West Branch, playing its first road contest, will visit Crestview, one of the top small-school programs in the region for a non-conference game Friday night at 7.
"We have to execute at a high level against a football program whose kids know how to win," stated West Branch head coach D.J. Dota.
The Warriors (0-1) had their moments offensively in their season opener against the Crestwood Red Devils, but they dropped a 49-26 decision. Crestview (1-0), which finished 11-2 last season and made the playoffs for the ninth time in the last 10 years, graduated several key players from an offense which averaged more than 41 points a game.
"We only have two starters back on offense, so our defense will have to carry us," opined Crestview head coach Paul Cusick.
Crestview's defense staged a goal-line stand late in the fourth quarter of the opener against Beaver Local, stopping a late drive at the 3-yard line. The Rebels survived the march and recorded a 14-7 win.
The Rebels, who rely on quickness and lateral pursuit in their 4-4 defense, are led by senior inside linebackers Cody Mackall (5-foot-10, 180) and Derek Kozlowski (5-8, 180). The secondary features senior free safety Zach Marr (5-10, 180), who missed most of the 2013 season with an ankle injury, and junior defensive back Spencer DeSalvo (5-10, 160).
West Branch will counter with an offense sporting a new look.
"They're running the spread," said Cusick. "They threw the ball more (against Crestwood) than last year and they use more one-back."
The Warriors actually were balanced offensively against the Red Devils. They ran the ball 31 times for 127 yards and quarterback Corey Snyder was 13-of-28 passing for another 179 yards. Kip DeShields, who plays wideout and H-back, had seven catches for 114 yards and one touchdown. Sophomore Rob Lozier rushed for a team-high 56 yards and scored another touchdown.
"We need to be more consistent on offense," said Dota. "We moved the ball well at times and we also stumbled other times."
West Branch's offensive front, led by senior guard Jake Zinni, poses a challenge for Crestview.
"They are bigger than Beaver Local, which had a big offensive line," said Cusick. "We'll have our work cut out for us."
West Branch's defense allowed 530 yards against Crestwood. Linebackers Aaron Mohr (nine tackles) and Justin Stowe (seven tackles) made several plays against an explosive offense, but the unit needs to become more stout.
Crestview also runs the spread offense, which is directed by senior quarterback Jesse Best (6-0, 175), who succeeded Collin Gilbert.
Best led Crestview with 110 rushing yards and scored both touchdowns, including one on a 54-yard jaunt. He also was 7-of-16 passing for 47 yards.
"He has the ability to make plays," said Cusick. "He just needs to grow into the position."
Senior wideout Evan Beechler (6-2, 175) is the most experienced skill-position player and the other returning offensive starter is senior guard Nate Stelts (6-0, 200).
"They're not big, but they're physical," said Dota. "We need to match their physical style of play. We also can't turn the ball over, we can't drop passes and we have to tackle better."

CAMPAIGNING councillor Julia Wassell said health chiefs need to hear from patients before an inquiry into urgent care in the county can be concluded.
A draft report from the county's Urgent Care Inquiry Group was submitted to the Health and Adult Social Care Select Committee this week, and it will now be considered by Buckinghamshire County Council's cabinet after a majority of members approved it.
But Cllr Wassell and three other committee members representing wards in the Wycombe District voted against approving the report.
She said the report, set up in response to the Keogh Review into services, wasn't detailed enough and needed an input from patients using hospitals in the county - particularly those in the Wycombe area, after Accident and Emergency services were axed from Wycombe Hospital in 2011.
Cllr Wassell said a meeting of residents should be held to collate their views - and she said she would organise it herself if Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust didn't.
The Ryemead and Micklefield councillor, whose petition calling for A&E services to be restored to Wycombe was signed by 16,500 people, said: "We want to have a second part of the inquiry in Wycombe. That's very important.
"We've only heard from the Trust managers and clinicians - those who provide the services - but not those who use the services. We haven't heard from any patients, so we argued the inquiry was incomplete. We intend to continue the inquiry in Wycombe.
"I'm disappointed by the recommendations of the inquiry. It hasn't gone far enough. It's just accepting the status quo.
"It says services need to be publicised better but it doesn't say what's wrong with the services."
She added: "After the Keogh report the Trust have made big improvements, it would be churlish to say that they hadn't."
Select Committee chairman Lin Hazell said: "Buckinghamshire has seen a great deal of change in the design and delivery of its urgent care services, and this has naturally been difficult for people to accept without some fear.
"Added to this were the shortcomings revealed in the Keogh Report, which shook people's faith in their local hospitals.
"Despite this, our inquiry has found that the county's urgent care services are designed in the interest of better outcomes for all residents and tailored to the needs of the Buckinghamshire population."

Charges laid in contributory mortgage case, Colonial FS stars, UDC's new rates.
Sunday, February 11th 2001, 4:08PM
The Companies Office has laid civil and criminal charges against three people involved in the Reeves Moses contributory mortgage saga, according to NBR.
The charges, under the Securities Act and the Securities Act (Contributory Mortgage) Regulations, relate to $23.8 million worth of contributory mortgages Reeves Moses put its clients into in 1998.
Brisbane-based Harts Group, which bought Reeves Moses just over a year ago, said previously that a pre-listing internal audit revealed that "a number (of the mortgages) contained breached of the Contributory Mortgage regulations, some of which could have resulted in a loss to contributors."
Harts and the planning firm's former owner, ASB Bank subsidiary Sovereign, spent $23.8 million last year buying investors out of the mortgages.
Colonial First State stars
Morningstar has reinstated the star it took off Colonial First State Investments (CFSI) in May last year.
Back then the research house dropped CFSI's rating from four stars to three following ownership changes and a decision to discontinue its Wellington-based Australiasian equities portfolio manager role.
Colonial's new owners, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, has kept CSFI distinct and run autonomously.
Morningstar says the firm has a competent team working to regenerate and consolidate its business.
New UDC rates
UDC has made some changes to its latest deposit rates.
Its Secured Term Investment rate for one year is 6.05%, and its five year rate is 6.50% (min $25,000).
The Telephone Call Account for sums of more than $100,000 is 6.15%. The rate for $20,000 to $100,000 is 6% and for amounts between $5,000 and $20,000 UDC is paying 5.75%.

