Deficits and Debt
Report: Analysis of CBO's 2014 Budget and Economic Outlook

Report: Looking Beyond the Ten-Year Budget Window
Report: Our Long-Term Debt Problems Are Very Far From Solved
Op-Ed: Stop the Madness, Start Discussing Long-Term Solutions to Debt Issues
The Hill | October 29, 2013
The recent budget showdown was both completely predictable and totally avoidable, as was the resulting damage to our economy and public confidence in our government. Not only did the shutdown and debt-ceiling standoff slow growth, waste money and inhibit basic governmental functions, but it distracted from the real issue: the long-term debt challenge facing our nation.
It is time for leaders to break the cycle of bouncing from crisis to crisis by taking three common-sense steps: Stop the madness, start talking and solve the problem.
Reopening the government and raising the debt ceiling was a good start in at least putting the madness on hold, and agreeing to establish a conference committee on the budget resolution will help facilitate a start of discussions. Our leaders must now find a way to make these discussions fruitful both in terms of slowing the growth of our debt and ending the practice of operating the world's largest economy on a month-to-month basis.
We suggest deliberations should start by identifying areas of agreement. There seems to be broad-based support for reforming farm subsidies, modifying the federal worker retirement system and charging user fees that better reflect the actual costs of certain government programs. Savings in these areas could be used to soften the blow of the mindless sequestration over the next year or two and allow appropriators to fund defense and non-defense discretionary programs at more reasonable levels.
Trading across-the-board, temporary and anti-growth cuts for more targeted and permanent savings would represent an important step, but negotiators must resist the temptation to declare victory with such a "small ball" approach.
As Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf recently warned, despite some improvements, "the fundamental federal budgetary challenge has hardly been addressed." A budget conference that does not make progress in this area will not have lived up to its potential.
And progress could indeed be made if leaders start talking to each other instead of talking at each other. The two parties have been close to agreement in the past, and there is more potential for common ground than either side realizes.
Both sides have taken encouraging steps toward a principled compromise. The budget President Obama put forward earlier this year incorporated some tough choices and politically difficult compromises, including adopting a chained Consumer Price Index to measure inflation more accurately and achieving significant savings from Medicare. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) recently identified a number of areas of potential agreement in an op-ed, including means-testing Medicare premiums, modernizing Medicare cost-sharing rules and pursuing pro-growth tax reform.
Building from some of these policies and concepts, any responsible plan must have a few key elements. It should slow the rate of growth in federal healthcare spending by enacting structural reforms that improve incentives for all parties. It should eliminate unwarranted subsidies and low-priority spending while reducing fraud and improving the way we index the federal budget to inflation. It should protect and enhance important investments and support for low-income individuals. It should put in place a process that allows House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) to pursue comprehensive tax reform that cuts tax preferences to lower rates, promotes growth and reduces the deficit. Finally, it should find a way to reform Social Security on a separate track to make the program financially sound for future generations.
Savings from these policies should be used both to reduce the mindless cuts from sequestration and help to stabilize and reduce the debt as a share of the economy. A plan large enough to at least stabilize the debt could also be used to justify a permanent indexing of the debt limit, which would put an end to the repeated political brinksmanship by eliminating the need to pass debt-ceiling increases so long as the debt remains on a sustainable path.
Earlier this year, the two of us put forward a plan — built on the progress made in previous bipartisan negotiations — to achieve $2.5 trillion in savings, replacing the sequester with smarter, more gradual deficit reduction that would avoid disrupting a fragile economic recovery while putting the debt on a clear downward path relative to the economy over the next 10 years and beyond. Importantly, the plan would achieve this deficit reduction while respecting the principles and priorities of both parties. It called for significant savings from entitlement reforms, but with important protections for low-income and vulnerable populations. Likewise, it proposed additional revenues for deficit reduction, provided that those revenues be achieved through pro-growth tax reform and not higher marginal income rates.
The proposal we put forward is not our ideal plan, and it is certainly not the only plan. We also recognize that it may not be possible to reach a bipartisan agreement on a plan as aggressive as the one we put forward. But so far, we have done the easy stuff (raising taxes on the wealthy and calling for unspecified cuts in discretionary spending) and we've done the stupid stuff (across-the-board cuts under sequestration). Now it's time to do the tough stuff and the smart stuff: reforming our entitlements and tax code.
Policymakers should seek to reach agreement on a framework that at a minimum stabilizes the debt as a share of GDP. Reaching such an agreement will require Democrats to accept some structural reforms of entitlements, and will require Republicans to use a portion of revenues that will result from simplifying the tax code for deficit reduction, instead of using all savings to reduce tax rates. But such an agreement is achievable.
It is going to take real political courage on both sides to come together to find common ground. The problem is real, the solutions are painful, and there is no easy way out. But there is room for a solution if both parties commit to stop the madness, start talking and solve the problem.
Op-Ed: A Way Out Possible
The Hill | October 9, 2013
We are on a collision course with financial calamity. A first-time-ever failure to extend the federal debt limit would lead to higher interest rates not only for the U.S. government, but also for every business, home, car, student and personal loan in America. The looming debt ceiling — and the ongoing government shutdown — is causing harmful uncertainty around the world and here at home.
But there is a way out.
