Commission narrows Mirkarimi charges to one but recommends removal
The Ethics Commission today unanimously rejected most of Mayor Ed Lee's official misconduct charges against suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi – including abuse of power, impeding a police investigation, and dissuading witnesses – but voted 4-1 to recommend the Board of Supervisors find him guilty of official misconduct for grabbing his wife's arm on Dec. 31 and pleading guilty to the resulting misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment.
The sole dissenting vote, Chair Benedict Hur, said he had "grave concerns" that such as a broad interpretation of what behaviors constitute official misconduct would give mayors a "strong tool" to inappropriately remove their political adversaries (or at least invite charges that they were), as Mirkarimi supporters allege is happening now.
But the rest of the commission adopted a broad interpretation of what city officials and voters intended in 1995 when they overhauled the City Charter and added a new official misconduct clause banning "conduct that falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers."
"I have a lot of concerns about where you draw the line if you don't relate it to official duties," Hur said, appealing to his colleagues that, "I think this charter provision was meant to be narrow."
Commissioner Paul Renne – who in earlier hearings had taken a strong role in excluding prejudicial evidence against Mirkarimi and was thought to be a possible vote in his favor – today led the charge in interpreting misconduct in the broadest possible way, arguing it didn't even have to be related to his official duties, while the three other votes against Mirkarimi made the case that his conduct and conviction were related to a sheriff's role overseeing the jail and its domestic violence programs.
"I think the voters would be shocked if we were to say a public official who pleaded guilty to domestic violence has not committed an act of official misconduct," Renne said.
But Mirkarimi's attorneys and supporters – who outnumbered those urging his removal (mostly domestic violence advocates) by more than 4-to-1 during the three hours of public testimony taken today – say the shocking thing is for a just-elected official to be unilaterally removed from office by a political adversary for reasons that today's proceedings showed were tenuous.
"No case has ever been upheld in court to remove an elected official for a low-level misdemeanor," said Paula Canny, the attorney for Mirkarimi's wife, Eliana Lopez, who sat next to and supported his husband throughout today's nine-hour proceedings.
Indeed, the city is wading into uncharted waters and the commission had few court precedents to draw from in making its findings. It's also possible that the charter provision is unconstitutionally vague, as Mirkarimi's attorneys have alleged, both here and in court, with an earlier judge opting to wait until after the city's process plays out before ruling on the question.
But first, it will be up to the Board of Supervisors, where nine votes on the 11-member body are required to remove Mirkarimi. Today's hearing got complicated at the end – as commissioners wrestled with what it means to essentially throw out the mayor's charges and adopt their own more narrow accusation, and how to present everything to the board – that it decided to hold one more meeting in early September to adopt a summary and send everything to the board, which will then have 30 days to act.
"I leave this process concerned that the will of the voters is being undermined," Mirkarimi told reporters after the hearing. Holding his hand, Lopez said, "I'm shocked to see what happened today, but we are fighters."
For complete coverage and analysis of what happened today, what it means, and what's next, read next week's Bay Guardian.
the misconduct was related to the duties of the office. Even I, as someone who think Ross should have resigned months ago and who has supported Lee's actions, only think Ross should go because this bears directly on his ability to perform his duties. It seems obvious to me that we can't have a sheriff who has just admitted false imprisonment and who clearly committed DV.
However, if Ross had been in charge of Muni, Parks, Libraries, DPT or a host of other non-LE departments, I would have given him the benefit of the doubt. (Not that those posts are elected, but just on general principles.)
So, all in all, a fair and balanced decision where everyone gets something out of it.
He plea bargained his way out because he couldn't get a fair judge or jury in this town or any other since DA Gascon smeared it all over the press before the trial ever got started.
I suppose you support that, too, especially if you support Mayor Lee's actions.
Why don't you suggest that Mayor Lee take up the Fire Chief situation. That is still in effect as she cracked a beer stein over her hubby's head not to mention the children eyewitnessing that and being scared. Now she failed to pay child support and was ordered by a court to do so. Doesn't that fall BELOW THE LEVEL OF DECENCY OF A PUBLIC OFFICIAL!!!!
Before you judge Sheriff Mirkarimi on having a heated argument with his wife and grabbing her arm which she then pulled away, you need to get your comparison's straight.
Uh, a sheriff who has reconciliated this incident and now in rehabiliation over a fire chief also sworn to protect the public and property who is now a known violent drunk.
You decide and let us know. But for now, go crawl back under the bridge.
ITA MistOfTheCity!!! (Funny, I typo-ed "most" of the city and fixed it!)
Spousal abuse is not the province of the Fire Chief. That is why the standard is different. If the Fire Chief was seen playing with matches...maybe action could be taken. But for a prospective Sheriff to admit guilt to spousal abuse....this is CLEARLY in his province. You, like many, are blinded by your loyalty to a friend. Well, your friend made a big boo boo on his wifes arm. And a Sheriff should know better.
As a former DV survivor for 7 years, I must say that it is NOT clear that Ross committed DV. Grabbing someone's arm in the middle of a heated discussion over whether or not to take your child to a country with much upheaval is a human reaction, not domestic violence!
doubtlessly politically-inspired defense of his is futile. Ross stated on video that : "I committed an act of violence against my wife".
