Can anyone advise me on works made by Tappa Zukie in Black Ark in the mid 1970's?
I know he cut Prince Allah "Bosrah" there as well as some tunes with Knowledge, such as Centry and Make Faith, as well as What's Yours.
But does anyone know what else he cut there, either by himself, Knowledge, or anyone else?
I have a tune called Bad More Than That by Musical Intimidators that I would like to discover more about and anything else he did really, as he is my favourite MC and a brilliant producer.
thanks in advance

"We played a lot better, with more intensity, and we took better care of the ball," said GCHS head coach Rick Lopez of the Nov. 27 contest. The Lady Devils had lost to Green River by 25 points the previous week.
"We played really good defense, but we just need to get more aggressive in scoring," added Lopez.
Both teams shot poorly from the field throughout the mistake-filled contest, which featured numerous turnovers and fouls in addition to the many missed shots. Monticello made just 8-of-28 from the free throw line during the game, while Grand converted 5-of-12 of its free throws.
The game was close throughout, with Monticello leading just 9-8 at halftime and 14-13 at the end of the third quarter.
GHCS senior Kenzie Taysom suffered a knee injury in the second half and is out for the season, according to the Lady Devils' coach. Coach Lopez said that Taysom tore a ligament in her knee.
Three other Grand players had fouled out by the end of the contest, with Alena Geiser, Madi Jones, and Chacon. "But the second half we put out a little more pressure, which was enough for us to come ahead and win by one."
Grand's varsity team had a tougher time Friday, Nov. 30, when the Red Devils played their first home game against the Gunnison Bulldogs. Grand lost that contest 48-36.
The Red Devils opened strong, outscoring the formidable Bulldogs 13-12 in the first quarter, but Gunnison outscored Grand in the second quarter to take a 21-19 lead at the half.
As the third quarter opened, Grand's game fell apart, and numerous fouls caused the Red Devils a lot of trouble as the Bulldogs took a decisive 39-23 lead. While Grand outscored Gunnison in the final quarter of the game, it just wasn't enough to pull out a win, and the Red Devils lost 48-36.
It wasn't all bad, though, as several of Grand's players had strong games. Junior Koi Cook scored 12 points for the Red Devils, and Walker added 11. Cook was later named MaxPreps' Player of the Game, in that contest.
"We played a really, really good game," said Clark. "And as a whole I think our defense did really, really good. We just had a very poor third quarter and we didn't execute the plays we should have.
"Another thing that I think contributed was that we only got 20 rebounds the entire game, which is quite a few less than we had at Green River. In addition, Gunnison had 34 free-throws, while we shot seven, which I think means that we didn't get the calls, or we really need to do a better job of taking the ball to the basket and not getting fouled up.
"But, Koi [Cook] played a great game. He had seven rebounds, was named player of the game … I think he just did an excellent job and even with the loss I'm really happy with how our team played."
The Red Devils are on the road Thursday and Friday, Dec. 6 and 7, in Parowan and Beaver. On Tuesday, Dec. 11, Grand will have its second home game, against Green River. Varsity play for all three games begins at 7 p.m.

I know it's #1 O against #1 D, but I am much more concerned with #8 D vs our O. Could be ugly, but taking the home crowd into consideration, I pick:
Pats 17, Hawks 7
I hate it when I'm brutally honest with myself!
Kolsteseahawks wrote:you guys are all ridiculous picking the hawks to lose.
PatsFanNH wrote:Noticed NONE of those guys are slot WR, and AZ ONLY has Fitz the rest stink.
Also you have not faced a QB on top of his game yet, where NE has faced Manning and Flacco.. Also dont let yardage etc fool you the Pats D kept every O in check except for Baltimore. they averaged roughly 13 points when the game still matters... and I put Wilson somewhere just ahead of Kolb and Locker but way way behind Manning and Flacco.

See New 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' Movie Poster
A new poster from the Katy Perry biopic 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' has been revealed. The simple images shares a lot about the films rags-to-riches, dream-to-reality story.
A teenage (dream) Perry is in her girlish bedroom, singing into a hairbrush in front of the mirror like most youngins with rock star aspirations often do behind closed doors. She's wearing a typical teen uniform of a cute mini-skirt and and thigh-high socks, with a record player at her feet. As for the image reflected in the mirror? It's the blue-haired, strawberry dress-wearing diva, performing before her adoring crowd.
It's Katy, then and now.
'Katy Perry: Part of Me' is a 3D spectacle, reportedly sans all footage of estranged (and soon to be ex) hubby Russell Brand. It hits theaters on July 5 when most of you will be BBQing and swilling beer or lemonade (if you are under 21) in celebration of the country's independence.
Still, you can inject a little candy-coated color and sugary sweetness into your life by seeing the movie. It's an intimate look at Katy Hudson becoming Katy Perry, the pop starlet you love to love.

The odds should favor Senate confirmation of Chuck Hagel as President Barack Obama's next defense secretary despite strong Republican criticism at Thursday's Senate confirmation hearing.
For one thing, Senate rejections of Cabinet nominations are rare. It hasn't happened since March 1989, when President George H.W. Bush's nomination of former Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, for the top Pentagon job was killed 53-47. Tower faced allegations of private misconduct.
One week ago, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., drew bipartisan praise at his hearing to be secretary of state. He was later confirmed 94-3.
If Hagel prevails, it will be by a much slimmer margin.
But the numbers don't say everything.
When a nomination becomes toxic, it is often withdrawn well before a vote.
President Bill Clinton withdrew his first two attorney general nominations — first attorney Zoe Baird and then New York federal Judge Kimba Wood, both for hiring illegal immigrants as nannies.
President George W. Bush withdrew his nomination of Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner, to be Homeland Security Secretary for various reasons.
Obama backed away from New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as commerce secretary because of an investigation — later dropped — into his business dealings. Richardson had been Clinton's U.N. ambassador and energy secretary.
Obama also withdrew nominations of former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle to be health and human services secretary and Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., to be commerce secretary. Daschle was embroiled in an income tax dispute, and Gregg said he disagreed with Obama on stimulus legislation and other policies.
Right now, Hagel's nomination seems far from being in such peril.
The nominee rejected GOP charges he was insufficiently supportive of Israel, soft on Iran and too eager to cut defense spending. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., told him his views were "deeply troubling and out of the mainstream."
But former Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-Va., backed his former colleague, praising him with a glowing introduction.
Then Warner told Hagel: "You're on your own. Good luck."

