The road from San Isidro/Sebaco to Telica/Leon is in very good condition. And that's a good thing, as there is no other decent road that cuts across to the west coast without going around Lake Managua or going up through Honduras. From Telica, the roads north and south are all very good.
The road from Leon to Poneloya/Las Penitas is brand new and in excellent condition.
The road south to from Leon is in very good condition for the first 26 kilometers. At this point, you need to decide where you want to go next. The road to the left as well as the road straight ahead will both take you to Managua. Straight ahead is what is called (in Managua) the Old Road to Leon, and the road to the left is called the New Road to Leon. The old road is in very poor condition, but this is the way you need to go if you want to go to Puerto Sandino, or if you want to get to places like Montelimar or Masachapa without going to Managua first. The old road at the Managua end is not as bad as the Leon end, but it is also in poor condition.
The road to Puerto Sandino - also in very poor condition with lots of potholes and broken pavement. Apparently, they had constructed a new brick road from Puerto Sandino to Miramar (and beyond?), but they either did it without any compaction of the bed, or they did it on top of saturated ground. My guess is that they just got finished when a big truck put ruts in it up to 2 feet deep in places. One place was so bad that it looked like an earthquake had buckled it. I would not try to take a car through here.
Back at the left turn to the New Road to Leon, this road heads northeast toward Lake Managua and Momotombo, and is in very good condition. After about 10 kilometers, before the road turns southeast along the lake, there is a small town called La Paz Centro. From there, there is a road to the left that goes to the Momotombo Reserve and to Old Leon/Puerto Momotombo. This is a brick road in good condition all the way to Old Leon/Puerto Motombo (Puerto Momotombo more or less surrounds the ruins of Old Leon).
When I left Old Leon, I had to decide if I wanted to back-track to the main Managua to Leon highway and through Leon to go back to Matagalpa, or take the dirt road shortcut north to Malpaisillo. The dirt road was about 25 km and was actually pretty good for a dirt road. It cut about 55 kilometers off the trip, and took, and probably saved about 20 minutes. Or I should say it could have saved about 20 minutes, but the road passes directly under/in front of the volcano El Hoyo (The Hole), so I had to stop a lot for pictures. As I said, the road is in good condition for a dirt road. Just watch out for the speed bumps at every school along the way (there are many). Being a dirt road, the bumps are completely without markings and are difficult to see until it is too late.

The Mommy Diet: Tips and Tricks for Trying To Conceive
BabyZone chatted with Alison Sweeney, author of The Mommy Diet and The Biggest Loser host, as well as a couple of her healthy-living pros, rounding up some helpful hints for women looking to be as healthy as possible while TTC.
Focus on Reaching a Healthy Weight
Despite what mama may have told you about it "only taking that one time," many couples can tell you the process of getting pregnant isn't often quite so easy. Meg Werner Moreta, a registered dietician and contributor to The Mommy Diet, notes that maintaining a healthy weight is key. "Being at a reasonable body weight can be helpful in conceiving," says Moreta, who served as the nutritionist on Oxygen's Dance Your Ass Off. "Some people may struggle with conceiving if their weight is a little bit too high."
Let's Get Physical
And, no, we're not just suggesting that kind of physical (although, it doesn't hurt). Cardio exercise helps build up your endurance for being pregnant. Sweeney admits she loves to run, an exercise she tried to get out of her system before each pregnancy, and then resumed afterwards. "There's something about running that I really enjoy and that's something that I think you really shouldn't do while you're pregnant," she says. "I get it out before and after." For exercise that's lower impact but great for building endurance (and getting the blood flowing), consider walking or yoga.
Clean Up Your Diet, Now
In her book, Sweeney emphasizes that getting your act together, both nutritionally and through exercise, before you get pregnant can help you get some semblance of your pre-baby body back sooner after pregnancy. Moreta agrees that eating right beforehand is equally as important as watching your intake while you have a bun in the oven. "You're really trying to get rid of all of what I call the 'non-nutritional' foods, so getting rid of anything that's refined like white flour, sugar, caffeine," says Moreta. "Really get that out of your diet and start working on eating a really healthy diet, because that's what you want to transition into once you become pregnant. Most women don't know that they are pregnant anywhere from six to eight weeks." (Read more tips for developing healthy preconception habits.)
Eliminate Refined Foods—It's Easier Than You Think
For many of us, stopping to think about how much white flour, sugar, and caffeine we consume daily may be a truly eye-opening experience, leading one to wonder how on earth they can be eliminated without spiraling into a headache-inducing body shock. Moreta's suggested method makes the process sound much simpler: "What I usually tell people to do is really start focusing on eating more fruits and vegetables. If you get just the minimum of five a day, which is two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables, automatically you're going to start cutting out other calories because you're going to be more full because of the fiber and [because] certain vegetables have fluid."

