Until recently, the India Development Center (IDC) of ACS, A Xerox Company, used a mix of tools to support various aspects of software development, to improve productivity, communication, and visibility. In 2011, IDC enhanced its development environment by implementing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, and the Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 and Project Server Integration Feature Pack, which connects Team Foundation Server with Microsoft Project Server 2010. The integrated solution gives teams unified tools to simplify project management and streamline product lifecycle processes. Other benefits include reduced costs, increased productivity and collaboration, and deep, real-time visibility into project status.
ACS, A Xerox Company, is a global leader in business process and information technology services. The company covers a lot of ground, from finance and accounting and transaction processing to IT outsourcing, human resource services and customer care.
The India Development Center (IDC) of ACS was established in 2002 and has approximately 400 IT professionals supporting software development, quality assurance, project management and operations support across Bangalore, Kochi, and Chennai. The purpose behind establishing IDC was to provide high quality, cost competitive application development and maintenance support towards commercial and government horizontal services. IDC has the functional expertise and technical skills to offer clients a variety of services in various industry verticals including: education, finance and accounting, government healthcare, and payer and insurance.
Since IDC caters to a diversified services portfolio, it supports both Waterfall and Agile software development methodologies.
With multiple lines of business (LOB) units, IDC had built a highly heterogeneous development environment. Until recently, all LOB units used a mix of stand-alone tools for various aspects of application lifecycle management. For example, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version control software was used for source code control, JIRA for bug tracking and Excel spreadsheets for various other tasks. The mix of tools used for other aspects of application lifecycle management was just as extensive.
For the development teams, having a mixed tool set presented several problems. One of the largest issues was lack of visibility into project status. It was hard to gather information across so many different silos of data. As a result, it was difficult to prioritize projects or allocate resources.
"Project status visibility was needed to help us know exactly how much work remained, and how close we were to meeting a deadline," says Ashley Vail, Program Manager, ACS. "This visibility would in turn help us with resource planning."
Collaboration among the different teams was also an issue as developers, quality assurance, and project managers all used different tools. Lack of a consistent tool set created an overall drag on productivity and the speed of development.
Development teams had no way to capture software-testing workflows. As a result, software issues were not always easy to reproduce, which delayed resolution and time-to-market.
"There was a desperate need for a tool set, which would help us reduce costs and administrative complexity, and overall enhance collaboration," says Prasad Thiruneelakandan, Information Management Specialist, ACS. "What we needed was an effective and consistent tool set to aid in the application building and management processes."
IDC began to consider investing in a new development environment that would help address these issues. It wanted a solution that would improve workflow management, provide project's development status, support cross-discipline collaboration, make it easier to eliminate bugs, and reduce the time its developers spend on repetitive, non-creative tasks. It needed one solution that could handle almost everything.
IDC decided to build its solution on the Microsoft platform. The team deployed the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate development system and the enhanced Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010. "What really caught our attention was the fact that this integrated solution would give us the capabilities we needed to bridge the gap between our teams," says Kiran Kuchibotla, IT Director, ACS. "We wanted to standardize the entire application lifecycle management (ALM) process."
Microsoft India DPE- Developer Tools Strategist helped IDC to conceive the solution using their SEED strategy initiative, which meant to Strategically Engage, Enhance, and Deploy. SEED provided the right information, tools and processes in place to utilize the ultimate potential of ALM in an explicit time. Improved organization agility, better cross-functional synchronization, better accountability, and improved net promotable scores were some of the features offered by this strategy. "With SEED we were able to create a strategic plan and achieve the flexibility needed to react to market and business dynamics faster," says Raman Padmanabhan, Vice President, ACS. "We knew we had made the right choice."
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate offers integrated development tools such as Intellitrace debugging, static code analysis and enhanced profiling while being fully integrated with Team Foundation Server 2010.
The solution provides a broad set of tools and functionality, and also offers a rich development environment for thorough testing, database development, debugging and diagnostics, and architecture and modeling. It includes integrated tools not only for general-purpose developers but also for database developers, making it easier for team members in those roles to collaborate. Team members have out-of-the-box access to rich project metrics through expanded reports and dashboards.
