ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves tied the score at two halfway through the third period, but the Abbotsford Heat bagged the game-winning goal 24 seconds later to earn a 3-2 victory over the Wolves Saturday night at the Allstate Arena.
Left wing Darren Archibald and defenseman Zach Miskovic posted tallies for Chicago (13-11-3-1), which has dropped three straight games after a four-game winning streak.
"You never want to give up a goal the shift after you score, but we got caught watching the puck," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "We had opportunities after, but we couldn't get another in the back of the net."
With the score 2-1 in favor of Abbotsford (16-8-3-3) after 40 minutes of play, the Wolves knotted the score at two with Miskovic's blast from the top of the far circle that beat screened Heat netminder Danny Taylor at 11:54 of the third period.
Chicago's tie was short-lived as the Heat regained the lead 24 seconds later. Kolanos controlled the puck behind the Wolves net and sent a backhand pass through the crease and center Paul Bryon deposited a shot past an outstretched Wolves goaltender Matt Climie.
Abbotsford opened scoring when center Brett Olson's shot from the near circle hit off Climie's glove and forward Ben Street corralled the rebound in the crease and tucked the puck over the goal line at 9:25 of the second period.
The Heat doubled their lead 1:55 later when center Ben Walter sent a shot that was blocked by a Wolves defenseman, but the puck bounced to Kolanos and he walked into the slot and slipped a shot through the five-hole of Climie.
Climie (6-10-0), who started for the 11th game in a row, stopped 24 of 27 shots.
The Wolves drew within 2-1 when right wing Zack Kassian zipped a pass across the crease to Archibald, who tapped home the puck between the post and Taylor's pads at 16:01 of the second frame.
Taylor (6-6-1) thwarted 25 shots to earn the win.
The Wolves and Heat will face off in a rematch at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Allstate Arena.

your desire to help like minded people is commendable, however i have to agree with others here in that its likely not a good idea. it wont take long at all before everyone who knows the code will tell 2 or 3 people to help them out, then those 2 or 3 tell 2 or 3 more to help THEM out... before you know it everyone kind enough to reciprocate needed supplies is now a target for those that WILL lie to gain your trust and rob/kill you when your back is turned to get at your supplies
its my oppinion that the survivalist type will endure even if they are put in the position that would leave them needing supplies (house fire destroys all their supplies, NEED to relocate and cant bring enough for long term survival for whatever reason etc...) and while a helpful friend would be appreciated im sure, they will get by without potentially compromising those that are more prepared than the masses
maybe a code that could be left in certain areas like in front of a town hall that would be dated, and on that date anybody who showed up at the town hall could be observed from a distance. or whoever posted the code could "show up" like anybody else and interact to get a feel for potential friends/allies. sure beats everyone showing up at my door whenever they want. maybe thats more geared towards the end as we know it than hitting the fan. i dunno im tired and in a typing mood

