Arapostathis announces mayoral intention in La Mesa
LA MESA La Mesa native Mark Arapostathis, a City Council member for the past eight years and up for re-election this year, has decided to run for mayor this November, opposing Art Madrid, who has been mayor since 1990.
Arapostathis, 47, made an official announcement of his intent to enter the 2014 mayoral race before a dozen supporters and fellow council members Ruth Sterling, Ernie Ewin and Kristine Alessio on Wednesday in downtown La Mesa. His announcement comes one day after Ewin said he will not be running for re-election this year, leaving two seats on the council open for newcomers.
"I care about this city and the people in it," Arapostathis said. "I want to continue my life of service. I appreciate the support and I'll do the best I can. It's because I care so much."
Madrid, who did not attend the announcement at the La Mesa Depot Museum, said he was not surprised because the councilman known by most as "Dr. A" had "made those intentions known several years ago."
"I welcome the opportunity for the residents of La Mesa to get a different perspective of an announced candidate," Madrid said.
Arapostathis is a Helix High and San Diego State graduate, obtaining his doctorate in education from San Diego State and the University of San Diego. A longtime teacher at Rolando Elementary School, Arapostathis is currently in charge of the theater department for La Mesa Arts Academy. He was the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District teacher of the year in 2000.
He helped form the La Mesa Arts Alliance, of which he is currently director, and also been the director of Peter Pan Junior Theater for more than 20 years. He formed Captain Hook Theater for older thespians in 2006. That same year, Arapostathis was a political novice who ran unopposed for a City Council seat that opened when incumbent Barry Jantz bowed out. He is on the Kroc Center Commission and the Executive Committee for the planned La Mesa Boys and Girls Club in west La Mesa.
"This is an extremely exciting day for La Mesa," Alessio said. "This is a candidate who is ethical and has the concerns of the citizens of La Mesa at heart. He understands the issues. I hope this ushers in a new era for the city of La Mesa."
In the last two elections in which he was on the ballot, Arapostathis garnered the most votes of all La Mesa candidates, and the highest percentage of votes by a large margin.
Arapostathis said he has "been encouraged by community members and leaders to serve in this position," and if successful, he would continue to work on improving public safety and "expand our programs that create safe streets for pedestrians, bicycles and automobiles."
"I want to help the city move into its next century while still maintaining the charm of the small town feel that makes La Mesa special," Arapostathis said. "I care about the city of La Mesa, the citizens. I want to bring greater unity to the council. And, importantly, support the staff who (are) at the heart of the services provided to the community by the city."

In Baguio, temperature nowhere near chilly, but Christmas is cool enough
BAGUIO CITY—Temperature may not yet bring the chill to the summer capital's December mornings, but the mercury dropped to 11 degrees Celsius on Monday, delivering holiday vibe to residents and tourists on Christmas Eve.
Visitors, who drove up over the weekend or who commuted to this city for the yuletide holiday, pranced around the downtown area in discordant attires of shorts and fur-lined sweaters and coats because the noontime heat competed with the cold breeze.
Efren Dalipog, weather forecaster here, said temperature readings since last week had showed temperatures dropping steadily, and the mercury should consistently fall until February, when Baguio is at its coldest.
Records from the weather bureau here showed that the temperature on December 21 was 14.4 degrees Celsius, 13.2 degrees on Dec. 22 and 12.5 degrees on Dec. 23.
Monday's minimum temperature was the coldest recorded for December, although the coldest reading that had been documented so far in 2012 was on Feb. 3, when the mercury dipped to 10.4 degrees.
Salvador Olinares, senior weather specialist, said the tail end of the cold front and northeast monsoon, and cold winds from Siberia and China that blow towards northern Philippines, will bring back the seasonal nippy mornings and foggy afternoons here.
Since Friday, traffic along the major roads leading and exiting Baguio had been jam-packed up to midnight and had eased only on Sunday.
Many Baguio travelers during the Christmas holidays use the city as base for further trips up north to Sagada in Mt. Province or the rice terraces in Ifugao, according to the city tourism office.
One group of tourists planning such a trek through the Cordillera from Baguio complained that they could not reserve any bus seats on Sunday because all the trips bound for the city had been booked.
Roads leading to Baguio's frequented destinations, such as Burnham Park, Mines View Park, Wright Park and Camp John Hay have been crowded with families and vacationers.
From 9 p.m. to midnight daily, tourists have also been crowding the night market on Harrison Road to shop for sweaters, jackets, bonnets and slightly used bargain clothes, shoes, bags and other products.
President Benigno Aquino III and members of his Cabinet are expected to spend the Christmas week in Baguio.

