Final tune-up
The Rams host their second exhibition contest of the season Saturday evening at Moby Arena, playing host to the Western State Mountaineers. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. MT. The Rams are coming off an 88-48 win vs. Regis in their exhibition opener on Tuesday. Saturday's contest is CSU's final tune-up before the start of the regular season.
Looking ahead
Colorado State men's basketball will begin its 107th season, and fourth under Head Coach Tim Miles, hosting Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Nov. 13 at Moby Arena. It will be the second meeting between the Rams and Golden Lions. CSU beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 73-48, in Miles' Moby Arena debut in 2007.
About Western State
The Mountaineers are coming off a 93-61 exhibition setback Monday at Northern Colorado. After a 14-14 campaign in 2008-09, the Mountaineers' best season in school history, Western State took several steps backward in 2009-10, finishing the season just 5-21 and 2-17 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
Western State brings back a lineup that features just one of its top five scorers from the previous season: junior guard Weylan Towns (11.2 points). Towns ranked second on the team in points scored and third in field-goal percentage (.443) last season. The Mountaineers also lost their top three three-point shooters and top pair of rebounders. Senior guard Martin Graham, one of three seniors on the squad, is the top returner in rebounding with 4.0 per game during his junior season.
Head coach Mike Moskowitz returns for his fourth season at the helm of the Mountaineers' program. He is 29-52 in three seasons.
Rams vs. the Mountaineers
The Rams will take on the Mountaineers for the second consecutive season in exhibition play. Last season, Colorado State defeated Western State 64-50 in its second exhibition game. During regular-season play, the Rams are 6-3 against the Mountaineers, but the two teams haven't played each other in a regular-season matchup since 1942.
In last season's exhibition game, four Rams scored in double digits: Dorian Green (16 points), Harvey Perry (14), Andy Ogide (13) and Travis Franklin (11). Pierce Hornung also pulled down a team-high 12 rebounds in the victory.
Since 1902
The 2010-11 season marks the 107th in the history of the Colorado State men's basketball program. The Rams are 1,090-1,145 (.488) in 2,235 games all-time.
Excellent in exhibition
Head Coach Tim Miles is 7-0 in exhibition contests since taking over the reins of the CSU men's basketball program in 2007-08. In those contests, the Rams have averaged 84.1 points per contest, while holding opponents to an average of 63.7 points. The following is a list of CSU's exhibition games under Miles:

MWC preseason poll
The Colorado State men's basketball team was selected to finish fifth in the Mountain West Conference preseason media poll when the standings were released Oct. 12 at MWC men's basketball media day at the studios of The Mtn. - MountainWest Sports Network.
The fifth-place prediction marks the highest preseason ranking for the Rams since CSU came into the 2003-04 season as the predicted third-place finisher. The Rams entered that season coming off of the 2003 MWC tournament championship to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament the previous March. Below is the complete MWC preseason poll:
|School (first-place votes)
|San Diego State (21)
|New Mexico (3)
|Colorado State
|Air Force
Marquee matchups
Colorado State's 2010-11 schedule features 10 contests against teams receiving votes in the preseason national rankings. The Rams first contest against a team receiving preseason attention comes Dec. 8 at rival Colorado. The Buffaloes are receiving votes in the preseason AP top-25 poll. Then the Rams head to Kansas City, Mo., for a matchup against No. 7/7 Kansas at the Sprint Center on Dec.11. The Rams' MWC schedule features eight tilts against such opponents with two each against No. 24/RV BYU, No. 25/RV San Diego State, RV/RV UNLV, and RV/RV New Mexico.
Postseason players
Colorado State enters the 2010-11 season coming off of a postseason appearance in the 2010 College Basketball Invitational (CBI). The Rams' appearance in the CBI marked the first postseason berth for the program since the 2003 NCAA tournament. Overall, it marked CSU's 15th postseason appearance.
CSU was one of five teams from the Mountain West Conference to make postseason play in 2010. New Mexico, BYU, UNLV and San Diego State all made the field of 65 for the NCAA tournament, marking the first time in MWC history that four teams competed for the national title. Colorado State was the only other team to continue its season.
CBI the first step
When Colorado State Head Coach Tim Miles came to CSU three seasons ago, he clearly stated his goals for the program were to compete in postseason competition and win when they got there. With last season's announcement that the team had accepted a bid to the CBI, the Rams took the first step toward becoming a perennial postseason contender.
Of the 16 teams to compete in the CBI in 2009, nine of those programs went on to compete in either the NCAA or National Invitation tournaments in 2010.
UTEP (C-USA/at-large), Richmond (A-10/at-large), Vermont (America East/automatic) and Houston (C-USA/automatic) each earned berths in the NCAA field of 65 in 2010-11.
Northeastern, Wichita State, Troy, St. John's and Nevada all competed in the NIT.
In addition, three teams that played in the inaugural CBI in 2008 went on to earn NCAA or NIT postseason berths in 2009. Utah (MWC/automatic) and Washington (Pac-10/at-large) played in the NCAA tourney, while Tulsa participated in the NIT.
Improved RPI
Colorado State closed the 2009-10 season with an NCAA RPI of 132, which ranked fifth in the MWC behind New Mexico (14), BYU (24), San Diego State (25) and UNLV (50), and ahead of Utah (165), TCU (191), Wyoming (230), and Air Force (247).
Under Head Coach Tim Miles' watch, the Rams' RPI has steadily improved. In Miles' first season, CSU closed the year at No. 273, and improved to 217th following the 2008-09 campaign. Factoring in last season's 132 final RPI, the Rams have improved by an average of nearly 71 spots in each of the last two seasons.
Returning production
The Colorado State men's basketball team enters the 2010-11 season returning nearly all of its production from the previous season. The Rams return their top five leading scorers - Dorian Green (11.8 ppg.), Andy Ogide (11.7 ppg.), Travis Franklin (10.5 ppg.), Adam Nigon (8.7 ppg.), and Greg Smith (7.1 ppg.) - and their top six rebounders - Ogide (6.5 rpg.), Franklin (5.0 rpg.), Pierce Hornung (4.2 rpg.), Smith (3.8 rpg.), Nigon (2.9 rpg.), and Green (2.4 rpg.). Below is a list of CSU's returning production in major statistical categories.

