No Inductees for Baseball's Hall of Fame
Ah, baseball – it is said it's America's favorite past time. However, this year, there will be no joy in Mudville because for only the second time since 1971, no former Major League Baseball players were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's not because the ballot wasn't full of talent. No, quite the contrary. Among this year's nominees were Barry Bonds, the all-time leader in career home runs (with 762). Roger Clemens, an 11-time All-Star, two-time World Series winner, and 7-time Cy Young Award winner, was also on the ballot. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were there too. … Continue reading

There are two videos about 2 works
Take notes on what you're watching and write very specifically to document the performance you've seen in a detailed, focused manner. Your goal: briefly and accurately describe 2 works, give your opinion of the dance works being specific with examples such as the use of music, lighting, choreography, dancers' technique. The idea is to watch dance with a sharp mind. Read reviews online or in the newspapers to see how they are written. This should be done according to the following:
The paper must be:
Time New Roman 12 font
1 inch margins
Black ink only
No clip art
Stapled on the upper left hand corner with a metal staple
College level, make sure to use spell check
Submitted at the beginning of class
Absolutely no late papers accepted, no exceptions
If you did not submit your attendance card at the theater along with photo ID you will receive an "F" grade on the paper
1. The opening paragraph should name the performance, the date you saw it and the name of the theater. It should give a brief overview of the performance such as "The Broad Stage was large and clean with many people there nicely dressed" or "there were twelve dance works presented each about different feeling and unrelated to each other".
2. Please give a detailed overview of the performance, and mention whether the dance was considered traditional, contemporary or described in another way (example, a combination of modern dance and hip-hop). Make the event come alive for someone who didn't see it; avoid writing a detailed laundry list of every dance in the program. You can also briefly write on the theater and audience members.
3. Discuss memorable aspects of the performance or your least favorite, if applicable. Please identify two or three dance pieces by title, and choreographer (you will find this info in the printed program) . Concentrate on what most appealed to you and dispense with the negative swiftly, unless you didn't like the work at all. It's okay to not like something as long as you can defend your viewpoint. Example: The dance began with a promising concept, but the choreographer failed to deliver - then proceed to explain how and why.
4. Try to avoid the first and second person and watch tenses. Do not use the words," interesting", "amazing," "boring," "I don't know because I have never seen a dance performance before" "really" or "pleasing to the eye." Do not keep referring to the audience; write about how you felt about what you saw. The name of the piece should
either be in italics or double quotes. Describe but do not dwell on the lighting or costumes. After you name the dancer, choreographer or composer refer to that person by last name only. Vary the use of verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
5. Ask yourself the following: Was the choreography imaginative? Did it communicate? Were there vague points to the story or theme? Also name the musical composer and costume designer and how they all may have contributed towards creating this work of art. You may cite specific dancers by name.
6. How did the dance you observed relate to what you have learned about dance in this course?
7. Additional comments followed by conclusion or brief summary paragraph stating why the performance worked or didn't work for you.
ô€€€Make sure to use spell check
ô€€€ Use the correct tense. If you are writing about a performance you saw last Saturday evening make sure (you use past tense "it was a dramatic dance work" "I liked how they showed their feelings"
ô€€€ Write about the dance performance not the play, and the dance works or dance pieces not the skits or routines. Make sure to proof read your work.
ô€€€ an opening paragraph
ô€€€ the body of the paper
ô€€€ Write the name of the piece, the choreographer and the composer when referring to a dance work
ô€€€ a closing paragraph.
ô€€€ each paragraph must have at least five sentences

Power from peaches: Hardworking McLean brothers apply home work ethic to football
Their teammates and coaches like to tease brothers Zach and Luke McLean.
Even Palisade High School football coach John Arledge takes playful shots at them.
Zach, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound senior linebacker, is known as "Skinny" McLean. Luke, a 6-foot, 175-pound sophomore quarterback, is nicknamed "Fat" McLean.
"(Luke) got his because he's like a fullback playing quarterback," Zach said.
"(Zach) is one of our skinnier big guys," Luke said. "He's a lot stronger than pretty much everyone on the team, one of the strongest. That helps a lot because he doesn't have that big size."
Despite the good-natured ribbing, the boys are respected and admired for their leadership in yet another successful season for the Bulldogs (8-1).
"They are wonderful brothers," Arledge said. "They are typical farm kids from Palisade. They are quiet. Their dad is a great guy. Their mom is a wonderful lady. They always work hard. They have a good life, but they were taught responsibility. They are great students."
The McLean brothers developed their hard-working, responsible work ethic growing up helping in the family's peach orchards.
"It definitely teaches you some toughness," Zach McLean said. "Having to work in the sun when it's 110 degrees out, you've got to do it either way, if it's hot or it's not."
"It teaches you to do stuff even if you don't want to," Luke said. "It teaches you a good work ethic that you've got to finish things. If you start something you should finish it. You do it right the first time so you don't have to go back and do it again."
They have taken those lessons and applied them to football, and are enjoying their last season playing football together.
"It's a pretty neat thing," Zach said. "I'm lucky I get to play with him. Not everybody gets a chance to play with their brother."
Zach has made 34 tackles and recorded two sacks this season. Luke has rushed for 803 yards and 14 touchdowns (89.22 per game) and completed 42 of 77 passes for 764 yards and seven touchdowns.
Zach gives his younger brother a little bit of grief for playing quarterback, but not too much.
"It doesn't get in his head too much, but people definitely like him," Zach said. "He's definitely a good kid and everyone likes being around him.
"He gets a hard time (for playing QB), but he gets his share of yelling at, too. We all do."
The rest of their brothers and coaches on the football field take care of that.
"I think our linemen are actually faster than the quarterback," Arledge said. "If we were built on speed, Luke would not be the quarterback.
"We ask him why it takes him so long to throw the ball. He says he's built for cold weather."
Zach isn't exactly built to play on the defensive front, but has the mentality for the position.
"I've gone against some big kids," Zach said. "We work hard in the weight room. It's just being stronger than your opponent and staying lower."
"We have Zach at linebacker, but he plays D-line too," Arledge said. "He's tough, real physical. He has good feet. He plays a lot bigger than what he is. He's a typical high school kid, but he's physical for his size."

