this team is an embarrassment
What is that 40 points in the paint tonight.
Also why can't out offense have nice movement like this?
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Where is the D?

I am convinced "And 1" has a better offensive scheme than we do...and I realize we are limited. I miss JSmooth too
Shoot i play better with hornets on 2k than they do in real life. Even without Gordon. I don't ever use Anderson. The one who scores the most is Rivers and he dunks it all the time. I haven't even seen him dunk in real life yet. He ain't got hops????

Readiness Criteria
How do you know when you're ready to do work? How much design is un-agile?
Agile teams tend to make the mistake of doing almost no up-front design before plowing into the work at hand. Being agile doesn't meant the work should be a complete mystery when you're being asked to estimate and deliver it. Here at iContact, we're rolling out a checklist that helps us determine when we're ready to move forward from an idea to an Epic and when a Story is ready to go into a sprint.

Trooper A.K. Saucier of the N.C. Highway Patrol said it happens pretty often — she'll approach a car she's stopped and ask for a driver's license.
"Yes, sir," comes the reply, before the motorist stammers, then utters, "er, ma'am."
Saucier chuckled.
"I can't tell you the number of times I've heard, 'I didn't know they had female troopers,'" she said.
They do, but they're few and far between.
Saucier — her first name is Anna — is the lone female patrol trooper stationed in Alamance County. Of about 1,800 troopers across the state, only 47 are women.
"They go through the same training and we demand the same of them we demand of our male troopers," said 1st Sgt. Jeff Gordon, a patrol spokesman. "You ask the women and they'll tell you, they don't want to be treated any differently. They wouldn't have it any other way."
Gordon said the first female graduated Basic Patrol School and became a trooper in 1980. The number of female troopers has gradually increased and the patrol is constantly recruiting more. Patrol representatives are common sights at recruiting fairs at community colleges and four-year colleges.
But ask any trooper — male or female — and they'll tell you a job with the patrol is tough, one that's definitely not for everyone. The demands of completing the 30-week Basic Patrol School are exhausting. Gordon said he's had former Marines tell him Patrol School is more draining than boot camp at Parris Island, S.C.
"It's physically challenging as well as mentally challenging," Gordon said.
But for those who complete the school and join the patrol, he said, the rewards are great — employment with one of the most elite law enforcement agencies in the nation.
"It's an honor," Gordon said.
Saucier, 31, has been a trooper almost two years, having started Patrol School in August 2010. She said there were 65 cadets enrolled in her class and 37 graduated — the remainder dropping out along the way. Of the three females in the class, Saucier was the only one to finish.
"It was very lengthy, very tedious," she said.
Saucier said the physical demands were daunting — she described calisthenics at 5 a.m. that consisted of pushups, situps, leg lifts "and then you run, run, run and run" — but said the mental portion was the most challenging. Saucier has two children — ages 8 and 11 — and said being away from them for such an extended period was especially hard.
Before they graduate, cadets are schooled in classes that teach firearms, self-defense, high-speed pursuit and much more.
"We had people dropping out the first day, the first hour," Saucier said, enough of a separation from it now to where she can laugh at the memory. "I made it through, I survived."
She said patrol commanders make training difficult for a reason. Troopers are put in serious situations on a regular basis. They're got to be able to handle a plethora of challenges.
"When we've got somebody pulled over the side of the road, there are lots of times we're not talked to like they're our best friend," Saucier said. "There are days I'm talked to like a dog."
Saucier has an interesting background. She's a native of Houston, Texas, and said she's visited all 48 states in the continental United States. Her mother worked for the schools in Houston and on the first day of summer vacation they'd embark on a 30-day vacation.
"We'd load up the van and off we'd go," Saucier said.
She was married (Saucier and her husband are divorced) to a Marine who was stationed for a period in Okinawa, Japan. She managed a Marine Corps gym there.
"I've always been very athletic, very health-conscious," Saucier said.
She and her husband had returned to the United States and were living in New York when she became interested in a career with the patrol. Saucier said she worked out at a gym and became friends with a former NFL player who joined the New York Highway Patrol after an injury ended his football career. She did a few ride-alongs with the trooper while he was working.
The challenges presented a trooper mesmerized Saucier.
"I fell in love with the job," she said.
Saucier applied to the N.C. Highway Patrol because her ex-husband had been stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville and the couple had spent considerable time in North Carolina. She liked the state. Saucier has been assigned to Alamance County since joining the patrol.
She said she's never had a second thought about her decision to become a trooper.
"I love it, love it," Saucier said.
Saucier is the patrol recruiter for Troop D, District 5, which includes Alamance County. She's constantly looking to spread the word about all the patrol has to offer, to recruit new cadets whenever possible.
Asked if she considered joining a municipal police department rather than the patrol, Saucier said no.
"I wanted the experience of the patrol," she said.
And as for her decision to do so, Saucier said she's grateful.
"It has been absolutely worth it," she said.

