of US Doctors Account For Over $10 Billion Of Medicare BillingsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/09/2014 09:14 -0400
The top 1% of 825,000 individual medical providers accounted for 14% of the $77 billion in medicare billing in 2012, according to new federal data reported by the WSJ. The data shows a very small number of doctors and medical providers account for a huge amount of the costs for treating the elderly and, as WSJ notes, suggest in some cases, may be enriching themselves in the process. As Bloomberg notes, one doctor, who treats degenerative eye disease in seniors, was paid $21 million (twice the 2nd highest paid doctor on the list) with some top earners making 100 times the average for their respective fields. One researcher summed it up, "There's all sorts of services that are low-value for patients, high-revenue to providers," and leaves us wondering, once again, how the government will manage as Obamacare's "success" washes ashore.

David Stockman's "Born Again Jobs Scam": The Ugly Truth Behind "Jobs Friday"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/08/2014 20:06 -0400
The mainstream recovery narrative has an astounding "recency bias". According to all the CNBC talking heads, the 192,000 NFP jobs gain reported on Friday constituted another "strong" report card. Well, let's see. Approximately 75 months ago (December 2007) at the cyclical peak before the so-called Great Recession, the BLS reported 138.4 million NFP jobs. When the hosanna chorus broke into song last Friday, the reported figure was 137.9 million NFP jobs. By the lights of old-fashioned subtraction, therefore, we are still 500k jobs short—notwithstanding $3.5 trillion of money printing in the interim. The truth is, all the ballyhooed "new jobs" celebrated on bubblevision month-after-month have actually been "born again" jobs. That is, jobs which were created during the Fed's 2002-2007 bubble inflation; lost in the aftermath of the September 2008 meltdown; and then "recovered" during the renewed bubble inflation now underway.

It took Virtu's idiot algos some time to process that the lack of BOJ stimulus is not bullish for more BOJ stimulus - something that has been priced in since October and which sent the USDJPY up from 97.000 to 105.000 in a few months, but it finally sank in when BOJ head Kuroda explicitly stated overnight that there is "no need to add stimulus now." That, and the disappointing news from China that the middle kingdom too has no plans for a major stimulus, as we reported last night, were the final straws that forced the USDJPY to lose the tractor-beamed 103.000 "fundamental level", tripping the countless sell stops just below it, and slid 50 pips lower as of this moment to overnight lows at the 102.500 level, in turn dragging US but mostly European equity futures with it, and the Dax was last seen tripping stops below 9400.

Payrolls Preview: If Lavorgna Is Right, Citi Fears Asset Markets Will React BadlySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/03/2014 20:58 -0400
Goldman Sachs forecasts a 200k increase in non-farm payrolls for March - in line with consensus - and believe last month's 175k print supports the ongoing positive trend (in light of the weather effect). Key employment indicators looked mixed-to-better in March, and despite the continued cold temperatures, less extreme weather conditions overall should give an additional boost to job gains this month. Citi suggests the weather could have knocked 172k off payrolls overall from Dec to Jan and are more hopeful, expecting a 240k print. Their biggest fear, a greater than 275k print (which is the high bar that Joe Lavorgna has set) could see asset markets reacting badly (on the basis of quicker Fed tightening).

Guest Post: The Obamacare Ship Of FoolsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2014 17:17 -0400
It was so fitting that Obama sauntered into the Rose Garden on April Fools day to proclaim the wonderful success of Obamacare. We are the fools for allowing this fool and his fellow fools in Congress to further bankrupt our country with this disastrous government run clusterf*ck. Their is so much propaganda, spin, disinformation and outright lies circulating in the captured mainstream media that the dumbed down, distracted, disinterested American populace believe the sound bites from Obama and the talking heads on MSNBC and the rest of the Obama loving media. You may have noticed the non-stop 30 second ads trying to convince iGadget addicted morons to sign up for Obamacare over the last three months, building to a crescendo in the last few weeks. Let's assess the tremendous success the Savior was blustering about yesterday. He sold the plan to the American public back in 2009 with a number of promises.

