Dreidels have four [Hebrew] letters on them, and they stand for the saying, "Nes Gadol Haya Sham,"meaning "a great miracle occurred there." In Israel, instead of the fourth letter "shin," there is a "peh," which means the saying is "Nes Gadol Haya Po"--"a great miracle occurred here."
Playing with the dreidel is a traditional Hanukkah game played in Jewish homes all over the world, and rules may vary. Here's how to play the basic dreidel game:
1. Any number of people can take part in this great game.
2. Each player begins the game with an equal number of game pieces (about 10-15) such as pennies, nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, chocolate gelt etc.
3. At the beginning of each round, every participant puts one game piece into the center "pot." In addition, every time the pot is empty or has only one game piece left, every player should put one in the pot.
4. Every time it's your turn, spin the dreidel once. Depending on the outcome, you give or get game pieces from the pot:
a) Nun means "nisht"or "nothing" [in Yiddish]. The player does nothing.
b) Gimmel means "gantz"or "everything" [in Yiddish]. The player gets everything in the pot.
c) Hey means "halb"or "half" [in Yiddish]. The player gets half of the pot. (If there is an odd number of pieces in the pot, the player takes half of the total plus one).
d) Shin (outside of Israel) means "shtel" or "put in" [in Yiddish]. Peh (in Israel)means "pay." The player adds a game piece to the pot.
5. If you find that you have no game pieces left, you are either "out" or may ask a fellow player for a "loan."
6. When one person has won everything, that round of the game is over!

Sullivan County Manager David Fanslau was wrong to dismiss residents' interest in the 2012 proposed budget as partisan politics. People want the budget to see where the money is going and whose taxes will be raised and whose services, salaries and jobs will be cut to pay for it. One thing is sure: none of this money will be taken from top county management or elected officials.
County legislators loudly lament the lack of cooperation from the unions, exhorting them to work with legislators to give back more. But county employees have finally gotten tired of playing Charlie Brown to the county's Lucy. In late 2008, Fanslau took over contract negotiations, assembled a cabal of county management, legislators and union negotiators, and crafted a separate side arrangement giving double-digit salary increases to a select few management and union employees in conjunction with significant salary increases and benefits for legislators.
In October of 2009, the county announced they were negating the modest three percent increase for most other management employees because the county wouldn't afford it. On November 18 of 2009, it was announced that the salaries payable that year to some county legislators would be about $21,000 and the chairman would get $30,606. In December 2010, after extorted as much as they could from the rank-and-file employees on the pretext of saving jobs, these same county fat cats approved further layoffs anyway, saying this was the only way to cut expenses. In a January, 2011 open letter to county employees, legislators claimed that the average employee's salary was about $42,000, before costs of benefits were added in. If you still have a job, is your salary $42,000 a year? Then this past August, county legislators quietly passed a resolution to "set salaries of certain management-confidential employees" in excess of $60,000. It appears that cutting salaries to save only applies to workers. Throughout all the years of bloodletting, the 2008 increases and benefits for the hand picked few have remained untouched.
Perhaps the most significant thing people should remember as they vote this year is that all of the sacrificing has been forced on County residents and employees. With all the hand wringing and crocodile tears about the pain these cuts cause them, not one of the county's top management or elected officials has given back a dime of their own self awarded, ill gotten gains. So the next time you hear how we all have to pull together and sacrifice for the good of the county, ask yourself who has been sacrificed and who is slipping away unscathed. Please don't forget to vote. You may not know all of the other candidates, but you know exactly what you'll get if the Laura, Moe, and Curly incumbents are returned to office.

And if I'm truly trying to reduce my output should I do it more than Kelly Mom says. They make it sound like it's mostly for engorgement and that you need to be acareful not to lower your supply....which is what I am trying to do. Thanks for your help anyone who has input on this. I am a little unsure as to what is going on that make cabbage reduce your supply. But whatever will work! I've posted before about OS and OALD.

Over the next few weeks, Phillies Nation will break down each player on the Phillies roster and grade their 2009 season on a very unofficial 1-10 scale. The players will be chosen in no particular order.
It was this time a year ago when a quandary was born. Give a 45-year old, soft-tossing lefty a two-year deal, or risk the idea of him walking and latching on somewhere else. The Phillies chose the former, and are now dealing with what looks like a bit of a mistake.
In 2008, Jamie Moyer, now 46, led the Phillies in wins with 16 and his ERA sunk like a rock to uncharted depths for a man of his age; 3.71. His ERA hadn't been that low since 2003, the same season he won 21 games. Could he do it again?
Didn't work out that way in 2009. Moyer finished with a team high 12 wins (tied with J.A. Happ and Joe Blanton) but his ERA was shade under five. That ERA is somewhat misleading, as he lowered it late in the year as a spot starter and relief pitcher. In the process, he allowed seven home runs more in '09 than the previous season (20 to 27) and did so in 34 less innings.
Bullpen killer is the proper term to use here. Moyer went seven or more innings just four times. He gave up four or more earned runs in a game, count 'em, 13 times. Yeeesh. Clearly, age caught up to the iron man, and fortunately for the Phillies, it did not harm them too badly. Sure, they will have to pay Moyer $6.5 million in 2010 as part of that two year, $13 million deal he signed this time last year.
You have to give Moyer props for what he has accomplished here. Coming in as a trade deadline pick-up in 2006, it seemed as though the man would never age. He started eight games that year, winning five of them. In the process, his hometown was behind him, rooting on the native son. The 2007 season didn't go swimmingly, but he proved durable and won 14 games. His 2008 performance then pushed the Phillies into a hard decision. They made the wrong one, but it was hard not to. Jamie Moyer proved his worth for so long, and it could be that the franchise felt they needed him around, not just as a fifth starter, but as a player-coach; one that could help the likes of Cole Hamels, J.A. Happ, and just about anyone that would listen.
In that regard, it's hard to fault the Phils for the contract extension. Next season, however, Moyer could find himself in the unemployment line. Is it the right move to see if he can get that mojo back? Or is it too late?
Moyer is clearly past his prime, and it's unlikely he regains the magic of 2008. He seemed unhappy in the bullpen, and there is a chance someone picks him up as a fifth starter, but for the Phillies, it doesn't appear he fits very well into future plans beyond Spring Training. Given the contract situation and his desire to continue to play, he deserves a shot in Clearwater.
If it is truly the end of the line for Moyer in Philly, it was a hell of a run, to say the least. Not many players get to play in the Major Leagues for a decade, let alone two. They certainly don't get to play until they're 46; but Jamie Moyer has done it. Will he do it for one more season here? It's unlikely, but you can never say never because Moyer is a bulldog. As for 2009, I'm sure he'd rather forget it altogether.
2009 numbers: 30 games, 25 starts, 12-10, 4.90 ERA, 94 K/43 BB, 27 HR, 1.36 WHIP, .279 BAA
GRADE: 4/10: It was not a great year for Moyer as he struggled out of the gate. He did well at times later in the year, mostly spot starting, however, when he does not hit his spots or get the edges of the plate, it tends to be a long game. Moyer had several of those in '09.

