Stan Collender's blog
One of the ideas discussed during the fiscal cliff debacle in late 2012 and early 2013 to deal with the GOP's intransigence on raising the federal debt ceiling was the platinum coin trick.
The idea was pure genius. Using previously-granted legal authority, the Treasury would mint a platinum coin with a face value of $1 trillion and would sell that coin to the Federal Reserve which would then credit the U.S. government with the cash. That would eliminate the need for additional government borrowing any time soon and...presto...the White House's debt ceiling problem would go away.
The White House eventually said no to the platinum coin trick by saying that it didn't have legal authority to do the sale. It also became apparent when the administration rejected the other debt ceiling escape hatches like the 14th amendment that the White House's political strategy was to keep the pressure on congressional Republicans by making them deal with the one and only debt ceiling process: voting on it.
The budget conference committee that's been meeting sporadically since last month was given until December 13, that is, until a week from this Friday, to agree on some kind of deal.
So what happens if there is no agreement by December 13?
Absolutely nothing.
Like Seinfeld, which was a TV show about nothing, December 13 is the budget deadline that's about nothing.
Yes, there will be headlines about how another budget-related committee, task force or working group -- think about the Bowles-Simpson (or BS) commission, the anything-but-super committee, and all of the other botched negotiations that have taken place the past few years -- has failed. That's bound to hurt a congressional approval rating that last week fell to its lowest level in history (see question 3) and doesn't have much further to fall.
I've been talking for months about how the Grand Bargain or Big Deal that's always mentioned whenever there are budget talks in Washington won't happen until 2019 at the earliest.
I first posted about 2019 in June and have mentioned it a number of times on television and radio and in speeches since then.
I've also been told that my analysis recently made the big time when a group of the most senior tax lobbyists in Washington discussed it at a private meeting (It's not clear whether they were happy about having six more years to work on issues or sad that nothing much would be done before the end of this decade at the earliest).
Each time I've talked about 2019 I've gotten reactions that range from shock to amazement. No one ever tells me I'm wrong; they just shake their heads in disbelief.
So once again, here's are the top 10 reasons we're likely facing six more years of crisis-by-crisis budgeting in Washington and no Grand Bargain any time soon.
By changing it's rules yesterday to prevent filibusters on executive branch and judicial nominees (other than the Supreme Court) -- the so-called nuclear option -- the Senate further complicated a federal budget debate that was already overly complicated and had little chance of success.
Although it's still less likely than likely, the prospects for a government shutdown in January increased significantly. Based on yesterday's action, I have increased the possibility that funding for the federal government will not be adopted by the time the current continuing resolution expires to 40 percent.
And the likelihood for sequestration to occur as scheduled in mid-January also jumped significantly.
Here's why.
1. In general terms, the federal budget debate in recent years has always been more emotional than rational and far more political than substantive. The emotions and politics were significantly ramped up yesterday.
Eminent economist Martin Feldstein, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors during the Reagan Administration, had an op-ed in The Washington Post earlier this week that shows he just doesn't understand what's happening with the budget conference.
Here's the money quote:
The key to a political compromise is to recognize that raising revenue does not require increasing tax rates. Substantial revenue could be raised by limiting the government spending built into the tax code."
Feldstein accurately notes that this would give congressional Democrats enough of what they want in a budget deal to agree to changes in mandatory programs, especially "slowing the growth of Social Security and Medicare."

Technology is constantly changing how we communicate. Until a few years ago, GSCB published The Bay Window, a printed newsletter for parents, volunteers and other members of our community. Today, we use our website, Facebook, Twitter and electronic newsletters to share information in addition to printed brochures. This new electronic publication – gsfamily – is designed to provide information that families need to make decisions regarding programming and activities for their Girl Scouts. While troops are still the backbone of Girl Scouting, we know that troop leaders and families are busy – so we wanted to make sure parents have a direct link to information. gsfamily will be published bi-monthly and distributed via email. Issues will be available on our website and Facebook page too. We hope you find this resource useful!
If there are any topics you would like to see covered, if you would like to share pictures and information from your Girl Scouts' activities, or if you have any feedback on this or other council communications, please contact Jennifer Acord, Communications and Advocacy manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Anne T. Hogan
Chief Executive Officer
Girl Scouts throughout the Delmarva Peninsula are bringing cheer to others during the holiday season. Troop 537 held their annual Toys for Tots event at Gallaher Elementary School. Local troops were invited to bring toys and participate in holiday activities. Marines came to pick up the Toys and talk to the girls about the importance of the program. Troop 838 decorated a Christmas tree at the Connections Empowerment Center in Wilmington,
and returned to play bingo with the program's clients.
Many Girl Scouts and adult volunteers from several service units participated in Stockings for Soldiers for the ninth year. More than 10,000 stockings stuffed with goodies were sent to soldiers
in Afghanistan. The girls helped stuff stockings, made snowman soup, cards and checkers games, repaired boxes and sprinkled glitter on the stockings. Dr. Jill Biden, well known for her support of U.S. military families, visited the Stockings for Soldiers headquarters.
Let us know what your girls are doing! Email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll share your Girl Scouts' projects on our Facebook page or in a future edition of gsfamily.

