Morning People Are Happier Than Night Owls!
A University of Toronto study found that early-risers are healthier too. We've got 8 tips to make you feel better!
-PJ Gach
If you're a night owl who has ever wanted to smack a cheerful morning person (yup, that's me), I have bad news. Those annoying early-risers are also healthier and happier than us night birds. A recent study in the American Psychological Association journal Emotion found that morning people really have it going on.
Read 4 Chic Cocktails for Fashion Week
The study, Happy as a lark: Morning-type younger and older adults are higher in positive affect by Renee Biss and Lynn Hasher of the University of Toronto, studied over 700 adults with various sleep patterns. The findings proved that if you get 8 hours of sleep a night, your health and outlook really can improve. So, how can you reverse your sleep pattern? Can you become as chipper as an early bird?
How to get 8 hours of sleep and reverse your sleep cycle next!

A Carshalton school has been given a double boost after two pieces of good news arrived at once.
Carshalton High School for Girls has not only found out it has been given a good report from schools' inspector Ofsted, but it learned it has been approved for £3m to pay for a new building.
The good news comes as the school celebrates 50 years of being an all-girls school - its golden anniversary.
The grant was secured after the school applied to the Government for funding to build a new wing that will replace temporary classrooms and provide a new dining area.
The Ofsted report, compiled after an inspection earlier this year, has rated the school as 'good' - the second highest rating.
It gave particular praise to the students' attitudes and results.
Headteacher Vivien Jones said: "We were absolutely delighted with the outcome of the Ofsted inspection and then, to receive confirmation that our bid for brand new state of the art classrooms and dining facilities had been successful, was just fantastic.
"This is truly a golden year for us."

RAIN made way for bright sunshine for the thousands of people who watched the dragon boat races in York.
Thirty-six teams battled it out on the Ouse yesterday in fancy dress ranging from sixties fashion, to Alice in Wonderland-inspired costumes, French chic and men in tea dresses.
While the event got off to a damp start, it quickly brightened up, with thousands of people watching the racing throughout the day.
It is expected that the event will raise some £60,000 for charity.
Elly Fiorentini, annual commentator for the dragon boat races, said: "Every year it never ceases to amaze me how much the teams raise and the stories that drive them. Every year people turn up for dragon boat racing and they have the most fantastic time. I think today there is a real feel good factor and there seems to be more people than ever before."
First place went to The Growlers of Ged Bell and Son butchers, second to Shepherd Slayers and third to Copfootierowers of Copmanthorpe FC. York College won the top prize for best dressed as chosen by Lord Mayor Cllr Ian Gillies after making costumes of different characters from Alice in Wonderland.
This year's nominated charity, the Jack Raine Foundation, supports vulnerable children and young people. The charity focuses on early intervention and prevention of child sexual exploitation as well as alternative learning provision and engagement through sport.
Rowers were also able to choose their own charity.
This year's event was headed up by former chief superintendent John Lacy, the new President of the Rotary Club of York, which organises the dragon boat races. Over 12 years, the races have raised £750,000 for charity.

Welcome to Liverpool Public Library
History of Electronics Park DVD Available
Liverpool Public Library announces the availability of a new video history of Electronics Park , the latest release in the library's Liverpool Legends video history series.
The video was made possible with funds from NYSOPRHP (New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation) secured by Senator John DeFrancisco's Heritage Grant Program, administered by the Cultural Resources Council.
Over 60 years ago, in the waning days of World War II, General Electric
announced plans for a new manufacturing facility near Liverpool NY.
Designed for the high-volume production of consumer electronics, the
155 acre site was called "Electronics Park." Today it is known as
Electronics Business Park, a multi-use campus managed by the Syracuse
Metropolitan Development Authority.
How Electronics Park evolved into Electronics Business Park is a fascinating story. It impacted not only the surrounding communities, it changed the lives of literally tens of thousands of employees and their families.
Narrated by Steve Auyer, a long-time GE employee, this DVD illustrates how Walter R.G. Baker developed the area into a new kind of industrial park. Told by the men and women who worked the General Electric assembly lines, designed components, and engineered the many items produced at this site, this video offers a unique look at the rich history of Liverpool. This DVD also contains bonus materials including vintage television and radio commercials, newspaper articles, and advertisements about Electronics Park.
Several copies are available for circulation. Check availability of the DVD in the library's collection.
You may also be interested in GE Heavy Military, the story of the Cold War years at Electronics Park. Check availability.
Should patrons wish to purchase a personal copy of either DVD, they sell for $10 plus tax/ shipping/handling. To view clips from the videos or purchase a copy, please visit http://www.electronicspark.org. The DVDs are also available for purchase at the library.

