One more stock-market skeptic is throwing in the towel.
The gloomy prognosticators at London-based research firm Capital Economics turned a tad more optimistic this week, changing course as major stock indexes hover around record highs. A good enough earnings season and diminished short-term concerns over future Fed policy prompted the firm to shift its thinking.
"The implied selloff in the second half of the year now seems rather unlikely," Jessica Hinds and John Higgins, analysts at Capital Economics, alerted clients on Wednesday. "We will be reviewing our forecasts in the coming days."
The firm currently projects the S&P 500 will finish the year at 1600, down 5.1% from Wednesday's close of 1685.94. Capital Economics had been even more bearish at the end of last year, when it expected the stock index would finish at 1500 by the end of 2013.
By comparison Wall Street strategists, on average, expect the S&P 500 will finish the year at 1658, according to the 13 leading firms tracked by research firm Birinyi Associates.
Capital Economics isn't the only skeptic that has changed course. Wall Street firms ranging from Morgan Stanley to Deutsche Bank to Goldman Sachs have all offered sunnier forecasts in recent months amid a relentless rally that has shown few signs of running out of steam. The S&P 500 is up 18% this year, including a 5% rally this month that erased the taper-tantrum declines in May and June. The index came within spitting distance of hitting 1700 earlier this week before slipping a bit.
The conversion of all these cynics has occurred despite sluggish fundamentals. More than 1/3 of the way through earnings season, corporate profit growth is ringing in at about 4%, according to Thomson Reuters, on pace for a third straight quarter of subpar growth. Revenue growth is even worse, coming in at 1.6%.
The economy also continues to putter along at a sluggish rate, which most economists estimate will continue at least through the rest of the year. GDP growth is expected to hover around 2% for the year, not enough to push the unemployment rate lower at a rapid clip.
While Capital Economics' views are less sour than they used to be, the firm shouldn't be mistaken for a raging bull anytime soon. It worries that profit margins may be peaking and fails to see why continued reassurances from central-bank officials about easy-money policies would fuel an even bigger rally.
"We are skeptical that the stock market will be able to make further substantial gains from current levels even as the Fed treads carefully and the recovery gains traction," the analysts wrote.
But as the dog days of summer continue and if the rally remains intact, don't be surprised if more bears start changing their tunes.

Facebook is likely to be in the spotlight on Thursday after the social-media company reported quarterly results that significantly exceeded expectations. After Wednesday's closing bell, Facebook said it swung to a profit of $333 million, or 13 cents a share, in the second quarter, recovering from a loss of $157 million, or 8 cents a share, in the year-earlier period.
Revenue rose to $1.81 billion from $1.12 billion, and adjusted profit was 19 cents a share. Analysts had forecast a profit of 14 cents a share, on revenue of $1.62 billion, according to a FactSet survey. Shares of Facebook surged more than 18% in after-hours trading.
Shares in Qualcommalso got a strong boost after hours, gaining more than 3%. The company late Wednesday reported its third-quarter profit rose to $1.58 billion, or 90 cents a share, from $1.2 billion, or 69 cents a share, a year ago. Adjusted earnings came in at $1.03 a share. Analysts had estimated adjusted earnings of 91 cents a share.
There are more big earnings scheduled for Thursday, including those of General Motors, Amazon and Starbucks.

Proposition 37, which would have required labeling of genetically modified foods, was soundly defeated Tuesday.
The measure trailed 53 percent to 47 percent with more than 98 percent of the vote counted as of 6:00 a.m Wednesday.
Proposition 37 advocates relied on social media and a strong grass-roots campaign in hopes of making California the first state in the nation to require a "genetically modified" label on a host of food products, from breakfast cereals to tofu.
But supporters were outgunned by a highly organized "no" campaign, which poured $46 million into defeating Proposition 37 and blanketed the state with advertising.
The yes campaign raised $9.2 million, with the largest contribution coming from Joseph Mercola, a popular holistic health activist from Illinois.
The no side raised $46 million and spent nearly $27 million on radio, television and Internet advertising across the state. St. Louis-based Monsanto, a leading maker of genetically engineered seeds, was the largest single contributor with $8.1 million.
"Well, friends, it looks like Monsanto has done it again. Lied, cheated, deceived and hoodwinked enough of the electorate to pull the rug out from under us," read a long post on the Yes on Prop on 37 campaign's Facebook page. "We'll need to pick ourselves up and shake the dust off and keep moving forward."
The battle over Proposition 37 was an unusually high-profile fight because it pitted businesses against businesses. Big natural-food companies, celebrity chefs and several organic farmers were on one side, while a variety of traditional farmers and chemical, seed and processed-food firms were on the other.
The No on 37 campaign argued that the measure was "flawed and misguided," messaging that appeared to work.
"California family farmers can breathe a little easier today," said Jamie Johansson, an Oroville farmer who grows olives and makes olive oil and was active in the No on 37 campaign. "Prop. 37 would have imposed costly new regulations on California family farmers that no other state requires, putting us at a competitive disadvantage. Thankfully voters understood this and rejected Prop. 37 and voted instead to protect family farmers."

