The White House announced Wednesday that it is ready to finalize legislation for all three pending free trade agreements, delayed since they were negotiated during the Bush administration.
U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk told lawmakers in a letter that the process should "commence without delay, so that we can work together to bring the benefits of this agreement home to American businesses, farmers, ranchers and workers."
The announcement marked a breakthrough for the administration as well as Republicans and business leaders who have long pressed for action on the deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. Republican leaders in Congress said they would not approve the South Korea deal, completed in December, without the other two.
"Now it's time we move to expand market access for American-made goods in all three of these nations," House Speaker John Boehner said.
Readying the Colombia deal was the final linchpin in the trifecta that Republicans had been seeking and the administration had been delaying for want of better provisions related to labor rights.
"As part of a new class of emerging economies, Colombia represents growth and job creation opportunities for American businesses and workers," said the Business Roundtable, made of major U.S. companies, in a statement. "The agreement, once implemented, is expected to increase U.S. exports to Colombia by $1.1 billion per year."
Obama administration officials said Colombia now has agreed to changes that will better protect union members and prosecute those who commit violence against them. However, key House Democrats Sander Levin and Jim McDermott continued to object.
"The question raised by the U.S.-Colombia FTA is will workers be able to exercise their basic internationally-recognized rights and be free from the threat of violence? That question has not been answered yet," they said.

Brazzaville (AFP) Sep 07, 2005
The deadly Ebola virus, which has killed hundreds of great apes in recent years, remains one of the gravest threats to the endangered species in central Africa, according to researchers.
Hundreds, possibly thousands of great apes are estimated to have been killed by Ebola since an outbreak of the disease in 2001 in the countries of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Cameroon and Gabon.
The region counted from 80,000 to 120,000 gorillas before 2003, according to Congolose government statistics, but the population is shrinking fast due to diseases like Ebola and man-made causes such as poaching and deforestation.
"Until a vaccine is found, the great ape and human populations of our forest areas will always be under threat," said Charlotte Gokaba, director of disease and epidemic prevention at the Congolese ministry of health.
The disease is one of the most virulent, often causing massive haemorrhaging and killing 60 to 90 percent of victims.
The virus is spread through contact with body fluids including saliva.
An outbreak of the disease in 2003 killed nearly two-thirds of the 800-strong gorilla population in the Lossi sanctuary in north-western Congo.
The scientific review Nature in 2004 said Ebola was rivalling poaching as the biggest threat to the ape populations in the region, which is home to about 80 percent of the world's gorillas and most of the common chimpanzees.
A conference organized by the Congolese government in 2003 tried to mobilize the international community to protect the great apes by drawing up a regional plan to fight Ebola, but the effort failed for lack of resources and cooperation in the region, the researcher Gokaba said.
"Prevention in the affected areas and sub-regional cooperation are the only ways to prevent (another) Ebola epidemic," Gokaba said.
"But this kind of cooperation is still weak in central Africa," she said.
In a fresh effort, representatives from 23 so-called "great ape range states" and wildlife experts are gathering in the DRC from September 5 to 9 to consider a raft of proposals for ensuring the survival of the primates.
Besides disease, pressure from war, deforestation and the bushmeat trade, have also pushed the "great apes" -- highland and lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos (pygmy chimps) in Africa and orangutans in southeast Asia -- to the verge of annihilation, with experts predicting their complete demise by 2055 without speedy action.
The Kinshasa meeting is the first at governmental level of the UN-backed Great Apes Survival Project (GRASP), an ambitious scheme launched in Paris in 2003 to sustain and begin to boost their dwindling populations by 2010.
With only about 100 key great ape populations left in the wild, surveys of 24 allegedly protected preserves in equatorial Africa and Southeast Asia have found populations declining in 96 percent of the areas, according to GRASP.
In Africa, 70 percent of great ape habitats have been negatively affected by some sort of human encroachment, according to the surveys.
Extrapolating from annual estimates in the loss of habitat, GRASP predicts that within 25 years less than ten percent of great ape habitat in Africa will remain undisturbed.

Among Democrats, 40% favor Clinton in a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken last weekend. Last year's Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, and his running mate, John Edwards, trailed with 25% and 17% respectively. The margin of error is +/—5 percentage points. (Poll results: Clinton leads)
In one respect, the results are not surprising: Clinton, the only former first lady ever to be elected to office in her own right, is one of the most prominent and controversial people in American political life.
But her poll status also represents a historic breakthrough: No other female candidate has had such a serious chance of winning a major party's nomination for the presidency.
Among Republicans surveyed, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani got 34%; Arizona Sen. John McCain, 29%; Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 12%; and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, 6%.
"Whether she runs or not, this is significant," said Kathleen Casey, associate director of the Center for Women in Politics at Rutgers University.
And, in her adopted home state, she is enjoying her highest approval rating, a poll released Wednesday shows.
That's good news for Clinton, who is just one year away from a re-election race.
About 65% of New Yorkers surveyed said Clinton is doing a good job, according to Quinnipiac University. That's a huge jump from the 38% approval she had five years ago, just before her Senate run.
But that may not mean she should shoot for the presidency in 2008. About 46% in the New York poll said she should run for president, while 48% said she shouldn't.
In a hypothetical race for U.S. Senate, the poll showed Clinton would beat Gov. George Pataki, 61% to 30%. Also, Clinton topped former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, 50-44.
But Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll doesn't see Giuliani running for U.S. Senate, and many don't expect Pataki to run either.
"If Giuliani runs for Senate, I'd fall over in astonishment," he said. Still, Carroll said the numbers are great news for Clinton.
"These are very impressive numbers," said Carroll.
Sixty-four percent of voters polled said Clinton is "honest and trustworthy". The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
But Republicans and conservatives said the numbers don't mean anything yet.
"She looks strong, but she's not in an election race right now," said Mike Long, chairman of the New York State Conservative Party. " When she runs for office ... That's when the numbers can change — if a candidate puts a strong campaign against her."
And while 74% of those surveyed said Clinton has strong leadership skills, Long thinks her leadership has moved from a liberal agenda to one of centrist in an effort to appeal to the mass.
" You don't see her taking the lead on any explosive issues that would cause her a problem," he said. "She has dropped her left foot stance on a lot of issues to be centrist."
He cited Clinton's recent remarks when she said both sides of the abortion debate should strive for "common ground" in an effort to reduce the number of abortions.