I don't know why The Gazette continues to publish syndicated articles by Connie Schultz, unless The Gazette is determined to allow the Socialist left to define our words and social engineer our society through ignorance. Her latest writing uses the word "bullying" the same way people throw around the word "racism." She ought to be ashamed. The Gazette ought to stop buying her articles.
Schultz's most recent article redefines bullying for a public she must think is too stupid to understand the word and too uninformed to know the Constitutional right of assembly. This is insulting to the readership of this newspaper. While she is busy berating the Boy Scouts of America for asking for leadership barring openly gay adults from serving, I don't see her calling out other very discriminatory groups.
For instance, see below:
The Congressional Black Caucus was founded in 1971 by 13 Black members of congress and in its 40 or so-years of existence it has never allowed a white Congressman, Congresswoman or Senator to become a member. This "No Whites" policy of the Congressional Black Caucus was tested back in 2007 by a newly elected House member named Stephen I. Cohen of Tennessee, a white man who represented a 60 percent black district. During Cohen's 2006 campaign he was quoted as saying that if elected he would try to become "the first white member" of the Congressional Black Caucus. Shortly after being sworn in on January 2007, however, Cohen's bid for membership was turned down and he heard from several Black Congressional Caucus members that "whites need not apply."
For Gazette readers who don't understand Schultz and her motives, she is deliberately using language to confuse acts of bullying with Constitutional rights. What she is trying to do is apply peer pressure to undermine a very basic First Amendment right of association and beliefs. People who don't understand Constitutional rights may be swayed by the emotional ploy that Schultz is attempting by using the word "bullying."
But she is completely wrong. The Boy Scouts of America have no obligation whatsoever to reduce or change their standards in order to satisfy any other group or belief system. Keeping their beliefs and standards does not qualify as "bullying," no matter how hard she tries to tell you it does. This is Orwellian and shameful bastardization of the English language for political social engineering of society. I'm appalled by this and you should be, too.
From Cornell Law.edu:
"The right to assemble allows people to gather for peaceful and lawful purposes. Implicit within this right is the right to association and belief. The Supreme Court has expressly recognized that a right to freedom of association and belief is implicit in the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
The government may also, generally, not compel individuals to express themselves, hold certain beliefs, or belong to particular associations or groups."
Are you a pawn of Schultz's fantasy world? Or are you an educated American who understands your rights under the U.S. Constitution?

Nitrites are used in prepared meats (and other food products) as a preservative and color fixative. By using them, jerky, hot dogs and similar products can last for months.
But this convenience, unfortunately, comes at a price. Previously nitrites have been linked to cancer, since under certain conditions they can be turned into carcinogens. Now in a startling new study, evidence suggests they may also be a factor in the rising rates of diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. So unfortunately its another case of where industrial food gained some production benefits…but at what cost? Is some extra shelf life and improved color worth the risk? No doubt we'll be getting some additional studies telling us how safe they are, but who knows, perhaps as time goes on nitrites will go the way of other food additive miracles, like trans fats, remember them? They were in everything, and no one mentioned any potential health risks, then all of a sudden..poof! Almost overnight every product proudly displayed the 100% trans fat free seal. There is a bigger issue here regarding science and nutrition. It seems like every year or so what was safe is found to be dangerous (remember margirine was good, butter bad? how'd that turn out?), of course you could always play it safe and just stick to natural foods!
Well, with nitrites we're not waiting for any more research, we strive to eat food that doesn't have any sodium nitrates or sodium nitrites (or any preservatives, additives, high fructose corn syrup etc. like our prepared beef products) playing it safe and natural is the safe way. A general rule of thumb is that the less processed/additives in food the better.

These cards turned out great! I couldn't be happier!
Photo thank you cards
They came out beautifully on a nice linen card stock. The only thing i would change is the photo overlaps a little on the back of the card but very insignificant detail. Very nice Thank you cards!

beautiful magnets/labels
I purchased the classic band labels and save the date magnets. The design studio allowed me to add my own image instead of a picture to both of the items. The color selection was great and I had fun playing around with different color schemes. I really appreciated the opportunity to purchase a sample before making the overall purchase. The sample looked exactly like the digital proof. The items arrived very quickly and were packaged well (save the dates got caught in the mail). Their customer service center staff were extremely responsive.

