Seattle's city council is as undeterred by constitutional and statutory language as it is by social science.
SEATTLE — In this city, which is a petri dish of progressivism, a prevailing theory is that when you raise the price of something, people will buy less of it, except when they do not. Another, and related, theory is that constitutional and statutory texts should be construed in the spirit of Friedrich Nietzsche: There are no facts, only interpretations.
The city council has voted to impose a tax, effective next year, on sugary soft drinks, raising the price of a 2-liter bottle of soda about $1.18. Presented as a public-health measure to combat obesity, the tax is projected to generate about $15 million a year, although the aspiration of sin taxes (e.g., Seattle's taxes on guns and ammunition) should be zero revenues because chastened consumers will mend their benighted ways. Still, proponents of the tax are confident that it will make people behave better by consuming less of the disapproved drinks.
Three years ago, the city council, adhering to another current tenet of progressivism, voted — unanimously, of course — to increase the city's minimum wage incrementally from $9.47 to $15 an hour. The council rejected the contention that when the price of entry-level labor increases, employers buy less of it. The city commissioned a study from six University of Washington economists ranging from left to right, presumably expecting their findings to be congruent with other studies purporting to show that the demand for such labor, unlike the demand for sugary sodas, is price-inelastic. (And unlike in Denmark, where the minimum wage increases 40 percent when a worker turns 18, and the employment of young workers declines one-third.)
The University of Washington study, however, published as a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, concluded that the costs to low-wage Seattle workers have been three times larger than the benefits. Using a richer trove of data and more sophisticated statistical methods than have been available for other studies of minimum wages, the report concluded that Seattle's still-advancing increase has cost more than 5,000 jobs, and that workers whose wages were increased to comply with the new minimum lost an average of $125 a month as employers reduced their hours. Although total employment in the restaurant industry, which hires a substantial portion of minimum wage workers, did not decline, employers replaced less skilled, low productivity workers with others able to produce higher-value work products. As one of the study's authors said, "Basically, what we're doing is we're removing the bottom rung of the ladder."
The city responded by seeking alternative facts. Forewarned about the six economists' conclusions, it sought more congenial findings from some economists at the University of California, Berkeley, who are known for research that supports the agenda of the national "Fight for $15" movement. The Berkeley economists were so prompt that their findings were publicized before the University of Washington economists' report was released.
Seattle's city council is as undeterred by constitutional and statutory language as it is by social science. In July, it enacted — unanimously, of course — a city income tax, setting the tax rate on incomes below $250,000 at 0 and a 2.25 percent rate on individuals' incomes above $250,000 and on household incomes above $500,000. Washington, which has no state income tax, has a law that says: "A county, city or city-county shall not levy a tax on net income." The city council, which overestimates its cleverness, claims it is taxing "total income" as defined on IRS 1040 forms. But that is net income, after deductions and exclusions. Furthermore, the state's constitution has this "uniformity clause": "All taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of property." Twice the state Supreme Court has held that a graduated income tax is unconstitutional.
A suit challenging the city council's tax notes that cities, as creatures of the state, have only such taxing authority as is expressly granted by the state Legislature. And the tax is explicitly designed to "test the constitutionality of a progressive income tax," on which Washington's Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled. The city council must hope that the state's Supreme Court, which is very liberal, can be persuaded, in a third consideration of unchanging language, to say that constitutional and statutory facts can be made to disappear in a mist of interpretations.
In 2010, advocates of a progressive income tax submitted this for a referendum. It lost almost 2-to-1 (64-36). It lost even in King County, home of Seattle and its Nietzschean city council.

By: Dorothy Wright
Basketry is among the most widespread and ancient crafts — one that is highly satisfying to both craftspeople and collectors and appealing in utilitarian as well as esthetic terms. Over the centuries, basket-making techniques have been used to manufacture an amazing assortment of items: crab or lobster pots, eel traps, winnowing fans, horse collars, fish creels, seed-gathering baskets, portable stalls used by street vendors, huge "skeps" for sorting wood — even one-person boats (or coracles) and enormous crates for transporting prize livestock to shows. These items and many more are fully described, and often pictured, in this profusely illustrated edition of an authoritative classic.
Dorothy Wright, a lifelong student of basketry and cataloger of the basket collection of the Museum of English Rural Life, charmingly relates the history and geography of a plethora of baskets and gives the specifics of their construction. She provides detailed advice on basket design, materials, techniques, care, and repair, and gives step-by-step instructions (in easy-to-follow "recipe" format) for making an array of baskets, including a tall oval shopping basket, wastepaper basket, lidded picnic basket, all-purpose plate, wine cradle, fruit bowl, cane rattle, carpet beater, and more — made with a wide range of materials including willow, cane, ruch, raffia, straw, grasses, palms, and coppice woods, and by a variety of techniques, including stake-and-strand (wickering), framing or ribbing, coiling, plaiting, and twining.
Craftspeople, collectors, students of traditional crafts, and general readers will find themselves fascinated by this authoritative survey.

