Scott, Sebelius have Obamacare chat
A long-awaited sit-down Monday between Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius didn't provide any answers on whether one of Obamacare's biggest critics will suddenly embrace the law.
But the fact that the meeting happened at all — and that Scott is keeping up the newly pragmatic tone he's had since the election — raises the intriguing possibility that one of the nation's most high-profile Republican governors might actually agree to implement some of the law.
Story Continued Below
That's far from a certainty, of course. Scott — a serial tormentor of the Obama administration — is still emphasizing the massive costs he claims his state will have to pay if it sets up a health insurance exchange and expands Medicaid coverage under the law. That's the argument he emphasized to reporters after his meeting with Sebelius, a strong sign that the meeting hasn't changed his mind.
But he's not saying no either — a huge turnaround for a governor who used to insist his state would never lift a finger to cooperate with President Barack Obama's health care law. And if Scott actually does work out even a narrow agreement to implement some of the law, his cease-fire could provide cover for other skeptical states to begin the work of Affordable Care Act implementation.
Scott came away from the meeting without much to say. "I need more information to be sure we understand how it's going to impact every Florida family," he told reporters during a makeshift press conference outside a Starbucks near the Department of Health and Human Services headquarters.
But Scott also described the meeting as "productive" — a more diplomatic tone than he could have taken if he was just trying to score points with Obamacare opponents.
And the meeting, if inconclusive, was laden with post-election symbolism and could turn out to be an important milestone in the implementation of the health law.
Arguably, no other politician has risen so far and so fast as a result of the unpopular health law. His 2010 campaign for governor followed a multimillion effort to defeat the law before it was even on the books.
Scott arrived in Washington on Monday to do what most GOP governors resisting Obama's health law haven't done: sit down with the administration's top health officials after the election to discuss whether both sides can find a way to claim victory in the ongoing fight over Obamacare.
It's unclear what Scott — whose approval rating is tanking at home — sees as his endgame, and his post-meeting presser Monday raised more questions than answers.
Though Florida's path forward on the ACA remains opaque, both the administration and Scott left enough room to continue talking ahead of rapidly approaching deadlines to implement the health care law.
"I'm responsible for Florida families, and what I'm concerned about is their health care," Scott told reporters.
The biggest news out of Monday's meeting was Scott's continued willingness to negotiate with Obama health officials after owing his rise to political prominence to the anti-Obamacare furor that he helped foment. After helping build Columbia/HCA into the nation's largest health care company, Scott shelled out $5 million from his fortune to fight the health care law when it was being drafted in Congress.
When that failed, he ran for governor instead, campaigning against the unpopular law — and after winning an unlikely race, he became one of the nation's most aggressive detractors of the law. Florida was the leading state in the unsuccessful Supreme Court challenge to Obamacare and Scott was a willing cheerleader of the lawsuit.

In the early 20th century, an unprecedented cultural and political movement brought African-American culture and history to the forefront of the US. Named the Harlem Renaissance after the borough where it first gained traction, the movement spanned class, gender, and even race to become one of the most important cultural movements of the interwar era.
Guest Frank Guridy joins us to discuss the multifaceted, multilayered movement that inspired a new generation of African-Americans—and other Americans—and demonstrated the importance of Black culture and its contributions to the West.

U.S. cable television network Showtime says it has ordered a third season of its CIA drama, "Homeland."
The 12-episode new season, was announced by David Nevins, president of entertainment at Showtime Networks Inc.
The network said the series returned for its second season Sept. 30 and is up 60 percent from its Season 1 premiere, which delivered 2.07 million viewers for the night. The Season 2 premiere of "Homeland" attracted 5.2 million viewers across all platforms, a series high and the best performance for a sophomore series on Showtime.
"The Emmy wins for 'Homeland' have certainly set the stage for a great second season," said Nevins in a statement. "The writers, cast and crew of 'Homeland' continue to create a remarkably entertaining and suspenseful roller coaster ride, growing audiences week after week. We can't wait for our viewers to experience what unfolds through the rest of Season 2. Our partners at Fox 21 have been tremendous, and we are thrilled to begin the planning for 'Homeland's' third season."
"Homeland" last month earned six Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series.
Claire Danes stars in the show as Carrie Mathison, a CIA officer battling her own demons, who is convinced the intelligence that led to the rescue of Damian Lewis' character Nicholas Brody, a U.S. soldier who had been missing and presumed dead for eight years, was a setup and may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil, a Showtime synopsis said. The series also stars Mandy Patinkin, Morena Baccarin, David Harewood, Diego Klattenhoff, Jackson Pace, Morgan Saylor, Jamey Sheridan, David Marciano and Navid Negahban.

