DC's (Next) Budget Battle
Monday, December 09, 2013
Congress goes on vacation Friday, before then a budget deal needs to be reached in order to preserve several social safety programs. Lori Montgomery, politics and economic policy reporter for the Washington Post, explains why this deal is not a landmark of bipartisanship despite moving along (relatively) smoothly.
U.S. Debt Outlook: Downgrade to Negative
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
[S&P doesn't] have a lot of credibility left after totally blowing all major calls of the past decade...The chance that the United States would not pay its debts after more than 200 years of being the best creditor in the world, that chance exists. It is quite remote in my assessment. But there's no question that S&P is trying to swing the other way and trying to get some attention from the left and right, and it's obviously working.
— Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund and professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, on The Brian Lehrer Show.
Downgrade to Negative
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund and professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, talks about why Standard & Poor's downgraded the outlook for U.S. debt to "negative" and how that factors into the ongoing battle over the national debt. Washington Post Economic Policy Reporter reporter Lori Montgomery joins the conversation to talk about how the S&P rating might change the political landscape of debt in Washington.

Kidnapping Victim Hannah Anderson To Appear On 'Today' Show
Hannah Anderson, the 16-year-old kidnapping victim who was rescued in Idaho after a multistate search by authorities, will appear on NBC's Today show to discuss the incident. Oprah Winfrey's O-W-N Network is doubling down on Tyler Perry's Love Thy Neighbor. The cable network announced ahead of the scripted comedy's finale that it has picked up 26 more episodes to premiere in January 2014. OWN has also ordered four more episodes for Perry's scripted drama The Haves and Have Nots, bringing the total to 36. As we already know, Kanye West debuted the first photo of his and Kim Kardashian's baby daughter North West during a taping of Kris Jenner's talk show earlier this week. So why did the singer chose to reveal the pic on Kris and how are they keeping the photo a secret until Kanye's episode airs on TV on Friday? An audience member told E! news, "They didn't even tell us Kanye was coming on until we were on the set." "They only showed it for a second. They took everyone's phones away so no one could snap a picture."

FOX 47 - Top Stories
Madison, Wis. --- The Madison Mounted Horse Patrol said good-bye to one of its own this weekend.
"Jack" the horse was admitted into emergency surgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine after colic symptoms turned serious. During surgery, it was determined that his condition was grave and he passed away.
Jack began his police career after being rescued from a horse auction and eventually was donated to the unit in 2010.
Officials with the mounted patrol ask that anyone wishing to donate in Jack's honor, to send them to:
The Friends of the Madison Mounted Horse Patrol
PO Box 2367 Madison, WI 53701
Donations can also be sent online at www.madisonmounted.org.
Funds will go towards furthering the mission of the Madison Mounted Police as well as helping to purchase the department's next police horse.

Area E – Snohomish County
including Everett, Marysville, Arlington, Warm Beach, Stanwood, Edmonds, Mukilteo
Also in this area is a wonderful small neighborhood called Warm Beach. It was the 'summer home' community for Everett and the views and beaches are great here. Lake Stevens and Lake Goodwin are the big lakes and very affordable; there are also a lot of little lakes that are fun for getaway cabins.
Everett has little or no waterfront — mostly industrial. South of Everett is Mukilteo and Edmonds, both with water view properties that are outstanding. Some of the best buys in water view are in these neighborhoods. I love Edmonds — the feel of a small town with all the amenities of a city, including wonderful restaurants, shops, and nice streets for just walking. The ferry to Kingston takes off from Edmonds.
Favorite thing about this area? Edmonds. I'd live there — as long as I had a beach cabin somewhere.

