Treasury Announces Exit for 7 Banks
The Treasury has decided to exit positions in seven banks protected by the TARP program in 2008. The following banks had $220 million in contributed capital:
- Fidelity Southern Corporation (NASDAQ:LION),
- Firstbank Corporation (NASDAQ:FBMI),
- First Citizens Banc Corp. (NASDAQ:FCZA),
- MetroCorp Bancshares (NASDAQ:MCBI),
- Peoples Bancorp of North Carolina (NASDAQ:PEBK),
- Pulaski Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:PULB),
- Southern First Bancshares (NASDAQ:SFST)
Inching Closer to Repayment
Thus far, the Treasury has received $343.48 billion in cash back from the TARP programs. Even with these recent payments, the Treasury has a shortfall of $72 billion for the $415.82 billion that was originally disbursed. The largest outstanding balances amount to $67.49 Billion through investments made in AIG, GM, and Ally (GMAC).
Federal Reserve's Interest Payments
In 2010 and 2011, the Fed made record income from their $2.5 trillion bond-buying program. They sent $76.9 billion and $79.3 billion in profits to the Treasury, in 2011 and 2010 respectively. This $156.2 billion is much larger than the potential shortfalls in TARP. For 2012, you should expect similar earnings, as the Fed extends the current easing programs.
Privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
As of April 1st, new Guarantee Fees went into place at both Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC). As we get closer to wrapping up the TARP program and the Federal Reserve winds down their bond-buying, expect some details to emerge about the future of the Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs). Jim Millstein, the AIG bailout architect, made a proposal for fixing the GSEs and paying back taxpayers. In his proposal he suggests that taxpayers could recover all of their investments in Fannie and Freddie.
Disclosure: I am long OTCQB:FMCC, OTCQB:FNMA.
Additional disclosure: Holdings: FMCKI, FMCKP, FMCCO, FMCKJ, FMCKK, FNMAL, FNMAO, FMCCL, FMCCS, FMCCP, FMCCT, FMCCK

"Corey Stokes will be one of the best in the country," St. Benedict's head coach Dan Hurley said. "This kid has got it. He's got the game. Whatever "it" is, he's got it."
Maybe that's why Duke, Arizona, Kansas, UConn, Wake Forest, Seton Hall and Rutgers are some early but noteworthy names to mention in regards to Stokes. They must feel like he's got "it" as well.
On a loaded up St. Benedict's squad, Stokes averaged 15 points a night. He shot 42-for-98 from downtown and 84% from the line. "That's the best thing he does right now, shoot it. As a sophomore he almost produced what J.R. did." Of course, that's minus the high-wire act Smith was accustomed to displaying.
"I think he's got enough feel for the game that if he does enough off the dribble he should project to be able to play, I think some combo, by the time he's done," Hurley said. "He's got the feel, knows how to use his body and play angles with the dribble and all that stuff."
Shortly teams will begin playing on the traveling squad circuit. Stokes will lace them up with the Playaz and if Hurley thinks Stokes might have managed to go a little undervalued now, there is time for him to make his impact this spring and summer.
"He had a good ABCD Camp and made the underclass all-star game. Then with Tim Thomas [Playaz], I think he got a little lost in July but everyone who has seen him this year is just shocked by how good the guy is going to be."

Payday Loan Stores Kitchener
Sometimes, people need some help. If you truly need money and payday is a week or two away, consider taking out a payday loan. Although their public image isn't great, payday advances can be nothing less than salvation for a few cash-strapped borrowers. Keep reading to learn more information.
Hidden fees are extremely prevalent when confronted with Payday Loan Stores Kitchener. You have no means of knowing what you're being charged if you do not ask. Make sure the questions you have are clear and direct. Some people learn that they owe in excess of they originally thought after getting a loan. Steer clear of this pitfall by causing sure to read all of the documents and asking all critical questions.
Ask about any hidden charges. You have no idea that of a company will likely be charging you unless you're asking them questions and have a good idea of what you're doing. In many cases, people turn out not knowing each of the fees and possess to pay back more then they originally thought. Ask questions, read all forms and disclosures, and steer clear of being rooked.
These days, payday advances are everywhere; you will find new offices opening on a regular basis. Payday Loan Stores Kitchener are temporary loans, often a small amount, that won't require that your credit be investigated. This loan is for a short term. Since these loans will often be short term in nature, they support really high rates. Still, those in an emergency could need them.
When you can't pay punctually, an extension can be called for. Most payday loan organizations will provide a one or two day extension. Just remember that you will end up owing more whenever you obtain extra time.
Payday Loan Stores Kitchener can be the solution to your issues. Advances against your paycheck can really be handy, however, you could also end up in more trouble than whenever you started if you're ignorant of the ramifications. The following article will assist you to learn the nuances of applying for an online payday loan.
If circumstances need you to seek payday advances, you will need to know that you will need to pay exorbitant interest levels. In some cases the interest can be as high as 200 percent. Payday lenders hide the interest in fees to acheive around state usury laws.
When looking for an online payday loan vender, investigate whether they are a direct lender or even an indirect lender. Direct lenders are loaning you their particular capitol, whereas an indirect lender is being a middleman. The service is probably just as good, but an indirect lender needs to get their cut too. This means you pay a higher interest rate.
There are several companies that you can use to have a payday loan. You may be in a situation in which you need money quickly, and feel like you don't have plenty of time for this. However, taking 1 hour out to research at least a dozen options can quickly yield one with all the lowest rate. Doing your research first could very well save you a lot of cash and keep from making a choice you are going to regret.
Do not think the operation is nearly over when you have received an online payday loan. Put your paperwork in a safe place, and write down the payoff date for the loan about the calendar. Not making payments can become being very costly and those costs and consequences quickly accumulate.

