U.S. taxpayers generate roughly $2.17 trillion. Our federal budget is about $3.82 trillion, our new debt is about $1.65 trillion, our national debt is $16.6 trillion, and the total budget cuts from sequester are $44 billion.
Even if Congress cut spending to balance the budget and saved $1 million per day to pay down the debt, it would take 2,740 years to pay off $1 trillion dollars and 45,484 years to pay off the entire national debt. This does not include the daily accrual of interest on the debt or the $122 trillion of unfunded liabilities due to Social Security or Medicare.
Each year, the federal government admits to wasting $125 billion through fraud or unaccountable money. How can our government waste $125 billion per year, while President Obama states it will be a "catastrophe" if we cut $44 billion? He has threatened to shut down essential services and furlough workers.
Beyond that, he has used the opportunity to scare the public by releasing 5,000 illegal immigrants, threatened general safety and inconvenienced travel in an attempt to trouble the American people and blame those who want responsible spending.
Obama may be trying to scare the American people that Republicans are going to cause people to suffer, but it is his lies and this fraudulent and deceptive government that is destroying America.
The framers of the U.S. Constitution feared an all-powerful government. They established checks and balances to limit the power of the government over the people. Over the years, our government has become larger, gained more authority over the people, and has become more corrupt.
If the government were a business, it would be in bankruptcy — and those running it would be in jail for fraud and deception.
• Frank Aquila is the president of the South San Joaquin Republicans, an independent political organization that operates in the south county, including Tracy.

We were alone in the house—Maude Chaplain and I—and did not altogether like i ?the! .piosition in which we were plaCed. ..,;.. ' While rjthe daylight lasted, and there seemed so much life about the farm, it seemed very pleasant to have the louse .to ourselves, to- be able to wander together .through the quaint did rooms and to talk on the subject very- dear to both of us, without the dread of being overshadowed by the London female cousins and the roystering youths who had come ' to spend a month of the shooting beneath our roof. ■• For a time we- reveled in our comparative solitude, and pitied the female cousins, the eager sportsmen, poor •''"papa", "and the rest of thehouse- hold','"who had been beguiled, into accepting aji7 invitation to Mrs. "Rattletrap's . picnic'at the Scrubs, a piece of moorland som'e eight miles distant from our. house. We were all expected, but my-old schoolfellow} Maude, pleaded headache, and I was not sorry to have an excuse for staying'at'home with dar guest. We had met "but seldom since vre, left the prim sfchool at Taunton; and, although resident within a radius of, say, four miles." "But l;owc.about*«iramps? ,^r£.th;ey not dread-fu^dofile^s3?"

At all events, tranjps seldom^ilever, come near us. -^-on-Osee we" 9ie^of^the'lnain^adi The lane leads to the farm, and nowhere else." "But," persuaded^ Maude, ."*fchat fact would be all tftfe w^rsfe' f"oi*liisM a^iramp should come here." ' "Beally," I replied, "I shall get quite angry with you if you pursue the subject further. To put.an end, however, to all your-fears, you shall come with me, and we will bolt the outer doors." The alacrity with which Maude rose from her c&air was k5tgb6d.pi'6bf ilfat the proposed measure was of a welcome nature; so, proceeding from the drawing- rbom, we walked to the lawn, and, fastening the gate which opened on to the lane, we re-entered the house. We then locked, bolted and barred the back premises,; say^that all the .windows were "fastened^ itnd then carit'e **back!*to the drawing-room. I must confess that, when we had secured all the approaches |o. our citadel, I was myself *a gbod deal more at ease than I had been previously. Slowly-the autumn sun sank beneath the range of hills fronting our dwelling,, tinging'the sky with 'ia!diant hue's which* varied momentarily. .. , t ., . . _ ?(S I could haYe* s"at for hbilrs watching the numerous hues that swept across the heavens, &h'nM,.- W-th ■ the* uprising moon5 and gathering twilight, I saw that Maude was once more becoming nervous.