Miles garners postseason honor
Head Coach Tim Miles garnered postseason honors to close the 2009-10 season when he was honored March 9 as the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year by CollegeInsider.com.
Miles, who took over the program in 2007, took the Rams from seven wins in his first season and nine wins in Year 2, to 16 victories in 2009-10.
Miles also guided the Rams to their best record (7-9) and finish (fifth) in the Mountain West Conference since the league's inaugural campaign, 1999-2000, and led the team to its first postseason appearance in seven seasons.
Ogide returns after pair of postseason honors
Colorado State's Andy Ogide returns in 2010-11 after being selected as a member of the Mountain West all-conference second team and earning NABC second-team all-district honors to close out the 2009-10 season.
A native of Marietta, Ga., Ogide paced Colorado State in scoring and rebounding, averaging 12.3 points and 7.2 boards per game in Mountain West Conference action. He finished the season as one of just three players in the conference, along with league Player of the Year Darrington Hobson (New Mexico) and Freshman of the Year Kawhi Leonard (San Diego State) to average more than 12 points and seven rebounds per game in league games. Both Hobson and Leonard were selected to the first team. Hobson went on to be selected with the 37th overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
Ogide became the Rams' first second-team all-MWC selection since guard Marcus Walker in 2008, and the first all-MWC post player for the Rams since Jason Smith was named to the first team as a junior, just three months before being drafted 20th overall by the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft.
Katz tabs Rams as team "on the rise"
The Colorado State men's basketball team garnered national attention this preseason from ESPN's Andy Katz. Katz, senior college basketball writer for ESPN.com, used his blog on the national Web site to tab the Rams as a team "on the rise" under Head Coach Tim Miles, who enters his fourth year at the helm of the CSU program. Katz says the Rams will have an opportunity in 2010-11 to crack the upper echelon of the Mountain West Conference and could be in the mix come tourney time, vying for an NCAA berth in a strong league that received four bids the year before.
Family affair
Terel Hughes and Kaipo Sabas, both juniors, joined the CSU men's basketball team as walk-ons in late October. Both are already household names among Rams fans. Both players' fathers, Eddie Hughes and Barry Sabas, donned the Green and Gold during their playing days.
Hughes' father, Eddie, was a four-time letterwinner at CSU from 1979-82, and went on the play professional basketball for the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets. During his illustrious career at CSU, he became the first Ram to ever be selected first-team all-Western Athletic Conference as a freshman. He was a three-time all-conference selection and was named to several All-America teams before being inducted to the CSU Hall of Fame. He still holds several spots in CSU's record book, including scoring (1,360 career points, seventh all-time), assists (366, sixth), field goals made (566, fifth), steals (112, fourth), steals in a game (eight, tied for first) and freshman scoring average (15.4 points, first).
Sabas' father, Barry, spent two seasons in a Rams uniform, earning second-team all-WAC honors and the 1975 WAC Newcomer of the Year award. During his junior campaign, his first at CSU, he led the Rams in scoring with 14.2 points per game. In his two-year career, the guard averaged 13.9 points and was considered "one of the best back-court men" Jim Williams, CSU basketball's all-time winningest coach, had ever coached.
Family affair, Part 2
Colorado State's roster also includes a pair of brothers from Omaha, Neb., natives Greg and Dwight Smith. Greg Smith, a sophomore forward, was a key contributor for the Rams as a true freshman in 2009-10, averaging 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 28 contests. Dwight Smith, is a true freshman for the Rams this season, and comes to the Rams as a highly touted guard. The duo, born just 15 months apart, played together at Ralston High School, where they combined to lead the Rams to a Nebraska Class B state championship in 2009.

Charles LiMandri was introduced to St. Thomas More's thought in an unexpected way as a young man.
Now he's in the thick of California's homosexual "marriage" battle, serving as general counsel for the National Organization for Marriage, one of the key groups supporting Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that would amend California's Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. He recently spoke to correspondent Robert Kumpel.
Are you involved in any unusual cases right now?
I've been preparing for trial right now. There were four San Diego firefighters who were ordered to take part in the Gay Pride parade. It's a very interesting case, which raises some religious freedom issues. They are all Christians, and three of them were raised Catholic. For one thing, homosexuals have all the rights under the law, and we must tolerate them and let them exercise those rights. The second thing is that they get to openly promote and celebrate those rights. The third thing is: Can you make people participate who don't want to? They would have been disciplined if they didn't obey the order. One was up for battalion chief and another was up for captain, and they would have been taken off the promotion list and faced a suspension. So they're suing the city for sexual harassment. We want people to see how mean-spirited and committed to violating anyone's rights [they are] to promote their own radical agenda.
How did you decide to study and practice law?
I always wanted to be a lawyer. In kindergarten at 5 years old, I dressed up in a sport coat with a briefcase and went to career day as a lawyer. I knew that's what I wanted to do, and there was no doubt in my mind. We watched "Perry Mason" too. I was always gravitating towards the ideas and concepts and theories. I always excelled in literature, philosophy and history, always liked the idea of an orderly system of governance, which the laws are supposed to provide. Growing up, I always had to have everything in its right place, so it fit my personality.
Obviously, your faith is an important part of your life and your work. Was there ever a time when that was not the case?
Yes. I was a cradle Catholic and had the blessing of being trained and educated in Catholic orthodoxy even during the wishy-washy '70s. I wasn't exposed to anything I would consider overt heresy. I had several theology classes at USD [University of San Diego] with then Dr. [Ray] Ryland, who is now Father Ryland at the [Franciscan] University of Steubenville, and he was very solid and orthodox. Just like the law, theology always seemed very comfortable to my way of thinking. There was a natural attraction to want to know more about God.
But throughout most of high school and college, there was a bit of a disconnect between the intellectual idea and understanding of God and the practice of my faith, knowing God as a loving Father. I'm more aware now of God as a loving Father involved intricately in the details of our lives than just as a loving deity.
What changed that for you?
My marriage. Family prayer, Eucharistic devotion, the Rosary — all those things have changed my life. I make more frequent confessions and receive Communion more worthily than ever before. I don't tend to think of sin anymore as just between me and God. Those things have really grown throughout the course of my married life.
Who have been some of the influential people in your life?
When I was 11, a monsignor came in to class and told us we should see this movie, A Man for All Seasons. I remember that I didn't get to see it. But I always remembered him saying it. When I graduated at USD in 1977, it was playing at the Ken [theater]. So I went and saw it and was absolutely enamored with Thomas More — who he was and what he stood for. He blended being a brilliant lawyer into being a Catholic saint — and how he was able to fully integrate his faith into his personality and all aspects of his life. As a matter of fact, the word "integrity" comes from Thomas More. He coined it. He was the model and standard that greatly influenced my thinking and ideals of what a layperson working as a lawyer should be.
Although I didn't plan it, I ended up going to Britain to study in USD's Oxford program after seeing it. By happenstance, I arrived in England in the fall of '77, and one of the first places I went was the National Portrait Gallery, and there was a big banner on the building that read "500th Anniversary of Thomas More's Birth." They had all the paintings, all the personal artifacts and writings — everything of his that they could find, accumulated together in one place for the first time in 500 years. There was a lecture series, but it was all sold out. I asked who was the foremost scholar on Thomas More and was told it was Professor J.J. Scarisbrick, who was giving one of the lectures. So I wrote him and told him that I was an American student who was studying for one year at Oxford and would love to attend one of his lectures. Providentially, he wrote back and said that he was on sabbatical and would take me on for private tutorials.
So here I am, going from Oxford to the University of Warwick by train every two weeks, in his private study in the shadow of a medieval castle, doing essays on Thomas More. I even did an internship at the Bodleian Library, where Thomas More himself studied 500 years earlier. What would be the chances of going to Oxford — which I didn't plan to do — seeing that movie which just happened to come out because the Ken would show old movies, arriving during a phenomenal exhibition, and then getting the top Thomas More scholar in England, who I didn't know yet was a devout Catholic, taking me on and doing tutorials? It was a miraculous intervention in my life that grounded me in what God wanted for me. I can still remember sitting in the Bodleian Library thinking, "How fortunate we are to live in a time when we can take our religious freedoms for granted and never have to worry about being persecuted for our faith." That was 30 years ago, and now I'm seeing the full-on frontal assault of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular, which I don't think existed since Thomas More's day.
And now you're involved with California's battle for marriage.
And it was that very issue that Thomas More drew the line at. They were trying to determine who has the final say on what marriage is or what it should be. Is it the state or is it the Church? And that's where we're at now in California. Who could have known years ago that that's what God had in store? In 1935, when the Pope made Thomas More and John Fisher saints, it was so they would be role models for citizens on how to stand up to the face of tyranny, since that's what was happening in Germany at the time with Hitler.
Chesterton said at that time that Thomas More is more important now than any time since his death, but not nearly as important as he will be 100 years from now. That was prophetic.
So what's your role in this?
I'm the general counsel for the National Organization for Marriage, and they've been one of the key groups spearheading the battle for marriage in California, along with Protect Marriage. I'm with them because it's predominantly Catholic, and Protect Marriage is predominantly evangelical. They're all good people, and it's a pleasure to work with them, but I wanted to be aligned with well-recognized, respected Catholics because our outreach has been primarily to the Catholic community, which needs to be mobilized and invigorated in this fight, or we're not going to win it.
What about Attorney General Jerry Brown changing the language on the ballot initiative?
The liberal powers that be are doing everything they possibly can to undermine this effort. Brown changed the language to call it a "ban" because, typically, when you call something a "ban," you lose 10 percentage points at the polls. But when you call it "continuing marriage as it's always existed from the beginning of recorded history," people get it, and we're ahead. So by re-framing the issue, it does tend to hurt us. Now there have been legal challenges to that, but inasmuch as we have hostile courts, particularly at the Supreme Court level, there's no guarantee that we will win that fight. So we have to hope, pray and work hard that people understand what's really at stake — regardless of how they try to re-caption the issue. The ballot language is exactly the same as Proposition 22, which passed with 61% of the vote in 2000, which says only marriage between a man and woman is valid and recognized in California. That hasn't changed, even though they're trying to re-package the description of what it's going to accomplish.
Robert Kumpel is based in Valdosta, Georgia.

