WASHINGTON — There's more to Saudi Arabia than sand, oil and camels.
The proof is at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, D.C., with the "Roads of Arabia" exhibit, on display until Feb. 23, 2013.
The exhibit has more than 300 objects drawn from Saudi institutions showing the influences of their neighbors on Arabian art. It draws on treasures discovered over the last 40 years at 10 different sites on the Arabian Peninsula.
Ali al-Ghabban, vice president of Antiquities and Museums in Saudi Arabia, says that it shows civilization in the area dated back thousands of years: "We are not a closed civilization."
The exhibit is broken into three parts. Part one covers the history starting with the Neolithic human-like sandstone stele and flaked stone axes going back to the 4th millennium BCE.
Displayed in one of several large-sized photographs is an example of Neolithic rock art dating back several millennia. Ghabban points out that Arabia "at that period wasn't desert. The weather was different, having all these types of animals." There were lions, ostriches, cattle, camels and humans on the hunt.
At the time what made Saudi Arabia important were the networks of oases for the caravans crossing the desert sand. "Each station was a petro (gasoline) station," says Ghabban, "We controlled the international trade. Arabia is a gift of its location as Egypt is the gift of Nile. We controlled the trade between east and west."
What was shipped? Spices, like frankincense and myrrh, and other luxury objects. Arab sculptures reflected Egyptian dynastic styling and bronze heads showed the influence on ancient Rome and Greece.
Then came Islam in the 7th century, and the trade routes changed. Saudi Arabia no longer was a place to cross but a destination as the pilgrimage roads converged on Mecca. Artistic influence became applied to script instead of human representation. This is the second part of the exhibit.
The last part covers the founding of modern Saudi Arabia in 1932 by the late King Abdul-Aziz, known as Ibn Saud.
The exhibit was first shown in Paris after the Saudi government and the Louvre combined forces. It traveled to Barcelona, Russia's Hermitage and Berlin, with more than 1.5 million visitors.
The Sackler Gallery is the first stop for "Roads of Arabia." It will travel to Pittsburgh, Houston and San Francisco, with other museums still under discussion.
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington, D.C.
Through Feb. 23, 2013

Autopsy finds Nashua woman died of blunt force trauma, brother charged
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA - Judith Rolfe, who was allegedly murdered by her brother this past weekend at the home they shared together, died of blunt force trauma to the head, according to investigators.
"The manner of death has been ruled a homicide. Cause of death is multiple blunt force injuries to the head," Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said on Tuesday. The trauma, he said, caused Rolfe to sustain brain injury.
While investigators are still not commenting on the motive behind the murder, or identifying what type of weapon may have been used in the attack, they said more information could be released Tuesday afternoon.
An autopsy was performed on Rolfe, 66, who lived at 8 Belmont St. with her brother, Duane Rolfe, 65. Authorities responded to their home about 10 a.m. on Saturday where they found her body inside. The brother was arrested the same day and charged with her death.
Duane Rolfe was arraigned via video at the 9th Circuit District Court in Nashua on Tuesday morning. He is facing two alternate counts of second degree murder -- one alleging that he knowingly killed his sister and the second alleging that he recklessly killed his sister.
"They are alternative counts," said Hinckley, explaining that is typical for a second-degree murder case.
The defendant, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, did not speak during the court hearing. He stood with his arms crossed leaning against the wall while his public defender, Jacki Smith, spoke on his behalf.
Because Rolfe is facing two felony charges, he could not enter a plea before Judge Michael Ryan on Tuesday. A probable cause hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 29.
Meanwhile, Hinckley would not comment on Duane Rolfe's mental status.
"It is a little early in the game," Hinckley said, adding the defense will address the matter of Rolfe's mental condition when and if it is necessary.
The siblings operated McDonald's kitchen shop in downtown Nashua for decades, according to friends, who said Judith Rolfe took care of her younger brother for many years.
The police affidavit detailing Saturday's crime has been sealed at the courthouse.
Full text of earlier story continues below.
NASHUA - A 65-year-old man accused of killing his older sister this past weekend is expected in court today.
Duane Rolfe, of Nashua, will appear in the 9th Circuit District Court in Nashua to face a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Judith Rolfe, 66.
The woman lived at 8 Belmont St. with her brother, which is where authorities located her body shortly after 10 a.m. on Saturday. Duane Rolfe was arrested for the murder the same day, authorities said.
Police have not yet released any information on how she died or why she was killed, however more information is expected to be released at Tuesday's court arraignment.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Burglars have struck a Philadelphia house two weeks in a row, first stealing all the food in the family's refrigerator, then snatching their puppy.
Rachel Schortye tells WCAU-TV (http://bit.ly/TKmNcT ) that the latest theft happened late Saturday or early Sunday. She says the burglars took their 52-inch flat-screen TV, winter clothes and party favors for her 8-year-old son's upcoming birthday party.
Schortye says the thieves also took her 3-month-old puppy Miss Piggy from her cage. She says they entered the home through a screen on her porch.
The burglars first struck Oct. 15. Schortye says they entered through the unlocked front door and emptied the family's fridge.
Police say similar burglaries have been reported in the same neighborhood.
Schortye says she doesn't have the money to replace all that was stolen.

