President George Bush's call for a balanced budget and earmark reform is a welcome commitment to fiscal restraint in Washington. It echoes recent commitments from leaders in Congress to tackle the long-term budget problem. If these promises actually lead to serious spending control and a reordering of federal spending priorities, it will be good for the economy and for American families. The key is reforming the big entitlement programs, not raising taxes to reduce the deficit or to finance new and unwise spending programs.
If budget proposals, such as the President will soon release, are to lead to real economic benefits for Americans, there must be clarity about the proper strategic goals. That means recognizing the true fiscal threat. And President Bush can and should take some immediate actions in line with his proposal to increase the pressure on Congress to recognize the proper goals.
While the goal of balancing the budget in five years has a popular ring to it, the real threat to the economy and families is not the deficit but the relentless projected rise in future spending-driven by entitlements-and taxes rising as a percent of the national paycheck. Today's deficit as a percent of gross domestic product (GDP) is not especially high by historical or international standards, nor is there convincing evidence that such deficits are economically harmful.
The real problem is the tsunami of retirement spending about to engulf us as the Baby Boomers begin to retire over the next few years. The cost of Medicare and Social Security will surge from about 7 percent of GDP today to almost 10 percent by 2020 and to 14 percent of the entire economy by 2050, when today's college students retire.
That is why the President's call for confronting these unsustainable entitlements is so important. He and Congress must begin to take action now, before the problem gets worse.
In addition to his budget proposal, the President may have a concrete opportunity to start on restructuring Medicare this spring. If the Medicare trustees report that general-fund revenues make up more than 45 percent of Medicare outlays over a seven-year period, he must submit a proposal to Congress to curb the taxpayer cost, and Congress must take prompt action on the plan.
The President should, in any case, press members of both parties to work with him to design a plan to reform and curb entitlements. He can also draw more attention to the entitlement problem by insisting on changes in the budget process to highlight unfunded obligations and to force Congress to reduce those obligations as part of the annual budget cycle.
And while the recent surge in tax revenues shows the wisdom of tax rate reductions that power faster growth, increasing the amount of money taxpayers send to Washington is not the way to secure the nation's economic future. The President thus must also be clear that raising taxes to reduce the deficit is unacceptable. One reason for drawing this line in the sand is that insufficient tax revenue is not the problem-spending is. The new Congress is itching to spend money on new programs that its Members committed themselves to during the election. Accepting tax increases will merely finance that new spending.
Another reason is that the Bush Administration's tax cuts only slightly slowed a long-term rise in federal taxes as a percent of the economy. Today the federal government takes about 18 percent of GDP in taxes, roughly the average for the last 50 years. Yet under current law, thanks to tax hikes enacted before Bush came into office, taxes are slated to rise to a record high of over 20 percent within a decade and to over 22 percent within 20 years. So Americans are scheduled for massive tax increases if Congress does nothing. Thanks in part to the Alternative Minimum Tax, and in part to tax bracket creep, even extending the Bush tax cuts shaves only one percentage point off this tax increase.
Thus, holding the line on taxes and continuing to press for an extension of the Bush tax cuts is critical just to stop the tax burden rising any faster. That means, in turn, that a commitment to balance the budget will be a damaging pledge if it triggers pressure for new taxes.
Finally, the President is right to call for tough action on earmarks, including a line-item veto. Earmarks corrupt the budget process. In addition, the President can and should take steps immediately to blunt the growth of earmarks. In particular, since most earmarks are in report language rather than legislation, he can order agencies to ignore them. For these informal earmarks, the President already has a "virtual" line-item veto. He should use it.
The President is right to call for fiscal restraint, and he should continue do so while pressing Congress to reduce the rising burden of taxation. Most importantly, he should also urge Congress and the American people to focus on the true underlying problem-ever-rising entitlement spending-and not on closing the deficit.

We hate to blow a few holes (pun intended) in the manufactured controversy that is sucking up all of the oxygen in the state Legislature, but no one is going to take any one's guns away in Missouri.
Sorry to burst the bubble of more than a few politically opportunistic state lawmakers, but there will be no gun restrictions passed in the Show-Me state — not this year or anytime in the near future. Not going to happen.
Your guns are safe from Jay Nixon, Barrack Obama, and the ubiquitous, jack-booted, federal agents circling our state in black helicopters.
So is the sanctity and integrity of your conceal and carry permits.
There likely will be an expansion of gun rights in Missouri vis-a-vis the state legislature as there has been over the past few years.
Because that is the way we want it in Missouri. And that isn't a pro-gun or anti-gun statement. It is the current political reality.
We revere guns and value the Second Amendment in our state which is duly reflected in the political composition of our state Legislature.
Sure, there are bills floated by legislators from urban areas like St. Louis or Kansas City that would purport to place restrictions on gun ownership. But they aren't going anywhere even if they did make good public policy.
In reality, they don't stand a chance of passing the Republican-dominated, pro-gun Legislature. That is the case even after a tragedy like the one that occurred in the Sandy Hook School shooting.
Which is why we don't get too excited over the revelations that the state Department of Revenue has scanned driver's license documents including concealed carry permits or that the Highway Patrol attempted to share a list of conceal and carry permits to federal investigators who requested it in the course of a fraud investigation.
Some lawmakers are attempting to manufacture these two separate issues into a conspiracy by the government to impose restrictions on gun ownership. Some are convinced the federal government is behind it and its only a matter of time before they show up at your door to confiscate your weapons.
When you learn all of the facts of these two separate incidents, the conspiracy crumbles but that hasn't stopped some politicians from ginning up fear for political gain.
Lawmakers are vying to see who is the staunchest supporter of gun rights in the battle against this pretend threat. It is a tailor-made controversy for politicians like our State Sen. Brian Nieves who has staked his political career on his support of the Second Amendment and his hatred of President Obama.
It makes for interesting political theater and is a godsend for fund raising but it is also a colossal waste of time.
But unfortunately, as the Kansas City Star noted this week, the preoccupation with this pseudo-scandal has kept the Legislature from dealing with more important matters like the budget or creating jobs.

