Hang Time: Making a Case for Picture Rails
Picture rails are strips of molding that adhere to walls and run horizontally around the room, typically aligning with the tops of any windows. This type of molding was once an elegant way of hanging artwork on hard-to-penetrate plaster walls.
Popular in New England and Southern townhouses during the Victorian era, picture rails may seem like a quaint throwback, but they can also look fresh today and serve a purpose.
For an art collector who often rotates works, rental houses and apartments with frequent tenant changes, and those who simply like walls free of nail holes, picture rails offer a practical solution.
Home stores typically carry a couple of options when it comes to picture rails, so it's easier than you'd think to track down this material. It's affordable, too. This 1-3/4″ primed option from The Home Depot runs just $1.05 per linear foot.
House of Antique Hardware carries Colonial Revival, Classic Ogee, Craftsman and Victorian picture molding options, if you're looking to match your home's original profiles.
Once the molding is in place, you'll need hardware that hooks around the molding's profile and carries the weight of the artwork. These hooks can be tough to find. Some local hardware shops carry options in their picture-hanging section, but you shouldn't rely on big box chains to have this specialty item.
Online sites Van Dyke's Restorers, House of Antique Hardware, and Rejuvenation carry great and affordable versions. Most common are 1/2″- and 1/4″-wide versions, with the 1/2″ tending to be more stable.
The standard finish is brass, but House of Antique Hardware carries a few satin white-, antique white-, and satin black-painted options. Use metal or invisible hanging wire (think fishing line) of the proper gauge to create a loop between the frame's hardware and the picture hook above.
If you really want an authentic Victorian look, these same sources also carry cord kits with a medallion plus hook, cord, and tassel. This look is not for the modern design aficionados among us, but rather for the preservationists and historically minded.
With a little bit of planning and forethought, existing homes and new construction alike can benefit from nail hole-free walls.

The DOS/GMU may conduct periodic site visits to review grant compliance, assess management controls, assess the applicable activities and provide technical assistance. In addition, the subgrantee agrees to provide any data or information needed for the purposes of monitoring and program evaluation.
Supplanting funds is loosely defined (for these purposes) as using federal grant money to "replace" or "take the place of" existing local funding for equipment or programs. The funds are intended to provide local entities with increased capabilities or to build capacity to address CBRNE/WMD terrorist incidents. Federal Homeland Security grant funds cannot be used to replace aged, local equipment; instead they are intended to help increase capabilities. The funds are not to be used to replace items that are worn out/broken or for replacing (supplanting) routine local budget expenses.
Arrangements with individuals must ensure that:
Applicants shall use their own procurement procedures and regulations if they are more stringent than Federal Requirement 28 CFR Part 66 (formerly OMB Circular A-102) or OMB Circular A-110, as applicable. Minimum compliance is the federal standard. All efforts to expedite the procurement process should be made.
DOS will issue a Closeout Letter to the jurisdiction. Officials of the jurisdiction are asked to sign, date, and return a copy of the Closeout Letter to DOS. Monitoring visits will likely follow.
Entry level:
Please note that for grant eligibility, NH DOS/GMU requires ICS to the 200 level for first responders and ICS 300/400 for fire chief officers and others.
For further information, please contact Captain Robert Pragoff at the DOS – Fire Standards and Training and EMS (603-223-4200).

"Officials at many colleges have come to see the net-price calculator as something that could make a big difference in their admissions outcomes, rather than a routine matter of compliance." (Beckie Supiano, The Chronicle of Higher Education)
There's no doubt that newly mandated college calculators are a valuable resource to students searching for the school with the "glass slipper fit". A new idea, however, suggests that these nifty number-pluggers are more than just a calculation tool but an extension of the school's brand itself.
Why, then, would it be valuable for schools to invest in a generic calculator—one kin to calculators featured on competitors' websites?
Federal-issued calculators are bone dry on the customization level. Clients who choose to invest in calculators developed by mainstream companies—such as College Board—will just have the "custom features" of their website's design plugged into an even bigger calculator (one yielding the same 'answer' for all of its clients in terms of web design).
When it comes to customization (i.e. incorporating custom financial information and branding into a completely unique net price calculator), federal and highly commercialized calculators are the evil stepsisters chasing that glass slipper.
To experience the functionality and customization that The Whelan Group's Net Price Calculators offers, read more and then schedule a demo.
Clients looking to develop a calculator through TWG can do so at a discounted price before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.

