¶ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. |
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. |
And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. |
¶ And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. |
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? |
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. |
¶ Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. |
¶ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, |
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? |
¶ And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. |
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. |
When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. |
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. |
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. |
¶ When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. |
¶ And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, |
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. |
And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. |
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. |
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. |
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. |
¶ The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; |
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) |
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. |
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? |
¶ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. |
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. |
¶ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? |
¶ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. |
¶ They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? |
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. |
¶ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. |
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. |
¶ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. |
¶ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. |
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. |
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. |
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. |
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. |
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. |
¶ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. |
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? |
¶ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. |
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. |
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. |
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. |
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. |
I am that bread of life. |
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. |
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. |
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. |
¶ The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? |
¶ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. |
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. |
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. |
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. |
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. |
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. |
¶ These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. |
¶ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? |
¶ When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? |
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? |
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. |
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. |
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. |
¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. |
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? |
¶ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. |
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. |
¶ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? |
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. |

Estrogen receptor positive (ER-positive) breast tumors account for approximately three-quarters of all new cases. Patients with advanced tumors are treated based on the presence of risk factors such as the presence of visceral metastasis, short disease free interval are traditionally treated with chemotherapy regardless of ER status. In a recent review article published in the Annals of Oncology, the authors identified a category of patients with advanced breast cancer and poor prognostic features that can benefit from endocrine therapy.
In a recent issue of Annals of Oncology, Barrios et al1 reviewed the current options available for the management of estrogen receptor positive (ER-positive) advanced breast cancer. The authors identified a category of patients with advanced breast cancer and poor prognostic features that can benefit from endocrine therapy.1
Breast cancer is more common in postmenopausal women which account for approximately 75% of cases.2 Eighty percent of postmenopausal breast cancers are ER-positive, while approximately 65% of premenopausal women express ER-positivity.2, 3 This, according to the article, roughly suggests that ER-positive tumors account for three-quarters of cases overall.1
Treatment of metastatic breast cancer is essentially palliative.4, 5 The challenge is to weigh the likelihood of achieving effective palliation against the burden of toxicity. Certain prognostic factors can assist in the decision making. A long relapse free interval is more favorable than a shorter period6-8; the number of sites of involved with metastasis is also an important prognostic indicator, with patients presenting with isolated metastasis faring better than those with extensive spread.6, 7 In addition, the presence of visceral metastasis confers a degree of urgency which is typically treated with chemotherapy with its more rapid response rate. Other factors include poor performance status 9; ER status 8, 10; HER-2 positivity 11-13; and high tumor grade.8, 10, 14
Visceral metastasis is defined in CALGB studies as lymphangitis carcinomatosa of the lungs, bone marrow infiltration, carcinomatous meningitis or widespread liver metastatasis.15, 16 While non-visceral metastasis that may benefit from endocrine therapy include soft tissue metastasis and bone metastasis.5, 17
Generally speaking, advanced breast cancer patients are broken down into: (1) ER-negative cases that receive chemotherapy 17; (2) HER-2 positive patients who receive trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy, especially since they tend to be less responsive to endocrine therapy 17, 18; (3) ER-positive patients that do not show any poor prognostic features who are given endocrine therapy upfront 5, 17; (4) ER-positive patients with poor prognostic factors that receive chemotherapy upfront.17
In clinical practice, visceral metastasis is usually the decision point in the management of metastatic breast cancer. Barrios et al identify a category of patients with poor prognostic factors that may benefit from first line endocrine therapy. Interestingly, this would include patients with visceral metastasis but not as he names it, visceral crisis, such as those with small volume liver or lung disease and patients with few or no symptoms. The rationale being that chemotherapy does not seem to influence overall survival in these patients and treatment-related toxicity is unwarranted.1
I personally recall treating a 50 year old breast cancer patient presenting radiologically with multiple liver metastases but without any symptoms. Initially she was given the appropriate chemotherapy regimen but failed to show a radiological response after four cycles. Given her relatively long history, we felt we had run out of chemotherapy options and the decision was to give letrozole a chance. Letrozole was a relatively new drug at the time, not yet approved in the adjuvant setting; therefore, the patient had not received the drug previously. She underwent a dramatic response which was both rapid and durable with a better quality of life when compared to her previous course of chemotherapy. It's not every day that you get a nice surprise in the practice of oncology and this one was particularly memorable.
Not all ER-positive patients respond so completely, but this story emphasizes the need to justify prescribing chemotherapy in asymptomatic patients when a clear benefit in outcome is doubtful. This brings to mind the recent discovery that endocrine positive tumors can belong to one of two genetic categories (luminal A or luminal B)19, 20, which have different prognostic implications, and would explain why some ER positive patients respond to endocrine therapy more dramatically than others.19, 20
At this stage I would like to emphasize a point that's not always mentioned in conferences or apparent in Kaplan–Meier survival curves. While only a handful of agents have shown a survival benefit for metastatic breast cancer21, for the patient with life threatening visceral crisis the story is very different. For these individual patients there is a survival benefit. The rapid regression that may be observed with successful chemotherapy could be a life saving decision. A long time ago some colleagues used the term "emergency chemotherapy" to refer to chemotherapy that is administered in an emergency situation aimed at saving lives.22 This is clinically significant, for the individual patient who can tolerate a chemotherapy regimen that is expected to incur a rapid tumor regression and alleviate potentially fatal symptoms. One such example would be the treatment of lymphangitis carcinomatosa, where therapy is a race against time.
Another important point that should be mentioned here is the recent discovery that ER positive tumors have a reduced sensitivity to chemotherapy in both the adjuvant23-26 and neoadjuvant settings.27-30 This article elegantly casts doubt on the evidence that these findings may be extrapolated to the metastatic setting, citing the inadequacy of available trials comparing chemotherapy outcome in ER positive versus ER negative disease.1
This article touches on some very important aspects in our understanding of the role played by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in the treatment of endocrine positive advanced breast cancer. Clearly, chemotherapy is not for everyone especially asymptomatic patients. In some patients endocrine therapy is associated with similar therapeutic responses compared to chemotherapy and is associated with a better Quality of Life (QoL). Traditionally advanced breast cancer patients with visceral metastasis, shorter time to progression and symptoms are treated with chemotherapy regardless of ER status. The authors of this article identified a category of patients with advanced breast cancer and poor prognostic features that can benefit from endocrine therapy.