A List Of 97 Taxes Americans Pay Every YearSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2014 22:05 -0400
If you are like most Americans, paying taxes is one of your pet peeves. The deadline to file your federal taxes is coming up, and this year Americans will spend more than 7 billion hours preparing their taxes. When the federal income tax was originally introduced a little more than 100 years ago, most Americans were taxed at a rate of only 1 percent. But once they get their feet in the door, the social planners always want more. Since that time, tax rates have gone much higher and the tax code has exploded in size. Why do we have to have the most convoluted tax system in the history of the planet?

The US Is Now Spending 26% Of Available Tax Revenue To Pay InterestSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2014 19:05 -0400
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that an unsustainable debt burden soundly tolls the death knell of a nation's economy, and its government. Unfortunately, it can sometimes take a rocket scientist to figure out what the real numbers are; governments have a vested interest in not being transparent about their debts and interest payments. Obligations are obligations, no matter who they're owed to. Taking this into account, total US interest payments in Fiscal Year 2013 were a whopping $415 billion... This means they actually spent approximately 26% of their available tax revenue just to pay interest last year.. much higher than the 1868 Ottoman Empire at the end of its reign...

"The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war. Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind's willingness to use it."
The core elements of this Fourth Turning continue to propel this Crisis: debt, civic decay, global disorder. Central bankers, politicians, and government bureaucrats have been able to fashion the illusion of recovery and return to normalcy, but their "solutions" are nothing more than smoke and mirrors exacerbating the next bloodier violent stage of this Fourth Turning. The emergencies will become increasingly dire, triggering unforeseen reactions and unintended consequences. The civic fabric of our society will be torn asunder.

Bobby Brown Wanted Bobbi Kristina to Appear on His Reality Show
How did Bobby Brown find out about Bobbi Kristina and the Houston family's reality show?
The same way the rest of us did.
How did Bobby Brown find out about Bobbi Kristina and the Houston family's reality show?
The same way the rest of us did.
Since Whitney Houston's death nearly four months ago, there has been a lot of drama behind the scenes with the surviving family. Now viewers will be able to get an inside look at how they are coping with the loss of the late pop icon and how they are moving forward with their lives.
Have the late Whitney Houston's bad habits rubbed off on her teenage daughter, Bobbi Kristina? Just a week ago, news surfaced that the Houston family tried to stage an intervention for 19-year-0ld Bobbi Kristina --Whitney's only child and father Bobby Brown's fourth child -- and now a video of the future reality star has surfaced, showing Bobbi smoking marijuana while visiting a college in Statesboro, Ga.
Bobbi Kristina Brown is on her way to recovering since the shocking death of her mother, Whitney Houston, in February. The 19-year-old reportedly has a reality show in the works documenting her life since Houston's passing.
Whitney Houston's family is so worried about daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown's health that they attempted to stage an intervention. Did it work?
Bobbi Kristina Brown snagged an acting gig! We're happy to share some good news about the 19-year-old instead of more tragic tales about the passing of her mother, Whitney Houston.
We doubt this will go over well. Whitney Houston's ex husband, Bobby Brown, is shopping a biopic around -- and reports say he wants his estranged daughter, Bobbi Kristina, to costar with him in it.
Another day, another strange update in the love life of Bobbi Kristina Brown and her adopted brother, Nicholas Gordon. More details are emerging on her alleged engagement ring -- it belonged to her mother, Whitney Houston.
Whoa! Shortly after Bobbi Kristina public with her relationship with adopted brother Nicholas Gordon, rumors are abound that the pair are gearing up to tie the knot.
There's more drama coming down the pike for Bobbi Kristina and her reported boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who just so happens to be her late mother Whitney Houston's unofficially "adopted" son. We know, we know, what a tangled mess. Allegedly, Houston's mother and BK's grandmother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, is not happy about the PDA-filled romance between the two.