Team Foundation Server 2010 presented the best option for implementing a comprehensive application lifecycle management strategy across IDC's environment. The collaboration environment which includes new work item tracking, reporting, and source code management features helped connect the organization's geographically dispersed development employees.
"We really liked how well Team Foundation Server integrated with Visual Studio desktop tools, enabling developers to eliminate manually intensive processes that are costly and time-consuming," says Prithviraj Mukherjee, Technical Project Manager, ACS. "Overall, the solution makes the development process transparent while delivering end-to-end visibility across the organization."
With help from Microsoft Services consultants, IDC implemented the solution in August 2011. The solution will be available to approximately 75 developers throughout IDC.
To standardize project management, IDC used the Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 and Microsoft Project Server Integration Feature Pack. This feature pack links data stored in Team Foundation Server with Project Server by bridging the gap between project portfolio management and application development. Project managers use Project Server to access up-to-date project status and resource availability with development teams working in Team Foundation Server. Developers could continue to use familiar tools and development methodologies. This integration enables data to flow from work items in Team Foundation Server to tasks in enterprise project plans in Project Server. "Everything is very tightly coupled," says Bala Srinivasamurthy, Program Manager, ACS. "The feature pack further strengthens our solution by enabling teams to collaborate, communicate, and work together more effectively."
IDC is pleased with the new integrated development environment for all aspects of application lifecycle management. With this solution, teams are able to store all of their product information in a unified repository and manage database development more efficiently. Reports, dashboards, and planning worksheets all support employees to move steadily towards the development goals and hence provide clear visibility across the business, development, and operation capabilities.
Through its adoption of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, IDC is moving from multiple stand-alone tools for various aspects of application lifecycle management to a single, integrated solution. The efforts are leading to reduced costs, increased productivity and collaboration, improved software quality, and deep, real-time visibility into project status and health for all stakeholders.
With its new solution, engineers can perform software builds, manage software versioning, and execute tests in less time and with fewer errors. Greater efficiency means less money spent. The consistent and consolidated tool stack is helping IDC to significantly reduce costs. "In the past, we paid to license and support dozens of different tools," says RG Conlee, VP Technology & Innovation, ACS. "Today, we have a single, tightly integrated development environment on Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010, which is extremely cost-effective for us to adopt. As a result, we expect to reduce our overall IT administration and 3rd party licensing costs for project development and maintenance by 30 percent."
Increases Productivity and Collaboration
Today, IDC teams have an integrated tool set to help them more efficiently develop and maintain projects across multiple locations. The move toward a single solution for all aspects of application lifecycle management has improved productivity and collaboration. With the integrated environment, testers, analysts, and developers are collaborating and capturing all work and issues in one place. This gives clarity into what's going on with the project and helps to quickly pinpoint issues. As a result, traceability is much easier.
"With everyone using the same tools, fewer issues fall through the cracks, code rework is reduced, and reporting is more efficient, all of which help increase team output," says Raman Padmanabhan. "We're seeing a 40 percent productivity gain."
IDC is noticing changes in the way people work. The transparency offered by the solution means that developers have more control of the project lifecycle and a better understanding of how their work affects it. "Team members are now more aware about the quality of their work because they can see how it influences the overall project," says Kiran Kumar, Manager – SQA and Operations Support, ACS. "Working in an agile environment encourages accountability."
The integrated tool set of Visual Studio 2010 has streamlined development processes. Instead of using multiple solutions for tasks such as deployment and source control, IDC has simplified its workflow with a unified solution. As a result, employees can focus better on tasks and respond quicker to business needs.
Also, by connecting Project Server 2010 with Team Foundation Server, management personnel can work more efficiently and gain better control of projects. The solution connects with various applications and also integrates more easily into employees' workflow.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 is an integrated development system that helps simplify the entire development process from design to deployment. Unleash your creativity with powerful prototyping, modeling, and design tools that help you bring your vision to life. Work within a personalized environment that helps accelerate the coding process and supports the use of your existing skills, and target a growing number of platforms, including Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and cloud services. Also, work more efficiently thanks to integrated testing and debugging tools that you can use to find and fix bugs quickly and easily to help ensure high-quality solutions.