Pennsylvania Among 'Terrible 10' Most Regressive Tax States
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Fri, 02/01/2013 - 1:47pm.By Chris Lilienthal, Third and State
Working families in Pennsylvania pay a far higher share of their income in state and local taxes than the state's wealthiest earners, according to a new study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP).
Pennsylvania's tax system scored so poorly that it made the list of the "Terrible 10" most regressive tax states in the nation.
The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (PBPC) co-released the report, Who Pays? A Distributional Analysis of the Tax Systems in All 50 States, with ITEP. PBPC Director Sharon Ward made the point in a press release that "No one would deliberately design a tax system where low-income working families pay the greatest share of their income in taxes, but that is exactly the type of upside-down tax system we have in Pennsylvania."
Middle-income families in Pennsylvania pay more than double the share of their income in taxes than the very wealthiest Pennsylvanians, while low-income families pay nearly three times as much as top earners, the report found. Get more details on the report, including a Pennsylvania fact sheet, here.
The report should bury once and for all the myth of the makers vs. the takers. Low-income families in Pennsylvania are paying much more of their income in state and local taxes than the top 1%.

PA Revenue Strong Midway Through Year; Tax Cut Could Have Big Impact
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Mon, 01/07/2013 - 10:51am.By Michael Wood, Third and State
With a strong December showing, the commonwealth now has a General Fund revenue surplus of $171 million (1.4% above estimate) for the first half of the 2012-13 fiscal year, double the Corbett administration's revised estimate for the entire fiscal year. The strong December collections exceeded estimate by $112 million (or 4.8%).
The increased revenue is a good sign of a modestly recovering national economy and a brightening of the state's fiscal picture going into the 2013-14 budget season. This is a nice change from previous years when midyear shortfalls triggered cuts to state services.
In December, personal income, corporate, and realty transfer taxes exceeded revenue targets by 10.1%, with sales, inheritance and other taxes (on cigarettes, alcohol, and table games) falling short of expectations by 2.8%.
A similar picture exists over the first half of 2012-13 — corporate, personal income and realty transfer tax collections are a combined 5% higher than expected, while sales, inheritance, and other taxes have fallen 2.4% short of budget estimates.
One area of concern is that sales tax collections (the state's second largest tax source) are $125 million, or 2.7%, lower than projected. It is not clear the reason for this as vehicle sales and consumer spending have been increasing. Perhaps the new tax collections from some online retailers may not be as large as anticipated.
Compared to last year, collections are $583 million, or 5%, higher, with corporate ($254 million) and personal income tax ($186 million) collections making up most of the increase in 2012-13.

What to Make of the Fiscal Cliff Deal?
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Thu, 01/03/2013 - 5:06pm.By Sharon Ward, Third and State
Tell us what you think about the Fiscal Cliff deal. Take our two-question survey.
The agreement reached by President Obama and Congress on January 1 was both historic and disappointing — and it leaves much unsettled. The urgency of the Fiscal Cliff has dissipated, but significant threats remain to federal funding for state and local services as well as refundable tax credits for low-income working families, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
There is much to dislike in this agreement. It makes permanent most of the Bush era tax cuts, ensuring that income from dividends and capital gains will be taxed at a lower rate than income from work. It makes permanent the estate tax but locks in a tax rate that creates a huge windfall for the top 0.3% of households. Sequestration cuts — the automatic spending cuts that members of both parties hated and the President said would not occur — have been postponed for two months, with three-quarters of FFY 2013 cuts ($85.6 billion) and $109 billion in annual cuts after that still in law through 2022. The President's line in the sand on raising tax rates for the top 2% of earners got pushed way back, with top rates kicking in at $400,000 for an individual and $450,000 for a couple. A low-wage earner might need 20 years to make that much.

