Of course, you need a console with USB 3.0 for that
Microsoft Corp. is developing a new firmware update that will improve accuracy of its Kinect motion sensor and will allow it to detect finger movements as well as hand rotations. Apparently, the main limiting factor of Kinect's accuracy is not the resolution of its sensors, but the bandwidth between the console and Kinect.
The Kinect sensor can be plugged via USB bus directly into any Xbox 360 and features an RGB camera, a depth sensor, audio sensors, and motion-sensing technology that tracks 48 points of movement on the human body. Kinect has the ability to recognize faces and voices. Kinect can perform full-motion tracking of the human body at 30 frames per second. While the depth sensor supports 640x480 resolution, currently it has 320x240 resolution limit in order to consume only 15MB/s - 16MB/s of bandwidth.
This artificial limit is in place because multiple USB devices can be used at once on an Xbox 360. But according to a news-story by Eurogamer, Microsoft is working on a technology to allow greater throughput in this regard. If the depth sensor is capable of working with 640x480 resolution, it will be able to track fingers as well as hand rotations, providing better functionality for future games.
But while the upgrade may be done by a simple update of dashboard, not everything is that easy as apart from sensors Microsoft may need to tune other applications and Xbox 360 behaviour as well.
"[Microsoft would need to] disable or lower throughput of game installs running from USB flash drives to free up additional bandwidth. [...] All eminently doable though bearing in mind that Kinect 'only' needs 20MB/s for full res from both cameras. The resolution coming out of the depth camera via PC is indeed 640x480, but it is uncertain just how accurate the camera's sensor is. Additionally, processing four times as many depth pixels could slow things down more," said Rich Leadbetter, the director of Digital Foundry, in an interview with Eurogamer.

Family of missing man asks for public's help
County board OKs rec authority
HOUGHTON – The Houghton County Board of Commissioners Tuesday narrowly approved the articles of incorporation for a bi-county authority for a year-round trail system.
By a 3-2 vote, the board approved the articles for the Houghton-Keweenaw Recreational Authority, which would pursue easements on 100 miles of private property.
Commissioners Scott Ala, Anton Pintar and Tom Tikkanen voted in support of the proposal, while Vice-Chair Tim Palosaari and Chair Albert Koskela voted against it.
Speaking in support of the plan was Calumet Township Supervisor Paul Lehto, who the county board designated in May as representative on a task force to develop the recreational authority.
After feedback from the county board, the method by which a proposed millage could be added to the ballot has been changed. Previously, the recreational authority could vote to place on the ballot up to two-tenths of a mill in a millage, or up to two mills in a bond proposal; that authority now sits with the Houghton and Keweenaw county boards. Voters would then have to approve the millage during a general election.
"It's not taxation without representation," Lehto said.
Lehto said the majority of funding would likely come through grants or donations.
In another change, if the authority wanted to dispose of property, it would go to either Houghton or Keweenaw county. People can also go to their appointed board members and ask them to change the bylaws, which the board can amend, Lehto said.
Koskela said he wanted more time to gather input.
"I talked to some of the townships, and they didn't know about it," he said.
Lehto said it had been brought up regularly at the Houghton County Townships Association meetings.
Palosaari asked to amend the articles to remove the possibility of a millage.
Tikkanen said while he shares the desire to avoid unnecessary taxes, a millage would only happen if approved by a majority of voters.
"When it comes to this, I think there's enough safeguards for the will of the people to prevail," he said.
In other action, commissioners:
heard a report from Ala about ongoing issues at the Michigan Works office. Ala read an email from the board about "the ever-increasing potential of disallowed problematic costs," which had reached more than $209,000. That included more than $140,000 in violations of the cap on training services without obtained required expenses, $55,000 in improper expenditures in the Workforce Investment Act and youth program, and $12,900 in questioned costs for not following federal procurement requirements in obtaining audit and payroll services.
"This $209,000 could ultimately fall back on the six counties (served by the office)," Ala said.
Ala said through the Western U.P. Alliance, they have made a request for a new judiciary that would take the judiciary function from Gogebic County to Central Michigan Works. At that point, they would go through the funds to see what money is still available, then transfer the money to the Western U.P. Alliance.
"At that point, the Alliance would then decide who works at Michigan Works," he said. "That would be our time to pick a new director."
Ala said the board is advertising for a new director on its website.
In other business, board members:
named Koskela as chair and Palosaari as vice-chair.
set meeting dates and times for the upcoming year. Meetings will remain at 5 p.m. on the Tuesday after the second Monday of the month.
approved rules of order for the board, with the modification that commissioners will get their agendas and supporting documents via email.
approved commissioner committee assignments: Koskela was added to the Copper Country Mental Health committee; Tikkanen, Pintar and Ala to the Western U.P. Peninsula District Health Department committee and Koskela to the Upper Peninsula Commission on Aging committee.

Skip to comments.NEWT - "Networks may have WH e-mails that called off the Benghazi Rescue..
Posted on 10/31/2012 7:02:41 AM PDT by 56newblog
Thoughts from a demented OLD mind.. I have thought for several months that this group in the administration would attempt anything to remain in power.
Please read this comment below posted at Brietbart on 10/30 prior to reading Newt's comments. The article where this comment was posted was Billboard: America or Obama-You Can't Have Both.. Comment: C.O. Jones received a phone call from an old friend that has been in Washington D.C. for years and is fairly well-connected politically. What she told Jones was ugly and sinister, yet very compelling. She said she had received information from someone high up in White House circles, and wanted Jones thoughts. No, there is no leaked email, no concrete proof, and this article is based on hearsay. Jones usually does not engage in or repeats hearsay, but if this is true, it could be the biggest story in 50 years. According to her, Barack Obama, wanting an October Surprise, had secretly arranged with the Muslim Brotherhood for a kidnapping of our ambassador. Then sometime in October before the election Obama was to orchestrate some great military action to rescue Ambassador Stevens, causing all of America to cheer Obamas strong foreign policy and bravery and making him look like a hero. After all, his supposed killing of Osama Bin Laden bounce had long since faded. Thus, sweeping him to victory in November. Imagine the headlines an d talking points. The election would be a lock. The Muslim Brotherhood has every reason to want Obama re-elected in November and have an American President sympathetic to their causes. Not to mention an administration filled with Muslim appeasers. Therefore, they agreed to aid in these theatrics. Unfortunately for Ambassador Stevens and three others, the Brotherhood could not control the hired thugs that were to perform the kidnapping.
This old man believes this is exactly what occurred.. Big O arranged the raid at Benghazi for a "political" reason. I do not think HE intended for anyone to be killed. BUT You cannot control the actions of CRAZIES handling your orders without proper supervision.
Big O had already given his people the scenario of what was SUPPOSED to have happened. His people here in the US followed their instructions well - IT WAS THE FILM..
Big O was in the situation room.
Big O gave the instructions to rescuers to stand down --HE DID NOT WANT THE INNOCENT DEMONSTRATORS TO GET KILLED.
It might upset his Muslim Brotherhood Friends..
Just my opinion of what went down based on stupid non MSM information I have read.
When you consider that one of Obie's best buds is a domestic terrorist...
It would not surprise me at all.
I had the same thoughts as well..............
Remember the conference call he held with all the MSM news organs EXCEPT Fox?
It's murder
I wouldn't be surprised if this wild assed story is true, but I'll wait a while and listen before I'll buy into it.
The people from the MSM need to do a little jail time. The msm are disgusting leftists who have backed a marxist and commited treason.
"On Tuesday nights On the Record with Greta Van Susteren on the Fox News Channel, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that major news networks might have secret emails proving that the White House canceled plans to assist the besieged U.S. Embassy in Benghazi."
" Gingrich said that the bombshell emails could be revealed within the next two days."
Well Newt, that's all well and good. But if the "major news networks" turn out to be CBS/NBC/ABC we will wait a lot longer than 2 days to see these E-mails. Nevertheless, an interesting rumor.
I am convinced the MSM is seeing a shuttering Newsweek and realizes that is their future.
Newspaper revenues are cratering and network TV news is losing 300 viewers per day via the obituary columns.
They are pushing Obama 1000% because they are angling for a bailout. Without one you will see mass layoffs and tons of newspapers shutting down over the next 12-24 months.
The headline is covered in the video at the link/source.
Gingrich tells Greta that a Senator told him that the Senator thought at least 2 networks had a copy of the email from the White House directing the rescuers to STAND DOWN.
Newt thinks these emails will come out today.