It's right in front of us. Bipartisan proposals have been advanced to get America back on track. Whether it is Simpson-Bowles, Domenici-Rivlin or even where President Obama and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) left off their negotiations two years ago, there are common elements in all of these plans that could be implemented now to bring this crisis to a close.
Here are the common elements:
- Extend the debt limit for at least one year, preferably two, without condition. That aligns with Obama's position that we not negotiate on the debt limit.
- Do the negotiating within the context of a continuing resolution to fund the government and end the shutdown.
- Agree to the Republican funding level of $988 billion for this fiscal year.
- Agree on a process for individual and corporate tax reform next year. The goal should be to reduce rates and raise additional revenue to go toward deficit reduction. A reasonable goal would be $300 billion to $400 billion in additional revenue over the next 10 years.
- Agree to additional savings in Medicare and other healthcare accounts by better coordinating care, especially of the chronically ill. A reasonable target would be $300 billion to $400 billion over the next 10 years.
- Take the savings from numbers 4 and 5 above and use them to cut in half the effects of the sequester.
- Adopt "chained CPI" as a more accurate measure of inflation that both reduces spending and raises revenue. The combined effect is a savings of about $250 billion over the next 10 years
- Repeal the medical device tax of 2.3 percent, about which no one seems enthusiastic.
- Name a commission to reform Social Security to ensure its long-term solvency. The longer we wait, the more draconian the solutions will have to be.
Of course, neither party would be completely happy with all of these proposals. However, it's not really a "bargain" if neither side has to give up things on its wish list.
We can do this. We can end the shutdown, resolve our debt crisis and put America back on a more sustainable course for the future. Let's do it!
Q&A: Everything You Should Know About the Debt Ceiling
Report: CBO's Long-Term Budget Outlook
Correction: This paper originally stated that the Social Security trust fund is projected to be exhausted in 2033. The combined Social Security and Disability (OASDI) trust funds are actually projected to be exhausted two years earlier, in 2031.
Op-Ed: Reason to Hope for Fiscal Sanity
The Hill | September 17, 2013
For more than a decade, I have dedicated myself to sounding the alarm about our government's fiscal mismanagement and promoting a change in course to preserve the American Dream for future generations. Now I am ending my full-time efforts so others can take the lead, especially younger Americans who have the most at stake.
The task ahead will be challenging, but based on what I've seen and heard, especially in my travels to all 50 states, we have more reason for hope than despair. Here's why:
We the People are in charge.
Today we have a government that is neither representative of nor responsive to the American people. That can change if Americans insist on accountability and punish unduly partisan and ideological politicians in the voting booth.
The truth is, President Obama—like President Bush (43) before him—has failed to use the powers of his office to champion responsible reforms to the American people. And our leaders on Capitol Hill, both Republican and Democrat, have shown an appalling lack of courage in standing up to the extreme wings of their parties. As long as Republicans kowtow to those resisting any increases in revenue—despite a tripling of our national debt in the last decade—and Democrats knuckle under to those refusing to rein in the unsustainable costs of our social insurance systems, we will remain in political gridlock.
More than anyone else, I have gauged the will of my fellow citizens when it comes to fixing our government's financial mismanagement—most recently in a nationwide bus tour through 27 states last fall. Their verdict could not be clearer. In gatherings across the country, with participants of every political stripe, we obtained 92 percent agreement on six key principles to guide a fiscal "grand bargain." The reforms should lead to economic growth, and be socially equitable, culturally acceptable, mathematically accurate, politically feasible, and able to achieve meaningful bipartisan support. When we discussed specific reforms, most conservatives and liberals were willing to put aside ideology as long as proposals were deemed to be fair and part of a comprehensive plan.
That tells us that politicians in Washington can gain the public support they need for bold reforms as long as they explain our urgent need to act and then lay out responsible positions. I am convinced that over time political courage and leadership will be rewarded—and cowardice will be punished.
More policymakers are focused on the issue.
There is a growing roll call of present and former government officials who recognize the need to achieve a fiscal grand bargain. During Comeback America Initiative's (CAI) tour last fall, which engaged Americans on our nation's deteriorating financial condition, we had the explicit support of, among others, two former chairmen of the Federal Reserve, two former chairs of the RNC and DNC, former directors of the Office of Management and Budget, and a who's who of former governors, senators and representatives from both parties.
It is also clear from recent news reports that President Obama and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would like to strike a deal on a grand bargain. An increasing number of members are also acknowledging the reality that the status-quo is unacceptable and unsustainable. Hopefully, we will reach the tipping point where enough politicians in Washington will put the good of the country before the next presidential election.
More organizations have joined the cause.
CAI has been far from alone in its efforts. The Concord Coalition and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget have pushed for fiscal responsibility for a number of years, and now they are joined by newer organizations like Fix the Debt, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, and The Institute for Truth in Accounting. The group No Labels is pushing for a new politics of bipartisan problem-solving, and the Government Transformation Initiative is a coalition of corporations, non-profits and others dedicated to changing the way government does business. There is even a Millennial-led organization, The Can Kicks Back, which is mobilizing young people to fight for their fiscal future. The grassroots efforts of these and other organizations, coupled with the pressures they'll bring to bear in Washington, will augur well for our future.
Clearly the hole we have dug ourselves is deep, and getting deeper, and our political system is badly broken. But I am hopeful about our ultimate prospects for success. We the People have awakened, and Washington is slowly waking up, too. If we act boldly and responsibly, our best days will surely lie ahead.