The Blugolds (3-2, 1-1 WIAC) and Pioneers (3-2, 1-1 WIAC) hung right with each other in the first quarter but Platteville took a big lead in the second quarter after scoring three touchdowns.
While the Blugolds opened the game with the ball, the drive went only 28 yards in eight plays and the Blugolds were forced to punt. Platteville then scored on its opening possession, traveling 94 yards on 17 plays, for the seven-point lead.
The Blugolds got a little spark after the Pioneers fumbled a punt following the Blugolds' next possession and Eau Claire recovered on Platteville's 45 yard line. Three plays after the recovery, all rushes by Joel Sweeney (Fr.-Tomah, Wis.), the freshman found the end zone following a 19-yard run. Brandon Raciborski (Sr.-Eau Claire, Wis./Memorial) added the extra point to tie the game up at 7-7.
It was all Pioneers in the second quarter. Platteville scored on all three of its possessions to push the lead to 28-7 by the end of the quarter. The Blugolds had an opportunity to score just seconds before the half, but after the Blugolds were unable to get the ball into the end zone, Raciborski came in to attempt a 19-yard field goal. Unfortunately for the Blugolds, the kick went wide right to make the halftime score 28-7.
Platteville came out strong in the second half and scored on its opening drive. The touchdown was scored by Lee Vlasak, his fifth rushing touchdown of the game, tying for the second most in a game in conference history.
The Blugolds answered on their next possession after a Sweeney rushing touchdown from eight yards out and Raciborski again added the extra point to make the score 35-14. Neither team was able to score again the rest of the way.
While Sweeney had a good game rushing with 114 yards on 19 carries, the Blugolds' passing game struggled. Austin Neu (So.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford) finished with 152 yards on 15-for-31 passing but it was not until four minutes before halftime when the Blugolds completed their first pass. The Blugolds also struggled protecting their quarterback as Platteville recorded five sacks on the day.
On defense, Andy Neumann (Jr.-Germantown, Wis.) and Brad Nierenhausen (Sr.-Cottage Grove, Minn./Park) each recorded nine tackles (six solo and three assists) to lead the game. Coltan Ellis (Fr.-Rice Lake, Wis.) finished with a fumble recovery, which helped lead to the Blugolds' first touchdown.
The Blugolds will try to bounce back next Saturday when No. 1-ranked UW-Whitewater comes to Carson Park, where the Blugolds are undefeated this season. Action is set to get underway at 3 p.m.

Sanchez back at Jets starting quarterback
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Mark Sanchez has been returned to the starting position at quarterback for the New York Jets' final game of 2012, Jets Coach Rex Ryan said Thursday.
Sanchez replaces Greg McElroy, who suffered a concussion in last week's game. McElroy had taken over as the starting quarterback from Sanchez after a Dec. 16 loss that eliminated New York from playoff contention.
Both changes bypassed second-team quarterback Tim Tebow.
Sanchez has completed 229-of-418 passes for 2,678 yards with 13 touchdowns and 17 interceptions this season. However, he had seven interceptions and lost two fumbles while passing for one touchdown in the three games before he was benched.
McElroy was 19-of-31 passing for 214 yards in a 27-17 loss Sunday to San Diego.
The Jets are 6-9 this season and in third place in the AFC East. They close the season Sunday in Buffalo (5-10).
NFL calls off Richard Sherman suspension
SEATTLE, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said Thursday his appeal against an NFL doping allegation was upheld and his suspension rescinded.
The Seahawks were informed in November that Sherman and fellow Seattle cornerback Brandon Browner had tested positive for the banned stimulant Adderall and were to be suspended for four games.
Sherman appealed, claiming a leaking cup caused his sample to be contaminated. His suspension was put off during the appeal process.
On Thursday, Sherman, who went to New York last week as part of the appeal process, posted on his Twitter account that he wouldn't be suspended.
"Thank you @nfl for upholding the truth!" the tweet said. "To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord."
Browner accepted the original punishment and the final game of his suspension will be Sunday.
He will be eligible to return in the Seahawks' first playoff game.
Seattle locked up a playoff spot last Sunday with a 42-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks regular-season final game is Sunday in Seattle against the St. Louis Rams.
Southern Cal's Barkley out for Sun Bowl
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley will miss the Trojans' Sun Bowl appearance because of a shoulder injury, Coach Lane Kiffin said Thursday.
Barkley, a senior, was injured during USC's 38-28 loss to UCLA Nov. 17. He missed the Trojans' final regular-season game against Notre Dame, in which the No. 1-ranked Fighting Irish wrapped up a perfect regular season with a 22-13 win.
Freshman Max Wittek replaced Barkley against Notre Dame and Kiffin said Wittek would start at quarterback in the Sun Bowl Monday against Georgia Tech.
"I've worked as hard as I could to get back for this game and nature is not allowing it," Barkley said Thursday.
Barkley is considered one of the top quarterback prospects heading into the 2013 NFL draft.
Nets fire Coach Avery Johnson
NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Avery Johnson was fired Thursday as coach of the Brooklyn Nets, team officials said.
Nets General Manager Billy King said the search for a new coach would begin immediately.
"The Nets ownership would like to express thanks to Avery for his efforts and to wish him every success in the future," said Brooklyn Nets principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
Johnson was in his third season as the Nets' coach. The team was a combined 46-102 in his first two seasons.
The Nets, in the first season at their new home in New York after 45 years in New Jersey as members of the ABA and then the NBA, are 14-14 overall but 3-7 in their last 10 games.
Johnson previously coached Dallas for more than three seasons, helping the Mavericks to the NBA Finals in 2006. His overall coaching record is 254-186.

(Silver Spring, Md.) - Next month, Science Channel will premiere STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW - a new genre-bending television series about a real podcast that's set in a fictional world. Let us explain... Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant are two real guys - uber-popular podcasters and actual Discovery Communications employees. Their podcast, also called Stuff You Should Know, is in the top ten on iTunes with more than five million monthly downloads. On January 19, at 10:00 PM ET/PT, Science Channel will follow Josh and Chuck inside and outside the recording booth with STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW, a series that combines all the delicious informational nuggets of their podcast and wraps them in deadpan mockumentary-style humor.

