When theball came to Kemba Walker Thursday night, virtually the entire Bucknell defense followed. A guard traced his every move. A post player moved up to seal his path to the lane. Another guard closed in from the side.
"They want to throw two, three guys at me," Walker said with a dismissive smile. "Pffft … no problem."
Walker spoke amid another kind of attention, one he's just as familiar with. And with the typical horde of media surrounding him in the UConn locker room, he went on about the attention that truly matters: How teams try to stop him at all costs, and how that's not going to work.
Walker had a career-high 12 assists as the third-seeded Huskies defeated No. 14 Bucknell 81-52 in their NCAA Tournament opener at the Verizon Center before 17,706. Walker also had a game-high 18 points, but the way he ran the offense, finding ignored teammates for open shot after shot, was what made this a runaway.
PHOTOS: UConn, Cincinnati Prepare For NCAA Match-Up
"You load up on Kemba," said Jim Calhoun, who picked up his 850th career victory, "and you're going to …"
Be broken down. That's how it played out on this night, anyway, as the Huskies (27-9) advanced to face sixth-seeded Cincinnati Saturday night at 9:40.
Roscoe Smith had a career-high 17 points and Jeremy Lamb added 16. Those two freshmen, and others, sent an early message to Bucknell and came up with a sustained string of answers that led to Calhoun saying, "I thought we were brilliant, offensively."
They were really good in all areas, outrebounding Bucknell 49-23 and holding the Bison to 31.4 percent shooting. The Huskies, who have won six in a row for the second time this season, shot 48.5 percent. Smith made 7 of 13 shots and Lamb 6 of 9.
UConn was bigger, taller, faster and deeper. Alex Oriakhi had nine points and 12 rebounds. Shabazz Napier added seven points. Walker also had eight rebounds, finishing just two boards shy of the seventh official triple-double in NCAA Tournament history. His 12 assists are a UConn NCAA Tournament record.
"Every time I came off a pick, basically he had two guys on him," Oriakhi said. "They didn't know that we have other players on the team that could actually score and are very good as well."
The Huskies played a nearly flawless first half and led 39-22 at the break. They opened the second half with a 23-5 run. The lead peaked at 41, when it was 73-32. By the end, walk-on Ben Stewart even had a bucket.
Mike Muscala had 14 points and Bryson Johnson 11 for Bucknell (25-9), which had just one offensive rebound to UConn's 13.
"It's a real risk," coach Dave Paulsen said of loading up on Walker. "We felt like we were going to have to pick our poison. But to give up 13 offensive rebounds, I thought that was more problematic. And then we were stuck on 20 [points] for what seemed like two years. If you're going to beat a team like UConn, you have to score, too. And we were kind of like that football team whose defense is on the field the whole time and the offense goes three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out."
Bucknell decided to try to limit penetration. It didn't matter. Smith had a powerful and-1 dunk early, Lamb hit some open shots, Smith a few more and everything was loosened up. And then Walker was just zipping the ball around to different options, and going on to add 12 second-half points.
UConn made it all look easy. Of course, there will be bigger, taller, faster and deeper opponents in the future, starting Saturday, but this was exactly the springboard the Huskies were looking for. Long after the game, Walker reflected on the early portion of the season, when the offense was based solely on his ability to score.
There were some frustrating times.
"Oh my God, yes," Walker said. "We would put in simple plays and they couldn't even run them, so I was like, 'It's going to be a long year in terms of running offense.' But as days went on, as weeks went on, as months went on, we started to get it, things started to click, guys started to learn different options. It's all working for us now."

Nov. 8, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), and the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced their post-season women's volleyball accolades this week. First-time honorees Alex May, Amanda Morris, Frances Rogoz, Carrie Buchanan, and head coach Paul Dill represented MIT in each organization.
May received Rookie of the Year plaudits in the NEWMAC and was named the AVCA New England Rookie of the Year. In addition, she was a NEWMAC All-Conference Second-Team pick and was chosen to the AVCA All-New England Team. Morris was selected to the NEWMAC All-Conference First Team, the AVCA All-New England Team, and the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Second Team for the first time in her career. Buchanan earned AVCA All-New England and CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Third-Team accolades. Rogoz was named to the NEWMAC All-Conference Second Team and was an AVCA All-New England Honorable Mention.
Dill collected his first Tachikara/AVCA Division III New England Region Coach of the Year award after leading MIT to a 31-5 record as it heads into its second consecutive NCAA Tournament. Despite losing three starters to graduation, he built on a 29-9 2005 season to direct the Engineers to a second-place finish in the NEWMAC. Ranked in the top three in all three NCAA New England Regional Rankings, MIT has also received votes on four CSTV/AVCA Division III Top 25 Coaches Polls. Entering his 11th season, Dill was ranked among the top 10 active Division III coaches in career win percentage, and currently has an MIT-best career record of 295-100. The Engineers have reached the 20-plus win mark in all 11 seasons with Dill at the helm, and recorded their second 30-plus win season during his tenure.

