U.S. stocks dropped sharply after the Standard & Poor's Rating Service warned there is a one in three chance it will downgrade its outlook on America's debt from "stable" to "negative" in the next two years.
On Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 140.24 points to 12201.59 - its biggest drop since mid-March.
"The reason for the negative outlook is that against the backdrop of what we think is the continuing rising tide of government debt," said David Beers, global head of sovereign and international public finance ratings at Standard & Poor's.
"We think it is uncertain to us whether Congress or the administration, as they are now trying to do, can come up with an agreement over the next couple of months, or indeed between now and the elections next year, that will make a big dent in that underlying debt trajectory," he added.
The White House downplayed the report, calling the decision a political judgment that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
"As for its political analysis, we simply believe that the prospects are better," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said. "We think the political process will outperform S&P expectations."
But others say the action is cause for concern. If the S&P lowers its rating on U.S. debt, the federal government will have to pay more interest when it borrows money.
"One of the scary things is the amount of debt we have right now," noted David Keating, senior counselor for National Taxpayers Union.
"If we have interest rates go up even just a tiny bit, that massively boots the interest cost on the debt, makes it harder to balance the budget -- probably even harder to compute our taxes in the future because they'll probably get more complicated and maybe pass higher rates too," he said.
Beers says while other countries like the U.K. and Germany have already taken steps to decrease their deficits, he doesn't see that happening in the U.S. until 2014 or later.
"So we think in those examples that I have just given, all of those governments, have very clear plans to bring those deficits down. In this country, in the United States, people are still talking about a plan," Beers said.
Meanwhile, President Obama and congressional Republicans continue to spar over how to reduce the nation's red ink. Both sides have proposed very different plans for cutting trillions of dollars from the deficit over the next 10 to 12 years.

For me, this whiteboard session was summed up very well at the end (sorry - don't have a time-mark off the top of my head): If we're building an distributed set of services that require implicit "synchronization", that is, contracts must be in sync, type knowledge must be available to everyone, etc., than what we've actually built is ONE BUSINESS SERVICE connected by distributed technologies.
By contrast, as soon as you try to connect MULTIPLE BUSINESS SERVICES, developed by different teams/companies, different timezones/locations, different languages, toolsets (make sure you include vim/emacs here even if you don't agree with it), all of these "benefits" (of "pixie dust" as Clemens puts it) begin to vanish very quickly. You simply cannot force that type of orchestration across companies/teams/locations/timezones without paying a heavy price. I've worked at at least two companies that have tried, and they end up getting buried by their own processes.
IMO, either of these models is acceptable - so long as we're cognizant of the implications of the systems we're building. That (from my point of view) was the real point of this session....not a religious debate over some ultimate right-and-wrong (or "best" practice, whatever that means).
As always, use what works for you and your specific application - but understand you can't have both. Much like the "static v. dynamic" debates, if you want a language that allows dynamic features, you're going to have a bad day if you try to do that with a static language. Likewise, if you want complete decoupling between services (no really - 100% decoupling, not just a separate project in Visual Studio), you're going to have to build them differently (regardless of technology you're using).

Positive Pay
Positive Pay is the most sophisticated of all account reconciliation services. It is a process that enables you to minimize potential fraud losses associated with checks issued by your company. Using Positive Pay, you can review suspect items prior to their being paid by the bank and return any checks that appear to be fraudulent.
The Way It Works
1. Your company sends Simmons Bank a list containing the serial number and amount of each check that will be issued. Simmons Bank passes the issued check information to our Positive Pay System.
2. Simmons Bank processes your checks presented for payment and a file is passed to the Positive Pay system.
3. The Positive Pay system compares the two files.
4. If the checks are on your issued file they are paid. If the checks presented for payment are not on your issued check file, they are considered an Exception.
5. Exception items are communicated to you via an exception report.
6. It is then up to you to decide whether to pay the item(s) or not. If Simmons Bank does not receive your decision in time to make its internal return check deadlines, the checks are returned.
7. Approved exception items are paid and the bank returns unapproved exception items.

I'm interested in doing some experimental mathematics using the PSLQ integer relation algorithm. The only third-party program for doing PSLQ problems I've been able to find is a GNU C++ program with a less-than-user-friendly command-line interface. I've heard that Maple implements PSLQ and I like the symbolic input and presentation it offers as a CAS, but I can't find any information on which alternative types of Maple 18 make the PSLQ algorithm available.

Is it that you can't get it to work, perhaps because it was
designed for Windows XP and you are not using XP?
Or, you can't get it to accept COBOL source code as
text, perhaps because it was not designed for that?
I am familiar with allCLEAR, having used Release 3.0
from 1993; though I have not used it for several years.
I even used it to create small flowcharts from COBOL
source code, by re-typing the code in a form acceptable
to allCLEAR; but I am not aware of any prior discussion
on this newgroup related to automating this.
Prior discussions of flowcharting software seem invariably
to revert to mainframe software from the 60s and 70s, when
flowcharts were not passé.
Some modern and very expensive COBOL development
environments may have some of what you are looking for;
but I am not aware of any inexpensive approach to
accomplish what you ask.

