Verburg Takes Fourth In 400 Meter Dash
DES MOINES, Iowa (June 8, 2012) - George Mason junior David Verburg's record-shattering individual collegiate season came to a close Friday evening, as he finished fourth in the finals of the 400 meter dash at day three of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on the campus of Drake University.
Verburg, who advanced to the finals after winning his heat on the meet at Wednesday, crossed the finish line in a time of 45.22 to take the fourth spot. Florida's Tony McQuay captured the title with a 44.58-second time, while Oregon's Mike Berry and Texas Tech's Gil Roberts rounded out the medal winners at 44.75 and 44.99, respectively.
For Verburg, it concluded an outstanding season in which he won the 400 meter title at the CAA and IC4A Championships while earning the top spot at the NCAA East Regionals. He earned the Men's Track Performer of the Meet award at the CAA Championships, and was named the USTFCCCA Southeast Region Male Track Athlete of the Year. He set a new career best with his 45.06-second time in the 400 at the CAAs, the second-fastest in school history and an Olympic Trials 'A' qualifying time.
He will have another chance at a national title as he competes as a part of the men's 4x400m relay tomorrow at 1:40 pm.

Suggestions/Tips - Bringing our first GSD home in two weeks!
Hello all,
My wife and I are very excited we'll be bringing our first GSD home in two weeks (September 2nd)! We've been working very closely with our breeder since the litter was born on July 6th. We've discussed many different topics with her (inside/outside companion, crate training, puppy fear stage around week 8, socialization, etc, etc). Our breeder sent us pictures of the litter at week 4 and we just got to see them for the first time yesterday (week 6)! It was so amazing to see them in-person and to get a chance to play with them and watch how each of them interact with us and the other pups. My wife and I will be visiting our breeder again next weekend to spend more time with the pups, at which time we'll take our pick of the litter - the following weekend we'll receive the little guy! :D My wife and I have been vigorously reading many different topics/threads here, have been watching countless videos on YouTube (my favorite videos are by tab289) , and read How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With by Clarice Rutherford (recommended by our breeder). We also have purchased all the items we think we should need to bring home a new puppy (toys, training treats/dental treats, bed, bowls, Fromm puppy food, clicker, break-away collar, leash, puppy pads, etc, etc). I thought I'd ask for any suggestions/tips you can think of that might help us/the pup make for an easy/fun transition from his litter mates/parents to his new home. Any training that is more important to start with when we first bring him home. Anything to be caution of. Really anything at all that you'd care to share/suggest we would truly appreciate! Thanks in-advance! These next two weeks could not pass by fast enough for me! Excited is an understatement! We can't wait to share many stories/pictures with you all! |
I would at least recommend you research everything, even the stuff your breeder told you..
I only suggest this because the diet we were suggested by a breeder was not the recommend diet by vet's in Australia, and we confirmed that through 2 different vets. Our breeder was fully accredited also :/... I am sure most are fine.. But like a doctor for myself, important info like this deserves a second opinion :) |
My favorite 'dog' book to date is this: . I've learned a lot from it.
I'd also recommend locating a local trainer who can work with you and teach you how to work with your dog and train him or her. Getting this stuff right up front will help all of you enjoy your lives together that much more. |

