Supreme Court health care ruling increases the probability of second term for Obama
The ruling is likely to make the law much more popular among dubious independent voters.
By John Stoehr Published 03 July 2012 10:59If there was news before last Thursday, no one in the United States remembers, because all we have been talking about since then is the US Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act, which is the real name for "Obamacare". The high court, in a 5-4 decision, decided that the law affecting every single American citizen is constitutional, even the much-vilified individual mandate.
For those who have better things to do than keep track of our opaque and overly complicated debate over health care, "Obamacare," as it is widely known here, is our attempt at universal health care, a feature of every rich country that has been debated in the US since the Nixon era. We have known for a long time that the cost of health care could cripple the economy, and indeed, it has outpaced the rate of inflation by double digits. Other than education and housing, no other cost of living has grown so rapidly over the past decade, but no one had been willing to bear the political risk, especially after the beat-down suffered by Bill Clinton in 1993 when he tapped his wife, that wonky First Lady Hillary Clinton, to devise a way forward.
Broadly speaking, there are two ways of achieving universal care. One is to tax people and give the money back to them in the form of health care. The other is to force them to buy health care or pay a penalty. Either way, you pay. The only difference is you pay for something (that's good for you) or pay for nothing. In procedural terms, there is no difference between these, and the end is the same — everyone is put into a risk pool so that the healthy are underwriting the sick and the sick are not subject to the inhumane whims of the free market.
The means to that end, however, are laden with politics. Because Republicans are usually allergic to the idea of taxes, they hated the Clintons' proposal, and countered with a proposal of their own that avoided the appearance of a new tax. Instead they preferred a method that forced people by law to buy health insurance — and that became known under President Obama as the individual mandate.
Yes, the individual mandate that was embraced by a Democratic president, and passed by a Democratically-controlled Congress, was originally conceived by Republicans who were countering proposals made by a Democratic president. And that's not all.
Obama had wanted to put in place a "public option," which meant more or less greater access to Medicare (old-age health insurance). But that, too, was blocked by Republicans. So Obama, being the deal-maker that he is, put on the table something he thought even the Republicans couldn't turn down — their own policy idea. He was wrong, of course, and for the past two and a half years, we have seen an enormous effort on the part of Republicans and conservatives to show they never liked the individual mandate even though they were once its most vocal champions.
Since the late 1980s, the legal test of the mandate had always been assumed to be a slam dunk. Forcing people to buy health insurance was believed be lawful as it fell under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to regulate interstate trade. A health care market already existed, many reasoned, so Congress would be regulating a market that was already there.
But after Obama championed, and Congress passed, the individual mandate, Republicans and their libertarian allies, some of whom are billionaires and heads of health insurance corporations who spent millions fighting the law, essentially moved the goal posts, as we say here. No, they said, a health care market does not already exist (never mind that everyone needs health care), so making people buy anything is unconstitutional or un-American. In fact, that sounds like something only an Islamist-communist-fascist dictator like Barack Hussein Obama would do.
In the end, the ruling came down to Chief Justice John Roberts, who was nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush. It had been assumed that Roberts would side with the court's conservative wing who had determined that the Commerce Clause argument vis-à-vis the individual mandate was invalid. Even though Roberts agreed, he found that the individual mandate could stand under Congress's undisputed power to tax. If you don't buy health care, you pay a penalty. Roberts reasoned that this is a tax, whether you call a tax or not.
As I said, this was the very thing Republicans wanted to avoid: universal health care that relies on a universal tax. Republicans don't like to go on record as having voted in favor of a new tax. So the individual mandate was from the start an ingenious way to avoid the appearance of a new tax even though the money people would spend on insurance would be in effect the same money they would pay in a new tax.
This, again, is why there is no difference between these methods. So it is ironic that a conservative judge nominated by a conservative president has declared that a conservative idea meant to avoid looking like a tax says, um, it looks like a new tax.
It is doubly ironic, because Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential challenger, is now using that conservative judge's opinion against the president even though Romney, when he was the governor of Massachusetts, implemented the ingenious Republican idea of an individual mandate in that state.
If your head is swimming, hold on. It gets worse.
