Lady Gaga, Josh Hutcherson To Host 'SNL' In November
Rumors had been floating around all summer that it would happen, and now it's official: Lady Gaga will serve as host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" Nov. 16.
Rumors had been floating around all summer that it would happen, and now it's official: Lady Gaga will serve as host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" Nov. 16.
The final trailer for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' debuted tonight during the fourth game of the MLB World Series, and it's pretty awesome. In the upcoming sequel, as Donald Sutherland's President Snow teases in voice over, Katniss will go from playing mere games to full-out war when she and Peeta are targeted to compete in a new and deadly tournament.
It's been mentioned that 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' would focus more on the love triangle between Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), and the first TV spot plays that up by adding a Coldplay song to the background.
Are you ready to see Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson's Peeta Mellark dive back into The Hunger Games? In anticipation of Comic-Con 2013's coming 'Catching Fire' panel, which will feature the brand-new trailer for the 'Hunger Games' sequel, a batch of new posters has hit, debuting the new tributes.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' gave us a slew of "Capitol Couture"-inspired movie posters to hold us over until the November premiere, but how would you like to see the first footage from the film? The MTV Movie Awards will air the first full trailer April 14, but the teaser for that trailer has just hit.
Though he was up against some stiff competition – including Ryan Gosling and Daniel Radcliffe – 'Hunger Games' star Josh Hutcherson won Best Male Performance at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.
For all you young tweenie boppers out there who just can't seem to get why we are obsessed with more mature gents like Chris Hemsworth and Jon Hamm, this one's for you…

Nice, BUT Too Big for Me
Mary from Pittsburgh, PA – Verified Buyer
I had such high hopes but this chair has some design issues. I'm about 5'4" tall, which is not that short, and when I sit back in the chair with it on the lowest setting only my toes touch the floor. I've never had a chair that does not adequately adjust lower and thought something was wrong but it's just made that way. It would have been helpful if the dimensions listed on the website showed the height from the floor to the top of the seat, not from the floor to the top of the chair. Also, the seat is deep and the back of the chair does not adjust forward. When I sit up straight with my back against the back of the chair, the plastic edge under the front seat cushion cuts into the back of my knees. You can see the plastic edge in the picture but I didn't think that it would be bothersome. Wayfair said they would take this back but it fits my husband who is a little taller than I so we are keeping it for him. He finds it to be very comfortable.
Cost effective and comfortable!
Laramie from Oklahoma City, OK – Verified Buyer
I purchased these chairs for my office and am very impressed. The chairs were exactly as described, easy to assemble and very comfortable. The adjustable lumbar support makes these chairs customizable for everyone's individual needs as well. And to top it off, the delivery was far sooner than anticipated!
Two chairs for one.
W.J. from Shalimar, FL – Verified Buyer
Ordered 2. They are very nice chairs; quick-free delivery, easy to assemble, and very smart looking in the study. The only draw back is it too high for my wife. Her feet do not touch the floor and the arms are too high for her. It would be a relatively simple fix, but it is not available. It would not be too difficult to make a shorter Pneumatic Cylinder by at least 3" and extend the lower receptacle with a deeper well. Good chair just needs some better econometric engineering. Looks like I'm out $250. My next chair for her will come from a store that I can sit her in it before I buy it. The chair seems to be targeted more for people that are 5'-7" or taller. My wife is 5'-2."
Great Chair!
Tim from Winchester, MA – Verified Buyer
I have a Herman Miller office chair at work and was looking for something similar for my home office. I couldn't afford a Herman Miller, but this chair is extremely similar, for a more affordable price. I can sit in this chair for long periods of time, without being uncomfortable.
Chris from Carrollton, TX – Verified Buyer
This chair is sturdy, comfortable, and expensive looking...absolutely surpasses all advertised claims. We use this chair in our home office where it gets a work-out by my 200-lb sons. Especially like the adjustable arm rests which go up and down for comfort. Would buy again, and highly recommend.
Roderick from FORT WORTH, TX – Verified Buyer
Great product. Very easy to assemble. We will get more products. Thank you
Great chair!