Drones are Ready for Takeoff
Will unmanned aerial vehicles—drones—soon take civilian passengers on pilotless flights?
- By Richard Conniff
- Photographs by Robbie McClaran
- Smithsonian magazine, June 2011, Subscribe
During a test flight last year off the Pacific coast of Latin America, an aerial drone launched from the USS McInerney relayed back to the ship video of an open skiff speeding across the water. The frigate's crew had long experience chasing drug smugglers, so they knew what they were seeing. The skiff was 20 miles ahead of the frigate and moving away as the sun went down. In the flight control room, operators instructed the drone to take up the chase.
Over the next three hours, the skiff stopped twice and shut down its engine—standard practice among smugglers listening for law enforcement aircraft. The drone, a 23-foot-long helicopter trailing a mile or two behind, was quiet enough to evade detection. It also had the range to keep up the pursuit when a manned helicopter, roughly twice its size, would have had to turn back and refuel. By the time the skiff made its rendezvous with a fishing boat under cover of darkness, the McInerney was on its tail. A flare went up as a boarding party moved in. The startled suspects began dumping contraband, but 132 pounds of cocaine was recovered when the smugglers were arrested.
Until now, drone aircraft have been confined largely to war zones—most recently in Libya—and they have become controversial for killing civilians along with insurgents. But critics and boosters alike say unmanned aircraft will increasingly be used for peacetime work. They disagree about the likely scale of the industry, but the Federal Aviation Administration is already considering new rules and training staffers to adjust to unmanned aircraft in U.S. airspace. "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when," says Peter Singer, an analyst with the Brookings Institution. "Is it going to be 2012 or 2014? The point is, it's going to happen."
In fact, it's happening now. Unarmed versions of the military Predator drone already patrol thinly populated stretches of the nation's borders. Predators have also been flown over cities to assess damage after hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.When smoke grounded other aircraft during a 2009 forest fire in Circle, Alaska, a drone provided infrared imagery that allowed officials to determine that no evacuation was necessary. And during the accident this spring at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the world's largest drone analyzed the emergency from high altitude, while a backpack-size drone inspected the crippled reactors at close quarters.
Drones will probably move first into jobs deemed "too dull, dirty or dangerous" for humans, says MIT automation expert Mary "Missy" Cummings. To monitor marine mammal populations off Alaska, for instance, oil companies have employed small manned aircraft flying at 300 feet, 200 miles offshore, in icy conditions. But a drone operated by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks recently did the job quietly enough not to scare off the animals. Police agencies are also lobbying for permission to use drones for building searches in hostage situations and for traffic management. With no need to carry people, drones designed for such work come in all sizes and shapes. Some look like a flying engine cowling (minus the rest of the plane) or a laptop with tail fins. Some are as big as a 737; others have the heft, and flapping wings, of a sparrow.
Some drones also look like conventional aircraft, and Cummings believes unmanned systems will ultimately replace even commercial pilots. She first saw the possibilities in the 1990s as a Navy pilot landing a highly automated F-18. "On carrier landings, it always did better than humans," she says. At some airports today, Cummings notes, Boeing and Airbus jets take off, land and brake to a stop without human hands on the controls. She predicts that within ten years cargo planes will fly without human pilots and that passenger jets will ultimately follow.
First, though, somebody will need to work out some glitches: a few months after that drug bust at sea, Navy operators in Maryland experienced a "lost link"—like losing your wireless connection—with the same model drone, a Northrop Grumman Fire Scout, as it was traveling at 70 miles an hour straight toward Washington, D.C. The drone briefly entered restricted air space (within 40 miles of the capital). Military officers contemplated shooting down the 3,000-pound robotic helicopter over a heavily populated metropolis. But before anyone could scramble the F-16 fighter jets, technicians on the ground regained control and turned the drone back to base.
A good place to watch the developing drone revolution, with all its technological, commercial and ethical complications, is an hour east of Portland, Oregon, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, an area otherwise known for windsurfing, craft beer and political progressivism. Go almost anywhere on either side of the river—to an old school building in Bingen, Washington, say, or a former Chevy dealership in Hood River, Oregon—and you will find somebody working on drones.

2012 was the correct estimate! June 2012, more precisely. That's when our company will be releasing the world's FIRST civilian drone that can be operated from anywhere on the planet. Latency between 400 and 1000 milliseconds.

a civilian passenger on a pilotless aircraft? of course, why not! but before i go please check the qualification and above all check and recheck the sanity and the personal history of the one holding the joystick......okey, let me go now.

@ Patrick Smith.
You said it all. This type of mythical nonsense needs to stop. She is being disingenuous when she states that it is common for commercial aircraft to be flown in autopilot during the crucial stages of flight (takeoff, climbout, decent and landing). They are typically relegated to monotonous portions of flight such as cruise where waypoint tracking is less a priority for pilots than monitoring engine parameters and aircraft performance. I am currently training to become a flight instructor in Canada and hopefully an airline pilot in the future. Nothing infuriates me more when I here such foolishness regarding the current or future state of automation in the cockpit. Automation is never a substitute for an experienced pilot who has shows good airmanship. One only needs to look at the skills of Sully as he saved his aircraft and passengers from certain death after a dual engine failure just after takeoff. Can a computer make those complex decisions? The simple answer is no.
Look at her on the Colbert Report on July 27, 2011. I was simple stunned.

That is because autonomous aircraft (AKA "Drones") can be traced back to the First World War. Israel did not exist then.

Regarding the Smithsonian Magazine article, Ready for Takeoff" by Richard Conniff, June 2011 concerning the development of aerial drones...all the examples of performance, scientists, organizations, and universities in the article are North American, either U.S. or Canadian. This gives the impression the drone is an American invention.
No mention or credit is given to the Israelis who truly invented the aerial drone in present modern form, having been using the drone since the 1980's.

