[Editor's Note: While we cannot address every wrong in the world, the horrifying situation at Steubenville, Ohio led us to ask contributing writer, Justin Holcomb, to write on the matter of sexual assault. How can we best help those who have experienced the trauma of sexual assault? What can we do to foster a culture of safety in our communities and churches?]
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."
~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In the small Ohio town of Steubenville, several high-school football players have been charged in the gang-rape and kidnapping of a 16-year-old girl at multiple parties while she was allegedly drugged and unconscious. The story is making headlines after hacking group Anonymous released photos and video of teenagers laughing about the assault with jokes like, "She is so raped right now." Leaked photos recovered from Instagram also show what appear to be members of the so-called "Rape Crew" holding the limp, unconscious victim by her wrists and ankles. The incident, which occurred in August and rose to prominence after the New York Times reported it in December, turned into a scandal after the leaked information suggested the case was being covered up by town leaders to protect the high-school athletes at the center of the case.
Tragically, incidences of sexual violence like Steubenville are all too common. In fact, the problem is actually worse than you might think from the news stories: sexual assault is one of the most under-reported crimes, and less than 40 percent of all sexual assaults are reported to law enforcement. This is because of the unique shame, fear, and embarrassment that sexual assault victims experience. The pressure to say nothing is compounded by our culture of victim-blaming in which rape and assault victims are often said to be "asking for it" by dressing too provocatively, going out alone too late at night, or drinking too much. The victim-blaming impulse shows up every time these stories appear. In the Ohio case, some residents have blamed the girl, accusing that she "put the football team in a bad light and put herself in a position to be violated."
Defining Assault and Consent
With the prevalence of sexual violence, it is important to have a clear definition of sexual assault and consent. Many victims are not sure if what happened to them was assault, and the shame and pressure to remain silent lead to a recurring cycle of traumatization.
"Sexual assault" is the current legal term that replaced the former narrow definition of rape, though some states use the terms interchangeably. In Rid of My Disgrace (the book my wife and I wrote on gospel hope and healing for sexual assault victims), our definition of sexual assault is: any type of sexual behavior or contact where consent is not freely given or obtained and is accomplished through force, intimidation, violence, coercion, manipulation, threat, deception, or abuse of authority.

T.J. Dillashaw will have to settle for Joe Soto at UFC 177
New bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw celebrates his TKO win over opponent Renan Barao (not pictured) following their UFC 173 bantamweight championship bout at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 24, 2014 in Las Vegas, NV, USA. (Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports)

One of the most anticipated fights of the year is a no-go.
Instead of taking on Renan Barao on Saturday night, bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw will be stepping into the octagon for a fight with … umm … Joe Soto.
Joe Soto.
Again, who?
Well, Soto's a man who is ranked nowhere near the division's top-10 and happens to have a grand total of zero UFC fights to his name.
The 27-year-old stepped in on Friday to fight Dillashaw in the main event of UFC 177 after Barao fell ill while cutting weight and was forced to withdraw.
"I was lying on the floor in my restroom naked, cooling off on the tiles, and a UFC number was calling me," Soto told UFC.com. "I was like 'man, what is this about?' and they called me downstairs and asked me if I wanted the shot, and I said I'll take it."
Given that the Barao-Dillashaw rematch -- Dillashaw shocked fight fans with his dominant win over the Brazilian at UFC 173 in May -- was one of the most anticipated fights on the 2014 UFC calendar, the last-second switch-up is undeniably a disaster for the promotion.
Soto deserves credit for stepping up with only 24-hours notice, but despite a Bellator title to his name, he's a complete unknown to casual fans. Plenty of pundits were already criticizing the UFC 177 undercard, and the replacement main-event won't be much of a draw.
It's also not great for Dillashaw, who'll be defending the UFC title for the first time. Ariel Helwani, of MMAFighting.com, spoke with members of the 28-year-old's camp and reported he wasn't pleased with the change in opponent. They told him Dillashaw considers Soto a "tough out."
As for Soto, the Californian admitted that there'd be some jitters.
"Dillashaw's tough, but I'm gonna go out there and give it my all," Soto said. "I actually trained with him not too long ago, and he's good.
"I'm gonna try to make it as normal as possible and I still have to make sure I do the right things. It's a fight. I train every day and I don't do nothing else but train all day every day to be ready to fight anytime, anywhere. I'm as ready as I ever could be for anything."
Soto's road to the UFC has been anything but straightforward. He's compiled a 15-2 pro record and is a former college roommate of Jon Jones. A detached retina threatened his career at one point, but a six-fight win streak earned him a shot in the UFC against Anthony Birchak, initially scheduled for the preliminary card on Saturday night.
Instead, he'll be fighting for the UFC bantamweight championship with the chance of landing one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.
It may not be the fight that fans were begging for, but it'll have to do.
There's been plenty of speculation about a fight that would pit Matt Brown against Tyron Woodley.
The two welterweights both sit in the UFC's top-5, and with Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald both getting the next two shots at Johny Hendricks' belt, it's the matchup that appears to make the most sense for both fighters.
Apparently, Dana White thinks differently.
"What's weird about that is that Woodley (No. 3) calls out Matt Brown (No.5), but he's ranked higher," White told UFC.com. "We want to do Tyron Woodley vs. Hector Lombard, that's the fight we want to do.
"Hector said yes, we're just waiting to hear from Woodley."
Lombard is currently ranked No. 6 in the division, and booking that fight would likely mean the UFC could proceed with its plans to pit Brown against No. 4-ranked Carlos Condit.

