The Republican's Social-Darwinist Budget Plan (Robert Reich)
Reich writes that Paul Ryan's new deficit reduction plan doesn't actually bring down the deficit, but it does reward the rich and send a clear message to the poor: Let them eat cake. Actually, they could stand to lose a few pounds. Skip the cake.
Inequality Undermines Democracy (NYT)
Eduardo Porter notes that support for government intervention to close the income gap is rising as more realize the American dream of equal opportunity is now as real as the one where they show up naked for a math test and all their teeth fall out.
The man blocking America's recovery (WaPo)
Katrina vanden Heuvel argues that Edward DeMarco has long overstayed his welcome as Acting Director of the FHFA, as the world's worst temp meets every every effort to refinance underwater loans with a Bartleby-like "I'd prefer not to."
A Colossal Mistake of Historic Proportions: The "JOBS" bill (Baseline Scenario)
Simon Johnson writes that while proponents of the JOBS Act claim it will stimulate the economy by rolling back securities regulations from the 1930s, it would only be a boon to investors who love surprises (as in "Surprise, we just robbed you blind!").
Europeans choose sides over financial crisis (WaPo)
Harold Meyerson notes that the austerity compact Merkel and Sarkozy pushed the EU to adopt has united people across national boundaries. Unfortunately for them, the organizing question is whether the austerians should be tossed out of their jobs.

Icelandic Anger Brings Debt Forgiveness in Best Recovery Story (Bloomberg)
While other countries have left their citizens on the hook for the financial crisis, the people of Iceland thew rocks at their parliament until they secured real, widespread debt relief. The obvious question for U.S. reformers: Underhand or overhand?
Trayvon Martin's Killing and Our Deep Distrust of Government (The Nation)
ND2.0 Editor Bryce Covert writes that as a result of the growing anti-government belief that policing is best left up to lone vigilantes rather than trained professionals, we're likely to see more people punished for crimes like existing while black.
Republicans Are Blocking the Violence Against Women Act (MoJo)
Some Republicans oppose a once-bipartisan law designed to prevent domestic violence, but not because they have a problem with women. As Adam Serwer explains, they just have a problem with gays, immigrants, and Native Americans.
Throwing Money at the Pentagon (TomDispatch)
William Hartung notes that while Barack Obama hasn't made much effort to cut defense spending, his GOP opponents view bloated Pentagon budgets as part of the American way of life. If it's really expensive and not very useful, they're for it.
'Super PACs' Supply Millions as G.O.P. Race Drains Field (NYT)
As the GOP's primaries drag on and decisive victory remains just out of reach for Mitt Romney, the candidates are being kept in the race through the generosity of Super PAC donors with deep pockets and a complete inability to count delegates.

Peter Blanchard shows off his latest sculpture, titled Standing Tall, on Tuesday at his home in Orchid Isle Estates. The piece, carved from a nearly 100-pound block of marble, now weighs 60 to 70 pounds and is the result of about 60 hours of work, Blanchard estimates.
Sally Blanchard smiles Tuesday at her home while talking about some of her artwork that will be on display during the Art Trail tour Saturday. Blanchard, an accomplished fine artist and jewelry maker, and her husband, Peter, are two of the 10 artists visitors will have an opportunity to meet during the tour.

Bobby Valentine, with Wally Backman on Bench
There is another option being discussed by the team, from what I understand, which involves bringing in a well-known, high-profile, fan-favorite manager – I'm guessing Bobby Valentine – with Wally Backman acting as bench coach.
However, I wonder if that is something Valentine is interested in, and a) what will cost to get him here, and b) how much influence will he want over player acquisitions and roster management?
The buzz in baseball is the Mets intend to find out, if they haven't already.
Valentine is still my top choice, not just for manager but for the team's overall brand, or 'The Mets Way,' which I wrote about roughly one year ago here, saying:
"Yes, he is quirky, but he is also an underdog with local roots, he played for the Mets, he played hard, he manages hard, he is organized and different and constantly working to be the smartest person on the field, and, most important, he wants to win, but he also understands that baseball is a game and should be fun – these are all qualities I want the Mets to be."
I realize there were some awkward moments between Valentine and Ownership and management during his time in Queens, not just during the bad times, but during the better times as well. However, that was 10 years ago. Things are very different, for better or worse. The way I understand it, Jeff Wilpon respects Valentine, and the two could most certainly develop a good working relationship. The key, I think, will be who gets the spotlight and when, and where does the GM fit in?
Obviously, I love the idea of a Valentine-Mets reunion, especially if Backman is on his bench, but my guess is, though I do think it is all very possible, it will take some serious conversations about power, money, roles, and job descriptions that might end up being road blocks more than bridges.
By the way, according to Wikipedia, Valentine claims to have invented the wrap sandwich, which is hilariously awesome… and I really hope it is true.

