CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007--Continued
Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I have offered an amendment to the budget resolution with Senator Biden to significantly restore funding for juvenile justice programs. Our amendment will increase funding for these programs funded by the Department of Justice by adding $380 million to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention--OJJDP--budget. The amendment accomplishes this by raising the functional total for the justice allocation by $380 million offset in function 920--which gives the Appropriations Committee the flexibility to design the exact offsets.
Let me briefly illustrate why we must put money back into these programs. Following the administration's lead, the Senate Budget Committee allocated $176 million to the OJJDP budget, which is about $167 million less than what we appropriated last year and $380 million less than the fiscal year 2002 appropriation. I am particularly disturbed that the Senate budget resolution assumes complete elimination of the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Program--JABG--which received a little less than $50 million last year. JABG provides funding for intervention programs that address the urgent needs of juveniles who have had run-ins with the law. Positive intervention and treatment at this early stage of delinquency can prevent further violent behavior and steer a young person in the right direction before it's too late.
That said, the Budget Committee seems to feel that the JABG program is ineffective. An example from my homestate of Wisconsin proves otherwise. Using Federal dollars from the JABG program, the Southern Oaks Girls School, a juvenile detention center outside of Racine, WI, built a new mental health wing to provide much-needed counseling services for the girl inmates. The administrator of this school cites a 56-percent drop in violent behavior since the new mental services have been offered. This is just one example of JABG's many successes--a record that supports keeping JABG alive and well-funded.
The same is true of title V Local Delinquency Prevention Program, the only Federal program solely dedicated to juvenile crime prevention. Title V programs include preschool and parent training programs, youth mentoring, afterschool activities, tutoring, truancy reduction, substance abuse prevention and gang prevention outreach. Nonetheless, the Senate budget assumes a 50-percent cut to title--V penny pinching now that will cost us dearly in the future. According to many experts in the field, every dollar spent on prevention saves $3 or $4 in costs attributable to juvenile crime. And who can put a dollar value on the hundreds, even thousands of young lives turned from crime and into productive work and community life by the juvenile crime prevention programs supported by title V?
The downward spiral of juvenile justice funding is a disturbing budget trend with ugly real world implications. Juvenile crime is an ongoing challenge and it is not a problem that is going to solve itself. Boosting funding for successful juvenile justice programs is the first step in addressing this challenge. Just a few short years ago in fiscal year 2002, juvenile justice programs received $556 million. Of that amount, more than $94 million went to the title V program and nearly $250 million was dedicated to JABG. We need to restore these initiatives to those robust levels and our amendment will do just that by adding $380 million to the OJJDP budget for juvenile justice programs.
We have a choice in this Congress of where we want to invest our money. We can choose to address the roots of crime and invest in our children by preventing a life of criminal behavior. We can choose to intervene in a positive manner to work with those teens that have fallen through the cracks and have had a few scrapes with the law--we can turn many of those kids around. I urge my colleagues to make the right choice this year and support our amendment which will increase funding for juvenile justice programs. We can and must do better.

Do you get annoyed by the amount of stickers OEM put on your brand-new notebook or desktop? If so, you are not alone: AMD apparently also takes issue with the practice, and is working to develop stickers which peel off cleanly. That, or scrap its sticker scheme altogether. Sounds great for the consumer, no?
Have you ever felt that your computer resembles more of a racing car, complete with various sponsors' logos, decals and whatnots, instead of a computer? If so, you are definitely not alone. After all, it seems as though OEMs have some sort of obsession for those tiny stickers which are always found on the palmrest of a notebook or at the bottom of a desktop tower.
Of course, there are some who actually like these stickers, but for others, they are nothing but eye-sores. Especially when one takes into account the fact that these stickers usually do not peel of easily: the stiff, processor stickers from AMD and Intel usually leave behind a sticky residue in their wake, while thinner stickers usually split in the process, resulting in even more mess.
Fortunately, it seems that some changes may be in store. According to a report in The New York Times, it seems that even AMD has a bone to pick with the concept of turning PCs into mini billboards, and is considering steps to allow consumers an easier time in removing the offending stickers. Measures include switching over to different stickers sometime in 2011 which can be peeled off without leaving any residue behind, and in the more drastic cases, ditching the stickers altogether.
But for now, the company has decided to make the advertising stickers optional. While that sounds great in theory, whether OEMs will take up AMD's offer remains to be seen.

A short snippet – the Windows XP version of the RM Asus minibook (also known as the Asus eeePC) was announced at BETT 2008, with availability scheduled for April.
Well the RM website is now accepting orders for them. It comes with a decent specification – 8GB of storage and 1GB of RAM – meaning that there'll be enough space for students work. People considering the original version (4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM) see that as a "browser only" device for students, whereas with Windows etc, it becomes a full-blown (albeit mini-size) student laptop.

