Following the bipartisan symbolism of some Republicans and Democrats pairing up to sit beside each other during President Obama's State of the Union address, many lawmakers reacted along party lines to the substance of the address.
Republican House members from Texas criticized parts of Obama's address that they said underscored the Democrat's commitment to increased federal spending and an expanded role for federal government. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Dallas, was less critical, spying "a change in the president's message."
Democrats from Texas were more charitable, welcoming the chief executive's renewed commitment to bolster the fledgling economic recovery to create more jobs.
Here are Texas' lawmakers' comments on the president's address:
Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble
"I think the real issue is, as the president mentioned, spending. I think the Republicans are concerned for one massive spending cuts. The $400 billion saving over ten years, as the President proposed tonight, is not much of a cut at all. That won't help the deficit; that won't help create jobs. He's right, we need spending cuts, but we need massive spending cuts."
"He talked about the energy industry. Once again his comments will actually hurt the petrochemical industry in Texas, the energy capital of the world. He wants to move to complete green energy in this country. We are not there yet; we cannot automatically leave what runs the country because we havent developed that green energy. The regulatory agents-he talked about bringing in the regulatory agencies, thats inconsistent because the EPA has gone overboard, especially in Texas, with his [regulatory] regulations that he is proposing and requiring on the energy industry in the state of Texas."
"We have to secure the board the borders first. Then we have to deal with the issue of immigration. The public doesn't believe that Congress will do both at the same time, because Congress tried that before and all we got immigration reform that was nothing more than amnesty, and we did not get border security. So The American public said, I believe, you show us border security before you talk about immigration reform. And I think that's the way Congress has to deal with it, we secure the borders and we deal with the issue of immigration."
"His proposal is basically more federal spending and federal control over the education in the United States. With federal spending comes federal mandates. Part of the problem school districts are under now is federal mandates that they can't pay for, unfunded federal mandates in education. I hear that frequently from educators. I do not think that Washington has the answers for the education problem in Texas. That is a problem that has to be resolved by the people in Texas. That whole concept, I think the president is going to have difficulty getting more federal control over education through the House. The House is not going to look for more federal control over education."
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Dallas, Texas' senior senator:
"Tonight we saw a change in the president's message, and that is a good sign. Now we have to see the follow through. We have to see the change in policies to bring down the debt, rein in spending, and stop the over regulation of business that is stifling job creation in the private sector.
"When the president passed the 'Stimulus' bill, he called it an investment, but it didn't spur job creation in the private sector. It created government jobs that haven't stimulated the economy.
"I look forward to working in the Senate, with my colleagues in the House, and with the president to create jobs in the private sector and to bring down spending."
Sen. John Cornyn, R-San Antonio:
"President Obama made a lot of promises tonight in his State of The Union Address — just like he's done in previous years. In past State of The Union speeches, President Obama has promised to focus on jobs and the economy, yet our unemployment rate still sits well north of nine percent. He promised to make the hard choices and cut spending, yet his policies have added more than $3 trillion to the national debt — in just the last two years. He promised to work across the aisle on energy policy, but nothing has happened. He's repeatedly promised to make immigration reform a top priority, but has done little more than use it as a talking point around Election Day.
"In Texas we prefer straight talk and promises kept, over grandiose pledges and zero results.
"Tonight, the President said we have to get a handle on our national debt. I couldn't agree more, but I want to see not just talk, but action. A freeze on some parts of the federal budget–as he suggested–would be a small step in the right direction, but his call for new government spending represents a giant step backwards. The best way to restore fiscal discipline in Washington, I believe, is through a Balanced Budget Amendment to our Constitution, which I intend to introduce with dozens of my colleagues very soon – and I hope the White House will endorse."
Rep. Kevin Brady, R-The Woodlands:
"It's not enough to merely try to sound like Ronald Reagan; for our country's sake the President needs to lead like Ronald Reagan. If he hopes to 'out innovate, out educate and out build the rest of the world', he can't continue to out tax, out regulate and out spend our competitors.
If the president continues to go that route, he's in for a fight from me. To restore our prosperity we must free the power of the marketplace because Americans can compete — anywhere with anyone — if we just pry the federal government off their backs."
Rep. Gene Green, D-Houston:
"The President has called on America to work together in a new era where the world and the rules that run it have changed. While there are many debates and discussions that will follow, there must be a singular focus: creating jobs now.
"I absolutely agree with the President in that we 'measure progress by the success of our people.' Right now, people are still hurting. There are those across the country and in our area that are still suffering from a down economy. Last year, Democrats in Congress began work on a 'Make it in America' strategy to rebuild the middle class by strengthening the manufacturing sector. It is absolutely essential that we continue to promote manufacturing jobs at home to ensure our competitiveness abroad. The President says we must invest in education and job training to win the future, and I agree. But at the present, what America needs most are jobs now. We must recapture the world market that we've lost.
"The President also referenced increased research and investments in clean energy to reduce our dependence on oil. While a commitment to reduce our dependence on foreign oil is essential to our nation's security, we must safely return oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico to pre-oil spill levels. This production is essential to local jobs, the local economy, and the nation.
"I look forward to working with my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, in the House and the Senate to create jobs, grow the economy, and accomplish the goals the President has set that will move our country forward."
Rep. Al Green, D-Houston:
"I think the President nailed it when he said we have to do more than sit together tonight, we got to work together tomorrow. That was the line. I recorded it, and I assure you that I will do all that I can to work across lines so that we can make America a better place. The president talked about America being number one, I think that no parties ought to stand for the notion that you can't put America first. If you make America first, then you've got to care about the people. You cant put America first without putting our people first, which mean education has to be first class, which mean transportation system has to be first class, which means that we have to do the things that will cause us to take our proper place back in the world.
"I think (bipartisanship) should continue everyday, the president said it's not just sitting together tonight; it's working together tomorrow. Now that's the {test] not whether we can sit together tonight, now I think this was good, and I don't want in any way to demean what happened tonight or in any way underestimate, but its working together tomorrow that's really important."
Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land
"Sadly, tonight's speech was more of the same. The President cannot claim change when the same stifling economic policies remain in place. With record spending and a staggering $5.3 trillion in national debt, he again asks Congress to target "investment" in costly spending policies that have failed to grow our economy. "Investing" is simply another term for spending taxpayer money.
"Despite a claim of lifting the drilling moratorium, we have yet to see drilling resume in the Gulf of Mexico. We still have an EPA actively working to impose radical and unworkable air regulations on the state of Texas. The Administration still wants to turn NASA from the world's greatest human space flight agency into a global warming tracking station. Costly regulations and reckless spending have only increased uncertainty for the private sector resulting in a lack of economic growth.
"Federal regulations cost the private sector an astonishing $1.75 trillion last year, according to the Small Business Administration. For small firms, regulatory compliance costs an average of $10,585 per employee. We can and must do better.
"The President recommended a five year freeze in annual domestic spending. That is a good start, but spending can and should be reduced to 2008 pre-stimulus levels. And only in Washington is a "freeze" in spending considered a "cut."
