the largest u.s. solar manufacturer announcing a plunge in their earnings. revenue for when it delivers, but it has not been booking new projects. that is why we see a big decline in the profits and the shares as well, guys. for the big story. the house ways and means committee is planning a huge change to tax cuts. what are they planning? >> this would collapse seven brackets into two brackets for essentially all taxable income, ensuring 99% of taxpayers face maximum rates of 25% or less. specifically, this is how he will do it. theof americans would be in 25% tax bracket.
3:03 pm
those who are above that would be hit with an additional rates. this would make filing a lot more >>, because instead of seven tax brackets we would be down to two, or i guess at least three. you would have that additional 10% tax for those making over 100 $50,000. moreover, it would end the unequal treatment for the carried interest private equity managers pay themselves. does this plan have legs? we are joined by the american action forum director of fiscal -- gordon, i will start with you. is there a chance we could see something like this get through congress? be great. that would there is a lot of debate out there about how big an effect
3:04 pm
tax reform could have on it, but i think there is a broad consensus that in general it is universally positive. if you ask anybody out there, should we do something good for the economy, most people would say yes. yes, we should. >> is it good for the economy? i immediately thought, hmm, if i made close to $450,000, i would want to make sure i get under that level. do you think people will be saying the same thing? code today there are plenty of opportunities to find tax shelters and shipped your income around. this is meant to address some of those tax shelters and loopholes, but it introduces new ones. the 10% surtax threshold, the definition of income attached to it --
3:05 pm
>> but at least the numbers -- it used to be 250 thousand dollars was the magic number where you hit another bracket. at least the number is going up here. >> there are a number of provisions. there are provisions that taken at the $250,000 level. there is itemized deductions at about that level. there is the new tim percent bracket -- quite asnot sounding easy as they want us to think then. >> there is a lot in here. i would not call it simple. it is complicated. it is possibly simpler than the current tax code, which is complicated. >> is it possible to be more complex than the current tax code? that is the question. heard thatn i
3:06 pm
someone wanted to lower the rate and broaden the base, i immediately said it's not going to happen. people in washington are paid the money for these loopholes. that is how they get paid the money, are reelected. >> sure. changes toly is true the tax code actually get pas sed? 100hen you look at the years of the tax code and the paucity of real reforms, that ought to tell you something about how hard it is to do. the chairman putting out a real raposo, and quite frankly enough in there to spin off every one of those special interests -- first of all, i think that is a good sign. if you have ticked off everybody, that is an indication of the broad reform we need. >> carried interest rates are
3:07 pm
interesting. how was it -- we talk about income inequality and we're trying to have a discussion about that, how is it fair that someone who makes $300,000 has seen their tax rate go up where is someone who makes three injured billion dollars has not dollars hasmillion not seen an increase? do we not need to change this so people are paying 15% when they should be paying 39%? >> well -- >> and that is a very complicated area of the tax code. you can argue for it and against it. i think the carried interest rule is a gray area, somewhere between investment income and standard wages -- >> how is that a gray area? you have private equity bankers paying themselves and only paying 15% tax rate. >> right, because it is
3:08 pm
considered investment income under the tax code that is currently stated. >> so does that need to change? >> i don't think that needs to change. investment income has always been referentially treated in the tax code, for 100 years. >> with good reason. >> it is under this tax code as well. there is a good reason for that. investment income is already taxed in a number of ways under the tax code. corporate tax. it is double taxed or triple tax currently. so those rates on shareholders should be reduced from where they currently are. >> maybe if you raise income taxes -- notes, reading for your one of the interesting things i thought was you say that this proposal is "good and achievable." i thought that was interesting. it's not great though, right?
3:09 pm
you mentioned the things that make it achievable. it is revenue neutral. maybe some people think that is a plus. it contains progressive and he. that is something you could argue across party lines. what makes this a great traffic -- what makes this a great tax-cut proposal and why don't we see that? >> there was the revenue too.ality box in 1996, reform will have political constraints. a lot of us think that good tax reform will raise economic growth and you would see revenue flow from that. the so-called dynamic scoring and just a much you count that. under conventional models, you go with the static scoring. you look at the boxes they are in right now, it makes it harder. lowering rates, you've got to find trade-offs for that. it can be very challenging.
3:10 pm
the same thing with progressivity, with the fiscal cliff or you have higher rates on folks. it would just a politically impossible. i think the chairman put out a alteringout radically the progressivity of the cuts. >> we will see if there is momentum. thanks so much, will and gordon. do not miss it. tomorrow we will be joined by congressman dave can't. tomorrow -- congressman dave camp. right here on "street smart." there has been such an amount of loan availability for people to go to school, and there is some thought -- if you have tax incentives, will that drive the education cost up as well? >> yeah, the word incentive makes me uneasy.
3:11 pm
i would just like everyone to pay his own share of taxes and do the rest, what you like. i think flatter would be a good idea. this is only my personal opinion, not those of bloomberg llc. >> up next, adam is going to give us a little insight and action into what you can do with your portfolio.