(click here to view the main article: What in the world is a gong bath?)
Gina Marie: Please talk about the gongs.
Dan: The Planetary Gongs are made in Germany by just five men and they've been spreading around the globe for about 10-15 years now. We had seen some players in Connecticut five years ago and they had the same instruments. We were so enamored and impressed by what they were doing and the experience we had, so we came back and talked and literally started doing some prayers, and decided this is what we want to do.
Gina Marie: Please explain how the gongs are tuned to different planets.
Dan: [The gongs] came from a gentleman named Hans Cousto who is a Swiss mathematician and musicologist. He was credited with discovering the literal vibrational frequency of the sun. Through his work and his understanding of how the classic Tibetan Singing Bowls are made with different metals and alloys that were in the original recipes, he took those metal recipes and, with his scientific measurements of those vibrations of the sun, was able to craft all the other Planetary Gongs. Each gong is the sound of that planet as it would make one orbit around the sun.
Gina Marie: Is there a connection between those vibrations and our bodies?
Dan: Yes. [Hans Cousto] wrote a really neat book called "The Cosmic Octave" and he found there's a harmonic signature that is found in everything (your shirt, the wood in this floor, your eyes, and the gongs…) The suggestion is by the people who have been doing this a lot longer than we have, is that on the cellular level and just by hearing that vibration, there's a re-set, a reminder, of the harmonic frequencies of the universe which then on a subtle level, brings us back into harmonic alignment with life itself. An attunement.
Gina Marie: Talk about this very large Quartz Crystal Singing Bowl I see over there.
Dan: According to those who make them, it is attuned to the third eye chakra but also is meant to help adjust the pineal gland, as well.
Gina Marie: Are all of the singing bowls tuned to the human chakras?
Nacole: Yes, that's right.
Gina Marie: Why would you recommend Vibrational Gong Baths and Sound Healing Meditation to people who are new to it?
Nacole: The reason people keep coming back and the reason we keep continuing to play, is at the end [of the gong bath], seeing the people being touched or saying that they've been healed in some way, or letting go of some emotional experience they may have been holding onto.
Dan: For a long time I have practiced many different styles of meditation and there are some people who, for whatever reason, can't get out of their thought process, and they get frustrated with breathing right or different techniques. What we have found is that some people have a much easier time getting into that stillness of the mind, and that quiet state, through concentration on the gongs. That's why we've continued to do so well and really bring some benefit to people. The term used is Sound Healing and the gentleman who has been playing these for a long time since the 60's, says a healing moment doesn't have to be a physical healing. A healing moment can be the first time somebody experiences the awareness of that gap between thoughts, and realizing 'I'm not my thoughts.' That's why we like to do it, because it really can be a huge door for people to explore when they have that experience.
Gina Marie: I've heard of people with physical conditions finding relief through the gong bath. Can you share anything about this?
Nacole: My mom has Multiple Sclerosis. She doesn't sleep well and she has a lot of pain. She loves the gongs. She actually gave us the loan for our first set of gongs. She loves the feel [of them] and when she goes home at night [after a gong bath], she can sleep, she has no pain. It really helps her.
Gina Marie: I understand you also do gong baths outside. How is that different than being indoors?
Nacole: I love playing outside, my favorite is outside. Birds love it and they chirp so much when we play outside. You're laying on the earth so you get the earth energy.
Dan: A couple of times we've been outside and the birds will flock to the nearest tree and they'll be singing along the whole time. It's really neat.
Nacole: Sometimes we play at parties where we'll be set up outside on the lawn and play all day long. The people will go in and out of the house, laying with the gongs, then going back to the party, and coming back again later for more. They love it.

