Utah colleges spending more on sports, even as state education funding drops
He said the school's analysis of whether to cut sports found that the financial impact would be a net loss since many students would go elsewhere. Instead, Beazer said the athletics program hired a marketing firm to seek corporate sponsorships in outside markets.
In 2008-09, football at SUU lost $441,000, men's basketball ran a deficit of almost $80,000 and all other sports lost just over $1 million combined. The school covered expenses with nearly $4.4 million in institutional support, and student fees provided $605,000, or 8 percent of total revenue. Those fees were raised in 2008 to $96 per year.
At Utah State, the increase in spending on sports was driven by joining the Western Athletic Conference five years ago. Athletic director Scott Barnes said the conference asked USU to grow, and the school responded with a plan to boost external revenue, state funding and student fees. However, the slow economy limited the first two options.
USU students narrowly passed a referendum in spring 2009 to increase their own student fees, bringing in an additional $2 million annually to the athletics department, which had run a deficit for years. The program was $848,000 in the red in 2008-09, the last year for which numbers are widely available.
Meanwhile, faculty and staff were required to take a five-day furlough over spring break to help cover a midyear budget cut.
Jeremy Winn, then the vice president for athletics in the student government, went all over campus to make presentations in support of the referendum. He said it was a big step for USU to join the WAC, and students didn't want to see the school fall behind.
"A great athletics program can also turn around and make your degree look better," Winn said.
Officials at the U. are optimistic that joining the Pac-10 will enhance the school's academic profile, already bolstered in recent years by the growth of its health sciences programs and genetics professor Mario R. Capecchi winning the Nobel Prize in medicine.
Still, Brinkman said if he could build the structure of intercollegiate athletics from scratch, he would "probably try to design it a little differently, so we're not competing with each other so hard and driving up salaries beyond what seems reasonable."
But there will be pressure on the U. to keep up. In 2008-09, the average athletic budget in the Pac-10 was almost $60 million, with USC coming in over $80 million. The U.'s was just above $31 million.
Brinkman said that even when times are good, colleges in Utah are used to working with tight budgets. "We do get by for less."
The CCAP study found that the Mountain West Conference and the WAC were among the most heavily subsidized in the country at $1,117 and $718 per student respectively in 2008-09, although the MWC figure was skewed upward by the Air Force Academy spending $4,292 per student. The U. was near the low end at $335 per student, while USU spent $750.
SLCC was the only state school to reduce its sports subsidy in the past five years. Other state schools in minor conferences have seen theirs grow: 28 percent at Weber State University, 38 percent at the College of Eastern Utah.
At Snow College, athletic director Kevin White didn't have to search far for the most recent cut to his program: himself. Following pay reductions to the volleyball and softball coaches, and unwilling to slash teams, White this month lowered the salary for his own position. His last day is Aug. 31.
"I would have loved to stay in athletics," said White, a Snow alumnus. "It was a really tough decision."
At private Westminster College, spending on athletics has more than doubled since 2003, though the school did not release precise figures. The college will add track next year, bringing it up to 17 intercollegiate sports teams. Officials there said student-athletes outperform other students academically, and that with a "collaborative budgeting process," athletics spending "has not become a hot issue."
BYU athletics are entirely self-supporting, which means that any money spent must be generated through corporate sponsors, radio and television contracts, ticket sales, private donations or money from the conference, said Duff Tittle, associate athletic director. No tithing funds from BYU's owner, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are used.
Despite the economic downturn, Tittle said they've been raising money long enough that the entire process is fairly stable.
"We may have to work a little bit harder, we may have to find a few more people, but we've been very fortunate to keep the program where it is, and even moving forward during these times," he said. "We're always going to be very careful with what we do with our money."

|Known for
Part of the muckraking trio at the turn of the century.Having his articles written into books. See Works.
Lincoln Joseph Steffens (April 6, 1866 – August 9, 1936) was a New York reporter who launched a series of articles in McClure's, called Tweed Days in St. Louis,[1] that would later be published together in a book titled The Shame of the Cities. He is remembered for investigating corruption in municipal government in American cities and for his early support for the Soviet Union.
Early life[edit]
Steffens was born on April 6, 1866, in San Francisco to Elizabeth Louisa (Symes) Steffens and Joseph Steffens and raised in Sacramento California. He was the first-born, and only son with three sisters coming later. His family's opulent home in the state capital later became the Governor's Mansion.[2]
Steffens began his career as a journalist at the New York Evening Post. He later became an editor of McClure's magazine, where he became part of a celebrated muckraking trio with Ida Tarbell and Ray Stannard Baker.[3] He specialized in investigating government and political corruption, and two collections of his articles were published as The Shame of the Cities (1904) and The Struggle for Self-Government (1906). He also wrote The Traitor State (1905), which criticized New Jersey for patronizing incorporation. In 1906, he left McClure's, along with Tarbell and Baker, to form The American Magazine. In The Shame of the Cities, Steffens sought to bring about political reform in urban America by appealing to the emotions of Americans. He tried to provoke outrage with examples of corrupt governments throughout urban America.
From 1914–1915 he covered the Mexican Revolution and began to see revolution as preferable to reform. In March 1919, he accompanied William C. Bullitt, a low level State Department official, on a three-week visit to the Soviet Union and witnessed the "confusing and difficult" process of a society in the process of revolutionary change. He wrote that "Soviet Russia was a revolutionary government with an evolutionary plan", enduring "a temporary condition of evil, which is made tolerable by hope and a plan."[4]
After his return, he promoted his view of the Soviet Revolution and in the course of campaigning for U.S. food aid for Russia made his famous remark about the new Soviet society: "I have seen the future, and it works", a phrase he often repeated with many variations.[5] The title page of his wife Ella Winter's Red Virtue: Human Relationships in the New Russia (Victor Gollancz, 1933) carries this quote.
His enthusiasm for communism soured by the time his memoirs appeared in 1931. The autobiography became a bestseller leading to a short return to prominence for the writer, but Steffens would not be able to capitalize on it as illness cut his lecture tour of America short by 1933. He was a member of the California Writers Project, a New Deal program.
He married twenty-six year old Ella Winter in 1924.
Steffens died of heart failure on August 9, 1936, in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.[6]