michael kors, priceline. i found a total of 24 companies. go to @ajinsight. by the way this group, up about 10% year to date. this is how you win in this market. >> all right one company that would love upwards revisions is jcpenney. turnaround said its was beginning to take old, after that company announced a number of cost saving measures. sales rose for the first time into a nap years. right now we are joined by a retail analyst for more on jcp. what should we think about this company? is a turnaround possible? have you seen the worst of it, liz?
3:17 pm
a turnaround is certainly possible. i do not know if we will see a lot of evidence of it in this quarter. i think it will be a difficult quarter to measure whether jcpenney is actually seeing a turn. >> how long is it going to take? theoretically? depends on what you are aiming for. i think you will see positive sales in 2014, and we are seeing them in the fourth quarter. they have been announced they are seeing mostly positive comps for the fourth quarter. in terms of getting back into earnings territory, i think that could take a couple more years. the couple weeks ago company announced it was going to replace its cfo, the chief financial officer. it strikes me that manager changes drag on a little bit
3:18 pm
longer as far as achieving new goals. sometime new managers bring new goals. don't they want to stay away from that for a little while and have a common set of managers until the shift has been -- until the ship has been completely write it? -- completely righted? ? ideally that would be the case. i think in this case it is the seated cfo becoming fatigued. he has done a tremendous job. it has been a difficult couple of years. he has turned over the reins. reality of the positions. there has been chatter about investors wanting to see a new ceo. i actually think that mike oldman is doing a great job and would like to see him continue. on,f only he had stayed right? >> yeah, but you can't rewrite history. >> sadly. thanks so much, liz. we will bring in those numbers as soon as --

why? how? meanss is something that -- needs to be combated on them. affronts. we can look at this regarding food policy and say that cheap food that is unhealthy is affordable, and sure, people can afford healthy food, so there is definitely that argument. the hope is that healthy food will become more affordable over time. but the real reality is that at some point we cannot wait for big food or a business to come along and save us. we have to take personal accountability. eating less food does not cost us more money. getting outside and walking is free. the big solution here is a simple one. we eat less, we move more. that is accessible and affordable. the bigger question is -- how come many of us are not doing it? i do a dress that during my show. but it is a question he have to

Excessive Pronation
Normally when you walk, your foot lands on the outer side of the heel first. Your weight then passes along the inner edge of the sole (normal pronation) and then back to the outside of the foot. In excessive pronation, the body weight stays on the inner edge of the sole.

After a lifetime spent on the Great Plains, I am still amazed at the power Mother Nature can produce.
From gentle rain to roaring thunderstorms, from dusty whirlwinds to tornadoes, and from drought to floods, Mother Nature can do it all. Also in her bag of many tricks, and my favorite trick of all, is her ability to produce the miracle of a mirage.
I can recall time after time where shimmering waves of heat rising from our pastures created beautiful blue lakes with waves washing ashore on sandy beaches. But, as you travel closer, the lake moves on or suddenly disappears. The sight is so real you rub your eyes in disbelief.
The lake mirages happened almost daily when as a boy, I guided a dusty, hot tractor around the wheat fields of Ochiltree County. I passed many an hour imagining I was afloat in that lake shimmering ahead, either driving a boat or swimming instead of driving a tractor.
I am an early riser and many times I have traveled to Amarillo at sunrise to find Groom, White Deer and Panhandle sitting atop a rim of hills around the horizon. Now I know there are no hills there and Mother Nature is pulling another of her many tricks. Sometimes the mirage lasts for many minutes and other times only a few seconds, but it sure makes you take notice.
In the 1950s, I waited out a low cattle market by driving nails for a living in Colorado Springs, Colo. Every morning for two years, I stepped out my door to enjoy Pike's Peak and Cheyenne Mountain on the western horizon. After moving back to the Panhandle, it took months to break myself from looking for the mountains.
One morning, Mother Nature used smoke from Borger and a few low, dark clouds to create mountains for me. I nearly fell off the porch when I saw them.
Each time a mirage appears, I think about the early Spanish explorers and other Great Plains travelers. Imagine their thoughts and consternation as they watched lakes and mountains appear, then disappear right before their eyes. Throw in a good thunderstorm with plenty of lightning and a pelting from hailstones and no wonder they feared the ever-changing prairies.
With tall grass waving in the winds, shimmering mirages flicking on and off and with almost no landmarks to go by, they called it a "sea of grass" and were afraid they would lose their way when traveling across the untracked grasslands.
Early morning fog is another trick similar to mirages. Recently, on my way to the Alanreed coffee shop, the McClellan Creek bottoms were covered by a low-level ground fog. I paused on a hilltop and observed a beautiful, imaginary lake stretching for miles up and down the creek valley.
Another morning found ground fog at the base of the Groom cross, making it appear to rise out of the mists and float in the morning sky. It is at these times I realize why the Panhandle is my favorite place to live. What a privilege it has been.