Cutty Ranks (born Philip Thomas) is a former butcher that became one of the first to pose an actual challenge to the dominance in the ragga world to Shabba Ranks. A representative of the sound system genre in the early '80s, he joined with Donovan Germain's Penthouse label in 1990, with a stone voice sound, much like Shabba's, running over the "gun talk and slackness" common to this era of ragga. Ranks also makes use of relatively lesser used beats to set himself apart from the other DJs on the scene. The two major albums to look for are The Stopper (Fashion) and Lethal Weapon (Penthouse), both of which showcase his skills decently.

A Short Note On The Various Diets In Review To Make Sure That You Choose The Right One
There are many people in this world. Every single person is slightly different from the other and this is the reason for the lot of variances that we have the differences and of course the various cultures. Everyone has a special way of thinking and there are many people who follow a specific school of thought. Of course, even if you take smaller groups, you can see similarities and differences. Now, the group that we will consider is the group that wants to be healthier and shape up to lose a few kilos here and there and be the ideal person. There are so many people who are suffering from obesity and this is a greater disease than anything else as this disease is the invitation for all other common maladies. There are two parts of slimming down naturally. The first part is where you will have to restrict the food intake and the second is where you will have to increase your physical activity. There are gyms and other places for physical activity, but what about the diets? There are so many types of diets that are there, each one has something that works. That is why we have the internet and that is why we have all the diets in review. As we know, there are similarities and differences and internet is a place where you can find people of both the classes. When there are dietsinreview.com, it means that people are talking about it, they share their experiences about that particular diet and then give their views. Based upon those weight watchers, you can either make your own diet or you can follow something that you think would suit you and is more closer to your present lifestyle. There are special websites, blogs, magazines and health forums online that have such discussion groups and they all actively participate in Diets In Review, bringing out the diet that is most suitable for most people.

Nicolas Cage Did Shrooms With His Cat: Late Last Night
In what is perhaps the best clip you'll watch all day, and maybe even all week: here's Nicolas Cage talking with David Letterman about doing shrooms with his kitty, Louis. Am I lying? Is this too good to be true? Oh no it's not sir, I wouldn't deceive you so tremendously!
Jay Leno talked to SNL head writer Seth Meyers, about his time at the Olympics, and about the greatness that is pairs figure skating. He's quite late to the party, seeing as the smartest people know figure skating isn't newly awesome, but rather that it's always been awesome. He also talked about the World Cup, if you still haven't heard enough about it.
Then, Josh Harris and Johnathan Hillstrand of The Deadliest Catch told Jay about fishing, and how it's been in their families for generations. Hillstrand also talked about how he got sucked into a boat's motor one day, and had his guts pulled out of his body through his shoulder. Fishing, everyone! Look into it!
And in case you want to feel like a fat bastard, here's Eddy Izzard talking to Jimmy Fallon about running 43 marathons in 51 days.
Also, Angie Harmon had an interaction with Mick Jagger one day, and he didn't believe that her name was really Angie. Can you blame him? You can't always get what you want, Angie Harmon. (Can't help it.)

Love this piece
By Franny
from Pickering, Ontario
I love beautiful ring. I have always wanted a coin ring but could never find one feminine enough. This is so nice and classy. I get tons of complements on this piece.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Unique but not spectacular
By Magyarlanyka
from London, ON
I bought this ring to match the set with the earrings and necklace. Although unique - it certainly doesn't stand out like the other two designs. It's almost tin-like out of a gumball machine. There is no weight to it like with the pendant and earrings.I think I will be sending this one back and keeping the other two. I'm disappointed because I have been looking for a coin ring for a long time. I like the idea of a design on both sides of the ring, however it's not enough to give it that wow factor. It really is like costume jewellery and for the price - mmmmmm, no.Oh well, keep trying. I have many of Eva's pieces and am happy with them all.