Hello there,i have been searching for a new sleeping bag (lost my old synthetic one).i asked and searched around on the web and came across couple of brands:FF humingbirdWM ultraliteGo lite adrenalineZpacks -7 bag - though this one has significantly less down than the others so i dont think it can actually go for 20F.so i basically have 3 questions:1. if badget is NOT an issue which bag should i buy ?2. Is there some high quality brand that i didnt check? please only if they are of a higher quality than FF and WM.3. 20F\-7C bag is suitable for summer+late summer early fall in europe right?
Edited by Anubis on 06/03/2012 03:44:23 MDT.
Ul super stretch are seller. Keep you warm, great loft, very light, and they are stretchy so you don't feel claustraphobic. Best bag I've ever used.
can you post a link to this bag's specs?
the western mountaineering alpinlite if your looking for a 20 deg bag mines awesome i love it kevin
im really slim. i will fit the ultralite (which is basically the same back just slimmer) with some extra space :)
your saying im fat ?? just because i won t fit in an ultralite lol just kidding the ultralight is too tight for me only because i have wide shoulders its a fantastic bag though and if you fit i say go for it the alpinlite is much roomier than the ultralite so for my big frame it fits me well either way you can t go wrong with western mountaineering bags kevin
Edited by divr6347 on 06/03/2012 14:31:38 MDT.
that's exactly what i'm trying to find out.because WM are so expansive i want to make sure that buy this for a long time to come and won't get that "darn i could have paid another 20 bucks and have a batter one " feeling. so are there higher end down sleeping bags than WM and FF , assuming that budget is not an issue?
Edited by Anubis on 06/03/2012 16:01:24 MDT.
I have an Ultralite. It is my main go to bag for 90% of my trips.That being said, it is somewhat expensive and I'm not sure you get more for the extra money. I'd still buy another one (or FF model). I like the slimmer size, which is harder to find in mainstream bags.I would check out Montbell UL Spirals too. You can find them on sale for prices $100-200 less than WM, FF.
If price is not an issue, you may want to check out Valandre. Those that own them, typically love them. Very high quality materials and workmanship.www.valandre.com
Have you considered Nunatak?Their alpinist looks interesting. 22 oz for a 6' 20 degree bag. But not cheap..Nunatakusa.com
Try contacting some of the companies mentioned to see if there's anything they can do to make a better bag for you that's not on their websites.
Arthur -You're on the right track - FF, Western Mountaineering, Nunatak, and Valandre all make great down bags. My answers to your other questions: #3 Yes, a 20F bag should work in Europe through autumn unless you sleep really cold. #1 - I'd get a Nunatak Back Country Blanket with a few custom features: wider at the shoulders, a few extra ounces of down, and some extra length. That's Nunatak's edge [and why its price premium is justified] - you can tweak the standard models to accommodate your size and preferences.Richard
Arthur - I have a Valandre Mirage that I'm considering selling. PM me if interested.Richard
I own a Montbell, UL spiral, down, #3 bag purchased about 1 year ago. Love the weight, construction and dual direction zipper. I'm a warm sleeper so I very rarely close the zipper completely. I use the bag for 3 season hiking where temperatures have varied from 30 to 50 degrees F.My issue with this bag is I tend to over heat and sweat even in low temperatures. It doesn't seem to breath very well, so condensation builds up inside. Montbell told me this is more or less the way the bag is - it's not Goretex!I was wondering if this is the same with WM and FF brands?
John Markee- you mean this bag :http://www.montbell.us/products/disp.php?cat_id=797&p_id=2321143Lower limit: -1CFill power: 650weight: 879g/ 1lb 15ozThe WM Ultralite is lighter and warmer .Richard Lyon - Valandre looks good although i rather buy the WM ultralite which is 49 grams havier but has 88 grams more down fillwhat do you think?
Arthur, I think John meant this bag:http://www.montbell.us/products/disp.php?cat_id=795&p_id=2321151[EN TESTED]42˚F/ 5˚C(Comfort), 33˚F/ 1˚C(Lower Limit), 6˚F/ -14˚C(Extreme*) *We do not advise consumers to reference the extreme rating for general use. 800 Fill Power Goose Down 12-denier Ballistic Airlight Nylon 100 wash rated Polkatex® Durable Water Repellant [Max User Height] 5' 10" [Inside Shoulder Girth] 57"~68" [Inside Knee Girth] 46"~55" [Stuffed Size] φ5.1" x 10.1" Color: BASM(Balsam)[Weight] 1 lb. 4 oz.[Fill Weight] 11.0 oz.
My single-arrow quiver = WM Ultralight
Marquis Toson - this bag is too cold, only 11 oz. of down fill and en rating of 1C. i think it's too. i think that -7 rating is the most accurate for high altitudes in Europe. so i checked the down hugger #1 which is rated to -9C/15F , but it's really heavy . 2.5 lb/1048g. and expensive 419$. i still lean towards the WM ultalite . any ideas?Jason Picard - sorry friend , English isn't my first language. what do you mean by that?
Edited by Anubis on 06/13/2012 01:36:17 MDT.
I have the Down Hugger UL Super Stretch (ridiculous naming convention, I know) No. 2. Have had it for three plus years and it still looks brand new. Handles everything I throw at it from camping under the stars, to tarps to tents. 20-ish to 60-ish, where I just sleep on top. Should probably get a 40 version here shortly, I've (it's) earned it.
Can't find it in the Mont-bell website, only seeing #3 and #1. can i have a link please.

Karl Lagerfeld deemed her a 'fashion role model for an entire generation' when presenting her with an "Icon of the Year" award in 2008. And her hugely successful handbag line and fashion store in London's Spitalfields are testament to her fashion credentials.
So HELLO! Online was delighted to have the opportunity to chat to style icon Mischa Barton and get some sartorial tips from the lady herself. And sitting down for a cup of tea with the star in one of London's most lavish hotels, the first thing that struck me was her beautiful doll-like features that had the entire room transfixed.
Not to mention her lovely, totally down-to-earth manner that instantly put me at ease as we got chatting about fashion tips for HELLO! Online readers. "Wear things the way that you feel the most comfortable," is, according to the 26-year-old, key advice for the fashionistas amongst you.
"Make clothes an extension of your own personality – that's definitely how I see fashion," she said, adding: "Fit the trends to you, not the other way round. Find out what's popular this season and figure out how it can work for you."
The actress, who shot to fame in her role as Marissa on hit TV show The OC, was talking at the launch of her line of mobile phone accessories with Uunique London, revealing her brand new designs to fit the iPhone 5.
Wearing a gorgeous cream embellished maxidress, Mischa looked gorgeous as she talked us through the collection, which, emblazoned with her logo and featuring lots of pretty patterns, is cute, quirky and has the star written all over it. Speaking about her collaboration, the star said: "I love accessories and the thing about phone covers is that you can totally change them to match your outfit."
So is design where she can see her career heading? "No, as I'm still heavily involved in acting," she replied. "I have just wrapped on a film with Jason Statham and I'm going to start shooting another film in January.
"For me, it's about doing a mixture of the things I love. Design is something I find quite easy and I enjoy as something as an extension of my personality – I've always had a visual eye and I'm very picky about the way things look."
With filming, splitting her time between London and LA and opening her new store, Mischa has had "the busiest year".
So we're keen to find out how the super slim star manages to stay in such great shape. "I run a lot," she admits. "And I often do weight training, but running really is my favourite thing.
"I try to run every day. If I'm working I have to skip, but I love it. I can get a bit obsessed!"
And she has a healthy attitude towards food and dieting, revealing that: "I do like indulging in some things, but I really like healthy food.
"If I am in a place where I can get healthy food, I much prefer it. I tend to go for vegetarian and vegan foods."
Finally, we want to know whether living in both countries is tiring.
"It is exhausting, yes, and I rely a lot on Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream as my skin gets so dehydrated with all the flying, but I love being able to live in both places.
"My sister is here in London, I have other family here and I love the culture. But on the other hand, I get the weather of LA and that is where the work is.
"I totally get the best of both worlds!"
Source: Hello!
Interesting point re: working with Jason Statham. So far no solid information has come out on this project.