Ya know it's gonna be a baaad week when...
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Actually I thought the week would start out great! Sunday was bright and sunny and warm (no more snow!!!). Monday though, Monday made it all change.
Woke up Monday feeling energetic. I don't like to exercise, but thought, "maybe today I will." Started to brew a pot of go juice (coffee) and decided to start cleaning out some of the lower cupboards while I waited. Cupboard straightened, coffee done, I go to stand up. Lost my balance (born klutz) and beat my knee - with most of my weight on it - on the drawer handle. Now the drawers here don't have 'normal' handles (nor do the cupboards). They have a metal rod that is about 1/2" in diameter from one end of the drawer to the other that sticks out about 1 1/2". Imagine that rod jamming in between your kneecap and femur (thigh bone).
There went any exercising for the week. Oh, but that's not all, oh, no!
Tuesday (today) I limp down the stairs to start my morning coffee. This time I decide I'll clean out the fridge a little while it's brewing. I grabbed my homemade mint-chocolate (low-fat made with agave, but could be made with a no-cal sweetener) that I know I'll need for my coffee and see the other container that I had put what wouldn't fit into the creamer container after I made it. There was plenty of room in the actual creamer container now, so I figured I'd put the extra creamer in with the rest. Only, it was NOT mint-chocolate creamer. I didn't even realize what I had done until the last of the 'creamer' was dripping into the real creamer that there were little bits in the extra 'creamer'. I stopped and sniffed the 'creamer' and realized it was some extra red wine vinaigrette that wouldn't fit into the bottle I have for it.
Never really noticed before today that when I'm not 100% awake the color of my creamer and the color of my homemade (only good fats and no sugar) red wine vinaigrette look an awful lot alike. I had even poured some of the cream-aigrette (new made-up word for the situation) into my coffee thinking, maybe I could use it and just deal. Um, no! The herbs and vinegar were too strong - not to mention the extra oily taste - I couldn't even swallow the first sip.
So, almost 4 cups of mint-chocolate creamer with red wine vinaigrette are now swimming their way to the local sewage treatment plant to be turned into fresh drinking water.
Murphy's Law states that bad things happen in 3's.
Boy, oh, boy, I can't weight (pun intended) to see what tomorrow is going to turn out like! Oh, and I'm cooking dinner for before AWANA tomorrow night. Kinda scared for them now!

Katharine McPhee and Mike Vogel have fans excited for their movie "In My Dreams." The individuals might have great acting skills, but when they hit the screen together, there is a chemistry that makes the story come alive. The Hallmark movie is set to air on ABC, but the fans who have seen the sneak peeks have raved about how the onscreen couple captures everyone's attention. According to KABC on Friday, Katharine McPhee was drawn to the script as it offered a look at how her character is a hopeless romantic.
"In My Dreams" is fantasy mixed with the idea that looking for love is not a lost art. Nick and Natalie are the perfect pair, but there are a couple of things blocking their path to romantic bliss. Offering a look at their lives, viewers can see how they might be the perfect couple, but how is that possible? It happens after they each make a wish and throw their coins into a fountain.
First, they've never actually met, except in their dreams. This odd scenario sounds farfetched but the story dynamics makes it so believable. They have precisely seven days to turn those sweet dreams into reality in "In My Dreams." As the time goes by, the two realize how bad they want a real relationship to work.
Katharine McPhee and Mike Vogel play the romantically challenged individuals and their characters definitely are believable. Wishing might sometimes be easier than actually achieving a goal and strange love connection in their sleep gives them a purpose to go out and find real romance
Hallmark movies are usually romantic and enjoyable and "In My Dreams" definitely fits the description. It's a perfect fit for Katharine McPhee as well and she gets to show her acting skills without even singing a note.
"In My Dreams" airs Sunday at 9 p.m. on ABC.

Butterscotch is an old favorite from the era of hot rods, poodle skirts, and soda fountains. It was once considered an out-of-date candy flavor but is once again in vogue. Butterscotch is a hard candy made with brown sugar and butter. The term scotch means "to cut," which refers to the process of cutting the candy mixture while it is still hot.
These delightful combinations of butterscotch and toffee flavors are sure to please; it has a deep, textural sweetness that is complemented by the creaminess of butter, roasted almonds, and rich chocolate flavor. Luckily for you, this mouth-watering coffee blend can be enjoyed without the sticky gooeyness of melted butterscotch and toffee. Enjoy the delicious indulgence of Decaf Butterscotch Toffee Cream flavored coffees anytime you want a little treat.
A 5 lb. heat sealed valve bag will ensure the freshest coffee. Enjoy!