Create, Change, Edit and Apply OS X Icons... Free.
Get the Icon Editor Pack!
Here's the freeware you need...
OS X Icon Editor is a site dedicated to free production of icons for Mac OS X. All these programs are freeware, and I use them all on 10.4.8 without problems. I also provide the link to the place where I got them, in case you would rather get them from the source.
Everything on this site is free. No ads. You can keep any images you see. Download anything you like. Use at your free will. Have fun. Mac OS X icons are now yours to create, change, edit and apply... free.
Turn any picture into an icon, free. Pic2Icon is the first step in authoring OS X icons. Run the program, then drag the picture file onto the icon in the dock. Your picture file now has an icon of itself! This program also does batch conversions. Say you have an entire folder of pictures that have the general PNG, JPG, etc. icons. Run the program, select Open Images, and convert the entire folder of pictures
click to read more and download...
See an icon you want? Save it as a 128x128 32 bit .png file! Save any icon, from folders, applications, or files, just drag the thing with the icon onto the program in the dock! Have a program or file with a great icon except... you wish you could change it? Yep, do it free. You can set the preferences to save that .png file where ever you want. I used this program to get all the icon pictures in this site.
click to read more and download...
Just what the name says. Some applications use ICNS files to store the icons. Mail for OS X is an example. If you just want that 128x128 icon, convert it with this free tool.
click to read more and download...
Create an ICNS file from that icon you just made, free. ICNS files store different sizes of icons, to make them look better at smaller sizes. Edit your icon down to 16x16, and put that in the smallest spot. This way, the computer switches to that icon rather than render a 128x128 icon down that small.

Create a .ico file from your Mac OS X Icon. Handy for making that 'favicon' we all love to see next to the website tabs and in our bookmarks! It's free...

Poynting-Robertson effect
An effect of radiation pressure on a small particle orbiting a star that causes it to spiral slowly into the star. The radiation falls preferentially on the leading edge of the orbiting particle and acts as a drag force. For example, a dust grain one micron wide located at the position of Earth would spiral into the Sun in a period of about 3,000 years. Also called Poynting-Robertson drag.

Let $n$ and $k$ be integers with $1\le k < n$. Form a graph $G$ whose vertices are the integers $0,1,2,...,n-1$. We have an edge joining the vertices $a$ and $b$ provided $$a-b \equiv \pm k \pmod n\;.$$ We were given the example if $n=20$ and $k=6$, then vertex $2$ would be adjacent to vertices $8$ and $16$. I need to find a formula involving $n$ and $k$ for the number of connected components of $G$.
I tried creating other examples, with $k=1$ and $n=2$, with $k=2$ and $n=20$, etc, and the pattern that I seemed to find was that the number of components was equal to $k$. But I know that this cannot be the correct solution since $n$ is not involved in this formula, so I also tried $n \bmod k$ as the formula, which seemed to work. Is $n \bmod k$ a legitimate formula for the number of connected components of $G$?

