|You need an operation.
|~ Dr. Bob
Dr. Bob is the Bigger Bad of the Klay World series. He is a Klayman doctor who built Klay World.
He is incredibly arrogant and almost never admits his own shortcomings. He can be insulting and even generally cruel to his patients and has never been seen having an emotional reaction when one of them dies. He puts very little effort into his work as a doctor, despite often saying that he did all he could. Despite this, he still often becomes insulted and visibly lashes out when his skills as a doctor are insulted. It was revealed in Klay World: All Gone that he actually can be a good doctor, and has been in the past, but rather prefers to carelessly kill his patients because he knows he can just rebuild them later.
He is very selfish and has been seen leaving surgeries to get food, stealing from patients, and demanding money from people even though his patient died.
Dr. Bob
Dr. Bob made his first appearence in the 2003 episode simply titled Dr. Bob. In the video, he was established as a horrible doctor by killing several patients, including one that was in for a simple check-up. By the end of the video, he stated that he was proud of his work.
Knox's Klay World
Dr. Bob makes a second appearence in the six part Klay World special in 2003. The special featured many of the series early characters such as The Seed, The Newspaper Monster, Henry, and Hulky. In it, all of the Klaymen in Klay World are pulled together to fight off an alien invader. He hurts more than he helps throughout the special by killing several of his teammates in their many fights.
In the finale, he was crushed by the alien but miraculously survived.
Klay World: Dr. Bob Saves the Day
In his second first Dr. Bob attempted to save a Klayman who was choking on a bologna. He decides that the best way to help him is to perform surgery. He later fails and pronounces him dead. He claims to have saved the day and shoots the Klayman who questioned it, killing him.
Klay World: Stomache Ache
A green Klayman suffers from a headache and a stomach ache due to another Klayman throwing spikes at him. Dr. Bob attempts to remove the spikes but pulls to the side which tears the Klayman in half.
Klay World: Off the Table
Dr. Bob is one of the main characters in "Klay World: Off the table." He, Chip, Rick, Pick, Mr. Black and Smiling Gary all investigate the aliens who contacted Smiling Gary one day. When Chip, Mr. Black, Smiling Gary and Pick leave the table on a truck to find the aliens, Dr. Bob and Rick stay at the table, he is often seen hanging around with Rick or giving Marv orders to build some device to contact Chip and the other Klaymen on the adventure off of the table. He is also interviewed by another Klayman. When a Klayman is getting a heart attack, Dr. Bob doesn't do anything about it. When the interviewer tells him to save the dying Klayman, Dr. Bob walks to the Klayman in harm and crushes his head, killing him. The interviewer and some other Klaymen around him insult him and call him a bad Doctor. Dr. Bob is upset with this, especually when even Vince goes against him.
Eventually, when the Aliens arrived at the table and kill most the Klay people, Dr. Bob and a few others were the only survivors. They decided to fight back to reclaim the table.
Dr. Bob was later slashed by King Womp and lied helpless after that. Chip arrived when there is only Dr. Bob and two other Klaymen alive. Chip told them that he had to get his uncle's time machine so he could stop everything from happening. Rick returned, however he was rebuilt and became hostile towards Chip and the others. Dr. Bob didn't do anything, and simply watched the others fight.
Rick seemed to have the upper hand after he killed Chester and Dr. Brown and the time machine was left on the top of a TV set. However, Chip then discovered his ability to extend his arms and knocked Rick off the table.
King Womp was the last remaining alien and he grudgingly returns to finish the job himself. Dr. Bob grabbed the axe out of the Axe Klayman's face (killing him) and threw the axe at King Womp while he was chasing Chip, killing him.
Rick returned and stole the time machine when Chip was almost at it. Rick explained that he intended to use the time machine to go back in time and make sure the aliens won. However, Pick (Who somehow survived the train crashing into the car with him inside) drove through the window and impaled Rick on the truck's flag. The time machine was unfortunately destroyed.
Dr. Bob, Chip and Pick (The only three Klaymen alive) wondered how they will save Klay World. Thanks to Pick, they came up with the idea to simply rebuild all the Klaymen like the Aliens did.
After the defeat of the Aliens and the rebuilding of Klay World, Dr. Bob gave one final motivational speech in front of all of Klay World.
Klay World: Dr. Bob Saves the Day 2
Dr. Bob attempted to split a pair of conjoined twins with a chainsaw. Unfortunately he cut horizontally, killing them instantly. Then a bystander critisized his trestment, so he threw the chainsaw into the man's chest, also killing him.
Klay World: Dr. Bob Saves the Day 3
Henry's friends celebrated the fact that Henry had given up his shotgun. Unfortunately, one of his friends decided to give him a gift, a fully automatic machine gun. An ensuing struggle resulted in two of his friends dying and Henry getting the top of his head shot off.
Henry's friend sees Dr. Bob kill two patients and asks him to help save Henry's life. However, Dr. Bob was growing wearing of doctoring and decided to retire. He dropped his lab coat to the ground and walked off into the distance.
Klay World: All Gone
Dr. Bob is the main antagonist for the Klay World finale. The special begins at a party that he threw for everyone in Klay World. Having given up doctoring, he wore a regular brown jacket.
He revealed to Chip that he is planning to leave Klay World and never return. He also reveals that he was the first Klayman on the table and that he himself built every other Klayman in Klay World. He explained that he had been repairing Klaymen after they died and that he had been instigating a majority of the violent situations that had been happening in the past simply for his own amusement. However, he had become bored and decided to have a 'big finale' where every Klayman would kill each other and he wouldn't repair them afterward.
Chip then pointed out that Klay World seemed peaceful, but Dr. Bob explained that he had hidden weapons in their food. A fight breaks out shortly after the Klaymen find guns and swords in the party food but Chip escapes along with Rick, Pick, and Marv.
Chip returned later and attempted to explain everything to the remaining Klaymen. Dr. Bob attempted to convince everyone that nothing was wrong and tried to get Pick back on his side. When Pick refused to follow him, he shot Pick in the back.
After Henry destroyed the table with a rocket launcher, he had a 'final battle' with Chip. The fight ended and he was killed when Chip dropped the table on top of both of them, though Chip survived. Bob tries to get out, ripping himself in two in the process. Chip tells Bob that the only reason that Klay World had such stupid inhabitants is because Bob made them that way, and that Chip was going to rebuild everyone. Chip explains that everything will be safer, and that Klay World will have a new name: Clay World, spelled with a "C". Bob realizes his mistakes and dies peacefully, the final shot of the series being from Bob's perspective, of him seeing the carnage he caused.

