NEWPORT CITY – The state auditor's office needs more transparency and more accountability, said Democrat Doug Hoffer who is challenging Vince Illuzzi for the position of state auditor in November.
"I think people have the right to expect that the auditor's office audit itself," Hoffer said. "Right now, if you were curious about the auditor's budget, you could never find the details because he doesn't post them."
Hoffer stressed that current auditor Tom Salmon, who is not seeking reelection, does not keep the information a secret and will provide it upon request.
NEWPORT CITY – The November General Election is about eight weeks away and Democrats are moving full speed ahead in an effort to outdo their Republican counterparts. Friday evening, local Democrats held a launch party at the Gateway Center where area residents had the chance to meet party candidates, enjoy refreshments and take in breathtaking views of Lake Memphremagog.
The message Orleans County Chair Judy Bevans took away from the Democratic National Convention earlier this month is that the party has a message: "Press it Forward."

LOWELL – The final oversized truckload shipment destined for Green Mountain Power's wind turbine farm on Lowell Mountain will roll through today, but will take a different route.
The final truckload will contain the repaired tower base, which was damaged in a rollover accident on Interstate 91 in mid-July.
At the time of the accident, the truck driver reportedly got too close to the shoulder of the road and the trailer rolled causing some damage to the component. Roadwork was occurring on the Interstate at the time of the incident. No injuries were reported.
DERBY - Some residents of Derby experienced a temporary power outage Sunday when a motor vehicle ran into and snapped a utility pole, downing lines on RT 5 in Derby.
Joannalynn Robishaw of Derby, VT, was north of Walt's Sales and Service and headed towards Derby in this Dodge Caravan when she went to reach for an item and her vehicle drifted into the northbound lane of travel, said police. To avoid hitting an oncoming car, Robishaw crossed the northbound lane and struck a telephone pole, snapping it in half.
COVENTRY – Selectmen and Coventry Treasurer Cindy Diaz will meet at the Community Center tonight to discuss a situation report, submitted by Vermont Auditor Tom Salmon in August, that raises some questions about accounting practices in the town office.
Diaz is also the town clerk.
"I don't know if there is enough in that report to really say there is any wrongdoing or not," said Coventry Select Board Chair Mike Marcotte. "I think we need to continue on with this report and an audit of our own that will work off this." Â
NEWPORT–Eighth grader Caleb DeLaBruere score his first career varsity goal with 22:00 left to play in the first half, and that is all UCA would need as they one the second game of the UCA/Craftsbury Academy doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.
"I was just really, really excited," said DeLaBruere about his tally. "I didn't think it was going to go in at first."
The win was a huge one to say the least as it puts UCA over .500 for the first time in a couple of years.
NEWPORT–The first match of the year between the UCA and Craftsbury Academy girls went down to the wire as it took 89:26 of play before Craftsbury's Meghan Brown was able to get one past UCA's Lydia Saaman in overtime to give the Chargers the win.
"I was really happy when the ball crossed the line and we won," said an enthusiastic Brown after the game. "I thought our team worked really well together and we moved to the ball a lot better today."
"It could have gone either way," said Craftsbury coach Ashley Maxfield. "It was just dumb luck that the ball went in for us first."

FORT MYERS, Fla. - One North Port husband is on a mission to improve 911 call centers.
Nathan Lee traveled to Washington, D.C. Monday to speak with the FCC and find better ways to track 911 cellphone calls.
"With today's technology, 911 should be able to pinpoint an exact location 100% of the time," Lee said. "We can pull out our cellphones and find out where we are in seconds, but for some reason the communication between the wireless carriers and 911 isn't seamless, there's been issues."
Those issues hit close to home for Lee. His wife, Denise Amber Lee, was abducted from their North Port home in 2008. She was able to call 911 from her abductor's car, but operators weren't able to track her location. Her body was found in a shallow grave days later.