Congratulations to Girl Scout Ambassador Hannah Zimmerman (pictured with GSCB CEO Anne T. Hogan.) for her selection as GSCB's nomination for the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Program. As GSCB's nominee, Hannah receives a certificate of achievement and moves on to the state-level judging. A 12th grader from Newark, she combined her love of reading and art into her Girl Scout Gold Award. She created a reading corner at Holy Angels School and started a read-a-thon. Hannah invited grades
1-4 to participate in the read-a-thon. Seventy students participated, reading over 700 books.
In addition, four Girl Scouts received Certificates of Merit: Lauren DeRocili, Sarah Hartman, Melissa Matsanka and Kelsi Ronning. (Sarah and Kelsi are pictured here, left to right.) This program recognizes middle school and high school youths based solely on their volunteer work in their community. GSCB, along with local schools and other community organizations, nominates students every year.
The Women of Distinction program is a wonderful leadership opportunity for teen Girl Scouts. Girl Scout Cadettes (Grade 8 only), Seniors and Ambassadors are invited to mix, mingle and make connections with the Delmarva Peninsula's elite businesswomen and government officials at these signature events. Girls serve in leadership positions that make this event successful – including Mistress of Ceremonies, flag presenters and greeters.
Northern Women of Distinction: Tuesday, March 12, 2013, Hotel du Pont, Wilmington, DE. The honoree is Brigadier General Carol A. Timmons of the Delaware Air National Guard. Honorary Co-Chairs are Attorney General Beau Biden and Mrs. Hallie Biden. Application deadline for the Northern Women of Distinction event has been extended to January 11, 2013.
Lower Shore Women of Distinction: Friday, April 12, 2013, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Girls attending the Northern Women of Distinction event must participate in the Powerful First Impression workshop on February 23, 2013. Girls participating in the Mid-Shore and Lower Shore Women of Distinction programs are invited to Powerful First Impression but it is not required.
Advocacy is all about keeping our government officials informed about issues important to Girl Scouting. We are grateful when our federal, state and local officials spend time with our girls! Recently, State Senator Bethany Hall-Long participated in the Middletown Christmas Parade with girls from Service Unit 13. State Senator Bryan Townsend discussed recycling and environmental issues with girls from Troop 838 in Newark. Every March, we bring girls to Dover, DE for Delaware Legislative Day, which includes meeting with Honorary Troop 1912, comprised of the women representatives and senators in the Delaware General Assembly, led by Senate President Pro Tem Patricia Blevins. And in 2012, Girl Scouts visited Wilmington City Council, New Castle County Council and other local government meetings. If your troop meets with your local officials, we'd love to hear about it. Or, if you'd like to be involved in GSCB advocacy events and initiatives, please contact Communications and Advocacy Manager Jennifer Acord at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Did you know that GSCB has its own badges, designed just for our girls? This month's feature is the Roots and Shoots badge, adapted from the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots & Shoots Program. The Roots & Shoots mission is to foster respect and compassion for all living things, to promote understanding of all cultures and beliefs and to inspire each individual to take action to make the world a better place for the environment, animals and the human community. All Roots & Shoots members, from pre-K to university, demonstrate their care and concern for all living things through service projects in their community. The badge is available for Girl Scout Brownies, Juniors, and Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. (Image shown is the Roots & Shoots badge for Girl Scout Juniors.)

Final plans shaping up for plaza
ALPENA – Local officials and residents of Alpena will be able to get an update on the design plans for a future plaza in downtown Alpena. The Michigan State design team is going to unveil updated designs, which were crafted via community suggestions and visions, during the gathering today at Art in the Loft.
Downtown Development Authority Director Lesslee Dort said the event today will be one of the final steps in the design process. She said she already has seen the updated designs and people are going to be shocked at how the designs fit with Alpena and the downtown area.
"It is really a culmination of what came from the planning charette at the end of last year. We are going to see the result of that," Dort said. "The designs are really cool and people are going to want to see them. There are a couple of different options, but I think the most exciting part is how it just fits.
"Once I saw what they have planned you could see the different areas of the communities input, which is really cool. It just looks like it belongs."
If the plaza is built, it likely is going to be constructed in the parking lot behind the Owl Cafe where there are many businesses that can benefit from the foot traffic generated from the plaza. Dort said for the most part the business community is supportive of a plaza downtown and is excited to see the plans.
"I think the vibe is more positive now because people are starting to understand the difference between a plaza and a park," Dort said. "That has been one of the hurdles, because a lot of people don't understand what a plaza does. They don't understand how critical to a community to have a place for the residents to hang out. It will be fantastic for our guests and visitors to have some place to go, but it is more for the people who live here."
The designs for a plaza were made possible when Alpena was named as one of four cities to receive a grant from the Michigan Municipal League for possible projects. Dort said just because the plans are being made doesn't mean it is a sure thing the plaza will be built, although she thinks it would be a benefit to residents as well as the local economy.
"I think there is another misunderstanding and that is people thinking we are going to build a plaza and we haven't decided to build it," Dort said. "We decided to take advantage of a grant and we were one of four out of 32 cities who applied. Because of the way the chips fell we had it designed before we made a decision to have one built. I think part of this is we are allowing ourselves to dream. It doesn't mean it will be built. Let's just keep our minds open to this economic development tool and that is what it really is."
