The Obama administration warned Congress on Monday that the United States could run out of money to pay its bills soon after mid-October if lawmakers do not move swiftly to raise a limit on government borrowing.
"Congress should act as soon as possible to protect America's good credit," Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in a letter to congressional leaders, urging action "well before any risk of default becomes imminent."
The government has been scraping up against its $16.7 trillion debt limit since May, but has avoid defaulting on any of its obligations by employing a number of emergency measures to manage its cash, like suspending investments in pension funds for federal workers.
Lew said the government will exhaust its borrowing capacity in the middle of October and be left with about $50 billion in cash on hand, an amount that he said could conceivably be wiped out in a single day. That would make default imminent and could shake investors' confidence in the United States, he said.
"Such a scenario could undermine financial markets and result in significant disruptions to our economy," Lew added.
Republicans are considering using the need to raise the debt ceiling as leverage for their agenda in Congress. The party is trying to weaken President Barack Obama's signature healthcare overhaul. Conservatives also want to reform tax laws and get Obama to approve a proposed oil pipeline.
"The debt limit remains a reminder that, under President Obama, Washington has failed to deal seriously with America's debt and deficit," said Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner.
While Congress has already taken the tax and spending decisions that have fueled U.S. budget deficits, it also separately controls the limit on the nation's debt.
Previously, the Obama administration had said Congress needed to act by early September, but a strengthening economy has boosted tax receipts, buying the government more time before it runs out of borrowing room.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has said the government might not exhaust its borrowing capacity until November, an estimate in line with private sector forecasts.

I'm hardly a blame-free driver. My wife admits that I'm technically more in control of the car than she is, but I've never properly absorbed the rules of the road — especially about who goes first at intersections. Fair enough.
But this column isn't about me, it's about you — the other drivers I encounter "out there" in the great American highway diaspora. And here are five dumb things you habitually do on the road:
Failure to move on green lights: I don't know what you people are doing in your cars (actually, I do know because I can see the cellphones), but you're curiously oblivious to signals. I have a fair level of patience (actually I don't, but that's another story) and have actually sat through whole green light cycles as the driver ahead dithered. This issue is compounded when they wake up at the last minute and make it through the intersection, but leave you stranded as the light goes yellow and then red.
Relentless signaling: Are you ever going to make that turn? I've been following you on the highway for 15 minutes, as your car relentlessly signals a right turn that will seemingly never occur. Can't you hear the annoying noise and see the little arrow blink? What are you doing in there? (OK, I see the cellphone.) Maybe you need a primer on how to use a turn signal.
Gross polluters: I understand that you can't afford a new car. Times are tight. But there's really no excuse for spewing out a cloud of dense black smoke as you drive. If the car's that bad, you should leave it at home and make other arrangements. Especially if you're going to be ahead of me on the highway. You're also really doing damage to our poor planet. Gross polluters like your hunk o' junk are only 10 to 15 percent of the vehicles on the road, but they're supposedly responsible for more than half of all auto-related smog.
Limbs hanging out of cars: I don't know why this bugs me so much — it just does, OK? Feet are the worst. Suppose a tractor-trailer passes within inches and takes that leg off at the knee? Don't say I didn't warn you. It's illegal in Australia, where "a person must not travel in or on a motor vehicle with any part of the person's body outside a window or door of the vehicle, unless the person is the driver of the vehicle and is giving a hand signal." (We still have hand signals?)
Stupid bumper stickers with small type: It's not my fault I'm riding your bumper to read the insulting prose. If one sticker assails gun control and another supports Ron Paul for President, I should be able to intuit the third one, but that's still me on your tail, straining to see your other libertarian positions.
This is just scratching the surface. I'm leaving out smugly superior Ferrari drivers speeding near schools, people who park gas cars in EV-only charging spots, numbskulls who take up two spaces in crowded parking lots and huge SUVs wasting my time as they try to squeeze their bulk through tight corners.