Add to any gift a list of the reasons why you apecaripte him. Perhaps have it inscribed on a wall plague.Please don't get a joke card. In my 20+ years of working with fathers, it has been rare that a joke card that makes fun of his abilities is really apecaripted.I wrote this to Dear Abby for Father's Day, March 19, 2005.APPRECIATION FOR JOB WELL DONE IS WHAT FATHERS WANT TO HEARDEAR ABBY: Today is Father's Day, so why don't we try to do more for dear old Dad than give him the usual greeting card that promotes the idea that all dads are imbeciles, followed by a collect call to see what he thought of the card. (Father's Day is the day when the most collect calls are made.)We should treat our fathers the way we treat our mothers on Mother's Day and show them we apecaripte them for being there. Yes, you probably tell your father all the time that you love him, but the minds of men work differently. Anyone can say I love you, but as men, knowing that we are apecaripted for a job well done is what really gets us teary-eyed.Something else you can do especially you sons out there (but daughters can do it, too) is to make sure Dad has been to the doctor for a checkup, including depression screening. This can go a long way toward making sure he's here on Father's Day next year.I wasn't raised by my father, but by a stepfather. Although we did not see eye-to-eye on many things, I would not be the person I am today if it were not for him. This man, who spent years climbing on top of heavy construction equipment to prepare the ground for many of the homes, businesses, roads and highways of Southern California, now finds it difficult to get into a car. Although none of the houses or roads have his name on them, they are all testaments to his life and the lives of men like him.So today, let's do something extra for Dad, without him pulling out his wallet to pay for it. George McCasland, Overland Park, Kansas*************************************************************** Remember, there's a lot of us fathers sitting in nursing homes whose children live too far away to visit. Contact an activities director about volunteering Sunday morning. Read a list out loud about why you apecaripted your father.

What I've Learned While Interning at Ticket Alternative
When I came into the Ticket Alternative office on my first day, I honestly had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that some of the greatest people I've met work here! Every day feels like you're hanging out with friends, which makes the day go by so much faster! There are some people who constantly have headphones on while they're working (which shows how much we all love music)! And in the call center, every time someone makes a sale they say it like AWOLNATION sings it! Not to mention there's almost always an orange soccer ball getting kicked around the room and knocking into the chairs and desks, so you get some athletic training too! You've also got movie discussions going on all the time (my personal favorite right now is The Amazing Spider-Man)! One of my favorite moments was when Iain made a zipline with one of those wooden figures you can pose and a computer cable…it didn't work out very well…
But I think my favorite thing about interning here was getting to be around music and everything related every day I came in! Sure, I was only in the office two days a week, but there's almost always music playing (including Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe"). Everyone here has a different taste in music, which makes the conversations and the playlists extremely eclectic and awesome.
Essentially, Ticket Alternative is an amazing place to work, and I think everyone should know!

It's March Gladness, everyone!
Um, March Madness.
The Kid President is at it again. After President Obama selected his Final Four on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday morning, the YouTube sensation "Kid President" had a go. He also showed that he is quite a fan of the Maize and Blue.
Selecting Michigan (or "Michigo") to go all the way to the national championship game, Kid President warns Wolverines opponents that they will "taste the fur" and "taste the claws" along the way. He gets a little help from ESPN's Robert Flores, especially when he can't reach the top of the big white board that the bracket is laid out upon.
Unfortunately for Michigan fans, the dance ends short of a national title as Kid President picks Gonzaga, his favorite team, to finally do in the Wolverines.
Michigan State fans, if you look closely, he has Memphis beating the Spartans in the round of 32. The kid is a little bias though as he mentions that Memphis is "homeland." No hard feelings.
Check out the video below to get Kid President's full insight to the Big Dance.

Lot # 730 (of 873) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1961-62 Fleer Basketball Complete Set (66)
Starting Bid - $1,500.00, Sold For - $5,175.00
Extraordinary Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt (includes just a few cards Ex to Ex-Mt) complete set of this significant basketball issue. The 1961-62 Fleer basketball set is one of the very few basketball sets issued during this era. Included are many rookie cards of key Hall of Famers including Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Roberston, and Jerry West. This is an incredible factory-fresh high-grade set which appears to have been assembled directly from wax packs. We have selected four key cards to send in for grading by PSA. #8 Wilt Chamberlain recieved a grade of NM-MT 8 by PSA. The other three cards (#3 Baylor, #43 West, and #66 West IA) were each graded NM 7 by PSA, and in our opinion each of these cards could have easily qualified for a grade of NM-MT 8. This is a beautiful set. Centering, which is usually a very significant problem with this issue, is exceptional (virtually all within 30/70 both ways), and many cards with virtually perfect centering, including the four PSA-graded cards. Keys: #1 Attles (Ex), 3 Baylor RC (PSA NM 7), 8 Chamberlain RC (PSA NM-MT 8), 10 Cousy (70/30 T/B otherwise Nr/Mt-Mt), 22 K.C. Jones RC (70/30 L/R otherwise Nr/Mt), 23 S. Jones RC (70/30 T/B otherwise Nr/Mt), 36 Robertson RC (70/30 T/B otherwise Nr/Mt-Mt), 38 Russell (70/30 L/R and T/B otherwise Nr/Mt), 43 West RC (PSA NM 7), 44 Wilkins RC (70/30 T/B otherwise Nr/Mt-Mt), 47 Chamberlain IA (70/30 T/B and L/R, one horizontal print line, otherwise Nr/Mt), 61 Robertson IA (70/30 T/B otherwise Nr/Mt), 62 Russell IA (70/30 T/B otherwise Nr/Mt), 66 West IA (PSA NM 7).