Recently I've noticed this small white bump on my dogs lip, almost like a pimple. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? She's a 1 year old, corgi/lab-type mix.
Recently I've noticed this small white bump on my dogs lip, almost like a pimple. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? She's a 1 year old, corgi/lab-type mix.
This looks like something that one of the dogs that comes to daycare where I work has. He has a large wart on his bottom lip that looks really icky and almost like a sea anenome, lmao. But my boss assures me that it's nothing serious and that it will fall off eventually. Also, the warts are contageous(I believe just to other dogs) only before they appear. Not saying that this is for sure what that is, but it looks similar.
Stumbled onto this board - lots of useful info. Dave/anyone did you ever find out what this is? I noticed our dog smacking her lips a couple of days ago and then saw her scratch her right side of her mouth and we discovered these white bumps today. She's an indoor dog and occasionally gets to romp and chase lizards in the bush on our walks so I'm not sure if she got into something. Anyway...she's eating, playing, and being her normal cute and playful self with the exception of the smacking. I will take her to the vet this week but wanted to see if anyone had any idea on what it could be. Thanks for all of your help in advance. Oh she's a lab retriever/chow mix. about 2.5 years old.
Vet said it was oral papillomatosis (sp) and that it would go away in a week or so. (it did).
I notice the same little white/pink bump on my pup's lip. I never thought it was CPV because it didn't have the "cauliflower" appearance that CPV warts are know to have. After some more research, I read that usually when there is one...there's more. So I did some peeking around my little doggies mouth and became sick to my stomach. In the inside of her top lip she had a gross cauliflower wart! AND I know exactly how she got it! The dog park! It was our first time there and I thought my puppy and 3 year old dog would love the chance to play outside and meet new friends! My 3 year lab is fine, my pup has 2 ugly warts growing in her mouth I see that there isn't a treatment which makes me nervous because I cant stand the fact that she was WARTS in her mouth and that at some point there could even be more. I love dogs and know that part of being a dog owner means dealing with this kind of stuff but my stomach won't hear of it. So, if anyone can help with the "speeding up the healing process" or how to stomach your "leper puppy" (joking) tips, that would be great![/FONT]

Your vet can likely help. While this board is helpful, it cannot replace medical advice that can be given to you by your veterinarian. I would definitely get that checked out, especially if it might be contagious.So, if anyone can help with the "speeding up the healing process" or how to stomach your "leper puppy" (joking) tips, that would be great!

Thanks Miss Mutt! I did speak to two different vets this week and both said there is little that can be done. Just like the chicken pox, the virus must run its course and die off once the immune system is strong enough to tackle it. My primary vet did offer a few suggestions..
A homeopathic pill called Thuja has been know to help. She said that since canine papilloma virus takes care of itself over time, there's really no true way of knowing if the Thuja helped...but also said that most of her clients reported success when using it.
Another suggestion- crushing the warts. This sounds really awful and gross but I guess its helps. Crushing (squeezing, really) the warts can release the virus from the wart into the blood stream. Once the the immune system detects the virus in the blood, the immune system will start to produce antibodies to attack it. Now, be careful. You're not trying to pop the wart or break it off..just give it enough of a squeeze so that the virus can get into the blood stream.
We just tried both of these methods today. Not sure if they will work but if they do, I'll be sure to share the good news! Fingers crossed

My dog has 4 of these in her mouth and on her "lips". They are SO DISGUSTING. She was on a 10 day course of Azithromycin, but nothing changed. The vet said that even veterinary dermatolgists don't necessarily agree on treatment, but that they should go away over time. It has been since July 23rd since I noticed the first one (23 days, but who's counting?). Last week I even crushed one of them (it was crunchy and disgusting). It just turned darker on one side, so I must have impacted the blood flow feeding the wart somehwat.
I guess I just need patience. But she can't go to doggie daycare while she has these, and I don't really want to take her back there anyway since that must be where she got them. But I presume that, like the measles, once you have them, you don't get them again.
And if they just spontaneously fall off, I sure hope I am aware of where it falls! Ewww, they really are vile looking. I pray they resolve themselves soon.
The one I crunched:
I know exactly how you feel. They are so disgusting! It was exactly 1 month ago that I posted my puppy wart problems and I'm glad to announce that she's been wart free for the past week. I used a homeopathic herb called Thunja Occidentals. I'm not sure if thats what took care of the warts but they were gone 7-10 days after she finished her treatment
And by the way- Lila's warts looked like they were getting worse and worse but then all of a sudden they started to look pretty worn and then within 2-3 days they were magically gone. Don't dwell on them- they'll be gone before you know it. Give it 2 weeks.