WING MEN: The board of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. will meet to consider whether the company should merge with US Airways or remain independent, but a decision is unlikely this week.
MOMENTUM TAKING OFF: Analysts say recent events have made a merger more likely. They cite a run-up in US Airways' stock price and a pending agreement on how pilots from the two airlines would be combined into one workforce.
WHO'S NO. 1? If there is a merger, the combined company would rival United Airlines as the world's biggest carrier while leapfrogging over No. 2 Delta Air Lines.

Recently, GM's press-fleet reps asked us to get behind the wheel and experience the thrill of the substantially revised '08 Corvette. All we could say was, "430-plus horses in an entry-level Vette? Where do we sign up?"
Our Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat coupe came to us equipped with the standard LS3 powerplant, advertising 436 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. It featured new heads and a block similar to those found on the top-of-the-line LS7 (505 hp), but in a mass-production-friendly package. This engine was mated to the brand-new T6060 six-speed manual transmission, which permanently replaces the venerable T56 in all stick-shift Corvettes, including the Z06.
Our test car was equipped with the heavy-duty MZ6 variant of this trans, which is only installed in cars ordered with the Z51 performance package. It housed a unique gear set optimized for performance use; wider gears to increase torque-handling capability (to 428 lb-ft); a stronger, one-piece countershaft; a strengthened housing to minimize flex; and a double-cone reverse-gear synchronizer.
With the new transmission also came a revised shifter assembly, which delivered on its promise of shorter throws and a quicker gate response than last year's model. Chevy says this newfound slickness is attributable to a redesign of the shifter, revised gate-to-gate locations, and less 12 percent rail travel than the old unit. We found it a breeze to accelerate through the six forward gears; it was nearly impossible to miss a shift.
The Z51 option brought larger (13.4/13.0-inch), cross-drilled brake rotors; performance-tuned P245/40ZR18 and P285/35ZR19 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar EMT tires; 30.7 and 25.2mm stabilizer bars; 86 N/mm and 135 N/mm-rate springs; passive shocks that offer increased damping over the stock units; and a 3.42 gear ratio. Allied with the potent LS3 engine, the Z51 gear helped our test Corvette feel as close to a Z06 as its 50-something price tag would allow.
We were also pleased with the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group, which returns this year with an upgraded six-disc CD changer, a Bose premium seven speaker system, heads-up display, a power telescoping wheel, heated seats, a memory package, a universal home remote, and a host of other luxuries.
Also new in '08 (and included on our test car) is a polycarbonate version of the optional transparent roof panel, replacing the glass roof used on previous models. In addition to offering a weight savings over its predecessor, the new top is designed to be virtually unbreakable under typical-use conditions. On the downside, it had a much cheaper feel than the old glass unit.
As you may have deduced from the output figures cited earlier, our test car was equipped with the new-for-'08 dual-mode performance exhaust system. According to Chevrolet, this 2.5-inch exhaust is similar in design and function to the 3.0-inch system used on the Z06. It features vacuum-actuated outlet valves that remain shut to control engine noise during low-load operation, then pivot open for maximum performance during high-load operation.
Our test of the '08 Corvette in a variety of conditions yielded a significant thumbs-up as compared with the '07 model. We were especially pleased with the LS3 and the performance it produces for a standard engine. We were equally impressed with the handling characteristics of the Z51 suspension, which makes the car fully track-capable without any tinkering. At a base price of $45,170 ($56,185 as tested), the '08 Corvette continues the marque's longstanding tradition of delivering world-class performance in a relatively affordable package.
Power to the People
Dyno-Testing The Fastest Base Vette Yet Although our test drive provided plenty of subjective evidence of the new Vette's brawn, we wanted to know exactly how the output of the '08 model stacked up against that of its LS2-powered predecessor. As we have so often in the past, we headed over to AntiVenom in nearby Seffner, Florida, to perform a series of pulls on the shop's chassis dyno. While there, we also took a closer look at some of the mechanical features that set the new car apart from last year's model.
With the 400 rwhp mark in sight, AntiVenom's Greg Lovell decided to do a little high-performance experimentation. First, he removed the stock intake tract in an attempt to roughly simulate the effects of an aftermarket induction system. Output jumped to 392.60/377.70, or 461.88/444.35 at the crank. His second tweak involved removing the LS3's accessory belt to approximate the benefits of an electric water pump. The results were stunning: 404.03/391.4 at the wheels, or 475.32/460.47 at the flywheel! Add a set of long-tube headers and a more aggressive PCM tune, and LS7-quality output seems well within reach.

Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry.
Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical.
The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time.