Raku ware was created in 16th century Japan for ritual tea drinking. The Japanese tea ceremony, with its roots in Zen Buddhism, is a kind of meditation. The underlying philosophies are harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. The Raku type of tea bowl with a natural and unpretentious style and earthy colors was developed to enhance the experience of those participating in the ceremony.
Raku is a very hands on process. The tea bowls are fashioned by hand to be thick enough to keep the bowl from becoming too hot to hold, but thin enough to warm up and retain the warmth of the tea. Raku ware is removed from the kiln while still glowing hot, causing a forced cooling at air temperature that is a thermal shock treatment. The low firing temperature keeps the clay from completely hardening. This gives the tea bowls the insulating qualities that keep the tea warm longer and a softer feel, which makes them more appealing to hold in the hand. The distinctive sound the Raku tea bowls gives when struck is valued in the Zen experience of the Japanese tea ceremony.
Zen Buddhism originated in India and subsequently traveled to China in the sixth century A.D. where it developed further. Tea drinking in Japan dates back to the eighth century, when tea was introduced by Japanese monks trained in China. The monks originally used tea to help them stay awake during long sessions of meditation. Ritual tea drinking was first practiced in Japan during the Kamakura period (1192-1333) by Zen monks. In the 13th century, samurai, Japan's warrior aristocracy, took it up. During the 15th century ritual tea drinking became an eclectic social art form where a group of friends gathered in an isolated atmosphere to drink tea and discuss the aesthetic merits of paintings, calligraphy and flower arrangements on display in the Tokorama of the teahouse. The tea ceremony developed in the brilliant and luxurious days of Higoshiyama and Monoyama. Passing through the hands of Shuko and Sho-o it finally took shape under those of Sen Rikyu as Cha-no-yu, or the "way of tea."
Sen-No-Rikyu, a tea master at the 16th century court of the military dictator Toyotomi Hedeyoshi, codified the ceremony into a style known as wabi, meaning simplicity, quietude and absence of ornament. Rikyu became an art director and commissioned craftsmen to create original objects in this new sensibility so this period of Japanese ceramics is call Cha-no-yu.
Tea bowls in the Cha-no-yu period are divided into three classes: Chinese, Korean and Japanese. The Chinese Temmoku and Celadon tea bowls are artistically fine and pleasing to look at, but they are not good for tea drinking because of their hardness. Korean potters kidnapped during invasions of Korea developed their own line of organic and rustic pottery in Japan.
The originator of Raku was Chojiro, the son of a Chinese emigrant. When Shogun Hideyoshi built the pleasure pavilion Ju-raku-tei he brought Chojiro to live there and had him make tiles and tea utensils. Chojiro was given an income so that he did no more commercial work and was formally appointed tea bowl maker to work under Rikyu. Hediyoshi gave Chojiro a golden seal bearing the second character of Ju-raku-tei, and hence the character "Raku" was stamped on his tiles and pottery. His wares were usually glazed with one or two colors. It is known as Raku ware and is still classified as either black or red ware. Chojiro adopted the term "Raku" as the name of the family producing the ware, not in the character's normal sense of "joy" or "ease."
The Japanese tea masters developed a sensibility called wabi-sabi. The first recorded wabi-sabi tea master was Murata Shuko (1423-1502), a Zen monk from Nara. About a hundred years after Shukos innovations came Sen-No-Rikyu (1522-1591). The closest English equivalent to wabi-sabi is "rustic." It shares some characteristics with what we call "primitive art," that is objects that are earthy, simple, unpretentious and fashioned out of natural materials. Wabi-sabi was a reaction to Chinese perfection, much as our own Modernism is a reaction to Classicism.
Wabi is what the tea master Sen-No-Rikyu and his successors endeavored to create with the rustic teahouse, the bowl of muted colors and the single flower immaculately arrange in the dark alcove. The Japanese tearoom was much like an ordinary study in its furnishing with boxes for stationary, ink stone, bookstand, incense burner and flower vase. Since the tearoom is modeled on the pure spotless ideal world of Buddhism meditation, all luxury and all ostentation must be avoided.
A consequence of this belief led educated men to leave their rich palaces and comfortable homes to stay in a poor hut in the forest or by a lake away from the world and concentrate on just being. It was used by the powerful to escape the demands of the day-to-day.
Chojiro probably glaze-fired his Raku ware in a coal or wood-burning muffle kiln and watched the firing through a hole in the lid. (The muffle kiln is a thin-walled cylinder protecting the ware from direct contact with flames; it is like a protective box or saggar, but is permanently part of the kiln structure.) When the color of the kiln's interior was right, the ware would be removed red-hot from the kiln with long-handled tongs and would be quenched by immersing it in a concentrated solution of green tea.
The American method of glaze firing Raku ware differs from the Japanese method in that after the red-hot piece is removed from the kiln, instead of quenching it, the piece is placed in a metal can with a combustible material, like paper. The combustible material ignites, and the fire and smoke reacts with the glaze to create a very unique and unpredictable effect on the surface of the pottery. This process is called post-fire reduction. After about 20 minutes, when the can has cooled down, the piece is cooled quickly with water mist to freeze the colors.
Using a combustible material in a metal can was discovered by accident in 1960 by American professor Paul Soldner during a demonstration of the Raku process. The piece he was moving from the kiln to the quenching bath fell into some dried leaves and ignited them. He liked the results, so the post-reduction process was born.

Respond to Review of Light Vegetarian Restaurant
by beerzuki
Review: This place has a huge neon sign and is very easy to spot. We went upstairs for a la carte dinner. All of the staff were very friendly and the service was very good. The meals are large, tasty and well presented at about $60HK each, they are amazing value!($8 US/$10 AUD). Us 2 girls shared the mushroom congee, the honey bbq 'pork' and the beancurd on noodles. I brought a container and took away enough for breakfast! My only complaint is the lack fresh/raw/non-oily options, and this is why they only get four cows. (the congee was one of the healthier looking choices, mind you, it was GORGEOUS!). Three meals and two jasmine teas cost $190 HK ($24/$30)...the place looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. I am not sure whether the buffet offers more healthy options...a great excuse to go back and find out!

