LOWVILLE Lewis County likely will reimburse the village Police Department for mental health transports to Watertown, although details still must be worked out.
We want to get some mutual agreement, Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, said during a legislative Mental Hygiene Committee meeting Tuesday morning attended by a majority of lawmakers.
Mr. Stanford, the committee chairman, said county officials were taken aback when they recently received a nearly $1,000 bill from the village intended to cover the transport of area residents to Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, for mental health evaluations over the past four months.
It caught us off-guard because wed never seen it before, he said.
Lowville Police Chief Eric F. Fredenburg, who was invited to the meeting to discuss the bill, said his department handles a couple dozen transports per year, and they sometimes require him to pay officers overtime or call in additional help to maintain adequate coverage.
It does become a burden, he said.
Chief Fredenburg said he has a verbal agreement with the sheriff that the county department will handle transport of non-village residents, when possible, and state police also conduct some when called.
However, when deputies are tied up elsewhere, village police wind up handling the transports, regardless of where the individuals live, he said.
While the village has covered such expenses in the past, Chief Fredenburg said he had discussed the matter with the villages attorney and was under the impression that state law would provide for county reimbursement of that expense, hence submission of the bill.
Sarah J. Bullock, the countys acting director of community services, said there apparently is no such requirement, but that doesnt mean we cant work out some agreement.
Unlike most counties, Lewis County does not have an approved psychiatric center, requiring out-of-county transports, Mrs. Bullock said.
And legislators appeared sympathetic to Chief Fredenburgs situation, given that a majority of mental health transports originate from sites within the village such as the mental health clinic and Lewis County General Hospital.
Theyre being punished for where we are, said Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville.
Theyre carrying that heavy load here, added Legislator William J. Burke, R-West Lowville.
Mr. Stanford said that he would like to help cover the villages expense but also would like to have a better handle on the expected cost for budgeting purposes.
Some lawmakers floated the idea of a flat rate of $115 per trip, essentially the amount that Chief Fredenburg figured into his bill.
Committee members will further discuss the matter, with the intent of coming up with a solution next month, Mr. Stanford said.

Birmingham-- Each week, Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen sits down with WBHM's Tanya Ott for an interview on education in Alabama. These regular chats span topics as wide-ranging as the education beat itself. Weapons on campus, creationism in public schools ... nothing is off limits. Now, in addition to all Dan's work, all the Carsen-Ott interviews are available in the same place, right here:
| 2014-07-01 -- WBHM's news team is hard at work each day, bringing you in-depth radio stories you won't hear anywhere else. In this program, we showcase some of the best work from WBHM over the past year, and each reporter gives a behind-the-scenes look into their reporting process.
| 2014-06-19 -- On Tuesday, June 17, WBHM hosted an Issues and Ales panel discussion focusing on the Alabama prison system. Over three panels, speakers covered the system's current problems with overcrowding, along with how to best rehabilitate offenders and what Alabama could do to improve the prison system. Panelists included Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner Kim Thomas, State Senator Cam Ward, former inmates, and people who provide services to ex-offenders. WBHM's education reporter Dan Carsen and news director Rachel Osier Lindley moderated the discussion. They sat down after the event to discuss some of the highlights. The event was hosted in collaboration with the Alabama Media Group.
| 2012-12-21 -- As we reported yesterday, about 17 million kids in the U.S. are in danger of malnutrition, which can trigger behavior problems and stunt brain development. Given the scope of the problem, the importance of subsidized school meals becomes clear ... but what happens to needy kids from Friday night through Monday morning? In his second story on student hunger, our Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen looks at one solution in Shelby County.
| 2012-11-30 -- Sometimes, poorly run disadvantaged schools defy the statistics and turn themselves around. Sometimes, they even achieve at a level so high they become national models for education in any neighborhood. In the conclusion of our series on "Turnaround Schools," Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen picks up the story of an elementary school that did just that. How did it happen? It wasnât easy, but persistence, teamwork, and a belief in the students is winning out.
| 2012-11-29 -- Imagine a school in a poor, crime-ridden neighborhood. It has discipline problems, a dismal reputation, and some of the worst test scores in Alabama. That was Mobile's George Hall Elementary in 2004. Now imagine an award-winning school known around the country for its innovative teaching and high student performance. That's George Hall Elementary now. So how'd it happen? In Part Four of our five-part series on "Turnaround Schools," WBHM's Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen takes us there to find out.
| 2012-10-09 -- The School Superintendents of Alabama is set to announce today the Superintendent of the Year, and embattled Birmingham schools chief Craig Witherspoon is among the nine people up for the honor. Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen tells Tanya Ott about that and a grade-changing scandal in Montgomery.
| 2012-07-10 -- We've had a short break from Birmingham Board of Education fireworks, but that doesn't mean that story or the Alabama education beat has slowed down at all. In this week's Edu-Chat, WBHM's Tanya Ott inverviews Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen on No Child Left Behind, the Education Trust Fund, local kids in China, and "meatless meetings."
| 2012-06-19 -- Clearly, just because school is out doesn't mean the education beat is slowing down. The question on many people's minds is, what's going on with Birmingham City Schools and the state? WBHM's Tanya Ott interviews Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen on that, tuition increases, "digital districts," and a grant meant to make cancer treatment more cost effective.
| 2012-06-12 -- A lot has been happening on the Alabama education beat since our last chat with Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen, but one story continues to dominate and make national news: the Birmingham School Board. A slim majority recently rejected a state cost-cutting proposal, but ironically, that defiant move could result in the board losing what little autonomy it has left. WBHM's Tanya Ott interviews Carsen on that subject and more.
| 2012-05-08 -- It's the final week of the legislative session and that means Alabama lawmakers are scrambling to pass several bills. One of them would tweak the immigration law by preventing school officials from asking students about their parent's immigration status. Still, the Justice Department is concerned about effects on Latino children. And that's just a little of what's happening on the education beat. Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen tells WBHM's Tanya Ott about that and more in this week's interview.
| 2012-04-17 -- Thereâs a lot happening on the education beat. The problems on the Birmingham Board of Education have risen to the level of national news, and educators worried about everything from charter schools to budget cuts are raising their concerns, loudly. Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen talks with WBHM's Tanya Ott about all this and more, starting with the big story: the drama surrounding the Birmingham Board of Education and the superintendent whom five of them tried to fire.
| 2012-04-10 -- These are interesting times for Birmingham City Schools. Standardized testing is underway just as thereâs a standoff over the future of superintendent Craig Witherspoon. The Board of Education could vote this afternoon to terminate his contract. Check the station website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed for the latest developments. Thereâs been some drama on the state and national levels too, with a congressional committee looking into the Alabama Education Association. WBHMâs Tanya Ott interviews reporter Dan Carsen on that and more in this weekâs education chat.
| 2012-04-03 -- Carsen & Ott Talk Explosions and Explosive Issues Several Alabama school communities are reeling after incidents last week shook things up. E.P.I.C. Elementary School in Birmingham had to be evacuated Friday after a propane tank exploded. No one was hurt, but down in Mobile County, a teacher was taken to the hospital after an incident with a student. Nice, tame topics like charter-school propaganda, same-sex prom dates, and Louis Farrakhan round out this week's interview, which ends on a positive note.
| 2012-03-27 -- Is the state legislature pitting business incentives against school funding? And why are some Republicans balking at the charter school bill? At least a situation that's literally toxic -- the mercury spill at Putnam Middle in Birmingham -- has been cleaned up.
| 2012-03-13 -- This week's chat touches on the positive, the negative, and the in-between, or at least the in the eye of the beholder: politics once again makes an appearance.
| 2012-03-06 -- Severe thunderstorms, hail, and multiple tornadoes raked Alabama last week. Were any schools hit? And are there figurative storms on the horizon for the state's Education Trust Fund? In this fifth installment of a weekly series, WBHM's Tanya Ott starts the interview by asking about storm damage and an incredible recovery. The education budget may not be so lucky.
| 2012-02-28 -- Alabama legislators have their hands full with a variety of education bills at various stages of development, including ones that would authorize charter schools and offer credit for creationism classes for public high-schoolers. But for this weekâs chat with Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen, we move outside of Montgomery for some interesting education news. Carsen tells WBHMâs Tanya Ott that some of it is positive, some of it not â beginning right here in Birmingham.
| 2012-02-21 -- When it comes to education in Alabama, it's safe to say there's enough going on to keep a journalist busy. In our third installment of a new weekly series, Southern Education Desk reporter Dan Carsen sits down with WBHM News Director Tanya Ott to break down some of it. The interview starts with a recap of recent reports on religion in public schools.
| 2012-02-14 -- Itâs week two of the 2012 legislative session in Alabama and job creation and budget shortfalls continue to take center stage. Officials predict a budget gap in the many hundreds of millions of dollars â meaning cutbacks, possible layoffs, and other belt-tightening measures. WBHMâs Dan Carsen of the Southern Education Desk tells Tanya Ott that the budget crisis in non-education departments could pit the Education Trust Fund against everything else.
| 2012-02-07 -- When lawmakers returned to Montgomery for the beginning of the 2012 legislative session, they had a lot of meaty issues to deal with, from tweaks to the state's immigration law to a potential $400 million budget shortfall. They're also tackling several education reform initiatives, and as the Southern Education Desk's Dan Carsen told WBHM's Tanya Ott, this year looks to be a lot like last year, with plenty of controversial issues on the table.

