Record amounts of rain dropped on the central Gulf coast Saturday, causing what could be millions of dollars in flood damage in the Pensacola area alone with more rain on the way.
The National Weather Service said 13.11 inches fell on Pensacola over 24 hours by Saturday, coming close to the city's all-time record of 15.29 inches set in 1934.
The rain hit a lull by Saturday night, but NWS meteorologist Jason Beaman said they expected more showers and thunderstorms overnight and more intense rain again on Sunday and into Monday.
The Florida Panhandle's Escambia County declared a state of emergency. Sheriff David Morgan told the Pensacola News Journal that he estimated the damage around the county at around $20 million. The sheriff's department's central booking building was among the buildings flooded.
Emergency shelters were opened at a few local schools for people who were urged to evacuate from low-lying areas, the newspaper reported. Thousands were without power. Neighboring Santa Rosa County had about 40 homes flooded.
Streets were flooded throughout Mobile, Ala., which got 5.79 inches of rain. County authorities warned residents to stay off the roads until the waters receded and workers could look for damage and downed utilities.

The Mac has always been considered a relatively good multimedia machine, although it couldn't quite stand up to the Atari ST's built-in MIDI and the Amiga's excellent video interface. The music software and capabilities of the Mac are now quite good and the video interfacing is getting better all the time. One caveat to this article. We don't use our Mac for video work and thus are not experts or even novices on the subject so take everything with a grain of salt.
Nolan Bushnell of Atari fame attracted a crowd last summer with his MicroTV at the Boston Macworld Expo. MicroTV displayed a small, grainy, grey-scale TV picture in a window on a Mac II. Since then Aapps (Bushnell's company) has introduced DigiVideo ($595) and DigiVideo Color ($995), both of which allow you to view live video and copy video frames to the Clipboard for use in other applications. Apparently, the image quality provided by the DigiVideo boards in 8-bit mode is not as crisp as people are used to from regular televisions, and the picture slows down significantly under 24-bit mode.
Aapps now has competition from several other companies. RasterOps recently introduced its ColorBoard 364, which is identical to its ColorBoard 264 graphics card with the addition of video capabilities. The ColorBoard 364 uses the standard Apple 13" monitor and displays 24-bit color, so it has excellent image quality, although it too can be a bit slow at times. In addition to bringing in live video (although a separate tuner is necessary currently, unlike with Aapps's products), the ColorBoard 364 can interface easily with VCRs, laserdiscs, and S-VHS camcorders and through HyperCard XCMDs can control these external peripherals as well. The price is a bit higher than the DigiVideo boards in keeping with the added quality, but at $1995, the ColorBoard 364 is still reasonable.
Radius's entry in the market is a bit pricier than the RasterOps board and will not work with the Apple 13" color monitor without an additional video card, the $1095 DirectColor GX. Otherwise, the RadiusTV system only works with Radius's $4295 19" Color Display. When you add that to the price of the RadiusTV system at $2795, you get a hefty price in comparison to the RasterOps ColorBoard 364. RadiusTV digitizes video in 16-bit color, so it will presumably be between the DigiVideo boards and the ColorBoard 364. RadiusTV does sport several advantages for the price, though. It digitizes sound and can access information in TV side bands, such as closed captions. In contrast, the DigiVideo boards have an on-board speaker, and it's unclear how the ColorBoard 364 handles sound.
The final two recent entries in the video market are Mass Microsystems's ColorSpace Plus/SE which gives the Plus and SE some of these capabilities for $1995 (no other information, sorry) and VENT Inc.'s $499 Hyper Switcher and $199 Screen Play Software. VENT Inc. is another Bushnell company and its products work with Aapps's. Hyper Switcher can control four video-in channels and two video-out channels . Screen Play Software grabs frames, manipulates them, and outputs them to produce a finished videotape.
Aapps Inc. -- 408/735-8550
RasterOps Corp. -- 408/562-4200
Radius Inc. -- 408/434-1010
Mass Microsystems -- 800/522-7979 -- 408/522-1200
VENT Inc. -- 415/961-3671

CHICAGO (AP) — A federal court ruling means a same-sex Chicago couple will be allowed to marry before the state's gay marriage law takes effect.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin on Monday ordered the Cook County clerk to issue an expedited marriage license to Vernita Gray and Patricia Ewert. Gray is terminally ill.
County Clerk David Orr said he'll comply with the order.
Illinois' gay marriage law takes effect June 1. But the gay rights group Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois filed a lawsuit seeking immediate action for Gray and Ewert. Gray has cancer in her brain and bones.
Camilla Taylor of Lambda Legal says Gray wants to marry the woman she loves before she dies.
Orr notes expedited licenses are granted to heterosexual couples in similar situations.

HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM)- To say that Pearl River Community College's recovery from Hurricane Katrina has been a long road is an understatement, and President Dr. William Lewis was there every step of the way.
"Unfortunately Pearl River Community College was the most devastated of all the community colleges in the state after Katrina. The damages particularly to the poplarville campus was substantial. Many buildings destroyed. We had a lot of devastation here and it has been a long road for recovery," said Lewis.
And the difficulties did not end there. Finding resources to rebuild the campus was a struggle.
"We had an extensive battle with the insurance company to get the kind of settlement that we felt like was reasonable and appropriate, that took four years and since that time we have been negotiating and working with FEMA to try to get the additional funds that we need to rebuild," said Lewis.
Five years later and Pearl River Community College is still experiencing how Hurricane Katrina changed them and that change may be for the better, with construction finally beginning on buildings to replace those that were lost in the storm.
"One a men's housing facility that will be rebuilt and hopefully open this time next year with 114 new beds. Then, our Moody Hall facility which is by the way the oldest instructional building on any two year college campus in the state. Again that is coming out of the ground this week and we're just real excited," said Lewis.
The community college has made great strides towards bouncing back from Katrina, but there is still work to be done.
"The storm did a lot of damage here and we are still struggling with that damage but on the other side of the fence when these building projects and construction projects are completed in the next few years it will give a whole new look to our campus. Give us some resources that we did not have before available to the college and we'll make a real showplace for our institution," said Lewis.
A showplace proving that a road to recovery may be slow at times...but successful.