As a nervous passenger, I would not for a moment consider getting aboard a pilotless aircraft. However, I would not object to having this option as part of an aircraft's redundant safety features.

I am a 90 year old retired naval aviator and Industrial engineer who always had a love affair of aviation. The explosion of high tech and power money will concentrate the direction of our efforts in many narrow self serving projets that make no sense for the well being of humans on this small planet. A small example is the consideration of atomic powered aircraft back in the 60s.
I would like to see more efforts made for private civil aviation with a whole new air traffic controlled system. In other words utility should be the major guidelines for R &D.
Posted by Richard C.Poore on May 20,2011 | 07:05 PM
I am an airline pilot and air travel columnist.
Missy Cummings, one of the more widely quoted proponents of the pilotless commercial planes concept, is at it again.
She may have a teaching position at MIT, but once again she proves that she has no idea what she is talking about.
I'm sorry, but a military drone is not a 767, and extrapolating the capabilities of these military machines into a civilian context is fraught with gigantic problems that Cummings chooses to ignore.
Also it reinforces the infuriating and utterly false notion that modern commercial aircraft are already so automated that they basically fly themselves, with the pilots on hand merely as a backup. Perhaps Miss Cummings flew F-18s in the Navy, but she obviously has little or no grasp of what goes on in a commercial airline cockpit.
Even the most "automatic" commercial flight is a very organic thing, subject to innumerable subjective inputs from the crew.
"At some airports today, Cummings notes, Boeing and Airbus jets take off, land and brake to a stop without human hands on the controls."
False. Automatic landings account for less than one percent of all commercial aircraft landings, and even when they are performed they require substantial human input. In many ways an automatic landing is more work-intensive than a manual one. Meanwhile, there is no such thing as an automatic takeoff.
"She predicts that within ten years cargo planes will fly without human pilots and that passenger jets will ultimately follow."
Preposterous on both counts. The idea that within a decade UPS or FedEx will be zipping our packages around in pilotless planes is beyond laughable. Passengers? Not in our lifetime.

Comments about 12-in Dovetail Jig:
Purchased this unit to make dovetail joints in the drawers of a bathroom vanity I was building. Directions were clear and simple and with a couple of practice trys I was able to make perfect dovetail joints. Unit needs to be mounted for use but rather than bolting it down I used 2 C-clamps with good success. Mounting holes are provided if you have the spot to mount it. I am very pleased with the jig and plan on purchasing the additinal templates to do through and mini dovetails.

Comments about 12-in Dovetail Jig:
Have always wanted to add this to my workshop and now I wish I had done it years earlier. Can't believe how easy it is to use and what a great job it does. It is well constructed and nice and solid. No problem with equipment. Major problem was trying to disseminate the manual of setup directions! They definitely could be improved, especially when it comes to explaining the function and use of the clamping handles. But the tool itself is definitely worth the investment.

Government Performance:
Lessons Learned for the Next Administration on Using Performance Information to Improve Results
GAO-08-1026T, Jul 24, 2008

Over the past 15 years, legislative and executive branch reform efforts have attempted to shift the focus of federal government management from a preoccupation with activities to the results or outcomes of those activities. Based on over a decade of work in this area, GAO has found a transformation in the capacity of the federal government to manage for results, including an infrastructure of outcome-oriented strategic plans, performance measures, and accountability reporting that provides a solid foundation for improving the performance of federal programs. However, agencies have made less progress in getting their managers' to use performance information in their decision making. GAO was asked to testify on the preliminary results of ongoing work looking at (1) trends in federal managers' use of performance information to manage, both governmentwide and at the agency level; (2) how agencies can encourage greater use of performance information to improve results; and (3) lessons learned from prior management reforms for the next administration. Our statement is based on prior GAO reports and surveys we conducted in 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2007. For the results of our 2007 survey, see e-supplement GAO-08-1036SP. GAO will be issuing a report at a later date that will explore the use of performance results in management decision making at selected agencies.
According to GAO surveys, since 1997 significantly more federal managers report having performance measures for the programs they manage. However, despite having more performance measures available, federal managers' reported use of performance information in management decision making has not changed significantly. For the collection of performance information to be considered more than meaningless paperwork exercises, it must be useful to and used by federal decision makers at all levels--including Congress. To reach this state, GAO believes that the next administration should promote three key practices that we have identified in our work over the last 10 years: (1) demonstrate leadership commitment to results-oriented management; (2) develop a clear "line of sight" linking individual performance with organizational results; and (3) build agency capacity to collect and use performance information. In addition to encouraging agencies to employ these practices, the next administration should: (1) adopt a more strategic and crosscutting approach to overseeing governmentwide performance; (2) improve the relevance of performance information to Congress; and (3) build agency confidence in assessments for use in decision making.