This is a great product, as a brand buyer, I have had received a few samples and just had put them all away with the other ones until I decided to do a three week trial. And am amazed. Already bought for my dear friends and family beauty girls. This is a splurge that should be respected. Unlike any other mask. And I can attest being European and using all kinds of renowned products. Do not compare with drugatore clay masks. Don't be silly, this is a high grade product. I only wish theynhad a 5 oz jar. Five stars product. Buy with no fear. If you are over thirdy , do it only once a week . I like it at nightime. Amazing stuff.

Comments about GlamGlow YOUTHMUD Tinglexfoliate Treatment, 1.7 oz:
I originally saw this on "A Model Recommends" website, who I've come to trust many of her recommendations, GlamGlow being one of them. My first thought after I spread this on my face was "it burns! it burns!" Very melodramatic. However, after the first minute or two, it stopped burning and started drying with a rather nice cooling affect. The grainy-ness of the volcanic stone was noticeable when I was washing the mask off, but I consider that a benefit, as it is also labeled an exfoliant. The results? AMAZING. I have paid good money in the past for products that while might have had all the right ingredients, didn't have the right ingredients for MY skin. This product not only made my skin feel good, there was a noticeably instant radiant, supple and tight effect. The noticeable results lasted for about two days, with some benefits lingering for 4-5. The results from one application did more good to my skin than some facials I've had in the past. If you're on the fence, my advice is to try to get a sample, or buy on discount somewhere, but definitely try it at least once! Will definitely repurchase.

VINCENT - Entering Wednesday night, the seniors on the Warren High girls basketball team had never beaten Marietta.
That no longer holds true, as the Lady Warriors claimed a 44-37 victory over the Lady Tigers at Warrior Coliseum Wednesday night.
"It was just a good win, period, for us," said Warren head coach Amy Colgrove. "This is just a good win to get our confidence going into tournament and for the big games coming up."

JORDAN HOLLAND The Marietta Times
Warren's Amy Fleming (22) looks to pass as Marietta's Erica Dawson, right defends during prep girls' basketball action in Vincent Wednesday night. Warren won 44-37.
It was all about defense early on, as Warren held Marietta to two points in the first quarter. The Lady Tigers were still in it, however, as they held the Lady Warriors to just seven points.
Jordanna Rauch opened the scoring with a layup, which was the only basket of the quarter until the 2:17 mark when Kaitlyn Cozzens hit a layup for Marietta. Mackenzie Ullman hit a free-throw in between jumpers from Emma Ryan and Amy Fleming to put Warren up 7-2 at the end of one.
Points were a little easier to come by in the second quarter. Erica Dawson opened it up with a pair of free throws to make it 7-4.

Dawson, who had missed the past couple weeks with a wrist injury, was unexpectedly cleared to play before the contest. Although Dawson appeared to be rusty, she was able to lead the team in scoring with 24 points.
"The kids found out Erica was coming back right before warmups," said Marietta head coach Scott Cozzens. "After not playing with her for two or three weeks, she had to get her legs back and they've got to get used to doing stuff."
"It was (Dawson's) first game back and I thought we did a good job on her," Colgrove said. "She hit some pretty good shots, but I thought our defense played pretty well."
Up 7-4, Rauch hit a corner 3 to spark a 13-0 run, during which Victoria Buzzard hit seven free throws to stretch the lead to 20-4. Dawson stopped the bleeding momentarily with a 3-pointer and a 2-point jumper before Rauch and Kendra Lynch each hit a free throw to make the score 22-9. Starr Johnson scored a putback layup and Dawson hit two foul shots to close out the half with Warren up 22-13.
It was a half both teams likely want to forget, offensively. Marietta shot 4-of-21 (19 percent) while Warren was 5-of-19 (26 percent) from the field.
Rauch opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, but Dawson quickly responded with a mid-range jumper to make it 25-15. The Lady Warriors then went on a 9-0 run paced by three points from Lynch and two points each from Ryan, Ullman and Rauch.
Taylor Smith converted a three-point play to cut it to 34-18, but Warren would maintain a 16-point lead to go into the final quarter up 40-24.
Dawson hit a 3-ball to open the fourth but was quickly countered by a 3-pointer from Ullman.
Marietta would not go away, getting a putback layup from Lexi Walsh followed by consecutive baskets from Dawson to cut it to 43-33. Ullman then hit a free throw to extend the lead to 11. Dawson scored four straight points to cut the deficit to 44-37, but the Tigers could get no closer.
"I thought the Warren kids played well," Cozzens said.
"They played hard. It had been a long time since they had beaten us. Give them a lot of credit."
Rauch led Warren with 14 points and eight rebounds in the game. She is one of five seniors on the team who had never beaten Marietta.
"It's huge," Rauch said. "I was really excited.
"We've lost a couple games that we should've won that kind of brought us down, but this is definitely getting us back up to where we need to be."
The win improved Warren's record to 11-7, while the loss dropped Marietta to the same mark.
Both teams are back in action Saturday, with Marietta hosting Dover and Warren on the road to play Chillicothe.