With this week's blockbuster trade, many are now wondering just how far the Rangers will go with the addition of Rick Nash. While it's still way too early to be penciling us in as front-runners to win the Cup, one thing we can do is look at how the Rangers might change from an x's & o's or "systems" perspective. Fortunately for John Tortorella, adding Nash doesn't necessarily require a complete strategic overhaul the way acquiring Jagr once did. Nash will fit like a glove in our current team template. Why? Because Nash's offense is versatile. He's not a one trick pony. Nash can score off the forecheck, he can score off the rush, he make plays cycling off the half wall, and he can jam the crease with that 6'4 frame of his. Guys like this are tailor-made for John Tortorella's aggressive 2-1-2 forechecking system, which requires skaters to hunt for the puck down low and create offense below the dots. This is not a sit back and clog up the neutral zone type team. Their identity is

One-down Marsh and Karthik, who came in at the fall of Gilchrist, however, revived the innings with a century-plus stand for the third wicket.
Marsh hit three fours in the sixth over bowled by S Sreesanth as KXIP were 49 for two after the first power play. Karthik then smote Vinay Kumar for a six and a four in consecutive balls.
Marsh and Karthik took calculated risk to find the boundaries as KXIP reached 84 for two at the halfway mark. The in-form Australian put the pressure on opposition side with two sixes off compatriot Brad Hodge in the 12th over with one sailing inches above a leaping Sreesanth as KXIP took 19 runs from that over.
As if competing each other, Karthik then reached to his third IPL fifty with a six off Jadeja and then followed it up next ball with another hit for maximum result to take 16 runs from the 13th over and bring down the asking rate to less than seven per over.

