Mentorship program helps students explore medical careers
WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. – Becoming a doctor requires years of hard work and sacrifice, and a very special program is allowing local students to explore a career in medicine, while they're still in high school.
The Medical Mentorship program is a collaboration between West Bloomfield High School and Henry Ford Health System.
Students who are accepted into the program shadow Henry Ford mentors in primary care, specialty care, laboratory, pathology, pharmacy, administration or complementary medicine.
Bhavika Chepuri was a student in the Medical Mentorship program in 2008.
"I worked with a radiation oncologist when I was in the program, and he was an incredible mentor who really ignited the spark that carried me through all of these years," said Chepuri.
Now 5 years later, Chepuri is a first year medical student at Wayne State University.
West Bloomfield High School senior Iris Song is a current student in the program. She said she has already gained an important perspective on medicine.
"It's not really as dramatic as TV makes it out to be, but it's definitely I would say as interesting," said Song. "You see real-life situations of real people getting diagnosed and treated."
Chris Sturgill is a teacher at West Bloomfield High School and directs the Medical Mentorship program.
"We've had over 500 students in the 13 years that this program has gone on," said Sturgill. "I think we have a really high grade of success with these students moving on to going into a medical career and some of them choose not to, and that's okay too."
Dr. Kenneth Levin is a radiation oncologist at Henry Ford Hospital and has mentored high school students in the program for years.
"They see nothing's perfect," said Levin. "They see the good with the bad, they see some of the stresses and some of the successes. They see it from all sides."
The program is such a success, it's been used as the model for similar programs around the state.
And whether students ultimately pursue a career in medicine or not, they're grateful for the opportunity.
"I saw both the gratifying and the rewarding, but I also saw the difficult and the challenging," said Chepuri. "When it came time to make a career choice, I had a really complete picture."

Celestica swings to profit
"Celestica's second quarter results demonstrate our ability to deliver further improvements in our financial results despite challenging end markets," said Craig Muhlhauser, President and Chief Executive Officer, Celestica.
Revenue in the second quarter was $1,876 million compared to $1,937 million in the second quarter of 2007. Net earnings on a GAAP basis for the second quarter were $39.8 million or $0.17 per share, compared to GAAP net loss of ($19.2) million or ($0.08) per share for the same period last year. Adjusted net earnings for the quarter were $38.9 million or $0.17 per share, compared to adjusted net earnings of $4.9 million or $0.02 per share for the same period last year. The term adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings before other charges, amortization of intangible assets, integration costs related to acquisitions, option expense, option exchange costs and gains or losses on the repurchase of shares and debt, net of tax and significant deferred tax write-offs or recovery (detailed GAAP financial statements and supplementary information related to adjusted net earnings appear at the end of this press release). These results compare with the company's guidance for the second quarter, announced on April 24, 2008, of revenue of $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion and adjusted net earnings per share of $0.13 to $0.19. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenue was $3,712 million compared to $3,779 million for the same period in 2007. Net earnings on a GAAP basis were $69.6 million or $0.30 per share compared to GAAP net loss of ($53.5) million or ($0.23) per share for the same period last year. Adjusted net earnings for the first half of 2008 were $74.3 million or $0.32 per share compared to adjusted net loss of ($4.2) million or ($0.02) per share for the same period in 2007. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2008, the company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion, and adjusted net earnings per share to range from $0.17 to $0.23.

Former Michigan football All-American quarterback Pete Elliott dies at age 86
Former Michigan All-American quarterback Pete Elliott died on Friday. He was 86.
Associated Press
Back then, voting took place before bowl games, and after Elliott led Michigan to a 49-0 win against Southern California in the 1948 Rose Bowl, an unofficial AP poll was taken with Michigan finishing ahead of Notre Dame by a margin of 226-119.
Elliott was named a first team All-American quarterback by the International News Service as a senior, but he wasn't a quarterback in the traditional sense. Though he led the team in passing and total offense in 1945, his All-American accolades were as a "defensive quarterback." Michigan's football archives state that he "came to Michigan in 1945 as a Navy trainee, starring as a runner and passer. Shifted to quarterback, where his blocking and defensive strength became invaluable."
Elliott didn't just star for the football team. He became the only Michigan athlete to earn 12 varsity letters, starring for the basketball and golf teams as well. He captained the 1946-47 basketball team.
Pete was the younger brother of Chalmers "Bump" Elliott who was also an All-American at Michigan and the head coach from 1959-68. The brothers were inducted into the Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor in 1986. Pete's son, Bruce Elliott, was a defensive back for Michigan
After college, Elliott joined the coaching ranks, winning two national titles as an assistant at Oklahoma. He served as head coach at Nebraska, California, Illinois and Miami. He stepped down from Miami in 1975 to become athletic director, a position he held until 1978.
Elliott became the executive director for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979 and held the position for 17 years, longer than anyone before or since.
"Pete was beloved by the entire Pro Football Hall of Fame family, including the staff, board of trustees and the Hall of Fame members," Hall of Fame shared president/executive director Steve Perry said in a release. "He was a kind and thoughtful person and an inspiration to us all. We are all better for having had him in our lives."

The Elliott brothers were great foot ball players and students.If I remember correctly both came to the U of M under th governments ROTC program.. God Bless the Elliott Family

Sat, Jan 5, 2013 : 5:52 p.m.
Pete came to Michigan as a "Navy trainee" according to his UM bio. It doesn't state whether it was a reserve officer training corps (ROTC). I'd have to do a little research to find out exactly what programs Michigan offered at the time. Bump was an enlisted member of the Marine Corps and was assigned to the V-12 Navy College Training Program at Purdue straight out of high school where he lettered in football, baseball and basketball. The Marines called him to active duty for WWII in late 1944 and he served in China. Upon Bump's return, he enrolled at Michigan in 1946 to join his brother, who was already the QB at Michigan. I believe Bump was discharged and therefore had no military tie (besides the GI bill, likely) during his time at UM, but I'd have to do some research to be sure.
Sat, Jan 5, 2013 : 4:43 p.m.
Both Pete and Bump Elliott were heroes of mine when I was 6 to 10 years old. I was lucky enough to meet them several times after games, back when the players would mill around outside the locker room for awhile. Both were true gentlemen and very friendly with the young kids. I can remember my father commenting, "Their parents must be very proud of those two boys." I had the great pleasure of getting re-acquainted with both Elliott brothers in the 90's when they participated in the Milly Schembechler Golf Tournament . They acted like they remembered me from their playing days - although I rather doubt it. :-D But they were still very kind and friendly, well-spoken, and polite. . . real pleasures to be around. And both could still play a mean round of golf - especially Pete.

