WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Tuesday he was confident that Senate Democrats and Republicans can reach a comprehensive fiscal agreement this week that avoids a U.S. default on debt and other obligations.
"There are productive negotiations going on with the Republican leader. I'm confident we'll be able to reach a comprehensive agreement this week in time to avert a catastrophic default on the nation's bills," Reid said on the Senate floor.
"The Republican leader and I will keep our members informed as to how negotiations are going. And I express my appreciation to everyone for their patience," Reid said.

X-Photographer Jeff Carter shoots motor sports on X-H1
With over 20 years of photographic experience in several fields, including sport, travel, automotive, landscape and photojournalism, Jeff Carter runs MacLean Photographic in Dunbar on Scotland's east coast and travels the world in search of the next great image to capture.
A user of Fujifilm cameras and film in the 1980s and 1990s, Jeff Carter had no hesitation in purchasing a limited edition X100 when the camera was launched. Adding an X-Pro1 and prime lenses a short time afterwards, Jeff found that the X series allowed him the freedom to explore his creativity with ease and put the joy back into the image making process.
In 2014, Jeff became fully immersed in the X series with the launch of the X-T1 and since then the X-T2, X-Pro2, X100T, along with a selection of Fujinon lenses, has been the backbone of his photographic business.
He also uses the X Series as his primary camera system for stills and video when working as the Media Delegate for the FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series and as the Photo Delegate at the world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans.
As well as providing photographic services to commercial clients, MacLean Photographic run Photographic Workshops and Tours for individual or small groups of photographers of all abilities.
A camera is the tool of my trade and the best tool is one that becomes an extension of my creativity, something that I can use without thinking about to capture an image. I have used all different types of cameras over the last 20 years but, for me, the X Series cameras I use are like an extension of my eye and brain.
The X Series cameras I currently use, along with the range of quality XF lenses, are tools that allow me the freedom to be creative and they have also put the joy back into the image making process.

I got one for Christmas (even though I already had the Saga version), so I've got the instructions laying out at home right now. I'll check it out when I get back from Arizona and let you know if there's anything in there about potentially removing the legs, Brent.

Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most "classic" style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône blends with Grenache and Mourvèdre, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract and alcohol with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style. Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used, but in the New World experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to create complex wines with many different layers of flavors and aromas, or to create more balanced wines. For example, a variety that is soft and full-bodied may be combined with one that is lighter with naturally high acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

Lithium-ion Drills
We test more powerful, less weighty designs that are powered by new battery technology.
By the Popular Woodworking Staff
Pages: 68-72
From the April 2008 issue #168
Buy this issue now
In December 2005 (issue #152), Popular Woodworking tested 14.4-volt drills and used the results to determine if moving up from a 12v drill was worth the investment. In that test, each battery was either Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or Nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH). Today there's a change in battery power. Gone from the headlines are the Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries – replaced by a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. Of course, that meant we had another test to run.

... Please stop attacking other reviewers and their comments. Roger
Do you make this stuff up? Where does this come from? I may not read the same books as you, but I can assure you I've read tons about other artists. Whether I chose to quote them or acknowledge their presence is my choice, and therefore not for you to surmise as to the why?I'll bet money, marbles and chalk I can paint better than you, sculpt, throw a pot, cast, do a nice encaustic, make a salt, albumen, platinum or gum print or just about anything under the sun artistically better than you and that includes shooting photographs. You're a hack who is by the very definition given to you recently, a troll. You're boring.
Oh, let's all follow the leader now. I do! I do! I do!
Finally, after so many years, someone to reveal to us the true purpose of this forum. And it took him only 27 posts to figure that out.
You sound like a reasonably intelligent man... you surely can see the irony in the above, can't you?
Be gentle, Slobodan; he spends life like a bat at rest. Or playing rugby. It comes with the territory.;-)Rob C
At least you could have had the decency to let RG make the first rebuttal, but as acting critique dectective, I guess you had to make a comment to show your authority.
Another personal attack. Ha ha ha.Roger
Chris and I work on the assumption that people posting here are reasonable and intelligent adults.Apparently this is often a misconception.Unless people can police themselves we have little interest in doing the policing. Neither of us have the patience or time to be a school-yard monitor.Next step - instant banning of anyone that acts like a jerk.Final step - shut down the forums. They gain us little, and simply are a pain in the ass to administer.I am not joking.Michael
Just to make this stand out a midst the din That is a very pretty interior finish.Stairwells done by masters are quickly becoming art in themselves.Many stair builders put common touches on their creations,but this stair you have captured is one of the prettiest I've seen in a very long time.Here only the very wealthy have anything close/ even older apartments and public and commercial space don't have stairwells like this one.Altogether a real treasure and photographed in a way that makes one think.Thank you for the image
Anybody think of Atget when he looks at this? I do. Very nice, Jogo.

If ever there was a doubt that managing diabetes is expensive, let new data put those doubts to rest: In 2012, the disease cost the U.S. about $245 billion.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) released that number on Thursday in a study appearing in its journal Diabetes Care, noting that it marked a 41-percent increase from 2007, when diabetes tallied up $174 billion in medical expenses.
That increase in cost corresponds with an increase in diagnoses: In 2007, an estimated 17.5 million Americans had the disease. By 2012, that number had shot up to around 26 million.
The latest data says L.A. County accounts for more than 685,000 of those cases; in South L.A., nearly 12 percent of the population has the disease.
The ADA found that direct medical expenses – hospital and emergency care, office visits, medications – totaled about $176 billion in 2012. Indirect costs, including reduced productivity, unemployment due to disability and early death, tacked another $69 billion onto that.
A few numbers from 2012 that illustrate what that looks like:
- Diabetes accounted for more than 26 million hospital inpatient days, which cost nearly $76 billion.
- Diabetics made around 174 million visits to the doctor's office – that's more than $31 billion.
- More than 673 million prescriptions were written to diabetics, costing more than $59 billion.
- Diabetes reduced productivity in the workplace, resulting in the equivalent of 113 million lost workdays, costing nearly $21 billion.
- Diabetes meant that around 25 million workdays were lost altogether, costing $5 billion.
The ADA authors also found that medical costs for people with diabetes are 2.3 times higher than they are for people without diabetes – and the number of people who experience that is only expected to grow:
The percentage of the population with diagnosed diabetes continues to rise, with one study projecting that as many as one in three U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue.
Dr. Robert Ratner, chief scientific and medical officer of the ADA, said in a statement that "while treating diabetes is expensive, it is the fact that the prevalence of the disease is increasing dramatically" that accounts for the spike in cost.
"These numbers are alarming and further highlight the need for our nation to address this epidemic," he said.
The ADA added in its statement that because California has the largest population with diabetes, it pays the most: almost $28 billion.