Acai: Is It Worth the Hype?by Toby Amidor in Food News & Trends, Healthy Tips, August 25, 2009
Before sitting down to write this, I searched "acai" and almost 15 million hits came back — talk about popular! You can't miss the ads all over the internet promoting this "superfood." Claims range from Viagra-like enhancements to weight loss to reducing wrinkles. But does this little wonder fruit really do all that and more?
The California Link
Two California brothers, Ryan and Jeremy Black, "discovered" acai (pronounced "ah-sigh-EE") when they visited Brazil on a surfing trip; the berry was on the menu at many surf shacks and juice joints. After returning to the U.S., they co-founded Sambazon, a beverage company that incorporates the berry in juices, supplements and even sorbet. These days, they rake in $25 million a year selling acai products.
So, What Is It Exactly?
Acai berries are purple, grape-like berries that grow on the palm trees that thrive on forest edges, near rivers and streams. In the Amazon, acai palms cover a land area that's half the size of Switzerland (crazy, right?).
In Brazil, acai is a staple food. Locals typically enjoy the berries as a side to river fish or with toasted yucca. According to estimates, the 1.3 million people residents of Belem, Brazil (a town near the epicenter of acai commercial production) drink more than 200,000 liters of the juice daily.
In the U.S., acai now shows up in lots of forms — juices, powders, frozen pulp, ice cream, jelly, liquor, smoothies and supplements. Head over to your local health food store or walk through Whole Foods, you won't get far without finding an acai product. What you won't find, however, is the fresh fruit. Since it is so perishable, you'll have to go to Brazil to sample that.
Nutrition Facts
A four-ounce serving of pure acai has about 100 calories and 6 grams of fat. Surprisingly, more than 50% of those calories come from fat. Acai contains omega-9 fats, which have anti-inflammatory properties, but aren't one of the essential fatty acids (i.e., omega 6 and omega 3). Acai also has fiber, vitamin A, several minerals (iron and calcium, to name two) and good-for-you phytonutrients, including polysterols and anthocyanins.
What are phytonutrients exactly? Well, polysterols are plant components that research has linked to reducing cholesterol and helping to decrease immune system stress. Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that give the fruit its deep purple color. Acai fruit pulp (what you see above) is high in antioxidants — it has more than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries or blueberries. However, a 2008 study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found that acai juice contained less anthocyanins than red wine and pomegranate juice.
Is It Safe?
All that sounds wonderful, no doubt, but what about too much of a good thing? There's not enough scientific evidence right now to show how much acai is considered safe, especially when you eat it (or take supplements) for a long period of time. Of course, all the ads and product labels out there claim acai brings a whole number of health benefits, including:
- Curing allergies
- Enhancing virility
- Boosting energy
- Improving sleep
- Relieving arthritis
- Weight loss
You name it and someone has probably testified that acai helped cure it, but there aren't really any human studies to prove that any of that acai-specific hype is true. If anything, the berry provides the antioxidant benefits that other similar fruits also offer.
More on the Scams
While the Black brothers brought acai into the U.S. market, Dr. Nicholas Perricone appeared on the Oprah Winfrey and brought acai to the mainstream by dubbing it a "superfood." He believes the antioxidant properties have anti-aging qualities. Since that episode aired, you have probably seen Oprah's face appearing on countless internet ads (I see them every time I log into Facebook). Oprah has posted this message on her site telling the world that she does not endorse these acai products.
There are also hundreds of websites making outrageous claims of weight loss. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) published this article about some acai scams. I also found this site that makes readers aware of internet scams — it lists numerous fake acai websites that you may have come across. Even Consumer Reports tells folks not to believe the hype. If you are unsure of a site or want to see if it's reputable, you can always log onto the Better Business Bureau's website and check for yourself.
The Bottom Line
Acai is a berry that contains tons of antioxidants, but no research supports the specific claim that it will make you a tiger in bed or a skinny minny. Is it better than all other fruits out there? Definitely not. Each fruit or veggie contains its share of special phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals — over-consuming one food is not the answer. You can enjoy acai in a healthy diet mixed with a variety of other fruits and veggies. Buying expensive acai products, however, won't solve your health or weight issues — it'll just slim down your wallet (not to mention perpetuate the "healthy food is too expensive" stigma).

Check this --> http://phun-ky.net/2008/10/fix-for-f...dule-on-ubuntu
Yeah. Sooo I recently installed nvidia drivers on my BT5 KDE and now it gives me an error when I try to type startx. I managed to get the logfile from /var/logs (?) so I'll attach it to this thread. If you need more information, please tell me! I hope someone is willing to help a noob like me...
Here's the log: Xorg.0.log.txt Note that the original file was a .log file, but I had to change the extension to be able to upload it. Also, the file looks better if you open it in Notepad++ or something.
Help will be very appreciated!
Check this --> http://phun-ky.net/2008/10/fix-for-f...dule-on-ubuntu
I had the same problem yesterday after running update.
After reboot, I tried to log in to the new 184.108.40.206 and got the same error.
Rebooted again and going to the previous version 2.36.8 ,startx worked fine.
Fortunately I still had the previously downloaded NVIDIA.run file, so I rebooted again to the 18.104.22.168 and reinstalled the driver.
Now it works fine.

First dashboard iPad mini appears in Tampa just hours after the tablet's launch
0. phoneArena posted on 02 Nov 2012, 10:40
Putting aftermarket stuff in the car dashboard is a favorite American pastime, and the iPad mini got the treatment just hours after its launch today. Soundwaves of Tampa installed Apple's smaller tablet in a 2012 Toyota Corolla immediately to use it as the car's infotainment system...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Well that's probably the best use of an iOS product - a car dash or a kiosk ad.

still better than an Android tablet... Shelves
15. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
You are kidding right? I would love to put a REAL tablet like a Nexus 7 & then we would be rolling in high tech!
21. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
the N7 is a disposible tablet you cannot be serious about being a real tablet... is a budget tablet gets cheaper and cheaper as we speak..
25. Mark.J.Linskiy (unregistered)
People have already put tablets, such as the Nexus 7, into their dashboards. I don't see why it's such "news" when it's done with Mini.

And the best part is a moron did it for his Corolla.

Androids are pieces of S**t compared to Apple. Also What do you drive? Yeah moron, a person like a "user and a driver" are lifeless applications. If you're trying to insult somebody, at least get subject within the noun correctly. Since your post was from 2012, hopefully you're dead by now to make way of doing society a big favor.

I've been itching to do this with a nexus 7 since you guys showed that article a couple months back. Just cant afford it yet.

The picture of this idiot says it all. Typical fanboy.
23. natewood70 (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
You are without question a complete idiot. That's the installer that created the flush mount, and the mechanism to put the tablet in the dash. Get your facts straight.
29. daddysbeenabadgirl (Posts: 157; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
Well it makes three f ags now... the owner, the installer and you. Don't get all butthurt becuase someone is talking about another fanboy, sorry I ruined your circle jerk.
30. natewood70 (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Yup, you're right. Because your original comment says "The picture of this idiot says it all. Typical fanboy." Clearly it shows you're not talking about the guy in the picture.
Talk about someone getting butthurt? Ha! You get called out on a BS statement and get upset like a little B*$%h.
I'm done with this, have fun trying to look tough online, dumb@$$.
10. jmoita2 (Posts: 930; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
Another smart way to make sure you car gets broken into. Plain genius...
12. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
I would love to do a tablet dash, but I would need tablet to be removeable since I wont actually use internet connectivity for it, but just use it for music and whatnot, so it would need to be removeable so that I can load new music and whatnot for it.

well then use apple Maps never never get lost on the moon by the way cuz it aint from this plannet :P

Just buy a double din Android dvd headnuit with a removable android tablet, you get so much more out of it, like maps that actually work, SD card reader, DVD DVB DVR, 3G, WIFI, Bluetooth, you can connect your iCrap player/phone into it and so much more. Here is one of MANY examples.

That thing is mad outdated. 2.3 really? probably no dev. support, cool idea, and about the same price as a custom job. I have a car adio buddy who told be I'd be looking at like 5-600 for a nexus 7 installed with an amp and some control doodad and a bespoke "stock looking" mount.

so can you take a picture installed?hahaha
22. JewBakaUCFG (Posts: 176; Member since: 25 Sep 2012)
So what happens when the iPad has an issue? Is it removable by the owner or do they need to take it to the customs shop that installed it? Or should Apple invest in Apple Auto Centers and start doing this themselves?