The list of online business ideas with low investment that will likely generate high earnings potential is short, but worth considering. Most businesses require a certain amount of capital investment just to get off the ground, especially if it involves paying employees. But if you focus on businesses where you are the only employee, the business will hinge more on your capabilities than on investment. With the bare minimum investment of a business license, computer, internet connection and software, the choices narrow down quickly to businesses that promote other businesses, web or graphic design, writing, programming, buying and selling products or investments and other tech services.
Business Ideas with Low Investment; Digital Products
Selling software, video games, apps, ebooks, articles, blogs, songs, pictures and other digital products has been a profitable business idea for independent entrepreneurs who know how to create these items. The cost of crafting the product is more related to time than money. If you create niche products you can sell them on your own sites. The main cost is either investing in marketing or spending time developing clients through social networking, email and seo. The best way to market digital products on a zero marketing budget is to get to know hundreds of bloggers who promote the products for you.
Business Ideas with Low Investment; Affiliate Marketing
Note: If you're looking for a legitimate way to earn income online and want to learn how to build a successful internet business, then I STRONGLY recommend you click here to discover all the secrets for successful online business
One of the most profitable business ideas with low investment is developing a website or email newsletter filled with links to affiliate marketers. While it takes time to develop revenue streams from websites that run affiliate advertising, making money from ads in newsletters is also possible if you develop a niche following and focus on the niche content they are looking for combined with appropriate affiliate marketing campaigns. There are many companies that supply a wide range of affiliate marketers. Depending on each advertiser's deal, you can either make a percentage on sales or flat rates that pay up to hundreds of dollars per sale.
Business Ideas with Low Investment; Residual Income
There are several ways to generate residual income online, either through pay per click programs or selling products that keep on selling through multi-level marketing. Google AdSense is one of the easiest business ideas to implement. If you keep creating new articles with useful content that feeds a demand, all you need is to develop thousands of followers and keep writing new articles that include ads served by Google. Of course the same strategy works with affiliate marketing. You can make substantial income if your site is built on themes that connect with high paying keywords and the site generates high traffic. There are many keyword tools that can help you decide the value of keywords.
Business Ideas with Low Investment; Reselling
Some people have figured out how to buy and sell items on eBay without ever possessing merchandise. You can create business with an online wholesaler, who supplies a wide range of products. You make a sale on eBay then notify the wholesaler who ships the product. This process is known as drop shipping. You pay the wholesaler with the money you made from the eBay customer. Ownta is a wholesaler for resellers while Inventory Source connects resellers with a network of wholesalers. As long as you provide your own customer service and marketing, drop shipping can be one of the most lucrative online business ideas with low investment.
These are just a few business ideas with low investment on the internet. Most of us already have all the equipment needed to start up these types of businesses. All you really need is the right information, coaching and incentive to get you started. It may take a considerable amount of time to get one of these ideas off the ground but their earning potential is unlimited.

Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 6:22 PM GMT on August 25, 2006
Max Mayfield announced today that he is stepping down as head of the National Hurricane Center at the end of the year, acccording to press reports from the Miami Herald and Florida Sun Sentinel. Mayfield, 57, admitted that the last two hurricane seasons wore him out. Ed Rappaport, the center's deputy director and a veteran forecaster may be next in line for the job, after Max steps down on January 3. Max's expert guidance of NHC has no doubt saved many lives, and I will miss his calm and intelligent presence at the helm of NHC.
Max Mayfield at the 2006 American Meteorological Society meeting, extolling what he wants engraved on his tombstone: "Don't look at the center track forecast line! Look at the cone of possible center locations."
I'll have an update on TD 5 between 4pm and 5pm EDT.

Adriaens named city's chief of staff
Date posted: July 18, 2014
SHERIDAN — City Human Resources Director Heather Doke has confirmed that Police Chief Rich Adriaens has been appointed by Mayor John Heath as interim chief of staff for the city.
As such, Adriaens will act as chief operating officer to facilitate day-to-day operations of staff.
According to a memo sent by Heath to city employees earlier this week, Adriaens has filled this role part time for the last couple years. Adriaens was key in implementing a five-year budget plan and the city's first two-year budget, Heath said in the memo, as well as providing leadership and oversight when ambulance service was contracted out to Rocky Mountain Ambulance a couple years ago.
Heath said one of Adriaen's key roles will be to implement strategic and budgetary plans for the city. Heath will continue to focus on community outreach and promotion of the city and city events. He will also act as a liaison to local, state agencies and organizations to ensure strong partnerships.
"In Sheridan's past, several mayors have used a chief of staff to facilitate the day-to-day operations of staff," Heath said. "Mayor Della Herbst had Ram Holly, and Mayor Jim Wilson used Jackie Flowers in the role. I intend to operate as the CEO of the city and I expect Chief Adriaens to operate as the chief operating officer."

It is rich and appealing with heavy pineapple fruit, toasty oak and a creamy butter texture. It is an elegant, round and mouthfilling wine balanced by crisp acidity for a long and memorable finish.