Ifthis is true, then Obama needs to be arrested and charged with FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
Not likely.
Arranged kidnapping, yes, no doubt about it.
Stevens was supposd to be released on the same day Romney was sworn in so they could blame the republicans for the attack. Pretty much a repeat of the original "October Surprise" where Reagan was accused of collaborating with the Iranians to hold the hostages in order to defeat Carter. Left wing loons still believe it to this day.
This would set up Hillary to run against Romney in 2016. No real difference than Hillary holding up a newspaper after 9/11 proclaiming "Bush Knew".
Hillary is a psychopath, and psychopaths have a tendency to "repeat" themselves and create patterns to what they are doing.
You have the same pattern, same person involved.
So far at best a fourth hand account.
Sounds about right. Also, wasn't there a report that a few days later, a tunisian guy was killed in egypt that was thought to have been involved? If the plan fell apart like
this, they would certainly have to have eliminated the
person with the knowledge rather quickly.
That's the best fitting puzzle piece.
Narcissists believe their own story. He really believed it was a protest, and he was sincere on Letterman and The View.
So he issued the order to stand down as he placed the lives of Libyan Protesters above those in the safe room.
It all matches up good as any other explanation.
So the cover up didn't start until it became clear that they actually were terrorists later on. That's why the confusion with Petraeus and Panetta now. The decision was at the time, perhaps, a judgement call and the POTUS erred on the side of a few dozen Arabs over a couple of Americans.
We already KNOW that this is how the RoE are elsewhere in the Middle East, so we should expect nothing better here.
The Press may know this too. They certainly agree with the RoE. They would easily trade a few SEALs for the lives of oppressed Arabs that we might call terrorists anyway....(man-caused disaster creators.)
Explains the debate and everything as to why we are where we are on this story.
Nah, this rumor has been out from the conspiracy theorists from the beginning. The truth is much better than the fiction.
Overreach from our side is exactly what the Romney team would be afraid of and thought could get out of hand in a razor close election.
The military leaks are the ony unimpeachable sources for what was seen and heard, what was done and not done.
With 2 of those hands being Newt and US Senator that Newt claims is reliable and has the opportunity to know. (I get third hand, but will not quibble.)
So...we have to hope for a leaker either from the government OR from the MSM (perhaps they really are the state-run media and part of the Obama government). Hopefully, some patriotic and righteousness-filled individual at the MSM will break through the Obama election Behghazi blackout and leak these emails!
Obama -> WH Staff -> Reporter -> ... -> Senator -> Gengrich
If there are such e-mails documenting a stand down order from the White House despite numerous calls for help from Benghazi, Obama, if he has any honor, should immediately resign from the presidential race.
No one could be that stupid. No way do I believe obummer set this thing up. I mean, it'd be great if it panned out and our bastard-in-chief was ousted but this is to incredulous to believe.
americas.best.days...:".. If the plan fell apart like
this, they would certainly have to have eliminated the
person with the knowledge rather quickly. "
On this side of the aisle, we refer to this as a " Vince Foster " resolution to the problem.
On the other side of the aisle , it is called "Collateral Damage"
Is someone doing a grand experiment to test the mainstream media for bias. Just to make a point. Bet they aren't disappointed.
"This is not a terrorist action." This is why POTUS, Susan Rice and Hillary claimed the youtube video was responsible, because Barky told the counter-terrorism team to stand down because is was just a flash mob of civilians at the compound...
There is a rumor I want to be clear, its a rumor that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Advisers office telling a counterterrorism group to stand down, Gingrich said. But they were a group in real-time trying to mobilize marines and C-130s and the fighter aircraft, and they were told explicitly by the White House stand down and do nothing. This is not a terrorist action. If that is true, and Ive been told this by a fairly reliable U.S. senator, if that is true and comes out, I think it raises enormous questions about the presidents role, and Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisers role, the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who has taken it on his own shoulders, that he said dont go. And that is, I think, very dubious, given that the president said he had instructions they are supposed to do everything they could to secure American personnel.

