Legendary record producer Phil Ramone died of a brain aneurysm on Saturday, March 30th at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, according to Billboard. Ramone was first hospitalized in late February for an aortic aneurysm, in which the aorta swells to 1.5 times its normal size, and runs the risk of fatally rupturing. Ramone is survived by his wife Karen and three sons, Matt, B.J. -- named for Billy Joel, and Simon -- named for Paul Simon. Ramone's most recent project, was Tony Bennett's Latin album, Viva Duets which featured Christina Aguilera, Gloria Estefan, and Marc Anthony, among others. In 2007, Ramone published his memoir, called Making Records: The Scenes Behind The Music.
Phil Ramone was born on January 5th, 1934 in South Africa and as a child prodigy violinist at age 10, he performed for Queen Elizabeth II. He emigrated to the U.S. in the late-1940's and was classically trained at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City, becoming a naturalized American citizen in 1953. In addition to co-owning and operating Manhattan's A&R Recording Studios, Ramone became known as one of the best sets of ears in the business, with his engineering work among the best and most sought after in the U.S.
The 14 time Grammy winner's resume reads like a who's who of the entertainment industry over the past 50 years, with Ramone's name on the label of albums by such icons as Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Rod Stewart, and Elton John, among others. Ramone is also credited for introducing optical surround sound for motion pictures.
Despite those credits, Phil Ramone -- lovingly referred to by many as the "Pope Of Pop" -- will always be best known for the seven albums he produced for Billy Joel -- The Stranger (1977), 52nd Street (1978), Glass Houses (1980), Songs In The Attic (1981), The Nylon Curtain (1982), An Innocent Man (1983), and The Bridge (1986).
Ramone produced and helped arrange such Billy Joel classics as "Just The Way You Are," "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," "She's Always A Woman," "Only The Good Die Young," "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant," "Big Shot," "My Life," "Honesty," "You May Be Right," "It's Still Rock N' Roll To me," "Don't Ask Me Why," "She's Got A Way," "Pressure," "Allentown," "Goodnight Saigon," "Tell Her About It," "The Longest Time," "Uptown Girl," and "A Matter Of Trust," among others.
Billy Joel issued a statement saying: "I always thought of Phil Ramone as the most talented member in my band. He was the band member that no one ever ever saw onstage. He was with me as long as any of the musicians I ever played with -- longer than most. So much of my music was shaped by him and brought to fruition by him. I have lost a dear friend -- and my greatest mentor. The music world lost a giant today."
Paul McCartney: "Phil was a great friend of mine for many years. We first worked together when I recorded 'Another Day' in New York at A&R Studios. He was a very sweet man who combined this with expert knowledge of both engineering and production. I'll always remember him as a great friend that I knew, loved and admired over the many years that we worked and played together."
Quincy Jones: "There aren't enough words to express how heavy my heart is with the news of the passing of my dear friend and brother Phil Ramone. Phil was a collaborator in the studio and a friend in life for more than 50 years. Whenever I was in the studio recording, if Phil wasn't there by my side it would seem like one ingredient was missing. Today we lost one of the true musicians, innovators and geniuses of the record industry. His immense talents were only surpassed by the gigantic size of his heart, and I will miss him terribly."
Barbra Streisand: "I'm so saddened to learn of Phil's passing. We first worked together in 1967 when I did a free concert in Central Park. His brilliance at capturing sound was immediately evident. Later we worked together on the film A Star Is Born, where Phil was able to record me singing live, including 'Evergreen.' In the next decade we worked on the soundtrack to Yentl and many other recordings. Phil had impeccable musical taste, great ears and the most gentle way of bringing out the best in all the artists he worked with. The monumental recordings he produced will endure for all time."
Stevie Wonder: "What a heart break to all of us who knew him and loved him. What a great man, what a kind spirit, such an incredible producer. The star of stars behind the stars. Phil will be missed always."
Aretha Franklin: "This is so shocking. I just performed for his tribute in December. Truly one of the great names in music has gone on, but the melodies will remain."
Elton John: "A friend, a musical genius and the most lovable person. It was a thrill for me to have worked with Phil, and I have so many wonderful memories."
Tony Bennett: "Phil Ramone was a lovely person and a very gifted musician and producer. It was a joy to have him work with me in the recording studio on so many projects as he had a wonderful sense of humor and a deep love of music. Phil had the admiration and respect from everyone in the entertainment industry and his passing is a great loss."
Julian Lennon: "I'm deeply saddened to hear the news of my dear friend & First Ever Producer, Phil Ramone's Passing. . . My Heart, of course, goes out to all of his Family & friends. . . Phil, We were just getting to know each other again. . . I'm going to miss you. . . As will countless others. . . You were one of the best. . . Always will be. . . x"
ASCAP president and singer/songwriter Paul Williams: "Phil Ramone was a giant whose love and understanding of songwriting, combined with his mastery of the recording arts and science led to a lifetime of producing beautiful music. His legacy of timeless classics includes the seminal work of a long list of iconic songwriters and legendary recording artists. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. While the world has lost a giant his work will live on and be celebrated for all time. Godspeed, my friend."
Bette Midler: "Phil Ramone. A giant in the recording world; kind beyond words."
Songwriter Diane Warren: "Phil Ramone was the epitome of class. And what a true producer should be. Musical. Sensitive. He knew his s***. And was a gentleman. One of not only the greatest producers EVER but one of the greatest people EVER."
Robbie Robertson: "I am deeply saddened to hear my friend Phil Ramone passed away. We first met in 1968 at A&R Studios while The Band was making Music From Big Pink. I am currently doing a new mix on an album we worked on together many years ago. He was a true sonic genius and a brilliant, versatile record producer. They just don't make 'em like that no more. Blessings."

