RADAR Online claims Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are all, but done. A source tells the site, ''Liam really does care about Miley, but her racy new look and sort of ghetto attitude isn't exactly what he signed up for. Her VMA performance absolutely mortified him and he couldn't be more embarrassed. He doesn't really see anything sexy about what she did on stage. It's pretty much over. He knows he can't stay with her when this is who she's become ... He doesn't want to babysit her anymore. He has to move on. It's not just Liam that Miley is pushing away ... His entire team is urging him to part ways with her because she's nothing but negative for his reputation and career. Liam is a serious actor with a growing career, while Miley has just turned into a joke.''
Showbiz Spy claims Lady GaGa recently caught a male hotel employee trying on her costumes. A source tells the site, "The guy just froze, horrified to be suddenly standing face to face with GaGa – and wearing her clothes! But instead of yelling for security and getting him fired, GaGa giggled and said: 'Honey, you have that outfit all wrong!' Not missing a beat, she adjusted his wig, chose another hat, and – shushing the guy's babbled apologies – started teaching him how to walk in her shoes. And she actually snapped a cell phone pic of them together! The guy went nuts! He just couldn't resist trying on one of her wigs – and then, caught up in the moment, he actually stripped and slipped on one of GaGa's bizarre outfits…including a pair of her towering, do-me shoes, topped off by a wild-and-crazy hat!''
Steven Yeun, who plays Glenn on The Walking Dead, tells Access Hollywood the cast gets free underwear. "I take mostly underwear from set. They give us pretty cool, good underwear, so you just find a reason to take it home every day and all of a sudden you now have 20 pairs of really nice underwear. It's sweaty [where we film], so you don't want to be running around in what you show up in."
Pam Anderson is running in the New York City Marathon to raise money for Sean Penn's J/P Haitian Relief Organization. She tells Entertainment Tonight, "I've never taken on a physical challenge like this but I am willing to do something to show my dedication. It is incomparable to the struggle people (there) face. I didn't just want to be the kiss at the finish line. I wanted to do more and if I can raise $500,000, it is going to be a blessing to Haiti. I've been a supporter of Jp from the early stages. In the last few years I have become more involved. If you go to Haiti, you fall in love. It is intoxicating."
Katy Perry's new CD is not dark. She tells Perez Hilton, "There's not really any darkness on the record. There's definitely some textures and colors but I think I was saying that when I was going through a different phase, but I really let that light in. The reason why I called this record Prism is because I actually finally let the light in and then I was able to create all these songs that were inspired by letting the light in and doing some self-reflection and just kind of working on myself. I felt very prismatic because of that; I feel like now I get to show these songs off and share these songs with the listeners and it's almost like I get to beam the colors that I've experienced out from me."
CMT claims Carrie Underwood recently shot the opening for Sunday Night Football.Her video includes cameos by New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt.
RADAR Online claims Jon Bon Jovi won't reconcile with Richie Sambora until he goes to rehab. A source tells the site, Jon has no intention of taking him back without Richie attending a serious rehab program. Six weeks ago, he and Richie had a two-hour call to patch things up, but when Jon made it clear that he would not take him back before he went into rehab, it was a deal-breaker. Richie had his heart set on being back for the tour dates in New Jersey — the talk did not end well. Sambora's inner circle is very concerned that he continues to drink in excess, despite doctor's warnings about possible severe — and life threatening — liver damage."
Richie tells RumorFix, ''This is not true. This is the biggest bunch of BS. No intervention ever took place. I truly wanted to come back to Bon Jovi for the fans.
Matt Damon worked hard to get in shape for Elysium. Hetells People he exercised for four hours a day and that his wife likes hisbody. "It was really hard because I love to eat and drink! It's very hardto motivate me to get in shape. When I did The Informant, I put on 40 lbs. andI was like, 'You kind of like this guy too?' I'm trying to talk her into[liking] that guy because that's the guy I'm most comfortable being. I'm at thepoint in my life where somebody was silly enough to marry me," Damon says,"and won't leave me if I put on a few pounds!"
Usher's 5-year-old son, Usher Raymond V, is recovering froma pool accident. A source tells E!, "My sources have confirmed that LilCinco [nickname for Usher Raymond V] is doing fine.

