Is there canvas backing on this rug?
Other reviewers were right on as far as the description! Background is very light and is very prominent. I thought it would be a darker off-white, but it is very light. Hope my 3 kids don't spill KoolAid on it any time soon! I LOVE the rug! The colors are wonderful and there are so many to choose from for accents. It shipped super fast...ordered on a Wednesday, late at night and it was delivered Friday! It is a fun, great looking rug and I'm excited to have it in my den!...

This is a beautiful rug! The colors are bright and cheery, but not gaudy. However, after even the first time vacuuming it, with the brushes on, some of the loops pulled out. I've had it for a few months now, and it has a lot of pulls all over, making it look like a cheap yarn rug I made myself. I wish it was as good quality as it looked when I first got it.Read More

Mixed reviews
I like the rug; it adds a great deal of color to our kitchen sitting area. My partner thinks it looks a bit old fashioned, but is confident that it will grow on her. I hope so :-)Read More
Love our new rug! Perfect in our home! The colors were EXACTLY what we were looking for!Read More
I looked for a long time, through thousands of rugs, even bought another rug and returned it, trying to find the perfect rug. The rug in the picture appears to be predominantly a geometric pattern. In person, however, there is much more background and the pattern is cheerful flowers. It has several shades of greens, from a pale lime green to an olive green, and yellow shades from a light, sunshine yellow, to a golden color. It also has burgundy, medium purple, and several shades of blues, from sky blue to ceil blue.Read More
Awesome Rug!
I was hoping like a couple of the other reviews said, that the cream would be lighter, but it wasnt - the cream on my monitor for the larger pic is exactly how the cream looks in person. But - its how i expected it to be based on the pic, so i wasnt surprised, Other than that, i love the rug!! The colors are very pretty, but muted so its not too bright. Also, with so many different colors in the rug there is a lot to pull from so you have a lot of choices when it comes to decorating. I LOVE the vintage feel to the rug - its fresh and clean looking, but the pattern says "grandmas quilt" to me - which i love!! The rug seems very well made and i am very happy with it. I havent started using the rug yet (waiting to paint my table) - but it seems easy to clean and like it will hold up.Read More
This rug is even better in person. When it's unrolled it looks less geometric than in the small picture on the computer screen (which was a bonus for me). While technically the proportions of color to off-white background on the picture look correct, when it's laid out it feels like an off-white rug with color on it. (Rather than flowers with some off-white between them as it looks in the picture. This was also a bonus for me!) It's the perfect combo of contemporary/cottage that I have been looking for. With two big dogs and two small kids we go through a lot of area rugs. This is by far my favorite that we've had! It looks and feels much more expensive than it actually was. I love it!Read More

Connection in MiamiJan 27, 20151Hi, I am purchasing a flight from DC to Barcelona that connects in Miami with and hour and a half layover. I bought the tickets together as a package, do you think I will have enough time? Will I have to recheck my back when I land in Miami?tjp3szTue, Jan 27
How to recheck luggageJan 25, 20151Wondering what the process is to landing and rechecking luggage . Like where do I go I'm worried since I have two hour layover and can be delays worried not knowing will make me miss my next flight***Sun, Jan 25After you met with the person who you show your passport to and who may ask you some questions, you will then go to the baggage claim. You will then claim your baggage and then hand the customs sheet to the customs officer at the exit of the baggage claim. Immediately after is a desk where you can re-check your bags. It's very difficult to miss.ZAPSun, Jan 25
Baggage QuestionJan 25, 20154Hi! I purchased a plane ticket to the Panama-Tocumen airport. The ticket itinerary is as follows: Flying on United Airlines from Kansas City (MCI) to Houston (IAH), then a 5 hour layover in IAH waiting for my connecting flight, and then flying from IAH to Panama-Tocumen (again, on United Airlines). Will I need to claim my checked baggage while waiting for my connecting flight in IAH? Or will it automatically be transferred to my plane destined for Panama-Tocumen? Also, will I fly into Terminal E in IAH from my Kansas City flight? And will I leave IAH for Panama-Tocumen from Terminal E? Thank you!Atalie25Sat, Jan 24No, you do not have to claim your bags on your way to Panama. Your Kansas City flight will arrive in Terminal B or C. You will depart to Panama from Terminal E. You can walk from C to E. B is connected to E inside security by the TerminaLink train.ZAPSat, Jan 24Sorry - one more question: I have an option to change my connecting flight so that I will not have such a long 5 hour layover in IAH. I could instead change my flight to have a 48 minute layover in IAH before catching my connecting flight. Since I will not need to check my bags inbetween my flight from Kansas City and my flight to Panama, will 48 minutes be enough time for me to get from Terminal B or C to Terminal E? Thank you!Atalie25Sat, Jan 24

Hou->Den->AspenJan 14, 20151I am traveling from Houston to Aspen with a connection in Denver. I only have 36 minutes in between the 2 flights both United.