Hilleberg Akto 1 Person Tent
This brand DOES NOT qualify for the 20% off deal. Please don't hate us.
The Hilleberg Akto 1 Person Tent is a solo tent for all season protection on backpacking trips. The tent weighs in at two pounds and thirteen ounces while packing down super small, fitting in most side pockets on backpacks. Boasting an inner tent area of 18.3 feet squared, you'll have enough elbow room for sitting and sleeping with a vestibule for gear. Enjoy a spacious rest after trekking 15 plus miles a day. The name "Akto" fits your solo adventures, meaning "alone" in the Sami language. Don't worry, the beauty of nature and that cute mountain lion will be with you too.
FEATURES of the Hilleberg Akto 1 Person Tent
- The Akto has true all-season capability, yet its total weight is only 1.6 kg/3 lbs 8 oz Our tunnel design and linked inner and outer tents makes it very simple and quick to set up, and provides a high degree of stability in all conditions
- Thee single pole offers full sitting height in the middle of the tent, while sturdy fiberg lass rod sin the corners of the outer tent provide extra height, eliminating the claustrophobia that many solo tents engender
- The Akto has plenty of room for one occupant and his or her gear
- Pitching requires only four pegs - one for each of the corner guy lines - yet an additional six points provide more options for increasing stability.

I am a big fan of Hilleberg. This is not my first Hilleberg tent. However, it is the first one I have ordered from an independent retailer and not directly from Hilleberg. I got a little discount but now I know why. The Hilleberg site says you should expect some variation in color shades. I got a black tent that is supposed to be green. Would be great for Doomsday but I think there is a good reason companies don't sell black tents. Should be quite the heat seeker:( Hilleberg must send the off colors to other companies. I am very disappointed and may consider a different brand and company in the future. Wish I could add some pictures. The pics tell a good story.

Just took this tent out this past weekend for the first time and it is AWESOME. I was a little worried I would feel cramped but it was very roomy (I am 6ft, 1in 210lbs my mom says I am just big boned). The ventilation options are numerous and the vestibule very big. I am definitely going to get the inner mesh for summer trips!
The akto is by far the best choice for lightweight 4 season adventures and can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. This tent is made from extremely durable "kerlon 1200" which has a tear strength of 26.5lbs. The roof is 36inches high which gives you quite a bit of headroom for a 4 season tent that only weighs 3lbs 12oz (packed). I have used this tent backpacking/car camping and have never been disappointed. It's also one of the most breathable tents I've ever owned which allows it to perform flawlessly in wet conditions. After 100+ nights of use (non consecutive) it shows absolutely no signs of wear. You cant go wrong with a Hillberg.
Bought the tent in 2011, in red (more sexy, easier to find). Quality workmanship. Despite its size it is roomy inside, and I (189 cm) can sit up inside the tent. There is also a good space for the bags in the vestibule. The tent is very stable, and cabn handle any weather.You have to be aware of condensation in colder weather. But if you open the zippers at the foot and head end, pluss at the top of the inner and outer tent door there are no problems. Be sure to have enough airflow.
Bought this tent for a high country elk hunt in colorado. At 10,700ft is sept, it had terrible condensation, sleeping bag foot end would get wet, inner tent has massive droop. Nothing worse than trying to wriggle out of a tiny tent in the morning. Vestibule is small, can not seem to get the pitch right (tension wise). It did hold up to rain and wind, if I would have known better from the start I would have spent the extra 300 bucks for a nallo. Don't get me wrong, hille's are awesome tents, just got a sour taste using this one in the back country in conditions that were fair.
Great tent easy to set up even in wind and inside stays dry when setting up in the rain, I would reccomend taking a mallet or hatchet to drive in the stakes in hard ground. The outside colors are much darker than in the online pictures the green is like a dark forest green the zipper loops are large which helps when you have gloves on enough room for me to sit up in the middle (I'm 6`0) a lot or space for a solo tent and plenty of foot room meaning your feet nor head will touch the ends of the tent. The guy lines are very simple and don't get tangled up in the stuff sack like other tents I've used every detail of the tent is of the highest quality and you can tell a lot of thought was put into every aspect.
Great light weight tent bright interior. Outside colors are much darker than the online pictures I got the green which is really a dark forest green. Setup was easy from the first time I would suggest bringing a mallet or hatchet to make driving the stakes in easier in harder ground. Big zipper loops make it easy to zip/unzip with gloves on, dry pitching in the rain/wind is fairly easy worth the high price tag. Plus calling in your order with moosejaw is easy and fun no boring on hold music in stead speeches from WWII which is a classy touch. Would highly reccomend this tent to your mother.
I was pretty surprised on how light it was and how easy it was to setup. Two main things to look for in a tent for hiking the Appalachian Trail. Also, quality of the tent is top notch. The price of the tent is steep, but it is worth every penny. This tent will last years and yearts plus Hilleberg gives their tents a limited lifetime warranty.
Everything looks well thought out. I own a single wall which I dislike because of the condensation, this double wall should help alot. The Akto is also about a foot longer, I really disliked my toes and head constantly hitting the frost on the ends of the "other" tent. Just got it though, I'm not sure why you don't wait a month or so to ask for a review.
It's a classic 1 person tent although the price is high.Worth to buy! Need to figure out how to make it up just like the picture,seems a little hard for me....EVEREST STATUS
This tent is a great 1 person tent. It is very lightweight and easy to setup. It is the the quality you would expect from Hilleberg. It fits easily in your backpack and is very roomy if you are not too tall. It has been holding up also very well in windy conditions. I am very happy indeed with the tent.

