I nominate her for Worst Dressed. The sad thing is, it's not a bad dress. Its just not right on her figure. I hate to say it, but I think it'll look better on a thinner girl, with no curves, a blazer and no tights.

Yikes. A different hair color/style & wearing a jacket and pants with a cinched waist would have been waaay more flattering

I know this sounds just so rude. She looks as big as a house in that dress. How unflattering.
holleighz 5 years
sequins and rhinestones are so of-the-moment, yet this dress looks outdated. usually find her adorable, even when she is a bit heavier, but sadly this is also so unflattering.
Florida-Snow 5 years
I thought the dress was apropos, just not the most flattering on her since she's gained so much weight. Poor thing, I love her music.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the GPlayer.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as EXETender Player or GamePlayer
belongs to software Free Ride Games Player or EXETender™ Client (version (64 Bit Beta)) or Verizon Games on Demand Player or qZone Games Player or Verizon Games Player or VIVA MEDIA GAME CENTER
by Exent Technologies (www.exent.com) or OXXOMedia.
Description: GPlayer.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. GPlayer.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 4,936,152 bytes (13% of all occurrences), 4,862,384 bytes and 23 more variants.
It is not a Windows system file. The process starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: DEFAULT\Run, Run). The file is digitally signed. GPlayer.exe is able to monitor applications and record keyboard and mouse inputs. Therefore the technical security rating is 35% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
You can also do the following:
1) uninstall Free Ride Games Player or Exent Technologies Ltd. software via Windows Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 8/7/Vista)
2) consult www.exent.com's Customer Service for advice.
Recommended: Identify GPlayer.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as GPlayer.exe. Therefore, you should check the GPlayer.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of GPlayer.exe: based on 25 votes with 19 user comments. 2 users think GPlayer.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 3 users think it's probably harmless. 3 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 10 users suspect danger. 7 users think GPlayer.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 9 users don't grade GPlayer.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with GPlayer. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the GPlayer.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

- As long as you are careful about the information you are using, you will find that the internet is a fantastic resource. Don't forget that you cannot depend on all the information that you are going to find on the internet and some of the stuff you find should be totally disregarded. As long as the websites you use have a good reputation, you can be pretty sure that you are going to find the information that you are looking for.
- It would be fantastic to be able to use someone from the trade so if you know anyone then you should pick their brains. A car mechanic is another great source of information because they usually have inside information about where the best deals can be found.
- There are some good motoring online web forums where you can go to ask for advice. But you still need to exercise some caution because when you are dealing with people online, you never really know who they are. You could be getting bad advice from people who have an agenda. You can usually tell whether the person you are communicating with is reliable from how others view them.
- If you think that the advice you are being given doesn't exactly ring true, then you would probably be better off ignoring it; always remember to trust your intuition.
Fridayad is just one of many good internet sites to buy your pre-owned cars and trucks from.But whenever you happen to look for used cars, it really is best to undertake an effective research beforehand. This analysis will make it easier to discover the most useful motor vehicles readily available for every single grouping you look at - fridayad.co.uk can really help on this count. When your researching is done, you would likely finish up with a awesome previously owned automobile. Better yet, you can actually look at a website just like friday-ad motoring.

Mail carrier is committing mail fraud
my postal carrier has been stealing, losing and holding back my packages for several months. he's under investigation by USPS and has been reprimanded. but he's still on my route and has started screwing with my packages again. it's all documented, but the USPS investigation is going at a snail's pace. this is mail fraud - but i have no idea where to turn next. attorney general? private lawyer? what kind of private lawyer?

Can I share the (marshmallow) love?
I have perfected homemade marshmallows and they are delicious! They are so delicious that I want to send some from San Francisco to a friend in England. The only trouble is that the marshmallows have a coating of white powder (confectioners' sugar and a little cornflour) to ensure they don't stick together and create one big mess.