Each half-hour episode takes place at HowStuffWorks, a podcast factory where Josh and Chuck tackle modern life and corporate culture while also juggling their insatiable thirst for peculiar knowledge and wacky curiosities. The actual podcasts - which discuss topics from zombies to artificial intelligence to alien hand syndrome - are woven into each plot where scientific facts collide with Josh and Chuck's sublimely ridiculous adventures. STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW is a totally unique and highly entertaining series blending cerebral wit and sarcasm with illuminating insights on addictively buzzable subjects.
"STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW is a different television experience. It's a novel combination of sticky, fascinating information and smart, provocative humor," said Debbie Adler Myers, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Science Channel. "We're bringing Josh and Chuck to the masses, including their legions of podcast followers and those who will meet them for the first time on Science Channel. From television, to podcasts, to online, to short-form; STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW is an enormously entertaining and immersive 360 degree experience"

Full series description below:
Episode 1: BRAINS GONE WILD
Premieres Saturday, January 19 at 10PM ET/PT
In the premiere episode, Josh and Chuck's boss, Steve, brings a man who suffers from alien hand syndrome to the office for the guys to do a podcast about him. The man's hand has a grudge against Josh, and Josh suspects all is not what it seems. In their podcast, Josh and Chuck discuss brain anomalies including alien hands, split brains and dual personalities.
Episode 2: THE CSI EFFECT
Premieres Saturday, January 19 at 10:30PM ET/PT
In episode two, in preparation for their podcast on forensics, Steve sets up a ride-along for Josh and Chuck with the Atlanta police department. As Josh and Chuck shed their staunchly-held beliefs based on TV series, the yin-and-yang duo of Detectives Johnson and Hillburn open their eyes to the realities of life on the force. The guys focus on forensics and the "science in the service of justice" for their podcast.
Other episodes include:
Construction in the office stirs up a bee colony living inside a wall, and we find out the hard way that Chuck is allergic to bees. Steve is inspired to adopt the bee colony managerial style, with herself as queen. For their podcast Josh and Chuck discuss bee colonies, hive intelligence, social order, colony collapse and allergies.
When the star pitcher of their office softball team is injured, Josh and Chuck do some homespun experiments in cloud seeding in hopes of causing a rain-out. Josh and Chuck use their podcast to talk about weather modification, from air conditioning to cloud seeding and hurricane steering during peacetime and war.
In episode five, news reports of flesh-eating bacteria at Chuck's gym threaten to derail his new workout routine, but Steve sees the situation as an opportunity to investigate a local story. As an illness befalls the office, Steve suspects bacteria from Chuck's gym, and sequesters Josh, Chuck and Jeri until they have been inspected by a most unusual doctor. During their podcast the guys discuss necrotizing fasciitis, antibiotics and the concept of super-bacteria as well as bionic bacteria that eat oil spills or track E. coli in food.
When corporate office promotes a company-wide time capsule initiative, the office is excited. While some people contribute thoughtful tokens to represent these times, Josh and Chuck concoct a plan to contact future time travelers. With some help from world-renowned physicist Michio Kaku, Josh is convinced they have a foolproof plan. The guys discuss the prospects of time travel, how time works, the speed of light, paradoxes and communicating with future man during their podcast.
Josh and Chuck notice that a rival podcast has recently covered four of the topics they have discussed, leading them to wonder if this is more than a coincidence. Fellow office podcasters, The Conspiracy Guys, get involved, and Josh and Chuck begin to suspect Jeri of betraying them. This leads to the guys talking about spy recruitment, gadgets, double agents and misinformation campaigns for their podcast.
One of Josh and Chuck's colleagues, Kent, begins suffering from extreme sleepwalking. Josh and Chuck do a series of studies in an effort to help understand and cure him of his sleepwalking. During their research the guys discover Kent has been violating Steve's office in his sleep. For their podcast Josh and Chuck discuss the complex things people can do while sleepwalking, only to wake up not remembering anything, sleep hacks to ensure you get optimal sleep, and what happens when you don't get enough sleep.
In episode nine, Steve holds a trivia competition to decide which podcasters win a VIP tour of a design facility for space travel. Josh learns that elusive SpaceX owner Elon Musk will be present and the tour turns into a competitive event between Chuck and John Hodgman. The guys discuss in their podcast the struggles of NASA and the decision to move forward on the privatization of space travel. The main focus is the future of space travel, colonization and what it could mean for humanity.
In the final episode, the series goes back to the beginning when the new boss, Steve, is introduced and brings a high-tech coffee machine with her to the office. It doesn't take long for the staff to discover that the coffee machine appears to have a mind of its own. Josh and Chuck use the opportunity to talk about technological singularity (greater than human intelligence through technological means), the emotional lives of robots, and the future of humanity during their podcast.