Bruce Willis and "A Good Day to Die Hard" are winning the President's Day weekend box office, but it's no runaway and two over-achieving female-skewing movies -- "Safe Haven" and "Identity Thief" -- nearly stole the show.
Search: Yet another 'Die Hard' in Willis' future?
The fifth installment in the "Die Hard" action franchise, and the first in more than five years, is on track to make an estimated $39 million over the five days since it opened on Thursday. That's about what the distributor Fox had projected, though more bullish industry analysts had predicted it would hit $50 million. It took in roughly $25 million between Friday and Sunday. That was less than the $33 million three-day haul taken in by "Live Free or Die Hard" in 2007, but enough to give it the edge over last week's No. 1 movie, "Identity Thief," which was running second.
Also on TheWrap: What Does Seth MacFarlane's Twitter Account Tell Us About How He'll Host the Oscars?
While older males were driving the "Die Hard" sequel, Universal's R-rated Melissa McCarthy-Jason Bateman comedy showed real staying power and was running second. It took in $23.4 million over the three days, just a 32 percent drop from its first week, and it is looking at more than $27 million for the four days, which will bring its domestic total to around $75 million.
"Safe Haven," the Nicolas Sparks adaptation starring Josh Duhamel and Juliette Hough and directed by Lasse Halstrom, was in third at $21.5 million between Friday and Sunday. Its four-day haul will be around $25 million. With its $9 million Valentine's Day debut added, the Relativity romance's total for the five days will be an impressive $34 million – nearly $10 million over analysts' projections.
Hough plays a mysterious young woman who lands in the small town of Southport, N.C. and finds romance before a dark secret from her past surfaces. Not surprisingly, 71 percent of the "Safe Haven" audience was female, and 68 percent was under 25 years of age.
The strong strong showing by "Safe Haven" cut into the grosses for "Beautiful Creatures," which also debuted Thursday and likewise targets female audiences. Alcon Entertainment's supernatural romance was running a disappointing sixth with $7.6 million between Friday and Sunday and is looking at a five-day total of around $11 million. That's just over half the total that analysts has predicted for the film, which distributor Warner Bros. had hoped would tap into the young "Twilight" crowd.
Both "A Good Day to Die Hard" and "Safe Haven" were beat up by the critics but earned a B+ grade from audiences, according to Cinemascore. "Beautiful Creatures" received a B grade.
The weekend's other wide opener, the Weinstein Company's 3D computer-animated "Escape From Planet Earth," was fourth and will take in around $16 million over the three days. The reviews have been poor and it wasn't heavily promoted, but "Escape" is the first animated feature to hit the market this year. With kids out of school Monday it should hit $21 million for the five days. The voices of Brendan Fraser, Jessica Alba, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rob Corddry and William Shatner are featured.
The zombie romantic comedy "Warm Bodies" was fifth. It will have a three-day total of $9 million in its third week of release for Summit Entertainment and is on pace for $10.6 million for the long weekend, which would up its domestic total to nearly $52 million. Then came "Beautiful Creatures" and Open Road Films' pharmaceutical thriller "Side Effects," which will take in $6.3 million over the three days and should finish $7.7 million over four days.
Weinstein's "Silver Linings Playbook" is poised to become the sixth Best Picture Oscar nominee to cross the $100 million mark after adding about $6 million between Friday and Sunday and raising its domestic total to $98.4 million. The other Best Picture nominees in the $100 million club at the box office are "Lincoln," "Django Unchained," "Les Miserables," "Argo" and "Life of Pi."
Rounding out the top ten was "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," which will take in $3.4 million over the three days and is looking at $4.1 million for the four days, and Sony's "Zero Dark Thirty." Director Kathryn Bigelow's Best Picture Oscar nominee will bring in $3.1 million and now has a domestic total of $88 million.
The opening for "Good Day to Die Hard" breaks a downer trend for aging action stars. Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" and Sylvester Stallone's "Bullet to the Head" both tanked last month. It was in a market-high 3,553 locations, including 302 Imax screens, which brought in $4.25 million.
"Good Day," in which Willis reprises his John McClane role and travels to Moscow to battle terrorists, also debuted overseas in more than 40 markets this weekend.
Here are the top 10 movies at the box office
"Good Day to Die Hard," $25 million
"Identity Thief," $23.4 million
"Safe Haven," $21.4 million
"Escape From Planet Earth," $16 million
"Warm Bodies," $9 million
"Beautiful Creatures," $7.4 million
"Side Effects," $6.3 million
"Silver Linings Playbook," $6 million
"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," $3.4 million
"Zero Dark Thirty," $3.1 million

