WASHINGTON — Uncompromising and politically emboldened, President Barack Obama urged a deeply divided Congress Tuesday night to embrace his plans to use government money to create jobs and strengthen the nation's middle class. He declared Republican ideas for reducing the deficit "even worse" than the unpalatable deals Washington had to stomach during his first term.
In his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an "unfinished task," but he claimed clear progress and said he prepared to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office.
"We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is strong," Obama said in an hour-long address to a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions.
Yet with unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, the economy remains a vulnerability for Obama and could disrupt his plans for pursuing a broader agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter gun laws and climate change legislation.
Obama also announced new steps to reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad, with 34,000 American troops withdrawing from Afghanistan within a year. And he had a sharp rebuke for North Korea, which launched a nuclear test just hours before his remarks, saying, "Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further."
In specific proposals for shoring up the economy in his second term, an assertive Obama called for increased federal spending to fix the nation's roads and bridges, the first increase in the minimum wage in six years and expansion of early education to every American 4-year-old. Seeking to appeal for support from Republicans, he promised that none of his proposals would increase the deficit "by a single dime" although he didn't explain how he would pay for his programs or how much they would cost.
In the Republican response to Obama's address, rising GOP star Marco Rubio of Florida came right back at the president, saying his solution "to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more."
Sen. Rubio, in prepared remarks, said presidents of both parties have recognized that the free enterprise system brings middle-class prosperity.
"But President Obama?" Rubio said. "He believes it's the cause of our problems."
Still, throughout the House chamber there were symbolic displays of bipartisanship. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., arrived early and sat with Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., just returned in January nearly a year after suffering a debilitating stroke. As a captain in the National Guard, Duckworth lost both her legs while serving in Iraq in 2004. Continued...
A few aisles away, the top two tax writers in Congress, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., sat together.
But as a sign that divisions still remain, three of the most conservative Supreme Court justices skipped Obama's speech. Six of the nine attended. Missing were Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito.
Jobs and growth dominated Obama's address. Many elements of his economic blueprint were repacked proposals from his first term that failed to gain traction on Capitol Hill.
Standing in Obama's way now is a Congress that remains nearly as divided as it was during the final years of his first term, when Washington lurched from one crisis to another.
The president implored lawmakers to break through partisan logjams, asserting that "the greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next."
"Americans don't expect government to solve every problem," he said. "They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can."
Yet Obama offered few signs of being willing to compromise himself, instead doubling down on his calls to create jobs by spending more government money and insisting that lawmakers pay down the deficit through a combination of targeted spending cuts and tax increases. But he offered few specifics on what he wanted to see cut, focusing instead on the need to protect programs that help the middle class, elderly and poor.
He did reiterate his willingness to tackle entitlement changes, particularly on Medicare, though he has ruled out increasing the eligibility age for the popular benefit program for seniors. Continued...
Republicans are ardently opposed to Obama's calls for legislating more tax revenue to reduce the deficit and offset broad the automatic spending cuts — known as the sequester — that are to take effect March 1. The president accused GOP lawmakers of shifting the cuts from defense to programs that would help the middle class and elderly, as well as those supporting education and job training.
"That idea is even worse," he said.
Obama broke little new ground on two agenda items he has pushed vigorously since winning re-election: overhauling the nation's fractured immigration laws and enacting tougher gun control measures in the wake of the horrific massacre of school children in Newtown, Conn. Yet he pressed for urgency on both, calling on Congress to send him an immigration bill "in the next few months" and insisting lawmakers hold votes on his gun proposals.
"Each of these proposals deserves a vote in Congress," he said. "If you want to vote no, that's your choice."
Numerous lawmakers wore green lapel ribbons in memory of those killed in the December shootings in Connecticut. Among those watching in the House gallery: the parents of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, shot and killed recently in a park just a mile from the president's home in Chicago, as well as other victims of gun violence.
On the economy, Obama called for raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 by 2015. The minimum wage has been stagnant since 2007, and administration officials said the increase would strengthen purchasing power. The president also wants Congress to approve automatic increases in the wage to keep pace with inflation.
Looking for common ground anywhere he could find it, Obama framed his proposal to boost the minimum wage by pointing out that even his GOP presidential rival liked the idea. He said, "Here's an idea that Gov. Romney and I actually agreed on last year: Let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on."
Obama also renewed his calls for infrastructure spending, investments he sought repeatedly during his first term with little support from Republicans. He pressed lawmakers to approve a $50 billion "fix it first" program that would address the most urgent infrastructure needs. Continued...
Education also figures in Obama's plans to boost American competitiveness in the global economy. Under his proposal, the federal government would help states provide pre-school for all 4-year-olds. Officials did not provide a cost for the pre-school programs but said the government would provide financial incentives to help states.
Among the other initiatives Obama is proposing:
— A $1 billion plan to create 15 "manufacturing institutes" that would bring together businesses, universities and the government. If Congress opposes the initiative, Obama plans to use his presidential powers to create three institutes on his own.
— Creation of an "energy security trust" that would use revenue from federal oil and gas leases to support development of clean energy technologies such as biofuels and natural gas
— Doubling of renewable energy in the U.S. from wind, solar and geothermal sources by 2020.
Tuesday night's address marked Obama's most expansive remarks on the economy since the November election. Since securing a second term, the president has focused more heavily on new domestic policy proposals, including immigration changes and preventing gun violence following the horrific shooting of schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn.
Obama also called on Congress to tackle the threat of climate change, another issue that eluded him in his first term. The president pledged to work with lawmakers to seek bipartisan solutions but said if Capitol Hill doesn't act, he'll order his Cabinet to seek steps he can take using his presidential powers.
Taking a swipe at those who question the threat of global warming, Obama said, "We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science - and act before it's too late."
Obama also called on Congress to pass legislation giving the government more power to combat the rapidly growing threat of cyberattacks. And, as a down payment on that, the president announced that he has signed an executive order to fight electronic espionage through the development of voluntary standards to protect networks and computer systems that run critical infrastructure.