Pakistan has said it will clamp down on charities linked to Islamist militants amid fears their involvement in flood relief could exploit anger against the government and undermine the fight against groups like the Taliban. Islamist charities have moved swiftly to fill the vacuum left by a government overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster and struggling to reach millions of people in dire need of shelter, food and drinking water.

Its interesting because even after all these years they remain a bit of an enigma beginning with the reclusive founder and supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Mr. 'Total Conservative'-- Interview with Mike Huckabee
Since Mike Huckabee finished third in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries, the former governor of Arkansas, author and ordained Southern Baptist minister seems to have found a new career in television and radio. "Huckabee," his hour-long show on Fox News Channel on Saturdays, is a mix of politics, entertainment and interviews with newsmakers, politicos and celebrities. I talked to Him by telephone recently, as he headed for a meeting in New York City:

I'm so frustrated, I just cannot seem to keep my OTTB sound.
He just came off 9 weeks stall rest as a result of a well placed kick during play time by another horse.
He was kicked in the shoulder and because the vet suspected a hair line fracture we put him on stall rest. He was pretty lame for the first 2 weeks, but gradually improved. We finished all 8 weeks as a precaution and after that I went on vacation for a week. When he got kicked he just came off stall rest as a result of a misstep during a lesson, he was off, but not completely lame that time.
So, I figured we'd take it slow, turn outs (by himself of course) and when riding only walking for the first 2 weeks. So far in the last week he's been out in the arena 3 times and we walked 20 minutes twice.
Today I saddled him up with the intention of going for another walk, but could get off after 5 steps, lame again.
The shoulder he got kicked in is swollen, not the front (where he got kicked), but the back.
I was in the process of setting up a vet visit for this week anyway to have him get his first Legend shot, so I guess he'll have to look at the shoulder first.
Somewhere I hope this has something to do with the original injury,
Because if it is something new I'm really going to get pissed. This horse has had pretty much everything wrong with him since I got him. He has been sound/not lame for maybe 6 months the last year.
Not all of it his fault, he stepped on something sharp once, my saddle messed up his back and he has arthritis in his knee, which is a leftover from a racing injury. And the kick of course.
He retired at 11 and is 14 now. He won over $230K. When does one give up and decide a horse should be retired and live out his life as a lawn ornament? He is gorgeous and I love him, but I'm running out of ideas.

Departed German rower denies far-right ties
Relevant offers
A German rower who quit the Olympic village last week has denied having far-right views and has said she helped to persuade her boyfriend to change his ways months ago.
German media had reported that Nadja Drygalla was suspected of far right-wing sympathies and that her boyfriend Michael Fischer, who stood in a regional election for the far-right NPD party in 2011, was a leading member of the "Rostock National Socialists".
"My boyfriend hasn't been a member of the NPD since May and has distanced himself from the whole thing," she told the German news agency DPA, also denying that he was a member of the Rostock group. "I thought the whole issue had blown over."
"It was a huge burden on our relationship," Drygalla said in what is believed to be her only interview since leaving London.
"And I made it clear to him in many discussions that I don't share his views and don't back them. We didn't have a very happy relationship when all that was going on."
While membership of the National Democratic Party (NPD) is not illegal, despite attempts to ban it, Germany's intelligence agency describes the party as racist, anti-Semitic and inspired by the Nazis, characteristics that contradict the Olympic Charter.
Drygalla's rowing eight had already been eliminated before the controversy blew up, and she said she herself had volunteered to leave the village.
"It was my decision," she said. "I wanted to prevent any distraction for those who still have to compete. I didn't want the commotion about me to distract others."

