Fable II: See the Future Xbox 360
- Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
- Release Date: May 12, 2009
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The new missions are great to play through, and it is exciting to see what the name of the add-on means, and to know that there has to be additional add-ons coming in the future.
The new story elements, while brief, are still welcome, and features like the new dog types and the Colosseum will keep people coming back.
See The Future offers great items, haircuts and even three new dog breeds, but as a game it is quite scanty. In a nutshell it is rather disappointing because some funny innovations can't compensate for poor mission design.
It boasts some great new missions and items alike, despite the lack of additional gameplay it brings.
It's hard not to feel sympathy for the funny concept of See the Future, but its main content it's brief and certainly inconsistent. Amusing quests and its low price are the main reasons to pay attention to this.
A brief excursion back into the Fable II world. Not nearly as long as we would have hoped, though the low price tag makes up for that somewhat. The quests are more diverse than in the last DLC. Gives another reason to have a look back into Fable II, even if it is only for a few hours.
Overall, the DLC is still short. One can blow through all the quests in two and a half hours. That being said, gamers who played Fable II, beat it, and enjoyed it, but ultimately shelved it after one play-through won't find anything compelling enough to bring them back. Contrastingly, Fable II nuts will find a good excuse to jump back into one of the gems of 2008, and get a glimpse, albeit a short one, into what's in store for the Fable universe.
It's hard to hand out a recommendation for the content in Fable 2: See the Future considering how it seems to revel in pulling the plug on you, not to mention the fact that the glimpse of the future you get to see is fleeting and not at all memorable.
Fable 2 See the Future feels more of a package than the previous Knothole Island DLC and is another good reason to buy the main game or to revisit Albion.
While See the Future certainly lengthens the Fable II experience, it does little to expand it.
The two new quests are fun, but the brevity of the download and the lame hint at the future left me feeling let down.
While See the Future undoubtedly delivers on its title, giving you a single feverish glimpse of a potential new direction for the series, this odd collection of entertainments offers far more than a mere early-warning hype machine dressed up with a few free haircuts for your dog. In its cheeky refusal to conform, it's also a chance to see Albion's present, and take another look at a game that's both fascinating and gently flawed.
Don't get me wrong, See The Future is an enjoyable couple of hours, but for $7, you're probably better off getting a goldfish … it might have more life in it.
It's a relatively satisfying 3-hour adventure for around 6 dollars (540 MS Points). But if a continuation of the story is the only thing you're looking for, than you're better off waiting for the inevitable Fable 3.
Hopefully the future of Fable won't be any more downloads, as this is another waste of both time and money.
As a Fable II fan, it pains me to say this, but "See the Future" is a gauche and ultimately boring addition to Fable II.

Quiz app for Andriod Apr 22 2012 20:52:36

Project Budget£20 GBP
Total Bids1
Project Description
I have notice on the site you have coded a quiz before so I hope that you can help me with your expertize.
My Project:
I would like my engineering students to have a simple quiz app on their android phones.
The quiz app would help them with their exam revision.
First of all a Splashscreen that is shown for 3 seconds and then go to a menu screen before the programs starts.
The plashscreen and menu will be updated by me with each new quiz.
I have all my exam data on pdf and would like to convert this to the app, maybe from DB.
The question totals are around 50-200.
It should be straightforward for me to add the questions, multiple choice answers (4-5) and explanations to the app.
Some questions also have a small engineering jpeg or exhibit.
From a menu screen i'd like three options:
1) multiple choice quiz: random questions with 4 or 5 possible answers (radio buttons)
At the end of the quiz, along with the quiz score, the user will be given the option to repeat or review incorrect questions.
The final page will show all the questions together with the correct answer.
2) a few static pages of text for revision notes in various topics
3) an "about" button with my email address
So basically I need the shell that will allow me to create as many new quizzes as I need, with new content that can
be easily updated.
* I would like the app to run as standalone and not connect to the web for content. Users will download.
I will own the full source code, app and all copyrights etc.
The source code will be well documented.
The architecture must allow for future addition of new APIs.
Depending on your quality of work, I might contact you for further future development of this project.
Developer must have a can do attitude and be willing to provide feedback and ideas.
The app should work on all android versions and systems including tablets.
The system design should be flexible for easy extension to other mobile OS such as Apple iPhone/iPad
Developer is an end-to-end solutions provider.
All testing will be 100% your responsibility. Bugs and other compatibility problems found after releasing will be your
responsibility for up to 1 month after release.
Thanks in advance.

Anne Frank's stepsister Eva Schloss has been describing how she survived the Auschwitz concentration camp, "The human spirit is amazing, hope is amazing - I was one of the few lucky ones".
She told BBC World's Stephen Sackur how her mother went on to marry Anne's father Otto and how he helped her to overcome her bitterness at the world.
Talking about her new memoir After Auschwitz: A Story of Heartbreak and Survival, she described how she also felt a sort of jealousy at the attention focused on her dead stepsister.