Romney's record on health care in Massachusetts, however admirable, is a liability among the GOP's conservatives, who already believe universal health care is code for "creeping communism". That Obama modeled his health care legislation on Romney's has always carried the unfair implication that Romney wasn't a real conservative. Obamacare, rightly or wrongly, has been very unpopular, mostly because most people don't understand it and the president has done a poor job of selling it. Romney can satisfy his base while making a legitimate bid for independent voters by vowing to repeal Obamacare.
But the Supreme Court ruling complicates matters. First, its seal of approval is likely to make the law much more popular among dubious independent voters, especially as its components become better understood, so that the more Romney vows to repeal it, the more he seems to be rehashing a settled issue.
Second, the Republican leadership is making a lot of noise over mandate as a tax, claiming that Obama has just pushed through the largest tax increase in American history (which is patently false). The more they push the tax message, the more Romney has to defend his record so that he doesn't appear to be a tax-and-and spend politician much like the president.
2012 is turning out to be the year of looking-glass politics. Romney once took credit for Obama's decision to bail out the auto industry when he had nothing to do with it. Now he could legitimately lay claim to having influenced the greatest piece of domestic legislation since the Great Society of the 1960s, but he wants nothing to do with it. Such are the times for a Republican presidential hopeful and such is the rising probability of second term for Obama.

When properly explained ? Anyway, please visit this - forex blog, its a great site.
Mitt Romney has made it abundantly clear what ACA is not; it is not a tax, Mitt agrees 100% with Obama on this claim.
Romney Senior Advisor Eric Fehrnstrom told The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd that Mitt Romney thinks the health care law is not a tax;
any Republicans who say otherwise are completely out of touch with their chosen leader. what a mess, what a bunch of clowns, but then what did one expect..?
and before you can say flippety flop, the Romney camp now says it is a tax;
(CBS News) Two days after his top adviser insisted otherwise, Mitt Romney on Wednesday told CBS News chief political correspondent Jan Crawford that President Obama's individual mandate - upheld last week by the Supreme Court - is "a tax."
so there we have it, Mitt's senior advisor says Mitt doesn't think it was a tax, but now Mitt has corrected him to say that it is....
....bunch of amateurs, fiddling while Rome burns.
I think the author has it backwards & we'll find out in about 4 months. We're all educators of voters now till November in terms of Obamatax. 51 is the magic number in the Senate for repeal of this monstrous tax law.
"Everyone knows why Obamacare is bad. It will expand the deficit, a problem that John Roberts's opinion makes materially worse. It rations Medicare. It forces between 17 and 25 million more people into Medicaid, a program with some of the worst health outcomes in the world, in which people die of toothaches because they can't gain access to care. It raises taxes by more than $500 billion over ten years.
In 2011, the average family health plan cost $15,073, a jump of $1,303 — 9.5 percent — from 2010, the year that the president signed Obamacare into law".
It is grotesque to describe as progress a mandate that leaves healthcare in the hands of non-productive, profiteering middlemen running insurance companies. More than one poll has demonstrated that, when properly explained, over 60% of the US public want a single-payer system. Unfortunately, conning the people, when profits are at stake, is the norm. This bill will never result in people paying the same amount "they would pay in a new tax", for the obvious reason that adding profit to a bill does not cause it to fall.
here's the problem Silican, you say; "...when properly explained..." and all Americans actually ever hear is "..socialism.."
strange but true i think.
here's one of those Lefty Liberal Commy bastards explaining the benefits of ACA;
makes you wanna puke, don't it?

Jan 19/09 How does it affect you?
Monday, January 19th, 2009I've been a bit remiss about keeping up to date with my posts. Truth be told, even with all the suggestion that we've had, I feel a bit of a writer's block.
But let's give it a collegial try as I'm going to put this post on Twitter. Originally when I heard about Twitter, I hated the idea. However, once nudged to try it, it has been a great way to disseminate bits and pieces of information to a wide audience. It, I learned, is called microblogging.
Since I'm inviting a new audience, perhaps I'll use this venue to explain what I'm doing as it relates to stigma.