NBA-worst Clippers stun NBA-best Spurs 90-85
LOS ANGELES Blake Griffin had 31 points and 13 rebounds, Eric Gordon added 21 points and the Los Angeles Clippers ended an 18-game skid against the Spurs, beating San Antonio 90-85 Wednesday night.
Baron Davis had seven points and 10 assists in his return from a 10-game injury absence for the Clippers, who have the league's worst record at 4-15. They still beat the club with the NBA's best record for the second time in 10 days, following a similarly stunning win over New Orleans late last month.
George Hill scored 17 points and Manu Ginobili added 15 for the Spurs, who lost for just the second time in 16 games and dropped to 15-3 with their first road loss of the season after an 8-0 start away from San Antonio. Tim Duncan had just eight points, one night after posting a triple-double at Golden State.
The Clippers, who have won three of five after a 1-13 start, hadn't beaten the Spurs since March 7, 2006. San Antonio had won nine straight over Los Angeles at Staples Center.
Los Angeles took the lead with a 20-2 run spanning halftime and never lost the advantage despite a shaky fourth quarter that included six straight misses from the free throw line. Gordon scored seven points in the fourth.
San Antonio clearly had little energy in its legs after a three-game road trip, making just six of its 21 shots in the final period. Duncan was held scoreless, and Richard Jefferson getting just three of his 13 points in the final period.
Tony Parker had just two points on 1-for-6 shooting and sat out most of the second half for the Spurs, playing just 2:28 in the third quarter. Several celebrity news outlets reported he had lunch earlier Wednesday with his estranged actress wife, Eva Longoria, who filed for divorce last month.
Davis returned after sitting out all but 10 minutes of the Clippers' November schedule with a sore left knee. The fragile guard had missed 14 of Los Angeles' last 15 games, but he took over in the final minutes for rookie starter Eric Bledsoe, who managed just five points.
The Clippers are off to another awful start, but Griffin isn't their only sign of promise after winning the NBA's Western Conference rookie of the month award for November.
After a month full of fearsome dunks while winning his award, Griffin nearly added another spectacular highlight in the third quarter when he leaped from the middle of the key for a one-handed jam over Tiago Splitter that just barely bounced off the back of the rim. The 6-foot-10 forward made a graceful glide under the hoop for a behind-the-head layup on the Clippers' next possession.
San Antonio led 38-30 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the first half before the Clippers roared away on an 18-2 run led by three 3-pointers by Rasual Butler and two late baskets by Griffin. The Spurs missed 14 of their last 15 shots in the first half, including nine straight while falling behind 48-40.

Jacob Lindgren may not have to wait a couple of seasons to make it to the big league team.
The Mississippi State junior left hander was drafted 55th overall by the New York Yankees during Thursday's First-Year Player Draft.
"I am humbled and grateful to be darted by the New York Yankees," Lindgren said in a school release. "This is an incredible feeling and a day I will remember for the rest of my life. I would like to thank Mississippi State University, my coaches, teammates and the greatest fans in college baseball for helping me reach this point."
The Bay St. Louis native will have until July 18 to make up his mind about going professional or returning to Starkville for his senior season. He will more than likely forgo the latter and start his professional baseball career.
That may be a good thing.
Many national baseball writers believe the southpaw will be with the Yankees in New York before this season is over.

Everymans Library continues to maintain its original commitment to publishing the most significant world literature in editions that reflect a tradition of fine bookmaking. Everymans Library pursues the highest standards, utilizing modern prepress, printing, and binding technologies to produce classically designed books printed on acid-free natural-cream-colored text paper and including Smyth-sewn, signatures, full-cloth cases with two-color case stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.
Eating and drinking and the rituals that go with them are at least as important as loving in most peoples lives, yet for every hundred anthologies of poems about love, hardly one is devoted to the pleasures of the table. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry abundantly fills the gap.
All kinds of foods and beverages are laid out in these pages, along with picnics and banquets, intimate suppers and quiet dinners, noisy parties and public celebrations-in poems by Horace, Catullus, Hafiz, Rumi, Rilke, Moore, Nabokov, Updike, Mandelstam, Stevens, and many others. From Sylvia Plaths ecstatic vision of juice-laden berries in "Blackberrying" to D. H. Lawrences lush celebration of "Figs," from the civilized comfort of Noël Cowards "Something on a Tray" to the salacious provocation of Swifts "Oysters," from Li Po on "Drinking Alone" to Baudelaire on "The Soul of the Wine," and from Emily Dickinsons "Forbidden Fruit" to Elizabeth Bishops "A Miracle for Breakfast," Eat, Drink, and Be Merry serves up a tantalizing and variegated literary feast.

