Before we begin today I want to send out hearty holiday greetings to all my pagan friends. Here in the northern hemisphere — HAPPY Winter SOLSTICE! Ya'll in the southern hemisphere — HAPPY Summer SOLSTICE!
Some of us overlook these important and most ancient of festivals. Our culture's Judeo-Christian bias blurs the origins of most of the religious observances we still take for granted today — like Christmas. When Christianity became the dominant influence in our culture it co-opted the trappings of these festivals, robbed them of their heavily laden sexual context and mercilessly persecuted their adherents. And that, to my mind, is a fuckin' pity. What a different world this would be if that hadn't happened.
Name: BJ
Gender: Female
Age: 23
I've been sexually active for several years now and have yet to reach an orgasm. Oral sex, intercourse nor masturbation have been effective. Is there something wrong with me, what might help?
I'd be very much surprised if there was actually something physically wrong with you. But you clearly have some difficulty letting go. And simply put, an orgasm is letting go of built up sexual tension.
Lot of preorgasmic women don't feel entitled to an orgasm, for one reason or another. Other women are simply unversed on how to make the big "O" happen in their own fine self. Sometimes it's a combination of both resistance and a lack of know how.
I used to have this client, a woman in her late 30's, the mother of three and a devote Catholic. She was preorgasmic too. Her big stumbling block was fear. You got it; fear of having an orgasm. She had heard from other women, over the years, how powerful orgasms were and how pleasurable they were. My client somehow got it in her head that if she were to ever let go and give up that long-awaited screamin' meme, her entire world would collapse. She would become a sex addict, neglect her children, divorce her husband and turn her back on God…the whole enchilada.
With that kind of mindset, this little lady wasn't gonna let herself cum no how.
I had to reassure her that, as delightful as orgasms are, they are not like crack cocaine. I told her there was no chance that she'd fly to pieces as a mother, wife and friend of Jesus if she were to ever squeeze one out. I had to keep repeating this over and over till it finally sank in. You talk about hardheaded! In the end, she had her precious orgasm, joined the ranks of the sexually satisfied and lived happily ever after. …Well, I can't honestly say about the happily ever after part.
Back to you BJ, I don't suppose there's any way you could have one of your gal-pals show you how it's done, is there? The reason I ask is most guys learn how to choke the chicken by watching, or being instructed by another guy. Us men folk are really good about doin that for one another. Women folk, on the other hand, don't seem to do this for one another as much. Which is a freakin' pity, if ya ask me.
If you can't (or won't) get a pal to show you the finer points of proper pussy pleasuring, I have another suggestion for you. Mozie on over to DR DICK'S HOW TO VIDEO LIBRARY and check out a swell instructional video. Do a quick search for "female masturbation" and let the experts show you a thing or two. You'll be so glad you did.
Write back again and let me know how things go. If you're not successful, I still have a few other tricks up my sleeve.
My wife fantasizes about cum swapping with me and forcing me to lick my freshly deposited spooge out of her vagina, but every time we try, just after I ejaculate, I loose my nerve. I have tried to taste my own cum before, and it really does turn me on, but there seems to be a huge difference between fantasizing and doing. I love my wife and want to fulfill her fantasy. How do I get over my apprehension to gulping my own love juice?
Regards, Chris
OMG! What are you, trying to do make me sick? Just kidding! What a spunky little spitfire you're married to, Chris. Nasty little piggy sex, my favorite kind! You guys GO!"
Vaga-felching" or "lickin' a creampie" is a relatively obscure fetish. The gays are more likely to felch, cuz they're like so into the whole jizz thing, don't cha know. But Vaga-felching is a-completely-nother thing…especially if it's a straight dude doing the felching.
Ya see, a guy is always up for layin' down and nice slime trail, but lickin it up again, especially after it's been loitering about in the inner-regions of a pussy…why that's pretty much enough to make most straight dudes hurl.
I suppose you're slightly ahead of the ballgame, considering you say you find the taste of your own issue a turn on. That's a good start. The big hurdle, of course, is having the same desires post-ejaculation as you do pre-ejaculation. And therein lies the rub, darlin'.
When we're in the throws of passion, when we're totally aroused, we get in this state. It's just like a state of suspended animation, only completely different. 😉 Our sense of sight, smell, touch and taste are muted and our judgment is impaired too. Which allows us to do all sorts of things we wouldn't consider if our dick wasn't raging. You know the old saying; "A stiff dick has no conscience," don't cha? Well, it's kinda like that.
Anyhow, all the nasty piggy little things we can groove on with a hardon, often evaporate once we've shot our load. And seein' that ya gotta shoot your load in order to make a creampie, the fetching thereafter becomes considerably less tantalizing once you do…if ya catch my drift.
I suppose you could push past the hesitation you have with a little mind game. You could try to convince yourself that what was alluring before the creampie was made is the same thing as after. But then you'd have to override your reinstated judgment and sense of sight, smell, touch and taste to do so.
Get it? Got it? Good!
Hey there,
My question involves my uncircumcised penis. I am 20 years old and pretty sexually active when I'm involved with a girl. I'm curious because is my head, underneath my foreskin, is extremely sensitive. Only in the past year or so have I been working to stretch my foreskin over my head, and now that I've successfully exposed my dick, it's sensitive as hell, almost to the point to where it hurts to touch. The other thing is that when I come close to ejaculation when masturbating/being masturbated, that it doesn't bother me anymore if my head is touched. Is this normal for a circumcised male? I really am not educated about how an uncircumcised penis is supposed to be/work and really can't talk to anyone about it. Please help educate me!
Lucky the man with a natural, intact dick! A super-sensitive dickhead is the birthright of every male. Unfortunately, some of us never get to know the excruciating sensitivity that uncut men know all their lives. Pity that!
You are correct to notice that as you approach an orgasm, your dickhead can receive more touch then when you are not aroused. Like I was sayin' to the guy above you, "…when we're in the throws of passion, when we're totally aroused, we get in this state. Our senses of sight, smell, touch and taste are muted…"This is nature's way of desensitizing the very tool we'd need to bring our pleasure to fruition — entering a pussy and depositing our seed there.
Once that task is complete, the normal sensitivity resumes. And since our dick can't tell between a simple jerk off session, some fine gay sex and an attempt to impregnate a female it just behaves the same way each time we play with our thingy.So sounds to me like everything on your unit is working perfectly well.
Enjoy the gift you have!

