Heavy storms{}in the Midwest{}are affecting air travel, leaving many travelers in limbo. The mess from the storms has caused several cancellations and delays at Reagan National.
"Can't control the weather," says Ariele Brasel, who is visiting the D.C. area with her husband, Mark Daniel.
"We were getting ready to go back home to Seattle," she says. "Got here to the airport and found out our flight had been cancelled."
Another night in the city meant another chance to catch the city sights.
"I actually was trying to get home last night," says Molly Walsh.
It was a second attempt for Walsh, whose flight was cancelled Wednesday evening. She returned to the airport Thursday only to find out her flight was delayed five hours.
"It's what happens when you travel," she says. "You just have to take it with a grain of salt. You have to roll with it."
She can't imagine what it's been like for the airline workers.
"We were here for a board meeting, for a medical meeting, and for a little bit of vacation," Maureen McCue says.{}Her flight plans changed in minutes.
"It got delayed three of four times while we were trying to get my boarding tickets and check my bags."
The McCue's were rebooked to a flight to Dallas. Then they hope they can fly home to Iowa.

Lacan and Levi-Strauss or The Return to Freud (1951-1957)Karnac Books 2010; US$ 29.95
Lacan and Levi-Strauss are often mentioned together in reviews of French structuralist thought, but what really links their distinct projects? In this important study, Markos Zafiropoulos shows how Lacan's famous 'return to Freud' was only made possible through Lacan's reading of Levi-Strauss. Via a careful and illuminating comparison of the work of... more...
Flames from the UnconsciousKarnac Books 2009; US$ 29.95
'To feel like an impostor is a recurrent theme among artists and to feel false as a person is a crucial theme in psychoanalysis. The sense that one is living a lie is important to many and often goes with a sense that an important flame is waning. Fused with this is fear that self-discovery is sinful. Guilt, fear and shame attaches to development and... more...
The Analytic FieldKarnac Books 2009; US$ 29.95
'Until now no book has ever attempted to compare and contrast contributions on analytic field theory and at the same time to explore its clinical and technical implications. This volume is intended for the first time to link together many of these writings and to provide an initial wide-ranging survey of the subject - for it is our contention that... more...
Psychoanalytic AestheticsHarris Meltzer Trust 2009; US$ 27.95
'This is a book to which the attention of students of art theory and criticism, and all those interested in the important application of psychoanalysis to other fields of study, should be drawn. "Psychoanalytic Aesthetics" rethinks the classical account of the relation between art and madness, creativity and psychoneurosis, and the distinction between... more...
Life and ArtKarnac Books 2009; US$ 37.95
In this volume an inquiry into the nature of the creative process is attempted by paying close attention to the lives of various artists, poets, novelists and playwrights, and selected works of each in order to demonstrate an essential relationship between the two, and that it is most difficult to delineate the nuances of the creative act by treating... more...
The Aesthetic Dimension of the MindKarnac Books 2009; US$ 34.95
'In this magisterial work, the author almost encyclopaedically reviews all of Bion's works and does so from the perspective (vertex) of the aesthetic dimension. She scans virtually all the essential elements of Bion's contributions and then details them at length, giving unusual clarifications as she does so..'This work constitutes an outstanding piece... more...
Tragic Knots in PsychoanalysisKarnac Books 2009; US$ 26.95
This is a collection of published and unpublished papers on clinical, theoretical and applied aspects of psychoanalysis that take up various aspects of unconscious mental processes and conflicts and their expression in the clinical transference and countertransference.

Sweet DreamsKarnac Books 2009; US$ 29.95
A previously unpublished work by Robert Stoller. 'It was like discovering a previously unknown recording by the Beatles. On a 2007 visit to Robert Stoller's widow, Sybil, she handed me a manuscript.

Perversions of FascismKarnac Books 2009; US$ 41.95
Contemporary versions of evil demonise modern "fascists", "totalitarian threats", and "Hitlers". As if not obscure enough, fascist evil has been equivocally linked with perversion. This book reveals that both fascism and perversion implicate the non-symbolisable kernel in politics, which becomes the source of their mystification. It argues that the... more...
Psychoanalytic Practice and State RegulationKarnac Books 2008; US$ 27.95
'This book arises out of an important international conference held in March 2006 to discuss how regulation by the state has affected psychoanalysis as a clinical discipline in many different parts of the world.