Note that we blend our Coffee AM flavored decaf coffees with unflavored regular coffee (Vermont Coffee Roasters), so we do not get the full flavor of your coffees.

About the Arthur K. Parpart Lectureship
The Arthur K. Parpart Lectureship was established by Dr. Joseph F. Hoffman in memory of Dr. Parpart's distinguished career as a devoted teacher and able investigator. Dr. Parpart's interest in the natural sciences began during his early years as an undergraduate student at Amherst College. Although his research over the years encompassed a wide range of subjects, his main concern was the physiology of the red blood cell, in particular the physiological and biochemical architecture of its cell membrane.
In 1931, Dr. Parpart accepted a faculty position at Princeton University shortly after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1948, he was elevated to chairman of Princeton's department of biology, a position he occupied until his sudden death in 1965. Each June, Dr. Parpart transported his laboratory to Woods Hole, where he spent summers doing research at the MBL. For more than ten years, he was a faculty member of the MBL's Physiology course; in 1963, he was elected president of the laboratory. Widely known for his work in physiology and biochemistry, Dr. Parpart made a vital contribution to medical science during World War II by directing a top-priority research project, which succeeded in lengthening the time human blood can be stored from three days to a maximum of forty days.
The career of Arthur K. Parpart was a notable one in all respects. He was a productive scientist, a vigorous and preserving leader, and a man who engendered the respect and friendship of scores of students and colleagues.

Robin Wright has adopted the low-carb Paleo diet to lose weight for her role as Claire Underwood in "House of Cards," WebPro News reported.
"I'm trying to do the Paleo diet — no carbs," said Wright, who's divorced from actor Sean Penn. "I've got to get thin for the show. I also ran on the beach this morning. Running gets everything done."
The Paleo diet is not a no-carb diet, or even an extremely low-carb plan like the ketogenic diet, but does eliminate gluten and starchy carbs, which is part of the reason it has proven so effective for weight loss.
Robin, 48, is a longtime runner who looks great, but said she was apprehensive while auditioning for "House of Cards" because she thought she might have to get plastic surgery to look younger.
Felt Pressured to Get Plastic Surgery
"I was sitting there going, 'You're 45, and you're not gonna get a face-lift,' " Wright told Town & Country. "I was really considering that stuff, because in Hollywood the pressure's there. You better lift that face and pump those lips and hike up those boobs! And I was like, 'I don't want to do that. I'm going to get older. I'm going to have wrinkles!' "
Robin, who's engaged to actor Ben Foster, 33, eventually decided against plastic surgery, but admits she gets Botox injections twice a year to keep her face looking smooth.
Meanwhile, Wright joins a Robin joins a growing list of Hollywood celebrities to go Paleo, including Tim McGraw (who credits it for his 40-pound weight loss), Joe Manganiello, Megan Fox, and supermodel Adriana Lima. TV star Jack Osbourne and singer Chad Vaccarino both use the low-carb Paleo diet to treat their multiple sclerosis.
The Paleo diet emphasizes high-quality animal proteins, healthy fats, low-starch vegetables and fruits, and excludes gluten, sugar, dairy, legumes, alcohol and processed foods. Proponents say the Paleo diet promotes weight loss, and prevents diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression, and even Alzheimer's.
Paleo Proven Twice as Effective for Weight Loss, Burning Belly Fat
A recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicated the Paleo diet is twice as effective for weight loss, reducing belly fat, and controlling diabetes than a low-fat diet — which has long been considered the gold standard for diets.
The two-year study tracked 70 overweight, post-menopausal women who were assigned either a low-fat diet or a low-carb (higher-fat) Paleo diet. Study participants were measured for weight, cholesterol and blood sugars after six months on their respective diets, and again after two years. The results showed the Paleo dieters lost significantly more weight (14 pounds) compared to the low-fat dieters (5.7 pounds).
What's more, the low-carb, high-fat Paleo dieters lost four inches from their waists after six months, compared to just two inches for the low-fat dieters. In previous studies, the Paleo diet has routinely beaten low fat diets at controlling cholesterol and diabetes.
The results are noteworthy because older women — especially those who are post-menopausal — have historically reported having a hard time losing weight, especially from their mid-sections, due to slower metabolisms and hormone disruptions.
The new Swedish study bolsters claims by leading obesity experts who say low-carb diets like the Paleo and ketogenic diets are the solution for rapid weight loss, reversing type 2 diabetes, treating multiple sclerosis, and preventing dementia, cancer, and ADHD.
"Clinical trials have shown the Paleo diet is the optimum diet that can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, markers of inflammation, help with weight loss, reduce acne, promote optimum health and athletic performance," said Dr. Loren Cordain, founder of the Paleo movement.
Fitness expert Robb Wolf, a former biochemist, agrees. "The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the only nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic," said Wolf.

Job openings rate, December 2009
February 18, 2010
The job openings rate (seasonally adjusted) was little changed in December, at 1.9 percent. The rate has been 1.8 percent or 1.9 percent since March 2009.
In December, the job openings rate increased in State and local government and decreased in the Midwest.
Over the 12 months ending in December, the job openings rate (not seasonally adjusted) decreased for total nonfarm and total private and was unchanged in government. The job openings rate also decreased over that period in educational services and in health care and social assistance, as well as in the South and Midwest regions.
These data are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: December 2009" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-0169.