"I was encouraged that the President expressed a willingness to look at medical malpractice reform. It has worked in Texas and will help to reduce costs and improve access to quality care across the nation.
"To strengthen our economy, we must cut spending, keep taxes low, and remove unnecessary job-crushing regulations to unleash the power of the US economy."
Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston:
"Tonight, President Obama once again tried to persuade the American people that government should be the mechanism for job creation and that economic recovery is dependent on more government spending. Evidently the president still believes that you can maintain record-high spending levels and pay down the debt at the same time, which defies logic.
"President Obama stated unequivocally that the stimulus would create over 3.5 million jobs and that unemployment would not rise above eight percent. Instead we have record high unemployment and millions of Americans still looking for work. The fact of the matter is that government can't create jobs like the private sector and government doesn't add value to the economy.
"Conservatives recognize that more government spending, programs, and regulations are not the answer. We have already cut our own budgets and repealed a massive entitlement that our nation cannot afford. In just three weeks, Conservatives voted to cut $2.6 trillion in new spending and reduce deficits by $700 billion. We understand that the era of big government and big spending is mercifully at an end. My hope is that the President will finally reach the same conclusion."
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston:
"It was an exciting night. It was a night of attempted unity and I think it worked. I think we genuinely felt good sitting next to our colleagues. I sat next to Republican Pete Olson.
"I gauge the president's speech on what it means to Texas and what it means to Houston. We are an innovative city, a high tech city. We have energy companies that face challenges.
"But I think the president reached out in friendship to the natural gas, solar and wind power industries. Energy companies are adaptable. It's important to us that we stay adaptable.
"I'm also excited by the president calling on us to become teachers. It reminds me of John Kennedy's call to serve our nation."
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin:
"For more than two years the President and his party have had the opportunity to create jobs, improve the economy and cut the deficit. Unfortunately, the President has done just the opposite, embarking on a massive expansion of government and the welfare state. Despite the government's massive spending binge, we still have historic unemployment and the greatest debt in U.S. history. In order to boost private-sector job creation we must cut spending and focus on getting our fiscal house in order.
After millions of Americans went to the polls to overwhelmingly reject runaway government spending, colossal unemployment and the failed policies of the last two years, I am encouraged that the President has finally expressed his willingness to work with Republicans to cut spending and reduce our unacceptable $14 trillion national debt. Without swift action to cut spending, we will chain future generations to debt and rob them of the chance to reach for the American Dream.
Republicans know that a larger and more intrusive government leads to a weaker and less innovative economy. We are working to get Washington out of the way so the private sector can thrive again. I hope that in the weeks and months to come the President will back up his words with action, and fulfill his pledge to work with Republicans to get America back on track."
Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble:
"I think the real issue is, as the president mentioned, spending. I think the Republicans are concerned for one massive spending cuts. The 400 billion over ten years, as the president proposed tonight, is not much of a cut at all. That won't help the deficit; that won't help create jobs. He's right, we need spending cuts, but we need massive spending cuts…
"He talked about the energy industry. Once again his comments will actually hurt the petrochemical industry in Texas, the energy capital of the world. He wants to move to complete green energy in this country. We are not there yet; we cannot automatically leave what runs the country because we haven't developed that green energy. The regulatory agents-he talked about bringing in the regulatory agencies, that's inconsistent because the EPA has gone overboard, especially in Texas, with his [regulatory] regulations that he is proposing and requiring on the energy industry in the state of Texas.
Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Dallas, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee that works to elect Republicans to the House:
"President Obama may have offered a change in tone, but it's still unclear when he will offer the change in his policies that voters asked for on Election Day. Americans ended the Democrats' one-party rule in Washington because they want a government accountable to the people. Unfortunately, the American people heard President Obama call for even more government spending under his familiar sales pitch for innovation and job creation.
"Now two years into his presidency, President Obama has the opportunity to turn his rhetoric into reality by rolling up his sleeves and working with the new Republican Majority to deliver the smaller government, lower taxes, and real job growth that American voters are demanding. It's past time for President Obama to replace his failed economic policies with common-sense solutions that the American people actually support."
Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco, R-San Antonio:
"I have watched the State of the Union Speech on television many times; attending it in person is a powerful reminder of the honor the people of the 23rd District have entrusted me with, and all the hard work we must do as legislators to get our country back on track to economic recovery.
While I am happy to hear the president wants to cut spending, create jobs, and rein in our exploding national debt – I have some advice for the President, cut up your credit cards and stop the spending spree."
On Government Spending:
"The American people spoke loudly in November, they not only want the government to stop spending – they want the government to cut spending. While I applaud that the President is talking about fiscal accountability, his track record doesn't leave me with much hope for success. Over the last two years the President and the Democrats engaged in a spending spree that led to an 84% increase in non-defense discretionary spending. This was at the same time many family budgets were shrinking and small businesses were tightening their belts. With our national debt at a record $14 trillion, I urge the President to join Congress as we work to cut spending and look forward to his proposals in the budget he will release in a few weeks."
Jobs, the Economy, and putting Americans back to work:
"I am pleased that the President recognized that small businesses are the job engine of America. The number one issue the American people want addressed is getting the economy back on track. If the president really wants to help the job creators, he will ease the uncertainty that is currently plaguing our economy caused by job-destroying policy proposals. Over the past 2 years the President and his Democratic allies in Congress went on a spending spree attempting to purchase economic prosperity. Unfortunately, all the American people have gotten in return has been 20 straight months of unemployment at 9% or higher, trillion dollar deficits, and a record $14 trillion debt. President Obama claims he got the message from the American people, therefore he must now understand that we cannot spend our way to economic prosperity. I believe we must cut spending and get our fiscal house in order, thus helping create the right environment to unleash the almost $2 trillion dollars of capital that is currently sitting on the sidelines."
On Tax Reform:
"This is an area where Republicans, myself included, would gladly work with the President. Right now, the tax code is too complex, too costly to comply with, and hinders the competitiveness of American businesses in the world. Any tax reform should make our nation's tax code simpler, fairer, and flatter."
On Trade:
"I was pleased to hear the President wants to move the Korea Free Trade Agreement forward. This trade agreement will be a huge win for American businesses and workers, and we've delayed passing this agreement long enough. However, I strongly urge the President to also move forward 2 other trade agreements: the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, and the Panama Free Trade Agreement. Both these countries are key components of a constructive foreign policy towards our Latin American neighbors and helping create jobs here at home by opening up markets abroad for American exports."
On Border Security:
"With recent news that the President's Administration has cancelled the Virtual Fence and a draw-down of National Guard troops on the Southwest border to begin June 1st, I am most disappointed that the President did not address a plan for border security. With drug cartel activity and cross-border attacks increasing from California through Texas, we must address the dangerous violence on our southern border immediately. Two weeks ago four American workers, simply doing their job in my district, were shot at from Mexico. This is absolutely unacceptable, not just to me but to the people of Texas. In the upcoming weeks I will be reaching out to the President in hopes that we can begin to put together a plan that will protect the people living in a state of fear along the Southwest border."