Holy casting news! An American Psycho has been picked to star as Bruce Wayne in a new Batman movie.
Christian Bale will don the cape and mask in a film that will chronicle the early career of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros Pictures has announced.
Memento filmmaker Christopher Nolan will direct the movie, which is set to begin filming in early 2004.
"What I see in Christian is the ultimate embodiment of Bruce Wayne. He has exactly the balance of darkness and light that we were looking for," Nolan said in a statement.
Bale, 29, made his breakthrough in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun in 1987, playing a boy trying to survive in a Japanese-run prisoner of war camp in China.
His other credits include Swing Kids (1993), Velvet Goldmine (1998) and Shaft (2000). Bale's most infamous role was as the yuppie serial-killer in 2000's American Psycho.
Warner Bros is trying to resurrect the Batman franchise. The character became a top box office draw after director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton made two hit movies Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).
The films got a little campier when Joel Schumacher took over for 1995's Batman Forever, with Val Kilmer as the Caped Crusader. The next instalment, 1997's Batman & Robin, was a critical disaster that alienated many fans. It starred George Clooney.

1st Cavalry Division public affairs
Soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, attended a memorial ceremony to honor 1st Lt. Michael Thomas Jue March 15 at the Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran's Chapel at Fort Hood.
Jue, who was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, died March 2 after collapsing during morning physical fitness training.
"Even after we returned from Iraq, Michael continued to do what he did best, he led from the front," said Lt. Col. John Cushing, the squadron's commander. "Everyone that he touched and led benefittd from it."
The 37-year-old platoon leader from Warren, Ohio, returned last summer after completing his second tour in Iraq.
During his five years of service, his awards included the Bronze Star Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon and Combat Action Badge.
Jue, who held a communications degree from the University of Cincinnati and a business degree from Miami University, planned on deploying with his unit this fall and then going back to school to pursue another degree.
"He set the standard for the other platoon leaders and officers around him," said Capt. Benjamin Jackman, Jue's company commander. "First Lt. Jue made an impact on the soldiers and the unit that I will never forget."

Your article kinda inspired me, have a look:
Should The Mets and Yankees make a trade? Would the Mets want Robinson Cano?
In celebration of Derek Jeter's birthday, I wrote this article:
The biggest week of games to date this season begins for the Mets with Six games against the Phillies and the Yankees, its a real test for a team that has dealt with quite a bit during this early part of the season. With this I'm presenting another version of my Top Five with the subject centering around how the Mets can be successful this week against the Phils and Yanks. I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance.
Hey William,
People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Wang, Huaguo Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-11292002-234939 Title Describing and Predicting Breakthrough Curves for non-Reactive Solute Transport in Statistically Homogeneous Porous Media Degree PhD Department Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Persaud, Naraine Committee Chair Lin, Tao Committee Member Mostaghimi, Saied Committee Member Pachepsky, Yakov Committee Member Zelazny, Lucian W. Committee Member Keywords
- Scale-dependent Dispersivity
- Column Experiments
- Solute Transport Modeling
- Statistically Homogeneous Porous Media
- Breakthrough Curves
Date of Defense 2002-11-18 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe applicability and adequacy of three modeling approaches to describe and predict breakthough curves (BTCs) for non-reactive solutes in statistically homogeneous porous media were numerically and experimentally investigated. Modeling approaches were: the convection-dispersion equation (CDE) with scale-dependent dispersivity, mobile-immobile model (MIM), and the fractional convection-dispersion equation (FCDE).
In order to test these modeling approaches, a prototype laboratory column system was designed for conducting miscible displacement experiments with a free-inlet boundary. Its performance and operating conditions were rigorously evaluated.
When the CDE with scale-dependent dispersivity is solved numerically for generating a BTC at a given location, the scale-dependent dispersivity can be specified in several ways namely, local time-dependent dispersivity, average time-dependent dispersivity, apparent time-dependent dispersivity, apparent distance-dependent dispersivity, and local distance-dependent dispersivity. Theoretical analysis showed that, when dispersion was assumed to be a diffusion-like process, the scale-dependent dispersivity was locally time-dependent. In this case, definitions of the other dispersivities and relationships between them were directly or indirectly derived from local time-dependent dispersivity. Making choice between these dispersivities and relationships depended on the solute transport problem, solute transport conditions, level of accuracy of the calculated BTC, and computational efficiency
The distribution of these scale-dependent dispersivities over scales could be described as either as a power-law function, hyperbolic function, log-power function, or as a new scale-dependent dispersivity function (termed as the LIC). The hyperbolic function and the LIC were two potentially applicable functions to adequately describe the scale dependent dispersivity distribution in statistically homogeneous porous media.
All of the three modeling approaches described observed BTCs very well. The MIM was the only model that could explain the tailing phenomenon in the experimental BTCs. However, all of them could not accurately predict BTCs at other scales using parameters determined at one observed scale. For the MIM and the FCDE, the predictions might be acceptable only when the scale for prediction was very close to the observed scale. When the distribution of the dispersivity over a range of scales could be reasonably well-defined by observations, the CDE might be the best choice for predicting non-reactive solute transport in statistically homogeneous porous media.

