JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) — Officers and enlisted Airmen getting promoted in March will experience pay delays because of the Military Personnel Data System upgrade occurring that month.
"Individuals to promote from Mar. 4 to 26 will not get their promotions updated in MilPDS because of the upgrade," said Lt. Col. Shelley Strong, the Air Force Personnel Center operations division chief. "Their promotions will be projected in MilPDS and will automatically update as soon as the system is back online."
Airmen are authorized to sew on their new rank on their respective promotion dates, but they will not receive an increase in pay until their promotion is updated in MilPDS and processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
"Unfortunately, until MilPDS is back online, promotions that become effective during this window will not be able to be processed," Strong said. "Once the system is available, they can view their promotion data in the virtual Military Personnel Flight application to ensure their promotion information is accurate and updated."
Airmen should contact their base military personnel section if their promotion information is not updated in vMPF within 10 days after the MilPDS upgrade is completed. Base military personnel sections will track local personnel records to avoid overpayment for Airmen who received a promotion cancellation or delay. AFPC officials are also requesting that base commanders accomplish Stripes for Exceptional Performer promotions before the MilPDS upgrade to avoid pay delays.
The Air Force is upgrading and transferring the Military Personnel Data System to the Defense Information Systems Agency's Defense Enterprise Computing Center in March. The upgrade project is scheduled to take approximately 23 days to complete, during which time, MilPDS will not be available.
The information above also applies to Reserve promotions. Reserve members should contact their MPS if their promotion information is not updated in vMPF within 10 days after MilPDS upgrade is completed.
Guard members should review the "MilPDS Upgrade and Migration Guidance — Unit Assigned Members" section on the myPers website, under the "Alerts" or "Announcements for Airmen" sections.
MilPDS is the primary records database for personnel data and actions that occur throughout every total force Airman's career. MilPDS is also used to initiate Airman pay actions, maintain Air Force accountability and strength data and support a host of interactions with other Air Force processes and systems that rely on personnel data.
Officials will continue to release additional information and guidance to the Air Force's manpower, personnel, services and pay communities and total force Airmen to continue to educate them on how the service will perform critical personnel and pay tasks during the MilPDS upgrade.

Taking Out Your Trash: Garbage trucks line up at the end of the day to dump their collected waste at the Chestnut Ridge Landfill.
Extremely Natural Gas: Methane collection wells, above, are drilled all over the landfill's acreage. The gas is piped to the landfill's engine room, above left, where it is converted into electricity, some of which is used on site and some of which is fed back to the power grid.
Holding Pattern: Leachate collection pumps suck the seepage out of the landfill before it can get into the groundwater and store it until it can be treated.

Child care safety measure clears Senate
INDIANAPOLIS— The Indiana Senate approved a House proposal,36-12, sponsored by State Senator Greg Taylor (D-Indianapolis) to establish child care provider requirements for funding eligibility. The bill will create safety regulations that all child care facilities must follow in order to receive Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grants.
"No child care facility should be exempt from following safety regulations meant to protect our children," said Sen. Taylor. "Unsupervised children, sub-par sanitation standards, and a lack of safety conditions are completely unacceptable for our families."
In order to be one step closer toward closing the gap in safety standards, staff-to-child ratios are being modified and annual, 12-hour long training sessions for all supervisors and mandatory reports of suspected child abuse will be required.
Sen. Taylor hopes to see state-wide regulations that will monitor all child care facilities and enforce equal safety and educational standards for all young Hoosiers.
"All child care facilities should be meeting minimum state standards for health and safety, if not going the extra distance to ensure quality supervision, nutrition, and activities for children," said Sen. Taylor.
Sen. Taylor represents Senate District 33 which includes portions of Wayne, Pike, Washington and Center townships in Marion County. For more information on Sen. Taylor, his legislative agenda or other State Senate business call 1-800-382-9467 or visit www.IN.gov/s33.