Starrh & Starrh Cotton Growers: $10 million in taxpayer subsidies behind the 'tears'
"What Larry Starrh did not explain is that Starrh businesses took over $10 million in subsidies for growing thirsty cotton in Kern County from 1995-2012," Restore the Delta noted. "West Side San Joaquin Valley growers help secure their water through political contributions."
Starrh & Starrh Cotton Growers: $10 million in taxpayer subsidies behind the 'tears'
by Dan Bacher
To understand what is really going on in California water politics, you have to "follow the money."
Restore the Delta, opponents of Governor Jerry Brown's Bay Delta Conservation Plan to build the salmon-killing peripheral tunnels, is doing just this in its series of reports entitled, "INTRODUCING THE TOP 1% WATER TAKERS: Water subsidies, cotton subsidies, and the corporate agribusiness elite 1%"
It turns out those are crying the loudest in the campaign by agribusiness interests to build the twin tunnels and to pump more Delta water south in the drought are corporate mega-farmers who receive millions in taxpayer subsidies.
Starrh & Starrh Cotton Growers, who received $10 million in taxpayer subsidies, exemplify this hypocrisy of the subsidized agribusiness.
"Corporate agribusiness tycoons take taxpayer-subsidized water exported from the Delta and receive taxpayer subsidies for cotton and other crops," according to Restore the Delta (RTD). "Is the cost, plus the harm to the Delta, worth the benefit? Exported water supports a business model that is bad for taxpayers, and antithetical to the hope of a sustainable economy and environment for the Delta and California."
On March 19, 2014, Larry Starrh, co-owner of Starrh Ranch in Shafter, gave "tearful testimony" regarding his need for farm water at the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Field Hearing in Fresno, reported Restore the Delta.
"Shortages that were created and controlled by regulations that have been imposed and brandished like weapons," Starrh claimed. "Sadly, in the real world, water is about power, water is a weapon, water is a hostage."
While giving his testimony, Mr. Starrh talked about his third-generation farm, and how they had to remove 1000 acres of almonds from their 9000 acres of almonds this year due to reduced water deliveries during the drought.
Starrh was one of nine witnesses at a loud House Natural Resources Committee field hearing on California's water crisis convened in the Fresno City Council chambers. He echoed the thoughts of many in the audience about environmental regulations that curb farm water deliveries.
"What Larry Starrh did not explain is that Starrh businesses took over $10 million in subsidies for growing thirsty cotton in Kern County from 1995-2012," RTD noted. "West Side San Joaquin Valley growers help secure their water through political contributions."
RTD revealed that Starrh family members made over $50,000 in political contributions (2012 - 2014), including to many of the Central Valley Congressmen who heard Larry Starrh's testimony on how the Starrhs need "their water."
RTD said, "The Starrhs chose to plant 9000 acres of almonds with exported water on arid, poorly draining land in a state that experiences drought 40% of the time. Fred Starrh complains that they have paid money for water, and the fish paid nothing, forgetting how many millions of Chinook salmon, Sturgeon, Threadfin Shad, and Delta Smelt have been killed by excessive water exports from the Delta. The Starrhs had enough money to make significant political contributions over the last three years partly because they pay for project water that does not cover the cost of the destroyed fisheries."
Star is Director and Founding President of the San Joaquin Valley Quality Cotton Growers Association, the Vice Chairman of the Global Marketing Committee - Cotton Incorporated, a Director of Cotton Incorporated and a Treasurer of Belridge Water Storage District.

In other Delta news, Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, Executive Director, Restore the Delta; Colin Bailey, Executive Director, Environmental Justice Coalition for Water; Bill Jennings, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance; and Osha Meserve, Local Agencies of the North Delta, will provide a teleconference update on harm from Peripheral Tunnels proposed under Governor Jerry Brown's Bay Delta Conservation Plan on Monday, April 7 at 11 am.
They will detail in the teleconference on April 7 "the permanent, significant and unavoidable negative impacts, including the forced relocation of up to 1,000 Contra Costa County residents." RTD also criticizes Sen. Dianne Feinstein's "reckless" bill to ignore long-term good to pump water for mega-growers in drought.
"The Brown Administration admits the tunnels would have '52 Significant and Unavoidable Adverse Impacts' on the Delta region, including permanently degraded groundwater quality, long-term reduction of navigation opportunities, and exposure to air quality in Byron bad enough to require people to move in order to avoid an increased cancer risk," said RTD Executive Director Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla.

While I applaud Dan for posting this,there are several facts that he did not add to the story and which make the political implications even more insidious. Starrh and Starrh have struck a deal to buy over 3,700 acre feet of water from the Buena Vista Water Storage District. They share part of the Buena Vista auction with Paramount Farms, whose owners Stewart and Linda Resnick are closely associated with Sen. Diane Feinstein. That was reported in the Bakersfield Californian on 2/28/2014.
In addition Larry Starrh is on the Board of Directors of the Belridge Water Storage District that actively resells water to Aera Energy LLC for use in fracking of W. Kern / Ventura County wells. Did I mention that the Belridge Board President is William Phillimore, Ex. VP of the same Paramount Farms that shared the proceeds of the Buena Vista water auction. It is a cozy little group, isn't it.