Stream and Share Your Media with PlexWeb
Plex is one of those applications I tend to write about a lot. It's not because I get any sort of kickback or even a discount, but rather it's just an incredible system that keeps getting better. For this piece, I want to talk about PlexWeb, which functions much like the Android app I've mentioned before, but works completely inside a Web browser—almost any Web browser, on any operating system.
You can access PlexWeb by surfing to http://my.plexapp.com and logging in with your free account. (If you have a static IP at home, you also can connect directly to your home server by bookmarking the URL generated by plexapp.com.) You will be redirected to your home server, and you'll be able to transcode and stream your movies to any computer, anywhere.
I freely admit that I wish Plex was open source. Thankfully, however, its proprietary code does't mean Linux users are excluded. Whether you're using the Plex app on your Android device, installing Plex Home Theater on your Linux machine or even streaming video to your Aunt Edna's Web browser while visiting over the holidays, Plex is an incredible tool that keeps getting better. PlexWeb is free, but if you're interested in experiencing the latest and greatest Plex has to offer, a PlexPass subscription will get you access to features like Cloud Sync before anyone else gets to see them! To get started with Plex, visit the Web site at http://www.plexapp.com.

A Japanese porcelain lemon server or tea plate, hand painted with a unique Art Deco motif, atypical of the norm. The gold and black finger hold plate shows Mt. Fuji in the background. Gold bamboo stands proud while large white Water Lillie's float on golden water full of Koi fish. The border is fluted and trimmed with gold enamel moriage, so popular from days gone by. The finger-hold along side is gold gilt.
A perfect serving plate for passing wee pastries, cookies at tea time, or lemon slices, this porcelain piece could be used as a candy dish, for peanuts or bonbons, or a trinket dish in your favorite vanity area.
The back side does show a red hallmark of Mt. Fuji with waterways. The porcelain mark is similar to several of the Fukagawa hallmarks, but did not find this exact mark in my research. Made for export after the 1930's, the mark does read "Made in Japan".
Size: 6" round
Condition: Pristine. No chips or cracks or scratches. Gentle gilt wear indicative of age and use.

Take Action! Support the Women�s Health Office Act by Sending a Letter to Congress
8 years ago
Women's Health Office Act of 2007 Support the Women�s Health Office Act by Sending a Letter to Congress What is the Issue and Why Should I Care? Women�s health research is in jeopardy and your support is needed to ensure its future! Special offices in the federal government dedicated to improving the health of all women are operating on shaky ground. At any moment, their funding could be cut or they could be forced to close their doors. The Society for Women�s Health Research (SWHR) is working with Congress to see that this does not happen and women�s health remains a top priority. A bill called the Women�s Health Office Act (WHOA) was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on February 15. If made law S. 612/ H.R. 1072 would protect the offices and provide them with statutory authorization. SWHR is doing everything in its power to guarantee that women�s health research has a bright future. By joining forces with SWHR in support of WHOA, you too can help see that a positive change is on the horizon for the health of all women! What Can I Do to Make a Difference? You can help convince lawmakers to support the bill and see that it gains momentum in both houses of Congress. Now that the WHOA has been reintroduced, we urge you to contact your Senators and Representative and encourage them to cosponsor and vote for the bill. Now is a great time to get involved and ask your members to take action! You can do this by sending a letter to your Senators and Representative. Go to http://www.womenshealthresearch.org now to take action!

Typically, physician groups that self-report a violation receive more favorable treatment than those groups that wait until a whistleblower or other investigation brings the violation to light. This was seen in a recent settlement involving a Montana hospital that provided improper financial incentives to individual physicians and physician groups. The incentives were discovered by an internal audit conducted by the hospital, which then reported the violation to the government. The hospital and government settled the matter for $3.85 million.
Situations might also arise where the government discovers certain improprieties when investigating other entities or potential legal violations. One example of this would be a recent Ohio case involving a cardiologist and a medical corporation run by the cardiologist. In that case, the government was investigating a hospital for alleged violations of the Stark Law when it discovered that the cardiologist group caused the hospital to submit fraudulent claims to Medicare. The case was settled for $1 million before it could be brought to trial.
Physician groups and hospitals that wait until a whistleblower suit is brought will often receive the harshest penalties and judgments. This was seen in the Tuomey Healthcare case, which involved a hospital entering into a number of contracts with local physicians that provided financial incentives for physicians referring patients to the hospital. One of the outside physicians eventually blew the whistle on the scheme and brought a qui tam suit against the hospital under the False Claims Act. The hospital took the case to trial, where it eventually received a verdict against it for $237 million. Another recent example would be the Health Dimension Rehabilitation case, where a rival company brought a whistleblower action against a national physical therapy company for paying local companies for Medicare referrals. In that case, the physical therapy company settled the matter after the U.S. D.O.J. took over the case for approximately $30 million.