I'm 15 and masturbate often but have had no form of sex although my girlfriend wants to start. however my penis and scrotum have extremely small lumps all over. I also have a purple red large lump on the rim of my bellend. what do i do? should i start? or do i risk giving something to my girlfriend?
Here's the thing about lumps and bumps and discolorations of the skin anywhere on your body, especially on your precious willie, pup. They are signs that all is not well. Do us all a big favor and have your johnson looked at by a physician right away. This is nothing to fool around with.
Everything you describe could be completely harmless, but you don't want to take the chance that it isn't. And here's a tip: don't do it for your girlfriend. DO IT FOR YOU! It's your dick, you gotta lean how to take care of it. And there's no time like the present to start properly lookin after it.
There is one more thing. And I'm gonna be as blunt as I know how. If you think you're old enough to fuck, you're old enough to know about condoms and how to use them. If ya don't, you're just a dumb kid who might function like a grown-up, but who doesn't know how to behave like one. And I don't want to believe that about you.
What it is with young people (old people too) who are still fuckin' clueless about unprotected sex in this day and age? I've been reading the celebrity gossip here in the States lately. All the whoha about Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney's 16-year-old sister, gettin knocked up. WTF? Is anyone paying attention?
I have nothing against younger people being sexual. That pretty much is to be expected. But I am totally opposed to kids having kids! Like I said, if you're old enough to swing it around, you're old enough to know how to swing it responsibly.