1952 Olympics
Dick Button, who had revolutionized figure skating with his athletic jumps and spins at St. Moritz in 1948, repeated his gold medal performance in '52. The 22–year-old Harvard senior also won the world championship for the fifth straight year, then turned pro.
Andrea Mead Lawrence, a 19–year-old whose parents built the Pico Peak ski resort in Vermont became the first U.S. skier to win two Olympic gold medals, taking both the slalom and giant slalom.
The star of the Games, however, was 28–year-old Norwegian truck driver Hjalmar Andersen who, urged on by his cheering countrymen, won three speed skating gold medals in three days and set Olympic records in two of the races.
The U.S. finished second to Norway in the overall medal count and was runner-up to Canada in hockey. The gold medal was the Canadians' seventh in eight Olympics and, as it turned out, their last for fifty years.

CDL A class drivers have opportunity to make decent pay and receive okay benefits. You also have good co-drivers at this location with good work ethic and sense of team work at times of need. The equipment is really nice and fairly new.
There are absolutely NO company ethics nor values here. They will work your mind and body to the edge. They will have taken all family life / personal balance away from you and will not accommodate. You'll get the notion your set up to fail soon after being hired. Drug and alcohol abuse is evident.
Advice to Management
You have created a horrible work environment from your inexperience in transportation. You should focus on restoring company values. Focusing on the employees and their family/personal life balance should be important. Fact #1 : Happy employees create a healthy and productive work place.

While the latest gadgets on store shelves continue to advance each holiday season, families havent yet forsaken the tradition of chopping down real Christmas trees together. In fact, more families are making outings to tree farms in the north country this season.
Hemlock Haven Christmas Tree Farm, 460 County Route 22A, Sandy Creek, drew a noticeable increase in sales the weekend after Thanksgiving, said Michele M. Forsyth, who co-owns the business with her husband, James T. The adventure of hunting for the ideal Christmas tree is lost by families who prefer artificial trees, she said, but some are changing their minds.
Its becoming more and more important to do things as a family because our lives are lives are more hectic, especially for a two-job working family, Mrs. Forsyth said. We see people changing their mind to think they are willing to put up with the needles in exchange for that wonderful smell of a tree. More people are wanting trees on Thanksgiving weekend when college students are home, and a lot of families from Fort Drum after deployments.
This seasons tree crop at the 90-acre farm fared better than usual, she said, because of hot, dry weather with relatively low rainfall. Precut and you-pick varieties include the Fraser, Douglas and balsam firs; white pine and white and blue spruce. Visitors will find an abundance of healthy trees for sale this season. They cost about $6 a foot and range from $48 to $54.
Our established trees had no problem whatsoever, Mrs. Forsyth said. When its dry you dont get fungus on the firs that will kill them, and you dont get as many insects.
Despite long stretches without rain this summer, she said, only 800 of the 4,000 trees planted at the farm in the spring were lost. A larger death toll was prevented by cool air during the evenings that brought high moisture for the trees. The farms elevated location near Lake Ontario draws more moisture than other areas.
We got lucky. We picked an open spot that slopes down to collect moisture to plant the trees, she said, adding trees need about 10 years to grow before they can be sold.
Mrs. Forsyth said the farm hosts open house weekends, which lure the most traffic during the first and second weekends of December. Those weekends feature visits with Santa, horse-drawn wagon rides and workshops on how to make wreaths. She said the spirited atmosphere is what reels families back year after year.
Families dont have time to have fun, so thats very important to us, she said. Its always Christmas spirit time here.
More families have also been drawn to the Simmons Farm, 10180 State Route 12, Copenhagen, said Shari L. Simmons, who co-owns the farm with her husband, Ted A. The couple, which has run the family farm for 35 years, also owns a second location off County Road 69 in Lowville. Trees are cut weekly at the farm to ensure theyre fresh, and most trees range from $30 to $35.
A lot of families are doing this as a tradition and making a day out of it, Mrs. Simmons said. Weve been very busy since we opened.
Mrs. Simmons said the 30-acre farms stock of Fraser and balsam firs fared well this season, but it lost 75 percent of the 4,000 baby trees planted in the spring because of low rainfall. To make up for the loss, about 7,000 will be planted next season.
Mrs. Simmonss grandfather, Robert L. Snyder, started the tree farm in the early 1930s. In addition to new customers it scooped up this season, the tree farms sales have been buoyed by the same families whove been coming for generations.
We love to see how excited families get, Mrs. Simmons said.

McElroy Listed With an Abdomen Injury
In the midst of his beatdown at the hands of the San Diego Chargers defense, Greg McElroy suffered an apparent abdomen injury. Luckily, the injury does not appear serious as he practiced in full today and is slated to start the Jets' final game against Buffalo. Of course, this only prolongs The Great Tim Tebow-Mark Sanchez back-up discussion as Rex stated he may keep all three quarterbacks active again which is a convenient excuse as a third stringer does not have to be designated.