A city councilor is calling on the city administration to focus on jump-starting redevelopment efforts for the former PresMet manufacturing property between Green and Harding streets.
While the city has focused much attention on redeveloping the former Wyman-Gordon property off Kelley Square, District 2 Councilor Philip P. Palmieri said, redevelopment of the PresMet property is a more pressing issue.
He said the property, which pretty much sits in the heart of the Canal District, is �absolutely essential� to the district and �critical� to its future growth.
GKN Sinter Metals last operated the 112 Harding St. plant after purchasing PresMet Corp. in 2001. The company closed it in 2007. At the time it was shut down, it employed 150.
Mr. Palmieri said it has been suggested the property could be a potential site for the proposed twin indoor hockey rinks that have been talked about at the Francis J. McGrath Municipal Parking Lot behind the Worcester Public Library. The properties total approximately 2.8 acres.
That idea has drawn strong opposition from public library officials and supporters of the library.
The councilor called on the administration to attempt to communicate with the owner about the future of the property. He said if the owner is unwilling to talk to the city about it, he would not hesitate bringing the matter up on the council floor.
�We�re not talking about just one building,� Mr. Palmieri said. �There are contiguous smaller buildings and lots. This is a critical project; the property is unkempt and it�s just awful for the (Canal) district. There are many properties in the Canal District that need to be worked on, but this one needs to be dealt with right now.
�We need to communicate with this company because there hasn�t been any,� he added. �I hope the administration can be successful in reaching out to this group and hopefully more successful than we�ve had in the past with Wyman-Gordon. If they are unwilling to talk, then we need to get this to the council floor and get it to Economic Development (Committee); that�s how critical an issue this is for the Canal District.�

June 2017 In this video, Dr. Terry Jernigan describes the purpose and goals of the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.
January 2017
The Strengthening Families Program for Youth 10-14 (SFP10-14), an evidence-based intervention that reduces teen substance use, also reduced participants' friends' substance use. Two factors that accounted for the nonparticipants' reductions were less time spent by nonparticipants with their participating friends without adult supervision and improvements in nonparticipants' attitudes toward substance use. The findings suggest that researchers should consider the potential for diffusion of benefits in designing and implementing prevention programs.
December 2012
Study findings indicate that children exposed to methamphetamine prenatally show more signs of increased emotionality, anxiety, and depression than nonexposed children at ages 3 and 5 years.
November 2012 The NIDA-supported Good Behavior Game recently was honored with the 2012 Mentor International Best Practice Award. The game, which focuses on reducing disruptive behaviors in elementary school classrooms, has been shown to prevent drug abuse and other problems in adolescence and young adulthood.
April 2012 A program involving home visits by nurses to low-income first-time mothers, starting during pregnancy and extending into the second year of their children's lives, has a positive and long-lasting impact on families. Children who participated in the program were less likely than others to report having used alcohol, cigarettes, or marijuana at age 12.
March 2011
Describes a community focused prevention program that aids towns in lowering rates of delinquency, initiation of alcohol and tobacco use, and binge drinking among middle school students.
December 2010 Discusses rates of substance use or abuse among mothers with at-home children and the factors that may contribute to the abuse.
October 2010
Reports on a school-centered program for social and emotional development that was credited with reducing rates of substance abuse, violent behavior, and voluntary sexual activity among primary school children.
April 2010 Presents research findings on a study to test the effectiveness of a classroom activity designed to instill appropriate behavior during children's first 2 years of school.
November 2009 Highlights activities held during Brain Awareness Week for students in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, to learn about brain anatomy and function.

Why did Barack Obama decide last week to "play the race card," predicting that his political opponents would try to scare voters by pointing out that he doesn't look like the presidents on our paper money? Obama's move wasn't well calculated to help him. As a general rule, the first candidate to talk about race comes off the loser, and that seemed particularly likely here, where much of Obama's original appeal stemmed from the idea that he was "post-racial." Sure enough, it's widely agreed that Obama was the loser in this flap.
So why did he do it?
One theory is that he felt frustrated that the bounce he thought he would get from his trip abroad was already fading, and frustrated generally that he wasn't pulling decisively away from McCain. Another theory is that the "race card" is something Obama fears as a general matter, and that the fear simply bubbles up into in public utterances from time to time. After all, this wasn't the first time Obama had made such a remark.
Given the timing of this utterance, though, it's possible that Obama was making a calculated bid to take certain legitimate race-related issues off the table. Obama made the remark about not looking like other presidents on Wednesday, July 30. During the previous weekend, McCain had said, in response to a question on one of the talk shows, that he supported a referendum in Arizona banning the state from engaging in racial preferences. Obama opposes this and other similarly worded propositions. As I argued here, McCain is on the popular side of this issue.
That same weekend, Obama had told a group of minority journalists that "whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds." Although Obama in the past has studiously opposed monetary reparations as compensation for slavery, his statement to the journalists could easily be construed as opening that door, leaving Obama on the unpopular side of another race-related issue.
Perhaps, then, Obama was attempting to preempt McCain and/or McCain's supporters from attacking Obama on two hot-button issues — racial preferences and reparations — where he sensed new vulnerability.
Did it work? At one level, probably not. As noted, Obama lost the battle that ensued. And having cried wolf once with regard to his race, Obama may be hard-pressed successfully to cry it again if McCain raises legitimate issues of public policy pertaining to race.
On the other hand, McCain could reasonably believe he won last week's battle because it was obvious that he has steered clear of racial issues. This may reinforce McCain's desire (as I see it) not to "go there" even with respect to legitimate issues.

