George Korda: A budget message said in the least insensitive and nicest possible way
Many people who are aghast at the idea of cutting federal government spending don't have a clue what the U.S. is spending or how much it's borrowing.
A March 15, 2010 Zogby poll asked respondents to estimate what percentage of the federal budget is represented by Medicare, Medicaid, defense, and a number of other government activities.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the poll was what people didn't know: "Respondents were furthest off in their estimates for interest on the debt and non-defense discretionary spending," it said.
That would be about $875 billion, if you're wondering.
Interest on the national debt is the fastest-growing segment of the budget, according to a story dated Feb. 8, 2011on the CNN website: "Every month, CBO prepares a two-page balance sheet that summarizes what the government is spending and taking in. The latest version, released Monday, reports that Uncle Sam has paid $80 billion in net interest on the federal debt through the first four months of the 2011 fiscal year.
"That represents a 9.1% increase over the same period last year."
U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, who represents Tennessee's 1st congressional district, has put together a presentation he gives on the sad, scary and deadly serious situation with respect to the U.S. budget.
Rep. Roe is justifiably worried about where we are and where we're going. As described several weeks ago in this column, when he asks his Democrat congressional colleagues what they expect if such massive, virtually unimaginable-but-real deficits continue, he says he receives a "deer in the headlights look."
For those who are unaware of the scope of the spending and debt problem or where the government spends its money, here are several key points from Roe's presentation of the 2010 budget:
• Defense spending: just below $700 billion
• Social Security: $701 billion
• Medicare: $519 billion
• Medicaid: $273 billion
• Non-defense discretionary spending: $666 billion
• Other mandatory spending: $433 billon
• Net interest: $202 billion
Tragically, during his presidency George W. Bush abandoned Republican principles of smaller government. A more-or-less balanced budget forged between a Republican Congress and Democrat President Bill Clinton – both of whom saw it as in their interest – was deep-sixed, ballooning to deficits of more than $400 billion when Bush left office.
The reason given for Bush's spending was the war on terror.
Barack Obama has presented budgets to Congress quadrupling the highest deficit of the Bush years.
The reason given for Obama's spending is fighting the recession.
Government never lacks for reasons to grow. What it lacks is the money to pay for them.
At the same time, no one wants to give up their favorite program. For example, take National Public Radio, please. Its annual taxpayer subsidy is sacred to those who love NPR; the fact that money has to be borrowed to provide it to them is secondary.
But NPR is a pin prick on the budgetary elephant, as Rep. Roe's presentation explains. With every passing day U.S. taxpayers are stuck with an additional $4-5 billion in borrowed money they are obligated to repay.
Taxes cannot be raised enough on taxpayers and businesses to make up this disaster. Plus, doing either would divert money out of the economy. If consumers are going to buy things, and businesses are going to create jobs, saddling them with new government costs is hardly an incentive for growth.
The federal government budget was $1.8 trillion in 2001. Ten years later it has more than doubled. Our deficit in 2011 will nearly equal the budget of 2001.
Anyone who thinks this spending pattern is "sustainable" – to use a favorite word of new-age environmentalists, has absented themselves from reality. And that's meant in the least insensitive and nicest possible way.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- The City of Spokane approved a stronger ordinance against people smoking in public.
Currently, there is no smoking allowing in bars or restaurants. Anyone who chooses to smoke must do so outside and 25 feet away from the nearest door.
Under the new ordinance, police officers can now ticket people smoking too close to buildings. Under the old law, the Spokane Regional Health District could only ticket a business for not enforcing the law.
The fine for smoking too close is about $100.
The council said businesses have been complaining they can't get rid of smokers who refuse to move along.
KREM 2 talked to some smokers who said as long as police were courteous and didn't slap them with a ticket, they wouldn't have a problem with the new ordinance. Police still need to form a plan for how to enforce the new ordinance.

Purumamasa Island, a small uninhabited off the coast of Aore and Malo islands.
January 2014, Vanuatu
Palm Sunday on Paama: after service, the kids pillaged the branches cut to decorate the church. We made palm pinwheels, watches, bows, rings, crowns and swords. A hundred biodegradable playthings.
A week of food in Vanuatu, part two
i) pounded roasted breadfruit with cream of coconut
ii) oatmeal and bananas
iii) breakfast cracks for life
iv) boiled crabs
v) watermelon
vi) crabs with taro, sweet potato and coconut milk
vii) breadfruit, roasted
viii) laplap - grated taro baked in banana leaves and topped with island cabbage and tin fish
ix) the worst thing i've ever eaten in Vanuatu: a heaping plate of rice topped with a stew of chicken flavored noodles, onions, peppers, tin tuna and flying fox (bat)
x) the cucumbers are huge here
Tabu adj. forbidden, prohibited 2. holy 3. n restriction, prohibition
I hear "tabu" when:
Sitting on mats under the mango trees when my niece Marinette tries to eat a leaf or a pencil or my brother's toe. "Tabu" can be used to mean "No".
I hear "tabu" in church- Papa God, Jesus Son, mo Tabu Spirit. "Tabu" can also mean "Holy".
I see the "Tabu Tri" the Namele on the Vanuatu national flag- it is a sign of peace, or when seen wrapped on poles and stuck in the water as a sign of "this is a fish sanctuary, keep out"
I hear it when referred to Mr. Ora, the man who drives a truck to the airport. He is my "Tabu Abu" which means that I am not allowed to joke around him, refer to him by his name, or touch him.
I see "tabu" written on the wall of the school's workshop, I suppose either it is either a holy workshop or forbidden.
Members of Peace Corps Volunteer Stephanie Bergado's small island community pull the boat used to access their local health center boat to shore.
Stephanie is currently raising funds with her community in Vanuatu to install solar panels in the local community health center that will allow patients to be effectively treated after dark. The health center serves all 126 members of Bergado's small island community and currently operates by flashlight or kerosene lamp during night hours.
"The community relies heavily on the health center for all of its services, day and night, but many community members are reluctant to seek medical care when it's dark," said Bergado, a graduate of Southern Connecticut State University who has been living and working in Vanuatu since October 2011. "This can cause serious health complications and in some cases long term problems. The island is very isolated, and it can be extremely hard to receive batteries for flashlights or kerosene for lamps. This kind of patient care can be very difficult at times and can seriously affect the treatment given to a patient."
Funds raised by Bergado's project will go toward purchasing a solar panel package with all the necessary equipment and materials. The community has agreed to contribute the cost of transporting the materials and labor needed to install the panels. In order to receive funding through the PCPP, a community must make a 25 percent contribution to the total project and outline success indicators for the individual projects. This helps ensure community ownership and a greater chance of long-term sustainability.
"The health center building itself is strong and impressive, but without adequate lighting, it is crippled and it cannot have the positive effect it was intended to," continued Bergado. "With a constant, renewable source of light from the solar panels, the health center can really make a difference for the health and well-being of my community."