Many point to unromantic 20-somethings and women's entry into the workforce, but an overlooked factor is the trouble young men have in finding steady, well-paid jobs.
TOKYO—Japan's population is shrinking. For the first time since the government started keeping track more than a century ago, there were fewer than 1 million births last year, as the country's population fell by more than 300,000 people. The blame has long been put on Japan's young people, who are accused of not having enough sex, and on women, who, the narrative goes, put their careers before thoughts of getting married and having a family.
But there's another, simpler explanation for the country's low birth rate, one that has implications for the U.S.: Japan's birth rate may be falling because there are fewer good opportunities for young people, and especially men, in the country's economy. In a country where men are still widely expected to be breadwinners and support families, a lack of good jobs may be creating a class of men who don't marry and have children because they—and their potential partners—know they can't afford to.
The president also angrily lashed out at the media and his critics.
President Trump lashed out at the media in a Saturday morning tweetstorm, insisting his authority to issue pardons is "complete" and expressing frustration over stories that revealed Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have lied about his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.
"A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post, this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions. These illegal leaks, like Comey's, must stop!" the president tweeted, following up by stating that "While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS."
The tacit acknowledgement the president has been thinking about his pardon power in relation to the Russia investigation, and the qualification that no crimes but leaks had been revealed "so far" raised eyebrows among media observers.
On Flower Boy the rapper suggests he's not straight—and struggles with a stigma he helped propagate.
Tyler, the Creator became famous, in part, for being hateful. When his rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All ("Odd Future" is fine) caught buzz around 2010, it was because of their delirious energy and Eminem-like love of mayhem. But it was their threats against women and "faggots," delivered in song and on social media, that elevated them from subculture phenomenon to become essay prompt and political flashpoint. The likes of GLAAD and the band Tegan and Sara declared Tyler poisonous and asked the music industry to stop supporting him. Theresa May, back when she was home secretary of the U.K., took the extraordinary step of banning him from her country because his lyrics "encourage violence and intolerance of homosexuality."
Biology textbooks tell us that lichens are alliances between two organisms—a fungus and an alga. They are wrong.
In 1995, if you had told Toby Spribille that he'd eventually overthrow a scientific idea that's been the stuff of textbooks for 150 years, he would have laughed at you. Back then, his life seemed constrained to a very different path. He was raised in a Montana trailer park, and home-schooled by what he now describes as a "fundamentalist cult." At a young age, he fell in love with science, but had no way of feeding that love. He longed to break away from his roots and get a proper education.
At 19, he got a job at a local forestry service. Within a few years, he had earned enough to leave home. His meager savings and non-existent grades meant that no American university would take him, so Spribille looked to Europe.
The Senate parliamentarian's rejection of important provisions of the GOP's Obamacare repeal bill puts its status in further jeopardy.
On Friday, Senate Democrats released a list of provisions in the Republican health-care bill that the Senate parliamentarian holds can pass via a simple, filibuster-proof majority vote. Among those provisions that didn't meet her scrutiny are the bill's plans to defund Planned Parenthood, restrict tax-credit funding for insurance plans that provide abortions, and a six-month "lockout" period from purchasing insurance for people who don't maintain continuous coverage.
If this preliminary guidance holds, the Better Care Reconciliation Act—which is already in dire straits—seems likely to fail.
The final assessment of the parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, is a critical step in the GOP's strategy for passing their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. Republicans have opted to pass their health-care legislation via the special reconciliation process, under which they can cut debate short in the Senate and thus eliminate indefinite filibusters, which Democrats would certainly use in order to block any attempt to repeal Obamacare. But bills have to follow a certain procedure—called the Byrd Rule—in order to pass by reconciliation.
Epic yet intimate, the director's new war film is boldly experimental and visually stunning.
What is Dunkirk?
The answer is more complicated than one might imagine. Director Christopher Nolan's latest is a war film, of course, yet one in which the enemy scarcely makes an appearance. It is a $150 million epic, yet also as lean and spare as a haiku, three brief, almost wordless strands of narrative woven together in a mere 106 minutes of running time. It is classic in its themes—honor, duty, the horror of war—yet simultaneously Nolan's most radical experiment since Memento. And for all these reasons, it is a masterpiece.
The historical moment captured by the film ascended long ago to the level of martial lore: In May 1940, in the early days of World War II, some 400,000 British and Allied troops were flanked and entrapped by Germany on the beaches of Dunkirk in northern France. Although the Channel was narrow enough that the men could almost see across to England, the waters were too shallow for warships to approach the beaches. So a flotilla of some 700 civilian craft—the "Little Ships of Dunkirk"—made their way from Ramsgate in England to assist in the rescue.
A report suggests the president is looking for ways to get out of the accord. It says a lot about how he views the world.
There was a lot of news lost at the end of last week when Sean Spicer, the hapless White House press secretary, finally resigned. In any other news cycle, the revelation that Jared Kushner forgot about $10 million in assets on his ethics forms (we've all been there) or a U.S. senate candidate siding with members of the alt-right over the Anti-Defamation League would have garnered more attention.
One story that should not slip underneath the radar, however, is a report that the Trump administration has apparently entrusted a small group at the White House to undermine the Iran nuclear accords over the objections of the Departments of State and Defense.
The news says a lot about two very narrow ways in which the administration sees not only Iran but the greater world. First, some members of the administration have failed to see the admittedly very real challenges presented by Iran outside the binary U.S.-Iranian contest for influence in the Middle East. Second, and most importantly, some members of the administration still do not understand that much of what the United States has been able to accomplish over the past two decades has been achieved through coalitions that could actively resist U.S. efforts to roll back those accomplishments.
The White House is threatening the special counsel and trying to dig up dirt on him, and the prospect that the president will try to fire him now seems very real.
The idea that Donald Trump might fire—or try to fire—Special Counsel Robert Mueller has bubbled up enough times to seem possible, but still improbable. For one thing (as Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, among others, can attest) press reports that this president might fire someone are frequently wrong. For another, it seemed that even Trump was prudent enough to avoid making the mistake that ended Richard Nixon's presidency.
Yet Trump has a knack for making the wildly implausible suddenly imminent. In the last 36 hours, the idea of Mueller being fired—and the political crisis it would likely set off—has become distinctly real. In an interview with The New York Times, Trump all but said he would fire Mueller if his investigation went into places Trump didn't like. Since then, several reports have suggested that Trump's defense strategy, as investigations probe deeper into his life and administration, is to attack Mueller and attempt to discredit him. Increasingly, the operative question seems not to be whether Trump will try to fire Mueller, but when he will do so and what will push him over the edge.
The transcript of the president's conversation with The New York Times throws his shortcomings into greater relief than ever before.
"Now Donald Trump has finally done it" is a sentence many people have said or written, but which has never yet proven true. As Trump gained momentum during the campaign season, errors that on their own would have stopped or badly damaged previous candidates bounced right off.
These ranged from mocking John McCain as a loser (because "I like people who weren't captured"), to being stumped by the term "nuclear triad" (the weapons of mass destruction that he as U.S. president now controls), to "when you're a star ... you can grab 'em by the pussy" (my onetime employer Jimmy Carter had to spend days in the 1976 campaign explaining away his admission to Playboy that he had sometimes felt "lust in the heart"), to being labelled by an in-party opponent a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," and "a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen" (the words of his now-supporter Ted Cruz). I kept my list of 152 such moments in the Time Capsule series as the campaign went on.
The choice of the former hedge funder and ardent Trump loyalist reflected longstanding dissatisfaction with Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
The Scaramucci revolution was televised.
After months of chatter that his job was on the chopping block, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer finally exited stage right on Friday after financier, donor and TV talking head Anthony Scaramucci was given the job of White House communications director, which had been vacant since the departure of Mike Dubke in May. Spicer resigned in opposition to the move.
The incident brought simmering conflicts inside the White House to a boil and pitted top advisers against each other in a last-minute effort on the part of some of them to stymie the appointment of Scaramucci, known as "The Mooch," who had refashioned himself as an ardent Trump supporter during the campaign and had been left in limbo during the early days of the administration after not getting a promised job.