Sibling rivalry rears ugly head before Senate opening
MANILA, Philippines—The sibling rivalry between Senate President Jinggoy Estrada and his half-brother Sen. JV Ejercito continues to rear its ugly head way before the start of the 16th Congress.
On Thursday afternoon, Estrada expected Ejercito to pay him a courtesy call at the Senate but the neophyte senator opted to attend to another engagement.
"I thought he was already proceeding to the Senate together with Sen. Nancy (Binay)," Estrada told reporters, who were expecting a cordial meeting between the two brothers, who are known to be less than affectionate with each other.
Estrada, Ejercito and other senators who are expected to compose the minority in the next Congress, met over lunch at Vice President Jejomar Binay's office at the Coconut Palace at noontime before the supposed meeting between the sons of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada.
"I was expecting him to come over but I received word that there is an equally important thing to do," Estrada said.
Asked if he felt slighted, Estrada said, "That's the way it is. Wala tayong magagawa. OK lang (We can't do anything. It's OK)."
"I just asked him before I boarded my car [from the Coconut Palace meeting] if he was coming over. He said he would follow with Senator Nancy. I thought he was coming over," Estrada said.
"I received word from one of my staff that he had another appointment," he added.
A member of Ejercito's staff said the meeting between the neophyte senator and Estrada was to happen on or before the day of President Aquino's State of the Nation Address on July 22. The source said Ejercito will be prepared to explain what transpired Thursday by then.
Asked if he could still meet his brother on the eve of the start of the 16th Congress next week, Estrada said, "Well… we would already have a toxic schedule next week. We would already be busy because July 22 is already drawing near."
Interestingly, the two brothers may find themselves seated beside each other with the Senate's alphabetical seating arrangement, should they both use their real surname.
Estrada and Ejercito are expected to both be in the Senate minority that will presumptively be led by Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile.
Other senators, who are expected to be part of the Senate minority, include senators Vicente Sotto III, Gregorio Honasan and neophyte Nancy Binay.

One important piece of the projection is turnover margin. The below table shows the turnover margins
enjoyed by both LSU and Texas over the past thirteen seasons:
As you can see, for the past two years LSU has enjoyed a +20 turnover differential compared to Texas. This relative success has been a major
historical aberration, as for the most part their turnover margins have fluctuated substantially but not
typically in any lasting way (also worth noting: Football Outsiders
did an analysis on NFL turnovers, and while that's not directly applicable to college, the same general point about turnovers, especially on defense,
being largely luck do still apply; see also Phil Steele's note about turnover luck tending to indicate turnarounds).
So just from looking at this chart it seems likely that this gap will substantially decline in 2012.
More specifically, it is especially likely that LSU's turnover margin will substantially decline in 2012.
Their +20 turnover margin is a substantial outlier compared to their historical numbers, which suggests substantial
decline is likely. In addition, looking at teams from 2000-2010 who have achieved similarly high turnover margins (based on
this article) suggests
the same conclusion. The below table shows the highest turnover margins from this time period,
as well as the margins achieved the year before and the year after.
Essentially, the only program to sustain extremely high turnover margins over any sort of sustained
time period was USC from 2002-2005. While there have been very occassional other instances of high margins
in one year leading to the same in the next, the overall averages tell the final story. While it is certainly
possible to repeat extreme turnover success, for the most part the expectation is substantial decline.
This means that LSU, like any other program who achieves extreme turnover success in one season,
is highly unlikely to repeat the same success, and highly likely to experience
a turnover decline of more than 12, which translates to around one (or more) per game. That's a HUGE impact
on success, as every turnover in a game is valuable, especially for a team who truly lived on huge defensive
plays like LSU in 2011. If that success goes away (and history suggests that is quite likely), then LSU
will need to succeed in a very different way in 2012 if they are to remain a top team.

