Legislative proposals (sampling) and hearings of the 112th, 111th and 110th Congresses:
HEARINGS - A variety of hearing either directly on tax reform or related topics (such as health care reform or small business reform) were held in the 110th Congress. Some of the hearings in the Senate Finance Committee were labeled as being in anticipation of tax reform. So it looks like the topic will get more attention in 2009. Part of the reason for the interest is the expiring 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, AMT problems, the tax gap and international competitiveness.

H.R. 3970 (Rangel) - proposal that lowers corporate rate and repeals individual AMT
H.R. 1040 - Freedom Flat Tax
H.R. 25 - Fair Tax Act (national sales tax)

H.R. 3818 - the Taxpayer Choice Act of 2007 - repeals the individual AMT and gives taxpayers a choice of filing systems: the current one with its various deductions and credits, or a simplified one with a 2 rate structure and deductions only for personal and dependency exemptions and a standard deduction. Also see information from the Republican Study Committee.
H.R. 473 - "To establish a commission to develop legislation designed to reform tax policy and entitlement benefit programs and ensure a sound fiscal future for the United States, and for other purposes." The commission would be called the Securing America's Future Economy (SAFE) Commission.
S. 55 - To repeal the individual AMT starting in 2007. While this might not sound like tax reform, it affects a lot of individuals and will likely require some significant changes to cover the revenue effect or repeal.
S. 96 - "A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to ensure a fairer and simpler method of taxing controlled foreign corporations of United States shareholders, to treat certain foreign corporations managed and controlled in the United States as domestic corporations, to codify the economic substance doctrine, and to eliminate the top corporate income tax rate, and for other purposes."

What is a consumption tax? By "major" federal tax reform, the sponsors generally mean that the federal income tax (and perhaps other federal taxes, such as payroll taxes and estate and gift taxes) would be replaced with a consumption tax. Today in the U.S., consumption taxes are only used by state and local governments - the sales tax. For the answer to the question, what is a consumption tax? - click here.

H.R. 1040 (113rd Congress) - the Flat Tax
H.R. 1040 and S. 963 - Freedom Flat Tax Act - allows taxpayers to choose to file using the flat tax sponsored by Congressman Burgess and Senator Alexander
S. 741 - Flat tax with limited deduction for cash contributions and home mortgage interest sponsored by Senator Spector
H.R. 1040 (110th Congress, Burgess) - Freedom Flat Tax
H.R. 1040 (109th Congress, Burgess) - similar to the "Armey" flat tax, see below.
S. 1040 (108th Congress, Shelby) - A flat tax proposal like the ones he and former Congressman Armey have introduced in prior years (based on the Hall-Rabushka model). The rate would be 19% until 2005 when it would be 17%. It also calls for a 3/5 majority vote for any tax increase or reduction in the standard deduction or change that would reduce federal revenues.
S. 907 (108th Congress; Spector) - Like Congressman Armey's flat tax, the one of Senator Spector is modeled after the Hall-Rabushka flat tax. S. 907 calls for a 20% flat tax on earned income of individuals less a standard deduction, deduction for cash contributions (limited to $2,500) and home acquisition mortgage interest (limited to $100,000 of debt). The standard deduction would be $17,500 for married couples filing jointly, $15,000 for head-of-household, and $10,000 for individuals. A dependency deduction of $5,000 per dependent would be included as part of the standard deduction. The standard deduction would be adjusted annually for the effects of inflation.
All forms of business would be subject to a 20% flat tax on their business taxable income which is "gross active income" less specified deductions. Gross active income excludes investment income. Allowable business deductions are business inputs (cost of goods sold, cost of services provided and reasonable travel and entertainment) compensation paid to employees, and the cost of personal and real property used in the business. Excess deductions could be carried over to future tax years.
No tax credits are provided. Estate and gift taxes would be repealed.
Per Senator Spector: "This flat tax would enable us to scrap the great majority of the IRS rules, regulations, and instructions and delete most of the 6.9 million words in the Internal Revenue Code. Instead of billions of hours of non-productive time spent in compliance with, or avoidance of, the tax code, taxpayers would spend only the small amount of time necessary to fill out a postcard-sized form. Both business and individual taxpayers would thus find valuable hours freed up to engage in productive business activity or for more time with their families instead of poring over tax tables, schedules, and regulations." [Cong. Record, 4/11/03, S5363]
S. 1054 - Amendment 569 (Spector) - calls for a Sense of the Senate resolution that "the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Economic Committee should undertake a comprehensive analysis of simplification including flat tax proposals, including appropriate hearings and consider legislation providing for a flat tax."
Senator Spector suggests that a 19% flat tax (20% rate if mortgage interest and charitable deductions are allowed) would "expand the economy by an estimated $2 trillion over seven years."
On May 15, 2003, the Senate agreed by a vote of 70-30 to add the above amendment to S. 1054. S. 1054 became a substitute for H.R. 2 which passed in the Senate 51-49 on May 15, 2003.
Congressman Armey reintroduced his flat tax proposal (H.R. 1040, 107th Congress) which is based on the Hall-Rabushka flat tax model. Congressman Armey previously introduced this bill in the 103rd, 104th, 105th and 106th Congress.
Information from those in favor of a flat tax:
The Flat Tax by creators Drs. Hall and Rabushka of the Hoover Institute at Stanford
Information from those opposed to a flat tax:
Citizens for Tax Justice - 5/17/95 congressional testimony
Senator Spector reintroduced his proposal to replace the income and estate and gift taxes with a 20% flat tax based on the Hall-Rabushka model, but with limited deductions for mortgage interest (on $100,000 of acquisition debt) and charitable contributions ($2,500 of cash contributions). This legislation (S. 593; 105th Congress) is a more detailed proposal than his proposal introduced in the 104th Congress (S. 488).
Congressman Souder reintroduced his flat tax proposal (H.R. 2971 of 105th Congress, and H.R. 1780 of 104th Congress). Modified version of Armey flat tax. Calls for a 20% rate on earned income with a large standard deduction, charitable contribution per Sec. 170 and mortgage interest deduction limited to interest on $100,000 of acquisition debt. Businesses would be taxed at 20% rate on gross active income reduced by cost of busienss inputs, compensation and cost of tangible personal and real property used in the business activity. Unlike Spector flat tax on individuals, Souder flat tax does not limit the charitable contribution deduction (appears to rely on current limits at Sec. 170), while Spector tax only allows for deduction up to $2,500 of cash charitable contributions. Yet, both bills call for same 20% tax rate.