The mayor's ambitious redevelopment plan faces steep hurdles in gaining support from a politically divided city.
This is the third part in a three-part series on the recent history of Charlotte. Part one explored Charlotte's rapid rise. Part two explored the city's recession-era collapse.
CHARLOTTE – In 2014, work on a $5.25 billion project to double the size of the Panama Canal should at last be completed. When it's done, the world's largest cargo vessels – known as post-Panamax ships – will finally be able to pass through it. Right now, the largest ships that can navigate the canal carry 5,000 cargo containers. When the expansion is complete, ships that can carry 13,000 containers will be able to pass through.
The expansion is expected to have a dramatic impact on trade between Asian nations – most notably China – and the United States. Right now, post-Panamax ships are forced to dock on the West Coast. Goods are unloaded and shipped east by rail. In 2014, these same ships will be able to unload on the East Coast. This will dramatically lower the cost of Asian products that reach the U.S. market.
Ports on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico are frantically upgrading equipment, roads and rails to keep pace with the canal expansion and prepare for the influx of cargo. Some cities are counting on the canal to be a key driver of economic activity in the coming decades. One of those cities is Charlotte.
In May, work began on the $92 million Charlotte Regional Intermodal Facility, a 200-acre rail cargo transfer station. With a completion date set for 2013, the facility is poised to become an integral part of Norfolk Southern's Crescent Corridor, connecting ports in New Jersey and New Orleans with eastern cities.
The facility, which is expected to process 200,000 cargo container transfers each year, is located between two of Charlotte Douglas Airport's runways, allowing easy access to air cargo. It employs rail infrastructure left over from Charlotte's days as a textile giant. And it will be connected to the city beltway via a new interchange. It is expected to bring billions of dollars in new business.
According to City Manager Curt Walton, projects like the intermodal yard are key to Charlotte's continued growth. He says the city is also in need of what he calls "transformative projects," or projects that can systemically attract new industry, create new jobs and transform low-income neighborhoods.
Walton included these types of projects in a $1 billion capital spending plan in his 2011 budget. It included $25 million to renovate a local stadium into an amateur sports center, as well as $119 million for a streetcar program. The plan also included a series of infrastructure improvements in poor areas of the city.
It's imperative for Charlotte to grow its tax base – especially the real estate base – beyond the southern part of the city, Walton says. Right now, home prices are only going up in the south quadrant. Prices are falling in the rest of the city.
South Charlotte "can't afford to keep paying 50-plus percent [of taxes] and the other three quarters of the city can't continue to drop like a rock," Walton says.
If the tax base doesn't expand by the next property assessment reevaluation in 2015, the city could be in danger of loosing its triple A bond rating. The ratings agencies "have been telling us for several years that you have to figure out a long-term growth plan for the city," Walton says.
"A lot people think that I am crying wolf,"he adds. "They are very, very wrong."
An Unmoved City Council
Charlotte's City Council hasn't taken Walton's advice very seriously. They rejected his spending plan, which was to be paid for with an 8 percent tax increase, in a 6-5 vote. Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx vetoed the council's decision, but the plan was shelved. Walton tells me there is no point in going forward without unanimous support.
The vote highlighted two related challenges for Charlotte. The first is political apathy. Many people who live here are transplants and are not historically engaged in the city's civic life. Turnout in the last mayoral election was just 16 percent, the lowest in years. And the majority of these transplants live comfortably in south Charlotte, well insulated from problems elsewhere.
In the rare instance where a broad base of residents are engaged – as is the case with public schools or public spending – a second challenge emerges: protecting political interests. Andy Dulin, a Republican who represents south Charlotte, tells me he doesn't believe government should be in the development business. David Howard, a Democrat, says the more fortunate people in south Charlotte have an obligation to help the rest of the city.
"We used to have conversation about what we need to do with our kids. The conversation today in this community is what's good for my kid," Howard says. "We used to do things that were good for the community as a whole… Now that we arrived, we don't care about what happens to each other any more."
With political and racial divides as pronounced as they are, it will be hard to build consensus on how to grow the city, especially with the slow economic recovery. But without drastic changes, growth is likely to continue to be concentrated in the city's southern neighborhoods. A light rail line connecting the south suburbs with the city opened in 2007 and has been an unqualified success. Similar transit projects linking other parts of the city have fallen flat.
But even with these challenges, the city continues to grow. According to Bob Morgan, president of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, 30,000 new residents are coming to the city each year. The city's energy sector, led by Duke Energy, is growing quickly. Foreign companies like the German manufacturing giant Siemens have offices in the city. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte will soon have more students than Chapel Hill.
Nearly all of this excitement is happening downtown or in the city's south. And if anyone understands the need to develop all of Charlotte, it's Mayor Anthony Foxx.
Standing for the New South
Foxx knows first-hand many of the challenges the city faces. He grew up in a single-parent family here and attended West Charlotte High School. He went on to Davidson College, just north of the city, and received his law degree from New York University. He eventually returned to Charlotte, was elected to the city council, and in 2009 became the city's youngest mayor, at age 38.
Foxx was elected just as Charlotte was feeling the full impact of the financial crisis. Unemployment was at 13 percent and it wasn't yet clear how many more banking jobs would be lost. But his election marked a decided change of direction: he was the first Democrat elected mayor since 1987, and only its second African-American.
Foxx called the city council's recent no vote on the capital spending project "perhaps the most irresponsible decision in City Council history."
"We have to develop a plan and …there's pain ahead associated with it," Foxx says. "I'm optimistic the guts of the proposal that we just considered will be the blue print in which we will proceed."
The lifestyle that Charlotte sold for decades is changing, Foxx says. As the city grew into the suburbs, it offered the perks of low-density growth: large homes and yards, safe and open streets, and new, high performing schools. But as the city runs out of land to annex, it must concentrate on higher density development closer to the city center.
"We ought to urbanize in a way that is intentional, a way in which we establish land-use patterns that are linked to our transportation network, particularly transit," Foxx says. "We protect those quiet corridors of the community but we find places in the community where we want to invite dense population growth."
Foxx also recognizes the steep achievement gap in Charlotte schools. He praises Project L.I.F.T. (Leadership and Investment for Transformation), a non-profit with a fundraising goal of $55 million to help students in west Charlotte. He also stresses that it's important for children to have realistic professional ambitions and recognize the need for post-high school education.
Foxx spoke Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention, taking place at Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena. With all eyes on his city this week, he says he's focused on making sure the country understands Charlotte's remarkable growth and the opportunity it continues to offer for businesses and workers.
"It's a city that took a kid, who grew up in a single-parent family 41 years ago, gave him great schools, gave him a great neighborhood, gave him safe streets, and years later became mayor. That's the type of story that's possible in Charlotte," Foxx says. "There's a humility built into the way the city talks about itself. Now is not a humble time."