The historic Morristown Green was established by the town's first Presbyterian settlers who came from England in 1715. Large, older homes on tree-lined streets, numerous houses of worship, national historic sites and desirable schools are among Morristown's attractions.
Top name entertainment at The Community Theatre at Mayo Center for the Performing Arts, a three-level library, multi-screen movie theater, eclectic shopping and dining, and the highly rated Morristown Memorial Hospital are just a few of the in-town amenities.Back to top
Morristown was originally called New Hanover when it was settled around 1715 by English Presbyterians from Long Island and Connecticut. The town became the seat of Morris County shortly after its separation from Hunterdon County in 1739. Both the village and county were named for Lewis Morris, the first royal governor of the united colony of New Jersey.
George Washington and the Continental Army were encamped near Morristown from January to May, 1777. Washington had his first headquarters at Jacob Arnold's Tavern located on the western side of Morristown Green, and made his second headquarters at the Ford Mansion on the edge of town. Washington selected Morristown for its strategic location, proximity to New York City, defensible terrain, important communication routes and a supportive local community.
During what was termed the Hard Winter of 1779-1780, Washington and his army endured blizzards, food shortages and a rebellion, conditions that made it worse than Valley Forge. These situations were compounded by extreme inflation of money and lack of pay for the army. The National Park Service at Morristown National Historical Park preserves sites in the Morristown area occupied by the Continental Army and interprets the history and subsequent commemoration of these encampments and the extraordinary fortitude of the officers and enlisted men under Washington's leadership.
In the following century, Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail built the first telegraph at the Speedwell Ironworks in Morristown on January 6, 1838. The first public demonstration of the invention occurred eleven days later, continuing the progress of the Industrial Age.
Thomas Nast, who resided in an elegant Morristown antique home at 50 MacCulloch Avenue for 30 years, was the political cartoonist responsible for modern day images of Santa Claus and Uncle Sam. His classic version of Santa Claus was drawn in 1863 for Harper's Weekly. Before then, most depictions of Santa Claus showed a tall, thin man, and Nast drew him as the bearded, rotund image popular today. He also rendered the Republican Party's Elephant, the Democratic Party's Donkey, and embellished Uncle Sam with a goatee.
MacCulloch Hall Historical Museum and Garden across the street from Thomas Nast's house is located in the Morristown Historic District. This Federal-style brick mansion was built in 1810 for George MacCulloch, a Scottish businessman and scholar. MacCulloch is probably best known as the "father of the Morris Canal," an engineering marvel in its time. Today the museum has three exhibit galleries within ten period rooms furnished with fine English and American decorative arts. The museum offers an ever-changing schedule of exhibits, lectures and programs.Back to top
Morristown shares the Morris School District with surrounding Morris Township. It has three schools for kindergarten through grade two, three schools for grades three through five, Frelinghuysen Middle School for grades six to eight, and Morristown High School, which is also attended by students from nearby Morris Plains.
Morristown High School offers advanced placement courses in English, history, the sciences, mathematics and foreign languages. Among its many amenities are television and radio studios and an indoor swimming pool. American poet and author Joyce Kilmer taught at the high school during the 1908-09 school year.
Local private schools include the kindergarten through grade eight Peck School, Morristown-Beard School for grades six to 12; the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic school for nursery through grade eight, and the Montessori Children's House for pre-kindergarten to grade six. In addition, Villa Walsh Academy, a Catholic college preparatory school for girls in grades seven to 12 and conducted by the Religious Teachers Filippini, is located in Morristown.Back to top
New Jersey Transit's Midtown Direct rail service provides a one-way trip into Penn Station in about an hour. There are two Morristown exits off Interstate 287, and Routes 202 and 124 (South Street) run through town. Nearby are Routes 24, 10 and Interstate 80

Real Estate
Traditional homes on shaded streets include beautifully restored examples of Federal, Italianate, Greek Revival, and Victorian styles. These antique homes in Morristown add charm and character to the streetscape, particularly in the Morristown historic district.
In 1973, the State and National Registers of Historic Places designated a historic district in Morristown featuring homes located on all or portions of the Green Street, South Street, DeHart Street, Elm Street, Wetmore Street, Madison Street, Pine Street; MacCulloch Avenue, Maple Avenue, Colles Avenue; Farragut Place and South Park Place. The Morristown Historic District was further expanded in 1981 to include all or portions of Colles, Ford, MacCulloch, Maple, Mount Kemble, Speedwell, Western and Wetmore Avenues; Altamont Court; Catherine Lane; Blachley, Farragut, Franklin, King, Ogden, Park and Schuyler Places; Miller Road; Ann, Court, Elm, Green, High, Hill, James, King, Madison, Market, Morris, Oak, Pine, Prospect, South and Washington Streets. This expansive historic district displays fine old residences that are among the best of the best when it comes to Morristown historic homes.
There are also single-family homes in every imaginable architectural style of the past 200 years, from Colonial to mid-century modern and beyond. Recently-constructed townhomes and condominiums have appeared in nearly every corner of town, and all residents appreciate being close to shops, restaurants and conveniences in this lovely village.Back to top
Local Attractions
The Green: Morristown's bustling Green has been the town's focal point for over 250 years. As today's professionals stroll through the Green on their lunch hour, it's interesting to note that the park was an animal pasture in the 1700s. It was also a training ground for the local militia, and in 1755 a log cabin on the Green was the town's courthouse and jail. The Civil War monument at the Green's northeast corner was erected in 1871. Entitled "Soldier at Rest," it honors the men who lost their lives in the Civil War from 1861-1865. George Washington's statue, along with those of Alexander Hamilton and the Marquis de Lafayette, were unveiled during a $1 million renovation and improvement project in 2007 which restored plantings, refurbished walks and benches and added historical perspective to this two-and-a-half acre park.
Morristown National Historical Park: The Ford Mansion, Jockey Hollow and Fort Nonsense are all managed by the National Park Service. The park has the honor of being the first National Historical Park established in the United States.
Just south of the historic district on Washington Place is the three-acre Washington Headquarters site, with its Headquarters Museum housing Revolutionary War relics, and the Ford Mansion, an historic Morristown home where Washington wintered in 1777 and 1780 while his troops were camped in nearby Jockey Hollow in Harding Township. The park and Jockey Hollow are two of four Morristown area historic sites administered by the National Park Service. The others are the New Jersey Brigade Encampment in Bernardsville and the 20-acre Fort Nonsense site, off Ann Street in Morristown, where the Continental Army built earthen fortifications (which they regarded as busywork) in 1780.
Historic Speedwell: The 7.5-acre Historic Speedwell Village off Speedwell Avenue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the site of the 19th-century Speedwell Iron Works. This is the place where the telegraph was perfected by Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail in 1838.
Fosterfields: As the first living historical farm in New Jersey, Fosterfields uses the same tools, techniques and materials as those found in a late 1800s era farm. Providing a fascinating look at Victorian life, the farm was originally owned by General Joseph Warren Revere, Paul Revere's grandson. The general built the Willows in the mid-1800s, a wonderful example of a Morristown historic house designed in the Gothic Revival style.
Frelinghuysen Arboretum: The centerpiece of the arboretum's 127 acres is the circa 1891 Colonial Revival is a grand Morristown antique home built as a summer retreat and working farm for George and Sara Frelinghuysen. The couple's only daughter, Matilda, began plans for turning the estate into an arboretum. Upon her death in 1964, the land and house was bequeathed to the people of Morris County for use as a public arboretum. The Frelinghuysen Arboretum was dedicated in 1971.
The Morris Museum: Located at 6 Normandy Heights Road, the museum was founded in 1913 to explore and celebrate the arts, sciences and humanities through exhibitions, educational programs, performing arts and special events. It also houses the Bickford Theatre.
Fun Fact: The Seeing Eye, a guide dog school for the visually-impaired, is based in Morristown. The dogs and their trainers are a common sight along Morristown's streets.Back to top