How Long to Pursue Her
Alright, ladies, I could use your thoughts and suggestions on a situation with a girl I've been on a couple dates with. First, I'll preface all... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Aww you sound so sweet. I really like the way you're approaching this, just by the way lol.
She might be confused actually that you didn't kiss her, because sometimes if a girl hasn't dated much, she'll have expectations that she got from a movie or something and that just seems like what should have happened.. if you hang out with her next time, pay careful attention to how she looks at you.. I'm not quite sure how else to describe it other than expectant, and it might be even harder to catch if she really hasn't had much experience.
This might also just be a fluke, sometimes I call someone and my call just doenst go through to them. I've sat in a room before with someone, and called them, and watched my phone ring, but nothing show up on theirs lol.. not saying that's ALWAYS going to be the case if you don't hear back from someone.. but its a possibility.
Yea, I think maybe wait a few more days, but if you don't mind, call her again. Maybe text first, just to have a conversation of sorts, hi, how are you doing, something something- to see if she really is ignoring you. and if she isnt, call later and ask her out again.
Thanks for your answer! Definitely understand what you're saying. She's definitely tougher to decipher than other girls I've been out with or had relationships with. She's a really traditional girl, a Christian, and from a generally conservative background. All 3 of which I really like about her.
I wondered about the call maybe not having gone through, too, because she did make a comment on our date about how sometimes one of her girl friend's texts don'e always come through the right way.
- Show Older Hide Older
Well, lets hope that IS the case! =)
Oh, yea 2 days is nothing really. (In my opinion)
And yes that's a possibility too, if that is the case then kinda let her decide. If she feels like she should, the she might do it herself.
What Girls Said 3
What Guys Said 2
I think you did a really good job on the dates man. You sound like you've got a clue. Only thing I see that you might have done wrong is by not leaving a message. All you had to say is hey this is Vence, give me a call. If they're interested they'll call you. If not...they will text you.
Its not good at all that she hasn't responded at least by text after a few days. Whatever you do don't text her. I'd give it 5 days from the time you called...and call again. If still no answer, leave a message for her to call you.
I'm guessing she NEVER touched you at all during the 2 dates?
Hey bro, thanks for the answer. Yeah, I thought about leaving a message, but just decided not to.
We touched during the second date, yeah. Ice skating was helpful for that. I just held my hand out and she reached out for it and my arm throughout the night. Had to catch her to keep her from falling a few times haha.
But yeah, I was going to ask her out for this Friday, but at this point I'll just chill and give her a call early next week or something if I don't hear from her before then.
- Show Older Hide Older
When I called her to ask her on the second date she didn't answer, but called me back. I couldn't answer when she called and gave her a call back.
That's exactly how I would read most women's actions, but because of her traditional background and lack of dating experience, I feel like she's a little harder to for sure draw that conclusion like I usually would.
Yeah...call her Sun or Monday night, and if there's no call or text after you leave a message...you can throw away her number, and move on to pursuing someone who wants to be.
Have an opinion?

Thailand imposes personal income tax on the Thai-sourced income of both residents and non-residents. Residents are taxed on foreign-sourced income to the extent that it is paid in or bring into Thailand in the year it is received.
A person's liability to Thai tax is determined by residence status for taxation purposes and the source of income derived by the individual.
Every person, resident or non-resident, is taxed on employment income derived from employment or business carried on in Thailand, regardless of whether such income is paid inside or outside of Thailand.
Liability for income tax
A person's liability for Thai tax is determined by both residence and source rules. A resident of Thailand for tax purposes refers to an individual who is present in Thailand for a total of at least 180 days in a tax year (being the calendar year).
The general rule is that a person who is either a resident or non-resident of Thailand is assessable on income derived from sources in Thailand. A resident is also subject to Thai tax on foreign-sourced income, but only if that income is remitted to Thailand in the same year it is received. Extended business travelers are considered non-residents of Thailand for tax purposes unless they are present in Thailand for more than 180 days in the tax year.
Definition of source
Employment income is generally treated as Thai-sourced compensation where the individual performs the services in Thailand and/or performs the services for the business of the employer in Thailand.
Tax trigger points
Technically, there is no threshold/minimum number of days that exempts the employee from the requirements to file and pay tax in Thailand. To the extent that the individual qualifies for relief in terms of the dependent personal services article of the applicable double tax treaty, there may be no tax liability.
Types of taxable income
Assessable income includes income from employment, including benefits either in cash or in-kind. There are limited categories of income that are specifically excluded from assessable income by virtue of Section 42 of the Revenue Code.
Tax rates
The maximum tax rate applies to income earned over 4 million Thai baht (THB).
Net taxable income is taxed at progressive rates up to 35 percent. The maximum tax rate is currently 35 percent on income over THB4 million in the case of both residents and non-residents.
Liability for social security
Resident and non-resident employees are required to make contributions to Thailand's social security fund. Contributions to the social security fund are made by employees and employers in equal proportions. The present rate of contribution made by each party is 5 percent of the employee's salary, up to a maximum amount of THB750 per month. . The contributions must be deducted by the employer at the source and remitted to the social security fund on a monthly basis.
Employee compliance obligations
Tax returns are due by 31 March following the tax year-end, which is 31 December.
Employer reporting and withholding requirements
Employers are required to withhold income tax from salaries and benefits paid to employees. A monthly withholding tax return must be filed with the tax authorities by the employer by the 7th of the following month. Employers also are required to file an annual withholding tax return with the tax authorities by the end of February following the tax year-end, which summarizes total income paid and tax withheld for the previous tax year.
Work permit/visa requirements
A foreigner entering Thailand to work must obtain a non-immigrant visa from the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate. This visa entitles the foreigner to apply for a work permit.
Double taxation treaties
Thailand has an extensive tax treaty network. Thailand has entered into double taxation treaties with more than 55 countries to prevent double taxation and allow cooperation between Thailand and overseas tax authorities in enforcing their respective tax laws. Claims for double tax relief are not required to be submitted. It iA permanent establishment (PE) may potentially be created as a result of extended business travel, but this would be dependent on the type of services performed and the level of authority the employee has.s the responsibility of the taxpayer to determine whether the relief is applicable.
Permanent establishment implications
A permanent establishment (PE) may potentially be created as a result of extended business travel, but this would be dependent on the type of services performed and the level of authority the employee has.
Indirect taxes
Value-added tax (VAT) is applicable at 7 percent on taxable supplies. The rate may increase potentially increase to 10% after September 2014. VAT registration is not required on employment income.
Transfer pricing
The Thai Revenue Code empowers the tax authority to assess deemed income if the services are provided without consideration. A transfer pricing implication could arise if the employee is being paid by an entity in Thailand but performing services for the benefit of another entity. This would also be dependent on the nature and complexity of the services performed.
Local data privacy requirements
Thailand has data privacy laws.
Exchange control
Thailand has foreign exchange control laws that, among other measures, limit the amount of Thai currency that a traveler may take out of Thailand to THB50,000. Authorized banks, however, are allowed to conduct the majority of foreign exchange transactions without government control.
Non-deductible costs for assignees
Non-deductible costs for assignees include payments that are not for or related to the employer's business.