Going postal over delivery failures.
Here we go again: This is now multiple times that the wonderful USPS has, given a package sent to me through their service, made the tracking unavailable until after the date they supposedly delivered and then claimed that it's been delivered when I've had no sign of it. Where do I actually find out what the handling policies of the USPS are supposed to be, and who can I complain to that's higher than my local branch? [more inside]
Did we anger our letter carrier with our gift?
My wife and I moved into a new house this year, with a different mailman and a different UPS driver. Since we just had our first baby, all of our holiday shopping has been online. To express our thanks for their efforts, we bought some gourmet chocolates from a local chocolate shop for them, and left a nice card attached to both. Neither was accepted, just left sitting where we left them. Did we run afoul of some UPS and USPS regulation, or was it a crappy gift?

is my awesome present for someone simply lost forever?
The US Postal Service said my package was 'undeliverable' despite the fact that I live at the address provided, and get all my mail here. They didn't make another attempt. The tracking said it will be returned to sender if possible. This was about a month ago. I emailed them, and got a response that basically said 'oops, sorry. this kind of thing can happen. we have a lot mail to deal with and don't track anything and you are basically screwed.' Do I have any recourse? [more inside]
Have I been given the wong (tracking) number here ?
I've ordered a dress on behalf of the wife and it is being made and shipped from the Ukraine. They have given us a tracking number, but I suspect it is an incorrect one: The number supplied starts with RA, then has 9 digits and ends with UA. I've looked at the USPS Track & Confirm page and there is no RA suffix, only RE - and they always end in US, not UA So have I been given bogus info ?

Was my letter really delivered on the 4th of July?
I sent a certified letter to a large business last week and just checked its status on the USPS web site to see if it had been delivered. The site tells me that my letter was indeed delivered. On July 4. Which is a Federal holiday. On which they don't deliver the mail. Okay, I guess the Federal observance of Independence Day was on the 5th this year, but that's only because the 4th was a Sunday, On which they also don't deliver the mail. So does this make sense? Do they really deliver mail on Sunday and the 4th of July?

Eugene Milhizer Receives Honorary Paul Harris Fellowship Award
Eugene R. Milhizer, president and dean of Ave Maria School of Law was presented an honorary Paul Harris Fellowship by The Rotary Club of Bonita Springs at its June 11 meeting. The Fellowship is named for Paul P. Harris, an attorney who founded Rotary in 1905. Established in 1957, the award acknowledges the efforts of those who contribute to the humanitarian and educational programs of The Rotary Foundation.
'Rotarians may designate a Paul Harris Fellow award to persons whose lives and values demonstrate a shared purpose with Rotary's objectives and mission," said Gregory T. Holtz, a member of The Rotary Club of Bonita Springs Board of Directors and an adjunct professor at Ave Maria School of Law. "I have designated Dean Milhizer to honor and recognize his contribution to our profession and to our law school."
In May 2006, Dean Milhizer was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Ave Maria School of Law, and in April 2009, he was appointed Acting Dean of the Law School. During the summer of 2009, under his leadership, the Law School successfully accomplished the unprecedented feat of relocating from its Michigan location to a campus in Naples, Florida. In January 2010, Dean Milhizer was appointed the Law School's second President and Dean.
Dean Milhizer has emphasized strengthening the law school's Catholic identity, as reflected by the strong enrollment of Catholic and mission-oriented students, the unprecedented attendance at and support of the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., and his outspoken advocacy of religious liberty.
He has presented lectures, speeches, and seminars at law schools and other venues across the country, and his legal scholarship has been published in many prestigious law journals. He is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, a Member of the Florida Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism, and was a Member of the Michigan Supreme Court Committee on the Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Under his leadership as Dean, the Advanced Critical Thinking Department was formed, the school's first named chair was established, the co-curricular International Law Journal was launched, and the Curriculum Advisory Board and the Alumni Advisory Council were created.
Dean Milhizer is a retired Army Judge Advocate. He is a native of the Detroit, Michigan area, and holds BA (high distinction) and JD degrees from the University of Michigan, and an LL.M degree from the Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he was the first honor graduate in his class and thereafter taught for a three-year appointment.
"I am honored to receive this wonderful recognition, and it reflects well on all of the hard work and dedication of the Ave Maria School of Law faculty and staff," said Dean Milhizer.