Two strangers kicked in the front door of a home at Simmons Cay Apartments and robbed a man and his family at gunpoint shortly before 1 a.m. Monday, the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office reported.
The 23-year-old man living at the complex at on Simmonsville Road told deputies he and his family were asleep when they were awakened by the door being kicked in.
"The two suspects entered the victim's bedroom, brandished a handgun, and demanded money. After taking the victim's wallet, the suspects ransacked the other bedrooms of the apartment before fleeing the area," Sgt. Robin McIntosh said.
"No injuries were reported as a result of the robbery, and damage was contained to the apartment's front door."
Both suspects were described as white men with black hair.
One suspect was about 6 feet tall and wearing a long-sleeve white T-shirt, camouflage pants, and a white mask covering the lower portion of his face. The second suspect was described as being about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and wearing a black T-shirt over a long-sleeve white shirt, dark pants, and a white mask on the lower portion of his face.
The Sheriff's Office asked that anyone with information contact either Investigator Cpl. J. Moran at 255-3422 or the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 524-2777.

Iraq Intelligence
August 2007's National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq
A new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on the prospects for stability in Iraq concludes that while the security situation there has improved somewhat, the level of violence remains high, al Qaida in Iraq is still able to mount major attacks, Iraqi security forces are still unable to operate without American help and "to date, Iraq's political leaders remain unable to govern effectively".
A summary of the report by all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency, made public Thursday warns that "the Iraqi government will become more precarious over the next six to 12 months because of criticism by other members of the major Shia coalition . . . and other Sunni and Kurdish parties."
The report also suggests that the current U.S. tactic of recruiting local Sunni Muslim tribes to battle al Qaida in Iraq "could pose risks to the Iraqi Government". "Such initiatives, if not fully exploited by the Iraqi Government, could over time also shift greater power to the regions, undermine efforts to impose central authority, and reinvigorate armed opposition to the Baghdad government," the report says.

NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Six New Jerseyans caught in the George Washington Bridge traffic jams, filed a class-action suit against Gov. Chris Christie, saying he took away their liberty.
The class-action complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Newark, says six people who live in Fort Lee and nearby towns were "deprived of life, liberty and property for several hours" due to roadblocks thrown up near the bridge from Sept. 9 to Sept. 13, attorney Rosemarie Arnold said.
Emails and text messages between Christie Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Anne Kelly and two top officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the bridge, indicate the lanes were shut down deliberately to create auto gridlock in the town across the Hudson River from New York City.
The communications indicate Port Authority official David Wildstein imposed the traffic jams to punish Fort Lee's Democratic mayor for not endorsing Republican Christie for re-election.
The lawsuit calls the alleged scheme a "conspiracy" and "willful, wanton, arbitrary and egregious official misconduct," the Record of Hackensack reported.
The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on the grounds the roadblocks violated their constitutional rights to due process and freedom of movement.
As a class-action case, the suit can include "any and all individuals and business owners" inconvenienced or hurt by the lane closures, the complaint states.
Named as defendants besides Christie are Kelly, who Christie fired Thursday, Wildstein, former Port Authority official Bill Baroni, the Port Authority itself and the state of New Jersey.
Wildstein and Baroni, who were both recommended to the port positions by Christie, resigned in December after port officials testified in a legislative hearing the men had sought to hide their plans for the lane closings from Fort Lee officials, police and even other Port Authority officials.
Christie apologized Thursday for the closures, saying he was blindsided by the news. He said his staff didn't tell him about why the lanes were closed.
Before the release of the emails and texts, Christie dismissed allegations anyone in his administration was involved in the decision to close the bridge lanes.
"The defendants in this case were looking to do some serious damage to the residents of Fort Lee. By crippling the town on the first day of school, that's exactly what they accomplished and that's what they're getting sued for," Arnold said.
None of the defendants had any immediate comment on the lawsuit.

- Tour de France, Stage 19
Masterful Wiggins set to be crowned champion
Bradley Wiggins, barring a disaster, will head to Paris as the first Briton to win the Tour de France after a devastating performance saw him power to glory in the individual time-trial on the penultimate stage of this year's race.
The Team Sky Rider, who consolidated his grip on the yellow jersey with a strong showing in the final mountain trip on Thursday, won his second stage with a dominating ride in the 53.5km individual time-trial from Bonneval to Chartres.
Holding a comfortable lead of two minutes and five seconds over Sky team-mate Chris Froome at the start of Stage 19, Wiggins - whose best finish in the Tour to date is fourth - crossed the line in one hour, four minutes and 13 seconds, a massive 1:16 better off than second-placed Froome.
Wiggins' margin of victory means his advantage over fellow Brit Froome in the General Classification now stands at 3:21, with Italian Vincenzo Nibali sitting in third place, 6:19 behind leader Wiggins.
With the final stage effectively a procession to the finish on the Champs-Elysees, Wiggins will win the 99th edition of the race if he manages to avoid a crash in Sunday's 120-kilometre final stage.
Team Sky principal Dave Brailsford lauded Wiggins' achievement, saying: "It is a very proud moment. Bar anything silly we can start thinking about winning this race now. This is a fantastic team and I am very proud right now.
"I would never have said we could do it if I didn't believe that. We had done our homework, we knew what Bradley was capable of and what the British team is capable of. Today is all about Bradley and what a fantastic champion."
Elsewhere, Cadel Evans' struggles continued, the defending champion finishing outside the top 50 to fall to seventh position in the overall standings.