How about a picture of a 200 gallon pot in your mag. Do you own a backhoe?
Just kidding. I think you meant 20 and 10 gallon which are used for trees.
For Barbara - I am in Southern Ontario 5a. Even when overwintering in
plastic posts above ground (which I then bury in leaves), I try to fill the
pots to the brim with soil and then shake it off in the spring when I
uncover them. Thus no place for water to pool and freeze.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

too bland
i tried many brands and taste of cereal, this is the most tasteless cereal I've ever tried. It's not bad though, you won't consume too much sugar or sodium. If you want to add more flavour, maybe you can add fruit or granola to the milk.
Crunchy Bite-Sized Goodness!
Posted by 5692229277735783169 on Jul 01, 2016
When Arrowhead Mills write they offer all natural products, they are not kidding! The ingredients in the Shredded Wheat are wheat and vitamin E to preserve freshness. That's it! Zero saturated fat. Zero trans fat. And.. it just gets better. No fat, high fiber, unsalted, vegan, plus just good old-fashioned tasty! This food is excellent and I intend to order more when I finish this review. No kidding. You try it too!
I'm lovin it!
Posted by 4642239243249625396 on Jan 15, 2016
I have been into shredded wheat cereals lately, and I am disappointed that iHerb does not have many of them, because we do not have them where I live and wanted to order them regularly over the web. Some reviewers mentioned that it is tasteless, but it would taste much much better if you mix it with some additions. I eat it every morning with milk, a bit of honey and pieces of strawberries (I also sprinkle some seeds over it like chia or psyllium), and the result is really good and tasty. I like how low the sugar is and how high the fiber is compared to the majority of cereals in the market. I'm definitely ordering this cereal again. I tried it once and it might become a favorite when I try it more!
Posted by SophieNva on Mar 08, 2015
it is a great variant for breakfast - very tasty and nourishing, especially with rice milk. YUM!
A little bland...
Posted by 5202269199585294729 on May 20, 2014
I grew up eating (and loving) Shredded Wheat. There seems to be something lacking in the flavor of this brand though...it tastes very flat compared to what I remember.
Needs salt.
Posted by Reviewer1662056 on Jul 13, 2012
Not good without adding salt. A few grains of salt makes all of the difference in the world. Good with salt, not good without it.

Promiscious men of springfield

#1 Dec 5, 2012
Any age and race etc list some promiscious men to steer clear of and why?
#2 Dec 7, 2012
Aren't all men promiscious? And these days, seems like the girls have caught up! When else in history can a girl test over 5 different guys and still not find the father of her child? And then be proud to live on welfare and never make anything of herself?
#3 Dec 7, 2012
Amy, I am your father. Stop asking stupid questions and come back to the dark side.

I just here about some of these guys that have severel kids by many different women,and just like anywhere else people sleep around. And som guys want to be players and womanize its scary and hard to find a good guy in soringfield!
#5 Dec 11, 2012
In my opinion, nobody has enough self esteem to make sure that the person they are with is worthy of their time. You sleep around, drink, do drugs...what do you think you're going to end up with? Definitely not a decent guy. Most decent guys don't want anything to do with a girl like that anyway, so yeah, they are going to be hard to find.
People need to get their lives on track before they worry about having someone to share their bed with. Get an education, do for yourself, then worry about finding a mate and having kids. Don't be a statistic!

Most humans have a past that they want to change we all make mistakes when we are young but its the grown and unresponsible ho's(men and women) still doing the same bedhopping they did wen they was 20.

"he do pay good"? How will any child you bear ever be able to pull themselves out of a life of illiteracy and poverty, with a mother like you? Society isn't interested in raising your children for you. You need to be spayed and your "baby daddy" needs to be neutered.

It may not be quite in the same league as Froch v Groves but when Manchester hosts its second grudge fight in three weeks the set-to will be just as ferocious and personal.
It features a couple of combative 22-year-olds seeking to settle a score dating back to London 2012 when taekwondo rivals Aaron Cook and Lutalo Muhammad became embroiled in a bitter dispute which rocked Britain's Olympic preparations.
Muhammad was controversially selected ahead of the then world No 1 Cook for the British team. A year before, Cook had quit GB Taekwondo's coaching programme to train in his Dorset garage, believing he was best off preparing outside the establishment.
GB's performance director Gary Hall had insisted there was no "witch-hunt" against Cook because of this, but that Muhammad's fighting style was felt to be more "tactically beneficial".
The British Olympic Association initially declined to ratify Muhammad's nomination with Cook claiming he was being "cheated" out of a place at the Games but after a lengthy and expensive appeals process he lost his case.
The pair have not met or spoken since but are now scheduled to clash in the under-80kg division at next weekend's inaugural World Grand Prix, an event which brings together 250 top international competitors seeking qualification points for the Rio Olympics.
Muhammad represents Team GB while Cook will compete under the Manx flag, having binned his GB vest and switched his allegiance to the Isle of Man, who he will represent in next year's Commonwealth Games under their government rule allowing athletes eligibility if they relocate to the island to help develop sport in the community.
While Cook insists he bears no animosity towards Muhammad ("It wasn't his fault, it was those working against me behind the scenes") he still feels resentful. On the day of last year's Olympic final that he had spent years working towards, Cook was a few miles away from the Excel venue feeling heartily sick.
He recalls: "It should have been me in there fighting for that gold medal. I felt my dream had been stolen from me. I was absolutely in pieces, in tears and literally sick to the stomach. I had been cheated of my Olympic dream."
Both he and Muhammad are clean-cut, articulate spokesmen for "the way of the fist and the foot". The Walthamstow-born Muhammad, a European champion at under-87kg who went on to claim a surprise bronze in London, says of Cook: "He took things too far. I think his constant appeals were nasty and unnecessary." He was also the target of hate-mail. "A lot of the stuff that I received I don't want to even repeat, it was quite hurtful."
But he adds: "This sort of rivalry makes it dramatic and exciting for the fans. I'm quite enjoying it." And he is equally bullish about the outcome. "There's going to be fireworks, but I'm ready and confident. With everything that went on between me and Mr Cook there is definitely a score to settle.
"If it is half as good as Froch and Groves, which I watched, it should be a cracking contest. I just hope the ending won't be as controversial."
Unlike Froch and Groves, both enriched by seven-figure purses, neither will get a penny for their pains. "It's simply the satisfaction of proving who is the better man," says Cook. "We've both got a point to prove but there's only going to be one winner." Muhammad smiles: "We'll see. Let's bring it on."