A judge has ordered a 43-year-old woman to spend four years and three months in federal prison for a southern Illinois bank robbery that earned her the moniker of the "Flip Flop Bandit" for the bright green footwear she wore during the holdup.
Carla Walker of Lebanon was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis. She pleaded guilty in May to one count of bank robbery.
Walker admitted she robbed the First Federal Savings Bank of Lebanon on March 26 after pointing a pellet gun at the bank tellers and insisting other guns were trained on the bank.
Authorities say Walker fled with between $14,000 and $16,000 after ordering the tellers to the ground.

Trepang specimen
Makassar fishermen's journey to Australia
From at least 1700 until 1907, hundreds of fishermen sailed each year from Makasar on the island of Sulawesi, now in Indonesia, to the northern Australian coast. They voyaged to this place they called 'Marege' in search of a valuable delicacy known as trepang — edible sea cucumbers.
Fishermen arrived each December and camped along the Arnhem Land coast, catching, boiling and drying trepang. They met, traded and worked with local Aboriginal people. Then, each April, as the monsoon winds began to blow, the fishermen returned to Makassar with the holds of their boats carrying trepang to be traded north to China.
Trepang include several species of the class Holothuroidea. They live mostly in tropical waters and are usually 10 to 50 centimetres long, although some grow to more than a metre.

Baler shell
Indigenous journeys of exchange
For thousands of years the Indigenous people of northern Australia traded shells, ochre, feathers and other materials with their neighbours on the continent and beyond it.
Baler shell was collected in the Gulf of Carpenteria in Australia's north and traded south and west across Australia. With each exchange the value increased. On the coast, shells were used for water carriers and scrapers. In Central Australia they became sacred and ceremonial objects.
This exchange connected Aboriginal people in Australia's north to others in Central Australia and as far south as the present-day Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
This baler shell, cut through the whorl section, is from the early 1900s.
Captain James Cook's magnifier
Navigating the Pacific
This tortoiseshell magnifier was used by British naval officer Captain James Cook, probably to look closely at maps or specimens.
Cook sailed to the Pacific three times in the 1770s, charting and claiming places previously unknown to Europeans, including the east coast of Australia.
The magnifier came into the possession of astronomer William Bayly on Cook's last voyage. Bayly sailed twice with Cook, taking observations that would assist British navigators to establish their longitude.
Despite what the inscription says on its elaborate silver case, the magnifier may not have been a gift. After Cook was killed in Hawaii in 1779, his possessions were auctioned 'before the mast' and Bayly may have bought the memento then. This was a common way of raising money for a dead sailor's family.

Thomas Lock's convict token
A convict's token of remembrance
Some 160,000 convicts were sent to the Australian colonies from 1788 to 1868.
One of those convicts was Thomas Lock. He was convicted of highway robbery and sentenced to 10 years' transportation to New South Wales.
Before Lock left England, as he waited in prison for his sentence to be carried out, he used a penny to make a token of remembrance to leave behind. The inscription reads:
ME WHEN / I AM FAR / FROM the[e] /
THOMAS / LOCK / AGED 22 / TRANSPed /
10 Years
Lock gave this memento to a loved one when he sailed for Australia. He arrived in Sydney in September 1845. It is not known if he ever returned to England.