Ableton Live 6 provides lots of user-friendly tools for solving production problems quickly. When it comes to comping (compositing) a final audio track out of several takes, though, you'll have to resort to one or two old-fashioned manual methods. But with a little patience, you can comp vocals or other audio tracks and achieve fully professional results.
Recording the raw material is easy. If you're working in Session view, the first step is to record your session into the arrangement. Next, set the arrangement loop markers to define the region where you want to do multiple takes, and turn on the Punch-In, Punch-Out, and Loop Switches. Now create an audio track, arm it for recording (see Fig. 1), check your audio input levels, put on the headphones, and record.
FIG. 1: The track input is set to channel 1 (for mono recording) and the red Record button is armed.
After recording several takes in Loop mode, stop the transport. You'll see an audio clip in the track. Only your last take will be visible in the clip, but never fear: Live has recorded all of the takes as one long chunk of audio. Now for the comping process (see "Step-by-Step Instructions" on p. 76).
Create an audio track to hold each take. With the mouse, grab the clip in the recorded track and drag-copy it down into each of the other tracks, being careful to drag vertically so that all of the duplicate clips start on the same bar line. Mute all but one of the tracks; you'll want to listen to only one at a time. You may also want to expand each track vertically to view the waveform.
Learn all about Ableton Live in one place. Find tutorials, reviews, videos, artist interviews all about Ableton Live on the Ableton Hot Topic page.
Select the clip in the first track. The Sample Display will show the entire audio recording. Your last take will be highlighted by the Start and End Markers. To get a separate take on each track, drag these markers manually to different points in the various clips. To ensure that the various takes don't get out of sync with one another, go to the Options menu and make sure Snap To 16th is active.
If your take is 16 bars long, for example, you may want to put the Start Marker at bar 1 and the End Marker at bar 17 in the clip in the first track; the Start Marker at bar 17 and the End Marker at bar 33 in the second track; and so on. If the takes start in an odd spot, such as bar 19, you may find it easier to use a pencil and paper to keep track of the start and end points while you work. At the end of this process, each clip will be assigned a separate zone within the audio.
Next, set the Arrangement Loop to enclose the first phrase that you have recorded. Mute and unmute the takes one at a time, listen to each take, and jot down a few notes on which phrases you might want to keep. Then move on to the next phrase and repeat the process.
If your song is divided into neat phrases, and if you want each chunk in the composite to comprise an entire phrase (often a good idea for musical reasons), it may save time to split each take apart now. This is done by selecting the clip, clicking on the waveform in the track (not on the clip rectangle itself) to move the transport to the right spot, and then using the Edit menu's Split command. You can split multiple clips at the same spot by Shift-clicking on their waveforms and then using the Split command.
Mute the clip segments you don't want by right-clicking on each of them and choosing Deactivate Clip(s) from the pop-up menu. Now unmute all of the tracks, and you can listen to your composite take from end to end.
If the takes were somewhat free rhythmically, you may find that no matter where you split them apart, you'll hear an abrupt butt joint when one clip transitions into the next. The solution is to program crossfades using track automation.
When you're happy with the comped track, Live offers three ways to clean up the project. The easiest method is to drag the active clips up or down so that they all reside on a single track. This is practical only if you haven't done any crossfading, however. Alternatively, you can mute everything else and bounce the mix to a new audio track. This is done by setting the various comp tracks' outputs to the new track's input and then arming it for recording. If the goal is to apply effects to the comp track, you may prefer to route the existing tracks through a new effects track.
Jim Aikin is a music-technology guru, a cello teacher, and a hobbyist computer programmer. Visit him online at
After loop-recording several takes, only the last take will be visible in the track. Drag-copy this clip to as many additional audio tracks as needed.
The Start and End Markers within each of the copied clips will be set to the final take.
Zoom in and move the Start and End Markers within the copies so that each copy plays a separate take. Make sure the Markers snap to bar lines.
After the unwanted portions of the takes are muted using the Deactivate Clip(s) command, you''ll have a composite.
To smooth abrupt transitions, crossfades between clips can be created manually using the Track Volume envelope.
If you don''t need crossfades, you can combine the clips you want to keep by dragging them up or down to the same track.

