Eight men have been sentenced to federal prison following their arrests last December as a result of Operation See Change, a six-month undercover investigation targeting street-level drug distribution along Tallahassee's Alabama Street corridor.
Those sentenced for drug trafficking include:
Eddie Jerome Boyd, 44, was sentenced to 262 months;
Antwan Santez Bullard, 27, was sentenced to 188 months;
Danny Ray Crittenden, Jr., 27, was sentenced to 188 months;
Deonte Deangelo Hill, 19, was sentenced to 15 months;
Tommy Clarence Jackson, 54, was sentenced to 192 months;
Willie Powell, 23, was sentenced to 96 months;
Marquiz Donnell Rollins, 32, was sentenced to 10 months; and
Denson Jacarrus Washington, 24, was sentenced to 188 months.
Jackson's 192-month prison term also included sentences for possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime, possession of a stolen firearm, and possession of a firearm while a convicted felon.
The United States Attorney's Office, the State Attorney's Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Leon County Sheriff's Office, the Tallahassee Police Department, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement initiated Operation See Change in July 2011. Relying on current crime data and statistics, Operation See Change focused on the city's most violent and active open-air drug market in the Alabama Street-Griffin Heights area. Working undercover, detectives from the Leon County Sheriff's Office and the Tallahassee Police Department worked with federal agents to make strong cases against drug dealers – many of whom had long criminal histories of violence and drug trafficking crimes.
The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida, Pamela C. Marsh, announced the sentences today. She explained: "Attacking violent crime and making our communities safer is one of Attorney General Holder's highest priorities for the Department of Justice, nationwide. Operation See Change was our local initiative aimed at reducing violent crime here in Tallahassee. Taking such violent felons out of our communities for a significant period of time should send a message of deterrence to others who might be attracted to the gang lifestyle and culture. Both state and federal laws give us strong enforcement tools that we will not hesitate to use." U.S. Attorney Marsh also expressed her grateful appreciation for the work and partnership of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Leon County Sheriff=s Office, the Tallahassee Police Department, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, whose joint investigation led to the convictions in these cases.
The cases were prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Coody.

Obama Pushes for Regulatory Reform
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 192 Visits
President Obama announced his long-awaited proposals for the overhaul of the regulatory system for the financial services sector. There were no real surprises as the administration has been seeking input from many different parties for months and surrogates have be floating specific proposals over the last couple weeks. The so-called White Paper (www
Lively Discussions from RMA ORM Discussion Group at Philly Fed
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 370 Visits
This week OpenPages is sponsoring the RMA Operational Risk Management Discussion Group being held at The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. The two-day forum was kicked-off by Victoria Garrity, Senior Quantitative Analyst from the Boston Federal Reserve. Victoria's session titled "Regulatory Perspective on Scenarios: Challenges and Issues", was well attended and sparked a number of conversations on potential forthcoming regulations. Other interesting sessions included a discussion moderated by Michael Fenn of DTCC and Patrick McDermott of Freddie Mac on the evolution of ORM assessments, and a roundtable facilitated by Kathy Miller of KeyCorp on "Recent Experiences with Regulators" in which the discussion focused on operational risk examinations and emerging guidance from the regulatory environment.
OpenPages Ranked #1 in End-User Survey
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 185 Visits
Thank you for your vote! OpenPages ranked #1 in the 2009 OpRisk & Compliance Magazine Compliance Survey for "Compliance Controls and Monitoring", and ranked highly for Sarbanes-Oxley and GRC. This year's Compliance Survey falls on the heels of the 2009 Operational Risk Software Survey in which OpenPages ranked first in scenario analysis and 3rd overall. The surveys were sent to more than 6,000 readers of OpRisk & Compliance from around the world and respondents were asked to rank their top companies across categories.
Gordon Burnes, OpenPages' vice president of marketing commented in the story about the desire for convergence in the risk and compliance space continuing for financial services firms and other highly regulated industries: "The broader trend towards convergence in compliance is accelerating because the environment that the control groups are putting in place for regulatory and internal policy compliance frequently overlap with the mandate of the operational risk group. Business managers are realising that, while complying with regulatory mandates and mitigating risks to a certain business process certainly have different objectives, a single loss event can affect the outcome of each."
The Shape of Regulation to Come

The Shareholder Bill of Rights Act of 2009 submitted by Senators Schumer and Cantwell addresses one of the key issues in the current financial crisis, that of corporate governance. While the NYSE has a rule that the board must articulate its enterprise risk management strategy, such a proscription has yet to be enshrined in law. The Schumer Bill address that:
The New Era of Risk Management – Government Intervention
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 209 Visits
Widely reported today was Bank of America's replacing their Chief Risk Officer, Amy Woods Brinkley, apparently at the behest of the government, which is eager to improve the risk management capability at the bank. Also, perhaps coincidently (or maybe not), the Wall Street Journal broke a story here about an internal struggle between the FDIC on one side and the OCC and Fed on the other. Apparently, the FDIC and Sheila Bair is pressing the government to change the internal rating they use to gauge the health of financial institutions. Such a rating change would allow the government to apply more pressure on the institution to change key managers in the business. Maybe Brinkley's replacement is a result of this dynamic. What's clear is that the risk management function will be in the cross-hairs of government regulators going forward.
Technology and Risk Management Culture
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 200 Visits
It's become clear that a risk-aware corporate culture is of critical importance to an organization. In the past year alone, there have been various examples in the news where a lack of risk-aware corporate culture has hurt companies, some beyond repair. Rick Steinberg, Founder and CEO of Steinberg Governance Advisors, Inc., recently joined OpenPages' Gordon Burnes for a webinar discussion on how to develop a risk-aware culture, and the role technology can play in transforming an organization's approach to enterprise risk management.
How does your organization promote a risk-aware culture?
Open Season on Regulatory Reform
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 179 Visits
The Obama administration has been moving fast on a lot of fronts, but certainly one of the longstanding legacies will be regulatory reform in the financial services sector. We've blogged here before about Hal Scott and the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation (CCMR), and some of those ideas have made their way into the current proposals currently being floated by the Obama administration.The CCMR borrowed from the FSA's model, and while current proposals don't go that far (and Barney Frank won't let them), there will likely be some regulatory consolidation in future legislation.
Elizabeth Warren's argued that you can't buy a toaster that has a 1 in 5 chance of bursting into flames and burning down your house. Aguilar supported Warren 's notion that consumers of financial product must be protected but believes that there should not be a single regulatory authority over, say, credit card and mutual funds. The purposes, pricing, and value chains for the products are totally different. He further noted that there's already a viable entity for investor protection, although in the Q&A he pointed out that the SEC is not self-funded and regulates 35,000 entities with a staff of 3,600 (vs. the FDIC, for instance, that regulates 5,100 banks with a staff of 5,000).

