Barack Obama’s understanding of how our economy works could fit on the inside flap of a cheap bar room match book cover. Yes, I am painfully aware that this statement may be way too generous in my estimation of the President’s qualifications here. What worries me more is the fact that he does not seem at all interested in associating himself with economic advisers that have any more of an understanding than he does. What he is good at unfortunately, is fixing blame, deflection, fabrication, straw man arguments, ad hominem attacks, non sequiturs, and just generally the worst elements of being a politician as exists in the world today.
Today’s scapegoat dujour is the vile creature known as the speculator. Never mind my gentle snow flakes that Barack Obama actually campaigned on a platform of causing gas prices to increase to levels generally associated with Europe, around $7 to $8 per gallon. It seems as though many Americans were not familiar with that particular campaign pledge, as it was completely ignored by the main stream media. Never | mind that without gas prices hitting that level, the moronic green economy agenda will remain a joke to most Americans with at least two functioning grey matter cells in their heads.

TORONTO - Marian Hossa will be in Chicago's lineup for Game 6 against Nashville.
The Blackhawks forward learned Sunday that he would not be suspended for his hit on Predators defenceman Dan Hamhuis late in Game 5. Hossa received a five-minute penalty after pushing Hamhuis into the end boards on Saturday afternoon with a hit that was similar to the one that earned Alex Ovechkin a two-game suspension last month.
However, league disciplinarian Colin Campbell decided against punishing Hossa.
"This play is distinguishable from recent incidents by a number of factors," Campbell said in a statement.
He noted that Hamhuis wasn't seriously injured like Blackhawks defenceman Brian Campbell, who hasn't returned to the | lineup since being hit by Ovechkin. The league's disciplinarian also said Hossa isn't a repeat offender and was correctly punished with a major penalty on the play.
After serving the penalty in Game 5, Hossa returned to score the overtime winner to give Chicago a 3 | [

I have no doubt retailers of all shapes and forms have jacked up prices and held back stock. Not only guns but most certainly ammo.
I have a fair stock of ammo, not huge, and I reload to so it didn't hurt me at all but a few of my friends were so desperate I sold them some ammo at just a bit above what it cost me. Not 100 percent markup but I did make maybe 20 percent more | than I paid.
Didn't sell most of my stock but just a bit so they could have some. Mainly some Federal 'value pack'.223 and Tula.40 S&W as well as a box of 333 rnds of Winchester.22 lr. ammo.
But this should be a lesson of you of you here. Once this craziness is over get a few hundred rounds or so for each of the cartridges you shoot. If you reload, get maybe 5000 primers for each type you reload and a 8 lb can of powder (one can for pistol and the other 8 lb can for rifle.) | [

Teaching with SmartPhones
Most will express frustration at their problematic nature: they’re a distraction; they make noise; they can be used for cyber-bullying or cheating. That said, I think that more and more educators are recognizing that cellphones, and especially smartphones,can be a useful learning tool. But how do teachers make that happen?
As an early adopter of smartphone technology, I immediately recognized the incredible computing power they possess. Many students now have pocket technology that’s much more powerful and innovative than the | equipment used in early manned space flights.
Still, like my colleagues, I imagined cellphones as a huge classroom management struggle.
So I set out to test a theory, with this basic premise: If teachers actually direct how students will use their cellphones in class as learning tools, we can minimize their role as a distractive presence.

New London - During the coldest months of the year, no one is turned away from the homeless shelter at St. James Episcopal Church, even those who are banned during warmer weather.
Some, whose behavior is disruptive to others, are allowed to stay in what is referred to as the "no freeze" room, a roughly 15-by-15-foot storage area. They are given a mat, a pillow and a blanket.
"It's like a warming center, a room to get out of the cold," said Cathy Zall, executive director of the New London Homeless Hospitality Center, which runs the overnight shelter as well as a day shelter on Jay Street. "In the winter we have a commitment to leave no one outside. Whatever the demand is, we meet that demand.''
But some | homeless people refer to it as the "freeze room'' and say those who complain are relegated to sleep there on the floor, kept apart from the 60 or so others who sleep on cots.
"If you complain, they tell you to leave,'' said William Thomas, who joined three other homeless men Thursday morning at Union Station to talk about how they have been treated by the shelter staff. All four said they are not allowed in the main shelter.
The men said it's called the "freeze room" because there is no heat. Zall disputed this, saying that the room is heated.