Volunteer Assistant Coach Sarah Martin
Entering her 13th season on the Dartmouth sideline, Sarah Martin will serve as the Big Green's volunteer assistant coach. Martin has been an integral part of the Big Green's success since joining the staff as an assistant coach in 1999 and was promoted to Dartmouth's associate head coach in November, 2002. As a volunteer assistant, Martin will continue to work closely with the team, especially the defense.
Since coming to Hanover, Martin has helped Dartmouth win six Ivy League championships and make eight NCAA Tournament appearances. During her time, she has helped develop 25 first team All-Ivy athletes recognized 39 times. Dartmouth has had 10 first team All-America honorees in that time as well. With Martin's influence, Dartmouth's defense has ranked in the top-10 nationally in scoring defense seven times since 2002, including leading the nation in that category in 2006.
In 2011, Dartmouth returned to the national spotlight, winning the Ivy League Championship and earning an NCAA Tournament bid, ranking as high as 10th in the nation and snapping Maryland's 28-game winning streak. Under Martin's watchful eye, the Big Green's defense finished the season ranked seventh nationally, allowing a scoring average of just 8.44 goals per game. Senior defender Shannie MacKenzie '11 earned her second-straight first team All-Ivy honor and was named an IWLCA All-America (second team) after picking up first team all-region honors.
Martin's primary assignments are working with the Dartmouth defense and recruiting, including targeting prospects and player assessment. Martin has played a critical role in putting together some of the finest recruiting classes in the nation during the past several seasons. She has helped the program nationalize its recruiting base, with players from as far West as Colorado and South to hotbeds Virginia and Maryland. However, Martin and Patton have recognized the talent that lies in their own backyard, tapping into New England's finest high school and club programs for a core group of talented, tough-minded players. The Class of 2013 hailed entirely from New England, with four of its members among the New England Lacrosse Journal's top-10 in the region.
Amongst the freshman through junior classes, as of 2010, Dartmouth has 14 US Lacrosse High School All-Americans in its ranks, including 11 first-team honorees.
With Martin overseeing the defensive end, the Big Green is perenially one of the nation's and Ivy League's top defensive teams. Colleen Olsen '10 blossomed into one of the top defenders in the nation under Martin's tutelage and was named to the US National Developmental Team in 2009. In 2010, Dartmouth's defense was tremendous, finishing the season ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense with just 7.97 goals allowed per game. Dartmouth led the nation at points during the season in that category and also ranked highly in caused turnovers and ground balls.
Prior to her arrival at Dartmouth, Marin spent eight years at Middlebury — four of them as a player and four as an assistant coach. From 1995-99, Martin worked as an assistant coach with the Panther women's lacrosse, field hockey and women's basketball programs. During that time, Middlebury won two NCAA Division III national lacrosse championships (1997, 1999) and advanced to the semifinal round two other times (1996, 1998). In field hockey, the Panthers won the 1998 NCAA Division III national title after capturing the ECAC Division III championship in 1997. Finally, the basketball team won the ECAC Division III championship in 1997, sandwiching that title between a pair of NCAA Division III tournament appearances.
Martin played all three sports at Middlebury from 1992-95, captaining every one of them and earning the school's Bayard A. Russ Award as the outstanding female athlete. In lacrosse, she was an All-America and earned team MVP honors for Middlebury's NCAA Division III semifinalist as a senior.
Player Views
"Sarah Martin has helped me grow as a player in ways I never would have imagined, completely transforming my game. It amazes me to think of how much I've learned so far. Sarah has such tremendous knowledge of the intricacies of playing defense and I love how she takes care to pull you aside to give you detailed, precise feedback on what you're doing.
"First and foremost, Sarah is a very cool woman. Besides the fact that her style puts us to shame, she just loves life and her passion is infectious. As a coach she is very patient, a quality that I remember distinctly from my freshman year as I struggled to grasp the concepts of Division I defense. She is patient but equally demanding. She makes you want to get better and want to go harder. Sarah has found a great balance between friend and coach and has won our love and respect." - Michelle Shortsleeve '07