London 2012 medalist pleased with University of Bath workout
Posted: February 04, 2013|
Olympic bronze medallist Hansle Parchment has completed a week-long training spell at the University of Bath, working alongside vastly-experienced British Athletics lead hurdles coach Malcolm Arnold.
Parchment, who made history at London 2012 by winning Jamaica's first-ever hurdling medal, was joined by fellow athlete Indira Spence and coach Fitz Coleman at the Sports Training Village.
"I've had a really good time - the facilities are great, some of the best I've seen," said 22-year-old Parchment, who has set his sights on winning World Championship gold in Moscow this summer.
"I'd like to come back to Bath, although it's a little cold compared with Jamaica. I've enjoyed training with the group and I like the camaraderie, it's like a family.
"Malcolm is a great coach and it's been a pleasure to come here and learn a few things from him. I hope to use that to the best of my ability and show some improvement this year.
"First I've got to make the team for the World Championships but I feel confident I can do that. My aim is then to win it. I set my goals high. I'll go out there and give it my all."
Coleman, a distinguished hurdles coach and former technical director at the IAAF, hopes last week's visit to Bath will be the first of many.
"Malcolm is an icon in the sport," he said. "We thought it would be a good to exchange ideas and it has definitely worked out.
"The facilities here are fantastic and we've thoroughly enjoyed being here. If the opportunity affords itself we'd love to come back.
"You can't lose with this kind of collaboration. It's not going to be a one-off, we're going to stay in touch."
The link up came about through Colin Jackson, who was coached to World Championships gold by Arnold, and was supported by sports brand Puma.
Arnold's training group at Bath includes world 400m hurdles champion Dai Greene and London 2012 Olympians Andy Pozzi, Jack Green, Eilidh Child and Lawrence Clarke, who was edged into fourth place by Parchment at the Olympics.
Nathan Woodward and Irish hurdler Jessie Barr are also recent additions to the group.
Arnold's impressive track record includes coaching legendary Ugandan athlete John Akii-Bua to the Munich 1972 Olympic title and Bath bullet Jason Gardener to gold in the 4x100m relay at Athens 2004.

- Place the asparagus in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Chop the asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the melted butter. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread; reserve the cutouts.
- Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey slices until they are browned around the edges, about 3 minutes.
- Add the asparagus and cook until it is heated through, about 2 minutes, then season with the pepper. Transfer the mixture to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Place 2 of the bread slices and cutouts in the same skillet and crack one egg into the hole of each slice. Cook until the egg whites are set and the bread is toasted on the underside, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the bread/egg slices and cutouts and cook an additional 1 minute. Transfer the bread/egg pieces to individual plates. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and cutouts. Top each one with 1/4 of the turkey-asparagus mixture. Arrange the cutouts on each plate.

Archive for the 'Cerberus Capital Management' tag
not the first time bankers had their hands on Dodge
Today's news that Cerberus Capital Management bought (80.1 percent of) the Chrysler Group from DaimlerChrysler for $7.4 billion has drawn some remarks along the lines of "who's Cerberus?" Answer: typical Wall Street buy-low-sell-high prospector. Also, not the first such group to hold a stake in at least part of the Chrysler empire.
When the famous Dodge brothers, Horace and John, died in 1920, their then-six-year-old automotive company fell into the ownership of their widows, who actually continued to hold on to the company for five years, with Frederick Haynes at the helm. However, the falling fortunes of Dodge at the time led them to sell the company – not to Chrysler, as you might assume, but to Dillon, Read and Company, another Wall Street banking firm. The $146 million purchase price made headlines as the largest cash transaction for an automobile company to date.
Dillon, Read and Company held on to Dodge for three years, but couldn't hold on to the market share, and thus sold Dodge to Chrysler in 1928 for $170 million in stock, making a tidy profit.
So why did I lead this post off with a photo of a 1923 Locomobile? Albert M. Barnes, the car's original owner, is best known for his role in orchestrating the 1925 purchase of Dodge as a (senior, apparently) partner in Dillon, Read. Hemmings Classic Cars readers will find both the car and the story familiar – we featured it in the March 2005 issue (HCC #6) of the magazine.
Will history repeat itself? Does Cerberus even have an inkling of an idea of this history? Or have they done their homework and realized that car guys – and not bankers – are the best choice to run a car company?