I love how they emphasize to be athletic on campus and keep fit.
There are tons of intramural sports. It is huge on this campus.
Overall Experience:
I really like the professors. I am a senior and I have not had a class where the professor was not willing to help me outside of class. I have always been able to knock on their office and get help. They want to provide a good learning experience for the students.
Campus Quality:
BYUI has a tone of student sports and recreation activities and a good gym and health center. The school invests a lot of money into these activities so they are high quality and in-expensive or free for students.
Overall Experience:
There are a lot of employers and potential internship opportunities at least in the engineering department.
Party Scene:
There is usually something going on but most of the time it's not huge.
It is very strict, but everyone obeys the honor code.
Overall Experience:
The classes are great. A lot of the classes are small and there is a lot more interaction in the class. The teachers really do care about the student's well being. In each classroom you feel like a family.
Local Area:
I love living in Rexburg, Idaho while I am attending school. The people are great and the area is beautiful. There is much to do here and the university has many activities during the semester.
Guys & Girls:
They are nice, well dressed, and you don't see things you wouldn't want to!:)
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a ton of options close by and they're not extremely expensive either!
Off-Campus Housing:
There are tons of options and they are all fairly priced. Some places it can be more expensive, but that all depends on taste.
Party Scene:
I myself am not a partier, but I hear all about them and they seem fun!
The school seems to have a big support for athletics, the hart building is well equipt and fun to use!
Campus Housing:
I love where I live, but it could be a little more affordable.
Academics are very important here so classes are taught to the best of the teachers ability.
I love my major and for the majority of my classes the teachers are great as well!
We don't have any varsity sports-- only intramurals.
Health & Safety:
I always feel safe on campus. I have never heard of a case of sexual assault.
Local Area:
Painfully remote is the perfect way to describe Rexburg. There is literally nothing to do except go to FatCats to see a movie or bowl. The next main city (Idaho Falls) is 30 minutes away in a car, and there's very little to do there as well. The best thing to be if you go to BYUI is an outdoorsman, but even then you have to travel far and wide.
Party Scene:
I would say that the majority of the parties are in off-campus apartments and obviously void of alcohol and drugs, but full of mountain dew drinking games (why, I don't know) and kissing random people because that's what Mormons do for fun apparently. The lamest parties happen on campus. But let's be honest, they're all fairly lame.
The school has an extremely strict honor code, but that's a good thing! It helps us to be better people.
Off-Campus Housing:
I love where I have lived off campus. Some of the pros include having great roommates, a clean house, a good price, and a lot of perks. I have always felt safe, there are always parking spots at the places I've lived, etc.
Overall Experience:
People who graduate from BYU-Idaho typically find a job quickly.
Health & Safety:
I had to call upon the safety and security measures of campus to help with a roommate who was suicidal. They responded quickly and did what they could to help her get some counseling.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
BYU-Idaho professors and other students take a lot of interest in students personally, to help them achieve their academic goals and improve their overall well-being. They care about how you do in classes, what you have to contribute to the school, and what you're doing besides school to enhance your lifelong learning. The BYU-I experience really becomes what the students make it. Students who just study to get by learn to do the bare minimum with the least amount of effort, and students who want to make the most of their education and learn and grow from being a student work longer and harder in a variety of pursuits that span beyond academics.
It may be hard to believe that there are so many opportunities to develop skills in a given area from attending a little school in Rexburg, Idaho. But just as BYU-Idaho takes huge steps in innovating learning and maximizing resources, students learn to be innovative hard-workers who know how to problem-solve and communicate effectively. Most students who realize the potential they have in being admitted to this school and who take advantage of the opportunities offered here quickly learn how to make their BYU-Idaho experience worthwhile.

Microsoft on Saturday withdrew its bid to acquire Yahoo, opting against raising its offer $5 billion more or pursuing a hostile takeover.
Microsoft CEO Steven Ballmer, in a letter to Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, said he was concerned that Yahoo would take actions that would make the company undesirable to Microsoft. Of particular concern: Yahoo's decision to test Google's search ads on its own results pages, and the possibility that Yahoo would work more closely with Google on paid search going forward.
Such an arrangement, Ballmer wrote, "would fundamentally undermine Yahoo!'s own strategy and long-term viability by encouraging advertisers to use Google as opposed to your Panama paid search system."
He continued: "This would also effectively enable Google to set the prices for key search terms on both their and your search platforms and, in the process, raise prices charged to advertisers on Yahoo," Ballmer said.
Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock fired back a statement, reiterating that Microsoft's bid undervalued Yahoo. "We remain focused on maximizing shareholder value and pursuing strategic opportunities that position Yahoo! for success and leadership in its markets," Bostock said in a news release.
On Feb. 1, Microsoft offered to pay $44.6 billion or $31 a share for Yahoo. Since then, Microsoft said it agreed to raise its bid by $2 per share, but Yahoo wanted another $4.