How does this team recover from such a heartbreaking loss?
"Through leaders in the clubhouse," said Ryan Dempster, whose fine outing was ruined in the 4-3,, 10-inning loss Thursday. "We can either hang our heads and sulk or accept what happened today, learn from it, move on and win a game (Friday). We have a really good team (with the Dodgers coming to Wrigley Field)."

Operator, Im going to need your whole phone systemfor a while, just bill it to my line please.
Chapter 8: Hook Up To The Power Now you know that God is looking at you to see if youre looking for Him. Now you know that only a fool would say there is no God. Now you know that there is no substitute for God and you must find Him by any means necessary. But how do you find God? You find Him by hooking up to His power. You find Him by any means necessary. Psalm 62:11 explicitly declares that power belongs unto God and God only. According to the psalmist, God not only declared His power once, but He declared it twice. God repeated Himself. God emphasized the power that He possesses and, despite the realm of His majesty, His people have somehow become detached from it. Even Gods names express His infinite authority. He is the all sufficient one. He is the Almighty God; He has the ability to do anything. He is your shield. He is your banner. He is your rod. He is the Everlasting Father. He is the Prince of Peace. He is omnipotent; He is all power and all full of power. God, Himself, is His word and Hebrews 4:12 resounds that the Word of God is quick (alive) and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword. God is just oozing with power. But He does not want to keep it all to Himself; He has enough to distribute to everyone who believes.
Hows Your Breath?Psalm 33:6- 8 declares:By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Notice here that God created the world by the breath of His mouth. Imagine that. All He had to do was to breathe His thoughts and His words into manifestation. Im sure you know from experience that one persons breath may be stronger than anothers, but Gods breath is stronger and more powerful than anybodys. He created everything just by the breath of His mouth. Hows your breath? Are you breathing according to Gods will? Are your Godly thoughts and imaginations being realized? Are you walking in Gods power and breathing in synchronicity and harmony with Him? The Apostle Paul further explains that God has appointed His Son Jesus, by whom also he made the worlds and that God upholds all things by the word of his power (Hebrews 1:2-3). Gods Word is His power. The first way that you hook up to the power of God is to hook up to His Word. By His Word, the weak are made strong, the poor are made rich, the downtrodden are made rulers over many, the bound are loosed, the depressed are uplifted, the needy are filled, the lame walk, the blind see and the deaf hear and proclaim the gospel. Hallelulah! Just as the rain causes the earth to prosper, once the Word of God is manifested in your life, your life begins to prosper. His Word begins to unfold and reveal the nature of God. God is exposed through His Word. The more you know His Word, the more you know God. After all, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). Gods Word prospers wherever He sends it, and if you line up with the Word, it causes you to prosper in your every endeavor. His Word is a seed; it springs forth with life. It is ready to bloom. It is pregnant, ready to give birth. It contains revelation; it is ever changing and it is ever producing. The Apostle Peter described the Word of God as living forever. Things of this earth shall wither and fall away, but the Word of God will endure for eternity (1 Peter 1:23-25).
Call God By His Nickname Jesus responds to a priest inquiring whether He is the Son of God with, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven (Matthew 26:64). Jesus not only says that Hes sitting on the right hand of God, He says that He is sitting on the right hand of power. He referred to His Father as power. Power is one of Gods nicknames! So when you hook up to the power, you definitely hook up to God, for the essence of God is power. Just as studying, investigating and questioning Gods Word is one way to hook up to Him, you can also hook up to God by prayer and meditation. If a righteous man seeks God earnestly and continually in prayer, tremendous, dynamic power will be made available unto him. This tremendous, dynamic power is made available to anyone who will seek God earnestly. Even King David entreated God for His power. He determined in his heart that he would seek God early so that he could see His power and His glory (Psalm 63:1-2). Continuing with verse 8, David describes how his soul is following hard after God and that Gods right hand is upholding him. Jesus is sitting on the right hand of power (Matthew 26:64). Exodus 15:6 rings true with, Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. So, you have further proof that Gods power is in His right hand and that God is power. When you are seated at the right hand of God, you are Gods friend, you have intimate contact with Him, and He knows you by name. To be seated at Gods right hand means that you are His servant in the earth, you are His embodiment. You possess the very essence of God Almighty. When you hook up to God, you automatically hook up to His power. Psalm 63:6 describes how King David sought after God in prayer and meditation. Even the greatest king that ever lived was not exempt from seeking God in prayer. So, of course, you are obligated to seek after God in prayer as well. Prayer will give you that dynamic power you need. Anytime you are in earnest, heartfelt, continual, effectual, heated, fervent prayer, you will find God.