NORMAN, Okla. – Before the first thunderstorm even formed over Oklahoma, forecasters were using ominous language to describe violent weather they're expecting.
The Storm Prediction Center on Friday labeled a tornado watch as a "particularly dangerous situation," language set aside for the worst storm systems. Forecasters are predicting numerous tornadoes, including several strong ones. Hail could be the size of grapefruits — 4 inches in diameter.
Bad weather is also expected in parts of southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri, but meteorologists reserved the strongest terms for Oklahoma. No storms had formed by 4 p.m, but forecasters said that once they do, they're likely to become severe quickly.
The tornado watch area includes Moore, Okla., where 24 people died in a May 20 storm. The Oklahoma City and Tulsa are included, too.

Chicago Public Schools unveiled a five-year education plan on Monday that promises an annual report card to provide parents with information on the academic performance of schools and show how many principals and teachers are rated as high performers.
The plan also aligns the entire district with the rigorous Common Core Curriculum by the 2014-15 school year. CPS will integrate art at every grade level and social and behavioral support systems will be provided for students who need them, under the plan.
"We must hold every adult accountable to make decisions in the best interest of our children," schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said Monday. The goal is not just to raise high school graduation levels but to have every child prepared for college, a career, and life, she said.
It's the first education plan from CPS since Mayor Rahm Emanuel took office in 2011.
The district is facing a nearly $1 billion budget deficit, and principals, this year given great responsibility over spending at their schools, will be looking for places to cut. So it is not clear how art education and support systems laid out in the plan will be funded.
The plan comes after two years of contentious debate over efforts to reform Chicago's Public Schools: The Emanuel administration focused on increasing the length of the school day in its first year and this year is closing 49 elementary school.
The education plan also calls for stronger partnerships with parents and communities including more parent training opportunities.
The plan drew a quick rebuke from Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis, who said it was put together "in the silo of CPS without any stakeholders at the table."
"It is amazing that CPS's first impulse, no matter who heads it, is towards an autocratic, top-down approach that people who actually work with kids are expected to implement without the appropriate resources or tools," Lewis said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An imprisoned ex-priest at the center of a landmark Roman Catholic priest-abuse case testified Thursday that he pleaded guilty to a sexual assault he didn't commit.
Edward Avery, 70, admitted to an earlier abuse complaint, but he said he never had any contact with the accuser in an ongoing criminal trial. He said he took a plea deal in which he admitted assaulting the man because he didn't want to risk a longer sentence if convicted at trial.
Asked if he raped the 24-year-old policeman's son, Avery said: "I did not. So help me God."
The same man claims he was raped by Avery, the Rev. Charles Engelhardt and ex-teacher Bernard Shero, starting when he was a 10-year-old altar boy in 1999.
Engelhardt and Shero are fighting the charges at trial, which is expected to last into next week. Avery's testimony could bolster their defense if jurors believe him over the accuser, a longtime heroin addict who testified Wednesday.
But in questioning by prosecutors, Avery conceded that an admission would hurt him in the accuser's civil lawsuit, and perhaps subject him to harassment in prison as an admitted child molester.
A jury last year convicted Monsignor William Lynn, 62, of child endangerment for placing Avery in a parish despite the earlier sex-abuse complaint. Lynn, who served as secretary for clergy at the Philadelphia archdiocese from 1992 to 2004, called it an oversight and apologized to the policeman's son on the witness stand.
Avery's surprise plea on the eve of Lynn's trial changed the dynamics of the case. Lynn's lawyers had hoped to challenge the accuser's credibility, given his drug use and criminal history, and the varying accounts he has given about the abuse.
But Lynn's attorneys decided not to cross-examine him. If they had, jurors would have learned about Avery's guilty plea.
Lynn's lawyer, Thomas Bergstrom, told The Associated Press on Thursday: "We were damned if you do, damned if you don't."
Lynn is serving a three- to six-year prison term for endangering Avery's victim at St. Jerome's Parish in northeast Philadelphia. Avery's testimony will now be used to renew a motion for Lynn to be released on bail while he appeals his conviction, Bergstrom said.
Avery accepted a 2 1/2- to five-year term for sexually assaulting the altar boy and conspiring with Lynn and other church officials to keep him in ministry, even though Lynn had labeled him a likely predator. Avery had faced 13 1/2 to 27 years in prison had he gone to trial.
At his plea hearing, Avery answered a series of technical legal questions, and said he was pleading guilty because he had committed the crimes. But he was not directly asked if he had assaulted the boy.
Avery, wearing blue prison garb, testified Thursday that he had "no contact whatsoever" with the man.
"That question was never asked" at the guilty plea hearing, he said.
Lynn became the first U.S. church official ever convicted for his handling of abuse complaints. His three-month trial brought thousands of secret church documents on abuse complaints and suspected pedophiles — some dating to the 1940s — into the public eye.
"They were willing to sacrifice the sentence for Avery to get to Lynn. That was the game plan," Bergstrom said. "I think it's outrageous."
Tasha Jamerson, a spokeswoman for the district attorney, said Bergstrom has repeatedly made the same "tired claims."
"What we know for certain is that Avery pleaded guilty because he had evidence that made him guilty," Jamerson said.
The judge overseeing the trial of Shero and Engelhardt has issued a gag order on attorneys.
Avery, in pondering his plea last March, knew that at least five other abuse complaints had streamed in after his arrest, each involving a teen boy.
Asked about them by name Thursday by Assistant District Attorney Mark Cipolletti — who was forced to question Avery as a hostile witness — the defrocked priest admitted "horsing around, tickling, groping — by accident."
Cipolletti continued down a list of alleged sexual hijinks, such as putting ice down the boys' pants and fondling.
"Yeah," Avery replied.
But he denied their allegations of oral or anal sex.
"That absolutely never happened," he said.