Can anyone help?AMSWed, Jan 14Yes, there have been frequent baggage issues in Denver lately. Unfortunately you cannot carry your skis onboard. Wear your coat on the plane and put your ski pants in your carry on so if your baggage is delayed you'll at least have that and should be able to ski if you rent skis.ZAPWed, Jan 14

Most people who live in the area know the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry needs donations - but this month, the pantry could be more of a topic of conversation than usual.
Carl Koebel, the president of the Kiwanis Club of Port Clinton, said members are making an extra effort to support the pantry by promoting awareness.
"The Kiwanis motto is 'Changing the world one child, one community at a time,' so anything we can do to help any organization we try to do, especially if it's an organization that helps children," Koebel said. ...

Composting Key to Soil Health and Climate Protection, According to Two New ReportsThe content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at https://ilsr.org/composting-key-soil-health-climate-protection-reports/
Washington, DC — Composting reduces waste and builds healthy soil to support local food production and protect against the impacts of extreme weather, from droughts to heavy rainfall. That's the message of two new reports from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR): State of Composting in the U.S.: What, Why, Where & How and Growing Local Fertility: A Guide to Community Composting.
CONTACT: Rebecca Toews
EMAIL: email@example.com
Download both reports:
Compost is the dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling material produced by the managed decomposition of organic materials such as yard trimmings and food scraps. Compost is valued for its ability to enhance soil structure and quality. It adds organic matter to soil, improves plant growth and water retention, cuts chemical fertilizer use, and stems stormwater run-off and soil erosion. In the U.S., 99 million acres (28% of all cropland) are eroding above soil tolerance rates, meaning the long-term productivity of the soil to support plant growth cannot be maintained.
"Applying a meager half-inch of compost to the 99 million acres of severely eroded cropland would require about 3 billion tons of compost," says Brenda Platt, the lead author of both reports and director of ILSR's Composting Makes $en$e Project. "There is not enough compost to meet that need. No organic scrap should be wasted."
Compost also protects the climate: it sequesters carbon in soil and it reduces methane emissions from landfills by cutting the amount of biodegradable materials disposed. (Methane is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 72 times more potent than CO2 in the short-term.) A growing body of evidence demonstrates the effectiveness of compost to store carbon in soil for a wide range of soil types and land uses.
Yard trimmings composting programs are fairly well developed in the U.S. Of the 4,914 composting operations identified in the U.S. for State of Composting in the U.S., about 71% compost only yard trimmings (based on 44 states reporting). Food scrap recovery is slowly growing. More than 180 US cities and counties are now collecting residential food scraps for composting, up from only a handful a few years ago.
"There is more demand for composting, especially from businesses and institutions that want to source separate food scraps and not throw them in the landfill," says Nora Goldstein, Editor of BioCycle, which conducted the state-by-state assessment of composting infrastructure and policies, "We not only need more infrastructure to compost these materials, we need more infrastructure to manufacture high quality compost that our soils — and climate — desperately need."

Reimagine healthcare communication.
Our goal is not to connect you with technology. It's to connect you with people. What if you could count on quick communication with your team members? A more efficient link to important information. A strong connection with every patient. With a Voalte alternative in place, it's easy to imagine the possibilities.
When every
minute counts.
We guarantee your patient can count on you. From the moment a patient enters the hospital, the clock starts ticking. The faster they get to a bed, the sooner their care can begin. Voalte links nurses, doctors, lab technicians, transport teams – all efficiently and with little effort. So your patient moves quickly from the front door to feeling better.
When safety matters.
We make your quick response a matter of fact. You've come to expect the unexpected. At any moment, an alarm can sound, and your patient's life may be at risk. Or they may just want a drink of water. Voalte alarms distinguish urgent from less critical so you can respond appropriately. And your patient can feel safe, knowing they're in good hands.
When communication is crucial.
We keep important information flowing. When your patient's needs are always changing, it's tough to keep all the moving parts in line. With Voalte, you can get the right information to the right people at the right time, even during shift change. Because when caregivers have more time to care, patients feel the difference.
When quiet speaks volumes.
We bring the noise down to a healing level. Phones ringing. Intercoms blaring. Alarms beeping. Can a busy unit also be a quiet unit? With Voalte, text and vibrating alarms quietly replace phone calls and overhead paging so you can exchange information without speaking a word. You get your work done, while your patient stays sound asleep.
When patients go home happy.
We help your satisfaction scores soar. So many instructions. So much paperwork. And all your patient wants is to get back to their family as soon as possible. When discharge moves quickly, your patient goes home happy. Happier patients mean higher HCAHPS scores. With a painless process, your patient is on the mend, and on your side.
When patient care comes together.
We call it the Voalte Effect. Imagine communicating effortlessly and working efficiently. Tying in seamlessly to your hospital's many mobile systems. Enjoying your shift and having time to devote attention to each person you're caring for. Voalte doesn't replace patient care. We make patient care that much better.