If you saw my lights last year... this is the 2nd year of my stellar light show. This year I'm going from 16 channels to 48 channels of control. Adding signing faces to some of my music and SUPER BRIGHT Multicolored LEDS. The building and planning all start NOW... Show will begin on OCT 14th to Halloween.
Halloween Show 2012
Music is played via a FM Transmitter to the people driving by on their car stereo. And this sign lights up when the show starts:
Music is
THIS IS HALLOWEEN from the Nightmare before Christmas
GHOSTBUSTERS from Ghostbusters the movie
MONSTER MASH good Classic face singing song
THRILLER (shorted version) edited for time
BOOM BOOM POW Black Eyed Peas.. Nice mix for singing faces
It all starts with the music... So once that is done the music is edited to the nth degree to get the timing just perfect. None of this process is automatic.
Building 7 lighted pumpkin faces
Pumpkins are made from wood 2ft by 2ft... Freehand of course, I made a couple of apples before I finally got the pumpkin design down.
I think this one is an APPLE?
Once painted you see how they become Pumpkins.
The parts are direct from CHINA... 20 AMP DC Power supply to handle the power requirements for this unit. All in an enclosed weatherproof box. Communications are done via RS485 serial to tell the unit which lights to turn on and off. As you can see this is not a turn key setup and a lot of work goes into making it look as if it is.
Assembling the controller.. 16 more channels
Done... Complete with 20 Amp DC Power Unit. This unit runs LEDS only. 16 separate channels. I have 1 more of these to assemble.
Pumpkin (before face painting), Single IKEA LED light on a whip it mounted to the top of the stem. All the pumpkins get this treatment and controlled in sync to the music.
Building the Tombstones: Standard Orange Christmas Light string stapled to a piece of MDF painted white
Attach 1 dollar store Tombstone to the front with another set of purple lights embedded into the tombstone.
The result.. There are 3 of these.
One Face welded up.. This is the smallest one. Just used 1/2 Conduit, Spray painted to reduce rusting.
Welding up one of the faces that will be mounted in the windows. I have several of these to build. These will SING in sync to the music. This is my smallest one, just 5' by 6'
Second Face welded up
Then there is a LARGE ONE
The large one will be a 16' face lined with 300 super bright 5050 LEDS.
Staged the Garage... Waiting for October
Testing some LED's. This is and Old School VU Meter, like old radios have. Adding this to the show. 7 groups of lights on this one, 4 green, 2 orange and 1 red
Window EYE mounted..
Pumpkins all mounted.. They each have a small LED light on them.
My house is on a hill... So this is what you'll see.
518 SE Espinosa
Estacada, OR
Overlooking the city of Estacada's Downtown.
7:00 PM - 9:30 PM Nightly.

Woman allegedly attempted to kill boyfriend with breast
A German woman was arrested after she allegedly attempted to kill a man by choking him with her breasts.
According to Your Jewish News, Franziska Hansen, 33, attempted to kill Tim Schmidt, 30, because she was jealous of his career.
Hansen said she felt it was a sex game gone wrong, but Schmidt felt it was intentional. She later admitted to trying to kill him.
Hansen later admitted the plot during a phone conversation, he said. She said: "Treasure. I wanted your death to be as pleasant as possible."
Schmidt escaped Hansen and ran naked to a neighbor's house, where he called police.

I need to develop a simple Proxy Cache Server
This project received 10 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $645 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$250 - $750 USD
Total Bids10
Project Description
There are several open source product that do Proxy-Cache. The most known are Squid, and also can mention Privoxy.
We need to develop a simple proxy cache service based in one of those services, or even better, from the scratch that can run in Windows and Linux.
The objective is that the windows proxy-cache (CLIENT) can receive pre fetched objects (images, css, js, flash) from one component in the SERVER side and the client instead of requesting the object directly to the web server, wait for the server. That means that the server has to analyze the requested web page and send all the objects that the page has in the HTML code. One of the requirements is send one compress file with all objects.
The Client should be a Proxy-Cache server that store Object in a Cache. It will communicate with a Server Components that will analyze the HTML and request very fast all objects and create one compressed file to the client.
I need someone with deep knowledge in HTTP protocol, that can understand very well life cycle of a web object, and be able to create new software from the scratch if needed and maybe joint piece of software from Squid or Privoxy.
This project will be a prototype, not a final product. We need to test some theories before doing the final product, and we need something quick and cheap. If we success, we can hire your services as a freelancer for a bigger project.

Rabbi David Saperstein confirmed as U.S. ambassador for religious freedom
The Senate has confirmed Rabbi David Saperstein as the State Department's ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, making him the first non-Christian to hold the job.
Saperstein, who led the Reform Jewish movement's Washington office for 40 years, focusing on social justice and religious freedom issues, was nominated by President Barack Obama in July and confirmed by a 62-35 vote on Friday.
Saperstein takes a liberal bent on domestic issues, and all but one of the votes against him came from a Republican.