Anoka is a city in Anoka County, Minnesota. The population was 17,142 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat. Anoka is also the "Halloween Capital of the World", because it hosted one of the first Halloween parades in 1920. It continues to celebrate the holiday each year with several parades. Anoka is a northern suburb of the Twin Cities.
U.S. Highways 10 / 169 and State Highway 47 are three of the main routes, and a station on the Northstar Commuter Rail line to downtown Minneapolis is located in the city.
The site which is now Anoka was first settled by immigrants in 1844. By the mid-1850s Anoka had grown to include a school, a store and a flour mill. In 1856, C. C. Andrews described Anoka as a "large and handsome village" and noted that pine logs were floated down the Rum River to sawmills there. The city was formally incorporated in 1878. The name Anoka was derived from two Indian words. The native Dakota used A-NO-KA-TAN-HAN, meaning "on both sides", or "from both sides", referring to its location on the banks of the Rum River. The native Ojibwa used ON-O-KAY, meaning "working waters".
Anoka makes a strong claim for providing the first volunteers to the Union Army during the Civil War, noted by a small historical plaque standing at the corner of West Main Street and Park Street. Alexander Ramsey, Minnesota's governor in 1861, was in Washington, D.C. when Fort Sumter was fired upon. He immediately offered a regiment to the War Department, and telegraphed former governor Willis Gorman and Lieutenant Governor Ignatius L. Donnelly that same morning. Gorman, attending a district court session in Anoka, received the note by messenger from St. Paul and called a court recess, asking for volunteers. Aaron Greenwald, who has an "island" named after him on Lake George, and five others stepped forward; Greenwald was the first to sign. He died July 2, 1863, during the 1st Minnesota Regiment's famous charge at Gettysburg.

Seneca Spring
by Harvey A. Duze
About the Book
Third in series of four books of my ongoing project to document Little Seneca Lake, Lake Churchill and the surrounding residential and parkland habitats in Germantown, Maryland.
Next to Fall, Spring is my favorite season, due in part to the dramatic changes which occur. The earth seems to be awakening from its long winter sleep, and soon with the flowers, new leaves and increase in the activities of the animals and birds who live here, new life is everywhere.
(Note: Other books in this series, "Seneca Summer," "Seneca Fall" and "Seneca Winter" are also available to preview and purchase on this Web site.)

Victory is Sweet is an online game that can be found on its' own individual webpage. The link to the game is found on an advertisement spot on the official Hasbro's Transformers website.
The player takes control of Bumblebee in first-player mode. He must destroy three beacons while fighting numerous Decepticon drones. The final boss is Starscream at the final level, where you switch to Optimus Prime. There are 7 levels in total.
- Regular shooters: they are the weakest weapon yet. You begin with regular shooters at the first level. They do not ever run out of ammunition.
- Rocket shooters: average firepower that shoots out rockets. they run out slowly.
- Plasma cannon: the best weapon that shoots out green-colored bursts of plasma. they run out quickly.
You can collect Push-Pops and candy rings for bonus points. This is a reference to the game's title.
- The game is highly similar to the Call of Duty series.
- The player chooses either to transform or stay in robot or vehicle mode. Vehicle mode's benefit is speed, and robot mode's benefit is the ability to shoot. You cannot however transform as Optimus Prime.
- There are gas tanks either connected to trucks or stored in containers scattered across the game in every level. If the player shoots at them, then they explode and if the player is near the explosion, will get deduction in energy.
- There is a count of how many enemies you kill in a row without dying on a chart at the top left corner called Multi.
- The beacons are most likely a reference to the space bridge pillars in the Dark of the Moon film.

GCI: How has fragrance marketing changed over the last decade, and how does a supplier or marketer anticipate the changes to come in order to continue helping brands to successfully market fragrances?
Judith Gross: There have been several major changes, and IFF has not only accompanied our customers in handling those changes, but sometimes has helped them anticipate the changes that were to come. One of the major elements that has changed in the marketing of fragrance is the explosion—in terms of the number of launches—with the constant need for newness on the market and the constant desire expressed by consumers, expressed by distribution, expressed by brands themselves to constantly have new propositions.
Another extremely important trend has been over the last 15 years, the increasing globalization, as well as [the] increasing concentration of our customers, which has led to the need for increased differentiation. And when that's combined with more and more launches, differentiation becomes more and more difficult. So, IFF has anticipated and tried to give as many [options] as possible to its customers. IFF is a company that doesn't simply manufacture fragrances, it's a company that creates fragrances while understanding the emotional impact that fragrances have on consumers. Because when you think about it, sure you might go to a fragrance because of the brand. You might fall for an advertising campaign. You might think a bottle is gorgeous, but the reason—year after year—that you're actually going to repurchase that fragrance and put it on your skin is because there's an emotional connection that exists there, which you don't find anywhere else. And if you don't have that emotional connection—however good the advertising, the bottle, the color, the model, etc.—it just won't work.
Marcy Fisher: So much has changed, yet the concept has remained constant—as marketers we must engage and excite our consumers ... the challenge for us is that she/he has many fragrance options and so many more places to learn about product. As marketers, we need to stay ahead of the curve to reach our consumers with new media, innovative product technology and intriguing product presentation.

