Mariah Carey has opened up about her difficult pregnancy for the first time in a new TV interview, revealing she suffered all sorts of problems while she was carrying twins Moroccan and Monroe.
The Hero singer smiled through her nine months as an expectant mom, but admits that it was a near-miracle both babies were born healthy after she suffered high blood pressure, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.
In a 20/20 news special, which will air on Friday night, Carey explains, "I don't think I understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it [pregnancy] really does to your body; it's not just, 'Oh, you don't look pretty and you have a bump…' I was carrying two babies."
"Unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what I went through because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me."
The twins were born at the end of April.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sprint Nextel Corp. on Wednesday said it has agreed to buy U.S. Cellular Corp.'s service areas in the Midwest for $480 million to boost its network capacity in that region.
Sprint, the third-largest U.S. cellphone carrier, is buying spectrum and 585,000 customers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio. That's about 10 percent of U.S. Cellular's customer base and includes its key Chicago and St. Louis markets.
U.S. Cellular said 980 jobs will be lost with the sale. Sprint isn't taking over any employees. U.S. Cellular's headquarters will stay in Chicago. The company's remaining network spans states that include Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon, Maine and North Carolina.
U.S. Cellular shares fell $4.28, or 11 percent, to $34.74 on the news, their lowest point since February 2010, amid a broad market decline.
Analyst Christopher King at Stifel Nicolaus said that while Sprint's offer seems fair, "we believe the spectrum in Chicago and St. Louis represented a portion of the most valuable assets that US Cellular had," and investors were banking on a better return for it. Finding a buyer for the rest of the company will be more difficult now, he said.
Sprint shares fell 7 cents to $5.66 in afternoon trading, as the major indexes fell 2 percent.
The acquisition should boost Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint's data capacity and speeds in the Midwest. It doesn't have as much available spectrum, or space on the airwaves, as the larger carriers do for its new "4G LTE" network, which holds back its speeds.
Last month, Sprint struck a deal to sell 70 percent of itself to Japanese cellphone carrier Softbank Corp. for $20 billion. Though the deal hasn't closed yet, Softbank has lent Sprint money, giving the previously cash-strapped carrier freedom to pursue deals.
U.S. Cellular is the country's sixth-largest wireless carrier, with 5.8 million devices on its network. As wireless data speeds become more and more important to customers, smaller carriers like U.S. Cellular are finding it hard to compete against the biggest carriers, Verizon Wireless and AT&T, and it's been losing high-paying customers at a slow but steady rate for the last three years.
The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the middle of next year.
Also on Wednesday, U.S. Cellular said its third-quarter net income dropped 43 percent, as the company subsidized sales of new smartphones.
U.S. Cellular earned $35.5 million, or 42 cents per share, down from $62.1 million, or 73 cents per share, in the same quarter last year. Revenue rose 3 percent to $1.14 billion.

Bulldogs Struggle From Foul Line In Loss
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After last weekend's sweep of the Penn-Princeton road trip, Yale head coach James Jones thought his team would come out with a little pep in its step Friday against Cornell. Instead, it was the Big Red that got off to a quick start. That and poor foul shouting doomed the Bulldogs in a 68-61 loss before 1,173 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
"I expected us to start the game with a greater charge and more energy," said Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball at Yale. "They had us on our heels, and it should have been the other way around."
Cornell (12-12, 4-3 Ivy) led 11-2 just 6 minutes, 30 seconds in. To its credit, Yale fought back, but it seemed the Bulldogs were always playing from behind. Yale's largest lead was three early in the second half, but it only lasted two minutes.
To make matters worse, the Bulldogs were just 12-of-26 (46.2 percent) from the free throw line. Yale entered the game second in the Ivy League in free throw percentage (.728).
Freshman Justin Sears paced the Bulldogs with 13 points. Sam Martin added 10 points, and Austin Morgan had nine.
Shonn Miller, the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Year, had 18 points, nine rebounds and three blocks to pace Cornell. Johnathan Gray also scored 18.
The poor free throw shooting really hurt Yale (9-15, 3-4 Ivy) down the stretch. The Bulldogs missed four straight free throws in the final 1:49.
The score was tied at 59 with 3:03 remaining, but Nolan Cressler's three-pointer gave the Big Red the lead for good. Gray hit another three-pointer on Cornell's next possession to increase the lead to six.
Brandon Sherrod answered with a dunk off a nice feed from Javier Duren, and Yale forced a quick turnover, but Morgan missed a three-pointer.
Galal Cancer made three free throws in the final 42 seconds to seal the victory for Cornell.
Martin kept the Bulldogs in the game in the first half. He was 3-of-4 from three-point range as all 10 of his points came in the opening 20 minutes as Yale rallied to trail by just three, 30-27, at the intermission.
"I was feeling good shooting the ball," said Martin, who has made eight of his last 11 three-point attempts.
After shooting just 33.3 percent from the field in the first half, the Bulldogs were 13-of-21 (61.9 percent) the rest of the way.
Yale will be right back in action on Saturday, hosting Columbia at 7 p.m. The Lions dropped a 58-55 decision at Brown on Friday.
"We just have to try and forget about [this game] and get ready to play Columbia," Martin said.
NOTES: The Bulldogs got another strong performance from their bench, which outscored Cornell's reserves 32-20… Duren finished with a career-high seven assists… Sears was 6-of-9 from the field… Yale outrebounded the Big Red 34-31. Armani Cotton led the way with six rebounds.