"Heart Flux" is the name of the piece at left, and it is part of The Teachers Art Show which opened today in the Main Reading Room. The exhibition of art by faculty members of the Darien Public Schools Art Department will run until the end of next month...in fact, it will be the final art exhibit in this building. Below, is a photo-montage of some of the works included.
This new exhibition explores the creative process and the relationship between teacher and student work. Many of the works were initiated as part of classroom demonstrations. See the attachment below for a fuller description.
When we meet tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. for our Fall Book Discussion Series and Jordon leads the talk about The Garden of Last Days, there's certain to be discussion of the pre 9/11 setting of the novel. There will also be discussion of Jordon's personal Dubus history. Jordon knew the author's father, Andre Dubus many years ago .When Janet and I went with Jordon this past summer to hear Andre (III) speak, it was a reunion of sorts...Jordon last saw the author more than 40 years ago!
The party will include a silent auction of some well-loved, recognizable items, giving attendees the opportunity to own a piece of the Old Darien Library. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served. Ticket price is $75.00 per person. RSVP by returning the card, attached below, or call 655-1234.
It was the last Annual Meeting in this building.The air outside was crisp and clear and the atmosphere inside was crackling and cheerful.
We heard from Kim Huffard, David Campbell, Louise Berry, and our Annual Meeting speaker Philip Van Munching...all great...but yes, it was bittersweet. There were reminiscences. There were thanks. There were kudos. There were laughs...and smiles...but, most of all, there was what holds us all together in the first place...this community...and the love that this community has for its Library. The anticipation for the Grand Opening of the New Darien Library is palpable. Remember the date: JANUARY 10, 2009.

Local parents have put together a meeting to discuss ways that you can get involved in creating a "Friends of the Children's Room."
Come, share in the excitement of our new building and a new opportunity to get connected to your Children's Room at Darien Library!
Among the yellows, browns, and oranges of fall, we're seeing a lot of purple in Darien. And that's alarming, because each purple ribbon around town represents a call for help to the domestic violence team in our police department. Over 80 calls – that's nearly two a week – were made in the past year.
October gives us lots of opportunities to learn about recognizing unhealthy relationships and making good decisions for ourselves and others. Just last week, the official Proclamation declaring National Domestic Violence Awareness Month took place at the Darien Library, along with a special screening of The Color Purple. Next week is our annual knit-a-thon in partnership with the local Domestic Violence Crisis Center. Any experienced knitter can help – call us at 655-1234 for details. We'll even provide patterns, yarn, and knitting needles. Let's all work to take purple out of the fall palette of colors in our community!
Dear Diary, Last night, Lily Koppel, author of The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal, spoke at the Library. What a fabulous presentation, and what a fabulous young woman! We'd read the book so we already knew that Florence Wolfson, the keeper of the real red leather diary was an interesting, vivacious, and intelligent woman. Last night, we got to see what kind of woman Lily Koppel is and we are really impressed (and now we know why Florence opened up to her). Lily is instantly likable; smart, articulate, thoughtful in her words and actions, a great storyteller, and most importantly...she really listens when people speak. The audience loved her and couldn't wait to talk with her. "Best program ever!" someone exclaimed. "I hope she comes back!" another said. Here are pictures from the evening that many did not want to see end.
Well, Diary, that's all for today. We had a great evening, thanks to Lily! We're glad we got to meet her.
We have no shortage of events at the Library during the month of October. On the schedule, we have a Meet the Author Program, our Foreign Film Series begins, and we return with our Short Story Discussion Group.
This Thursday, October 2nd at 7 p.m., Lily Koppel will be here to talk about her wonderful book, The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal.
Our Foreign Film Series begins on Friday, October 10th. Show time is at 7:30 p.m. and doors will open at 7.
Reserve Tuesday afternoons from 3-4 for our instantly-popular Short Story Discussion Group. Short Stories For Shorter Days begins on October 7th.
For a full list of all of our October happenings, click here.
We knew it was coming. The last Annual Meeting in this building and it will be on Sunday, October 19th at 5:30 p.m.
Our featured speaker will be Philip Van Munching, the author of Boys Will Put You on a Pedestal (So They Can Look Up Your Skirt): A Dad's Advice For Daughters and co-author (with Bernie Katz, PhD) of Actually, It IS Your Parents' Fault: Why Your Romantic Relationship Isn't Working and How to Fix It. When Van Munching last spoke at the Library, apparent were his humor, his wit, his intelligence, and his easy manner. He's got a great way with words, as evidenced by his memorable presentation (and his books' great, smile-producing titles(!)) and he grew up in Darien, so we are truly delighted to welcome him as our speaker to share his thoughts as we wax nostalgic.
Since this is the Annual Meeting of Friends, we will also hear from Kim Huffard, President of the Board, and Louise Berry, Director of the Library, to learn about the year's developments. We also look forward to the election of Officers and Trustees.
There will be a reception following the meeting.