Israel hosts an international congress to show other countries a new model for medical clowning as a recognized hospital therapy.
Whether it's music, dance, visual art or new media, Jerusalem in the summer is the venue for inspired creativity
The flag of the State of Israel is based on the design of the Jewish prayer shawl (tallit), with a blue Shield of David (Magen David).
The official emblem of the State of Israel is a candelabrum (menorah), whose shape is said to be derived from the seven-branched moriah, a plant known since antiquity. The olive branches on either side represent Israel's yearning for peace.

Institute of Medicine news release.
Van Cauter, E. Annals of Internal Medicine, Dec. 7, 2004.
Uptodate.com: "Patient information: High-fiber diet (Beyond the Basics)," Arnold Wald, MD.
Small amounts of weight loss achieved in a healthful manner is most beneficial. Losing as little as 5% of body weight can help improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, fastingblood sugar, and bloodtriglycerides. Being overweight increases the risk for many chronic diseases, and losing small amounts of weight can improve your health and slowly help you reach a healthier weight. We encourage you to make small changes in eating and physical activity patterns that can be sustained over time and which will slowly help you lose weight permanently.
You are not alone; the average adult only eats 12-17 grams of fiber, but should be eating about 14 grams for every 1,000 calories they eat.
There are two basic types of fiber -- soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber, found in whole grains, bran, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, adds bulk to your diet and aids in normal bowel movements. Soluble fiber, found in oats, beans, peas, apples, blueberries, dates, and pears, has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
To increase your intake of dietary fiber, start by reading labels and choosing foods that have a few grams of fiber per serving. Kick-start your day with a bowl of whole-grain cereal or bran cereal with at least 5 grams of fiber per serving and top it with fresh fruit. At lunch, choose whole-grain bread and add veggies to your sandwich or select a salad and top it with veggies, beans, and nuts. Enjoy whole grains at dinner along with more fruit and vegetables. Be sure to drink plenty of liquids while increasing your fiber intake to minimize any gastrointestinal discomfort.
Though not a substitute for food sources, fiber supplements such as psyllium and methylcellulose can also help you meet your daily fiber needs.
Anytime you increase your fiber intake be sure to do so slowly. This will help prevent gas and cramping.
Diet pills rarely lead to permanent weight loss. The best method for weight loss is the tried-and-true formula of good eating habits and plenty of exercise. Using over-the-counter weight loss drugs is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Save the money and spend it on nutritious foods. Get in touch with your hunger and appetite instead of relying on supplements that are uncontrolled by the FDA and often have no scientific proof of effectiveness.
Experts agree: The best way to lose weight is to get regular physical activity and eat meals made up of foods that satisfy hunger and control appetite. Include a source of lean or low fat protein at all meals and snacks along with high-fiber fruit, vegetables, or whole grains for the most satiating meals.
The latest recommendations suggest using thirst as the guideline for how much fluid to drink each day. Individual fluid needs vary from person to person. Most healthy adult men should drink about 3 liters of fluids a day (approximately 102 ounces), and women about 2 liters, or about 68 ounces (unless he or she is fluid restricted). Discuss the amount of fluids you should be drinking with your health care provider.
Pay attention to thirst as well as the color and odor of your urine. Dry mouth and concentrated (dark) urine are good indicators that you need more fluids. Dry environments, heat, and physical activity, especially during warm weather, all increase hydration needs. Both young children and older adults are more vulnerable to dehydration. Keep in mind your body constantly loses water as it evaporates from your skin. Individuals with larger body surfaces and those who perspire more will lose greater amounts of water through evaporation.
Some people do not have enough of the enzyme, lactase, which is needed to digest dairy products. This can cause digestion problems and stomach discomfort.
If you have low levels of lactase, you may only be able to tolerate small amounts of dairy products. Buttermilk and cheeses have less lactose than milk and might be better tolerated. Lactase enzymes can also be added to milk or taken in a capsule to make it more digestible. Cutting all dairy from your diet may limit the amount of protein, vitamin D, and calcium that you get. Talk to your health care provider about your symptoms and get advice about what is the best diet for you.
Getting a few more hours sleep each night will not automatically result in weight loss; however, if you are not getting enough sleep, it may be slowing down your weight loss journey. Recent research suggests that hunger hormones get out of sync when you are sleep deprived and a good night's rest can get them back on track. Sleeping at least seven hours per night can get your hunger hormones functioning properly and help you feel more energetic during the day.
A pill cannot be a substitute for a healthy diet. Food is always the best source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. There is a synergistic relationship between all of the food components that work in tandem to promote good health. Supplements are designed to "supplement" or provide nutritional insurance for the inevitable nutrient gaps in eating plans.
Once-daily multivitamins/minerals geared for age and sex should take into account the changing needs of adult men and women. But they may not be needed if you have a well-rounded, healthy diet. If you cannot tolerate dairy and do not eat calcium-fortified foods, you may need additional calcium beyond a multivitamin. But check with your health care provider, first. Recent studies have questioned the safety of high levels of calcium supplements in some women.
During child-bearing years it is essential for women to get adequate folate and iron in their diet or through supplements. Pregnant and lactating women have increased needs that require a special supplement during these times.
Vegetarians may need to add supplements depending on the foods excluded in their diets. Smokers require an additional 35 milligrams of vitamin C that can easily be obtained from fruits or vegetables.
Congratulations, you are taking the first step toward improved health. Quitting smoking can result in enhanced taste, smell, appetite, and a desire to eat more often. Weight gain can occur if you substitute food for tobacco. To avoid weight gain, keep your mouth busy with sugarless gum or suck on hard candies. Stock your kitchen with nutritious snacks so you can satisfy urges with fruits, vegetables, or lean protein. Drink plenty of water and avoid empty-calorie foods like soda and chips that can cause weight gain.
First, try to figure out why you snack. You may snack because you are bored, tired, or in response to an emotion, such as loneliness; or you may snack because your diet is inadequate. Eat well-balanced meals and allow for nutritious snacks that include lean protein and high fiber fruits, vegetables, or whole grains. Avoid "eating amnesia" when you snack in front of the television or directly from a bag and end up eating much more than you should. Plan your snacks in advance and take along nutritious foods and drinks so you are prepared when the snack attack occurs.