University of Rhode Island students returned back to
class today after a campus-wide lock down yesterday.
Things appeared back to normal at the state's largest University as faculty
and students arrived for morning classes as scheduled after a gun scare shook
up the campus.
"I feel safe. It's a great campus. They responded quickly," said Titus Her,
a senior who was returning to class this morning.
Rhode Island State Police say there was never a person with a gun on the
campus and the only evidence of any gun was a toy nerf gun found in a backpack.
The toy may be connected to a part of a popular campus game; Humans vs.
It remains unclear if the nerf-gun was actually related to the scare but
some students have their doubts. "Personally I don't think it was the game, because
nerf guns are usually red or orange colored," said Molly Hodshon a URI junior.
The president of the humans versus zombies club Ryan Cabral said the game
has been temporarily suspended but expects it to return before the semester
Students said the game is just like an intense game of tag where some
players are humans and others are zombies. "I think it could be misinterpreted
a lot of times. I know that they don't do it to cause a problem, they're doing
it just to have fun," said Danielle Proulx, a URI Junior, "I don't know if it
should be banned, but it should be definitely re-evaluated and some new rules
have to be set."

1. Client Access Licensing
When purchasing a Microsoft server (Exchange, SharePoint Portal, SQL, Systems Management, Windows or Windows Terminal), a licence is required for each copy of the server software installed. In addition, a client access licence (CAL) is required, for the same server version, for each user or device (or combination of both) that accesses or uses the server software. The only time you do not need a CAL is if:-
- access is through the Internet and is un-authenticated
- access is to a server running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
- access or use is by an external user and External Connector licences are acquired instead of CALs
Authenticated access is defined as an exchange of user or application credentials between the server software and a user or device. This includes students accessing university servers, connected to the university network, from their own machines. An example of this exception would be unidentified (anonymous) users browsing a public web site.
Downgrade rights are available with CALs, so a client licence for Windows Server 2003 can be used with Windows Server 2000. However, a client licence for Windows Server 2000 cannot be used with Windows Server 2003.

Whenever Ali Sadeghi was in the mood for fresh fish or oysters, the Ellicott City resident says he had to drive to D.C. or Baltimore to satisfy his craving.
Now he can indulge at the restaurant he and retired Baltimore Ravens linebacker Adalius Thomas opened in mid-October at Turf Valley Towne Square.
Grille 620 is one of 16 businesses at the new 108,000-square-foot shopping center on Resort Road in Ellicott City. The $22 million complex is anchored by a Harris Teeter grocery store and located near Turf Valley Resort and Conference Center.
The Main Street-style open-air center is constructed with brick, concrete and stone, akin to the developer's sister property, Hunt Valley Towne Centre. Turf Valley Towne Square features an outdoor gathering area, with benches and a fireplace, which will host concerts and other events in the summer.
"It's a beautiful spot. Everything is brand-new," says Octavio Moreno, manager of Columbia's Xitomate Mexican Restaurant. Xitomate owner Julio Soto is slated to open his second Xitomate at Turf Valley Towne Centre this winter. Soto also owns Azul 17 in Columbia.
Restaurant and shop owners say they were attracted to the area's demographics.
Being near Turf Valley Resort was a draw for Tom Yates, owner of Petite Cellars wine, beer and spirits store.
"Many of their guests and members would be the exact people I would want to attract here," Yates says.
The resort also was a draw for Kathleen Lauer, owner of organic hair salon Inspire.
"Turf Valley is a bridal destination. It seems like a perfect spot for us," she says.
There is space at the shopping center for a couple more businesses, says Thomas M. Fitzpatrick, president of developer Greenberg Gibbons Commercial Corp. Fitzpatrick wouldn't disclose the names of any interested parties. But in the meantime, here's a look at the businesses that are open or will open soon.
Harris Teeter
harristeeter.com, 410-461-5014
The 48,000-square-foot grocery store, which is open 24 hours, anchors Turf Valley Towne Square and features prepared foods, sushi, a salad bar and fresh-cut flowers. It's the eighth Maryland store for Harris Teeter, which recently merged with Kroger.
Pet Valu
us.petvalu.com, 410-480-4200
The recently opened shop sells pet food, treats and toys for dogs, cats, birds, fish and other creatures. There's also a self-serve dog washing station.
Petite Cellars
petitecellars.com, 410-750-0562
Slated to open in November, the shop will carry a variety of wine, beer and spirits. If your choice isn't in stock, the staff will place a special order for you.
Smyth Jewelers
smythjewelers.com, 410-461-4044
Smyth moved its Ellicott City location from the Enchanted Forest Shopping Center to Turf Valley Towne Square. Selling diamonds, gold and estate jewelry, Smyth bills itself as "Baltimore's largest jewelry store."