Thanks CJ. Did they just fall off or did they shrink up and fade away?
Also, how much Thunja did you give your dog per pound of weight? I may pick some up today. She still has them and they look pretty much the same, and it's been 26 days now. It seems they get grosser and grosser ((shudder))
We gave Lila 3-4 of the little thunja balls 2x a day for a few weeks. At first I wasn't sure that they were working because the warts didn't seem to change in appearance but about one week later the warts started to disappear. Lila is about 30-35 pounds (6 months) and the thunja didn't seem to have any harmful side effects. I'm not really sure how they came off but I do remember them looking deflated at one point. She probably ended up swallowing them when she was eating her food...yuck!
Uh, GO TO THE VET. I can't believe someone would see something like that on their dog and then ask the internet. VET- where they are capable of diagnosing and treating your dog, unlike the internet.

Not to mention papillomas typically show up on the feet or in/around the mouth.
Veroni.. er, saxton, if you read the rules of this forum you would see it is against them to post asking for medical advice for an animal that hasn't seen a vet. And pictures must be within a certain size. We also don't appreciate people skipping vet care in favor of asking the internet and then getting huffy about it.
You like pictures of dogs medical issues? O_o
Crazy would be going to a vet without doing a little research first! Now I know many have trustworthy vet though some of us do not. After moving I am still searching. Unless it is an emergency I will do as much research as possible before going to the vet. That is the responsible thing to do! Blindly trusting a vet is foolish. In doing so I may have ended up like the person who had the vet tell them the wart should be removed only to have more show up. By finding out what some of the causes and treatments of a lump on the lip are will help me figure out if the vet is more interested in the health of my dog or his pocket book!

Lacrosse Releases 2013 Schedule
Oct. 3, 2012
CINCINNATI – Three NCAA Tournament qualifiers and national runner-up Syracuse highlight the 2013 University of Cincinnati lacrosse schedule, announced today by first-year head coach Gina Oliver.
"We are really excited about preparing for our upcoming season," said Oliver. "We have a challenging non conference schedule that I believe will help prepare us for BIG EAST play. Our goal is to compete and get better every day and an early season non conference matchup against defending Mountain Pacific Sports Federation champion Oregon will definitely give us an early read on where we are as a team."
UC will host seven home games this spring, including BIG EAST Conference contests against NCAA Tournament participant Notre Dame, as well as fellow BIG EAST foes Villanova and Rutgers.
Cincinnati opens its campaign on the road with a visit to Conway, S.C. to face Coastal Carolina (Feb. 15), followed by a trip out west to take on 2012 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation champion Oregon (Feb. 24).
The Bearcats will welcome Niagara on March 5 for their home opener, followed by a trip to New Rochelle, N.Y. to battle Liberty on March 9.
Home contests against Liberty (March 14) and Presbyterian (March 17) lead up to the opening of BIG EAST play at Georgetown on March 22. League play continues with a tilt against Loyola (MD), winners of the 2012 BIG EAST Championships, on March 24.
UC welcomes Marquette on April 5 for their first home BIG EAST match, followed by a trio of road contests against Connecticut (April 12), 2012 BIG EAST regular season champion Syracuse (April 15) and longtime rival Louisville (April 20).
The Bearcats close regular season play with home tilts against Villanova (April 26) and Rutgers (April 28).
The 2013 BIG EAST Championships begin on May 2, lasting through May 4.
Head coach Gina Oliver will begin her first season as head coach of the Bearcats after five seasons as an assistant coach at Duquesne University. Oliver's squad features veteran returnees in attacker Marissa Pierson, who led the team last season with 28 goals, and goalkeeper Jennifer Walsh, who started all 16 matches in 2012. UC also returns sophomore midfielder Megan Bell who notched 21 goals as a freshman.

