Corporate Taxes on Table in Cliff Talks
The White House has told Republicans it would include an overhaul of the corporate-tax code as part of any deal to reduce the deficit, people familiar with the talks said, a move to court business groups as budget negotiations intensify.
Corporate taxes hadn't until now been part of budget talks aimed at averting spending cuts and tax increases set for January. Much of the focus has instead been on the expiring individual income-tax rates.
The offer from the White House came amid a fresh round of proposals from both sides, as President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner exchanged counteroffers to address the so-called fiscal cliff. Big gaps remain between Democratic and Republican negotiators, and while talks are continuing, there is no guarantee a deal will be struck, with or without a corporate-tax revamp.
On Wednesday, Mr. Boehner criticized Mr. Obama's latest plan, saying it is unbalanced by focusing too much on tax increases. "His plan does not begin to solve our debt crisis; it actually increases spending," Mr. Boehner said.
The White House's corporate-tax suggestion wasn't specific, according to officials familiar with the offer, other than committing to overhaul the corporate tax code in 2013. White House officials, in making the suggestion, cited a corporate-tax plan the administration unveiled in February but said they weren't wedded to any specifics.
The Fiscal Cliff
Left unclear is the crucial question of how any revamp would affect companies' overall tax burden. That is one reason why Republicans considered it a tactical offer only, and not one that might help seal a deal.
As part of its budget proposal, the White House also slightly lowered its target for new tax revenue to $1.4 trillion, down from Mr. Obama's initial offer of $1.6 trillion, officials said. It retained items from an earlier offer that had irked Republicans, included new stimulus spending and an increase in the U.S.'s borrowing limit.
Mr. Boehner, an Ohio Republican, responded Tuesday with a proposal that wasn't "dramatically" different from the one he made to the White House last week, according to an official familiar with the talks, who declined to elaborate.
The flurry of activity showed the talks were moving along, albeit haltingly. Messrs. Boehner and Obama discussed the negotiations by phone Tuesday evening. The White House in recent days also has been talking with Democratic leaders about the types of spending cuts that might accompany any deal, to calm increasing queasiness in the party over the direction of the talks.
In a brief update on the House floor earlier Tuesday, Mr. Boehner asked, "Where are the president's spending cuts?" He added: "We are still waiting for the White House to identify what specific cuts the president is willing to make." He accused the White House of "slow-walking" the talks. Republicans viewed the White House's latest offer as not that different from its first—heavy on new taxes and light on ideas to trim spending.
Political reaction to the corporate-tax idea split along party lines. A senior Democratic aide described the addition as a smart way of making concessions without having to touch entitlement programs.
Republicans said they didn't consider the move a concession at all, given their assumption that the corporate tax code would be tackled at some point. "It's a red herring," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel. He said keeping individual rates low was a more immediate priority because of its impact on small businesses, many of which aren't structured as corporations, and whose owners pay taxes through the individual tax system.
The White House earlier this year proposed lowering the corporate rate to 28% from 35%, and even lower for manufacturing companies. Lower rates would be combined with eliminating some tax deductions in the White House plan, with the net effect being that the tax burden on companies would remain about the same. But it would be a simpler and clearer system, which many CEOs have sought.
Many Republicans have offered similar proposals, though their proposals call for lowering the corporate rate to 25%. Neither plan gained any traction.
An overhaul of the corporate-tax code came up repeatedly during Mr. Obama's recent meetings to discuss the fiscal cliff with chief executives at the White House. Some CEOs signaled a willingness to accept higher individual tax rates to bring in more revenue, but they said the corporate code needed to be redrawn because it hurt U.S. competitiveness. By agreeing to include an overhaul of the corporate-tax code as part of these discussions, the White House could be trying to further attract business groups to its deficit-reduction plan.
Democrats and Republicans involved in the cliff talks are trying to design a two-phase timetable. If a deal is reached, it would lock in some changes to taxes and spending rules by the end of 2012 and then require a number of more significant changes next year to entitlement programs and the tax code. The White House's corporate-tax plan would fit into the second phase, giving lawmakers, White House officials and business groups time to work through the details.
Falling Over the Fiscal Cliff
See some scenarios for how different groups of people may be affected by the tax changes that will take place if the fiscal cliff isn't resolved by the Jan. 1., 2013, deadline.
The White House's February proposal to redesign the corporate tax code received a lukewarm reception from business groups. Many were supportive of the proposal to lower rates but worried about which industries might get hurt by an accompanying elimination of tax breaks. Many large businesses were also unhappy the White House didn't back a proposal to shield profits from foreign affiliates from U.S. taxation.
Still, business groups saw that early proposal as a starting point, and hoped it would lead to a comprehensive deal, a point several echoed on Tuesday during a conference call organized by the Business Roundtable trade group.
"Start at wiping out all of the deductions, figuring out where that tax rate is—whether it's 25%, 22%, 15%, whatever it is," said Douglas Oberhelman, the chief executive of construction-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. "I think all of us are on that wavelength today to begin the process."
Corporate income taxes make up about 10% of revenue collected by the government. In the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, the government received $2.449 trillion in revenue, with $242 billion of that coming from corporate income taxes.
Big differences remain between the two sides, and in public the Republicans and Democrats continued to hammer at each others' ideas.
The administration's new proposal made no major concessions on entitlements such as Medicare, which it is withholding until Republicans give up ground on tax rates. Republicans likewise want first to see more details on spending cuts.
The Business Roundtable for the first time Tuesday backed the possibility of higher tax rates as part of a broader package of changes to reduce the deficit. The group previously called for extending all the Bush-era tax rates.
John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, an influential trade group that represents large corporations, said he thought a proposal to overhaul the corporate tax code would be well-received by Democrats and Republicans, but wouldn't be enough to replace Republican demands for spending cuts. Still, he said it would help expand the scope of the package, which could ultimately draw more backers.
A small but growing number of Republicans have argued that the party should give up on blocking any rate increase on higher-income Americans and instead shift focus to securing spending cuts as part of the deal.
Some Democrats regard Republicans' eventual concession on taxes as a foregone conclusion, and they have begun to talk among themselves about which concessions on entitlement programs they might be asked to make.
The three leading proposals floated by Republicans include increasing the eligibility age for Medicare, requiring wealthier people to pay more for Medicare and changing the formula for calculating Consumer Price Index adjustments to slow the growth of Social Security benefits.
Many Democrats are especially concerned about looming Medicare cuts if they include a GOP proposal to raise the eligibility age. "If people are working in coal mines in West Virginia, it's really inhumane to talk about raising the eligibility age," said House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, who is close to Mr. Obama. "For those of us in air-conditioned offices to talk about raising the age, that's fine for us to say."
Many Democrats acknowledge that any deficit-reduction package will include proposals they don't like. "There's no way to do this without both sides giving up something," said Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (D., N.D.).
Administration officials have been engaged in conversations with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to bring them along as Mr. Obama negotiates with Mr. Boehner. Those conversations have picked up in recent days as the White House takes soundings from Democratic leaders on what might be possible for the party to stomach in a final deal.
Republicans are frustrated that they haven't secured larger spending-cut commitments from Mr. Obama in exchange for what they see as a major and early concession from Mr. Boehner on tax revenue, said people familiar with the talks.
In his speech Tuesday, Mr. Boehner argued that Mr. Obama's proposed tax increase barely scratches the surface of the deficit problem.
"Even if we did exactly what the president wants, we would see red as far as the eye can see," Mr. Boehner told the House. Aides said Mr. Boehner decided to make the speech because he believed recent reports of tentative progress in his talks with Mr. Obama played down differences that remain on spending.
The White House rejected Mr. Boehner's complaint that Mr. Obama hadn't put forward detailed spending cuts.
"What we haven't seen from Republicans to this day is a single specific proposal on revenue," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "And in fact, we've seen less specificity from Republicans on spending cuts than the president himself has proposed."