Queen spends day at races as jubilee events begin
LONDON It was a royal day at the races, as Queen Elizabeth II watched a horse with the courtly name of Camelot win the Epsom Derby on Saturday - the kickoff to a four-day celebration of the British monarch's 60 years on the throne.
Later in the weekend the queen will make a trip down the River Thames, and then take in a concert - all accompanied by tens of thousands of her subjects, coming out to fete a monarch whose longevity has given her the status of the nation's favorite grandmother.
An armada of vessels - from historic sailboats and barges to kayaks, lifeboats and military launches - was mustering along the Thames ahead of Sunday's river pageant. The queen aboard the royal barge will lead the flotilla of 1,000 boats - described by organizers as the biggest gathering on the river for 350 years.
Diamond Jubilee festivities officially began Saturday with a 41-gun salute fired by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery at Horse Guards Parade in central London.
The 86-year-old monarch and her husband, Prince Philip, visited Epsom racecourse south of the capital for the Derby, one of the year's biggest horse-racing meetings. The queen waved to the 130,000-strong crowd as she was driven down the racecourse in a Bentley bearing the Royal Standard - the car's sun roof kept shut under gray skies - before settling down to watch the races from the royal box.
Dressed in a royal blue coat and matching hat over a blue-and-white floral dress, the queen was accompanied by members of the royal family including her sons Prince Andrew and Prince Edward and Andrew's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The royals were treated to an aerial display by members of the British Army's Red Devils parachute team before the main event - the racing.
The monarch is a racing fan and horse breeder who has attended the Derby for decades and reads the Racing Post each day over breakfast, although unlike many of her subjects she does not gamble.
The queen presented prizes to some of the race winners and spoke intently to jockeys and trainers
"She's incredibly knowledgeable. Her knowledge of thoroughbreds and breeding goes way back," said Anthony Cane, chairman of Epsom Downs Racecourse.
The queen took the throne in 1952 on the death of her father, King George VI, and most Britons have known no other monarch.
Despite cool, damp weather in much of the country, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to participate in celebrations, including street parties, Sunday's flotilla and a Monday pop concert in front of Buckingham Palace featuring Elton John and Paul McCartney.
Jubilee events end Tuesday with a religious service at St. Paul's Cathedral, a carriage procession through the streets of London and the queen's appearance with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on the palace balcony.
Prime Minister David Cameron - the 12th British leader of the queen's reign - paid tribute to the monarch's "extraordinary level of physical energy, mental energy, and above all devotion to her people, to the institutions of this country, to the way our democracy works."