"Megamind" is a clever movie made by people who should have pushed themselves beyond cleverness.
An animated comedy that wants to walk the same snarky/sweet line as this year's "Despicable Me," "Megamind" is littered with good ideas that go nowhere and bad ideas that somebody hoped we wouldn't notice, such as a sequence in which skyscrapers topple. Because this is a comedy, I guess we're not supposed to wonder if there are any people in those crumbling skyscrapers, but since the scene resembles the events of 9/11, how can we not?
The best idea — in fact, a brilliant idea — was casting Will Ferrell as the title character, a klutzy supervillain who vanquishes the good guy (Metro Man, voiced by Brad Pitt, whose part is fairly small) in the first scenes and then gets bored. As he says, in a comment that could easily be the title of an inspirational book available at Christian shops everywhere, "What's the point of being bad when there's no good to stop you?"
Ferrell has occasionally been monotonous in live-action films — there's a limit to how many idiots-who-don't-know-it he can play, and he has passed it — but "Megamind" is his freshest role since he knocked "Elf" out of the park. Using a syrupy, mid-Atlantic accent, Ferrell makes Megamind come off like a Fargo, N.D., dinner-theater actor who believes he should be doing Lear on Broadway. Megamind is a boorish ham (at one point, he disguises himself as Marlon Brando in "Superman," a joke not one person in "Megamind's" target audience of tykes will get), but Ferrell also finds the tender heart in this ogre, and he makes sure we're rooting for Megamind instead of arrogantly perfect Metro Man.
Ferrell and Tina Fey, as a newswoman with whom he's obsessed, have been given snappy lines (Fey, abducted for the millionth time: "Could someone please stamp my frequent-kidnapping card?"). But the script fails to capitalize on the intriguing concept that good and evil need each other because the screenwriters apparently don't know their Bible, or their "Paradise Lost" or their "Dark Knight," for crying out loud. And the cynical humor pretty much rules out the possibility of "Megamind" having a heart.
The weird thing is that anyone who watches "Megamind" will be able to spot the problem: Megamind doesn't know what to do after he vanquishes Metro Man, and neither does the movie.

Overheard Today Outside Boalt Hall:
. . . I mean, 'Nuts & Boalts.'"
Labels: N 'n B
Stories from the fruits and nuts of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (Boalt Hall)
Labels: N 'n B
Can we PLEASE rename it to Butts and Noalts??
jw, what was everyone's school of undergrad? i'm a sophomore who follows this blog, nerdy i know...
The top two undergrad schools represented at Boalt has been UC Berkeley and UCLA for quite some time now. Not sure what other schools are up there, but those two have the most.
Granted, there are probably more applications from those two schools, and they are big schools.
Sarah, I know people here from all kinds of undergrad institutions. Obviously the Ivys are well represented, along with strong state schools like UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan, Virginia, and their ilk. But that's not to say you have to go somewhere in the US News top 25 to get in. I know people from Utah, Kansas, and New Mexico, just to name a few. There's also a good amount of liberal arts college people, from Williams, Swarthmore, etc.
Basically the deal seems to be that stellar grades at an average school = ok grades from a good school. So if you're at some less prestigious place, just strive to get as many A's as you can, obviously. It's going to come down to that and your LSAT score, although Berkeley also considers "soft" factors more seriously than most schools.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
If there is a neurological component to your neck or back injury, time becomes your worst enemy, says neurosurgeon Thomas Morrison of Peachtree Neurosurgery, P.C. in an article published on the georgia1st.com web site.
Neurosurgeons like Dr. Morrison recognize nerve involvement in an injury when a patient experiences numbness, tingling, burning or muscle weakness. When the nerve becomes inflamed, pain may radiate down from the nerve root into your extremities.
Nerve involvement in a spinal injury must be treated quickly because nerves do not regenerate like muscles, and the pain can be intense. If you have ever experienced sciatica (nerve pain running down you legs), you know how debilitating nerve pain can be. In the workers' compensation world, insurance companies are notorious for turning a treatable neurological injury into a permanent, lifelong impairment by delaying treatment.
In my view, delaying treatment for a neurological injury is counterproductive because it will result in a longer recovery and decreases the odds that a injured claimant will return to work. However, many insurance adjusters open their claims files with the assumption that the injured worker is faking or malingering, so delayed treatment is quite common.
Perhaps my most heated battles with insurance adjusters and defense attorneys arise from disputes about the need for prompt care of a client's neurological injury. Often I am successful in convincing the insurance company to approve appropriate treatment for neurological injuries. Sometimes, unfortunately, the insurance company will not relent and we have to request a hearing, resulting in months long delays in treatment.
I can say with certainty that the sooner we recognize that your injury may involve neurological complications, the sooner I can advocate on your behalf for appropriate treatment with a qualified physician.
If you are experiencing pain or numbness in your arms or legs, and your posted panel doctor does not seem to be addressing the problem or listening to you, please pick up the phone and call me for advice about how to proceed. My number is 770-351-0801.