A toe sprain is caused by a partial tear of the ligaments that support a toe. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other.
Toe sprains may be caused by:
- Excessive tension
- Trauma
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of getting a toe sprain include:
- Stubbing your toe into something when walking barefoot or while wearing sandals
- Stopping suddenly when running, causing a toe to jam into the end of your shoe
- Landing awkwardly from a jump, causing a toe to jam into the end of your shoe
Sports such as:
- Football
- Soccer
- Rugby
- Basketball
- Running
- Wearing inappropriate footwear for an activity
- Dancing
- Poor coordination
- Rough ground
Symptoms include:
- Pain and tenderness in the toe
- Pain when moving the toe
- Swelling and bruising of the toe
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how you injured your toe. Your toe will be examined to assess the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Images may need to be taken of your toe. This can be done with:
Toe sprains are graded according to ligament damage. The more ligaments damaged, the more severe the injury.
Grade 1
Some microtearing of ligament tissue
Grade 2
- Partial tearing of ligament tissue
- Mild instability of the joint
Grade 3
- Severe or complete tearing of ligament tissue
- Significant instability of the joint
Treatment includes:
- Rest—Avoid using the injured toe.
- Ice—Apply ice or a cold pack to your toe for 15 to 20 minutes. Do this 4 times a day for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.
- Compression—If the injured toe is the big toe, wrap a 2-inch elastic compression bandage around it. Put several wraps around the big toe and then include the rest of the forefoot within the bandage. This will limit swelling of your big toe. Other toes cannot be effectively compressed with a bandage. It is important not to cut off blood circulation to your toe or any body part when using such wraps. Do not make them very tight.
- Elevation—Keep the injured foot raised above the level of your heart for 48 hours. You can use a pillow. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
- Protection—Wear a shoe with a stiff sole to help protect the injured toe.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and over-the-counter pain medications may be advised.
Topical pain medications, such as creams, patches, can also be applied to the skin.
Often, toe sprains cannot be prevented. However, to reduce your risk of getting a sprained toe, wear stiff-soled athletic shoes when playing sports.
Proper treatment of toe sprains can help prevent long-term complications or problems with the toe joint, such as misalignment and immobility.

Jean de Villiers is determined to become the axis around which the Springboks revolve.
In the latest issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale Wednesday 11 June, the Bok centre talks about the pain of missing the 2007 World Cup, what he has that Frans Steyn doesn't (and vice versa), and why he'd be happy to wear the Bok No 13 jersey even though he prefers 12.
He also expresses his burning desire to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand this year. 'It's still a huge goal among the senior players,' he says. 'We achieved a lot under Jake [White], but the fact that we've never won in New Zealand has always bugged me. After this year's Super 14, I'm confident we can head over there with a very strong side and pick up the win.'

Good Samaritan's kindness — and rent money — repaid
Michael O'Leary / The Herald
Peggy Ray holds envelopes containing donations collected by Everett firefighters. Firefighters visited her Tuesday at the Starbucks she manages to deliver the donations.
Michael O'Leary / The Herald
Peggy Ray of Marysville reacts Tuesday after Everett firefighters stopped by the Starbucks she manages to pass along donations they had collected for her.
They stopped by to pass along a handful of checks -- and a community's gratitude.
Ray, 39, is the Marysville soccer mom who provided medical aid to an elderly Kirkland couple involved in a serious traffic accident on I-5 near Everett on Saturday. When she returned to her car, she realized she'd left the doors unlocked and $900 in rent money she had just withdrawn from her bank was stolen.
Ray's story has made national headlines. Donations have poured in.
"It's all just a little overwhelming," Ray said Tuesday.
Today, she is scheduled to go to Seattle for a satellite interview with CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper for a future broadcast.
People have been touched well beyond Snohomish County.
Alexis Garmon, 16, was doing her pre-calculus homework at her home near Louisville, Ky., when she heard a TV news account about the Washington woman losing her rent money while helping others.
"She didn't have to do that," Garmon said. "When she said she would be giving to charities, that's when I said, 'We have to donate.'"
Peggy and her husband, Nathan, have two causes in mind to donate much of the proceeds -- Rhema's Reality for Childhood Cancer Research and the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology.
Rhema Butler, an Olympia-area girl who enjoyed soccer and cheerleading, died of cancer in 2011. She was 14. Ray once had coached her in cheerleading and she helped raise money for the girl's family after the diagnosis.
The Green Cross Academy of Traumatology -- not to be confused with the medical marijuana delivery service -- is a humanitarian assistance organization that helps people in crisis following traumatic events, such as the superstorm Sandy that ravaged the East Coast earlier this month.
Nathan Ray said his wife always has been one to quietly contribute her time and energy to help others. It's a little hard to comprehend the outpouring of support now that she's on the receiving end, he said.
"She has done so much over the years for individuals and organizations, and that's one of the reasons that we are blown away by the response," he said. "It's one of those things where you give and receive with both hands."
On Tuesday, Everett battalion chief Matt Keller presented Peggy Ray with local donations, including $750 from Everett firefighters, that the fire department has collected since Sunday. He did not count the total, but it was well more than $900 she lost.
Keller was on Saturday's emergency call along I-5, which he described as "a high-speed, high-energy wreck" that resulted in serious injuries to the driver, 74, and passenger, 69. Both are expected to recover.
Keller knows what Ray faced when she ran down the embankment to offer aid.
"I think she did some good work," he said. "We wanted to make sure she was made whole."
Lynnwood police officer Bill Koonce also took up a collection, gathering $350 in donations from fellow officers, bicycling friends and relatives.
"There are a lot of things that are bad out there," Koonce said. "It's kind of pleasant when there is something you can do that does some good."
On Monday, a Seattle television station gave Ray a check for nearly $3,800 it collected in donations.
Nathan Ray said it has been a remarkable stretch since Saturday afternoon.
"Then, we were wondering where are we going to be able to borrow the money to pay our rent," he said. "We weren't looking for any of this. There is a lot of good that has come out of all this."