Beatles Anniversary RememberedBreaking News
It's also worth noting that these days we seem to be reconstructing a shadow history of the band and its achievements. That is, almost every year now we observe some milestone of the Beatles. Last year it was the anniversary of the group's astonishing 1964 appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Two years from now, June 2007, the occasion will be a commemoration of 1967's "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - an epochal work that still stands as popular music's most famous and form-breaking album. Commentators from all over the world will weigh in on that one.
Which raises a number of questions: Why do we continue to pore over the Beatles' high points? Why is it that those lifetime-ago moments still fascinate us? In part, of course, it's simply because there's such an undeniable epic arc in both the Beatles' story and in their music. Certainly, they possessed an extraordinarily intuitive skill for filling the needs of their times, and for realizing the potential of their own talents.
But there's another reason, just as important, that accounts for the lasting appeal of their history: The Beatles demonstrated that musical and social change could emanate from the shared spirit of the same body politic.

amazing pic hun x
very nice capture !
Well done!
Sometimes a silo, is just a silo...but not this time.
Wonderful shot, Scott. The model is spectacularly beautiful and perfectly proportioned. I'd love to see the full colour version of this. Anyway, I wonder if the tower (silo) behind her was meant deliberately as a phallic symbol.
Superb shot!!!!
Outstanding. Lighting, background and of course the subject. Love quality B&W
Nice in all ways, would like to see more of her please!! ^_^

Cowboys edge Sooners in this Bedlam battle
It just might be Oklahoma State's year, folks.
American Propane, 7401 N Broadway, recently hosted our first Bedlam Tailgating Showdown, and Bart Towne of Stillwater brought home the gold on behalf of the Cowboys.
If the pigskin-tossing Pokes get half the fight Towne got from Sooner fan Daniel Kirn, then we might be looking at overtime this Saturday.
The competitors cooked their hearts out but found plenty of time to get to know each other and forge a bond that transcends the four quarters of football that will be played in Stillwater 48 hours after turkey day.
Kirn brought his handmade, full-size Sooner Schooner to the event but added a Cowboys flag to his usual myriad Sooner effects.< p>"It takes two teams to compete" is Kirn's credo. "Our tailgate isn't about hate."
Towne, who showed up with the trailer-sized smoker he made himself, walked away with a new portable Hasty-Bake grill from American Propane and $1,000 in vouchers for beef at Homeland and United stores. Kirn took home $500 in vouchers for his gallant effort.
Each left with new friends and a healthy respect for the passion each side puts into its tailgates.
Towne, a power lineman who grew up in Kingfisher but calls Stillwater home now, said, "I might've won, but those Sooners did an incredible job."
The judges concurred with the eventual champion. Kirn's skill and attitude were impossible not to notice. It would be easy for a man battling inoperable brain cancer that caused the loss of one of his eyes to have anything but a sunny disposition. Kirn competed with enough positive energy to light up a stadium. And he could cook.
"Best ham I ever ate, right there," Towne said of Kirn's signature, slow-cooked version.
But beef was the main course this evening.
Because football and beef are both Oklahoma mainstays, the contestants were tasked to create a dish using Homeland's new Red River Ranch Dry-aged Beef along with their regular tailgating fare.
The evening commenced in the cabana at American Propane. Judges included the Oklahoma Beef Council's Heather Buckmaster; Park Riddle, who brought the meat from Homeland; American Propane owner Jim Grigsby; and me.
Kirn turned the strip steaks into his tailgate's signature shish kebabs rubbed in spices, most distinctly coarse ground black pepper. He added some sliced potatoes and cauliflower. Also included at his tailgate was his signature ham and rum-soaked pineapple.
Towne grilled his strips whole, serving them on grilled baguette slices with scalloped potatoes and the green beans to end all green beans. The Kingfisher clan also had "Cowboys"-branded sausages, peanut butter cake and grilled jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon.
In the end, judgment came down to the wire. If Towne's offerings scored a 10, Kirn's scored a 9.9.
In six weeks and three visits to each campus, I met an incredible procession of people. Fans disagree on color scheme and fight song, but I found a lot more similarities than differences — hospitality being the No. 1 common denominator. Passion was plentiful. Community couldn't be stronger. And there are tons and tons of cooking talent. Both Kirn and Towne displayed the overall tailgate we were looking for: great food, great spirit and an atmosphere that was fit for fans of all ages.
Each showed the devotion, precision and class during the competition that confirmed we'd made the right choices.
The surprising Cowboys are on a collision course with their first Big 12 Championship Game, and the only thing between them is the Sooners. Before that game, Boone Pickens Stadium will be surrounded by thousands of tailgaters — mostly in orange, but plenty in crimson and cream.
I know the Kingfisher clan has invited the Schooner to tailgate at their side on the corner of Athletic and Hester. The gang was a little reticent as they had drawn some ire in past tailgates in Stillwater, but it would be a shame if they can't make it.
I can guarantee that no matter if you're orange down to your underwear, there's no way you wouldn't be welcome and no way you'd walk away anything but impressed. You've got a championship tailgater from Stillwater by way of Kingfisher who's got their back.