Arts Law Externship
Teri Silvers, Lecturer-in-Law (4 credits)
The Arts Law Externship provides students with practical experience in intellectual property, entertainment, and nonprofit law as they assist staff attorneys at volunteer lawyers for the Arts (VLA) in their representation of artists and nonprofit arts organizations. Through class discussions and journals, students reflect on the wide variety of clients and issues they encounter in their fieldwork, and engage in critical thinking about the role that law and lawyers can play in the arts and entertainment world. The Arts Law Externship consists of three components: a weekly seminar; a fieldwork placement at Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, at which students work for 10 hours per week; and two out-of-class simulated exercises, in client counseling and contract negotiation.
Bronx Defenders Externship on Holistic Defense
Robin Steinberg and J. McGregor Smyth, Lecturers-in-Law (2 academic and 2 clinical credits)
The Bronx Defenders Externship on Holistic Defense immerses students in the cutting edge of defense work on the frontier of civil rights in the South Bronx—the poorest congressional district in the country. A person of color living in the Bronx is more likely to be stopped and frisked by the police, arrested, evicted, enter a homeless shelter, be on welfare, or have their children removed than a resident of any other county in New York State. Learn interdisciplinary approaches to solving these problems at a defender office with the rare commitment to addressing root problems, to serving the client, not processing the case. Course content and fieldwork will train students as future holistic lawyers offering seamless access to services that meet clients' legal and social support needs; engaging in the dynamic and interdisciplinary exchange of information, ideas, and strategy; constantly developing and improving an interdisciplinary skill set; and seeking a robust understanding of, and connection to, the community served.
City and State Policy Advocacy Externship
Nisha Agarwal, Amy Carroll, and Paul Sonn, Lecturers-in-Law (2 academic and 2 clinical credits)
The City and State Policy Advocacy Externship will expose students to the varied and important roles that lawyers are playing in policy experimentation and innovation in states and cities across the country. Course content and fieldwork will focus on the role of a lawyer in supporting community-conceived policy initiatives at the city and state level—from analyzing constraints on local authority to drafting policy proposals to advising on the political fight to win passage. Fieldwork will be done at both the National Employment Law Project and the Center for Popular Democracy.

They will also engage in critical thought about topics related to criminal defense, including discovery and motion practice, investigations, developing a theory of the case, suppression hearings, disposition advocacy, and trial preparation.
Constitutional Rights Enforcement in Capital, Habeas, and Prison Cases Externship
George Kendall, Sam Spital, Corrine Irish, and Carine Williams, Lecturers-in-Law (Full-year course: 3 academic and 4 clinical credits)

The seminar will prepare students for their field work and explore topics related to domestic violence prosecution. Scott Kessler, who has a national reputation for leading one of the finest domestic violence prosecution bureaus in the country, will teach the seminar and oversee the field placements.

The Honorable Robert D. Sack, Lecturer-in-Law and Anne Green, Director of Academic Counseling and Judicial Programming, Lecturer-in-Law (pending faculty approval) (4 credits)
The Federal Appellate Court Externship introduces students to the judicial and adversary processes involved in federal courts of appeals. Students work in the chambers of a Second Circuit judge on legal research, analysis, and writing, occasionally drafting lengthy bench memos and parts of opinions. Students also participate in seminar classes, which include lectures addressing fundamental topics of appellate review and federal jurisdiction, discussions with judges and experienced appellate attorneys about appellate law and practice and reflection/debriefing sessions for students to share their experiences and problem-solve.

I�d like to scribble down a few lines as taught in our old-fashioned schools many years ago.
To the editor:
I�d like to scribble down a few lines as taught in our old-fashioned schools many years ago.
I would like to deeply thank our new North Carolina government for its efforts to correct the corruption, buddy system, nepotism, political payoffs and political correctness that have run our state for many, many years.
They must be doing something right as the News & Observer in Raleigh, The Daily Reflector in Greenville and other liberal newspapers in our state are gnashing teeth and slinging snot at these changes.
I wish the new government lots of luck in returning sanity to our schools as they try to bring back a school system that will teach reading, writing and math to our kids; while removing some of the socialist professors brainwashing our mush- minded youth in our colleges and now in our public schools.
Lately, I have tested many of our youths that work in fast food, convenience stores and other retail stores. As an example: if a bill was $3.61, I would give them $5.01. They had no idea how to make change unless the register told them. How sad.
Two years from now, we need to replace our U.S. senator who votes in lock-step with a president who vowed to change America as we have known it.
I had almost given up on North Carolina and would like to thank my fellow citizens for their vote last November. That vote has given me a ray of hope for the future of our state.
I thank the elected officials in North Carolina who are putting our children�s future ahead of getting re-elected. I would ask them to please don�t let the job corrupt them as it has so many others. If they have the courage to stand up to the ACLU and put the teaching and principles taught in the Bible back in our schools � even go to jail, if need, be for the safety and future of our kids � it would be wonderful.
The ACLU scared our county commissioners to death for praying for guidance before starting their meeting. I read that one county continued to pray after being threatened by the ACLU and all I can say is, �Hooray for having guts to stand up.�
There�s still hope for our country and children.