From shortformblog:
Oh, Erin Burnett … The other night, the CNN host had a segment on gun control which seemed to push pretty hard on the idea that video games are the cause of school shootings — despite the fact that her guest disagreed with her. But the big problem with the clip is this: She spends the first couple of minutes of the clip talking about how much Obama's gun control legislation might cost gun companies and how it might cost people jobs. But you could say that about new regulations in any industry! How much will more strident regulation of movies and video games cost those industries, Erin? And those products are protected by an amendment, too — the First Amendment. No matter your opinion on violent games, the way the show sets gaming up for the fall here is simply tacky. (ht Polygon)
A while back, I posted a (very crude) statistical analysis of the relationship between gun ownership and gun deaths. Obviously, we should consider all factors (mental health, media influence, etc.) to have a more nuanced picture of what steps we could take to reduce gun deaths in our society.
But it does seem odd to simultaneously argue that regulations on guns would be an undue burden on the gun industry and gun owners, but then argue for tighter regulations on video game or other media industries and their consumers. Particularly without presenting any evidence to suggest that these are linked to violence in any scientific way. It also seems odd to simultaneously argue that the government is "overreaching" if it looks to reform gun ownership regulations, but then call for that same government to impose similarly onerous restrictions on some other aspect of social life.
Here's a thought: Why doesn't someone gather evidence on public consumption rates of "violent" media (video games, movies, music, etc.) across countries and compare those to gun violence? Because I'm guessing (I have no evidence) that there's probably little or no statistical relationship. After all, we live in a global society and young people across the world play violent video games, watch violent movies, and listen to music that praises violence. Unless we consume more of these kinds of media than Germans, Brazilians, Russians, and others, it's hard to see how games like Call of Duty or Halo cause Americans to commit violence, but not our counterparts. A while back, a reporter for The Washington Post crunched some numbers, and found no relationship between video games and violence. Although, not surprisingly, the United States was a significant outlier.
Yes, the Washington Post story only looked at 10 countries (not a very robust sample size). But if you're going to argue for massive restrictions on media industry—particularly if it may infringe on First Amendment rights—I expect convincing evidence to demonstrate that the alleged cause of gun violence is, in fact, a significant causal factor. There's overwhelming evidence that gun ownership rates are significantly related to gun violence. It seems, therefore, to make more sense to figure out how to balance public safety with Second Amendment rights, rather than looking for ways to scapegoat (without any empirical evidence) some other industry.

