lavitafurniture needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 194 designs submitted by 46 freelance designers.
Lavita Furniture
We're Lavita Furniture. We sell great quality, contemporary outdoor and indoor furniture to our customers Australia-wide. We're a young company, run by young people. We're energetic, driven and focused on great quality and great service.
We sell products with a focus on contemporary design. Most of our furniture is usually very cleanly and simply styled with an emphasis on the material (rather than frills and flourishes you'll find on old-fashioned furnishings).
We want to sell the lifestyle as well as the furniture. Its not just about the product, its about how you use it and how it improves you life. Lavita after all is Italian for "The life". Our tagline: "Live the good life" & "Love Life, Love Lavita"
The main style of furniture we sell is outdoor wicker furniture, however we are about to expand our range to include hi-gloss polyurethane furniture (sexier than it sounds).
While these may be two distinct styles of furnishings they are united by our style philosophy: Clean, simple, fresh and light. And of course, we want a logo to reflect this idea.
Visit us on the web to get a better idea
Our customers so far have come in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few archetypes:
1.Young couples decking their house out for the first time.
2.Retirees with more time on their hands to spend lounging around.
3.Young families creating a space for entertaining.
4.Single professionals with an eye for style.
Even though we offer our products at cut-prices, most of our customers come from a higher socioeconomic background. They usually have a disposable income and spare time to spend lounging about. Also, being an online business, its safe to say that our customers know how to use the interweb and are at least somewhat clued-in to the world around them, including the latest trends and styles.
Saying this... we don't necessarily want to target this high end (if we did, we'd put our prices up!). We want to be as accessible to as wide an audience as possible. We don't want a logo that suggest that we're an ooh-la-la, fancy pants, elite furniture retailer. But we don't want it to suggest that we sell cheap, mass market crap. We want a logo that says "Look at this great furniture I got at this great price!'.
To sum up: Fresh, light, bright, clean, modern, young, new.
Our current corporate branding is light grey with orange on a white background. However feel free to experiment with colours. We don't mind a completely fresh start. We brand ourselves as "Lavita", although we'd like to brand ourselves as "Lavita Furniture" A design that allows both is a plus.
We want something that suggests the quality and contemporary styling of our furniture that doesn't suggest we're out of reach to the common man. Vice versa, we're not a budget, mass-market retailer either.
We'd like to incorporate an emblem that is simple, instantly recognisable, and makes an effort to suggest our spirit and ideals.
A sans serif font is preferred. Like our furniture, we want to do away with the frills and flourishes as much as possible.
It has to look great on the web, but also scalable to look good on anything from business card to billboard. It has to look good in greyscale since we print alot of black and white documents.
Simple, limited colour palette. 2 colours is great, although we'll certainly consider anything more adventurous.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

There is renewed interest in several areas of soybean weed control. Some growers are asking what they can add to their Roundup Ready programs for resistance management.
LibertyLink soybeans which will be commercially available for the first time in 2009. And there is renewed interest in conventional soybeans.
Intertwined in all three areas is an increase in the promotion and interest in soil residual herbicides for resistance management.
The interest in soil residual herbicides has come full circle.
Prior to the introduction of Roundup Ready soybeans, a soil-applied herbicide was used on the majority of the soybean acreage.
After Roundup Ready soybeans were planted on most of the acres, soil applied herbicide use fell to essentially zero. Now the pendulum is swinging back.
With the exception of Valor, most of the active ingredients available for soil-applied use are the same as those we had prior to the introduction of Roundup Ready soybeans. The names have changed on some of them and there are a lot of different mixtures available, but the herbicides are essentially the same.
Perhaps those who were farming soybeans 15 or so years ago do not need a refresher course on soil-applied herbicides. Of course, some of you may be like me — you were farming then, but your memory isn't too good.
There are a lot of farmers, though, whose only experience with soybean weed control has been with glyphosate in Roundup Ready soybeans.
When we were using soil-applied herbicides on the majority of the soybean acres, most were preplant incorporated herbicides instead of pre-emergence herbicides (those applied to the soil surface after planting). Most of the soybeans then were grown using conventional tillage systems and most were grown in wide rows and were cultivated.
Only after Roundup Ready soybeans were introduced (along with better no-till drills about the same time) did narrow row and reduced tillage systems really take off.
Most of the soil-applied herbicides were preplant incorporated for several reasons. Treflan, introduced in the 1960s and one of "Ford's Hall of Fame" herbicides, became extremely popular and could only be used preplant incorporated because it would volatilize if left unincorporated.
We later got Lasso and Dual, which could be used both preplant incorporated and pre-emergence. However, they were much more effective on red rice when incorporated.
Therefore, most farmers in Arkansas were using preplant tillage anyway and they learned very quickly how to use incorporated herbicides effectively.
As herbicide development continued, several effective herbicides, such as Sencor, Scepter, Pursuit, and Canopy, came along. They could be used either incorporated or pre-emergence.
In addition to the reasons cited earlier, incorporated herbicides continued to be much more popular in the South than pre-emergence herbicides because a soil-applied herbicide is useless until it is activated by moisture and available to be taken in by the weeds.
If a residual herbicide is incorporated into moist soil, it is usually activated.
If it is applied to the soil surface, it must have rainfall or overhead irrigation for activation.
With warm soil temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns in the South, weeds often emerge before the pre-emergence herbicide is activated. For this reason, pre-emergence herbicides have always been much more erratic in the South than in the Midwest, for example.
Preplant incorporated herbicides can be just as effective today as they were in the 1980s and before.
However, I doubt that most farmers will go back to them. This means the increased interest in residual herbicides is going to be in those applied pre-emergence, and you must be realistic in what you expect from them.
I will start here next week.