Not every ordinary pantry spice can claim its name comes from an ancient language. The word "ginger" derives from the Sanskrit "stringa-vera," which means "hornlike body." This antlerlike root adds a hot-sweet zing to foods including sushi and salad dressing, and a mere pinch will help yeast rise and meat tenderize.
Ginger is just as versatile outside the kitchen: For centuries, practitioners of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine have been harnessing its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to reduce anxiety, aid digestion, and alleviate ailments such as morning sickness, arthritis, and the common cold. Such is the power of the mystical horn.
Buying tip: Fresh ginger should be plump and crisp, not shrunken or fibrous. Store unpeeled ginger in the vegetable crisper of your fridge for up to two weeks. Freeze leftovers for up to six months: Break it into 1- to 2-inch pieces and defrost as needed. Dried ginger has a warmer, more pungent flavor than fresh; don't substitute one for the other.
Here, ginger adds flavor to an antioxidant-rich black rice dish. Black rice has more antioxidants than its brown and white siblings, and is also high in fiber.
Ginger's not just for savory dishes; it can also add spice to sweet fruit desserts.
Warm up with a cup of spicy, stomach-soothing chai tea, made with cardamom, peppercorns, and ginger.
We upped the health potential of this Southern delicacy by adding beta-carotene-rich sweet potatoes, iron-packed molasses, and ginger, which helps quell inflammation.
This recipe calls for tamari, a sauce made from soybeans that's darker and thicker than conventional soy sauce. Serve this flavorful dish with a wedge of orange for squeezing over the fish, along with a fresh green, such as watercress, for some bite.
Lentils are enlivened by coriander, ginger, mint, and cilantro. Sweet beets add lots of minerals.
Green tomatoes are simply unripe red tomatoes -- hence their lower sugar content and slightly sour taste. Charring makes them softer and easier to peel. To grill the shrimp, use 8-inch wooden skewers, which you'll find in some supermarkets and kitchen-supply stores.
This salad is elegant and pure -- and deceptively simple to prepare.

"I think it is important to be part of the community," said manager Dennis Boissel. "You have to give back, you can't take all the time."
Over the past few years the attendance of the event has reflected the changing demographic of the neighborhood. However, Boissel said that many of those that take part in the event are repeat customers.
"I've seen kids since they were seven and eight years old," he said. "Many are not yet old enough to bring their own kids, but some are older and do."
Even if some parents weren't brining their children for the free dinner, the bar was inundated with trick-or-treaters from the neighborhood.
"It's a fun and happy time," Boissel said. "When they start laughing and goofing it really does your heart good."
One group of five adults and a child came all the way from Kew Gardens to celebrate Halloween at the restaurant for the first time.
"Over by us they do Christmas for the kids, but nothing really for Halloween," said Suzanna Costasuzamma, who said she will be back next year. "It's better to come and socialize. I think it is important to have something like this in your community."
Sean Turk has been attending the event for years, and said that he is already looking forward to attending next Halloween.
"We're here so the kids can celebrate Halloween," said Turk,who brought his young son with him. "They do a great job here locally and taking care of the kids."

Growing up at 55 Lake Street in the 1960s, Tony Orsini saw his neighborhood like a family picnic. Everybody knew everybody in the Little Italy section of Norwich. Doors were unlocked. Televisions were shared.
At about 9:30 p.m. on March 6, 1963, the 19-year-old was getting ready for bed. A gifted athlete, he had just finished up a Norwich City League basketball game and was exhausted. His downstairs neighbors, Ronnie and Margaret "Honey" Moody, were unusually restless — spurred by the rush of water pulsing down Little Italy's main road.