moyer still was tied for the team lead in wins. Yes, at times I thought he was going to be lit up like a gasoline-soaked torch. He has been shelled more times than a bag of pistacios, but he still deserves a chance to make this team. Few players are in that category. One does not win 260 games in the majors, last 20 years, with such soft pitches and uncommon gaul. Moyer, regardless of whether he makes the club, deservies a shot. He may surprise all of us and come to spring training with an effective knuckleball. Who knows?
Pat, how does a player receive a 40% rating when he won 50% of his starts? Makes no sense to me.
btw: I wouldn't bring him back. Time to get younger with the starters.
bring him back as a coach
Moyer deserves to be in the Phillies Rotation more so that Hamels (who deserves a trip to Rookie Ball)
4… slightly below average?
I'd say more like a 2. Look at that nasty ERA… Sorry Jamie. I think he'll back next year though as our 5th starter.
(ERA as a starter)
A pitcher who doesn't throw seven or eight innings all the time is not going to have a particularly good ERA. Even the so-called "quality" start is only six innings and yields an ERA of 4.50. Moyer's really wasn't all that much higher, and was actually better than most of the Brewers' staff.
This is not to say Moyer pitched very well, just that he wasn't as bad as some people want him to be. He deserves a shot, at least. He makes too much for a number five starter or a long reliever, but he'd be making way too much–almost as much as Adam Eaton made–if he's released. And maybe he didn't like the bullpen, but his performance in relief didn't show it.
Another pitcher who wasn't as bad as some people want him to be is Cole Hamels. Rookie ball?
There is definately something special about a guy who can get the much needed win in last year's game 4, even when he was sick the night and day of game. Or his relief appearances when Pedro was knocked out of the game early due to rain. I think this is a guy who would be an excellent coach……he is a great resource
4 is harsh. He struggled but found redemption. One of my favorite games of the year was when he threw 6 dazzling innings after one of many rain shortened Pedro starts. He also won the big 250 this year. I tend to agree that we should pursue other avenues for a starter but he definately deserves a chance to earn his job back against Kendrick and Drabeck I'm assuming.
agreed, should become a coach.
The trouble with Moyer being a starter is is that the team is automatically handicapped by four or five runs with each of his starts, if his performance next year winds up being similar to this past season. You would think that this would be demoralizing to a team to go out there each game that Moyer starts and right off the bat find yourself behind four or five runs, some of the times even before you get up to bat in the first inning. Jamie is a great guy and humanitarian and I would have no problem with them keeping him on for another year but I would not offer him the fifth starting pitcher slot. Would use him as a pitcher-coach, spot starter and long relief. Promising him the fifth slot would be a hindrance to younger pitching talent.
With all his years maybe Moyer has experimented with a knuckleball,that seems to be the only hope.
As far as a coach goes, god knows something is wrong Dubee sits while Charlie let Pedro go 130 pitches? No matter what dumb thing Charlie does pitching wise Dubee doesn't seem to react. The worse mistake of the year was the first no leaving
Hamels in Florida for a couple weeks and sorting out the starter
while Hamels gained strength and to top it off by putting Hamels in a cold exhibition game. Something is wrong there.
Is it Charlie or Dubee?? With Moyer to turn to the young pitchers had no help. Moyer for pitching coach yeah.
It's hard to argue with the numbers, and I think the Phils need to get younger, but also think there is value in keeping him in the pen as an long reliever/extra starter. The money's spent, and are you really keeping that 11th pitching slot for someone who is going to add more value then Moyer? I'd give him a 3 in the first half, 6 in the second. Not a big fan of Dubee, think Moyer is an excellent mentor, and would make a great pitching coach (although they usually make a tad less than $6.5M).
The problem with Moyer this year was not the team finding themselves four or five behind at the start. The problem with Moyer was that he could give up runs in an unpredictable manner. He could sail along through three or four innings, then suddenly give up five runs. On the other hand, there were times when he'd give up a few runs early, then settle in for the rest of the outing. You can't tell what's happening when none of his pitches can break a pane of glass. One badly located pitch from Moyer is a disaster, whereas one from a fireballer may still not be hit well.
I doubt he's a lock for fifth starter at this point, but with his salary he'll likely be some part of the staff. All this, of course, is assuming he returns 100% from his surgery.
I didnt want to be rude and give him a 2. That's showing little respect for the guy who has done so much in his career and in his short time here. I thought a 4 was proper.
kinda funny that Jamie Moyer lead the team in WINS again this year…
Does this finally prove to everyone that WINS for a pitcher are the least important stat line????
To all the people crying that Hamels had "a losing record" …. WINS are nice to have, but its a team-stat … not an individual pitching state, like ERA or WHIP
What's up here? I posted one item only once, yet it appears twice.
Wins average out. Sometimes a pitcher is bailed out by his offense, sometimes a great performance is wasted by zero runs scored for that pitcher, or by a bullpen meltdown. Moyer lived through both this year, as did others on the staff. To me, 12 wins is 12 wins. Some are legit, some aren't.