The notions of the ancients on this most important subject are worthy of remark. Their taste regarding meat was various. Beef they considered the most substantial food; hence -it .constituted the chief nourishment of theii- athletas. Camels' and dromedaries' flesh was much esteemed-, &eir heels most especially. Donkey flesh was in" high repute; Maecenas, according to Pliny, delighted in it; and the-wild ass, "Brought from Africa, was compared to venison. The hog and the wild boar appear to have been held in great estimation; and a hog was called "animal propter convivia natum;" but the classical portion of the sow was somewhat singular^'vulva nil dulcius ampia."" Their mode of killing swine was as refifleTdrin barbarity as in epicurism. Plutarch tells us that the gravid sow was actually tramped to death, to form a delicious mass fit for the gods. At other times, pigs were slaughtered with red-hot spits, that the blood might not be lost. Stuffing a pig with assafoetida and very smaE animals was a luxury called "porcus Trojanus;" alluding, no doubt, to the warriors who were concealed in the Trojan horse. Young bears, dogs and foxes (the latter more esteemed when fed upon grapes) were also much admired bytheEomans, who were also so fond of various birds that some consular families assumed the names of those they most esteemed. Cattius tells us how to drown fowls in Palernian wine, to render them more luscious and tender. Pheasants were brought over from OolcHs, and deemed afconet^te-such; a rarity "that -one of the Plolemiestbitteriy lamented his never having tasted any. ^Peacocks were also very highly esteemed. anc^a steel>^cMe,5but, m bp^^N Biris Awards and Decorations, The awarding of medals to the happy premium-takers -fcooiih-place i&',1,h~SBSxia.

Longley, better known as BUI Longley, who recently expiated on the gallows at Giddings, Texas, one of over a score of murders, was unquestionably the most atrocious criminal in the countiy. Longley had certainly killed" eight men, six whites and two negroes, besides shooting several others Who survived:" but it is confidently be- lieyed that at least thirty men died by his hand, He began his extraordinary career at the age of 15, whon he and a companion amused themselves by mounting on horseback - and firing at every negro Whom they encountered. Those were stormy times even for Texas, when it w"as emerging from* the civil war, and civil law was virtually dead in the greater portion of the State. The im-* munity which Longley 'enjoyed emboldened him to more daring crimes, until, before reaching his majority, he was one of the most dreaded men north of; the Bio Grande, While yet quite young he started through the Indian Nation with a companion, but was attacked by outlaws, his partner killed, and himself put to flight. When his horse gave out he shot an Indian and took.his feom him.. This he repeated several- times, until the Creeks and Choctaws gathered and pursued him. Longley's horse was killed, himself wounded, and he took to the bush. Here he was found by a squaw, who brought him- food and helped conceal him until the hue and cry was over, when he got away. Longley subsequently joined a party which started for the Black Hills, but were turned back by the -Government troops, and he enlisted in the service. He made an arrangement with the Quartermaster to swindle the Government, but tlie. two attempted to cheat each other, quarreled, and Longley shot the Quartermaster dead, and, then took to the mountains. He was followed, captured, and sentenced to a long confinement in prison, but escaped, as he declared, through bribing* the guard. While tramping through the woodsin Arkansas one day he stopped at a cabin, where he was welcomed by its only oc*- cupant, a powerful-limbed, heavily- "ibearded man. While the two were in conversation the cabin was surrounded by a vigilance committee, that had come "V/v^t. HndiHg iv hnndsOme, 1S \^^n£^£^£±£^ i |*iC^ ^^-^vXigusie j^s; K.

The inquest h'eldto-day on Miss Ella Bfanbury, who died rom exhaustion consequent on long immersjon in,, the Thames and shod front the Princess Alice collision, is tfe closing chapter of a touching romane. Miss Hanbtuy was an American g**! of 19, only child of a wealthy New lork merchant. She was on a visit hereand went for a run on thei liver, in coxpany with her engaged husband, M Harrison, a member of the American br. When the crash came, Harrison emraced her and bade her good-by, sayiq they would meet in heaven. She sax no more of "him. They were parte,,on the instant, and she found herselfn the water. Partly swimming, partlyttpported by a plank, she floated for fo hours and a half, and-was then picld rip apparently none the worse, for S3 was about the "aext week.