The water came from the Spaulding Pond dam in Mohegan Park, which after two days of rain had started to leak, first a little, and then more, before giving way. Six people would be killed in the flood, including five workers at a mill in its path, and it would create severe damage all the way into downtown.
But there was no way for the Orsini or Moody families to know that then.
Instead, confused and concerned the situation could get worse, the Moody family — Ronnie, Margaret and their three young children — decided to head to Ronnie's mother's house across the city. Orsini opted to join them and urged his father, Pasquale, to do the same, but he refused to leave home.
"We made it right around the corner when the wall of water hit us from the playground and floated us along and eventually flipped the car over," Orsini said recently as he stood in front of his childhood home.
Orsini acknowledged that, after 50 years, his timeline of that horrific night can't be trusted. But the memories are still vivid.
After floating about 25 feet, Orsini and Ronnie Moody managed to open the car's doors, battling the frigid, knee-deep water around them.
"Honey" Moody helped get her children to high, dry ground with Ronnie. As he turned around to grab her hand, he lost his grip and watched her get swallowed by that unforgiving torrent. Officials found her body the next day, right next to the overturned car.
"It happened so fast that a lot of it was just instinct," Orsini said.
The Spaulding Pond dam in Mohegan Park was constructed from the earth itself. By 1963, the 8-foot high, 220-foot long embankment was more than 100 years old.
In 1853, harnessing the power of a water feed at the south end of what is now Mohegan Park promised to boost the prospects of downtown merchants by providing propulsion for their water wheels.
So established Norwich businessmen Pedediah Spaulding and Henry Allen went about the process of strengthening an earthen dam on the property that was built in 1833, with no eye toward engineering or design parameters.
In 1906, Norwich officials took control of the vast acreage of Mohegan Park — and the dam that held back the pond's 45 million gallons of water.
The dam had a history of "seepage from time to time," according to a March 18, 1963, report by Corporation Counsel Orrin Catarshick to the City Council on the dam break.
From March 5, 1963, into the morning hours of March 6, Norwich collected almost 2 inches of rain, itself causing localized flooding in low-lying areas of the city.
Spaulding Pond, covered by a thick layer of ice, was in fact leaking during the day on March 6. It finally gave way that night, and millions of gallons of water came cascading through Mohegan Park and continued onto Brook Street and Baltic Street. Riding on top of the 10-foot-high wall of water were blocks of ice, some the size of kitchen tables.
Just up the road from the Orsini house, 6-year-old Gina Lanteigne had a bird's eye view of horror.
Despite the pleas of a policeman to evacuate, the workers at the Turner-Stanton Mill rushed to the second floor for a glimpse of what looked like a waterfall out the window.
Eventually, the weight and force of much water and ice buckled the foundation of the 75-year-old mill, and it collapsed, killing four people working inside and another soon after.
"I remember seeing the mill go down. That was awful. It was a bad thing, and not something I ever want to see again," Lanteigne said recently. "I was a little kid thinking, 'What's next? Am I going to drown?' It's very emotional."
Lanteigne, who now lives in Griswold, has worked at the D'Elia's Bakery and Grinder Shop at 272 Franklin St. for nearly 40 years. She has collected several pieces of memorabilia from the flood — including a reproduction of the next day's Norwich Bulletin, which hangs on a counter in the sandwich shop.
"It was a very big tragedy. You want to keep it alive for the people who remember it," she said.
Downtown, William Longo woke to the sound of huge oil drums carried by the dark waters knocking into the back of his building. He lived on the second floor, and his business, Longo's Funeral Home, was on the first floor.
Quietly, he and his wife at the time crept to the rear porch to assess the scene.
"After a while, I heard a moan. We were listening and listening, but didn't hear anything any more. We couldn't get out of the house," said Longo, now 78 and living in Tennessee.
He probably would have stayed out there longer, but was alerted to Orsini and the young Moody children tucked into the crevasse of an undersized maple tree. Longo told a city official who was in front of his property that a group of children was in the tree.
The next day, the flood waters receded enough for Longo to travel downstairs and see the extent of the damage to his business.
"All the floors of my funeral home were caved in," he said.
And there, underneath all the rubble, was the body of 50-year-old Mae Caroline Robidou, one of the mill workers.
"She must have opened the back door of the funeral home and went right in with all the ice and water," Longo said. "I think that moan I heard was her."
Thomas Moody Jr., then only 4 and up in the tree with Orsini, remembered seeing Franklin Square illuminated in the night sky and thinking it was beautiful.
"And then my brother was screaming and it all came to me that, 'Oh my God, this is serious,' " Moody said. "And the next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital."
In November, Moody published "A Swift and Deadly Maelstrom: The Great Norwich Flood of 1963, A Survivors' Story." It's a retelling of the event through the use of personal anecdotes, archival data and research that took him eight years to complete.
It began as a memoir for his family, but mushroomed into an exhaustive account of that March evening. Moody, a nuclear power plant supervisor who lives in Stephenville, Texas, wanted his children to know about their paternal grandmother, and after his father died in 2009, his resolve to do it by writing a book solidified.
Of course, Orsini needed to be remembered, too.
"Tony Orsini's name in our house was like God. He was always very, very special," Moody said. "I don't remember everything that he did, but the fact he kept my brother under his coat and volunteered unequivocally to come with us that night as a 19-year-old says a lot for him."
Wally Lamb, too, remembers that night vividly, as a boy seeing those "refrigerator-sized" blocks of ice that coasted by his 33 McKinley Ave. home. His new novel, "We Are Water," fictionalizes the flood.
He still reflects on how inextricably tied so many people are from all reaches of the nation — the flood as a great uniter.
"All these years go by and all of the sudden we're all linked in this. It's pretty amazing," Lamb said. "It created a sense of how fragile life could be and probably a fear, because all these uncontrollable things could happen, and they could all be game-changers in a very sudden way."
Lamb was 12 when the flood struck. While doing research for his novel, he walked the flood's path from Mohegan Park to Franklin Square with Moody, his three brothers and Orsini. Near the end of the journey, the five survivors stopped at the nondescript tree in front the former Lamparelli Motors warehouse, struck by the role it played that night.
That stunted tree still stands, just across from the Evans Memorial AME Zion Church on Chestnut Street.
Orsini and Moody call it the "tree of life." Sitting in that crook between branches for nearly an hour, protecting a 4-year-old from the mayhem just below, Orsini's life changed in a night.
"I count my blessings every day," Orsini said. "I still don't know how we survived. I still think about the six people who died and how unlucky they were, and how lucky we were. I think of Mrs. Moody as a wonderful neighbor and friend. And that's how I want to be remembered — as trying to be a good neighbor."