"I amblessed and fortunate to say that my son Usher V is doing well and isrecovering. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of prayers, love and support formy family's well-being,"
Kanye West may do a clothing line with Kylie Jenner. Shetells OK! magazine, "I was in the kitchen and so was he and I was just talkingabout my clothing line and how excited I was and he was like, 'Your clothingline–I can help you and design. We can do this!'"
Robin Thicke has fought hard to be accepted. He tellsThe Times magazine, 'I seemed like an anomaly. It makes people go, "Thatguy can't be for real." Black women got it because they could feel it wasauthentic. But white people? They'd go, "Nah, nah, nah, that's a white guytrying to be black. Trying to make soul music."'
Drake doesn't know why Amanda Bynes Tweeted him. Hetells XXL magazine, "I don't even know who that is doing that or what that's about.If that is her, I guess it's a little weird and disturbing. It's obviously abehavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whoever is behind it, whetherit's her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keepit going.''
InTouch Weekly claims Taylor Swift is messaging CriminalMinds star Matthew Gray Gubler. A source tells the magazine, "She messagedhim out of the blue in June to tell him she thinks he's cute. At first, Matthewdidn't believe it was her. Then Taylorinvited him to her house in LA for dinner, and he realized it actually was her!"
Jon Bon Jovi says his long shows are beginning to take atoll. ''It's pretty taxing physically, so I have to work really hard tokeep Humpty-Dumpty's pieces together. But that's just my physical being. I wastalking to a friend of mine and he said, "Why are you doing three-hour shows?"And I said, "I couldn't imagine doing a 75-minute or a 90-minute show. Iwouldn't know how to do that. Unfortunately, we grew up in the shadow of Southside[Johnny] and Bruce [Springsteen], and those guys that did these marathons. So Ilearned to want to do that. And now, that's what my audience is accustomed to,that's what I like to do and I have a catalogue that can hold up to that. Soyou have to push yourself every night and be the athlete who's ready for that."
Chris Brown took to Twitter on Tuesday to tell the worldthat he plans to quit music after the release of "X," his upcomingLP.The R&B singer said he's "tired of being famous for a mistake"he made when he was 18, referencing when he assaulted Rihanna.Both Brown, whohas had a string of other post-assault altercations and incidents on his rapsheet, and the music industry, which has promoted and booked Brown sinceshortly after the assault, have faced near constant criticism since thehorrific event that took place before the 2009 Grammys.

A source tells the site, "She's furious,humiliated and angry, but she can't do anything because she put her career onback burner and he supports her financially and emotionally. She can't talkabout her true feelings in public because she doesn't want to betray him justbecause he betrayed her. She feels betrayed that he didn't have the sense touse protection with a woman their circle of friends thought was a gold-digger."
Mark Wahlberg tells The Sun that Justin Bieber needs toclean up his act. "Justin, are you listening? Don't be so naughty ...Be a nice boy, pull your trousers up, make your mom proud and stop smoking weedyou little b**tard. He's a teenager living in a different day and age. I was inprison before I got a record out and I don't think he's been to prison. He's anice enough kid and you're going to be a teenager. But if you're being a teenin the spotlight you're going to be criticized for it. This career can beshort-lived - you might as well be the best you can while you're doing it."
Jon Bon Jovi's son, Jesse, has earned a roster spot on theNotre Dame football team. Coach Brian Kelly tells USA Today, "Jesse hasearned his spot on the 105, He's a tough kid. The kids really like him. Theyrespect him. They don't look at him as a rockstar's son. They look at him as akid that loves Notre Dame and wants to play football and help this team. He'shad a good summer. I'm a huge fan of Bon Jovi. Didn't have to have his son tomake that apparent. He had a reputation here. I think Charlie Weis, being from NewJersey, brought him into the Notre Dame family longbefore I came. He's a great guy. He's a grounded guy."

Wapello County has been chasing the health train for years, said Lynelle Diers, but the county is the 94th healthiest county in the state out of 99 counties.
At the Wapello County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday morning, Diers, the Wapello County Public Health clinical director, said Joel Spoonheim, Healthways manager of community programs who came to Ottumwa's October site visit, has explained why communities need to internalize the Blue Zones process and why it's so important.
The Blue Zones Project is a component of Gov. Terry Branstad's Healthiest State Initiative to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation by 2016.