The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has fined the owners of a now-closed bed and breakfast $4,500 for refusing to grant a gay couple a reservation in 2009 after learning of their sexual orientation, the Vancouver Sun reports.
Les and Susan Molnar, the former owners of the Riverbend B&B, cited religious reasons for why they wouldn't agree to rent a room to Shaun Eadie and Brian Thomas, who live in Vancouver.
The Molnars tried to argue that the B&B was part of their home, saying they pray there and feel responsible for the behavior of their guests.
But Enid Marion, a member of the tribunal, saw things differently. According to the Boundary Sentinel, the tribunal's decision said the following:
The Riverbend was not operated by a Church or religious organization. While the business was operated by individuals with sincere religious beliefs respecting same-sex couples, and out of a portion of their personal residence, it was still a commercial activity. It was the Molnars' personal and voluntary choice to start up a business in their personal residence. In this respect, the Molnars were not compelled by the state to act in a manner inconsistent with their personal religious views.
The gay couple told CBC news that they were happy with the ruling.
"Sometimes you have to stick your neck out, and we stuck our necks out and we feel good and vindicated that we did for the benefit of people coming behind us," Thomas told the news outlet.
This isn't the first time a B&B owner's religious beliefs spilled over into their business practices and was deemed discriminatory. In February, a Christian couple running a bed and breakfast in Cornwall was ordered them to pay a gay couple £3,600, or about $5,600, for refusing them service, the Guardian reported. That couple argued that they wouldn't permit any unmarried couple to stay at their property -- regardless of sexual orientation -- because they believe pre-marital sex to be a sin.
But the author of the judgement for the Equality and Human Right's Commission, which issued the ruling, found that the B&B owners weren't being prohibited from exercising their religious beliefs.
"They are merely prohibited from so doing in the commercial context they have chosen," she wrote.
The EHRC's legal director further explained, saying, "When offering a service, people cannot use their beliefs – religious or otherwise – to discriminate against others."

I noticed that I started my life journal last year around this time with a list of what I wanted for my 46th birthday. Well, 47 is less than a week away and a list is evolving. Some of it is just "stuff," some of it is something else that other kinds of stuff is made of.... I am the Queen of Etcetera I have decided.... ..... ...... ....... ahhhhh.....................
MP3 Player (that was a trick question on my fb quiz "How Well Do You Know Denise Cottingham?" But seriously, I don't have one. Beach towels for water exercise class and saunas. Aqua gloves. Geraniums, nasturtiums, ground cover. A new wardrobe (ha!). A new attitude. Yes. A Polaroid camera (what do they make these days besides that thing that makes little stickers?). More courage. Less sleeping.
A lobster dinner. A red Adirondack chair from Home Depot. A new house. A new/used car. Seriously. A massage. SERIOUSLY! This book: "Collage, Assemblage, and Altered Art -- Creating Unique Images" by Diane Maurer. Awesome book, crappy title. Sarong, haircut. A play list from a night when Heidi Mo DJ's. Paint brushes. 1000 Hands of Buddha Qigong instruction booklet, can't find mine. A love shove. Wisdom.
So, that's all.
"My inferiority complex isn't as good as yours" -- Anonymous
47: number of years I've been Denise Aileen Cottingham, come June 2nd
Just over 1: number of years I've been keeping this journal, and number of years we've had the laptop
10: number of years I've had my Honda Pearl and my Cat Rudy
200,000: number of miles on Honda, to rollover any day now
0: number of times I've been married, number of children I have, number of college degrees
26 or 27: age at which I thought I would marry, as a young girl
7: my favorite number
13: G's favorite number
29: years since Mt. St. Helens erupted, and I graduated from high school
Over 4: number of months my parents will not be at home this year
1: number of teeth I am missing in more than one way :(
18: number of months before I started walking
18: number of years before I started dancing
.5: add this to my GPA and I would've been Valedictorian (okay, so I'm a little bitter :) Accounting.
2: number of extra invisible toes I have
1.0 number on my reading glasses (shown in current profile picture)
Read then, if you will,
and in the springtime of your reading
the pages will shine with pale fire,
like new alder leaves in sun.
In their secret way they grow
and gather as you turn them,
they remain with you,
they rise up close around
like blackberry thickets in midsummer,
a wilderness of leaves
you're lost in. Turn, turn further.
Something shy and never seen
awaits you, and as you search
you may discover what you did not think
to ask for, a last apple
in autumn boughs where you saw
a bird fly in. Listen.
In the Douglas firs the wind
is saying something, voice
of distant places, other years
returning. Does it speak your name?
You need nothing more for winter now,
the faithful rain on your roof,
a warm fire within. Go
the way you were born to go,
turning and turning the pages of time.

"Prose generally lacks the formal structure of meter or rhyme which is typical of poetry; instead it is composed of full sentences, usually divided into paragraphs, and then smaller segments known as meta-paragraphs."
I know Wikipedia is controversial but I'm a lazy Googler. Prose generally probably lacks the potential half sentence/thoughts of a facebook status or twitter tweet as well. That is a sentence I would not have written a mere 6-ish months ago.
No offense to poetry, of course!
I had a canoe that took me into the forest I read about. It was fleet and I asked no questions. I saw the careless embroidery of the sky above me. I was small. I was embracing. And I was dear all my life. My instrument is silent. I never learned to play. But it sits poised in my arms like an amber deer that I'll give my life for. What does it sound like? Why haven't I tried?
She crept into my arms like a red flower a stranger gives me. She is tame and soft. In a low voice, I tell her stories of when I was a girl. I bring her fruit from the brook of my own glad tidings. I overflow and I almost forget her. My hair is wet and I feel I can be alone. I know other songs. But what about my deer? She's sleeping. I fit an arrow through my bow. I kill so she eats. She says if only I'd been a better mother.