I've always thought the "War on Christmas" meme that some populist conservatives (and a certain TV network that I'll just skip over for now) like to pound on during the holidays was silly and trivializing. Not for being wrong, mind you, but for being too narrowly focused. The aggressive secularization of the Left operates 24/7 all 365 days a year, and is not just rolled out like crèches during the holiday season alone. As such, we'd be better off if the "War on Christmas" crusaders showed up for battle the rest of the year, and came armed with a more serious grasp of the whole matter.
On the other hand, there is one aspect of the "War on Christmas" theme that is likely correct: the greatest Christmas TV special ever probably could not be made and brought to TV today. I speak, of course, of A Charlie Brown Christmas, still racking up huge ratings even though it first aired almost 50 years ago. But it almost didn't make the small screen in the form we know it, because some CBS executives objected to the climax of the show, where Linus explains the meaning of Christmas by quoting directly from the Gospel of Luke:
"'And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men.'"
"…That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
UPDATE: I hadn't thought to check YouTube, but of course this scene is available. So in case you've been living on Mars (or even if you haven't) here it is in it's full glory:
The sanitized histories of the show you find here and there today say that the hesitation was over the doubt that viewers would want to sit through a recitation from the King James version of the Bible. (By the way, next time you see it, take note of the fact that Linus lets go of his security blanket when he recites the passage.) But if you believe this, you probably believe in Dan Rather, too. Yeah–like there would have been no objection if Peanuts creator Charles Schulz proposed to use the Revised Standard Version instead. Schulz had to fight to keep the scene in, as one account explains:
Schulz wanted A Charlie Brown Christmas to have the religious meaning that was central to his own experience of Christmas. . . Even Schulz admitted that he was probably the only person who could have gotten A Charlie Brown Christmas made. Television executives hated it from the start.
So merry Christmas and happy Hanukah from Power Line. And as a special bonus, here's some worthy seasonal images that deserve to be shared.

Stage 3 Astrocytoma Treatment
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Our soon-to-be 29 year-old daughter has astrocytoma. One pathologist report said it was Stage 2; UCSF Med Center pathology report read it as having characteristics of Stage 3. Radiation/chemotherapy treatments were suggested. My question: Does the radiation have to be of the entire brain? Her tumor (what is left after 2 surgeries) is in a good location (part that affects left side movement). It is rather deep, though. Our doctors suggest entire brain. We are VERY concerned about radiation! We need some advice.
Robert Lustig MD FACR, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Without reviewing the records and examining your daughter, it is difficult to formulate a response. However, based on what you tell me, at our institution, the radiation would probably not be delivered to the whole brain. You mentioned receiving an opinion from UCSF. They have an excellent neuropathology department so we will assume they are correct and that it is a Grade 3 tumor. The best treatment is combined chemotherapy using Temodar and radiation. The radiation therapy should be directed to the tumor with a surrounding margin to treat any microscopic disease that may be outside the area seen on the MRI. While the radiation may have some long- term side effects, it is the best option for treating this tumor.

Dems split on Medicare concessions
A growing number of Democrats in the Senate are ready to offer up a key concession on Medicare to try to reach a deal on the fiscal cliff: higher premium payments for wealthy seniors.
But that might not get them very far.
Story Continued Below
Means testing won't reduce Medicare costs enough for Republicans who want a big deal on entitlements and the idea still outrages some liberal Democrats in the House and Senate who fear that it's a foot in the door to much deeper cuts to the senior-citizen health care program.
And even though Democrats are open to this one cost cutting move, they are saying no to increasing the eligibility age on Medicare; no to touching Social Security; and no to cutting into Medicaid programs that cover the poor and disabled. Many of these concerns were voiced directly by liberals to White House economic adviser Gene Sperling in a closed-door Senate Democratic lunch on Thursday.
Yet as an olive branch to Republicans, a number of Senate Democrats are ready to drop their long-standing opposition to Medicare means testing if it means the GOP will raise taxes on the top 2 percent of wage earners and if it's part of a large, deficit reduction plan.
But there is an overwhelming opposition in the Senate and House Democratic caucuses to going any further, showing just how little room President Barack Obama has to maneuver as he tries to reach a deal with House Speaker John Boehner on the fiscal cliff.
"I think people would get pretty excited," said Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) when asked how Hill Democrats would respond to an Obama-endorsed deal with entitlement cuts. "Labor fought hard for this president, they were doing everything they could to help organize, to get the early vote out. This is one of their big issues. The president is going to turn his back on labor? I don't think so."
Asked how Democrats would respond if Obama agreed to raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67, Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said bluntly, "Very badly."
Obama has been willing to dip into entitlements in the past, which makes some liberal Democrats nervous. He agreed tentatively to raising the Medicare age in last summer's ill-fated debt-ceiling talks with Boehner. And he proposed additional means testing in Medicare in his deficit reduction plan. The idea also made an appearance in last year's deficit-reduction list between Vice President Joe Biden and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
In previous talks, Obama has also floated the idea of changing the method of calculating inflation for government programs, a proposal that Democratic critics fear could slash too deeply into Social Security benefits. As part of this round of talks, Obama has offered up $600 billion in cuts to health-based entitlement programs and non-mandatory programs, a proposal that includes $350 billion from overhauling bulk purchases of prescription drugs as well as Medicare means testing.
But, he's demanding $1.4 trillion in new taxes, including by raising tax rates on families who earn more than $250,000 annually. Boehner has floated $800 billion in new taxes from closing unspecified loopholes and deductions as well as $1 trillion in cuts, including out of entitlement programs.
Medicare means testing is hardly a new idea, and in fact it's already happening — under Obamacare and the 2003 law that created the Medicare prescription drug benefit. The idea is to expand it — and Republicans are increasingly pushing for it as a way to counter Democratic attacks that they're only worried about protecting the rich.