Back in 1996, Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible was just another entry in a seemingly never-ending wave of Hollywood big-screen remakes of '60s and '70s television shows. As good as it was, I never imagined at the time that it would be the start of such a venerable franchise and the cornerstone of Tom Cruise's late career (no such luck for Lost in Space, The Mod Squad, or The Saint, all of which followed). Yet, here we are, two decades later, with the fifth installment, Christopher McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation, which builds nicely on the previous installment, Brad Bird's franchise-resuscitating Ghost Protocol (2012).
The film is again headlined by Cruise's Ethan Hunt, the lead agent of the IMF (Impossible Missions Force), although one of the film's primary strengths is the way it spreads the wealth evenly, giving all the major characters plenty of screen time and narrative emphasis. There are, of course, a number of familiar returning faces, including computer genius and all-around comic relief Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), IMF head William Brandt (Jeremy Renner), and stalwart mainstay Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), the only other character besides Ethan who has appeared in every film. The primary new addition is Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), a double (or maybe triple or quadruple) agent who is working for MI-6 to infiltrate the Syndicate, a complex terrorist organization responsible for all manner of destabilizing disasters. Or is she? Ilsa's true loyalties are a huge question mark throughout the movie, which makes her relationship with Ethan particularly fraught. Ilsa is very close to Solomon Lane (Sean Harris), the Syndicate's ruthless leader, which makes her a particularly important asset for Ethan, even as she continually refuses to play by his rules. Ethan's mission is further complicated by the fact that he is a fugitive from his own country since Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin), the head of the CIA, convinces Congress to dissolve the IMF at the beginning of the film.
That's a lot of narrative juggling, but McQuarrie's screenplay (from a story he concocted with Iron Man 3's Drew Pearce) deftly keeps all the balls in the air. This is only the third directorial effort for McQuarrie, who won an Oscar for writing Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects (1995) and previously worked with Cruise on the underrated Jack Reacher (2013), but he manages the action with style and aplomb. The film has a definite sleekness to it, but McQuarrie reserves just enough grit to keep it from looking and feeling like a cartoon (he probably had nothing to do with it, but the film's one-sheet is a nice graphic throwback to hand-drawn '70s movie posters). Unlike the Fast and the Furious films, with which it shares a number of qualities (including the family-like connection among recurring characters operating outside the law to preserve it), Rogue Nation maintains the franchise's style by not slipping into absolute cartoonishness, partially because the films embrace the raw power of stuntwork.
Each film boasts some kind of outlandish moment of real-life derring-do in which Cruise appears to risk life and limb, and Rogue Nation gets right down to brass tacks by putting the money shot of Cruise hanging on the side of a Russian cargo plane as it takes off in the film's opening sequence. It's a daring conceit to put the biggest moment up front, since that risks everything that follows being a letdown, but that's hardly the case. There is nothing else in the film quite that in-your-face outlandish, but the subsequent action setpieces are nothing to sneeze at, either: a high-speed motorcycle chase through the North African desert, an escape from a torture dungeon in London, a thwarted assassination attempt high above the stage of an opera in Vienna, and, of course, a signature "impossible" mission that involves Cruise diving into an underwater abyss and having to hold his breath while swapping out a computer card that will allow his team to steal a crucial list prized by the Syndicate.
At 53, Cruise is still as lithe and hungry as ever, and his age actually enhances the film, suggesting that Ethan, wily and determined as he is, still needs help to get the job done (there is a comical and touching moment in which Benji dramatically insists that he join Ethan on his mission, a point that Ethan almost immediately concedes). His relationship with Ilsa and her undetermined loyalties gives the film a nice undercurrent, one that is sustained by suspense and tension, rather than compulsory romance. There is definitely heat between Cruise and Ferguson, but McQuarrie downplays it nicely, leaving us wanting more. Given the strength of the last two Mission: Impossible films and the purposefully open-ended nature of Rogue Nation's conclusion, there is little doubt that there are more missions to come, and one can only hope that Cruise will continue recruiting good talent in keeping this franchise humming.

Yes indeed I made apple butter this week...LOTS of apple butter...and as I talked on Twitter about the amazing way the smell of baking apples permeated my house, several folks asked me to post my recipe...so here it is!
The recipe I use does make quite a lot...about 4 quarts...but feel free to cut it in half because I've done that in the past and it works fine. It is also usually a 2 day process so give yourself plenty of time. The first stage requires about 2 hours but the second takes all day...you'll only need to be stirring the butter occasionally though so it's not as bad as it sounds.
To start you'll need about 12 pounds of good apples, ones that are crisp and more toward the tart side but not sour. I like Winesaps, Arkansas Blacks, Cortlands, or Macintosh...but use whatever is available locally...and since you won't be peeling these, you'll need to get organic or wash your apples REALLY well with some kind of veggie soap.
Okay you now take your clean apples and core and quarter them and throw them in a big pot. I usually have to use two pots for this part as it's so many apples.
Now you add the yummy extras, for each cup of pulp you'll add 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Stir that all in and then to the whole batch add :
the grated rind and juice of 2 large or 3 small lemons
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamon seed (do this fresh if you can, it makes Such a difference)
1 cup port wine (yep, this is the secret ingredient shhhh)
...I know it sounds like the spice amounts are too small but trust me on this...
Now set this aside to cool.
The next day place 3/4 of the puree in a large oven proof pot and place it in a cold oven. Set to 325F degrees and bring the puree to a simmer. You'll want the pot to simmer all day and as the butter shrinks down you'll add more puree by the cup and stir it well. You may have to adjust the temperature up or down as the day goes by, you don't want a hard boil but you do want it to be evaporating the liquid out and turning into yummy apple butter. It will take time. This batch took about 6 hours, but I did all sorts of other things while it cooked merrily away and my house smelled incredible. One thing you need to do while this is cooking is get your jars, lids, and boiling water bath ready...so do that.
Once you've used up all the puree and it's cooked down to a nice thick consistency (if you're wooden spoon will stand up unsupported it's done!) then it's time to put it into clean sterile jars. Process your jars in a boiling water bath for 10 mins....and you'll have this...
...plus probably some extra to put in the fridge. A nice stash to remember Autumn all year...and enough to give as gifts too.

