Portrait d'une Femme
by Ezra Pound
Analysis: Sound Check
"Portrait d'une Femme" is filled with miscellaneous objects and experiences that the speaker associates with the woman, a "sea-hoard of deciduous things" (25). This phrase perfectly exemplifies the poem's overall sound, which we would characterize as the sound of seawater sweeping across a sandy beach.
Words with smooth consonants, especially "s" and "l," dominate the poem, which creates a rhythmic swish throughout the lines. You can hear this really strongly in the lines "Ideas, old gossip, oddments of all things" (4) and "In the slow float of differing light and deep" (27). The rotation of unstressed and stressed syllables in the iambic pentameter lines adds to this effect.
If we move from the seashore to an indoor location, where the speaker might be sitting with the woman, we can imagine the speaker's voice as a meditative whisper floating through a dark, candlelit room, accompanied by the repetitive flickering of the candles' flames.

A Win-Win Move For Leafs
Tuesday, 11.1.2011 / 5:33 PM ET / Mike Ulmer's Blog
By Mike Ulmer - Mapleleafs.com commentator
Matt Frattin, welcome to the American Hockey League.
For the next two weeks, you will be on the bus.
You will play, Dallas Eakins willing, seven games in 15 days. You will see San Antonio, Houston, Austin and Oklahoma City. There will be infinitely less glamorous, Adirondack, New York, and Rochester.
Frattin was sent down Tuesday by the Leafs who swapped him even up for Joey Crabb. The 28-year-old Crabb more than earned his ticket to the big team with seven goals and eight assists, good for third in AHL scoring. Crabb provided the experience used by Joe Colborne to springboard to the top of the AHL scoring race and regain his status as one of the organization's brightest prospects.
The move gives Eakins the choice of putting the team's three most arresting future Leafs on one line with Colborne in the middle and Nazem Kadri and Frattin on either side.
Frattin has seen his ice time eroded from 16:17 on opening night to 9:52 against Ottawa. Other than not scoring, his game has been commendable. At 23 after nearly four full seasons playing Division I hockey at the University of North Dakota, Frattin brings a solid game based on strong skating, a solid stance with the puck, a hard shot and an excellent sense for the game. Frattin will score: he led NCAA Division I players in goals last year. He figures to be a Leaf for years to come.
It's just that he hasn't been able to score in 11 games and rather than make his season about not scoring, the Leafs have given him the chance to break his slide out of the spotlight.
But there is another reason why the move bears watching.
Sending Frattin down seals his place on the bus for the Marlies' most grueling road trip. Every season, the Marlies are evicted from Ricoh Coliseum in favour of the Royal Winter Fair. Frattin will learn the rudiments of the minors – and quickly. Desire has never been an issue with Frattin but for a player whose only pro experience is the NHL, two weeks on the road trip to end all road trips will serve as ample motivation to make it back to Toronto.
Meanwhile, Crabb is justly rewarded for his superior play. Crabb, who scored three goals and added 12 assists in 48 games last season, should bring some offence to the third line. At this juncture, at least, it looks like win-win.

Western Michigan University
1903 W Michigan Ave
Kalamazoo MI 49008-5434 USA
- M.A., English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University
- B.M., Jazz Performance, Eastman School of Music
- B.M., Music Theory, Eastman School of Music
The evidence that Jeremy Siskind is among the top jazz pianists of his generation is quickly becoming overwhelming: at age 26, Siskind is the winner of the Nottingham International Jazz Piano Competition, a second-place finisher in the Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition, a two-time finalist for the American Pianist Association's Cole Porter Fellowship, and a two-time second-place finisher at the Phillips Jazz Competition. Siskind, who was recently named an Assistant Professor of Music in piano and jazz studies at Western Michigan University's School of Music, made a sold-out solo debut at Carnegie Hall in 2012, performing Debussy's "Etudes" in the first half and jazz improvisations in the second half.
As a composer, Siskind has received recognition in the form of ASCAP's Young Jazz Composers Award, Downbeat Magazine's Student Music Award, and has twice traveled to Japan as the American representative in Yamaha's Junior Original Composition competition. A composer and clinician for Hal Leonard, Siskind has published two books, "Jazz Etude Inspirations" - a set of original compositions - and "The Magic of Standards" - intermediate arrangements of favorite jazz classics.
Siskind's 2012 CD release, "Finger-Songwriter," has been hailed as "one of the best albums I've heard all year" by critic Dave Sumner, "one of the most remarkable recordings I've heard in a very long time" by the MinnPost's Pamela Espeland and "the most exciting musical project I've heard in a long time" by Andrea Carter of Jazz Police. It was placed in emusic's top 100 CDs of 2012 in any genre. His 2010 release, "Simple Songs (for When the World Seems Strange)," featuring Ted Poor, Chris Lightcap, and Jo Lawry, was awarded four stars in a review from DownBeat, and appeared on three jazz critics' "Best CDs of 2010" features.
A graduate of the Eastman School of Music (High Honors; degrees in jazz performance and music theory) with a masters from Columbia University (degree in English and comparative literature), Siskind's primary teachers include Fred Hersch, Sophia Rosoff, Tamir Hendelman, Tony Caramia, and Harold Danko.

Goodnight everyone,
from an early age on I have always had this fascination with Titanic which eventually led to building a primitive version of the ship in LEGO and letting it sink in the little pool in the backyard. (Which wasn't that difficult since LEGO isn't waterproof...)
But anyway, my fascination re-ignited this year with the centenary of the sinking, and I have been doing all kinds of stuff for it. (I just got home from watching the movie in 3D, this showing took place almost exactly one hundred years after the disaster so I'm glad to have relived it again at such a special moment.)
As far as music is concerned I have made a cover of 'Nearer my God, to Thee' which you can see here.
And I've made a MOC aswell:
This is my MINI RMS Titanic although she is 28 studs long. I call it MINI scale since this is the smallest scale possible using 1 stud wide chimneys and still respecting the original dimensions.
She took me around 5 days to build, it turned out to be one of my most difficult builds yet and a real puzzle getting the dimensions right, making her aesthetically pleasing and making sure she doesn't fall apart. I have yet to test the finished version, but she'll hold up to display and light play.
The parts to build several versions of this ship are on their way, I'll be using two of them to make larger scenes.
Another shot, showing LDD's limits.
The stern. Those flower parts are the perfect parts for the large propellers.
Some details on top like the lifeboats (even fewer in number here than on the real life version...). All the higher parts have been reproduced as accurate as possible. I've used trans parts for the open hallways you can see on the sides of the ship towards the stern. The chimneys are slightly angled as they should be, and after a lot of doubting it seems yellow is the best colour for them.
This is my night/sinking version. The colours look a bit odd at the moment, but they will look perfect in the right scene.
And this concludes my efforts for the centenary of RMS Titanic's sinking on the 14th-15th of April 1912-2012. When the parts arrive I will add some decent shots, preferably with the scenes aswell.