Above-Freezing Temperatures Warm Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A December warm spell is pushing temperatures above freezing across Minnesota, but it won't last long.
The National Weather Service says mild weather is expected into Saturday. Temperatures rose to a spring-like 40 above zero in the Twin Cities on Friday afternoon. Madison hit 45 while Aitkin, Montevideo and Faribault rose to 43.
But forecasters say arctic cold is about to make a comeback.
A cold front is expected to sweep into western Minnesota by Saturday evening. Near-blizzard conditions are expected from west-central into south-central Minnesota Saturday night.
A wind chill advisory is out for southwestern Minnesota Saturday night and Sunday. Lows Sunday night are forecast to range from 35 below in northeastern Minnesota to 15 below in the south.
The cold is expected to last at least until midweek.

The Library Catalog is more than just a catalog. It's a tool to help you manage your use of library resources. It's a place where you can renew your loans, place requests, keep track of your library activity, and even pay your fines.
By default, the Library Catalog opens to a red tab and Search bar. This is where you probably go to find items you'd like to borrow. But we're not going to talk about search strategies now.
Click on the My Account tab, and a brown bar opens with headings for Overview, Checked Out, Holds, Fines/Blocks, My Digital Account, Pay Fines, and Profile. Enter your borrower barcode number and PIN to log in.
Overview: This shows how many items out you have checked out, overdue and lost; how many hold requests you have; any charges outstanding; and a Profile link to your address information.
Checked Out: This lists items you have checked out, including the due dates. Next to each item is a small window. If you click in that window then click the Renew button on top of the list, that item will receive a new due date (unless it has been placed on hold by another patron). You may renew an item twice before it must be checked in. If the item cannot be renewed, a red message will appear onscreen notifying you.
Holds: This lists items you have requested. Two groups may appear. The top group is requested items ready for pick up at your library: items are held for five days. The second group is requested items not yet available. You can manage this list to your benefit. If you request an item, but then no longer want it, please cancel your request. Just click in the window next to the item and click the Cancel Request button. If you still want to receive the item, but at a later date – perhaps because you are leaving on vacation – click in the window next to the item and then click on the Change Status button: you can suspend your request until a day you select with the drop-down calendar.
Fines/Blocks: This list itemizes any charges accumulated on your account. Beginning in January, 2011, patrons will not be allowed to check out items if they have any charges outstanding.
My Digital Account: You will need to enter your complete barcode number and pin number again to access the digital library account of your eBook and eAudiobook activity.
Pay Fines: This tab takes you to an eCommerce interface where you can pay down any fines or charges on your account using Visa or Mastercard.
Profile: This tab shows the personal information the library has on file associated with your library card. By entering your email address on this page, you will begin to receive notification of item availability (holds) by email instead of by phone. Please notify staff if any information is incorrect.

Geek.com gave a graphics designer a few months with the latest Adobe CS4 suite, and tells you everything you wanted to know about CS4. From the article: "It's been several months since the CS4 Master Collection became available, and the focus of this follow-up review is to highlight the new features that have remained on my radar since first installing the programs. While every Adobe release features a slew of new features, I usually find that only some of those features remain completely indispensable as the novelty wears off."