Yankees start moves early in order to stay later
NEW YORK -- Keeping the lights off at Yankee Stadium in October never fits into the Yankees' business model, so it was anticipated that the organization would attack the offseason aggressively coming off an 85-win showing in 2013.
With so many items to handle on the to-do list, general manager Brian Cashman made it clear that he intended to tackle whatever he could as soon as possible, sending a message that the Yankees were open for business and ready to sign on the dotted line.
NEW YORK -- Keeping the lights off at Yankee Stadium in October never fits into the Yankees' business model, so it was anticipated that the organization would attack the offseason aggressively coming off an 85-win showing in 2013.
With so many items to handle on the to-do list, general manager Brian Cashman made it clear that he intended to tackle whatever he could as soon as possible, sending a message that the Yankees were open for business and ready to sign on the dotted line.
That approach has resulted in some bold-face additions to the Yanks' 2014 roster. Thanks to a spending spree of more than $300 million, manager Joe Girardi is pondering a lineup that will include Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran, as well as a few items still in the works.
"Our need to be aggressive is because of how our season went," Cashman said. "The obvious answers aren't coming from within, so we have no choice but to be aggressive."
There were also pieces that the Yankees expressed interest in retaining, but ultimately did not. Robinson Cano was a top target and the Yanks offered seven years at $175 million, but that could not match the Mariners' larger offer. Curtis Granderson also switched boroughs, inking a four-year deal with the Mets.
"It's probably not what I would have imagined was going to happen," Girardi said, "because I think you always hold out that the players you have are going to [stay] and that you're going to add to it.
"But that's the nature of this business, players leave. We've added three guys that were with different teams last year, so it's happened to other teams as well. But what we've added to our lineup is as much as I've seen since I've been here. We've added a lot."
And with all of that activity, Cashman said that the Yankees still must fill holes going into the new year. The new-look lineup promises to ring up runs on the scoreboard, but people in the organization still have doubts about the pitching staff, an issue that the Yanks continue to look to address.
Given that, the Yankees head into 2014 with a healthy list of questions that soon will be answered. Here is a look at 10 of the most pressing, in no particular order:
1. How realistic is the goal of a $189 million payroll?
Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner has spoken publicly numerous times about his desire to reduce payroll below $189 million in 2014, so that the Yankees can take advantage of a reset in their luxury tax bill, thus allowing them to pump dollars into their club, rather than the rest of the league.
Steinbrenner has also been clear that it is a goal and not an absolute mandate, and that a lower payroll will not come at the expense of a championship-caliber club. Those words are about to be put to the test, as it would take some fancy footwork for the Yanks to fill all of their needs and still remain under $189 million.
Generally speaking, their only chance at this point is if Alex Rodriguez's suspension is upheld for the 2014 season, reducing their luxury tax hit on his contract from $27.5 million to $2.5 million. Even then, a run at elite Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka could blow $189 million away. In that event, they could always try to reduce payroll again in 2015.
2. How will CC Sabathia and the starting five look?
The Yankees still point to Sabathia as their ace, and one positive is that the big lefty can still be counted on as an innings-eating workhorse. There were concerns this past year as Sabathia's velocity stalled and his home run rate rose. They are trends that the Yanks hope will reverse in his second year back from elbow surgery, but Sabathia himself has acknowledged that he has a lot of innings on his arm and some slowdown was inevitable.
Behind Sabathia, there are more questions. Cashman said that he wanted to import 400 innings to slot alongside Sabathia and Ivan Nova, and he found approximately 180 to 200 of those in Hiroki Kuroda, who was the Yankees' best starter for a long stretch last year before running out of gas in mid-August. The Yanks pushed Kuroda hard because they had to, and Girardi will likely take greater care with him in the second half in 2014.
Tanaka obviously would be a terrific fit on paper, and you can expect the Yankees to bid heavily for the Rakuten Golden Eagles standout. His arrival is no sure thing, as the Yanks will have competition and should probably anticipate being drawn into a bidding war.
As a backup plan, they've touched base with the other free-agent starters on the market, a group paced by Bronson Arroyo, Matt Garza and Ubaldo Jimenez.
The Yankees also have a group of candidates like David Phelps, Michael Pineda, Adam Warren and Vidal Nuno to compete for a rotation spot in camp.
3. When (and how) will A-Rod's situation be resolved?
The Yankees, Rodriguez and Major League Baseball should have a final resolution on the appeal of Rodriguez's 211-game suspension shortly after the new year, which is good news for all parties involved. Independent arbitrator Fredric Horowitz has the ability to uphold, reduce or altogether lift Rodriguez's record-setting ban.
Club officials have said that they continue to proceed as though Rodriguez will be an active player in 2014, for budgetary reasons as well as in talent evaluation. If Rodriguez will be unavailable for most or all of the season, the Yanks would have some additional money to spend, but also will need help at third base. Currently, infielder Kelly Johnson would be the likeliest candidate on the roster to fill the position.
4. What should the Yankees expect from Derek Jeter?
Jeter played just 17 games in what he referred to as a "nightmare" season, and the organization re-signed him to a one-year, $12 million deal in early November. That contract is a challenge for Jeter to prove that last season was a fluke, and that a full offseason of lower-half training will allow his legs to recover and give the captain a strong base to play out a demanding season.
The Yankees aren't in the business of betting against Jeter, and for good reason, but there are still plenty of reasons for concern. He will turn 40 in June, and the number of everyday shortstops at that age is short and sweet. They re-signed defensive whiz Brendan Ryan as insurance and really won't know what they have until Jeter resumes playing in the spring.
5. How will Ellsbury, Beltran and McCann adapt to life with the Yankees?
Girardi said shortly before the holidays that he has already started to formulate lineups in his mind, and it's easy to see why he would be excited. The Yankees are betting big on three established stars, but as we've learned many times, there are no guarantees in free agency.
Ellsbury is a dynamic game-changer at the top of the order when healthy, which is why the Yankees made a massive $153 million commitment to him. The disabled list obviously has been an issue in his recent history, but Ellsbury said that he is completely healed after Boston's championship run, and the Yanks didn't see anything in his physical to warrant a red flag.
McCann offers a brand of power that the Yankees so sorely lacked from their catchers in 2013, and they also fell in love with his reputation for leadership in the clubhouse and on the field. Yankee Stadium promises to be an excellent fit for his left-handed stroke, but he also has had a few injury flags pop up. Catchers in their mid-30s tend to slow down, but for the first few years of the deal, the Yanks hope there is nothing to worry about.
They're also pleased by the addition of Beltran, adding another switch-hitter to the lineup, albeit one with some miles on the tires. Beltran has a reputation for being a solid clubhouse presence -- despite some hard feelings about his time with the Mets -- and his postseason track record is appealing. It all looks promising on paper, but of course a lot can change during a 162-game schedule.
6. How will the Yankees reduce their crowded outfield?
Cashman said that it would not be a "preferable situation" for the Yankees to carry six outfielders, which is a strong hint that something should happen there very shortly. The names most prominently on the bubble are Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells. The Yanks would entertain a trade involving Ichiro, who has one year remaining at $6.5 million, but thus far haven't been able to drum up much interest. Thanks to some creative accounting, Wells actually doesn't cost against the Yankees' luxury tax bill in 2014, with his contract being paid by the Angels. Thus, he's a strong candidate for release if the Yanks determine that's necessary.
7. Who is Mariano Rivera's replacement?
Rivera strolled into the sunset back in late September saying that he believed David Robertson has earned a chance to serve as the next Yankees closer. That very well may turn out to be the case, but Cashman said recently that Robertson is unproven as a closer, and thus the organization is continuing to see what else is out there.
Grant Balfour's name popped back up on the radar after his deal with the Orioles fell apart. That would be one avenue the Yanks could pursue, but it would not be surprising if they ultimately choose to go with Robertson, whose sneaky fastball and high strikeout rates have tempted evaluators to picture him having a solid closing career.
8. What does the future hold for Brett Gardner?
The Yankees quickly turned down a trade offer from the Reds at the Winter Meetings that would have shipped Gardner to the Reds for second baseman Brandon Phillips. It is not difficult to see why teams view Gardner as an attractive and affordable piece, especially coming off a season in which he was healthy into September and seemed to come into his own.
But the Yanks also like Gardner for those same reasons, and do not intend to trade him unless they can score an upper-echelon starting pitcher in return. They do like the idea of Gardner as an Ellsbury-lite type of player, and whether it's first and second or ninth and first in Girardi's lineup, batting them back-to-back could have some fun consequences during the year.
9. How will the reconstructed bullpen perform?
Beyond replacing a Monument Park legend in Rivera, the Yankees also had some other business to tackle with their relief corps. They signed veteran lefty Matt Thornton to a two-year contract in December as a replacement for Boone Logan, who found a three-year deal with the Rockies.
That tackled one problem, but the Yanks still are patching together the alignment. Assuming Robertson gets the closing gig, he can count on Shawn Kelley and Preston Claiborne helping to set up. Behind them is a jumble of names that the Yankees don't seem ready to commit to yet. In fact, Cashman suggested that the Yanks might need to fill their pitching needs -- both rotation and bullpen -- via non-roster invitations in the spring, and maybe even later than that.
10. Can Mark Teixeira reach his baseball card numbers?
Teixeira often said, memorably, that you should be able to look at the back of his baseball card and count on seeing 30 home runs and 100 RBIs each year. For the better part of a decade, he was right, though those numbers dipped to 24 homers and 84 RBIs in 2012 and fell off completely in 2013 when he was able to play in just 15 games.
The right wrist surgery Teixeira had performed this past year can be tricky to return from, but there are success stories that suggest it can be done -- Jose Bautista is a prime example; David Ortiz is another. Teixeira said he feels close to 100 percent and that he will try to focus on hitting homers, driving in runs and playing top-notch defense. If he does, as far as the Yankees are concerned, that'll be enough.

