President Barack Obama has chosen "forward" as his re-election campaign slogan - but that will not play well here in West Virginia.
As Obama's campaign was touting an alleged decrease in the unemployment rate nationally, the number of jobless Mountain State residents increased.
And as the White House and, unfortunately, a few liberals in West Virginia were insisting the war on coal and inexpensive electricity is a figment of conservatives' imaginations, the bulk of job losses in our state was in mining and logging.
State officials reported this week the unemployment rate in West Virginia went up by one-tenth of a point to 7.6 percent last month. That may not sound like much, but it represents a drop in total employment of about 3,200 men and women.
During the past year, the number of people with jobs in this state has plummeted by about 10,000. That includes 5,600 jobs in mining and logging.
In the Northern Panhandle, unemployment is, in general, even higher than the state average. In one local county, Wetzel, 10.6 percent of the workforce was unemployed when the most recent state report was issued.
Yet Obama insists he is moving the country "forward." And he claims he isn't involved in a campaign to wreck the coal industry.
At one point during the election campaign, Obama berated his opponent, Mitt Romney, insisting the challenger's math just didn't add up.
Romney has described himself as a friend of coal. He understands coal-fired power plants are needed to keep reasonably priced electricity flowing to tens of millions of American families and businesses. His jobs program should mean more employment throughout the nation, including here.
We Mountain State residents have had cause in the past to believe we were simply forgotten in Washington. That cannot be said of the Obama administration, which is actively working against West Virginia.
Forward? Yes - but not under Obama. Romney is the state's only hope of progress, not continuing decline.

The moon played hide-and-seek between the clouds in the skies above Central Maui on Monday night. As the time for the total eclipse neared at about 9 p.m., the veil of clouds cleared for a moment to reveal a reddish, orange moon. This photo was taken at Waiehu Terrace on Monday. This is the first of a tetrad, four consecutive total eclipses with no partial ones in between. The next one will be in October, followed by another in April 2015 and finally in September 2015. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes within the Earth's shadow. The reddish, orange color is due to Rayleigh scattering, the same effect that causes sunsets to appear reddish, and the refraction of light by the Earth's atmosphere. Some call this the "blood moon," a signal of major change to come.

I wouldn't be surprised, but would be dismayed if Attorney General Eric Holder keeps his job when the dust settles on the AP phone records case.
The DOJ appears to have broken all the rules - political, legal and ethical - of tracking down a government source of a leak. They spread a wide net, subpoenaing two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for the Associated Press.
Mistake one: No one casts a net this wide in a search for the source of national security leaks, and even more amazingly some judge signed off on it. It is a fishing expedition that also collected phone numbers of people who AP reporters might have contacted for stories that are totally unrelated to this particular government leak. That is unacceptable.
Mistake two: By targeting the press, the DOJ is using a third party (one that has Constitutional protections) to find the government leaker, or at the very least, intimidate others within government from sharing information with the press. I'm not saying that the press has a right to classified information. However, this the lazy man's investigation, one that should have stayed within the walls of the government.
Mistake three: Generally, law enforcement makes an effort to obtain reporters' notes or conversation. This requires notifying the news organization - which rightly would respond "none of your business." But this would be straight-forward request, that would be answered with a straight-forward rejection. Then the government would have to decide whether they should wage a court battle. The best I can tell, the AP learned of the probe into phone records after the fact, and the reason is the government cited an overly broad exemption that allows the government to delay notification if that act might negatively impact the investigation.
Mistake four: Did Holder sign off on this tactic?. If he did, he made a ridiculously bad decision. And if he didn't, he still bears responsibility because the buck stops at the desk of the guy at the top, i.e. the attorney general.
Mistake five: This less a matter of Holder an more the laws put into place after Sept. 11, 2001. The government has far greater access to phone and Internet records, and the phone companies are in a odd place - the extent to which they cooperate on records requests from law enforcement or protect customer privacy. As I recall, Congress even immunized the carriers from liability if the attorney general asserted that the companies were assisting a vital government investigation.
The buck has to stop with Holder.