South Fayette students' program redefines the flashcard
Three South Fayette High School students want to change the definition of the flashcard.
Ben Kenawell, Radhir Kothuri and Varun Thangavelu started a flashcard program they say will enhance students' learning. When their work is complete, students will be able to answer computer-based flashcards by writing answers on a tablet computer.
The project's focus is on creating educational software, said Kenawell, 17, a team manager. The target audience so far is students in kindergarten to second grade.
Still, "The possibilities of that application can go anywhere," Kothuri said. "I can use that for my calculus class, or a kindergarten student can use it to learn the alphabet."
This isn't just a science project for the group. Over the summer, they showed it at the Workshop on the Impact of Pen & Touch Technology on Education conference at Pepperdine University in California.
They hope to market the product to businesses by Nov. 30.
Carnegie Mellon University computer science Professor Ananda Gunawardena helped with the project. With his expertise, the team made the flashcards more user-friendly.
Team adviser Aileen Owens said the software program's ability to notice a student's weakness makes it unique.
"Teachers can create a series of flashcards for students who are struggling in class," Owens said. "They designed them so that if a student gets (a question) wrong, it appears randomly in the deck so the student has to answer it again."
Making the code for the project was a grueling task, team members said, but they embraced the challenge.
"Working at 2 in the morning, trying to code, I just got a big smile on my face when it finally worked," Kothuri said.
Sarah Hertzler, 16, took on graphic designing for the project.
"I've always had a thing for technology," she said. "I kind of wanted to get involved and make it look prettier, so that when they actually tried to sell it people would want to buy it."
Sam Cohen, 14, a freshman, focused on research and development, importing Microsoft Word documents, audio and video into the program.
Breanna McCann, 13, was in charge of public relations, and obtaining tablets. She hopes to get Windows 8 RT tablets on which to run tests, through a grant application to Best Buy.
Still, the future of the program isn't certain.
Thangavelu left for the University of Illinois. Seniors Kenawell and Kothuri graduate at the end of the school year. They are confident their successors will get the job done.
"We wanted a way to hand over something to the middle school students, so they could continue beyond the flashcards," Kothuri said.
The next step is refining the program, and beginning a new set of trials. "We want to see it deeply engraved into South Fayette," Kothuri said.