The Philosophy of Tolkien.
From the publisher
While nothing can equal or replace the adventure in reading Tolkien's masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, Peter Kreeft says that the journey into its underlying philosophy can be another exhilarating adventure. Thus, Kreeft takes the reader on a voyage of discovery into the philosophical bones of Middle-earth. He organizes the philosophical themes in The Lord of the Rings into 50 categories, accompanied by over 1,000 references to the text of Lord. Since many of the great questions of philosophy are included in the 50-theme outline, this book can also be read as an engaging introduction to philosophy. For each of the philosophical topics in Lord, Kreeft presents tools by which they can be understood.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
start a new thread????....
title it something like "how to build a mega TQ 451 mopar street beast motor for my Dakota"....
I have never built your particular motor....
there are lots of (mopar experienced) members better qualified to help you pick a combo....
more general food for thought:
the very general rules "key" for getting the max TQ possible at the lowest rpms possible is getting max A/F velocity possible at slow piston speeds (low rpms)....
that's what the 4x4 and RV cams are all about (excellent A/F mix quality and chamber fill to make best power possible at low rpms)...
what I don't know at all is how your heads are biased for intake versus exhaust ratio which you need to consider when selecting a cam...
and using a intake with relatively small runners (like a performer) and a wee bit small cfm rated carb to help keep up the velocity does help ....
(trivia, 383 roadrunners only had about a 450cfm carb to help make TQ)
deeper gears does make a world of difference for TQ "wow" factor....
450ft-lbs x 3.55 gears = 1597 ft-lbs
450ft-lbs x 4.56 gears = 2052 ft-lbs twisting the hides=25% more acceleration force
but try to be sensible for how deep the ratio is versus how you use the truck!
your truck is heavy so deeper is better but 3.55=roughly 3,000rpms at 70mph and 4.56=4,000(? calculator not handy) at 70mph
I'd leave the 3.55's in it and gut every last extra once of weight possible out of the truck, (performance results are the same)
4000lb truck/1597ft-lbs 3.55 gears=2.5lbs of weight per ft-lb of TQ force
5000lb truck/2052ft-lbs 4.56 gears=2.5lbs of weight per ft-lb of force
(trivia: 98%? of all of the muscle cars had deep gears standard and that's why they were a blast to drive...big cubes TQ and low gears..)
build it with about a 9.3CR so you can use 87octane and full best timing for the cam (450cubes+4,000lbs="not great"mpg)
more compression does add some to the HP "at" the HP rpms peak but adds very very little at street rpms and smaller cams don't need it
drive safe, have fun
|Hiway, what crank & rods are you going to use? 440 crank & BBChevy rods?
I appreciate everyone's feedback, thank you.
RedMustang, would you suggest I go with the set up I described earlier even if it doesn't meet my goal for HP? This will be a weekend cruiser with a visit to the drag strip maybe twice a year.
just some food for thought:
unless the main major goal for the build is to hit a specific strip et and mph you can honestly ignore the HP number....
(the HP number is basically applied TQ measured over distance and time)
what makes a really fun to drive street car is all about max TQ possible available over the WHOLE rpm range....
it's the TQ rotational acceleration force that pushes you back in the seat and gives "instant" gas pedal response and wicked quick mph and rpm's increase passing somebody .....
when you build up the HP to 1HP per cube, you don't gain much more TQ (if any) and usually have alot less at street rpms due to the cam (that's why a big HP cam needs very low gears and a convertor swap, no low rpms acceleration force TQ available to move the car weight)
(very very roughly motor cubes=max TQ ft/lbs....)
with just a stock 87 octane 451cu/in motor your 450ft/lbs x 3.55 gears in high gear (1:1) = 1597ft/lbs of force available twisting the hides at roughly just 3400rpms!!!!
due to poor weight distribution in a PU it's gona be a challenge to get the tires to hook up at all in first gear (and not break lose on a wet road) with that much flywheel TQ!!!
a favorite Max Keith (a member) saying that's so true so often: "ALOT more gooder isn't necessarily more good"
I'm building a 400/400 right now with ported 915 closed chamber heads.
I don't think that stock open chamber 452's will do it. You need template porting and big valves. Modifications for valve lift will be necessary because you need as much lift as you can get. Stock rockers are fine up to .525. Most testers agree that the big valves without porting is a waste of time.
I suggest the new cams designed for Mopar lifters, roller preferred, solid roller the most preferred which requires a new valve train.
Something as mild as a Purple Shaft flat hydraulic 292/.509/108* I don't think will get you to your goal, but it is a nice street cam in 440s. (we run it in our long cross ram 440s) The LSA is most important. 112*and more sucks.
Pistons with a mild dome to fill the open chamber will be a benefit, keeping the compression about 10.0 for 91 octane.
You will also need a Performer RPM. Avoid single plane intakes.
I'd plan on keeping it under 6,000.
|You are not going to make 450 horsepower with 451 cubic inches and a cam that small.Plus you want to shift at 5500 rpm.You are going to need better heads,bigger cam,and about 6000 to 6500 rpm depending on the heads.Or just get a 440 and stroke it.Then it would be a lot easier.I don't know much about the 452's.But you will still need to look for a bigger cam IMHO.
|Yes, I already have the 452's. They were on the 400. For my 450hp goal, 452's should work fine.
|Do you already have the heads (or any of the other parts)? If not, I'd consider running either stock or the MP HD rockers, and put the money saved toward a set of aftermarket heads like the Edelbrock Performer RPMs , or the Stealth heads from 440Source (though I am personally biased against the Chinese 440Source castings).