The Next Step: Training
Once someone has committed to serving in the Military, it's time for them to get the training they need to succeed.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Vanessa Valdes: I am a Reservist at United States Southern Command. I'm an Intelligence Specialist, 2nd Class, and on my personal time, I'm a full-time student at Broward College, studying criminal justice.
Seaman Deirdre Gray: My job right now is a Seaman on the Healy. Our main objective and mission is to assist the National Science Foundation in their science research of the Bering and the Arctic.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Adrien Cheval: As an individual, I really enjoy getting underway. The fact that I'm getting paid to—to drive a boat and to save lives and to also enforce federal law is a great privilege.
Seaman Deirdre Gray: You know, these are things that, outside of the Military, I don't think I would have had the—ever had the experience to see or do.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Adrien Cheval: The Coast Guard's also a humanitarian agency, in the sense that we—we provide assistance to Americans and others in distress, here and abroad. For example, in 2005, we conducted search and rescue operations during Hurricane Katrina.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Vanessa Valdes: I think my passion for the ocean drove me to join the Coast Guard. Whether it be boating or, you know, under-the-surface scuba-diving, but just everything about it. It's pretty much my life.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Adrien Cheval: I chose the Coast Guard for a particular reason, and I knew what I was getting myself into. And today, I'm very happy that I made the decision.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Vanessa Valdes: What makes me the most proud is seeing my mom's face light up when I tell her, you know, about my day, and—looking at the pictures of all my experiences and just thinking back, it's like, "Wow, I was there, I did this, I did that." You know, none of that would have been possible without the Coast Guard.closeX

Walk of Hope
ARROYO GRANDE, CA — In May, the Kennedy Club Fitness in Arroyo Grande, CA, sponsored a 5K run/walk to raise awareness about Kristen Smart, a 19-year-old Cal Poly student who disappeared 10 years ago. The event's purpose was to focus the community's attention on the case and give Smart's family hope about finding her remains. More than 700 people attended the event either as participants or volunteers, and the race raised enough money to complete the Kristen Smart Memorial.
It was the first attempt by Joy Danley, the club's activity director (pictured above), and Mark Pazell, its general manager, at such a large event. Working with a limited budget, the club enlisted several employees as project managers and called upon many small businesses and nonprofit groups for volunteers. A local pizza delivery business placed race information on boxes, and local fraternities and sororities delivered flyers door to door.
The club became passionate about the cause and committed to making it a success, Pazell says. "The community embraced us for our dedication to such a touching cause and our ability to promote it with class," he says. "We did a remarkable job of aligning ourselves with a great cause and tastefully promoting our business."

Item Description
Letter, [Joseph H. Trego] to My Dear wife [Alice Trego]
Author: Trego, Joseph Harrington
Date: October 16, 1857
Joseph H. Trego wrote from his cabin in Sugar Mound, Kansas Territory, to his wife Alice in Rock Island, Illinois, about his journey from Kansas City to Sugar Mound. His friends, Thomas Ellwood Smith (Ell) and his brother Edwin (Ed), and himself were poorly prepared as they expected to stay in public houses during the journey, not camp outside as their wagon transportation preferred. As the road they took went right down the Missouri state line, Trego contrasted the well-established farms to the East with the "open, wild prairie" to the West. He and his brother, upon arriving at their cabin, found that they had "Hoosier" neighbors (from Indiana), who were pleasant but proslavery. Trego recounted the difficulty they had acquiring home furnishings and food, fighting adverse weather at every turn. He spoke at length of how he was comforted by writing to his wife, as he and his friends greatly missed their families.