I grabbed the Woodland Park papers from October Afternoon and used the Green patterned paper as a border around my layout. Then I fussy cut some of the pretty flowers and scattered them below my photos. I love the cute paper clip birds that are included in this Kit and one of them made a perfect embellishment for this layout. I used one of the BoBunny brads to attach the bird to the layout.
So here's a fun little challenge for you...next time you purchase a Kit or themed collection, figure out fun ways to use it outside of the theme. I bet you will be surprised by what you come up with.

Cheap Cheddar Chicken Bake
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr
I call this "cheap" because our supermarket has sales where you buy one package of chicken, you get one free! Sometimes I use a blend of brown rices, including japonica and wehani, but here I used a brown and wild-rice blend. You may have to adjust the cooking times a bit - they're approximate. We thought this was a nice stick-to-your ribs meal!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1.23-2.46 ml white pepper
- 4.92 ml salt
- 1 garlic clove, Grated
- 304.75 g can cheddar cheese soup
- 236.59 ml brown rice
- 118.29 ml wild rice
- 532.32 ml water, Boiled
- 59.14 ml dry sherry
- 453.59 g bag frozen broccoli florets, Thawed
- 2.46 ml nutmeg, Grated
- 236.59 ml shredded sharp cheddar cheese or 236.59 ml monterey jack cheese
- Season chicken breasts with salt & pepper and place in 9 x 13 baking pan.
- Sprinkle dry brown and wild rice around and between chicken breasts.
- Arrange broccoli florets around the chicken.
- Mix soup, boiled water, sherry, garlic and nutmeg in bowl, stirring until blended.
- Pour soup mixture over chicken and broccoli, making sure to cover all the rice in the liquid.
- Cover baking dish with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
- Take baking dish out, remove cover, and place cheese on top.
- Put back in oven and cook for 15 minutes longer, or until the cheese is completely melted.

Hi, Divaconviva! I had printed out a batch of cheese/chicken casseroles and my wife picked this one from the bunch -- I'm glad she did! The sherry and the nutmeg gave the dish just a slight (very nice!) Morroccan ambiance, separating this casserole from all the others and making it anything but boring. The true test results were reflected when my wife made a special point to tell me to make it again soon -- that doesn't happen very often as we usually have very differing tastes on the topic of supper. I hope others are paying attention here because this recipe is a real crowd-pleaser. I did bake it for a few extra minutes before topping it with the cheese (I used the Monterey Jack since the cheddar is in the soup) as I may have added a little more fluid than the recipe called for. But that's the beauty of the recipe... you can make it as thick as you like by this method. The chicken was very tender and the blend of flavors was perfect. Thanks for posting this great one-dish meal! pat
How could something so easy taste so good? I used white sticky rice instead of brown rice, peas and carrots instead of broccoli, doubled the garlic, and I seasoned the chicken with peppered bacon salt. Savory and rich!
This is a great recipe! I needed something simple and savoury that my toddler would eat (and may I add, a fussy toddler!) The chicken bake did the trick! I substituted apple juice for the sherry, and used peas and corn instead of broccoli. I also used jasmine rice. Delicious!

New York Life Insurance Company Leads the Industry as One of America's Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces
For the Seventh Consecutive Year Named One of the Best Workplaces
by Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption
NEW YORK, September 3, 2013—New York Life has been named to the 2013 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List released by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. In addition to ranking No. 1 in its industry for the third year in a row, New York Life has now made this list for the seventh consecutive year.
New York Life's adoption program currently offers up to $10,000 reimbursement of eligible adoption expenses as well as four weeks paid time off for the parent who is the primary caregiver and one week paid parental leave for the secondary caregiver.
"It is vital for adoptive parents to spend time with their children to bond and develop trust," said Rita Soronen, president and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation. "Employers who offer adoption benefits understand the initial needs of adoptive families are no different than families formed biologically. And family-friendly work environments create strong and loyal workforces."
"We are honored to be recognized as one of America's Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces for the seventh consecutive year and we are especially proud to lead our industry in the rankings for the third year in a row," said Maria Mauceri, vice president, benefits, New York Life. "We are in the business of protecting the financial future of families and providing the Adoption Assistance program to our employees illustrates that what we do goes beyond our business and is a natural extension of who we are as a company. We are committed to helping new families have the resources and time they need to build lasting memories."
Every year the Foundation announces America's top 100 adoption-friendly employers, the top 10 by size, and the leaders in each industry from its annual survey of U.S. employers. Rankings are determined by an analysis of a company's adoption benefits, including the maximum amount of financial reimbursement and paid leave for families who adopt. The top 100 are featured in the September issue of Employee Benefit News, a SourceMedia publication that is the leading source of information for benefits decision makers.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a national nonprofit public charity dedicated exclusively to finding permanent homes for the more than 134,000 children waiting in North America's foster care systems. Created by Wendy's® founder Dave Thomas who was adopted, the Foundation implements evidence-based, results-driven national service programs, foster care adoption awareness campaigns and advocacy initiatives.