Thomas E. Dewey
Thomas Edmund Dewey (b: 24 March 1902; d: 16 March 1971) was the former Republican governor of New York, serving three terms from 1943 to 1955. He was also the Republican presidential candidate on two occasions, losing to the incumbents, President Franklin D Roosevelt in 1944 and to President Harry S Truman in 1948.
In the latter election, he was seen by many as the front-runner. So much so, in fact, that the Chicago Daily Tribune mistakingly ran several hundred copies of their post-election edition with the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman."[1] Dewey lost because he ran a typically RINO campaign, expecting the public to automatically want to vote for him without his having to reach out and persuade the voters.
Early life
Thomas Dewey was born in Owosso, Michigan, on 24 March 1902. After completing his education at the University of Michigan, he moved to New York and completed his LLB at Columbia University in 1925. After his graduation, he toured England and France, before returning to New York and entering the state bar. In 1928, he married Frances E. Hutt; they had two children.[2]
In 1933 Dewey was appointed as the attorney of the southern district of New York, having been appointed as his predecessor's chief assistant in 1931. At the time, he was the youngest U.S. attorney ever, aged just 31. However, President Roosevelt appointed a Democrat to fill the position just 5 weeks after Dewey took office, which prompted him to return to private law practice.
In 1935, however, he was appointed special prosecutor for the Investigation of Organized Crime in New York and his campaign against narcotics and vice racketeers resulted in 72 convictions in 73 prosecutions. As a result of Dewey's successes, notorious gangster Dutch Schultz planned to have him assassinated. However, rival gangsters, fearful of the potential backlash Dewey's murder would invoke had Schultz killed instead.[3]
In office he earned a reputation for efficiency and honesty and was regarded as a "moderate Republican". In 1937 he was elected district attorney for New York County and was elected Governor of New York in 1942 - a post he was subsequently re-elected to in 1946 and 1950.
Presidential Campaigns
In 1944, Dewey won the Republican presidential nomination to run against the incumbent President Roosevelt. The election took place during the World War II and Dewey had an impossible task against combination of a popular wartime leader and Dewey's own lack of experience in international affairs, and was beaten by 25,602,505 to 12,006,278.[4] His running-mate was another governor, John W. Bricker, who helped the ticket to win Bricker's native Ohio.
He was the Republican's nomination once again in 1948, this time running against Roosevelt's successor, President Truman. Although - or possibly because - he was the acknowledged front-runner, Dewey waged a non-committal campaign designed to avoid offending any segment of the electorate. He made only a few speeches, avoided controversial issues, and scarcely recognized the opposition. His running mate for the second race was another governor, Earl Warren, later the liberal Chief Justice of the United States. The ticket won Dewey's New York but lost Warren's California. Dewey and Warren lost to Truman and the Democratic vice-presidential choice, Alben Barkley, by the relatively narrow margin of 24,105,812 to 21,970,065, primarily because Truman retained the support of farmers and organized labor. But in the electoral vote, Truman had a clear majority.[5]
Later life
In 1950 he was elected to his third successive term as New York's governor. He did not stand in the 1952 election, and instead assisted Dwight Eisenhower to win first the Republican Party nomination and then the presidential election.
In 1955, at the end of his third term as governor of New York, Dewey retired from politics and he reentered private practice with the New York firm of Dewey, Ballantine, Bushby, Palmer, and Wood.
By 1957, Dewey had been awarded 16 honorary degrees and had written several books, including "The Case against the New Deal" (1940); "Journey to the Far Pacific" (1952), based on his travels to 17 Pacific countries, a trip suggested by State Department adviser John Foster Dulles; and "Thomas E. Dewey on the Two Party System" (1966).
He died on 16 March 1971, at Bal Harbour, Florida.

Grandpa's History Lesson
When I was a small boy, my grandfather, Wick Hopkins, took me on a fishing trip to Wendover Junction on the North Platte River near Guernsey, Wyoming. The day had turned cold and rainy by the time we arrived at the fishing spot. Grandpa and I boarded an old cable trolley car that was to take us over the river to the north side. It was hand operated by pulling the car along with a lever that was attached to the cable that the car hung from. A man was there to operate the lever while grandpa and I sat and watched the Wyoming scenery as we crossed the North Platte River. When we arrived on the other side we then walked down the river to a spot where grandpa often liked to fish and we started casting out. I soon got cold and gave up on the fishing so grandpa Wick told me to go and gather up a bunch of the dried buffalo (cow) chips which were abundant around the area. Of course, being a boy, if it was doing something to get dirty... then all the better! He piled a few of the chips up and lit them with a match, growing up in Texas and Wyoming, he knew they would instantly burn. As they burned slow and hot, they put off enough heat to keep me warm. I was fascinated by the way they burned and I entertained myself gathering and keeping chips stoked on the fire for most of the rest of the day. He told me there was little wood to burn in the prairie states during the 1800's and the plains were nearly treeless at that time, finding fuel for fires was a constant chore for the pioneers and emigrants heading west but there were plenty of buffalo chips and the homesteaders used them for cooking and heating as they crossed the plains in wagons. They also gathered and dried them for use as fuel when they began to build sod houses and cabins on the prairie. He told me that the homesteaders had used everything available to them to live and survive.
My grandpa passed this knowledge down to me in a unique and special way, We had a fun day together, despite the in-climate weather, one that I will always cherish and remember. Grandpa Wick didn't catch any fish that day and because the burning prairie "fuel" had kept me warm, I did not catch a cold!