Upcoming games: @ Penguins, February 21, 7:00 p.m.; @ Islanders, February 24, 7:00 p.m.; Sabres, February 25, 7:00 p.m.
Pittsburgh Penguins (71 points, 6th place, 33-21-5)
The Rangers are 2-1 against the Pens this season. The last time they met on January 19, the Penguins won 4-1 with Evgeni Malkin notching two goals. Malkin leads the team with 32 goals and 39 assists. After a 6-4 win in Philadelphia on Saturday, the Penguins lost 6-2 to the Sabres on Sunday. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury relieved backup Brent Johnson early in the second period after he allowed three goals on 12 shots. Fleury is 11-2-1 over his last 14 games, a stretch that included nine straight wins and has a GAA of 2.41. The Pens have the third best penalty kill unit in the league. Center Jordan Staal was recently fined $2,500 for boarding Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn. Winger James Neal signed a six year contract extension worth $30 million announced this weekend. Captain Sidney Crosby skated with the team on Friday but his return still doesn't appear imminent as he isn't concussion symptom free.
New York Islanders (58 points, 12th place, 25-25-8)
The Rangers are 3-1 versus the Isles this season. Henrik Lundqvist shutout the rivals 3-0 while rookie Carl Hagelin netted two goals on December 26. The Islanders were shutout 6-0 on President's Day by the Ottawa Senators. They continue to be inconsistent in victories and in net. In February they have alternated between wins and losses with a 5-4-1 over the last ten games. John Tavares continues to light the lamp and is leading the team with 58 points. Former Ranger PA Parenteau is not far behind with 53 points while Matt Moulson has 25 goals. They are just six points out of the playoff picture with the Maple Leafs in eighth place with 64 points. They added yet another name to the goaltender mix. The 21-year-old Kevin Poulin made 33 saves in the victory over the Hurricanes on Saturday. General manager Garth Snow hopes to resign the veteran netminder Evgeni Nabokov. He's 14-14 this season with two shutouts.
Buffalo Sabres (57 points, 14th place, 25-27-7)
The Rangers are 2-0 against the Sabres this season. Ryan Miller and Henrik Lundqvist stole the show back on February 1 as the Rangers ultimately won in a shootout after Ryan Callahan scored the winning goal. The Sabres snapped a four game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Penguins on Sunday. Derek Roy, Jason Pominville and Christian Ehrhoff each had three points in the game. Roy has five points in his last three games. Miller has allowed 14 goals in his last five games. They are 5-3-2 over the last ten games.

Peace Rally Held To End Standoff In Sabah
A boy prays during dusk prayers in the Muslim community of Maharlika... News PhotoBoys,Child,Conflict,Dusk,Horizontal,Islam,Philippines,Praying,Taguig,Waist Up,WarPhotographer Dondi TawataoCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Dondi TawataoTAGUIG, PHILIPPINES - MARCH 06: A boy prays during dusk prayers in the Muslim community of Maharlika Village on March 6, 2013 in Taguig, Philippines. The peace rally was held to call for an end to hostilities in the ongoing crisis in Sabah. Fighting has broken out anew in the village of Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia as Malaysian security forces comb the coastal areas where the 'Royal Sultanate Army of Sulu' was thought to have been hiding. Around 200 armed followers of self-proclaimed Sultan of Sulu Jamalul Kiram III in the restive southern provinces of Sulu and Tawi-Tawi in Mindanao crossed over to neighboring Sabah last February 12 to lay claim to territory as ancestral land, triggering clashes with Malaysian security forces. Philippine diplomatic officials confirmed yesterday that security forces in Malaysia have conducted airstrikes and ground assault on the 'royal army' of the Sultanate of Sulu in Lahad Datu, Sabah. A total of 17 followers of self-proclaimed Sultan of Sulu Jamalul Kiram III and eight Malaysian security forces were killed in the villages of Lahad Datu and Semporna in Sabah.

Very Compact Full Range Speaker
The EVID 3.2 is a very compact full-range loudspeaker ideal for indoor and outdoor applications requiring high-quality sound. Its shape and size make it nearly invisible for use in background/foreground music systems for restaurants, bars, patios, retail, and other applications.
The 3.2's three-dimensional elliptic baffle symmetrically locates the .75" Ti direct radiator high-frequency element in front of and between the 3.5" low-frequency drivers.
The careful shaping, location, and 10° splaying of the LF units provide coverage control by the resulting line array. Lobing is controlled by physically "shadowing" the LF transducers from each other over the bandwidth where they would normally exhibit interference.
EVID's mounting system provides greater range of aiming angles in both horizontal and vertical planes than other types. The grille follows the use of curvature, with designed-in weather resistance and a hidden leash for safety.
All models are available in black or white, and can easily be painted to match the dÈcor. Transformer versions are also available for constant voltage systems.