Since the 1990s, Americans have been getting heavier and heavier, Diers said, manifesting itself in increased rates of heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.
"We're going to start outliving our children. We need to do something," she said. "It's not about blaming mom and dad or grandma and grandpa. We need to look at the big picture, at society."
Diers said Ottumwa needs to work on preventive care instead of waiting until someone becomes ill to try to fix the problem.
"What can we do now to make sure a person does not have a heart attack in 20 years?" she said. "We need to get ahead of this train. We've been chasing it for years."
The Blue Zones project outlines little things people can do to increase their wellness. Diers has emphasized from the beginning that it's not about forcing people to get a gym membership but about tweaking areas of their lives that will improve their health and wellness.
Diers noted that in the year after the Iowa Legislature passed the Iowa Smokefree Air Act banning smoking from restaurants and bars that serve food, the state saw an 18 percent reduction in hospital admissions, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health.
The Blue Zones process includes changing workplace attitudes as well, she said, which is key because most people spend the majority of their time at work.
"If you're happy at work, your longevity increases," she said. "But if you're miserable, statistics show that it does affect your health."
Ottumwa's Blue Zones committees are still meeting and working on a budget, Diers said. If the city is chosen as a demonstration site in January, Healthways will pay for three full-time positions, while Ottumwa will be expected to provide for three other full-time positions as well as office space.
"But if we're not selected, we would still like to become certified," Diers said.
Supervisor Greg Kenning was concerned that Blue Zones officials would ask Ottumwa to do things the city wasn't prepared to do.
"I was surprised by some of the questions we were asked," Kenning said of Ottumwa's April site visit. "I got the feeling that they were looking for a group that had already achieved results in this area."
One of the questions he said city officials were asked was how many fast-food restaurants the city had closed.
"I saw [Ottumwa City Administrator] Joe Helfenberger look aghast," Kenning said. "We don't close businesses."
But since then, Diers said, Blue Zones officials have had to change some of their guidelines and requirements. They would not ask communities to close fast-food restaurants now, she said.
"People still have to have the choice," Kenning said.
Wapello County Public Health also received a two-year, $88,000 per year Community Transformation Grant from the Iowa Department of Public Health.
The grant's program director, Joni Elder, has already done two nutritional assessments of local restaurants and vending machine assessments in the county. Wapello County's vending machine companies now fill the machines with nearly one-third healthy food, Diers said. Elder has also begun walkability and bikeability assessments of the community.
"We're very fragmented in this community," Diers said. "We need to start working together. We need to pool our resources because right now we all work in our silos."
Diers, Helfenberger and Indian Hills' Rural Health Education Partnership Chairwoman Lori Reeves will travel to Mason City on Friday for the community's kickoff event. Mason City was one of the first four communities designated as demonstration sites in May.
In other business, the supervisors approved several amendments to the county's 2012-13 budget, including bonding for $500,000 for the new communications towers. While the E911 Board is paying for the new towers, Supervisor Steve Siegel said since the board is unable to bond for a project, the county will do so and then the board will reimburse them for the cost.
The footings for the towers will be installed in December so that crews can begin constructing them over the winter. Once they are up, Supervisor Jerry Parker said antennas can be attached and the system will likely be ready by spring.

Propaganda in the US Losing its Shock and Awe
Wednesday 04 July 2012'With the Supreme Court decision to uphold Obamacare and the Eric Holder contempt charges almost a full week behind us now, the international corporate mafia and their propaganda machine are falling prey to their own tactics.
The psychological programming that has been initiated over the past twenty years has been centered on an acceleration of a false reality, punctuated with graphic portrayals of the most heinous activities human kind is capable of. The desired effect is a two week emotional memory span wherein psychological trauma quickly diminishes and the people, as a whole, return to their base consciousness, thoughts, and concerns.'