ECU, ECSD & Secret Service Bust Counterfeit Ring
The 05/08/2007 edition of the Lansing State Journalreported on over 200 area people being investigated for Social Security, Department of Human Services, and other frauds. Over $330,000 in fraud is connected to Eaton and Ingham Counties. (Similar fraud in Berrien, Kalamazoo, Ottawa and Calhoun Counties totaled an additional $840,000.) The Eaton County Prosecuting Attorney's Economic Crimes Unit is heading the prosecution of cases in both counties. Many cases involve people fraudently obtaining replacement Social Security checks and being paid twice. A pre-charging diversion has been offered so people can avoid criminal prosecution if they pay full restitution plus a diversion fee.
ECU, ECSD & Secret Service Bust Counterfeit Ring
The 03/23/2007 edition of the Lansing State Journal reported on recent arrests connected to a string of counterfeit currency and checks that were passed in mid-Michigan.
ECU Tops $1,000,000 Mark in Bad Check Collections for Local Merchants
In June 2006, the Economic Crime Unit (ECU) reached another milestone. Since its creation four years ago, the Economic Crime Unit has now returned over One Million Dollars to Eaton County businesses through its Retail Fraud and Bad Check diversion programs!
ECU's Rental Property Diversion
The Economic Crime Unit recently launched a new diversion program for businesses in Eaton County. The ECU is now offering a Rental Property diversion program, which is free to businesses and is designed to help with the recovery of past-due rental items. This program will be similar to the ECU bad check diversion program. Businesses have the opportunity to file a complaint with the ECU if a renter does not return rental property on the due date. In order to use the program businesses must follow certain procedures.
Steps for Using the Rental Property Diversion Program:
- There must be a written rental agreement in place.
- A past due rental property notification letter must be sent to the renter by certified or registered mail.
- If there is no response to the notice letter, submit the rental property complaint sheet by mail or fax to the ECU.
Businesses can recover the value or cost of the unreturned property, reasonable late fees and the certified or registered letter charge. Once a business files a complaint, the late fees are limited to those listed on the complaint. Late fees will not be calculated after a complaint is submitted.
Rental Property diversion forms are available on the ECU website (Downloads page or ECU section), or by contacting the Economic Crime Unit office at (517) 703-0572.

Third Eye Crime is a promising puzzle game for iOS that we got to spend some time playing at GDC 2013. Players have to guide a thief through a maze filled with security guards without getting caught. Sounds simple, right? Wait until you see how many guards there are later on in the game and how big their guns are. Luckily, your character can read minds, so you can see where guards have visibility, and around which corners they think you are. To keep things interesting, each level has a comic book style interstitial which tells the game's chilling tale of intrigue.
Though the premise of a psychic art burglar in a film noir graphic novel setting is a little out there, the developer explained that it really came from a common artificial intelligence mechanic. Basically, when you play any game with AI opponents, these visibility cones and pathfinding maps already exist in some capacity, except they're typically hidden in the background. By explicitly showing these regions, levels can be made much more difficult, and some might say interesting.
I'm pretty excited to try out Third Eye Crime when it comes out in early June. 80 - 90 levels should be plenty to chew on for awhile. What do you guys think?

The use of exclusively vegetable dyed leathers and zero harmful chemicals means that environmental impact and waste are significantly minimised. Only 60 shoes are made of each style, making them limited edition pieces. All uppers are comprised of a single piece of vegetable dyed leather, stretched over the shoe last then stitched – rather than glued – to a leather welt. Each shoe is lightly steamed on the last mold for up to ten days, ensuring a superior fit and durability.

New for AW15 is the Triple Wrap series, using a completely new construction technique where the midsole of the shoe is wrapped in leather three times instead of just once, producing a robust, chunky sole. FEIT AW15 presents innovative classic and seasonal designs led by traditional construction techniques, keeping true to the ethos and ideals of FEIT that have been developed and practiced successfully over the last 10 years.

Kaylee: You like ships. You don't seem to be lookin' at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.
Book: She don't look like much.
Kaylee: Oh, she'll fool ya.
Kaywinnit Lee Frye is one of our absolute favorite fictional women. She's got smarts, she can fix just about anything mechanical, she's sweet and friendly and honest (sometimes too honest!), and she can rock oily coveralls or a pink foofaraw.
This messenger bag was inspired by Kaylee's work outfit: the oily coveralls and bright floral top. The bag is made of green canvas and features the same patches from Kaylee's coveralls: a brown teddy bear, a red heart, and a blue flower. The lining of the bag is floral. There are two side pockets, two pockets under the front flap, and four small pockets that line the interior, so you can fit in your strawberries, spare engine parts, and that thing what runs on batteries.
Product Specifications

|Laptop Fitting Guide
| Measure your laptop.
Like TVs, laptops are listed by their measurement on the diagonal. Bags, on the other hand, are measured on the edges. Not all 17" laptops are the same size, so you'll need to measure the length & width of your closed laptop.
"But my laptop is at home, ThinkGeek!"
If you can't wait, Google has superpowers to tell you the dimensions of your laptop if you ask it nicely. Just input the make and model of your laptop and ye shall receive.
"I've got the measurements! Now what?"
Compare your laptop's measurements to the measurements of the bag. If the laptop's measurements are smaller than the bag, it fits! If one or more of the laptop's measurements are bigger, you're out of luck with this bag. Try another.

Oh Happy Day
I got a 32 qt turkey fryer from the parents today (for my birthday) so now I dont have to bother my brother in law to borrow his burner. Plus the pot is 304 stainless, now I just need a couple more and a stand and I can have a system. What I would actually like to have is some of those elec. elements that were in last months BYO, so that I can brew indoors. Some of those systems in the last issue were very impressive. Something to work towards I guess. The nit wit still hasnt finished, I may try adding a little more yeast to see if that helps. Later,