If your job requires you to be on call, then you probably carry a beeper or pager, or you have a phone that receives text messages when a mission-critical server or service goes down. But this is only part of the picture—you really need to know what the entire network is doing to be able to properly diagnose the problem. If you were at the office, you would fire up your network monitoring system and zero in on the problem. But if you're like me, these things usually happen when you're on the 14th hole of a disastrous golf game. It sure would be nice to know what the real problem was, and to know without a doubt if the problem were truly serious.
Several products let you monitor your network's status from your smartphone. Two of the products I reviewed, Paessler's iPRTG and GroundWork Open Source's Brooklyn For Nagios, work exclusively on Apple devices (iPod, iPhone, and iPad). The third product, ManageEngine's OpManager Smartphone GUI, can be used on most mobile browsers, including Apple products. I used an Apple iPhone 3GS to test each product. The two iPhone-ready apps point to a demo back-end monitoring system by default, so I could easily put the applications through the paces. But the OpManager Smartphone browser-based application is exactly that: a browser-based application. Therefore, I had to set up a complete ManageEngine OpManager server to test the application.
Installing the Apple-only products (iPRTG and Brooklyn For Nagios) involved using the Apple iTunes Store to redeem a coupon that you receive after purchasing the software. For more information about redeeming this coupon, see the iTunes article "How to redeem an iTunes Gift Card".
OpManager Smartphone GUI is accessed through your favorite mobile browser. Therefore, you don't have to install any software on your phone.
Each product is written for a specific company's back-end monitoring solution. In other words, iPRTG is designed to work with PRTG Network Monitor, Brooklyn For Nagios is designed to work with Nagios, and OpManager Smartphone GUI is designed to work with OpManager. You can't use one company's iPhone app and hook up to another company's solution. Therefore, these mobile monitoring solutions should be part of your overall evaluation when you select a network monitoring solution.
All three products were very intuitive and easy to navigate. I never became lost in a maze of options or menus. Although there were clear differences between what the products could do, I found them to be very similar in overall function.
Each of the iPhone and mobile web browser applications I reviewed is designed to consume the content of back-end network monitoring solutions. You can't set up a new server or service to be monitored, nor can you add new users to the back-end monitoring system. Think of these tools as read-only.
Each product connects to its back-end monitoring system over the Internet, either on port 80 or port 443, and requires a username and password. Just as for any service that you use over the Internet, you need to take precautions to keep your company data secure, such as using SSL (port 443) and a strong username/password policy.
iPRTG was designed to work with PRTG Network Monitor and uses a simple interface that packs in an abundance of information. For example, if you're monitoring a website, iPRTG shows you the website's address, the loading time of the website (in milliseconds), how long it has been up, when it was down last, and the overall uptime statistics.
As Figure 1 shows, the home page shows a list of favorites, which keeps your most important servers' information at your fingertips. If a server indicates a problem, iPRTG shows you exactly what the problem is and can even display the same graph as the full GUI product shows. In addition to the simple up/down indicators, iPRTG has live graphs and snapshots of data from 2 days, 30 days, and 1 year ago.
Figure 1: iPRTG home page
In case you support more than one company or location, iPRTG supports multiple accounts. These accounts can be saved so that you don't have to log on to each one. For networks with a lot of systems, iPRTG includes a handy search feature that lets you zero in on the specific device you're looking for.
When you do have a problem with a server, you can acknowledge the error on your iPhone. If you need to dive in further, the iPhone app has a link to the main PRTG web interface that's similar to the desktop interface, allowing you to perform advanced functions.
Brooklyn For Nagios
Brooklyn For Nagios has the simplest interface by far—mainly because it lacks the other two products' rich features. Instead of the other products' deep details, Brooklyn displays whether the host is up or down and when it was last checked, as Figure 2 shows.
Figure 2: Brooklyn For Nagios interface
Just about the only feature Brooklyn has is the ability to acknowledge an outage. After you do this, it's time to break out the laptop, connect the phone for Internet access, and fire up the VPN. This is the only way you can dig deeper into the problem, because Brooklyn lacks any other tools to help you. It doesn't have graphs or any other troubleshooting tools to help you narrow down the problem.
Does this mean Brooklyn For Nagios is a bad product? No, and here's why: Brooklyn's back end is Nagios, which is an open-source platform. This fact might make Brooklyn the ideal choice if you're looking for a mobile view of an inexpensive monitoring solution. Although Brooklyn itself isn't free, Nagios is.
Brooklyn For Nagios
OpManager Smartphone GUI
I was worried about reviewing OpManager Smartphone GUI, which is OpManager's mobile front end. How could an HTML product compete with a native iPhone app? The truth is, it competes well—and in many cases, it's actually better.
The product's home page has six simple icons. Two of the icons, Down Devices and All Alarms, immediately indicate whether there's a problem. The list of devices includes indicators for the kind of device (e.g., Microsoft, Dell), as well as CPU and memory utilization.
When a device does go down, OpManager Smartphone GUI gives you two real troubleshooting tools, Ping and Trace Route, that you can use to help narrow down the actual problem. These aren't last-result ping results, but on-the-fly pings that give you an immediate response.
Figure 3: OpManager Smartphone GUI interface
OpManager Smartphone GUI lacks the cool graphs that the full product includes, instead replacing them with simple number indicators, as Figure 3 shows. This tradeoff is likely because of a mobile phone screen's obvious lack of space.
OpManager Smartphone GUI
Editor's Choice
This review is less focused on which product is better than the others and more focused on simply letting you know what's available. After all, if you're already using a particular product for network monitoring, your choices for an iPhone app are pretty much limited to the solutions that vendor offers. However, of the products I reviewed, OpManager Smartphone GUI gets the Editor's Choice award for smartphone-capable network monitoring.

