Key Democrat on 'Special Report'

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Let's talk about the fiscal cliff negotiations with one of the key Democrats involved Chris van Holland.
Is a five term represented from Maryland and the ranking member of the House Budget Committee.
Congressman thanks for being here it's great to be with you for British see this process right now.
Well we were waiting for speaker -- to get back got to the president with response -- he's now put something.
In writing the good news is is put something in writing the bad news is it doesn't really get us.
In the moving moving forward but but at least it's a -- a piece of paper that's a change what's talk about that paper the house GOP counteroffer they're saying revenue.
Through tax reform 800 billion health savings 600 billion other mandatory savings 300 billion revision to CPI.
200 billion discretionary savings 300 billion net savings -- point two trillion.
And according to the White House you canning four point six trillion overall.
This is what the house speaker said unfortunately the White House responded with their La La land to offer they couldn't pass the house you couldn't pass the senate.
We've decided.
We -- decided in kind but we decided not to do that why is this -- -- not advancing the ball at least to a discussion.
Well again it's good news that we finally have something on paper.
He references Erskine Bowles the speaker -- -- that letter.
I think -- -- stands by the Simpson Bowles commission recommendations and and their overall framework within which is a mix of cuts.
But also revenue and if you look at the revenues embedded in Simpson goals they're actually greater than the amount of revenues the president has proposed a one point six trillion remember if we go over the fiscal -- That's five trillion dollars in new revenue they would come in the president says he doesn't want to do that but he wants one point.
Six trillion as part of a balanced approach.
From higher income earners and again that's a lower amount of overall revenue -- is -- -- Simpson Bowles on the cuts the presence also proposed cuts going forward.
-- so now it's time to begin.
The conversation now the president's cuts are very different for example when the president does Medicare reform he doesn't.
Pass those costs on to seniors he for example reduces the amount of payments that would go to the prescription drug companies and that kinda thing but again.
We got some on paper now -- you know maybe we can at least have a conversation.
Consumer Price Index.
Also -- yeah that that's because this is part of Social Security reform.
-- be as people know I think.
Social Security is owed about two and a half trillion dollars from the general fund from in terms of bonds.
So our view -- always been we should strengthen Social Security on its own terms after -- -- Purcell solvent until the year 2033.
After that if you do nothing.
It pays 75 cents on the dollar so we should we should fix it.
But that should be a separate tack track conversation should not be.
Raiding Social Security to deal with the death.
These are Democrats willing to do significant things on entitlements.
Well on this side of the cliff let let's just say let's just say.
Their rates.
Are going to go up on some level Republicans get to that point whether it's million dollar cap going out over 500000 dollar and above.
That rates are gonna go so you get that out of them.
When will entitlements be change in any way shape or form on this side of the fiscal from what we'll toothpicks in response to that first they're they're great.
Irony here is four weeks ago Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and Republicans were pummeling.
The president for 716.
Billion dollars in Medicare savings -- -- affordable care could actually extended the life.
A Medicare they said that they want to add one battle this cost back in.
Hopefully there are back to the position in the Ryan budget where they recognize those reports savings that's number one.
Number two.
The president's plan his budget over the next ten years contains more Medicare savings.
Then the Ryan Republicans plan did what we'd like to see is specifics.
What are they proposing with respect to our cuts to Medicare.
We go round that health care.
You know barnyard again and again about.
-- you can't spend that money twice and how good.
Medicare actuary said that the 716 billion you can either use it to shore up Medicare or use it to pay for obamacare.
Right right right but the but the fact is that the position that Mitt Romney took as a presidential candidate.
Was to put all of those cost.
Back in the Medicare which would have meant that it went insolvency -- -- currently are -- -- -- anymore we're talking about what you're going to do.
To find a solution going for -- and I know we're we are -- -- Iran they were talking about what they're for house Republican proposal is right now and the question number one is are they saying that we should.
Keep those 716.
Billion dollars in savings which a lot of them said we shouldn't so we and that's an important to know.
Then we can look at other savings is that the big difference -- between.
The way the president has proposed to deal -- Medicare and and the Republicans the Republican plan their definition of reform.
Is simply to -- rising health care cost onto the backs of seniors.
Our view is you can modernize the Medicare system.
To change the incentives to move towards -- system it's not strictly free for service.
That focuses on the value of care not the volume of care congressman I'm not hearing a lot of give.
On the entitlements on this.
Well I -- and again there's a major philosophical difference over the best approach to savings in Medicare where do not believe we should be passing cost structure so we're seeing here is is no we know what I that's not true we we there you can reform Medicare you can build on what we did in the Affordable Care -- -- this sounds December -- there you without unloading these rising health care costs on the backs of seniors.
The median income of Medicare beneficiary.
Under 22000.
Dollars so it's important to be really careful when you talk about reforms which is why the president's approach has been.
Reduce health care costs overall not just transfer rising costs -- the backs of seniors last thing what are you going to give Republicans to get them.
To a place where you can negotiate.
A final deal.
Well there are cuts in the president's budget I mean I know the Republicans haven't.
Really paid attention to them but he has a number of cuts there for example.
He eliminates many -- excessive agricultural subsidies.
He has other provisions in there we talk some about some of the Medicare provisions asking.
Pharmaceutical companies to pay a little bit more in terms or rebates simply going back to where we were in 2003 with respect to.
-- how we reimburse.
For what are called -- -- -- people on Medicare and Medicaid.
So the president has put forward.
Proposed cuts it's time for.
Republicans to be specific movie Heidi can't tell -- speaker Boehner is proposing additional defense cuts in this stuff for example okay.
Congressman I haven't heard anything new -- -- given them so hopefully the doors open for some more negotiate -- -- I would hope let me just say -- I would hope that when it comes to Medicare reform.
They would agree that the better way to do it.
Is to reduce health care cost overall not simply transfer those costs after all.
The Medicare system in terms of the per capita growth including increasing cost has been slower than the per capita increasing and in -- and -- private health.
System so it's really important keep that in mind as we talk about reforming these programs OK congressman good luck thank you.