FOR a political party that often goes cap in hand to China, Iran, Angola and, once upon a time, Libya, for money, the African National Congress (ANC) has a lot of cheek wondering aloud and in a threatening way whether Mamphela Ramphele's new "party platform", Agang, is being supported by "foreign funds".
So what if it is? It's who would vote for it that matters.
The reaction to her announcement last week was amazing. Anyone would think she had to come out immediately with an alternative industrial policy (mind you, given the quality of Rob Davies's Industrial Policy Action Plan 2, which recommends we take on the Asians at building ships, devising an alternative to it shouldn't be too difficult), have a Reserve Bank governor waiting in the wings, a "cure" for rape and violence against women and a raft of policies from the future of digital communications to regulations governing the ratio of sand to cement in rural schools.
The people doing all this demanding are, needless to say, middle-class urbanites with access to the media. They know nothing about where Ramphele is going to hunt because they never spend any time in rural South Africa, and if or when they accidentally find themselves in the middle of nowhere, they mostly can't understand anything going on around them.
But it's in rural South Africa that this woman has her heart. She can speak to rural women in a way no one has before, and to the men too.
To headmen and chiefs she will ask why, when the ANC has failed time and time again to deliver on its promises, will they still vote for it? And when they tell her it is because they trust the ANC, she will tell them they are thinking like children.
Idiots will be given time on radio shows to complain that she didn't "transform" the University of Cape Town (whatever that means) when she was vice-chancellor or that she didn't "transform" the mining industry when she was an independent director of a few companies. But none of the idiots will ever be asked if they know what she did during the struggle. That's usually because the radio-show hosts don't have a clue either.
She was Steve Biko's lover; that's about all they know. What they don't know is how privileged Biko was to be with her. Think about rural South Africa and about how vulnerable the ANC is in the countryside outside of KwaZulu-Natal. Ramphele is from Limpopo. She also has huge traction in the Eastern Cape, where she once started a successful clinic, despite apartheid police harassment. Then think about rural women. Who speaks to them? The ANC Women's League? Don't make me laugh. Who will stop Ramphele going where she wants and talking to whom she wants?
And, oh, she doesn't need a million votes. A profile of her in City Press on Sunday started with "Her Mission: To beat the ANC in next year's national election." I doubt it somehow. Her mission is to get back to the talks she has been holding with the Democratic Alliance (DA) for a very long time, but on different terms. Only the DA has the political machine to allow the right leader to level the playing field in South Africa.
This time, when she gets back to the table with Helen Zille, it will be with a political constituency (my guess is mainly rural women, a chunk of the black middle class and not too few whites who can't stomach the thought of voting for a party led by Jacob Zuma) behind her. She won't be nearly as big as the DA, but she will have gotten her hands dirty and those rural women will be worth their weight in gold to a DA that just can't get to them. You also have to bear in mind the way power shifts in rural areas. The women are strong and hold the fort, as it were, and the men are often away working. An election outside of a traditional holiday period in a rural area would be a very different proposition to one if the men were around.
Black consciousness (BC), not the ANC, was what triggered the events of 1976 and which eventually led to this country's liberation. Now, as then, the BC people don't whine on and on about apartheid. They freed first their minds and then themselves. While the ANC still has nothing but apartheid and the damage it did left in its political armoury, it should be more than wary of an authentic African woman. Am I a fan? You bet I am.

California State Northridge announces the addition of new wrestling program-
The State of California and the NCWA's West Coast Conference (WCC) welcomed it's newest college wrestling program at Cal State Northridge. CSUN will be headed by Coach Evan Hess who was lured away from USC to build the Matadors new team.
The team will begin full practices this fall and begin competition in early November. Hess who has been at the Helm of the Trojans program for just two seasons saw the need to expand wrestling competition in California and jumped at the chance to add another wrestling program to the Southland area. His sorrow in leaving USC is only offset by the excitement of starting a program from the ground up in Northridge.