New York (AP) — Radical preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri and two other terrorism suspects who fought for years to avoid facing charges in the United States are appearing in a New York court, hours after being extradited from Britain.
Khaled al-Fawwaz and Adel Abdul Bary pleaded not guilty Saturday afternoon. Al-Masri has not yet entered a plea.
Two other men extradited with them, Babar Hamad and Syed Talha Ahsan, pleaded not guilty in federal district court in Connecticut earlier Saturday. They are jailed until trial.
On Friday, Britain's High Court ruled the men had lost their grounds for appeal. They had been fighting extradition for eight to 14 years.

Matthew L. has not yet had a background check. After sending a message to Matthew, you will be able to order a background check for $7.99. The check will be processed by First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
Hey Everyone,
My name is Matthew and I hope I can be a tool for your success! I am currently a design engineer for The Boeing Company and have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in engineering. I have been tutoring friends, family, and classmates for as long as I can remember so I figured I should probably try getting paid for it for a change.
My strong points would be Math (Pre-algebra, Algebra, Pre-Calc, Calc, Geometry, and Trig) and Language Arts (Reading, Writing, and Vocab). I know that everyone learns differently so the same method can't be used for every student but I've done well figuring out what works for each student individually.
Outside of my job and tutoring my other interests include snowboarding (just started last year), dancing (hip-hop and contemporary for the past 8 years), and reading books.
Thanks for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing back from you!
The algebra 1 curriculum generally consists of graphing equations, inequalities, quadratic formulas, solving algebraic equations, and a few other topics as well. I am well versed in all of the above as well as algebra 2, and pre-algebra topics in case you have questions which extend outside of the scope of algebra 1.
Congruent triangles, perpendicular bisectors, complementary angles, and even the infamous geometry proofs can be tackled very quickly and efficiently once the theory behind them is understood. During my geometry sessions, I try to get my students to understand this theory by applying real world situations as opposed to hypothetical ones.

Partita for solo violin No. 2 in D minor BWV 1004
Sonata for violin and piano in E minor K. 304
Sonta for violin and piano in D minor
Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker are known not only for playing in the orchestra with a passion, but also for performing as soloists and in chamber ensembles. This also applies specifically to the orchestras three 1st concertmasters, to whom a series of chamber music concerts is dedicated this season. Each of the three has teamed up with a well-known pianist for his concert and put together a programme of works for violin and piano. We start with Daishin Kashimoto and Myung-Whun Chung.
Daishin Kashimoto has worked as a soloist with many major orchestras worldwide. Nevertheless, he says, for him it is "a huge honour to be a part of this excellent orchestra. Making music at such a high standard simply makes me happy, in a sense it gives me the feeling of being emotionally complete."
Myung-Whun Chung made his piano debut at the age of seven, and in 1974 he won 2nd prize at the renowned Tchaikovsky piano competition. And although he began his musical career as a pianist, this was soon followed by an international conducting career. Born in Seoul, South Korea in 1953, he worked for many years in France at the Paris Opera and as conductor of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France: "My wife and I love the lifestyle and sophistication in France. Paris is very close to our hearts due to the wealth of cultural and artistic opportunities there."
Myung-Whun Chung appears for this concert at the side of Daishin Kashimoto as a pianist. The two musicians' programme includes violin sonatas by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johannes Brahms, works which require a highly sophisticated and intimate style of playing.

AFT Joins Call for Education for All Children Around the World
AFT's Lawrence:
'If we can't convince our leaders that basic education is essential for all children, we will be accepting a world in poverty, a world in conflict and a world divided.'
WASHINGTON—This week, the American Federation of Teachers is joining with Education International and its affiliates worldwide to participate in Global Action Week. The theme of this year's efforts, led by the Global Campaign for Education, is "Every Child Needs a Teacher." The AFT's Action Week advocacy has been especially focused on making education a reality for all girls and young women around the world. AFT Executive Vice President Francine Lawrence released the following statement on educating all children.
"During this Global Campaign for Education Action Week, AFT members are joining with teachers, parents and community organizations around the globe to speak out for the more than 60 million young people who do not have access to a basic education. They represent 10 percent of all the children in the world.
"We are raising our voices to tell the United Nations, the World Bank and our own government that we can no longer accept this. Because if we can't convince our leaders that basic education is essential for all children, we will be accepting a world in poverty, a world in conflict and a world divided.
"Last fall, people everywhere were shocked when the Taliban tried to kill a young girl on her way to school on a bus in Pakistan. Later we learned that Malala Yousafzai and others had been organizing an effort for girls' education in Pakistan. The AFT stands with Malala in her courageous call for access to school for girls. When we educate all girls and women, we will change the world."
- Visit our web page for more on AFT's support of girls' education.