The Tea Party's rhetoric sounds good--cut spending and relegate government to its limited constitutional confines--but will it translate into meaningful action once the Tea Partiers join the ranks of the Washington establishment? It's too soon to tell, but there's one area where immediate steps can be taken to make good on platitudes about debt slashing and big government bashing: scaling back our bloated federal estate.
In what is hardly a symbol of constrained federal power, fully 25% of the U.S. is managed by the federal government. Despite an expansive national debt, legislation pending in Congress proposes to spend nearly a billion dollars each year acquiring even more land. But if the results of the mid-term election are any indication, now is the wrong time for such an expansion.
The government's primary land acquisition program, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, is set to expire in 2015. This week Congress will consider permanently funding the LWCF at $900 million per year, adding countless more acres to the federal estate. A recently leaked memo from the Bureau of Land Management foreshadows this expansion. It identifies millions of acres throughout the West that the government intends to acquire with funds from the LWCF.
But given the condition of our existing federal lands, even conservationists should be asking, why add more?
Federal land management has largely resulted in poor stewardship of America's most treasured natural areas. Maintenance, in particular, has been dismal. The Forest Service estimates a backlog of $5 billion in deferred maintenance projects and the National Park Service has a backlog of more than $10 billion. The outcome is overflowing sewer systems, failing roads and ruined cultural resources.
But that hasn't stopped these agencies from acquiring even more land. Since 1960 the government has taken over more than 50 million acres--an area the size of Utah.
To an increasingly conservation-minded public, putting more land in government ownership might seem sensible. But, in reality, more federal land does not necessarily mean more conservation. The LWCF only provides funds for land acquisition, not for the care and maintenance of same. And given the current management needs of the 650 million acres already owned by the government, spending millions acquiring new land is irresponsible.
The reason for this mismanagement is simple: Federal land management is political land management. Decisions are made in Washington, D.C., rather than locally, where land managers are best equipped with the knowledge of where funding should be allocated. Politicians and bureaucrats want to provide visible benefits, such as new parks and buildings, to gain constituent support while the day-to-day needs are shoved to the sideline until a crisis occurs.
Consider the $1 million outhouse built in Glacier National Park. Despite requests by local park managers for funds to repair the failing foundation of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Congress earmarked millions for elaborate back-country chalets, complete with a pricey composting toilet.
Years later, road closures and safety concerns prompted emergency funds to be allocated to repair the deteriorating road, costing taxpayers far more to rebuild than to simply maintain.
Or consider the millions of acres of wildfire-prone forests that span the West. Decades of fire suppression and restrictions on logging have created unnaturally dense forests prone to catastrophic wildfires.
Instead of acquiring more land, Congress should protect the land it already owns. This is best achieved by decentralizing management of the federal estate. Local land managers are beholden to the land's users and beneficiaries, not D.C.-based politicians or bureaucrats. The result is better stewardship, enhanced accountability, and controlled costs.
Giving states more control is one way to do this. Since state lands are often managed for the benefit of schools and other beneficiaries, land managers must invest in the long-term health of the land. And they do so at a fraction of the cost. While the federal government loses money with every dollar it spends on land management, state trust lands earn an average of $9 for every dollar they spend.
Extending the LWCF will only increase the national debt and give the feds more power--all in the guise of conservation. If the Tea Party wants to make good its rhetoric, they'd do well to end this expansion of the federal estate.

Brazil to win after xtra time 2-1.
have you seen brazil play football?
Maicon and Baston will be utterly hopeless against quality wingers (Elia, Robben)
The midfield of Brazil is their weakness, way to slow! van Bommel, De Jong and Sneijder will find a lot of space there.
Problem with The Netherlands is that we haven't played a decent team yet that will let us attack, so far we've played 4 teams (maybe not Cameroon) that basically dug themselves in and always had 9 man behind the ball.
put 25 euro on Holland winning via Unibet...odds are 4.09 I think, would make me a solid 100 euro's
Admire your optimism, but honestly can't see it happening. No the Dutch haven't had anyone really attack them, but I'd be more worried about Fabiano/Robinho/Kaka running at the dutch defence than Van Persie/Robben/Kuyt. De Jong/Van Bommell can't mop up everything
we'll see
if we get to 60% of the Euro 08 group games, we'll beat Brazil.
I like both teams.... hopefully the team that plays good brand of football.. wins.
I can see this going into extra time as both teams are pretty good defensively.
Brazil are only dull if you're expecting them to play as a hybrid of the 1970 and 1982 teams.
They're extremely solid defensively and excellent to watch going forward on the counter attack. As far as brilliance in attack goes, they're still the team to beat, most of their goals so far at the World Cup have been out of the top drawer as far as attacking brilliance goes, either individually (Maicon, Ramires' run to set up Robinho vs Chile), or collectively (Elano vs North Korea, Luis Fabiano vs Chile).

Restoration, in English history, the reestablishment of the monarchy on the accession (1660) of Charles II after the collapse of the Commonwealth (see under commonwealth) and the Protectorate. The term is often used to refer to the entire period from 1660 to the fall of James II in 1688, and in English literature the Restoration period (often called the age of Dryden) is commonly viewed as extending from 1660 to the death of John Dryden in 1700.