Try again.
I note that there are people who are only capable of seeing in black and white. If your spouse wants you to answer a question and you deliberately don't give him or her an answer because you are arguing, is that mental cruelty?
People who are politically opposed to Mirkarimi easily substitute "beating his wife" for "bruising her arm". That says nothing about Mirkarimi but reveals much about his critics.
People who see the world as black or white are generally confident about their views. They need to conform the world to simplicities.
"committed an act of violence against my wife" then you're opinion of how to classify it is moot.
Sometimes simplicities are right. Sometimes it is right to prohibit the Fox from guarding the hen house. Mirkarimi would be guarding the house of abused(women). Can't you see how his actions make him unfit? An admitted wife-abuser who heads the department(sheriff) that deals with domestic abuse. Even a nice Fox should never be anywhere near the hens.
The D.A. knew what Ross would be up in getting a plea deal, and I imagine Gascon and "firewalled" Sharon Woo the plea's author are gloating at this latest outcome. Any thinking person now recognizes that had Ross not accepted a plea deal but fought it out to vindication, we would not be here. No matter how poisoned the voter rolls credited to the nexus of District Attorney and The Chronicle's destructive campaign, we wished Ross to slug it out. But overblown criminal charges create an impossibly heavy misanthropic burden on lesser men. Ross's behavior on NYE while out of bounds and explosive, does not itself constitute a DV pattern. Ross was tried on a legal technicality for a single act and the entire affair is a legal travesty. This new standard is no point of pride for San Francisco that touts a model system.The vendetta against Ross severely damages the domestic violence cause. Women of color especially fear the swath of destruction from criminalizing marital spats. An act of behavior such as yelling, grabbing, spitting in an argument is "criminal" and will be prosecuted. Bad behavior is no longer not tolerated, it will land a tormentor in court with criminal charges. Just find a neighbor to videotape you and provide the tape to the police: You need not make the call yourself to police, have your neighbor make it.
Guest you say: " and who clearly committed DV."
The Sheriff's wife Eliana Lopez does not agree with you, nor with the courts.
The way this city has treated her is shameful, the so called Ethic's commission has shown no ethics when they agreed that the infamous video be released in perpetuity on Youtube.
The court discounted her opinion by implying that Mrs Mirkarimi suffers from the battered women syndrome.
The way this city has treated Eliana is much worse than any arm grabbing that resulted in an accidental bruise.
Shall we put all San Franciscans on probation? Thanks.
"I committed an act of violence against my wife".
Are you calling Ross a liar?
I think this mayor should be suspended for wasting so much of our tax money on this situation
Or do you interpret everything according to your own private world?
WTF are you on? First paragraph reads:
"The Ethics Commission today unanimously rejected MOST of Mayor Ed Lee's official misconduct charges against suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi – INCLUDING abuse of power, impeding a police investigation, and dissuading witnesses –"
end, they find Ross guilty of one or more counts that are sufficient to uphold Lee's firing.
Prosecutors always ask for far more counts than they will get to increase their odds. Didn't you know that?
"Prosecutors always ask for far more counts than they will get to increase their odds. Didn't you know that? "
The above may be true, but if so, that's just incredibly dishonest. In an honest system, prosecutors would charge exactly as many counts as warranted. No more, no less.
Otherwise it's just a game, not a process of finding out the truth.
that they can conceivably try for. They know that juries are fickle and that nobody can predict which counts they will convict on. So they go for everything.
Likewise, it enables plea bargains of the type that benefitted Ross here, making three counts go away by pleading to a lessor count.
It's the way the system works and applies equally to all bad guys.
Either the person is suspected of doing something, or they are not. If they are, then charge them. If they're not, then don't. That's the way a system interested in finding the truth would work. Anything else, like throwing every conceivable charge at someone just to see what sticks, is a mockery of the word "justice."
Uh, no. Ross had to take a plea bargain because due to the malfeasance of the DA using the media to try him in the court of public opinion first, Ross couldn't get an impartial judge or jury. He could have plead "no contest" but would have ended up with who knows what sentence.
Guest troll, you're thinking is too shallow.
And he subsequently admitted on tape that he "committed an act of violence against my wife".
Not sure how much open and shut you need a case to be if the perp admits it.
Uh, I guess you believe in minority reports before the fact.
You shouldn't run for office then Guest troll. You may be indicted for having such vicious negative view on this discussion roll before you ever step foot in office despite being voted in by a wide margin by the voters of this city.
You're totally wrong Guest troll. Go crawl back into your hole.
Since the voters voted Mirkarimi in, they should be the ones to recall him. This law was, specifically, written for those officials already in office, actually, working in place. NOT to disqualify them before they get into office unless you're Ed Jew who was guilty from the start by taking actions to subvert the law.
Here Mirkarimi didn't try to subvert the law. Official misconduct is a serious offense and Mirkarimi's actions did not arise to that under state law of which it is described. Many officials commit official misconduct by frequently violating the public in both withholding public information and running public meetings to their advantage. These are both violations of state laws and our Sunshine law. Are these officials ever convicted by the Ethics Commission like Mirkarimi even though they have the same charges of official misconduct brought against them?
The answer is, uh, no. The Ethics Commission sits on their hands until someone has to sue them to produce the results. Then that threat of a lawsuit brings the city to their knees.