Of Cauliflower and Crayfish: The High Art of Dining in 18th-Century France
The Getty Center
Date: Thursday, October 25, 2012
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: Harold M. Williams Auditorium
In mid-18th-century France, decorative sculptural elements on many luxurious serving vessels and tablewares actually portrayed, quite naturalistically, ingredients of the food contained within. Identifiable representations of vegetables, fish, and game can be compared to the recipes from period cookbooks. Charissa Bremer-David, curator of Sculpture and Decorative Arts at the Getty Museum, discusses the naturalism of these miniature sculptures and how they reflected the broader interests of the Enlightenment as well as the latest culinary developments. Discover how these visualizations were meant to awaken and enhance the palate. This talk, part of the Tracey Albainy Lecture Series, commemorates the life and career of Tracey Albainy, a specialist of European silver and ceramics.
How to Get Here
The Getty Center is located at 1200 Getty Center Drive in Los Angeles, California, approximately 12 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. See Hours, Directions, Parking for maps and driving directions.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Continue Reading Below
Wall Street sustained heavy selling Friday, denting annual gains, as the growing specter of the U.S. tumbling over the fiscal cliff sent traders rushing out of equities.
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 158 points, or 1.2%, to 12938, the S&P 500 dipped 15.7 points, or 1.1%, to 1402 and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 25.6 points, or 0.86%, to 2960.
All three major market averages have been down for five sessions in a row. For the week, the Dow shed 1.9%, the S&P 500 dipped 1.9% and the Nasdaq dropped 2%. The year-end losses have eaten into annual gains, with the S&P 500 now pointing to year-to-date gains of 11.5% from more than 14% before the selloff began.
The focus across world trading desks has been the fiscal cliff -- a potent punch of spending cuts and tax hikes -- that now looms just days away. Budget negotiations have been deadlocked for days, with Democrats and Republicans in Congress lobbing criticism at each other. The Senate is back in session, and the House of Representatives will come back for legislative action on Sunday evening.
The selling on Wall Street heated up late in the day on news President Barack Obama offered congressional leaders the same plan he talked about last Friday at a news conference in a last-minute meeting. The plan includes preventing tax increases on those making $250,000 or less a year and the extension of emergency unemployment benefits, the person familiar with the matter told FOX Business.
Investment banks keeping track of the talks for clients have said they see an increased chance of the U.S. rolling off the cliff in the past week. Still, there are hopes among some analysts that at least a temporary plan will be crafted to stop some of the effects that could throw the economy into a mild recession in the first quarter of 2013.
Two economics reports released on the day that beat expectations did little to sway the Street.
Signed contracts to buy existing homes climbed 1.7% in November from October to the highest level since April 2010, according to the National Association of Realtors. Economists forecast a smaller gain of 1%. The forward-looking housing indicator was up 9.8% from the same month in 2011.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago's PMI gauge climbed to 51.6 in December from 50.4 the month before, a slightly better reading than the 51 economists forecast. Readings above 50 point to expansion in the Midwest manufacturing sector, while those below indicate contraction.
Energy futures traded to the downside. The benchmark crude oil contract fell 7 cents, or 0.08%, to $90.80 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline slumped 0.76% to $2.80 a gallon. In metals, gold fell $7.80, or 0.47%, to $1,656 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 fell 1.2% to 2627, the English FTSE 100 dipped 0.49% to 5925 and the German DAX slumped 0.57% to 7612.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 advanced 0.7% to 10395 and the Chinese Hang Seng climbed 0.21% to 22667.

As regulations continue to move toward encouraging people make healthier choices in their diets, school lunches are no exception.
As regulations continue to move toward encouraging people make healthier choices in their diets, school lunches are no exception.
Schools in USD 490 are following the same federal regulations as all other schools in Kansas, bringing about dislike of some of the meals and concerns about the amounts of food.
"We were required to implement the new calorie and sodium and fat standard requirements," said Superintendent Sue Givens. "We complied with that and had some feedback from students and parents that they did not like some of the options and did like some of the menu items particularly."
The new standards identify the healthy ranges for five categories of food – fruits, vegetables, grains, meats or meat alternatives, and fluid milk – as well as the healthy ranges for total calories, saturated and trans fat, and sodium.
Students have commented there is not much taste to some food and not enough food.
"Again, our job is to comply with what is offered," Givens said. "We decided even though we had to comply, we didn't have to comply with every single menu item on the six-week cycle."
So the district sent a survey to every parent and student asking which items they liked. The district then began the process of deleting those items that don't have at least a third of the students who like them.
Givens explained that they have to meet those weekly totals when they pull a menu item and add something else.
"It is taking a while to get that implicated," she said.
Norm Wilks, director of fiscal services, said it is frustrating and complicated dealing with the food service guidelines, such as they can change some daily minimums, but not calorie counts.
"We need to look at being able to contract or higher a dietician," Wilks said. "It doesn't really justify a single employee or cost of dietician."
Because the district didn't replace the food service director a couple of years ago when the person in that position left, they split up those duties.
Now they are looking at the possibility of hiring a food service management company that would provide a more appealing and professional food service quality.
"What we would like to pursue is working through a six-month process that is required under state regulations now to ask for a request for proposals for a food service management company to provide the management of the food service program," Wilks said.
It is their goal that company would maintain the current employees in the district.
"It is not a highly popular issue in Kansas and the process is significantly complicated to get through," Wilks said.
The Board of Education gave their approval to start the process of looking into that option. The district will be setting up visits to some of the other school districts that use these companies and invited the board members to go along.
"It's more like a professional cafeteria that would invite you to go through it," Givens said. "It's more along the lines of what a hospital cafeteria looks like with multiple options. It looks so different."
Such a company would also help the district with efficiencies with cooperative purchasing offering cost savings and options for special needs and allergies.
Some of the local districts using such a company include Augusta and Andover.
"We are among a lot of districts in the state that are looking at options to provide options for kids," Givens said.