It seems in this day and age, within the gay community, as HIV positive gay man - I do not profess to speak for everyone, for more points of view go through the site - feel marginalized and hidden.
For example, the Executive Director of one of the Gay and Lesbian human rights organizations told me that she was tired of HIV dominating the scene and getting "all the money, and that it affects everyone now." So we are being mainstreamed out of the picture now.
We are made to be invisible, and if we are not such as myself, then the attributed "AIDS" label is enlisted, and then shelved in the appropriate box. Why is it that my blog is never looked at for "Queer blog awards" It's a personal pet peeve to always be put in the "other" box. I could care less about the award, it's the otherness that bothers me.
Many complain about complacency and how HIV is no longer given the attention it merits given the amount of barebacking, rising infection rates, sero-sorting resulting in risky behaviour and so on.
Once I read a comment saying, "gay guys with HIV got are easy." Well, I've been to Africa to work, and yes it is shocking over there, but by that logic and standard then anyone who has running water pretty much has it easy.
HIV negative guys were shocked in focus groups leading up to this campaign to hear that we, the positive, feel stigma. The fact that we have to hide our status, always assess situations, deal with rejection, hide in our work places, fight for access to appropriate treatment and then suffer the side effects, unable to work, loss of direction and depression, poverty, and on and on it goes.
There are ASOs right?
I've been a long time activist who has turned to his, what has often been described as "sick", sense of humour to make my presence known.
I will not succumb to stigma and discrimination (and this is by no means a criticism who are not out about their status). As I write in my blog, I will not allow others to define me as dirty, unhealthy, diseased, or anything else UB2.
Many HIV negative individuals believe they can be judgmental, discriminate, or whatever else they may fancy without anybody challenging them because we are supposed to be too afraid to be identified. Now, granted there are many who put out their status on profiles etc.
But I'm not so sure many are used to someone using the Diseased Pariah News inspired sense of humour. There's a little history lesson of our pioneers back in the day.
I'm on Twitter as a D-List AIDS Celebrity (a statement about the stratification of the HIV community) with my own make a wish to meet Kathy Griffin. After meeting a young guy who lost one of his balls to testicular cancer in Australia, and was sent on this trip by the Make A Wish Foundation, I figured that was ageism, and when do I get to make my wish?
My "When Karen Calls: HIV Holiday Tips" gave all my tips I've amassed while enduring horrible anti-retrovirals while attending dinner parties.
OK, enough of being self-indulgent. The point is that you got to friggin shock people these days, and if I have to be the John Waters of AIDS to do it, so be it.
I also have to admit I live in a bit of a bubble as a result of creating this world where I'm completely out.
People are still being disowned by their families, discriminated in the workplace, prosecuted, rejected by their communities, and dealing with homophobia by proxy.
I welcome those who do not live in a bubble to share their experiences and unwrap stigma here.
I've heard that many do not disclose, and I honour that choice. But what I'd like to know does it feel to have this running in the background where no one can see it? How do you feel when you meet someone new? How do you feel with family? What is it like at work? How do you feel with you see clean UB2.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster leaked from Patent Office
If its predecessor the SLR McLaren serves as any indication, the latest flagship supercar from Mercedes-Benz – the SLS AMG – stands to breed a long line of derivatives. Before its eventual demise, the SLR was available in coupe and roadster versions, along with the 722 and the Stirling Moss edition, and various combinations between them.
Now the new SLS has already given birth to a speedboat, but like its predecessor (and its iconic Gullwing progenitor) the next variant is expected to come in convertible format. And these patent drawings leaked from the German patent office give us our first look. With an open cockpit, the SLS AMG Roadster promises to be one heck of a ride.

Fire officers have a wide variety of responsibilities. They range from in house duties to on scence duties. Everything from making sure that the reports get completed, to crew training and cleaning to making sure that a crew stretches the appropriate attack line properly as ordered, to commanding the scene just to name a few. Most officers, especially in a volunteer system, have other responsibilities such as meetings and committees that fall on days other than their duty. If an officer fails to attend one of these meetings they miss out on the opportunity to gain insight to new happenings, potential changes in SOPs or protocols, or they miss out on training that they can't get another way. I very recently had a subordinate officer make a remark on a social networking site about the lack of a reminder for a meeting he was supposed to be in attendence for. When did the fire service begin being a hand-holding service?