Paris Fall 2012: Dior, Isabel Marant
(PARIS) Dior
Bernard Arnault obviously knew something that the fash-cognoscenti did not when he gave Bill Gaytten a few seasons to flex his muscle at Dior. Following a strong couture showing in January, Gaytten's Fall RTW effort was particularly focused on the type of buy-now, wear-forever separates that haven't, until now, been a Dior hallmark. The working woman will find a lot to love: tailored jackets, modest mid-calf skirts in washed silk, belted, soft-shouldered jackets in materials du moment like leather and fur, all in an adult palette of dusty rose, charcoal, sienna, blush, and burgundy. The evening offerings—floor-grazing draped numbers in silk chiffon, mostly—were a bit less novel, although perfectly elegant. So will a new creative director be named? Maybe, but it doesn't seem particularly urgent.
Isabel Marant
A cash cow for department and specialty stores alike, Isabel Marant is faced with a particular challenge: how to deal with the endless assault of knock-offs of her once go-to style (kicky booties, romantic tops, army jackets)? Reinvention, of course. For Fall, perhaps as a nod to her newfound fame in America, she went Western, with floral-embroidered jackets, shirts, and even pants that would look right at home at, say, a rodeo. The romantic touches, like high-necked lacy tops and dresses, arrived in full force, and worked charmingly with the low-slung embellished trouser she's endorsing this season.

Ruff Ruff! My name is Taylor
found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Other Pets at Shelter...
Taylor's Info...
Rescue Group: Camp Cocker Rescue
Breed: | Cocker Spaniel | Color: | Brown/Chocolate | Age: | Adult |
Size: | Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less | Sex: | Female |
Taylor is like a gorgeous brown teddy bear, with fur that feels like a soft stuffed animal. She has stunning chocolate and tan markings and the most beautiful big brown eyes. She also has the loveliest temperament -- calm and happy and easygoing -- and her tiny tail never stops wagging. And to top it off, she walks beautifully on a leash!
What a transformation little Taylor has undergone! When Camp Cocker first met Taylor, she had a long list of medical problems, including horribly calcified ears. Taylor needed to have double ear ablation surgery, so she is deaf but her ears don't bother her anymore.
We think Taylor is somewhere between 5 and 9 years old. She needs medicated baths a few times a week for her skin issues, but otherwise is a healthy, happy girl! This special girl has a lot of love to give to someone who will love and care for her in return.
Click here to check out TAYLOR'S PICTURES to see how gorgeous she is!
If you are interested in meeting Taylor, please begin with the online application and read about our adoption process and adoption fees here. Thank you so much for supporting animal rescue!

roponents of tougher gun laws felt that momentum was finally on their side, after a string of horrific mass shootings last year propelled the issue back to national prominence.
Yet months later, gun legislation has been watered down due to a lack of support in Congress. Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association, once thought to be on the ropes, has emerged stronger than ever.
The NRA posted its biggest fundraising month in over a decade in February, raking in almost $1.6 million dollars, according to Politico and Federal Election Commission filings. It's the gun lobby's biggest haul since October 2000, when the organization raised a ton thanks to George W. Bush's first presidential campaign.
The February haul comes on the heels of a stellar January for the NRA, when the organization pulled in $1.1 million. By comparison, the NRA raised $14.3 million in all of 2011 and 2012 combined.
The news comes days after Senate Democrats announced they were dumping a proposed assault weapons ban from pending gun legislation because they lacked the votes to break a GOP filibuster. It was a demoralizing defeat for a key Democratic proposal that at one point appeared to be gaining support from gun-friendly lawmakers.
A series of high-profile shootings last year, capped by the Sandy Hook massacre, sparked widespread outrage and renewed calls for tighter gun laws. After Sandy Hook in particular, which left 26 dead, most of them children, the NRA faced its most intense criticism. The media pilloried the group's CEO, Wayne LaPierre, as an out-of-touch "gun nut" who was the "craziest man on Earth," and it seemed for a time like change was inevitable.
"Is the Mighty NRA Beginning to Topple?" a Forbes headline asked in December.
But while calls for tougher gun laws grew louder, so too did the NRA's opposition. The organization released a number of no-holds-barred ads, with one calling the president an "elitist hypocrite." To back that up, the NRA also stepped up its fundraising pitch, warning members that Obama and congressional Democrats were going to curtail their right to bear arms.
There are signs the NRA's efforts have paid off. In addition to the massive fundraising haul, the assault weapons ban the group vehemently opposed is toast. And a CNN poll released this week found that support for major new gun laws — which a clear majority of Americans supported in the immediate aftermath of Sandy Hook — had fallen to a 43 percent, mostly due to firmer opposition from older, rural Americans.