Entry #3
10:30 p.m. CHINA TIME
"Mishaps are like knives that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the handle or by the blade."
-James Russell Lowell
Tonight we got off to a rough start with mishap after mishap - turnover after turnover. However, our guys did a great job of meeting adversity face to face. In fact, we were down 12 points at the beginning of the 4th quarter and managed to grasp the knife by its handle. Then our opponents hit two free throws to tie the game (PING JU) 76-76!
Let's just say Xavier Silas saved the day! He led with his energy while the team followed in a game, that somehow managed to not go into overtime. But imagine 2,000 plus fans individually standing, one arm over the other (imitating Xavier after he made a big play) creating the letter X.
Although the Jiang Jin community was worried about having another aftershock from the earthquake, they managed to come out to the game anyway!
The blessing is that we gave the entire district/city a game that took their minds off the recent earthquake and the reported 21 aftershocks. On the other hand, they gave us a Final Four-like atmosphere that eased our minds off possibly experiencing an earthquake.
Great Game - Great Fan Support
As for me, I could not help but think about the time I experienced my first earthquake! If you are now wondering if I am going to tell you yet another college story then buckle your seatbelt as you read this.
During my first semester around final exams, I, for the first time all year, managed to be responsible and go to bed early at one in the morning!
Like a not-so-responsible college student, my roommate felt the need to stay up and finish typing a paper that was due the following week. Dismissing all myths of college students cramming!
Moving on, so please tap into your imagination to get this visual, I was asleep along the wall on a twin size dorm room bed. All of a sudden I open one eye only to find myself softly ramming my forehead into the drywall before I went back to sleep. All of a sudden I woke up the second time to not only hearing but feeling a big boom. So I sat up, drowsy and with both eyes open this time, I see and feel the entire room shaking. I jump up and began to run. Where? I don't know. But according to my roommate I ran in a full circle about three times with white stuff on my forehead!
But to make a short story even shorter, I had to explain this to both my coaches and teammates for the simple fact that I pulled a calf muscle.
I agree, major mishap! I managed to grasp the panic knife by the blade and I got cut! I missed practice for two days!
We are off to Rong Chang tomorrow which is according to the bus driver a "two hour" bus ride.
Good night, good morning,
Dennis Gates
P.S. The bus driver told us for the past two days that travel time will be two hours! Usually it takes 3-4 hours with no traffic. So we will see! Also, if you have any questions that you would like to ask me, please e-mail me at email@example.com. I will try to get to as many as I can.

This blog has been updated to incorporate the Japan GDP data published on Monday.
Japan, it seems, is still stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rather shocking gross domestic product figures just published for the third quarter show that the economy has fallen into yet another technical recession since the sales tax was increased in April. On this evidence, it will be hard to achieve fiscal sustainability without abandoning the economic recovery. Abenomics, which was supposed to resolve this longstanding dilemma, is in trouble.
Although Japanese GDP data are notoriously volatile from quarter to quarter, and this batch was depressed by a temporary burst of inventory shedding, underlying consumer and corporate spending is very weak. Aggressive monetary easing and a huge devaluation have not been enough, as yet anyway, to overcome the effects of even a modest fiscal tightening.
In the next few days, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is widely expected to react to the GDP figures by announcing that the second leg of a sales tax increase, scheduled for October 2015, has been postponed until 2017. Since this delay would be supported by two-thirds of the Japanese electorate, it may be the prelude to a snap general election in December.
In itself, the postponement of the sales tax increase will have a negligible effect on fiscal sustainability, and it will help restore the economic recovery next year. But the fact that it needs to be considered at all raises wider questions about the longer term success of Abenomics. Read more

Summer Reading at Oliver Wolcott Technical High School
Summer reading will be required for all students, including incoming ninth graders. The reading will be connected to our Accelerated Reading (AR) initiative, a computer-based program that promotes reading skills by allowing students to choose high-interest books and take online quizzes. For this summer's reading, students and parents may go to arbookfind.com to check if a specific title is in the AR database of nearly 144,000 books. AR books are easy to find in libraries and bookstores since they include most books that are popular with young adults; however, families are advised not to purchase books until checking the website.
The student must select a book with a reading level of "MG" or higher. Also, experience teaches that students should take the quizzes soon after finishing the books, so it's a good idea to complete the book toward the end of the summer. If this is not possible, we offer a link to a "Book Summary by Chapter" worksheet that will help students review the books before the quizzes. Quizzes will be administered in the first days of school.
Please note that students who have attempted to take quizzes on books they might have read much earlier find that they do not score well. Read something new that you will enjoy!

