Congress Struggling to Cut Deficit
October 16, 2011
1.299 trillion. That number represents the 2011 fiscal year federal budget deficit. In an earlier Understanding Fiscal Responsibility blog post, Scott Wylie wrote about ways teachers could help students conceptualize such large numbers. Members of Congress also must face that number as they determine how to reduce the country's debt.
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Janet Hook reported on Congress' progress to make budget cuts to reduce the deficit. Her article focuses on Congress' most recent set of roadblocks and specifically on the committee tasked with creating this plan.
When was this committee formed, and what exactly is it meant to do?
As part of the agreement for raising the debt ceiling over the summer, this new committee, named the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, was created to draft a plan that will reduce the deficit by $1.2 trillion over the next ten years.
Why is this committee in the news?
This past Friday, the Joint Select Committee received proposals from various other Congressional committees. The proposals, however, focused more on what not to cut rather than what to cut, according to Hook. She explains:
House Democrats said the panel should leave Social Security unscathed, raise taxes and avoid touching social programs. House Armed Service Committee members warned against Pentagon cuts. Senate Finance Committee Republicans did suggest cuts in Medicare spending, but eschewed tax increases.
Rather than providing this committee with potential areas of the budget to cut, Hook notes that each committee rushed to protect its own programs.
The committee received these proposals on the same day that the Treasury Department released its report on the 2011 fiscal year. Though government revenue rose 6.5% due to higher income-tax receipts, spending rose simultaneously due to the interest being paid on loans, Medicare, and Social Security.
Hook focuses the second half of her article on yet another challenge this committee faces. Both Democrat and Republican leaders believe that creating jobs will help reduce the deficit and thus have pushed the committee to include job creation in its proposals. Since President Obama's recent jobs bill failed to pass in the Senate (due to a largely party-line vote), Republicans and Democrats alike hope to see the committee find a jobs bill on which both parties will agree.
Teachers could use this article to introduce the concept of committees in Congress, and how committees influence the legislative process. Students could participate in a class discussion guided by the following questions: How are committees formed? What is the primary role of a committee in Congress? Do committees need to have an equal number of Democrats and Republicans? How might this balance (or lack thereof) shape the bill a committee proposes? Teachers could then connect this article to an earlier lesson on lobbying, which discusses the particular committee on which this article focuses.
Teachers also could use this article as an additional resource in a discussion on the federal deficit. The article mentions a number of proposed cuts, as well as different ways to for the government increase its revenue. Students may be asked to express their opinion based on the options given. Alternatively, teachers could assign groups of students (or individuals) a single proposal and ask them to research why members of Congress believe that proposal is the best way to reduce the deficit. This small research project could culminate in student presentations or a formal debate.
Finally, students could research the partisan nature of the proposals sent to this committee. Hook reports that, though Congressional committees submitted these proposals, the proposals seemed to represent "one party or the other." What does each party propose the government should do to cut the deficit? Do those ideas clearly align with certain proposals made by committees? As students answer these questions, they should be encouraged to develop their own opinions on how best to address the federal budget deficit and national debt.

One thing I'd prefer to discuss is that weightloss program fast can be carried out by the suitable diet and exercise. A person's size not merely affects the look, but also the actual quality of life. Self-esteem, despression symptoms, health risks, plus physical abilities are damaged in putting on weight. It is possible to do everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the primary cause. While excessive food and never enough physical exercise are usually accountable, common health conditions and trusted prescriptions could greatly increase size. I am grateful for your post in this article.

Leaving room for revenge; thoughts on Thanksgiving dinner conversations
As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, my mind is filled with thoughts of dinner preparations and anticipated conversations. I have been the Outreach Coordinator for California Crime Victims for Alternatives to the Death Penalty for over two years. In that time, I have carved a clear identity with friends and family as someone who has an opinion about what we should do regarding the death penalty. I am the abolitionist at the table.
Even so, when faced with the prospect of conversations with friends and family who disagree with my position on the death penalty, I wrestle and turn in my seat trying to find a comfortable position to take at the dinner table. Finding the right words does not seem as important as finding peace within me to let this disagreement float between us. I have always expected to be changed by people I love and I expect to influence them as well. None of us should ever hope to come out of these real conversations the same…at least not if we are really listening and really alive.
So, it's important for me to leave room for others to express their feelings of revenge on the table of Thanksgiving dinner discussions. The need for revenge is real whether I feel it or not. How we continue to evolve with revenge is part of who we are as individuals and as a society. Revenge has existed in our cultures for thousands of years. Revenge is portrayed in art. It is written in literature. It is codified in religions. Susan Jacoby wrote an excellent history of revenge in Wild Justice, The Evolution of Revenge (1983). It is a good place to start when looking for common ground at holiday gatherings.
Over the past two years, I have met murder victim family members whose feelings of revenge have run the gamut from heartfelt abhorrence of revenge to an unremitting need for revenge. When we sit down at the dinner table with those we love and with whom we disagree, it is best to be sure that we know revenge is real and that we are all evolving together. Even though I do not have a desire for revenge, I cannot take away someone else's desire for revenge, nor do I want to take that feeling away from them. While I do understand that revenge is a real emotion, I do not believe it should be used as a basis of public policy. By replacing the death penalty with permanent imprisonment, we can abandon a failed system and save money, while still leaving recognizing a painful need for revenge.