For decades, skiers from southern Wisconsin have traveled north to the American Birkebeiner. On Thursday, January 8, the Birkie will come south, looking to lure donations for a capital campaign to secure and build a permanent start area near the Telemark Resort.
Michele Andrews loves to ski. After returning from a trip over Mackinac Bridge last winter, she couldn't say enough good things about the cross-country skiing she found near Munising and Marquette. "You have to ski there!" she insisted. I knew right then that I was going to be making a trip to the U.P.

Unearthed: Gingrich Makes the Case for GSE's on Freddie Mac's Web Site in 2007/2008
Morgen on December 1, 2011 at 6:21 am
I'm a little late with this – it's been at least a couple of weeks since Bloomberg broke the story that Newt Gingrich received $1.6 million in consulting fees from Freddie Mac over a decade or so. With Gingrich currently rocketing up the polls it's safe to say he survived the initial controversy over this, but I think questions over this are going to continue to dog his campaign. Gingrich has defended the work he did for Freddie Mac claiming that he was hired only to provide strategic advice as a "historian", and that he had warned upper management that their lending practices were "insane" in the years leading up to the housing market collapse. But former officials from Freddie Mac described his role quite a bit differently, according to the Bloomberg story (emphasis added).
Former Freddie Mac officials familiar with his work in 2006 say Gingrich was asked to build bridges to Capitol Hill Republicans and develop an argument on behalf of the company's public-private structure that would resonate with conservatives seeking to dismantle it.
He was expected to provide written material that could be circulated among free-market conservatives in Congress and in outside organizations, said two former company executives familiar with Gingrich's role at the firm. He didn't produce a white paper or any other document the firm could use on its behalf, they said.
I did a little digging on the Internet Archive and it sure looks to me like Gingrich delivered on at least part of what was suggested above. From a section of Freddie Mac's web site in April 2007 labeled "Policy Talk":
Q: A key element of the entrepreneurial model is using the private sector where possible to save taxpayer dollars and improve efficiency. And you believe the GSE model provides one way to use the private sector.
Gingrich: Some activities of government – trash collection is a good example – can be efficiently contracted out to the private sector. Other functions – the military, police and fire protection – obviously must remain within government. And then there are areas in which a public purpose would be best achieved by using market-based models. I think GSEs provide one of those models. I like the GSE model because it provides a more efficient, market-based alternative to taxpayer-funded government programs. It marries private enterprise to a public purpose. We obviously don't want to use GSEs for everything, but there are times when private enterprise alone is not sufficient to achieve a public purpose. I think private enterprise alone is not going to be able to help the Gulf region recover from the hurricanes, and government will not get the job done in a very effective or efficient manner. We should be looking seriously at creating a GSE to help redevelop this region. We should be looking at whether and how the GSE model could help us address the problem of financing health care. I think a GSE for space exploration ought to be seriously considered – I'm convinced that if NASA were a GSE, we probably would be on Mars today.
Certainly there is a lot of debate today about the housing GSEs, but I think it is telling that there is strong bipartisan support for maintaining the GSE model in housing. There is not much support for the idea of removing the GSE charters from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. And I think it's clear why. The housing GSEs have made an important contribution to homeownership and the housing finance system. We have a much more liquid and stable housing finance system than we would have without the GSEs. And making homeownership more accessible and affordable is a policy goal I believe conservatives should embrace. Millions of people have entered the middle class through building wealth in their homes, and there is a lot of evidence that homeownership contributes to stable families and communities. These are results I think conservatives should embrace and want to extend as widely as possible. So while we need to improve the regulation of the GSEs, I would be very cautious about fundamentally changing their role or the model itself.
Q: This is not a point of view one normally associates with conservatives.
Gingrich: Well, it's not a point of view libertarians would embrace. But I am more in the Alexander Hamilton-Teddy Roosevelt tradition of conservatism. I recognize that there are times when you need government to help spur private enterprise and economic development. Look at our own history. The government provided railroad land grants to encourage widespread adoption of what was then the most modern form of transportation to help develop our country. The Homestead Act essentially gave land away to those willing to live on it and develop it. We used what were in effect public-private partnerships to bring telephone service and electricity to every community in our nation. All of these are examples of government bringing about desired public purposes without creating massive, taxpayer-funded bureaucracies. To me that is a pragmatic and effective conservative approach.
It's hard to imagine more wasteful, taxpayer-funded bureaucracies than the sinkholes that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have become, but of course it's easy to criticize Gingrich's comments with the benefit of hindsight. What is probably most notable here is that by laying out a broad case in defense of the GSE's, on Freddie Mac's web site no less, it seems somewhat implausible that at the same time Gingrich was privately criticizing Freddie Mac's lending practices and warning management that the market was headed towards a collapse.
But let's say this is also true, there is no getting around the fact that Gingrich leveraged his credibility in defense of Freddie Mac and the GSE's in general, at a time when he was receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars as a paid consultant. Whether these were his principled opinions at the time or not (and I believe they were), it defies belief to imagine that this commentary was not provided as part of his consulting arrangement, and obviously this is exactly what the former (albeit unnamed) executives from Freddie Mac claim he was paid to do.
I think many conservatives would take issue with Gingrich's stance on the merits of GSE's in general. It seems to me that GSE's are the ideal model if the goal is to privatize profits while socializing losses, thus making them magnets for graft and corruption. But I believe Gingrich has been a consistent supporter of public/private partnerships, and so the issue here is more one of credibility.
In response to the Bloomberg story, in an interview with Laura Ingraham, Gingrich pretty much flatly denied that he had made a conservative case for GSE's on behalf of Freddie Mac. Instead, he would have us believe that had Freddie Mac followed his sage advice they would not have ended up in the predicament they ultimately found themselves in. But the simple fact of the matter is at the very height of the housing bubble, when perhaps tens of billions of dollars in losses could still have been averted, Gingrich took a very clear and very public position in support of Freddie Mac and the market function they performed, while serving as a paid consultant. And it seems to me that he has yet to fully own up to this.
Also. I'd sure like to know exactly what Gingrich had in mind when speculating whether GSE's might play a role in financing health care. Because this sounds an awful lot like some of the ideas floating around for a "public option" in 2009.
Update: GSE is an acronym for "Government Sponsored Enterprise", with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac being the most prominent examples (though they are now under full government conservatorship). I was remiss in not defining this term in the initial post.
Also, we've posted recent video clips which suggest Gingrich has not been fully candid regarding the work he did for Freddie Mac here and here. As I said elsewhere, either Gingrich knew Freddie Mac's lending practices were contributing to an unsustainable housing bubble headed for collapse, as he now claims, and yet accepted money to publicly defend them anyway. Or he is now stretching the truth about his assessment of Freddie Mac's problems at the time, and the advice he privately gave them. Neither of these scenarios is very good.