(question:) "I don't understand why people become senile."
(answer:) "Senility is the answer to the soul's prayer. More often than not, its advent sets the heart free. When the mind has been rigid and controlling, there is a time in some souls' choosing in which they say "I want to use the rest of this particular physical existence to recognize my entirety without the interference of my intellect." And so the mind is quieted, slowly by some, rapidly by others. The body can slouch, the mouth hang open, the eyes wander, and thoughts come and go without conscious recognition.
"Released, at last, from the confines of the tightly controlling intellect, the heart can soar."
I liked the poem Elizabeth Alexander read at the Inauguration. She had a real wavering and unwavering braveness about her. Here is her poem:
Inaugural Poem
The following is a transcript of the inaugural poem recited by Elizabeth Alexander, as provided by CQ transcriptions.
Praise song for the day.
Each day we go about our business, walking past each other, catching each others' eyes or not, about to speak or speaking. All about us is noise. All about us is noise and bramble, thorn and din, each one of our ancestors on our tongues. Someone is stitching up a hem, darning a hole in a uniform, patching a tire, repairing the things in need of repair.
Someone is trying to make music somewhere with a pair of wooden spoons on an oil drum with cello, boom box, harmonica, voice.
A woman and her son wait for the bus.
A farmer considers the changing sky; A teacher says, "Take out your pencils. Begin."
We encounter each other in words, words spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed; words to consider, reconsider.
We cross dirt roads and highways that mark the will of someone and then others who said, "I need to see what's on the other side; I know there's something better down the road."
We need to find a place where we are safe; We walk into that which we cannot yet see.
Say it plain, that many have died for this day. Sing the names of the dead who brought us here, who laid the train tracks, raised the bridges, picked the cotton and the lettuce, built brick by brick the glittering edifices they would then keep clean and work inside of.
Praise song for struggle; praise song for the day. Praise song for every hand-lettered sign; The figuring it out at kitchen tables.
Some live by "Love thy neighbor as thy self."
Others by first do no harm, or take no more than you need.
What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance.
In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun.
On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp -- praise song for walking forward in that light.

NASHVILLE – Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum won Tennessee's Republican primary Tuesday, turning back a late surge by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, from neighboring Georgia, was third followed by Rep. Ron Paul of Texas in fourth.
Tennessee had 55 delegates up for grabs, the third-most among the 10 Super Tuesday states.
INTERACTIVE: Presidential Poll Tracker

BLOG: Highlights from Super Tuesday
Preliminary results from an exit poll conducted by Edison Research for the Associated Press show nearly half of those voting in Tennessee's GOP primary considered the economy their top concern.
Another third cited the deficit, while more than nine in 10 said gas prices were a factor in how they voted.
Although early-voting numbers were down sharply from the last presidential primary in 2008, the major GOP candidates had ramped up their attention to Tennessee in the past week with campaign stops and a barrage of television ads to try to sway undecided voters.
Santorum led in polls leading up to Tuesday, although the race narrowed as the election neared.
Romney, however, had drawn the endorsement of several top Republicans in the state, including Gov. Bill Haslam and U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander.
In recent days, Santorum and Gingrich have made appearances in the state. Romney appeared in Knoxville on Sunday.
Social and religious issues drove some voters to Santorum.
Mary Cecil, who is retired and lives in Sevierville, said the economy is a major issue, but that religion was the deciding factor that led her to vote for Santorum.
"I would like to have a true Christian in the White House," she said.
Kristy Tarrant, a 55-year-old executive assistant in Memphis, said Santorum's family values and how he dealt with the death of his newborn son led her to choose him in the primary.
Gail Piernoy, a 72-year-old retired office manager in Nashville, said she voted for Romney because of his experience in the private sector and because he could mount a challenge to President Obama.
"I think Romney has the business experience and that's what we need with this economy," she said.
David Morgan, a 55-year-old Nashville resident who works in sales, said the economy, not social issues, is what he considers the top issue in this election year. He voted for Romney because he thinks he has the best chance at beating Obama.
"The whole economy is down," he said. "Myself, I don't make as much as I used to."
Morgan has a son-in-law who serves in the military and said he felt it was time to bring the troops home and reduce the amount of foreign aid to other countries.
Allen Haley, an unemployed resident of Sevierville, said he voted for Romney and that the candidate's Mormon religion wasn't a factor.

