The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose to its highest level ever, erasing losses from the financial crisis after a four-year rally fueled by the fastest profit growth since the 1990s and monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve.
Almost $10 trillion has been restored to U.S. equities as retailers, banks and manufacturers led the recovery from the worst bear market since the 1930s. It took the Dow less than 65 months to rise above its previous high set on Oct. 9, 2007, more than a year faster than the recovery from the Internet bubble.
While the Dow has more than doubled in the four years since its bear-market low, its valuation remains 20% less than the price-earnings ratio at the previous peak and 15% below its 20-year average. Bulls say that's a signal stocks have room to keep rallying, while to bears it shows a lack of confidence in earnings growth and concern over the Fed's ability to continue spurring the economy.
"Psychologically, it may give a sense that we have recovered a tremendous amount from the depths of the crisis," Wasif Latif, the San Antonio-based vice president of equity investments at USAA Investments, said by telephone. His firm oversees $54 billion. "On the other hand, it could create a sense of nervousness that we reached an all-time high, so how much more is there to go?"
The 116-year-old Dow jumped 0.7% to 14,226.2 today at 9:40 a.m. in New York, climbing above the 14,164.53 record closing level it reached before the global financial crisis. It also eclipsed its previous intraday high of 14,198.1 from Oct. 11, 2007. The gauge plunged 34% in 2008 for the worst performance in 77 years as the housing bubble burst and the U.S. financial system required a government bailout.
Rally Leaders
American Express Co., Caterpillar Inc. and Home Depot Inc. have led the Dow's rally since its 2009 low, climbing more than 275% as the economy recovered from the worst recession in seven decades. Hewlett-Packard Co., the largest personal computer maker, is the only stock still in the 30-company gauge to fall since March 9, 2009. The shares tumbled 22% as mobile devices such as Apple Inc.'s iPad and iPhone began to compete with PCs. Exxon Mobil Corp., which has rallied 38%, is the second-worst performer since the gauge bottomed.
Bankruptcies and government bailouts helped make the Dow a different gauge than it was in 2007. Citigroup Inc., American International Group Inc. and General Motors Corp. were removed from the price-weighted average, while Cisco Systems Inc. and Travelers Cos. joined. Kraft Foods Inc., which took over AIG's spot, was replaced by UnitedHealth Group Inc. last year after the food-maker split in two.

You can tell it's football season, because on Monday we had to PUNT! More about that later.
Betty Schulte played the piano as we started our meeting. We had a full 10 tables, and caught up on the past week as we had our refreshments. Cindy Hunter, our program manager for the day, set the stage for the Rev. Ernie Flowers. Let me tell you a little about him. He has two children (both around 60 years old), which, according to his own words, makes him "older than dirt." Ha!

Streaking Scorpions walk off on Hanson's hit
Alen Hanson could feel the pressure of the moment as he stepped up to the plate in the 10th inning on Wednesday. The game was tied at 1 and Scottsdale had loaded the bases with no outs against Mesa right-hander Ryan Dull.View Full Game Coverage
Alen Hanson could feel the pressure of the moment as he stepped up to the plate in the 10th inning on Wednesday. The game was tied at 1 and Scottsdale had loaded the bases with no outs against Mesa right-hander Ryan Dull.View Full Game Coverage
Hanson embraced the challenge and pulled a single through the right side of the infield, driving in Gift Ngoepe from third for the game-winning run in the Scorpions' 2-1 victory at Scottsdale Stadium. The win extended Scottsdale's streak to five games.
"I knew I needed to execute," Hanson said through translator Luis Rivera. "I just got it done."
Hanson's game-winning hit completed the Scorpions' late comeback. Trailing the Solar Sox, 1-0, entering the bottom of the ninth, Tommy La Stella led off the inning with a triple off Robert Benincasa. A passed ball then allowed him to tie the game.
After John Cornely held Mesa scoreless in the top of the 10th, Scottsdale went to work against Dull in the bottom of the inning. Andrew Sucac led off the inning with a walk, and Ngoepe pinch-ran for the Scorpions' catcher. Kyle Kubitza followed with a single and Mason Williams was intentionally walked to bring up Hanson.
After missing several scoring opportunities early in the game, Hanson said the Scorpions weren't going to let another one slip away.
"We had a couple opportunities early in the game, but we didn't execute the right way," Hanson said. "This time we did. We kept playing hard. That's why we were successful at the end."
The Solar Sox's pitching staff kept the Scorpions in check for most of Wednesday's game. Left-hander Matt Purke allowed one hit and no runs in five innings, extending his scoreless-innings streak to 10. The Nationals' No. 8 prospect has allowed only an unearned run in his three starts in the Arizona Fall League.
But Mesa's hitters didn't have much more success against Scottsdale's pitching staff. Right-hander Hansel Robles threw four scoreless innings for the Scorpions.
The Solar Sox scored their lone run in the sixth inning against right-hander Juan Jaime. Steven Souza hit a one-out single and stole second and third base. Wes Darvill hit an RBI single to give Mesa what appeared to be the only run it would need.
Souza was the only member of the Solar Sox with multiple hits Wednesday. He went 3-for-4 and now leads the league with nine stolen bases in five games.
But it was La Stella and Hanson who were Wednesday's heroes. La Stella, the Braves' No. 14 prospect, finished the game 1-for-4. Hanson, the Pirates' No. 3 prospect, went 1-for-4 with a walk.
Hanson said he is working on all facets of his game while he's in the AFL. But the 21-year-old is paying extra attention to his defense, as he tries to prove he can be a shortstop in the Major Leagues.
"I want to get better in everything that needs work, especially on defense," Hanson said. "[The Pirates] asked me to get better on defense."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The federal judge overseeing the complicated court fight over publicity payouts between the NFL and retired players took the case under advisement Thursday, before deciding whether to give final approval to the $50 million settlement.
U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson heard arguments in his courtroom in Minnesota but gave no timetable for his decision on the settlement, which was reached in March between the league and the players. Magnuson gave preliminary approval in April. More than 2,000 players chose to opt out of the class action, less than 8 percent of the group, and another 19 filed objections to the settlement.
The lawsuit was originally filed in 2009, accusing the NFL of exploiting identities of retired players in highlight films and memorabilia. Two splinter lawsuits involving players who opted out were filed against NFL Films in September in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but Magnuson halted them with the original case still pending.
The majority group pushing for approval comprises more than 25,000 players. One of their attorneys, Dan Gustafson, urged Magnuson to approve the settlement. Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown sat at the table with lawyers for that side.
"Even if you assume all these people opted out because they didn't like the deal, you don't have to protect these people, your honor. They'll get their day in court," Gustafson said. He added: "It's not a vote against a settlement. It's really a vote that they want to take a different path."
An appeal will come from whichever side Magnuson rules against.
Magnuson wrote in April that plaintiffs complaining about the settlement were being petulant "like children denied dessert." But the judge sharply questioned Gustafson on Thursday, asking him for evidence of how players in the class action will be directly benefited.
Those objecting argue that direct payments won't be made to the former players and that varying benefits will be unfairly distributed. They also expressed concern about the lack of a neutral party to guide administration of the funds.
Some $42 million will be distributed to a "common good" trust over the next eight years to help retired players with issues like medical expenses, housing and career transition. The settlement will also establish a licensing agency for retirees to ensure compensation for the use of their identities. The league will pay another $8 million in associated costs including startup money for the licensing agency.
The common good fund will be administered by a group of retired players approved by the court. The licensing agency will for the first time market retiree publicity rights in conjunction with the NFL, thereby making it easier for retired players to work with potential sponsors and advertisers.
The settlement only covers those players who are currently retired, but players who retire in the future will have the chance to utilize the newly formed licensing agency.
Mike Ciresi, one of the attorneys representing former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall and others who filed objections, argued that the NFL will be taken off the hook with the settlement. He said the actual value of the publicity rights has not been determined and should be worth more.
"At the end of the day, some of these players will get nothing. And the NFL will walk away with its asset, and once again the players will be on the short end of the stick," Ciresi said.