Pennsylvania Tax Giveaways and an Island in the Sun
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Thu, 11/08/2012 - 12:02pm.By Jamar Thrasher, Third and State
A few weeks ago, the Pennsylvania General Assembly fast-tracked a bill in the waning days of the legislative session to allow certain private companies to keep most of the state income taxes of new employees. News reports to follow indicated the new tax giveaway was designed to lure California-based software firm Oracle to State College.
Well, it turns out the CEO of Oracle, which will benefit from the largess of Pennsylvania taxpayers, recently bought his very own Hawaiian island, as CNN reported back in June.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, the third richest man in the U.S., purchased about 98% of Lana'i, the sixth largest of the Hawaiian islands. Forbes reported that the deal was rumored to be worth $500 million.
As CNN tells us:
The island includes two luxury resorts, two golf courses, two club houses and 88,000 acres of land, according to a document filed with the Public Utilities Commission.
Which bring us back to Pennsylvania, where Governor Corbett recently signed House Bill 2626, allowing qualifying companies that create at least 250 new jobs within five years to pocket 95% of the personal income taxes paid by the new employees.

Pennsylvania Hunger Games Diet: Cash for Corporations, Cuts for Kids
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Wed, 05/16/2012 - 5:15pm.By Mark Price, Third and State
On Tuesday Marty Moss-Coane, the host of WHYY's Radio Times, moderated a question-and-answer session with Governor Tom Corbett at an event sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. The Governor ran wild with analogies.
- Bob Fernandez, The Philadelphia Inquirer — With protesters nearby, Corbett sticks to message for Phila. Chamber:
Corbett repeated a folksy analogy to the business suit-and-tie audience, saying that state revenue amounted to an eight-inch pizza pie before the 2008 financial crisis. Now, he said, it's a six-inch pie "but with the same mouths to feed."
- Chris Brennan, Philadelphia Daily News — Corbett: Open to spending more, but not protesters:
Moss-Coane noted near the end of the hour-long conversation that Corbett could hear demonstrators beating drums and chanting slogans outside. What would he say to them, she asked.
"I understand that you're upset because we've had to put the state on a diet, for want of a better description," Corbett said. "I haven't met anybody who likes to go on diets. It is not easy. It is not what we want to do."
Multi-tasking with the 1% … killing the schools AND making the poor pay for their funeral.
Submitted by Stan Shapiro on Thu, 05/10/2012 - 5:37pm.I showed here how we could raise $94 million for the School District from the property tax, as requested by the Mayor, and sequester it until the SRC abandons its privatization plan. But is the property tax the best place to get the money? If the City raised the $94 million from some other source, it could still sequester it until the SRC sees the light.
The 1% generally likes the property tax. It's a regressive tax that falls most heavily on people who are property-rich, cash poor. How sweet it would be to make poor and working people not only pay more, but to make them pay more for destruction of one of their greatest assets, the public school system.
There has been dispute, however, whether a property tax increase as it's been packaged this year would indeed hit poor people the hardest.
Some progressives think that a property tax increase this year would not be regressive because it would emerge out of the AVI initiative intended to correct the massive inequities in City property assessments. But even if assessments were accurate, and didn't under-value richer neighborhoods, poor property owners would still get hit hardest from tax rate increases. It's just the nature of the property tax. It taxes at a single rate that the rich can pay much easier than the poor.
AVI, if done right, is a good thing. Increasing rates, however, to generate more revenue from the tax, might still not be.
Let the Games Begin: PA Senate Announces Details of Budget Proposal
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 12:37pm.By Sharon Ward, Third and State
Action on the state budget began in earnest Monday with state Senator Jake Corman, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, releasing important details on the Senate budget plan that will be advanced this week.
The proposal would increase Governor Tom Corbett's budget proposal by $500 million, with total spending rising from $27.15 billion to $27.65 billion for 2012-13. The Senate plan rejects $191 million in fund transfers and new revenue and proposes new spending cuts of $165 million. Those spending reductions were not yet detailed.