Slow Food USA Blog
Reflections, insights and news about the food movement and "going Slow"
Vegetable Cooking Challenges from the Slow Food USA Community
Aug. 12, 2014
From a surplus of celery to trouble staying full, chef Deborah Madison is helping us tackle everyday vegetable cooking challenges by responding to questions submitted through our social media community. Read on to pick up some great ideas from one of America's most experienced and talented vegetable-lovers!
Cook with What You Have: Eat Seasonally, Save Money and Enjoy More
Jul. 28, 2014
"What do I do with all this produce?" We often hear this question at this time of the year, when farmers markets and home gardens are overflowing with fresh ingredients. To the rescue, Katherine Deumling, owner of "Cook with What You Have" and out-going chair of the Slow Food USA Board of Directors. We sat down with Katherine to learn more about her approach to making the most of every season.
What Farm-to-Table Means for the Next Generation
Jul. 16, 2014
This summer, I took my passion for "farm-to-table" to a place it's never been aired before: America's most-loved cooking competition, Food Network Star.
Faces and Visions of the Food Movement: Katherine Deumling
May. 30, 2014
Have you ever looked into your cupboards and sighed because you couldn't figure out what to make for dinner? If so, Katherine Deumling is here to help. Deumling is the woman behind Cook With What You Have a Portland-based company that encourages people to experiment in the kitchen with new ingredients while still relying on familiar staples. Her recipes celebrate fresh, seasonal fare and use simple techniques to build confidence in cooking with what's on hand, without last-minute runs to the grocery store.
Biodiversity - Growing Wonder
Jul. 18, 2013
Biodiversity is an environmental necessity. The vast, distinct combinations of DNA needed to create the foods we eat and the world we live in are a resource that needs protecting. Without this resource we risk famine and disease. Without it, we lose the resiliency to adapt to our changing world. This dire reality is a good reason for Slow Food to embrace the need to support biodiversity through projects like the Ark of Taste and Presidia. Still, there may be an even better one: wonder.

Talbots has cable sweaters for $29 and cashmere sweaters for $59. The cut, color and fabric is very nice on these so this is a better deal than you might realize. If you don't like to shop this might be a good option for you since the stores are small and the selection is pretty focused.

Somehow, unbelievably, my wife agreed when I mentioned getting a TV. We found a 60" Samsung plasma on clearance at a number of places for $850 and free shipping (normally about $1500). It doesn't have 3D (don't care) and it's not a SmartTV (we already have a PS3 that does everything) which is why it was cheap. Ended up ordering from WalMart as BestBuy had sold out while we were discussing it. It should be here by 11/29 so I'm super excited. It's replacing a 40" Samsung LCD that's about 4 years old that will now go into our guest room.
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.
The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.

The 24th annual Taste of Derby Festival presented by Brown-Forman and benefiting Dare to Care was a sold-out hit this year! It was hosted at Louisville Slugger Field and showcased over 60 of Louisville's favorite restaurants, bourbon distilleries and beverage companies who treated all patrons to delicious samples. Amongst our favorites were Eddie Merlot's, Jeff Ruby's, Theater Square Marketplace, Comfy Cow and the Grey Goose lemonade stand. The fashion was a juxtaposition of chic street-wear to ladies in fabulous hats and heels. While suits and dresses were being admired the focus was on the cocktails and eats...after all it is Taste of Derby Festival! Besides the great food (which you can learn all about in Louisville Magazines EATS) there were a wide variety of posh auction items from signed guitars to weekend getaways. A fantastic time was had by all, and it was so nice running into so many friends and colleagues that help to make Louisville the place to be this season...Cheers to Derby!
Fashionably Yours,