Keys to a Fit Pregnancy
Oh, how I wish I had had 9Round through either of my two pregnancies! Our first 9Round location was not opened until my second child, Jackson, was 1 year old. It has still changed my life, but, I also know that if I had had the ability to work out the 9Round way through those pregnancies, it would have made my recovery easier and much faster! 95% of the time, women who have already been working out can simply continue exactly what they were doing as a fitness routine on through their pregnancy and just modify what no longer feels "good" as they grow larger.
- avid runners can run through their pregnancy
- weight lovers, (contrary to some beliefs) can continue lifting most weights.
- ….and 9Rounders, can most certainly continue on through their 9 months and workout the 9Round way as well!
HINT! - When ask your doctor "Can I kick box throughout my pregnancy?", your doc is most likely going to stare at you like you're crazy and say a firm "NO". Explaining that what you'll be doing is simply circuit work with lots of body weight exercises, low impact resistance, as well as low kicking and punching (at a pace you feel is comfortable) is a much better explanation of what we actually do! Once your doc gives you the OK, then let's get to work! NOTE: eventually your kicks will start to be lower and less intense. Crunches for the abs may be something you wish to avoid completely. Jump rope is something many women can do this throughout their entire 9 months!
9Round is actually a low impact workout and is such a great way to keep fit during a pregnancy.
In fact, the women who have worked out at 9Round through their entire 9 months have had a very easy time bouncing back into the clothes they were wearing prior!
Now, we know that during pregnancy is not the time to try and LOSE weight or diet. While "eating for two" does not mean eat junk or tons of it, you don't want to diet during pregnancy. You DO want to eat healthy and balanced (proteins, healthy carbs and healthy fats) and of course, drink tons of water. But, since we know that weight gain of some sort is inevitable during pregnancy, the focus I recommend is strength. Focusing on strength will keep you from falling victim to "if you don't use it, you lose it". Pregnancy is the time to keep at those push-ups, lunges and squats more than ever. Focus on perfect form. This cannot be emphasized enough! You can actually end your pregnancy stronger than when you started if you focus. Push-ups should aim to be done on the toes for as long as possible (the entire 3 trimesters if you can!) As you grow, this does become a bit more difficult, but that's OK! Go down to the knees if you need to, but again, just keep focus on perfect form. (Hips in line, neutral neck, etc.) If your belly is keeping you from being able to do go down far enough, then grab two stable chairs and put your hands on the seats so that you belly can go between the chairs. Squats and lunges will keep your leg strength up. This is so important, because strong legs and hips make for an easier delivery. They also are one of your largest "fat burners"(the largest muscles burn the most fat) for after baby, to help you bounce back from delivery as fast as possible. The more muscle mass you have at delivery, the easier your post-delivery recovery will be! Remember, form is key! So, keep the weight in your heels always, pushing up through the heels and aiming to keep the chest up. If your back starts to round forward, you're not ready to squat that low yet. On lunges, the front foot is the heel you focus on pushing from as you're lunging. Again, focus on keeping that chest up and back as straight as possible. Many, many moms have fallen victim to the belief that after each kid, recovery gets tougher and tougher. Even more people believe that it's not possible to ever be back in your pre-baby shape after kids.
Nothing is further from the truth.
I am a mother of two. From my fitness journey, I am actually stronger than I was in high school and I am also the same size that I was in high school.
It is possible. It is realistic. It just requires focusing on the right things. Think also of the great example you are setting for your kids as they watch you rocking out the healthy lifestyle with them!
Keep it kicking, 9Round Moms! We salute you!