Today's event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and there will be a presentation about how Alpena was selected and what criteria were measured for Alpena to be considered for the grant. Dort said the design team will return in six to eight weeks with the final plans.

Change or lighten up the weight on your clubs to ease up on some of that body pain!
Did you purchase new equipment or have your existing golf clubs altered and all of a sudden have tennis elbow or pain in or around your shoulders? If so, you might want to consider a change and lighten up on the weight of the golf clubs.
What is the cause of tennis elbow? The root of the problem is using a racket that is too heavy to swing. The same thing can occur with a golf club that is too heavy for a golfer. Other muscles can be affected too that can be strained or worsened over repeated action as there is a lot of centrifugal forces acting upon the arms and body when swinging a golf club.
I confess I like to experiment with golf equipment. As a matter of fact, it has been more than a decade (maybe much longer) since I went out and played the exact set of clubs or configuration. I guess that is the hazard of my duties as a technical director at a golf club component company. Recently I decided to add weight to the heads of my golf irons and golf wedges to make them quasi-MOI matched to my #5-iron rather swingweight matched. In a nutshell, it makes the clubs have a progressively heavier swingweight (roughly 0.5 point per club) as they become shorter.
While that doesn't seem like a lot of weight (I think the PW needed 3 swingweights or a little more than 6 grams), it did take its toll on my rotary cuff. After a couple of rounds of golf and a trip or two to the range, I was experiencing pain I hadn't had before. That small amount of weight was compounded as it was located 3 feet from my wrists and another 2 feet from my shoulders. While I did strike the ball quite well with the added weight it just wasn't worth the soreness that lingered. The experiment ended and a lesson learned that I thought I might share with you.

Ann Kirkpatrick on Budget & Economy
Opponent's Argument for voting No:Rep. MAFFEI: The American people want us to work together--Republicans and Democrats--to reduce our debt, pay our bills, and avoid an economic catastrophe, which would result from default. This legislation presumes it will happen and maps out not if but what happens when the United States defaults. Their plan ensures that foreign creditors such as China, Japan, and OPEC countries Iran and Saudi Arabia would continue to get paid while we halt other payments to groups of Americans who have earned those benefits. This bill prioritizes Chinese lenders ahead of American seniors and veterans and college students. That's why it's called the Pay China First Act.
White House statement in opposition:American families do not get to choose which bills to pay and which ones not to pay, and the United States Congress cannot either without putting the nation into default for the first time in its history. This bill would threaten the full faith and credit of the United States, cost American jobs, hurt businesses of all sizes and do damage to the economy. It would cause the nation to default on payments for Medicare, veterans, national security and many other critical priorities. This legislation is unwise, unworkable, and unacceptably risky."
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. LEWIS (D, GA-5): This bipartisan bill will provide the necessary funds to keep important transportation projects operating in States around the country. The Highway Trust Fund will run out of funding by September. We must act, and we must act now.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. CAMP (R, MI-4): [This interim spending is] needed because the Democrats' economic policy has resulted in record job loss, record deficits, and none of the job creation they promised. Democrats predicted unemployment would top out at 8% if the stimulus passed; instead, it's 9.5% and rising. In Michigan, it's above 15%. The Nation's public debt and unemployment, combined, has risen by a shocking 40% [because of] literally trillions of dollars in additional spending under the Democrats' stimulus, energy, and health plans.
We had a choice when it came to the stimulus last February. We could have chosen a better policy of stimulating private-sector growth creating twice the jobs at half the price. That was the Republican plan. Instead, Democrats insisted on their government focus plan, which has produced no jobs and a mountain of debt.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. PETER WELCH (D, VT-0): Citigroup supports this bill. Why? They're a huge lender. They understand that we have to stabilize home values in order to begin the recovery, and they need a tool to accomplish it. Mortgages that have been sliced and diced into 50 different sections make it impossible even for a mortgage company and a borrower to come together to resolve the problem that they share together.
Sen. DICK DURBIN (D, IL): 8.1 million homes face foreclosure in America today. Last year, I offered this amendment to change the bankruptcy law, and the banking community said: Totally unnecessary. In fact, the estimates were of only 2 million homes in foreclosure last year. America is facing a crisis.
Opponent's argument to vote No:
Sen. JON KYL (R, AZ): This amendment would allow bankruptcy judges to modify home mortgages by lowering the principal and interest rate on the loan or extending the term of the loan. The concept in the trade is known as cram-down. It would apply to all borrowers who are 60 days or more delinquent. Many experts believe the cram-down provision would result in higher interest rates for all home mortgages. We could end up exacerbating this situation for all the people who would want to refinance or to take out loans in the future.
Rep. MICHELE BACHMANN (R, MN-6): Of the foundational policies of American exceptionalism, the concepts that have inspired our great Nation are the sanctity of private contracts and upholding the rule of law. This cramdown bill crassly undercuts both of these pillars of American exceptionalism. Why would a lender make a 30-year loan if they fear the powers of the Federal Government will violate the very terms of that loan?
