The tax bill now likely to emerge from Congress will include less than $100 billion in tax relief over five years. This is particularly disappointing, given the need and opportunity for a major tax cut. Federal revenues are approaching a peacetime high of 21 percent as a proportion of economic output, up two percentage points since Bill Clinton was elected President. Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office, which one year ago estimated the five-year deficit to be over $70 billion, now projects a surplus of over $270 billion, which represents a swing of $340 billion largely from higher tax receipts.
Americans need a refund of the huge and unexpected tax windfall now being received by the Internal Revenue Service. Lawmakers need to consider a tax cut package more in line with the $1.3 trillion tax cut--in today's dollars and gross domestic product (GDP)--proposed by House Democrats in 1981 as an alternative to the Reagan tax package, rather than the modest cut they are considering. If they are not prepared to consider it during this Congress, they should set their sights on the next.
Candidates and lawmakers who are committed to a serious reduction in today's record tax burden thus should design a tax plan that truly would herald the "end of big government" and begin real reforms of the tax system and Social Security. Analysts at The Heritage Foundation have developed such a plan. It would:
Create worker-owned retirement accounts funded by five percentage points of the current payroll tax.
Completely repeal the marriage penalty.
Cut the long-term capital gains tax to 10 percent and reform the "holding" rules that have added to the complexity of tax returns.
Expand "back-ended" education IRAs to all levels of education, including K-12 and plans offered by private and state institutions of higher education.
Repeal "rollover" limits on Section 125 health plans.
Repeal the death taxes.
Provide a $500 tax credit for pre-school children.
According to an analysis of these tax provisions, adopting the Heritage plan would return $314 billion in income and death taxes to Americans, and $895 billion in payroll taxes, over the next five years. Using the respected WEFA Group U.S. Macroeconomic model, Heritage analysts project that these tax cuts would generate an average $10,312 in additional income for each household over the period. They also would lead to over half a million more jobs by the end of the period and an increase of more than $1 trillion in the wealth of American families as the private savings rate nearly doubles.
The Heritage tax cut plan not only would return unanticipated tax revenue to the families who earned that money, but also would trigger faster income and job growth, allow all workers to open private retirement accounts, and cut future government debt.
The Social Security tax reduction would permit typical workers to place thousands of extra dollars into private retirement plans that earn far higher returns than Social Security provides. In making that choice, workers would forego the portion of Social Security pension benefits associated with their reduced payroll taxes in exchange for income from their Private Savings Accounts. It is important to note that workers would still receive partial income benefits and full insurance benefits. Those forgone Social Security pension benefits would reduce the unfunded liabilities of the Social Security trust fund by $21.4 billion.
Taken together, the reduced liabilities in Social Security and the reduced tax revenues would result in a net reduction in the projected future liabilities of the federal government (measured in today's "present value" dollars) of over $15.5 trillion. ("Present value" is an accounting term that measures how much money would need to be invested today to finance future obligations.) These liabilities include the national debt and the projected unfunded liabilities of Social Security from 1999 to 2075.
This Congress seems poised to return only a small portion of the unexpected tax revenues now surging into the IRS and to make only small reforms in the tax system--with no reforms in Social Security. It is time now for lawmakers and congressional candidates to begin designing the framework for real tax reform and major tax reduction in the next Congress.

Sofles "Infinite" Mind-Blowing Graffiti Time-Lapse
Probably the sickest graffiti time-lapse video to date, Selina Miles documents graffiti writer Sofles as he paints piece after piece transforming a warehouse into his personal gallery.
This video is f*cking sick! Prepare for your mind to be blown. Australian graffiti writer Sofles goes to town rocking pieces, throwies, and wild style burners, transforming a ruinous warehouse into the veritable gallery of his work. The artist exhibits style, technique and versatility, proving that he can bang out solid straight letters on par with the best, even though he often chooses to break from the conventional with his more experimental pieces.
Just as impressive as the artist's skills is the cinematography, flipping ones expectations of a time-lapse video. Even if you don't give two sh*ts about graffiti, this video by Selina Miles for Ironlak will blow your mind. Seriously, take 4 minutes to check it out for yourself and tell me if I'm wrong.

There is a new movie in the works and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Will Smith[/lastfm] is in talks to star in it as a freed slave. Also in mind to have a role in the new film is Samuel L. Jackson.
According to our free press folks at Hiphiopwired.com:
Will Smith is in talks to star in a new Quentin Tarantino film which will have him clash with actor Samuel L Jackson.
The rapper-turned-actor is in talks to star in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming spaghetti Western film Django Unchained.
With Louisiana as a forerunner for the shooting location, Django will follow Smith's title role as a "freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey which will see him team up with a German bounty hunter to take down an evil plantation owner."
The film, which begins production in the fall, also may include Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz in key roles.
Jackson is in talks to play Monsieur Calvin Candie, a villain who is also a slave and clashes with Django throughout the movie.
According to various reports, Tarantino has requested Smith to star in the flick, based on a script that he penned himself with Will in mind.
When this move does finally hit the theaters…It should be very interesting to see how far they go with the language used in the film. We all know about the "N" word being a normal part of the language of that era.

Reproducing in front of our eyes are solar-powered parking meters in New York City, requiring only ambient light to charge up their trusty old-school non-exploding sealed lead acid batteries inside. What better application of solar energy than a parking meter? But then, didn't parking meters work well enough as mechanical devices before?
Well, these are "Muni-Meters," doing their stuff all electronic-like. Maybe that's important for the largest operator of street parking facilities in the United States, New York City, with its 110,000 parking spaces. We're just looking forward to the day when you can use credit cards with parking meters, something the city is currently evaluating with 200 machines in Manhattan. Solar credit-card-using parking meters? Bring it on, coast-to-coast. Either that or make parking free everywhere.