Betting Big On a Buyout In London
By HEATHER TIMMONS and JENNY ANDERSON
Published: November 23, 2006
Is the London Stock Exchange really worth $5 billion? Or even $6 billion?
A number of investors, particularly hedge funds, are now piling into the shares of the London exchange on expectations that Nasdaq's pursuit of the exchange will lead to a rich buyout.
Some see a takeover price of 1,500 pence a share -- nearly four times the London exchange's trading price two years ago, and 20 percent higher than Nasdaq's offer of $5.1 billion, or 1,243 pence a share -- which Nasdaq called a final offer for the 71 percent that it does not own. The offer was announced on Monday.
There is other hedge fund money, however, that is shorting shares of the London exchange, in essence betting on the opposite outcome: that there will be a meltdown in negotiations, resulting in no deal at all, and a sharp drop in the stock price of the London exchange.
The bulls -- and the belief that the London exchange will be acquired at a higher price -- are gaining ascendancy after Samuel J. Heyman, the 1980s corporate raider best known for his $5 billion takeover of the chemical giant GAF, said that his investment companies -- Heyman Investment Associates and Vesper Holdings -- had amassed an 8.8 percent stake in the London exchange. They did so by paying as much as 1,290 pence a share for the stock, according to a filing on Tuesday.
Mr. Heyman's funds built their position in the London exchange through derivative contracts, according to the filing. Traders often use derivatives to build a position in a stock in an effort to avoid driving up the price sharply, which happens when there is buying in the market. They might also use derivatives to avoid filing requirements. (In some countries like the United States, ownership of 5 percent of a stock requires a federal filing.) Traders might also be trying to leverage their positions, using the derivatives to amplify any upside performance.
Mr. Heyman's tenacity is legendary -- his wife told The New York Times in 1985 that he courted her by relentlessly calling until she agreed to break off her engagement to someone else. The London Stock Exchange, perhaps hoping to avoid what Mrs. Heyman went through, was quick to reach out.
Clara Furse, the London Stock Exchange's chief executive, has gone months without talking to her suitors at Nasdaq, but by Wednesday afternoon the exchange had contacted Mr. Heyman's office.
The hedge funds Citadel Investment and Cheyne Capital Management acquired more London Stock Exchange shares on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A third or more of the shares of the London Stock Exchange are now estimated to be in the hands of hedge funds and short-term investors that are hoping to ride the buyout to a big payout.
Gleeful longtime investors, who are watching their paper profits pile up, have an easy answer to questions about the London Stock Exchange's value: ''It's worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for it,'' said Richard Grossman, director of Redmayne Bentley Stockbrokers in London.
In some sense, analysts say, that is true. The London exchange and the access it brings to British investors and international companies cannot be replicated by any other exchange on the market, so it can command as high a price as it wants, as long as Nasdaq can pay it.
Nasdaq's tender offer of 1,243 pence is about 20.1 times the estimated 2007 earnings per share of the London Stock Exchange. By way of comparison, Euronext, which is expected to merge with the NYSE Group, trades at about 26 times 2007 earnings and the average of all European exchanges is about 19.6 times 2007 earnings.
On Wednesday, shares of the London exchange rose 1 percent, to 1,314 pence.
Long-term investors concede that the recent interest from hedge funds is sure to drive the buyout price up higher than they ever could.
''They've got more muscle and they'll sit there, and they won't sell until they get the price they think they deserve,'' Mr. Grossman said. Nasdaq cannot raise its offer unless there is a competing offer from another company, or the board of the London exchange agrees to a deal -- which means hedge funds are sure to be pressuring London exchange executives to start negotiating with Nasdaq.
Some analysts see room for a higher bid, even though Nasdaq insists 1,243 pence is a final offer.
''We believe they could pay materially more if they need to, and still be accretive,'' said Richard H. Repetto, an analyst with Sandler O'Neill & Partners.
The pressure is on for Nasdaq, too. After Nasdaq initiates its formal offer, expected next week, there is a 60-day window for it to amass a majority of the stock, or Nasdaq will need to abandon its bid and cannot return for a year. A new price will start the clock again.
Whether Nasdaq can afford what hedge funds think they deserve may be the deciding factor. Its current bid will leave Nasdaq with a debt level that is eight times its earnings before interest, taxes and special items. By comparison, its archrival, the New York Stock Exchange, currently has no debt.
''We certainly understand the logic of the deal, but it's a very high level of leverage'' even if Nasdaq doesn't raise its offer, said Peter Nerby, a Moody's Investors Service senior vice president. Moody's has put Nasdaq on ratings watch for a possible downgrade. Nasdaq is already one of the lowest-rated exchanges. at Ba3, which is speculative, or junk.
Many analysts say that Nasdaq has few options.
Scott Appleby, an equity analyst with Deutsche Bank, said: "Are they in danger of seeing further downgrades of their debt? Probably. Is this asset a strategic imperative? Yes, it is. In the end, it would prove to be a great cash-flow-generating transaction and they will be more than able to cover any interest costs. In short order their debt ratings will improve.''
Mr. Heyman's association may help to urge the London Stock Exchange to come to the negotiating table, but it is not all upside for Nasdaq. It almost certainly means that Nasdaq will have to dig even deeper into its pockets to close the deal.
People who have been involved in deals with Mr. Heyman say he has helped put pressure on recalcitrant management who are refusing to consider a buyout, but that he also makes a lot of demands of the buyer at the finish line.
Despite all the pressure to talk, advisers for both Nasdaq and the London exchange said Wednesday that relations between Nasdaq and London still had not warmed at all from their usual frosty state.
''We've heard nothing other than their request for a meeting at five minutes to seven on Monday morning,'' said John Wallace, a spokesman for the London exchange.
During a Monday conference call about the most recent bid, one analyst asked Nasdaq's chief executive, Robert Greifeld: ''Have there been any productive conversations with Ms. Furse or anyone else'' about a deal?
Mr. Greifeld's response was short and to the point.
''Uh, no,'' he said.