Hmm. Somehow every leak moves the heat away from Hillary Clinton?
Who would she leak too? Who's not covering the story?
...just say'in.
Hmm. Somehow every leak moves the heat away from Hillary Clinton?
Who would she leak too? Whos not covering the story?
...just sayin.
Very simple, Hillary refused to go on those Sunday shows 5 days after the attack. Instead Susan Rice, Ambassador to the UN was sent out thereto promote the storyline that the violence was the result of an obscure youtube video...
"the Brotherhood could not control the hired thugs"
"Big O . . . DID NOT WANT THE INNOCENT DEMONSTRATORS TO GET KILLED."
The hired thugs lost control once the SEALS showed up, and the so-called innocent demonstrators were expendable if need be - so that's a line of bull right there.
No, if it was a planned October surprise gone bad, the only reason it didn't work out as planned is because of the two Navy SEALS who weren't in on the plan. They showed up to bravely defend the compound because it was not in their nature to cowardly sit by and stand down!
Read a couple of reports back then that stated Stevens was taken to the hospital after he was recovered or found. Why would they take a dead man to the hospital ?
I think your explanation is spot on. I too think that 0zer0 saw what was going on and really believed it was a protest like the Cairo protests earlier. But that was his mistake. He then made the decision to stand down, and by the time he realized this wasn't a protest but an attack, it was too late because everyone was dead.
The libs will try to excuse 0zer0's mistake on the "fog of war", but as Genoa said below, that doesn't hold water because they were watching the attack in real time, and had real time calls for help that 0zer0 turned down. That can never be spun as mistake, but will only be spun as either gross incompetence or deliberately turning you back on Americans in need.
They had no choice but to run with the "video" as the cause. When it all became clear as the intelligence poured in, this was Al Qaeda, the mistake was known to everyone in the WH.
So they had to go into cover up mode, and have been in cover up mode ever since to protect 0zer0. The problem for the WH is more than one player is not going to fall on their sword for 0zer0. We have already seen that with some of the retired military, and expect the newly "fired/retired" admirals will sing. The WH knows they can't keep the lid on this forever, they are just trying to get past election day.
We have to keep pushing this past the lamestream media so it keeps getting traction so the leaks keep building until the lamestream media is forced to cover it.
This also explains why Bill and Hillary had a legal team look at all this. These emails will come out eventually. Whoever has them, can send copies to more than just 2 networks. They are just waiting for those networks to launch, and if they don't they will send them somewhere else. I wouldn't be surprised if the "fired/retired" admirals didn't leak them, and that is why they were relieved of duty.
What is really sick is 0zer0 saying "we will hold whoever made mistakes accountable", when he knows that it is HIM who is responsible. He is such a narcissist that he can't help but look for a scapegoat somewhere else. He truly is evil, not just incompetent.
WH staff (or CIA/State) -> Senator -> Newt -> public (WH staff -> network)
Network ->Senator->Newt -> public (network confirming story w/ senator)
Senator -> newt -> public (Senator ->network)
The chain can start with anyone that had possession of the email.
"He (Obama) then made the decision to stand down, and by the time he realized this wasnt a protest but an attack, it was too late because everyone was dead." -SDS
That does not work - They knew this was not a protest long (hours)before the mortar team arrived and killed the SEALS.
It's so convoluted now that it's hard for whistleblowers to know if they were on the side of right or wrong!
Whatever reality they created along the way for themselves, it'll be near impossible to fix blame clearly now if it's not already falling on the president where it should be.
In a sane world, the "decider" would already have taken responsibility.
That has always troubled me. Why did that happen? Although someone at FOX did get notes from someone at another network.
I see where you are coming from, and agree with you if "they" means everyone but 0zer0 and Jarrett. I truly believe that 0zer0 and Jarret believed this was a protest and because of their narcissism they over ruled everyone else. The bottom line is they made a terrible decision and now that it is blowing up in their face, they are in cover up and blame mode. It all makes sense if you think like a narcissist.
Stand down now...nothing to see here
Sadly, I think you are right. Win or lose the election, for 0zer0 this will just fade away eventually and be forgotten. Such a travesty for the 4 that were killed and their families. The lamestream media is just as evil as 0zer0 and Jarrett for covering this up. That is why we have to keep pushing this in the alternate media to reach the masses, and hope that there are still some honorable whistleblowers that will get the truth out. There is no other alternative at this point.

Looking for arthritis pain relief? These complementary therapies might be just what you need.
Complementary therapies are no longer offbeat oddities�even for people with arthritis who also rely on conventional medical care. According to a 2012 study in The Journal of Clinical Nursing, of 250 patients with either osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA), more than two thirds had tried complementary therapies that lessened pain, improved sleep, and allowed them to increase their activity. As long as your doctor approves, such improvements may be reason enough to give one or more such therapies a try. Below are descriptions of some of the most commonly used, and their benefits and drawbacks. Massage Massage has been relieving pain and stress since ancient times. In fact, the Greek physician Hippocrates called medicine �the art of rubbing.� According to an American Massage Therapy Association survey, about 48 million U.S. adults received massage therapy between July 2009 and July 2010. Benefits: �Most of all, people with arthritis will notice greater joint mobility, range-of-motion, and less pain and inflammation,� says Kim Turk, director of massage services at Duke Integrative Medicine in Durham, N.C. �Arthritic joints are often inflamed and filled with fluids. Massage pushes those fluids into the lymphatic system, which then flushes them into the body. So, there is often a visible reduction of fluid on the joint, especially in the knee.� Turk is involved in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) study that compared people with OA who had massages once or twice a week for either 30 or 60 minutes. �The study found that one hour once a week was optimum in relieving pain and improving function,� she says. Drawbacks: ��When people with RA or OA have a flare, it�s important that a massage therapist not work too aggressively,� says Turk. How to find a practitioner: �Find one who is part of a large organization,� says Turk--for instance, one who has been certified by the National Certification Board�for massage and body work; or who belongs to the American Massage Therapy Association or the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals. All three provide information about finding a practitioner. �Interview the therapist by phone or in person,� suggests Turk. �Ask how he typically treats issues like yours, and what he suggests for someone with arthritis.� Yoga The practice of yoga, involving exercise, breathing and meditation, dates back about 5,000 years, originating in India. Benefits: �Yoga postures can strengthen muscles around the joints, � says yoga therapist Carol Krucoff of Duke Integrative Medicine, author of the upcoming book Yoga Sparks: 108 Easy Practices for Stress Relief in a Minute or Less. �And yoga breathing�deep abdominal breathing�can create a relaxation response that lowers heart rate and releases muscle tension.� Yoga also teaches acceptance, says Krucoff, important when dealing with pain. �The natural response is to fight pain, which amplifies suffering,� she says. �Yoga teaches you to say, �I know pain comes and goes, and that it will ease.�� Drawbacks: �If your joints are red, hot or swollen, you may need to back off exercise,� says Krucoff. Also what movements you do may depend on where you have pain. For instance, if you have hand arthritis, certain movement like a pincer grip, or holding your thumb and forefinger together,�may not be a good idea,� she says. Ask your physical therapist and rheumatologist which movements to avoid. How to find a practitioner: The Yoga Alliance Organization has a registry of teachers with a minimum 200 hours of training. The International Association of Yoga Therapists�offers instructors who specialize in working with people with health challenges. �Ask the teacher if she has experience with people with OA and RA, and specialized training,� says Krucoff. Duke Integrative Medicine, for instance, offers Therapeutic Yoga for Seniors Teacher Training, which teaches instructors how to work with people with arthritis.� �Also, classes taught at hospital-based Wellness Centers often have well-trained instructors familiar with health challenges.� Acupuncture Acupuncture evolved from ancient Chinese medicine, and involves the placement of tiny needles in various parts of the body in order to release blocked energy, or chi (pronounced chee). True Chinese acupuncture is paired with the use of medicinal herbs, says acupuncturist Kyo Mitchell, associate professor of Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. Benefits: �A mixture of herbs and acupuncture can decrease inflammation, help remove waste products, help provide nutrients to the tissues, decrease pain, and increase mobility.� Drawbacks: Although acupuncture can help slow disease progression, it can�t reverse tissue damage, says Mitchell: �And it�s not fast-acting like anti-inflammatories. Usually, you see results within a half dozen treatments.� If someone�s blood pressure is high, Mitchell doesn�t recommend acupuncture or herbs. How to find a practitioner: The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture�lists certified practitioners by location. �Look for a licensed practitioner who uses herbs along with acupuncture,� says Mitchell. �The combined treatment is more effective.�� Mitchell also recommends getting referrals from friends who have had successful treatments. �Talk to the practitioner about what he can or can�t do. And look for a practitioner experienced with arthritis.� Meditation Meditation is an ancient practice of concentrated focus that involves deep breathing and mantras, or repeated words or phrases that can relieve stress, and increase relaxation and awareness. Benefits: �Meditation can help stop the chronic pain cycle by intervening in the mental and emotional aspects of pain,� says Dr. David Dillard-Wright, assistant professor of philosophy at the University of South Carolina-Aiken, and author of Meditation for Multi-Taskers.��The Sanskrit word mantra means taking away the mind. �And unlike medications, meditation has no side effects or risk of dependency.� Drawbacks: Meditation doesn�t provide quick results,� says Dillard-Wright: �It takes a little bit of time and practice.� Dillard-Wright recommends starting with twenty minutes of practice twice a day: ��Begin with deep breathing , allowing thoughts to fall away. � If you have trouble concentrating, repeat a word like peace or joy." How to find a practitioner: �Dillard-Wright recommends working with someone from a reputable organization, checking community bulletin boards, or the Web. Many yoga studios have classes as well.