MasterBar Coaching
Straight out of university i have been working in the bar industry for quite a few years. My business idea involves coaching and training for bar venues wishing to expand and capitalize on their venue. With my Bachelor of business Marketing degree i believe its an area that my skills will be best suited at!
Basically my market will involve management from bar and hospitality venues which are already well established but are experiencing revenue issues. Much like a sports coach i will have an option of one on one consultancy as well as myself physically assessing the venue itself. I believe it is a relative new market because most training programs for bar venues only train and teach staff. However i believe for a venue to truly change upper management need to change, therefore i think this is a new niche market in the industry.
I am looking for a logo to represent my business - MasterBar Coaching.
I would like a modern yet funky design to represent this business because i am creating my own niche market.
Feel free to to use the words 'MasterBar Coaching' in the design or just a logo to represent it or both. I am very open to suggestion with colors but i would the title readable and modern and the symbol to be funky and creative. If the words 'MasterBar Coaching' are used please note to capitalize to the M, B and C in the name.
My slogan for the business will read - 'Overcoming the profit hangover' - i do not wish for this too be included in the design however i am just re enforcing that this is a creative and modern business idea!
The files i will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Ravens starting inside linebacker Jameel McClain is still consulting with doctors after ending the season on injured reserve with a spinal cord contusion.
The outlook for McClain to resume playing football remains "positive," according to two league sources with knowledge of the situation.
"All is progressing well with Jameel," one source told The Baltimore Sun. "The injury requires rest."
During a season-ending news conference, Ravens coach John Harbaugh expressed hope that McClain will return, saying, "We're very optimistic about that."
McClain recently indicated that doctors are taking a cautious approach with him and that he'll undergo another magnetic resonance imaging exam.
McClain remains optimistic that he'll eventually be cleared medically to play football again, adding that he's no longer feeling any pain in his back and neck since getting hurt Dec. 9 in an overtime loss to the Washington Redskins.
"Absolutely, that's the goal," McClain said during the Super Bowl in New Orleans. "It's a process. We're going to take another MRI. What we're focusing on is rest. Right now, we're just taking it slow and resting. The doctors talk about what they talk about, but the goal is to be playing next year."
McClain signed a three-year, $10.5 million contract last spring that included a $3.6 million signing bonus with a $3 million base salary for 2013 and a corresponding $4.2 million salary-cap figure.
"I love this game," said McClain, who started 13 games and had 79 tackles to finish third on the defense last season. "I can't get away from it."

I grew up in apartheid South Africa, a really difficult but inspiring time. We relied on everything local as we had almost no exposure to anything international, due to sanctions. Fortunately things changed and when I was finally able to travel, I was blown away by what was available internationally, especially as far as design, art, music and fashion went. I became a "gypsy", travelling the world non-stop and absorbing everything that I had not been exposed to before. This is when my eye for beautiful things was opened and my interest in accessory design developed from grass bangles and handmade leather sandals to what it is today.
Having a passion for beautiful things, as well as an art and fashion background, I have found the perfect niche for my creativity in designing and making jewellery. I just LOVE it! Now, I am pleased to introduce you to my collection.

Code of Hammurabi
The Code of Hammurabi is a code of laws dating to 1790 BCE. As the name implies, the laws were written during the reign of King Hammurabi.
Though it is not the oldest collection of laws known, it predates the Bible by a wide margin.
The code is primarily concerned with setting out a just punishment for any given crime. It is from the code that we get the phrase "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

Artist Adam Magyar uses sophisticated software and high-speed camera rigs of his own design to capture beautifully haunting slow-motion footage of commuters, trains and passengers inside NYC's Grand Central Terminal.
Magyar compiled the footage into a 24-minute short film called Stainless. Josh Hammer describes the "long-running techno-art project" in a must-read profile on Magyar and his work, recently published over at Matter:
In a growing body of photographic and video art done over the past decade, Magyar bends conventional representations of time and space, stretching milliseconds into minutes, freezing moments with a resolution that the naked eye could never have perceived. His art evokes such variegated sources as Albert Einstein, Zen Buddhism, even the 1960s TV series The Twilight Zone. The images—sleek silver subway cars, solemn commuters lost in private worlds—are beautiful and elegant, but also produce feelings of disquiet. "These moments I capture are meaningless, there is no story in them, and if you can catch the core, the essence of being, you capture probably everything," Magyar says in one of the many cryptic comments about his work that reflect both their hypnotic appeal and their elusiveness. There is a sense of stepping into a different dimension, of inhabiting a space between stillness and movement, a time-warp world where the rules of physics don't apply.
Magyar's aesthetic is absolutely captivating; if you're into this style of art, you'll definitely want to read up on him and his work.

Let's try a new game
I write a name of a skating-related figure - skater, coach, choreographer, costume designer etc. The next person writes a name of a skater/coach they associate with the first one, with a comment on how they're associated. The "association" can be partnership (I say Torvill, you say Dean), a coach/choreographer relationship (I say Sarah Hughes, you say Robin Wagner), or anything else you can think of. If you're stumped, you can get creative - associate on shared music or signature elements, championships won or records beaten! The next person associates with that figure, and so on.
Let's start real easy:

Children had the opportunity two days ago to learn through interactive media - television and a public forum - about Prince Abdul-Qader, one of the leaders in the struggle against French occupation.
The Algerian Al-Yawm daily reports that the program, which aired on Egyptian Space Television, was called "Our Grandfathers & Grandsons," and was designed an educational show for children.
The program emphasized the contribution of Prince Abdul-Qader, an Algerian, who was known as "Our Grandfather" and an Egyptian hero.
Children who participated in the program were able to ask questions and the show's host would answer the questions, sometimes with the support of video clips. Prince Abdul-Qader was one of the major Algerian resistant figures to the occupation. This program is available through the digital transmission, Nile Sat 7 West.