Sometimes windy, especially in the north and west with the risk of local gales here. Temperatures are expected to stay near the seasonal average, occasionally warm in the east, but locally rather cool in the west.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 12 Jul 2017 to Wednesday 26 Jul 2017:
The changeable weather is likely to continue in the north at first, bringing further showers or longer spells of rain, especially in the north, with only brief bright or sunny spells in between, with these most likely in the south. However, drier and warmer spells are likely to become more prevalent in the south and these may spread further north as we head into the second half of July.

In 2011, AARP Foundation began a very successful pilot program in Georgia to help older people enroll in SNAP (the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), and that program soon expanded to four other states.
Related: Breaking Hunger's Grip in Georgia
Then, in 2013, AARP Foundation joined forces with the National Anti-Hunger and Opportunity Corps, a project of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger, to work with AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers and increase SNAP outreach efforts. The volunteers began educating potential SNAP enrollees in nine states and the District of Columbia. The result was 20,000 SNAP applications submitted in 2013. This year, the VISTA volunteers will be working in several additional states.
We are engaged in this effort because many are still going hungry. Given the economic slump that began in 2008, it's not surprising that so many Americans receive SNAP benefits today. As the economy declines, unemployment and poverty increase, and more people need help buying nutritious food.
See Also: Learn about the Drive to End Hunger program
From 2007 to 2010, the number of unemployed people increased by 110 percent, and SNAP had a 53 percent increase in participation. SNAP is designed so that the number of people getting help depends on economic conditions. The poor economy of the last few years caused enrollment to soar. And as the economy improves, the number of people getting SNAP will recede.
AARP Foundation supports the efforts to extend SNAP benefits to those eligible for them, and we also work to educate and enroll older people in the program. There are several reasons for our support:
1. Many people who are eligible for SNAP benefits today are not receiving them.
This includes 67 percent of struggling older people age 60 and above. This means that millions of seniors today are suffering from the debilitating effects of hunger and poor nutrition, despite the fact that most of these 67 percent paid taxes to support the program for years.
Related Report: SNAP access barriers faced by low income 50-59 year olds (PDF)
There are a number of reasons older people do not apply for SNAP. Some are too embarrassed or too proud to do so. Others think that if they receive SNAP they will be taking food benefits away from others, especially children. Some think it is too difficult to apply for SNAP, and others don't even know the program exists.
2. SNAP plays a critical role in easing the burden of poverty in the United States.
It is one of the largest parts of the social safety net. In April 2012, USDA released research showing that SNAP benefits reduce the rate, depth and severity of poverty in the United States. From 2000 to 2009, which includes the worst part of the economic downturn, SNAP benefits:
- Reduced the prevalence of poverty. SNAP benefits moved 4.4 percent of recipients out of poverty each year.
- Reduced the depth of poverty. SNAP benefits increased gross incomes of 10.3 percent of recipients between 50 percent and 100 percent of the federal poverty level annually.
- Reduced the severity of poverty. SNAP benefits moved 13.2 percent of recipients out of extreme poverty (annual incomes - $11,025 for a family of four - below half of the federal poverty line).

Miguel Diaz, cutman to the stars, is back in Rex Tso's corner
Hong Kong fighter delighted to again have the services of one of the game's best ring assistants
Miguel Diaz has been the cutman for 36 world champions, including Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jnr. He's trained nine fighters to world titles and is considered one of the sport's most articulate and knowledgeable figures.
It will be another day at the office for the 76-year-old Argentinian-born American when he works in the corner of Hong Kong's Rex Tso Sing-yu, who returns to the ring on Saturday night's "Champions of Gold" bill in Macau.
Tso received a big boost when he received confirmation the Hall of Fame trainer will work his magic again after the Hong Kong fighter was knocked down twice before winning by unanimous decision in May's "Featherweight Fury" showpiece.
Tso suffered a broken blood vessel in his nose and severely bruised hands before finally dominating Thailand's Ratchasak Kokietgym.
"I owe Miguel a lot from that fight. Miguel is a real lifesaver. I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't helped us that night," said Tso (13-0-0, 8 KOs), who takes on Indonesia's John Bajawa in a six-round, non-title bantamweight fight at the CotaiArena.
Tso weighed in at 117.5 pounds, exactly the same as his opponent.
Diaz said he was pleased his skills were appreciated and agreed to work in Tso's camp because he's a "likeable guy".
"Rex has a big future," said Diaz, who trained Erik Morales, the first Mexican to win world titles in four weight divisions. "He is a young fighter and has to learn the trade. He has such a big heart and he shows it in the ring.
"He showed a lot of character in his last fight. It was very tough for him, but he responded really well.
"If I had to give him a rating right now, I would give him 6.5 to seven out of 10. He's a good fighter," said Diaz of the 27-year-old.
"Give him another five or six fights and I think he can become world champion."
Although Diaz has a fine record as a trainer, he's probably known as the world's best cutman, having worked in Pacquiao and Mayweather's corner, among many others, including China's two-time gold medallist Zou Shiming.
"I was Mayweather's cutman for his first 17 fights," said Diaz proudly. "I was there from his very first pro fight. I even trained his father [Floyd Snr] and his uncles Roger and Jeff. Yes, four Mayweathers."
Meanwhile, an ornate custom-made belt specially designed for Zou will be in his possession if he wins tonight's main event.
"I want this belt, it's beautiful," said China's two-time Olympic gold medallist after organisers revealed the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) special elite international flyweight belt that will be put on the line.
"It's the first time I am going for a title since I turned professional more than a year ago. It's a milestone for me and I am confident I have the ability to claim this belt," said the Guizhou native, who will be looking for his fifth straight professional win.
The belt is only sanctioned for bouts that feature a fighter of elite stature. Past recipients of this honour include Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao and Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez.
Zou (4-0, 1 KO) will first have to defeat Colombia's Luis de la Rosa (23-3, 13 KOs) before he can take home the belt.
Zou weighed in at 111.5 pounds, while De la Rosa was 110.5 pounds.
Another bout tonight features two-time Cuban Olympic gold medallist Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux (13-0, 8 KOs) against Thai veteran Sod Looknongyangtoy (63-2-1, 27 KOs) for the WBA/WBA super bantamweight title.