WORTHINGTON – District 518 is one of 138 schools to receive a planning grant for the Safe Walk to School program, through the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Planning grants provide funding to help analyze existing conditions, gather public input and identify infrastructure and non-infrastructure solutions at K-8 schools.
Plans will be completed by the Southwest Regional Development Commission or a planning consultant hired by MnDOT.
The district was not given a dollar amount, because MnDOT pays all expenses related to planning grants, including time put in by...

"An easy pound cake with German, or semi sweet chocolate chips."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
white sugar
1 cup
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons
butter flavored extract
1 cup
3 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
2 cups
German sweet chocolate chips
This was yummy! Very quick and was it moist! Tastes best when warm. It has become one of the desserts of choice at our weekly barbecues.
Made it twice, the first time as written. Yuck-- why tolerate the health hazards of hydrogenated fats? Second time, made it with butter (as pound cakes were originally made) and of course skipped the butter flavoring. Ahhh... much better! So one star as written, but 4 stars with my alteration.
16 Ratings
I cut this recipe in half to try it out. The cake fell after I removed it from the oven, but was still very tasty. I used butter-flavored shortening since I didn't have the butter flavoring. It was very moist and tasty. My husband gave this two thumbs up.
Unfortunately my rating is low and do not often do this but suggest that butter is used. Otherwise this cake tends to have little flavor and dry out too quickly. It certaily warrants 5 stars with butter and I am adding it to my files.
This is a very nice cake, great with ice cream while it's still warm. I didn't want to make a trip to the store, so I used sour cream instead of buttermilk and I only had 1/2 cup of shortening, so I used it and added 1/2 cup of butter. It turned out great. Maybe I cooked it a little too long, 1 1/2 hours was a bit much for my oven, but the recipe will work great when I use it again with a shorter cooking time.
I really liked this cake. I was looking for something to make to use up the buttermilk I had and tried this. I made it for supper when my extended family was comming over. I did not find it dry at all as other reviewers had stated. I even made it the night before. I kept it in my cake caddy and it was still nice and moist when I was ready to serve it. I heated it up and served it with vanilla ice cream. It was really yummy. My sister asked for the recipe because her boyfriend liked it so much. I think that next time I make it I may try pouring a chocolate glaze of some kind over it or making cupcakes with it. I will be making this again really soon.
Great cake! I used chocolate chips and when served warm, it tastes excellent. As it aged, the cake staled a bit but when fresh it was perfect! Plan to make again.
I made this with butter instead of shortening and omitted the butter extract. I also don't buy buttermilk and always substitute with home-made - (1 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1 cup of milk, stir and let stand 5 min before adding). I also used 1/2 semi-sweet & 1/2 milk chocolate chips as my hubby like things very sweet. He loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 29, 2011) - Senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career and the ETSU men's basketball team scored 55 first-half points, as the Buccaneers raced out of the gates and then cruised to a 93-62 win over Kennesaw State in Atlantic Sun Conference basketball action Saturday afternoon at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
Williams' milestone basket came with 17:55 left on the clock in the second half, as he sank a long-range 3-pointer from the left wing. He finished with 22 points, while fellow senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) picked up a career high 27 points to lead all ETSU scorers. With the win, the Buccaneers improved to 15-8 overall, 10-2 in A-Sun play, winning for the 11th time in 12 games. Meanwhile, the Owls dropped to 5-16, 3-8.
"Micah has really turned into a nice player for us, and it's great to see Micah get to 1,000 points on a night when our team played really well all around," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team remains just one game back of league-leading Belmont in the A-Sun standings. "When you make shots everything is easier. I thought our energy was really good throughout the game, we were relaxed and we were able to do a lot of good things on both ends of the floor."
Along with Williams and Smith, junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) had a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds, while junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) enjoyed a strong effort by posting 15 points and dishing out five assists.
In the first half, the Bucs took a 4-4 game and proceeded to go on a 20-8 run to make it 24-12 with 12:48 left on the clock. ETSU never let up from there, going on to outscore the Owls 31-17 the rest of the way and build a 55-29 lead at the break.
The Bucs shot a blistering 65 percent from the field in the first half, including a 43 percent clip from beyond the 3-point arc. ETSU also outrebounded KSU 23-14 and forced eight turnovers by the Owls. Smith finished with 19 points before the break, while Williams pitched 13 before the break.
After the break, the Bucs only continued to build their advantage and ultimately held its largest lead of the game at 93-51 with 3:23 left in the contest.
For the game, ETSU shot an impressive 62 percent from the floor and out-rebounded the Owls 39-28. The Bucs forced 14 turnovers and snatched seven steals on the night. ETSU's defensive effort was strong as well, as the Bucs held KSU to 24 percent shooting from beyond the 3-point arc.
The Owls were led offensively by Markeith Cummings, who scored a game-high 29 points, while Spencer Dixon netted 10.
ETSU will return to action Monday evening against Mercer. Gametime is set for 7 p.m. For more on ETSU men's basketball, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