Comments about Electro-Voice EVID 3.2 Series Wall Mount Speakers:
We mounted these speakers in a room with an 8 foot ceiling. We were tired of setting up hure speakers on stands and gave these a chance. For a room that is about 20 x 20, they are not bad. The problem is that whenever we had a drummer in the room that was banging as hard as he could, they were not that great. However, for acoustic instruments and strictly vocals, they are a great value. I am buying more and firing the drummer.

On Thursday, the last trading day of the first quarter of 2013, the Standard and Poor's index of 500 stocks — the S&P 500 — traded at 1567, two points above where it traded in October, 2007, just before it plummeted to 676 in March, 2009. With that news, the sigh of relief on Wall Street was nearly audible. CNNMoney gushed:
Finally! The S&P 500 topped its all-time closing high in morning trading Thursday, after flirting with the milestone for weeks….
The Dow [Jones Industrial Average], which has been trading at record highs since early March, is up more than 11% and poised to book its best first quarter since 1998. The S&P 500 is up almost 10%. The Nasdaq is up 8%.
And there's more to come, according to the staff at CNNMoney: "Valuations remain attractive for U.S. stocks … and looking at earnings projections, stocks still appear reasonably valued."
This no doubt is a surprise to the writer at Activist Post who exactly three months ago said that this is "a false bull market. That is why we feel comfortable predicting a significant decline in the stock market in 2013 … Look for the Dow Jones to dip below the 10,000 mark [it traded Thursday at 14,564] next year." That would be a decline of more than 30 percent.
Anthony Mirhaydari, writing for MSN Money, said "there are still serious problems with the real economy" and proceeded to outline them:

Rebecca Secula
Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca Secula, and I joined the Oglethorpe team in August 2013 as an Admission Counselor. I'm so excited to work for such a progressive and innovative school! Being born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I decided to push outside of my comfort zone by attending college at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. While there, I studied abroad twice in Beijing, China, and I attended a three- week class excursion to several different cities in Japan. I also interned for the Cleveland Council on World Affairs and worked for the JCU Office of Admission for three years, which developed in me a passion for working in a collegiate environment. Once I graduated magna cum laude in May of 2013 with a degree in East Asian Studies, I decided I needed to leave my comfort zone once again and start an entirely new life. Starting my career in Atlanta, Georgia, was the best decision I've ever made! This city is bursting with energy, which makes every day just as exciting as the last.
Atlanta has been a great city to explore, but the reason why my move has been so successful is Oglethorpe. This small school has the perfect location because it allows you the freedom to experience fast city life whenever you want, but takes you back into a tranquil and peaceful environment as soon as you step on campus. More importantly, Oglethorpe will become your new family, not just your new school. We have such a fun, supportive, and welcoming environment, and I am so proud to be representing our black and yellow Stormy Petrel community. I hope you decide to make a visit to our campus and experience all of what Oglethorpe University can offer you.
Favorite spot on campus: The Turner Lynch Campus Center. It feels so modern and alive, definitely an ideal place to study or relax—not to mention the cool new Mongolian Grill in the dining hall!
Favorite OU event or tradition: I love the Oglethorpe Orientation Day of Service. Having a specific day dedicated to volunteering creates an atmosphere that emphasizes the importance of being a part of the greater community. It is a day to give back and dedicate a few hours to the well-being of others.
Favorite OU trivia: My favorite fact has to be that OU houses the Crypt of Civilization. The crypt is an airtight chamber, not to be opened until the year AD 8113, which holds various items that represent our culture for the future population of the world.
Favorite Atlanta spot: Atlanta is a foodie's paradise, so I can't pick one restaurant as my favorite. My top two favorites would definitely be Sotto Sotto and South City Kitchen-- some of the best Italian, and chicken and waffles, in the city!
Favorite music: My favorite band in the entire world is Train, so all of their albums are winners to me.
Most interesting place I've been: The most interesting place I've ever been has to be in the small town of Yangshuo, located in Southern China. While I was there, I took a boat ride along the Li river and saw karst peaks, held cormorants, and went mud caving. I've also climbed up the famous Mount Tai in Tai'an, China.

In a move that would have impressed Harry Houdini, Lotus has made one thousand pounds of vehicle mass seemingly disappear – yet we still know it's there. We're high in the mountains above San Diego, challenging corners in the 2010 Lotus Evora, and the larger and more luxurious two-plus-two is emulating the moves of its lightweight race-ready Elise and Exige siblings.
What gives the Evora its supernatural powers? How does the all-new Evora fit into the Lotus lineup? And, most importantly, is this the first Lotus you can park in your garage without having to explain it to the neighbors? Find out after the jump.