Cat's Cradle
by Kurt Vonnegut
Cat's Cradle Chapter 70 Summary
Tutored by Bokonon
- Cliffhanger resolved. The dude's Philip Castle. Surprise!
- Philip asks if John's a drug salesman, but John must admit he's only a writer.
- Next best thing then. Philip wants to know if John's ever written anything that could help people "who are dying or in terrible pain" (70.10).
- John suggests he might be able to rework Psalm 23.
- Philip mentions Bokonon, and John wonders if he knows the prophet.
- He sure does. As the chapter title might suggest, Philip and Mona were both tutored by Bokonon.

This is a question I have heard my liberal Christian friends, and my non-Christian friends ask. Why do Christians hate homosexuals? Unfortunately, some Christians give the rest of us a bad reputation. We have the choice to respond to these questions lovingly, rather than defensively, to help people understand and apologize for those who act so poorly on Christ's behalf.
Here is a detailed response regarding homosexuality from our Dean, Dr. Joe Parle. Also, make sure to check out our YouTube channnel, www.Youtube.com/CBSHouston so see the short answer on this question on the CBS Insider. Leave your comments there, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and let us know what questions you have for next week.
Dr. Parle's reeponse:
Calling Good Evil and Evil Good: A Biblical Analysis of Homosexuality
By: Joseph Parle, Ph.D. Academic Dean of the College of Biblical Studies
An old Cherokee once told his grandson, "A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed the most." This story illustrates the fight within the heart of every man. Romans 1:25-27 says, "For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error." Paul portrayed a fight between the truth of God and the passions that war against the truth. He told the Romans that they could either choose to feed their souls with the truth or exchange that truth for a lie. As the Episcopal and Anglican denominations investigate the issue of homosexual priests and states are reviewing sodomy laws, it is critical that every Christian have a biblical perspective on homosexuality. A biblical analysis of this issue will reveal that the Bible considers homosexuality sinful because it is contrary to the created purpose of man and against the will of God.
At the core of this debate is where the authority for defining morality lies. For the Christian, the Bible is the sole authority for establishing morality. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Bible is the breath of God and is a completely reliable source for determining the Christian doctrine as well as for instructing them in righteousness so they might be thoroughly equipped for the Christian life. Following the commandments contained in the Bible is at the very essence of Christianity. Jesus said in John 14:21, "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him." By contrast the Bible never gives man the authority to determine truth for himself. Isaiah 5:20 says, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" Proverbs 21:2-3 says, "Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts. To do righteousness and justice is desired by the LORD more than sacrifice."
Consequently, as one determines how homosexuality weighs on the scale of God's righteousness, a biblical perspective is in order. The Bible consistently says that homosexuality violates the original created order of man. As previously cited, Romans 1:26-27 says that homosexuals have exchanged the natural function for the unnatural which was based on their burning desire for one another which resulted in indecent acts. In the Bible, marriage is a divinely ordered institution designed to form a permanent union between one man and one woman for one purpose (among others) of procreating or propagating the human race. That was God's order in the first of such unions (Gen. 1:27-28; 2:24; Mat. 19:5). If, in His original creation of humans, God had created two persons of the same sex, there would not be a human race in existence today. It should also be noted that the church was to require their leadership to be heterosexual as all bishops were to be the husband of one wife (1 Tim 3:2, Titus 1:6). Thus, the Bible prohibits homosexuals from exercising leadership over a church.
Furthermore, the Bible consistently labels homosexuality as an illicit lust that is forbidden by God. In Genesis 19:5-7 the men of Sodom called to Lot and said, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." In response, Lot said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing." The Bible specifically calls homosexuality a wicked thing. In fact this act was so wicked that all homosexuals were called Sodomites and God said that there should be no sodomites among the people of Israel (Deut 23:17). Furthermore, God said to His people Israel, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). It also says, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them" (Leviticus 20:13). In these passages homosexuality is condemned as a prime example of sin, a sexual perversion. In Leviticus 20:13-16, it is placed on par with having sexual relations with one's mother and having sexual relations with an animal.
Like the Old Testament, the New Testament is equally clear in its description of homosexuality as sinful. 1 Timothy 1:8-11 says, "But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." Jude 7 calls homosexuality an act of gross immorality. Thus, God's consistently describes homosexuality as an immoral act.
In light of this truth, how should the church view homosexuals? The Apostle Paul, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, declares that homosexuals "shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 6:9; 10). In this passage Paul not only addresses homosexuals but also fornicators, idolators, adulterers, thieves, covetous persons, drunkards, revilers and extortioners. After discussing these sins he says, "And such were some of you: But ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God" (I Corinthians 6:11). All of the sins mentioned in this passage are condemned by God, but just as there was hope in Christ for the Corinthians, so is there hope for all Christians. The hope is that Jesus Christ offers a healing alternative in which the power of sin is broken and the person is freed to know and experience his or her true identity in Christ and in the fellowship of his Church. It should be noted here that while Christians should detest the sin of homosexuality, they should love the sinner as one who is an object of God's great love. Whatever biological or familial roots of homosexuality may be discovered, Christians should not sanction or excuse homosexual behavior, though they would deepen compassion and patience for those who are struggling to be free from sexual temptations. In essence, all Christians have inherited a certain proclivity to sin from Adam and as such while no excuse for sin is acceptable, homosexuals must deal with their sin in a similar way to which heterosexuals must deal with theirs. They must recognize homosexual behavior as sin, renounce the practice of homosexual behavior, rediscover healthy, non-erotic friendships with people of the same sex, embrace a moral sexual lifestyle, and in the age to come, rise from the dead with a new body free from every sinful impulse.
In conclusion, the Bible consistently calls homosexuality sinful because it violates the created nature of man as well as the will of God. In light of that truth, while homosexual behavior is sinful, all homosexuals should be accorded the same dignity, compassion and respect as heterosexuals who are struggling with sinful habits. While not endorsing the behavior, a Christian should lovingly provide hope through the love of Christ and a willingness to lovingly assist these individuals throughout their battle with the sin of homosexuality.