Gold washing cradle
Discovery of gold in New South Wales
Edward Hammond Hargraves is credited with the discovery of gold at Ophir in Australia in 1851.
He returned to Australia from the Californian goldfields determined to find gold in New South Wales. In Bathurst local men John Lister and William, James and Henry Tom showed Hargraves sites where they had found gold specks.
Using a cradle similar to those Hargraves had seen in California, the men washed the first payable gold, and started the gold rush in Australia.
This cradle, collected in the Ballarat area of Victoria, is one of thousands of cradles used by miners to extract surface alluvial gold from sites across Australia in the mid-19th century.
Made of Douglas fir imported to Australia or recycled from packing crates or other objects, the cradle has handmade metal nails and corner fixtures.
Welsh hymnal
Preserving the Welsh language in Australia
The 1850s gold rush drew thousands of Welsh immigrants to Victoria. A Welsh chapel was built in La Trobe Street, Melbourne, in 1857. A church was erected on the same site in 1871.
At the Welsh Church, settlers and sojourners from Wales could sing and worship in Welsh — for most their first language. Presbyterian services in the Welsh language continue there to this day.
This Welsh hymnal from 1869 was used in the Melbourne Welsh Church. An organ which accompanied services at the church from the 1880s to the 1930s is also on show in the Australian Journeys gallery.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — President Barack Obama is appearing in a new TV ad, urging Connecticut voters to support Democratic U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy for the U.S. Senate.
The commercial is scheduled to begin airing Saturday. The Associated Press first obtained a copy on Friday.
A national Democratic Party official confirmed it's the first ad where Obama has made a direct appeal on behalf of a Democratic Senate candidate.
Obama looks directly into the camera and says he knows Murphy and credits him with having "a real record of job creation" and "a jobs plan that puts the middle class first." Murphy's Republican opponent, Linda McMahon, has accused Murphy of not having a jobs plan.
Obama credited Murphy with supporting women's health issues and said he needs him "as a partner" in the Senate.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — City residents, less than a year after legalizing marijuana, are going to the polls again to settle a squabble over a half-acre park that evolved into a much larger debate over the future of the city's public parks.
The ballot issue would add 35 open spaces to the city's list of protected lands and make it more difficult to sell them. Among the spaces is Congress Square Plaza, a small patch of trees, red bricks and concrete in a busy commercial section of downtown Portland, most of which the city wants to sell to an Ohio-based hotel owner.
It's one of several closely watched local elections Tuesday. Also on the ballot are hotly contested primaries in the race for an open seat in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, which Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud is vacating to run for governor.
Supporters say the parks vote is a referendum on Portland's commitment to public spaces, with some backers saying failure could imperil other open spaces in an increasingly congested city.
"What we're fighting over now is not that half-acre of public park," said Bree LaCasse, a campaigner for the referendum's passage. "It's naive to think there won't be pressures on any other parks."
Opponents of the measure, including business leaders, say reneging on the sale of property to the owner of the Westin Portland Harborview Hotel would discourage investment in the city.
"This referendum is about one thing — Congress Square Plaza," said Chris Hall, chief of the Portland Regional Chamber. "We've got a failed urban space at the heart of the city."
Supporters and opponents have dotted Portland with signs expressing both perspectives on the referendum. It's the latest in a long line of causes to take root in Portland, a city of 66,000 residents that has been a hotbed for activism in recent years on issues such as marijuana legalization, gay rights and same-sex marriage and the rights of homeless people.
Portland has many parks that date to the 19th century. Congress Square Plaza housed a coffee shop frequented by drug dealers and prostitutes before federal money helped it become a park in the 1980s. It retains its reputation as an underutilized space.
The City Council voted in September to sell two-thirds of Congress Square Plaza to Columbus, Ohio-based Rockbridge Capital for $523,640. Rockbridge, which owns Harborview Hotel, plans to build a one-story event center on the site. The remainder would be renovated as park space.
If passed, the referendum would require at least eight of nine City Council members to approve selling any property on the city's land bank list. Properties also could be sold if six councilors approved the sale, provided the proposal receives public support in a municipal election. The new rules would make the land bank list grow from 25 to 60 properties and would apply retroactively to Congress Square Plaza.
"This is one of the more rigorous referendums I've seen in Portland in a long time," supporter John Eder said.
Rejection of the referendum, he said, could "bring an end to the enlightened era of parks."
Jim Cohen, a former Portland mayor and opponent of the referendum, said he also sees the vote as about more than a small park — he believes it's about the city's economic health.
"We don't want to be the kind of city where investment becomes dangerous," Cohen said.

2013 was an active year for the Ottawa Branch OGS Library. We added over 300 new titles to our collection. We were fortunate to receive donations from several people, including Robert Campbell, Dorothy Relyea, Don Pounder and Wade and Maureen Lennox. Those volumes that were donated but did not fit with our collection policy were still valuable to us. If appropriate, we shared them with our BIFHSGO and UEL colleagues or sold them at our Library table during our monthly OBOGS meetings for members for a nominal donation. Some we also sold to dealers. The money raised in this manner was used to purchase more relevant material for our collection or to off-set the cost of supplies.
2014 promises to be just as busy and we have already logged the following books to the library:
- A Thousand Kin: The Bolgers of Shamrock, Ontario which was donated to us by the BIFHSGO library as it did not fit their collection as readily as it did ours.
This indexed family history covers seven generations of Bolgers that have lived in North America, stemming from one set of Irish parents, native to County Wexford, Ireland and who had been transplanted to Renfrew County, Ontario.
- The Ottawa Sharpshooters: The Story of the Company and the men who served during the North West Rebellion, incorporating the Diary of Captain A. Hamlyn Todd
In late March 1885, in reaction to proclamation of a Provisional Government by Louis Riel, thousands of volunteer militia soldiers set off for North West Canada to suppress the rebellion. This is the story of the Ottawa Company of Sharpshooters and the 53 men who served in the Company.
The story of the Company's service during 1885 is told. Then, through original research, the diverse and sometimes strange histories of the men who served are revealed. You will encounter Canada's most famous racehorse, Northern Dancer; Impersonator Rich Little; Alice in Wonderland; a Senator who fell out of a train and much more.
Transcripts of letters by Sharpshooter Herbert M. Jarvis and the Field Diary of Captain A. Hamlyn Todd, never before published, complete the picture.
This tribute was researched, compiled and published by members of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa from local sources supplemented with information from Sharpshooter descendants and relatives. It honours the Company and the men on the 120th anniversary of the Rebellion.
- To be continued…
The Historical Society of Ottawa was formed in 1898 and is thought to be the oldest such group in Ottawa. The contents of this signed book includes: A Good Beginning; A New Home; A Broader, Stronger Society; Doing the Colonel Proud; A remarkable Milestone; and A Society at the Crossroads.
As well, we purchased eight CDs:
- A Rideau Jaunt in 1872 or a Sketch of the Rideau Navigation from Ottawa to Kingston, Ontario
On a July Thursday in 1872, William Mills, a Civil Servant took a couple of days off work to make a jaunt down the Rideau Canal from his home city of Ottawa to the busy St. Lawrence port of Kingston. He took his note book with him so that he could record the memorable events and sights of his journey, much in the manner that we would take a camera with us today. The resulting book is extremely interesting.
- Hudson Bay: or Everyday life in the Wilds of North America
Here is a narrative of firsthand experience in the service of the Hudson Bay Company during the 1840s.
- History of the Ottawa Valley (first published in 1986 by J.L. Gourlay)
Sub titled "A collection of facts, events and reminiscences for over half a century" this rare book is actually two separate and distinct books within one cover. The second book is titled "The difficulties of religion.
- Ottawa & Kingston City Directory – 1875
Far more than just the cities of Ottawa and Kingston, this directory covers most of the (in 1875) significant communities in Ontario lying North and East of Kingston, including Almonte, Arnprior, Barriefield, Brockville, Bryson, Carleton Place, Cornwall, Edwardsburg (now Cardinal?), Gananoque, Garden Island (Nr. Wolf Isl.), Iroquois, Kemptville, Kingston, Landsdowne (now Lansdowne), Lyn, Mallorytown, Merrickville, Morrisburg, New Edinburgh (now part of Ottawa), Ottawa, Pakenham, Pembroke, Perth, Portsmouth (now part of Kingston), Prescott, Renfrew, Richmond, Rochesterville (was part of Nepean Township), Sand Point, Smith's Falls, Westport, & Wolf Island. Also included are the Quebec communities lying along the North shore of the Ottawa River including Aylmer, Buckingham, Gatineau Point, Hull, Peche, Portage du Fort, & Shawville.
- The Gazetteer & Classified Business Directory of Canada including Newfoundland – 1930
This is a wonderful book with a truly misleading title. Of the almost 2000 pages in this book the gazetteer takes up 70 while the rest are devoted to a wonderfully complete directory of Canadian businesses and professional people and their advertising. This is a great resource in a country where early directories are so scarce. Both the gazetteer and the Business Directory are indexed by Province but the Business Directory is also sub-indexed by trade or profession.
- The Might Directory of Ottawa, Hull and 7 Suburbs – 1926
A very complete and useful directory of Ottawa and Hull for 1926 (which was the year Ottawa celebrated its centennial) and also including the (then) outlying districts.
- The Ottawa City Directory – 1909
A very complete and useful directory of Ottawa and Hull for 1909, including the (then) outlying districts of OTTAWA including Billings Bridge; Eastview (Old Cummings Bridge, Janeville [Vanier] & Clarkstown); Mechanicsville; and Rockliffe Park.
The directory gives an alphabetical list of all business firms and private citizens.
- Ottawa City Directory 1861-1862
Here is an early directory of Ottawa/Bytown published by Boyd & McDonald. It advertises itself as containing, "..the names and residence of the Citizens; also, a subscribers Business Directory, classified according to trade." Examination seems to indicate that it also contains the names and addresses of business who were not "subscribers."