First introduced in 1999 through a collaboration between Electronic Arts and film director Steven Spielberg, the Medal of Honor franchise stood out among the corridor shooters of the time because of its sharp presentation and focus on the story of the soldier.
But somewhere along the way, the once-acclaimed series lost its luster, and while the Medal of Honor name was still recognizable, competition from top-tier first-person shooter developers and shortfalls in the franchise's innovation and quality caused the series to lose relevance.
With this year's modern day series reboot -- simply called Medal of Honor, and set in modern-day Afghanistan -- EA hopes to once again put the franchise at or near the top of the genre.
Here we speak to EA Los Angeles' Greg Goodrich and Rich Farrelly, Medal of Honor's executive producer and senior creative director, respectively, and EA Games label president Frank Gibeau, who admits the franchise "did fall on hard times," but is confident of a turnaround.
What are your expectations for Medal of Honor, business-wise, compared to Medal of Honor: Airborne?
Frank Gibeau: With Medal of Honor, we're rebooting the series to get into the top 10. I was not satisfied with the sales of Airborne, and it was a project that I inherited when I came into this label, and at the very last minute. We basically had a month on it. So I looked at the future of what I wanted to build inside of the Games label, and we want to be the worldwide leaders in the shooter category, full stop.
We looked at the assets, the intellectual property, and the team talent that we had, it made sense to me to bring Medal of Honor back, but it had to be brought back in a new way with a new approach, and that's what we spent the last 18 months or so working on. We're really excited so far to the response to the reboot, and we haven't even really shown that much at all.
We're going to be in the Medal of Honor business for a long time. It helped build the genre in terms of the shooter category. When we talk to consumers on the research level, there's still a very strong, positive feeling about the brand. It did fall on hard times there, but the goal is to bring it back in a bigger, better, badder way.
What did you see going on with the Medal of Honor franchise when you first came onto the EA Games label that you didn't like? Was the company taking the franchise for granted?
FG: Yeah. I think any franchise that's been around for a long time, they get in a rut, they become over-annualized. They run out of innovation. The team pounds on a game every year, and they get tired, they run out of time and effort to be innovative and try and take some new risks. That was my view on how the franchise has fallen.
I also felt like the online component wasn't getting enough attention. Any shooter worth its salt is going to be really breakthrough in its online play, and I think Battlefield: Bad Company is a good example of that, I think Modern Warfare 2 is a good example of that, I think Halo clearly is a good example of that. The power of a franchise in the shooter category is in the online component and modes.
With Medal of Honor, we felt like we needed to take creative risks with the IP, we need to put together a world-class development team to bring that product to life, and as part of the feature set, online needed to be a significant part of the offer and the design. The DICE guys, the Battlefield 1943 team were able to partner with our LA squad and they're doing some pretty remarkable stuff online for MOH that you guys will find out more about this summer.

We are looking for a "web 2.0" style logo;
There are essentially 2 components to the logo – the BrainBear Icon and the Font. Together or separate we haven't yet decided.
1) Font
We want the logo that can to be used on all our products. We would like a logo with words BrainBear Lab or just BrainBear, and it needs to be clean and simple enough to be suitable for placement on our products and packaging.
2) BrainBear Icon/illustration
We like quirky, unique, but simple.
It is VERY important that we have a design that will be suitable and recognizable in ANY single colour, in case we will need to only choose one specific colour to print on products. It will also need to be simple enough to emboss on products without the font. Once we gain more brand recognition we would like to drop printing the font on our products and only use our logo symbol, and since some products are quite small in size, if we have a design that is too elaborate (the current design in last attachment) the detail will be lost.
**Logo will be used for;
*Products (printed &/or embossed)
*Business Cards & Stationary
*Possibly Store Front
*Promo Products
PLEASE don't be afraid to experiment with options, and ask questions. We WILL respond within 24 hours or quicker.
Also, note there are a few examples in the attached files, but this is just to illustrate what type of logo's we like. Feel free to suggest any ideas based on examples we've uploaded.

No, unfortunatly you are not right. The ends do not justify the means.
I paid a pretty penny for Ruby. that money went directly to a dirt bag BYB. He produces more than 7 litters a year and I helped to enable that.
Her conformation is crap, her temperament is so-so. She is a wonderful dog and I love her dearly, but that doesn't change the fact that I put money in the pocket of someone who has no interest in breeding past one thing - MONEY.
When you buy a dog from someone who is not doing right by the breed you are further enabling them to continue their poor practices. If you want a dog just to be a companion there are many available through rescue, with backgrounds as unclear as the dogs from BYB's.
You're correct, even reputible breeders don't usually have a few generations of dogs present on their property, however, they can readily identify [some of] them and their accomplishments.

If you have not seen these already, here are a couple of interesting articles about SAR cost reimbursement policies.
https://www.outsideonline.com/1986496/s ... ot-exactly
http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/pay- ... rescue.htm
The second article describes cases in which people have refused SAR services to avoid the costs. This appears to be the main reason states and other jurisdictions generally do not seek reimbursement from the people they rescue.
I suspect that avoidance of rescue costs is an important consideration in Claremont.
I don't have the impression that anyone is anxious to close trails. Overall, I think the public resists trail closures and charging for rescues inspite of the high cost of reckless adventure and nonreckless accidents.