What is coercion in php?
Coercion, type coercion or type conversion is the process of altering the data type of a variable into another data type. PHP uses implicit type conversion (aka. Weak/Loose Ty…ping) so it is not necessary to declare the type of a variable. For instance, the following will not produce any errors: You can however explicitly cast variables to a certain type: In contrast, strongly typed languages such as C/C++/Java force you to declare the type of value a variable will hold and explicitly state the new type to perform a conversion; not doing so will result in a compiler error.
What is the meaning of grave coercion?
Grave coercion is when a person forces another to commit a crime that is illegal under Penal Law. The person being forced was affected by violence, and the person forcing …had no right to do so, as it was not under the authority of law.

Distinguish between undue influence and coercion?
Coercion generally means to impose one's will on another by means of force or threats. Coercion may be accomplished through physical or psychological means. Undue influence… is a term often used in will contests to refer to outside pressures which negate the free will of the testator (will maker), so that the maker of the will lacks the necessary mental capacity for a valid will. See related link below for a more in-depth definition: Coercion (pronounced /co-er-shon/ or /koʊˈɜrʃən/) is the practice of forcing another party to behave in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats, intimidation, trickery, or some other form of pressure or force. Such actions are used as leverage, to force the victim to act in the desired way. Coercion may involve the actual infliction of physical pain/injury or psychological harm in order to enhance the credibility of a threat. The threat of further harm may lead to the cooperation or obedience of the person being coerced. Torture is one of the most extreme examples of coercion i.e. severe pain is inflicted on victims in order to extract the desired information from the tortured party Undue influence (as a term in jurisprudence) is an equitable doctrine that involves one person taking advantage of a position of power over another person. It is where free will to bargain is not possible. If undue influence is proved in a contract, in U.S. law, the contract is voidable by the innocent party, and the remedy is rescission. There are two categories to consider: Presumed undue influence Actual undue influence

Do NOT try to tan the area that will only make it worse, much worse, for much longer. Do not do more IPL or TCA or a CO2 laser! A 4% hydroquinone cream will help a ton, try Tri-luma, or Obagi Clear. Also, look into Fraxel or eMatrix... READ COMMENT