Another View -- James T. Brett and Ross Gittell: The sequester would do real damage to New EnglandJAMES T. BRETT and ROSS GITTELL
February 23. 2013 1:20AM
For the last 18 months, Washington policymakers seem to have lurched from crisis to crisis, and the concept of fiscal "cliff" has become a popular metaphor. In the summer of 2011, the debt-ceiling standoff made the nation's financial standing vulnerable and resulted in the downgrade of the United States' credit rating for the first time in the nation's history. The last-minute resolution of that crisis simply laid the groundwork for the next - the fiscal cliff experienced at the end 2012.
Pulled back from the edge in the wee hours of New Year's Day, Congress passed a "deal" that merely delayed many decisions, leaving key spending questions hanging and the economy uncertain and vulnerable. The new session of Congress, which began in early January, faces a series of deadlines, each promising cliff-hanger drama as partisan lines are drawn yet again. Even the recent resolution of the immediate debt ceiling deadline only delayed the inevitable - another debt ceiling fight is expected just months from now.
Fiscal cliffs, and the chaos leading up to them, are not good for the economy, particularly a regional economy struggling to find its footing after the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Indeed, according to New England Economic Partnership (NEEP) forecast data, at best the region will experience annual employment growth averaging only 1.5 percent, and the overall regional gross product is expected to grow at only 3.3 percent for the next several years.
For New England to make a significant dent in the stubborn unemployment plaguing the region, the overall employment growth would need to be closer to 2 percent. This means that even in a best-case scenario, overall New England unemployment is likely to remain above 6 percent for the next few years.
All the states in the region are expected to have employment growth below the national average for the next three years. Demographic factors, including lower labor force growth than the U.S. average, contribute to slower employment growth than the national average. There will continue to be significant variation in economic performance across the region as well. Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont are expected to have the strongest economies in the region over the forecast period. Rhode Island is expected to continue to have the highest unemployment rate in the region as the state continues its slow recovery from the most significant percentage employment decline in the region.
Given the economic outlook in New England, we cannot afford to find ourselves at "cliff's edge" yet again. The region needs thoughtful, constructive decision-making in Washington that provides some degree of economic certainty. Without it, businesses are reluctant to expand and consumers are hesitant to spend. Alone, that very predictable behavior could easily derail the slow economic recovery of our region. However, the looming 8-10 percent cut in federal spending mandated through the sequestration process could have an even greater impact.
Federal spending on research and development, defense and other areas is interwoven throughout New England's economic fabric. Not only would sequestration affect key business sectors across the region, it would also affect household spending levels if jobs are shed with federal funding cut backs. Given the underlying economic outlook, such blunt policy action could set the New England economy back months, if not years.
Good policy decisions are rarely made in crisis. Last-minute, cliff-hanger approaches to the upcoming federal spending decisions could have serious long-term consequences for New England. We need the best thinking from our policymakers to develop a thoughtful, balanced plan to return to fiscal health, that avoids the run up to yet another "cliff."
James T. Brett is president and CEO of The New England Council, the nation's oldest regional business association. Ross Gittell is vice president and New England forecast manager for the New England Economic Partnership and the chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire.

Photos: Pride, passion, music and fireworks at Paralympic...
The Games are over and the athletes and ...
Hard work is recipe for skier Kuhn's success
In this file photo, the members of Canada's Olympic Cross Country Ski team pose for a group portrait after the team was named in Canmore. They are (back row from left) George Grey, Brian McKeever, Ivan Babikov, Stefan Kuhn, Devon Kershaw, Madeleine Williams, Sara Renner (front row from left) Chandra Crawford, Perianne Jones and Dasha Gaiazova.

CANMORE, Alta. — More than 5,500 athletes and officials from at 80 different countries will descend on Vancouver next week for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
Against the odds, Stefan Kuhn hopes serendipity intervenes to put him in the path of one of his favourite culinary clients.
"I would really love to run into Kevin Lowe," says Kuhn, a soft-spoken member of Canada's cross-country ski team. "It's been a couple years since I've seen him.
"I want to say hi. Tell him I made it."
In 2005, Kuhn worked as the head chef at Jack's Grill — one of Edmonton's finer restaurants. A diehard Oilers fan, Kuhn poked his head out of the kitchen whenever Ethan Moreau, Steve Staios or other Oilers stopped in for a bite to eat.
"I never spoke to them much," Kuhn says. "They generally wanted a quiet evening to be with their wives."
Not so for Lowe, the Oilers' president of hockey operations, and his wife Karen Percy, a double bronze medallist in alpine skiing at the 1988 Olympic in Calgary.
More often than not, the couple sent word for Kuhn to come by for a chat. Inevitably, the conversation turned to the Olympics. Kuhn told his celebrity diners about the childhood dream he had parked in the name of becoming a responsible adult.
A practical sort, Kuhn had decided the pursuit of an Olympic dream came with a too high of a cost.
"Growing up, you have these elite athletes that you look up to," he says. "You see them hit 35 or 36 and then they stop but they have no school to fall back on."
Kuhn despised the thought of launching a new career in his mid-30s, so he walked away from the uncertain life of an amateur athlete to become a chef.
"The thing I like the most about cooking comes when people enjoy your food," he says. "To see that appreciative look on their face when they take the first bite — that's pretty amazing."
Kuhn comes by his love of food honestly as the son of a prominent restaurateur in Canmore, Alta.
"I would go downstairs in the afternoon — and my brother as well — to lick the spatulas from the sweet stuff," he says.
Kuhn took advantage of the portable nature of his chosen occupation, and with his wife Erin, he travelled to Australia to work, surf and sample the local nightlife.
"It was amazing," he says. "We come from such a regimented background in cross-country. We train twice a day, almost every day."
Eventually, real life beckoned and the time came to return to Canada. Erin enrolled in dental hygiene school at the University of Alberta.
Fuelled in part by his chats with Lowe and Percy, Kuhn hit the trails in Edmonton's River Valley. By morning, he roller-skied. By night, he cooked at Jack's.
In the back of his mind, Kuhn figured he might still have a shot of qualifying for the 2010 Winter Games.
"I always had a dream of going to the Olympics," he says. "I enjoyed cooking, but something was missing."
He phoned some of his old friends from the Canadian cross-country team.
"I told them I still wanted to achieve my goal," he says. " And they said, `You were one of the best as a junior. There's no reason why you can't.' "
At age 9, Kuhn took part in the 1988 opening ceremonies at the Canmore Nordic Centre as a Jackrabbit skier.
"I got to carry in the flag of one of the countries and ski around the stadium," he said. "I don't remember which country I was.
"I think I was more worried about looking right and making sure I didn't fall in front of all the crowds."
Twenty-two years later, Kuhn will compete in front of a similar crowd this weekend in Canmore at the last World Cup for any sport before the Vancouver Games.
"It's a full-on dress rehearsal for me," he says. "It's the classic sprint. It's on my home turf in front of my home crowd here.
"I know the trails are going better than everybody, so who knows what can happen? It could be an exciting entrance to the Whistler Olympics."
In an ironic twist, Kuhn has no plans to return to the kitchen in a professional capacity once his competitive skiing days are through.
"It's an under-appreciated profession," he says. "You work 10 or 11 hours. You don't really get a break. You get paid $13 or $14 an hour here in Alberta.
"To raise a family or pay a mortgage is very hard."