As .there was no help for himself, he thought his visitormight as well bear him company n the road to the sudden gallows. Both men were carried out and hanged to the limb of a tree, and then the seven vigilantes galloped away. A brother of West was hiding in the woods, watching the proceedings. As the horsemen dis- appeared, he ran up and cut down the horse-thief. He was already dead, but when Longley was lowered he was found to be alive. The knot oi the rope had caught in his ear, and in the course of an hour he was as well as ever. Longley straightway devoted himself to "getting even" with the vigilance .committee. He caught and hanged the man;who put the rope around his neck, and claimed to have shot all the others, thoxigh it is scarcely credible that such V case. 1"' Some of Longley's murders were particularly atrocious.' He deliberately killed the Bev. Mr. Bay, of Arkansas, because that gentleman attempted to persuade a young girl not to marry the desperado. One night a soldier expressed an unfavorable opinion of Tex- ans, and Longley sent a bullet through his brain. His last crime, so far as known, was that of walking into a field where a man was plowing and firing one ban-el at him. The poor fellow fell badly wounded, and asked Longley why he had shh^ him. "For fun," was the answer, as the young scoundrel emptied the other barrel into his'victim's body, instantly killing him. It should be stated that Longley suspected this per- .son of being concerned in the slaying of a distant relative of his. Finally this desperado seemed to weary of his massacres, and went into Nacogdoches county, where he engaged himself to a farmer. He wrought quietly ■for several months, and formed a strong friendship for a young man in the neighborhood, to whom, finally, under a solemn pledge of secrecy, he gave his correct name. His confidant communicated with the authorities, who, knowing the desperate character of their man, succeeded in surrounding him •while he was unarmed and working in a field. His trial and conviction followed, and, after several appeals, he suffered the penalty of his numerous crimes. A Friendly Father. A stern parent, so much dreaded by young and spoony- serenaders, is not always such a ferocious monster as he ris! generally represented. Three young gentlemen, accompanied by a guitar, began singing sweetly under the win- •"dow of a favored one, the other evening, when a dark object was seen to issue from the corner of the house. It moved slowly and cautiously, and seemed to be armed. They were too much devoted to the art to break off in the middle of the strain which they were in at the time, so they held the ;fort tremblingly until it was finished, -?and then prepared to decamp hastily. This* was interrupted, however, by the .motions of the aforesaid object, who, •_Sw being near enough to be seen more clearly, beckoned to them frantically, 2*nd whispered; "Hold on, boys—don't, be'frade; it's me." And, sure enough, it was him, the father of the angel they had called to serenade. He,beckoned to" the party" to follow him around to the side of the house, where he explained matters as well as he could under the circumstances. "I've been out a- little to-night," said he, " and I'm- tryin'to get in the house without beiii' heard." Exchange. A SS Jaclr, 1" hear you've gone anckgono it; Yes, Ilmow;jnostfelloT?gTi*ill:. . .

See Pregnancy & Prenatal Testing for more information on tests performed prior to and during pregnancy.
At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To confirm and monitor pregnancy or to help diagnose and monitor gestational trophoblastic disease or germ cell tumors
When to Get Tested?
As early as 10 days after a missed menstrual period (some methods can detect hCG even earlier, at one week after conception) or when a doctor thinks that your symptoms suggest ectopic pregnancy, gestational trophoblastic disease, or germ cell tumors
Sample Required?
A urine sample collected first thing in the morning or a blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None needed; however, do not drink large amounts of fluid before collecting a urine sample for a pregnancy test because overly dilute urine may result in a false negative.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced in the placenta of a pregnant woman. A pregnancy test is a specific blood or urine test that can detect hCG and confirm pregnancy. This hormone can be detected 10 days after a missed menstrual period, the time period when the fertilized egg is implanted in the woman's uterus. With some methods, hCG can be detected even earlier, at one week after conception.
During the early weeks of pregnancy, hCG is important in maintaining function of the corpus luteum. Production of hCG increases steadily during the first trimester (8–10 weeks) of a normal pregnancy, peaking around the 10th week after the last menstrual cycle. Levels then fall slowly during the remainder of the pregnancy. hCG is no longer detectable within a few weeks after delivery.
hCG is also produced by some germ cell tumors and increased levels are seen in gestational trophoblastic disease.
How is the sample collected for testing?
hCG is commonly detected in urine. The preferred specimen is a random urine sample collected first thing in the morning. hCG can also be measured in blood drawn from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed. However, do not drink large amounts of fluid before collecting a urine sample for a pregnancy test. This is because overly dilute urine may result in a false negative.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

And with five different mounting options and included hardware, you're sure to find a good spot for installing your camera. Connect the CMOS2 to your in-dash monitor, and you automatically see what's behind your car or truck when you shift into reverse. The 170-degree wide-angle view gives you a great view of potential trouble spots. The camera comes with a 7-foot cable, so you'll need a composite video cable to route through your vehicle to your in-dash monitor. Warranty: 1 year.