Why Get Tested?
To monitor treatment of thyroid cancer and to detect recurrence; less commonly, to help determine the cause of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
When to Get Tested?
Prior to and after the completion of treatment for thyroid cancer, before and after radioactive iodine therapy, and at regular intervals to monitor for recurrence; it may be ordered in conjunction with other thyroid tests for certain thyroid disorders.
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland. This test measures the amount of thyroglobulin in the blood.
The thyroid gland helps to regulate the rate at which the body uses energy. It is a small butterfly-shaped organ that lies flat against the windpipe in the throat and is composed primarily of very small, ball-shaped structures called follicles that produce and store thyroglobulin (Tg). Thyroglobulin then breaks down as needed into the thyroid hormones T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). The production of these hormones and their release into the bloodstream are stimulated by the pituitary hormone TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone).
Thyroglobulin is not produced by every thyroid cancer, but the most common types, the well-differentiated papillary and follicular thyroid cancers, frequently do, resulting in increased levels of thyroglobulin in the blood.
How is the sample collected for testing?

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

As more Sandy victims are able to move out of New York evacuation shelters, the city is consolidating its housing for families displaced by the storm. That means people—and their pets—must relocate.
An evacuation shelter in Queens was closed this weekend, and its remaining residents and their 51 animals needed to head to another shelter in the Bronx. When the Mayor's Alliance for NYC requested our help moving these animals, we jumped at the chance.
On Saturday, our responders helped move cats, dogs, birds, turtles (named Ike and Tina) and puppies to their new temporary home in the Bronx.
Keeping families together is what the ASPCA's response to Sandy is all about, and we are thrilled to have been able to help people stay with their pets at a time when some have lost everything else.
One man at the evacuation shelter told us Sandy had destroyed his home and belongings, but that he still felt blessed because he had his two dogs with him.
"Everything else can be replaced, but I can't replace my dogs," he said.
Our response to Sandy is ongoing as affected communities remain devastated. For updates on our work, please check the ASPCA blog and follow the ASPCA on Twitter.
On stoop of Braod Channel house with inspection posting uninhabitable was a bowl of water, food and a piece of clothing with a shivering orange tabby cat, the day before the Noreaster. A passerby said the ASPCA was at the Legion Hall. Two people had a milk crate so they said they could take it over. The ASPCA said they would be on Far Rockaway Saturday. I went to donate food and find the cat ASPCA was not there. FEMA, the Red Cross had not seen them. I went back Sunday and found someone who had seen them come for a few hours Saturday. Not there Sunday. Have called 'hotline' and no one knows anything. The ASPCA and the cat are nowhere to be found.
This dog lost it's owner in the storm and now is scheduled to be euthanized. Of all the donations my family and friends have made you need to reach out to rescue groups and SAVE this dog. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE OWNER DIES IN A STORM SO LET'S JUST PUT THE DOG DOWN. I don't think so. http://www.examiner.com/article/new-york-dog-on-death-row-following-death-of-owner-hurricane-sandy
I am wondering if teens can volunteer to help these animals because i am really interested in volunteering on the weekend. Please e-mail me at [email protected]
I am particularly amused with this litte clause slipped in at the end of your plea for donations: "100% of your gift today will go directly to our disaster recovery efforts and others like them in the future." Translation-YOu might think that your donation will actually be sued to help victims of Sandy, but we have no intention of spending all money donated there. We have just learned the legal language we have to use to get away with it.
My husband and I agree to adopt a dog. Prefer a spaniel. We have a Brittany Spapniel from SPCA
The ASPCA claim they are helping rescuing dogs from the horrible disaster that was Sandy, when in fact they are just putting them in shelters that will euthanize most of these dogs. ASPCA is just another corporation trying to get your money, and doesn't help animals at all. In a specific case a dog rescued by the ASPCA, named Oreo, was put in a kill shelter and euthanized eventhough non kill shelters wanted to save this dog. The dog was abused and the ASPCA allowed the dog to be killed, just like thousands of other dogs. Don't give them your money, they are a sham.
Hi, I am 13 years old and I always watch ASPCA on TV. I admire all of the staff on the show. They help so many animals and always try to give as many animals a home as posible. I would really like to become and Animal cop one day. I hope that animals keep getting the attention tou are giving them and that the ASPCA keeps helping them. Keep up the magnifisant work!