Tuesday marks one week since Black Forest Fire
More evacuees return home; many still not allowed to return
BLACK FOREST, Colo. - Black Forest Fire evacuees try to balance patience and understanding with anxiety and frustration about taking so long to return to their homes.
At Tuesday's daily fire briefing, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said he understands how eager evacuees are to return -- even those whose homes were destroyed in the fire.
"I'm trying to make that happen as soon as possible," he said. "But bear in mind that some areas still are not safe, and won't be for awhile."
Maketa allowed more evacuees to return Tuesday afternoon and evening. The Cathedral Pines subdivision reopened at 2 p.m., with the area returning to pre-evacuation status -- a sign that a fire risk remains.
Residents along Shoup Road were allowed to temporarily return between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Authorities manned several checkpoints, verified identifications and addresses, and gave returning residents red markers to register them as evacuees who belong in the area.
Bill Yeager, a Black Forest resident, said he hasn't seen his home since he took a brief visit there Friday to get medicine.
"It was still smoldering then," he said. "I lost my barn. Until I see it for myself again, I really don't know for sure how my house is. It's tough and frustrating, but I understand there still are hot spots in there. We've got to consider that."
Earlier on Tuesday, around 11 a.m., a line of vehicles waited at the intersection of Vollmer and Burgess roads to be escorted back to neighborhoods by authorities.
Maketa said there have been six burglary cases reported in the fire zone, but the gradual return of evacuees should reduce further break-ins.
"I was very impressed by how tight security is," said Rich Harvey, incident commander for the fire. "We saw a flashlight (beam) moving around in a residence Monday night. We reported it, and seven cop cars were there in a flash."
Harvey said it turns out the light was from a TV set that had been left on.

A blog is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries, often updated daily and reflecting the personality of the author. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) or content published from a mobile phone (moblog). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts.

The city bursts into life with shows and exhibitions, many free of charge, writes Jo Bates
The Sydney Festival's new artistic director has been seduced by the happy, shiny city, which makes the selling easy. When asked why New Zealanders should visit, Dutchman Lieven Bertels says: "The city is the canvas. Celebrating Sydney in summer is just one of the good reasons. Sure, if you have an unlimited travel budget you could traverse the world and collect your own festival. What the Sydney Festival does, and what makes it unique, is creating the ability to see lots of works in a short amount of time and in unusual and unique spaces. Everyone should see a production at the Sydney Opera House and you can do that with Stanley Kubrick's A Space Odyssey [set to sound with the Sydney Symphony and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs], then build a weekend around it."
This year's programme, which runs until January 27 and includes 92 events, 18 of which are free. The festival is now in its 36th year and will showcase events throughout Sydney.
Bertels, who helped relaunch the Holland Festival as a leader in its field, suggests culture lovers pack in an intense few days of the arts. Start with a high-ticket headline act, then make the most of the more affordable and free events.
The festival opening has traditionally been an extravaganza, drawing huge crowds. Due to NSW State budget cuts, the scale was pared back, but the opening still delivered humour, whimsy and a party. "People really expect a party from us," explains Bertels.
Darling Harbour became a giant sudsy bubble bath for artist Florentijn Hofman's giant Rubber Duck; accompanied by floating dance and music.
Here, Bertels shares his personal hot-ticket international picks.
Semele Walk: What was supposed to be a one-off season in Germany has become an exclusive for Sydney. After "crawling on our knees", Bertels and his team convinced Vivienne Westwood to turn her talents to what he says has "Sydney written all over it: sophisticated and fun at the same time, with a unique mix of fine music and great fashion design. It shows what a festival can do best: turn a heritage building like the Sydney Town Hall into an amazing performing arts venue with a 36m-long catwalk where the audience sits alongside and the orchestra mingles with them."
Rian: Bertels reckons even die-hard misanthropes will be swept up in the joyful warmth of this upbeat collection of song and dance from Irish dance group Fabulous Beast. "Festival shows can be great for many reasons: they surprise you, they get you to think about something, they make you laugh or cry, or they simply seem to have happiness on tap." With its West-African twist, Rian is in the latter category, says Bertels.
Urban, Circolombia: "High voltage and spectacular, I saw the sexy Latino circus show Urban from Circolombia when it opened in London and was hooked on the unique combination of authentic street cred and high-energy circus acrobatics." (Also appearing at the Auckland Festival in March.)
Paradiso at Sydney Town Hall: Bertels pulled a few strings back in Holland to borrow the name of Amsterdam's famous Paradiso club for the Sydney festival's new pop-up bar and music venue at the city's Town Hall. "Some of my favourite new music acts will perform in the evening including Rokia Traor, Nicolas Jaar and Osaka Monaurail, the Japanese answer to James Brown."
Eraritjaritjaka: Heiner Goebbel's multi-award winning production features French actor Andre Wilms and Amsterdam's acclaimed Mondriaan String Quartet in a spellbinding blend of music, video and special effects: "A feast for the senses that's not restricted by the confines of the physical theatre space."
Symphony: "Symphony is based on Beethoven's 7th symphony and is played as a solo on a bass guitar. It is highly physical theatre directed by Patrick Nolan and he's created a wonderful event that deals with puberty and growing up."