As Predicted and Discussed Earlier
A more in-depth commentary on the recent events here at WWDC will follow shortly, when you have a bit more time.
Until then, you would like to refer readers to an article you posted in June of 2004 entitled "About Mac OS X on Intel." Unfortunately, the CMS containing the content of this post is no longer online. Fortunately,
archive.org has preserved the text. You have included the text of this article below. Readers may also review archive.org's copy of the post.
About Mac OS X on Intel
There's been a rumor circulating for some time regarding the possibility (or the plan) that Apple might switch to Intel CPU's (from Motorola) due to an ever-increasing gap in performance.
There is certainly truth to this, and all is as it should be.
Anyone who suggests that making a switch like this isn't in Apple's best interest might be misunderstanding the issue. Switching from a Motorola CPU to one made by Intel does not imply that Mac OS would actually run on a "PC". Rather, Mac OS would continue to run only on Apple manufactured computers (with a different CPU).
There would be no loss of branding or control, and no "hardware compatability issues" as Apple would still manufacture and control their hardware.
You see, Apple would not release Mac OS X as a stand-alone operating system to run on your PC. It would run on your Mac, which, by the way, has a non-Motorola CPU. But you wouldn't know this unless someone told you, because your experience would be identical, the switch transparent. Apple would make certain of that.
Think about it. This would be no different than several years ago when Apple switched from older PowerPC chips to the G3 – and rewrote their OS for that purpose. Other systems using PowerPC chips (and there were some) couldn't be made to run Mac OS at that time, and current computers with Intel chips (not produced by Apple) wouldn't be able to run their new OS either. Having an Intel chip wouldn't mean being Mac OS compatable.
Additionally, consider that Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD 4.4, an Intel operating system. Don't think for a moment that there wasn't good reason for this. Consider, in fact, that all through the development of Mac OS X (as is the case with most UNIX systems), there has existed multiple versions for multiple platforms and CPU's. OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, and many other UNIX (and UNIX-like) operating systems are developed with this purpose in mind and have been for years. This is just one of many advantages to the UNIX operating system methodology. Only hardware-specific details need to be changed. If the OS is well written (and BSD UNIX is a champion of well-composed code), then the core of the OS and most of its utilities will be independent of the hardware it resides on.
Just as Apple replaced SCSI drives with IDE, lame video cards with good ones (that previously existed only for the PC), and serial ports with USB and Firewire, Apple will migrate to the best and fastest CPU available to them.
Nowadays, the CPU isn't as big a deal as it used to be. Mac's already share many things in common with PC's – you'd be surprised to know exactly how much. Why not the CPU? Speed is speed, after all. Nothing more.

BAGHDAD An Iraqi health official said seven people, including three Iranian pilgrims, were killed when an explosives-laden car detonated as they were exiting a rest stop north of Baghdad.
The health official said some 30 other people were wounded in Saturday's blast in the town of Balad, some 50 miles north of Baghdad. He said the wounded were Shiite pilgrims from Iraq, Iran and Pakistan. He spoke anonymously because he wasn't authorized to talk to the media.
They were traveling from a shrine in the northern city of Samarra to another in nearby Balad.
Shiite pilgrims are often targeted by Sunni extremists who claim they aren't true Muslims. Attacks typically increase this time of year, when Shiites mourn the seventh-century killing of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, the Imam Hussein.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Police have given the all-clear for an area of the University of Arizona campus that was searched Friday after receiving a report of a gunman.
The campus police department tells The Associated Press that officers found no indication of a shooter.
The department Twitter site said: "UAPD has cleared the Admin Bldg. No one was found, no injuries or signs of a shooting. The Stu Union IS OPEN."
Campus police spokesman Sgt. Juan Alvarez said earlier that police received a 911 call about a man with a rifle at the Administration Building, and numerous officers responded.
Police searched for a few hours before declaring the area open.

From Golf Magazine (June 2011)
Nike Method Core 5i
Category: Midsize Mallet Putters
We tested: 34", 35" shaft length
Key Technologies: "Polymetal" groove technology – aluminum face insert and soft polymer backing that fills in the milled grooves – dampens vibration and reduces backspin so putts skid less and begin to roll forward sooner.
OUR TESTERS SAY: The ball begins to roll quickly with topspin; good balance and overall weighting.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Consistent distances on center hits; putts roll smoothly and track on-line.
FEEL: Soft, muted sensation on center hits; the "toe-down" putter wants to swing itself because of the heavier head.
LOOK: Simple head shape with brushed-nickel finish offers assurance for those who tend to mis-hit putts out on the toe; the head sits low to the ground, which promotes a smooth takeaway.
Center hits can feel too soft for some testers; a few don't care for its asymmetrical head shape – narrow in the heel area and larger in the toe; a minority of testers prefer more forgiveness.

Nike Method Core 1i
Category: Blade Putters
We tested: 34", 35" shaft length
Key Technologies: "Polymetal groove technology" – soft polymer grooves that give way to milled steel secondary grooves – is designed to create faster, more controlled forward roll at impact for improved accuracy and consistency.
OUR TESTERS SAY: This versatile putter is suitable for all playing levels and all types of strokes.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Smooth, consistent roll off the blade with little or no skidding; works well on short putts and delivers accurate, repeatable results from mid-range (15-25 feet).
FEEL: Pretty responsive; it quietly launches the ball off the face; better for slower greens as the ball comes off the face with velocity.
LOOK: Classic heel-toe shape with shallow clubface; head style is attractive to the eyes at address.
A few testers find that distance control suffers on putts longer than 25 feet; mid-slant blade with offset hosel is an acquired taste.