I was thrown onto a Gaelic football pitch probably at the age of five. Davey, my Dad, a strong GAA man saw the amount of energy I had as a child and thought, what better way to let her release it than to run around a football pitch.
So I began at under eight, and worked my way up through age groups, playing for both the girls and the boys at U10, U12 and U14. I was devastated when the time came that I was over age to play for the boys. They will not let girls play against boys beyond the age of 14. They were the best years of my life.
I played for my club, Lacken, school, Loreto College Cavan and County, Cavan over the years.
I started my footballing career playing as a wing-half forward because it just seemed the handiest position. As I improved, midfield became my position of choice with most underage teams for girls and boys. When I reached minor, Dad converted me to a wing-half back, with a license to go forward. My favorite.
Now I am 20-years-old and living in New York. It was always a dream of mine to play in Gaelic Park, in the Bronx as my Dad did in the nineties and win as many medals as he did in New York.
I've been successful enough in Ireland winning medals over the years, so now it's time to do it here. I already have one under my belt. We won the championship with Cavan last summer. And I'm ready to win some more.
Cavan are taking on Na Fianna in the Annie Kearney Cup Final this Sunday in Gaelic Park.
"So, Thursday nights training isn't going to be a killing match", said Shaun our coach at Wednesday's practice. Well I hope it's not, I thought, otherwise none of us will be alive for our big final on Sunday. We understood him though. It means, no mile sprints of Tibbets park or hill runs, or no 500 reps. All that hard work is done.
Our first training session with Cavan this year was on a Sunday morning back in February. A small number of us girls braved the cold and took out for a "jog" around Tibbet's. For some, it turned into a run, others, a walk. Fitness levels were all over the place after a six month break from the football and a season full of eating and drinking just passed.
I thought I was fit. I wasn't able to walk for a week after that first session.
But, myself along with the rest of my teammates soldiered on and strived to become as fit as we could. It was not easy though. An excessive amount of cones, hurdles, tackle bags, hills, lunges and squats were involved. No medicine balls this year, thank God.
It doesn't really help when your trainer is a personal trainer himself and does the drills with you. He put us all to shame, back then. Not now though, any of us would roast him.
There was cursing involved, tears shed, and dinners brought back up over in Van Cortland. Commitments have been made. Girls have tormented their bosses for time off work, left kids with a babysitter, put studies on hold to come back from college and travelled from different boroughs and states to make training and games.
All the girls who provide the lifts to training and games throughout the year. Without them, none of us would be getting anywhere. Even though sometimes you'd be praying that nobody could give you a ride so you wouldn't have to go training, these girls always make sure there's somebody to take you. You might not always get there safe, but you're guaranteed the craic.
After weeks of training, we had our first match on Sunday April 15th against Rockland, in Rockland. We started the game with 12 players and ended in with nine. We won. It was a good feeling overall, but disappointing for myself. My bothersome, recurring knee injury decided to give way which has left me out of action for some time.
Since that first game we kept on training hard. We have had some ups and downs, with one more win and two losses. Our win has taken us through to the Annie Kearney Cup Final this Sunday.
Last Saturday, we suffered a loss to Fermanagh ladies. It was their first time in years to beat Cavan. We had the players, but we just didn't perform on the day.
I found myself in a new position. After being out injured for four weeks, I got handed the goalie's jersey on the evening.
I think I have just about played in every other one of the 14 positions on a Gaelic football pitch, but never in nets. I apologized to the girls in advance going into the game, but realized later, that is not the right attitude to have.
The entire game I stood there singing "Big Bad Wolf" By Duck Sauce in my head, because it had been overplayed in Ned's bar the night before. I was more like "Little Red Riding Hood" in the goals, absolutely terrified. I really do have so much respect for goalkeepers now. They are brave people.
I learned something from that game. Never go onto a pitch to play if you are going to have a negative attitude. Just stay at home, or stand on the sideline. A good team needs positivity. It is important for a team and their trainers to maintain a positive attitude. To some it comes naturally, but to work on this, click here.

Wonderful mixture! I subbed orange zest for lemon and used it in Pumpkin and Spice Sour Cream Coffee Cake . Perfect! THanks for sharing!
This is good!!! I loved the addition of cardamom in the mix which is my favorite spice. I did use less allspice in place of nutmeg as we do not consume intoxicants. I had this pinched over Spiced Grapefruit for a light lovely breakfast.
Thanks for posting! I really like the flavors that the cardamom and lemon zest give this! I used this in Pumpkin Pecan Bread. I don't usually buy spice mixes, so this really came in handy.

on January 22, 1987- during a televised press conference-Robert "Budd" Dwyer shot himself in the mouth.
Dwyer ,a Republican , was a member of Pennsylvania's House from the 6th district from 1965 to 1970 and served in the 50th district in the Pennsylvania Senate from 1971 to 1981. After this in 1982 he became the state treasurer until his death.
During the early 1980s, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania employees overpaid millions in (FICA) taxes. The state then solicited bids from accounting firms to calculate the amount each employee was owed back.
California-based Computer Associates, owned by Harrisburg native John Torquato, Jr used bribes to get a contract worth $4.6 million.
Governor Dick Thornburgh found out by an anonymous memo.
After an investigation by the United States Attorney, Dwyer was indicted for receiving a kickback of $300,000 in return for using his influence and office to steer the contract toward CTA.also indicted Torquato, his attorney William Smith, Smith's wife and former state Republican Party Chairman Robert Asher. , Torquato and the Smiths made a deal with and testified on behalf of the government against Dwyer and Asher
Dwyer was offered a plea bargain, but he refused it. Dwyer would have had to resign his office and cooperate fully with the government's investigation. Instead, the government hobbled Dwyer's defense by refusing to name some unindicted co-conspirators believed to have been staff members of the Dauphin County Republican Party.[ Dwyer was found guilty of bribe receiving in December 1986. He continued to profess his innocence vehemently The maximum sentence Dwyer faced was 55 years imprisonment and a $300,000 fine. His co-defendant Asher received one year in jail. Asher later returned to politics, and served as a Republican National Committeeman for Pennsylvania.
The 3 envelopes Dwyer hands to his staff contained a suicide note to his wife, an organ donor card and related materials and a letter to Pennsylvania Governor Robert P. Casey, who had taken office two days before.
Since Dwyer died in office before being removed upon sentencing, his widow, Joanne, was able to collect full survivor benefits totaling over $1.28 million