Camera is very dim at night. I have a cheaper model on my truck & the picture looks much better. Also, be sure to notice that it does not come with a cable. A cable will set you back $-$$. Pros: Comes with a bunch of differnt mounting brackets so it gives you a lot of options for mounting Cons: Camera is very dim at night, & any lights wash things out. You need to supply your own cable with this and "thin" video cables for backup cameras are hard to find. I settled for a thicker higher quality cable but routing was more dificult. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Audiovox CMOS2 Camera Written By Carole, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, February 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very happy that I got this product for rear view protection. The picture is very clear and gives me a wide view. This was hooked up with a Pioneer receiver. Pros: Great, clear picture with a wide view. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Better suited to replace unit that was previously installed Written By Dave E, DFW Texas on Tuesday, January 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you are replacing a previously installed unit then this would be fine. If you are doing an original instal then recommend you buy the Audiovox unit with license plate mount that includes male to male cable. Does not include the male to male adapter cable to run into back of head unit--difficult to install. Pros: Cheap Cons: Does not have all materials for original install, no male cable to connect to head unit, requires drilling to mount (Other Audiovox unit does not). Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Audiovox CMOS2 Written By Steve, Guam on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just installed this camera on a suburban and it works well. Installed it through a Kenwood DDX 419 and picture looks good with the exception of a small portion of the top left corner that is blacked out. I'm not sure if it is my camera or HU. Overall, it meets my needs. Pros: picture looks good Cons: top left corner of my screen is blacked out Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Choice Written By TMLanz, Minnesota on Saturday, April 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in a 2005 Chevy Avalanche: Fit perfectly in the rear gate bezel Pros: Excellent image Small Good Daytime quality Good install options Cons: Could have a wider field of view, but is ok Short cables, you will need to purchase your own video cable to install Night quality is not that great, however it works fine and I wood rather have the better daytime quality and no wash-out in the sun tthan perfect nightime. have to comprimise should have alignment marks 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I wish I had got a better Camera with sound, but this is my first venture with this technology. Pros: It worked Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Needs better cabling Written By trb, Woonsocket, RI on Tuesday, April 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I had this working (for about 10 minutes) the video feed was crisp and gave a great rear view when mounted to my 2008 Toyota Tundra's rear bumper. Unfortunately the power cables are way too thin of a gauge (22g) for a 12 volt application. They should be at least 18g and probably 16g. I am trying to splice it into my factory trailer hitch wiring and the wires keep on breaking. At this point it is not worth returning it, so I will probably try opening it up and see if I can solder in some thicker gauge wires and see if that fixes my problems. Pros: Great image, nice wide angle. Cons: Wiring not appropriate for a 12 volt automotive application. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Works better than expected Written By Wheels55, Plano, TX on Monday, January 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Using this with a Clarion NZ501. Mounted it in the rear bumper. Works far better than I expected it to. Looks close to HD video, far better video and viewing angle than I have seen in some factory vehicles. Pros: Simple design, great day/night video, plenty of mounting options. Cons: none. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Camera! Written By Joe, Sparta, NJ on Thursday, November 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I mounted this camera on my 2011 Chevy Silverado HD with a JVC Navigator. With all the mounting options I figure it wouldn't be hard to put it in the factory location. Went to the dealer and for 30 bucks got the factory bezel. With a little carving and an over-sized O-ring to fit a round peg in a square hole. The truck looks like it came with it. Now I feel much more confident backing up. I highly recommend this camera! Pros: Great picture. Ten times better then my wife's stock camera. Mounting system extremely versatile. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This Is What You Call Clear View When Backing Up It Has The Best Clearest Images Ever On A Back Up Rear Cam.I Have It Hook Up With The SONY XNV-770BT And It Is Great I Highly Recommended This One. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Peek a boo.. I see you. Written By Anonymous, Lincoln NE on Monday, June 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The camera gives good images. It's a little hard to get leveled and the locking nut could be a little larger (more thread and larger in diameter) or an additional nut could be added to the kit. Be careful where you mount it. On an F350 the hole that exists in the bumper may look tempting... until you want to lower your spare tire... doah! Do yourself a favor and either mount it away from the lic. plate light or remove one of the bulbs. It doesn't do well with a light shining right at it. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Audiovox CMOS2 Written By johnh, burlingto,nj on Friday, March 25, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Cool Camera! Written By George, Colorado on Sunday, February 13, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this camera in the drivers side of the tail gate latch of a 2007 F150 Crew cab. I already had a factory back-up obstruction detection system but wanted more. Frankly I needed to see better backing out of parking spaces and this camera does a great job in daylight and dark. It has enough of a wide angle that it help you see other cars aproaching. Installation is pretty easy although the instructons aren't the greatest. I installed this with a Kenwood DNX-5160 player which has an option to turn the camera on when you shift in to reverse and a button that turns the camera on. So here is where I might save somebody a few head aches. If you just want the camera to work when you shift in to reverse then wire it like the instructions say by wiring the camera power to the back-up lights PLUS you will need to run a wire from the back-up lights to the sensor wire on your Audio/video receiver if it has one. Now if you want to use the camera when you are NOT in reverse then you need to run a power lead from an ignition switched source to the camera's power lead. One beef I have is that the top of the camera isn't marked and aligning the camera is more of a pain than you might guess. It is marketed by a good company so it should last awhile. Bottom line is it made backing up in a large truck a whole lot easier and safer. 22 out of 22 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Camera Written By TMF, Ohio on Monday, November 01, 2010 Very easy installation. Nice wide view and very clear. Makes backup much easier.