The Coming War of Gog and Magog, An Islamic Invasion?
By Jennifer Rast
Contender Ministries
Ezekiel 38 through 39 tells of a future invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations that surround it. As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflict in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in our lifetime. Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion. For 19 centuries the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948 there was no nation of Israel to invade. With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist; a war that will end with the destruction of Israel's enemies by God Himself, and lead to the signing of a peace treaty with the Antichrist.
As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future. The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance. To understand the prophecies of Ezekiel about this future invasion, it's important to understand who the players will be.
There are many theories as to who will join in this future invasion of Israel. Before going through a list of the individual nations, I'll list some of the more common theories you'll hear when studying the prophecies from Ezekiel 38.
Ezekiel 38:1-6 The word of the Lord came to me; Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army - your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops - the many nations with you.'
1. Hashemite Kingdom Theory: The Islamic Nations will come against Israel either by an Iraqi-led, Jordanian led, or Turkish led coalition. The enemy from the north refers to the areas of Syria, Turkey, and Iraq. These Islamic nations make up the lands occupied by Magog, Gomer, Togarmah, Meshech and Tubal.
2. Caucus Theory: Gog and Magog are the Arab nations in an alliance with the Muslim republics of the former Soviet Union. This theory leaves out most of Russia, and includes only the southern part.
3. All Europe theory: Gog and Magog are the sons of Japeth thus the originators of the European races. Gog and Magog therefore indicates all of Europe. This is not a widely held theory and I could find little support for it.
4. Russian Theory: The Hebrew word 'rosh' in verse 3 is identified with Russia, 'Tubal' with Tiblisi or Tobolsk and 'Meshech' with Moscow, therefore Gog and Magog refers to Russia. This is one of the most commonly held views and is based on a different interpretation of the Hebrew word Rosh (used as a noun rather than adjective), similarities in the pronunciation of words, and the Greek translation of Rosh referring to a tribe of people found in what is now Russia.
5. Indo-European Theory: Gog and Magog include the nations descending from Japheth: Russia, the Caucasus(Turkey), Iraq, and the Islamic republics of Central Asia. The coalition is an alliance of Arab nations, Muslim republics, Georgia, southern Russia and the Black sea area.
These are some of the theories you will find if you do any research into the prophecies of Ezekiel 38. You may also find interpretations that are a combination of these, and in fact, I tend to find more evidence for a version of the Indo-European and Caucacus Theory.
Before looking at the participants of this invasion in more detail, it's important to understand that the war described in Ezekiel 38 is not the same as the war that will come at the end of the tribulation when Jesus returns to defeat the Antichrist and establish his millennial kingdom. How do we know this? The war at the end of the tribulation, known as Armageddon, is a world war. Revelation tells us that this battle will involve all nations. The war described in Ezekiel includes specific nations that invade Israel. Also, Armageddon is at the climax of the tribulation, while the war described in Ezekiel comes well before then.
Ezekiel 38:1-7 gives 10 names as participants in the invasion of Israel that will follow the regathering of the Jews to their homeland. First mentioned, is the land of Magog. The most common identity for Magog is in Central Asia. The Jewish historian Josephus said, "Magog founded the Magogians, called Scythians by the Greeks. Scythians were a nomadic tribe who inhabited the ancient territory from Central Asia across the southern part of ancient Russia." Today this area is inhabited by the former Soviet Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and possibly northern parts of Afghanistan. All of these nations that make up the land of Magog have one thing in common - Islam. Militant Islam has been on the rise in these countries since the fall of the Soviet Union, when Islam no longer had to be practiced secretly. Radical Islamic groups such as the Islamic Renaissance Party, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islam are working to reunite central Asian nations and ultimately the entire Muslim world. It is from this part of the world that a leader will arise to bring together a great coalition of nations to invade Israel.
Probably the most debated verse is Ezekiel 38:3. There are two main views on the identity of the Nations God is referring to in this verse. I'll list both here, and let the reader decide which sounds most reasonable.
Rosh as RussiaSome versions of the Bible translate the Hebrew word 'rosh' in verse 3 as a noun referring to a place in Russia. The least credible support for this view is that Rosh sounds like the modern-day name Russia and Meshech sounds like Moscow. In this translation they treat rosh as a proper name. The Greek translation translates Rosh as the proper name Ros. Because the ancient Sarmations were known as the Ras, Rashu, and Rus and inhabited Rasapu which is now Southern Russia, some feel this verse points to Russia as the prince of Rosh. Another support sited for this view is that verse 6 and 15 say the invasion will come from remote parts of the north, and Russia is more remote.
Rosh as chiefOther versions of the Bible translate 'rosh' as an adjective. The argument here is that in the Massoretic text the words 'chief prince' carry the accents Tiphha and Zaqeph-gadol. The Tiphha appears under the resh of the Hebrew word 'rosh'; the Zaqeph-gadol appears on top of the sin of the Hebrew word 'nish'. The Tiphha to the right, underneath the initial consonant of the world 'rosh', or chief, is prepositive and does not mark the tone syllable. The world 'nish' or prince has the accent Zaqeph-gadol which is disjunctive and indicates a pause. So, verse three would read:
"Behold, I am against thee, o Gog, the prince, {pause} chief of Meshech and Tubal"
Rather than:
"Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal."
Here 'rosh' is translated head or chief as it is 423 other times in the Old Testament.
In short, if you believe 'rosh' should be translated as a proper noun you may find the interpretation that Russia will be a part of this coalition more reasonable. If you believe 'rosh' should be an adjective here, you need only concern yourself with who Meshech and Tubal are. I tend to have a problem with the "it sounds like Russia" theory, and find the translation of rosh as an adjective more believable, but to each his own.
Meshech and Tubal in verses 2 and 6, were the names of the 6th and 5th sons of Japheth, the son of Noah (Gen. 10:2). Ezekiel 27:13 also mentions Meshech and Tubal as trading partners with Tyre (Modern Lebanon). It's likely that Meshech and Tubal refer to the ancient Moshi/Mushki and Tubalu/Tibareni who dwelled in the area around, primarily south of, the Black and Caspian Sea in Ezekiel's day. Today these nations would be in the modern country of Turkey, parts of Southern Russia and Northern Iran. All areas with a Muslim majority.
Verse 6 adds Gomer and Beth-Togarmah to the coalition. "Gomer" was the first son of Japheth. The Gomerites were the ancient Cimmerians, expelled in 700 B.C. from the southern steppes of Russia into what is today Turkey. "Togarmah" is the 3rd son of Gomer and beth at the beginning of the name is the Hebrew word for 'house' or 'place of'. In Ezekiel's time there was a city in Cappodocia (Modern Turkey) known as Tegarma, Tagarma, Til-garimmu, and Takarama.
The possibility that four of the names mentioned in Ezekiel are now in Turkey makes a pretty strong argument for Turkey being a part of the invasion of Israel. Current circumstances in that country also lend this view some credibility. Since the break-up of the Soviet Union, Turkey has been gaining inroads into Central Asia (Magog). It is also linked to Central Asia both ethnically and linguistically, and has a growing number of political parties that support opposition to Israel, establishment of a Turkish Islamic Republic, and the worldwide rule of Islam.
Verse 5 brings three more names into the mix. God tells us that "Persia, Cush and Put will be with them".
Persia is a pretty easy one. In 539 B.C. the Persians conquered the city of Babylon. You only need look at a map of the ancient Persian Empire to see that it was centered in the nation known today as Iran. In fact Iran was called Persia until 1935 when it was changed to Iran and then to the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution. It's no secret that Iran is an archenemy of Israel and the West, and a supporter of the Palestinians. They are actively working to get other Arab countries to change camps in their cooperation with the U.S. and Israel.
The ancient kingdom of Cush in Ezekiels time was the land just south of Egypt on the Nile River. Today this land is occupied by Sudan. Sudan is home to the National Islamic Front, is ruled by an Islamic military dictatorship, a strong supporter of Iraq, home to Osama bin Landen from 1991-1996, and harbors countless Islamic terrorist groups. Sudan would easily fit into the coalition as it is already close allies with Iran, trading military supplies for docking rights on the Red Sea shipping routes.
Ancient Put was the land just west of Egypt, or what is today Libya. Libya is another sponsor of terrorism, and openly refuses to recognize Israel's right to even exist. When the coalition against Israel is formed, Libya won't have to be asked twice to join.
Verse 6 adds "and many people with you." The nations listed specifically are all somewhat distant from Israel. By adding "and many people with you", God may have been indicating that those nations and peoples in closer proximity to Israel will join the Jihad. Other nations that might join the alliance are Iraq, Syria, Jordon, and Egypt. All of them are Islamic nations, and all of them would not hesitate to support the destruction of Israel were the opportunity to join such a vast coalition presented to them.
Below is a list of the nations that are listed in Ezekiel as Israel's last-days enemies:
Russia or Chief
Ancient Sarmatians known as Rashu, Rasapu, Ros, and Rus.
Translated as the adjective Chief.
Central Asia
Ancient Scythians - Islamic southern republics of the former Soviet Union with a population of 60 million Muslims. This territory could include modern Afghanistan.
Ancient Muschki and Musku in Cilicia and Cappadocia.
Turkey (also southern Russia and Iran)
Ancient Tubalu in Cappadocia.
Name changed from Persia to Iran in 1935.
Ethiopia (Cush)
Ancient Cush, south of Egypt.
Ancient Put, west of Egypt.
Ancient Cimmerians - from the seventh century to first century B.C. in central/western Anatolia.
Til-garimmu - between ancient Carchemish and Haran (southern Turkey).
Many peoples with you
Other Islamic nations
Possibly Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt
The reasons God gives us for the enemies' invasion of Israel are further proof that the attack will be an Islamic invasion.
The first reason God gives for the invasion in Ezekiel 38 is a desire by the coalition to cover the Jewish land and wipe them off the face of the earth. Urged on by a hatred of the Jewish people they will seek to destroy them and the nation of Israel. This is the stated goal today of almost every Islamic nation in the Middle East. The only nations not currently in a declared state of war with Israel are Egypt, Turkey, and Jordan, yet they would certainly be glad to see Israel eliminated if presented with a willing leader and an opportunity to rid the Middle East of Islam's archenemy.
God tells us that they also come to "seize plunder…and to capture great spoil". Many verses in the Quran advocated plundering for the benefit of Islam and there are several instances of this war tactic throughout the history of Muhammad's life. In fact, it is a common theme in his teachings.
This invasion of Israel and attack on the Jewish people will indeed be a Jihad, but it will also be the final Jihad.
Ezekiel 38:13 "Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you, 'Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?'"
As this invasion develops, a few countries will make a lame protest. This isn't hard to believe when you look at the indifference most nations display as Israel is repeatedly attacked by terrorists.
The specific nations who question Gog's actions are "Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish". Sheba and Dedan are not hard to identify. These were ancient names for what is known today as Saudi Arabia.
Tarshish is most commonly agreed to be ancient Tartessus or the area of present day Spain in Western Europe. In Ezekiels day, Tarshish was in the farthest west regions of the known world. By referring to Tarshish and all her merchants, Ezekiel could have been indicating that Western Europe will join with Saudi Arabia in denouncing the invasion. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia is the only Arab nation to consistently side with the West against radical Islamic elements around the world. The royals of Saudi Arabia mostly side with the West out of an interest in self preservation, and at times oppose us behind the scenes, but they would most probably put on a show of opposition to radical Islam in order to maintain the support of western governments.
A similar alliance has been seen once before during the Gulf War of the early 1990's. The U.S., Western Europe, and Saudi Arabia were allied against Iraq, while Russia, Iran, Sudan, Libya, and most other Middle East nations either aligned with Iraq, or against the U.S. either by directly opposing it, or by remaining neutral.
The good news is that God wins. God will come against the invaders Himself and destroy them. Verses 19-20 say that there will be an earthquake so great that people all over the world will tremble. In the ensuing chaos, nations will begin to turn on each other. The confusion will lead to the largest case of death by friendly fire ever seen.
Verse 22 of Ezekiel tells us that there will be plagues, torrents of rain, hailstones, and burning sulfur. Just as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, he will destroy these invading forces. Once again, God will make it known to all the nations that He is the Lord. He will give the nations proof that He is the Holy One in Israel.
This war against Israel will pave the way for the Antichrist's military rule over the world and his demand that the world worship him as God. With Islam defeated and the Christian Church raptured, opposition to worshipping a man as God will be greatly reduced. Those who are left would have no army with which to mount much of a protest.
So, how should Christians respond to this prophecy? In Ezekiel 39:6,7, and 28 God says that this end-times battle will happen that "they will know that I am the Lord". This message that God's purpose is to cause Israel and the other nations to know He is Lord is repeated over 60 times in Ezekiel. By learning about prophecy and teaching it to others, people will be able to see the glory, majesty, and sovereignty of God in the fulfillment of His divine word. By knowing our Bible and teaching it to others, they will be able to see that there is a divine creator, and a plan for them. Through Jesus Christ and the salvation he offers us freely, there is victory and an eternity more glorious than they can imagine.