Hello from Indiana!
Hello from Indiana where it is cold and snow covered. I have a Heil 7000 high efficiency gas furnace which is about 14 years old and leaks water from the PVC exhaust pipe. There is a cuplike device in the PVC exhaust pipe which loads up with water and overflows its brim causing water to run down onto the floor. It is a nuisance to have water on the floor around the furnace area.
is it normal for this cuplike device in the exhaust to fill up with water and overflow continuously? a furnace man came out to look at it and he took the PVC exhaust pipe apart to clean it---he rinsed it out thoroughly in our utility tub. He said he could hear a float inside it and thought that was stuck causing the water to accumulate inside. After he cleaned it out, he reassembled the exhaust pipe onto the furnace but it continues to spill water down onto the floor. I don't understand why that cuplike device in the PVC exhaust pipe continues to overload with water. The furnace man said there shouldn't be that much water in it.
the Heil furnace model is NUGK100DH11 (Laverne TN)
what is the best solution for this problem?
can you post a photo?
here are some photos
No that is not normal, the condensate trap is plugged, but on the plus side at least the drain is right directly below the trap to catch the overflow.
after the furnace service guy glued the PVC exhaust pipe yesterday afternoon, the floor now has less water and there is no water building up inside the cuplike joint on the furnace exhaust pipe. I took 3 more photos this morning.
why are there screws holding the coupling on , that is an exhaust pipe, this will give the possibly to having exhaust gases leak into the house and possibly even moisture
I'm a little confused of "exhaust pipe" explanation as well. Can you please confirm if the PVC pipe in question is an exhaust pipe or a furnace "intake" pipe.
If wondering, I have a "condensation / water trap" on my gas furnance PVC "intake" pipe and its exhaust pipe goes directly outside. And as per code, the exhaust PVC pipe (to push burt gas fumes outside) has a 1/4 drop for every 2 feet. Thus, any condensation that may build up in its exhaust pipe flows outside.
For my gas furnance "intake pipe", it is normal to get "natural" condensation inside its PVC pipe. Think of a warm pipe inside your basement. The furance sucks fresh (cold air) from outside - down this long pipe. When the cold air flows down this warm PVC pipe, condensation will naturally appear. Same reason why a person's eye glasses gets condensation when walking from cold outside into warm indoors. Its my understanding that all gas furnace "fresh air intake" pipes have a condensation trap - to stop the water from entering into the gas burning chamber.
To view the condensation trap on my gas furnance system, surf:
Note: The little black pipe goes down a small hole in our cement floor (which can't be seen in these pictures). Same downward drain concept as the formal water drain grill on your basement floor.
If you are unable to get your gas furnance water trap to work properly, perhaps the same "loop pipe" will work on your furance as well. My furnance has loved this loop pipe system (same concept used under sinks) for over 13 years.
Long story short... Your furnance needs a properly working "condensation trap" on its air intake PVC pipe. Definate must...
Hope this helps as well...
I know this has nothing to do with what your post is about but, I haven't worked anywhere that by code you could mix pvc and abs pipe as your piping does. Yes they make a special cement for that but, it isn't allowed by code in places I have pulled permits. The big issue with your type installation is the difference in expansion and contraction of the two materials, causing the joints to work apart. As for the trap being like a sink, that is an "S" trap and not code approved for sinks any longer either.
Yes. The piping under a sink is an "S" shape. And the water trap on my gas furnace is a "loop piping" shape. You are correct is describing that physically, each piping is different. Very obvious to anyone who looks at each. However, the concept that water laying in a lower gravity position to stop "air flow" coming upward is the same laws of physics. Its a self contained NON-Mechanical trap in which the water is the lower gravity position acts as its own valve. One way valve for low pressure backfeed situations. Same "water level is its own valve" concept that is found under a sink - even though one is an "S" pipe and the other is a complete circle pipe.
My gas furnace install was installed my a licensed gas installer and passed local building inspection. And if wondering, the white pipe isn't glued into the black pipe. The white pipe coupler screws into special coupling - into the black pipe. Its pressure fitted. Thus, no glue involved (in that specific joint).
For IrishKing (the original poster), please post a few "condensation / water traps" that might work on his gas furnace - as if installed by you. The water traps that you are most confortable with. After all, we're all here to share ideas for the original poster - to help with his situation. Being a professional HVAC installer, hoping you can share several different water trap brands (via URL links) that Irishking might use instead.
Not to bust balls but you keep avoiding the question of the original poster...
What condensation trap do you install? Show us the pictures or URL. If the original poster has lost faith in their current trap, they can purchase/install the brand you use. Its a very easy question to answer (for the original poster).
Being a licensed master, this should be a very easy question for you.
I install the trap that is brand specific for the unit that I'm installing, you can't just install any trap at random. Each manufacturer has a different design. I do however always install a tee close as possible to the furnace and install a trap made on the job from poly tubing to catch any condensation coming back through the flue piping rather than have it run back through the fan housing.
Hey bigMikeB,
Based on your feedback, I did some "pocking around" the net. Was trying to find a picture of the RUUD 90 Plus furnance and its "factory supplied" condensation / water trap design. Thus, determine if my previous gas installer used the proper water trap - that came in the RUUD furnace box. As far as I know, they install what comes in their factory furnace boxes as well.
When my gas furnace was installed 14 years ago, it was installed with 2" ABS 181.1 piping and it was signed off a "passed" by Consumers Gas. Still got the sticker on the side of the furnance to prove it. At that time, ABS 181.1 - 2" black pipe was code (in my area). A few moments ago, I discovered ABS 181.1 is no longer used. Installers like to use a special pipe - that is even better then normal white PVC pipe. Something about a new ULC S636 level pipe. For more details, surf: http://www.ipexinc.com/Content/EN_CA..._System636.asp
Looks like I'll be calling my local building inspector (who I know by first name basis) to inquire if this new piping is for "going forward", or mandatory replacement on all previous installs as well.
Based on your masters certifcation, does this new "piping standard" apply to your region as well?
636 pipe
as to your question on whether or not that pipe is going ahead, YES it is, that is the only legal pipe allowed on gas appliance that requires a plastic venting, this is in canada and i am sure it is a matter of time before it goes into effect everywhere
this pipe is much denser and requires a special glue as well reaming all joints, it is just a change that we made and it works great, we have found that we dont have drainage issues with them, like we did with black abs, even if it sloped properly it will still warp from the heat overtime and it will not crack, so this new vent system is a very good thing that they have come out with and i would recommend anyone thinking about to try it, in the long term your customers will be happier because there will be less issues with the venting in the long term
No, NJ doesn't require it yet. I wish they did. The most common problem I see with installations in this area is improper venting. Not enough hangers, wrong pitch, improper termination, wrong termination spot. I was at a house last week where the installer ran the vent piping for two furnaces and a water heater into a storage room. And the utility room has no combustion air intake at all.
My company chooses venting material by the vent temp, we use sch 80 pvc, cpvc, ultra vent, b-vent, or stainless depending on installed equipment.

Ants - Tiny creatures with a primitive brain no larger than that of a psychic-hotline caller.
- Comedian Dave Barry
Several years ago I was storming around the house, getting madder by the minute. Finally I looked up at Cindy and said, "My gosh, these dang pesky critters are everywhere! Where do they come from? How do we get rid of them?"
She looked up from her crossword puzzle and said, "You mean the ants?"
"No, the kids. I can handle the ants."
Dear editor,
I was glad to see that Judge Settles, Greg Simms and Washington County Fiscal Court removed the iron gates and made needed repairs to the old steel bridge in the Fredericktown community.
Dear Editor,
On Tuesday, April 14, 2015 thousands of women from across the United States joined together in a national day of action against unfair pay called Equal Pay Day. April is symbolic of the point into the new year that a woman must work in order to earn the wages paid to a man in the previous year. On a national level, women are paid only 78 cents for every dollar a man is paid, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So, because women earn less, we must work longer for the same pay.
At last, here's some good news from the wide world of news. This one comes from Stony Brook University and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
Researchers there have concluded that age measurements that have traditionally categorized people as "elderly" or "old" at a certain age (usually 65) are no longer valid and must adjust accordingly.
I'm 57 now and a proud AARP card-carrying member of the noble senior citizen ranks of The United States of America.
But I wasn't always this old.
Yes sir, I remember when I was graduating from Washington County High School as a member of the class of 1975.
"Why did you turn the TV off? There's still a few seconds left in the game," I asked my son, Dave.
"It's over. I don't watch the other team celebrate."
I didn't argue. I felt the same way.
It's not fun when your team loses, especially when they get so close to the championship game and an undefeated season.
Losses like that are disappointing. Before drifting off to sleep I thought, "If only they had…"
Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
- Vivian Komori
You know, I love small town life.
In some ways, being in Washington County is like "The Andy Griffith Show" that was first broadcast 55 years ago. It centers on the fictional small town called "Mayberry" and all of its quirky citizens, with all their humorous problems.
It was very popular in its day and ran for eight years. It has been in reruns ever since.
So what made this show so good?
Hearing laughter from one of the rooms where a Bible study class was meeting Sunday morning, I cracked opened the door and teased, "What's this, laughter in church?"
They answered with more laughter.
And why not laugh in church? There certainly is a time for being quiet and even for sadness. As the author of Ecclesiastes wrote, "There is an appointed time for everything…" including, "a time to cry and a time to laugh."