The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

The CDC name for these bacteria is CRE bacteria; the CRE stands for Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae. First, what are dangerous CRE (Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae) bacteria? Simply stated, these bacteria are members of related bacterial genera that are commonly found almost everywhere in the world, often colonizing humans and animals (living in or on humans and animals mucosal surfaces, gastrointestinal tracts and on some areas on the skin). However, CRE possess a unique genetic makeup that allows the bacteria to make a component (an enzyme) that protect CRE bacteria from a powerful antibiotic - Carbapenem. The most notable genera that can share and even transfer this genetic trait to other members of the Enterobacteriaceae are E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Because these bacteria generate similar problems for patients (especially treatment difficulties) most investigators simply group them together and term them CRE bacteria. Similar types of components are termed KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) and NDM (New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase). This resistance to Carbapenem is not the only reason these bacteria are considered dangerous. The genetics of Enterobacteriaceae are complex; many genera and strains possess genetic material that codes for resistance against many types of antibiotics; unfortunately, as a strain develops resistance to an antibiotic, not only does it become resistant to that antibiotic, the genes that confer resistance to one antibiotic become linked to each other. Consequently, as different antibiotic resistance occurs, the genetic material can become linked together thus conferring antibiotic resistance to several antibiotics in a single bacterial strain. Such bacteria that are resistant to several antibiotics are considerably more dangerous to humans they may infect than are bacteria susceptible to antibiotics. As new antibiotics are introduced, they put survival pressure on bacteria. New antibiotics can pressure the bacteria to adapt to survive even the newest and powerful antibiotics; bacteria survive by allowing those few bacteria that develop stable resistance components that are genetically coded, to replicate, and then pass on genetic antibiotic resistance to other bacteria. Unfortunately, this new genetic ability is then again linked to other antibiotic resistant genetic material, thus resulting in "dangerous" bacterial strains that are resistant to many, if not all, antibiotics. That is the current situation for CRE bacteria. Keep in mind that there are strains of CRE bacteria that can fairly easily transfer genetic information to other bacterial strains that do not have multiple drug resistance, but may have the potential to be dangerous under certain circumstances (for example enterotoxigenic E. coli). Currently, the outbreak of CRE bacteria is small. However, it may not remain that way. The CDC and other researchers know that many strains of Enterobacteriaceae can be deadly and difficult to treat even without being resistant to most antibiotics (for example, E. coli 0157:H7). How much damage could E. coli do to humans if it became a CRE bacterium by genetic transfer and retained its current pathogenic characteristics? Researchers and the CDC do not want to see this happen. In addition when a patient becomes infected with a CRE bacterium, the death rate is 50%, even with multiple antibiotic treatment and supportive measures. With additional pathogenic traits (easy person to person transfer, the ability to synthesize toxins like enterotoxins) added to the ability to be resistant to most, if not all antibiotics, the bacteria could devastate large populations of people. Since there are very few drug companies developing new antibiotics, the survival advantage may tip in favor of the bacterial pathogens, not to the infected people being treated with antibiotics. Because the current CRE outbreak is small and often confined to hospital intensive care units, nursing homes, and other treatment areas where the use of new and powerful antibiotics is most frequent, the CDC has developed an attack method to keep CRE and other similar bacteria away from the general population and to reduce the "dangerous" bacteria's chances for survival and passage from these areas. The detailed method is described in the reference below and all healthcare workers are urged to participate to prevent widespread outbreaks of CRE and similar bacteria. An abbreviated version of the CDC recommendations is as follows: Summary of Prevention (of CRE infections) Strategies for Acute and Long-Term Care Facilities (CDC 2012) Core Measures for All Acute and Long-term Care Facilities 1.

THANK YOU RAPTOR JESUS, THANK YOU FOR iOS 4.2 FINALLY COMING TO MY iPAD.
New carrier settings? wtf could they have to update, they're prolly jus gonna make it harder to notice the antenna issue like they did with the last carrier update:/
I want 4.2 for my iPad
I wonder what's going to change in the land of theming, now that I've learned the ins and outs of 4.1. I hope they don't put everything in .artwork files -- no one's been able to crack that one yet.
I'm not looking forward to seeing what will be broken on my theme.
But I do hope they give us the option to turn wifi off (or when we want, like say every 15 min) when the screen goes off. Persistent wifi drains the battery pretty quickly.
Yess! I just love any day apple decides to update new stuff out there.....idk just excites me....!?! and 4.2 on ipad? is this real *pinch* Ouch!
Does anyone know if 10.6.5 fixes the sound out of the mini display port?
Can't wait to unlock my 3gs on 4.1 with 5.14.02, tired of such a sweet iPod Touch lol
Ummm the release of these items does not mean an unlock right away. Nothing that I have heard of so far.
i'm not sure if they started doing it with the newer ones
the 2010, and some late 2009, macs support audio through the mini Displayport
so unless you have one of those, you'll need to use the optical audio out
iOS 4.1 jailbreak with limera1n , I did my iPad, with it,, seems ok
my cydia home page, NOW says SHSH 4.0.1,4.0.2,4.1,"4.2b3"<-- What's that mean??
So I take it since their was a beta to 4.2 a jailbreak will be released the same day right? Since they have had all this time to figure it out right?

Well Pumps
Grainger carries the right well pump for your water table regardless of depth. Ground wells in areas boasting a stable, potable water supply near the surface call for a shallow well pump, while a deep well pump can ably draw from water tables up to several hundred feet deep. A submersible well pump can be a more effective solution for pushing greater volumes of pressurized water up from within a deep well, outperforming above-ground deep well pumps with the same size motor. Rely on Grainger to supply the right well pump for your water table.

Well Pumps Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
the pump still continues to come on every 5 minutes...
when the pressure gets down to 25, it clicks on and brings it up to 50 and cuts off.
it slowly goes back down to 25 and then kicks back on.
now, it doesn't matter if the valve is turned off or on, the pump still kicks on every 5 minutes.
sound like your pressure tank is water logged, the air space at the top of the tank is gone. So you need to completely drain the tank and let air into it. Or your air bladder is leaking, or your air volume control is not working. The other problem could be your check valve that is in the system is leaking pressure back thru the pump. Regardless you will have to drain the tank and check your air charge in the system.