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. DAVID OBEY (D, WI-7): This country is facing what most economists consider to be the most serious and the most dangerous economic situation in our lifetimes. This package today is an $825 billion package that does a variety of things to try to reinflate the economy:
Opponent's argument to vote No:
Rep. JERRY LEWIS (R, CA-51): Most of us would agree that the recent $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is an illustration of how good intentions don't always deliver desired results. When Congress spends too much too quickly, it doesn't think through the details and oversight becomes more difficult. The lesson learned from TARP was this: we cannot manage what we do not measure. We cannot afford to make the same mistake again.
Sen. THAD COCHRAN (R, MS): We are giving the executive branch immense latitude in the disbursement of the spending this bill contains. We are doing so without any documentation of how this spending will stimulate the economy. Normally, this kind of information would be contained in an administration budget. For items that have a short-term stimulative effect, most of us will feel comfortable debating their merits as an emergency measure. But there is a great deal of spending that is not immediately stimulative.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. BARNEY FRANK (D, MA-4): Last year, after we responded to the urgent pleas of the Bush administration to authorize the $700 billion deployment of Federal funds to unstick the credit markets, many of us became very unhappy, [because Bush] repudiated commitments to use a significant part of the fund to diminish foreclosures. If we do not pass this bill today, we will make no progress in what is the single biggest economic problem we've been facing, namely, the foreclosure crisis.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. RON PAUL (R, TX-14): There has been a lot of money spent to try to bail out the financial industry, and nothing seems to be working. I think it's mainly because we haven't admitted that excessive spending can cause financial problems, & excessive debt and inflation can cause problems.
Actually, the recession is therapy for all of the mistakes, but the mistakes come, basically, from a Federal Reserve system that's causing too many people to make mistakes. Interest rates are lower than they should be, so they don't save. That contributes to what we call "moral hazard" as well as the system of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac system. With the assumption that we're all going to be bailed out, people say, "Well, no sweat because, if there is a mistake, the government will come to our rescue." A private FDIC would never permit this massive malinvestment. There would be regulations done in the marketplace, and there would not be this distortion that we've ended up with.
Bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow the expensing of certain real property. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow small business taxpayers with gross receipts of $5 million or less to elect to expense certain depreciable real property in the year such property is placed in service. Limits the amount of such expensing allowance to $125,000, adjusted for inflation after 2009.

This game is sick. FPS + RPG. 4 different character classes each with 3 separate skill fields to choose from. Everytime I play, everyone on my XBox friend list is only playing this game (except Bill the Butcher who keeps playing Beatles Rock Band, heh). Picked up an Eridian alien gun that does almost 900 damage. Couple good rocket launchers as well. I chose the chick for my character because she can go invisible and have found that her elemental skills are awesome. Love the corrosive guns and watching bodies melt away from the acid.
Post your sweet guns here.

Week 7...We're getting down to the end of the regular season and now each game has major playoff implications.
For those who may not know, the IHSA requires a team to win at least 5 games to be ELIGIBLE for the playoffs. Six wins clinches a postseason berth and five wins has historically gotten teams into the playoffs depending on the number of playoff points (read: strength of schedule). Simply, teams need to get to the five-win mark to have a shot.
So with that in mind, here's what on the line for our local teams in Week 7
Rochelle at Sycamore: With a win, the Spartans would get that elusive fifth victory after losing two consecutive games at home. Sycamore faces a tough Week 8 matchup against Kaneland so a win tonight would ease the pressure going into the last two weeks.
DeKalb at Moris: Pride. After being eliminated from the playoffs last week, DeKalb's young team is playing to gain experience and be a spoiler. Morris is undefeated and ranked No. 1 in Class 5A.
Kaneland at Yorkville: The Knights have been rolling the last couple weeks and all signs point to a battle of 8-0 teams when Kaneland meets Morris in Week 9. The Knights have made the state semifinals the past two years and another undefeated regular season would give them an easier path to finally make the state championship.
North Boone at Genoa-Kingston: At 2-4, the Cogs need to win out to make the playoffs. North Boone is one of the better teams in the conference, but the Cogs have shown improvement over the past month. A win keeps their playoff hopes alive, a loss leaves G-K out of the postseason for another year.
Alden-Hebron at Hiawatha: The Hawks will play against an under-manned, but talented Alden-Hebron squad. Coach Sean Donnelly said this is the best chance Hiawatha has had against A-H since joining the conference and they too will need a win for any chance at making the playoffs.
We'll see you under the lights!

Cash & Carry To Close
A liquidation sale will start today at the Cash & Carry because the business will be closing.
Jim Sirianno, Cash & Carry owner, said there will be a 20 percent discount sale on meats, deli selections, frozen food items, dairy products and paper suppliers.
"We're starting a liquidation of the inventory starting this week," he said. "We have a lot of inventory in the warehouse we will be bringing over. Some inventory is from the Mr. Salvage operation."
Sirianno is an area business entrepreneur. Along with the Cash & Carry, he also once operated Mr. Salvage, which had several locations in the area. The last location was 20 Steele St., which was the former Evan's Skateland. The Mr. Salvage was closed last year and renovated into Riverwalk Self Storage. Sirianno said the closing of the Cash & Carry will have no effect on the Riverwalk Self Storage business, which he also owns.