James Bombard
Chairwoman Herseth Sandlin, Ranking Member Boozman and members of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, I am pleased to appear before you today on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Secretary's Veterans Advisory Committee on Education (VACOE) to provide the Committee's views on the current state of the MGIB-AD and MGIB-SR; recommendations to update the MGIB; and possible legislative action that should be considered by the Subcommittee
State of MGIB-AD-SR
Seamless Transition Program Flexibility and Claims Processing
It is the Advisory Committee's (VACOE) view that program flexibility and efficient claims processing are the keys to a veteran's seamless transition of providing earned education benefits to eligible participants. It should also be noted that in the past the Committee made a number of recommendations designed to increase program flexibility, i.e. accelerated payment without restriction, expansion of test reimbursement, removing or extending the delimiting date, equalizing the benefit for OJT/Apprentice programs in relation to IHL and NCD education/training programs, and removing restrictions on wage progression for municipal employees.
The reason seamless transition is difficult to accomplish is that when the Montgomery GI Bill was created by legislation in 1984, it was both similar and different from previous GI Bills. It was similar in that it provided a benefit for veterans who chose to enroll in an educational program at an approved education or training institution. Like the previous programs the maximum benefit was payable to veterans training full-time, with prorated amounts available for veterans training three-quarters time, half time, or less than half time. The level of benefits also depended on whether a veteran was attending a traditional degree-granting institution or was enrolled in on-the-job training, apprenticeship, or cooperative training programs. It was different because previous Education Programs (EP), special rules provided higher benefit levels for persons having eligibility for the prior Vietnam-era EP, with lower benefits authorized for persons enlisting for a period of less than three years. Another unique feature of the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) was that it authorized benefits for those in the Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606 program), although the maximum monthly benefit was much lower than the Active Duty rate. Additionally, the MGIB authorized "kickers", or additional monthly benefits for certain veterans in certain military occupations and "buy-ups" for veterans seeking higher monthly benefits.
In addition to the aforementioned features which add substantial complexity to eligibility and payment amount determinations, other provisions made the MGIB more complicated than previous EPs. The inadequacies of EPs which preceded the MGIB led to legislation authorizing persons eligible for earlier EPs to choose to become eligible for the MGIB. Special "top-off" tuition assistance benefits and "accelerated" or licensing and certification benefits were also authorized. Most recently, a new "Chapter 1607" EP was created for "Reserve Component Members Supporting Contingency Operations and Certain Other Operations". The eligibility rules and benefit rates for these servicemembers are different than those for persons who enlist for two or three years in the Active-Duty program or who enlist in the regular Selected Reserve.
To further compound the issue, the adoption of the Total Force structure, made the reserve/guard an integral part of the active duty force. Hence, some veterans became eligible for multiple programs i.e Chapter 1606, 1607 and 30.
Congress, although well meaning, tends to create new initiatives designed to shore up existing deficiencies in the current MGIB; without dealing with the administrative problems inherent in trying to integrate new program components in the established MGIB. As a result of the proliferation of eligibility categories and benefit levels fewer educational claims are straightforward. The complexities of a number of new GI Bill opportunities have resulted in a cumbersome data management system that does not timely respond to the needs of veterans and other GI Bill eligible recipients.
The existing array of supplemental GI Bill programs, coupled with multiple program eligibility, suggest a strong need for a comprehensive GI Bill program as outlined in the VACOE letter to the Secretary on July 8, 2005 entitled Total Force GI Bill.
It is the Committee's belief that the DVA Education Service, in conjunction with Congress, can create an effective, efficient claims processing system by adopting the following:
- Restructure the GI Bill; i.e., Total Force, thus streamline claims processing.
- Create a synergistic relationship with Congress in order to ensure feasibility and support for any additional programs associated with the GI Bill
- Improve information exchange between DoD and DVA. The need for constant communication between DoD and DVA would be minimal with restructure of GI Bill.
- Invest in state-of-the-art IT systems
- Hire additional staff to do claims processing or at a minimum maintain budget direct FTEs
Total Force
The Advisory Committee, after nearly two years of studying the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB), recommended a fundamental change to the structure of the MGIB; and also put forth the framework for a new GI Bill that reflects the realities of the Total Force policy.
It is the Committee's belief that this restructuring is necessary to incorporate program flexibility, ease of administration and equity of service rendered.
Both the Active Duty and Selected Reserve (SelRes) programs share the same name and are part of the same legislation, but they have different purposes. The Active Duty (AD) program revolves around recruitment and transition/readjustment to civilian status while the SelRes program is designed to promote recruitment and retention, with no regard for readjustment or transition.
The current GI Bill programs did not consider DoD's use of the SelRes for all operational missions. Under this policy the SelRes and some members of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) are considered integral members of the Total Force. Reserve members who are faced with extended activations require similar transition and readjustment benefits as those available to separating AD service men and women. Although the new reserve GI Bill educational benefits program authorized under Chapter 1607 of Title 10, U.S. Code attempts to address this issue, it remains primarily a retention tool, requiring continued reserve service.
For these reasons we recommend replacing the separate GI Bill programs for veterans and reservists with one program that consolidates all GI Bill programs under one umbrella (Title 38, Code). This would include enrolling all currently eligible personnel in Chapters 30, 1606 and 1607 in the new Total Force GI Bill. This approach will add value to the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) as a recruitment and retention tool for the Armed Forces, including National Guard and Reserve; establish equity of benefits for returning Guard and Reserve members; support Congress' intent for the MGIB (see Attachment C); and potentially save taxpayer money through improved administration.