Day Care Deal
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: President Clinton laid out his child care proposal this way at the White House this afternoon.
PRESIDENT CLINTON: I don't believe I have ever talked to a parent who was also in the workplace who has not been able to cite at least one example, and oftentimes many, many more, of a conflict between–that he or she felt between the obligations of parenthood and the obligations to the job.
Today, I am proud to propose the single largest national commitment to child care in the history of the United States. Now, this new proposal has three fundamental goals:
First, to make child care more affordable and available to all Americans, with increased block grants to states, we will double the number of children receiving child care subsidies to more than 2 million; we also will help more than 3 million working families to meet their child care expenses by dramatically expanding the child care tax credit.
These tax credits will mean that a family of four making $35,000 and saddled with high child care bills will no longer pay one penny in federal income taxes. I'm also supporting new tax credits to encourage more businesses to provide child care for their employees.
Second, we must make sure that every child has a safe and enriching place to go after school. I am proposing the expansion of before and after school programs to help some 500,000 children say no to drugs and alcohol and crime and yes to reading, soccer, computers, and a brighter future for themselves.
Third, we have to improve the safety and quality of child care and make sure that child care advances early childhood development. I'm proposing an early learning fund to help to reduce child to staff ratios in child care centers, train child care workers, and educate parents. We have to also strengthen the enforcement of state codes and licensing requirements.
A lot of us have had our own experiences with child care. I've often wondered how my mother, when she was widowed, would have been able to go back to school if I hadn't been able to move in with my grandparents. I was lucky, and it turned out reasonably well for me. (laughter in audience)
But how many children are out there with exactly the same potential who never got the same break by pure accident of family circumstance? You don't know the answer to that, and neither do I. But we know what the answer should be. The answer should be not a single one.
JIM LEHRER: With us now are Rahm Emanuel, senior adviser to the President, and Wade Horn, commissioner for children, youth, and families in the Bush administration, now president of the National Fatherhood Initiative to improve the involvement of fathers in children's lives. Mr. Horn, in general, what do you think of the President's proposal?
WADE HORN, National Fatherhood Initiative: Well, the package sounds good. It kind of reminds me of those toys as a kids I used to see advertised in the back of comic books where it sounds wonderful, but when you finally get it and you unpackage that toy, it doesn't quite live up to the expectations of the advertisement. And that's the way it is with this package.
Certainly, it sounds good. I mean, who can be against the idea of increasing the affordability and quality of child care? But there are some fundamental problems with this package. First of all, this package ignores the fact that there are in fact, millions and millions of families where there is a parent who foregoes earnings in order to stay home and raise their children. And this package does nothing for them. In fact, it shifts the tax burden onto those stay-at-home parents.
JIM LEHRER: In what way does it do that?
WADE HORN: Well, it does that because what it does is it provides a subsidy for one particular kind of child care choice. What it says, if you choose to go into the labor force and to put your kid in child care, we'll give you a subsidy. But the tax to pay for that is spread among all the families in America. And so, if you, in fact, keep your–if you stay at home to raise your child, yourself–
JIM LEHRER: Either parent stays home–
WADE HORN: That's right.
JIM LEHRER: –they're not affected by this.
WADE HORN: Well, it does proportionately increase the tax burden on that family.
JIM LEHRER: I see.
WADE HORN: The second problem with this is it doesn't address the fundamental problem that most families talk about in America today. It's not that most parents are saying, gee, I wish I could afford to spend, you know, to make sure my kid spends more time in child care. What families are saying is, I wish I could afford to spend more time with my kids, my own children. And this package really doesn't do anything to address that.
JIM LEHRER: What about that, the last question first. This does not address the basic thing that everybody wants, which is to spend more time with their children, rather than less.
RAHM EMANUEL, Senior White House Adviser: Well, I think what this does address is the competing demands that parents face between work and family. And when both parents work, they have to make choices. And let me bring up the second point that Wade asked. We, in fact, have done a great deal of things to help parents when it comes to the one parent deciding to stay home and one work.
There was expansion of the earned income tax credit to help families make their paychecks stretch from paycheck to paycheck after a great deal of Republican opposition. We did the $500 per child family tax credit, which is going into effect this year. We did and passed after six years of opposition by Republicans the Family & Medical Leave Act, so a parent could stay home with a child. We also did a raise in the minimum wage for 7 million people who are the single worker in that family, breadwinner.
That was a big pay increase against a great deal of opposition from some quarters. So we have done a great deal, and there is more to do when it's only one person working. But there are a lot of families–and it's a reality today–you just can't walk away from that reality–that people–both–in certain homes two people are working and they don't have to choose between being good workers and good parents, and this gives them good, safe, affordable, accessible child care.
And parents make those choices every day, and this is ensuring that they have that affordable and accessible child care that's safe and high quality.
JIM LEHRER: Do you choose–Mr. Horn, do you choose the basic premise that there is a need for child care for some families who, for whatever reason, cannot stay at home?
WADE HORN: Well, certainly there's a need for child care for some families. I mean, take, for example, welfare reform. We're moving a lot of mostly single mother-headed families into the pay labor force. But there's already a great deal of money available to provide child care subsidies for them. In the 1996 child welfare legislation there's $30 billion, including $4 billion of new money for child care subsidies for that population. My goodness, even here in Washington $30 billion is a lot of money.
JIM LEHRER: In fact, Congressman Clay Shaw, who's chairman of the subcommittee that oversees this in the House, said that very thing today; that he wanted to see how this other earlier money is spent on child care before he passes on this.
RAHM EMANUEL: The favorite part of this interview is I keep having to have a rendezvous–Wade to have a rendezvous with history, which is one of the big things we pushed in that welfare bill was an expansion of child care resources because Republicans opposed it. So I appreciate now that everybody wants to champion the child care resources that are in the welfare bill.
Second, is when it comes to this proposal on child care, you have a situation that for working families, that is, people in the middle class, child care represents a greater portion of the family budget than those in the high income brackets. And this package, whether it's a tax credit, whether it's a tax credit to businesses, tax credit to families, whether it's a block grant to states, targets those very precious resources to those families where child care costs today represent a bigger portion of the family budget.
JIM LEHRER: And that's based on the premise–not the premise–the reality that whether you have a lot of money, or whether you have a little money, you're basically going to pay the same amount of money for child care. You don't challenge that, do you, Mr. Horn?
WADE HORN: Actually, that's not quite true because actually when you look at people who access child care and where child care is most accessible, it's most accessible to those who are very affluent and those that are very, very poor. We have Head Start. We have a lot of money, $11 billion a year already that's going to child care subsidies. But the point here is this: Why not take this $21 billion? And rather than saying this is how we're going to spend your money, the taxpayer's money, let's give tax breaks to families, give them real choice, so that those families can either choose to go to work, put their kids in child care, use that money to do that, or to use that money to stay home and raise their children.
JIM LEHRER: And not have a federal program like the President proposes?
WADE HORN: That's right. I mean, it's much, much easier to do it that way.
JIM LEHRER: All right.
RAHM EMANUEL: Two points. One, this isn't a federal program. It's a tax credit to individual families, individual businesses, or for communities to set up. It's not a new federal program at all created here.
JIM LEHRER: It's an expansion of an existing program?
RAHM EMANUEL: Yes. And it was actually supported by Ronald Reagan and George Bush, and that's why the Republicans in the East Wing today were supportive. This has bipartisan support. Second, I believe in those type of tax credits, and we wish we had had support from the Republican Party when it came to expanding the earned income tax credit, which helped working families get about a $2100 tax break. Third, when it came to the minimum wage and giving a raise, we would have loved to have had the support of the Republican Party, not the opposition to that, which directly affected the bottom line family budget. And fourth, when it came to the $500 per child, making sure middle class families and working families get that resources and that tax credit, we fought hard against the Republicans, who wanted to deny that. So I appreciate now the commitment that the Republican Party at least represented here by Wade, who wants to make sure families get that credit. This represents a specific need to middle class families. We did a study–there was a study done by the President's economic advisers to the high income people, child care costs represent 7 percent of their family budget. To middle and working middle class families, child care costs represent 18 percent of the family budget costs. It's a larger–
JIM LEHRER: And what you want to do with this program is reduce it–is close that gap?
RAHM EMANUEL: Basically help a family on the resources to make sure they can have affordable, accessible, high quality child care.
JIM LEHRER: Do you have a problem with that?
WADE HORN: I think that the issue really is about choice. Why is it that so many middle income families feel a need to put two adults into the paid labor force? And one of the reasons for that, or the big reason for it is the extraordinary high tax rate, the high tax burden that families pay. Let's use this money to lessen that tax burden on families so they have two choices. They can choose to go to the paid labor force. My goodness, I'm not stopping–anyone can go into the paid labor force, and there ought to be good child care available for those who make those choices, but it seems to me what we ought to do is focus on choice, allow families to make the choice to go into the paid labor force or stay home and raise their own children. And the best way to do that is by lessening the tax burden on the family, not by subsidizing one particular kind of child care choice.
RAHM EMANUEL: Two things: One, I agree. That's why we have a targeted tax credit called the child care tax credit, which was supported by Ronald Reagan and George Bush. We're expanding it. I agree with you. It's a targeted tax credit for child care. Second is some people make choices, and some people have to have both parents working, and where both parents are working, or a single home, a single working–a family with a single parent, this is the type of resources they need and the type of support they need, and doesn't create another federal bureaucracy. It's a targeted way of doing it, being a targeted specific need, so people could be good parents and good workers.
JIM LEHRER: A lot of people have been saying today that this particular plan is one of the most important, if not "the" single most important domestic proposal that President Clinton has on his plate from now to the end of his term. Is that correct? Is that a correct characterization of this?
RAHM EMANUEL: Well, this, in combination with–I would say what we want to do on education and what we want to do in the area of health care. There is no doubt, this one of the prime and top priorities the President has. It builds on the record he has set with the expansions and the earned income tax credit, the expansion and creation of insuring 5 million uninsured children, the family medical leave–Hope Scholarship, which is for community college and the first two years of education there, as well as in the minimum wage. It's another piece of the brick and mortar for those hard-pressed working families to make sure that they can be able to make their paychecks stretch.
JIM LEHRER: But just as a matter of priorities, how important is child care in all of those things you've just mentioned?
RAHM EMANUEL: Top. I'm not going to put a Roman numeral–I don't think that's my job. He does that. The President does that. I would just say it is in the top.
JIM LEHRER: It's in the top.
RAHM EMANUEL: The top five.
JIM LEHRER: All right. Mr. Horn, where's this going in the Republican Congress?
WADE HORN: Well, it's unclear exactly where it's going to go. I mean, the full plan has not yet been delivered to the Republican Congress.
JIM LEHRER: But based on what you know about it, what do you think is going to happen–
WADE HORN: I think there's going to be a very, very strong voice within Congress, a very strong sentiment that what we ought to do is make sure that there's more money in the family budget than not making sure that there's more money in the child care budget. And that's going to be, I think, a very important aspect of the Republican agenda.
JIM LEHRER: Philosophically, Mr. Shaw, Congressman Shaw, who I mentioned a moment ago, was quoted today as saying, the President seems to be proposing a new program almost every day now; maybe the era of big government is not over after all. Are you going to have to fight that problem?
RAHM EMANUEL: Well, we–
JIM LEHRER: That perception?
RAHM EMANUEL: We accelerated the date in which you are going to have a balanced budget in this country, and that's been accelerated by three years, in 1999. And so we're going to have a balanced budget. It also reflects our values, and I think one of the things that the President's done to change the way and bring a new way to Washington and to the way we just basically come up with our budget in this country is that you can have a balanced budget that increases investments in the areas of education, health care, child care, environment. And–in fact, I'm excited by the fact that while we have a balanced budget, we could expand Medicare; while we have a balanced budget, you can expand child care. And that's, in fact, we're being very fiscally responsible.
JIM LEHRER: Mr. Horn.
WADE HORN: This is the basic difference between Republicans and Democrats.
JIM LEHRER: That's why I asked the question.
WADE HORN: Democrats see the budget coming in balance, and they think, ah ha, we can spend more money on social programs. Republicans take a look at a declining budget deficit and they say, my goodness, what this gives us an opportunity to do is to provide tax relief for families.
JIM LEHRER: Not to build up the child care system.
WADE HORN: Not to expand government spending but to, in fact, give relief to the family budget.
RAHM EMANUEL: One last–
JIM LEHRER: We have to go. Thank you both very much.