No study of the person and character of Noah would be complete without viewing him as a type of the Lord Jesus. With one or two notable exceptions it will be beside our purpose to do more than call attention to some of the most striking points of correspondency between the type and the antitype, leaving our readers to develop at greater length these seed thoughts.
1. To begin at the beginning, Noah's very name foreshadowed the Coming One. In Genesis 5:28, 29 we read, "And Lamech lived a hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son; and he called his name Noah." Noah means "rest." His father regarded him as the one who should be the rest-giver, and as one who should provide comfort from the toil incurred by the Curse. "He called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." Lamech looked upon his son as one who should bring deliverance from the Curse, as one who should provide comfort and rest from the weariness of toil. Our readers will readily see how this ancient prophecy (for prophecy it undoubtedly was) receives its fulfillment in the One of whom it was also written, "And His rest shall be glorious" (Isa. 11:10), and who when on earth said, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). But further than this, Noah's name, and the prophecy of his father on the occasion of the bestowment of it upon his son, also looks forward to the time of our Lord's Second Advent when He shall deliver the earth from its Curse- See Isaiah 9; 35, etc.
2. The first thing which is told us in connection with Noah is that he "found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Gen. 6:8). In a previous article we have commented upon the setting of these words and have pointed out the contrast which they are designed to emphasize. "All flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth." The ruinous and ravaging effects of sin were universal. But as God looked down upon the creatures of His hand, now fallen and depraved, there was one who stood out by himself, one who was just and perfect in his generation, one upon whom God's eye delighted to rest. It is very significant that nothing at all is said about Noah's family- his "sons and their wives"- in this connection; Noah only is mentioned, as if to show he is the one on whom our attention should be fixed. When we note what a striking type of our Lord Jesus Noah is, the reason for this is obvious; He is the one in whom the heart of the Father delighted, and just as the first thing told us in connection with Noah is that he "found grace in the eyes of the Lord," so the first words of the Father after the Lord Jesus had commenced His public ministry were, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17).
3. The next thing told us about Noah is that he "was a just man" (Gen. 6:9). As is well known, the word just means "righteous." Like all other sinners who find acceptance with God, Noah was "justified by faith." He possessed no inherent righteousness of his own. Righteousness is imputed, imputed to those that believe (Rom. 4:6, 22-25). There was only one man who has ever walked our earth who was inherently and intrinsically righteous and that was He whom Noah foreshadowed, He of whom the centurion testified, "Certainly this was a righteous man" (Luke 23:47).
4. Next we read that Noah was "perfect in his generations" (Gen. 6:9). In a previous article we have seen that this expression has reference to the body and not to perfection of character. Noah and his family had not been defiled by contact with the Nephilim. "Perfect in his generations'' signifies that Noah was uncontaminated physically. "Perfect in his generations" is predicated of Noah alone; of none other is this said. How plain and perfect the type! Does it not point to the immaculate humanity of our Lord? When the Eternal Word was "made flesh" He did not contract the corruptions of our fallen nature. Unlike all of human kind, He was not "shapen in iniquity and conceived in sin." On the contrary His mother was told, "That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35). In His humanity our Lord was "separate from sinners" (Heb. 7:26). He was uncontaminated by the virus of sin; He was "perfect in His generation."
5. Next we read of Noah that he "walked with God" (Gen. 6:9). In this also he was a type of Him who for thirty-three years lived here in unbroken communion with the Father. All through those years, however varied His circumstances, we find Him enjoying holy and blessed fellowship with the Father. During His early life, in the seclusion of Nazareth we learn that "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52). During the long season of fasting and temptation in the wilderness, we find Him living by "every word of God" (Luke 4:4). While His disciples slept, our blessed Lord retired to the solitudes of the mountain, there to pour out His soul to God and enjoy fellowship with His Father (Luke 6:12). At the close of His sufferings on the Cross we hear Him cry, "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit" (Luke 23:46). Truly His walk was ever "with God."
6. God Gave Noah an Honorous Work to Do "Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. With thee will I establish My covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring in the ark, to keep them alive with thee" (Gen. 6:14, 18, 19). Here we find a work is entrusted to Noah by God, a highly important work, a momentous and stupendous work. Never before or since has such a task been allotted to a single man. The task of preserving from God's judgment representatives of all creation was committed to Noah! The type is so clear and plain that comment is almost needless. To the Lord Jesus Christ, God's beloved Son, was entrusted the task of effecting the salvation of lost and ruined sinners. It is to this He refers when He says, "I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do" (John 17:4)- speaking here as though in Glory, where He now is as our great High Priest.
7. Noah, Alone, Did the Work We shall consider separately the typical significance of the ark; for the moment we would direct attention upon Noah and his work. Is it not striking that there is no reference here to any help that Noah received in the executing of his God-given task? There is no hint whatever that any assisted him in the work of building the ark. The record reads as though Noah alone provided the necessary means for securing the lives of those that God had entrusted to his care! Surely the reason is obvious. The truth which is foreshadowed here is parallel with the typology of Leviticus 16:17- "And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out" when atonement was being made the High Priest must be alone. So it was in the antitype. The work of redemption was accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ, "Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree" (1 Pet. 2:24), and He needed no assistance in this work, for God had "laid help upon One that is mighty" (Ps. 89:19, R.V.). In full harmony then with the Leviticus 16 type, and in perfect accord with its fulfillment in our gracious Savior, we find that the record in Genesis reads as though Noah was alone in his task and received no assistance in the work of providing a refuge from the coming storm of Divine wrath.
8. Moreover, is not the perfection of the type further to be seen in the fact that the inspired record passes over the interval of time necessary for Noah to have performed his task? This is very striking, for many months, and probably years, would be required to build an ark of the dimensions given us in Genesis. But not a word is said about this. After God gave instructions to Noah to build the ark, the next thing we read is, "Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him, so did he. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark" (Gen. 6:22; Genesis 7:1)- as though to show that when he began, his work was speedily accomplished! How much we may learn from the silences of Scripture! Again we call attention to the parallel type in Leviticus 16- "For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord" (v. 30). In Leviticus 23 the Day of Atonement is classed among Israel's great feasts, and by noting this the point we are now making comes out more clearly by way of contrast. Others of these feasts, e.g., Unleavened Bread, Tabernacles, etc., extended over a period of several days, but Atonement was accomplished in one day. Nothing was left over to be completed on the next day; which reminds us of the blessed words of our triumphant Savior- "It is finished." There is nothing now for us to do but rest on His Finished Work. In one day, yes, in three hours, on the Cross, our Lord put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. As we have said, this was anticipated in the typical significance of Noah's work by the silence of Scripture upon the length of time he was engaged in the performance of his task, the record reading as though it was speedily executed.
9. The successful issue of Noah's work, seen in "the saving of his house" (Heb. 11:7) reminds us of the language of Hebrews 3:6, "But Christ as a son over his own house" (Heb. 3:6). But the type goes further: Noah's work brings blessing to all creation as is seen from the fact that the animals and birds were also preserved in the ark. Observe how beautifully this is brought out in Genesis 8:1- "And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark." So, too, the work of Christ shall yet bring blessing to the beasts of the field. At His return to the earth "the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Rom. 8:21).
10. In Genesis 6:19 we have a hint of the animal creation being subject to Noah "And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee." We have a passing glimpse of the yet future fulfillment of this part of the type in Mark 1:13- "And He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts." Noah's headship over all creatures comes out even more clearly in Genesis 9:2- "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered." How this reminds us of Psalm 8, which speaks of the future dominion of the Son of Man. "For Thou hast made Him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned Him with glory and honor. For thou madest Him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet (compare Heb. 2:8), "But now we see not yet all things put under Him, all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; the fowl of the air and the fish of the sea!" This same thought is repeated in the Genesis narrative again and again as if with deliberate emphasis. When we read of the animals entering the Ark we are told "They went in unto Noah (not unto Noah and his family) into the Ark," and then we are told "And the Lord shut him (not Ôthem') in" (Gen. 7:15, 16). And again, on leaving the ark we read that God said unto Noah, "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things" (Gen. 9:3). So Christ is "the Heir of all things" (Heb. 1:2).
11. In Genesis 6:21 we find Noah presented as the great food-provider: "And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them." We need hardly say that this finds its complement in Christ the Bread of Life. He is God's Manna for our souls. He is the Shewbread which was eaten by Aaron and his sons (Lev. 24:9). He is the Old Corn of the land (Joshua 5:11). In short, it is only as we feed upon Christ as He is presented unto us in the written Word that our spiritual life is quickened and nourished.
12. In Genesis 6:22 we learn of Noah's implicit and complete obedience- "Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him, so did he." And again, "And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him" (Gen. 7:5). So, too, we read of the perfect obedience of Him whom Noah foreshadowed: "If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even so I have kept My Father's commandments, and a bide in His love" (John 15:10). Only, be it noted, the obedience of our blessed Lord went farther than that of Noah, for He "became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" (Phil. 2:8)- in all things He has the preeminence.
13. "And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him; every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds went forth out of the ark" (Gen. 8:18, 19). In these verses we see Noah bringing all whom God had committed to his care on to the new earth, which reminds us of our Lord's words, "Of them which Thou gavest Me have I lost none" (John 18:9). However, the fact that the animal creation is here specifically mentioned as sharing in this blessing seems to point to a millennial scene when all creation shall enjoy the benefit of Christ's reign (cf. Isa.11).
14. "And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar (Gen. 8:20). Here we see Noah offering a burnt offering unto the Lord: the and-typical parallel is found in Ephesians 5:2- "Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor."
15. "And God blessed Noah and his sons" (Gen. 9:1). It is beautiful to see Noah and his sons here linked together in the enjoyment of God's blessing, as though to foreshadow the blessed fact that every mercy we now enjoy is ours for Christ's sake." "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3).
16. With Noah and his sons God established His Covenant, "And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you" (Gen. 9:8, 9). The word "covenant" occurs just seven times in this passage, namely, in verses 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17. Note, the covenant that God made with Noah was "an everlasting covenant" (Gen. 9:16), and so we read concerning the anti-type- "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant" (Heb. 13:20).