Lockhart intent on bringing planet classical down to earth
La Jolla Music Society presents the BBC Concert Orchestra, Keith Lockhart conducting
When: 8 p.m. Feb. 15
Where: Copley Symphony Hall, 750 B St., downtown
Admission: $27-$97
Phone: (858) 459-3728
There are few conductors more American than Keith Lockhart. He's American-born, American-educated and the music director of what's often called "America's Orchestra," the Boston Pops.
So what's Lockhart doing conducting a quintessentially British program of Britten's Sea Interludes, Elgar's Cello Concerto (with Sophie Shao) and "Enigma" Variations and Butterworth's "The Banks of Green Willow" with the BBC Concert Orchestra, which the La Jolla Music Society brings to Copley Symphony Hall on Friday?
The explanation is logical enough: Although Lockhart, who succeeded John Williams as the Boston Pops' music director in 1995, is indelibly tied to the pops, he's always had a more "serious" job on the side.
He was music director of the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, the Utah Symphony, and since 2010, principal conductor of the BBC Concert Orchestra.
"It was fun preparing this program because every British orchestral musician has played the ("Enigma") Variations pretty much since they could brush their teeth," Lockhart said. "It really is national music for them and they have a high degree of familiarity with it.
"That makes it a challenge coming in as a relative outsider because you don't want to present yourself as knowing more about it than they do. On the other hand, it's your job to put your overarching interpretation on it. We had a great time working on it, actually. I learned a couple things and I hope they learned one or two things."
Mind the gap
If you've never heard of the BBC Concert Orchestra (one of five BBC orchestras), maybe that's because you are an American. The British have been listening to it on the BBC since its founding in 1952. Its broadcast on BBC 2, "Friday Night is Music Night," is among the oldest continuing radio programs in the world and still reaches more than a million listeners. Comprised of 55 musicians with a repertoire ranging from the classics and jazz to experimental and rock music (Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood was composer-in-residence until recently), you've likely heard it on any number of BBC-originated shows, including "Planet Earth."
"It's a wonderful ensemble," said Lockhart, speaking on the phone from Boston. "There's a real feeling of collegiality that extends all the way up to the podium and I like how they approach making music. They are a very versatile group and they dig into everything with the same amount of commitment."
That's something Lockhart can relate to. He's made a living bridging pops and classical.
"I've had that experience pretty much the majority of my career," Lockhart said. "I spent 11 years as music director in Utah, where I would do Mahler (Symphony No.) Six for a weekend, and then fly overnight to Florida to start a Glen Miller tour with the (Boston) Pops."
He's not about to equate a Mahler slow movement with Miller's "In the Mood."
"But I do think the hallmark of being a good musician is you can assimilate a style and you can present it authentically at the highest point of your art," he said. "And I've always felt I love the variety. I love not having to be quite so intense all the time. It's kind of like acting in the Royal Shakespeare Company and doing a sitcom."