Pete, that reminded me of another local connection for the bowl games... his nephew (and Bump's son) is Bob Elliot... ND's safeties coach. Thoughts and prayers to the whole Elliot family.
Mon, Jan 7, 2013 : 1:44 a.m.
A great quarterback for the Pioneers who kicked our River Rat butts in the first clash of the AA teams, which was held in the Big House. Bob Elliott was a tough kid, short on size and talent, but long on desire and attitude--having a very successful playing career at Iowa. The Elliott family is one of AA's treasures--and Pete was one of the finest.

Good call. Here's a link to Pete's nephew's (Bump's son's) bio: http://www.und.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/elliott_bob00.html
Sat, Jan 5, 2013 : 12:56 a.m.
Thank you for sharing this. Many young Ann Arborites have been and are blessed to be part of the Elliott legacy by having the great fortune to be coached by Bruce Elliott, who has volunteered countless hours to advancing young athlete's enjoyment of field hockey. God bless the Elliott family.
Sat, Jan 5, 2013 : 12:32 a.m.
Absolutely First Class! He defined Michigan! And, don't forget Dave Elliott, his younger son who also was a great defensive back for Michigan! UM lost one of its All Time greats! God Bless!

Vans to kick off nationwide 'Custom Culture' contest
TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. – TAHOE/TRUCKEE – Vans is sounding the call for hundreds of high schools across the country to take part in the fourth edition of Vans Custom Culture, a nationwide art contest. Beginning Jan. 2, 2013, schools can register for the chance to compete for a $50,000 award to their art program and the opportunity to travel to New York City to exhibit their art-adorned Vans shoes at the final art showcase.
Vans Custom Culture inspires creativity among students through art and design while at the same time aiming to shed light on diminishing school art budgets. Since its 2010 inception, Vans Custom Culture has reached tens of thousands of students, at thousands of participating schools and awarded more than $175,000 to support high school art programs. In 2013, Vans sets the bar even higher with a goal that more than 1,000 schools nationally join in.
"In a time when schools are faced with shrinking budgets, art education is an often overlooked discipline," said Doug Palladini, Vans vice president of marketing. "Supporting creative expression through art and design is very important to all of us at Vans and the Custom Culture program should inspire young art students and draw attention to the importance of high school art programs nationwide."
In 2013, Vans will donate $50,000 to the school that wins the Custom Culture contest and launch a new partnership with Americans for the Arts, the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education. Through this partnership, Americans for the Arts and Vans will distribute $2,000 grants to an additional 10 schools across the nation, and Vans will make a $50,000 donation to Americans for the Arts to support their work to create opportunities for every American to participate in and appreciate all forms of the arts. Additionally, returning national retail partner Journeys will award a $10,000 "Local Attitude" award presented to the school that creates the most compelling "Local Flavor" design.
"Journeys couldn't be more excited to partner with Vans Custom Culture for a second year," said Kari Irons, Journeys vice president of marketing. "Arts education is a vital part of a student's school experience and ensuring that young artists have the funding they need to pursue their creative passions is something Journeys feels very strongly about."
From Jan. 2 through Feb. 11, 2013, U.S. based high school art programs can register for the 2013 competition on the Vans Custom Culture website (vans.com/customculture). After registration, each school will be tasked with customizing four favorite Vans styles: the Old Skool, 106 Vulcanized, Sk8-Hi and Classic Slip-On. Students are charged with designing each pair of shoes to fit within one of three themes representing the Vans lifestyle, including action sports, art and music and then also a fourth "local flavor" theme reflecting regional inspiration.
After an internal Vans team narrows down the selection, the public will have the opportunity to vote through the Vans Custom Culture website from April 22 to May 13, 2013. The top five schools will be invited to New York City to showcase their designs for the crowd and celebrity judges at a special event in June 2013, where the grand prize winner will be announced.
In March 2013, the designs created by 2012 Vans Custom Culture winners Rio Rancho High School (Rio Ranch, N.M.) will go on sale at Vans and Journeys stores as well as the Vans online shop. Rio Rancho claimed the $50,000 prize last year as well as Journeys' "Local Attitude" award when their designs were recognized among the nearly 900 participants.
For more information both students and teachers alike can visit Vans.com/customculture. The website is the central hub for the contest, providing registration information, contest rules, an exciting kick-off video and program updates. Find them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/vanscustomculture.

ILÂME makes concrete use of the results achieved with the 2009 Nobel Prize for Medicine, focusing on research on the enzyme telomerase. The presence of this enzyme safeguards the process of correct reproduction of DNA and therefore guarantees correct cell renewal. Its absence or scarcity results in the acceleration of cell ageing. In other words, on every cell division the telomeres (a sort of cap on the ends of chromosomes) shorten until they disappear. For this reason, the cell, no longer able to rely on intact chromosomes, is in danger of dying. Maintaining a high concentration of telomerase delays cell aging. ILÂME is in constant evolution, seeking the inner skin's secrets. The brand is placed onapath traced by the most avant-garde scientific research in addition to the formulation of an eleutherococcus lipid complex, in the liposomal form, known as EleuteroComplex. There are seven preparations that make up the line; seven like the cyclical perfection number that has always been geometrically associated to the circle - as if to say seven is the number of beauty. ILÂME is a brand that pursues the scientific approach with a philanthropic attitude that has created a one-of-a-kind skincare collection.

Sometimes there's a small and simple way to tackle a large and complicated problem. For her thesis project, product design student Grace Tsai wanted to do something to reduce China's growing income gap. "If the gap gets bigger," she says, "migrant workers from the countryside won't be able to survive in the expensive cities, and neither will their families, who depend on their income." Migrant workers make up about 10 percent of China's population, and as a group they contribute the most to China's economic growth. However, because they are less well educated than their urban peers, they are often underpaid and treated poorly by employers. China's new labor contract law was put into effect on January 1, 2008, but migrant workers are generally not aware of their rights under it. "When I researched this issue, I found a report that said 40 percent of migrant workers never sign their labor contract. I realized that this was something I could work on," explains Tsai. Her project, Contract Helpmate, which won Parsons' Product Design Thesis Prize for 2009, is an attractively illustrated booklet that offers clear information about workers' rights and labor contracts and tools to help workers protect themselves from abusive management.
Tsai, now a graduate, is looking for a business sponsor to get the project off the ground. "They could help me distribute this all over the country," she says. "I want to make it happen for real."