Debunking Grammar Myths
This week we're joined by a special guest blogger. Patricia T. O'Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, is the author of the national best-seller Woe Is I: The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better English in Plain English, as well as other books about language. She is a regular monthly guest on public radio station WNYC in New York. Learn more at her website, grammarphobia.com. Make her feel welcome!
When I think about the rules of grammar I sometimes recall the story—and it's a true one—about a lecture given in the 1950s by an eminent British philosopher of language. He remarked that in some languages two negatives make a positive, but in no language do two positives make a negative. A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, yeah."
Don't we all sometimes feel like that voice from the back of the room? When some grammatical purist insists, for example, that the subject has to go before the verb, aren't we tempted to reply, "Sez you!"?
English is not so much a human invention as it is a force of nature, one that endures and flourishes despite our best attempts to ruin it. And believe it or not, the real principles of English grammar—the ones that promote clarity and sense—weren't invented by despots but have emerged from the nature of the language itself. And they actually make sense!
So when you think about the rules of grammar, try to think like that guy in the back of the room, and never be afraid to challenge what seems silly or useless. Because what seems silly or useless probably isn't a real rule at all. It's probably a misconception that grammarians have tried for years to correct. There are dozens of ersatz "rules" of English grammar. Let's start with Public Enemy Number 1.
Myth #1: Don't Split an Infinitive.
"Split" all you want, because this old superstition has never been legit. Writers of English have been doing it since the 1300s.
Where did the notion come from? We can blame Henry Alford, a 19th-century Latinist and Dean of Canterbury, for trying to criminalize the split infinitive. (Latin, by the way, is a recurring theme in the mythology of English grammar.) In 1864, Alford published a very popular grammar book, A Plea for the Queen's English, in which he declared that to was part of the infinitive and that the parts were inseparable. (False on both counts.) He was probably influenced by the fact that the infinitive, the simplest form of a verb, is one word in Latin and thus can't be split. So, for example, you shouldn't put an adverb, like boldly, in the middle of the infinitive phrase to go—as in to boldly go. (Tell that to Gene Roddenberry!)
Grammarians began challenging Alford almost immediately. By the early 20th century, the most respected authorities on English (the linguist Otto Jespersen, the lexicographer Henry Fowler, the grammarian George O. Curme, and others) were vigorously debunking the split-infinitive myth, and explaining that "splitting" is not only acceptable but often preferable. Besides, you can't really split an infinitive, since to is just a prepositional marker and not part of the infinitive itself. In fact, sometimes it's not needed at all. In sentences like "She helped him to write," or "Jack helped me to move," the to could easily be dropped.
But against all reason, this notorious myth of English grammar lives on—in the public imagination if nowhere else.
This wasn't the first time that the forces of Latinism had tried to graft Latin models of sentence structure onto English, a Germanic language. Read on.
Myth #2: Don't End a Sentence With a Preposition.
An 18th-century Anglican bishop named Robert Lowth wrote the first popular grammar book to claim that a preposition didn't belong at the end of a sentence (as in, What was this guy up to?). Others before him had made the same claim, notably the poet John Dryden.
This affectation, like the one about not "splitting" infinitives, proved popular with Latin-educated schoolmasters, probably because Latin sentences don't end in prepositions. But the pedants were forgetting one small detail: English isn't a Latinate language, it's Germanic. And in Germanic languages, sentences routinely end in prepositions. Great English literature from Chaucer to Milton to Shakespeare to the King James version of the Bible is stuffed with these "terminal prepositions."
Probably the word "preposition," from the Latin for "position before," suggested to pedagogues that a preposition must never come last. Be that as it may, Curme and Jespersen recognized the final preposition as natural and instinctive, and Fowler went further: "The legitimacy of the prepositional ending in literary English must be uncompromisingly maintained," he wrote. Amen!
Myth #3: And Don't Start a Sentence with a Conjunction.
We've all heard this one too, right? Does it make sense? No. And here's why.
Conjunctions like and and but and or have been used to start English sentences since as far back as the 10th century. This feels natural because it is natural.
Over the years, some English teachers have enforced the notion that conjunctions should be used only to join elements within a sentence, not to join one sentence with another. But there's never been any evidence for this belief. Modern grammarians have insisted for years that conjunctions are properly used to join words, phrases, clauses or sentences.
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Myth #4: None Is Always Singular.
This is nonesense. Though none can be singular, it's much more likely to be plural, as Fowler and many others have pointed out. Why? Because we commonly use it to make a negative statement about all of the members of a class.
See which one sounds more reasonable to you: "None of the dogs bites" (singular), or "None of the dogs bite" (plural). See what I mean? Anyone who prefers the first sentence was probably taught (mistakenly) that none is derived etymologically from "not one" and always means "not one." But authorities including the Oxford English Dictionary trace the origins of none to the Old English word nan (or nane), a pronoun that meant "not any of a number of things" and was commonly plural. It also appears in some Old English texts to mean "no people," with the singular form expressed as "no one."
Consequently, in most cases none is plural and takes a plural verb, as in "None of the windows are broken."
None is singular only when it means "none of it"—that is, "no amount." ("None of the glass is cracked.") If you really do mean "not one," it's better to say "not one."
Myth #5: Whose Can Only Refer to People.
One last hobgoblin. A great many educated people insist that we shouldn't use the word whose to refer to an inanimate object. True believers would never say, "Don't buy a car whose engine is shot." They'd insist on "Don't buy a car the engine of which is shot." Please. This is not only a silly rule—it's a damned awkward one.
This prohibition is a bigger lemon than the car. If you don't believe it, check Fowler. The inanimate "whose," he said, has history, common sense and convenience on its side. And the Oxford English Dictionary says that whose has been used for centuries as the genitive (or possessive) form of what as well as who.
The lesson here? The sillier rules of English grammar aren't genuine rules at all, just misconceptions. When in doubt, go ahead and doubt! A little research may show that while English is a peculiar language, it's not as peculiar as all that. If you'd like to know more about grammar myths, take a look at this page from my website.