- Introduction
- Major branches of geometry
- History of geometry
geometry, the branch of mathematics concerned with the shape of individual objects, spatial relationships among various objects, and the properties of surrounding space. It is one of the oldest branches of mathematics, having arisen in response to such practical problems as those found in surveying, and its name is derived from Greek words meaning "Earth measurement." Eventually it was realized that geometry need not be limited to the study of flat surfaces (plane geometry) and rigid three-dimensional objects (solid geometry) but that even the most abstract thoughts and images might be represented and developed in geometric terms.
This article begins with a brief guidepost to the major branches of geometry and then proceeds to an extensive historical treatment. For information on specific branches of geometry, see Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, non-Euclidean geometries, and topology.
Major branches of geometry
Euclidean geometry
In several ancient cultures there developed a form of geometry suited to the relationships between lengths, areas, and volumes of physical objects. This geometry was codified in Euclid's Elements about 300 bce on the basis of 10 axioms, or postulates, from which several hundred theorems were proved by deductive logic. The Elements epitomized the axiomatic-deductive method for many centuries.
Analytic geometry
Analytic geometry was initiated by the French mathematician René Descartes (1596–1650), who introduced rectangular coordinates to locate points and to enable lines and curves to be represented with algebraic equations. Algebraic geometry is a modern extension of the subject to multidimensional and non-Euclidean spaces.
Projective geometry
Projective geometry originated with the French mathematician Girard Desargues (1591–1661) to deal with those properties of geometric figures that are not altered by projecting their image, or "shadow," onto another surface.
Differential geometry
The German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855), in connection with practical problems of surveying and geodesy, initiated the field of differential geometry. Using differential calculus, he characterized the intrinsic properties of curves and surfaces. For instance, he showed that the intrinsic curvature of a cylinder is the same as that of a plane, as can be seen by cutting a cylinder along its axis and flattening, but not the same as that of a sphere, which cannot be flattened without distortion.
Non-Euclidean geometries
Beginning in the 19th century, various mathematicians substituted alternatives to Euclid's parallel postulate, which, in its modern form, reads, "given a line and a point not on the line, it is possible to draw exactly one line through the given point parallel to the line." They hoped to show that the alternatives were logically impossible. Instead, they discovered that consistent non-Euclidean geometries exist.
Topology, the youngest and most sophisticated branch of geometry, focuses on the properties of geometric objects that remain unchanged upon continuous deformation—shrinking, stretching, and folding, but not tearing. The continuous development of topology dates from 1911, when the Dutch mathematician L.E.J. Brouwer (1881–1966) introduced methods generally applicable to the topic.
History of geometry
The earliest known unambiguous examples of written records—dating from Egypt and Mesopotamia about 3100 bce—demonstrate that ancient peoples had already begun to devise mathematical rules and techniques useful for surveying land areas, constructing buildings, and measuring storage containers. Beginning about the 6th century bce, the Greeks gathered and extended this practical knowledge and from it generalized the abstract subject now known as geometry, from the combination of the Greek words geo ("Earth") and metron ("measure") for the measurement of the Earth.
In addition to describing some of the achievements of the ancient Greeks, notably Euclid's logical development of geometry in the Elements, this article examines some applications of geometry to astronomy, cartography, and painting from classical Greece through medieval Islam and Renaissance Europe. It concludes with a brief discussion of extensions to non-Euclidean and multidimensional geometries in the modern age.
Ancient geometry: practical and empirical
The origin of geometry lies in the concerns of everyday life. The traditional account, preserved in Herodotus's History (5th century bce), credits the Egyptians with inventing surveying in order to reestablish property values after the annual flood of the Nile. Similarly, eagerness to know the volumes of solid figures derived from the need to evaluate tribute, store oil and grain, and build dams and pyramids. Even the three abstruse geometrical problems of ancient times—to double a cube, trisect an angle, and square a circle, all of which will be discussed later—probably arose from practical matters, from religious ritual, timekeeping, and construction, respectively, in pre-Greek societies of the Mediterranean. And the main subject of later Greek geometry, the theory of conic sections, owed its general importance, and perhaps also its origin, to its application to optics and astronomy.
While many ancient individuals, known and unknown, contributed to the subject, none equaled the impact of Euclid and his Elements of geometry, a book now 2,300 years old and the object of as much painful and painstaking study as the Bible. Much less is known about Euclid, however, than about Moses. In fact, the only thing known with a fair degree of confidence is that Euclid taught at the Library of Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–285/283 bce). Euclid wrote not only on geometry but also on astronomy and optics and perhaps also on mechanics and music. Only the Elements, which was extensively copied and translated, has survived intact.
Euclid's Elements was so complete and clearly written that it literally obliterated the work of his predecessors. What is known about Greek geometry before him comes primarily from bits quoted by Plato and Aristotle and by later mathematicians and commentators. Among other precious items they preserved are some results and the general approach of Pythagoras (c. 580–c. 500 bce) and his followers. The Pythagoreans convinced themselves that all things are, or owe their relationships to, numbers. The doctrine gave mathematics supreme importance in the investigation and understanding of the world. Plato developed a similar view, and philosophers influenced by Pythagoras or Plato often wrote ecstatically about geometry as the key to the interpretation of the universe. Thus ancient geometry gained an association with the sublime to complement its earthy origins and its reputation as the exemplar of precise reasoning.

JERUSALEM (AP) Israel scrambled fighter jets to intercept a drone Saturday that crossed deep into Israeli airspace from the Mediterranean Sea, shooting the aircraft down over the countrys southern desert, the military said.
The incident marked the first time in at least six years that a hostile aircraft has penetrated Israels airspace, and Israeli officials said they were taking the incident seriously, raising the possibility of retaliatory action.
It was not immediately clear who launched the drone, but suspicion quickly fell on the Lebanese Islamic militant group Hezbollah. The Iranian-backed group is known to have sent drones into Israeli airspace on several previous occasions.
Tensions are running high between Iran and Israel over Tehrans nuclear program, which the West believes is cover for the development of atomic weapons. The Islamic Republic denies the allegations, and says its program is for peaceful purposes only. Israel has threatened to carry out a military strike against Irans nuclear facilities to prevent Iran from acquiring such weapons.
Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said Israeli ground systems detected the drone, which flew over the Gaza Strip but did not originate there, Saturday morning. They alerted the air force, which scrambled the jets to intercept the aircraft. She said Israel was still trying to determine where the drone took off from. Nobody was hurt in the incident.
Leibovich said Israeli jets escorted the drone before deciding to bring it down in the northern Negev area, which is largely uninhabited.
The drone, which was downed near the Yatir Forrest close to the West Bank, had spent about 20 minutes in Israeli air space, an Israeli military official said on condition of anonymity in line with protocol.
Leibovich did not give more details, but Israel media reported that the aircraft was not carrying explosives and could have been a surveillance drone.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in a statement that Israel views this incident of attempting to enter Israeli airspace very severely and we will consider our response later, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel will continue to defend our borders in the sea, on the land and in the air for the security of the citizens of Israel.
Its not the first time that Israel has shot down a drone in its airspace, although such cases are very rare.
Hezbollah sent a few aircraft over Israel over the past decade but without much success. In the 2006 war, the militant group launched an Iranian-made drone capable of carrying explosives into Israel that was shot down. Another drone two years earlier crashed in the Mediterranean.
Last week Israeli authorities indicted an Arab citizen of Israel on charges of spying for Hezbollah, accusing him of gathering intelligence on security for Israels president and other public officials as well as military installations.