Simplified USA tax proposal from Congressman English (H.R.
269, 108th Congress) - consists of a subtraction type VAT for
businesses and a modified income tax for individuals with
limited deductions and savings incentives.
S. 112 (108th Congress, Hollings) - calls for a VAT to help fund the costs of war
Call for study to determine the effect on the government and the economy of a tax system consisting of a 10% federal consumption tax + a 10% flat income tax. H.R. 853 (105th Congress) introduced by Congressman Traficant would direct the U.S. Comptroller General to conduct the study. The 10% flat tax to be analyzed would allow for business deductions, a standard deduction, a personal exemption, mortgage interest deduction on a principal residence, and a deduction for college tuition payments.
H.R. 2685 (105th Congress) would allow individuals to elect to file a flat tax return that only allows for trade or business deductions, and standard and dependency deductions. The proposed flat rate is 20%. A dependency deduction is $5,000. The standard deduction would be $21,400 for married filing jointly, $14,000 for head of household and $10,700 for single, all to be indexed for inflation. Income of children under age 14 is included on the parent's tax return. A supermajority would be required to increase the rates or decrease the deduction amounts.
Proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to abolish the Federal income tax by repealing the 16th Amendment - H.J. Res. 70 (105th Congress).
H.R. 2716 (107th Congress) - the "Date Certain Tax Code Replacement Act" - repeals all federal taxes other than self-employment taxes and FICA and Railroad Retirement Tax Act taxes, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2005, provided a new federal tax system is created by July 4, 2005. This proposal also calls for creation of a 15-member Commission to do the following
"(A) to conduct, for a period of not to exceed 18 months from the date of its first meeting, the review described in paragraph (2); and
(B) to submit to the Congress a report of the results of such review, including recommendations for fundamental reform and simplification of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as described in subsection (g).
(2) REVIEW- The Commission shall review--
(A) the present structure and provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, especially with respect to--
(i) its impact on the economy (including the impact on savings, capital formation and capital investment);
(ii) its impact on families and the workforce (including issues relating to distribution of tax burden);
(iii) the compliance cost to taxpayers; and
(iv) the ability of the Internal Revenue Service to administer such provisions;
(B) whether tax systems imposed under the laws of other countries could provide more efficient and fair methods of funding the revenue requirements
of the government;
(C) whether the income tax should be replaced with a tax imposed in a different manner or on a different base; and
(D) whether the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 can be simplified, absent wholesale restructuring or replacement thereof."

Entrainment, broadly defined, is a phenomenon in which two or more independent rhythmic processes synchronize with each other. To illuminate the significance of entrainment for various directions of music research and promote a nuanced understanding of the concept among ethnomusicologists, this publication opens with an exposition of entrainment research in various disciplines, from physics to linguistics and psychology, while systematically introducing basic concepts that are directly relevant to musical entrainment. Topics covered include consideration of self-synchrony and interpersonal synchrony in musical performance, humans' innate propensities to entrain, the influence of cultural and personal factors on entrainment, the numerous functions of musical entrainment in individual health, socialization, and cultural identification, and a presentation of methodologies and analytical techniques. Finally, some case studies illustrating one methodological strand, that of chronometric analysis, exemplify how the application of the entrainment concept might lead to an understanding of music making and music perception as an integrated, embodied and interactive process.

A Variety of Modules to Choose From
What kind of module are you looking for? Do you need additional smoke detectors, motion detectors, glass break detectors or carbon monoxide detectors? We offer modules for all of the above, and some power supply modules even allow for multiple sirens and strobe lights. Some of the more popular modules are even used for applications such as controlling lights, appliances, security gates and garage doors.
Internet Connection Modules
We even offer Internet Connection Modules (ICM), which allow you to control, monitor and communicate with your system via the Internet. In addition, you can find modules which support both 2-way audio VOX and push-to-talk home alarm verification. With the right module, you can turn your simple home security system into an intuitive, 21st-century security powerhouse.
Wired vs Wireless
If you have an expandable alarm system, you should be able to add multiple modules, and HomeSecurityStore.com offers both wired and wireless options to suit every need. Most modules require their own transformer or battery, and some—like the Ademco Honeywell Digital Cellular Communicator for Lynx Plus—require you to have specific services, like AlarmNet. So make sure to read all product descriptions carefully.

