Members of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's administration continue efforts this week to pitch his proposed budget to constituents across the state. But the proposal may be headed for an uphill battle in the legislature.
Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo spoke to reporters outside a Democratic caucus at the State House on Tuesday, saying he's heard from anxious constituents and lawmakers about the governor's proposed budget.
"People have grave concerns about the proposal as a whole, but in fairness to the Governor, I told him I would keep an open mind, and I will keep an open mind."
But despite those "grave concerns," Patrick's administration is pushing forward with a budget that proposes to bring in an extra $1.9 billion a year by raising income taxes by one percent, and lowering the sales tax by 1.75 percent. Much of Patrick's proposed investments are in education and transportation. Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Greg Bialecki argues the budget raises needed revenues for the coming year, while focusing on long-term investments.
"But more importantly, it puts us in a position where we can tell businesses, 'if you decide to locate or grow in Massachusetts, you're going to be in a state where we're going to continue to invest in transportation and education over the next ten years."
Bialecki says the Governor's proposal would benefit western Massachusetts, particularly in transportation investments, including improvements in train service between Springfield and Boston.

Cirrus Des Aigles: won the British Champion Stakes at Ascot in 2011PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)
Cirrus slump continues as Tres Blue triumphs
Report: France, Sunday
Deauville: Lucien Barriere Grand Prix de Deauville (Group 2) 1m4½f, 3yo+
IN THE wake of Frankel's retirement, Cirrus Des Aigles started 2013 as the highest rated horse in training. He won't finish the year in the same position.
2012 was an annus mirabilis for the seven-year-old gelding, with Group 1 wins in the Dubai Sheema Classic and an eight-length romp in the Prix Ganay, as well as getting within two lengths of Frankel in the British Champion Stakes - a race he won the year before.
But in 2013 he has looked a pale imitation of the rampant force he was last year, with time, and quite possibly 49 career starts, catching up with him as he flopped for the fourth time this season.
A fifth and a fourth behind Novellist, in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and King George respectively, prompted a drop to Group 2 company where he fared better finishing second, albeit beaten a head by the seemingly vastly inferior Petit Chevalier - when sent off the 9-10 favourite.
That he lined up at Deauville as a 2-1 shot against horses he would have been shorter than 1-2 against last year reflected the belief he is no longer the force of old, and the performance underlined it.
Settled in mid division, Christophe Soumillon loomed up ominously on the favourite as the field approached the home turn, sitting upsides longtime leader Slow Pace, who set just that under Olivier Peslier.
Yet as they entered the home straight Soumillon went from cruising to sending out distress signals in a matter of strides and Peslier had held more than enough to repel the challenge of the horse he has partnered to most of his biggest wins.
Christophe Soumillon: "surprised how hard he was blowing"PICTURE: Masakazu Takahashi
"I suppose I am a little disappointed," said his trainer Corine Barande-Barbe. "Christophe [Soumillon] said he kept a little for himself. When two or three others got to him he slightly held back. His condition is obviously still coming along but Christophe was surprised, on slightly softer ground than he's had, how hard he was blowing."
Peslier looked to have stolen it but Tres Blue, who had been sat handy throughout, got the perfect split between the pair and picked up for pressure from the fast-finishing Penglai Pavilion down the outside to hold on for a head victory under Fabrice Veron at 11-1. Very Nice Name passed Cirrus Des Aigles close home for fourth.
"We were going to go to the race in Germany but then changed the plan at the last moment," said trainer Alex Pantall. "He gets tougher with every race, he's German-bred and it's somewhat in their make-up.
"He's strong and tough. He's in the Arc and I don't see why he shouldn't go. He won't have a run beforeand, the Niel will come too soon and he's already run three weeks ago in the Prix Reux."
Also on Sunday:
Deauville: Prix Quincey Lucien Barriere (Group 3) 1m, 3yo+
THERE was a British one-two in the Group 3 Prix Quincey with Neil Callan making all on the William Knight-trained Fire Ship to get the better of George Baker's Royal Ascot winner Belgian Bill, who finished fast under Gerald Mosse.
"I wanted to drop him in because I always felt that was the best way to ride him and he's always better with something to run at," said Callan.
"I thought I might as well get beaten for the right reasons and, when I let him stride on, he settled quite well. When I come to France I like to get the race going a good three or four futrlongs out. If you try and ride the French way they'll always outsprint you.
"The key to him was the rain this morning. When he ran at Goodwood it was only four days after his Listed race but it was still a credible run because the ground wasn't really to his liking. As it happened Plan B had to come in to play."
Baker was delighted for his fellow British trainer, even if his jockey wasn't. "Gerald is gutted. He thought if he'd got out half a stride earlier he'd have won," said Baker.
"But all credit to the winner, William is a great mate of mine and we've got the one-two. He's in the Cambridgeshire but we're second in a Group 3 so there's a Group 3 in Munich on September 15, that's probably the way we'll look now."
The Christophe Ferland-trained Spoil The Fun led home the home team, getting the better of the Elie Lellouche-trained Pinturicchio in a photo-finish.
Deauville: Prix de Meautry Lucien Barriere (Group 3) 6f, 3yo+
MYASUN landed the second Group 3 of his career, finishing strongly under Olivier Peslier to overhaul the Andre Fabre-trained 5-2 favourite Tulips inside the final 50 yards.
Myasun's last success in Group company came when getting the better of David Nagle's British Champions Sprint winner Maarek.
While that was nine months ago and he has only won one of his four starts since, the 12-1 shot overcame a wide draw to come from last to first to win by a neck, with Dibajj getting the better of Morning Frost in the photo-finish for third.
"We were disappointed last time, when he pulled too hard, and if he'd run like that again we would have lowered our sights," said trainer Christian Baillet. "We'll discuss it but I think he'll be entered for the Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp."