Fill Me Up King David was not exempt from seeking God through prayer and, Jesus, Gods Son, was not exempt either. Luke 6:12 shows how Jesus hooked up to God in earnest prayer: And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Jesus hooked up to God by continuing all night in prayer unto Him. Your power requirement depends on what you are doing. Some of you may not be making much of an impact on the world so you dont need much power. Others of you are prospering, you have Satan on the run, youre fulfilling your God-given mission, youre feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, so you need some extra power. At this point in His ministry, Jesus needed a fill up-so He prayed all night. Even Gods only begotten Son had to acknowledge the awesome power and glory of His Almighty Father. Jesus had to acknowledge that with God nothing is impossible. He is full of power. God is sovereign. He can do whatever He wants to do, when He wants to do it and how He wants to do it. He can do anything, anytime, anywhere and anyhow.
Thou Anointest My Head With ... Cigarette Smoke!? King David hooked up to Gods power, Jesus Christ hooked up to Gods power, and the apostles of the early Christian church hooked up to Gods power. Acts 10:38 relays how God anointed Jesus of Nazereth with the Holy Ghost and with power. This anointing allowed Jesus to go about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil. When you are anointed with something, you are rubbed on, smeared on and painted on with that substance. My two favorite leisure activities are playing golf and playing video games. On one particular occasion, I was in a game room where smoking was allowed. After I had stayed there for a couple of hours, I went home. As soon as I walked in the door my wife greeted me with, Have you been smoking? No, I do not smoke, but my wife smelled cigarette smoke all on my clothes. Since I had been in the presence of smoke for so long, I had been rubbed on, smeared on and painted on with smoke. I had been in the presence of cigarette smoke, so I had been anointed with cigarette smoke. When you are in the presence of God, you will be anointed with God. You will emerge looking like God and smelling like God with the same effectual, fervent power of God. Jesus imitated God --- He had been rubbed on, smeared on and painted on with the same qualities that God had because He spent a lot of nights in prayer. God was with Him. Everywhere Jesus went He acted like God, He looked like God, and He walked and talked like God. Jesus had been rubbed on, smeared on and painted on with the same power that God posessed. Whether He was at the height of His ministry or at the lowest point of His life, Jesus still found it necessary to hook up to Gods power. The night before He was to be crucified, Jesus cried out to God in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22: 41-42). After He finished praying, God sent an angel unto Jesus to strengthen Him (Luke 22:43). God responded to His Sons despondency with a strengthening angel. God is so good. Jesus prayed unto God, and God strengthened Him. When you pray unto God, God will strengthen you and He will fill you up with power. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. When Peter was thrown into prison, the church prayed for him without ceasing (Acts 12:5). When Paul and Silas were thrown into jail, they prayed and sang praises unto God. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake and the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were opened and everyones bands were loosed (Acts 16: 25-26). Now thats power! God wants you to keep seeking Him and when you find God, you will find His power. All that He has is yours, and His power is no exception.
Summary --- Hook Up To The Power
1. Power is a synonym for God. Therefore, when you hook up to the power, you hook up to God.
2. You can hook up to the power through prayer and meditation and studying and investigating Gods Word.
3. Jesus often retreated to pray alone. Although He was the Son of God, He still needed to hook up to Gods power. How much more do you need to pray in order to hook up to Gods power?
4. When you spend time in the presence of God, you are rubbed on, smeared on and painted on with the effectual, fervent power of God. You become anointed with God Himself.