Action News investigation: Colleges profiting from student meal plans (Part 3)
WTAE's Jim Parsons reports
The price of college keeps going up, but it's not just tuition running up the bill, it's meal plans, too.
In Part 3 of a Channel 4 Action News investigation, Jim Parsons has a different look into West Virginia University's system for doling out food to students.
Read Jim's previous reports: Part 1 | Part 2
Like most colleges, West Virginia University requires students living in dorms to buy a meal plan, but unlike those in Pennsylvania, WVU doesn't have a profit-sharing agreement with private food service vendors.
That's because the university doesn't use a vendor. Instead, it operates its own dining halls with university employees.
WVU also does something most universities don't. It offers free food to hungry students, with no strings attached and no questions asked.
The Rack is a meal plan for students at the university that carries no contract and no price tag.
"Knowing that students were out there hungry is unimaginable to me," said Jacqueline Dooley, program coordinator at WVU's Student Organizations Services.
Almost 70 percent of WVU students need financial aid to help pay for college. For most of them, that's enough to pay their bills, but not all.
"The parents didn't have enough money to put on their debit cards, so the parents were struggling at home," said Dooley.
In 2010, Dooley opened the Rack with support from student volunteers as a temporary safety net at the height of the national recession. The response was beyond what she imagined.
"We began to receive all these notes (like), "Oh my god, I was hungry. Oh my god, I haven't had food. I'm broke. I ain't got no money,'" said Dooley.
The Rack was supposed to be closed by now, but the food donations just keep coming in, and so do the hungry students -- 200 every month -- looking for help.
Chemistry graduate student Doreen Makaia said her cupboards are bare.
"If you were to go in my freezer, there is nothing," Makaia told Parsons.
"We buy most of our food every month, but we use this to supplement what we buy," student Drew Lovejoy, of St. Albans, W.Va., said of The Rack program. "Honestly, it's a great idea by the university, it helps those students who come here and don't have a lot for food."
Now in its third year, The Rack has become a permanent fixture on the WVU campus, supported almost entirely by volunteers and donations.
"We have served so many students and they are very appreciative," said Dooley.
WVU is one a growing list of universities that have opened campus food pantries, including Iowa State, Tennessee State and the University of Arkansas. UCLA was the first to establish a food pantry in 2009.

17-year-old Helena Muffly wrote exactly 100 years ago today:
Sunday, December 15, 1912: Went to Sunday School this afternoon. Jimmie also has the pink eye and says I gave it to him. He was real mad for a time.
Her middle-aged granddaughter's comments 100 years later:
Poor Jimmie—pink eye is no fun.
Of course, Grandma's seven-year-old brother is right—he probably caught the pink eye from Grandma . She wrote that she had pink eye on December 10—and that it was getting better on December 12.
Did the Muffly's try to prevent the spread of pink eye?
Here's what I found in a hundred-year-old book called Personal Hygiene and Physical Training for Women about how to avoid infections (though it focuses on influenza rather than pink eye).
We have already seen that bacilli are not only the cause of acute infections, but also of chronic bronchitis, and that this was especially true of the bacillus of influenza and the pneumococcus of pneumonia.
It is well know that influenza is an infectious disease, which rapidly spreads through the family and the community., but it is not so well-known that the so-called "common colds," ordinary sore throat, and tonsillitis are also highly contagious. The infection is carried from one person to another by direct contagion; the air is being constantly sprayed with the germs of disease in talking, laughing, sneezing, and coughing. In coughing and sneezing it is not sufficient to hold the hand before the moth—a handkerchief must be used for this purpose.

