OXFORD, Ohio- Despite being tied at halftime, the Miami University men's basketball team (5-8, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) could not overcome the hot shooting in the second half from Northern Illinois (3-10, 1-0 MAC) and lost its MAC opener, 72-61.
Junior forward Will Felder led the RedHawks in scoring with 15 points and sophomore guard Will Sullivan added a career-high eight rebounds, but it was not enough to give the team its first win in a MAC opener since the 2010-11 season.
The second half belonged to the Huskies, who shot over 60 percent from the field and outrebounded the RedHawks, 17-8.
The Huskies jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead, punctuated by a thunderous dunk from Darrell Bowie. Miami's guards answered with three consecutive buckets from Sullivan, freshman guard Reggie Johnson, and junior guard Quinten Rollins to gain the lead, and a layup from Felder capped a 10-point run to put the RedHawks on top, 10-4. Northern Illinois fought back to tie the game up at 15-15 on a trey from Akeem Springs with just over 12 minutes to play in the half.
Two jumpers from Miami and two free throws from the Huskies put the RedHawks back on top, but another three from Springs gave Northern Illinois a 20-19 edge. Johnson put Miami back in front, however, with baskets on back-to-back possessions, the latter of which from behind the arc. Another two points from Sullivan and the RedHawks found themselves up by six points again, 26-20, with 6:09 left.
The two squads kept it close for the remainder of the half, and the score was tied at 28-28 when both teams headed to their locker rooms. The RedHawks outshot the Huskies in the first half, shooting over 50 percent from the field compared to just under 40 percent for Northern. A pair of Miami players led all players in the first half in scoring and rebounds, with Johnson scoring nine points and Sullivan grabbing five rebounds.
Scoring remained relatively even through the first five minutes of the second half, with the game being locked up at 36-36. Five straight points from the Huskies put them up 41-36, their largest lead of the game to that point. Miami answered back and came within three, 43-40, with 11:00 remaining on two free throws from Felder. The Huskies, however, took control and that five-point lead grew to a 12-point lead, 58-46, in a matter of minutes.
Miami fought back to within eight points, but never came closer, falling behind by as many as 15. The game ended with a final score of 72-61 in favor of Northern Illinois.
Felder's 15 points led the RedHawks, with Johnson and junior guard Allen Roberts also adding double-digit points with 12 and 11, respectively. Aksel Bolin led the Huskies in both points, 11, and rebounds, five, and Bowie and Abdel Nader added 10 points.
The loss snaps a 13-game home winning streak against Northern Illinois and marks only the second time that Miami has lost to the Huskies in Oxford.
The RedHawks continue MAC play this Saturday with a trip to Buffalo for a 7 p.m. game. They return to Millett Hall next Wednesday for a game against Bowling Green, which is also a 7 p.m. tip-off.

U.S. Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, released the attached Republican Staff Analysis examining a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) that claimed there was no statistical relationship between the top statutory tax rate and economic growth.
"The Congressional Research Service report that top tax rates don't matter to the economy has two glaring flaws that lead to the wrong conclusion," says Brady. " The report ignores the total tax burden imposed by federal, state, and local governments on job creators and high income earners, and fails to recognize that top rates today capture a dramatically larger share of income than in the past, including roughly half of all net business income taxed at the individual level."
"The top rate is only one feature of our tax system and by itself tells us nothing about the overall tax burden. And since more and more businesses now file as individual tax payers, the impact on the economy is significantly larger."
Brady says Congress and the White House should focus instead on the effective marginal tax rates on labor and capital because "they have the greatest effect on after-tax income which, in turn, affects the incentive to work, save, and invest."
According to this JEC Republican Staff Analysis, from 1945 to 1963 when the top statutory tax rate was 90 percent, only 1 percent of total Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) was affected. Over time the top statutory tax rate has decreased, but the share of total AGI reported by taxpayers subject to the top rate has increased. In 2007, taxpayers subject to the top rate reported 18 percent of total AGI.
"The economic effects of the exorbitant top rates in the past are not comparable with the effects of an increase in today's top rate." Brady concluded, "Before Congress decides it can raise the top statutory tax rate without adverse effects, Congress needs to get the relevant facts about how taxes really affect the economy."

Film History
Sarah Lawrence students approach film, first and foremost, as an art. The College's film history courses take social, cultural, and historical contexts into account; but films themselves are the focus of study and discussion. Students seek artistic value equally in Hollywood films, art films, avant-garde films, and documentaries, with emphasis on understanding the intentions of filmmakers and appreciating their creativity. As a valuable part of a larger humanistic education in the arts, the study of film often includes exploration of connections to the other arts, such as painting and literature. Close association with the filmmaking and visual arts departments enables students working in these areas to apply their knowledge of film to creative projects. And within the discipline, the study of film gives students insight into stylistic techniques and how they shape meaning. Advanced courses in specific national genres, forms, movements, and filmmakers—both Western and non-Western—provide a superb background in the history of film and a basis for sound critical judgment. Students benefit from New York City's enormously rich film environment, in which film series, lectures, and festivals run on a nearly continuous basis.