South Carolina ranks next to last (thanks, Louisiana) for the percentage of women in its state legislature, and its governor is the only woman in statewide elected office.
But there's a four-day conference starting Sunday at Winthrop University that could eventually help change that ranking.
NEW Leadership South Carolina is a joint project between Winthrop and the College of Charleston. It's affiliated with the NEW Leadership Network created by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
There are 20 female college students age 17 to "45-plus" attending the inaugural conference, said Katarina Moyon, co-director of the John C. West Forum on Politics and Policy at Winthrop. They come from a variety of disciplines and from eight different schools.
"We're really casting it a little more broadly for public leadership: Find your voice," said Lynne Ford, associate provost for Curriculum and Academic Administration at the College of Charleston.
This isn't the first effort in the state to help create more women leaders, but it may well be one of the first of its kind to work with college students.
Given our state's history, we should probably be starting even earlier.
Still striving
The conference includes a visit to the state Legislature, panel discussions and presentations with women leaders, including past and present elected officials.
"We would like to teach them a little bit about how the political process works and how they can have an influence in the process and give them the tools to have influence," said Moyon.
And Moyon and Ford are optimistic that some of the women involved will go on to do some kind of civic duty, whether that means running for a city or town council spot or applying for a seat on a board or commission or seeking higher office.
The final day focuses on professional skills: how to craft effective cover letters and resumes, as well as learning how to negotiate during your first job offer.
Because so many women are conditioned to be grateful for what they're given, "it's not surprising that the wage gap starts with the very first job," Ford said.
That may seem to be a whole different issue — the gender pay gap. But if there were more women in elected office, maybe it wouldn't be such a problem.
Leaning way in
After the conference ends, participants will come away with new skills and new confidence. And they'll have a built-in alumni network from the event, including the faculty-in-residence and the speakers, as well as the attendees themselves. As more groups complete the program, that network will continue to expand.
These are all skills that would help any woman — or man — on the road to a successful career and a fulfilling professional and personal life.
We desperately need programs like this to try to level the playing field — or to just give women a chance to take the field.

Wednesday, August 20, 2014
I was lamenting times passage the other day in a Facebook post, about how a person seems to have all the time in the world when he has nothing to look forward to, but the moment you find someone you really like and would love to spend all your time with, somebody upstairs hits the fast forward button and before you know it, your times up, shes gone, and here you sit, with all the time in the world, waiting on her to return.
Not to get all Sunday School on you but I really think God has one of those sardonic senses of humor.
Not that Im calling God grimly cynical but I enter as evidence the whole duck-billed platypus thing.
Thats someone with a sense of humor.
The time thing is simply irony played out at its finest. It crawls at a snails pace from eight in the morning until eight at night, but then during the nighttime hours the time flies like Im having fun.
Because I am.
Did you ever wonder why it seemed like Christmas took three years to get here, but the whole 24 hours of Christmas Day passed in about twenty minutes?
And the opening presents part; dont blink or youll be sitting there at 7:08 in the morning wondering how you got that plaid shirt, idiot mittens and wool socks.
Im getting older.
I dont have a lot of years left, and those years that are remaining are largely sedentary.
One joke thats made the rounds forever states that Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes.
I want to slow time down.
I want to hop off Father Times runaway train. I dont want to wish away the day as I dont mind waiting, but Id like the rest of the night to proceed at the same snails pace.
So, Facebook heard my plea and offered a pop-up ad to possibly rectify my dilemma.
Its a new kind of watch.
A timepiece called simply, Slow.
The teaser on the ad invited me to Stop wasting minutes and enjoy the hours in a day.
I thought, I could do that. How do I sign up?
I was then invited to take a sneak peek at this new watch, which retailed at $249.99.
For that price it better make like H.G. Wells and slow down time like it promises.
It did. Sort of.
You have to be careful when you include the qualifying phrase, Sort of, at the end of a sentence. Sort of can change the whole dynamic of a sentence and throw into question any fact offered for my consideration.
For example: I love you.
Theres no statement more clarified than I love you.
It says it all.
You have her heart.
Now, throw in the qualifier, sort of to the end of that statement and it changes everything.
I love you.
Sort of.
The Slow watch does exactly as advertised ... Sort of.
You no longer have to worry about wasting minutes because it comes with no minute hand.
Just the short hour hand.
One hand on the clockface.
Twenty-four numbers ranging from 0 to 23.
The lonely hour hand moves SLOWLY around the clockface, making time seem to pass more slowly ... sort of.
I just have no clue how to tell time with it.
Hey Dan, what time is it?
I look at my watch and reply, Its 13 oclock... sort of.
Ill be easier to tell time using the sun dial at Unity Park.
Sort of.