ent social and physical environments. This affected not only their life-span trajectories, fertility, health, and disease and survival rates, but also those of their children and grandchildren (see Chapter 5 for additional discussion). Thus information in the genome is inextricably linked with the cellular, physiological, psychological, social, and physical environments in which it functions over a lifetime, and many of these nongenetic factors are passed on to subsequent generations.
One of the limitations of a purely hierarchical perspective to integrating knowledge across levels is that, in reality, the effects of variation at any one level (e.g., gene, gene transcript, protein, metabolite, or tissue) are actually embedded in another level and are not simply "underneath" or "above" the other level. A well-established hierarchy is illustrated by the ways in which DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein, which in turn is appropriately folded and chemically modified in order to perform a specific function in protein complexes. Conversely, an example of the complex, nonhierarchical, and embedded nature of biological information is the fact that some DNA variations affect transcription but are not found in the messenger RNA; other variants are transcribed and affect translation but are not found in the translated protein; and still others are transcribed, translated, and ultimately affect protein function. The following subsections further illustrate this concept and its implications for assessing the impact of associations and interactions among social, behavioral, and genetic factors on health.
The Human Genome Project and many other international efforts have been focused on understanding the nature of the genome and its variations. Millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified (e.g., see dbSNP from the National Center for Biotechnology Information1), and investigators around the world are engaged in performing genetic association studies in order to better understand the influences of these variations on measures of health and disease. It is well known that genetic variations within a gene can alter its expression both quantitatively and qualitatively. For example, mutations within the promoter region of a gene can influence when, where, and how much a particular gene is expressed (i.e., transcribed in messenger RNA). Currently, most gene expression studies ignore individual-level variation in gene expression due to genetic variation. However, over the past few years several landmark stud-

Why were Prometheus and Loki envisioned as chained to rocks? What was the Golden Calf? Why are mirrors believed to carry bad luck? How could anyone think that mortals like Perseus, Beowulf, and St. George actually fought dragons, since dragons don't exist? Strange though they sound, however, these "myths" did not begin as fiction.
This absorbing book shows that myths originally transmitted real information about real events and observations, preserving the information sometimes for millennia within nonliterate societies. Geologists' interpretations of how a volcanic cataclysm long ago created Oregon's Crater Lake, for example, is echoed point for point in the local myth of its origin. The Klamath tribe saw it happen and passed down the story--for nearly 8,000 years.
We, however, have been literate so long that we've forgotten how myths encode reality. Recent studies of how our brains work, applied to a wide range of data from the Pacific Northwest to ancient Egypt to modern stories reported in newspapers, have helped the Barbers deduce the characteristic principles by which such tales both develop and degrade through time. Myth is in fact a quite reasonable way to convey important messages orally over many generations--although reasoning back to the original events is possible only under rather specific conditions.
Our oldest written records date to 5,200 years ago, but we have been speaking and mythmaking for perhaps 100,000. This groundbreaking book points the way to restoring some of that lost history and teaching us about human storytelling.

Some people wander though life with little direction, drifting from one thing to another with no real sense of purpose. The years pass as one unremarkable day bleeds into the next as the chapters of their lives could bear the sad remark of "if only I had done,,,,,,,", you fill in the blank.
Others embrace everything they do with a sense of urgency, lending purpose and vitality to all that they touch. So it is with our co-Models of the Month, Doug and Stephanie Miller, two athletes who truly know what it means to "Give Back".
Doug and Stephanie are no strangers to fitness, both carrying impressive athletic resumes which boast of numerous accomplishments. Stephanie's confident smile coupled with Doug's Herculean features tells of a duo that doesn't take fitness lightly. With Pro Cards to back them up, both Doug and Stephanie are feared contenders whenever they take the stage.
With more determination than could be contained in his 5' 9" frame, Doug excelled not only in sports, but also in academics claiming the title of Valedictorian as he graduated from Penn State University's Scheyer Honors Program with degrees in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Economics. Although Doug was "extremely focused on academics", he felt that something was missing in his life. It was at this time that a friend introduced him to the weight room where he became "instantly hooked". A bodybuilder at Doug's gym took notice of him and encouraged him to consider competing. A true competitor at heart, Doug claimed the Overall Novice title in his first competition only one year after graduating from college. From there, the academic and the athlete combined as Doug learned from and built upon the experience, and went on to win a Pro Card at his second competition just fourteen months latter.
Stephanie followed a similar path, with scholarships to play both softball and basketball at The University of Virginia's College at Wise. As Captain of the softball team, Stephanie set many records as well as winning all conference and was an all region player as pitcher as well. Completing her academic career with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Stephanie also felt the tug of her athletic side urging her to explore new areas of endurance. Already an avid weight lifter, Stephanie was inspired by her brother as he entered his first bodybuilding competition in March of 2003. Fresh with confidence after the event, he simply said "When are you going to do one Steph?"
That gentle nudge was all it took for the ever competitive Stephanie to take the plunge as she entered the same show as her brother the following August. And what an introduction to the sport it was as Stephanie walked away with the Open, Novice and Overall Figure titles, and a Pro Card to punctuate the occasion. Riding this burst of momentum, Stephanie competed in her first Pro show only 2 weeks latter claiming the title in the IFPA American States where she competed with her husband Doug.
At this point, one might assume that Doug and Stephanie Miller have accomplished all that they have set out to do, and while this in part holds a degree of truth, both Doug and Stephanie have aspirations which cannot be achieved in the gym or encapsulated in a trophy. In fact, Doug and Stephanie would probably be the first to confess that some of life's greatest accomplishments are not contained in what you can hold in your hand, but in what you give away. Though the fires of physical endurance are illuminated on the stage, the purest form of character is measured in what we sacrifice for others. To this end, Doug and Stephanie have sponsored a child through Compassion International, an International Relief Agency that supports children in poverty stricken areas of the world. Today, Compassion helps more that 1 million children in over 24 countries. Additionally, the Miller's donate several hours each week assisting people with their own fitness program and helping them to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle.
Because of their commitment to Drug Free Physical Excellence and unbending dedication to others, Lift for Life is honored to name Doug and Stephanie Miller as co-Models of the Month.