Good News on PA Revenue But Don't Count Your Blessings Just Yet
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 12:08pm.By Sharon Ward, Third and State
Pennsylvania's Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) released its revenue estimate this week, offering a more upbeat view of the economy moving forward. The official revenue estimate predicts a smaller revenue shortfall for the current year and more robust revenue collections for 2012-13.
The IFO estimate leaves the General Assembly with as much as $800 million available to restore cuts proposed by the Governor. This is clearly good news, but both the Corbett administration and legislative leaders are already dampening expectations about the scale of funding restorations.
A Look at the Numbers
In the current 2011-12 fiscal year, the Corbett budget pegged revenue at $27.1 billion, with a revenue shortfall of $719 million. The IFO estimates revenue collections will be $419 million higher, at $27.5 billion and a shortfall of $300 million for the fiscal year. With $700 million in current-year reserves, this leaves an actual year-end surplus of around $400 million.
In the 2012-13 fiscal year, the IFO predicts revenue at $28.7 billion. This is approximately $404 million higher than the Corbett budget (the IFO excludes $142 million in new revenue sources proposed by the Governor in his budget plan, since those measures have not yet been enacted). See a table with more details.
PA Revenue Picture Brightens
Submitted by pennbpc on Mon, 04/09/2012 - 1:16pm.By Michael Wood, PA Budget and Policy Center
Pennsylvania tax collections came in better than expected in March, lowering the state's total revenue shortfall for the current fiscal year. It was also the first March ever in which tax collections exceeded the $4 billion mark.
With three months left in the 2011-12 fiscal year, the revenue shortfall stands at $387 million, much lower than the year-end revenue shortfall of $719 million estimated by the Corbett administration and built into his 2012-13 budget.
This should be welcome news as lawmakers move closer to negotiating a 2012-13 state budget. Improved collections may signal a less severe year-end shortfall, and that could help reduce some of the painful cuts proposed in the Governor's budget. Get the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center's full revenue analysis here.
March is an important revenue month for a number of reasons. For one, almost half of corporate tax collections for the year were collected last month. And corporate taxes exceeded monthly estimates by $106 million, or nearly 5%, last month. This played a big role in creating a March revenue surplus of $95 million.
After the strong March collections, every major tax type now exceeds year-to-date tax collections this time last year. Taxes are now $583 million higher than they were at the end of March 2011 — a sign of the improving economy.
Tax Breaks Vs. Budget Cuts
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Fri, 04/06/2012 - 3:29pm.By Chris Lilienthal, Third and State
Right now in Harrisburg, there is a debate going on over whether the state should make more cuts to schools, universities and protections for our children and grandparents. Unfortunately, the Governor has put forth a budget that would do just that.
The chart below from Better Choices for Pennsylvania compares existing tax loopholes with funding cuts that could be restored by closing loopholes. In each case, additional revenue could help fund vital services without raising taxes on the middle class.
As Economy Picks Up, PA Revenues Take Turn for the Better
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 5:05pm.A blog post by Michael Wood, originally published at Third and State.
After months of falling short of targets, Pennsylvania's General Fund tax collections edged past the monthly estimate in February by $16 million, or about 1%. The good showing was driven largely by higher-than-expected personal income tax collections. Corporate tax collections continued to trail estimates.
The improving revenue picture for both January and February may signal that tax collections (other than corporate levies) have taken a turn for the better. There have been many signs of a growing economic recovery, including a decrease in the unemployment rate, which bodes well for many state tax streams in the second half of the 2011-12 fiscal year.
February collections trimmed the revenue shortfall for the fiscal year to $482 million, or 3%. Tax collections for the fiscal year trail estimates by $449 million.
Compared to the prior fiscal year, total tax collections are up $507 million, or 3%, as of February — another sign that the economy is improving.
Before we break out the champagne, the continuing — and largely self-inflicted — shortfall in corporate tax collections is a cause for concern.
Corporate taxes fell 13% short of estimate in February, bringing the shortfall for the year to just under $300 million, or 18%. Much of the corporate tax shortfall can be laid at the feet of the Corbett administration's February 2011 decision to adopt the federal "bonus depreciation" — something Pennsylvania previously had not done.
PA Budget Summit: Resources and a Recap
Submitted by pennbpc on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 6:42pm.The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center hosted its annual Budget Summit on Thursday in Harrisburg, providing an in-depth look at the state and federal budget plans and what they mean for communities and families across Pennsylvania. With nearly 200 in attendance, it was our largest Budget Summit yet.
Check out our web site where we have posted materials from the Summit, including presentations on the state and federal budgets. And check back next week when we will have more, including video clips from the Summit.
And take a minute to watch this report from Fox 43 for a nice (and quick) recap of the Summit.
From the Fox 43 report:
Educators, political candidates, and community leaders gathering to discuss how Governor Corbett's proposed budget would affect them at the Pennsylvania Budget Summit.
"The ultimate goal is for everyone in this room to understand what's happening in Harrisburg. To be able to talk to their lawmakers intelligently, and bring their messages back to their communities to get involved, and speak up about the things that they value," says Sharon Ward with the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
White House Plan to Close Special Interest Tax Loopholes Is the Right Approach to Reform, But Details Matter
Submitted by PennPIRG on Thu, 02/23/2012 - 11:08am.The President has put forward the beginnings of a tax reform plan that takes the right approach, but is still missing critical details.
America needs a level playing field where businesses succeed by being more productive and innovative, not by hiding profits in the Cayman Islands or other tax havens. By ending special-interest tax preferences, the administration plan could help the economy and reduce debt, while addressing public outrage about large companies dodging their taxes.
The current system serves nobody except the relatively few companies that can most exploit these loopholes and the armies of tax lawyers and lobbyists that must be hired to play this destructive game."
The President's plan includes very promising proposals. If the details include reforms such as complete reporting of all profits and taxes paid, clear cut rules to end profit shifting to bogus off-shore subsidiaries and enforceable minimum rates to deter tax avoidance gamesmanship, then this plan will fulfill its promise.
Preventing firms from sheltering profits overseas will encourage companies to keep their business here. We were encouraged to see some of the revenue raised put toward clean energy. We urge that loophole closing is pursued aggressively and that additional revenue will be put toward some combination of reducing the public debt and reducing severe cuts to public priorities.
Some Hope for PA Revenue in January but Corporate Taxes Still Lag
Submitted by Thirdandstate.org on Wed, 02/22/2012 - 5:11pm.A blog post by Michael Wood, originally published at Third and State.
Pennsylvania's revenue performance has been pretty uneven this fiscal year due in part to a stubbornly slow growing economy and to policies that have cut the tax bills of big profitable corporations. After months of significant revenue shortfalls, however, January provided some hope.
General Fund collections came in close to estimate in January – falling $10.2 million, or 0.5%, short of monthly targets. This is a marked improvement over the previous several months, when revenues fell between 3% and 6% short of estimate. Get my full analysis of the January revenue numbers here.
January is an uneventful month for most revenue streams, with personal income tax collections being the exception. January is second only to April, when tax returns are due.
Corporate collections continued to fall significantly short of estimate in January and account for more than half of the General Fund's revenue shortfall so far in 2011-12.
Revenue collections for the 2011-12 Fiscal Year are $497 million, or 3.5%, below the Corbett administration's revenue estimates. The administration is now projecting a year-end revenue shortfall of $719 million, although the Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) believes this to be too pessimistic, based on recent economic trends. The IFO expects the year-end shortfall to be in the $500 million range.

