— Ravens starting fullback Vonta Leach and offensive tackle Kelechi Osemele may have left Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with injuries, but they are expected be back on the field for the playoffs.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh indicated neither injury is regarded as serious enough to affect their availability for next weekend's AFC wild-card playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts at M&T Bank Stadium.
Leach left in the first quarter of the 23-17 loss after aggravating his sprained right ankle and was replaced by tight end Billy Bajema.
Osemele left the game in the second quarter to go to the locker room to have a lower-body injury examined. He said later, that he wasn't hurt badly. The Ravens shifted Michael Oher from left tackle to right tackle in place of Osemele and had Bryant McKinnie line up at left tackle.
"Injury-wise, there's nothing to speak of, of consequence," Harbaugh said. "The guys that came out, Vonta and Kelechi, should be fine for next week. I really don't have the diagnosis on [Leach], I just know he's going to be OK."
Meanwhile, the Ravens hope to be much healthier for the postseason after resting starters like wide receiver Anquan Boldin (bruised left shoulder) and strong safety Bernard Pollard (damaged ribs). Both emphasized that they could have played if needed Sunday.
"That's what we were looking to do, get guys rested so we can have all hands on deck next week," Boldin said. "If it was one of those bigger games, I definitely could have played."
Pollard missed his third consecutive game after hurting his ribs again during an overtime loss to the Washington Redskins.
"I could have went," said Pollard, who practiced last week and was probable on the injury report. "Just being smart."
Pollard is excited about the prospects of having a healthier team for the playoffs, especially on defense where the Ravens are hoping to have Pollard, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs (torn right biceps) and middle linebacker Ray Lewis (right triceps surgery) back in the lineup.
"This is the first time we get a chance to get our defense back, we're excited and ready to roll," Pollard said. "We look at this as a chance to show our fans, show our coaches, show the city and show the opposing team we're here to play. We got to show what we're made of."
Battling with Burfict
Bengals rookie linebacker Vontaze Burfict got into altercations with Ray Rice and offensive guard Bobbie Williams, triggering personal foul calls against the Ravens in each incident.
Rice roughly shoved Burfict to the ground in the first quarter, leading to an unnecessary roughness penalty. Rice said Burfict was talking a lot of trash.
"I told him he'll be a great player if he didn't talk so much," Rice said. "I got a personal foul messing with him. I don't know if it was that personal. I cut him and went back and I finished him off.
"He's going to be a good player. He's feisty, that's what I told him. You see a young guy like that and talent will only take you so far."
Burfict, who was undrafted, has become the Bengals' leading tackler and had a game-high 18 tackles Sunday, gloated afterward.
"[Rice] chopped me," he said. "I don't know what he tried to do, but he tried to take a cheap shot. That's football. At the end of the day, he got a personal foul and I didn't. Big man wins. The old Vontaze would have did exactly what he did, talked a little [stuff] and then walked off."
Williams said Burfict kicked him, leading him to retaliate in the second quarter to draw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
"He's just a young pup out there," Williams said. "Hey, it's football. He gave me a kick, it is what it is."

Not a New Way to Sell a Car....BUT??
Earlier this month, Kim Ridley of Eugene, Oregon wanted to sell his 1977 Datsun on eBay. And to give his listing a little extra juice, he figured he'd post SEXY PHOTOS of a WOMAN posing with his car.
--And the woman he recruited for the photos was . . . HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
--He did a photo shoot featuring his car and his 20-year-old daughter Lexxa . . . that's Lexxa with two x's, although once she switches to porno she'll probably add a third one.
Kim says, quote, "If I felt bad about it, I wouldn't do it." His Datsun ended up getting five bids and sold for $7,500.
Classy Dad, way to go!

Tiger & Rory Chit Chat
by Jeff Skinner
While Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were playing their two man exhibition in China they were wearing microphones and we got to hear Tiger and Rory talk to each other just like we do with our buddies as we play our round. No one should be shocked that there were a few F-bombs dropped between the two. This is how jocks talk, this is how men talk and plenty of women too. Anyone with an issue …get over it.
Back to The Black: Hurricane Style
by Jeff Skinner
What do you do when a hurricane is approaching and everyone one around you is preparing for 60 mph winds, ten inches of rain and everything else associated with a hurricane? If you're a normal person you hunker down with a few days of supplies, cross your fingers and hope that the worst doesn't hit you.
But if you're a golf addict with a bad jones for a round of golf you head out to the course. If you are really sick you head to a tough course. But if you are terminally ill with the golf obsession you head out to Bethpage Black. That's what I did on Sunday with three other mentally disturbed golfers.
I had been trying to get back on The Black for a few months but between our schedules, work, weather, aeration, early sundown and a half dozen other variables the best we could do was Sunday at 12:50. As Hurricane Sandy headed up to New York the four of us were confident we could play but we were certain to be soaked to the bone and we prepared accordingly.
Luckily, there were some less confident golfers who cancelled their tee times so before we left Sunday for the ride to Long Island I was able to trade up to a 12:05 time. After we showed up at Bethpage and checked in we were told to head right out to the first tee and we would probably go right off. Now that's about as rare as making a birdie on the 15th at The Black. Nobody ever birdies the 15th and no one ever "tees right off" at The Black.
Amazingly, that's just what happened. With a chance to get on the course earlier and therefore have no worries about the setting sun ending our round early, we passed on our warm up and headed to the starter's shack. And yes, due to a bunch of cancellations all we had to do was wait for one group on the tee to clear and we were off.
So we got our wish: playing The Black in cool, wet, windy conditions as Sandy approached. Playing The Black is no easy task. It is long and difficult and a chore even in the best of conditions but with a three club wind howling at us and no roll on a rain softened course we needed to have our head examined for taking on such a foolish challenge.
The four of us proceeded to hack our way around The Black and after a few holes we were warmed up enough to start making some pars. The weather was surprisingly accommodating as there was little rain and all we needed to battle was the wind and of course Mr. Tillinghast's creation.
Two of my group were playing The Black for the first time and they wouldn't have missed the chance for anything. If the course is open, we are playing was their rallying cry and a little rain or a hurricane wasn't going to deter them.
The four off us took the weather as a challenge and tried to appreciate the fact that we were playing one of the toughest courses in the nation and doing it under the toughest of conditions. We were golfers and real golfers don't care about the elements. Our scores reflected the challenge but all of us were glad we made the choice to test The Black on the toughest of days. And a tip of the cap to all those golfers that braved Sandy's winds to walk The Black: we weren't the only fools out there.
This was my second excursion on The Black and on the first trip we were treated to a tornado that left the area without power for a week. So maybe the golf gods are trying to tell me something; first a tornado, then a hurricane. What's next a tsunami?
But I know even if there was a forecast for a tsunami or an earthquake or whatever I would probably be right there again, alongside all those other addicts, walking The Black. After all, this addiction is incurable and The Black is…well, The Black.