Resident Evil – Operation Raccoon City: Spec Ops Expansion Pack on its Way
The Echo Six Expansion Pack 1 is the title of the latest Resident Evil – Operation Raccoon City Spec Ops DLC. Capcom have officially announced that the pack will be available on April 18 and includes three shiny new missions. Capcom has not yet stated how much this beauty will cost but it is doubtful that it will be free like previous content drops.
The Echo Six Expansion Pack 1 contains three missions. The first is set in City Hall and you will have USS Snipers to contend with. Secondly you will have to contain Nemesis in the underground laboratories at Umbrella, and finally you'll have to escape through the sewers kicking and screaming all the way as you try and evade G-Birkin. Resident Evil – Operation Raccoon City certainly had some problems when it launched but with the steady stream of DLC it looks like Capcom have managed to save the day. Of course everybody is now starting to turn their attention to Resident Evil 6 which will feature multiple individual storylines each with a different protagonist.

Posted: Oct 18, 2012 9:40 PM by Surae Chinn - WUSA TV
HERNDON, VA - We're hearing from the two Virginia men who got lost in Glacier National Park and had to be rescued. They're now home and talking about their ordeal.
"There was so much snow there was no trail to be seen," hiker Jason Hiser recalled.
Hiser, 32, and Neal Peckens from Herndon set out in the back country of Glacier National Park. They were half way up the mountain when something terrible went wrong. Peckens slipped and fell 30 yards down the steep terrain.
"When he fell, I was okay after he stopped sliding down the hill," Hiser said.
Worse still, their map blew away, and they were lost in whiteout conditions.
"You couldn't tell whether we should be going down or up, because the topographic map would have told us that," Hiser stated.
They decided the safest thing to do was hunker down, and the experienced hikers used their instincts.
"We did have an SOS sign out of burnt logs on the hillside," Peckens said.
They were stranded for four days, rationing energy bars as 50 rescuers scoured the area on the ground and in the air.
"Once we knew people were actually looking, we felt better, but it was a little discouraging to have them fly over your head and not see you. So, after we knew they were looking, it was just a matter of how long can we wait it out," Hiser said.
The men tell us they each lost 15 pounds during their four day ordeal in the woods of Northwest Montana.

"About 20 years ago, one of the world's most beautiful and otherworldly fish, the red lionfish, started showing up in south Florida and the Caribbean. Now, they're a plague. Millions of them live from northeastern South America to New York, from water you can stand in down to depths of a thousand feet.
In a world where the main concern about fish is overfishing, and the main demand on fish is to feed an increasingly hungry human-dominated world, it may see odd to complain about abundance. But theirs is an abundance that produces widespread scarcity. That's because invaders from afar often crowd out or gobble a wide array of desirable natives. And as an invading saltwater fish — the lion is king.
Lionfish are native to the west Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Red Sea; they're quilled with venomous spines. The sting is not fatal, but from the descriptions I've heard of the pain, victims might wish it were. (Yesterday while working underwater with a scientist I got barely nicked through a glove; it produced an immediate sensation and a bump)."