We offer hundreds of scholarships to help you achieve all your goals at the University of Sydney and give you the financial freedom to focus on your study and other commitments.
You need to apply for most of our scholarships well before you start studying, by September of the year before your course begins. You can apply for most of our school leavers' scholarships by filling in just one application form.
While you're at uni, there are ongoing scholarships you can apply for as well.
The Scholarships Office website will give you more information on faculty scholarships, specific scholarships for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and sports scholarships through the Elite Athletes Program.
Australian Government OS-HELP Loan Scheme
OS-HELP is a loan available to eligible Australian students enrolled in a Commonwealth supported place who have been approved to undertake some of their study overseas for credit. For more information, please visit the OS-HELP Loan Scheme page.
You need to pay for your course fees at the start of semester, by the date indicated on your online invoice. As a Commonwealth-supported student, the federal government will pay a large portion of your course fees. Eligible students can access HECS-HELP assistance – they can either pay upfront with a 10 percent HECS-HELP discount or obtain a full or part HECS-HELP loan. If you obtain a HECS-HELP loan, you will start paying your loan when the income is above a certain amount (in 2013-2014 financial year, the minimum threshold is $51,309).
- Find out more about Commonwealth-supported places.
- Find out more about HECS-HELP.
The Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSA) and SA-HELP
You need to pay the Student Services and Amenities (SSA) fee by the date indicated on your online invoice. In 2012 the federal government set the fee at $263, and it will be indexed annually thereafter. If you would like to defer paying this fee, you may be eligible to apply for an SA-HELP loan from the government. Find out more about the SSA fee and SA-HELP.

iOS 5 beta gallery 2
You've already sent us one set of iOS 4 beta screenshots, and you just keep them coming. So here we are with round 2, and here's what they show:
- Photo Stream can support multiple Apple IDs
- Automatic downloads work for apps everywhere, but for music only in the US
- Game Center has a place for your picture now
- iCloud won't work with Apple IDs that aren't email addresses (older Apple IDs)
- Swiping in weather gives you hourly forecasts (first update since 1.0, yay!)
- You can Tweet a single picture but not multiple pictures
- If you don't recall your password, there's an iForgot button (we kid you not)
Anyone notice anything else?
[Thanks Rodney, Kevin, JD, and anon!]

Folders in the dock!
you could always have folders in the dock
LOL!! Doh!
my bad...already could do that.
I have found that when I try to log in to iCloud it tells me my MobileMe account is already configured, but none of the iCloud features work. If I try to turn on Photo Stream, it just turns itself back off.
I am not 100% certain as to why that is, but it's annoying. Of course, everything else makes up for it.
the one question that I have is about icloud and itunes
can you have a different icloud email than what is on the itunes store account and it handles syncing well?
and then how does it handle two icloud accounts talking to the same itunes store account? Such as when you buy a song does it sync based on the icloud account of the that purchased it or the itunes store account that purchased it?
Just stuff re stocks apps in a folder and shove it to page 2. Out of sight out of mind. Give it a try worked for me.
Can anyone tell me, does iOs 5 set time and date support Internet time servers on no-n3G devices (iPod Touch, Wi-Fi iPad)? Or is there at least an API available for developers (at lest)?
This is a big part of cutting the cord, especially as the clocks on both my iPod and iPad run really fast. Pain to manually set them and syncing to the Mac only resets them when they are really far off actual time.
If you turn on LED notification, does it blink the LED flash continuously when there is an outstanding alert?
Also, if there is an alert that comes up when using the phone, then you lock it, does it show on the lock screen? I heard only new alerts when the phone is locked shows up on the lock screen.
Things only show up on the lock screen if they happened while it was locked. But at least they still show up in the notification center. They still don't have a snooze button on calendar entries. The iPhone must be the only devices ever made that doesn't have a snooze button. Come on apple, stop being so stubborn.
Great stuff. Mostly impresses by location based reminders and happy for week view in iCal.
Im a technical person but I still feel like I would be able to take advantage of the iCloud. I feel like they really show it off for people with multiple iOS devices.
I have a iMac at home but I'm not sure if I'll feel the full effect of using iCloud.
still feel like I wouldn't take advantage of iCloud *
The "cloud" is only truly advantageous if you have a multiple devices, work on multiple devices. Obviously, gadget bloggers think cloud stuff is the greatest thing since the Prometheus brought fire down from the clouds, but for the larger population of folks who have one computer and one satellite gadget, which has got to be the vast majority, not so much.
Cable sync will still be 10x faster and infinitely more energy efficient than wireless/cloud sync. But if you have multiple devices: a desktop, a laptop, an iPhone, an iPad, the cloud can be beneficial.
How does iOS5 run on 3GS?
anyone got the custom gestures to work ?
Can iPhone iCal send calendar/event invites to others from a non-.me.com iCloud acct?
Example: 2 people with calendars syncing to iCloud on non-.me.com (say iTunes accts with gmail addresses) accounts. Is there an option to send event invites to one another?
Alternatively, how does calendar sharing work?
It appears you can send an invite to anybody from a gmail iCloud account. Can't speak to the calendar sharing.
You can set custom vibration patters, ring and text tones for separate contacts. It says you can set a general custom vibration pattern in the sounds settings but I don't see it.
Found the setting for overall custom vibe patterns. Can create custom gestures, doesn't see any way to assign them to do anything.
Has anyone tried Mail, Pages etc with a bluetooth keyboard yet and if so is it better supported in iOS5?
Currently when using the keyboard it doesn't do auto contractions (dont to don't, hes to he's etc) and it also will not auto capitalise the beginning of a new sentence following a full stop.
A lot of shortcuts are also missing so can someone have a look around to see if there are any improvements here.
Did they fix the notification coming in while you are on the phone, i.e. new mail, alarm, text? So when you are talking on the phone it doesn't scare the 58it out of you.