Well Pump deep
Well pumps in general are rated for on off duty, you have not indicated what pump you are looking at. we do have some that will tollerate long periods of running. But as with all things like these, it will depend on the operation we would need more info..I hope this answers your question, thanks for using Grainger Ask & Answer!
Well you have a good start but we will need more info, like how fast GPM what type of power do you have. What size pipe you will be using, those kind of things... Otherwise Grainger has about 100 different pumps that would likely work.
So we would need some more info, but that being said we would have a pump that should work.
Thanks for using Grainger Ask & Answer!
cold/freezing weather pump
Our growing chicken population will require water all winter (we carried gallons of water last year, which isn't fun at all).
It is a very good question, this is a question that will require a simple answer: No there is not a pump that you can install above ground and will work below freezing. You can however freeze protect with enclosures and Freeze protection tape and insulation.You can wrap the pump with freeze protection tape and the line with the same stuff. The only draw back is if you lose power you will loose your pump and lines.
I hope this answers your question, thanks for using Grainger Ask & Answer!
2 phase submersible water well pump
Well, that is a good question do you mean 2 wire or 3 wire submersible (2 wire will have 2 or 3 wires & no control panel). a 3 wire will have (3 or 4 wires and a control panel) from there you can see on page 3927 the different pumps.
I hope this answers your question, thanks for using Grainger Ask & Answer!
I live on a hill high enough not to get water pressure. Is there an accessory I could use to provide a "well" for a deep well pump for this purpose?
Before we could answer that we would need more information like, how deep is the well? how many bathrooms in the house? when you say pumping up hill how high from the well head to the house in feet of elevation? When you say I need to replace pipe, what size is the pipe? All of these questions need to be answered before we could make a reccomendation. You can call Grainger at 800-472-4643 and ask to speak with technical support Pumps & plumbing.
I hope this answers your question, thanks for using Grainger Ask & Answer!

Everton Under-21s missed the chance to go third in the table by slipping to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers on Monday afternoon.
Bruno Ribeiro's 75th-minute strike was the difference in an otherwise even contest at Finch Farm, with Conor Grant cancelling out Hallam Hope's own goal just before half-time.
It was a mixture of youth and experience once again for Alan Stubbs' side as the allowed quota of overage players was utilised with Sylvain Distin, Thomas Hitzlsperger and Jan Mucha all featuring.
With several of his usual second-string youngsters away on international duty, Stubbs was also forced to bring in players from the Under-18s side.
Apostolos Vellios, John Lundstram, Johan Hammar and Matthew Kennedy had all departed with their respective nations and in came Conor Grant and Gethin Jones.
The duo started either side of Hitzlsperger and Francisco Junior in midfield, while Distin partnered Shane Duffy at the back.
Mucha kept goal with Tyias Browning and Ibou Touray in the full-back roles, and Magaye Gueye playing just off Hallam Hope in attack.
The Blues started the contest brightly, with Gueye, Grant and Hope all going close in the early stages.
At the other end, Jones was alert to put in a vital block to deny a Rovers' effort on goal, as both sides enjoyed good passing in possession.
It took a stroke of ill fortune for the opener to arrive, as an in-swinging Blackburn corner came through a sea of bodies in the box on 24 minutes.
The ball emerged unkindly for Blues striker Hallam Hope, guarding the far-post, and the pace allowed no chance to react as it cannoned off his knee and into the net.
Paulo Jorge almost grabbed a second for the visitors with a first-time curling effort that had Mucha diving at full stretch. Meanwhile, Gueye and Hitzlsperger both went close from set-pieces.
On 42 minutes, Everton conjured up a more fluid move to invent an equaliser.
Junior tricked his man by pretending to shoot and instead shifted his feet to feed a perfect pass into the surging run of Grant. The youngster put his left foot through the ball and past Grzegorz Sandomierski to make it 1-1 before the break.
The second half lacked a lot of the urgency in the opening 15 minutes, but the hour-mark signalled a return to action for left-back Luke Garbutt.
The 19-year-old had been sidelined with an ankle injury sustained shortly after making his first-team debut in the Capital One Cup against Leyton Orient, but he replaced Touray to get 30 minutes under his belt.
Almost immediately, the Blues carved out the first real chance of the second period, as Jones beat the advancing Sandomierski to the ball and his header looped toward an open goal. The move was thwarted however, as a retreating Rovers defender got back in the nick of time to clear.
Elsewhere, Duffy went close to adding to his impressive haul for the season so far on three occassions, with a succession of headers going agonisingly close.
The centre-half was on hand at the other end too, making a last-ditch save with his head to prevent the visitors regaining the lead - albeit momentarily.
On 75 minutes, Bruno Ribeiro jinked and jived inside the Blues' penalty area to carve space to shoot - and the forward rattled his effort in off the right-hand post.
Stubbs' side fought in vain for another equaliser, with Garbutt trying an effort on his weaker foot, but the referee's final whistle signalled the end of a frustrating afternoon.
The result leaves the Under-21s sixth in the table, with only three points separating them from third.
Next up is a home fixture against Reading on Sunday 18 November.