Mr. Coggin, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Gonzalez, Mr. Halverson, Ms. Hicks, Ms. Kendrick, Dr. Solano, Dr. Taylor, Ms. Thompson, Mr. Twomey
Dr. Abdullah, Ms. Crawford, Mr. Watterson
Chair Thompson convened the workshop.
The workshop began with a discussion of a proposed settlement in the Association of General Contractors lawsuit with various state agencies and the University of Florida and Florida A&M University over issues related to procurement and purchasing with minorities. In particular, the AGC lawsuit argued that One Florida did not go far enough in eliminating race, ethnicity, or gender from consideration in making contract awards. The proposed settlement called for all of Florida's universities to sign on to the terms of the agreement, which would last for ninety-nine years.
During the discussion on the proposed settlement, trustees raised issues about the wisdom of signing an agreement for a lawsuit in which the University was not named as a defendant. Other trustees questioned the length of the agreement, as this area of law has had major shifts over the last several years. The discussion ended with the consensus that more information was needed before considering any decision on this agreement.
The next topic covered in the workshop was the framework for a strategic plan. The first element of the framework discussed was the four commitments proposed earlier by Trustee Halverson: A commitment to excellence, a commitment to focus, a commitment to relevance, and a commitment to accountability. The group felt that these would serve well as foundational or guiding principles in structuring a vision and a plan for the University of North Florida.
Upon reaching agreement on the four guiding principles, the trustees considered a set of mission statements, including one proposed by the faculty's strategic planning committee, two redrafts of this proposed mission statement, and the current and past statements. Based on this review, the Board felt most comfortable with the redraft which read: The University of North Florida's primary commitment is to instruction, with scholarship and community involvement playing vital roles. The University provides a comprehensive array of degree programs, with a targeted focus on select programs where the University is a national leader.
Generally, trustees felt that the direct simplicity of the statement was a virtue. Some suggested that it might need minor changes to make it more exciting. The trustees recommended that the shorter mission statement be given to the faculty committee for review and comment.
Upon concluding the discussion of the mission statement, the trustees talked about President Delaney's nine key elements, around which he felt the University might structure its strategic plan.
The discussion around these was robust, with most of it focused on the concepts of continuous improvement, accountability, and flagship programs. Provost Kline, Trustee Solano, and Dean Serwatka presented the faculty viewpoint, outlining the reservations that faculty have when discussing accountability. President Delaney talked about how existing accountability measures used by universities were most often pass-fail tests, as opposed to measures of level of quality.
The Board's final topic of discussion was in regard to its own operation: Does the Board have the correct committee structure? How often should the Board meet? During this discussion, trustees recommended continuing the existing committee structure, but with the addition of vice chairs to the committees. Trustees also recommended developing a meeting schedule with fewer business meetings and more workshops where Board members would be able to discuss broad issues.
The workshop adjourned at 12:00.

Conscience and Autonomy
In a conference held by Catholics for Choice last winter, dozens of bright people gathered to discuss the meaning of conscience and autonomy. Do they coexist or are they in opposition? How did those concepts develop, and what role have they played in determining our beliefs about abortion and other reproductive health issues?
Featuring articles fueled from our conference, this issue of Conscience magazine goes to the very heart of why we are Catholics for Choice: a belief in both autonomy and conscience.
press release
Statement from Jon O'Brien, President of Catholics for Choice, on Whole Woman's Health Decision
27 June - Our faith's teachings demand that we respect the conscience-based decisions people make, including the right to continue or end a pregnancy. This ruling is a step in the right direction. Still, it is essential that we not take it for granted. Read more.
Catholic Groups Call on US Bishops to Build 'A Church for Our Daughters'
"A Church for Our Daughters," a grassroots movement organized by 30 Catholic-rooted organizations, gathered outside of the US bishops' June meeting to present "A Declaration for Our Daughters," calling for church leaders to strike down every oppressive practice, teaching and law that assigns women and girls to a subordinate status. Read more.
In TIME, CFC's domestic program senior associate, Glenn Northern, writes that we must demand a church that respects the rights, conscience, autonomy, skills and vision of all its members.
Patricia Miller of Religion Dispatches describes the movement and declaration as an effort to "publicly spell out the kind of church many Catholics would like to see."
Press Release
Catholics Agree: Real Religious Liberty Means Do No Harm
18 May 2016 - Catholics for Choice joined some 40 organizations voicing their support for the Do No Harm Act, announced today by Representatives Joe Kennedy (D-MA) and Bobby Scott (D-VA). The Do No Harm Act would amend the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) to protect the religious, civil and conscience-based rights of individuals.
Press Release
Statement by Jon O'Brien, President of Catholics for Choice, on Zubik v. Burwell Decision
16 May 2016 - Jon O'Brien, president of Catholics for Choice, issued the following response to the Supreme Court's disappointing decision in Zubik v. Burwell.
Can Faith and Freedom Co-Exist?
Religious freedom has become a contentious issue in the United States. This year, political candidates and religious groups have appropriated the term "religious freedom" to use as license to discriminate against those who hold different values and moral viewpoints. During our one-day forum at the European Parliament, "Religion, Human Rights and a Secular Europe: Can Faith and Freedom Co-exist?" policymakers, journalists, activists and leaders of NGOs discussed the most pressing facets about religious freedom and the extreme religious lobby's escalating demands. What role should religion play in a secular state? This issue explores that question.
Religious Freedom under Siege: Why Zubik v. Burwell Matters
On March 23, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Zubik v. Burwell, the latest challenge to the no-cost birth control benefit for employees under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Zubik is a consolidation of seven cases brought by nonprofit religious organizations and dioceses pushing for more exemptions after the disastrous Hobby Lobby v. Burwell decision of June 2014. In reality, Zubik is part of the Catholic hierarchy's long fight to preserve their authority, or at least protect their business interests. It represents a profoundly harmful interpretation of religious freedom. Read more.
Read everything you need to know about Zubik v. Burwell and the big business of Catholic nonprofits.
Catholics for Choice joined nine other Catholic organizations in filing a "friend of the court" brief with the Supreme Court of the United States.
Listen to our press conference with members of the Coalition for Liberty & Justice for an in-depth analysis of the case.
More than 30 members of the Coalition for Liberty & Justice urge the Supreme Court to protect real religious freedom and access to contraception.
Catholics to Pope Francis: Act Now and Respect the Consciences and Reproductive Rights of Women
In advance of the papal visit to Mexico, Catholics for Choice delivered an urgent message to Pope Francis about the Zika epidemic in the International New York Times. The ad is part of a campaign that will also appear in El Salvador asking Francis to do the right thing for Latin American women. Invoking the parable of the Good Samaritan, the open letter asks Francis to show true pastoral leadership. Read more in English and Spanish.
In TIME, Jon O'Brien asks Pope Francis to lift the ban on abortion and birth control.
On his way to Mexico, Pope Francis signed a joint statement with Patriarch Kirill that misrepresents the true meaning of secularism and seeks to impose their beliefs on others. Read Jon O'Brien's response.
Can Faith and Freedom Co-exist?
The debate over religious freedom will continue to be a key issue in the United States and Europe. Religious lobbies are pressuring policymakers for exemptions or for permission to impose their views on the rest of society.
"Can Faith and Freedom Co-exist?" a new film produced by Catholics for Choice on behalf of the Global Interfaith and Secular Alliance, answers the pressing questions about religious freedom, secularism and extremism.