From its inception in the 1960s to its present form, contemporary Mexican American or Chicano art has developed as an art of identity, asserting the uniqueness of Chicanos and their dual Mexican and U.S. American cultural backgrounds. Because it emerged as a social phenomenon, however, many people outside the Chicano community have perceived Chicano art as merely protest art or social commentary, and Mexican American artists have been largely ignored in mainstream museums and absent in art history texts on American art. Yet more than ever before, Chicano art is diverse in medium, style, technique, and content--the cutting edge of a bold attempt to redefine and advance the American experience through new ideas of who we are as Americans and what American art is.
Contemporary Chican@ Art is a general introduction and guide to one of the most exciting and meaningful expressions in contemporary American art. Intended for the casual reader as well as for art history scholars and students, the book provides an overview of work created from the 1960s to the present. George Vargas follows the dramatic evolution of Chicano art within the broader context of American cultural history. He shows that while identity politics was and still is a prevailing force in Chicano expression, Chicano art has undergone a remarkable transformation, shifting from a strict Chicano perspective to a more universal one, while still remaining a people's art. In the concluding chapter, Vargas takes an in-depth look at selected Chicano artists who share their thoughts about the Chicano artistic enterprise and their own work.

So. I hope I can learn a thing or two about over-clocking considering I'm a complete noob. Unfortunately I don't have the funds for something like my computer so it'll take me a while to get the hang of this thing. That is all.