Chip Seals (or seal coating, BST, Bituminous Surface Treatment) is the application of a special protective wearing surface to an existing pavement.
A dump truck full of chips (gravel) locks on to the chip spreader and is pulled backwards.A thin layer of liquid asphalt is sprayed down in front of the chip spreader.
Why chip seal?
The Chip Seal Process
Reduced SpeedsAs with any highway construction project, motorists must exercise caution. Reduced speeds ensure your safety and minimize the chance of damaging your vehicle.
During the chip seal process, from the time the gravel is placed on the road to when the the excess is swept away, the speed limit is 35 mph. At that speed, vehicles should not be damaged by flying rocks.Traffic moving at higher speeds can create dust, limit visibility, and cause an inconvenience to local residents. Increased speeds can also cause gravel to break loose from a fresh chip seal creating the risk of flying rock. Rocks thrown from your tires may crack or break a windshield. Flying rocks might also injure pedestrians, bicycle riders, or motorcyclistsBy driving 35 mph, you protect your vehicle from unnecessary damage that can be caused by the sprayed asphalt and loose gravel. The slower speed also decreases the chance of damage from rocks which may be thrown up from other vehicles.We appreciate your patienceThroughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall, we will be making improvements to state highways which may cause some traffic delays. Please be patient. Traveling at the posted construction speed limit in construction zones will ensure your safety and the safety of highway workers. It's also the law. Traffic fines are doubled in construction zones. Obeying warning signs and flagging personnel instructions benefits all those who share the roadway with you, too.