A student from Waitsfield Elementary School took top honors in the 2007 Vermont Secretary of State's Poster Contest.
Emma McGeorge won first place in the kindergarten through grade two division of the Vermont Symbols Poster Contest, earning her a look at the original Vermont Constitution and a tour of the Vermont State House and Vermont Historical Society along with other winners.
Vermont Secretary of State Deb Markowitz served as tour guide for the May 17 trip.
Winners also participated in an awards ceremony in the State House cafeteria, where they received certificates and a $100 prize donated to each student's classroom to spend on civics education.
"It was very difficult to select winners from the many fine essays and creative posters we received," said Markowitz in a prepared statement. "This program is a great way to get youngsters thinking about their state and its history, while encouraging older students to examine the nature of self-governance and its importance in a free society."
Over 200 students participated in the contest by submitting posters or essays, according to the secretary of state's office.

House and Senate leaders drop income-tax overhaul for nowBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | May 14,2013
AP PHOTO Senate Pro Tem John Campbell, center, listens to discussion between Sen. Mark MacDonald, left, and Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, Monday in Montpelier.MONTPELIER A three-day standoff over tax policy ended Monday afternoon when leaders in the House and Senate blinked, dropping their bid to overhaul the income-tax code in the face of a veto threat from Gov. Peter Shumlin.
Confident as they are in the merits of their proposal, House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President John Campbell said now isnt the time for a high-profile showdown with their fellow Democrat in the governors office.
I would rather not take on the issue than go into a pit fight with the governor, Campbell said Monday. Its not the Vermont way. Its certainly not my way.
While the concession brings resolution to an issue that had threatened to extend the 2013 legislative session beyond todays planned adjournment, Smith said it in no way ends the debate over a proposal that would raise income taxes on richer Vermonters, and use the money to buy down the tax bills of the middle class.
We look forward to working with the governor to adopt a policy that lowers tax rates and is more fair and equitable, Smith said.
The fifth-year speaker said the House and Senate have reached agreement on a bill that would cap itemized deductions, and use money generated by those new caps to lower tax rates across the board. Smith said that the Legislature has simply decided to wait until next year the second half of the biennium to send the bill to the governors desk.
We actually havent withdrawn the proposal, Smith said.
Smith said the one-year deferral will give him and others time to make their case to Vermonters, and to the governor, before he and Campbell attempt to impose their will on Shumlin.
Shumlin in recent days had characterized the proposal as a poorly vetted idea that materialized in the waning days of the session. He said it also violated the no-new-taxes pledge to which he, Smith and Campbell agreed last week
Its clear to us that the policy, which we think is good policy, was going to be clouded by policy arguments its too late in the session, it breaks a deal, Smith said. And I dont think when you have good policy you should let process arguments get in the way of it.
Shumlin kept a lower profile in the Statehouse on Monday than he did last Friday, when he convened an ad hoc press conference to issue thinly veiled veto threats to Smith and Campbell. But Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding made the case on Shumlins behalf, telling reporters that the House and Senate plan would result in unintended consequences for middle-class Vermonters who use deductions to write off large medical bills.
Vermonters of all income levels can deduct everything from home mortgage interest payments to donations to nonprofits to reduce their tax bills.
Its about taking the time to thoroughly vet this out, to see if we can understand what the economic consequences might be, Spaulding said. What will the effect on the real estate market be? What will the effect on charitable be?
The procedural maneuver used by Smith and Campbell they will keep open the conference committee that authored the reform proposal until the Legislature reconvenes next January ensures a very public vetting process.
Smith said hes eager to let the public kick the tires on the proposal, which he touts as a tax cut for the more than 200,000 Vermonters who would see their tax bills reduced under the House plan. Unbound from the end-of-session pressures that have plagued the Legislatures late-session push for the reform in 2013, Smith said, the benefits wont be shrouded in a political fog.
I dont think that something that lowers tax rates, makes them more fair and more equitable should get caught up in an argument about process at the end of the session when you can do it (next) January and it has the same effect, Smith said.
Spaulding said the administration is open to hearing Smith and Campbell out.
We are totally, totally open and excited to work ... to lower rates for all Vermonters to make the system more fair and more equitable, Spaulding said.
Asked if that signaled support for the capping of deductions, Spaulding said its premature to commit to any particular approach.
We would rather not get into the specifics of what we would or would not support ...when were going to spend the next six months with the Legislature to think about the best way to do it, Spaulding said.
Asked whether he regrets walking the proposal out as far as he did, only to retract it at the last moment, Campbell said he does not.
Ive spent years on bills and seen them defeated and then finally been able to get them through, Campbell said. You have to take that knowing there will be another day.
The resolution of the tax dispute marked the second time in less than a week that Shumlin has emerged victorious from high-stakes negotiations with the Legislature. Last week, the House and Senate, at Shumlins urging, dropped their respective attempts to raise new revenues.
Anyone left questioning the Legislatures ability to check the executives power, Smith said, ought to review the record.
I would just ask you to go back and look at the budget that was proposed and the revenue package that was proposed by the governor, and ask whether what was proposed is reflected in what was finally passed, Smith said.
Smith was referring to proposals from Shumlin to reduce the earned income tax credit by $17 million, and to use the money to bolster child care subsidies for low-income parents. Lawmakers held firm in their opposition, dismissing the plan as a tax increase on the working class.
Lawmakers also rejected a proposal to generate $17 million next year by taxing break open tickets, and to use the money to support low-income heating assistance, home weatherization programs, and renewable energy subsidies.
The House and Senate rejected that plan as well. While lawmakers did appropriate $6 million for LIHEAP, investments in green energy and thermal efficiency will end up being a fraction of what Shumlin had sought.
The breaking of the jam over the tax issue immediately yielded progress on the major issues standing between lawmakers and an expeditious adjournment. Minutes after Smith and Campbell relented, the conference committee ironing out differences over the fiscal year 2014 spending plan shook hands on a $5.3 billion budget.
Budget writers in recent days raced to find the $10 million in reductions necessitated by last weeks decision not to raise new taxes. A $1.1 million reduction in efforts to reduce the Medicaid cost shift helped resolve the gap.