I wanted to let everyone know that Brent Harrison (New Albany Park Dept.), Adam Higdon, and myself all met out at the course yesterday for a workday. The end-result of our work was a significant change to hole #8. The long tee pad and basket placement both have changed.
When finishing up hole seven proceed directly out the side of the woods and you will find the long tee pad. (Do not turn around and walk back out the same way you entered the woods) The short pad placement did not change.
The basket placement has moved about 30-50 feet from its original location and is on the same tree line as before, but a little further back towards the trees. You may want to take a look at where the basket is before attempting your shot.
There are several more changes to come. We are going to plan a larger workday on the weekend to reconstruct hole #10. We have a design in mind, but it will take a lot of clearing to make this happen. We will keep everyone posted and if anyone wants to join us for the work, we would appreciate the help! This course is becoming a really nice course, and once we get some additional changes implemented (and if we can get the six additional holes approved and put in), it will only become better.

Dude needs to look in the gosh damn mirror.
You get the ball......you turn it over.......you get the ball.....you get fouled and make at best 1 free throw........you get the ball and get stripped..........you get the ball and throw wild shots off the backboard.
You're getting the right amount of touches, if you got more it would be a bigger mess.
Soooo.... you come to a new team and you begin to cause a situation of "either-or" with the iconic Franchise Player on that team....
The "immaturity" of this guy is really astounding if this is true. Especially in light of the fact that most of his potential shot attempts were either stripped away from him or negated by fouls because of his own ineptitude at the free throw line.

As a blogger, you pore over your choices of words and images to make sure you're communicating exactly what you intend to your readers. Why not add another tool to your arsenal? Using video can be an awesome way to illuminate, instruct, or just create a different kind of connection with your audience.
You might think that video is just for news sites or college kids with too much time on their hands. Think again — video can be used to enhance your content in lots of ways:
- Were you going to include a photo gallery? Try video instead.
- Do you write a DIY or cooking blog? Host your own show.
- Mommyblogger? We'd love to see your rugrats' antics.
- Write a travel site? Give us the flavor of the medina you just visited in Casablanca with a video tour.
- Use your blog as a journal? Try talking right to the camera to add a raw dimension to your musings.
Now that you can shoot high-quality video with a DSLR camera or mobile phone, the sky's the limit. Heck, you can upload videos directly from your iPhone to your blog!
Once you have that perfect clip to push your post over the top, upload it right to your site with VideoPress, available both as a plugin for self-hosted WordPress.org sites and as an upgrade for WordPress.com sites. VideoPress is made to work with WordPress, so uploading couldn't be simpler. And since you're uploading the video right to your own site, there are none of the downsides of using a third-party video service: no ads, no maximum length for what you can upload, and best of all, no redirecting, so your readers start and end on your video and stay on your site the whole time.
Since VideoPress is an Automattic joint, you know the technical side (that is, the side you never have to worry about) is going to be clean and efficient. VideoPress automatically selects the best video player for your viewers. Readers see a preview, including a title and preview image, as the full video loads. The preview is lightweight and HTML-based, so the rest of your page loads with no lag time.
WordPress and VideoPress work together to make publishing online video easy as can be, so the only limit is what you can capture.

Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - The Minnesota Twins have signed first baseman/designated hitter Kendrys Morales to a one-year contract, opening a roster spot by designating outfielder Jason Kubel for assignment.
The deal for Morales is worth a pro-rated $12 million.
Morales played 156 games for Seattle last year, hitting .277 with 34 doubles, 23 home runs and 80 runs batted in. He appeared in 122 games as the club's designated hitter and will likely spend a majority of time in that role with Joe Mauer as the club's primary first baseman.
The 30-year-old switch-hitter declined a qualifying offer from the Mariners in the offseason and any team that would have signed him prior to the just- concluded draft would have lost a draft pick.
Morales broke into the majors with the Angels in 2006 and spent the next six years with club. He is a career .280 hitter with 102 homers and 345 RBI in 620 games.
Following a career-best season in 2009, in which he recorded 43 doubles, 34 home runs and 108 RBI, Morales was limited to 51 games in 2010 and missed the entire 2011 season because of a severe leg injury. He suffered a fractured lower left leg celebrating a walk-off grand slam on May 29, 2010 against Seattle.
Kubel spent his first seven seasons with Minnesota before a two-year stint with Arizona and Cleveland, then rejoined the Twins on a minor league contract in December. He was batting just .224 with a homer and 13 RBI in 45 games this season.

After losing at the Shark Tank on Friday night, Luke Watson admitted that there is little else his side could have done in the abysmal conditions.
The Sharks scored the only try of the match through scrumhalf Scott Mathie, who dived over with only seven minutes remaining in the game. The Sharks' 16-6 victory sees the Vodacom Cheetahs, who beat the Valke by a convincing 78-8 in Bloemfontein on Saturday, move to the top of the Absa Currie Cup log.
"It wasn't much of a contest on Friday night," Watson told keo.co.za. "The weather played it's part in ruining what was supposed to be a great game of running rugby.
"Having said that, we have to give the Sharks credit; we're not making excuses for losing. They played a better tactical game, and were effective in kicking the ball into our half of the field."
Both sides struggled to string together more than a few phases at a time due to a very slippery ball. Despite the home team excelling in the set-pieces, Watson believes that there wasn't much that separated the two teams in this department.
"Apart from that one scrum of ours that got wheeled, I think the guys stood up very well in both the scrums and the lineouts. I don't feel that they dominated us."
Vodacom Western Province will have to be at their best in both of these areas when they host the men from Pretoria at Newlands this Friday. Watson confirmed that although it will be tough, there is no extra pressure on WP to win.
"The Bulls rely a lot on their scrums and it will be a good challenge for our boys," he said. "We really need to win this match, but that is our attitude towards every game. The Cheetahs may now top the log and we may have lost one match, but it would be ridiculous to let that effect our game.
"I don't think that much will change for the Bulls game. If we panicked after one loss, then I suppose that would say a lot about us as a team."