Text and Photos Kelly Jedlicki
Puffers can exhibit both human and animal characteristics. When hobbyists acquire puffers, they have inherited fish that can exhibit characteristics of toddlers, dogs and cats. Prior to bringing home a puffer, thorough research to address their husbandry needs should be completed.
Puffers, like toddlers and cats, are very inquisitive and curious. They are intrigued with anything that dangles, vibrates or rotates. Things that can peak their interest include powerheads, electrical cords, thermometers and air line tubing. Puffers, like toddlers and dogs, will taste or bite anything at least once. Some may attribute this to being "stuck" in Freud's oral stage of development.
Puffers and Equipment
This Arothron reticularis has four fused teeth that form a beak capable of delivering a powerful bite.
When you picture a pufferfish in your mind's eye, perhaps this classic-looking porcupine puffer pose comes to mind.
Puffers prefer caves or rock ledges that they can squeeze into and feel secure. But sometimes they can knock loosely attached or unattached rockwork or coral formations over onto themselves and other fish.
In the wild and in home aquariums, puffers will taste or eat live sponges off of live rock. While the sponges that grow naturally in the ocean can often be digested, the synthetic materials that are in the aquarium sponges cannot be digested. The sponge filter may be in the tank for days and then, one day, it is demolished. Sponge pieces may be chewed and spit out, which can lead to clogging of overflow boxes, powerheads and pumps. If ingested, sponge pieces can become lodged in the stomach or intestines and become a source for intestinal blockage.
Air line tubing, hoses and ceramic airstones are often a puffer's target for destruction or damage in the aquarium. Many hobbyists rely on emergency battery operated air pumps with air line tubing and ceramic airstones to protect their aquariums in the event of a power outage. Unfortunately, on more than one occasion, tanks have suffered from lack of circulation and oxygen exchange because of puffer-induced damage or destruction of air line tubing and ceramic airstones.
Any pump or powerhead placed into an aquarium is a potential hazard, not only to puffers but also to hobbyists. Puffers can bite through or nick a power cord while "tasting" or "sampling." They can actually damage the integrity of the pump and cause potential electrical stray voltage or electrocution. Damage to the intake or outflow portions can lead to impaired function. Puffers can destroy an entire pump in less than two hours.
Damaged or nonfunctioning pumps can lead to low oxygenation and suffocation of all the fish in the aquarium.
Water-motion devices or pumps that rotate are very intriguing to puffers, and they seem to be drawn to these. The intake caps, filters on pumps and powerheads are often the object of chewing as well.
Food pieces can become lodged on the intake filter cap. In an attempt to remove the food pieces, a puffer can dislodge or destroy them. This can lead to an inadvertent injury to the puffer or other fish that are pulled into the pump or powerhead. Ingested pump or filter cap parts have caused intestinal blockages and the demise of many puffers as well.
Puffer-Safe SubstrateIntestinal blockage can also be caused by the substrate in the aquarium. On numerous occasions, puffers have ingested crushed coral substrates and developed intestinal blockages. Unfortunately, many puffers have died from ingesting crushed coral and then not being able to pass it.
Crushed coral substrate is not a natural substrate for puffers. In nature, puffers will forage the sandy substrate in search of food. Sand can easily be blown out the gills or passed through the intestinal tract. Crushed coral is too large to be passed through the gills and must pass through the intestinal tract. It is abrasive as well as heavy. It will often sit in one area and will not pass. This often leads to a twisting of the stomach or intestines, which may contribute to an inability of food or digestive enzymes, often referred to as juices, to pass through the stomach and intestines.
Diodon holocanthus
Arothron meleagris
Puffer Choices
First choices: These puffers adapt well to aquarium life. They will do well in tanks of at least 100 gallons. They all can grow to 12 inches in length.
Third Choices
Fourth Choices: While these puffers are often available — they should be left to advanced hobbyists only.
Thermometers and HeatersThermometers and heaters in the tank are definitely not advised. Not only are the power cords a source of potential harm, but the thermometer itself can cause injury or death to a puffer. I have seen puffers dead with the entire heater lodged from their mouths to their stomachs. Without a ground fault interrupter (GFI) in this tank, the potential damage to the hobbyist could have been grave. The GFI will sense stray voltage and shut off power to the tank. This will prevent electrocution of the hobbyist.
Artificial Plants, Etc.While plastic or fabric plants, plastic nori feeding clips and dried sea fans do add color to the tank, they are easily destroyed and often ingested. Freshwater decorations, statues, air-driven moving figurines and artificial saltwater coral replicas do not hold up to the teeth of a puffer. They are crushed, and the paint is often chewed, peeled or scraped off by the puffer's teeth. Any of these objects are a potential source of intestinal obstruction.
Other Puffer "Snacks"Corals, invertebrates and macroalgaes are "hit or miss" with puffers. Most Arothron (Tetradontidae) puffers will eventually taste and destroy a reef tank. Most puffers will eat or nibble macroalgae at some time in the aquarium. Diodontidae puffers (porcupine) will usually not harm a coral unless there is a piece of food directly lying or resting on the coral. Puffers can be rambunctious when it is feeding time. Inadvertent toppling and subsequent damage to a coral can occur while the puffer is attempting to beg or swim to get food.
Invertebrates, such as crabs, urchins and snails, are natural foods for puffers. While many hobbyists will report keeping invertebrates with their puffers for extended periods of time, just as many will report their demise. I would not recommend risking the life of an invertebrate by keeping it in the same tank as a puffer.
Fish and invertebrates that bury in the sand are in potential danger of injury. Many fishes, especially wrasses, will bury at night. The natural hunting instinct of most puffers is to blow the sand looking for potential food (i.e., crabs and other invertebrates). Any fish or invertebrate that may move or wiggle, may be tasted by a puffer. The breathing pattern of a buried sleeping wrasse can elicit the puffer's instinct to taste.
Puffer TanksThe actual construction and material of the tank needs to be considered as well. Acrylic tanks are lighter, easier to move and less expensive, but they are not recommended for fish with teeth. Acrylic tanks will sustain deep scratches from a puffer's teeth. Puffers will quickly learn to recognize that the human on the other side of the tank will deliver food and will enthusiastically cruise the front of the tank with their teeth pressed against it. Above-ground ponds with liners are also not recommended, as the liner will quickly suffer from a puffer's teeth. While glass aquariums are heavier and often more expensive to have custom built, they do hold up better against puffer teeth.
Biting the Hand That FeedsWhile performing routine maintenance inside a tank, gloves should always be worn, not only to protect the tank inhabitants from potential toxins and exposures, but to protect hobbyists from potential exposures to pathogens. There are gloves available to hobbyists that are of a bright orange color. Puffers are often attracted to these like bulls to red capes. I have seen puffers literally go crazy and attack these gloves. Perhaps, orange-colored gloves resemble freeze-dried krill or shrimp. Having someone watch the puffers and guide them away from another's hand is advisable. If another person is not available, partitioning the tank off with a plastic lighting screen to protect the hobbyist is an option.
Puffers have strong, sharp teeth that can inflict very deep and serious injuries. Care should be employed at all times, especially during feedings. Feeding time can elicit increased activity, fury and excitement. During feedings puffers will actually jump or bob out of water. An unsuspecting hobbyist can sustain a bite during this feeding frenzy.
Health Issues
This wild porcupine puffer (Diodon holocanthus) is missing an eye the cause of which might be disease, tangling with a predator or something entirely different. While captivity may seem like a safer bet, it is rife with peril of its own. However, good husbandry practices can go a long way to ensuring your puffers remain healthy in the tank.
Ways to Puffer Proof
One way to protect puffers and your in-tank equipment is to house equipment in a box made of plastic lighting screen that is secured with cable ties. Additionally, the PVC pipe coming out of the box protects all cables, chords and air line tubing from the chewing ability of puffers.
Sumps may not be an option for many hobbyists. In that case, all cords need to be protected or not in the tank. These can be covered and protected by PVC pipes or thick vinyl tubing and secured with cable ties. Do not use orange cable ties. Again, puffers are drawn to the orange color and will often chew through or gnaw at orange cable ties.
Thermometers, heaters, air-driven sponge filters, powerheads and pumps need to be isolated in a section of the tank that puffers cannot access. This can be done with plastic lighting screen that is available at many home-improvement stores. Make sure that the screen is cut to fit snuggly and it is secured with cable ties. Another option is to house the equipment in a protective housing or box. These can be easily built out of lighting crate or plastic milk crates or the plastic storage boxes.
Air line tubing and ceramic airstones can be protected by placing them in a PVC pipe drilled with multiple holes. This will allow aeration without damage to the tubing or airstones.
If a substrate is desired in the tank, then fine sugar-grain sand is preferred. Decorations should be rock or coral skeletons, as these are not easily destroyed and ingested. Puffers prefer caves or rock ledges that they can squeeze into and feel secure. Like humans, puffers will often underestimate their actual size and try to fit in a "seat" that is too small for them. This activity can cause unsecured rock caves to fall and possibly cause injury or death to them or other fish.
Never place fish or invertebrates that bury in a tank with puffers. Adding inverts or corals into a puffer tank is also not recommended. While many hobbyists will relate experiences in which they have successfully kept certain invertebrates and/or corals with some puffers, there are just as many hobbyists that have been unsuccessful. Experimenting or trying to prove that it can be done will often lead to the potential injury or loss of an invertebrate or coral. In addition to the potential physical damage to the invertebrate or coral, maintaining water parameters suitable to maintain their health may be difficult too.
And lastly, never put your hand into a tank with a puffer. While puffers can often be taught to hand feed or actually take food from humans, they are animals with natural instincts. They may get excited or overanxious and can inflict a dangerous and painful bite. They will bite the hand that feeds them.