From The Shop blog (January 18, 2011)
Paul Casey fell in love with a prototype of Nike's Method 001 putter{C}after trying it at the company's test center in Ft. Worth, Texas. After convincing company brass to allow him use the club in competition, Casey dropped it into his bag at the 2008 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
It's never left.
In 2009, both Stewart Cink and Lucas Glover won major championships using a Method prototype, and last year Tiger Woods started sporadically using one too.
But for a lot of golfers, the $250 price tag attached the Method putterswas simply too much to fork over. Nike aims to change that with the release of the Method Core line of putters, which have a $129 sticker.
Like the original Method putters, the Method Core line features a unique polymer-groove technology that Nike says gets the ball rolling on the greens faster. However, while the grooves are cut into the face of the Method putters, Nike designers set the grooves of the Method Core putters in an insert.
Essentially, the technology is the same: the grooves are partially filled with a polymer for soft feel, but the unfilled lower portion of the grooves grab the ball and get it rolling.
Nike says the original Method putter starts the ball rolling a touch faster, but not by much. The company also says that the Method Core putter should give a softer feel than the original Method because the grooves are housed in the insert.
Method Core putters will be available in three blade models and two mallets, and all will come with a Black Nickel finish that reduces glare. None of the designs are shockingly unique, and in fact, all five will look familiar to many golfers.
Look for the new Method Core putters to start arriving in pro shops by mid-February
The video below, produced by Nike Golf, shows several of the company's staff players talking about the Method Core putters.

NEW YORK (AP) — Visa wants to make it easier for people to spot a cheaper prepaid card.
The payment processor said it will put labels on packages of cards that meet a new set of standards it unveiled Tuesday.
Those standards include a flat monthly fee and no hidden charges. Companies that issue Visa prepaid cards will have to apply for the new label, and the program is voluntary. It could take up to a year before the seal of approval starts showing up on packaging.
Prepaid cards are mainly aimed at people without checking accounts. The cards allow people to pay bills, receive direct deposits and swipe it like a debit card in stores.
But critics have said some cards aren't clear about what they charge, even attracting attention from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The federal agency is currently testing fee disclosures that it may propose on prepaid card packaging.
Visa hopes its new label will push card issuers to be more transparent and lower fees. To receive the label, the card must have no fees for declined transactions, calling customer service, paying at a cash register, using in-network ATMs or for getting cash back at a register. The cards also must be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. or the National Credit Union Administration. They will also have Visa's fraud protection.
The new standards were developed with the Center for Financial Services Innovation and The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Visa hasn't come up with a new name for the label yet, said Cecilia Frew, who oversees its prepaid card business. Since card issuers need to apply to receive the label, it could be nine to 12 months before Visa starts awarding them.
The new label is only for U.S. cards. Visa has 25,000 prepaid card partners around the world.