In England in the 1830s, many poor children had no time for school or play. They worked in coal mines under inhuman conditions. But these children had a friend in high places: Anthony Ashley Cooper, seventh Earl of Shaftesbury and a member of parliament. He was also a devoted Christian who believed God had called him to help the downtrodden. Shaftesbury fought for years to end the abusive child labor practices, although at times he felt "every hand is against me." But he stood firm, and Parliament abolished child slavery in the mines.

After making a few wise cracks about Mitt Romney's African-American grandchild last week, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry gave a teary apology to him and his family. She chose to acknowledge the wrongdoing at the beginning of her weekly show, right before getting into the other news stories of the day.
"Whatever the intent was, the reality that the segment proceeded in a way that was offensive, and showing the photo in that context, that segment, was poor judgment," she noted. "So without reservation or qualification, I apologize to the Romney family."
In addition, she explained that she invited a "panel of comedians" to make snarky comments about certain photos taken last year.The annual segment is called "Our Look Back in Laughter." However, some of the jokes went too far, said Harris-Perry, namely when she allowed her guests to speak about Romney's children and his family, which is a definite no-no when cracking jokes about a public figure.
"[Children] should not be treated callously or thoughtlessly," she said. "So without reservation or qualification, I apologize to the Romney family."
And since Harris-Perry's show often discusses issues of race and diversity, she felt it extremely necessary to apologize for being somewhat hypocritical. She even thanked some of her critics for pointing out her mistake.
"On this program we are dedicated to advocating for a wide diversity of families," she said. "It is one of our core principles and I am reminded when we do so, it must be with the utmost respect. We're genuinely appreciative of everyone who offered serious criticisms of last Sunday's program, and I am reminded that our fiercest critics can sometimes be our best teachers."
Harris-Perry received tons of backlash after last week's now infamous segment, which comes on the heels of former MSNBC host Martin Bashir resigning after he said Sarah Palin should get the same "Derby's Dose" punishment that slaves used to receive.

As a novelist and memoirist, Isabel Allende writes of passionate lives, including her own. Born into a Chilean family with political ties, she went into exile in the United States in the 1970s—an event that, she believes, created her as a writer. Her voice blends sweeping narrative with touches of magical realism; her stories are romantic, in the very best sense of the word. Her novels include The House of the Spirits, Eva Luna and The Stories of Eva Luna, and her latest, Maya's Notebook and Ripper. And don't forget her adventure trilogy for young readers— City of the Beasts, Kingdom of the Golden Dragon and Forest of the Pygmies.
As a memoirist, she has written about her vision of her lost Chile, in My Invented Country, and movingly tells the story of her life to her own daughter, in Paula. Her book Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses memorably linked two sections of the bookstore that don't see much crossover: Erotica and Cookbooks. Just as vital is her community work: The Isabel Allende Foundation works with nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chile to empower and protect women and girls—understanding that empowering women is the only true route to social and economic justice.

05 December 2016
Ecotricity has been named as one of Britain's 'top 10 most disruptive companies' in today's 20th anniversary edition of the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100.
The inaugural Virgin Media Business Disruptor 10, researched by Fast Track, recognises ten companies for having a business model, product or service that is creating a new market, or transforming existing markets and rapidly taking market share from competitors.
Dale Vince, Ecotricity founder, said: "It's fun to be named on this new list of disruptive companies – we don't mind wearing that badge. It's actually quite exceptional, since we've been doing this for twenty years, to still be considered disruptive.
"It's our independence that's enabled this – having no shareholders means we're free to pursue our mission to build a Green Britain in any way we think is right.
"And in 2017, we'll be taking our own brand of disruption into a new industry, as yet totally untouched by all this eco stuff."
Other companies in the Disruptor Top 10 include:
Peter Kelly, managing director of Virgin Media Business, said: "At the core of the disruptive forces in all these businesses are digital innovation and technology platforms. The success of these disruptors shows how digital has progressed in just one generation and is the now the backbone of successful companies who are taking market share away from companies who are less digitally focussed."
An overall winner will receive a special award from Virgin Media Business at the Fast Track 100 national awards dinner in May next year, hosted by Sir Richard Branson.