First Team Offense
Alex Bishop - Junior, Valencia
Bishop had a year that puts him up there with the great quarterbacks of this decade - Matter, Moore, Norton, Longshore, Herrick and Rodriguez. Bishop completed 179-of-240 passes for a 74.6 percent completion percentage in 2009 - the third-best mark in state history. His 78.4 percent regular-season mark (138-for-176) is the best in state history. Bishop also established a school record with 36 touchdown passes. He also passed for 3,416 yards with only seven interceptions and ran for another 516 yards.
Running Backs
Collin Keoshian - Senior, Santa Clarita Christian
Regardless of how many players were on the field with him, Keoshian was one of the SCV's most dominant forces in football. Despite questions about his competition at the 8-Man level, his rushing statistics, playmaking ability and overall athleticism earned him a scholarship to BYU. In 2009, he pushed his career tally to 102 rushing touchdowns. Keoshian put up 1,709 rushing yards and 36 rushing touchdowns in 13 games during his final season at SCCS. He also threw seven touchdown passes and caught four scores to go with 239 receiving yards. Keoshian added two sacks and two interceptions on defense as well as nearly 100 tackles.
Jake Stephens - Senior, Hart
One of the big reasons Hart's passing game took off in 2009 was Stephens, whose numbers on the ground (185 carries, 901 yards, 14 touchdowns) made sure defenses respected the running game. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry and also caught 23 passes out of the backfield.
Wide Receivers
Ty MacArthur - Senior, Hart
MacArthur's breakout season at receiver brought an extra dimension to Hart's spread offense. The speedy senior hauled in 59 receptions for a league-leading 1,097 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he averaged 18.5 yards per catch.
Zach Tartabull - Senior, Valencia
Tartabull lived up to the hype in 2009 and was the Vikings' leading receiver with 42 catches for 890 yards and 12 touchdowns. His numbers might have been better had Valencia not had so many offensive weapons. His biggest play of the season might have come on defense, though. In the first round of the playoffs, Tartabull made an interception on a two-point conversion attempt with 10 seconds to play in Valencia's 28-27 win over Thousand Oaks.
Drew Wolitarsky - Freshman, Canyon
Don't be fooled by his class standing. Wolitarsky can and did play with the best of them in 2009. On the year, the 6-foot-1-inch wide receiver caught 40 passes for 773 yards and six touchdowns. In week 2 against Highland, he had 137 yards and two scores. On Oct. 23 against Hart, Wolitarsky added another two touchdowns. Four times this season, he surpassed the 100-yard mark.
Offensive Lineman
Kevin Carrington - Senior, Valencia
The three-year starter was one of the more physical and strong linemen in the Foothill League. He saw spot duty on the defensive line as well.
Shane Moniz - Senior, Canyon
Moniz was an anchor up front for the Cowboys and shook off injuries late in the season to help Canyon win its final two games of the regular season. Despite a revolving door in the backfield, Moniz helped ensure that whoever was lined up at running back would have an opportunity to make a play.
Nick Oliva - Senior, Valencia
The towering lineman was a great pass blocker and the best puller on the Valencia offensive line. The left tackle's long arms allowed him to lock down on opponents to great success.
Nolan O'Sullivan - Senior, Valencia
The Vikings' center was a leader on the offensive line. He called the plays, set the Vikings' blocking schemes and was a physical presence for Valencia.
Oliver Woodhead - Junior, Hart
Hart had to rebuild both its offensive and defensive lines, and the play of Woodhead helped smooth the transition. He stood up opposing linemen at the line of scrimmage and did a good job of blocking downfield.
First Team Defense
John Cornelius - Junior, Hart
Cornelius continued Hart's tradition of strong linebacker play by recording 102 total tackles, 19 more than the Indians' next-closest defensive player. He also intercepted a pair of passes, broke up three more and recovered a fumble.
Joseph Figueroa - Senior, Golden Valley
In the midst of a rough season, Joseph Figueroa led the Grizzlies' defense day in and day out. He followed last year's league-leading 129 tackles with 96 this season, which was good enough for second. He also forced two fumbles and was valuable in pass coverage, returning three interceptions for 57 yards with six passes defended.
Ryan Gorman - Sophomore, Valencia
Gorman was steady in 2009, registering 58 tackles and making three sacks. Just a sophomore, Gorman figures to be a key returner for a 2010 Valencia squad with unfinished business.
Trevor Smyth - Junior, Valencia
Smyth was quietly solid from the linebacker position for the Vikings. He made 68 tackles and five sacks, four of which came in a Nov. 6 win over Saugus.
Defensive Lineman
Justyn Eddins - Junior, Hart
Thanks to the contributions of Eddins, Hart's defensive line overcame the loss of all four starters from a year ago. His 11 sacks easily led the team, and he added 51 tackles and two fumble recoveries to his stat sheet.
Darrol Mitchell - Senior, Valencia
The high-energy, big-personality lineman was the valley's most unstoppable defensive end. His 22 sacks were two short of the school record. He paired the sack total with 74 tackles. Mitchell also forced a fumble.
Kevin Rush - Senior, Valencia
The quiet defensive lineman was a major force on the Vikings' defensive front. The 2009 Foothill League Defensive Player of the Year saw double teams throughout the season and still managed to register 12 sacks and 47 total tackles. Rush also recovered three fumbles and scored a touchdown on Oct. 16 against Canyon.
Ryan Wermich - Junior, Valencia
Wermich was the vocal leader on the valley's best defensive line. More than that, he was one of the area's best defensive players, registering 79 tackles and 12 sacks, including three in the postseason. Wermich was the Foothill League's Lineman of the Year.
Jabari Howard - Senior, Valencia
Howard was a key member of Valencia's shut-down secondary. He intercepted seven passes, recovered a fumble and made 37 tackles.
Branden Pistone - Senior, West Ranch
West Ranch lined up Pistone everywhere on defense, and he responded by doing everything for the unit. He recorded 88 total tackles, picked off three passes, registered two sacks and defended four passes.
Brock Vereen - Senior, Valencia
Vereen stepped out of his big brother Shane's shadow in 2009 and had a tremendous season on both sides of the ball. His eight interceptions were a team high. He also registered 51 tackles and a sack. On offense, he caught 24 passes for 529 yards and seven touchdowns.
All-Purpose First Team
Blake Borland - Senior, Hart
Foothill League defenses knew they had to account for Blake Borland. That didn't stop him from catching 47 passes for 700 yards and nine touchdowns. He also drew extra coverage that opened the door for the Indians' other receivers, and he was an effective kick returner and defensive back.
Manny Padron - Senior, Saugus
Arguably the heart and soul of the Centurions in 2009, Pardon caught 40 passes for 630 yards and four touchdowns. He also showed off his versatility by carrying the ball 17 times for another 58 yards and attempting two passes. On Oct. 16 against Hart, he totalled 110 yards and two scores. Defensively, the senior had 34 total tackles and five interceptions, two of them coming on Sept. 11 in a 17-7 win over Pasadena. Padron was also Saugus' primary return man.