Big Weekend for The Top 25
by Jeff Skinner
It was a big weekend for many golfers as all the tour's had some kind of tournament going on. Suzann Pettersen won for the second consecutive week on the LPGA Tour and Nick Watney earned his second win of 2012 at the CIMB Classic. Peter Hanson edged Rory McIlroy at the European Tour's BMW Masters and David Frost topped Bernhard Langer at the Champions Tour's AT&T Championship.
All were deserving champions but none of those tournaments will have the long range effect on their champions as the 25 winners on the Web.com Tour this past weekend.
Yes, I said 25 winners because the Web.com Tour Championship is home to one of the best Sundays of the golf season. After toiling all season trying to pile up that hard earned cash the top 25 money winners on the Web.com Tour qualify for tour cards to the PGA Tour for the 2013 season.
The top 25 on the web.com Tour are handed their PGA Tour Cards in a ceremony after the Tour Championship and it has to be one of the best moments of the golf season. There are some familiar faces coming back to the big leagues and a new crop of twenty-somethings making their tour debut.
It isn't winning a major championship and actually some of the top 25 haven't even won on the Web.com Tour but earning a spot on the PGA Tour is a life changing event for all the 25 be they new members or older veterans returning to the tour. It's simply one of the best Sundays on any tour.

Plenty of Golf & A Few Tricks
by Jeff Skinner
The calendar may say November but to look at all the golf being played this week you would think it's the middle of July. Asia is the hot spot this week as three different tours try to reap some riches from golf crazy Asia.
The PGA Tour is in Malaysia as Tiger Woods and 47 other golfers tee it up in Kuala Lumpur at the CIMB Classic. Click here for scores.
The European Tour continues its Race to Dubai with a detour through China. Rory McIlroy and ten of his Ryder Cup teammates are among the field in Shanghai at the BMW Masters. Only Sergio Garcia took a pass. Click here for scores.
The Asian party continues on the LPGA Tour as Yani Tseng defends in her homeland of Taiwan at the Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. Click here for scores.
Back on U.S. soil, The Champions Tour is down in Texas at the AT&T Championship. Click for scores.
And maybe the most important tournament of the week is being played in another part of Texas at The Web.com Tour Championship where on Sunday evening 25 players will be handed PGA Tour playing cards for the 2013 season. Click for scores.
And let's not forget all the Q-School action going on. The first stage is being played this week and The Golf Channel is tracking all fourteen sites. Click here.
But if that isn't enough golf for you, or maybe it's too much, just check out the video below as Ian Poulter gets some tips on a few trick shots from golf trick shot artist Geoff Swain. (Tip of the visor to Shane bacon and his Eye on Golf Blog.)
Going Gangnam Style With Jesper Parnevik
by Jeff Skinner
Have you ever wondered what professional golfers do when they're not playing or jetting around the world? Well, it looks like Jesper Parnevik likes to dance, and not just any style of dance but he does it Gangnam Style. Now for those poor souls that have no idea what "Gangnam Style" is, according to Wikipedia it "refers to a lifestyle associated with the Gangman district of Seoul, South Korea."
Now, I have it on good authority the key to doing it Gangnam Style is to "dress classy, dance cheesy." So here's Jesper and his crew, which includes Dustin Johnson, Richard Johnson, Will MacKenzie, Fredik Jacobson, Marc Turnesa and some friends doing it Gangnam Style. This video was a birthday gift to his friend Brenda. It's a riot.
Preview: Tiger Woods & Friends at The CIMB Classic
Different Strokes for Different Folks
by Jeff Skinner
With Tommy Two Gloves Gainey showcasing his homemade swing as he hacked his way to victory at The McGladrey Classic the boys over at The Golf Channel got to thinking "Who has the most unorthodox swing in the game?"
Ryan Lavner posed that question to a few of his colleagues at The Golf Channel and as expected there wasn't a consensus but rather four different candidates possessing their own unique way of getting the ball in the hole.
With Tommy Two Gloves' sizzling 60 still fresh in his mind, Jason Sobel stuck with the latest winner on the PGA Tour. "Whatever your descriptive terminology preference, it's clear to see that Gainey is unconventional in the best way. He uses a true baseball grip, bends more at the waist than any instructor would recommend and dips his head like an 18-handicap. He lists his brother as his lone swing coach, perhaps because no one else could teach that move, let alone help him maintain it."
Rex Hoggard cast his ballot for Bubba Watson's swing that gives him the long driving title and at the same time has more curves than Beyonce. No golfer works the ball like Bubba who plays a twenty to thirty yard draw or fade depending on what shot he feels like at the moment. "Watson's swing is long and loose and virtually uncoachable. In the wake of his Masters victory in April numerous swing coaches said they wouldn't take on Watson as a student because, as one coach said, "there is no way to teach that."
Ryan Lavner's pick is old reliable Jim Furyk. David Feherty once said Furyk's swing looked like an octopus falling out of a tree and he wasn't far off. But like all our candidates it's repeatable, for him at least, and it has served him well. "Furyk's hands are so low, it looks like he's trying to receive a snap under center. His downswing looks like he's trying to slap a hockey puck. His lower-body action looks like he's trying to hula-hoop." Whatever it looks like it has earned him over $52 million on tour and there are plenty of classic swings who can't come close to Furyk.
Randell Mell went off the reservation for his pick and chose the Web.com Tour player Josh Broadaway. If you're looking for unique, here it is. Want unorthodox, you got it. I thought Tommy Gainey was a shoe-in for this honor but after seeing Broadaway I have to agree with Mell. Josh Broadaway has one very different golf swing. He's a natural left handed player that still uses his left hand grip on a set of right handed clubs. He hits it cross handed and I don't know how he doesn't break his wrist. "A left-handed batter in youth baseball, Broadaway couldn't find left-handed clubs growing up, and so as a young boy he put his left-hander's grip on the right-handed clubs. He tried to change for a time to a conventional grip, but it never felt comfortable, so he went back. Broadaway, 34, was good enough cross-handed to Monday qualify for The Honda Classic last year and make the cut. He barely missed graduating to the PGA Tour last year, finishing 28th in money winnings on the now Web.com Tour, three spots short of a PGA Tour card. He's 75th in money this year but still determined to someday become the first player to win a major cross-handed."
Check out Broadaway's swing and be you'll be amazed at how relaxed and smooth it looks. This has to be the most unorthodox swing in the professional game.