|Dragons suffer two-game slide
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
The Dragons had their five-game winning streak snapped this weekend with a pair of losses to Akron Friday, Feb. 1 and to Caliche Saturday, Feb. 2.
In both games, Holyoke stuck around until late in the match before eventually being overcome by their opposition.
"There is definitely some good things that we did this weekend," coach Scott Dille explained. "Overall I thought the kids played hard, but didn't always make great decisions. They didn't play that smart all of the time. They made some bad decisions in both second halves."
The losses drop the Dragons to 7-6 overall with a conference record of 2-2.
Wyatt Powell goes up for two during Saturday's
—Enterprise photo
Holyoke 55, Akron 68
Akron came out in a zone defense against the Dragons to start the game. HHS has had some difficulty attacking the basket against zones this season, but seemed to handle it better Friday.
From the get go, the two teams were engulfed in a physical matchup, with both teams being called for a number of fouls.
Turnovers and bad passes in the first quarter hurt the Dragons, but they ended the period down only 12-17.
The Dragons did a better job of getting to the paint and drawing fouls in the second quarter. Nearly a third of the Holyoke points came from the charity stripe as the boys knocked down nine of their 17 attempts in the first half.
On the heels of a 13-3 run to end the quarter, HHS entered the locker rooms up 30-29 at half.
Despite entering the intermission with the momentum in their favor, the Dragons came out flat in the second half.
Akron rattled off a 17-4 run to begin the half, and finished the third quarter up 50-39 on the Dragons.
Dille noted that the team was not playing defense as a team. They were slow to rotate to spots which drew a number of whistles for blocking and reaching as they were out of position.
Holyoke made a run in the fourth quarter, but was unable to stop the bleeding as Akron converted on free throws. The final score had the Dragons losing, 55-68.
Logan Tharp had an impressive night, scoring 25 points to lead the Dragons. Deyten Klein chipped in with 13 points, including three three-pointers.
Holyoke 61, Caliche 73
Despite starting the game hot, the Dragons were unable to keep up with the fast-paced play of Caliche, falling to the Buffaloes 61-73.
"I was really pleased with how the team came out Saturday," Dille said. "I was wondering how they would respond after Friday night, but they came out and played hard."
Zach Roll helped propel the Dragons to a strong first quarter, knocking down a pair of threes. HHS put up 18 points in the opening quarter to take a five-point lead.
Caliche gained ground in the second quarter however, securing a two-point lead by half.
The constant pressure and speed of the visiting squad took the Dragons out of their game. Dille noted that in trying to keep up with Caliche, HHS became less disciplined.
Klein proved to be a scoring threat in the second half, scoring 14 of his team-high 17 points in the second and third quarters.
Caliche pulled away in the final quarter to win 73-61.
With fouls being a problem throughout the weekend, many players stepped into bigger roles. Wyatt Powell was a workhorse for the Dragons on Saturday. He made his mark in the game by fighting for rebounds and loose balls.
Dille also commended Tito Fierro, commenting that Saturday was the best Fierro has played all year. Fierro finished the night with 13 points.
Upcoming Action
HHS returns to competition Saturday, Feb. 2 in Wray at 2 p.m. On Jan. 19, the boys beat Wray, 40-39 in a game that came down to the last shot.

RIVERDALE, Ga. -- A 25-year-old man was shot to death in front of his family during a home invasion at the Brooks Crossing Apartments on Taylor Road Thursday night.
According to Riverdale Police Chief Samuel Patterson, armed men kicked in the back door of the David Rucker's apartment just before 10 p.m. and shot him in front of his wife and children. His family was not harmed.
Police said Rucker's wife told them she and her husband were in the master bedroom watching television when they heard someone banging at the back door. She said she could hear the blinds moving as if someone had entered the apartment.
Her husband told her to grab the kids, stay in the bedroom and to call police. She said she heard a confrontation with her husband stating his kids were present. She said that as one of the offenders tried to enter the childrens' bedrrom she said she saw a struggle between her husband and one of the offenders.
After hearing one gunshot, she said she saw her husband face down in the hallway. Police said the only description she could give of the offenders was of a black male wearing a ski mask and gloves, and dressed in all black clothing. She said she thought there were two offenders, but that she had only seen one.
Rucker was transported to Southern Regional Hospital where he was pronnounced dead.
Riverdale Police said their investigation is ongoing.

The runways and taxiways at Portland International Airport are lined with thousands of lights and signs. At night, they form a sea of reds, greens, blues, whites and ambers—each color with a specific meaning and purpose. Sometime after midnight on most Thursdays, staff from the Port's operations and maintenance departments team up to repair airfield lighting on the "D-List," or Deferred List, which is used to track lights and signs that are burned out or broken. As the name implies, the lights that make the D-List are not as critical as others, and so their repair can be deferred until the weekly repair session.
During the repairs, PDX operations staff coordinate our movement around the airfield with the FAA Control Tower, watch out for airplanes, and help the electricians locate the lights and signs to be fixed. We drive a Chevy Tahoe painted electric yellow. Meanwhile, the maintenance department typically sends out two electricians, who drive an ungainly panel van they've nicknamed "The Hog," with one or two electricians stationed at the Central Utility Plant to control the various lighting circuits around the field.
Working after dark makes it easier to find the lights that need repair; working after midnight minimizes impacts to air traffic. Once a bad light has been found, its circuit is deactivated while it's being worked on. Like a NASCAR pit crew, the electricians perform a well-rehearsed routine with agility and speed, their hands a blur of activity as they remove a faulty light fixture and pop in a new one. The circuit is re-energized, the light checks out, and it's on to the next.

|First Baptist Church welcomes Rozelle as new assistant pastor
|Written by Darci Tomky
With a desire to work in full-time ministry, Chad Rozelle recently accepted a position as assistant pastor at First Baptist Church. Having already jumped on board many of the church's ministry ventures, Rozelle will be assisting the church in expanding current programs, organizing new ones and simply helping out wherever he's needed.
Coming from working a full-time job and doing full-time ministry, Rozelle is excited to be able to focus on ministry alone. "I felt God was leading in that direction," said Rozelle, noting it was very apparent God opened doors for this opportunity.
Rozelle always knew how to answer "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Having been raised as a missionary kid, he always had a desire to serve God.
He joins Pastor Gordon Penfold and Pastor Ismael Lopez as they prepare people for the work of the ministry. With a desire to teach, Rozelle is excited to fill in at the pulpit when Penfold needs to be gone with his Fresh Start Ministries. He also looks forward to the mentoring aspect of working with Penfold.
Other ventures for the assistant pastor will be working with the young adults and young married couples as well as eventually coordinating a junior and senior high youth group. He will be helping with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) group and hopes to build relationships and connections with the youth.
Born in South America, Rozelle spent his first 10 years there while his mom worked as a missionary. "I enjoyed it tremendously," he said, noting he grew up speaking both Spanish and English. He has been refreshing his Spanish skills by interacting with First Baptist's Vida Abundante community.
Rozelle lived in Canada and Georgia for several years where he got to live as a "regular American kid" before moving to Scotland as a 16-year-old. His family grew from three to seven when his mother married his dad's brother, and he and his sister gained three more siblings. In Scotland, he experienced public, private and homeschooling situations while his parents did mission work.
Returning to America for college, Rozelle attended Northland Baptist Bible College in Dunbar, Wis. and then graduated from Cornerstone Bible Institute in Hot Springs, S.D. with degrees in Bible and pastoral studies.
While in South Dakota, he worked with youth ministry for all five years he was there and served as the youth pastor for two of those years.
He got connected with Penfold through mutual friends at his church in Hot Springs, and has spent several weeks in Holyoke interacting with people at First Baptist.
"You don't get caught up in the rush," he said, noting Holyoke has a nice pace. Growing up in a city of over seven million people, Rozelle finds Holyoke a bit "less intense." Even though people say there isn't much to do in Holyoke, Rozelle has kept busy and has something going on every night of the week including worship music practice, Bible studies, small groups and church services.
When asked about his experiences here, Rozelle simply said, "So far, so good." He is looking forward to all the new possibilities and open doors that are waiting for him in Holyoke and at First Baptist Church.