Apple TV could double as cable box, report says
Apple's set-top box could be destined to stream live TV channels, according to a new report.
Citing "people familiar with the matter," the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) says that Apple has been in talks with cable operators in the U.S. to pitch its $99 streamer as an alternative to the set top boxes cable subscribers rent.
The report suggests no deals have yet been made toward that goal, but that Apple has at least talked with cable provider Time Warner.
The Apple TV has remained what Apple considers a "hobby" device when compared … Read more

New study pinpoints what happens before teen driver crashes
Denver, Colorado (April 16, 2011) - Each year teens eagerly anticipate prom season by preparing for the dance and late night celebrations with their friends. Many teens also drive to and from prom events, which can be an open invitation to a car crash due in part to their lack of experience.
A new study from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and State Farm® hones in on the most common errors teen drivers make leading up to a serious crash. Teen drivers are involved in fatal crashes at four times the rate of adults. The findings were published in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention.
Researchers analyzed a nationally-representative federal database of more than 800 crashes involving teen drivers and identified a few common "critical errors" that are often one of the last in a chain of events leading up to a crash. Seventy-five percent of these crashes were due a critical teen driver error, with three common errors accounting for nearly half of all serious crashes. Among crashes with a teen driver error:
The researchers note that environmental conditions, such as poor weather, vehicle malfunction, aggressive driving, or physical impairments such as drowsy driving were not primary factors in most crashes.
"At betterteendriving.com State Farm offers tips for parents when talking to their kids about driving safely," said State Farm spokeswoman Angela Thorpe. "It's important that parents set house rules and stress the rules are in place for safety, not control. Also, simply listening to your teen can tune you into whether or not they're really ready for new privileges, such as driving later at night or with a date."

24 April 2012
A Caerphilly county borough woman has been taken to court for a fly-tipping offence.
Penelope Beaumont of Wedgewood Court, Caerphilly was taken to court for an offence of allowing an unknown person to dispose of her waste, which was subsequently found dumped on Penyrheol Common, Caerphilly last summer.
Beaumont appeared at Caerphilly Magistrates Court on 3rd April 2012. She pleaded guilty to the offence under Section 34 (2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. She was given a 12 month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £100 investigation costs and £85 prosecution costs.
Rob Hartshorn, Head of Public Protection at Caerphilly County Borough Council said, "Fly-tipping is a serious environmental crime, which can have a real detrimental effect on our countryside. We will not allow the very small minority who feel it is acceptable to get away with it".
The council is asking residents and local businesses to be aware of their legal duty to get rid of their waste properly and to report any instances of fly-tipping they may witness.
Offenders of fly-tipping can face fines of up to £50,000 and/or imprisonment.
To report fly-tipping or any other environmental concern in Caerphilly county borough, please call Caerphilly StreetPride on 01443 866 566 or visit www.caerphilly.gov.uk/streetpride