WITH a mixture of lassitude and restlessness, a dozen 15- to 20-year-olds sprawled across battered couches, played computer games, drank sodas, ate snack foods and demonstrated the fine art of hanging out.
There was nothing out of the ordinary in the activity, paralleled across the county in many suburban family rooms and basements on a warm summer afternoon. What was different was the fact that the young people here were relaxing in Center Lane, Westchester's only community center for gay, lesbian and bisexual teen-agers.
At a time when national attention is increasingly focused on what happens to teen-agers who feel alienated, places like Center Lane, which offer a haven for teen-agers who are different from the majority of their peers, take on added importance.
''What happens to a lot of gay kids in school is that when they come out, they become 'the gay kid,' '' said Jill Schreibman, a certified social worker and the coordinator of the Center Lane program. ''Instead of being the captain of a team or debate club president, they are the 'gay team captain' or 'gay club president.' It becomes their primary identity, and a label, and it can be a difficult label to carry around.'' Adolescence in general is often marked by an difficult quest for identity and figuring out where to belong, and that quest for gay, lesbian and bisexual teen-agers can be particularly perilous, experts say.
''Gay and lesbian teen-agers face all of the same challenges, struggles and difficulties in their journey toward identity,'' said Dr. Amy Kohn, associate executive director of Westchester Jewish Community Services, the nonprofit agency that runs Center Lane. ''But the gay and lesbian teen-ager often does so in isolation. The whole life experience they go through is so much more profound.''Continue reading the main story
For many teen-age homosexuals, depression, drug and alcohol abuse -- even suicide attempts -- are a response to their situation, which can be exacerbated by rejection from their parents, hostility from their peers and teachers and other problems that are easily magnified by adolescent self-analysis, Dr. Kohn said. According to a study by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, homosexual teen-agers are two to three times more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to attempt suicide. They are also at increased risk of dropping out of school, becoming homeless or victims of violence.
''The stresses of trying to deal with this in middle and high school are so great,'' Dr. Paul Bloom, a pediatrician who helps lead some of the groups at Center Lane said, referring to the quest for identity. ''Being different when you're in middle school is depressing. There are many kids in Westchester who have serious emotional problems and have been depressed and hospitalized, from being harassed.''
Finding a safe place can be difficult. ''Some kids get kicked out of their home by their parents,'' said Jill Schreibman, a clinical social worker and the coordinator of the Center Lane program. ''It's difficult for any gay kid in any school. A lot of it is homophobic. For some kids, sometimes staying in the closet is an adaptive response.''
The stories that the teen-agers here told reflected the range of their experiences.
The parents of a 19-year-old from Yonkers who attended a Catholic high school reacted to the news that she was a lesbian by committing her to a mental hospital. Her parents never visited her there.
A 16-year-old boy from White Plains said: ''My mother doesn't know I'm here. When I told her I was gay, she ripped the phone off the wall.'' She also took away his connection to America on Line and cable television and told him he could no longer talk to his sister.
And Kevin Slavin Jr., 20, said: ''I was banned from coming here by my parents. When I told them about this place, they thought that if I hung around gay people, I'd stay gay. When they found out about me, I was banned from using the phone for a week. And I was verbally harassed in high school by the students, even though the faculty and staff were supportive.''
Some high schools are more accepting of homosexual students, which makes the school day less difficult. Schools like Horace Greeley in Chappaqua, Mamaroneck High School, Scarsdale High School and White Plains High School, which have active after-school gay and straight alliance organizations, ''create an environment of tolerance,'' Ms. Schreibman said.
A 15-year-old boy from White Plains said: ''The teachers are really supportive and don't care about your life style. It's more acceptable than it was 10 years ago. Even if the majority of parents think this is wrong, most people our age are more tolerant.''
Not every coming-out experience is painful or tense. An 18-year-old woman from Hastings-on-Hudson said: ''My parents are great about it. My father has been awesome, and my mom has been cool.''
And a 15-year-old girl from Hawthorne added: ''My parents are gung-ho. It's impossible to hide your life style for a long amount of time. I didn't tell them until the beginning of last year, but I always was a guy. In my high school, I know everyone and everyone knows me, so that kind of overrides the gay thing. I think it's where racism was a generation ago. Our generation is more accepting of gay people.''
For some of the young adults, moving on to college can provide a respite from the narrow-mindedness found in some high schools.
''I'm at Westchester Community College now, and people are very tolerant,'' James Andrade, 20, said.
Teen-agers and young adults at Center Lane say they get security from being with others like themselves. For the 15-year-old from Hawthorne, Center Lane offers hours upon hours ''of the best conversation I have anywhere.''
''It's a place where I understand everyone's point of view.''
Center Lane is housed in a bright and cheerful basement downstairs from the Loft, a gay and lesbian community support service for adults on the commercial stretch of North Broadway in White Plains. It was begun by Westchester Jewish Community Services in July 1995, and today it offers a supervised after-school drop-in center, movie nights, counseling, support groups for teen-agers and their parents, a peer leadership program, community educational outreach training and recreational activities, including a gay prom in the spring.
Center Lane initially drew about 65 teen-agers and now serves 130. ''The center itself has changed things,'' Dr. Kohn said. ''It's a place that validates their existence and offers a place for adults to refer kids.''
Some of the mental health programs involve recreational activities and groups for teen-agers with like-minded and supportive peers. ''We run groups and trips, multicultural events, even a Passover seder,'' Ms. Schreibman, the program's coordinator, said. ''It's all youth driven.'' Participants, many of whom use the county's public bus system to reach White Plains, come from communities throughout the county, including Ardsley, Hastings, Hawthorne, New Rochelle, Tuckahoe and White Plains. The center relies on about a dozen volunteers.
Center Lane, which has a yearly budget of $85,000, received a Distinguished Service Award from the White Plains Commission on Human Rights in 1997 and a $57,000 State Department of Health grant last year. Funds are also provided by United Way, Westchester County and private donors. The number to call for information is 948-1042.Continue reading the main story