Lets clarify this a bit. You could sell it to a good friend that will help you out. And later you can get it back after shes gone (A GOOD FRIEND)...
What he said.......unless the laws in your state allow her to get half of market value....if so then good luck......best bet is talk to all the best lawyers in town....that way they can't represent her....conflict of interest....doesn't work every were,but may in your state...

sell it too a friend...
Unfortunately, the way most states view this now is that once she has stated her desire for the divorce assets are essentually frozen. You could sell them to a friend for 10 cents on the dollar...heck even a nickel but if market value is 40 cents on the dollar you will be held liable for half of the market value if you are in a joint property state. and most are...
Using the start a business approach would most likely not work since that would be seen as sheilding assets. Your best hope is that you need them for work and can justify them that way.
Or as was said...make a list of everything that is of value to her and start the bartering..
It was also said to get the best lawyer in town...AMEN to that and do it quick. If she has already lawyered up you do not wnat those bloodsucking..@@#&&!!!&&!!'s to have the opportunity to start pounding on you. You need that buffer zone to protect your interest ond not let them bully you.
That all said..good luck man...been through it all....that ard part is to not let yourself get screwed yet maintain some civility for the kids and such.
Just my two pennies and hope it helps.~ed~
Have you ever noticed that enough is usually too much?!
Welder One, I know what your going through. Like Fab said, sell it to a good friend and get something signed saying he sells it back to you at same price, give that paper to a better friend for safe keeping.
If there is a house involved, (I did this) contact an appraiser, tell him the story, point out any little fault or repair that needs done, get him to work in your favor, it will pay off. I was able to p o her lawyer by doing this, loved every minute of it.Ken

In the early 1990s, the Government of Thailand launched a campaign to reduce the country's HIV infection rate. Despite the campaign's success, however, HIV and AIDS continues to threaten the Thai people, especially the rural poor in the south and northeast areas of the country where fear of stigma and discrimination discourages residents from seeking help. Today, over 30,000 new cases of HIV are reported each year, and over 4,000 children are born each year with the illness.
In response to this need, CRS is supporting the efforts of the Catholic Committee on AIDS (CCA) in Thailand. CCA coordinates and supports the HIV and AIDS activities of 35 agencies, and has been recognized for its preventive efforts, and for its care and support services for orphans and people living with HIV and AIDS. CRS also works with the Catholic Bishops Conference of Thailand.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan backed off claims teachers are already getting pink slips Monday, but warned schools will suffer.
"Whether its to teachers, to guidance counselors to support staff...none of these things are good for children or for education," Duncan said.
On Thursday the House votes on a temporary budget to prevent a government shutdown.
That budget freezes spending and keeps the cuts in effect for most government agencies.