1. Keep your hand cream handy.
Hands tend to get especially dry during the winter. We say: There's no such thing as too many tubes of hand cream. You can keep them on your desk, in your bag, and on your nightstand. And use a moisturizing cream that really works, so you don't have to constantly reapply it throughout the day. We recommend Eucerin's Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Hand Crème ($5, amazon.com), which smooths and repairs dry skin without a greasy residue.
2. Only wash your face once a day.
In the humid, sticky summer weather, you can wash your face twice a day. But in the winter, switch to just washing at night so you don't dry out your skin. You can also try replacing your face soap or wash with a cleansing oil that's extra gentle on already roughened skin.
3. Use a moisturizing body wash.
This definitely helps, especially if you're a little lazy when it comes to putting on body lotion. Swap parching sudsy washes for a cleansing oil with fatty acid–rich soybean oil to fortify and protect skin's moisture barrier. We like Eucerin Skin Calming Dry Skin Body Wash ($7, drugstores).
4. Don't take super-hot showers.
Nothing sounds better than a steaming hot shower on a cold day, but hot water is actually the enemy of dry winter skin. "Too much hot water causes increased evaporation of your skin's natural hydration," says dermatologist Anne Chapas, M.D. On your face, minimize skin's contact with hot water by using one of the new micellar cleansers — gentle liquids swiped on with a cotton round to lift off grime and makeup, no rinsing required. Try Aveda Beautifying Creme Cleansing Oil ($30, aveda.com) or Simple Skincare Micellar Cleansing Water ($7, drugstores).
RELATED: Top-Tested Moisturizing Beauty Products »
5. Moisturize twice a day.
If you don't already, try a face and body balm. The thicker texture "seals moisturizing ingredients into dry, cracked, flaking skin," Dr. Chapas says, making them adhere for long-term, intense healing. She suggests using balms and salves with silicone, petrolatum, lanolin, and natural oils. Try GH Seal holder L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Golden Balm ($14, amazon.com).
Wary of putting a heavy salve on your face? Add a drop of a hydration-booster serum that contains hyaluronic acid to a dollop of your regular lotion or cream. "It binds moisture, helping the product hydrate better," Dr. Chapas explains. We like Lierac Hydra-Chrono+ Serum Hydration Booster ($55, lierac-usa.com).
6. Switch to hydrating makeup.
During cold months, replace drying powder makeup with creamy formulas that contain hydrators such as glycerin and vitamin E. Try Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm ($21, clinique.com) and CoverGirl + Olay FaceLift Effect Firming Makeup ($14, amazon.com).
7. Tone down the retinol.
Retinol can cause dryness and irritation, especially combined with already dry weather. If you're set on using strong ingredients like retinols, apply them every other night or even less frequently.
8. Don't forget the rest of your body.
As soon as you get out of the shower, while your skin is still slightly damp, apply a body moisturizer. Try Aveeno Positively Ageless Skin Strengthening Body Cream ($9, amazon.com), which has a calming scent on top of some impressive hydrating abilities.
9. And remember your cuticles, too.
While a hand cream can help dry cuticles, it's better to add a cuticle-specific product to the mix. Cuticle pens are a cinch to apply and mess-free.
10. Humidify. Humidify. Humidify.
The heat that keeps you warm in your home is also very dry, and because the windows are closed, it stays trapped inside. Use a humidifier to add moisture back into the air. (Investing in a humidifier also clears your sinuses, so it's a double whammy against dry winter skin.)
11. Wear gloves and a scarf when you're outside.
The biting wind and cold can wreak havoc on your skin. Bundle up!

Cathy Beck styles her hair in a sensible bob, is the mother of one adult daughter, married, a receptionist for a government agency and enjoys riding motorcycles.
Fifty-eight-year-old Cathy Beck styles her hair in a sensible bob, is the mother of one adult daughter, married, a receptionist for a government agency and enjoys riding motorcycles.
That last attribute stumps quite a few people when they hear Beck loves riding the open road with her husband, Tim Beck, and camping. Her features and soft-spoken voice would make one think she is more likely to vacation at resorts in tropical places that offer room service rather than packing her tent and air mattress in a small trailer pulled behind the Becks' Can-Am Spyder bike in search of their next adventure.
Although she is typically a passenger on the motorcycle, at age 55 she took a class at Davidson County Community College to earn her motorcycle license.
"I drive the bike a little," she said. "Most of the time I am a co-rider."
The couple are members of Paul's Chapel United Church of Christ and live in Lexington.
Beck grew up one of six children in her family in the Thomasville area. She graduated from East Davidson High School in 1973 and later took computer programing courses at DCCC and Forsyth Technical Community College.
She went to work as a computer programmer at Burlington Furniture, where she met her husband. Six months into their marriage, they were both unemployed when the company was sold and their jobs eliminated.
Both went to work in Winston-Salem — she at Integon, now GMAC, and he at NCR. For 26 years, Beck worked there in customer service, as a compliance analyst, computer programmer and test analyst.
"I wanted to come back to my community and work here and give back," she said of her decision to leave GMAC. "My husband and I had talked about it early on and decided I would get a job closer to home when I was near retirement. It didn't happen at 55, 56 or 57. I just couldn't find the right job. Finally I came home one day and my husband said, 'Your job is listed on the Internet.'"
That job was as an office support III employee for the Davidson County Department of Senior Services. She interviewed and was hired in September 2012. She is the receptionist in the lower building on senior services' West Center Street Extension campus. Beck takes care of the billiards room, multipurpose room and the seniors who visit the center for activities. She is also helping with the agency's new sponsors program, where businesses can provide sponsorships of activities and events.
"(Changing jobs) was a lot easier than I thought it would be," she said. "After 26 years, I had a lot of friends at GMAC as you can imagine. But the seniors and the staff here have embraced me and made me feel a part of them. … There's not a day that goes by that I don't get a hug from a senior, and the staff is wonderful here."

