Congressional Republicans and Democrats began voicing their displeasure over U.S. President Obama's 2014 budget plan, saying it didn't go far enough to cut spending or it raised taxes or it intruded too much on entitlements or left wage-earners in a lurch.
When he revealed his proposal -- more than two months after the Feb. 4 deadline -- Obama said his $1.8 trillion budget is a "fiscally responsible blueprint" that includes middle-class jobs and growth.
His budget proposed investments in infrastructure and education, new taxes for the wealthy and entitlement reforms, as well as doing away with the across-the-board cuts in federal spending, known as the sequester.
Calling his budget a "fiscally responsible blueprint," Obama said it wouldn't add "a dime to the deficits."
The majority parties in both houses already introduced their own budget blueprints.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee, said his budget would cut spending by $5.7 trillion, reduce the top tax rate to 25 percent and balance the budget within 10 years -- contracting federal spending from 22.2 percent of the economy to 19.1 percent by 2023 and making hay on many of the proposals he advanced while on the stump in 2012.
Senate Budget Committee chairwoman Patty Murray's plan, revealed soon after Ryan offered his proposal, includes nearly $1 trillion in new taxes but would not balance the budget. The blueprint also would end the sequester -- something Ryan's plan keeps in place -- replacing those spending cuts with an even mix of tax increases and spending cuts. The budget would dedicate $100 billion to economic stimulus in the form of infrastructure spending and job training, two items for which Obama called during his State of the Union address.
Among other things, Obama's inclusion of a plan to change the calculation method for the annual cost of living adjustments for Social Security and other federal programs raised some hackles. Shifting to "chained CPI" in 2013 from the current inflation measure could reduce the federal debt by $230 billion, but it also means seniors would see smaller increases in their Social Security payments each year.
"I am deeply disappointed that the president's budget includes a chained consumer price index which would mean significant cuts for Social Security and veterans. It also would raise taxes on low- and middle-income Americans," Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind-Vt., posted on his Facebook page. "For seniors, Obama's proposal would mean that a 65-year-old retiree would lose more than $650 a year by their 75th birthday and $1,000 a year would be cut from their benefits once they reach 85."
Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told CNN Obama's plan wasn't kind to seniors.
"His budget lays out a shocking attack on seniors, if you will," Walden said.
Away from Capitol Hill, Obama's budget drew rocks and roses on a host of issues besides Social Security.
Independent Petroleum Association of America Chairman Virginia Lazenby, chief executive officer of Bretagne, LLC, in Nashville, said Obama's budget "demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the American oil and natural gas industry and its tax treatment."
"Its call to repeal the industry's tax 'subsidies' mischaracterizes the industry's tax provisions and disregards the way the tax code has influenced energy development for decades," she said in a statement. "Independent oil and natural gas producers currently reinvest ... their capital budgets into new energy projects, and by doing so, they keep the economy moving. The tax treatment is crucial to the business decisions of these companies."
The conservative Heritage Foundation, the day after Obama released his budget, listed five things on its blog that followers need to know: It raises taxes by $1.1 trillion; it underfunds the Pentagon; it doubles down on the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare; it doesn't, and won't, balance, and "It's irrelevant."
"The president's budget is more than two months late," the foundation said. "The House and Senate have already passed their own budgets, and the next step is for the two chambers to come together to see if they can hash out a budget that both chambers can pass. At this point, why is the President bothering?"
John Arensmeyer, founder and chief executive officer of Small Business Majority, said Obama's blueprint was largely positive for small businesses, but cautioned entrepreneurs don't want cuts to Social Security as a way to lower the deficit.
"The president's 2014 budget blueprint includes key provisions small businesses support and have long been asking for, such as closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy and large corporations, reducing corporate tax rates in a revenue-neutral manner, offering tax credits for small-business hiring, and creating manufacturing, infrastructure and clean energy initiatives that can provide small businesses with economic opportunities and encourage job growth," Arensmeyer said in a statement.
However, he said, polling by his organization indicated small businesses support preserving Social Security.
"They don't want to see cuts to this program as a way to reduce the deficit," he said, "because consumers and small business owners will have less money to spend, which would negatively affect the economy and small businesses' bottom lines."
Patrick Jones, executive director and CEO of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, said Obama was right saying, "It will take more than federal government funding for us to meet our country's transportation and infrastructure challenges."
Before his budget, Obama touted joint public-private construction projects, among other measures, to lure investment in U.S. infrastructure.
"It's clear that the old way of federal transportation funding isn't working," Jones said. "In order for us to adequately meet the infrastructure needs of our country, and to maintain safe, convenient mobility for all Americans, it is essential our leaders explore new sources of revenue such as tolling."
Concerning Obama's call to simplify the nation's tax code, Katie Vlietstra, director of Government Relations for The National Association for the Self-Employed, said her organization agreed with the budget's aim to make the tax code simpler and fairer.