Dark Disco with Marty Party, Joker, Tanner Caldwell, Max Mischief and DKDS :: Built by MeanRed
88 Palace
88 East Broadway (at Forsyth St.)
New York, NY, 10002
This event is 21 and over
Since 2007 MartyParty has produced sets of original music that range from melodic instrumental hip hop to bassline oriented dubstep. MartyParty has started a movement back towards the power of the melody and the harmony in electronic composition. Song writing has always been Marty's passion instead of the typical beat style dj production. The music is a hybrid of electronic music and hip hop that together form a totally new flavor of urban beat with the hypnotic elements of electronic music and hard-hitting bass. The MartyParty live performance is an intense journey that pulls together the MartyParty songs overlaid with urban samples triggered live. The result is a true "crunky" and "hyphy" experience like no other.
Aged just 20, Joker is an immensely precocious talent, he burst onto the Dubstep and Grime scenes in 2008 with the vibrant 'Grimey Princess' and 'Gully Brook Lane' which were released on Earwax and Plastician's Terrorhythm imprint respectively. His productions possess a rare duality of intense and nonchalant energy, the soundtrack to a pimp on an interstellar journey.
Joker's musical peers include Rustie, Gemmy and Kode 9, the recognised tastemaker and man behind Hyperdub who identified Joker as one to watch when he named him as his protégée for Mary Anne Hobbs' hugely seminal follow-up to Dubstep Wars, Generation Bass; broadcast worldwide on BBC Radio 1.
Joker's video can be viewed on Youtube and in testament to the level of interest in this Bristolian talent, continues to be the highest viewed video of the Maida Vale session.
Joker has remixed Roni Size, Simian Mobile Disco and Lil Boots, his productions are battered by DJs including Skream, Rustie, Harmonic 313 and Plastician. Pitchfork named Joker, 2008 Producer Of The Year a huge accolade for a producer who's not only just out of his teens but also just out of the starting blocks.
Born to Grime and adopted by Dubstep, Joker is reluctant to be classified, but his soul drenched productions have been described as Jehri Curl Boogie and Wiley stuck in an elevator with Cameo. Whatever you call it, as we move through 2009 and beyond, Joker is one of the shining stars that can be seen in the distance and by the time the light of his electric melody's reaches our eardrums he has already begun the next phase of his journey.
"2008 Producer Of The Year" PITCHFORK
"Joker is Bristol's biggest new guy on road" NME
"Everyone's going loopy for Joker" FACT
"Immediate Impact" PLAN B
DKDS are rising stars of the NYC underground, night creatures whose main goal in life is to make you stay up too late and dance 'til dawn. DKDS is made up of Scrap and Chris – two tall, dark cousins who hail from Seattle and New York, respectively. The two reunited in Brooklyn over a mutual love of jackin' deep house and techno and formed a DJ duo; over the last couple years their back-to-back sets have made a serious mark on NYC nightlife, one debauched party at a time. The boys recently caught the attention of MeanRed, who made them residents of their Dark Disco party deep Downtown. They're also hard at work on original tracks with the edgy-yet-suave vibe that is their signature. Don't sleep… no, really.

New Mortgage Plan to Focus on Lowering Payments
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
When President Obama announces his $50 billion foreclosure prevention program in Arizona today, it will represent one of the most ambitious efforts yet to turn around the worst housing crisis in decades.
The plan will include several elements, including ones that focus on encouraging lenders to lower borrowers' payments to affordable levels, perhaps by having the government subsidize lower interest rates, sources familiar with the proposal have said. It will also establish industry standards for modifying troubled loans. Those could include extending the terms of loans or giving borrowers a short-term break on payments.
But it is still unclear how the plan will deal with the growing number of borrowers whose home values have plummeted so that they now owe more than the home is worth. They are among the most likely to fall into foreclosure. The administration, for example, has not indicated whether it would press lenders to lower the amount a borrower owes to match the current value.
The plan "will encourage servicers and lenders to do the right thing and give relief to struggling homeowners," a Democrat familiar with the proposal said last night.
Developing the foreclosure prevention program has been daunting, as government officials have attempted to provide enough help to stem foreclosures while not rewarding borrowers who purposefully stop paying, sources familiar with the discussion have said. The administration also focused on developing a plan that would not put too much taxpayer money at stake.
Obama's plan will supplant a series of government foreclosure prevention efforts that have fallen short of expectations. For instance, Congress established Hope for Homeowners late last year to help troubled homeowners refinance into new loans. But since that program was launched in October, no homeowners have received such loans.
The face of much of the Bush administration and industry effort has been Hope Now, an alliance of lenders. But consumer advocates have complained that lenders remain difficult to contact and often agree to loan modifications that are unaffordable for the borrowers, who quickly end up delinquent again.
Thousands of homeowners have been anxiously awaiting news of Obama's plan, including Greg Chase, 53, a Fairfax County government employee. He moved to Virginia in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina and bought a four-bedroom home in Fairfax in October 2006, at the height of the housing boom. At the time, the $475,000 house appeared to be a good deal.
With a 30-year, fixed-rate loan, Chase said, he didn't feel like he was taking a big risk. "Just a regular June and Ward Cleaver type house," he said. "I legitimately qualified for my mortgage, I put money down."
Since then, his wife has lost her job and home values in the neighborhood have tumbled, Chase said. Even though they made a $25,000 down payment, Chase said he now owes more than the house is worth.
In late December, Chase said he called the Hope Now hotline, but was misdirected into a delinquency program, a situation that took weeks to unravel. "It went wrong," he said. "I don't think there was any malicious behavior, I just got caught up in the bureaucracy."
Chase cashed in his 401(k) to avoid missing any payments, but is worried about how long he can go on. "The bottom line is I don't want to lose my house. If my wife is able to get a job next week, things would be fine, but then you see those job reports," he said. "I am not looking for anybody to give me anything, just a little bit of help, something to make a little difference."