An Argentine prostitute is charging that Don Omar spent two hot nights with her...and then skipped out on the $4,000 bill. On the TV show Al Rojo Vivo, she also said he's very dominant in bed, and likes S&M. Oh yeah, and that all this happened while he was already engaged to Jackie Guerrero. Of course, Don Omar denies knowing the prostitute and that nothing ever happened between them. Hmmm...ten cuidado, Jackie!

Wireless LAN features
Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal (High Frequency Signal), with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted. The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network (where a bandpass filter limits the frequency range to between 300 and 3400 Hz), or over a limited radio frequency band. The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband (or lowpass) signal, for example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a different frequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.

Social Teamworking By Brian Simpson, Director of Social Hospitality, The Roger Smith Hotel | June 10, 2010
Social networks are useful, powerful, and are not going away. It is undeniable that there is an opportunity for many companies, especially hospitality brands, to embrace these channels of communication to build brand loyalty and engage customers. Yet despite the potential benefits, social networking also introduces a number of worries for hospitality organizations, including that of monitoring employee participation beyond that of one or two key people. Employee conversations regarding work will happen and it is of course up to the brand to control participation. However, being overly concerned with monitoring messages and usage is a reactionary step. While many companies are far too worried about monitoring employees versus utilizing them, the Roger Smith Hotel (www.rogersmith.com) in New York City has taken the stance of encouraging online engagement from all departments. The boutique hotel has a philosophy: "It's all about the people." Being a part of the Roger Smith family is based on human growth, and when employees are encouraged to think, participate and share, that culture becomes stronger. The tools of social media and technology are only as effective as the people contributing. A team effort From the owners to the bartenders, participation on social networking sites is encouraged, supported and developed from within. When it comes to social monitoring of employees, the Roger Smith Hotel is proactive and finds creative ways for team members to be productive using the tools of social networking. Four years ago, the Roger Smith Hotel started a video-based blog, which has evolved into a network of social sites including Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and lastly a blog. The key to "Roger Smith Life," as these outlets are collectively named, is life. Contributions to all of these networks come from a diverse group of people and all employees are encouraged to take part. For instance, the hotel has incorporated sales and customer service into its social networking efforts. Using Twitter, the Roger Smith Hotel has increased brand awareness, sales, customer service and more. The hotel currently has more than twenty employees using Twitter, and most recently, the hotel's director of revenue joined Twitter (@RevGirl) to facilitate guest requests for reservations. By including all departments and individuals in the process of being social, it accomplishes a few different objectives: first, employees become more valuable to the organization while still performing daily tasks; second, employees realize the importance that personal branding brings to the whole business; and finally, employees are taught the importance of social media as it relates to work, not as a time killer. Philosophies to follow In 2009 the Roger Smith Hotel started loosing control, for the best. Instead of dictating the message, it supported the messenger through the following strategies and philosophies: Use employees to build alternate channels of communication and exposure. Employees are people, and people connect with other real people. Take advantage of this. Building trust takes a team of people standing behind and representing the product. Using social networks educates clients about the company, and more importantly, about the people that make the business unique. Individual people sharing stories of the Roger Smith Hotel, and their own stories, is the way that social media works to its fullest potential. The ability to involve employees, customers and the virtual community all on one plane is a key component to the Roger Smith Hotel's success. If 2009 was all about new tools in social networking, then 2010 should be about integrating these tools into everyday business and focusing staff members to do the same. When a company makes its employees a part of the bigger picture and allows participation, especially in hospitality, the outcome is most often greater customer satisfaction and loyalty. Continuing to utilize employees in social networking will be a main focus at the Roger Smith Hotel. RELATED ARTICLES: Social Networking with ROI How to Make Restaurant Promotions Work for You