Microsoft has reserved May 24th to unveil "the next major release of Windows Phone," but latest rumor suggests that the event could bring much more than that. A brand new generation of Windows Phone handsets could accompany the expected Mango update.
A WMPowerUser tipster says that 9 new devices will break cover tomorrow. We'll see a massive announcement of:
- 4 new handsets by Samsung,
- 2 made by HTC,
- 2 coming from Acer,
- 1 from Dell.
But the unveiling doesn't necessarily translate into immediate release. Quite the contrary – the handsets could appear as late as this holiday season.
We don't know much about the upcoming handsets, but one suggestion is that Sammy could try to give its Galaxy S II a WP7 reincarnation. Secondly, HTC is expected to conquer photographer's hearts with the 16-megapixel HTC Bresson, while Dell is likely to release the full QWERTY Dell Wrigley. What we know for sure, is that those lucky few that got an invitation have already tasted the Mango. For the rest of us – tomorrow will bring the big news.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
We'll tell you straight off the bat -- or fishing line, if you prefer: This seafood market and restaurant has absolutely no charm. Bare (fish) bones to the extreme, the market features only a few kitchenette-style tables, plastic and paper tableware, and a powerful aroma of freshly scaled fish. So why does it win? Easy. In order: Captain Jim's fresh garlic crabs, a three-and-a-half-pound bucket of which will run you only $16.95. A pile of fried Key West shrimp for $7.95. (Captain Jim does a lot of fishing in the Keys.) Cracked Caicos conch, which comes with hush puppies or beans and rice for the same amount of dead presidents. And "extras" like fried clams, conch chowder, smoked fish dip, and smoked marlin. Get the picture? Good. Now go get the seafood before Captain Jim runs out of those garlic crabs -- at his prices, the eats go as fast as his reel.
The sun may have set on the British Empire long ago, but one of its key rituals continues weekdays at the Biltmore Hotel. The rapacious guardians of civilization knew that whether it be the languid tropics of the colonies or the drizzly comfort of hearth and home, nothing beats a good cuppa as the day turns dozy around midafternoon. Beneath the vaulted ceilings of this grand hotel's lobby, for an hour and half starting at 3:00 p.m., the tradition continues as high tea is served. It all begins with the raw materials from a 115-year-old English tea company. A gracious attendant wheels in a cart filled with teas accented by exotic flavors that carry names like Imperial Gunpowder, Afternoon Darjeeling, and Tippy Assam. The last of these is harvested each year, between April and June, from the Brahmanputra Valley in northeast India. Off to the side a woman plays piano softly. The server pours the tea into china cups, through silver strainers that are then placed into individual silver bowls. She brings fresh fruit and a selection of crustless finger sandwiches that range from salmon to cucumber. Next come wickedly rich scones made of fluffy shortbread dusted in powdered sugar. A dish laden with whipped butter and a complete selection of fruit preserves complements the pastries. At this point, rather than risk the perils of overindulgence, pause and appreciate the beautiful orchids atop the five tables, the plushly comfortable chairs, and, of course, more of that delightfully calming elixir. The last course arrives as if by magic, a plate brimming with confections: little macaroons, diminutive lemon tarts, and mini-pecan pies. When the $15 check comes, it seems a small price to pay for the burden of being civilized.
Just the name, written in big old-fashioned script above the entrance to this 32-year-old bakery, makes you think of sweet treats. And here there's an abundance of just about every Latin-American-style treat that can be baked. Homemade tamales simmer in a crockery pot by the cash register, and periodically a kitchen helper carries out fresh loaves of Cuban bread. In the morning and afternoon, people stop in on their way to or from work to pick up empanadas or pan gloria, maybe some pasteles de guayaba, cookies or cupcakes for the kids. The cakes at Bon-Bon are beautiful (it's best to order first and pick up later to ensure freshness), and the pies are dense and heavily crusted. The chocolate, coconut, and almond brazos -- a rolled log of cake that looks like an arm -- are festively decorated and even more fun for the palate.
Since Miami no longer is the nation's southernmost city but Latin America's northernmost, a yearning for Old South Florida cuisine rarely becomes urgent. But after a day gaping at gators in the Glades, nothing hits the spot like cracker cuisine, primo of which is barbecue. And the primo place at which to get it is the Pit, conveniently situated at the outskirts of the Everglades on the Tamiami Trail, miles before the road morphs into Calle Ocho. The décor in this small spot is perfect for a Florida barbecue joint: rustic wood booths inside, tiki-hut-covered picnic tables outside. And the food is even more perfect. This is genuine you-can-smell-the-smoke-for-miles pit barbecue, cooked slow over smoldering blackjack oak. The tender yet toothy ribs are terrific. But hard-core classicists order the $3.95 triple-winnerer: juicy pulled pork topped with crunchy, slightly sweet chopped coleslaw right on the sandwich, just like in North Carolina. And for noncarnivores, there's elegant fried fresh catfish. Among side orders, lightly floured crisp real onion rings are required eating, as are tangy-sweet barbecue beans. For dessert skip the overly sweet key lime pie and order another beer, since the Pit has imported Beck's and some Hank Jr. (or Senior) on the jukebox.
Molina's has a large and dedicated fan club; it's certainly among the best Cuban restaurants in town. Thus Molina's black bean soup, as a staple of any Cuban cuisine, has to be perfect, and it is. Very hearty, a nice thick broth enriched with just enough of the right seasonings to complement, not overpower, the succulent legume.
When Picanha's opened a couple of years ago in the former Tark's, which was attached to a Dairy Queen, we thought it would be another restaurant serf, dredging the lower realm of the dining public for customers. We're not ashamed to admit we were wrong about this honest Brazilian eatery, which is named for the cut of rump roast called a pincanha. Indeed the eatery was so successful with both Brazilians and the uninitiated alike that it recently took its meaty linguincinha sausages and rich prawns sautéed in palm oil and coconut milk to a more conducive venue: the former Mark's Place. Now the Grille is even more packed, especially on Thursdays for Brazilian-style karaoke and caiprinhas, and on weekends for executive chef Edson Milto's traditional feijoada. And here we thought nothing could ever take the Place of Mark's.

It's March 16. That means calendar-year corporation and S corporation returns are due today. Failure to file on time can be expensive. If you are filing or extending today, protect yourself by e-filing. If you must paper file, use Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to document timely filing. If you can't get to the post office before it closes, you can go to the FedEx or UPS stores, but make sure you use the right Authorized Private Delivery Service and send it to the proper service center street address, as private services can't deliver to the service center post office box addresses.
Hah! Fooled you! The IRS last week issued a press release: IRS Has Refunds Totaling $1 Billion for People Who Have Not Filed a 2011 Federal Income Tax Return.
If you haven't filed your 2011 return yet and you want to claim your refund, you're in for a nasty surprise: you're probably already too late.
Section 6511 of the Internal Revenue Code (NOT the "IRS Code." Stop that!) says (my emphasis):
Claim for credit or refund of an overpayment of any tax imposed by this title in respect of which tax the taxpayer is required to file a return shall be filed by the taxpayer within 3 years from the time the return was filed or 2 years from the time the tax was paid, whichever of such periods expires the later, or if no return was filed by the taxpayer, within 2 years from the time the tax was paid.
That means for most nonfilers, it's too late to get that 2011 refund, and it's 2012 refunds that expire on April 15.
Don't believe me? Then believe Robert Wood:
If you pay estimated taxes or have tax withholding on your paycheck but fail to file a return, you generally have only two years (not three) to try to get it back. Suppose you make tax payments (by withholding or estimated tax payments) but haven't filed tax returns (shame on you!) for three or four years? When you file those long-past-due returns, overpayments in one year may not offset underpayments in another.
This is why it is an awful idea to fall behind on filing. If you have a refund coming, it dies in two years, but if you owe and don't file, the statute of limitations never starts, and the IRS can come after you anytime. If you have refunds coming for some years, but owe on others, you don't get to offset the expired refunds against the amounts you owe. Heads they win, tails you lose.
I wonder if they do high-fives at the IRS Service Centers when people file their 2011 returns looking to cash in on that $1 billion.