Here are a few things I'd like to work on:
1) Work on increasing body strength.
2) Walk a lot more.
3) Reduce stress (I got a promotion at work, and it's been tough.)
4) Drop about 5 pounds. I've lost 36 pounds since going primal, and I would like to lose 10 more...but I only expect 5 pounds to be actually attainable in 30 days since I am so close to "ideal" weight.
5) Get outside and play more.

It's a tense time for "Prime Time."
The son of Pro Football Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders has allegedly gotten himself into serious trouble.
TMZ Sports is reporting that a Dallas high school employee is alleging that Sanders's teenage son brutally attacked him to the point that he needed spinal surgery. Good, lawd. That's outrageous.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, the alleged victim, John Darjean, claims that Sanders's son — who isn't named on the lawsuit — became belligerent when he tried to take the teenager's cell phone for breaking school rules back in a September 2015 incident.
That's when Darjean alleges that Sanders's son beat him to the point of hospitalization, in which he would later need a spinal surgery. The insurance company actually wants Deion and his ex-wife, Pilar, to be on the hook to reimburse the full $26,000 it had to cough up to Darjean because it claims that the parents let their son's reckless behavior get out of control.
Wow. We're speechless.
If Deion's kid did indeed dish out this kind of pain, his parents need to foot any bill that comes their way and their son should face possible jail time.
In fairness, though, let's see if there's more to this story than we know. Disturbing report to say the least for now.

I love all Fresh products. Sugar lemon is my favorite and perfect for the summer!
Sometimes the world is bad and you have to go hang out in Fresh for a while to make it better. Their Lady Tatami lipstick (discontinued?) just might be the red lipstick to end all red lipsticks.

Sachin Tendulkar fulfilled World Cup dream in 2011: Sachin Tendulkar turned 38 in the year 2011 and his international career of over 22 years, he continues to amaze with the enthusiasm of a new kid on the block. Tendulkar realised his most cherished and long awaited dream on April 2 – to be part of a World Cup winning team. It all ended on a high under the lights at the Wankhede Stadium when Tendulkar posed with the World Cup and was carried on their shoulders by the players on a victory lap.
The Indian icon waited for this glorious moment for years and he knew it's well worth the wait and when it came it was sweet. Nothing could have been more memorable for the cricket-obsessed nation that has seen Tendulkar literally grow into a cricket icon. He in turn gave his countless admirers immense happiness. He became synonymous with Indian cricket for over two decades.
Any cricketer of his age would have faded away, but Tendulkar is made of a different stuff. His passion for the game not only keeps him going, but also gives him the opportunity to reinvent himself. Each time he goes out on to the field he seems to be raising the bar for himself. Tendulkar's birthday was devoid of any major celebrations because of the death of Shri Sathya Sai Baba, of whom the batting genius was a devotee.
With 15,183 runs in 184 Tests and 18,111 runs in 453 ODIs under his belt, Tendulkar holds the record for the maximum number of appearances and being the highest run-getter in both forms. He also has to his credit the most number of hundreds – 51 in Tests and 48 in ODIs. Having carried the aspirations of millions of fans for over two decades, defying a number of injuries — including a career threatening tennis elbow — Tendulkar has emerged possibly one of the greatest icons the country has produced in all spheres of life.
But fans just don't seem to be content as the whole nation is waiting with bated breath for the 100th ton from the Indian icon. The 100th century from Tendulkar's blade has generated lot of debates and discussions. Since scoring his 99th international century in a World Cup match against South Africa in March, Tendulkar has come close to the coveted milestone not once but twice. He hit 91 in the fourth Test at The Oval during India's disastrous English tour in summer.
Tendulkar looked set for his milestone century on the fifth day but was given out by Australian umpire Rod Tucker LBW off Tim Bresnan, a decision which the batsman could have got the benefit of doubt.
Television replays showed the ball was just about clipping leg stump after the Bresnan delivery drifted in from outside off stump. Tendulkar played across the line, was struck bang in front but the drift was taking it onto the leg. Tucker raised the dreaded finger to the stunned silence of The Oval crowd and breaking the hearts of millions of fans.
Tendulkar might have thought he had survived but not the one to stand ground a single second more than necessary once the umpire had ruled him out, he trudged out of the ground to a standing ovation of the spectators in what would surely be his last Test match on English soil.
In the third Test against the West Indies on a placid pitch at his home Wankhede stadium, Tendulkar again stood on the brink of batting immortality only to retreat, plunging a milestone-obsessed country into depression.
Six runs shy of a record 100th international century, Tendulkar's usually impeccable shot selection deserted him as Windies pacer Ravi Rampaul banged in a short and wide delivery, hardly the deadliest ball Tendulkar has faced in his two-decade-plus career. Trying to punch it, Tendulkar opened the face of the blade and edged it into the welcoming hands of skipper Darren Sammy at second slip.
A short groan echoed around the stadium before being replaced by an eerie silence as Tendulkar hung his head, sighed and trudged back to the pavilion.
And now Tendulkar is set to play a gruelling series in Australia a country where he has hit 6 centuries in Tests and one in ODIs. And if he gets his 100th ton in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, then 2011 may well be one of the most memorable years in Tendulkar's glittering career.