Talk about dinner with a view. On October 20, Dinner in the Sky, named one of the "Most Unusual Restaurants in the World" by Forbes Magazine, will raise guests a towering 180-feet off the ground, securely affixed to their chair, in Delray Beach's Old Square Park for a multi-course meal by Italian restaurant Caffe Luna Rosa and sushi specialists, Candyfish at Union.
The Brussels-based concept is truly a unique dining experience. Suspended by a crane, 22 diners are seated around a large rectangular table with a staff of three in the middle who keep the meal moving along. Bus boys arrive via jetpacks, and for restroom breaks, simply gear up and repel down…I kid, but that would be sweet!
For those afraid of heights, this meal isn't for you. But for those with a penchant for al fresco dining though a little hesitant of eating aloft, fear not. A 130-ton crane will lift the table to a resting point of 180-feet. At five and half tons itself (without guests), the table will remain stable and for the most part stationary (there won't be any Pit and the Pendulum action taking place here). As for guest safety, each patron is locked into a Nascar-esque racing seat with a four-point seat belt. Surprisingly, guests have free range of motion (to an extent), with a 180-degree rotation of the seat, so they can swivel from one neighbor to the other with relative ease.
Dinner in the Sky will offer unparalleled views of Delray Beach. Diners will tower over their surroundings, with the tallest buildings in their sight, Seagate's north and south towers, reaching a meager 13 floors and coming in at just under 140-feet tall. Diners will have unobstructed views of the beaches, the penthouses of said Seagate Towers (close your blinds folks) and of I-95 (traffic helicopters be damned).
There will be only four seatings for the October 20 Diner in the Sky event (5:30, 7, 8:30 and 10 p.m.), alternating between menus from Delray Beach's own Caffe Luna Rosa and Candyfish at Union. Caffe Luna Rosa's three course menu (5:30 and 8:30 seatings) starts with a fresh Maine lobster and lump crab cocktail; the main course is a carnivore's delight: Prime dry aged center-cut filet with fingerling potatoes and garden fresh vegetables; while dessert, a triple chocolate panache, just might put you in a cocoa coma. For the sushi aficionado, Candyfish's seatings (7 and 10 p.m.) are a dream come true. The four-course meal starts with a tuna sashimi salad, followed by yellowtail sashimi topped with jalapeno and yuzu soy. The third course is a sushi roll spectacular, with the Honey Walnut Shrimp Roll, Uber Sexy Steve (named for me, holler) and High Roller all making an appearance. The meal is capped with a house made chocolate cake sprinkled with vodka-infused gummi fish.
$500 a person $350 per person (price reduction) it's a bit pricy, but this is more experience than meal. Seating is limited to just 88 people—22 per seating—and diners must weigh less than 225 pounds and stand at least 4' 11" to ride.