Ukraine Offensive Meets Staunch Resistance
The Ukrainian army launched its first major assault on a separatist stronghold in the country's east on Friday, meeting strong resistance from rebels as it attacked Sloviansk at dawn. Two helicopters were shot down and two crew members killed, the Defense Ministry said (WaPo). A spokesman for Russian president Vladimir Putin said the offensive negated the Geneva agreement to de-escalate the conflict (FT), while Ukrainian security services said the presence of heavy weaponry undermined the rebels' claims that they did not have foreign backing. In Washington, German chancellor Angela Merkel will meet U.S. president Barack Obama at the White House (Deutsche Welle) for talks on a coordinated response to the crisis in Ukraine, among other issues. But with stiff resistance to heightened sanctions from her domestic business lobby, Merkel is unlikely to support the expanded, sector-wide sanctions the White House advocates if the situation escalates (WSJ).
"Oleksandr Turchynov, Ukraine's acting president, may rail against police treachery but he has admitted that the security forces are 'helpless' in the east. It is not hard to fathom why. The police are paid little, unlike in Russia. Many were sent to Kiev during anti-government protests last winter and told they were fighting 'fascists.' Now these people are nominally their masters. The Russian media, widely watched and read in the east, plays up the activities of small far-right groups in Kiev and elsewhere. Many policemen openly sympathise with the anti-Kiev protesters," writes the Economist.
"Until now, Germany has shown little willingness to stand more firmly against President Putin, beyond sharp rhetoric. But as the crisis becomes harder to control, Germany may be forced into a tougher tone with Russia, and may shed its ambivalence about taking a more assertive role in the conflict. The [OSCE] hostage-taking 'gives a sense of immediacy. For first time, German citizens are directly concerned,' says Roland Freudenstein, deputy director of the Wilfried Martens Center for European Studies in Brussels. He adds that it also raises questions about the limits of soft power in this conflict," writes Sara Miller Llana in the Christian Science Monitor.
"In the face of this assertive Russia, nothing would be more dangerous than American weakness. So when President Obama, in response to a recent question about whether his declaration that the United States would protect the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea risked drawing another 'red line,' gave an evasive answer including the hypothesis that America might not want to 'engage militarily,' he did something profoundly dangerous. In Asia, as in the Baltic, the Article 5 commitment to a joint military response to any attack on an ally is critical. The U.S. treaties must be words of truth that sound 'like a pistol shot,' or violent mayhem could spread well beyond East Ukraine," writes Roger Cohen in the New York Times.
Report on Missing Flight Highlights Communications Gaps
Malaysia on Thursday released a preliminary report on the missing Malaysian Airlines flight nearly two months after its disappearance. The release comes ahead of a meeting this month of the International Civil Aviation Organization, a UN regulatory body, which is expected to field calls for better tracking of commercial flights (Reuters).
NORTH KOREA: Kim Jong-un replaced the military's top political officer in a leadership shuffle thought to consolidate his power, as South Korea says Pyongyang is preparing to conduct a fourth nuclear test (Bloomberg).
Militant Attacks in Northeast India Leave Ten Dead
At least ten people, including two children, were killed in two attacks in the northeastern state of Assam. Police attributed the attacks to Bodo separatists who want an independent homeland; the victims were Muslim migrants (BBC).
PAKISTAN: Journalist Hamid Mir testified on Friday before a judicial inquiry established to investigate the April 19 assassination attempt on him. Mir has accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of orchestrating the attack (Indian Express).
Aqil Shah discusses the case in Foreign Affairs.
Saudi Arabia Says MERS Cases Nearly Double in April
Saudi Arabia said on Thursday that twenty-six additional cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) were reported this week, bringing the total number of confirmed infections in the country to 371. Public health officials worry that a Ramadan influx of pilgrims could spread the virus (Reuters).
CFR's Laurie Garrett examines some of the possible causes and proposes steps to prevent a global outbreak.
SYRIA: Syria's government and rebels agreed to a cease-fire on Friday that will allow rebel fighters to evacuate and bring the country's third-largest city under the control of forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad just weeks before he seeks a renewed electoral mandate, the Associated Press reports.
Kerry Pushes for Peace in South Sudan
South Sudan president Salva Kiir agreed to meet with his political rival-turned-rebel leader, Riek Machar, for peace talks as early as next week, U.S. secretary of state John Kerry announced from the capital of Juba. Kerry warned that the country faces possible genocide or famine (AP).
NIGERIA: A car bomb in Abuja on Thursday left around twenty people dead, less than three weeks after another attack that suggested insurgent violence was coming to the capital. The World Economic Forum is meeting in Nigeria next week (This Day).
CFR's John Campbell blogs on the kidnapping of more than two hundred schoolgirls by the insurgent group Boko Haram.
Turkish Internet Censorship Draws Criticism
Protestors clashed with police who sought to enforce a ban on a May Day march on Thursday, but some critics of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan find his crackdown on the Internet more worrisome. They speculate that Turkey's policies could provide a template for other countries, while technology firms grapple with accommodating the laws in exchange for market access (WSJ).
White House Calls for Private-Sector Limits on Data Collection
The White House released a report on Thursday that recommends the government develop limits on the information companies gather on customers online. The report argues that regulations stem discrimination enabled by data, and recommends that privacy rights be extended to non-citizens (NYT).
COLOMBIA: At least thirty remained trapped after an illegal mine collapsed, killing three and leaving two injured (Colombia Reports).