DishTV guide says Kacie B is going to be on Ellen today.
DishTV guide says Kacie B is going to be on Ellen today.
it makes sense to me that they would end up dating others within that same bachelor/ette circle. I mean for the most part they're all single and looking for ...... whatever. (lust, 15 min of fame, hook-up, etc.) I'm so glad I'm too old for that cr&p!
I guess I forget that people have money to burn and think nothing of flying to locations for various meet-ups. To me it is so expensive to travel to these things to get together with a bunch of people you probably would never have chosen to hang around if not for the show.
That was a great message! And I've had a terrible day, so thank you.I love random acts of kindness.Really, realy appreciated.Scott- RIP SDL<3
LOL! how true is that! thanks for the fixI just wish they wouldn't date in that same tired bachelor [cess]pool
There...fixed if for ya.
Again it amazes me how you make someone the Bachelor and every girl falls for him. I don't think someone as pretty and sweet as Kacie B would fall for Ben in real life. I mean when I first saw Ben I thought he looked like an ape. And I thought maybe he had a good personality but really he's dumb and cocky and weird. When I think back to how he reacted when Ashley dumped him then I guess I can see him with Courtney.
On the TVGuide website there is also an interview with Chris H where he talks about the WTA. I would love to discuss it, but I am afraid that some of it would be considered a spoiler.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - One will start, both will play. And when the season opener is over, No. 23 Florida probably will decide between the two.
Offensive coordinator Brent Pease says he's not sure the team's two-quarterback system is sustainable beyond Saturday's game against Bowling Green, meaning the Gators likely will choose between Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel before traveling to Texas A&M for the Southeastern Conference opener.
Pease says, "It depends how they play, I guess, and what they create."
The sophomores have battled for the starting job since spring practice. Coach Will Muschamp says each will play a quarter in the first half Saturday, and then the coaches will decide how to progress after halftime.