The War Against Terror Must Be Fought With Words TooIn News on September 26, 2013 at 9:19 am
Margaret Thatcher famously referred to publicity as the oxygen on which terrorists depend. Ayman al-Zawahiri, who replaced Osama bin Laden as the leader of al-Qaeda, agrees, claiming that his organization and its enemies are "in a race for the hearts and minds of our umma [the Muslim community]" and that more than half the war is taking place on the "battlefield of the media." Their goal is to spread a false narrative — that the West aims to humiliate Muslims and destroy Islam. We who aim to stop them have been slow to respond with a counternarrative — that jihadists are killing innocents, the vast majority of whom are Muslim; that they are exploiting vulnerable youth as cannon fodder; that jihad is not an adventure; and that our goal is to fight terrorists, not to harm Muslims or disrespect Islam.
So it was long overdue when the State Department's Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications (CSCC) announced it would be launching a media campaign called "Think Again" aimed at English speakers considering joining jihadist groups. An earlier effort in Arabic, Punjabi, Somali and Urdu appears to be successful. Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, involved in developing the original campaign, says, "We could see that the bad guys were watching and were concerned" that the videos could harm their recruitment drives. The new campaign signals the CSCC's recognition that they must also target American or European would-be jihadists with Western passports.

If you can find four flute cutters to fit your collets, you'll find them much more robust than two flute. Or... If the collets will take 6mm shanks, you have a wide choice of three flute disposable carbide cutters that can be run at 7-10,000RPM.
Thanks. I can only fit 1/8" shank cutters into our machine (Excellon). I did find a company selling a 3/32" cutter with an 1/8" shank suuitable for cutting metal so I might try one of those.

I might have some 1/8" shank solid carbide cutters (four flute), if not I can put you in touch with a UK supplier. Ping me in a day or so if I haven't gotten back (doing the night shift tonight).

Lake Homes are Special, and the Minneapolis & St. Paul areas of Minnesota are filled with gorgeous lakefront properties of all types. From weekend cabins to multi-million dollar mansions, the 1,700 lakes surrounding the Twin Cities give lakeshore real estate buyers plenty of waterfront options to choose from.
During our many years as professional Realtors, we've worked with thousands of buyers in search of their dream property on the lake. We revel in the challenge of helping a relocation or local buyer pinpoint exactly which part of the Twin Cities provides the perfect waterfront - and sometimes non-waterfront - setting for their particular needs.
Because we specialize in about a 100 mile diameter of the Metro Area, we can help you narrow down the types of lakes, rivers or non-water settings that fit your criteria best, based on your price range and desires in a home. In fact, many of our buyers end up off the water, because we are able to help them make realistic decisions quickly and show them surrounding communities that have the amenities they fall in love with.
Below is a list of towns or water bodies surrounding the Minneapolis & St. Paul Area that each have their own unique waterfront lifestyle. They are all generally within an hour of the downtown metro area, and we have shown and sold lake or river properties in all of these communities.
...Plus Many More!
If you're in the market for Twin Cities Waterfront,
we're just a call away from making it a reality!

