Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (TGP), a subsidiary of El Paso Corporation, expects to begin excavating a trench across the Lackawaxen River this weekend in preparation for laying the length of 30-inch diameter steel natural gas transmission pipeline that will connect on either side of the river to existing pipeline sections.
According to TGP spokesman Loren Locher, a trench approximately nine to 12 feet in depth will be dug during this stage of the ongoing expansion of the Pike County portion of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline 300 Project in Lackawaxen Township. That depth targets creation of a five foot cover over the pipeline at the river's lowest level.
"TGP will remove the materials from the river bed and set aside the spoil temporarily, then replace it following the pipeline installation," said Locher.
See www.elpaso.com/tgp300lineproject/ [2] for more information. TGP is proposing an additional expansion of the 300 Line. Visit www.northeastupgradeproject.com [3] to learn more.
Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) and the Departments of Environmental Protection in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are coordinating Hurricane Irene preparedness efforts in areas where the company's 300 Line Project is currently under construction.
TGP announced it is "continuing to work with local emergency responders, monitoring the weather, tracking Hurricane Irene's path and identifying proactive measures that can be implemented to protect sensitive resources."
General preparations include deferring some stream crossing work until the storm has passed; addressing road bores with open pits to prevent undermining roads due to wash outs; installing additional slope breakers in steep areas of the right of way; reinforcing existing environmental control devices (ECDs) including silt fence, hay bales, turbidity curtains, etc.; staging equipment at more sensitive locations to reduce response time if an erosion event should occur and assembling response crews to remain on standby during the rain event.
In Pennsylvania, the following measures are targeted:
Stillwater Lake: Erosion control devices are being placed in advance of the storm.
Lackawaxen River Crossing: Work in the stream may be delayed in anticipation of high water. The location has a rock and flume bridge as well as a rock filter structure that will remain in place during the event.
Dyberry Creek, Shiholah Creek, tributary to Walker Lake and Gun Club Road, as well as steep slopes at Highway 220 and Highway 367 crossings, will have additional erosion control devices.
TGP can be reached toll-free at 866/683-5587.

The main draw of Call of Duty: Black Ops may be the multiplayer mode, but I don't care, because I like zombie mode best of all! Check out the video below for a guide to my favorite way of playing Black Ops with zombies:
Zombie Mode is Black Ops' cooperative game-type, where you and up to three of your pals gather together to fight legions of undead ghouls. There are three maps. The first is similar to World at War's zombie mode. It's set in the 1940s, and will be familiar to you if you played that game. If you finish the Black Ops campaign mode, though, a new zombie map opens up, "Five," and it is spectacular. The third map is not really a zombie mode; it's the top-down Dead Ops, an old school-style arcade game.
"Five" begins with a historic meeting in the Pentagon between President John F. Kennedy, Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro, Vietnam War architect Robert MacNamara, and President Richard Nixon. The meeting is interrupted when Zombies burst in. This totally happened in the early 60s, and Activision gets props for maintaining complete historical accuracy here. Seriously, write your next history paper on these events. Back to the game: Take a moment to listen to the hysterical comments from the group. Kennedy, in particular, with his Boston accent, is a total crack-up.
The idea is to survive the horde as long as possible by wiping out wave after wave of zombies with shotguns, grenades, machine guns, and any other weapons that are scattered around the Pentagon. Zombies burst through doors and windows all over the place, so you gotta send 'em back to hell, then board up the windows. You get paid for both. Ca-ching! Money! Here's a tip: Smash the windows yourself early on, when they're no zombies around, and replace 'em with boards. It's easier to see the zombies coming for you, plus: you get money. Build up cash in the beginning. You're going to need it. (I'm not sure why you get money for killing zombies, or why you need money to open doors, but I don't really worry about it too much.)
Occasionally, you'll be rewarded with power ups that do things like refilling your ammo to capacity, giving you double points, and laying out a nuke that incinerates any zombies on the screen. Here's a tip: Save the nukes for a bit if they spawn when not many zombies are on screen. There's nothing worse than lighting off a rare nuke just to take out a couple dudes. You can save up double points, insta-kill and ammo reload power-ups too.
As the game goes on, more and more zombies will appear to trouble you, and they'll get faster. In later rounds, you'll need some of the advanced weapons in other parts of the map, so it's a good idea to move out of the beginning area when you get a little money.
Here's a tip: The key is to Keep Moving. Do not be distracted by the mystery box. The Mystery box will spin the wheel and give you a random weapon. Sure, it might be a flamethrower, but it's just as likely to be a pistol. I stay away from the mystery box because I am against gambling. Here's a tip: Keep together. Do not stray. Do not walk away for a moment to pick daisies. You might think Richard Nixon is badass enough to handle a horde of zombies on his own, but he is not. He will die.
When you die, you'll be reduced to crawling on the ground, shooting a pistol, and your pals will have to run over to revive you and pull you from the clutches of the crowd of undead. If everyone bites it, you're totally dead, and the game is over. Don't be a burden to your friends. Keep alive!
Be aware of zombies dropping from the sky. I guess they're coming through the ceiling or dropping from the roof or falling out of Air Force One. Be aware of them! They bite.
Later, horrible hell-hounds will materialize from some other dimension where everything is horrible. They must be destroyed. Shoot them many times! Here's a tip: Keep shooting! Shoot, shoot! Bang, bang! Headshots! Try not to miss!
Eventually, you will die. The game offers no way to win; you can only hope to survive a long time. Eventually, the increasing number of undead will win out and you will be sent to a heroic martyr's grave.
That, in a nutshell, is Black Ops' Zombie mode.