With the presidential election approaching, we find one candidate wanting to redistribute the wealth from the rich to the poor by raising taxes on the "rich," with the other candidate wanting to lower taxes across the board. As you may have surmised, I do have more financially conservative leanings. I did vote for George Bush and now feel betrayed by his spendthrift policies.
Let's take a look at the results of an interesting study on taxation in general: Hauser's Law or "you can't soak the rich."
Kurt Hauser is a San Francisco investment economist who, 15 years ago, published fresh and eye-opening data about the federal tax system. His findings imply that there are draconian constraints on the ability of tax rate increases to generate fresh revenues. For years, efforts have been made to identify the effect that changing tax policies have had on the economy and tax revenues. Most of those efforts have been highly speculative and contentious. Will increasing tax rates on the rich increase revenues, as Barack Obama hopes, or hold back the economy, as John McCain fears?
Hauser uncovered the means to answer these questions definitively. In a column in the Wall Street Journal back in 1993, he stated, "No matter what the tax rates have been, in postwar America tax revenues have remained at about 19.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product." This is now called "Hauser's Law." Hauser has since updated his time line through 2007 with the same results. He presents a graph with the vertical axis being marginal tax rates and tax revenues as a percentage of the GDP. Horizontal axis is time between 1950 and 2007. We see marginal tax rates declining significantly then rising again from the 1990s to now. We see tax revenues as percentage of GDP remaining flat through that entire time period from 1950 through 2007.
Given that GDP is the sum total of all goods and services produced in the United States for one year, a rising GDP means that our nation is getting more prosperous with greater personal incomes being realized, hence more taxes being paid.
We can draw some very interesting conclusions from Hauser's study:
n Tax revenue raised is independent of marginal tax rates and changes in marginal tax rates. Looking back over 57 years (1950 through 2007) marginal tax rates ranged from a high of 91 percent to the current 35 percent (President Reagan did get the marginal tax rate lowered temporarily to 28 percent in the 1980s, bless his heart). With the significant highest marginal tax rates varying so greatly, tax revenues as a percentage of GDP barely budged.
n Tax revenue is directly proportional to GDP over the same 57 year period at 19.5 percent. So if we want to increase tax revenue, all we have to do is increase our GDP. In other words, have our citizens become more prosperous.
What happens if we instead raise tax rates? David Rason, head of research at H.C. Wainwright & Co. Economics, Inc., said: "Economists of all persuasions accept that a tax rate hike will reduce GDP, in which case Hauser's Law says it will also lower tax revenues.
That's a highly inconvenient truth for redistributive tax policy, and it flies in the face of deeply felt beliefs about social justice ... Because Mr. Hauser's horizontal straight line is simple fact, it is ultimately very compelling. It seems likely that the tax system could maintain a 19.5 percent yield with a top tax bracket even lower than 35 percent."
What makes Hauser's Law work? Hauser said, "Raising taxes encourages taxpayers to shift, hide, and underreport income ... Higher taxes reduce the incentives to work, produce, invest, and save, thereby dampening overall economic activity and job creation."
So much for increasing tax revenues by increasing marginal tax rates.
If what certain politicians are saying is true, we should see that the percent of total tax revenues paid by the top 1 percent of U.S. taxpayers has declined over the years as a result of "top tier" beneficial tax legislation. From the Tax Foundation, IRS we read: "The top 1 percent of US taxpayers is responsible for the payment of 40 percent of all federal income tax. Ten years ago, the top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 35 percent of all federal income tax. Twenty years ago, the top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 28 percent of all federal income tax."
So who has benefited more from recent tax legislation? I wouldn't say the rich have, would you?

Our View: Erie Passport program will transport you to the east
North East has the distinction of being nestled in the northwest corner of our commonwealth, no doubt confusing some travelers who just punch "northeast Pennsylvania" into the GPS.
If you live in Erie, though, you know that the northeast corner of our county offers the perfect geographic location for growing grapes, cherries and other fruit. Inhaling the fragrance of grapes on the vine is one reason to explore eastern Erie County. The Erie County Recreational Passport program provides four more reasons. The Recreational Passport program is part of Let's Move Outside, sponsored by the Erie County Department of Health, Erie-Yesterday, Highmark and VisitErie. Participants are encouraged to walk, hike or bike 15 trails, including four in eastern Erie County.
The North East Heritage Path takes visitors from the Lake Shore Railway Museum, past 19th century homes and other historic properties, into lovely Gibson Park and around Mercyhurst University's North East campus.
Downtown North East is a bustling place, especially in summer. The Harborcreek Community Park Trail, in contrast, takes visitors through lush green space and along quiet wooded paths. The park includes a playground and picnic grounds.
Two trails in eastern Erie County have been added to the passport program for 2013. During the 26 stops on the Lawrence Park Trail, you'll learn how the township developed after General Electric Co. built it as a company town and garden city between 1907 and 1910.
Also new this year is the Greenfield Township Community Park Trail, which begins at 10430 Station Road. This trail is a mere half-mile long but to get the full fitness benefits from your walk or hike here, you'll want to use the 12 exercise stations, which requires you to walk the trail twice, for a total of 1 mile.
To learn more about the Recreational Passport program and to register for a chance to win a mountain bike by visiting all 15 trails, visit www.letsmoveoutside.org.