No Tin Cup Here…Tommy Two Gloves Wins
by Jeff Skinner
It reads like a Hollywood script: an unknown golfer with a homemade swing and a catchy nickname comes from nowhere to do battle with the best golfers in the world. Only this time it wasn't a movie and the leading man didn't miss his chance at a life changing victory.
Unlike Roy McAvoy in Tin Cup, Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey shot the round of his life on Sunday to win his first PGA Tour event at the McGladrey Classic.
Gainey shot a course record and a personal best 60 over the Seaside Course at Sea Island, Georgia to come from seven shots off the lead to reach the pinnacle of his professional career. Gainey had to overtake a pair of seasoned veterans as host Davis Love III and his pal Jim Furyk started the day tied for the lead at -13. With Gainey at a distant -6 any chance at winning was a very, very long shot.
But Tommy Two Gloves' entire professional career has been a long shot. After turning pro in 1997 he spent years playing the mini tours and earning money on the golf course the old fashioned way. The South Carolina native became a mini tour legend in the south and had the good fortune to make his way onto the Golf Channel's Big Break not once but twice. He won his last appearance on the Big Break and in doing so became a bit of a cult hero.
After joining the PGA Tour in 2008 Gainey's contorted swing and southern charm garnered him an even bigger following and he quickly became a fan favorite. He lost his card in 2010 and spent that year on the Web.com Tour but earned his way back to the big leagues in 2011 and won an impressive $2.1 million finishing 30th on the money list.
But 2012 had been a difficult year for Gainey with injuries affecting him early on. In his first 18 tournaments this year he missed nine cuts and withdrew twice. But as he got healthier he made more cuts and on Sunday he rode his hot putter to the winner's circle. Click here for the recap.
After going out in 31 the talk of a possible 59 started but Gainey stayed focused, "I wasn't thinking about 59," Gainey said. "See, all I did all day was just try to make birdies – and a lot of birdies – because when you're seven shots back, your chances of winning a PGA tournament with the leaders, Davis Love III and Jim Furyk … it don't bide in your favor, man. I'm in this position, and man, it feels like I'm in a dream. I'm just waiting for somebody to slap me upside the head or pinch me or something to wake me up."
After he signed for his 60 he still had over two hours to kill while the leaders made their moves at him. But Love rinsed a ball and Furyk made a few poor swings coming down the stretch. David Toms was the real threat to Gainey as he birdied four holes late in the round and only needed a birdie on the last to tie Two Gloves. But an errant drive foiled his chances.
Gainey was on the range when Love and Furyk finished and couldn't believe that he had held on to win. "You got future Hall of Famers chasing me – chasing ME now," he said. "I'm Tommy Gainey. I'm `Two Gloves.' I shot 60 today and you got Jim Furyk, Davis Love III and David Toms chasing me. I mean, I was nervous. … I was paying attention, and you know, it just worked out for me."
"Oh, man," Gainey said. "I tell you, you're out here on the PGA Tour. You're playing with the best players in the world. Ninety-nine percent of these guys have already won, and won majors, big tournaments. The only show I can say I've won is the `Big Break.' Now I can sit here and say I've won the McGladrey Classic here at Sea Island, and I'm very proud to be in this tournament and very proud to win. And wow, it's been a whirlwind day.
"I didn't know having 24 putts and shooting 60 would be like this," he said. "So I'm pretty stoked about it."
Tommy Two Gloves Gainey and his unorthodox swing will never be confused with the likes of Phil and Tiger or Rory but there's something special about this guy. Maybe it is his swing that looks more like ours than it does Adam Scott's. Or maybe it's the fact that he makes the most out of the talent that he has with hard work and determination. Or it could be his soft-spoken southern, gentlemanly way he carries himself. Maybe it's his graciousness and his humility. Or maybe it's the joy we get watching a "regular guy" reach heights beyond his grasp and realize his dream. Yea, that's it…all of it. There's a lot to like about Two Gloves and his nickname is only a small part of it.

Rampvan XT eSummary
Quiet Drive™
Quiet Drive™ is a ground-breaking noise reduction technology offered exclusively on all BraunAbility wheelchair vans. Quiet Drive reduces noise for a more enjoyable driving experience by using advanced acoustic techniques to identify and then block noise from entering the vehicle cabin. Click here to find out more.
Auto Door
The wheelchair van's sliding door opens reliably at the touch of a button. This feature can be activated with the standard keychain remote, or with one of the interior control switches.
Auto Ramp
The lightweight aluminum ramp extends to allow easy access to the interior for wheelchairs and scooters. A durable, non-skid powder-coated finish ensures superior traction, and the slotted surface helps to prevent your chair from tracking debris into your Rampvan XT handicap van. In the event of power failure, the ramp can be operated manually.
Auto Kneel
To make boarding even easier, BraunAbility handicap vans feature an integrated "kneeling" system. An actuator lowers the rear suspension while the door opens, which reduces the slope of the auto ramp.
Cargo Area
The spare tire is stored below the rear cargo area, providing much more storage space over the 2010 model. Third row roll-and-tumble seats fold forward to offer additional cargo space when needed.
Rear Bench Foot Rest
A Braun-designed footrest adds comfort for backseat passengers and folds away automatically when not in use.
Remote Control
The door, ramp and kneeling functions can be activated by the van's original key remote control. Just press the passenger sliding door button twice, and everything operates automatically.
Lowered Floor
From the firewall to the rear axle, the wheelchair van's floor is up to 10" lower than conventional minivans. With a choice of seating positions, wheelchair users can choose to ride in their chair and enjoy the view.
Removable Seating
For those who wish to ride up front or even drive from their wheelchair, BraunAbility makes it easy: simply unlock the seat base and roll the entire seat out of the handicap van. The seats can be reinstalled into the Rampvan XT just as easily when needed.
Wheelchair Tie Downs
Each wheelchair van includes a standard floor-track and belt system that secures the wheelchair for transit. An optional retractable belt system, pictured at left, is a versatile and convenient option. Independent users can even elect to have an automatic tie-down installed. Due to the wide variety of wheelchairs and tie-down systems available, we recommend that you check with your local dealer to determine which system will work best for you and your handicapped van.