GSBHT Manager Jennifer Baggarly said the rain started coming down June 7 just as the crowd started coming in. The Daylily Dash had a couple of surprises of its own, as is told in a separate story in this week's edition (Sports, B1), but it was completed before the raindrops started falling in earnest.
Baggarly said Saturday's weather was wonderful with cloudy skies allowing a pleasant breeze to keep the temperatures comfortable for most of the day. She said preliminary numbers are very good with a substantial increase in the gate receipts. It is estimated that at least 3,000 attended the two-day event.
The manager's first thought was to thank all the sponsors and volunteers who helped make the Daylily Festival successful. The work is divided among GSBHT board members and committees and the result is a festival enjoyed by people throughout Middle Georgia.
The event offered plenty of food, arts and crafts booths, vendors, children's activities, a horseshoe tournament, and a new event, a corn hole tournament.

Obama, Petraeus soap opera weakening America
I fear for my country, and I do not use the term "fear" lightly.
I am actually afraid my country is in terrible danger. We are in danger from within and from forces outside our boundaries, both of which are receiving help from an administration that is the most dishonest I have known in my lifetime -- that includes the Nixon era.
Where to start?
We have a president who whispered to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, when he thought the microphones were off, "After the election I'll have more flexibility." Just what does that mean? I'll be able to disarm and make my country more vulnerable?
Barack Obama will cut our nukes to zero, will deplete our armed forces, will cut ships that the Navy needs to maintain command of the seas. There will be little or no money for research and development. That is barely touching the surface of how this president will weaken America.
Let's deal with our nation's generals and how the truth was hidden by the president of this country in order to be re-elected.
We know that the Attorney General Eric Holder knew about Gen. Petraeus last summer. Do you honestly believe that sycophant didn't tell the president that the married director of the CIA was having an affair with a married woman? Petraeus was not the head of Fish and Game, he was the director of the CIA, our foremost intelligence agency. Do even the most naive of you think that the Attorney General kept that information to himself for two months?
And what about another high-ranking command general sending hundreds of emails to a woman that was a friend of the Petraeus family? She was receiving threatening emails from the woman with whom Petraeus was having the affair. This was allegedly what started the FBI investigation. The soap opera goes on...
The attack on Benghazi falls into this soap opera as well. Who knew what to expect and when to expect it. Our embassy was under a concerted, organized terrorist attack. We heard how the attack was brought on by an anti-Islam internet film. We learned almost immediately that the president and his minions, with straight faces, were doing anything they could to distract us.
Did the president make a deal with Petraeus to wait until after the election before his resignation? Was Congress kept in the dark to protect the president election? Did the FBI hide it's knowledge from the public to keep Obama in the White House?
The answer to all of the above a resounding yes.
If you are among the three million Republicans who stayed home because Ron Paul wasn't the nominee, or who voted for the Libertarian candidate, be proud of yourselves. You may have cost your country its very life.