With past demonstrations, IBM has shown that they can create machines that can beat humans at chess, and most recently, trivia. Which is fun to watch, but doesn't serve too much of a purpose for people that aren't interested in recreational chess or trivia. Of course, creating a machine that excels at chess or trivia isn't IBM's end game. Their goal is to create a machine that can mine through data to provide useful answers to most any sort of problem. So these applications in the media are simply a means to an end.
As long as they're tooling around with different applications, let's find one for people who love money, which is just about everyone.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- In their first appearance before a major audience of professional astronomers, NASA scientists vigorously defended their theory that a meteorite from Mars shows evidence of ancient life on the red planet.
Though they got respectful applause from researchers at a meeting of the planetary division of the American Astronomical Society, the team from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also got blunt skepticism and an outline of what they must prove to satisfy critics.
"This is not bad for a new theory. It is much better than cold fusion," said Timothy Swindle of the University of Arizona, referring to a widely advertised atomic energy theory that was denounced within days. "Nobody has found such obvious flaws in this work."
But he said that few astronomers are ready yet to accept the Mars life theory.
David McKay and Everett Gibson of the Johnson Space Center, leaders of NASA's Martian meteor | ite team, said they have received calls, letters and electronic mail criticizing their theory, but are unshaken.
"We haven't seen anything to cause us to change our initial interpretation," McKay said.

I came across a really interesting flow chart on a blog about digital media called Hit Singularity. The chart was dubbed a “Social Media Strategy Framework For Bands”. I noticed something right away in this very well thought out chart showing the web flow of professional content, ugc and commerce related to a band or individual artist. The artist web site is tied to all of the other social media sites, and is at the center of the content consumption and engagement. I blogged in a previous post about how it’s critical for entertainment brands to leverage digital media platforms away from their own site to find new fans and engage existing fans. The ultimate goal of using such interactions is to drive the audience back to the branded web sites. This chart from the Hit Singularity demonstrates how some artist friendly social media sites can extend a band’s reach, help inform and engage audiences. You see the artist owned site is at the center of all interactions here. It’s interesting that I just came across this chart in May.

So longtime left tackle Jeff Backus has retired.
Ryan Raburn definitely earned his release last summer from the Tigers, but if history holds, Raburn, now with the Cleveland Indians, will comeback to haunt the Tigers.

But as far as the film goes, we enjoyed it. Maybe it was made from his point of view, and is therefore one-sided, but it also seems clear that the partnership between the brothers was unequal, with Reinhold always pushing the limit.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. -- An advertising scam happening in the local community has been brought to the attention of the Junction City Chamber of Commerce. Companies by the name of Hometown Productions, Premier Maps and Universal Adcom have been contacting businesses to sell advertising for magnets, maps or sports guides claiming they are working through the local chamber of commerce.
Their pitch is that if you advertise on the maps, your business will be exclusive and the maps go to any new homeowners in the area, through realtors, chambers, City and County offices, etc. The only people who see the maps are the few who advertise on there, and the few who agree to distribute the maps.
The only maps and area guides the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce endorse and distribute are the Geary County/Junction City, Kansas area guide and Junction City, KS City street map published by the | Convention and Visitor's Bureau.

Arbitration is a process where the parties present their arguments and supporting evidence before an impartial third party (or panel) who decides how the matter should be resolved.

Member Arbitration is designed for disputes between and among NFA Members and Associates. As stated above, disputes between an NFA Member or Associate and a customer are handled through the Customer Arbitration program.