A Los Angeles jury says a former model on "The Price is Right" was discriminated against by producers because of her pregnancy. The Superior Court jury awarded $776,944 to Brandi Cochran on Tuesday after deliberations that began last week. City News Service reports that a second phase of the trial will determine whether Cochran should be awarded punitive damages. The 41-year-old Cochran is a former Miss USA. She claimed she was rejected by producers when she tried to rejoin "The Price is Right" in 2010 after taking maternity leave. Fremantle Media North America, one of the producers named in the suit, blamed the verdict on a "flawed process." It says that key evidence was excluded by the court.

Lauderdale County residents can expect to see an increase in their school taxes, but not in their ad valorem taxes for 2013. The Board was presented with the Lauderdale County Schools' budget and there is a $600,000 increase in the budget from this year, meaning that taxes must go up to meet the need.
Board President and District 4 Supervisor Joe Norwood says it is the job of the Board to provide the funds for the county schools. "We have to accept the school system budget. By law, the Board of Supervisors has to levy the taxes to collect the money for the school system. For example, the school system is asking us for $11 million this year. It is the responsibility of the Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors to levy the tax to allow the school system to operate, and we have no say so on that. We have to accept that."
The millage rate is going up 3.23 mills, or to about $32 more dollars per year for a house valued at $100,000.
Norwood explains, "Well, they tell us the amount of money we need, and what we have to do by law is make sure we set the millage rate to collect that amount of money. So, I think 55 mills is the cap, and they're right at 54 right now, so that's just the way that works."
If the Board of Supervisors does not approve the budget, residents will still end up paying the requested amount.
"If we did not follow that, and there have been some cases in the state of Mississippi where Boards of Supervisors did not, all the school system can do is go out and borrow the money, and then you still have to go back and pay that money," says Norwood.
A public hearing will be held on Monday, September 10th at 5:30 in the boardroom of the County Annex Building to discuss both the county and school budgets. The budgets will most likely go for a vote before the Supervisors next Friday.