The autobiographical essays in Edge offer insight into the passions of acclaimed author Jeff Mann. These memories, insightful as they are endearing, range from his boyhood obsession with the gothic allure of Dark Shadows to the doubt and pain of being a Southerner, and so at the edge of the gay community, and the appeal of leather bars and bear culture. Mann also visits gay meccas in these essays - the resorts of Key West, Provincetown, and Rehoboth Beach, along with several European destinations such as Germany, Ireland, Belgium, and Scotland, have important cameos. But he is never an idle traveler - he is challenged by his experiences, and his observations reveal the thoughts of many gay men. Along the way Mann ruminates on a variety of subjects, from lost lovers to wearing kilts, theophany, Sylvia Plath, adult videos, and bathhouses.

It took me quite awhile to get my first quilt loaded in the frame. I've never done it before and I probably rolled up the top and back 3 times each until I was satisfied with it.
It is so quick once it's done though! I started tying it last night, I've worked on it off and on today, and I'm half way through the second roll. I hope I can have it done to give to my brother next weekend.

Hello everyone....
I am new to the site and basically I have found out that my Wii is out of date. I'm not sure how to check what chip I have or mod version etc. since it was done by someone else. I do have Neogamma which boots my backups of Wii games.
What I'm trying to accomplish is this....
1. Be updated to most current version
2. Be able to play wii backups
3. Be able to play Gamecube backups on disc previously burned
4. Be able to keep my emulators and roms that are on my SD card
I have seen the instruction manual for re-modding.....here is my issue....I am not good at this stuff and I feel like if things are done wrong I can end up with a brick for a wii. I'd like if someone can kind of chat with me and help me through it if possible. I know USB loader options are available.....not sure how it works....don't want to be spending extra money on an outdated system......and I already have the hard disc media burned. Anyone that can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks so much guys.
Hand-holding services are something we don't offer. We can answer questions you might have on our guide, which is Softmod Any Wii and linked in my signature.

I thought I'd try reflexology yesterday... mean to be great for stress reduction, etc. There's a little 'relaxation' place in my small town, so I trotted along and tried to keep an open mind.
The woman who runs the centre is very hostilic and 'reset my aura' first of all. Apparently my energy wasn't centred at all? In fact, it was somewhere over the other side of the room (which felt about right). So she rebalanced that... and I kept an open mind.
She also told me that when someone comes to her, she 'feels' their energy. As well as reflexology, she said I needed back and chest massage and head massage, and that she would do it for the same price. This all sounded good to me!
However, here comes the grotesque imagery (those of a nervous disposition look away now). She then told me to take off my clothes, except for my knickers.
Now, I knew that I'd have to expose my feet at this session, so I had showered that morning and was wearing clean clothes (a MIRACLE!). However, I had not counted on exposing my entire body. And by that I mean, mismatched underwear, stubbly legs and armpits... Sexy.
So, I sheepishly had to lie there as she massaged my feet, and sometimes my ankles, wincing and wondering whether her hands were getting a good exfoliation...!
The motto? Be prepared and ALWAYS SHAVE!
The verdict - mucho relaxing! But she certainly earned her money...!

Weathering drought
With Daybreak Ranch lying in the middle of country prone to dry weather, Jim Faulstich and his family have seen their fair share of droughts. Over time, they've evolved a plan to help their operation better withstand dry spells and other disasters, such as hail, wildfires, or grasshopper outbreaks.
"With each drought that comes along, we try to learn from it and act accordingly; that makes us better prepared for the next one," says Faulstich, who manages the Highmore, South Dakota, operation in partnership with his wife, Carol, and their daughter and son-in-law, Jacquie and Adam Roth.
By late summer of 2012, the family's preventive strategy was helping the operation withstand the dry conditions and the reduced grass growth then prevalent across north-central South Dakota.
Daybreak Ranch is a cow/calf operation comprising 350 pairs and some 8,000 acres of grass and cash crops. The family also custom-grazes yearling heifers and runs a commercial hunting enterprise. In 2009, they received the Region VII Environmental Stewardship Award from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
Five-pronged plan
Their five-pronged plan for weathering disasters (such as drought) is a tiered strategy that lets them juggle resources in a prioritized plan in response to worsening conditions.
1. Hold in reserve a year's worth of stored and standing forages. "In any given year, we have a number of pastures that don't get grazed," says Faulstich.
Additional reserves of grass come from marginal land enrolled in the CRP. In dry years, the USDA typically releases these for grazing or haying later in the growing season, after birds have finished nesting.
When establishing stands of CRP, they plant warm-season varieties of native grasses. These green up later in the growing season than cool-season varieties, so they tend to have good nutrition at the time of midsummer CRP releases.
To provide additional reserves of forage, they have also planted warm-season native grasses on marginal cropland not enrolled in the CRP. Given current high prices for cash crops, they've chosen to sacrifice the greater short-term profit they might presently earn from growing crops rather than grass on such fields.
"A lot of this land is not conducive to being cropland, and it requires a lot of inputs to grow a crop," says Faulstich. "We're in this business for the long haul. We believe that over the long term, growing grass on marginal acres is best for the land and more profitable than growing crops."
2. Manage grazing to build resilience in soils and grasses. In pastures scheduled for grazing in a given year, they plan to graze each paddock just once and for no longer than five days at a stretch. Their intent is to leave in each paddock plenty of ground cover to shelter soil from wind and water erosion and to provide sufficient stubble height to trap snow.
They continually work to subdivide pastures in order to better match paddock size with the number of cattle that will achieve a uniform level of grazing across a given acreage in a short period of time.
"Our goal is to be in a paddock for no longer than five days. In some cases, it turns out to be longer because more subdivision is needed," says Faulstich.
A short duration of uniform grazing minimizes the chance of cattle repeatedly eating the most palatable and typically the most nutritious species of grasses and forbs. Repeated grazing reduces the vigor of desirable plants, letting the least palatable and least nutritious plants dominate the forage stand, which, consequently decreases diversity.
Water developments in paddocks encourage uniform grazing, which further fosters diverse plant growth.
"By maintaining diversity of grasses as well as forbs, we are able to get the benefit, for instance, of the native legumes that are so important to improving production," says Faulstich.
A diverse population of plants provides variation in rooting depths below ground, and this improves moisture-use efficiency of the forage base. It also serves a variety of minerals to grazing animals through top growth.
"Because of plant diversity, we've been able to decrease the need to supplement minerals to cattle," he says. "There's a lot of economic value in having diverse plants in pastures. Certainly this diversity helps us stay prepared for drought."
3. store hay to shore up forage reserves. Holding a year's worth of forages in reserve also includes storing hay. "We have three hay sheds. In good years, we put up enough hay to fill these," says Faulstich.
Though their goal is to graze year-round, they hold the hay as an emergency feed reserve only for times when dry weather reduces the availability of standing forage.
4. Monitor rain events. They pay particular attention to the presence or absence of fall and spring rains, and they manage resources accordingly. "With rainfall, we're always looking toward next year," Faulstich says. "We've worked at understanding the moisture use on our ranch. From experience, we've learned that if we get rain in September and October — and particularly in April — we can pretty much count on getting spring grass growth."
5. manipulate the number of grazing animals. If neither fall nor spring rains replenish soil moisture, the family considers adjusting the number of cattle to match the availability of forage.
In that regard, the custom grazing of yearling heifers is an elastic side venture, letting the ranch expand grass use in good years and shrink it in poor years. For instance, the family took in no outside cattle last year due to dry weather.
They charge a per-head grazing fee for the heifers, taking outside cattle with the owner's agreement to take them back on a two-weeks' notice. This lets the ranch respond rapidly to unexpected dry conditions during the growing season.
"If we get no rain, have no standing forage, and no hay, we may need to further reduce demand on the resource base by selling cows," says Faulstich.
They prepare for this possibility each spring at calving time by identifying possible cull cows. They later graze these in a separate pasture with the yearling heifers. If adverse conditions warrant, they'll wean calves early from these cows, keep the calves, and sell the cows.
Keeping their operation diverse and flexible has gone a long way toward helping them withstand bouts of dry weather.
"By living through enough droughts and trying to learn from each one, we're better prepared than we used to be," says Faulstich.