Remember, not all makes and models of alarm systems are expandable. That's why you should do your homework before you make a purchase to ensure your system will meet all your home security needs and expectations. If you have any questions, our Tech Support team is here to help. Feel free to call us during regular business hours, or check out Tech Support page to learn more about products and installation.

The TRICARE health insurance program is rolling out its new patient-centered "medical home" concept to an increasing number of its beneficiaries, Navy Rear Adm. Dr. Christine S. Hunter, the top TRICARE officer, said Wednesday.
In last week's column, I offered 15 parenting resolutions for the new year. This week, I'm making a prediction: 2011 will see the beginning of a revolution in what and where America's children eat. Over the next decade, it will become cooler for a parent to have a slim child than a child who makes straight A's.
January is National Cervical Health Awareness Month. This promotion is important because more than 4,000 women die in the United States each year from cervical cancer and women who don't have screening on a regular basis significantly increase their chances of developing the disease.
BOSTON - A blood test so sensitive that it can spot a single cancer cell lurking among a billion healthy ones is moving one step closer to being available at your doctor's office.
WASHINGTON - Loud snoring may do more than irritate your spouse: It can signal sleep apnea, depriving you of enough zzzz's to trigger a car crash, even a heart attack.
Given that this is the first column of a new year, I'm proposing a number of parenting New Year's resolutions for my readers to consider. The list is by no means comprehensive. It's just a good beginning on what is probably a much-needed family revolution:
Have you made resolutions for this year that you will work at and keep? And if you do have specific goals, does that mean you are a meticulous planner who knows what you're going to do each day and what you need to accomplish these plans?
As flu rates continue to climb in Georgia and around the country, Coastal Health District officials are urging residents in Liberty, Long, Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn and McIntosh counties to protect themselves and others against the flu by getting vaccinated.
Have you ever sat down with your family and tried to write down your holiday traditions? Did these begin with your grandparents or even before them? Some traditions are as simple as what foods you eat on Christmas while other traditions came to us from other countries or started with a particular event that was so well-received that everyone wanted to repeat the experience annually.
Q: Since the oldest of my three children started kindergarten this year, I have become increasingly attached to her, as if I took for granted the past five years I've had at home with her. The rational side of me knows I need to allow her to be independent of me, make mistakes and so on, but the irrational side feels almost literally sick when she comes home talking (in my opinion, prematurely) about boys, clothes and the like. I don't want to be a parent who ends up with a 30-year-old "kid" still living at home, but ...
LOGAN - Some teenagers may be tempted to try diet shakes and bars and weight-loss supplements to help them obtain their ideal figure, but studies show nothing beats good, old-fashioned diet and exercise.
William Meyer, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Duke University, objects to a recent column of mine in which I recommended that parents move a toddler out of their bed by telling him that "the doctor" said he can't sleep with them any longer (a second child is on the way). In a letter to the editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, Meyer says that this is a lie and "sets up the child to feel an unwarranted anger" toward health-care professionals.
Each year, the holiday season brings mixed feelings for many people when parties, shopping and social responsibilities become intertwined with emotional upsets and worries about expenses associated with giving gifts.
Christmas should be a time of celebration and merriment, but Joshua Berry's parents are currently focused on their son's health.
JESUP - Wayne Memorial Hospital recently added a piece of technology to its operating rooms. With two new general surgeons on board, WMH complied with the physicians' request for equipment needed to conduct a new service, sentinel lymph node biopsies for breast cancer. The Neoprobe Gamma Detection System is in use at Wayne Memorial to offer less invasive, yet highly accurate breast biopsies.
Brainiacs, beware. Having the kind of active brain associated with high intelligence may also lead to stress and anxiety, according to recent research.
In 1978, the low-budget science-fiction film "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" was a hit among young moviegoers. The film was a spoof on the horror and sci-fi genre movies of that time and featured monstrous tomatoes revolting against humans, killing them off one by one.
In many households, women tend to actively be on the lookout for their family's overall health and well-being. While selflessly putting the needs of loved ones before their own, women can often overlook health problems of their own that could lead to major health-care costs down the road. This is especially true when it comes to vision.
The social-media site Facebook can be an effective tool for connecting with new and old friends. However, some users spending quite a bit of time viewing Facebook may inevitably begin comparing what's happening in their lives to the activities and accomplishments of their friends.
Going under the knife for a younger-looking face does more than alter a person's own body image, according to a new study published this week in the journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery. It also changes how an individual's personality is perceived by others.
In the springtime, as temperatures rise and flower buds peek out of the soil to greet the sun, the body begins making adjustments of its own.
People looking to boost their mental health should be strategic about the way they retell important life events, according to recent research on the way life stories impact well-being.
A popular new commercial that shows a couple video-conferencing with a doctor after ill-timed dance moves sent them crashing into their dining room table illustrates a rising trend among health insurers: the use of innovative technologies to simplify the health care system.
The symptoms started for Amy Myers during her second year of medical school. Initially, doctors dismissed the panic attacks, unexplained weight loss, and extreme muscular weakness. They said it was stress, that's all.
Like many parents, you've considered the importance of setting a good example for your kids in many areas of your life, but are your dieting habits detrimental to your children's health and well-being? Current diet culture promotes unhealthy extremes and poor body image, polarizing food as "good" or "bad" — and this is incredibly damaging to a child's ability to develop a healthy or normal relationship with food. The Framingham Children's Study showed that children whose parents showed the highest levels of restrictive dieting followed by post-diet overeating were most likely to be overweight compared to children ...