The initial rush for ammunition and guns in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the resulting fear over possible tougher gun laws has subsided.
Ron Henderson, who helps manage the Great American Gun and Knife Show at the Wilson County Fairgrounds, said for the first time in a while several of his dealers will have guns and ammo for sale this weekend.
He said emotions among buyers have settled some since many items were hard to find anywhere for months because of fear over new legislation.
"You don't ignore it. You just prepare for what it'll mean if it does happen," Henderson said.
A push for universal background checks failed by a small margin in the U.S. Senate. Gun safety advocates in Nashville are still working to get the next round of firearm legislation passed in Washington.
They are reaching out to Tennessee Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.
"They voted against it. We're asking them to change their vote and vote for it because that's what the people want," said advocate Linda McFadyen-Ketchum.
An estimated 85 percent of Tennesseans support universal background checks, and both federal bills gaining support are bipartisan.
But the hangup for gun rights supports remains the same.
"I don't think you can legislate crazy. You can't legislate stupid, so I don't know what the answer is," Henderson said.
Many don't believe laws will stop the wrong people from getting guns and will only make it harder for the majority, but gun safety advocates see it as the right step.
"Once you've been touched by gun violence like many of us have, you don't forget it," McFadyen-Ketchum said.

For 2014, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 is the brand's ultimate modern American rear-wheel-drive muscle coupe.

The Challenger SRT8 accelerates from 0-60 mph in the high 4-second range; runs the quarter mile in mid-12-second range with the optional five-speed automatic transmission (high 12-second range with the standard Tremac six-speed manual), and reaches a top speed of 182 mph with the manual transmission (175 mph - automatic).

Plair 2 is an interesting Chromecast alternative that offers access to the full suite of Android apps, but it's just not reliable enough to recommend.
Google's $35 Chromecast stick is a cheap and easy way to add streaming video and music to your TV, but it still isn't as fully featured as similarly priced Roku boxes.
It's a refurb, but so what? You still get a one-year warranty. Adding smarts to your TV has never been cheaper.
Whether you already have a Chromecast, or you're just curious what you could do with one, these apps will help you unlock the potential of the tiny plug-in device.
For the first birthday of Google's streaming-media stick, the exec behind the dirt-cheap dongle discusses its back story, year one, and the path ahead.
Recently announced at Google I/O, the beta feature lets Android users mirror their device to a Chromecast-connected television.
The deal also includes a lifetime PlayLater subscription, making this a mighty sweet package for cord cutters.
Google refreshes the Chromecast dongle at its developer conference in San Francisco. Chromecast will now allow users to connect to nearby devices over the cloud instead of just via a Wi-Fi network.
The tech giant announces a few new features for its popular streaming hardware at the Google I/O developer conference.
WatchESPN and Major League Soccer apps aim at sports fans, while other new apps focus on photos, anime.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
The Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame's Tennessean of the Year award belongs to Kenny Chesney because he is someone who has made "significant contributions to our society through sports or other methods, demonstrating strong character and high profile leadership." (That's how they determine the honoree.) Country stars Barbara Mandrell, Vince Gill and Hank Williams Jr. have had the honor in past years. And now it's Chesney's turn. His award makes perfect sense after he devoted so much of his time singing about football ("The Boys of Fall") and then making two ESPN documentaries about the love of the game. But it sounds like he doesn't feel as passionate about the Super Bowl as he did last year when the New Orleans Saints were in it. "I'm gonna watch the game at home, I think, with just some friends and family," Chesney said in a recent radio interview. "And we're just gonna maybe cook some chili and sit and watch it like everybody else."