Particularly when told someone says she's 97.
"Who told you that?" she asks and laughs. "I'm 70!"
She is nervous for other reasons. She is being interviewed by a reporter. Before it is over, she will be awed and amazed at one of the peculiar yet dependable aspects of journalism: a willingness, an almost compulsion to discuss private aspects of their life with a stranger.
Perhaps it's because, for as long as she can remember—and her mind is tack sharp—she has helped others.
She was born in Hallettsville, the eldest of a dozen children to a father who worked in a feed mill and a mother who stayed at home.
By definition, the oldest child born in a poor, black family during World War II is expected to grow up quickly in order to help.
She lives in a comfortable home on Minneapolis Street. She leans back in her favorite chair that affords a view out the screen door.
"We were poor, OK? We were poor, but I didn't realize it until I was grown. You get to talking with some of your kinfolks, and they tell you, 'Well, you know, baby, there were a lot of people who were poorer than you!'"
But even remembering the dirt-floor and barefoot days, assisting others was salient. "I look back...the people got along with one another; they helped one another with the little bit that they had."
Little wonder, then, that she began working at Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital in Gonzales as a nursing aide—taking blood pressure and temperature of patients, giving them baths, feeding them, helping them get ready for therapy.
She did that for 30 years, all told.
During that time she married and then "I lost my first husband."
She was single for 18 years.
During her stay at the hospital, the Rev. Paul Green, Jr. occasionally would bring in a patient. "We just spoke and went on," she smiles.
A couple of years later, while preparing dinner for her pastor and his wife, her guests called and asked if they could bring a friend.
Paul Green was that friend.
"When he walked in the door, we both just fell out. I said, 'I know you from somewhere.' He said, 'Yes, I know you from somewhere, too.'"
They married in 1983. She moved to Beeville and earned her GED from A.C. Jones High School the next year.
She looks away, pausing in a conversation that suddenly allowed no alternative path. "We divorced," she said, quietly. "I moved back to Gonzales and went back to work as a home health aide."
She stayed with the company for almost a decade—helping others, but also changing.
In the late 1990s, the Rev. Paul Green telephoned and asked her to remarry.
"I said, 'I don't think so. Why now?' But, I didn't realize he was a sick man. He was reaching out for help."
Again, that keystone word.
"I never will forget, the Lord spoke to me, saying 'you are out there taking care of everybody else; why can't you take care of him?' And I looked straight up to the ceiling, straight out of the house, and said, 'What?'
"I got up from my chair, walked down the hallway, but He was still speaking to me."
She lets out a sigh, a mixture of nostalgia and exasperation. "I made up my mind to marry this man, not because of what had happened but because for the kind of man he was."
Was it a good thing?
She whispers, "It was; it was. I am so grateful that I did what I did. It made him happy, and it made me happy knowing that I could take care of him, that I had the knowledge to do it. And I stood by his bedside until the end."
He died in 2002.
"It hurts...it hurts."
To stay busy, she served on the board of the Bee Community Action Agency for three years and is the secretary of the mission at the Bethlehem Baptist Church and the vice president of the choir. She sings soprano.
In her years in Beeville she has seen some changes, including growth. But she also is aware of a darker side.
She hesitates, choosing her words carefully. "There is racism here on the part of some people, although I think I have just become aware of it. But I still get along with everyone here," saying that to the degree that people dislike others, they deprive themselves of potential strengths.
"We need to move forward, to put the past behind and get along with one another, because we're all human beings. This is what life is all about, getting closer together, but it seems like we are growing farther and farther apart."
A sober assessment of society but, as she will quickly assert, not beyond...help.

The male Darwin's frog is the epitome of daddy daycare. His tadpoles develop in his vocal sac. But things take a turn for the weirdest when he coughs them up as full-fledged frogs ready to survive on their own.
A baby is the beginning of something special-usually dinner.
Just ask any tadpole.
These teeming and tasty treats are a favorite meal for bugs...fish...and even each other.
It's a rare, tough pollywog that grows up to crawl out of the water.
In its forest home of South America, the Darwin's frog resembles an overweight leaf.
But not all that extra weight is its own.
The male's vocal sac is reserved for another purpose...raising his young.
The female will lay three to seven eggs.
Those that hatch into tadpoles are gulped up by the father until they're ready to fend for themselves.
Inside his vocal sac, they transform into miniature versions of their old man.
It's a sheltered life...they don't get out much, but they make it out alive.

But since it's the government refusing to provide life-saving health care…
If it were a private insurance company…
There are two tiers of men with advanced prostate cancer in Ontario: Those who get access to a remarkable drug through private insurance, and those who get a death sentence.
That latter group is also known as: people relying on gummint health care.
The grim news is often delivered at the London Regional Cancer Program to men whose shoulders sag and jaws drop when told Ontario's Health Ministry has for 15 months refused to pay for a medication covered by every other Canadian province.
"There's shock, fury and dismay," said oncologist Kylea Potvin. "Everyone thinks we have this wonderful universal health care system, but this is absolutely not the case. We've increasingly become a two-tier health care system where if you have money, you have access."
Or if you live anywhere but Ontario. Or do they not have poor people in Saskatchewan?
It's important to note: the Canadian health care system approved the drug (as has the U.S.), but Ontario is denying it. Why?
(Health Minister Deb Matthews) admitted it was the drug's costs that had been the holdup and said she hoped negotiations now under way would further reduce the price enough for the ministry to cover the costs.
Well, look. If the Ontario health care system is promising certain things, but this drug isn't among those things, then really…hey, I understand, it still sucks, but…were you promised that drug? Did the gummint commit to providing that drug?
No? Then why would we expect them to provide it?
Maybe for the same reason that a private health care company would be dragged across broken, flaming glass by these very same government officials if a private company pleaded "cost" when denying a life-saving drug.
But never mind. It isn't a private company: it's the government. And when the government denies coverage, that's universal!
- When the Private Sector Fails, it means we Need More Government. When the Government Fails, it means…Nothing.

So I have a one month old son and I have been breastfeeding him exclusively for the most part, struggling most of the time to satisfy him after feedings, he has been waking to eat still every 45 minutes at night, which some say is common and not associated with a supply issue so I have been continuing and hoping he has been getting enough. He has gained weight, he gained 7 oz from week 2 to week 3 and hasn't been weighed since. He has had plenty of wet and poopy diapers, so I figured all must be going well although I have never been able to pump much more than a few drops after each feeding.
So today, my milk seems to literally be gone. I have no idea what to do. This morning Ethan nursed for a little bit and then fussed some after only a short time. I tried nursing him again and he became very agitated and pulled off my breast crying and went to sleep. I decided to try and pump and got less than one once total. I have not felt full at all today and have not had one successful feeding session where I felt Ethan was content. Each time has been a painful struggle. I should mention that I had a C-section and my milk came in pretty late, about day 6. However, I never had any real full sensation or engorgement at all. My breasts never really became larger during or after pregnancy either, I wore my same bra from beginning to end of pregnancy. I can still go several hours and barely fill the need to pump or nurse. Could this be a problem? It is normal to never feel any engorgement? Anyhow, I finally broke down and gave him an once of formula and took a shower to cry.
My milk never came in with my first son and I attributed it to some severe complications but now I just don't know...help please!