Backgrounder #2748 on Budget and Spending
November 30, 2012
November 30, 2012 | Backgrounder on Budget and Spending
Abstract: The United States faces a real fiscal crisis, and the impending fiscal cliff of massive tax hikes and spending cuts in January is only the first act. In early 2013, the federal government will exhaust its ability to issue debt legally. Yet as large and as major a concern as federal budget deficits are today, they are of secondary consequence compared with the fiscal quagmire of unaffordable entitlement spending in the next decade. Fortunately, the entitlement problem can be resolved by six simple reforms to improve the fiscal future for Social Security and Medicare. But to implement these reforms, President Barack Obama must lead.
A high-stakes fiscal policy debate of unique size and import has just begun. Absent congressional action to the contrary, a massive slate of tax hikes and spending cuts will take effect on January 1, and that is only the first act. The second act will occur early in 2013 when the federal government will exhaust its ability to issue debt legally. Both acts need prompt solutions.
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R–OH) made the first move. After congratulating President Barack Obama upon his reelection, Boehner promised a willingness to work with him, giving Obama the additional revenues he desired through pro-growth tax reform accompanied by reforms in entitlement programs.[1] President Obama's counter, while unsurprising, was unhelpful because he focused exclusively on fiscally meaningless and economically harmful tax hikes on upper-income taxpayers. The President repeatedly has argued for a balanced approach, but he has yet to offer a single meaningful proposal on spending reductions.
While the President prepares to start his second term, he should set about negotiating in good faith with Republicans, especially in the House where Republicans were returned to office in the majority with expectations of cutting spending without increasing taxes. The voters, we are told, expect it. This means the President cannot sit back and just harp on revenues. He needs to address spending and in particular entitlements.
Fortunately, the President has occasion and opportunity to lead by proposing some simple yet transformational reforms in two of the prime sources of the nation's fiscal problems: Social Security and Medicare. Better yet, many such reforms have already been thoroughly considered and enjoy broad bipartisan support, lacking only the moment and the leadership to become a reality. These proposals will not resolve either program's key structural flaws—they constitute a start of the reform journey, not the conclusion—but they would be a powerful start that would markedly alter the nation's fiscal trajectory.
At the start of a President's second term, the political stars are in the best possible alignment for solving big problems. All the President needs to do is seize the moment. This is the moment; President Obama must lead.
Many events arrive by chance, but the present fiscal spectacle is not one of them. The fiscal cliff results from explicit actions by Congress and the President to push difficult fiscal policy issues past the recent election. In this, they succeeded, although it took a series of legislative acts to accomplish it. With regard to taxes:
The same pattern holds for the spending cuts. For example, the sequester slated to gouge defense spending while making modest cuts—such as a 2 percent across-the-board cut to Medicare providers—reflects the final leavings of the earlier Budget Control Act, which created the failed "supercommittee." Early in 2012, Congress also prevented deep and disastrous reductions in Medicare provider payments, but this "doc fix" remedy expires at the end of the year.
In May 2011, the federal government exhausted its legal authority to finance deficit spending by issuing debt. The U.S. Department of the Treasury exercised its typical but limited authorities for temporarily creating more room under the "debt limit," allowing policymakers to postpone action until early August. A brutal and economically risky political battle ensued, eventually resulting in legislation that raised the debt limit by $2.1 trillion, sufficient to fund the federal government past the November election.
Projections now suggest that the government will reach the debt limit late in 2012, after which the Treasury will again deploy its limited authorities. This will trigger what could be another difficult negotiation for Congress and President Obama—a negotiation that will be heavily influenced by what happens with the fiscal cliff.
President Obama clearly believes in raising taxes on upper-income taxpayers, and he is willing to weaken the economy, slow job growth, and constrain wage growth to do so. It is difficult to fathom his acceptance of this trade-off of economic security for an ideological doctrine of social justice, especially considering that this long-standing debate likely will rage indefinitely. However, these tax hikes are a distant sideshow in the present context, a political distraction that diverts attention from the central fiscal issue of runaway spending, which gives rise to persistent and economically dangerous deficits.
In his own budget, the President proposed to extend the Bush tax cuts except for those making $250,000 or more, raising $836 billion over the next 10 years. His companion proposal to limit the value of deductions for upper-income taxpayers would raise another $574 billion, for a total of $1.4 trillion. In absolute terms, that is a lot of revenue. However, even allowing for all the other budget gimmicks and tax hikes in Obama's budget, the federal debt would rise by $7.7 trillion over the next 10 years including these tax hikes and by $9.1 trillion without them.
Obama's tax hikes would reduce the rise in federal debt over the next 10 years by about 15 percent. The President is silent about the remaining 85 percent. The numbers confirm that President Obama's tax hike demands are at best tangential to attaining a balanced budget.
As large and as major a concern as federal budget deficits are today, they are nevertheless secondary in consequence to the fiscal quagmire of unaffordable entitlements. Social Security and Medicare in particular share certain vital characteristics. Both programs are extraordinarily complicated, having been built up in complexity over the years one Congress at a time. Similarly, each program badly needs programmatic reforms. For example, the minimum benefit in Social Security is woefully inadequate to protect low-income seniors from poverty, and Medicare still lacks a catastrophic benefit. These are only some of the many shortcomings that must be addressed in fundamental overhauls of each program.
Of most immediate concern, however, is that Social Security and Medicare are unaffordable in their current forms. When this year's kindergarteners enter college, just 13 years away, spending on these two programs plus Medicaid and interest on the debt will devour all tax revenue. (See Chart 1.)
Social Security will lack the funds to pay full benefits beginning as early as 2033.[3] Medicare's unfunded promises in current dollars reach into the many tens of trillions of dollars. These facts are not in dispute. Solutions to our fiscal challenges are needed, urgent, and inevitable.
The fiscal cliff and the debt limit have set the stage, but there is also the reality of the rhythms in the American political system. There are certain windows in every four-year or eight-year cycle when bold leaders can achieve bold things. The first few months of a reelected President's second term is one such window, but it closes fast, and lame-duck status arrives quickly.
Thus, the President must adopt the mantle of leadership, rather than brinksmanship, to steer the nation away from the fiscal cliff and all that is set to follow, and he must start with spending. However, the critical silver lining is that simple, commonsense, and thoroughly vetted solutions such as the four listed below constitute a strong start on the journey to more complete programmatic reforms remedying acknowledged flaws in these programs, and they already enjoy broad support across the political spectrum.
The four foregoing proposals for Social Security and Medicare meet the test of simplicity, being relatively easy to communicate to the American people, having been thoroughly vetted, and enjoying widespread support. Together, they would dramatically improve America's fiscal future for the better. Two additional proposals, one each for Social Security and Medicare, meet the tests of simplicity and effectiveness but have not been considered as intensively. Yet they should also garner bipartisan support and consideration.
The nation's fiscal problems, today and beyond, derive entirely from excess spending, especially entitlement spending, not a dearth of revenue. While current revenues are exceptionally low as a share of the economy, this is due almost entirely to the weak economy. As analysis by the Administration's budget office and the Congressional Budget Office affirm, revenues will return to a more normal 18.5 percent of the economy as the economy recovers. Given these facts, President Obama's insistence on an economically harmful tax hike for what is essentially a fiscally meaningless increase in revenues will not help policymakers navigate successfully around the fiscal cliff.
A hopeful sign, however, is that the political timing is propitious, and important policy reforms in Social Security and Medicare are simple, straightforward, and well known. These proposals, while not correcting more fundamental programmatic flaws, would materially correct the spending excesses in these programs. Better yet, these proposals are not partisan in nature, but have been supported on a bipartisan basis in the past.
All that is lacking to avoid the fiscal cliff, profoundly stabilize the nation's public finances, and shore up these critical entitlement programs is for the President to take the lead. The nation waits.

Through on-the-ground reporting informed by clear, critical analysis, Gibler gives a harrowing account of Mexico's drug war: from the absolute brutality of the cartels (where one victim is murdered simply for putting up a sign asking that bodies no longer be dumped in front of his house) to the complicity of the Mexican government (the laundering of billions in drug money kept the financial system afloat during the global crisis of 2008) and, finally, to the culpability of the US (whose supply of money and guns to back up the rhetoric on the "war on drugs" only further arms and enriches those responsible for the violence). As you follow the ongoing crisis in the news, Gibler's book provides you with a lens through which you can see very clearly how this tragic script plays out.
—Recommended by Andy, City Lights Books
Combining on the ground reporting and in-depth discussions with people on the frontlines of Mexico's drug war, To Die in Mexico tells behind the scenes stories that address the causes and consequences of Mexico's multibillion-dollar drug-trafficking business. Gibler tells the hair raising stories of a Mexican journalist kidnapped, interrogated and threatened with death by the Gulf Cartel before being miraculously released; family members of people killed in the conflict; survivors of assassination attempts and massacres; along with crime-beat photographers, funeral parlor workers, government officials, convicted traffickers, cab drivers and others who find themselves working against, with, or for the drug cartels. Gibler sees beyond the cops-and-robbers myths that pervade government and media portrayals of the unprecedented wave of violence and looks to the people of Mexico for solutions to the crisis now pushing Mexico to the breaking point.
"Many writers have pondered the evil and madness of the Mexican/American "drug war." Few have analyzed it with such vividness and clarity as John Gibler." —Howard Campbell, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas, El Paso
"To Die in Mexico shows all the horror of Mexico's current turmoil over drugs—but goes beyond the usual pornography of violence to its critically-informed broader context. Gibler also reveals the brave civic resistance to death cults and official silencing by, among others, some of the remarkable Mexican journalists trying to tell the drug war's hidden story." —Paul Gootenberg, author, Andean Cocaine: The Making of a Global Drug (UNC Press, 2009)
"If you want to cut through the lies, obfuscation and sheer lunacy that surrounds Mexico's so-called drug war, read To Die in Mexico. John Gibler reports from Ciudad Juarez, Reynosa, Culiacan--the bloodiest battlegrounds in a fever of violence that has left more than 38,000 dead. But he accepts none of the prevailing myths--that this is a war between rival criminal enterprises, or between a crusading government and assorted barbarous bad guys, that it is a war at all. An antidote to the sensationalism and mythologizing that dominate the discourse, To Die in Mexico is at once a gripping read and the smartest, sanest book yet written on the subject in English." —Ben Ehrenreich, author of The Suitors and Ether