Notes from today's matches…
Under-12 Girls
After a scoreless regulation and overtime, penalty kicks were required to determine a winner between So Cal Blues Baker (CA-S) and Washington Premier FC 01 Black (WA). It took seven kickers on each side to finally determine a winner as So Cal keeper, Ryan Campbell came up huge with the final save to ultimately give So Cal the region title.
Under-13 Girls
Surf Academy (CA-S) defeated Heat FC 01 RM (NV) 2-1 to wrap up the Under 13 Girls group. Mia Fishel set the tone early for Surf when her first goal came in the fourth minute, and her second came just eight minutes after that. Fishel finished with four goals in the tournament, which was good enough to tie for first along with teammate Madison Mercado among others. Heat got back in the match in the 66th minute thanks to a goal from Alysa Caso, but it wasn't enough, as Surf was able to hold off the comeback attempt and secure a trip to the National Championships.
Under-14 Girls
2013 Region IV and National Champions Legends FC came from behind for the 2-1 victory against La Roca thanks to a pair of goals from Emily Knous. Olivia Wade struck first in the 35th minute with her seventh goal of the tournament for La Roca. Knous equalized in the 58th minute and gave Legends the lead for good in the 70th minute. Both teams will head to nationals due to Legends finishing in second place in the US Youth Soccer National League Blue Division. La Roca heads to nationals as the Region IV Representative.
Under-15 Girls
Pride Predators 99 (CO) had already punched their ticked to the National Championships thanks to a first place finish in the National League Red Division. Pride Predators added a Region IV Championships to their list of accolades after defeating Legends FC Sanchez (CA-S) 2-0. Pride Predators broke the stalemate in the 14th minute courtesy of Athena Kuehn, and doubled their lead in the 35th minute on Hannah Burgo's goal. Legends FC will still advance to the National Championships as a Region IV Representative.
Under-16 Girls
Beach FC 97 Academy (CA-S) finished off an impressive run scoring 27 goals and failing to concede any over seven games. All of this culminated with a 5-0 victory over PacNW 97 Maroon (WA) in the finals. Daria Patredes, Logan Karam, Rocio Rodriguez, Carley Brown and Savannah DeMelo all scored for Beach. DeMelo's goal in the 66th minute was her eighth of the tournament, giving her the most in the group.
Under-17 Girls
Defending Region IV, and 2012 National Champions Legends FC (CA-S) defeated Pride Predators 97 (CO) in the second match of the day between these two clubs, 2-0. Desarae Felix scored in the 55th minute to put Legends up 1-0, and Dayna Garcia sealed the deal in the 85th minute for the 2-0 victory. This marks the third straight trip to nationals for Legends, but the first time they were required to win the region title after failing to qualify via the national league.
Under-18 Girls
Players SC 96 Elite (NV) defeated Albion SC White (CA-S) 2-0 to become the second Nevada team to claim a Region IV Championship. Sydney Sladek was the hero for Players with two goals in the span of four minutes. Her second goal saw her dribble through the entire Albion defense before finally burying her shot into the back of the net to secure a win, and a berth into the national championship.
Under-19 Girls
Legends FC (CA-S) will return to the national championships for a third straight year after defeating NM Rush 95 (NM) 6-2 in the final. Danielle Lopez scored a brace in the first nine minutes while Mckennah Spagnola added a pair of her own in the 22nd and 41st minutes. Samantha Koemans and Kirsten Martin also scored for Legends while Sidney Otto was the only goal scorer for NM Rush. Legends went 4-0 in pool play, which included a 3-1 victory over NM Rush on Thursday, June 19. Victoria Barba and Otto ended up tied for the lead in goals scored for the age group with five. Legends will be seeking their first national title after reaching the finals in 2012.
Under-12 Boys
FC Golden State PDA 02 (CA-S) won the first of two regional titles for the club against fellow California South team, Surf Boys Academy (CA-S) 2-0. Emiliano Gutierrez got FC Golden State off to a quick start in the eighth minute, and Kijana Banks squandered any Surf attempt to equalize in the 60th minute to give the club its second straight Under 12 Boys Championship.
Under-13 Boys
FC Golden State PDA 01 (CA-S) defended their 2013 Region IV Championship against SJ Earthquakes 01 Pre-Academy (CA-N) 3-1. SJ Earthquakes began the scoring in the opening minute with Fabian Rodriguez finding the back of the net, but seven minutes later it was Erik Celestino equalizing. Alan Piceno gave FC Golden State the lead in the 27th minute, and Matthew Hoppe added an insurance goal in the 65th minute. FC Golden State will head to its first National Championship after winning the Under 12 Boys regional title last year.
Under-14 Boys
Real Colorado National 99/00 defeated Grande Sports Academy (AZ) 2-1 to be the second Colorado team to capture a Region IV Championship. Liam Johnson started things off for Real Colorado in the 12th minute, and Ben Shepherd added another goal in the 32nd minute. Garrett Murray cut Real Colorado's lead in half, but Grande Sports Academy was unable to net the equalizer.
Under-15 Boys
Pateadores San Diego became the third straight team to defend their Region IV Championship in the Under 15 Boys group after Santa Barbara SC (CA-S) and Fullerton Rangers 96 White did the same in 2013 and 2012 respectively. Brian Melchor broke the scoreless stalemate in the 19th minute, and Christopher DePetro scored his group-leading ninth goal of the tournament in the 80th minute. Pateadores would like to follow in the footsteps of Santa Barbara and Fullerton at nationals too, as both teams would go on to win their second straight national championships in the Under 15 Boys group.
Under-16 Boys
Two-time defending national and regional champs, Santa Barbara SC (CA-S) defeated SC del Sol 98 Colavecchia (AZ) 2-1. Francisco Arroyo set the tone for Santa Barbara early in the fourth minute, only for John Rea of SC del Sol to equalize 10 minutes later. It was Sahid Conteh who scored the game winner in the 37thminute that allowed Santa Barbara to capture its fourth Region IV Championship in five years. While one title defense has been completed, one still remains. Central Valley Mercury (CA-N), Arsenal FC (CA-S), Dallas Texans Red 88 (N-TX) and Real So Cal (So Cal United) are the only four teams to win three consecutive US Youth Soccer National Championships. Santa Barbara will look to join that prestigious company in Germantown, Md.
Under-17 Boys
After losing in the finals in 2010, the last time the Region IV Championships were held in Albuquerque, N.M., LVSA 97 Red (NV) defeated Valparaiso United FC 97 (AZ) 5-1 to punch their ticked to the national championships. After going down 1-0, thanks to a goal from Valparaiso's Josias Ortiz Cruz, LVSA scored five unanswered goals to claim the region title. Four of those goals came from Miles Mcrae in the 26th, 68th, 77thand 90th minutes with Jackson Dietrich adding another in the 47th minute. Today's performance gives Mcrae eight goals in the tournament, and the top four scorers in the Under 17 Boys group were from LVSA with Dietrich, Tristian Blackmon and Elijah Ruffer joining Mcrae.
Under-18 Boys
After going down 2-0 in the first seven minutes to Fram Premier (CA-S) thanks to goals from Tx Tario and Grant Sampson, Miguel Padron scored four straight goals for Santa Barbara FC White (CA-S) in the 30th, 47, 48th and 85th minute to give Santa Barbara a 4-2 lead. Sampson scored his second in the 85th minute as well, but Geoffrey Acheampong scored his sixth goal of the tournament in extra time to shut to door on a Fram comeback with a 5-3 victory and join U16B Santa Barbara SC at the national championship.
Under-19 Boys
NM Rush 95 (NM) had high hopes of becoming the only Albuquerque, N.M. team to win a Region IV Championship after leading 2-1 at halftime with goals coming from Jermey Klepac and Luke Lawrence, while Alum Rock PAC Tigres' (CA-N) goal was scored by Cesar Garcia. However, Alum Rock (CA-N) reeled off four unanswered goals as both Andoni Trejo and Edwin Luna each scored a pair to ultimately win 5-2. Alum Rock will move on to play for the storied James P. McGuire Cup, the oldest trophy in youth sports, after a comeback victory.
The US Youth Soccer National Championships will consist of US Youth Soccer Regional Champions in the Under-13 through Under-19 Boys and Girls age groups as well as the US Youth Soccer National League qualifiers in the Under-15 through Under-18 Boys and Girls age groups to complete the field of 96 teams.