Thank you so much for writing that post. I'm a steadfast opponent of the death penalty and the most commonly arising question I am asked by others is "But how would you feel if it was your child who was raped, mutilated or murdered?", and I completely understand that reply - and tell them that that is not the point. There is a difference between the raw emotional response, the pain, the anger, and as you say, the desire for revenge that any normal human person would feel, and the wilful, cold-blooded, dehumanised taking of a life that executions represent. The idea of ANYONE killing anyone and forcing others to watch as they die is abhorrent. And of course only a part of the rich panoply of reasons why capital punishment should be abolished.
When discussing revenge, I am also tempted to raise the subject of the death penalty in other countries. Under Sharia Law, when a murder is committed in an Islamic nation, the victim's family are allowed to intercede and offer clemency in return for financial compensation (diyah). To me this concept is vile. 'Blood money' cannot compensate for grief. In effect what often happens is that the victim's family passes on the opportunity to save a person's life and/or sets an a unreasonable and greedy level of diyah. In one recent account, the mother of a young man killed in a stabbing actually kicked the stool away from under the feet of the alleged perpetrator being hanged. This is more than revenge, it is heinous by most western standards. I say this not to be anti-Islamic (I am not) but to add context to the whole idea of revenge. In a way, you can see how someone would lash out like this in the depths of despair to hurt the one who has hurt them. However, I would bet that the proportion of those who demand execution vs those who accept diyah diminishes rapidly the longer it becomes since the killing. In the USA, where safeguards against wrongful conviction can lead the execution to be delayed by years or decades, how can it be right to be exacting that revenge on behalf of another person, in a cold and calculated way? More, or less heinous?
And anyway, it is said that Life without parole, in its own way, is a punishment worse than death. But that's another story.
Comment by Jeff K., Nov 30th, 2009 2:21pm
To begin with, I am against the death penalty. For me, it is simply on religious and moral grounds: I do not believe that a justice system based upon reprisal is legitimate. I am increasingly disturbed, however, by the tactics used by many to oppose the death penalty on the basis that "innocent" folks are executed. Every time there is a high-profile execution, suddenly celebrities parrot talking points about how this fragment of evidence was missed or how this person was framed. The debate shifts more to whether or not folks like Stanley Williams, Kevin Cooper, or Mumia Abu-Jamal are guilty (having reviewed the evidence and numerous arguments in each case, I believe that each of the above is guilty) or not, and away from the central issue of the death penalty itself. Take Stanley Williams. The evidence - reviewed by a number of judges - is overwhelming that he was guilty of a brutal crime. In fact, he was a brutal man. He may or may not have changed in prison, but it is precisely because of his brutality that we, as a nation, must not execute him. Ultimately, we become like the criminals, and can fool ourselves into thinking we are taking care of crime. I appeal for an end to this never ending cycle of claiming that every person about to be executed is innocent. It simply is not true. How about we just stick to "the death penalty is wrong, regardless of guilt."

ONE DAY after publication of his first book, The Way Forward, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan made Philly the first stop on his book tour last night, chatting with broadcast personality and columnist Michael Smerconish in front of more than 300 people at the Union League.
The Wisconsin Republican and onetime vice-presidential candidate got a warm welcome, with a cocktail reception and a meet-and-greet before speaking to the audience in an evening hosted by the World Affairs Council.
For more than an hour, Ryan touched on: the state of the conservative movement; U.S. foreign policy; Ferguson, Mo.; Obamacare; his life as the youngest of four children and a fifth-generation Wisconsinite; and his early career, starting with a stint behind the counter at McDonald's. (Smerconish has that in common with him.)

To report that Toronto writer Robert Hough shaped his latest novel partly in response to news reports from the war in Iraq would be accurate but misleading, suggesting the book is an action-packed, "ripped from the headlines" thriller of the kind that the female majority of the novel-buying public would just as soon leave to the boys.
In fact, Dr. Brinkley's Tower is a sweet-tempered pastoral set in a dusty, pre-modern Mexican village where the combat is often more farcical than deadly, involving such irregular forces as a glamorous senorita masquerading as a gypsy clairvoyant, a pragmatic old witch, a silver-tongued con man and the many denizens of a prosperous bordello, all named Maria.
"I don't have Shias and Sunnis fighting it out in my book," admits Hough, 48, relaxing on a holiday morning in his non-exotic personal habitat, a mid-Toronto brick semi, while his two teenaged daughters indulge in the ritual of the endless shower upstairs. "It turns out to be Madam and the Marias fighting against everyone else."
Rather than the U.S. Marines, the imperial force that stirs their enmity is a radio transmitter so powerful it makes the night sky glow green and wire fences sing with gringo hillbilly music for miles around. Under its malign influence, the local populace experiences a fate not unlike the "liberation" imposed almost a century later on the unsuspecting people of Iraq.
With its setting in rural Latin America, its abundance of colourful characters and its consistent tone of gentle irony, Dr. Brinkley's Tower reads a lot more like magic realism than its hard-edged "social" cousin – a comparison Hough anticipated and then deflected by ensuring nothing "impossible" happens in his novel. "I did not want people to think I was trying to ape Gabriel Garcia Marquez," he says. His made-in-Canada hybrid is more absurd than magic.
But no less real for that. Basing his story on the colourful history of a bloodless border war in the 1930s, when the Mexican government encouraged U.S. entrepreneurs to establish massively powerful AM stations along the Rio Grande to saturate airwaves as far away as Alaska, Hough stuck close enough to known facts that he abandoned his original plan to change the names of the historical figures who appear in his book. The real J. Romulus Brinkley, founder of legendary million-watt station XER, which he used to advertise phony cures for impotence – including an operation that involved stitching slices of goat testicle into men's scrotums – is even more outlandish on Wikipedia than he is in the pages of Hough's novel.
Long entranced by Mexico and its culture, Hough knew nothing of Dr. Brinkley when he first toyed with the idea of setting a novel in the absurdist world of Mexican radio. But con men were also a long-standing interest, occupying their own place on the mental list of subjects Hough meant to explore.
"I find con men interesting because they don't by definition experience guilt," Hough says, marvelling at the gift. "Wouldn't you like to be that just for a week – to take a little vacation from guilt?"
When he finally discovered the sociopathic origins of Mexican radio in the story of the goat-gland scam, Hough was hooked. Con men are "exotic creatures," he says, and the novel he fashioned for his own specimen to inhabit is an appropriately exotic vessel – "the most fun to write of my books," he adds. "The whole idea was so up my alley."
Hough's alley is now sufficiently well populated – Dr. Brinkley's Tower is his fourth novel – that its character is clear. Although carefully and stylishly written, his books are first and foremost meant to amuse.
"I have no patience with literary foppery," Hough declares grandly, criticizing high-concept novels for their often "infuriating" inattention to story design. "I like stories that really move and that are well written as well," he adds. "I am trying to entertain – to structure the book in a way that's going to keep you turning the pages, keep you amused and, toward the end, pull at your heartstrings a little bit hopefully."
The hard work with this fun novel was making it seem real, according to Hough, who redoubled the challenge by choosing the most exotic, otherworldly setting imaginable by a contemporary Canadian writer. "That's the trick of it," he says. "That's the name of the game."
That's the magic, in other words. And it works.Report Typo/Error

well character creation would not make sense for this game.
i would like a longer adventure mode but not to much longer cause thats the fun of the game that you can sit down and play it really fast if you dont have alot of time to play
as for story it kinda has one the master hand is making them fight
i agree with the battle rooms thing. but remember friend codes so that wont happen but i dont mind the friend codes.
my biggest wish is that after you battle online it lets you speak with the people you played against so that you can make friends to play with and not just random people all the time