In the twenty years since the Montgomery GI Bill went into effect on June 30, 1985 the nation's security environment has changed radically from a fixed cold war to a dynamic "Global War on Terror." In 1991 the Active Duty Force (AF) of the Military stood at 2.1 million; today it stands at 1.4 million.
Since 9/11 more than 480,000 members of the 860,000 Selected Reserve (SelRes) have been activated. Today approximately 40% of troops in are Guardsmen or Reservists.
Despite this, the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and the Montgomery GI Bill—Selected Reserve (MGIB—SR) still reflect the situation that existed in 1984. Then the members of the Selected Reserve rarely served on active duty. The idea that any projection of power would require the activation of at least some reservists was never considered in creating these programs.
Because most reservists have both careers and families which are embedded in towns and cities across the country, these activated citizen-soldiers -- mayors, police chiefs, firefighters, and small business owners -- face additional burdens as financial and career obligations mount, while their families, employers, and communities frequently face significant sacrifices and hardships as well.
This has led to inequitable situations. First, Selected Reserve members and members of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) may be called to active duty for considerable periods, but less than two years. When they return to civilian life, what is available to help them readjust? They have nothing at all if their active duty is at the end of their six-year commitment to the Selected Reserves.
Proposed Total Force GI Bill
In the face of these dramatic changes in the nature of Reserve Force (RF) usage, and recognizing that the Active and Reserve Forces have become inextricably integrated as a Total Force, the Committee is proposing an updated GI Bill which accepts the new security realities of the open-ended Global War on Terror, the recruiting and retention issues which arise from it, and the expanded role that the RF plays in this modern era. The current members of the RF are being asked to perform in a manner literally unprecedented since WWII.
As the distinctions between the active and reserve force continue to diminish the difference in treatment between the active and reserve forces in the GI Bill should decline accordingly. Benefits need to remain commensurate with sacrifice/service.
From 1985 through 1990, a period of relative quiescence for the RF, Reservists, under Chapter 1606 of Title 10 USC, were receiving 47% of the educational benefit of active force Montgomery GI Bill participants. That 47% rate remained in effect until roughly the turn of this century when the MGIB was significantly enhanced for the Active Force.
Since 1990 the percentage of educational benefit for reservists has declined from 47% to 29 % of the active force educational benefit, and this decline took place during a period when the involuntary mobilization of reservists had begun to accelerate significantly.
VACOE has focused on consolidating veterans' education benefit programs into a single Total Force structure placing them in the department where veterans advocacy is the first priority and ensuring that a fair framework for providing benefits commensurate with the nature of military service is established and maintained.
The architecture of any future GI Bill is very important. Shifting funding out of Title 10 and placing responsibility for all GI Bill administration in the proper cabinet department (DVA) is the key of any future efforts to improve the administration and the fundamental fairness of the GI Bill.
This concept would provide MGIB reimbursement rate levels based on an individual's service in the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserve: a MGIB active duty three-year rate, a pro rata SelRes rate, and a SelRes activated rate which is equivalent to the active duty rate on a month-to-month basis after 90 days service.
See Attachment A for additional detail concerning the proposed Bill.
Chapters 35 and 31 remain as before.
Benefits of New GI Bill
We anticipate a number of positive effects from this new GI Bill:
* The additional educational benefit for active duty service provides a necessary one-to-one equity for arduous time served by individuals in uniform whether AF or RF.
* Under the current Chapter 1606, reservists have 14 years from the beginning date of eligibility to use their benefits in service. As a result many reservists reach the delimiting date while they are still serving in the Selected Reserve. A provision in the proposal would extend the time frame during which reservists could utilize the education benefit.
* A provision allowing reservists ten (10) years from the last active/activated duty to utilize their educational benefit adds a transition and readjustment element to the traditional recruiting and retention elements of the Reserve Component of the GI Bill. This is precisely what is now needed since the extended arduous duty of the reservist requires transition and readjustment very similar to active forces.
* Placing the Total Force GI Bill within Title 38 USC will simplify the administration of GI educational benefit for all members of the ArmedServices both AF and RF, and ensure all future benefits are upgraded equitably. (See Attachment B)
* The GI Bill also has traditionally been viewed as a grateful nation's way of showing its appreciation for the sacrifices of service, separation, and combat. The new GI Bill reflects the new realities which have transformed this nation's security environment since the second week of September '01.
No amount of skill compensates for a lack of manpower. In order to continue to deter actual and potential adversaries now and in the future, we must continue to attract the finest among the willing and capable. It is imperative that the forces continue to attract and retain high quality men and women to assure the nation's collective security.
The famed risk-reward ratio follows the same natural calculus as the supply and demand curve. No one in this country can honestly say that the risks for our reservists have not increased of late. This proposed Total Force GI Bill seeks to address at least part of the reward scheme for those reservists who are being asked to risk the most.
During a period when a significant portion of those who sign up for duty, whether in the active force or in the reserve force, say that they do so, specifically, for the educational benefits, it is important to boost recruitment as much as possible by means of this proven approach.
By allowing Reserve Force (RF) retirees to utilize the benefit for ten (10) years following retirement, we are both boosting retention as well as rewarding the rigors of activation and mobilization.
Because the reserve component has come to more closely resemble the active component, it is time that the educational benefits for the reserve component come to more closely resemble those of the active component. That, in short, is what our proposal, the Total Force GI Bill, seeks to do.
If implemented, we envision wins for the individual Selected Reservist, a win for the Armed Services, and a win for our national security.