Marvel Is Bringing Deathlok to AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
Marvel has announced that the character Deathlok is coming to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is the first time the character will brought to life in a live-action project. J. August Richards, who appeared in the pilot and subsequent episodes as Mike Peterson, will now become Deathlok, and these are the details that they give us,
"Transformed into the cybernetic solider against his will, Mike Peterson (Richards) must struggle to find the man in the machine. With a high-tech eye that allows him to see through walls, super strength and increased speed courtesy of a cybernetic leg, will Deathlok fight alongside the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or against them?"
Executive Producer Jeffrey Bell had this to say in a statement,
"We have been waiting all season for this moment where we can reveal that Mike Peterson's story arc is an origin story. We're thrilled to have J. August Richards playing Deathlok and to have our audience enjoy this favorite Marvel character on the show."
Richards added,
"If you would have asked when I was nine-years old what I wanted to be, I would have said a super hero and I'm so excited to be one now as an adult on TV! It's a dream come true."
Marvel and ABC are sure doing everything they can to keep audiences hooked on the show, and I'm going to keep watching!

something about the blues depressed me
how quickly you lose your kid just impressed me
when i'm with you I feel up
so let's get pizza in a cup
i've only known you four weeks and three days
to me it feels 9 weeks and 5, babe
the first seemed like a week and the second seemed like more
it's written down, now tell me that i'm yours
i might not have money
but now i'm somebody
i'm in the phonebook pg 73
so when you make love to your boyfriend wontyou think of me
You look so peaceful, you almost look dead
I'm no longer nervous, can say things i've never said
I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit. With you I'm relaxed enough to say it.
i will order both of us the newest wine
in hopes that it will help me make you mine.
i'll put umbrellas in your drink and keep the snails of your plate
if you say "yes" when i ask you on a date
Once you get to know me you'll see my special purpose
and on that day i'll pick you out a vinyl striped thermos
Not an ordinary Thermos but the best that you can buy
now tell me
can i be your guy?
i can't clap in time but my heart keeps good rhythm
Now promise to think of me when ever you kiss him
or if you think that we could work
leave him for this jerk.
There's something special about you
No one affects me like you do
when you do that certain thing
I can't help from howling
I can Totally Recall
What it feels like to fall for you
when I first saw your name
on the screen
Oh Rob Bottin
There's no graphics team
That can compete with your technique
That's too unique to repeat
While our fingers interlace
We can put on innerspace
We'll pretend to be Explorers
Of scifi gore and horror
Darkness won't get in our way
The fog can't stop us today
When you call me on the phone
To watch Twilight zone
I'll say
Oh Rob Bottin
There's no graphics team
That can compete with your technique
That's too unique to repeat
My basic instinct says decry
The icy touch of CGI
Please come back Rob Bottin
We're tired of green screens
You've changed the lives of teens
We need you Rob Bottin

I'm in my early to mid 30s, and I've noticed my face looking longer and less full than it used to. My jawline and chin area are starting to thin and recede. Can fillers help? If so, which ones? Or, would surgery be a better option? I want to add fullness to the lower half of my face. Please help! Thanks!
What Cosmetic Procedures Can Help a Long Face Look Fuller? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
Fat, radiesse and sculptra are probably the 3 most common fillers for the lower face.
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Filling in the lower face to help conceal a long face is usually done with either fat injections every 3-6 months for a few times at $1500-2500/session or radiesse at $650/syringe with several syringes or sculptra. Sincerely,