how to hang curtains accross large span
I'm thinking of hanging some outdoor curtains from my covered patio to block the western sun in the afternoon. I prefer to not build a wall or lattice, and I don't want the hassle of outdoor roller blinds. I found some panels made for outdoors that will work, but I am unsure of how to hang them. The span is about 20 feet, and I need them be pushed all to one side when not in use, so I cant' just mount multiple curtain rods. The curtains have grommets, so I need something rather thin that will fit through the grommet holes. (I hope this makes sense.)
Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe somehow joining 2 10-foot lengths of conduit piping? Or, hanging them from a thick cable? The problem is not being able to use mounting hardware to support the middle of a rod (curtains need to be able to slide accross the entire span).
hmmm, you've given me an idea for covered porch at farmhouse.
DH actually did use conduit once to make me a rod for a really wide window, worked just fine. (Couldn't find a curtain rod long enough.) It was covered in fabric, no one ever knew it was a pipe and not a curtain rod. But I bet you could find thin conduit or piping (copper plumbing?) in your 20' length. The copper could look cool outside. Or the cable is an excellent idea as well.
Nccmama, you can find long curtain rods and special sliding rings at some locations. They wouldn't work with your grommet curtains though, since the rings and passing brackets have special slide-by cutouts.
I don't think a cable would work, as it would sag and drive you bananas. Long conduit piping would work as long as you don't mind having to paint it to keep it looking good, and you'd have to find some way to support it in the middle.
Is there a way you could use long conduit and then support it from above? Say, on a cable attached to your house above the patio? You'd still have two stacks of curtains when they were fully opened, but you wouldn't have a support column in the middle of your patio. Does this make sense or am I not describing it well?? :)
I can't imagine finding a 20 foot long piece of pipe that isn't going to sag. And if there is such a metal, the weight of it would make it extremely difficult to mount. I think you are going to have to factor in support brackets. Maybe use some kind of s-hook in each grommet hole that can slide over a support bracket?
I need to correct myself (sorry, morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet). The white vinyl conduit was not what he used, it was metal pipe. Very sturdy, no sagging. I think about 1" diameter max (not super skinny). Brackets were not at very end, they were in about a foot from the end. (It was about 14' length total.) Cost under $10 IIRC, not costly at all, so not a big loss if it didn't work.
I am pretty sure that PVC will flex. But I happen to know that a 1/2 inch copper pipe that is 20' long has not too much flex in it. (Left over from plumbing, and trying to store it in the garage, it wasn't very cooperative.... you don't live in Nebraska, do you?) I am guessing that you could probably put in three brackets (both ends and in the middle) and have it work decently if you fabric is not too heavy. Can you pull the curtains to each side? A galvanized pipe may also have the strength you need. Rule of thumb, a pipe (hollow) is stronger than solid rod.
That should have read "or finding special rods."
My porch is kind of chaotic right now, but here are a couple shots. The panels are from PB and the rods from Country Curtains.
I think one reason they don't "stop the eye" is because they are green and blend in with the greenery all around. I don't feel they diminish my view in any way. Perhaps if they were another color or a lively pattern, I'd feel differently.
Thanks for the replies, and Amysrq, what a lovely porch! My covered patio doesn't have walls like yours, though, so it wouldn't be quite the same. It is just open to the backyard, and where I need the sun to be blocked is all open. That west side spans from the house to a cedar post in the ground, with a solid shingled roof overhead, and flagstone patio underneath. I don't want to have 2 stacks of curtains in this area because a stack near the post would look odd, since there are no walls, and especially because it is an extremely windy location (Texas). I know that I am going to have to deal with wind regardless, but if I can pull all of the panels over to the side with the house wall, the stack will be out of the way, and I can secure them with a tie back or rope to the wall to contain them. Securing them to a cedar post just wouldn't be as secure or sheltered, since it is the corner of the structure that is most out in the open. The stack of curtains would be constantly flapping about in the wind.
I would like the look of a copper pipe used as a rod, but I can't see how I could get around having to put a support bracket in the middle. S-hooks would be fine, or even clip hooks instead of using the grommets, but they still wouldn't pass by the middle bracket mount, would they?
I will look into curtain tracks to see if that might work.
I have to figure out some kind of solution since we built this cover to make our patio usable in the evening for eating dinner, and we have found that we still cannot use it from 4pm until the sun completely sets because the sun peeks under the roof all evening and aims itself directly at our patio table. Frustrating.
nccmama, I live in Austin, and also have to deal w/late afternoon/evening wind on my back patio, and was considering doing the same. Like yourself, I want to be able to eat outside in the evening, but the wind makes it almost impossible. Will be watching this thread for a solution. ;o)
It looks like curtain-tracks.com has some things that I could make work. I hate to give up the look of a rod going through the existing grommets on the curtains, but can probably find something there that will work. Maybe I can find some kind of decorative S-hook or even a pretty shower curtain hook to use, one that would cover up the grommet hole with a a pretty doodad to match my outdoor look? OK, I'm going a bit overboard since my original post was mostly utilitarian, but this is the decorating forum, afterall. LOL
Thank you all for the help!
Patty_cakes, since you're in TX, I got the outdoor panels yesterday at Tuesday Morning for a great price, in case you are looking for some. They may be gone already, but what a find!
We're in Texas as well, and used the curtain tracks in our b edroom for light control & privacy across a 12-foot span. You barely notice the track, it's really low-impact visually. As a matter of fact we installed 2 and aren't using one, and it doesn't bother me at all. You can see it behind the curtains, just before the windows.
As for the wind...that's a hard one, you might want to get some tie-downs or put in some grommets you can attach to weights (like bricks maybe, Texans always seem to have random bricks lying around!)
Thanks for posting nccmama. I have been struggling with the same thing. I actually want to put the curtains on the outside of 12 ft. sliding glass door panels. I know - outside seems weird - but it will hopefully also solve a rain problem we are having with rain water collecting in the tracks of the sliders and leaking through the ceiling. I would love to hear how you solve this. One other question - how long are the panels you found? My other issue is 8 ft doors.
As far as weighting the curtains against the wind - I was hoping to be able to put sand packets into the hems. (Think sand bag about the size of snack baggies) I didn't want anything that could end up going through my glass doors or hit someone! I am near the beach in California and we get some pretty wild wind.
Not sure if this is a look you are going for... but i thought it was a great idea. And if the pipe look doesn't work for you, you could always spray paint them hammered bronze.