Democrats toughen stance on trimming benefits
Saturday - 11/17/2012, 6:07pm EST
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's re-election has stiffened Democrats' spine against cutting popular benefit programs such as Medicare and Social Security. Their new resolve could become as big a hurdle to a deal that would skirt crippling tax increases and spending cuts in January as Republicans' resistance to raising tax rates on the wealthy.
Just last year, Obama and top Democrats were willing during budget negotiations with Republicans to take politically risky steps such as reducing the annual inflation adjustment to Social Security and raising the eligibility age for Medicare.
Now, with new leverage from Obama's big election victory and a playing field for negotiations that is more favorable in other ways, too, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats are taking a harder line.
"I've made it very clear. I've told anyone that will listen, including everyone in the White House, including the president, that I am not going to be part of having Social Security as part of these talks relating to this deficit," Reid, D-Nev., told reporters.
Reid's edict would appear to take a key proposal off the table as an ingredient for a deal on avoiding the "fiscal cliff," the year-end combination of expiring President George W. Bush-era tax cuts and harsh across-the-board spending cuts.
At issue is the inflation adjustment used by the government to calculate cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security and other federal programs. A less generous inflation measure that takes into account consumers finding alternatives when prices go up could reduce deficits by more than $200 billion over the next decade.
It's a no-brainer for many budget wonks because it means gradual, less noticeable curbs to the growth of benefits. It also means about $70 billion more tax revenues over 10 years because automatic rises in tax brackets to account for inflation would be smaller.
That new inflation index, known as chained Consumer Price Index, is a magic elixir for budget writers. But it's anathema to many liberals, who say that moving to the new cost-of-living measure could cut average retiree benefits by about $600 a year a decade after taking effect and mean a cut of about $1,000 a year after 20 years.
"Think about it this way. You're standing on the deck of a boat and you're in very deep water and they want you to swim, but they're going to put a log chain around your ankle," Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, told a group of liberal activists assembled for a rally Thursday in a Senate hearing room. "That's chained CPI."
Sixteen months ago, Obama's White House took a different view during talks with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on a possible budget deal. A White House draft offer by top Obama aide Rob Nabors, made public by Washington Post author Bob Woodward, proposed several controversial changes to benefit programs, including the lower inflation adjustment, raising the eligibility age for Medicare and higher Medicare premiums.
Those negotiations, however, were conducted on a playing field that favored Republicans. It was less than a year after Obama's self-described "shellacking" in the 2010 elections and the president was desperate to win an increase in the government's borrowing cap and avoid a government default on its debt that should shatter financial markets. Also, Obama still faced re-election in 2012.
Now conditions favor Obama.
He decisively won re-election and Republicans seem fearful of being tagged with the blame if an impasse results in the government going over the fiscal cliff. Obama and Democrats already are portraying Republicans as hostage-takers willing let tax rates rise on everyone if the lower Bush-era tax rates are not also extended for the top 2 percent to 3 percent of earners _ those with incomes above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for joint filers.
The new balance of power means that Democrats who once would have acquiesced reluctantly to GOP demands for stiff benefit cuts are now balking at ideas such as chained CPI or an increase in the Medicare retirement age, as well as demanding GOP concessions to higher taxes.
"The price for that kind of thing has gone up," said a senior House Democrat who required anonymity to speak frankly on party strategy. "Negotiations depend on the situation. No one should expect to get the same kind of deal."
Republicans have gotten the message, but insist that higher tax revenues be paired with cuts to rapidly growing programs such as Medicare and the Medicaid health care program for the poor and disabled. These programs are called "entitlements" because eligibility is based on meeting criteria such as age or income.

Natalie Johnson missed her three previous scoring opportunities. The Havelock junior wasn't going to miss her final shot of the night.
Johnson stole the ball, took a couple dribbles, then blasted the ball into the right side of the goal, completing Havelock's furious rally in a contentious and heated Coastal 3A Conference soccer game against D.H. Conley on Monday.
Ali Wickman netted two goals, and Johnson had the final tally in the Rams' 3-2 overtime victory at Havelock High School.
"It felt really good," Johnson said. "I just came back from being really sick. I was getting a little upset with my shots. I didn't expect it to happen like this, but it felt good."
After a scoreless tie at halftime, D.H. Conley scored two goals in a seven-minute span to take a 2-0 advantage. Sarah Byers knocked in a goal just three minutes into the second half. Olivia Sandy added another goal with 30:16 remaining in regulation.
Then Havelock relied on the leg of Wickman. The senior powered a goal into the left side of the net with 17:04 left in the second half. Wickman's equalizer came with 5:45 left in regulation, as she smashed a goal over the out-stretched arms of D.H. Conley's keeper.
Johnson had a chance to win the match in regulation, but her shot sailed over the goal with 35 seconds remaining.
"I was very frustrated and I didn't know if we were going to be able to come back," Johnson said. "Once Ali scored that one goal, we got our rally going and everybody started to step up."
Then came overtime, and a physical extra session at that.
Just four minutes into the first 10-minute segment of overtime, Havelock's Lauren Seegel was ripped to the ground by her ponytail by Conley's Olivia Sandy.
Both Sandy and Seegel received red cards. Three minutes later, a Viking player crashed into Wickman, forcing Havelock's leader out of the match.
But with 30 seconds remaining in the first overtime session, Johnson came through with the eventual game-winning goal.
"It was making me a little mad, and with the red card, I was upset (Sandy) decided to do that on our field," Johnson said. "I felt bad for Lauren because she wasn't expecting that."
The Havelock defense, led by goalkeeper Amanda Alexander, along with Emily Spink, Aliyah Cruz, Janae Mays and Kaitlin Tripp held D.H. Conley without a shot in the second overtime period.
Havelock (6-3-0, 1-1 Coastal) rebounded following a 2-1 loss to White Oak last week.
Alexander had seven saves, and the Rams took 19 shots on goal. D.H. Conley had 13 shots.
"The girls, with the talent they have, should have never been in that situation," Havelock coach Jeff Harris said of being down 2-0. "They came out flat, and then the last 12 minutes of the game, they started playing their soccer.
"I'm proud of them because they have the tenacity to not give up. The two-goal deficit didn't depress them and they kept on working hard."
Havelock is next scheduled to play at Washington tonight before hosting South Central on Thursday.