Six minutes from now, one of us would be dead. That was our fate. None of us knew it was coming."
So writes Wes, a young Presidential aide, about the day that changed his life forever. It was on that July 4th day that Wes put the President's oldest friend into the Presidential limousine; by the time the trip came to an end, the friend was dead, the victim of a crazed assassin, and Wes was permanently disfigured by a bullet taken in the face.
"Because of me, Ron Boyle died. Eight years later, he came back to life."
Trying to figure out what really happened on the worst day of his life will lead Wes on a chase that takes him back to that long-ago July 4th, back to a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, back to ancient Masonic symbols hidden in the street plan of Washington, DC, and even back to a two-hundred year old secret code invented by Thomas Jefferson. Employing his mastery of Presidential lore and powerful secrets, and expanding to the glittering world of Palm Beach high society and its seedy fringes, Meltzer has crafted his fastest and boldest thriller yet.
The Book of Fate. What does it say about you?
Video Gallery
New Trailers and Interviews
Brad Answers All
Q. The Book Of Fate Begins With A Bang. What Inspired Your New Thriller?
To me, each novel is first about the character, then the plot. So The Book of Fate began with my own sense of frustration from feeling like I was about to rewrite a character I'd already written many times before. That's what terrifies me most as a writer – being one of those novelists who just starts churning it out.
At the same time, my father was diagnosed with cancer – and in the surgery that saved his life, he received an unavoidable scar that now marks his entire forehead. That's when the light bulb blinked.
I just remember thinking: instead of writing yet another thriller with yet another young perfect hero, what if I took that hero, shattered and broke him in chapter one, and then tried to see if that shattered character could do the same things that his former self did so easily? I wasn't sure of the answer, so that's what excited me as a writer. At the same time, I received a letter from former President Bush saying that he liked one of the novels. It's a fun letter to get. And it put me on my current obsession with studying former presidents. The loss of power is fascinating. So maybe in the end, it was all just fate.
Q. Can You Give Me A Thumbnail Sketch Of The Book In Your Own Words?
The one sentence on the back of the book will probably say something sexy like: Wes Holloway is a young Presidential aide who helplessly watches as fellow aide Ron Boyle is killed in an assassination attempt—but eight years later, Wes learns that his so-called friend Boyle is actually alive. I'm sure there'll be lots of exclamation points in there—and words like gripping and stunning and brilliant. And for sure they'll mention the decade-old Presidential crossword puzzle and the two-hundred year old code created by Thomas Jefferson.
But I think The Book of Fate is actually about the loss of power and the struggles we all have when we think we haven't reached our personal potential. Wes, the President, Lisbeth, Rogo, Dreidel, the Three, even Nico – all of them have fallen short from what they'd planned. And The Book of Fate grapples with each of their personal theories for why that's happened: that it's an accident, that it's someone else's fault, that it's the circumstances of the moment, that it's their own fault, and of course—the one all of us in America love to reach for—that it's fate.
All books are a reflection of the time they're written in. And The Book of Fate is, to me, a reflection of our current world: a world where we all search for heroes—and especially after 9/11—where we realize that the super-perfect-idealized hero doesn't really exist anymore. In WWII, we were a country of supermen. Now we're a country of spider-men: people who want to save the day and do it all perfectly, even though we realize we're all a bit scared and terrified like teenagers inside.
Q. You've Obviously Gotten Some Unusual Access To Former Presidents George H.W. Bush And Bill Clinton. How Did That Come About And What Has It Contributed To The Book?
It came from a simple letter I got in the mail from former President Bush. He wrote to say he liked one of the novels—and then put up with me when I asked if I could come out there to see what life was like. As for former President Clinton, I'd met him when The Tenth Justice was published, so was happy when he signed off on me visiting his staff in Harlem. As for what the visits gave me, it gave me every one of the true details in the book that makes you think "that's exactly how it is."
Because that's exactly how it is (though the book is all fiction!). My favorite was former Presidents being required to plan their own funerals right when they leave office (what a nice was to say thanks).
Q. What Are Some Of The Interesting Things You've Learned About The Life Of Presidents And Former Presidents?
How absolute the loss of power is. Clinton said it best—when you leave office, "you lose your power but not your influence." But man, you lose your power. For me, though, the one thing that amazed me was how little we actually use our former presidents. Only recently—with the tsunami and Katrina relief—have we called upon these great men for service. They ran the entire country—and yes, they've earned the rest if they want it—but for the most part, we send them on their way and treat them like second cousins, only calling them on anniversaries and birthdays.
As for what else I learned, my favorite details are in the book: from how some presidents race to get their morning briefings as their last tie to power, to how others miss the spotlight so much, they travel abroad because that's when they get briefed by the CIA. It's a subculture shared by four men. Current Bush will soon make it five. It's the greatest most elite club in the world.
Q. How Does Wes Holloway Compare To The Heroes Of Your Previous Novels?
I hope Wes is the homonym to my other characters: he sounds and is spelled the same, but he has an entirely different meaning. Of all my characters, I think I feel the most for Wes—especially because of his link to my own father. And let's be honest, every one of my books is really about my father.
Q. You Seem To Be Diversifying Away From Your Earlier Legal-Based Thrillers. Did You Make A Conscious Decision To Aim For A Larger Market With The Book Of Fate?
It's odd—when The Tenth Justice came out, I never thought of myself as a legal thriller writer. But the publishers and press liked that box, and they thought it would sell books, and I was 27 years old, so I was more than happy to go along with it.
But the books I've written have always been designed to transport readers into a world they couldn't go otherwise, from the Supreme Court, to the White House, to the Capitol, to prestigious private banks, to the world of former presidents and secrets about our founding fathers and the Masons. The books are always steeped in historical research, not law—and I've proudly never written a true courtroom scene. I was a history major and I'll always be a history major. So to me, I'm doing what I always do—simply writing about worlds that fascinate me.