Promoting better outcomes for children and
families where a parent experiences mental illness.
Teenagers who have a parent with a mental illness can find it challenging to locate support. You might be the only adult who is in a position to encourage and support a young person to access help.
What the research tells us
It is estimated that approximately one in four children live in a family where a parent has a mental illness.
Research into the wellbeing of these children shows that access to appropriate support can improve their wellbeing and reduce the likelihood of them developing their own mental health issues.1
Read more below about:
Literature about help-seeking behaviour in adolescents often refers to helping them finding help for mental health problems. We prefer to take a broader view of 'help' as any form of support or assistance that a teenager might need related to their parent's mental illness.
This might include:
In this context, help might include informal assistance from family and friends or assistance and support from providers in mental health, education or welfare services.
The stages of help-seeking are commonly defined as:
Why it's challenging for teens
For teenagers in families where a parent has a mental illness, identifying the need for help can be especially challenging as they may perceive their own life as 'normal' and may not recognise that they have a need to seek help. The decision can also be affected by a range of concerns for both the teenager and the parent including concerns about confidentiality and stigma, and fears of the involvement by mental health or child protection services.
Service providers need to be aware that an initial request for help can be a particularly vulnerable moment for the teenager. The response they receive will often determine whether they continue to seek help and whether the help is accepted or not.
Accessing help is also often based on the willingness of the parent to allow and support their child's efforts, as well as practicalities such as eligibility for services, location, transport and cost.
The 'Continuum of need'
Considering the degrees of the need for help can be a useful way to think about help-seeking by teenagers so that you can provide the right support at the right time.3
The answer is - YES!
Numerous policy documents highlight that promoting mental health and the safety of children is everyone's responsibility. Children of parents with a mental illness may have limited contact with adults who can facilitate and encourage them to connect with support services, meaning they may not identify or seek help until they reach crisis point.
Parents who have a mental illness say that support for their parenting and their family is a vital part of their recovery process therefore by helping their children you will also be helping your client and their whole family to be well.
Many adolescents who have a parent with a mental illness have a strong urge to talk to someone about their situation but at the same time fear rejection, stigma and ridicule if they talk to friends, family or teachers. Seeking help may feel like an admission of weakness or a betrayal of their 'family business'. They worry that by engaging with services they may be seen as different or their 'secret' might be revealed to others outside their family.
Working with parents in a mental health setting gives you a unique opportunity to assist teenagers to seek help.
You can make your service an entry point for help-seeking by young people who are otherwise isolated and help parents learn how they can facilitate help-seeking by their children.
What about confidentiality?
Service providers may be unsure whether sharing information with their client's children breaches confidentiality policies. Teenagers are also reluctant to seek help unless they can be certain that conversations will be kept confidential and some may prefer for their parents to not be informed.
Parents may have their own fears, including concerns that talking with health professionals may result in notification to child protection services. This is a challenging area as families may have had previous negative experiences that reinforce their fears and there will be situations when it is necessary to make a report.
You can help build trust and confidence by:

Leon stopped at the guardhouse, which was crawling with prison guards and anxious security personnel.
I like to smoke a cigar, but a lady who smells like a guardhouse isn't at all agreeable.
Thus, by forcing their way into the guardhouse, the friars, brought him into the city.
He expected that the gates would be opened at once, but they remained locked while the patrol went into the guardhouse to report.
He brought out the pistol he'd taken off the captain in the guardhouse.
With that scene in the guardhouse to look back on, what might he not dare to hope.
She will be overhauled and challenged by the first sentry near the guardhouse, below the wall.
The other three sides of the guardhouse appeared to be unwatched.
And presently, of course, Sergeant Bellews was let out of the guardhouse.
Well, will you get up and go to the guardhouse, or have we to carry you there?