* Color Mixing Fun with Drinks and Water
How fun would this be to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Mix your own Kid-friendly Rainbow Drinks!
Today's project is actually from E's Rainbow Birthday Party
we hosted in 2010 to celebrate her 7th birthday.
As a fun twist on our drink's station, we filled three pitchers
with Sprite colored BLUE, YELLOW, and RED food coloring.
As the kids (and adults!) poured their drinks into cups, they could mix
their own custom (or favorite) color for their drink.
NOTE: You could just use water, if you don't want your kid's drinking soda
(we used Sprite Zero)
Another favorite, colorful, and creative project in our household
is to mix up batches of colored water using water and food coloring.
My girls love to mix colors and experiment with eye droppers
as well as making batches of colored water to line our playroom windowsills.
We use our Discount School Supply Super Test Tubes set.
Why not CREATE your own batch of colored water today with your own kids?
So pretty and happy!
More Fun things to do with colored water:
Freeze into ice cubes and throw them in the bath tub.
Make a Mad Scientist "Lab" and create colorful concoctions with
water, food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar.
Fill Jars or Glasses with colored water in different amounts
and create a home made xylophone (experiment with sound and color)

text: I'm sorry but it's time they take some heat. For a long time I've had an issue with the C's medical team. To be clear Eddie Lacerte has been the team doctor for 26 years. This goes back to the death of Reggie Lewis to playing McHale on a broken foot, to the mixed messages with KG's injury to the team signing Green to a huge contract when he had a heart condition to allowing Avery Bradley to play on a shoulder that required surgery only for him to later need surgery on BOTH shoulders. I'm not blaming them for the injuries but this is ridiculous. Now Sully fell to #21 and all the other teams seemed to know this was coming EXCEPT the Celtics.

Lost in the 80's at Thunder Valley
Friday night was quite the ride down memory lane for everyone who listened to the radio back in the '80s. The Fixx, Wang Chung
and Naked Eyes all played to a packed Pano Hall at Thunder Valley Casino and Resort.
You could say this was a British invasion of sorts, since all three bands hail from England. They were a smashing success in the '80s, all with No. 1 hits. It was quite an impressive lineup, with only one concern: What time will I get home? There's a whole lotta hits to be played from each band.
Naked Eyes
– best known for their first single "Always Something There to Remind Me," kicked off the evening with "Voices in My Head." The band's original members were Pete Byrne on vocals and Rob Fisher on keyboards. Fisher died in 1999, so Byrne is touring with three new members. When Byrne's took the stage, he started searching the crowd as if looking for someone. I thought it a bit odd, but he may have been trying to size up the crowd.
During his set he kept telling the audience that it was OK to get up, dance and have a good time. The audience was slow to respond. However, by the end of the set he had a few people on their feet dancing, but only a small fraction of the audience.
Byrne had a good stage presence and was very energetic, but the lack of vocals on some songs hurt his performance. He sounded great on some of his older hits but not so good on others, as he seemed to struggle on the higher notes, and at the end of the set he only managed to get a small percentage of the audience on their feet.
Wang Chung followed with a number of their hits including "Everybody Have Fun Tonight." Original band members Jack Hues (vocals, guitar) and Nick Feldman (bass, guitar) were simply awesome. Hues worked up the crowd with his theatrics and excellent vocals, while Feldman did it with pure energy and total absorption in his performance.
The amazing story here is how awesome the band sounded, despite only rehearsing together for one day. I spoke to young keyboardist Dave Appelbaum, and needless to say, he was quite ecstatic about being able to play a couple of gigs with the talented Wang Chung.
Appelbaum explained his involvement with the band, that it was one of those friend
Each of the "newbies" were armed with MacBooks and referencing their sheet music often. Regardless, they appeared to be playing effortlessly, as if they had been playing the songs for years. Appelbaum looked totally immersed in the moment, pounding on the keyboard and just plain rocking it. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of these guys in the future.
Wang Chung had the crowd worked up in a sweat. Most of the seats were empty with people filling the aisles dancing. They didn't sound just like they did when they were younger, but they still sounded awesome with Hues' deeper more mature vocals taking center stage. They played "Rent," a new song off their latest CD "Abducted by the '80s." The song is a very catchy tune reminiscent of the "'80's with Feldman throwing a bit of Prince-like vocals into the mix.
With such an exceptional set by Wang Chung, I started to wonder how The Fixx was going to be able to follow such a performance. I didn't have to wonder long. Front man Cy Curnin was just as animated, if not more so, than Hues. As Curnin sang, his hands were always on the move, telling their own story.
The Fixx stills tours with all its original members: Curnin, keyboardist Rupert Greenall, guitarist Jamie West-Oram, drummer Adam Woods and bassist Dan K. Brown. The band's dynamic style and high energy immediately created a connection with the audience, bringing the majority of people to their feet. By night's end there wasn't a single person sitting.
Towards the middle of their set they played a new song, "Piccadilly," which will be included in their upcoming CD. It will be their first original album in more than 25 years!
It was a fun night for all. Pano Hall started out full, but by the end of the night, about a third of the audience had left. I'm sure that was because the concert went past 11 p.m.
Thunder Valley Casino and Resort's summer concert series runs through September so there's still time to grab some tickets.