text: When it comes to movies, the dads of Team Buzz are kind of fanatics — like father, like daughter! So in honor of Father's Day, we asked them for their top picks. It's a nice mix: some drama, a thriller or two, and plenty of comedy that always makes them laugh (no matter how many times they've watched 'em!). Truth be told, they're pretty good recommendations, so just chock this up to yet another good piece of advice, courtesy of old pops. Take a look at this list, and then tell me: what's your dad's favorite film?

quote:"Thank you for visiting the Volkswagen Web site. We appreciate your inquiry on Volkswagen's position on using biodiesel fuel. B100 stands for 100% biodiesel. It is a diesel fuel derived from biomass feedstock such as soybeans. It can be blended with regular diesel fuel (B20 = 20% biodiesel/80% regular diesel, for example). In Europe our diesel engines are certified to operate any blend of the biodiesel that is available in Europe. European biodiesel is different than biodiesel in the U.S. since it is produced from different feedstock (the rapeseed plant versus the soy plant). Our parent company does not agree with the specifications for biodiesel in the U.S. and does not recommend its use in any percentage. Using biodiesel will invalidate our warranty."

quote:Originally posted by ybiofuels There is no difference in the European standard vs. the American standard that would affect performance, nor is there a relevant difference between rapeseed and soy. The reason VWoA is spreading this lie (it's illegal for them to blanket deny a warranty for biodiesel usage, see http://www.ravelco.net/magnusonmossact.htm) is because they are afraid of American biodiesel for one reason only, as far as I can tell, and it's a good one: here in America, the standard (ASTM D 6751, a good standard) is not government-enforced. So, do what you want, but make sure you trust your supplier of biodiesel to sell you only ASTM fuel. As a supplier in Northern California, we often have our fuel tested by laboratories to make sure. Since that's expensive, we are putting together our own in-house lab. As a final comment for you, I'd like to let you know that I happily drive a 2003 VW jetta tdi (on B100 since it was born 16000 miles ago) and it is under the extended warranty. If they ever want to deny it to me, I'll take them to court.

From a tee box raised 75 feet above the fairway, the Okanagan Valley spreads out before golfers as they tee up their first shot at the Summerland Golf and Country Club. This sort of panoramic vista is commonplace on the 18-hole course—named a PGA of British Columbia Bronze Facility in 2012—from the opening drive to postround drinks on the clubhouse's 1,500-square-foot balcony overlooking the course below. Before toasting good fortune, players must first navigate through the groves of tall Ponderosa pines, calibrate for wild swings in elevation, and best the mighty par 5 18th hole. Measuring 522 yards from the back tees, this final hole borders the edge of the Trout Creek Canyon, one of five holes on the course to do so without falling in.
Course at a Glance:
At Okanagan Street Striders, mobile elliptical machines break free from the gym's stationary rows and help exercisers grab some fresh air during their cross-training workouts. A fitness-savvy staff acquaints riders with their mounts, which target muscles all over the body without unnecessary impact or unnatural motions. Riders glide along paved trails and pathways, taking in a scenic alternative to staring at television screens, helping riders avoid the cardio room's cramped confines or tempting smells from the gym's in-house bakery. In addition to daily rentals, Okanagan Street Striders also organizes group night rides.
Diving Dynamics primes aquatic explorers for underwater adventures with an in-depth introductory diving course taught by experienced instructors. The 60-minute session—known as the Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) course—orients participants with a comprehensive tour of the facilities that covers essential scuba equipment that students can touch and tango with. Once geared up in provided equipment, pupils dip into a custom-built pool to practice breathing underwater and sea-friendly manoeuvres for 30 minutes. The introduction also enlightens interested parties by explaining the best practices for transforming a scuba hobby into a vocation. A hot-dog cookout further bolsters the discovery course and serves as bonding time for participants and teachers. Diving Dynamics requires participants to bring their own bathing suits.
Located on Ellis Street, Sunplex Sports Arena is a privately owned indoor sporting venue that hosts a wide array of roof-topped sports. Sun-shy sportsmen can drop in on any number of ball-centric back-and-forths, including roller hockey, ball hockey, or futsal. FIFA-approved futsal is an incarnation of indoor soccer that pits two five-person teams against one another on a wall-less playing surface, making for more strategy and less of the treacherous geometry of traditional indoor soccer. Meanwhile, roller hockey and ball hockey allow athletes to improve their hand-eye coordination while successfully avoiding rouge zambonis. Each of Sunplex's inspired athletic bouts take place on polyethylene flooring, known for its improved traction and gentle, knee-forgiving surface.
When players peer down the first fairway at Pine Hills Golf Club, they may feel a bit like a placekicker in football, aligning themselves for a shot between uprights formed by tall Ponderosa pine trees. And though successful strokes may not result in fans rushing the course to lift golfers up onto their shoulders, the difficulty involved can give players a deep sense of accomplishment. Challenges such as this one, which arise from a confluence of elevation and natural surroundings, are frequent on the nine-hole par 3 course, draped as it is over the craggy hillsides along Okanagan Lake's southern rim. As golfers look up from their tight lies and lift their blindfolds after daredevil approaches, they can feast their eyes on the expanse of Okanagan Lake to the east and the town of Penticton, due south.
Inside a steamy studio, the experienced yogis at Bikram Yoga Westbank spend 90 minutes leading students of all skill levels through a series of 26 poses developed by Bikram Choudhury. Bikram brought his system from India to the U.S. at the request of the American Medical Association. Since then, he founded the Yoga College of India and has taught both actors and athletes. During each class, poses massage internal organs, stimulate nervous systems, and release deficient enzymes and hormones—a process that brings balance to the body, increases flexibility, and enables the average person to sleep inside a sock drawer.