Leaders Unveil a Black Agenda
Leaders Unveil a Black Agenda
By Richard B. Muhammad Special to the NNPA from The Final Call
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Conveners of a gathering to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March On Washington released a five-point agenda as a first step toward a public policy list for Black America.
The broad areas were unveiled by "Big 4" conveners Marc Morial of the National Urban League, Rev. Al Sharpton of the National Action Network, Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP and Melanie Campbell of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, at an Aug. 23 session at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The "urgent domestic goals" included efforts to "achieve economic parity for African Americans; promote equity in educational opportunity; protect and defend voting rights; promote a healthier nation by eliminating healthcare disparities and achieve comprehensive criminal justice system reform."
The "21st Century Agenda for Jobs and Freedom" was the result of meetings last December and in January, said conveners. Participants included nearly 60 leading civil rights, social justice, business and community leaders. Besides face-to-face meetings were numerous conference calls, according to Morial.
"It's different because, candidly, we have allowed the sometimes inaccurate perception that we cannot unify our voices to get in the way," he said. "We decided instead of joining the chorus of cynics and complainers, that we would create a new course and that would be the course of unity, cooperation and collaboration."
Fifty years later, there must be a continuation around an agenda not marching or protesting for its own sake, he said.
The agenda offers a foundation and statement of principle that hopefully others will embrace and help craft strategies to accomplish the goals, said the Urban League CEO.
The 1963 March had goals, which included fair housing and voting rights, he added.
"Fifty years after the I Have A Dream speech, there is still too much business left for us to do," said Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP.
He cited a litany of victories in the midst of struggle: passage of a Dream Act for immigrant youth, gun safety, early voting, same day voter registration, marriage equality laws, and ending the death penalty in Maryland. In New York, he continued, the city council overrode a mayoral veto of a bill designed to halt racial profiling by police.
Common ground was found with the GOP in Georgia and Tea Party supporters in Texas to reform prisons and downsize penal institutions, he said.
There is still the fight against voter ID laws and other changes seen as efforts to suppress voting in places like North Carolina and Florida, said Jealous. Mass incarceration is perhaps the biggest issue, despite problems in education and unemployment, he said. In too many regions Republican governors have been more willing to downsize prisons than Democratic governors, "that needs to change," said the head of the nation's oldest civil rights group.
Melanie Campbell said the destruction of voting rights keeps the have-nots without and allows for erosion of other liberties. The 5-point agenda provides a focus for what needs to done today and ensure progress 50 years from now, Campbell added.
Fifty years later Blacks are "confronted with some of the same problems and new problems," observed Rev. Sharpton.
"The reason we have not made the progress we needed is we've been too disconnected," said the MSNBC TV host and Radio One talk show host. "We've been too worried who would get the credit rather than fighting the fight."
Yet with talk of common ground, new unity, and mutual respect there was a missing voice. A question about his absence came when the day-long session was opened to audience participation.
"One leader that seems to be remotely absent, in the march this year is a leader who has been incredibly effective … and that's Min. Louis Farrakhan," said Byron Engall from Uptown magazine, when he stepped up to the microphone. There was hush over the crowd and then applause.
"When Minister Farrakhan convened the Million Man March and Millions More Movement, it was seen as operational unity for all perspectives," said Ron Daniels, president of the Institute for the Black World 21st Century. "I don't think these leaders make any pretense but that this (gathering) is of a certain historical tendency, it is the King-integrationist tendency."
Daniels said he didn't think it was unusual or unexpected that the Nation of Islam minister was not invited, although he disagrees with the decision. He said, We think there is enough room at the table."
Leonard Dunston, however, former president of the National Association of Black Social Workers, called Minister Farrakhan's absence offensive. He explained, "Here's a man who was able to mobilize two million Black men … for him not to be invited is a miscarriage of justice to be perfectly honest with you."

Nasal flaring is when the nostrils widen when you breathe. It is often a sign that is it difficult to breathe.
Alternative Names
Flaring of the alae nasi (nostrils); Nostrils – flaring
Nasal flaring is seen mostly in infants and younger children.
Any condition that causes difficulty breathing can cause nasal flaring. While many causes of nasal flaring are not serious, some can be life threatening.
In young infants, nasal flaring can be a very important symptom of respiratory distress.
Common Causes
Asthma(acute) Airway obstruction(any cause)
- Bronchiolitis
Croup Epiglottitis(acute)
- Pneumonia
- Transient tachypnea of the newborn
Home Care
Seek immediate emergency help if you or your child has signs of a breathing difficulty.
Call your health care provider if
Call your health care provider if:
There is any persistent, unexplained nasal flaring, especially in a young child.
Bluish colordevelops in the lips, nail beds, or skin. This is a sign that breathing difficultyis severe and may mean that an emergency condition is developing.
- You think that your child is having trouble breathing.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the symptoms and medical history, such:
- When did the symptoms start?
- Are they getting better or worse?
- Is the breathing noisy, or are there
- What other symptoms are there, such as sweating or feeling tired?
- Do the muscles of the stomach, shoulders, or rib cage pull inward during breathing? (See:
intercostal retractions)
The doctor or nurse will listen carefully to the breath sounds. This is called
Tests that may be done include:
- Arterial blood gas analysis
Complete blood count(CBC) ECG
- Pulse oximetry to measure blood oxygen level
X-rays of the chest