Expressionist artist Franz Marc was born on 8 February 1880 in Munich to a landscape painter father and a strict Protestant mother. When he was 20, Marc enrolled himself at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich where he studied under established academic artists Gabriel von Hackl and Wilhelm von Diez.
During brief sojourns spent in Paris in 1903 and 1907, Marc visited museums and studied the techniques of paintings by the old masters, but also discovered an affinity for the work of Vincent van Gogh. While in Paris, Marc fell in with the citys bohemian crowd, meeting numerous artistes, including actress Sarah Bernhardt. In 1910, the German artist formed a pivotal friendship with artist August Macke which led to the founding of the infamous Blue Rider group alongside Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Munter.
After showing at the first Blue Rider exhibition in the Thannhauser Galleries in Munich in 1911, Franz Marc met Robert Delaunay, whose use of colour became a major influence on Marc's paintings. Inspired by futurism and cubism, Marc's painting depicts nature in a stark, abstract form. In his lifetime, Marc made over 60 woodcut and lithographic prints and over 130 paintings of animals and nature characterised by bold colours. A profound sense of emotion is symbolized in the colours that Marc depicted blue symbolizes masculinity and spirituality, whereas yellow represents feminine joy, while red represents the sound of violence. His most famous painting, Tirol or Tierschicksale (Animal Destinies) completed in 1914, served as a premonition of World War I.
After mobilization of the German army, the government identified notable artists to be exempted from combat to protect them. Marc was on this list, but before orders for reassignment could reach him, the unfortunate artist was struck in the head by a shell splinter while serving in the army, killing him instantly on 4 March 1916.

SEMI Award for North America Given to Thomas DiStefano, John W. Smith, Jr. and Michael Warner for Chip Scale Packaging Technology
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. – January 11, 2011 – SEMI today named Thomas DiStefano, John W. Smith, Jr. and Michael Warner as recipients of the 2010 SEMI Award for North America for contributions to the development and commercialization of Micro Ball Grid Array (μBGA® ) technology. This advancement led to many forms of semiconductor chip scale packaging that enabled cost effective miniaturization. It has had a significant impact on the proliferation of products with smaller form factors, such as handheld phones, cameras, games and other electronics that have since become common. The SEMI Award for North America is the association's highest honor for technical contribution to the semiconductor industry. The industry awards will be presented during a banquet at the 2011 SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) in Half Moon Bay, California this evening.
"Our industry honors Tom DiStefano, John Smith and Michael Warner for their combined efforts to commercialize Micro Ball Grid Array technology while at Tessera Technologies," said Stanley T. Myers, president and CEO of SEMI. "This critical packaging technology was an important development in the proliferation of smaller personal electronic devices that have spurred the market for semiconductor devices."
Dr. DiStefano was the founding president of Tessera Technologies and a co-founder of ChipScale Review. DiStefano helped to build Tessera into a world leader in miniaturized packaging. Royalties from U.S. Patents coauthored by DiStefano produced well above $1 billion revenue for Tessera. John W. Smith, Jr. joined Tessera in 1992 as its CEO where he served until his retirement in 2000. Michael Warner, a Tessera Fellow, joined the company in 1994 as the vice president responsible for developing products employing µBGAsolutions for commercial applications.
"The introduction of chip scale packaging by Tessera enabled a decrease in package size and an increase in package frequency while reducing the total power required," said Bill Bottoms, chairman of the SEMI Award Advisory Committee. "This innovation is now the packaging solution of choice for most memory devices and a significant number of logic devices. It was initially adapted to meet performance requirements and the high-volume commercialization led to its widespread adoption as a lower-cost packaging alternative."
The SEMI Award was established in 1979 to recognize outstanding technical achievement and meritorious contribution in the areas of Semiconductor Materials, Wafer Fabrication, Assembly and Packaging, Process Control, Test and Inspection, Robotics and Automation, Quality Enhancement, and Process Integration.
The award is the highest honor conferred by SEMI. It is open to individuals or teams from industry or academia whose specific accomplishments have broad commercial impact and widespread technical significance for the entire semiconductor industry. Nominations are accepted from individuals of North American-based member companies of SEMI. Past award recipients include Walter Benzing and Mike McNealy, Ken Levy, Jean Hoerni, Dan Maydan, Robert Akins and Igor Khandros, among others.