I finally upgraded from ZCS 608 (FOSS) to ZCS 802( NE starter).
I have still lots to discover, but ZCS seems more structured and cleaner (together if that's the word) than zcs6.
The new themes however I do not much care for: the 'faded' look is less readable than the version6 one
Example the inbox on both versions: I can hardly make out the difference between read/unread messages
I looked at the skin.properties file for the above Beach skin on both versions, but I don't find any font settings

CSCE Staff Advisor
On July 13, 2004, the U.S. Department of State announced it could not certify Uzbekistan for continued U.S. assistance, citing Tashkent's failure to make sufficient progress on implementing human rights commitments. The decision had been awaited by human rights groups – most of which favored de-certification – and analysts who argued that Washington had a greater stake in continuing assistance to a strategic ally in the war on terrorism.
United States Helsinki Commission Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ) applauded the State Department's decision: "Given Tashkent's record, it would have been impossible to certify Uzbekistan. I regret that President Karimov did not choose to do what would have been needed to make certification possible."
Helsinki Commission Ranking Member Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) agreed, stressing that the decision did not mean that Washington was walking away from Uzbekistan, but would keep working with Tashkent to improve its human rights observance. "If we had just routinely gone forward with the process that allowed for certification when minimal standards of progress have not been made, the United States would have done a disservice to Uzbekistan and to its people," Cardin said. "I think Secretary Powell has fulfilled an important obligation to the people of Uzbekistan as well as to the people of the United States."
The Department's decision followed a June 24 Helsinki Commission hearing which examined in detail the pros and cons of both options on certification. Representing the State Department were Lorne W. Craner, Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and Lynn Pascoe, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State on the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. Secretary Craner also serves as an Executive Branch Member of the Helsinki Commission. Uzbekistan's Ambassador Abdulaziz Komilov presented Tashkent's point of view.
Chairman Smith noted the timeliness of the hearing given the Department's then-forthcoming decision on certification. He acknowledged Uzbekistan's cooperation in anti-terrorist activities and pro-U.S. foreign policy. But, Smith was critical of President Islam Karimov for not allowing opposition political parties and keeping print and electronic media under government control. The Uzbek Government has been especially harsh in its treatment of independent Muslims: "There are over 5,000 people in prison for their religious or political beliefs," and torture in prison, according to a United Nations report, is "systemic." Smith also noted that Tashkent's efforts to combat human trafficking won a status upgrade from Tier III to Tier II in the State Department's recently released Trafficking in Persons Report, but that Uzbekistan still failed to meet TIP minimum standards.
In his opening statement, Commissioner Cardin acknowledged that the decision on certification would be difficult, balancing the need to enforce previously set standards for change without restricting needed funds or driving Uzbekistan into the arms of Russia. Cardin added, "We don't expect miracles overnight, but we do expect constant and consistent progress."
Helsinki Commission Member Rep. Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA) applauded progress warranting the TIP status upgrade. He also noted the difficult challenges with countries such as Uzbekistan. "It is vital as we deepen our relationships with various nations around the world, particularly in relation to the war against terrorism, that we do not ignore human rights violations." Helsinki Commission Member Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-NC), the newest CSCE member, also attended the hearing.
Secretary Craner pointed to "some important gains" in Uzbekistan's observance of human rights. For example, in May Tashkent invited an independent, international forensic science team affiliated with Freedom House to investigate a suspicious prison death which was ultimately ruled a suicide.
Yet, Craner stressed certain problems:
In short, Craner said, "The Government of Uzbekistan has chosen not to institute and implement real political reforms, reforms that are badly needed in order to ensure long-term stability and security."
Ambassador Pascoe focused more on the strategic and security benefits of close U.S.-Uzbek cooperation in recent years, emphasizing the Uzbek contribution to the U.S.-led war against terrorism. He also pointed to Tashkent's need to "confront the danger of extremist elements." Pascoe saw some gains in human rights, civil rights, and economic reform in Uzbekistan. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, for instance, has initiated a prison monitoring program by non-governmental organizations and allowed the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture to visit the country. Pascoe expressed concern that an aid cutoff would hurt such useful programs as ethical conduct training for Uzbek police. He regretted the lack of a security waiver in the legislation on certification, "which would allow [the State Department] to have a more nuanced approach to encourage compliance."
For his part, Ambassador Komilov objected outright to the hearing's subtitle "Stifled Democracy, Human Rights in Decline." To support his position, he cited the halving of the number of prisoners since 2000, and a tenfold increase of registered religious organizations since 1990. The ambassador acknowledged that reform is still needed in the law enforcement community, but stressed that the United States and Uzbekistan share a similar problem with regard to terrorism and "hold similar views regarding the question of what should be done." Komilov emphatically expressed the Uzbek Government's wish to democratize and to "emulate [the U.S.'s] great democratic traditions."
The last panel, over which Commissioner Cardin presided, showcased four views on the certification issue, as well as overall U.S. policy toward Uzbekistan. In the pro-certification camp were Dr. Martha Olcott, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Dr. Frederick Starr, director of the Central Asia Caucasus Institute at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
Dr. Olcott contended that an aid cutoff "would have a number of very negative effects." She maintained that a cutoff would stymie the slow but real improvement in Uzbekistan's human rights situation, arguing that de-certification "would strand reformers in Uzbekistan." Olcott also worried that cutting off aid would embolden those in Uzbekistan opposed to U.S. involvement in the region as well as Islamic militants. A better approach, she argued, would be to mitigate the regime's repressiveness via police reform and make radical ideals appear less forbidden and perhaps less appealing.
Dr. Starr, on the other hand, questioned the data collected by Uzbek and international human rights groups, pointing to their frequent use of "informed" or "anonymous" sources. He voiced opposition to registering the extremist Islamic organization Hizb-ut Tahrir, which he described as militantly anti-Semitic and favoring the expulsion of all non-Muslims from Central Asia. Starr claimed that Uzbekistan's five government-created parties are beginning to behave like legitimate political parties. In general, he painted a far more favorable picture of Uzbekistan's progress, considering how little time has passed since independence.
On the other side of the issue was Veronika Szente Goldston, Human Rights Watch's Advocacy Director for Europe and Central Asia. She pointed out that credible evidence of torture and mistreatment of prisoners continues despite reform promises from the Uzbek Government. Moreover, six months before impending elections, no "genuine opposition political party has been allowed to register, and [opposition] members face harassment and criminal prosecution." She concluded that conditions for certification had not been met and to not de-certify would "rob the law of its meaning."
Dr. Polat, the leader of the unregistered Birlik opposition party, was highly critical of Uzbekistan's human rights record. He cited the police killing of several Birlik members between 1992 and 2001 and more recent "groundless" arrests of political party members. Nevertheless, Polat argued that rather than de-certify Uzbekistan it would be more productive to give even more aid to government programs with the condition that reform continue and opposition parties be allowed to register.
In closing, Commissioner Cardin asked the panelists what near-term change they would most like to see in Uzbekistan. Responses included public condemnation of torture, the release of human rights activists, registration of opposition parties, the adoption of a habeas corpus law, and the establishment by the United States of a training academy for police and administrators. Cardin concluded the hearing by assuring the panelists and audience that the Helsinki Commission and Congress will continue to closely follow developments in Uzbekistan.
All these perspectives must have been considered by the State Department but ultimately Secretary Colin Powell did not recertify Uzbekistan for U.S. assistance. Department spokesman Richard Boucher said, "Uzbekistan has made some encouraging progress over the past year with respect to human rights. We are, however, disappointed by lack of progress on democratic reform and restrictions put on U.S. assistance partners on the ground. On balance, therefore, the Secretary has decided that, based on Uzbekistan's overall record of reform, he cannot make the determination [to certify]. However, this decision does not mean that either our interests in the region or our desire for continued cooperation with Uzbekistan has changed. We want to continue to work with Uzbekistan to pursue our common goals and to implement the standards and ideals in the Strategic Partnership Framework."