No wonder Fiat launched a special limited edition Lupin Fiat 500 in 2008. That's easy to get your head around! This? Less so.
Suzuki is launching a limited edition Swift dedicated to everybody's favorite crook. The car, which will be sold in Italy, comes in either a 4-cylinder, 1.2-liter engine or a 1.3-liter turbo diesel.
But Lupin has nothing to do with the Suzuki Swift! He's simply tacked on to sell this car. There's nothing special about this special edition.
The car also has a ten-year insurance policy to protect against theft, robbery, and fire. That all sounds rather sensible for something the world's greatest thief to stick his name on.

Dr. Tullis has restored my ability to walk comfortably without pain by performing surgery on both of my feet over the past two years. I have been told he is the "go to" Podiatry physician and I am grateful my primary care doctor referred me to him. He has restored a great deal of quality to my life, for which I will always be greatful. Based upon my experience, I don't know how anybody could expect, or get more, from another physician. I recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Tulis saved my husband's foot and got us through a very hard time, 2 weeks in the hospital and 3 operations on my husband's foot.

Great wonderful doctor. For years, I have been dealing with the same issue. My left ankle constantly was giving me problems and I was constantly have a sprain. After seeing him the very first visit, he refered me for an MRI, which showed a serious underlying condition. Immediately he is scheduling surgery for me. I could have had to live with this pain and chronic injury if it was not for him and his expertise!

Dr. Tullis was exceptional at treating my injury, I had broken my ankle playing basketball and was referred to him by my primary. At the time my parents wanted to treat my ankle as soon as possible but Dr. Tullis was not available for a number of days so we went to another doctor named Dr. Endo. Do not got to him at all i could have sited him for non practice he didn't know how to operate the xray computer system when we were there, and he said that you couldn't blow up the pictures at all which was false. He gave me an ankle brace and told me to come back in a month. Both my father and i were not satisfied at all and very concerned. We decided to wait for the appointment with Dr. Tulis, under his treatment he knew how to operate the software and found out that i had an avulsion fracture. He put me in a cast and set up a recovery program for me. I never had to have surgery and i have healed perfectly. Please do not go to Dr. Endo you will regret it.

Violence in Human Society - 8th Dialogue on Science, 14 – 16 October, 2009, Academia Engelberg Foundation
Our views of what violence is are distorted because of the traditional approach to violence as a phenomenon in everyday life. The use and threat of physical and emotional violence against individuals or groups include the use of sheer force as well as the powers of self-assertion in relations of power and control. In a broader sense, violence can be found in all social classes around the world.
Violence affects all of us in one way or another. A lot of people seek shelter and security behind closed doors and shuttered windows and avoid dangerous places. Others do not have means to escape. The danger of violence, however, is also behind doors, hidden from the public. The lives of those who live in the middle of wars and conflicts are marked by violence. According to a report carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the year 2003, 1.6 million people lose their life due to violence every year. An unknown number of people are negatively affected by violence in a way that is not always noticeable.
Causes of violence
The causes and justifications of violence are manifold. Social circumstances such as financial situation, level of socialization and cultural context play an important role. Human beings are also characterized by their biographical integration and their subjective perception of different situations when dealing, for example, with peer pressure, frustration and aggression. The influence of the media must not be underestimated. Especially interactive media such as internet, computer games, movies and television often convey a wrong idea concerning role models.
Development of possible solutions
The 8th Dialogue on Science in October 2009 had the aim to discover more about the different aspects of this type of threat.
See the full video on www.academia-engelberg.org
Academia Engelberg Foundation
The Academia Engelberg Foundation was created on 27 September 01 and is domiciled in the Monastery Engelberg in Switzerland.
Academia Engelberg wants to build bridges in order to make an important contribution to the sustainable dialogue on basic values of society in scientific, technological, ecological and societal processes of change that are related with them.
Academia Engelberg activities are interdisciplinary and bring together participants from different nations, cultures and religions.
Special emphasis is placed on the contact between generations (intergenerational platform) and genders. Top representatives from science meet current and future leaders from politics, economy, culture and society (international and intercultural platform) with the aim of sharing their ideas, deepening their mutual understanding and developing claims and projects.