Washington, D.C. – The Senate approved an amendment Wednesday to repeal the expanded 1099 information reporting requirements in the health care reform law.
Two similar, but competing amendments were introduced this week by Democratic and Republican lawmakers to be attached to a larger re-authorization bill for the Federal Aviation Administration. One came from Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and the other from Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., who had both introduced earlier attempts to repeal the 1099 reporting requirements.
The two amendments mainly differed in a few words regarding the handling of administrative expenses at the Social Security Administration. To avoid adding to the budget deficit, Stabenow's amendment authorizes the director of the Office of Management and Budget to cut unnecessary unobligated spending, but exempts the Social Security Administration's administrative expenses from being cut. There are also differences in the cost estimates of the two amendments and in how they would be offset.
The repeal of the 1099 reporting requirements enjoyed broad bipartisan support. The requirements, which were included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, would have required businesses to report to the Internal Revenue Service any purchases of goods and services over $600 a year from another business or individual.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., who has tried several times to get the 1099 reporting requirements repealed, hailed the approval of the amendment containing language exempting the Social Security Administration's expenses. The Senate voted 81-17 to reject a point of order that had been raised against the Stabenow amendment.
"We heard small businesses loud and clear, and today both parties came together in a bipartisan manner to respond to their concerns," Baucus said in a statement. "Eliminating these paperwork requirements lets small businesses focus on the critical work of growing their businesses and creating jobs. This amendment is paid for by cutting spending in other areas, but we took the extra steps to ensure that not a thin dime of Social Security money is used. The common-sense solution we passed today delivers the paperwork relief small businesses need while protecting and preserving the crucial Social Security and veterans benefits millions of people in Montana and across the country rely on."
The larger, $34.5 billion FAA legislation enjoys wide bipartisan support and includes $8 billion for airport construction and infrastructure improvement. It also would establish a whistleblower office at the FAA, upgrade air control technologies, and create a national review board that would travel to FAA offices to perform safety audits.
There was no vote on the Johanns amendment on Wednesday. However, he hailed the passage of the repeal, pointing out that the Stabenow amendment was nearly identical to the language of the Small Business Paperwork Elimination Act that he had introduced, which had attracted 61 co-sponsors, including 16 Democrats.
"I'm thrilled that after multiple attempts to repeal this burdensome mandate, the Senate has finally done the right thing in voting to repeal it," Johanns said in a statement. "The small business owners and organizations who stepped forward in opposition to this 1099 overreach were instrumental in sustaining the momentum that has resulted in wide bipartisan support. I look forward to continuing the effort to repeal the health care law and finding true solutions to our health care challenges. This is a big victory for our job creators."
Stabenow also praised passage of the amendment. "Today we provided a common-sense solution for business owners so they can focus on creating jobs, not filling out paperwork for the IRS," she said. "Since last year, I have worked with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address this problem. If left unchecked, 40 million small businesses would see their IRS 1099 paperwork increase 2000 percent."

Tomato chipotle soup with star pasta is a spin on the classic Mexican comfort dish known as sopa de fideo.
I love to make this soup especially during the fall and winter months or on a cool, rainy day. And the star-shaped pasta rather than regular fideo is a fun addition for both adults and kids alike!
Although this soup is really not very spicy at all, if you're worried about picky eaters, you can reduce the amount of chipotle pepper by half or completely replace the actual chile with a few tablespoons of adobo sauce.
Star-shaped pasta is a classic cut that's perfect for introducing kids to the delicious world of pasta, and in Mexico, many children's first experience is with estrellas or fideo.

Rabbi Is New Mystery Focus Of Chris Christie Team In Bridge Mess
By Joseph Tanfani, Tribune Washington Bureau
TRENTON, N.J. — In the mysterious political grudge-fest that spawned the George Washington Bridge traffic pileup, a new object of ire has emerged: a New Jersey rabbi.
A newly released version of a text exchange between David Wildstein and Bridget Anne Kelly, two key figures in the bridge scandal, shows them exchanging barbed jokes about Rabbi Mendy Carlebach of the Chabad of North and South Brunswick — and chaplain to the Police Department at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridges.
Wildstein, appointed to a Port Authority post by Gov. Chris Christie, texted a picture of Carlebach posing with House Speaker John Boehner to Kelly, then working as Christie's deputy chief of staff.
"And he has officially pissed me off," Wildstein wrote, though what the rabbi did to earn that anger isn't spelled out.
"We cannot cause traffic problems in front of his house, can we?" Kelly wrote.
"Flights to Tel Aviv all mysteriously delayed," said Wildstein. (The Port Authority also controls the region's airports.)
Carlebach, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has been around Republican politics for years, and has been a supporter of Christie's. He gave the invocation at the 2004 Republican convention and also attended the last one, in Tampa, Fla., according to Chabad websites. Christie appointed him to a New Jersey Israel Commission. And Christie, in response to appeals from Carlebach and other rabbis at his annual Hanukkah party, allowed menorahs in state prisons.
Carlebach told reporters that he has no idea what spawned the grudge. "None of it makes any sense," he told the Record of New Jersey.
The version released Thursday by a state legislative committee investigating the bridge incident contains some previously redacted details — though it does not explain the decision to redirect traffic leading to the bridge for four days in September, creating epic traffic pileups in Fort Lee.
As the controversy was gathering steam, and Patrick Foye, the New York-appointed chairman of the authority, was criticizing the lane closures, Wildstein got an obscenity-punctuated text from Bill Stepien, Christie's campaign manager: "Who does he think he is, Capt. America?"
"Welcome to our world," Wildstein replied.
The emails include urgent messages from the mayor of Fort Lee, Mark Sokolich, asking Port Authority officials whether the lane closures were directed against him as political payback for his decision not to endorse Christie.
This version shows that Kelly initiated a snarky text exchange with Wildstein during the traffic jam: "I feel badly about the kids. I guess," she wrote.
"They are the children of Buono voters," Wildstein replied, referring to Barbara Buono, who at the time was Christie's Democratic opponent.
Kelly and Stepien have refused to provide documents to the legislative committee, citing their constitutional rights against self-incrimination. A judge has set a March 11 hearing in the case.

The Arizona Cardinals are already set to be without linebacker Daryl Washington for the first four games of the season due to a substance-abuse violation. It could be even longer after Washington was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault for an attack against his former girlfriend last week.
The possible extended void in the middle of the Cardinals defense has prompted the Cardinals look into contingency plans. At the top of the list is a player the franchise is very familiar with. According to Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 in Phoenix, Karlos Dansby is expected to meet with the Cardinals on Wednesday. Dansby played his first six seasons with the Cardinals.
Dansby was released by the Miami Dolphins in March. Since then he has taken visits to the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills but has remained without a job for next season. With Washington's suspension, the Cardinals could hedge their best with Dansby as a fallback option. The Cardinals drafted inside linebacker Kevin Minter out of LSU in the second round as well and he could factor into the depth at the position.
Dansby has recorded 332 tackles and six sacks over the last three seasons for the Dolphins.

This commentary was published in the Sept. 20, 2007, edition of Forbes.com:
Princeton on donor intent
William Robertson recently wrote a commentary for Forbes.com that thoroughly misrepresents the "donor intent" issues raised by his five-year-old lawsuit against Princeton University.
Contrary to what he claims, his lawsuit seeks not to honor donor intent, but to violate it. It seeks not to protect arrangements put in place by his parents 46 years ago, but to overturn them.
Specifically, through his lawsuit he is seeking to seize control of funds that his mother, Marie Robertson, gave to Princeton in 1961. These funds were given for the sole purpose of maintaining and expanding the graduate program of Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. For 46 years, that is exactly how the funds have been used, helping to support a school that does an excellent job of preparing students for careers in government service and related fields. In his commentary, William Robertson never mentions that this was the purpose of his mother's gift.
William Robertson is also seeking to overturn the governance mechanism that his parents established to administer the gift. While referred to as the Robertson Foundation, this entity is not a private foundation, but rather is what the tax code recognizes as a Type 1 supporting organization, which exists solely to support a particular charitable organization, in this case Princeton. This structure was established, as the donor requested, to ensure that Princeton would retain final control over the use of the gift so the University would have the ability to make the kinds of academic decisions and long-term commitments that are essential to sustain a world-class graduate program. The structure was also put in place to maximize the tax advantage to the donor.
Under federal tax law, this organization may not be controlled by the donor or the donor's family. In 1970, Marie's husband, Charles, wrote to the IRS to confirm that the foundation qualified as a supporting organization, noting that the funds had been donated "exclusively for the benefit of Princeton" and that the foundation's governance is "controlled by Princeton." William Robertson wants to overturn both of these expressions of intent by his parents.
The question posed by the litigation is not whether the recipient of a charitable gift has an obligation to fulfill the commitments it makes in accepting the gift. Of course it does, and Princeton has an excellent record of meeting its commitments and sustaining strong relationships with donors over more than two centuries.
Rather, the real questions posed by the litigation are the following:
Can the donor's son re-write a 46-year-old governing gift instrument so he can seize control of the gift?
Can he convince a court that a Type 1 supporting organization should not be governed as federal tax law requires?
Can he convince a court that the supporting organization should be limited to spending only dividends and interest on its investments -- as he proposes -- even though established law allows the spending of capital gains?
Can he convince a court to revisit, item by item, spending decisions made over four decades by educators who used the gift to develop one of the world's preeminent graduate schools of public and international affairs--spending decisions that in this case were overseen by a board on which he has served since 1974 and that his father chaired for the first 20 years of its existence.
In posing these questions, the Robertson lawsuit seeks to redefine some of the fundamental principles of American philanthropy and overturn some of the laws and best practices that govern charitable organizations.
Prior to the filing of the lawsuit, William Robertson and other family members concurred in the decisions of the Robertson Foundation board and praised the work of the Woodrow Wilson School. When he filed the lawsuit, it was over differences about investment strategy, not spending. Over the past three and a half years, the investment strategy that the board approved over his objections has increased the value of the foundation's endowment by more than $300 million.
In his commentary, William Robertson fails to mention that his lawsuit and his accompanying public relations campaign are being funded by a private foundation he heads (the Banbury Fund) that is supposed to be devoted to charitable purposes. His use of that fund to cover the very substantial costs of the lawsuit illustrates his willingness to use private foundation funds for other than their intended purposes. Further information about this and other aspects of the lawsuit can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/robertson/about/.
Finally, William Robertson refers to the federal government's need for new talent without even mentioning the key leadership role that the Woodrow Wilson School plays in identifying and addressing this challenge. For example, in cooperation with the Partnership for Public Service, the school has recently created a prestigious new Scholars in the Nation's Service Initiative to encourage more of the nation's very best students to pursue careers in the federal government. At a national conference later this fall, Princeton University, the Woodrow Wilson School and the Partnership will seek to encourage many other colleges and universities to develop similar programs.

Finally, there is no guarantee that the chain of abductions would end with the one committed by you. A parent who has re-abducted a child may have to go to extraordinary lengths to conceal his or her whereabouts, living in permanent fear that the child may be re-abducted yet again.
If you are contemplating such desperate measures, we advise you to consider the emotional trauma inflicted on a child who is a victim of an abduction and a re-abduction. We discourage re-abduction not only because it is illegal, but also because of possible psychological harm to the child.

River to the Sea - Relaxation Music Australia
|Good Morning Matthew,
I just wanted to let you know that your music is just lovely. I have to set my alarm to get up early to go to work. I have one of those "CD Alarm Clocks", and I use my copy of River to the Sea . I find that to wake up slowly and quietly using your relaxing nature music means that I tend to be able to spend (most !) of the day smiling.....
Barb S . - New York, NY USA.
While doing some research into how the human body relaxes, my musical partner - Rick Plumridge - and I discovered that the secret to relaxation is to slow down your heart rate .
People have known for hundreds of years that music can effect our emotions and how we feel.
Classical composes such as Beethoven and Mozart knew this, and thus could skillfully create music to influence their audiences mood. They wrote "happy" allegros, energetic Waltzes or "sad" sonata orchestrations, depending on what they wanted to achieve at the time.
Rock bands, Dance Music DJs and Night Club owners all know that the human body wants to get up and dance when the music is loud and at 120 beats-per-minute or faster.
Rick and I applied the same techniques when we wrote the music for River to the Sea . We deliberately wrote all of the songs at or around 72 beats-per-minute. This is the "at rest" standard human heart beat rate.
The human body reacts to its surrounding environment. So, placing yourself into an environment that is conducive to relaxation, such as listening to the relaxing nature music of River to the Sea, will allow you and your body to begin the relaxation process - slowing down your heart rate.
Slowing your heart rate then in turn can set off a bit of a chain reaction. It slows the mind. It can allow you to temporarily and deliberately push bad feelings or thoughts aside. It can calm you down. It makes resting easier. It makes it easier to fall asleep.
|Hi Matthew,
I regularly have to spend the day interstate for work.
Flying back from Melbourne on a business trip recently, I heard your relaxation music on the In Flight Entertainment program.
I had been dreading this particular trip - a long commute to the airport, followed by the inevitable late landing, followed by another long trip into the Melbourne CBD, long and boring meetings, followed by the tedious late night return home to Sydney.
However, once I had my headphones on and was listening to one of your songs - Reflections , from River to the Sea - it seemed that suddenly I was landing. Your relaxing nature music allowed me to "tune out" so much that I didn't notice the hour long flight ! Thank you !!
Simon L . - North Ryde, Sydney.
Warning - Stress is contagious !! Just like when one person in your family sneezes, very soon the rest of you will catch cold. It is the same with stress - those around you can feel your tension, and become tense themselves.
There are many many benefits associated with relaxation.
Relaxation will help you to:
Relaxation has no side effects, and feels great.
There are many different relaxation techniques - all of which involve "tuning out" from where you might be currently.
Perhaps the most widely used method of relaxation is to listen to calm, soothing music and sounds.

as well as a simply beautiful music experience.