My parents raised me to be responsible for my activities. Track, Cross Country, working part time, Firefighter and EMT classes…. all were activities that I took part in while in high school. I was responsible to know where I was supposed to be and when. If I missed something, or there was a conflict – I had to be responsible for making the appropriate notifications to my boss, coach or instructor that I couldn't be present and explain why. Now that I'm a "boss" I'm responsible for being on time for meetings, duty, training classes and committee meetings. If I can't be present I HAVE to make other arrangements, whether that means getting someone else to cover for me, or rescheduling.
Are there any others having issues with officers not being responsible for themselves and their time? Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this issue? Because my parents taught me, I'm at a loss at how to approach this. What I'm afraid of is that this attitude of "Oh well" will begin to permeate through the ranks of the members and then there will be problems of no one taking responsibility for anything.

There are so many conflicting arguments on the Internet at the moment about fasting its hard to say wether it's a good thing to trial or what kind of issues can you come across.
A lot of people say it's a typical "weight loss fad" and others say it's a way of life now.
Who here has or is doing IF?
What were the reasons behind it? Where you just wanting to get from 10% BF to 8%?
Any side effects or good results?
Does anyone think this is just another diet fad?
Would be good to hear everyone's opinion or experiences because IF is relatively new and hasn't got long term studies of the health impacts etc

We wake up in Italy, but soon we fly to Asia. Nicole is getting no love for being the immune one last time, a condition that really saved her skin. Her steak was not very good and Nick went home because of it. No one is very enthused about that.
They are traveling to Thailand, and upon landing get their first challenge.
Three teams of two match up, but despite the fact that they have been running non-stop in this whole series, there is no natural inclination to pair up with the person who would be fastest. I think John, Nicole, and Liz look the most light of foot. Nookie and Jenna look like they feel gravity's pull more than the rest of the group.
The loser will be "left out in the cold." Winner gets some advantage.
Nicole tells her driver that she is from America, something most of us keep to ourselves when traveling throughout Southeast Asia. I will sell you a Canadian flag for your backpack. Three for $10.
Avery is really tired.
They all find the coconuts and balance those nuts to the grinding area. Nookie loses his balance and becomes the "Goofy American" story for years in Thailand. Nookie's cardio work is pale compared to the Midwestern fitness of John.
Avery and Jenna find out that cheating by adding the coconut water to the mass wil quickly catch them up. This cheat does not help though, and somehow Jenna turns into a puritan for the rest of the show, railing against any form of cheating or unethical behavior, all of which are wrapped up in a heavy Red Sox uniform with Postal on the back.
Love your snowball theory quote... My own is, "The older I get, the less I care how big my bathrooms are." Anyway, for those who enjoy the game aspect of this show, it certainly full fills.... But I think more of those who tune in want to see excellent Chefs cook excellent food in a variety of exciting cultures and be rewarded for it. If this show does not stop trying to be a game (Survivor-esk) and change the judging back to those who have no stake in winning, the show will fail. We are foodies, not adrenoline junkies.
This show merely picks up where Top Chef Texas left off. It takes Ugly Americanism to a new level. Every time the contestants pile out of the airport in a new city and start running around screaming, "I am American! Cater to me!" I just cringe.
Of course the show's premise is to blame, so I predict it will die a quick death. The show is already tiresome, with many of the most fascinating destinations yet to come. i don't care who wins at this point.
I guess no one has pointed out that none of the food establishments came close to breaking even, though Avery and Jenna came closest. The "secret ingredient" at this city was sorta ridiculous -- really, twice the ingredients? How could anyone possibly have beaten those odds.
Nookie and John get added to my list of chefs whose restaurants I will avoid.
I Like the show, although I think it rewards mediocrity. It isn't the best chef who ends up with a pile of money it is the best game player. That really bothers me a lot. I agree with Hugh about Curtis's disdainful look at Nookie. The rules set up the situation and you can't blame Nookie for taking advantage of it. I actually have more respect for Nookie because he did not bother to deny adding water to the juice. He is just playing by the rules right?