I think the real problem people have with Moyer is that he made too much money for his performance this year. He did as well as most fifth starters, but he was being paid like he was close to an ace. Sure, he was horrible at times. So were lots and lots of other pitchers. Blanton was abominable the first month. Lee had a stretch of terrible starts after his first few superb ones. Hamels had problems throughout the season.
It's not Moyer's fault the front office gave him so much money. He's a fifth starter, people, and as a fifth starter he did pretty much as I'd expect.
I'm a Moyer supporter… so many people bash him because he's old and doesn't throw hard. I say, "So what?" The guy legitimately won 12 games… if you look at the game logs, there are only two games that he won which he should not have won. Yes, winning is a team stat but Moyer put our team in the position to win games. He wasn't great but he wasn't terrible as a 5th starter. Fourteen appearances of 6 ip and 4 ER or less… I would say that his sub 5 ERA is not misleading… the only reason it's "misleading" is because you feel like it should be higher.
Ruben made the right move by going out and getting Pedro Martinez; they needed a spark heading into the postseason but Jamie was serviceable during the regular season.
I'm not sure if he'll be able to give us anything next year but he's going to try, that's for sure. Hopefully, he finds the wizardry that he manufactured in 2008. If he does not rebound from this surgery, I hope that he is true to himself and his team… hang em up.
I'd say a 4 was a fair rating, given that Blanton wasn't even given a 6 and he was downright nasty for a good potion of the season.
Good article, although I think 4 is a little harsh.
The W-L stat is not really relevant as far as I'm concerned, although others would disagree.
Moyer deserves a shot in Clearwater, although if he pitches like he did is Spring Training last year I can't see him making the roster. It took him a little while to get going in the regular season if I remember correctly.
Either way, it was great to have him in Philly. Who knows, maybe he brings back the magic for one more year!
I probably would give him a 5 because for the most part , he did what he was asked to do, especially after moving to the pen. He bailed us out a couple of times late in the season, and although I won't argue with a 4, I'd give him a 5, if just for the fact that I'm a member of the Jamie Moyer fanclub on fb.
Now that I think of it, I guess I regret not giving Joe a bit of a higher tally. Maybe 6.1. Let's call it 6.1 for Big Joe!
I like Moyer a lot, and he certainly deserves a chance in Clearwater, but it remains to be seen whether he's still got it. I didn't think he was bad this year, certainly not when compared to the disappointment of Hamels and Lidge, but I know I'm in the minority. I definitely like the idea of him as a coach, though, because he so clearly enjoys giving the younger pitchers advice, and he seems to be good at it.
Pat you "didnt want to be rude and give him a 2. That's showing little respect for the guy who has done so much in his career and in his short time here. I thought a 4 was proper." Hmm, now I am VERY interested to see what you will give Princess (Hamels). Everyone on here knows you were overly critical of the 5th (FIFTH) starter in 2009, and barely critical at all of the pitcher who was supposed to be our ACE! I mean Blanton was one of the most consistent starters, and you gave him a 5.8 out of 10 (4.05 ERA with a 12-8 record, giving up 4 or more runs in 9 games) I can only imagine what you will give Hamels. I am sure you will give Hamels above a 5 because everyone knows he is your favorite, but really, if Hamels gets anything above a 4, you need to check you math. Considering Hamels ended with a 10-11 record, giving up 4 or more runs in 13 "count 'em, 13 times. Yeeesh. " thats the same number as Moyer, and Hamels had only 7 more starts, with only 31.2 more innings than Moyer. Is that to say Moyer had a good year, NO. However, the point it, you are looking at a #5 starter who had SIMILAR stats (only slightly worse) than who was supposed to be the ACE. I think you need to look at position in the rotation. I dont think a 4 is far off, I think a 5 is more fitting considering he was supposed to be that 5th starter, I think I probably would have given Blanton a solid 6 instead of short changing him, and when Hamels comes up considering he was supposed to be the Ace, I would give him a 3. You assessment of giving Moyer only a 2, but giving him a 4 because you wanted to show "respect" was completely off.
Pat, I saw the next post about giving Blanton a 6.1 after I posted that, my bad. I agree that Moyer is supposed to an "average" pitcher. My point was not to say Moyer had a good or great year, but personall I think between a 4 or 5 is about right. I dont thing 4 is too far off. My point is more curiousity of Hamels. I have been one of the VERY few who was critical of Hamels, and didnt give him a free pass. Like another said, he wasnt too far off when he should have been, unlike Hamels and Lidge. Moyer is supposed to be an average pitcher, and we wasnt to far off of being average. Hamels is supposed to be an ace, and he was FAR worse. Lidge was supposed to be a premier closer (not expected to be perfect again, but not a 7+ ERA) and he beyond bad. I am curious of those two rankings. All I was saying is what you just pointed out. You have to look at things and what they are expected to be. Moyer was expected to be an average pitcher, he was slightly below average overall. Blanton was supposed to be average, and just as you changed it, it was above average, Hamels was supposed to be an Ace, or WELL above average, and we was below average, Lidge…Nuff said. Personally, and I know Hamels and Lidge arent out yet, but I would rank them as Blanton 6.1 exactly as you said, Moyer closer about 4.5, not too far off, Hamels 3 to 3.5 and Lidge about 2. I wasnt saying you were far off. The only one I thought was pretty far off was the comment about giving him a 2 but bumping it to 4 for respect. LOL.