House passes 2013 funding for Commerce, Justice
Thursday - 5/10/2012, 7:50pm EDT
The House approved the first spending bill for 2013, setting operating budgets for the Commerce and Justice Departments and for science-related agencies, such as NASA.
However, the White House has threatened to veto the legislation because it proposes deeper cuts than spending caps agreed to in last summer's Budget Control Act. A statement of administration policy said the House bill also "undermines" key investments in export promotion, community safety and space flight.
The House approved the $51.1 billion appropriations bill in a 247-162 vote. The funding level is $1.6 billion below last year's level and $731 million below the administration's official request.
Commerce Department
The spending bill includes a total of $7.7 billion for the Commerce Department, which represents an increase of $96 million above current levels but is $280 million below the administration's official budget request.
- $2.9 billion for the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), an increase of $255 million above fiscal year 2012 levels.
- $830 million for research and standards work at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). However the House did not include new funding for the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.
- $5 billion for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- $878.7 million for the Census Bureau — a $9.6 million cut compared to FY 2012 levels.
Justice Department
The bill provides $27.1 billion in total discretionary spending for the Justice Department, which is $11 million above FY 2012 levels but $44 million below the White House request.
- $8.3 billion for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is $148 million above FY 2012 and $34 million above the President's request.
- $2.4 billion for the Drug Enforcement Agency, which is $50 million above FY 2012 levels
Science agencies
The bill provides $24.9 billion for a number of science-related agencies, including the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, NASA and the National Science Foundation.
- $17.6 billion for NASA, which includes $37 billion for space exploration
- $7.3 billion for the National Science Foundation
Cybersecurity provisions
The spending bill also contains new directives relating to agency cybersecurity practices. The bill directs the agencies funded by the appropriations bill to submit to the committee an annual report describing cyber attacks — both actual and attempted — against the agency, as well as the steps the agency took to respond to them.
The report also must include the agencies' policies for "ensuring safe use of computer and mobile devices by individual employees."
Amendments approved along partisan divide
The appropriations bill also included a number of amendments, approved in rapid succession in mostly party-line votes.
One would prevent the Justice Department from taking legal action against state laws requiring voter identification and another would stop the Census Bureau from conducting detailed, long-form surveys that many lawmakers find to be unnecessarily intrusive.
Republicans were successful earlier this week in blocking the Justice Department from participating in lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of new tough state immigration laws, including those of Arizona and Alabama.
The measure is the first of 12 annual appropriations bills to hit the House floor as GOP leaders have front-loaded the process with measures that have won bipartisan backing in the Appropriations panel. It's unclear how much support the measures will get from the broader Democratic membership.

Drivers automatically get the IQ Routes and advanced lane guidance features when they buy their next map or activate their latest map guarantee, which allows them to get the latest map for free within 60 days after they first use their device. "Now users of Carminat TomTom can have smarter and safer routing by easily downloading the features themselves – a first in the automotive industry," said Giles Shrimpton, TomTom's Managing Director Automotive. "This is an important milestone in our ongoing drive to help the automotive industry meet the needs of its customers." Carminat TomTom was introduced in April 2009, first with the launch of the new Clio and Scenic, later on the Megane and Laguna and most recently on the new Fluencebringing affordable in-dash navigation to the mainstream car industry. - ENDS – Notes for editors 1 IQ Routes
TomTom IQ Routes applies the historical travel time experience of millions of drivers to calculate the fastest route possible. The technology is based on historical speed measurements for every time of day, one for every road segment, from large motorways to small local roads. In up to 35% of all cases, the use of IQ Routes results in driving a faster route, saving significant travel time as well as money and fuel. 2 Advanced lane guidance
This handy feature clearly shows drivers which lane to take at junctions, so they don't miss turns. This is particularly useful on busy highway intersections, where getting in the right lane at the right time can be stressful and potentially dangerous. 3 Maps available for Carminat TomTom users are: United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, Benelux, DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), France, Iberia (Spain, Portugal), Italy, Scandinavia, , Full Europe (including Russia, Turkey Greece), Asia Africa (Southern Africa, Brunei, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore), Australia & New Zealand, America (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay).