Exploration Process
Make a well informed decision when selecting a college major. University Studies offers a step by step, systematic process for students to learn about themselves and their options for a major at RIT. This takes time and effort and a bit of energy and enthusiasm but the results will be worth it. Start your exploration now by clicking on the topics below.
Career Exploration Seminar
This required one-credit hour course focuses on individual/personal assessment. Students explore their interests, values and skills through career inventories including the Strong Interest Inventory and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, and various self guided worksheets on personal values and skills analysis.
Through class led discussions, reflective activities, and individual appointments, students use their assessment findings to research potential RIT majors and career fields.
Individualized Advising
University Studies students are assigned an advisor who will assist them every step of the way through the exploration process. This advisor will know his or her students personally as they transition to college and discover their final major.
Sampling Courses
One of the most important components of deciding on a major is experiencing the major or a content area through "sample courses".
Here is what a sample schedule of an exploring USP student looking at programs across three colleges might look like and why.
Sampling three majors that span three colleges:
- Engineering (Kate Gleason College of Engineering),
- Packaging Science (College of Applied Science and Technology) and
- Psychology (College of Liberal Arts)
- Career Exploration Seminar - A unique course where students complete a variety of assessments and major exploration activities.
- Discovery - First Year Enrichment - A course for all first year students entering RIT in the Fall of 2012 that introduces them to what it is like to be an RIT student and that provides guidance in the transition from high school to college.
Possible Sample Options
- Project Based Calculus I - Using the Math Placement Exam scores, we place students in the highest level math for the most mobility across majors at RIT.
- Intro to Psychology - Provides a look into psychology and fulfills a liberal arts and sciences perspectives education requirement if student doesn't change into Psychology.
- Principles of Packaging - Recommended sample course for Packaging Science.
- First Year Writing - Required 1st year liberal arts and sciences writing requirement.
- Engineering Exploration Seminar - Recommended sample course which reviews all the engineering majors in that college.
Your advisor will get to know you to make the best recommendation for sample courses that fit your interests.
Finding an RIT Major
Once students translate their career assessments into possible RIT majors, students will start their major research by identifying majors of interest in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
Completing a "Pro/Cons" worksheet for top three majors of interest helps guide a student through a process of exploring what they may like and dislike about a program, often leading to a list of questions for a department chairperson such as "What type of job will I have with a degree in Motion Picture Science or Environmental Sustainability, Health and Safety?"
Meeting with an RIT Department
Once students have narrowed down their interests, identified a few programs of study, and completed a "Pros/Cons" or "Department Meeting Prep Sheet", meeting with departments will help clarify and validate interests. This gives students the opportunity to ask questions about careers, study abroad, and the process for changing into that college major.

FORT DRUM Before West Point takes on the Naval Academy in football this afternoon, a pair of soldiers from post will be honored in a pregame ceremony with Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Army chief of staff.
The Recognition of Valor ceremony will honor eight soldiers and sailors for their action in duty. Representing Fort Drum will be Capt. Ross C. Pixler, of the 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, and Spc. Bryon Dilberian, a triple amputee from the 3rd Battalion, 85th Mountain Infantry Regiment, better known as the Warrior Transition Unit.
Capt. Pixler received a Silver Star and a Purple Heart after his unit sustained a pair of improvised explosive device attacks in Iraq in 2007.
To be honored in this way and to represent the division and 1st Brigade, its a true honor, Capt. Pixler said. Im very humbled.
He said he will be a part of the brigades deployment to Afghanistan early next year. This weekends game will be the first time he has been able to attend an Army-Navy game since he graduated from West Point in 2005.
Spc. Dilberian, who was traveling Friday, could not be reached.
During the game, a video created by Sgt. Bryan L. James, of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, will be shown. He was one of the winners of an Armywide contest to make videos to run on the stadiums video screens during the game.
A tribute to the 10th Mountain Division also will be seen on the field. Running backs from West Point will wear the divisions patch on their uniforms.
The classic football rivalry game, which will be played today in Philadelphia, Pa., is in its 113th year.