58% of Americans want payroll tax cut extended
A new poll finds support for continuing the payroll tax cut and deep discontent with Congress. More voters favor service cuts over tax increases.
This story is by Laurie Kellman of The Associated Press.
Most Americans want Congress to vote to continue the payroll tax reduction, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll that comes as Democrats and Republicans wrestle over whether to extend the cut through 2012.
It's the latest instance in which lawmakers on Capitol Hill have allowed partisan sniping to hold up a measure to put in place a policy that most Americans support, like ending the Bush tax cuts, cap and trade, and a surcharge on millionaires.
The dragged-out debate over whether to extend an expiring payroll tax reduction is one of many developments that have kept voters furious with their leaders all year. On the brink of the 2012 presidential and congressional elections, virtually all Americans are disappointed and frustrated with the political scene and nearly 6 in 10 say they are angry, the AP-GfK survey showed.
"It seems like there are parties that only want to get their agenda done," said liquor store owner James Jacobsen, 47, of East Hartford, Conn. "They're catering to special interests and not Americans. They are not representing the individual American."
Nearly 6 in 10 respondents say they want Congress to pass the extension, according to the poll. Letting the payroll tax break expire would cost a family making $50,000 about $1,000.
Post continues after video.
Yet, Republicans and Democrats are rejecting each other's proposals and trying to make law from what's left, a tactic they've used all year on debates over the budget and the nation's debt. The stalemates have caused a decline in confidence so severe that 15 percent of all adults and 32 percent of political independents say they don't trust either party to manage the federal budget deficit.
Retired postal worker Larry Collier wishes Congress would get on with what help it can give — an assurance to 160 million American workers that their payroll tax cut will be extended through 2012.
What really galls him is the inequality: The same Congress hesitating to keep taxes low for working Americans also is hesitating to raise them on the wealthy. Congress this year ignored President Barack Obama's proposal to let expire tax cuts on the richest Americans and impose additional taxes on those who make more than $1 million, though polls showed most people supported those policies.
"Those millionaires wouldn't even miss that money," Collier, of Pace, Fla., said, noting that he voted for George W. Bush and is now a Democrat.
Economic discontent has spilled over into the political sphere all year and could influence the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. Occupy Wall Street and other protests against inequality have grabbed some attention from politicians, with Democrats the most supportive. Last week, a group of demonstrators camped out on the National Mall, crashed stately holiday parties and marched on Capitol Hill, demanding that Congress extend the payroll tax and insurance for the long-term unemployed.
On the payroll tax deduction, 58% of respondents said they want Congress to extend the break, while 35% want it to expire.
Democrats and independents are the strongest supporters of continuing the tax cut, while Republicans were evenly divided. But the difference is more partisan than ideological: Conservatives supported an extension 54% to the 42% who prefer to let the reduction expire.
Those with annual incomes below $50,000 more strongly support the extension compared with higher-income respondents, and seniors were more likely than younger adults to back the extension.
There is little sign Congress is listening.
Democrats who control the Senate rejected a GOP-ruled House plan to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits, but only with cuts to spending and sped-up approval of an oil pipeline. The Senate is crafting its own proposal in response.
If an agreement is not reached by the end of the year, payroll taxes will jump on Jan. 1 from this year's 4.2% back to their normal level of 6.2%.
Americans are virtually out of patience, the polling shows. And their distrust crosses party lines.
"I really don't feel that they are having the best interests of us as a people," said Rogersville, Tenn., resident Andrea Stafford, 38, a single mother of two who has been unemployed since the summer.
"And when I say people," she added, "I don't mean millionaires and government officials. I'm talking about the normal person who gets up and fixes their children's lunch and has to take off work when their child is sick because we don't have nannies."
The AP-GfK poll found congressional approval near its all-time low and nearly all Americans disappointed with politics. Eighty-four percent of the respondents disapproved of the way Congress is doing its job, with at least 8 in 10 Republicans,
Democrats and independents feeling that way.
As for how to balance the federal budget, more now favor cutting government services as the best means to bring federal spending into balance. Sixty percent think lawmakers should focus on budget cuts over tax increases. That figure had been as low as 53% in August, during the showdown over raising the country's debt limit.
The biggest shift on that question has come from independents. In the August poll, 37% said lawmakers should focus on increasing taxes and 42% said cutting services. Now, that divide stands at 28% for raising taxes and 59% for cutting services.
The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted Dec. 8-12 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cell phone interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
AP Deputy Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta, writer Stacy Anderson and News Survey Specialist Dennis Junius contributed to this report.

Which writers made it?
Find out who wrote our pick of the sketches from series 7.
Ahead of the eighth series, Radio 4 takes a look back at the last run of Newsjack, Radio 4 Extra's topical sketch show that anyone can write for. It will feature all of the best standalong sketches, JackApps (Newsjack's version of a rantline) and corrections from series seven. So don't worry if you didn't keep up with the news in September and October last year, this show will get you 100% up to speed. Sort of.
Newsjack has an open-door policy, which means that anyone can write for it. How open is the show's door? In the last series, the seventh, the production team read 450 emails a week, and broadcast the work of 123 different writers. Newsjack may not be the only way to get started as a comedy writer, but it is definitely a good way; the show is not only trying to deliver a good show each week but also to identify new writers in the way that The News Huddlines or Week Ending did for previous generations of writers. Newsjack writing alumni include James Kettle, now writing on a variety of Radio 4 shows including "It's Not What You Know" and "Can't Tell Nathan Caton Nothing"; Eddie Robson, whose sitcom "Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully" will go out on Radio 2 in March; and Tom Neenan, now one of BBC Radio Comedy's bursary writers.
Presented by Justin Edwards, and featuring Margaret Cabourn-Smith, Pippa Evans, Nadia Kamil, Cariad Lloyd and Lewis Macleod.

I've been using Dreamweaver to get started in learning web design. It's been a good way to get the hang of things and I wrote most of my own code, but I'd like to transition to software that will help me to better learn the basics without the program being a crutch.
What are the pro's and con's on different programs? For example I think I have Text Wrangler but is BBEdit (I'm Mac based) or some other program a better way to go? I keep seeing Firebug mentioned. Is it used for web design or do you use it in addition to a text editor? Is it a good tool?
In Dreamweaver you can use a split screen so you can see--for the most--what you're doing. How do you do this when you're using a text editor? I'm a visual person and really need to see what I'm doing!
Thanks for any suggestions/info!

A few months ago, it was announced that Renault's new Alpine sports car would be developed in cooperation with Caterham . Now with the partnership pretty much confirmed, it looks like Renault won't be the only one to benefitting, as Caterham will also get its own sports car that will target models like Porsche Cayman .
The model will be powered by a heavily modified version of a Renault-sourced four-cylinder engine that will develop a total of 270 horsepower and will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. The model won't target those hardcore enthusiasts, but it will aim a much wider audience. In fact Caterham hopes to sell a total of 25,000 units during the car's lifetime.
The engine will be mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission, and a paddle-shift automatic unit will be offered as an option. You shouldn't expect the new Caterham sports car to feature the same design language as the Alpine, as Caterham commercial director David Ridley claims that the British car will look "utterly different."
Expect to see the new Caterham sports car launched sometime in 2015 at a starting price of £40,000 (about $65,000 at the current exchange rates).

This 178-page book recounts the harrowing tale of how the World's Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band re-established their superiority amidst the provocations of punk rock and the continued legal and substance-related problems of guitarist Keith Richards with their most powerfully relevant release in years. Following the album's songs from their inspiration on the mean streets of late-'70s Manhattan to the intimate Parisian studio where they were captured, NYU professor Cyrus R.K. Patell examines both the history of the Stones and the history of New York City to uncover how the two together resulted in what Mick Jagger later referred to as the Stones' best record since "Let It Bleed."
Music has inspired other artists for generations - painters, writers, photographers and more. Chronicled by the poster artists, writers, photographers, and performers themselves, the books within this category offer intimate portraits of an exceptional time and place.