Swyft 2 - My first Hand Launch Glider ever
After months of having this kit in the box, I finally started to build it after watching a video of emb145drvr fly his DLG... I saw how much fun emb145drver was having and, especially, seeing the big grin on his face when he caught the plane. The reason for the procrastination was because of the complex construction of Swyft 2. When I first saw the instructions for it, I said to myself, "Whoa! This is going to be one helluva difficult build and would take weeks to finish", so I decided just to put it off or until I had a reason to build it. Well, I have a reason to finish it now - can't have emb145drvr have all the fun.. The build actually went fairly easily after I got going with it, and it wasn't as complicated as thought it would be. The instruction is just very detailed, which is great because I learned a lot of building techniques, and the whole expericence turned out to be quite fun... Well, enough of me babbling... Here's a few photos of what I've completed so far.
She finished!!!
Here she is finally finished after a long, arduous building process; and actually, soon after I had finished her, I maidened her with the CG not quite nailed down (tail-heavy), which was a big, big mistake and I should have known better. I don't know what I was thinking. I got too excited, I guess... When I gave her a light toss, she tucked right under. I thought it had too much elevator, so I compensated by trimming up; and tossed her again with the same result, tucking into the ground, but this time the tail boom broke off from the gusset and threw all the control linkages out of alignment ... I repaired her already and here are some photos. I added at least 10grams to the nose to achieve the correct CG and hopefully, she flies better than during the maiden flight.
Sloping the Swyft2
Sloped the Swyft2 today and, boy, she sure can stay aloft for a long time in 5-6 mph winds... Launched her 7-10 times and each flying iteration probably lasted 5-7 minutes. It was great! Definitely hooked. I like the fact that you don't have to worry about replacing the battery every time you fly...
If I can convince my wife to come out with me, I'll try to get video footages next time I'm at "Stinky" Mountain.

Huck, AKA Hen, AKA Buzz, AKA GusNatalie
If you were to come to my house on a random night and sit on my sofa (and drink my Diet Cokes, go on help yourself, I'm a good hostess), you'd be forgiven for thinking I have five kids. For the life of me, I can't seem to settle on a nickname for my kid. In a five-minute time span I've called him ten random names! You'd be just sitting there, paging through my magazines, thinking to yourself, "Who is this Hen person, and how long has she had a kid named Buzz?" Also you'd probably be thinking, "Wow, she has bad taste in names."
Now, this is one of those areas of parenting that never comes up in the books (which I haven't read anyway, lets be honest) and I feel it deserves some discussion: Nicknaming your kids. Super hard, right? At what point does it feel natural to call your kid by the name you picked out for him at birth? I mean, sure, some people let their kids' nicknames evolve naturally, but where's the fun in that? Is this just me? I swear, naming my dogs was way easier than this!
We went around and around (and around!) on the name issue when I was pregnant. I had picked out all of names of my future children by the time I was in the fifth grade, of course, but by the time my baby was nearly fully-cooked and naming him was becoming a reality, my husband declared that "Henry" was suddenly off the table. (He "never liked it all that much." Rude!) So we scrambled. Simon? David? Nothing felt right. Especially because I had been calling the baby "Huck" for months and needed a name that would make all that make sense. So, "Henry" won out by virtue of the fact that we couldn't come up with anything better (though middle name Gene was swapped for August).
So, naming babies is hard. Yes? As difficult as I expected it would be, yes. But what happens when you go into naming a baby with the expectation that you'll be calling him by a nickname most of the time, and then you're not actually able to stick with that nickname? That is something else entirely, isn't it though?
Here are the nicknames my poor confused kid gets called on the daily:
1. Of course, "Huck", and the many variations thereof I can manage to come up with in a day (Huckles, Huckley, Huckadoo, etc.).
2. Sometimes I call him "Bug", or "Buzz". Why? No really, why?
3. Then there's "Hen." Hen feels like my special, personal nickname, too tender for public use. This, of course, means that I'll likely end up calling him "Hen" the most and in front of all his friends to boot, and therefore it won't be so special anymore.
4. "Hank", "Hank the Tank", "Hank the Crank", and of course, "Hanky Pank" (duh).
5. The first/middle combo, otherwise known as You're In Trouble, Mister!: "Henry August"
(But sometimes I feel like calling him Henry August just for fun though? Won't that get confusing to him later? If I keep this up, will he constantly be thinking he's in for it or something?)
6. What I (alarmingly) wanted to call him from the first second he was born: "Henry Diddle Squat"
7. The nickname version of that nickname: "Henry Dids"
8. His nickname at four in the morning when he's already woken up twice to eat and I know he's just messing with me: "Ugghghghhhhhhhghghgghghghghg"
9. And then of course, his real name: "Henry." My husband almost always calls him Henry. And he was the one who didn't really like "Henry!" The strangeness of this! I mean, !!!!!
10. Lately I have been calling him Tooth Face, so . . .
11. Then there's the nickname from the left field of his middle name, which I never saw coming but which is really quite catchy: "Gus"
(Confusingly, I've always liked "Gus" as a nickname to "Oscar," which is my top name should we get pregnant again and end up with another boy. So do I save the Gus? Or do I Carpe Diem the Gus because there may never be an Oscar? Do you feel sorry for me and feel glad that you are not having to be me these days?)
Your theories on nicknames and a resounding "RELAX, NATALIE" in the comments, please.