WASHINGTON--Aetna Inc. Chief Executive Mark Bertolini, who is among a dozen chief executives meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama later this week, on Monday warned that companies are preparing backup plans that include layoffs if the White House and congressional leaders are unable to reach a deal to avoid the combination of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff."
"The American people are going to suffer because we'll lay them off--because we know how to respond to these kinds of situations," Mr. Bertolini warned at a Wall Street Journal CEO Council event.
The comments come seven weeks before the Jan. 1 date on which spending cuts and tax increases take effect. Mr. Obama and U.S. House Speaker John Boehner (R, Ohio) last week each defended their competing plans for resolving the budget fight, even as they opened the door to a potential compromise. Mr. Obama meets with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders next Friday--after he has received input from executives and labor leaders.
The Congressional Budget Office has warned of a recession if leaders fail to act. Mr. Bertolini--who said in an interview | that he is presenting contingency plans to his own board in two weeks--used Aetna as an example of how real-world layoffs could be set in motion.
"We have contingencies built in and as we watch the economy develop, we make decisions along the way: Do we release capital expenditures? Do we open up hiring?" he said. "Our goal so far is to freeze headcount until we know where the economy is headed."
But a contraction in the economy could set in motion a damaging chain of events. Mr. Bertolini said that a 1.7% contraction | [

What's the Latest Development?
By examining strands of RNA, cousins of DNA, biologists at Pennsylvania State University are discovering an entirely new and beneficial side to plant viruses. Most people rightly understand viruses as nasty vehicles for ill health that cause recognizable symptoms of disease. But another class of virus exists. Called persistent viruses, these foreign bodies are passed on from one generation to the next and can confer beneficial adaptations on their host organism. A recent study found that viruses help one species of plant to be drought resistant, and further experiments with a related virus showed that was true of 15 other plant species, too.
What's the Big Idea?
Virus research is helping to cause a broad shift in the biological sciences as researchers come to see more and more organisms as symbiotic, i.e. reliant on other organisms for survival, rather than purely independent. "In the human case the symbionts are gut bacteria that help to process | food, and also to regulate physiology." The research may also have profound implications for genetic engineers trying to manufacture drought and disease-resistant crops.

In commenting on Jesus’s statement that many are called but few are chosen, Calvin distingu | ishes between the general call that God issues to all people, and the special call which cannot be resisted, which is issued only to the elect. Because this special call cannot be resisted, if it were issued to all then all would be saved. This shows that the Calvinist understanding of salvation and the gospel allows – in theory – for universal salvation. However, God does not entirely will all to be saved, and so the special, irresistible call is only issued to some.
In Institutes 3.24.8 Calvin states:

Meet my good friend, Sherry Gottlieb. After being friends with Sherry for more than a decade, I finally turned to her for advice on my latest book (in frantic progress), THE BLOODIEST QUEEN.
What an idiot I was to wait.
Sherry, you see, is a Novel Doctor -- that is, an editor who is skilled at helping aspiring novelists bring their work up to publishable quality. (She was also owner of one of the world's most famous science fiction bookstores, A CHANGE OF HOBBIT.) I'd always suspected she was pretty good at what she did -- after all, her own novel, WORSE THAN DEATH, was published by St. Martin's Forge, her other novel LOVE BITE was made into a movie, and her non-fiction book, HELL NO, WE WON'T GO! about Vietnam War draft resisters was nominated for the PEN West USA Literary Award.
But Sherry | and I have always been busy, off doing our own things, and somehow I never nailed her foot to the floor to make her read my work. She was always swamped with editorial work and her other businesses (she also runs a resume-writing service), and we never connected.
I'm so glad we finally did. THE BLOODIEST QUEEN will be my thirty-third published book; I've grown lazy and jaded | [

Raise your hand if you’ve ever ground up the antlers of a deer and ingested the velvet for its performance-enhancing effect. Good, looks like we’re not alone here. Apparently ingesting deer antler spray is the latest rage among baseball players. So much so that MLB actually has issued a warning against players, according to Tom Verducci at SI.com.
Verducci writes that “chemists have figured out that the velvet | from immature deer antlers includes insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-1, which mediates the level of human growth hormone in the body, and is also banned by MLB and the World Anti-Doping Agency, among others, for its muscle-building and fat-cutting effects.”
The best part about antler spray, if you’re so inclined, is that it cannot be detected by urine tests. So if you thought that baseball players weren’t juicing just because MLB is now testing, you were wrong. Players | [

Many write requesting more information on how they can pray for and minister to persecuted Christians.