IntelMy final earnings short-squeeze trade idea today is semiconductor chip maker Intel ( INTC), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Intel to report revenue of $13.76 billion on earnings of 45 cents per share. During the last quarter, Intel beat Wall Street estimates by 10 cents, after reporting a net income of 60 cents per share versus the estimate of a profit of 50 cents per share. That marked the fourth straight quarter where the company beat Wall Street estimates. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Intel stands at 4.3%. That means that out of the 4.97 billion shares in the tradable float, 215.50 million shares are sold short by the bears. This isn't a huge short interest, but it's more than enough to spark a solid short squeeze if Intel can deliver the earnings news the bulls are looking for. From a technical perspective, INTC is currently trending above its 50-day moving average and below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending modestly for the last two months, with shares moving higher from its low of $19.23 to its recent high of $22.13 a share. During that uptrend, shares of INTC have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed INTC within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're in the bull camp on INTC, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $22.31 to $23 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 48.9 million shares. If that breakout triggers, then INTC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $23.96 to $24.84 a share. Any move above $24.84 will then put $26 to $26.63 into focus for shares of INTC. I would avoid INTC or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below some key near-term support levels at $21 to its 50-day at $20.63 a share with heavy volume. If we get that move, then INTC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $20.16 to $19.42 a share. Any move below $19.23 a share will then push INTC into new 52-week-low territory, which is bearish technical price action.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) – Barack Obama, making his first visit to a Muslim nation as president, declared Monday the United States "is not and will never be at war with Islam."
Urging a greater partnership with the Islamic world in an address to the Turkish parliament, Obama called the country an important U.S. ally in many areas, including the fight against terrorism. He devoted much of his speech to urging a greater bond between Americans and Muslims, portraying terrorist groups such as al Qaida as extremists who do not represent the vast majority of Muslims.
"Let me say this as clearly as I can," Obama said. "The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical … in rolling back a fringe ideology that people of all faiths reject."
The U.S. president is trying to mend fences with a Muslim world that felt it had been blamed by America for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Continue reading

A paper published in the Journal for Neurocognitive Research, Vol. 53, No 1-2 (2011).
In this paper, we describe several factors that can contribute, from the patient's viewpoint, to the plausibility of psychotic hallucinations. We sketch then a Plausibility of Hallucinations Scale, consisting of a 50-item questionnaire, which aims at evaluating the degree of plausibility of hallucinations. We also emphasize the utility of pointing out to the patient the several factors that contribute to the plausibility of his/her hallucinations, in the context of cognitive therapy for schizophrenia.

Please read up on Elizabeth Warren and all the good work she's done, and is trying to do:
[bold]Elizabeth Warren Goes After NRA, Big Banks, GOP[/bold]
Since joining Congress, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has been fighting to penalize bad banks, expand consumer protections, and confirm Richard Cordray as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which she helped create in 2011. Yesterday she took her message to the Consumer Federation of America. "I know I'm preaching to the choir," Warren told the group's members, "but it is time for Washington to stop protecting a handful of the big guys."
Warren said the 43 Senate Republicans who sent a letter to President Obama demanding a change of structure at the CFPB were trying to weaken the agency, and she called the NRA's attempts to limit data gathering on gun violence "dangerous."
Watch a portion of the speech, and read her full prepared remarks below.

And I read the NYT, the WP and various new sources online. I am WELL aware of Elizabeth Warren and everything she's done and believes. I am a fan. Still don't know what she looks like.
(I'm embarrassed to say I only knew what John Boehner looked like because I'm from Ohio and his sobbing, orange face is on the front page of the paper every day.)

I got 13/13 but I admit to guessing on the Elizabeth Warren picture. Recognising her face has nothing to do with knowing about the amazing things she has accomplished. I watch very little television and do not even have cable. I do, however, read at least two newspapers every day. Had they asked a more in-depth question about her work, I would have had no problem at all but it was not easy to pick her picture out of those of four other blonde women of the same approximate age range.

Yeah, I say give people who missed Elizabeth Warren's pic a break. Before the DNC this past year, I had no idea what she looked like, but certainly knew all about her. I live in LA and get my news from the paper and NPR. That was her first big national TV coverage and if you happened to miss it, then chances are you missed what she looked like.
I actually think it's sort of sad that the quiz relied more on pics than a person's policy initiative or platforms. Says more about the veracity of our collective knowledge than I care to admit.

I noticed Elizabeth Warren for the first time exactly ten years ago, when I saw her book THE TWO-INCOME TRAP. It had become obvious to me sometime before then that dual-income families were risking an awful lot by buying as much house as TWO incomes could buy, essentially trapping both partners into having to work to pay the mortgage.
What if the wife wanted to be a SAHM?
When I saw this book at Olsson's, I stood and skimmed a few chapters the next few times I went in. I never forgot the logic and intelligence and, apparently, the face of the woman who wrote the book.

13 but it was iffy about Elizabeth Warren. I had never seen her with that severe hairstyle. Her hair was usually like the woman in the photo over her. Who is the woman in that photo? I've seen her but can't recall.
I wasn't sure of Boehner since I detest him and look away when he's around. The photo isn't quite orange enough.
My work took me all around the globe so geography and flags are easy, famous people sort of blend together. I was once walking down a street in Germany and easily spotted the Chancellor and the guy with him looked familiar. I thought he could be a U.S. Senator. Instead he was the P.M. of Canada.

In fact your elected/appointed officials should be worried that you know the answers to some of these questions. I am willing to bet no one will be able to answer all 10 questions correctly without a little research. I will post the answers in a separate post.
Answer the following questions:
1. Who is the current President of Mexico? 2. Who is the current Prime Minister of Canada? 3. What country did former President Hugo Chavez lead and what is its capital city? 4. What other historic event occurred on Sept 11 in US history? (not the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks) 5. What is the total number of Congressional Representatives in Congress?(US House & Senate combined) 6. What is a 501(c)3 organization? 7. How many reactors experienced a meltdown at the Fukushima, Japan nuclear plant on March 11, 2011? 8. What life preserving facility is in Svalbard, Norway? 9.

r105, some of those questions are ridiculous. It's a matter of opinion what is important to know. I would argue it's more important to know the difference between the Senate and the House than to memorize exactly how many Congressmen there are. And why is the prime minister of Canada important to know? He isn't in the news very often in the US.