Dog Liver Failure
Dog Liver Failure
Liver failure or hepatic failure is the result of poor blood flow to a dog's liver, the effects of drugs that are toxic to their liver or poor oxygen supply. It can also be the result of infection, chemicals and heat exhaustion. Failure of the liver can cause negative effects on other systems in the dog's body, such as with the nervous system, the intestinal tract, the blood and the liver/gall bladder system. The instance of liver failure can be seen in dogs of all ages and breeds.
Causative Agents
• Pain medications such as acetaminophen (Dog Tylenol Poisoning), antibiotics, Dog Cancer Chemotherapy, anesthetics and anti-parasite medication
• Toxins produced by mold or fungi
• Amanita phylloides mushrooms
• Leptosporosis
• Canine hepatitis
Things such as heat stroke, Dog Cancer treatments, shock or any form of circulatory failure can also cause liver failure.
Signs and Symptoms
• A yellow tint to the skin and/or mucus membranes called Dog Jaundice
• Stupor followed by coma
• Abdominal enlargement that is usually the result of ascites. This is an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity
• Bleeding
Your veterinarian will perform a series of tests. The initial blood tests will include complete blood counts, chemical profile, ammonia levels, clotting profile, and serum bilirubin, which calculates the bile levels in the blood. Your vet will also do a urinalysis.
X-rays of the abdomen and ultrasound of the abdomen may also be done.
Surgical procedures can range from a laparoscopic exam which can visualize the area with small instruments inserted through a small incision, or an exploratory laparotomy. An exploratory laparotomy will be done by surgically exploring the abdominal cavity and all of the organs in it.
The treatment will depend on the cause. Underlying disorders that have caused the failure will determine treatment. Generally hospitalization will be initiated with fluid and electrolyte therapy. Fluids will be added for Dog Dehydration, hypoglycemia and metabolic imbalance.
Dog Cancer Dietary Supplements and nutritional support will be needed. Antibiotic therapy for infections and medicines that control vomiting will be administered. By stopping excessive vomiting, your pet will have less chance to develop further metabolic imbalances.
Diuretics will help eliminate the excess body fluids.
Mannitol is a drug that prevents swelling of the brain and is often given.
Lactulose is a medication that slows down the absorption of ammonia from the gastrointestinal tract. This may be given through your dog's mouth or in an enema. Antibiotics can also be given as an enema.
Vitamin K will assist with coagulation of the blood and prevent hemorrhage.
Home Care
Be sure to administer all of the medications that your vet has ordered. Adjust your dog's diet as directed by your veterinarian. There will be follow-up evaluations on regular schedules to monitor the progress of the condition. It is important to keep these appointments.
Prognosis varies on the amount of liver that has been destroyed. It is also based on whether or not the underlying condition can be controlled. Complications can interfere with progress.
It is difficult to prevent liver failure. Vaccinations for hepatitis and leptospirosis may help and avoiding drugs that are metabolized by the liver will also help.

How to Rally for Loved Ones
Spotlight on the Rally for Dana
The Rally for Dana has raised more than $17,000. It's also one of the most visited campaigns on Rally.org, in one of the most popular fundraising categories: personal health. We reached out to Steve de Brun, Rally leader for this campaign, to see what advice he has for other leaders looking to grow their campaigns:
Dana has spent more than four years battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Dana's friends and family were saddened to learn that doctors recently found a new growth on her neck, so loved ones are coming together to donate funds to help Dana cover her rising medical costs. We asked Dana's friend Steve de Brun, who is heading up the Rally, what advice he had for other cause leaders:
Q. What have you found to be the most effective way to spread the word about your cause?
A: 100% of the people who have helped Dana know her personally, or are friends of the fundraisers. So we collectively reached out to these friends and asked them to consider contributing, and to disseminate the message to people who would care. We did this via email, and we also set up a Facebook Group that many people joined, which helped us to not bombard people with too many emails!
Q. What are some strategies you suggest to encourage donations?
A: We carefully chose imagery that reminds people of their love and friendship Dana. We emailed people a few times, and posted more frequently to Facebook, always driving people back to our Rally.org URL. And we created a video, which is essentially a slideshow of many images put to an emotional song, cut in iMovie on my Mac: https://vimeo.com/79963052
Steve reached out to supporters via email to regularly share personal updates, as well as ideas about how to extend the campaign's reach. One of those ideas was a suggested message for folks to post through Facebook, Twitter and/or LinkedIn. Here's an example of an email message that Steve shared with supporters to encourage donations:
Hello Friends of Dana,
First off, thank you for giving to our online campaign to support Dana at https://rally.org/dana. Your in kind and monetary gifts are a HUGE relief to Dana, and we are more than 50% of the way towards our fundraising goal!
For the second phase of our campaign, we are asking you to share this to your networks & communities who also know Dana (or don't!) but don't know about the campaign — and might also be looking for a general update to how she's doing. There are a select few of us on this email list — but we each represent a much larger crew of people who know and love Dana.
Here's a sample message that you can use as a starting point, which includes a link to a video that we made for Dana:
"My friend Dana needs your help – she's in the middle of a 4-year fight with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and we, her friends, have organized and online fundraiser here: https://rally.org/dana . Here's a video that tells her story in images and song: https://vimeo.com/79963052 "
Thanks so much for reading this and loving Dana. And thanks for sharing this with your communities. And don't forget that we have an active Facebook group to support Dana and keep the conversations going at https://www.facebook.com/groups/318125168328619/.
Best wishes,
Holly Roberson & Steve de Brun