Coffland eyes jury trial
BELLAIRE — Belmont County Commissioner Matt Coffland seeks a jury trial to address misdemeanor charges filed against him last year by Ohio Investigative Unit officers, but a trial date must be set.
Employees of Belmont County Eastern Division Court said a jury trial for Coffland was first set to take place Feb. 12, but it has been continued because Coffland's attorney, Patrick Cassidy, has a conflict that day. The trial date has not yet been rescheduled.
Monroe County Common Pleas Judge James Peters will preside over the trial as a visiting judge, and Thomas Hampton will serve as special prosecutor.
Coffland still faces three misdemeanor charges stemming from incidents at his Tiger Pub bar in Shadyside early April 1, when officers from the Ohio Investigative Unit entered his bar to check for sales to underage patrons. These charges were put on hold as Coffland faced a felony charge of assault on a peace officer – an Ohio Investigative Unit officer – on July 20 at Jamboree In The Hills.
Coffland was acquitted of the felony charge on Oct. 19.
Testimony during the felony trial indicated agents entered the Tiger Pub just before 2 a.m. April 1 and began checking patrons' identification for signs of underage alcohol sales. Coffland was cited after he alerted patrons Ohio Investigative Unit officers were present in the bar and that he was closing then – about 20 minutes prior to his regular closing time.
Coffland and his son, Matthew B. Coffland, were charged by the Ohio Investigative Unit officers with the following misdemeanors: knowingly or recklessly hindering or obstructing an agent or employee of the Ohio Division of Liquor Control; knowingly – with purpose to hinder the discovery, apprehension, prosecution, conviction or punishment of another for a crime – warning others of impending discovery or apprehension; and knowingly and without privilege – with the purpose to prevent, obstruct or delay the performance by a public official of an authorized act – performing an act that hampered or impeded a public official in the performance of the public official's duties.
Charges against both Cofflands are to be heard in court at the same time.
Coffland was acquitted of throwing a beer can at newly hired Ohio Investigative Unit Officer Donald Germany at JITH.
During his testimony, Germany told the jury he was not present at the April 1 investigation at the Tiger Pub – but he was asked to enter the bar when officers went there again in June to check for underage drinking. They did not cite anyone at the Tiger Pub for underage drinking that night, he said.

More than 545,000 Wisconsin voters requested absentee voters, according to the Government Accountability Board.
As of Monday morning, the state elections board said at least 545,060 voters had requested absentee ballots. More than 392, 000 of those ballots were requested by people's in clerk's offices during the early voting period.
In-person absentee voting in the clerks' offices ended on Friday, Nov. 2.
"It is clear absentee voting plays an important role in the election, with more than half a million people making requests during a shorter time period," Kevin J. Kennedy, Wisconsin's chief election official, said in a statement. "Absentee voting in clerks' offices finished up Friday, giving clerks more time to be better prepared for Election Day on Tuesday."
The Government Accountability Board said mail-in ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received in the municipal clerk's office by 4 p.m. the Friday after the election in order to be counted.

The art of NappingSeptember 23,2013
By Mark Albury
I was at the store the other day when I saw a kid have a meltdown. Anyone who has raised a child knows what I'm talking about. One minute this little boy was walking alongside his mother, full of energy and excitement at the prospect of going to the toy section of the store. A few minutes later I saw the same child lying on the floor looking like all of the bones in his body suddenly dissolved, and a God-awful cry/whine noise was coming out of his mouth that I was sure could be used to elicit a confession from James Bond. As I watched this scene unfold I saw the mother, with the patience of Mother Teresa, lean over and say, "Looks like someone needs a nap." I wanted to raise my hand and shout out, "Take me! Take me!" Not because I'm some sort of weirdo; because, as an adult, I am always looking for an opportunity to take a nap. There are very few things more appealing to me than the chance to catch 40 winks in the middle of the day.
Resisting the temptation to squeeze myself into the tiny seat of her shopping cart and go home with this woman, I made my purchases and headed to my car. This incident, however, got me thinking about naps, and my ongoing search for the ultimate daytime snooze opportunities.
As a grownup my naps are much less structured than they were when I was younger. In kindergarten, we used to have nap rugs and a set time when we were told to lie down and close our eyes while sweet Miss Hamm went for her flask of "happy juice." I continued to take naps whenever I could as I got older. Believe it or not, once, as a freshman in college, I actually took a nap that lasted four years. Then after I graduated and had kids, rest became as hard to find as a fat-free snack at the Tunbridge Fair. The fact is, once children entered the picture I had to go to work to catch up on my REM. Unfortunately, I can't seem to meet all of my sleep needs in meetings, so I've been forced to go outside the workplace to find afternoon slumber.
Over the years I have learned that, if you are clever, you can fit many naps into your day-to-day schedule. For example, you can nap in the car. However, for a variety of reasons, I don't recommend that you get too used to sleeping while driving. Aside from the obvious one — the steering wheel gets in the way — there are lawmakers who are planning to outlaw any and all activities except operating the vehicle while in a car. Go figure.
Instead of sleeping at the wheel, you can bum a ride off someone else and sleep as a passenger. This plan does not come without some risks. In addition to being shunned by certain snobs who view your sleeping while they are driving as socially unacceptable behavior, there is the issue of pride and self respect. When a passenger falls asleep sitting in a car seat it can be a very ugly spectacle. Your head flops around on your neck like the business end of a mop, and your mouth can hang open giving others in the car a visual tour of the history of your dental work. Then there is the whole drool thing. I once woke up after drooling on the window and my face looked like a glazed donut.
Other, emotionally safer napping opportunities include: catching a movie matinee and finding a seat in the back (expensive, but dark); going to the library and sitting in a common area (cheap, but light); or catching a public meeting of your town select board (free, but your nap will be televised on the local cable channel).
I consider the final option I will discuss today to be the absolute Hope Diamond of napping. If you are ever home on a Sunday afternoon, and the house is quiet, you can find golf on TV and get comfortable on the couch. The rest, as they say, will be history.
Televised golf was created for napping. The pastel colors are pleasing to your eyes, the announcers whisper to each other in polite tones, and the soft applause ripples like waves of water lightly splashing on the beach.
I find televised golfing to be so relaxing I am watching right now as I type these notes on my laptop. Tiger Woods is about to attempt to sink a 40- foot putt.
With billowy white clouds floating high in a light blue sky above him, Tiger walks across the perfectly manicured green to approach his ball, checking his line, and........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