Has anyone noticed how the media and even the president are feeding us misleading information that could be labeled as propaganda.
The latest is when Michael Bloomberg and the gun ban crowd put out the statistic that there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. The president and the media lapped it up and reported it as fact when there have been only 15 shootings on school property involving teachers or students. Now, that is too many, but a long way from 74!
The number of 74 school shootings was investigated by the FBI, CNN and the Bureau of Justice Statistics and found to be false. These facts could have easily been checked out by reporters and the president's aides.
Why did the president and the media report the erroneous statistics? To make guns the scapegoat and not the shooter? Ya think! But the real question is: are the president and the media only dupes or are they complicit in the deceit?

The Honolulu Police Department says one of its officers shot a 35-year-old Kalihi man multiple times Friday who was threatening the officer and had a metal stake in his hand.
It happened at around 11 a.m. at a home located at 1618 Machado Street.
The officer responded to call for a domestic dispute and found the man arguing with family members in the front yard.
Police say the man approached the officer's vehicle with a foot-long metal stake in his hand and threatened the officer.
"As the officer exited his vehicle, the male raised the stake overhead, and was within a few feet of the officer, when the officer drew and fired his weapon," Assistant Police Chief Dave Kajihiro told reporters during a late afternoon news conference.
The shooting victim was identified as Ralph Riveira. His brother, Ryan Riveira, questioned whether the officer used excessive force.
"I think that it would be more important to maybe use a Taser, but five shots," Riveira told KITV4. "Come on... it's disturbing."
Neighbors say they heard three to five gunshots.
"I was cooking, and then I heard gunshots, so I ran over here and looked and there was a police officer standing there and the guy was on the ground," said Donna Dara, who lives nearby. "I was pretty worried."
Riveira was hospitalized in critical condition at the Queen's Medical Center, according to police.
Kajihiro says after Riveira was shot, the 54-year-old mother of the victim, Nadeen Lane, picked up the metal stake and threatened the officer. She was arrested and police opened a terroristic threatening case against Lane and her son.
Police say Riveira had seven convictions and six of them were felonies. The felonies were for second-degree theft and first-degree burglary.
Mobile users can click here to see photos from the scene.
The theft charge came in November 2008. Five burglary charges date back to August 1996. He was found guilty of all of the charges. Parole for Riveira was revoked in February 2002.
Riveira and his girlfriend have a baby, and live at the house where the shooting occurred, according to family members.
A portion of Machado Street was closed while police investigated. Even people who live there couldn't get to their homes during the police investigation.
The officer who fired his weapon is a 21-year veteran of HPD District 5, which covers Kalihi Valley. The officer has been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard practice after a police shooting. Internal affairs is conducting an investigation.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
" El Paso is very multi-cultural, and I thought
that was a perfect place for me to study international business."
George White was the first to graduate from the PhD program in International
Business in May (2008) here at the University of Texas at El Paso. Dr. White is
an example to the CoBA students not only because of his great achievements, but
also for his humble and determined attitude.
After earning a BA from and studying as a graduate at the University of
Alabama, George received a Chinese Language Scholarship to study Mandarin
Chinese at Feng Chia University in Taiwan. There George also taught English as a
second language at night. After a while one of his employers wanted him to
permanently stay in Taiwan and sponsored him in applying for a permanent
residency card. In order to do this, George had to leave the country and decided
to go to the Philippines with one of his friends whom owned a textile
manufacturing plant in Manila. While he was there he met his wife, Arceli.
After getting married and living in the Philippines for several months, he
decided to come back to the U.S and applied to take the LSAT (which is the
entrance exam for law school). He subsequently received a JD, a doctorate in
law, with a concentration in international law from Thomas M. Cooley Law School
in Michigan. While in Michigan, he published several articles in international
law journals such as Texas International Law Journal and the North Carolina
Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation.
After that, he obtained an internship in Washington D.C. at the U.S. Agency
for International Development (USAID) where he assisted in drafting
international commerce policy instruments such as micro-finance initiatives for
poor women and single mothers in India. After deciding that one law degree was
not enough, he moved to Atlanta to pursue a second law degree, an LLM (an
advanced law degree) in international commercial law), at Emory University.
Although he had obtained a well-rounded education, George felt that his "book
on Asia was not yet closed." He sent his resume out to various institutions and
was offered a visiting professorship teaching International commercial law and
globalization classes at a major university (Hebei normal University) just south
of Beijing. He also helped the university internationalize their academic
programs. While he was in China, a friend of his (performing research on China),
Robert Bejesky, encouraged him to pursue a PhD in international business. He
said he had not considered it yet, but he looked around and saw that UTEP had
just started its international Ph.D. program. George decided to apply and was
very excited to be accepted into the program.
George has received several recognitions for his work, yet he believes that
his greatest accomplishment is receiving his PhD because it is a research degree
that requires hard work and perseverance. As he describes it, "there is a
faculty—your doctoral committee—that determines if you are worthy or not of
defending your dissertation and ultimately receiving your Ph.D. When they think
that you prepared then they will allow you to move through the process." George
has received other recognition as well. When he left China, Hebei Normal
University honored him by naming him as an Honorary Professor of Global
Commerce. While at UTEP George also received several research awards as well as
travel grants and scholarships, earned an MBA, and has published in
international business journals such as International Business Review and the
International Journal of Conflict Management.
However, in every road to success there are obstacles along the way; George
confessed that his greatest obstacle along the way has been himself. He told us
that the people that he worked with would possibly describe him as a stubborn
person since he had a "go it alone" type of mentality. He claims that his
biggest flaw is not being able to listen to others, but he is working hard to
improve it. As he said, "when you go through life and people always tell you
that you cannot do something, eventually you learn to block people out."
Although George has been working hard to reach his goals, he also finds time
within his busy schedule to be an active member of the community. He has been
part of the organizations such as the Academy of International Business and
Academy of Management. He knows that being a member of an organization
proves to be truly beneficial, stating "I highly encourage my students to get
involved with organizations that interest them because they can develop networks
and connections which can lead to future job opportunities and long-lasting
Right now George is moving to the School of Management at the University of
Michigan-Flint where he will be an Assistant Professor of International
Business. At the University of Michigan-Flint, he will teach an MBA course
entitled "Managing in a Global Environment" and undergraduate courses in
international business and international management. He also plans to continue
performing research and writing on how regulations and laws impact multinational
enterprise strategies in emerging markets. He also looks forward to playing an
active role in a new Global MBA program the School is currently developing.
Congratulations and good luck George. We wish you the best!