Developing a successful business model is no easy game
Commercial Feature
Welcome to the world of Jellyflug — the latest computer game about to hit the mobile gaming world with a splash!
Play as Grash the microbe, as he traverses the vast world of microorganisms. Everyday human actions change everything in this world of Jellyflug. Sail through rivers of soapy water left by humans; defend yourself from masses of other microbes out to devour you and team up with friendly microbes to overcome the obstacles as you confront the dangers of the human household.
Troll Inc. is a video game studio based in NORIBIC's Digital Media Works incubation centre at the North West Regional College in Derry.
The team, led by CEO Jim Murray, is a young and enthusiastic team of game developers who have banded together in the hopes of creating unique experiences for the gamers and non-gamers across the world. Creating their debut title, 'Jellyflug', the team is aiming for it to be the first of many success stories.
However, as Jim commented: "We are all into game development. But we want Troll Inc. to become a successful and sustainable business. We realised early on that we needed support to help us achieve that ambition."
As part of the iFactory programme, Troll Inc. received mentorship and support from NORIBIC and business professionals sourced in the local area.
Jim added: "We thought 'build it and they will buy it'. However, iFactory helped us realise that we need a robust approach to marketing and we are exploring with NORIBIC support an online marketing strategy to build up interest and anticipation in our new game.
"We have also received assistance towards developing a professional business plan. This support helped win the award for the best new business start-up at the Enterprising Derry awards and a highly commended award from the InterTradeIreland All Island Seedcorn competition.
"With iFactory's support, we've been awarded £5,000 from the Fast Forward Business Awards, and grant funding to fund a future games concept from E-Synergy of £37,000, both of which owe a lot to the mentoring we've received.
"By getting support from professional mentors, we can address our business weaknesses identified in our Innovation Action plan developed with the help of our Innovation Agent."
Dr Bernard Toal, CEO NORIBIC, said: "Small knowledge-based businesses like Troll will become the bedrock of the next generation economy. These guys want to be in control of their own destiny by turning their creative ideas into reality. We are helping them up their business learning curve, introducing them to new marketing techniques and assisting them to realise their potential as a successful and sustainable mobile games developer."

The Soros Lectures: At the Central European University
Five lectures George Soros recently delivered at the Central European University in Budapest - which he founded in 1991 - distill a lifetime of thinking on finance, capitalism and open society In a series of lectures delivered at the Central European University in October 2009, George Soros provided a broad overview of his thoughts on economics and politics. The lectures are the culmination of a lifetime of practical and philosophical reflection. In the first and second lecture, Soros discusses his general theory of reflexivity and its application to financial markets, providing insight into the recent financial crisis. The third and fourth lectures examine the concept of open society, which has guided Soros' global philanthropy, as well as the potential for conflict between capitalism and open society. The closing lecture focuses on the way ahead, closely examining the increasingly important economic and political role that China will play in the future. "The Budapest Lectures" presents these five seminal talks into one volume, which offers a condensed and highly readable summary of Soros' world view.

The University of Maryland is home to a high-volume liver transplant program, changing the lives of patients with the most advanced cases liver failure through living and deceased donor transplants.
Here are a few of our patients and their stories.
Living Donor Liver Transplants | Traditional Liver Transplants
Sudden symptoms prompted a visit to the doctor's office, where Jay was diagnosed with end-stage organ failure and told he was in need of a life-saving transplant. After reaching out to family and friends, Jay found his living donor. One year later, he lit the stage for the Everyman Theatre's Under the Skin, a play about organ transplant.
When Brian learned he had Hepatitis C that would eventually lead to liver failure, he thought transplant was an option years away. When his health deteriorated even more, his son stepped up to be his living donor.
Bharat's liver began failing and the Patel family became consumed with his care. Determined to take better care of himself, Bharat made significant lifestyle changes, which inspired youngest son Nikunj to get tested as a potential match for living liver donation.
April always said she "didn't want to be an organ donor." But watching her "uncle Charles" wait for a deceased donor liver transplant inspired a change of heart, and she soon signed up to give a piece of herself to her beloved friend.
After a year of waiting for a deceased donor, Christina (who suffered from end-stage liver disease) learned about living donation from her doctors at UMMC. Without hesitation, her son Costen stepped up to be her living donor.
Kathleen was initially wary about putting her loved ones' health at risk with a living donation, but with help of the UMMC Liver Center transplant team and her supportive family, she accepted a portion of her brother's liver and has been living life to the fullest ever since.
After begin disqualified for a liver transplant in his home state of Florida, Thomas learned about the University of Maryland Medical Center online. He scheduled an eVisit from the comfort of his home before making the trip to Baltimore for liver dialysis and eventually a transplant.
Helen thought she was on the road to recovery after receiving a kidney transplant at UMMC, but her cystic liver was still getting in her way. Dr. Rolf Barth found a liver for Helen's transplant that had been rejected by 60 other transplant centers, and it's still going strong.
Doug sustained severe heatstroke during a triathlon and soon went into organ failure. Doctors at three UMMS hospitals worked together to ensure his survival, and Doug received a life-saving liver transplant.
After being treated for liver cancer, Thomas was deactivated from the transplant list at his local transplant center in M.A. After learning about double-listing, he scheduled an eVisit with the UMMC transplant team, and flew to Baltimore for a transplant less than a month later.
Carolyn didn't think that having a child would be feasible after having a liver transplant. But when she found out she was pregnant, her UMMC hepatologist and obstetrician worked closely to monitor her health and optimize her immunosuppressant medications for the health of the fetus. With attentive treatment, baby Christian was born healthy and happy!
Nate, a patient with a rare and often deadly form of bile duct cancer, received a liver transplant with help from the multidisciplinary team at UMMC's Liver Center.
Acute liver failure (also known as fulminant liver failure) crept up on Christine, who showed no symptoms of the disease. On the brink of death, the UMMC transplant team worked quickly to put her on the regional waiting list and transplant the organ within hours.
Gene Cassidy, a Baltimore police officer who was blinded in the line of duty, has cheated death twice -- once when he was shot in the line of duty in 1987, resulting in permanent blindness, and a second time when he nearly died in 2012 of end-stage cirrhosis caused by the hepatitis C virus. In need of a liver transplant, Gene came to the transplant experts at UMMC.


text: Posted on October 11, 2012 by ELocal One of the most important appliances a business can own is a paper shredder. Whether providing a personal shredder for your employees or hiring a professional paper shredding service, ensuring a document has been destroyed is essential to retaining confidentiality of important information. As a small business, document shredding is important for the protection of your client and for your business itself.Businesses receive confidential customer information every day, which must be properly handled and disposed of to retain client-confidentiality. Healthcare facilities and financial firms especially are required to follow standards and regulations for handling document shredding on a regular basis. The main reason for this is to protect individuals from identity theft, which is currently a multi-billion industry and can occur when even just one or two pieces of personal information are not properly destroyed.By following these regulations for medical or legal document shredding, business can also protect themselves from liability or fraud. Implementing shredding devices throughout an office or hiring a professional shredding service can save businesses from millions of dollars in fines or other penalties. Sensitive information, whether business materials or personal client information, must be handled with care and properly destroyed to prevent any risk of exposing confidential information. clear