"They can call me crazy, or anything else they want, but the NRA's nearly five million members, and America's 100 million gun owners, will not back down, not ever," LaPierre said in a speech to CPAC last week.
If that sounds like a familiar story, that's because it is. It's the same pattern that has played out following past tragic shootings, with the NRA time and again effectively raising millions and leading a successful drive to thwart new gun bills.
A review of annual NRA fundraising totals compiled by OpenSecrets.org shows, perhaps unsurprisingly, that an intensification of the gun law debate has corresponded with a spike in NRA donations. Donations rose in 1994 when Congress debated an assault weapons ban, but then fell back to normal levels for the next half decade. When the Columbine shooting and presidential election returned gun laws to the forefront of political discourse in 2000, donations skyrocketed to $3.1 million from $2 million the year before.

Pan American Airways Global Holdings issues this modified statement in correcting the release issued on October 22, 2013. Eaton-Texas Investments, Inc. was inadvertently referred to as Eaton-Texas International in the release content, and issues the following statement in its place:
Pan American has signed an exclusive agreement with Eaton –Texas Investments, Inc. of Houston, Texas to acquire its equity stake in the assets of the former Ryan International Airlines, Rockford, IL. In February 2013, Ajet Holdings, of Las Vegas, NV acquired the common stock and certain assets from Federal Bankruptcy court during Ryan International'
Numerous attempts were made to resurrect the airline under the auspices of different business models with the current asset holders but were unsuccessful for various reasons. Investor concerns began to amass when in July 2013 the FAA began the process of revoking the Air Carrier Operating Certificate for non-use. During the summer, investor concerns again were elevated by lack of progress in repayment and the legal issues that followed one of the managing principles.
Pan American began exchanging dialogue in August 2013 with Eaton-Texas Investments over the acquisition of their equity position with Ajet Holdings. Discussions ensued sporadically through late September, when the equity investors instructed Eaton-Texas to force a liquidation of their investment connected with the Ryan assets. On October 20, 2013, a final purchase agreement was formally ratified and approved by both members after final terms were adjusted and amended.
This acquisition will provide Pan American with the needed FAA certification required for market entry in 2014. Formal approval by both the FAA and the DOT will ultimately be the deciding factor of when the carrier can begin to operate once again.
Follow Pan American Media for further upcoming details associated with this purchase.

Click here to return to previous page Article published Oct 11, 2012 Chevron, Alcoa lead market downNEW YORK Downbeat reports from Alcoa and Chevron at the start of corporate earnings season pulled stock indexes lower for a third straight day Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average slumped 128 points, its steepest loss since late June. Alcoa, the aluminum producer, beat Wall Street's earnings estimates on Tuesday night, but said it expects a slowdown in China to weaken demand for aluminum. The company is often used as a weather vane for the global economy. "And judging by Alcoa's massive inventory of aluminum, it seems pretty anemic," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. Chevron, the country's second-largest oil company, warned late Tuesday that slumping oil prices and production would cause earnings to be "substantially lower." It blamed Hurricane Isaac for disrupting refinery production. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court refused to block a $19 billion judgment levied against Chevron by an Ecuadorian court for polluting the Amazon. "It's beginning to look like we might have a lot of gloom-and-doom earnings calls this quarter," said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at Ameritrade. — The Associated Press Order the Telegram & Gazette, delivered daily to your home or office! www.telegram.com/homedelivery Copyright Worcester Telegram & Gazette Corp. |

Gov't downsizes amid GOP demands for more cuts
Sequester deadline March 1
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans and other fiscal conservatives keep insisting on more federal austerity and a smaller government. Without much fanfare or acknowledgement, they've already gotten much of both.
Spending by federal, state and local governments on payrolls, equipment, buildings, teachers, emergency workers, defense programs and other core governmental functions has been shrinking steadily since the deep 2007-2009 recession and as the anemic recovery continues.
This recent shrinkage has largely been obscured by an increase in spending on benefit payments to individuals under "entitlement" programs, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. Retiring baby boomers are driving much of this increase.
Another round of huge cuts — known in Washington parlance as the "sequester" — will hit beginning March 1, potentially meaning layoffs for hundreds of thousands of federal workers unless Congress and President Barack Obama can strike a deficit-reduction deal to avert them.