Still Feisty and Fabulous
Published September 23, 2010 12:00
Who made up the Original Nine... and where are they now?
Jane 'Peaches' Bartkowicz, a native of Michigan, was 21 in 1970. She reached the quarterfinals in singles at the US Open in 1968 and 1969, won the Canadian title in 1968, and was a member of the victorious US Federation Cup side in 1969. Her 17 junior titles included Wimbledon in 1964, and three straight wins at the US nationals. She retired from the circuit in 1971.
Rosie Casals was 22 when she beat Judy Dalton in the final of the Virginia Slims Invitation in Houston in 1970. She reached two Grand Slam singles finals, falling to Margaret Court at the 1970 US Open (with her win, Court completed the Grand Slam sweep) and in 1971, losing to her doubles partner, Billie Jean King. Her haul of 112 doubles titles, including five at Wimbledon with King, ranks second only to Martina Navratilova - with whom she played her last event in 1988. Casals won nine Grand Slam titles, including five Wimbledons with King. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1996.
In Her Own Words: Rosie Casals
Judy Dalton was 32 when she was runner-up to Rosie Casals at the infamous Virginia Slims Invitation in Houston in 1970. During her career Dalton (née Tegart) won nine Grand Slam doubles titles (including five with Margaret Court) and achieved the 'Career Grand Slam'. In singles, she reached the Wimbledon final in 1968, upsetting Court and Nancy Richey before succumbing to Billie Jean King, 97 75. In fact, from Wimbledon in 1967 until her retirement - aged 40 - after the 1977 Australian Open - Dalton reached at least the quarters in 10 of the 20 Slams played. She also built an 18-4 record in Federation Cup, and was a member of two victorious squads.
In Her Own Words: Judy Dalton
Julie Heldman, daughter of Gladys, was 25 in 1970. During her career she won 22 professional titles, including the Italian Open, reached three Grand Slam singles semifinals, and peaked at world No.5 (No.2 in the US) in 1969. She left the Tour in 1975 and now lives in retirement in California.
In Her Own Words: Julie Heldman
Billie Jean King was pushing 27 at Houston in 1970, and had already started calling herself the 'Old Lady' of tennis. By this point she had won five of her eventual 12 Grand Slam singles titles and spent time as No.1. She also won 16 Grand Slam doubles titles and 11 mixed, and one a total of 20 Wimbledon crowns across the three disciplines. In 1971 alone she won 17 singles titles and became the first female athlete to earn more than $100,000 in prize money in a single year. In 1973 she beat Bobby Riggs in the famous Battle of the Sexes. She played doubles with Jennifer Capriati at the Virginia Slims of Florida in 1990, and then retired from competitive play.
Looking Back at a Legend...BJK
Kristy Pigeon was 20 in 1970. After winning the US Girls' title and junior Wimbledon, the Californian went on to reach the fourth round of the ladies singles at the All England in 1968 and 1969, and reached the US Top 10. She left the Tour in 1975, having represented the US in team competitions and won the Welsh Open.
In Her Own Words: Kristy Pigeon
Kerry Melville Reid was 23 when the Original Nine took their stand in 1970. Among 22 singles titles won during her career she won her home Grand Slam, the Australian Open, in 1977. A further 40 finals included the Aussie Open in 1970, and in 1972 both the US Open and the nascent Virginia Slims Tour's first season-ending championships. Ranked in the Top 10 for nine of 11 years from 1969-79, she held the singles year-end No.5 spot from 1971-73, and won three doubles majors, including 1978 Wimbledon with Wendy Turnbull. She married fellow touring pro and Boston Lobsters WTT teammate Raz Reid in 1975, and played her last major at Flushing Meadows in 1979.
In Her Own Words: Kerry Melville Reid
Nancy Richey was a 28-year-old two-time Grand Slam singles champion in 1970, having won the Australian Open in 1967 and the French Open in 1968. During a career that spanned two decades the Texan won 69 singles titles, including a record six consecutive US claycourt championships, and ranked as high at No.2 in 1969 (her brother, Cliff, was the US No.1 in 1970). She also won four Grand Slam doubles titles. Richey retired after the 1978 US Open - the first to be played at Flushing Meadows - at the age of 36. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2003.
In Her Own Words: Nancy Richey
Valerie Ziegenfuss was 21 in 1970. In singles, she reached the fourth round at three Grand Slams, and one final on the fledgling Tour, at the Virginia Slims of Oklahoma in 1972. She ranked as high as No.7 in the Unites States in singles, and was the top-ranked doubles player in women's tennis in 1967. She lives in Southern California.