PORT ST. JOHN, Fla. - A Space Coast Junior/Senior High School student got a special surprise at her Senior Breakfast Friday morning--a reunion by her stepfather, who is deployed in Afghanistan with the U.S. Navy.
2nd-Class Boatsmate Eric Besveld has spent the past nine months stationed in Afghanistan, but says he refused to miss the graduation of his stepdaughter, 18-year-old Alesha Tackett.
"I wanted to do something special," Besveld told Local 6. "I didn't want to miss it."
Tackett, who plans to attend Florida Gulf Coast University, was at her Senior Breakfast Friday morning when she was served by her stepfather.
When asked what it felt like to see her stepfather surprising her for graduation, Tackett said she felt "surprised, excited and happy."
Besveld will watch Tackett graduate at 7 p.m. Friday before return to Afghanistan Sunday for a week. He will then come back home from active duty to the Navy Reserves.

did you mean you wanted to make a cosplay into a lolita? Sorry i'm confused.
If you're looking for a good place to buy lolita clothing and shoes please keep in mind that lolita isn't cheap. If you're buying offbrand you are still looking at 50 bucks a dress unless you find something used. Just don't get your heart broken by prices :/ Bodyline is a great starter for lolita, its considered the walmart of lolita. The pieces they sell are good quality and their shoes are worth looking at. Also the EGL Comm Sales on livejournal are a good place to start. Be aware though that replica's are now illegal so if you want a certain print it won't be available in replica form. Also facebook has a page called lolita sales in english. There you can post wtb for just about anything.
i really hope that this helps in some way, also i would suggest mintymix.com for wigs, they are a good price and very comfy to wear. Just beware of Milannoo or shops that sell lolita as cosplay. These sites are generally very cheaply made and not worth your money.

The evacuation capacity has improved with the charging of a shared 1,000MW Raipur-Wardha transmission line in January 2013, and PLFs for the 3 commissioned units are expected to be around 50% in Q4 FY2013. The fourth unit is currently under trial run, and is expected to be stabilised by the end of the current quarter.Power sales at the Balco 270 MW plant were 28% lower in Q3 due to similar evacuation constraints. In spite of lower sales realisation, EBITDA for Q3 was marginally higher due to lower power generation cost at SEL. Work at the Talwandi Sabo power project is progressing well and the first unit is expected to be synchronized in Q2 FY2014. Port Projects In October 2010, we had been awarded a 30-year concession to upgrade the coal berth at Vishakhapatnam Port to 10.18mtpa (Coal Berth mechanization project) and operate it. This is being implemented at a total project cost of $150mn through Vizag General Cargo Berth Private Limited (VGCB), a 74:26 joint venture between Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd. and Leighton Welspun Contractors Private Ltd.

Brad And Emily, And Other "Bachelor" Couples Who Were Over Before "After The Final Rose" Even Aired
Last night's season finale of "The Bachelor" was an incredible letdown. I felt pretty sure a few weeks back, when Brad Womack and Emily Maynard landed on their own private island and he broke into hives while trying to tell her how much he cared about her, that Emily would be his choice in the end. As expected, Brad let Chantal go in a burst of tears and then got down on one knee and slipped a big, glittering diamond on Emily's finger. "I've wanted to tell you I've loved you for so long," he said, before telling her she's "the one." Big duh.
But then came the "After the Final Rose" ceremony. And all I can say was that, man, was it uncomfortable to watch.
We could have guessed that after convo the two had the night before Brad proposed. Brad was incredibly sweet telling Emily how much he wanted to be Ricky's dad. But when she repeatedly tried to explain to him that it's not as easy as just snapping your fingers and going to a few school plays, he got irate—very ?"how could you insult me?" instead of "I know there's a lot I'll need to learn."? Still, I was pretty shocked at how things turned out.
But these two are hardly the first "Bachelor" couple to barely make it off the ground. Here, some more Bachelor couples who were over before the "After the Final Rose" special even aired. And yes, that's just minutes after America watched a proposal go down.
In the most awkward "After the Final Rose" ceremony ever, Jason Mesnick dumped the woman he proposed to on the show—Melissa—because "the chemistry changed." Instead, he begged runner-up Molly Melany to take him back. The two are now married.
There was no "After the Final Rose" special at this point in "Bachelor" history, but in season 8, Travis Stork admitted that he and Sarah Stone had already broken up in his first interview, just a week after his finale aired. "You're in Paris and you're part of this incredible experience, this fantasy world, and then suddenly you come back to Nashville, and living in the same city I think we thought was going to be a great thing," he said. "But instead, you're forced to pretend you don't know someone, for essentially the last four months. The reality is that we were in this fantasy world." [Reality TV World]
The second "Bachelor" couple—Aaron Buerge and Helen Eksterowicz—broke up before their season even finished airing. Both of them agreed to do interviews for a special, but Helene insisted they be done separately. Aaron said, "I have nothing bad to say about her and I don't want different accounts of my story turning into rumors. Do it one time on national TV, and everybody will know it's cut and dry, and what was said and what wasn't said." [Reality News Online]
It's true, the lifespan of a "Bachelor" couple just isn't that long—but these were the shortest of the short. I give Brad and Emily a week before they announce their definitive split.
UPDATE: A source has told PopEater that the couple has broken up for real this time, though Brad and Emily haven't confirmed or denied as of yet. [PopEater]

Property taxes, school funding discussed at community meeting
PRESCOTT - Over 80 people attended Monday's night community meeting at Prescott High School to discuss among other topics school funding, property taxes and economic development.
The question and answer session, which lasted over an hour, featured speakers State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, Rep. Kitty Rhoades and Gov. Doyle's representative for the Northern region, Bryce Luchterhand.
School funding and property taxes dominated the session since the two are hand-in-hand. Prescott, like many school districts in this state, is in financial doubt and seeking a referendum.
"There has to be a general reorganization of school financing in the state of Wisconsin," Luchterhand said. "School funding is based almost solely on property values and state aid is attributed to property values. School funding has to be changed in the state."