C.J. Reyes - Senior, Hart
When Reyes wasn't throwing for 2,731 yards and 25 touchdowns and hitting big plays in the passing game, he was giving Hart an advantage in field position. Reyes had 25 punts for 997 yards, an average of 39.8 yards per kick. He also booted the game-winning field goal in Hart's win over Palmdale. Reyes also rushed for 251 yards.
Second Teams
Jonathan Jerozal - Sophomore, Canyon
Thrust into the starting position to start the year, the young signal-caller exceeded expectations to the tune a 58.1 percent completion percentage (165-for-284) for 2,124 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 68 yards and four more scores.
Connor Eichten - Junior, West Ranch
Stepping into the starting quarterback job admirably, Eichten threw for 1,414 yards and 12 touchdowns against just five interceptions. More importantly, he kept his cool and was a steadying presence for the Wildcats. Against Hart on Nov. 6, he passed for 310 yards and two touchdowns.
Colin Mayhugh - Senior, Santa Clarita Christian
Once Mayhugh turned the corner on a sweep or received clearance from a crushing block, there was little that could stop the Cardinals' elusive back. The speedy rusher raced all over the Heritage League with 1,253 yards at the impressive clip of 9.4 yards per carry. He also had 148 receiving yards and two more scores and passed for 491 yards and six touchdowns.
Zak Snell - Senior, West Ranch
The running back's willingness to grind out tough yardage helped West Ranch's offense control the clock for stretches this season. Snell finished with 743 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.
Trent Hernandez - Junior, Canyon
Amidst injuries that decimated the Cowboys' running back corps, Hernandez rose to the top. Only a junior, he rushed 152 times for 766 yards and three scores. All three touchdowns came in league play consecutively against West Ranch, Golden Valley and Saugus, helping close out a stunning season in which the Cowboys ascended late into a playoff spot. Hernandez added eight receptions for 101 yards.
Da'Jon Hairston - Senior, Hart
Hairston's ability to get open downfield gave opposing defenses problems all season, and he caught 32 passes for 480 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 15 yards per catch.
Shane Habberstad - Senior, Canyon
The senior wide receiver earned every yard and every reception this season. Habberstad had 641 yards and three touchdowns and was always fighting for yards after the catch. His best game came on Sept. 25 against Thousand Oaks in which he had nine receptions for 102 yards and all three of his scores.
Brian Fausett - Senior, Saugus
The senior battled through Saugus' up-and-down 2009 to provide veteran leadership on the offensive line for the Centurions. Fausett consistently opened up holes in the opposing team's defense.
Spencer Boring - Senior, West Ranch
As the anchor of West Ranch's line, Boring led the way for the ground game and kept pass rushers in front of him as the Wildcats' program took a step forward this season.
James McGough - Senior, West Ranch
Whenever West Ranch needed a big play in the passing game, it seemed like McGough found a way to get open. He also found the end zone seven times.
Zach Wermich - Junior, Valencia
The two-year starter at right tackle brought a lot of energy and strength to the Valencia offensive line. He figures to be the leader for the 2010 Valencia offensive line.
Tyger Rodriguez - Senior, Canyon
One of the Cowboys' vocal leaders this season, Rodriguez was also the team leader in total tackles with 47, 44 of them solo. The senior added one sack, one interception and recovered two fumbles. Rodriguez also shared kickoff duties with Mohammad Roknipour and was Canyon's primary punter.
Matt Bruns - Junior, West Ranch
Ignited by a multiple-interception game against Hueneme in the opener, Bruns led the Wildcats this season with five interceptions. He also averaged more than four tackles per game.
Dylan Olson - Senior, Golden Valley
When the Grizzlies needed a clutch defensive play, Olson was one of the few the young squad could steadily rely on. He defended six passes, forced a fumble and recovered two turnovers to help a defense that was constantly in a state of flux due to injuries and early departures.
Jonathan Aguirre - Senior, Saugus
The senior defensive back finished the season with 35 total tackles and tied for the team lead with five interceptions, including two against Golden Valley on Oct. 30. Aguirre also contributed on offense, catching six passes for 102 yards and one touchdown, which served as the game-winner on Oct. 23 to cap off a 97-yard fourth-quarter drive that beat West Ranch 26-22. He also returned a kick 93 yards for a touchdown against Newbury Park on Sept. 25.
Adam Torres - Senior, Saugus
Torres led the Centurions in total tackles with 60 on the season. On Sept. 25 against Newbury Park and Oct. 16 against Hart, the senior linebacker finished the game with nine tackles. Torres added one sack and one pass defended. Offensively, he carried the ball 16 times for 68 yards.
Joe Barbosa - Junior, West Ranch
Among the league leaders in tackles with 79, Barbosa lined up at both defensive line and linebacker and was an emotional leader for the West Ranch defense. He also deflected a couple of passes.
Chris Wolford - Junior, Saugus
The junior finished the season second on the team with 55 total tackles. Wolford added 4.5 sacks, including two on Sept. 11 in a 17-7 win over Pasadena. The linebacker also defended three passes, recovered two fumbles, forced two more and blocked a punt on Nov. 13 against Canyon. Offensively, he caught four passes for 46 yards and one touchdown.
Adam Nowakowski - Senior, West Ranch
Nowakowski recorded 3.5 sacks from his outside linebacker position and also had an interception. He added 39 tackles in eight games this season.
Melqui Lemus - Senior, Saugus
A leader on the line for the Centurions, Lemus finished 25 total tackles this season. The senior also recovered a fumble on Oct. 2 against Taft of Woodland Hills.
Gavin Schelske - Senior, Canyon
Always a source of passion and motivation, Schelske finished the season second on the team with 41 total tackles. Additionally, the senior finished with 3.5 sacks, including two on Nov. 13, when the Cowboys beat Saugus 17-10. Schelske also had eight tackles in the game, all of them solo.
Salvador Arceo - Senior, Hart
With 43 total tackles, two fumble recoveries, two sacks and an interception, Arceo did a little bit of everything for Hart's rebuilt defensive line.
Andrew Avila - Junior, Golden Valley
Injuries and roster problems moved Avila all over the field on offense, and he responded well for the Grizzlies. He led the Grizzlies' ground attack with 486 rushing yards on 100 carries and three touchdowns, and he also led his team in receiving with 13 catches for 143 yards and a score.
Brady Stuart - Junior, West Ranch
Stuart was a bona fide weapon on special teams for West Ranch, frequently sending kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks and booting nine field goals. He also helped the Wildcats control field position with his punting.
Max Rodriguez - Senior, Valencia
Rodriguez gave Valencia another solid offensive option to go to. He caught 29 passes for 633 yards, averaging 21.8 yards per catch. He also scored seven touchdowns.
Honorable Mention
Michael Chandless - Junior, Hart
Jeff Coprich - Sophomore, Golden Valley
Zach Gauthier - Senior, Saugus
Dylan Kawaa - Senior, Canyon