A new food philosophy from Sustainability & Wellness.
We embrace the tremendous power of food and the opportunity we have to positively impact the lives of our guests, our associates and our communities – on both a local and global level.
Body. Community. Planet. is a reflection of our conviction that we can make a positive impact that extends beyond our business. This platform is based on a philosophy that healthy and sustainable menus prioritize food that promotes the wellbeing of people, community and the planet.
We believe that in a sustainable society, individuals, communities and businesses flourish within nature's limits. At Chartwells, we are committed to reducing the impact of our operations, while positively contributing to healthy and just communities.
As a division of Compass Group Canada, our Sustainability and Wellness platform, Body. Community. Planet. is a vision and a plan for healthy people and communities within and beyond our doors.
In October 2014, we proudly introduced the Compass Group Canada (CGC) Campus or Community Garden Standards and Guidelines. The development of the documents was led by Paul Medeiros (Director, Quality Assurance) in collaboration with public health, CGC foodservice managers and chefs, Compass US Quality Assurance, and reviewed by students from Meal Exchange's national network. With the documents and processes developed, we are now able to safely source from campus or community gardens in and around the locations where we provide foodservices. Please see our Campus or Community Gardens Guide, which is designed to help student and community gardeners understand the basic food safety and business elements related to operating a campus or community garden.

Sunday August 12th was the 40th running of the Annual Falmouth Road Race.
Each year over ten thousand runners converge in the postage stamp sized village of Woods Hole to run this race.
The race started in 1972. It was the brain child of a colorful local character by the name of Tommy Leonard. Tommy, an avid runner in his day, is 79 this year and no longer takes part in the race, however, he leads the way in a convertible while waving to his many fans. Tommy said, "It was a race born out of friendship. Those who were already friends, and those who would become friends. I guess I was a counter culture guy, but I believed back then, and still do, in love and harmony. I wanted to do something that would make people feel good. No matter how bad I felt before a run, I always felt better after. It takes some effort, but it does give you a natural high."
The race begins at the door of Captain Kidd's restaurant in Woods Hole and ends on Grand Avenue in the Falmouth Heights section the town. A large part of its popularity is the beautiful winding roads that the runners travel. The race course goes through tree shrouded areas and along sandy beaches with beautiful views of Vineyard Sound and Martha's Vineyard beyond. It then takes the runners past historic Nobska Lighthouse and around Falmouth Harbor. The race is a total of seven miles. It takes place on the second weekend of August. There is almost always a guarantee that the weather will be hot and steamy. This year was no exception to that rule. The day started with a heavy down-pour of rain, however, by start time the sky was clear and the heat and humidity had settled in.
This weekend is very busy for the staff at the Palmer House Inn. Pat and Bill rise at 4:30 am to prepare the runners buffet breakfast that begins at 7:00am. We serve hot beverages, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate and an assortment of juices to start off. Two fruit cups were offered, one was mixed mellon the other mixed berries. Our assistant Ilona made delicious cranberry and blueberry scones. Corn muffins, assorted breads and a variety of bagels with cream cheese were also served. Several cereals were also offered. Bill made some of his wonderful crustless quiche with roasted red peppers and shitkei mushrooms. He also made some of his, melt-in-your-mouth, croissants. To keep with the slightly European theme, three types of cheese were part of the offering. Pat made an eggbake casserole with fire roasted tomatoes and basil. As always scrambled eggs was one of the perennial favorites. To round out the buffet we had turkey sausages and bacon.
This year we had Bob Anderson and his staff stay with us in our Henry David Thoreau Cottage. Bob is the founder of "Runner's World" magazine and its publisher for the past 18 years. They are in the process of filming a full length documentary. Bob, who is 64, is celebrating 50 years of running and racing. His goal is to run in at least fifty races for at least 350 miles at better than 7 minutes per mile. For those of you who would be interested in following his travels, the journey is chronicled at: ALongRun.com

Ross Mirkarimi shunned by many political insiders
A year after Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi was reinstated to his job in the wake of accusations of domestic violence, he is still a man on the political fringe.
At the kickoff ceremony for Domestic Violence Awareness Month on the steps of City Hall last week, Mirkarimi stood marginalized to the side, a few paces from the prosecutor who last year had charged him with domestic violence, the mayor who tried to have him removed for misconduct a few months later, and the advocate who pursued a now-shelved recall against him.
Mirkarimi clapped politely as Mayor Ed Lee was introduced, but no one asked the sheriff to address the crowd. Kathy Black, one of the city's most prominent advocates for domestic violence victims, didn't join her colleagues on the stairs.
"Sometimes it makes me nervous" to be around Mirkarimi, Black said of her decision to stand in the audience. "I felt it was kind of sad not just letting us have the day."
After the event, Mirkarimi's 4-year-old son bounded up the steps to hug his dad.
"Booboosh!" Mirkarimi yelped as he greeted his son, Theo. His wife, Eliana Lopez, the victim in the criminal case who has stood by her husband and insisted he was not abusive, was a few steps behind, smiling.
Many still shun him
That is the dual reality for San Francisco's elected sheriff one year after Lee's effort to remove him for official misconduct foundered at the Board of Supervisors. Mirkarimi, who was barred by a judge from seeing his wife and son while he stood accused of domestic violence, now has them back. But he is still shunned by many officials.
Several city figures who have to deal with Mirkarimi's department would not talk publicly about what kind of relationship, if any, they have with him.
Mirkarimi says that Lee refuses to talk to him, despite the sheriff's efforts to reach out. They see each other at official functions, but don't talk directly, those familiar with the situation said.
Lee wouldn't comment on his relationship with the sheriff, but said: "I have always felt, and I continue to feel, that somebody who is on probation for domestic violence ought not be running the Sheriff's Department."
Mirkarimi, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment in a New Year's Eve fight with his wife, was sentenced to three years of probation and a year of domestic violence counseling.
Mirkarimi says he is "very happy" with his home life. "I would never wish last year's experience on anyone, but I am very proud of Eliana and the way we came out of this experience as a couple and family," he wrote in an e-mail.
Others, including former Mayor Art Agnos, Mirkarimi's friend who housed him when the suspended sheriff was barred from living at home, provided perspective.
Mirkarimi's family has moved to a three-bedroom home on the border of Potrero Hill and the Mission District, selling the Western Addition home where the fateful fight with his wife occurred. Lopez's tearful, videotaped confession to a neighbor that Mirkarimi had grabbed her arm hard enough to bruise it during the argument prompted the neighbor to call police. That left a bitter rift between the neighbors.
'Glowing as a family'
Lopez, a soap opera star from Venezuela, had moved back home during much of 2012 so she could work to support the family while Mirkarimi was suspended. She returned to San Francisco shortly after he got his job back and now has her own show on a Spanish radio station and recently performed in a local production of the "Vagina Monologues."
"They are glowing as a family and as individuals now that the terrible experience of the last year is behind them," Agnos said. "Ross is working harder than ever, but he's also paying a lot more attention to his wife and son, realizing how precious they are to him after the enforced separation."
Tami Bryant, a friend of Mirkarimi and Lopez, said, "They're definitely together as a family. They're happy."
Mirkarimi called his relationship with District Attorney George Gascón, who prosecuted the domestic violence case against him, "very professional."
His court-ordered counseling has made him a "better husband, father, person and sheriff," said Mirkarimi, who also pointed with pride to his professional accomplishments over the past year, such as a program to prepare offenders to re-enter society and improved inmate visiting procedures.
'A million thanks!'
While domestic violence advocates said they still have not forgotten what has happened, Mirkarimi said he is trying to keep his relationship with them "evolving and engaging."
On his office is a photo signed in 2009 by Beverly Upton of the Domestic Violence Consortium that reads: "Ross - A million thanks! Bev & The DVC." Last year, Upton was one of the major figures calling for Mirkarimi to leave office.
"I have been steadfast in my support for this community and this city to do everything it possibly can to eradicate domestic violence," Mirkarimi said as people drifted away from the recent City Hall ceremony. "I know some people might find that awkward for me to be here, but I will not retreat from that position. That's why I'm here in solidarity."