White Region I Player of the Week
September 13, 2005
Olympia, WA - Senior forward Alisha White was named the Cascade Collegiate Conference Player of the Week, and NAIA Region I Player of the Week for her four goal, four assist effort against Cascade College this past weekend.
White is Evergreen's leading scorer for the year with six goals and four assists in four games.
Evergreen is off to it's best start in years as the Geoducks are undefeated in four games including a 3-1 win over NCAA Division II Central Washington University and a 2-0 win over local rival Pacific Lutheran University.
The Geoducks have outscored their opponents 22-1 on the season and junior goalkeeper Carly Stewart and the Evergreen defense have shut out three of four opponents.
The Geoducks return to action this weekend as they host conference rivals Albertson College on Friday and Eastern Oregon University on Saturday. Albertson has also started the season quickly winning five of their first six games after winning only once last season. Eastern Oregon took Evergreen to overtime in both of the team's two meetings last season.

Using the Long Wavelength Specrometer aboard ISO, we have detected far infrared rotational H2O emission lines in five low-mass young stellar objects in a survey of seven such sources. The total H2O fluxes are well correlated with the 1.3 mm continuum fluxes, but - surprisingly - not with the SiO millimeter emission originating in the outflows, suggesting that the water emission arises in the circumstellar envelopes rather than in the outflows. In two of the sources, NGC1333-IRAS4 and IRAS16293-2422, we measured about ten H2O lines, and used their fluxes to put stringent constraints on the physical conditions (temperature, density and column density) of the emitting gas. Simple LVG modelling implies that the emission originates in a very small ( ~ 200 AU), dense (≥ 107) cm-3) and warm ( ~ 100 K) region, with a column density larger than about 1016 cm-2. The detected H2O emission may be well accounted for by thermal emission from a collapsing envelope, and we derive constraints on the accretion rate and central mass of NGC1333-IRAS4. We also discuss an alternative scenario in which the H2O emission arises in an extremely dense shock very close to the central object, perhaps caused by the interaction of the outflow with the inner regions of the circumstellar envelope.

Linear Air Forms Eclipse 500 Support Co-op
With VLJ manufacturer Eclipse Aviation facing Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings, an organization is needed to provide support to owners of the 259 Eclipse 500 jets in the field. Bill Herp, CEO of charter operator Linear Air, which has four Eclipse 500s in its fleet, yesterday launched Eclipse Services and Support, a co-operative organization made up of Eclipse owners that plans to buy assets from the liquidation sale to help keep Eclipse 500s in service. If the co-operative can purchase the right assets from Eclipse, such as the type certificate and other intellectual property, it could help owners obtain parts and upgrades at reasonable prices. The co-op would be structured so that Eclipse-owner members would obtain support for their jets at the cost of operating the co-op, thus keeping prices down. "I think the fact that it is structured as a co-operative gives it the potential to most efficiently offer to the customer base the most cost-effective way to get their aircraft upgraded," Herp said. "The notion of creating a co-operative funded by owners seems to resonate," he said.