Dr. Petranka Nedelcheva-Megalla during her Lecture at The Field Museum
On February 27, Dr. Petranka Nedelcheva-Megalla, the 2013-14 ABF Archaeological Program Postdoctoral Fellow presented a lecture at The Field Museum about her work on the lithic collections from the Aegean. This talk was part of a lunchtime lecture series which goal is to familiarize museum staff with the research activities of postdoctoral fellows in the department of Science and Education.
The title of Dr. Nedelcheva-Megalla's lecture was "Lithic Production and Exchange in the South Balkans, North Aegean and North Western Anatolia during the Late Prehistory". She used her experience from the excavations she participated in – in Drama, (Bulgaria), Pietrele (Romania), Aruchio (Georgia), Troy (Turkey) and many others – to explain the circulation of lithic artefacts between different prehistoric population groups in the area.
Dr. Nedelcheva -Megalla presented the ways in which the distribution of 'know-how' was carried out through participation in extensive exchange during the Late Prehistory. Dr. Nedelcheva-Megalla explained how the knowledge concerning the production of lithic tools was transferred, adopted or avoided across the different regions around the Aegean. She made interesting comparisons between the different features of the chipped stone assemblages, such as raw material procurement, technology and morphology of the retouched implements.
The lecture was followed by a lively conversation, during which such themes as the history of the Balkans and its specific place in the context of broader archaeological and anthropological research were discussed. Dr. Nedelcheva-Megalla's presentation reinforced why Bulgaria and the Balkan region deserve the international scientific community's attention. Petranka reaffirmed her position as one of the most interesting and promising young scientists at The Field Museum at the present moment.

- The bitterness in her voice was clear, because, as one of the National Party's centrists, she knows that this is a good policy.
- Example sentences
- These efforts are often touted as examples of the breakthroughs that can be achieved in a deliberative democratic context, by respecting local knowledge and promoting solutions that represent a new 'radical centrism.'
- His centrism makes it hard for him to ignite the party's base, but that same positioning could be a big general election plus, something victory-starved Democrats covet.
- There are other ways to look at this, and it's true that none are a resounding victory for the far left, but it was a triumph for centrism and moderation.

It was clear beforehand, that the owner, even if with great reservation, would allow the television into the pub [...] / On the other hand the meeting with you was a closed meeting. Let's imagine there had been somebody in the hall, or had arrived, from the authorities. Then he would have been able, with the appropriate order in his pocket, to immediately dissolve the meeting if the television had been in the hall from the start or it had been recognisable that they would have come in. In judicial German it would have then 'been produced for the public' and a closed, private meeting would have become a public one and that one would have certainly banned. Therefore also the evasion in the last ten minutes. / To explain all of this to you would have been too long-winded in Harburg.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Irish Breakfast
Irish breakfast is rich and strong black tea from Assam in northern India. A popular breakfast tea, it yields a complex cup with malty, floral and sweet flavors. Irish breakfast is perfect plain but also delicious with a splash of milk. The Irish drink more tea per capita than almost anyone in the world, so join in and enjoy a cup.
Black tea
Medium leaves and golden buds
Pungent and red wine-like nose
Dark brown liquor
Rich and complex body with sweet, malty finish
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded teaspoon of loose tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Assam, India
Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by combating harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
A great self-drinking tea, but strong enough to for milk and sugar. Drink instead of coffee to revitalize and refresh in the morning. Coffee drinkers will be lured by the intense flavor and thick body.
Pairs well with a continental breakfast including cereal, fruit and toast. Serve alongside meat or poultry. On a sweeter note, try drinking with dark chocolate and related desserts.

A change in the company that processes Oregon Department of Revenue's electronic payments could cause some taxpayers to miss payments due in January, the agency has announced.
The department's contract with Georgia-based Official Payments will expire Jan. 3. The new vendor, chosen earlier this year through a competitive bidding process, is Kentucky-based Value Payment Systems.
The agency is sending letters to more than 3,000 taxpayers who use Official Payments, notifying them of the change and urging them to switch to another electronic payment service or alternate payment method. Taxpayers who recently established a payment plan through Official Payments likely won't get the written notice and are at risk of missing a payment, revenue department officials said in a news release.
People use electronic payments to pay personal income taxes, tobacco taxes, and withholding and transit taxes. Other options for payment include credit or debit cards, or electronic funds transfers from checking or savings accounts. Revenue's payment options for taxpayers are listed at www.oregon.gov/dor/payments.
Taxpayers who are concerned about their payment plan or who have questions about any correspondence they receive from the Department of Revenue should contact the agency at 503-378-4988 or 1-800-356-4222.