Representative of the wave of warmer-weather players making their marks on a sheet of ice, Jonathon Blum of the Nashville Predators is enjoying a homecoming this week as he returns to his native Southern California to face the Kings and Ducks. Born in Long Beach and raised in Rancho Santa Margarita, a town perhaps more known for The Real Housewives of Orange County than for producing hockey players, the avid surfer-turned-versatile defenseman became the first player born and raised in California to be selected in the first round of the NHL Draft when Nashville selected him 23rd overall in 2007. A Western Hockey League and Memorial Cup champion with the Vancouver Giants where he played alongside Milan Lucic and Evander Kane, the 22 year old left 20 tickets for friends and family for Tuesday's 4-2 loss in Los Angeles, with more expected Wednesday in Anaheim (7 p.m. PRIME TICKET KLAA 830).

Sounds Like: Official M. Ward Page, Jeff Buckley, Fionn Regan, Sam Cooke Bio: Brett Vaughn is a Singer/Songwriter located in Athens, GA. He sings. He writes songs. Somehow the two go together.
For the uninitiated, Dead Confederate is a five-piece rock band from Athens, GA whose music runs the gamut of infectious psychedelia to a uniquely southern and ferocious dirge. Although, placing labels on a band like this is rather pointless as their sound seems a constant and fluid evolution; they never seem content with abiding by the guides of one sub-genre, so maybe it's best we just leave it at "rock" for simplicity's sake. Dead Confederate, in name and sound, formed in 2006 in Atlanta, GA b... show more >
Formed by brothers Ethan and Asher Payne in 2010, Easter Island creates panoramic, post-rock inspired dream pop.

Often compared to sonic pioneers of the 90s and 00s, Explosions In Sky, My Bloody Valentine, Pedro The Lion, and Sigur Rós, Easter Island makes no compromise to explore unknown sonic t... show more >

High Strung String Band breathes new life into an old tradition.

Love 'em or hate 'em, over the past couple of years, the Birdhouse Collection has been responsible for some of the most vital and uncompromising music in Athens.

Graham getaway offers SOLACE, SERENITY
Resort is ideal for company retreats, events
GRAHAM — The Wildcatter Ranch & Resort has become a go-to destination for corporate retreats.
Visitors flock to the facility on the outskirts of Graham each year, seeking the solace and serenity of the countryside as the perfect place for a company getaway.
The Wildcatter built a hotel and conference center two years ago to better cater to this clientele, Resort Manager Jason McAlister said.
"We really saw the need for having better facilities for our corporate groups," he said. "About 50 percent of our business is from corporate retreats, so adding the nicer conference rooms with built in audiovisual equipment, that has really helped us better serve our clients. We are giving them what you would expect in an upscale conference center."
The new center features 16 hotel rooms upstairs, with four large conference rooms and a large hall downstairs.
McAlister said the hotel and conference center gets a lot of return customers.
"Once people come here, our percentage of repeat business is extremely high," he said. "They see where they are and what we have to offer, and they are really quick to come back."
The Wildcatter Ranch & Resort is a popular destination for corporate gatherings because of its convenient location and the relaxing amenities it has, he said.
"Not only do we have a beautiful location, but we're an easy two-hour drive from DFW [airport]," he said. "We're not too far away, but our location is good because we are still removing people from the city, which is what you want in a corporate retreat."
The hotel and conference center are the latest additions at the ranch, which originally opened 10 years ago. Each year since opening, the resort has made major improvements and additions, McAlister said.
"Every year, we've added some new element," he said. "First, we added the horse barn, then we built the cabin suites, we built eight cabins, and then eight more, and then the hotel. We've done things in phases."
The award-winning Wildcatter Steakhouse just celebrated its sixth birthday. The ranch's next improvement project is to enclose the large pavilion, McAlister said. The project should be completed this spring.
"We are glassing it in, and it will be a beautiful location for weddings or other gatherings," he said. "The views from that area are incredible. We'll be able to do weddings and events year-round, which will be really nice. In July, when it's 105 degrees outside, it's not that appealing to have an outdoor wedding after all."