Dec. 13, 2007
The Lipscomb Bisons have added two recruits that should provide a scoring boost next season.
The two members of the 2008-2009 class are Wayne Dedrick from Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Jordan Burgason from Ames High School in Ames, Iowa.
"Wayne is very explosive," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "He is a great athlete. He can shoot the 3-pointer. He can shoot the ball off the dribble.
"He is very strong. He will be a very good defender at the college level once he learns how we defend. He has all the tools to be a good defender."
As a junior Dedrick averaged 18.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals as a shooting guard. He was selected as the most valuable player in the Area 9 Tournament and was honorable mention All-State.
Dedrick, 6-foot-2, is also an outstanding baseball player. He is an infielder for the Hillcrest baseball team, winner of the Class 6-A Championship last season.
He plans to only play basketball at Lipscomb. He opened this season with 24 points in his first game.
His father, Thomas Dedrick, played defensive end at Morris Brown College and signed with the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. He later coached at Morris Brown before beginning a career in financial management.
Burgason, 6-3, is a very similar player to Dedrick in terms of style. Both are shooting guards. Burgason has made a reputation for himself as a consistent 3-point shooter. Last season he was a member of the Iowa Class 4-A Substate 2 Team.
"Jordan is a very-skilled player," Sanderson said. "He has a great feel for how to play. He can really shoot the basketball. He is a great decision maker.
"He knows how to play. He understands the right decisions. He can realty shoot the ball. Both of these guys will be able to stretch the defense which is something that we need."
Burgason first official visit was to Lipscomb. And the Bisons were the first program to offer him a scholarship. Some of the school's recruiting Burgason were William and Mary, Air Force and UNC-Charlotte.
Burgason was sold on Lipscomb as a university as well as the basketball program.
"I went down there and loved the place," he told The Ames Tribune. "They have an arena built in the last few years that seats 5,000 people and the place is all about basketball, no football.
"I would have a good chance of playing when I first get there. It just seemed like the perfect choice for me.:"
Both of them are playing for high school teams that could go on and win their respective state titles this season.
"They are both coming from winning programs like our players did last year,' Sanderson said. "Signing players from winning programs is something that we always want to do."
Both Dedrick and Jordan are not only deep in basketball talent. They are both known for their character on and off the court. Sanderson expects both of them to be major assets for both the basketball program and the university.
"We have always had good players here, but the quality of our players has gotten better because of the success we have had. They can both score from the wings
"Wayne and Jordan are both very good students. Both of them have excellent foundations at home. Their moms and dads are solid people who have provided a solid foundation for them both on and off of the floor. That is a big reason why they have both been successful."
Sanderson expects to sign at least one more player. He and his staff are concentrating on finding another post player.

Snikeris Makes 35 Saves
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's ice hockey team continues racking up time on the power play, but so far the Bulldogs have not been able to make it pay off in wins. Yale had nine chances with the man advantage Friday night against Dartmouth at Ingalls Rink but could not score. The Bulldogs were hit with six penalties of their own and killed off all but one of them -- but that goal was enough to give Dartmouth the margin it needed for a 2-1 win.
Yale (5-13-2, 4-8-1 ECAC Hockey) had generated eight power play chances in the game at St. Lawrence last Saturday but came up empty in a 2-0 loss.
The Bulldogs and the Big Green had one power play each in the first period Friday, but neither scored. Forward Kelly Foley's even-strength goal at 6:30 gave Dartmouth (13-8-0, 9-6-0 ECAC Hockey) a 1-0 lead.
The whistles started coming fast and furious in the second period, as each team had four power play chances. Senior goalie Jackee Snikeris continued to be Yale's most effective penalty killer, sticking away a slap shot in traffic by defenseman Sasha Nanji and then denying forward Amanda Trunzo after a perfect feed from forward Erica Dobos set her up just to Snikeris' right. After a clear by junior defenseman Heather Grant, Snikeris made one more glove save to kill off Dartmouth's third power play of the game.
On Dartmouth's fifth power play of the game, however, the Big Green got a goal from forward Erica Dobos to go up 2-0. That snapped a string of 23 successful penalty kills for Yale, dating back to December 4 of 2010.
As the penalties kept accumulating Yale had 76 seconds of 5-on-3 at the end of the second period, but a hard slap shot by junior forward Aleca Hughes that went wide was the Bulldogs' only scoring chance.
After two more Yale power plays went for naught early in the third, the Bulldogs crept closer with an even-strength goal in transition at 13:25. Hughes and senior forward Bray Ketchum charged into the zone on an odd-man rush, and Hughes buried a pass from Ketchum high on Big Green goalie Lindsay Holdcroft.
Yale's final power play of the night came with 4:16 to play, and the Bulldogs called timeout to set up. They were unable to get any quality chances, though, and Hughes slid the puck wide after gathering in a turnover in the Dartmouth zone.
A backhanded shot by junior forward Lauren Davis was stopped by Holdcroft with 58 seconds to play, and on the ensuing face-off the Bulldogs pulled Snikeris for an extra attacker. Sophomore forward Alyssa Zupon's deflection in front was covered by Holdcroft with 19 seconds to play, and after winning the face-off the Big Green tied the puck up along the boards to run out the clock. Holdcroft finished with 25 saves, while Snikeris made 35 saves -- her fourth straight game with 30 or more saves.
Yale hosts Harvard Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.

This morning we're wrapping up our Spring Fling with one last giveaway with the help of Kat from Cardinalhouse. Kat makes some amazing statement necklaces out of beads and fabric flowers (made from repurposed fabrics!). Here's a little bit about how Cardinalhouse got started from Kat's bio, "Cardinal House is inspired by my grandmother. She was like the craft mafia boss of the family! I grew up touring the Southeast working arts & craft shows/ visiting the wholesale showrooms, etc with her, my mom & aunt. She ran her own business for decades down in Pensacola, FL (Lienhart Dollhouse). I spent a lot of time with her in her garden/ greenhouse when I was a little girl. I'm just now realizing what an impact that seems to have made on me (most of my pieces are garden/ nature inspired! She had birdfeeders spread all throughout her property & her absolute fav was cardinals. Now that she's gone, my mother & I always think of her everytime we see cardinals. Hence the name in honor of the woman that taught me most of what I know when it comes to arts/crafts!" What a sweet beginning.
I happened upon Cardinalhouse and fell in love with the colors, textures, and bold feminine creations. There is a great selection of Necklaces and Hair Pins to be found, with more Earrings, Ornaments, and Rings being added.

Toys 'R' Us is sexing it up for Halo 3: ODST - buying it from the retailer between now and Sept. 26 gives you a $20 in-store gift card and an action figure, both free.
This deal is in-store only, unfortunately, so those with no TRU are SOL on ODST. The retailer ran a similar promotion with Batman: Arkham Asylum last month, so who knows, maybe it's getting much more aggressive as the fall sales season bleeds into winter.