Orchid Love
I got these beauties at an orchid sale that our hospital was having today!
This lavender one is my favorite.
They remind me of little flower faces.
The orchids were so pretty. I was reluctant about taking any of these gorgeous plants home afraid that I wouldn't know how to care for it. I always heard that orchids were hard plants to take care of and hard to keep alive. I was assured by the grower that they are very easy to take care of (we shall see).
This was only part of the gorgeous display...
Hugs and Blessings to you!

Back to Oregon
Traveling with pets is always challenging. Patches is our oldest calico. Surprise is her daughter and is also considered a senior now. Lola our dog always loves going for a ride so traveling with her is not as challenging.
We made the 1300 miles over a period of three days. I feel so bad for the cats but we made them as comfortable as possible.
Our daughter, Amanda is posing with the kitties in the first photo.
We took Lola to the beach yesterday. There is no leash laws for well behaved pets so we let her run and run... She thinks she is a greyhound! I should of taken the camera but sorry, no pics of the beach. I will post some of those in a future post.
Even though I have just started blogging, I have missed it this week. Once settled I will
be better about new posts.
Take care.

"Originally issued on the legendary Basic Channel sub-label Chain Reaction in 1996 following a trio of 12"s, 'Biokinetics' was the first of the label's album releases, and still stands as its crowning achievement. The duo was made up of dark ambient pioneer Thomas Koner and sound engineer Andy Mellwig, and between them they re-framed the techno sound, imbuing the spacious ambience pioneered by label bosses Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald with a frosty, isolated experimental bent, and combining it with the sort of haunted minimalism of early Plastikman. What separated 'Biokinetics' from other albums at the time was its unwavering narrative the exact sound has been interpreted countless times since, but the immersive qualities of this singular record have rarely been touched. Maybe it is down to the silvery underwater concept that ties each track together the bubbling pads, sub-aquatic basses and muffled kick drums. But as with any great album, it's hard to exactly put your finger on what makes it a classic." (label info)

In this ensemble the silk of the waistcoat and coat cuffs has faded considerably. It was once a vibrant pink, an elegant contrast to the deep blue velvet of the coat. Both garments are decorated in silver embroidery, worked separately then applied to the velvet and taffeta, rather than embroidered directly onto the coat and waistcoat.

Different Directions from Fed and RBA
Australia's bond yield advantage to the U.S. has narrowed to an 11-month low as traders see the Reserve Bank of Australia renewing a dovish tone even as the Federal Reserve prepares to tighten policy.
The yield premium Australian 10-year notes offer over U.S. debt of similar maturity shrank to 1.03 percentage points June 27, the least since Aug. 1, from this year's high of 1.53 in March. Bets the RBA, which meets tomorrow, will reduce interest rates by year-end climbed as high as 28 percent last week from 9 percent on June 13, swaps data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Governor Glenn Stevens is grappling with how much a record-low 2.5 percent cash rate will offset a drop in mining investment and a tighter budget, particularly as the currency provides less assistance to rebalancing economic growth. The nation's housing boom has cooled, and business and consumer confidence remain subdued as indebted households hunker down.

Mini is ready to throw its all-new Coupe into the lion's den — the John Cooper Works team has now prepped an Endurance version of the Coupe ready to take on the competition at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
Based off of the new 2012 John Cooper Works Coupe, the JCW Coupe Endurance model has received a host of powertrain and chassis updates to ready it for the day-long race. Power output from the turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four cylinder has been bumped 42 hp and 51 lb-ft to 250 hp and 243 lb-ft. As a result, its top speed is now somewhere north of 149 mph.
A stiffer suspension setup with adjustable shock absorbers will help the JCW Coupe Endurance to tackle the multitude of elevation changes of the 13-mile track. To create the added downforce needed for race speeds, the car is outfitted with a JCW aerodynamics package that includes a front spoiler, rear diffuser, and oversized adjustable rear wing.
Other additions include a full welded roll cage, sports bucket seats with six-point harnesses, and a Formula 1-style head-and-neck support system. The car's upgraded, race-tuned ABS system and race-tuned dynamic stability control help to keep things in line while on the track. To speed up pit stops, the Coupe Endurance has a pneumatic jacking system built-in.
The Mini JCW Coupe Endurance will make its race debut this weekend at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in Germany, and will be Mini's first entrance in the competition. Good luck!

WAILUKU - Eight prosecutors from Mongolia are on Maui to learn about the U.S. judicial system and observe 2nd Circuit Court proceedings, as their country looks toward judicial reform.
"It's an exciting time in Mongolia," said Assistant Prosecutor General Ganzorig Gombosuren of the Office of the Prosecutor General in Mongolia. "We're writing a new history of Mongolia."
As part of continuing democratic changes in the isolated Central Asian country bordered by Russia and China, officials are working on judicial reform, restructuring police and prosecution departments as well as the courts, Ganzorig said.