The Gaslamp Quarter National Historic District is located in the heart of Downtown San Diego, California. The neighborhood is eight blocks long (from Broadway to Harbor Drive) and a little more than two blocks wide (4th, 5th & 6th Avenues) for a total of 16 and one half blocks. The area is best known for stunning examples of Victorian Architecture and for being a fabulous entertainment destination. There are currently more than 150 diverse Restaurants, Nightclubs, Lounges and Live music venues. There are more than 20 hotels directly adjacent to the neighborhood and we are directly across the street from the San Diego Convention Center and Major League Baseball's Petco Park, home to the San Diego Padres.
Balboa Park is the nation's largest urban cultural park. Home to 15 major museums, renowned performing arts venues, beautiful gardens and the San Diego Zoo, the Park has an ever-changing calendar of museum exhibitions, plays, musicals, concerts, and classes—all in the beautiful and timeless setting of this must-see San Diego attraction.
The Zoo, located adjacent to downtown San Diego in Balboa Park, is 100 acres in size and houses over 4,000 animals comprised of more than 800 species from the forests and jungles of the world. It is viewed in several ways, first and foremost by walking along pathways, into aviaries, and through bioclimatic zones.

It was the first successful downtown retail center since the rise of suburban shopping centers decades earlier.
This popular historical attraction recreates the setting of California life between 1821 and 1872 when San Diego evolved from a Mexican village to an American frontier town. In keeping with that era, the park displays 22 historic builds and is known for the best Mexican food in San Diego.

Charges filed in drug bust
A 41-year-old rural Basehor man faces a variety of drug-related charges, after law enforcement officers discovered what they believe was a methamphetamine lab.
Wade E. Bates was arrested after officers with the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration searched a mobile home, according to sheriff's Major Dave Zoellner.
About 11 p.m. Feb. 6, officers executed a search warrant in the 15900 block of Ripley, just outside Basehor, Zoellner said.
Last year, officers arrested Bates, but charges against him had to be dismissed because prosecutors were awaiting results from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation laboratory, according to Roger Marrs, assistant county attorney.
He faces these charges in connection with the Feb. 6 bust: manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of an ingredient with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine; possession of drug paraphernalia; no drug tax stamp and criminal use of a weapon.

SELECTED WORKS BY Ruth Root
Ruth Root
Enamel on aluminium
123 x 182 cm
Ruth Root's large scale geometric panels draw from the lineage of non-objective painting. Evoking reference to Piet Mondrian, Ellsworth Kelly, and Olivier Mosset, Root's playfully orchestrated compositions engage with the fundamental principles of formalism while simultaneously interacting with contemporary modes of interpretation.
Rendered on shaped, ultra-thin aluminium sheeting, Root's paintings corrupt the idea of pre-fab form. Confined to the curvilinear borders of her canvas, Root's componentized swatches of colour reveal an unorthodox organic quality transgressing the tradition of the grid as sigmoid fields, and allowing the seamless application of her paint to slightly bevel at the sharply cropped edges. Root's paintings are often exhibited flush to the gallery walls, creating an allusion to decaled logotypes and an optical intervention with architectural space.
Though primarily concerned with the tautology of painting itself, Root is often inspired by the phenomenon of urban experience. Her bold industrial colours and aesthetically ordered geometries invoke cityscapes, product design, and 1960s technographics. The liminal quality of her paintings elicits dialogue with digitised media: the consummate flatness of her paintings condenses the illusions of solidity and space into virtual fields, compelling in their dynamic assertion and physically insubstantiality.

So today, when it is more difficult to credit credit for a loan or a home loan, you need to be creative and improve your credit rating and reduce the banks credit risk.
so you are in search of a loan but have less than perfect credit? – Well do not fret. At least that's what some lenders are saying and definitely advertising.
There are several banks and lenders that have implemented special scoring mechanisms to deal with all types of credit problems, but it takes time finding a the right lender that will offer you the loan.
So here are some ideas – use them or lose them!
Please remember that if you have bad credit you will find in tougher to get a loan loans than people with perfect credit. Even if you do find a loan, the interest rates and terms would often not be the best. What makes the process of finding a loan with bad credit difficult is that some of these special offers have hidden clauses etc. So, shop around until you find one that provides the best offer that you are comfortable with and watch out for scams.
There is no question that people with a bad credit score can also obtain a home loan or personal loan, but before you approach a bank, find out what's on your credit report. Look for errors and get them sorted out at the credit bureaus (ITC, MyTransunion or Experien) . This can improve your credit rate and help you get approved for a new loan.
Use you family – this is the cheapest loan you can get. . This way you don't have to pay it back with interest, or even if you do, the interest rate will not be as high as a bank or a lender. Just make sure you have a contract and stick to the agreement – do not mess with family and friends ever.
Apply for a loan through your bank first before going to a external lender – they will be better – for a home loan use a mortgage originator. If you already have a relationship with a bank, this could increase your chances of getting the loan.
Find an eligible co-applicant, with a clean credit record to help you obtain a home loan . A co – applicant or surety ship can be a friend or relative. Just make sure you keep your side of the bargain and don not pull out of the deal ever.
Improve your credit rating by using less credit and by making all payments either on time or better still pay two days earlier. Doing these things will improve your credit rating and show your credit worthiness to prospective banks and lenders.
Avoid upfront fees.
Do not let any payments bounce in your bank accounts – ever!
Speak to your bank on how to improve your credit rating within the bank.
Get advice from a reputable financial specialist – often