Freshman Jenni-Rose DiCecco did everything she could do Friday night as the Clippers took it to double overtime at Sandwich. DiCecco scored eight of her game-high 45 points in the second four-minute overtime, but in the final seconds a turnover put the ball in Sandwich hands, forcing Falmouth to foul. Erin Reardon stepped to the line with 11 seconds on the clock and sank both free throws for the Knights as Sandwich claimed a very hard fought 76-72 victory.
DiCecco gave the Clippers a 67-64 lead in the opening seconds of the second OT with her sixth 3-pointer of the night, this one from the left side baseline. Sandwich came back to take the lead 70-67, but DiCecco banked a shot in off the glass to cut the lead to one. On the next FHS possession she drove up the middle, through the Blue Knight defense and popped in an under-handed layup, drawing a foul. The free throw gave the Clippers a 72-70 lead. Reardon hit one of two from the line as the Knights pulled to within a point at 72-71.
The 45 points scored by DiCecco is believed to be the single-game scoring record for the girls' program. The rookie shot the lights out, hitting 17 of 23 shots from the field during the game, including a 6 for 6 showing from 3-point land. "It was the best offensive performance I've ever seen," coach Bob Buscher said.
With 59 seconds on the clock, Sandwich's Lea Adams launched a deep ball from outside the arc to the right that found nothing but net as Knights went up 74-72. A Falmouth turnover with 20 seconds left put the ball and the game in Sandwich hands.
From the opening tip, the score bounced back and forth. Sandwich opened with a 3-pointer by Carly Whittle and built a 13-4 lead, until with 3:22 left in the first quarter DiCecco put together two 3-point plays and then banked a shot in off the glass to give the Clippers their first lead of the night with 1:14 to play in the opening quarter. She then hit a 3-pointer to complete a run of 12 straight points, but two shots from the free by Sandwich's Shannon Mosher put the Knights up 23-20 at the end of the first quarter.
Kyra Martino hit a 3-pointer for FHS to open the second quarter and DiCecco banked one in off the backboard on a fast break as the Clippers pulled out to a 29-26 lead.
The Knights tied the game with 4:37 to play at 29-29 and then Whittle was fouled underneath the basket. She hit the free throw to give SHS a 32-29 lead.
DiCecco drained a 3-pointer and Adams answered for the Knights as neither team managed more than a two-point lead as the score bounced back and forth, with the Knights holding a 38-37 lead at the break.
DiCecco scored 22 of her points in the first half, hitting two of her 3-pointers and went 4 for 4 from the line.
Sandwich managed a small lead early in the third, but a steal and layup by DiCecco tied the game at 42-42. Sandwich built a seven-point lead with 1:16 to play, but the Clippers charged back with Taylor Miller banking in a jump shot at the buzzer to cut the SHS lead to 51-50.
Two quick baskets down low by Miller three minutes into the fourth quarter put Falmouth on top 56-53. The Knights regained the lead, but a 3-pointer by DiCecco gave the Clippers a 59-57 advantage. Sandwich tied the game with 1:22 remaining in a jumper by Whittle. With 42 seconds on the clock DiCecco held onto the ball allowing the clock to run down. With 15 seconds left she moved up to the 3-point arc and tried to get the ball inside to Miller, but Caroline McKenna intercepted the pass for the Knights. There was not enough time left on the clock for Sandwich to capitalize on the turnover, sending the game into OT.
Falmouth held a three-point lead with 2:21 to play in the first overtime, but a 3-pointer from the top of the key by McKenna knotted the score at 64-64. The final two minutes was all defense at both ends of the floor, forcing a second OT.
Miller, who had a big night off the glass, finished with 18 points. Martino had seven points, including a 3-pointer. Sara Buscher and Nicole Gonsalves put in quality minutes at both ends of the floor.
Sandwich was led by Adams with 23 points, including three 3-pointers. Each team finished the night with seven 3-pointers, a testament to how tough the defense at both ends played down low. Sandwich was 19 for 24 from the line, while FHS was 5 for 8.

Cancer Stem Cells May Help Brain Tumors Survive Radiation
Some brain tumors may contain small populations of cancer stem cells that are resistant to radiation therapy, and this may help explain why the disease often recurs after treatment, even when there are no detectable signs of cancer.
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have found that cancer stem cells isolated from brain tumor tissues can survive radiation treatments. Although their DNA is damaged, these cells make repairs more efficiently than other tumor cells.
"We found that cancer stem cells could deal with DNA damage from both chemotherapy and radiation more readily than other cells and survive better," says lead investigator Dr. Jeremy Rich.
His team used a protein called CD133 to distinguish potential cancer stem cells from other cells in glioblastoma tumors, the most common form of brain cancer. The disease resists all treatments, and most patients survive only a year after diagnosis.
The new findings, published early online October 18 in Nature, point to a role for cancer stem cells in glioblastoma, and they add to growing evidence that these rare cells may be the critical targets for treating cancer.
Cancer stem cells were first reported in the brain in 2004. Dr. Peter Dirks of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto led a team that isolated brain tumor cells with some of the properties of stem cells. The cells could divide indefinitely, give rise to various types of cells, and form tumors when transplanted into mice.
The definition of a cancer stem cell has been controversial, and the Duke team did experiments to show that they were working with cancer stem cells or cells with similar properties. In one example, when a few hundred of these cells were transplanted into mice, they formed tumors that resembled the original tumors, even after being irradiated.
"This is an exciting study," says Dr. Dirks. "It's important to show that cancer stem cells are resistant to treatment because that will redouble our efforts to consider those cells as the most crucial for cancer therapy."
The study offers insights into the biology of the tumor that could be relevant to treating patients. Knowing that DNA repair was important, the researchers blocked the DNA-repair response in mice as a potential strategy for overcoming resistance.
It seemed to work - radiation treatments killed cancer stem cells in mice when drugs inhibited their "checkpoint" proteins, which regulate DNA repair.
This study provides the first evidence of a potential mechanism - enhanced DNA repair - that allows cancer stem cells in solid tumors to survive and that could be targeted by therapies, says Dr. Craig Jordan of the University of Rochester. His team has developed ways to selectively target leukemia stem cells while sparing normal cells.
"The efficacy with which the researchers could kill these cells with radiation in the presence of a checkpoint inhibitor was striking," notes Dr. Jordan. "This is proof of concept in the brain cancer field that it is possible to target malignant stem cells."
Whether the results will be clinically useful remains to be seen, but they will likely be welcomed by physicians who treat this deadly disease.
"This study is encouraging," says Dr. Paul Fisher of the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center. "It improves our understanding of the biology, and this is the only way we are going to move forward in treating glioblastoma."