As market conditions shift and competitive pressures intensify, so companies have to adopt new strategies. That, in turn, means they need new operational models to accommodate these new plans.
But rising volatility and business complexity have recently made operational transformation much more difficult. And, as another three billion consumers join the global middle class in the next few decades – straining far-flung supply chains –conventional operational models will come under increasing strain.
In a perfect world, a company's day-to-day operations are managed for peak performance, so that it maximises its profits while minimising its risks, costs and losses. But in the real world management must make constant trade-offs in the risk-cost-loss equation, if it's to keep the company's operational infrastructure aligned with its current strategy. To strike the right balance, management must be crystal clear about its operational goals and develop key performance metrics that will enable it to manage those operations within well-defined tolerances.
Companies in a wide range of manufacturing and service industries are reshaping their operations to make them more agile, flexible and responsive to changing market conditions. That's no easy task.
Over the past decade, most manufacturers have generated major business benefits by reducing operational waste, variability and inflexibility. But many companies have been unable to build on these gains because they haven't developed team leaders who can do three things: continuously identify and make efficiency improvements; align the corporate vision with activity on the shop floor; and demonstrate the technical and interpersonal skills that will help establish a lasting culture of operational excellence.
Creating an agile operation in the services sector is an even bigger challenge. In factories, idle workers and stacks of inventory provide clear signals that an operation is poorly designed. In service operations, by contrast, it's often difficult to identify waste and inefficiency. Management may be aware of operational problems without being able to define them in detail, let alone design ways to correct them. Yet failure to understand how well its operations are functioning can be fatal to a service provider.
The global alternative asset management industry is expected to experience a period of transformation over the coming years. Are you ready?

|Tuesday, 21 February 2012 06:50
A two alarm fire damaged a Seven Devils home last night, a blaze that busied firemen most of the evening. Just before 8pm, residents of the 227 Bradley Blvd. home spotted smoke near the fireplace, and they called 9-1-1 while evacuating the structure.
First Seven Devils units on the scene found smoke coming from the wall adjacent to the fireplace, and back-up was called from Foscoe. The two departments managed to contain the fire to the wall, with some water damage in that area and smoke damage through the house.

EV8 Sizing Estimator
Does anyone know where I can download the EV8 Sizing Estimator? I've looked all over PartnetNet and IQ and I can't find it :/

Hi Scott,
You will need to ping your Symantec parter rep for the latest copy. I don't think that is something that is published on any site.
The basic info about sizing is in the EV9 Installing and Configuring Guide. However, to use the guidelines you need to know a lot of info about the Exchange datastore. In the past I have used the EV7 Exchange store sizing tool to get that info, and then use that with a manual spreadsheet.
Tony is right though, get your local Symantec rep to help. They should have access to sizing calulators they have used before. And yes, EV8 and EV9 use the same sizing rules.
looks like things got moved around recently...

I wasn't too sure about this but now that I have burned it, I LOVE it!! This would be a good one to have burning on display because the cold throw does not do it justice.

I'm new at candle making and I ordered this fragrance thinking it would be sweeter smelling, but it smelled pretty flowery to me. It was too flowery for my tastes, so I sent it back without using it in anything.

This is one of the best sent for my candle, but just one thing I hope it is going to be phthalate free.

One of my favorites! Great cold and hot throw!!! Smells beautiful and rich! I love burning this candle! Used 4627 Comfort Blend

When I first smelled this out of the bottle I got hit with melon big time, and was kinda disappointed. A day or two after I poured (used 464) still only melon :( after a week of curing the cold throw totally changed, now it smells amazing! Don't be disappointed by the immediate scent. Haven't burned these guys yet so not sure about hot throw, but I would definitely recommend a long cure time.

This is definitely a winner and a must add to any candle line. I agree with some other reviewers- not sure what a Meditteranean Fig smells like, but I love this candle. Has nice woodsy-floral notes with fruity underneath (subtle). A very sophisticated scent- would be great if you were having guests over for dinner. Great for any time of year. I used 1 oz/lb in GB 464.

This scent is a winner in my book for sure! Not sure what Mediterranean Fig smells like but I know this FO smells damn good! It has a slight earthiness to it but not overpowering though, it's a great blend, and the notes really come together well. This scent is very strong too which I really love about it. I used a 4 percent FO load in a 10 ounce candle and the hot throw was nice and strong. Can easily fill a large area. This scent kinda reminds me of Oakmoss and Amber, another great scent, but they are indeed different and both amazing scents. Great job CS!