|All Children's Hospital Ranks Top in Florida in "Best Children's Hospitals" Survey
(Jan. 4, 2007) St. Petersburg, FL — A national parenting publication has once again named All Children's Hospital as one of the top 25 children's hospitals in the United States and the best in Florida.
Child Magazine today announced the highly anticipated results of its 4th exclusive survey to identify the top children's hospitals in the country. The results of the comprehensive survey appear in the February 2007 issue of the magazine on newsstands nationwide January 9th – was based on strict criteria and data compiled during the magazine's extensive 9-month investigation. Throughout the four-survey history of Child magazine rankings, All Children's is the only Florida hospital and one of only nine nationally to be acknowledged among the top 25 in every survey.
"The Child Magazine survey is unlike many others which only reflect the popularity or notoriety of an institution," noted Gary Carnes, President and CEO, All Children's Health System. "This survey is a substantive comparison of services and quality measures. To be considered the top pediatric provider in the state of Florida is a great honor, due largely to the daily efforts of our skilled and dedicated staff as well as the guidance of our Boards and support of a generous community. We are proud to add this award to the 2006 Tampa Bay Business Journal Best Business of the Year award and the 2006 Outstanding Business of the Year honors from the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce."
The comprehensive 247-question Child survey, guided by the leading pediatric experts, examines vital medical information including survival rates, the number of complex procedures and intricate surgeries conducted, volume of research studies, efforts to reduce medical errors, and the quality and training of the doctors and nurses-as well as child-friendliness, support for families, and community involvement. The survey sent to 116 full members of the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions last August. Seventy-six hospitals completed the survey. The responses were graded to determine the best hospitals overall and the leaders in six pediatric subspecialty areas.

Hello Atheists, Christians, agnostics who don't know why they're here.
I tried becoming a member but the board keeps regaring me as "guest". Oh well.
I heard the interview with Sam Harris on Black Op Radio a while back. It was bitter sweet really. I was glad that he is addressing issues involving the Bible itself, such as passages that sound like something coming out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting as opposed to all the lovey dovey stuff that Christians keep talking about. Too many things about Christianity have been swept under the rug and now Christians are getting a good kick in the ass for it. But at the same time I was kind of bummed out that the interview was so one-sided. But I guess I can't complain 'cause it wasn't a trial or anything.
But if it was a trial, and we were the jury, judging Christianity among other religions, we would have to be completely unbiased. No matter what we thought before, we had to be open to all sides to be sure that it was fair. The prosecution in this case would of course be Sam Harris and his book, and the defense would be anyone's guess.
I think that there is nothing more complicated than religion. Even if you bought the Bible and read the whole thing, you would need several other books to give commentary on the historical and theological aspects of it. You might even want to get a different translation to get a more rounded view. This is why I think a lot of good questions Atheists raise should be addressed. Don't think that you're the only ones who ask these questions, there are many websites that address several Biblical issues.
If there's anyone who would want to learn about religion, for whatever the reason, I suggest you go to this website:
I need to warn you, this site has articles that are very long, and are reserved for only those who want to seriously take the time to learn about Christianity. But I highly recommend it because it addresses probably every serious question you could ask about the Bible itself.
I hope you all have an open mind!

WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, today released the 2012 Joint Economic Report to provide an overview of the state of the U.S. economy in 2012 and assist policymakers as they deal with the fiscal cliff.
"The 2012 JEC Annual Report details the progress we've made toward recovery from the Great Recession," said Chairman Casey. "While the economy improved in 2012, far too many Americans are still out of work and the impending fiscal cliff threatens to return our economy to recession. Republicans and Democrats must work together to approach the fiscal cliff in a balanced way that allows us to continue to focus on job creation in 2013."
Mandated by the 1946 Employment Act, the JEC's Annual Report examines the progress of the economic recovery in 2012 and identifies the challenges that remain toward achieving full recovery.
The year 2012 was characterized by modest economic growth as labor markets continued to recover from the Great Recession. However, if the spending cuts and revenue increases associated with the fiscal cliff are triggered, the economy is at risk of reentering recession in 2013, the report states.
The unemployment rate dropped 0.8 percent in the first 11 months of the year, reaching a low of 7.7 percent in November. The economy has recovered nearly 60 percent of the private-sector positions lost during and in the wake of the Great Recession.
The full report is available here.

Once Sonar installation is complete, you are ready to run analyses on your projects.
Scope of Analysis
Sonar has capability to perform analysis on 15+ languages. The outcome of this analysis is going to be mainly measures of metrics and violations of coding rules. However, what gets analyzed by Sonar will vary depending on the language analyzed:
- On all languages, Sonar performs static analysis of source code (java files, Cobol programs, etc.)
- Sonar can perform static analysis of compiled code on certain languages (.class files or jars in Java, dll files in C#, etc.)
- Sonar can perform dynamic analysis of code on certain languages (execution of unit tests in Java, C#, etc.)
Running Analysis
First, you should install the language of the project to be analyzed either by a direct download or through the update center.
Browse the links below for more information on:
- The clients:
- Analysis properties:
For a project embedding different languages, each of them needs to be analyzed by running its own Sonar analysis. Then the results can be aggregated at project level, using the Views plug-in.