The P60 monitoring system comprised two P60 loudspeakers and one K300 equaliser/amplifier. It was designed for any audio monitoring situation where modest size, high quality and high output are required. This includes radio and television control room monitoring, outside broadcasting, editing suites, nearfield rock monitoring and classical music monitoring.
The P60 took advantage of the hybrid crossover, a newly developed KEF technique combining the best attributes of active and passive crossovers. By designing the loudspeaker and amplifier as an integrated system, major engineering compromises are side-stepped. The hybrid crossover results in a system with a smoother, more balanced performance and greater dynamic range.

PUYALLUP, Wash. — Katie Coats used to work in a crime lab in Seattle. These days, she reports to a quieter research facility about 40 miles south, in the shadow of Mt. Rainier.
Here, Coats wields a surgical blade on her subjects, slicing away small chunks of cells and delicately dropping them in vials to preserve for genetic analysis.
Coats isn't trying to chase down rapists or serial killers. She's using the tissue — which, on a recent day, came from a Canaan fir — to make better Christmas trees.
Or so her boss, plant pathologist Gary Chastagner, hopes.
It's tempting to think the evergreen in your living room is a pristine piece of nature, plucked from a silent and snowy hillside.

While there are probably millions of women all over the world who are single at age 30, apparently when it comes to Kim Kardashian, it is front page news material.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star graces the latest cover of PEOPLE magazine under the heading 'Kim Kardashian at 30 – I Thought I'd Be Married By Now.' Get it? Because she's 30 and not married unlike her 26-year-old sister Khloe Kardashian, nor does she have any kids unlike her 31-year-old sister Kourtney.
"Is it weird that I'm now the single one? It's definitely a change for me," she admits. "I have always been the one in a relationship. I like that role, I want that best friend partnership."
The single Kim does also add that she feels "powerful" being an unattached career woman. Our open letter to Kim is below.
Dear Kimmy, you're playing this all wrong sweetheart. Appearing on PEOPLE's cover to tell your woe is me – I'm 30, still single and hoping to fall in love soon story only scares them away. Telling PEOPLE magazine that you're loving the single life and aren't really looking to get married anytime soon unless you happen to find someone really special will have them lining up at your door. Sincerely, Reality Tea.
P.S. – Please stop messing with your face.
In other Kardashians are taking over the world news, E! News is reporting that Kourtney Kardashian has snagged a new acting role, as she has signed on to appear on the ABC soap One Life to Live.
Kourtney is scheduled to film her scenes on Thursday and she will not be playing herself. Her episode of One Life to Live will reportedly air in March.
And finally, in addition to her perfume line, make up line, Quicktrim line, prepaid debit card line, Kim Kardashian is hawking adding yet another line to her long list of endorsements.
According to a new blog post of hers, she now has her own swimwear collection for the Beach Bunny Swimwear company. A photo of Kimmy modeling one of the bikinis below, plus more photos from her collection.

Polar bear tracker
Their positions are beamed from collars on the bears' necks, via satellite to scientists, and then to this site. It allows us to get regular updates about how the polar bears behave in their Arctic environment and how they may be affected by climate change.
Why do we track polar bears?This important work helps us to understand the impact that climate change, toxic pollution and other threats are having on different polar bear populations. An important part of polar bear research is understanding the movements of the bears, particularly in relation to sea ice.
Watch polar bear researchers in action:
To understand how they travelFrom the data collected, scientists can determine when a female enters a den, when she emerges with cubs and how far she travels each day. They can also map a polar bear's range to determine whether individuals travel vast distances or remain strictly within their home range.
Over time this information reveals changes and adaptations. For example, in years when there is less sea ice, it will tell us where bears go and how they adapt.
To monitor healthWhen scientists fit a bear with a radio collar, they also collect important information about its health by:
- measuring Its length and weight
- taking samples of blood, fat, hair, and other tissues to identify any toxic contamination
- estimating its age. Like the rings of a tree, the polar bear's teeth have thin layers of bone that show its age. Scientists pull a small tooth, located just behind the large canine teeth and of no use to the bear.
How do we track the bears?Scientists observe the bears in their natural habitats and use radio collars to track their movements. The collar sends signals via satellite that are used to plot the bear's path.
Only female polar bears can be tracked using radio collars. Male polar bears have necks that are wider than their head, so the collars simply fall off.

Les Paul Museum reviews security after famed violin stolen
Concertmaster robbed of $6 million Stradivarius
The brazen armed robbery of a 300-year-old violin is making those in the local music and art world very nervous.
VIDEO: Les Paul Museum reviews security policies after violin theft
At the Les Paul Museum, guitars line the walls signed by an array of music stars.
Dan Finley, the museum's director, said the instruments are priceless and closely guarded.
"We are always evaluating our security. As you can see behind me, we have some wonderful guitars. They are very valuable and these are well-secured," Finley said.
He said the museum currently does not loan the guitars out to musicians but it does have plans to do so.
But Finley is concerned about that project after Milwaukee Symphony Concertmaster Frank Almond was shot with a stun gun and robbed of his $6 million Stradivarius violin Monday night after a performance at Wisconsin Lutheran College.
"We are not loaning anything currently but the day will come when some of these guitars will be allowed to travel the country, if not the world, but when they go, they will be under tight security as they need to be," he said.
When he was director of the Milwaukee Public Museum overseeing high-profile exhibits like BodyWorlds, The Vatican and Dead Sea Scrolls, the museum had heavy protection around the clock, Finley said.
Finley said he's baffled that Almond was alone without security when he was attacked.
"We wouldn't be just walking around in a parking lot with these kinds of instruments we have here. (They) deserve armed protection," Finley said.
The FBI and Interpol, the world's largest police organization investigating international crimes, are both involved in the violin theft investigation.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra plans to release new information about the case on Thursday.