Course Description
This Humanities capstone course is designed to help students synthesize the learning and skills acquired in their BLA program and prepare them for postgraduate life. Opportunities to reflect on educational choices and their consequences, to articulate significant ideas and experiences, and to discern remaining gaps will be facilitated by the use of common course texts and class discussions. Additionally, students will prepare a portfolio showcasing their skills as graduating seniors. They will also assist with the organization of the UAS Humanities Conference and will present their work to a public audience as part of the conference. Student work will be evaluated by instructor(s) and a team of external reviewers. Graded Pass/No Pass. Prerequisite: senior standing in the BA English or BLA Art, Communications, English, General Studies, or Human Communication. Instructor permission.
Instructor(s) will select a common course text with broad appeal that can provide students with a model of a well-written reflection and a point of reference and opportunity to compare their different educational perspectives and life choices, to reflect upon their diverse responses to the text, and to articulate future social responsibilities. A bibliography of possible common course texts is available but the selections will be left up to the instructor(s) discretion.Common UAS Humanities Conference readings (poetry, short stories, novella, etc) will also be assigned and will vary from year to year depending upon the conference theme.
Grade Based Upon
Students will fulfill all of the following requirements in order to receive a "pass" for the course:
- Attend all class sessions and participate in all discussions of course text(s) and conference readings.
- Write a response/reaction to each reading assignment.
- Work collaboratively with other students on planning, organizing, and coordinating the UAS Humanities Conference (held in April). The focus of the conference will vary from year to year.
- Present research or creative activity at the UAS Humanities Conference or other public event.
- Prepare a portfolio that showcases their abilities as a BLA student in the Humanities. It will include: 1) a reflective cover letter, 2) a resume, 3) a statement of professional philosophy or objectives, 4) a substantial example of their best work (e.g., slides, a collection of poems, a novella, a seminar paper, a video tape of conference presentation, workshop facilitation, or theatrical performance, etc.). With permission of the instructor, students may also create an electronic portfolio. Whatever form this portfolio takes, this work should be a compilation and fine-tuning of efforts started and developed in previous classes and, ideally, not originate in this course.
- Assist peers with portfolio preparation in role of peer reader and active listener.
- Prepare and pass an external evaluation of their work. In order to pass this course, the Humanities Conference presentation, and the portfolio, the student must receive a "pass" evaluation from their instructors and from a panel of external reviewers. This panel will include two humanities faculty members and a member of the community. If the student does not pass this external review, they will be required to repeat the course.

All about: Decahist-DM
Generic Name: carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine (kar bi NOX a meen/dex troe meh THOR fan/soo doe eh FEH drin)
Brand Names: Andehist DM NR, Carbaxef-DM, Carbofed DM Drops, Cordron-DM NR, Decahist-DM, Mintex DM, Pediatex-DM, PSE Allergy DM, PSE Carb DM Drops, PSE Carbinoxamine DM, Pseudo Carb DM
What is Decahist-DM (carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?
Carbinoxamine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It suppresses an area in the brain that causes coughing.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat sneezing, cough, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, hives, skin rash, itching, and other symptoms of allergies and the common cold.
Carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Do not use carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. Carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Decahist-DM (carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine)?Do not use carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take carbinoxamine, dextromethorphan, and pseudoephedrine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.

Second graders at J.S. Jenks Elementary School in Chestnut Hill participated in "Pictures and Words," a Barnes Foundation workshop, on Friday, Jan. 25.
Diane Pieri, a teaching artist and Barnes Foundation educator, asked the children to be "art detectives" and discussed the clues in Edouard Manet 's painting entitled "Laundry" ("Le Linge") of 1875. Students learned some of the basic elements of art including color, line, shape, space and texture. Afterwards, the students created a collaborative work of art entitled "After Laundry." Their drawings depicted what could happen next.
The workshop was sponsored by a grant from GlaxoSmithKline, The Hamilton Family Foundation and the Syde Hurdus Foundation. The workshop includes a visit to the Barnes Foundation and a second in-classroom lesson after the visit to the gallery.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Sunday suggested Israel get fully on board with US Secretary of State John Kerry's current peace push, noting that the American's proposals were the best Israel could expect from the international community.
Speaking at a gathering of Israeli ambassadors in Jerusalem, Lieberman said he appreciated Kerry's serious approach to the question of Israeli security, as well as his support for Israel's demand to be recognized as a Jewish state. Kerry's most recent framework proposal allowed for Israel to maintain a military presence in the Jordan Valley for the foreseeable future, while trading the rest of the so-called "West Bank" for explicit recognition by the Palestinian Authority for "the Jewish state."
"Any alternative proposals brought forward by the international community will suit us much less," said the typically-hawkish foreign minister, who just months earlier insisted there was no hope of peace with the current Palestinian leadership.
That might still be the case, actually. Kerry's proposals have been rejected out of hand by the Palestinian leadership and by the Arab League, though the American reported on Monday that he had obtained the backing of both Saudi Arabia and Jordan for a more vague proposal aimed at getting Israel and the Palestinians to reach a kind of interim agreement in the near future.
In the interim, Lieberman is keen to make his own amendments to any US-brokered deal. In particular, Lieberman insists there must be a small land and population swap included in the agreement. Under his vision, Israel would retain the large Jewish "settlement blocs" in Judea and Samaria, while the Palestinian Authority would gain sovereignty over the so-called "Triangle," an area in the Lower Galilee populated primarily by Arabs.