EA SPORTS Game Changer Brian Parker rides on the Sony PlayStation 3 under the ID "Paakaa10"; friend him to compete on Ridernet and read on for his take on SSX's "Deadly Descents" and confronting them without the aid of gear!
On May 29th, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of Nepal became the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
On February 28th, 2012, EA SPORTS released SSX and gave video gamers everywhere the opportunity to ride their way down that peak on a virtual snowboard.
When the concept of "Deadly Descents" was first announced as part of the re-boot for the SSX franchise, I was intrigued to see where the developers at EA Canada would take the idea. As a fan of the SSX franchise since its debut on the Sony PlayStation 2, I knew that the team wouldn't settle when it came to re-creating one of the world's deadliest mountains. Thankfully, each of the ten "Deadly Descents"—those of you who have cleared the game's "World Tour" mode know why I didn't stop counting at nine—in the game present their own unique experience and challenge for today's SSX gamer.
Fans of SSX know, however, that it's not enough to just stop there; the envelope must always be pushed for the chance to improve upon your best time or trick score. This is why it came as no surprise to me to learn that members of the development team had begun to create a "game within the game" with respect to the "Survive" runs in the game: how far can you go using poor quality gear? Even better, can you survive with no gear at all?
With gear as a new facet of the SSX gameplay experience, gamers have been getting used to Armor, Wingsuits, Ice Axes, Oxygen, Headlamps, Solar Gear, and Pulse Goggles. For the trees of Mount Robson in the Rockies, the avalanches of Alaska's Denali, and the rocks of Mount Blanc in the Alps, Armor is the best chance for snowboarders to survive the harsh impacts of the mountain. In Siberia—particularly on Mount Belukha East, the Deadly Descent peak—Ice Axes help boarders weave around crevasses on icy surfaces which threaten to send them to their death. Patagonia's Fitz Roy forces players to confront Gravity and use Wingsuits to cross wide gaps and avoid incalculable falls from the greatest heights. At the bottom of the Earth, Antarctica's Mount Slaughter forces riders to rely upon Solar Gear to harness the power of the sun and avoid seeing their core body temperature fall to deadly levels. In Africa—perhaps one of the more unlikely settings for a game like SSX in most people's minds—Headlamps are essential to surviving the darkness of Kilimanjaro. New Zealand's Aoraki sits under near-constant whiteout conditions, forcing riders to rely upon the technology of Pulse Goggles to cut through the impenetrable whiteness of a mountain held siege by nature. And—last but not least—visitors to the heights of Mount Everest must rely upon the use of supplemental oxygen in the "death zone" if they hope to overcome altitude sickness and make it back to base camp alive.
I can hear the question already; "Why would you leave all of that neat equipment on the helicopter?" A series of Xbox 360 Achievements/PlayStation 3 Trophies give the answer there: surviving Mount Robson, Fitz Roy, Kilimanjaro, Mount Belukha East, Denali, Mount Slaughter, Mount Blanc, or Aoraki without equipping the suggested gear rewards you handsomely for your commitment to extreme boarding!
When it comes to surviving Mount Robson, Denali, or Mount Blanc without Armor, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Speed doesn't matter; survival is the goal. Since this is the case, you can feel free to take your time during the more dangerous sections of these runs to ensure that your health does not run out before you hit those end-of-run flares and the welcome sound of helicopter rotors.
- Check out the "store" before hitting the slopes; sometimes you'll find a "Mod" which will boost your protection or health regeneration, which might be the difference between life and death.
- Tackle Mount Robson first; as the first "Deadly Descent" of the "World Tour" mode, this is the "training ground" for Armor-based runs. Denali should be your next destination, with Mount Blanc being the toughest "Survive" run to complete without Armor thanks to its rocky sections.
One of the most impressive ways to "Defy Reality" in SSX has to be deploying a Wingsuit and flying through the air, cutting out whole sections of drops in the pursuit of the best time. As you tackle Fitz Roy in Patagonia without this cool new piece of technology, consider the following tips:
- Getting into "TRICKY" is your goal; being in "TRICKY" provides you with infinite boost, and infinite boost will be your best friend when you approach those "kickers" emblazoned with the "Wingsuit logo." Boost hard going into these jumps and don't short the landing as you try to clear the wide expanses.
- Check the "store" before your run to outfit yourself with the best Boards and "Mods" to help with your speed and boosting. You don't get any bonuses for holding onto all of your SSX credits, so you might as well spend big!
Mount Belukha East and its icy slopes can pose quite the challenge in Siberia to those riders who aren't prepared; getting ready to try the run without the aid of Ice Axes can be a daunting task. Here are a few hints:
- Take a few practice runs to familiarize yourself with how your rider handles when they aren't using the gear to ensure better handling on the ice. Even though the ice can be deadly, getting used to how it affects your control might show you that there are some benefits to riding more freely on the frozen surface.
- Consider using a slower board to give you more control and prevent you from going faster than you can handle on the slick surface; again, it's not the time that counts, survival which is your goal.
In the sub-zero temperatures of Mount Slaughter in Antarctica, sun-soaked snow is your best friend as you try to keep your body temperature up; when you're not using Solar Gear to keep warm and harness the sunlight, you'll need to think of other ways to survive:
- As with surviving Fitz Roy without a Wingsuit, enhancing your ability to boost is key to surviving without any Thermal Protection. You'll want to have your finger ready to hit the boost any time you find yourself forced into the shade if you hope to survive!
- Familiarize yourself with the run and create a route which keeps you in the sunlight as much as possible. There's no way to completely avoid the freezing temperatures of the shade, but minimizing your time in those areas will help you stay just warm enough.
The volcanic Kilimajaro in Africa stands in stark contrast to Mount Slaughter; instead of savoring the sunlight to survive, the drop forces riders into pitch black sections where bottomless pits and crevasses lie in wait for careless boarders. Most would use the Headlamp; if you choose to go without, you'll want to consider these tips:
- Make use of "TRICKY"; when you get into "TRICKY" status, your rider will begin to emanate a glow from their hands, and this glow can be used to light your immediate surroundings as you ride through the darkness.
- Make use of the rails and natural "grind-able" features of the run to keep yourself stable and away from the dangerous crevasses; holding the Left Trigger on Xbox 360 or L2 on PlayStation 3 will key your rider towards these grinds and away from Rewinds!
Finally, New Zealand's Aoraki presents a similar challenge; with white-out conditions battering the mountain, riders rely upon Pulse Goggles to see through the wind-blown snow and try to avoid deep crevasses which stand in the way of a successful ride. Forgoing this technology requires certain considerations to be made:
- Learn your surroundings; taking some practice runs down Aoraki with the aid of Pulse Goggles will help alert you to where the most dangerous sections of the run are. Knowing where you need to be to avoid falling into a crevasse will help, even if you aren't able to see exactly where you're going.
- As with so many other "Deadly Descents" without gear, take your time; there's no special reward for setting a blazing time if you're trying to survive without Pulse Goggles, so the focus has to be on reaching the bottom alive.
Do note that the Himalayas and runs which require the use of Oxygen hold no reward for riders who attempt to ride without the appropriate gear; tackling Mount Everest unprepared will teach you a quick—and deadly—lesson about what it means to attempt survival in the "death zone"!
For as many things which have changed since SSX first hit the gaming scene back in 2000, one thing remains the same; the people who play this series will do anything they can to explore the world under their boards in their own way. Tackling the "Deadly Descents" of the virtual planet Earth as a man (or woman)-versus-nature showdown is just another way that this game honours the tradition of this series!