One day after being named the Southern Professional Hockey League's Player of the Week, Fayetteville's Josh McQuade picked up the league's monthly honor, too.
Twice the Player of the Week since the season began in late October, McQuade leads or is tied for the league lead in goals (13), points (24), plus/minus rating (+17), game-winning goals (three) and shorthanded goals (one) in helping the FireAntz to a 12-1-0 start.
McQuade, a native of Grimsby, Ontario, recorded points in 10 of 12 games and had a seven-game point streak. He also had two four-point nights, scoring a goal and setting up three others in an 8-2 win over Knoxville on Nov. 22, then notching his first hat trick of the season to go with an assist in a 4-2 win over Augusta last Thursday.
Now in his second season with the FireAntz, McQuade finished third in rookie scoring last year, totaling 48 points (22 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games.
Other players nominated for the monthly award included: Augusta's Chad Ziegler; Columbus goalie Andrew Loewen; Huntsville's Ray Ortiz; Knoxville's Berkley Scott; Louisiana's Denny Kearney; the Mississippi RiverKings' Patrick Gaul; Pensacola's Patrick Knowlton; and Mississippi Surge goalie Dan Clark.

Born in 1946 in Poland, Ben Lewin was only a small child when he and his family immigrated to Australia. Although a childhood bout with polio would necessitate his lifelong use of crutches, Lewin was blessed with a vibrant creativity and intelligence that manifested in a passion for photography, writing and the study and practice of the law. Ever the adventurous spirit, Lewin decided to abandon his law career to take advantage of a scholarship to England's National Film School, where he made the fateful decision to devote his life to the entertainment industry. Making a major splash by writing and directing "The Case of Cruelty to Prawns," an especially memorable installment of "ITV Playhouse" (ITV, 1967-1983), Lewin developed a reputation in both the United Kingdom and Australia, and he performed double duty for "Destination Australia: The Migrant Experience Since 1788" (1984).
A highly respected chronicler of Australian history and stories, Lewin's string of successes continued when he wrote and directed the WWII deportation drama "The Dunera Boys" (BBC, 1985), the Judy Davis-starring thriller "Georgia" (1988), and the quirky Bob Hoskins, Jeff Goldblum and Natasha Richardson farce "The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish" (1991). Winning Australian Writers' Guild Awards for "Dunera" and "The Favour ," he won a Best Screenplay Award from the Australian Film Institute for his dramedy depicting the clash between Australian and Aboriginal law in "Plead Guilty, Get a Bond" (1990). After writing and directing "Paperback Romance" (1994) and several installments of the Aussie series "SeaChange" (ABC, 1998-2000), Lewin stuck his foot in the American door when he helmed episodes of "Ally McBeal" (Fox, 1997-2002) and "Touched by an Angel" (CBS, 1994-2003).
Although he had already built an impressive international career, Lewin earned even more global notice when he wrote, produced and directed the drama "The Sessions" (2012), based on the autobiographical essay "On Seeing a Sex Surrogate" by the late writer Mark O'Brien, who had been the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary short "Breathing Lessons: The Life and Work of Mark O'Brien" (1996). Telling the story of a paralyzed man (John Hawkes) who hires a professional sex surrogate (Helen Hunt) to help him lose his virginity, "The Sessions" spoke to Lewin's strength - the ability to place unexpected characters in seemingly bizarre situations and still find universal truths within them. Rapturously received by many critics, the film won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and gained enormous buzz that many believed would lead to additional honors.