It takes a lot to be in a creative mode. In the photo you will see what is in my bag right now. Starting at the top:
- Starbucks Cool Lime Refreshers
- My cute newish wallet
- For Lovers of God Everywhere: Poems of the Christian Mystics
by Roger Housden
- Staedtler Triplus Pens
- This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart by Susannah Conway
- My moleskin journal
- My calendar that I use to write a 2-3 sentance summary of my day.
- My iPad
- The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (I am in an online group that is working through the book).
These have been my tools lately to stay on top of my creativity. The Artist's Way has been encouraging me to write more often. The Morning Pages are usually where I end up with ideas for blog entries and for more upcoming projects. From This I Know I have been going back and doing all of the reflections/prompts. Some of those are creatively driven as well. For my entries I have been using my Triplus pens to brighten up my pages and to have on hand in case I feel the urge to doodle in the entry too. For Lovers of God Everywhere is just a good read to have on hand for inspiration. (One of my favorites from this book is Unholy Sonnet #4 by Mark Jarman). Lastly, if you haven't tried the new Starbucks Refreshers, do. They are light and very good, and caffeinated!
Be well. Create. Inspire.

Middle name/ honoring of relative ideas and new additions!
So my middle names kind of just feel bland. I want something to still honor our family but maybe to revamp the names. So here are the names we want to somehow incorporate into baby's name:
Then, there's Cora, DH's favorite. He won't budge but I don't like it enough to use it as a first name. We decided to use two middle names, and smoosh Cora and Leigh to get Coralie, which I have seen pop up here quite often. Coralie can be the first or second middle name, we have no preference.
Keep in mind, not every single name needs to be used except Cora/Coralie.
We will probably end up doing two middle names but I need something to spice up these names. Also, here's our current list:
Getting rid of Farrah and Willow, just don't LOVE Farrah and Willow doesn't go great with Milo. Speaking of Milo, she has two brothers- Caleb and Milo. Here are new additions:
Elizabeth "Bess/Bessie" honors DH's mom
Bowen (although Brohan is on the list for boys, I think this is our last kid!)
Whew! Thank you for giving us your time and dedication, it's so helpful to have other name nerds opinions!Mom to two beautiful boys Milo Joseph and Caleb Edward with a girl on the way