Bikini Model Photoshoot with Lloyd K. Barnes
Meet Maggie Resztak -
Maggie is a personal trainer at Steve Nash Sports Club in Richmond and just completed her first fitness competition at the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic. To her excitement, she placed 3rd in her division (5'8+). I suppose her hard core 12 week training program with Adam Mulford and Brenda Whitehead (both trainers at Steve Nash Sports Club) really paid off!
After her win at the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic, Maggie decided to organize a photoshoot with my team while her body was still in top form. She brought a couple changes of clothes to the photoshoot from typical work-out gear, to casual jeans, and of course, her winning bikini made by The Suit Lady.
Maggie's makeup was kept natural for the headshots, then brought to a more dramatic makeup for the bikini shots. She was a few shades darker than she normally is so I made sure to mix up the right shades to match, while Jewlee styled her hair and added Bellami clip-in hair extensions for some extra volume.
Maggie will be training for her next competition in June at the Provincials. Good luck to her! It's amazing what the body can do with some strict training and dieting.

"Today the band has 50 members ranging in ages from 12 - 74 and representing all walks of life."
About Us
Under the direction of Lisa Owen
The Maui Community Band was founded by Lisa Owen in February, 2003. A small gathering of musicians met for a first rehearsal under the baton of Lisa. Many of the musicians were jazz musicians who wanted to hone their music-reading skills. Others were high school students wanting more playing opportunities. The majority, however, were musicians who had played in the local band programs but had long since graduated. It was an exciting first rehearsal with borrowed music and high expectations.
Today the band has over 50 members ranging in ages from 12 - 74 and representing all walks of life. About half are students from the local intermediate and high schools who are yearning for more playing experience and challenges. The rest are adults who enjoy keeping up their music-reading skills by playing challenging and entertaining music. The camaraderie among the musicians is phenomenal. The more experienced players serve as mentors for the budding musicians. The band boosts of having seven band directors in its membership; most of whom serve as assistant conductors. The repertoire includes marches, Broadway tunes, Hawaiian songs, pop, rock, jazz, holiday music, and general concert band literature.
The mission of the band is to perform concerts for the community at various venues and to provide an opportunity for wind and percussion players to continue their music reading skills and further pursue their instruments. The band is affiliated with Arts Education for Children Group and performs during their annual summer band festival, where it is the featured entertainment at the Lahaina 4th of July fireworks show. AECG has also commissioned several original works for the band. The first such piece was "Haleakala" by well-known composer Carl Strommen. Other pieces have included arrangements of Hawaiian music by the band's own Siuai Laufou: Hawaiian Waltz Medley, Mele No Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The band has also performed with Maui Choral Arts Association at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. Some other venues have included hotels, shopping centers, War Memorial, and more.
Lisa Owen, Conductor
Lisa Owen has been active on the Maui music scene for over 20 years. She recently retired from Seabury Hall where she had taught music, specifically band, for 18 years. She played with the Maui Symphony until its demise and is currently a member of the Maui Pops Orchestra. In addition to the Maui Community Band, Lisa is the leader of several musical groups including the Maui Brass Ensemble, High Seas D
ixieland Band, Village Musicians German Band, Moonglow Swing Band, and Ragtime 3.
Lisa hails from Stockholm, Sweden, and was educated there as well as in the U.S. She has a BA in Music from Thomas Edison University and has done post-graduate work at the Southern Oregon University and Humboldt State University, where she served on the advisory board for the Humboldt State Brass Chamber Music workshops. Her love of teaching has not subsided since her retirement. Currently she is teaching a class at Kaunoa Senior Center and conducting workshops for Arts Education for Children Group.
Lisa's career as a professional tuba player has spanned over four decades. While living in California she was the principal tubist of the Bay Area Women's Philharmonic conducted by Joanne Falletta, Sacramento Symphony, Sierra Philharmonics, Nevada County Concert Band, and was a popular free lance musician and soloist with many other musical organizations. She also led her own groups: Grass Valley Brass Quintet and South Yuba Tuba Ensemble. In 1988 Lisa recorded a ragtime album, "Buffalo Rag," with well-known pianist and ragtime historian Elliot Adams.
Lance Jo, Assistant Conductor
Lance Jo began his music career as a band student at Baldwin High School. He continued his education at Indiana University, Bloomington, receiving his Bachelor of Music Education degree. After serving two years on active duty as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Signal Corps in France, he returned to Indiana University and earned his Master of Music Education degree.