Certain files or folders in Documents To Go Desktop do not sync to my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch.
There are several reasons why certain files or folders may not sync to Documents To Go on your device:
Unsupported file types

Lotta movement in college football over the weekend. Hogs won a close one at Vandy, their kicker missed a chip shot as time ran out. Hate to see anyone crumble under the pressure that way. I'd rather see my team go out and win as opposed to having some poor kicker shank it in fromt of his home crowd.
Huge Gameball to the St. Louis Cards for an amazing run to get in the playoffs and then taking care of business the hard way to win the Fall Classic.
Congrats to the many Cards fans out there. Great run. Unfortunately, you lost your manager Tony LaRussa to retirement. There's some speculation that some of his questionable calls throughout the series led to him calling it quits but forget all that, he's won 3 World Series, he can go out any way he wants.
Congrats to his daughter, too.
She's a Raiderette.
Our buddy Clint Stoerner stopped by the studio for his monday Morning QB segment sponsored by NYPD Pizza. Clint was all worked up today. His main point about the defense needing to play and aggressive man instead of a zone made me a believer. Too much decision making goes into a zone and this doesn't play into the Hog's defense's strength. He also strongly believes the Razorbacks would beat Oklahoma right now.....yeah that's right....right now.
Spin that thing Stoerner

Nintendo products haven't been doing well in the UK as of late, with many retailers like Asda and Tesco slowly reducing their shelf space for Nintendo games. That hasn't stopped Mario Kart 8 from being a runaway success in the UK, however. Over the weekend the game managed to hit the top ten best sellers list at number three. Though it didn't beat out Watch Dogs, which released a few days earlier on nearly every gaming platform available, the Wii U console sales generated by the release of Mario Kart 8 were through the roof.
According to figures released by UKIE, it's estimated that sales for the console were boosted by 666% of previous numbers, and that nearly 82% of consoles sold were thanks to the Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle. This is just a quick slice look at the sales of Mario Kart 8 in one of Nintendo's worst performing regions. It should be interesting to see how the game performed in Japan when sales are released for that region on Wednesday. Unfortunately we'll have to wait the entire month of June to see how well Mario Kart 8 performed in the US, thanks to the monthly release schedule of NPD Group.

Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone has managed to sell the famous lock of hair cut off to mark his first goal in 32 months, for a remarkable fee on eBay.
Huddlestone, in a much-publicised incident, celebrated his goal in the 6-0 thrashing of Fulham on Boxing Day by having a lock of his long hair cut off, and now he's flogged it for charity.
The hair was eventually sold for a staggering £6,300 on the internet auctioning website to one - lucky? - Hull City fan.
"It's raised an amazing amount of money, more than I could have imagined, and the generosity from everybody involved has been incredible," Huddlestone said.
"I'd like to thank everybody for donating as much as they have done, and watching the total amount rise, particularly since the final whistle against Fulham, has meant a great deal to me."
After Huddlestone had his famous afro trimmed by club physio Rob Price on the sidelines, he put it up for sale on the club's official eBay page on December 30 with bidding very swiftly leaping to four figures that evening.
The item, which was listed on the site with the description of "Fluffy. One previous owner" attracted a remarkable 114 bids, eventually going for £6,300 on Monday.
The former England international has now raised over £50,000 for his 'Huddlefro' campaign for Cancer Research UK.
It all came about after he was challenged to not cut his hair until his next success in front of goal following his strike against Arsenal in a 3-3 draw way back in April 2011.
The winning bidder, whose identity is unknown at present, will be presented with the lock of hair at the club's training ground.

enzymes in this family have essential roles in regulation of
processes and in disease. We are studying the mechanisms of

Waves Advance to WCC Tournament Title Match with 4-2 Win over Santa Clara
April 26, 2013
SAN DIEGO – The #62 Pepperdine women's tennis team held off a late comeback from #63 Santa Clara and won 4-2 in the semifinals of the West Coast Conference Championship. The Waves have reached the finals of the conference tournament every single season since the current dual format was established in 1995.
Pepperdine struck first, winning two of the three doubles matches to claim a 1-0 advantage heading into singles.
Khunpak Issara (Bangkok, Thailand/Bangkok Patana School) and Megan Moore (Portland, Ore./Jesuit HS) were the first off the court, putting away an 8-3 decision versus Katie Le and Jessica Agra. The Waves top duo is now a perfect 4-0 from the No. 1 spot in the lineup.
Lorraine Guillermo (Walnut, Calif./Rowland HS) and Danielle Feneridis (Auckland, New Zealand/Westlake Girls HS) clinched the doubles point and defeated Stephanie Skaras and Delphine Rouvillois on court three, 8-2.
Pepperdine rolled with the early momentum in singles, and quickly took a 3-0 lead after convincing wins courtesy of Ale Granillo (Pachuca, Mexico/Instituto Hidalgo) and Issara. Granillo downed Alex Zaniewski 6-1, 6-0, while Issara won her 16th-straight match with a 6-2, 6-0 decision versus Kelly Lamble.
The Broncos began their comeback attempt with wins from the No. 1 and No. 6 spots in the lineup.
On the remaining courts, Michaela Capannolo (Hawthorn, Australia/Genazzano FCJ College) was in a close battle with Delphine Rouvillois while Moore edged Chelby Cooke 7-6 in the second to force a third set.
Capannolo came through for Pepperdine, holding off Rouvillois 6-4, 7-6 to put point No. 4 on the board and send the Waves into the final round of the tournament.
Pepperdine has won 22 total WCC Tournament championships including 15 since the dual format took over in 1995.
The Waves vie for the title -- and with it the automatic bid into the NCAA Championship -- tomorrow at the Barnes Tennis Center. Pepperdine, the No.2 seed, and top-seeded #40 Saint Mary's square off at 9:30 a.m. Live scores will be available through the WCC Tournament Central.
Santa Clara vs Pepperdin