As the emerald ash borer that shiny green stowaway from across the planet chews its way across the country and ever closer to Jefferson County, experts are looking not just to contain the invasion but to eradicate the pest if possible.
To that end, a recent Cornell University study has given scientists some hope that the Asian wood-boring beetle, which previously had no natural predators in this part of the world, may have finally met its match in the form of two North American insect-eating bird species.
The study found evidence that populations of red-bellied woodpeckers and white-breasted nuthatches have been increasing in areas where emerald ash borers have invaded, leading scientists to believe that these species are feeding upon the beetle, eliminating it from the environment.
The birds join a team of stingless parasitoid wasps from China and Russia that are being bred in massive quantities through a U.S. Department of Agriculture-funded program in Brighton, Mich., according to Mark C. Whitmore, a forest entomologist in Cornells Department of Natural Resources.
The wasps lay their eggs in the beetle and the young consume the host, swiftly killing it.
A combination of the use of predators known as biological control and trying to find an ash tree variant that is resistant to the pest are the best hopes of stopping the emerald ash borer in its tracks, Mr. Whitmore said.
In July, the beetle was found in the town of DeWitt in Onondaga County.
Mr. Whitmore said there is a 100 percent chance that the emerald ash borer eventually will make its way to Jefferson County.
As the fight goes on, one of the more cost-effective measures to prevent the spread of the pest is simply to remove the trees a process that still is relatively expensive but costs less than treating the trees with insecticide, a precaution that must be repeated every year.
The cost of removing trees killed by the emerald ash borer could rise into the billions of dollars, Mr. Whitmore said, especially considering the estimated 160,000 miles of electric power lines in New York state that are in danger of being damaged by falling trees.
There are more than 200 trees per mile around the power lines and 20 percent of those are ash trees, Mr. Whitmore said. It costs approximately $350 to remove a tree, according to Mr. Whitmore.
Though the possibility of having a pair of new allies in the fight has given scientists some hope, the likelihood that the beetle will be beaten back is still remote. In the face of that prospect, Mr. Whitmore said, residents and municipalities need to prepare for the worst.
Its going to cost a lot of money and everybodys going to be affected. People need to start planning, he said.

By Eric Brandner
Margaux Mange has climbed a mountain and leaped out of airplanes. So it may be surprising to hear about the one thing she feels could give her trouble on her upcoming expedition to the South Pole.
She's concerned about the mittens.
"The only thing that as Americans we're going to have to get used to is mittens," she said. "We're so used to five-fingered gloves. ... You can't grasp [things]."
Mange is one of the four wounded, ill and injured American troops who comprise Team USA in the Walking With The Wounded 2013 South Pole Allied Challenge. The USO is sponsoring Mange's entry as part of its Warrior and Family Care initiative.
The mittens situation could be a problem when the temperature is far below freezing and she needs to pitch a tent.
"We were fine [removing our mittens] in Iceland, but in the South Pole, we're probably going to get frostbite," she said, laughing.
Team USA will face off with Team U.K. and Team Commonwealth (comprised of recovering troops from Canada and Australia) in a 16-day, 208-mile race through the South Pole. The teams held March practice drills in Iceland and will gather for final snow training in October before flying to Antarctica in November for the race.
Mange – a medically retired military police sergeant who turns 28 next week – lives with a constant, complex headache caused by a December 2006 roadside bombing in Iraq. It took her three years to come to terms with the unceasing headaches, which she describes as a six out of 10 on the pain scale on her best days. Along with suffering a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress, Mange also lives with two rare nerve-related injuries – trigeminal and occipital neuralgia – which she describes as "constant, 24/7, softball-being-shoved-in-the-back-of-my-head pain."
Brain surgery was unsuccessful and while hyperbaric oxygen treatment had a positive effect, it did not relieve the pain as much as Mange or her doctors hoped. Today, she gets by on migraine medication, quarterly Botox shots and a remarkably positive attitude.
"It took me three years to accept it and say 'there's no getting over this, so deal with it,'" she said.
Dealing with it meant getting back to her outdoor roots. Mange grew up in the snow of Lakewood, Colo., skiing and snowboarding when she saved up enough money for a lift ticket. In the warmer months, she played soccer well enough to attract college scholarship offers. But when she learned she'd have to sit out her freshman year as a redshirt, she took an unexpected turn to military service.
"It was a last-minute decision," she said. "I learned that I was going to get redshirted. You tell an 18-year-old that they can't play for a year and that's like the end of the life.
"The Army had the All-Army Women's Soccer team, which could lead to the Olympics, and I was like 'sign me up.'"
Mange joined the Army in August 2003 and was on her second tour in Iraq when her vehicle hit an improvised explosive device while she was riding in the gunner's turret. Convinced she was only suffering from a concussion, Mange continued to go out on convoys until March 3, 2006, when she witnessed another IED blast kill her best friend, Army Sgt. Ashly Lynn Moyer, and two others. Mange developed Bell's palsy after the blast – a condition she's since overcome – and was sent to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany for further evaluation.
Medically retired in late 2008, Mange adopted a therapy dog – a husky named Mush – to help her get through newly intimidating social situations. As she slowly grew to accept her injury, she became involved in sports again, including cycling tours with USO partner Ride 2 Recovery.
"I love Ride 2 Recovery. They've given me a new passion," she said. "I was so afraid to ride a bike because I thought it was going to hurt my neck – and it does. I fall a lot. I actually ended up in the hospital with a concussion. But it's OK. I don't care because I'm having fun and it's getting me away from my depression. It's fun and it's worth it."
Mange recently moved to Yuma, Ariz., where she's training for her third Warrior Games, scheduled for May 11-16 in Colorado Springs, Colo. She plans to represent the Army in the women's' 100-, 200- and 1,500-meter races in track and the women's' 10K cycling event.
But the highlight of the year may come in November, when she heads to the South Pole for the Walking With The Wounded adventure.
"It's still unbelievable to me that I'm going to be going where so [few] people have had the chance to go," said Mange, who participated in last year's Soldiers to Summit's trek up Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador. "I've always done adventure-type things. I've always done skydiving and bungee jumping. This is a perfect fit for me."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Talks seeking a deal to avert the fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax hikes will get under way at the White House next week after President Barack Obama Friday asked bipartisan congressional leaders to meet with him on the issue.
"The American people voted for action, not politics as usual. And in that spirit, I have invited leaders of both parties to the White House next week so we can start to build consensus around the challenges that we can only solve together," Obama said in a statement at the White House.
This was Obama's first policy statement since he won a second four-year term.
President Obama said he would also invite business and labor leaders to come and discuss the question of how to get a handle on the $1 trillion deficit. The talks with congressional leaders will take place on Nov. 16.
When Congress could not reach a broad deficit deal last year, lawmakers instead set up a deadline for January when spending cuts would kick in and existing tax cuts expire. Economists now warn that this steep austerity package would throw the economy back into recession.
Obama held out an olive branch to Republicans, saying he would listen to their proposals.
"I am not wedded to every detail of my plan. I am open to compromise. I am open to new ideas," he said.
Obama added he was open to reform of the Medicare and Medicaid entitlement programs. Many Democrats oppose significant changes to these programs.
Obama, Boehner on fiscal cliff
House Speaker John Boehner says that the nation can reduce the deficit without raising taxes, while President Obama says he won't tolerate a plan without tax increases.
But Obama said he would "refuse to accept any approach" that did not contain a larger tax burden on the wealthy.
"I am not going ask students and seniors and middle-class families to pay down the entire deficit while people...making over $250,000 are not asked to pay a dime more in taxes," he said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney later underlined the point, saying explicitly that Obama would veto any bill that extends the Bush-era tax cuts for the top 2% of wage earners.
"We can't afford it," Carney said.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Earlier in the day, House Speaker John Boehner also talked compromise while digging in against any hike in tax rates.