Wait so how does it play music through bluetooth or something?

Jamie Lynn Spears: Let the baby pimpin' begin!
Jamie Lynn Spears just squeezed little Maddie Briann out, and already the pimping has begun. Although, everyone knows her mom Lynne sold the photo rights to OK! Magazine the minute she saw the ultrasound. Apparently, OK! likes their baby photos to have that "just out of the uterus" scent. Jamie Lynn also gave an interview for the latest issue that, judging by the responses, was written by at least five publicists and a gaggle of housewives:
On being home in Louisiana:
"Around here, everyone has the same focus. The focus is family, and that's a good way to live."
On the delivery:
"They'd told me it would be an eight- to 12-hour labor, and I was ready to have the baby in three to four hours. I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed."
On life with the new baby:
"We get up in the morning, and she gets her little bath. Then I get my bath. We have a routine, and I love routines. I've worked one out with her, and we're happy going about our little life."
You know what's always a great idea? Glamorizing teenage motherhood. Awesome. First Juno tried to indie me to death and now this. I can almost smell the pregnancy pacts…

3/5/13 by William | Chicago, IL, USA
Yes, I recommend this product.
"Purchased 34+1.5" White from Total Hockey. I was intrigued by the Smith designed product. The quality of manufacture is excellent! Even though this was manufactured overseas, it is made with North American content. The Robo Weave allows for a resistance free slide. They are light and can be used for butterfly and Hybrid. Flexible yet stiff where they need to be. The knee cradle is not the biggest so if you use knee pads you may not be able to use strap. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality pad at a decent price."

Topic: Dear Teddy Bear Dec 6th 2010 3 years have flown by in a blink
Time is growing closer I can see it in his eyes,
Time is growing closer, but we'll have no sad 'goodbyes'.
Memories abound from our precious moments spent,
To God it is, I'm sending, the most "precious" package sent.
These last few months of knowing, we've made a honeymoon,
In my mind a vision of an eternal, glorious afternoon.
Still my charming Prince, who taught me how to love,
And someday we'll be together, in Heaven up above.
I will see him riding stars I will see him in the moon,
And someday you will see us dancing to our favorite tune.
He will touch my face so gently, like he's known to do,
It's not goodbye forever, with memories bad or few.
All our love, my sweet one, is ours to hold so tight,
Until once again together on a mystical, magic night,
We will be united to celebrate our dance around the sun,
And know that our eternity together, has only just begun.

Evolution Hoax
Turkmeneli TV, April 22 - 2008
Adnan Oktar: The most ideal thing to do is to constitute the Turkish-Islamic Union. That means all Islamic countries adopting a single leader, all Turkic countries having a single leader, because their populations are generally Muslim. However, Turkey adopting the role of elder brother in the region will also mean the protection of Armenian interests, an effort being made to enrich them, too, and the protection of Israeli interests, peace in Palestine, bringing peace to the region and maintaining a benevolent watch over the whole area. This is the most urgent task and it is also of great importance with regard to the European Union. It will be a blessing and a joy for the EU to be rid of terror and the fear of terror. The Turkish-Islam Union will do this most efficiently. All suffering and conflict in the Islamic world will come to an end. The Turkic states will take a major step in the direction of civilisation along the European line. Because the Turkic states are potentially very wealthy. The region is a very wealthy one. But they are not well organised. Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan have a huge potential for example. A union of these would represent the greatest union in the world.
Timeturk, July 17 – 2010
Qatari Minister: Turkey is the leader of the region
Qatar Minister of Culture Al Kuwari made a statement and said, " The leadership in the region is Turkey's in my opinion, as well. And Turkey has been officiating this leadership."

PHILADELPHIA - The Ivy League has announced its weekly awards in men's basketball, and University of Pennsylvania freshman guard Tony Hicks has been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week. He becomes the third different Penn freshman to be so honored this season, joining classmates Jamal Lewis and Darien Nelson-Henry.
Hicks was simply outstanding on this weekend's road trip to Cornell and Columbia. On Friday night in Ithaca, N.Y., he scored 29 points - the most by a Penn freshman in a game since March 7, 1992, when current head coach Jerome Allen was playing for the Quakers and dropped 31 on Cornell. Hicks scored Penn's first eight points in the game and 15 of its first 17, and in the second half he had a personal nine-point run that turned a four-point Penn deficit into a five-point lead. The Quakers never trailed again in winning, 79-71.
On Saturday night, Hicks not only led all scorers in Penn's game with Columbia, he scored almost half of the Quakers' point in the game (19 of their 41).
For the season, Hicks is averaging 8.9 points per game (including a team-high 13.8 ppg in Ivy League play).
Junior guard Miles Cartwright was also recognized by the Ivy League office, earning a spot on the honor roll for his performances. Cartwright scored 15 points at Cornell -- including the 1,000th of his career -- and also tied a season/career high with nine assists. The next night, he had nine points and led Penn in assists and steals.
Penn returns to action twice this weekend, hosting Dartmouth and Harvard. The Quakers and Big Green will tip off Friday at 7 p.m.; on Saturday, Penn and Harvard will square off at 6 p.m. in a game that will be televised live to a nationwide audience on the NBC Sports Network.

MARTIN Bradfield and Joe Martin's second division leaders Lacock edged a step closer to the title after claiming a 3-1 win at fellow promotions hopefuls Westwood News, who played their part in what was an entertaining game of football played out in difficult conditions at Westwood's Bobbin Lane base and well refereed by Alan Thompson.
In an evenly-matched first half hour chances came and went for both teams and it was Lacock's Simon Gray who made the important breakthrough on 31 minutes when rode two challenges and coolly slotted home from inside the area to give the visitors the lead which they managed to double before half time when Jake Marshall headed home for 2-0.
The second period saw Westwood work their was back into the contest and on 50 minutes Charlie Powell's glancing header reduced the deficit for the hosts, but is neat finish proved to be just a consolation as Stuart Tutty finally killed Westwood off with Lacock's third of the game.
Westwood did get the ball in the net a second time but Powell's effort was ruled out for offside and Lacock were able to see out time to claim their tenth win of the season and extend their unbeaten run to 12 games.