OpenBSD/octeon is a port intended to run on systems based upon the Cavium Octeon and Octeon PLUS MIPS64 CPUs.
OpenBSD/octeon began in 2010 with an SDK created by IIJ and donated to OpenBSD. Early work targeted the Portwell CAM-0100.
Due to the lack of available hardware, the port lay dormant for a few years. This changed in January 2013 with the release of the Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter LITE. Several developers obtained these new machines, and work began immediately. Due to issues with USB support, the port to the Portwell CAM-0100 matured first because it allowed CF cards to be used as a storage medium.
Development has been rapid, with the port to the Portwell CAM-0100 becoming self-hosting in April 2013. In August 2013 the DSR-500 model reached userland and could host OpenBSD via NFS. Support for EdgeRouter LITE Ethernet was added in September 2013, allowing the EdgeRouter LITE to be usable by NFS booting.
And work continues...
OpenBSD/octeon supports the following machines:
Currently it is possible to install OpenBSD/octeon on the Portwell CAM-0100 machines, as they have a working storage driver. The DSR-500 and EdgeRouter LITE may also be used by booting over NFS.
The latest supported OpenBSD/octeon release is OpenBSD 5.7. Here are the OpenBSD/octeon 5.7 installation instructions .
Snapshots are made available from time to time, in this location as well as in a few mirrors. Here are the OpenBSD/octeon snapshot installation instructions as well.