TECH14 with mixture complex
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
Bernice Garnett
posted on Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 9:18 am
I am getting a warning message that Tech 14 is not available for Type = complex. I am running an LCA with complex survey data (kids nested in schools) and so I have been using Type = mixture complex to account for the non-independence of observations within schools.
I wanted to compute a parametric bootstrapped test because I have sparse data.
Do you know how I can do this while also accounting for clustering with a type = mixture framework?
Many Thanks

I am also getting this same warning and was wondering if there was a known reason for it? My syntax is virtually identical to that in Appendix C of the Nylund dissertation as I am also working with peer victimization data.
Many thanks

TECH14 has not been developed for complex survey data.
J.D. Haltigan
posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - 11:51 am
To be sure in the Nylund et al., 2007 CD paper, she mentions using a sandwich estimator to account for the nonindependence of students nested within schools. Cross-referencing this with her dissertation she notes in a footnote that the (nonindependence) adjustment is specified using 'type = complex'. Since the 2007 CD paper reports the BLRTS for different class models and Appendix C in the dissertation shows TECH14 along with Type=mixture complex, it is not clear to me in the 2007 CD paper how nesting was handled (since BLRTS are reported which can not be obtained in TYPE=MIXTURE COMPLEX) in the different class runs for peer vic. Am I misreading it or was nesting handled in a different way in the 2007 CD paper?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - 2:31 pm
Type = Complex affects the estimates when weights are included and affects the SEs due to weights, stratification and clustering. The Tech14 BLRT is not developed to take these features into account due to the complexities of doing the bootstrapping with weights and clustering.

Raising the bar on nerdy wedding proposals, YouTuber doctorpappa (possibly not a real doctor) decided to ask his girlfriend to marry him by donning a paper-mache Futurama Bender mask, and popping the question in binary.
...Though they don't need to stress about finding a member of the opposite sex to force into marrying them, as pop-up wedding chapel iDo also performs commitment ceremonies; fake weddings and even pet weddings. Taking design cues from Apple's retail stores, iDo at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas also gives newlyweds rings made out of erasers, because nothing says love like rubbing out the words on your marriage certificate after you come to your senses the following day.
There aren't many more humiliating things to happen to you if you're a man than being turned down by the woman you love when you propose to them. But if you happen to be on camera at the time, up on the big screen of a basketball game, on "Mistletoe Cam" no less – that's just got to be truly gut wrenching. I'm cringing just thinking about it. Ouch.
Attention lonely internet lurkers, there are girls out there who totally "get" our internet humour and still love us! Like Audrey, the lovely girl in this video who was proposed to by her boyfriend Tim with internet memes. Watch the video, it's so gosh darn cute.

Improvements include operation from 12 V to 15 V supplies, a 1/2 LSB linearity grade, faster Interface times and better full scale and reference variations with VDD. Additional features include extended temperature range operation for commercial and industrial grades.
The AD7245A AD7248A is a complete, 12-bit, voltage output, digital-to-analog converter with output Amplifier and Zener Voltage Reference on a monolithic CMOS chip. No external user trims are required to achieve full specified performance.
Both parts are Microprocessor compatible, with high speed data Latches and double-buffered Interface Logic The AD7245A accepts 12-bit parallel data which is loaded into the input latch on the rising edge of CS or WR. The AD7248A has an 8-bit wide data bus with data loaded to the input latch in two write operations. For both parts, an asynchronous LDAC signal transfers data from the input latch to the DAC latch and updates the Analog output. The AD7245A also has a CLR signal on the DAC latch which allows features such as power-on reset to be implemented.
The on-chip 5 V buried Zener Diode provides a low noise, temperature compensated reference for the DAC For single supply operation, two output ranges of 0 V to +5 V and 0 V to +10 V are available, while these two ranges plus an additional 5 V range are available with dual supplies. The output Amplifiers are capable of developing +10 V across a 2 kOhm load to GND.
The AD7245A AD7248A is fabricated in linear compatible CMOS (LC2MOS), an advanced, mixed technology process that combines precision bipolar circuits with low power CMOS Logic The AD7245A is available in a small, 0.3" wide, 24-pin DIP and SOIC and in 28-terminal surface mount packages.

By default the YAMON bootloader only enables the UARTs it is using, two at max. For Au1100/1550 only UART0 and UART3 are enabled, leaving UART1 non-functional. You can simply edit the reset source file named arch/init/reset_<name of your platform>.c to enable it. Check for the uart_enable register (Offset=0x0100 from the base address) in the databook. After you've enabled it, the Linux kernel serial driver is able to detect it.

This has been a day of posts!!
Done all sorts of things over the weekend, and found this video...had to share it : )
Human.4 by Michael A. Lancaster
All there is left is a cassette tape. Old technology – worthless in today's society of the 21st century and the upgrades we've done…
For Kyle, it all started on a summer day in the small
. The local talent show, a tradition for this town of 1,000, was about to start, and Kyle, his best friend Simon, and Simon's girlfriend Lilly wanted to see if Danny Birnie could actually hypnotize people. But no one volunteered, so Kyle did. village of Millgrove
It was this decision that propelled him into the unbelievable, enough to drive a person insane…
When Kyle comes out of his hypnotic state, he realizes something isn't right. Every one on the green isn't moving. Televisions, telephones, and computers aren't working. Weird green symbols flash onto the screens of the computer he checks – it looks more like an alphabet, but he isn't sure.
And then the village awakens. And it's what they've become. Human or inhuman? And what about Kyle, Lilly and the other two that were hypnotized? What did they miss? But more importantly, what have they themselves become?
Kyle soon pieces together the only parts he knows how to and what he and the others discover is something they can't even comprehend. But Danny, their off-kilter friend knows the truth, and he gives them a choice. Follow or be erased….