Tina Turner sang about it in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985.
I didn't see the movie, but I do remember the song, We Don't Need Another Hero. It was on the radio a lot back then.
Why then, do we look for heroes?
How did we elevate Lance Armstrong to hero status—to the point where, as he said during an interview with Oprah on January 17th, "this (interview) will live forever."
(In case you haven't seen it, it was a lengthy interview where Lance publicly admitted for the first time that yes, he did use performance-enhancing drugs for all of his Tour de France wins. Yes, he did it. Yes, he lied about it…even under oath.)
Like many others around the world, I was drawn into Lance Armstrong's powerful hero orbit. Being a fan of cycling, I watched in awe as he came back from cancer and not only competed in, but won the Tour de France. The first year was incredible, then he won it six more times.
Were there questions? Certainly…what he accomplished was unheard of. Yet he always passed when tested for performance-enhancing drugs.
I read Lance's book, It's Not About the Bike, which only served to further my admiration for this man who defied the odds and helped so many cancer patients along the way.
However, as we all witnessed, even heroes can fall.
If dishonesty did not exist, our prison system would not be necessary, let alone filled to capacity.
Lance Armstrong's colossal fall from grace was one of the biggest stories near the end of 2012. I predict that his Oprah interview will be one of the biggest sound bites of the year, perhaps longer. I am not, however, here to judge Lance Armstrong or to determine his guilt or innocence.
Once a hero, not always a hero.
Lance Armstrong had it all—yet his success was not earned. It came as a result of one of the largest doping scandals in sporting history.
He lied. He cheated. He's not a hero after all.
The Oxford dictionary defines a hero as:
A person distinguished by courage, noble deeds, outstanding achievements, etc.
Sounds simple enough. But…what does it mean to you and me?
Maybe the world's definition of hero has become something else entirely. Maybe it is time for that definition to change.
We can all be people who are distinguished by courage, noble deeds and outstanding achievement. The world's definition of hero, as Lance Armstrong so unceremoniously demonstrated, can come and go overnight.
The real definition of hero is beautiful and honest and real, and it's the one that matters.
That's the kind of hero we need.

New York City landmark bomb plot
The New York City landmark bomb plot was a planned follow-up to the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing designed to inflict mass casualties on American soil by attacking well known landmark targets throughout New York City in the United States. If the attack had been successful, it is likely it would have resulted in the death of thousands.[1] The plot was foiled in 1993 before it could be carried out.
The plot was espoused by the blind sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, a radical Muslim cleric in New York City, to be carried out by some of his followers. Rahman was the spiritual leader of the al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, a radical Egyptian Islamic group and had links to al-Qaeda.[2] One of Rahman's followers, El Sayyid Nosair, had assassinated Meir Kahane in 1990 and was linked to the 1993 Trade Center bombing.
The six targets to be attacked were the United Nations Headquarters, the Lincoln Tunnel, the Holland Tunnel, the George Washington Bridge, St. Regis and U.N. Plaza hotels, and the FBI's main New York office at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building.[3] There was also some talk of bombing Jewish targets in the city[4] as well as assassinating U.S. Senator Al D'Amato and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.[5]
The attack on the hotels would be detrimental because these hotels are known to host prestigious guests such as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and the U.S. secretary of state who stayed at the Waldorf during the U.N. sessions. These hotels are also known to host several prominent business leaders. Attacking these locations would create chaos in the financial and diplomatic aspects of New York.[2]
The planned attacks on the Holland Tunnel and the George Washington Bridge would create chaos in transportation leading in and out of Manhattan. If successful, police, civilians, and other respondents would have major issues entering and leaving the city.[2]
The attackers also discussed attacks on the New York Diamond District which is an area populated by a large population of Jewish businessmen and attacking this center would be similar to "hitting Israel itself".[6] Similar attacks, later known as 2008 Mumbai attacks, were carried out in Mumbai.[2]
Intended Plan[edit]
The terrorists suspected President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt to be present in the hotels and the attackers intended to infiltrate the hotels using disguises as employees to get close to the president. The other attacks in the city were used as distractions and to inflict chaos throughout the city. Bombs would be used on the bridges while the other terrorists would raid the hotels with guns.[5][7] Even if the President had not been there, the attacks throughout the city would have caused a large number of deaths.
FBI Surveillance[edit]
The FBI had been closely monitoring this plan throughout 1992-1993.
Emad Salem was used as an intelligence asset during this whole investigations and one year prior. Salem had experienced a man being tortured when he was young so he wanted revenge on radical Islam. FBI agents first used him to find the illegal selling of weapons and green cards from Russians and then he agreed to help the FBI during this plot. Salem was used to get information of the terrorists and information on the details of the plan. He proved to be extremely influential foiling this plot.[8]
Salem agreed to spy for the FBI if his identity was never revealed. The FBI insisted that he wear a recording device so he could testify in later trials but he did not agree to this. The FBI then only used him as an "intelligence asset".[9]
The FBI had also been monitoring the terrorists through video surveillance hidden in the terrorists' safe house where bombs had been being developed. Combined, the video surveillance and usage of an inside man greatly contributed into foiling the plot.[10]
Prosecution and Aftermath[edit]
An FBI informant named Emad Salem infiltrated the group and gathered information which led to the arrest of the plotters.[1]
The conspirators were arrested on June 24, 1993.[11] On October 1, 1995, Rahman and nine others were convicted by a New York jury on 48 of 50 charges, including seditious conspiracy, solicitation to murder Mubarak, conspiracy to murder Mubarak, solicitation to attack a U.S. military installation, and conspiracy to conduct bombings.[12]
According to lead prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy, at the trial it was shown that Sudan had "close ties" to Rahman and the other plotters. Sudanese diplomats assisted the planned attack on the United Nations Headquarters.[13]
Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and the nine others were convicted and sentenced to terms ranging from 25 years to life in prison.[14]
The FBI took 2 years to investigate the plot which showed that a slow approach to terrorist investigations was beneficial. James Kallstrom who was an ex-FBI officer said "You obviously want to play things out so you can fully identify the breadth and scope of the conspiracy. Obviously, the most efficient and effective way to do that is to bring it down to the last stage."[15] This took precedence in many other terrorist cases to follow. The general public gave criticisms over this strategy but the FBI still leans toward slow approaches to terrorist plots.
Salem had eventually testified against Rahman and other terrorists despite saying that he would not. After the trial, Salem had received a large sum of money and was put on a witness protection program.[10]