Very nice fig scent (used soy wax), as others have mentioned. Not too heavy. The cold throw was a bit weak, but the hot throw was fantastic, which surprised me. Definitely a keeper--will buy this again.
Submitted on 2013-09-06 K.Elizabeth
A truely beautiful sophisticated fig fragrance.They really managed to capture the fig in this one. I agree w/the others a "higher end" fragrance like Oakmoss & Amber. This would be a great fragrance category "sophisticated/high end fragrances."

I put this into HP soap and it was perfect with the rustic look. The scent was pretty strong at first but mellowed out as I let the soap age. Really nice earthy scent with a hint of fruit, just a touch though.

War Diary of the Fifth Seaforth Highlanders 51st
(Highland) Division
The 5th Seaforth Highlanders, whose war record is
given in this book, is the territorial Battalion of Caithness and
Sutherland, the two most northerly counties in Scotland.
The battalion was first formed in 1859, early in the
Volunteer movement, by the Duke of Sutherland and took as its badge, the
Sutherland Crest (the Wild Cat), with the proud motto "Sans Peur," while
its tartan was also the Sutherland, of black, navy blue, and green,
similar to that worn by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
At first confined to Sutherlandshire, it later
amalgamated with the Caithness Volunteers and was known as the 1st
Sutherland Highland Rifle Volunteers. It had a double justification for
its badge and tartan, for the 93rd (Sutherland) Highlanders were
recruited in 1801, during the Napoleonic Wars, in the same area, and had
the same badge and tartan, hence the battalion regards itself as the
lineal descendant of that famous unit.
When the Territorial Force was formed, the battalion
had to change its name to the 5th (Sutherland and Caithness) Seaforth
Highlanders, but as a concession to volunteer and county traditions, it
was still allowed to wear the Sutherland Badge and Tartan, and is thus
unique in being differently dressed from all other Seaforth Battalions.
On 5th August 1914 its mobilization, under Col. E. G.
Buik, V.D., took place, the various companies concentrating at Nigg on
the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, whence, after a week spent in
digging trenches for the defence of the Admiralty Forts on the North
Sutor, it proceeded to Inverness. Thence, in a few days, it entrained
for Bedford, which became the training centre for the Highland
Territorial Division, afterwards so well known as the 51st.
For eight months the Division was billeted in this
town, and was treated with the utmost cordiality and kindness by the
townspeople, who did all they could to make their kilted invaders
comfortable and happy.

I GW'd a local CA on 3 paid accounts they have for me. I was very specific in listing the accounts in the GW, it was very clear I was asking for all to be deleted.
2 have been deleted, not the 3rd.
I received a letter from CA saying:
This letter is to confirm ywe investigated your credit-reporting dispute on the above account and have requested it be deleted from your credit report.
Okay #1 - I didn't dispute but whatever. Secondly, the "above account" they are talking about shows 2 account numbers, not 3.
Should I follow up asking about the 3rd or be greatful they did 2 and be quiet?
If I had that I would wait a couple of months before sending a new GW. I probably wouldn't cite the first two.
+1 Let those be removed and make a copy of your CR with those removed. Then after a bit, kindly ask them to delete the 3rd. Good Luck.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I also have 2 accts with a CA that were paid but are still reported on all three credit reports as unpaid. Can you please PM me your GW Ltr.? Thanks so much in advance!!
Thanks, I think I will wait a bit like suggested. Don't want to push them too hard haha. And for all I know they are deleting the 3rd but it hasn't updated yet? This CA has told me they send files to the CRAs twice a month. So waiting is good I believe.

When did you pay them? I've heard it can take 60days sometimes to post to the CRAs. Who is the CA?
I sent another GW fax yesterday to get the remaining acct off my reports.
They just called and left a message to call them. This didn't happen last time. Last time I just got a letter and it was off my record.
Even though I don't OWE them money I'm still nervous to call LOL.
MY QUESTION is this.....when I call them back, if they say "no we cannot delete" do I thank him and hang up. Or do I say "well you deleted the first 2 I asked you to" and risk them reinserting the first 2 CA tradelines?
Bumping in hopes someone this morning has an idea/answer.......hoping to call them back today and see what they have to say...but *I* don't want to say the wrong thing!
01-18-2013 02:22 PM - edited 01-18-2013 02:22 PM
HAve I mentioned I hate waiting? I had to leave a message for the guy yesterday afternoon and haven' heard back yet.
If I can get this off, I will be CA free on 2 CRs!!!