Menu Magnetic Hanging Globe
We love globes but don't own one because we don't know where we would put it. This helps. It's the Menu magnetic hanging globe by Danish designers Jakob Wagner & Louise Christ Frederiken.
It hangs on a magnetic bracket from the wall or ceiling, thus taking up no surface space. The globe is available in silver, green, or blue plastic finishes and is 30cm in diameter. It's just a perfect globe for small apartments.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Free agent starting pitcher Scott Baker has signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Cubs, the team announced Tuesday.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but the Chicago Tribune reported it was for $5.5 million with incentive clauses that could boost the total to $7 million.
Baker, 31, missed the entire 2012 season for the Minnesota Twins while recovering from elbow ligament replacement surgery. The right-hander went 8-6 with a 3.14 ERA in 23 games in 2011.
Over 163 career games, the second-round 2003 Twins draft choice has compiled a mark of 63-48 with a 4.15 ERA.
Minnesota declined to pick up a $9.25 million option on the hurler this fall, making him a free agent.

Toyota of Orlando is welcoming new Toyota in Central Florida to the lot – 2014 models, to be more specific! Not only were we lucky enough to see the 2014 Toyota Venza arrive last week (in addition to the already-present 2014 Toyota Yaris), we now have another member of the family to welcome to Central Florida – the 2014 Toyota Camry! This sleek new sedan arrived in style as always, and it's bringing a few updates and tons of performance capabilities to our dealership for the 2014 model year. Let's take a closer look at what it has to offer!
2014 Toyota Camry offers slight modifications for extra style and comfort
The 2014 Toyota Camry in Orlando didn't get too many changes this year; if you recall, it was totally redesigned in 2012 for a much sportier and sophisticated look. However, it did get a few tweaks here and there, including:
- A slightly refined exterior, with more heavily accentuated headlights and some additional chrome accents
- A tweaked interior that provides more space for passengers, especially the middle rear passenger (think extra legroom)
However, despite these minor changes you'll still find all the style, reliability, and versatility for which this new Toyota in Orlando is known. If it's style you want, it's definitely style you'll get when you take the 2014 Toyota Camry out for a spin – it comes with elements and options like:
- A trim-level designed specifically around a sporty appearance and performance! The SE comes with features like fog lights, alloy wheels, a body kit, a rear spoiler, and an interior clad in special sport fabric
- A wide variety of paint colors to choose from, including colors like Barcelona Red, Attitude Black, and Clearwater Blue
- Options like a power moonroof and wood-grain style accents in the interior, as well as hints of chrome here and there
Find all your performance needs met in this new Toyota in Orlando
More concerned about performance? The 2014 Toyota Camry handles that aspect of the driving experience with ease. You'll find the choice between a 4-cylinder and V6 engine – whichever floats your boat – plus two hybrid models!
- The Toyota Camry Hybrid LE and XLE are eco-friendly siblings to the traditional gasoline models, and they don't just do their part for Mother Earth – they also provide drivers with 41 mpg combined at the pump so you can save big!
- Each new Toyota Camry in Orlando is also equipped with VVT-i under the hood, which helps to maximize performance AND up fuel efficiency. The gasoline models may not save you quite as much as the hybrid models, but you'll still benefit from 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway!
- Reliability is also still a big part of this new Toyota's performance – after all, 90% of all models sold in the past ten years are still out on the roads!
Want to see for yourself what the 2014 model year has to offer you? Why wait? Stop by Toyota of Orlando today! We're just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall, and you can give our internet sales team a call today to get more info on all of our 2014 models, as well as our money-saving Toyota specials! See you soon!

Hernandez quits Racing Metro
ESPN Staff
July 17, 2014
Juan Martin Hernandez has been a great servant to Top 14 rugby © Getty Images
Argentina fullback Juan Martin Hernandez has left Racing Metro and looks set to return home to continue his rugby career.
Hernandez, 32, joined Racing Metro from the Sharks in 2010 and has lined up both at fullback and No.10 for the Top 14 side. He has spent the majority of his professional rugby career in Paris having played for Stade Francais for six years from 2003 through to 2009 but L'Equipe reports his time in France has come to an end and he will continue his career in Argentina.
With Argentina having a franchise in the 2016 Super Rugby tournament, Hernandez is likely to play some role for them and in the meantime he will play in their domestic league alongside running out for the Pumas in the forthcoming Rugby Championship and November internationals.
Hernandez has also been linked with a short-term move to his old side Stade Francais as they have room for an injury joker with Hugo Bonneval sidelined.