The euro moved lower vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar Tuesday as the single currency tested bids around the US$ 1.4680 level and was capped around the $1.4825 level. Technically, today's intraday low was right around the 38.2% retracement of the move from $1.2475 to $1.6040. Traders are awaiting details from testimony from Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan and Treasury Secretary Paulson before the Senate Banking Commission. Many dealers are pessimistic about the U.S. government's plan to transfer US$ 700 billion in toxic assets from banks' balance sheets and believe it could require more than US$ 1 trillion to recapitalize the U.S. financial system. Others are asking what would happen if the government bailout fails to achieve its desired results.
Bernanke's prepared remarks will report "financial markets remain under extraordinary stress" while Paulson will call for "further, decisive action to fundamentally and comprehensively address the root cause of this turmoil." The government will need to adopt legislation enabling it to hold illiquid mortgage-backed securities that have made it difficult for financial institutions to issue new asset-backed commercial paper. The Fed approved the applications of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to become bank holding companies.
Data released in the U.S. today saw the Richmond Fed's September manufacturing index worsen to -18 from -16 in August while the July house price index fell 0.6%. In eurozone news, the EMU-15 PMI survey fell to 47.0 in September from 48.2 in August, its lowest reading since November 2001. Also, EMU-15 July industrial orders were up 1.0% m/m. European Central Bank's Kranjec cited a "slowing down of activity" while ECB's Provopoulos cited a "slowing economy and higher inflation."
Additionally, ECB's Liikanen said financial markets are the "biggest risk to growth" while ECB's Gonzalez-Paramo said the central bank is dissatisfied with current inflation. ECB President Trichet said the financial market correction is an "ongoing process." The ECB will likely be displeased with reports that Germany's IG Metall union is seeking an 8% wage hike. Euro bids are cited around the US$ 1.3840 level.
Japanese Yen
The yen depreciated vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar today as the greenback tested offers around the ¥106.00 figure and was supported around the ¥105.15 level. Liquidity was reduced on account of a market holiday in Japan. Three-month implied options volatility for dollar/yen rose to 14.25%, nearing the six-month peak of 14.80% reached last Friday. This suggests the spot rate may trade in wider ranges through early 2009. On the political front, former Taro Aso is expected to be formally named the next Prime Minister of Japan tonight and he may name former trade minister Nakagawa as the next finance minister, replacing current finance minister Ibuki. The Nikkei 225 stock index will reopen overnight.
U.S. dollar bids are cited around the ¥102.45 level. The euro moved lower vis-à-vis the yen as the single currency tested bids around the ¥155.20 level and was capped around the ¥156.30 level.
The British pound gained ground vis-à-vis the yen as sterling tested offers around the ¥196.40 level while the Swiss franc weakened vis-à-vis the yen and tested bids around the ¥97.45 level. The Chinese yuan appreciated vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar as the greenback closed at CNY 6.8135 in the over-the-counter market, down from CNY 6.8300.
British Pound
The British pound appreciated vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar today as cable tested offers around the US$ 1.8635 level and was supported around the $1.8485 level. Technically, today's intraday low was right around the 38.2% retracement of the move from $2.0155 to $1.7440 level. Data released in the U.K. today saw BBA August mortgage approvals fall to a record low. CBI's retail sales survey will be released tomorrow. Cable bids are cited around the $1.7605 level. The euro came off vis-à-vis the British pound as the single currency tested bids around the ₤0.7930 level and was capped around the ₤0.7980 level.
Swiss Franc
The Swiss franc slumped vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar today as the greenback tested offers around the CHF 1.0855 level and was supported around the CHF 1.0725 level. Technically, today's intraday low was right around the 38.2% retracement of the move from CHF 1.2465 to CHF 0.9645. Swiss National Bank allotted US$ 10 billion in repo to provide U.S. dollar liquidity to the markets. U.S. dollar offers are cited around the CHF 1.1430 level. The euro and British pound gained ground vis-à-vis the Swiss franc as the crosses tested offers around the CHF 1.5960 and CHF 2.0100 levels, respectively.