Concessions of a Blue Badge Holder
|Mary has responded to a BBC News Article entitled Blue Badges: More of a hindrance? about the fact that an estimated half of all Blue Badges (disabled parking badges) in London are being used illegitimately and that a stolen Blue Badge can fetch up to £1600 on the black market.
I have a fairly simple if radical solution for this. Blue Badge fraud is pretty easy. Having bought a stolen Badge or else borrowed one from a disabled friend or family member, one can use it usually without question. It is quite rightly considered rude to confront someone over the legitimacy of their badge, as a certain councillor found out when he demanded to see the injured leg of a Badge holder he considered suspect. There is no way of working out the legitimacy of the badge just by looking at the badge, the holder or the vehicle - and I've never heard a good suggestion for doing so which wouldn't compromise either the freedom or the privacy of the holder.
So, the only way I can see of reducing Blue Badge theft and fraud is to make having a Blue Badge less profitable. People are not prepared to pay nearly so much nor bend the law so far for mere convenience as they are prepared to pay and bend the law for something they see as a financial investment.
The Blue Badge exists to enable people with mobility impairments to access places they would not be able to access without those car-parking spaces and privileges (such as being able to park on double-yellow lines). It is not a terribly fair system, disqualifying many disabled people who would really benefit from the scheme because they can stagger just a few yards too far or because their condition fluctuates. It also ignores people with any sort of temporary mobility problem – temporary being defined as under three years. However, access is what it is all about.
Which is why the Blue Badge should not be about making life cheaper for people with mobility impairments. Beyond the obvious advantages of being able to park where others are not allowed to park (if within fairly tight restrictions), there is no reason for this to be the case. Disabled people have choices about the journeys they make and their personal budget just like everyone else. If a congestion charge, other road toll or the cost of parking is fair, then it ought to be the same for everyone. It is not as if people with mobility impairments are somehow getting less out of travelling or carparking, nor is it the case that Blue Badge holders are necessarily strapped for cash. Statistically, of course, we are more likely to have low incomes, but concessions on the grounds of statistical probability would be considered patronising towards almost any other social group.
People with mobility impairments are, of course, far more likely to be dependant on their cars and there are far fewer options (if any) when it comes to public transport. The latter is something which does need to change. However, the main way in which a person qualifies for the badge in the UK is by claiming the higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance, which aims to cover the costs of the claimants' mobility needs regardless of the claimant's employment status or income. We could have a lengthy debate about whether that (currently £43.35 a week) is a pittance or a fortune – how far it stretches depends entirely on the individual's needs and circumstance, but that is the purpose of that benefit.
As it is, the Blue Badge can make life significantly cheaper for the holders because we do get cheaper parking and concessions on road tolls - including a 100% concession on the Central London Congestion Charge. The BBC article suggested that it might save £5000 a year to someone driving into and parking in Central London every day. Although this isn't a realistic measure of the savings made by the vast majority of badge holders, it shouldn't be saving us any money at all.
What would be to our advantage is a situation where the Blue Badge scheme was perceived as being fair and therefore properly respected, so that people did not feel justified in pinching our spaces, abusing the Badge scheme or indeed, smashing the windscreens on our essential vehicles in order to steal a piece of very profitable piece of cardboard.
In other news, if anyone happens in Winchester tomorrow evening, they may wish to go hear my sister singing the high notes of Allegri's Miserare in Winchester Cathedral. I'm sure it will sound very lovely indeed.

Hundreds Gather in Celebration of Nearly 10,000 pounds of Weight Loss
More than 190 people filled the Chateau Bu-Sche in Alsip on March 8th, where Little Company of Mary's Bariatric Surgery Center hosted a celebration to support weight loss. Loud cheers were heard from a distance as more than hundred patients showed off there new and healthy bodies. The Bariatric patients had successfully participated in the comprehensive weight loss program at Little Company of Mary and had each lost an average of 100 pounds or more. Attendees were eager to celebrate their lifelong journey leading healthy lifestyles after undergoing a form of weight loss surgery.
The event featured four patient guest speakers from Little Company of Mary's Bariatric Surgery Center who shared their personal weight loss success stories. Lyndsey Mayfield, Felicia and David Green and George Cavelle filled the room with tears and joy!
Lyndsey, a mother of three beautiful boys weighed more than 230 pounds when she realized that if she kept up with her unhealthy lifestyle, she would not be around to see her children grow-up. "I looked at my three boys one day and began to cry, thinking that I might not be around tomorrow to see them play." Said Lyndsey. Today, Lyndsey weighs 120 pounds; she successfully lost more than 100 pounds and is enjoying her life and children more than ever.
Felicia and David Green combined, lost more than 300 pounds. "We are each others support system. We attend support groups together at Little Company of Mary and we make healthy decisions as a couple." Both Felicia and David expressed their gratitude towards LCM's Bariatric Surgeon, Dr. Gerald A. Cahill, M.D., F.A.C.S. "Dr. Cahill gave us our life back, we couldn't be happier.
Lastly, George Cavelle took the microphone and gave a tearful testimonial about his adult struggles with weight. There wasn't a dry eye in the room to hear Cavelle's speech. "I was asked to get off a roller coaster ride at a local amusement park because I was too overweight to safely ride the roller coaster. "I was embarrassed for my young children, they witness their father walk down the exit ramp." Said George. However despite this embarrassing moment for George, it wasn't enough to make him realize that he needed help. After a couple of disappointing visits with Dr. Cahill, George continued on his destructive path. "Dr. Cahill gave me three weeks to lose 30 pounds and I thought it meant that I had three weeks to over indulge. It wasn't until one day, Dr. Cahill told me to stop wasting his time if I wasn't going to take my health and life serious. The disappointed look on Dr. Cahill's face made me realize that he was right; I do need to take my health serious. That day I committed to the program and I stand here today giving testimonial that I have lost more than 230 pounds, Thank You Dr. Cahill and thanks to the weight loss team at Little Company of Mary. You saved my life." Said George.