Hawks in Congress Rally With Defense Industry to Fight Cuts
Nov. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Republicans on the U.S. House and Senate defense committees say they'll work to block $500 billion in defense budget cuts threatened by the failure of the deficit supercommittee to reach agreement yesterday.
The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said he will introduce legislation to prevent the cuts. President Barack Obama said he'd veto any attempt to void the automatic cuts.
"I will not be the armed services chairman who presides over crippling our military," Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, a California Republican, said in a statement yesterday.
Republican Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona said they also were working on a plan to evade the automatic cutback.
"The first responsibility of any government is to provide for the common defense; we will pursue all options to make certain that we continue to fulfill that solemn commitment," Graham and McCain said in a joint e-mailed statement.
Lawmakers on the bipartisan supercommittee announced yesterday that they failed to reach agreement on a plan to reduce the federal deficit by at least $1.2 trillion. Under the law, automatic spending cuts for the Defense Department and other agencies would take effect in 2013.
Veto Threat
Obama said yesterday that he would veto any move to avoid the automatic cuts. Lawmakers still have a year to "figure it out" and come up with a deficit reduction plan, he said.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta pressed lawmakers in a statement "to avoid an easy way out of this crisis," and pass deficit reduction measures at least equal to the $1.2 trillion that the supercommittee was tasked with finding.
"If Congress fails to act over the next year, the Department of Defense will face devastating, automatic, across-the-board cuts that will tear a seam in the nation's defense," said Panetta. "I have never been more concerned about the ability of Congress to forge common-sense solutions to the nation's pressing problems."
Defense companies and their lobbyists will prepare their "playbooks" to fight automatic cuts next year, said Michael Herson, president of American Defense International, a lobbying and consulting firm in Washington, DC. ADI's client roster includes Northrop Grumman Corp. and General Atomics, the maker of the Predator drones.
'Figure This Out'
The automatic defense cuts of $500 billion, not including interest, are slated to start in 2013, leaving almost a whole year for negotiations, said Herson.
"It gives us a whole year to try and figure this out," Herson said.
Defense companies "are all going to be acting differently," he said. "They are going to be preparing themselves for the worst but they are going to hope for a deal to be done. Defense companies will not be affected by this equally: there will be winners and losers."
The Pentagon already is cutting about $450 billion from its budget over the next decade as a result of the budget control act that Obama signed into law Aug. 2. The same measure created the supercommittee.
'Hollow Force'
Panetta warned yesterday that the additional cuts would lead to a "hollow force" and would "jeopardize" the Pentagon's ability to provide the members of the military and their families with the benefits that they have been promised.
"Our military has already contributed nearly half a trillion to deficit reduction," McKeon said in the e-mailed statement. "Those who have given us so much, have nothing more to give."
McKeon is still weighing the options of how to reverse the automatic cuts as well as the best time to introduce his measure.
If Republican efforts to reverse the automatic defense cuts fail, the Defense Department's budget would face reductions of about $1 trillion over a decade, the most of any department.
Panetta on Nov. 14 said in a letter that cutting $1 trillion from defense may lead to the termination of Lockheed Martin Corp.'s F-35 jet and would reduce the "size of the military sharply." At $382 billion, the F-35 is the Pentagon's most expensive weapons program.
If Obama exercises his authority to exempt military personnel from cuts, other Pentagon programs could be slashed in 2013 by 23 percent, Panetta said. Such funding reductions may mean termination of programs such as the F-35, major space initiatives, silo-based U.S. nuclear missiles and a new vehicle for the Army and Marine Corps. The Navy's new Littoral Combat Ship program might be affected, Panetta wrote. The ship is designed to operate closer to coastlines than existing surface vessels and may be used for clearing mines, hunting submarines and providing humanitarian relief.
Cutback Limitations
"You cannot buy three quarters of a ship or a building," he wrote the lawmakers, urging them to ensure that Congress finds deficit reduction through other means.
The Pentagon as recently as February anticipated spending $571 billion in 2013, or 1 percent real growth over fiscal 2012's $553 billion basic request. The projections increase to $611 billion in 2016. Without the automatic cuts, Pentagon budget planners anticipate about $522.5 billion annually in 2014-2017, in 2011 dollars. The projections assume war funding of $50 billion in 2014, $30 billion in 2016 and $20 billion in 2017. That's down from $117 billion proposed this fiscal year.
Mothballed Ships
McKeon's committee in September released an analysis that concluded that the U.S. Navy may mothball as many as 60 ships if automatic spending cuts go into effect. The Pentagon would have to curtail the next generation bomber and Boeing Co.'s refueling tankers, according to the assessment compiled by the Republican staff of the Armed Services Committee.
The analysis assumes more than $1 trillion in defense cuts and that military pay, benefits and funding of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would be exempted. Each military department would take a cut of 24 percent from remaining appropriations, it said.
Defense and aerospace companies, led by the Aerospace Industries Association, have warned lawmakers that the U.S. would lose 1 million jobs and $59.4 billion in wages and salaries tied to their businesses if automatic cuts are imposed.
The Aerospace Industries Association -- a trade group which represents Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman -- has been using the figures in its lobbying campaign to persuade lawmakers to avoid a scenario in which the defense budget may be cut by $1 trillion over the next decade.
Job Losses
The study commissioned by AIA "assumes that nothing else happens when you cut defense," said Gordon Adams, a professor at the American University in Washington and a former official in the White House Office of Management and Budget during the Clinton administration.
"Assume, for a moment, that reducing defense budgets, along with other spending, and holding revenue policy constant had, as Republican economics assume today, a healthy impact on economic growth and job creation," Adams wrote on his blog Capital Gains and Games. "Private capital is liberated to invest, risk-takers abound, interest rates remain low, the government gets smaller, and, voila!, the economy starts to surge, creating millions of jobs."
AIA President Marion Blakey warned in a statement yesterday that the Pentagon will start applying cuts to the fiscal year 2013 budget which it presents to Congress in February.
"Job losses will increase as the Pentagon is forced to halt work," Blakey said. "AIA will continue to make sure that the impacts to our nation, economy and industry are well understood by all Americans."

Words in pictures: Russell Hoban
The late author discusses his penchant for writing songs and rhymes.
The late author discusses his penchant for writing songs and rhymes.
by Rebecca Lloyd Published
The cult writer and author of Riddley Walker died yesterday, aged 86.
Hoban is famous for creating Frances, a young girl who appeared in the guise of a badger, in seven children's books, such as Bedtime for Frances and A Birthday for Frances. In total he penned over 50 children's books, illustrating many himself.
His most famous adult novel was Riddley Walker, which established his reputation as a profoundly original novelist. The science-fiction work, set 2,000 years in the future after a nuclear war has ended civilisation, is famous for its poetic representation of what language might sound like in a post-apocalyptic world.
In the clip below, Hoban discusses the use of rhymes and songs in Riddley Walker.

SUNY Upstate's Joslin Diabetes Center to hold 2002 Community Diabetes Forum Nov. 6
The Joslin Diabetes Center of SUNY Upstate Medical University will hold the 2002 Community Diabetes Forum Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel, 801 University Ave.
Joslin Diabetes Center speakers include Ruth Weinstock, M.D., Ph.D, the center's medical director; Gerald Saponara, M.D., podiatrist; and certified diabetes educators Jody Kearns and Suzanne Meyers.
Featured speaker will be Marlowe Smith, minister of music at The First Cathedral in Bloomfield, Conn., who will give a diabetic patient's perspective on the struggle to live with the disease. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and weighing 400 pounds, Marlowe got his "wake up call" in 1994 when doctors diagnosed a cyst on his leg. This meant drastic medical measures unless he took action. Today, through changes in diet, discipline and exercise, Marlowe now weighs 220 pounds.
The Joslin Diabetes Center at the SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse opened in 1995 as the 11th affiliate of the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, and the only one of its kind in upstate New York.
The event is free but seating is limited. Attendees must register by calling University Hospital's Health Connections at 315-464-8668.