Oh, they definitely learn how to work for it!
IMHO, pumps are great for working moms and moms with real supply issues and moms who want to leave bottles. For a mom who just wants to nurse and is able to nurse, using a pump introduces an unnecessary variable into the mix. Give your LO a chance to figure out how to be a good nurser, and odds are excellent that you will never need to touch a pump unless you want to.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Lester has a quizzical head tilt; he was hit by a car some time ago. From his Wyandanch stoop, this big Chihuahua watched while Little Shelter workers weighed and wormed his puppies. Then it was Papa's turn. They'll be back next month to give the pups a distemper booster. So far the owner doesn't want to surrender the litter to Little Shelter or neuter Lester, but they'll keep asking...gently.
Little Shelter knows that there is more to animal welfare more to animal welfare than the Cinderella stories. At their shelter on Warner Rd. in Huntington, rescuers can strive for the fairy tale endings the neglected dog or cat now adopted into a doting home. Little Shelter's mission ventures far beyond. Their Animal Soup Kitchen (ASK) travels into low income areas to provide free pet food, medicine, shelter and spay/neuter. Guard dogs on chains; pitbull puppies in back yard pens; feral cats rummaging for food may not live "happily ever after", but their quality of life is vastly improved.
ASK is based on Training Wheels(r), the brainchild of acclaimed animal behaviorist Sue Sternberg. Her progressive program, successful in places like the South Bronx and Harlem, combines intervention, education and outreach with the goal of bringing the services of a shelter to the people before the people bring their pets (and their pets' progeny) back to the shelter. Little Shelter's ASK van has wandered Little Shelter's through Wyandanch for 2 years. Last week 87 homes were on the list for monthly deliveries of more than 6,000 pounds of pet food. Drop offs of insulated igloo doghouses and straw for bedding have stepped up, now that winter is near. Workers are sure to mention that the straw goes inside the igloo.
Led by Little Shelter's dog coordinator, Linda Klampfl, also an RN, the team began in '04 by knocking on doors, offering food, shots, and what seems, to some but not all, like the ultimate bonus- free pet neutering. Although ASK workers do not condone outdoor tethering, or pit pups sold for profit, or dogs kept hungry to make them mean, their approach is soft and firm, yet non-judgmental... something, I must admit, that comes hard for me. They were ready to throw me back in the van when I started with the "let Little
Shelter neuter your male now and take your tiny female for a C-section when her pups are due" spiel. Linda and the vet techs, leave their card, then quietly remind the ASK families to call, if they want help.
Though not oblivious to gang and drug dealing nearby, the grassroots effort operates one on one and relies on rapport with the community. ASK volunteers have earned trust and aid those, who for financial reasons, be it poverty or priority, cannot afford or are unaware of basic pet care. At times expensive ATVs intersperse the chained dogs. Once each month 3 ASK vehicles make the big delivery with "ice cream man" fanfare. If no one is home, the food is piled by the door. Everyone knows Linda by name. Cars stop to join the program. She adds their names to her overflowing clipboard. Monitoring ongoing medical concerns, she checks vision on a partially blind cat; the healing of a bitten ear; and sets up a new pen where a pup was hospitalized for a rare canine tetanus infection, reminding the young owner, one more time, to cement the floor.
Weekly, vet tech, Elizabeth Moschner, known locally as "Miss Liz", does the pick ups for spay/neuter. The animals return home the next day. So far, 177 pets have been altered via ASK. Last trip 2 potential patients in crates relaxed (a third owner wasn't home) while Miss Liz finished her stops. With the strength of a tiny teamster, she recycled an igloo because these plastic dog domes cost $100 each. Later she dropped off more food, buckle collars, eye ointment, applied mange cream to pups to keep the skin condition from spreading. The trapping of some fe- ral cats for TNR would have to wait a few more days.
Earlier intervention: other Little Shelter workers visit Wyandanch elementary and middle schools twice a week to teach humane education, to regard pets as precious, not merely property. The kids explore their needs vs. the animals' needsin this head start toward kindness. Classes at LaFrancis Hardiman School are giving back now by collecting "Pennies for Puppies".
The idea of spay/neuter meets with resistance in needy neighborhoods for a variety of reasons. For some owners, the incentive toward the simple surgery is the free exam or inoculations for a pet. Linda hopes to institute another facet of Training Wheels(r) soon. "LugNuts", a dog weight pulling contest, is an alternative to illegal dog fighting. Strong dogs compete for cash prizes; spayed/neutered champions win double.
With welcome wags, ASK pups, like Pogo the Shepherd in his new comfy pen, recognize Linda and the Little Shelter crew too. His owner is proud of Pogo's recent weight gain. Because of an expanding demand for help, the ASK program is distributing more supplies than Little Shelter collects. You can help with donations of money, pet food, dog houses (used or new), or even by buying a $100 chance in "Little Shelter's 6th Annual Mercedes Raffle". Only 600 tickets will be sold. On 11/19 you might be lucky enough to drive away in a '07 Mercedes- Benz C-230 or walk away with $25,000 in cash. Contact: email@example.com . Animal Soup Kitchen is Little Shelter's ounce of prevention, pound of cure, ton of compassion. By donating, the rest of us can help pull this weight.
"Elmo", one of the poster pups this week is at Little Shelter (368-8770). He's a 2 yr. old Tree Walking Coonhound mix, who likes other dogs. This handsome fellow was rescued from a Virginia shelter. There's also "Susie" a tiny blind Poodle from Babylon Shelter.
The rest on the list are still waiting at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon, situated right near ASK's route, underlining one more reason why the Town needs to establish a mandatory spay/neuter program prior to adoption. "Jordan" in Cage 9 is a Lab with a wonderful temperament. See more photos on Petfinder.
Males: "Jake"- a 7 mon. Siberian Husky in Cage 1; "Angelo"- a 2 yr. Rat Terrier in Cage 33.
Females: "Tinker Bella"- the lovely spayed gray tabby in C-8; "Rapunzel"- a friendly Pit mix in Cage 51; a chocolate Lab in Cage 79. Also a brother/sister Chihuahuas found at K-Mart.