Amazing board!

About Me Intermediate
I've demoed pretty much all of Lib's line and even for a short 5' 4" tall guy like me, the 153 version of this deck is my go-to board. I thought the Banana Magic was awesome but that was before this board came along. T.Rice board is too stiff for me.Attack Banana, stable in turns, on landings, through pow, crud and chop. For me, quite damp.I also got to demo the '13/'14 Attack Banana at Baker this season and just as good.
Attack banana 162 wide blemish
By Pete' o
from Orlando, Fl
Wanted to tried a non traditional camber board and very glad I did. I was riding a nitro magnum and wanted an upgrade to some new camber technology with a little more playfulness. This board was very responsive and also very forgiving. I will never ride a traditional camber board again. I am only going to own one board at a time and this board does everything I need. Board is about 1cm less in length than my nitro and was a lot lighter. Great carving and pop. I was worried about the c2 camber being to squirly but that was not the case at all. It was more forgiving and not loose. I thought was a little pricey but I bought a blemish and could not even find an area that looked suspect. 4 out of 5 because of price.
Service and delivery comments:
Great service. I had first ordered an attack banana but when It arrived I realized it was way to soft for me as I am 230 lbs. called up and they sent a shipping label and gave me a refund. I then ordered the attack banana and it was exactly what I wanted. I will be ordering more product again without a doubt.
Great board

Camber takes a little while to get used to. Seems like it wants to stay on edge and is very sensitive just behind the back foot. But the more I ride it the more I love it. From pow through spinning off jumps in the park this board straight kills it.
I would do the same thing over.
By NDShredder
from Fargo, ND
Bought this blemished board with high hopes that it would be in good condition and it was near perfect condition with one pit in it. This board hooks up in the all conditions- hard pack, slush, powder, and fresh groom. I have no complaints about losing an edge at any time with the Magne-Traction. This board has good pop in the park and did well on boxes. Coming from a Burton Bullet this board is a HUGE upgrade. I would buy this board time and time again.

A new study published in the September issue of Health Affairs shows that U.S. physicians are paid far more per service, in some cases twice as much, than their counterparts in other countries.
The research shows that these fees, not practice costs, drive higher healthcare spending on physicians. These findings, the researchers say, could encourage policymakers to target physician fees as a way to reap desired savings in healthcare.
The researchers compared fees paid by public and private insurers for primary care office visits and hip replacements in the United States to those in Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
The researchers found that:
"For decades, policy makers and medical leaders in this country have debated financial incentives to spur more doctors to become primary care physicians," lead author Miriam Laugesen, assistant professor of health policy at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, said in a news release. "Our work shows that continuing attention needs to be paid to the difference in payments across specialties, and how we can get better value for those expenditures."
Laugesen's co-author is Sherry A. Glied, assistant secretary for planning and evaluation at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
U.S. physicians' incomes were well above their counterparts in other countries, the researchers found. Orthopedic surgeons' income ranged from $154,380 to $324,138 in the other countries, while primary care physicians' income ranged from $92,844 to $159,532.
Dr. F. Dean Griffen, president of the Louisiana State Medical Society, said he doesn't think the spendable income that U.S. physicians make is disproportionate to that of doctors in other countries.
The Health Affairs article appears to imply that the United States is wasting a lot of money on physician fees, Griffen said. But only around 20 percent of U.S. healthcare spending goes to physicians, while the remainder goes to other healthcare entities.
"I don't think the reason that healthcare is disproportionately expensive is because of doctors," Griffen said.
The United States' approach to care and the healthcare system differ from other countries, he said, and that allows other nations to further stretch their healthcare dollars.
For example, if a European patient goes to a hospital weakened and deconditioned, he goes home with instructions on how to get back on his feet instead of getting rehabilitative services, home healthcare, physical therapy or three weeks in an extended care facility, Griffen said.
"You go home and your family sucks it up and gets you going, or not, depending on what kind of family you have," Griffen said.
Griffen said he's not sure the study does enough to account for the differences in the business climate for U.S. physicians versus that of their counterparts.
"I don't question the facts that they report. I question the expense of operating a physician's business (here) compared to Switzerland or wherever," Griffen said.
In the United States, as much as 30 percent of a physician's income might go for professional liability insurance, Griffen said. In many countries, there's basically no liability so doctors in those nations have much lower professional liability costs.
An article published in the August issue of Health Affairs says that U.S. physicians spend four times more than Canadian physicians on their interactions with insurers, Griffen said. This is just another example that the cost of doing business in America is higher than in other countries.
A physician in Europe might have zero overall expenses because he or she is working for the state or some other entity, Griffen said. Increasingly, doctors here aren't working for themselves because the cost of doing business is so great.
Before Griffen became a professor of clinical surgery at LSU Health Science Center – Shreveport, he worked at a multi-specialty clinic in Shreveport for 35 years.
The clinic's four-man pediatric group ultimately left for a hospital because overhead costs escalated so much that the doctors were barely breaking even, Griffen said. The pediatricians joined a hospital system, which uses their business to generate revenue from ancillary services, such as laboratory tests.