The Good Zoo is offering an exclusive safari to Tanzania, East Africa. The trip will be escorted by Zoo Curator Mindi White, and retired zoo director Penny Miller. The safari runs from November 2 to November 13, 2015, with an optional extension to Zanzibar. "This trip is a treasure trove of wildlife and culture. It's the "bucket list," trip of a lifetime for any wildlife lover, birdwatcher or photographer," White said.
This exclusive safari will cover unforgettable spots including the unique eco-system of Ngorongoro Crater, the vast savannahs of the Serengeti, and the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Manyara. "We will be watching elephant, zebra, wildebeest, impala, giraffe, lions, black rhinos, cheetah, hyena, jackal, and warthog, along with over 100 species of birds, ans searching for the elusive leopard," White said. "Some of these species are highly endangered and disappearing at an alarming rate," she added. The trip will also include a visit to Olduvai Gorge where the roots of modern man were unearthed by the Leakeys, plus a visit to a Maasai village.
"Hands down, this safari destination and itinerary is my favorite of all we have offered," said Miller, who had been to Africa 10 times. She has led previous zoo safaris to Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia, and recently returned from a wildlife-themed tour of Cuba. "Our naturalist guide Robert Marks Moshi was born a Massai, and has been our guide on our other Tanzania trips. Our travelers just love him; he is an expert on the wildlife and the Massai culture and his stories add a whole new dimension to the safari." Miller added that this safari is unusual in that there will be three seasoned zoo professionals on the trip, and one of the zoo's adult volunteers, a retired college professor who has led his own trips to Africa.
An informative meeting will be held at the Good Zoo on Sunday, June 7 at 1:30 p.m. The meeting will include photographs of past trips, discussion of the itinerary, packing tips and provide answers to all questions. For reservations or more information visit www.oglebay-resort.com/goodzoo or contact Mindi White at 304-243-4029, or Penny Miller at 304-238-3215.


text: Back in November of 2009 I got the Moto Droid as soon as it came out. It was by far the best phone I have ever used! I loved everything about it. When it was upgraded to 2.1 it was even better! Due to some work stuff I no longer was provided phone service any more so I had until July 15th to port my number out. I decided to move over to T-Mobile with my wife since she has a plan all ready setup. I called in and got the Motorola Cliq XT. Hardware wise it is a really nice size and seems to do pretty good for reception compared to my wife's old Nokia. The biggest problem with it is the terrible Moto Blur!!! I cannot believe how it completely screws up a perfectly good operating system for no gains what so ever!! The browser is the most obvious issue but all the feeds are a problem as well. I chose to run it with none of the extra widgets and it seems to be a little bit faster then when all of it was running. I think part of the issue is the fact that is is using 1.6 but the Blur is the biggest issue with this phone. I wish someone woudl port over a stock Android ROM so I could kiss Blur goodbye! I am thinking about exchanging this for the new Samsung on the 15th

Josie Natori Response: A measurement is a guideline and starting point. Not everyone will be comfortable with a snug band measurement. The first day you try your bra on, will be the tightest it will ever fit. The band will relax with each wear and wash. If you liked the fit of the cups and the band was the only problem, I'd suggest getting a 36 D in this style.

Three Ways of Watching the World Cup Final
A viewer's guide to Sunday's Germany-Argentina game
Rio de Janeiro
Anybody can watch the game on Sunday (3 p.m. ET), but you should know your level. If you think stoppage time is a gastrointestinal condition, you're a novice. If you follow the English Premier League sporadically, that means you probably grasp more than the basics. Have a pint. If you use terms like "pitch" or "side" or "fútbol," you're either an expert or not from the U.S. A viewer's guide:
A Messi Situation
Argentina has this one guy—you may have heard of him—named Lionel Messi.
He's only 27, but he has been the best player on the planet for the best part of a decade. There's just one problem: Until this year, he has never played his best on the game's biggest stage, the World Cup. In fact, over his two previous appearances in 2006 and 2010, he scored a single goal total.
Here in Brazil, Messi has set about squashing that narrative. With a good, though hardly brilliant cast of players around him, he's finally living up to his role as a one-man game-changer. He's scored four goals, laid on one assist and had a hand in five of his team's eight goals at the tournament.
Until now, he's been kept out of the "all-time greatest" conversation, because unlike Pelé and fellow Argentine Diego Maradona, he's never lifted the World Cup. With one moment of brilliance, he could change that on Sunday.
Cult of Personality
Sunday's game will determine which country gets to look down on the rest of the world for the next four years. But it will also help to resolve a fundamental question raised at this year's tournament: What is the best way to build a winning team in international soccer?
For years, the secret to World Cup success was building a team to showcase one superstar player, from Pelé to Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane.
But in the past few years, collective endeavor has slowly replaced individual brilliance as the key to victory in this tournament. In 2006, Italy rode a smothering defense all the way to the title. Four years later, Spain won the trophy with a short-passing game based on fluid movement and smooth teamwork.
Here in Brazil, the 32 teams have been largely divided along these lines. Brazil (Neymar), Colombia ( James Rodríguez ) and Argentina (Lionel Messi) made deep runs thanks to individual talent. France, Chile and Costa Rica were well-oiled teams.
Sunday's game, which pits Messi and 10 other guys against Germany's cohesive unit, will be an on-field proxy for this debate.
Advanced Level
The Fullback Gambit
For all the talk about Messi, Germany's Miroslav Klose and the other superstar forwards in Sunday's final, the outcome of the game could hinge on a pair of less heralded players: the Argentine fullbacks.
These outside defenders have played a crucial role in Argentina's attack. With their bursts up the sideline, Marcos Rojo and Pablo Zabaleta (at left) overload opposing defenses, creating holes in the middle of the field and crossing opportunities out wide.
Rojo's goal against Nigeria made him one of just four Argentine players to score at this tournament.
But against Germany, attacks from the fullback position are a dicey proposition. The Germans employ a warp-speed counterattacking style of play that exploits the spaces left when these defenders step out of the back line.
Seven of Germany's 17 goals at the World Cup have come on fast breaks launched from inside their own half of the field, including four of the seven goals in their semifinal rout of Brazil, when they ruthlessly exposed the host team's plan to attack with its fullbacks.
—Jonathan Clegg and Joshua Robinson
Corrections & Amplifications
Lionel Messi scored a goal in the 2006 World Cup. A previous version of this article said he didn't score in the 2006 and 2010 tournaments.