Dhaka: Deadly riots broke out in Bangladeshi cities on Tuesday after a court sentenced a senior Islamist opposition leader to life in prison for mass murder during the 1971 liberation war against Pakistan.
Abdul Quader Molla, 64, the fourth-highest leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was the first politician to be found guilty by the International Crimes Tribunal, a much-criticised domestic court based in Dhaka.
Molla cried "Allahu Akbar!" (God is greater) and said the charges were false after presiding judge Obaidul Hassan delivered the verdict in a crowded and tightly guarded court.
"He deserved the death sentence because of the gravity of the crimes. But the court gave him life imprisonment," said Attorney General Mahbubey Alam, adding Molla was found guilty of five out of six charges including mass murder.
A man was shot dead in clashes with police in the port city of Chittagong as the ruling sparked immediate protests by Jamaat, the country's largest Islamic party, which enforced a nationwide strike in anticipation of the conviction.
"We fired in self-defence after hundreds of protesters attacked us with firearms and handmade bombs," deputy police commissioner Habibur Rahman told AFP, adding an unidentified man died of bullet wounds and 10 officers were injured.
Police also clashed with protesters in the capital Dhaka, firing rubber bullets to disperse a group of protesters who were smashing vehicles.
And in the northwestern city of Rajshahi police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at about 500 Jamaat supporters who hurled a dozen homemade firebombs.
The verdict is the second by the tribunal. On 21 January a top TV preacher who is an ex-Jamaat official was sentenced to death in absentia for murder and genocide.
Ten other opposition figures—including the entire leadership of Jamaat and two from the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)—stand accused of war crimes.
Both Jamaat and BNP have labelled the cases "show trials" aimed at barring the leaders from upcoming polls. International rights groups have questioned the proceedings.
Prosecutors said during the war Molla was a senior figure in the then-student wing of Jamaat, while studying physics at Dhaka University, and was a member of a pro-Pakistan militia accused of killing hundreds of thousands of people.
"He directly participated in the killing of over 350 unarmed Bengali civilians including a poet and a top journalist," prosecutor Mohammad Ali told AFP, adding he was known as "Butcher of Mirpur", a Dhaka suburb.
"He killed my father and he got away. I am not happy," said Khandoker Abul Ahsan, son of Khandoker Abu Taleb, a well-known journalist killed during the 1971 war.
Security was tight in the capital with more than 10,000 police on patrol as war veterans and ruling party supporters held rival marches.
Schools were closed and many shops and businesses shuttered. Motorways linking Dhaka with other cities were largely empty.
Police said a young banker was burnt to death and four people injured in Dhaka on Monday night after a bus was torched by suspected Jamaat activists protesting the war crime trials.
The tribunal, which has no international oversight, was created by the country's secular government in 2010. The opposition has alleged that it is politically motivated and is selective in its targets.
Defence lawyers said Molla, Jamaat's assistant secretary general, spent the entire time in the nine-month war in his village and alleged that the tribunal severely curtailed their ability to prove his innocence.
"We put forward the name of 965 defence witnesses. But the tribunal allowed only six," said Shazzad Chowdhury, adding that they would appeal the verdict.
Bangladesh, which was called East Pakistan until 1971, has struggled to come to terms with its violent birth.
The current government says up to three million people were killed in the war, but independent estimates put the figure far lower. AFP

Womansong - Goddess chants and songs A classic album of chants and goddess and woman-inspired songs by the Voices of gaia. Womansong has been used in circles, rituals, gatherings and healing women's work all over the world.
Womansong was recorded in live to digital in September 1992. Nineteen woman in all, we created a sacred space, setting up our altar with flowers, crystals in the centre of our large circle. Then we toned and opened our circle and our hearts and mouths to sing as one. By the end of the day we were dancing naked around the room freely vocalising the joy of our creation!!
Womansong captures that unique energy as we expressed our love of life and the goddess through our song.

HEALTH leaders from across the West Midlands are to be given a say into an extensive plans to overhaul the three major hospitals in Worcestershire.
The recommendations of an independent panel into the future of Redditch's Alexandra Hospital, Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Kidderminster Hospital were presented earlier this year, making a number of recommendations for overhauling the three facilities.
Among the recommendations were to centralise emergency care in Worcester and to create a midwife-led maternity unit in Redditch.
Although the majority of those who will be affected by the plans are in Worcestershire, experts have said people in Herefordshire, Warwickshire, Birmingham and Solihull could also be impacted.
As a result, at a meeting of the Worcestershire Health Overview and Scrutiny Board (HOSC) on Tuesday, June 17 heard a joint scrutiny board will be formed with members from all five authorities once the public consultation into the plans is launched late this year.
As the plans mostly impact Worcestershire, chairman of the county's HOSC Councillor Andrew Roberts will chair the group.

The Philadelphia Eagles went from being considered Super Bowl contenders to longshots in a one-week span.
That's why Chip Kelly preaches: "Praise and blame are all the same."
After dominating the Cowboys in a 33-10 win on Thanksgiving, the Eagles had seemingly stamped themselves as one of the elite teams in the NFC. But they followed up with a 24-14 loss at home to the Seahawks that dropped into the second tier behind Green Bay (10-3), Arizona (10-3) and Seattle (9-4).
They're 9-4 and tied with Dallas for first place in the NFC East going into Sunday's rematch against the Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.
Tony Romo kept his notes on Philadelphia after Dallas' blowout loss on Thanksgiving with the NFC East lead on the line.
They will come in handy for the rematch two weeks later with the teams again tied atop the division at 9-4 following the Eagles' loss to Seattle.
The Dallas quarterback said the challenge before last week's 41-28 win over the Bears was not letting his mind drift to the defensive scheme the Eagles used in one of Romo's worst games of the season. Philadelphia won the first meeting 33-10.

Here's the sked. We may add more guests, or change some dates.:
Wednesday, Aug. 25: cwgatti.
Friday, Aug. 27: Fran.
Saturday, Aug. 28: Tim G.
Sunday, Aug. 29: Anthony M.

Forty-eight days left until Opening Night. I don't know of any Ranger who ever wore No. 48. The only Yankee I can think of was Tim Stoddard, and he might not have worn it.
The most noteworthy hockey player I could think of was Scott Young, who wore 48 for a lot of teams.
Hang in there. We're getting to the good numbers soon.