I don't have to explain or locate anything. I have it here in 3 texts and I took the excerpt from one and posted it here."
Surely you did, and you called me an idiot for not being able to find the one quote I should have had at hand. See the attachments.
" So, you did post it.
I merely questioned the utility of the data."
And now you are trying to shoot the messenger. Make your question available to ANSI. Maybe they'll listen to you.
"In fact, photograde must apply to all stages of photochemistry, and thus you cannot have a developer photograde and a fixer photograde chemical. "
That is a stupid comment. We have had for years different grades for precision lab work and practical photo processing. You yourself or Kirk said that Kodak used ANSI specs in production.
"Photograde is photograde and a photograde borax must be free of potassium and that should be in the specifications. This alone renders the specification above suspect to me."
before you suspect it, you should look into the probability of potassium being in technical grade borax.
"I'm glad people love your chemistry instructions, but I warn you that there is up to a 20% error in volumetric measurments of solids. This can affect image tone and speed among other things if the error is in bromide being used for a mix of D-72 (Dektol) for example."
Before I "published" the article for Petersens Photographic in 1973, I did statistical sampling tests of the chemicals I proposed fot use. I also did tests where I varied the measurements by more the the 3 sigma amount. I gave methods for determining the number of teaspoons in a pound or other weight unit that came from a manufacture like Kodak so that the variation from one batch could be accounted for.
So, there is playing in the darkroom for fun, and high quality darkroom work.
"For that matter, in emulsion making and coating, I am restricted to what amounts to me as playing due to the limitations in chemicals and equipment available on my budget. But, I do try to keep the lab procedures as correct as possible."
You are not the only quality conscious person around. You may be the only one who believes implicitly in the label on the package you get.

Nalbach: Compact robots
See it at PACK EXPO Las Vegas Booth #C-1925! Nalbach's Motoman MH5F and MH5LF robot models are compact and powerful robots designed for small parts assembly, material handling, and packaging.
The "slim arm" design reduces potential interference between the robot tooling and upper arm. This new design also improves the B-axis range of motion and shortens the distance between the B-axis and the T-axis mounting flange, providing increased carrying capacity.
With a payload of 5kg, the compact design allows maximum performance using minimal floor space. Open architecture enables programming and control through a wide variety of platforms. The robots feature floor-, wall- or ceiling-mounted options, and brakes on all axes. Internally routed cables and hoses maximize system reliability. User utility connections on top of the upper arm provide better cable management.

Aptos Burger Company is approaching it's 11th birthday. It's located in the Rancho Del Mar shopping center, which will undergo big changes after its recent purchase by Safeway.
A Taste of Things to Come
When The True Olive Connection opened up in Downtown Santa Cruz in November 2010 with a fine collection of olive oils from all over the world, the store was an instant hit. It filled a niche for shoppers and tourists – providing a place to taste gourmet olive oil in a beautiful setting.
Olive oil has been a staple of Mediterranean and other cuisines for hundreds of years, but is now showing up in pantries across the United States. As people become more health conscious, the days of cooking in unhealthy fats are dwindling.
Start saving your eggshells, because it's almost time to plant tomatoes. Love Apple Farm's annual heirloom seedling sale is under way at a new venue; Ivy's Porch in Scotts Valley.
Ivy's porch is a one-acre collective, on Scotts Valley Drive just south of Victor Square, specializing in home decor, antiques, and collectibles. Beautiful gardens feature topiaries and statuary. The Farm has planted a garden which showcases attractive combinations of ornamental and edible plants.