https://catalogue.univ-lyon3.fr/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=GetAvailability&id=334726&id_type=bib&return_type=item The late query is then supposed to work but it doesn't.

Program Reports
Amid the controversies over Common Core, choice, testing, racial disparities, and teacher unions, PEPG and Education Next continue to report research on major developments and track the public's and teachers' responses as part of its annual poll.
We are especially proud of the talented scholars who are participating in our training and research programs. Featured in this issue are snapshots of research by undergraduate students, graduate and postdoctoral fellows, and colleagues, including:
• Matthew Ackerman (Harvard) reports that Common Core may have enhanced the rigor of states' proficiency standards.
• Anna J. Egalite (North Carolina State University) demonstrates that inclusion of classmates with emotional and behavioral disabilities has unintended consequences for classmates' absenteeism rates.
• Michael Henderson (Louisiana State University) finds little evidence of a public backlash against standardized testing.
• R. Shep Melnick (Boston College) argues that the current federal equity initiative is the wrong solution to the problem of low educa- tional outcomes among minority children.
• Martin R. West (Harvard) shows that public schools reap unexpected benefits from an economic downturn when entry-level teacher salaries look more enticing..

It has become standard wisdom that tax increases on the rich are a necessary part of any bipartisan deal to avoid federal financial meltdown. It is simply not possible to talk to any member of the media about the substantial problems in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, or other entitlements without the first response being "but don't revenues have to be on the table?" Why?
It's not like the numbers work. Obama's budget itself proves that. The projected Obama budget deficit (as priced by the Congressional Budget Office) in 2021 is $1.2 trillion — and this assumes that the economy is back to full employment and that Obama has successfully raised taxes on rich people (which currently raise only $46 billion annually). Raising taxes just is not a serious solution to the debt explosion.
It is also contrary to the stated desire of the president, his Bowles-Simpson Commission, the House budget, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee to achieve fundamental tax reform. Tax reform means lowering rates and broadening the base. These proposals raise rates and make tax reform harder.
Growth issues are paramount at this juncture, but some will insist that the proposals are needed as a matter of fairness — the rich should pay for their fair share of government. I find this absolutely bizarre. For most Americans, the largest tax they pay is the payroll tax. But those taxes fund Social Security and Medicare, and the vast majority of those paying will get back in benefits dramatically more than they are paying in, so they come out ahead.
The bottom line is that a small minority is paying for all of the government Americans enjoy. Why is it fair that they be required to pay more?
Moreover, if you are obsessed with fine-tuning the ratio of contributions to government services for the rich, why not simply do the obvious and means-test more aggressively Social Security, Medicare, and other entitlements (e.g., farm programs)? This would be "fair," address the real problem of spending, and improve growth. What am I missing?
This leads me to the sad conclusion that the only reason that taxing the rich has to be "on the table" is pure jealousy. Is jealousy really a good public policy? And why is it accepted as a "fact" by the mainstream media?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Hasek Disappointed With His Play
by Paul on 04/17/08 at 09:32 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Tennessean,
The teams now head back to Joe Louis Arena for Game 5 Friday. Babcock will have to decide whether he goes back to Hasek, who was 27-10-3 this season for the team that posted the NHL's best record in the regular season, or sticks with Osgood (27-9-4).
"I'm pretty sure (what I'll do), but I always like to take a deep breath first and then decide what I'm going to do," Babcock said.
Still, it's a decision that's likely to be subject of great debate in Hockeytown.
But there was no discernable discussion about making a change after Game 3, when Hasek said he should have stopped a couple slap shots that found the net in Nashville's 5-3 win.
He was, unsurprisingly, even more upset after the Game 4 loss.
"Very disappointing," he said. "Last 60 minutes, worst hockey I've played in my life. I have nothing to say about it. I feel very bad about myself.''