2:06NFLDoes Stefon Diggs Want a Trade from the Vikings or Kirk Cousins?
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs hasn't requested a trade but it doesn't sound like he'd turn one down. Diggs was asked if he wanted to be traded and said, "I won't be speaking on it all. But there is truth to all rumors, I guess." While Diggs and Adam Thielen have both expressed frustration, SI Now's Robin Lundberg and Amy Campbell discuss if Diggs really wants a trade or just wants someone other than Kirk Cousins throwing him the ball.

A Greek exit from the euro zone may be the price that has to be paid to persuade Germany to save the single currency, George Osborne, said on Tuesday.
As Spanish borrowing costshit a euro-era high, the chancellor suggested the German public might only be prepared to bail out other struggling euro zone economies if Greece went overboard.
His commentary from the sidelines of the crisis will inflame European tensions in the run-up to Sunday's Greek general election, which will determine whether Athens will swallow the austerity measures needed to sustain its euro membership.
"I ultimately don't know whether Greece needs to leave the euro in order for the euro zone to do the things necessary to make their currency survive," Mr Osborne said at a business event organised by The Times newspaper.
"I just don't know whether the German government requires Greek exitto explain to their public why they need to do certain things like a banking union, Eurobonds and things in common with that."
Mr Osborne also risked infuriating European partners by criticising last weekend's "depressing" decision to recapitalize Spanish banks with 100 billion euros via the government in Madrid, rather than through a direct injection of capital.
"If you do it via the Spanish sovereign, then you are not going to convince the market the Spanish sovereign is entirely credible . . . and yet they went ahead down this route," he said.
The yield on Spanish benchmark 10-year debt on Tuesday hit 6.8 percent. The move was accompanied by rising bond yields in countries deemed less risky, such as Germany and the UK, where market interest rates have been at record lows.
"The crisis is deteriorating at an ever-increasing pace," said Mark Schofield, a senior strategist at Citigroup. "Investors are increasingly pricing in either of the two tail risks – full euro zone break-up or fiscal union."
Officials have insisted the EU has sufficient short-term mechanisms to deal with the crisis in the form of rescue funds, while the debate over longer-term measures has shifted towards fiscal co-ordination and Europe-wide banking supervision.
Angela Merkel, German chancellor, spoke out in support of European banking regulation, although she stopped short of backing a region-wide resolution scheme, which Berlin fears could burden the country with joint liability for others' debts.
"Germany – and I can say this for the whole country – is prepared to do more on integration, but we cannot get involved in things that I am convinced will lead to an even bigger disaster than the situation we are in today," she said.
Vítor Constâncio, the vice-president of the European Central Bank , weighed into the debate over a proposed banking union, arguing that the ECB should take charge of supervising the euro zone's top banks.
The comments underscored ECB policy makers' determination to drive forward a banking union – despite skepticism by Germany's Bundesbank and the risk of damaging turf wars with other EU institutions.
Since its launch in 1998, the ECB's main task has been controlling inflation. But Mr Constâncio said EU treaties already included provisions for giving it supervisory responsibilities. He confirmed there was no formal ECB position yet.
Supervisory powers for the ECB have also been backed by Christian Noyer, France's central bank governor. Britain also favors using the ECB to oversee a banking union.
German policy makers fear that expanding the ECB's tasks could weaken its control over inflation, and just hours earlier, Andreas Dombret, a Bundesbank executive, had said proposals for a banking union "appear to be premature". Separately, Sabine Lautenschläger, the Bundesbank vice-president, told a Frankfurt conference that a banking union had to be preceded by fiscal union.
A banking union should become "an integral counterpart" of monetary union, the ECB argued in its financial stability review, published on Tuesday, which identified a "potential aggravation" of sovereign debt crisis as a "key risk" to the bloc's financial stability.
The ECB saw EU banks; balance sheets shrinking by 1.5 trillion euros, mainly via asset sales, by the end of 2013 – although that was less than estimated by the International Monetary Fund . The report did not consider the risks of a possible Greek exit from the euro zone, which Mr Constâncio said would be "virtually impossible to assess".