Funds raised at the Gala will support The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C. in its efforts to assist families, caregivers, and guardians in the daily management of prevention and awareness as well those affected with chronic disease.
The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C. intends to launch an innovative learning environment that alleviates gaps in disease management and healthy living while delivering effective daily education.
"As the parent of a child with diabetes, one of my greatest daily worries is whether she'll survive outside of my direct care," said Sabrina Gardner, founder of The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C. We need a continuum of innovative health and educational services blended with support systems where students spend the vast majority of their day.
About The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C
The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C., will be the first school/academy in the U.S. to cater to the direct needs of students and their families who struggle with diabetes and other medical health issues. The academy is incorporated by The University of The State of New York Board of Regents and The New York State Education Department. Sabrina Gardner, founder of the Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C., was inspired by the struggles of managing consistent daily care for her own child who has Type 1 juvenile diabetes. For more information about The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C., please visit www.educationanddiseaseprevention.org.
The Diabetes Health and Wellness Academy of N.Y.C. envisions blended relationships between student, parents, caregivers and specialists incorporated with education on a daily basis as a solution to the challenge of consistent chronic disease management. "Our learning environment will provide students with the support to become active participants in disease management and guardians of their own ongoing health," says Gardner.
The 2014 Annual Gala and Fundraiser will feature live entertainment, beverages, buffet and noted area speakers and honorees, including:
· Dr. Gerald W. Deas: Professorship in Preventive Medicine, Visionary, Writer, Educator, Poet and Philanthropist

I cut a pattern out of tissue paper that rustled and crinkled like an autumn leaf.
Melanie pushed the tissue paper aside and gazed adoringly at the Dior bag she had splurged on for her 37th birthday.
But instead of frilly unmentionables under the tissue paper, there were pages and pages of printed-out signatures and comments.
Butters kept staring, stone still, the tissue box perfectly balanced.
Doctors also inserted a "tissue expander" that would spread out the healthy skin on his head.
These sacs and tubes are held in place by a loose meshwork of tissue.
She lined the hat with, tissue paper and then, put it on his head again.
Was there ever such a tissue of inconsistencies assembled as in these pleasure hunts?
The covers were electrified and clung to him like tissue to rubbed amber.
Emma McChesney regarded them listlessly when the nurse lifted them out of their tissue wrappings.
mid-14c., "band or belt of rich material," from Old French tissu "a ribbon, headband, belt of woven material" (c.1200), noun use of tissu "woven, interlaced," past participle of tistre "to weave," from Latin texere "weave" (see texture). The biological sense is first recorded 1831, from French, introduced c.1800 by French anatomist Marie-François-Xavier Bichal (1771-1802). Tissue-paper is from 1777, supposedly so called because it was made to be placed between tissues to protect them. Meaning "piece of absorbent paper used as a handkerchief" is from 1929.
tissue tis·sue (tĭsh'ōō)
An aggregation of morphologically similar cells and associated intercellular matter acting together to perform specific functions in the body. There are four basic types of tissue: muscle, nerve, epithelial, and connective.

This little guy's got boo-alls, if nuthin else.
"I came here to kick butt and chew bubble gum…and I can't afford bubble gum!"
I'm not used to see such references to violence in a Nancy strip…..I can't bear to look- tell me when it's over!
The world is run by the use of force. People, especially liberals, need to learn that.
the boy has a big set of oranges. ok sluggo go clean house-thanks guy
Plenty of examples to choose from: Communists (Russia, China), Fascists (Italians, Chileans, Ba'athists), Socialists (Germans), Theocrats (Iranians) and Monarchists (too many examples to list here).
"Sluggo Balboa"
Liberals penned our Declaration of Independence, then waged a war to win our Liberty. After our Liberal Founders won our Independence from the Brits, conservatives – then known as 'Tory' who had sided with the Brits against the United States of America were shunned, beaten, tarred and feathered, run out of town on a rail, and/or hung. Most left for Nova Scotia, some for England.
conservatives should learn the truth.
These are not examples of liberals.
Were there mixed martial arts in the 30's or is this more of "on any given day, age is from the present time backwards"?
It's reality folks. How many times have you either experienced bullies or seen it as you were growing up? Wish I had a Sluggo around wihen I was coming up, or maybe it was a good thing for me to fight my own battles?? I took no prisoners and not ashamed that I got suspened 6 times in one school year defending myself from bullies.
Sluggo is winking. That must mean he's lying about knowing any martial arts!
Ha, ha- that's funny!
WInk + calling Nancy "beautiful" = he's flirting.
If our Founding Fathers were Liberals, they must be turning over in their graves to see what today's Liberals have become.