The Bond Guarantee Program (BGP), using the corpus of the Permanent School Fund (PSF), guarantees bonds issued by a school district or charter school. The PSF guarantee has received "AAA" ratings from the major bond rating services and replaces the need for private bond insurance.
Both districts and charters must apply to the TEA and be approved by the commissioner of education to participate in this program. The TEA reviews each application according to statutory requirements and State Board of Education (SBOE) rules. This review must confirm that the application is complete and accurate. The district or charter must also be financially sound. The TEA also reviews the School FIRST rating or Charter FIRST rating, the annual financial audit report, accreditation status, and any complaints.
The TEA only accepts applications for the BGP through the Municpal Advisory Council (MAC) website.
The link to the sign-up page for the BGP is located on MAC home page. Click that link.
Once you have been granted access to the application, you will see a link for the PSF application under My MAC (on the left side of the page). Click on that link to begin the process.
If you have any questions about the online application process, please send an email to the MAC at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Laura Slaughter or Terrence Spencer at (512) 476-6947.
Applications for new or combination (new and refunding) issues are subject to a monthly prioritization system in accordance with SBOE rules. Applications that are received on or before 5:00 p.m. of the last business day of the calendar month will be held until the fifteenth business day of the subsequent month. The commissioner of education announces the results of the prioritization on this day each month.
Each district or charter that submits a valid application will be notified of the application status on the fifteenth business day of the month that follows the application deadline.
If a district does not receive a guarantee, the commissioner will consider the application withdrawn. The TEA will not retain applications that were denied a guarantee. However, a district or charter may reapply for a guarantee in a subsequent month.
If the guarantee is granted, but the bonds are not approved by the Office of the Attorney General within 180 days of the application deadline, the commissioner will consider the application withdrawn.
Applications for refunding bonds with present value savings (that refund previously guaranteed bonds) require a separate application form and are not subject to the monthly prioritization system.
The Texas Administrative Code 33.67(d)(1) requires the commissioner of education to post information each year stating the percentage of students enrolled in charter schools. This information is used to calculate the available capacity of the PSF to guarantee bonds for charter schools. Charter schools enrolled 203,290 out of a total enrollment of 5,151,925 students in the 2013–2014 school year.* For the purposes of the BGP, this represents 3.95% of total bond guarantees.
* Per statute, these numbers are based on enrollment data submitted by school districts and charter schools to the Public Information Managment System (PEIMS) during the fall 2013 submission.