As natural medicine and beauty care gain popularity, how can you make sure you're choosing well-trained practitioners? The fact is, in some cases, there are no safety guarantees. And that's generating numerous legal efforts to regulate and license naturopaths. Learn how to protect yourself… Read more
Cosmetic Tattoos: The Ugly Truth
Some speculate that Cleopatra did it. Now it's become one of the hottest new beauty trends: tattooing lips, eyelids and eyebrows so they permanently look like you're wearing the perfect amount of make-up.
The benefits of these "permanent cosmetics" are obvious. No more costly lipsticks, eyeliners or eyebrow pencils to buy. You can go to bed and wake up with the same gorgeous face, never smudged or smeared. You can go swimming, run three miles, clean the garage, or answer the door straight out of the shower. It doesn't matter: you're going to look fantastic.
Unfortunately, there is a darker side. The field of permanent cosmetics is, at least for the moment, entirely unregulated. Practically anyone can purchase a set of tattoo ink pigments and needles, and go-to-town painting faces. For consumers, the negative side effects can range from just slightly irritated or tingly lips (often an allergic reaction to tainted ink) to hepatitis or HIV transmission via needles.
Also unsettling: the exact number of botched cases remains unknown. If it's any indication, though, the FDA received over 150 complaints last year alone, about just one particular ink pigment manufacturer. (And there are untold numbers of manufacturing companies worldwide!)
As John Hasey, owner of the Advanced School of Permanent Cosmetics, put it: "We see thousands of faces being destroyed by people who don't get trained properly, and that's the biggest problem in permanent cosmetics."
Putting the procedure into perspective, he explains that, "your average cosmetologist who cuts hair has to do 1,200 to 1,500 hours just to do that." So, Hasey wonders, "How is that any more important than taking a needle to someone's eye?"
For now, with no formal legislative move toward regulation or licensure for permanent cosmetic procedures, clients would be wise to do careful research before making the permanent commitment to any of these alluring procedures.
The Future of Naturopathy
Colorado is fighting for the right to license naturopathic doctors. For many people around the country the news may seem semi-irrelevant. Actually, the Colorado battle is an important step in a much larger national movement to legitimize natural medicine and its practitioners.
Naturopaths—homeopaths, acupuncturists, reflexologists, nutritionists, ayurvedic clinicians and others—work from the premise that our bodies have an innate ability to heal themselves. In general, they seek to identify and rectify the fundamental imbalance that causes symptoms rather than treating the symptoms themselves.
Despite the ancient medical underpinnings to naturopathy, and in spite of a dramatic increase in the number of people seeking natural health alternatives, the field continues to be combat widespread skepticism. And Colorado residents are no exception.
Most opposition to Colorado House Bill 11-1173, proposed by the Colorado Association of Naturopathic Doctors, comes from expected opponents, like the Colorado Medical Society, which claims that licensing naturopaths would give them the power to treat conditions beyond their training and expertise.
More surprising, however, is opposition from the Colorado Coalition for Natural Health. Since a number of Coalition members have not, themselves, been trained at accredited natural health institutions, it's likely they worry about losing their own naturopathy practices if the licensure legislation goes through.
As of this year, according to the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, only 15 states plus the District of Columbia give license to naturopaths. If Colorado gets added to the list, the Association says, residents will gain the ability to distinguish between knowledgeable naturopaths and quacks.
Association director, Karen Howard, explains her hope: "No longer will people who don't go to naturopathic medical school be able to hang up a shingle that says, 'I'm a naturopathic doctor.' It's a patient access and patient safety issue."
With 11 other states waiting in the wings with their own licensing legislation, the issue will certainly gain traction over the next year.

Tuacahn gears up for three outdoor plays, one indoor production
Stage » Classics ready to light up summer season.
By TOM WHARTON
| The Salt Lake Tribune
First Published May 25 2013 01:01 am
Last Updated Dec 07 2013 11:32 pm
St. George • Outdoor amphitheater shows at the Tuacahn Center for the Arts are known for including flying actors, live animals, floods, fireworks and 3-D special effects.
This summer, at least two of the three outdoor repertory productions should live up to the theater's well-deserved reputation.
Tuacahn's five-month season opens Thursday with the premiere of "Mary Poppins." The professional regional debut of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Starlight Express" starts its run a week later. And in a somewhat new twist, Tuacahn has added a third outdoor musical, "Thoroughly Modern Millie," making it possible for theater fans to catch three musicals in three nights.
Artistic director Scott Anderson said Tuacahn performed "Annie," "Aida" and "Footloose" successfully a few years ago, though one of those opened late in the summer. The theater has never opened three plays so close to one another.
About 1,400 actors auditioned for roles in the three outdoor productions, a group that Anderson and his other directors whittled down to 38 Equity actors, the largest number of professionals the theater has ever employed.
Though "Mary Poppins" will feature flying actors, fireworks and a new projection scenery system, the visual stunner of the summer might be "Starlight Express."
Anderson said Tuacahn originally planned to produce "Camelot" this season. But, during a trip to London, he managed to secure the first regional rights for "Starlight Express."
"We're excited about it," he said. "People don't realize how popular this show is. It has been running for 25 years in Bochum, Germany, at a beautiful facility built for the show. And there is a revival of it going on in London."
The story involves a little boy who receives a train on Christmas Eve. His mother wants him to go to bed, but he is playing with his new train set. He imagines it coming to life and interacts with the train throughout the show.
"In the original show, the boy is only on tape," said Anderson. "You never see him. In this production, he interacts throughout the show with the trains. It's quite novel."
The show is best known because it's performed entirely on roller skates, so actors were required to skate well before being cast.
Anderson took a surface used by roller-derby groups and built a track all over the stage and out into the audience. "Starlight Express" will also use the 3-D technology seen in Tuacahn's production of "Aladdin" last year, as well as pyrotechnics.
Because more people are familiar with "Mary Poppins" — the story of a magical nanny hired to save a somewhat dysfunctional British family — it might be the most difficult outdoor ticket on some nights.
Anderson, who is directing the play, said that with so many scene changes, the new projection system will offer some stunning effects. Mary Poppins will do a lot of flying, perhaps even from the walls of the red rock that guards the outdoor stage, as Tarzan did two years ago.
"Thoroughly Modern Millie" will be a somewhat more traditional musical production. Tuacahn brought in director and choreographer Jeffry Denman for this Tony Award-winning musical that will feature tap dancing and some clever use of scenery to tell the story of a young woman coming to New York City in the 1920s.
In late June, the more child-oriented "Mulan," a 75-minute, one-act play based on the 1998 Disney movie, will open in the indoor Hafen Theater.
Tuacahn will be one of the first venues where Disney has allowed the use of professional actors. The play, about a young woman and her pet dragon trying to save an empire, features mostly Asian-American actors who are not part of the repertory for the three outdoor productions.