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Montgomery County police say they have recovered a child who was kidnapped from an apartment building on Thursday. Police say the 3-year-old boy is safe and there is one person in custody.
The man who took the child had allegedly crashed his car in the intersection of Tuckerman Lane and Rockville Pike just before he broke into one apartment with a mom and another child inside shortly before 10:41 a.m. Thursday.
Police say he then ran into another apartment on the third floor and snatched the three year old boy. He didn't get far. Police locked down the building and surrounded him in the stairwell of a nearby parking garage, say officials.
Investigators later determined that the man got into the first floor apartment by breaking a rear window, then when the building's fire alarm was activated a woman on the third floor went to exit her apartment to investigate. That's when the man entered the third floor apartment and took the child, say police.
The man was injured and taken to the hospital.
He has been identified as 27-year-old Shervin Hessamfar. Police say he is charged with kidnapping a child under 16 and two counts of burglary.
Police say the boy is fine and was reunited with the mother.

Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - The San Francisco 49ers put outside
linebacker Aldon Smith on the reserve/non-football injury list on Monday, one
day after the team announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence
to seek help for a substance-abuse problem.
The 49ers allowed Smith to play in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis
Colts despite the All-Pro pass rusher's arrest on charges of driving under the
influence and possession of marijuana two days prior. Team CEO Jed York
revealed after San Francisco's 27-7 loss that Smith would be headed to a
treatment facility and there was no timetable for his return.
Smith was taken into custody after crashing his car in San Jose's Silver Creek
district early Friday morning. He had previously been arrested for a DUI in
Miami in January of 2012, and was later named in two lawsuits stemming from a
house party he hosted in June of that year. Smith was reportedly stabbed at
the party.
"I am taking a leave of absence to address my health," Smith said in a
statement on Monday. "I am sorry that I have affected my team, my family and
the organization. I will do everything in my power to handle this situation
the best way possible. I appreciate the support of the 49ers and our fans."
On the field, Smith has been one of the NFL's premier pass rushers since being
taken by San Francisco with the seventh overall pick of the 2011 draft. He
notched 14 sacks during his rookie season, then ranked second in the league
with 19 1/2 sacks last year while helping the 49ers to an appearance in Super
Bowl XLVII.

Tom Vanden Brook and Susan Davis, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - The Air Force plans to cut aircraft maintenance by one-third, eliminate support for popular military airshows and cut support to more than 30 weapons systems if the mandatory budget cuts set to go into effect March 1 are not stopped or adjusted, military budget documents obtained by USA TODAY show.
The Army says the same forced cuts mean they will have to cut funding for counter-IED efforts, intelligence and surveillance aircraft and new soldier equipment. All of these cuts will happen, the services say, if Congress and the White House don't hold off the cuts required by a summer 2011 budget deal.
The Navy would slash by more than half the number flying hours for its warplanes on aircraft carriers in the Middle East. It would also not send an aircraft carrier task force scheduled to go to the Persian Gulf.
These and other cuts will go into effect unless the White House and Congress can reach a deal on long-term spending to avoid the process known as sequestration. President Obama announced his plan to avert the budget crisis that includes a package of spending cuts and increases in tax revenue.
On Wednesday, Republicans from the House and Senate unveiled their own plan, which includes extending the deadline by freezing pay for the federal workforce. That proposal was announced by Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla. McKeon chairs the House Armed Services Committee while Inhofe is the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Obama also met at the White House Wednesday with executives of major defense contractors.
The military services face $46 billion in cuts this year if an agreement is not reached. Much of that is due to sequestration, while additional reductions will take place because spending for its 2013 year has not been approved. That means it continues to spend under guidelines set by the 2012 budget.
Congress has asked the services repeatedly for what they would stop if the mandatory cuts go into effect.
There is renewed agreement that the spending cuts need to be replaced, but little consensus on how to get it done.
"If it's implemented, it'll cut every ship, aircraft, tank, truck program, research and development across the board," warned Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a leading advocate to replace the impending cuts.
A group of senior House and Senate Republicans released a proposal Wednesday to replace the cuts through the end of the fiscal year in September with an $85 billion alternative proposal to cut spending with a reduction in the federal workforce through attrition and a pay freeze for members of Congress. The bill would allow federal agencies to hire one person for every three who leave their employment.
"We got into this mess together, and we're going to have to get out together," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a co-sponsor of the legislation, noting that lawmakers in both parties supported the 2011 legislation that led to the $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade after Congress failed to come up with a deficit reduction package on its own.
The GOP proposal does not include any tax revenues, unlike the proposal outlined Tuesday by Obama that called for delaying the cuts with a "balanced mix" of revenues and alternative cuts until a broader budget framework can be achieved.
The president, supported by congressional Democrats, wants revenues to play a role in offsetting the impending cuts, but there is near unanimity among Republicans against any new taxes following the year-end "fiscal cliff" budget deal that raised tax rates on wealthy Americans. "The American people believe that the tax question has been settled," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, reiterating GOP opposition to new revenues.
Recent acceptance among lawmakers that the cuts would likely take effect on March 1 has been replaced with new momentum to fix it.
"Last year things weren't desperate. They are desperate this year," Inhofe said. "Last year we weren't talking about the president's own secretary of Defense saying that this is devastating. It's disarming America."
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, in an interview last week with USA TODAY, said the military would be unable to handle threats outside the war in Afghanistan and a crisis in the Middle East if the cuts occur. The Pentagon would have to reduce the Army by an additional 100,000 soldiers, Panetta said. It already plans to shed 100,000 soldiers and 20,000 Marines under an existing plan to cut $487 billion over 10 years.
All the services anticipate furloughs for their civilian workforce. Among the cuts the services are proposing if sequestration goes into effect:
Army: Only units deploying to Afghanistan and Korea will receive full training. Equipment scheduled to return to the United States from Afghanistan would remain there, delaying its repair and use by soldiers at their home posts.
Air Force: Flying hours will cut by 18%, and only missions in Afghanistan, flying Obama and nuclear missions would be untouched. Military airshows, including the Thunderbirds aerobatic flying team, and flyovers of sporting events would be eliminated.
Navy: The service will suspend naval operations in and around South America, deferring ship maintenance, cancelling Fleet Week and flights of the Blue Angels airshow team.

Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Nick Foles found Jeremy Maclin for a 1-yard
touchdown as time expired to lift the Philadelphia Eagles past the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, 23-21, on Sunday.
The Eagles trailed 21-10 and scored with 3:55 remaining to make it a one-score
game, then took over again on their own 36-yard line with just 2:44 left. On
3rd-and-14, Foles found Maclin for a 23-yard completion to keep the drive
Foles turned to Maclin once again on 3rd-and-10 at the Buccaneers' 40, but
Maclin could only pick up nine yards. Foles took it himself on 4th-and-1 and
quickly spiked the ball to stop the clock with 35 ticks showing.
After three straight incomplete passes, Foles connected with Jason Avant for a
22-yard gain to the Tampa Bay 1-yard line.
Foles sprinted to the line and spiked the ball with two seconds left.
Following a Buccaneers timeout, the rookie signal-caller took the shotgun snap
and delivered a perfect pass to Maclin, who slid across the end zone on his
It was unclear if Maclin was able to keep his left foot inbounds, but the call
was confirmed following an official review.
Philadelphia (4-9) snapped an eight-game losing streak -- the longest since
Andy Reid took over as head coach in 1999 -- with the win.
The Bucs (6-7) lost their third straight to fall further behind in the NFC
playoff race.

Laugh or Cry: Katy Perry joins 44 presidents in National Portrait Gallery
Pop star's portrait goes on display in D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Should I laugh or should I cry? It's not just the title of a 1981 song by Abba – it's how you sometimes feel when something is either so absurd or so maddening or so something that you're just not sure how to react. We here at DecodeDC think politics and the actions of those who play in the political arena are filled with laugh or cry moments. We hope you do too.
Visitors to the National Gallery in Washington today may be surprised to see a new, candy-themed portrait hanging among the images of American presidents and Tudor monarchs.
The gallery will display "Cupcake Katy", a painting by New York artist Will Cotton featuring pop icon and "California Gurl" Katy Perry until July 6th. Perry is seen holding a confectionery scepter and dressed in a silver cupcake wrapper-inspired dress with a swirly red and white lollipop candy crown.
Yes, an image of the singer best known for having the eye of the tiger will now be joining such famous works as the Lansdowne portrait of George Washington.
How did this 'Fireworks' celebrity come to be on showcase at the museum?
"Katy Perry comes from an American tradition of strong women entertainers who have 'turned the tables' on their audiences by challenging the supposedly superficial representation of their pop personas," said director, Kim Sajet in a statement to the press. "Will Cotton's tongue-in-check portrait of Katy as a 'cupcake' brings to mind a traditional European portrait of a bewitching 18th-century belle—Madame de Pompadour perhaps."
That's a fine interpretation. Perhaps it's true that Perry has turned the tables on the music industry, but does her fame, status and hit singles really make her a 'historical' figure?
Perhaps the portrait gallery, filled with centuries-old art, needs a fresh face? There's no argument Katy's is just that.
Either way, it'll definitely open up a generational dialog that might not have been heard in these halls before.
So we ask you, do we laugh or do we cry?
DecodeDC's foremost aim is to be useful. That means being a reliable, honest and highly entertaining source of insight and explanation. It also means providing multimedia coverage of Washington's people, culture, policies and politics that is enlightening and enjoyable. Whether it's a podcast, a video, an interactive graphic, a short story or a long analysis, it will be based on this guiding principle: We are in DC but not OF DC.