Both Democrats and Republicans from the Lone Star state were quick to issue statements following President Barack Obama's State of the Union address that set up high-stakes clashes with Republicans over guns, immigration, taxes and climate change.
Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a Republican, said the president needs only to look toward Texas for an example of how to grow the rest of the country.
President Obama is proposing an answer to America's economic crisis. Well, I can answer that in one word, five letters: Texas. If only he'd listen, Dewhurst said in a press release.
Patting himself on the back, Dewhurst stated Texas's gross domestic product will from by 3.4 percent compared to 1.7 percent for the rest of America.
And we ve created more jobs than any other state in the nation by leaps and bounds. To put that into perspective, for the last three years we ve created more jobs than all other 49 states combined, according to the release.
U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, whose district also stretches into San Antonio, said deficit reduction is definitely a good start but isn't enough by itself.
From pre-K to post-grad, we must maintain our commitment to encouraging individual opportunity and strengthening the competitiveness of our workforce, Doggett said in a press release. Reforming immigration now for tax-paying, law-abiding immigrants will strengthen our economy. Making the DREAM Act a reality for promising young immigrants is only one part of what we need to accomplish.
First-term Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican, criticized Obama for embracing unabashed liberalism instead of working alongside republicans to propose policies that would produce economic growth.
According to a press release:
Under President Obama, the economy is entering its fifth year of substandard annual growth 0.8 percent on average -- compared to an average of 3.3 percent for the last 70 years.
If the President's big-government policies were enacted, they would make it harder for the 23 million people out of work to find a job, harder for young people coming out of school to find their first job, and harder for Hispanics and African Americans struggling to achieve the American dream.
U.S. Rep Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, applauded the president's speech and echoed his call to reduce the national deficit and to avoid cuts to education, health and social services.
He also weighed in on immigration reform.
The moment to act on immigration reform is now, Cuellar said in a press release. It is necessary that members from both parties reach an agreement on how best to welcome immigrants to our country. This will not only enhance our immigration system, but it will also make our borders more secure, while at the same time improving trade and commerce.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama set up high-stakes clashes with Republicans over guns, immigration, taxes and climate change in a State of the Union address that showcased his determination to mark his legacy. Rep. Paul Ryan said Obama could better achieve his goals if he would get out of campaign mode.
At the center of looming confrontations in Washington is a fight over the very role of government, with Obama pushing a raft of new initiatives to improve preschool programs and voting, boost manufacturing and research and development, raise the minimum wage and lower energy use. It is our unfinished task to make sure that this government works on behalf of the many and not just the few, he said.
Republicans who control the House and hold enough votes to stall legislation in the Senate were just as quick to declare that the government helps best by getting out of the way.
Ryan, the GOP's vice presidential candidate last fall, said Wednesday morning that Obama's leadership style stands in the way of bipartisan efforts to resolve problems like the ballooning deficit. He seems to always be in campaign mode, where he treats people in the other party as enemies rather than partners, the Wisconsin Republican said in an interview on CBS This Morning.
Ryan was asked if he supported House Speaker John Boehner's remark Tuesday that he didn't believe Obama has the guts to stand up to liberals in his own party on spending cuts.
That's why the congressman makes remarks like that, Ryan said of Boehner.
Ryan's comments came just hours before Obama was to set off on a three-state trip, starting in North Carolina, to sell to voters the programs he outlined in his address. Obama hit the road frequently in campaign-style trips in December to appeal directly to voters for the approach that he favored, including new taxes, to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
Republican critics have said the president should stay home and focus his attention on dealing directly with Congress on these issues.
In the formal Republican response to Obama's address, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said, More government isn't going to help you get ahead. It's going to hold you back. More government isn't going to create more opportunities. It's going to limit them.
And more government isn't going to inspire new ideas, new businesses and new private sector jobs. It's going to create uncertainty, said Rubio, a rising star in the party.
Uncompromising and aggressive, Obama pressed his agenda on social issues and economic ones, declaring himself determined to intervene to right income inequality and boost the middle class. He called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants, far-reaching gun control measures and a climate bill to cut greenhouse gas emissions. He threatened to go around Congress with executive actions on climate change if it fails to act.
But Obama cannot count on willing partners on those issues, any one of which could tie Congress in knots for months with no guarantee of success. Gun control, which Obama made a focus of his speech, faces dim prospects on Capitol Hill. The prospect for immigration legislation is better, but no sure thing. Climate change legislation is given no chance of success.
And Obama addressed relatively briefly the looming fiscal crises confronting the nation and inevitably sucking up oxygen on Capitol Hill -- the deep automatic spending cuts or sequester to take effect March 1, followed by the government running out of money to fund federal agencies March 27. He made clear he will continue to press for the rich to pay more in taxes, a position Republicans have rejected.
Republicans, meanwhile, made clear they're in little mood to cooperate.
We are only weeks away from the devastating consequences of the president's sequester, and he failed to offer the cuts needed to replace it, Boehner said in a statement. In the last election, voters chose divided government which offers a mandate only to work together to find common ground. The president, instead, appears to have chosen a go-it-alone approach to pursue his liberal agenda.
Earlier Tuesday, in a meeting with television correspondents and anchors, Boehner, R-Ohio, said immigration is about the only item on Obama's list that has a chance of passing this year. He said the president is more interested in getting a Democratic majority in both chambers next year.
Obama did reiterate his willingness to tackle entitlement changes, particularly on Medicare, though he has ruled out increasing the eligibility age for the popular benefit program for seniors.
Those of us who care deeply about programs like Medicare must embrace the need for modest reforms -- otherwise, our retirement programs will crowd out the investments we need for our children and jeopardize the promise of a secure retirement for future generations, he said.
But we can't ask senior citizens and working families to shoulder the entire burden of deficit reduction while asking nothing more from the wealthiest and most powerful.
On immigration, a bipartisan group of negotiators in the Senate is working to craft legislation embracing Obama's call for a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants but making such a path contingent on first securing the border, a linkage Obama has not supported.
But there's no guarantee the Senate bipartisan plan will find favor with the full Senate or the House. The first test may come Wednesday morning when the Senate Judiciary Committee opens its hearings on a comprehensive immigration overhaul. Deep fault lines emerged even before the hearing began, with a leading committee Republican, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, calling Obama's remarks on immigration deeply troubling.
The biggest obstacle we face to reform is this nation's failure to establish lawfulness in the system, Sessions said. The president's immigration plan meets the desire of businesses for low-wage foreign workers while doing nothing to protect struggling American workers.
The president implored lawmakers to break through partisan logjams, asserting that the greatest nation on earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next.
Americans don't expect government to solve every problem, he said. They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can.

Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones announced yesterday that Sutter Health, which operates over 20 hospitals in northern California, agreed to pay $46 million and change its billing and disclosure of anesthesia charges and services to its patients, insurers and other payers. These changes require Sutter to: (1) stop billing for anesthesia in the operating room on a chronometric basis and instead charge on a fully disclosed flat-fee basis; (2) describe every component of its anesthesia billing; (3) post on its website and provide to insurers and the commissioner the cost to each Sutter hospital of its anesthesia services, updated annually; and (4) clarify the relationship between its master schedule of charges (known as chargemasters in the health care industry) and the bills that consumers and insurers receive.
The settlement resolves a qui tam lawsuit brought by a billing auditor alleging that Sutter's billing practices violated California's Insurance Fraud's Prevention Act (IFPA), California Insurance Code section 1871 et seq., which prohibits the preparation and/or submission of false claims for payment to insurers. Specifically, the relator alleged that Sutter included false and misleading charges in its surgery bills. The relator also alleged IFPA violations against MultiPlan, Inc. and Private Healthcare Systems, Inc. ("PHCS"), whose provider contracts with Sutter allegedly unduly restricted payers' ability to challenge Sutter's charges. The commissioner intervened in the lawsuit in April 2011.

FAA furloughs overshadowed by debt ceiling
Wednesday - 7/27/2011, 11:46am EDT
By Jory Heckman
Federal News Radio
Political grandstanding over the debt ceiling talks has marginalized mass furloughs in the Federal Aviation Administration for Congress and the public.
As of midnight Friday, more than 4,000 engineers, planners, administrators, and aviation technical systems specialists were temporarily unemployed as the result of Congress' failure to renew the FAA's operating authority.
"It's a very strange period in our history right now," said Mike MacDonald, regional vice president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, in an interview with Federal News Radio. "We all see ourselves as pawns in a game that's being played by people that just don't understand the impacts. It's a scary time. Everybody's scared. Through no fault of our own, we're sitting at home, trying to figure out what to do next."
MacDonald said the FAA furloughs have had a ripple effect in other industries, like construction.
"There are literally hundreds of projects that have been stopped, and the people that have been working those, those people are also being sent home. And that's going to be kind of a lagging effect - people aren't going to really notice that right away. They see the 4,000 FAA [employees] that are furloughed, but there is an effect that's in every community where projects have been stopped," he said. "I don't think that they've really quantified the number of people that have actually been sent home."
Adding to MacDonald's frustration is the fact that the furloughs and consequential shutdown of the FAA haven't affected public behavior.
"People are still going to the airport, they're getting on their airplanes, they're flying, and they don't notice that this is taking place in the background," he said. "There's no pain for the flying public, so to speak, which scares us even more because this could go on for who knows how long, as long as there's no hue and cry with the members of Congress."
As far as pay and benefits are concerned, MacDonald said the FAA has been mum on what employees can expect to receive when they return to work.
"My understanding is that our health benefits will continue to be paid," he said. "The agency will continue to make their contribution. They will also advance for the employees' share for up to a year."