Chances are you know your blood pressure, but what about your BMI? Body mass index signals if you're overweight, obese or just right.
Next time someone wants to check your BMI, don't be surprised if it's not a trainer at the gym but a cardiologist.
"As your body mass index increases we see a higher instance of cardiovascular events, diabetes, high blood pressure," says Lee Memorial Health System cardiologist Dr. Brian Taschner.
Your body mass index, or BMI, looks at the ratio between weight and height.
"The body mass index is actually what we use to define 'obesity' and 'overweight' in our country," says Dr. Taschner.
With two-thirds of Americans falling into one of those categories, some doctors have started referring to BMI as a vital sign.
A normal BMI is less than 25; obesity begins at 30. A high number puts people at an elevated health risk.
"If that person has, in addition to their body mass index being elevated, a waist circumference greater than 40 inches, that puts them into a very high risk category. So it essentially bumps them up a risk category," says Dr. Taschner.
You can take proactive steps today by learning your numbers.
"I think it's helpful. There are tables on the Internet, basically to look up your height and weight and it'll give you your body mass index," says Dr. Taschner.
It's all about getting the skinny on your heart health.

Renewal of Federal Unemployment Benefits Blocked in the House
Posted by: Mitchell Hirsch on Dec 13, 2013
Attempts by Democrats to allow a vote on a reauthorization of federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) were blocked this week. In the House, a proposed amendment to a bipartisan budget bill, which would have extended the EUC program and prevented it from expiring at the end of the year, was rejected by Republican leaders, who would not let it come up for a vote. Late yesterday, the House passed a two-year budget agreement, but failed to address the looming shutdown of federal unemployment insurance for 1.3 million long-term unemployed job-seekers -- and for millions more who would exhaust regular state benefits next year with no access to federal aid, without Congressional action to renew the EUC program. House majority leaders said they would begin a three week holiday recess today even as frustrated supporters of an EUC reauthorization vowed to fight on both during and after the recess.
With the House not scheduled to return until January 7, 2014, it is now virtually assured that federal EUC benefit payments will stop with the week ending December 28. When EUC benefits have lapsed in the past, due to failure to renew the program before expiration deadlines, they have been restored by Congressional action after that lapse. Democrats have vowed to pursue a retroactive renewal of the federal EUC program if it does lapse this time. States have been advised to inform unemployed workers claiming benefits under the EUC extensions to continue to file those weekly claims even after a lapse of the program. Those filings would help facilitate more timely payments of retroactive benefits should the program be restored by Congress after the New Year.
Leading advocates for unemployed workers, meanwhile, were swift to condemn the failure of House leaders to address the need to maintain federal unemployment insurance as the year-end expiration under current law rapidly approaches.
"We are deeply angered that more than one million long-term unemployed workers have been callously disregarded by Congress in its failure to reauthorize federal jobless aid as part of the budget agreement announced last night," Christine Owens, executive director of the National Employment Law Project said Thursday. "While we know that some fought valiantly to include reauthorization of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program in the deal, it appears that House leadership steadfastly refused to consider renewing this vital program as part of budget negotiations. This means they either don't know or don't care about the extreme hardship long-term unemployed jobseekers face and the catastrophic consequences that will follow for many if Congress doesn't stop the EUC program from expiring at the end of this month."
On Wednesday Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Rep. Sandy Levin (D-MI) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) pressed their case at a House Rules Committee session for an amendment to avert the shutdown of EUC benefits. But their partial, 3-month extension proposal, containing budget 'pay-fors' to offset the costs, was flatly rejected by Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), the committe chairman. Mr. Sessions explained that he would not allow consideration of even the temporary extension because of disagreements with Democrats and the White House over totally unrelated issues including taxes and regulations.
Meanwhile in the Senate on Wednesday, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) attempted to bring up his bill for a full-year renewal of EUC on the floor for a vote, but his unanimous consent request was blocked when Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) objected.
On Thursday, following the Rules Committee chairman's rejection of his amendment, Rep. Levin took to the House floor, along with other House Democrats, imploring the House to allow a vote on an EUC extension.
"We want to vote. And you misunderstand if I might say so the issue. If we don't act, on December 28 1.3 million people will lose every cent of unemployment insurance. These are people who have exhausted their state benefits. They have exhausted them. These are people who have been laid off through no fault of their own. They are looking for work," Levin said.
"Historically we have never, never ended these emergency provisions when long-term unemployment has been as high as it is today, 37 percent. We have already reduced the average number of unemployment insurance weeks in this country to 54. I want to point out to the gentleman and everybody else if we don't act it, another 1.9 million unemployed people will lose every cent of their unemployment insurance the next six months."
"So, under this bill SGR is now extended for three months. We asked the Rules Committee to make in order an amendment paid for to extend unemployment insurance for three months. Here's what we said. If we can prevent a 25 percent cut to doctors' pay, surely we can prevent a 100 percent cut for 1.3 million unemployed. And so what's been the response? The answer from House Republicans is this -- an empty box."
After the several attempts to bring up an EUC reauthorization were blocked, NELP's Christine Owens issued a statement which concluded:
"And now, in their haste to scurry off for an early and long holiday vacation break, filled with fundraising events and holiday parties with tables of plenty, House leaders are poised to turn their back on millions of struggling unemployed Americans, bringing to the floor both a budget deal and a fix for doctors' Medicare reimbursements while ignoring the urgent need to renew federal jobless aid. No one disputes the importance of addressing the Medicare reimbursement fix. But it is truly astonishing and deeply shocking that members of Congress can find a way to maintain payment levels for several hundred thousand doctors but cannot find it in their hearts even to permit a vote on preserving modest benefits that 1.3 million long-term unemployed jobseekers and their families rely on to help meet their basic needs."
"NELP calls on Congress to stay in town and do the business of those who elected them to office, and make sure that in a country with such great resources, we don't abandon those struggling the most this holiday season."