You sound as if you're doing a scene in "The King & I" when the king sees a world map for the first time and finds out how small Siam is.
Syria has been a major player in world news for a thousand years so it seems people could recognize it on a map.
Ten centuries ago, the Emir of Syria, Tutush I, died so his holdings were divided between his sons Fakhr al-Mulk Radwan who inherited Aleppo and Duqaq who inherited Damascus. Both emirs were very antagonistic toward each other, as well as toward Kerbogha, in nearby Mosul. Could you find any of those places on a map, R104? Could you trace the route of the First Crusade, an event that caused great upheaval all along the route ten centuries ago?

1. Enrique Peña Nieto 2. Stephen Harper 3. Venezuela - Caracas,Venezuala 4. Sept 11, 1789 marked the appointment of Alexander Hamilton as the USA's 1st Treasury Secretary. His appointment, the creation of the Bank of US, and his debt servicing schemes were so controversal, yet successful that his actions splintered the 1st congress and those divisions marked the origins of the party system in the US. Many FED programs have been named after places and events in Hamilton's life. Maiden Lane - FED bailout for Citicorp and other big banks in 2009 named after the street Hamilton lived on in NYC in colonial times. 5. 525 - 425 house 100 senate 6. A type of tax free non-profit organization that doesn't require federal disclosure of the identities of its contributors. Most of the lobbying money in Washington comes from these entities. 7. 3 nuclear reactors melted down with a 4th's fuel pool was structurally compromised. 8. An underground seed vault constructed with funding from Bill Gates, Monsanto, and the Norwegian gov. to preserve existing seeds from all native plant species on planet. The contents of this facility represent a 'Plan B' of sorts that will become critical after for-profit GMO seeds contaminate the planet and alter existing species through cross pollination. This facility's existance tacitly acknowledges that the GMO experiment will end badly but at least they had the forsight to build it and preserve what is here now. These are the types of outcomes that occur when science falls under corporate control. Humanity suffers. 9. 12 banks - New York Fed is the largest with a net income of $25.858 Billion dollars in 2009. 10. 6% dividend on each share of FED stock owned (FED shares are not publicly traded) + interest earned on excess reserve bin deposits.

Washington Post Staff Writer

A bill to end cost overruns in major weapons systems would create a powerful new Pentagon position -- director of independent cost assessments -- to review cost analyses and estimates, separately from the military branch requesting the program.
Those reviews, unlike in the current process, would take place at key points in the acquisition process before a weapons program can proceed, according to legislation sponsored by Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Last year, the Government Accountability Office reported that cost overruns on the Pentagon's 95 largest weapons acquisitions system totaled about $300 billion, even though the government cut quantities and reduced performance expectations.
"A train wreck is coming," McCain said at a hearing yesterday on the bill.
The bipartisan legislation would also enable the Pentagon to pull the plug on a weapons project that has a critical cost overrun unless the Defense Secretary certifies, with reasons and documentation, that the program is essential to the national security and can be made cost-effective.
If the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 becomes law, current big-ticket programs such as the U.S. Army's Future Combat System, the Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet, and the Pentagon's Joint Strike Fighter strike aircraft weapon system, could face new scrutiny. All three have come under fire for their expense and the slow development.
The Joint Strike Fighter and Future Combat System account for almost $80 billion in cost overruns, and were begun with insufficiently mature technologies and rosy assumptions about performance, Levin said. Twelve years after Joint Strike Fighter program was started, three of eight critical technologies are still not mature, he said. Eight years after Future Combat System was launched, only three of 44 critical technologies are mature.
"Particularly at this time, when the federal budget is under immense strain . . . we simply cannot continue this kind of waste and inefficiency," Levin said.
Currently, the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, the Pentagon's senior acquisitions officer, receives cost estimates on weapons programs from two sources -- the program office in the relevant service branch, and the Pentagon's Cost Analysis Improvement Group.
Under the proposed legislation, the group's 30-person staff would fall under the new independent cost assessment director. That new office would have significant authority to obtain data from the contractor and to ensure costs are justified. The director would also have to submit an annual report to Congress.
At the hearing, four defense experts testified that it was key to have accurate cost estimates at the beginning of the acquisition process. They also emphasized the need to rebuild an acquisitions workforce decimated by two decades of government downsizing.
Jacques S. Gansler, a former Pentagon senior acquisition officer, told lawmakers that the Defense Contract Management Agency is down to 10,000 staff from 25,000 in 1990. The Army had five general officers with contract backgrounds then. By 2007, it had none.
"Everything about the bill is going in the right direction," said Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group. "The part that worries me most is that it assumes Congress is going to do its job of serious oversight," she said, "and in general, we're pretty disappointed with Congress in that regard."