That explains all the bad with the good.
I'm sure you get bombed with mail every day. I want to challenge - your basis for disproving God is in relation to the Bible.I too am very skeptical of the Bible... but once the Bible is removed, do you dispute a creator (God) who created life with the intent of Free Will? That explains all the bad with the good. And no prayer can affect or override Free Will.I am not sure if my thoughts above fall under any religion (maybe you know), but your focus on God to me seems to contingent on the Bible...

House Comm. to Hold Hearing on Financial Regulation
October 15, 2008
Washington, DC—House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) announced that the Committee will hold a hearing on October 21st to address the need for broad regulatory restructuring and reform for the financial markets, including financial institution oversight and regulation, systemic risk, and housing finance. This is a continuation of two hearings held by the committee in July focused on regulatory restructuring and systemic risk, which the Committee heard from regulators.
This hearing will focus on the extent to which an outdated and weak regulatory system contributed to the current market turmoil and whether adoption of a stronger and more robust financial regulatory system could contribute to a more rapid recovery in the financial markets and the economy. Specifically, the hearings will examine:
- Current state of the financial regulatory system, both in the United States and abroad, and ways to measure and limit risk without stifling innovations while improving market liquidity and breadth.
- The implications of current governmental lending and support facilities for the regulatory structure.
- Proposals to improve the regulatory structure to restore confidence in financial markets and institutions through a stronger system of regulation and oversight.
- The need for enhanced capital and reserve requirements for financial firms.
- The adequacy of current powers and coverage of the existing regulatory structure.
Witness List & Prepared Testimony:
- To be announced

A weekly column profiling companies and personalities. This week: Judy.
Who: Judy
Who?: Judy is the mother-in-law of Andy Sack, who started a company based on her three-ring binder of index cards that shared her opinions on everything from plumbers to restaurants to dental hygienists in Seattle.
What: When Sack first moved here with his wife in 2000, Judy gave them the notebook to help them get acquainted with the city. Sack then passed it along to friends, all of whom added comments along the way.
Present at the creation: The book became so popular that Sack, 37, and his partner Chris DeVore, 36, came up with the idea to put it online at www.judysbook.com. Today, Sack is chief executive and DeVore is chief operating officer of the company, called Judy's Book.
What it does: Sack calls it social search because unlike directory services that give blurbs of restaurants and user reviews, Judy's Book melds a directory of listings with information from a group of individuals you trust. Recommendations can either be shared within a network of friends or made public to a broader audience.
Target audience: The focus is on families and parents within businesses, neighborhood groups, alumni associations or other organizations.
Business model: It's free to the user, but Judy's Book seeks advertising for services recommended by members. Companies taking out ads get preferential treatment in the directory. Businesses that get bad reviews cannot buy advertising. To start, it does not plan on paying, or giving incentives, to individuals to write reviews.
Experience: Before founding Judy's Book, Sack started a similar company called Abuzz. That company created a system for employees to find an individual within their companies who had specific knowledge. It was purchased by New York Times Digital in 1999 for an undisclosed price.
Financing: Judy's Book recently raised $2.5 million in venture capital from Ignition Partners, Ackerley Partners and angel investors.
But you gotta wait: The Web site plans to launch a beta version early next year available only in Seattle. Right now, the site has the results of an early alpha version, but it is not live and cannot be updated.
Offices: The six-person company works out of DeVore's unfinished basement in the Wallingford area.

Who We Are
NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association is the premier association representing more than 800 independent, community-based telecommunications companies that are leading innovation in rural and small-town America.
NTCA is a full-service association, offering a wide array of member services, including a highly effective government affairs program; expert legal and industry representation; a broad range of educational services; a comprehensive assortment of regular and special publications and public relations programs; and a well-rounded complement of national and regional meetings.
Services Management Corporation (SMC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of NTCA. Established in 1980, SMC provides administrative services for the association's many benefit programs through contractual relationships with Trust committees that are appointed by the NTCA Board to administer the programs. The services SMC provides include claims and benefits administration, data processing, and member relation services.
NTCA also calls upon three related organizations to better serve its membership:
- Formed in 1969, the NTCA Rural Broadband PAC, the association's political action committee, lends credibility to the government affairs program through modest and judicious campaign contributions to key congressional supporters.
- National Telcom Corporation (NTC) is an association-captive property and casualty insurance company. As a captive, NTC serves only NTCA members and provides opportunities to minimize administrative costs and control losses.
- Communications Supply Service Association (CSSA), a group-purchasing venture formed by individual NTCA members, provides technical services and offers economies of scale in buying telecommunications equipment.
In 1994, NTCA established the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), a nonprofit foundation, whose mission is to sustain and enhance the quality of life in America by advancing an understanding of rural issues. Located in NTCA's Arlington, Va., headquarters, the FRS resource center supports rural telecom companies, communities and policymakers with educational information, products and opportunities to increase their community development and involvement. FRS provides a variety of programs, ranging from youth-based initiatives and educational materials to consumer awareness and rural economic development. With every program, FRS calls attention to rural challenges, goals and achievements, and educates the public and lawmakers on exactly why rural America is so unique and worth fighting for.