How do you turn an English major into a career as a web developer or national fraternity director?
If you major in history, are you likely to become a pediatric physician?
And if you study political science at Wabash College what are the odds you'll find your life's work at one of the top hybrid seed company's in the Midwest?
Many future students and their parents ask themselves, "what do you do with a liberal arts degree?" The answer is you learn to think, succeed, and do whatever you want.
Parker Lyons '97 and Garth Eberhart '92 majored in English at Wabash. Lyons went on to study journalism and public relations after Wabash. But he's found happiness and a successful career as a web developer for Covance.
"I had a strong background in communications and English," said Lyons. "They wanted someone who could function as more than a problem solver. They wanted someone who could cover a lot of different areas."
Eberhart never planned to be a fraternity man all his life. But found a great career working for Delta Tau Delta International, now as an assistant executive vice president.
"My primary job is maintaining the relationship with colleges and universities," Eberthart said. "It's kind of like applying the Gentleman's rule coast to coast, making sure that our guys are being good students on their campuses."
Jason Little '92 had intended on studying biology at Wabash and becoming a doctor. He played soccer, was involved with his fraternity but dropped out of biology and found an interest in history. That didn't stop him though from coming back to his first love. He's become an emergency physician at St. Vincent's Pediatric Department in Indianapolis.
Jim Herr '92 had a degree in political science but was very unsure what he would do after graduation. He's found his niche working for Beck's Hybrids, a major seed company located in Central Indiana.
"I always felt like I learned how to effectively learn at Wabash," Herr said. "My biggest advantage from Wabash comes from meeting different people, working in small groups and experiencing things with an open mind. You hear these things when you are a student and it applies as an adult."
These Wabash men are just a few examples. But there are so many more. Take Greg Birk '77 as an example. He majored in economics but now is a college counselor at an elite prep school in Houston Texas. Or, consider Brandon Mitchener '87 who studied German at Wabash which led to a journalism career in Europe. Ron Recinto '87 was a biology major at Wabash and surely became a doctor? No, Recinto is a features editor for the Detroit Free Press.
Wabash alumni use their liberal arts degrees in many fascinating ways. You can meet a few of our alums on our Alumni Profile page and see how divergent their careers are after a Wabash education.

The tea is prepared in a small yixing that only incurred a slight chip on the lid from the long journey from Korea to Canada. The energy of the little pot is a perfect match for the sample of big, full, dark chocolate brown leaves that are mixed with yellow and reddish varieties all of which look excessively healthy. The look of the leaves push curiosity to new levels.
This first brew is juicy and sweet and hints at unbearably complex underflavours, suggesting a nice long session. The tea is soft but immediately full in the mouth. Particularly, the nice light fruity air of this tea heightens expectations.
The cha qi brings quick clarity and peace, its energy is undeniably soothing. One meditates deeply with this tea for hours- infusion after infusion after infusion.

Office Blinds & Window Treatments
- Prevent reflection, glare and shadows
- Maintain temperature with insulating shades
- Light controlling blinds for a productive space
- Functional and decorative treatments
- Motorized lift options
There are a variety of office blinds and shades conducive to creating a comfortable and productive office space, whether at home or in a high rise. Shutters and wood blinds are classic office window treatment options that work well to let in natural light, but also have slats that may be tilted for optimum light control. Solar screens reduce incoming glare while maintaining the view to the outside and cellular shades provide privacy while allowing light to filter in or be blocked out, depending on the selected opacity.

"Best blind purchase yet"
By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland
These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.View this product
"Best blinds for daytime sleeping"
By daytimesleeper from Western NC
I work nights and needed something to block out the daylight so i can sleep. These work fantastic and actually block some heat as well. They did have a small manufacturing defect that blinds galore investigated and had them ship out a new set immediately.View this product

There are several reasons that I love fat clothing swaps. They are a great way to make new friends (if you aren't too shy!) and change up your wardrobe at the same time. They are also usually a nice space to explore different style choices and get lots of compliments in a fabulously body-positive atmosphere. And, if you're fat and sized out of most mall stores, plus-size swaps offer very important resources that you don't usually have access to (namely, clothing that fits for Goodwill-prices or–better yet!–free).
Some swaps are huge and benefit important non-profits, like next week's Big Fat Flea in NYC whose proceeds go to NOLOSE (and is less of a "swap" I guess, but is similar in purpose). Others are fancy affairs organized by fashion bloggers and activists with sponsors like Lush cosmetics (see 2011′s The Gold and the Beautiful for a great example of this). Local chapters of non-profit groups like NAAFA often hold swaps for their members. But my favorite kind of swap is the kind you do in your living room with 10-30 of your friends and several full-length mirrors.