In October, we traveled to Turin, Italy, as delegates of Slow Food Redlands for an event known as Terra Madre.
This gathering is hosted by Slow Food International, and attendees and participants include farmers, artisan food producers, chefs, educators and activists from Slow Food chapters all over the world.
It was quite an honor to be chosen by Slow Food USA from the pool of applicants to represent our region.
Terra Madre, we learned, is a network.
More than 200,000 visitors witnessed this social movement to transform the food system to bring good, clean and fair food to all.
Leaders and members assemble every two years for the inspiration and awareness gained by convening with fellow advocates in the movement.
We were thrilled to experience Terra Madre because it offered a more tangible understanding and connection to the work of Slow Food.
The uniting theme focuses on small-scale, local economies based on food, agriculture, tradition and culture.
Highlights of our trip included hearing Vandana Shiva, the seed activist from India speak passionately about the importance of protecting our heritage seeds.
In her remarks at the opening ceremony, she said, "Life renews in seeds. Food begins with seeds. In India the word for seeds means `that from which life arises.' Today, the very source of life is being appropriated and privatized. A seed by its very nature gives. This apple seed doesn't say "give me a royalty or I won't give you the apple." Seeds give back and that's a problem for greed. A seed is not invented; it is millions of years of evolution, thousands of years of breeding. Every patent on a seed is a theft, it is biopiracy."
Alice Waters, chef and founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project said, "In schools we can reach all children, and if we feed all children delicious wholesome sustainable food it can become a right for all and not just a privilege. We know the unrelenting forces of `fast food nation' are indoctrinating our children, and that's why we need the universal and very-possible solution of an edible education."
Another highlight was hearing from Carlo Petrini, the founder of Slow Food.
He spoke passionately about the "slow revolution" serving as an example for the entire world.
He said we need to reclaim the true value of food; that it should not be reduced to a mere commodity, to be just merchandise.
In the process of industrializing our food system, we have left behind four important people: women, the elderly, indigenous peoples and farmers, and that it is precisely these people who will show us how to reclaim our food sovereignty and gastronomic heritage.
We listened to indigenous honey hunters from the mountains of southern India speak about their tradition of sustainable harvesting from the wild bees that pollinate the forest.
They sing to the bees while they lower themselves on handmade ropes down the face of steep cliffs where the hives are located.
We heard about the importance of the issue of food waste.
Preventing it is one of the first steps toward fighting hunger.
When food is wasted, so is the land, water and energy used to produce it.
We learned about the concept of land grabbing, whereby foreign investors buy up arable land to produce crops for export, which leaves local farmers in many countries unable to produce their own food.
We heard from an Australian organic farmer who reported that conditions in his country are similar or worse than in the U.S. with respect to obesity rates and access to fresh produce.
Land grabbing is occurring largely in Africa and Central and South America, but is also affecting Australia.
Slow Food International has launched a global campaign to expose and stop land grabbing.
In Europe, Slow Food is working toward reforming their agricultural policy to promote sustainable production practices, biodiversity protection, encouraging local economies and respect for small-scale agriculture and natural resources.
Groups in California and the U.S. are working toward similar goals.
Salone del Gusto took place concurrently.
This massive international artisan food fair was actually the main attraction.
You could walk for what felt like miles sampling gourmet cheeses, desserts, breads, meats, wine, beer, liqueur, coffee, honey, olive oils and preserves of all kinds.
All these treats were also available for purchase.
Vendors were organized by region, with special attention given to Slow Food Presidia.
These are groups of producers working under the same parameters to protect an endangered food product, whether a type of plant, fruit, vegetable, animal, cheese, meat or beverage.
Understandably, the Italian section was the largest by far.
Artisan products from Sicily, Calabria, Piedmont, Liguria, Tuscany, etc. were all represented, often with the grower or producer him/herself standing there handing out samples or talking about their business.
Not to mention the date producers from Egypt and Libya, the herring fisherman from Norway, the coffee growers from Guatemala, black pepper from Malaysia, raisins from Afghanistan, honey wine from Poland and the list goes on and on.
We realize that our experience barely scratched the surface of what Terra Madre encompassed.
Overall, we were completely overwhelmed by the size and scope of the event, but I think that's the point.
Slow Food is such a broad-ranging grassroots movement that is takes a grandiose spectacle like this to bring it all into focus.
It provided us with a tangible connection between the work we are doing here in Redlands and the revolution that is occurring worldwide.
In Italy, food is life, food is health, food is family, friendship, tradition, wisdom and culture it embodies all these values that we so often take for granted.
What an appropriate birthplace for this movement and this remarkable event!
Dec. 10 was Terra Madre Day, Slow Food's anniversary! Celebrate eating locally!
Abby Harned represents Three Sisters Farm in Redlands, as well as Slow Food Redlands at slowfood.com