Walt Cessna has become a big internet personality. As an already popular queer photographer with an expansive back catalogue, Cessna took over [[Facebook]] and [[Tumblr (NSFW)]] where his images have been shared and re-posted thousands of times. He has joined the ranks of the artists who flaunt their creative process through social media. Outside of finished photographic projects, and the book [[Fukt 2 Start With: Short Stories & Broken Werd]] ([[Amazon]]), his social space includes trips, his relationships, his collaborators, and the sordid energy which encompasses his erotic and substance tendencies.
Fukt was published two years ago, and brings Walt back to his origins. He told Queerty when the book was published 'That's what I started out doing. I was writing before I was taking pictures. I started writing professionally when I was 17. I was writing for the original Details, for Annie Flanders and Stephen Saban. I had a column. I started working for The East Village Eye and I was working for another free publication, New York Talk. Then I became an editor at The Village Voice when I turned 18. I was working for Interview. I mean, I had a really major publishing career at an extremely young age. Working with major editors. I was writing for Vanity Fair before I was 25'.
Cessna has a mysterious air about him. He is present, his flesh often becomes the spotlight of his sensual and hyper-erotic portraiture, and his online persona is effervescent. But he is not always available. Outside of his stints in rehab and hospitals in the past few years, Cessna does not abide by the rules of communication. Perhaps he is the poster artist of the times, but messages can be idle before he attends them, and he has voiced his disdain for the telephone. In fact, he prefers face to face interactions.
Walt Cessna is abrupt over the telephone. His voice is blank and distant. I found pleasure in having him tell me he prefers to meet in person and retains a certain disgust for the machine. I came up to Manhattan and after having him buzz me, walked up two flights of stairs to his level. He was on the telephone as he stood in the doorway. 'Okay, I love you...hi, dude!' He said extending his upper body out of the apartment and kissing me on the cheek with certain comfort. I walked through the sunny kitchen and saw colorful fabrics and angles previously made familiar in his photographs. We walked through a small room which led to another; the bedroom. Eventually we sat and Walter began sharing his world.
'Things are messy and I am too lazy to take care of things' he discusses his current pieces and projects. 'I do not have an assistant to help me and I am lazy.' After asking why he does not seek assistance he replies 'kids these days do not want to work for nothing. I am not credited, so when they work for me they get no credits. It is just for the fun of it. These days they have to do these unpaid internships and they are resentful. It is not like when we were young and had hunger in our eyes.'
Cessna is kind even when he is dismissive. His exterior, pierced and tattooed, is matched by his demeanor as he discusses money, disease, drugs and mixing sex with creativity. 'I went out this Friday (NYC Pride weekend), which is not something I usually do. When it happens people see me and ask 'what are you doing here?'' He laughs 'having fun!'
'But I just hung out with the DJ (a friend) and sat next to the booth, dancing on my own. I came home early. I can't stay out all night with these kids. You see all these kids blatantly on drugs. I can't handle messy people. Because, and it makes me awful, I can easily go into manipulating that to my benefit.'
Cessna has become a celebrity of sorts, especially in the NYC scene. He may not have a night-life presence, but he is quite visible through the internet. Many people contact him for the thrill of a familiar face. Although now the familiar face may be up to the individuals he photographs. More and more visibility means that the air of celebrity can be breathed by just about anybody, with the right tools and enthusiasm. According to him, vanity is on the rise. 'No, it is not the same [as in the past]. People did not care about how they looked, it was the thrill of being photographed. I do not use photoshop; my gift is great, natural light.
'All these individuals pay me to take their facebook profile photographs. They do not do it enough, if you ask me, I could use the money. I am a starving artist. But a lot of people do come up to me and I do not think of selling out. Usually, these are individuals I would not photograph. So it is like pushing myself to do something I would not do otherwise.
'There is a certain attraction that is present for me to photograph individuals. These dudes I photograph, they may not give me a hardon all the time, but there is a lighton.'
This leads him to discuss more personal stories. Like his writing and photography, he discusses his relationship with sex, drugs and the period when he was being paid for sex. 'We called it hooking and rolling. I would find a John, make sure he was in a hotel room (meaning, that it was likely he was passing through town, which minimized the changes of awkward encounters in the future), have him pay up front and then make a quick getaway with designer underwear, a watch or even his wallet.' He drinks from a reddish mug, and extends on a wooden chair with his legs toward me. 'I have instances when people recognize me and are either upset, or call me by my hooker name and I just sit there' he makes a face.
Before long, Robert, one of Walt's current muses, arrives and sits to my right. He is tall, slinky, with thick, flowing hair, a British accent, and a curios linear tattoo of a deer on his left shoulder. After sitting, we shake hands. They are to work on their fifteenth session together. The two erupt in chatter that involves corporate pride, anti-pride parties, Suzanne Barch, kids with money, gay husbands, Scooter LaForge, and sex.
Robert looks inside his bag asking 'is there any tobacco here I can smoke?' Walt suggests the corner store and gives him the keys to enter the building on his return. Robert take the keys and still rummaging through his bag says 'I should not. I am trying to quit'. After I tell him he is doing a good job with my sarcastic twang he quips 'do not judge me, you just met me' and the banter carries on.
The two friends discuss their respective art. Walter has exhibits throughout the summer, and Robert will be part of an auction with his paintings. Robert plays with a crown prop, as Walter extends his legs on the wooden chair. They are an interesting family. They are off the grid vocally, and they live like artists do in most minds (many ideas floating about, art all over the walls, and feeling excluded from those with more money), yet, they are their own caste. They are the cool kids who may struggle, but have the official credibility to back not only their craft, but their existence.
Once Robert departs, Walt makes a quick entrance to the kitchen, but not before he offers me more water. After I decline, he returns with a different cup and takes sips between bursts of information.
After a few minutes pass, a buzzing sound comes from the kitchen. Walter stands and shaking his head murmurs 'Robert probably forgot I gave him my keys' and lets him into the building.
Chatter fills the air as stories from the busy NYC weekend are shared amongst the two. 'I was with this famous actor, who shall remain nameless' says Robert. As they story carries on he adds 'you know the type' his voice is coarse and his eyes roll slightly. 'Do not judge' says Walter behind his large, brown mug. 'Whatever' scoffs Robert. 'I'm British, it is part of who we are'.
With model and photographer in the room, the air is camp and full of familiarity. The magic is about to happen.