Photography Workshops
I get many emails asking me if I offer photography workshops and the answer remains the same. No.
This September I was in Jasper National Park taking photos near the outlet of the Maligne River on Medicine Lake. I had been up before the sun and trying to get a morning shot of the kind of yellow foliage while the light was low on the sky.
After a couple of hours when the sun had risen too high for my liking, I headed back to the Rav. Just as I was climbing up the embankment to get to the highway, I could hear a vehicle stop. That was unusual because there wasn't any roadside pullout where I was parked and the first thing that comes to mind is vandalism.
So, I rushed up hill and what should I see but three adults get out of a vehicle. The two older people, it looked like a husband and wife had cameras. The youngest of the group, a bearded man in his early thirties, I am guessing was talking to them. I wasn't paying attention to them as I got my breath back and loaded my gear into my vehicle.
The couple pointed their cameras through the trees towards Medicine Lake and snapped a few frames. Without exploring any further they got into their van and headed off.
Was this a photography workshop or tour? From the body language of the small group, it definitely didn't seem like the people were friends. Things seemed a bit formal or quiet.
I didn't give it much thought other than that if photography was the purpose of the couples trip and not sight seeing, they weren't getting their moneys worth.
So I got to thinking, what would I want from a photography workshop? Depending experience, we all have different needs. What would I want in a workshop if I was new to photography?
I think I would want to see my instructor taking photos. Choosing lenses, angle, light, etc. and be explaining the whys and wherefores while I shot along with him or her.
You really can learn a lot by studying someones photos. Much more than you might imagine. There is also much more that you can learn and so much quicker by seeing the photographer work.
When I took a two year photography course back in the seventies, a part of the course was work experience. This was where we spent time with an established photographer for a little while. Classrooms and books teach can only teach so much theory. To see someone put that theory into practice is a perfect complement to the books. It fills in the blanks.
Unless the guide the couple I saw that September morning was a tour guide only, I would have been disappointed for the services being supplied. If he was only a tour guide, he was doing an average guide. Any one can drive alongside the highway and stop. Save yourselves a few hundred dollars on the guiding and get some prints made or something like that.
There is a very funny thread going on over at another landscape photography blog this week. A case of the pot calling the kettle black. It's all to do with someone criticizing the photos from a photography workshop. The blog owner, also the teacher of the workshop was clever, err, kind enough to post a link to the person critical of the photographs. It turns out that he too, offers photography workshops.
The posts that followed had me smiling. You know the old saw, those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? It applies in this case. Too funny.
Although it's a good idea to look at a photographers body of work before you sign up for a workshop, that is not always indicative of how good a teacher they will be. Some teachers a blessed with an innate skill to make the foggy, obvious. To make the difficult appear simple.
And it is also true of the opposite. I'd be inclined to look for someone who takes great photos and take my chances that I might have some of their technique rub off on me.
Is this an introduction to my photography workshops? No. With a full time job designing and shooting during my spare time, teaching is the last thing on my mind. When I retire? I'd seriously think about it.
When I shot fashion and still life, I mentored photographers from the local photo school and really liked it. It was great to share what I knew with others who were learning like I was only a few years earlier. I did find that by verbalizing what I was doing, it became clear to me why I did things a certain way. Before it was an automatic thing. Never stopping to wonder why a light was placed here or an object was placed there in my composition
It's 7:00 am on a Saturday and I am out the door for my girls volleyball tournament this morning. Another sunrise lost but what does that matter when compared to watching your children grow up?
Happy shooting and just generally living,

PHOENIX (AP) - The Super Bowl champion Ravens and the Falcons each received four compensatory picks in April's draft for free agents they lost in 2012.
San Francisco, which fell 34-31 to Baltimore for the NFL title, will get three picks, as will Tennessee.
Compensatory selections have been awarded since 1994 to teams losing more or better free agents than they acquire in the previous year. Baltimore lost Ben Grubbs, Jarret Johnson, Brandon McKinney, Haruki Nakamura, Cory Redding and Tom Zbikowski, and signed Sean Considine and Corey Graham.
Atlanta lost Kelvin Hayden, Curtis Lofton, James Sanders and Eric Weems while it didn't sign anyone in 2012.
The highest compensatory pick this year is Houston's at No. 95 overall. Such picks can't be traded and are awarded in the third through seventh rounds.