It's my opinion that the Add User option in the admin interface should indicate which fields are required to make a user. A simple (*) with a note saying 'required' at the bottom would suffice, so that you don't have a suprise on the next page.
I hope this fits with the guidelines for bug reporting. I hope to help with WordPress much more in the near future, as I've recently converted from Simplog. I'm sure someone will straighten me out if this is an innappropriate place for "ui bugs"/"feature requests".

I have some custom pages that first call for page content, then the custom pages call for posts from a specific category.
- The 'Previous Posts' and 'Next Posts' links are showing up after every post.
- When clicking on 'Previous Posts' or 'Next Posts' I get the same first 7 posts. There are 10 there. I am not truly 'seeing' the second page. However, the link does change from 'Previous' to 'Next'
Here is the PHP being used for this:
<?php $page_62 = new WP_Query('page_id=62'); $page_62->the_post(); ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content( ); ?>
<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php query_posts('cat=12&order=ASC'); ?>
<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content( ); ?>

<?php next_posts_link('Previous Posts') ?>

<?php previous_posts_link('Next Posts') ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>

There are currently no Small Dogs available for adoption.

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/notfound.php"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kurt Busch and Brad Keselowski appear to be on their way to NASCAR's season-ending Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship after combining for seven top-10 finishes in the past five races.
They will compete Sunday in Michigan — meaning there might be a bit more at stake for the Penske Racing duo.
"It's a big race for a lot of us," said Mike Nelson, Penske's vice president of operations. "We always like to come up here and represent Dodge well. Roger and all his businesses — we look forward to it any time we come here. We put the pressure on ourselves to perform."
Owner Roger Penske isn't expected to be on hand this weekend, but his drivers look primed for more success in a race that takes on a little extra significance for the team. Penske Automotive Group is based in the Detroit area, and Penske played a leading role in the city's successful bid to host the 2006 Super Bowl.
Keselowski qualified in sixth for Sunday's race in his No. 2 car, and Busch was 13th in his the No. 22.
"For us at Penske, we're one of the big teams, it's just that we don't have four teams out there every week," Busch said. "I feel like we're doing everything that those top teams are doing, except we only have two cars out there each week instead of four."
Although Penske runs an esteemed IndyCar operation, his NASCAR branch has produced mixed results. Keselowski went without a top-10 finish in his first nine races this year, and Busch earned all sorts of notoriety with a radio tirade against his race team at Richmond in May.
Soon after that, however, both drivers began improving. Busch won three straight poles in June, part of a five-race stretch in which he finished in the top 11 each time. He capped that stretch with an impressive run at Infineon Raceway, earning his first career road course victory.
Busch is currently sixth in the points standings with four races left before the Chase, and Keselowski is in good shape as well. He's 14th in the standings but with two victories, meaning he has the inside track to a wild card spot.
"We've been on a bit of a roll here lately," Nelson said. "We've had some good runs. Right now what we're trying to do is hold onto that and continue to push forward."
Busch has finished in the top 10 in three of his last five races, and Keselowski has four top-10s in that span despite breaking his left ankle during a test session at Road Atlanta. Just days after that injury, he won at Pocono, and he nearly made it two victories a row Monday at Watkins Glen before settling for second.
"I knew at any time we could get on a hot streak. We had shown some performance, just without the execution," Keselowski said. "I look at the last few weeks being good execution combined with the speed that we've had for probably the last two to three months."
Penske isn't expected at Sunday's race — the team said he had another commitment this weekend — but the owner isn't the only one with ties to the area.
Keselowski, who won the Nationwide Series title last year, is from the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills.
"I'd like to say that we're spending a lot of time thinking about the Chase stuff, but to be honest, I'm really not," he said. "I'm thinking a lot about how we can win in Michigan. When you win, you don't have to worry about all that other stuff. It takes care of itself."