We can migrate meetings in just fine. Unfortunately, our migration of resources is running in a somewhat more difficult fashion. I have finally gotten us to the point that I can migrate a meeting in to someone's calendar with a resource as one of the attendees (so the resource gets booked) but the resource doesn't see it until the owner clicks on the message and choses "save", which of course sends a message to the meeting room and books it.
This is all very well and good, but I can't go through 500 users' accounts as part of the migration and click "save" on every single meeting. Is there a command line tool that I can use for this? I'd expect it'd be something in zmmailbox, but I'm stumped as to what.
Alternately, is there a useful tool where I can import an ICS file and have it auto-propagate to two users' calendars at once? (The resource and the organizer.)

I am interested in microbial diversity and bacterial adaptations to the environment. I currently work with undergraduate researchers on two research projects.
Siberian permafrost:
I study the survival strategies of one bacterium, Psychrobacter arcticus, which was isolated in 2000 by Vishnivetskaya and colleagues at Michigan State University, from a Siberian permafrost core that has been dated 20,000 to 40,000 years old. The Siberian permafrost is an extreme environment because of the low temperatures, low nutrient availability and small amount of unfrozen water. In the Siberian permafrost from which P. arcticus was isolated, the only unfrozen water is found as thin films surrounding organic and mineral particles. I hypothesize that P. arcticus is able to attach to surfaces in the permafrost and this attachment will provide the bacterium with access to unfrozen water, ultimately increasing survivability in the permafrost environment. What we will learn from this study will not only enhance research of microbes in extreme environments, but also may shed light on a key family of adhesins, some of which have been implicated in human disease as important factors in maintenance of infection. The current focus of my laboratory is to investigate the ability of P. arcticus to form biofilms under a variety of environmental conditions and to identify the genes necessary for attachment of the bacterium to surfaces. Six undergraduate collaborators have generated a mutant P. arcticus library, yielding four mutations mapping to one gene, which render the strains unable to form biofilms at levels equivalent to wild type. This protein encoded by this gene, which I refer to as Cat1 (cold attachment protein1 and cat1 for the corresponding gene), belongs to a family of proteins, many thought to be important for bacterial pathogenesis. We are currently characterizing the role of Cat1 in biofilm formation as well as identifying and characterizing other genes involved in biofilm formation by P. arcticus, and characterizing the role of calcium in biofilm formation.
Hog CAFO:
I also study the microbial diversity found in hog manure and the antiobiotic resistance profiles in the manure, in farm soil in which the manure has been spread, and in sediment from streams into which the CAFO farms drain. Grinnell College resides in an area of Iowa that is full of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and we would like to determine if and how these CAFOs are impacting our environment. We work with a local farmer who operates four hog CAFOs in Poweshiek County. We have been provided full access to the manure pits, farm fields onto which the manure is applied annually and streams into which farm tiles drain. Three undergraduates have participated in this project thus far and have focused attention on Escherichia coli and Enterococcus isolates and their resistance profiles. Through culture-independent techniques we are determing the presence of resistance genes in each environment. This work is also integrated into my Environmental Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis courses.

Letters: North County, Feb. 20, 2013
An outsider's view
of Quarry Creek
Wow, the U-T North County Times editorial on Feb. 11 supporting the purported "smart growth" at Quarry Creek is clearly an outsider's view ("Roses and Raspberries: A 'Blindly NIMBY' Raz").
Have the editors visited this area? Traffic along College Boulevard near the 78 is already bad at many times during the day. There are multiple retirement and assisted-living centers in that immediate area, with people in walkers and wheelchairs trying to negotiate the traffic.
Smart growth is medium-high density housing near shopping and transportation. Superficially, this might appear to be the case at Quarry Creek. But 656 new units can add thousands more automobile trips per day. This is not smart for College.
Furthermore, Buena Vista Creek valley is a gem worth preserving. Should you worry about protecting the area around the ecological reserve or the College traffic, please attend the Carlsbad Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
Paige DeCino
The government needs to hear, see you
Mark your calendar for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, to attend the Carlsbad Planning Commission meeting as the fate of east Buena Vista Valley will be determined.
Located behind Kohl's/Walmart, the old quarry is zoned for fewer than 300 homes, but plans call for 656 units. Why has Carlsbad chosen not to connect this monstrosity to their roads? Carlsbad elementary schools near the site are full — leaving parents to drive during rush hour to Buena Vista Elementary (the district wanted to close BV to fund a new high school). Yet more traffic on College Boulevard, impeding access to our regional hospital. Is all this profiteering really necessary?
There is a natural divide between the reclaimed quarry and an elevated ridge, called the Panhandle, where the developer would like to put two-story homes breathing right down on the historical Marron Adobe and the Buena Vista Ecological Reserve. If you would like to see this development scaled back and the number of homes reduced, our city government needs to hear and see you.
Come to the Planning Commission meeting or contact Mayor Hall and council at (760) 434-2808 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