Update on IrmaIrma is married and has a daughter. She lives in her own home with one floor and a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The building is made of adobe and the floor of cement. The house is located in Tembladerani in the city of La Paz, in a street without much street lighting at night.
Irma currently works traveling and collecting all kinds of clothing which she sells in different areas. She is self employed, and works in Tembladerani in the city of La Paz at the moment. She supports her family by paying for food, bills, and her daughter's education. Her husband works in the interior of the country.
She needs this loan to buy more merchandize (all kinds of clothing), because she has very little working capital which means that she does not sell much merchandize. The loan will help her to increase her earnings.
This is the fifth time that she is requesting a loan from IMPRO and the third from KIVA.

Additional Information
About IMPROIMPRO is a small non-profit organization that has been offering micro credit to the working poor in the Bolivian cities of La Paz and El Alto since 1995. IMPRO's goal is to fight poverty by offering loans to small business owners who cannot access credit through the regular banking system due to a lack of guarantees or collateral.
To ensure that everyone has access to credit, IMPRO maintains a low interest rate by minimizing operational costs. IMPRO's partnership with Kiva, which began in 2007, has allowed IMPRO to expand its services while maintaining these low interest rates.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

text: Capitol Music Independent Stores in an On-Line World By Rich Egger • Sep 30, 2012 Rich Egger Once upon a time, browsing through a book or record store was one of life's simple pleasures. But now many people prefer to browse on-line, which is making it more difficult for independent stores to remain in business, especially in small towns. But there are independent stores that are finding ways to keep the doors open. One example is Stone Alley Books & Collectibles in Galesburg. Owner Ben "Stone" Stomberg said he once sold comics on-line. But when the Walden Bookstore in town closed, he got a loan and a grant from the city and set up shop on Seminary Street.

Maruti Suzuki Ritz
Price: Rs3.90 lakhs to Rs4.80 lakhs
Variants: Petrol – LXi,ZXi & VXi | Diesel – Ldi & Vdi
Expectation: Not announced
"Yes, we did consider the competition when it came to positioning the Ritz, but we also had to see how it fitted with regards to our Swift,"Mayank Pareek, executive officer-marketing & sales, Maruti Suzuki said. "A small number, around 5-7%, of Swift customers may shift to Ritz, but that will benefit us as there is already a waiting period both for Swift diesel and petrol. This way, we will bring down the waiting period for Swift and also add to Ritz sales,"Mr Pareek added.
Honda Jazz
Price: Rs6.98 lakhs to Rs7.33 lakhs
Variants: Jazz basic,jazz sport and Jazz mode
Expectation: Half the number of city. 1200 -1500 units a month
"We expect the customer of a Jazz to be an owner of an executive car looking for a second car, which will probably be a compact car. It's unlikely the Jazz customer will be a first-time buyer. It'll take time for this premium segment to gain acceptance. We are willing to wait for three-four years for this to happen," Honda Siel President and CEO Masahiro Takedagawa said.
Fiat Grande Punto
Price: Rs3.99 to Rs6.11
Variants: Active, Dynamic, Emotion, Emotion Pack
Expectation: 2500units/month
"We do expect to sell 2,500 units of the Grande Punto each month. The car is in the B-plus segment where it will have to compete with the likes of the Honda Jazz and Chevrolet UVA" Mr Rajeev Kapoor, CEO, Fiat India Automobile said.