AFL-CIO Chief Says Health-Law Delay Troubling
The head of the nation's largest federation of unions said the Obama administration's delay in employer health-law penalties is "troubling" –and he hopes the administration will be as accommodating to concerns unions have raised about the law.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka made the remarks in a statement released on Wednesday, in the latest example of organized-labor's frustration with how the Affordable Care Act they supported is unfolding.
The Obama administration said Tuesday it would delay enforcing a provision of the new health-care law that requires large employers to provide coverage for workers or pay a penalty in 2014, the biggest revision so far to the federal health-care overhaul. The 2010 law requires companies with the equivalent of 50 or more full-time workers to offer health benefits starting Jan. 1—or pay a penalty of at least $2,000 per employee. The delay means that penalty won't take effect until 2015.
In his statement, Mr. Trumka said labor "fought to ensure employers have a responsibility to provide affordable, comprehensive health benefits to their workers and their families." While the health law's penalty provision fell short of what labor wanted, it was designed to give big companies an incentive to offer solid coverage to some employees, said Mr. Trumka. The delay is "troubling" because it removes that incentive for next year, he said.
Mr. Trumka also used news of the delay to make clear that unions expect the administration to likewise accommodate some of their concerns about the law.
Union leaders have complained that that many of the law's requirements will drive up costs for union-sponsored health-care plans, making unionized workers less competitive. These plans, known as "multiemployer" plans and used mostly by small companies, are jointly managed by unions and employers and cover some 20 million Americans. To offset the expected rising costs of the plans, the nation's largest labor groups want their lower-paid members to be able to remain on the plans while also getting access to federal insurance subsidies to be provided under the law. The problem with that request: In the law, these subsidies were designed only for low-income workers who don't have employer coverage, and were meant as a way to help them buy private insurance.
Several large labor groups have pressed the administration on the matter since at least early this year. In early talks, the Obama administration dismissed the idea of applying the subsidies to people in union-sponsored plans, according to officials from the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans, a trade group that represents these insurance plans. Contacted for an article The Wall Street Journal published in late January, Obama administration officials said the issue was subject to regulations still being written.
Since then, the labor groups don't appear to have received any clarity on their request. In May, a labor union that represents roofers called for repeal of the health law because of its concerns about rising costs for insuring members.
And in May, Joe Hansen, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, wrote an op-ed in The Hill publication saying the Obama administration had not cooperated with the request, citing legal hurdles. Mr. Hansen Wednesday called the delay "disconcerting" and "a significant hand-out to employers." But he said the administration's openness to "changing the rules" is encouraging to labor as it voices its own concerns.
Mr. Trumka's remarks Wednesday likewise suggest unions don't plan to back down on an issue they have warned could result in unionized employers dropping multiemployer plan coverage.
"There are a number of areas in which we have asked that the ACA be interpreted to strengthen the delivery of benefits through employment-based plans. We hope the Administration will address these concerns just as they have the concerns voiced by employers," he said.
At least one union official was less provoked by the delay for employers. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, said the delay "does not change the intent or the spirit" of the law and "gives employers more time to update their health-care coverage and implement the law properly."

Health Food Store Guidance
- By Pip Taylor
- Published Mar 11, 2015
I've heard that not all "health foods" are created equal. Any advice for navigating the health food aisle?
Product marketing can be sneaky and persuasive—with some carefully placed words (i.e. "organic" anything), it's easy to be tricked into believing that the snack you are enjoying is healthy when in fact it is loaded with sugar and calories. Here are foods for which you should be extra vigilant in reading those ingredient labels:
Yogurt: In its essence a healthy, fermented natural food, yogurt seems to have crossed the line into dessert. The yogurt category is full of sugar-laden and artificially flavored products that bear no resemblance to the natural yogurts filled with healthy-gut-promoting probiotics. Look for plain, unflavored, unsweetened yogurts containing live active bacteria cultures. If it's fruit-flavored, make sure it actually contains real fruit.