This premise is lunacy
Lunacy, allegedly, is caused by exposure to strong sunlight reflected off the surface of the moon (Luna) onto the pate of uncovered weak minds on a bright, full-moon night.
Solution: Hoist a global canopy above the earth on such nights to block the Lunacy light. Engineering details for this project would be simpler than Bob Duffy's solution to another non-problem: "A plan to get rid of Social Security," Jan. 25.
Duffy invited others' perspectives on his solution. Here goes: Social Security is not a problem. It is, in fact, a highly successful solution to eternal old age penury, a solution that has worked for 80 years. If Duffy eliminates SS, he reinstitutes the original problem.
Duffy fabricated his flawed premise with this statement: "The government cannot afford to continue to pay for SS forever." The government has never paid for Social Security. All payments from this trust fund are paid by employers and the employee during one's working life. This is not an "entitlement," as claimed by the misinformed. It is an earned investment benefit. It's an insurance policy. Just look at your paycheck stub: It's itemized as "SSI," which is Social Security Insurance.
Duffy's premise is lunacy.

Drivers need to go back to school
I would like to know what happened to people when they drive. It never used to be like this, and it's getting worse.
A driver in front of me chose the wrong lane. He was in the left turn lane, instead of going straight to get on the freeway. Instead of waiting, he just jack- punched it past two cars in front of him to go where he wanted. He almost caused a crash with the two cars in front of me, who had no idea an idiot would pass them in the emergency lane.

I thought it would be fun to start a conversation on who our favorite MLB teams are and why in honor of Opening Day...
I'll start.
I'm a Braves fan for a few reasons. 1) Because of TBS. I didn't care for the Cubs and because every Braves game was televised on TBS when I was a kid, I could follow them all summer long. 2) Mom has relatives from Atlanta. The Braves were always her favorite team growing up (she lived in the south).
My first memories of cheering for the Braves come from back in 1991. Twins fans, you know what I'm talking about.
Full disclosure - the Royals are my AL team for the same reasons as above. Growing up in SW Iowa, I could watch them on TV and dad took me to KC for a game or two every summer. I'll never forget watching Ken Griffey Jr., Jay Buhner and Edgar Martinez go back-to-back-to-back in the K one night.
George Brett + Bo Jackson + Hal McRae = awesome times.

Needs a poll but...
Cardinals all the way. That's what I grew up listening to while working on the farm in SW Iowa and what dad and I would take naps to on Sunday afternoons.
Cubs fan here. Basically for the same reasons to mentioned. WGN, Harry Carrey, and several members of my family were Cubs fans when I was growing up.
Don't really have a second favorite team or a favorite AL team so when the Cubs are out of it, I pay a lot less attention to baseball.
Diamondbacks. Probly the only fan Iowa. I joined the bandwagon when i was 8 years old and they won the WS, and I stuck with it
Cardinals fan, all the way.

Even though people either love them or hate them, I am a Cubs fan. Grew up watching them on WGN and going to ICubs games as well.
Sadly I have been tuning out baseball earlier and earlier in the season lately as the Cubs kill my passion at times.
2014-15 Cyclone Fanatic NBA Fantasy Basketball Champion!
Favorite: Oakland A's
Other teams I like:
Diamondbacks, Royals, Reds
Cardinals because of my grandfather. SOO glad he grew up in Southern Illinois and was a Redbirds fan. Otherwise I may be a Cubs fan and an Iowa State fan. That would have been tough over the years.
Go Braves !!
Pittsburgh Pirates baby! 2013...the year the streak ends!

Cubs then a distant second white sox.
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
Cardinals fan here. And I would like to note that by definition, the infield fly call was technically correct.

Amber, you still exist?
Have you been lost in a field all month?
Are green Wellington boots fashion genius, or a big style risk?

By Steve Holland
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will lay out a strategy for getting around a divided Congress and boosting middle-class prosperity on Tuesday in a State of the Union speech that reflects scaled-back legislative ambitions after a difficult year.
Obama will make clear in his 9 p.m. address that he is willing to bypass U.S. lawmakers and go it alone in some areas by announcing a series of executive actions that do not require congressional approval.
The White House said Obama would announce he is issuing an executive order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for federal contract workers with new contracts.
In his address, Obama will also call on Congress to pass a bill to increase the federal minimum wage for all workers to $10.10 an hour from $7.25 and index that to inflation.
The executive order raising the level for federal workers, which applies to new contracts or existing contracts in which terms are being changed, will take effect at the beginning of next year, with janitors and construction workers among the beneficiaries. Issuing the order allows Obama to bypass Congress, where Republicans oppose a broad increase in the minimum wage.
White House officials said Obama would also announce new executive actions on retirement security and job training to help middle-class workers expand economic opportunity.
"What you'll hear in the speech tonight is very concrete, realistic proposals as it relates to wages, as it relates to education, as it relates to training, high-tech manufacturing, retirement security, those are the things that he's focused on," White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said on NBC's "Today Show."
With three years left in office, Obama has effectively reduced for now his ambitions for grand legislative actions.
Obama is expected to renew his appeal for a long-stalled immigration overhaul that has been stymied by Republicans. He will promote his signature healthcare law, four months after its disastrous initial rollout.
White House officials said the president would try to work with Congress to accomplish his agenda, but would also try to advance it through executive actions if necessary.
"We will continue to call on Congress – both sides of the aisle – to come up with new and fresh ideas for how we can grow our economy and create opportunities for the American people, but we aren't going to stop at that," White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett said on MSNBC'S "Morning Joe."
Congressional Republicans expressed skepticism.
House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said that while the president may have the authority to raise the minimum wage on federal contracts, the impact will be "close to zero" because it will only affect future contracts.
He also said an across-the-board increase in the minimum wage could harm the economy. "When you raise the cost of something you get less of it," Boehner told a news conference after a party meeting near the U.S. Capitol. "And we know from increases in the minimum wage in the past, that hundreds of thousands of low-income Americans have lost their jobs."
Obama is trying to recover from a difficult fifth year in office, when immigration and gun control legislation failed to advance in Congress, his healthcare law struggled out of the starting gate, and he appeared uncertain about how to respond to Syria's civil war.
Polls reflect a dissatisfied and gloomy country: an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Tuesday showed 68 percent of Americans saying the country is either stagnant or worse off since Obama took office. People used words like "divided," troubled" and "deteriorating" to describe the state of the country, the poll showed.
A central them of the address, Obama's sixth such annual speech in the House chamber, is addressing income inequality, as middle-class Americans struggle to get ahead even while wealthier people prosper in the uneven economic recovery.
"It comes down to economic issues," said Andy Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. "The economy is going to be the thing that determines whether people have confidence in the president. If the economy is doing well, people will forgive a lot of the things the president has done or not done."
Attending the speech will be a variety of Americans who will sit in the gallery with the president's wife, Michelle Obama, symbolizing issues important to the White House. They will include heroes from last year's Boston Marathon bombings, a firefighter who led the rescue response to an Oklahoma tornado, and an openly gay basketball player.
One of Obama's goals is to lay out ideas that Democratic congressional candidates can adopt in the run-up to November elections as they try to hold on to their Senate majority and challenge Republicans for control of the House.
Obama will talk up themes from the speech in a two-day road trip starting on Wednesday that will include stops in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