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
It's All About Validation
Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
EpiVax received a grant to reengineer Factor VIII (FVIII), the primary therapeutic used to control bleeding for individuals who have acquired or hereditary hemophilia. This project is funded by an SBIR grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a component of the NIH. The grant will provide $528,313 to fund studies that will provide a first proof-of-principle for the redesign program. The studies are anticipated to show that a reengineered FVIII, a protein that is missing or at low levels in most hemophiliacs, does not cause antibody responses in special strains of mice with humanized immune systems and in a mouse model of FVIII.
"This is an entirely novel approach to improving factor VIII therapy," says Anne De Groot, M.D., president and CEO of EpiVax. "We hope to make it possible for persons living with hemophilia to avoid a common side effect of FVIII that is currently in use—the development of inhibitors to the life-saving therapy." Dr. De Groot indicated a whole range of effective and second-generation biologics such as toxins and mAbs might also benefit from the same approach. Research on a novel deimmunized Botox, to be developed by EpiVax, was reported earlier this Spring.
The approach used by EpiVax to redesign proteins is to modify the parts of the proteins that stimulate undesirable immune responses. The approach is called DeFT™, Demmunization of Functional Therapeutics. EpiVax uses computer algorithms to determine which part of the protein might be modified to diminish immune responses while retaining the protein's essential functions. EpiVax uses immunoinformatics and humanized mice in order to make safer, more effective human therapeutics. This approach also offers hope for individualizing deimmunized therapies, also known as immunopharmacogenomics.

Featured Golf News
Door County's Outstanding Orchards at Egg Harbor
When Wisconsin is viewed on a map, it can be loosely compared to a left-handed mitten with its thumb extended north-northeast into Lake Michigan. That thumb - the peninsula that separates the lake from Green Bay - encompasses Door County, one of North America's top-10 vacation destinations and a place where time seems to stand still.
The Orchards at Egg Harbor
Door County has more than 300 miles of shoreline and is known for its quaint harbor towns, beautiful parks, sandy beaches, and - thanks to 11 golf courses - a place to tee it up in a different village just about every day.
Set virtually in the middle of the rolling and wooded region close to the eastern shores of Green Bay, the Orchards at Egg Harbor is widely considered Door County's best public golf course. Designed by William Newcomb, a Michigander who worked with Pete Dye in the early part of his career, the Orchards at Egg Harbor opened for play in 2000 and immediately became the go-to place to play when visiting "The Door."
Carded at 7,206 yards from its back set of four tees, the par-72 track carries a rating of 75.0 and a Slope of 131 but plays at least a few strokes harder because of the constant winds off the massive lake. Newcomb's routing takes advantage of the site's 200-plus acres and two types of terrain: the front nine winds through mature hardwoods and blossoming fruit orchards (thus the name), while the inward half features dramatic elevation changes and a final trio of holes that border a five-acre lake.
The site is free of housing, although a neighborhood is planned for the surrounding area, and the course sports bentgrass from tee to green, one of only two tracks in the county so endowed. For the most part, the course is open and forgiving off the tee but demanding in its greens complexes and on the putting surfaces themselves.
The 4th Green at Orchards at Egg Harbor
Front Nine Builds Confidence
The Orchards at Egg Harbor has a split personality, with a front side that allows confidence-building shots and a chance to score, and a second nine that can take all that away with a few loose swings.
The opener (a 415-yard par-4) plays slightly downhill to a plateau and a green surrounded on three sides by forest. The 406-yard, par-4 second runs back up that incline to a landing area narrowed on the right by a tall pine tree. The toughest hole on the outward half is the 436-yard par-4 fifth, which has a fairway of plateaus and a bunker on the right that runs from the landing area to the green's right edge.
The fescue-lined par-5s (the 572-yard fourth and 555-yard seventh) are both hearty, with the former playing downhill to a green protected short-right by five bunkers and on the left by another deep sand cutout; the latter button-hooks hard to the right over its final 100 yards to an elevated putting surface.
Make hay on the short but dangerous eighth, a 392-yard par- 4 whose green is guarded right-left by a large maple tree and on the right by a deep bunker. No. 9, a 401-yard par-4, moves out of the forest and into the type of terrain players will face on the holes to come.
No. 13 at the Orchards at Egg Harbor
Back Side Has Some Bite
Most golfers feel the back nine at the Orchards at Egg Harbor is the stronger set of holes, and it definitely provides drama with a few blind tee shots, a handful of elevated tees, the ever-present orchards lining the holes, and several intimidating rock walls that add flair.
It would be easy to say there is not one easy hole on the home half. For example, the 427-yard par-4 10th plays up to a landing area and back down to a green guarded left by sand and right by a large grass swale. No. 11, at 233 yards, is the longest and most difficult par-3 on the course. The green is lined by trees on the right and at the rear, and by a meadow of deep fescue left.
The 430-yard par-4 12th is the third-longest two-shotter here, and the tee shot is uphill on both the drive and approach, the latter of which is played to a green devoid of bunkers. No. 13 (the course's longest par-4 at 455 yards) starts with a blind drive to a fairway that brings a speed slot into play for longer hitters. The green is left of a large pond that also wraps around its rear flank. This is the hole that can be seen from Highway 42 (the main road through Door County).
The round at the Orchards at Egg Harbor ends with a postcard-pretty par-3 sandwiched between a pair of stout par-5s. The 577-yard 16th is consistently rated one of the hardest par-5s in northern Wisconsin. Long drivers can reach the three-tiered green in two while others must execute a lay-up in front of the lake. Either way, players will have some decisions on their second shot, especially because the wind batters the final three holes.
The tee on the 195-yard 17th is set 50 feet above the green, making for wonderful vistas and questions about club selection as water looms on three sides of the target. An elevated tee is also found on the closer, a 550-yard par-5, where the drive must carry the lake to find the fairway. The second-shot landing area heads uphill and then it's uphill again to the putting surface.
The Orchards at Eggs Harbor is memorable for its shot-making, superb conditioning and a routing that stays true to the land. Newcomb got everything right here; the course is a must-play for anyone visiting the area.
Door County is surely one of the more serene vacation destinations in the Badger State, and the course represents a modernized version of the area's character. For more information, visit http://www.orchardsateggharbor.com.