Jessie Farquhar spins some pizza dough at the new Supreme Pizza on Main Street.
Anyone calling Moulton's Pizza in North Adams got a new message: "Hi, this is Supreme Pizza, formerly Moulton's."
The new salutation — along with new, slimmed-down menu — began earlier this week but the transformation began taking place some two months ago when Antonio's Pizza Group bought out owner Turgut Aydin. Area residents will also be getting the new menu in the mail.
The restaurant is open to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 on Friday and Saturday.
Manager Spencer Leonard said the group was bringing the same sensiblity to North Adams as it has to the original's Amherst — deliver fresh, healthy products in a reasonable time to a college town. Everything that can be made from scratch, will be.
"Our pizza dough is made here, our pitas are made fresh, too, and they take a lot of time to do, and are garlic bread as well, that's a lot of work," he said. The first order was cutting down the unwieldy menu of 263 items by 100 by talking to customers. "We really attacked that."
The result is a menu with more vegetarian options, including gourmet pizzas, and discontinuing some of the Greek and Turkish choices in favor of more Southwestern flavors. The pizzeria is also offering Fuze drinks over soda as more healthy alternative. Soup will still be available as a daily choice, but not clam chowder to start.
In addition to college students, Leonard said the pizzeria will focus on offering healthier fare for the working lunch crowd and specials for the budget conscious.
The delivery area has been whittled down to ensure faster service: All of North Adams, Clarksburg and Williamstown, and limited deliver to Adams with a $10 minimum.
The group has brought in new equipment and the position of expeditor to ensure quality, accuracy and timeliness in orders, and is stressing customer service. It's mostly new staff, including assistant manager Jessica Wells, with a couple holdovers from the previous management.
The name of "Supreme" was settled on after the new management learned there had been other Anthony/Antonios in the area and its working with city on signage. Leonard would also like to see the Main Street side of the building put to better use, such as having meal preparation moved to the front window so passers-by could see the action. That's off in the future but the area, which had been used for storage, has been cleaned out.
Aydin, who operated the pizzeria under the Moulton's banner since fall 2006, said back in January it was time to retire and do some fishing. He stayed on for several weeks as the new management took over.
The building on the corner of Eagle and Main streets, once the location of Rice's Drugstore, is still owned by the Moulton family and was briefly operated by them when the Pizza House closed in that location.
"We've gotten a very positive response," said Leonard.

Vatican has questioned, not silenced, Indian Jesuit theologian
Catholic World News - May 14, 2014
Reacting to reports that the Vatican has censured an Indian theologian, a Jesuit spokesman has told the Catholic News Service that no disciplinary action has been taken.
Father Michael Amaladoss, a Jesuit priest who head the Institute for Dialogue with Cultures and Religions in Chennai, has been in correspondence with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) for months, revealed Father Joe Antony, a Jesuit provincial in India. "There has been no condemnation or censure," he said, however.
In April, when Father Amaladoss cancelled a speaking appearance at Union Theological Seminary in New York, the institution announced that he had been silenced by the Vatican. Father Antony said that was incorrect; Father Amaladoss has chosen voluntarily to observe a period of silence, he said. Another Jesuit provincial in South Asia, Father Edward Mudavassery, confirmed in discussion with the UCANews service that "he has not been barred from writing and teaching."
The key question in discussions between the CDF and Father Amaladoss is evidently the theologian's treatment of the unique role of Jesus in the economy of salvation. In recent years the CDF has cautioned two theologians, the Sri Lankan Tissa Balasuriya and the Belgian Jesuit Jacques Dupuis, on similar grounds. Father Amaladoss was once a student of Father Dupuis, who died in 2004.

Mushkin has multiple NAND Flash storage devices on display at CES, but we haven't looked at the Scorpion PCI Express SSDs, so we will do that now.
Just like the new USB 3.0 flash drives, the Scorpion SSDs use the SandForce SF-2281 controller.
These aren't the first Scorpion SSDs to see the light of day. Mushkin actually did this sort of release before, back at CES 2012.
The drives are better than before though, with PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface bandwidth, versus x4.
They also have capacitors that keep running for a few seconds after power has been cut, thus eliminating, or at least reducing, the possibility of data being lost in case of unexpected power failure.
No capacity or speed details have been provided. " target="_blank">Mushkin may very well decide those details according to interest on the part of server and data center builders.