Unless you live in California, you may not have heard the announcement today that the state is currently facing a $16 billion shortfall in revenues for the next fiscal year. Tax revenues fell short of rosy politically motivated estimates, and spending has increased above expectations. The budget deadline is in June, and several of the Governor's proposals to cut spending have been thwarted by fellow Democrats in the state legislature, while proposals to increase taxes have been lampooned by Republicans and money flowing in from right wing groups. A similar story is playing out across this great land of ours. The failure of the people to accept tax increases, corporate defiance to invest capital, government's rejection of job training efforts, and the petulant reluctance of the Congress to step in and buoy state coffers is causing massive layoffs and reductions in public services.
Unlike the New Deal programs that followed the Great Depression, during this period of extreme economic trauma, both the federal government and the states have instead reacted to shrinking tax revenues and mass unemployment by shrinking government programs and firing workers. At the federal level, the appetite for renewed borrowing to fund programs, assist states, and help the middle class and the poor is minuscule. At the state level, due to requirements of budgetary balance, massive layoffs have accompanied drastic cuts in public services. Parks have closed. Hospitals have closed. Transportation, improvement, and infrastructure projects have been canceled altogether or have been substituted with patchwork fixes and band-aid repairs. Public sentiment is perceived by Washington to favor deep cuts and curtailments in borrowing and spending. Not only is Washington wrong on the policy, it is wrong on its taking of the pulse of Americans.
It was recently revealed that another 15,000 public sector jobs were lost in April 2012. Since the depression began in 2008, the public sector has lost–conservatively–more than 600,000 jobs. 600,000 folks who once provided you with the services that you took for granted as a birthright. People who educated your children, removed your trash, maintained your public spaces, filed your deed transfers, inspected your homes, monitored clean air and clean water standards, and on and on. Democrats and Republicans each favor varying degrees of continued austerity, with Democrats favoring small tax increases on the wealthy and corporations, and fewer cuts to government programs, and Republicans favoring huge tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, with massive cuts to spending, defense outlays left untouched.
To listen to stump speeches and congressional soliloquies, one might come away with the impression that the public favors some mixture of the two approaches, with wide agreement that taxes should be kept in check and government spending cuts imperative. The data suggests that neither side is properly reflecting the position of the vast majority of Americans. For example, 56% of Americans believe that higher taxes and increased spending is needed to remedy our faltering economy. 68% of Americans believe that the current tax system benefits the wealthy at the expense of the rest of us, and a majority of Americans would be willing to pay more taxes to maintain Social Security and Medicare, as well as government programs that assist the poor.
As stimulus monies run dry, it is nearly impossible to open a local paper anywhere in the nation and not find a story or two concerning budget shortfalls and potential layoffs. School Board meetings far and wide have become contentious events. Property owners have been asked to pay more to support local schools, yet staff reductions and benefit give-backs remain unavoidable. Teachers are slated to be laid off, municipal services are being scaled back, and programs that offer help to young children and the poor are being eliminated altogether. State programs to offer incentives to people to install energy reducing technologies are being dispensed with, and along with the incentives, the jobs of those who install solar panels, geothermal systems, and energy efficient building materials and upgrades are lost. With each unnecessary cut, the ripple effects are felt beyond the public sector.
With budget cuts to education, we are destroying our own future. Enrollment is down at some of our most prestigious public university systems in response to higher out-of-pocket costs and staffing restrictions. At a time when technical education is becoming the very key to obtaining a good paying job, we are making it increasingly difficult to obtain, even for those who have excelled academically. This is a recipe for disaster. Last year alone, the federal government cut more than $5 billion in funding from education programs, the bulk of which was slated to pay for state programs and direct state grants. As the states struggle to balance budgets, education becomes a large juicy target. New York State alone will be eliminating more than 5,000 teaching positions, even after increasing tax levies.
As federal money fails to reach states, so too does state money fail to reach localities. These localities are forced to cut back on services such as fire and rescue, as well as police. Local government offices cut back on building inspections, shrink hours of operation, close public libraries, and even darken street lights. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, hardly an arm of the socialist movement, has predicted lasting consequences should the economy remain stagnant and federal aid to states remain damned. Because state governments are constrained by a requirement to balance their budgets, revenue shortfalls require offsetting cuts and debt offerings. Many states are already burdened by high debt loads and are loathed to increase bond offerings for fears of credit downgrades that increase borrowing costs. The states are left with the option of cutting spending and increasing taxes. Increasing taxes–while necessary–is politically unappealing during an economic recession, therefore most states opt for spending and services cuts.
The only entity available to step in and curtail the bloodletting of state and municipal jobs and cuts to public services is the federal government. Unfortunately, President Obama has not been willing to expend any political capital on efforts to assist the states, and Republicans are hell bent on ensuring that the economic emergency continue through election day. This situation creates immeasurable suffering in local communities. Taxpayers are asked to bear the burden of funding depleted schools and local services at increasingly unsustainable levels. Many people have lost their homes over an inability to meet property tax and other municipal burdens. Allowing this to continue during a period of high unemployment is particularly devastating, and sets in motion a cavalcade of events that only drags the local economy down further.
It is time for the federal government to step up and offer assistance to states and localities in order to maintain a basic level of public services and avert further layoffs of public employees. While the private sector continues to report modest job creation in 2012, the public sector continues to lose jobs. Lost in the debate over funding of government and government services is the fact that it is the public sector that allows the private sector to flourish, and it has done so since WWII. The public sector helps educate its employees, it maintains the bridges and roads on which the private sector transports its goods and personnel, it maintains the safety of air travel so that the private sector may travel to meetings and business events, it oversees the ports through which the private sector exports its goods and imports its supplies, it manages the tax boards and the IRS, it provides fire, police, and ambulance services to private sector business and its employees, it pumps clean water in and carries sewage and waste water out of private sector facilities, it has ensured efficient markets and regulation that has allowed private sector American business to attract capital from around the globe and enjoy some of the largest stock trading premiums in the modern world, it administers the courts through which the private sector settles its disputes, it handles patents, copyrights, and trademarks in order to allow private business to profit from its own creative product free of exploitation and theft. Essentially, without a robust and functional public sector, the United States of America and its business and financial dominance would not exist.
It is time to provide the public sector with the short term assistance it needs in order to ensure our collective long term survival. Teachers and public employees are not the reason that the government is broke–wage inequality, poor and dis-courageous governance, and corporate greed is. Please join us in focusing the anger, vitriol, and more importantly the constructive solutions, on those actually to blame for the current circumstances of state and municipal budgets. Those who provide us with the invaluable services that distinguish a modern functional society from one of chaos and dysfunction in return for substandard wages and a secure retirement are not the enemy. Don't allow yourself to be convinced otherwise.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Company Size:
- Enterprise
Forcepoint™ helps us defend against millions of online attacks each month and has significantly reduced malware infections.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the government's principal agency for protecting the health and providing essential human services for all Americans. It represents almost one quarter of all federal outlays and administers more grant dollars than all other federal agencies combined. The HHS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid programs provide healthcare insurance for one in four Americans. In fact, Medicare is the nation's largest health insurer and it handles more than 1 billion claims each year.
HHS includes the Office of the Secretary and 11 operating divisions, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health. Eight are agencies in the U.S. Public Health Service; three are human services agencies. All told, they represent more than 300 programs and a wide spectrum of activities. This includes providing access to high-quality healthcare to millions of children, families, and seniors while exploring new frontiers of biomedical research.
HHS needed security that scales effectively and efficiently to protect more than 150,000 users in multiple departments and locations. These users access billions of sensitive data files and interact with the American public through a variety of websites and other online communication methods. In order to maintain a high level of productivity, HHS needed its systems and data to be consistently clean of malware. Its users needed to be able to take advantage of the available, powerful, modern age, productivity opportunities such as Cloud computing, virtual mobility, and access to social media. However, more than two million online attacks per month are detected trying to infiltrate the systems of large government departments such as HHS. With that in mind, the challenge for HHS, like many government departments, is finding the balance between data security and user access.
Additionally, doctors and researchers from various agencies within HHS handle very sensitive health information on a daily basis.
HHS researchers are constantly networking with other researchers, worldwide, to collaborate on important national and international health issues. Without the right security, this collaboration can be extremely risky. HHS doctors also face concerns that if their systems are breached by data-stealing malware from hackers or hacktivists, it could pose a highly dangerous threat to patient privacy.
It is critical that HHS meet the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and implement the computer systems that continuously are monitoring security strategy. Not only does it need to meet federal requirements, the IT security staff also needs to respond more rapidly to security issues identified by automated tools.
Finally, HHS recognized that past security solutions were not able to effectively examine Web content in real-time. Cybersecurity companies in the past few years have spent too much time remediating the harm caused by malicious software and insufficient time preventing data loss and theft. HHS wanted an advanced security solution that would meet their needs for outbound DLP and DTP.
After extensive testing, HHS invested in Forcepoint TRITON® Web Security, which uses real-time, inline security analysis and threat intelligence to defend against advanced malware, blended threats and spam.
Forcepoint is also able to provide HHS with advance level visibility into the movement of their data. Additionally, HHS uses TRITON for a multitude of social media controls – managing the use of Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media websites. HHS networks are up and running on 69 high-power Forcepoint security appliances, all of which are backed by Forcepoint Support.
Since implementing the anti-malware portions of Forcepoint TRITON Web Security, HHS employees can now more safely use the Web to serve the U.S. population. Portions of HHS have experienced a 60% reduction in the number of computers that need re-imaging due to malware infections. HHS network stability and usability increased due to reduced malware attacks. HHS expanded its IT services (based in part on savings gained from awarding an enterprise license). HHS trusts the safety and security that Forcepoint offers – enough to now allow employees to use the social web to network with other researchers, share information, and communicate directly with the general public.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has relied on Forcepoint security solutions since 2010.