For generations people have been taken out Snipe hunting, (usually
as kids) to catch the elusive little birds that run around on
the ground at night. I was no different, I went on the snipe hunting
trip and was left holding the bag. If you want to hear about my

A recent report shows that U.S. manufacturing wages have tumbled over the past decade. Progress Illinois takes a closer look at the findings and gets reaction from U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, who has been working on efforts to promote job training and growth in manufacturing.
The state of Illinois is set to see an additional $369 million in revenue this fiscal year, according to an adjustment in the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability financial forecast.

Fuel efficiency for new cars sold in the U.S. reached a record high for the first half of 2012, according to the findings of an analysis released last week.
The study was conducted by the automotive analytical firm, Baum and Associates on behalf of the environmental advocacy group, Natural Resources Defense Council.
Two main factors the research identified as being a catalyst behind the
trend included an increased production of highly fuel efficient
vehicles as well as a rise in consumer demand for such cars.
only are consumers happy about this, but also the automakers
themselves," said Alan Baum, principal of Baum and Associates. "When you
look at the new product offerings that are coming, the automakers are
clearly aware of the interest of the consumer in fuel economy."

There have been some things going on in my life that I haven't really touched on in my blog because I've been trying to catch up to myself. It seems hard to get caught up since life still keeps on going and all. What have I been keeping on the down low? Well, for starters I'm moving to New York City next week. Also known to some as "the center of the world". I think it'd be interesting if people experienced New York at least once in their lives. Even just for visiting. Some people want to live there and experience being the hub of millions of things everyday. That's where I'm at, for right now. It may not be easy, but that's not what I want anyway. Easy is for when I'm bored.
Right now I'm enjoying the last bit of Florida by spending the weekend on the other coast. A place where I can actually catch the pink sun disappear over the water in a matter of seconds right before my eyes. A place where I can have the windows open at night and only hear the waves. Where I can have the eucalyptus steam room all to myself before I tuck into bed; Or I can run down to the lobby and make a s'more before I get some shut eye. Yeah, I'm just soaking it all up.
Now for this post I've got a special treat for you. I think this post describes why I see cooking as an adventure. This was one of those afternoons where I just really wanted to make something special, and take my precious time.

FuniculA is a new edition of a lamp designed in 1979. LluAs Porqueras has always sought an absolute simplicity in his designs, doing away with everything superfluous to leave the essence of the useful, simple object. 30 years on, FuniculA remains highly contemporary, both in its purist forms and in its features.
The name FuniculA comes from the concept of a funicular action - moving up and down. The mechanism for raising and lowering the lamp uses a pair of clips which make the height of the shade adaptable to any user's needs. The shade itself can be rotated through 360 degree to point the beam of light wherever it is required.
The base of FuniculA is covered in rubber on the bottom to avoid the cold contact between the metal and the floor while adding stability to the lamp.
Base and stem in lacquered iron.
Shade made of lacquered aluminum.
Black rubber to protect the base.