Kings rally to beat Glads, Lakes top Lady Vikings
ONTONAGON – Calumet notched a come-from-behind victory and handed Ontonagon its first defeat in non-conference girls' basketball Tuesday, winning 42-36.
"We were in good position until midway through the third quarter. Once we had to make some adjustments due to foul trouble, we seemed to lose all momentum and all focus. Things just went very awry and we couldn't get it back," Ontonagon coach Dick Franti said.
The Gladiators held the Copper Kings to four first-quarter points and had a six-point halftime lead. Calumet made up for it down the stretch with a 13-5 margin in the fourth quarter.
"They went inside on us to a great degree in the second half, especially in fourth quarter and tore us apart that way," Franti said.
Lexie Rowe led Calumet (7-1) with 14 points. The Copper Kings, who won the JV game, host Baraga Friday.
Brooke Turin was leading scorer for Ontonagon (5-1) with 16 points. Chelsea Truscott added 11.
"For two-and-a-half quarters, we did what we need to do against a good team. Problem is you have to do it for four quarters. Two-and-a-half's not going to get the job done," Franti said.
Ontonagon is at Ewen-Trout Creek Friday.

Lake Linden-Hubbell 57, Baraga 52
LAKE LINDEN – Balanced scoring and better free-throw shooting made the difference for the Lakes in a tight Copper Country Conference contest.
LL-H coach Timm Gast noted that after a lopsided defeat at Houghton Friday, his girls refocused and played much better as a team. The better cohesion showed in the scorebook, where LL-H had three scorers in double figures, led by Brittni Kisul's 15, and a fourth with eight points.
"We attacked the basket and we never stopped, and that was getting us very good looks, either dump passes to Brittni for baskets or shots that were close to the basket," he said.
Baraga jumped ahead 6-0 after a pair of Jenna Heikkinen threes, two of her five and Baraga's total of eight, but the Lakes had a 30-25 halftime lead and added another strong quarter in the third to be up 12 after three. Baraga rallied to within four with a 19-point fourth quarter, but the Lakes made six of eight free throws in the fourth. Meanwhile, Baraga made just two of 11 attempts from the line for the game.
Heikkinen finished with 15 and Taryn Nurmela added 10 for the Lady Vikings, who fall to 4-4, 1-2 in CCC play, ahead of a non-league game at Calumet Friday. Baraga won the JV game.
Sarah Audette added 14 points and Brooke Corrigan 12 for LL-H (3-4, 1-1). The Lakes are at L'Anse Friday.

L'Anse 54, Hancock 46
HANCOCK – A young Bulldog squad gave the U.P.'s No. 5 team a run for its money, but point guard Madi Swanson was just too much Tuesday.
Swanson had 29 of L'Anse's 54 points as the Purple Hornets escaped a second straight upset loss in Hancock with an eight-point edge.
"We're very content in the way we played effort-wise, but when you're that close with a good team, you'd like to finish it," Hancock coach Jack Johnson said.
The Bulldogs held L'Anse to just four first-quarter points and were within two at halftime. After a L'Anse run, Hancock was back within three halfway through the final quarter, but Swanson pulled her team out of trouble.
The junior was 4-for-7 from the field and 4-for-5 from the line for 11 fourth-quarter points.
"When it came down to the last minutes of the game, Swanson just took over," Johnson said.
Kayla LaBerge added 13 for L'Anse (7-1, 2-0 WestPAC), which won the JV game and hosts Lake Linden-Hubbell Friday.
Molly Berg hit three triples and scored a season-high 17 points for Hancock (2-5, 0-2 WestPAC), which is at West Iron County Thursday night for the first of four road games in nine days.

Houghton 73, Jeffers 22
HOUGHTON – An 18-2 edge in the first quarter provided more than enough cushion for Houghton to ride to its fifth straight win Tuesday.
The 22 points allowed was a season low for the 7-1 Gremlins and their fourth game of less than 30 this year.
"I thought our defensive intensity was difficult for Jeffers to handle," Houghton coach Julie Filpus said.
On the offensive end, Houghton got 21 points and 13 rebounds from Elisa Jurmu. Kelsie Richards and Ashley Laux kicked in 12 and 10, respectively.
For Jeffers, Abbie Rajala's six led the way. The Jets (0-8) host Hancock Friday.
Houghton, which won the JV game, is at Westwood Friday night.

This new way of thinking about — and some would say manipulating — behavior is likely to be a key tool for addressing environmental issues.and co-author of Nudge, a popular treatment of subtle ways to influence the choices people make. And while the Obama administration has yet to unveil environmental initiatives based on behavioral economics, Orzag recently told Time magazine, "It really applies to all the big areas where we need change."
'People don't just want to conserve energy,' one psychologist says, 'they want to be acknowledged for conserving energy.'savings, or because their neighbors were doing it. By comparing electric meter readings, the researchers determined that only the last message had any effect, eliciting a 10 percent drop in consumption. A subsequent study found that when electric bills compared a customer's energy consumption against the neighborhood average, profligate customers scaled back. In fact, the social norm was so powerful that thrifty customers also responded, by splurging. The weirdly effective fix was to add a smiley face to the thrifty bills — like a gold star from teacher.
Some approaches from behavioral economics aim to make pollution more painful — or at least to distribute the pain more equitably.instance, in the current auto insurance system, you pay the same premium for driving 5,000 miles a year as your neighbor does for driving 30,000. An alternative approach, Pay As You Drive (PAYD) insurance, matches the premium to the mileage, as reported by GPS or periodic service station inspections. A recent Brookings Institution study calculated that PAYD would save money for two out of three U.S. households, reduce driving by 8 percent, and cut carbon emissions nationwide by 2 percent.