Sirianno said once the inventory has been sold, a second liquidation phase will be held to sell fixtures and large equipment.
"I think it will take about 60 days to wind things down," he said.
Changes in the marketplace led to the decision to close.
"The competition is too stiff," he said. "We got to the point we couldn't sustain it anymore. I made the decision to close the operation and move toward leasing the building."
With the business closing, Sirianno said the most difficult think is letting go of the employees.
"We had a really good crew of people working there. It is tough to let them go," he said. "A couple months ago, we had 10 employees. Now we just have a few people working there for the liquidation."
Sirianno said this is the first time in 20 years he will not be operating a retail business. He said, if the business climate changes, he may return to operating a retail store.
"I would like to say, 'Thanks,' to all the customers," he said. "I've met a lot of good people and hope to see them again someday."
The Cash & Carry is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Sirianno purchased the Cash & Carry in 2009 after Sysco, which used to operate the business, closed its Jamestown distribution plant.

Union College recently presented Excellence in Education Awards to seven local professionals. The awards have recognized outstanding careers in Knox County since 2011.
Winners for this class include Brittney Smith of Knox County Middle School; Elizabeth (Jean) Bingham of Central Elementary; Krista Mills of Barbourville Independent School; Lee Edward Campbell of Knox Central High School; Paul Middleton of Barbourville Independent School; David Jackson of Knox Central High School; and Kay Dixon of Barbourville Independent School. Each recipient was chosen based on a strict set of criteria after finalists were selected from a large pool of nominees. Winners are active teachers and administrators who have made significant contributions to the teaching profession.
Smith, a special education teacher at Knox County Middle School, received the Dr. Mary Alice Lay Teacher Leader Award. She has served Knox Middle in many capacities, but her primary duty as a special education teacher is her greatest strength, according to the nomination form. She tutors students after hours and during summer break, and demonstrates a particular talent for tutoring students with dyslexia. Through her work, she has become the district's expert in providing service to special education students.
Bingham received the Dr. Mary Alice Lay Teacher Leader Award as well. She is a mathematics intervention teacher at Central Elementary. According to the nomination form, she has a passion for improving mathematics education, which she has shared not only locally, but at state and national levels as well. She is the only Kentucky mathematics intervention teacher who is also a Math Recovery Leader, Math Recovery Add+Vantage Champion and Student Numeracy Assessment Progressions Facilitator. Within the classroom, Bingham is known for the dedication she shows to helping each and every student.
Mills, another recipient of the Dr. Mary Alice Lay Teacher Leader Award, is currently a second-grade teacher at Barbourville Independent School but has taught almost every grade at the primary level throughout her career. Part of her success stems from the ability she has to connect and educate students at any level. Mills, who believes that the key to student success lies within reaching out to students and their families, takes the time to know them all. Her compassion and ability to positively influence students is demonstrated through the account of a former student who said, "My favorite pastime as a child was to play school, and I was the teacher (Mills)." That student later became a teacher.
The final recipient of the Dr. Mary Alice Lay Teacher Leader Award is Campbell, choir and band director at Knox Central High School. Campbell, who demonstrates daily his compassion for teaching and his students, is also known for his leadership ability within the education community. Campbell is heavily involved with not only the Kentucky Education Association, but the National Education Association as well. He is also a representative with the Kentucky Teacher Effectiveness Steering Committee and its subcommittee for non-tested areas. Within the classroom, he works to instill a passion for music within each of his students, either through choir or band, and creates an atmosphere "full of hope and love and most importantly family," said one student.
Middleton, a recipient of the Dr. Warren Robbins Educational Leadership Award, is the high school principal at Barbourville Independent School. According to the nomination form, he is well respected there, not only by the other personnel, but by the students as well. As principal, he is faced with many problems brought before him by students, and in each instance he shows genuine concern for the students involved. He is extremely dedicated to his role, and has been key in making Barbourville a school district of which the community is proud.
Jackson, the assistant principal at Knox Central High School, was another recipient of the Dr. Warren Robbins Educational Leadership Award. His unique leadership abilities include taking a genuine interest in all students, and doing what is in his power to make sure they are succeeding. He recognizes their individual achievements, and makes sure that the path to those achievements is as smooth as possible for each student. These traits have helped him as he has developed next-generation leaders at Knox County Middle School.
Dixon is a recipient of the Dr. Warren Robbins Educational Leadership Award as well. She is the instructional supervisor at Barbourville Independent School. Although Dixon has worked across the state and in various roles, the one constant throughout her career has been her students and the relationships she develops with them. Whatever she is doing, Dixon always performs at the highest level, and holds those she works with to those same standards. However, she will go out of the way to make sure they can do so, helping them along with whatever they may need. The dedication and hard work she shows every day has allowed countless Barbourville students to receive the highest level of education possible.
The Excellence in Education Awards recognize teachers and administrators who follow the examples set by the instructors for whom the awards are named. Union College distinguished professors Dr. Warren Robbins and Dr. Mary Alice Lay are both iconic in representing Union's legacy of supporting educational excellence.