With Regards To Lighting Our Homes… LED Could Be The Very Best Answer in the United Kingdom
In relation to the conservation of electricity this is not just something which is good for the planet but for your wallet as well. Now, with regards to saving electricity there is not just one thing you should do but multiple different things to be able to have the best effect for our world. Using high efficiency light bulbs will be one of the best ways you are able to actually start saving energy and cash within your home. Read more about LED lighting at www.deslamps.co.uk.
One of these new energy efficient bulbs is the LED and light bulb and in this post we're going to be discussing some of the many benefits it can have on both our planet and your pocketbook.
You will find that LED actually stands for Light Emitting Diode which is something which many folks are probably not aware of. There's no doubt that you've already heard of LED lights as this is a new technology that plenty of manufacturers are putting in to Christmas tree lighting. There have already been men and women who were able to save a lot of cash during the holiday season by using these lighting strings mainly because they use so significantly less electricity. For people that are not using this kind of lighting yet for your Christmas decorations you may find that this will be a good way to lower your electricity costs during the holiday season.
Obviously you ought to also be aware that they're also now putting this technology into regular light bulbs to help men and women save money all year long. Something I ought to mention about these light bulbs would be the fact that they're able to be used for pennies on the dollar compared to a traditional light bulb. To clarify this a little bit better if a light bulb uses $1.00 to run it for a specific amount of time, an LED bulb could be run for the same amount of time for just pennies. This is of course just for one light bulb, you will need to multiplied this by every light in your home in order to understand just how much you can actually save. See what the UK government said about LED lighting here.
One thing I ought to mention about these new light bulbs is that they are far more expensive than a traditional light bulb, but the energy savings will end up paying for this bulb in the end. I ought to also point out that these light bulbs will wind up lasting much longer than a traditional light bulb due to the way that they're manufactured. To explain you how long this bulb can in fact last, it could run 24 hours each day for 10 years total before it might have to be replaced at that point. This additionally means that under normal use, it's very plausible that you could get 50 years of life out of one of these light bulbs.
If you haven't yet begun making use of this type of lighting for your home, now is a good time to start, not mainly because of the cash you are able to save but because it can help our planet.