Sick and tired of Boeing's demands, threats
•Funding transportation and port improvements. Realspeak: Yes, Boeing, we realize that you like to contract out your manufacturing to countries which allow you to exploit the workforce and the environment, and we will help you do that by building you ports, at taxpayer expense, in order to facilitate bringing those parts home.
Working with local government to ensure streamlined permitting. Realspeak: Go ahead, Boeing, and spew whatever poison you want to into our Puget Sound. We will stifle dissent from those environmentally-minded citizens who would like to eat seafood more than once a month.
Fostering better relationships between labor and management. Realspeak: We will back you up when the uppity unions try to fend off takeaways and have the audacity to expect that the profits actually be shared with those who created them: the workers.
Don't get me wrong. I worked for Boeing for a number of years before changing careers, and I have many family members who were lifelong employees there, when Boeing was still a good company. Those invited to design the future of the company were the innovators; the risk-takers; the engineers. But something happened in the 1990s. Perhaps it was the takeover by McDonnell Douglas, which was disguised as a merger. At any rate, the bean-counters assumed control; the executives, instead of coming up through the ranks, began to be bought from other companies for exorbitantly high salaries; partnership with the community, which had been part of company culture from the beginning, was abandoned; the bottom line became the driving force; and the soul of the company was lost.
Now they make demands; we try to meet them, and they slap us by moving headquarters to Chicago, and assembly lines to right-to-work states. We are threatened repeatedly by this bully, which waves jobs over our heads in order to get concessions and special tax privileges. This is extortion, and I am sure that I am not the only citizen of this state who is sick and tired of it. It is time for our politicians to realize that Boeing will never give anywhere near what it takes, and quit trying to accommodate them. I believe that there is life after Boeing -- if they leave, we will replace them with companies who will not abuse us. The Boeing we grew up with -- which made Seattle the "Jet City" -- left a long time ago anyway.
Our state is failing to properly fund education, and cutting other services that benefit all of us. Can we really afford to keep subsidizing a wealthy corporation?

There are many negative messages about media, and how viewing and interacting with it might harm your child.
In fact, research shows that children can benefit from media. The benefits depend on how old your child is, and what kind and quality of media your child is using.
For children under two, there are no benefits from any media. For children aged 2-8, carefully chosen TV programs, movies and computer games offer many developmental and social benefits. In addition to these media, social networking sites can have social benefits for teenagers.
For younger children, the developmental benefits of media include developing:
For older children, there are:
Teenagers can develop their:
Deciding whether a TV program, movie, computer game or website is good quality can be tricky. You can be guided by the age classification, and you can use your own judgment of whether it's high quality, challenging and well made. Other parents and your child's teachers can also be a useful source of information about quality media that's also good for kids.
Content that has a good story that doesn't depend on violence or action for its entertainment value is always worth looking for. But content that includes violence or action mixed with drama and good narrative can be insightful and educational. For example, older children might benefit from watching a movie such as Schindler's List.
TV programs and movies that give your child the chance to explore places, animals, people, ideas, issues and cultures he couldn't see or connect with otherwise can inspire him to try new activities and engage in new ideas. This can be done through playing, creating something or finding out more about a topic.
Movies or TV programs with good role models can also positively influence your child. Good role models are people or characters who are doing things or behaving in ways that you wouldn't mind your child copying, or that you would like your child to copy.
Movies and TV programs can also be a good way to expose your child to diversity, especially ethnic diversity.
Software and websites that get children drawing pictures or making up stories or rhymes can foster creativity. For preschoolers especially, this can also be a way for them to express ideas and feelings. Computer games that give young children simple choices – choosing a character or finding a background for a picture – can also help your child make creative decisions.
Interactive computer games and websites can help your child learn more effectively.
Using avatars or games can give older children and teenagers the opportunity to develop their identity by enabling them to 'try on' different physical and psychological characteristics.

Time-Lapse Tuesday: Cloud Forest in Colombia
Catch the clouds as they make their way through this valley in Colombia.
If there were ever a country that suffered from a case of seriously bad press, it's Colombia. It's not well known by travellers, so the border feels like crossing one of the last frontiers of travel. Colombia is ripe for discovery, and there is a little of everything: green valleys, golden beaches and snow-capped mountains, colonial fortresses and Bogota's frenetic energy... everything, it seems, except tourists. From intellectual Medellin to Cali's salsa clubs (birthplace of both cumbia and Gabriel Garcia Marquez) Colombia is musical and literary in equal measures. Welcoming and intelligent, the spicy, fun-loving Colombians too may surprise you. And while it is true that travel in Colombia demands some extra awareness, care, and preparation, the extra energy is rewarded a hundredfold.
Catch the clouds as they make their way through this valley in Colombia.

Character actor Harry Morgan, beloved for his roles on both M*A*S*H and Dragnet, has died at the age of 96. He passed away at his home in Los Angeles from unknown causes but had recently been treated for pneumonia. His son Charles, a lawyer in Los Angeles, confirmed his death.
Born Harry Bratsberg in Detroit, he worked on stage before making his way to Hollywood in 1942. He originally used the screen name Henry Morgan but changed it to Harry in the 1950s to avoid confusion with radio's Henry Morgan. He appeared in more than 100 films throughout his career, often playing bad guys and sidekicks.
On the small screen, he played numerous guest roles and was a regular on several TV shows, including Pete and Gladys, December Bride, The Richard Boone Show, Kentucky Jones, The D.A., Hec Ramsey, and Blacke's Magic. He was most recognized however for his work on two other series; Dragnet and M*A*S*H.
On Dragnet, he played Officer Bill Gannon as slightly less-serious cop when compared to Jack Webb's always-by-the-book Sgt. Joe Friday. He returned to role as Captain Bill Gannon in the 1987 film comedy Dragnet, opposite Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks.