Fire truck, police cruiser damaged in separate accidents in ManchesterBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Sunday News
December 29. 2012 10:57PM
MANCHESTER - A fire truck and a police cruiser were involved in separate traffic accidents about three hours apart Saturday, authorities said.
The ladder truck could be out of service for up to two weeks after it collided with a car while returning from a call about 5:40 p.m., according to District Fire Chief Al Poulin.
Police Lt. Michael Hurley said he doesn't expect police to issue any citations.
"At this point, it looks like the driver of the fire truck is going to be found at fault," Hurley said.
The fire truck had just turned left from Harrington Avenue to go north on Calef Road when the crash occurred, he said, adding there is a stop sign on Harrington Street.
He said "weather did probably play a small role in the accident."
Meanwhile, a police cruiser with its emergency lights and siren activated collided with another vehicle at Beech and Bridge streets about 8:45 p.m., Hurley said.
Officer Michael Valenti was responding to an urgent call while heading south on Beech Street and collided with a 2003 Hyundai Accent driven by Joanne Lafleur, 63, of Weare, traveling west on Bridge Street. Lafleur was alone in her vehicle. Both drivers reported minor injuries. Both vehicles sustained front-end damage.
It was snowing at the time of the collision, Hurley said.
No one was taken to the hospital in either accident.
Poulin said the fire truck, which is based at the Merrimack Street headquarters, turned on to Calef Road.
A woman driving a car south on Calef Road "came up over the crest of the hill, couldn't stop and slid into the truck," Poulin said. "It was snowing pretty intensely; the ground was slick."
The front of the car ended up under the bumper of the fire truck, he said.
The fire truck's bumper was dented on the driver side, and it might take one to two weeks to acquire and install a replacement, he said.
A ladder truck from the Mammoth Road station will replace the damaged truck. Poulin said the accident is not expected to affect response times.

And that is pretty much what today boiled down to. Cotts. 2/3 of an inning and 5 runs…excuse me…EARNED runs that is. Good thing we have these games. I'd hate to see us give the ball to Cotts in a similar situation without having some idea of how he might perform. Actually, that's not fair. It's still Spring. But come on…5 ER on 8 batters faced? Not good.
Also, 10 men left on base? Not good. Always a pleasure to watch the guys, especially the unknown to see what this team is made of in a more complete sense, including the minors…but I hope this isn't the type of team we have this year. We need clutch hitting this year so let's hope it shows up when it counts.
Did I miss something? What did Frandsen do to deserve getting plunked by 2 pitches in a Spring game? Granted, the first one was on a lame pitch by Lilly that didn't break, but still. Regardless, just another reason to be thankful for Spring: getting our pitch control, well, under control. I thought Lilly looked good otherwise so that was good to see and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Soto throw out a guy attempting to steal as well as Pie going yard once again.
Piniella and Marquis apparently attempted to smooth things over. I liked hearing that Piniella said he was the kind of guy who admits when he's wrong. Nothing worse than having to perform everyday for a blow-hard who doesn't have that voice inside of him. Let him kick dirt at the umps and let's keep the team in check. I like Marquis' competitive nature but its way too early to be making comments like that. I like Marquis and if he can keep his head together, I'd love having a rotation of Zambrano, Lilly, Hill, Marquis, Dempster. But the club is real high on Marshall so there's probably a ton I don't know about him. Looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table this Spring, and also what Marquis learns to check at the door.
Here's to waiting to see if Soriano's fundamentally sound yet injured finger is truly a 5-day wait to having him back in the lineup. I know Piniella said that if his regulars can get about 70 at-bats in the Spring he's happy, but as a fan, I think the Winter was long enough. Time to get our Soriano/Ramirez fix and get those at-bats in ASAP.