CORSA exhaust, too loud or not?????
Hi there,
in a week from today´I`ll be in the US and I`m not too sure if the Corsa isn`t too loud on a XLR.
I love it on my C5 Vette but especially on fast autobahn drives it`s real loud (4000 to 6000 rpm`s).
The ones who have it installed on your XLR`s what you think about it?

The new figures show the first back-to-back monthly fall in high street sales for four years. In addition, new mortgage approvals and credit-card spending fell to their lowest for four months in June, suggesting the housing and borrowing booms may be fizzling out.
The news, combined with plunging stock markets and low inflation, will mean the Bank of England is likely to keep
interest rates at four% - a 38-year low. But it will also raise fears that the economy is in for a bumpy few months.
Retail sales tumbled 0.7% in June - the largest one-month decline since February 2000 - after a 0.5% fall in May. The year-on-year rate of increase is down to 4.6%, the weakest since January last year.
The British Bankers' Association said spending on credit cards was £5.6 billion, 14% less than in May and the lowest since February. Mortgage approvals - loans agreed but not yet made - totalled 204,600 with a value of £13.6 billion, also the lowest since February.
London shares rallied today after astonishing gains on Wall Street last night, though dealers remained cautious.
Most City pundits expect the cost of borrowing to remain at 4% until at least November and possibly well into next year.
Simon Rubinsohn at stockbrokers Gerrard said: 'Some rebound [in retail sales] is likely in July and, thankfully, there is little evidence consumers are throwing in the towel in the wake of turmoil in the equity market. Nevertheless, we expect the underlying trend in sales growth to stabilise at around the current level.'
Household goods sales were hardest hit, falling 4.3% during June. Department store sales fell 1.7%. High street prices are being slashed due to fierce competition and today's figures chimed with disappointing statements from Debenhams, Argos and Harvey Nichols. Prices in June were two% down on a year earlier - the sharpest annual rate of decline on record.
National Statistics issued a mild warning over the data, saying the Jubilee Bank Holidays and World Cup created uncertainty.
Borrowing through personal loans and overdrafts reached its lowest level for six months at £3.24bn last month. There were signs the housing market is beginning to cool: as well as reporting a fall in mortgage approvals, the BBA announced mortgage lending rose by £4.1billion in June to £400.7bn - a rise well down on May's £5.2bn record increase.
And a survey by property website hometrack reported house prices in England and Wales up 1.2% during July, lower than June's 1.8% rise and May's 2.6% jump.
In the City, today's revival of the FTSE-100 came after the Dow Jones index of US shares made its second biggest one-day gain in living memory yesterday.