With the deadline only a week off, Obama and Republicans who control the House are far apart over how to resolve the deadlock. While last-minute budget deals are frequent in Washington, neither side is optimistic of reaching one this time.
Even as the private sector has been slowly adding jobs, governments have been shedding them, holding down overall employment gains and keeping the jobless rate close to 8 percent, compared with normal non-recessionary levels of 5 to 6 percent that have prevailed since the 1950s.
"It's a massive drag on the economy. We lost three-quarter million public-sector jobs in the recovery," said economist Heidi Shierholz of the labor-friendly Economic Policy Institute. "We're still losing government jobs, although the pace has slowed. But we haven't turned around yet."
A larger-than-usual decline in federal spending, notably on defense programs, helped push the economy into negative territory in the final three months of 2012. Economic growth, meanwhile, has been inching along at a weak 1-2 percent — not enough to significantly further drive down the national unemployment rate, which now stands at 7.9 percent.
Although federal spending is projected to decline from 22.8 percent of the gross domestic product recorded last year to 21.5 percent by 2017, it still will exceed the 40-year-average of 21.0 percent, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Spending peaked at 25.2 percent of GDP in 2009.
The budget office also said the economy is roughly 5.5 percent smaller than it would have been had there been no recession.
The Defense Department already has made deep spending cuts, and outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said 800,000 civilian Pentagon employees were notified this week they likely are to be placed on periods of unpaid leave due to lawmakers' failure to act.
The recent downsizing in government is most pronounced at the state and local levels. Most states have constitutional or statutory requirements for balanced budgets.
That means nearly all states are prohibited from running budget deficits, while the federal government is not.
Not only can the federal government run deficits, but it can print money — through actions by the Federal Reserve — something states are prohibited from doing.
Those calling for a smaller government mostly don't take notice of the wave of recent cutbacks. Their clarion call remains Ronald Reagan's mantra: Government doesn't solve problems, it is the problem.
"This spending issue is the biggest issue that threatens our future," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, says. "When are we going to get serious about our long-term spending problem?"
And Florida Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, delivering the GOP response to Obama's State of the Union address, said "a major cause of our recent downturn was a housing crisis created by reckless government policies."
Soaring recent government deficits are partially a side effect of the worst recession since the 1930s, which took a huge bite out of tax revenues at the same time spending increased on recession-fighting programs like unemployment compensation and stimulus measures under both Presidents George W. Bush and Obama.
"The problem going forward is one of demographics and rising health care. It is the baby boom generation retiring," said Alice Rivlin, a White House budget director under President Bill Clinton. "It's the fact that everybody is living longer."
Republicans argue that entitlement programs should be on the cutting board as well as other government programs. Democrats generally have been more protective of them, although the president and many congressional Democrats acknowledge some paring of these popular programs is in order.
The federal budget deficit for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 is estimated to be $845 billion — the first time it's dropped below $1 trillion in five years. But it's on track to rise again as more and more baby boomers retire and qualify for federal benefits and as interest payments
on the national debt keep going up.
The national debt first inched past $1 trillion early in the Reagan administration and has grown in leaps and bounds ever since through both Democratic and Republican presidencies. It now stands at $16.6 trillion and is on a path toward soon becoming unsustainable, both parties agree.
Unchecked, entitlement payments will add roughly $700 billion to the debt over the next four years.
For now, though, "the economy is continuing to heal from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression," top White House economic adviser Alan Krueger says.
Under the sequester law, roughly $85 billion in federal spending would be slashed in the remaining seven months of this fiscal year and a total of $1.2 trillion in cuts over 10 years.
While entitlement programs and uniformed military personnel would be exempt, the rest of the government would be hit with indiscriminate across-the-board cuts.
Obama wants government deficits trimmed through a mix of selective spending cuts and new tax revenues, mostly by ending deductions and tax credits frequently claimed by the wealthiest Americans.
Republicans oppose any new taxes, even if for closing loopholes rather than increasing rates.
The looming spending cuts were first scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1. But they were postponed to March 1 as part of year-end "fiscal cliff" negotiations that also raised tax rates on affluent Americans. Republicans insist that's enough tax increasing for now.