High blood pressureHypertension; HBP
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force exerted against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood to your body. Hypertension is the term used to describe high blood pressure.
Blood pressure readings are given as two numbers. The top number is called the systolic blood pressure. The bottom number is called the diastolic blood pressure. For example, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg).
One or both of these numbers can be too high. (Note: These numbers apply to people who are not taking medicines for blood pressure and are not ill.)
- Normal blood pressure is when your blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mmHg most of the time.
- High blood pressure (hypertension) is when your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or above most of the time.
- If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or higher, but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension.
If you have heart or kidney problems, or you had a stroke, your doctor may want your blood pressure to be even lower than that of people who do not have these conditions.
Many factors can affect blood pressure, including:
- The amount of water and salt you have in your body
- The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
- Your hormone levels
You are more likely to be told your blood pressure is too high as you get older. This is because your blood vessels become stiffer as you age. When that happens, your blood pressure goes up. High blood pressure increases your chance of having a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease, or early death.
You have a higher risk of high blood pressure if you:
- Are African American
- Are obese
- Are often stressed or anxious
- Drink too much alcohol (more than 1 drink per day for women and more than 2 drinks per day for men)
- Eat too much salt
- Have a family history of high blood pressure
- Have diabetes
- Smoke
Most of the time, no cause of high blood pressure is found. This is called essential hypertension.
High blood pressure that is caused by another medical condition or medicine you are taking is called secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension may be due to:
- Chronic kidney disease
- Disorders of the adrenal gland (such as pheochromocytoma or Cushing syndrome)
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Pregnancy or preeclampsia
- Medicines such as birth control pills, diet pills, some cold medicines, and migraine medicines
- Narrowed artery that supplies blood to the kidney (renal artery stenosis)
What is blood pressure?
A. The force against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body
B. The total weight of the blood in your body
C. A sign that you are angry
A common sign of high blood pressure is:
A. Fatigue
B. Dizziness
C. Trouble breathing
D. Chest pain
E. None of the above
When blood pressure stays high, it can lead to:
A. Heart attack
B. Stroke
C. Eye problems
D. Kidney disease
E. All of the above
High blood pressure can cause the heart muscle to thicken.
A. True
B. False
High blood pressure can make the blood vessels wider.
A. True
B. False
Which is a sign of decreased blood flow?
A. Pain in the legs and feet when walking
B. Pale skin on your legs and feet
C. Erection problems in men
D. Numbness in legs and feet
E. All of the above
Which of the following are risk factors for stroke?
A. Family history of stroke
B. High cholesterol
C. Abnormal heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)
D. High blood pressure
E. Diabetes
F. All of the above
Which is NOT a common warning sign of stroke?
A. Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding others who are speaking
B. Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, trouble walking
C. Weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg (often just on one side)
D. Sudden problems with eyesight
E. Sudden and severe headache
F. Chest pain
If high blood pressure affects your eyes, you might develop:
A. Headaches
B. Double vision
C. Sudden loss of vision
D. All of the above
Symptoms of kidney disease appear immediately.
A. True
B. False
Most of the time, there are no symptoms. For most people, high blood pressure is found when they visit their health care provider or have it checked elsewhere.
Because there are no symptoms, people can develop heart disease and kidney problems without knowing they have high blood pressure.
Malignant hypertension is a dangerous form of very high blood pressure. Symptoms include:
- Severe headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Confusion
- Vision changes
- Nosebleeds
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will measure your blood pressure many times before diagnosing you with high blood pressure. It is normal for your blood pressure to be different based on the time of day.
- All adults should have their blood pressure checked every 1 to 2 years if their blood pressure was less than 120/80 mmHg at their most recent reading.
- If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, have your blood pressure checked more often. At least once every year.
Blood pressure readings taken at home may be a better measure of your current blood pressure than those taken at your provider's office.
- Make sure you get a good quality, well-fitting home blood pressure monitor. It should have the proper sized cuff and a digital readout.
- Practice with your provider to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly.
- You should be relaxed and seated for several minutes prior to taking a reading.
- Bring your home monitor to your appointments so your provider can make sure it is working correctly.
Your provider will do a physical exam to look for signs of heart disease, damage to the eyes, and other changes in your body.
Tests may also be done to look for:
- High cholesterol level
- Heart disease, using tests such as an echocardiogram or electrocardiogram
- Kidney disease, using tests such as a basic metabolic panel and urinalysis or ultrasound of the kidneys
The goal of treatment is to reduce your blood pressure so that you have a lower risk of complications. You and your provider should set a blood pressure goal for you.
If you have pre-hypertension, your provider will recommend lifestyle changes to bring your blood pressure down to a normal range. Medicines are rarely used for pre-hypertension.
You can do many things to help control your blood pressure at home, including:
- Eat a heart-healthy diet, including potassium and fiber.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a day.
- If you smoke, quit.
- Limit how much alcohol you drink to 1 drink a day for women, and 2 a day for men.
- Limit the amount of sodium (salt) you eat. Aim for less than 1,500 mg per day.
- Reduce stress. Try to avoid things that cause you stress, and try meditation or yoga to de-stress.
- Stay at a healthy body weight.
Your provider can help you find programs for losing weight, stopping smoking, and exercising.
You can also get a referral to a dietitian, who can help you plan a diet that is healthy for you.
How low your blood pressure should be and at what level you need to start treatment is individualized, based on your age and any medical problems you have.
Most of the time, your provider will try lifestyle changes first and check your BP 2 or more times. Medicines will likely be started if your BP readings remain at or above these levels:
- Top number (systolic pressure) of 140 or more in people younger than 60 years
- Top number of 150 or more in people 60 years and older
- Bottom number (diastolic pressure) of 90 or more
If you have diabetes, heart problems, or a history of a stroke, medicines may be started at lower blood pressure reading. The most commonly used blood pressure targets for people with these medical problems are below 130 to 140/80 mmHg.
There are many different medicines to treat high blood pressure.
- Often, a single blood pressure drug may not be enough to control your blood pressure, and you may need to take two or more drugs.
- It is very important that you take the medicines prescribed to you.
- If you have side effects, your doctor can substitute a different medicine.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most of the time, high blood pressure can be controlled with medicine and lifestyle changes.
When blood pressure is not well-controlled, you are at risk for:
- Bleeding from the aorta, the large blood vessel that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legs
- Chronic kidney disease
- Heart attack and heart failure
- Poor blood supply to the legs
- Problems with your vision
- Stroke
When to Contact a Medical Professional
If you have high blood pressure, you will have regular checkups with your health care provider.
Even if you have not been diagnosed with high blood pressure, it is important to have your blood pressure checked during your regular check-up, especially if someone in your family has or had high blood pressure.
Call your provider right away if home monitoring shows that your blood pressure is still high.
Most people can prevent high blood pressure from occurring by following lifestyle changes designed to bring blood pressure down.

If there's anything an upperclassman enjoys, it's offering sage advice to an incoming freshman. West Texas A&M University summer school students and faculty members were asked the question: "What's your best advice for a brand-new freshman?"
"They are going to be more on their own than ever before," said David Matthews, a senior computer science major who transferred from Roswell, N.M.
"It's best to learn about the different facilities like the computer lab, the Activities Center, and where to go for tutoring. It's helpful to know all the different services; the more you know about the campus, the more you can do."
Ask questions, suggested Dave Rausch, assistant professor of history and political science. "That's the best thing you can do. Right before the semester starts, find where your classes are located. Don't wait until the day school starts."
See your adviser, said E.W. Henderson, division head and associate professor for the Division of Education. "Begin to communicate with the faculty and develop relationships that will assist you through your college career," Henderson said. "I'd advise freshmen to be involved in all aspects of their education, but also to find a balance between the social and academic aspects."
Mary Parker, assistant professor of education, said freshmen need to arrive with self-confidence. "Meet the professors, form relationships with them as well as your advisers. Learn to find answers from the appropriate sources."
Come prepared, said Kevin Pennington, a sophomore computer science major. "Don't think this is just a place to party. Keep your mind on your studies and your books and leave the partying for other times," Pennington said.
"The most difficult for me was my English," said Dongseok Lim, a senior computer science major from South Korea. "For Americans, I would say it is difficult to figure out the buildings and where they are. They're kind of all the same color and look the same."
Wink Clark, who is studying education, holds a degree in business and wants to teach history and social studies."The orientation program is a really good method to familiarize yourself with the campus, services available and all the buildings," Clark said.
"Don't sweat it," advised Michael Kryegshauser, a senior graphic design major. "All the anxiety will be gone in about four months anyway."
"Don't stay locked up in your room," said Allison Miller, a junior finance major.
WT President Russell Long said freshmen should attend new-student orientation.
"Keep in mind what you'll experience will be very different from anything you've experienced before. Take advantage of it and have fun," Long said.