Your baby is changing and growing in many ways, and is crawling, cruising along the furniture, or maybe even walking by 12 months!
Along with all this activity, babies are also learning to feed themselves.
By the time of their first birthday cake, most babies have almost tripled their birth weight and grown about 10 inches (25 centimeters). However, physical growth slows down during the second half of the first year, and you may notice your baby's appetite slowing down, too.
Your child's doctor will continue to monitor growth during routine visits, usually scheduled at 9 months and 1 year of age.
Parents' concerns about growth often focus on eating habits. Is your skinny baby a picky eater? Do you worry that your baby isn't getting enough to eat? Chances are that everything is fine. Most babies eat enough to satisfy their hunger, which in most cases is enough to supply them with the energy they need.
Your baby's weight, length, and head circumference have been measured since birth and plotted on a growth chart by your doctor. This is where you should start looking if you have questions about how your baby measures up.
When you review the growth chart with the doctor, make sure to compare your baby's growth with his or her own growth pattern, not with the growth of other babies. As long as your baby's growth is steady, there is probably no reason to worry.
If you do notice slowed growth or a drop in weight, consider these questions:
Though growth rate does slow down between 8 and 12 months, your child should continue to follow his or her own growth curve. Talk with your doctor if you have growth-related concerns.
Plump may be the old-fashioned "ideal" of a baby, but a baby who is gaining weight rapidly is a cause for concern. Overweight babies are more likely to be overweight later in life, so consider whether a pattern of overeating and inactivity has begun.
Never withhold feedings from infants, but pay attention to your baby's cues that he or she is full.
As a parent, one of the best things you can do for your baby is to eat well and be physically active yourself. Your baby has a better chance of growing up fit if good health habits are part of the family's way of life. Not only will you be a good role model, but you'll have the energy to really enjoy life with your child (and the stamina to chase after your little one).
If you're concerned that your infant is overweight, ask your doctor for advice.
Isn't it hard to believe that a year has passed? In 12 short months, your baby has grown from a tiny newborn you could cradle in one arm to a toddler on the move. Between 12 and 24 months, your child will only grow about 4 inches (10 centimeters). Though physical growth has slowed, expect big changes in the year to come.

When Britney came to the ASPCA through the Humane Law Enforcement department, she was in pain and suffering from multiple untreated conditions.
Fortunately, the veterinary staff at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital was able to nurse Britney back to health, and eventually she became available for adoption; we could finally find a home for this sweet dog who had suffered so much.
We knew it would be a challenge.
Statistically speaking, animals who are black, large or senior, as well as those who take medication or can't live with other animals, usually spend more time waiting for homes. Britney was all of these things, and to make matters worse, she didn't engage much with adopters who passed her habitat, preferring to rest quietly.
Still, we knew that the right person would come for Britney, and to speed things along, we spread the word about this special canine. After seeing Britney's picture and reading about her, Kevin Bechard tells us, "I wanted to snatch her right up."
A few days later Bechard was going above and beyond to help Britney settle in to her new home in suburban Connecticut.
"The first couple nights I actually slept on the floor with her because she can't do stairs, and she would just reach out with her paw and make sure it was against me," he recalls. "Only then she would allow herself to go to sleep. If I moved away a little bit, her eyes would open."
The love and comfort of a forever home has revived Britney, who has blossomed into a trusting and happy pup: Bechard reports that at his house Britney loves romping outdoors and goes on multiple nature walks a day.
In return, Bechard has gained a new best friend who, he says, never required house-training or manners instruction, thanks to her age. "I wish more people would consider older dogs," Bechard says. "I was open to anything, but I was so pleasantly surprised."
God bless you and your loving heart! It's not easy giving your heart to an older dog knowing you won't have as much time together as with younger dogs. But the love that comes with these animals is so worth it.
We won't adopt anything but senior pets...we usually end up not having enough time with them..but we wouldn't do it any other way.
Yay Britney and Kevin! Wishing you may happy years together. I have a blind 17 year old chihuahua who is the love of my life. We both congratulate you on your life together!
Congratulations, Kevin! You will be given nothing less than unconditional love from Britney! On October 10, it will be 2 years that we've had our Sam, a Tibetan Spaniel. We think he's now about 13, as he was found as a stray in rural western Washington State. He decided that we were his new parents as soon as he met us! Life with Sam has been amazing! He is completed house-trained and has never chewed anything. He has quite a vocabulary. For the first 6 months that we had him, he made not a sound. Now, he loves to talk! Sam is so precious to us. For what we have given him, he has given right back to us ten-fold. Senior pets are fabulous!
You're a true hero Kevin! Britney is one lucky dog. Thanks for showing her such love in her "golden" years! Such a great story--brought tears to my eyes that there are good people out there like you that love animals just as much as I do!! Here's to many happy years together with Britney!!
Congrats and thank you so much for giving this special soul a forever home. This story brings (happy) tears to my eyes.
What an awesome story.
As a dog rescuer myself, I understand the love and trust between these two.
God bless them boyh.
This is a great story! Old dogs are so great and have so much to offer. Good for you Kevin! Enjoy!