Toyota Sienna Sliding Door Problems
So, how do I tell what fix I need? On my passenger auto door, it opens and closes fine if you pull on the handle. If you press the button on the fob, it tries to close and then stops right away, and it wont open with the button either. Thanks.
that is probably the actuator. I paid about $100 for mine and it took about 3 hours being very deliberate.
I actually have a second one since there was a nick in the first one I bought so they sent another for free. I was kind of saving it in case it happens again, but we will probably sell the van in the next few months.
so, the instructions above from Bensons dont apply to the actuator?
See post #321 as mentioned above.
kvnimrls Posts: 2if you do sell the van, please let me know if i can have the extra actuator.
klr1962 Posts: 1How did you fix it
chuckman4112 Posts: 1My girlfriend has a 2009 Sienna with power sliding doors. She is having an issue with the passenger sliding door. She said she was driving and noticed the door open light was on, pulled over and closed it. After re-closing it light went off. Later, while she was driving, the door opened all the way by itself.
The door seems to function, (opening and closing with all switches, remote and manually) but I have noticed something odd that the passenger door is doing that the drivers side is not doing. When the door closes, you can hear, and see, the rear latch engage, but about 1-2 seconds later, you hear the latch again, and the door pops out ever so slightly. The other odd part of this is that when it first latches, the door is actually pulled in beyond the body line of the rear quarter. It's almost like it is pulling the door in to far. After the 1-2 second delay, and you hear the latch again, the door pops out a little, but at this point, the door is now in perfect line with the quarter panel like it should be. I tried pushing from the inside, and prying from the outside to teat the latch, but the door does not move.
I'm sure this is not normal, (as the drivers side does not do this) and now we don't know if it is going to fly open again at some point or if it is truly latched. Have you heard or seen this before? Any suggestions on what might be causing the the rear latch to disengage slightly?
gameengineer Posts: 1Awesome! Your post is old but relevant. My wife's car (2006 Sienna LE) just started showing this problem. Opening or closing the sliding door works via door handles (manual unlatching) but using any button, ie FOB, interior buttons, (motor assist unlatching) does not work. Door lurches but is still latched so it fails to open. Door lock release motor acts like it is toast.
Your part number is still valid today. I called local Toyota dealer who quoted same part (85620-08061) at $149 while the same part at Toyotapart.com (http://www.toyotapart.com/85620-08061.html) is only $80 as of this post. And the dealer was only quoting part cost not part and installation cost.
I am ok around mechanical things and I am cheap and refuse to pay $$$$ for this repair so this *shouldn't* be a problem to change out. The extra notes about the motor screws location being on the back of the control panel was good.
Hopefully this repair doesn't require any special tools you have to purchase from toyota.
Thanks so much for your very detailed post. It made a world of difference. It helped me diagnose and locate the issue without having to pull the door panel off first. Before ordering I will go ahead and pull the panel and verify the release motor is not functioning.
Good grief I have flipp'n electric toy motors that last longer than this!
sonone Posts: 1Thank you for the detailed heads up! Can I get the PDF you're mentioning?
I'm new to this forum.
If you wouldn't mind emailing it to me: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you so much!
turtle20 Posts: 1I'm all for your Facebook page. I have a 2011 with the exact same issue with no real help from dealer. They continue to brush off the issue because I can get occur with them but the symptoms continue. It seems to be more frequent when parked on any sloped surface.
I have similar problems with my '05 Sienna, so whoever mentioned not buying a first year in production model needs to reconsider that thought!
I take care of routine and all preventative maintenance on this van because it's paid off and I don't want another car payment (kids in college and private HS). We live in the Mid-Atlantic (East Coast) area and this is a summary of the problems I've had with my '05 Sienna LE:
- Trim fell off from exterior window between mid-window and rear window; interior bolt and
screw covers have fallen off and cannot be repaired
- Power door motor failed (fortunately for me, before my extended warranty expired)
- Power steering rack fell to pieces and had to be completely replaced (again under warranty)
- Power steering fluid leaks; antifreeze leaks
- Driver's side door weld failed
- Sliding doors freeze at or below 32 degrees ... sometimes for days at a time.
- Automatic transmission jumps/jolts during shift to next gear (my mechanic says that this was a known programming error, but could only be fixed under warranty or I would have to pay)
- Rear license tag light cannot be accessed for replacement even after removal of the entire rear gate interior panel!
There are more, but those are the ones that have bugged me the most. I also know that Toyota quality went out the door when our vehicles were manufactured. Don't know if I'll ever go back after this van. I never had quality issues like this with Honda!
- Trim fell off from exterior window between mid-window and rear window; interior bolt and
I'm beginning to have the same door latch release issues with my '05 Sienna, but it's definitely intermittent. Having replaced the door motor and cable assembly once already, I was told to turn off the sliding door motor when on a hill so the door motor and cable assembly don't get overworked. Since then (5+ years ago), the door has been functioning properly.
Also, does anyone have trouble getting the sliding doors to "lock" open? IOW, the door should click and hold open when fully opened, but many times, those latches don't catch.
I replaced the sliding door cable assembly and gave detailed instructions how to repair yours too on my blog at: http://johnfixesstuff.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-to-replace-the-power-sliding-door-cables-2004-207-toyota-sienna-xle.html