PAWTUCKET — After her squad had sealed a satisfying 2-1 victory over Masters Regional Academy of Smithfield, Shea High head coach Danielle Bishop spent perhaps 10 minutes with her girls addressing their collective strengths and weaknesses.
Conditioning certainly wasn't an issue in the Raiders' Division 3-B opener at Max Read Field on Wednesday afternoon. Now she's hoping the collective mind-set for a long season will follow suit.
"We showed some athleticism out there," Bishop stated. "I think this is the best shape we've ever been in as a team. I have to give all of the credit to our captains (senior midfielders Kathleen Gomes and Jessica Caetano). They held some Captains' practices over the summer, and they told me they were doing a lot of running.
"I saw that conditioning here (Wednesday)," she added.
A year ago, Bishop's bunch qualified for the playoffs but dropped a preliminary-match decision to archrival Tolman, which later suffered the same fate to state D-3 champion Middletown in the finals last November. When asked if her Raiders could contend for another post-season berth, Bishop grinned, "I don't know how we're going to do, but we're off to a good start."
Senior Dilma Goncalves and Gomes each recorded goals for the hosts, while freshman goalie Jackie Goncalves made a superb debut with four saves. As for the stellar (and, just once, over-aggressive) defense, sophomores Liliana Delacruz and Monica Vieira, junior Karla Argueta, Gomes and Dilma Goncalves paved the way to the triumph.
For the Warriors (0-1), junior Sharon Granata tallied the lone goal, while classmate and goalie Kieran McInnis stopped 12 Shea shots.
Midway through the initial session, Dilma Goncalves ripped a corner kick at the box, though McInnis responded with a scoop save. The latter wasn't as fortunate later, when Goncalves whacked home a feed from senior midfielder Anete Encarnacao at the 25-minute mark.
It looked as if Masters might tie it up with about eight minutes left before intermission when Granata raced down the left side on a breakaway and drilled a 22-yard left-footer at the netminder Goncalves, but it caromed off the crossbar.
Granata also had an opportunity to knot it with approximately four minutes left when officials called for a free kick from 12 yards out. The attempt cleared the Raiders' "wall" of four defenders, but Goncalves dove for a most impressive save.
Shea didn't need long to push its lead to two. Perhaps three minutes into the final stanza, Dilma Goncalves scorched a liner from the deep right side; the shot trickled through the crease, and McInnis pounced on it for another save.
About two minutes later, however, officials called for a Gomes' right-side free kick from 30 yards out. As luck would have it, a defender headed the try, and it flew over McInnis' outstretched arms and under the crossbar to make it 2-0.
At the midway mark of the second half, Gomes delivered a hard liner from the right corner at the Masters keeper, but she smothered it.
The Raiders actually seemed to give themselves a 3-0 cushion when Dilma Goncalves drove in an initial save from McInnis, though the referees whistled a goalie-interference infraction on the play.
Masters didn't get on the board until the 78th minute. That's when officials issued Vieira a yellow card for midconduct (they alleged Vieira hauled down Granata on a partial breakaway) and awarded a penalty kick.
The goalie Goncalves stopped Granata's hard grounder, but it trickled off her foot and slipped into the netting to slice the Warriors' gap to one.
Courtesy of outstanding defense from Dilma Goncalves, Gomes and Delacruz, Shea thwarted the rejuvenated Masters' offense over the final two minutes.
"I was really pleased with how the kids played together; just the fact they played in synch, despite never playing as a unit before," Bishop noted. "A lot of my girls had to play different positions, those they're not used to, but they were able to adapt.
"Our freshman, Jackie Goncalves, I thought she did a great job in net for someone who had never played soccer before," she added. "She almost pitched a shutout. I know she was pretty nervous, but it really didn't show.
"Our passing was pretty good, but we've got to do more work on staying in position; the girls need to know they have to play their areas (of assignment) … We haven't played any scrimmages, except for those amongst ourselves. Honestly, for the first time (playing) together, I'm pretty happy. I hope it continues."