"But the sad reality is our tax code is unfair for the millions of small businesses that want to grow and expand their small businesses, and even more deterring for those who want to open their own small businesses," Vlietstra said in a statement. "While job creation and closing loopholes are important, just as essential is creating the environment for new and existing small businesses to thrive without a paper trail of unnecessary and complex requirements."
While expressing dismay over some aspects of Obama's budget, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka praised others.
"Obama budget falls short of putting our economy on a path towards higher wages and full employment. ... This austerity budget is bad economic policy at a moment when the economy remains weak and we urgently need more job-creating investments," Trumka said.
However, he praised the budget for aiming to provide "universal access to pre-kindergarten programs that are so important to our children."
"It strengthens programs to protect workers against wage theft, unsafe workplaces and employer retaliation. It closes the outrageous loophole that allows Wall Street financial managers to pay a special lower tax rate," he said. "And it reforms some of the tax loopholes that allow corporations to get away with shifting profits overseas to avoid U.S. taxes."
Back on Capitol Hill, Obama's budget strategy concerns many Democrats, warning that the president's starting position on budget negotiations might alienate the Democratic base as well as help Republicans make Obama and the Democrats own even more spending cuts.
"I'm well past the point of trying to understand what, if any, strategy is behind anything this administration does," one Democratic aide told Roll Call. "It most definitely does not outline party priorities, as evident by the reaction from the base. And it most definitely doesn't accomplish anything [in terms of] a long-term 'deal' because -- news flash -- he has tried all this before and it never got anywhere.
"The GOP has no interest in working with [Democrats] on anything," the aide said. "After a certain point, you'd think that the White House would change [things] up, but I guess we're not there yet."
White House officials reiterate Obama is willing to compromise and make tough decisions to reduce the deficit, but only in the context of a package "that has balance and includes revenues from the wealthiest Americans and that is designed to promote economic growth."
Finally, a $70 million budgetary line item allocated for small modular reactors earned the Energy Department a Golden Fleece award.
No one is knocking down doors to buy a small modular reactor, Taxpayers for Common Sense said, because there's no assurance that the electricity produced will be remotely competitive with power from other sources.
"This is supposed to be a time of great austerity in Washington," said Ryan Alexander, Taxpayers for Common Sense president. "We cannot afford to pile more market-distorting subsidies to profitable companies on top of the billions of dollars in subsidies we already give to nuclear power.
"If the industry believes in small modular reactors and a reactor in every backyard, that's wonderful ... but don't expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab."

Evolving Goals and Changing Communities
As the movement for magnet schools gained momentum, districts also expanded their goals to focus on achievement-oriented outcomes as well as to address issues of the changing community context and demographics. New purposes for magnet schools include modeling innovative educational methods and leveraging the element of choice to increase student learning and parent satisfaction. In some districts, magnet schools have dramatically improved student achievement levels, renewing interest in these schools as a promising strategy for improving student learning. As part of a strategy for increasing school choice and the dissemination of innovative education practices, magnet schools also can serve as effective vehicles for providing low-income and minority students with better options for education. As MSA founder Donald Waldrip says, "Magnet schools are based on the premise that all students do not learn in the same ways, that if we find a unifying theme or a different organizational structure for students of similar interest, those students will learn more in all areas."5 The MSAP evaluation of its 1998 grantees found that teachers in the magnet schools funded by the program emphasized higher-order thinking skills and used more varied assessment practices than teachers in traditional schools. As a magnet school principal explains, "A primary benefit of launching a theme concept is that it motivates staff members to implement innovative strategies in the classroom … brings cohesiveness to a school's staff, and offers new opportunities for leadership."6
Choice is a powerful element that can help create the conditions for successful magnet schools. Students are more engaged in the classroom, parents and community members become more actively involved with school life, and staff members feel connected by the curricular coherence and shared culture in schools of choice.
There is an ongoing challenge to prepare secondary students to demonstrate academic achievement at high levels. Magnet high schools are producing positive results, as the schools profiled in this guide illustrate. Part of the secret of their success has to do with the opportunity to experience innovative learning and the level of rigor they provide in their programs and instruction. At these schools, academic excellence and innovation go hand in hand, preparing students for college and for success in careers beyond.
This guide is written for policy-makers, district and school staff, as well as educators and parents interested in understanding what successful magnet schools offer and how the strategies they use to implement innovative programs can increase equity and achievement levels for their students. Readers of this guide will need to select, adapt, and implement practices that meet their individual needs and school contexts using the ideas and practices from the schools featured in this guide as a springboard for their own action research.