Peggy- Is this from Margaret? Would you consider Margaret or Margot as an option to honor Peggy?
Lynn- Coraline might work Lynn into the name?
Sue- Susanna & Susan are both nice. Sue is a cute spunky middle, but maybe not with a double middle? Sula?
Leigh- pretty on it's own. Lee is nice too. Leith is pretty if you're open to modern/surname style
Suellen smushes Sue + Lynn so maybe that could work?
Are you into Coral? I think it's naturey, pretty, bright, underused & strong. Cordelia? Corinne?
Flora- I think this doesn't work with the Cor- middle cause it's too repetitive. Maybe if you put another name between them, but still...
Luna- I immediately think lunacy, lunatic, loon.
Poppy- I think of Papi, like the word for father
Magnolia- Very pretty. An uncommon choice with plenty of common nickname options for the shy types- Maggie, Molly, ect
Willa- Pretty. Willa Coralie or Willa Coraline are very nice. Willa Corinne? Do you like Wilhelmina?
India- Not into place names.
Elizabeth "Bess/Bessie" honors DH's mom- Very sweet. Elizabeth Coralie or Elizabeth Coraline or Elizabeth Coral are all lovely
Bowen- nms it's very unisex, but it's OK. Maybe Bowen would make a good 2nd middle. Willa Bowen Coraline is nice. Bowen kind of tempers the girliness
Georgia- I LOVE THIS NAME. Georgia Coraline is nice! Georgia Bowen Coralie is very pretty. Georgia Corinne is also really pretty.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
China's economy could overtake the U.S. economy as the world's largest by 2030 and possibly sooner, according to data released today by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris.
The balance of world power also will shift away from the West as per-capita incomes and living standards rise in "catching-up countries," the think tank's report noted. A better educated workforce and higher productivity will fuel those changes, it said.
Earlier today, I blogged about a new report by researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas that shows emerging economies are outgrowing developed economies.
The United States GDP accounted for 23 percent of the global economy in 2011, compared with China's 17 percent. By 2030, the OECD forecasts that China's GDP will account for 28 percent of the global economy, surpassing the United States' 18 percent that year.
But Steven L. Cobb, director of the Center for Economic Education at the University of North Texas, said China's long-term growth may not be a high as some estimates note because as the Chinese economy increases, it won't grow be able to 9 percent to 10 percent every year.
The United States will continue to be a leader in the global economy, but new players are emerging such as China, but also countries like Brazil and India, Cobb said yesterday at a panel discussion entitled "Post-Election Economics 101″ hosted by the Texas Council on Economic Education in Dallas.
Global GDP will grow 3 percent a year for the next 50 years, the OECD forecast, but with significant country-by-country variations. The group also expects the GDP of its 34 member countries, including the United States, will fall from 65 percent today to 43 percent by 2060.

"The transition between the new canvas top and the butter-soft leather made it difficult to get these on the first few times. At first, I was actually thinking that they were too small. I ended up having to almost completely unlace them the first few times I wore them. That was the only break-in necessary. Definitely a nice boot!"

Family & Social Life
Donations to the Museum have preserved irreplaceable evidence about generations of ordinary Americans. Objects from the Copp household of Stonington, Connecticut, include many items used by a single family from 1740 to 1850. Other donations have brought treasured family artifacts from jewelry to prom gowns. These gifts and many others are all part of the Museum's family and social life collections.
Children's books and Sunday school lessons, tea sets and family portraits also mark the connections between members of a family and between families and the larger society. Prints, advertisements, and artifacts offer nostalgic or idealized images of family life and society in times past. And the collections include a few modern conveniences that have had profound effects on American families and social life, such as televisions, video games, and personal computers.