While official Washington is focused on potential tax hikes and automatic spending cuts, another fiscal crisis looms on the horizon. A report released Tuesday warned that the federal government is likely to hit a ceiling on issuing new debt come late December and could begin defaulting on obligations by mid-February.
The report from the influential Bipartisan Policy Center, a policy think tank, also highlighted why there's less room for the Treasury Department to maneuver than during last year's debt-ceiling debacle. The center warned that financial markets may see greater turmoil than in 2011.
The government should hit its $16.394 trillion debt limit during the final week of December, according to the center. The Treasury Department can, as it did in 2011, turn to a number of extraordinary measures to avoid defaulting on the debt it has already issued. The juggling act by Treasury is likely to run out, however, somewhere around mid-February.
That raises the prospects of a debt default by the world's largest and most developed economy, unheard of in modern times. Congress and the Obama administration last year dragged out negotiations to raise the debt ceiling – something previously done year after year without great controversy – over a period of roughly eight months. There won't be that luxury this time.
"The extraordinary measures this year will yield less money to Treasury to use than they did in 2011. That money will get you less time," said Steve Bell, director of economic policy for the Bipartisan Policy Center.
In last year's debt debacle, which resulted in an embarrassing downgrade of the U.S. debt rating by Standard & Poor's, the crunch time came after April, when millions of Americans paid what they owed in income taxes.
This time, the government is poised to run out of temporary fixes in February. That date, which the center calls the X Date, falls in a month when the U.S. government is supposed to provide tax refunds to millions of Americans who'd have already filed their tax returns for 2012. The center thinks that month alone, there'll be an outflow of $112 billion to taxpayers, along with another $117 billion owed to Social Security recipients and for reimbursement owed in the Medicare and Medicaid systems.
On top of that, there's $33 billion due on interest on the debt alone, and another $27 billion due to vendors who sell to the Defense Department. In all, the center sees monthly outflows owed at around $464 billion in February, compared to incomes revenue to the government of about $202 billion.
The Treasury Department declined to comment on the report. Spokesman Matthew Anderson pointed to an Oct. 31 estimate from the agency, which mirrored the center's concerns without offering numbers. Treasury warned that the debt limit could "be reached near the end of 2012" and that extraordinary measures would allow the government to pay its debts "until early 2013."
There are just four to six weeks of juggling available to the Treasury Department, vs. the roughly 11 weeks the agency had last year.
"Congress has a shorter amount of time to deal with this problem than it might expect," said Shai Akabas, a senior policy analyst at the center and co-author of the report.
At year's end, Bush-era income tax cuts are set to expire, as are a host of other tax measures such as extended unemployment insurance benefits and a temporary payroll tax holiday. And absent a budget deal, deep across-the-board spending cuts are scheduled to take effect early next year. Congressional leaders and President Barack Obama have said they're working on a two-step solution that addresses some of these matters in December with a mechanism to resolve the rest next year.
It leaves little room for attention to the coming debt-ceiling issue.
Last year, the debt ceiling talks hurt hiring and economic growth, erasing wealth from businesses and ordinary Americans alike. The Government Accountability Office estimated that the debt-ceiling standoff cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. The center puts the costs at $19 billion over 10 years, based on changes in the cost of borrowing during the standoff period and what the changes amount to over the maturity of that debt.
Ratings agencies Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings have threatened to join S&P in downgrading U.S. debt absent resolution of the debt ceiling. If all three take away the vaunted AAA rating of government bonds, many large pension funds and endowments may be required to shed them. It'd leave them only AAA-rated government bonds issued by smaller countries such as Switzerland and Norway.
"These markets aren't nearly as deep and as liquid as our market. Our sovereign debt market just overwhelms all the other debt markets put together," said Bell.

The Lakeshore Foundation, a Birmingham-based nonprofit organization specializing in providing fitness, recreation and athletic opportunities to people with physical disabilities, seeks to advise Alabama educators in the wake of a new federal guideline telling schools to provide equal opportunities in athletics for all students.
The Lakeshore Foundation, a Birmingham-based nonprofit organization specializing in providing fitness, recreation and athletic opportunities to people with physical disabilities, seeks to advise Alabama educators in the wake of a new federal guideline telling schools to provide equal opportunities in athletics for all students.
The directive, issued by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights on Jan. 25, specifically advises schools to provide an equal opportunity for students with disabilities to join athletic teams. If the school cannot do so without fundamentally changing the way the sport is played, it will be expected to provide other athletic opportunities for those students.
That is where the Lakeshore Foundation comes in. Apart from its other services, it already has a history of working with schools on how to accommodate student-athletes with disabilities, and has traveled to schools advising students, parents and teachers on opportunities for disability sports. Jeff Underwood, president of the Lakeshore Foundation, said educating schools on the federal guidelines won't be anything new.
"We want to be a resource to help people understand what it means," Underwood said, "and then to figure out a way to provide those students with opportunities, for students with disabilities, to be involved and benefits from sports."
The Alabama High School Athletic Association is taking a proactive approach to this education as well: It has already contacted the Lakeshore Foundation and invited it to take part in its annual track and field clinic this summer. Underwood said it will provide an opportunity to help explain what the directive "is and is not," while providing specific examples of how to accommodate student-athletes with disabilities.
Underwood said the Lakeshore Foundation has had a good partnership with the AHSAA, and has engaged in a dialogue with executive director Steve Savarese.
Savarese issued a statement on the guidelines after they were released.
"The AHSAA is mindful of the benefits derived from education-based athletics for all children, and we want to continue to do all we can to work with our schools and encourage them to include disabled students whenever possible," Savarese said in the statement. "We fully understand the positive benefits school athletic programs have for disabled students."
Savarese said the AHSAA supports the National Federation of State High School Association's stance on the guidelines. The national federation supports belief in the values of participation of all students and the provision of programs for students with disabilities to add value to their educational experiences. The NFHS and member state associations have pledged to work with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to "enhance participation opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities."
Underwood said the state has been receptive to student-athletes with disabilities, and believes the directive will only help it foster that inclusiveness.
"I think high school athletics in Alabama will become more inclusive," Underwood said. "It shouldn't work to the detriment of any athletic program in the state of Alabama. There's really no reason for it to hurt anybody or anything."
Underwood said the only way to measure the success of the directive will be to monitor participation by student-athletes with disabilities.
"I don't really see any reason why this shouldn't be successful," Underwood said. "I don't think there's much of a downside to this."