MacDonald said the FAA has been regularly updating their website with notifications for the furloughed employees. "But otherwise, my members are telling me that the only information they're getting is the stuff I'm forwarding to them," he said. "There's not a whole lot of talk about this, because it's just overcome by the whole debt ceiling crisis."

continued The entire F-M front five advanced to next May's state qualifying tournament at Colgate University's Seven Oaks course, as did two other Hornets - Andrew Massa, who shot an 81, and Sean Brown, who managed an 82.
Moving to the small-school sectional tournament, CBA was bent on stopping Chittenango, not just for what happened in the 2012 finals at Foxfire, but also for a Sept. 24 regular-season defeat to the Bears that ended the Brothers' 63-match league win streak.
Drew Derrenbacker led the Brothers as he shot a 78, with Jack Bellardini close behind, posting a 79. Steve Fournier and Webb Little both finished with rounds of 85 as Sam Little, with an 87, closed out the scoring column and William Ierlan posted an 89.
That proved enough to beat Chittenango, who was led by Mike McIntosh's round of 81. Kyler Christopher shot an 84 for the Bears, with Erik Russell and Conor Delaney each posting an 85 and Ryan Delaney managing an 89.
F-M came into the tournament with some momentum after going to Highland Golf Course last Monday and putting together a 188-192 victory over Auburn.
Lee shot a 35, edging out the Maroons' Jon Brown for individual honors. Gilroy posted a 37 to match Auburn's Mike May, but F-M's depth would win out as Thomas put up a 38, with Nick Santoro and Jimmy Barnes each finishing at 39.
CBA warmed up with a 216-239 victory over Phoenix last Monday at Beaver Meadows. Again, Bellardini, shooting a 37, and Derrenbacker, shooting a 38, led the way as Ierlan had a 45 and Sam Little added a 47. Steve Fournier managed a 49.

Twitter support from Kobe goes for naught
Duncan broke the drought, hitting a pair of jumpers over Gasol that gave San Antonio a 4-2 lead with 9:33 remaining and the Spurs led the rest of the way.
"It was a very physical game," Duncan said. "It was a good start to our playoff run. We shook off a lot of cobwebs we've had over the past 10 games or so. It was great to have everybody back out there together. It was a good start overall."
The Lakers shot 35 percent from the field in the first half, primarily missing shots from 11 feet and out. Los Angeles had 10 points in the paint, but could not consistently work the ball inside for attempts.
"There's no reason other than you're playing San Antonio," D'Antoni said. "That's a good team."
Los Angeles pulled to 28-24 with 7 minutes left as Howard had four points in an 8-0 run, including an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Gasol to cap the run. It was the closest Los Angeles would come.

"Box and Luceno have written an interesting and important book. The primary message is that statistical process control (SPC) and engineering process control (EPC) should be used together. ...it is the first book that provides an in-depth treatment of EPC in addition to containing material on SPC."

Altus Police arrested a man early Sunday morning, Aug. 24, at around 2:30 a.m. after he pointed a shotgun at a cab driver and two occupants in the cab.
All three told police that the suspect, Jeffery Taft, 52, of Peacock Circle in Altus, argued with another subject in the cab after arriving on the street.
According to Police Chief Tim Murphy, the suspect exited the cab and removed a shotgun from his personal vehicle, which was parked in the driveway. "The suspect pointed the shotgun in the direction of the cab, which was occupied by the cab driver and the other two occupants," said Murphy. "Upon making contact with Taft outside of his residence, officers described the suspect as very unsteady on his feet with a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath and slurred speech."
Recovered from the suspect's residence was a 20 gauge shotgun that police believe was the weapon used. Taft was arrested and transported to the Jackson County Jail on charges of possession of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol and felonious pointing of a firearm.