General welcomed back to capital
Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo Ret. Gen. Richard Cody, a 1968 graduate of Montpelier High School, addresses students at the school Friday during an assembly on service and leadership in the 21st century.
MONTPELIER Gen. Richard Cody, a retired four-star general who came up through the ranks at Montpelier High School, returned to his alma mater Friday afternoon to share with students, staff and faculty his story, as well as inspiration for how the coming generation of young Americans can serve their nation as leaders, whether or not they choose to wear a uniform.
Cody is a graduate of the Class of 1968, and the message board in front of the high school was changed to welcome him back for the days events. After high school he went on to West Point and ascended through the ranks to become a four-star general and the 31st vice chief of staff of the Army. He retired in 2008, and serves today as the chairman of the board for Homes for our Troops, a national nonprofit organization which builds handicapped-accessible homes for disabled veterans and their families.
Cody served in the Army for 36 years, and was one of fewer than 40 four star generals in all of the armed forces combined at the time of his retirement.
His visit was sponsored by the Montpelier High School Boosters, who are also hosting a dinner tonight in Codys honor at the Capitol Plaza Hotel as part of their Celebration of Excellence program.
A short film presented to Cody at his retirement, about eight minutes in length, was shown, with photos of him as a young boy growing up here to his high school sports accomplishments in newspaper headlines of the day, his high school photo, shots of him during his career in the Army and during his time at West Point, at his wedding, with his children, and with the troops with whom and for whom he served for nearly four decades including several returning soldiers whose bodies had been tangled by war, and were in military hospitals with the General visiting their bedsides.
Cody was known as the G.I.s General, and at one time former President George H.W. Bush introduced Cody, quipping, Take a good look at him. Im glad hes on my side!
The film ended with Cody stating, You cant ever leave the Army, you just take the uniform off.
After the film, Cody shared stories of what it was like to be the second in command of the U.S. Army, with more than 1.1 million American men and women in active duty, the reserves and National Guard being his responsibility.
Its great to be back at Montpelier High School with the Solons, he said, offering a walk-back through his life before and after the Army by way of providing some life lessons to the hundreds of young people sitting before him in the same seats he once sat in.
I think back on all the things I learned in the schools here, began Cody, saying as he came of age and entered West Point, the United States was in troubled times, with riots playing out in Detroit and elsewhere and an unpopular war in Vietnam being waged. He said he enrolled at West Point with a desire to learn to fly helicopters, thinking hed be back home in Montpelier in five or six years working at his familys car dealership washing cars and changing oil. Instead, he rose through the ranks and ended up in the halls of the Pentagon.
I had no idea that I would spend four decades in uniform and travel all over this world, he told students, coming down off the stage with a microphone in hand to answer questions after he spoke for some time.
Cody credited his upbringing and family, and his teachers and coaches here with helping him to succeed, saying many of the people who supported him through the years in the citys schools saw potential in me, and encouraged him, as he encouraged the students before him in the assembly to choose the harder right over the easier wrong. He told the group that really everything they need to know in life they learned as little kids, from saying please and thank you to not cutting line, to holding hands with a friend going out to recess, to sharing toys, and cleaning up your toys when youre done. He urged the high schoolers to be kinder to one another, to support one another, to honor and respect the people in their company now and always.
My hope is you will reach the highest potential you have, no matter what it is, said Cody. Do whats right when everybody else wants you to do something different, he urged. He told the students to seek the whole truth versus the half truth in life.
Having traveled the world, including war zones in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, Cody said People want what you have, from clean water to plentiful food, sewers that work, books, schooling including for females and peace and safety. This is a great country. We need to make it better,
What type of American citizen do you want to be? Cody asked. He urged them to be the type that goes into this world to make a difference. He told them to be the people who can look themselves in the mirror and say, I did good.
Shelby Copans, 18, a junior, asked the general about the lessons he learned, and he responded, As a leader, you have to believe every day that everyone in your unit will do well. Everybody has great potential. ... Its your job to help them reach that potential. He also said he learned to not play favorites, because that really erodes team work.
Respect for each other, was another critical component, he said.
Students asked him about the Middle East, about the recent shooting at Fort Hood by a military man, and conflicts around the world.
Of Aghanistan, he said, Its not any better today than it was on 9/11, and I could make the case its worse. Some of the hopes to really change conflicts in other parts of the world are so deep culturally they are things that will take a century to try to change, but the U.S. over and over works to reduce violence, to stop things from boiling over, he said.
A major problem worldwide, he said, is the lack of job opportunity for young people, leading to unrest and recruitment by terrorists.
Samantha Flanagan, 15, a freshman, asked Cody about the recent shooting at Fort Hood, where Cody was twice stationed. That shooting left four dead, including the shooter, all members of the military.
Cody said the man was likely suffering from post traumatic stress, saying, When you mix guns and you have medical issues and mental health issues, its tragic. We need to figure out why cant we get medical and mental help they need to them faster?
In closing, Cody told students, You dont have to join the military to serve this country. You can serve this country in many ways, but if you go into the military, youll grow faster.
Treat each other well, take care of each other, he said, thanking those in the auditorium as they rose to their feet, applauding their hometown hero.
As the event closed, it was announced that Cody is donating a new custom-made, illuminated scoring table to his alma mater.
After the auditorium event, Cody was given a tour of the high school, and there was a reception for him in the library. Later Friday afternoon, Cody was celebrated during a meet and greet at VFW Post 792, an event sponsored by the Montpelier High School Boosters and the American Legion Post 3.

My little girl was born at 28 weeks and is now 33 weeks corrected and 3.8 lbs. She is still in SCBU and I visit for 2 feeds per day. I offer the breast, she latches on well for a couple of seconds and then slips off. I then offer the bottle and she guzzles it down!
I am aware that she needs to gain weight so don't want to make bottlefeeding unnecessarily difficult for her but am looking for recommendations for bottles that are as much like the breast as possible and will maybe help the transition? The ones we use in the hospital are ones supplied by a formula company and are a standard narrow teat.

Freedom New Mexico: Liliana Castillo
Clovis and Portales police officials said area drivers have lost their awareness of the rules of the road.
"I try to correct (the loss of the rules) when I can," said Roland Kroeger, master patrol officer with the Clovis Police Department. "When I stop you, it's usually for a safety violation. I'm not just trying to pull you over, I'm trying to improve driving habits," Kroeger said.
Kroeger said the biggest issue is how drivers handle uncontrolled intersections.
"People need to understand to yield to the right, always to the right. A lot of times people arrive at an intersection at the same time and they think they both own it," Kroeger said. "People just need to slow down."
Similar issues are seen in Portales, according to Capt. Lonnie Berry of the Portales Police Department.
"Typically what causes most of our accidents is failure to yield," Berry said. "Speed is a factor. People misjudge the speed a car is traveling at. The speed limit is 25, but they may be going 40-45, so they don't clear in time."
Motorists are required to pass a written and practical exam in New Mexico.
According to Clovis Municipal Court, the two citations given most in 2007 were speeding at 2,344 and no driver's license at 1,187.
Traffic citations by category in Clovis, according to the Municipal Court 2007 Offense Report.
• Speeding — 2,344
• No driver's license — 1,187
• Ran stop sign — 463
• Failure to obey traffic control — 407

It was a big week in starting the process of fixing a Bobcats team that went a historically worst 7-59 last season. First, the Bobcats swapped Corey Maggette for combo guard Ben Gordon and a future first-round pick. That served two purposes: Gordon's career 41 percent shooting from 3-point range goes far in addressing the Bobcats' league-worst shooting from the arc (29.5 percent). Also, the first-round pick (compensation for taking on $13.2 million next season for Gordon) will be a considerable asset.
The Bobcats considered trading down on draft night and had discussions with both the Cavaliers and Rockets. But general manager Rich Cho said that was just too risky once they locked in on Kidd-Gilchrist as their target.
Kidd-Gilchrist has flaws, particularly a shaky jump shot. But he's a versatile defender and is best offensively in transition -- and Dunlap is determined to play up-tempo going forward.
Taylor will join Gordon in the upgrade of the team's 3-point shooting. He was 42 percent from the college line as a senior at Vanderbilt.

I feel the same sense of extreme indifference that I did for the last one. His vocals have improved, but the compositions just aren't as exciting. So it's about on par.

I turned them down for the vocals with their debut, but now I can stand them a little more. In fact they sound somewhat similar to Protest The Hero, but heavier.
Ok record, I will revisit their debut I guess.

Description: This report discusses the issues involved with determining whether the Arecib Ionospheric Observatory is more cost-effective than replacing it with newer, available technology. The Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory is a radio and radar telescope located in Barrio Esperanza, Arecibo, Puerto Rico. In 2005-2006, NSF's Division of Astronomical Sciences (AST) conducted a Senior Review of its portfolio of facilities and reported that the scientific value of the Arecibo was modest when compared to other existing and proposed projects and recommended decreasing the telescope's annual $12.0 million budget to $9.0 million in FY2009, and securing partnerships for the remaining necessary funding.