The Central Park Conservancy: A Model for Park Conservation around the Country
By admin | August 15, 2011
By:Â Dylan Rodgers
Just taking a walk through Central Park can be an awe inspiring experience. It is a beautifully designed and kept landscape catering to all interests including art, history, sports, botany, picnicking, R&R, music, etc. This massive park smack dab in the center of Manhattan provides a wonderful sanctuary for anyone interested in 'escaping' the city for a while. It is home to tons of animals and plants acting as a single, living organism spanning from Midtown Manhattan well into Harlem. To keep this amazing park going, a private, non-profit organization named the Central Park Conservancy works year-round landscaping, cleaning, pruning, you name it.
The Central Park Conservancy was determined to turn Central Park's rapid decline in the 1970s around by restoring it to its former grandeur as envisioned by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park's 19th century designers. The group was founded in 1980 and has since been responsible for the daily maintenance and operation of the park. Amazingly, 85% of Central Park's annual budget of $37.4 million comes from fundraising and investment revenue. The Conservancy crews manage 250 acres of lawns, 24,000 trees, 150 acres of lakes and streams, and 130 acres of woodlands; they maintain 9,000 benches, 26 ball fields, 21 playgrounds, 55 sculptures/monuments, and 36 bridges; they also provide parks around the country with priceless technical advice.
The Central Park Conservancy has been integral in preserving and modernizing one of the greatest urban spaces in the nation. With the support of the city and its inhabitants, Central Park will continue to develop and thrive as New York's favorite outdoor space for future generations.
Visit the Central Park Conservancy's website to learn how you can play a role in the preservation of Central Park.

Most drivers have been stuck in a traffic jam at one point or another. Some of the jams are caused by an accident or closed lanes. Other traffic jams crop up with seemingly no reason.
A group of mathematicians at MIT is working on the development of a new model to explain how and why these so-call phantom traffic jams form. According to the researchers, these types of phantom traffic jams form when there are a lot of cars on the road and small disturbances like a driver hitting the brakes too hard or getting too close to another car. These little disturbances can escalate into a self-sustaining traffic jam.
The model developed by the team of researchers may help road designers build roads to minimize the possibility of phantom traffic jams. The key to the study is the discovery that the mathematics of these jams called jamitons are very similar to the equations used to describe the detonation waves produced by explosions.
The discovery of the jamitons allowed the researchers to solve traffic jam equations first theorized in the 1950's. The equations are reportedly similar to those used in fluid mechanics and model traffic jams as self-sustaining waves. The equations allowed the researchers to calculate the conditions that case a jamitons to form and how fast the jamiton will spread.
According to the researchers, once this type of jamiton forms it is nearly impossible to break up and a driver's only choice is to wait the jamiton out. The researchers say that the new model can help road designers to determine speed limits that are safer and find stretches of road where accidents are more likely.
One of the researchers, Aslan Kasimov, said, "We wanted to describe this using a mathematical model similar to that of fluid flow." Kasimov and his team say that they discovered that jamitons have a sonic point that separates traffic flow into upstream and downstream components. Communication of the cause of the jamiton to drivers it the downstream segment of traffic is impossible say the researchers.
quote: Of course traffic jams are another situation, but when speeds are approaching 60+ MPH you have absolutely no excuse.
quote: If a guy is coming on the ramp at speed and you refuse to let give him a 1/2 second release of the gas, then you are the one forcing the cut off. If he slams into you of course legally he was supposed to yield, but every class/book/teacher out there says you should make room if possible.