The Maui News / LILA FUJIMOTO photo
"In order to do this, we need to educate people," Ganzorig said. "We need to change the past."
He said some elements of change may be drawn from the U.S. system, which most of the Mongolian prosecutors are experiencing for the first time this week. In addition to watching courtroom proceedings, the prosecutors attended a seminar on the Maui prosecutor's office presented by Prosecuting Attorney John D. Kim.
The Office of the Prosecutor General in Mongolia is roughly the equivalent of the attorney general's office in the United States, Ganzorig said. He and two of the visiting prosecutors are from the capitol city of Ulan Bator, while the others are from provincial areas of the country.
After watching court hearings Tuesday, the Mongolian prosecutors had many questions, including why a finding of guilt and sentencing of a defendant are often done at separate hearings, Ganzorig said.
He said that the prosecutors have been learning about a defendant's Miranda rights to remain silent and not have to testify against himself or herself.
"I think in America, everybody knows what is the Miranda rule," Ganzorig said. "But in Mongolia, that's not the case. Not many people would know they have constitutional rights when they first meet a policeman. So we have to explain the rights.
"We're trying to borrow something like Miranda rules, which would promote and protect human rights. There are different good things in the United States system we're trying to borrow and put in Mongolian law."
Ganzorig said that the country is trying to establish an office like the public defender's office to help defendants who can't afford to hire a lawyer.
In developing a new penal code and criminal procedure code for Mongolia, the goal is to "promote human rights, protect court rights and provide justice for citizens of Mongolia," Ganzorig said.
Retired 2nd Circuit Chief Judge Shackley Raffetto, who is hosting the Mongolian prosecutors and arranged for the training, said it was an opportunity for them "to learn how modern prosecutors in a free and democratic society operate."
Unlike the U.S. system, which allows the defense to request police investigative reports as part of discovery in a criminal prosecution, "it doesn't work that way in Mongolia," Raffetto said. He said an investigation isn't done until just before trial.
"They had a nice constitution that said things, but in reality you couldn't take advantage of it," Raffetto said.
He said that the Mongolian prosecutors wear military uniforms and have ranks.
Raffetto, who has traveled to Mongolia and participated in training programs for Mongolian judges and government officials, got to know Ganzorig in the late 1990s when he was the first "court observer" in Raffetto's program that brought officials from other countries to the Maui courtroom. As part of the two-week program, Ganzorig wore a black robe and sat next to Raffetto on the bench during a jury trial.
At the time, Ganzorig was a judge on the Supreme Court of Mongolia.
Later, he spent more than 10 years in the United States before returning to Mongolia three years ago, at first serving as legal adviser to the president.
Raffetto said Ganzorig is "very well placed in Mongolia to help and influence the development of democratic institutions for his country."
"We have remained in contact, and we have been good friends," Raffetto said.
After arriving Saturday on Maui, prosecutors from the landlocked country went to the beach for the first time. The group will leave this afternoon for Honolulu, where they will meet with state Attorney General David Louie and Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald.
Photographer Ray Mains is documenting the Mongolian prosecutors' visit.
In addition to proposing code amendments that would provide more rights for defendants, Ganzorig said that he wants to see a special division created in the Mongolian prosecutor's office to bring civil lawsuits against companies or individuals who have violated public law in Mongolia. Among them are foreign companies that have polluted air, water and land through mining without doing restoration, Ganzorig said.
The democratic changes have come to Mongolia since the fall of the Soviet Union, which left the country free from Soviet communist domination.
"This change is ongoing now," Ganzorig said. "Reform can't be done overnight. We expect 10 years, 15 years. It will take a longer time to establish a smooth justice system.
"It's a challenging time, but it's a very interesting time in Mongolia."

Guys and Gals ! Ok, we're discussing fourth grade math expressions w/ parentheses and I was not present in my last algebra class so I have no notes and my professor explains stuff way bad that's why I didn't get to understand it very well when I attended our algebra class a while ago. To make matters worse, we will have our quiz on our next meeting so I can't afford not to study fourth grade math expressions w/ parentheses. Can someone please help me attempt to learn how to answer couple of questions about fourth grade math expressions w/ parentheses so that I am ready for the test . I'm hoping that someone could help me ASAP.

With a bit more specific information about fourth grade math expressions w/ parentheses, I will be able to help you if I knew a few more . If you don't want to hire a algebra tutor, who is very costly you can try this program Algebrator which I came across and guarantee to be the best available. This Algebrator is equipped to solve any algebra problem that you enter and it also clarifies every step of the solution. You only have to reprint as your homework. However, it is better to take the help of the Algebrator to learn algebra rather than use it to copy answers.

Consumer inquiries with the Oregon Department of Justice came in at 25 percent higher clip in the first half of 2009, a state official said.
It's Only Money got those figures too late to include in yesterday's interview with Keith Dubanevich, special counsel to Oregon Attorney General John Kroger over consumer issues.
Dubanevich said written complaints and inquiries to his department totalled 7,195 through July 1. That compares to 5,738 through the same period last year.
Dubanevich thinks the department's improved Web page might have something to do with the increase. Or, maybe it's credit cards.
What do you think?
In another note, the department's longtime spokeswoman on consumer issues, Jan Margosian, retired yesterday after 26 years with the agency.