From the Feb. 16, 1961 News Record:
A car stopped for a stop light on Gillette Avenue received an estimated $309 in damages when it was hit from the rear by another car on Wednesday about 12:30 p.m., Feb. 8, according to Charley Tyrrell, chief of police. Driving the stopped vehicle was Mickey Okray, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Okray of Gillette, while Dan Baumfalk was driving the second vehicle. The latter car had an estimated $159 in damages. Both were headed north on Gillette Avenue and were at Fourth Street when the accident occurred. Baumfalk is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Baumfalk. Baumfalk reported that he was in the process of dodging a snowball thrown at him from the sidewalk and didn't see either the red light or Okray's car stopped in front of him. Chief Tyrrell cautioned youngsters not to throw snowballs at cars as this is a prime example of what can happen when a driver is distracted. No one was hurt, but it could have easily happened, he said.
From the Feb. 15, 1951 News Record:
Homer Berl Hardee, 22, of Sheridan, Wyo., met a tragic death Monday morning when the truck he was driving plunged over an embankment 14.5 miles east of Sheridan. Hardee, driving a San-I-Dairy Creamery panel truck loaded with milk, left Sheridan about 7 a.m. Monday headed toward Gillette when the accident occurred about 3 miles west of Jim Creek Hill on Highway 87.
From the Feb. 2, 1941 News Record:
With hardly a spot of snow anywhere in this community on Christmas Day, and the thermometer reaching a high of 41 degrees, a number of local golfers took the opportunity of playing on the municipal course. They reported the course in good condition, and only a few damp spots. The weather was warm enough for both morning and afternoon playing. This is one of the very few Christmas days when golfing has been possible in Gillette.

If a Pokemon becomes confused, does the confusion go away if it switches?
Yes, It does go away when It switches. Note, that Confusion can be Baton Passed.
This works like the ability Natural Cure and Shed Skin/Healer(I think), that gets rid of your Pokemon's status problems upon switching out. As Halcyonic Falcon has said, It works similar with all Secondary status effects.
Yes it does. The same goes for infatuation and all secondary status aliments.
Yes. It is like natural cure that only works for confusion. Even in the anime confusion goes away after the pokemon comes back into it's pokeball; in the battle frontier episode that ash battles lady annabelle, she confuses corophish & he brings it back into the pokeball after batteling espeon & he sends it strait back in & corophish is not confused any more.
Hope thus helps:)

Fructose or Sorbitol Intolerance
Topic Overview
Fructose and sorbitol are two sugars that often are added to processed foods and medicines to make them taste sweet. Fructose can be found in soda pop and many fruit juice drinks. Sorbitol is found in diet products, chewing gum, candy, frozen ice treats, and some medicines (such as syrups for fevers and colds). Sometimes sorbitol and fructose are added to the same product.
Gas, abdominal bloating and pain, and diarrhea are common symptoms of fructose or sorbitol intolerance.