Last�Aug. 14, Jared Remy - a man with a long history of run-ins with the law�and assaults on�women -�pleaded not guilty in a�Waltham District Court arraignment to beating his fianc�e Jennifer Martel.
Prosecutors did not request bail.�Remy, the son of former Red Sox player Jerry Remy, was released and the next night Martel was dead in a pool blood at the couple's Waltham apartment.
In the aftermath of the horrific stabbing and beating of the young mother by Remy, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan instituted changes designed to better protect victims from their alleged abusers, including a more aggressive approach to requesting bail.
Remy pleaded guilty to first-degree murder on May 27 and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
"I've prosecuted many of these cases throughout the years," said Ryan. "I have a good understanding of this issue and it informs our decisions going forward."
The new policy was�in place even before an independent review, conducted by Kevin Burke, former Essex County district attorney and secretary of public safety, and Jeanmarie Carroll, Norfolk County first assistant district attorney,�recommended a series of changes.
Now, before�arraignment each domestic abuse case is rigorously reviewed.�Prosecutors who are screening arraignments will read each report and review a suspect's record. They will then talk to a supervisor and review the case.
Ryan said prosecutors and victim/witness advocates will then call�the alleged victim, and if they can't reach that person,�they will ask the local police department to�go to that person's home.
All of that is done�before a decision on�whether bail�will be requested, and how much will be asked for, as well as conditions placed on a person upon release, Ryan said.
"The ultimate goal is to protect the victims," she said.
Would Martel still be alive if that practice had been�in place when Remy�was arraigned on Aug. 14? It's impossible to�say for certain�because setting bail is ultimately left up to a judge.
Several defense lawyers who often practice in Framingham District Court and other Middlesex County courts, said sometimes the district attorney's office pushes bail amounts�too far. They said prosecutors will often request high bails, or even seek� to have someone held without a bail as a danger, when the likelihood of prosecution is small.
"Personally, I think it's a bit over the top," said Framingham defense lawyer David Levinson, "especially in the cases were you have a victim in the courtroom and they say they're not in fear and they're requesting bail even when the cases will most likely end before the trial."
Levinson said the district attorney's office frequently�asks judges to rule�that a defendant is a danger to the public and should be held�without bail. While defendants cannot be held�in such cases without a full hearing, judges will often grant such�hearings to prosecutors. Until such a hearing, a�defendant may be held�for three days.
"It's very punitive," said Levinson. "They're using that opportunity to try the case and hold someone who shouldn't be held."
Another defense lawyer, Daniel Cappetta, who worked in the district attorney's office until 2010, said things have changed significantly.
"There is a marked difference in the way domestic violence cases are handled since my time in the office,"�he said. "The office is much more quick to ask for bail, 58A dangerousness detention, even if the alleged victim doesn't want such action taken. The end result of this change is that sometimes people end up in jail even on cases where there is little to no chance the case can ever be proven at trial."
Often, prosecutors will ask the judge to order a suspect to stay away�from�the alleged victim, even if the victim is against such an order. Some judges have expressed frustration with such requests.
At an arraignment for a woman charged with assaulting her mother in May, prosecutor Laura Montes�asked Judge Sarah Singer to order the woman to have no contact with her mother, despite the mother - who was in the courtroom -�telling both the prosecutor and defense lawyer she did not want that as a condition of release.
The request angered Singer, who said prosecutors asking for requests that they have no hope of getting "makes me take all of your requests for bail and conditions less serious."
Levinson said he sees�judges' frustration often while handling arraignments.
"I think the judges realize the district attorney's requests are overkill and they see the cases aren't going anywhere and they'll set a reasonable bail," Levinson said.
But, Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early said his office has a similar policy to� Middlesex and will ask for similar conditions, even if the victim�opposes those conditions.
"We can look at it much more unbiased than the victims," said Early. "A lot of times, they (the victims) are worried about significant others losing their jobs, or not having a place to go and they're blaming themselves. We have to get those thoughts out of their heads. Sometimes when the victim says adamantly that 'I won't go forward,' we'll try to find a way to go forward."
Ryan said despite some frustration from judges and defense lawyers, her objective is keeping the victims safe, nothing else.
"My obligation is to make sure my office is doing the best possible job," she said. "My view is it's more important to do it correctly instead of quickly. The ultimate goal is to do it correctly in the interest of public safety."

It's funny the things that you remember. I can remember one time when I was a teenager watching an episode of the Montel Williams show. I don't remember the topic, but I do remember Montel criticizing the U.S. government for spending too much money on military defense and not enough on domestic needs. I remember thinking to myself, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." In the world that I knew, the idea of slashing military spending was absolutely, totally, utterly UNTHINKABLE! I personally had never met anyone who thought that way, so I assumed that anyone who would suggest such a thing had to be either a) naive; b) stupid; c) a tree-hugger; or d) unAmerican.
That was then.
I don't know if it's because I changed or because America has changed (or both), but for years it seemed like the only ones who suggested slashing military spending were groups that few Americans could identify with: like hippies, pacifists, environmental and civil rights activists, and conspiracy theorists. Today, the idea that a significant portion of the nation's economic woes is due to wasteful Pentagon spending can be found both on the left and on the right ends of the political spectrum. It can also be found in the Pentagon.