BURLINGTON The prospective owner of a mall in downtown Burlington has some big plans to bring some big-name retailers to town.
Devonwood Investors of New York City is set to close on the Burlington Town Center mall next week.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Devonwood plans to add a new anchor tenant, such as L.L. Bean, to draw more shoppers to the area.
Formerly confidential records obtained by the newspaper also make mention of expanding the mall to accommodate a big-box store and names Target as an example.
In its memo filed with the city, Devonwood also says it is contemplating a hotel with meeting and conference facilities.

JavaDesktop milestone
More than 200 projects strong
Roger Brinkley announces that the
JavaDesktop Community tops 200 projects. He writes "What excites
me the most about the 204 projects is the distribution of the projects
between incubator, linked, and full fledged projects." He goes on to
detail the projects of different types in the community and sets 300
projects as a goal to be reached by the end of this
year. Congratulations and thank you to Roger Brinkley and Kathy
Walrath for their leadership and hard work in making the JavaDesktop
community so successful.

Garbage collection - not a panacea . He writes " Sometimes a Java
developer is falsely lulled into creating a lot of objects by thinking
that the garbage collector will make the ends meet. It actually does,
but the price is very high."He provides an example from profiling the

Validating Objects Through Metadata, Jacob Hookom shows how he
used annotation to provide validation to method calls in his
application - attributes indicate which methods are to be validated
and in what way, and reflection code picks up these attributes and
implements them at runtime.
You've heard it before - when it comes to refactoring (and much of
what we do as Java developers), Smalltalk had it long before Java was
even a language. In href="http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2005_01/column1"> Refactoring as
Meta Programming? Dave Thomas writes Once we accept that it is
useful to write programs (queries) to understand programs, it is a
natural progression to think about other meta programs that would be
useful. [..] We conjecture that it may be fruitful to look at
refactoring as a domain-specific programming language for making
specific program transformations. Further, a programming environment
that readily supported such a language would most certainly support a
wide variety of tools for program understanding and development."

Sundeep Kapur | October 18, 2012 | Comments
Need a big list? Want to ask for preferences or build a community? How do you measure ROI? Look no further.
So you need a big list? May I suggest a three-step approach to build up your list? First, try to get more than just one point of contact - ask for an email ID, a mobile number, and other relevant contact information. Second, get the consumer to confirm what they signed up for by delivering their first confirmation campaign in as near real time as possible (don't let them forget who you are). Third, look at the engagement ratio - not just the number of messages sent. For email, your metric should be to continuously improve your opens and clicks over the total number of sends.
You have to find new names but you also have to keep your open rates and engagement high.
So you want to ask for preferences? What is the point of asking for information if you cannot (or do not) use the information to create a relevant dialogue with your consumer? A successful preference strategy includes capturing three types of preferences - consumer provided preferences, observed preferences, and implied preferences. Use all of the interaction opportunities to build up the amount of information that you know about your consumers.
It is not just about asking for preferences but using and knowing these preferences when you communicate with your consumer.
So you want to build community? Do not get into the trap of just trying to boost the number of "likes." You will find yourself with a lot of "likes" and a small amount of authentic engagement. For Facebook, you should strive to improve the ratio of your "talking about us" divided by the "number of likes." While I do enjoy "likes," I prefer comments, and I really love "shares." I want my community to be active and assume their role as ambassadors that can represent my brand.
It is not just about creating community but about having an active community that can provide different advice to consumers.
So how do you measure ROI? Many brands message their consumers via digital channels (email, mobile, and social) because digital is cheaper and quicker than traditional messaging channels. Some brands are more successful because they leverage their analytics for segmentation, personalization, and to convert on their transactions. The best marketers try to use the power of digital messaging by driving the consumer to multiple channels. Brands need to establish measurement metrics for each channel and evaluate the impact of driving consumers across channels.
It is not just about measuring ROI on the digital channels. You should measure the impact of digital on your other channels.
So you think your channels are trained? Brands spend a lot of time and money on creating posters, comment cards, and surveys to capture consumer feedback. So much of consumer advertising is used to get the consumer to come in and connect with the brand. Brands even provide their employees with legalese and scripts (boring stuff) to read to the consumer to provide their contact information. The bigger opportunity actually lies in training your employees and touch points about the campaigns. If your touch points can speak with empathy, they will successfully connect with the consumer.
It is not just about sending information to your consumers, it is more important that you train your employees and channels so they can become conversational.
Focus on growing your list, but pay close attention to improving engagement. Ask your consumers for their preferences and work those preferences into your messaging. Leverage your community to speak for your brand. Insist on cross-channel ROI measurement. Use digital to let your employees know about campaigns. And most of all be empathetic, relevant, and pragmatic.
Join us at SES Chicago for a full day of comprehensive learning, case studies, and best practices that will help you improve digital marketing. I am hosting a full-day workshop to boost your email marketing to a higher level. Remember, it is all about improving engagement by creating interactive conversations with those you serve.