COLUMBUS, OHIO (Jan. 23, 2013) – The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) today approved the results of FirstEnergy's sixth wholesale auction that will ultimately determine its retail generation service rates through May 2016.
During the 17-round auction, held Jan. 22, 2013, four competitive suppliers submitted winning bids for the opportunity to provide electricity to FirstEnergy customers. The auction resulted in an average clearing price of $0.05917 per kilowatt hour for the delivery period June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2016. The results will be blended with previous auctions, and four upcoming auctions to establish retail generation rates from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2016.
CRA International served as the independent auction manager, and Boston Pacific Company, a consultant retained by the PUCO, monitored the auction process. The names of the winning bidders will remain confidential for 21 days.
Customers continue to have the opportunity to consider competitive options to meet their electricity needs, including shopping for an alternate supplier or joining a local government aggregation group. More information about how to choose a supplier is available at www.PUCO.ohio.gov. The PUCO's Apples to Apples rate charts provide customers with a snapshot comparison of current electric supplier price options and contract terms. The PUCO updates the charts on a regular basis and verifies each supplier offer to ensure accuracy.

MOSCOW, July 3 (UPI) -- Libyan oil production is in decline because of complications associated with labor strikes at major oil fields, a national oil company said.
Libyan oil production has struggled to return to pre-revolution levels of 1.6 million barrels per day. Oil installations in the country have been attacked by militant groups and workers at two oil fields have gone on strike to oppose existing management.
The Libyan National Oil Co. said production was below the 1 million bpd mark because of post-conflict problems, the independent Libya Herald reported.
The decline comes as Libyan Oil Minister Abdulbari al-Arusi met Tuesday with directors of Russian energy companies during his visit to Moscow.
Russian energy company Gazprom in 2010, before the revolution, expressed interest in the Elephant oil field in Libya, which has estimated recoverable reserves of around 700 million barrels of oil.
The Herald reported Arusi met Tuesday with Gazprom directors on the sidelines of Moscow gas forum. Gazprom has not returned to Libya since the revolution.
The International Monetary Fund has warned the Libyan government the economy was vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices as well as security and political challenges.