Deadliest sniper in US history author Chris Kyle shot dead in Texas
His body was found at Rough Creek Lodge range on Saturday with that of another man. A suspect was arrested.
Mr Kyle, 38, wrote the 2012 bestseller American Sniper, about the psychology of a sniper, in which he said that he had killed more than 250 people.
He served four tours of duty in Iraq and was decorated for bravery.
The gunman opened fire at about 15:30 local time (21:30 GMT) then fled in a pick-up truck belonging to one of the victims, local media reported.
Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said the motive for the killings was unclear, and was unable to explain how the two men were shot.
But he said a 25-year-old suspect was detained five hours later more than 70 miles (110 km) from the scene.
Scott McEwen, who co-authored the book with Kyle, said: "It just comes as a shock and it's staggering to think that after all Chris has been through, that this is how he meets his end, because there are so many ways he could have been killed."

Secret Agent:
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Spy stories come in two speeds. There's the fast-paced adventure kind—think James Bond or Jason Bourne—whose indomitable heroes kiss and kill in exotic locations. And there's the slow, cerebral kind, which is all about solving puzzles. The doyen of the latter is John le Carré, whose novels are rife with scheming and counter-scheming, personal loyalty, and political treachery. You get all that and more in the new screen adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, a beautifully wrought Cold War thriller that will delight audiences who like movies that expect you to pay attention.
Gary Oldman stars as George Smiley, an honorable, semi-retired spy chief who's been ousted during a shakeup in British intelligence (known as "The Circus") after a disastrous operation in Czechoslovakia nearly spells death for one of its agents, Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong). But once it becomes clear that there's a mole, or double agent, high up in the Circus, Smiley is brought back to catch him. Could it be an outsider in the Establishment, like working-class Roy Bland (Ciarán Hinds) or Hungarian-born Toby Esterhase (David Dencik)? Or is it somebody better situated—suave Bill Haydon (Colin Firth) or ambitious Percy Alleline (Toby Jones), now in charge of the whole operation? Smiley sets about his work in the old, pre–Google way, sifting through papers and questioning anyone who might be involved, from a cashiered Russian specialist, Connie Sachs (Kathy Burke), to a freewheeling field operative, Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy). Aided by his friend Peter Guillam (a fine Benedict Cumberbatch), Smiley closes in on the traitor, pursuing his quarry with a calm that's downright unsettling. And it needs to be: He's dealing with a bureaucracy in which the deadliest snakes aren't the Soviets, but the colleagues slithering around the office.
This is the second screen version of Tinker, Tailor (as fans call it). The first was a brilliant seven-part BBC miniseries starring Alec Guinness, made five years after the original novel came out in 1974, and steeped in the worn-out drabness of seventies Britain. It's now three decades later, and in adapting le Carré's book, Swedish director Tomas Alfredson (who did the terrific vampire picture Let the Right One In) has made the whole thing faster and sleeker and more elegantly art-directed—The Circus now looks less like a dreary collection of aging offices and more like the showy new office space of a thriving Silicon Valley dot-com. While this feels wrong, some of the film's other inventions are wonderfully right—in particular, a Christmas party scene cooked up by screenwriters Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan that brings all the suspects together in one room, beaming and carousing. In a film defined by deceptive surfaces, the party is charged with mood, for Alfredson treats Smiley's quest for the mole less as a high-class whodunit than an enthralling fever dream about the many varieties of betrayal.
It helps that he's blessed with an almost preposterously good cast, one that can afford to make supporting players of superb actors like Firth, who's extraordinarily convincing as a man whose smile you may not want to trust, and Hardy, who never gives a mediocre performance—as Ricki, his scenes crackle with passion and flair. Of course, the story's center is Smiley, and in venturing this role, Oldman was faced with the daunting task of following a performance by Guinness, that master of ambiguous smiles, that many feel is definitive. But Oldman has always been an uncommonly resourceful actor, and where Guinness could never quite stop himself from wanting to be at least a bit lovable, he takes the brave step of making Smiley not merely unreadable but cold as a minimalist sculpture—his strength lies in what he's not giving you. We may not like him, but we can tell that Oldman's lonely old spymaster is one guy you wouldn't want to play poker with.

Jamaica-born running back Ian Smart is the Lions' punt and kickoff return specialist. He was recognized as the CFL's special teams player of the week after returning six kickoffs for 138 yards and six punts for 46 yards in last week's 22-21 home loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He leads the league with 1,100 combined yards.
24 hours: You're enjoying your first full season as a Lion after coming here early last year from the Montreal Alouettes.
#2 Ian Smart: "We're just one family. If a team is not together, they're never going to be good. We're all family, we're close, even off the field we do things together which is good for team chemistry."
24: You're a high school track coach in the off-season and specialized in 100 m and 200 m sprints in college. Which came first for you, football or track?
#2: "I always was a track guy, but I liked football so I started playing football."
24: What was your best time?
#2: "Coming from college I ran 10.5 in the 100; in the 200 I was high 21s, low 22."
24: The running surface is different in football. Which do you prefer, natural grass or FieldTurf?
#2: "[FieldTurf] is a different surface, grass is a lot better because it's natural and easy on your body. It depends on the thickness of the grass and the speed on the surface, too."
24: Before coming north, you spent a couple of years with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What's head coach John Gruden like and how does he compare with Wally Buono?
#2: "He's a motivator, loud and likes to bring a lot of fun to practice, he likes to get his players working and get the best out of them. Wally's not as loud. Wally's more of a players' coach, he respects his players and makes sure his players are all right and healthy, he takes care of his players."
24: You also spent a season in NFL Europe with the Scottish Claymores.
#2: "We finished 2-8, but the coach told us that football's good when you're winning, losing was stressful. It was a good experience that got us across the Atlantic."