Words cannot explain what this club has done for my little sister Amaris. She ran with this club for three seasons. The knowlegde and expertise she gained through the coaching that was implemented through Coach Joel and Coach Sonja was unparralled to any other track clubs in the area of the inland empire. Unlike other clubs, Coach Sonja and Coach Joel teach from a level of experience and first hand knowlegde. Having been athletes them selves, World known athletes even, they were able to govern and illustrate a track program which benefited the participants at a substantial level. Seeing her run year after year and drop her times at nearly every meet was shocking. She literally started off as one of the slowest contestants in the whole region and within a year had proved to be a threat. I will recommend this club to anyone. The Corona Golden Elite Club is the Diamond in the Ruff of the Inland Empire. It is Corona's best kept secret.

Substantial ways, if you want your athlete to get stronger, faster, and have a since of integrity when competing. This is the club for you.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Ask for more Parental Support. And Funding, the club is a non-profit. And like all non-profits. It needs funding.
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
How did you learn about this organization?
I shopped around for track teams and when I came here I was overwhelmed with how it was ran compared to others. So I knew immediately it was the track team for me and my family.

What is in this article?:
- California Gov. Brown Jr., Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, and NOAA Assistant Administrator for Fisheries Eric Schwaab outlined revisions to the proposed Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) that, along with a full range of alternative proposals, will undergo a rigorous public environmental review in the coming months.
The proposal outlined today is based on shared objectives, including:
• Science: In order to determine the benefits of additional habitat and Delta outflow to fish, the State and U.S. governments are developing a process, including independent scientific review, to ensure that science is playing a neutral and informative role in determining a way forward for the BDCP. All parties, including water users, conservation groups and public agencies will be invited to fully participate in the process. Science will guide how to best restore the ecosystem and how much water can be exported.
• Conservation: The BDCP will contain biological goals and objectives to improve the status of a wide variety of listed species and species of concern under the Endangered Species Act, and will quickly implement new habitat projects in the Suisun Marsh and the Delta upon completion of appropriate environmental reviews.
• Cooperation and Governance: State and U.S. governments will work cooperatively with local water agencies, environmental organizations, and Delta governments and districts under a proposed governance structure to achieve an open, transparent, and inclusive process, allowing affected parties to play an appropriate role in the governance and implementation of the BDCP.
• Finance: State and U.S. governments are committed to the "user pay" principle, and the state and federal water contractors agree that the costs of the new water conveyance facility and associated mitigation of that facility will be paid through charges to the water users who would benefit from its development and operation. Habitat and other conservation measures in the BDCP would be financed in part by the contractors, but would mostly be paid by the state over a period of 40 years, with likely additional investment by the federal government through existing programs.
• Adaptive Management: The proposal reflects the shared commitment by state and U.S. governments to incorporate adaptive management to ensure flexibility as factors such as climate change, new invasive species, and unexpected prolonged drought continue to affect the biology and water supplies of the Delta.
• Sustaining Delta Communities: The State and U.S. governments recognize the need to preserve the unique communities and agricultural productivity of the Delta. State and federal agencies will continue investment in the Delta for flood protection, community development, and biological restoration.
• Protecting Upstream Water Users: State and U.S. governments will make sure implementation of BDCP will not result in adverse effects on the water rights of those in the watershed of the Delta, nor will it impose any obligations on water users upstream of the Delta to supplement flows in and through the Delta.
• Improved Water Management Statewide: State and U.S. governments will continue to explore new ways to satisfy competing water demands, including commitments to an Integrated Water Management approach, reducing water demand, increasing water supply, and improving efficiency of operations. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the Santa Clara Valley Water District - the two largest urbanregional water agencies-- have committed to exceed the urban water savings target established in the 2009 Delta Reform Act by saving 700,000 acre-feet a year based on predicted future demands. This includes a commitment by Southern California to annually save more water through conservation and recycling than it receives, on average, from Northern California, as well as a commitment from the Santa Clara County Water District to meet Silicon Valley's future increases in demand through conservation and recycling. With respect to agricultural water use, the Bureau of Reclamation has worked with local water agencies to invest close to $50 million over the last eight years in efficiency improvements in California. Reclamation is now partnering with the Natural Resources Conservation Service to provide funding for projects that improve water management and create new supplies for agricultural irrigation. In the last two years, approximately $15 million in federal funding has been invested in this effort. The State of California has invested more than $47 million in similar programs since 2001.