About Holland Township
Holland Township in Hunterdon County has the rare distinction of being home to an authentic windmill soaring seven stories high in an open field. This local landmark is such a source of pride that it is seen on the municipal seal as well as those of the local police and fire departments. The windmill was formerly known as the Volendam Windmill Museum, and although the museum is currently closed, it's hard to miss on the grounds of Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree Farm at 231 Adamic Hill Road.
Measuring about 24 square miles, Holland Township is situated in the northwestern section of the county where it abuts the Delaware River and has the Musconetcong River running within its boundaries. Bordering towns include Milford Borough and Alexandria and Bethlehem Townships. The township is about 70 miles from Manhattan, 60 miles from Philadelphia and 55 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport.
With a population of approximately 5,200, Holland is a serene, picturesque area with scores of working farms. It was originally formed after breaking from Alexandria Township in 1874, briefly merging with Alexandria for a few years thereafter, and then becoming independent once again in 1879.
A small variety of shops and services are located in Holland Township, while a wider array of shopping, dining and cultural events are available locally in Milford, Frenchtown or across the Delaware River in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Community Life
Holland Township's Parks and Recreation Department is located in the Riegel Ridge Community Center at 910 Milford Warren Glen Road, welcoming residents from both the township itself and neighboring municipalities. The center offers a changing calendar of different programs for everyone from toddlers to seniors. It has a fitness center, outdoor swimming pool and handsome community space that can be rented for private functions.
Living in this rural township means residents can take advantage of acres of unspoiled parkland. A Green Acres boat launch along the Delaware River is perfect for kayakers or canoeing. The scenic tow path running along the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park is busy with people fishing, running, biking, and walking. Wildlife and natural beauty abound in the Musconetcong Gorge Nature Preserve, with challenging trails for experienced hikers.
Public school students from Holland remain in the township until high school. Holland Township School serves kindergarten to grade four; Holland Township Middle School is for grades five through eight. Both schools are under the same roof at 710 Milford-Warren Glen Road.
In high school, Holland students attend Delaware Valley Regional High School in neighboring Frenchtown. This school also takes students from Alexandria, Kingwood, Frenchtown and Milford. It is part of the Delaware Valley Regional High School District.
The closest major highway to Holland Township is Interstate 78. Local highways running through Holland include Routes 519, 614 and 627. About 18 miles east is a NJ Transit train station in Annandale for service to New York City, Newark or Hoboken. A New York-bound train takes about 100 minutes from Annandale. Alternately, bus service is available about 15 miles away in Clinton for a one-way trip of 90 minutes to Manhattan.
Real Estate
The township has a diverse and interesting stock of older and newer homes, and there are striking examples of custom-built residences. Many homeowners enjoy views of the hills, rivers and valleys' dominating much of Holland's rolling topography. Antique homes from the 18th and 19th centuries are dotted throughout the township, and some of the oldest examples are found along Old River Road facing the Delaware. Estate homes and equestrian farms are set on vast acres of picturesque land. There are a host of desirable residential neighborhoods, many dating to the 1950s, 60s and 70s, comprised of traditional home styles such as Cape Cods and Colonials sited on medium or smaller sized lots. Newer condominium and town house communities appeared in Holland during the 1990s.Back to top
Local Attractions
The Musconetcong Gorge Nature Preserve offers 379 wooded acres of steep and often rugged terrain along the Musconetcong River. This natural site is maintained by the Hunterdon County Parks and Recreational System. It is located at 182 Dennis Road.
Holland-Alexandria Free Public Library is located at 129 Spring Mills Road and is an association library, which means it isn't a county branch. Locals call it "the little library with the big heart." Recent programs and fundraisers have included puppet shows, reading programs, story hours, a craft day, photography exhibits and a wine tasting.
Jimmy's Ice Cream and Holey Moley Mini Golf has been a favorite summertime spot for over 50 years. This vintage roadside eatery just south of Holland Township's center on Route 519 serves up homemade ice cream and sandwiches before or after playing a round of miniature golf.
Oak Hill Golf Club was built in 1964 and has been called a "hidden gem" in Hunterdon County. This member-owned golf club is open seven days a week for members and their guests. The club is sited at 15 Fernwood Road.
Edelweiss Farm is home to exotic species like llamas, reindeer, emus, kangaroos and other fascinating animals. Its seasonal farm stand at 307 Adamic Hill Road is a popular site for locals and visitors alike.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry to kick off Colorado conservative summit
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential candidate for president in 2012, will be the keynote speaker at this yearŌĆÖs Western Conservative Summit.
Another presidential contender, Herman Cain, and Fox News Commentator Juan Williams also are the whoŌĆÖs who speaking list.
The event begins July 29 at the downtown Denver Marriott, which means, alas, not another replay of last yearŌĆÖs hilarious Lone Tree branding controversy. (More on that later.)
Among the questions that will be explored at the conference: Can Republicans and the Tea Party work together?
The theme for this yearŌĆÖs summit is ŌĆ£Fulfilling AmericaŌĆÖs Promise,ŌĆØ said John Andrews, president of the Centennial Institute, which is co-hosting the event. He drew comparisons between the late President Reagan and President Obama.
ŌĆ£Our president says America needs to be fundamentally transformed. Reagan, the hero of conservatives, said ŌĆśWeŌĆÖre that shining city on the hill, our best days are yet to come,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Andrews said. ŌĆ£The summit explores this crossroads.ŌĆØ
Perry will speak Friday night on July 29, with speakers and workshops scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, ending with a straw poll on the presidential race. For more on the event, click here.
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, now a presidential candidate, was the keynote speaker at last yearŌĆÖs first-ever summit. Andrews said he believes her appearance in Colorado helped shine her star.
Last yearŌĆÖs event was held at the Marriott South on Park Meadows Drive, which has a Littleton mailing address. But conference organizers continually used a Lone Tree dateline, and also asked summit participants to sign a Lone Tree Declaration, affirming "six tenets of who we are and what we stand for."
The city of Lone Tree was not amused after the Denver Post printed the six tenants and it received complaints from citizens. The city pointed out the conference wasnŌĆÖt even in Lone Tree, which inspired a great Andrews one-liner.
ŌĆ£Technically it's not, but to quote Tina Fey, 'We can see Lone Tree from the hotel,"' he said at the time.
Andrews said the conference this year was moved to Denver in part because of the size: They expected 300 attendees last year and got about 900.
But he also wasnŌĆÖt happy with the ŌĆ£get lostŌĆØ feeling he said he got from Lone Tree officials. ŌĆ£It just kind of wounded us. We said, ŌĆśOK, weŌĆÖll go somewhere else,ŌĆØ he said.
And just a warning to Lone Tree city officials: The Lone Tree Declaration is back, although it will be slightly revised.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre prepared that the chicken-little politicians of Lone Tree may feel the sky is falling but itŌĆÖs a risk weŌĆÖre willing to take,ŌĆØ Andrew said.
The new Lone Tree Declaration is still being tweaked. HereŌĆÖs some of what was in last yearŌĆÖs:
1. In our adherence to the self-evident truths of the American Founding, we are conservatives.
2. In our debt to the civilizational heritage of Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia, we are Westerners.
3. In our concern for the mounting threat to liberty, seeing freedom in the balance, we convene with solemn purpose at this Summit.
4. We seek a conservative renewal for our country through civic action that puts principle above party, resists the corruption of power, bridges intramural disagreements or rivalries, and protects an open public square centered on the nation's Judeo-Christian core.
5. We commit ourselves unswervingly to a political and social order that upholds individual freedom and personal responsibility, limited government and the rule of law, free enterprise and private property, traditional family values and sanctity of life, compassion for the poor and voluntarism in service to others, natural law and morality, strong defense and secure borders, all in keeping with the original intent of the Constitution.
6. We reject, and will resist, the socialist temptation, transnational progressivism, secular utopian illusions, appeasement, disarmament, or capitulation to jihad and sharia.

The company where I work is aiming to have a 10% maximum error margin.They expect analysts to not miss the estimate by more or less than 10%.
I don't know what to think about it, since I got nothing to compare it to.
What could be a good baseline to measure if we are estimating too wrong, for more or less? How much (in %) do you think is okay to to miss?

From 1992 until 2009, BMW design was led by Chris Bangle, one of the most controversial car designers of all time.
Under his watchful eye as Head of BMW Design, they had hits like the Z3, Z4, Z8, and new Mini. But it also produced some questionable cars like the 5-Series, 6-Series, Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the most controversial of all, the E65 7-Series, complete with a separate trunk dubbed the "Bangle Butt" and a concept called "flame surfacing."
Bangle was excoriated by BMW fans and the motoring press alike when these cars were produced. It was probably the first time that a designer not named Pininfarina became a household name... and it wasn't for the right reasons.
Well, Bangle was just presented with a "Lifetime Design Achievement Award" from Eyes On Design.
Does he deserve it? I think so.
Love or hate him, Bangle pushed the envelope and revolutionized the design of luxury cars. The cars that came under the second half of his tenure, from the 7-Series on, completely transformed luxury car design. Sure, they may have been radical, but with some fine tuning the design basics that he instituted are now industry standards.
But what do you think? Does Bangle deserve to be recognized or should he be shunned forever?