When you are connected to the Internet, you actually have two different IP addresses, a private LAN IP and a public WAN IP.
In most home network applications the router connects your local group of computers and devices known as the LAN with the Internet, commonly called the WAN or Wide Area Network.
The router usually assigns unique local IP addresses to all of the devices connected to it via a service known as DHCP. The addresses assigned by your router are private addresses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_net… and are not routable across the Internet.
Your cable or DSL modem will get a Public WAN IP address from your ISP. These public IP addresses are leased in blocks by your ISP and are Internet routeble. The DSL or cable modem is connected to the WAN port on your router. The router will manage the traffic between the devices on the LAN and the Internet.
So, your LAN connected devices will all have unique private IP addresses assigned by the router and share the WAN IP connection via the router. No one else can have the same WAN IP as you at the same time or the Internet servers would not know where to send the data packets.
The only IP address that a website or outside device can see is your public WAN IP.
You can see your current public WAN IP address here: http://www.mywanip.com/ or https://www.whatismyip.com/
Depending on your ISP your public WAN IP address might be dynamic (changing periodically) or static (fixed).
If you have a static WAN IP, the only way to change it would be to call your ISP. However if you have a dynamic WAN IP you can usually get your ISP to generate a new one by unplugging your broadband modem for a few minutes and then restoring power. Just cycle power, do not press the reset button.

LONDON — From one old nemesis to another.
The U.S. Men's Senior National Team has hit what they expect to be the halfway point of their Olympic experience, and in the middle they're finishing up group play with games with familiar foes that will force this team to reveal itself.
Saturday's 99-94 win over Lithuania was closer than perhaps anyone expected after their record-setting win over Nigeria. But Monday's final warm-up game against Argentina (5:15 p.m. ET), should it be a close game, won't surprise anyone in the U.S. camp.
They are prepared to scrap for gold and insist they are right on course, whether they win big or not.
"The big wins freaked people out. They probably thought every game was going to be like Tunisia or Nigeria," said U.S. reserve swingman James Harden of the 47-point and 83-point beating administered to those two teams last week. "We knew that wasn't realistic. It was bound to happen, that we would let up a little coming off of that 83-point victory. Even when you're not trying to, it's hard not to be really confident. Obviously, we needed that [Lithuania] game to get us back on track. Argentina and the rest of these guys we are about to face are something special. And we have to be ready for whatever they throw at us."
Much like Lithuania Saturday, Argentina will show up with a seasoned group that has tasted success against the U.S. in international competition before.
They beat the U.S. at the 2002 World Championship in Indianapolis and ended the U.S. gold medal big two years later in the Olympics in Athens, disposing of a team LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony played on in the semifinals on their way to gold. Argentina holds the distinction of being the only team to defeat the U.S. twice since the original Dream Team ushered in the NBA-included era of international basketball.
With program stalwarts like Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola leading the way and the knowledge that no lead is safe against this team, they won by just six after enjoying a huge early lead in a friendly contest just a few weeks ago in Spain, this last game of pool play is much more than just a formality for both sides.
"They are more than just Ginobili and Scola," Kevin Love said. "Manu might be the heart and soul of their team. But they have tons of talent, they are well-coached and they get up into you in ways that teams that haven't been together as long and haven't had as much success cannot. They know exactly who they are and what they want to do every time they take the floor."
U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski indicated that his team needed the last month to find out the same things about themselves.
"When we started out, the context of what we were dealing with, and that is a condensed NBA season, an earlier Olympics and four guys who have been in The Finals, and then we have to go through a selection process and a lot of injuries," Krzyzewski said, "what we wanted to do is get to a point in the last week of the Olympics where we were healthy, together and we knew who we were. And we're there. We could played much better in a game [Saturday] and also, we couldn't have played any better than we did the game before. So where we're at today is where we had hoped we would be, because we're in complete health, in complete agreement and completely focused on this, knowing that we have four tough games ahead of us now, starting with this last pool game against Argentina."
Krzyzewski loves to talk about his team's spirit and camaraderie, the fact that they are unselfish ("almost to a fault") and have the utmost respect for their competition.
But until Saturday, they really hadn't been tested. No one was sure how they would respond in a tight game, how they would act with the outcome in doubt and needing someone to step up at crunch time.
They answered those questions in the closing minutes against Lithuania. They might very well have to do it again against Argentina.
"We're ready for the final week and our guys are anxious," Krzyzewski added. "I think they'll play their best basketball this week."
So will everyone else.
"That's the way you want it when you're fighting for a gold medal," Harden said. "These other teams came here for the same thing. And you have to know they're going to go after it the same way we will. It's all or nothing now."

President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner said Friday that they want to work together to avert spending cuts and tax increases that could throw the economy back into a recession – but both also come to the negotiations with the same sharp differences they had before this week's elections.
The key divide involves income tax rates. Obama wants to continue the Bush-era rates, which are scheduled to expire at the end of the year, for families that make less than $250,000 annually. Republicans say the current rates should continue for everyone, including the wealthy.
The president spoke at the White House for the first time since his decisive win Tuesday over Republican Mitt Romney, and he maintained that most Americans support his "balanced approach" of cutting spending while raising taxes on the rich.
"I want to be clear: I'm not wedded to every detail of my plan," Obama said. "I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas. I'm committed to solving our fiscal challenges. But I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."