Replacements' 'Songs for Slim' EP Auction Raises Over $106,000...
A few months ago, the members of The Replacements decided to raise money for former bandmate Slim Dunlap by auctioning off some extremely limited edition 10" EPs, featuring the first new music from the band in over 20 years. (Dunlap suffered a massive stroke in February of last year.)
The fundraiser went almost shockingly well, raising over $106,000 for Dunlap and his family.
The response was tremendous with almost 4,000 people participating and over 6,500 individual bids placed. Each package was numbered, with the #1 copy selling for $10,000.
Now, they're launching the second phase of the campaign, a limited edition 7" single, featuring some high profile friends covering Dunlap's music.
The project continues with an auction of 100 limited edition 7"s featuring covers of Dunlap's songs by Steve Earle and Craig Finn & Friends. Produced by Joe Henry, Steve Earle covers "Times Like This" backed by Jay Bellerose, Keefus Ciancia, Jennifer Condos, Greg Leisz and Val McCallum. Craig Finn & Friends reinterpretation of "Isn't It?" features Minneapolis veteran musicians Kraig Jarret Johnson, Peter Anderson, Jacques Wait and Ed Ackerson.
The auction, which will be active for seven days, begins Friday, February 15 at 10:00 am PST via eBay ID "NewWestAuction." Auctions are processed through eBay Giving Works, and as a result all winning bids are considered tax deductible donations.
Those of you who want to help Dunlap/hear new Replacements music, but don't have $10,000 lying around are in luck. A digital download of the EP will be made available on March 5, with a 12" physical copy dropping in April.

couldn't u just park it and waited on it to cool down or toe it instead?
anyways, damages could be from nothing to warped head, gasket problems,... to a dead engine
to check if you have a blown head gasket, check if white smoke is coming out from the tail pipe, and change ur oil. if there is water mixed with the oil, tough luck
, if not, u'v survived this one
a simple diagnosis at a dealer should give u all the info u need.
for next times, whenever u see ANYTHING lighting up on ur instrument cluster while driving, PARK IT ASAP to avoid paying lots of $$$ when a simple pulling aside the road would save ur pocket and car alot of trouble