Irish Wolfhound
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Irish Wolfhound is a member of the Hound and Southern Groups.
Male: 120 lb min.; female: 105 lb. min.
Male: 32 inches min.; female: 30 inches min.
The coat color is gray, brindle, red, black white or fawn.
The Irish Wolfhound sports a shaggy, rough coat that offers some resistance from the cold and damp. The coat may also protect from other animal's teeth.
This dignified breed exhibits courage when needed. The Irish Wolfhound is quite willing and thoughtful.
Country of Origin:
In 1500 B.C., large dogs arrived in Ireland from Greece. The Irish Wolfhound was documented in Rome, 391 A.D. These dogs battled wild animals in arenas. The Cu, as large hounds were known, accompanied Irish chieftains in the hunt for wolves, elk, and wild boar. Royalty received these dogs as gifts. The breed disappeared from Ireland in 1766, yet restored in 1869 when the last true Wolfhound bred with the Scottish Deerhound, Great Dane, Borzoi and Tibetan Wolfdog.
Du Faoil (Irish)
This patient breed is calm and easy going. The loyal Irish Wolfhound is friendly and sensitive.
Firm, but gentle and consistent training will help this breed. As a puppy, it needs self-confidence to grow into a confident and sweet-tempered dog. Train your pet not to pull on the leash. Socialize this dog with other animals while young.
With a history of hunting prowess, the Irish Wolfhound loves daily exercise and the chance to stretch its legs during long walks. Other activities include lure coursing.
Owners need to consider the large size and weight of this hound. Provide plenty of room for the dog to stretch out on a soft surface. Feed high quality food. The Irish Wolfhound is loyal to the family, pets and other dogs. With its friendly attitude to everyone, this breed does not have good watchdog abilities.
No breeders listed at this time.

First I've heard of this one. Intrigued to say the least.
This has just arrived on the shelves of perfumeries in France, and today I tried it.
I was very impressed indeed. It has an old school feel to it. High quality ingredients, beautifully blended.
It´s a very spicy and warm fragrance, containing lots of incense. Reminds me a lot of the better Jacques Bogart´s, such as Furyo or Witness.
The really weird thing is that I cannot find it anywhere on the net. It has nothing to do with Black Soul or Black Soul Imperial, (the bottle is totally different - it´s a black coloured version of the classic grey marbled Lapidus Pour Homme).
This has got me confused. I cannot find any reference to it on the net.
Does anyone have information about it ?
First I've heard of this one. Intrigued to say the least.
It´s so strange I´ve googled it and can´t find it,.......or photos of the bottle !!!
Can you take some pics for us, please???
Sounds absolutely fantastic. Extreme version of Ted Lapidus, wow!!
Its stronger than the original?
Is there a Lapidus Black too then? Or did they go straight to Extreme?
Is Lapidus a big seller over there? I've heard of fakes that don't duplicate an existing fragrance, but actually create one out of thin air (I think there was like a Dior J'Adore flanker or something that was entirely fabricated by the dupers).
***For sale:
Iris Pallida 50ml
Ungaro I 75ml
and more! - http://www.basenotes.net/threads/301...n-Man-and-more
Thanks for the pic. Now I know what to look for by sight. First time I've seen it.
Wow this is crazy! How is it that there is no marketing traces of this fragrance on the internet?? This blows my mind but if brands have decided to throw all their money into composition rather than advertising, then I'm all for it! Lol
Spring/Summer Rotation:
Versace Pour Homme
Kenzo Pour Homme (vintage)
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme (vintage)
D& G Masculine
Christian Dior Dune

If smelling good was a crime, I'd be serving a lifetime sentence....

......after a lot of hassle and a whole lot of help from fellow basenoters I finally sussed how to upload photos onto basenotes threads. Many thanks for your help.......and at last, a photo !
I would also like to add that after a second test of this fragrance I have changed my opinion somewhat.
.......the drydown veers toward that "rouge" element found in the likes of Xeryus Rouge etc., which I find cloying.
I would personally describe it as a wintergreen/wint-o-green smell.
This fragrance takes a route that has definitely been done several times before. It is warm and sensual and much less in-the-face as Xeryus Rouge. I did actually get some compliments, but overall it lacks originality.
That has got to be the coolest looking bottle I have ever seen. I'd buy it blind just based on the bottle alone!
Check out my blog Pour Monsieur, a no-nonsense guide to men's fragrances:
Any fragrance that should not be worn in public, should be worn in public.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
I love Xeryus Rouge so I´ll be keeping an eye on this one. Thanks for the info !

The Dreamer from Versace: what does this scent have that is so alluring and enticing towards the opposite sex ?

Does anyone have any info on this one? I got a sample given to me, and I have got to get this one, but I can't find it anywhere. Has it yet to have a retail release in the U.S.?
I always thought this thread was a joke.......................

Top 5:
1. Axe Kilo
2. Lectric Shave
3. Vicks Vapor Rub
4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock
It's here!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm getting me some of this bad boy..!
Recently received it and like it quite a bit. Very inexpensive.
Just bought this blind, based on Ted Lapidus' scents and how good they are. This is, I would say, is T.L. pour Homme with violets. It's got a bubblegum note lurking in there. It's also similar to Bogart's One Man Show Gold Edition. To sum up, it's a blend of TL pour Homme, OMS Gold and Silver Scent. Oh and I like it but not as much as I thought I was going to.