Feelbad, Chest/Rib pain
Hey Marcia, You better put bumpers of something around you with that puppy of yours. Geez what is it a rotweiler or something? You said you are having more pain now then pre pt, whats bothering you?
I had problems with the person filling in for me at work, so had to help out for coulple of days. No more I hope for abit.
Saw Mountain Readers post I am glad I am not the only one still having some issues. Went for the MRi so we will see. Arm is hurting, went to help a gentlemen (elderly), just forgot & used the dang arm, well dumb. Felt abit better up till then. Really could kick myself. This really takes along time to heal my friend.Osteo appointment today & boy I hope it helps. Whole darn area is aching.
You are really lucky to have such a good therapist. I would love to know how many people struggle after this surgery. I know there was a guy in pt still going for a couple months after his. I will not be using this arm at all for a couple or days. The whole shoulder/scapula area is so painful can't lift my arm this morning. Back to resting. Its going to take along time for this thing to heal I think. you have got to stay out of the dogs way, run or walk fast if you can't run when you see it coming (ha). Have you had any problems using that arm? If you think about it, it is not even four months post op. I heard at least for the decompression it could take up to 6 to get really feeling like its healed. I did not know abit of this before surgery, good thing to.
I know the sling can calm things down so what ever is going on movement of the arm/shoulder can really effect it. You would think mucsles tendons & such, but who knows. You know there is another poster with the SNS/RDS problems ( forgot exactly what its called) on the boards, she says its one painful condition, I really feel for you both. What exactly again caused it?
I will tell you for the MRI I took the valium, which I never take more then 1/2, it really made a difference, everythng seemed to relax. My sister in law was laughing, by the time we arrived I was abit more, shall we say relaxed. Big difference between that & flexerril. I think the flexerril makes me feel to out of it, I do not like to take it & can only take 1/2. I just don't want to ask for it, because the doctors have such issues. The rehab doc had me try it but as I said I never really took it much. I had abetter day that day & went longer between doses of perc. So I know it relaxed the muscles. The MRI itself was torture. Hurt to lay that flat for so long. The perc. makes the bladder alittle weaker so really had to go. Just made it out of the thing in time. Mornings I swear I go every 30 minutes.
The surgeon won't be in till monday, so I will have to wait for the test results. I felt the best that morning of the MRI. I swear every time I go for one I feel better. I always worry that its not acting up so nothing will show. I am sore after. I told my sister in law that is the strangest thing. May be because of the valium. Same thing when I went for the spine, it was the best day I had for over a month. Perhaps that is why the pt does not trust them.
I think I will loose it if nothing shows. I am sick of it all. All the throbbing in those ribs & muscle spasms, especially in the chest makes me feel like I am having a dang heartattack. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Talk to you soon. Sammy

People who regularly drink cranberry juice or take cranberry capsules are less likely to get urinary tract infections, according to experts from the National Taiwan University Hospital.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common, particularly in women. A UTI develops when part of the urinary tract becomes infected. E. coli bacteria cause over 80 per cent of all urinary tract infections.
Cranberry juice and cranberry capsules have long been a popular remedy for treating UTIs, but up until now researchers have not been sure how they work.
In the latest review in Archives of Internal Medicine, scientists looked at 10 head-to-head trials of cranberry products vs. no treatment in 1,500 volunteers.
Overall, the participants that were assigned cranberry products had 38 per cent fewer UTIs. For women with a history of recurrent infections, the risk was reduced by 47 per cent whilst taking cranberry products.
It is now thought that cranberries contain a substance that can prevent E. coli bacteria from sticking on the walls of the bladder. Laboratory studies show that the anti-adhesion activity of cranberry lasts for around eight hours after ingestion.
Whilst the results of the study solidify popular folklore medicine, they do need to be treated with caution. The amount of cranberry compounds used in the studies varied greatly, from one-gram capsules to close to 200 grams of cranberry juice daily.
Scientists now have to find the optimum dose of cranberry. Cranberry juice appeared to be slightly better than tablets of capsules containing the product, but more studies will be needed to confirm this.
Dr Ruth Jepson of the University of Stirling has been carrying out a similar review into cranberry juice. She said: "I'm not sure how many of us would want to be drinking this every day for an indeterminate amount of time.
"It can be costly and calorific and some people just don't like the taste of it."
UTIs will usually pass within a few days or can be easily treated with a course of antibiotics. People with or without health insurance should visit their GP if they suspect they have a urinary tract infection.

The death of Sheridan County Clerk Audrey Koltiska last week has the Republican Party, the party with which Koltiska was affiliated, working within the process to fill her seat. Party Chair, Kathy Coleman, said that by receiving notice last Friday of the vacancy, state statute gives them fifteen days to select three names. Coleman explains the process.
Koltiska had run unopposed in 2006; does Coleman feel there will be difficulty in finding someone to fill the vacancy?
The general public is welcome to attend the general session on Tuesday, but only Precinct Men or Women, or someone carrying a Proxy will be allowed to be in the Executive Session to cast a vote.
If you are interested in applying for the County Clerk position, send your Letter of Intent to Party Secretary Helen Voyages, 1555 Hillcrest Drive, Sheridan, WY 82801 by 5 pm Friday, April 2nd.

text: Hello Haskellers! It's probably a simple question but I can't find a proper solution... Suppose we have a class Vector which overloads (+) operation. I'd like to represent a Matrix data type as a set of vectors: data Matrix3 = M3 !Vector3 !Vector3 !Vector3 In this case (+) for matrices could be implemented as: (M3 r11 r12 r13) + (M3 r21 r22 r23) = M3 (r11 + r21) (r12 + r22) (r13 + r23) But GHC says about ambiguous occurrence. I don't understand why because it's should be pretty clear that rows are vectors and (+) has to be vector type as well. I could use Vector.+ instead but it doesn't look good. Probably I'm missing something. Any ideas? Cheers, Oleksandr. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Today, Congresswoman Corrine Brown marked the 20th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act. On February 5, 1993, President Bill Clinton signed the landmark Family and Medical Leave Act into law -- only the third bill he signed upon becoming President, two weeks after his inauguration.
"Since the enactment of the Family and Medical Leave Act 20 years ago, it has been used more than 100 million times by workers to take unpaid leave to care for themselves, their children and their family members, without having to worry that their jobs will be gone when they return," said the Congresswoman.
Over the last 20 years, due to the FMLA, mothers and fathers have taken time to care for new babies, and expecting mothers have adequate taken time to care for themselves and seek medical help during complicated pregnancies. In addition, the law allows young adults to take time to care for ailing parents. Indeed, nearly everyone has, or knows someone who has, benefited from the FMLA. The protections of the FMLA were most recently expanded by a Democratic-led Congress in 2010 to cover family members dealing with a military deployment or service-related injury.
"The Families and Medical Leave Act has helped millions of families manage their responsibilities at work and at home," continued Congresswoman Brown. "As we move forward, we need to look for ways to improve the Family and Medical Leave Act and ways to further help America's workers better balance their responsibilities on the job with their responsibilities to their families at home."