Darts is a game that is played worldwide and as such, there are many
variations of what is basically the same game. The main game would be 301, 501
or 901. The game is the same in all of these versions, simply the starting
point differs. The starting point always ends in 01.
The object of the game is simple... each player starts with the same score (eg
301 or 501) and the first to reduce his score to zero wins. Players take turns
throwing three darts each. The points scored are added up and the total is then
deducted from the original starting score. Darts that bounce off the Dart Board
or miss the scoring segment of the Board, do not score at all. These Darts
cannot be thrown again in that turn.
The difficult part of the game is certainly the finish. To win the game, you
must reach zero before your opponent. You must reach zero exactly and the dart
that reduces your score to zero, must be a double. Doubles consist of the
numbers in the outside narrow scoring band and the centre (small) bullseye,
which counts as 50 points. The centre bull is actually a double of the outer
25-point bull.
This means that if you have 4 points left, you must hit a double 2 to bring the
score down to zero. From 24 points, a double 12 would be needed. If you have an
odd number left, so that a double finish is impossible, then darts must be
thrown to reduce the score to an even number, before then throwing a double.
Eg. From 19 points left, there is effectively no double out available. One
way to finish would be to throw a single 3 first, reducing the score to 16. The
16 can then be obtained by throwing a double 8.
The games of 501, 601, 801, 1001, etc. are all played the same way, the only
difference being that you are starting with more points. Because 301 is a
relatively short game, most venues start the game with a double. That means
that each player must hit a double (any number), before their scoring actually
commences. Each player begins scoring with the first double that is obtained.
Players generally play a Best of 3, or 5, Legs.
This is merely a guide and a basic outline of the scoring methods. It is by
no means intended to cover all aspects of all Darts Games. We advise you to
read one of the many books that are available as knowing the rules and objectives,
will significantly increase your enjoyment.
One of the best books on the market would be Getting To The Point by Barry
Atkinson. Barry was a professional Darts Player that enjoyed significant
success in Australia and on the World Professional Darts Circuit. In his book
there are the rules and instructions for many games, together with countless
tips and hints that will assist every player, from Beginner to the Seasoned

"The star of the evening was Maykel Solas. As the only male character in Paquita, he burst onto the stage with infectious energy. For a good chunk of the story, each of the female dancers gets to show her stuff…But when it was Solas' turn, the energy level amped up. Leaping like a gazelle, light as a bird, with muscular legs sculpted like a Rodin, watching him made me want to get up and jump and run."
Beeri Moalem, Examiner.com
"Led by impressive principals Amy Marie Briones and Maykel Solas, who delivered many breathtaking moments of virtuosity, they were supported by other sterling soloists and a disciplined corps de ballet."
Paul Myvold, Out and About
"Amy Marie Briones in the
pas de deux
(with Maykel Solas), and even more so in her 'Harp' variation, showed herself as a major talent with legs of steel, feathery feet and an instinctive musicality. Juna Ige's allegro dancing was adorable with good phrasing and pristine finishes. Shannon Bynum brought easy swing to her attitudes."
Rita Felciano, San Jose Mercury News
"…Amy Marie Briones, in the featured female role, hit the high notes. An exacting dancer with a knack for uncanny stillness on point, she stitched out her steps with fluid precision. Near the end, as if she'd stored up all her energy for it, Briones whirled with gyroscopic drive."
Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
"…the smiling Maykel Solas, leaping around the stage with legs extended, turning with great speed/velocity and dancing with rhythm and elegance, was formidable."
Iride Aparicio, La Oferta Review

AMD's single-core product lineup is left with seven models with the Athlon 64 3800+, 3500+ and 3200+ in Socket AM2, 939 and energy efficient configurations. Most of the Sempron desktop lineup has fallen below the $100 mark, with the exception of the Sempron 3600+ which is $101.
AMD isn't planning any more price cuts in the near future, so it may be ample time to get an Athlon if you've been waiting. It's good to see the prices still being competitive with Intel, though the cost of current-gen CPUs on both sides seems to be a bit hard to take for many.

(+) Post hoc analysis of RAPID 1
The post hoc analysis of the RAPID 1 study aimed to determine if a more rapid response to certolizumab pegol, together with MTX, was associated with better long-term improvements in physical function, and relief of pain and fatigue, in the treatment of active RA in patients who did not respond to conventional treatment. Patients who responded to treatment with certolizumab pegol 200 mg every two weeks by Week 12 were divided into two subgroups: The earlier Week 6 responders and later Week 12 responders based on responder definitions: ACR20 response or DAS28 change of greater than or equal to 1.2 from baseline. The early Week 6 DAS and ACR20 responders had a higher probability of achieving ACR20/50/70 scores at Week 52 (p < 0.001). By ACR20 definition, 83.1% of the early Week 6 responders maintained an ACR20 response at Week 52 compared to 66.7% of the later Week 12 responders (p < 0.001).
(++) Open label extension study to RAPID 1(028)
The Phase III, open-label extension (OLE) study to RAPID 1 is investigating the long-term efficacy and safety of subcutaneous certolizumab pegol (400 mg every 2 weeks) together with methotrexate in the treatment of signs and symptoms and in the prevention of joint damage in patients with active RA. Patients completing RAPID 1 through 52 weeks (completers), or who were ACR20 nonresponders at Week 12 (confirmed at Week 14) and were to be withdrawn from the study at Week 16 (withdrawers), could continue in the 028 study. The open-label extension study continued to evaluate the effects of certolizumab pegol( )over two years. This analysis was performed in completers (n= 508) with 100 weeks of exposure from RAPID 1 baseline. 95.8% of completers entered open-label treatment, and of these, 91.1% continued in the study after 100 Weeks.