WASHINGTON (AP) — So what's the first thing you'd do for the economy if you were president?
The Associated Press posed that question to more than a dozen leading economists. Asked to name the one step they'd push most urgently if they were the newly re-elected President Barack Obama, the economists sounded a few common themes:
Reduce the budget deficit. Cut tax rates. Do both, somehow.
Above all: Sidestep the "fiscal cliff." That's the package of tax increases and deep spending cuts that will take effect in January unless Congress reaches a budget deal by then. The resulting crisis could tip the U.S. economy back into recession next year.
Another popular recommendation is to embrace the bipartisan deficit-reduction plan backed by former Sen. Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, a former White House chief of staff. The two men, co-chairmen of a deficit-reduction commission, recommended roughly $1 in tax increases for every $3 in spending cuts.
Here are suggestions from the economists the AP surveyed:
"Strongly endorse the Simpson-Bowles plan as a template for deficit reduction. It is a sensible plan for reducing the deficit without shocking the economy."
— Ethan Harris, economist, Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"Introduce an 8 percent federal sales tax, eliminate all deductions and use the extra revenue to reduce corporate tax rates and marginal income tax rates for those making less than $100,000 per year."
— Paul Ashworth, chief US economist, Capital Economics.
"Develop a credible bipartisan deficit-reduction plan that can be passed."
— Diane Swonk, chief economist, Mesirow Financial.
To lay the groundwork for another economic stimulus package, "I would explain to the public how the collapse of the housing bubble left a huge gap in demand that can only be filled by a government deficit, at least in the short term. The public has to understand that, just as was the case in the Great Depression, when the economy collapses the government must expand to sustain demand."
— Dean Baker, economist, Center for Economic Policy and Research.
"The economy needs pro-growth tax reform. That is the single most important action. As low a marginal tax rate as possible on the broadest tax rate possible."
— John Ryding, economist, RDQ Economics.
"I assume that abolishing Congress is not an option. ... Job 1 would be the passage of a long-term Simpson-Bowles-type program."
— Joel Naroff, president, Naroff Economic Advisors.
"Repeal the (Obama health care law). ... The Act has raised policy uncertainty in the economy and has companies already working on maneuvers to avoid having to provide health insurance - limiting the number of employees and/or reducing hours below full time. Thus the Act will slow job creation and worsen an already disheartening underemployment problem."
— Sean Snaith, economics professor, University of Central Florida.
"Bulldoze the fiscal cliff down to a manageable size. Make the current income tax rate permanent for all rates 33 percent or lower and raise the top tax rate to 38 percent for 2013. Increase capital gains and the maximum dividend tax rate to 20 percent for 2013. ... Cut $50 billion in spending in 2013.
— Stuart Hoffman, chief economist, PNC Financial.
"Immediately negotiate a grand bargain with Congress that scales back the fiscal cliff, increases the Treasury debt ceiling and lays out a credible deficit reduction plan resulting in a falling debt-to-GDP ratio by the end of the decade. Such a deal would buoy confidence, jump-starting stronger investment and hiring. ... The only missing ingredient for a stronger economy is clarity on how we will address our fiscal problems."
— Mark Zandi, chief economist, Moody's Analytics.
"I would do everything in my power to extend the Bush tax cuts for the foreseeable future. The payroll tax will be going back to 6.2 percent in January. This alone will pull more than $120 billion out of disposable income and depress consumer spending. The Medicare tax is going up ... and it will be imposed on wages and salaries and investment income. To let the Bush tax cuts expire in this environment would threaten the fragile recovery and possibly push the economy into another recession."
— Albert Niemi, Dean of Cox School of Business, Southern Methodist University.
"I'd cut tax rates and get rid of deductions."
— William Dunkelberg, chief economist, National Federation of Independent Business.

STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A prosecutor suggested Tuesday that a philandering Pennsylvania pastor killed both of his wives because he was unhappy with his sex life, but the former clergyman's attorney said that his client's adultery doesn't make him a murderer.
Monroe County prosecutor Michael Mancuso told a jury in the Poconos that Arthur "A.B." Schirmer, 64, repeatedly hit his second wife in the head with a heavy metal object in 2008, then staged a car accident in a bid to cover it up. He said the plot unraveled a few months later when a member of the congregation committed suicide in the church office after learning that Schirmer was in a relationship with the congregant's wife, the church secretary.
Emails and other evidence pulled from Schirmer's computers indicate the former Methodist pastor's marriage to Betty Schirmer was "very, very troubled," Mancuso said, telling jurors about one email in which the pastor complained his menopausal wife had lost "all interest in sex," and that they hadn't been together sexually in two years.
The retired pastor is charged separately in Lebanon County with killing his first wife, Jewel Schirmer, in 1999. Mancuso told the jury about that case, too, saying there are similarities in how the women were killed and that Schirmer had cheated on Jewel, too.
Schirmer has pleaded innocent in both cases.
His attorney, Brandon Reish, acknowledged his client's philandering ways, including the fact that Schirmer had a sexual encounter with a longtime mistress just weeks after his wife's death. But he said in his opening statement that just because Schirmer cheated on his wives doesn't mean he killed them.
"You can't take bad behavior, bad science and church gossip and turn them into a murder, let alone two," Reish said.
The trial is expected to focus in part on the car crash that Schirmer blames for his wife's death.
Schirmer told investigators he was driving his wife to the hospital at 1:50 a.m. on July 15, 2008, so she could be treated for a jaw pain disorder called TMJ. He told police a deer crossed their path, causing him to lose control of their PT Cruiser. A.B. Schirmer was unhurt in the crash and there was minimal damage to the car, but his wife, who he said wasn't wearing a seat belt, suffered multiple skull and facial fractures and died at the hospital.
Mancuso said police reopened their investigation into the crash after the suicide in Schirmer's office at Reeders United Methodist Church. He said accident reconstruction and medical experts concluded that Schirmer was only driving between 18-22 mph when he hit the guard rail, not 55 as he had initially claimed, and that Betty Schirmer's extensive injuries could not have been caused by the crash.
The crash "was not only survivable," said Mancuso, "she should have walked away."
Police also found the victim's blood in the garage of the church parsonage, along with evidence that someone had tried to clean it up, Mancuso said.
Two of the first prosecution witnesses were emergency medical personnel who testified about the bloody car-crash scene. Paramedic Margo Warner said that with the car so lightly damaged, she never expected to find a patient with the kind of severe head and brain trauma suffered by Betty Schirmer.
"I'm looking around the inside of the car for what did this," Warner said.
She said she didn't find a good answer.