It's difficult to put into words how [The Voice of the Martyrs newsletter] has impacted me. First of all, it has given me profound gratitude for my freedom as a believer.

Snake oil salesmen were icons of American history. They crisscrossed the country, selling cures for whatever ailed you. Ingredients were secret and usually the medicines did more harm than good.
Gov. Mitt Romney is a modern-day equivalent. For the past eight years, he has crisscrossed the nation selling his cure for everything that ails America. He gives no details of how his secret "cures" work just what the glorious results will be, such as increased take-home pay for all and 12 million new jobs (which leading economists forecast will occur regardless who becomes president).
Romney changes his pitch to whatever appeals to the current audience. He was for universal health care not now; for the "cap and trade" market-based approach to control pollution, | and tougher automobile emissions standards unlike now.

How To Calculate and Make Estimated Tax Payments
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: March 5, 2012, 7:54 am
As a new business owner, understanding your tax obligations is critical and one of the first requirements you’ll need to understand are estimated tax payments.
What are estimated taxes? Who must pay them and how? Below are some facts from the IRS Estimated Tax Guide to help new small business owners understand their estimated tax obligations.
What Are Estimated Taxes?
The IRS and your state’s treasury department require that individuals and businesses pay taxes almost as quickly as they earn income. If taxes aren’t withheld from wages or | other payments, then you will likely need to pay estimated tax payments each quarter.
Think of estimated taxes as a “pay-as-you-go” tax. Four times a year (quarterly), you are required to send Uncle Sam enough of your revenues to cover your income tax and your self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare) obligations.
If you don’t pay enough tax throughout the year, either through withholding or by making estimated tax payments, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment of | [

Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Vivienne Westwood Red Label - London Fall 2009
(LONDON) This season, class was in session for Dame Viv. Vivienne Westwood Red Label was an homage to the rebellious school girl who has a strong sense of personal style. Marching to the beats of a techno-fied version of The Nutcracker, the likes of Daisy Lowe, Alice Dellal and Jo Wood (ex- wife of Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood and founder of Jo Wood Organics) stomped down the runway in figure-hugging dresses in autumnal hues, slim-cut trouser suits, knee-highs, woollen leggings paired with lots of layering, and prep-school blazers. Prints included lots of stripes and plaids. We loved the occasional buccaneer hat, the hooded poncho jacket and the thigh-high Pretty Woman boots (worn by a model with matching Julia Roberts reddish curls). Front-rowers included Kanye West, British comedian David Wall | iams, and Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts (who was supposed to be fronting the Westwood campaign that now features Pamela Anderson). Roberts told us what she used to do as a rebellious schoolgirl. "My friends and I used to set off the fire alarm at school so we could get out of math class," she laughed. | [

Have you ever been guilty of looking at people your own age and thinking, “Surely I don’t look that old?”

Could this be the same guy I’d had a secret crush on all those years ago?

MUNICH (Bloomberg) — Looks like a fish oil pill a day won’t keep the doctor away.
Scientists who reviewed data from about 68,000 patients gathered in 20 trials over the past 24 years found that men and women taking fish oil supplements didn’t lower their risk for a bevy of ills including heart attacks, strokes and death.
Diverging recommendations about the benefits of fish-oil supplements, which contain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, can “cause confusion in everyday clinical practice about whether to use these | agents for cardiovascular protection,” Moses Elisaf and his colleagues from the University of Ioannina in Greece wrote in the study.
The scientists concluded that the use of fish-oil pills is unnecessary to ward off heart disease, a finding that contradicts other studies that said the supplements were beneficial.
The paper, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Sept. 12, belongs to a form of research known as a meta-analysis, which evaluates data from previous investigations without doing new clinical work.
The patients involved were largely of European descent and took an average of 1.5 grams (0.05 ounces) | [