Repo Rollover Risk and the Bankruptcy Code
Jun Kyung Auh
Georgetown University - Department of Finance

Columbia Business School - Finance and Economics
June 1, 2015
Columbia Business School Research Paper No. 13-8
When the bankruptcy code protects the creditors' rights with no impairments to secured creditors, issuance of debt with exemption from automatic stay adds no value. When the Code admits violations of absolute priority rules or results in collateral impairments to secured creditors, the liability structure includes short-term debt, with safe harbor protection when the pledged collateral satisfies a minimum liquidity threshold. Safe harbor rights lead firms to issue more short-term debt, less long-term debt, and increases the long-term spreads. Using the 1984 reform of the Code, we offer empirical evidence consistent with the predictions of the model.

Scott Grove left the Williamsport baseball program seven years ago and passed away nearly four years ago. But all these years later, the man that led Williamsport to over 300 wins, 10 district championships and two state final appearances is still having an impact on the program he loved.
Grove's protege, and former Montoursville baseball coach Corey Twigg, was named Williamsport's new head baseball coach Tuesday night by the Williamsport school board, and Twigg still remembers the greatness of Grove.
"I worked with Scott for years at the Little League baseball camps, I'm actually here now working at one of the camps," said Twigg. "I first met him as a camper and later as a staff member. He was one of the best mentors. I learned a lot from him as a player and when I became a coach, I leaned on him pretty heavily when I was a new coach, I have a ton respect for him.
"He use to tell stories to the campers and his players, his stories were always motivational and we still tell stories at camp with the kids. He had a lot to do with where I'm at today for sure," said Twigg.
Twigg will try to build his own legacy at Williamsport after building a stellar coaching resume while at Montoursville. Twigg compiled a record of 183-67, won two district titles, four league championships and led Montoursville to 24 wins and a spot in the 2006 PIAA?Class AA championship game. He was also named the Susquehanna Valley League coach of the year twice. Twigg, who was a catcher for Montoursville's 1992 PIAA?Class AAA champions, is anxious to return to coaching.
"I honestly think the thing I missed the most was the relationships with the players," said Twigg. "As an assistant, it's harder to form those relationships. You're not the guy standing in front of them. Another thing that I missed was the competition. I'm a fiery guy and it gets my blood boiling thinking about wearing a Williamsport Millionaire uniform."
It's that same kind of fire that helped Grove create what was known as "Millionaire Baseball," which included tough, smart, hard-nosed baseball and Twigg hopes to bring success back to a once prominent program, but he first has to implement his own idea of "Millionaire Baseball."
"My first goal is to implement my program," said Twigg. "To get in to the mode of baseball that I'm used to, a lot of hard work, a lot of motivation has to get it moving into a good position. We are looking to make a push for districts, if our goals aren't high we will come up short. Here we have to get back in the district picture and maybe look further eventually."
Twigg stepped away from coaching because his wife, Lori, had breast cancer and he wanted to help her through that. Lori is doing great now, and has been Twigg's biggest supporter in returning.
"She was the main hurdle with this whole thing. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be back in coaching," Twigg said.
Williamsport has a great baseball tradition from Little League up to the Crosscutters and Twigg wants to bring pride back to the program and is excited to be a part of it.
"The excitement gets back into you," said Twigg. "A place like Williamsport High School is going to be an amazing experience and I'm ready to get knee deep in baseball... Basically, is that we're looking to put a great product out there. We're going do everything we can do to bring back Millionaire Pride."

Much has been written on the subject of sporting archetypes in recent days. As England have demonstrated the swagger and ruthlessness once associated with the Aussies, and the Aussies have turned to jelly under the strain of an Ashes confrontation, many observers have professed to being rather befuddled by the turn of events at Trent Bridge and, particularly, Lord's.
Cricket's basic rationale is allegory, and from the first Ashes Test in 1882 through to today, we have sought to learn the wider cultural lessons. Today, Australia are wondering whether they have lost the steel that was once supposedly part of

JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel's Tourism Ministry denied picking up the dinner tab for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and his family at a seafood restaurant in the southern resort city of Eilat.
The family arrived Friday, May 21, for a 10-day visit to celebrate the bar mitzvah of Emanuel's son, Zach, and nephew, Noah.
Israeli media, including Yediot Ahronot and israel national news, posted stories over the weekend alleging that a Tourism Ministry staffer accompanying the Emanuels picked up the dinner tab.
"We offered to help the Emanuels with their visit, but they said no," a spokesman for the Tourism Ministry said on Monday.
The fact that the family chose a non-kosher seafood restaurant added fuel to the fire.
"We bring thousands of people to Israel. Our official events are kosher, but when people are on their own, we don't pick at their plates or make sure they eat all their meals at the Knesset cafeteria," he said.
"Our representative did not eat with them," the spokesman said.
In response to the story, National Union MK (member of Knesset) Michael Ben-Ari wrote a letter of complaint to the attorney general.
"I was amazed to hear that following the sumptuous meal at the Boston restaurant, Emanuel handed the bill to a Ministry of Tourism representative who was present," israel national news quoted Ben-Ari on its website.
"In my humble legal opinion, there is no possibility of making the State of Israel pay for such a meal as part of a private visit by the White House chief of staff and his family," Ben-Ari said.
Ben-Ari noted that "the gentlemen sponsors anti-Semitic policies in the White House."

Attractive country, thousand-year-old mixture of culture, philosophy and history, China is a super world, a true immersion in the unknown which cannot leave anybody indifferent… Since its origin, dating from the 4th century before our era, China preserved a geographical and cultural unit.

Through sumptuous landscapes and imposing sites, with the meeting of strange, you will carry out a true dive in another universe from where you will return transformed.