For the past 10 years, Vancouver Whitecaps FC have been playing a key role in developing talent for Canada's women's national team – with 14 of the 20 players on Canada's recent Olympic qualifying roster having previously played for the 'Caps. That isn't the only commonality for Canada's top talent. Nearly every player to represent Canada has played collegiate soccer, whether in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) or across the border in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
That recipe for success of playing for both the 'Caps and getting a post-secondary education while playing collegiately continues for Canadian women's players, as several more members of the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite program have made their school commitments for this coming school year.
"For girls, the 'next level' is playing college soccer," said Carrie Taylor, Whitecaps FC Girls Elite manager and women's assistant head coach. "They are fortunate to continue playing the sport they love and college soccer allows them to not only continue to advance their soccer skills, but it all fosters their development as people."
Attending the University of Victoria this fall will be striker Allie Wiebe. At UVic, Wiebe will play for the Vikes with 2011 'Caps women's player Jaclyn Sawicki.
Navneet Samra, meanwhile, will be joining many of her current and former Whitecaps FC teammates at the University of British Columbia.
Many top players have also taken the path of crossing the border and playing collegiately in the NCAA. 18 of the 20 players on the Olympic qualifying roster played NCAA soccer, with several of the younger players still in school down south.
Defender Kathryn Baker has made the decision to follow a long line of fellow 'Caps players and attend Oregon State University. Next year, she'll play with Whitecaps alum Chelsea Buckland – who was on the Olympic Qualifying team – as well as 2011 'Caps Jenna Richardson and Erin Uchacz.
The 'Windy City' will soon become home for striker Elise Wyatt, as she's bound for Chicago's Depaul University, while goalkeeper Zoe Makrigiannis is staying on the west coast to play at San Jose State University. Two other players from the Girls Elite program will be heading a little further south. Defender Lindsay Johansen is set to attend Arkansas State University, while midfielder Emma Fletcher has committed to Louisiana State University.
The Ivy league is not only known for their academic excellence, but they're also known for producing some top class talent, including Princeton University graduate and Canadian women's national team midfielder Diana Matheson. Hoping to follow Matheson will be defender Justine Do, who is attending Yale University, and striker Lucielle Kozlov, who will be going to Dartmouth.
"We are very proud of all the players," added Taylor. "We know that they will be successful representatives of Whitecaps FC and the Girls Elite program."

I would like to become a professional in php, I have learned nearly all about the language syntax and concepts and I have a good knowledge in C and C++, which made it easier to become familiar with PHP. (Of course, I learned MySql too.)
But I don't feel like being able to build even a little good website of my own! It looks like PHP is all about knowing lots of functions and using them, while in fact I don't think it's like that, is it?
How can I become a professional in PHP and Website Building? I would do anything and spend whatever amount of time required for that.
EDIT I've also a very good knowledge in HTML and a normal knowledge in CSS and JavaScript. Sorry for not mentioning that, I just thought it was implicitly included.

Recently, an Internet meme began on the topic of what kinds of technology we use to get things done. I'm not sure how comfortable I am sharing all the gadgets and settings that I'm using, but it has spurred me to write this post about a really neat service I just found out about.
I'm using Gist to keep track of my contacts these days. One of the most valuable aspects to Gist is its ability to track a variety of web content by your contacts. This could include articles they write, blog posts, tweets, etc. All of these items appear in one place when you view a contact on Gist. This is particularly handy for keeping track of contacts with multiple online identities (*ahem* Thomas MacEntee).
You can connect Gist with Gmail, Outlook and Lotus Notes to keep track of the folks you email the most. You also can link it to your Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter accounts and it will start tracking your connections on those services too. In addition, you can upload a .csv file with contacts who may not be covered by the services above.
The result when you are done is a one-stop shop for finding out what all your contacts are up to — from Tweets, to blogs to articles to Facebook posts. I'm going to start using it to keep track of the blogs I follow.
By connecting Gist with your email account, it also can help you track your current conversations with each contact. Alternatively, if you haven't heard from someone in a while, you can look them up on Gist to see what you've missed.
I've set up two separate profiles on Gist — one for my genealogy business (to help me keep track of blogs and my clients) and one for my work at the University of Maryland (mainly to help me keep up with my press contacts).
You can customize how you view your contacts by tagging and rating them. Gist can store email addresses, phone numbers and multiple links associated with each contact.
You can create a public profile and then start connecting with other Gist members as well. I have not gotten this far yet, but assume it would lend yet another layer of depth to the amount of information this tool can offer to you.
There are several tutorials available on using Gist features. I recommend checking out the Gist blog and Twitter feed if you're interested in learning more. You should read their privacy policy too, if you have concerns about giving access to your information.
Here's my public profile on Gist: http://gist.com/baysideresearch

Started my nights and so far its been the usual mix of urgent admissions with chest infections, emergencies with falls at home, falls in the pub, assault with a baseball bat and a transfer.