Sánchez I, Mahlke C, Yuan J. Pivotal role of oligomerization in expanded polyglutamine neurodegenerative disorders. Nature. 2003 Jan 23;421(6921):373-9. PubMed Abstract
Previous studies (Klunk et al. 1989 and Carter & Chao, 1998) illustrated that Congo red had the capacity to specifically associate with β-amyloid fibrils; it was subsequently shown to inhibit huntingtin fibrillogenesis in a dose-dependent manner (Heiser et al., 2000). In this latest paper, Sanchez et al. utilize a battery of experimental approaches to systematically address the intracellular mechanism by which Congo red reduces polyglutamine aggregation and cytotoxicity. These authors demonstrate that Congo red acts independent of molecular chaperones and the protein synthesis and degradation machinery by directly inhibiting nucleation of expanded polyglutamine aggregates. Moreover, Congo red dissolved preformed aggregates of a Q79 peptide from cell lysates in the absence of other proteins. In contrast, chrysamine G, a structurally similar compound that binds expanded polyglutamine, was incapable of disrupting aggregates or inhibiting polyglutamine-induced cell death.
Through the use of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), these investigators further showed that Congo red inhibited oligomerization of dual-labeled Q79 fluorescent protein variants and that this inhibition correlated with an increased solubility of Q79 protein in cell lysates. Bence et al., 2001 previously showed that an in vivo consequence of polyglutamine oligomerization was inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteosome system (UPS). The increased solubility of Congo red-treated polyglutamine protein resulted in a selective increase in Q79 degradation, indicating that the dye rendered misfolded proteins more accessible to the UPS-mediated degradation and simultaneously alleviated the cellular stress induced by the presence of polyglutamine aggregates. Importantly, Congo red was also demonstrated to be effective at significantly abrogating multiple features of the disease state when intraperitoneally infused into an HD mouse model at micromolar concentrations. In the absence of any overt toxic effects in these animals, Congo red-treated mice showed a reduction in severe weight loss, hindlimb dyskinesia, and blood glucose levels. Brain slices also showed reductions of polyglutamine immunostaining in the basal ganglia and hippocampus of Congo red-treated mice vs. control animals.
It will be interesting to see what native proteins may coordinately act to enhance cytoplasmic clearance of expanded polyglutamine-repeat containing proteins in the presence of Congo red. Further work aimed at defining gene products that may function to protect cells may expand our understanding of existing cellular mechanisms that might be induced to facilitate or mimic Congo red activity. The exceptional work of Sanchez et al. have set the stage for similar studies and mutational analyses on full-length polyglutamine target proteins. This will likely reveal the specificity of Congo red for these proteins and lead to the rational design of related compounds with potentially therapeutic value.References:Bence NF, Sampat RM, Kopito RR.

Used the following antibodies: EM48 (1:1000), HSP40 and HSP70 (Stressgen) and a rat monoclonal antibody against caspase-8.
FUTURE DIRECTION: The fact that congo red could at least partially rescue transgenic mice expressing a truncated form of huntingtin, with 139 glutamine repeats, is encouraging. Future experiments may reveal better aggregate busters, hopefully some that can be tried on humans suffers.

LL.M. Summer Experience
Georgetown University Law Center offers its incoming one-year LL.M. students the option of taking any or all of three courses in the summer before the LL.M. commences:
- Foundations of American Law and Legal Education
- U.S. Legal Discourse and
- Professional Responsibility Law in the United States.
Enrollment in these classes is optional. They are open only to students who confirm their intent to enroll for the Georgetown LL.M. in the 2013 - 2014 academic year.
Foundations of American Law and Legal Education has long provided the initial gateway for LL.M. students studying in the United States because it introduces them to the basics of American law and to the special dynamics of the U.S. legal classroom before they begin regular for-credit classes.
The U.S. Legal Discourse (1 or 2 credits) and Professional Responsibility Law in the U.S. courses (2 credits) are open to all students but may be especially appealing to those planning to sit for the New York Bar exam. Both courses satisfy New York Bar requirements. Click here for a discussion of the New York Bar Exam rules and other important bar information. They are also offered during the 2013 - 2014 academic year for students not enrolling for them during the LL.M. Summer Experience.