I opened my hive a couple days ago and decided to video tape myself doing it this time. So I set up my Canon 7D and all my expensive professional sound recording gear and shot myself inspecting my hive. It's not easy to work with the bees and shoot a video. The bees were very patient with me and put up with my silliness.

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal took on Sunderland in the FA Cup on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Kenny Sansom and Leanne of LadyArse.
Read on for their post-match thoughts.
Another one bites the dust. The match went like I thought it might; Arsenal dominated possession without finding a way through Sunderland's stubborn defence and then got caught on the break. Martin O'Neill always gets his sides to work incredibly hard and that is exactly what they did again on Saturday, and they deserved to win. Arsenal looked leggy and while they could possibly count themselves unlucky not to get a penalty in the first half when Robin van Persie appeared to be tripped in the area, they did not create enough to ever see them getting back into the game once they went one down. With Spurs up next they can't afford to feel sorry for themselves, they are still in the driving seat for fourth place in the Premier League and they must focus on that now.
You don't need me to tell you that this is a huge, huge game for Arsenal. Win and a trophy remains within reach; lose and all we'll have left is a race for fourth place. On the evidence of last Saturday's game we are in for another tight battle with Sunderland probably conceding possession to Arsenal and looking to hit them on the break. It worked for Milan in midweek and Martin O'Neill will try and use the pace of Sessegnon to do likewise. Gervinho is back and he'll have something to prove after his Africa Cup of Nations disappointment. I think Arsenal will repeat their 2-1 win and reach the last eight.
Well a bad week just got worse. You could see the difference in energy levels between the two sides - Sunderland were well rested and tore into every tackle, while Arsenal looked tired. The pitch didn't help at all and neither did losing Francis Coquelin to injury so early. We actually started quite brightly but the longer the game wore on, the more Sunderland's pressing game had an effect and we looked out of sorts. They scored from their first real attempt on goal and from that point on Arsenal had to go for it, and we got caught again on the break for the second. It's really disappointing as I had hoped for a more high-tempo performance but their midweek game in Milan obviously caught up with them.
Arsenal will be down after the Milan game but the FA Cup should lift them - this is a special trophy and they need all the players to go out there and make sure they do their jobs. If they do that they've got a chance. There was no energy from them at the San Siro, it was too flat, and with the exception of Van Persie and Szczesny I think we need to see an improvement. I thought last weekend's game at Sunderland could easily have been a draw and this will be tight as well. Playing the same team so soon doesn't really matter because there is not a lot between these sides. It's a massive, massive game for Arsenal and I think they can get the right result.
It's not often I struggle to find a positive spin after a result but that is the strange position I find myself in after losing this match 2-0. Three injuries and out of the only trophy which gave us a realistic chance of silverware this season does not make for a fun afternoon. Sunderland gave a committed display in front of their home fans as we knew they would and credit must go to them for their determination to close us down all over the pitch and allow us no time and space. Heavy legs prevailed from the midweek trip to Milan but the team cannot allow themselves to wallow in this defeat with the North London derby on the horizon. Getting back to a match at the Emirates, where we know the pitch will be conducive to the football we look to play, will help considerably. With more than a week between games the team should be adequately rested and have put this last week behind them, enabling them to concentrate on cementing a Champions League spot for next season. Bad weeks happen in football and how you respond is often how you are defined.
This has been a tough week for Arsenal and both the team and fans need to shake off the disappointment of Wednesday night as soon as possible. Heading to Sunderland for the second time in a week, we know what to expect – a tough team who are well organised and hard to break down but Arsenal simply have no choice but to make a statement in the FA Cup. Losing Koscielny to injury midweek was a massive blow as he has been one of our best performers all season and just as we start to get our full backs fit again it seems doubly cruel to be losing our centre backs but there's not much we can do about that. The injury-time winner against Sunderland last week will give the team some confidence but we will head to the Stadium of Light without Henry whose introduction made such an impact in the league. Arsenal simply cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves after their poor display in the Champions League and fans are expecting nothing less than 100 per cent effort and a marked improvement from midweek. Anything less and we will be heading home to London out of the FA Cup.

Stop posturing
Republicans have expressed concerns about the
Republican Reps. Daudt and Hamilton even sent a letter questioning my
support for Greater Minnesota. I believe Minnesotans care much more
about results and they will judge the success or failure of the new DFL
majority based on results for agriculture and rural Minnesota, not on
committee structure.
These attacks are more confusing when you
consider that the Republican majority had the same committee structure
from 2005-06, when they had an Agriculture, Environment, and Natural
Resources Finance Committee. That committee was also chaired by a metro
legislator. Rep. Hamilton raised no objections at that time.
would make one think this is merely political posturing and an attempt
to divide this state. I hope not. Helping farmers is among our top
priorities, and agriculture has been an area of bipartisan success.
Part of being an effective legislator involves building relationships.
I've worked to build relationships across both party lines and
geographical lines. If we're going to be successful, we need to work
together. We'll have disagreements, but partisan attacks won't move our
state forward.
Despite the GOP's complaints, rural Minnesota willhave a stronger voice in this majority. Eighty-three percent of the
state's budget is now under the leadership of chairpersons from greater
Minnesota. Greater Minnesota will be heard loud and clear this session.
of arguing about committees or attempting to divide this state, let's
get to work on improving all of Minnesota. We need to get to work on
boosting agriculture in this state. We need to get to work on improving
our schools and lowering property taxes in this state. It's time for
solutions, not political posturing.
Rep. John Ward
District 10A

Even if you know when the term "open innovation" was coined, do you know who came up with it?
Professor Henry Chesbrough, Executive Director of the Center for Open Innovation at the University of California (Berkeley), first used the term in his book, Open Innovation – The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology.
The book is based on his research into the innovation practices of large global companies.
Sound interesting? Chesbrough will be joining us for a webcast on Thursday, November 11, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. EST/ 10:30 a.m. PST.