State Senator Andrew Maynard is serving his fifth term in the Connecticut General Assembly representing the 18th Senatorial District. First elected in November 2006, he is currently the Senate Chair of the legislature's Transportation Committee.
For years Senator Maynard has worked to grow Connecticut jobs and catalyze regional and local economies. In 2011 and 2012, he fought for the passage and expansion of a landmark Jobs Bill. The legislation offers incentives for businesses to hire post-9/11 combat veterans, rewards businesses that relocate overseas jobs back to Connecticut, and promotes Connecticut's economic and cultural treasures. Additionally, 2012 legislation expanded upon the highly popular Small Business Express Program, which provides loans and grants to small business to spur job creation and business growth. The legislation opened up eligibility for the program to an additional 3600 Connecticut businesses.
Senator Maynard previously served as chair of the Select Committee on Veterans' Affairs for four years, where he worked across party lines as a dedicated advocate for Connecticut's military personnel, their families and veterans. He has passed legislation to permanently offer unemployment compensation benefits to military spouses forced to leave their jobs due to a military relocation, and has shepherded legislation to grant state tuition waivers to Connecticut's public colleges and universities to the dependent children and surviving spouses of military personnel killed in active duty.
Committed to his district, Senator Maynard has secured state assistance for much-needed projects and initiatives across the region. He secured funding for the new Griswold Senior Center expansion to relieve overcrowding and serve the local senior population, and worked tirelessly to fund repairs to Fort Griswold in Groton, including the restoration of the monument's granite obelisk.
As a member of the Environment Committee, Senator Maynard secured state funding to preserve the Long Island Sound Integrated Coastal Observing System—a comprehensive system that monitor's the health of Long Island Sound and provides real-time data to recreational boaters, commercial shipping operations, local fishermen, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the United States Coast Guard. He has also secured $15 million to fund tourism and marketing efforts in southeastern Connecticut, and funding for the Art on Groton Bank project.
Senator Maynard has worked to address affordable housing and homelessness prevention, serving on the board of Habitat for Humanity of Southeastern Connecticut, being a founding member of the Southeastern Connecticut Housing Alliance, and working as Co-Chair of the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness in Southeastern Connecticut. He also worked with the New London County Continuum of Care to secure a $250,000 grant for the state's first ever regional coordinated rapid rehousing and homeless prevention effort.
No stranger to public service, Senator Maynard has been active in local government affairs for more than a decade. He served as Stonington's Borough Warden for eight years, leading the town as its chief elected official. He previously served as vice chair of the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments and chaired the council's Legislative Committee.
A graduate of Saint Bernard High School in Uncasville Connecticut, Senator Maynard received a degree in government from Connecticut College. He is a licensed real estate professional, and he currently lives in Stonington.

No scienceJuly 02,2013
No science
Regarding the letter The Root Cause in The Times Argus, I feel I should take a moment to offer some facts and a reason-based perspective regarding climate change. First of all, I am in no way stating that we shouldnt do everything we can in our day-to-day lives to reduce our undesirable impact on the environment.
First fact: The planet has undergone multiple climate changes, far more drastic than anything weve experienced throughout geological history; none were caused by people. The planet has been coming out of an ice age since the dinosaurs went away an ice age that was caused by emissions from a cataclysmic event, not people.
Second fact: In the scope of geologic time, we have not existed for a significant amount of time, let alone been gathering climate data for a significant amount of time. Therefore, the data on hand could not be used to draw a conclusion one way or the other on our impact on climate change. We cant conclude that more drastic changes didnt occur before our existence.
Third fact: The scientific method, which is the only means by which a conclusion can be drawn in any experiment, requires a control a like model that is not exposed to the same factors as are being tested. As there is no possible way to have a control to this experiment (no way to have an Earth without humans to observe and gather data from), there can be no conclusion.
Fourth fact: Our greenhouse gas emission projections for the year 2030 (from the U.S. Department of Energy) have dropped by 28 percent in the last five years. China is now the biggest polluter on the planet. Chinas industry should be the current focus on reducing carbon emissions not the U.S. If you want to impact global emissions, dont buy anything made in China, and voice your opinion/vote against U.S. policy that continues to borrow money from China to fund pork programs. To expect a suffocating economy to make up for the disregard of China for the environment will surely be our demise.
Once again, I am by no means saying we shouldnt do everything we can to protect the environment, but to deny that the environmental movement has long ago been hijacked for use as a political lever to sway uninformed voters and opinion would be absolutely ignorant. Any scientist that concludes global warming is man-caused, or even man-influenced loses all credibility. This is not my opinion this is a fact as illustrated by the scientific method. You dont even need to see the data to know its inconclusive at best.

I am watching 76ers vs bull game 4, both teams play great ball-movement game, that makes me hate iso play more. 76ers probaly become this year's lucky 8 seeds.
Hope you got a nice eyeful today Haterblack. According to your stupid equation MELO should have stopped shooting by halftime. Scorers shoot themselves hot dummy. Melo played a complete game on both ends of the floor. Having Stat availible helped take the pressure off. Nobody can play 1 on 3. Crawl back in the hole you came out of if you can't support the team during the playoffs.
So much potential is there. We just need an healthy start next season. We play great team ball when focused...every piece has their part to play and when played with accountability we win..sometimes in convincing fashion.
Had to make changes first. Now that we have a coach that can get these guys to play, and together...great things happen. Its a growing process...a lil more time. They haven't been together long enough to have full trust in each other ...soon come.
Just like Teddy Atlas says: " drag them out to the deep water and drown them" Stop with the hateraid during the playoffs people. Even STAT is off the hook in book for manning up today.