Hey this is Reuben with Competition Accessories and we just wanted to make a quick video on how you change the face shield out on the Arai helmet. A lot of people get intimidated by Arai helmet face shields because of the side pod they have where you cant see whats going behind it. What we have done on this helmet here is we installed a clear pod so we could give you a better look at the inner workings of the base plate mechanism and show you how it works. Basically to remove the face shield what I want you to see is this little gray lever here, there are one of those on each side of the helmet. When you raise your shield to the top position those will pop out. Now if your helmet is a little older or a little worn out they might not pop all the way out like a brand new helmet. With the face shield all the way up you just need to lift those levers all the way up. Once you have lifted those until they click, to take the shield off is very simple, you are just going to grab it from the top , rotate it back and pull it off. It comes right off really quickly. You will see guys out at the track if you watch racing at all like the isle of man for instance, they will pull into the pits and they swap face shields on or off in just a matter of seconds. It is one of those things you have to get the hang of. To reinstall the shield is a little trickier, there is a horse shoe shape cut out on the end of the shield here, that's going to line up with the top curve on the helmet or the pod and with the clear ones you can see the round tab that its going to slide over. Your going to slide that in on both sides and its not going to really click or anything, you just have to get it down and on to there like that. Once its in I find it easier to have the helmet facing away from you and then you are just going to close the shield. When you close the shield what happens is this opening this cut out right here slides over that little notch right there, so that is what limits the shield as It opens. That's how to change the Arai face shield out, hopefully that helps you out. You can go to our youtube channel if you click on this link in the upper right hand corner and subscribe to us. We have a lot detailed videos on helmets and other products. You can also check us out on facebook and check us out online, see you next time.
Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories welcome to our review of the All new Arai Defiant full face street helmet. If your one of our YouTube subscribers your probably getting one of the first up close looks at this all new helmet from Arai , were really excited to show it to you sit back and relax because its going to take a while because this is a really awesome helmet and it comes with that Arai price tag its not a cheap helmet by any means but you'll see you do get what you pay for with a motorcycle helmet . First of all the new Arai Defiant has a very cool shape to it the base shape of the helmet is very similar to other Arai's, its a very organic round shell shape that Arai is famous for they believed very firmly in keeping the shell shape very simple so it does a really good job at distributing the impact forced over the broadest area possible , they look to the shape of an egg for inspiration very strong shape and the Defiant has does have a little bit different of a look to it especially in the chin area it has a very close to the face chin bar not so close that it was in the way for my face, and well talk about sizing in a minute. But i was able to touch the chin bar with my lips if i tried but not so close that it was uncomfortable or felt like it would be unsafe but definitely a very cool looking helmet for sure. Looking from the front of it and the Defiant name as it implies it has a bit of an attitude this particular one here is the asteroid graphic its available in several different colors this one right here is my favorite Kawasaki green , so definitely a nice looking helmet. Now talking about the shell i have a raw shell up here this is actually from an RXQ but this is going to have the very same design principals as the one that they are building for the Arai Defiant. So its an organic fiberglass shell these are actually hand made mold by hand by true professionals who have spent countless hours perfecting the art of creating a perfect uniform complete shell that its going to be incredibly strong, distribute impact over a broadest area possible , and Arai has really done their homework when it comes to saftey in helmets . So you can see its a very round shape one of the things i love to do with the helmet, if you have a helmet at home you can try this, grab the chin bar and give it a squeeze and you shouldn't be able to flex it much a little flex is okay because you want a little bit of deflecting force with the shell but with Arai i mean you cant really get it to budge , i could probably stand on this thing and it wouldnt move. So very very very strong shell materials are used in the construction, and that round shape is to not only spread the impact over a large area it also prevents catching on the ground so if your sliding its not going to have any hard edges to grab onto . In fact all the external things that Arai ever puts on the helmet like this rear wing they are actually designed to break off if you get hit with any amount of force when you crash that way you don't grab and twist your neck or anything like that. Speaking of the vents, you have a pretty neat vent system on the chin of this helmet . Now normally a chin bar vent just directs a little bit of air up onto the face shield to help reduce fogging and to be honest a lot of the time chin bar vents aren't very effective , some times you open them and you cant even tell if its open or closed some helmets are better then others . Looking at how this one is designed i think its actually going to be really effective , chin vent there's actually two positions you can see there are several openings in the front here. When you slide it down you can see it just opens this top slit that one actually directs air up onto the face shield much like the defroster of your car you can see the openings right here above the little breath deflector included. If you want more you can open it to the second position and that opens the four openings here the lower portion which directs air to your mouth , so if you look inside here it may be a little difficult to see there are actually some openings inside the chin bar here where that air is going to flow right through the chin bar and directly onto your face. So you should have plenty of air though the chin bar of this helmet . Very nice touch from Arai that you don't see a chin bar vent that will be that effective on most helmets . Moving up from there you have the brow vents now if your not familiar with Arai they use these on a few of their helmet models especially the Corsair V its well known for it and thats their top of the line race helmet, and its the vents that are built into the shield here. And you can see you can open and close them they actually do have two positions and they direct air not just to the forehead but actually to the temples and if you look here there's actually two intake ports that seal up next to the face shield and when you open it it actually directs air around to the temples and around your ears which is an area which most helmets miss when your looking at ventilation most helmets don't have any type of vents over the ears or the sides of the head here. So what Arai is doing is they are putting air in that area and it actually goes over your temporal artery which is one of the main artery's for your brain. Its really shown to keep you cooler, very effective vents . The other design influence that Arai has, on these vents is they don't want to compromise the shell in this area . Since you already have a large opening here in the helmet the most vulnerable part of the shell a very large opening to the eye port they feel that drilling any holes close to the edge here is going to really compromise on how well this helmet can protect you in a severe impact , that's the reason they build them onto the face shield , yes that does make their shields a little bit more pricey but the trade off is a helmet that is going to protect you a lot better. Moving up from there you have two intake vents on the top of this helmet that I'm already a huge fan of , they have a very unique closing system almost like a garage door,you slide it back it does have two positions and it is going to function like a ram air scoop. So as your riding air is going to be forced down inside the helmet just with the natural airflow as you ride but the other thing that is really nice about it is it seals up really well so Arai has already claimed this its going to seal up really well to prevent wind and water from entering the helmet . If its colder out acclimate weather conditions you can close these and that's also going to prevent wind noise too. Any time you have a real clean surface for the air to flow over like this its going to help keep the helmet quite its just a large chunky scoop that's just always up there in the air so definitely a nice design job by Arai there. You also have exhaust ports on this helmet, two on the sides here that are static ports these are always open , as you ride there an area of low pressure is formed that really helps to draw warm air out the back these also work very well in conjunction with the face shield vents , that vented air that coming through the face shield around your ears has somewhere to go right off the bat .Its a really effective way of keeping you cool . Then again under this rear wing which is designed for two purposes, its going to help the helmet stable at speed reduce lift it also really helps with the ventilation system to draw warm air out. You have two positions on this one here just slide it back to half way open slide fully back to have those fully open. So there's 3 vent holes across the top of the helmet here that you might not be able to see its kind of a translucent smoke on that rear spoiler . Now speaking of air flow there is a chin spoiler here that is designed to help reduce lift and buffeting at speed you can see it kind of protrudes forward a little bit and