The Ethics Commission overstepped its bounds by voting for official misconduct.

accordingly. Their majority opinion was 80% which corresponds almost exactly to the voters' support for Lee's firing of Ross.
You make it sound like you think ross is the only innocent party here. He's a liar, a cheat, a wife-beater and a subverter of justice. He's also pig-headed, arrogant and conceited.
Just the kind of guy you'd support, right? Luckily the authorities see and know better.
Now I know how they come up with these wild numbers.
First, they prefaced with a ton of negative information about Ross Mirkarimi, mentioning nothing about the politicization of the case, the mayor's perjury, or even the fact that the alleged victim was dead set against the persecution from start to finish. Just that he pled guilty to charges related to domestic violence and was put on probation.
Only after they primed you with a one-sided shpiel, did they ask the "polling" questions. Questions like:
"Do you think someone on probation for three years is capable of performing their duties as sheriff?"
"Would you be more or less likely to vote for a supervisor who allowed a sheriff on probation to continue as sheriff?"
"Which of the following is most is important in your decision whether or not Sheriff Mirkarimi should be removed from office: that he is on probation, that he pled guilty to charges related to domestic violence, that the ethics commission voted to remove him, that [something else negative that I don't recall], or are you not sure?"
The last one didn't even provide any other option than to pick something nasty to say about Mirkarimi.
Folks, this is the way these polls get done. Someone who wants Ross removed digs into their deep pockets and pays for a push poll. The poll is worthless as a poll -you almost can't help but answer the questions the way they want you to answer. But it's not a poll -it's a narrative-setting device. Because next week you're going to see a headline in the Chronicle - "New poll: 80% of San Franciscans want Sheriff Mirkarimi removed from office."
It doesn't directly transfer to votes of course. But it generates headlines, and it shapes a media narrative, and surrogates major (like elected officials) and minor (like internet trolls) talk up the narrative. This is the way it's done when you want to get people to support something they wouldn't otherwise support. Whether they're trying to build a drumbeat for war in Iran, or remove a popularly-elected sheriff, the playbook is the same. This is what Noam Chomsky means when he talks about "manufacturing consent."
lol...the really didn't mentioned the Mayor's perjury???
I mean...Aaron Peskin said that he committed perjury. That is all the proof that anyone needs! It's not like Mirkarimi's misconduct finding. That was just the result of a 3 month EC hearing. Lee's perjury is a known fact because AARON PESKIN says it is! And they didn't even bring it up in the poll about Mirkarimi!!!
I really think that you guys have gone off the deep end. Really. The things that you are saying are just becoming pathetically desparate. And stupid, BTW.
They didn't bother to mention that the majority of the EC is made up of representatives of the three main individuals bringing the persecution in the first place.
Whether or not you agree with the ruling is beside the point. You may be OK with a closed system where the prosecutors are the judges, but would normal people who don't have a preconceived opinion about the case be OK with that?
Don't you think it's a valuable bit of information to know that the prosecutors are essentially the judges in this little kangaroo court? That's something they didn't bother to mention, and yet I think it's an important fact to have before making up your mind regarding this "ethics" commission ruling.
Greg, you're someone who can talk about Mayor Lee's perjury as if it is a proven fact, even though not one single iota of due process occurred, and no usable evidence was ever produced.
But when one of your Progressive heroes is accused you will accept nothing less than the perfect due process.
It's a city government. Population 800K. You're not going to get the Supreme Court treatment but there is no reason to believe that 4 commisioners, including one that Mirkarimi voted for, are going to subvert their personal and professional ethics for a part time volunteer job that none of them need.
5 political appointees overturn an election, the majority of whom are appointed by the same people trying to get it overturned.
"The Supreme Court treatment" is actually a *very* apt description.
Bush won the original election and all the recounts.
In fact, a consortium of newpapers paid to have *all* the votes recounted, but the result got obscured and buried in the unifying aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Bush *lost* when all the contested votes in Florida were recounted.
Bush *lost.*
That's what liberals don't want you to know.
See the link above. Conservatives like to make their own reality.
Yes. "Manufacturing Consent" is an apt reference here -- and a great read even today, because it is a true classic with a timeless nature.
Let's not omit mention of co-author, Edward S. Herman.
That book is an eye-opening study of the media's work: modifying the opinions of the intelligencia as well as all other malleable groups.
News of a grotesque push poll might cause me consternation, but not surprise. (What? No question regarding Lee being sprited safely away from the site of his "testi-lying" by a bogus bomb threat?)
But keep in mind that it could be written from any political perspective.
The entire media is in general biased in someway, also add that it's individual members are hurried, lazy and often just useless.
The book is good but keep in mind it could be written by an Ayn Rand fan, there are dozens of books by the likes of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh who touch on the same points in Manufacturing Consent.
...or that you are now making an honest attempt to characterize it. (Concern troll?)
It's been some time since I read it, so I know I couldn't do it justice if I were to attempt to synopsize it here, but Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky used statistical analysis of news stories appearing in the New York Times, comparing the total column-inches of reports on topics which might damage U.S. client states, with stories that might give them cover. The plight of East Timor, for instance.
Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are intellectual flyweights compared to Chomsky and Herman; they simply employ slick catch phrases and repetitive slogans. It's comparing a crooked used-car salesman to a surgeon who is foremost in his field.
I believe the point was also made in the book that reporters are in general "working class" but that newspaper owners are *not*; and that when the rubber hits the road it doesn't matter how many news reporters got *Liberal* arts educations based on liberal education programs and/or their parents' union jobs: the owners make their desires clear and such is the main driving force behind imbalanced news coverage.
I agree. What a waste of taxpayer money! And, that a judge decided to WAIT until the City process had played out, to rule on whether the City Charter's official misconduct clause banning "conduct that falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers," is unconstitutionally vague? Putz. This clause is unconstitutionally vague ... especially considering San Francisco's community cultures.
Totally agree with you. It really shows how corrupt even the judicial system is here. We hardly ever see or hear about it but in this case it really, really shows. Why bother even voting for a judge. They're always unopposed. Just let anyone fill out an application and sit on the bench then. There is no justice on these justices.
ITA!!! (SFBG should include a "like" button so we don't have to reply to everything we like but can just do one click!)
Underwhelming, you mean, especially when you consider who appointed the tools on the EC. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion what their votes would be. The only surprise was Ben Hur, and I must say he was absolutely stellar throughout the proceedings. Make that one courageous man with a conscience and four cowardly sock puppets of Ed Lee.
>"The Ethics Commission today unanimously rejected most of Mayor Ed Lee's official misconduct charges against suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi"
Yup. In related news Buster Posey and Matt Cain were NOT suspended for 50 games yesterday.
Who appointed these clowns anyway? Oh wait... majority of the commission is appointed by Ed Lee, George Gascon, and Dennis Herrera. The same three people leading this coup. Judge, jury, and executioner.
Why are we even pretending this process has any legitimacy?
If this kind of thing were happening in Iran, we'd be denouncing it as the absurd sham that it is. But here, pundits are discussing it as some sort of legitimate process. WTF???
Their verdict is fair, balanced and in line with what 3/4 of SF'ers think. The fact that Ross is a leftie is the only factor you take into account.
Ross stated on video: "I committed an act of violence against my wife". That's it, right there. No "my wife pulled away, thereby bruising herself" that some have insulted us with here.
No, our sheriff admits being violent to his wife. End of story.
And yes, I'd be praising them, because they'd be showing remarkable courage by bucking the guys who appointed them, probably chopping off their ladder-climbing careers in mid-stream, and demonstrating distinctly un-hacklike conduct. It would be as if one of Stalin's secret 3-man military tribunals actually found someone *not* guilty for a change. It would be praisworthy precisely because it would never happen.
As it is, they demonstrated that they're just regular apparatchiks doing exactly what they're told to do.
If the EC had found for Ross, they'd be "great".
But the EC find for Lee, so they are "crap".
Why not just say "I love Ross" and leave it at that? Because your "analysis" really goes no further than that.
It's always been crap. If the flunkies staffing the kangaroo court that is the ethics commission had come up with a non-crap-like ruling, well then they'd be something other than what they are -machine hacks. It's a what-if scenario of an alternate reality that neither exists nor is even possible. So it's pointless to speculate because right from the start there could only have been one outcome.
That pretty much sums up every leftie I've ever met. It's all back to that "giant right-wing conspiracy" thing again huh?
But if you care to respond to what I actually said, rather than your own paraphrased version of what you wish I said, then maybe we can have a productive discussion.
60% of voters voted for Lee, although his approval rating is currently in the 70's.
76% of SF voters polled support Lee in firing Ross.
80% of the EC think Ross should not serve.
See a pattern there?

Product DescriptionInspired by the high-volume dove shooting found around Cordoba, Argentina, Benelli engineers designed the Cordoba as a lightning fast hunting gun with all the advanced features of a serious sporting clays shotgun. Incorporated into the new Cordoba is the 10-mm tapered sporting rib favored by competition shooters and porting to keep barrel climb to a minimum. The ComforTech stock cushions the blow when an afternoon's ammo isn't measured in boxes, but by the case. The ComforTech system also helps reduce barrel climb and puts the shooter back on target 69% faster, making the Cordoba possibly the fastest field gun ever built. A Crio barrel and extended Crio choke tubes put more pellets on target.

I did rest pretty good last night but I still woke up too darn early this morning and I woke up with my lower back not feeling like I would hope it would. I am sure yesterday had something to do with this.
I do hope each of you had a good night's rest and I hope today will be a good day for all of us.
I have Harley today...and she is tired of the rain also. She likes to get outside and run and play in the sunshine. She had a restless time last night going to sleep...she was tired but did not want to give it up.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our support group...I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better with the wrath of the dragon, aka FM. It does take a trial and error process to find the right combination of *tools and tips* ....so hang in here and learn all you can about what other FMers have found that helps them. You should also remember too that what helps one may or may not help you...only you can decide on this. As for me...I have learned how to *control my FM pain* by taking vitamins and supplements and doing other things as well. Using heating pads and Stopain Spray is something that I depend upon...drinking plenty of water each day and watching what I eat it also important...keeping a schedule of sorts also helps...and learning how to pace, pace and pace even more.
I have found that IF I cross the line....then I am in trouble...and it is not worth it...you have to learn though just how much you can do, without doing too much....this also takes time and effort.