Press release from Congressman Tom Marino:
Tonight, after continued refusals from the Senate to negotiate with House Republicans, the House passed legislation to reopen the federal government though January 15, 2014 and extend the Treasury Department's borrowing authority through February 7, 2014.
"We were asked to support a bill that does nothing to address out of control spending," U.S. Representative Tom Marino (PA-10) said. "It does nothing the address the nearly $17 trillion we have racked up in national debt and it does nothing to reverse the train wreck that is Obamacare."
"I cannot support this short-term fix that does nothing but kick the can farther down the road," he added.
A last minute deal struck by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell came weeks after House Republicans redoubled their efforts to rein in out-of-control spending, reverse the path that led to an ever-expanding national debt and protect Americans from a healthcare law that will raise taxes and destroy jobs.
"House Republicans were listening to our constituents back home. We pursued a reasonable approach to negotiate with the Senate and the President to find a solution that worked for all Americans," Marino said.
Prior to the partial government shutdown, which went into effect on October 1, the House passed three continuing resolutions to fund the government – each one compromising more than the previous offer. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected each offer, including a bill to go to conference and negotiate.
After the Senate's inaction resulted in a partial government shutdown, the House continued to pass narrow bills to continue funding for critical programs and services.
"We sent the Senate nearly twenty bills to lessen the impact of the partial shutdown and even convinced the President to sign a bill ensuring pay for active duty military members," Marino said.
Again, Harry Reid refused to even consider most of these bills.
"Make no mistake, House Republicans lost this battle," Marino said, "however, I was sent to Washington cut spending, downsize Washington, and keep taxes low for all Americans. The backdoor deal stuck by leaders in the Senate accomplishes none of this. Nevertheless, the war is far from over."
While virtually all Republicans – even those who questioned this approach – agree that Obamacare will only lead to higher taxes and fewer jobs, Marino added that both parties must unite and commit to never shutdown down the federal government again.
"Going forward, the President's healthcare law will fail on its own," Marino said, "Americans will speak in greater numbers if they want to be freed from the burdens of Obamacare. When the American people speak loud enough, and Democrats are finally willing to work with Republicans to enact comprehensive healthcare reform that actually lowers the cost of insurance coverage, we will be ready to listen."
Marino vowed to move forward on other priorities – lowering taxes, cutting spending, downsizing the federal government, creating jobs, and achieving energy independence. "House Republicans can develop a positive agenda for the coming year," Marino said.
"Until public opposition to the President's agenda results in a Senate willing to negotiate and compromise, the Republican-led House will continue to be a check against wasteful spending, tax hikes and the burdensome regulations this administration will surely look to impose on hardworking, middle class Americans across the country."

Massetti Leads LaSalle From Six Down Past Liberty
from press release
PHILADELPHIA - Rookie Toni Massetti drained
five goals and assisted on another, and the La Salle lacrosse squad
stormed back from a 9-3 deficit to defeat Liberty 11-10 at McCarthy
Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Explorers (4-3) outscored the Flames (1-7) 8-2 in the second half to earn the hard-fought win, which included a Flame goal being called off for an illegal crosse late in the second half.
Caitlyn Brostrand added three points on two goals and an assist, Erin McCabe added two scores, and Katelyn Fay and Allee Ilgenfritz added a goal apiece.
Morgan Becker, Sam Struss and Nina Dunay led the Flames with two goals each.
"While we certainly don't want to put ourselves in the hole we were in, we were proud of the fight the team showed in the second half against a well-coached Liberty team," Head Coach Candace Taglianetti Bossell said. "We had a couple players sidelined today with injuries and illness, and it was great to see Toni [Massetti] put together a performance she was capable of."
Liberty rattled off the first four goals of the game over the first 11 minutes, including both of Becker's goals.
McCabe got the Explorers on the board at the 18:00 mark, taking a feed from Fay off of a woman-up free position attempt.
The Flames responded with two more over the next 10 minutes to take a 6-1 lead at the 8:22 mark of the first half.
Ilgenfritz converted a free position goal at 7:50 for the Explorers' second goal and Abby O'Donnell found McCabe two minutes later to cut the Flames lead to 6-3.
However, the Flames finished out the half with two more goals including a woman-up goal with 16 seconds until halftime to take an 8-3 lead into the break.
The Flames added one more to go up 9-3 just under four minutes into the second half when Courtney Brown converted an unassisted shot.
At that point, the Explorers caught fire, rattling off the next eight straight goals spanning nearly the entire rest of the game. Massetti drained her first two at 25:23 and 20:48. Brostrand scored at 18:33 and 14:40, to sandwich a Fay goal at 16:42.
Massetti then went to work again, rattling off three more over a four-minute span to give the Explorers an 11-9 lead.
The Flames found the back of the net with around two minutes remaining, but a well-timed stick check found an illegal crosse to negate the goal.
The Flames got one more when Michaela Rich scored with 1:28 remaining, but the Explorer defense held down the stretch for the final 11-10 tally.
La Salle owned a 27-24 shot advantage and 15-9 draw control lead. Liberty edged the Explorers on ground balls, 20-19.
Explorer keeper Gabby Antonelli got the win, stopping five shots in 40:25 of play. Chelsea DiIonno saw 19:35 of first-half action, making three saves. The Flames' Kristen Masullo took the loss, making 11 saves in the effort.
The Explorers head back on the road on Wednesday with a tilt at Delaware State at 7 p.m.