Boehner, an Ohio Republican, who spoke on Capitol Hill earlier in the day, said he was open to compromise on virtually everything – except higher taxes.
"Everyone wants to get our economy moving again," he said. "Everyone wants to get more Americans back to work again. Raising tax rates will slow down our ability to create the jobs everyone says they want."
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took a harder line.
"There is no consensus on raising tax rates, which would undermine the jobs and growth we all believe are important to our economy," he said. "While I appreciate and share the president's desire to put the election behind us, the fact is we still have yet to hear an actual plan from the president for addressing the great economic challenges we face."
Democrats quickly fired back. "The president's message today was as clear as the outcome of the election," said House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md.
Obama won re-election with 50.5 percent of the popular vote, and the Democrats increased their majority in the Senate. The party expects to control 55 seats next year, up from the current 53. But Republicans will retain control of the House of Representatives with a strong majority.
Obama and congressional leaders of both parties will meet next Friday at the White House, the day before the president leaves for a three-nation Asian visit, to begin discussing ways to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff. He also plans to speak with business, labor and civic leaders.
Obama and Boehner said they were ready to talk. They negotiated last year and came close to a "grand bargain" on spending cuts and revenues. But the same problem that dogged their negotiations then still appears to be in place: rank and file party members who are reluctant to move away from their positions on taxes.
The president and the speaker had an initial conversation earlier in the week after the election, which Boehner described as cordial.
"Fiscal cliff" is the term that's been used to describe a series of spending cuts that are slated to take effect as the result of a bipartisan deal struck last year to raise the nation's debt ceiling. The first $109 billion, including $55 billion in defense reductions that the Obama administration has said are unacceptable, would kick in Jan. 2, before the new Congress is sworn into office.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said that the cuts, along with tax increases, could raise the unemployment rate to about 9 percent. It's now 7.9 percent.
Both parties oppose the spending reductions, but they've disagreed for months on what to do about them. They postponed their discussions until after the election. Congress will return to Washington on Tuesday.
With voters returning Obama to the White House and Republicans to a majority in the House, each man says the American people prefer his solution.
"On Tuesday night, we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach – and that includes Democrats, independents and a lot of Republicans across the country, as well as independent economists and budget experts," Obama said. "So our job now is to get a majority in Congress to reflect the will of the American people."
One politically worrisome element of the fiscal cliff is that nearly every tax cut enacted in the last decade is set to expire at the end of this year. The $500 billion tax increase that would be paid by Americans at all income levels would have the average household paying $3,500 more, according to nonpartisan estimates.
Republicans want to extend all the tax cuts – enacted under President George W. Bush and extended by Obama – through at least next year.
Obama urged the House to approve a bill that the Senate already has passed that would extend all the tax reductions on individual incomes below $200,000 and household incomes below $250,000. He wants to revive the top income-tax rate of 39.6 percent for the wealthiest earners.
On Capitol Hill, Boehner outlined in general terms how additional revenue could be raised without a tax increase: overhauling the tax code, closing loopholes and spurring economic growth. But he wouldn't get specific.
"It's clear that there are a lot of special interest loopholes in the tax code, both corporate and personal," Boehner said. "It's also clear there are all kinds of deductions, some of which make sense, some don't."
Romney had proposed a 20 percent across-the-board reduction in income tax rates. Boehner is not, and Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation found last month that even eliminating the most popular deductions would support only a 4 percent rate cut.
Boehner also wouldn't specify what goal he had for the federal deficit, which was $1.1 trillion in fiscal 2012, the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30. The number was down about $207 billion from the previous year, but it was still the fourth straight year that the deficit topped $1 trillion.
"Clearly the deficit is a drag on our economy," the speaker said, but he added, "I don't want to box myself in."
Nor would he get precise about what changes he'd want in entitlements such as Medicare or Social Security.
"This has to be dealt with," he said. "So everything – everything on the revenue side and the spending side – has to be looked at."
Obama, joined by Vice President Joe Biden, appeared in the East Room of the White House in front of nearly 200 supporters Friday afternoon. He didn't take questions.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The story was originally published in April 2017. It is part of our "Year In Review" section as one of our most-viewed stories of the year.
ATLANTA -- Sloping concrete ramps supported by beams under an Atlanta highway.
A skate park was created under the Interstate-85 bridge, just beyond where it collapsed last week in a massive fire. The only problem? The Georgia Department of Transportation never approved it.
Photos taken of the skate park, provided to 11Alive, show pallets of concrete mix sitting under tarps, stacks of plywood laying about and other construction materials strewn under a section of the Atlanta highway. But 11Alive found more materials under the bridge, even flammable ones, including tires and old mattresses.
PHOTOS | Hidden skate park under I-85
11Alive's investigative reporter Andy Pierrotti reached out to GDOT spokesperson Natalie Dale, who told him via text message that the park was not sanctioned or approved by state officials in any way. When 11Alive asked for an interview for follow-up questions, GDOT declined the request. The agency also didn't say when they became aware of the park.
It's unknown, right now, how long and how much it took to create the finished product seen in the pictures, but it appears that the section of the bridge was last inspected in 2015. Dale said cleanup of the park would begin on Friday.
After 11Alive published its story, the agency sent an official statement a saying, "There was no permit of any kind given for this unauthorized facility on state property. We are aware of its existence and will begin removal shortly. Our team is currently working to review this site as part of our commitment to address illegal trespassing on state property and the resulting implications."
Andrew Rodriguez is a regular skateboarder and said he discovered just a day after the collapse. Rodriguez did not contact 11Alive about the skate park, but said he hopes the state can come up with a compromise.
"It's pretty solid," Rodriguez said after giving the ramps a try. He told 11Alive it's one of the nicest skate parks he's ever been on and is like a piece of art. "It definitely looks like it's done by people who know what they're doing."
The new revelations of the park come just a week after a considerable portion of I-85 was brought down in a fiery collapse. Investigators said the fire began after a suspect sparked a fire inside the storage area where noncombustible, but highly-flammable materials were kept.
GDOT has come under fire for storing the materials, said to be a high density plastic conduit (or HDPE), under the bridge. During a press conference, GDOT Commissioner Russell McMurry said storing the material under bridges is something the agency does frequently, but they never anticipated it would be set on fire, causing this kind of catastrophe.
"This should be a learning opportunity for, something, quite honestly until this event happened, a criminal activity was not something probably that most DOTs were thinking about," McMurry said.