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan blamed growing deficit on 'explosive government spending' not insufficient revenue
Posted by editor on Thursday, June 23, 2011 · 3 Comments
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) blamed the growing U.S. deficit exclusively on "exploding government spending" and attacked President Barack Obama for not submitting a "credible" budget plan to address the impending debt crisis.
"Yesterday, the CBO released its long-term budget outlook. This report throws harsh light on the challenges we face, and it sounds an alarm that too many in Washington have been ignoring for far too long.
"The federal government will race across a dangerous tipping point this year. According to CBO, total U.S. debt will reach 100% of GDP. Our debt will have eclipsed the size of our entire economy. Economists who have studied sovereign debt tell us that letting total debt rise above 90% of GDP creates a drag on economic growth and intensifies the risk of a debt-fueled economic crisis.
"The CBO is candid about the increasing likelihood of this crisis, and the report states "Such a crisis would confront policymakers with extremely difficult choices and probably have a very significant negative impact on the country."
"This quote demonstrates the CBO's flair for the understatement. A sudden fiscal crisis will be a complete catastrophe for this country. Families and businesses will bear the full brunt of the consequences.
"If the nation ultimately experienced a panicked run on its debt, policymakers will be forced to make immediate and painful fiscal adjustments, like the austerity programs that have stoked the riots in Greece. This would mean massive tax increases on working families and steep benefit cuts that hit our most vulnerable citizens the hardest.
"The CBO is a non-partisan agency so it does not take a position on what would be required to prevent this crisis, but we can draw our own conclusions from the evidence in this report. For one thing, this report makes clear that exploding government spending – not insufficient revenue – is driving us towards this crisis point. If we simply keep revenues at the historical average as a share of GDP, then government spending – driven by an aging population and rising health care costs – will cause federal debt to grow to unsustainable levels.
"Yet again, CBO makes clear that Medicare and government health care programs are driving the debt and driving these programs themselves into bankruptcy. Attacking solutions to save these programs threatens both the health security and economic security of the American people.
"If we try to chase ever higher spending with ever higher taxes, the CBO is very clear about the consequences. It estimates that GNP will be 2% lower in 2035 than would be otherwise. That number represents hundreds of billions in dollars of lost income for American families and businesses on top of much higher taxes they would have to pay.
"The House Republicans have passed a budget, the Path to Prosperity, which answers CBO's warnings and averts the crisis before us. The House-passed budget tackles the explosive growth in spending, it saves critical programs like Medicare, and puts our budget on a path to balance without resorting to job-destroying tax hikes. Meanwhile, the president has not put forward a credible plan, a credible budget. It's been 785 days. Let me say that again. It's been 785 days since the Senate passed any budget at all.
"We have a leadership deficit in Washington, and our window for solutions is closing quickly. Instead of tuning out CBO and others who are working to inform us of this danger, let's work together now before it's too late to put America's budget on a sustainable path, grow the economy, and leave the next generation with a better country than the one we inherited.

Author has written 1 story for Lion King.
Why, hello, everyone.
This is the one and only, Simba's Other Daughter.
I joined this site three years ago, when I was a ten-year-old newbie, wanting to be a fantastic author one day, and believing I already was on my way. I am now thirteen... and much, much wiser and much, much better at writing than I once was.
If you wondered what the hell was wrong with me for writing stories people actually "enjoyed", then deleted them without reason, well, this is the answer: I was bored, dejected, and inspired with new ideas that, for some foolish reason, I believed were better than the original.
I've written several stories, under several pennames, and these are the stories I've written that people liked.
The Lion King III: Dawning of a New Era. Now, this was my very first TLK story. I set it some time after TLK II, and people enjoyed it, though they were constantly correcting it. Basically, it was a ten-year-old's version of TLK III, and it was incredibly stupid, in my opinion. Kovu and Kiara's son, Tavani, met Zira's new cub and heiress, Zaka, and fell in love with her; meanwhile, Vitani's vengeful daughter, Talia, plotted revenge and went behind her pride's back because of the prince's disregard of her, encouraging the hyenas to help destroy Tavani. In this story I foolishly killed every single canon character. Can you believe that? Every one. Simba, then Nala, then Kiara, then Zazu, then Vitani, then Rafiki, then Zira, then Kovu. God, how idiotic!
The Lion King IV: Circle of Death. In this sequel to my own TLK III, I killed my own characters left and right. Tavani and Zaka, king and queen of the Pridelands, had a son, Kisani. The hyenas (the good, kind ones, anyways) also had children and joined Tavani's reign. Anyways, Kisani was killed by a reject lion, a rogue outside the Pridelands with a thirst for blood (this lion happened to be Zaka's father) and the lion took over Pride Rock. Tavani and Zaka fled to a nice jungle, where Zaka was raped and had two children: one Tavani's and the other some crazed rapist. Those children found their way home, to their parents' origins, and killed the rogues, realeasing the Pridelands. This story, too, was awful and demented, but hey, a ten-year-old wrote it; remember that!
Vitani's Mate. Ridiculously short two-chapter story about Vitani's short romance with Talia's father, a rogue named Boru who died fighting some hyenas, and therefore a "plausible" explanation in Talia's soul. Prequel to TLK III.
The Darkest Heir. The story of Vitani going insane, haunted frequently by Zira's spirit in her nightmares, and plots to take over Pride Rock. I never finished this one, but it wasn't half-bad. I don't know; perhaps I'll pick it back up, better written, of course.
The Lion King 3: Path of Faith. Another TLK II sequel, (after I'd deleted the other stories, mind you) this one also involving the birth of Kiara and Kovu's child, Kizu, the daughter of Vitani (his mate), Zira, and two newcoming rogues. A lion who chased both rogues kidnapped Kiara and was later killed by Kizu. Pretty stupid, in my opinion, with a lot of impossible odds and ends.
The Lion King 4: Secrets of the Heart. Sequel to TLK 3: Path of Faith. Kitten (dreadful name, I know), the princess of the Pridelands, carries a heavy burden, for she has seen the death of her grandparents and parents. Absolutely horrible. I didn't even finish it, and for good reasons.
Sandstorm's View: This would have been interesting, had I finished it. A Warriors story, seeing the entire book series from Fireheart's cruel tormentor and spouse, Sandstorm. I got a lot of reviews for this, but I didn't finish it because I thought it was stupid. I was eleven when I wrote this, folks.
Warriors: Love Like Fire. Emberheart, a ThunderClan warrior, falls in love with a WindClan warrior named Silverwind. Although her friends warn her against it, she has kits with him, then watches him die on the moor, killed by an ambush by her own Clan. Pretty cliche, but I liked it at the time.
The Lion King III: Jewel of the Heart. Also an atrocious story. The children of Kovu and Kiara face dangers and stuff again. Very stupid. I didn't continue that one, either. I wrote that story when I was.. twelve. So, if you read it, don't judge me by it.
So, enough about my old crap.
I should be writing both a TLK and a Warriors fanfic soon, so if you're still interested in anything by Simba's Other Daughter, well, keep a lookout!
The Lion King III: Forgotten Memory.
Warriors: Faded Stars.