All kinds of foods and beverages are laid out in these pages, along with picnics and banquets, intimate suppers and quiet dinners, noisy parties and public celebrations. Here is Sylvia Plath's ecstatic vision of juice-laden blackberries "big as the ball of my thumb, " and D. H. Lawrence's lush celebration of the secretive fig, with its "covert nakedness" enfolded on itself. Here is Baudelaire's enraptured impersonation of "The Soul of Wine" pouring itself into the "warm chest" of man. There is room as well for Robert Burns's lighthearted "Address to a Haggis" (the "great chieftain o the puddin'-race") and Christina Rossetti's immortal instructions for how to "Mix a pancake, stir a pancake, pop it in a pan." Poems by Horace, Virgil, Li Po, Hafez, Rumi, Dickinson, Moore, Nabokov, Updike, Mandelstam, Herbert, Stevens, and many others join in a literary feast from all ages, all places, and all cuisines.

So here's my situation. I have a dictionary of the following form:
{ <Category('Simulate', 'False', 'False', 'False', 'INTERMEDIATE')>: {'link': u'/story/4/tvb-adapters-simulator-simulatorAdapter/SimulatorAdapter', 'name': u'Simulate'},
<Category('View Results', 'True', 'False', 'True', 'INTERMEDIATE')>: {'link': '/story/step/3', 'name': u'View Results'},
<Category('Analyze', 'True', 'False', 'False', 'FINAL')>: {'link': '/story/step/2', 'name': u'Analyze'}}
Category is a class representing an instance from a database. Now I have the following instance:
<Category('Analyze', 'True', 'False', 'False', 'FINAL')>
Now this is not the same instance. By this I mean, I get all the values from the database and create the dictionary. Then after a while I get an id and retrieve the instance from the database. Now they are not the same objects. I now have to check if it's in the dictionary, but:
instance in disctionary
Will return false. Now I could go the ugly way and iterate over the dictionary checking if all the values match, however does Python have a more clever way to do this? I mean something like the equivalent of Comparable in Java?