That's crazy!!
Been guiding snowmobile trips around the forest and up in yellowstone heavy for the past few weeks now....We still have a few grizzlies running around through the valley. One in particular has 3 cubs with her still. . I am aware plenty that bears have the tendency to come out for a walk around in the early spring and go back in for a while more. But never have i heard of a bear still running around in 4 feet of snow in January with cubs. I have heard they will not go into hibernation if they do not have the fat saved to survive the winter. If thats the case..
That's crazy!!
Ya no dout. We have had some weird weather here in Nv no snow at all. Not even at 9k feet. All of the animals aren't were they normally would be. Are you seeing some weird weather that my cause this?
I know here in North Central Wyoming were definitely having some weird weather. 50 degrees and no snow in January is like unheard of for here!
Well its weird in the fact we havent had a ton of snow yet, but up where the female with 3 cubs is running around is about 4 feet of snow. There are no big game around the area, some buffalo way up in yellowstone, but all elk have migrated far out of the area. The park rangers try to say she is healthy and all is fine...but from personal observation would say that is far from the case. and personally have no problem with that situation. . . They are a dang nuisance up around here during season. we could use a few less
This morning I saw that the forecast high today in Island Park is 39°, and was wondering about the bears. Thanks for the report. It is weird weather indeed. I'm in Moscow, ID today, and it's 40° this morning. Got my sleeves rolled up.
I wonder what biological effect it has on grizzlies when their nap time is significantly shorter than usual.
http://www.idahoman.com/ - an online, outdoors focused magazine, highlighting hunting, fishing, the land, and the issues surrounding those opportunities in Idaho.
A griz not hibernating at that elivation and in Jan. ??? WOW ! How old do the cubs look ? It hasn't been that warm there though. I follow the weather in Cody everyday. I think something in particular with that bear is going on. You may be right with the fat/hunger idea. You are also right about too many grizzlies ! They have absolutely no fear of man. In the last 15 yrs. around Cody, North and South Fork, Sunlight Basin, all over, I have seen more than twice as many. Sometimes it's scarey packin out an animal by yourself and in the dark even more. A dog around is good to have to warn you. A short barelled 12 ga. with 00 buck and slugs is good at night too ! My S&W 460 across my chest with the 12 ga. is even better ! The Park Rangers should watch that bear to see what it's up to. I know there's no tourist in the Park now but maybe it will eye a buffalo ??? 3 cubs too...Healthy bear. I thought they were going to close snowmobiling down in the Park ? Or was that just personel not guided ?
Snowmobiling in the park is only for guided trips. they got rid of personal sleds about 5+ years ago. Also lots of regulations on what type of sleds we can have. Enviros are sure trying to get us shut out of there due to the MASSIVE noise pollution we make....ridiculous. Just another chance for them to put money in there bank accounts.. Yea the rangers are watching her close, she is the "famous" bear 399.. which is very well known around this area to the tourists during summer. I run into constantly trucking horses up to the trailhead during both summer and fall. On top of that where we have our backcountry area all fall, we run into griz on a daily basis, and most days see multiple bears on one ridge. Its getting quite out of control. We have our fare share of wolves also, but i havent had to run from a wolf that was dead set on taking a clients bull.

Those terrible acne breakouts! Instead of just being worried and frustrated with them, let Phytomer Acne Treatment Products take the lead. The active, powerful components work at the very basic level of your skin to counteract breakouts. With carefully researched and balanced ingredients, Phytomer Acne Treatment Products can not only aggressively deal with the causes of acne, but help prevent the return of those blemishes. Achieve a clean, smooth and healthy-looking complexion with Phytomer Acne Treatment Products.
The cause of acne is not just an excess of oils, but dead skin cells, atmospherically deposited dirt and environmental pollutants. All of these clog up your poor pores and follicles, not only causing swelling and reddening, but providing a source of nutrients for bacteria. The bacterial infection causes inflammation, adding to the unsightliness. The combination of unwanted physical debris, the physical reaction to this build-up and bacterial infection plays havoc with your skin. And why shouldn't it? Your skin wasn't meant to take such insults. Phytomer Acne Treatment Products go to the very source of the problem by cleaning, smoothing and healing your skin.
Where acne blemishes are concerned, Phytomer Acne Treatment Products don't just cover them up, they help heal them! Exfoliation is an important tool in this process, as dead skin cells are sloughed off to make room for new, healthy cells. Excess oil is removed, not only to reduce the amount of debris on and in the skin, but to avoid providing a source of nutrition for bacteria that can cause skin infection. Pores and follicles are gently polished and cleaned, skin smoothed and bacteria suppressed to provide you with a refreshed look and feel.
An effective and powerful acne treatment is Phytomer Oligopur – Anti-Blemish Target Gel for combination, oily and problem skin. This preparation contains salicylic acid, an FDA-approved ingredient for the treatment of acne. It helps to remove oils, a primary source for skin-borne bacteria, from pores and follicles while neutralizing any bacteria which are already present. It also constricts pore diameter, presenting a smoother skin surface. Importantly, it exfoliates the skin, ridding you of dead flakes and making way for new, healthy cells. Red algae (Asparagopsis armata), is also a valuable ingredient. This wonderful product of the sea acts as a powerful antioxidant, fighting free radicals, while it helps reduce fine lines and improves skin elasticity. Best of all, this treatment can be applied any time during the day, even on top of your makeup! This effective gel comes in a handy small tube that fits neatly into your handbag and can be carried wherever you travel.

Zagreb, Croatia (Sports Network) - Former champion Marcos Baghdatis was a
second-round upset victim Thursday at the Zagreb Indoors tennis event.
Slovenian Blaz Kavcic ousted the sixth-seeded Cypriot 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 at
Dom Sportova. The former Australian Open runner-up Baghdatis captured this
tournament back in 2007.
Another upset came when capable Dutchman Robin Haase doused fifth-seeded
Slovak Martin Klizan, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
Meanwhile, fourth-seeded Austrian left-hander Jurgen Melzer avoided the upset
bug by coming from behind to best Indian Somdev Devvarman, 1-6, 7-6 (7-5),
Up next for Melzer will be big-serving Czech Lukas Rosol, who snuck past
Italian Flavio Cipolla, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.
Also on Day 3, German qualifier Philipp Petzschner dismissed Croatian lucky-
loser Dino Marcan 6-3, 6-4. Marcan replaced second seed Andreas Seppi of Italy
in the draw.
Petzschner will meet Haase in Friday's quarterfinals.