Lawmakers grilled representatives of oil producers and refiners seeking an explanation for a rise in gasoline prices (NYMEX:RBQ13) at the pump amid a boom in U.S. oil production.
Senators at an Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing today complained that fuel exports and refinery shutdowns for maintenance cause regional price surges, while the head of refiner Valero Energy Corp. said local prices reflect global shifts in crude markets and blamed higher costs on the Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates ethanol use.
"Our people want to know why the flood of new domestic crude oil isn't lowering prices at the pump," said Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. "There is no question that the lower oil costs are not getting through to Americans' wallets."
Advances in drilling technology, including hydraulic fracturing, has revived U.S. oil production in states such as North Dakota and Texas, which reached 7.4 million barrels a day in April, a two-decade high, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Amid rising supplies, pump prices are increasing. Gasoline futures jumped to a four-month high, as unplanned refinery outages may crimp fuel supply. Gasoline for delivery next month rose 3.14 cents, or 1%, to $3.1343 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange today.
Gasoline Rising
Nationwide pump prices are the highest in a month after rising 2.2 cents to $3.635 a gallon, the AAA said on its website. The record high was $4.114 on July 15, 2008. Fuel demand in the U.S. is strongest from late May to Labor Day in early September, the prime vacation period.
In recent months, planned refinery outages or emergency shutdowns for maintenance in the West and Midwest triggered sharp increases in gasoline prices regionally, not tied to the global price of crude oil, lawmakers said.
"The fact that this price spike can happen without real supply and demand disruptions is disturbing," Senator Maria Cantwell, a Washington Democrat, said at the hearing.
The head of the independent EIA, Adam Sieminski, said that supply and demand is the main determinant of pump prices. The boom in U.S. oil production is helping to hold down global oil prices, and so is benefiting American consumers, Sieminski testified. Greater U.S. exports would actually help keep domestic prices lower by enhancing the global trend, he added.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An item found in an oil worker's carry-on luggage at the Anchorage airport was an improvised explosive device, or IED, an agent for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Tuesday.
The unidentified man told officials he uses the homemade explosive for avalanche control and didn't intend to bring it with him on the plane Sunday, the Anchorage Daily News reported (http://is.gd/tBbqq1 ).
"There was no malicious intent behind the possession of this," ATF agent Michael Graham said in an interview.
However, Graham said he hasn't ever received reports of IEDs used for avalanche control. He could not say whether the man made the device himself.
ATF agents found four similar devices in the man's home. If the agency determines they're "destructive," he could be charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device, Graham said.
The ATF plans to present its findings to the U.S. attorney's office in about a week, and prosecutors will decide whether to press charges. The man's name is being withheld pending a determination on possible charges.
The device led to an hourlong shutdown of airport security screening on Sunday. The man had a ticket for a Shared Services oil worker transport flight.
ConocoPhillips operates Shared Services, a co-venture between the company and BP that transports more than 20,000 employees and contract workers between Anchorage, Fairbanks and the North Slope each month, said Amy Burnett, a Conoco spokeswoman.
Burnett said she didn't know how many workers had tickets for the North Slope flight, but the plane could hold 136 people.
"I really can't speculate about what happened in this case or why the passenger had the device with him other than to say the investigation determined that he didn't intend any ill will," she said Tuesday.
Transportation Security Administration agents who found the device in the man's luggage cleared a 300-foot radius around the security checkpoint, officials say. Airport manager John Parrott said the airport wasn't evacuated because agents saw the device didn't have a detonator.

Whether or not the Open fits your needs, one thing is clear: Mozilla needs more capable hardware to demonstrate Firefox OS' potential. The Open is good for someone whose alternative would be a basic flip phone, but the camera quality, connectivity, display and performance don't do full justice to the software.
A promising start, but clearly better hardware is needed. I'm really hoping Firefox OS gets a fair shot.

Hello all!
I am a first time mom exclusively breastfeeding my almost 2 week old baby boy. After a rocky start, he is latching well. Our local hospital has an excellent lactation consultant on staff who has helped me out a lot, but I am still having some issues and wondering if you all could help me.
I was told that he should be nursing for periods of approximately 40 minutes each time at a frequency of every 2-3 hours. He consistently gives me hunger cues about every 2 hours and I nurse him.
The problem is that he often does not go for nearly 40 minutes. I am lucky if I can get 30 minutes and sometimes can only get him to nurse for 10 minutes.
The main problem seems to be that he falls asleep. I have tried stimulating his cheek, pulling his chin down, moving his arms, rubbing his back, etc. to get him to start nursing again but he is just not having it.
He also seems to have a frequent problem of spitting up after being fed. I've been trying to burp him at least twice during longer periods of feeding to help, but he will still spit up at times. Today, after a 10 minute session I burped him and I feel like almost all of what he had just taken in came back up.
I am very nervous that because I can not get him to feed for the 40 minute periods that my milk supply is going to decrease.
He is not showing any signs as of yet that he is not getting enough. He seems to have enough dirty/wet diapers per day. He was also back up above his birth weight after only 1 week and 1 day at his first pediatrician appointment. He was 7 lb 10 oz when born and was 7 lb 13 oz at 1 week 1 day.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I REALLY want to do this correctly to provide my son with breast milk as long as I can! Thank you all in advance.

It has been said that we are a little too pessimistic about the Knicks and that we complain a little too much. Well here are the top 10 complaints about the Knicks 5-0 start so far:
- Their record in the NBA may be 5-0 but against the point spread they are only 3-2.
- Anyone can win their games by double digits. How about winning by triple digits?
- Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby or Rasheed Wallace are all playing like they are old. I expected more triple doubles from these guys.
- If Melo is playing so well then why doesn't Woodson have him play all 48 minutes every night?
- They are playing well now but how well will they do when every player on the team suffers a debilitating injury.
- The Knicks are lucky to get to play opponents early in the season when they are not already in mid-season form.
- Most of their opponents are not taking these games seriously because they all assume that the season doesn't actually start until Christmas like it did last season.
- If Woodson is doing such a good job coaching wouldn't the Lakers have hired him over D'Antoni?
- Can you imagine how much better their record would be if they had kept Jeremy Lin?
- It's not fair that the Knicks are allowed to play games without Amare.