MIAMI (AP) -- LeBron James scored 30 points, Udonis Haslem made his last eight shots on the way to a 16-point night, and the Miami Heat used a dominant third quarter to turn things around and beat the Indiana Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday.
Mario Chalmers scored 12 and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who lead the series 3-2 and will look to close it out at Indiana on Saturday night. The Heat ousted the Pacers in six games in a second-round matchup last season.
Paul George had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 22 points from Roy Hibbert and 17 from David West

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Eric Gay, Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. — Rick Santorum is looking for another upset or two, while Mitt Romney is hoping to keep his leading rival at bay in the run-up to the 20th debate of the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could do well," the former Pennsylvania senator told supporters Tuesday after arriving ahead of any of his rivals for pre-debate campaigning in Arizona, a state that has long been assumed safe for Romney.
Both Arizona and Michigan hold primaries on Feb. 28, but until recently, at least, the similarities seemed to end there.
Polls have long shown Romney with a solid lead in Arizona, where all of the 29 delegates at stake are reserved for the top vote-getter in the primary. As a result, neither he, Santorum, Newt Gingrich nor Ron Paul has devoted much time to the state.
A surging Rick Santorum is running even with Mitt Romney atop the Republican presidential field, but neither candidate is faring well against President Barack Obama eight months before Americans vote, a new survey shows.
Meantime, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows that President Barack Obama tops 50 percent support when matched against each of the four GOP candidates and holds a significant lead over each of them.
In Arizona, television ads have been scarce. None of the candidates has run commercials, and Restore Our Growth, an outside group that has played a major role in Romney's success so far in the campaign, is the only organization to pay for ads.
In Michigan, by contrast, Romney's lead in public and private surveys began eroding earlier this month when Santorum won upset victories in caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado and a non-binding primary in Missouri on a single night. Now the one-time front-runner campaigns as though he is behind.
Not surprisingly, Romney, Santorum and their allies have poured money into television ads in Michigan — about $5 million combined, with additions made Tuesday for the race's final week.
While Wednesday's debate is in Arizona, the stakes are heightened because some previous encounters have had an impact far beyond the state where they were held.
Most notably, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry never recovered from his failure to recall the third of three federal agencies he wanted to abolish. His lapse came in a debate in Michigan last November.
And Romney righted his campaign a month ago when he excelled in a pair of Florida debates after losing the South Carolina primary to Gingrich.
Romney campaigned in Michigan on Tuesday, and was pulled into a discussion of social issues by questioners at a town-hall style rally in Shelby Township.
Asked how he would defend religious liberty, he said Obama's administration has "fought against religion" and sought to substitute a secular agenda for one grounded in faith.
"Unfortunately, possibly because of the people the president hangs around with, and their agenda, their secular agenda — they have fought against religion," he said.
Obama's campaign seized on the characterization, calling Romney's comments disgraceful and likening them to recent comments by Santorum. The former Pennsylvania senator said recently the president holds a "phony theology," then insisted he wasn't attacking the president's faith, but his environmental views.
Republicans have accused Obama of violating religious liberties when the administration recently announced that except for churches, most employers would be required to make birth control available as an insurance benefit as part of the health care overhaul Congress passed in 2010. The White House backtracked, but not enough to satisfy conservatives.
Romney, who has had trouble winning the votes of tea party advocates, said they should be in his corner.