Poised to become Los Angeles' first woman and first African-American chief prosecutor, District Attorney-elect Jackie Lacey vowed Wednesday to make neighborhoods safer despite ongoing changes in the criminal justice system.
"Right now, L.A. County has had the lowest crime rate in 60 years, but realignment presents a serious challenge for me as the future district attorney," Lacey said during a morning news conference.
"In the San Fernando Valley, we're seeing an increase in property crime and I'm worried about that," she said later.
"I remember a time when no one said, 'Let's have lunch in North Hollywood' (because of the crime rate) and I don't want to return to that," Lacey added.
"I want to make sure we effectively use all the tools in the system, such as alternative sentencing."
Alternative sentencing courts give women, veterans, drug offenders and the mentally ill a chance to avoid a jail sentence by agreeing to receive substance abuse treatment and other services intended to keep them from going back to a life of crime.
Lacey noted that 75 percent of those released from state prison commit new crimes within five years. In contrast, participants who undergo treatment by order of alternative sentencing courts have a 30 percent recidivism rate; in some cases, it's only 10 percent.
Putting people in treatment programs costs much less than keeping them in jail. Lacey said a treatment program for women has saved taxpayers $6million.
Lacey remains concerned about Gov. Jerry Brown's realignment plan, which forced the county to assume public safety responsibilities previously held by the state, including jailing and supervising the probation of certain criminals.
She vowed to watch closely for upticks in the crime rate.
Lacey, currently the second-in-command to retiring District Attorney Steve Cooley, garnered 1.1 million votes, or 55 percent, on Tuesday.
She defeated Alan Jackson, assistant head deputy of the major crimes division, who got about 911,000, or 45 percent of the votes.
In a statement released Wednesday, Jackson said Lacey ran a "dignified" campaign.
"While she and I have serious disagreements, we share a commitment to making Los Angeles County a safer place to live. I look forward to working with Jackie and her administration to take on the dangerous criminals who threaten our community, fight for the vulnerable and for victims of crime, and work to keep children out of crime in the first place," the statement said.
She will be sworn in Dec. 3 to lead the nation's largest local prosecutorial office, with almost 1,000 attorneys, 300 peace officers and 800 support staff, and an adopted budget of $328 million.
At her election night party in Union Station on Tuesday, she talked about making history.
"When I started out in the justice system, it was thought to be almost impossible for someone of color to be in charge of the largest local prosecutor's office in the nation," Lacey said.
"The fact that voters are choosing the most qualified candidate, and that she happens to be a woman, and happens to be African-American, affirms our democracy," she added.
Lacey grew up in the Crenshaw District, graduated from Dorsey High School, and said in her home, the teaching profession was revered. But after a teaching stint, Lacey said she took an introduction to law class, and she knew that law was in her future. She now lives in Granada Hills.

Cell and Molecular Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics
Department of Cell and Molecular Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics
Kenneth D. Tew, PhD, DSc
About Us
Thank you for viewing the Department of Cell and Molecular Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics webpage. There is tremendous opportunity for students and postdoctoral fellows interested in joining our department. Over the last few years, laboratory space has been renovated, additional core facilities created and expanded, and new faculty recruited. Faculty research interests encompass disease-oriented research topics including drug discovery, cancer therapeutics, stress responses and redox pathways, G protein signaling in aging and neurological disorders, kinase signaling, epigenetics and cancer, neurological pathologies, proteomics in signaling and cancer.
Why Choose Pharmacology
The Pharmacology Graduate Training Program is well suited for students seeking a connection between the basic and clinical sciences. It is an integrative study that draws knowledge from several disciplines- biochemistry, molecular biology, and human physiology- to explain how drugs elicit therapeutic or toxic effects upon living organisms. Our studies are focused upon the discovery of biological mechanisms and the development of novel therapeutic agents to improve pathological conditions. Pharmacology is an extremely timely career track, as the utility of drugs in the management of disease is not likely to diminish. Pharmacology students obtain comprehensive training focused on critical thinking and innovation. Pharmacology is an ideal program for M.D./Ph.D. students seeking a natural link between the basic and clinical sciences, and for students interested in careers in biotechnology or the pharmaceutical industry. Graduates from our program have successfully transitioned to careers in biomedical science within academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and government agencies.
Departmental Highlights
- The Proteomics Center is housed within the department, and provides an opportunity for students and postdoctoral fellows to gain expertise that will prepare them for careers in academics or the pharmaceutical sector. The Thermo Orbitrap mass spectrometer enables the high-resolution analysis of protein post-translational modifications including glycosylation and phosphorylation. This newly acquired technology has supported growing research endeavors focused upon identifying biomarkers in human pathologies.
- Faculty members in Pharmacology hold two South Carolina Centers of Excellence Chairs. Funded programs emphasize our strengths in signaling and drug development. For example, the COBRE grant in Redox and Oxidative Signaling supports five independent faculty members and three core facilities, and provides a strong focus on how redox chemistry and biochemistry interface with pharmacology.
- As a result of these research strengths, in terms of NIH national ranking, the Department is now 27th out of 100 in terms of Medical School Pharmacology Departments. This is a very strong showing, especially when considering our modest size to that of larger departments at other Medical Schools.
- Interdisciplinary research endeavors with the College of Pharmacy, other departments within the College of Medicine and with the Hollings Cancer Center ensure a broad base of educational possibilities. Our department offers a wonderful opportunity to participate in, and contribute to, a greater understanding of drugs and how they work - all in a geographic location conducive to a high quality of life.