'Game Of Thrones' Season 3 Episode 7 Recap: What Women Want
What do the women of Westeros want? We've seen how ostensibly powerless the women of "Game of Thrones" are: no direct influence over matters of state, war or sometimes even their own lives. But the subtle influence of women on history is a recurring theme in the show, and in the latest episode, "The Bear and the Maiden Fair," especially.
Ygritte wants Jon Snow to commit – not so much to her, but to the wildling cause (and also to her). She also doesn't want to reciprocate the affections of the creepy eagle-tamer Orell.
Jon points out that the histories of Westeros are littered with failed wildling invasions from the north – six in all, all failures. But again Ygritte reminds Jon that he's one of them now.
Sansa doesn't want to marry Tyrion. Margaery gently reminds her that as far as Lannisters go, Tyrion's nowhere near as bad as his nephew. Plus, Sansa's future son with Tyrion could be the lord of both Casterly Rock and Winterfell. But this happy bit of news reminds Sansa about where babies come from, and that just makes her sad again.
Shae also doesn't want Sansa to marry Tyrion. He gives her some very nice gold chain necklaces as a kind of preemptive apology and floats the idea of buying her a house in the city and providing for any of their future children. Shae would rather run away across the Narrow Sea; Tyrion, fearing that he'd lose all of his status if he disavows his family, doesn't want to risk ending up as an amusement in the East.
Tyrion complains to Bronn, who doesn't quite see the problem with having a beautiful whore and marrying a beautiful woman who comes with, in all likelihood, a vast kingdom.
King Joffrey, fresh off murdering the expositional former prostitute Ros with a crossbow, summons Tywin to complain at him. Tywin's moved the Small Council meetings to the Tower of the Hand, so the king would have to climb stairs to attend them; and he's not doing anything about Daenerys or her dragons in the East. But Tywin doesn't think the dragons are anything to worry about at this point and offers to arrange for Joffrey to be carried up the tower stairs if he wishes to attend meetings. It's not as viscerally satisfying as Tyrion's slap in the first season, but it's about a thousand times more menacing.
Catelyn Stark would like her son to get a move on; Robb is due at the Twins to apologize for breaking his promise to Walder Frey and offer Edmure as a substitute groom for one of the Frey daughters. But the rain is really annoying to march through, so Robb decides to make Lord Frey wait a little longer to get his consolation wedding.
Talisa wants Robb to know that she's probably pregnant! Also, she'd like to get a good look at that map showing the positions of Robb's armies that he keeps by the bedside as she writes a letter to her "mother" (that fan-made theory about Talisa being a secret Lannister spy seems increasingly credible).
Arya just wants to get back to her family, but the Brotherhood Without Banners decides to delay that trip a couple days to harass a Lannister scouting party. She runs off and is promptly snagged by the Hound.
Brienne wants Jaime to keep his oath to Catelyn and send the Stark girls home from King's Landing (most people aren't aware that Arya went missing), and Jaime agrees. He's setting off for the capitol without her but is confident that Brienne's father will ransom her from Bolton's sadistic hunting master, Locke.
On the road, Jaime hears that Locke has rejected the Lord of Tarth's offer of 300 gold dragons for his daughter – thanks in part to the notion planted by Jaime that Tarth is home to the best sapphire mines in Westeros – and is instead planning some gruesome end for her. He threatens/cajoles his escort to take him back to Harrenhal, where he finds Brienne being forced to fight a bear. Jaime jumps in the pit, and the Bolton guards tasked with seeing him safely to King's Landing help him and Brienne out. Jaime flat-out tells Locke he'll have to kill him to get to Brienne, and Bolton's primary interest is in seeing Jaime making it back alive to Tywin.
Melisandre wants Gendry to wake up and realize what pretty much everyone else figured out last season: he's the bastard son of King Robert Baratheon. "There's power in king's blood," Melisandre says – how much blood is necessary, though? We don't find out quite, yet.
Theon's already shed a bit of blood in the torture chamber. After getting the skin stripped off of his pinky finger last week, things for him are starting to look up when two girls sneak in and unbind him. But just as things get hot and heavy, the hornblowing torturer reappears and calls the girls off. Unlike last week's pinky-flaying, we don't really see what happens next, but it seems pretty certain that he's completely lost another, more precious organ. If Theon ever runs into Varys, they can commiserate.
Osha wants the kids that she's in charge of to realize how incredibly dangerous the lands north of the Wall are. The original plan was to take Bran and Rickon Stark back to Jon at Castle Black, but Jojen, relying on his visions, says they need to go out into the wilderness. Osha is dead-set against it, having some rather personal experience with the undead menace in the north – her former lover returned to her as a living corpse once and almost choked her to death.
Daenerys wants to free the 200,000 slaves in bondage in the city of Yunkai. But the city, which has heavy walls and provisions, would prove a harder peach to pluck than Astapor. Yunkai's slave masters are pretty confident they can withstand a siege, but their emissary still offers Daenerys gold and ships if she promises to be on her way. But Daenerys is pretty committed to the whole slave-freeing mission now and offers the Wise Masters of Yunkai a simple deal: free all the slaves, give them compensation for their labor or be destroyed.

Living Area:Pomeranians are perfectly suited to indoor living, and will even do quite well in an apartment. They are spirited dogs, and do require exercise. However, due to their size, they can get most of what they need running around the house. They can be picky eaters, and since they need to be fed dry dog food in order to prevent tooth loss, feeding them can be a problem. They can get overheated because of their large amount of fur, and should not be left outdoors or in a car in hot weather. However, they are quite tolerant of cold temperatures, though they should not be left outdoors in severe cold either, simply because of their size.