Paul Gets #OutThere in South Korea!
Paul McCartney Getting Back 'Out There'
First time in South Korea
'Paul McCartney Hyundai Card Super Concert 20'
Wednesday 28th May – Seoul, South Korea
Jamsil Sports Complex Main Stadium
Following an incredible 2013 which saw Paul's critically acclaimed 'Out There' tour launch in Brazil and visit 23 cities across South America, Europe, North America and Japan, today Paul confirms he'll be getting back out there by announcing his first ever concert in South Korea, taking place at Seoul's Jamsil Sports Complex Main Stadium this May 28th, 2014.
Regular readers of PaulMcCartney.com may remember that last March model/actress/entrepreneur Lily Cole sent Paul a photo of a busker she spotted in London:
The sign reads: "Sir Paul McCartney! Please have a concert in Republic of Korea!! There are millions of fans waiting for you."
Paul noted at the time, "Lily Cole sent me this pic - may lead to a show in Korea. Hope so!"
We can't say for sure if the two events are related, but we hope that the gentleman on the photo gets to the show in Seoul!
The 'Out There' tour features music from one of the best loved catalogues in popular music. Paul will perform songs that span his entire career - as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle. The set list will also include material from Paul's most recent studio album NEW, which was a global hit upon its release last year.
The McCartney live experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity; in just three hours some of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music are relived; music which for many has shaped the very soundtrack of their lives. The last decade has seen Paul and his band perform in a staggeringly impressive range of venues and locations, including outside the Coliseum in Rome, in Moscow's Red Square, Buckingham Palace, at the White House, a free show in Mexico to over 400,000 people and even into Space! Having played with his band (Paul 'Wix' Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass guitar/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums)) for over ten years now, the show never disappoints.
The tour also uses state of the art technology and production to ensure the entire audience has the best possible experience. With massive screens, lasers, fireworks, unique video content and the best songs in the world a Paul McCartney show is so much more than just an ordinary concert. Paul's shows attract a multi-generational audience from different backgrounds all brought together by his music.
2014 got off to an incredible start for Paul as he set a personal career best by winning an incredible five GRAMMY Awards in one night. In the UK he was honoured by music bible NME with a special one off award, the 'Songwriter's Songwriter Award' chosen for this unique accolade by his fellow peers.
Keep checking PaulMcCartney.com for further announcements.
Tickets will be available on YES24 (ticket.yes24.com, For English Booking, ticket.yes24.com/English) and Interpark (ticket.interpark.com, For English Booking, ticket.interpark.com/global) from April 9th (Wednesday) at 12PM. There will be an exclusive pre-sale open to Hyundai Card holders on April 8th (Tuesday) at 12PM.
Estadio De Minas – Brazil
Watching Paul McCartney is one thing, watching him live in our hometown is another. An air of wonder was mixed with disbelief that this was actually happening. He was here and not only did he do what was expected of him, he surpassed it. The lights, the giant screens, the special effects, a collection of classics – all part of the package of the greatest ever-living artist.
O Hoje – Brazil
It seems Paul's aura infected the city and we must be very proud of the reception we gave him. Parents took children, children took parents, grandchildren brought their grandparents, friends made new friends – it was a gathering worthy of a world Conference for peace. The world statesman left everybody happy – with a smile on his face and eyes bulging with excitement.
La Repubblica – Italy
Going to a Paul McCartney concert is like a visit to the Louvre, you go and admire the exceptional art, the most extraordinary and popular music of the last one hundred years. It should be mandatory for school children and in fact for every human being to go at least once in their life!
Sports Hochi – Japan
Still rocking hard at 71. Paul is in fine voice for 37 songs for two hours and forty-five minutes. The moment the superstar stepped out on stage in his wine red jacket the voltage went through the roof. This was the moment that all of Japan had been waiting for. The audience listened intently to each moment of the concert and there was ringing applause after every song. Bringing the Japanese flag on stage along with the British flag as a symbol of friendship was a nice touch.
Rzeczpospolita – Poland
McCartney was on Olympic form. This show is what the National Stadium was built for. Paul's first performance in Poland was the musical event of the decade. For nearly three hours he never left the stage and the show cemented the fact that he is simply the best in the world. As Paul was holding our flag and red and white confetti filled the air we were made to feel like we had won the Euro's, maybe even the Olympics.
ONET.pl – Poland
This was not just another big concert. It was the most important musical event in Poland in recent history. Saying that the icon complied with the expectations would be wrong, he repeatedly exceeded them! The atmosphere of the evening was fantastic, due largely to the enormous positivity and joy McCartney supplied us with in every single minute of his show.

System Identification Toolbox™ provides MATLAB® functions, Simulink® blocks, and an app for constructing mathematical models of dynamic systems from measured input-output data. It lets you create and use models of dynamic systems not easily modeled from first principles or specifications. You can use time-domain and frequency-domain input-output data to identify continuous-time and discrete-time transfer functions, process models, and state-space models. The toolbox also provides algorithms for embedded online parameter estimation.
The toolbox provides identification techniques such as maximum likelihood, prediction-error minimization (PEM), and subspace system identification. To represent nonlinear system dynamics, you can estimate Hammerstein-Wiener models and nonlinear ARX models with wavelet network, tree-partition, and sigmoid network nonlinearities. The toolbox performs grey-box system identification for estimating parameters of a user-defined model. You can use the identified model for system response prediction and plant modeling in Simulink. The toolbox also supports time-series data modeling and time-series forecasting.