There is one giant, glaring issue with these Emmy Nominations that every single man, woman and child in the free world should share. It makes no sense whatsoever that True Detective and Fargo are not in the same category. None. And rather than a weird little quirk, the diverting paths of those two shows are a clear example of a larger problem thats only getting worse.
A poorly delivered ending for a particular television season can retroactively taint everything youve seen before it. Its a damning thing for a TV fan, and my view on FXs Fargo is currently in limbo following its Season 1 finale Mortons Fork, as my lack of enthusiasm is trying to convince me that Ive been enjoying a wildly uneven show this entire time.
Fargo and The Strain are getting the Mondo poster treatment, courtesy of the ATX Television Festival and FX. The new posters have been presented in anticipation of the world premiere episode for The Strain and the ninth episode screening of Fargo at the Austin festival this weekend.
For seven episodes now, FXs Fargo has been a hallmark of quirky comedic drama, with enough pitch black thrills and kills to legitimately rival the Coen brothers film for simpleton storytelling. Tonights episode Who Shaves the Barber? took things to their natural escalatory extremes, and delivered in two ways that I am impulsively considering the series best bits so far
Who's ready for more Fargo? The FX drama kicked off last Tuesday night, delivering solid ratings in the process. Hopefully word will spread and the series will continue to perform well. FX released a preview for the episodes to come, which give us a vague idea of what to expect as the snowy drama continues to unfold in the town of Bemidji and the surrounding area.
While the world may never know what a genuine Coen brothers TV show would look like, Fargo might just be the best danged alternative that could ever exist. Darkly hilarious, deeply disturbing and erratically violent, Fargo isnt a series that is destined to please everyone, but critics and audiences love it.
One of the things we mentioned in our review of FX's Fargo is that Martin Freeman's portrayal of the timid Lester Nygaard is uncomfortable to watch at times. The clip above is a prime example of that, as Lester admits that his wife has soft hands while trying to explain the nature of the relationship she had with the man who beat him up.
Joel and Ethan Coen's 1996 film Fargo set the bar high for a TV adaptation that would come nearly two decades later. Noah Hawley's FX drama takes the right approach from the start in not trying to re-adapt the same story. Instead, FX's Fargo uses a similar snowy Minnesota backdrop to tell its own "true crime" story, paying homage to the Coen Brothers' grim but darkly funny film in the process.
FX has always taken fun and different approaches to promoting their series and that includes Noah Hawley's upcoming Fargo drama. Among the latest videos to make their way online are these two teasers, which are very brief but do a pretty great job of teasing the dark humor we might expect from this series.
The year is 2006, and household appliances that do both the washing and the drying are hitting the market and blowing peoples minds in the process. This is what makes for casual dinner conversation at the home of Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) and his wife Pearl (Kelly Holden Bashar), but it doesnt take long for Pearl to flash her claws with barely cloaked jabs...
Based on what is arguably the Coen brothers most perfect film, FXs upcoming mystery drama Fargo has quite a pair of darkly comedic shoes to fill, dontcha know. But those shoes appear to be walking in the right direction, as the series marketing campaign has done a fantastic job of laying the groundwork and setting the scene, all without actually delving into where the storyline is headed. If you held my head just above a wood chipper and asked me to explain the plot, Id likely shrug my way into tragedy.
FX has revealed another trailer for Noah Hawley's Fargo and, combined with the last glimpse of the series, which focused on the "Story," we might be able to start patching together a bit more of the plot for this drama, which is more inspired by the 1996 Coen Brothers film than it is a direct remake.
Finally! After a handful of excellent teasers that told us very little about the actual plot of Fargo -- beyond dark humor, Minnesota and and murder -- we have a proper trailer for Noah Hawley's FX drama. Guess what, it's about dark humor, Minnesota and murder! Ok, there's more to it than that, including seeing Martin Freeman as Lester Nygaard, possibly breaking his own nose...
Each of the recently released teasers for Noah Hawley's Fargo series seems to offer some nod to the Coen Brothers' film on which this FX drama is loosely based. At face value -- somewhat literally -- I'm not sure the latest teaser does, unless anyone can link the sight o Martin Freeman atop a rumbling washer with some scene from the 1996 film.
When we shared the "Roadside" teaser for Noah Hawley's FX drama Fargo, I recall requesting a wood chipper nod in an upcoming preview. The latest teaser for the drama does just that. Though there's no actual wood chipper, there is a foot, and anyone familiar with that scene from the Coen Brothers' film will get the reference...

Easy Stamped Christmas Card Ideas
By: Dee Gruenig for Posh Impressions
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Here are three ideas for easy stamped Christmas cards from Posh Impressions. You can use one stamp set to create three different Christmas cards. These three cards can each be done quickly and easily.
More designs below!
- Cards are 100% the Santa EZ Mount set
- White double edged cards
- Marvy brush art markers that make it so easy to color directly onto the rubber before pressing the stamp to the paper.
- Sticker paper (choose opaque) can be used to place Santa over the background or stamp Santa first and then make a mask to keep him clean of ink as you stamp the background. Sticker paper is easiest.
Here are three cards Dee made using almost only the Santa set with that one set providing still many more options and variations. Just for fun, Dee took the background for the reindeer and the pinecone from the White Christmas set but there are nearly infinite options from within that one EZ Mount set called Santa.
Though Blending Blox easily provide shading and color variation for increased interest and realism, to make it simple and straight forward she used only Marvy Brush Art Markers including her own signature set. But don't use these colors as you see them, use colors you prefer. The only blending done anywhere was done for the word Peace, the ferns and the reindeer's ribbon. Remember with pens to always apply lighter colors first. Dee stamped trees, reindeer and Santa on sticker paper, cut around them leaving a 1/16th inch white border (important) and put them over the previously stamped backgrounds. What could be easier, yet clean and attractive?