Dry weather benefiting some local businesses
TRINIDAD- The spike in winter wildfires may be due to the unusually dry weather conditions, but the lack of rain fall isn't all bad news.
Today, we talked to people in local businesses who say the weather has helped them. The National Weather Service confirms 2013 was the driest year on record in Eureka, with similar conditions throughout the North Coast. In Trinidad, business owners say more people have been eating at their restaurants than any normal winter.
"With the weather being so nice, this December has been very good for our business because people are coming to the beach and going kayaking or to beach combing," said Erica Ervin, who works at Seascape Restaurant.
"Definitely for Trinidad, whenever it's sunny out, everybody comes to Trinidad to enjoy the beautiful beaches and hopefully stop at the lighthouse grill to eat," said Amy Schiava, who works at The Lighthouse Grill.

In much recent news it was revealed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has started to focus on training exercises in order to prepare industries from cyber attacks. The Department is now offering industries the methods on how to deal with (cyber) intrusions, more specifically to their computer network. Striking a partnership with Idaho National Laboratory, DHS has offered several cyber attack training programs geared towards cyber security for different industries.
The New Initiative
The DHS has been alarmed of the different cases of cyber attacks over the past years that they conduct training exercises under real life scenarios at least once a month. The program is aimed to improve awareness and train personnel on how to deal with real cyber attacks. There are different sectors that already attended this program. From the oil industry to transport sector, the DHS opened its doors for the different groups to learn and to intensify their cyber security status. During media day, DHS demonstrated a 2 hour demonstration of a 12 hour exercise. The scenario presented was industrial espionage. The fictitious company, ACME developed a new chemical and Barney Advanced Domestic (another fictitious company) tried to steal its product and disrupted its operation. The scenario played out when the CEO of ACME received an Email saying click here. The one playing the role of the hacker is a personnel working form the Idaho National Laboratory.
What does DHS intent to do?
The aim of DHS in their program is not only to strengthen systems but also to improve people's reaction to dubious emails that could find fault in your computer's security. According to the DHS senior official, there is a need to improve as the adversities improve when it comes to cyber security. In one of his interviews, the Director of the DHS Control Systems Security Program, Marty Edwards mentioned that this game is aimed on how to implement defenses amidst attacks in an industrial control environment. Senior official of DHS further added that "They figure out ways to get the defenses that you deploy". This prompted the DHS to continuously evolve their ways on a regular basis in order to cope with the methodologies applied by the hackers. For the officials, they see this search for improvement an ongoing battle.
The Bottom Line: Money Vs Security
Though the government agencies are affected by the recent budget cuts, according to Greg Schaffer, "As budgets becoming tighter, prioritizing taking action for cyber security within other parts of the government is something we have to be vigilant about advocating for". He even added that looking into parts of the government not involved in cyber security is among the top of their concerns.
VPN – A Safer Option To Switch To
Increasingly more and more organizations are taking steps towards implementing a safe and secure information exchange system. In order to save the costs, another option the organizations use is the VPN. Virtual Private Networks not only safeguard the privacy on the Internet but also enable safe and secure browsing, thus eliminating the risk to any kind of cyber attack. In sum, there is no end to what all we can do to ensure security of our data and it is our responsibility to get the best VPN service and minimize the risks as much as we can.

The Hanoitimes - Vietnamese Buddhism is a religion of patriotism, said Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan at a grand ceremony to mark the 2556th birthday of Lord Buddha, which was held in Hanoi on May 5 by the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) Central Committee.
The Hanoitimes - Vietnamese Buddhism is a religion of patriotism, said Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan at a grand ceremony to mark the 2556th birthday of Lord Buddha, which was held in Hanoi on May 5 by the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) Central Committee.
On behalf of the VBS Executive Council's Standing Committee, Most Venerable Thich Pho Tue sent a congratulatory message to Buddhist dignitaries, monks, nuns and followers in Vietnam and abroad.
The message announced that the VBS has organized a congress for all levels to prepare for the 7th National Buddhist Congress scheduled for later this year. The meeting aims to review the achievements and weaknesses, and draw lessons from implementing resolutions and Buddhist-related activities in the previous term to improve efficiency in the next term.
It also highlighted the need to reinforce solidarity and reconciliation in line with the VBS Charter and State laws to help ensure future achievements.
Deputy PM Nhan extended his best wishes for good health and happiness to all Buddhist dignitaries and followers at home and abroad.
In his speech, Mr Nhan said Buddha's birthday is one of the most important events in Vietnamese Buddhism and reminds every Buddhist follower of their profound philosophy of life. The 2000-year history of Vietnamese Buddhism has included many renowned Buddhists with a fine reputation during their lives, said Mr Nhan.
The Deputy PM praised the significant achievements the VBS has recorded in recent years, as well as its active participation in humanitarian activities and poverty reduction, showing that Vietnamese Buddhism has always been a patriotic religion throughout the nation's history.
The Party and State always respect and ensure people's rights to their beliefs and religions in line with the national laws.
He also said he believes the VBS and its followers across the country and overseas will continue to uphold the traditions of Vietnamese Buddhism and contribute to national construction and defence.

At the very least, you are surely less resistant to making reasonable cuts in the Pentagon budget. Over the last few months, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has been spouting hyperbole about the supposed dangers of cutting the bloated military budget, saying cuts would turn the dominant US military into a "paper tiger" and would spell "doomsday" for our national defense.
The New York Times reported, however, that the Pentagon hadn't even made contingency plans for cuts because they were afraid they would leak to the media and prove that it is in fact perfectly reasonable to make significant cuts to the Pentagon's budget. The experts in the Sustainable Defense Task Force managed to identify nearly a trillion dollars that could be cut in the next decade without detrimental effects on US security. (You can read our recommendations to the deficit super committee here.)
Today the New York Times has a new tool that gives you the opportunity to show just how doable it is to cut $450 billion from the Pentagon budget. Do you think you can do better than Leon Panetta in finding waste in the Pentagon budget? Click here to use the tool and find out.