Oh that Nookie. What a crafty guy. Brilliant! BTW, always love your blog and I do read it first.
Hugh, you're awesome. I now have a reason to check out the website. Thank god Jenna is off. Annoying hypocritical people make my food taste bad.
Hugh! I just discovered that you are blogging about this show. Yay! I love your snarky sarcasm! You say what 99% of the viewers are thinking, but you manage to do it in a creative way that makes me laugh out loud. The way you pepper your articles with allusions from pop culture and academic trivia and everything in between is genius. Keep up the fabulous work. Now that I know you are here, I will visit back often.
About the show: Based on comments, it looks like some people are not fond of the format. Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I like the show. The promotions clearly say that it is a GAME. It is not a cooking contest like Top Chef (my all-time favorite show). It is a game that has food / drink / cooking / chef elements. So I think it is fun. And it does have some of the touches that I like about Top Chef - like the interviews with the contestants. Plus, I have learned more than one thing each time I watch. I love the travel element, too. I even like that the contestants vote each other off - it just adds to the fact that the show is a game. I am on the side of the fence that says nothing needs to change on this show.
I miss Nick he reminded me of a young you( Hugh).
I think the main difference between the cocnutwater and what Nookie did was Avery was not giving something for sale and expecting people to consume it.
If I was traveling there was noone there I would have rather had on my side than Jenna.

By Jason Husser
If the mantra after the 2008 presidential election was one of a "post-racial" America, the theme after the 2012 election would be better described as that of a "post-American" America. While the former was naïve, the latter remains ominous.
Few events illustrate this better than recent secession petitions in all 50 states, with a Texas petition alone garnering more than 100,000 "signatures."
Most reactions to the petitions range from support to dismissal to snark. People rarely treat them for what they are: illegitimate, uninformed, harmful - yet also meaningful.
Though petitions carry no legal weight, they are more than simple political "incorrectness." Hundreds of thousands of Americans have shed blood to protect the integrity of our nation. That same nation has provided millions more with great abundance, security and happiness.
Threats to abandon it because of political discontent are not a legitimate way to express dissatisfaction. They are a message of disrespect and thanklessness.
I'm a Southerner descended from slave holders and Confederate soldiers. I've often heard arguments that Confederate flags and sentiments expressed by petitions like these honor our heritage. What they actually do is glorify the worst parts of our history and neglect the best.
Southern heritage is American heritage and all Americans should honor their ancestors by valuing their achievements while recognizing their mistakes. Such recognition avoids celebrating or trivializing one of their darkest transgressions.
Outgoing Texas Rep. Ron Paul has said these petitions raise "worthwhile questions." The congressman is correct. Why would the American people ask to abandon a country that they claim to love?
These anti-American petitions merit scorn for their callousness and sympathy for their context. Petitions are not the source of the problem. They are triggered by momentary events of political dissatisfaction, in this case President Barack Obama's reelection. But the petitions are symptomatic of deeply seated ills within our political system.
Trust in government is abysmal. Despite once robust levels, political trust has never recovered from the Watergate and Vietnam War plunge. Americans are impatient with short-term sacrifices, ideological or material, that are part and parcel of the long-term workings of a healthy democratic system.
Too many Americans feel their voices don't make a difference. Like political trust, political efficacy remains stagnant. When government provokes dissatisfaction, something it invariably will do, citizens who feel powerless are less likely to work to improve it and more likely to give up hope.
Inequality between states remains another unspoken problem with the gap between rich and poor states showing little sign of improvement. Is it any wonder that the largest concentration of secessionist impulse is in the South, America's poorest region? This geographic inequality fuels a rhetoric arguing that coastal plutocrats are moving the country in a direction away from the center.
These problems are amplified by political polarization. Republican and Democratic elites haven't been this divided since the Civil War era. On Capitol Hill and on the street corner, many Americans perceive political differences to be irreconcilable. Polarization creates an attitude that compromise isn't possible and makes sore losers even sorer. This fans flames of discontent that might otherwise smolder away.
So when you see headlines about petitions for states to secede, pay attention to them. Recognize the perniciousness of secession petitions. But also recognize their roots - troubling levels of political trust and efficacy, persistent geographic inequality, and seemingly endless polarization.