Past President Charlie Watts presents the gavel to the newly elected president, Dave Lilly.
Rickman said the Rhododendron Girls State was started in 1941 under the sponsorship and direction of the American Legion Auxiliary. She said attendees were divided into two parties, the nationalists and federalists, which represented the Republican and Democrat parties.
Also, she mentioned that she learned about city, county and state government and had guest speakers including Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, Sen. Jack Yost, U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
Belamy also mentioned the government role playing that attendees take part in, as well as visits from the governor, senators and representatives.
Dr. Vadrevu Raju of the Morgantown Eye Clinic also was a recent speaker.
Raju studied in India, England and the United States and has performed surgeries around the world. He has been teaching at West Virginia State University since 1975 and is researching prevention of blindness in children.
He is active in many professional associations besides being a member of the Lions Club. He spoke on the importance of controlling diabetes, a leading cause of vision impairment and loss. He said diabetes is rising and there were 171 million cases in 2000 countries. This is the leading cause of new blindness in those under 65. Raju urged Lions in Upshur County to stay involved in every aspect of sight conservation.
Buckhannon Lions Club meetings are conducted at 6 p.m. the first and third Thursdays of the month, except July, at the American Legion Hall.
Anyone who would like to become a member of a service club that helps the community, call Maureen Hull at 304-472-3434 or any Buckhannon Lion member.

Notre-Dame Cathedral indeed dates back to the XIIIth century and is one of the masterpieces of Gothic art in Europe. Its stainglasses and the huge interior are really stunning artistic experiences of mystical dimension. Located on the Cité island and surrounded by the Seine river, Notre-Dame Cathedral is a flagship in the Parisian landscape and provides a magnificent view of the city from the top of its towers.
Bishop Maurice de Sully started the construction in 1163. The Cathedral was to be built in the new gothic style and had to reflect Paris's status as the capital of the Kingdom France. It was the first cathedral built on a monumental scale and became the prototype for future cathedrals in Europe, like the cathedrals of Amiens, Chartres or Rheims.
It took until 1345 before the cathedral was completed, partly because the design was enlarged during construction. The result is an overwhelming building, 130m long with two 69 meters tall towers. The spire, which reaches 90m, was added in the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc. The Notre-Dame has several large rose windows, the northern XIIIth century window is the most impressive. It is 21 meters high.
Excavations under the parvis have revealed traces of Notre-Dame's history from Gallo-Roman times to the XIXth century. Vestiges of Roman ramparts, rooms heated by hypocaust (an ancient system with underground furnaces and tile flues), medieval cellars, and the foundations of a foundling hospital are displayed, as are several fascinating photographs of the surrounding neighborhood before Baron Haussmann's renovations.
Starting in 1991, a program of general maintenance and restoration was initiated. While work continues, sections of the structure are likely to be shrouded by scaffolds.

Wreath may get clipped from Caddy logo
The wreath, though historic, is seen as outdated and obsolete
Cadillac's emblem has morphed nearly 40 times in the brand's 111-year history, and the classic laurel wreath that surrounds its crest has come and gone over the years. Now Cadillac is working on the first major change to its logo in more than a decade, pruning away the wreaths, sources tell Automotive News.
The modified emblem is likely to appear on a concept vehicle that Cadillac plans to show in mid-August at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The redesigned badge would appear on production cars no earlier than the 2015 model year – and the plans could change, the sources said.
Feedback from potential customers helped sink the wreath, the sources said. "Every time it was tested, the reaction was almost universally negative," a Cadillac insider said, adding: "The wreath is seen as outdated and obsolete."
That's an image that Cadillac has been working hard to shed with successive generations of products aimed at younger buyers.
The original crest was inspired by the historic family coat of arms of Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit and namesake of the brand. The emblem was last re-engineered in 1999. An assortment of birds, a vestige of the original company logo, was stripped from the main crest, but the surrounding wreaths survived in a modified form.
Note: The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is scheduled for Aug. 18: www.pebblebeachconcours.net/index.html.

A guest post –
A car is one of the most expensive items a family will ever purchase, and doing so can result in a significant amount of unforeseen expenses each month. For instance, one constant expense is gas. The cost of gas has recently placed a strain on many families, but it is possible that the cost of gas may continue to rise. Since auto expenses likely already eat up a huge chunk of your monthly budget, take the following measures to make up for any increase in gas prices come this summer.
1. Maintenance
Taking proper care of your car on a monthly basis is necessary to save yourself from financial disaster down the road. With proper maintenance, a car's performance improves and you'll often see this borne out in better mileage. For instance, get regular tune-ups. Tunes-ups help to ensure the car's oil levels are at the right levels, the battery is in good condition and the spark plugs are working properly. If any of these items are not performing well, your car is likely to use more gas.
2. Tires
Another aspect of your car to take care of are the tires. Make sure that they are at the right pressure and inflated correctly. A tire that has the correct amount of pressure will result in less drag and resistance, saving gas. In addition, your tires should be properly aligned to prevent any steering problems. Shaking and trembling of the steering wheel while the car is in motion are common indications that there may be an issue with alignment.
3. Driving
Driving fast can be tempting, especially if you are running late. Unfortunately, driving fast or excessively accelerating can increase the amount of gas the car needs to consume. Maintaining a constant low speed is important to decrease the amount of gas used. It may also be a surprise to know that driving too slow may also cause more gas to be used, since there is more resistance to your tires. As a result, a steady and constant pace is the best way to maintain reasonable levels of gas.
During the hot summer months, A/C is often necessary while driving, but it can really put a drain on your gas. To prevent this, try driving with your windows rolled down. Or, turn the A/C off once your car has cooled. In addition, leaving the car on while waiting for your friend as they run to the store can have a negative impact on the amount of gas used. It is very important to minimize how often you leave your car idle.

At speeds greater than about 40 mph, and depending on the car, the aerodynamic drag of windows rolled down may cost more in gas than using the air conditioning. Newer cars in particular have less aerodynamic drag and have more efficient a/c units. Many reports on the internet attest to this. Google on {"air conditioning" driving mph}.