thats going to help keep the helmet stable it also directs air around the sides of the helmet here . Taking a look at the inside there's a few other things to notice before we get to the insides i will mention the fit . This is going to fit with Arai's Intermediate oval internal shape so that's going to be very similar to the Coarse Air V , I've worn lots of different Arai helmets this is the size Medium which is the size i pretty much always take in most helmet manufactures this helmet is extremely plush very comfortable inside but its my size it fits me very well so intermediate oval shape and one thing that they've done is they have increased the opening size at the base of the helmet so if you ever have a hard time getting your helmet on and off or get a lot of pressure on the ears this is going to help you pull it on and off really comfortably .There's another element to the design and that really factors in when your looking for comfort getting the helmet on and off , these cheek pads have emergency quick release on them. There's a little tab here that informs emergency personnel that they can pull these out , just give this orange tab a pull here you can see the cheek pads slide right out and what that does if you pull this out is it is going to enlarge the opening a bit further so now you can see how much larger the opening is on the inside. If you do go down maybe your incautious or they suspect a neck injury they can pull your cheek pads out which allows them to slide the helmet off your head with a lot less force committed to your neck or head. Going back to the fit and getting the helmet on and off though they have what they call their FCS which is facial contour system this is the way that the cheek pad actually conforms to your face to keep you comfortable you can see its got a real nice curve to it . There's actually a patented spring inside here and these are actually removable covers on the cheek pads I'm going to go ahead and pull this off so you can see how this works definitely a pretty neat design so its obviously fit on there pretty well but you can kind of slide it off get a look at it. Ill bring it back to there so you can see it , this is a patented spring that Arai has developed to keep the cheek pads right up near the cheeks that black portion there. And you can see if i push on it it actually springs back so what that does for you is pulling the helmet on or taking it off it pushes the cheek pad completely out of the way so its not pulling on your ears or anything and then once you've got the helmet on it pushes up against your skin cradles your face really comfortably and that does a couple of things. Obviously its comfortable easier to get your head in and out of the helmet but it also gives you a better seal so wind noise and unwanted air water coming from up inside the helmet underneath will be much significantly reduced so that's going to help keep you comfortable and keep the helmet a little bit quieter at speed the other thing that is really neat about this cheek pad is there is this 5 millimeter pad over the top here this grey pad that's actually removable so you can actually pull that off and gain 5 millimeters on each side in the cheek pad so in this helmet if it gets to you and in the cheek pads are just way too tight if its not going to get there with normal break in you can go ahead and remove this pad to customize the fit before needing to change a whole size of the cheek pads so that's really nice. And while were here you can also see the different density's of foam that Arai uses depending on what part of the face the cheek pad is touching they used different densities to give you a really good comfort the fabric they use everything is super soft so its very comfortable I'm a huge fan of the way Arai's Feel when they are on your head and rightly so they are an expensive helmet they should be really comfortable right . Taking a look at the inside here you do have a removable crown liner which we will go ahead and pull out here so you can see the ventilation. So just a few snaps and that's gonna come right out again very soft comfortable material very breathable material lots of openings for ventilation so it can reach your skin you can see the different densities of foam that they use in the liner system there these also have adjustable temples , so again here you have a layer of foam that is designed to be removed if you feel like you need a little bit more room on the side so very customizable when it comes to fit with the Arai Defiant. You've seen these types of design elements with the Signet Q which they've had out for a little while now but it has been very well received . Now taking a look at the inside here you do have plenty of ventilation we've already looked at the vents on the outside so you have a pretty good idea of where they are and a couple of intake vents at the front a few intakes at the back and again its going to flow lots of air through the liner now this is the EPS foam liner that is actually going to absorb impact in the event of a crash. Arai does a really good job at designing that to work with the shell and they use a one piece EPS liner with multiple densities of foam so depending on where the impact happens the optimum density of foam for that impact and for that location on the shell itself depending on how it can absorb and handle that impact. Lots and lots of research goes into these helmets one other detail we didn't mention yet is along with this little chin lip spoiler you also have an extend able chin curtain so if it is cold of you want a little bit more protection from the wind you can extend this out and its going to give you a little bit more flow of air over the bottom of the helmet again really reduces the amount of wind noise your going to get when your riding . Lastly well talk about the face shield this is Arai's SAI Max vision Shield that actually includes a pin lock insert so you might notice there are two small black posts on either side of this shield as well as a little lip that goes all the way around here and that is for the max vision pin lock insert what your going to do is remove the face shield and insert that pin lock lens in between those two posts and it actually sits it has a silicone bead that sits on that lip and it drops in and what that does it seals the inner shield from the outer shield there's a little bead of air in between the two and it insulates really well and is a very good solution for fogging issues if you live somewhere and it gets cold rains a lot where your dealing with fog putting in that pin lock insert will make a huge difference and we have a whole separate review video on the pin lock insert system if you want to check that out. Now to remove the face shield we have to talk about that , we have a whole separate video of that of how to remove your Arai face shield it kind of intimidates a lot of people . Arai is different they have what they call pods on the side they cover the base plate mechanism the reason Arai has done that if you look at the raw shell i have here is they have bolted on all the base plate mechanisms to the external part of the shell and that allows them to maintain the curvature as much as possible with out having to make more of a recesses house all the springs nuts and bolts that most other helmets typically use . This translates to a shell that can absorb impact better over the side of the head and its not going to compromise its not going to have sharp edges inside of the shell there where that base plate mechanism resides. Because of that though you have this pod that has to go over the outside which is helps to make the helmet look better obviously and it also hides all the base plate systems so you cant really see whats going on .So to remove the shield you have to raise the shield to the upper most position you'll notice that they're are little grey tabs that pop out at the bottom there there's one on each side . What your going to do to pull the shield off is lift those up until they click and then you literally grab the shield and then keep rotating it back wards and pull it off and it comes right off, and here you can see the little channels that the base plate actually sits on and then to reinstall it . On the upper parts of this pod here if you just line up this part of the shield you can just slide that right in on both sides i usually find that if the helmet is facing away from you on a table like this just slide those in until it kind of clicks into place and then close the shield and then that's it its back on . Guys that race in these helmets get so good at that that they can actually swap the shields while they are still wearing the helmet which is incredible, very very quick and easy shield changes once you know how to do it . Nothing to scary a few crunching sounds but that's the way its designed to work. While were talking about the shield the last thing ill point out is these little pucks here they are kind of like little sliders that they have to put on these and the reason they have to do that and that goes into how they are attaching the shield itself and that helps keep the shield away from the paint and the finish on the shell of the helmet because they have the shield tolerance so close in fact if you zoom in on this area is here you can see how tight the shield fits down against the shell of the helmet that helps to keep wind noise down it obviously prevents any unwanted whistling and it also give the helmet an aerodynamic efficient look and its just going to help the helmet preform better weather your on the race track or on a long trip . The Arai Defiant is something I've been waiting for from Arai its a new model every time there's a new model from Arai its exciting it does not disappoint its everything you'd expect when Arai puts their name on a helmet you know its going to be good , if there any questions about the Arai Defiant that we didn't answer you could leave us a comment on our YouTube channel or give us a call wed love to answer your questions . If you have any feed back about the helmet or have actually had a chance to ride in one already go ahead and write a review on our website or in the comments here wed love to get your feed back about the helmet to .