Contador on Nevegal vs Horner on Sierra Road
I estimated the power taken for Contador to do the climb to Nevegal, which took him 20:58 from the checkpoint at the base of the climb to the summit:
600 meters climbed in 7.30 km for an average grade of 8.2%.
For direct comparison with Horner's Sierra Road climb I used the same numbers: 65 kg body mass, 6.8 kg bike, 1.5 kg of other stuff, 0.32 m² CdA. I reduced rolling resistance from 3% to 2.5% since Contador was on time trial tires. I still assumed 3% drivetrain loss. I used a power-speed model including inertia. I assumed he started the climb at 40 kph.
The result: 6.24 W/kg. This is lower than the 6.56 W/kg I had for Horner on Sierra Rd. Horner's VAM was 1916 m/hr while Contador was 1750 m/hr.
Of course it's not a fair comparison as Contador had finished two brutally tough stages immediately preceding the rest week the day before, and may not have fully recovered. It seems riders aren't having rest days as productive as they had a few years ago.

I think you have contador's weight way too high at 65kg most list him at 62kg but I would still bet it is less than that.

Thanks...Since I convert back to W/kg there's not much difference, however. I don't know Corner's mass either (just a guess).

I think it is not possible to compare two riders with a completely different race beyond them. One week versus two weeks, different stage structures, etc. What really covers the story well, is how Contador really beat everyone on the TT, even with taking the first part much more securely than Scarponi or Nibali. I was also calculating the VAMs, and got a bit surprised by Contador's value, but hey, he won by a huge margin at the end, so it is probably truly just the building fatigue of the peleton...

We are a ministry that wants to offer the best for our kids. We have great programs that offer the most effective teaching in a relevant environment. We have been without a logo for a couple of years and would like to have something that reflects the attitude of our church. Our current mission is to be Real, Relevant and Relentless as we pursue Christ in our church and in our community.
While we serve children nursery through 5th grade, we have always focused our artwork, music and lessons on the older children (4th& 5th). We figure that the young children like what the older kids like. I believe we have advanced taste for our audience...they really don't like little kid stuff. To be Real and Relevant...this needs to be a logo that is pleasing to kids and makes them feel proud to be a part of the ministry. We hope our kids will look at our logo with excitement and ownership!
I would like to stay away from primary colors and animals!!! Our church's name is Living Water and while I know the church name and our ministry name lends itself to "water", I'm open for that but would also like to look beyond it. I would like to move towards something more junior highish so that we don't grow out of it! Our old logo contained "Living Water Children's Community"...I liked that!

Remains recovered from a burned-out California mountain cabin following a standoff between police and a gunman this week have been positively identified as those of a fugitive ex-Los Angeles policeman accused of a grudge-fueled killing spree.
The remains, which were charred beyond recognition, were conclusively determined by the San Bernardino coroner to belong to Christopher Dorner, who led Southern California police on a massive manhunt before he died on Tuesday after a shootout with authorities, the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department said.
Dorner, a former U.S. Navy lieutenant who was fired by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008, was accused of killing four people, including a sheriff's deputy shot during his standoff on Tuesday in the San Bernardino Mountains.
The search for Dorner was described by authorities as the most extensive manhunt ever in Southern California.
An angry manifesto posted last week on Dorner's Facebook page claimed he had been wrongly terminated from the LAPD and vowed to seek revenge by unleashing "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" on police officers and their families.

MOORMAN, CHARLOTTE: Cello Anthology (4 CD box and book)
An Alga Marghen box with 154 page book and a lot of original documents, including full colour original posters and programmes from the New York Avant Garde Fesival, which Moorman organised between 1963 &1980. Her work with Nam Jun Paik has rather overshadowed the rest of her career so this collection re-inserts her in the heart of the New Music activities of the time. There are performances of works by Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Guisppe Chiari, Earle Brown, Sylvano Busotti, Stockhausen (+ robot) and others, a choral work performed by Paik, Ben Patterson, Philip Corner, Malcolm Goldstein and Jackson Mac Low, and of course collaborations with Nan Jun Paik (one with a tape collage made by Ornette Coleman, apparently). There is also a long interview with Moorman. Last few copies of a Limited Edition of 500 copies.