These weeds grow far too deeply in our soil. We should focus on remedying the problems that precipitate destructive petitions for secession. Such a focus is a better outlet for discontent than threats to abandon a nation that has given so much to so many.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Listen to Boy George on iHeartRadio | Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Culture Club singer Boy George is making his comeback with a new generation - by starting a Twitter feud with a member of One Direction.
Following the BRIT awards on Wednesday night, the flamboyant singer tweeted One Direction's Liam Payne to tell him off for not stopping to take a photo with his niece. George called the young star "disrespectful" and said that he said Harry Styles would be the first to leave the group - as he was the only one who took a moment to meet his teenage niece.
I reckon Harry Styles will leave One Direction! You heard it here first!
— boygeorge (@BoyGeorge) February 21, 2013
Liam responded, saying that he would have been happy to stop for a photo, if George had even asked him.
@boygeorge now now boy lets not tell porkies firstly thanks for getting my name (cont) tl.gd/l41prp
— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) February 21, 2013
@boygeorge do you really want to hurt meeee do you really want to make me cryyy (cont) tl.gd/l43eqq
— Liam Payne (@Real_Liam_Payne) February 21, 2013
According to Liam, Boy George got his name wrong several times and only asked him to point out Niall for him, which he did.
Boy George ended the scuffle by saying:
@real_liam_payne You were rude but whatever! Everyone wants a piece of you! I get it. I bet Debbie Harry is fuming!
— boygeorge (@BoyGeorge) February 21, 2013
One Direction recently covered the song "One Way Or Another" by Debbie Harry's group Blondie.

Assessment staff met with members of the NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments teams (11 teams located at universities across the US, focused on facilitating use of climate information, climate-related research and engagement with stakeholders) and with participants from related NOAA and Department of Interior efforts on September 29-October 1, 2010. A number of discussions during the meeting centered on how NOAA RISAs and other regional partners could work with the NCA on the Assessment; in response to several questions that arose during the meeting, we have compiled a short question and answer summary that we hope will be of use to a broader audience interested in the NCA and its relationship to other Federal climate change science activities. Some of the questions in the summary include:
How will the regions be defined and how will they dovetail with the RISAs and other government regions?
How can we pick regions across all the issues we are concerned about?
How can one talk about the relationship between a sustained process and the selection of national indicators of change?
How will the integrated cross-sectoral issues be addressed?
For the complete question and answer guide, please see "September 2010 RISA Q&A session" at http://www.globalchange.gov/what-we-do/assessment/nca-activities/workshop-and-meeting-reports .

Strapless Crinkle Chiffon Peplum Dress with Brooch Style F15515
Great for gals with curves!
We're having a very small ceremony so the only attendant I'm having is my matron of honor. She was totally against even trying this dress on because she thought the peplum would accentuate her "tummy". (Mother of 4!) But it was extremely flattering! As soon as she put it on she commented on how light the dress was and how she liked how it felt. Then she looked in the mirror and had to concede the point that I was right and this was going to be her dress for the wedding! So excited to see her in this on my wedding day!
October 25, 2013
Great on everyone!
I have all size bridesmaids from a 12 to a 26 and it looked fantastic on all of them. I originally wanted them to wear a shorter length dress, but this one won me over. It was fantastic. Hid all the right things and flaunted all of the right things for each girl. Amazing.
August 26, 2013
Gorgeous dress!!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I would recommend to any future bride. It looks great on all body shapes.

Forty six. What does that number represent? The number of weeks that that the 2013 season lasted for Real Salt Lake.
Before a saddle bronc even leaps out of the chute each night at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, there's a 20-percent chance that someone in the Wright household will walk away a winner.
Blowing out Utah for a second time this month was not in the cards for Portland. With the Jazz making a fourth-quarter rally, the Blazers struggled to fight through offensive sluggishness and escape with a win.
The ups and downs of tryouts week can cause anyone to ride the emotional waves created by worry, fretfulness and anxiety.
Southern Utah University Director of Athletics Ken Beazer announced today that Thunderbird head football coach Ed Lamb's contract has been extended through the 2020 season.