The Appeals Chamber of the Bosnian State Court will give their verdict on Djordjislav Askraba, who is charged with crimes in Kalinovik, on Wednesday, April 18.
In its closing arguments, Askraba's defence team asked the court to acquit their client, saying that the prosecution had failed to prove that he was guilty of forced disappearances and the murder of Bosniak civilians, who were led away from the Gunpowder Storage camp in Kalinovik in 1992.
"The evidence proves that Askraba did not make decisions concerning the imprisonment of civilians, that he did not have any authority over their guards, or jurisdiction over the conditions of their imprisonment, and that he could not have any power over those people who were leaving the Gunpowder Storage camp," said Radivoje Lazarevic, the defendant's lawyer.
Lazarevic added that Askraba could not be held responsible for the actions of his superiors, who had given the orders that led to the prisoners being taken away from the camp.
"If Askraba is convicted of such actions, such a verdict would support the principle of collective guilt and not individual guilt," said the lawyer.
Askraba is charged, as a commander of the guards and acting warden of the Gunpowder Storage camp, with taking part in a joint criminal enterprise against Bosniaks in Kalinovik.
The indictment states that Askraba is guilty of using civilians as forced labour, as well as forced disappearances of imprisoned civilians.
Lazarevic said in his closing arguments that Askraba was a "common policeman and guard" in 1992, and that he worked in the Gunpowder Storage camp to "avoid going to the frontline".
The first instance verdict acquitted Askraba of crimes in Kalinovik, but the Appellate Chamber overturned the verdict and ordered a retrial, which began in October last year.
In its closing arguments on April 5, the prosecution requested that Askraba be found guilty of crimes committed in the territory of Kalinovik.

We just released our 2011 update to last year's EA top trends report, The Top 15 Technology Trends EA Should Watch: 2011 To 2013. In 2011, we have expanded our coverage by releasing two documents of 10 trends each:
In addition to adding more trends, we made some other improvements as well, including: 1) updating the quadrants of the watchlist and providing a description of each; 2) providing details on how we scored the technologies in our watchlist; and 3) identifying four overarching themes that are influencing all the trends: empowerment, the app Internet, everything-as-a-service, and big data. More on these later!
For this first blog post on trends, I'm going to post the business technology trends.
The trends:
Next week I'll post on the second report and provide the technology trends and watchlist, so stay tuned.
I want to conclude with a thanks to all the analysts that helped with this report – it was a true collaborative effort, and it was great to work with our best and brightest as a new analyst. Here's who helped:
William Band, John Brand, Bobby Cameron, Boris Evelson, Nigel Fenwick, Mike Gualtieri, Paul D. Hamerman, Randy Heffner, Rob Karel, TJ Keitt, James G. Kobielus, Kate Leggett, Derek Miers, Henry Peyret, Clay Richardson, Stephan Ried, Ph.D., John R. Rymer, James Staten
Check the links to their blogs, as many of them are blogging on specific trends that feature in their research.
Most HR is focused on eleyompes as assets. Oracle even calls one of its HR packages Human Capital Management. So, for me at least and as someone installing a major HR system, I do not see HR as the custodians of the human touch.On the positive side competency frameworks at least try to ensure that we can compare apples with apples when looking to see what kind of people are needed to fulfil certain roles. However, how many people can be truly defined by a set of words that are often more lowest common factor than highest common multiplier?So, when thinking about large scale changes to an organisation- and most large systems-driven change counts in this area then I worry as much about organisation and people as I do about technology, information and process, often-times even more.Why?Because people are not automatons and are capable of sentience and rational (and irrational) behaviour, Accepting this changes the way in which we shape and manage the user experience for the system and the change and therefore people are at the centre of the EA process for me.