Samsung's Galaxy Nexus The First Android Ice Cream Sandwich Phone
Google's next iteration of its mobile operating system has officially been dubbed Android 4.0 and it will be available for the first time on Samsung's new Galaxy Nexus smartphone.
The two companies lifted the curtain on the OS affectionately known as Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus smartphone that will be the first to run it in Hong Kong late Tuesday evening (promotional video below). Google said Android 4.0 would be immediately available to developers. Samsung will begin shipping the Galaxy Nexus worldwide in November.
Here's a breakdown of what's new with Android 4.0:
The Taiwanese smartphone and tablet maker said the new Android OS (the first that Google has designed for both smartphones and tablets) will arrive on eight devices in 2012: ,Sensation, Sensation XL, Sensation XE, Evo 3D, Evo Design 4G.
Could Ice Cream Sandwich arrive for more HTC smartphones and maybe even a tablet or two? That'd be a big maybe, the company said.
"We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich," HTC said on Facebook.
HTC answered this question by announcing on Monday on its page that it will release eight devices in 2012 with the Android Ice Cream already installed. HTC identified the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL and HTC Sensation XE, as well as the HTC Rezound, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Amaze 4G that will receive the upgrade.
HTC had announced earlier that the new Beats Audio-integrated Rezound will come Ice Cream Sandwich-ready, meaning the phone won't ship with Ice Cream Sandwich but will be ready for an early 2012 update.
"We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich," HTC wrote in its page. Buyers should also be aware that their carriers could have different release dates for an Ice Cream Sandwich update than the phone manufacturer.

Other Android phones are also confirming the Ice Cream Sandwich update for their smartphones. Motorola has confirmed through a tweet that its Droid Razr, Droid Bionic and Xoom tablets will get the Ice Cream Sandwich six weeks after the ICS six weeks after Google makes it public.
Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus will both get the Ice Cream Sandwich update. In fact Galaxy Nexus will debut the new Android OS when it debuts sometime in November.
Ericsson has confirmed on its Netherlands Divisions Facebook page that its 2011 Xperia smartphone lineup will get the Ice Cream Sandwich, but there is no news when that will happen. LG has also confirmed that it will update its Optimus 2X smartphone to an Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
"LG is currently in the process of planning the ICS OS update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG high-end smartphones. Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG," LG wrote in its official Facebook page.
Introducing Android Beam. Ice Cream Sandwich leverages near-field communications (NFC) tech to enable you to share contacts, maps, apps, websites, directions, and YouTube videos with other smartphone owners simply by holding two Android 4.0 phones close to each other.
The power of speech. Siri isn't the only game in town. You'll be able to speak into the Galaxy Nexus and other Android 4.0 smartphones ASUS 70-N8G4B1001 battery and type emails, SMS messages, and more with your voice with the text immediately appearing on the screen in front of you.
A keyboard boost. Google says it's built a more accurate keyboard with Ice Cream Sandwich, while improving error correction and the cut, copy, and paste facility, and adding an in-line spell checker to the OS.
A "total Android makeover." Google says the look and feel of Android 4.0 was inspired by big, bold magazine design, with layouts that use big pictures that "suck you into the content" rather than blocks of tests and ugly lists. The OS, which is geared towards both smartphones and tablets, eliminates hardware buttons in favor of adaptable software buttons. Some ways that the new-look Android gives users a smoother ride include notifications that add pictures of the people you're communicating with, more intuitive folder management that allows widgets and folders to be resized easily, and dragged and dropped where needed, and a new homepage icon that accesses recently used apps.
A new lockscreen. Ice Cream Sandwich is ditching passwords for facial recognition technology to unlock phones. Unfortunately for Google, this particular feature failed badly during Tuesday's Hong Kong demo. The new Face Unlock feature did manage to lock out a non-owner of the demo phone, but somewhat comically, it wouldn't let the legitimate owner in either.
Google has done a couple of other things with its lockscreen and homepage with Android 4.0. You can now swipe a locked phone directly to the camera function and begin taking pictures from your smartphone immediately. Android 4.0 also features some pretty cool screensaver art for the homepage and a new San Serif typeface built just for Ice Cream Sandwich called Roboto.
Speaking of the camera Just as Apple offers quicker photo snapping on the new iPhone 4S, Google's upped the ante with Android 4.0 to provide ASUS 70-NDA1B1000 battery shutterbugs with "insanely fast" multiple shot-taking capabilities. And Ice Cream Sandwich has got a slick new photo editor chock-full of "hipster filters," according to the search giant.
Earlier this month, we brought you our on the 5th, as it was revealed at Apple's Let's Talk iPhone event in Cupertino, California. While Apple did come up with a solid operating system with new features, most of those 'new' features were playing catch-up with Android, Cydia tweaks and functionality already possible with third-party apps. From what we have just seen in Ice Cream Sandwich, it seems Apple will now have a LOT more to catch up with. See for yourself in the complete video coverage of the event. Note that it is nearly an hour long video so if you just want to get down to the details, read on for our full review.

LC9 — DeSantis Holster
This is a discussion on LC9 holster desired within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Just purchased the Ruger LC9 and am looking for a quality leather holster....did purchase a nylon holster with thumb release strap that goes over the ...
Just purchased the Ruger LC9 and am looking for a quality leather holster....did purchase a nylon holster with thumb release strap that goes over the top of the gun but really don't like it...there is not much to grab onto as the LC9 rides deep in this holster....any body else got a LC9 with a good holster......thanks
I need some suggestions
After buying quite a few expensive holsters, I now have Remora's for both of my carry guns. I have carried my LC9 in a Remora for about a year now. While some are worried about using a holster with no belt clip, mine has stayed in place while squatting down and lifting large stones and moving them around the yard as well as crawling around under my car. I have never been able to find even one negative review of a Remora holster. If you order one, you'll probably want the Aretemis cut. Without it you will have the same problem of the gun riding too low in the holster.
"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." - Thomas Jefferson
When I got mine I got a Uncle Mikes IWB just to keep it from getting beat up in the side pocket in my truck. I started carrying it and got a Galco SOF IWB tuckable. The Galco keeps it very secure and at 3:30 strong side is really comfortable. I also carry a G17 in a CB supertuck. I take it off when I get home. The Galco is so comfortable I forget to take it off while home. Plus it was only $25 or so at my LGS. The Galco is the first I have owned with the J clips. I think I like them more than the spring clips. After reading the above post I forgot that I also have a Remora for my Sigma. It's also really good, secure, and comfortable. Just depends on your preference and how you like to carry.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato

Fat Julian Imperial Stout is getting some national exposure. Beer Advocate magazine highlights the label for Actual Brewing Co.'s big chocolate stout in its latest issue as part of the regular "Label Approval" feature.
The label (shown above) shows a woman hoisting an elephant, with a fat housecat weighing down the pachyderm. "This bittersweet imperial stout is reminiscent of leathery elephants dipped in dark chocolate," the label says.
"It's about brute strength," Mira Lee, co-founder of the Columbus brewery, told the magazine about the design. "It's such a huge, heavy, chocolaty stout, it barely fits in the mash tun, so it's the perfect foil for talking about big challenges and the rewarding aspects of hard work."
To read the full story, you'll have to find a copy of the magazine.