New RHEL6-based OpenVZ kernel has a new memory management model, which supersedes User beancounters. It is called VSwap.
Primary parameters[edit]
With VSwap, there are two required parameters:
ram and
swap (a.k.a.
physpages and
swappages). All the other beancounters become optional.
- physpages
- This parameter sets the amount of fast physical memory (RAM) available to processes inside a container, in memory pages. Currently (as of 042stab042 kernel) the user memory, the kernel memory and the page cache are accounted into
- The
barrieris ignored and should be set to 0, and the
limitsets the limit.
- ram
- is an easy shortcut for physpages.limit, and is measured in bytes
- swappages
- This parameter sets the amount of "slower memory" (vswap) available to processes inside a container, in memory pages.
- The
barrieris ignored and should be set to 0, and the
limitsets the limit.
- swap
- is an easy shortcut for swappages.limit, and is measured in bytes
The sum of
physpages.limit and
swappages.limit limits the maximum amount
of memory which can be used by a container. When physpages limit
is reached, memory pages belonging to the container are pushed out to
so called virtual swap (vswap). The difference between normal swap
and vswap is that with vswap no actual disk I/O usually occurs. Instead,
a container is artificially slowed down, to emulate the effect of the real
swapping. Actual swap out occurs only if there is a global memory shortage
on the system.
|Note: swap used by a container can exceed
swappages.limit, but is always within sum of
physpages.limit and
Implicit UBC parameters[edit]
Since vzctl 4.6, if some optional beancounters are not set, vzctl sets them implicitly, based on ram and swap settings.
The following formulae are used:
VM overcommit and privvmpages[edit]
vzctl 4.6 adds a new parameter,
Its only purpose is to be used in privvmpages calculation,
in case VSwap is used and there is no explicit setting
for privvmpages.
If is set:
If it is not set:
|Note: for VSwap, you need vswap-enabled kernel, ie RHEL6-based OpenVZ kernel.
Since vzctl 3.0.30, you can use
--ram and
--swap parameters, like this:
vzctl set 777 --ram 512M --swap 1G --save
Convert non-VSwap CT to VSwap[edit]
If you have an existing container with usual UBC parameters set, and you want to convert this one into VSwap enabled config, here's what you need to do.
- Decide on how much RAM and swap you want this CT to have. Generally, sum of your new RAM+swap should be more or less equal to sum of old PRIVVMPAGES and KMEMSIZE.
- Manually remove all UBC parameters from config. This is optional, you can still have UBC limits applied if you want.
- Add PHYSPAGES and SWAPPAGES parameters to config. Easiest way is to use
vzctl set $CTID --ram N --swap M --save
Now your config is vswap enabled, and when you (re)start it (or use
--reset_ub), vswap mechanism will be used by the kernel for this CT.
Here is an example of the above steps:
CTID=123 RAM=1G SWAP=2G CFG=/etc/vz/conf/${CTID}.conf cp $CFG $CFG.pre-vswap grep -Ev '^(KMEMSIZE|LOCKEDPAGES|PRIVVMPAGES|SHMPAGES|NUMPROC|PHYSPAGES|VMGUARPAGES|OOMGUARPAGES|NUMTCPSOCK|NUMFLOCK|NUMPTY|NUMSIGINFO|TCPSNDBUF|TCPRCVBUF|OTHERSOCKBUF|DGRAMRCVBUF|NUMOTHERSOCK|DCACHESIZE|NUMFILE|AVNUMPROC|NUMIPTENT|ORIGIN_SAMPLE|SWAPPAGES)=' > $CFG < $CFG.pre-vswap vzctl set $CTID --ram $RAM --swap $SWAP --save vzctl set $CTID --reset_ub
How to distinguish between vswap and non-vswap configs?[edit]
vzctl and the kernel treats a configuration file as vswap one if PHYSPAGES limit is not set to
unlimited (a.k.a. LONG_MAX). You can also use the following command:
# vzlist -o vswap $CTID
In addition, vzctl checks if kernel support vswap, and refuses to start a vswap-enabled container on a non vswap capable kernel. The check is presence of
/proc/vz/vswap file.

Bible Cafe
Desired Color Scheme:
Preferred Color: #F26722
Desired Style:
Simple, Clean, and easy to reproduce. (Solid colors only)
Accepted File Formats:
SVG or AI
The "Bible Cafe" concept is simply for men to meet at a cafe (or wherever) and have a short bible study. Our church is making a website and weekly PDF's to keep everyone connected and give ideas about various bible studies. This logo will be on the website, the fliers, and possibly window stickers and banners at some point.

In June 2013, we began a journey through one of the most unusual and yet powerful books of the Bible, the Book of Colossians. Chapter 1 was all about Coming Back to Right Thinking about ourselves, about our purpose, about Jesus and what He did for us. God knows that people will only change their actions if they change their thinking.
Now, Chapter 2 & 3 is about getting our straightened out and focused. It is about how to "Live Your Life Well" You have only one life to live. You want to live it well but how do you do it?

Sender Policy Framework: SPF 101 (No, Not the Sunblock!)Carly Brantz
We know you're itching for the summer, but put away your bathing suit because we're not talking about sun protection here. While SPF 101 would provide the ultimate skin protection, we're actually talking about the SPF that has more to do with our day-to-day jobs—email.
SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. It's an email authentication method that helps identify the mail servers that are permitted to send email from a particular domain. Using this validation protocol, ISPs can determine when spoofers and phishers are trying to forge emails from your domain to send malicious email to your users.
Unfortunately, this is a huge problem plaguing consumer inboxes with repeated and unending attempts to illegally obtain personally identifiable information. Transactional email is particularly susceptible to attacks since spammers rely on existing relationships to drive your user to take action such as confirming an account, resetting a password, or logging in to correct a problem. Since SMTP alone won't help, you must authenticate your mail using all the tools available to you to prevent these email attacks. This includes SPF.
How SPF Works
SPF is an open standard that protects the envelope sender. The envelope sender uses path registration (a.k.a. return path) and validates by mapping the IP address to the registered domain name in the MAIL FROM Return and/or the HELO/EHLO SMTP command. You must register an SPF record (or TXT record) using the v=spf1 parameter in the DNS that contains your IP addresses for each mail server authorized to send your messages. ISPs then use the DNS to verify the source and make filtering decisions. If the DNS record passes, then your email can be delivered. (This isn't to say however that it absolutely will be delivered. As you know, there are many factors that can contribute to delivery failure. In this case if the email isn't delivered, it won't be because of SPF failure. To learn more about best sending practices, download our free Deliverability Guide.)
Not everyone uses SPF authentication, but receivers that reject based on SPF failure will reject delivery. Some receivers may also quarantine mail that fails SPF without blocking it.
Since this can be confusing stuff, we recommend checking out OpenSPF.org that provides a great example policy to show how SPF works.
Each SPF record will be a bit different, but you should check to make sure you've got it right. Here are three tools that can help validate your records.
- Scott Kitterman's SPF Testing Tools: Check to see if an SPF record already exists for your domain, check its validity or test its performance.
- OpenSPF.org: Review a series of form and email based testers.
- Google SPF Check: This service is only for Google Message Security customers, and has to be enabled, but it provides two resources for checking SPF by both sender and recipient domain.
The Sum of It All
Simply put, malicious email hurts your business and degrades the email channel. While SPF won't prevent spam, it can serve as a deterrent and make you less vulnerable to attacks. Combined with Sender ID and DKIM, SPF provides an extra level of protection that will better support your users by helping ISPs properly identify your email and in turn, the spammers.