House torched to teach fire crews
December 2, 2013
MUNCY — The sky was clear Saturday morning until the light-blue house that sits at 501 N. Main St. was set on fire from the inside. But it was no ordinary fire....
Good idea...

One of the best solutions to need for training and abandoned houses. The City should work out an agreement with property owners with delinquent taxes, for example, and use the house for such training. If done correctly, the return on investment is tremendous. And, the tax delinquency is reduced or waived altogether. Win-win-win for all involved.

"The home, abandoned by the former owners because it rests on a floodplain, is set to be demolished by Steinbacher Enterprises, but Muncy Creek Township allowed the fire companies to use it before the demolition." There will be many abandoned floodplain homes for the fire companies to choose from soon.

In an emotional televised address, Musharraf announced he is stepping down as Pakistan's president, resigning to put the country ahead of his own interests.
"For the sake of nation and country today I am deciding to resign from the post. I leave my future in the hand of nation and the people. Let them be the judge and let them do justice," Musharraf said.
The announcement came just as parliament was preparing to impose impeachment charges over Musharraf's recent attempts to assert authoritarian rule.
His popularity tanked last year when he removed dozens of judges, suspended the constitution, and declared emergency rule. It was a move that sparked clashes and rioting throughout the country.
Many Pakistanis believe his close alliance with the United States is to blame for the increasing violence inside their borders.
His political rivals won parliamentary elections last February and have been seeking his removal ever since.
It's a far cry from his former standing, dominating Pakistani politics for eight years.
He came to power in a bloodless military coup in 1999 and became a key U.S. ally after the September 11 attacks in 2001.
Not Going Quietly
In his parting words, he blasted the coalition government for the country's current problems and insisted whatever he did was for the people and for the country of Pakistan.
At the moment, it's unclear who will be his likely successor, but Musharraf must be replaced within 30 days.
Washington will be watching closely - concerned not only about Pakistan's democratic reforms, but maintaining a strategic alliance and keeping a close eye on the radical Islamists within the nuclear-armed country.

Simon Thoumire ("Two-meer") plays the concertina with the chops of Astor Piazzolla, the jazz sensibility of Joshua Redman, and the soul-driven lift that can come only from the Highlands. His original compositions and innovative arrangements of traditional tunes defy cat...more
Simon Thoumire internationally acclaimed concertina virtuoso, has a gift for both traditional Irish and jazz. The founder of Foot Stompin'
Records, Scottish Traditional Music Trust, and Hands Up for Trad, Thoumire established himself as a world-class performer by the age of 26.
Winner of the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Young Tradition Award in 1989, Thoumire joined the Boy's Brigade (65th Edinburgh) as a highland piper at the age of 9, and when he was 12, he received his first concertina, after conceding to the fact that no one around could teach him his desired instrument: the mandolin. By the time he was a teenager, Thoumire was performing in accordion clubs across Scotland, before joining a locally gigging band, with whom he cut his first record.
Then, one day while Thoumire was practicing in his house, the promoter for the Scottish supergroup Silly Wizard walked by and heard him. She immediately introduced him to Alistair Anderson, and the Radio 2 Young Tradition Award, which the 19-year-old Thoumire won in 1989.
In the 1990s, Thoumire recorded several times with Ian Car, and Kevin Mackenzie and Simon Thorpe as the the Simon Thoumire Three which recorded the album Waltzes For Playboys, for Green Linnet in 1994.
In 1997, Thoumire toured the Netherlands with the free-imrov combo Drones in the Bones, and in 1997, he composed the Celtic Connection's Suite for Glasgow's Celtic Connection's festival. 1999 brought a composition, Music for a New Scottish Parliament, and in 2000, The Scottish Requiem premiered.
The Big Day In, Thoumire's first album with pianist David Milligan, was recorded in 2001. The duo traveled throughout Europe and Australia before he cut Experiments in Culture, a modern record featuring real-life recordings of "existence" accompanied by musicians improvising freely over the top.