Climbing the highest peaks is the ultimate adventure for many people — not least professional photographer Alexandre Buisse. Not only does Buisse experience the excitement of mountaineering, but he has had the opportunity to take some exquisite photographs of the magnificent views and climbs. Environmental Graffiti interviewed him to learn about his experiences.
When one thinks of mountain climbing, it seems like the epic challenge should be hard enough on its own. Yet taking photographs from the sides of mountains adds another layer of difficulty. Buisse explains: "The photography itself is not that much more difficult. The difficult part is getting there in the first place with enough equipment to create a good image. There are additional constraints compared to more 'regular' photography, mostly related to being unable to move around or wait for a long time for the perfect light."
"On the other hand," Buisse continues; "one gets unique access to some of the most beautiful places on the planet. I regularly stumble upon scenes so beautiful that photographing them feels like shooting fish in a barrel."
Luckily, Buisse doesn't need special equipment for the harsh conditions; rather, as he tells us: "All of the protective equipment I take tends to be for the photographer, not the camera."
It can be hard to be a slave to two loves, and at times trade-offs are needed. Buisse elaborates: "I often have to decide what my priority is: climbing or photography, which will completely change my decision making. I often have to sacrifice a good photo opportunity because it would be too time-consuming or dangerous to stop, and conversely have 'lost' a lot of time shooting when I might have been climbing. But overall, I feel I am lucky to be able to combine both of these passions!"
We asked Buisse for some tips for less experienced adventure photographers and here's what he had to say: "The number one single most important tip is to always have your camera readily available — not in base camp, not in your backpack, not even in a pocket a few layers down. Right there where you can access it in seconds when the right photo opportunity presents itself. If you want to shoot adventure sports, point of view is the key to an interesting image. I spend much more time accessing the right place to shoot from than actually taking pictures."
"For climbing, it usually means being above or to the side," continues Buisse. "For hiking, it could mean going off the trail or running in front of the subject. For biking, getting down low in a sharp turn, etc. Just make sure you keep safety in mind at all times."
Buisse continues: "Always wait for the right moment — and when you think it's there, don't be shy with the burst mode of your camera. I am usually looking for eye contact, action and good facial expression — roughly in that order."
And, he concludes: "Shoot a lot, so that when a truly great opportunity presents itself, you will have the experience and the mileage to nail it when it really matters. If you need a few extra seconds to hunt down the setting you need in the menus of your camera, chances are you missed the shot."
Amazingly enough, Alexandre Buisse didn't start climbing until he was in his twenties, so for those who want to, it's never too late! He gained his love of mountains from skiing and hiking in the Chamonix part of the French Alps — where many of these images are from — when he was young. And his love of photography? "Photography came from my frustration of not being able to record adequately my experiences when hiking (and later climbing). This inspired me to pick up a DSLR and learn more about photography as a way to communicate what it can be like to walk and climb in such a beautiful environment."
Buisse doesn't plan on stopping any time soon, even though he has done more than most of us do in a lifetime. When asked if he had a dream climb, his answer was manifold. "I have many dream climbs with various degrees of achievability. This winter, for instance, I would love to climb the north face of Les Droites, a difficult and committing ice route."
But Buisse has many more dream climbs he wants to pursue. He continues: "Next summer, I want to do some of the classic north faces, including Les Drus and the Walker Spur on Grandes Jorasses. I would also like to complete the traverse of the Aiguilles de Chamonix, a route I failed on once before. More ambitiously, I would love to climb the Cassin route on Denali, Cerro Torre and Fitzroy in Patagonia, the north face of Cholatse and Nuptse in Nepal, the Trango Towers in Pakistan, solo an A4 route on El Capitan and make first ascents in Antarctica and Central Asia. That should keep me busy for a few years."
Definitely! Alexandre Buisse has written two guides to adventure photography, which aspiring photographers can pick up. One on hiking and climbing photography and one on mountain photography. You can also see more of his stunning photography on his website.

Big Pharma spends over €40 million per year lobbying in the EU, dwarfing public health NGOs
28 March 2012 - New research reveals that the pharmaceutical industry lobby is spending more than €40 million annually to influence decision making in the European Union (EU) – of which nearly half is spent by drug manufacturers on in-house lobbyists.
According to these findings, civil society organisations active on EU medicines issues, on the other hand, spend a combined €3.4 million per year. With the immense disparity between the affluence of public interest groups and the industrial lobby, it becomes even more difficult to level the policy playing field.

Brussels, 18 July 2011 – The European Commission is expected to tomorrow (19/7/11) release the names of seven voluntary certification schemes approved to certify biofuels according to the 'sustainability criteria' set out in the Renewable Energy Directive. This follows a lawsuit filed by environmental law organisation ClientEarth, Friends of the Earth Europe (FOEE), FERN and Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) against the Commission's refusal to provide access to information regarding the approval of such schemes.

"Deahanna's Story: Local Respite Home Owner Could Use Your Help."
As I was perusing FaceBook the other day, I came across a posting that I felt compelled to look further into; a "cry out" from a family in need. After contacting the mother, Deahanna Hubbard who posted through another FaceBook user, we made plans for me to meet her at her home in Johnson Ranch. I brought a few buckets full of clothing and as we got to talking I asked her of her story. This woman, along with her boyfriend are filled with such compassion that I was honestly overwhelmed and stricken (in a positive way) by their efforts, high and endless energy, as well as an obvious love for their family.