Authorities on Monday were investigating the death of a 2-year-old boy after a dog attack Sunday night in an unincorporated area near Mount Pleasant.
Family members had put JaMarr Tiller to bed when he apparently climbed down a flight of stairs and slipped out the back door, said Octavia Johnson, the toddlers aunt.
The boys mother had just left to get some gas and run an errand. When she returned, she found her son lying on the ground with his clothes torn off, Johnson said.
She came in the house screaming, A dog has killed my son!
Johnson, who was in the house at the time with her mother and three other family members, rushed out to the boy, and with the help of a neighbor, performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
His eyes flickered to life and there was some movement for a second, she said. Its so tragic. He was so loved by everyone who came into contact with him.
Paramedics transported the injured child to Medical University Hospital, where he died, Charleston County Coroner Rae Wooten said. The child had bites that were widely distributed over his body.
Two family dogs, a female black lab shepherd mix and a female lab and shepherd mix, were taken into custody by Animal Control, officials said.
Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon said investigators werent sure whether both dogs participated in the attack, or whether another animal also might be involved. He described them as yard dogs that were fed by a childs relative and stayed in an area behind the childs house. He and Wooten said outside experts will be called to take bite mark measurements and do other tests.
No charges have been filed, and Cannon said theres obviously a lot of grief, and that it was too early to make any statements about whether any neglect was involved. He added that deputies were summoned to the area in 2010 in connection with a dog attack but he had no immediate details about that incident and whether it involved the same dogs.
Its the second fatal dog attack in the past six weeks. On April 20, a dog in Ridgeville killed Aiden McGrew, a two-month-old boy. The infants father, Quintin McGrew, was charged with homicide by neglect.
Family members gathered outside the house Monday after Sunday nights incident. The attack happened in a cluster of homes behind the sweetgrass basket stalls near U.S. 17s intersection with S.C. Highway 41.
The boys father, Kerry Robinson, shook his head as family members talked about his son and showed photographs of the toddler eating a hot dog and playing beside a pool. He liked to run around and play a lot, Robinson said.
Johnson, the boys aunt, said the dogs belonged to a relative who lived next door. The dogs had never attacked any children, but she said her nephew was afraid of them. They were big dogs, she said. But we had never had any problems with them. She said that their son was well-take care of by her and other family members.
She smiled as she recalled how the boy used to run to her when she got home from her job managing a nearby hotel. He would say, Auntie Mom is home! Auntie Mom is home! Were so sad about what happened but grateful for the two years we had with him.
Octavia Johnson, aunt of Ja'Marr Tiller, talks about the horror of how her nephew was found injured behind the house Sunday night, the victim of an apparent dog attack.×

If you've wondered what former North Carolina coach Dean Smith's life is like since his family announced that he was suffering from a neurocognitive disorder that robs him of his memory, the answer is not what anyone would want to hear.
Former Charlotte Observer columnist Tommy Tomlinson wrote a story for ESPN.com detailing just what life is like now for Smith, having had a chance to observe his routine and talk with those who are part of Smith's life.
There are moments of recognition for the former coach, but there is much more heartbreak. There is the quote from one of Smith's former assistants, Bill Guthridge, who has an office adjacent to Smith's at the Dean Smith Center. Even though both men are retired, both still have offices in the building. Smith is a regular. It's part of his routine.
But if Guthridge is there when Smith comes, he steps away.
"It's something that I have learned to stay away from," Guthridge told ESPN.com. "Because it breaks my heart."
Other excellent snippets from this lengthy look at Smith's current life.
* The weekly routine consists of office, church, exercise and home.
*Smith's wife, Linnea, believes her husbands memory started eroding in 2005 or 2006.
* He gets around in a wheelchair and feeds himself on good days.
*Phil Ford comes by often to visit with his former coach. "He knows I'm there somewhere," Ford says. "Sometimes you can see in his eyes, he's so close to coming back. Somewhere in the back of my heart, I believe it."
The most heartbreaking item is Linnea mentioning there was no way to prepare for this. It just happened before anyone knew it.
"If you have cancer," she told Tomlinson, "you can process it and come to resolution in areas that you need to, or make sense or meaning of your life, and meaning of what's going on, and express your wishes.
"And we didn't have that."

text: A Cracker destroys where a Hacker understands learns and explores the open frontier of freedom of information --LM84I remember this episode of Star Trek where Spock, Kirk, Abraham Lincoln, and Sarek fought against their evil counterparts: genocidal madmen and dictators from history. The purpose was for an alien culture to understand the difference between good and evil. Following the battle, the aliens didn't understand the difference, as both good and evil used similar techniques to achieve their ends, and in the last analysis what mattered was what they were fighting for. A Hacker and a Cracker might be able to do the same thing, but their motivations differ. Honestly, I disagree though. The Hackers tend to be the people who know, and the so-called Crackers tend to be lazy and inept, not caring what they actually know as long as their name is scrawled across the web. --starX

www.foxsports.com Reported that Warren Sapp has filed bankruptcy. According to the article, Sapp owes $6.7 million to creditors, and back child support, and alimony payments. His assets include 240 pairs of Air Jordan shoes worth almost $6,500K, a watch worth $2,250K, and a lion skin rug worth $1,200K. He also reported losing his Super Bowl and National Championship Rings. His income includes a monthly payment over $115K. $45K from Showtime, $48K from CCA Sports,and $18K for a book deal.
Just another "SPOILED STUPID ASS JOCK". Fuck him. I have absolutely no respect for any man who does'nt financially take care of his children due to a divorce. My daughter was 18 months old when my wife and I got divorced. For all those years, I "NEVER EVER" missed a child support payment, and I did'nt make a fraction of what those fucking idiots make. Not to mention spending excessive amounts of money on material bullshit. I'm going to stop now, my blood pressure is going sky high. Let me know what you think.

A week after Paul Hamm was cleared to do gymnastics again, the Olympic gold medalist's coach is "tremendously encouraged" by his progress from a broken hand.
Hamm is training five of his six events, including doing a full routine on pommel horse, coach Miles Avery said Friday. Hamm isn't vaulting yet as a precautionary measure, but likely will start next week - just in time for the July 19 training camp where he must show he is physically able to compete at the Beijing Olympics.

I still remember the day in the summer of '08 when a friend from college called me up and said I had to check out a group called "Miami Horror." That was around the time I began developing the addiction to Aussie electro, from which I still suffer from today- nobody tells you the Bag Raiders are a gateway band. Years passed, seasons changed, dutch house got too popular and finally Miami Horror released their debut LP, Illumination. Appropriately, this album has its roots in bedroom studio sessions dating back not months, but years. For those of us who wondered why we hadn't heard much more than hit singles like 'Make you Mine' and 'Don't Be on With Her,' we now have our answer. From the sound of things, Melbourne's favorite indie-electro, super-luminaries have been saving up gems for quite a while.
Miami Horror's founding member, Benjamin Plant, began innovating in the now burgeoning nu-disco genre after losing interest in the repetitious and formulaic production styles dominating club music. Adding three additional members, Miami Horror took on a richer sound, fusing progressive and psychedelic influences into one mellifluous concoction. Their sound took Australia's disco pop scene by storm. Benjamin's unyielding emphasis on live instrumentals and experimental synth work gives Miami Horror something that just can't be said of their Aussie contemporaries like The Presets or Cut Copy.
It's not often that I discuss the visual components of a given song; seeing sounds is typically reserved for Pharrell and people at Phish concerts. Miami Horror however pays close attention to the kinds of images they conjure. Embedded in every song is the understanding that music can be an experience that transcends the purely sonic. Even the name Miami Horror was chosen for it's colorful imagery and the mirrored effect created by each words' repetition of certain letters- a bit like what Shakespeare did with Macbeth and Macduff. Where my English majors at? Anyway, I think you might profit from considering this album as an all around sensory experience.
Miami Horror – I Look To You (Ft. Kimbra)
My favorite song on the album is 'I Look To You' featuring Australian singer Kimbra. I have to admit I had never heard of her, but in all honesty, her vocals don't just make the song, they make the album. Kimbra's voice is pure sex- breathy, entrancing, delicate. Her voice reminds me of the kind you'd hear on a Thievery Corporation track. This track is to nu-disco as 'Lebanese Blond' was to afro-lounge. Instrumentally, it has all the catchy dance energy without all the sample heavy disco house nausea. 'I Look To You' sounds like it was made to play in the background of some smoke filled lounge as two strangers meet one another's gaze through a crowd of dancing patrons. This is a scenario that's very common for me so it's good to finally have the soundtrack.
"In the summer sun I can't reveal. We go on and on…"
'Summer Sun' is a prime example of the sort of attention to detail that is ever present in Miami Horror's productions. There is nothing lazy about this. Having this many instrumental tracks harmonizing with such remarkable subtly is something that it seems fewer and fewer producers have the prowess or attention span to mix anymore. Beneath it all is not only a commitment to crafting a new sound, but a catchy one as well. Try listening to this just once.