Most tripple tow laws are similiar: 65' max combined length max trailer length 45' max tow bar length 15' Any trailer over 4500lbs requires brakes Safety chains required on trailers over 3000lb 70 mph max daytime speed for any trailers under 26' 65 mph max nightine speed 27' and up max daytime 60 mph and 55 nightime 5th wheels max daytime 60 mph and nightime 55 mph no matter length Tow vehicle or trailer can be no wider than 8.5' and no higher than 14' Max combined weight is 25,999 class B license required for 26,0000 and above I regularly tow a 45' three car goose neck tripple axle trailer behind a 2005 C/C dually 4wd diesel. Next weekend Im planning on attemting my first tripple tow with my 18' ski boat (total length 20.5') behind a 25' trailer, yea I know Im already starting out illegal by .05 buy I figute if a trooper is gung ho enough to stop and measure that close he'll find something to get me on anyways. I was thinking about putting the boat and trailer on my car hauler but even at the back of the hauler the trailet was very close to 14', I know I'm willing to break the law by length but then worry about height? The reason for this thinking is theirs a couple low bridges on the way to the lake Im going to, one as low as 15', but the height sign is old, and looks a lot older than about two or three repavement jobs. I know I cant back up with this rig, but my real concern is cornering. Anyone ever tripple towed and have a few tricks or tips to share?

The guy is good. He has done what has been asked of him and the offense for the Redskins has been tailored to fit him. I don't care if he is drawing up plays in the dirt in the huddle, because if that is what he is doing then he is kicking *** doing it. Hell, even his fakes had the camera following backs that didn't have the ball.
I think there are alot of sour grapes right now because the Giants were not able to do what they should've to put the game out of reach. The frustration level is high right now because the Giants are making it come down to the wire yet again. The Giants cannot and will not make the playoffs this year off the foot of Tynes. If the Giants do not get their ***** together they may well be sitting at home watching the Redskins in the playoffs.

Rutgers University's athletics subsidy grows
Rutgers President Robert L. Barchi promised to put university athletics on the path to solvency, but during his first year in office the school boosted its support to the money-losing department by two-thirds to nearly $47 million — reportedly making Rutgers the most highly subsidized public sports program in the nation, documents show.
The increase, found in the university's required financial report to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, comes at a time when students at the state school grapple with one of the highest public tuitions in the nation and the state faces a huge budget shortfall.
Rutgers officials said the $19 million increase in the subsidy primarily was used to pay for the fallout from high-profile scandals that racked the department and costs associated with the public university's high-profile entrance into the Big Ten Athletic Conference, where it will face big-name opponents like Penn State and Michigan.
"These were significant one-time costs and investments," said Janine M. Purcaro, chief financial officer for the athletic department.
Barchi, who has said he wants the athletic department to be self-sufficient by 2020, did not respond to a request to be interviewed about the report. Athletic Director Julie Hermann also did not respond to an interview request.
The report, which was widely released on Monday, showed ticket sales dipped by $1.2 million and contributions plunged by $3 million during the 2012-13 season, when a nationally televised videotape of men's basketball coach Mike Rice verbally and physically abusing players made headlines.
The Rutgers athletic department paid nearly $2.2 million to Rice, who was fired, and his boss, Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, who was ousted for failing to dismiss Rice more quickly. The school also faces financial liability from lawsuits pending over the matter.
"It was difficult to fundraise," Purcaro conceded. "But that's all behind us now. We fully expect that excitement over the Big Ten will get us more donations."
Rutgers has poured millions of dollars into its football program during the last decade. It borrowed more than $100 million for a stadium expansion. The team finished the 2013 season with a 6-7 record. The school signed Hermann to a five-year deal worth as much as $2.5 million to succeed Pernetti.
Overall, the department's revenue fell 11 percent to $32 million, the report states. Nearly 60 percent of Rutgers' $79 million athletic budget for 2012-13 was subsidized: $37 million in direct institutional support and $9.9 million from mandatory student fees.
Part of the deficit came from paying $5 million of an $11.5 million penalty for leaving the Big East Conference (now called the American Athletic Conference) for the Big Ten, said Purcaro. Rutgers also paid $7 million to cancel its marketing contract with Nelligan Sports and upped its travel budget by $1 million, Purcaro said.
Meanwhile, tuition and fees for residents at the state university top $13,000, one of the highest rates in the country for a public school. Rutgers gets about a fifth of its budget from state taxpayers, and some question the sports spending.
"I don't think it helps the academic experience," said Bryan Miranda, a 20-year-old sophomore who said he had to take a semester off because of the cost. He returned with the help of family and contributions from faith groups. "One of my teachers today was saying she was disgusted that so many students email her saying they have been de-registered" and can't finish her class because they can't pay.
Rutgers officials contend that the entrance into the Big Ten – which officially begins in July – will provide a $200 million windfall over the next dozen or so years and make the athletic department self-sufficient. Some view those projections as overly optimistic, since only a handful of the top Division I athletic programs require no university subsidies.
"If you do the arithmetic on how much money we're being told is going to come in from the Big Ten, it's not as rich a pot as it looks like" and wouldn't cover the investment being made now, said Lucye Millerand, president of the Union of Rutgers Administrators. "There are questions about whether this can ever be a self-sustaining program, let alone a profit-making program; very few schools' athletic departments are. Who the heck breaks into that closed circle?"
Millerand said student fees had risen steeply in recent years, making Rutgers' cost increasingly prohibitive.
"You can invest in staff, you can invest in students. … The fact this [athletics] is the No. 1 priority for what we can do with these increased student fees is unfair," she said.
The financial statement was first reported in USA Today, which keeps a nationwide database and said the Rutgers subsidy was the largest in a single season ever recorded by an NCAA Division I public school athletics program.
Rutgers has already ramped up spending to enter the new conference in expectation that the more prestigious league will boost ticket sales.
Purcaro and other officials at Rutgers say a new contract with the marketing company IMG College will reap $65 million for Rutgers over the next dozen years. Additionally, Rutgers stands to garner $25 million annually in television revenue after its sixth year in the Big Ten.
Assemblywoman Sheila Oliver, D-Essex, said Rutgers may be "chasing a pipe dream."
"Will we ever be the type of big-college football we see on Saturdays on ESPN? I don't think we'll get there," she said. "I would like to see more monies made available for tuition assistance rather than athletics."
Andrew Zimbalist, an economist at Brown University who studies college sports, called the Rutgers subsidy "breathtaking." He said entrance into the Big Ten will generate more revenue from ticket sales and television contracts. But he cautioned that the move is no panacea and is not likely to generate a profitable program.
"It's a long shot," he said. "It's not something to bet on, and surely not something to bet state money on."