Good news for parents of fussy eaters: You didn't create them.
In an effort to find out what drives unhealthy eating patterns among children, researchers from University College London compared children's eating behaviors to their mothers' reactions to said behaviors and found that parents are usually responding to (not the cause of) fussy eating or overindulgence.
The authors collected questionnaire data from 244 mothers of children between the ages of 7 and 9. The moms filled out one survey related to their children's eating behaviors, agreeing or disagreeing to statements that measured how a child responds to food (for instance, "If allowed to, my child would eat too much"), their child's enjoyment of food, and whether their child ever avoids food (for instance, "My child gets full before his/her meal is finished" and "My child takes more than 30 minutes to finish a meal."). The second survey related to the mother's feeding habits, agreeing or disagreeing to statements like "If my child says 'I'm not hungry' I try to get him/her to eat anyway," or "If I did not guide or regulate my child's eating, he/she would eat too much of his/her favorite foods."
The authors found that what the mothers usually wanted from their children yielded the exact opposite result: Mothers who put more pressure on their children to eat were more likely to report having children who felt full before the end of a meal, ate slowly, were "fussy" eaters, or didn't enjoy food very much in general.
On the other hand, mothers who were more restrictive of what their children ate (those who agreed strongly with the statement "If I did not guide or regulate my child's eating, he/she would eat too much of his/her favorite foods") were more likely to have kids who they reported would eat too much if allowed.

How To Get Any Child To Eat Vegetables
Are School Lunch Programs Making Kids Fat?
If you have a fussy eater or a child who overeats, it probably isn't your fault. While this study doesn't rule out the possibility that kids are simply eating a certain way just to assert a little control over the dinner table, Laura Webber, doctoral student in the Health Behaviour Research Centre at University College London and lead author of the study, says that most likely the child's behavior is driving, not responding to, her mother's reaction.
Eating behaviors are usually inherited, Webber says, so chances are, a fussy eater isn't being fussy simply to get a rise out of her mother (or overeating just because she was told not to). Essentially, she adds, "it is important that mothers do not blame themselves for their children's eating behaviors."
Here are a few tips:
• Maintain control at the dinner table. "Mothers should take control and attempt to encourage their children to try new foods and eat healthily, rather than giving in to their demands," says Webber.

Recipe by NANCYMC
"This is a hearty potato soup that tastes like a creamy baked potato. I invented it to please a picky vegetarian daughter who pronounced it 'delicious'. Garnish with chives, shredded cheese or dried dill. Serve with a bread (flour tortillas, pita bread, sourdough or cornbread) and a salad or fruit."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 large
potatoes, peeled and diced
8 cups
1 (12 fluid ounce) can
evaporated milk
16 ounces
heavy cream
1/2 cup
sour cream
3 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon
onion salt
1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder
salt to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
I was very pleased with this recipe. Nice and simple. I left the potatoes a little lumpy when smashing because I didnt want a totally smooth soup.
Would be much better with corn (ham too if non-vegetarian route)
16 Ratings
This was a very delicious & fulfilling soup! All 3 of my children LOVED it.
i also have a teenage vegetarian as well as a meat-eating family. this soup satified everyone. we loved it
It was too bland for me. Ended up adding broccoli and cayenne, it helped a little.
I find this a great base for a hearty meal. We add just about anything you would add to a baked potato to the soup.
I thought this recipe was sort of bland, but made a good starting base. I added some fresh sliced mushrooms, carrots for flavor and color, and some crumbled bacon. The potatoes should be at least halved before cooking. I also added about a tablespoon of dried dill, and a few sprinkles of cinnamon. It was very good, thick and filling, but I don't think I would make this version again.
Although the recipe was pretty easy, we found it rather bland. I added parsley, shredded cheese, more garlic powder, and about 6 strips of crumbled bacon. It was do-able with that. I won't fix this particular recipe again. Sorry.