I started moving accounts from one cPanel server to another at a different hosting facility. The accounts were being moved from my Colocated servers to a VPS.
During the transfer I also wanted to change the nameservers for all the domains we are hosting because the current nameservers use a name from a previous business entity.
I was doing fine with the transfer until the VPS started going crazy on me. Apparently the VPS has a 1mil inode limit. This was an issue.
Now we have decided to go with a dedicated server. Currently the domains I have already transferred are pointing to the new nameservers which are both directed at the VPS.
Now I need to start moving accounts to the dedicated server which means the DNS zone records will not be on the VPS, but only on the dedicated box.
My question then is this:
If I change these domain's nameservers to the new hostnames is it possible to point one of the nameservers at the dedicated box and leave the other pointed to the VPS?
This way every zone record, whether it is on the VPS or dedicated box would be available, correct?
OR does the DNS server look at the first NS machine and if it receives any answer at all, such as "Domain doesn't exist", simply stop the lookup without checking the other NS?
I'm sorry this is so convoluted. If anyone knows a better way to go about this, please let me know. I'm on a limited timetable because the colocated servers will be turned off in a few days.
UPDATE: By the way, I have been testing and when I use nslookup on a domain that I've removed from the first NS it says "No answer" ... Will that cause a failover to another NS or cause the resolver to give up?
Thanks, Tom

Cindy Crawford Movies and Career Information
Feb 20, 1966
Cynthia Ann "Cindy" Crawford (born February 20, 1966) is a former American model. Known for her trademark mole just above her lip, Crawford has adorned hundreds of magazine covers throughout her career. She was named #3 on VH1's 40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s. Her success at modeling made her a celebrity that has led to roles in television and film, and to work as a spokesperson. Crawford was born in DeKalb, Illinois, the daughter of Jennifer Sue Crawford-Moluf (née Walker) and John Crawford (not to be confused with actor and former Mouseketeer Johnny Crawford, of The Rifleman fame). She was discovered at the age of 16 by a newspaper photographer. He noticed Cindy at work during her summer job of detasseling corn and took a picture of her. The photo and positive feedback she received were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the Elite Model Management's Look of the Year contest at 17 and was the runner-up. The Elite modeling agency in Chicago then started representing her. Crawford graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984, as valedictorian. She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one

The Mosaic Foundation, a charitable and educational organization based in Washington DC and founded by the spouses of the Arab Ambassadors accredited to the United States, yesterday held its Eighth Annual Benefit Gala, West Looks East: The Influence of Traditional Arab Design on Contemporary Western Fashion. First Lady Laura Bush was honorary chairwoman of the Gala. In a statement on the occasion, Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, President of the Foundation's Board of Trustees, expressed Mosaic's interest in supporting programs that take care of mothers and children in the Arab world, and that benefit from the transfer of advanced medical expertise.
Since its establishment in 1998, the Foundation has given donations totaling over seven million U.S. dollars. This year's donation goes to Mosaic's tele-medicine initiative in collaboration with the National Center for Children's Medicine in Washington DC. The project is scheduled to commence its first phase by linking pediatrics specialists in Morocco with their counterparts in the United States. Mosaic also announced plans to set up an Arab Cultural Center in Washington DC aimed at enhancing cultural ties between the United States and the countries of the Arab world.
Last night's event, which in addition to a dinner featured an exhibition of traditional folk costumes and Arab fashion designs, was the culmination of a six-month cultural season on the topic "the west looks to the east" during which nine lectures on the values and heritage of the Islamic civilization and its impact globally.

Viewers won't be able to return to Westeros for another two months, but a new video reveals just how it comes to life. On Wednesday, February 5 Comingsoon.net posted a behind the scenes video from the upcoming fourth season of the hit HBO series, "Game of Thrones," which explores how much work goes into creating the show.
Production designer Deborah Riley talks about what exactly goes into the sets for the television show over the course of the two and a half minute video, which also includes sneak peeks of actors filming for the upcoming season. Riley describes setting up each set as a way to "provide the environment in which the actors do their work" and "to maintain the reality" of the series from season to season.
She describes the process as "extreme art department" and explains that the show created over one new sets for season four, not including sets that were reused from previous episodes. Footage shown during the clip includes Cersei Lannister and Margaery Tyrell overseeing preparations for the wedding, while Daenerys adjusts to sitting on a throne.
"Game of Thrones" will return on Sunday, April 9 at 9 p.m. on HBO. Tune in to the ten episode season and find out which details from the book series made it into the new season. Season four will include the second half of the book "A Storm of Swords" by author George R. R. Martin. The new season was filmed on two continents in both Iceland and Morocco, which are the ideal locations for the Wall and King's Landing.