On September 13 the East Gadsden Jaguars suffered a tough 61-0 loss to the Godby Cougars. Last week the Jaguars were off, the team used the extra time to rest their bodies and do some team-building exercises. East Gadsden's head coach, Tracy Laing, described the mood of the team after the Godby game as "kind of disturbing' the game was a big letdown. (We have) got to take the loss and move on. I'm ready to get the Godby game out of sight."
After a win at FAMU High, the West Gadsden Panthers had a home game against the Vernon Yellow Jackets.
Vernon kicked the ball off to the Panthers. The Panther starts off running the ball, Antonio Murphy, No. 12, had four rushes for 25 yards on the first drive then Panther Quarterback Qwuantrezz, a sophomore, threw a touchdown pass to Marquiz Brown, No. 8, for 36 yards. Vernon's junior quarterback G. Johnson had an 80-yard kick-off return for a touchdown, putting the score at 7-6 in the first quarter with six minutes left.
Times Sports
Using a stifling defense to go along with a potent offensive attack, the Munroe Bobcats opened the regular season in grand fashion Friday with a shutout of St. Joseph Academy in St.
Bobcat defenders kept the pressure on flash quarterback Thompson Hinman, sacking him three times, one each by ends Walt Kelleher and Max Baroody and tackle Joey Fallis, and forcing an interception and two intentional grounding penalties. Munroe also caused and recovered three fumbles.
The Munroe volleyball team had a tough opening week with three losses. Two of the three matches went to the fifth game but with the same result. The team is rebuilding, following the graduation of four-year starters Kaitlyn Sirmons, Mollie Edwards and Audrey Thomas, and with only one senior, the team members hope to hit their stride mid-season.
West Gadsden opened their season with a district loss to Port St. Joe.
On a night where seemingly every other high-school football contest in the area was battling the rain, the host Munroe Bobcats and the West Gadsden Panthers enjoyed a dry and balmy evening Friday for the season-opening jamboree at Corry Field in Quincy. Participating teams included Aucilla Christian, Sneads and Freeport in this old-style gridiron get-together.
Our three local high school football teams have been preparing during the summer months and now it is time for East Gadsden, West Gadsden and Robert F. Munroe to strap up and hit the field.
Gadsden County Schools Superintendent Reginald James introduced Michael Hunt during a press conference Tuesday as the new head coach of East Gadsden High School's varsity basketball team.
Terrance Chisolm
This upcoming football season, the mighty Jaguars of East Gadsden will take the field under new leadership as first-year head coach Tracy Laing takes over for the recently departed Corey Fuller, who has moved on to become a part of the Florida A&M coaching staff.

Love -- for it.
For more on the CBO's annual budget and economic outlook and with the president will say this -- -- We go to Michael Bryant senior political analyst at the Washington examiner and -- Fox News contributor.
Michael good to see you start with this CBO report will it influence policy and what happens in Washington in even the smallest way.
Well as rickets and pointed out these CBO as required to give what amounts to -- the fictitious.
Look forward it at the budget numbers.
The deficits on any policy that congress is likely to follow.
It will be higher than projected there.
Unless other action is taken out that Medicare doc fix for example is not gonna go away that's been a feature since I think 1997.
They've been but voting at every year.
Get on -- the president's calling for a tax increase or for increased revenues from closing loopholes are changing.
Tax preferences.
I think that's a non -- -- not only in the Republican House but in the democratic majority senate.
And in any spending cuts that even the president might propose.
A -- is just nibbling around the edges so to speak at what point Michael and it what time do you think lawmakers will have to act.
And terms are really writing our nation financial life.
Well I think the I think what we're gonna see is instead of acting we're gonna see congress stumbling because it's gonna it's hard for me to envisage.
A major budget.
The deal that does anything more than extend continuing resolutions that is current funding of the government.
Going forward the house Republicans.
The two years have been presenting.
Budgets and -- -- budget chairman -- Paul Ryan is promising a budget that will got to send us towards budget balance within ten years.
The senate Democrats haven't passed the budget in three years they say they're gonna pass one this year but they may have some trouble rounding up the vote.
It's increase do you pick I wanna know what people talk about behind the scenes in Washington the -- of the people who appear at an out the -- but on this program.
Talk about how dangerous.
The territory is that the Federal Reserve has gotten into in terms of buying.
Our nation's debt and -- buying mortgage securities and when the Fed eventually gets a point where it no longer does that.
And begins to unwind that is that the day of reckoning and do people in Washington acknowledge that.
Well I think if you talk to political people in Washington public officials are if you talk to people who were focused on elections.
They don't talk about that very much you hear it from us some Republicans you -- we hear from some Democrats but.
Basically there he given their their -- -- their budgetary business and government and setting policy on things like immigration.
By the end they're just content to let -- chairman Bernanke over on constitution avenue keep his printing presses running.