Sculptor. Lives and creates in Israel. Started sculpturing with stone and bronze and after a visit to Murano, was captured by the glass medium and it's 4th dimension - the light reflection. Studied in Czech Republic, at the Oldest Glass School in Kamenicky Senov, by Janak Frantisek.
The subjects I choose to sculpture derive from observing the way we interact in our lives in all aspects: Having a dialogue with our sexuality, within our family, in the modern society and between ourselves and religions.
Works using casting method, lost wax and finished by cold work.
In my work I try to emphasis these relationships.
Adam has been at the heart of British studio glass for more than 25 years, firstly as a gallerist and subsequently as an artist in his own right, learning glass later in his career and developing self-taught methods. In 2013, Adam moved his gass blowing studio to West Horsley, Surrey. Adam specialises in free blown glass. His vessels and sculptures are at once a celebration of the simplicity of pure form, and also an investigation into layering.
Contemporary artist and enthusiastic cyclist based in the Pennines. Inspired by the local landscape of hills, mill towns and rainbows and the view of the world from my bike.
I moved to Helsinki in February 1998. After months in a black and white world (a Finnish winter!) I wanted COLOUR and I found it working with stained glass. Since then I have taken every opportunity to study and work with glass (hot, warm and cold), using as many different techniques as possible. The variety in my work reflects this, as does my Finnish vocabulary! I also make mixed media pieces, using my own photographs and monoprints.
Our courses will give you the knowledge and skills necessary to develop glass work pieces using a variety of techniques, such as fusing, slumping, glass painting, kiln formed, stained glass and mould making. We have courses for all levels of ability; whether you are a novice who would like to learn the basics or someone who needs to refresh themselves with more advanced techniques.
Agelos Papadakis is an interdisciplinary artist working with glass.
His Bachelors training was in traditional glass art, casting, architectural glass, engraving and glass blowing. His Masters in Fine Art in Glass prompt him to break away from tradition by combining glass with new media.
Currently, he lives and works in Edinburgh as a self employed glass artist.

Day Care Differences?
By Health Day
Researchers assessed behavioral problems in more than 75-thousand children attending day care in Norway at ages 18 months and 3 years. Nearly 18-thousand siblings were included,
They concluded that there was little evidence that more time in daycare led to more behavioral problems.
Several prior studies in the U.S. made connections between the time a child spends in day care and behavioral problems, but these results from Norway contradict those earlier findings
Researchers say this might be due to the fact that Norway has a vastly different child care system than the United States. Parental leave policies ensure that most children do not enter child-care until the age of one.
Norway also subsidizes day care and maintains strict, national standards and regulations for child care providers.

A Tribute to Bennet Sedacca
Minyanville mourns a tragic loss.
The Sedacca family is deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support from the Minyanville community, and has asked that donations made in Bennet's honor go to the Ruby Peck Foundation for Children's Education.
It is a profoundly sad day in Minyanville as we mourn a tragic loss.
Today we said goodbye to a member of our family, one of our best and brightest, a good friend, a loving husband, a caring father and one heck of a talented professor.
I spoke with Bennet Sedacca last night, as we did most every day. The topics ranged from the state of the credit markets and the implications for equities to the upcoming NCAA basketball tournament and our plans to vacation at his new home at Haig Point.
At the end of the conversation, he said to me, "I can count my brothers on one hand and you're one of them. You have no idea how much I love Minyanville -- how much I love our community -- it's part of my family, it's one of the things I'm most proud of."
I told him the feelings were mutual - that he helped more people than he could possibly imagine, that his proverbial pebble rippled far and wide, that he affected positive change through the selfless sharing of his financial acumen.
I am blessed to have had that conversation, for it would be our last.
This morning I awoke to an email from his partner and close friend, Rob Roy: "Bennet slipped on the stairs last night and suffered a brain injury that he will not survive. We are waiting for family to arrive before his life support is removed."
I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes. My mother slipped on stairs the day before and broke her ankle. Surely I was dreaming, commingling 2 emails into one, confusing one situation with another. I read it again. The message was the same. I called Rob, who confirmed my worst fears.
For those who read Bennet, the takeaway was simple: He was wicked smart, a master of the credit markets and extremely proud of his name and word. He was early in seeing the financial mess, as evidenced by his front-and-center presence in House of Cards, the recently released book that will serve as a tribute to his acumen.
Those who knew Bennet will remember an acerbic wit wrapped around a heart of gold. He was a tough cookie who demanded the best of himself and those around him, and was never shy about expressing his opinion. We used to joke that we were both massively misunderstood, which is likely why we understood each other so well.
We often say that it should never take something bad to make us realize we've got it good. We honor that process when we "Do Something Joel" (a random act of kindness), reference it when reflecting on September 11th and pay tribute through The Ruby Peck Foundation.
I discussed this a lot with "Blue Steel," and he got it - more than most. He was the first to cut a check for our philanthropic efforts and was a persistent presence at our events, always drawing a crowd.
The 'Ville is a community, and we genuinely care for one another and take pride in watching each other's back. When one of us hurts, we attempt to ease the pain. If one of us is in need, we try to shoulder the load. When the going gets tough, our human capital are the ties that bind.
We like to say Minyanville is comprised of people who are very good at what they do and better at who they are. Bennet never stopped working at either.
If the greatest wisdom is bred as a function of pain, we now have another reason for remembrance, another poignant perspective, another opportunity to live our lives and take nothing for granted. My grandfather once told me that time is the most precious commodity and that has again -- and unfortunately -- proved true.
Bennet was one of a kind and there aren't words that will ease the pain of his family and friends. I will simply say to his wife Nancy, his son Michael and his daughter Katie that, for as long as there is a Minyanville, you will never, ever be alone.
Rest in peace, my friend. I love you, and you will most certainly be missed.