Control and monitor four Reed relay outputs via any 10/100Base-T Ethernet connection with the 140E digital I/O module. Reed relays provide long life switch closures well suited to low current devices. Each Reed relay has a discrete common for easy field wiring via removable 3.5mm terminal blocks. The 140E receives power via a removable spring-clamp terminal block. The lever-style clamping mechanism requires no tools, which simplifies field installation. The module is powered by your 9-30V DC source, or select from a variety of Sealevel power supply options. Ready for DIN rail mounting, the 140E includes a removable plastic clip that snaps onto 35mm DIN rail. The clip can also be attached to any flat surface such as a wall or under a counter. Standard operating temperature range of eI/O Ethernet digital I/O modules is 0C to 70C. Status LEDs on the front show power and I/O activity. Additionally, LEDs on the RJ45 connector display Ethernet link and communication activity. Communicate with eI/O Ethernet digital I/O modules using industry standard Modbus TCP protocol or Sealevel SeaMAX software. The SeaMAX suite is designed to work with third-party applications via the SeaMAX API. Sealevel SeaMAX software drivers and utilities make installation and operation easy using Windows and Linux operating systems.

Very small noisy rooms. Only good thing is that service is friendly and good if you have an early morning train since it's across from the train station. The hotel is in need of renovation and the area around the hotel is not very pleasant. It is cheap but that shows also.

Caramel (corn-free!)
Having a corn allergy sucks. No more salsa & chips and coke for me… or a billion other things. It's in EVERYTHING… mostly labeled "maltodextrin" or "food starch". I miss an easy night out at the taco joint but the one thing I've missed the most is caramel. It is one of my favorite things and would be in every dessert if I could make it so.
All caramels at the store have corn syrup. 99% of caramel recipes start with corn syrup.
Are you reading this Corn Syrup??? I RAISE MY FIST AT YOU IN ANGER!
I have made corn-free caramels that I posted here but sometimes you just don't want to put a days work into it. BUT… can I show you something really exciting?
Source: store.somebodysmothers.com via Josie on Pinterest
My husband found Somebody's Mother's Caramel Sauce (probably after a night of hearing me complain about how much I missed it) and I am so happy! Besides knowing how crazy amazing my husband is…. this is the best thing that's ever happened to me! This isn't some weird tasting substitute caramel for corn-free freaks. It is the real deal. It is probably the best caramel sauce I've ever tasted. It is more than we would like to spend ($10/jar! Try not to spray out that water you just sipped on) but it is worth it for that yummy treat for those of us who are so restricted!

The are only 3 valid extensions for N64 rom images, z64, v64 and n64:
z64 - Big Endian, non-byteswapped, generally preferred format
v64 - Byteswapped
n64 - Little Endian (least preferred format)
Non-interleaved formats are preferred over interleaved formats. The others (rom/usa/jap etc) are essentially meaningless, and are in truth one of the 3 main formats.
You can identify the byte order and convert between the three main formats en masse with Tool64. The byte order has nothing to do with whether a rom image is a bad dump or not like Smiff said.

Bringing the Gospel Home: Witnessing to Family Members, Close Friends, and Others Who Know You Well - eBook

Product Information

Publisher's Description
Sharing the gospel with a family member can be an exciting experienceand often a long, painful, and confrontational one. Randy Newman recognizes it can be more difficult and frustrating to witness to a family member than to nearly anyone else. In Bringing the Gospel Home, he delivers practical, holistic strategies to help average Christians engage family members and others on topics of faith.
A messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ, Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they evangelize. He writes, "a richer understanding of biblical truth, I have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and clear communication." After a brief introduction on the nature of family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility, and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and end-of-life conversations. Bringing the Gospel Home will help any Christian as he seeks to guide loved ones into Gods family.
-William Lane Craig,
Research Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology; founder, Reasonable Faith, www.reasonablefaith.org
Bringing the Gospel Home keeps its promise to give hope to Christians who long to see family members come to Christ. Newman builds his approach on solid theology, offers sound advice, and highlights his insights with rich stories that connect head and heart in the art of bringing people to Jesus. The methods in this book, while focused on winning family, are easily transferable to sharing the gospel with anyone. I recommend this book to all who want to increase their skills at sharing the good news with others.
-Jerry Root,
Associate Professor of Evangelism and Leadership, Wheaton College; coauthor, The Sacrament of Evangelism; Associate Director, Institute for Strategic Evangelism, Wheaton College
Newman has given us a well-written book full of wisdom on how to accomplish a very difficult taskwitness to our own relatives. The pages are lucid, wise, honest, humorous, and convicting all at once. The stories of successes and failures powerfully hit home. The suggestions of leading questions and ideas for sharing the faith at the end of the chapters are outstanding. I believe God will use this wonderful book to lead many relatives to Christ.
-Robert A. Peterson,
Professor of Systematic Theology, Covenant Theological Seminary
This is one scary title. But if you think youve got a story to tell about family versus faith, listen to Randys own, and the others hes collected here. And hear his hopeful and wise reflections. They will help you out of the sticky place youre in.
-C. John Sommerville,
Professor Emeritus of English History, University of Florida; author, How the News Makes Us Dumb
Pastoring in a city that can be political to the point of being polemical, and diplomatic to the point of being deceitful, I tend to notice those people who embody truth-loving tact. Randy Newman is one of those people. And his skill at sharing the gospel is exemplary. Here, Newman shows us how to witness boldly and winsomely to our non-believing family members. Many would benefit by reading this book.
-John Yates,
Rector, The Falls Church, Falls Church, Virginia
Listening is as much of persuasionperhaps moreas is explaining. Newman shows how, with the most difficult of audiencesour familieswe can engage winsomely, respectfully, and with the grace and truth that alone can transform lives for eternity. Introducing loved ones to Jesus can be as difficult as it is imperative. Bringing the Gospel Home provides us with a user-friendly roadmap.
-Robert Schwarzwalder,
Senior Vice President, Family Research Council