Erie Catholic bishop raises concerns over revised contraception mandate
The head of the Catholic Diocese of Erie has joined his colleagues in asking the federal government to further modify the contraception mandate in the new national health-care law.
Bishop Lawrence T. Persico said the administration of President Barack Obama, which announced the revised mandate a week ago, still must broaden the definition of religious organizations exempt from the mandate and must safeguard the rights of private businesses that, like the Catholic Church, oppose artificial birth control.
Persico, however, also echoed his fellow bishops in holding out the possibility for compromise with the Obama administration, which has pledged to work with the bishops and other religious leaders to address their concerns. The public comment period for the revisions lasts for 60 days, and the final mandate is to go into effect in August.
"The bishops of this country have long supported the right of every person to have access to the best quality health care possible," Persico said in a statement. "We are hopeful that with continuing dialogue we can reach the goal of universal health care that falls within the rightful parameters of religious freedom and freedom of conscience."
Persico commented after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops rejected the revisions on Thursday. Among other things, the conference said the government needs a bigger buffer between religious charities and any third party that arranges for contraception coverage.
"For one thing, the exemption as presently formulated effects little, if any, substantive change," Persico said of the revised mandate. "The government's definition of 'religious employer' is extremely narrow in that it defines 'freedom of religion' as little more than 'freedom of worship.' Houses of worship are exempt -- but religious organizations such as Catholic Charities, hospitals and colleges are not.
"I find equally troubling the fact that there is no conscience protection for employers who continue to be held bound to the mandate, under penalty, to act contrary to their faith and the teachings of their church."
The Department of Health and Human Services, which developed the mandate as part of the Affordable Care Act, had no reaction Thursday to the criticism of the bishops' conference, pointing only to an earlier pledge that the government wants to find a solution that would provide the coverage to women while respecting religious concerns, the Associated Press reported.
The revisions would simplify the definition of religious organizations, such as churches, that are exempt from the mandate. The new rules also propose a system for employees of nonexempt religious organizations, such as Catholic hospitals and social-service organizations, to receive free coverage for contraception without their employer directly paying for it.
Persico was the lead plaintiff in a federal suit the 13-county Catholic Diocese of Erie filed over the original mandate in federal court in Erie in May, citing the church's First Amendment right of religious freedom. The diocese joined 11 other Catholic dioceses and organizations in suing over the mandate nationwide.
U.S. District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin on Jan. 22 dismissed the Catholic Diocese of Erie's suit as premature, ruling that the government had promised to modify the revisions. McLaughlin said the diocese could refile the suit if the revisions failed to meet its concerns.

What an independent school can offer
A woman is seated among friends for lunch. In her purse is a collection of local school open house mailings and her child's most recent report card.
"I've just given up on believing Jane can be challenged in middle school. Her report card reflects only letters and numbers that tell me nothing beyond the fact that she is earning straight A's and showing advanced effort in coursework that I experienced 20 years ago."
Her friend responds: "At least there are options for your daughter. My son hates going to school every day, and he is only 8 years old. His report card communicates that he is putting in very little effort. It would be tough for me to even explore other school choices because they might not see beyond his poor effort. I just don't know how to motivate him to do better."
The mothers worry that their children's current school settings are falling short of expectations.
Lunch conversations between friends can often highlight parental concerns when it comes to schools and academic or social progress. Fortunately, we live in a community where school choice is viable, which has the potential to enrich the discourse.
School admissions directors agree that attending open houses and scheduling visits are effective paths to begin comparing educational experiences. Kim Connelly, director of admissions at Erie Day School, recommends that parents go beyond the open house and visit the school campus during a school day in an effort to sense the level of student engagement, the teacher interaction and overall school culture. There is much to be learned beyond the website and an open house tour. Parents and students alike need to find a school that mirrors their values and expectations.
The goal of choosing a school is to match a child's abilities, interests and needs with the most appropriate educational setting. This decision can be made at the beginning of your child's educational path or at some point along the journey.
Many parents pursuing options recognize the educational approach of the local parochial schools but do not have a full understanding of what an independent school can offer a child. It is important to note that while there are more than 2,000 independent schools in the United States, there is only one in the Erie area: Erie Day School.
In brief, independent schools promote:
- High academic standards -- Independent schools foster intellectual curiosity, stimulate personal growth, and encourage critical thinking. A larger percentage of students at independent schools are enrolled in advanced courses than in public, parochial and other private schools.
- Small classes and individual attention -- Independent schools have low student-teacher ratios that encourage close connections with students. The median ratio in National Association of Independent Schools schools in 2011-12 was 8.8 students to 1 teacher.
- Excellent teachers -- Educators usually teach in their areas of expertise and are passionate about what they do. With more autonomy within the classroom, teachers are able to develop a full understanding of how each student learns and what interests and motivates each individually.
- Education for the whole child -- Independent schools nurture not just students' intellectual ability and curiosity but also their personal and social growth and civic conscience. Opportunities extend well beyond the classroom to school leadership experiences, athletic competitions, artistic pursuits and community service.
- Inclusiveness -- Schools maintain diverse and vibrant student communities and respect each family dynamic. In 2012-13, 36 percent of Erie Day School's enrollment represented a minority. In addition, over 60 percent of students receive scholarships or financial assistance.
- A community of parents who actively participate in their children's education -- Independent schools promote regular communication among students, parents, and teachers to ensure everyone is working toward the same goals for the student.
School choice is important. And most important: An independent school education will pay dividends for a lifetime, as those students have a greater likelihood of completing a bachelor's degree or graduate degree. (A 2004 National Educational Longitudinal Study showed that 76.3 percent of NAIS students had completed a four-year degree or higher during the course of the 12-year study compared to 65.9 percent of Catholic school students and 38.1 percent of public school students.)
KAREN TYLER has been head of Erie Day School since 2011. She received her doctor of education degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She wrote this to highlight National School Choice Week (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Um, no.
I have to say I'm grateful that the only "symptom" I get when I IF is a little periodic tummy rumbling (which can be a bit embarrassing when you work in a small, quiet office). But I've never had the shakes, headaches, weird feelings, whatever that some others seem to get when they haven't eaten for a while.
So - kind of opposite to you!