MONDAY, Jan. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Older people who are taking
common blood pressure medications called calcium channel blockers
face an increased risk of developing dangerously low blood pressure
and possibly going into shock if they take certain antibiotics,
Canadian researchers warn.
"Two common antibiotics, erythromycin and clarithromycin, if given to patients taking calcium channel blockers, can increase the risk substantially of being hospitalized for low blood pressure," said lead researcher Dr. David Juurlink, a scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute in Toronto.
For patients taking erythromycin along with a calcium channel
blocker the risk goes up almost sixfold, while it increases almost
fourfold for patients taking clarithromycin, he said.
Although the interaction between these drugs has been known for
some 20 years, this is the first time the risk has been quantified,
Juurlink said.
Juurlink noted a cousin of these drugs, azithromycin, doesn't
cause this problem. "One of the main suggestions of the study is,
if you are on a calcium channel blocker and you need to go on an
antibiotic in this class, azithromycin is a safer one to use," he
The report is published in the Jan. 17 edition of the
Canadian Medical Association Journal.
For the study, Juurlink's team collected data on people aged 66
and older who were taking calcium channel blockers between 1994 and
The researchers sorted out who among these patients was
hospitalized for low blood pressure (hypotension) and whether or
not they had taken a macrolide antibiotic before being
Juurlink's group found that 7,100 of these patients had been
hospitalized for low blood pressure or shock, and that having taken
either erythromycin or clarithromycin was associated with an
increased risk of trouble.
The reason these antibiotics have this effect is that they
interfere with an enzyme in the liver that is needed to break down
the calcium channel blocker. When this enzyme is "turned off," too
much of the calcium blocker accumulates and causes blood pressure
to drop dangerously low, Juurlink explained.
Dr. Barry J. Materson, a professor of medicine at the University
of Miami Miller School of Medicine and a specialist in blood
pressure, said that this study "is of practical interest."
The researchers have established that the combination of a
macrolide antibiotic and a calcium channel blocker can cause
hypotension or even shock because of increased blood levels of the
calcium channel blocker, Materson said.
"This happens because of the interference with an enzyme that metabolizes the calcium blocker," Materson noted.
Materson added that grapefruit juice can also interfere with the
same enzyme and lead to elevated levels of calcium channel
blockers. "Grapefruit juice is consumed much more frequently than
macrolide antimicrobials," he pointed out.
One limitation of the study is not knowing how many of these
patients had hypotension or shock from the infection for which they
were receiving the antibiotic. "We also do not know how many, if
any, consume grapefruit juice," Materson said.
"Nevertheless, it is important for practitioners, pharmacists and patients to appreciate that both grapefruit juice and macrolide antibiotics, with the possible exception of azithromycin, can increase the blood level of the calcium channel blockers to an unpredictable degree and may rarely result in hypotension or even shock," he said.

text: Posted Online: Dec. 29, 2012, 12:12 am Rally falls short; Geneseo finishes winless at DeKalb Comment on this story By Steve Tappa, firstname.lastname@example.com DeKALB -- Down 19 points early in the fourth quarter Friday and well on the way to a fifth straight setback at the 85th annual Chuck Dayton Classic, the Geneseo boys' basketball team finally found something that's been missing the last week. "We didn't quit,'' Geneseo coach Brad Storm said. "We started to believe in ourselves.'' But even though a comeback came up just short in its tourney finale, 60-55 to the hosts from DeKalb, Storm hopes his squad gained some positive momentum heading into the 2013 portion of its schedule. "You certainly can't fault the effort in the fourth quarter,'' Storm said after the Leafs got as close as four points a couple of times in the final minute. "My question to them was, `Where was that the other three quarters? Where was that the other four games here?' If we get that, we're playing in the championship game.'' Instead, the Leafs (6-7) head home hoping a string of narrow setbacks at the tourney -- including losses to third-place combatants Hampshire and Aurora Marmion -- sets the stage for big things to still happen this season. "If we can come back and win the conference, which I believe is very do-able, or win a regional title, who cares about what happened at the Chuck Dayton Tournament?'' said Storm, whose club is 2-1 in Northern Illinois Big 12 West action heading into Friday's trip to league-leading LaSalle-Peru."We did a lot of good things in coming back. We just ran out of time. If we'd turned it on sooner at the end of the third quarter, things would have been different, I really believe that, and I hope these guys do, too.'' Jordan Starkey, selected to the five-man all-tournament first team, spearheaded the comeback with 10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter. But others figured, too, as Geneseo rallied from a 49-30 deficit in the final 7 minutes and 5 seconds. Luke Snyder added five of his 13 points and two of his team-high-tying four steals, Ethan Radue scored four of his 11 points and Grant Burress chipped in five of his nine points in the final period against DeKalb (3-11). Geneseo finished with 22 turnovers and allowed the Hubs to hit 21 of 42 shots from the field. Jake Carpenter led four DeKalb starters into double figures with 16 points, five rebounds, five steals and three assists. "It's too bad; in the first quarter we executed our game plan,'' said Storm, whose club shrugged off DeKalb's 6-0 start to trail only 13-12 heading into the second period."But then we got away from those things and started making bad decisions again. We lost that sense of urgency, we lost that passion, and we're not good enough to play without it.''