Bollywood actor Gulshan Grover, whose last release "I Am Kalam" fetched him worldwide recognition and honours, thanked veteran actor Shabana Azmi for helping him in finding roles in his initial days.
"Shabanaji has helped me a lot in the beginning of my career. She recommended me to Mohan Kumar for a role in 'Avtaar' and told him that I am very hard working," the 51-year-old actor said at the DVD launch of "I Am Kalam".
"She sought roles for me in 'Hum Paanch">Hum Paanch', 'Aaj Ka MLA' and many more. She guided me on the sets of the film. She has always been my well-wisher and mentor," said Gulshan who debuted with "Hum Paanch">Hum Paanch" and later established himself as 'Bad Man' in Bollywood.
Gulshan took villainy to a different level with his roles in "Ram Lakhan", "Raja Babu", "Sadma", "Mohra", "Hera Pheri" and "Gangster - A Love Story". He will next be seen in Ali Khan">Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer "Agent Vinod", expected to release in March this year.

I made the mistake of trying to chase her. This resulted in the two of us running around the entire building, she like a wild, ferocious wildebeest, and I like a lame, biped lion stumbling around hoping to accidentally fall on her to make her stop running.
Before long I realized something ominous. She had completely disappeared. I got Lolly in on the hunt, and we sent Anna around to look for Tessa too.
We searched, but to no avail. Eventually, as we regrouped, we were relieved when Anna showed up with Tessa in tow. But there was a problem. Tessa wasn't wearing pants.
The following conversation ensued:
Lolly: Tessa, where are your pants?
Tessa: I went pee pee in the potty!
Lolly: Well... good job Tessa, I guess. But where are your pants?"
Tessa: By the toilet.
This was not a good development. It's one thing to have a child running around the halls of the building like a wildebeest on crystal meth. It's another matter entirely when that wildebeest on crystal meth decides to go pee pee in the potty without supervision of any kind.
Immediately Lolly took Tessa over to the closest women's bathroom to retrieve her clothes. She went into the bathroom and, as it turns out, there were no pants by the toilet.
Lolly: Your pants aren't here, sweetie. Where is they?
Tessa: Not in this bathroom. In the other bathroom.
Suddenly Lolly's fears began to mount.
Lolly: Which other bathroom??
Tessa pulled Lolly's hand and led her to the men's bathroom.
Of course.
Lolly opened the door (I was waiting at the front of the chapel with the other kids at this point). "Hello!?" she yelled. When there was no answer, she walked in, and there it was: Tessa's little pair of pants in the middle of the floor. Of the men's bathroom.
Lolly, of course was horrified. But not as horrified as she was two seconds later when, as she picked up the pants from the floor, she heard Tessa exclaim "I used this potty!"
And when she looked up, this was what she saw:
We learned so many lessons this day!
Pro-tip #2: Do not let your three-year-old go pee pee unsupervised.
Pro-tip #3: Do not let your three-year-old go pee pee in the men's bathroom. Because she will use a urinal. Presumably by sitting on it.
Parent of the century award? You betcha!!!!

Mississippi Braves Rally for Clinton-MC Night Victory
April 11, 2012
Fans at Clinton-Mississippi College Night cheered when the MBraves rallied in the 8th inning for their first win of the 2012 season.
The 4-2 triumph over the Mobile BayBears provided a nice finale to the annual event that saw Clinton and MC supporters combine their talents at Trustmark Park.
Whether it was the polished performance of the Christian university's Army ROTC Color Guard or the superb rendition of the National Anthem by the Clinton High Arrow Singers, the balmy spring weather was perfect for the evening of April 9.
Miss Clinton Jamie Ferguson, who plans to be a Mississippi College freshman next fall, and 2012 Miss Mississippi College Taylor Townsend, each tossed a ceremonial first pitch to start the Southern League baseball game in Pearl.
Other key participants in the lineup included Christian radio station STAR 93.5 based at Mississippi College, the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, the Clinton Courier, and a number of MC alumni and students.
"We had a lot of parents, teachers and administrators there and it was a special night for everyone," said Sandi Beason, public information officer for the Clinton Public School District. "The Clinton-MC Night with the MBraves is becoming a tradition each spring, and it's something we all look forward to."
The MBraves tied up the game in the bottom of the 7th when catcher Christian Bethancourt scored on a bases loaded walk. Pitcher Ryan Buchter got the win after striking out every Mobile batter he faced in the 8th, with Mark Lamm shutting down the visitors in the 9th to earn the save.
"Seeing a pumped up MBraves team run off the field with their first victory of the new season was a great way to end a fun night," said Andy Kanengiser, an event organizer and MC's university news coordinator. "We thank all the participants in Clinton-MC Night for being part of this extraordinary evening on Easter Weekend. As usual, the MBraves staff was great to work with."
Hannah Kanengiser, a Pearl High freshman, enjoyed her role shooting pictures of the festivities.
"My favorite part of Clinton-MC Night was hearing advice from current MC students about me attending in four years," says Hannah, a Pearl Pirates volleyball player who celebrates her 15th birthday on Sunday.
Special thanks for making for another successful event goes to the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, and its leader T.J. McSparrin, Clinton Courier Publisher and Editor Clay Mansell, the Baptist Healthplex, and Mississippi College cheerleaders. MC graphic arts coordinator Michael Hataway deserves kudos for his creative work on the event's flyers again this year.
The four Mississippi College students performing in the Army ROTC Color Guard were Cadets James Lamoreaux and Grant Whittington, both of Meridian, Cadet Stephan Pitts of Brandon, and Cadet Curtin Rachel of New York. The group is led by Staff Sgt. Jacob Carpenter of Memphis, Tenn., and Captain Anitria Mack-Lewis of Grenada, who serves as the unit's Officer in Charge.

SAN FRANCISCO — Leadoff hitter Angel Pagan underwent an MRI on Thursday and was diagnosed with a small tear in his right patella tendon. The Giants don't consider the tear to be serious, and Pagan was back in the starting lineup Friday night after sitting out most of Wednesday's game.
"He's doing much better," manager Bruce Bochy said. "If you look at a lot of these players, you'll find a lot of small tears, whether it's in the arm, the leg, the meniscus."
The Giants are actually more concerned with a bruise that Pagan suffered when diving for a ball in a recent game. Bochy said that is what is causing Pagan the most discomfort. Neither ailment is related to the left hamstring tear that cost Pagan most of the 2013 season and ultimately sent him to surgery.
Pagan had a long talk with head trainer Dave Groeschner before Friday's game but was walking without any sign of discomfort and wasn't wearing a wrap on his knee as he took batting practice in the indoor cage.


text: I had my brother put the last of my tea bags in the pitcher and to make some cold brewed tea this morning. Six hours later (and lightly sugared)it is nice and delicate and peachy. There is half a pitcher left. I don't think it will last any more than one more day.