One of the falls in a pub was to a 14 year old male. On arrival scene we made our way into the pub to be greeted by a throng of kids ranging from nappie age to late teens. Our patient was lying on the floor and appeared to be in agony. About four feet away from us were kids playing on the pub pool table.
Casting a wary eye around our surroundings (was this a parallel universe with Bugsy Malone?) we could just make out some adults drinking at the bar. One came over and started shouting that the young lad on the floor had broken his leg! Before we could ask any questions we were interupted by a woman who was shouting that the young lad was putting it on! This was mum & dad!
My crewmate tried to speak to the patient but the shouting between mum and dad was getting louder and louder. I found myself acting as referee and imagined myself to be Jeremy Kyle…"theres two sides to every story." I was starring in my own chav reality show! Things were quickly getting out of hand with argument and counter argument being thrown around. (I wondered when the tables and chairs would be next?)
To change the subject I asked what the occasion was, to which I was told that it was a kids birthday party…a four year olds! In a pub! All the adults appeared to be worse for wear. The birthday boy was stood next to me…all 2 foot and a peanut of him. Holding his pool cue and looking at us with suspicious eyes. He was dressed in the chav uniform…trainers, trackie bottoms and football shirt but no no baseball cap. He was however wearing a gold chain that Mr. T would have been proud of.
We managed to extricate ourselves and the patient from the pub to the truck and transported him to the A/E. With mum giving it loads about the doctors in A/E not giving a stuff about her son last year when he fell off a moped!
The thing that sticks in my mind is that these so called adults were showing their offspring how to behave…ie get drunk, shout and bawl and generally aim low in life and they still fail to attain that target!
Shall we just surrender now?

Mrs. Laura Bush Presents Picturing America to Edna Karr Senior High School in New Orleans
Students and Mrs. Bush Use Picturing America Images in History Lesson
Mrs. Laura Bush visited Edna Karr Senior High School in New Orleans, La., today to celebrate its recent award of Picturing America, a new education initiative from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Launched with the support of President and Mrs. Bush in February 2007, Picturing America is an innovative, free resource that provides educators with an engaging way to teach American history and other subjects through significant works of American art. Award recipients receive 40 reproductions of great American art and an illustrated teachers resource book with lesson plans. A comprehensive Web site, PicturingAmerica.neh.gov offers additional resources and information about the artists, artwork, and more.
During an assembly, Mrs. Bush spoke to students about the importance of knowing the events and people that have shaped America's history and explained Picturing America's mission to tell the story of America through its art.
"America has a proud past and a bright future. But we must safeguard it by educating young people about the values that make us who we are," said Mrs. Bush. "Picturing America is achieving this goal by making 40 iconic American images available to schools and libraries across the United States."
Earlier this morning, members of Edna Karr's senior class joined Mrs. Bush for a lesson demonstration with several well-known images in the Picturing America collection. Using notable American paintings such as Emanuel Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware and Norman Rockwell's Freedom of Speech, The Saturday Evening Post 1943 and photographs like James Karales' Selma-to-Montgomery March for Voting Rights in 1965 and Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother, students, led by their history and English teachers, discussed how themes such as courage, leadership, equality, and democracy have shaped America's identity.
The lesson served as a preview of how Picturing America will enhance classroom activities at Edna Karr High School and 18 other New Orleans schools and public libraries this fall. In June, the NEH awarded Picturing America to more than 26,000 schools and public libraries nationwide, including 310 recipient institutions in Louisiana.
NEH Deputy Chairman Thomas K. Lindsay accompanied Mrs. Bush this morning to encourage other schools to apply for this free resource during the second application period currently taking place.
"Picturing America seeks to inspire learners of all ages to become more informed citizens and the Endowment would like to encourage teachers and librarians to apply," said Dr. Lindsay. "The NEH wants every school and public library across the nation to receive this program, and we are offering a second application opportunity to bring us closer to achieving that goal."
On Aug. 4, NEH announced the opening of its second application period for delivery of materials in spring 2009. All eligible schools (K-12, public, private, parochial, charter, and home school consortia) and public libraries that have not already received Picturing America may apply for the program through October 31, 2008, at PicturingAmerica.neh.gov. Please note that previous recipients of the Picturing America collection are not eligible for a second award.
The NEH wishes to thank the following: the American Library Association (ALA); the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Head Start; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Department of Defense Educational Activity; the National Park Service; Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Smith; the History Channel; and the National Trust for the Humanities.
Picturing America is distributed by the NEH in cooperation with the ALA. For information about the ALA, please visit www.ala.org.
About Picturing America
Public, private, parochial, and charter and home school consortia (K-12), as well as public libraries in the United States and its territories, are eligible to receive Picturing America materials. Interested schools and public libraries should submit an application by October 31, 2008, for receipt of the materials in spring 2009. Detailed instructions for submitting an application can be found in the 'Apply Now' section of the Picturing America Web site, PicturingAmerica.neh.gov.