BAGHDAD - Iraq has signed an estimated $3 billion deal to buy 18 fighter jets from the United States, officials said yesterday, in a measure aimed at protecting its air space alone, after years of relying on help from American pilots.
The F-16s aren't expected to arrive in Iraq until next fall at the earliest, and probably not until 2013, meaning US troops may still be asked to patrol the country's skies and train its air force for months, if not years, to come.
But US Army Lieutenant General Michael Ferriter called the F-16 deal "a game-changing capability.''
"It provides the basis for their air sovereignty,'' Ferriter told reporters in his Baghdad office.
There are 44,000 US troops in Iraq, with all scheduled to leave by the end of this year. But concerns about Iraq's stability and continued attacks have spurred Washington and Baghdad to reconsider the deadline in a drawn-out political process that may not be decided until the 11th hour.
Underscoring Iraq's security gaps, a militant group linked to Al Qaeda issued a list of attacks yesterday that it claimed it carried out in Iraq during the holy Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The Islamic State of Iraq said in the statement that it carried out 68 attacks in the country's western Sunni-dominated Anbar Province in August and September, killing at least 90 people. The claims could not be immediately verified.
Officials in Baghdad and Washington worry that the US military withdrawal will leave behind partially trained Iraqi security forces unable to protect the country from foreign threats, especially during the rash of instability across the Mideast.
Iraq has said its air force is not ready to protect its air space alone.

Idling vehicles is always a bad idea
Wednesday, Aug 06, 2014 01:33 pm
Dear Editor,
Can someone explain to me why there isn�t an idling bylaw in Okotoks? I am astounded at the number of people (especially truck owners) who think it is a good idea to idle their vehicles for ridiculously long lengths of time.
In the winter I�ve seen vehicles idling for an hour! In the summer I�m seeing the same thing. Not only is it bad for the environment, it�s not good for an engine either.
Do people not comprehend this? What is the point? Am I missing something?
Maybe I could understand this phenomenon if there was a reasonable explanation but there�s not. It simply DOES. NOT. MAKE. SENSE. Are people lazy? Do they forget? Seriously, what�s the deal? Everywhere I go in this town people are running their vehicles for no particular reason and Council doesn�t do a damn thing about it. Lets get with the 21st century and make some changes.
Darren Frusciante,

Eammon Brennan recently did a chat on ESPN that had to do with recruitment and one of the chat members came up with this awesome nickname for Andrew Wiggins.
Chat wrapped. We settled on nickname for Andrew Wiggins: "Ender." Or "Prof. Dr. Charles Winston McBatman." Both good! es.pn/15LJKHf
— Eamonn Brennan (@eamonnbrennan) April 24, 2013
I previously wrote that it was kind of a fantastic coincidence that Wiggins had the same name as the protagonist of "Ender's Game", which happens to be a favorite book of mine. Kudos to Brennan there!
Also, I want to say I tried my best not to get personal on my response to the Wiggins piece this morning. I realize that sportswriters sometimes have to come up with ideas when ideas are not there. But when I see a piece like that getting major traffic and Twitter attention, then I cannot sit back and watch it happen without a response piece.
I tried not to get personal and keep it to the facts.
It was the "drama-king" comment that rubbed me the wrong way. I chatted with Wiggins the morning he received the Gatorade Player of the Year award and the last thing that occurred to me after listening to that interview was that he was a drama king. Read the piece below by the great Jason Jordan if you don't believe me.
Canceled the visits and you STILL think Andrew Wiggins is doing this for attention? May wanna read this: usatodayhss.com/news/article/a…

Thanks for reading and stay tuned in to Rant Sports Prep for all the latest news on Wiggins.

WATKINS GLEN, NY - Carl Edwards claimed his first Sprint Cup Series pole in two years by winning Saturday's qualifying for the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen at Watkins Glen International.
Edwards turned a lap of 124.432 m.p.h. around the 2.45-mile road course in Upstate New York for his fifth career Sprint Cup pole, but his first since August 2008 at Bristol (69 races ago).
"It feels good; I feel like I won the race just having that fast of a lap here," Edwards said. "It will be different to start up front, and I think that will be something good for us on Sunday."
Edwards qualified 0.35 seconds ahead of Jamie McMurray, who will start on the outside pole.
"I really love road racing, and I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me when I come here, because I always talk about going go-karting, and most of the karters give me a hard time if I don't do well, so it makes me feel good for the go-karters in America that I qualified well," McMurray said.
McMurray's Earnhardt Ganassi Racing teammate, Juan Pablo Montoya, took the third starting spot, while A.J. Allmendinger and Kurt Busch rounded out the top-five.
Tony Stewart, who leads all drivers with five wins at Watkins Glen, including a victory here one year ago, qualified sixth
"It's going to be a lot better of starting spot than where we were last year," said Stewart, who won last year's race at Watkins Glen from the 13th starting spot. "I'm pretty happy with it, and that will give us the starting spot that we need."
Greg Biffle, who was fastest in both practices on Friday, qualified eighth, followed by Jimmie Johnson, who won his first road course race earlier this season at Sonoma, CA, and Kyle Busch, the 2008 race winner at Watkins Glen.
Kevin Harvick, the current points leader, will start 20th. Harvick holds a 189-point advantage over Jeff Gordon, who will roll off 16th.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., making his 500th career Cup start this weekend, qualified 40th.
J.J. Yeley, Dave Blaney and Tony Ave failed to qualify.
Sunday's 90-lap race at Watkins Glen is scheduled to start shortly after 1:00 p.m. (et).

Inconsistent handling affecting speed – Räikkönen
|L. Hamilton
|D. Ricciardo
|S. Vettel
19 April 2014 – Ferrari driver Kimi Räikkönen says that the inconsistent handling of the F14T affected his performance during qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.
Räikkönen struggled throughout qualifying in wet conditions in China as he set the 11th fastest time and failed to make the cut for Q3 for the second time this season.
"The past two days have been difficult, because after yesterday's technical problem, this morning I also only did a single run, but overall, I felt more comfortable in the car," he said.
"Unfortunately, on my last run in Q2, when I was on my quick lap, I lost a lot of time in the final sector and that meant I didn't make the cut to Q3. The car's handling was inconsistent, as it was stable in some parts of the track and less so in others.
"I had some problems with the balance and this had an effect on my performance. It's too early to say what happened, but the time lost yesterday definitely didn't help. Now I want to concentrate on tomorrow's race and try my best to end this weekend with a good result."