This week's Sunday Night Football game will feature two 7-1 teams, the Houston Texans and the Chicago Bears. Both have played extremely well through the first half of the season, excelling and even dominating in many facets of the game. Attempting to select just one key matchup this week is difficult because there are so many evenly matched battles across the field. Both teams have dynamic defenses that force tons of turnovers and are both at the tops of points scored and points allowed. One could argue that this week's key matchup might not be the overall key to winning (perhaps TO battle is more important), but the most exciting matchup will Texans CB Johnathan Joseph tasked to stopping Bears WR Brandon Marshall.
A year ago, the Bears were on pace for a wild card playoff berth before both QB Jay Cutler and RB Matt Forte went down for the season with injuries. The Bears flamed out and ultimately missed the playoffs. The Bears have had a dominant defense for years, but their knock as always been struggles on offense. That's why this past offseason, the Bears made a trade for Marshall, a dominant wide receiver who has been a bit of a handful off the field during his career. Reuniting Marshall with his former QB Cutler when the two played together in Denver has proved to be genius and has already paid huge dividends. The Bears offense ranks third in points per game while Marshall currently ranks in the top five among NFL wide receivers in catches, yards, and touchdowns. Marshall is proving to be a difference maker for the Bears offense and has helped this team roll to their 7-1 record.
Tasked to shut down (or marginally disrupt) Marshall for the Texans will be Joseph. As the team's top cornerback, Joseph has had an up and down season to date. He's been spectacular at times, while very mediocre at other times. Most notably, Joseph hasn't played well against the better passing teams the Texans have faced, namely the Packers and Broncos.
The toughest part of this matchup for Joseph will be the size differential between he and Marshall. Joseph stands at about 5'11" while Marshall is a whopping 6'4" and 230 pounds. Furthermore, Marshall is excellent in positioning his big body to take full advantage of the size differential while still possessing above average speed.
Shutting down Marshall is essential to marginalizing the Bears offense. In the Bears' seven wins, Marshall is averaging eight catches for 110 yards and one TD per game. In the Bears' lone loss to the Packers, Marshall was held to 2 catches for just 24 yards and failed to find the endzone.
Cutler and Forte can have big games, but the key needs to be stopping Marshall. Joseph will be following Marshall all over the field, but expect Joseph to have plenty of safety help over the top. This, coupled with protecting the ball from an opportunistic Bears defense, will be the key to another Texans victory, this time on the road to improve to 8-1.Tags: Brandon Marshall, Chicago Bears, Football, Houston, Houston Texans, Johnathan Joseph, Key Matchup, NFL

kappy - Thursday, February 10, 2005 - linkThere's one simple thing that I feel was missed. I am always handing off my camera for a potrait, and when I finally see the picture, my head is in the absolute middle of the frame. Above is a huge, boring gap, and I am cut off at the torso. Beginners don't realize that in daily life, their eyes are naturally drawn to faces, and this carries over into putting faces in the center of their photographic compositions. This, to me, is the #1 no-no of portrait photography. Use the Rule of Thirds or something interesting instead. Reply

shuttleboi - Sunday, January 23, 2005 - linkHey AnandTech photo writers: how about fewer articles wasting our time like this one and more tech-related photography articles (tech articles at Anandtech, go figure), like reviewing photo video players like the Epson P-2000?
Jedi2155 - Saturday, January 22, 2005 - linkBut I think its always nice that they occasionally have stuff like this, just ignore the article if you don't like it.
I personally love hte article for something this useful for the noobs like me! Reply
Zak - Friday, January 21, 2005 - linkHonestly, I don't come to Anandtech as much as I used to because of articles like this. Don't get me wrong, great work but that's not why I come to Anandtech for. If I want digital photo and cameras articles or Mac realated stuff I go somewhere else. Then you have the useless reviews of butt agly cases. I think you guys are losing focus. It's just my 2 cents.
Zak Reply
AtaStrumf - Friday, January 21, 2005 - linkJust because I see some people sill dont' get it, DOF is indeed affected by all three variables mentioned above. Just a minor correction. The size of the senzor (film format) itself does not affect DOF, it's the relative focal length that's to blame. e.g. a 4x zoom digital camera specs migth say 35 - 140 mm, but it's actually a 7,2 - 28,8 mm in 35mm film (leica) format terms - conversion factor depends on the difference between CCD sensor size and classic 24x36 mm film size. That explains the huge DOF in digital cameras.
Anyway a nice little article. I especially liked that nifty Photoshop trick. Keep them comming. Reply
kcma - Friday, January 21, 2005 - link#17 try shooting with 400mm lens at f16, and 14mm lens at f2, come back here and say that again ;) better yeh, take a fisheye and see if you can throw anything out of focus.
also, the size of sensor affects depth of field. that's why with medium format/4x5/8x10 camera, it's very easy to blur things out. and for the longest time, it's impossible to throw things out of focus with digital camera.
and last... OH NO!! the secret's out, dont use on camera flash and you're picture won't look HORRIBLE!! i'll be outta job soon... ppl won't need photographers anymore... but seriously... unless you know what you're doing, on camera flash just mess everything up. they are great for filling in shadows in daylight and some other things... but not great as the only source of light. i shoot in blackness and concerts without them. and top of the line SLRs don't have them. Reply
thehorriblejoke - Friday, October 15, 2010 - linkmy name is horrible Reply
shuttleboi - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - link#17: try using a camera more advanced that a point-and-shoot and you will see. Yes, focal length *does* affect DoF. A longer focal length reduces DoF if the aperture and camera-to-subject distance do not change.
skunklet - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - linkDOF is based only on f/stop and how close you are focusing. focal length does not effect it. Reply
apriest - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - link#12, 105-135mm is my favorite range for portraits, unless they are candid shots from a long distance. Reply
Live - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - linkI especially liked the tip about post processing your shots in Photoshop. Since I'm an amateur I don't really know how my pictures will turn out. So more tips on how "bad" photos can be made better would be most welcome. What's the best way to get rid of redeye for example? I mean of course you should by an SLR and use a good flash. But if that's not an option with your compact camera what can be done about it afterwards? Reply
CB1 - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - link#10 is indeed wrong about depth of field. Correct answer given in #12. Reply
headbox - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - linkthanks for the great guide- too bad my daughter won't sit still.... Reply
shuttleboi - Thursday, January 20, 2005 - link#10, you are wrong, depth of field is controlled by three variables: (1) aperture; (2) focal length; and (3) distance between the camera and subject. Fixing any two of those and varying the third will change the DoF. Note that changing 2 and 3 also change the perspective.
Speaking of perspective, one thing the author did not mention is that the ideal focal length for portraits is 85mm. Anything shorter results in bulbous faces (e.g. bigger noses and cheeks). FYI The absolute greatest portrait lens has to be the Canon 135mm f2 L (long focal length, wide max aperture, great glass).
CB1 - Wednesday, January 19, 2005 - linkThe other, and I think more important reason to use your longest focal length on a zoom, or use a short telephoto, is perspective for facial features. If you take a headshot with a "normal" focal length lens, 45 to 50mm for a 35mm camera, noses become unnaturally big (front) or cheeks appear fat (side). A short telephoto puts the viewer at a distance we're used to in real life, a distance where the perpective is natural. Reply
ElFenix - Wednesday, January 19, 2005 - linki think this is the best article series on anandtech in a while. everyone has cameras these days with tons of functions, and no one knows how to use them.
one minor thing though, depth-of-field is solely dependent upon the absolute size of the aperature. so a 200mm lens at f/3 has a smaller depth of field than a 100mm lens at f/2.
woodaddy - use the self timer :) Reply
j23smith - Wednesday, January 19, 2005 - linkAnother tip for people to consider with digital cameras. When doing indoor photography and you want to avoid the harshness from the built-in camera flash, you can reduce the ISO setting and use the flash. It should reduce the harshness of the flash.
i.e. instead of flash indoors at iso400, use flash indoors at iso100 or lower. play around and you will see what i mean. Reply