A state official is anxiously waiting to see how much Congress decides to cut the foodstamps program before he alerts the public.
Dave Yacovone, the commissioner of the Department of Children and Families (DCF), which oversees the state's food stamp program (SNAP), said he wants to give families as much time as possible to prepare, but with a roughly $36 billion gulf between the two proposals on the table in Capitol Hill, he's hesitant to ring the alarm bells just yet.
"There's this careful balance of not wanting to alarm people, but on the other hand this is very serious proposal."
Marissa Parissi, executive director of Hunger Free Vermont, is also worried about getting this information out to Vermonters.
"Our worry is that they don't know that these cuts are coming, and then all of sudden the 40 bucks they were counting on is suddenly gone," she said.
The Farm Bill, which includes funding for SNAP, the federal food stamp program, is set to expire Sept. 30. There are roughly 100,000 Vermonters on 3Squares, the state's version of SNAP, and they receive an average benefit of $123. About $150 million in SNAP funding flows into the state each year.
Two months ago, Vermont's anti-poverty advocates grappled with the specter of a $20 billion cut over 10 years — that was the House GOP's proposal at the time. Republicans have since separated the SNAP program from the Farm Bill and ratcheted up the stakes — the chair of the House Agricultural Committee, Rep. Frank Lucas, a Republican from Oklahoma, announced Thursday that their new proposal cuts $40 billion from the program.
The Senate passed a Farm Bill in early June that cut $4.1 billion over 10 years. Once the House passes legislation, the two chambers will have to hash out the differences in a conference committee.
If Congress to failed to pass a Farm Bill SNAP funding would stay intact.
That turn of events would have serious repercussions for farmers. Hunger Free Vermont has been advocating with the state's dairy interests, and Parissi said they aren't rooting for that option because their allies would lose price supports.
"There's this kind of unbelievable compromise that needs to be made and it's hard to imagine what will happen," Parissi said.
Yacovone said he's no stranger to political skirmishes over the food stamp program, but the situation feels graver this time around.
"This seems more real, and it is getting later. November is not that far away, so this will be upon us soon," he said.
While state officials and anti-poverty advocates don't know precisely what kind of cuts will come down the pike, they've got a general idea about what they'll mean for Vermonters.
"It just ratchets up the level of toxic stress in a household," Yacovone said. The cuts, whatever their size, will likely drive more people to food shelves, he predicted. His department isn't in position to pick up the slack, he said, because SNAP is a federal program.
Judith Stermer, director of communications and public affairs for the Vermont Food Bank, said they, too, are bracing for that outcome.
"We've definitely have our eyes on this bill, and we are definitely fearful about those cuts," Stermer said.
The Vermont Food Bank, which partners with 270 food shelves, senior centers, after-school programs throughout the state, will do its best to pick up the slack, Stermer said, but they're already strained.
"We already have a stressed charitable food system and our partners are already strapped so cuts would be devastating… this is a fragile system."
Stermer and Parissi also made the case that food stamp cuts could negatively impact the state's economy. That $150 million benefits farms and other purveyors of food, and it eventually improves economic output by keeping be above the poverty line, Parissi said.
Regardless of where Congress settles, there's one cut, distinct from the Farm Bill stalemate, that is looking increasingly likely. The program got a temporary boost through the recession-prompted American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), but it's expiring in November and Congress hasn't shown any indication that it's going to stop that from happening. That means every food stamp recipient will see their benefit drop — a family of three, for example, will lose $29 a month, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

...this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." -- Woody Allen, Annie Hall
You can criticize the NCAA for a lot of things but not thinking big isn't one of them.
College basketball has a golden goose in the NCAA tournament and so the plan now is to stuff that goose with so many fertility drugs that it can lay 96 golden eggs.
Of course there is a possibility that it will just lay an egg, period.
There have been worse things done for the want of money. And it is true that sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make a Final Four omelet.
Here are some potential broken eggs:
The regular season.
Conference tournaments.
The NIT.
Your bracket.
Pride in being a select group to make the dance.
The ability of a coach to say (with a straight face) that he deserves another year because his team made the tournament.
Of course we could be wrong about all of this and the turn to 96 teams might be the best idea since they eliminated the jump ball.
Maybe Gordon Gekko has been right all along and greed is good.
We will leave that to you by asking if anything good can come out of this proposal.
While we wait for inflation numbers, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or re-checking our luggage for firearms.