Surfside Marina Fishing Report by Short Corner Tackle
July 31, 2013
With a hectic tournament season nearing an end (Congrats to Team Papotanic and the other winners of the Surfside Marina Center Console Shootout), here's what's going on offshore.
Nearshore, the opening of shrimp season has added the additional target of shrimpboats to the mix, for kingfish, ling, dolphin, and more. Tarpon have also made a showing off the beach near Freeport.
In a little deeper water, blackfin have showed up on the shrimpboats in 150+ ft of water.
Along the shelf, rigs along the 100 fathom curve have showed a strong blue marlin bite, as well as wahoo and a few dorado. Tuna fishing at the deepwater rigs has finally slowed up from what was an outstanding May and June, although some real studs showed up last week.
Amberjack season opens tomorrow!

Jon Bon Jovi Launching Avon Fragrance
Perfect news for this morning considering I'm headed out to see Iron Maiden later tonight.
Jon Bon Jovi is launching an Avon Fragrance. Yup, Jon Bon Jovi Perfume.
Doesn't get any better than that does it?
Avon announced today that Jon Bon Jovi will serve as the face of the new Avon Unplugged fragrances for him and for her, two new scents that exude passion, soulfulness and intensity. The partnership unites a rock icon and a major force in beauty, both of whom are dedicated to charitable efforts.
"Avon, and the Avon Foundation for Women, have given support and a voice to those in need for decades," says Jon Bon Jovi. "Their philosophy of empowerment sends a strong message and I'm pleased to partner with them," says Jon Bon Jovi.
"Jon's music and philanthropic work celebrate independence and optimism, two beautiful qualities that radiate from within," explains Lily DeStefano, Vice President of Avon North America Beauty. "The 'Unplugged' scents evoke an emotional connection – something Jon inspires in audiences around the world."
The Unplugged fragrances are captivating and exhilarating. Unplugged for Her is a floral oriental fragrance available in October 2012, and Unplugged for Him is a woody floral musk scent available in November 2012.
Whatcha think?
Hair band fan?
I am. I grew up on large doses of bands like Jon Bon Jovi, Poison, Cinderella, Wicked Sister, etc…etc…

The Uncluded
Inclusive Q&A with The Uncluded
Published on June 26th, 2013 | by Joe Lawler
A few weeks back I sent some questions off to Kimya Dawson and Aesop Rock, the respective folk singer and rapper who recently started recording and touring together as The Uncluded. They're performing at Wooly's on Monday.
For the record, "K" is Kimya Dawson, "A" is Aesop Rock.
Q: What was it that got two of you together for The Uncluded?
K: We did some collaborating on both of our last solo albums and through that process realized we liked working together and we were both dealing with some loss. We just kept making songs.
A: Yeah, it seemed fun and easy and the timing felt good, so we just kinda went for it.
Q: On the surface your individual styles of music seem very different. What was the common ground each of you saw in the other?
K: We both love words and use lots of them. But it's not just about the meanings of the words. How they sound together and fit together and land rhythmically is important too. I know a lot of people who write but he has a real gift that I appreciate and admire. We both can be silly sometimes but we also get pretty dark. We feel stuff hard. He just makes sense to me.
A: Yeah, I think we're both pretty OCD with the words. We've talked about how it's almost a sickness, the need to get this stuff out, put words on a specific order, etc.
Q: Do you find your approach to The Uncluded songs is different than when you're working on your own material?
K: When I write my own songs I don't write them down. It's all in my head and it just sort of rolls in and I don't really edit much. With these songs we did a bit of back and forth. I typed my lyrics up. We worked together.
A: I think these songs are a little less cryptic than what I normally do. There is another lyricist to consider, and it's all about complimenting what the other has done with whatever you write.
Q: Did you do most of the work together in the studio, or send tracks back and forth due to locations/touring?
K: Most of it was sent back and forth but we did spend some time in Aesop's home studio re-doing vocals and adding other instruments and stuff. Some of the songs we recorded first on our lap tops and decided to do them again in the studio. Every song was different depending on the song and where we were at.
A: A lot of back and forth and phone calls and trips up and down the northwest coast.
Q: How does the live experience with The Uncluded compare to the writing/recording part of the collaboration?
K: Because so many of the songs were created with us in different places it feels really amazing to be in the songs live together in one place. Our friend James Lynch has joined the group and plays a number of instruments to help flesh out the sound. These songs mean a lot to me and performing them feels awesome.
A: It's been weird and awesome to have a "band", and figuring out how to translate what we wrote to the stage.
Q: Is this a collaboration you think will continue beyond "Hokey Fright" and touring?
K: It is hard for me to imagine going back to sitting on a stage by myself. I love doing this. I can't imagine we will stop making songs together.
A: Yeah, I'm sure we'll keep it going.
Q: Given your individual hits and careers, are there portions of the show that touch on the solo material, or are you keeping things Uncluded only for this tour?
K: Only Uncluded. This is its own beast.
A: What she said.