Watertown— Yes, you should be receiving your W-2 forms, if you haven't already from those who have employed you this year.
Some folks drag their feet until April 15th, dreading tax season. "People that wait until the last minute to file, usually have to pay", said 30-year CPA veteran, Pete Sovie of Bowers & Company, CPAs PLLC.
According to Mr. Sovie, there are some tips people should know. For one, if you have received money as a gift regardless of how much, you do not need to claim it on your tax returns. You also will not get penalized or taxed when given money as a gift.
Here are some more tips to consider when filing your taxes this year:
· Go to a reliable and legit tax preparer to help you file your taxes.
· A single dependent does not get an exemption on a NY State tax return.
· What ever your marital status was as of December 31, 2012 is what you must claim. For example, if your divorce went through January 1, 2013 you still have to claim that you were married when filing taxes.
o Married couples do not have to file taxes jointly.
· You cannot deduct items such as clothes you buy for work, because you can wear clothes elsewhere.
o If you have to buy a uniform for work that cannot be worn outside of work, then it is considered a tax write-off.
o Uniforms that are a tax write-off have to have cost 2% of your gross income.
· If you are divorced or separated, only custodial parents get to claim children on their taxes.
o If the non-custodial parent wants to claim children, then the custodial parent would need sign a release.
o If you are a non-custodial parent and you claim your children, then you will have to pay the IRS back plus interests and penalties.
· If you owe the IRS money you can set up a payment plan.
o If you skip or miss a payment, the IRS can force you to pay the entire amount.
· The average person will not go to jail making a mistake on their taxes.
· If you do not report up to 20% of your income it is considered fraud, which is a felony on your record.
o If the IRS can prove that you had deliberate motivation, then they can even pursue a criminal fraud complaint against you.
§ Criminal Fraud can equal jail time.
· If you do not report up to 25% of your income, it is automatically considered criminal fraud and you can go to jail.

text: HERE IN WASHINGTON, Democrats are engaged in a frenzy of rethinking. Two new magazines have been unveiled this week (in one of which - full disclosure here - I wrote a piece on the nonexistence of Democratic policy toward offshoring in the age of globalization). Major conferences abound. Think tanks are adding staff. To be sure, much of the rethinking amounts to reaffirming support for old ideas that are still good and necessary (such as raising the minimum wage) or to stating a problem for which Democrats don't yet have a solution (such as offshoring in the age of globalization, for which, in fairness, no political tendency in the world has a solution). But even if all this activity amounts to no more than what Kant would have called a Prolegomenon To All Future Democratic Rethinking, it has, at least, reached fever pitch.