SAN FRANCISCO — They've spent virtually the entire postseason clawing back from behind but now the San Francisco Giants are in charge. And it's two wins down, two wins to go for their second World Series title in three years.
Madison Bumgarner shook off his struggles in this postseason to throw seven shutout innings, and the Giants scored the go-ahead run in the seventh thanks to some dubious strategy by Detroit manager Jim Leyland in posting a 2-0 win over the Tigers on Thursday in AT&T Park.
The Giants were in an 0-2 hole and on the road in the division series against Cincinnati before winning three straight to advance. They were down, 3-1, in the National League Championship Series against St. Louis before running off three straight wins to survive that matchup.
Throw in the first two victories here and San Francisco has won five straight games in the postseason – all in the last six days – for the first time in its history. And the Giants have done it by a whopping combined score of 30-4.
"I feel like we've gained a lot of strength from what we've had to overcome to get to this point," said Giants outfielder Hunter Pence, who scored the go-ahead run in the seventh on a double-play ball and drove in an insurance tally in the eighth with a sacrifice fly. "We're riding a little bit of confidence and a momentum."
The teams are scheduled to hold workouts today in Detroit, with Game Three set for Saturday night in Comerica Park – where the Tigers are 4-0 in the postseason. But San Francisco has a huge advantage, as a 2-0 lead has meant a title in 14 of the last 15 occurrences.
"It's a lot less stressful for sure," Bumgarner said. "But at the same time, I don't think we can stop pushing or we're going to find ourselves in the same spot we've been in the last two series."
World Series play clearly agrees with the 23-year-old Bumgarner, who was dropped from the rotation during the NLCS after losing both of his previous starts this postseason and rolling up a whopping 11.25 earned-run average.
But Bumgarner, a 16-game winner in the regular season, looked much like the 21-year-old rookie who threw eight shutout innings at Texas in Game Four of the 2010 Series. He became the first Giants pitcher to record consecutive scoreless appearances of 7-plus innings in the World Series since Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson did it three times in 1905.
Bumgarner was incredibly economical with his pitches, needing just 86 to get through his seven innings before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter. He threw just 56 over the first five frames. A tight slider and sharp curveball did plenty of damage.
"I was excited I was going to get a chance to pitch for these guys and these fans and I'm glad it worked out," he said.
Detroit's Doug Fister pitched six-plus innings – and even survived a line drive from Gregor Blanco in the second that richocheted off his head – but was a hard-luck loser.
Everything is going right for the Giants. Pablo Sandoval hit three home runs and a ball off the third-base bag keyed a four-run rally in Game One. In Game Two, Blanco's seventh-inning bunt rolled ... and rolled ... and rolled and stopped dead on the edge of the grass for an infield single to load the bases and bring up Brandon Crawford.
Despite the fact he was locked in a scoreless game in the late innings, Leyland kept his infield at medium depth rather than bring them in to cut off the run at home. Second baseman Omar Infante cleanly fielded Crawford's bouncer and flipped to second to start a 4-6-3 double play, allowing Pence to trot home with the game's first run.
On one hand, you could see Leyland's strategy. His infield defense has been suspect most of the year, with mobility issues certainly surrounding third baseman Miguel Cabrera, shortstop Jhonny Peralta and first baseman Prince Fielder. Keeping the infield back puts them in double-play position and helps prevent a big inning.
That said, the Tigers have done very little offensively in this series, batting just .167 with 10 hits. A pair of 1-2-3 innings in the eighth and ninth meant Cabrera and Fielder, Detroit's top two offensive threats, would not bat, again.
"To be honest with you, we were absolutely thrilled to come out of that inning with one run, absolutely thrilled," Leyland said. "I mean, we had to score anyway. You give them two, it makes it a little bit tougher."
The Tigers were blanked in large part because Fielder was gunned down at the plate in the second on a Delmon Young double. Blanco overthrew the cutoff man in short left field but second baseman Marco Scutaro was in a perfect spot on the infield dirt near third base to corral it and fire the ball home, where catcher Buster Posey made the tag.
"That was huge," Bumgarner said.

Behrend athletes receive top honors
- Penn State Behrend again has won the Presidents Cup as the top athletic program in the AMCC.
Behrend won eight championships on its way to accumulating 1101/2 points and taking home the trophy for the 12th time in the past 13 years.
In the fall, the Lions took home conference titles in women's soccer, men's and women's cross country and men's golf. They followed up in the winter with a men's basketball title and titles in men's and women's swimming and diving. Behrend's baseball team won the AMCC title this spring.
- Behrend seniors Ryan Kragnes and Ryan Jacobs were named to American Baseball Coaches Association Midwest All-Region teams.
Kragnes, a center fielder, was named to the second team after batting .397 with 46 runs scored and 25 stolen bases. Kragnes also drew 32 walks, which ranked 11th in the nation.
Jacobs, who was named to the third team, went 8-2 with a 1.64 ERA. He became the first Behrend pitcher ever to throw a perfect game.

UPDATE: I don't think this is happening.
Thanks to a post on SLICING UP EYEBALLS, who originally got the info from Cure fan-site, CHAIN OF FLOWERS, it looks as though we can be relatively certain that The Cure's widely-dismissed (by critics, not by adoring fans) 1992 album, Wish, will get the deluxe reissue treatment this year. Makes sense. Every Cure album up to Wish has already been lovingly reissued by Rhino.
Here's what CHAIN OF FLOWERS said:
Thursday, December 15, 2011: 'Wish' Deluxe CD in 2012 & new album?
Along with the news of the Secret 7″ art competition, there was this included in the bio at the Talenthouse website:
"The Cure have been re-issuing re-mastered versions of their early albums since 2003, with 1992's 'Wish' (the album that carries the single 'Friday I'm In Love') scheduled for the 'deluxe re-release' treatment in 2012….The band are currently working on a new studio album"
Hope this is accurate, and part of what Robert was alluding to as "STUFF BUBBLING AWAY IN THE BASEMENT".
Update (12-15): Have been told that this news was provided to Talenthouse by an official band source. (Thanks Joerg)
Fingers crossed on this.

Steroid bills for N.J. law enforcement, firefighters come at taxpayer cost
Friday, December 10, 2010 1:27 PM
Sgt. Anthony Manzo, 50, was one of a dozen current or former Trenton police officers who bought steroids or human growth hormone over the internet, paying for the drugs with their government health plans, authorities said. The total cost to taxpayers: $300,000. The state Attorney General's Office investigated the officers but did not charge them. Manzo remains on the force. (Tim Larsen/The Times of Trenton)

On Monday morning, I checked my Inside Higher Ed email and was reminded of the website "100 Reasons NOT to go to Grad School." I've been following 100 Reasons for a while now, as I am the type of person who can't help but click on any and all links promising information about what has been dubbed "The Higher Ed Apocalypse." As I understand the HEA, it is basically the idea that institutions are vastly overproducing Phds for fewer and fewer tenure-track (and even alternative-academic) jobs. Other hallmarks of the genre include the idea that academia is really not the best place to work anyway (see College Misery). But mostly, I read the ones that tell me my choice to pursue a terminal degree is foolish, the jobs are impossible to get, and, if I am of the lucky few to land one, I will hate it. So here's the truth: I have no idea how to assess the actual hiring situation for people like me who are coming out of Phd programs.

Control is important, we need to be able to balance a number of lives as grad students, maintain multiple fellowships and jobs, work on our research as well as ace our classes, and make a good impression in the department as well as the broader discipline. Our success comes from the close control over every aspect of our professional and academic lives: mapping out every minute of our week into our Google calendars, tracking assignments through various iPhone apps, using Zotero to organize every bibliographic reference, and keeping up with the professionals through every social media site we can think of. This is good, it keeps us grounded. So here's the problem: you can't control everything.