The Bachelor
Bachelor Canada Host Tyler Harcott Defends Whitney Lee: She's Not an Actor Playing a Character
Every party has a pooper, and Bachelor Canada Season 1 has found its villain in Calgary's Whitney Lee, a 24-year-old admin assistant almost universally hated by viewers and contestants alike. Whitney, who faces off with Bianka Kamber in Brad Smith's final two, has arguably dug her own vilified TV grave: she's admitted she's a bitch, threatened to punch camera guys, and shoved her way into Brad's hotel room. To put it nicely: she's a bit much.
In a recent interview with TVGuide Canada, host Tyler Harcott attempts to defend Whitney's antics — and the other girls' hatred. "Everybody wants to get their jab in on Whitney, [but] there's obviously something there that Brad really likes. There's a person there, too. She's not just an actor playing a character."
Whitney sounds a bit like Courtney Robertson, who won The Bachelor USA Season 16. What do you think: Is Brad going to choose Whitney or Bianka?

I'll admit to being a basket case the past two weeks when we first suspected my dh needed surgery for his knee. All the events that happened last time I was pregnant with a boy were happening again, just not to the same degree. I bawled my eyes out for a week and now I'm starting to taper off but then, pain.
I called my friend at the high risk ob area of the hospital and asked, what do you think about this pain I'm having. I don't want to freak out but I don't want to be stupid and ignore something. She suggested I go drink some to check for hydration and take some tylenol. Well, that worked for Monday night but Tuesday morning, OUCH! Lower back pain followed by pain in the groin and down my right inner thigh was enough to be more than annoying. I called the NP for my OB and talked to her about it. She said it didn't sound like preterm labor but more like a UTI. So I went to our family doc who also is an OB and had my urine tested. No UTI, trace protein and a few keytones showing I hadn't eaten yet that morning from being sick to my stomach. Wheeew .. I cried again in his office explaining how being a former widow, dh's surgery and having been through this before while pregnant just was getting to be too much to handle but I was still handling it without trying to lose all my marbles. He understood and recommended that I leave it up to God to handle because it would help me relax. All in all, the diagnosis for my pain was Braxton Hicks.

The accountancy profession needs a modern, relevant and up-to-date syllabus for it to thrive on the global stage, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) on the back of another improvement in its professional qualification, which develops and trains complete finance professionals.
A recent report from global recruiter Randstad warns that there is a potential for a future shortfall of finance professionals in London and the UK; as the global professional body for accountants, ACCA is aware of shortfalls elsewhere, such as in Indonesia where there is ample capacity for the profession to grow and thrive.
Catherine Edwards, director of qualifications at ACCA said: 'To meet this capacity challenge, it is important that the profession meets the changing needs of businesses and other organisations and not only the number of accountants required.
'Employers from the public and private sectors, in businesses large and small regularly tell us what they need from the finance function or the wider accountancy profession; their feedback helps ACCA and its partners develop complete finance professionals who know all aspects of the profession they want to enter.'
Since its beginnings in 1904, ACCA has developed a number of 'firsts' for the profession, most recently with the sponsorship of a massive online open course (MOOC) from FutureLearn, in partnership with the University of Exeter. It is the first professional accountancy body to sponsor a MOOC on the social learning platform, leading to professional recognition.
ACCA also recently enhanced the computer-based assessment for papers F1 – Accountant in Business; F2 – Management Accountant and F3 – Financial Accounting. New task-based questions enable students to tackle practical problems in a computer environment, and are also available for ACCA's Foundations Level exams, which are the stepping-stones onto the ACCA Qualification.
Catherine Edwards explains: 'Employers from the public and private sectors, in businesses large and small tell us that our range of qualifications meets their needs – but how we design, deliver and develop our qualifications is important, so that we produce accountants who know all aspects of the profession so they can deliver effectively in the workplace.
'Over the years, ACCA has introduced new and modern 'firsts' for a profession that depends on excellent education and training, that prepares people to work in any area of business life, whether that is management or financial accounting, in audit or as a tax expert.'
ACCA's firsts also include:
- Introduction of on demand computer-based exams as early as 1998
- Using IFRS in exams since 1996 in recognition of growing convergence of accounting standards
- Introducing variant exams for tax and law in 20 countries
- From 2007, placing ethics at the centre of the qualification with a separate ethics module
- Examining integrated reporting <IR> throughout the professional Level exams, from December 2014
Catherine Edwards concludes: 'ACCA is innovative – but we also ensure this innovation is based on feedback with employers, learning providers and other stakeholders; we work to ensure there is stability and comparability with our qualifications. The whole point of these innovations is to ensure that ACCA, its students and members remain ahead of the game, that they are prepared for the challenges ahead – and that we ensure there are enough accountants for business's needs on the global stage.'