Robbins, who joined Union's faculty in 1957, first served as a teacher, principal and a supervisor in the Bell County School System. From 1954-1957, he was supervisor in a Ford Foundation pilot program at Berea College to improve education in rural Kentucky. His first positions at Union included associate professor of education and director of student teachers. He later became department head, vice president of graduate affairs, professor of education, dean of graduate studies, and dean of faculty. Robbins retired from Union in 1990 from the position of dean of graduate studies program and then served as Professor Emeritus of education.
Lay came to Union in 1961 as instructor of home economics after receiving bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Kentucky. She continued her graduate studies through a National Science Fellowship in Nutrition at the University of South Dakota and through travel study in Europe via Indiana State University. She was promoted to assistant professor in 1969, the same year she was granted tenure. From 1978-1983 she stepped aside from her faculty duties to become Union's director of alumni affairs. During this time, she completed another graduate program, receiving her Rank I certificate from Union in 1980. She returned to the faculty ranks and has served as associate professor of education from 1985 to the present.
The 2013 pool included more than 30 nominations. Each nominee must have completed a minimum of five full years of teaching experience and be currently serving in a school or an administrative position.
Fellow educators, students, parents and community members issued nominations, which were not limited to Union College alumni; however Union College is proud to note each honoree is among its graduates. A committee composed of impartial educators and community members from the region and beyond made up the selection committee.

muscle endurance
Been lookin at ways to improve muscle endurance(especially legs/chest) to improve bjj class/kickboxing...
*do alot of squats in between rounds and my legs just dont have the endurance..
*my chest muscles get stupidly tired quick during BJJ class....
I've been gettin tired of the usual lifting weights or the normal lifting..I've been trying to add different types of routines,but can't seem to find websites that are clear about various routines..
*core routines
*full body
I only workout 2-3x a week,I've been tryin in past couple of weeks to finish the workout with(wall squats or lunges and pushups or planks to burn those weak muscles)..
*started today of doing circuit training for the muscles Im working out...example today back-abs-sho continuously until I finished...then did some knee lifts,hip flexability drills(for bjj),and some push-ups....
There's a good chance it's your smaller or stability muscles that are fatiguing first. Your larger muscles could be fine. Try stability workouts like rings, push ups on a medicine ball, etc. Use dumbells instead of barbells. See if that helps.
Try Caveman training:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G61d0feaIg - Sean Sherk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tWm_CANid0 - Brock Lesnar
You have to force your muscles to get stronger during the fatigue factor of your training. The best way to do this is the utilize dumbbell style lifting Like Mike said.
Take chest for example, there are main muscles at play, but then there are secondary muscles, stabilizers and so on. One trick is to do dumbbell bench, but keep the one dumbbell extended while the other side does its rep, then it holds at the top while the otherside does its rep. By doing this your focusing all types of muscles to keep that weight stable.
You can really do a lot of other movements with the same idea. On things like cable work on your last rep when the weight want to go back down force yourself to not let it go down. Like bicep curls, after your last contraction on your way down hold it at the half way point and dont give in to the weight wanting to continue down.
Diet is another thing you have to look at very closely, supplements, foods, hydration all play a factor.
By "rings" I mean the gymnastic style rings. They're not cheap but some gyms have them. Do pull-ups, push-ups, flys, dips, etc. on rings instead of the stable equipment and you'll see how much harder they are. If you browse you-tube you can probably find several rings workouts. I bought a pair and love using them. Definitely a tougher workout but great results.
Focus on strength and power. Do interval training for anaerobic endurance.
That's what you need.
"Caveman" training and all of that other crap is either a) for variety or b) for the cameras.
Look at Rich Franklin's old routine when he did the circuit stuff on the UFC All-Access show. Guess what? Rich Franklin has a new strength coach. He's not using that guy that was in the All-Access anymore. That type of circuit training was not focused on strength & power.
Here's the problem with just doing circuit stuff - is it difficult? Absolutely. But, is it intense enough? Not even close. It can't be - because of fatigue due to the duration. You can't work with weights heavy enough to bring about the necessary level of intensity.
The very definition of intensity from a purely strength sense is measured by one's % of 1-RM. Well, if you're fatigued, you obviously can function at a high percentage of your 1-RM. The focus should be on developing power and "power endurance" (not a real term in classic exercise physiology texts). But, definitely something that can be trained and/or developed in a round-about way.
Power = force x velocity. You develop the force component via pure strength development. Focusing on the speed of the movement completes the velocity component.
My friend and his colleague are doing a presentation at the National Strength & Conditioning Association conference in July in Orlando, Florida. (I have had the opportunity to view the "trial run" of the presentation twice already.)
They only found 4 research papers that dealt specifically with the physiology of MMA fighting. So, they had to pull research that dealt with wrestling, judo, tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing, muay thai, etc. and ended up reviewing over 1700. What they found was that those individuals who showed greater strength and power were most successful in all of these other areas.
So, you're all saying - well, duh?
So, why is everybody doing all of this circuit training crap?
Guys, look at GSP in the Countdown show that was on before his fight with Dan Hardy. Did you watch him doing Olympic lifts? Advanced plyo work? sprint work? I think that these things develop power if I'm not mistaken?
Highest power outputs - Olympic lifting. I can show you that via biomechanical research. Of course, these are highly technical lifts and most people do them wrong, so they probably aren't maximizing their power output.