Arlington, Va. -- Representatives from a diverse group of industries and organizations joined today to discuss the successes and upcoming challenges of NextGen, the FAA's initiative to modernize the nation's air transportation system, and to warn in this last day of the fiscal year about sequestration budget cuts that threaten to impede NextGen's progress.
"If we don't keep moving forward on modernization with adequate funding for new technologies and capabilities our nation's air transportation system will be overcome by growing demand," said Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Marion C. Blakey in a panel discussion. Blakey added, "NextGen is a whole package—a system of systems approach. Piecemeal technological add-ons will not lead to the dramatic safety and efficiency gains NextGen promises."
Providing the perspective of the airline industry, Captain Don Dillman, Airlines for America's Managing Director of Flight Operations said, "Accelerated deployment of NextGen policies and procedures will modernize the U.S. aviation industry and make air travel even more efficient for passengers and shippers."
Active pilot Scott Rosenberg, who flies for Alaska Airlines, spoke about NextGen satellite-based navigation arrival procedures into the Seattle-Tacoma International airport which promise to cut fuel consumption by 2.1 million gallons annually, and reduce carbon emissions by 22,000 metric tons. "NextGen, particularly the 'Greener Skies Over Seattle' initiative, has been a win-win for the community, the environment, the traveling public, the airlines and the FAA," said Rosenberg. "The NextGen program has the potential to provide the largest aviation safety value of any project in recent history.
Representing the viewpoint of travelers, Michael McCormick, Executive Director and COO of the Global Business Travel Association remarked, "America's businesses send their employees on more than seven million flights each month. Efficient, safe air travel enables invaluable face-to-face meetings with clients and partners, ensuring businesses can compete effectively in the global marketplace. NextGen is essential to reduce flight delays and system slowdowns that disrupt air travel and business opportunities, and slow economic growth."
Also speaking at the event was Deron Lovaas, Director of the Federal Transportation Policy, Energy and Transportation Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, representing environmental interests. Reductions in CO2 emissions from new technologies like NextGen and commercially viable biofuels will substantially reduce aviation's carbon footprint and impact on the environment.
At the event, AIA released a new report on NextGen, which details recent program successes and addresses obstacles that stand in the way of additional NextGen progress. The report can be accessed at: http://aia-aerospace2.matrixredesign.net/economics/reports_white_papers/.

Professional Experience
I served on the faculty of the Department of History at Kalamazoo College for 44 years. There I taught courses in the Western Middle Ages, Classical Antiquity , and Early Modern history. After retiring from full-time teaching at Kalamazoo College in 2010, I received an appointment as Adjunct Professor of History at Western to teach in the new Monastic Studies Graduate Certificate Program, specializing in early medieval monasticism. (I am also a member of the faculty of The Medieval Institute at Western.)
My research for several decades has focused on monastic life and institutions, including the Humiliati, the Carthusians and Cistercians. However, for several years, my main projects have involved early medieval Benedictine life. Much of my research in that area has focused on the late Carolingian cult of St. Maurus of Glanfeuil, the first known disciple of St. Benedict both in its Carolingian origins and its evolution during the 11th and 12th century into a Europe-wide cult.

Stim-Free Pre-Workout Amplifier
Push10 is a next-generation strength and performance supplement that works immediately to help you perform your best during your toughest workouts or sport-specific training programs. Push10 is unlike anything you have ever tried -- it represents a new scientific development in the creation of an advanced muscle-performance formula that delivers incredible strength gains on your very first dose.*
Immediate 10.5% Increase In Strength
In a human study conducted at the University of Florida, subjects experienced first-dose strength gains (increased total work performance) at 0, 5, and 15 minutes when they took the Gakic® supplement, a core component in Push10™ versus using a placebo by 12, 9, and 11%, respectively – an average strength increase of 10.5%!*
Increase Muscle Endurance By 21%
In the same study, subjects also improved fatigue resistance, increasing muscle performance (force) at 0, 5, and 15 minutes by 28%, 21%, and 14% more than when subjects used a placebo – an incredible average increase of 21%!*
Researchers suggest that one of the mechanisms likely responsible for the performance-enhancing effects of the Gakic supplement in Push10 is the removal of the fatigue-inducing waste product ammonia, which generally limits muscular power output. By increasing ammonia removal, athletes can perform more muscle work.*
Scientifically Researched Beta-Alanine
A 3200mg dose of beta-alanine also has been added to the Push10™ formula. Beta-Alanine has been extensively studied and shown to increase training performance. Most other pre-workout formulas deliver a questionable dose of this ingredient hidden in a proprietary blend.
Superior Non-Stimulant-Based Pre-Workout Amplifier
For anyone that wants to push their performance to the max without creatine or stimulants, Push10™ is an advanced strength- and endurance-enhancing product that works on your very first dose.* Push10™ can also be virtually stacked with any other product in your supplement arsenal, making it the ultimate pre-workout formula.
Best-in Class Taste
Puch10 was flavored by one of the world's top flavoring houses by flavoring experts in order to taste better than any other pre-workout on the market.

Precarious Balancing Act
In theory, K is not even supposed be running around off leash. However, we've decided that, given the deadliness of this disease, K should live with joy and playfulness for her time on this Earth. So, I let her run this morning despite my qualms.
Despite my difficulties with the balancing act, I think that K had a fabulous day. I haven't seen her so happy and puppy-like in a long time! We savored a sunset together and hiked home knowing that we'd made the most of the day.

It's got to take a lot of strength to keep balancing like that. You again show your strength, KB. And K looks absolutely joyous. I know that if she understood the decisions you're making for her, she'd thank you.
I love love the gleam in K's eye that you captured in the first photo!
- January 17, 2012 at 7:07 PM
- GOOSE said...
I just love the photo of K and R with the stick. It reminds me of me and Bert when we have a stick. KB I think you are doing amazingly well with the balancing. And I know K is so happy with how you are caring for her, it shows.
Big hug for K and you too.