LIVE - Tonbridge Angels v Basingstoke Town
2:33pm Saturday 1st September 2012 in Sport By John Boyman
This live event has finished
FULL-TIME - Tonbridge Angels 0 Basingstoke Town 0
A far from thrilling game but it might just be a decent point given Town's injury problems. They could have nicked it as well.
See The Monday Gazette for a full report and all of the reaction to the game.
There will be three minutes of stoppage time.
SUBSTITUTION - Basingstoke Town - Stefan Brown on for Delano Sam-Yorke (86min)
Town break and it's a shooting chance for Wes Daly, who blasts well over from the edge of the area.
SUBSTITUTION - Tonbridge Angels - Mikel Suarez on for Nathan Koranteng (84min)
SUBSTITUTION - Basingstoke Town - Simon Dunn on for Nathan Campbell (82min)
Tonbridge left-back Henry Muggeridge shoots from the edge of the area but a good block from Jay Gasson deflects the ball wide.
YELLOW CARD - Basingstoke Town - Tim Sills
Sills is booked for the challenge that started all the trouble.
YELLOW CARD - Basingstoke Town - Jordace Holder-Spooner
Substitute Holder-Spooner, who was warming up on the sideline, went over to get involved in the argy-bargy and is booked.
Robbie Kember gifts the ball to Wes Daly in midfield and he feeds Tim Sills. His low shot hits the post with the 'keeper beaten.
The rebound goes right across goal, with Sills' challenge on Ben Judge sparking a melee.
George Purcell almost gets in behind the Town defence but Robert Rice does well to put him under pressure, forcing the striker to pull his shot wide.
That's a decent opportunity for the hosts. Sonny Miles flicks on a corner and the ball drops to Nathan Koranteng, who takes a touch before lashing in an angled drive that flies narrowly over.
Toby Little's cross finds Nathan Campbell at the far post and while his knock-down is not collected, the ball breaks for Wes Daly on the edge of the area and he blasts wide. Not a bad effort.
YELLOW CARD - Tonbridge Angels - Rory Hill
Hill is booked for bringing Nathan Campbell down in midfield.
No changes at the break for either side and we're under way again.
HALF TIME - Tonbridge Angels 0 Basingstoke Town 0
Not a great first half. Tonbridge had more possession and territory but Basingstoke probably created more going forward.
YELLOW CARD - Tonbridge Angels - George Purcell
Ross Adams clearly fouls Purcell but the referee plays advantage and Nathan Koranteng blasts over from 25 yards. The official goes back to the original incident and books Purcell, presumably for something that happened on the ground after Adams' challenge.
A good move from Town fashions another chance. Stuart Lake is given space to fire a great ball across the field for Matt Warner, who takes a touch before crossing early and finding Tim Sills at the near post. Sadly, he cannot finish it off, heading wide.
Chay Morris' kick forward is flicked on by Tim Sills for Toby Little and his cross is only just too high for Delano Sam-Yorke at the far post.
A mistake in the Tonbridge defence gives Delano Sam-Yorke a chance to make ground in the area. He beats a couple of men but the angle is narrow and his shot saved by Lee Worgan, who collects the ball at the second attempt.
That's a good chance for Tonbridge's George Purcell, who gets in behind the Town defence but scuffs badly wide.
Delano Sam-Yorke does brilliantly down the right, beating two men. His pull-back is decent as well, finding Tim Sills, but the striker's effort is wayward to say the least. A decent opportunity wasted.
That's a decent spell of pressure for Town, with a couple of dangerous crosses flying in - but nothing comes of it.
Delano Sam-Yorke is perhaps a bit fortunate there as an altercation ends with him seeming to put his head into Danny Walder. There was no force and the defender did him a favour by not making too much of it, but the referee could have seen it differently.
Sam-Yorke is not even booked - but he does have to remove some black cycling shorts on the side of the pitch as they do not match his red kit.
YELLOW CARD - Basingstoke Town - Nathan Campbell
Stuart Lake makes a mistake in midfield and Campbell brings Rory Hill down on the edge of the area, earning himself a caution.
It's a decent chance for Frannie Collin from the dead ball but he can only smack his effort into the wall.
Town get the game under way. It is 3-5-2, with Matt Warner on the right.
It's an overcast afternoon in Kent but the pitch looks in decent shape. I'm without electricity in the press box here so you may have to be a bit patient towards the end of the game if my laptop battery runs out of juice.
Team news - Three changes for Town, two of them enforced. Goalkeeper Ashley Bayes and Nathan Smart are out injured, while Jordace Holder-Spooner is dropped to the bench.
Shaun McAuley and Jide Ogunbote are still out of contention, but Stuart Lake has been passed fit to pay and Simon Dunn is on the bench.
Chay Morris, Nathan Campbell and Toby Little come in and it looks like they will play 3-5-2, with Matt Warner forced to play as right wing-back.
Tonbridge feature former Town midfielder Robbie Kember, while the main danger is likely to come from prolific striker Frannie Collin.
Tonbridge: Worgan, Walder, Muggeridge, Kember, Judge, Miles, Hill, Piper, Purcell, Collin, Koranteng. Subs: Suarez, Crimmen, Lovell, Browning.
Basingstoke: Morris, Rice, Warner, Adams, Gasson, Lake, Daly, Campbell, Sills, Sam-Yorke, Little. Subs: Brown, Holder-Spooner, Paterson, Dunn, McDonnell.