August 6, 2012
On Monday evening there is to be a commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre, organised by the UK Jewish Community, the Israeli Embassy and the Israel Olympics Committee. The Israel Olympics Committee invited Jacques Rogge. A draft of his speech has found its way into my hands:
Good evening
I am keenly aware that some of you feel that the IOC should have included a one-minute silence in the Opening Ceremony for the Israelis who were murdered at Munich 40 years ago. Tonight I can reveal why I did not give in to this pressure.
The reality is that my hands were tied. 56 of the 205 nations competing in the Games are members of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and they all would have walked out of the Games if we had had the one-minute silence. Other sympathetic nations would have followed. Then our corporate sponsorship would have been severely threatened. Politics can never be allowed to intrude on the Olympics. Just look at those Je.... I mean Israeli - judo players who mischievously tried to provoke the Lebanese judo team by training in the same gym. Fortunately we were able to solve the problem by fixing a separation curtain between the two teams making the ...Israelis.... - invisible.
As Jibril Rajoub , President of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, said to me in a letter: "Sports are meant for peace, not for racism... Sports are a bridge to love, interconnection, and spreading of peace among nations; it must not be a cause of division and spreading of racism between them [nations]."
Some of you will say that the Opening Ceremony included remembrances of the Londoners murdered on 7th July 2005 by fanatical Islamists and it also included photos of recently departed loved ones of audience members. Yes but that was different – none of those who died were .... Israelis... - and we knew that commemorating them would not cause a walkout or threaten corporate sponsorship. These poor victims did not die as a result of a political act, neither did they provoke one. Politics can never be allowed to intrude on the Olympics.
The same held true for the Georgian athlete, Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died in a luge training accident before 2010 Winter Olympics. Yes, I officiated at a commemoration for him at the Opening Ceremony. But that was different. He wasn't a J ... I mean Israeli - and I knew that commemorating his death would neither cause a walkout not threaten corporate sponsorship. He didn't die as a result of a political act. Politics must never be allowed to intrude on the Olympics.
My friends, the moment that we let politics intrude on the Olympics is the moment that the Olympic movement dies. That's what I told Jibril Rajoub who heads the Palestinian Olympic Committee and used to advise Khalil al Wazir – aka Abu Jihad – the commander of Black September in the early 1970s (including when they committed the Munich Masacre). And that's what I told the Saudis - I am proud to say that any Saudi woman who is good enough to make their Olympic team can now do so. Some people say that sportswomen in Saudi Arabia do not have the same opportunities as sportsmen. But that's internal politics and politics must never be allowed to intrude on the Olympics.
My friends: enjoy the rest of the politics-free Games!
Not surprisingly Jacques Rogge (who has no democratic legitimacy) did not give this speech. Instead he reportedly gave one full of meaningless hypocritical platitudes.
"Reportedly" ....... because together with one other, I walked out.....
Unbelievably there were those who applauded him ...
The two Munich widows present, Ankie Spitzer and Ilana Romano, rightly and movingly did not hold back in their criticism of the IOC. Neither did Israeli Minister Limor Livnat.
Postscript 2 :
BBC mentions our shouts of 'Shame!' (on the IOC) during Ankie Spitzer's powerful and moving speech and has part of her speech.
Postscript 3:
Montréal. Thursday, August 9, 2012.
Count Dr. Jacques Rogge
International Olympic Committee
Château de Vidy
Lausanne, Switzerland
Dear Doctor Rogge:
I am writing you as a Member of the Canadian Parliament and mover of a parliamentary motion which was unanimously passed by the Canadian House of Commons on June 13, 2012. The motion, which called for a moment of silence at the 2012 London Olympics in memory of those Israeli Olympians killed 40 years ago – where you yourself were an Olympic athlete - read as follows:
That the House offers its support for a moment of silence to be held at the 2012 London Olympics in memory of those killed 40 years ago in the tragic terrorist events of the 1972 Munich Olympics wherein 11 Israeli athletes were murdered.
Indeed, civil society groups, Parliaments and political leaders around the world have been calling on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to hold a moment of silence at the London Games, with the Canadian Parliament the first to unanimously support this call – an expression of our responsibility to remember – le devoir de mémoire.
Nor is such a memorial, as you best know, without precedent. Two years ago during the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, the IOC, observed a moment of silence – over which you presided, appropriately enough – in memory of the Georgian athlete, Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died tragically in a training accident. Ten years ago, in 2002, the IOC memorialized the victims of 9/11, though that terrorist atrocity neither occurred during the Olympic Games nor had any connection to them. The duty of remembrance was justification enough.
In particular, after eschewing a memorial for the murdered Israeli athletes and coaches at this year's opening ceremony, the IOC then – and again, rightly – memorialized the victims of the 2005 London Bombings (as it happens, I was in London at the time visiting as Minister of Justice), though this terrorist atrocity, as well, had no nexus to the Olympic Games.
The refusal of the IOC, therefore, to observe a moment of silence on the 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre – the slaughter of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches for no other reason than that they were Israelis and Jews – is as offensive as it is incomprehensible. These eleven (11) Israeli Olympians were part of the Olympic family, they were murdered as members of the Olympic family, they should be remembered by the Olympic family at these Olympic Games themselves.
This steadfast reluctance not only ignores – but mocks – the calls for a moment of silence by Government leaders, including US President Barack Obama, Australian PM Julia Gillard, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird, and most recently by his Excellency the Canadian Governor General David Johnston; the calls by various Parliaments including resolutions by the US Congress as well as by Canadian, Australian, German, Italian and UK Parliamentarians; and the sustained international public campaign and anguished civil society appeals.
As well, the IOC decision ignores that the Munich massacre occurred at the Olympic games not par hasard, but precisely because the Olympic games provided a venue of international resonance for such an attack; the decision ignores that, as Der Spiegel put it, the killings were facilitated by the criminal negligence and indifference of Olympic security officials themselves; and finally, and most disturbingly, it ignores and mocks the plaintive pleas – and pain and suffering – of the families and loved ones, for whom the remembrance of these last forty years is an over-riding personal and moral imperative, as expressed to you yet again in London this week.
Accordingly, it is not hard to infer – as many have done - that not only were the athletes killed because they were Israeli and Jewish, but that the moment of silence is being denied them also because they are Israeli and Jewish. Professor Deborah Lipstadt – a distinguished historian of antisemitism and one normally understated in her attribution of anti-Jewish or anti-Israel motifs - makes the connection. In her words:
The IOC's explanation is nothing more than a pathetic excuse. The athletes who were murdered were from Israel and were Jews—that is why they aren't being remembered. … This was the greatest tragedy to ever occur during the Olympic Games. Yet the IOC has made it quite clear that these victims are not worth 60 seconds. Imagine for a moment that these athletes had been from the United States, Canada, Australia, or even Germany No one would think twice about commemorating them. But these athletes came from a country and a people who somehow deserve to be victims. Their lost lives are apparently not worth a minute."
As Ankie Spitzer, widow of the murdered Andre Spitzer put it, regretfully, "I can only come to one conclusion or explanation: This is discrimination. I have never used that word in 40 years, but the victims had the wrong religions, they came from the wrong country.
Dr. Rogge, you, as a bearer of memory as a Belgian Olympian yourself in the 1972 Munich Games, have poignantly remarked just days ago, "the Munich attack cast terrorism's dark shadow on the Olympic Games. It was a direct assault on the core values of the Olympic movement."
This Sunday, when the London 2012 Olympic Games conclude, let us pause to remember and recall each of the murdered athletes. Each had a name, an identity, a family – each person was a universe:
Moshe Weinberg
Yossef Romano
Ze'ev Friedman
David Berger
Yakov Springer
Eliezer Halfin
Yossef Gutfreund
Kehat Shorr
Mark Slavin
Andre Spitzer
Amitzur Shapira
Dr. Rogge, it is not too late for the IOC to remember these murdered Olympians as Olympians at the London Olympic Games this Sunday – it is not too late to be on the right side of history.
Irwin Cotler, P.C., O.C., M.P.