i say goodbye STAT, hello Love! clear that cap space. sorry Shump.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - The much renowned First Take program made its return to the ESPN lineup Monday morning. Among the topics discussed by Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith was a curious potential transaction between a pair of Atlantic Division foes. According to Smith, whose sources in both New York and Philadelphia have to be worth some level of legitimacy, the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] a potential deal that would net Philadelphia Amare Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert.
There werent any details about what would be going back to New York in the deal, though one would have to assume it would be little more than a future 2nd round pick. The prime purpose of the transaction would be for the Knicks to clear more cap space as they continue to reshape the roster under the guidance of Phil Jackson.
Honestly, this move makes very little sense to me. Though the 76ers could take on the contract of Stoudemire and would be landing a fair asset in Shumpert, it seems to me that any deal that does not involve a first round pick along with a salary like Stoudemires isnt what Philadelphia is looking for. The Knicks do not have a first round pick in 2015 and thus, the 76ers would have to bank on moving one or both of the two Knicks in order to land a better asset.
With the team having selected K.J. McDaniels at the top of the second round, one would hope they give the former Clemson Tiger a chance to fill a role similar to what Shumpert does with the Knicks. McDaniels has the potential to have a much more diverse offensive game than Shumpert. Heres to hoping this is just Smith reporting the most preliminary of conversations rather than the 76ers settling for a deal that would not bring along with it a first round pick.
If there are any truths to this story above, we could potentially being headed to a monster lineup come this fall... Right now with the potential of reacquiring Melo then opening the door to possibly adding another big name free agent, who that is is anyone's guess but making us a legit contender now rather than later is intriguing...
Makes no sense for Philly unless hardaway is thrown in or we add a 3rd team and get a 1st rounder for hardaway to throw in. Then it makes sense
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - Anyone who thought that Phil Jackson came to New York City to sit around and wait until July 2015 may be mistaken. According to a league source, his grandiose vision of building a contender may begin sooner than anyone even Carmelo Anthony thought possible.
On the heels of a Monday morning account from ESPN that states the Knicks have engaged the Philadelphia 76ers on a [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], a league front office source tells SNY.tv and TheKnicksBlog that the Knicks have also been shopping Andrea Bargnani. Jackson, according to the source, recently rebuffed a trade offer that would have seen Bargnani and Tim Hardaway Jr. sent out in a similar cap-clearing maneuver.
Days before Tyson Chandler was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in a six-player trade that also saw the Knicks net two second round draft picks that turned into Cleanthony Early and Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Jackson turned down the proposed Bargani trade, the source says.
According to the source, Jackson believes that he can find a taker for Bargnani and his salary without sacrificing Hardaway Jr., despite the fact that Bargnani has appeared in just 118 games over the past three seasons. Bargnani has one year and $11.5 million remaining on his current contract.
As it stands, Jackson is believed to not only be actively shopping Stoudemire, but Bargnani, as well.
The end game, according to the source, is jettisoning their combined $34.9 million salaries off of the Knicks 2014-15 ledger, potentially making the Knicks a late entrant into this summers free agency marketplace.
Parting the Red Sea would probably be an easier endeavor, but if Jackson were able to move both Bargnani and Stoudemire without taking back and salaries and opted to walk away from Jeremy Tyler, Lamar Odom, Shannon Brown, Toure Murry, Kenyon Martin and Cole Aldrich all of whom are either free agents or subjected to team options the Knicks could find themselves somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million under the NBAs projected 2014-15 salary cap of $63 million.
The Knicks would be woefully thin up front, but the team would have enough money under the cap to both re-sign Anthony and then scour the free agent market for some additional help. According to the source, that is Jacksons Plan A for this summer, and it is believed to have been a part of his pitch to Anthony, who, according to multiple reports, was reluctant to re-sign with the Knicks without some assurance that the team would be able to field an upgraded roster around him for the 2014-15 season.
With players officially able to sign contracts on July 10, any such deal for Stoudemire and/or Bargnani would need to happen quickly. However, as of Monday, a number of impact free agents remained on the market. The list includes LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Pau Gasol, Luol Deng, Chandler Parsons, Lance Stephenson, Trevor Ariza, Caron Butler, Evan Turner, Andray Blatche, Shawn Marion, Rashard Lewis and Marvin Williams.
At this time, it is not clear whether or not the Knicks have decisive interest in any of the aforementioned players, but with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls among the teams that have entered this offseason with the ability to create significant cap space, a league source tells SNY.tv and TheKnicksBlog that Jacksons goal is to emerge as a late entrant as a player, as well.
No brainer for PJ to be shopping Stat and Bargnani's expiring contracts if there is another star player that has shown genuine interest in signing with us, but if there is not, then us giving away young players and future draft picks seems crazy rather than just waiting out the next year. Hard to believe that the desire to appease and resign Melo may lead us to gutting the team a 2nd time.
Also, as unlikely as I think this trade is to happen, watch Shump go to Philly and turn into Iguodala 2.0 for them.
say if it is true, who is the intended target???
Pau Gasol???
Lebron James???
I think this story is legimitate because Philley has wanted Stat for a few years and rumors about Stat have always been linked to two places (His hometown Orlando and Philley). Philadelphia was terrible last season and likes to acquire draft picks that won't play until they are healthy so they probably don't care about Amare's injury history. A healthy Amare with Michael Carter- WIlliams might win 10 more games this season for Philley. Add in a healthy Nerlens Noel and who knows maybe in the bad eastern conference they can win an 8th seed at best.
With Shumpert they have someone that they will over play.
What can we get back?
I think the highest contracts that would match would be Thaddeus Young and Jason Richardson but I really don't know and the espn trade machine isn't working today
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
They would have to dump Amare and Bargnani to Land Lebron and Melo...nearly impossible for this year.
If Lebron was available next year then we could probably look very appealing to him with a signed Melo and cap space.
This is probably to just free up space and change the culture
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Knicks = $65,472,771 current cap charge for 2014-15
removing Stoudemire's $23,410,988 ($42,061,783 cap after removal) would give us enough space to offer Lebron's projection of $20.7 M ($62,761,783 cap after signing) in the first year of a max deal... Minus Shumpert's $2,616,975 from the cap would give us around $2.75 M under the cap allowing us to use with the Full MLE, Mini MLE to add other free agents as supporting cast...
if we do indeed to remove Bargnani we could then also acquire Pau Gasol for anywhere between $10 - 12 M in the first year...
I don't know what P.J. intends to do, but if there is clear intent to get Lebron they don't have to worry about signing Melo thereafter to a max deal as we do own his Bird Rights, just saying all the cards are not on the table and we could have the ultimate roster...
Anything is possible but the ladder is unlikely but what if this is the projection or angle of Zen Master's madness...
Today on the show with Rucco he clarified this story by saying....
"The teams aren't talking but that Philly via source stated to him they would take back Amar'e Stoudemire if the Knicks would be willing to throw in Shumpert, plus a couple extras"
Thinking that Thaddeus Young becomes a part of the deal.
Teams talk about a lot of deals, the Rox are talking to them about taking Lin and sending no salary back if a deal is attractive enough for them. Taking Stats 23M deal would require taking Young's contract which runs 1 year longer than Stats and some other assets. Since we don't have many picks I don't think Shump is enough to get this done esp with a division rival.
Ariza is the only player I can think of.
There isn't another player who's been appreciably better elsewhere since leaving here. Why do fans develop this mentality but as soon as the youth leaves, they become a forgotten memory?
Chumpert may be the most overrated young player we've had this side of the 21rst Century. With that said no deal gets done. Stephen A is lobbying on behalf of special interests nothing more. As we can see what transpired today he's not plugged in at times you would assume, and you have to decipher quickly when he's at the podium speaking.
Is he speaking realness or hotmess?