So, to protect my own fragile ego, I like to have practice runs of my big presentations in more casual events--but not where the entire audience is made up of my friends and family. Brown bags are a great resource for practicing your presentation, building your confidence, and sharing your research. We have them on campus all the time and they give you an opportunity to present your materials in a somewhat casual, but somewhat formal setting.

Graduate school is exactly the kind of environment where perfectionism thrives. There's a constant striving to tackle our significant workloads without error and folly. There's the pressure to publish well and often. There's the pressure to do something that's never been done before. We've got lots of people counting on us--students, colleagues, professors--and of course, those same people are constantly watching us and will know when we've screwed up.

Nikon D5100 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
66 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Looks like a good contender for the t3i
Curious. I've noticed before that Pentax, not being one of your sponsors, gets consistently downgraded reviews compared to comparable Nikon products. So, the 5100 has 'outstanding' image quality, while that of the superlative Pentax K5 is merely 'excellent'. Are you really claiming that the image quality of the Nikon is superior to a camera that uses the same sensor as (and even gets slightly more out of it than) the D7000?
Hi Jim.
We gave the K-5 and the D5100 the same score for image quality.
Let me assure you that our reviews and ratings are in no way influenced by our advertisers.
I would really love if pentax or nikon started to make sensors for micro four thirds based on crops of these 16MP ones (10MP is enough for me as long as they deliver such results at high ISOs) xD
Greetings! I read all your DSLR reviews, and they are generally accurate. However, in this review, in the "Noise" section, you refer to the Nikon D7000, rather than the D5100. Which is it? I realize they use thesame sensor, but is the noise THAT identical that you can call it either? Thank you.
All I can say I have the D90 and D70s
Nikon is one of the best camera makers on earth.
and it show in the pictures.
Nice and clear review.
I sold the 5000 I while ago,and I still regret it.
It was also an excellent camera.
Keep up the good work.
A few weaker points stand out no DOF preview the VF is smaller than most rivals (0.78x smaller than D3100) Pentax quite a bit bigger at 0.85x. Cannot do HSS with dedicated flash, metering limitations with many older lenses no in body AF motor. Cannot do wireless flash via onboard
Not saying it's bad merely nowhere near as well featured as it's made out to be there are a lot of limitations with Nikon bodies below the D7000 some might not care fair enough but it should get a mention.
Zoltan, Zoltan, Zoltan…....
but this thing has a SWIVEL screen, dude! You don't need a large VF when you've got a cool side-swinging swivel screen that shows you Live View too.
Of course it's not as full featured - if it was, we'd call it D7100 instead.
The one point on this review I disagree with is that I find the live view switch well positioned - intuitive and easy to hit and use. The 4-way could have been doubled up to provide more direct access to features, I agree but the more important controls fall to hand. It is rather slow in LV. Fortunately I much prefer the vf which is clear with a very good focus point display. AF is fast and accurate, picking the points I want just about all the time so far.
I am finding it an excellent camera, and well suited to my needs (of course it would be, that's why I bought it!). I particularly like the solid feel and quiet shutter. (cf the shutter on a borrowed D90 - felt like it was trying jump out of the camera)
I bought body only and a s/h 18-135 (this lens is out of production) and the light weight and useful zoom range make it a great walk-round combo. (I used it on a 7 mile walk in the Welsh hills last weekend)
Very very pleased with it. Like all cameras it has compromises and you need to buy the set of compromises that suits your needs.
plz advice me i am amature and want to have hands on DSLR is it okay for me or i buy high optical zoom camreras .my usages is for famly photos and vacation photos
This is a briliant camera with some awesome features and the best part is that the price for this camera has now come down! - http://amzn.to/jCeK8z
im begginer,i would like to get nikon d5100.but since i have no idea about dslr im confused about the suggestions ive heard from my friends.could you pls help me choose which is better nikon d5100 or nikon d3100?they have suggested me also nikon d90 and canon eos 600d?
i like the rotating lcd,convenient to use and light weight if possible.im going to use for my travels and families.
which is better nikon d3100 or nikon d 5100
I do wonder about the price. The price of the d3100 jumped about $100 after the tsunami. The d5100 pricing was not really set at that point, so there is no way to tell.
Are the prices for these two cameras going to come back down? At $550, the d3100 was a steal. At $650, it is only about average for the course.
At $750, the d5100 would be the best camera for the money. At $850, it is middle-of-the-pack.
What happened Nikon? Are you trying to get us to give Pentax a fair shot?
Good review for a world class camera, but I can't help feeling that many magazine editors and reviewers hold the view "If it aint a Nikon it must be crap". They are also mesmorised by the pixel race which if they stopped to think for a moment, its the 10 - 12 MP that tends to give the best pictures not trillions.
Well rgmaldita.
Dollar by dollar I don't now this.
But in total the D5100 is better than its little brother. But the you have to ask yourself wich camera do you need:-)
anyone please kindly give me the shutter speed information about nikon D5100. what is the range of shutter speed in this DSLR ? drawbacks of this camera??
Kevin, did you think of looking at the specifications section of this review?
Would like to know if the 3x Zoom lens works
during full HD video recording?
Could someone please advise me as to whether the
3x Zoom lens can be used during full HD movie
Great news. I am gonna buy this….!!
To low budget Dave,
I just ordered the Nikon D5100 with the 18-55mm kit lens from Amazon for $798.00 with a free Nikon bag and starter kit $70.00 value, free Tiffen 52mm UV filter $16.49 value, Nikon Ml-13 wireless remote paid $13.91, and $100.00 off Nikkor 55-200mm ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Lens paid $97.00). Total package with no tax and free shipping $909.00.
That seems like a good deal to me.
It is certainly getting closer to the right price. Not a "deal of the day", but then selling cameras at bargain-basement prices is not usually a good business plan.
At that price, it is a pretty similar to the Panasonic G3. The Nikon gives up touchscreen, but offers slightly less noise and better depth of field.
All told, it is enough camera for the money that some people will buy it, and some people will wait. As for me, I'll wait.
and, pray, what are you waiting for?
I have the same problem here :) I dont no as to what dslr camera im goin' to buy.. Im really having a tough time… Im new in this camera world stuff…:)which one should I buy.. is it canon 600d or nikon d5100… or canon 60d or nikon d90…. I really need some advice :) thanks so much :)
I'll choose for you no.4…..go with the Nikon D5100, I've had mine for a week now and I absolutely love it. It's really hard to take a bad picture and the effects are a riot. You can control every aspect of the picture or you can put it on auto and point and shoot. I have zero buyers remorse.
what do you guys think d5100 will be a good camera for landscape ,portait and street photography? For the first time I am buying a DSLR! Suggest me a lens which is capable to do this.
Read the Ken Rockwell review of the D5100 at http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/d5100/users-guide/index.htm
You can capture 90% of your photo needs with the 18-55mm kit lens. If you want to expand from there, then he suggests the 55-200mm for zoom and the 10-24mm for wide angle. If you need a low light lens for indoor, then get a prime 35mm lens. You really only need one lens; you can always zoom with your feet.
Not sure what I am waiting for. On my last vacation, I brought along the D70, and my only real limitation was the photographer. The D70 lacks video, but every cell-phone has video.