I suppose CLE could have been very well prepared on that play and defended it well, but I don't think that was the case. What's the point of playing Sheed the whole first quarter if he's going to get 3 shots? It doesn't matter at this point, but they should sub Max and Amir in for each other every 5-6 minutes. I love how they're playing Sheed, Tay et al 41 minutes in the throw away year. That's going to pay off down the road. Some home stand, huh?

Backus Auxiliary members to be honored for 60 years service
The Backus American Legion will honor two members of the Legion Auxiliary — Charlotte Thaler and Helen Reeve — for their 60 years of service with the Auxiliary at the Monday, April 22, business meeting.
Reeve was a charter member, a distinction Thaler missed by just a few months.
"We moved up here and my mother had joined, so I just joined. And I enjoyed it. We did a lot of different work with different people. It was just a way of helping the community," Thaler said.
Both of these distinguished members were raised in families with military ties.
"My husband was a veteran, and then my oldest son was in the service. He was in the Air Force. My youngest son was in the Navy for a while," Thaler said. "My brother was in the service, my husband's brothers. We were just service-minded people."
Likewise, Reeve's also had many family members in the service, including one younger brother.
"He was a senior in high school. And that was quite a deal. They (his classmates) all wanted to join in January and all go together, but he wasn't 18 until May," Reeve said. "So he worked on my dad until he signed for him, and then they went in January and he was killed in June."
Reeve also had many cousins in the service, one of whom was killed at Pearl Harbor and another at the Battle of the Bulge.
Though both Auxiliary members appreciate the honor they will receive, they are both humble about their service to the group. Neither is hesitant to show appreciation for the hard work of their fellow members.
"I'm just an ordinary person who likes to help as often as I can. I worked with a lot of the ladies, and they did just as much if not more than what I have done. I enjoyed being with them and we did lots for different organizations. We just helped out the community, that's all," Thaler said. "I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging (about myself). I'm bragging about the Legion, yes. I'm bragging about the Auxiliary because they are a good group of people. I'm very proud of our Legion and Auxiliary."
Though it has since grown, Thaler remembers a time when there were only 12 Auxiliary members. Unfortunately, many of those Thaler and Reeve worked alongside are no longer around. It is for this, and other reasons, that the Auxiliary honors those it still can.
"I am only 81 years old and she (Reeve) is 96 years old, so we're not young people anymore," Thaler said. "We just worked together, all of us did, but a lot of the old members are gone now, too."
"I'm very fortunate to still be here. That's the way I feel about it. I'm in pretty good health," Reeve said.
Since joining the Auxiliary, Thaler has held every position except historian, and she is still currently on a board. Reeve holds a lifetime membership and has held each chair at least once before becoming a president twice. She was treasurer for 24 years because she enjoyed the job nobody else seemed to want.
"I enjoyed being treasurer, too. If I didn't understand something I didn't say a word to anyone, I just called the department in St. Paul and the nice lady down there told me what I needed to know, and I thought that was nice," Reeve said.
They've worked together with the Auxiliary for many years.
"She's a wonderful person. How else would you describe her?" Thaler said. "A wonderful person and a good friend."
"Charlotte and I are very good friends. Her oldest and my oldest went to school together and graduated together. She had a boy and I had a girl," Reeve said. "She and I always got along. She and I were the ones that organized the breakfast."
Though Thaler and Reeve both seem more proud of their fellow members than they are of themselves, those who worked alongside them have a real appreciation for all they have done.
"I've lived up here full time since 2001, so for 12 years I've known both of them fairly well," said Jean Dawson, another former Auxiliary president. "They've both put in a lot of time over the years. They were instrumental in working very hard towards making sure the Legion had the money to buy the building for the club to keep it running and operational. We just wanted to recognize that and they are hard workers."

My Own Kind of Networking
Seco Tools recently hosted a gathering at its Troy, Michigan facility to promote and strengthen manufacturing in southeast Michigan. Creating opportunities for "networking" was one of the goals of this event, called "Making Manufacturing a Priority." I was there and did my own networking, too. It was a valuable experience.
Kurt Nordlund, president of Seco Tools NAFTA, welcomed attendees at the beginning of the event.
Networking is an activity that is hard to define. It's more purposeful than hobnobbing; more sincere than schmoozing. Meeting new people who can do things with you or for you to mutually benefit from, is networking at its best. Doing this kind of networking is one of the reasons why I attended "Making Manufacturing a Priority," this year's inaugural event for the committee that directs "Automation Alley," a long-standing government/industry initiative, which seeks to boost manufacturing in southeastern Michigan.
Hosted by Seco Tools at its North American headquarters and technical Center in Troy, Michigan, this event drew more than 100 attendees representing a variety of manufacturing companies from the region. Speakers, roundtable discussions, several tabletop exhibits and machine tools running in the showroom comprised the "program" for this late afternoon-early evening event and gave it just enough structure for lively yet focused participation. There was also plenty of time for networking, which, according to Seco, provides a commercial-free forum for manufacturers and their suppliers to meet and discuss topics important to them.