Apple's Steve Jobs Used Patent Lawsuit Threat to Bully Palm Into No-Hire Policy
Jason Mick
January 23, 2013 4:12 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Employee lawsuit brings startling document to light
You have to admire Apple, Inc.'s (
) chutzpah. Many would argue that the company's well-known iPhone "grid of icons" look is deeply derivative of Palms handheld PDAs -- the protosmartphones of the 1990s. But despite Palm's role in trailblazing the technology that would one day send Apple stock soaring to new heights, Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs allegedly had the audacity to threaten to
sue Palm for patent infringement
unless Palm agreed to a questionable no-hire policy.
I. Palm Rejected Jobs' Threats
Back in 2007, Palm CEO Edward Colligan was actively courting Apple engineers, looking to draw them away. Palm would go on to
launch the "Pre" smartphone
in June 2009, which many view as the first serious competitor to the Apple iPhone. While the Pre's successors
would flop
driving Palm to
near bankruptcy
a fire-sale to Hewlett-Packard
Comp. (
), the initial Pre was an important device in setting a roadmap that would later be embraced by Android OEMs who would eventually greatly surpass Apple in unit sales.
The secret threat by Mr. Jobs to Mr. Colligan was rumored of, but never officially confirmed until now. Palm would later
address publicly employee "poaching" concerns
, but until now the earlier exchange was never tipped.
A group of five tech workers have filed suit against Apple, Google Inc. (
), Intel Corp. (
), and others over a string of closed-door no-hire agreements that limited job mobility for talented engineers.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs was allegedly outraged that Palm stepped up to his threats, but realized a lawsuit campaign would be too dangerous. [Image Source: Telegraph UK]
The case is being contested in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
Judge Lucy Koh
. Judge Koh is perhaps best known for presiding over the famous and controversial
$1.05B USD infringement verdict
against Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), which was sued by Apple.
a sworn statement
obtained by the plaintiffs, Mr. Colligan recalls, "Mr. Jobs also suggested that if Palm did not agree to such an arrangement, Palm could face lawsuits alleging infringement of Apple's many patents."
He says that he responded that such an agreement was "likely illegal" and that Palm would not be "intimidated" by Apple or Mr. Jobs. He recalls warning Mr. Jobs, "If you choose the litigation route, we can respond with our own claims based on patent assets, but I don't think litigation is the answer."
When it came to Palm, Mr. Jobs seemed to recognize that he was a chihuahua biting a bulldog: Apple never did file litigation against the rival gadget maker. But allegedly, Mr. Jobs' threat was more effective against greener partners, or companies that were more dependent on Apple and its iTunes distribution network.
II. Evidence of Secret Deals Mounts
U.S. Department of Justice
found evidence that Google, Apple, Adobe Systems Inc. (
), Intel, Intuit Inc. (
), and The Walt Disney Comp.'s (
) Pixar unit had agreements (mostly brokered by Apple) not to poach each others employees. While formal charges were never brought, the respective companies were forced into a settlement in which they promised not to enforce such a no-hire pact.
Intuit would eventually get eventually dragged into a DOJ antitrust suit in 2012 after it allegedly broke its word and signed a no-hire agreement with eBay, Inc. (
). Californian state antitrust regulators have also filed suit over the alleged agreement.
The dispute over no-hire agreements is currently proceeding down two tracks. On the one route you have government antitrust efforts. EBay, currently a defendant in the Intuit case, is very unhappy with those efforts. Its spokesperson griped to
, "[U.S. antitrust law] does not exist to micromanage the interaction between the officers and directors of a public company."
A second route is civil litigation from workers in the tech sphere, who may have suffered from the possibly illegal agreements. Judge Koh has yet to decide whether to allow the current lawsuit against Apple,
et al
. to proceed to trial.
But already the case is dredging up lots of interesting details, and not only on the
late Steve Jobs'
infamous bully streak
. Google is also implicated. A former Google Human Resources director recalls
[former Google CEO] Eric Schmidt
urging him to effectively cover up a no-cold call agreement (a form of no-hire agreeement). He says he asked Mr. Schmidt whether he could share the agreement with competitors and he recalls, "Schmidt responded that he preferred it be shared 'verbally, since I don't want to create a paper trail over which we can be sued later?"
Erich Schmidt (right) reportedly sought to cover up his no-hire agreement with Apple BFF Steve Jobs (left) so Google didn't get "sued later". [Image Source: BusinessInsider]
Google spokeswoman Niki Fenwick in a comment did not directly address that remark, only saying that Google had "always actively and aggressively recruited top talent."
The plaintiffs' lawyers will get to grill Mr. Schmidt next month, which should make for some entertaining courtroom drama.
It's always tough to say whether individuals will be able to push a case against large corporate interests through the federal court system, given the tremendous monetary obstacles to such a quest. However, based on the currently released information it appears the plaintiffs have a healthy body of relatively compelling evidence, details that give a fascinating look at a seedy tech industry practice which may have played an important role in shaping the electronics and internet software landscape over the past half decade.