The second Bombardier CSeries CS100 flight-test vehicle returned to the air on September 7 after more than a three-month hiatus. FTV2 took off at 6:10 p.m.
Santiago, Chile-based Aerocardal Limitada is the first service provider in Latin America to be accepted into the Air Elite Network. Aerocardal, an FBO with its own tank farm and fuel trucks, is now World Fuel Services' preferred ground handler and fuel distributor for business aviation at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. Its newly renovated facility, which is open 24/7, has a 7,700-sq-ft terminal, one of the largest in Latin America.
Calgary-based WestJet Encore signed a firm order for five Bombardier Q400s in late July, raising its order total for the type to 30. The latest deal, valued at $167 million, involved the conversion of five options booked by parent company WestJet with its original order for the type in July 2012. Plans call for the airplanes to help support WestJet's expansion into the eastern part of Canada, where it currently operates a base out of Toronto.
Atlantic Aviation has completed a $1.325 million renovation of its ramp at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, one of the service provider's top three busiest bases. The 16-acre project was intended to upgrade its McCarran ramp to recognized standards. It addressed leveling issues and repaired distressed areas with a covering of new asphalt. An existing drainage ditch was filled in to accommodate additional aircraft parking and a new drainage system was installed during the course of the project's two phases, which took three weeks in total to complete.
Japan's Amakusa Airlines expects to become the country's first ATR 42 operator under the terms of a lease deal it signed in late July with Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC). The letter of intent calls for the Kumamoto Prefecture-based regional airline to take the aircraft, a new ATR 42-600, in the fourth quarter of next year. The announcement followed NAC's firm order at the Farnborough airshow for 25 ATR 42-600s. NAC also took options on 50 of the turboprops, raising the potential value of the deal to more than $1.55 billion.
When the FAA implemented more rigorous minimum standards (the "1,500-hour ATP" rule) for airline first officers last year, many in the industry expressed concern about a shortage of pilots meeting the requirement. Under the new regulation first officers must hold an ATP certificate, which requires 1,500 hours total time. Previously, first officers were required to have only a commercial pilot certificate, which requires just 250 hours of flight time.
Aurigny Air Services plans to start new service between its base in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and London City Airport on September 8, starting with a wet-leased Fokker 50 turboprop. Plans call for two round trips each week with the Fokker for four to eight weeks, at which time Aurigny expects to start flying a newly sourced ATR on the route.
Authorities at the Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority in Indiana have approved a contract to construct a new $4 million FBO facility at Fort Wayne International Airport. Set for completion late next year, the new 12,000-sq-ft facility will eventually supplant the current Atlantic Aviation facility, destined for removal when the service provider's lease expires in January 2016 to make room for expansion of the airline terminal. The airport has yet to determine whether it will operate the new facility itself or bring in an established service provider to manage it under contract.
Indianapolis-based Republic Airways plans to consolidate its Chautauqua Airlines operation into its Shuttle America subsidiary in an effort to cut costs through a reduction of its air operator certificates to two from three. Company CEO Bryan Bedford sent a letter to employees in late July announcing the company's intention to migrate Chautauqua's 41 fifty-seat Embraer ERJ-145s to Shuttle America by year-end.
PS Engineering has added "IntelliAudio" dimensional sound to its new PMA450 audio panel. Based on research conducted by the U.S. Air Force's Wright Patterson Air Force Laboratory and licensed by PS Engineering, IntelliAudio allows the pilot to select where various audio inputs will sound as though they are coming from in the headset. For example, com 1 and 2 can be set in any of nine separate positions, so each audio source sounds separate and unique.

text: The Atlanta Braves will soon say goodbye to Turner Field. The team announced Monday morning that they plan to build a brand new facility in Cobb County, where they hope to open the 2017 season. The Marietta Daily Journal first reported the Braves plans announce the move on Monday. The Braves officially confirmed the move Monday morning when they launched HomeoftheBraves.com. The website gives extensive details on the team's plans to build a stadium at the intersection of Interstates 75 and 285 in Cobb County. The site will be a combination of the new ballpark and mixed-use development and parking areas.Aerial images from above the site detail the location of the planned venue. The total cost of the new stadium, along with parking and related infrastructure, is roughly $672 million. The Braves say they will be a significant investor, along with Cobb County, in the project. The Braves' 20-year agreement at Turner Field expires at the end of the 2016 season. The team says construction is set to begin in the second half of 2014. During construction, they say more than 5,227 jobs will be supported with a total payroll of more than $235 million.The team says they "have begun the process to build a new stadium with hopes that the Braves will open the doors to a new world-class ballpark by Opening Day 2017, and we will begin the latest chapter in our history." The team has called the city of Atlanta home for nearly 50 years. The new facility will feature entertainment options, green space and "a place to go 365 days a year." The team went into further detail about their plans during a press conference at Turner Field on Monday morning. They say they have mixed feelings about leaving the downtown Atlanta area, but are excited about their new facility being surrounded by an entertainment district-- something they didn't get downtown. Officials also said there will be better access to mass transit and parking, which will help them create a destination. Team officials say they met with Mayor Kasim Reed last Thursday to deliver the news of their decision, and they added that Reed was "not pleased."The new stadium will not be known as Turner Field, and team officials confirmed they'll be searching for a new naming rights partner. The stadium will be owned by the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority, which now owns the Cobb Galleria Centre and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The Braves will handle the day-to-day oversight of the stadium. Why are the Braves leaving the place fans lovingly know as "The Ted?" Their lease expires in 2016, and the team says on the new website that they needed to find a long-term solution to keep the Braves in metro Atlanta for the long haul. The team says Turner Field needs $150 million in infrastructure work to do things like replacing seats, repairing and upgrading lighting-- but none of which would significantly enhance the experience for fans. The new site, the team says, will provide enhanced connectivity, increased access to major roads and more parking."Our vision for the future is grand," said Braves president John Schuerholz in a video posted on the new website. "The new stadium site will be one of the most magnificent in all of baseball."