If you apply for a Retirement Account from a Scottish Widows adviser you will not have access to the full range of investment options available – we will tell you which options are available when you apply and provide you with the relevant investment guide including charges.
You only have to pay this charge if you buy a Retirement Account from an adviser. This is the cost of any advice and/or services that your financial adviser provides in relation to your Retirement Account and you will have agreed any amounts to be paid to them. Your adviser will normally offer you two payment options:
1.Pay your adviser directly. Or 2. Have the costs deducted from your Retirement Account.
The minimum payments into a new Retirement Account, after any tax relief has been added, are:
|Payment type
|Minimum payment (gross)
Please note – if there is more than one person paying into your Retirement Account, the different payers can reach the minimum payment amount between them. Different payment types can also be combined to achieve the minimum amount.
The minimum additional payments into an existing Retirement Account, after any tax relief has been added, are:
|Payment type
|Minimum payment (gross)
The minimum payment is £10,000 (before any tax-free lump sum is taken), provided there is at least £30,000 in the Retirement Planning element.
The minimum additional payment is £2,000 (before any tax-free lump sum is taken). Any remaining balance in the Retirement Planning part, if lower, can also be moved to Retirement Income.
To and through retirement, we want to make sure that you have the investment choice that you need. That's why Retirement Account provides a wide range of asset classes to invest in. We aim to cater for straightforward investment requirements, as well as those that are more complex, giving you both freedom and flexibility, and providing a number of investment solutions to help support your income requirements throughout your retirement.
When considering your options here, it's important to know that a Scottish Widows adviser can only discuss Scottish Widows funds and Strategies with you – others, for example fund supermarkets, you can only discuss and access via an independent financial adviser (IFA).
Below you'll find more information about the different investment solutions and who you can talk to about them.
For more information, you can:
A fund supermarket:
We recommend that you speak to your IFA for more information on the fund supermarket.
Please see our Fund Supermarket Investor's Guide
There are a number of other investment options available but, for these, only an IFA can discuss your options with you and/or make a recommendation. We have a number of guides available to help you have that conversation and you can find these below.
You and your IFA may decide that your investment needs are such that you require a more bespoke service to manage your Retirement Account investments.
We offer a range of Discretionary Fund Managers (DFMs) for you to choose from:
DFMs manage your investments, making investment decisions that bear in mind your circumstances, stated aims, attitude to risk, and other requirements. They can provide investment guidance, detailed research and risk profiling services.
Working with your IFA, the DFM will create and manage a bespoke investment portfolio on your behalf.
If you have an independent financial adviser (IFA) and would like more details, see the Retirement Account Share Dealing Guide
If you have an IFA and would like more details, see the Retirement Account Fixed Term Cash Deposit Guide
If you have an IFA and would like more details, see the Retirement Account Commercial Property Administration Guide
It's important to keep up-to-date with how your pension is performing and keep track of any benefits you're taking.
To help you do this, you can view your Retirement Account online where you'll have access to the following information:
We'll also send you a full statement each year.
You can normally access benefits from your Retirement Account from age 55 or over in the following ways. You don't have to choose just one option, you can combine them to suit your own needs.
|Retirement Account
|From Retirement Planning
|From Retirement Income
Pension Encashment
Access to tax-free cash
Income Drawdown (Flexible Access Drawdown)
If you still have money in Retirement Planning you need to review your options and contact us before your 75th birthday. Under the terms of this policy we require you to choose your retirement option(s) by age 75. That way you can take advantage of the full range available and don't miss out on taking your pension in the way that best suits your needs.
If we don't hear from you before your 75th birthday, we will automatically buy an annuity for you in accordance with the policy terms. This will give you a regular and guaranteed income for life but you will lose the opportunity to take tax-free cash or an alternative option which may better suit your needs. By missing out on the opportunity to shop around you might end up with a lower income as a better deal might be available elsewhere.
If you don't want to make a decision by age 75, you may be able to delay choosing a retirement option by transferring your policy to another provider. Any transfer request would need to be completed prior to your 75th birthday.
If we don't hear from you before your 75th birthday, we will automatically extend the Retirement Income part of your account to age 99. If you are taking income, continuing the current level of income payments after age 75 could use up all the monies held in your account well before age 99.
Retirement Account allows you to pass the value of your account on to your dependants or other beneficiaries, whether you are in Retirement Planning, Retirement Income, or both.
The value of your Retirement Account can be used to provide them with a lump sum or an income from an annuity or using income drawdown through Retirement Income.
If you die before you are 75, these benefits are normally tax free. If you die on or after age 75, they are taxed at the recipient's marginal rate of income tax.
No inheritance tax will normally be payable on the value of your account because we will choose the beneficiary, taking into account any nomination you make.
An adviser will be able to help you decide whether a Retirement Account is suitable for you, can help to understand your attitude to risk, and advise you on the mix of investments that may best suit your retirement goals.
This will take into account factors such as your age, health and your wishes regarding provision for any dependants you may have. You can then make clear decisions based on clear choices.
If you haven't got a financial adviser:
A Scottish Widows adviser will help you in the same way that an independent financial adviser will but we can only advise you on investment funds and strategies provided by Scottish Widows.
You can speak to a Scottish Widows adviser by calling 0345 845 1004.
Alternatively, request a call back and we'll call you at a time that's best for you.
You can get more information on consolidating your pensions here.
Whatever stage of the retirement journey you're at, get the basics before you go any further.
You now have more choices when it comes to taking your pensions and retirement income.
Got more than one pension? Then you could think about putting them all in one place. Combining your pensions with Scottish Widows is simple and we won't charge you for this service.