This week's column is sort of a Part II follow-up to what ran last week. To recap, in last week's column, I suggested it's time for Tyrone Corbin's term as Jazz coach to come to an end.
Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox spent decades trying to beat each other, no holds barred. On this day, however, they were a mutual admiration society.
That dang Rally Squirrel still haunts Roy Halladay.
Close observers of Southern Utah high school swim teams knew that the local aqua-athletes would be good this year, but no one ever dreamed they would be as dominant as they are.
A rare downfall bedecked lawns, roads and rooftops in St. George Saturday, with a blanket of Christmas-quality snow.
Jake Wright won Sunday's fourth round of saddle bronc riding at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR), and since arriving in Las Vegas, he's jumped from seventh to second in the world standings.
Aurelien Collin, soaked in champagne, pulled the black stocking cap that read 'MLS Cup Champions' down over his ears and sheepishly shook his head from side to side.
Outside the doors of the Desert Hills basketball gym Saturday night, snow fell, froze and slicked up enough roads to cancel religious services in the area.
While snow was falling heavily on the Southern Utah University campus records were also falling in the pool at the Sorensen Athletic Center during the two-day Canyon View Invitational swim meet.
Pine View entered its final match of the two-day Green Valley Duals (Nev.) holding a tenuous lead against La Quinta, Calif.

The gym is dark and the game is over but if you listen close you can still hear the sound of whistles blowing from the Falcons' Nest.
It's time for one last dance. This time for the biggest prize of all. Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City will tangle this afternoon to decide which side will hold up the mantle of Major League Soccer Cup champions.
Kobe Bryant will make his long-awaited return from a torn left Achilles tendon when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
In the first three games of the Desert Hills girls basketball season, the Thunder had beaten opponents by an average of 35 points, while never scoring fewer than 60 points.
Dan Roden, the new head coach for the Snow Canyon girls basketball team, had to know he'd have his work cut out for him this season.

The Dixie State University volleyball team ended its cinderella season with a four set loss to the No. 3 seeded UC San Diego, 19-25, 25-18, 18-25, 22-25 today at the NCAA West Regional in San Bernardino, Calif.
The Canyon View wrestling team jumped out to an early 25-0 lead before Desert Hills finally scored its first points.
Dixie State entered its Pacific West Conference opener at Notre Dame de Namur undefeated. It left Belmont, Calif., with its perfect record more than safe.
The Beaver Beavers traveled south and dropped the Canyon View Falcons 46-28, after a 34-point second-half onslaught.
Entering selection day, Dixie State's volleyball players were almost sure they'd make the NCAA Tournament. As the hours ticked down toward the actual pairings, that confidence dissipated.
If the conversation at the Region 9 boys basketball media day is any indication, this just may be the year that the big man reigns supreme in Southern Utah.
In the middle of October, the Utah State Aggies were sitting at 3-4 and coming off back-to-back losses. Their starting quarterback and multiple other offensive starters were lost to season-ending injuries, and it seemed like the Aggies were in danger of returning to the FBS basement.
The Pine View and Enterprise boys basketball teams got involved in a shootout Tuesday night at The Pit.
Few things can define a region such as dialect, driving habits and certain types of food.
The Dixie Flyers earned seven First-Team recipients to the All-3AA South Region team (voted by region coaches) on Monday. Pine View followed with six and Desert Hills five. Snow Canyon had four players selected while Cedar had three, Hurricane two, and Payson one.
Stephan Hicks broke the 1,000-point career plateau, scoring 20 points as Cal State Northridge easily handled Southern Utah, 84-57 Tuesday night.

If there were one fear that Sam Houston State head coach Willie Fritz had when scouting Southern Utah, he thought the T-Bird defensive line would be difficult to run against.
What I'm about to say has nothing to do with the Jazz being 3-15 going into last night's game. I'd say the same thing if they were 1-17, 6-12, or even 8-10.
The Southern Utah University gymnastics team will host an open gym fundraiser on Friday night giving adults a chance for some one-on-one instruction from SUU gymnasts and coaches.