4cups of milk made this way too runny. Would have set up better with 2 1/2-3 cups and it would have been perfect. Trust me the 4cups makes it way too runny. Will be making it again but using less milk.
Great dirt cake recipe! Super easy and a big hit with kids and kids-at-heart.

The worst is wherever the Boston Celtics call home these days.
Candlestick - A.K.A. 3Com Park & Monster Park
The best of the corporate names sound like a real person's name, like Miller Park and Coors Field. The worst are those made-up generic high-tech names like Comerica, Pac Bell or Petco.
Wasn't the first stadium to recently use Ballpark where the Rangers play. "The Ballpark in Arlington". The "in Arlington" was pretty hokey. It should have just been Arlington Ballpark. Now it is Ameriquest Field. I like Ballpark too.
I think Camden Yards is pretty cool name.
Bank One Ballpark! THE BOB sounds good. What is now called? Chase Field.
Didn't Louisville try to recently get the Vancouver Griz to move there and want to bring back the Kentucky Colonels? Didn't they want to build a stadium that was shaped like an old KFC Bucket of Chicken or something? what would they have called it? The Bucket!!! Guess it fits for basketball.

Soldier Field, now New Soldier Field. The "New" sounds tacky.
I also like the name, "Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum"
Not just a park or field, but a COLISEUM!
FWIW, I never ever liked the name Cynergy Field. :thumbdown
As far as current names go, the Great American Ball Park is about as good as it gets when considering the competition.
And it's not a sold name, so it doesn't really count, but Oriole Park at Camden Yards is the best name ever. It's such a perfect fake-old sounding name for a perfect fake-old looking ballpark, that I'm totally willing to buy into it.

Use of indoor tanning beds increases risk of melanoma between twofold and fourfold depending on the device and length of time indoor tanning is used, according to a report in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

In the largest study of its kind on this issue, researchers found that among 1,167 melanoma cases and 1,101 healthy controls, those who had tanned indoors had a 74 percent increased risk of melanoma. If the devices emitted primarily UVA radiation, the risk was 4.4-fold.
Risk increased along with greater years of use, number of sessions or total hours of use.

Louisville's Rick Pitino, Cincinnati's Mick Cronin among AAC coaches impressed by Memphis freshman Austin Nichols
Pastner says Tiger is AAC's top rookie
If University of Memphis freshman forward Austin Nichols isn't named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year when the league announces its individual regular-season awards Wednesday, coach Josh Pastner says he'll go to "the highest level of government" and demand an internal investigation.
OK, so maybe Pastner wouldn't go that far. But he would be miffed, to say the least.
"If Austin doesn't get it, it's a conspiracy theory. It's impossible that Austin Nichols doesn't get Rookie of the Year. There would be no words to describe it if he didn't get Rookie of the Year," Pastner said after Nichols was named the league's Rookie of the Week for the third straight week and fourth time this season Monday.
A 6-8, 212-pound power forward who's started every game for the Tigers this season, Nichols enters this week's AAC tournament at FedExForum on a tear, having averaged 14 points and 6.2 rebounds over the last three weeks.
After a 20-game stretch from Dec. 1 to Feb. 15 in which he scored in double figures just four times, the former Briarcrest Christian standout has scored in double figures in each of the last six games, including a 14-point, 9-rebound performance in Memphis' 67-58 win over previously No. 18-ranked SMU in its regular-season finale Saturday.
"It definitely was a freshman wall. It just came out of nowhere. I kind of hit it and I didn't really know what to do," Nichols said of his mid-season struggles. "I just kept pushing, trying to give 100 percent in practice, and eventually I picked it up. It was sort of like a switch."
For the season, Nichols, who credits his strong play of late to an improved sense of confidence, ranks fourth for Memphis in scoring (9.3 points per game) and third in rebounding (4.3 rpg). In league play alone, he led the AAC in field-goal percentage (.639) and was the only freshman ranked among the league's top 30 players in scoring (29th at 9.5 ppg).
Nichols and fifth-seeded Memphis (23-8), which moved up a spot to No. 19 in The Associated Press Top 25 on Monday, open AAC tournament play on Thursday at approximately 8:30 p.m. against fourth-seeded and No. 21-ranked Connecticut (24-7).
"He's one of the best freshmen I've watched in the country," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said of Nichols, who averaged 12 points and six rebounds in the Tigers' two wins over the Cardinals this season. "He really understands how to play the game. He's improved his perimeter shot. Great with his left hand. Very good passer. So he's one of the premier freshmen in the country. I don't know whether he's Rookie of the Year or not. That's for the coaches to vote on."
Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin recruited Nichols while at Briarcrest and was one of the first coaches to offer him a scholarship.
"He's a rarity. A guy that can use his left hand in the low post. Can score with both hands around the rim. Keeps the ball high," Cronin said. "He's had excellent coaching, from his high school coach and everybody that's worked with him.
"His offense right now is definitely ahead of his defense, but you can say that about every freshman in the country. He's definitely gotten better as the year has gone on. I think that's a credit to coach Pastner and his staff, how they've been able to help him to adjust to the physicality of the game and continue to get better throughout his freshman year."
While South Florida freshman big man Chris Perry (8.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg) could also earn votes for the AAC's Rookie of the Year award, having been named the league's Rookie of the Week a league-high five times, Nichols will undoubtedly be among the players named Tuesday to the AAC's all-rookie team. The league will also announce its first and second all-conference teams on Tuesday.
"It's just an award," Nichols said of potentially being named the league's top freshman. "I'd love to get it, but I'm kind of focused on the season right now. We got UConn coming up. I'm just trying to focus on getting that win."