Futures flat on fiscal cliff deal hopes
Apple shares fell earlier to below $500 after a Citigroup downgrade.
U.S. equity futures were flat in early premarket trading as politicians continue to work toward a budget deal. Over the weekend, House Majority Leader Boehner reportedly proposed a bill that includes tax hikes for the rich. However, it is likely that the democratic leaders will reject the proposal and that no deal will be reached before the Christmas break.
In other news, the Liberal Democratic Party won the elections for Japan's Parliament, paving the way for expected Prime Minister-to-be Shinzo Abe to rewrite the Bank of Japan's mandate, pushing for stronger monetary easing and more fiscal stimulus.
Xinhua news reported overnight that the People's Bank of China will be open to further monetary stimulus in the new year. Over the weekend, China increased the amount that sovereign wealth funds and large investors could invest directly in the nation, a move to further open financial markets.
The eurozone trade balance was reported as a surplus of 7.9 billion euros in September, missing estimates of a surplus of 10.8 billion and below August's reading of 11.0 billion euros.
- S&P 500 futures rose 1.25 points to 1,413.58.
- The EUR/USD was lower at 1.3151.
- Spanish 10-year government bond yields rose to 5.418%.
- Italian 10-year government bond yields fell to 4.558%.
- Gold fell 0.32% to $1,691.50 per ounce.
Commodities were lower in overnight trade on global growth fears despite the positive news from Japan. WTI crude futures fell 0.14% to $86.61 per barrel and Brent crude futures fell 0.24% to $107.93 per barrel. Copper futures fell 0.41% to $366.80 in tandem with the weakness in China. Gold was lower and silver futures dropped 0.17% to $32.25 per ounce.
Currency markets were in flux overnight as the yen gapped higher at the open by nearly 100 pips but has since sold off and now remains near unchanged. The EUR/USD was lower at 1.3151 and the dollar was higher against the yen at 83.71. Overall, the Dollar Index rose 0.04% on strength against the yen, the euro, and the Swedish krone.
Premarket movers
Stocks moving in the premarket included:
- Apple (AAPL) shares fell nearly 2% and below $500 for the first time since February after Citigroup downgraded the shares to "neutral" over the weekend. The stock fell with suppliers in Asian trade.
- Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) shares rose 1.18% in the premarket as investors became bullish over the increased share buyback program. Last week, the company announced it has bought back nearly $1.2 billion in shares and increased the premium for buybacks to 120% of book value per share.
- AIG (AIG) shares rose 1.8% premarket following the exit of the government from its stake in the insurer last week.
- Intel (INTC) shares rose 0.06% premarket as the company forecast a strong computer market in 2013.
On the economics calendar Monday, the Empire Manufacturing Index and TIC flows are due out and the Federal Reserve's Lacker is set to speak on the state of the economy and ECB President Draghi is also set to speak. In addition, the Treasury is expected to auction four-week, three-month, six-month, and two-year bills and notes.

Ever Wonder Why The Calendar Isn't Always Perfect?
A committee of approximately 28 individuals work together to create 3 years' worth of calendars for Jordan School District. A calendar is only submitted to the Board of Education after the Committee has worked on it for 3 years. Committee members include parents from every area and level of the District representing elementary, middle and high, teachers from every level who work in a year round and traditional setting, classified employees, and certificated employees with employee group representation, and administration from the school and District level.
This Committee works together to navigate through the following laws and policies that govern how a calendar is developed within any given year:
- Utah State Board Rule – Traditional: R277-419-4
LEAs shall conduct school for at least 990 instructional hours and 180 school days each school year.
- Utah State Board Rule – Year-Round: R277-419-8
A school using a modified 45 day 15 day year round schedule initiated prior to July 1, 1995 shall be considered to be in compliance with this rule if a school's schedule includes a minimum of 990 hours of instruction time in a minimum of 172 days.
- District Policy D207 – Calendar Development
- The year-round school and traditional calendars will be developed according to the following guidelines:
- Each fall, three school calendars shall be presented to the Board of Education—final calendar for the coming school year, and tentative calendars for the next two successive years.
- Student attendance days will not be scheduled between Independence Day and Pioneer Day on the modified 45-15 year-round school calendar.
- Dates for beginning and ending the traditional school year shall be determined in relationship to Labor Day and Memorial Day.
- Labor Day and Memorial Day will be a school recess days.
- There will be a two (2)-day Fall Recess scheduled in October.
- Thanksgiving Recess shall be two (2) days, Thanksgiving Day (Thursday) and Friday, and may include Wednesday before Thanksgiving, when possible.
- A Winter Recess shall be scheduled and will include December 25 and January 1 as recess days.
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be a school recess day.
- Washington and Lincoln Day will be a school recess day unless a school closure necessitates scheduling a make-up day on Washington and Lincoln Day. Washington and Lincoln Day will be the first make-up day scheduled, followed by Spring Recess days, if necessary.
- Spring Recess in year-round schools will be a minimum of one (1) day—and three (3) days, when possible, including Good Friday, unless school closures necessitate scheduling more than one make-up day or a school closure occurs after Washington and Lincoln Day. Spring Recess in traditional schools will be three (3) days including Good Friday unless school closures necessitate scheduling more than one make-up day or a school closure occurs after Washington and Lincoln Day.
- Grade Transmittal Days
(1) Year-round elementary schools will schedule grade transmittal days to support track changes.
(2) Grade transmittal days in traditional schools will be the first school day after each quarter ends for the first three quarters of the school year.
- Where possible, the minimum week will be three days or more.
- Parent-Teacher Conferences will be scheduled as follows:
(1) The dates for Parent-Teacher Conferences will be scheduled by each year-round elementary school within the timeframe determined by the Year-round Committee.
(2) Traditional elementary school conferences will be scheduled mid-November and mid-March on dates determined by the District Calendar Committee.
(3) Secondary school conferences will be scheduled mid-first quarter and mid-third quarter on dates determined by the District Calendar Committee.
(4) The Friday following Parent-Teacher Conferences will be a non-work day in traditional schools.
- Emergency closure days:
(1) Emergency closures in year-round schools will be made up first on Washington and Lincoln Day and next during Spring Recess, and finally at the end of the school year.
(2) Emergency closures in traditional schools will be made up first on Washington and Lincoln Day and next during Spring Recess.
(3) Make-up days for emergency closures occurring after Spring Recess shall be scheduled on an individual school basis.
- School calendar approval will occur in the fall each year.
- The year-round school and traditional calendars will be developed according to the following guidelines:
Challenging Calendar Years
This same calendar configuration repeats as follows:
- 2014-15 (eleven years later)
- 2025-26 (eleven years later)
- 2036-37 (six years later)
- 2042-43 (eleven years later)
- 2053-54 (eleven years later)
- 2064-65 (six years later)
- 2070-71 (eleven years later)
- 2081-82 (eleven years later)
- Possible Solutions to the difficult calendar years:
- Start the school year on Friday, July 25
- Work December 24th
- Return from Winter Recess on Friday, January 2
Calendar Development Considerations
The traditional and year-round calendars are developed in compliance with Policy D207.
In addition to the policy, there are many requests received through the educational community that the committee considers. It is impossible to meet all requests and comply with policy, however, the committee works to accommodate as many as possible. Listed below are some examples of requests the committee considers:
- Don't start school too early in the fall because of lack of air conditioning in some schools.
- Don't go too late into June because it has an adverse effect on summer employment and vacations; also, because of lack of air conditioning.
- Consider starting earlier for traditional schools to help the AP programs in the secondary schools. The national exams have been set earlier in May the last few years which necessitates having as much time to prepare for the exams as possible.
- Start school after Labor Day and end before Memorial Day.
- Try to avoid scheduling parent/teacher conferences on Jewish Holy Days and on Ash Wednesday (beginning of Lent).
- Don't schedule secondary parent/teacher conferences too early in the fall. This can be a problem especially with high schools on the block schedule.
- Don't schedule elementary/middle and high parentteacher conferences on the same weeks.
- Driver Education teachers have asked that there be no fewer than 43 days in any quarter.
- Try to schedule the same number of days in each semester, if possible.
- Try to avoid any midweek track changes in yearround school.
- Try to end all yearround tracks on Fridays.
- Don't schedule "B" track offtrack more than 3 weeks prior to Winter Recess.
- Don't schedule "A" track offtrack more than 3 weeks following Winter Recess.
- Try to schedule all offtrack times for three weeks.
- Try to avoid starting yearround school until at least July 26th.
- Try to schedule Winter Recess and Spring Recess the same days in yearround and traditional calendars.
- Try to give traditional schools a longer Winter Recess and a longer Spring Recess.
- Try to schedule all Grade Transmittal days on Fridays.