Meditate in nature to help relieve stress of cancer fight
By Sheryl M. Ness, R.N.
6 comments posted
One of my favorite ways to relax is to simply step outside and enjoy being in nature for 10-20 minutes.
I enjoy a simple walk, taking in the sights, smell and sound around me. Being out in nature is a great way to let go of stress and focus on your surroundings.
If you're not sure how to get started, try this — each day, plan to spend at least 15 minutes outdoors in nature. If you live in an urban area, find your favorite park, neighborhood or green space and enjoy the uniqueness of being outdoors.
Next, be aware of the entire spectrum of your senses:
- What do you see?
- What do you smell?
- How do you feel?
- What do you hear?
As you spend time in nature, find a comfortable place and meditate by sitting with your eyes closed. Focus on your breathing for at least 5 minutes.
You can also try a walking meditation, focusing on taking in the beauty of nature, letting go of worries and anxieties.
Notice the little things, such as the way a tree provides shade and protection, the different shapes and colors of flowers, the scents of being outdoors, the gentle breeze on your skin and the clouds in the sky. Give your body a gentle stretch as you take in all of the sensory experiences.
Next, focus your attention on five things that you're grateful for each day. Think about each one as a special gift.
My favorite place to walk is near a group of pine trees that I love. I take in the smell of the pine, look up to see the beautiful branches. I feel the strength of the trees and the beauty of how they're created. I think about the people I love, the positive aspects of my day, and leave behind a worry or two.
How do you relax in nature? Try this exercise daily for a week and write me with your comments.

The theme of this week's Facebook Friday has turned out to be quite the soap opera. So, rather than spoil the fun with extensively reporting on news of Facebook facial recognition or Facebook's acquisition of software firm Sofa, let's stick to the juicy, guilty-pleasure-inducing drama. Enjoy!
The Next Lifetime Movie
On an even creepier note, David Voelkert of Indiana was arrested this week for allegedly Facebook "friending" a 17-year-old girl and admitting to her that he planned to kill his wife. Think that's bad? The teenage girl was actually Angela Voelkert… Mr. Voelkert's wife.
Angela created the fake identity of Jessica Studebaker as a means of spying on her husband during the process of their divorce. And boy did she find some dirt! Unwittingly, David not only told "Jessica" that he had installed a tracking device on his wife's car, but asked the teenager to find someone at her school who would be willing to be a hit man. "There should be some gang-bangers there that would put a cap in her ass for $10,000. I am done with her crap!"
Oh wait – there's more: David asked 17-year-old "Jessica" to run away with him after he killed his wife.
Now, here's an M. Night Shyamalan ending for you: David suspected that "Jessica" was actually Angela, obtained a notarized affidavit stating that he had no intentions of harming his wife or running away with an underage girl, went along with the story in order to use it in court for himself, and all charges were dropped.
The Trick up Her Facebook Sleeve
So, first we heard about a woman who had all 152 of her Facebook friends' profile pictures tattooed Brady Bunch style on her arm. Now, it has come out that the whole thing was just a marketing tactic for a tattoo company.
Dutch News reported Wednesday that the Rotterdam tattoo artist who claimed to have created the Facebook tattoo, Dex Moelker admitted that the tattoo (and video that came along with it) was nothing more than a stick-on advertising stunt. "It is a try-out tattoo, a transfer, that washes off in a couple of days", said Moelker.
On the one hand, it's refreshing to see that the girl we thought was dumb enough to permanently mark her body with Facebook friends is not actually that willy-nilly. On the other hand, we got duped.

Implementing Obamacare
Obamacare, the biggest change in the nation's health-care system in decades, is upon us.
With the health-insurance marketplaces scheduled to open for enrollment Oct. 1, millions of Americans, and officials at all levels of government, are trying to figure out what the sweeping Affordable Care Act means for them. On Jan. 1, the law goes into full effect.
Over the coming months and years, The Washington Post will follow the administration's efforts to promote the legislation and examine the implementation of the law at the federal and state levels, as well as the continued political fight in Congress.

So that could give him an incentive to sell an early copy of the album for however much.Damn what's up with niggas albums leakin a month early? Toro y moi did too. Niggas needd to stop trusting these label heads, probably getting some cash on the side just to leak shit smhwhy would they leak it for money when they could get way more off album sales? smh