As the birthplace of jazz, no trip to New Orleans is complete without an evening of live music. But it's not just about bebops and boogie-woogies. On any given night of the week, indie, R'n'B and folk rock sounds drift through the city's bars, clubs and streets – if you know where to listen. Local resident Mike Welch rounds up the NOLA music venues not to be missed.
This intimate Mid-City bar hosts two informal shows a night, almost every night, where you can catch some of the bigger names in local music – such as guitarist Anders Osborne or trombonist Big Sam – especially when Jazz Fest takes over the neighbourhood every spring. Even when the tourists are long gone, Chickie Wah Wah provides local music like the alt-country melodies of Happy Talk Band, or the double-saxophone swamp-pop revival of Creole String Beans.
Where? 2828 Canal Street
Nearest streetcar? The Canal streetcar is central and attached to all other streetcar lines.
This extra tiny bar perched on Lee Circle can feel packed if two dozen people show up to dance to the band – but that just adds to the intimate musical experience. Expect everything from famous touring garage rock bands like the Oblivions, to local blues man Guitar Lightnin' Lee and old school DJs spinning R'n'B vinyls.
Where? 1032 St Charles Avenue
Nearest streetcar? Circle Bar is named after Lee Circle, the main nexus where all the streetcars turn around.

Music is such a big part of the culture of the city that jazz music and dancing are a part of funeral traditions. The original belief was that jazz funerals would help the deceased find their way to heaven.Discover New Orleans
On the other side of the Mississippi River, the Old Point Bar is one of few live music options for locals living in beautiful Algiers. But with its captive neighbourhood audience for live music – which includes everything from solo barroom piano players to Latin and brass bands from happy hour onward, most nights of the week – the Old Point may provide all the drinking and dancing fun you'll need.
Where? 545 Patterson Drive
Nearest streetcar? You'll be taking the ferry across the river to Old Point Bar.
Arguably the most famous jazz club in the world, the French Quarter's Preservation Hall has championed the city's best-known musical invention since 1961. Just one small room with peeling paint and wooden benches (but no microphones or speakers) it nonetheless lives up to the hype. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band tours the world, while the club's house band plays three shows on weeknights, and four shows Thursday through Sunday. In recent years, the venue's hipness quotient has risen as they've collaborated with everyone from folk-rock group My Morning Jacket to Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters.
Where? 726 St Peter Street
Nearest streetcar? The Rampart Street streetcar runs along the northern border of the French Quarter, while the Canal streetcar runs along its western border.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band has a constantly changing roster of musicians playing instruments from the saxophone and trumpet to the cello and drums.Book NOLA flights
Royal Street
Most of the city's street musicians perform up and down the shopping and gallery districts of Royal Street in the French Quarter. There's no better way to while away an hour than to sit outside Rouses grocery store on Royal Street, listening to some ragtag, old-timey band bathed in southern sunlight, singing about the city.
Where? In and around Royal Street in the French Quarter.
Nearest streetcar? The Rampart Street streetcar runs along the northern border of the French Quarter, while the Canal streetcar runs along its western border.
Since 1927, this historic 4,000-seat theatre has delighted music lovers as much as the performances hosted there. Renovated once again since Katrina, with meticulous golden ceiling detail, and glorious columns framing a pipe organ on a gorgeous hardwood stage, the Saenger is back better than ever, hosting rock stars such as Beck, as well as The Book of Mormon, and comedians Amy Schumer and Dave Chappelle.
Where? 1111 Canal Street
Nearest streetcar? The Saenger sits at the crossing of the Rampart and Canal streetcars.
Tipitina was a hard partying woman, immortalised by beloved old New Orleans piano player, Professor Longhair – himself immortalised by this beloved New Orleans music club. This isn't a fancy place, but the drinks are fairly priced, and on stage you will witness everything from authentic Cajun music to early morning Jazz Fest jams, Mardi Gras Indian bands laying down the funk, and adventurous jazz.
Where? 501 Napoleon Avenue
Nearest streetcar? The St Charles streetcar crosses Napoleon but is 11 blocks away. An authentic United Cab ride in New Orleans is usually just as fun and memorable as the streetcar.