William McBride, Critics of Rubio-Lee Tax Reform Are Way Off the Mark (Tax Policy Blog):
In sum, there are many reasons to think the Rubio-Lee tax plan, or something similar, would have tremendous growth effects. The Tax Foundation's macroeconomic tax model finds that the plan is indeed extremely pro-growth, while raising the after-tax incomes of families up and down the scale.
While critics may challenge the magnitude of these findings, given the current state of the economy and middle-class wages, this is a serious plan that should spur an honest debate over how best to overhaul our dysfunctional federal tax code.

As if to goad Republicans, he said that millions in taxpayer money was spent looking. Over 250 IRS employees spent 100,000 hours, costing taxpayers at least $14 million. However, the Treasury Inspector General has revealed that the IT people at the IRS say no one even asked them to recover the emails.
A new commissioner isn't sufficient to make the IRS trustworthy, but it is necessary.

Will Expanding Health Insurance Strain Emergency Rooms?
January 29, 2014
Americans can expect an increase in traffic to emergency rooms as insurance coverage increases, says Raymond Fisman, a professor at Columbia University Business School.
- Those in favor of universal health coverage frequently cite the use of emergency room care as an example of why Americans need universal health coverage.
- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that the American health care system "has forced too many uninsured Americans to depend on the emergency room for the care they need."
The idea is that by insuring more people, the newly insured will no longer flood emergency rooms for care. So why would emergency room traffic actually increase with the rise in health care coverage?
- Fisman bases his conclusions on a new study that examined a health insurance experiment in Portland, Oregon.
- The state randomly selected residents from a lottery to receive Medicaid coverage.
- The result? Those selected for Medicaid actually used the emergency room more, rather than less.
- In fact, emergency room visits increased by 40 percent compared to those that did not receive Medicaid coverage.
Fisman concludes that Portland's experience is likely not unique and that America can expect to see similar increases as more people become insured. Rather than increasing emergency room budgets to accommodate new patients, Fisman suggests finding new ways to deliver health care to low-income populations.

Elbow Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP)
What is an Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP)?
Ununited anconeal process is a condition in which a bony protuberance within the elbow becomes detached from the ulna. This loose bony fragment causes pain and lameness and contributes to articular damage within the elbow joint.
What causes UAP?
This condition is most commonly diagnosed in German Shepherd Dogs and Bassett Hounds. It is a consequence of elbow incongruity (either ulnar notch incongruity or short ulna syndrome). In most dogs, this causes obvious lameness and pain. Achieving an optimal outcome depends on early diagnosis and treatment.
How is UAP diagnosed?
Ununited anconeal process is most commonly diagnosed using simple radiography however in some subtle cases where the anconeal process remains loosely attached it is necessary to use computed topography (CT) to diagnose the condition.
How is UAP treated?
In dogs affected by ununited anconeal process (UAP), the best chance of achieving an excellent outcome is by reattaching the ununited anconeal process. This surgery is only appropriate in dogs in which diagnosis is made early and where the loose anconeal process has not changed shape. In chronic cases of UAP where the fragment has changed shape, the most appropriate treatment is usually anconeal process removal. Fitzpatrick Referrals have employed a unique type of screw for this purpose, in association with a proximal ulnar osteotomy (PUO), to allow the proximal ulna to move to a more favourable position relative to the humerus