German court confirms Bishop Williamson's conviction for Holocaust denial
Catholic World News - April 16, 2010
A German court has confirmed the conviction of Bishop Richard Wiliamson for his public statements questioning the severity of the Holocaust. But the court reduced the fine imposed on the traditionalist prelate to €10,000 ($13,350), noting that the bishop's comments were made to a Swedish television interviewer, and Williamson had no way of knowing that they would be reproduced in Germany, where it is a criminal offense to question the Holocaust. Neither Bishop Williamson--who now lives in England--nor his Swedish interviewer appeared at the German trial.

The Bureau of Land Management, with the assistance of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are investigating the shooting of a wild horse that was found injured in the Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area, located in Tooele County. The National Mustang Association, the BLM and the Intermountain Wild Horse and Burro Advisors Inc. have teamed up to offer an $8000 reward for information that results in an arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the shooting.
The animal, a nine-year old black stallion, had been shot on its upper left hip, causing broken bones. The animal was unable to put any weight on its left leg and had been suffering for a lengthy amount of time. BLM officials were forced to euthanize the horse, due to the animal's obvious pain and suffering. Evidence of this criminal act was found and collected.
"It is upsetting that an individual would shoot an animal and simply leave it to suffer," said Utah BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program Lead Gus Warr. "These are wonderful animals that mean a lot to the citizens of our nation and they should not fall victim to this sort of senseless behavior."
A local citizen who frequently enjoys viewing wild horses in the area reported the injured animal to the BLM. The stallion was a part of a small band of horses that occupy the northern reaches of the Cedar Mountain herd management area.
"Viewing wild horses in their natural habitat is fast becoming a wonderful recreation opportunity for the American public," Warr said.
"BLM is inventorying and monitoring populations across the state to ensure that wild horses are safe and that no other animals are needlessly killed or injured."
BLM Utah currently manages a population of approximately 2,600 wild horses, in accordance with the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 which gives the agency a mandate to protect and manage the animals.
The Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 makes it illegal to maliciously cause the death or harassment of a federally protected wild horse or burro.
It is also against the law to remove a wild free-roaming horse or burro from public land without authority or to convert one of the animals to private use without authority.
Persons providing information may choose to remain anonymous. Individuals with information about this incident are encouraged to contact BLM Law Enforcement at 1-800-772-3998 or (801) 550-9863. Informants may also contact USFWS at (435) 734-6446.