Here is Fluto's preview:
No lineup changes projected except for the likelyhood that Rask will start in nets. Will the other lines show up tonight or will Marchand-Bergeron-Seguin continue to pull an Atlas and do the heavy lifting? Will Pandolfo continue to get 11 minutes a night? Will Caron and Thornton continue to fight for the least number of shifts?

Coppin State Suffers Seventh Straight Loss
The Coppin State University Eagles lost a seventh straight game after struggling in a 75-53 blowout loss to the Savannah State University Tigers on Jan. 11 in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) game at the Coppin State Physical Education Complex (PEC) in Baltimore.
The Eagles (4-11) haven't won a game since beating UMBC on Dec. 11.
Coppin State had high hopes of ending the losing slump after taking an early lead against Savannah State (4-12). But the Tigers managed to spark a double-digit scoring run in the second half to run away with the victory.
Freshman guard Jeremiah Hill led Savannah State with a game-high 16 points while senior forward Jyles Smith followed with an amazing double-double of 14 points and 20 rebounds. Freshman guard Alante Fenner also scored 14 points off the bench for the Tigers.
Coppin State senior forward Michael Murray scored a team-high 15 points and senior guard Andre Armstrong scored 11 points.
The Eagles will host MEAC rival South Carolina State (5-10) on Jan. 13 at the PEC in Baltimore.

WEIRTON - Things are little easier in the Madonna camp this year because everyone now knows what to expect. After a season with a new coaching staff, the Blue Dons know the system and are a lot more comfortable.
"We're way ahead of where we were at the same time last year," second-year coach Doug Taylor said two weeks into two-a-days. "We have a smart group and they are hard workers. Put that together and it breeds success."
The Blue Dons are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the school's first football state championship and with that are going back to the silver helmets and their new throw-back uniforms are a lot like those worn by the 1987 team. Members of that team will be invited back for a reunion at one of the home football games this year. That date is yet to be determined.
Madonna made it into the playoffs in 2011 with a 6-4 regular season, but an injury-riddled Blue Dons team lost in the opening round to Williamstown, which ended up state runner-up, by the narrow score of 38-31.
There were 10 seniors who played key roles in 2011, including Christian Roe, who gained more 500 rushing yards, Ryan Mozingo, the leading tackler with 76, Dan Pietranton, Brandon Matez, Josh Egyud, Joe McCombs, Anthony Fulmer, Doug Howell, Nick Longhi and Nathan Nero.
Taylor said he'll miss those seniors, but he has 11 returning lettermen to carry the load. One concern for Taylor, though, is that he has only four seniors returning, three of which lettered.

"Those four seniors are showing the kind of leadership we expect from veteran players," Taylor said. "They are the first to show up for practice and the last to leave and they are working hard. They are great leaders and role models and set the tone for the rest of the team."
Quarterback Ross Comis, who was injured near the end of last season and couldn't play in the playoffs, will lead the Blue Dons junior class. He finished the among the area's leaders with 1,122 yards passing and 702 rushing. He scored 18 touchdowns - nine passing and nine on the ground. He also led the Blue Dons with three interceptions on defense.
"Ross matured a lot as the season went on last year and by the end he was reading defenses and checking off plays regularly during games," Taylor said. "He is even more mature now and we're looking for big things from him."
When Comis isn't passing and running the football, he'll be handing it off to junior classmates Nick Ossman and Elliott Nero. Ossman missed four games last year, but still wound up rushing for 422 yards on 74 carries. He ran for four touchdowns and caught a pass for another. Nero scored twice on the ground and caught three touchdown passes.
Backing them up will be Stevie Maus, another junior, and senior James Fulciniti.
Speedy Will Bowser and Marcello Biondillo will be the receivers. Sophomores Austin Connell and Kaleb Baire are vying for playing time along with senior Garrett Hypes, Gabe Hypes, a junior, and freshman Fargo Camerlango.
Several starters return on the offensive line led by senior Quinton Hukill. Hukill, who missed some games a year ago with injuries, and Josh Martin, the biggest of the Blue Dons at an imposing 6-feet-11, 285 pounds, will man the tackles. Martin's "little" brother, freshman Nathan Martin (6-4, 235) will back up at tackle along with two other freshmen, Ryan Egyud and Thaiddeus Dillie.
Garrett Beaver and Travis Brown return at the guards with Adam Robertson pressing for playing time. All three are juniors and sophomore Christian DiAngelo and freshman Adam Davis are showing promise, Taylor said.
Charlie Kotten is back as the trigger man at center. Brown can move there if needed.
Juniors Nate Guio and Tyler Ewusiak will share duties at tight end.
On the defensive side of the ball, Hukill, Beaver, Josh Martin and Kotten will play on the interior line while Guio, Ewusiak, Robertson and Kotten look like the top candidates at the defensive ends.
The linebacking core will see Brown and Ossman on the inside and Hypes and Nero outside. Anthony Antinone and Connell are in the mix along with Fulciniti.
Bowser and Biondillo return to start at cornerback while Comis is the safety.
Robertson or Matt Greene will handle the kicking duties and Bowser, Comis and Biondillo will do the punting.
Speed is one of our strong points along with athleticism, Taylor said. A weakness will be a lack of depth as the Blue Dons roster has only 28, down about five players from last year. One of the 28, Austin Bell, a 210-pound junior lineman, is likely to miss most of the season with a knee injury, according to Taylor.
One of the things that has helped the overall team speed of the Blue Dons is Taylor's investment in consultants to run his team through a speed camp.
"I believe that the speed camp has increased the speed of just about every player and helped them with their agility," he said. "We already plan to do it again next year."
The Blue Dons will play their five home games on the turf at the new Jimmy Carey Stadium on the Weir High campus.
"We're excited about playing on the new field, but we can't afford to get caught up in hype and lose our focus," Taylor said. "In all, we'll play on turf in eight games this year. The only games on grass are away at Cameron and Bishop Donahue. We played on turf several times last year and it is a good thing especially in bad weather."