There has been a lot of community dialogue recently about the return of Reggae On The River to its original French's Camp venue in the Cook's Valley area of Piercy, CA. While this news stirs up different emotions in different people, it feels like the vast majority of the Southern Humboldt and Northern Mendocino community have embraced the prospect of the festival's return, and many are overjoyed about it.
Seeing relatively little community opposition to the project throughout the public comment period and subsequent hearing process, the Humboldt County Planning Commission unanimously approved the festival's application at their Jan. 3 meeting with an added stipulation that Mateel continue to work with immediate neighbors and businesses to reasonably address their security and business access concerns.
Since this time, Mateel has spent many hours continuing to work towards this end and have entered into signed agreements or been issued letters of support from all but three of the businesses in the immediate vicinity of the festival, the Cook's Valley Patriot Station, Thunderbird Mountain Trading Company, and Grandfather Tree. While we remain hopeful that these businesses will recognize the economic opportunity that Reggae On The River provides for the entire community, and hopefully for their businesses in particular given proximity to the show, efforts to reach agreement with these entities still have yet to bear fruit.
For the record, what is being offered by Mateel to these (and all the immediate neighbor) businesses is 24-hour security for their properties over the duration of the event, maximum allowable access for festival patrons to support their businesses, and, in the case of the Patriot Station, shuttle service to the other side of the highway to deliver patrons at MCC's expense.
Despite what is stated in our approved plan of operations about running our own onsite concession, the Mateel has also told these dissenting business owners that we have no plans to run (or otherwise farm out) a concession this year that would sell products that might compete with their items. And, taking this a step further, we fully intend to include these businesses on the festival map, in the program guide, and on our website, plus include signage at the event to better direct people to them. One would hope these efforts will help these businesses increase sales considerably, not hamper them.
Furthermore, we've continued to work in good faith with Caltrans and CHP to address the very legitimate freeway access concerns shared by these businesses. Though we have little pull in this department, we have been able to garner assurances from CHP that they will be as flexible on the ground as possible without compromising public safety. Being that our project is, at most, a third the size of the previous event that took place at this venue, and coupled with the fact that there will be no pedestrian traffic across 101 and staggered arrivals over Thursday and Friday (both ROTR firsts, and at the CHP's request), we anticipate drastically reduced traffic impacts than what neighbors may remember from previous years. We also expect these changes will help better maintain regular tourist business while still allowing for the added boost from our festival patrons.
Since logic would hopefully dictate that thousands of festival-goers at your doorstep would tend to increase sales, if you add to this the reality that our project is much smaller, with different operations requirements, and is once again put on by the community center for the community's benefit, it is hard to believe we are even at this impasse. Yet we remain hopeful that those who would oppose this event for their own economic concerns would take another look at the larger picture and allow us a year to see how these changes/differences play out. Only then will we start to establish a baseline and be able to talk knowingly about whether this event really does have the negative impact they are concerned about, all the while not risking a proven community fundraiser and economic stimulus. And, everyone should rest easier knowing our permit requires us to go before the Planning Commission every year to review the conditions of approval before the next event gets green-lighted
Thanks for taking the time to better understand our Mateel perspective. We hope you'll support us in making Reggae On The River's French's Camp homecoming a reality in 2013. Please send letters of support ASAP to email@example.com or show up in person on Feb. 11 to say your piece. The hearing starts at 9 a.m. in the board of supervisors' chambers in the Humboldt County courthouse in Eureka.

Pur Minerals Mineral Shea Butter Lipstick Reviews
Excellent ProductI absolutely love this lipstick in "Black Amethyst," which I purchased at Ulta. I tend to be easily bored and rarely purchase the same shade twice. This color was the exception. It is a soft wine shade and has the right amount of pigment and moisture for a sheer lipstick. The natural color of my top and bottom lips differ significantly, but I don't need a lipliner when using this product. It is a far more beautiful color than "Clinique's Black Honey." — 8 years agoNT02360 | 34 reviews

Stunning wallpaper pics of dreamy Robert Pattinson to deck out your Android phone! High resolution HD quality.
Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson (born 13 May 1986)[3] is an English actor, model, musician and producer.[4] Pattinson started his career by playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.[5] He later landed the leading role of Edward Cullen in the film adaptations of the Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer, and came to worldwide fame, thus establishing himself among the highest paid and most bankable actors in Hollywood.
In 2008 Pattinson landed the coveted role of Edward Cullen in the film Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel of the same name. According to TV Guide, Pattinson was initially apprehensive about auditioning for the role of Edward Cullen, fearful that he would not be able to live up to the "perfection" expected from the character.The film was released on 21 November 2008 and turned Pattinson into a moviestar overnight.
Edward Cullen (né Edward Anthony Masen) is a fictional character in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. He is featured in the books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, and their corresponding film adaptations, and the as yet unfinished novel Midnight Sun - a re-telling of the events of Twilight from Edward's perspective. Edward is a telepathic Vampire who, over the course of the series, falls in love with, marries, and has a child with Bella Swan, a human teenager who later chooses to become a vampire as well. In the Twilight film series, Edward is played by actor Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson then starred as Salvador Dalí in the film Little Ashes, and also appeared in How to Be andThe Summer House. He reprised his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon which was released on November 20, 2009.

Senator Carl L. Marcellino (R-Syosset) announced today that Samantha Ealy from the Washington Drive Primary School, in the Harborfields Central School District won statewide recognition for environmental awareness through the State Senate's 14th Annual I*MA*GREEN*NATION" competition.
"Samantha competed against hundreds of students from throughout New York State, and her imaginative work was judged to be among the best in the 2005 contest," said Senator Marcellino, "I know that our entire community shares my pride in this remarkable young women who has demonstrated awareness and concern for the important environmental challenges that we all face to make our state a better, cleaner place."
The "I*MA*GREEN*NATION" Awards program was established to promote recycling and conservation and help develop awareness among students from grades one through eight. Further, it facilitates an exchange of ideas about recycling and waste reduction between schools, children and adults—stimulating creative thinking concerning these issues and possible solutions.
Samantha who is in Dr. Christine Fiorella Russo's class, won third Place in Division I, grades 1-3 literature competition for her project.
"Samantha has a very bright future ahead of her," Senator Marcellino said. "Her imagination and writing ability are quite impressive and I look forward to great things from her in the years to come."