Unlike the ornery, tin can- and laundry-eating billy goats of our cartoon youth, goats are delightful creatures.
Goats are nurturers. Like many mortals, the Greek gods were nourished on goat milk. Zeus, born in a cave in Crete, was raised by the goat doe Amalthea. Dionysius, the god of wine, was also suckled on goat milk. To the ancients, goats were fertility symbols. The god of nature, Pan, had goat horns and feet, as did the satyrs.
And, as with the ancients, dairy goats provide their milk and their companionship. Goats are curious, friendly and affectionate. "For some wonderful reason," says writer Bill O'Halloren, "goats not only aren't afraid, but actually live for fun. Anyone who has seen a goat race headlong across a field then leap sideway into the air for the sheer joy of it knows what kicking up your heels really means. Because [goats] are almost totally fearless, they are splendid companions for the modern neurotic. There is something inherently soothing about watching goats, whether they are simply chewing their cuds or playing king of the mountain. Goats often seem to take immense delight in putting on a show for visitors, kicking, butting, running, jumping and generally raising hell."
"Goats are always testing you," says a character in Tom Robbins' novel, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. "They can tell instantly if you're faking your feelings. So they play games with you to keep you true. People should go to goats instead of psychiatrists."
Perhaps this is why attorneys, real estate developers, and investment bankers have retired from lives in the limelight, purchased goats, and pursued a "Green Acres" existence, enjoying life on the farm with their herd and making cheese. (If you've got a hankering to do so, contact any of the breeders whose goats grace this page.)
Dairy goats that can live comfortably into old age while producing a large amount of delicious milk. Dairies breed species for good milk flavor (other goats are bred for meat flavor).
An average mature dairy goat female weighs 150 pounds, and produces a gallon of milk per day. Top producers can average two gallons (compare that to a cow, which gives ten gallons of milk a day). You can purchase a mature doe in the range of $350 to $600, depending on breed and quality of production.
While there are hundreds of goat breeds worldwide, five major breeds of dairy goats are used to make cheese in the United States: Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Saanen and Toggenburg. Most dairies use several and vary them between the high milk producers and the high butterfat producers. The high butterfat breeds like LaMancha and Nubian make richer cheese, but don't produce enough milk to sustain a profitable operation: they might yield only one gallon of milk a day. Their milk is blended with that of more prolific breeds, like the Alpine, which might produce up to two gallons a day, to enable a larger production.
Alpine. First imported into this country from France via Cuba in 1922, the Alpine is a popular breed. Its short, fine coat comes in a variety of color patterns, but black with white stockings and facial markings is common. The breed can be highly individual in character.
LaMancha. The LaMancha breed was developed California, and is the only one of the five that lacks an external ear (it has a "gopher ear" or an "elf ear"). LaManchas can be any color from pure white to brown to black to dappled, and tend to carry a bit more fleshing than the four European breeds. Their milk is high in solids and butterfat content. They have an excellent temperament and are an all-around sturdy animal.
Nigerian Dwarf. The Nigerian Dwarf is a miniature breed of dairy goat originating in West Africa that has been developed in the United States only since the 1980's. The balanced proportions of the Nigerian Dwarf give it the appearance of the larger breeds of dairy goats, but stands no more than 22.5" high. For a tiny goat, it has exceptional milk production; and even young does regularly give birth to triplets and quads. No wonder the breed is growing in popularity. The goats come in broad spectrum of colors and patterns, as you can see in photos of the herd at Cornerstone Farm, which specializes in the breed.
Nubian. This breed is a cross of old English goats with the ancient goats of Egypt and India. It is the most popular breed in the United States, Nubians can be any color. They are characterized by their distinctive head: long, droopy ears and "Roman" noses. They have the highest butterfat and milk solids of the six dairy goat breeds.
Oberhasli. Smaller in numbers than the other breeds, the Oberhasli is rapidly growing in popularity. The goats are born in a beautiful array of colors from chestnut to bay-red (some does are born solid black.). They have a black dorsal stripe and black stockings.
Saanen. The Saanen originated in Saanen Valley of Switzerland, and is the largest of the dairy goat breeds. Pure white, with short, fine coats, they are known as "the Holsteins of the dairy goats." Calm-natured Saanens have high yields of milk.
Toggenburg. The Toggenburg, a chocolate brown goat, originated in Switzerland, a country known for...chocolate (of course, that's pure coincidence). The breed has white stockings and facial stripes. They tend to grow longer hair than other breeds, but when clipped for shows their coats look like brown velvet.