I-85 FIRE | What you need to know
An estimated 220,000 people used the busy artery that straddles Midtown Atlanta and Buckhead each day, and officials estimate that repairs on the bridge will continue into June. Until then, the collapse and resulting construction has sent traffic spilling into the surrounding streets, as drivers try to navigate around the city.

DIY Sequin Arm Warmers
Added Nov 7, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
In honor of some of our beginner sewers, here is a simple sewing project you can easily tackle in little time. There were a lot of sequins + sparkles on the runways this past September, as many designers gave a nod to the glamorous gowns and accessories from the 1930s— so we have too. Sequin arm warmers are a simple way to incorporate this decadent look into your everyday wardrobe— but if sequins are not your fort, do not fear, you can virtually use any knit fabric to make some of your own personalized arm warmers with a twist! Or of course you could knit some, but if you're eager to sew, try these.
Men and women alike can don arm warmers and they work well with a cape, keeping your exposed limbs warm and sparkly. Try a steampunked look and cover them with rivets or studs, or go for a Belle Epoch look and use a soft stretch lace and have them come up over the elbows.
Be sure to check out the Instructions tab for the pattern diagram!

Very nice and sparkly fabric..i guess its my next best friend after diamonds lol. Nice project.:-)

I am going to make these from a lovely sweater I picked up at the thrift store. And maybe a sequin pair or two!

I've been wanting to sew myself some of those boy shorts out of stretch sequin knit for a long time, but I can't quite get over how one…you know…SEWS sequin fabric, and these instructions sort of skip over that part, too. Anybody can give me a little reassurance? Do you really sew right over/through the sequins themselves? That doesn't mess up your needle or machine? Or do you have to take out a row or two of the sequins along the seams so that you can sew only through the fabric part? I assume it's easy once you're looking at it, but…what am I missing?

Hey Heatherred, You actually DO sew right over the sequins. And fast. Because the knit wants to unravel. The sequins I used to make these warmers were very soft and malleable and the needle easily penetrated through them.
One thing to keep in mind is to use craft scissors— they may ruin your fabric scissors. And don't iron them, they'll melt!
Nov 8, 2011, 08.58 PMby step-van-b
I was inspired and just made some warm ethnic wool arm warmers. Totally different style but I like them. Thanks for the idea :)
Nov 8, 2011, 08.43 PMby caramia-made
Ooooh I love sparkles!
Alison, you look adorable! :)
Nov 8, 2011, 10.32 AMby Anna Aasbjerg
Great! :-D Thinking of making these in stretchy lace! :-)
Nov 8, 2011, 08.34 AMby loulourosa
Good idea, these look lovely! I have a few coats with 3/4 sleeves and in winter these are a bit to cold,…so thanks for this project!

Classayyy! One way to add glamour to the armour And to hell with chunky knit wrist warmers, these look way better

Item Description
Letter, John Vansickle to Dear Father
Author: Vansickle, John H.
Date: December 28, 1858
John Vansickle wrote from Bourbon County, Kansas Territory, to his father back East. Vansickle advised him not to travel to the Territory to visit him in light of recent events. Vansickle referred to the release of Benjamin Rice by James Montgomery and a band of free state men. Rice had been in a Fort Scott prison for killing a proslavery man. Shortly thereafter, according to Vansickle, John Brown entered Missouri, freed slaves and stole property. He also told his father that the newspapers communicated little of the story, as victims of crimes and anyone whose opinion was published would be subject to mob violence.

I like it Frank. Like the hop schedule - that's a good combo. The only thing different I do is to add 3 or 4 oz of chocolate malt, for a slight roastiness. But I think you'll be happy.
Are you using software to build your recipe? Do you have an estimated SRM?
Quote from: Pinski on January 02, 2014, 02:43:56 AMAre you using software to build your recipe? Do you have an estimated SRM?No software. I do it the old fashioned way. I don't really shoot for any specific SRM... Just as long as it is blackish
I'm thinking you want the Carafa III special (i.e., dehusked), right? I made that mistake once and ended up turning an Amber into a Brown Ale. Most Black IPA recipes usually use a dehusked roast malt like Carafa Special or Midnight Wheat for color with minimal flavor. Then if you want to dial in some roastiness, that's what your chocolate malt is for.

Scripture: Mark 14:16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. (NIV)
Observation: The disciples had been sent by Jesus to make preparations for the Passover celebration. They were told to look for a specific person—a man carrying a water jar. They obeyed and found things just as Jesus had said.
Application: When I have stepped out in faith to obey what Jesus has told me, I too have discovered that things are just as Jesus has told me. When my priority is obeying Him, His priority is taking care of my circumstances. My obedience is the proof of my trust.
Prayer: Lord, proof of my trust is not just in saying it, but in obeying what you tell me to do. Amen

Making friends for time and eternity!