A man who led police on a pursuit through three cities in Brevard County was apprehended Tuesday, but not without damaging two cars.
West Melbourne Police Department officers were looking for a gang of burglars who've been breaking into homes through glass patio doors.
Related: Officials warn about burglaries
Officers approached a man whose car matched the description of one connected with the burglaries, and the man drove off at high speed. A police pursuit ensued.
The man led officers onto multiple roadways, sometimes driving in the wrong direction, and hit two vehicles.
The chase ended in a residential neighborhood when the driver crashed into a traffic sign.
Police are still working to confirm whether the man they arrested has anything to do with the burglaries.
The man, who was arrested but not immediately identified, faces a host of charges including fleeing and eluding police.

We interview Joplin's top city officials in Cunningham Park, and it is impossible not to be aware of the imagery: the ruins of St John's hospital in the distance, and all around us, memorials and artwork commissioned and completed within a year. It's a dual testament to how much work has been done here, and how much is left to go.
All of these men are experienced civil servants. So how did they use that experience to deal with an EF-5 tornado? "I don't know that there's a how-to list to deal with something like we dealt with," says Mark Rohr, Joplin's city manager. He and Mitch Randles, Joplin's fire chief, met at 5:50pm on May 22, 2011, roughly 16 minutes after the tornado touched down. They met by a Mexican restaurant, and the first thing they saw was a minivan occupied by two corpses. That gruesome scene set the tone of the devastation to come.
Then-mayor Mike Woolston knew what his role was at the time: step back, let his team of experts take over, and become a voice of advocacy of the city, a role which the other officials said he performed exceedingly well. Lane Roberts, the city police chief, says that thanks to drills related to severe weather in tornado-prone Southwest Missori, the city's immediate response came from both the gut and the head. "I think early on in the emergency response phase we fell into roles, partly via instinct and intuition, and partly via intensive training we had done for this before, and that set us up for success."
Mark says the artwork in Cunningham Park, partly dedicated to "The Miracle of the Human Spirit," stems from the deep gratitude Joplin feels to its own community, to state and federal agencies, and to the 125,000 registered volunteers who have helped Joplin rebuild.

Q: My cat (about 2 ½: years old, 15-18 pounds, indoor cat) has had a fever of 103-105 degrees for the past week. He finally ate about 2 tablespoons of chicken yesterday morning. My vet ran bloodwork tests, took X-rays and did ultrasounds, and everything comes back negative.
Is there anything you can suggest? Are there any odd cat issues out there that have gone unchecked due to rarity or is there something simple that gets overlooked?
A: It sounds like your cat has a condition that we term fever of unknown origin (FUO). Identifying the cause of the fever can be quite the diagnostic challenge. The most common cause of fever of unknown origin is some kind of infection. When faced with a cat with FUO, veterinarians will run some basic diagnostic tests such as a complete blood count, chemistry panel urinalysis and feline leukemia virus and FIV test. If these initial tests don't yield a diagnosis, additional tests such as X-rays and ultrasound may be warranted. It sounds like your vet has done a thorough workup, and I imagine he's just as frustrated as you are.
One test that is often overlooked is a urine culture. A simple urinalysis may show there is no urinary tract infection; however, a urine culture is the true test for determining whether there's an infection, especially a kidney infection, which could definitely cause the fever. Blood cultures are another test that should be considered, to see if we can isolate bacteria from the bloodstream.
The list of things that can cause fever in cats is huge. Bacterial infections, viral infections, fungal infections, protozoal infections, immune-mediated diseases, inflammatory diseases and neoplastic disorders (cancer) can all cause fevers in cats. Most FUOs are caused by a common disease that presents in an uncommon fashion. There are several uncommon causes of FUO in cats, but to list all of the disease possibilities, and all of the potential tests for them, is beyond the scope of this column.
I'd suggest a trial course of antibiotics to see if the cat responds. A broad-spectrum antibiotic is recommended. If the fever breaks, then a bacterial infection was probably the cause. If the fever persists, additional diagnostic tests will need to be performed to find the cause. Good luck with your cat!
Karen Barnegat, NJ
My kitten too has had a fever of 105 for 5 days now. He is with the vet today for testing and observation. I am so worried about him. He is lathargic, not eating, weak, etc. He had antibiotics and fluids two days ago but he is no better.

Marie -- You're doing the very best thing by having experts examine your cat. She's in good hands now and our best wishes are with you and her for a full recovery. Good luck
Marie Palm Beach, FL
I too have a 2 year old cat who also has a very high fever. She's been in the emergency all weekend. They have ran all tests which also are coming back neg. I just lost 2 other cats and don't want to loose this one. Is there anything that they can do to help her? Please, anyone?

Lunch Money
Hah, good one!
Ouch. That's gotta hurt. Poor bat.
Rule number one: Never ever try to outsmart bullies, it won't work
I heard that bats can transfer rabies. That kid must get his vaccine quickly!
Nananananananana BATMAN!
Toonhole presents: "When Chris was in school".
I'm impressed by the dent, but I do believe the splatter could've been improved. I'll rate the smash a good 9.25/10.
*gets smashed with another bat*
O.k… that was a ten *faints*
Good dent, nice smash and frothy blood splatter and bone and also good price. Would bully again. A++
You wouldn't hit a kid with comically oversized glasses wou..::SMASH::
We all know now that bully~
won't be getting any more money from that kid~
unless that kid becomes handicapped after his encounter with the bat~
Haha! The kid was asking for it…
Yeah, just goes to show that smart kids can be pretty dumb too! 😀
That's a really bad business, breaking bats for lunch money…
If you turn the small kid's head upside down, you get the bully's head >.>
Oh it's a voodoo bat! O.O
If that was in real life, the bully would be arrested and tried as an adult.
aaaaand that's how I killed the joke.
RIP Lunch Money comic Nov. 30th – Dec. 4th.