Tousif; You can't really go wrong with any of the new Nikons, Canons, Panasonic or Olympus. Read the reviews, but don't worry. The problems they are pointing out don't apply to most users. The D3100 does not do exposure bracketing, for example, but I know very good photographers who don't use that function anyway.
I have not purchased the D5100 because I don't have the cash right now, but it is a great all-around camera that will do all the things you want and more. In my case, I am also looking at the new Olympus, but it is a specialty camera.
The kit lens that comes with the D5100 is slightly higher quality than similar priced cameras, but really, the Canon and Nikon are pretty similar.
'zoltan' stated that there were metering limitations with older lenses. can anyone be more specific about this issue please. i have nikon 28 & 50mm AF lenses that I used with a F301. I tried them on a 5100 body but they didn't AF. I can cope with manual focus but I am concerned about the metering limitations comment. The guy at Jessops seemed to know less than me - he was 'a Canon man'. Thanks
It was obvious when the D3100 came out the days of the D5000 were numbered as it's "little brother" surpassed it in many areas. Of course like many I aspired to the D7000, but my pockets didn't. So I waited patiently for the D5100, but when it came out I was disapointed. It feels "light weight" in more ways than one, plasticky and gimmicky. Not a serious camera at all and very over-priced. The D90 by contrast is a solid serious peace of equipment but very out of date, again over-priced and it's days I'm sure are numbered.So I turned my attention to other manufacturers. For the Canon 600D read my comments about the D5100, only more so. Then I discovered the Pentax K-r. If you have read any of the Nikon D5100 v Canon 600D reviews, you will know where one was o.k the other failed. The Pentax K-r succeeds where either of those cameras fail. It does everything you would want and then some. It is solidly built and a delight to handle with a very "unfussy" layout yet costs just over half of what either the Nikon or Canon cost. There is life beyond Nikon and Canon folks.
Nikon D5100 sounds great - will be buying soon but shame Jessops in their new "Image" magasine are doing a competition you can't access!
I shot some identical scenes with a Nikon D40x and D5100, and the D5100 had much lower noise in low-light situations. Great camera.
One gripe I have is that I can't find a way to reliably focus the video. Pushing the shutter release button does get it to attempt to auto-focus during recording, but it plain doesn't work—my videos still end up blurry most of the time. When I do luck out and get it in focus, the video is beautiful, but since that is very rare, it's almost worthless for video. Anyone know a solution?
Also, the EXIF timestamps on the video seem to be wrong or missing, so when I auto-rename my photos by EXIF timestamp, the videos are in the wrong place.
Can i use the built in flash in video mode for nikon d5100?
for those of you thinking of a d90. I'm a 35 year pro photographer and have had one as a back up for the last 2 years. A good camera 2 years ago but totally outclassed by the d3100 I took on my holidays this year. The d5100 is much better than both the D90 and d3100 image wise and the D3100 suffers quite badly from banding at high iso. The d5100 is used as a back up now with a 14-20 lens on it and it is very good but totally outclassed image wise by the 2 D700s I use. For the money the d5100 is an amazing DSLR. Buy one ASAP!
Thanks bobush, your comment is very crisp and just what i was looking for. I am happy, considering to buy 5100 asap :)
Finally bought Nikon D5100 and I am loving it. You can check my photostream on flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photos/riadhq
D5100 or a Sony A65??? It seems that the processing of the 24MP in the sony creates some noise even at lowish ISO with a lack of sharpness. It also seems the Nikon does the same thing (or similar). Various reviews have suggested that a programme like Photoshop will improve sharpness. My reall question is should I buy the Sony with its extra features and potentially have a lower quality photo that gets corrected on photoshop OR buy the nikon d5100 and get a sharper photo from the camera but may also benefit from photoshop? Can someone answer this for me please?
Nikon d5100 or Sony A65??? I've looked at reviews and the Nikon and Sony seem to experience some softening and noise at higher ISOs It seems that the 24MP of the Sony causes some problems when processing such detail. The reviews have been slightly harsher on the Sony then the Nikon but reviews also highlight that both can benefit from Photoshop type applications being applied to the finished phot. My real question is should I buy the Sony with more features but slightly lower quality photo from the camera that can be improved with photoshop or should I buy the Nikon with a better quality photo from the camera which can also benefit from photoshop? Has anyone got any advice?
I currently own a Nikon D40X. I like the camera, but I would like to upgrade. I like the D90 and I am not sure if I want to buy the D5100 as I am not sure that it would be a vast improvement over my D40X. In talking with photographers the D90 seems to be more of a photographers camera while the 5100 is more of a beginner camera. My experience is intermediate, but I still need to learn the ins and outs of photography. Should I buy the D5100 learn more about how to use all of the features of a DSLR, and then move to a better camera? Or should I buy a D90 as my experience might require this camera instead. HELP?
HI Ron
As a busy photographic studio we buy some of the lower level Nikon Bodies as backups to the D700 and now D800 we use. The D90 in its day" about 2 years ago" was a good camera. Its not good shooting at ISO above about 600 as it starts to get a little grainy. I have both the D90 and D5100 and think the 5100 is much better. The sensor is the same as the D7000. The D90 will let you use pretty much any of the Nikon lenses yet the 5100 is restricted to lenses with built in focusing. I would go for the 5100. I will be taking one on my hols in june as its very small but has more features than the D90. I will have a TINY but fantastic Nikon 28-200g lens fitted which will only work in Manual focus but is a fantastic lens. If you want to go for something special go for the D700 which totally outclasses the D90 and D5100. Mine has over 190,000 actuations and still going strong. It will now be a backup due to the arrival of my D800.
I have my nikon D5100 just last week.. how can or what kind of zoom lens should I buy. I want to buy 55-200 mm..please help
how much today the nikon d5100?
So I wrote up a long and thoughtful comment about my months with the D5100 only to have it disappear when I submitted without my email in… There goes that, so, in tl;dr form, here is a quick summary. Do not buy this camera if you are interested in film. The camera does not have an exposure lock function. Without this, every new shot you take, whether for film or timelapse photography, will have a different exposure level. You'd also get red eyes if you did a timelapse in RAW format and edited every single one… Plus (or minus), this camera doesn't have Canon's famous third party Magic Lantern firmware mod, which gives a ton of new features to the filming camera aspects.
What are you talking about? Are you drunk. Film? Timelapse? Are you reviewing the wrong camera?????
paano kumuha ng magandang picture gamit ang camera ko na d5100nikon
good content,This is the sort of lighting kit used in professional studios throughout the country. It is very sturdy and well made.
i had a plan to buy canon 560D…mow i understand Nikon D5100 is far better than that. i will definitely buy this awesome D5100.. thanks for this detailed review..
Hey guys bought this camera a couple of months ago and I really like the swivel lense the decider between the nikon and the canon was how it held in my hand. It is my first dslr and I love it. :D
I am thinking about using my 10% Walmart discount and get this camera with the 18-55 kit lens for about 549.00 with tax. I also have been considering the Panasonic FZ200, however the main thing that is holding me back is the video quality of the D5100, I heard that the video wasn't up to par with the Pansonic. Any advise would be appreciated.
Go for D5100 :) you will love it
What's the best memory card for the D5100, I've heard class 10 was the best?, so should I get a PNY or SanDisk? Also should I get a 16 or 32 gb for video's, thought I'd get either 2 4's or 1 8 gb for photo's.