Blood on My Hands by Todd Strasser
One year ago, Katherine Remington-Day asked Callie to sit with her and Dakota at lunch and it changed Callie's life. Her best friend had moved away, and her boyfriend, Slade, joined the national guard. Callie's only connection to safety were the few phone calls and instant messages she and Slade shared, a long cry from the two years they'd been dating. But now, in the small town of Soundview, Callie had a chance at a social life, and she took it.
What she didn't expect were the nuances and dance friends played when they became Katherine's friend. It came with a price – sometimes something trivial, sometimes something serious, but Callie knew if she bent to Katherine's rules, there would be a next time. She didn't know if she wanted to give more that she already had, and Katherine made her choose between Slade and her friends. Callie thought she chose wisely, but now, on the run for murder, the only person she can rely on is Slade.
With his help, Callie is able to elude the police, but she knows time is running short. And with flashback memories, she is able to piece together enough personal information to figure out who the killer is. But will she be believed? And is it enough?
Strasser comes back with another YA thriller, following on his Wish You Were Dead book. Fast paced, the reader is allowed into the present and past lives of Callie and her friends and is able to see just who her friends really are and the various motives they'd all have for murder. Not only that, but the situations Callie goes through are believable instead of far-fetched, the plot is tightly written, and the ending will surprise. The reader feels for Callie, and believes her story, but continues to look for clues as to whom it would be. It's one of those books where you want to flip to the end to find out who the killer is, but decide to wait to see the story unfold. For those readers who enjoy mystery fiction, this is one to put in their hands.

And this is what a weeded book looks like afterwards...
The Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride
Now, Cooper, Noelle's older brother, is telling Tessa she's alive and coming home. After two years of abduction by a stranger, Tessa's best friend is back, but not completely. Tessa thought it was hard to live knowing her best friend was gone, possibly killed. She'd gone through therapy to understand that loss, but now…it's harder to live knowing Noelle is back and what happened to her. Two years at the hand of a monster can change a person to someone you never even knew. How do you deal with something like that? Can a friendship you thought was gone forever be re-kindled, and more importantly, can it be the same?
In high school, Tessa's passion in photography has put her in the advanced classes, which she loves. A new student, Max, is in her class too, and Max sees Tessa for more than what she shows to everyone else, and slowly Tessa lets him into her world. The theme for the next photography project is the opposite of tensions – up down, hot cold, lost found….and all Tessa can think about is Noelle,
"kidnapped, abducted, snatched
Enslaved, imprisoned, restrained."
When Noelle finally tries to start a normal life by entering into high school, both girls know it will be a long, hard journey, with students knowing what happened to Noelle, with Noelle facing her past and present, and with Tessa trying her hardest to create the perfect balance for not only her best friend, but herself and Max as well.
Kristina McBride creates a dramatic and bold debut novel that deals with real-life issues that have been on the front pages of newspapers as well as televisions today. Many people see the "inside story" of an abductor and can only imagine the horror. McBride writes about the opposite of the abductor and focuses on the life of the abductee after her rescue and the implications of her new life on her as well her family and friends after the tragic events have been aired in public. Paired with the photographic theme of Tessa's work that creates not only the title of this book, but permeates with symbolism throughout, McBride has created a novel that will keep the reader engaged with the characters as well as the plotline and relationships, and what ultimately will happen to Tessa and Noelle…is there such a thing as resiliency after something that devastating? This debut novel focuses on the now and how the victim and those closest to her must cope with the tragic loss of two years without reliving the past and its brutality. Perfect pairing with Mazer's The Missing Girl and Scott's Living Dead Girl.

Damn you cat-eye. I've attempted you hundreds of times and I can never get you right. Mastering the skills of the cat-eye look has been my Achilles heel for as long as I can remember. It takes a steady hand and a lot of patience--two things that I unfortunately do not have. womp womp.
Then I stumbled upon this genius video tutorial from the hair pin that literally teaches you the EASIEST way to get the perfect cat-eye every. single. time. I'm not messing with you. I tried it over the weekend and I actually had the perfect cat-eye for the FIRST TIME!!!!
The secret is scotch-tape, who knew! Although I wouldn't recommend putting tape around your eyes everyday--I think it's definitely something that you can do, if you're like me and want to do it every once in a while.

Dash-cam video shows high-speed school bus chase
Nathaniel Shipman facing 3 criminal charges, still at MDC
New Mexico State Police released dash-cam video on Monday of a chase in early March that ended with a speeding stolen school bus crashing into a median in Albuquerque.
KOAT obtained four different dash-cam angles from state police, all with different perspectives of the same event that crippled Albuquerque traffic earlier this month.
Early on the morning of March 9, a school bus took police on a ride like no other. Dash-cam video captured the last leg of Nathaniel Shipman's bus route from Grants to Albuquerque.
The dash-cam video showed an officer responding to the call of a speeding stolen bus barreling down Interstate 40 eastbound. At that point, he had no idea that he'll be the one to eventually bring the bus to a stop.
Video showed the bus whizzing by near Atrisco Vista Boulevard and the aforementioned officer join in the caravan of dozens of officers in hot pursuit of Shipman.
The bus' tires started to shred as road spikes blow them to pieces, but that didn't stop Shipman, police said.
The dash-cam video showed a state police officer trying over and over to ram the bus in an attempt to stop it. That didn't work, and the officer ended up with a blown-out tire, too, so he pulled over.
At that point, the first officer, with his dash-cam still running, took over, his efforts causing Shipman to lose control of the bus, police said.
From another view of the dash-cam, the bus is seen making its final fishtail, slamming into a median.
Officers rushed the bus, firing their guns, hitting Shipman twice.
Police said they believe Shipman stole the bus on the night of Thursday, March 8, from Herrera Bus Company in Albuquerque and then drove it to Grants that night.
On the morning of March 9, police said Shipman was spotted in Grants and rammed a police cruiser when they tried to stop him. That's when the chase began.
Shipman is facing three criminal charges from this event. He remains locked up at Metropolitan Detention Center-Bernalillo County.