Delight to the wondrous sounds during this incredible journey - splash with the Platypus in the shallows of a river, bound into the bush with a Kangaroo, laugh with the Kookaburras. Visualise the splendid colours of Rosellas and Lorikeets as they fly by and imagine fog enshrouded eucalyptus trees as bellbirds sing to one another.
Finally, let the waves surround you, soothing....., as you are taken up into the clouds, back to the mountains, to begin the journey again...

|Hi Matthew,
I'm currently seeing a hypnotherapist to see if I can get more sleep ! I'm hopeless at meditation - can't sit still so meditation drives me nuts. I'm better at stretching or moving around - and your relaxation music helps to slow me down !
I really enjoy the Aussie influence to your music! I have passed on your website to a few interested friends.
Thanks so much - the bonus ebooks also have some great information.
Sue L . - Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Wilsons Promontory National Park - the southern most tip of the Australian mainland - was our next stop for our field recordings. "The Prom", as it is affectionately known, is about 5 hours drive South East from Melbourne and is home to an abundance of wildlife.
Kangaroos, emus and wombats are everywhere. We took our recording gear and our tents and set up camp. We wandered into the bush, setup our gear, pressed "record" and wandered away. Coming back half an hour later we were amazed to find a kangaroo sniffing the microphone !! Listening back to our recording we could clearly identify the hopping sounds of the arriving Kangaroo, its sniffing, our footsteps then the hurried hops of the fleeing Kangaroo !! Of course we edited out our footsteps in the final release :-)
Wilsons Prom is also where we recorded some great seagulls and the sounds of the crashing waves. The out-take recordings of when our very expensive microphone (and me as I was holding it !!) was hit by a massive and unexpected wave are very amusing.....

Well here we are, January 3.
In the theme of mind/body/spirit wellness from the inside-out, I thought I'd share my secret weapon. A special drink that I enjoy with my breakfast just about everyday that packs a punch in the nutrition department.
Now, this is a delicate post, because truthfully, in eating disorder recovery, healthy eating can be taken to a debilitating and dangerous extreme, in what's called orthorexia.
And after Monday's post, I just wanted to clarify something: Before I start, I am in no way encouraging a "juice fast." I have never and will never partake in one. Everything in moderation. Including moderation itself. I like to think of juicing as a great supplement to a healthy diet — it's like drinking a delicious vitamin!
And given how much it helped strengthen my mom's brain function during her stroke recovery, I had to share, IMHO, the nectar of the gods!
All that being said, drinking a green juice with breakfast or as a snack can be a great kickstart to getting your body back on track and into health mode if, say, you've spent the last two weeks drinking egg nog like water, and eating your weight in Christmas cookies.
That's right! Kinda a "no brainer," but green juice is suuuuper healthy. Drinking fresh pressed juice provides your body with a highly concentrated dose of vitamins and minerals. Plus, when you drink it within 20 minutes of pressing, the live enzymes from the juice actively repair the cells of your body! Juicing also strengthens your immune system, builds strong bones, helps with weight maintenance, and gives you an energy boost too 🙂 Plus it's delicious. What's not to love?
During my mom's stroke recovery, I made her one of these every afternoon. The active enzymes helped to rebuild her brain cells and provide specific healing minerals for memory and brain function.
Juice can also be great for an afternoon pick me up! When the 3 o'clock slump hits, who needs Starbucks when you can enjoy a green juice?!
Now, you may be thinking … "enjoy" and "green juice" in the same sentence? This girl has lost her marbles. Well, not quite.
You see, there's system to making green juice taste great, while still packing in the dark leafy greens.
Enter: the "trinity" of all your juicing needs: GINGER, LEMON, & GREEN APPLE!
Yep! Just make sure to include half a lemon, an apple, and 1 inch nub of ginger in your juice and you'll be all set!
Additionally, I like to stick to a 70/30 (or a 60/40 if you're new to juicing) ratio of vegetables to fruit. 70% of what you add should be veggies, and 30% should be fruit for the most delicious and nutritious bevvy.
So here's my go-to juice recipe that I will often have with breakfast:
Caralyn's Standard Green Juice (Serves One)
What you Need:
4 stalks of celery
2 carrots
5 stalks of kale
1/2 cucumber
1 green apple
1/2 lemon (peeled)
1 inch nub of peeled, fresh ginger
Juicer – (This is the one I have and love)
Good knife
Cutting board
This is my favorite juice. It's sweet and tangy with a "zing" from the ginger. I'm not kidding guys: you can't taste the kale.
You could even get the kids excited about drinking this "Shrek Juice!"
Final Tips:
- Put a plastic bag in the "garbage" part of your juicer — where the pulp is discarded. That way, you won't have to clean the basket, because it's all in the bag! (Because, let's be honest: cleaning the juicer can be a pain.)
- If you're pinched for time, make a double or triple batch ahead of time. Three juices – One cleaning of the machine. Just be sure to store them in a sealed glass container in the fridge. They keep for up to 2 days. Just be sure to shake before drinking!
- You can peel ginger with a SPOON! Yep! So much easier, and less dangerous too!
- Be sure to peel the skin off of the lemon. The skin gives the juice a bitter taste.
- Even with the "holy trinity," if you still think it needs to be sweeter, you can add a few drops of honey or pure liquid stevia. (Just be sure to use alcohol free.)
- Finally, drink your juice out of a wine or martini glass! It make you feel special and that you're treating yourself — because you are!! 😀

Geithner sees 'political theater' in search for fiscal-cliff deal
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says that fending off the fiscal cliff is possible, but acknowledges "there's going to be a lot of political theater" first.
"This is something we can do," he said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "And I think we're going to get there, because there's too much at stake not to get there, not just for the American economy, but for the world economy."
Geithner made the rounds on Capitol Hill last week, detailing the Obama administration's opening offer.
"That's what we're going to work toward," Geithner said, describing the mix of revenue raisers and approach to spending cuts again on CNN. But, he added, "Now, there's no surprise...there's going to be a lot of political theater between now and when we get there."