Nicolas Ferrel-Ibarra was a reporter in Mexico, one of the most dangerous places on the planet to be a journalist.
Only eight other countries around the world including Iraq have had more journalist murders than Mexico, according to Committee to Protect Journalists, an international advocacy group.
Since 1992, the organization confirmed that 28 reporters, editor and photographers have been murdered directly because of their work as journalists in Mexico. Another 41 journalists in the country had been killed during the same span of time, but the motive of the murders had not been confirmed, CPJ reports.
By comparison, there have been only five journalists killed in the U.S. since 1992 including Manuel de Dios Unanue, a reporter for El Diario/La Prensa, who was gunned down on March 11, 1992, in New York City.
Ferrel-Ibarra first worked as a journalist in the border city of Juarez in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, where two journalists have been killed since the Mexican Drug War flared up in 2007.
A colleague of his, Armando Rodriguez Carreon, 40, was a crime reporter for El Diario de Ciudad Juárez.
Before his murder on Nov. 13, 2008, in Ciudad Juárez, Carreon spoke with a representative of CPJ about the hazards of working as a journalist in the violent city engulfed in a drug war. Carreon had been receiving threats on a routine basis.
"The risks here are high and rising, and journalists are easy targets," Rodríguez told CPJ. "But I can't live in my house like a prisoner. I refuse to live in fear."
An "unidentified assailant" gunned down Rodríguez as the veteran crime reporter sat in a company sedan in the driveway of his home. Rodríguez's eight-year-old daughter, whom he was preparing to take to school, watched from the back seat.
Days before he was murdered, Rodríguez had written an article accusing a local prosecutor's nephew of having links to drug traffickers, according to CPJ.
Attempts to solve the case have triggered more violence.
In July 2009, the lead federal investigator working on the Rodríguez murder was shot to death. His replacement was murdered less than a month later. In an April 2010 interview with The Texas Tribune, an online news outlet, Juárez Mayor José Reyes Ferriz said there were no leads or suspects in the case, according to CPJ.
After Ferrel-Ibarra moved to Denver he continued to work as a journalist while he also held down a job at a check cashing business at 1550 S. Federal Blvd.
Ferrel-Ibarra had a wife and two children.
The Denver Police Department has an online cold case registry that includes profiles of about 700 murder victims dating back to 1970. In most of the cases the descriptions are very brief, contained in only a single short paragraph.
The profile of Ferrel-Ibarra's murder that happened on the morning of Oct. 25, 2004, is unusual in that it not only is longer than the other profiles but includes personal details about him.
"Friends and family members of Nicolas Ferrel-Ibarra remember him as a fearless man. He worked as a journalist in Juarez, Mexico and here in Denver."
The short message has meaning for me as a journalist. On very few occasions have I ever felt threatened working as a reporter the past 25 years in the U.S. But reporters like Rodriguez and Ferrel-Ibarra live with ongoing threats. They go about their work, trying not to think about what could happen to them.
Although the motive in the murder of Ferrel-Ibarra appears to be unrelated to his work as a journalist, his "fearless" reaction helps explain what happened.
On the morning he was shot to death, Ferrel-Ibarra was collecting receipts and cash from the business he worked at, according to Denver police records.
He was walking near El Muneco Records & Tapes at 1550 S. Federal Blvd. at about 10 a.m. that Monday morning, when two men accosted him, according to an article written by former Rocky Mountain News reporter Brian Crecente.
Ferrel-Ibarra was on his way to take $70,000 to a local bank when the robbers ordered him to give them the money. He didn't cooperate with the armed men as most bank employees are trained to do.
Instead, Ferrel-Ibarra got into his car and locked the driver- and passenger-side doors. He was apparently going to try to make a run for it.
"In an effort to avoid being robbed, Mr. Ferrel-Ibarra entered his vehicle and attempted to drive off," the Denver police report says.
But both suspects were armed.
One of robbers aimed his gun and fired, killing Ferrel-Ibarra.
Police arrested a 35-year-old man on suspicion of first-degree murder the following day. The man was never formally charged and was eventually released.
Denver homicide detectives later issued an arrest warrant for Felipe Jesus Buelna, now 37. Buelna has never been caught.
The alleged accomplice has not been identified.
Anyone with information that could help authorities locate Buelna or identify and arrest his accomplice is asked to call Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-2000.
Denver Post staff writer Kirk Mitchell can be reached at 303-954-1206 [1] or twitter.com/kmitchelldp [2]. Mitchell's book "The Spin Doctor [3]" is available now from New Horizon Press.

Player Start
Here is a scenario?
The player is in a paused state (ie rate of 0.0f)
Stop the player. Load new playlist. Mute audio. Call set media time. Call start.
Is start() guaranteed to set the rate back to 1.0?
According to the javadocs, set media time can be called on either a started or stopped player (unlike a controller). Should the setmediatime be called before or after start is called?
If mediatime is set before start is called, is the start event sent when the player starts or when it reaches the specified mediatime? Is there any event that can be received (and guaranteed to exist) that fires when the player has reached the desired time (or are we forced to poll the player to getnanoseconds)?
The basic scanario wanted is:
A playitem is paused, a menu button will load a new playlist and jump to a specific frame and then the player will pause.
The problem:
We are having a devil of a time getting all players to jump to the desired frame in the new playlist, present that frame and pause. More often than not the frame is never presented, but all events have fired so setRate(0.0f) is called to pause. This means we get a black screen with the desired new graphics instead of the video frame with the desired new graphics. We even tried pausing for 100ms after start event before pausing, but that made no difference.
We also tried setMediaTimePosition instead of setmediatime but that seemed to crash some players.
Any suggestions?