Supercommittee tries to salvage $1T deal
But even that $600 billion number — put forward in a proposal floated by Toomey early this week — will encounter huge headwinds in the House Republican Conference, where newly elected lawmakers have been told all year by their leadership that the nation does not have a "revenue problem."
Members of the conservative Republican Study Committee have begun informal chats about the proposal, following conservative senators like Jim DeMint of South Carolina who think additional revenue is unnecessary.Continue Reading
"New revenue under static scoring is a tax increase. Period," said one conservative House Republican, speaking freely without attribution to criticize members of his own party. "There's no chance of House Republicans going for $600 billion in 'new revenue' or whatever they try to call it. It's not a question of compromise, it's a question of principle."
Democrats have already dismissed the Republican offer as paltry. Reid called the GOP proposal "phony" on Thursday, and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), co-chair of the panel, said there needs to be "real revenue."
Democrats have called for about $1 trillion in spending cuts — $350 billion of which would come out of Medicare and $200 billion out of defense programs — coupled with $1 trillion in higher tax revenues, a non-starter in the House.
Hensarling acknowledged the problems that lay ahead for he and his House colleagues. But in a shift, the former conservative RSC leader is talking about compromise on the tax issue.
"I would be, frankly, excited about the possibility of taking to the House Republican Conference a pro-growth tax reform, which is something we have worked on for years and years and years," Hensarling said, before entering into Boehner's suite of offices in the Capitol. "It would be a huge shot in the arm to our economy. Nobody is too excited about static revenues, to say the least, but that's the part of a bipartisan negotiation."
Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), who served in the House for 10 years, said Toomey's branding on the proposal helps, but supercommittee members ignore the lower chamber's hesitance about revenue at their own risk.
"That's gotta be a consideration, because raising taxes is a concern for a lot of guys in the House," he said.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), a close friend of Boehner's who has joined bipartisan calls for $4 trillion in deficit cuts over the next decade, put it even more bluntly.

A review of the dining experience at downtown Napa's The Border
A few weeks back we ate at one of downtown Napa's newest restaurant installations, The Border.
The restaurant is operated by Pablo and Erasto Jacinto, who rose through the ranks working for the likes of local chefs Michael Chiarello, Cindy Pawlcyn and Donna Scala. With that pedigree and the promise of some authentic Mexican food, we were quite excited to give The Border a try.
The Dining Room: The restaurant space is very open and on the evening of our visit was brimming with patrons at the bar and in the main dining area. We noted immediately the open kitchen at the back of the restaurant, which enables you to easily see the cooks preparing meals.
In looking at the dining room a little closer, we noted the space and decor appeared to have not been updated much (if at all) from the previous restaurant that occupied the space, Tuscany. When we were seated and given our menus we noticed a "T" engraved on the leather bound wine list, which we immediately recognized as the logo for Tuscany.
We also noticed a faint "bar" smell that reminded us of our college days (not exactly what we were hoping to find on this particular night). Despite the fact that we were dining fairly late at night (for downtown Napa standards anyway) we noted a steady stream of patrons coming into the restaurant, many with groups of 6-8 people.
The Food: In perusing the menu, we opted for the Mexican Meat Balls ($6.95) to start and ordered the Red Chile Marinated Skirt Steak ($21.75) and the Grilled Rib Eye Tacos ($15.75) as our two entrees. The meat balls (4 pieces) were served in a bowl with tomato and chipotle chile sauce. The sauce had wonderful heat and flavor to it, however, the meatballs themselves were not much above average in taste and were actually on the smaller-side in terms of size.
The skirt steak was served with Oaxacan enfrijoladas and avocado salsa. The steak itself was tender and cooked just right (although the server never asked how we wanted it prepared). However, rather than being served with pureed beans and tortillas (which is what understood "enfrijoladas" to be), the skirt steak was served nearly floating in a plate full of whole black beans and their juices. The beans eventually overpowered the taste of the skirt steak, which was unfortunate.
The Grilled Rib Eye Tacos featured a cumin, coriander and garlic marinated rib eye and were served with cole slaw and Pico de Gallo on the side. The meat was done quite well, with nice flavor, savoriness and a solid balance of spices to round it out. This was definitely the better of the two entrees we had, despite being quite a bit less expensive than the skirt steak.
The Cork Board Rating: Overall, our dining experience at The Border was little more than average. The food was not awful, nor did we walk away feeling like we experienced something unique–and between the restauranteurs' pedigree and the prices this wasn't a good thing. Our combined rating for The Border stands at 2.5 corks out of 5.
If you've dined at The Border, we would love to hear your feedback.

Verizon stores receive promo materials for the new HTC One, may launch it the day of the unveiling
In the UK, the all new HTC One will be in stores ready to buy just minutes after its official announcement on March 25 finishes (at least in some locations). This development was certainly unexpected and may compensate in a way for the dozens of leaks of the new HTC One that we've seen over the past few months. Samsung, for example, announced the Galaxy S5 a month and a half before its release date, and supposedly only started mass producing it after that, whereas HTC clearly already has the new One being made as you read this, getting ready for the big day next Tuesday.
The rapid launch may not happen just in the UK, though – happily for those of you in the US. Verizon, in fact, could also have it up for order at least at 1 pm Eastern on March 25. That's clearly what the image below implies, while it's showing a leaked promo material that has supposedly already arrived in some Verizon stores.
And here's another promo thingie (this time a flyer) for the all new HTC One, also leaked:
Of course, we've already known that the new HTC One was headed to Big Red, thanks to numerous past rumors and leaks, but this is as good a confirmation as any ahead of an official introduction – which will obviously happen next week.