EconoMeter: Should Congress extend unemployment benefits?
Should Congress extend Bush tax cuts and lower Social Security charges?
But it is important at the same time to make a concrete commitment today to address the looming deficits in the coming years. Making the changes explicitly temporary is an important ingredient in maintaining that balance.
Gary London, The London Group
Answer: Yes
There are very few tools left in the "tool box" to bolster economic recovery. While revenues are needed, the better fix is to focus on (1) economic stimulation, which is likely bolstered if taxpayers have more money to spend, a probable result of these temporary moratoriums and reductions, and (2) cost reduction. Hopefully the new "balance of power" will continue to find common ground.
Liberals can no longer press for government to help in every way if prosperity is dim and the cupboards are bare. Conservatives can't just keep advocating for tax cuts without cutting government costs in every uncomfortable area. They both had better start talking to each other. The president seems mostly to understand the value of that!
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
Answer: No
Extending unemployment insurance for a prolonged period of time (with the maximum length of benefits currently at nearly two years) may be exacerbating the high level of joblessness by dissuading individuals from taking lower-paying jobs that are available. Reducing Social Security taxes for one year is unlikely to spur much economic activity, since temporary tax cuts are generally mostly saved. A reduction in payroll taxes would only further aggravate the long-run unfunded liability of the Social Security system. Especially with the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary easing and no rise in income tax rates, the economy needs no more fiscal stimulus. Americans can stand on their own two feet.
Dan Seiver, San Diego State University
Answer: Yes
These measures will stimulate a still-sputtering economy. We need more fiscal expansion now, since monetary policy, with more quantitative easing, is already as stimulative as it can be. The one-year Social Security tax cut will stimulate consumer spending a bit, and extending unemployment insurance will help those most hurt by the Great Recession. These extra expenditures should not be covered with cuts elsewhere, or this modest stimulus will be ineffective. We still need to balance the budget, but not when the economy remains so weak. History shows that recoveries from collapses caused by exploding credit and debt bubbles often take many years. Japan is still trying to recover after 20 years. We can and should do better.

Rumours on the internet suggest that changes to the Mexican pavilion are in the early planning stage. Apparently the feeling is that another table service location is needed to cope with the dining plan
-The old Cantina building on the Lagoon will be torn down, and a new 2-story building built in the same place. It will be a Table Service location, with a menu and price-point similar to the current San Angel Inn inside the pavilion.
-The current San Angel Inn will become an upscale (perhaps Signature?) restaurant like Jiko and Maya Grill.
-The jewelry shop will relocate within the pavilion, and what is currently the jewelry shop will become a fajita & tequilla bar. (I recall that there's been talk of the tequilla bar inside the pavilion for a long time)

In this paper, we link age differences in gaze patterns toward emotional stimuli to later mood outcomes. While one might think that looking at more positive emotional material leads to better moods, and looking at more negative material leads to worse moods, it turns out that links between emotional looking and mood depend on age as well as individual differences. Though older people can feel good by looking more at positive material, in some cases young adults actually feel better by engaging visually with the negative. These age effects are further moderated by attentional abilities. Such findings suggest that different age groups may use looking differently, and this may reflect their preferences for using distinct emotion regulatory strategies. This work also serves as a reminder that regulatory efforts are not always successful at improving mood.

A Capitol Fourth
A new and unexpected tradition in connection with the A Capitol Fourth concert began in 1991, when Tony Bennett was the headline performer. Aware of Bennett's passion for art, Executive Producer Jerry Colbert invited the popular singer to paint a Fourth of July image to celebrate our nation's birthday. Bennett was pleased to do so, and his painting became the first commemorative poster. In subsequent years, a variety of artists have contributed patriotic paintings and photographs featuring iconic images of our nation's capital city for the annual A Capitol Fourth official poster. We are pleased to continue this tradition in 2015.
The official concert poster symbolizes the magnificent experience of celebrating the Fourth of July at the U.S. Capitol with unrivaled musical performances by a star-studded cast and the internationally acclaimed National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Jack Everly.
In 2015, our poster features the U.S. Capitol amid a magnificent fireworks display. Please click the image to download a print-ready copy of the Official 2015 Concert Poster!