Freshman Tanner Clough won both the 1600 and 3200 in his first full meet, and junior Hayden Woodcox won his heat of the 400 and ended up placing 6th overall. The next meet for the Wildcats is on Friday, April 12th at the Sutherland Invitational.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kim Zolciak Storms Out for the Last Time: Recap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 5, Episode 5
It's time for our weekly dose of insanity — here's what went down with Kim Zolciak on Season 5, Episode 5 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Let's do this!
Home, Sweet Home
It was all stress for Kim last week, while she packed up her dream mansion and headed back home to her townhouse, but this week she seems to be way more relaxed as she enjoys pizza with her daughters. Ariana and Brielle are happy to be back in their old hood, too. Mom and her girls enjoy some bonding, where Brielle teaches Kim about the importance of birth control after she learns she was an accident. Heartwarming.
Kim Backs Out of Anguilla and Then Some
Later, the women decide to meet for lunch to work out the deets for the Anguilla trip. But, first, Cynthia Bailey has to clear the air with Phaedra Parks after last week's butt-dialing incident. The supermodel was equipped with the incriminating message, but she wasn't prepared for the big-ass arrangement of lilies Phaedra showed up with, not to mention a full-on apology for what she had said. It's hard to not accept that grand gesture, so Cynthia forgives ... but she doesn't forget.
Kandi Burruss shows up next and drops the bomb that she invited Kenya Moore, who follows soon after with a round of air kisses. Cynthia is beyond annoyed. Next is NeNe Leakes and last, but not least, Kim arrives. Just as they are toasting to Anguilla and assuring that they are all in, Kim casually mentions that she'll just have to talk to her doctor. Five minutes later, she's saying she can't go. What's more, she admits that she's going on a different vacation at the same time.
Everyone's mad pissed that they all changed their schedules to accommodate her. Phaedra wonders if Kim has any time for her girlfriends anymore, to which Kim responds, "You know what, I really don't." Oh, Kim, come on now, sisters before misters! Chicks before ... well, you get the picture.
Next thing we know, Kim's out the door. It's the end of an era, people. Thank Bravo for spin-offs.
Are you upset that Kim is off RHoA? Weigh in below!

Hi all.
I'm developing a simple zimlet that recognizes telephone numbers in the content of an email and offers the possibility to click to call. To make my life easier, I'd like to use a "lookbehind" regex expression. Since the regex is defined in my zimlet xml file and a lookbehind uses the form "(?<=someconent)", I cannot simply use the "<" char in the expression, since it will invalidate the xml. I tried replacing the "<" with "<" like this "(?<=somecontent)", but then I get an error message "SyntaxError: invalid quantifier" in zimbra webmail as soon as the zimlet gets initialized.
Any ideas?

Your vocal cords are two flexible bands of muscle tissue that sit at the entrance to the windpipe (trachea). When you speak, the bands come together and vibrate to make sound. The rest of the time, the vocal cords are relaxed in an open position, so you can breathe.
In most cases of vocal cord paralysis, only one vocal cord is paralyzed. If both of your vocal cords are affected, you may have vocal difficulties, as well as significant problems with breathing and swallowing.
Signs and symptoms of vocal cord paralysis may include:

The 113th Congress was sworn in this past week. Divided government still dominates in the nation's capital (Democrats still control the presidency and the U.S. Senate), and President Obama promises to be more partisan and equally tyrannical in his second term. Nevertheless, my generation should look forward to the addition of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to the 113th Congress.
Cruz, a conservative champion and fearless defender of the Constitution, promises to be a much-needed conservative voice in the U.S. Senate. With Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) resigning to assume Ed Feulner's post at Heritage Foundation, Cruz will likely take over DeMint's role as the stalwart conservative voice in this respective chamber.
Earlier this morning on Fox News Sunday Cruz said, "I don't think what Washington needs is more compromise. I think what Washington needs is more common sense and more principle."
He also criticized the nomination of former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel to the Secretary of Defense post citing his long-track record of being anti-Israel and being a detriment to healthy U.S.-Israel relations.
If you haven't watched the entire interview, you can view it below.
A few days earlier, Senator Cruz published a column in the Washington Post urging Republicans to promote "opportunity conservatism."
He writes, "So let me suggest an alternative course: opportunity conservatism. Republicans should conceptualize and articulate every domestic policy with a single-minded focus on easing the ascent up the economic ladder."
Cruz adds, "That does not mean adopting the wealth-redistribution policies of the left. Among other problems, collectivist approaches to our economy simply do not work. They fail to produce economic prosperity or to improve the material conditions of the populace. And they lead to bankruptcy and economic collapse, as Europe demonstrates daily."
And then he finishes with this point: "Why do millions of people from all over the world come to the United States? Because no other nation has offered such opportunity. Nowhere else can so many come with nothing and achieve anything."
Senator Ted Cruz understands the problems that my generation faces. As a first-generation American born to a Cuban father, Cruz notions that freedom and prosperity-not welfare and government handouts-best uplift people.
As a young person, I'm largely drawn to Ted Cruz and his conservatism because like him, I'm also a first-generation American born to immigrant parents. (My parents are from the Baltic Republic of Lithuania. They escaped from it before the USSR collapsed.) Additionally, Cruz knows how to articulate conservatism and win arguments by clearly stating the problems we face and how to solve them. If young people are looking for a serious leader, then Ted Cruz is the right guy to confide in.
Welcome to Washington, D.C., Senator Cruz! My generation is counting on you.

text: Drew a deer tag in Unit 125 and an antelope tag in Unit 73. This is our first year as residents. Did a lot of research and these both look like some pretty good units. Anyone out there hunted these units before? We're really looking forward to it. Any advice would be really appreciated.