When they make the movie of his life, John McCarthy should be played by Christopher Lloyd. There seems to be no computer science challenge too big for this legendary founder of artificial intelligence to take on with the exuberance of Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future, and you have to admit that McCarthy looks the part of a mad scientist.
Recently, he's been talking up Elephant, a proposed very high-level language for transaction processing and electronic data exchangemore or less what XML is supposed to be for, but Elephant is more ambitious as a language. It is, McCarthy says, "on the border of AI." Jimmy Guterman caught his talk at Etech and reported on it at O'Reilly Radar.
McCarthy takes on transactions in terms of "performatives," a term that I remember well from my grad school days. I came to computer science from psychology with some linguistics and philosophy of science helping to bridge the gap, and one of the books that I came upon back then that seemed to live in all four of these domains was J.L. Austin's How to Do Things with Words. Austin pointed out something curious in that book, based on his William James Lectures at Harvard: Many utterance that look like statements are not intended to convey information at all, or at least that is not their primary purpose. These utterances, which he named performatives, are actions in the form of speech. When you promise something, you are not (merely) conveying information to someone, you are performing an act. Placing a bet, making an offer, taking a vow, hiring an applicant, giving an order, accepting an assignment, acquitting a defendant, declaring war, are all performatives. And as Austin points out, commands are closely related to performatives. They're odd things, performatives: Austin finds that the logical relationships of entailment, implication, and presupposition all work a little differently for performatives than for factual statements. What makes performatives particularly interesting for transaction processing and electronic data exchange is that those examples of performatives that I just listed look like just the things we want to do in online transactions.
Guterman seems puzzled by McCarthy's assertion that "ascribing beliefs to thermostats is like adding 0 and 1 to the number system," but McCarthy dealt with this precise example in his 1979 paper "Ascribing Mental Qualities to Machines," which can be found on his website (www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc) in html, dvi, pdf, and postscript versions. He even provides a machine-centric "glossary of mental qualities." I'm not saying that your head will be clearer on the matter after you read that paperMcCarthy freely tosses around Kantian jargon like "syncategorematic" and wrestles with questions like whether the proper objects of machine belief are sentences or propositionsbut in that paper the thermostat is his number one example for considering whether and when it can be legitimate to ascribe mental properties to machines.
McCarthy's view is that it is unnecessary but legitimate to ascribe beliefs like "The room is too hot" or "The temperature is 24 degrees" and a goal like "The room should be OK" or "The temperature should be 20 degrees" to a thermostat. And while it does little good to think of a single thermostat in this way, McCarthy suggests that it is helpful in thinking about the class of possible thermostats.
But do we think of thermostats as having intentions? Sure we do: It's the reasonif I'm interpreting McCarthy correctlythat we consider a thermostat with its wires to the furnace cut to be a broken temperature control system rather than just a certain collection of parts. McCarthy even cites a common example of a simple machine to which it makes sense to ascribe introspective beliefs; i.e., beliefs about the machine's own internal states. Consider an alarm clock, getting power back after an outage: It's legitimate to say that it realizes that it doesn't know the time and is flashing to signal this.
Not that any of that has anything to do with transactions. But McCarthy has been thinking about very high-level languages for transactions over networks for a long time. In 1975, inspired by an article by networking pioneer Paul Baran that "envisaged a world of the future in which companies would be well equipped with on-line computer systems," McCarthy wrote "The Common Business Communication Language." In this article, the updated version of which is also available on his website, he proposed a language for business transactions much like XML. Here's a transaction in CBCL:
and here it is in XML:
In that paper, McCarthy acknowledges that even handling something as simple as a purchase order involves some thorny semantic issues. In Elephant, he presumably thinks he's solved some of them.

The Annual Humpback Whale Migration
Humpback whales hunt & feed during the summer months in the colder waters like Antarctica & then migrate to warmer tropical waters during the winter months
1 / 3
Humpback whales hunt and feed during the summer months in the colder waters like Antarctica and then migrate to warmer tropical waters during the winter months for mating. It is around this time of the year that we are able to start to see the annual migration take place with humpback whales passing by the Kaikoura Coastline between May / June / July and August – heading up towards Australia and Tonga for the mating season.
The humpback whale is one of the most easily recognised whale species. Known for their large flippers (which can be up to one-third of their body size), and the hump on their backs. Their colouring is anywhere from a grey to black colour and have white markings on their underbelly. These markings are differing in every whale, being like fingerprints, allowing researchers to identify individuals.
The humpback whales diet is made up of fish and krill. They are baleen whales, meaning they are filter feeders. These whales have two parallel rows of baleen plates attached to their jaws, allowing them to filter water for the fish and krill.
During the mating season humpback whales will fast, living off body fat reserves and completely forgo eating.
Humpback whales breathe voluntarily, unlike human beings. Since they have to remember to breathe, researchers believe humpback whales sleep by shutting off half of their brain at a time.
These whales are known for their complex mating songs. Researchers have studied the whale songs for years, and the complexity of these songs suggests the whales are extremely intelligent creatures. Only the males are responsible for the whale songs, however, since they are primarily a mating signal. These sounds can be heard many miles away and are heard as a combination of moans, howls and cries among other noises which can go on for hours.
Not only famous for the haunting love songs these whales are also well known for their acrobatics. They can be frequently seen leaping out of the water and sometimes can use their flukes to propel themselves completely out of the ocean – known as a breach.

Family: Cupressaceae
Extraction: Distilled from ripe berries. Resinoid, absolute. Its pungent, herbaceous, peppery odor is pinelike and camphorous. The berries offer the highest quality oil, but needles, branches and berries that have already been distilled to flavor gin are sometimes used.
Medicinal Action: Juniper is used in the treatment of arteriosclerosis, rheumatic pain, general debility, and congestion-related problems such as varicose veins, hemorrhoids, fluid retention and cellulite. It is a genital and urinary tract antiseptic, a circulatory stimulant, and it increases stomach acid.
Cosmetic/Skin Use: Juniper is suitable for acne, eczema, and greasy hair or dandruff.
Emotional Attribute: Juniper is good for those with mental fatigue, insomnia and anxiety and for those who are emotionally drained. It provides a feeling of protection when the demands of others pull too strongly.
Considerations: Juniper can be harsh on the kidneys, so choose a more gentle oil if they are inflamed.
Associated Oils:
Cedarwood, Virginia (J. virginiana) --This juniper is the real source of most "cedar oil"-and most wooden pencils! It scented the "Lebanon cedarwood" that perfumed many a Victorian handkerchief. A Texas cedarwood (J. mexicana) oil is also produced, while the low-priced East African J. procera scents soap and sometimes cologne. J. sabina is the most toxic of the junipers and should be avoided.
Oil of Cade (Juniper Tar) --Made by "destructive" distillation of the roots that involves burning the wood, the resulting thick, smoky tar was once used for infected wounds, eczema and skin parasites. Today, it provides foods with a smoked flavor.