About a month ago, the Brookings Institution's Bill Gale made what I thought–and still think–is a brilliant analogy between budget baselines and weight loss goals at an event about the debt limit deal's "super committee." I liked it so much that I quoted from the transcript in my very next Tax Notes column (republished on the Concord Coalition site here), and I'd like to re-quote it here (emphasis added):
In terms of an example, think about this the following way: Suppose you've been eating badly the last, let's say, 10 years, and you've been gaining a lot of weight and you want to lose weight and you want to lose 15 pounds. Well, we won't go with 1.5 trillion pounds. You want to lose 15 pounds. The question is, compared to what?
Now, the way we'd usually think about it is, well, compared to where I am right now I want to lose 15 pounds. There's another way to think about it, though, which is to say, well, I've been eating badly for 10 years. If I continue to eat badly the next 10 years I'm going to gain 45 more pounds, so I'm going to lose 15 pounds relative to that increase of 45 pounds that I'm going to do over the next decade.
Now, nobody that's serious about losing weight builds in a 45-pound weight increase and then says, "I'm going to lose 15 pounds relative to that." But using one of the baselines, the policy-extended one, as the standard for a deficit reduction goal would be the equivalent of increasing the deficit by $4.5 trillion and then saying, "I'm going to cut it by $1.5 trillion [in other words, increase it by $3 trillion relative to current law]."
In that same Tax Notes column of mine, called "Three Ways to the Current-Law Revenue Baseline," I explained why I wanted the super committee to adopt a revenue goal of achieving a level of revenues consistent with the current-law baseline. First, there are lots of ways to get there, and all aren't too bad or so hard–the easiest option being the "do nothing" approach where Congress simply (goes home(?) and) avoids passing any new tax legislation–including any extension of any part of the Bush tax cuts, which have always been deficit financed. Second, committing to those levels of revenues would insure getting our deficits down to clearly economically sustainable levels (not just borderline sustainable or "not quite" sustainable) over the next 10 to 20 years, while we'll probably still be waiting for entitlement reform to either get done or materialize. I pointed out that the super committee did not have to decide right now (or figure out how Congress and the Administration would actually agree to) the specific tax policy that would produce those current-law revenue levels. All they would have to do is demand that the Bush tax cuts comply with strict pay-as-you-go rules going forward, such that any extension of any part of them would no longer be deficit financed.
In Bill's lingo, they'd have to commit to not "eating" any more of those very fattening deficit-financed tax cuts. In Bill's lingo, that's the way they'd really commit to changing their bad habits and thus not gain any more weight–not one pound of what would otherwise be a 45-pound weight increase.
Well, yesterday the President unveiled his deficit-reduction plan, one that has been characterized as qualifying as a "go big" approach–by the Administration, of course, but also by none other than Bill Gale, here, when he says (emphasis added):
The debt-limit deal signed in August had two parts. OMB estimates that the first part will reduce spending by $1.2 trillion (this may seem confusing, because the commonly-used figure for this part was $900 billion originally).
In combination with the debt-limit deal, then, the new proposals would (a) pay for the stimulus package the President proposed and (b) still reduce 10-year deficits by $4.4 trillion. Changes of this size constitute "going big" in current budget parlance and should be applauded.
In contrast, the Joint Select Committee needs to come up with "just" $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction to avoid the automatic second-round cuts. The president is asking Congress to go well beyond that and make a much more significant dent in the fiscal problem now.
Well, by the Administration's own numbers, the plan's revenue-gaining proposals raise nearly $1.6 trillion over ten years. But that's only after the Administration first cuts revenues by $3.9 trillion to adjust to their "policy-extended" baseline that assumes that under "business as usual" the entirety of the Bush(/Obama) tax cuts and Alternative Minimum Tax relief would be extended and deficit financed. On net, this means that relative to current law (the purview of legislators, by the way), the President's revenue proposals for "deficit reduction"–you know, his more "balanced" approach for deficit reduction because it supposedly includes higher revenue–would actually reduce revenues and increase deficits by $2.3 trillion ($3.9 trillion minus $1.6 trillion, from tables S-1 and S-2 in the Administration's report) over ten years.
So, relating this to Bill Gale's original analogy of someone who wants to change his ways and avoid what would otherwise be a 45-pound weight gain from his "eating as usual" diet that's very heavy on deficit-financed tax cuts, the President's new "diet plan" would indeed avoid the 45-pound weight gain, but would still lead to a 26.5-pound weight gain–as $2.3 trillion in deficit-financed tax cuts is 59 percent (still the bulk of) of the $3.9 trillion worth of all of the possible deficit-financed tax cuts, and 59 percent of 45 pounds is 26.5 pounds.
Now, I want to give credit where credit is due, and certainly the President's plan is:
- far better than the Republican approach of suggesting even more deficit-financed tax cuts coupled with draconian (I would call "heartless") cuts in spending; and
- considerably better than the "business as usual" policy-extended baseline–that worst-case scenario where all of the expiring tax cuts are all extended and deficit financed.
But I think we should all take note that for all the work and hard choices the Obama Administration put into this plan, it still is "worse"–still falls short of–deficit reduction under the "Do Nothing" approach where all the expiring tax cuts just actually expire.
If I actually had a personal goal of avoiding a 45-pound weight gain and was told I could achieve that by doing nothing versus going on a "tough" and specific alternative diet that would lead to "only" a 26.5-pound gain, I don't think I'd be that persuaded to sign up for that diet.
And if I instead was told that I could just commit to the equivalent of "doing nothing" in terms of my weight gain, that instead of starving myself completely off my favorite bad-habits food (letting my access to that particular food disappear as scheduled, analogous to letting the tax cuts expire) I could keep some of that favorite yummy-but-fattening food in my diet, but add enough additional exercise to offset the caloric impact?….Well, then sticking to the "do nothing" weight-gain goal (and avoiding the full 45 additional pounds) wouldn't seem so awful and austere after all.
(I eat a LOT of sweets by the way, but I also do a lot of yoga.)
So, Bill Gale and I have been having a little bit of a personal disagreement over whether I'm being too much a "Debbie (or Diane) Downer" on this. I mean, can't I emphasize my usual "glass is half full" perspective? Well, in this case, no. I've always thought that the current-law revenue baseline is the right goal for tax policy going forward, and I especially think that's true now. If the President wanted to "go big" with an approach that's a big contrast to the Republican approach, he should have "gone bigger" with revenues. Falling short of "doing nothing" is far from good enough. And I say this not because I'm a pessimist, but because I'm an optimist and truly believe we can do much better than this.

Police Department
"Click It or Ticket" Enforcement
The Lincoln Police Department is participating in the National "Click It or Ticket" Enforcement, from May 24th through June 6th, 2010. Officers are conducting enforcement throughout the city, concentrating on areas with high injury accident rates. We will be placing special emphasis on those drivers who are not wearing a seatbelt. We will also be watching closely for child restraint violations. The Nebraska Office of Highway Safety is providing funding for additional officers to assist with this enforcement.
Wearing a seat belt is still the single most effective thing we can do to save lives and reduce injuries on Lincoln's roadways. In 2009, Lincoln Police wrote 4,469 seat belt and child restraint violation citations. Those citations decreased 14% from the total in 2008 of 5,203. Our goal is to continue this trend and help increase Nebraska's statewide safety belt usage rate to 90.6%.
Reduce your risk with a simple click. Buckle up.

Blame the Economy!
Alright, so everyone I'm sure knows about how much of a pickle the world's economy is in right? And I'm sure that everyone has some problems that are not related to the economy, and want them solved right?
I've come up with the most simple solution to ALL those problems.
Blame the economy! After all, we blame the economy on everything else don't we? We use it as an excuse not to spend money (and that my friends is called a recession, which just makes the economy WORST), and now we can use it as an excuse for everything else.
For example, "Your new shirt is wrecked? I blame the economy!" or "I can't even find this post in your world, ChibiSasuke! I blame the economy!"
After a while I think it might just catch on. I mean, we already have a list of stupid excuses we can use, why not add one more? It can be valid in most cases.
In the end, the economy is what makes our world go CRASH BOOM. So go ahead! Say it aloud! (Most) people will understand what you're getting at!
Make sure the next time your teacher asks why you haven't finished your homework assignment that was due 3 weeks ago, you blame the economy.

Review: Piven fails to deliver 'The Goods'
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard
Comedy. Starring Jeremy Piven, Kathryn Hahn and James Brolin. Directed by Neal Brennan. (R. 90 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
Something about "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" feels forgettable, even though, in the moment, it's often very funny. In a way, it's unfair to call a movie forgettable, because about 80 percent of the movies we take seriously are probably also forgettable, at least in the grand scheme. But this one feels forgettable today, which makes it almost interesting - so forgettable it's practically memorable.
It stars Jeremy Piven as a wheeler-dealer freelance car salesman who comes to a small California city, along with a crack team of associates, to boost sales at a venerable dealership. The movie trades on the persona that Piven has built up over the past few years, in feature films and in the HBO show "Entourage," of a blustering, sell-snow-to-the-Eskimos fast talker who can say anything, do anything and get away with everything. So the surprise here is that Piven is the movie's weak link.
Or maybe the weakness is in the role. In any case, there's a big element of seductiveness missing in Don Ready (Piven), the central character, and it's clear from the first minutes. In an early scene, he decides that he wants to smoke on an airplane. When a flight attendant warns him that that's illegal, he launches into a defense of smoking and freedom that's intended to showcase his verbal flair and charm. But the speech impresses the people in the movie more than the people in the audience. It just doesn't dazzle.
Aside from Don, "The Goods" has some very good things about it: It has a healthy streak of nastiness, and it's not afraid of absurdity. It goes for the jugular. If logic is in the way of a punch line, goodbye logic. If a character's personality stands in the way of a laugh, the personality is distorted.
In another movie, this might seem a form of laziness. Here it's more like mischievousness and exuberance. Nobody on the other side of the camera is pretending that "The Goods" might be a classic. Like a crooked car dealer going after sales, the filmmakers distort, lie, cheat, inflate and exaggerate to get their laughs, and most of the time, they succeed.
One funny running bit has James Brolin, as the dealership owner, making flirtatious sexual innuendoes in the direction of Brent (David Koechner), one of the salesmen. Nothing about the dealer reads gay, and he has a wife and kids. The element is there just for the shock of the unexpected. In a similar spirit, Kathryn Hahn, as one of Don's sales agents, keeps trying to seduce the dealer's son. She knows the boy is only 10 years old, but a genetic disorder gives him the body of a large 35-year-old man. So she doesn't care.
Hahn played Milly, the next-door neighbor in "Revolutionary Road," so it comes as a double surprise to see that she can be both funny and glamorous when she wants to be. The great virtue of "The Goods" - the thing that makes it hard to dismiss - is that it has a cast that really knows comedy. Brolin, Hahn, Koechner, Rob Riggle (as the 10-year-old), Will Ferrell (in a cameo) and even Ving Rhames (also part of the sales team) find the right tone, and they all have a light touch.
Only Piven pushes and strains like someone with something to prove - and doesn't make the sale.