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
ALABAMA: Second-ranked Alabama took care of business against rival Auburn in a
dominating 49-0 win, clinching the SEC Western Division title in the process.
It was its second consecutive shutout and its fourth this season, the most for
the program in a single season since 1979. The Tide scored touchdowns on their
first seven possessions, led by A.J. McCarron, who completed 15-of-21 passes
for 216 yards and four TDs, with a pair of scoring strikes going to both Amari
Cooper (five receptions, 109 yards) and Kevin Norwood (five receptions, 65
yards). Eddie Lacy rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns, and in the process
he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Alabama (11-1, 7-1 SEC) will
play Georgia in the SEC Championship Game next week, with the winner advancing
to play Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game.
ARKANSAS: The Razorbacks squared off against No. 8 LSU on Friday, and they had
the ball in the red zone in the final minute of regulation with a chance to
tie the game, but they fell short, losing 20-13. Tyler Wilson was busy on the
day, completing 31-of-52 passes for 359 yards and a touchdown. With the
performance, Wilson became the school's all-time career passing yards leader
with 7,765, breaking Ryan Mallet's previous mark of 7,493 yards. Cobi Hamilton
(10 receptions, 98 yards) also had a record-breaking afternoon, as he now has
a program-best 175 career receptions. The defense played very well despite the
loss, holding LSU to just 306 yards of total offense. Arkansas (4-8, 2-6 SEC)
will be shut out of bowl season, and the school decided against retaining John
L. Smith as head coach for next season.
AUBURN: The Tigers' disastrous 2012 campaign finally came to an end in a
blowout loss to No. 2 Alabama, 49-0. The offense could get nothing going
against the vaunted Crimson Tide defense, producing just 163 total yards.
Freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace was terribly overmatched, as he
completed just 5-of-14 passes for 71 yards and a pair of interceptions. Tre
Mason managed to gain 88 yards on the ground, and on the final play of the
game he was able to cross the 1,000-yard mark on the season (1,002). The
defense allowed Alabama to score touchdowns on its first seven possessions
and allowed 483 yards of total offense. Auburn (3-9, 0-8 SEC) finished winless
in the conference and Gene Chizik has been relieved of his duties as head
coach just two years after winning the national title.
FLORIDA: The Gators closed out the regular season with a great showing against
the nation's No. 1 ranked defense, defeating intrastate rival Florida State,
37-26. They used a nearly 12-minute advantage in the time of possession
battle to pound away at the Seminoles and overcome a fourth-quarter deficit.
Mike Gillislee led the potent UF rushing attack with 140 yards and two
touchdowns on 24 carries, and Matt Jones (81 yards, TD) also got into the act.
Jeff Driskel returned after missing a game due to injury, but he completed
just 15-of-23 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown and was sacked four times.
The defense stepped up as well, holding FSU to 300 yards while forcing five
turnovers in the rivalry win. Florida (11-1) will now await to see which BCS
game it will receive an at-large bid to.
GEORGIA: The third-ranked Bulldogs made easy work of intrastate rival Georgia
Tech in the Governor's Cup, winning 42-10. Aaron Murray was only asked to
throw the ball 17 times, but he completed 14 of those passes for 215 yards and
two touchdowns, and with that effort he became the first quarterback in
conference history to throw for 3,000 yards in three consecutive seasons. The
freshman running back duo of Todd Gurley (97 yards) and Keith Marshall (66
yards) continued their fantastic seasons, with both rushing for a pair of
touchdowns. With the 42 points scored, Georgia (11-1) now has 456 points on
the season, breaking the previous school record of 450 sey by the 2002 club.
The Bulldogs will represent the Eastern Division in the SEC title tilt against
Alabama, with the winner earning a spot in the BCS National Championship Game.
KENTUCKY: The Wildcats finished the season without a win in the SEC as they
dropped their finale at Tennessee, 37-17. They trailed by just three points
midway through the third quarter, but the Vols ripped off 20 straight points
to close out the game. Despite the setback, Jalen Whitlow put together one of
his best games of the season, completing 29-of-45 passes for 225 yards and a
touchdown. La'Rod King caught 10 passes for 78 yards, and D.J. Warren had just
one reception for one yard, but it went for a touchdown. Jonathan George
carried the ball just eight times for Kentucky (2-10, 0-8 SEC), but he took
advantage of those limited touches by turning them into 59 yards and a score.
Obviously, the last-place Wildcats will not be participating in a bowl this
LSU: Despite being outgained by Arkansas, 462-306, the eighth-ranked Tigers
managed to hold on to win, 20-13, to claim The Battle of the Golden Boot. Zach
Mettenberger was anything but spectacular, completing 16-of-29 passes for 217
yards and a touchdown, but he managed to play mistake-free football. Jarvis
Landry (eight receptions, 75 yards) hauled in the second-quarter touchdown
that gave the Tigers a 10-0 lead, and Odell Beckham (four receptions, 112)
also had a big day receiving. Jeremy Hill only gained 77 yards on 17 carries,
but he punched the ball into the end zone in the third quarter. Despite
allowing excessive yardage, the defense stepped up by forcing two turnovers
and blocking a field goal. LSU (10-2, 6-2 SEC) will await to see if its