"Kay Hagan helped pass Obamacare, then thousands of North Carolinians were told their insurance policies were canceled. Hagan's vote for Obamacare cut over $700 billion from our Medicare."
–voiceover of new Crossroads GPS ad against Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.)
This advertisement from the pro-GOP group Crossroads GPS is almost like an oldies record of top tunes lambasting the Affordable Care Act—and it has the same dated feel as well. Just about everything in this ad has been called into question before, with the exception of its opening scenes—which highlight that our colleagues at PolitiFact had deemed President Obama's promise that you could keep your health-care plan the "Lie of the Year."
No argument about that – Obama's statement was also one of the Biggest Pinocchios of 2013—but even the Lie of the Year reference seems dated. (We have seen it in what feels like a gadzillion ads.) Let's look at the other elements of this ad.
"Hagen's Vote Passed Obamacare"
The ad does not quite claim that Hagan cast the "deciding vote" but it comes close. The Senate's version of the legislation was passed by a vote of 60 to 38, after Democrats voted to end debate and advance the bill.
Every Democrat in the Senate, including Hagen, voted for that bill. But it was never officially reconciled with a House version because the Democrats lost the Massachusetts Senate seat in a special election. So an amendment of the Senate bill, crafted in the House, was finally passed on March 25 under a procedure that avoided the 60-vote requirement. That bill only needed 50 votes, and it passed 56 to 43, with Hagan voting with the majority.
"473,724 North Carolinians Received Insurance Cancellations"
This number seems high because generally states have reported how many policies were canceled, not how many people were affected. In the case of North Carolina, the number of policies was 183,821—before the Obama administration announced rules that would allow people to keep their policies for at least another year in many states.
Republicans used to love to compare the number of cancellations with the number of sign-ups; we have explained repeatedly that the cancellations and the sign-ups are hard to compare as they are really apples and oranges. But it's especially absurd to bring this up now that the law has met its enrollment targets.
As it turns out, significantly more policies were purchased in North Carolina on the Obamacare exchange—357,584 policies, according to the Web site ACAsignups.net. That's nearly double the number of "cancellations," even though North Carolina was a state that chose not to accept the provision of expanded Medicaid in the law.
Small wonder the ad doesn't try to make that comparison.
"Obamacare cut Medicare $700 billion+"
Now this is really old! This claim was repeatedly made during the 2012 presidential campaign by the Mitt Romney campaign, so one wonders why it would still be considered effective now. (The ad then further cites a University of Minnesota study that says $16.5 billion would be taken from Medicare in North Carolina.)
The $700 billion figure comes from the difference over 10 years (2013-2022) between anticipated Medicare spending (what is known as "the baseline") and the changes that the law makes to reduce spending. The savings mostly are wrung from health-care providers, not Medicare beneficiaries — who, as a result of the health-care law, ended up with new benefits for preventive care and prescription drugs. (It is worth noting that, given past practices, the Medicare actuary has doubted whether all of the planned cuts actually will come to pass.)
While it is correct that anticipated savings from Medicare were used to help offset some of the anticipated costs of expanding health care for all Americans, it does not affect the Medicare trust fund. In fact, the Obama health-care law also raised Medicare payroll taxes by $318 billion over the new 10-year time frame, further strengthening the program's financial condition.
Under the health-care law, spending does not decrease in Medicare year after year; the reduction is from anticipated levels of spending in future years. Moreover, the "cuts" did not come at the expense of seniors, even though the ad suggests that by having the voiceover refer to cuts to "our Medicare." (Crossroads GPS spokesman Paul Lindsay responded: "If it's not cutting 'our' Medicare then whose is it cutting?")
Moreover, it worth noting the House Republican budget plan retains virtually all of the Medicare "cuts" contained in the health-care law, but diverts them instead to their Medicare overhaul. Not to be a cynic, but one could presume that had it been a Republican plan that had passed, the Democrats would be running ads about the "cuts."
This actually happened back in 1996. Then-President Bill Clinton denounced Republicans for wanting to pass hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicare cuts, and Republicans responded it was merely a "reduction in the rate of growth." As The Fact Checker wrote at the time:
Minutes after Clinton finished, a fuming House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) held his own news conference in Seattle and pronounced himself "very, very disappointed" in Clinton's remarks. He accused the president of making "misleading claims, misleading information and misleading offers" and said Clinton was playing "a political game" that makes negotiating harder.
Adopting a professorial air, Gingrich stood in front of an easel and scribbled figures to underscore his contention that the Republican budget increases Medicare and Medicaid spending over the next seven years. For instance, he said, Medicare spending would go from $926 billion to $1.684 trillion.
"In any reasonable forum, this is not a cut," Gingrich said.
The Pinocchio Test
Unlike wine, tired talking points don't age well. None of these claims are outlandish, but they miss important context and details. In the past they have earned Two Pinocchios, and that is what this ad earns as well.