We approached Norton 360 with some trepidation, as previous Symantec products have been large intrusive suites that take over your laptop without so much as a by-your-leave, but we were in for a pleasant surprise.
It seems Symantec has listened to its critics and has written 360 from the ground up, with new code and with a footprint that is minimal and barely scratches your system resources. Symantec has made a fair amount of noise about the intrusive nature of the UAC in Windows Vista and it has deliberately taken steps to reduce pop-up fatigue.
Even better, when you let your laptop lie idle you can actually hear Norton spring into action with a certain amount of disc thrashing; then when you move your mouse it falls silent and returns the resources to the rightful owner, namely you.
This comprehensive suite is a reasonable 51MB download. The installation routine requires you to create a Norton account, so you can bet you'll be nagged to renew your subscription when your year is up. Although the £60 (inc. VAT) price seems quite high, it covers three PCs or laptops; however, we note the Americans are charged a mere US$79.99.
During installation, 360 made a strong suggestion that we uninstall ZoneAlarm to avoid conflicts and then ran a quick scan to check our system was uninfected; once that was complete it scheduled a back-up of our data. The great standout part of the software is the interface, which uses a traffic lights system similar to the Windows Security Centre, so first-time users should feel comfortable using it.
The only obvious attempt to crowbar cash from your pocket is the online data storage service, as you only get 2GB of space unless you pay for extra storage. Other than that, it's all good news and 360 has indeed proved to be a turn in the right direction for Norton.

Well, today is the 10th day I've been on Arava. Unlike people who use Arava as their primary RA medication and take 20 mg/day, I use it in conjunction with Enbrel and only take 10 mg/day.
It normally takes 4-5 weeks to see any benefit and I can attest to the fact that I'm seeing little, if any change. My hair hasn't started falling out yet, which I understand is a side effect. (One that I'm hoping to avoid as I'm on the lower dosage.)
The bursitis in my right hip might be a bit better, but it also might be just time for it to resolve itself, as most bursitis issues do. I've had it since last fall and I'm thinking that 6-7 months of it is more than I care to enjoy.
One difference I've noticed is that I'm really, really tired all the time. Methotrexate used to wipe me out when I took it. I'd be completely zonked out when I took it Friday evening, and I'd lose at least half of Saturday as well. As Arava is similar to MTX, I'm wondering if this daily dose isn't causing the fatigue.
We'll see.
On another note I saw a commercial for Cymbalta which is now been approved for chronic musculoskeletal pain, including that caused by osteoarthritis. I wonder if we might see some RA doctors prescribe it as well. Since it's not an NSAID, which I can't take, it might be worth a try. My major complaint isn't joint swelling as much as pain, so if I could get that relieved, I'd be much, much happier.
I'll keep you posted as I move forward with Arava. If this doesn't improve things, we're going to try something altogether new, so we'll see.
Hope whatever you try today is successful. Thanks for checking in.

For those of you who have already filed your taxes, looking at today's date is no big deal.
For those of you who have already filed your taxes, looking at today's date is no big deal.
But for those who haven't, noticing the dwindling number of days between now and April 15 may fill you with dread. Is that you? Are you running out of time — or money — for tax day? Then here's your cheat sheet for preparing your taxes when you're unprepared.
For taxpayers who aren't quite ready to file yet, whether because they have not received all of their documents, or haven't been able to get their business records in order for example, the taxing authorities offer an automatic six-month extension to file. To get an extension, you will need to notify them by filing extension paperwork on or before April 15. For your federal extension, you need to file Form 4868; for Pennsylvania form REV-276; and New York form IT-370. All of these forms are available on their websites. For an extension of the local tax (also known as "the Berkheimer"), send a copy of your federal or state extension form.
Sorry to break it to you, but an extension to file is not an extension to pay, so each taxing authority will expect a payment along with the extension if you will owe tax when you file. Essentially you'll need to do a rough cut of your tax return, estimate how much you will owe if anything, and send that along with the extension form. Estimate high, and if you overshoot, you'll get a refund when you do file.
Then you have a few options. In most cases the IRS will work with you on a payment plan or installment agreement. Penalties and interest continue to accrue while your balance is unpaid, though, and that can add up to a significant amount, depending on how much you owe and how long it will take to pay.
To apply for a payment plan, file your return as usual, and send as much of the balance due as you can. If your taxes plus penalties and interest are $50,000 or less, you can request an installment agreement for the rest by filing Form 9465 (either with your return or separately), or by applying online at http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Online-Payment-Agreement-Application.
There you will be asked how much you can afford to pay each month, and for your banking and employment information. The amount you propose to pay should be enough to pay off the debt within 72 months, including interest and penalties. If you owe less than $25,000, you can choose to send a monthly check or pay by direct debit; if you owe between $25,000 and $50,000 you must choose to debit your account.
There is a fee to set up the payment plan: $52 for direct debit; $105 to pay by check or payroll deduction; and $43 for low income taxpayers. If you owe more than $50,000 you may still be able to get an installment agreement but you must call the IRS directly to apply. A payment agreement request for less than $10,000 will not be denied as long as you have been compliant with tax laws for the past five years and will pay it off the tax within three years. Note that future refunds will be applied to your tax debt until it is paid off.
Some good news — if you will pay taxes within 60 days you won't be charged the set-up fee. Penalties and interest still apply however.
The failure to file penalty is steep, at 5 percent of your unpaid tax per month or any part of a month, to a maximum of 25 percent. For filing more than 60 days late, the penalty is the lesser of $135 or 100 percent of the outstanding tax. So be sure to file your extension. The failure to pay penalty on the other hand is "only" one half of 1 percent of your unpaid tax per month or any part of the month, again up to a maximum of 25 percent. You won't pay both however; the failure to pay penalty reduces the failure to file penalty.
Other ways to reduce your penalties: If you file an extension and pay at least 90 percent of your taxes by April 15 and pay the remainder by Oct. 15, penalties won't be charged. Filing on time and participating in an installment agreement reduces the failure to pay penalty to one quarter percent per month. And taxpayers facing financial hardships like unemployment or reduction in business income may be eligible to have their penalties waived by filing Form 1127-A.
In addition to penalties, you will be charged interest, which is figured by taking the federal short term rate (for April 2013 that is .22 percent) plus 3 percent, compounded daily.
Pennsylvania does not have a form or online application for a payment plan; instead you must call the Collection Unit at 717-783-3000 or visit a district office. The late penalty fee is 5 percent for the first six months, then an additional 5 percent per month with a maximum of 25 percent, plus interest, currently at 3 percent. You can estimate what your penalties and interest might be by visiting http://www.doreservices.state.pa.us/Individual/default.htm.
If you owe New York, you can request a payment agreement at www.tax.ny.gov/pay/all/ipa.htm. New York's penalties mirror the IRS, and you can estimate them at www8.tax.ny.gov/PAIC/paicGateway.
While the IRS does accept payments by credit card, it's not free, so if you want to pay by credit card to get the points, you may find the fee wipes out any benefit. Debit card payments come with a flat fee ranging from $2.99 to $3.99; credit cards will cost you between 1.89 percent and 2.35 percent with a minimum convenience fee ranging from $2.99 to $3.95. Your regular credit card interest rates will still apply to the balance; these are the fees the IRS charges.
You can see the options at http://www.irs.gov/uac/Pay-Taxes-by-Credit-or-Debit-Card.
For situations where paying the debt would cause financial hardship or when you can't pay, you may be eligible for an Offer in Compromise. This isn't something that's guaranteed by any means, nor is it something you should attempt without professional help. Find a tax professional with experience in this area to help you if you think you may be eligible. You can check the prequalifier on the IRS website at http://irs.treasury.gov/oic_pre_qualifier/ to see.