What Dan Hardy was doing was definitely a good approach as well. (Weighted trap/hex bar deadlift jumps) He was being helped by Joe DeFranco, who's a prominent strength coach in his own right. He doesn't do Olympic lifts due to the complexity and prefers a modified Westside System adapted to athletes that emphasizes dynamic effort (power development) coupled with max strength. That's fine. And, for some folks, Olympic lifting may not be the best option due to a host of factors - injury history, body size/stature/dimensions, etc.
But, at the end of the day - train for strength & power and do interval work that will maximize anaerobic endurance. This will more mimic the intermittent type of activity in MMA, grappling, boxing, kickboxing, etc. It will train the appropriate energy system while teaching the muscles to generate and develop force rapidly and explosively.
On his website Stew Smith talk's a little about Muscle endurance! From what I understand his trianing tends to be geared toward aceing military fitness test. I've read some of his stuff and I am a long way from being able to follow it. In case your wondering he say's Powerlifting/Football type trianing is counter prductive to the kind of endurance you need in the Military.
I find some intresting reading on his site but I don't trian!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Bit of a brute, but really enjoyed it!In full: Challenging run through some glorious scenery, not that I really had chance to enjoy the views! Thank you organisers and marshalls you put on such a good, enjoyable, well organised (quite painful) day. Coffin Trail half way marker was so cruel (but unfortunately true!). Thanks guys!Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Amazing experienceIn full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race. Was a little late setting off but otherwise ran like clockwork. Delivered everything promised. Start / finish location at the racecourse was lovely and the route was just amazing! Big thanks to race organisers and the team of marshalls and the decent weather. See you again next year hopefully! :)Date of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Fast and friendlyIn full: Loved this race. Well organised and marshalled. Very basic race, attracts some very fast runners, but there is a good mix of abilities further down the field and a very welcoming feel. Smashed last years time, still feeling smug, see you all again next year! :)Date of review: November 22, 2011
In short: Wow, that was a rollercoaster!In full: A rollercoaster of terrains and emotions! Hard work, but loved it. Does seem expensive though. Thanks marshalls, you must have been soaked through and freezing!! :)Date of review: September 6, 2011

Release date: 4/12/2004
Raleigh: Attorney General Roy Cooper today announced enforcement actions against some of the largest sources of unwanted telemarketing calls to North Carolina consumers under the state's Do Not Call law.
"Some telemarketers keep calling even when consumers ask them not to," said Cooper. "We're putting a stop to these unwanted calls."
Cooper announced settlements with AT&T and American Communications of High Point, which sells DIRECTV satellite equipment. He also filed suit last week against MST Business Research of Surrey, Canada, a telemarketer working with American Communications to sell DIRECTV products.
Today's settlement with AT&T resolves charges that the company and its telemarketers called North Carolina consumers who had specifically asked not to get telemarketing calls from AT&T or who had placed their numbers on the Do Not Call list. Under the agreement signed April 12, telemarketers calling on behalf of AT&T who fail to comply with North Carolina's Do Not Call law more than once are prohibited from telemarketing into North Carolina for the company. In addition, AT&T agreed to train all current and future telemarketers to follow telemarketing laws and the terms of the settlement. AT&T, which cooperated with Cooper's investigation, does not admit or deny any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay the state $30,000.
AT&T has also agreed to keep thorough records for two years of telemarketing calls made to North Carolina numbers as well as Do Not Call complaints filed with the company by North Carolina consumers and actions taken to resolve those complaints. AT&T must share these records with the Attorney General's office along with copies of any telemarketing complaints filed against the company with other government agencies.
The settlement with American Communications, signed March 29, resolves allegations that the company failed to monitor its telemarketers who placed calls to North Carolina numbers that appear on the Do Not Call registry. Under terms of the agreement, American Communications must train all telemarketers making calls on the company's behalf to follow the laws and the terms of the settlement. Any violations by a telemarketer working for the company must be documented in the employee's file and must also be reported to Cooper's office, along with any complaints filed by North Carolina consumers with the company. American Communications does not admit or deny any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay the state $15,000. In addition, the company will cooperate fully in Cooper's investigations of other DIRECTV telemarketers.
Cooper also filed suit April 1 against MST, a Canadian telemarketer that worked with American Communications but did not cooperate with the Attorney General's investigation. MST is the source of many Do Not Call complaints about DIRECTV made to Cooper's office. The suit asks the court to permanently stop MST from making illegal telemarketing calls to North Carolinians and to require MST to pay civil penalties.
In January, Cooper settled with Communication Concepts, another DIRECTV retailer. That settlement required Communication Concepts to pay $1,000 to resolve charges that the company called North Carolinians listed on the Registry and used autodialers and prerecorded pitches.
Unwanted telemarketing calls from DIRECTV and AT&T represent the two largest sources of Do Not Call complaints to Cooper's office. A total of 296 consumers have complained to Cooper's office about DIRECTV telemarketing calls; 82 of those calls were placed by MST telemarketers calling on behalf of American Communications. The Federal Trade Commission has received 263 Do Not Call complaints about DIRECTV from North Carolina consumers. More than 100 consumers have complained to Cooper's office about AT&T telemarketing calls. AT&T is the second largest source of Do Not Call complaints made by North Carolinians to the Attorney General's office and the FTC.