Normally a properties file can contain any kind of line separators and still be parsed correctly, which is a Good Thing IMHO.

To the Editor:
Mr. Pareles misses the point. Classical music isn't ''classical'' because it's written down rather than improvised. Instead, what makes it and any other form of human expression ''classical'' is its ability to transcend the circumstances of its original creation -- time, place, culture and performer personality. That's why we can talk about classic cars.
Jazz certainly passes that test: An art form that originated in the bordellos of New Orleans is relevant a century later to university students in Tokyo and senior citizens in Iceland. Granted, jazz isn't an American contribution to the Classical music stream of Bach, Beethoven and Stravinsky. But whether improvised or not, jazz surely is a classical music genre in its own right.

According to the manufacturer, Samsung's Galaxy Note has shifted some pretty impressive numbers since its launch last October. The 5.3-inch behemoth has shipped more than five million units in five months, a figure that will surely rise next month when it hits the shelves in Japan, where it'll only be the third 4G compatible smartphone on sale.
The Galaxy S II is currently Samsung's fastest-selling smartphone after shipping 10 million units in its first six months but considering the pocket-bulging dimensions of the Galaxy Note, the Koreans must be delighted with the figures.
To demonstrate the sheer size of the Galaxy Note, Samsung recently travelled Thailand to visit Peter the elephant, where they let him play around with the device. Peter didn't use the S-Pen, however. Because he's an elephant. You can see the results here.
It's unclear exactly how many of the five million units sold have been bought by elephants.

If you use ShadowProtect or any other backup program to restore your SBS 2008 server to alternate hardware, OR if you have it virtualised and you move it from one virtualisation host to another, then there are a few things you simply MUST do to ensure things work correctly with SBS 2008.
"First thing is that upon the first boot, you must use F8 to get into Safe mode. From here disable ANY antivirus software you have running on the system. Some AV software can interfere with the networking stack
Second thing to do is to reboot into Directory Services Restore mode. Here you will fix a static IP the same as the original onto the NIC of the server. Set the Default Gateway and DNS settings as well.
Now reboot into normal mode. Things will come up but you will not have AV protection.
Wait till the SBS console comes up then run the Fix My Network Wizard – it's on the Network tab and the Connectivity sub tab."

Kyrene de las Lomas and Kyrene de las Manitas elementary schools recently received gold awards and were named "Beat the Odds Schools" by Beat the Odds Institute, an initiative of the center for the future of Arizona.
The two schools were the only institutes that received the gold award in the entire state.
Schools in Arizona were given the chance to participate in becoming a Beat the Odds school, where principals attended monthly meetings collaborating ideas towards success and each school was given a school mentor.
Mentors visited the school on a monthly basis during the three-year program, where they worked on specific goals and developed action plans for schools.
Each year through the Beat the Odds program schools were given three awards: bronze, silver and gold, if requirements were met.
During the first year, schools received a bronze medal if an action plan was designed, the silver medal was awarded to schools showing academic growth, and the gold was awarded to schools that showed three years of continuous improvement.
Lomas received all three awards.
Lomas celebrated its award during a school assembly last Thursday, where Principal Brian Gibson thanked each student for their hard work towards achieving academic success.
"I had a mentor who helped guide me with questions I had, gave me solutions and helped me problem solve," Gibson said. "It was an exciting opportunity for me to have professional growth and mentoring beyond what my district offered."
Beat the Odds is centered around six keys to success, which focus on emphasizing the achievement of every student in every classroom and taking responsibility for that performances; assess student performance early and often; leaders are focused on the things that truly improve schools and keep pushing ahead; responsibility for the improvement is shared among all; sticking to a beneficial program; and customizing instruction and intervention to fit the needs of each student.
Beat the Odds mentor for Lomas, Kathi Frankel, worked for the past three years along side Gibson assisting from validating different plans at the school to organizing with different areas that were in need of improvement.
"We did a lot of shadowing, visiting classrooms and designing educational programs," Frankel said.
During the school assembly Gibson shared how the school was able to receive the gold award with the students, and spoke about the three goals he had for Lomas.
Gibson's goals for the school were becoming a Beat the Odds school, receiving notoriety from the press on the success the school has gained and receiving an "A" rating from the state.
Currently, the school has achieved two of the goals set by its principal, and is currently working towards the "A" rating (Lomas is currently a B-rated school).
Goals were achieved by the hard work from staff and students who continue to strive for higher-academic success, Gibson said.
"We're always talking about goals and setting goals and it is just nice when you see that come to fruition. To think three years ago this is the goal that we set... Achieving it was really exciting."