Published March 12, 2013Read another story about the MIdwest Training CenterVisit Washburn Tech online
Washburn Tech's sparkling new Midwest Training Center was highlighted Tuesday morning as a model of excellence in Kansas and nationally by state lawmakers, business leaders and industry executives.
The Midwest Training Center for Climate and Energy Control Technologies will serve 16 students at a time and offer both continuing education for current industry professionals and credentials for entry level heating, ventilation and air conditioning technicians.
Blake Flanders, vice president of workforce development for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the training center was an example of "boots on the ground" in the state's effort to substantially increase its proportion of skilled workers by 2018.
"This is a local response to the statewide vision of being able to get our Kansas workforce up to what the need is going to be," he said.
Governor Sam Brownback toured the facility Tuesday and called it "one of the great models around the country."
Brownback praised Washburn Tech and industry partners Trane and Snap-on tools for bringing the training center from idea to fruition so quickly.
"This is really what we need to do," he said.
Flanders said the training center is a model collaboration in response to Senate Bill 155 of 2012. The law, which went into effect in July, makes technical education courses free for high school students and provides their home school districts a $1,000 incentive if they graduate with a technical certification. An estimated 6,000 Kansas high school students are taking advantage of the new opportunity this year.
"Juniors and seniors in high school, working adults who want to update their skills or adults not currently participating in the economy" all will benefit from programs like the Midwest Training Center, Flanders said. And by increasing the number of potential employees available, he said, businesses are enticed to open, stay and grow in Kansas.
Washburn Tech will begin in April its next short course designed to give students a taste of the field before they make a commitment.
Washburn Tech Dean Clark Coco said the new training center represented a unique opportunity.
"We're going to do more than educate," he said. "We're going to change lives."

Over the years, nearly 4,000 Astondoa boats, some up to about 200 feet long, have splashed happily into the water, and yet you could be forgiven if you've never heard of the company. They are not as common a name as some of their competitors—the Sunseekers and Azimuts of the world. And that's because traditionally they haven't spent a heck of a lot of money on marketing and advertising, particularly in the U.S., instead opting to put the money back into the boatbuilding process. But that's about to change, as the company is gearing up to make a push into the American market, and your consciousness.

THis team is crazy deep! I raved about the drafting of Tim Hardaway Jr and was fully on board with the trade for Andrea, and i'm also on record right now, as saying, this team will go further in the postseason then they did last yr! Confrence Finals at worst!

I will agree with the notion that he is very inconsistent.
But perhaps it may be by design?
For Example: He orchestrated the 2 worst offensive games weve seen in recent memory vs Cincy and Pitt (ironically 2 teams not in the NFC = no harm in playoff picture other than the losses) and the next game vs GB, Kevin writes a magnificent game plan and we put up 30+ on the pack,
So maybe his inconsistencies are on purpose? Probably not, but its worth take a closer look.
But besides all of that, overall KG does a good job. He will make you want to pull your teeth out some games, and others you will want to cuddle with him alllll night long.

Cobi Stool by Turnstone
designed by Turnstone Design Studio and Luke Pearson of PearsonLloyd
Meet Cobi, the newest addition to Turnstone's home office and task seating collection.
At A Glance:
The Cobi Chair and Stool are sometimes referred to as being very "Mac-ish," because its design is so similar to the bulky, white Apple monitors of years past. The Cobi Stool, too, has a white outline with bright, bold color on the seat and seat back, and the design of the chair makes it appear to be unfolding, the way a laptop might. It's also quite small and slight.
What's To Like:
The smallness of the stool and the complete lack of bulk or clutter when it comes to adjustments, armrests, and features, make it very freeing. The stool was designed so that you could constantly shift positions without getting uncomfortable. The open design of the chair combined with the bright, light-hued color makes the stool so fresh you may want to slap it. And it starts at $639, so if the aforementioned slapping episode were to get out of hand, you could replace it very easily.
What's Not to Like:
Again, this is not a stool for tall, large, or heavy people. It can't hold just any old passenger in a deeply comfortable way. There are also no big features and few adjustments.
The Bottom Line:
It's high gloss, high fun, high color and style, and it's meant to embrace movement. This is not a work-ten-hour-days chair, or a one-size-fits-all heavy duty work chair. It's the fun, fresh Cobi.
Standard Cobi Stool features include:
- Flexing top edge: The Cobi stool allows users to rest their heads, arms, backs, even legs on top of the stool, supporting a variety of postures. The flexing edge takes pressure off the back, shoulders and limbs that use it for support, as well as increases circulation. Cobi makes you more comfortable, looser and more free to move as you please.
- Flexing back: Provides comfort and support for users. The Cobi also conforms and contours to the shape and pressure of your back and shoulders.
- Flexing seat: Encourages users to move and shift, and allows for any variety of postures. Whether you're laid back or posture-perfect, Cobi works for you.
- Weight-activated mechanism: Sensing your center of gravity, the Cobi adjusts to the position that will put the least amount of stress on the back, shoulders and legs, while still keeping you properly oriented and supported.
- Adjustable Seat height: Cobi accommodates different heights and leg lengths. To raise or lower the Cobi stool, just pull the lever up.
- Adjustable Foot Ring
Raise or lower the foot ring height up to 4 inches.
Choose from a wide variety of configurations, from a large selection of upholstery colors and base and frame finishes, arms or no arms - Cobi fits virtually any work style and any space.
The Turnstone Cobi Stool is also known by the following manufacturer item numbers: 434710, 434711.