No. 7 Arizona struggles in against zone in second half, loses to Cal 77-69

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona was still close despite a not-so-crisp first half.
Once California switched to a zone to start the second half, the Wildcats didn't know what to do and became the latest top-10 team to go down.
Indecisive and tentative against Cal's zone, No. 7 Arizona fell into a 10-point hole in the second half and never fully recovered, losing 77-69 Sunday night to become the sixth top-10 team to fall this week.
"We took ill-advised shots," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "It looked as if we had no idea what we were during for that brief three-minute period."
Cal (14-9, 6-5 Pac-12) rallied from a 15-point deficit behind its defense against Arizona State on Thursday before coming up just short in a 66-62 loss.
The Bears went to their zone earlier against Arizona, keying a 17-2 run that put them up 10.
Even as the Wildcats started to figure out the zone, Cal didn't flinch, making some big shots down the stretch to beat Arizona at the McKale Center for the third straight season.
Allen Crabbe scored on a tough shot along the baseline with just over 2 minutes left and had 19 of his 31 points in the second half. Justin Cobbs hit a keep-em-at-bay 3-pointer just before that and scored on a layup with 39 seconds left, finishing with 21 points.
"We had a rhythm and communication," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "They had some penetration, but it took them out of their norm. We haven't been very good at it this season and it was a matter of game and circumstance."
Arizona (20-3, 8-3) had a rare letdown on defense, allowing Cal to shoot 59 percent. Mark Lyons scored 16 points, Solomon Hill added 13 and Brandon Ashley 12.
The Wildcats had won five in a row before joining Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Kansas and Ohio State as top-10 teams to take a tumble this week.
"We let the zone affect us and didn't get the ball movement we needed," Hill said. "When you don't get things rolling on the offensive end, it takes you mentally away from the game."
Arizona has had a penchant for getting off to slow starts this season, particularly at home, of all places.
The Wildcats did it against Florida in a matchup of top-10 teams in December before rallying for a victory and did the same thing against Stanford on Wednesday, almost spoiling the 40th anniversary of the McKale Center opening doors.
Arizona wasn't so fortunate against UCLA on Jan. 24, unable to bounce back after missing 12 of its first 13 shots and falling behind 19-3.
The Wildcats weren't as bad as they were against UCLA, but weren't particularly sharp, either.
Arizona struggled with its shooting early and had some breakdowns defensively, allowing Cal to make 15 of 28 shots and Crabbe to score 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
The Wildcats still managed to lead 38-33 at halftime, thanks to Hill's 11 points and 10-of-13 shooting from the free-throw line.
The Bears helped Arizona out with eight mostly careless turnovers — two by David Kravish sailed directly into the crowd — that led to 12 points for the Wildcats.
Once the second half started, Cal tried to run away with it.
The Bears gave Arizona State problems by switching defenses with 8 minutes left in Thursday's game. Cal got its defensive mojo going earlier against Arizona by switching to a zone to start the second half.
The Wildcats struggled to decipher the zone and opened the half by missing nine of their first 10 shots, many of those late in the shot clock and contested.
At the other end, the Bears made their first five shots to open with a 17-2 run, going up 50-40 on Crabbe's four-point play.
"We haven't seen a zone in a while, so it threw us off," Arizona swingman Kevin Parrom said.
The Wildcats clawed their way back with a 9-2 run to stay within reach, but never made it all the way back.
Arizona pulled within two on a 3-pointer by Lyons with 2:02 left, but Crabbe answered with a tough baseline drive and Cobbs followed with his layup that made it 75-69, sending the Bears to their biggest road win of the season.

City University of New York describes genre:
Genre is a French term derived from the Latin genus, generis, meaning "type," "sort," or "kind." It the classification of what books have in common, either in their formal structures or subject matter, or both.
Why do we divide our reading material into categories? One reason is that grouping works offers us an orderly way to talk about a bewildering number of books. More importantly, if we can point to a genre we get an idea of what we might expect to read. Bookstores need to know how to group their products; libraries need to know where to shelve like material so it can be more easily found, right?
Genre is an abstract concept, used to classify and describe other abstract objects, namely written works. And I like this quote from The Muse website: "If you believe that a book is a written work because it's printed on paper, think again; it's only a collection of words, which are symbols. The written work only exists in your mind after you read the book." Genres is also applied to music, painting, film, television, and many other arts—even in video games! For example, in music there are genres of classical, folk, rock, heavy metal, pop, blues, big band, etc.; in fine arts, there are genres of still life, sculpture, portrait, landscape, etc.; and in film, there are genres of documentary, animation, thriller, horror, etc.
In written works, genre can be a confusing concept mostly because books can have a combination of formulas that apply to the different genres. One publisher will promote a book in a certain category in hopes that it will sell better. I've even seen libraries and book stores categorize books differently. A reviewer may call a book a category different from another one. Sometimes genre is just a matter of perspective.
These definitions are associated with The Muse's definition of literary genre:
- A literary theme is the central meaning or dominant idea in a literary work; its single unifying or underlying dominant idea; its motif or recurring idea.
- A literary subject is the basic idea or thing that is explored by a literary work.
- A literary technique is the body of specialized procedures and methods used to write a literary work.
- A literary style is the manner of expression used by a writer, including such things as sentence structure, diction, and tone.
Following is the brief definition of most types of main genres found in literature.
All Fiction
The thriller, spy novels, with lots of chasing and not so much dialog; the kind of stories that often solve international crimes, involve espionage of some kind and are usually technical in description of weapons and escapes. Think James Bond—or my new favorite author, Steven James.
Stories composed in verse or prose, usually for theatrical performance, where conflicts and emotion are expressed through dialogue and action
Narration demonstrating a useful truth, especially in which animals speak as humans; legendary, supernatural tale
Fairy Tale
Story about fairies or other magical creatures, usually for children.
which is often lumped in with Speculative Fiction and Science Fiction, which is different. Edgar Allen Poe was an early speculative fiction writer, as was Jules Verne; Fiction with strange or other worldly settings or characters; fiction which invites suspension of reality
General Fiction
What doesn't fit into one of these tighter sub-categories, like the works of Jane Hamilton, Jane Smiley, Rebecca Rassmussen
Narrative literary works whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact
Fiction in Verse
Full-length novels with plot, subplot(s), theme(s), major and minor characters, in which the narrative is presented in (usually blank) verse form
The songs, stories, myths, and proverbs of a people or "folk" as handed down by word of mouth
Story with fictional characters and events in a historical setting. The Deer Run series, written by my friend Elaine Marie Cooper, are such books. She took a family story and wrote a novel based on it. Historical fiction has to have some kind of tie to true events.
Horror/All kinds of "Punk"
Fiction in which events evoke a feeling of dread in both the characters and the reader. Think Stephen King. The horror doesn't have to be graphic, either – M Night Shaymalan in the Sixth Sense; a "punk" example is Steam Punk, etc, which is historical or contemporary-ish that deals with tools run by steam power
Fiction full of fun, fancy, and excitement, meant to entertain; but can be contained in all genres. Think particularly of Garrison Keillor – the goal is to make 'em laugh.
Story, sometimes of a national or folk hero, which has a basis in fact but also includes imaginative material
which includes many sub-categories, such as the Detective or crime story, and the cozy
Fiction dealing with the solution of a crime or the unraveling of secrets
Legend or traditional narrative, often based in part on historical events, that reveals human behavior and natural phenomena by its symbolism; often pertaining to the actions of the gods. Think Beowulf
New Adult
Often starts with teens who are involved in big events, and grow up, often get married and/or make adult decisions like marriage or having a child. Twilight, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Jill Williamson's books
Realistic Fiction
Story that can actually happen and is true to life; Rudyard Kipling, Harper Lee, John Steinbeck
Stories where a relationship is the main theme, and the book ends with either a proposal or a wedding
Science Fiction
Story based on impact of actual, imagined, or potential science, usually set in the future or on other planets. A sub-category of this is fan fiction, or license-based fiction. People who are fans of shows like Star Trek can apply to write sequels or parallel dramas based on those shows.
Short Story
Fiction of such brevity that it supports no subplots.
Tall Tale
Humorous story with blatant exaggerations, swaggering heroes who do the impossible with nonchalance. Think Paul Bunyon, etc.
Youth Fiction
Children's literature, story and picture books, chapter books and Young Adult, Coming of Age stories. Does not get to the level of New Adult
Not always historical, Westerns feature cowboy stories of one kind or another, ranching, farming, dealing with large animals in usually an American setting, the mountains, pampas, or west of the Mississippi
Narrative of a person's life, a true story about a real person
A short literary composition that reflects the author's outlook or point
Factual information presented in a format which tells a story. Think Michael Perry, Population 485, Truck, Coop. Who would think a balding farmer could tell such great stories?
Informational text dealing with an actual, real-life subject. Newspaper or magazine or newsletter articles
Verse and rhythmic writing with imagery that creates emotional responses. Shakespeare falls into several categories, as he wrote his dramas in verse.
Public address or discourse