Maholm agrees to $14.5M, 3-year deal with Pirates
Left-hander Paul Maholm avoided an arbitration hearing by agreeing Friday to a $14.5 million, three-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who also finalized a $1.5 million, one-year deal with free-agent utilityman Eric Hinske.
Maholm's agreement locks him up through his remaining arbitration years and includes a club option for 2012. He was the most effective starter on a 95-loss Pirates team last season, going 9-9 with a 3.71 ERA in 31 starts.
He receives $3.5 million this season, $4.5 million in 2010 and $5.75 million in 2011. Pittsburgh holds a $9.75 million option for 2012 with a $750,000 buyout, and the option price can escalate to $11.05 million based on his performance.
"It's a load off me," Maholm said of getting the contract issue out of the way. "It's all about baseball and winning. I don't have to worry about anything going from year to year. For me, this is perfect."
Pittsburgh had offered Maholm $2.65 million in arbitration and he had countered with $3.8 million. Maholm went through a mandatory physical on Friday.
The 26-year-old Maholm, a first-round pick in the 2003 amateur draft, is 30-35 with a 4.30 ERA in 96 career games -- all starts, and all with Pittsburgh.
General manager Neal Huntington said the deal was worked out because "both sides wanted this to happen."
Hinske replaces the unsigned Doug Mientkiewicz as the Pirates' top player off the bench, although Mientkiewicz hit .277 last season and was a fan favorite in Pittsburgh. During last week's Pirates offseason festival, a fan received a standing ovation when he asked management why Mientkiewicz hadn't been re-signed.
The 31-year-old Hinske figures to gives the Pirates more power than Mientkiewicz, who homered twice in 285 at-bats last season. Hinske hit .247 with 20 homers and 60 RBIs in 381 at-bats with Tampa Bay and had a career-high 24 homers as the AL rookie of the year with Toronto in 2002. He played for the Blue Jays in 2002-06 and the Red Sox in 2006-07.
The left-handed hitting Hinske can play first base, third base, left field and right field, although the majority of his playing time has been at third base.
"He's a good fit. He's blue collar, hardworking, gritty," Huntington said. "He's not as vocal as Doug but it might be hard to be as vocal as Doug. From our standpoint, it was a sacrifice worth making because of Eric's versatility."
Hinske's salary nearly doubles his base of $800,000 last year, when he earned another $250,000 in performance bonuses. He can earn up to $1 million in performance bonuses in his new deal.
"He (Huntington) assured me I'll get at-bats and be a big part of the clubhouse," Hinske said, a reference to the leadership role Mientkiewicz played last season.
Since the Pirates hired president Frank Coonelly and Huntington 18 months ago, they have given multiyear contracts to Maholm, catcher Ryan Doumit, second baseman Freddy Sanchez, right-handed reliever Matt Capps and right-hander Ian Snell.
Their only unsigned veteran player is All-Star outfielder Nate McLouth. Talks on a multiyear contract broke down last month and have not resumed.

Balance 20/20: Six Keys to a Harmonious Life
Most people are shaken by extreme events. But it s not necessary to be struck down by illness, a layoff, the threat of divorce, or the loss of a loved one before we evaluate priorities and reshape life along more sane lines. Instead, the more we reshape our lives to achieve better balance now, the more immediately we can enjoy the riches life offers.
Balance 20/20 helps readers find the balance they need to have enough time for everything and everyone and to enjoy life. Author George Bartko recently quit his high-paying corporate job to devote himself completely to his burgeoning business. He used the system he describes in Balance 20/20 to successfully make the transition to living his dreams.
Bartko calls his system The Six Pillars of Life Balance. The six pillars are key areas that make up daily life: Connections, Mind, Motion, Spirituality, Fuel, and Business. In order to balance these six pillars, Bartko recommends analyzing which of these key areas we spend too much time on and which areas we neglect. To help, Bartko offers a quiz at the beginning of each chapter so that readers can begin to see which of the six pillars need development and which areas need less time spent on them. Bartko s advice is clear and compelling even for those pillars that are balanced, there s room to fine-tune and improve to get the most out of our days, the most out of our lives.
Balance 20/20 offers recipes to help bring balance to the "fuel" pillar. And Bartko s stunning photography throughout offers visual inspiration to building balance into every day.