Lemaire Lost Control Of His Players
by Paul on 04/17/08 at 01:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Patrick Reusse of the Star-Tribune,
Did you ever feel cheated watching the Wild players in the spring of '03? Not once, not even when they couldn't get a puck past Anaheim goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere to save their lives.
On Tuesday, the Wild players cheated their coach, and cheated the masses in Minnesota who stayed up in anticipation of another taut, terrific hockey game.
The Avalanche came out flying and the Wild retreated. Mikko Koivu was one exception to that, but he didn't have much company.

Senators Season Is Over
by Paul on 04/17/08 at 12:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Allen Panzeri of the Ottawa Citizen
The Ottawa Senators' 2007/2008 season came to an official, if not also ignominious, end Wednesday night when the Pittsburgh Penguins swept them with a 3-1 win.
The season, however, really ended a long time ago.
You can pick any number of incidents that might have been the catalyst.
But it might have starting going off the rails as long ago as last Sept. 5, when Ray Emery, on his way to a workout at the Bell Sensplex, got into a road rage episode with a senior citizen who had accidentally cut him off

No To 84 Games
by Paul on 04/16/08 at 09:57 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Globe and Mail,
The league's board of governors has rejected the idea of expanding the season by two games a team because of complications and timing, according to NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly.
"It's accurate that we are no longer considering an 84-game schedule for the 2008-09 season, but that it remains a possibility for the 2009-10 season," Daly said in an e-mail yesterday.
"I think it was a combination of it becoming too late in the scheduling process for next season to effectuate a change, as well as the fact that we weren't agreeable with the union's condition that it be changed on a one-year, trial basis only."

Ovechkin Wants To Win
by Paul on 04/16/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Dan Gelston of the AP via USA TODAY,
Is he frustrated by his lack of production? Nope
Is the Flyers physical play affecting him? Nah.
Would a possible line change help? Hope so.
About the only thing Ovechkin would admit after Wednesday's practice is that he's had enough of the losing. Philadelphia owns a 2-1 series lead over the Capitals and Washington, which entered the postseason as one of the hottest teams in the league, has lost consecutive games for the first time since Feb. 23-24 entering Thursday night's Game 4.
"I'm frustrated we're losing," Ovechkin said. "It's not about scoring, it's about winning."

Talking About An Injury

from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
Did former Boston Bruins general manager Harry Sinden break a golden rule in hockey when he revealed that Boston captain Zdeno Chara has been playing with sore ribs in an interview with the Boston Globe in today's edition?
Sinden was asked for his opinion on a variety of subjects and players, and when queried for his thoughts on Chara, the former Bruins president stated, "We've got a hell of a leader in Chara, but I think he's hurting right now. This rib injury. He's playing OK, but he's not as aggressive."

Ryan Miller Blogs

Over at Maxim, Ryan Miller is blogging the playoffs in a weekly report. From today's entry, he's got a few thoughts to share on watching Avery the other night:
The NHL weighed in and will now interpret any actions like that as interference. Ya think? It is like when a kid is trying to annoy someone by getting as close as they can without actually touching them…the whole time yelling "I'm not touching you…I'm not touching you!" The best part is that it almost looks like Chris Drury skates over during the play to tell him to get in position. Haha.