Southern Utah got its first taste of big-time playoff experience Saturday. There were moments when the T-Birds may have felt like rock stars.

Chris Davis raced 100-plus yards with a missed field-goal attempt for a touchdown on the final play to lift No. 4 Auburn to a 34-28 victory over No. 1 Alabama on Saturday.
There were 3.3 seconds remaining and Dixie State did not have the likes of Grant Hill and Christian Laettner to cover 94 feet in such a short time span.
Six days ago, the Southern Utah football team got the call when it was least expected.
Markieff Morris score 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting and Goran Dragic added 19 points and nine assists to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 112-101 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night.
Though Utah vs. BYU is widely recognized as the biggest rivalry in the state of Utah, few can argue that during the past decade on the hardwood, it's the Aggies and Cougars, not the Utes, that have battled for state supremacy.
Missing a bowl seemed almost impossible for Utah a month ago.

The Division of Forestry is recognized as a state leader in the field of conservation education. Our approach has been based on two general premises: 1) given limited personnel and financial resources, the most efficient means of achieving our goals is to train educators rather than working directly with students; and 2) our forests are part of an interdependent natural system which should not be addressed as an isolated entity. Therefore, while Indiana's forestland is our main focus, our approach considers the management of all natural resources.
Our mission: to facilitate and promote objective education concerning the natural environment and its management. This is accomplished by preparing educators to deliver factual information through effective techniques to the audiences they reach.
Our vision: to have a knowledgeable citizenry responsible for maintaining a healthy environment and thriving economy as a result of our continued investment of time and resources into each generation.
The main thrust toward educator in-service training by the Division of Forestry involves the Project Learning Tree program. Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an award- winning environmental education program designed for educators working with students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Sponsored by the American Forest Foundation and used in 50 states and several foreign countries, PLT provides educators with interdisciplinary instructional activities and lesson plans that can be infused into their existing curricula. Teachers wishing to use PLT materials must attend a training session, where they receive the materials. An average of nearly 1,000 Indiana educators have been trained each year in PLT since 1986.
Teaching outdoors can broaden teaching methods, reinforce concepts introduced in the classroom, and enhance the overall educational experience. Almost any subject area or grade level can be taught using the outdoors as a teaching tool. To better prepare educators to teach using the outdoor environment, we provide assistance to schools in the development of school outdoor laboratories. Special workshops that focus on outdoor lab development and curriculum integration can be arranged through our Forestry Education program. For more information, contact the Division of Forestry at (317) 232-4119 or (317) 234-5143.
Arbor Day in Indiana is celebrated on the last Friday in April. This is another means of introducing young people to the importance of trees. During the winter months, the Division of Forestry sends a letter to all Indiana school principals asking if they would like an Arbor Day tree for their schools. All principals responding will then receive a tree along with instructional materials during the week prior to Arbor Day. A similar offer is also available to allow every third grade student in Indiana to receive a tree seedling.
In 1998 a comprehensive inventory of Indiana's woodlands was conducted by the U.S. Forest Service and the Indiana Division of Forestry. This inventory provided us with a great deal of information about our forest resources, their value, and how they are used and managed. To make this information more accessible and usable to Indiana educators and their students, an interactive website was developed. Geared toward the 4th grade level, this curricular supplement presents the inventory data in an interesting, understandable way, and provides educators with information and lesson ideas that are correlated with state standards in math, language arts, social studies and science. It is easy for students to use and contains additional resources and assessment tools for their teachers. View "Forests of Indiana" curriculum supplement . (Very large file--will take a few minutes to download.)
Finally, we have ventured into the realm of "virtual reality" through CD-ROM technology. "The Central Hardwoods Virtual Forest" CD, developed through a partnership with Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, provides teachers and students with a variety of tools with which to explore a "virtual" forest on computer. This program is intended to better prepare students for a field trip to a real forest by familiarizing them with the use of a dichotomous key, demonstrating techniques of forest plot inventory, providing responses to a multitude of natural resource questions, and introducing many forest management issues. The Central Hardwood Virtual Forest, as well as CDs featuring the boreal, southern pines, and Rocky Mountain forest ecosystems, are currently available through the Division of Forestry.