I've come across a few articles and blog posts suggesting young lawyers consider setting up shop in rural areas. South
Dakota's state bar is launching a project to lure more attorneys to rural areas as many of the attorneys in the less-populated
parts of the state are getting ready to retire.
It's not just a problem in the United States – a 2009 article on the Canadian Bar Association's British Columbia Branch encourages young lawyers to come to rural parts of the province.
It may be a tough sell to young lawyers – come practice in a town that's population may be the same as your law school. While there may be less competition and more opportunities to start a career and practice law in less populated areas, can that overcome the fact that the attorney would be without the amenities that a large city can provide?
If you live and or practice in a rural part of Indiana, are you finding a similar situation unfolding?

What is panniculitis?
The tissue layer under the skin (epidermis and dermis) is called the subcutaneous fat or panniculus. This subcutaneous tissue is very important in temperature regulation and protective insulation of the body. Inflammation of this essential layer of fatty tissue is called panniculitis. In panniculitis, the overlying skin typically appears as red or purplish lumps.
What are other symptoms of Weber-Christian disease?
Weber-Christian disease can also cause symptoms other than in the skin, such as fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and joint pain. Occasionally, inflammation occurs in other organs of the body to cause heart, lung, kidney, liver, and/or spleen problems. Liver involvement may first cause abdominal pain. The skin symptoms provide perhaps the most important clue to the diagnosis of Weber-Christian syndrome. Overall, symptoms with this syndrome may come and go, and relapses are common.
What causes Weber-Christian disease?
The cause of Weber-Christian disease or idiopathic lobular panniculitis is not known. Idiopathic means unknown cause. A misdirected immune reaction may play a role. The cause may be related to an abnormal bodily response to the normal inflammation.

283 question?
i bought this 283 and it needed head so i bought these 54cc heads. i guess thats what came on it. if i get new pistons and about .30 over can i run pump gas? whats a good piston with this engine and also looking up casting numbers it said my 283 has a factory forged crank?:confused:
also it has on passeger side front of block -F0703D. i've looked at all the good sites for codes but nothing.:smash:
whats the purpose of the 283? show? street? DD?
best of my knowledge all 283s have a forged crank
im wanting a street engine that runs pumped gas but something i cant take to the strip on weekends and not be a whimp.
hopefully the car is light weight.what trans and gears do you have?weight of car? is a solid or roller cam ok? how fast is good enough?
well its going in a 1962 GMC shortbed. its has stock rearend as of now and i've done alot of weight reduction. need to weigh it though. and possibly 13 or high 13's in the quarter mile.
put a 454 in there
A good 283 can make 375 hp or more,using 2.02 heads(bored 060 to 292 cubes) that would make a 3100 pound chevy 2 go low 13s maybe high 12s if you threw a lot of gear at it. If the engine was blown it might get that truck into the 13s.
N/A 283 with little work might get you into the low 17s high 16s
^^^^^What he said. You could make it run 13's but it sure would be an expensive build.

Sony has unveiled a new range of SD memory cards boosting the transfer speeds up to 20Mb/s on its high-end Expert series of cards. As well as announcing three new ranges of SDHC cards, Sony has announced the first ever file rescue software with AVCHD support.
The new SDHC cards come in three series: Expert, Experience and Essential. The Expert series, as you probably guessed, is aimed at the high-end market ideal for memory-hungry applications, from Full HD video to continuous burst shooting and 3D imaging. The Expert series boasts data transfer speeds of 20MB/s, which is pretty fast though no where near the 30Mb/s speed of the SanDisk Extreme range. The Expert series comes in sizes of 8GB, 16Gb and 32GB. We are awaiting a reply from Sony regarding prices for the new cards, which will be available in January.
The Experience series is the interim range though still boasting impressive speeds of 15MB/s and coming in sizes of 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. Sony is aiming these cards at people "shooting stills and Full HD video with your DSLR camera or camcorder." Finally the Essential series is the value range with sizes of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB available. Sony didn't release the speeds of the Essential series but it is marked as a Class 4 SD card which means transfer speeds of about 4MB/s. Sony see these cards as being an add-on for boosting the storage capacity of your entry-level digital camera or camcorder.
Everyone buying any of the Expert or Experience series SDHC cards will get two free software downloads. The first, and most impressive, is the File Rescue HD software, which now supports AVCHD video file for the first time. The software will recover as many as 90 percent of mistakenly deleted image files. "In a world first by Sony, this easy-to-use file recovery software can now retrieve AVCHD movies recorded with any brand of camera/camcorder alongside JPEG, MPEG-1 and MP4 files," Sony claim. Buyers will also get Sony's x-Pict Story software, which allows for slideshow creation etc.
We will of course update you once we hear anything regarding the pricing for the new series of memory cards and a more specific launch date.

Here's an interesting observation that made me decide to put the boat, decoys, and waders away for the season:
I hunted this past weekend (did nothing) and found the boat really poky and low riding by the end of the morning. I weighed it at the local landfill scale and went back the next day (thawed out) and found it 360 pounds lighter after melting off the ice. Some ice and water still remained on my grass blind.
My 1448 is rated for 4 passengers, so you can figure the ice buildup was worth 2 passengers. That means I was WAY overloaded with blind, me, decoys, etc. Consider that next time you hit the lake at 10 degrees. You definitely don't want to swim home on those days.