Hawkeye: Clinging to the home-front
"If you don't like the news, go out and make some!" [Hawkeye]
Good Saturday to friends, and loyal readers alike.
Hawkeye is here to tell you that the "Endangered Species" [The Tourists] are no longer on the endangered species list in greater Wonderland. Hawkeye never seen so many palagis in one place since he has had the privilege of residing in Paradise!
Three Cruise Ships literally back to back and two more after that! This is amazing fans!
Governor Robinson must be beside himself after such accomplishments towards a greater Tourism Industry.
Malo to the office of tourism and please keep up the good work.
Hawkeye had compooper problems this week which cost an Arm & a Leg to get rid of the virus. This is terrible, especially after having spent the other "Arm & Leg" on an antivirus update.
Hawk supposes the old answer of reporting scams to the better business bureau has grown obsolete.
While we are on the subject of better business, the good folks who are in the business of selling Cellular Phones should issue instructions as to how to use them.
Hawkeye sees older homo and younger homos alike speaking into their phones, and then moving the instrument up to their ear to listen. Someone should tell these homosapiens that their nice new phones can be used just like the old outdated Receiver Type Phones. You can speak and listen without moving the Instrument from Ear to Mouth, and Visa Versa.. Humm. On the other hand it is quite cute to watch as you are sitting in the sidewalk Cafes of Hooterville..
There still seems to be two major remarks coming from the mouths of the "CRUISE SHIP TOURIST'S." Why so much Rubbish, and why so many stray animals? These are both good questions to which Hawkeye certainly has no answers. If they think that is ridiculous, they should pay a visit to the falemai [Sick House],Apocalypse Over… But Hawkeye still believes that this Wonderland Paradise is still the best place to live in the whole wide world. Therefore we should endeavor to protect our beautiful close knit community by voting in the right local politicians this time around. Go in to that Polling Station with your heart on the pointed end of your pens! Take your own Pen folks, not the ones that can be erased! Thus, keeping the honest Homos Honest!
Now, Hawkeye and Sweet Leanor were watching the FNC on Monday Morning last, and Megan Kelley had this guy on that was in to the Doomsday Apocalypse. Not only is the guy an inventor of the ShovCrowmaddox, which is an all purpose survival tool, and can be easily folded up to fit in to your Back-pack. The guy also invented a compact weapon which cost him half of his thumb on his right hand. [He was optimistic though as he told Mrs. Kelley that he had a full thumb left on his left hand.] [Right: until he invents another compact weapon!]
There is thousands of Homo-sapiens roaming the wilderness with enough weaponry to start WWIII. These people are haters of everything free Homo-sapiens stand for. They like to be known as ["White Supremacist"] who probably didn't even love their Mamma's! These are the ones who lay around all day doing drugs and smoking "Wacky Bacci" while at the same time planning their next move on an unsuspecting weapons ketch at some Military Compound! These are the ones who hate any race including their own. These are the Homos that never will fit into modern society. These are for the most part: "DOOMSDAY PHILOSOPHERS!" Let's hope that we never need to depend on these idiots to come to our rescue during an "Alien Invasion!"
This is only more living proof that they are out there just waiting and watching to make their move. [The Alien's] not [The Skinheads]
What we need to do is to gather all of the Hate Groups in the United States, Load them all on a Cargo Ship headed for the Middle East, and land them somewhere east of Suez. Point them in the right direction, and with all of their pent up energy, unleash them on our potential enemies there in Iraq which is fast becoming an Iranian Estete. [State] Turn them loose against Iran's Revolutionary Guard; fly a few of them to Syria, Egypt, and other trouble spots that come to mind.
Give them gas for their Harleys, And a few spears to chuck at our potential enemies in places such as N. Korea, Kharg Island Terminal, and parts south.
This is the answer to our prayers folks, and turn loose Sarah Palin and John Bolton to command the unorganized task farce! See how easily solved the problems plaguing our leaders of the free world are these days fans. All we need do is pull together against each other and we are sure to Whine instead of Win!
Hawkeye was trying to do a "TIMMY TEBOW" Prayer Stance the other day in the Carport, and he wrenched his back outta kilter. Sweet Leanor said that is lucky for Hawkeye that he did not actually attempt to play football!
All for today folks, "C" Ya next week!
Hawk & Leanor.