Not so great for me - 4/11/2012
I have lived in Honolulu for about 8 months and have already made plans to get out (4months and counting). I don't regret moving here and experiencing this place, but I simply can't recommend anybody live here unless you have money to blow and really, really, love the ocean stuff. And if you like living everyday ghetto-ness. I have a PhD, my wife has a masters, and we make six figures, but even we feel poor here - though most people are much poorer. Don't underestimate the additional costs here to live, it is significant. The food is about double what I use to pay, and the rent is double. The grocery prices really are a farce though - it costs less to order pizza from papa john than to buy the ingredients and make your own pizza. Don't buy the shipping excuse for the costs - food is shipped all over the mainland as well. And pineapples grown here costs less in the mainland than at my local market. My theory with the high cost here is that the business owners here are making big mula so that they can live comfortably here. The tax system also just schemes off of tourists and residents with wage income while property owners enjoy low property taxes here. I also feel that it is morally wrong that native hawaiian groups and interests own a significant fraction of the land and get in perpetuity money off of the users of the land from leaseholds. The natives have their own schools, housing programs, and healthcare resources that are openly discriminatory based on blood race. They natives get these benefits as birth rights. I thought my poor feudal farming ancestors left central Europe 150 years ago to get away from birth rights and then lo and behold here they are again. I also feel that it is immoral that many establishments and activities offer local rates cheaper than the tourist rates. I hope that the mainland starts charging Hawaii residents an extra 10-20 percent when they are visiting the mainland just to even the score. The drivers are extremely bad here - someone dies in a car accident every other day here - oftentimes pedestrians and cyclists are victims. Overall though, I find myself a little bored of the free activities and don't have the budget despite my income level to enjoy the activities that cost money. Also, I think our bus system is terrible here. Da Bus goes all over the island, but da bus is packed, slower than walking, and never on schedule. Cycling is the only efficient way to get around, that is until a driver kills you off. [Comment on this Posting]
You must be living in a trailer park - 3/6/2012
Whoever calculated the cost of living being 74% more than the USA lives at home with mom and dad or added up the percentage of everything being 20% higher. I am originally from the Chicagoland area and from what I saw during my research of the islands is that the rental properties run about 20% higher and that was looking at very nice accommodations. Food varies and in any area where it has to be shipped in, it's going to cost more. I can have my own food shipped for cheaper as it is a major shipping lane and if you make a deal with someone that ships cars to the island for $1000, I'm sure he can load a large box of the items you miss on the mainland every month for a flat fee. It's all about adapting. You can actually get by without a car (so bye bye gas & insurance or get a scooter), it's only an hour across the island of Oahu in a car if you do need one, and as for the temperature, it never breaks 100 and never gets really low making it for moderate temperatures without the need for a/c all day every day unless you're a fatty and need it on 24/7. I can see why someone living the normal fast lane life here would have trouble adapting but as for me and most of the population, I'm sure it'd be the life in a paradise.[Comment on this Posting]
Honolulu from a different perspective - 2/26/2012
I decided to visit the Island with my spouse back in 2010 with an eye toward moving there on a govt transfer. Everything you hear about the beauty of the island is true. We hiked, swam, and just enjoyed the natuarl. As for expenses, coming from new Jersey-New York area, I really wasn't shocked at all. I expected worse. They had a Walmart with prices not too terrible. We found plenty of reasonable places to eat. There was some ugliness mixed in..homeless communities on the beach, a few crazy people and drug users walking around. I have not decided to move there yet. The Island is great, it just that I don't have family there.[Comment on this Posting]

Stupid people who move to Hawaii expecting... - 10/7/2011
As a teen growing up on Oahu, all I wanted to do was "get of the rock"!!! Now in my 30's all I want to do is go home whenever I can. Hawaii, like all states has many problems. Drugs, unemployment, racial tension...,but the good out shines the bad. What makes Oahu unbearable also is what makes it so wonderful... Deal with it or leave. Remember, Hawaii did not ask you to relocate, yet you expected Hawaii to kiss your ass!!!
Don't expect to spend $30 a day, go to Africa for that, Hawaii is part of the USA, so expect high prices...even higher since EVERYTHING but mangos, and papaya have to be shipped.
650 square foot condo's start (START) at about $300,000. If you can't afford it, don't even bother.
Some "white" people feel racial tension. Ummmm...Welcome to the USA. Sorry, your not the majority on Oahu, deal with it like all of the "non whites" do in the upper 48.