The suspect in innocent until he is found guilty .... so France can shut up it's mouth
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
France's Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Sunday Paris believed Syria was behind attacks on its troops in Lebanon earlier this week.
A roadside bomb wounded five French peacekeepers in southern Lebanon on Friday, in the third attack this year on United Nations forces deployed near the frontier with Israel.
"We have strong reason to believe these attacks came from there (Syria)," Juppe said on RFI radio. "We think it's most probable, but I don't have proof."
When asked if he believed Hezbollah had carried out the attack on behalf of Damascus, Juppe said: "Absolutely. It is Syria's armed wing (in Lebanon)."
Juppe called on the Lebanese government to ensure the safety of peacekeepers in the country and said the review at the UN assess the consequences of the attacks and redefine the objectives of the UNIFIL mission.
The UN Security Council agreed on Friday to France's request for a briefing on Syria's crackdown from the UN human rights chief, overcoming resistance from Russia, China and Brazil, Western envoys said.
Juppe said Syrian President Bashar Assad had lost all legitimacy and Paris was pushing Russia to change its stance at the United Nations where Moscow has refused to endorse any Security Council resolution against Syria.
"We are trying to convince Russia to get out of the isolation that it's put itself in," he said.
Friday's attack on the UN peacekeepers followed two roadside bombings targeting UNFIL forces near the city of Sidon earlier this year. In May six Italian peacekeepers were wounded, prompting Italy to look into reducing its peacekeeping contribution in Lebanon.
Two months later six French soldiers were wounded in another attack.
UNIFIL has about 12,000 troops and naval personnel in Lebanon after its expansion under UN Security Council resolution 1701 that halted the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war in southern Lebanon.

Beware what you hear regarding the coaching vacancies at Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee. Everybody from Jon Gruden to up-and-coming assistants and little-known FCS coaches will be mentioned for those high-profile openings, three of which are among the most coveted jobs in the country. Rumors have been flying for weeks, so lets take a look at each job. Arkansas Whos out: John L. Smith Record: 4-8 (2-6 SEC) Mitigating circumstances: Smith was put in a tough situation, taking over on an interim basis when Bobby Petrino was fired in April. Arkansas was ranked 10th in the APs preseason poll, but never recovered from a loss to Louisiana-Monroe, finished 12th in the SEC in scoring defense and lost four of its final five games. Pros: The university has made a commitment to winning, is financially stable and Petrino showed that sustained success can be had with the right coach. Cons: The state doesnt produce a large amount of talent, meaning the new coach must be able to re...

PACIFIC PALISADES, CA - FEBRUARY 04: Webb Simpson watches his bunker shot on the 12th hole during the first round of the Northern Trust Open at Riveria Country Club on February 4, 2010 in Pacific Palisades, California. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
A peculiar piece of history will be on the line at the British Open. U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson became the 15th player to win the last 15 majors, matching the longest such streak since the Masters began in 1934. There also were 15 consecutive different major champions from 1994 through 1998. There are a couple of similarities between the streaks. The first one started with the 1994 U.S. PGA Championship when Nick Price won his second straight major that year. The latest streak began with the 2008 U.S. PGA Championship when Padraig Harrington won his second straight major. In both cases, the streak reached 15 different winners at The Olympic Club. The first streak ended with Masters champion Mark O'Meara winning his second major of the year at the British Open, so maybe that bodes well for Bubba Watson. More interesting, however, is that Simpson's win made it nine straight first-time major champions. According to research specialist Tom Ierubino, the longest previous streak...