I came across bentos awhile ago back when I read Shojo Beat. I then stumbled across this website through Google Reader, and became obsessed with bentos!
I discovered bentos when the company I formerly worked for produces a "baby bento," essentially a tupperware type container for baby food that included a divider and a snap on lid. While researching, I fell in love!
Welp, my girlfriend linked me here. Damn does she want a bento box. She will not sleep until she wins this competition. No, really. This is a matter of life and death.
Also, how I discovered bento as a whole was during my visit to Japan a couple of years ago.
I found Just Bento when my friend linked me the page. You see, her girlfriend really wants this bento giveaway.
But I want it more. I want it with a fiery, all-consuming passion. I want to make rabbit shaped onigiri to fill my new bento. I want to go to the Boston museum of art and wave this bento around, then send pictures to my friend's miserable girlfriend. Every day for a year I'll send her a picture of me and my new bento friend, rocking out, making the world a better place.
This bento will change my life, and my friend's girl will be the loneliest person to ever live. Ever.
I discovered Bento while googling for some fast dinner ideas. I came across Biggie's site at Need for Speed and the rest is history!
I discovered bento from a parenting message board I frequent, and I am a happy convert! What a cute set!
I first saw bentos in an anime I watched and then a Japanese movie . . . and then I knew I must have a set to make my lunch in!
another blog, but then found just bento which has more useful info and more frequent posts. thx!
Googlereader staff picks introduced me to this site, which introduced me to bentos! Love.
I had seen bento lunches in anime and when I had to start cooking for myself I decided it would be a good way to plan my meals (at least lunch). I have really enjoyed making my bento lunches and it makes me excited to eat at lunch.
I learned about bento after having gastric bypass surgery. I was looking for recipes for smaller sized meals that weren't boring and discovered bento.
You are gonna laugh...I am pretty sure it was Pet Society on Facebook. They had mystery bento boxes for their Japanese theme week, so I looked it up to see exactly what they were AND I WAS HOOKED!!! What is funny, I don't even play Pet Society anymore. Thanks for the giveaway and your inspiration :]
I discovered bento from various anime, and became interested in it because of all the adorable things you could create with food. then when I realized how it's such a good tool for keeping track of healthy eating, I became obsessed. bento is awesome!
I learned about bentos while trying to figure out how to encourage my toddler to try new foods. We started with muffin tin meals at home with success so now I'm moving on to bentos for him to bring to school.
My husband traveled to Japan four years ago and brought one home for our daughter. It was all over after that moment. Thank goodness I got a lot of research in before his second trip back, bentos are very hard to find in Colorado!
I came across Bento's via the wonderful Just Bento. These Bento boxes are really cute! Hope I get lucky!!
I've grown up knowing about bentos, me being part of an Asian family, but I've never made my own before. Upon discovering this website through a network of other food blogs I follow, I'm more than inspired to begin making my own!
I can't exactly remember how I discovered bentos as I have known about it for a while. I have always and continue to pack lunches for my boys and hubby. I now put in a little more effort to make the lunches more appealing with easily available bento gear and ideas from blog like yours.
I found bentos by accident while browsing blogs on day. I thought they were interesting and decided to check them out. I have been hooked ever since! =)
I used to read a lot of shoujo manga - I think the first one I ever read (and where bento shows up) is Fruits Basket. Until a few months ago, all I knew about them was that they were Japanese lunches, usually with rice, packed in a box. It wasn't until I found this site through Google Reader that I started to understand the full depth and meaning of what a bento is.
I've made a few lately in tupperware, but it would be nice to have a small box. :D
I first found out about bento's when I stumbled upon a website called Jbox.com. I was looking through their item selection when came across a cute little lunch box called a bento and it had a picture of all the food neatly placed inside I immediately said "OHMIGOSH... is all of that edible? I HAVE to HAVE IT!!!" I was literally obsessed after that and I found hundreds of adorable bento pictures and recipe sites. Including one justbento.com. Since then I have bought a few very rewarding bento's and I hope to make my collection even bigger.
I was first introduced to bento through an anime called Bamboo Blade. After seeing it in countless more amines, each ridiculously adorable and unique, I quickly became obssessed with creating them,lol! Yours was the first real life bento site I visited, and I have been trying my hand in bento and following your site for almost a year now. I love it, and it makes my friends jealous! :D
Such a cute box! My Mr. Bento is quite functional, but I do get tired of the grey metallic look sometimes..... I love your sites--I used your chijimi recipe this afternoon to use up some of my farmer's market nira!
Hello! This is a very cute bento box and 400 ml sounds like a great size since i have a smaller one too. Well, i discovered bento growing up because i was born in Japan, but I am not Japanese :P I speak Japanese and eat Japanese and visit Japan so in soul I am Japanese?? Well the point is I discovered bentos from my mom (well she never made me any she just told me aha...) and surrounding family :) I have started to make bentos this year in order to take my mom's yummy food to lunch and so that I don't have to keep eating sandwiches. When I discovered this website I was thrilled. All the tips and articles stimulate my bento creativity!
I discovered bentos from growing up watching anime and reading manga. I happened to find this site through a suggestion in Google Reader, and now I am hooked.
I actually discovered Bento here. I got into cooking Japanese food in high school when a friend took me to this wonderfull tiny place tucked away in a nearby town and made me try my first real bowl of Ramen. I love to cook so I continued to experiment on my own for a long time. One of the first places I went when I got my first car was Mitsuwa Marketplace. My boyfriend, now husband, recomended I look into finding real recipies online to supplement my attempts to recreate stuff from resturants and cookbooks. So, I stumbled onto Just Hungry, which led me to Just Bento and I haven't packed a brown bag lunch since. :)
A friend of mine got my a My Neighbor Totoro bento box for my birthday and I decided I should probably figure out how to fill it up!
I found bento by independant discovery... when I was in 9th grade (haha more than a decade ago T___T) I found this badtz maru bento box at the Navy Exchange (I was a military kid) and I had this great idea to fill it with my favorite food of the time - Goya Primavera Rice (a flavored rice with vegetable bits). I used the hell out of that thing. I suppose the first time I really saw it as something Japanese was near the end of high school (in a different school) when my Japanese friends and teacher commented on my lunch boxes and their contents (by then rice and vegetables boiled in soy sauce was my thing). Up until then I had always just thought of it as a homemade lunch and still don't see it as any different. Then again, the foods I packed were the foods I ate and the foods I grew up eating. Pretty bento are a whole different story though... I have a sister seven years younger than me... I learned about decoben and charaben in effort to get her to not skip lunch.
I was in the Marine Corp and always wanted to go to Japan so I requested my next duty station to be Okinawa, Japan. I feel in love with the culture and the people. I rented an apartment and bought a car so I could live off base to be fully immersed in the lifestyle. I learned to speak, read and write Japanese with the help of my Okinawan friends. I lived there for 4 years and did not want to come home. I often think of that time in my life and almost 30 years later I still speak Japanese and try to eat like I did back then and it is the bentos that I really miss. Those little roadside vendors selling the most wonderful food.
I found a recipe for a salmon salad bento in a cooking magazine, using olive oil instead of mayo to hold the salad together. The recipe also included crackers for eating the salmon salad and some fresh cut veggies and fruit. Now I love trying new bento recipes because they encourage a balanced lunch with fruits and veggies. The next one I'm sure my husband will love is the bacon wrapped tofu! Thanks for your wonderful blog and archive of recipes.
I discovered bentos because of my Japanese friend at school. She brought them to lunch every day and shared them with me. It was delicious. I love Japanese food so I looked up how to make my own bento and found this site! Now I'm really addicted to making them...
I don't honestly remember how I became aware of bentos, but I'm sure it was online. ^_^
Thanks Maki, what fun this is!!
I got into Bentos when I was living overseas and needed to begin bringing inexpensive lunches for myself and the soldier to an office environment. And I didn't want to be stuck at my desk crunching a paper bag filled with a PB+J. I found JustBento fairly early on and have been following ever since!
Hope you're feeling better!
I discovered Google Reader and started searching for cooking feeds. I came across JustBento and have been following ever since. I have found other Bento feeds but none were as helpful, especially because I make bentos for my toddler.
I discovered Bento through watching anime! I'm not sure which one but I did love onigiri because of Fruits Basket!
i became aware of bentou boxes when i started reading manga and watching anime at the age of 6 or 7. i then bought my first bentou box at kinokuniya in NYC. i use it a lott and always have something amazing to make. i love bentou boxes!! they're so cute and practical.
I loved the idea of bento from the first time I saw it, alllll the way back in Junior High when I saw Makoto's cute bento lunches in Sailor Moon. (I know, it's a little corny.) Once I graduated from college, got an office job, and my behind expanded to fit the chair, I started watching portions. Bento seemed a very logical way to do it, since I was paying close attention to what I was packing anyway. It worked great, I lost 40 lb, and I just kept the tradition going. Now I pack for my husband too, and he loves it! (He's definitely a tamagoyaki addict.)
I'm a looooong time lurker here. Maki's recipes are solid gold. Every single one I've tried has been a huge hit. I await my cookbook with breathless anticipation. :3