Obama to Help UN Invade MaliWritten by Alex Newman
The Obama administration has thrown its support behind an upcoming United Nations-orchestrated invasion of northern Mali, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton traveling the region prodding assorted African regimes into supporting and supplying troops for the controversial scheme. Even as the U.S. government and assorted Muslim dictatorships openly arm Islamists in nations like Syria, the international coalition preparing to invade Mali claims the plot is aimed at quashing Islamic extremism.
The ANC-Communist Party regime came to power in South Africa with Western aid, despite the regime's atrocious history.
With acquiescence and even aid from the West, South Africa is in a death spiral, as its elected communist leaders incite genocide and uprisings to bring about total control.
A year after the execution of former Libyan despot Moammar Gadhafi at the hands of Western-backed rebels, forces opposed to the new Tripoli-based regime ruling parts of Libya are still fighting on. According to news reports, assorted Libyan militias supposedly aligned with the embattled new government have been shelling the Gadhafi-loyalist stronghold of Bani Walid all weekend in a bid to quash the late dictator's remaining die-hard supporters.
Officials with the new government said the fighting reflected the fact that not all of Libya had been "liberated" yet.
Libyan rebels backed by the Obama administration and NATO governments committed a wide range of war crimes, including, in one case, summarily executing and torturing dozens of prisoners of war, possibly including strongman Muammar Gadhafi and his son, the non-profit group Human Rights Watch said in a newly released report. The new Western-backed government ruling parts of Libya out of Tripoli, meanwhile, has failed to investigate or prosecute the well-documented abuses.

Hellcat mascot uses literal translation
So, what exactly is a Hellcat? One definition in the dictionary says, "a violently temperamental person; especially: an ill-tempered woman." The boys at Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, though, were a little more literal with the name. Early versions of the Hellcat's pilot's manual include drawings of a cartoon scruffy, scrappy "cat from Hell," complete with horns, a devil's tail, and a pitch fork. Like many cartoon animals of the era, he's anything but modest, wearing only a pair of red boots as he waves a loaded pistol at anything that comes into view. This version of the F6F Hellcat's mascot was created by P.J. Muller for use in my book, "F6F Hellcat at War" published in 2009.

Museum of Contemporary Art, gift of Loti Smorgon AO and Victor Smorgon AC, 1995
reflective material, wood
H 110.5 W 111.5 D 2cm
Tiger Tiger is one of Gascoigne's renowned and dramatic works made from reflective road signs that flash and flare when they catch the light. Within these works, the clear directional language of the signs are fragmented, the letters are scattered and their meaning incomprehensible. The real meaning of the work lies in experience of the found, weathered and reconfigured material and the play of light upon it.
Although the letters across the surface of Tiger Tiger do not cohere, language is central to its layered play of meaning. Gascoigne's early training was in literature rather than the visual arts, and language infuses her work. Her assemblages are frequently referred to as visual poetry and share with modern poetry the construction techniques of fragmentation, repetition and juxtaposition. She often commented that her collaged use of text in works forms a sort of 'stammering concrete poetry'. (1)
Gascoigne's titles are always significant and she named this work after English poet William Blake's 1794 rumination on the beauty and horror of nature, The Tyger. She frequently referred to Tiger Tiger subsequently in order to demonstrate how a title would come to her in contemplation, following the completion of a work. If the visual effects of Gascoigne's works are open-ended and experiential, the titles reflect the formal qualities that are evocative, personal and precise – providing a point of entry into the work without being prescriptive. Just as Blake's description of the animal begins, 'Tyger tiger burning bright', Gascoigne's title points to the bold yellow and black colouring and its bright reflection. Similarly, the repetition in the title Tiger Tiger mirrors the two square panels of the diptych and the regular grid evokes the ordered patternation of the animal's pelt, like Blake's 'fearful symmetry'.
It is this interplay between the texts of Romantic poem and road signage, like the flash of light across the surface of the work, that captivates our attention, thrills the senses and serves to expand and sharpen our perception of the natural world.
… like, when I was doing Tiger Tiger, the recent work. I do them in the studio and then bring them inside and I just like to watch them, when they're not watching me, and vice versa … and it was there, standing up against the table, and I went past it and just said 'Tiger Tiger', and I just knew that was its name, you see, and it was … it was the squareness, and the yellow flashing tiger crouching in the grass with grass all over its face, a sort of threat … as roadsigns are, and, to me, it was the right name. And as far as those things go, the fact of the retro-reflector, I've always liked the glint to be brought out. I don't want it to be dramatically lit, but I do want it to sometimes flash at you, as road signs do, and then go sullen, then flash, like a living thing …
I don't want it to be dramatically lit, but I do want it to sometimes flash at you, as road signs do, and then go sullen, then flash, like a living thing