This Total Force proposal provides a unique opportunity to create a comprehensive GI Bill that is both fair and simple. Its eloquence is its equity and simplicity.
The question always raised by Congress when considering the GI Bill is can we afford it. Well, I don't think we can afford not to.
Attachment A
A Total Force GI Bill
This Bill would provide MGIB reimbursement rate levels based on an individual's service in the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserve.
1. The first tier -- similar to the current
Montgomery GI Bill -- Active Duty (MGIB-AD) 3-year rate -- would be provided to all who enlist for active duty. Service entrants would receive 36 months of benefits at the AD Rate.
2. The second tier or level would be for all who enlist or re-enlist in the SelRes for 6 years, and this would entitle them to 36 months of benefits at a pro-rata amount of the active duty rate, (the suggested rate is 35% of the MGIB-AD rate).
3. The third tier would be for members of the SelRes/IRR who are activated for at least 90 days. They would receive one month of benefit for each month of activation, up to a total of 36 months, at the active duty rate. The intent is to provide the same level of benefit as the active duty rate for the same level of service.
3a. These months of full benefits would replace, month-for-month, any SelRes entitlements at the second tier.
3b. The maximum benefit a member of the SelRes could receive under this program would be the equivalent of 36 months at the active duty rate.
An individual would have up to 10 years to use the active duty or activated-service benefit from their last date of active/activated duty or reserve service, whichever is later. A Selected Reservist could use remaining second tier MGIB benefits as long as he/she were satisfactorily participating in the SelRes, and for up to 10 years following separation from the reserves, in the case of separation for disability or qualification for a reserve retirement at age 60.
Additional Provisions:
All provisions (e.g. additional contributions), and programs (e.g. accelerated payment, approved test reimbursement, etc.) eligible for payment under the current MGIB-AD would be available under all three levels.
DoD Incentives:
Under this plan DoD would continue to be able to provide Recruitment and Retention incentives such as loan repayment, kickers-college fund, and enlistment bonuses.
Attachment B
Total Force GI Bill Program
The following improvements would accrue to GI Bill program administration by adopting the new Total Force GI Bill:
- The MGIB and the MGIB-SR do not pay for the same training although there is no logical reason why they shouldn't. This is the result of having funding of MGIB—SR the responsibility of DoD, while the funding of basic MGIB is VA's responsibility. Thus, bills affecting MGIB—SR are referred to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees (SASC and HASC) while bills affecting MGIB are referred to the House and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees (HVAC and SVAC).
- These problems could be addressed by replacing the separate GI Bill programs (Chapters 30, 1606 and 1607) with one consolidated program under Title 38, US Code. This new bill would have a continuum of benefits that matched the continuum of possible service.
- It would provide monthly benefits for activated Selected Reservists and reservists from the Individual Ready Reserve with no prior service qualifying for MGIB that is proportionate to their actual active duty.
- It would put funding for the benefits for those in the Selected Reserve with VA.
- It would make the types of training uniform for all in the Armed Forces who would be eligible for this GI Bill.
- One set of rules covering one GI Bill would allow for better understanding of the program by recruiters, beneficiaries, stakeholders and program managers.
- Training new claims examiners and processing claims would be easier and more efficient as there would be one set of rules.
- Systems costs would be lower for the new program as the other systems would no longer be required.
- Since there would be one program and one set of rules, there would not be inconsistent and inequitable structuring of benefit levels.
- VA would be responsible for all basic benefit payments, and would be reimbursed by the agency concerned for any additional payments made through "kickers". Currently, the selected reserve basic payment is reimbursed to VA and managed either by DoD or DHS. The benefit is that no "basic" award would have to be managed outside of and reimbursed to VA, but the agency concerned would maintain the flexibility to channel critical specialties provided under the current programs.
Attachment 3
Sec. 3001. Purposes
The purposes of this chapter are—
(1) to provide a new educational assistance program to assist in the readjustment of members of the Armed Forces to civilian life after their separation from military service;
(2) to extend the benefits of a higher education to qualifying men and women who might not otherwise be able to afford such an education;
(3) to provide for vocational readjustment and to restore lost educational opportunities to those service men and women who
served on active duty after June 30, 1985;
(4) to promote and assist the All-Volunteer Force program and the Total Force Concept of the Armed Forces by establishing a new program of educational assistance based upon service on active duty or a combination of service on active duty and in the Selected Reserve (including the National Guard) to aid in the recruitment and retention of highly qualified personnel for both the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces;
(5) to give special emphasis to providing educational assistance benefits to aid in the retention of personnel in the Armed Forces; and
(6) to enhance our Nation's competitiveness through the development of a more highly educated and productive work force.

Check out Tuesday's Salt City Hoops Podcast from the 1320 studios. The new hosts of 1320's afternoon show, Tony Parks and Ben Bagley joined me and Chris Kamrani, the sports editor of Park City's Park Record.
Chris and Ben talk Jazz from 0:00 – 14:00.
Tony talks about covering the visitors' locker room for Jazz games from 14:00 – 31:00. For some reason I talk about the Team USA players celebrating their Olympic win in 2008 with "the trophy." Last time I checked, Olympic champions get medals, not trophies.
Skip to about the 31:00 minute mark and listen to the end for spectacular appearances by Fake Kevin O'Connor, Fake Hot Rod Hundley, and especially Fake Marv Albert.
Thanks to everybody for jumping on, as well as to 1320's Austin Horton for production.
To better illustrate what Chris is talking about, @chaseames pointed out this clip of Hayward's legendary game against the Lakers last season:
Chase agrees with Chris that Hayward should be the primary ball handler. As John Hollinger has pointed out, Hayward sometimes get caught running the "pick and nothing." With the ball in his control he seems to thrive and have much more confidence.