Chuck Tryon has a noteworthy post up titled "A You-Tube Theory of Montage," assessing some of the art-world uses of YouTube for compilation films. His conclusions hinge on how the artists deploy (or don't deploy) YouTube's medium specificity, but I have a more basic, literal question: does You Tube employ a different type of montage?
After all, in my film analysis classes, I've been trying to articulate, specify, and even categorize the ways that edits convey intellectual relationships between images. And to begin with, the compilation (found footage) film often relies on intellectual connection of a second order: here, montage's meaning less likely states an intellectual relationship between images than an intellectual dimension to representation itself (or the implied author's position). Two examples from Report (Bruce Conner 67) illustrate the difference. In the first,
the word "wish" (in a whimsical sans-serif font connoting both children's cartoons and advertising) ironizes what follows. The exact message is hardly programmatic: the New Frontier might be an untenable fantasy sold to the American people as yet another consumer good; the public's charismatic attachment to politics might be what perished in 1963; or maybe the wish fulfillment lies in the retroactive construction of Camelot out of a particular figure of political power. Nonetheless, in some capacity, the edit presents Kennedy's administration as a wish.
Compare with the second example...
Any of these images might individually have thematic resonance with other parts of the film, but as a montage unit, they do not connect in a logical chain (the detective has no semantic bearing on explosions and battle). Instead, they signify "inundation of movies." Armed with some of the montage from the rest of the film, we can further read these three shots as suggesting that movies define American life as much as (or more than) its political reality, but that nonetheless popular culture reveals a secret key to the American psyche.
The second-order montage is even relatively restrained in Report, which stands out among Conner's oeuvre for the seriousness of its tone. The found footage film would play up the meta-level of signification more.
But what of YouTube? Possibly, second-order compilation montage has found a significant place on it. Another type of montage, though, seems prominent. Andy Borowitz's mashup of a Hillary Clinton Speech and a Tyra Banks Next Top Model flipout exemplifies it. The humor and frisson of the piece is a very particular belief/disbelief: the spectator knows the shots are disparate times/places cut together, yet the shots nonetheless synthesize into a new, seamless reality show. The same logic subtends the humor and power of the Shining trailer or the whole genre of fake and recut trailers. It's a different kind of belief/disbelief than Metz's two types of voyeurism - psychoanlaytic precepts might not be the best way to explain it. It, too, is a second order montage, saying as much about the disparity (and commonality) between official politics and reality television. It's both more audacious and less challenging than cinematic intellectual montage.

This play with belief/disbelief is something that I've tried to address in both of my academic articles on political mashups (one co-written with Rich Edwards), but I'm not quite sure I've been able to put it fully together. I think the reference to Metz is really helpful here, although I think you're right that it's something quite different. Henry Jenkins' reference to a vaudeville aesthetic/cinema of attractions model seems more applicable.
Thanks for pointing to the Hillary/Tyra mashup. I hadn't seen it until now. - 8:50 AM

A track-only McLaren Mercedes SLR 722? Why yes, it's the GTR, and according to accompanying signage, it's 661 pounds less than a typical 722. It's a ready-to-race model in the vein of the Ferrari FXX. Apparently, only 21 are set for production, at 775,000 Euros a pop, and will likely be sold only to hardcore Mercedes insiders.