CHARLOTTE � The defense for the Carolina Panthers was back in fine form in Sunday�s 30-20 victory against the New York Jets at Bank of America Stadium.
Running back DeAngelo Williams scored on a tie-breaking 72-yard pass play late in the first half and cornerback Captain Munnerlyn returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown as the Panthers moved to the verge of clinching a playoff spot in the NFC.
A week after their franchise-record eight-game winning streak was snapped at New Orleans, the Panthers found the ideal response by swarming the Jets for most of the game.
Carolina (10-4) has a rematch with New Orleans next Sunday with a chance to move atop the NFC South standings.
The Jets (6-8) will be eliminated from playoff contention if the Baltimore Ravens win tonight�s game at Detroit. Otherwise, the Jets must win their final two games and need some help to make the postseason.
Carolina linebacker Jason Williams blocked a fourth-quarter punt, allowing the Panthers to take possession at the New York 14. That led to running back Mike Tolbert�s 1-yard touchdown run four plays later with 11:05 to play for a 23-13 lead.
Less than three minutes later, Munnerlyn picked off Jets quarterback Geno Smith and ended up in the end zone. It was Munnerlyn�s franchise-record fifth interception return for a touchdown in his career.
Smith connected on 15 of 28 passes for 167 yards. His lone touchdown pass went to tight end Jeff Cumberland from 8 yards out with 3:50 left.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton completed 16 of 24 passes for 273 yards.
The Jets, who had a season-high point total in last week�s 37-27 victory against Oakland, didn�t score a touchdown until defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson, filling in as a fullback, bulled in from 1 yard out to conclude a nine-play, 86-yard drive with 3:04 remaining in the third quarter.
Carolina had a chance to build on a 16-6 edge with its first possession of the third quarter. But Newton threw incomplete on fourth-and-2 from the New York 14.
The Panthers won three of four games against AFC foes, making them the only NFC South team with a winning record against the other conference.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After battling to a scoreless deadlock for 110 minutes, No. 1 seed MIT advanced past No. 5 seed Babson College in penalty kicks, 3-0, in a semifinal game of the 2013 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference women's soccer tournament this afternoon. MIT (13-2-4) will face Springfield College in the championship final at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow Babson saw their season come to a close, with the Beavers finishing the 2013 season with a 10-4-5 record.
The first half turned into a battle between the two team's midfields, with the two teams combining for seven shots. Junior Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, Conn.) had chance at the 11:09 mark, but her try was wide of the mark. Babson had a chance six minutes later when sophomore Meghan Tyson (Scarborough, Maine) got off a shot from the outside of the box, but it was scooped up by the Engineers goalkeeper, freshman Lauren Ullmann (Princeton, N.J.).
In the second half Babson's defense held MIT to just two shots, neither of which ended up on goal. The Beavers got off five shots, including one by freshman Jennifer Narlee (Medfield, Mass.) and one by junior Jessica DiPhilippo (Falmouth, Maine) that made it in on goal, but Ullman made the save on both to preserve the tie and send the game into overtime.
A turnover by MIT gave senior Mika Cucullo (South Salem, N.Y.) a scoring chance in the first OT, but Ullmann was there to make the save. Three minutes into the second overtime a shot by junior Elena Gianotas (Trabuco Canyon, Calif.) made it in on goal, but junior Melina Kapotsis (Watertown, Mass.) made the save. Neither team generated a shot after that and the game went to penalty kicks to decide which team would be playing in finals the following afternon.
Seniors Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, Ala.) and Rachel Dias Carlson (Albany, N.Y.) and junior Michelle Battipaglia (Katonah, N.Y.) all connected on their penalty attempts for MIT. For Babson, a shot by sophomore Kristina Simonson (Easton, Mass.) hit the crossbar, the next by Diphilippo was saved by freshman keeper Hannah Zlotnick (Rochester, N.Y.) and the third by Meghan Andrew (Easton, Mass.) went wide of the net, ending the game.