One might ask, "What are neurologists doing in a place like this?" in relation to a book on fetal medicine. However, as the editors noted in their preface, the field of neonatal neurology has expanded so much in the past decade that it is only natural that interest in fetal neurology would follow. Clearly, early fetal development is the "money area" where the foundations of all subsequent neurological integrity are laid. Also, with increasing knowledge that intrapartum events are far less important than earlier events in producing the unholy trinity of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy, neurological research and clinical efforts have logically turned toward the prenatal period to help increase our understanding of congenital neurological disorders in children.

Follow That Cat!
When Sockington (with Help from His Owner) Tweets, More Than 1.5 Million People Tune in
Sockington's Twitter page logo
@SOCKINGTON: YES THAT IS RIGHT PEOPLE MAGAZINE IS HERE FOR A PHOTO SHOOTplease get one of my good side WHO AM I KIDDING ALL SIDES ARE GOOD HERE 7:37 AM Mar 29th
APRIL 5 @sockington: "Unsure which is better windowsill or couch Obviously a sleep test is in order Be back soon... zzzzzzz."
People often wonder what pets are thinking. No more: Sockington, a 6-year-old former stray from Waltham, Mass., helpfully records his (largely unpunctuated) musings on Twitter. And what's on an average house cat's mind? Mostly what you'd expect: eating, napping and feeling superior to his human companion-in this case Jason Scott, a historian, to whom Sockington has outsourced the tedium of actually typing.
"Socks has an extremely strong personality," says Scott, 39, whom Sockington calls "Fatty" online. An early Twitter adopter who began his cat's page in 2007, Scott found "it wasn't hard to make Sockington's real life into stories." What he didn't expect is how many people would read them. Yet as of mid-April, Sockington has 1.5 million followers-nearly three times as many as Tom Cruise!-making him the most-read pet on the site. Fans have written love letters, started a club (Socks Army) and composed tribute songs ("Sockington, I got your back"). But so far Scott has resisted turning his cat into a cash cow. "We've been contacted by agents. But I'd rather people say, 'Remember Sockington the cat?' Rather than: 'Remember Sockington? He was really good until that book.'" Sockington too has stayed true to himself, despite his fame. Proof: FEB 26 @sockington: This sudden burst of media attention is nice and all but let us focus on the issues folks For example I still lack a bed made of salmon.