Facebook is, at its heart, a digital launchpad that, as Rebecca MacKinnon points out on Slate.com, is a sphere "largely built, owned and operated by private companies."
Anyone in denial about Facebook's influence, indeed dominance of our means of communication, need only look at one simple fact: Pretend for a moment that Facebook were a country. It would have, based on the number of users, 800 million or so "residents," making it the third biggest country on the planet, just after India and China. In order to call proper attention to the worldwide scope of this new "country," MacKinnon suggests that we refer to it as "Facebookistan." One can only hope that both Sacha Baron Cohen and Michael Moore are planning films about this new destination.
But there is one quite disturbing aspect to this new place that so many people inhabit and to where so many businesses plan to move permanently. It is run by a management team on a new, 57-acre campus in Menlo Park, Calif., led by a guru who preaches re-engineering society by means of something called "radical transparency."
What this really means is that if you subscribe to Facebook, you are supporting the notion that we all would be better off if everyone on the planet were more transparent about what we do, what we think and who we are. In other words, the future of mankind is tied to the end of privacy.
It's easy to dismiss contemplation of a Facebook future in extreme terms. In fact, if the history of technological design is any indicator, Facebook's days might be numbered, since it has one significant business flaw. It manufactures nothing. It really creates nothing. All it really does is accumulate stuff that it can then sell...
...Facebook doesn't really sell you. It doesn't want you. It wants the data your personal or business existence generates. It sells data about you, and to push up its stock price, that data will have to vastly improve. Make no mistake, improvements are coming at a pace that makes Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" seem like slow motion. As we speak, Facebook users are having their lives fed intravenously to advertisers seeking to pinpoint their messaging.
Facebook: Is it really for all of us?

Powerhouse Capacitors Coming to Electric Cars
Today's hybrid electric cars come with a catch. They rely on an inefficient energy trifecta-battery, gas engine and a capacitor that kicks in for pick-up and to absorb braking power. But Gerhard Welsch, PhD, a materials scientist at Case Western Reserve University Case School of Engineering, plans to reduce the reliance on large batteries with capacitors that juice up electric vehicles-and electronic devices such as computers, cell phones and implantable defibrillators—at a fraction of the size and weight.
The trick is an improved dielectric (the thin barrier that separates the capacitor's positive and negative charges) that uses titanium oxide glass instead of a crystalline form and packs up to 1,000 times the punch of ceramic capacitors.
The goal for the dielectric? "To be as perfect and impermeable as possible," Welsch says. For the inevitable imperfections that do arise, Welsch's capacitors are self-healing, immediately sealing any gaps "like beavers," he says, "that come in during and right after a flood to plug up a hole in the dam."
Welsch predicts a prototype of his petite-yet-potent capacitor will be available for market in the next few years.

Diagnosis of a Maxillary Brown Tumor Associated with Hyperparathyroidism Secondary to Chronic Renal Failure - a Case Report
Andreades, Demetrios/Belazi, Maria/Antoniades, Demetrios
Brown tumor associated with hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure has been increasingly documented of late. This intraosseous giant cell lesion is indistinguishable from a central giant cell granuloma and is considered as an unusual local complication of renal osteodystrophy. This report presents a case of a maxillary brown tumor in an uremic, non-hemodialysis patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism. The radiographic, biochemical, and histopathological examinations are reported and the possible pathogenesis is also discussed.
Keywords: brown tumor, secondary hyperparathyroidism, chronic renal failure

Drawers feature metal guides with ball bearings for smooth, reliable drawer function. Metal guides allow you to open and close drawers with ease, sturdy enough for heavy or frequent use in your home. The ball-bearing extension guides allow you to pull the drawer all the way to the front, so that you can take advantage of the drawer's full space.

"If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed."
-J. Reuben Clark
I'm baffled that some dismiss any effort to ask hard questions in an honest attempt to find out what "the truth" is. In a church that only requires us to believe "truth", why is the default setting to view such attempts that dig deep to find out what the truth is as though it is all "negativity" and a threat?
If one uses a jackhammer to try and separate fact/truth/ideal from the concrete of reality, tradition, and even current teachings assumed to be truth, we should be thankful for such work, not marginalize the worker because of the temporary noise.

This statement is so true and I completely support sincere investigation.
I think that it's the way in which questions, comments, doubts etc. are phrased or expressed, that can cause a negative feeling.
I truly believe there is room for investigation and open consideration regarding the church, it's history and philosophies. Through faith, prayer, discussion and personal revelation we can all find the answers we seek.
However, if one truly wants to find truth, we must be willing and open to all points of view, even if that point of view doesn't result in the answer or sameness the questioner is looking for.
I would engage more in these types of discussions if I wasn't concerned about the judgement of the questioner and I'm certain I'm not alone in this quandary. Feeling that what I may have to say will be dismissed or negated in some way if I don't agree, keeps me very quiet, even though I feel I have much to contribute.