It's Not Just The Economy: State Must Cut Spending
Hartford Courant Editorial
January 25, 2013
Connecticut, one of the richest states per capita in the union, just can't seem to get on the plus side of the budget ledger.
It's past time that it did.
Despite a special session of the General Assembly called in December to eliminate a projected state budget deficit in the current fiscal year, revenues are lagging again and the state most likely will end the year in the red on June 30.
In a couple of weeks, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will present a new biennial budget with a $1.1 billion deficit papered over in each of the two years.
All this red ink after Mr. Malloy had to take care of a $3.5 billion budget deficit he inherited from Gov. M. Jodi Rell and the Democratic-controlled legislature when he assumed office in 2011.
What's going on here?
Too much spending, says the state's big-business lobby, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, with some justification.
In a sobering report issued last week, CBIA analysts said that state government spending has jumped 153 percent since 1992, outpacing population growth, inflation and median household income.
State employee health benefits have grown an astounding 981 percent, state employee pensions by 583 percent, debt service by 204 percent, Medicaid by 180 percent, and spending on the correction system has increased 178 percent since 1992, according to CBIA.
The report concludes that the pools of red ink are not "simply a function of an underperforming economy but also the product of state spending policy." Tough spending control decisions are needed, says CBIA President John Rathgeber, if Connecticut is to again attract jobs-producing businesses.
The business lobby rightly criticized the common practice of partially scaling back increases in spending and calling that a "spending cut."
CBIA didn't give the Malloy administration enough credit for the difficult changes it made in dismantling the inherited $3.5 billion structural deficit, complained an administration spokesman.
Both the report and the Malloy administration are right to a certain extent.
Mr. Malloy has had much more difficult budget challenges to face than either of his two immediate predecessors, John G. Rowland and Mrs. Rell, and has done well by comparison.
The governor, for example, downsized the state payroll, eliminated some agencies and collapsed others. He negotiated a two-year wage freeze with state workers' unions in exchange for job protection. He won agreement for steps that over time will reduce the cost of health and retirement benefits.
And yes, it's true, as the Malloy administration points out, that the economy is sluggish and that some 30 other states are also facing fiscal problems, so Connecticut isn't unusual in its budget misery.
But CBIA and other critics are right, too.
It's hard to escape the conclusion that the state could have gotten more out of its negotiations with the unions in 2011. Organized workers still have two more years of job protection, for example, and next year they will start getting raises again.
Harder bargaining is needed the next time a contract expires to get rid of excesses in union contracts such as figuring overtime pay in pension formulas.
Also, the use of bond money to attract businesses to Connecticut or to entice them to stay should be reviewed. Is it paying off?
A serious effort must be undertake to see whether some services can be more efficiently delivered on a regional basis. Connecticut can no longer afford the luxury of redundancy. For example, the 41 towns in the Greater Hartford Homeland Security Region have a total of 56 separate fire departments, some paid and some volunteer. Is that peak efficiency?
"Merging upward" that is, coming to some sort of service-sharing agreement with the federal government must be considered.
The Malloy administration any administration must remember that slowing spending growth is not the same thing as cutting spending.
Cuts must finally be given priority.