Pomeranians are short and small toy dogs. In fact, they're one of the smallest dog breeds in the world. They have soft dense undercoats with an abundance of outer coat that is coarsely textured. They have heavily plumed tails that lie flat on their backs. They are medium boned and sturdy in appearance, despite their small size.The Pomeranian should have a head that is in good balance to the rest of the body, with a short, straight muzzle. They have very alert expressions and often look very much like a small fox. Their ears are very small and erect and are mounted high on the head. They have a very large ruff around the neck that is an important part of their overall appearance. Their eyes are dark and almond shaped and very bright and alert in appearance. They have a black nose and teeth that meet in a scissors bite. Their necks are short and they carry their heads quite high.Pomeranians are very vivacious and extroverted, which is one of the reasons that this breed tends to be a great show dog. They have a smooth gait and appear very well balanced. Once trained, they will be a standout in the show ring, because they truly enjoy the limelight and love to be watched.You'll sometimes hear those selling puppies refer to "teacup Pomeranians". Those dogs described as "teacup" typically weigh less than three pounds. It's important to note that there is no official "teacup" variety of Pomeranian. A Pomeranian weighing three pounds or less is likely just the runt of the litter or has health problems. The AKC considers a weight of less than three pounds to be a fault.
We have Pomeranian Puppies For Sale, please support our Pomeranian breeders!
The Pomeranian has a double coat, which is one of its most noticeable features. The undercoat sheds constantly. The undercoat is soft and dense, but the outer coat is long and straight, with a very coarse texture. Their coats are very thick and stand off from the body, making the dog look significantly larger than he really is. The coat on the head and legs is tightly packed and shorter than that on the body. The forequarters and hindquarters are typically well feathered. Trimming of the Pomeranian's hair on a regular basis is essential to keeping this breed looking neat.
The Pomeranian is a descendant of the ancient Spitz breeds of the far north. These original Spitz family dogs were the sled dogs from Iceland and Lapland. These breeds were brought to Europe from the Prussian region of Pomerania (an area that's part of Germany and Poland today) and used to herd sheep. These original dogs weighed as much as 30 pounds. In the 1800's Queen Victoria established a kennel for breeding these dogs, but asked the breeders to develop a breed in a smaller size, since she preferred small dogs. Over time, the breed was developed down to its current size of 4-5 pounds. The Pomeranian that we know today was not in existence until the 19th century. Because of their natural showmanship, this breed became a favorite among those who like to show dogs and among the circus. Pomeranians are talented at agility and many types of tricks.Many famous people have been Pomeranian owners. These include Marie Antoinette, Emile Zola, Mozart, Michelangelo and Thomas Edison. It is said that Edison's Pomeranian spilled ink on papers containing information that he had spent 20 years researching. Michelangelo's was said to have watched him as he painted the Sistine Chapel. Queen Victoria owned multiple Pomeranians.
Pomeranians are extremely intelligent and extroverted. They are very spirited dogs, and do well with spirited owners. They prefer a lot of interaction with their owners, which is why they are often used as companion dogs for single people. Due to the dog's small size, they are easy to transport, and love going everywhere with their humans.Because of their small size, Pomeranians are not good dogs for small children. When children play rough with this sort of dog it can often make the dog fearful, nervous and snappish. In addition, the rough play of small children can easily injure this delicate toy breed. However, these dogs do quite well with older children who are calmer and more well behaved. If you choose a Pomeranian for a family with children, it is just as important to train the children as it is to train the dog.Pomeranians can have a tendency to be yippy, and will often bark far too much. To make matters worse, many Pomeranians have a very high pitched bark that can be especially irritating. However, if you begin training them at an early age, you can teach the dog to bark only when appropriate.Pomeranians tend to be very willful and dominant in their personalities, so early training is critical. They are somewhat cocky, and often will not hesitate to take on a dog that is four or five times their size, as they seem to have no recognition of how small they are. Because of these tendencies, training your Pomeranian thoroughly and at a young age is critical. They are independent and curious and are usually happy and alert dogs. They are full of energy and active, but since they are so small, they are not usually a nuisance. They love to do tricks and bond well to their owners, but are not typically overly clingy. They don't like to be left alone for long periods of time, so this is not necessarily a good breed for the family who is gone all day long.Pomeranians can do well with other pets in the home, but they should be introduced early, since this breed has a tendency to be very dominant.
Pomeranians are prone to several different Health Problems. The most notable problem is early tooth loss, which is quite common in this breed. To prevent tooth loss, feed your Pomeranian a Diet of dry dog food to help keep his teeth and gums in good condition. In addition, it's important to have your Pomeranian's teeth cleaned professionally once a year. Pomeranians can also be prone to eye and skin infections and some lines are prone to dislocated knee caps and Slipped stifle.Pomeranians are also prone to dry eyes, tear duct disorders and Cataracts, all of which can cause blindness. Patent ductus arteriosis, a congenital heart defect is common in Pomeranians, as is collapsing trachea. Both of these problems can be quite serious. Before you purchase a Pomeranian puppy from a breeder, it's important to understand the puppy's lineage, so that you know what Health Problems he is likely to have inherited. It's also critical to have your Pomeranian receive regular veterinary care, since this breed does tend to have more Health problems than many other breeds, and because, like other toy breeds, this dog is generally fragile.
The Pomeranian requires a fair amount of grooming. They are constant shedders and their long coats must be brushed frequently to keep them from getting tangled and matted. In addition, regular brushing helps prevent dandruff, which can be a problem with Pomeranians, and leads to itchy skin. However, if you brush the Pomeranian properly, starting at the head, parting the hair and brushing it forward, it will fall right into place. Pomeranians are very heavy shedders, so brushing them every day will also help you keep the hair at bay. Their eyes and ears should be cleaned daily, as they are prone to infections, and their teeth must be regularly cared for by the veterinarian, as well as receiving daily, or at least weekly, brushing at home. Feeding them dental treats and vitamin treats can help with their tooth problems, too.When you need to shampoo your Pomeranian, dry shampoo works best, as regular shampoos can cause the dog to lose the natural oils in his coat. If you must shampoo with wet shampoo, keep shampooing to a minimum and be certain to use a mild shampoo especially formulated not to dry out the hair and skin. Since Pomeranians are prone to dry itchy skin, it's important to keep their natural oils intact.
Pomeranians need a moderate amount of exercise, but can get what they need from running around in the house. They also love to walk, and can get sufficient exercise by just going on a daily walk with their owner. Though they are small, they can go on long walks without becoming overly tired. You'll find that this breed is energetic, but at the same time does not need a significant amount of exercise.
The Pomeranian can be quite a willful and dominant dog, so training must begin early and must be consistent. It's very important that your Pomeranian knows that you're the boss. If this fact is not established early on, this breed can become very demanding and possessive of their owners and will refuse to listen to even the simplest commands. It is also important that these dogs are socialized early on to prevent them from being overly suspicious of strangers. Spend plenty of time working on appropriate and inappropriate barking, as Pomeranians are known to be excessive barkers when not properly.It is imperative that your Pomeranian be taught not to be underfoot. Because of their small size, a Pomeranian can be seriously injured if he is stepped or sat on. They love to sleep under blankets and pillows, where they can be difficult to detect and easy to sit on. In addition, a Pomeranian can seriously injure himself or even kill himself if he jumps out of your arms or off the back of a high couch. Pomeranians are notoriously hard to housebreak. Because they are so small, they can sneak off to any little corner and go to the bathroom without you ever knowing it. And, of course, once they've gone in the house, the pattern is established. This is one breed for which crate training is absolutely necessary. They should not be allowed to roam the house unsupervised for many months, until their bodies are mature enough to hold their urine and they are well trained enough to understand the appropriate places to go.However, these dogs are very intelligent, and with the proper training, can be taught to do nearly anything they need to do. They love to do tricks and can be quite proficient at them. Pomeranians are very curious and inquisitive. This makes them somewhat easy to train, but does mean that you'll need to train them in a place where they can be focused, with few distractions.Once properly trained, Pomeranians are suitable for many types of tasks. Because their energy level is high, they can be very hard workers. In the past, Pomeranians have been used for search and rescue dogs, particularly in post earthquake searches, where small dogs are needed to locate survivors. In addition, they are often used as the therapy dogs for the elderly and ill. Finally, they can be trained to be used as companion dogs for the hearing impaired.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department may have more flexibility to cope with what it has painted as a potentially devastating across-the-board spending cut, the department's chief financial officer said Tuesday.
Robert Hale, the Pentagon's comptroller, said he interpreted preliminary guidance from the White House to mean the Pentagon may dodge its worst fear: an indiscriminate lop of 9.4 percent from all of its more than 2,500 programs or projects.
He said the White House Office of Management and Budget's instructions in a September 14 report, would give the Pentagon latitude to make such cuts within each overall budget account, rather than program by program.
If so, this would let the Pentagon protect higher-priority arms programs, for instance, by cutting more elsewhere in its budget.
The ability to pick and choose program cuts to meet overall budget constraints "would give us more flexibility," Hale said in a brief interview after speaking at a forum in suburban Arlington, Virginia, hosted by Government Executive magazine.
"But it's a preliminary report so we're not yet sure how about how it would be defined," he said, referring to pending final instructions for carrying out the spending cuts.
The Defense Department has about 50 budget accounts, including such things as active Army operation and maintenance, Navy reserve operation and maintenance and Air Force Guard operation and maintenance.
Another example of a budget account is Army weapons and tracked vehicles.
Hale declined to discuss which programs the Pentagon might cut more deeply given the managerial discretion to do so.
The across-the-board cuts known as sequestration are scheduled to kick in on January 2, forcing the department to chop its spending by about $54.7 billion in fiscal 2013 on top of cuts already being carried out under a broad budget deficit-reduction deal enacted into law in August 2011.
Paired with a matching cut in spending on non-defense domestic programs, this would be the first installment of a 10-year, $1.2 trillion reduction in previously projected spending plans.
The idea behind sequestration was to prod ideologically opposed lawmakers into a more thoughtful, targeted way to curb annual budget deficits that have topped $1 trillion in recent years.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has urged Congress to call off the automatic spending cuts, going so far as warning last year that it was a "crazy doomsday mechanism" and "goofy meat-axed approach" that would have a devastating impact on national security.
Asked by Reuters about such comments, Hale said they were based on a fear of the inflexible nature of the sequester law before the OMB instructions that he read as more flexible.
The September 14 OMB report cited by Hale says on its first page that, with the sole exception of military personnel accounts, the administration "cannot choose which programs to exempt, or what percentage cuts to apply" if the automatic spending cuts kick in.
"The administration does not support these cuts, but unless Congress acts responsibly, there will be no choice but to implement them," the OMB report said.
Asked to comment on any discrepancy, a spokeswoman for Hale's office said there was none.
The sequestration law requires that a breakdown by "Program, Project and Activity," or PPA, be used for sequestration, said Lieutenant Colonel Melinda Morgan, a Pentagon spokeswoman.
"However, PPAs are defined differently across the government," she said by email, adding that a final definition for PPAs has not yet been determined. (Editing by Doina Chiacu)

It's time to tuck a few notes into the Internet time capsule.
The abstract ones and the notes scribbled on legal paper with phrases like "we are all the sum of our contradictions" and "it's hard to pull off anything, take as long as you need." Cheesy book quotes, like: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." Or essays that start with, "It's a long story…"
Because it is a long story, so save the Playbills and the concert tickets and remember the funny phrases and the pizza and the good weather and the love (and shame) and love. Always, always, always love. And balloons.
21, thanks for the drinks.
Thanks for the goodbyes and hellos.
Thanks for feeling like a million Alanis Morissette songs.
Thanks for Big Bear and the beach.
Thanks for graduation and the discovery of deer.
Thanks for The OC game and Joan Didion.
Thanks for good lighting and simple songs.
Thanks for Pet Sounds and Born to Run.
Thanks for the uke and Dream a Little Dream.
Thanks for cute faced kittens and dogs with a sense of humor.
Thanks for belly laughs.
Thanks for family and long days in pajamas.
Thanks for "Shall we dance?"
Thanks for Beyonce.
And thanks for Harry Potter. Because that had to happen.
22, I want even more karaoke.
And finger picking ukulele songs
More give
More patience
More poetry
More accents
More songs of myself and long walks and Xs and Os.
And maybe a little Mahler spilling through those songs.
22, there's something about you that I really like already.
I wanted to thank the mockingbird for the vigor of his song.
Everyday he sang from the rim of the field,
While I picked blueberries or just idled in the sun.
Every day he came fluttering by to show me,
and why not, the white blossoms of his wings.
So one day I went there with a machine,
And played some songs of Mahler.
The mocking bird stopped singing,
he came close and seemed to listen.
Now when I go down to the field,
a little Mahler spills through the sputters of his song.
How happy I am, lounging in the light,
listening as the music floats by!
And I give thanks also for my mind,
that thought of giving the gift.
And mostly I'm grateful that I take this world so seriously.

Planned to cook nasi lemak since last week but was too lazy to move my bum. After tempted by cik mat's nasi lemak, I could not wait any longer! Cooked nasi lemak yesterday, with dried shrimp sambal, eggs, fried chicken wings and two other must have ingredients - fried anchovies and roasted peanuts. Had nasi lemak for dinner last night and the leftover for lunch today. Every mouthful of satisfaction, millions of happy taste buds!

My name is Matthew Sievert. I am from Midlothian, Virginia and partly because of the financial assistance I am receiving from the American Physical Society, I will be attending Virginia Commonwealth University this fall. I am very fervent in my dedication to physics, and as such plan to major in physics in college.
For me, physics is the only truly rational science. Whereas biology is based on seemingly endless memorization and anatomical structure and chemistry is based on the abstract combination of dozens of atoms, physics is firmly grounded in mathematics. The level of physics one can understand is limited only by one's knowledge of mathematics. Furthermore, those simple equations, starting with the kinematic equations I learned at the beginning of first year physics, allow me to predict projectile motion and particle interactions. The power of the conservation laws B linear momentum, energy, and angular momentum B in predicting otherwise brain-numbingly complex situations is astounding. To me, physics is appealing because of the power it endows in anyone creative enough to apply it.
Receiving this scholarship to assist in my pursuit of an education in physics is inspiring. As only the second in seven generations of Cherokee Indian heritage to attend college, I feel a great responsibility to strive to make a difference in the world. I am proud and honored to be a recipient of this scholarship and encourage any student to consider physics as a worthwhile and fulfilling area of study.

Galactosemia is a condition in which the body is unable to use (metabolize) the simple sugar galactose.
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency; Galactokinase deficiency; Galactose-6-phosphate epimerase deficiency
Galactosemia is an inherited disorder. This means it is passed down through families. If both parents carry an abnormal gene that can cause galactosemia, each of their children has a 25% chance of being affected.
It occurs in approximately 1 of every 60,000 births among Caucasians. The rate is different for other groups.
There are three forms of the disease:
People with galactosemia are unable to fully break down the simple sugar galactose. Galactose makes up half of lactose, the sugar found in milk. The other sugar is glucose.
If an infant with galactosemia is given milk, substances made from galactose build up in the infant's system. These substances damage the liver, brain, kidneys, and eyes.
Persons with galactosemia cannot tolerate any form of milk (human or animal). They must be careful about eating other foods containing galactose.
Infants with galactosemia can develop symptoms in the first few days of life if they eat formula or breast milk that contains lactose. The symptoms may be due to a serious blood infection with the bacteria E. coli.
Signs include:
Newborn screening in many states will test for this condition.
Tests include:
People with this condition must avoid all milk, milk-containing products (including dry milk), and other foods that contain galactose for life. It is essential to read product labels and be an informed consumer.
Infants can be fed with:
Calcium supplements are recommended.
Parents of Galactosemic Children, Inc.
People who get an early diagnosis and strictly avoid milk products can live a relatively normal life. However, mild intellectual impairment may develop, even in people who avoid galactose.
Call your health care provider if:
It is helpful to know your family history. If you have a family history of galactosemia and want to have children, genetic counseling will help you make decisions about pregnancy and prenatal testing. Once the diagnosis of galactosemia is made, genetic counseling is recommended for other members of the family.
Many states screen all newborns for galactosemia. If parents learn that the test indicates possible galactosemia, they should promptly stop giving their infant milk products and ask their health care provider about having blood tests that can be done to confirm a diagnosis of galactosemia.

Tim Thomas' two shutouts over the last week were by a combined score of 13-0 and hardly required him to break a sweat.
So tonight the Bruins made him do most of the work in their 3-2 win at Carolina.
Thomas made 43 saves, including 19 of 19 in the second period, to keep the Hurricanes down long enough for Milan Lucic to score the game-winning goal on the power play with 8:11 remaining in regulation.
Lucic's goal was his first since he returned to the lineup Monday.
Here's a look at the rest of the box score:
•Cam Ward bounced back after being pulled by Carolina Monday with 25 saves.
•After some flip flopping by the official scorer, Johnny Boychuk finally received credit for his first goal of the season. Boston's other goal came off the stick of Brad Marchand.
•Mark Recchi recorded two assists, including the set-up of Lucic's goal.

To the Editor:
I want to take a moment to update everyone on where Fairfield stands on our budget approval process. There are five steps in our budget approval process.
• Step 1: The department heads prepare their budget requests.
• Step 2: The first selectman makes his recommendations.
• Step 3: The Board of Selectmen reviews the recommendations and makes its adjustments.
• Step 4: The Board of Finance reviews the budget and makes its adjustments.
• Step 5: The Representative Town Meeting (RTM) makes its adjustments and then votes to approve the budget.
So far, the first four steps have been completed. The RTM review and approval is the next step. On Monday, April 28, the RTM discussed the budget and possible adjustments. The RTM will then vote on the budget on Monday, May 5.
Here is where the budget stands before any RTM action. If approved, the overall total for the budget is $286,015,872. This total would mean a mill rate of 24.50 and an increase of 2.38% over the current year. The Board of Education budget would be $156,218,051, representing a 3.32% increase. The town-side total would be $129,797,821, or a 1.98% increase over the current year.
These totals include fully funding the annual recommended contributions for our long-term pension and retiree medical obligations. The budget also allows for $500,000 to be added to surplus and a $400,000 expansion of tax relief for seniors and disabled persons.
These numbers all remain estimates until the RTM takes its vote on May 5. The Board of Finance is scheduled to meet on May 6 to set the mill rate.
I want to thank everyone involved in this budget process for their hard work and I also want to thank our residents for their questions, comments and input. Please visit our town's current budget webpage at fairfieldct.org/2014-2015budget for information on budget meeting locations and times.
Michael Tetreau
First Selectman

Another Inch Or Two Snow
Another Inch Or Two Snow
Lake enhanced snow fall in our counties closer to Lake Michigan through late morning into early afternoon. Another inch is possible for Sheboygan, FDL, Dodge, Washington and northern Ozaukee counties. One inch or less elsewhere. Temperatures will hold nearly steady in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Clearing for tonight and with a fresh snow cover our lows fall quickly to the mid teens. Plenty of sun for Sunday with colder highs in the mid 20s. Just a few clouds for Monday with highs in the mid 20s.
Outlook calls for a chance of light snow later Wednesday into Thursday with a weak Clipper type storm and then much colder air in for late week.

Utah Arts & Museums announces the opening of the exhibition Utah Iconography in the Fourth Floor Gallery, located in the historic Utah State Capitol at 350 North State Street in Salt Lake City. The show runs from December 16, 2013 to March 13, 2014. Gallery hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
Utah Iconography is an exhibit of works selected from the State of Utah Fine Art Collection. These works reference people, places and things that are, or could be, considered icons in Utah. They represent actual places, buildings and people, but also reference ideas and experiences that are part of life in Utah.
"There are many other icons, both personal and public, that could not be included in this exhibit," said Utah Arts & Museums Director Lynnette Hiskey, "but these selected works give the viewer a glimpse of the past 115 years of collecting great Utah artists and icons."
The State Fine Art Collection, also known as the "Alice Art Collection," was initiated by Representative Alice Merrill Horne, who sponsored, in the 1899 3rd Utah Legislature, Senate Bill 89, creating the Utah Art Institute (now known as the Utah Division of Arts and Museums), the first state-sponsored arts organization in the United States. More information about the State of Utah Fine Art Collection and the Visual Arts programming of Utah Arts & Museums is available at visualartsutah.org or by contacting Jim Glenn at 801.245.7271.

The New York State Department of Health presented a report on the final results of its Tonawanda area cancer study that shows elevated levels of some cancers and birth defects.
The report was presented at a meeting held on Thursday night, Nov. 7, at St. Timothy Lutheran Church on Staley Road after the Dispatch went to press.
The Clean Air Coalition issued a statement Thursday morning that said the New York State Department of Health has found that lung cancer, bladder cancer, and total cancers were elevated among both males and females; esophageal cancer was elevated among males and uterine cancer was elevated among females; in sub-areas, oral cavity cancer was elevated among males, and leukemia among females; pre-term births and heart defects were also elevated, the CAC reported.
In its final report, the DOH included the recommendation to conduct future bio-monitoring of residents, including the taking of blood and urine samples to assess toxic exposure, the CAC said.
According to the Clean Air Coalition, residents are requesting that any further health research must lead to change in public policy and regulation. The CAC said Tonawanda has the highest concentration of air regulated facilities in New York state with more than 53 industrial plants in the neighborhood. According to the Department of Environmental Conservation, the annual average concentration for six air toxics (1,3-butadiene, acetaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and formaldehyde), each exceed the health-based annual guideline concentrations, the CAC noted.

Senator Franken Questions Legality Of DOJ Having Mobile Operators Reveal Where People Are
from the that-ol'-4th-amendment-thing dept
It appears that others are taking some interest in the possibility of widespread government tracking without a warrant as well. Senator Al Franken has sent a letter to Attorney General Holder asking some pretty pointed questions about how frequently the government gets location data from mobile service providers, and what legal standards it uses. He points to the Jones ruling, which suggested there could be a 4th Amendment violation for placing a GPS device on a car, as one of the reasons for his concern.
I was very concerned to read recent reports suggesting that state and local law enforcement agencies may be working around the protections of Jones by requesting the location records of individuals directly from their wireless carriers instead of tracking the individuals through stand-alone GPS devices installed on their vehicles. I was further concerned to learn that in many cases, these agencies appear to be obtaining precise records of individuals' past and current movements from carriers without first obtaining a warrant for this information. I think that these actions may violate the spirit if not the letter of the Jones decision.While I certainly appreciate this effort and line of inquiry -- I'm not sure that Jones really makes that much of a difference. As we said when it came out, the Justices really danced around the larger issues, with an extremely narrow ruling, which left open the question of how it applied to GPS devices that weren't put on the cars by law enforcement. That is, the ruling focused almost entirely on whether or not the placing of the device constituted a search -- not about the use of such a device. Still, the government's actions need much greater scrutiny here, as there's an awful lot of evidence suggesting that law enforcement is using the power to get people's locations from their mobile phone providers at an incredible rate, and with little to no oversight. I doubt that AG Holder will provide useful answers to this request, but it's still good that Senator Franken is asking.
I am writing to ask you about the Department of Justice's own practices in requesting location information from wireless carriers. I am eager to learn about how frequently the Department requests location information and what legal standard the Department believes it must meet to obtain it. I would also like to know how the Department may have changed these practices since the Jones decision.