Vitamin D....my favorite tip...and I continue to include this in my daily posts...I only wish that I could shout this out to the world...as I think it is just that important...low Vitamin D can cause some people to have additional pain and it can also affect other illnesses as well. The best part about this is that it is a cheap fix...I take my multi vitamin with extra D....just to make sure that I get what I need.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Have a good day...stay safe and stay warm.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
Rainy here too. I had some snow last night returning from work, but now is rainy. I too, while waiting for the computer to wake up, was thinking of spring and how desperately I NEED IT.
I can't imagine a life without the season changes but i am tiring of it at this stage....I have seen the buds to the trees so I know it is coming in slowly .
I started a new project at work joining the computers from our private ones to being with Columbia in Manhattan. Going well (I think so)....I am impressed with myself when I learn a new thing and I see I can. At my age and with our issues I always am fearful that I can't do things....
I asked for a headset for myself as working with the insurance companies on the phone is THE WORST for the neck....We'll see how long she takes to get me it.
In better form this a.m. I slept very well last night so things are looking good for the day to get something done. Though if you looked in the house it is such a mess with all the closets chlothes all over ! Poor DH walks around to find shoes...a shirt...pants are where??? HA... It is actually funny!
Well, hope the sun is out in your area, I will make myself busy to not notice this rain and I am getting my foil frosting done later today so I AM HAPPY. new/old hairdresser....hoping it won't kill me $$$. But I need to be blonde.....
Take slow...P A C E and bring it here when you have had enough............Nancy B
Those who migrate south for the winter aren't liking it this year... Some of them have complained to me... like it is my fault... Like "I" control the weather just cuz I live here... lol... Don't I wish... I would surely even it out a lot better lol... warmer winters... Well I doubt it... Maybe a snow storm... at least one lol... And cooler summers... So I can at least go outside for part of the summer... At least go outside for the spring... That would be nice... But we get no fall and spring here... Jumps to cold and hot... To cold and hot... I do miss the seasons so very much... I miss the "regular" temperatures... Even when the cold was around 0 and then around 90... At least I could see a snowman and a beautiful snow angel... Did hurt a lot to get back up tho lol... lol... lol... And I could last in a pool longer then 10 minutes before the heat told me to go inside... lol...
Today's high will be 64 at least... Yesterdays was 59... But it felt cold all day... I wasn't out in it much... The one thing I like about hurting and feeling weak and sick is I don't get up much to smoke... We go outside or in the garage to smoke... Both are about as cold but the garage is minus the wind lol...
My pain level was out the window and then out the universe yesterday... And I had to make a special day for my grandson Ethan... It was a rotten day... But he was cool about it... I felt bad... He just kept telling me that he loved me like it was going to cure me... And I must admit it helped a lot... Till he started jumping on the bed... Then our day came to an end...
I am writing a post about something I want a poll on... Not exactly FM related... More life related... Hope some of you will give me your opinion... I would greatly appreciate it... It means a lot to me and I find myself really needing advice from people I trust... That is you for the most part... Thank you in advance...
Hope you are all having a great day... Pain free or as pain free as can be would be nice... I am not in as much pain as I was in yesterday so I am counting my blessings... And thanking God... Still have a slight weird headache... But I will keep ice packing it...
You all take care and do something special for yourself today {and everyday... for you are special...}...
Love... Jan/Dakota
MiMi sorry you had such a long, and painful, wait yesterday. I too hate that doctor's will cancel your appointment if you are 15 minutes late, but the other way around you have to wait and wait. Not fair. Hope you feel better quickly.
Not a lot to post about. Am waiting for the DISH repairman to come. He called 2 hours ago and said he'd be here around 8 and it's 10 now. Like a doctor I wait and wait and yet I don't get to cancel him.
Will close this here with feel well wishes going out to all. Have a great day everyone.
Gentle hugs, Linda R.
It has been raining here in north Florida since Friday morning. I thin we have flood warnings out. The rivers are really high. It is warm outside. Close to 70 degrees. I love living here. We do get all four seasons here, just no snow or icy roads. We do every once in a great while get snow flurries.But it rarely ever sticks. Our yards are flooded tonight. My brother teased me saying we now have a house boat! It does kinda look that way. My poor dogs are having trouble finding a place outsid to their business.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I have been totally lazy all day. I did fix an easy dinner. With it just being my brother and I now, meals are so much easier. My soon to be ex always liked bigger meals. Now that he has moved out things are so much easier for me as far as cooking and house cleaning. I never though being single would be so nice!
Soft hugs to all!
You were talking flood on Saturday. That was 2 very wet days ago. Are you all right?
Maybe it's just me, but it feels like we are a very large, very caring family. The threads are about more than FM, they are about life and living it fully in trying conditions.
Keep your head above water.
BetteK in chilly SW rural NY state
Thanks so much for the concern. Luckily my place did not flood. We did have a lot of standing water. But most of that is gone now. We do have a lot of roads that are flooded or washed away. The rivers are still rising so more flooding is expected.
We are one big family here. In some ways better than our own families. Everyone here understands the pain and problems we all are going through. No one judges you or thinks you are faking. I feel so blessed to be part of this family.
Thanks again for caring.