2014 Toyota Corolla
Eleven generations and counting.
For all the newness in the 2014 Corolla, there are holdovers, like the 2ZR-FE twin-cam four cylinder, still checking in with 1798 cc of displacement, 132 horsepower, and 128 lb-ft of torque. A familiar workhorse of an engine, it is used in the Corolla L, LE, and S models—and many other Toyotas. The LE Eco gets the next-generation of that powerplant, the 2ZR-FAE, also displacing 1798 cc, but with a higher, 10.6:1 compression ratio and Valvematic instead of the FE's more basic variable valve timing. The difference is the new valve system's ability to vary intake-valve timing over a wider range than VVT. With it comes about a five percent improvement in fuel economy and eight more horsepower, but two fewer lb-ft of torque, says Toyota.
Taking the CVT Plunge
Go for the base Corolla L and you can choose between a four-speed automatic transmission—no, it hasn't been taken out back and put down yet—or a six-speed manual, the latter box up a cog from 2013. Cheers for the S model, which can also be ordered with the manual, but do we hear groans over the adaptation of a CVT for the S, LE, and LE Eco? So did Toyota, apparently, which claims to have gone to great pains to, "help create a driving sensation more similar to a traditional hydraulic automatic transmission." The official name is CVTi-S, the i for intelligent, S for Shift, and it's the latter we're curious to test. Several automakers are "stepping" their CVTs to mimic the feeling of a traditional automatic and minimize the annoying motorboating as the engine moans like a constipated toddler. Toyota has programmed seven "gears" into the CVT's operation. The dual-pulley CVT also has an Eco mode, but only in the appropriately named LE Eco model. In Eco mode, the accelerator is lazier through the first 50 percent of its travel, and A/C compressor use is dialed back. A likewise aptly designated Sport mode in the S model gives the driver manual control of the seven "gears" via steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. This mode also reduces boost for the electric power steering to make it feel more sporty.
Using additional bracing, Toyota claims to have made the Corolla's body stiffer and yet kept the curb weight of all versions under 2900 pounds. That's a small increase from the 2013 base model's claimed 2734 pounds considering the car's big, almost-four-inch stretch. The engineers also stirred in more high-strength steel. The suspension consists of struts up front and a torsion beam at the back, with the S version getting firmer springs, shocks, and bushings if you order it with the 17-inch wheels.
No word on pricing yet, but the current range is $17,025–$21,345 nationally. The only fuel-mileage hint was an expected 40 mpg highway for the LE Eco, but with the aero work and introduction of the CVT we suspect the final numbers for all models will top today's 27 mpg city/34 mpg highway. Will the new Corolla's performance match its more aggressive style? We know it won't be an AE86 successor—that'd be the 10Best-winning Scion FR-S—and suspect very few Corolla intenders could care less, but hope springs eternal, doesn't it?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling is teaming with Biggest Loser creator Dave Broone and his 25/7 productions to produce "new matches as well as unscripted programming."
Jarrett and wife Karen have been working on the formation of Global Force Wrestling since January, when Jarrett's bid to purchase TNA (along with Toby Keith) failed to happen. At this time, there is no word on if Keith will be involved with Global Force Wrestling.
Broome said the plan is to have new GFW content on the air 52 weeks per year, with both live and live to tape programming. The TV rights are currently being shopped. Broome had the following to say about the deal…
"It just won't be a bunch of wrestling matches; we have exciting announcements to come. TNA or WWE right now is match after match after match. Global Force Wrestling is not going to do that. There will be matches but there will be a lot more and a lot more variety placed into the actual events that will be really innovative and fresh."
Jarrett added the following…
"We're excited to enter this journey with a group as talented as Dave Broome and 25/7. They've achieved some great things over the past decade and we feel like they can lend a unique perspective both in and out of the ring."
"TNA or WWE are just match after macth after match"????? Has this guy been watching the same shows the rest of us have?
Regardless, I'm excited to see what Double J and GFW have in store. Lot's of live programming will be great. Good shows with good crowds always make a product better to watch.
Biggest Loser isn't exactly the best reality TV. But if you can add something new, go ahead. Just don't expect to strike gold and take the wrestling world over with some new concepts. WWE or TNA for that matter will steal your "innovative" concepts in about a week if they are any good. Hope you don't tape them in advance before airing because they will copy it before it even airs. Trying to add modern TV show elements and drama into the wrestling show is exactly what Russo was trying to do in TNA. Everyone crapped over every bit of it. If you are expecting a WWE centric wrestling audience to give you a chance, you are expecting a lot, because they apparently believe there is only one formula to do wrestling and good luck to anyone who tries something different. And they won't see anyone as a "star" because their definition of star is someone who works for WWE with many years left on their contract.

Lotto Winners Reaction (Funny..)
3-Time Lotto Winner "I Should Have Won More"
Is he GREEDY or what?

When confronted by reporters, Mr. Handley

"It's not about money," he said.
"It's just that the system I use normally allows
me to win the lottery at least five times per month
. I'm just mad – it should have been more."
Private research suggests that people can be
taught the "system" Mr Handley uses from inside
this free video.

Amanda Bynes Reveals New 'Unrecognizable' Look: Long Curly Hair, Heavy Makeup [PHOTO], 'Blissfully Unaware' of Her 'Bizzarre Behavior,' 'Totally Out of It,' Family, Friends Are Worried
Amanda Bynes may be spiraling out of control, especially after a new look she revealed on Twitter.
The former Nickelodeon star tweeted a photo of her with the caption "Wink ;)."
"The photo shows a heavily rouged Bynes wearing a red beanie and fatigue shirt and sporting long, curly blond hair as she stares into a compact mirror," according to the Huffington Post. She also showed off her controversial cheek piercing on her left side. Her face is heavily makeup and you can tell she is wearing fake eyelashes.
According to RadarOnline, the 26-year-old troubled actress is said to be on a downward spiral and "blissfully unaware" of her bizarre behavior.
"Amanda has absolutely no idea about the reputation she's getting for all of her weird behavior," a pal of Bynes told Radar.
"In fact, when she got her DUI and those hit-and-run allegations all she talked about was the publicity she was finally getting!"
The source goes on to say that Bynes doesn't feel she is acting weird and has no idea how worried her family and friends actually are.
"Amanda's just totally out of it lately, and any efforts by friends or family to help get her back on track go in one ear and out the other," the source said. "She's completely secluded herself, and she's just living in her own little world with her only communication to the outside world through Instagram photos and Twitter!"
The pal concluded, "Amanda will continue on this path because she doesn't think anything is wrong."
Bynes has been sending cryptic tweets that may mean she is having trouble with her love life.
"If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls," she tweeted on March 10. Then she said, "Forgetting past memories."
If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls.
— Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) March 10, 2013
Her latest tweet said, "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth. Don't read my mind read my lips."