There was a Mythbusters segment on a/c versus the windows down. I believe, if I remember correctly, both were the same. I guess then it would be (for us here in say Las Vegas) the choice between helping the environment or roasting our behinds off LOL!
pfdeals Says:
April 27th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Definitely agree on 1. Regular maintenance is important. I ended up buying a maintenance plan for my car, which lets me budget the maintenance expenses in advance as well, since they are already paid for.

Vacation Inspiration: Parisian Blues
I'm sure I'm the very first visitor to Paris to notice that many of the doors there are painted in various shades of blue: moody grey-blues, stormy ocean blues, even a cool turquoise here and there. Maybe it's the unique Parisian light, but these blues had me bitterly regretting the heretofore-luscious teal I'd chosen for my accent walls. Does this Parisian inspiration have you pulling out the paint chips?
Which is your favorite Parisian blue?

By CRYSTAL LEWIS BROWN, Fort Jackson LeaderJune 18, 2009
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- One by one, the Soldiers slowly took their positions in front of Post Headquarters. The 13 Soldiers' uniforms ranged from the elaborate coats and headdress of the Revolutionary War-era Soldier to the BDUs worn by Soldiers only a few years ago.
The Soldiers, representing the progression of the Army from its inception until today, provided a fitting introduction to the Army's 234th birthday celebration.
Though the actual Army birthday was June 14, Fort Jackson celebrated with a ceremony Friday.
Col. Brian Reinwald, 165th Infantry Brigade commander, told those in attendance how important it is to recognize the Army's founding.
"Today, we will do that which our founders could not," he said. "And that is, have a birthday celebration."
The event also provided an opportunity to honor the Army's noncommissioned officers during the Year of the NCO, Reinwald said.
"From the very beginning, the Army has depended on the NCO Corps," he said. "On the 234th birthday celebration, we celebrate our NCOs."
In further recognition of the Year of the NCO, Sgt. Jimmie Billison, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment, was chosen to cut the cake alongside Brig. Gen. Bradley May, commanding general and post Command Sgt. Maj. Brian Stall.
Billison is the most recently promoted NCO in the 165th Infantry Brigade.
He was introduced by Staff Sgt. Lisa Swanson, Fort Jackson's 2009 NCO of the Year.
"It makes you feel like you're really part of something ... especially as a younger Soldier," Billison said afterward. "You just think about all the stuff everybody went through from 1775 until now. You still want to leave that mark."
Also part of Friday's festivities was a cake-cutting ceremony at AAFES' Main PX. Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Christopher Culbertson did the honors in front of a group of AAFES customers and employees. Before cutting the cake, he led the group in singing "Happy Birthday."
"For 234 years, we've gotten this right," he said, referring to the Army. "We've gotten this right because of great Soldiers, great civilians and great family members."

Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC Urges FCC to
Protect Interests of Asian Americans on the Internet
FCC Open Internet Proposals Makes Significant Strides to
Promote an Open Internet But Additional Protections Needed
WASHINGTON—Today, Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC (Advancing Justice | AAJC) submitted preliminary comments regarding the Federal Communications Commission's proposals to protect and promote an open Internet, also known as "net neutrality" rules.
"Our comments today reaffirm our values as a civil rights organization and that we believe in the importance of a diversity of voices and freedom of speech, including being able to share your stories and access all speakers on the Internet," said Mee Moua, president and executive director of Advancing Justice | AAJC. "As civil rights advocates, we stand against discrimination and support fairness and equity, whether it is in traditional settings or in the digital age."
"The Asian American community greatly benefits from the Internet ecosystem. It levels the playing field for minority voices and entrepreneurs, empowers and promotes integration of our community, supports the production and distribution of culturally and linguistically relevant content and provides economic opportunity."
The Commission's proposed rules seek to ensure Internet service providers (ISPs) do not block Internet users' abilities to access legal content from websites, or edge providers, on the Internet. The rules also set forth a "commercially reasonable" standard that prohibits ISPs, based on the totality of the circumstances, from practices that harm the openness of the Internet and all the benefits that follow from the free flow of ideas and information on the web, including investment, innovation and deployment of broadband networks.
"The commercially reasonable standard allows for certain forms of pay-for-prioritization, where an edge provider pays an ISP to prioritize its content to the ISP's end users," said Jason T. Lagria, Advancing Justice | AAJC senior staff attorney. "While we support the Commission's effort to craft net neutrality rules, we are concerned the standard does not sufficiently protect the interests of minority entrepreneurs with limited resources and the communities that rely on their content."
"Collectively, Asian Americans have the highest rate of Internet usage and spend more time surfing the web and viewing online videos than any other group. The Internet allows Asian Americans to access culturally and linguistically relevant content that mainstream media does not provide. Asian Americans also want content with people that resemble us and the Internet has evolved to meet these needs." Advancing Justice | AAJC recognizes that while some forms of prioritization may be beneficial, the Commission should explicitly consider and protect against the negative impact of paid prioritization on minority communities.
"We look forward to working with the Commission to develop policies that ensure the interests of the Asian American and other minority communities are met," said Moua.

The Victoria and Melbourne Stars batsman has been overlooked in favour of Aaron Finch as the national selection panel seek to freshen up a batting order which struggled at times during the recent one-day series against Sri Lanka.
Australia were bowled out for 170 in Adelaide and a shocking 74 in Brisbane as they drew the five-match series 2-2. Hussey averaged 32 and, though that placed him third among Australian batsmen, he has paid the price.
Selector John Inverarity said: "The NSP was delighted with the ODI team's impressive win against Sri Lanka in Hobart on Wednesday, in particular with Phillip Hughes' well-crafted innings (of 138 not out) and the bowling of Xavier Doherty and Moises Henriques.
"There were concerns, however, with the team's batting performances during the series when the conditions were conducive to swing bowling, conditions that were beautifully exploited by Nuwan Kulasekara and Lasith Malinga.
"Aaron Finch has been included in the squad at the expense of David Hussey. A top four of (David) Warner, Finch, Hughes and (Michael) Clarke has good balance and the team looks forward to getting better starts than has been the case recently. David Hussey has been dropped from the squad as the NSP keeps a constant eye on the future."
Hussey's elder brother Michael retired from international cricket earlier this month. Captain Clarke is included despite a nagging ankle injury while Inverarity also offered encouraging prognoses on the fitness of absent seamer James Pattinson and all-rounder Shane Watson.
"Michael Clarke is making steady progress with the ankle he injured on 22 January and we are confident that Michael will recover in time to be fit for the first of the ODI fixtures against the West Indies on 1 February," he said.
"James Pattinson came under consideration for this squad but, at the time of the selection meeting, he had not bowled a ball in interstate or international cricket since 24 November. It is anticipated that James will go to Perth to practice with the squad.
"Shane Watson has been making pleasing progress in recent weeks. He is planning on playing for his Sydney club tomorrow and will be available for selection for New South Wales' RYOBI One-Day Cup fixture against Western Australia on 30 January."