World Cup
On Friday, December 6, we'll all gather at Fado's for the club's "Bracket Brunch" with great hopes and prizes on the line for the FIFA World Cup draw.
There's plenty to get you started on your "Drawology" now, with the below graphic representing the suspected four pots that FIFA representatives (or perhaps Brazilian celebrities) will use to determine the eight groups for the tournament.
What you should know…
It should be noted that the only confirmed pot are the seeded teams in Pot #1, which features the hosts Brazil and the next seven best teams according to October's FIFA Ranking.
For the second straight World Cup, FIFA has somewhat controversially gone by October's FIFA rankings to determine seeds, rather than the previous formula which factored in both FIFA rankings along with nation's finishes at the previous two or three tournaments.
The change wasn't felt quite as heavily for the 2010 World Cup as traditional powers like Italy, The Netherlands and England all remained seeds. Those countries have been upended this time around in Pot #1 by the likes of Switzerland, Colombia and Belgium.
- The mix of CONCACAF/AFC (Pot #2) seems likely as both confederations have four teams each to make a round group of eight.
The only real question seems to be around which European team would join the mixed CAF (5 teams)/CONMEBOL (2 teams) in Pot #3 . If FIFA continues to go by their ranking procedure, France would be the lowest ranking European team, which could very well push them into the mixed pot, though this is unconfirmed and might not be known until the week of the draw.
Draw Makeup: Only nations from UEFA can be grouped with each other but only two per group and you obviously can't be draw against countries in your own pot, so U.S. dreams of getting another crack at Iran (wither 1998) will have to wait.
- DOWNLOAD our tournament bracket (PDF) and begin conducting your mock draws now! The Fire's "Bracket Brunch" is just two weeks away!
So there it is… On what we know (and suspect), what's the best case scenario for your nation of interest? What's the worst?
It's the end of the road for the U.S. Men's National Team in 2013...
Qualified for next summer's FIFA World Cup for two months, Jurgen Klinsmann will take a last look at his side with a pair of European friendlies beginning this afternoon at Scotland (LIVE 2pm CT on ESPN2, UniMas & WatchESPN). They'll close out the calendar year with another friendly Tuesday at Austria (LIVE 1:45pm CT on NBC Sports Network, UniMas).
Here's hoping Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson gets some time in one of the matches over the next week.
While the USMNT can continue their prep for Brazil, a number of European and African sides are still playing for their World Cup lives this weekend.
A full schedule of the games and where you can watch them on the TV set:
Friday - (UEFA First Legs)
Iceland vs. Croatia; 1:00pm CT on ESPN3.com, WatchESPN
Portugal vs. Sweden; 1:45pm CT on ESPN Deportes, WatchESPN
Ukraine vs. France; 1:45pm CT on ESPN3.com, WatchESPN
Greece vs. Romania; 1:45pm CT on ESPN3.com, WatchESPN
Saturday - (CAF Second Legs)
Nigeria vs. Ethiopia (2-1); 9:00am CT on beIN Sport, beIN Sport en Espanol
Senegal vs. Ivory Coast (1-3); 1:00pm CT on beIN Sport, beIN Sport en Espanol
Cameroon vs. Tunisia (0-0) ; 8:30am CT on beIN Sport, beIN Sport en Espanol
Chicago Fire midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios and the Uruguayan National Team are [basically] on their way to Brazil next summer after an emphatic 5-0 demolition of Jordan in the first leg of the Intercontinental Playoffs earlier today in Amman.
Rios went 90 minutes in the heart of midfield while goals from Maxi Pereira (22'), Cristian Stuani (42'), Nicolass Lodeiro (69'), Cristian Rodriguez (78') and Edinson Cavani (92+') gave Uruguay what seems to be an insurmountable lead heading into the second leg next Wednesday in Montevideo.
Chicago Fire midfielders Joel Lindpere and Egidio Arevalo Rios won't be in Dallas this weekend as they've joined up with the Estonian and Uruguayan national teams respectively for FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
Lindpere and Estonia have already been eliminated from contention to qualify for Brazil 2014 but coming off one of the biggest results in the nation's history last month (2-2 draw vs. Holland), they'll be looking to play spoiler as they welcome Turkey to Tallinn Friday afternoon (1:30pm CT).
On 13 points, the Turkish side sits one back of Hungary for the second place playoff spot in UEFA Group D, level with Estonia's Tuesday opponents Romania who visit lowly Andorra on Friday.
Arevalo Rios and Uruguay's position in CONMEBOL qualifying is much more intriguing. Uruguay and Ecuador sit tied on points at 22 with the two nations set to play Friday afternoon in Quito (4pm CT on beINSport Espanol). The winner of the match looks certain to have a leg up on the fourth and final automatic qualifying bid out of South America with one round of matches to play.
Getting a win in Ecuador will be most crucial for Uruguay who sit fifth because of the goal difference tie breaker and because they'll close out qualifying with a home match against group leaders Argentina while Ecuador will face Chile Tuesday in Santiago.
Long before he reached U.S. Men's National Team and Roma fame, Michael Bradley was just a kid running around Fire training watching the likes of Piotr Nowak, Hristo Stoichkov and Ante Razov kick around.
On Friday night, MLS Insider told the story of Michael's young years around the teams his father managed before becoming a professional at age 16 with the MetroStars.
Watch the segment below and catch the full edition of MLS Insider Episode 5 by clicking here.
If you've paid attention to Victor Pineda's story over the last year, you'll know that just making the U.S. U-20 roster was a challenge.
The Fire's original Homegrown player came close to making his competitive debut at the end of 2012 before a meniscus injury sidelined him through much of this year's preseason.
Ever resilient, Pineda recovered in time to join the U.S. U-20s and will hopefully take the field when Tab Ramos' side opens up the FIFA World Youth Championships Friday vs. Spain in Istanbul, Turkey (LIVE 1pm CT on ESPN2).
Yanks Abroad's Brian Sciaretta wrote this excellent piece on Pineda's road to Turkey.
The Chicago Fire's Chris Rolfe, Logan Pause and Frank Klopas took part in U.S. Soccer's Centennial celebration and World Cup qualifying viewing party Tuesday night at Chicago's Grant Park.
Check out photos from the event below:
Sean Johnson isn't the only player with Fire ties in U.S. Men's National Team camp. Former Fire first teamer DaMarcus Beasley and PDL product Brad Guzan joined Sean for the opening of training camp Monday in Denver.
In this video, Beasley talks his return to the national team while the Home Glen native Guzan the likely starter for Friday's match vs. Costa Rica and next Tuesday's all-important clash at Mexico.
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson is in Honduras for this afternoon's opening Final Round CONCACAF qualifying match vs. los Catrachos (LIVE pre-game beginning at 2pm CT on beIN Sport).
It's unlikely Sean will see time in the match, much less even dress but the honor of being chosen is still great.
Check out video excerpts from Tuesday's pre-game press conference with head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and midfielder Michael Bradley here.
Also re-live the team's last visit to San Pedro Sula, a dramatic match in which the U.S. qualified for its sixth straight FIFA World Cup appearance, below:
Though he didn't have all that much to do in the U.S. Men's National Team's 0-0 friendly draw vs. Canada last week, it seems clear the Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson remains in Jurgen Klinsmann's plans after being one of three goalkeepers called in for Wednesday's CONCACAF Final Round World Cup qualifier at Honduras (LIVE 3pm CT on beIN Sport).
The summons means Johnson will miss most of the team's second phase of preseason camp in Ventura, Calif. but nearly a month of training with the national team won't leave him out of shape.
Consistently called up since last August's 1-0 friendly win at Mexico, the 90 minutes the fourth-year Fire 'keeper earned in Wednesday's draw seems to indicate Johnson is stating a strong case for the U.S. Men's third goalkeeper shirt behind English Premier League veterans Tim Howard and backup Brad Guzan.
Should his form hold up and the U.S. Men navigate another difficult CONCACAF qualifying test, Johnson could find his way to Brazil next year.
There are still too many variables to allow anyone to get that far ahead and strong competition will remain from the likes of veteran Nick Rimando (injured for January camp), as well as Johnson's friendly rival Bill Hamid.
While the trio wouldn't be expected to appear in this year's qualifying matches, with the U.S. expected to send a B-team to the this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup, the tournament will likely serve as the next indication as to who Klinsmann favors for the presumable third spot.
Even if he's not always playing in matches, the 23-year-old's continued inclusion in camps, working with the best 'keepers American soccer has offer, can only help with his chances and his form for the Fire.
It should be an interesting year for Sean and the U.S...
Remember the last time the U.S. went to Honduras?
Trailing 1-0 just after the break, the U.S. used a brace from Conor Casey and a Landon Donovan free kick to eventually win the match 3-2 and qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

EPA's Clean Agriculture is an innovative program to help farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses reduce emissions from older diesel engines currently in use. Because these engines can last 20 to 30 years and are not subject to EPA's emissions standards for new diesel engines, they will continue to emit harmful pollutants until they are retired.
Reducing exposure to diesel exhaust is important for public health and the environment. Clean Agriculture provides fleet managers, equipment owner and operators, and farmers a variety of strategies for reducing emissions, including idle-reduction practices that save money while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
In addition, EPA offers funding for diesel emission reduction programs. In January 2011, President Obama signed legislation reauthorizing DERA funding to eligible entities for projects that reduce emissions from existing diesel engines. Appropriations are determined by Congress on an annual basis.