Plumbing Questions? Ask a Plumber and Get Answers ASAP.
Welcome, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will do my best to help with your issue
Thanks. Not my home.king for a friend.
It's possible the valve may need to be replaced. But before resorting to that I'd try flushing out the valve
You can do this by pulling the stems (what the handles are attached to) one at a time then turn the water back on to flush it out
You mean the diverter valve? Flow to tub spout is low even with diverter open.
I assume the diverter is on the spout?
or is it in the valve?
On spout
If it's on the spout then all you can do to flush this out is pull the stems out of the valve one at a time
But if the clog is in the valve body between the stems this won't help
Problem--only shutoff I can find is on the street
What ever fix you try you'll have to shut the water off wherever you can. If this means killing the water to other units then the best option is to just install a new valve/faucet
I was afraid of that. Water service is to only one townhome, but I hate to work on plumbing in tiled wall. What do you think my chances are for finding new cartridges at a good hardware store after I pull out old ones?
I doubt just replacing the stems will help and the chances of finding parts for a 30 year old valve are slim to none. None if you don't know the brand and model. If you replace the valve you don't have to rip the wall open. We routinely replace valves (the "faucet" is the valve) by cutting a hole just big enough to work in which is covered up by a specially designed cover plate. The new single control valve goes in the hole in the middle of the plate.
Yes, but don't remember screws in plate. Unfortunately, I am not at home in question right now.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. The method I just described works anywhere as long as the tile is in decent shape. What's in there now doesn't matter. This plate is designed to cover the holes in the tile made by any old 2 or 3 handle valve
Whoops-missed the text in your last post. Okay, I'll talk to owner about fix. Thanks for your help.
You're welcome. Keep in mind that attempting to fix what's there could result in no water anywhere in the house if anything goes wrong. With a new valve it's over and done.

West Australian Premier
"We want to see that gas developed and we want to see gas come onshore for use in the West Australian economy," he said.
Mr Barnett appeared to scale back his opposition to FLNG on Friday when Woodside first announced it would not continue with the project.
"If the project goes ahead offshore, and I certainly don't want to see that, it's still a project that would have significant benefits to Western Australia," he said on Friday.
But his resolve against FLNG appears to have galvanised over the weekend. Mr Barnett warned that the use of FLNG could cause him to rethink approving an extension of the lease Woodside holds over WA's share of the Browse gas deposits, which represent about 30 per cent of the total reserves.
"It should not be assumed that the retention of Commonwealth leases automatically means the same treatment of state leases," he said on Monday.
"The retention lease I think still runs through for another nine months or a year. so I'm not going to be ridiculous about that but we may not simply say whatever the Commonwealth decides to do with its gas we'll follow.
"I'm just making the point, and I hope the companies might listen, don't assume anything," he said.
Mr Barnett also indicated he could link the provision of domestic gas to granting retention leases for a FLNG project.
"That might be one of the arguments, yeah," he said when asked about domestic gas reserves.

text: The new Schuberth C3 Pro represents a step forward for the German manufacturer who leads the premium modular helmet market. Four new features set the Schuberth C3 Pro apart from its competition: the C3 Pro has a new lip/spoiler, a new integrated antenna for greater communication range, a new venting style and scheme for improved airflow and a redeveloped interior. In addition, the Schuberth C3 Pro Helmet is even quieter than the C3 - all of these features add up to create one of the most technologically-advanced helmets ever created.

If you've been thinking about biking to work, or even if you're a regular bike commuter, make sure your tires are pumped up, because the 10-day Muni shutdown on major routes begins tomorrow—and biking will be your best way to get around.
Starting tomorrow at 7 pm through June 4 at 5 am, the entire N line, much of the J will be closed for the "long shutdown," for rail replacements. Bus shuttles will be in place, but will be slower and over-crowded. What's the solution? Biking, of course.
Biking to work will make you alert for the day, save you the hassle of overcrowded buses and, as anyone who bikes in SF can attest—biking is the fastest way to get around the city.
Plus, there are 23 miles of new bike lanes in just the last year and a half, so you'll likely have some pretty nice bikeways on the way. Check out the bike map that mirrors the N and J lines, and see just how easy it is to pedal the line.
Still don't have your city biking legs? The SF Bicycle Coalition is offering to be your personal trip leader for the bike commute during the shutdown. They'll be leading "bike trains" along the N and J lines, picking people up along the way and commuting in to downtown. So, if you've never bike commuted, or you're still getting comfortable riding in the city, join them for this comfortable group ride to the office.
For those of you more experienced commuters, note that the beloved Duboce Bikeway (with the murals behind Safeway) will be closed during this shutdown. Bike traffic will be rerouted on Market Street, 14th Street and Sanchez.
And if after the pedal to work, you're still looking for a little extra mileage, spin on over to the Golden Gate Bridge…BECAUSE THE BIKE SIDE IS FINALLY OPEN! Hooray for the Bridge opening and hooray for another reason to bike to work—not that you really needed one.

text: Well I'm thinking about getting an all around hunting rifle. So far I think either .308 or 30-06 will do nicely. what do you think would be better. I figure it'll be hunting anything and everything in Tennessee. That includes the occasional Big cat [not exactly sure what they are, besides massive]. Also would would be better price wise?