Legislators worked hard last month to close the $365 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2013, which begins July 1, but declining state revenue projections have cut into some of their efforts.
State Comptroller Kevin Lembo reported Jan. 2 that the remaining budget deficit after the Dec. 19 budget deficit mitigation bill was $40 million.
Total revenues are projected to be about $35 million less than what was predicted in November, according to the consensus revenue report by the Office of Policy Management and Office of Fiscal Analysis.
A $35 million decrease in revenue, plus the remaining $40 million budget deficit, brings the state's total deficit projection to more than $70 million for fiscal year 2013.
"The decline in revenue projections is not surprising. The economy and state government finances are extremely difficult to project in these unusual times, particularly given the significant and shifts in income tax revenue that occur surrounding the dates of major tax changes," wrote Benjamin Barnes, secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, in an email Tuesday in response to questions from The Connecticut Mirror.
The tax revenues that are projected to decline the most are personal income tax, by $71.4 million, and sales and use tax, by $129.9 million. Other tax revenues that are expected to drop include the corporation tax revenue, by $10 million, and the cigarettes tax revenue, by $1 million.
Anticipated revenues from casinos also declined by $11.5 million. The Mohegan Tribe and Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation give Connecticut a 25 percent share of their slot machine revenues, which have steadily declined over the years.
The consensus revenue report also showed that total revenues are expected to be down by $68.3 million for fiscal year 2014.
The aim of the special session in December was to close the fiscal year 2013 budget deficit of $365 million but also to create savings for the coming budget year.
These updated revenue projections affect that plan and make it likely that the budget deficit for fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1, 2014, will remain at more than $1 billion. The budget deficit for fiscal year 2014 is currently estimated to be $1.1 billion.
In response to the report, Barnes said, "We will continue to closely monitor state revenues in order to maintain balance in the state budget this year and through the coming biennium."

I'm listening to this podcast, so far it's 1 minute 30 sec in and there's nothing about Steve Jobs.
Is a written transcript available, so I can just skim it and look for the bits relevant to your headline announcement? Or do I have to listen to some old geezer rambling for 5 minutes just to hear the 10 seconds of what was advertised?

Reviews (5)
5 out of 5 stars Liquid Facelift
Instant Results with No Downtime - Chevy Chase, MD
I am a longtime patient of Dr. West. Each time I see her, she proves her passion and artistry in the 5 STAR results she helps me achieve in reaching my aesthetic goal to reverse the signs of aging. Dr. West is so gifted in the placement of filler and Botox that no one can tell I've been "worked on." Her warmth and friendly bedside manner affords me the comfortability to express my wishes to her. She listens carefully and is always able to understand the results I seek to achieve. Her thorough communication and ability to clearly address my inquiries yields the most magnificent and natural results. My face looks amazing. She effectively reverses my "aging look" in a subtle and discreet manner. I feel beautiful and confident. Lastly, I am always very pleased with her office staff. These ladies are professional, very friendly, and have outstanding product and service knowledge which are also very important to me and play an essential role in the remarkably pleasant office visits I experience when I see Dr. West. I highly recommend this office.
5 out of 5 stars Acne Scars Treatment
Full Face CO2 Laser for Acne Scars - Chevy Chase, MD
I generally don't write reviews, but felt so lucky to have found Dr. West, I am compelled to review the experience. The entire staff is not only professional and knowledgeable, but personable and caring as well. I have never had a wait greater than 3-4 minutes in the times I have been there. Dr. West listened to my specific needs and created a treatment plan that fit my desired results and circumstances. The office is clean, modern and has the absolute latest in laser equipment. My appointments were run meticulously with each staff member ready and prepared at each step of the way. There was plenty of time and a relaxed environment for questions, etc.and Dr. West took her time to discuss every question/concern in detail and with a friendly demeanor. In addition to the follow-up calls and appointments after the laser treatment, Dr. West also included several bottles of different healing gels/cleansers/sunblocks, 2 (aquamist?) facials to help the healing process, and even performed a minor additional treatment - at no extra charge! It was obvious to me, at all times, that everyone there has a true interest in my actual results and satisfaction. And, my actual results are amazing! I have had scars on my face for 20+ years and was somewhat resigned to having them. After the procedure, my skin healed very quickly (much more so than what I have read in people's blogs) and my skin is now lovely! I never thought I would feel that way about my skin, but each day I look in the mirror I actually feel happy. The doctor is gifted in her abilities. Like I said, I don't generally write reviews, but my experience here was very unique!
4 out of 5 stars Cellulaze
Cellulaze Back and Side of Thighs, Dr. Tina West - Chevy Chase MD
Dr. West and her entire staff are very pleasant and professional. I felt like they care about me as a person and a patient. They were very responsive (especially Tracy, she is awesome) to all my many questions and concerns. They even offered to re-touch the spot I feel does not show any results if after some more time passes, I'm still not happy. Dr. West is also is very adept at the procedure. I felt like I was in very good hands, and did not feel at all that she was "too rough" or anything with the laser; the actual laser use seemed to go smoothly, no pun intended. I would recommend Dr. West.
5 out of 5 stars Mole Removal
Neck Skin Tag Removal - Chevy Chase, MD
Dr. West has an exception bedside manner. She is respectful of my time and my concerns.
5 out of 5 stars Cellulaze
Nothing Worked Until Cellulaze - Chevy Chase, MD
Dr. Tina West and her staff at The West Institute for Skin, Laser and Body Contouring couldn't have been more professional. I was seen on time and had a very thorough Cellulaze consultation. She answered all my questions and was very honest about the procedure, which helped me have realistic expectations. Dr. West performed my procedure with care, asking me how I was feeling and for my feedback the entire time. It was a great experience! I highly recommend Dr. West!