Jan Jones Supports Employment Non-Discrimination Act
October 21, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submited by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
Jan Jones, the former two-term Las Vegas mayor and a current Executive Vice President at Caesars, spoke out in support of ENDA in an op-ed with the Las Vegas Sun this weekend.
Jones wrote:
As mayor, I worked hard to improve our city by building diverse coalitions that successfully affected real change. That's why I'm so excited by the hugely diverse, bipartisan group that has come together to pass ENDA — it's a recipe for success. As a business leader and former mayor, I'm proud to stand with the myriad Las Vegans from all walks of life who support the basic opportunity to work for every American. ENDA is a big win for both business and for hard-working Nevada families.
Caesars is a long-standing member of HRC's Business Coalition for Workplace Fairness, which is comprised of more than 100 Fortune 500s and large companies who support ENDA. In addition to the Business Coalition, nearly 90 percent of Fortune 500s have sexual orientation non-discrimination policies on the books – while nearly 60 percent have similar policies for gender identity.
HRC is proud to be a member of the Americans for Workplace Opportunity campaign – a bipartisan campaign to pass ENDA. You can take action and learn more at www.passENDAnow.

This product is whitening from the second you put it on. It does a great job of neutralizing red without looking like it's a high coverage product. However, if you don't want to look paler, this is not the product for you.

Comments about Super Plus Perfect BB Cream SPF30 PA++ bright:
I was very impressed with this product sample I received. This is the first BB cream that wasn't orange on me.
I am mostly German decent with some Irish and Scottish in my family.That being said, I have had a really hard time finding products that actually work with how pale my complexion really is. Often thing look this horrible orange and just distort my skin tone to look fake and,well, orange.
This really matched me well and made my skin look great. It also didn't cause me the stippling effect I've gotten with some other products. Nor did I have any reactions so this product has been win win so far for me.
I plan on adding this to my daily routine. I absolutely recommend for anyone fair skinned like myself that has had the same issues with products being orange on them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Super Plus Perfect BB Cream SPF30 PA++ bright:
i received this in my beauty bar box recently. described as an all-in-one cream, i applied this as the only product to my recently cleansed face and neck. i must say, you only get about five seconds to apply this because it absorbs very quickly. it is also VERY light. i'm very pale and this was still too light. it also settled in some creases. but aside from that, several hours later the coverage is still excellent and the finished texture is very good. but my two use sample wasn't enough to truly get to know this product (or shade), hence the 3-star review.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