Dean's Message: Summer 2006
Found in Summer 2006 issue of UF Law magazine.
We already have an excellent law school. But what will it take to make us a truly great law school? The formula is actually quite simple. First, we must continue to enroll outstanding students. After all, our students are the future leaders of our profession, and they are the citizen-lawyers who will make lasting contributions to our communities, state and nation.
Second, we must recruit and retain an outstanding faculty — a community of highly skilled teachers who both instruct and inspire our students, and whose research and law reform efforts advance the welfare of our society and our system of justice.
Third, we must acquire the resources we need — both public and private — to do our job at the highest level. We cannot successfully compete at the very highest level if our perstudent spending remains at a very low level. Fortunately, as I reported to you in the fall, we are making progress in this area, thanks in large part to the generous support of our alumni and friends.
One of the reasons we must make dramatic improvements in our resource picture soon involves a historic challenge facing our college. During the next five years, at least 12 of our tenured faculty will retire. Among these faculty members are many individuals who inspired, motivated and prepared you for your careers — such as Fletcher Baldwin, Mike Gordon, Jerry Israel, Joe Little, Doug Miller, Jim Nicholas, Mike Oberst, Don Peters, David Richardson, Mary Twitchell and Walter Weyrauch.
The good news is we are optimistic many of these esteemed individuals will remain active in the intellectual life of our law school community. But the fact remains these retirements represent a full 20 percent of the tenured faculty — and some very big shoes to fill. Yet at the same time, this transition presents us with an opportunity that comes along only rarely in the life of an institution — to build the faculty that will lead our college for the next few decades.
One of the great stories in the history of our college is how a partnership of alumni, university leaders and the state faced the challenge of accreditation-threatening deficiencies in our facilities and created what is now regarded as among the very best academic space in the nation. We have already demonstrated with our recent hiring of both experienced and entry level faculty that we are able to recruit the top teachers and scholars in the nation to the University of Florida. I am confident we will meet the challenge presented by the forthcoming retirements of many distinguished faculty, and we will use this as an opportunity to build a law faculty that is second to none. Thank you for your help and support in this effort.

— "No Country for Old Men"
That summarizes well the late June Supreme Court decisions on gay unions. Effectively gutting the national Defense of Marriage Act and repressing the majority wishes of the electorate of California in support of marriage, the Court by separate 5-4 decisions left things a mess. But it could have been a bigger mess.
The Court did avoid inventing a constitutional right to gay unions, as it did in 1973 when it conjured up out of whole cloth a constitutional right to abortion. That means that in the far majority of states — 37 in all — the obvious remains in force: that marriage is for the creation and nurturing of a family in a union between a man and woman. Obvious in biological law, obvious in natural law and certainly obvious in sacred law.
Yet you can be sure the mess might still get here. The activists in support of gay unions took a day to celebrate their half mess then went back to work on the full mess. Next step? Probably a movement toward national legislation requiring all states to recognize gay unions blessed, so to speak, in the states where they are legal.
What is so ludicrous about this whole thing is that we have turned over the power to define marriage to secular thinking that has never known what to make of marriage. And when it pretends to know, it only makes a mess of it. We need only look to no-fault divorce laws — secular thinking's great marital reform in the last century — which led to the United States having one of thehighest divorce rates in the world.
Marriage, until very recently, was the demon to gay culture. As late as the turn of the millennium, gay advocates joined with other secular forces in considering marriage the enemy. Marriage to them was the source of a sick patriarchal culture that constrained their sexual expression by which they defined themselves. Leftist feminism wasn't far behind with its famous proclamation that a "woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." Marriage to them was the source of oppression. These are forces and the thinking that changed how the culture saw marriage.
The push for gay unions is not an issue of family and social cohesiveness; it is an issue of sexual identity demanding so-called equal rights to married rights under the tax code. And this push could gain support only in a secular cultural mindset where marriage has been redefined as having nothing to do with — or only incidentally to do with — sexual expression, procreation and the rearing of children.
Gay unions complete the equation that divorces marriage not only from sexual expression but from procreation. Which has had two devastating results that are wiping out the middle class — more than 40 percent and climbing rate of babies born outside of marriage and a whole new class of the poorest of the poor: single women with children. It is impossible to have a coherent philosophy of marriage based on a host of human values that are rooted in family — permanence, complementariness of man and woman, fidelity in the creation and nurturing of family from generation to generation — when we have removed those values from the equation.
Marriage is in a bad way. That is fact, not opinion. This destruction of marriage within our culture is the single greatest cause of so many of the pathologies that are sending us down a dangerous social path. Conversely, a married relationship between a man and a woman means everything to society because it means the future of society. Change that definition and you change that future. And then comes the real mess.