By that standard, Cobi is a success. With only one adjustable feature (seat height), the Cobi will not require an instruction manual or a training course to get comfortable. When you buy Cobi and take a seat, you'll immediately recognize what Pearson and Co. had in mind. The weight-activated seat mechanism in Cobi senses your center of gravity and adjusts. You don't have to do a thing. Simply relax as the back, seat, and top edge of the chair contour to your body. Unlike most office chairs, Cobi is responsive to any way of sitting. The weight activation mechanism means you can sit in the center, off to the side, or any other way you please. This is a feature that was paramount to the creative process behind Turnstone Cobi's production. Pearson desired a smart chair that would support a wide variety of styles and personalities.
The first Cobi Chair design idea was "fingers" that fan out along the seat back and flex to adjust to the occupant's posture. This fits in with the idea of being simple, yet useful. After all, when you're sitting in a meeting, do you really want to spend time moving knobs and levers, adjusting each inch to get the right feel? We didn't think so. The folks at Turnstone achieved a productive comfortable feel with the Cobi without creating a chair that is static or heavy. In fact, the opposite is true. Everything about the Cobi Chair is designed for it to be an extension of your body, to move with you. This includes the new Cogent Connect 3D fabric, a knit material that is breathable, soft, and flexible.
What more could you ask for? Turnstone and Luke Pearson sought a solution to a seemingly simple problem - comfort in the home or office. What they have done with the Cobi Chair is a reflection of their commitment to this end. Buy Cobi today for no frills comfort with a purpose, keeping you focused on what's important, not on your chair.
Every part of Cobi was designed to flex and adjust to your body. Cobi's top flexing edge lets you comfortably rest your arm on top of the chair, while the flexing seat encourages you to move around and shift, allowing you to sit centered or off to the side. Cobi's flexing back contours to support any posture your body needs at any given moment.
Turnstone received the prestiguous 2009 Red Dot Design Award for Cobi. The Red Dot Award, formally known as Design Innovations, is ranked among the largest design competitions.
The modern office environment also demands productive collaboration now more than ever. Decisions are made synergetically, and working together effectively has become just as important as working at the individual level. With this in mind, Turnstone asked, "Can we make collaborative seating better?"
The answer is yes. The Cobi Chair is designed specifically to foster collaboration.
Design Story
- The observations:
- Collaboration takes time. Cobi would need to be an adaptable, flexible chair for long periods of sitting.
- People don't adjust their chairs in collaborative settings. When you're listening to a presentation or putting heads together over a tough problem, adjusting your chair is the last thing on your mind. Luckily Cobi has taken care of that issue by being intuitive and responding automatically to all kinds of pressure and varieties of gravitational centers.
- People change postures frequently while collaborating. Nervous energy, the flow of ideas, and the long hours make meetings prime-time for shifting and re-adjusting the position of your body. The Cobi chair is designed to handle that very thing.
- The insights:
- The Cobi chair should promote movement and be comfortable for long periods of time.
- Adjustments to Cobi should be automatic and intuitive.
- Cobi should support multiple postures.
The Turnstone Cobi chair is a rousing success on all three fronts.
The Turnstone Cobi chair encourages movement and supports and contours to a variety of postures. With only one adjustment (seat height), and a mechanism that's weight activated and senses and supports your own center of gravity, anyone can get comfortable quickly.
In addition to the features already listed, the Turnstone Cobi chair has a wide range of options:
- Stool version available (with and without arms)
- Armless chair available
- Four finish colors: black, near black, platinum and arctic white
- Optional sewn seat cushion to accommodate various fabric, leather and vinyl options.
- Seat is available with Turnstone and Designtex fabric, leather, or vinyl - as well as customer's own material, customer's own leather, or customer's own vinyl.
- Connect 3D material is standard on the chair back with matching Cogent: Connect seat, or with a seat upholstery of your choice.

About Nancy Sathre-VogelAfter 21 years as a classroom teacher, Nancy Sathre-Vogel finally woke up and realized that life was too short to spend it all with other people's kids. She and her husband quit their jobs and, together with their twin sons, climbed aboard bicycles to see the world. They enjoyed four years cycling as a family - three of them riding from Alaska to Argentina and one exploring the USA and Mexico. Now they are back in Idaho, putting down roots, enjoying life at home, and living a different type of adventure. It's a fairly sure bet that you'll find her either writing on her computer or creating fantastical pieces with the beads she's collected all over the world.

And if, for example, I found a nice Willcox & Gibbs hand crank in good shape I'd fully expect to pay more than that. How much more I'd be willing/able to pay is another matter :)

The USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Championship began their season with a thriller at Bubba Raceway Park while the Southern States Division II Midgets put on some exciting racing as well.
The Midgets had a wild 15-lapper that started with Aaron Farnay, Darrin Davis, and Ryan Partin the starting order. Partin made quick work of Davis who's car started to smoke as the race came to a close. With Davis' off the pace it left just Partin to defend home soil and he did just that as he strolled to his first ever win on the 3/8 mile track. Farnay finished in a solid 2nd place and Davis went back to the chalkboard in 3rd.
USAC Preliminary Events started with Chase Stockton falling less than 0.15 off of the track record but he did walk away with the Fast Qualifer Award. Nick Drake would start the heat races off with a win and Brady Scott, "The Wild Child" Jac Haudenschild, and Shane Cottle followed in his footsteps. The 4 heats locked 16 cars in and a B Main, won by Chris Windom, secured 6 more spots on the 22-car starting grid.
Feature action started with Dave Darland and Coleman Gulick going at it up front before a lap 3 red flag when Shane Cottle flipped his #2. "The Throttle" walked away from the crash but lost valuable time and cash. On the restart Gulick found himself doing 2 full 360s before the yellow was displayed; however, under yellow, he lost his cool and rammed Darland (who he was upset with for the restart that seemed slow) and was immediately parked. Action didn't stop there as he pulled to the pit exit and showed his displeasure to Darland who nearly earned a black flag himself. The hoopla allowed Bryan Clauson, Brady Bacon, and Kevin Thomas to slot in positions 2-4 behind Darland. The final caution came on lap 5 of the 30-lapper when Brady Short cut a tire down and didn't maintain a reasonable pace. After the restart Clauson hounded Darland and as they approached lapped traffic it gave Clauson his shot and he led for a brief moment on lap 21 but gave it right back to Darland. With white flag in view Clauson made another move against the cushion and it stuck- Clauson, unlike last year when he spun to the infield at the checkers, took the trip to Victory Lane in the Tony Stewart Racing #20 to keep TSR a perfect 3-for-3 at Bubba Raceway Park in 2013. Darland would wind up in 2nd but had to fend off Brady Bacon who finished a quiet 3rd. Hunter Schuerenberg and Robert Ballou rounded out the top 5.
Tomorrow night we again start at 8 and it's still USAC and the Southern States Midgets! Pits open at 5 and grandstands at 6- don't miss the action and you can look everything up on www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call us at 352-622-9400!