2.5 stars for South Beach's Catch
The James Royal Palm, 1545 Collins Ave, Miami Beach
Hours: Dinner daily beginning at 6:30pm
Prices: Small plates $13- $22, entrees $29-$54, shareable "big" entrees $65-$90, sides $9-$15, desserts $12
FYI: 20% tip automatically added to bill
Metered self-parking and nearby garage; valet $25
Full bar; corkage $35
Catch and South Beach make a perfect pair. They're both hip, stylish, quirky, a bit garish and extremely expensive. Plus, they're sprinkled with celebrity dust.The twin of a Manhattan Meatpacking District hot spot, this eclectic but mostly Asian eatery is owned by the EMM Group, which has more nightclubs than restaurants. It shows.
Once seated, be warned that meals are quick and squatters not happily tolerated. Young, actor-handsome servers are enthusiastic if a little pushy as they sing the praises of the celebrity chef, Top Chef season-three winner Hung Huynh, whose vibrant flavors and dramatic presentations are well suited to this clubby crowd. The menu he has created is competent and tasty, if mostly borrowed, with the best dishes combining salty, spicy, sweet, fresh and crunchy elements.
Ambience: If you want a coveted table upstairs, where soaring ceilings lend awarehouse vibe, you need not only a reservation but a name to drop. Cameron Diaz, Naomi Campbell and J Lo have been spotted nibbling up there. Easier to score, tables downstairs on the hotel lobby's pretty terrazzo floor seem reserved for families, ahem, older folks and walk-ins.
What Worked
- Vietnamese-style lettuce wrap served with half heads of iceberg lettuce, a cute, cup-sized copper pot of sake-marinated chicken chunks, a thin hoisin-like sauce, perfect squares of sliced cucumbers and tiny fried sweet potato threads

- A stir-fried mélange of green beans withloads of ginger, shredded savoy cabbage and bits of scallion
- The chef's delicious signature scallop dish with a drizzle of caramel sauce and flourishes of microgreens
- Fresh & large sushi rolls that do not pack extra rice
- A spectacular Key lime donut - a warm pillow puff of fried dough drenched in a cheek-suckingly tangy lime glaze and served with a scoop of ultra creamy vanilla ice cream, dollops of lime curd and toasted swirls of merengue
What Didn't Work
- A soft, slightly clammy round of pretzel
- Rubbery lobster claws
- Sushi rolls loaded with one too many ingredients and inexplicably served in orders of three or five
- Terse menu descriptions are terse that require staff explanationa
- Intrusive waiters that seem to have been schooled on how to oversell diners

New MINI revealed as Cooper gets bigger
The new MINI Hardtop has been revealed, complete with its sporty Cooper variants, ahead of the BMW city car's official debut at the LA Auto Show next week, complete with all-new engines and a design that's bigger in all directions. The car is now longer, wider, and taller, with an extended wheelbase that adds up to more rear passenger space and more luggage capacity, though on the outside it's still unmistakably a MINI. BMW has squeezed in some extra tech, however, such as optional LED headlamps that can automatically adjust their spread and coverage depending on road conditions and route.

... the case and he's going to knock it out.
On our apres-fruhstuck walk, we saw cranes, cranes everywhere. The whole of Gay Street, where we live, was blocked and full of them. Oh, these are the lifting kind of cranes, not the flying kind that I like to chase. They're using a very big crane to take something from the top of one of the high buildings. In fact, it's so big that they brought a smaller crane to erect the ...

... roll the way I normally do, I'll be fine.
We have made good progress though. I can report that ALL of the dog food, cookies and toys are packed. So, as you can see, I watched another fab sunset thru the Sun Sphere, and did a little light puzzle work to keep the ole noggin sharp.
Now, with all the important dog stuff packed, we just have to take care of ...

Westward to Asheville going through the the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, we had intended to go to Cherokee but the guide book says its dominated by a 21 storey hotel and Casino - not ...
... for that matter). I love the older, more traditional cottages and this time, I'm opting for a duplex. Actually, it's a triplex! I've driven past this "barn" on many of my trips to Topsail and decided this would be the year I booked one of the 3 units it has. Nothing fancy, a bed, a bath, a kitchen and a deck on ...