A THIRD man has been charged over an arson attack at a Southampton home while a man was asleep upstairs.
The scared 27-year-old lodger at the house in Brighton Road, Banister Park, was woken at around 1am on September 17 by a smoke alarm and managed to extinguish the fire downstairs before it took hold.
Detectives have now charged Christy Flaherty, 19, of Malmesbury Road, Shirley, with arson with intent to endanger life.
He is due to appear before Southampton Magistrates' Court on December 7.
Stephen Lang, 20, from Burgess Road, Swaythling, and Calvin Lawrence, 26, of Hansler Road, East Dulwich, south London, have already been charged with the same offence.
Detectives are continuing to appeal for witnesses who may have seen anyone suspicious in the area to come forward.
Anyone with details can call Detective Constable Tom Hewitt at Bitterne CID on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

LONDON, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Six ex-journalists at the closed British publication News of the World were arrested by investigators in an offshoot of the phone-hacking scandal, police said.
Scotland Yard said in a statement Wednesday it uncovered another suspected conspiracy to intercept voicemail messages that allegedly occurred in 2005 and 2006, The Guardian reported.
All six are journalists or former journalists, police said. Two reporters work for The Sun.
Police said the six were being questioned at police stations in London and Cheshire and their homes are being searched.
"Detectives on Operation Weeting have identified a further suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails by a number of employees who worked for the now defunct News of the World newspaper," the Scotland Yard statement said.
Police said the alleged phone-hacking victims were not previously notified, confirming that it was "part of the new lines of inquiry."
Mike Darcey, chief executive of Sun publisher News International, emailed staff to confirm the arrests, The Guardian said.
"As always, I share your concerns about these arrests and recognize the huge burden it places on our journalists in the daily challenge of producing Britain's most popular newspaper," he wrote. "I am extremely grateful to all of you who succeed in that mission despite these very challenging circumstances."

wikiHow to Organize Anything Using Spreadsheet Software
Two Parts:OrganizingKeeping trackCommunity Q&A
Do you have a big collection of comics, movies, video games, or something? Feel like that collection is too large? With just a little patience, you can get a simple table of your collection up and running.
Part 1
1Clear the shelves! It may seem silly, but start off by taking all the cases off the shelves (or wherever you store your collection). This will help to visualize how everything will look when it goes back on the shelves.
2Choose how to sort it. As you are taking items off the shelves, begin to think about how to organize the collection. Experiment with the piles to find a system that suits you best. In this case, the collection is being sorted into what system they can be played on (with a few DVDs thrown in for good measure).
3Place your collection's items back in their proper places. Choose where to place each category and place that category in neatly. If a section doesn't fit, experiment! Once again, feel free to play around with your collection to find your favorite configuration.
- If your shelf has some extra depth, use it to your advantage! Proudly display your favorite items up front, while pushing the not so desirable objects in the back. This has the bonus of letting you utilize all that space on the shelves.
Part 2
Keeping track
1In the first row of your table, create headings, such as Name, Year, and Producer. Aside from the name, feel free to add or remove headings, as you like it. Now, highlight that header and the row below it, and create a table.
- In Excel 2010, on the home tab, click format as table, and select a style of table. Make sure to select the "My table has headers" Checkbox.
2Begin filling in the chart with your collections' information. If you are unsure about anything, Google is your best friend. If you're using Excel, the table will expand automatically, if you add a new column or row. Take your time, and don't rush.
3Sort and filter through this list, if desired. If you're using Excel, you might have noticed that there are small arrows beside each header. If not, go to data, and click on filter to make them appear. If you click on those arrows, you can sort and filter through the entire table. Very useful If you're looking for a specific game or movie!

- If your collection consistently grows, consider leaving some extra space so you can fit those new items in relatively easily.
- Give your collection a shuffle once in a while. Pick new spots to place your collection, and sort them differently. You might just find a new favorite configuration!

PepsiCo Eyes Summer Launch for New "Real Sugar" Colas
Earlier today, industry publication Beverage Digest reported that PepsiCo is set to launch three new Pepsi cola products that are marketed and packaged as being "made with real sugar." The beverages, to be released this summer, will come in regular, vanilla and wild cherry flavors and are labeled with the nostalgic PepsiCo logo.
The new products appear to be taking the place of the PepsiCo's popular "Throwback" sodas, which included limited-edition, sugar-sweetened versions of its flagship cola and Mountain Dew, both of which were packaged in nostalgia-inspired cans and bottles. The sodas, which also featured the phrase "Made with Real Sugar" on packaging, debuted in 2009 and saw intermittent distribution through early 2011. In March of that year, PepsiCo announced that it would make Pepsi Throwback a permanent part of its beverage portfolio.
PepsiCo also launched another sugar-sweetened cola in 2009 called Pepsi Natural, an all-natural product made with sparkling water, natural sugar, natural caramel and kola nut extract. The beverage was sold in select U.S. markets before being discontinued.
Despite significant traction for its Throwback products, it appears that PepsiCo pulled back the reins on the sodas sometime near the end of 2012. The Pepsi Throwback Facebook page, which has nearly 273,000 "likes," has not been updated since Dec. 23, 2012. The last post on the product's Twitter page came on Dec. 28, 2012.
While some consumers will undoubtedly welcome the new sugar-sweetened products, the beverages are unlikely to have a major impact on the sustained slide of PepsiCo's CSD sales. However, the company is later this year expected to take a significant step toward reducing the sugar and calorie content of its drinks via its partnership with flavor supplier Senomyx. Senomyx markets an ingredient called Sweetmyx, which is said to allow receptors in the tongue to perceive things as sweeter or saltier, thus enhancing the flavor profile of reduced-calorie foods and beverages. PepsiCo has exclusive rights to use the ingredient in all non-alcoholic beverages.