Texans' Arian Foster outrunning his doubters
HOUSTON Arian Foster— poet, philosopher and bolt-from-the-blue Pro Bowl player in 2010 — sounds unfazed regarding the pressure of producing a splashy encore.
"People kill me," says the 24-year-old Houston Texans running back and defending NFL rushing king while sharing a golf cart after practice. "I am trying to be the best me I can be. The whole 'one-year wonder' thing to me is ridiculous. I can see if you have (one) good game and never show again. But 16 games of consistency? That's not easy to do.
"(But) there are always going to be skeptics, man. It's crazy. A year ago, no one was talking about me."
Almost no one. Maurice Jones-Drew was prescient. Before last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars running back predicted Foster would be a force to be reckoned with after he played sparingly in 2009 as an undrafted free agent from Tennessee, where he majored in philosophy and wrote poetry.
Foster's bust-to-boom transformation featured 2,220 rushing-receiving yards, including 1,616 rushing yards — most ever by an undrafted player. He also added 66 receptions. Foster became the third player in league history to amass at least 1,600 yards rushing and 600 yards receiving in the same season, including 231 on the ground in the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Texans key additions/losses
Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith had a busy, productive offseason. He was able to retain several key players in March and then culminated the defense's 3-4 makeover in August by signing cornerback Johnathan Joseph and safety Danieal Manning. "We improved our team," Smith said.
Additions: Joseph, Manning, LB Tim Dobbins, P Brad Maynard, FB Lawrence Vickers
Subtractions: S Bernard Pollard, LB Zac Diles, DE Jarvis Green, FB
The 6-1, 230-pounder, who thrived in the Texans' one-cut, zone-blocking scheme, concealed a torn meniscus in his knee during his incredible season. He got hurt again Friday, tweaking a hamstring. He is out indefinitely.
The doubters, Foster said, always will lurk.
"(My critics) were saying, 'You can't make the team.' As soon as I made the team, it was, 'You can't be a (good) running back.' Soon as I was good, it was, 'You can only do it for one year.' If I have (another) good season this year, I guarantee you it will be, 'It is the third year in a row that (proves greatness).'
"I call (those critics) 'dream killers.' When I was 7, I said I wanted to play (pro) football, and that is what I am doing. People somehow find it important to try to diminish what you are doing. I don't understand it."
Said Texans tackle Eric Winston, "I know this: You don't luck into 1,616 (yards)."
Or 18 touchdowns. After Foster crashes into the end zone, he performs his trademark Hindu "I see the God in you" greeting, a bow with hands held in prayer-like fashion.
"I am not vindictive by nature," Foster said. "(After last season) I heard a lot of 'I know you could' and 'I was wrong about you' (comments). I treat everybody the same: I love everybody. … That is all we have in this world is attitude. Everything else is a facade."
The Texans love the former San Diego prep star, too — particularly for his $525,000 salary in '11. As an exclusive-rights free agent, he signed a one-year deal for the third-year minimum, which included a $45,000 raise mandated by the collective bargaining agreement. Married and a father (2-year-old daughter Zeniah Egypt), Foster accepts, for now, that he is underpaid.
"(But) at the end of the day, I go home and I don't have to worry about the lights being cut off," he said. "Those were problems I had to worry about as a kid."
As far as matching the standard he achieved a year ago, that might be more problematical with the loss of Pro Bowl fullback Vonta Leach, now a Baltimore Raven.
"I think you (news media) guys set standards; I just play the game the way it's supposed to be played," Foster said. "You cannot get caught up in statistics.
"I want to be great — put it like that. Who doesn't want to be great? We play this game to have our names remembered."

Grayden PoperSan Francisco, CA | Art Director, Odopod
A wise man once said, "If you never want to work a day of your life, find something you love and make it your job." Design has played a major role in my life over the past 10 years. I have made a career out of it. Even though I spend countless hours at work designing I still desire to design in my free time. I find it extremely entertaining, therapeutic, fun, and rewarding. My focus over the past 10 years has been interactive design. It's fascinating to create something and then bring it to life with code. Once you have this "living design" people will interact with it. Solving for this type of problem is what I enjoy the most.
Working with people is a MUST for me. I feed off of others and want to make the others around me better. I get the opportunity to work with smart and passionate people every day at my job at Odopod.
Work hard, have fun, solve the problem in front of you, & be humble.
I currently live in San Francisco, I'm happily married, and father of a 2 year old boy. My family is supportive and make me want to be a better man. I'm so thankful for them.

Meanwhile, directly across the street from the courthouse, gay and lesbian couples continued to take their vows at City Hall. More than 2,400 couples — some from Europe — have been married since Thursday, when the mayor began allowing such unions.
Conservative groups say Mayor Gavin Newsom is violating his oath of office by issuing licenses when California law clearly states that marriage is restricted to a man and a woman. Tuesday, they were in San Francisco County Superior Court seeking an emergency order to stop the marriages.
"If the mayor can't read the law, we're hoping a judge can read it for him," said Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for California Families.
But lawyers for Newsom said he opened marriage to same-sex couples because not doing so would violate the equal-protection clause of California's constitution.
"Doing what the constitution requires you to do is not anarchy; it's the antithesis of anarchy," Therese Stewart, chief deputy city attorney, said at one hearing Tuesday. "The constitution is the highest law of the land."
Two judges were asked Tuesday to grant emergency orders. One judge said he could not hear the matter until next week. The second declined to issue an order.
The conservative groups said they would appeal to the California Supreme Court.
The developments in San Francisco are the latest in the national debate over gay marriage. Massachusetts' highest court recently ordered that same-sex marriages be legalized in that state by mid-May. Meanwhile, legislatures in 10 states are debating constitutional amendments to bar same-sex marriage, and Congress is considering amending the U.S. Constitution.
Although City Hall cut back the number of marriages it performed on Tuesday, dozens of couples still lined up for marriage licenses. Across the street, the courthouse was packed with reporters, photographers and activists. Many waited hours for a seat in the tiny courtroom, and dozens were turned away.

Sheltered housing
Sheltered housing may be a suitable option for older people who want to continue to live independently.
What is sheltered housing?
Sheltered housing gives older people the independence of having their own flat with the security of having an alarm system and a warden. The flats are usually small self-contained units or single rooms in a complex, which often has a communal social area.
It is also possible to find sheltered housing to rent or to buy.
The sheltered housing staff should check on you every day and be able to assist you in an emergency. They would not be expected to provide care or do things like shopping.
Additional care in sheltered housing
If you require additional services, you can still have care provided by the social services department, such as meals on wheels, or someone to come in to get you up in the morning, or to help you wash, or do your housework.
Alternatively, you could move into very sheltered housing or extra care sheltered housing, where services such as meals and personal care are usually provided.
Who provides sheltered housing?
A number of housing providers have sheltered housing complexes. These include councils, housing associations (to rent, for shared ownership, or to buy outright), and voluntary organisations, such as Abbeyfield or The Almshouse Association.
Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC) has information on housing options and a directory of advice services to help you if you have any problems or need further information.
Buying sheltered housing
It is sometimes possible to buy a flat in a sheltered housing complex. If you already own your home, it may be easier for you to buy than to rent, as home owners are usually not given priority on waiting lists to rent from the council or a housing association.
Further information about sheltered housing
Further information about sheltered housing is available from Age UK.
You can also search for schemes in your local area through HousingCare.