I travel to learn, eat, golf and ski, but mostly for travel's sake
Welcome back to "Great Urban Weekend Escapes." Today we visit the River City, Memphis, Tennessee, a fantastic choice for a weekend getaway.
In fact, I had been to Memphis thrice before but was still shocked by how many stand-out attractions the city offers and how far it has come in recent years.
At the risk of repeating myself, I'm going to very briefly recap the logic behind this recurring feature, Great Urban Weekend Escapes. My first focused on Indianapolis, Indiana, in which I explain the column concept in much greater detail, so to learn more, read that one.
The idea is simple: As someone who travels a great deal, I've become a big fan of more manageable cities, those perfect for weekend or long weekend escapes. My rules for what makes a city a great weekend choice include at least one standout attraction, like a Graceland or Alamo. It must also have unique or diverse cuisine, while natural attractions, great lodging, notable cultural offerings/museums, and shopping are all big pluses. I've said this before: If you live in Memphis, please take your selection as a compliment. I'm not suggesting your hometown is only "worth" a couple of days – I happily live in a town of less than 5,000 souls with two restaurants and no major attractions myself. Rather, I'm saying your city is user-friendly and jam-packed enough to be enjoyed in a weekend – hopefully the first of many weekend visits.
Memphis excels, and I mean really excels, in four distinct areas, each worth a visit: attractions, culture/museums, entertainment, and dining.
The 800-pound gorilla of Memphis tourism is Graceland, the former home of the city's most famous son, Elvis Presley, which draws pilgrims from every corner of the globe. For many visitors, Graceland alone is enough reason to make the trip to Memphis, and I can appreciate that because it is a really good attraction and very well run. Even if you have no interest in The King from a fandom or music prospective, it is well worth visiting, and simply one of the nation's marquee attractions. I wrote at length about Graceland here at Forbes.com in a separate piece a few weeks ago, as it is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary of being open to the public, with plenty of detail on visiting and how to make the most of it.
But surprisingly, while Graceland is the city's most famous attraction, it is not the most visited one. According to the city's excellent tourism bureau, depending on how you count an "attraction," that honor goes to either the Beale Street Entertainment District or the Memphis Zoo. The latter is one of only four in the nation with Giant pandas, a major draw. The zoo is over a century old, spans 70-acres, and has over 3,500 animals representing 500 species. It has been rated the number one zoo in the nation by TripAdvisor readers, and has done more than $77 million in renovations in the past 20 years. Beale Street is packed with bars, restaurants, shops and most of all live music venues, with the sounds spilling into the street nightly. Beale is in the heart of downtown, convenient to most hotels, and has been declared a National Historic Landmark and thanks to an act of Congress is officially the nation's "Home of the Blues." W.C. Handy park in the middle of Beale Street often hosts live outdoor concerts, and the charming minor league stadium for the Tennessee Redbirds is a two minute walk away and a great way to spend an afternoon.
Beale Street is both a daytime attraction and nighttime entertainment option, and hearing live music here is almost mandatory. To me the best of the many venue options are B.B. King's and the Rum Boogie Café, but everyone has a favorite. I will note that the quality of the food on Beale Street, especially when it comes to barbecue, pales before the rest of the city and is very touristy.
More than Beale Street or even Graceland, the sights that really set Memphis apart are its very unique museums, most notably the National Civil Rights Museum. Many visitors I know have been so blown away by this that they suggest it be culturally mandatory for all Americans. After my most recent visit, which was my wife's first, she remarked, "I don't understand why everyone doesn't come to Memphis," after being particularly swayed by this museum and the others nearby.
Great article about the city that I know and love! You really hit on some of the best that our community has to offer…but there is so much more, which makes your jam-packed weekend getaway something that you might have to extend over a few weekends!
So many typos! also, next time you're in the bluff city (i've lived here for over ten years) you should check out the Memphis BBQ Co. in Southhaven. It has the best/most consistantly succulent/flavorfully smoked BBQ anywhere in the region. And for the record: Central BBQ is hit or miss and embarrassingly overrated.
As a 25-year resident, I'd have to disagree. Central BBQ is very consistent, as are Interstate, Gridley's…the list goes on.
I am from the bluff city…. and always look forward to my weekend visits home… thanks for the article, I have been everywhere you mentioned and agree! Especially with the Central BBQ, def the best in the city!
Nice article, so many of my friends like to visit Memphis, it kind of grows on you. After temporary visits over the years I finally realized I wanted to call Memphis home. I love the diversity of good eats in Memphis and encourage you to explore the wider range of cuisines available. Maybe it is the diversity in many areas that keeps me interested.
It's hard to believe anyone ever saying anything good or nice about Memphis. I've lived in this City all my life and from talking to people who moved here from other places, I can tell you it's nothing nice. They would go on and on about how much better every where else was. I was beginning to think that next worse spot to live was Hell. All I can say is I like Memphis, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I don't go to the touristy spots as much anymore, and only eat TOPS barbeque if I eat barbeque. Also, after visiting other cities around the world, each city's 'citizens' all have their 'short comings', and I know the 'short comings' of my fair city, all I can say I can deal with our short comings better than other places.

The government says the number of troubled loans backed by the federal mortgage insurance program is on the rise as economic troubles mount.
However, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan is telling Senate lawmakers Thursday that the Federal Housing Administration is "unlikely to face the catastrophic losses borne in the subprime sector." He says in prepared remarks that that is partly because it didn't back loans for more expensive properties that have plummeted in value.
As of February, 7.2% of loans backed by the FHA were either 90 days overdue or in foreclosure, up from 5.8% last August.
The FHA is the main source of home loans to borrowers with poor credit and low down payments after the subprime lending market's collapse.

The Democrats Were Against Petraeus Before They Were For Him
They love him in Afghanistan but opposed him in Iraq.
Gen. David Petraeus is now the darling of the Democrats. Having been picked by President Barack Obama to lead U.S. efforts on the ground in Afghanistan, Petraeus, the architect of the surge in Iraq, is being praised by the Democrats from pillar to post.
It wasn't always so.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on Afghanistan.]
As President Bush's point man on the Iraq War at a time when the left was demanding the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops there, Petraeus was the object of numerous "slings and arrows" fired by Bush's political opponents including the now infamous ad placed in the New York Times by MoveOn.org which referred to him as "Gen. Betray Us."
The Democrats' newfound love for the general is proof of the old adage that "Nothing succeeds like success." Petraeus' plan for Iraq worked, as most everyone now acknowledges, and it led to his appointment as head of CentCom, the Pentagon's regional command that gave him overall responsibility for both Iraq and Afghanistan.
But while all the president's men are busy wrapping their arms around Petraeus, the Republicans are going into overdrive to remind everyone that the Democrats didn't always feel the love where their newest hero was concerned.
On Thursday the Republican National Committee issued a document putting the issue in sharp relief. Aimed at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the RNC asked if the Nevada senator was ready to "apologize" to Petraeus for having previously questioned his credibility.
[See which industries donated the most to Reid.]
A collection of Reid's own statements, including one where he asserted that Petraeus had "made a number of statements over the years that have not proven to be factual," the RNC document also alludes to disparaging remarks made by Reid to a group of liberal bloggers back in June 2007. In that same interview, Politico's John Bresnahan reported, Reid referred to the then-outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Gen. Peter Pace, as "incompetent."
It is yet to be determined if the GOP's strategy will be successful, but given the public's current distrust of career politicians, it seems sensible to point out, in a political context, that far too many Democrats were against Petraeus before they were for him.

"My husband's aunt passed along this super-easy recipe for this Hungarian sweet bread, and I made a couple of revisions to my family's taste. Cinnamon, poppy seed, or walnuts are a traditional filling. Her recipe is for cinnamon, but one of my favorite ways is to break from tradition and use a cocoa/sugar/butter/vanilla mixture. It's delicious, especially when the leftovers are toasted and buttered!"

Original recipe yields 2 loaves
- Place flour, white sugar, salt, and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer. In a bowl, whisk together egg, melted butter, warm milk, and vanilla extract; pour into the flour mixture. Using dough hook attachment, mix on low until the flour is moistened and a dough forms, then increase speed to medium, and continue kneading until smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Place dough into a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch down dough, turn out onto a floured work surface, and divide into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/3 inch thick rectangle. Brush each square with melted butter. Mix together cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the two rectangles.
- Roll each firmly into a log, pinch the ends closed, and tuck them underneath. Place each into a greased, glass loaf pan. Cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter, then bake in preheated oven until loaves are golden brown, and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes.

This was pretty simple to make using my Kitchen Aid mixer. I proofed the yeast in my mixer bowl with the warm milk and sugar for ten minutes, then added the whisked egg, vanilla, and butter. After that had combined well, I added the combined flour and salt. After that had combined, I took the submitter's advice and added dried Craisins. I had to add an additional 1/2 c. flour to get the dough to jump on the hook, but once it did, I let it knead with the hook for about five minutes or so. I then let it rise in a greased metal pan on my warm oven, covered with a moist towel, for an hour. After that, I divided the bread into two loaves, rolled it out and added the butter and brown sugar. I formed it into loaves and set them in the loaf pans and covered them again with the moist towel and let them rise for a second time for about fourty-five minutes. It only needed to bake for about a half hour. I don't usually time my breads, you just kind of know after a while. They smell done. This was a fun bread to make and smells out of sight when baking. Quite the stress reliever. No way you can be upset when smelling a wonderful sweet bread baking! Thanks, Valerie. NOTE: I did use unsalted butter, lowfat buttermilk, organic flour and brown sugar Splenda. For those of you who are timid bread makers, just go for it. I used to be, but now I really enjoy making bread by hand. Use your Kitchen Aid. It cuts your work in half!
I'm the submitter of the recipe. I'm so glad many of you have enjoyed our family recipe. I've put practically everything under the sun in this bread! A favorite of my family is chopped bittersweet chocolate and dried tart cherries. It's divine. It's also good to add cocoa to the dough to make chocolate bread.
Warm gooey goodness! This was soooo good! I about doubled the brown sugar requirement for the filling, and added walnuts and it turned out absolutely fabulous. I would love to try the cocoa powder/butter/vanilla mixture. Or maybe sugar/orange/cranberry/pecans.