Rated 2 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mia8585 Don't Fit Well I bought an XS and these still gather up everywhere. It looks bad. There is extra material scrunched under my butt, in the crotch, behind my knees... It just looks cheap and bad. October 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ANALI Run big Don't know if it's that this bottoms run big or if it is the fabric that is so stretchable. I always wear small on bebe workout bottoms and I ordered this in a small as well but they crunch up all together along my back legs, and in front at the crotch. I will try the x small and see if it fits better. But every time I try bottoms with lamé fabric they crunch up somewhere. But this crunch up almost everywhere. I will write another review once I get the x small and see if it's just the size. Other than that they are extremely comfortable. It doesn't feel like you are cover with plastic like the polytharane fabric uses for some pants. This are soft inside. October 18, 2013

Kendra Wilkinson furious with Crystal Harris
Kendra Wilkinson was furious with Crystal Harris for dumping Hugh Hefner five days before their first wedding but is trying to forgive her now that they are married
Kendra Wilkinson ''wanted to kill'' Hugh Hefner's new wife after she cancelled their first wedding.
The former 'Girls Next Door' star and glamour model has admitted she was furious with 26-year-old Crystal Harris, who subsequently married Hugh in a private ceremony on December 31, for dumping the 86-year-old Playboy founder five days before their original wedding was due to take place in 2011.
The 27-year-old mother-of-one, who has been married to Hank Baskett for almost four years, told the Big J radio show in Montana on Monday (25.02.13): ''I got p****d off when she hurt him.
''Of course, someone like me, I wanted to kill her. So now he's trying to get people to love her again. I'm like, 'Whatever, sure. If that's what you feel, we support you.' That's what p***es me off ...he can't go around thinking that people will automatically love her, especially after that.
''That p***ed everybody off, that she would just leave him and dump him, use him and abuse him.''
But Kendra, who once dated Hugh, revealed she is now trying to forgive Crystal because she knows he is happier than ever following a conversation she had with him shortly before his wedding in December.
She said: ''It was just me and him and I looked him in his eyes and said, 'Hef, are you happy?''
''And he's like, 'Oh, am I Kendra. I've never been this happy, and I want you to tell everybody that.' I'm like, 'OK.'''
Crystal was recently said to be ''desperate'' to have children with Hugh.