Chicago was known for having some of the largest and most dangerous public housing complexes in the country. In recent years, however, these projects are being torn down. Chicago, along with other cities, is moving its public housing residents to mixed income housing. The hope is that if poor people move out of areas of concentrated poverty, they'll have more opportunities.
American RadioWorks' producers Chris Farrell and Laurie Stern spent much of the year in the Chicago projects. Minnesota Public Radio's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Farrell.

"Shrinkage to Smooth Non-Convex Cone: Principal Component Analysis as Stein Estimation"
In Kuriki and Takemura (1997a) we established a general theory of James-Stein type shrinkage to convex sets with smooth boundary. In this paper we show that our results can be generalized to the case where shrinkage is toward smooth non-convex cones. A primary example of this shrinkage is descriptive principal component analysis, where one shrinks small singular values of the data matrix. Here principal component analysis is interpreted as the problem of estimation of matrix mean and the shrinkage of the small singular values is regarded as shrinkage of the data matrix toward the manifold of matrices of smaller rank.

UK woman threatens paramedic with AIDS
By Emily-Ann Elliott The Argus
SOUTH EAST COAST, UK — A woman with hepatitis C smeared blood on a paramedic's face and told him he would be infected with AIDS, the South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust has revealed.
The patient was given a two-month custodial sentence for the offence which happened in Hove in September as the paramedic attempted to treat her.
The health threat to the paramedic is believed to be negligible, but the prosecution has been highlighted as part of this year's NHS Security Awareness Month.
The service recorded 69 assaults against its staff between April 2007 and April 2008 and has warned it takes a zero-tolerance policy towards violence and abuse against its staff.
Other prosecutions include a 17-year-old male who was given a three-month referral and ordered to pay £50 compensation after biting and bruising a paramedic in Uckfield in August 2008 and a man was recently jailed for four years for possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of unlawful violence after threatening a paramedic in Worthing in September 2005.
Paul Sutton, the service's chief executive, said: "We want to ensure that our staff can provide the care they need to, and patients can receive this, in an environment that is safe and secure.
"It's simply not acceptable that staff perceive abusive behaviour towards them as just a part of the job. They deserve to be able to serve their local communities in safety."
This month security specialists will visit ambulance staff to educate them on what to do if they become a victim of violence and the options available to them when dealing with abusive people.
David Dixon, South East Coast Ambulance's security management specialist, said: "We will be working throughout Security Awareness Month and beyond to raise awareness among our staff so they understand they don't have to accept abusive and violent behaviour.
"We have achieved a number of successful prosecutions this year by working with the police and Crown Prosecution Service.
"We also want staff to know that there are alternative measures available to us such as private prosecutions, civil action and ASBOs which can be taken against those who threaten them."

text: Page Content 23 November 2011: Aaron Porter, The value of higher education in a new era In the light of the unprecedented changes to our higher education system and the controversy over the cuts and the trebling of tuition fees, this lecture explored the real value and purpose of higher education. Examining evidence about who is studying at university, their backgrounds and outcomes, the lecture also assessed whether our education system is the solution to overcoming social mobility, or simply reinforces existing inequality. Aaron Porter is a freelance journalist and higher education consultant. He graduated with a BA in English from the University of Leicester, and was editor of the student newspaper, 'The Ripple'. He went on to become President of the National Union of Students during the high-profile tuition fee debate of 2010-11. As a freelance journalist he has written for a range of publications including The Guardian, The Times, The New Statesman and Times Higher Education magazine, as well as presented on BBC1. He also blogs weekly for the Guardian HE Network. As a higher education consultant he has a range of clients, including a number of universities, the Higher Education Academy and the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education. He acts in an advisory capacity to the Office for Fair Access (OFFA). 5 May 2011: Alan Titchmarsh MBE in conversation with Angus Scott The 25th Enterprise Lecture in the series took the format of an informal interview, in which Angus Scott, ITV/Al Jazeera presenter and Lecturer in Media and Film Studies at the University, conversed amicably with this much loved gardening guru and TV personality. Alan Titchmarsh was born and brought up on the edge of Ilkley Moor. He left school at fifteen and became an apprentice gardener in the local nursery, following this with full-time training at horticultural college and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Alan has presented the BBC's coverage of The Chelsea Flower Show, programmes such as Gardeners' World, Ground Force and British Isles " A Natural History as well as his own daytime ITV television show. He has written four volumes of memoirs, over fifty gardening books and seven novels. Alan was awarded an MBE in 2000 and appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire in 2001; he is also Vice President of the Royal Horticultural Society. In 2004 he received the Victoria Medal of Honour, the highest accolade in the British gardening world, and in 2007 was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Winchester. How did it all begin? "I sowed some seeds from a packet of Woolworth's and they came up." He hasn't looked back since, although at times, gardening has been daunting: "I was told at Kew: 'This one was brought back by James Cook. Don't kill it.' " At other times, gardening has led him into deeply moving situations, he told the audience, such as the time when, for Ground Force, he had the opportunity to do a garden make-over for Nelson Mandela. Much to the envy of journalists, the garden make-over was followed by a half-hour interview, in which Mandela told him about the nearest he ever came to gardening in prison, carefully nurturing a tomato plant in the corner of the prison courtyard. It was the only thing he was able to care for and take charge of during the long years on Robben Island. At the time of the lecture, long-time Hampshire resident Titchmarsh ("Yorkshireman by birth, Hamphire hog by adoption") was working on the programme Love Your Garden, which was broadcast over the summer. Is a he a workaholic? "No, I don't work - I just do things." 17 March 2011: Alex Langlands, Farming the Past: Tales from BBC 2's Victorian and Edwardian Farms In this lecture, archaeologist and Victorian and Edwardian Farm star Alex Langlands gave a 'behind-the-scenes' insight into what it is like to bring history to life for a television audience. Alex talked through the highs and lows of his years spent farming historically, as well as exploring issues surrounding the commercial and entrepreneurial role of farming in the past. Alex has always had a passion for the past and for the rural landscape around us. He graduated with a BA and MA in Archaeology from University College London and worked for seven years as a field archaeologist throughout Britain and Europe. His love of farming and its rich history found him involved in Tales from the Green Valley, a television series about rural life in the seventeenth century; the surprise success of this led to the commissioning of Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm. Alex is currently reading for a PhD in early medieval history at the University of Winchester. This event was also part of the University's Wessex Centre for History and Archaeology Research Seminar Series 2010-11.