this was my very first dslr. i love the specs of the camera,. i can flip the camera in any angle i want. it is good for a beginner like me :)
Which camera is better for a beginner? Nikon D90, D3200 or D5100? I am a photography student btw.
which is better for beginners sony a58 or nikon d5100???? pls suggest me as fast as possible…..
Asish, The two cameras are very similar, and you can't really go wrong with either one. The screen on the Nikon is slightly better. Not only does it have more resolution, but most people like the way it flips out and swivels better than the Sony (tilt-only). I am not sure, but I think you can turn the Nikon screen all the way around and close it against the camera for protection, whcih you cannot with the Sony. (Check the review of the 5100, just to make sure I am not remembering it incorrectly)
The Nikon 5100 these days is also slightly cheaper. Since it uses a wider variety of lenses, you will most likely be able to upgrade lenses (when you choose to do so), for less money. The 50mm 1.8 primes, for example are most people's first upgrade, and the two are very similar. Nikon might have the slight edge here, but it is a matter of opinion.
Many people like the color of the Nikon better, but again that is just a matter of opinion. I shoot with the Sony A58, and it is very nearly the same for most purposes.
I chose the A58 for two reasons. First, it offers in-body stabilization. Since I shoot hand-held in many situations, the Sony saves a shot for me every now and then. The Nikon kit lens is stabilized, though, so if that is all you ever use, then it will work as well or better.
The other reason is that I like the way the Sony video works. Even then, it is a minor difference, but the Sony video autofocus works faster than any of the Nikons except for the little V1 and J1 (which use a very good hybrid autofocus) or the big full-frame cameras (which will set you back an extra $1,000, and still might not keep up with the Sony during most video.)
The Nikon, on the other hand, offers 24p video at full resolution.. The Sony, I think, does not, but it does have built-in stereo mikes, so pick your favorite. (Also, I might be wrong about the Sony. It might offer 24p at full HD, and I might just not be using it.)
The translucent mirror, and the extra pixels, hurt the Sony image quality in low light, so if you really hate color noise, then you might notice a bit more noise on the Sony than on the Nikon. Only in low light, though. And you have to look for it to notice it.
The Sony has a built-in HDR mode, but I have never used it.
These are all minor details, though. For almost all purposes, the Nikon 5100 and Sony 58 are very similar. They are about the same size, about the same weight, and neither offers built in wi-fi.
You can't go wrong with either one, unless you want waterproofing, wi-fi, or full pentaprism vf (in which case, look to Pentax).
I have nikon D5100 and I think its very good choice for all beginners, Im happy with this camera :)
I am trying to decide between the nikon D1500 and the Fujifilm FinePix SL1000. I am not a professional photographer and this is my first SLR camera but I am pretty good with cameras. Any suggestions?
Is it just me or the samples photos are soft? I noticed the same softness in photos of presented in other reviews.

The Nikon D5100 produced images of outstanding quality, both JPEGs and RAW files.
It produces noise-free JPEG images at ISO 100-1600, with ISO 3200 also looks pretty good. ISO 6400 only shows a little noise.
The Full HD video quality is also quite good, though the results can be tarnished by a finicky and noisy autofocus. It has a tendency to search too long, which is accentuated by the noise of the servo motor.
Shutter speeds is up to 30 seconds and has a Bulb mode as well for exposure times of practically any length, which is very good news if you are seriously interested in night photography.

Well written review! It has really helped me think about the different aspects of each camera I could possibly own. Although you went into great detail I am still left to wonder whether i should buy myself a Nikon or Canon! I'm just not sure if I could work out how to use a Nikon, but i have been told by a few people they are better! Thank you in advance for helping me!
I've ha this camera (D5100) for about 6 months now and I love it!
I made the switched from a pretty basic sony to one of these and I absolutely love it! I got a handful of lens' that all make it even better.