Destiny's Q & A
Favorite Movie/Actor
Leonardo Decaprio or Will Smith
Go-to karaoke song
I only karaoke in my car hehe
My first job
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
I have 7 tattoos actually - very small ones. I have one behind my neck, my zodiac symbol which is libra. Then behind my ear I have my sister who passed away initials in her handwriting. Then on my left wrist I have the word inspire in white ink and on my right wrist I have a small star. Then on my right hip bone I have my favorite word Risk. Then on my right ankle I have a peace sign, then on my left inner foot on the arch I have in Thai language "Crossed the sky to find true love". I only have my ears pierced once. I am not big on piercings. I used to have my belly button pierced but it got on my nerves, you could see it through my clothes and it caught on stuff.
Mac or PC?
Mac all the way!!!! I love my MAC. I also carry an iPad in my purse everywhere I go - I love Apple.
Nintendo, Xbox 360, PS3, or don't game?
Actually believe it or not, in my teen years I was a total computer game junkie. I played Everquest and Diablo on a daily basis. I know if I started again I wouldn't be able to stop.
What fun fact, talent or superpower of yours should guys know about?
Well I hear I have this signature "look" I give - some call it the Destiny "look". I am not sure what it looks like or what it does to people but I hear its sexy ;) Beware!!!!
What's the most memorable pick up line you've ever heard?
Your my Destiny.....(with a big cheesy grin) Right, I know my name is Destiny and EVERY guy uses the same pick up line.. kills me every time.
What's in your purse or pocket right now?
I have my iPad, perfume (I LOVE smelling good), lipsticks, sunglasses and my wallet! I am super organized so I know everything thats in my bag and exactly where it is. I don't carry things in my pockets!
What do you feel most comfortable wearing?
T-shirt and panties. I just feel free!!! When I get home thats what I change to right away. I also like to put my hair in a bun on the very top of my head - I look like a little china doll. But I feel most comfortable and myself!
Would you rather have boring sex all the time or an amazing romp once a year?
Is this seriously a question???... really??... I hope everyone is thinking the same thing I am thinking..
If you could do a shot of Jose Cuervo with anyone -- dead or alive -- who would it be?
Angelina Jolie - she seems pretty fun.

(Reuters) - The Sacramento Kings fired coach Paul Westphal on Thursday after opening the season with a disappointing 2-5 record.
Tensions on the team have mounted as the losses increased and a dispute between Westphal and center DeMarcus Cousins festered.
"Unfortunately, the overall performance level of the team has not approached what we felt was reasonable to expect," Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie said in a statement.
Current Kings assistant coach Keith Smart was to serve as head coach in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Petrie said.
In two-plus seasons, Westphal compiled a 51-120 record with the Kings, going 25-57 in 2010 and 24-58 last season as they missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year.
The Kings were expected to improve this season and perhaps challenge for a playoff spot but instead sit in the cellar of the Pacific Division.
They opened the campaign with an upset of the Los Angeles Lakers, but have since suffered lopsided losses to Portland, Chicago, New York, Memphis and Denver with their only other victory coming against New Orleans.
Cousins did not play in the New Orleans game after Westphal questioned the center's commitment to the Kings and told him to skip the game.
The coach also said Cousins, a former first-round pick, had demanded to be traded, something Cousins later denied.
Westphal, who previously coached the Phoenix Suns and Seattle SuperSonics, had not been an NBA head coach since 2001 when hired by the Kings in 2009.
"I would like to thank the Maloof family (Kings owners) for the incredible opportunity they gave me to participate in the attempt to bring the Sacramento Kings back to prominence," Westphal said. "While the job is far from finished, I am proud of the strides we were able to make."