I am new to the sport and has been using 1 board (133 x 43) for local conditions. However, as the wind picks up to 14 / 15 knots, a lot of effort is needed to edge it upwind. Thus I am planning to get a second, smaller board.
The question is which size should I get to cover as much of the wind range as possible? My concern is the width to take into consideration stronger conditions (like 20 knots). down to 129 x 40 or even smaller?
local conditions: waves, with slight chops, usual @ 12 to 14 knots. Weight: 95 kg.
Any advice is welcome and appreciated.
Thank you in advance...

Today, somewhere on the order of 200 fawning Minnesotans greeted 20-year-old uberguard Ricky Rubio at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
One such example of the Land O'Lakes fervor: ESPN1500's Tom Pelissero tweets, "Only thing I heard Rubio say came when a guy asked him to sign his hand. "Your hand?" He obliged."
The Wolves have apparently decided to start a Spanish-language ad campaign around Rubio, which would be nice if he hadn't averaged six, three and three in Spain this year. It's not like Juan Carlos Navarro averaged 14 points, 3 assists, and 2 boards—oh, fuck. Juan Carlos Navarro did do that, on the same team. You may be good, Rubio, but you are no Juan Carlos Navarro. Or Fran Vasquez, who averaged 8 points.
But, again, there are a lot of Minnesotans here. Damn, Minnesota, are you really that bummed about Christian Ponder? You didn't wait for him like this.

Oh, this is Rubio leaving the airport in a party limo with David Kahn. Do with that what you will.

TALLAHASSEE � Duke hoped to be like Larry Holmes against Florida State on Saturday. Instead, the Blue Devils became Gerry Cooney.
TALLAHASSEE � Duke hoped to be like Larry Holmes against Florida State on Saturday. Instead, the Blue Devils became Gerry Cooney.
The No. 11 Seminoles jumped out to an early lead and continued the onslaught in beating the Blue Devils 48-7 at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Duke was the hot story in the Atlantic Coast Conference, entering the game fresh off achieving bowl-eligibility for the first time since 1994, but it met the same fate as Cooney did 30 years ago in the highly anticipated heavyweight championship fight.
EJ Manuel completed just eight passes, but they went for 282 yards and two touchdowns, one to open the scoring and another in the third quarter. Three FSU wide receivers had 70 or more yards led by Rodney Smith�s 112, as FSU took advantage of Duke�s weakness in man-to-man coverage when putting eight men in the box to stop the run.
The attempt to stuff the rushing attack also was futile as Devonta Freeman recorded his third career 100-yard effort and FSU gained 261 in its first full game without Chris Thompson.
�I was proud with the way we came out of the gate, we established a tempo in the game,� FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. �The thing we were able to do was hit the deep balls. That changes field position with those big plays and it was awesome.�
The Seminoles (8-1, 5-1) now control their destiny thanks to North Carolina�s 43-35 win over North Carolina State on Saturday. FSU, which improved to 18-0 against Duke, will win the Atlantic Division with victories over Virginia Tech (Nov. 8) and Maryland (Nov. 17).
�I don�t dwell on things,� Fisher said when asked about FSU�s only loss this season against N.C. State. �What we need to do is beat Virginia Tech and take it one game at a time.�
FSU needed 57 seconds on its first drive with Rashad Greene grabbing a 71-yard touchdown pass from Manuel less than three minutes into the game.
Duke (6-3, 3-2) had its chance to respond when Manuel fumbled on FSU�s next possession, one of four lost fumbles by the Seminoles. The Blue Devils gained only 3 yards and had a delay-of-game penalty to finish with a three-and-out.
Tyler Hunter countered with a 75-yard punt return, only the third return of his career, to give the Seminoles a 14-0 lead. The advantage grew to 31-7 at the half, Duke marching 90 yards and Jela Duncan�s 3-yard run capping the drive late in the second quarter.
FSU retook command to start the third quarter. Duke�s onside kick attempt failed to start the second half and the Blue Devils were flagged for fair-catch interference. FSU was set up at the Duke 29-yard line and scored two plays and 26 seconds later on 14 of Freeman�s game-high 104 yards rushing.
That gave FSU a 38-7 lead.
�I would like to think what we saw was somewhat of an aberration when you have all three phases break down consistently and that�s what we did,� Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. �Those of you who haven�t seen us, that�s not who we are.
�The brunt of responsibility bears right here. We just didn�t respond at all.�
FSU�s defense held Duke�s heavy pass attack in check. Sean Renfree had only 92 yards on 13-of-21 passing and was knocked out of the game with a head injury inflicted by Tank Carradine in the second quarter. It was the first time he was held to fewer than 200 yards this season.
Duke was limited to 232 total yards while FSU churned out 560 before starters were pulled in the fourth quarter. The performance was marred only by the fumbles, a muffed punt and 63 yards in penalties.
FSU�s defense kept Duke from doing much damage from the fumbles. The Seminoles are back in position to continue a run at a championship and Fisher said FSU will look to improve and be better coming out of the bye week.
�We come out and do ball security every day at the beginning of practice,� Fisher said. �We�re going to fix that, I can�t tolerate that.�
As for Duke, the Blue Devils still are in the hunt for a Coastal Division title and a spot opposite the Atlantic Division survivor in the ACC Championship Game, but it will need to win games and receive help to do so.
�It was not a product of we are bowl eligible and we are going to shut down,� Cutcliffe said. �We�ve got too much lying ahead of us.�
