House GOP plans vote on fiscal cliff 'Plan B'

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House pushed ahead Thursday with a bill that would raise taxes on people earning over $1 million a year as hopes faded for a pre-Christmas deal between President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff."
Democratic leaders vowed to let the House measure die in the Senate without a vote and urged Boehner to return to the negotiating table. As a grand bargain to avoid the fiscal cliff's automatic tax hikes and spending cuts proved elusive, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said lawmakers would return to the Capitol after the holiday to try again.
"The president and Boehner have to negotiate this, OK?" said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. "We don't need a vehicle. We need an agreement."
Across the Capitol, Boehner accused Obama and his fellow Democrats of doing nothing to prevent the so-called cliff — sweeping tax hikes and spending cuts that hit in early January unless lawmakers head them off. But at the same time, he told reporters he would continue trying to strike a deal with the president.
"Our country faces serious challenges," said Boehner, R-Ohio. "The president and I in our respective roles have a responsibility to work together to get them resolved. I expect that we'll continue to work together."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the GOP has enough votes to pass the bill dubbed "Plan B" by Boehner, aimed at upping the year-end pressure on Capitol Hill Democrats and Obama.
"We, as Republicans, have taken concrete actions to avoid the fiscal cliff," Cantor insisted at a news conference.
The White House has said Obama would veto the measure. Spokesman Jay Carney called the GOP move a fruitless step.
"Instead of taking the opportunity that was presented to them, to continue to negotiate what could be a very helpful large deal for the American people, the Republicans in the House have decided to run down an alley that has no exit while we all watch," Carney said. "And again it's something we've seen in the past."
Republicans have told senior administration officials that Boehner decided to put forward his Plan B after he concluded he could not get enough GOP support for the proposal he made to Obama over the weekend, according to a senior administration official.
And GOP officials said that while Cantor supports Boehner's efforts to reach a sweeping deal with Obama, other members of the leadership team recoiled at details of Boehner's latest plan — including $1 trillion in higher taxes and a breakthrough concession on higher tax rates for those earning more than $1 million — at a meeting Monday evening. The officials required anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the meeting.
On Wednesday, a confident Obama dismissed the GOP bill, telling reporters that he and Boehner were just a few hundred billion dollars apart on a 10-year, $2 trillion-plus deficit-cutting pact.
Republicans should "peel off the partisan war paint" and take the deal he's offering, Obama said sharply at the White House. He noted that he had won re-election with a call for higher taxes on the wealthy, then added pointedly that the nation aches for conciliation, not a contest of ideologies, after last week's mass murder at a Connecticut elementary school.
Obama continued to press for a comprehensive budget pact with Boehner to replace the economy-jarring set of automatic tax hikes and sweeping spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic agencies set to take effect in January.
Boehner countered that the president will bear responsibility for "the largest tax increase in history" if he makes good on his veto threat.
But to a remarkable extent, the two sides have flip-flopped.
Republicans have for years argued that voting to renew most Bush-era tax cuts on income, investments and elsewhere, but allowing upper-end tax cuts to expire, would be a debilitating blow to the economy and small businesses. Now, they point to the 99-plus percent of taxpayers who wouldn't be affected by their latest tax plan.
For their part, Democrats who supported the million-dollar threshold for a tax increase not too long ago have lashed themselves to Obama. The re-elected president carries great leverage into the battle over the fiscal cliff, the price to pay for Washington's chronic inability to address the deficit.
GOP leaders have also set a vote on a companion bill to replace across-the-board cuts in the Pentagon and some domestic programs with targeted reductions elsewhere in the budget, an attempt to satisfy defense-minded lawmakers and conservatives eager to vote for spending cuts. The Senate is sure to ignore that measure as well.
That measure, which passed the House in May only to be ignored by the Senate, would cut food stamps, benefits for federal workers and social services programs like day care for children and Meals on Wheels for the elderly. It would spare the military from a $55 billion, 9 percent automatic budget cut next year that is punishment for the failure of last year's deficit-reduction "supercommittee" to strike a deal. It also would protect domestic agencies from an 8 percent cut to their day-to-day operating budgets next year, but would leave in place a 2 percent cut to Medicare providers.
With Christmas approaching, Republicans also said they were hopeful the tax measure could quickly form the basis for a final bipartisan "fiscal cliff" compromise once it arrives in the Senate.
On paper, the two sides are relatively close to an agreement on major issues, each having offered concessions in an intensive round of talks that began late last week.
But political considerations are substantial, particularly for Republicans.
After two decades of resolutely opposing any tax increases, Boehner is seeking votes from fellow Republicans for legislation that tacitly lets rates rise on million-dollar income tax filers. The measure would raise revenue by slightly more than $300 billion over a decade than if all of the Bush-era tax cuts remained in effect.
Boehner won a letter of cramped support from anti-tax activist Grover Norquist during the day. Norquist's organization, Americans For Tax Reform, issued a statement saying it will not consider a vote for the bill a violation of a no-tax-increase pledge that many Republicans have signed.
The talks have stalled even though Obama and Boehner have each made concessions that would seem to bring them to the brink of agreement. Obama is now seeking $1.2 trillion in higher tax revenue, down from the $1.6 trillion he initially sought. He also has softened his demand for higher tax rates on household incomes so they would apply to incomes over $400,000 instead of the $250,000 he cited during his successful campaign for a new term.
He also has offered more than $800 billion in spending cuts over a decade, half of it from Medicare and Medicaid, $200 million from farm and other benefit programs, $100 billion from defense and $100 billion from a broad swath of government accounts ranging from parks to transportation to education.
In a key concession to Republicans, the president also has agreed to slow the rise in cost-of-living increases in Social Security and other benefit programs, at a savings estimated at about $130 billion over a decade.
By contrast, Boehner's most recent offer allowed for $1 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, with higher rates for annual incomes over $1 million. His latest offer seeks about $1 trillion in spending cuts.

A big rig rolled over on southbound Interstate 5 on Tuesday, blocking all three lanes for several hours.
The road reopened about 4:40 p.m., 20 minutes earlier than the California Highway Patrol had estimated.
Drivers in the area were encouraged to use an alternate route.
The crash took place just after 2:10 p.m., just north of Laguna Boulevard.
The Cosumnes Fire Department said on Twitter the big rig was carrying nonhazardous pool supplies, and that its driver suffered minor injuries.
The CHP is investigating.
"Initial witness statements reveal that at the time of the collision, the big rig was traveling in the slow lane, drifted toward the center lane, then back toward the roadway shoulder," the CHP said in a news release. "It appeared the driver attempted to steer back into the lane, but the trailer swerved out of control and struck the guard rail."
It was raining at the time of the wreck, the CHP said, but it's not clear if the weather contributed to the crash.
The driver was identified as a 54-year-old Stockton man. He was hospitalized with lacerations, police said.
No further details were released.

Omnicom nearly back to 2008 profit heyday
Omnicom is getting closer to regaining the $1bn (£638m) annual net income level it hit before the global financial crisis, as profits climbed 15%, helped by double-digit revenue growth in the UK.
John Wren: president and chief executive of Omnicom
In 2008, Omnicom racked up net income* of almost exactly $1bn on revenues of $13.4bn (£8.5bn), but the ensuing downturn bit a fifth off its bottom line the following year.
Its revenues are now higher than in 2008, having risen 10.6% on 2010 to $13.9bn (£8.8bn), although the same cannot be said for net income, up 15.1% to $952.6m (£607m).
The owner of creative networks TBWA, DDB and BBDO, and media powerhouses OMD and PHD, put in a strong performance in the UK, despite the relative lack of growth in the country's ad market.
UK revenues for 2011 were up 12.5% year on year, and up 7.9% on an organic basis, to $1.2bn (£763m).
On both measures the UK outperformed the US and Euro currency markets, although it accounts for less than 9% of overall revenues.
The rest of the world, which Omnicom groups together, grew revenues by 30.7% and by 12.3% on an organic basis, to $3bn (£1.9bn).
The pace of growth in the fourth quarter was not as great. Worldwide revenues climbed 7.4%, while UK revenues climbed 5.9% and Euro currency revenues fell 2.9%.
Last week, Omnicom's French rival Publicis Groupe revealed it had made 2011 revenues of €5.8bn (£4.9bn), up 7.3% on 2010.

Cavaliers 113, Bucks 108: New guys help Cavs rally from 20 down
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott put an unorthodox unit out on the floor to start the fourth quarter.
Many were shaking their heads at the five players who had never been on the floor together.
But it was Scott and the Cavs who had the last laugh in their 113-108 come-from-behind victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday before an announced crowd of 15,098 at Quicken Loans Arena.
Newly acquired center Marreese Speights and shooting guard Wayne Ellington, playing in their first game for the Cavs since Tuesday's four-player trade with Memphis, were on the floor to start the fourth. They were joined by power forward Luke Walton and guards Shaun Livingston and Daniel Gibson.
"Thank God for our second unit tonight," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "They won the game for us."
The Cavs (12-32) whittled down a 20-point second-half deficit. Ellington's 3-pointer with 6 minutes, 31 seconds left in the game handed the Cavs a 96-95 advantage they never relinquished.
They started the fourth on a 15-5 run. When the fourth quarter was done, they had outscored the Bucks, 32-18.
The 6-foot-10, 255-pound Speights contributed 10 points and six rebounds and two steals. Scott was most impressed with his ability to communicate on defense — a season-long problem.
"I had no idea," Scott said. "(Big men) see everything that happens on the floor. They are the last line of defense. Mo did a heck of a job communicating."
Speights has had three big games against the Bucks this season, the first two when he played for Memphis. Continued...
"I told them, 'Different team. Same results.' " he said.
"We got stops and started to make some shots. I like playing with the second unit. They all know how to play defense. I'm glad coached rolled with us."
Ellington had just the one field goal, but defended Bucks swingman Mike Dunleavy, who had just four points.
"Both of those guys were big," Scott said. "Wayne did a terrific job on Mike Dunleavy. He challenged his shots. They helped us win this game tonight."
All-Star guard Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 35 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals. He was 12 of 17 from the field, 2 of 3 from the 3-point line.
"The bench came in and gave us energy," Irving said. "It was fun to watch."
And watch he did for most of the fourth. He didn't enter the final quarter until 4:01 remained in the game. He still scored eight points in those four minutes.
The Bucks (22-19) shot 14 of 28 from the 3-point line. After three quarters, they outscored the Cavs from behind the arc, 36-9.
Power forward Ersan Ilyasova was scorching hot in the first half. It was Walton who was credited with slowing him down in the fourth.
"Luke was showing what game plan was," Scott said. "He was showing and communicating. Our biggest thing (had been) lack of communication," Continued...
The 6-10 forward had 15 of his team-high 30 points in the second quarter. He made 6 of 8 from the field, 3 of 4 from the arc, in the second. The Bucks led at halftime, 59-50.
The Cavs also got a season-high 12 points and three assists from Livingston, and five points, five rebounds and seven assists from Walton.
Power forward Tristan Thompson had 18 points, six rebounds and three blocks for the Cavs, who have now won three of their last four games. They've also won three in a row at home.
Guard Monta Ellis had 21 points, six rebounds, nine assists and two steals for the Bucks. Sidekick Brandon Jennings, snubbed for the All-Star Game, added 14 points and a game-high 12 assists.

Former ACU Track Coach Inducted Into Hall
By: Lance Fleming, ACU Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations
Updated: January 8, 2013
Hood was inducted - along with five other Texas track and field legends - during ceremonies Jan. 4 at the Crowne Plaza-Addison. Joining Hood in the 2013 induction class was former Lampasas and University of Texas great Johnny "Lam" Jones, former Dallas Roosevelt High School and SMU sprinter Roy Martin, long-time announcer John Pritchett, University of Texas and Olympic star Eddie Southern, and the most decorated female track and field athlete in Texas high school history, Ychilindria Spears of Luling.
In 11 seasons as the men's head track and field coach at ACU, Hood's teams won eight NCAA Division II titles and one NAIA championship. Not only did he produce great teams, including the 1984 squad that compiled 246 points at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships, but he also produced outstanding vaulters - his calling card. Among his stable were Billy Olson, Brad Pursley and Tim Bright.
Hood's 1984 squad captured first in the 200, 400, 800, 1500, pole vault, triple jump, and both relays - of which the relays set meet records (39.20 / 3:03.28) on its way to outpacing the runner-up by 117 points.
A member of the Pole Vault Summit Hall of Fame and USTFCCCA Hall of Fame, Hood's athletic career commenced on a football scholarship to Abilene Christian. A graduate of Tulare Union High School in California, Hood coached track & field at four Texas high schools before landing an assistant's job at Wichita State in 1968. He became Howard Payne University's head coach in 1972 and embarked on his legendary career at ACU in 1976.
Jones ran anchor for Lampasas in the 1976 UIL AAA State Championships. Procuring the baton anywhere from 30 - 60 meters behind, Jones found 5th and 6th gear to pass the entire field, clinching gold in both the 4x4 and the overall team title. Soon after - at age 18 - he'd be a 1976 Olympic Gold Medal winner as 2nd leg of the U.S. 4x1.
Considered among the greatest high school sprinters in United States history, Martin blazed the 200 meters in 20.13, a record still standing after 28 years. He set Memorial Stadium track on fire and electrified over 30,000 spectators at the UIL state meet a year after finishing fourth in the 200 at the 1984 U.S. Olympic Trials, earning an alternate's spot on the Olympic team.
A native Texan,Pritchett has been announcing high school and collegiate sports since 1964. He currently holds the post of Director of XC / TF Meets for Northwood University, and he also serves in the same capacity for Texas Wesleyan University.
"At the state track meet in May 1955, the sensational senior rewrote the record book. Eddie was clocked at 20.7 seconds in the 220-yard dash, best ever by a high-school student in Texas or any other state. Then he turned right around and broke the state and national records in the 440-yard event with a time of 47.2 seconds."
Spears is the most decorated track & field athlete in Texas history, amassing 14 gold and 2 silver state medals and a team state championship where she earned 42 of Luling High School's 48 points. Spears, who transformed the UIL state meet into a showcase for her jumping prowess, owns the national triple jump record (44-02.25) and Texas long jump mark (21-03.25).

Is it XBLA or PC or both now? Because Ubisoft.com says its XBLA, period.
Is it XBLA or PC or both now? Because Ubisoft.com says its XBLA, period.
In an E3 interview Eric Chahi said it's PC too.
Ubisoft does have the bad habit of releasing games for consoles on the stated release date and then for PCs months later.
Really hope that doesn't happen to From Dust.
(Or worse, that it doesn't hit PCs at all!)
On the other hand, this gives me a few weeks/months to decide if I should purchase it or not, based on the feedback of the XBLA-title.
I'm very very curious and would buy it blind, so I actually welcome the feedback.

Currently playing: Gothic 2; Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition; Waking Mars; Anno Online
Or they make it more fab by the time the PC version releases. Which is always great. I still think Ubisoft is mainly a PC developer, only that they use Consoles as a testbed, in order to improve the PC release :D
Thanks for the replies, btw.

It might be a case of another 'Xbox exclusive' that comes to PC a few months later (as seems to be the trend). With the 360 they only have the one hardware build to worry about, where as with the PC they've a lot more issues to contend with.

..and they charge extra 10 pounds for the PC version, but the DLC is "included".
no wait, they dont. Hm. Am I thinking stupid?
Lets leave the DRM cynicism to other lesser sites Ok (that stuff got dull a long time ago, and goes nowhere tbh). I'm on about hardware configurations, OS, managing resolutions, driver support, device management, etc, etc. With a 360 you're catering to set conditions, set input and a couple of standard resolutions, it's a lot easier to focus on managing key aspects like frame rate, etc, etc.

That and dont forget: the DRM took a real step back (in the right direction) for AssBro, for example.
Not really. Steam is perfectly compatible with other, less amenable, forms of DRM.
Take Settlers 7, for exaple. Steam website quote:
So it won't work in Steam's 'Offline' mode (which, despite early problems, is actually pretty good now).
Never assume that because it's on Steam, the game's not crippled by other forms of DRM...

Except developing a PC version should be much easier. Valve talked about their problems switching to console development. Performance troubles in a PC game? It runs at a lower framerate. Performance troubles in a console game? Kapow! Console crashes.
It may be easier to produce a more polished experience on console, but it's certainly easier to make a game for pc as you can be lazy and cut various corners.
Buying blind because I have complete faith in Chahi.
Looks like it's landing on July 27th!
Thats great news! now lets hope the game is not just a tech demo.
I really hope so. I played hours and hours of Populous (even the second part/remake on PC was enjoyable) and even liked Black & White to some extent. Oh, and anybody remember Powermonger?
I hope this comes close and isn't ruined by them packing too much features in it but instead concentrating on good gameplay..
Wow, having seen the gameplay video, this just jumped up the list. It seems like Black and White without the nonsense.

Anyone know how to get stacks after you have cuffed for a while and the jeans are soft?Soak
Oh yeah you feel my vibe right? Well bitch you killin it. Step back
Karmaloop/Plndr Rep: SLAP20.
trying to decide between skinny or tapered..
Just tried on my size 32 tapered but the waist is pretty snug (compared to my levis) should i exchange for a 33 or will it loosen up?thanksmy pair was pretty snug at first too but after a couple of wears it loosened up to a comfortable fit. So id say stick with the 32
WTS: ARABIC TEE LARGE INSTAGRAM: @thesupersun follow please!
this all great man. no need to change
I had to size up to a 32 on my tapereds cause 31 was out of stock, waist is big so I wear a belt, not sure if I should keep or exchange for a 30? (which is a size down) I was even thinking of exchanging for skinnies. Just not sure if its too baggy or not cause I sized up one
thanks man
my pair was pretty snug at first too but after a couple of wears it loosened up to a comfortable fit. So id say stick with the 32
I was going too but the skinnies arent tapered and i think they look kinda weird just soak your denim and itll fit more snug and tight, thats what I did.
just got my tapereds. think i'm going to exchange for skinnies. are the skinnies fit identical to petit standards?
WTS: ARABIC TEE LARGE INSTAGRAM: @thesupersun follow please!
just got my skinnies and its really stiff, will a hot soak make them less stiff?Welcome to denim. If you want them to get soft, this might be a little far fetched but wearing them might help. What do I know though..
Dat wife life
I purchased a size 32 (I wear 31 in Levis 513, 514 and 32 in Levis 511). The Unbranded Skinny seemed much tighter than the Levis 511. I wore it around the house for a couple hours and it seemed to loosen slightly. But I didnt like the cut (neither did my wife). She said it made my legs look shorter compared to the Levis I have. I guess these are less tapered? So it's going back to the store.

Spectacular light show at Waves of Migration
'Australia has a rich tapestry of migration stories - Waves of Migration'
Australian National Maritime Museum
The Australian National Maritime Museum's iconic roofline, evoking sails and waves, will become the canvas this summer for a dynamic new projection show in celebration of the history of migration to Australia and intriguing stories of those who've come across the seas.
Premiering on Australia Day, Waves of Migration is a thought-provoking eight-minute animated silent projection that weaves together Australia's rich tapestry of migration stories.
Waves of Migration follows the journeys of migrant boats, across oceans and cultures, through the passage of time. It depicts a fascinating array of personal stories from British convicts and early settlers, to Jewish refugees and displaced persons from war-torn Europe, to Ten Pound Poms, Vietnamese boat people and seaborne asylum seekers from Afghanistan. Together these waves of migration have made Australia the multi-cultural country it is today.
The light show is supported by a dedicated website
Waves of Migration Light Show 2013
with links to the Museum's collection and a facility for people to share their immigration stories.
Waves of Migration joins the museum's 100-metre-long Welcome Wall and vast collection of more than 10,000 immigration artefacts, personal diaries, letters and photographs, as a lasting tribute to the millions of people who have emigrated from around the world to settle in Australia.
The light show premieres on Australia Day, 26 January 2013, and runs nightly after dark until 17 Feburary 2013. Waves of migration is free, is suitable for all ages and is best viewed from Pyrmont Bridge and around the King Street Wharf area at Darling Harbour.

Jury begins deliberations in strip club beating death of Jimmy Koons
PHILADELPHIA — After five days of testimony and hours of video analysis, Judge Jeffrey Minehart charged a jury of seven women and five men to come to a verdict in the murder trial of John Pettit, a manager at Oasis Gentlemen's Club charged with killing Secane resident Jimmy Koons on Oct. 16, 2009.
The trial began last Wednesday and the majority of testimony focused on a detailed review of surveillance camera footage from the night in question. Attorneys delivered their closing arguments Tuesday afternoon.
"This has been a long trial, so to speak," defense attorney Robert T. Lynch said. "Video, obviously, has made it a lot longer and a lot more detailed."
Lynch argued that the prosecutors' case did not give a complete picture of the events leading up to a fatal punch that he admits was delivered by Pettit in the club's parking lot. Koons and his friend, George Foreacre, went to the club that afternoon to watch a Phillies postseason game.
About 90 minutes after arriving, Pettit can be seen on security footage striking Foreacre as he stood at the bar. After that, both men were dragged from the club. Prosecutors say the video shows Pettit kick and punch Koons as he lay on the ground outside the club's entrance.
A few minutes after being removed from the club, the owner, Rob Laflar pulled up and struck Foreacre. A melee ensued in which Foreacre says he was beaten by several people and suffered four spinal fractures. Pettit can be seen striking Koons in the head area a short time later, and as he and other employees returned to the club, Koons' body is seen lying on the ground. He suffered two skull fractures that required brain surgery. He never woke up following the blows and was taken off life support 17 days later and died. Police arrived about 35 seconds after Koons hit the ground.
Lynch referred to testimony, some from Foreacre himself, that indicated there was some animosity between the two friends and a bartender at the club. He interpreted the video to say that the two were being boisterous and rowdy while in the club and were warned at least once about their behavior. He argued that Pettit and the other bouncers were just doing their jobs in removing unruly customers from the establishment.
"You cannot judge the case in a vacuum," Lynch said. "You need to see everything ... We don't just jump to the end and that's it."
Moments before the punch that knocked Koons to the ground, Lynch said his client and others were walking back toward the club when Koons continued to try and engage them. Lynch cited Koons' blood alcohol level of 0.23, nearly three times the legal limit for driving, as well as witness testimony that he and Foreacre were screaming profanity and threats at club employees once ejected as evidence that he was the aggressor.
"(Pettit) threw a punch because he thought he had to," Lynch said. "Unfortunately, that punch caught someone in the wrong spot and knocked him out, causing him to fall back." Continued...
Prosecutor Mark Levenberg likened the Oasis Club to a kingdom populated with people with big egos who were exacting revenge.
"If Robert Laflar was the king of the Oasis strip club, then Jack Pettit is the chief of the guards," Levenberg said. He continued on, saying that Pettit thought he was invincible and infallible within the confines of the club.
"He thinks he's Superman. They had a shooting (at the club) the night before and he survived. He thinks he's bulletproof," Levenberg said.
He referred to a portion of the video where Pettit takes off a long-sleeved shirt to reveal a tank top underneath, saying that he wanted to show his muscles and get back at the victim for a bloody nose defense counsel says he suffered.
"Jack Pettit got a little bloody nose during the scuffle that he started," Levenberg said. "He rips off his shirt, like Clark Kent turning into Superman, to go outside."
He attacked Lynch's argument that the last punch Pettit threw was to defend himself and his co-workers from Koons, supported by the video that shows him retreat into the club once Koons goes down.
"If Mr. Koons didn't go down, if Mr. Pettit didn't fracture his skull, do you really think that would have been the last punch?"
He appealed to the jury with a reference to Koons' two young daughters, saying they will have to grow up without a father.
"They're going to only be left with memories," Levenberg said. "Memories of the happy times they spent with Jimmy. The only other memories they're going to have are of justice."
Minehart explained each charge to the jury before releasing them to deliberate. The jury will continue deliberating today at 9 a.m. Continued...
Pettit is charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy to commit third-degree murder, hinder apprehension by tampering with evidence and aggravated assault for the alleged attack on Foreacre.

$9,000 print bought for $12 at Milwaukee Goodwill store
MILWAUKEE — "Red Nose" just meant a reindeer named Rudolph to Karen Mallet until she bought a print by that name for $12.34 at a Goodwill store in Milwaukee. It turned out to be a lithograph by American artist Alexander Calder worth $9,000.
Mallet's good fortune is at least the fourth time in six months that valuable art has turned up at Goodwill, where bargain-hunters search for hidden treasure among the coffee cups, jewelry, lamps and other household cast-offs.
Last month, a Salvador Dali sketch found at a Goodwill shop in Tacoma, Wash., sold for $21,000. Last summer, a North Carolina woman pocketed more than $27,000 for a painting she bought for $9.99 at Goodwill. And last spring, a dusty jug donated in Buffalo, N.Y., was discovered to be a thousands-of-years-old American Indian artifact — it was returned to its tribe instead of being offered for sale.
When told of the Milwaukee woman's find, a Goodwill spokeswoman said workers at its 2,700 stores try to spot valuables and auction them on the organization's online auction site to net more money for the charitable group. But things slip through the cracks and the workers aren't art experts.
"That's kind of part of shopping at Goodwill — the thrill of the hunt," said Cheryl Lightholder, communications manager for Goodwill in southeastern Wisconsin. "You never know what you're going to find."
Mallet, a media relations specialist for Georgetown University and others, didn't even like "Red Nose" when she first spotted it during one of her frequent Goodwill shopping trips in May.
"The big find that day was this great set of steel knives, in a block, for $18.99" by Wolfgang Puck, she said.
But the graphic black-and-white picture was striking. In low-browed terms, it might be described as an abstract image of an ape with a hangover, with spiral swirls for eyes like the ones in cartoons when someone gets punched. A large red nose is the only color.
Then she saw the Calder signature.
"I thought, I don't know if it's real or not but it's $12.99. I've wasted more on worse things," she said. A discount for using her Goodwill loyalty card brought the price down to $12.34. Continued...
Once home, she searched the Internet and found similar lithographs by Calder, who died in 1976 and is widely known for his mobiles and abstract sculptures at airports, office towers and other public places. Mallet's piece was No. 55 of 75 lithographs and was made in 1969.
Jacob Fine Art Inc., in suburban Chicago, recently set its replacement value at $9,000.
"This happens very frequently — you can't imagine," the company's owner, Jane Jacob, said of treasures found at thrift stores. "They don't know what they have. They're just not set up to understand art history."
Lauren Lawson-Zilai, a spokeswoman for Goodwill Industries International Inc. in Rockville, Md., gave these examples of art that Goodwill staff spotted and sold through the auction site:
n In 2009, a painting by Utah artist Maynard Dixon donated in Santa Rosa, Calif., sold for $70,001.
n In 2008, a Baltimore-area Goodwill store netted $40,600 from a Parisian street scene painted by Impressionist Edouard-Leon Cortes.
n In 2006, a Frank Weston Benson oil painting donated anonymously in Portland, Ore., brought in $165,002 — Goodwill's top haul so far.
Mallet has no immediate plans to sell her "Red Nose."
"It grew on me," she said. "Now I love it."

Summer Reading
Browse the best books of the summer including popular series, classics, and editors' picks in our Teen Summer Reading Store. |
The hobbit-hole in question belongs to one Bilbo Baggins, an upstanding member of a "little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves." He is, like most of his kind, well off, well fed, and best pleased when sitting by his own fire with a pipe, a glass of good beer, and a meal to look forward to. Certainly this particular hobbit is the last person one would expect to see set off on a hazardous journey; indeed, when Gandalf the Grey stops by one morning, "looking for someone to share in an adventure," Baggins fervently wishes the wizard elsewhere. No such luck, however; soon 13 fortune-seeking dwarves have arrived on the hobbit's doorstep in search of a burglar, and before he can even grab his hat or an umbrella, Bilbo Baggins is swept out his door and into a dangerous adventure.
The dwarves' goal is to return to their ancestral home in the Lonely Mountains and reclaim a stolen fortune from the dragon Smaug. Along the way, they and their reluctant companion meet giant spiders, hostile elves, ravening wolves--and, most perilous of all, a subterranean creature named Gollum from whom Bilbo wins a magical ring in a riddling contest. It is from this life-or-death game in the dark that J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, would eventually spring. Though The Hobbit is lighter in tone than the trilogy that follows, it has, like Bilbo Baggins himself, unexpected iron at its core. Don't be fooled by its fairy-tale demeanor; this is very much a story for adults, though older children will enjoy it, too. By the time Bilbo returns to his comfortable hobbit-hole, he is a different person altogether, well primed for the bigger adventures to come--and so is the reader. --Alix Wilber --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I know that annotated books can be difficult to navigate, filled with useless, pointless, or just plain boring information, and can be grossly oversized. That is not the case here.
So - here's the scoop.
The original story is very nicely presented, with all original illustrations in color when possible, and in black and white elsewhere. The type is nice and clear, very easy to read. (Many cheaper editions are also rather hard on the eyes. Check the print before you buy, folks!)
The illustrations are printed very clearly, and with very good notes on what they are.
And then the annotations - useful, engaging, and very well done. You will WANT to read these. We discover how the book was written, and what was changed between editions. (There were many changes made so that The Hobbit would conform more easily to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.) There are fascinating tidbits about Tolkien's life and the experiences that made their way into the story.
The forward tells about the writing of the novel, and the appedices give additional details about the text.
There are also many illustrations from other editions of the book. These are varied, from thought-provoking to not-provoking.
And the book is not too big. Some editions are simply too big to be read, but this book is reasonably sized so that you can actually READ IT! In fact, I have not read any other edition of The Hobbit for years, since the original annotated version came out.
The new edition is very much worthwhile. Enjoy!
Doug Anderson includes lots of sources in his notes. He quotes Tolkien's own letters, other fairy tales and legends that may have inspired Tolkien, as well as previous versions of the section he's noting. The Gollum section ("Riddles in the Dark") is interesting. Tolkien did some tinkering with the original Gollum story as its follow-up (LORD OF THE RINGS) was taking shape. Seems that George Lucas is not the only person who's revised previously released work! Tolkien was his predecessor.
Also interesting are the many black and white illustrations that Anderson includes, many from foreign editions of THE HOBBIT. Some of the art is hilarious, as it does not resemble Tolkien's characters at all! There is a nice color section of illustrations in the center of the book.
THE ANNOTATED HOBBIT is a handsome, interesting book to own if you're a fan of Bilbo and his adventures with the dwarves (or dwarfs? That's covered in the book as well!)
Included are Hobbit illustrations around the word, a rich addition, but the real joy of this book is learning background and details about The Hobbit, author J.R.R. Tolkien and The Lord Of The Rings. At times the footnotes are scholarly and at other times they are amusing gems.
Anderson has compared all of Tolkien's revisions and has researched the 'whys' 'hows' and 'whens' that helps reveal to reader the meaning of the text and the personality of the author.
My favorites are anecdotes about Tolkien's personal life that involve his family and personal history. They are facinating and at times touching.
WIthout rambling on too much, I can confidently recommend this version of "The Hobbit" as the best available.

Most Helpful Reviews
I needed a box that would fit my cam bearing tool and my pry bars. This was the fit.
Moline, IL
I purchased the matching chest first since its, 40? wide, I couldn?t find other middle chests but this one. The chest looking great and open and closes great. Shortly after, I purchased another one. I love them but they are very expensive .
via sears.com
The lock is terrible, and mine was poorly packaged. One of the drawer slides was not attached to the inside of the box, and the griplatch was bent and generally mutilated and didn't work, I had to fix both of these issues before I could use the box. The top edges of the drawer are simply cut off at the top and not rolled, so the top edges of the drawer are quite sharp. It is made from sheet-metal that is too thin, and so it's a bit flimsy. I expected a lot more for my money, especially since it carries the Craftsman name.

Works great, especially love the wood top. I use it with the craftsman Socket tree and it is easy to see and keeps all my sockets in place and ready for quick use

Item was ordered on line and picked up at local store location in good condition. Drawer guides are smooth and grip latches operate as advertised.
Croton On Hudson, NY

This product is real nice and was necessary to put my torque wrenches in. I love the 40inch length ,how it's smooth drawers glide open and love the griplatch! The comments on the wood top is true, it's particle board however with a 14 drawer rollaway chest, there's no way you can work on the top. ...it's way too high.I bought this item paying full price and through price protection it dropped $40. love it
Tampa, FL
via sears.com
At 38W x 16D x 3 1/2H", this is a great drawer for longer tools. I really like the ball bearing glides with the Griplatch activation and the locking feature. If you're purchasing all three stackable sections to this set and your shorter than about 5' 8", you won't be able to see the tools in the top chest's hinged top (the 14 drawer base and 8 drawer chest are sold separately) without a step stool. Also, if you buy all three sections, be aware that with the hinged top, you will need 80.5" clearance to open the hinged top...so keep that in mind if you have garage cabinets or other overhead obstructions above where you want to place your toolbox.
Alexandria, LA
via sears.com
I bought this to organize the tools and gear in the back of my WK. The key to this storage compartment, was the fact that its lockable and a droor slides out with ease. The compartment allows for customization to and for its surronding. Its provided a hard surface area to work on. Its a bit high dollar, but nothing else provided all that this one has to offer. Hope this helps in anyones decion making. Van
Houma, LA
For the past 4 years, I've owned the ball-bearing grip-latch 40" 14-drawer roller cart and the 40" 8-drawer top chest...Love Them! With my 35 years of tool investments (mostly Craftsman), I've filled the 25,000+ cubic inch storage capacity of this wonderful 2-piece combo and have been looking at the matching "intermediate" chest for additional "long tool" storage space! Finally, a good sale price got my attention...I've not been disappointed! The unit fits perfectly between the 40" cart and chest and provides over 36" of storage width. Loaded down (70lb rating), the drawer functions very smooth and latches solidly. It does raise the top chest higher, but I'm 70" tall and can still easily view the top drawer tools. I find the overall fit & finish perfectly matches the total combo and really looks and functions well as an integrated tool storage system. Other than a weak drawer lock mechanism (don't use, but would be easy to fix), I can't find fault with the 59604 intermediate storage unit. This Premium Ball Bearing-Grip Latch Triple Combo has now completed my "Toolmans's Storage Dream"!!!
Norman, OK

Although I purchased this with the 40 inch quite glide bottom and top tool box, this middle chest is an excellent fit, the drawers come out smooth. The locking handle is very subtle when opening. Taking off the drawer is a snap, small levers one on each side, you press up on one and down on the other and the drawer comes right on out. One large single drawer is perfect for large amounts of tools of one kind, such as ratchets and sockets of the same size or wrenches. The packaging was fine, with no damage to the tool box and enough packing inside to protect it. Overall I rate this a 4 star and would recommend this to friends and family.

Super Bowl Cheerleading Controversy: Isolated Incident or Larger Issue?
A Ravens cheerleader has been making headlines for the reasons she says she was banned from cheering on Super Bowl Sunday.
The story of a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader who said she was disciplined for weight gain—and believes this is a reason she was left behind from the Super Bowl—has been making headlines across the country.
Cheerleader Courtney Lenz said she thinks her team didn't take her to the Super Bowl was because she gained 1.6 pounds.
The alleged snub led to supporters starting an online petition to reinstate her, The Huffington Post reported. The team has said they picked cheerleaders for the Super Bowl based on seniority, performance and personal conduct.
What do you think of Lenz's claim? Should cheerleaders expect their appearance to affect their job, or should it not be an issue? Does it bring up larger issues of female athletes and body image? Tell us in the comments.

Is this a football game or a beauty contest? Is she good at what she does? Did any of the overweight football players get benched? Americans are so shallow in how they judge women by their bodies. We are watching a football game here people!!! I am disgusted with our emphasis on body image. If she was chosen to be a cheer leader then she should be cheering for the team. Queen Latefa help!! Oprah help! Both two beautiful women who are overweight but who cares. UGH!

Who cares? All she really cares about is getting her 5 minutes of fame, and the press is obliging magnificently.
Charlie Schnapps
9:10 am on Saturday, February 2, 2013
I think she's getting her 5 minutes (maybe 15) of fame because weight and appearances are a bit of an obsession in our culture. If she gained 2 pounds I doubt that's why she's not cheering this Sunday. But if weight was a deciding factor: there is a certain image that professional cheerleaders are expected to maintain and I don't think it's unreasonable to cut or leave behind people who don't fit that image. If I had acne I'm not going to expect to be the "after" model in a ProActive commercial.

Welcome to corporate America in the workplace. If your a size 2 you can do no wrong.
If your not...you're days are numbered.

1.6 lbs. doesn't make a darn bit of difference. She was left behind for other reasons, she's trying to cash in on TV appearances and a possible discrimination lawsuit. The true story will all come out in the end.

I was wondering who would care about this story and why anyone would waste their time on writing it and then I saw it was from the Hufffington Post and that explained it all. I dont think I have ever read anything interesting or factual in that rag.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.

It's currently on hold as I had surgery on my hand 2 days ago. I've been waiting 4 months for the surgery and have been having pain in my hand for 3 years now. This surgery is my "hope" of my hand being normal again. I won't know for several weeks still if it worked, but I'm already going crazy not being able to crochet! I picked up the recently started blanket and my yarn tonight, while my husband glared at me, but it was still too painful so I set it back down. I guess I'll take it easy for a bit (at least until the stitches are out) Until I can get back at it, I'm enjoying looking at the new projects and all the beautiful CAL/KAL's.

Ulsan thrashes Al Hilal 4-0 to make ACL semifinals European Football Headlines
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) Brazilian striker Rafinha scored a first-half double as South Korean club Ulsan thrashed Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia 4-0 to reach the Asian Champions League semifinals on Wednesday. Rafinha, who scored the only goal in the first leg, received a pass from Lee Keun-ho and fired a shot that ricocheted off goalkeeper Abdullah Mohammed Alsdairy and into the net in the 24th minute. Two minutes later, Kim Seung-yong passed for Rafinha to slot the ball under the legs of Alsdairy. Kim Shin-wook headed in a cross from Maranhao in the 53rd, and Lee found the net from a free kick in the 65th. Updated October 3, 2012 |

Sail-World.com : Boaters beware GPS vulnerable to interference and jamming
Boaters beware GPS vulnerable to interference and jamming
'Andrew Dempster - University of New South Wales'
Researchers have warned that GPS systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to accidental interference or deliberate jamming, raising concerns about reliability and security.
Professor Andrew Dempster, of Australia's University of New South Wales School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems, said GPS is relied upon for an ever-increasing number of applications including navigation, vehicle and freight tracking, and location-based smart phone services.
However low-powered GPS signals are easily drowned out by other sources which are increasing in number, said Professor Dempster, among them cheaply obtained jamming units that can be used by criminals to knock out tracking systems.
'GPS signals are weak and can easily be out punched by poorly controlled signals from television towers, devices such as laptops and MP3 players, or even mobile satellite services,' he said.
Professor Dempster spoke at a workshop on GPS vulnerability organized in Canberra by UNSW's Australian Center for Space Engineering Research (ACSER). The workshop addressed unintended and intentional disruption threats, including the risks of GPS jamming and 'spoofing' – where a false GPS signal is created – being used in terrorist activity.
'This is not only a significant hazard for military, industrial and civilian transport and communication systems, but criminals have worked out that they can jam GPS,' he said.
Professor Dempster said his research team had detected interference in GPS signals caused by a television tower in Sydney's northern suburbs. While they had not detected any criminal jamming activity, Professor Dempster said overseas criminals are already using jammers.
The UNSW team are working with the University of Adelaide and private company GPSat Systems on an Australian Research Council-funded project to develop jammer-detection technology.
'Our research will produce a system that can accurately geolocate the position of a jamming signal, and hopefully track a moving vehicle carrying a jammer,' Professor Dempster said.
'Australia has tough laws that ban jamming, but the risks to GPS keep growing and there's a need not only for new solutions but for more awareness and greater preparedness, particularly by industry when committing to using GPS when designing complex systems.'