JOSH Hazlewood won't take South Africa's bait and be drawn into a war of words between the two cricketing nations.
The slanging match has started ahead of next month's three-Test series between the Aussies and Proteas.
It began with AB de Villiers telling foxsports.com.au the Australians took things too far with their antics during a fiery 2014 series.
The next day stand-in captain Faf du Plessis took a sly swipe at his rivals, saying they've lost their aggression under Steve Smith.
Du Plessis also said the Australian bowlers would be "scarred" after South Africa won the recent ODI series 5-0 on home soil.
Australian veteran Peter Siddle fired back at the Proteas, but Hazlewood will keep his ammo dry and let his bowling do the talking when the series kicks off in Adelaide on November 3.
"I guess so, some guys feed off it pretty well," Hazlewood said.
"It doesn't really worry me at all. I'll go about my business as I usually do and bowl the best I can."
Hazlewood will be a walk-up starter in Darren Lehmann's XI for the Test series.
NSW teammate Mitchell Starc is expected to be the second quick, although both have had limited game time during the state Matador Cup competition.
TEAM SELECTOR: Pick Australia's XI for the first Test against South Africa
They will be hoping to squeeze one Sheffield Shield match in before heading into Australian camp.
The Blues have qualified for the Matador Cup semi final, to be played in Sydney on Friday, and Hazlewood has put his hand up for selection.
But with the competition final on Sunday, then the first round of Shield cricket kicking off two days later, Cricket Australia will be monitoring his workload closely.
"I'm obviously going to bowl anyway in the nets and get that work rate up for a Test match," Hazlewood said.
"There's a Shield game first, any time you do it in a game is always helpful.
"(Starc will) be fine I think, he's coming along really nicely and bowled all right in the nets this week so he's looking good."
Hazlewood and Starc's NSW teammate Pat Cummins sat out Wednesday's Matador Cup win over Western Australia but hopes to also play on Friday.
He will then have one Shield game to stake his claims for Test selection.
He's likely to fight it out against a handful of pacemen for the third and final spot in Australia's attack.
Test legend Steve Waugh suggested this week veteran Peter Siddle could be recalled to the side for the sake of consistency.
"You know what you're going to get," Waugh said.

For those concerned with the security of their company servers, the primary issue here is to avoid getting infected. And this is where users hold the key. Obviously, be sure your users are not opening e-mails with attachments from unknown senders. Even e-mail with attachments from those known to your users need to be handled carefully, because some viruses invade another user's address book, and send infected e-mails from "spoofed" addresses. This makes the incoming e-mail look legitimate. In addition, many viruses come as attached .exe and .scr files, but MyDoom disguised itself as a .zip file. Many companies rely on .zip for compressing large files before sending via e-mail, and therefore let such attachments through. So the word is caution, caution, caution, and education of your users.
To that end, there are some examples to follow. In CIOs On Security, Preventing Mydoom Redux , Paul Kapustka notes that George Washington University has set up a "controlled area" where servers direct users whose clients are determined to be infected. And at Amtrak, the protection against viruses and worms starts at the server level--users there aren't allowed to log on unless their client has properly updated software. And, servers are kept up to date, all the time.
If your company does get infected, it seems MyDoom has a bit of a superiority complex; while a headache for all involved, it doesn't seem fatal. Several companies, including The Boeing Co., reported that although the virus clogged systems up so that employees were unable to use e-mail Monday, things seem to be back up and running in relatively short order. It is troublesome, however, that the "offspring," MyDoom.b, may be more powerful than the parent.
So, you know what they say about an ounce of prevention. Just do it.