WooDaddy - Wednesday, January 19, 2005 - linkGreat article. Great pictures.
I would mention using a cable-release for slow shutter speed picture even if you have a tripod so as to prevent from camera shake when releasing the shutter. If a cable-release isn't available, then hold your breath and slowly depress the shutter release button to reduce the camera shake even further. It helps out with newbie photogs. I see you probably didn't need one though. Reply

Staples - Wednesday, January 19, 2005 - linkSome great tips. I know most of these but I forget to look at lighting when I shoot them. The pictures come out fine but later I kick myself for not paying attention to the lighting. My biggest problem is not paying attention. Reviewing the pictures on the tiny LCD does not tell me anything. My Canon camera a lot of times really picks terrible white balance in incandecent light but I can never tell till after I upload.

Williamstown senior Sean Moreland and Grant County senior Tim Livingood will represent their schools at the Leachman Buick Cadillac/KHSAA state golf tournament Oct. 3-5 at the Bowling Green Country Club.
Moreland shot a 77, placing him third overall at the regional meet at Maysville Country Club.
Livingood qualified with a score of 78 and the Grant County Braves golf team placed fourth as a team. Only the top two schools from each region qualify and only three individuals can qualify for the state tournament.
Grant County High School senior soccer player Terry McDaniel doesn't have the height or build of many soccer players, but one thing he has is heart.
The effort he puts out in the games is something that Braves soccer coach David Schmitt would like to transfer to the rest of the team.
"It's really satisfying and I wish I could bottle that energy and fire of Terry and give that to everyone else," he said.
Considered by some of the Williamstown volleyball players to be their primary rival, the Walton-Verona Lady Bearcats spoiled senior night Sept. 22, winning in two sets.
For Williamstown's three seniors, Tiffany Foley, Carlie Fossitt and Sara Strickland, it was a night to remember their playing careers at Williamstown.
Braves senior Brian Chapman had a goal not to finish last in the third annual Dry Ridge Toyota Classic soccer tournament.
The team didn't reach that goal, as they lost both of their matches, 3-2 to Villa Madonna and 3-0 to Dixie Heights, finishing in fourth place out of four teams.
"I was disappointed. I tried to do what I can to help my team," he said. "I do think the fatigue got to us in the second game."
The Grant County High School Lady Braves volleyball team gave their farewells to five seniors, Sept. 15 against Walton-Verona.
Tonya Canafax, Chelsea Cason, Paige Elliott, Hannah Simmons and Michelle Willoughby were honored on the court with their family members before playing the Lady Bearcats.
The Lady Braves lost in three sets to Walton-Verona, but for the first time this season, they forced the Lady Bearcats to three games.
After some tough competition the past couple of weeks and seeing their record go from 5-0-0 to 5-2-1, the Lady Braves finished second in the third annual Dry Ridge Toyota Classic Sept. 17 at Grant County Middle School.
"Being a first time coach, my expectations were that we play to our level and play well as a team. My hope was to make a good run at being tournament champions," Lady Braves coach Sarah Boone said.
In the first game, the Lady Braves defeated Carroll County 4-1, to secure a spot in the championship game against Bishop Brossart.
As the homecoming festivities began on Sept. 15 with the parade from the Dry Ridge Outlet mall to Grant County High School, the big game was still another day away.
The Braves didn't disappoint as they scored 45 points in a 30-point win over Greenup County Sept. 16.
Unlike in 2010, when the cross country teams ran in pouring rain, the sky was blue and the sun was shining down on Sherman Elementary for the 38th annual Grant County Invitational Sept. 10.
"I do better in heat so it helped me out a lot," Braves senior Tyler Edmondson said.
Edmondson ran a personal best 17:17 in route to a 19th place finish individually.
"Out of 200 runners, to finish in the top 20, it felt really good to get a medal," he said. "I set a personal record by about nine seconds."
The Grant County soccer teams will be getting ready for the Dry Ridge Toyota Classic Sept. 17 at Grant County Middle School.
But, for both the Lady Braves and Braves, the past week has seen some struggles.
On Sept. 9, the girls traveled to Covington to face Calvary Christian and for the first time this season, the Lady Braves left a game without a win.
Now that the Braves have a win under the belt, their coach David Arvin said the team will be preparing to learn how to win more games as they get ready for their homecoming game against Greenup County at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16.
"These guys were so excited and to get that first win, you had to be proud for the work they have put in to get that win and with that win other things will snowball in for us and we can get some more wins," he said. "Hopefully we took the first step to learning how to win more games."

Zoller's RoboSet features a six-axis articulated arm robot equipped with a force-moment strain gage and two pneumatic parallel grippers. The system enables fully automatic unattended measurement of tools. According to the company, the physical separation of the robotic arm and measuring device ensures accuracy.
The robot can load shafted tools onto the company's CNC-controlled measuring devices with automatic power clamping. Specific loading configurations and parameters are defined using a pallet management function incorporated into the Pilot 3.0 software, and customized pallets can be set up based on quality control requirements.
After the measuring process, the robotic arm removes the tool from the presetter and measuring machine and deposits it in different pallets. According to the company, the system automatically detects defective or out-of-tolerance tools. Measuring values are stored in the Pilot 3.0 software where they can be reviewed or printed. An optional laser-writing device can be installed to label the tools.