The country's number one fast food chain continues its commitment to promote positive Filipino values and social responsibility that starts right at home through the 2nd Jollibee Family Values Awards (JFVA). This annual recognition program aims to recognize model Filipino families whose strong ties and admirable qualities serve as inspiration to their communities.
To formally kick off this year's search for the five exemplary families, Jollibee hosted a roundtable discussion at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel with the topic "The Filipino Family in the Digital Age." Family welfare advocates - who will also be joining the 2012 Board of Judges - sat as panelists led by lawyer and media personality Atty. Adel Tamano, entrepreneur and proud mom Audrey Tan-Zubiri, marriage and family counselor Maribel Sison-Dionisio, and Jollibee Vice President for Marketing Albert Cuadrante,. They discussed the effects of today's technology—such as social media, instant messaging, mobile phones, and the Internet—in shaping the values of the family and exchanged opinions and insights on whether technology strengthens or weakens family ties.
Completing this year's board of judges are Jollibee Foundation President Grace Tan Caktiong, who will sit as the Chairman of the Board of Judges, Father Allan Abuan of the Center for Family Ministries, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Undersecretary Alicia Bala, academician and columnist Dr. Queen Lee-Chua, and Jollibee Vice president for Human Resources Theresa Jotie.
"As a company that upholds the well-being of families and children, Jollibee continues to champion the welfare of the Filipino family and the significant role it plays in building a nation of well-rounded and caring individuals," says Vice-President for Marketing Albert Cuadrante. "Through the Jollibee Family Values Awards, we aspire to further strengthen the foundations of the family by recognizing those who serve as inspiration to others through their joy, unity, optimism, and generosity."
Last year, the first Jollibee Family Values Awards garnered over 1,300 nominations from all over the country. The five families who took home the first Jollibee Family Values Award were: the Cartojano family of General Santos City; Francisco family of Lucena, Quezon; Mercado family of Quezon City; Depla family of Sta. Maria, Bulacan; and Suplido family of Silay, Negros Occidental. These families stood out for their shared values and inspiring ways in which they have positively influenced their communities.
This year, the five winning families will each receive a cash prize of P100,000, a trophy designed by renowned brass sculptor Michael Cacnio, roundtrip airfare tickets to any local destination from Airphil Express, whole-day passes to Manila Ocean Park, and P10,000 worth of Jollibee Gift Certificates.
To join the search, nominators must simply accomplish the nomination form (available for free in all Jollibee branches nationwide or may be downloaded at Jollibee's corporate website -- www.jollibee.com.ph) and answer the questionnaire on the nominated family's suitability and eligibility. Deadline of submission of entries is on or before August 31, 2012.
For further details on the Jollibee Family Values Awards, visit the nearest Jollibee branch or log on to www.jollibee.com.ph.

Soft, romantic lighting and a sexy tune on the stereo: it's a surefire way to set the mood for a romantic evening with your Valentine.
Rather than race around the house to adjust a slew of light switches and frantically search for the remote that'll get the music set just right, impress your sweetie by having the house ready as you step over the threshold. It's a tactic that most custom electronics professionals mentioned when asked what they've done in the past for clients looking to spark some romance at home.
Many of the following scenarios involved the use of a home control system and the respective app that allowed the homeowners to evoke "romance" by tapping an icon on the screen of an iPhone or iPad. Some ideas also involved the use of a special button on a remote control or touchpanel. If you already own, or are planning to invest in a home control system, ask your CE pro to program a special Valentine's Day (or any other day the mood strikes) setting. Consider these:
Design and installation by Digital Home Technologies, Palatine, Ill.
Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
A primer on smart lighting and why you want it in your home.
From its moving bookcase entry to the stealth projection screen and fiber-optic star ceiling this theater's worthy of James Bond.
Big Ultra HD TVs make great presents for family, or for yourself.

I wish I could take easy courses, but thing is that my specialist program has a lot of really really hard prequisite courses and they essentially fill up my timetable. My highest marks are in electives, sadly. And in 4th year, if you take easy junior courses, it looks bad for grad/professional schools.
Dean's List is 3.50 at my school and that's not good enough for research, med, or some grad schools. I usually just put some major scholarships I got though, and that gives them an idea that I did well (sometime during my university career) haha without saying my GPA or Dean's List.

I didn't do my part. I haven't been watching A.I. since the audition episodes ended.
But I was greeted by story this morning from Yahoo! News:
Mouths dropped, eyes widened and several teenage girls hugged and cried when host Ryan Seacrest announced that the "Idol" crown went to: "David," followed by a long pause, "Cook!"
"Did you feel that?" said Skippy Jessop, 30, his homemade sign now headed for the trash bin. "It felt like a punch in the gut. We all just stood there with our mouths hanging open." ...
Trisha Webber's sign boasted 602 text-message votes for Archuleta — all of them sent during Tuesday night's final showdown. ...
"Everyone in that stadium needed to vote 1,000 more times," the legal assistant said. "It hurts."
3,000 people were at EnergySolutions Arena (and thousands more gathered together in various places around the state) to hear the announcement that David Archuleta had won. And had their faith shaken.
How could he have not won? Is it an evangelical conspiracy? Why can't a Mormon win in a popularity contest? (You remember Mitt Romney's presidential bid.) If we up our missionary efforts can we swing more votes next time?
In the end, I guess it's proof that God has more important things to worry about.