Running cldc_vm
Hi all,
I've manage to build the phoneME VM, not MIDP on Linux. This is basically for testing. I wrote a little hello world program and tested on
The app only manage to run on cldc_vm_g. For the other 2 VMs, I got a segmentation fault. BTW, I'm using on PCSL and no Javacall. Here is the out put from cldc_vm_r

Pointers appreciated.
What is the gcc version on your machine?
Also try to build product VM (cldc_vm) with PRODUCT_DEBUG=true.
It will build product VM with debugging information.
Check if it runs ok.
Thanks for answering. My version is
[102] gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.1
Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
I will try building it with debug info. BTW can you tell me what is the diff between the the VMs?
cldc_vm_g is a debug VM build. It includes all runtime assertions and debug info. All development command-line options are enabled. Large and slow.
cldc_vm_r is a release VM build. No debug info, few runtime assertions. All development command-line options are enabled.
cldc_vm is a product VM build. Fully optimized for performance and footprint, no debug info, no runtime assertions. Development command-line options are disabled.
It could be useful to try build with older gcc version to check if this is a compiler issue.
Did you manage to solve this problem, I'm having a very similar issue, only diff is that none of my 3 VM's run...?

B. Types of Appointments
5. Temporary
Temporary employees are employed for a specific, usually predetermined, period of time and for no more than 6 months or 900 hours (within a year) if the 900 hours are reached first. A temporary employee may be re-appointed to one additional appointment (not to exceed more than 6 months or 900 hours within a year). Temporary employees are generally hired to replace staff members on leave, assist during peak workload periods or perform seasonal duties. If the projected time and hour commitment is greater than six months or 900 hours per year, a temporary employee may be eligible for the college benefit programs. Their appointment will still require a limited duration of time or hours worked. This action is subject to approval of the applicable vice president in consultation with the Director of Human Resources and the VP/Treasurer.
Temporary employees will be paid on an hourly basis.
Temporary employees must sign a standard agreement with Reed College which specifies the terms and conditions of the appointment, including the specific duration (beginning and ending date) of the appointment.
Temporary employee forms are available from the Human Resources Office. Supervisors must complete a Personnel Action Form attaching a copy of the signed agreement in order to appoint a temporary employee. Temporary employees will be required to complete I-9, W-4, and other appropriate paperwork upon appointment.
Temporary employees are not eligible for benefits except those defined in the benefit section of the policy manual or as required by law.

Carjacking: 'Your best goal in life is to go home safe'
EUGENE, Ore. - A man asked for money for the bus from a University of Oregon student leaving a coffee shop Saturday night.
The student forked over some spare change.
The panhandler pulled a knife.
And in a moment, a routine incident of panhandling turned into a carjacking.
"All of a sudden, this person pulls out a knife, threatens, and tells him he's going to take his car," Lt. Doug Mozan said. "Our victim in this case did the smartest thing he could do in this case, which is comply."
Ross Duer at ATA Martial Arts agreed.
"Your best goal in life is to go home safe," he said. "Everything else can be replaced. Your life can't."
|Anthony Byam (at left, in April; at right, in November)
The suspect in the case, Anthony Jonthan Allen Byam, was arrested after a brief car chase early Sunday morning. He crashed the stolen car and ran from police before being captured.
Byam was arrested in April in Medford after crashing a stolen car and jumping on a bicycle with two flat tires, Oregon State Police said. An officer overtook the bike and used a Taser to take Byam into custody.
Duer and Mozan said here are two simple things you can do to avoid being in a similar situation.
First, be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Second, walk with confidence.
"At all times. Doesn't matter if your male of female, even a young child," Duer said. "We teach them to walk with confidence so they don't get bullied."
And although being generous is a good thing, you still need to makeyour safety a priority.
"There's no reason that a person who's generous needs to be a martyr," Mozan said. "And at the same time, there are a lot of different ways you can help a person in need in your community."