Very inexpensive smell, the problem - cheap is rarely nice.
Available at cheapsmells, buy or not?
It's a good nice scent for autumn but you need to realize it is not going to be niche quality.
it's also available here:
To anyone who has tried this fragrance, a few questions:
(1) Is the bottle made of real glass, or just plastic?
(2) Is it powdery or cloying?
(3) Is it overly fruity in the vein of Givenchy Play/Play Intense?
(4) How does it compare to Lapidus Black Soul? Better, worse, or about as good?

I was so dissapointed in this. I bought a sample off of ebay and totally not what I expected. I love the original Lapidus but this one falls way behind it. There is a minty urine like note in this that I can not stomach. Can anyone shine light on which note it is?
Has anyone else tried this?
I just got a sample of Black Extreme today. I was intrigued by the wintergreen note that many mentioned and wanted to give it a go. Based on first impressions, I'm kind of torn between whether I like it or not. I don't get wintergreen per se, but what I do get is almost a 100 percent authentic replication of the smell you find inside a used book, record, or CD store. Ok, I know this sounds weird, but if you've ever been inside of one of an older one of these stores, there is a distinct smell from the old paper, cardboard album covers, paper CD inserts, and the wooden racks & shelves often used to display them. I'm not sure what notes in Black Extreme are creating this olfactory vision for me, but I'm definitely getting it. I certainly can smell violet leaves, and I'm guessing it's their dusty quality mixed with one of the herbal (wintergreen) type notes that's creating the smell I'm getting. As I said, I'm not sure if I'd want to smell like this or not, but two thumbs up for uniqueness.
Also, I bought a bottle of Lapidus 's Black Soul today as well. On first test, I really like this one. Definitely get the 1 Million comparisons, but with a much spicier/smoky/burnt type drydown mixed with the bubblegum sweetness. I also get a bit of that same camphorous minty/wintergreen note in this one (same as in Black Extreme). I'm guessing this may be a Lapidus house signature note. These are the first Lapidus scents I've tried, & I do like that note, whatever it is.
Ordered a bottle on Fragrancenet for $30.00 shipping and handling. Be sure to use coupon code.

Comments about Camelbak Big Bite Valve Cover:
After the last mtb race left me sucking on dirt every time I took a sip from my exposed valve, I decided to invest in a cover. [$] seemed steep for what it is but there aren't any alternatives. It slipped on easy enough (you have to remove and remount the valve) and covered the valve like it was supposed to. The race took place in the mud and made me a filthy mess but the valve stayed clean. The cover was easy to open one-handed, but sometimes slid down the tube as I was sipping fluid. When I reached for it, sometimes it was there and sometimes it was further up the tube. Also, closing it one-handed was difficult because I had to hold the whole cover up to the valve, then grasp the cover and snap it shut. I tried taking my hands off the handlebars

Adrienne Threatt shops at the Cherry Point commissary every day it's open.
"The only day I don't come is Monday. That's when they're closed," Threatt said as a commissary worker wheeled eight bags of groceries out to her car Tuesday.
Threatt's husband has been in the military for the last 17 years, and she doesn't like the idea that the grocery store could be closed as a cost-cutting measure.
"The commissary is part of the base," she said. "I don't think it would be fair to lose something that we've always had. I shop here for everything from household goods to non-perishables.
"It would be an inconvenience to go off base. The prices are better for sure. For people that don't have a car, it's closer to shop than off base."
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel recently announced the possibility that stateside base commissaries could be closed as the Department of Defense searches for $50 billion in cuts brought on by sequestration, cuts that prompted the closure of Cherry Point's bowling alley.
Navy Cmdr. Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman, said he could not confirm that a plan to close commissaries was in place.
"What I can say is that the Secretary of Defense has made it clear that all options for cost cutting are on the table in order to meet the budget caps associated with the Budget Control Act of 2011," Urban said. "We need to find ways to save money in order to meet the cost savings reductions that are required by law, so we have to look at wide variety of programs in order to save money."
Rick Brink, a spokesman for the Defense Commissary Agency, said nothing official has come out about any closure of stateside commissaries.
Brink said Cherry Point's commissary is one of 245 that the agency manages worldwide. There are 169 in the country, not including Alaska and Hawaii.
Brink said the Cherry Point commissary has about 65 employees, most of whom are part time, as well as baggers and contract workers for a total employment of about 100. The store does about $21 million in annual sales.
Operation of the commissaries is an appropriated fund activity, Brink said, with an annual appropriation from the government of about $1.4 billion.
That means savings for military personnel and their families of about 30 percent, Brink said.
"It's a benefit," he said. "By offering that to the military, it's part of their pay and compensation package. By buying lower-cost groceries, that's money that they can spend for other things. It's a quality-of-life benefit."
And customers know it.
"We buy all of our meats here. They have the best deals," Marine Gunnery Sgt. Charles Eaton said as he, his wife Maria and young children entered the store on Tuesday.
"We buy everything — diapers, wipes, laundry detergent, toilet paper. We love this place," Maria Eaton said.
Jenny Wells, an 80-year-old widow of a military man, said she is on a fixed income and shops at the commissary frequently and buys medicine there.
"I'd be out of luck," Wells said if the commissary should close.
Mary Warehan, of Newport, whose husband was in the military, comes to the commissary to buy her drinking water.
"It's a lot cheaper than Walmart," Warehan said. "That would be terrible if they closed the commissary."