Location: Relative; To the east of Germany and the Czech Republic. To the north of Slovakia. To the Northwest of Ukraine.
Place: Human; Poland has many human characteristics. One thing that stands out is Poland education system. Children start at the age of six then go through three classes of education (like grade school, junior high, and high school). Poland's Cities are modern and exiting. Warsaw, Poland's capital, has a 600 year old church and a 700 year old royal castle.
Place: Physical; Poland is the 9th largest country in Europe and 63rd in the world. Poland is mostly lowland with almost no mountainous places. Poland tallest mountain is Ryly. Poland has many national parks that cover 1% of their country.
Movement: People; People in Poland get around their country in many ways. They can get around in their cars, trains, and Poland's national airline, LOT. This helps Polish people get around from city to city in a fast way.
Movement: Goods; Since the downfall of Communism, Poland has become a healthy economy and is the leading exporter of food in the EU. Goods include electronics, cars, and helicopters.
Movement: Ideas; Poland had recently had a huge expansion of home and cell phone use. Because of the Holocaust and movement of remaining non-Poles Poland has become almost uniformly Roman Catholic.
Human Environment Interaction: Environment; Poland has almost no natural borders because it is mostly flatland. This meant that Poland was constantly conquered by neighboring nations. Poland has many wolves that are dangerous and sometimes kill people.
Human Environment Interaction: Human; During the Communist regime almost nothing was done to prevent pollution so in 1989, when researchers looked they found that Communist Poland's economy had depended on unrestrained use of the country's natural recourses. They found that most of Poland's River water was very contaminated and could not be used for irrigation, and much river life had perished.
Region: Eastern Europe, Former Communist Bloc Countries, Northeast Europe.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Here at the New York Yankee spring training complex, you can browse and enjoy the history of sport's most successful franchise.
more Smith columns
There are tributes to the great Yankee heroes of yesteryear from Babe Ruth to Mickey Mantle. Fans who come to games linger at those memorials, often in reverence. It would be difficult to imagine a more impressive layout in all of spring training.
There are others across the state, but none, with the possible exception of the Braves' facility at Disney, can measure up to the impassioned display of tradition of the Yankees.
And in keeping with the current trend, the tax payers for the most part gave this plush facility to the Yankees.
Without getting into the political merits of such exercise in our sports world today, you always question that development. Why, you ask, isn't there some way to tax the players who benefit from this tax largess?
After all, most of them are multi millionaires. A serious tax contribution from the multi-millionaire players would make sense to me.
Forgetting the financing of public facilities like Legends Field, it is without a doubt the Taj Mahal of spring training facilities, and it's fun to see the complex and the Yankees at work.
When Jacob Cauthen Westbrook was traded by Montreal a few days before Christmas, he was pleased to join a winning franchise, but he knew very little about Yankee history. Oh, he was aware of the legend of Ruth and Mantle and many of the others who were successful enough on the field that they had their jersey numbers retired, but he had always been National League fan.
In fact, when the Braves played the Yankees in last fall's World Series, Westbrook pulled for the Braves.
''You grow up pulling for a particular team and it is hard to stop,'' the Madison County native says. ''That obviously has changed for me now.''
Naturally, it's too early to tell what will happen in Westbrook's Yankee life, but with his 90 mile per hour fastball, he could join the ranks of Yankee greats some day. Although he has been assigned to Yankee farm club (AAA Columbus, Ohio) this year, the Yankees are high on him and believe he's a pitcher of the future.
This spring has been a good one for Westbrook, and he is trying to develop a strikeout pitch. He has a natural sinker that the Yankee coaching staff raves about, but developing that strikeout pitch has been a priority. A lot of his pitches are hit on the ground, which in most instances is what you want, but with a man on third base with less than two outs, a ground ball will advance the runner home, which is what you don't want.
What the Yankees see in him is vast potential.
Pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre says, ''Jake has the potential to be a dominant pitcher in the big leagues some day. He has been fun to work with this spring.''
This is Westbrook's fourth year in professional ball and he has been moving up each year after the Rockies signed him for a sizeable bonus out of high school. Colorado scout Steve Payne predicted greatness for Westbrook, but the Rockies traded him to Montreal for infielder Mike Lansing in 1997.
After a year at Jupiter (11-6), Westbrook moved up to Harrisburg (11-5) and the Yankees were anxious to trade for him. They sent the controversial Hideki Irabu to the Expos for Westbrook and two others. The Yankees believe they have made a significant-for-the-future trade.
Westbrook is doing what he always wanted to do. Growing up, he and his father, Cauthen, were close and he want to do what his daddy did which was to play basketball and baseball for the University of Georgia.
But when the Rockies came with that big bonus after drafting him first in the free agent draft of 1996, his plans were altered.
He has moved up every year since playing with Arizona of the Rookie League in 1996. He has been moving up every year and knows that his progress toward the big leagues is on schedule.
While the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Westbrook did not go North with the Yankees, he, in all probability, will get called up to the big club in late season.
Watching him work, you realize that, in time, he could become an overpowering pitcher, but he has more than a fastball. His changeup is probably his second best pitch. He continues to work on the curve and the slider and, of course, the sinker.
His development of the sinker is interesting. He really has never tried to throw it. It is a natural pitch for him. He throws the fastball and at the last second the ball drops down, making it a very effective pitch. Now if he develops that strikeout pitch, he should be on his way.
He started his first outing of the spring against the Blue Jays and quickly got manager Joe Torre's attention.
''I thought he did a good job,'' Torre said. ''He left a couple of pitches up in the middle innings, but other than that everything was on the ground. I was very impressed with his performance.''
Westbrook built a house with his Colorado bonus money for him and his wife, the former Heather Daniels, whom he got to know in high school, and while he aspires for a long term big league career, you can always expect him to call Madison County home. He is a family man whose roots will always keep him anchored where he grew up.

Discussion in 'Caliber Corner' started by Deye76, Mar 15, 2013.
The perp on the recieving end won't know the difference.
I was close to buying a g38 but decided to pass due to worries about ammo cost and availability. It seems fun to have a 45 gap gun but I decided 9mm and 45acp would be more practical until I could afford otherwise. If anyone is interested in a g38 I know of a currently for seller from PA.
I was on the fence about one at a LGS, but I didn't want to take on a new caliber.... dies, brass, holsters; the deal died when the shop decided they wanted an extra $100 from the deal we talked about just two days earlier.
Seriously, I love all these cool calibers but I have been trying to cut back on the numbers for which I handload. I have 45 auto and 9mm; held off on the 40 S&W and 45 GAP. Passed on the 357 Sig cuz I've been into the 9x23 Winchester for some time now and a 125 @1500 fps is not hard for the caliber.
So, yeah, 45 GAP is a good caliber but I'm just not willing to take it on when I'm so well covered by what I have.
A local shop about 45mins from my house always seems to have a decent selection of .45gap in stock, and at a price equal to .45acp.
Find a good deal on some and start stocking up. Start with JHP first, I'd want atleast 500rds.
I don't think .45gap will ever become significantly more popular, but I don't see it disappearing anytime soon either.
Load it with 200gr LSWCs then.
Thanks I think I will. Just bought my 3rd GAP today along with my 4th 10mm.
I would trust the South Korean PMC ammo. They have been our close and trusted allies since WWII.
That don't make it well made! Even if it is, I try to buy American when I can....Speer made in Lewiston Id.
I've been using PMC ammo since the early 80's, mostly in .223 and have had nothing but the best performance. I will say that 99.999% of it was much HOTTER than American made, but it was also very clean burning. Back when it was cheap (like in the 80's) my shooting buddy and I could rip through 3 wooden crates on a Saturday and Sunday. I liked it so well I started using it exclusively for my .357mag,.38 special, and .44mag.
Yeah, lots of folks predicted the demise of the 10mm in the 80's-90's, yet in 2013 they just can't keep up with supply and demand. Just because there are those slow to adapt or switch doesn't mean there is something inherently wrong with the round. As more and more people try it, more will wake up to it's merits.
Same with the GAP. Some folks are just too slow to accept change.
There you go - another PMC lover.
You do know you can reload 45GAP with the 45acp dies you already have? You can use the same 185,200,230 grain bullets and at most your only extra expense will be for small pistol primers unless you are already using them for some of your 45acp or 9mm. I do it all the time on a lee set up for 45acp. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeazy.
Thanx! I didn't know that.
What advantage do you see? Identical ballistics but a less common chamber?
Speaking only for myself the selling point was Identical ballistics coupled with a smaller more comfortable grip. It was a win, win, win.
David C.
aka ccoprdc
I see. I love single stack .45s grip size but I played with a double stack HK my hand's grip wouldn't even fit all the way around. I can see how this would greatly benefit a double stack or people with smaller hands now that I think about it.
It's grip size is almost identical to the G17 and G22. It's not a slim grip per se, but much slimmer than a G20 or a G21.
I see the D37 is out in Gen 4 with the removeable backstrap. Sounds like a nice set up.
I really like my Glock 38