Deadly Storms
by Jan Adkins
Meteorologists love hurricanes because they are wonders of nature. But if you're on a ship at sea or in a house on the beach, a hurricane is not so pretty. The screaming winds and enormous waves can overturn a ship. At the shore they can punch out windows, knock down trees, or pluck the roofs from houses.
The most dangerous part of a hurricane's destruction is flooding. Hurricane winds can push the ocean water toward shore, building it up into a huge, rushing tide called a storm surge. Water level at the shore can rise 20 feet in just a few hours. The deadliest hurricane in United States history happened in 1900, when Galveston, Texas, was struck. In the big storm surge more than 6,000 people were killed. These days, with more and more people living in coastal cities, experts predict that if a hurricane hit without warning, the death toll could be even higher.
But scientists have learned a lot about hurricanes since 1900. Meteorologists can now track the path a hurricane takes and predict where it is likely to hit days in advance. When Hurricane Isabel swept toward the North Carolina coast in 2003, the National Hurricane Center was able to make forecasts five days ahead, and scientists were off by only one hour in their prediction of where and when Isabel's eye would make landfall. The information collected by the hurricane hunters improves the accuracy of such forecasts by 30 percent—saving thousands of lives.
- hurricane:
- A very powerful storm with extremely strong winds over 75 miles per hour and heavy rains.
- Why is it important to know when a hurricane forms?
[anno: It is important to know when a hurricane forms so that people can go where it is safe and make their homes ready for the storm.]
- Has a hurricane ever passed through your town or city? What was it like? What kind of sounds did you hear? What did you see? What did your town or city look like after the storm was over? If you have not lived through a hurricane, imagine what it might be like. Write a few sentences describing what it would be like to have a hurricane pass through your town or city.
[anno: Answers will vary but could include descriptions of strong winds, lots of rain, darkened skies, and destruction of property and buildings.]

More Devices: Android and iPhone 4
Among the tens of millions of worldwide Vuze users, almost 5 million of you are actively dragging and dropping videos from your library to enjoy Device Playback on iPhone, iPod, iPad, Xbox, PS3, PSP, Tivo, and Samsung Connected TVs. What are the rest of you waiting for? More devices, perhaps?
Today we're launching support for many of the most popular Android phones on the market, including:
- HTC Desire
- HTC Evo
- HTC Hero
- HTC Incredible
- HTC Magic
- HTC Wildfire
- Motorola Cliq
- Motorola Droid
- Motorola Droid X
- Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S)
- And more coming…
We're big believers in open platforms, and we're very happy to see the strong rise of the Android OS. If your Android device didn't make the list, tell us in the comments and we'll work to support it in the near future.
In addition to the new burst of Android support, we're also launching support for the iPhone 4 with 960 x 640 video resolution, so you can take full advantage of your gorgeous new Retina screen. Tired of hearing about the death grip and AntennaGate? Simply drag-and-drop to the iTunes icon in Vuze (bypassing the antenna altogether) and watch HD video on your iPhone 4.
While we're on the topic of devices, keep in mind that any mobile phone (or tablet) with a web browser can still manage downloads via Vuze Remote.
Feeling a Need for Speed?
We spend a lot of time thinking about how to deliver ever faster download speeds to you. Vuze 4.5 includes a number of behind-the-scene speed improvements. For many of you, the ultimate speed constraint is on your local area network. As part of Vuze 4.5 we've integrated a new speed test that will automatically optimize your Vuze settings for your network. The speed test will begin immediately after you launch the latest version of Vuze. We can't make house calls to install faster broadband pipes for all of you, but we can make sure that Vuze adapts to your network and delivers the fastest download speed possible over your internet connection. Many of you should see significant increases in download speed after the speed test.
Multi-file Torrent Support
Bittorrent is one of the most elegant technologies for efficiently distributing huge files over the web (leading to adoption by organizations including NASA, Facebook, and Twitter). One of the killer apps for bittorrent is allowing you to download multi-file torrents (those huge torrents that contain multiple files, or multiple songs within an album).
Bittorrent clients (including Vuze) have typically supported multi-file torrents with significant clunkiness (with separate library panels or pop-up dialogs). With this release, the Vuze team took some time to support multi-file torrents the right way — as an integrated part of your Library.
As a result, you'll be able to quickly prioritize the specific files you want to download within a multi-file torrent, or the sequence in which you want to download them.
Download Vuze 4.5, and give it a try!