Would You Try an Asymmetrical Bob like Rihanna and Kellie?
Blame it on Victoria Beckham — every since she razored off her hair, we've been seeing more and more stars crop their locks in asymmetrical bobs like hers (even husband David!). And they're proving that you don't need Posh's bone structure to pull it off. Rihanna and Kellie Pickler gave major jolts to their overall looks with their sleek styles. L.A. based celeb stylist Umberto Savone tells PEOPLE that "more and more women are coming in looking for it. The asymmetrical bob is a very good summer look if it's cut right." But a word to the wise — show your stylist some photos to make sure you're getting the look you want, and not a Flock of Seagulls redux. Tell us: Is this a look you would try? Would you wear an asymmetrical bob?

Sort by Type:
The motorcycle lift tables we offer can generally be divided into three categories: pneumatic, air over hydraulic, and electric over hydraulic. Pneumatic motorcycle lift tables are most common. They generally are rated to 1,000 lbs and operate quickly by way of compressed air. Air over hydraulic motorcycle lift tables typically are rated to 1,500 lbs or more and they are best suited to customers needing to lift vehicles heavier than the average Harley, such as "side by sides" and trikes. Electric over hydraulic tables are the most expensive, the smoothest operating, and also the slowest tables available. For a detailed guide in selecting your table please click HERE

Tough Times May Also Bring Opportunities
Faced with the double whammy of a slowing economy and skyrocketing fuel prices, the airline industry is in turmoil. Five U.S. airlines (Aloha, ATA, Eos, MAXjet, and Skybus) have gone belly-up. Delta and Northwest are merging, and United is desperately trying to find a suitable partner.
How will all this affect you? Airlines have been instituting one fare hike after another, and the mergers will make it easier to continue doing so. Mergers not only allow airlines to cut costs, but also to increase their "pricing power"—less competition means they can demand higher fares. They're also looking for new revenue sources by applying fuel charges, bringing back the Saturday-night-stay requirement, and tacking on fees (for checking two bags, changing an itinerary, getting a window seat, and more). On some American Airlines flights, flight attendants are even hawking books and electronics.
But while the airline industry can streamline relatively quickly—both through mergers and by cutting routes and grounding planes—the hotel industry can't. What's built is built (turning a hotel into a condo isn't a solution when mortgages are in short supply). To fill rooms that would otherwise go empty—and they will if air capacity continues to shrink—hotel companies are usually willing to discount.
Companies are likely to promote fire sales to people who are members of their loyalty programs, so sign up now—and subscribe to their e-mail newsletters, too. Moreover, it's a good time to get familiar with blind-search sites such as Hotwire and Priceline.Because when the going gets tough, the tough need to shop aggressively if they want a deal.

MIDDLEBURY/BRANDON — Left without a venue for its annual summer production due to the ongoing renovations at the Town Hall Theater, the Opera Company of Middlebury instead is bringing English-style opera in the country to the Champlain Valley.
Next month the company will host "A Touch of Glyndebourne," an event that invites guests to tour and picnic on the grounds of Fran Bull's Gallery in-the-Field in Brandon before enjoying a musical performance in the art gallery.
"It's one of the most beautiful spots in the county," said Douglas Anderson, executive director of the THT and director of the upcoming opera. "The studio, where we will have the production, is more like a small, air-conditioned barn. It seemed the perfect spot for a gem of an opera."

ADDISON COUNTY — The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will soon hire a consultant to do an inventory of existing septic systems that are working in difficult clay soils and determine whether those systems could be more widely used in Addison County.
Many local building projects and subdivisions remain on hold in the county due to the inability of developers to put in septic systems that will pass state permitting standards. Much of that has to do with Addison County clay, a largely impermeable substance that can lead to sewage effluent surfacing on top of the leach fields — something that is prohibited under state rules.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Friday, March 17, 2006
One for the ladies
...and for at least some of the gentlemen as well, no doubt.
I don't have a very large sampling of Cosmopolitan magazines from the 50's so I couldn't say if an early moon rising was a regular occurance in those pages but I have to say this is the only example I've ever seen of this phenomenon.
Leave it to Cosmo art editor Frank Eltonhead to choose illustrator Austin Briggs to render the bare essentials. No other illustrator of the time could better present Cosmo's readers with such a manly man. Its fun to imagine what sort of image might have emerged from Cosmo regular Jon Whitcomb's paint brush by comparison!
With this image we conclude our look at the naked 50's - but this piece by Briggs provides the perfect segue to introduce next week's topic: Austin Briggs - and if you think today's illustration was risqué, wait 'til you see what I've got in store for you on Monday!
4 comments:
I'm smellin some Briggs 'Flash Gordon' on the horizon perhaps?ReplyDelete
Hhmmm... not that I have anything against Brigg's Flash Gordon, Dom, but I think I'll leave his comic art to others and showcase his "straight" illustration work here. :-)ReplyDelete
I can't argue with a butt like that! Ya posted this just for me, didn't you? :PReplyDelete