So it's almost that time.... HQ box sets should be shipping any day now and that means those of us who bought them should be getting them in the mail soon!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to make this thread so we can take pictures with our unique pieces of canvas we get. Also, I think it would be fair for us to trade canvases, because if someone happens to get the piece I drew of Mikey surfing, I would totally trade for it!! Of if you get Brandon's art, but want Ben's, etc. But if you're gonna come in here and try to sell it only for profit, I will virtually punch you and get your post deleted. This is not ebay and I don't take nicely to scumbags trying to make a quick buck off fans (that goes to you too SCALPERS). If you are going to trade, please use common sense and discretion. If some person who only has the default picture and no other posts but wants you to send the canvas to a PO box and pay you with moneygram, don't do it. Don't get scammed, be smart.
Otherwise, have fun, admire and envy other's canvases and good luck with your "booster pack" box sets because you never know what canvas you might get!

Becky, your piece was really easy to find inside the box cover! Did you find it yet?
Yes Debbie, I found it very easily too. I wish Kil's autograph hadn't gotten cut off.
Well, just be happy you didn't fall into my situation. By the way, I'm still waiting to hear from Topspin about why I didn't receive my book with my box set. It's really upsetting to see everyone being so excited about their set, yet here I am, with an incomplete set and no hope in sight of getting anything done about it. Probably won't be ordering anything from these people ever again in the future. And that still doesn't ease the fact that I got the SHAFT! I also doubt there's anything the band can do since this is pretty much out of their hands. First awful experience I've had concerning Incubus.Really sucks!
I am missing July 6 Vinyl Records in my set and still waiting on a response from topspin as well, there had to be some extra when they finished boxing these things up. If they made 2000 of them or whatever they have to exist somewhere! Hopefully someone responds to it. What email address did you send yours to?
You can go to the topspin media customer support website and submit a request. They will send you an automated response shortly then someone should get back to you soon after that. It's been four business (6 days if you count the weekend) since I've heard anything from anyone.
I'm sorry you have to be going through this as well. I guess I really need to check to make sure all my vinyl is in the sleeves, as I haven't done any of that yet.
You are certainly not alone. Guess how many CDs I got with my box set. Zero. Yep.
I really can not believe the incompetency over at Top Spin. Anyone want to band together and make an anti-Top Spin website? (At the least, I am going to post my experience in every applicable spot I can find if I don't get my CDs in a timely manner... but based on it taking them at least four business days to reply to your e-mail, I'm not getting my hopes up about ever getting the CDs. I'm afraid they're just going to offer me a full refund for sending it all back or just tell me tough luck. ARG!!!
Incubus, next time sell through a half decent company.
Thats woeful, i know they might of been in a hurry to get these things out but at least make sure they're right to go before sending them. I can see how they might of forgot to put my records in the sleeve but to send one out without all of the cd's would be hard to miss. I know they would have made X amount of each item in the box, and surely if im missing records your missing cd's and michael's missing his book there would had to have been some left over at the end of packing.
A 1 month delay and numerous people missing pieces of their set is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I was sorely upset about the book and you guys are missing the musical elements of your set so I can imagine your displeasure. It's actually been 7 days now (guess it just felt longer) since I've started my request through topspin. I have only received one reply from an actual human. They have not responded to any of my other emails at this point and am not sure they will. They really need to make right on this.
I will be submitting a complaint to the BBB if they do not respond in a few more days. Hopefully that will light a fire under their bums and get them to correct their mistake. I suggest you guys contact Topspin and get your requests going as well. If it takes a long time as it is with mine, then you too should probably submit a complaint to the BBB.
My e-mail to Top Spin went out yesterday. I'll resend that e-mail for every couple of days in which I don't get a response from Top Spin and by the time a week has passed without notification that my CDs are on the way, I will file a complaint with the BBB.
Any other good places to take our customer experience?
For now, let's take to Yelp:
Hey i got a response from them today and they said they are currently looking into this issue, i included in my email your complaints as well, don't know if thats the same response you got but it seems that something is happening. If we get anything from it is another question but i feel slightly better now that iv'e heard from them and they are going to talk to someone about the missing stuff.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Jessica Lacosse on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Apparently of Shakespearean origin. This was the name of the daughter of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice (1596). Shakespeare's source has not been established, but he presumably intended it to pass as a typically Jewish name. It may be from a biblical name that appeared, in the translations available in Shakespeare's day, as Jesca (Genesis 11:29; Iscah in the Authorized Version). This occurs in a somewhat obscure genealogical passage; Iscah appears to have been Abraham's niece. Notable bearers of the name include the British actress Jessica Tandy (1909–94), the British writer Jessica Mitford (1917–96), and the American actress Jessica Lange (b. 1949). The name has been extremely popular since the 1990s.