Thousands may be ready to sign up for coverage through the new Health Insurance Marketplace, which officially opened October 1. The Marketplace is an online tool that allows consumers to compare health plans and see if they qualify for financial assistance to help pay for their health coverage.
According to Deena Toth with PRIDE, they were asked to delay appointments to enroll for a week because of the system access problems being experienced. PRIDE Community Services, Inc. has In-Person Assisters that can help explain the Marketplace and plan options to consumers. Call PRIDE Community Services, Inc. at 304-752-6868 to schedule an appointment. They will also have help available at their office at 699 Stratton Street from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 5.
David Graham says those interested may visit HealthCare.gov to learn about options available or contact him for dates and locations for Enroll Logan County at firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the Enroll Logan County Facebook page.
According to Robert Stidham, with Enroll Logan County, the W.Va. Department of Health and Human Resources sent out 127,000 letters to individuals who could sign and return the letters to be enrolled. Only 14,000 of the letters have been returned. The letters included a deadline of September 27, but that deadline has been extended. As long as enrollment is completed by December 15, coverage will be effective January 1, 2014.
Enroll Logan County will be available at Logan City Hall on Saturday, October 5, from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Drew Jarvis from Logan was able to enroll in Medicaid. Jarvis, originally from Logan, once had a job with an employer who provided health care at no cost for him and his family. Then he came back to Logan and got a job that doesn't offer healthcare. That didn't matter when he was young and healthy. Now, he's in his mid-fifties, has high blood pressure and high cholesterol and it does matter.
"Now, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, I'll have insurance and maybe I'll live longer and be able to spend more time with my grandkids. Maybe I will be a more productive employee and a more productive person to society," said Jarvis.
To enroll on your own, visit HealthCare.gov.

Establish an Endowment
The creation of an endowment gives alumni and friends the chance to help shape Miami University Athletics now and in the future. The principal of the gift - which can be given either with a one-time gift or gifts made over a period of years - is invested and grows over time. The endowment then provides an annual distribution that is used for the designated purpose. Establishing an endowment is a great way to make a lasting impact on Miami University Athletics.
The minimum financial commitment needed to establish an endowment at Miami University is $25,000. However, current and retired faculty/staff can create named endowments at $10,000. While endowments do exist for a variety of programs and capital projects, they are more frequently used in athletics for scholarships and each year the annual distribution from the endowment is awarded to a current student- athlete.
Contribute to an Established Endowment
While establishing an endowment requires a minimum financial contribution, Miami University Athletics, thanks to the generous support of others, already has a variety of established endowments that donors can add to or invest in at any time that do not require any minimum gift level.
If you are interested in establishing an endowment or contributing to an established endowment, please contact us at (513) 529-8097.

The 12 Newbies - Discuss

Producers have apparently confirmed that Rachel IS NOT in this season. We speculate that means Daniele Reyes will be (she was the next option according to the rumor mill). CBS also states that 4 former HGs will be playing against each other.
So here are BIOs and pics. There are more videos out there but right now I need lunch frankly. If you have a superpass subscription they have videos with all but Joe posted. Get your live feed subscription already and go watch them you KNOW you will be getting it and the special ends in less than a week now!

I was watching one of my favorite shows, 'Through The Wormhole' the other day, where they in this episode looked at whether or not humans have sixth sense. Much of it kinda bothered me. They had a bunch of scientists presenting the theories/hypothesies they worked on along with the collected data. Some of them involved precognition, brains being connected through the earth's magnetic field…I'll have to watch it again to clarify my critique, but has other readers here seen the show? What did you think?
Best regards,