After losing the resumption of a suspended game, the Charleston RiverDogs lost their road trip finale 5-0 to the Delmarva Shorebirds on Sunday at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in South Atlantic League action. Delmarva earned a 5-3 walk-off win in eight innings to complete a suspended game from Saturday's doubleheader before winning the finale.
Charleston has an 11-12 record this season as Delmarva improves to 12-11. The RiverDogs finished 3-4 in a seven-game road trip that included a series victory at Lakewood.
Sunday's action began with extra innings and a quick finish to a game that started on Saturday before being suspended due to weather. After the RiverDogs were scoreless in the top of the eighth, Delmarva extended the inning with Drew Dosch's two-out single followed by a walk-off home run from Conor Bierfeldt. Charleston pitchers had combined to retire 15 straight Shorebirds until the late pair of hits led to a 5-3 Delmarva victory.
Dylan Rheault was the winner of the contest. Rheault is a perfect 5-0 with Delmarva following a scoreless eighth inning. Stefan Lopez is now 1-1 after being charged with the loss for Charleston.
Delmarva made big plays in each half of the third inning while taking an early 1-0 lead in the series finale. Center fielder Josh Hart robbed Mikeson Oliberto of a possible go-ahead hit with a diving catch in the top of the third. In the home half of the inning, Gregory Lorenzo brought in Mike Yastrzemski on a single to put the Shorebirds in front.
The Shorebirds doubled the lead to 2-0 in the fourth. Charleston's Giovanny Gallegos had two outs and led the count against Hart when catcher's interference put Hart on first base and moved Bierfeldt to second. Bierfeldt scored after a Federico Castagnini single.
Delmarva added three more runs in the seventh inning. Castagnini gave the Shorebirds a 3-0 advantage when he scored on a single by Dosch. Kemp followed with a double that moved Lorenzo home for a four-run lead. Dosch came in on a wild pitch and brought the lead to 5-0.
Austin Urban held the RiverDogs scoreless over five innings as the Delmarva starter. His successor, Dennis Torres, allowed two runners to get into scoring position in the seventh, but he coaxed a fly out and kept the Shorebirds lead intact. David Richardson got out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. Bennett Perry closed the shutout after pitching in the ninth inning.
Urban claimed the win and is now 1-2 this season. Gallegos fell to 0-3 as he took the loss.
Coming up
After a league-wide off day on Monday, the Charleston RiverDogs will open a seven-game homestand against the Augusta GreenJackets at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday evening. RiverDogs RHP Brady Lail (2-1, 5.49 ERA) is scheduled to pitch against GreenJackets RHP Chase Johnson (1-1, 2.08 ERA).

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Gypsy Kid's Western Boots:
My little girl really wanted to wear them but they are way too big even though we ordered smaller than her sneaker size to begin with. Try buying some in store first. The shaft is not suede as stated, but instead it is a man made material that I question the durability of.
- Sizing:
- Feels full size too big
- Width:
- Feels true to width
- Was this a gift?:
- No

Over at the Interchange Project Jeremy and I discuss the whole Jim Romenesko/Poynter affair and much more this week.
We think both Romesnko and Poynter were in the right and wrong here. It's complicated. We wish things would have ended better.
Our discussion of Romenesko leads Jeremy to discuss how he handles miss attribution and plagiarism with his students.
We then discuss the top 40 most shared stories on Facebook in 2011. Some very interesting finds. And then we have a few more topics to go over.
It's a good show. I promise.

Arizona towns get ready for New Year's Eve
PHOENIX -- As usual, the ball will drop in New York's Time Square on New Year's Eve.
Not to be left out, there will be drops in Arizona as well.
Back in 2000, the owners of Flagstaff's Weatherford Hotel decided to mark the hotel's 100th anniversary by starting a New Year's Eve tradition.
"Thinking of New York City and the Times Square ball, since we live in a Ponderosa Pine forest we came up with the Pine Cone drop," said hotel co-owner Sam Green. "It's become a tradition ever since."
The giant lighted pine cone will drop from atop the hotel again Monday night.
"We have two drops, at 10 o'clock and midnight," Green said. "The 10 o'clock is to commemorate the East Coast celebration, and it's also great for the kids because they can come out early. Fireworks go off in the downtown area after the midnight Pine Cone drop. It's a pretty big party."
Green said the city estimated 10,000 people showed up last New Year's Eve.
There are other drops in Arizona.
In Prescott, a boot drops from the Crystal Saloon on Whiskey Row at 10 p.m. and midnight, with the midnight drop followed by fireworks.
In Show Low, a 6-foot-tall electronic deuce of clubs card drops right in the middle of Deuce of Clubs road. Spectators also have a chance to win a $2 bill by drawing the deuce of clubs in a card game.

Our childrens toys at Barley Sugar are a far cry from the normal children's toys you find on the high street. We like to think of our Eastbourne toy shop as a magical place that children love and adults love just as much. Many of our toys are educational and very traditional and most rely on some kind of role-play to stimulate the children's minds and take them into a magical world that every child adores. From Melissa & Doug to Manhattan Toys, our toys and games are all made with integrity and imagination and are perfect for children and babies of all ages.