Jim Doti: Pushing limits on 'The Bold and the Beautiful'
Just when I thought my budding career as a soap opera star had come to an end, I got my callback from Casey. My role as Mr. Chapman, CFO, on "The Bold and the Beautiful" wasn't dead. Mr. Chapman would return.
For those who didn't read my earlier column about my first appearance on B&B, let me explain. A very successful Chapman University grad by the name of Casey Kasprzyk is associate producer of B&B. He pulled a few strings, and lo and behold, I had a guest spot with four speaking lines as Mr. Chapman, chief financial officer of fashion house Forrester Industries.
This was a big deal. We're not talking about just any soap. B&B won more Emmys than any other show at the Daytime Emmy Awards this past June. Even better, B&B received the Monte Carlo Television Festival Award for being the most watched daily drama series in the world. Did you get that? … The world!
The callback didn't come easy. I greased the wheels by asking everyone I came into contact with, including the thousand people who attended our June Economic Forecast Update Conference, to go to YouTube and watch "Jim Doti on B&B." I figured the more "hits," the more likely I'd get my callback. It worked! Not long after going over the 5,000-hit mark, Casey called. Mr. Chapman was back in action.
My initial euphoria was dampened, however, when I received a copy of the script. I'd hoped for a meaty part the second time around, perhaps a romantic relationship with one of Forrester's many models. No such luck. It looked to me like I was being typecast as the CFO patsy who's quickly shuffled out of the office by the young and handsome chief executive, Rick Forrester, played by a very gifted actor, Jacob Young. His rush to get me out is so he can carry on his escapades with one of the many lovelies traipsing in and out of his office.
Even worse, I, or that is, Mr. Chapman, had only two speaking lines. But I'm a trouper, and didn't someone say, "There are no small parts, just small actors"?
Well, I might have a "small part," but I'm certainly not going to be a "small actor." Er, maybe I should change that to "insignificant actor."
Anyway, here is the first of Mr. Chapman's two lines:
Rick, the CEO:
"I'm guessing the word's out."
Mr. Chapman, the CFO:
"Everyone's excited that Forrester's sticking to its original date for the fashion show."
Now, I don't want to seem like some prima donna, but that line just didn't cut it for me. It's not that I consider myself a method actor of the Stanislavsky school of acting, it's just that line didn't seem to me to convey the appropriate level of enthusiasm.
As a result, I made a few subtle, yet, I felt, inspired changes to my line:
Mr. Chapman, the CFO:
"Hey! Everyone's super excited that Forrester's …."
I felt that my added emphasis with the words "Hey" and "super" changed a humdrum throwaway line into something effusive. Suddenly, Chapman wasn't just some automaton. Rather, he had intense passion under his staid and colorless CFO demeanor.
Now, to the second line:
Rick, the CEO:
"We had no choice, Chapman. If we changed the date, other designers would have gotten out in front of us."
Mr. Chapman, the CFO:
"Yeah, and the more chance for a leak."
This last line didn't run in the face of my Stanislavsky method acting sensibilities. Quite the contrary, it ran in the face of my statistical/econometric sensibilities.
No way would I ever say "more chance." The appropriate statistical verbiage is "the greater the probability of a leak." So that would have to be my line. It could not be any other way.
Come taping day several weeks ago, I decided to act out my rewritten lines without telling anyone. I figured the powers that be might not fully understand or appreciate my artistic integrity. Worse, I might be pigeonholed as some sort of Lindsay Lohan outlier instead of a team player.
So I delivered my rewritten lines. No one said a thing. A number of possibilities presented themselves. Perhaps they liked my edits or didn't even notice them. They may have thought it wasn't worth doing a second take. Whatever the reasons, my edited lines made it, as they say in my new profession, "in the can."
But I wasn't done. Remember the adage referred to above about no such thing as small parts? Though I had no more speaking lines, my exit scene meant I was still in front of the camera.
My problem, however, was that Mr. Chapman was being typecast. His, or I guess my, second appearance was basically a repeat of the first. As soon as I spoke the final line regarding statistical probability, just like he did last time, Rick Forrester shuffled me out of the office, so he could carry on a tryst with a quite fetching character by the name of Caroline, a scheming blonde vixen played exceedingly well by Linsey Godfrey.
Caroline was directed to enter Rick's office as I made my exit. While I assume I was expected to do nothing more than leave, I decided to add some flair and perhaps a bit of mystery to the scene.
Just as I passed Caroline, I gave her a look, not just any look but one that conveyed illicit attraction. It must have worked, because Caroline returned the gaze. Someone not blessed with my uncanny powers of perception might interpret Caroline's look at me as puzzlement. I believe, though, that it suggested something more, maybe not intense passion but certainly intrigue or perhaps even fascination with this slightly diminutive but apparently mesmerizing CFO, Mr. Chapman.
To find out for yourselves what that look conveyed you'll have to tune in to B&B on CBS-TV this Thursday at 12:30 p.m. And after you watch it, I'm sure you will want to analyze the scene more carefully and critically. That means going on YouTube as often as possible (preferably on different computers) and watching "Jim Doti's Return Visit as Mr. Chapman on B&B."
If we work together on this, let's say 10,000 YouTube hits, the greater the probability of Chapman's return. When we succeed at this noble quest, Chapman won't return as some insignificant patsy. Rather, he'll be the CFO with panache. I can even write his opening line: "My name's Chapman, James Chapman."