The pulpit complains that people are indifferent to religion. Why shouldn't they be? It is about time they were indifferent to it. Our wonder is, that the people tolerate a single priest or church on Earth. Of what benefit is religion to mankind? Come now, ye that uphold religion, tell us what it does to make the world better, nobler, truer? Why should man worship God? Why should he build thousands of costly churches all over the Earth, and pay priests and ministers large salaries to preach and pray in these churches?
If the churches were the humblest buildings in the land; if the ministers and priests were paid no more than carpenters or spinners, if there were any agreement between what religion professes to be and what it is as matter of fact, then less could be said in the way of condemnation of religion. But you think that men who live in hovels can respect men who preach in palaces as followers of the man of Nazareth? The thing is too ridiculous. The world is beginning to see how it has been hum-bugged, and it is becoming indifferent. It may in time become indignant. There will then be occasion for ministers to be alarmed.
But just now the people have reached a condition of utter indifference respecting religion. They don't care for it. They don't care to build it up or tear it down. They don't care whether it is good or bad. They don't care anything about it. Some regret this state of things; we rejoice in it. It shows that the people are thinking, and when the people think long enough they will find what is true and right.

Obama: 'Constructive' Budget Talks To Continue; Leaders To Meet Sunday
Saying that today's White House meeting with Congressional leaders was "very constructive," President Obama just announced that budget negotiations will continue through the weekend and that he'll be meeting with Congressional leaders again on Sunday.
And when they reconvene, Obama said, it will be "with the expectation that at that point, the parties will at least know where each others' bottom lines are."
Lawmakers, he added, know there will be "pain involved politically on all sides" in any agreement.
This follows word earlier today that the Democratic president and Republican leaders in Congress might have bridged most of the gap between their positions on how to shrink the federal deficit and, hopefully, start chipping away at the more than $14 trillion federal debt.
Update at 1:27 p.m. ET. No "Social Security Plan" From The White House:
Responding to reports earlier today that the president would be suggesting some type of changes to the Social Security program during these deficit reduction talks, White House spokesman Jay Carney just told reporters that is "simply not the case. The president's position on Social Security is today what it was in January. ... [That] Social Security is not a contributor to our short and medium-term deficit problem."
Carney said Obama is willing to talk about the need to strengthen Social Security, without slashing benefits, as part of a long-term discussion about spending — in other talks, presumably.
Update at 1:25 p.m. ET. White House Says Both Sides Will Compromise:
"No single plan is going to be the plan that emerges from these negotiations," White House spokesman Jay Carney just told reporters.
Update at 1:23 p.m. ET: Asked about a comment earlier in the day from House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) that everything is on the table except raising taxes on the American people, White House spokesman Jay Carney just said that behind closed doors at the meeting, "there was a constructive atmosphere." And, said Carney, "everyone recognizes" that deficit and debt reduction "requires balance."