- Young children's behavioural responses to acute pain: strategies for getting better
- Author(s)

- Abstract
- Behavioural responses of hospitalized young children in acute pain were examined and described. Eleven children, aged 24-79 months, who experienced acute pain in response to surgical intervention, and their parents, participated in the study. A qualitative, naturalistic methodology was used. Participant observation and child and parent interviews were the primary data collection methods. The constant comparative method of data analysis was employed to identify beginning behavioural response categories. Findings revealed that the children used the process of 'getting better' in response to pain. This process involved three strategies: 'hiding away', 'fighting it' and 'making it good'. Each of these strategies was characterized by specific behaviours. The more pain the children experienced, the more frequently these strategies were employed. Recommendations specific to assessing behavioural responses in young children experiencing acute pain are offered.

Welch touts student debt bill
BURLINGTON Rep. Peter Welch is proposing raising taxes on the rich to allow student loan borrowers to refinance at lower interest rates.
Welch, a Democrat and Vermonts sole member in the U.S. House of Representatives, visited the University of Vermont on Wednesday to discuss a bill that would allow the holders of undergraduate loans to refinance at an interest rate of 3.86 percent.
We all know Republicans, Democrats and independents that the future of this country depends on having the best educational system in the world, and that students cant get ahead unless they get an education and the country cant get ahead unless it educates its students, Welch said.
In 1965, the federal government began offering financial aid, with 60 percent of aid coming in the form of grants and scholarships and the remainder coming in the form of loans. Today, 70 percent of federal student aid comes in the form of loans, which according to the Congressional Budget Office generates $50 billion in revenue for the federal government annually.
Nationwide, student debt totals $1.2 trillion; in Vermont, that amount is $2.5 billion, with 65 percent of college graduates leaving college with a student loan debt of more than $28,000.
Welch argued theses heavy debt loads are a drag on the economy.
It means they cant put a down payment on a home. Its tough for them to buy a car, and all of that holds back the economy, Welch said.
Scott Giles, president of the Vermont Student Assistance Corp., said that under the proposed legislation, a student who borrowed $30,000 with a 10-year term would save a little less than $5,000 in interest.
A student who borrowed the same amount of money with a 30-year term which Giles said is becoming increasingly common would save approximately $20,000 in interest during the life of the loan.
These are really meaningful savings for Vermonters and their families, Giles said.
Bethany Scalzo, 24, a Montpelier resident who received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Loyola University Maryland, has $60,000 in loans with interest rates ranging from 5 percent to 7.7 percent.
This summer, Scalzo began repaying her loan: $700 a month for the next 10 years.
Because of this debt, there are a number of things I cannot pursue, including my Ph.D, Scalzo said. On a small scale, I am not able to go out to dinner after work. I am not able to make my own car payments.
The reduction in student loan interest rates would cost the federal government approximately $51 billion in revenue over the course of 10 years, but Welchs legislation proposes covering that money and then some by introducing into the U.S. tax code the Buffett Rule, named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
The Buffett Rule would set the income tax rate for those making more than $1 million a year at 30 percent, which would generate $72 billion in revenue during the next 10 years.
Welch said there is enormous support for this idea in the Senate, where Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has proposed similar legislation. But, he also acknowledged that a tax hike on the rich will be a difficult thing to make a reality as members of Congress are looking at elections in November.
Its an ongoing battle, and its uphill these days in D.C., Welch said. If corporations can refinance and save money and homeowners can refinance and save money, than why not students and parents?

Baltz is best known for his controlled and emotionally detached views of the urban landscape. His photographs record public spaces, residential homes, construction sites, business developments, and their environments. This image is from the artist's "Tract Houses" series, a haunting group of twenty-five photographs that meticulously document the banal details of suburban housing sites under construction in the Southern California area. The abstracted views of the residential tract homes present close-ups of architectural details such as large concrete walls, sliding aluminum windows, and large dirt yards, as well as wider shots that capture entire houses. Void of human figures, his images comment on the vacancy and loss of individuality in mass society. Individually and as a single body of work, the "Tract Houses" combine formal elegance with a sense of underlying apathy, and focus upon the sepulchral quality of prefabricated housing.

The role of science, technology, and engineering in solving Africa's most challenging economic problemsfrom telecommunications to agriculture to infectious diseasesis no longer in question. However, some leading international organizations undermine the role of innovation in development. The time has come for the scientific community to advance a new generation of international organizations that expressly promote scientific cooperationagencies that can help foster technological cooperation for Africa's economic transformation.

A 27-year-old Louisiana man arrested for his third DWI has a unique excuse when asked why he wasn't wearing his seat belt.
"My dog ate it," Zachary Ordoyne told deputies with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office
Ordoyne was pulled over Tuesday night, according to Baton Rouge TV station WVLA.
"While speaking to Ordoyne, deputies detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage, and Ordoyne's speech was slurred," Deputy Brennan Matherne told the TV station. "He admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages and showed deputies a half-full bottle of an alcoholic beverage in his vehicle."
He had a blood-alcohol level of 0.104 percent, according to the sheriff's office.
Ordonyne now faces charges of DWI (third offense), possession of an alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle and not wearing his seat belt.