From reservation to checkout, Cal and Jill (locals) demonstrated their love for the B & B lifestyle and their guests. They provided sincere, friendly service, truly wanting our stay to be enjoyable. And it was! The house and rooms are lovely, providing comfort yet retaining the style of the era it was built in 1907 . Wonderfully unique is the upstairs sunroom where I enjoyed early morning coffee before the sumptuous breakfast. Plenty of delicious hot food, original homecooked recipes, coffee, and juice each day solidified this as one of the best B&B experiences we have ever had. We will be back!

Cal and Jill are pros! The Sweet Magnolia is one of the very best B&Bs we've ever stayed at. The rooms are large and well appointed. The bed was just perfect. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. The shower had lots of hot water (which is great at the end of a day of exploring) Cal and Jill are super folks and very familiar with the area and the sights to see, where to eat, and things to do. We couldn't be happier with our first stay and we've already been back a second time!

We travel to Sandpoint regularly for both personal and professional travel and are so glad to see a B&B re-open in town! The hosts Calvin and Jill (and family) are very welcoming and hospitable. Breakfasts were terrific and we enjoyed them on the beautiful porch. It was an especially wonderful to be able walk out of our upstairs room and have coffee upstairs on the sunroom before breakfast. When we travel, my husband and I like to have coffee early while waiting for teenaged daughters to wake up for breakfast. But often at other B&Bs, we feel like we are bugging a harried cook who is trying to get breakfast out. Not here! Atmosphere is very relaxing and low-key, yet every need is tended to thoughtfully and professionally. The location is terrific too - just blocks from restuarants and shopping, but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle. We have tried almost all the downtown Sandpoint hotels and a couple in Ponderay and this is a wonderful alternative! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful 'date' weekend, hiking, shopping and sight-seeing and then relaxing at this wonderful quaint bnb!! Friendly helpful innkeepers created delicious breakfasts!!! The home is beautifully restored, we stayed in the first floor room with cute claw-foot tub/shower combo. Very comfortable bed. Would definitly stay again.

Our family had an urgent visit to Sandpoint to visit a gravely ill relative. When I called Calvin for our reservation he was very accomodating and truly sympathetic to our needs. We stayed 5 nights and felt very at home. The breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious and our rooms were very comfortable. Unfortunately, our beloved family member passed away while we were there, but Calvin and Jill were not only the innkeepers, but became very dear friends. I look forward to visiting them again soon.

We just stayed at the Sweet M. We spent the evening sitting on the porch on a beautiful Sandpoint evening. They brought us fresh baked cookies and flowers for our anniversary. The bed was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. This will be a regular stop when we return to Sandpoint.

After a long road trip and driving through town, my daughter spotted this cute B&B, With no reservations we stopped and they welcome us in. Calvin was so nice and showed us the rooms we could choose from. Our next morning breakfast was great. Coffee was even served upstairs next to our room. We had such a relaxing stay, just what we needed to continue our road trip.

Israeli Source: Barak was Ready to Divide Jerusalem
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was willing to consider the possibility of dividing Jerusalem, reported The Jerusalem Post, quoting a senior official aboard his return flight.
Barak returned from the US Wednesday evening to face the nation and explain the failure of the 15-day summit.
Admitting he was disappointed with the outcome of the talks, Barak emphasized that Israel had formally given up nothing and stressed that, at least for the time being, the Palestinians would be getting nothing more from Israel, said the daily.
The source said that US President Bill Clinton's last proposal on Jerusalem, which Barak was ready to accept, but which was rejected by Arafat, involved giving the Palestinians the right to call sections of Jerusalem part of the future Palestinian state, added the daily.
It also included giving Arafat far-reaching administrative authority in most of Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods, allowing several of neighborhoods outside Jerusalem's eastern border to be annexed to the future Palestinian state, and giving Arafat wide religious and civil powers within the Old City.
In return, Barak would have received the right to annex several Jewish settlement blocs near Jerusalem, gained international and Palestinian recognition of Israel's right to the redrawn Jerusalem, and would have also received rights for Jews to pray on the Temple Mount, said the source.
The source added that "logically" all outstanding promises to the Palestinians are now on hold, meaning that there will be no additional land transfers or prisoner releases.
He noted, however, "the proverbial crack in the door is still there," and indicated that talks could be resumed within weeks. But he dismissed the idea of another summit in the near future.
"We found a Palestinian leadership unripe for decisions. Now they will have to do some real thinking about what they stand to lose. Then we will see," he said.
He said the time element is an important factor and that in talks between Barak and both US presidential candidates, the latter made it clear that "after this failure, they would take their time before jumping into the debate."
The source told the daily that following the summit, the Palestinians will not find much empathy for their positions and that most Western nations would refuse to recognize a Palestinian state, if declared unilaterally on September 13th as planned.
In the last meeting between Arafat and Barak, said the official, no mention of September 13th was made, added the daily.
"The sides know the consequences of unilateral actions, and neither wants to let the situation deteriorate into violence," he said - Albawaba.com