The VFW in St. James will host the first CARE event this Friday evening. CARE (Cancer Awareness Rally Events) is a local charity recently founded by Chad Picker of St. James after the passing of his father, Stanley Picker of St. James.
The VFW in St. James will host the first CARE event this Friday evening.
CARE (Cancer Awareness Rally Events) is a local charity recently founded by Chad Picker of St. James after the passing of his father, Stanley Picker of St. James.
Upon watching his father succumb to cancer, Chad has since pledged to spend his life helping others by hosting rallies and fundraising events for charitable cause. Although the main motivation for starting this charity was cancer, CARE will not limit its aid to only cancer causes.
For example, this event will also be the first-ever CARE Concert and will feature local bands Bad Wolf and Merkaba, who will come together to put on a show for the benefit of the disabled children at locally-operated Graystar, which is in need of having its handicap van repaired, which it uses for group field trips, daily outings and transport for its medical needs. Keep an eye out for flyers as the date gets closer, for more details.
CARE would like the surrounding area to know that it welcomes inquiries and aid requests. Every request will be deeply considered. Contact information is as follows:
Founder: Chad Picker
Address: 19825 County Road 1250 St. James, MO 65559
Phone: 573-263-0864
CARE would also like to take this time to ask for volunteers, venues, sponsors and donations to come forward.
At present, CARE is hoping for a new donated lawn mower or donated money to purchase a new mower to prepare for the mowing season and begin offering CARE Cuts, a lawn mowing service for hire, in which 10 percent of proceeds go to cancer awareness and victim relief efforts.
In the future, CARE Cuts may become available for free to those whose conditions qualify (such as: elderly, terminally ill or disabled). However, this service is subject to approval and funds availability.
Other services offered and events that people can look forward to seeing from CARE will be:
CARE Q's - public barbecues for cancer charity.
CARE Crawls - pub crawls for cancer charity.
CARE Collections - dedicated times and places for the collection of recyclables or needed goods.
CARE Cans - change collection canisters set out at local businesses.
CARE Crisis - aid, comfort and cleanup in the event of a local crisis.
CARE Fight Fairs - MMA entertainment events.
CARE Snow Clearings - snow and ice removal service.
CARE Flair - the sale of CARE advertisement and cancer awareness merchandise.
Hopefully much more to come in the future.
CARE would like to ask that the people of St. James and the surrounding areas embrace this charity and for everyone to remember that there isn't a single person out there whose life hasn't been touched by cancer or hardship.

College campuses are trying harder all the time to go green and stay there. Sustainable practices help keep universities control waste and cost and teach students the importance of lifelong care of their environment. Every year, the Sierra Club, one of the nation's chief environmental advocacy organizations, publishes a list of America's greenest colleges.
While no Catholic university or college made the top 10 list, six ranked in the top 100. They are Loyola Marymount University, No. 26, Santa Clara University, No. 32, Aquinas College (Mich.), No. 41, Seattle University, No. 70, University of Dayton, No. 76, and Marywood University, No. 91.
Colleges were required to self report in a rigorous survey. "To place high, schools had to rock every one of our survey's categories, from waging war on emissions to serving sustainable foods to teaching a verdant curriculum," examiners said. "None was perfect." But out of more than 2,000 U.S. four-year colleges and universities, making the list is a real accomplishment.