The Vermont Department of Health strongly supports the use of dental sealants to help prevent tooth decay, despite a Pew Center on the States' Children's Dental Campaign study "Falling Short: Most States Lag on Dental Sealants," released today,
The report gives Vermont a "C" grade for its sealant program in 2012, despite the state being among the best in the nation for children with dental sealants. Sixty-four percent of third graders in Vermont had dental sealants in 2009-2010. The survey data was unavailable to Pew in time to be included in this report.
"The study didn't take into account our most recent survey data, which shows Vermont far exceeds the national average in the number of third graders who have at least one sealant," said Steve Arthur, DDS, director of the Office of Oral Health. "With the more recent data, I believe we would have a much higher rating."
Vermont promotes and supports the use of sealants through the Tooth Tutor Dental Access Program. The program links school children who have not accessed dental care in the past year with local dental offices where they can receive comprehensive dental care, including sealants.
"We thank the dentists and hygienists around the state for their strong support of this important public health measure," said Dr. Arthur. "By continuing to promote and expand the Tooth Tutor Dental Access Program, updating the data we report on sealants, and providing incentives for increased use of all preventive measures, we will continue to improve oral health for Vermont kids."

OPP, Ala., April 14 (UPI) -- Snake supporters gathered in Alabama over the weekend for the 54th Rattlesnake Rodeo in Opp.
The event, which is based around the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, featured demonstrations, races and other snake-themed events. Concession workers also fried up about 200 pounds of rattlesnake during the rodeo.
"You get a little bit of an adrenaline rush. I always tell people that we don't grizzlies down here, this is one of the more dangerous things that you can do. We've been having snakes at this place here for 54 years and we having a bigger crowd every year," event coordinator Don Childre told WTVY.
Rattlesnake hunters were expected to catch over 70 diamondbacks for the event. "We've gotten a few more hunters this year," Childre told the Andalusia Star News. "That has made for a better year."
The Rattlesnake Rodeo is one of the state's top tourist attractions and the festival usually attracts almost 25,000 people throughout the weekend.

Haylie Wagner was back in her element.
For one, the El Modena High graduate was playing in front of dozens of friends and family members this past weekend in the Judi Garman Classic at Cal State Fullerton.
"They had signs and we're cheering loudly for me the entire weekend," Wagner said. "It was nice to be back home."
While she enjoyed the weekend trip back to Southern California, Wagner is more grateful about regularly making a much shorter trip – the walk from the dugout to the circle.
"It feels good to be back out there," explained Wagner, who now plays for the University of Michigan. "I had a little bit of an injury I had to fight through, so it's good to be in the circle again."
The sophomore missed the first 19 games of the season while recovering from a back injury. When Wagner was healthy enough to return, she was slowly brought back into the swing of things. She pitched three innings in her season debut against Central Florida, then tossed five innings against Miami (OH) in her second appearance. In just her third start, Wagner tossed a one-hitter against Illinois State.
"We feel like she has the chance to be a very special player," said Michigan head softball coach Carol Hutchins. "Just how special? We'll have to wait and see about that. But we recruited her for a reason."
Wagner had a historic freshman season in Ann Arbor, compiling a 32-7 record in 2012. Her 50 appearances set a Michigan record. Wagner was named the 2012 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and the league's overall Pitcher of the Year, becoming only the second player in Michigan history to ever do so.
Her stellar freshman campaign also earned her a spot on the Top 50 Watch List for the 2013 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year.
"It was nice to be recognized for last year, but those awards don't help me out there in the circle," Wagner said. "Coming into this year, the goal isn't about winning individual awards, it's been to win the Big Ten and go to Oklahoma City for the World Series."
Michigan (21-7) went 4-1 in the Judi Garman Classic and earned wins over three ranked teams: No. 18 Washington, No. 2 Arizona State and No. 14 Arizona.
The Wolverines capped off the tournament with a 1-0 win over North Carolina State on Saturday morning. Wagner tossed eight innings of shutout softball, limiting the Wolfpack to five hits. She struck out six and walked zero in her longest outing of the season to earn her fourth win.
"She's a very talented player," Hutchins said. "And we think she's the kind of player that can lead us to the College World Series."

Does anybody remember the old "Mary Tyler Moore" show, when Lou Grant tells Mary: "You know what you have Mary? You have spunk." Then after a pause, adds, "I hate spunk."
Well, I happen to love it, and it was so enjoyable to see the Mets show it yesterday at Colorado after getting spanked the night before.
Dillon Gee gave them seven innings when the bullpen needed a breather, and Lucas Duda and David Wright flexed at the plate. Wright always does in the Rocky Mountains.
It was one Saturday afternoon, sure. But, it followed a horrid Friday night. Several times this year they've responded from bad days and bad series with a strong effort.
The Mets are a building team and one must take positive signs when you see them. This was such a time.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Three Charlottesville residents were charged Tuesday with selling fake IDs to thousands of college students across the country, including in Charleston.
After a search of a home near the University of Virginia, federal authorities charged the three with mail fraud, wire fraud, and fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents.
The defendants are Kelly Erin McPhee and Alan McNeil Jones, both 31, and Mark G. Bernardo, whose age was unavailable. Records at U.S. District Court in Charlottesville do not list an attorney for the three.
An affidavit filed by a Homeland Security agent said an investigation revealed that since early 2011, the defendants mailed more than 4,000 parcels containing high-quality phony driver's licenses to address at or near colleges. The operation came to light last year when authorities found fake IDs possessed by several students at the College of Charleston.
The affidavit says the defendants manufactured phony driver's licenses at the home leased by Jones, who also used the alias Joshia Tucker, and conducted their business in cash. Authorities conducted an undercover buy of fake IDs and conducted video surveillance of the house and the local post office where the business maintained a box, the agent wrote.
Investigators executed a search warrant at the home Monday evening and found about $200,000 cash in a safe, as well as "high powered assault rifles" and other firearms in the house, the affidavit says.
McPhee's initial court appearance is set for this morning. Court records don't list a date for the other two.