VIDEO: Simon Cowell EGGED on the Live Finale of "Britain's Got Talent"
Over the years, there have surely been a TON of people who would've loved to have THROWN EGGS at SIMON COWELL on live TV. It seems like an impossible dream . . . but it happened over the weekend.
It went down on Saturday during the live finale of "Britain's Got Talent". Simon and the other judges were watching a performance by two Welsh opera singers named Richard and Adam Johnson.
They were singing "The Impossible Dream" . . . appropriately.
Toward the end of the song, a woman rushed up from the back of the stage and started hurling eggs at Simon. Security immediately rushed in to carry her away . . . and the performance went on as if nothing had happened.
Although it looks like Simon DID get hit, because he takes off his jacket after the song is over.
The woman turned out to be a 30-year-old named Natalie Holt, who was already onstage playing the viola with a backing orchestra at the time.
Natalie was a contestant on the show last year, and didn't make it through the auditions. She also told a British newspaper, quote, "I basically took a stand against people [lip-synching] on TV and against Simon and his dreadful influence on the music industry."
But she IS sorry. She said, quote, "I want to apologize to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance. I've never done anything like this before, and in hindsight I have realized it was a silly thing to do."
Simon Tweeted, quote, "I really don't like eggs . . . I don't think eggs should be allowed on talent shows. Discuss?" He added, quote, "Bloody hell! Just watched the Adam and Richard performance back. They didn't miss a note."
For what it's worth, the opera singers finished THIRD during the finale.

Today, Congressman Sires issued the following statement in support of President Obama's, American Jobs Act.
"President Obama has submitted his plan to Congress, and it is time for us to work together in a bipartisan manner and pass legislation to create jobs swiftly. The plan includes jobs programs, assistance for the unemployed, and tax breaks for the middle class. Under this plan, New Jerseyans will benefit in many ways, and not one dime will be added to the deficit. I urge my colleagues to work together and do what's right for our country -- pass this legislation and put Americans back to work.
"The construction sector has been significantly affected during this economic downturn, and through several different jobs programs, thousands of construction workers will be put back to work. Under the President's plan, New Jersey would receive at least $1,325,100,000 to be used for repairing highways, roads, rails, and transit. Additionally, our state would receive up to $831,100,000 to prevent layoffs and ensure that teachers, police officers, and firefighters keep their jobs. To address deferred maintenance projects and modernize schools, New Jersey would receive up to $518,600,000. Facilities at community colleges would also receive approximately $123,800,000 in funding to modernize and ensure that they have the equipment needed to educate our future workforce. More jobs would be created through the investment of $98,100,000 for revitalization of neighborhoods and community development, and New Jersey would also be eligible to receive additional funds through a competitive process. Through these different jobs programs, nearly 35,000 New Jersey jobs could be created.
"To address the needs of the unemployed, President Obama is calling to extend unemployment insurance to prevent 104,300 New Jerseyans looking for work from losing their benefits in their first six weeks. Additionally, aid would be extended for the long-term unemployed. A Pathways Back to Work Fund would provide up to 3,500 adults and 11,300 youth in New Jersey to receive training in growing industries.
"Lastly, New Jerseyans would be able to benefit from tax cuts. Employer payroll taxes would be cut in half and up to 200,000 New Jersey firms would receive a payroll tax cut. Employee payroll taxes would also be cut in half, and workers would only pay 3.1 percent of their wage income. Additionally for small businesses, 100 percent expensing would be extended through 2012, which would allow for companies to deduct the full cost of qualified capital investments, such as the cost of new equipment."

Measurements have been made of the fluorescence spectra, lifetimes and quantum efficiencies and of the absorption spectra of several organic molecules in dilute solution. These have been used to test the validity of the theoretical relation between the radiative lifetime and the absorption intensity, and of the mirror-image relation between the fluorescence and absorption spectra. The former is found to be valid provided there is no major change in the nuclear configuration between the ground and excited states, but the latter is usually more sensitive to such changes. The effect of a change in nuclear configuration, which is particularly marked in the higher diphenylpolyenes, is to increase the radiative lifetime and to distort the spectral intensity distribution.

Bad News: 'The Stool Pigeon' is No More...
Via The Stool Pigeon:
The December/January issue of The Stool Pigeon was the final issue. A catch-22: I wanted to do much more online, but the newspaper sucked up nearly all our resources and time. It's proved impossible to do both as well as we'd like and, to be frank, we're knackered.
We haven't gone bust. We will settle outstanding invoices and, subscribers, you will be reimbursed via PayPal for issues that you have paid for upfront and will now not receive. Thank you for your support.
I reserve the right to come back and do something with this site, hopefully alongside my distinguished deputy editor Alex Denney, but not unless we can find a way to fund things properly. I still love doing what we do, and perhaps what I'm trying to say is that running out 60,000 copies of a free newspaper six times a year and distributing them to 100 cities/towns across the UK has become untenable, and also increasingly less effective and exciting than publishing journalism online.