Health Minister: 'Unacceptable reports into Portlaoise babies were not shared with parents'
THE MINISTER for Health James Reilly has said the failure to share the reports into the deaths of babies in Portlaoise General Hospital is "utterly unacceptable" and has said disciplinary action may be taken.
"One of the things that struck me about this was the failure to share the reports which is utterly unacceptable," said the Minister for Health this morning. "We need transparency."
The broadcast by the RTE Investigations unit, 'Fatal Failures', which is broadcast this evening, examines the deaths of a number of babies at the Midlands Regional Hospital in recent years.
One of the couples featured in the show are Roisin (40) and Mark Molly (42) lost their baby Mark, who was pronounced dead 22 minutes after his birth by emergency Caesarean section, on January 24, 2012.
Mark's death is among a number of cases of infant death at Midland Regional Hospital being examined in the RTE documentary.
The Minister was speaking on Today with Sean O'Rourke and he said that it was "inexcusable" that parents were left feeling that the deaths had anything to do with them.
This morning reporter Aoife Hegarty revealed that one couple, Shauna Keyes and her partner Joey Cornally from Tullamore, Offaly were left feeling that the death of their baby Joshua in 2009 was somehow their fault after a meeting with hospital authorities.
"It is inexcusable. My sympathies are with the families."
The Minister said that steps have been taken to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
"We have early warning scores introduced in all maternity units, foetal blood sampling – which is one of the issues here - is in place in all maternity hospitals from January this year."
The Minister also said that he plans a further investigation into what happened at Portlaoise Hospital.
"I have asked the Chief Medical Officer to give me a report. It won't take long and I will take action to make sure that this never happens again. I have put great emphasis on this."
He did not rule out the prospect of disciplinary action.
"I will introduce the HSE to put a Patient Safety Champion that you go to when you believe that there are any issues which are affecting you."
Tonight's investigation programme highlights a number of cases of infant deaths at the Midlands Regional Hospital.
One of the couples are Roisin (40) and Mark Molloy (42) who lost their baby Mark. The little boy was pronounced dead 22 minutes after his birth by emergency Caesarean section, on January 24, 2012.
The pair were awaiting the birth of their fifth child in January 2012.
His death is among a number of cases of infant death at Midland Regional Hospital being examined in the documentary to be broadcast tonight.
The programme questions whether recommendations following previous infant deaths at the hospital have been fully implemented.
Speaking to the 'Fatal Failures' documentary, Roisin Molloy said: "Mark's death is so black and white. . . he shouldn't have died."
Last month an inquest recorded a verdict of medical misadventure in the death of her newborn baby Mark at the hospital.
The jury heard that baby Mark had died as a result of anoxia (oxygen deprivation).
Her husband also told the inquest how he was devastated at having to take the baby's body for autopsy in a taxi.
The RTE documentary will also look at several other cases of infant death, understood to have happened over a period of six to eight years.
The Molloys are not the only family to lose a child at Portlaoise General Hospital.
Another couple featured in the programme are Shauna Keyes and her partner Joey Cornally from Tullamore, Offaly.
They were expecting their first baby in 2009. Shauna went into labour in October 2009 and they also attended the Midland Regional Hospital. It was decided to perform a C-section and their son, Joshua, died shortly after childbirth.
RTE outlined in a statement yesterday that the babies involved were alive at the onset of labour but died either during the labour or within seven days of birth.
The programme explores how families were failed following the death of their babies.
The HSE last night said it was participating in the programme. But it said it would not be in a position to comment further at this stage.
It is expected to argue that Portlaoise is one of the safest hospitals in which to give birth.
Last year, the first national audit into the death of babies in the weeks before or after birth showed that perinatal mortality rates here compare very favourably with UK and European figures.
The prenatal mortality rate for 2011 was 6.1 per 1,000 births and rates have continued to decrease since then

Review for American Childrens Orchestras for Peace, Miami, FL, USA
I want to take this opportunity to recognize and recommend American Children's Orchestras for Peace. ACOP keep children away from unhealthy patterns and those dangerous idle times in after school hours when they may be prone to getting involved with street gangs and other violent activities. In the at-risk communities served by ACOP, after school hours are the most dangerous time for children to be outside in terms of becoming unintentional victims of community or street violence.

The end is in sight for the nation's top junior college player.
Scottsdale (Ariz.) City College five-star defensive end Louis Holmes said he will officially announce his decision at 4 p.m. pst on Thursday in the school's gymnasium.
Holmes, who is 6-foot-5 and 280 pounds, is expected to pick between Arizona and USC. He also officially visited LSU and had offers from UCLA, Florida, Florida State, Oklahoma, Tennessee and numerous others. But it's the Wildcats and Trojans that have moved to the top of the list.
Article Continues Below
Holmes visited USC back on October 7. He came away with amazing things to say about USC and coach Pete Carroll.
"I had to chance to see how USC prepares for a game," Holmes said. "It was different than anything else I've ever seen before. I was just in awe from all those coaches and players. They really stick together.
"I don't mind playing around all good players. I like to compete. Great players want to be around other great players – that's true."
Holmes then took a trip to LSU on November 25, but the visit didn't go over like he wanted and the Tigers were moved to the backburner. That's where Arizona moved back into the picture and official visit this past weekend pushed the Wildcats to the forefront with the Trojans.
"I really liked my visit to Arizona," Holmes said. "It was tight. Coach Mike Stoops is a really great coach. He got me really excited about their future. I could really dig playing for a coach like that. I'm also being recruited by coach Tim Kish. He's been recruiting me almost the hardest since I first got out here."
It was after his visit that Holmes said he knew where he was going and has known for some time. He was then asked again on Wednesday if he still knows where he's going.
"I still know," he said. "It's the same place I've known for a little while now. It's still been crazy around here, though. Everybody keeps calling. I'll be relieved when it's all over."
And it will be on Thursday.