Jose Reyes stepped into the on-deck circle, turned toward the New York Mets' dugout and bowed.
Hard feelings, nowhere to be found.
The Miami Marlins shortstop faced his former team for the first time Thursday, shaking hands and offering hugs before the game with guys donning the orange-and-blue color scheme he used to wear. Reyes signed a $106 million, six-year deal with the Marlins during the offseason after he said the cash-strapped Mets failed to make him a competitive offer.
"Of course, I'm going to miss the fans there in New York because of all the support they gave to me," Reyes said. "I'm going to miss that. But like I say, I have new fans now down here in Miami."
The Marlins wound up winning 3-1.
Reyes got mostly applause as he was introduced, though some boos were mixed in as well. The real reaction from New York will come April 24, when the Marlins are set to play at Citi Field for the first time this season.
"This is nothing," Reyes said. "It's going to really go crazy when I go back to New York. This is spring training. This is just another game."
As reunions go, this was largely uneventful.
Reyes took three practice swings watching R.A. Dickey warm up before the bottom of the first, slapped hands with new Marlins teammate Emilio Bonifacio and made his way into the batters' box. He looked at a 72 mph strike from Dickey, then grounded out to the pitcher on a 77 mph offering one pitch later.
"Knuckleballs," Dickey said. "That's what he was going to get."
In the third, Reyes reached high to snare Justin Turner's sharp liner — his only defensive chance of the game, as he left following a 54-minute rain delay. After Reyes led off the final game of New York's season last Sept. 28 with a bunt single and effectively clinched the NL batting title, he immediately was replaced in the lineup by Turner as some Mets fans booed his departure.
Another departure came a couple months later, when Reyes headed to Miami.
"I started kind of giggling to myself before he stepped in, just looking over there," Dickey said. "You know, it's hard. He's such an exuberant personality, a great guy, a great teammate. ... But when he got in, it was business. He meant it when he got in."
Reyes hasn't yet picked a new home in Miami. He's keeping his New York place for now, and when asked if that still makes him a New Yorker, Reyes flashed his grin and said, "You know it." He keeps in contact with several Mets, third baseman David Wright among them.
For the most part, he's fitting in with Miami perfectly.
Most days when he's not at the spring training facility, Reyes and Hanley Ramirez — who moved to third base to accommodate Reyes' arrival — are playing PlayStation baseball against one other. Reyes prefers playing as the Red Sox, Ramirez plays as the Phillies, since the game won't allow them to play Marlins vs. Marlins.
"I want to win a World Series," Reyes said as he wore a sleeveless Marlins shirt with one of Miami's area codes, 305, in the center. "I think, on this team, I have a better opportunity."
Reyes could have gotten a sense of what Mets fans think of him in a new uniform earlier this spring, but the four-time All-Star and three-time stolen base champion did not travel to his former spring training home in Port St. Lucie, Fla., for either of Miami's two games there in the past week. When the Mets visited the Marlins' split squad on March 7, Reyes was at the team's new downtown Miami ballpark to play Florida International.
"It's all part of the business. It's part of the game," Mets manager Terry Collins said of going up against Reyes, not long before the two embraced and chatted pregame. "And so I don't care if it happens in spring training or it happens during the season. It's going to happen. This is a bigger news story for you guys than it is for me. I'm as interested in watching and seeing how Josh Johnson is than I am Jose Reyes."
Collins surely liked how his team fared against the Marlins' ace.
Jason Bay was 2 for 2 against Johnson, who gave up a run and five hits in three innings. The Mets had three straight hits off Johnson in the first, the last of those being Ike Davis' ground-rule double that scored Turner.
Dickey was perfect through two innings, his outing interrupted by a rain delay that began just before Miami began batting in the third.
The Marlins took the lead in the seventh after a two-run error by the Mets' Adam Loewen. Chris Coghlan and Bryan Petersen hit two-out singles and both scored when Loewen misplayed Donovan Solano's flyball to left.
Collins was ejected in the eighth for arguing a batters' interference call.

LANSING - The Michigan Supreme Court yesterday ruled against two firefighter unions seeking to prevent layoffs in Pontiac and Detroit.
The court ruled 4-3 that an Oakland County judge was wrong to grant an injunction in 2006, stopping Pontiac's plan to lay off 28 of 117 firefighters until their union's unfair labor practice case against the city was resolved.
The Pontiac Fire Fighters Union Local 376 had argued the layoffs would affect the safety of the community and other firefighters by causing delays in response times.
Four justices disagreed, saying Pontiac said the same number of firefighters would be at fire scenes and that the city would add resources to make sure the fire department wasn't burdened with medical runs at the expense of fighting fires.
The firefighters showed no "irreparable harm," Justice Robert Young, Jr., wrote.
He was joined by Chief Justice Clifford Taylor, Maura Corrigan, and Stephen Markman.
The court also ruled 6-1 against Detroit firefighters, saying a Wayne County judge wrongly issued an injunction without resolving the issue of firefighters' safety.
The Detroit Fire Fighters Association sued in 2005 after the city announced layoff plans, including one to lay off 65 firefighters, demote 10 battalion chiefs, and reduce the number of battalions from eight to five.
The Supreme Court sent the case back to a trial judge to figure out the effect of layoffs on safety.

Billboard Magazine says the Bonnaroo Festival in Middle TN is the biggest moneymaker music fest worldwide, according to an article in today's KnoxNews Sentinel. It would never have happened at all without the immense work by Ashley Capps, who truly seems in his element with the show. Fact is, he has done a tremendous job making TN and Knoxville a top destination for excellent live music shows.
Brittney is blogging from the 'Roo, along with many other folks, and I'd expect you'll see she has some fine concert clips and pictures of the event. Such an eclectic mix of musicians and people is gonna make for a fine weekend. (NOTE: Left of the Dial has directions to get a live feed from this year's event.)
No, I missed my chance to be a paid blogger there, too many applicants! There are many I'd like to see, but I have a real yearning to be in the crowd as the legendary Lousiana singer, songwriter, musician and producer Alan Toussaint perfoms during the hot humid middle TN summer. His tune, "Southern Nights" is so good you can feel the heat. (Yes, I know Glen Campbell ruined that tune, but his version is fantastic.) Not to mention "On Your Way Down," "Soul Sister" and many many more.
Live music is one of the best things in life.
On any given day or weekend in Tennessee you can see and hear an astonishing range of music. No bluegrass, no country, no rock and roll would be what it is today without the works of peformers and promoters who have who called Tennessee home. From the soul and blues in Memphis to the country heart of Music City to the bluegrass from East TN, we totally own the right to say we have helped define the American sound.

I think Bonnaroo would be tits if it didn't cost $200+ per ticket. There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing my favorite bands live (and many of my favorites are there this year) but I just cannot afford it. Not to mention paying for gas, food and hippie repellant.
If it weren't so far away, the Austin City Limits festival would be more appealing than Bonnaroo. 3 days of great music, $75+/- per ticket, and kids get in free. Several of the same bands are playing both festivals, too.