Read: Firing A Player Who Gets Injured During The Lockout
At TSN, Eric Macramalla writes about what would happen to a players contract if he were to suffer an injury during the lockout.
He writes that if a player suffers an injury that would be deemed career ending, the team can use a clause in the standard player contract to terminate the contract and wouldn't have to pay what is remaining.
In the case of a player like Carl Hagelin, who is injured with a shoulder issue, if the lockout were to end and Hagelin was injured and unable to play, the Rangers could suspend him without pay.
In regards to insurance, Macramalla writes that it can cost a player between $10,000 and $25,000 per $1 million to insure a contract.

There's a Strong Wind in Beijing
1999. China. Directed by Ju Anqi. A gonzo camera crew roams the streets of China's capital, asking random passersby, "Is the wind strong in Beijing?" This ambiguous question provokes a startling variety of responses that expose social and cultural anxieties within contemporary China. The film implicitly poses a larger question about the role of intrusiveness and spontaneity in both documentary filmmaking and everyday social interactions. Courtesy of Ju Anqi. In Mandarin; English subtitles. 50 min.
Railroad of Hope
2002. China. Directed by Ning Ying. Years before the hit 2009 documentary Last Train Home depicted the plight of China's migrant population, Ning Ying joined a trainload of agricultural workers on a grueling three-day journey to China's northwest frontier in search of better jobs. In contrast to Last Train Home's self-effacing style, Ning foregrounds her own presence through her exchanges with fellow passengers, as they respond to her disarmingly direct questions about their lives, hopes, and dreams with heartbreaking candor. A fascinating study of how the documentary camera serves as both objective observer of and subjective confidant for its subjects. Courtesy of Documentary Educational Resources.

Comments about Ibanez BTB676 BTB 6-String Electric Bass Guitar:
I don't regret buying this bass at all, and I don't see myself ever selling it. At this price point, this thing is a bang for the buck.
It took me time to fall in love this instrument. Initially i really hated it...until i spent quality time with it. I will be getting an empress para eq pedal to correct the mids a bit. You can't go wrong with this instrument.
You can catch me playing it on youtube if you type "Jesus Culture Bass Cover".
Comments about Ibanez BTB676 BTB 6-String Electric Bass Guitar:
I have spent so much time with this instrument and I have to say I've never been more in love with a bass. The second I took it out of the box (having never played a six string before) I was hooked. It's easy for me to blow eight hours of my day just practicing because it is so intuitive and natural feeling. The neck is thin and inviting and the tone warm and silvery. The amber finish is GORGEOUS, and I absolutely love everything about it.
This beast is great for tapping, slapping, and whatever else you want to throw at it!
It's got functionality, playability, a jaw-dropping finish, and a gorgeous tone.
Very satisfied with the value

Read: Expecting More From JT Miller
In Team USA's 8-0 win over Germany today JT Miller scored the seventh goal with a pretty nifty move.
That goal appeared to trigger Miller as Chris Peters writes, at the United States of Hockey, that Miller wasn't doing enough before then. Following the goal Miller used his speed, was more physical and was just more involved as the game went on.
Peters notes that his line as a whole, with Rocco Grimaldi and Johnny Gaudreau got better as the game went on along, but will need to do more as the tournament goes on. He writes "As these guys get more comfortable together, they should be more dangerous. Miller scored a nice goal and this group became a lot more threatening in the third period."

The teenagers' goal -- when they started the eighth grade -- was to raise $100,000 for the Van Andel Institute by the time they graduate.
The girls have raised $65,000 so far, and they hoped to raised at least $5,000 more at Friday night's "Purple Community" event, the girls and boys basketball games.
What they did was raise the spirits of Brandon and Kelly Greer. The couple's their little girl, Abigail, is battling terminal brain cancer.
"She's gone through 55 radiation treatments," said her father, Brandon.
Neck burns and and tired eyes show a girl who is fighting a true battle -- a relapse of brain cancer has spread to her spine.
"If we can save anybody an ounce of what we've been through, it's worth it," said Greer.
Brandon Greer is a teacher in Forest Hills Public Schools, a district with four junior who are on their way to raising $100,000 for cancer research.
Bella Fiorenzo, Mariah Otolski and Sydney Vinton started their initiative with VAI in eighth grade, and Allie Wittenbach joined in the following year.
"We were so touched that they wanted to put a face to cancer," said Greer.
"It's something really tough to watch someone go through, but I wanted to help on this project because it has such a postitive effect on something so negative in so many people's lives," said Wittenbach.
Wittenbach's life has also been impacted -- her mother was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, and it's the reason she wanted to join these girls to find a way to fight it.
"I think this cause, in general, just brings people together and brings like the student section and the parents here for one common cause," she said.
For this game, there was one little girl that brought everyone to their feet. Allie and her friends dedicated the game to Abby, knowing she might not see another game one day.
"And now we found out it's incurable," said Brandon Greer.
Radiation will hopefully buy the Greer's six more months with their daughter, precious time to build memories like this one.
"Today's a great day," said Greer.