resume' is strong enough for a BCS bowl bid.
MISSISSIPPI STATE: The Bulldogs lost the Battle For the Golden Egg, falling to
in-state rival Ole Miss, 41-24. The game was tied, 17-17, at the half, but the
Rebels scored 24 unanswered points after intermission to put the game away.
Tyler Russell was uncharacteristically disappointing in the defeat, completing
just 18-of-33 passes for 268 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions, while
also taking three sacks. Both scoring strikes went to Chad Bumphis (six
receptions, 146 yards), who broke the school record for career receiving yards
with 2,252. Jameon Lewis returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown early in
the first quarter, the longest play in the 109-year history of the Egg Bowl.
The rushing attack was bottled up all night, gaining just 30 yards on 25
carries (1.2 ypc). Mississippi State (8-4, 4-4 SEC) will await its bowl
MISSOURI: The Tigers lost their season finale to the red-hot Texas A&M Aggies,
59-29. The offense had a productive day with 465 yards, but the defense had no
answer for Johnny Manziel, allowing 647 yards of offense to the Aggies. Corbin
Berkstresser started under center for Mizzou and completed 20-of-38 passes for
276 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, with L'Damian Washington (four
receptions, 98 yards) and Dorial Green-Beckham (four receptions, 55 yards)
being on the receiving end of the scoring strikes. Berkstresser also added 33
yards and a touchdown rushing, and Kendial Lawrence also had an impressive day
on the ground with 87 yards and a score. Missouri (5-7, 2-6 SEC) has failed to
earn bowl eligibility for the first time since 2004.
OLE MISS: The Rebels earned bowl eligibility for the first time since 2009 by
defeating intrastate rival Mississippi State, 41-24, in the Battle For the
Golden Egg. Bo Wallace was sensational in the victory. He completed just 15-
of-22 passes and tossed a pair of interceptions, but those completions went
for 294 yards and five touchdowns. The signal-caller now has 3,206 total yards
this season, becoming the only player other than Eli Manning in school history
to surpass 3,000 yards. For the second week in a row, sophomore receiver Donte
Moncrief put up a career-high yardage total, hauling in seven balls for 173
yards and three touchdowns. It was his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the
season and his 10 receiving TDs ties a school record. The rushing attack
gained 233 yards, paced by Jeff Scott with 111 on 28 carries. Ole Miss (6-6,
3-5 SEC) snapped a three-game losing streak and won its first game of the
season against a ranked opponent in five tries.
SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks prevailed over in-state rival Clemson, 27-17,
and with the win Steve Spurrier became the winningest coach in program history
with 65 victories. Jadeveon Clowney led the South Carolina defensive effort
with 4.5 sacks, giving him a single-season school record of 13. Sophomore
quarterback Dylan Thompson started in place of Connor Shaw and was fantastic,
completing 23-of-41 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns. Two of those
scores went to Bruce Ellington, who caught seven passes for 72 yards on the
afternoon. Ace Sanders (six receptions, 119 yards, TD) also had a productive
day receiving. South Carolina (10-2, 6-2 SEC) will await to see if its regular
season was strong enough for a bid to a BCS bowl game.
TENNESSEE: Although the Volunteers will not be participating in the
postseason, they managed to salvage the year somewhat by earning their first
SEC win of the season, 37-17, over the Kentucky Wildcats. Tyler Bray finished
on a high note, completing 20-of-34 passes for 293 yards with four touchdowns
and zero interceptions. Mychal Rivera (five receptions, 64 yards), Cordarrelle
Patterson (four receptions, 88 yards), Justin Hunter (three receptions, 65
yards) and Zach Rodgers (two receptions, 28) all caught touchdown passes in
Jim Chaney's first, and perhaps only, game as Tennessee's (5-7, 1-7 SEC) head
coach. The defense allowed 412 yards of offense to a poor UK unit, but it
managed to record four sacks. UT could be in for a big overhaul next year not
only with a new coach, but with the core of offensive playmakers as Bray,
Hunter and Patterson may all be leaving for the NFL.
TEXAS A&M: The Aggies closed out the regular season with yet another
dominating win, as they defeated Missouri in a 59-29 final. Freshman
quarterback Johnny Manziel put an exclamation point on his Heisman Trophy
campaign, completing 32-of-44 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns, while
rushing for a team-high 67 yards and another two scores. Mike Evans (eight
reception, 99 yards) and Ryan Swope (seven receptions, 51 yards) each caught
touchdowns from Manziel, and Malcome Kennedy also had a big day with seven
grabs for 110 yards. Christine Michael rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns
in the rout. Texas A&M (10-2, 6-2 SEC) will await to see if it's in line for
a bid to a BCS bowl game.
VANDERBILT: The Commodores closed out the regular season with a 55-21 blowout
win over Wake Forest, and in the process they earned their sixth straight
victory, their longest winning streak since 1955. Zac Stacy rushed the ball 21
times for season-high 180 yards and a pair of scores, giving him more than
1,000 yards rushing for the second straight season. Jordan Rodgers was
impressive under center, completing 17-of-23 attempts for 229 yards and two
touchdowns. Jordan Matthews caught 10 passes for 144 yards and he reeled in a
touchdown for the fourth consecutive week. Vanderbilt (8-4) has put together
its best regular season since 1982, and is waiting patiently for its bowl