The Trustees' reports on the status of the Social Security and Medicare programs came out last week, and the reports underscore two "big picture" points:
- Of the two programs, Medicare faces much larger fiscal challenges than does Social Security, because Medicare has both demographic factors and rising per capita health costs working against it; and
- If health care reform is to significantly help the outlook for Medicare, some tough choices prescribed in the reform bill and in the rest of current law will have to be followed through on.
Let me put aside point #2 for now. It's a point the Concord Coalition has made before regarding health care reform, underscored by CBO's long-term outlook report as well, in the difference between their "extended baseline" (not so scary) scenario versus their "alternative" (very scary) scenario.
On point #1, the contribution of the Social Security program to the overall fiscal gap is expected to be relatively small over the coming decades–with the difference between annual program income (without interest) and annual program cost staying close to 1 percent of GDP within the 75-year long-range window under "intermediate" assumptions, as can be seen in Figure II.D5 above from the Trustees' report. (Over the last half of the period the gap grows steadily from just over 1 percent to closer to 1.5 percent–reaching 1.44 percent by 2085; see details in table VI.F4 here.)
Some suggest that if Social Security contributes so little to the fiscal gap relative to Medicare, then why do we have to talk about reforming Social Security? (In fact, CBO doesn't even vary their current-law assumptions about Social Security in considering their two different fiscal scenarios.) The argument is often that if Social Security is not really "the problem" (at least not the big part of the problem), then why pick on it?
The trouble is that it's often impossible to simply "undo" the causes of the problem–and given that we "can't get back there from here," we have to learn how to "deal with it" and move on as best we can. In the case of the fiscal challenges posed mostly by uncontrolled growth in health care spending, it's highly unlikely that we will be able to close the gap in the health care programs just by (even major) health care reform alone. And even if it were theoretically possible, we'd be unlikely to choose those policy changes given their likely implications for the quality of health care and quality of life.
On Social Security, it's a small gap, but it's one that's much easier to close, both theoretically and in practice. Closing the gap is certainly not "fun" and does involve sacrifice. We would not want to do it right away in any way that would place undue burdens on current retirees and lower-income workers, especially given the currently-still-weak economy. But there are many different options available to immediately improve that 75-year outlook on Social Security without immediately burdening anyone. (The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget just released this nice summary of the Social Security Trustees' report including a very helpful compilation of Social Security reform options.)
And although the Social Security Trustees' report does not get into specific policy options to close the (small) gap in Social Security, they do make the point that even small problems have a tendency to get larger over time (in this case because the demographic challenge just keeps growing), and closing that gap sooner–even with a plan that is phased in very slowly over time–would be easier than closing it later. From the conclusion of the report's overview (emphasis added):
Over the full 75-year projection period, the actuarial deficit estimated for the combined trust funds is 1.92 percent of taxable payroll?—?0.08 percentage point smaller than the 2.00 percent deficit projected in last year's report. Solvency of the combined OASDI Trust Funds for the next 75 years could be restored under the intermediate assumptions if increases were made equivalent to immediately and permanently increasing the Social Security payroll tax from its current level of 12.40 percent (for employees and employers combined) to 14.24 percent. Alternatively, changes could be made that are equivalent to reducing scheduled benefits by about 12.0 percent. Other ways of reducing the deficit include transfers of general revenue or some combination of approaches.
If no substantial action is taken until the combined trust funds become exhausted in 2037, then changes necessary to make Social Security solvent over the next 75 years will be concentrated on fewer years and fewer generations:
For example, payroll taxes could be raised to finance scheduled benefits fully in every year starting in 2037. In this case, the payroll tax would be increased to about 16.1 percent at the point of trust fund exhaustion in 2037 and continue rising generally thereafter, reaching about 16.7 percent in 2084.
Similarly, benefits could be reduced to the level that is payable with scheduled tax rates in each year beginning in 2037. Under this scenario, scheduled benefits would be reduced 22 percent at the point of trust fund exhaustion in 2037, with reductions reaching 25 percent in 2084.
And regarding the argument often made that we can afford to put those reforms off to future generations, well, even if we made the above changes anytime between now and 2037, the Trustees' report explains that we wouldn't be done–that there would be plenty more for future generations to worry about once we get to that next place we're kicking the can to:
Either of these actions would eliminate the shortfall for the 75-year period as a whole by specifically eliminating annual deficits after trust fund exhaustion. Based on the assumption of continued increase in the average age of the population after the 75?year period (due to expected improvement in life expectancy), Social Security's annual cost will very likely continue to grow faster than scheduled tax revenue after 2084. As a result, ensuring solvency of the system beyond 2084 would likely require further changes beyond those expected to be needed for 2084.
So Social Security reform isn't absolutely "easy"–but it is certainly relatively easier to do than health care reform, and it's even easier the sooner we do it.

What's Your Name? (Who's your Daddy?)Almost immediately after something is created or discovered it is given a designation, a title—a name. The only exception to this would be the brooding artist who doesn't want to name their artwork. (Ironically, their piece ends up being titled "Untitled," so the joke is on them.)
But nowhere are names more important then when they are assigned to people. Some parents name their children after relatives as a way to honor or continue a legacy. Others choose names based on what has a nice "ring" to it. Then there are those who are named because their number is up. I fall into this third category.
My parents named me Dallas. That's right, Dallas, as in 'Texas," "The Cowboys," and the popular, prime-time soap from the 1980s. I got my name a few hours after I was born. Up until that time, my parents couldn't decide on a name. They threw around "Adam" for a while but they weren't sold on it. While still in the hospital, my mother, in frustration decided to go for a walk. Before she left, she threatened my father to "find a name for this boy or so help me!" My father frantically went through the book of baby names but found nothing. His anxiety grew as he heard footsteps coming down the hall and a shadow creep under the doorway. He knew that behind that door was a tired and hormonal woman ready to pounce. In desperation, he plopped the book down and let the pages fall open. He drew his finger and blindly pointed at the page. "Dallas" is where it landed (It could be worse, he could have landed on "Jeeves." If so, I would have an entirely different career path).
Despite all the quips that come with a geographical name, I am happy that I have it. It is unique, and having a unique name has its benefits. For one, I have top pick of usernames when I create an email address. Best of all, the pressure is off. I have no namesake to live up to! On the contrary, I have the opportunity to create a namesake and legacy for my descendants. I have a responsibility to live in such a way that my descendants will be forced to consider "Dallas" as a possible option to name their kids (and I get to laugh from the sidelines as my progeny's classmates learn that "Dallas" spelled backwards is "salad" with an extra "L").
On an upcoming episode of The Generations Project, middle-school teacher John Searcy embarks on a journey into his family history to discover his namesake and legacy. Watch his episode to see what interesting things he finds out about the power of a name.
And speaking of the power of a name, how does your name influence your life? Or do you subscribe to Juliet's observation that, "That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet"?

A Chronology of Black Characters In Comics Pt. 1
Today, many black heroes grace the pages of comics, and some are now making it to the silver screen. But it's been a long road filled with very small steps and long periods of no movement at all. Here is a chance to see how black comic book characters appeared in comics from the earliest "Pioneer era" through the Golden Age, Atomic Age, Bronze Age, the Modern Age, to the present day. These historical treasures depict black characters from the 1800s to today, spanning virtually the entire history of American comic books.
The Chronological History of Black Characters is a collaboration between the Museum Of UnCut Funk and a private collector on the west coast.

Following the lead of the big club, the Admirals break through against the Caps' farm team.
Dustin Tokarski [6] allowed 3 goals on 31 shots for the win.
First Period
HER Wilson, (12) (Carlson, Pinizzotto), 13:24
Second Period
NOR Keller, (6) (Lawrence, Krajicek), 3:14
NOR Simek, (11) (Quick), 15:59
Third Period
NOR Craig, (13) (Keller, Lawrence), 3:22
HER McNeill, (3) (Aucoin, Giroux), 4:21
HER Giroux, (14) (McNeill, Gordon), 7:33
NOR Parrish, (9) , 19:53
Mark Parrish [7] and Justin Keller [8] were the game's first and second stars. The Admirals had lost all five of their previous encounters this season to the Bears, which was a streak of futility oddly similar to the one the Lightning just broke against the Capitals. The Admirals pull into the halfway point of the season at four games under .500, and they'll be 1-2 points behind Adirondack for fourth in the division by the end of the night, tied with both Syracuse and Binghamton at 36 points.
Chris Lawrence [9] broke a 17 game scoreless streak with his first multi-point night of the season. Way to go, Larry.