Tucked away in the north western part of the Delhi, Pitampura is a posh locality with a synergy of residential settlements. The area offers a mix of apartments, builder floors, independent houses, and villas with ample availability of space for retail and commercial activity.
Pitampura has its fair share of greenery with parks and recreational facilities. There are a good number of schools, hospitals, theatres, eateries, malls, and shopping complexes. To top it off, the area is bustling with the presence of Dilli Haat, which is the pinnacle of street culture in Pitampura. Spread over 7.2 acres, Dilli Haat is divided into a traditional food bazaar and a commercial area stacked with a variety of handicraft and handloom stalls, and flea markets. It also holds the much anticipated Mango Festival.
The connectivity in Pitampura is well equipped with arterial roads that adjoin the Outer Ring Road towards the east. The major highways and roads that run through and around the area are Asian Highway 1 (AH 1), Outer Ring Road, Guru Harikishan Marg, and Road Number 44, making it well accessed.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Citigroup Inc. shares recovered on Tuesday to close up 1.6% after initially dropping as much as 3% near the open after Vikram Pandit resigned unexpectedly as chief executive, effective immediately.
Michael Corbat, previously Citi's CEO of Europe, Middle East and Africa, will replace Pandit.
The initial shock of the news caught investors off guard, and that almost always triggers the instinct to sell in situations like the Citi C, -0.52% move. But shares recovered, as also is often the case, after some reflection on the departure. Poll: Rate Vikram Pandit's performance at Citi
Wells Fargo analysts offered some of the first positive assessment of the news, writing to clients that, "Corbat's elevation strikes us as a positive for Citi, as it brings an experienced banker into the CEO's role. He is a Citi veteran, with 29 years of experience at the company. In combination with board chairman O'Neill (also a traditional commercial banker) we believe investors and possibly regulators will benefit in the intermediate term from their background as traditional bankers."
And, as David Benoit at The Wall Street Journal's Deal Blog puts it, "Vikram Pandit had long turned to Michael Corbat as a repair man. Now the repair man is running the show...Corbat's experience means he has touched nearly every part of the key Citi businesses, both lending and investment banking both in the U.S. and abroad." Read the full Deal Journal entry on Corbat.
Corbat wasted no time in signalling changes at Citigroup, and in a memo to employees wrote, "As a first step, I'm going to take the next several weeks to immerse myself in the businesses and review reporting structures. These assessments will result in some changes, and I will make sure to communicate these changes with you as decisions are made so that you are informed and updated." See: Corbat's full memo to Citi staff
Reactions on Twitter reflected the confusion. While "Vikram Pandit" was on Twitter's worldwide trends list, most tweets simply announced the news, with the occasional "wow" as added commentary.
Pandit resigns as Citigroup's CEO
Citigroup Chief Executive Vikram Pandit is stepping down, effective immediately, and will be succeeded by Michael Corbat.
"Pandit leaving after a terrific [quarterly result] — very worrisome," tweeted market commentator Jim Cramer. See: Wall Street reaction to the Pandit departure.
"Given the progress we have made in the last few years, I have concluded that now is the right time for someone else to take the helm at Citigroup," Pandit said in a statement. See: Citigroup's Pandit resigns
On Monday, Citigroup reported its third-quarter profit fell 88% to $468 million as the bank took charges tied to the value of its debt and the sale of a stake in its brokerage joint-venture, but core revenue in its main businesses continued to improve. See: Citi's profit falls 88% on charges
Goldman reports strong results
Pandit's surprise move stole some of the thunder from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -1.04% Tuesday as the company reported its own third-quarter results. See: Goldman swings to profit
Goldman said it swung to a third-quarter profit as the firm saw its investment banking and fixed income revenue rise sharply. Goldman shares closed down 1%.

Tracy K. Smith is the author of three books of poetry. Her most recent collection, Life on Mars (Graywolf, 2011), won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and was selected as a New York Times Notable Book. The collection draws on sources as disparate as Arthur C. Clarke and David Bowie, and is in part an elegiac tribute to her late father, an engineer who worked on the Hubble Telescope. Duende (2007) won the 2006 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets and an Essence Literary Award. The Body's Question (2003) was the winner of the 2002 Cave Canem Poetry Prize. Smith was the recipient of a Rona Jaffe Writers Award in 2004 and a Whiting Award in 2005. In 2015, her memoir, Ordinary Light, will be released by Knopf.
Smith's poems embody the lyrical, rhythmic quality of masters such as Lorca. At times political, whimsical, and always meditative, they speak largely to the role of art and to the conception of what it means to be American, dealing with the "evolution and decline of the culture we belong to."Her work also explores the dichotomy between the ordered world and the irrationality of the self, the importance of submitting oneself willingly to the "ongoing conflict"of life and surviving nonetheless. For Smith, in her own words, poetry is a way of "stepping into the mess of experience." After her undergraduate work at Harvard, Smith earned her MFA at Columbia before going on to be a Stegner Fellow in Poetry at Stanford University from 1997 to 1999. She currently teaches Creative Writing at Princeton University, and has also taught at Columbia, City University of New York, and the University of Pittsburgh. She lives in Brooklyn.

Are You At Risk of Spider Veins? It's very possible.
Up to 60% of all Americans suffer from a vein disorder like spider veins or varicose veins.
The cause of spider veins is uncertain, but factors that can weaken vein valves include heredity, aging, obesity, leg injury, hormone fluctuation, pregnancy and prolonged standing. Spider veins on the face of a fair-skinned person can occur from exposure to the sun.
Spider veins can look unattractive, and can worsen over time if not treated. The skin at or around the spider veins can also itch or burn.
Spider veins are usually quite small and are visible on the skin surface. They are formed when the one-way valves inside the tiny veins become damaged or do not work properly for any of the reasons listed above. If a valve does become damaged, it can increase pressure on the area of the vein preceding it, which in turn causes that area to enlarge until, finally, a spider vein is "born".