Cooper's office is actively investigating Do Not Call complaints against several other companies. Consumers who signed up for the Do Not Call Registry can report telemarketers who call them to Cooper's office by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within the state or by going to www.nocallsnc.com. Consumers can file a complaint once they have been listed in the Registry for one month.
Nearly 1.9 million North Carolina numbers have been placed on the Do Not Call Registry since it began in July 2003. To sign up for the Registry, consumers can go to the website or call 1-888-382-1222 within North Carolina from the number they wish to register. North Carolinians who join the Registry are protected by both state and federal laws.
"Consumers who've signed up for the Do Not Call Registry have made it clear that they don't want to get these calls," said Cooper. "Telemarketers need to know that if they don't follow the law, my office will take action."

Board won't be cowed by wayward road beast
HANOVER – The wandering cow on King Road continues to be an issue, according to Hanover Town Councilman Wayne Ashley.
Ashley reported to the town board recently that he visited the Sheriff's Department in Mayville to see how many calls have been made about this cow.
"I went to Mayville to see how many times deputies have been to King Road about the cow. The deputies alone have been called 17 times in three months. That doesn't even include the number of times the troopers have stopped," he said.
"Holy cow," Supervisor Todd Johnson exclaimed.
Previously, the town board discussed the situation with this cow owner and after determining the town would not be in any way responsible in the case of an accident, decided against a town ordinance.
Ashley said he is working on a solution, which would not include the lengthy pro-cess of passing an ordinance.
"An ordinance will take too long," he said.
Highway Superintendent Steve D'Angelo also reported a problem on another road in the town. He explained a 15-foot portion of Ohio Street was never deeded to the town. He said this was supposed to have been done a long time ago and the process was never finished.
D'Angelo brought up the matter after the owner of the portion of road said he would like to deed it to the town. Town Attorney Jeffrey Passafaro said he will look into the legal aspects of ownership and the transfer before the town proceeds.
The board also heard a presentation from Silver Creek Superintendent of Schools Daniel Ljiljanich and Business Administrator Cindy Mackowiak on the school budget.
The total proposed budget is $20,477,618 with a proposed tax levy of $5,661,824, a 2.7 percent increase. this would translate to a $0.47 increase in the full-value tax rate.
A resident asked if positions are cut in the budget. Ljiljanich said a half-time music and half-time French teacher are cut, which will result in French no longer being offered by the district.
It was also asked if the school's population is decreasing. Ljiljanich said the school's population is stable but there are larger graduation class sizes at the elementary level.
The budget vote is set for May 21 from 1 to 9 p.m. in the high school lobby. Also up for a vote is to expend $118,978 from the vehicle reserve for a bus, create a new vehicle reserve for up to $850,000 using other reserves and fund balance and two board seats are up for election.
The town board will hold its next meeting May 13.

County Ready For Its Closeup On National TV
Chautauqua County can truly take a bow this month. Two major sporting events filmed locally have given our region a chance to shine on national television.
The recent Progressive Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular televised on NBC on Jan. 6 featured some of the top names in both sports. Filmed at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena on Dec. 15, the production featured 2012 all-around Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas along with other 2012 Olympic competitors Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, John Orozco, Danell Leyva, Jonathan Horton and Jacob Dalton, as well as 2008 all-around gold medalist Nastia Liukin.
The lineup of figure skaters included world champions and 2010 Olympic ice dance silver medalists Davis and Charlie White, current U.S. singles champions Jeremy Abbott and Ashley Wagner, two-time U.S. champion Alissa Czisny, world ice dance bronze medalists Maia and Alex Shibutani, 2012 U.S. silver medalist Adam Rippon and up-and-coming elite skater Gracie Gold.
Also performing during the show was the Fresh Beat Band of the Nickelodeon show with the same name, and Ross Lynch of Disney's "Austin and Ally" with his band R5. Olympic champions Bart Conner, Nadia Comaneci and Peggy Fleming hosted the show. The glitzy production was filmed before a sold-out and wildly cheering crowd in the arena. We commend the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena for an outstanding job on this event.
Coming up next weekend, NBC viewers will get a chance to see a different side of Chautauqua County, when the final event of Jack Link's Major League Fishing's Summit Cup will be televised at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The Major League Fishing crew and support staff have been raving both online and on the Outdoor Channel about the beauty of Chautauqua Lake as an extraordinary fishing destination, as well as the hospitality they received during filming here last August.
Please join us Saturday for a Major League Fishing watch party at Bellini Lounge at Chautauqua Suites as we celebrate this tremendous event. The party begins at noon with free lunch and a cash bar. This event is sponsored by the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau, Chautauqua Marina, and Webb's Year Round Resort. You can register online at chautauquachamber.org or by calling the Chamber at 484-1101.
It is easy when you live somewhere to take it for granted. It becomes a little more exciting when you look at the assets in your own backyard through the eyes of others. We should remind ourselves more often that the quality of life we enjoy in Chautauqua County is a privilege, and that our area's natural beauty, sports and recreational opportunities, and offerings in the arts and education truly do make us special. We are very lucky to call Chautauqua County our home, and to show it off this way for the rest of the country.