Even as Mumbai gears up for the Lok Sabha elections, the principal of one of city's premier institute St Xavier's College has raised a furore over a letter addressed to his students. The college, known for its history of liberal stance, put out an email to over 1000 students openly criticising the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, as the Gujarat's development model.
Some professors and activists have described the message as "politically motivated", particularly since it was issued just two days before polling day in the city.
However, many staff members remained loyal to the head of the college. "I am proud of Father Frazer's brave stand against the communal and divisive forces that are threatening the future of India. He makes many valid points especially about Gujarat's less than admirable human development performance in the last decade," said Kabira Namit, development economist and former visiting faculty at the college. "But ultimately, it is the moral argument that Gandhi's India should listen to- barely half a decade after winning independence and laying the foundation of independent secular India, are we ready to hand the reins to a fascist leader?" questions Namit, who is also an alumni of the institute.
The letter has received a strong contradictory response across social media platforms, with people condeming his actions as unethical and biased, while others upholding his freedoms of speech and expressions.

Read the full text of Fr Frazer Mascarenhas's letter to students to judge for yourself and tell whether you think it was unethical:
The approaching elections have brought an interesting discussion to the public forum on what constitutes human development and how it is to be achieved. The Gujarat model has been highlighted for our consideration. That is very apt because it puts in stark contrast two current views. Is the growth of big business, the making of huge profits, the achievement of high production - what we seek? Or is it the quality of life for the majority in terms of affordable basic goods and services and the freedom to take forward the cultural aspirations of our plural social groups that make up India?
Gujarat may be doing well in the first sense, although not as good as some other States in the country. But all the Human Development Index indicators and the cultural polarization of the population show that Gujarat has had a terrible experience in the last 10 years. Take the example of education: schools for the ordinary populace show abject neglect with a very high dropout rate in the last 10 years. Higher Education has not been allowed to move forward. To take just an example, St. Xavier's College Ahmedabad, thrice NAAC accredited with an equivalent of the A grade, has not been able to gain permission from the Gujarat Government for Academic Autonomy, for the last 10 years and has finally won a battle in the High Court to approach the UGC directly for this status. Gujarat has also been the worst performer in settling claims and distributing title deeds to tribal people and other forest dwellers, as shown by the latest data put out by the Union Tribal Affairs Ministry. Till 2013, the State, with 15% tribal population, settled only 32 per cent of the claims, the lowest rate in the country.
As opposed to this, efforts like the Rojgar Yojana and the Food Security Act have been called "election sops". However some of our best social scientists like Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze have supported these as necessary in the emergency economic situation the country and the world is facing. The country is grateful that committed activists like Aruna Roy and Shailesh Gandhi have worked with the Government to initiate and sustain the Right to Information Act which makes accountability possible. Corruption still needs to be addressed effectively but since it is so prevalent at every level of society, it will take civil society long agonizing efforts to root it out.
A massive investment in health and education is sorely needed in our country of widening disparities and those who support big business and its unethical profits will never agree to such public expenditure for the masses. In fact, the worsening situation of environmental degradation and depletion, in the lunge for growth and profit, shows up the real intentions of the greedy. None can withstand this, as seen by the many clearances given in a week's time after the recent change of guard at the Central Environment Ministry, which had earlier tried to hold the line under a different Minister.
So what lessons does a reflection on the approaching elections teach us? The prospect of an alliance of corporate capital and communal forces coming to power constitutes a real threat to the future of our secular democracy. Support for people who pledge to work to take Human Development Indicators higher and who commit themselves to a pluralistic culture in diverse India - this is the hope for the future. No magic wand or divine miracles will come to the aid of the Indian people. Their reasoned choice of individuals and political parties who promise to work for a real quality of life for all, will see India prosper or flounder on the precipice. Choose well!

Oak Ridge man hit with assault, evading charges
OAK RIDGE — A man accused of trying to strangle a woman, lacerating her neck in the process, and then assaulting her son when he came to help his mother remained in the Anderson County jail Friday.
Vincent Edward Turner, 43, is accused in the Thursday night episode in Oak Ridge of aggravated assault and domestic assault.
An evading arrest accusation was added when while driving away from the Highland Avenue scene Turner refused to stop for an Oak Ridge police officer, authorities said.
Turner had gotten into an argument with the woman at their residence when he grabbed her by the neck, which officer Trae Sweeten in his affidavit said was an act intended "to cause bodily injury by strangulation."
Both the woman and her son sustained minor injuries in the incident, according to arrest warrants.