I discovered bentos when I was researching interesting lunch ideas about 1 1/2 years ago. I've never looked back! I love making AND eating them!
I discovered the world of bento while looking online, trying to find a way to get my daughter more interested in her food. It worked! Having an appealing display of food not only makes her less picky about her food in general, she is also more willing to eat healthy.
I knew about bentos from anime and manga, but didn't really understand them until I found your site. Now I make myself a bento every day for my lunch and have even gotten my boyfriend to make bentos. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes and bentos!
Those boxes are adorable! I'm so excited they ship to the U.S.! I must bookmark the page.
I heard about bentos while studying Japanese language and culture in college, but I didn't get the full picture until I moved to Japan for a year and a half. I was teaching English and part of the job was to teach in public schools. I needed to make my own lunch due to food allergies (and I didn't want the school to feel they need to make their school lunches around me). I was trying to learn about the culture as much as possible and wanted to try and fit in, so I began researching bento boxes in order to make a decent Japanese style lunch (which is how I came across this site). It was lots of fun. Now that I'm back in the U.S., I want to continue using bentos to balance my meals.
I first learned of bento's existence while watching anime as a kid, but I didn't really "discover" it until I spent a month in Yokosuka and saw how it's used for real-life, every day food. I bought a small box for each of my siblings as a souvenir. :-)
I don't have a lot of time to pack/prepare bento boxes, but eventually I'll get there.
The first time I really learned about bentos was when I did a google search for recipes. I love to cook, and asian food is my favorite. I eventually stumbled upon this gem of a website and have been making bentos on and off for a while now.
elusive anime bento shots!
i must have been eleven or so, it was definitely one of makotos elaborate bento boxes in "sailor moon" that caught my attention. breaded shrimp in school lunch boxes? i was intrigued! unidentifiable colourfull things? i wanted to try all that stuff so badly! i remember tamagoyaki being pictured, but it took me something like 15 years to figure out what these yellow round spiraly things were supposed to be.
I "discovered" bento when my son started daycare where lunch was not provided. Growing up in Korea, my mom always packed by lunch for me bento-style so it wasn't completely new, but it was interesting to adapt American food into it!
This is soo cute
I am getting into the Brnto Idea for health would love some boxes to work with
In the spring of 2009, our local newspaper ran a story on packing bento-style lunches. Your site was referenced in the article, and I've been a fan ever since! Can't wait for the new cookbook!
I've always been a big fan of anime/manga/jdramas and I kind of picked it up from there. But it wasn't until I really started getting into Japanese cooking that I really realized bento existed. I was looking for recipes and I kind of just stumbled upon bento pictures.
I LOVE the Bento concept and have been searching for one that has both hot and cold containers. They are so much better than disposable bags! I googled them and found this website.
Although I'd bumped up against Bento Boxes at a schwanky spa a few years ago, I'd say that it was my very wise and wonderful friend Catherine that actually introduced me to Bentos! She's a savvy eater - health and portion-wise, and always clues me in to the best ways to satisfy my hunger, health, and aesthetic needs. Bento boxes are the perfect answer to a healthy, interesting, and fun-to-eat lunch! She's great - and so are bentos!