Hear me, pundits of platinum: the debt ceiling crisis doesn't require a technical solution. It requires a political solution.
Last time around, President Obama negotiated over the debt ceiling because he wanted a bi-partisan agreement to raise taxes and cut entitlements. Or, more specifically, he wanted to force the Republicans to raise taxes and to have them force him to cut entitlements. He couldn't get what he wanted.
Now, he's got his increase in top income tax rates. He still wants to be "forced" to cut entitlements, but it's not clear the President wants to use the debt ceiling increase to negotiate over that, in part because negotiating last time made him look weak. For that matter, it makes much more sense, in terms of the proper functioning of government, to have that negotiation over the budget and sequestration. (Frankly, the debt ceiling shouldn't exist at all – all the decisions about taxing and spending are made in the budget process, so it's silly to have a separate vote on borrowing.)
If the President is, in fact, interested in using the debt ceiling crisis to force him to do something he wants to do but doesn't want the blame for, as he was last time, then he shouldn't mint (or threaten to mint) platinum coins. He should just negotiate. And the current game of chicken is part of the negotiation – establishing that the Republicans are lunatics so that he can save the country from them with magnanimous compromise.
If the President is not interested in playing that kind of game, then his rational goals are either getting a clean increase in the debt ceiling (which would be good governance), or making the GOP look terrible for not simply giving him a clean increase in the debt ceiling (which would be good politics). If he stonewalls, then that choice is in the GOP's hands.
If the GOP doesn't give it to him, then, leaving platinum seignorage aside, the President is in a trap where all options are illegal – and whatever he does, he winds up in court. That'll be bad for the economy, but I can't really see how the President loses the fight, politically or legally. What's the Supreme Court going to say: yup, you can't refuse to spend the money and you can't spend the money because you don't have it, so you are hereby ordered to . . . do neither? Is the Supreme Court really going to say: get out of my court and go mint a platinum coin? Does anybody actually believe that? It strikes me as more likely that the debt ceiling itself would be struck down – which would also be a great outcome (and striking down the debt ceiling would do nothing to reduce Congress's power over taxing and spending).
So what does the "platinum option" achieve? Assuming it's legal (I doubt it), it lets the Republican Congress entirely off the hook, and therefore encourages their worst instincts. This was Ross Douthat's point yesterday, and I agree with him completely. Inasmuch as the markets are terrified of massive disfunction in Washington, it won't assure them either; it'll look like an escalation of the insanity.
If the debt ceiling didn't exist, the next showdown would be over the budget. If Congress can't pass a continuing resolution, the government shuts down. That could very well happen, and if it does then the political chips will fall where they may. The economic damage from a government shut down would be very similar to the economic damage from a debt-ceiling crisis that forced the government to "prioritize" paying interest on debt – there's not going to be a default on the debt. The main difference between a budget crisis and the debt ceiling crisis, then, is that, in the latter case, it's illegal (under the Impoundment Act) for the Executive not to spend the money that Congress has appropriated, so if President Obama starts sending out IOUs in lieu of payment (because Congress has forbidden him from getting the money that it has mandated he spend) he could be sued (or impeached). But, in a political sense, that's a feature not a bug.
Matt Yglesias has fallen in love with the platinum coin option because it reminds him of Roosevelt's decision to forbid private ownership of gold, which also utilized power designed for another purpose. But the two decisions are not analogous. Roosevelt's decision devalued the currency. It had direct economic consequences, and addressed an a substantive economic problem. A platinum coin would allow the Executive to escape from a legal trap set by Congress in which all possible actions are illegal, but it would have no economic consequences at all – it wouldn't increase spending or the money supply. It can only be, if it is anything, a political solution to a political problem. It's not analogous to Roosevelt's action. A better analogy would be if President Andrew Johnson, instead of firing Edwin Stanton (violating the unconstitutional Tenure of Office Act, triggering impeachment), had simply refused to speak to Stanton and instead cast a statue of Lorenzo Thomas out of platinum and pretended he was Secretary of War in cabinet meetings.
The platinum coin option strengthens the Republican extremists' hands in a negotiation over the budget, and does nothing to protect the economy from a budget crisis that would look very similar to the debt ceiling crisis. So what's the point of it?

Teamwork proved to be a key factor for the winning team in the 21st annual Partners for Youth golf tournament at the Lancaster Golf Club on Friday afternoon.
The winning foursome teamed for a 51, which forced a card playoff and an eagle on the third playoff hole, No. 5, gave it the win.
"It was all a team effort," said Greg Gates of the winning team sponsored by McKittrick Timber. "We all made some key putts and we all had some key drives."

South of Boston
The eclectic South of Boston region marches to the beat of its own drummer, and that drummer likes history, beaches, and unexpected art. Live like the Pilgrims did (or at least make candles like they did) at Plimoth Plantation, a living-history museum where it's always 1627 (i.e. nobody is texting!). Check out the New Bedford Whaling Museum or, even better, check out some actual whales, in the very place that inspired Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Go to the Art Complex Museum for the classic Shaker furniture, and stay for the Japanese tea ceremony. See? We told you it was unexpected. Regardless, enjoy the natural beauty and charm of the South Shore.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A federal judge in Rhode Island has agreed to let a lawsuit move forward against the Roman Catholic religious order the Legion of Christ, turning down an attempt by the disgraced order to end the lawsuit brought over a late Yale University professor's $1 million bequest.
U.S. District Judge Ronald Lagueux signed an order last week to adopt a magistrate judge's recommendation that the lawsuit be allowed to proceed. The decision does not address the merits of Paul Chu's claims, only whether he has standing to sue.
It's the second lawsuit making its way through the courts in Rhode Island that raises questions about how the Legion secured large donations from elderly supporters. The other is in state court and involves around $60 million left by a wealthy widow. It was dismissed because the judge found the woman's niece did not have standing to sue, but a state Supreme Court appeal is pending.
In the federal lawsuit, Chu, the son of retired mechanical engineering professor James Boa-Teh Chu, says his father was wrongly coerced, defrauded and deceived into signing over $1 million to $2 million to the Legion before he died in 2009. He says his father, who lived in East Providence, R.I., was led to believe the Legion's founder, the late Rev. Marcial Maciel, was a saint, even as the Vatican was investigating serious sexual abuse allegations about him.
The Legion denies the allegations and has said it doesn't pressure anyone to contribute.
"The Legion has behaved correctly in relation to Mr. Chu and expects to prevail in the case," Paul Fair, a Legion spokesman, said in an email Thursday.
Chu's lawyer, John Flanagan, said they looked forward to having a "full, long jury trial to determine the issues."
Chu's father was a member of the Legion's lay movement, Regnum Christi. The magistrate judge found that he held a "deep regard for the sanctity of Father Maciel" and that after his death, his son found documents that he believes show evidence that Legion officials fostered that image even as a Vatican investigation was uncovering troubling facts about Maciel.
The investigation ultimately found that he had sexually abused seminarians and fathered at least three children with two women. The Vatican took over the order in 2010. A three-year reform effort was ended last week by the pope's envoy.