Good grief. My daughters, Jamie and Amy, asked me if I had read the headlines lately. Yes, I did. I was mortified by what I read. Shootings in my neighborhood;mass shootings in our nation. Car accidents claiming young lives. How much more tragic can this be?
That is when I thanked God for the blessing of dementia. Anyone reading this or who knows someone living with this disease realizes that we are locked into our own little worlds. I will not remember these things in a few hours, and for that, I am truly blessed. My world is now a simple one. I am so happy in the place my mind is letting me dwell.
I remember things from years past that most people have forgotten. Music from the '50s and '60s is a passion. I firmly believe a good song was never written after 1968, except for the disco era – how can you not love The Bee Gees and John Travolta?
A memory loss can be frustrating for a family. I have watched my own family's frustrations as I get side-tracked on a quest to find four-leaf clovers and end up in a place I am not familiar with. I have also been told that I wandered away and a very nice officer found me and helped get me home.
Jim, my husband, is having to install alarms on our doors and fill out special paperwork called Safe at Home. It is an emergency system for residents of Allen County. He got the form from Walgreens. For these things I am thankful. It gives my family peace of mind.
I cannot convey verbally my thoughts anymore, but writing them gives me an opportunity to go back and see where my thoughts were and change things if I need to. When speaking, you cannot do that. The words are garbled and speech is like an elusive sense that you cannot grasp.
Many of my friends are dealing with spouses and family members diagnosed with dementia. They are struggling to find good care, answers and a miracle medicine that will make it all disappear. In my lifetime I do not foresee that happening.
Please do not grieve for us; we are happy in our world. As I see it, it sure beats the headlines.

Parting Shot: Patton Oswalt's Star Wars/Avengers Rant In Film Poster Form
Following Patton Oswalt's fully improvised filibuster/rant on Parks and Recreation -- in which he spent nearly eight minutes sharing his pitch for a Star Wars/Marvel film crossover in the next installment in the Star Wars film franchise -- the folks at Entertainment Weekly have created a mash-up poster of all of his suggestions. All of this, of course, means we are now one step closer to this film being made. I mean, Disney once made a movie based on a theme park ride, so really anything can happen.

Debt Deficit Budget Debt History
Deficit: The amount by which the government's total budget outlays exceeds its total receipts for a fiscal year. US Senate Budget Committee
This year, FY 2015, the federal government in its latest budget has estimated that the deficit will be $564 billion.
Although the federal deficit is the amount each year by which federal outlays in the federal budget exceed federal receipts, the gross federal debt increases each year by substantially more than the amount of the deficit each year. That is because a substantial amount of federal borrowing is not counted in the budget. See here.
* Federal Deficit is budgeted.
† Some people have emailed to insist that the FY 2009 deficit should be assigned to Obama. But conventional wisdom maintains that the deficit in the first year of a president's first term belongs to his predecessor.
|Spend 101:
|Follow @chrischantrill
The federal debt increases each year by more than the deficit. For FY 2013 the federal budget estimates that the federal debt will increase by about $1 trillion. That's about $250 billion more than the official "deficit." See Federal Debt.
But there's more. There is the increase in debt from the "agency debt" of government-sponsored enterprises. And there is the implied deficit from unfunded liabilities like Social Security and Medicare. See chart of latest Long-term Budget Outlook from the Congressional Budget Office.