Status Reports and Ponderings
Tuesday, November 05, 2013
Carbo binge recovery report: symptoms are getting better, but poundage is still up. I know it's water and other 'stuff' cuz I can see it on my hip line. What's going in is definitely NOT coming out!...
I know it will resolve as long as I stay on my eating/water routine.
Stress report: Moved dad's stuff to new asst'd living. He's in hosp for physical rehab, so I only had to deal with big bro and his 2 oldest sons who are in their early 20's. They were the hired muscle, but I packed boxes, dealt with admin details, said good byes. Had a good talk with my big bro. After our blow-out when my head finally popped off( after 25 yrs of taking crap), we re-connected via text. Since we are both 'word persons', it's worked great!
Anyway, moving out was bittersweet. Old asst'd living is very 'Stepford' (Think "Stepford Wives"). When dad no longer fit the profile, they evicted him. Sad that people/places are like that and that his health is declining and he has to move away from his friends. Happy that the new asst'd living is SUPER GLAD to have him. It's a very nice place with nice staff. They have a Memory Care wing when/if needed, so no more moves!
Happiness report: Work will start today to get outside of house painted
Painter showed up yesterday as planned to powerwash, but I forgot (see above), so he had Monday off while dh & I chopped away bouganvilla, palms, cleaned porch of remaining Halloween decor and cleared the house perimeter of all dh's various 'good stuff' items. (He's a 'Sanford & Son' guy plus his family is from Hawaii, so he loves and has cultivated the 'jungle look' in our yard. I prefer the 'English Garden' manicured look, but I gave up that battle long ago...
) There's still a bit of chopping to do, and I'll get to it after my HOT skinny mocha
and SP Time
So I'm juggling 3 home improvement projects (family room, outside house painting and rental house inside/outside painting). Plus I've got 4+ rooms in queue that I want to re-paint. This makes me happy, happy, happy! but makes my dh crazy, crazy, crazy.
Interesting that after 28 years together I'm learning something new about dh. 'His' 3 car garage is FULL of GOOD STUFF (Cars live in driveway) and our yards look like Kauai, but house / home improvement clutter send him off the deep end.
Something to ponder while I'm dealing with the Yapping Chihuauas of my day today.....

Logan, I don't know if you are still looking for vintage tuners for your Texan, but if you are, contact firstname.lastname@example.com and he can get them for you from Germany and you won't have to pay the duty and shipping. I ordered a set from him (he works at an authorized Framus dealer in New York) and he ordered them from Germany with other parts he ordered for newer Warwick and Framus guitars his shop was repairing, and he charged me the cost of the tuners and $10 for shipping. Hope this helps.
Your Telecaster weighs more than your Lead Paul? That is different. Your Teli must be rather old. I've never saw a heavier guitar than a Lead Paul.
Any update? Have you found your 12-string yet?
I heard from Jud - the prices are only $379 for the acoustic and $489 for the QI...probably plus shipping - still good deals, IMHO...
Logan -
I don't know whether you want electronics or a straight acoustic but, if you'd be willing to have one shipped to you, Quarternote Music in NC has 2 Seagull S12's - one straight acoustic, one with the Q1 electronics - for good prices. Supposedly 2010 models, but brand new, the acoustic is in the $300's and the Q1 is in the $400's - leave a comment for Jud Hair (who posted about them) for more exact prices...
Since you loved the 6 string, you'd probably love the 12-string as well... :-)
The Art & Lutherie 12 is about $500 with electronics - sorry...
Oh, and check out the online inventory of Wolfe Guitars - http://www.gbase.com/stores/wolfe-guitars/inventory - lots of great info, and some pretty 12-strings to look at... :-)
Here's one:
Logan - just read your comment about your Framus 12-string - sorry to hear about that...
But you also asked for recommendations - so...
Are you looking for spruce or cedar topped? My recommendations include:
Seagull S12 - solid cedar topped, laminate wild cherry back and sides - about $400 street (w/o electronics)
Norman B18-12 or Norman B20-12 - the 18 is cedar topped, the 20 spruce...
Simon & Patrick Woodland 12 Spruce
Art & Lutherie 12 Cedar Antique Burst - about $500 street (w/o electronics)
The 4 above are from the Godin family of acoustic guitars - made in Canada!
Also, Walden makes a good 12 string - the D552 - solid spruce top, laminate mahogany back and sides - about $370 street - here's a link to one at an online dealer I respect in NC (I bought my daughter's Walden T550 from him) - http://holeinthewood.com/acoustic-guitars-dreadnought-c-1_6/walden-guitars-d552-12-string-natura-series-dreadnought
Finally, I would strongly suggest that you try to find a Giannini Craviola 12-string to play - I have one, and they are extremely comfortable to play, and have a fantastic tone...
Enjoy the hunt!

Do you dream of taking a career break to travel?
If so, what stops you? What obstacles do you face? What's the most daunting part about making it happen? And what information could I provide that would help?
I ask for two reasons: I'm working on my own project about how to take a career break to travel, and I'm also helping organize a career-break-themed event called Meet, Plan, Go. It'll take place nationally in October (so if you're interested, you should look for one near you), including here in Washington, D.C.
Your input will help me make both of these projects fabulous!