Devils/Rangers Series Got More Interesting
by Alanah McGinley on 04/16/08 at 06:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
From Jeff Marek at CBC,
So, how many more people will be watching and paying attention to the Devil/ Rangers game four tonight at Madison Square Garden now that Sean Avery has acted like a one-man ticket booth?
What will he do tonight? Will he be nasty or a saint?
Will he stand in front of Martin Brodeur face-to-face? How will the Devils react?
By turning around to face Brodeur and distract him the way he did Sean Avery single handedly made this a much more interesting series.
Update 4:59pm ET: Steve notes that NHL Network Online is having it's inaugural Cisco All-Access pre-game show, featuring Don LaGreca and E.J. Hradek, airing at 5:55pm ET tonight. Join them and a special guest as they break down Game 4 of the Rangers-Devils series from every angle.

Taking a Time Out

Comments (0)
From TSN:
Calgary Flames assistant coach Rich Preston and Flames captain Jarome Iginla got into a very heated argument during a video session this morning.
The argument was based on a disagreement between coach and captain over coverage in game four last night.
Flames coach Mike Keenan acknowledges the argument took place and admits it was heated but says Iginla later apologized and the two were put into a room together to settle their differences. ''All brothers scrap,'' Keenan joked. ''However, that doesn't mean then don't care for each other, in fact it' the opposite,'' he told TSN.ca.
They "care for each other"? This mellow, 'kinder, gentler' version of Iron Mike is hard to get used to…
Update 5:33pm ET: More on Flames frustrations from Eric Duhatschek at the Globe & Mail.

(from NSA release)
Michael Moran's McDynamo clinched his third steeplechase Eclipse Award with a determined victory in the $150,000 Colonial Cup (NSA-I) at Springdale Race Course near Camden, S.C., Sunday.The 9-year-old son of Dynaformer followed Mon Villez throughout and challenged the leader at the top of the long stretch. Mon Villez fought back and pressed the favorite over the final quarter-mile. McDynamo summoned more, however, and won by a length over Mon Villez with Hirapour a half-length back in third. Hirapour, the champion 'chaser of 2004, pulled up lame despite losing by just 1 1/2 lengths and the 10-year-old will likely be retired by Eldon Farm and trainer Doug Fout.McDynamo covered the 2 3/4 miles and 17 fences in 5:16 1/5.Trained by Sanna Hendriks and ridden by Jody Petty, McDynamo came into the race off a historic fourth consecutive win in the Breeders' Cup Grand National (NSA-I) Oct. 28, but needed the Colonial Cup to ensure an Eclipse Award. The Kentucky-bred gelding left no doubt, sewing up the 2006 earnings title with $285,000 - including the $90,000 Colonial Cup winner's check. Also the 2003 and 2005 champion, McDynamo would become the seventh three-time steeplechase champion."He definitely had to work today, but that's what makes him the horse he is," said Petty. "When I needed it, he gave it to me. He was all out today and showed he wanted to win it more than anyone else."McDynamo improved to 3-for-4 this year (including three consecutive wins), and 14-for-22 overall in steeplechase races. His career bankroll, an American steeplechase record, stands at $1,163,104."It was really nerve-wracking today," said Hendriks. "It looked to me like maybe the Breeders' Cup took more out of him than I saw, but he had great jumps down the backside and did that on pure guts. You don't know if they're going to have that until they need it, and he found a lot extra. It's pretty special to be associated with him. He's got that unbelievable determination to win. To keep coming up with performances like that is something."Also the Colonial Cup winner in 2003 and 2005, McDynamo ended his rivalry with Hirapour with four wins and two losses in six meetings. The Colonial Cup meet ended the 2006 steeplechase season with individual awards going to Jonathan Sheppard (champion trainer with 26 wins to 22 for Hendriks); Danielle Hodsdon (champion jockey with 21 wins); and Kinross Farm (champion owner with $376,975).

Hearty Beef Stew
5 minutes of prep for a rich, wholesome stew? You can't beat that.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: Johnny Miller
Source: Everyday Food, December 2012
- 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with green chiles
- Coarse salt and pepper
- 3/4 pound small potatoes, halved
- 1/2 pound frozen peas and carrots, thawed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large heavy pot, toss beef with flour. Stir in tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high, transfer to oven, and cook 1 hour. Stir in potatoes and cook until beef and potatoes are tender, about 1 hour more. Stir in peas and carrots and let sit 5 minutes before serving.
Cook's Notes
This can also be made in a slow cooker: Reduce water to 1/2 cup, add potatoes at the beginning with the other ingredients, and cook on high for 5 hours.

Yes, it's VERY basic, but they're in process of upgrading what was clearly once a mom-and-pop type of motel. The location is convenient, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the price fair.