Pelini, Stoops Share Roots, Beliefs and a Vision for Championship Football
Randy York's N-sider
SAN DIEGO - It was like a slice of film straight out of a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. Two Youngstown, Ohio, natives, who grew up together and came within a whisker of guiding their teams into BCS bowl games this year, met the press here Tuesday at the Omni Hotel.
They discussed the roots and the beliefs they share and the vision they have "to make some noise" in pursuit of a 2010 national championship, regardless of which young team wins Wednesday night's nationally televised Pacific Life Holiday Bowl showdown at Qualcomm Stadium.
Pelini and Stoops didn't need Urban Meyer in the room to explain why balance has been buried in their respective psyches since the day Ron Stoops suffered a massive heart attack during a triple-overtime high school game in 1988. Only 54 years old, he died in the ambulance.
Four of Stoops' football coaching sons from the hardscrabble steel town of Youngstown, Ohio, weren't the only young men shattered by the news.
"Mike's father was a second father for me," Pelini said of the legendary defensive coordinator at Cardinal Mooney High School, where the Stoops and the Pelini families spent seemingly every waking moment studying defensive formations.
They were so addicted to that year-round challenge, if you didn't know better, you'd think Bob and Mike and Mark Stoops and Bo and Carl Pelini were figuring out how an "X" could cancel an "O" at the same time they were learning the alphabet.
When Ron Stoops died, Carl, Nebraska's defensive coordinator, was coaching with him at Cardinal Mooney. Bo, a sophomore at Ohio State at the time, still remembers being in Bloomington, Indiana, when a Buckeye assistant knocked on his door on game day to deliver the news.
"He had such an impact on my life," Pelini said of the Pelini patriarch. "He was such a part of my life, it hit home with me. My dad had a couple of heart attacks and some multiple bypasses. So there's some heart disease in my family also. You have to watch it."
Two Intense Friends Strive for Life Balance
That's why both Pelini and Stoops are always striving to achieve balance in a life that can consume head coaches. Both help drive their kids to school every day. Both work out almost daily. Both will make it home for supper whenever possible and work the X's and O's after the kids go to bed. Both make every effort to attend important school functions with their kids.
Not surprisingly, Pelini and Stoops think it's a myth that coaches need to be in the office before 5 and go home about midnight.
Pelini, in fact, recalled listening to the radio one morning when a commentator said Tony Dungy would never win a Super Bowl because he's not a grinder and has too much balance in his life. "I'm sitting there driving into work, and I'm thinking that attitude is everything that's wrong with the coaching profession," Pelini said, taking particular pleasure in Dungy coaching a Super Bowl champion after moving from Tampa to Indianapolis.
"If you're spending 18 or 19 hours a day coaching football, you're doing something wrong," Pelini concluded. "It's not rocket science. It doesn't take that, and if it does, then I need to go find another profession. I'm not going to go down that road."
Head coaches who grew up like brothers and support each other on football/life issues never forget poignant memories, but they showed they can laugh, too, even on the day before a big game.
Mike Stoops, for instance, was asked about brother Mark coaching his last game as Arizona defensive coordinator before becoming Florida State's defensive coordinator. "He's made 90 percent of the calls over the last six years, but I take credit for all the good ones," Mike said.
Stoops mentioned that he and Bo once lived together when they were graduate assistants at Iowa, but thought it best not to share details.
When one reporter pressed Pelini for a comment, Nebraska's head coach smiled broadly and said: "Just like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, what happened in Iowa City will stay in Iowa City."
Tuesday's Holiday Bowl Press Conference Video is available here.
Holiday Bowl Notes, Quotes and Anecdotes
Notes, quotes and anecdotes gleaned from Tuesday's Press Conference and the Holiday Bowl Kickoff Luncheon that drew a capacity crowd of 1,700 at the San Diego Convention Center:
Bo Pelini, whose Huskers came within one second of beating Texas and playing TCU in the Fiesta Bowl: "If you're not going to play in a national championship game or a BCS game, the Holiday Bowl stands up to any bowl game. Nebraska and Arizona are two programs that can line up against any team in the country. I believe you have two programs here tomorrow night that are here to stay. Only one team can come out on top, but I think you're going to see both teams next year come out and make some noise."
Mike Stoops, whose Wildcats are a double-overtime loss from replacing Oregon against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl: "It's been fun being here with Bo. Our friendship will go way beyond this game. We respect and share ideas of what we like to do defensively. Bo has helped me in a lot of ways. He's helped me become a better coach. I think that's what all good coaches do in the off-season if they've having problems with a certain scheme - try to find better ways to do things. You have to stay ahead of the game now because offenses change so fast."
ESPN Reporter Erin Andrews, on poking her head into a huddle to witness the incredible intensity of both Pelini and Stoops: "On the sidelines, even I get jacked up listening to them."
ESPN Analyst Jessie Palmer, on Pelini's fast start at Nebraska: "He's the first coach to win at least a share of a division title in his first two years as a head coach in the Big 12."
Palmer, on Pelini's impact: "Wherever he's been, there is great defense. In 13 games this year, Nebraska gave up 14 offensive touchdowns."
Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman, offering another name for this year's Holiday Bowl: "The finals of the Cardinal Mooney High School Playoffs."
Perlman, to University of Arizona President Robert Shelton: "Since it's against NCAA rules to bet on a game, I suggest that if Nebraska wins, President Shelton spend January in Nebraska, and if Arizona wins, I spend January in Arizona."
Nebraska Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh, asked by Palmer if he has "enough juice left" to play in the Holiday Bowl after spending so much of December attending banquets and collecting awards: "I can't wait for tomorrow night. I'm ready to play a football game."
Husker Center Jacob Hickman, asked if he has any advice for Arizona players who have to block Suh: "Good luck. When he went to Sea World this week, you couldn't even see Shamu because Suh was covering one of the whales."