Lori Loughlin
"It's not rocket science, we are not solving any great problems here. We are just trying to make people forget about their problems and have fun. So I try to bring an essence of joy to my work." -Lori Loughlin, on her Summerland gig.
Lori Loughlin was seen by millions during her three-year run on the daytime drama The Edge of Night (1980-'83). She's best remembered as Rebecca Donaldson on the long-running comedy Full House (1988-'95), and is currently both star and producer of the WB's family drama Summerland.
While she hasn't won any major acting prizes during her performing career, Loughlin has received a Young Artist Award nomination as Best Young Actress in a Daytime Series for The Edge of Night, and an Emmy nod for Best Actress in the after-school special, No Means No. She won a Young Artist Award in 1987 for her performance in the CBS Schoolbreak Special Babies Having Babies (which she shared with her castmates), but hasn't been recognized for any of her subsequent roles. Most recently, Lori thought up a concept for a show, and it became a prime-time network series on the WB.
Lori Loughlin BiographyLori Ann Loughlin (pronounced "lock-lin") was born on July 28, 1965, in Queens, New York, and grew up in the town of Hauppauge, Long Island. She began modeling when she was 12, initially as a print model in national campaigns for companies like Sears and Bradlees.
She soon made the move to television ads, and started taking acting lessons when she was 14. The lessons paid off when only a few months later, she landed her first big acting gig when she was cast as Jody Travis on the ABC daytime soap, The Edge of Night.

Right before getting the role, she appeared in her first movie, the made-for-TV film Too Far to Go (1979). She was the producer's original choice to play Emmeline, the female lead in The Blue Lagoon (1980), but Loughlin turned it down and it became the role that made Brooke Shields a star. Urged by fellow The Edge of Night actor Joel Crothers, the young actress set her sights on a career beyond daytime drama.
After three and a half years on the soap, Loughlin left in 1983 to pursue film work. She appeared in several features, including the horror flick Amityville 3-D (1983), the thriller The New Kids (1985), the romantic comedy Secret Admirer (1985), Rad (1986), a film about BMX racing, and the beach-movie spoof Back to the Beach (1987).
Her TV film work included North Beach and Rawhide (1985), Brotherhood of Justice (1986), and Babies Having Babies (1986), a CBS Schoolbreak Special. She also made a couple of guest appearances on the detective drama, The Equalizer (1986-'87).

In 1988, Loughlin landed the role that made her a regular guest in the homes of millions of TV viewers. As Rebecca "Becky" Donaldson Katsopolis, girlfriend and later wife of John Stamos' character on the ABC sitcom Full House, Loughlin became a weekly TV fixture over the next seven seasons.
During her time on the show, she kept busy with several made-for-TV movies, most notably No Means No (1988) and Doing Time on Maple Drive (1992), which also featured up-and-comer Jim Carrey. She also appeared in Empty Cradle (1993), Sidney Sheldon's A Stranger in the Mirror (1993), One of Her Own (1994), and Abandoned and Deceived (1995).
After Full House ended production in 1995, Loughlin was cast as series regular Melanie Clifford in the short-lived Hudson Street (1995), which starred Tony Danza. More made-for-television movies followed, including The Price of Heaven (a.k.a. Blessed Assurance, 1996), In the Line of Duty: Blaze of Glory, as well as the miniseries Medusa's Child (both 1997). During this time she also made guest appearances on several top-rated sitcoms, including Seinfeld (the "Serenity Now" episode), The Larry Sanders Show and Suddenly Susan.

After wrapping the made-for-cable movie Suckers (1999), Loughlin took a couple of years off to start a family. Loughlin married fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli in 1997; daughter Isabella Rose was born in September 1998, while Olivia Jade followed a year later. She is also stepmother to Gianni, Giannulli's son from a previous marriage.
Loughlin returned to the screen in 2000, co-starring with Treat Williams and Udo Kier in the action-thriller Critical Mass. In 2001, she turned in a couple of guest appearances on Spin City, and did likewise on The Drew Carey Show in 2002. That same year, she appeared on the WB drama Birds of Prey and guest starred as herself in the ABC pilot Wednesday 9:30 (8:30 Central), which never got off the ground.
In 2003, she helped develop a new series for the WB, which would make her a starring regular on a weekly drama.
lori serves up summerland
The Warner Brothers network had expressed interest in creating a series for Loughlin, and she decided to come up with a concept that interested her. She came up with the idea of a single woman in California who works in the fashion world, and whose life suddenly changes when she must raise her sister's three kids from Kansas.
After several months in the development stages, Summerland premiered in June 2004. In addition to starring as Ava Gregory, Loughlin also serves as the show's executive producer.