They call it Paradise.... - 6/30/2011
but then, they don't live here!
Nice place for vacation...then head for the airport!
We left Tacoma, WA 3 years ago for work - thought the sunny skies would be an improvement over grey sky and rain September to May. The novelty wears off soon, unless you're into hula, ukelele, canoeing, or surfing. After that, you realize that you're living on a huge rock in the middle of the Pacific that gets more and more crowded by the day. "Drive with Aloha," says the bumper sticker - Ha! They don't know how to drive and seem to relish driving 45 mph on the freeway or sitting in an hour-long traffic jam to go 2 miles!
Now, about the "average" $400,000 home... this is a total joke! Try closer to $500-600,000. And be prepared to shell out 2-3 times more for food on the mainland, unless you eat poi 3 times a day! It's cheaper to pour gasoline over your kids' cereal than milk.
So, even though cost of living is unreal, we enjoy beautiful sunsets, daily rainbows, and picturesque landscape at every turn. Worth moving here? H*ll no! Just come visit...then get on home![Comment on this Posting]
Honolulu Weather - 3/25/2011
The weather is the closest to perfection that I can think of. Most days it's warm with trade winds. If the trade winds aren't blowing, the kona winds keep things a little too hot, but that's not the norm. Most folks don't have air-conditioning. And the coldest it gets at night in winter may have you putting on jammies, maybe socks, and an extra blanket; and that's it! Every day can be an outdoor day.[Comment on this Posting]
Fantastic climate - 1/18/2011
Honolulu area boasts a great climate. It is normally in the 70' to 80's all year. There is a great mix of outdoor activities and many cultural events. Plenty of beaches and water sports to enjoy.
Though secluded on an island technology abounds here.
Having lived on the mainland USA I have also been impressed with the quality of health care here.
There are also many social programs here to utilize or volunteer for.
The trade off is that the cost of living is high and in many job categories the pay is low. Many families live together here. The bus system is good and many people here get along without a vehicle. The drawback is if you want to visit off island then you have to fly, which can get expensive.
All in all it is a nice place to live with fantastic weather, if you can adjust to the trade offs.[Comment on this Posting]
Great place to visit but.... - 9/23/2010
don't move here! Unless you like high prices, unreasonable traffic, monotonous weather and are absolute nuts about sports and more sports. No cultural life beyond ukulele concerts, hula and surf competitions; sand and sea get to be a drag after a while.
Don't think about buying a place - who can afford the down payment - and even then, it's half the size of what you'll find on the mainland. Public schools are pretty bad and the cheapest private will set you back over $10,000 per year. Need your car fixed or that sofa you really want - you either wait 10 days + for them to ship it, or it's "not available in Hawaii."
Come on over...just be sure it's a round-trip ticket![Comment on this Posting]
great place - 9/14/2010
Beauiful weather, nice friendly people. A little expensive, hard to earn a living. Must come to the islands with money to survive. Housing is expensive and so is everything else. [Comment on this Posting]
crime - 2/27/2010
has a lot of drug users . about half of the people on Oahu use meth . Meth is destroying everything you love about Hawaii.[Comment on this Posting]
crime - 2/26/2010
its bad[Comment on this Posting]
meth is everywhere - 2/26/2010
I have never seen a drug problem like this. There is a guy who sells meth everday right in front of the international marketplace . He doesnt even try to hide it. No one cares . People are selling it everywhere . Its sad but Meth is going to destroy this place. Also , the homeless people just poop where ever . You can see them in the parks just drop there pants in broad dayight and let it go so watch where you step.[Comment on this Posting]
Very expensive - 2/23/2010
Honolulu is one of those places you either love it or you hate it. It is very expensive and isolated. Probably a better place to vacation than to move to.[Comment on this Posting]
Racial tensions in paradise... - 1/21/2010
The fantasy is that all the racial groups get along well here, but the truth is that there is a lot of hostility towards caucasians. Please do not put your children in the school system here, it is full of racial discrimination and bullying. Its more subtle, but also there for adults. Find your place in the sun where is it friendlier and more racially tolerant.[Comment on this Posting]
There has always been racial tension in Hawaii, bu - 1/21/2010
I have lived in Honolulu for over 25 years. As a caucasian, I have experienced racial prejudice here over the years.but due to the recent influx of immigrants , and very little in the way of social progress here, the treatment of whites is becoming very unpleasant. I would especially caution against putting children into the schools. It is the fantasy of many mainlanders to retire to Hawaii, but again, I would caution that there will be no welcome mat, and a lot of customs and daily social interaction that excludes white people. Bottom line: there are much friendlier places to get some sun.[Comment on this Posting]
Stuck in Hawaii - 1/11/2010
It's not cheap to live in Hawaii but I love it here to much to move to the mainland.[Comment on this Posting]
The best place in the World! - 11/19/2009
Having lived on 4 countries in 3 continents (Vietnam, France, Canada & USA) Hawaii is in my opinion the Best Place in the World! Yes, the cost of living is higher than average, but by shifting priorities, I have learned to make do with less (smaller place to live, less clothes- thanks to the weather, less material possessions...) and just appreciate what is free: the beautiful scenery, outdoor sports, just doing nothing on the beach-my favorite! I have happily lived in Hawaii for 5 years now & just enjoy every minute of it. As a Realtor, I am also lucky to be able to help people who have made the same decision to find their Hawaiian "home".[Comment on this Posting]
Honolulu Cost of Living - 8/31/2009
Cost of Living in Honolulu is extremely high - as of Aug 09 expect to pay about $3.20/gallon for gas and ~$7/gallon for milk. Rent for a 3 bedroom/2 bath home in a decent neighborhood will start at $1800/month...and that's on the low end.[Comment on this Posting]
Life in Waikiki - 8/17/2009
My husband and I relocated in Waikiki in 05 and lived there until he "had to get off the damn rock" in 08, its a move I will forever regret. Since we choose to marry at Diamond Head, and after much time he got a job at a good hotel as the controller, yes its hard, but its worth it.
He reliases noe all he needed was a vacation, we loved our live, since I did not work I did not experience the racism as he did, but with perserverience he came out the winner. His office staff all Hawaiian or Asian not only accepted him but loved him. If its in the cards we will go back and live until we die.
The island is so lovely, the people laid back and accepting once they know you do not feel above them..The taxes are too high and I found the homeless and the not caring attitude hard to cope with, but we loved our lives there.[Comment on this Posting]

The Center for Science in the Public Interest downgrades Splenda to a �caution� rating.
Splenda, or sucralose, was previously given a rating of �safe� by the�Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), but has recently been placed in the �caution� category after a pending unpublished study by an independent Italian laboratory discovered the sweetener caused leukemia in mice. Tate & Lyle,�the company that makes Splenda,�responded�in a statement to�TakePart,�saying the CSPI is basing this new rating on a study that has not been published or peer reviewed yet. The findings are also coming from a lab that has been questioned by global food safety authorities for not following the accepted standards necessary for evaluating safety. The CSPI rates food additives�on the following scale: Safe Cut Back: Not toxic, but large amounts may be unsafe or unhealthy Caution: may pose a risk and needs to be better tested Certain people should avoid Everyone should avoid The artificial sweeteners saccharin�(Sweet �N Low), aspartame�(NutraSweet and Equal)�and acesulfame potassium�(Sunett and Sweet One)�all received an��everyone should avoid��rating. �Sucralose may prove to be�safer�than saccharin, aspartame and acesulfame potassium, but the forthcoming Italian study warrants careful scrutiny before we can be confident that the sweetener is safe for use in food,� says�CSPI Executive Director Michael F.

I am researching ancestors in western LA and eastern TX. I am on the road for now, and I hope to be able to collect photos from far-flung US cemeteries.
If I am managing the memorial of one of your relatives, please let me know and I will transfer it (unless it happens to be my relative, too - then we should compare notes!).

RE: William Standifer and Jordan Compton
Thanks for your help! According to Georgia church and cemetery records, neither name for these two cemeteries is "the official one," and the photo that appears on the Concord Primitive Baptist Church page is actually a photo of the Old Concord Baptist Church!! From the two photos I've found, these were two different churches, but the cemetery is just "Concord Cemetery." I'll see if I can get someone at Find A Grave to straighten this out because I know all these people weren't buried in two cemeteries!

For the past several hours, the last of the Anxi Superfine TGY from TeaVivre, many infusions.
Love, love this tea, gorgeous floral/honeydew melon, such a full sweet mouthful. So sad it's all gone and nowhere to be found (anywhere, besides Ebay?).

OK, so my life has reached another important milestone. My daughter is almost 10, and ready to go to her first concert. She doesn't know it yet, but I do. Think Don Draper, Sally Draper, and the Beatles. I should thank god it's not Bieber, who she hates, but she's obsessed with Taylor Swift. She'd lose her wig to go.
Tay-Tay is supposed to be in C-town in July, but unlike the rest of the world, venue remains unannounced and tix aren't on sale. However, she is in the House of Ketchup, the Temple of Doom, and that is geographically a little closer to me. But it's sold out on ticket master.
So here's my question. I can google anything and find sites, but can anyone tell me if there are some you've used that you can vouch for where you won't get hosed? Chyrnoble scenario would of course be bogus ducats undiscovered until the laser reader at the turnstyle.
Hit me iwth any good recs of bad stories of what to avoid and I'd be most appreciative.