People wear it on tank top straps, tuck it in a pocket or fasten it to their wrist. They bring it up at work meetings, give it to others as a gift and monitor the measurements it records at the end of each day.
Neuroscience research holds an important message for shoppers looking to add a few new pieces to their spring wardrobe: the brain can't always be trusted.
Giving in to the temptation to talk with friends or answer texts while driving holds serious consequences for teens behind the wheel, according to a new study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which found that six in 10 car crashes involving teen drivers were linked to distracted driving.

Panthers 5, Maple Leafs 1
The Florida Panthers took advantage of shaky Maple Leafs goaltending to help them to their best start since the 1996-97 season.
Jack Skille, Marco Sturm, Tomas Kopecky, Sean Bergenheim and Shawn Matthias scored for Florida in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Tuesday night.
Jose Theodore finished with 38 saves for the Panthers.
''We played a good game,'' Theodore said. ''The Leafs came out hard in the first period, but we didn't get intimidated. We showed them that we were prepared to play. We got the momentum and didn't let go.''
The Maple Leafs, struggling without injured goalie James Reimer, were booed by the home fans for the second straight game after Jonas Gustavsson surrendered three soft goals.
Phil Kessel scored Toronto's lone goal.
Reimer has missed eight games because of concussion symptoms following a hit by Montreal's Brian Gionta on Oct. 22. There is no timetable for Reimer's return.
''I really don't know (when he'll be back). I can't comment on that because I simply don't know,'' Toronto coach Ron Wilson said.
The Maple Leafs (9-5-1) got by initially with Gustavsson and third-stringer Ben Scrivens, but they haven't played with confidence recently.
''They've got to work hard in practice,'' Wilson said. ''That's their responsibility to sit there with (goalie coach Francois Allaire) and go over the games. At least we go on the road, where maybe they can relax a little bit and not worry about what's going to happen if they make a mistake.
''Tomorrow, they'll hopefully bounce back.''
It certainly hasn't helped that Toronto's offense has struggled. The Maple Leafs ended a scoreless streak of 137 minutes, 59 seconds before Kessel scored his NHL-leading 11th goal in the third period. By then the game was out of reach.
''Sometimes that goes hand in hand,'' Wilson said. ''If you're not sure what's going to happen in the back, you play a little cautious.''
The Leafs were looking to bounce back after being hammered 7-0 by Boston on Saturday night, but Gustavsson spotted the Panthers an early lead. Skille had an open net for his first goal of the season at 9:45 after Gustavsson slid well out of his crease.
Toronto looked poised to tie the game during a strong start to the second period that forced Panthers coach Kevin Dineen to call a timeout.
Instead, goals 19 seconds apart chased Gustavsson and gave Florida (7-4-3) a 3-0 lead. On the first one, Gustavsson mishandled the puck behind the net. Sturm cashed in at 16:28 before Kopecky beat him on a rush that developed off the ensuing faceoff.
''It's just one of those nights where we don't get the bounces,'' Gustavsson said. ''Everything just hit the post and deflects and bounced back and forth. Overall, I felt pretty good.''
Fans cheered when Leafs coach Ron Wilson sent Scrivens in to replace him.
''We've got to shore up our goaltending obviously,'' Wilson said.
The rookie had a couple good moments - stopping former Leafs forward Kris Versteeg on a breakaway - but he allowed goals to Bergenheim and Matthias in the third period. He might earn his third NHL start when Toronto plays at St. Louis on Thursday night. The Blues won their first game under new coach Ken Hitchcock on Tuesday night.
''In my mind (I know who I'll start), but I don't have to share it,'' Wilson said. ''Why don't I just call Hitch? Does anybody have a cellphone? I'll call Hitch and tell him who's going to play.
''We'll make the decision at practice tomorrow or even the next day. I want to see how the goalies play in practice, how they rebound from this and we'll go from there.''
NOTES: Leafs rookie forward Matt Frattin was minus-2 through 40 minutes in his first game since being recalled from the AHL. ... Cody Franson, Jay Rosehill and Colton Orr were scratched for Toronto. ... Rookie D Erik Gudbranson sat out a third straight game for the Panthers.

Born in Hannover, Roth was sent as a teenager to Switzerland (birthplace of both his father and Dada) to seek shelter from Allied bombings and wartime deprivation; until his death in 1998, at age 68, he moved peripatetically between his adopted homeland in Iceland; Basel, Switzerland; and a dizzying array of off-center locations, from Düsseldorf to Providence, Rhode Island. Once his art matured, he left behind a whirlwind of debris and putrefaction, converting nature's destructive force into fertile ground for creation.
Roth claimed that a desire for "quantity, rather than quality" motivated his proliferating oeuvre. Viewing the exhaustive and exhausting survey that curator Gary Garrels has organized at MOMAwhich includes drawings, paintings, prints, books, sculpture, assemblages, films, jewelry, tapestry, musical compositions, and documentation of performances, such as readings of the poetry Roth considered his true vocationit's easy to believe him. Often, this policy makes for tough going. "No more!" one wants to cry out, eyes glazed over, when confronted with the umpteenth collage in which a host of cast-off itemsbroken typewriters, paint-smeared bunnies, cacti in coffee mugs, etc.seems to surge up from the oceanic depths of disused cabinets and dresser drawers, irrepressibly.
Give it time. And don't miss the remarkable companion show at MOMA's affiliate, P.S.1 (reviewed below), comprising five of the artist's mammoth installations. A sense of repulsion is integral to Roth's art, which, with its spectacular ups and downs, suggests a personality both larger than life and ultimately unforgettable.
A chorus of barking canines greets you at MOMA, as the soundtrack for a multimedia installation from the 1970s, recorded in a Spanish dog pound, spills over from a later gallery. This wrenches attention away from Roth's tame early works, which show the influence of modernist masters such as Klee, Cézanne, and Mondrian. By the next room, he already seems a different artist, having taken up textile design in Copenhagen and fallen under the sway of Constructivist experiments with optical illusion, typographical innovation, and elegant, hard-edged abstraction.
In Reykjavík, where Roth moved in 1957 to marry Sigridur Björnsdóttir, he continued making booksodd little volumes pieced together from the pages of Icelandic newspapers, yesterday's news bound for all eternity. Living in poverty and relative isolation amid the island's harsh beauty (his primary link to the art world being his correspondence with the Fluxus artist Daniel Spoerri), he pursued a strategy of reversing all aesthetic hierarchies.
Consider his Literaturwurstsausages made with the shredded books of authors whom Roth disliked or envied. The Nazis had burned books (and ended up with nothing to eat). How much wiser, then, to grind and mix them with spices, stuff them in casings, and frame the results, in a marvelously ironic and biting send-up of high culture. (The series, begun in 1961, culminated in 1974 with the collected works of Hegel.)
Roth encountered Jean Tinguely at a 1960 exhibition of the Swiss sculptor's rusty, broken- down constructions in Basel. Tinguely's use of time and found materials in his kinetic works came as a revelation. Soon, the transformations wrought by the decay of organic material took center stage in Roth's oeuvre.
One room in the current show houses these ghoulish and melancholy creations: delicate prints made by sending Easter eggs through the presses; slices of sausage sandwiched between glass and paper, their fat bleeding aureoles like sunsets; the incinerated remains of 30-year-old bananas, preserved with their molds like cave paintings; toy motorcycle racers buried in chocolate. The latter substance, with its anal and childlike associations, became his signature material, cast into innumerable, faintly ridiculous self-portraits, subject to invasion by larvae and winged insects, its cloying scent filling the gallery with memories of past sweetness. Among contemporary artists, the works of Janine Antoni and Paul McCarthy show Roth's influence.
Roth continued switching styles, circling back, and engaging in numerous collaborations, for the better part of three decades, though few subsequent works share the power of his "decay art" to make the passages of the hours palpable. Among them is a life-sized tapestry woven according to his instructions by Ingrid Weiner over the course of two years, showing the elder artist surrounded by the detritus of his studio, like a master artisan in some Dutch still life. At once grandiose and archaicwith the trash of a throwaway culture memorialized in a medieval mediumit's a fitting tribute to a man who made transience his life's business.

Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! I wish I had the photo shop skills to fit him into my signature. At the very least for the reasons I mentioned and the ones that Jimmors also mentioned, he should be in the team picture of players who stand out and represent the Bears organization.
Pretty difficult for OL, since the stats are harder to come by, so here's the best that i can do for now: 1.Eric Fisher, Chiefs: apparently even though the chiefs were undefeated, Fisher has had a "Shaky Start," still, starter for 9 games, missed one. Can't be doing all that bad, since Chiefs keep winning. 2.Luke Joeckel, Jags: Broke his ankle after game 5, out for season. Jags offense a mess regardless. 4.Lane Johnson, Eagles: doing pretty well, from what i can find, a full starter for the Eagles. 7.Jonathan Cooper, Cardinals: broke leg in pre-season, most likely out for season. 10.Chance Warmack, Titans: Can't really find much on him, but he has started all games thus far. 11.DJ Fluker, Chargers: Started al but one game, made a Rookie of the Week, so i'd say he is doing ok. 19.Justin Pugh, Giants: Started all 10 games, but it is the Giants (Eli gets sacked a lot)...so take that for what its worth. so, running total before Kyle was drafted: 2 were injured 1 is a rookie of the week 2 are doing pretty good 2 are simply starters, but probably not as good as kyle. Best we can do with only a partial season. Come back in 2 years for a better comparison.
I liked the pick, but thought it might have been a reach. After initial reading that other teams would probably have picked him, I turned out to be ok at where we picked him. Now, I think we got him at a bargain with that pick.
Everything I've read so far (since I'm no scout) has said that Chance is doing well but that Long is playing very well for somebody who was so raw. They are probably the best two O line picks in the top 20.
I'm just astounded by his humble attitude compared to all the primadonna players of today. Especially coming from such storied father he doesn't act at all as though anything is owed to him. I give Howie and wife thumbs up for doing such good job of raising a kid with privileged background to be so non-self centered. So I just can't help but go for the kid to do a great job with such attitude along with God gifted size and ability the hof is almost preordained for him.
Part of it likely comes from his past, his over coming the issues he went through with drugs and all that stuff. But so far, there is not too much to not like about this guy
Yeah, but he could of as easily just kept on that path of destruction, having a father with big money can cover a lot of shit. Or that said father says I'm going to turn off the spicket and you're going to learn life the hard way. Which few parents or for that matter government will do for people that need to learn a lesson on their own without a handout for every BS disease or excuse in the book.
Well, I'm more than happy to admit it, I was screaming at the TV when we took this kid with Sharrif Floyd and Tyler Eifert still on the board. Everything I had read showed this kid as a second round prospect, and given the draft questions we had from the year before, I instantly started to question our new GM. With that said, the crow is very tasty and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this kid. I couldn't be happier to be as wrong as I was and I'm guessing everyone on this board, including the OP has had the flavor of crow in their mouth before. Drafts are a crap shoot no matter how many "interweb" scouting reports we all read. I trust in our front office because I think this draft was very well done. Even more so than finding a soon to be GREAT RG in the 1st round, I'm loving a pretty good starting RT in the 5TH ROUND!
These kids have life by the proverbial balls. You know it's just got to be a frickin' blast when they are all together. Can I be a in the Long family too? http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/gri...et-to-Take-the-Field-as-Rivals-232874911.html

Many businesses are missing out on a significant source of savings and efficiency by using credit cards mainly for T&E. In this online seminar, you can discover ways to gain a competitive advantage by shifting your more strategic business spending to cards — and we'll show how your accounts payable can become a revenue generator.
Among the topics covered:

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' ''Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures'':
** Played rather seriously in ''The Book of the Still''. A MindControl device is [[PlayingWithSyringes injected]] into the Doctor's brain by a guy called Svadhisthana. Quite understandably, the Doctor screams, which Svadhisthana's crony finds funny. The reader probably won't, because, come on, you'd scream like a little girl too if there was a needle in your brain.
-->''Svadhisthana and a needle. Pain in the base of his skull, a hot lance into the centre of his mind.\\
"[[BigNo Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo]]!"\\
Darlow's gutter laugh. "Screams like a girl."''
** And deployed strategically in ''Frontier Worlds'' when yet another mad scientist tries to vivisect him:
-->''The Doctor let out a piercingly shrill scream. Hed had a number of travelling companions who used to do much the same thing, and he was pleased with the effect it had now. For added effect, he fluttered his hands at the extremes of their restraints.''
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': If Harry Dresden and someone else are in a car and the appearance of something scary causes someone to scream in a high-pitched manner, it was the other person and most certainly not Harry.
* Creator/BernardCornwell likes this trope. One French GiantMook gives a "weirdly high-pitched scream" when Literature/{{Sharpe}} stabs him in the balls with a broken telescope. Sharpe's [[TheBigGuy sergeant, Pat Harper]] likes to do this, although this is because he is imitating ancient Irish heroes like Cu Chulainn. Plenty of redshirts do this, and one BigBad plans to do this to another Cornwell hero, [[Literature/TheSaxonStories Uhtred of Bebbanburg]]:
-->'''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Kjartan the Cruel]]:''' Now is not the time to make you scream like a woman.
* ''Literature/TheMartian'': Astronaut Mark Watney breaks several ribs during a high-gee launch, and then has to be extracted from his ship.
--> '''Mark:''' I didn't want to distract the people who were saving my life, so I muted my mic and screamed like a little girl.\\
It's true, you know. [[Film/{{Alien}} In space, no one can hear you scream]] like a little girl.

Best sawblade on the market
By Expat

About Me Professional
Comments about Freud LU83R010 Finish Red Circular Saw Blade 10" x 5/8" Bore x 50 Tooth Combination Thin Kerf :
As a professional woodworker I constantly look for the best sawblade available. I have used sawblades from most manufacturers out there, some quite expensive but nothing beats the quality and overall value you get from a Freud combination blade. Changing sawblades while working on a project is quite a hassle, this combination blade can take ripcuts and crosscuts with ease and still maintain perfect quality. Bottom line: it is a solid performer.
Great Product

Great blade and can't say enough about the design and quality. Use it for resawing figured wood for boxes and works fine.
Another excellent blade by freud!
By Cardnal85
from Uncasville, CT
I love this blade it cross suts smooth and rips beautifully. I recently used it to rip a bunch of cherry and the results were amazing. The finish was just as good as if I ran them down the jointer!
Like Freud blades
By doug the dog lover
from Wenatchee, WA
Used on my table saw to replace a dull Freud compo blade. I have the cross cut blade and the Glue Line Rip blade and am very satisified with them.

The King of Fighters XIII (Xbox 360) review"There are slow and powerful bruisers, tiny and agile schoolgirl types and everything in between. If you decide to spend the time that is required to master even a small portion of the more than 30 fighters, youll be busy for many hours. Some characters are less obviously gifted than others, but none of them seem to be useless. Even the diminutive Chin Gentsai, who employs the drunken master fighting style, is deceptively powerful once you learn how to put his hypnotic movements to use." |

Comprehensive sports game that lets you experience the Olympic Summer Games, but gets boring to soon.
Rich content of the Olympics official product warms the heart of any sports fan. Plenty of disciplines, realistic stadiums and eye-taking graphics could bring a lot of fun but, useless controls and lack of real sportsmen names spoils the overall impression. [Aug 2008]
Unfortunately, Beijing 2008 transmits hardly any atmosphere. Is a view of the stadium or sportsmen preparing for competition in the background too much to ask for? Nevertheless, due to the huge amount of disciplines, the game still is fun.
For its genre, Beijing 2008 appears to have succeeded. If you're a hardcore gamer, you already know this won't be your cup of tea. For everyone else, watch out for the RSI and everything will be gravy. [Nov 2008, p.55]
They scored big here with the authentic presentation and the great selection of events but then they married it to a series of mini-games with such poorly designed controls that favor luck and calloused fingers over skill and insight.
Includes everything you'd want from a game about the 2008 Olympics, apart from the fun gameplay and repression of Tibet bits. [Nov 2008, p.108]
It's the official game of the event, but unlike the real thing there's nothing particularly ground-breaking about Beijing 2008. What you see is what you get, and with nearly 40 events it's a lot to cover. Unfortunately they're mostly similar to play and the awful controls ruin what could have been a solid title.
Dull sporting minigames, not made for the PC. [Nov 2008, p.93]
Avoid. [Nov 2008, p.75]
Beijing 2008 proves beyond a doubt that rapidly pushing buttons is not fun.
On consoles it's quite playable, but the PC version is a sad joke. It looks like nobody bothered with betatesting it - how you can publish a sports game with broken controls?! [Sept 2008]

26 million pages; 400,000 photographs; 16,000 artifacts; these are the holdings in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kan., and they are the responsibility of Karl Weissenbach, Reinhardt Class of 1974. As director, he is in charge of maintaining, preserving and coordinating the holdings so they are accessible for research, museum exhibits, public programs and educational outreach.
"At the Eisenhower Museum and Library, it is my goal to create new partnerships and initiatives that continue to tell the story about President Eisenhower and his relevance in our country today," he said.
Thirty Years in the Political Science FieldIn the political science field for almost 30 years, Weissenbach began his career in 1979 running the research rooms at the National Archives building in Washington, D.C. In 1991, he became supervisor of the Central Research Room before accepting the role of director of the Nixon Presidential Materials Project of the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Md. Weissenbach held this position until three years ago when he decided to move to Kansas to secure the director's position at the Eisenhower Museum and Library.
Crediting Reinhardt for His Career SuccessWeissenbach graduated from Reinhardt with an Associate of Arts degree, and then earned his bachelor's degree from American University in Washington D.C. , but it was his time at Reinhardt that he gives the most credit for his career success.
"One of the joys of going to a college like Reinhardt is that you get that specialized encouragement from your professors who always push you to do more than you think you can do," explained Weissenbach. "I got that push at Reinhardt College."
"Reinhardt Has Special Meaning to Me."Although he won't "push" his children, Ben, age 14, and Anna, age 12, to go to Reinhardt, he hopes that by sharing his stories of his experiences at the College, it will gently persuade them to consider the place that means so much to him.
"Reinhardt has special meaning to me, and not a day goes by that I don't think about my time there," he said. "One day I was jogging in Washington, D.C. wearing a Reinhardt T-shirt, and someone stopped me and said 'I know exactly where Reinhardt is. Are you still in Georgia?' I replied, 'No, I am in Kansas.' He looked at me puzzled, and I told him it was a long story, but it's the story that will always have a special place in my heart."

Title: | Action-angles variables in Poisson geometry, local and global. |
Seminar: | GAP Seminar |
Speaker: | Camille Laurent-Gengoux, Metz, France |
Abstract: | |
The action-angle theorem is a well-known theorem that states that there is, locally, only one integrable system with compact leaves on a symplectic manifolds, and gives obstruction to the existence of a global trivialization. We investigate in the present work how the problem can be studied in Poisson geometry, in particular for Poisson manifolds with singularities. |

BMCB625:How the class works
From OpenWetWare
Contents |
Course Reading Material
- General Background reading, for example: Alberts et al., "Molecular Biology of the Cell", 4th edition.
- Reviews and research articles will be posted on the course web site here: Course Materials
- Participation on wiki: 10%
- Homework: 10%
- Presentations: 50%
- Final: 10% (10 min presentation, videotaped)
- Class participation: 20%
General Class Design
- This class is not a faculty-driven lecture class, but is based on student presentations of background material and research papers selected from the current literature. It is designed to maximize active roles for students in each class.
- Topics areas and papers can be selected from the list of possibilities posted on the course wiki, or you may suggest a specific topic and enlist a faculty mentor for the session.
- Presentations are to be done in pairs. One student introduces the topic giving background and perspectives (20 min), and the other student presents the paper and figures (30 min).
- Following a short break there will be a Discussion period for the paper(s) (20 min). The students who are not presenting will post 2 questions about the paper on the wiki before the class meets. After the discussion in class, the students are responsible for posting the answers to their questions on the designated area on the wiki. Homework credit will be given for posting (excellent) questions and (complete and well-written) answers.
Participants in the Class
- Master of Class (MC). Sets the tone and pace by introducing the topic and speakers. Introductions are mini-speeches. Introduce the speakers to the audience and the audience to the speaker to establish mutuality—a common bond.
- Introduction: make audience aware of importance of the topic
- Body that explains why this subject, this speaker, this audience, this time
- Conclusion……that leads to the actual talk.
At the end of the presentations and discussion of the papers the MC dismisses the audience (if any) and introduces the Evaluator. After the LE is finished the MC ends the class. Presenter 1. Introduces the topic including a concise background of the topic, perspectives and relevance. Presenter 2. Summarizes the findings reported in the paper, methods and conclusions. Timer. Keeps the pace by keeping everyone, including moderators and evaluators, on time. Communicates with the speakers, MC and Lead Evaluator. Lead Evaluator. After the discussion of the paper is complete, the Lead Evaluator gives a summary of the form and content of the presentations according to the class guidelines, 3 minutes/speaker. Incude a polite and constructive critique of talks. The LE will request written and verbal evaluations from the audience, then turns class over to the MC for a final word and dismissal.
- Keep in mind:
- It is OK to be nervous! It's how you use the nervousness that counts. Learn to make it work in your favor.
- Rehearse! You need to practice this new skill. You need to know how long it will take to get through your slides and make your major points. You need to know what you might trip over.
- Evaluators and moderators should practice too!
Preparation for the Class
- Each student should be prepared to discuss each figure in the assigned papers. The classroom will be reserved on Wednesdays for you to practice your presentations and coordinate the content in the two presentations. Class will meet on Thursdays for presentations and discussion.

Enterprises continue to pay too much for security software -- while the software vendors aren't doing enough research to keep up with fast-changing threats on the Internet, a Gartner analyst said Monday.
Security vendors are maintaining high profit margins on firewalls and anti-virus software, products that are commodities these days, said Neil MacDonald, a research vice president at Gartner, during a presentation at the company's IT Security Summit in London.
[ Keep up on the latest tech news headlines at InfoWorld News, or subscribe to the Today's Headlines newsletter. ]
Buyers should take advantage of the competitive environment in the anti-virus software industry to negotiate better prices for such products, he said.
"I know it's hard to switch, but you have to seriously enter the negotiations," he said. "Let the vendors know that you are not afraid to switch."
Security vendors have maintained a pricing scheme that contradicts the rest of the IT industry, MacDonald said. Typically with software or hardware, prices go down year after year with the introduction of new and better products. In some cases, however, security software often loses its effectiveness as new threats emerge, while prices stay high.
"Why in anti-virus year after year do we pay more for something that gives us less?" MacDonald asked. "It's insanity. Why is information security immune from the trends of the IT industry?"
For the last 18 months, MacDonald has been researching adaptive security, a concept that envisions having different security products communicate with one another and evaluate threats in a more contextual way. MacDonald argued that security products should work together like the human body's immune system, where different defensive mechanisms work in concert with each other.
These days, a security product is often designed to address a single security aspect, such as fortifying Web applications, protecting end-point devices, or preventing network intrusions. Vendors have taken advantage of how organizations deal with a security problem by offering single products, a model that makes security overly complex, MacDonald said.
Vendors need to create security technology that is less rigid and can change when businesses modify their processes. Ideally, those products would able to apply certain security policies in certain situations, a concept MacDonald labeled as adaptive.
"Vendors are holding us back from enabling this vision," MacDonald said. "The vendors are delivering us too many unconnected point products with too much complexity."

After all I found the problem was about the "weak-on" setting of the eth configuration. To find it I installed the ethtool to discover all the ethernet configuration settings, as this post suggests Resolution Post ..and incredibly what was the solution?... ..first shut down the laptop ..second REMOVE the battery... oh my... ..third ... everything works!! incredible... hope this helps |

An SI epidemic model for a vertically as well as horizontally transmitted disease is investigated when the fertility, natural mortality, and disease-induced mortality rates depend on age and the force of infection corresponds to a special form of intercohort transmission called proportionate mixing. We determine the steady states and obtain explicitly computable threshold conditions, and then perform stability analysis.

The most controversial couple to ever appear on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is headed back to the silver screen, because RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the Amy's Baking Company restaurant owners filmed a show with Dr. Phil on Wednesday.
Samy and Amy Bouzaglo had previously been lip-locked due to an agreement with production company Irwin Entertainment for their own reality TV show, but when that deal recently fell through, the couple jumped at the opportunity to get back on TV.
"The Bouzaglos are desperate to 'clear their name' and Dr. Phil's producers have been hounding them for quite some time to appear," a source close to the show told Radar.

"They are claiming they are victims, that they are good people, and that they are the polar opposites of what was shown on TV."
But while the Bouzaglos may think they're appearing on the show to have a platform to clear their name, what they may not know is that the show's producers tried to have guests appear with them on the show that directly conflict the Scottsdale, Ariz. restaurant owners.
"I did some posts about their Kitchen Nightmares show, Amy's conviction history, legal docs, Samy's past house deals in Las Vegas, etc. Then Amy looked at my LinkedIn profile. Several months pass, and I get an email from Dr. Phil show producers that seem eager to have me fly to LA to be on the show," one person who was contacted exclusively told Radar.
"They mentioned things like they don't ambush people, etc. They just kept saying they wanted to have a 'discussion,' but I was attempting to understand how they would spin the show because I was worried that they might not be upfront with me."

As Radar previously reported, the Bouzaglos feel like they "re-invented reality TV" and have been actively looking for an outlet to air their side of the story.
"We have to clear our name now…we can't continue like this with the amount of hate that's out there. The reality show is a work in progress. We will have the reality show, we're trying to decide now which direction we're gonna take it," Amy said.
"We kind of re-invented reality TV, because all of the producers that reached out to us said, 'You guys are TV gold because you were real!'"
The person contacted by the Dr. Phil Show, who declined to appear, told Radar: "They were not being entirely descriptive about their intentions for spinning the show, which made me uncomfortable."