A shocked witness has told how he rushed to the aid of a cyclist with severe head injuries.
Paul Cooper said he heard a loud bang as he ate his supper last night and found a man lying unconscious in the road outside his home.
The accident happened at 8.15pm in Forest View Road, Bournemouth and the 24-year-old victim is now being treated in hospital.
This morning, a spokesperson for Dorset Police said the man had two fractures to his skull.
Mr Cooper told the Daily Echo: "I ran to the window and I could see the wheel of a bike. When I went outside the man was unconscious and there was a lot of blood coming from his mouth and his nose.
"He had severe injuries to his face and I was concerned about his breathing. I called the emergency services and two police cars and two paramedics arrived quite quickly."
Mr Cooper said the man regained consciousness and he believes he was airlifted to Southampton Hospital. He was not wearing a cycle helmet.
This morning there are blood stains on the road, near its junction with Moorvale Road, and the remains of bottles of beer, believed to have been dropped by the cyclist.
Mr Cooper said many of his neighbours also came out of their homes to help. The bike is believed to be a Diamondback mountain bike.
The police helicopter were initially called around 9pm last night but were cancelled en route.
Police have appealed for any witnesses to the incident to call 101 with any information.

Life can get busy – with work, school, children, play dates and meetings, it can be difficult to find a time to sit down and get a nebulizer treatment. This is where portable nebulizer systems come in handy! They're small, lightweight and most come with its own case for easy transport.
These portable nebulizers are all battery operated, and some come with both home and car powering adapters for your convenience. Here are a few features you may consider before choosing a portable nebulizer for your respiratory needs:
PSI, which stands for pounds per square inch, is the amount of pressure the compressor system exudes. Higher pressure breaks up the medication into a smaller particle size. If there is too much pressure, it will affect the flow of the medication being dispensed.
If the particle is too small (.5 microns to 5 microns is the most efficient), the patient will exhale the medication right back out. If the particle size is too large, the medication may be swallowed instead of inhaled.
Some nebulizer compressors are not recommended or compatible with specific medications. For example, TOBI, or Tobramycin, works best with the DEV5650 Pulmo-Aide nebulizer system with the PARI neb kit.
Consult your doctor, manufacturer or Just Nebulizers to make sure your medication works with the compressor you want.
Treatment times depend on the type of compressor, medication and nebulizer kit used. The Pari Trek S compressor machine has an average treatment time of only 5 minutes when used with the LC Sprint neb kit!
Portable nebulizers are very lightweight so it can be easily carried from place to place. Some models will fit in your hand, while others are larger in size. Choose a nebulizer machine that's more convenient for your daily needs.
Ultrasonic nebulizers are the quietest type of nebulizers. The top three nebulizers we carry that make the least noise include the Omron Micro-Air, Mabis NebPak and Pari Trek S.
You want to choose a compressor that will last a long time. Some machines use regular batteries and others can be plugged into an outlet. Find replacement batteries and adapters here.
An easy way to transport your portable nebulizer is by using a nebulizer case or bag. This will ensure that all your parts are safely contained in one place for hassle-free transport. Other accessories you may need include a nebulizer mask, tubing, and batteries. Don't forget to pack extra nebulizer filters.
If you still need help choosing a portable nebulizer, please call us at 1-888-550-2450 Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A portable nebulizer provides a convenient way to receive your respiratory treatments on the go. All of the following portable nebulizers are battery operated nebulizer machines. Most portable units use a special battery designed to fit that specific model. Some of these portable nebulizer machines include a rechargeable battery with the basic model, offering you more flexibility. The Omron Micro Air nebulizer, however, is a very small, portable unit that operates on two AA batteries - making this Omron ultrasonic nebulizer very attractive because replacing the batteries is simple.

Fly Fish Texas Coming to Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center March 8
ATHENS, Texas — Fly Fish Texas is a family reunion, fly fishing school, tackle show and fishing trip all rolled into one.
The annual event takes place this year March 8 at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. Show hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All Fly Fish Texas activities are free with regular paid admission to the center.
Since 2000, Fly Fish Texas has introduced thousands of people to fly fishing, many of whom shared two common misconceptions: one, that Texas is not a fly fishing state, and two, that they could not learn to fly fish.
Neither notion could be further from the truth, say the seasoned fly anglers who volunteer each year to teach everything from knot-tying to two-handed casting.
"I've seen this happen a lot at Fly Fish Texas," said casting instructor Steve Hollensed. "People take a casting lesson for the first time and start forming a loop, and you can almost see the light come on in their heads. They suddenly realize they can cast a fly, they can fly fish, and they are smiling really big. That's the best thing I can think of, and that's why I feel good about Fly Fish Texas."
"Fly Fish Texas is a great show and the only event of its kind," said Walter McClendon of Dallas, who has organized the show since its beginning. "Other shows cater to people who are already fly fishers, but we try to introduce fly fishing to the public, and we think that is better."
"We take people from 'This is a fly' to 'This is a fish-you've caught one,'" explained Allen Crise, who co-chairs the casting lessons. "What amazes me is it all comes together with volunteers, instructors who know every kind of fishing in Texas, from Lake Texoma to the coast."
Fly Fish Texas focuses on helping people master the set of skills required for fly fishing. Instructors hold classes throughout the day on everything from fly-casting to fly-tying to knot tying. This is a hands-on event, and visitors are encouraged to participate. True beginners can join one of the casting classes where rods and reels are provided. Classes are offered on particular casting problems, how to set up tackle, fly selection and more. Seminars give information on subjects ranging from how to fish specific bodies of water to tips and techniques for fishing for different species. Skilled fly-tiers make flies all day long. Anyone wanting to learn how can give it a try themselves or simply watch.
One of the things that makes Fly Fish Texas so popular with beginners and experts alike is that the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center has several ponds and streams stocked with rainbow trout, largemouth bass, sunfish and channel catfish, and you can tie a fly, walk 50 steps and catch a fish with it.