Serene Stimuli in Wisconsin's Driftless Area
Inn at Lonesome Hollow • Soldiers Grove, WI
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays or Fridays and Saturdays, in a Deluxe Inn Room
- Daily Breakfast
- Bottle of Wine, Cheese Platter, and Fresh Flowers Upon Arrival
If the words "peace" and "quiet" are music to your ears, then get ready to hear a pin drop: you're off on a tranquil two-night Escape for two, Sundays through Thursdays or Fridays and Saturdays, to the Inn at Lonesome Hollow, located near the village of Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, just two hours from Madison ($189).
Treat all of your senses at this eco-friendly B&B certified by Travel Green Wisconsin, and unwind in the hushed tranquility of your deluxe room, featuring locally made Amish furniture, heated floors, a private bath, and a thermostat-controlled gas fireplace.
Delight your sense of touch when you sink into your king or queen-size bed, complete with luxury 400-thread count linens and an Amish quilt; feast your eyes on the gorgeous views of either Lonesome Hollow valley or a private sunken garden; treat your taste buds to the complimentary cheese platter and bottle of wine you'll receive upon arrival; and breathe in the scent of fresh flowers in your room.
Each morning you'll please your palate with a daily breakfast, served in your preferred spot—the common area, main upstairs dining room, private sunroom, or outdoors on the front patio or in the gazebo. Owner and Chef Nora uses fresh, organic, and locally grown ingredients to prepare homemade fare like French toast, quiche, and warm pastries.
Situated on 160 rural acres, the inn's property contains a sensory overload of natural beauty, including 100 acres of protected deciduous forest, a large pond, and a quaint vineyard. Traipse through the nearly two miles of private hiking trails in the surrounding valley. If you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up when you're done, coffee and tea are available 24/7 at the B&B's coffee buffet, where you'll also find cookies or scones, soft drinks, and filtered water.
For a delightful day trip, head to the Kickapoo River Valley; shop for art, antiques, handmade furniture, artisanal cheeses, or locally-grown foods at the Amish shops; or fish for trout in the Kickapoo River, the Wisconsin River's longest tributary.
Soothe your five senses on an Escape to Wisconsin's Driftless Area at a price that just, er, makes sense.
"The inn owners were attentive and very informed about things to do and places to go. They made it feel like we were friends and not just guests. The room was wonderful… beautiful and so very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent."-- TripAdvisor

Re: I've (almost) cracked Naples-style pizza...
The woman in Naples lined a deep rectangular pan with dough, then filled with a tomato mix, basil and olive oil, baked ten minutes, mozarella added and just a little more of the tomato/basil/oil mix, baked until cheese melts. I liked the trick of pre-cooking the tomatoes.

Re: I've (almost) cracked Naples-style pizza...
I don't know if it works with pizza, but to give a wood-burning flavour to roast lamb, I use the twigs of woody herbs such as rosemary and bay, placed under the joint, which also helps the heat to circulate all round it. Obviously, for pizza, they would have to be put in a separate tray
Thanks for the thread, John. You've made me want to make pizza, too

Re: I've (almost) cracked Naples-style pizza...
Hi all,
nice too see al this passion about pizza!
I am from Naples, moved to London last January.
There is just one point I don't agree with John.
You've been to Naples so you should now... we don't put oregano on the Margherita, but basil!
We only put oregano on the "Marinara" or "Napoletana"
If you want to try something different with the Bufala (much tastier when uncooked), you can cook just the plain dough and put mozzarella slices and fresh cherry tomatoes when ready.

well i ordered a few ASC 7.62x39 mags from JSE after just missing them being in stock. i figured since it is a panic on it might be months---
i was thinking last time i ordered an OOS item from them it was not but a few days --not even a week and they shipped the parts. but that was in semi normal times--
previously i had attempted to order some ASC/c-products 30 round 7.62x39 mags from CDNN --they were showing in stock # $29 each
but when i checked out i got a OOS on them--good thing cause JSE is sending some for nearly half what CDNN was getting.
got an email from JSE they shipped out today--
i am thinking there has to be more mags in the pipeline --their gonna start showing up soon.
+ 1 for JSE shipping a BO item very quickly and not gouging--!!!
hell it wasn't but a week at most--good job JSE!

'Mistake ticket' leads to win for AF man
AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho - An American Falls man is $205,000 richer after buying a jackpot-winning ticket from the Christmas Day Wild Card draw.
Robert "Peanuts" Bernal made the discovery after he returned home from family Christmas celebrations and checked all of his tickets.
"I got home and realized it was a Powerball night, so I checked all my tickets, including Wild Card using my phone," he said in a news release from the Idaho Lottery. "At first I saw that I had all the numbers for Wild Card. It wasn't until I checked it again that I realized I had the Wild Card too. I didn't think I was going to sleep at all, but I did pretty well!"
Bernal had bought a "mistake ticket" from the Jacksons store in American Falls.
The Idaho Lottery said this kind of ticket is common, usually being produced when a clerk and player miscommunicate on the type of ticket being ordered. All lottery tickets are valid at the time they are printed, but these tickets are the property of the retail store until sold to players.
"I started buying 'mistake' tickets a few years ago after I won big on an Idaho Pick3 ticket," said Bernal. "I was in the store last Wednesday, and there was a Wild Card multi-draw mistake ticket they were trying to sell, so I bought it. That was the winning ticket!"
For its part in selling the winning ticket, Jacksons gets a bonus of $20,000 from the Idaho Lottery.
Wild Card is a multi-state jackpot game played in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. Bernal's jackpot win is Idaho's 19th since the game began and third in the past 16 months.