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The aid group Doctors Without Borders says that two of its workers kidnapped by Somali militants from a Kenyan refugee camp in October 2011 have been released.
Doctors Without Borders said Thursday that the two Spanish women — Montserrat Serra and Blanca Thiebaut — are both safe and healthy and are eager to join loved ones.
The group thanked those involved with securing the women's release but did not specify who that was.
Somali militants entered the world's largest refugee camp — Dadaab, in eastern Kenya — in October 2011 and took the two women after shooting and wounding their Kenyan driver. The attack was the third kidnapping of Europeans in Kenya in six weeks and was one of the reasons Kenya gave for sending troops into Somalia days later.

You guys, I have an addiction. I'm addicted to puns. I need them. I can't get enough of them. I HUNGER FOR THEM. That's why I've set up this weekly blog feature: so you guys can feed my addiction. Every week, I'll name the topic, give you some examples, and then you'll pun away in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter. I'll choose the best ones and post them here next week. Sound good? Good! Let's do it!
THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Flower Reviews
This week's pun topic is a little bit different. We're looking for flower reviews. No, we don't you to rate flowers. We want one line reviews, with flower puns in them. Not sure what we're talking about? Well, we're not too sure either. But anyway, some examples:
Kinda weird, right? Whatever. Post yours in the comments and I'll pick me faves next week (imagine that in an Irish accent).
Last Week's Winner(States of Mind): North Dakomatose from Jillian Derscheid on Facebook.
Other Favorites: Blississippi from andrewtl, and Pensiveania from barkwoot.

"Christianthemums will go. ... We're more popular than Freesias right now."
Holly-lujah. Ivy finally got it working. It was Parsely my fault it took so long, I didnt read the instructions. It kept rebooting, making me Madder and Madder. It must have been pretty Poplar though, it was out of stock when I tried to return it. Thistle be my last comment, everything is Rosy now. Thank Yew for the help.
"It was more than silly - it was ranunculus."
"With that voice, who knows how many daisy has left as a singer."
"Everyone's lunch rose."
"The screenplay transported me to another world. Truly they were words of paradise"
"The casting was downright orchidiotic."
"The whole movie was a huge violet-down."
"This summer blockbuster can only be described as Rhododendreadful."
Watching that play was a bitterroot to swallow...
I've got one word for that play..."Yucca"

Thistle do nicely. (That's a pun, acacia didn't know.)
To paraphrase the late, great Roger Ebert's review of Good Luck Chuck:
There is one word for this movie: hyac-ick.
"If you want me just whistle. You know how to whistle don't you? Just put your tulips together and blow."
A lonely bloomin' onion in a petunia patch
The garden has been royal flushed.
The script was so poor you would have thought the writers were hopped up on weed.
This passion(ate)flower romance gives you a rosy feeling inside.

NEW YORK (AP) — The world premiere of an opera composed by Gyorgy Kurtag based on Samuel Beckett's "Endgame" has been delayed a year until 2014.
The Salzburg Festival said Wednesday that it will be replaced on its schedule next summer by a production of Harrison Birtwistle's "Gawain" that opens July 26.
Kurtag, an 86-year-old Hungarian composer, intends to complete his new work in time for the 2014 festival.
Next summer's Salzburg schedule includes productions of Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nuernburg," Verdi's "Don Carlo" and "Falstaff," Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte" and "Lucia Silla," and Bellini's "Norma."
Cecila Bartoli will sing the title role in "Norma" for the first time at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival and Placido Domingo will sing in three concert performances of Verdi's "Giovanna d'Arco (Joan of Arc)" starting Aug. 6.