Water is essential to good health, yet needs vary by individual. These guidelines can help ensure you drink enough fluids.
How much water should you drink each day? It's a simple question with no easy answers. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live.
Although no single formula fits everyone, knowing more about your body's need for fluids will help you estimate how much water to drink each day.
Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells, and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.
Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.
So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day.
Everyone has heard the advice, "Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day." That's about 1.9 liters, which isn't that different from the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Although the "8 by 8" rule isn't supported by hard evidence, it remains popular because it's easy to remember. Just keep in mind that the rule should be reframed as: "Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day," because all fluids count toward the daily total.
You may need to modify your total fluid intake depending on how active you are, the climate you live in, your health status, and if you're pregnant or breast-feeding.
You don't need to rely only on what you drink to meet your fluid needs. What you eat also provides a significant portion of your fluid needs. On average, food provides about 20 percent of total water intake. For example, many fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon and spinach, are 90 percent or more water by weight.
In addition, beverages such as milk and juice are composed mostly of water. Even beer, wine and caffeinated beverages — such as coffee, tea or soda — can contribute, but these should not be a major portion of your daily total fluid intake. Water is still your best bet because it's calorie-free, inexpensive and readily available.
Generally, if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and your urine is colorless or light yellow — and measures about 6.3 cups (1.5 liters) or more a day if you were to keep track — your fluid intake is probably adequate. If you're concerned about your fluid intake or have health issues, check with your doctor or a registered dietitian. He or she can help you determine the amount of water that's right for you.
To ward off dehydration and make sure your body has the fluids it needs, make water your beverage of choice. It's also a good idea to:
Although uncommon, it is possible to drink too much water. When your kidneys are unable to excrete the excess water, the electrolyte (mineral) content of the blood is diluted, resulting in low sodium levels in the blood, a condition called hyponatremia. Endurance athletes, such as marathon runners who drink large amounts of water, are at higher risk of hyponatremia. In general, though, drinking too much water is rare in healthy adults who eat an average American diet.

The temperature tomorrow in Tel Aviv will be 75 degrees. Keep this in mind for later - it becomes important.
On Monday night I played at a fundraiser for ImprovBoston. When I say "played," I mean it - it was a tremendously fun reunion of my mighty two-man sketch dynamo "The Irwin Smalls Trio," and the whole night was terrific.
Except for this one moment. Some comedian - and I'm 98% sure it was the great Tony V - said "Happy Holidays" to the crowd. And one guy, out in the audience off towards stage right… booed. That's right, a guy booed "Happy Holidays." Swear to god.
Most of the crowd was perplexed. Even among East Coast, hyper-informed Boston comedy fans, there are not all that many people who live inside the bubble of the Hatfield-McCoy Appalachia that is cable news. In fact, if the reason for the booing was readily apparent to you, be warned - you're inside that bubble.
Tony handled it beautifully, and used the moment to segue into a great riff about Christmas. I'd be willing to bet that he'd run up against it before.
"It" is the new, virulent anger against the idea of saying "Happy Holidays" - which is to some people as horrifying and awful as some commie trying to sneak a "Season's Greetings" by you - which is in turn as bad as a hearty, happy "Fuck Jesus!" apparently. It's a sign that you hate Christmas and Christianity and the Constitution and the principles that our nation was founded upon. It's a sign that you hate America, just like the President of the United States. Continue reading this entry »

Could you loan me ten dollars but just give me five? That way you'll owe me five, I'll owe you five, and we'll be even.
That old joke reminds Concord Chief Economist Diane Lim Rogers of a current policy issue: Whether to extend the Bush tax cuts. President Obama seeks an extension of the cuts for the middle class. But he does not want to extend the cuts for upper-bracket taxpayers, a stance that the administration describes as around $700 billion in deficit reduction over 10 years.
In a new blog post, Rogers challenges that terminology. Relative to current law, she says, the president's plan for upper-bracket taxes would not reduce the deficit at all. Meanwhile, Congressional Budget Office figures show that extending the other parts of the Bush tax cuts would increase the deficit by $2 trillion over 10 years.
To bring federal deficits down to sustainable levels, Rogers argues, we need to pay for things as we go along. That includes paying for the extension of any policies that aren't already continued under current law.

New York -- Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren had a pay package worth $11.3 million in 2012, down 22% from 2011, the Associated Press reported.
Lundgren had a salary of $1.6 million stock and options awards worth $7.7 million, and perks worth about $76,000. The decline came from a 63% smaller cash payment for performance, the report said.
Macy's said the CEO beat the profit expectations for the year but fell short on cash flow, due to a big merchandise purchase at the end of the fiscal year.
The AP's calculation counts salary, bonuses, perks and stock and options awarded to the executive during the year.

The Anna-Wintour-for-ambassador rumours that have surrounded the US Vogue editor in chief ever since she became a "super-bundler" for Barack Obama have picked up steam lately: on Monday, even erstwhile presidential non-contender Donald Trump offered his two cents on the matter ("I think she'd be an amazing choice"). But c'mon guys: let's think about this realistically for the moment.

The government has set great store by its £5bn plan to get people who have been unemployed for a long time back into work. David Cameron has called it "the biggest and boldest programme since the great depression".
Expensive though the scheme sounds, it is actually much cheaper than its predecessor, Labour's Future Jobs Fund. The problem is, it isn't working.
Figures out today show the programme has improved since last year, when providers were way off hitting their minimum performance targets – but not enough. Read more

About a dozen Dairy Farmers producers met with opposition spokesman for Agriculture and Food Security John Cobb, Member for Gilmore Joanna Gash and Liberal candidate for Gilmore Ann Sudmalis on Thursday, concerned about the 12cents/litre price Lion Dairy and Drinks was now paying for their surplus tier-two milk.
Jamberoo dairy farmer Stephen Downes said after deregulation, farmers had been encouraged to increase their production and grow their businesses. However, he said Lion no longer needed everything they produced after it lost the Woolworths unbranded milk contract.
"Then they say, 'sorry we stuffed up, we've lost all our contracts, how about we ... give you 12 cents for it?"' he said.
"You're talking a two or three-year plan - bringing cows in, getting them in calf and then they go, 'we got that wrong, we're backdating your contract, slashing your price, thanks for coming'."
Tier-one milk, the milk processed as fresh drinking milk, is currently returning about 45 cents a litre to the farmer. However, Lion is set to take nine per cent less from farmers.
As a result, more milk will fall into tier two, which is onsold to become yoghurt or cheese.
Jamberoo dairy farmer Mark Honey said farmers were concerned consumers would not be able to buy fresh milk in 10 years' time.
Mrs Gash said she was prepared to speak on the issue under parliamentary privilege, while Ms Sudmalis urged consumers to buy branded milk to ensure farmers' survival and stop future cost blow-outs to $4-5 a litre.

The Pacers' trainwreck is quickly coming to an end and the third year of Bird's self-professed three-year plan is almost over. How do you feel about the franchise's progression in those three years? Is it okay that the Pacers are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the third year in a row and effectively situated in fringe lottery limbo? Or should we be expecting more by now?
Honest question. I see some folks on here defending the record and play as a result of the youth movement...but hasn't that youth movement been going on for a while now? And isn't the idea of a three-year plan that the Pacers would fare substantially better in the third year of that plan than the second and first?