Secrets of Success
December Goals
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Here I am late again with my goals. I haven't been on SparkPeople as much lately. I haven't "fallen" off really I just haven't taken much me time lately. I am not eating as healthy but when I look at my habits vs what they were and when I look at others around me (or when they look at me) I still eat pretty dang healthy. I have not worked out as much either. I feel scrawny. I know, some people would probably love to be able to say that but I'm not even fitting right in my clothes and I'm sick of some of the comments I get. I eat very healthy, I work out in good ranges and my labs whenever I go to the doctor are fabulous now so I don't feel comments are warranted. I've had to explain that to people, how healthy I eat, workout, the doctor stuff, telling people I'm not "skinny" I'm really toned and when I show them my stomach or biceps/triceps they are surprised. It's winter people I need to wear clothes..
OK sorry mini rant...so anyway that brought me to not working out as much. But as of yesterday I decided that was stupid. Maybe running three miles three to four times a week isn't needed right now but why can't I go to the gym and walk on an incline and use the recumbent bike and why can't I do my strength training DVD's? If I just stop working out it'll reverse things and it'll affect my energy and mood. Like I said my labs look great and I'm in a healthy range. I think it's more people comparing the difference from before to now and feeling I look skinny because I don't have comments from people who don't know me that are negative it's actually quite the opposite.
I have felt very unorganized lately and as of Monday I started kicking that in the butt. A few weeks ago I cleaned out all my storage bins in the garage which felt great but then I remained flat for a few weeks. Monday I did a major cleaning of clothes and drawers. Getting rid of the clutter felt great and it will continue tonight with deep cleaning of my bathroom and kitchen after my little girl goes to bed. I haven't used my bill journal either. Monday when I was cleaning I found my previous one that I thought was lost and I went out and bought a new 2014 planner. Tonight after I clean the bathroom and kitchen will be bill time. It shouldn't take me long but it'll be nice to have it done.
I decided to do a 100 day challenge to drink at least 8 cups of water. I just made myself sick from dehydration which is stupid on my part. it should be one of the easiest goals to hit yet it's been plaguing me for week.
So here are my goals to finish out the year:
1.) Drink at least 8 cups of water a day for the next 100 days
2.) Check in daily with my Get Organized SparkTeam for the 3 a day challenge and keep up with my bill book and todo list
3.) Log on to Spark People each day and aim at 100 point
4.) Make a less rigorous workout schedule
Update 12/14/13
So here are my goals to finish out the year:
1.) Not doing the best on water. Better than I was but not even a two day streak with 8 cups. Even with having people I've told and I'm trying to stay accountable to. Today is a new day though.
2.) I've been getting things done. I haven't checked in with the team everyday but I've gotten my todo list notebook out and have been using my blog about organization to document projects around the house.
3.) I haven't logged in everyday but I log in more days than not and I usually hit 100 points when I do.
4.) I haven't made a schedule yet but I have been working out.

I'm weird and love to organize stuff, so that sounds kinda fun to me! Good luck with it though! I know it's hard for some people.
Sometimes a less rigorous workout schedule is just what we need. I know that I have been hiit-ing hard, so I need a break for a few days.
Water is sometimes hard to do, but I think you'll get it this time!
Good luck!!!

Bank, Novelty, Kennedy Memorial
This John F. Kennedy memorial bank was created by Astro Manufacturing, a company founded in 1957 by John and Steven Berzac, two brothers who had formerly worked at Duro Manufacturing (making space-themed mechanical banks). Created to memorialize the President who was remembered by many as an advocate for spaceflight, this bank may well have used the intention to have President Kennedy memorialized on the half dollar as its inspiration. Unlike the mechanical banks that had also been designed by the Berzacs, this bank was a simple still bank with a slot in the top for the deposit of coins and a locked hatch in the base for their removal.
Raymond Reines donated this bank to the Museum in 2011.
Gift of Raymond R. Reines. Dedicated to the Berzac Family, in honor of Team NASA.
- Country of Origin
- United States of America

Remy, seated in a reasonably-fashionable-yet-completely-utilitarian carriage, folded her hands in her lap and pondered her future. She felt exactly like
the persecuted heroine in the fairy tale she had absolutely adored as a child. Scorned and abused by a female authority, ordered to slave away at menial and meaningless tasks, and being offered a chance of rescue--something told Remy it was all too good to be true, but what if this truly
her one chance at "happily ever after"? If she took it and eventually lost, then at least she would have attempted to seize the opportunity, but if she never tried at all...Such was tantamount to losing, too, and Remy didn't want to waste her life in the endless lament of "could have, would have, should have". Thus, she steeled her spine and summoned her courage as the carriage bore her slowly up a steep incline to the very summit of the cliff upon which
Le Manoir Macabre
rested. The only other way down led straight into the sea, right off the edge of that very same cliff.
If I recall correctly, Le Manoir was not originally owned by the St. John family,
Remy thought to herself.
I believe that the St. Johns acquired it from a wealthy French couple, Maurice and Ludivine du Monde, who were running out of money very quickly due to the massive debts they incurred. Gambling was Maurice's secret vice; social climbing was Ludivine's. Eventually, after they sold the mansion to the original Master St. John--Anthony's great-grandfather--they made a pact to die together as gracefully as they had lived. On their last night in the house, Maurice shot himself with a brand-new invention: Samuel Colt's magnificent 'revolver', and Ludivine drank red wine laced with an extremely potent sedative. How sad! The mansion, which was formerly known as Le Manoir du Monde, became Le Manoir Macabre in local parlance after that...
Shivering due to the sudden cold from getting out of the carriage, Remy let the coachman help her up the wide marble steps to the front porch of the grand old house. She walked with a heavy limp and slow, faltering steps, and thus was grateful for his kind assistance.