Who's Worse — Bristol Palin or Kate Gosselin? They Both Bash The Fathers of Their Children!
Both women are attempting to make themselves look good by slamming the men they once loved. So, what effect will it have on their kids? Experts weigh in!
This all comes down to one simple question: Should Bristol Palin and Kate Gosselin be bashing their former men in the media and on national TV or should they keep their mouths shut? They are the fathers of their children after all!
First Kate goes on and on, slamming ex husband Jon Gosselin, claiming that he only sees their eight kids four days a month. "I do wish he would see them more, but that is what he has chosen," Kate told Access Hollwood in early June. "The kids would like to see him more."
And then today, June 27, on Good Morning America, Bristol bashed former fiance Levi Johnston, accusing him of "stealing" her virginity and abandoning their son, 2-year-old Tripp. She said, he "certainly (doesn't see Tripp) as much as he's entitled to," adding, "I don't know if Levi will be a big role model in his life at all. I'm not worried about it."
Experts tell HollyBaby.com that these women are not only ruining their own reputations, but are hindering the self-esteem of their kids — even if they don't know it. "It is horrendous to be bashing the reputation of the father of your child," relationship expert Dr. Gilda Carle tells us. "The child needs to have a desire and
belief to be with daddy and doesnt need to have to apologize for wanting to have a bond with the father."
"As they grow older, they will have their own opinion about daddy, but right now, this has a tendency of making them question who they are, why they were brought up in the world," Dr. Carle adds. "These mothers, without knowing it are setting up
very poor self esteem in these children. And it only shows how insecure and uneducated they are."
Dr. Carole Lieberman agrees, but believes that each of them are speaking out for different reasons. "Bristol Palin is still suffering heartbreak from Levi," Dr. Lieberman, psychiatrist and author of Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them
and How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets, tells HollyBaby.com.
"When she bashes him in the media it is because she is still very hurt and angry. Especially since he seemed to want reconciliation with her and then it did not work. She wants to get back at him for breaking her heart."
On the other hand: "When Kate bashes John in the media, her heart isn't still breaking for him, but he has humiliated her in the media by dating one woman after another," Dr. Lieberman adds. "She is getting revenge by bashing him."
But still, both experts feel that Bristol and Kate should always keep their children in mind rather than themselves and the "fame" this might bring them. "People in the media should always keep in mind how what they do and say will impact the future of their children," Dr. Lieberman concludes.
So HollyMoms, who's worse — Bristol or Kate OR BOTH!

Heisman watch 2012: Geno Smith vs. Collin Klein this week looms large
Well, we've got a race now. Heisman leader Geno Smith plays for a team with a bad—no, awful—loss on its resume now. If West Virginia lost by 35 at Texas Tech, how many losses might follow?
It wouldn't seem that Smith (or anyone) could possibly win the award with more than the three defeats Robert Griffin III and Baylor sustained in 2011. Three might even be unsustainable as far as Smith's candidacy is concerned; the Mountaineers certainly are dealing with higher expectations than the Bears were.
MORE: AP Top 25 | Week 7 roundup
Point is, to repeat: We've got a race now. A top five entering Week 8:
1. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
RG3 persevered through a stretch of three losses in four games last season—included consecutive blowouts at Texas A&M (55-28) and Oklahoma State (59-24) in which his production was just so-so. Clearly, Smith can get past this Texas Tech debacle. Question is: Won't Collin Klein overtake him if K-State wins next weekend in Morgantown?
Season stats: 195-of-259 (75.3 percent) for 2,271 yards (378.5 per game), 25 TDs, 0 INTs; 180.8 pass efficiency rating; 71 yards, 1 TD rushing.
Next game: vs. Kansas State on Oct. 20.
2. Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State
Big plays galore with this guy; most recently, a 67-yard touchdown run as well as scoring passes of 60 and 46 yards in a crazy 52-49 win at Indiana. As we say each week now, the Buckeyes are gunning for 12-0. That wouldn't get them into the postseason mix, but you can bet it'd give them the Heisman winner … unless, and only unless, WVU or K-State also wins out.
Season stats: 96-of-159 (60.4 percent) for 1,271 yards (181.6 per game), 11 TDs, 4 INTs; 145.3 pass efficiency rating; 912 yards, 9 TDs rushing.
Next game: vs. Purdue on Oct. 20.
3. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State
This game against Smith and the Mountaineers is the biggest Heisman opportunity any player has had all season. Not even RG3 had such an obvious Heisman situation teed up for him last year. Klein can't afford a Wildcats loss, though; his numbers just don't wow enough.
Season stats: 79-of-118 (67 percent) for 1,074 yards (179 per game), 7 TDs, 2 INTs; 159.6 pass efficiency rating; 510 yards, 10 TDs rushing.
Next game: at West Virginia on Oct. 20.
4. Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
This continues to be a real possibility. The schedule is Te'o's best friend: Games at Oklahoma and USC will be true Heisman stages. The Irish probably have to go 12-0 for Te'o to win the award, but 11-1 could get him to New York.
Season stats: 59 tackles (9.8 per game), 3 INTs, 2 fumble recoveries.
Next game: vs. BYU on Oct. 20.
5. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Overall, Manziel probably has the best stats of any player in America. If the freshman is able to lead an upset of LSU this weekend, he'll cement himself into the top five.
Season stats: 128-of-190 (67.4 percent) for 1,680 yards (280 per game), 14 TDs, 3 INTs; 162.8 pass efficiency rating; 676 yards, 10 TDs rushing.
Next game: vs. LSU on Oct. 20.

I've been fascinated with video games and computers for as long as I can remember. It was always a treat to get dragged to the mall with my parents because I'd get to play for a few minutes on the Atari 2600. I partially blame Asteroids, the crack cocaine of arcade games, for my low GPA in college which eventually led me to temporarily ditch academics and join the USAF to "see the world." The rest of the blame goes to my passion for all things aviation, and the opportunity to work on work on the truly awesome SR-71 Blackbird sealed the deal.
My first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1 that I bought in 1977 when they first came out. At that time you had to order them through a Radio Shack store - Tandy didn't think they'd sell enough to justify stocking them in the retail stores. My favorite game then was the SubLogic Flight Simulator, which was the great Grandaddy of the Microsoft flight sims.
While I was in the military, I bought a Commodore 64. From there I moved on up through the PC line, always buying just enough machine to support the latest version of the flight sims. I never really paid much attention to consoles until the Dreamcast came out. I now have an Xbox for my console games, and a 1ghz Celeron with a GeForce4 for graphics. Being married and having a very expensive toy (my airplane) means I don't get to spend a lot of money on the lastest/greatest PC and console hardware.
My interests these days are primarily auto racing and flying sims on the PC. I'm too old and slow to do well at the FPS twitchers or fighting games, but I do enjoy online Rainbow 6 or the like now and then, although I had to give up Americas Army due to my complete inability to discern friend from foe. I have the Xbox mostly to play games with my daughter and for the sports games.