We heard from several NFL front office types this week that USC O-Coordinator Norm Chow -- who it seems has been passed over for every vacant D-I job known to mankind -- may be taking his offensive prowess to the pro game for 2005. Teams linked to have an interest in Chow include the Jets, Jags, Browns and Cardinals.
Watching chow's offense vs what Knapp has done is like night and day.Chow is one of the most creative offensive coordinator's in pro or college.No way do the falcon's cut knapp now since it is Mora's buddy.Chow is going to be a huge success in the NFL just get him some players.

It was a major mistake for Stanford to pass up Norm Chow for Walt Harris. I know their AD is old friends with Harris, but really Chow is a very smart coach, as you said. The only thing I might think is that he doesn't interview well, or maybe a bit too quirky, but he seems normal enough from what I've seen.
I could see Chow going to Chicago to tutor Rex Grossman. I could see the Jags and Cardinals doing a lot to get him as well.

33 year old man | Palm Harbor, FL, USA | Seeking women 25-45 within 50 miles
If it is to be, it is up to me... ten most important two letter words.
I am a regular guy with no kids, a decent job, and no criminal record. I own a home (thanks to my late Mother), I have some things I would like to do with my life, and I would like to meet a woman who is looking for a reliable and giving individual. I have been through quite a bit in my life, and really had to grow as a person to get through it. I would like to meet a young lady who has a solid & level head on her shoulders. Intelligence and honesty are the most important qualities I look for in a woman, everything else is negotiable... except for not enjoying the outdoors. You have to be o.k. with tolerating a little dirt under your nails, and be willing to sleep in a tent on occasion. Oh, I am also an open book (pardon the cliche)... so if you want to know anything, just ask.
Camping , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Bowling, Cycling, Golf, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I am an animal lover, but don't have any myself... kinda weird, huh? I guess I feel if I was to get a pet, it would be a big responsibility and I have a pretty busy life that doesn't really allow for that.
Middle of the Road
The Smoky Mountains, Ginnie Springs.. any spring for that matter. As a Florida native, I really enjoy exploring one of the few places (I exaggerate) I haven't been here in this beautiful state.
Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville, FL
I like all kinds of music. If someone takes the time to create it, I will listen to it at least once... especially live. I also love to cook. Being the only child of a single mother does have its perks.
I am a lover of the outdoors. I spend the entire week inside, so I like to get out whenever possible. I also like to travel... weekend road trips are definitely my thing. I play Disc Golf, and love camping next to spring fed rivers.
I read boring stuff, like: news, scientific journals, books about birds, rocks, and weather.

Walnut and Vanilla Ice Palmiers
|Walnut pieces
|3 Ounce (75 gram / 3/4 cup)
|Puff pastry
|12 Ounce (350 gram)
|1 , beaten
|Castor sugar
|45 Milliliter (3 tablespoon, superfine)
|Vanilla ice cream
|7 Fluid Ounce (200 milliliter, adjust quantity as needed)
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/ Gas 6. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with butter. Chop the walnuts finely. On a lightly floured surface roll the pastry to a thin rectangle measuring 30x20cm/12x8in.
2. Trim the edges of the pastry, then brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle all but 45ml/3 tbsp of the walnuts and 30ml/2 tbsp of the sugar over the pastry.
3. Run the rolling pin over the walnuts to press them gently into the pastry, then roll up the pastry from one short edge to the centre, then roll up the other side until the two rolls meet.
4. Brush the points where the rolls meet with a little beaten egg. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into 1cm/1/2in slices.
5. Lay the slices on their sides and flatten them with a rolling pin. Transfer to the baking sheet. Brush the slices with more beaten egg and sprinkle with the reserved walnuts and sugar.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until pale golden. Serve the palmiers warm, in pairs, sandwiched with ice cream.