Tsonga's US Open Appeal
August 26, 2011 · Print This Article
by: Rob York
Watching him plough through the Australian Open draw three and a half years ago, I couldn't shake a feeling of familiarity.
Yes, I had seen him play before, but primarily in some early-round defeats, and clearly not like this. There was something about his broad shoulders and swaggering gait, plus his unusual mannerisms when the ball was not in play, such as squealing after particularly egregious misses and hopping around in celebration after wins.
But mostly it was his game: He took huge swings at forehands, often skipping out on rallies by going for depth, aiming to either hit winners or set up his exceptional volleying. Unlike the high-percentage play of his peers who clung to the baseline, he was so confident on serve that he was free to take such chances.
And then I saw him dive for a shot, and it occurred to me: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is Boris Becker.
And much as Boom-Boom blasted his way onto the scene, devastating a long trail of opponents one his way to his first Queens and Wimbledon titles in 1985, the Frenchman Tsonga in a two-week period went from obscurity to giant killer, toppling Andy Murray, Richard Gasquet, Mikhail Youzhny, and finally Rafael Nadal to reach the 2008 AO final. Even in defeat to Novak Djokovic in that championship match, the 22-year-old sent an exciting message to the rest of the field: Attacking tennis wasn't dead.
Becker, of course, was much younger when he broke through in '85, a 17-year-old with a huge serve, complete game and intrinsic love of competition. Part of the reason Tsonga was still little-known at 22 was because he'd not been able to compete in so many events, having spent much of his early career hobbled by injuries.
This predicament would, sadly, continue. In the same year as his breakthrough Tsonga missed the next two majors with an injured knee. The next time he reached a slam semi would be the 2010 AO, beating Djokovic on the way, but injuries returned. Throughout his straight-set defeat against Roger Federer, the Frenchman could be seen clutching his side, the result of too many sudden changes in direction.
But that match revealed another, perhaps related problem: Tsonga was not progressing as a player. While he shared Becker's big first serve, penetrating forehand and good feel around the net, Jo-Willy had few other options, and very little in the way of a backup plan. Part of the reason for his early success was that Becker's big first serve was more reliable in tight situations and his second serve was much harder to handle. He had a one-handed backhand that could be chipped or driven, ideal for keeping baseliners off balance.
Against Federer, Tsonga found himself pitted against an opponent with the same strengths – forehand, serve and net play – plus quite a bit more defense and patience.
Perhaps his injuries kept him from developing more options. Maybe this had also kept him from becoming the clutch performer that Becker was at an early age. Whatever the case, Tsonga lost 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 that day, the same score by which he'd beaten Nadal – at the same round of the same event – just two years earlier. Injured or not, the Frenchman's shot selection, which had looked overwhelming when he was riding a hot streak, now appeared one-dimensional.
In the aftermath of that event, the pattern continued, with Tsonga losing between the third round and the quarters of the subsequent majors, with the exception of the 2010 US Open; another event he missed due to injury.
When he faced Federer again at the 2011 Wimbledon, he was playing in the main draw of just his 15th Grand Slam. That's right, one less major than The Great Swiss has won.
His game may not have progressed much beyond his belt –serve, belt-forehand-and-show-flair-doing-it approach, but once again Tsonga was on a hot streak. Having beaten Nadal again at Queens, the Frenchman had enough confidence to pull off something no one had done before: beat Federer at a major after losing the first two sets.
For the now-30-year-old Swiss, it may have been just the latest of his recent disappointments. Tsonga, after all, joins Juan Martin del Potro, Robin Soderling and Tomas Berdych among big guys with big forehands who've ushered Federer out of majors in recent years.
But for the Frenchman, there were signs that this might be the start of something new, even though he again fell to Djokovic in the following round. Only weeks later, Tsonga defeated Federer a second time in Canada, this time running away with the third set by a score of 6-1.
Once again, though, he was derailed by injury, having to quit in the semis. His momentum spent, he fell early the next week in Cincinnati.
The US Open, played on a slick surface and in a boisterous atmosphere, is one where Tsonga ought to thrive. Coming as it does at the end of a long season, New York has never lifted the Frenchman past a fourth round appearance. The results of this summer should inspire him to new successes, provided his injury has mended and he's gotten the practice he needs.
Past results would suggest that he won't, though, and it'll be some months before he recovers. If the Frenchman has any of that Beckeresque flair left in him this summer, though, now would be a good time to start some new habits. It wouldn't just be good for him; a game full of baseliners could use a little Boom-Boom.

This Wednesday CBO Director Doug Elmendorf gave a slide presentation on Capitol Hill titled: Health Costs and the Federal Budget. Elemendorf's very first slide reads:
Rising health costs will put tremendous pressure on the federal budget during the next few decades and beyond. In CBO's judgment, the health legislation enacted earlier this year does not substantially diminish that pressure.
The presentation concludes:
Putting the federal budget on a sustainable path would almost certainly require a significant reduction in the growth of federal health spending relative to current law (including this year's health legislation).
In other words, our nation's budget is on an unsustainable path and Obamacare did nothing to change that.

SideBear: This should not come as a surprise to anyone who was paying attention but it goes a long way in showing how deceitful and corrupt politics are in Washington today.
An honest government would have published this first before they voted on ObamaCare.