Farm Bill Failure
The Washington Post explains why the failure of the House farm bill is not a piece of legislation with many mourners.
The Post writes:
Now, a confluence of forces — the rise of budget-slashing tea party Republicans, a deep recession that has forced nearly one in seven Americans onto the SNAP rolls and, last but not least, a boom in the supposedly struggling farm belt — has upset the old farm bill log-rolling game. This creates new risks, chief among them that the poor's interests will be sacrificed to those of the powerful agribusiness lobby.
But there are opportunities as well: a chance to really debate this nation's outmoded and inefficient agriculture policies and maybe, just maybe, reform them.
Politico's David Rogers writes on why the House failed to pass the farm bill and three ways it can be improved.
He states:
Food aid reform is a priority for the White House and lends itself to compromise.
Crop insurance is a second front. The $13 billion amendment failed 208-217, suggesting something smaller might succeed. Forty of the 62 backed the reforms, and this was a case where splits among the conservatives were fatal. The young Republican rebels from South Carolina lined up 3-1 with the crop insurance industry, for example, after all the boasting of deficit cutting.
A third compromise option is to go local. A set of bipartisan amendments designed to promote smaller scale, local agriculture was blocked by the Rules Committee and never got to the floor.
Table Scraps:
New York Daily News has more on what SNAP cuts mean for hungry families.

The Supreme Court's rejection of Marc Nadon's appointment reverberated on the Quebec election campaign, getting resounding approval from all major party leaders.
Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard said the ruling was further proof that the federal system works for Quebec, and reinforces that Ottawa cannot unilaterally infringe on Quebec's legal traditions and civil law.
"It shows that there are institutions in the country that ensures that a balance is respected and recognizes the rights of provinces," Mr. Couillard said. "The courts, the Canadian mechanisms are there to settle these matters. It has been done and that is good news."
The Quebec government had long been opposed to Mr. Nadon's appointment, arguing that he lacked the expertise to properly represent the province's legal traditions on the court. Friday's ruling "proves exactly that what we defended was right and demonstrates that when Quebec stands up for itself it can succeed," Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois said. "In this case, there could have been no other decision. Mr. Harper erred when he appointed Justice Nadon."
In her reaction to the Supreme Court decision, Ms. Marois abstained from aggressively confronting the Harper government, appearing satisfied to simply underscore Quebec's gains from the decision.
Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault said the decision doesn't necessarily show that Canadian federalism automatically protects Quebec's interests – it only reinforces that the province's three judges on the bench must come from Quebec. "This has nothing to do with the way federalism works for Quebec," Mr. Legault said.

Los Angeles Drivers Reveal The Worst Celebrity DriversOctober 22, 2014
Have you ever honked your horn at someone famous – not just because they were famous, but because they ran a red light, tailgated your car or backed up without looking?
If you drive in California, your odds are better than most.
We asked the people who know best. Comparenow surveyed 1100 California drivers, of whom 46 percent live in Los Angeles, and asked them who's the worst celebrity driver.
Lindsay Lohan is the reigning queen of celebrity car accidents, with 49 percent of the votes. Lohan has a long history of bad driving; her first arrest was in May 2007, when she was just 20 years old, for DUI, cocaine possession and misdemeanor hit and run. Her next DUI arrest happened just two months later. In 2012, she pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges related to an incident in which she hit a restaurant employee while driving into the parking lot of the Dream Hotel in New York. The same year, she rear-ended a truck while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway, totaling her Porsche.
Ranking the celebrities who drive badly
The second-worst celebrity driver? Former Nickelodeon actress Amanda Bynes, who was arrested in September 2014 for DUI after stopping for a red light in the middle of an intersection. E! Online has a complete timeline of Bynes' driving woes, which include being charged with multiple DUIs, hitting a police cruiser, getting in hit-and-run accidents, having her license revoked and then driving with a suspended license.
"Anger Management" star and #tigerblood promoter Charlie Sheen didn't come close to #winning with just 10 percent of votes, tying pop star Britney Spears. Oscar-winning Director and amateur mug shot subject Mel Gibson came in fourth with 7 percent.
The rest of the pack, in order of finish, included Betty White, Shia LaBouef, Kelsey Grammer and Michael Phelps.
Celebrity drivers and auto insurance rates
Despite two DUI arrests, and a number of other brushes with the law including drug charges and license suspensions, it has been a few years since Lohan made headlines for perp walks and legal transgressions. Running the 28-year-old New York native through the comparenow auto insurance quote generator with all the information we have at our disposal – we put her home as California and not London where's she's currently living while starring in a play – Lohan would not only qualify for insurance, but she would receive a relatively attract rate. Through Infinity Auto Insurance, Lohan could receive California state minimum insurance for $1,294 annually, or about $112 a month.
The rate could be even better for Olympian Michael Phelps, who finished last in the poll – a case where finishing at the bottom isn't necessarily bad. Despite a past DUI charge, and a freshly alleged one, the 22-time medalist and Baltimore, MD native could qualify for a state minimum rate as low as $1071 annually, or $106 a month.
Celebrities Behaving Badly?
Celebrity car accidents are often attributed to being followed and harassed by the paparazzi, but that can't explain away all their bad driving. "Celebrity drivers are much worse than the average person because they are so entitled and so spoiled," L.A.-based legal expert Wendy Feldman told Fox News in 2013. "Many do nothing for themselves, but still insist on driving."
Their wealth may contribute to celebs' bad driving, as well. They can afford turbocharged sports cars like Justin Bieber's Fisker Karma, 997 Porsche Turbo and Ferrari F430, which he's been accused of driving at highway speeds through his neighborhood. And they aren't worried about paying for traffic tickets or higher insurance premiums. According to estimates from the California courts, a single DUI conviction can cost a teenager $45,000 once you factor in the costs of court fees, fines, towing, classes and, most of all, increased insurance premiums over the next 13 years. That's a lot of money for an average person, but to an A-list celebrity it's pocket change.
Of course, when it comes to managing a suspended license or having trouble finding the appropriate car insurance, celebrities often have a Plan B that's often not feasible for other California drivers: hiring a driver.