Site, Contractor Chosen for Horse Park Arena
The talking is done. Now, it's on to the next phase after the Florida Horse Park board of directors on Thursday selected both the final site and the contractor for a covered arena, which will be funded by a $2 million award given by Gov. Rick Scott in May.
The board selected McLauchlin and Company as the contractor for the arena, which is expected to cost an estimated $1.8 million.
A week ago, the board was faced with a conundrum after it became clear that if the arena was built in its intended place — per the park's master plan — it would set up a situation where once other planned facilities, including an indoor arena and a show jumping stadium, were built, they would encroach on the current eventing and driving courses.
If not for those disciplines paying for use of the facility for the past several years, the park may not have survived.
Two choices were presented to the full board on Thursday after the board's executive committee spent several days discussing multiple options.
Eventually, the final decision was probably the easiest. The original layout was moved up to hug a tree line. A large water retention area planned for that area was elongated and expanded to another area.
But one board member, Leslie Law, a well-known eventer, was concerned that the master plan seemed lacking in adequate areas for horses and riders to warm up.
"There is nowhere to get ready. There is one or two horses in the arena, but there are 30 or 40 horses trotting, walking, cantering around. If you have no warm up, people won't come," Law said.
Law's concerns were allayed by Jim Payton, the board's treasurer.
"We always talk about the master plan, but the master plan is a conceptual plan; it's not carved in granite anywhere," Payton said, adding that Law's concerns wouldn't need to be addressed until well into the future.
The horse park was created in 1996 by an act of the Florida Legislature and covers 500 acres in southeast Marion County off County Road 475. It has an estimated total cost of between $60 mlllion and $70 million. The arena is the first significant step toward the proposed facilities.

Stanek, Anderson Lead Diamond Hogs Past Tennessee
Arkansas evens weekend series with 11-1 win
After dropping a 2-1 lead the night before, the Arkansas baseball team made sure that once they got ahead of Tennessee, they stayed ahead.
The no. 14-ranked Razorbacks (33-17, 16-9 Southeastern Conference) scored at least one run in each inning, and Ryne Stanek turned in another stellar performance on the mound to beat the Volunteers, 11-1, at Baum Stadium Saturday night.
"It was two different teams from yesterday to tonight," said head coach Dave Van Horn after the game. "I'm not even talking about on the field. I'm just talking about mentally. We were ready to play tonight."
Stanek, a junior right-hander from Overland Park, Kan., scattered five hits over seven shutout innings with two walks and nine strikeouts, improving his record to 7-2 on the season.
Tennessee put two runners on base with one out in the top of the second inning, but then Stanek struck out Pierce Bily and Derek Lance to escape unscathed.
"Early in the game, I really couldn't throw my fastball for a strike," Stanek said. "Everything was up. Then, as soon as I got a little tired it started calming down. It got a lot better because I was able to throw my slider, curveball and changeup for a strike."
Sophomore Brian Anderson led Arkansas at the plate, hitting 4-for-4 with a homerun, a triple, a walk and 3 RBI.
Arkansas scored a run in each of the first three innings on an RBI single by Dominic Ficocello, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Tyler Spoon.
In the fourth, Anderson hit a 2-2 pitch from Andy Cox off the batter's eye in center field for a two-run homerun, giving the Razorbacks a 5-0 lead.
"Really, I was just seeing the ball well and swinging at pitches that were in the strike zone," Anderson said. "It seemed to always find a gap today."
Anderson's triple in the sixth inning scored Matt Vinson, and Ficocello followed with a sacrifice fly to drive in Anderson with Arkansas' eighth run.
Redshirt freshman Landon Simpson replaced Stanek in the eighth inning and gave up an RBI double to Vincent Jackson, and then walked the next batter he faced before leaving the game with two outs.
Freshman left-hander Colin Poche finished the game, giving up only one hit with three strikeouts.
The two teams will meet in the deciding third game on Senior Day for Arkansas, Sunday afternoon at 1:05. Senior left-hander Randall Fant (4-1, 2.27 ERA) will start for the Razorbacks in his final regular season game at Baum Stadium.

The cuddly Dutch honkballers lost to Venezuela, 3-1, in this afternoon's edition of the World Small Sample Size Bingo Tournament, which means the Netherlands' Cinderella run may soon come to a close. Dank God.
Not to be a wet blanket here, but there's something a little unsettling about the sudden Rudyfication of the Netherlands team - a process that reached its zenith with today's New York Times weepy about the general manager and his late son, who died of cancer six years ago. The Dutch have put up some atrocious numbers so far, hitting as a team like nine Neifi Perezes (.157 with a .385 OPS through five games); on the mound they have more walks than strikeouts. (And not to go all Franz Fanon on you, but considering that 11 of the team's 26 players hail from the old slave-trading outposts in the Dutch Caribbean, doesn't this team belong as much to the West India Company as it does to the Netherlands?)
Team Netherlands is a big honkballing symbol of the major underlying flaw with the WBC, which is that a single baseball game is basically a dice roll and says little about who's actually better. This makes for a lot of delirious fun — witness the Dutch upsets of the Dominican Republic –- but it's also deeply problematic, at least if the tournament's ever going to be anything more than a triennial curio. As Joe Sheehan noted the other day, the WBC desperately needs to add some sort of qualifying round, which would help weed out weaker teams, like the Netherlands. It would also lend some credence to the currently laughable notion that the event is a meeting of "the best baseball-playing nations in the world," as the WBC's site puts it, rather than a crass collection of emerging baseball markets that the MLB hopes one day to exploit (China, come on down!). By allowing so much mediocrity to wreak havoc on its brackets, the WBC is exposing itself as less a sporting event than a trade summit with eyeblack.