Mammals are the highest class of vertebrates and the female has mammary glands which secrete milk for the nourishment of young after birth. Mammals are warm-blooded and the majority of their body is covered with hair. Mammals give birth to live young (except the platypus and echidna, who lay eggs). They also have three middle ear bones.
Most mammals live solely on land, but there are several groups that have specifically evolved to exist solely in aquatic environments (dolphins and whales) one of which is the largest of all animals. Only one group has mastered the art of true flight (bats) although several have developed the ability to glide through tree tops.
Binturong Cheetahs Dingoes Echidnas Elephants Giraffe Goats Kangaroos Koalas Lemurs Meerkats Otters Possums and Gliders Red Panda Rhinoceros Tasmanian Devils Tigers Wombats Zebra
Birds are warm-blooded, egg-laying, vertebrate animals. They are covered in feathers and their forelimbs are modified into wings which are used for flight. Their feathers are highly protective against cold and also against water. Birds have adapted for flight with their bones being made up of a honeycomb structure so as to reduce their structural weight. They also have acute eyesight and hearing but little sense of smell. Most birds are diurnal (only active during the day) although some have become specifically adapted to a nocturnal lifestyle (only active during the night).
Depending upon the species, birds feed on a variety of food sources; nectar, seeds, insects, rodents, fish and even on other birds however all have specific adaptations to aid in their individual feeding technique. Most birds build a nest in which they lay their eggs, although there are a few that actually lay their eggs in other birds' nests so as to 'trick' the other birds into raising their young (Cuckoos)! Eggs, like birds, vary in colour, size and shape.
Cormorants and Darters Exotic Parrots Finches Ibis Kingfishers Native Parrots Nightjars Pittas Raptors Ratites Stone Curlews Storks and Cranes
Animals that have dry scaly skin and are ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates are called reptiles. The major way reptiles differ from mammals and birds is that they are ectothermic (cold-blooded). This does not mean that they necessarily have cold blood but rather that they cannot regulate their own body temperature through any means other than modifying their behavior. To heat up they use an external heat source within their environment such as basking in the sun or sitting on a hot rock (most mammals would shiver). To cool down they choose a cooler area to rest (most mammals would sweat). Due to this they are generally found through out the warmer regions of the world although a few have adapted to quite cold areas (even where it snows)! Most reptiles though are found in the tropics. The majority of reptile groups also live on land, although there are a few that have specialized to live in water. Reptiles can only breathe air and do not possess gills. They have thick waterproof skins to retain their body moisture.
Most reptiles lay eggs (oviparous), however there are a few species that incubate and hatch their eggs internally (ovoviviparous). Reptile eggs contain a large quantity of yolk to nourish the embryo, and they have a porous shell. Most reptiles are carnivorous.

"Think we'll be able to see it from here?"
Working three miles from Washington-Dulles Airport meant that my coworkers and I had a pretty good chance of seeing Discovery, especially from the top floors of our building, and potential viewing locations were a frequent topic of discussion in the days leading up to its arrival.
Not wanting to take a chance, I decided to head to the Udvar-Hazy Center, the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum annex near the airport to watch Discovery arrive. The parking lot was opened at 8 AM, and by the time I arrived an hour later, almost all two thousand spaces were filled. The crowds had spread out in search of viewing spots, and I decided to head for the berm that flanked the museum.
The crowds gathered in downtown D.C. were treated to a show as the pair soared over the Mall, swooping past the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the White House for three loops before heading back to land at Dulles.
On Thursday, Discovery will be officially transferred to the Smithsonian, and Ars will be on hand for the transfer ceremony.

With a year-end deadline looming before the economy goes over the so-called fiscal cliff, President Barack Obama is cutting short his traditional Christmas holiday in Hawaii, planning to leave for Washington on Wednesday evening.
Obama was expected to arrive in Washington early Thursday, the White House said late Tuesday. First lady Michelle Obama and the couple's two daughters are scheduled to remain in Hawaii until Jan. 6.
In the past, the president's end-of-the-year holiday in his native state had stretched into the new year. The first family left Washington last Friday night.
U.S. & World
Congress was expected to return to Washington on Thursday. Before he departed for Hawaii, Obama told reporters he expected to be back in the capital this week.
The House Republican leadership said Wednesday that it's now up to the Democrat-controlled Senate to come up with a bill the House can approve. They gave no hint that they intend to call lawmakers back into session unless the Senate first passes legislation.
"The House has acted on two bills which collectively would avert the entire fiscal cliff if enacted," House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican leaders wrote in a joint statement. "Those bills await action by the Senate. If the Senate will not approve and send them to the president to be signed into law in their current form, they must be amended and returned to the House."
They added that "the lines of communication remain open" and that they will "continue to work with our colleagues to avert the largest tax hike in American history, and to address the underlying problem, which is spending."
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid replied in a statement that "right now, the Senate bill is the only bill that can become law, and House Republicans owe it to middle class families to let it pass with Democratic and Republican votes."
Without action by Obama and Congress, automatic budget cuts and tax increases are set to begin in January, which many economists say could send the country back into recession. So far, the president and congressional Republicans have been unable to reach agreement on any alternatives.
Lawmakers have expressed little but pessimism for the prospect of an agreement coming before Jan. 1. On Sunday, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said she expects any action in the waning days of the year to be "a patch because in four days we can't solve everything."
With the collapse last week of House Speaker John Boehner's plan to allow tax rates to rise on million-dollar-plus incomes, lawmakers were increasingly worried that no deal can be reached.
They were already preparing their arguments about who is to blame if the new year comes without an agreement.
Obama already has scaled back his ambitions for a sweeping budget bargain. Before leaving the capital on Friday, he called for a limited measure that extends George W. Bush-era tax cuts for most people and staves off federal spending cuts.
The Obamas were spending the holiday at a rented home near Honolulu. On Christmas Day, the president and first lady visited with members of the military to express thanks for their service.
"One of my favorite things is always coming to base on Christmas Day just to meet you and say 'thank you,'" the president said at Marine Corps Base Hawaii's Anderson Hall. He said that being commander in chief was his greatest honor as president.
Obama took photos with individual service members and their families.
On Christmas Eve, Obama called members of the military to thank them for serving the nation, then joined his family for dinner, the White House said. The Obamas opened gifts Christmas morning, ate breakfast and sang carols.
Friends were joining the Obamas for Christmas dinner Tuesday night, the White House said.