What a fine line you must be walking. It must be heart wrenching on a daily basis to have to make these decisions for K and her happiness. Well, she did have another happy day with you and you got to watch the sunset together once more. You are making the only choices you know how for K, as you know her inside and out. You know what makes her happy and what is best for her and you are doing one heck of a job balancing the two. Give your self a break and pat yourself on the back and keep enjoying every moment with her!

- ♥♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥♥ said...
Yes, indeed. It must be so hard to let her enjoy herself and still not get hurt. Is there any sort of brace support she could wear on that leg? It would probably slow her down a bit. Reminds me a lot of Dakota when I knew how sick she was and yet she still wanted to be able to go with the rest of the pack. You ARE doing a great job of balancing things.

Every time I take Jamie for a walk, (Just the two of us now) It is a given, that she will have a seizure. But like you, I know she lives for these walks, this one on one time with me, the joy she gets from smelling every bit of news that went on before her.
I expect the seizure, she has the seizure, but then she rouses herself out of it and off we go again.
She is living life the way she wants to and I have to respect that. You and K have taught me that and Jamie thanks you.

Such a hard decision. I still struggle with it with Zephyr. I worry he'll get hurt if he over does it, he'll over do it and somehow it will trigger a seizure, or at worst something will trigger the encephalitis. At the same time the thing that makes me happiest is to see him so happy. I bet you and K will find a good balance of it. I love the first picture, It looks like she's getting ready to get spunky. :-)

One of your most glorious sunset! Those clouds! K deserves a bit of play - it must be difficult - I would worry , too. But K isn't worrying and that's good.

- Jo's World said...
Do you know what you would do if she would suffer a break while playing? How you would get her home again? Yes, I am one of those kinds of worriers. I love seeing her play with R, and having a good time. She deserves this fun.

I see in your photographs a well loved dog, enjoying her day despite the new hardships cast on her. I understand the balancing act; we often have to make those choices for Kodee. K will let you know - trust her to tell you if an activity is too much.

Lovely pics from your hike with K. She´s happy and seems not to have any problems just now. Thats wonderful to see. One of my dogs must have stomach problems. Two days in a row somebody vomit at the floor. I dont know who?? They eat and seems not to have any problems, but it´s not ok...

- Chester said...
Even if that yelp someday turns into something major like a broken bone I hope that you will still feel you're making the right decision to let her enjoy her days. Obviously she would be miserable not getting out to play and romp which if you think about it from a different angle, it would actually be prolonging the misery she may have down the road.

I think you're doing great with the balancing act, and we all have to do that to a degree. Part of being a responsible guardian is telling them no sometimes. It might not be the best part, but it's a very necessary part! I think K is doing great finding her bliss, too. I have to say that I broke out in goosebumps looking at that ice on her belly, though! Brrrr!

KB, I think you are doing the right thing by allowing K to live life and enjoy her days. It is her life and she is obviously enjoying it to the fullest. Our great dane Oscar had the dreaded bone cancer too in a front leg and we left him to do as he pleased and yes sometimes it hurt to see him hopping along but he was just so full of happiness we couldn't stop him.
You are doing a fabulous job in a horrible situation. Keep strong for K. We are right behind you in this journey. Love Carol

I just read through some of your recent posts-we're so very sorry to hear that your beautiful K has cancer. Last tiome we checked in, you were waiting over the holiday to get her tumor checked.
We think you're doing the right thing by letting her run and play like all dogs should, although we realize that it is indeed, a balancing act.
K is so beautiful and full of life-we hope and pray that she remains that way for many more years to come.
And you are one heck of a photographer-your work is stunning. Thanks so much for sharing both your dogs and your photography with us!

"In the early phases when we don't know the infectious agent, we do a lot of things, probably overkill," Decastro said.
Education is the best precaution. Medical experts said be cautious but don't panic.
"We don't know everything there is to know about disease, so we are definitely erring on the side of caution," Decastro said.
The symptoms of SARS are much like the flu. You'll see a fever greater than 100.5°. You may experience chills, headache and body fatigue. You'll also notice shortness of breath, and after two to seven days a cough may develop. But the most important thing:
"This person must have also traveled within the past 10 days to areas like China,
Hanoi, Vietnam, Singapore where we know we have documented cases of SARS," Decastro said.
And of course if you've had any contact with someone who has been diagnosed with SARS, doctors said monitor your health and be aware of the symptoms. .