Ship Model, SS Frisia
- Description
- This model is a cutaway of the German steamship Frisia. Originally launched as the Alsatia, the Frisia was a transatlantic passenger ship, with room for 820 passengers. Built in 1872 by Caird & Co. in Scotland, Frisia was owned by the Hamburg-American Line. Rigged for both sail and steam power, the Frisia could make the Atlantic crossing in about 12 days.
- Many of the passengers who traveled aboard the Frisia were immigrants bound for America. In 1876, a group of some 70 Russian immigrants boarded the Frisia in Hamburg, Germany. Originally from Kratzke, a city in Russia near the Volga River, these men, women, and children left their homes with hopes of owning farmland in the United States. Upon arriving in New York, the Kratzke immigrants traveled west and settled in Russell County, Kansas, in October 1876. Although life was hard on the prairie, most immigrants did not return to their homeland. More Russian immigrants arrived in December 1876, and together they founded the Bender Hill community in Kansas.
- The Frisia was one of the last iron steamships of its era. Shortly afterwards, steel-hulled ships became standard. Following its run as an immigrant ship, the Frisia was renamed and sold to Italian owners who converted it into a coal carrier. In 1902, the SS Frisia, then known as the Arno, was scrapped in Italy.

- "Khalakka dothrae mr'anha! Ma me nem ahakee ma Rhaego!
(A Prince rides in me! And he shall be called Rhaego!)"
- ―Daenerys Targaryen about her unborn son.
Rhaego is a minor character in the first and second seasons. He was the son of Khal Drogo and Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen. He was named in honor of his uncle, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. According to a Dothraki prophecy, he would have been the Stallion Who Mounts the World, a great khal of khals who would have united the Dothraki as one horde and used them to conquer the entire world. He was stillborn after being involved in a blood magic ritual performed by Mirri Maz Duur.
Season 1
Daenerys's handmaiden Irri realizes that Daenerys is pregnant with Drogo's child. They throw a small feast to celebrate. Ser Jorah Mormont is troubled by the news and sends word of it to his paymaster, Varys, in King's Landing. Daenerys tells Drogo she is certain the child will be a boy.[1]
Daenerys strikes her brother Viserys after he threatens her and her unborn son.[2] King Robert Baratheon orders Daenerys, her unborn child and Viserys killed.[3] In Vaes Dothrak, omens are taken and the crones proclaim that Drogo's son will be the Stallion That Mounts the World. Daenerys names him Rhaego for her deceased brother, Rhaegar.[4]
On the borders of Lhazar, close to the Red Waste, Rhaego is reportedly stillborn and comes out looking like a monster. Mirri Maz Duur claims that he had scales like a lizard, was blind with bat-like wings, and had innards full of graveworms. She also says that when she touched him, his skin fell away from his bones, and that it was his death that paid for Drogo's life.[5]
Season 2
Pyat Pree has told Daenerys that her stolen dragons are in the possession of the warlocks of Qarth, in the House of the Undying. So to recover her stolen dragons she goes there, and then she finds herself magically inside of it. She goes through different rooms seeing different visions such as the ruined throne room of King's Landing, but she keeps going, following the sound of her dragons crying. She goes out through a gate to go beyond north of the Wall into a snow storm where she sees a dothraki Khal's tent, and entering, finds herself back in her former home while on the Dothraki Sea in Khal Drogo's tent. Before her is her dead husband and child alive again. Rhaego is seen as a small adorable boy in the arms of Drogo. Daenerys shares an emotional moment with them. Drogo says that he doesn't know if this is a dream, but if it is he will kill the man who tries to wake him. Though she longs to stay, she hears her dragons in the distance and realizes that they are both only an illusion. She turns and walks away, and as she goes the emotion drains from Drogo's eyes.[6]

Behind the scenes
During the illusion scene in the House of the Undying in which Daenerys sees a vision of Rhaego had he lived, the character is actually played by a female infant.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, despite being told that her stillborn baby was a monster, Daenerys is visited by images of Rhaego as he would have been had he not been cursed by Mirri Maz Duur and survived. She sees him in her vision in the House of the Undying in Qarth. He appears to her as a young man with his father's physique and tanned skin coloring, with Daenerys' long silver-gold hair, and with almond shaped eyes of the traditional Targaryen purple color. He stands before a burning city, under the banner of a fiery stallion. He holds out his hand to her, but then fire pours from his mouth, and he is consumed by flame.