RALEIGH — At 83, singer Harry Belafonte can boast a deep connection to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee: sending bail money to its leaders who were jailed for their protests, flying to Mississippi during the Freedom Summer voter drive, entertaining activists with his famous Banana Boat Song.
But as he addressed SNCC's 50th anniversary reunion at Shaw University on Friday, Belafonte shunned nostalgia. Instead, he scolded the crowd for celebrating civil rights triumphs of the past while staying silent on modern-day injustice.
"Most of what I'm hearing is about what was, and how well we did it," said Belafonte in a hoarse voice. "We all know what was, and how well we did it. The question is, 'Who is talking about what is, and how badly we are doing it now?'"
More than 800 people from across the nation are at Shaw for the conference, which runs through Sunday.
The aged civil rights warriors who endured beatings and arrests in the cause of black equality rose to their feet as Belafonte took the microphone. They clapped and chanted "Day-O," his best-known song. But Belafonte quickly changed the mood.
He asked why we don't hear more outcry about the growing prison population in America, or the rapes in the Congo, or the neo-fascist rise in Germany, or the need to instill today's youth with the same sense of moral purpose that drove the civil rights movement. He spoke about his efforts to make peace between youth gangs, and the trouble he finds getting onetime SNCC members to lend help.
'Where is our voice?'
"Where is our voice?" Belafonte asked. "Why are we so soft?"
A global activist, Belafonte turns up frequently in the Triangle. A Habitat for Humanity development in Southeast Raleigh includes a Belafonte Drive, just off Jimmy Carter Street.
Belafonte's words are rarely gentle, even though he is 83. Four years ago, he called George W. Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" for the war he waged in Iraq, and he has labeled Colin Powell a liar for his insistence that Iraqis were harboring weapons of mass destruction.
In 2006, Belafonte spoke at Duke University for a commemoration of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. In that speech, he suggested a moral equivalence between the Sept. 11 hijackers and the war in Iraq. "What is the difference between that terror and other terrors?" he asked.
In 2007, Belafonte endorsed former N.C. Sen. John Edwards for president. Edwards, the now-disgraced Raleigh lawyer, had to distance himself from Belafonte's description of Bush as a "tyrant" and for supporting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Barbs for Obama
On Friday, Belafonte asked the crowd at Shaw to be more self-critical, more self-analytical and to continue to the commitment to ending oppression that SNCC showed 50 years ago. He drew only a muted applause when he expressed disappointment in President Barack Obama's agenda, which he said included propping up banks in a time of economic crisis.
"Yes, I'm proud that Barack Obama is president," he said, but "I find nothing that speaks to the issue of the poor. I find nothing that speaks to the issue of the disenfranchised. I find a lot of people rushing for cover anytime you criticize Barack Obama."
After the speech, Shaw's interim president, Dorothy C. Yancy, called Belafonte's words a good reminder.
"You see things happen and the world changes," she said. "But I know why I do what I do. The youth are our future."
The conference continues today with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. He will likely have Belafonte as a listener. The singer, who will perform tonight, promised to stay at the conference to the end, just to see how it winds up.

BRADENTON — After about 30 minutes of deliberation, the jury unanimously recommended the death penalty for Delmer Smith.
Smith showed no emotion while several in the gallery quietly cried with the hands over the mouths.
Judge Peter Dubensky said he expects a sentencing hearing to occur in two months.
The jury voted 12-0 to recommend that Dubensky sentence Smith, 41, to death for beating Kathleen Briles to death on Aug. 9, 2009.
The recommendation was announced about 4:45 p.m.
The jury started its deliberations shortly after 4 p.m., after hearing testimony and arguments during the punishment phase of the trial.
Smith was convicted last week of first-degree murder in the slaying of Briles. The state and defense presented evidenceT uesday to support the death penalty or life in prison, respectively.
Nicole Mitchell was watching CSI and making jewelry in her living room on March 14, 2009 in a Sarasota rental home, when she felt a presence.
When I turned around, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, Mitchell testified. It was extremely quick. The lights went off right away. I was grabbed and I was pushed onto the couch face down. Of course I started screaming. The person grabbed my mouth and asked me to stop screaming and said if I didnt cooperate, he said, I have a gun. I will kill you.
Mitchell remembered feeling something hard against her temple. She was able to take off her jewelry and hide it under the couch. Smith then led her through the home, threatening her with the gun and looking for valuables.
I was shaking. I was crying. My heart was beating very fast, Mitchell said, recalling thanking Smith for his kindness. You dont want to die and you dont want to get hurt, so I was really cooperating.
Mitchell said she was forced back into the living room and told to lie on her stomach. Smith took a television set from the wall and bound her using electrical cords. Mitchell said her wrists were tied behind her back. Smith tied her ankles and connected them to a cord around her neck so if I moved my legs, I would strangle myself.
Mitchell said Smith ransacked the house, taking her wallet and watch before leaving.
Mitchell was able to free her right arm from the cords and untie the rest of the bonds.
Smith was convicted of armed home invasion and kidnapping in the case earlier this year and sentenced to life in prison.
Mitchells testimony is one of many ways the state is arguing aggravated circumstances. During testimony last week, the state said it was shown that Briles murder was committed during a burglary, for financial gain and was especially heinous or cruel.
The state also called Robert Feverston, Manatee County Sheriff latent print examiner, and Gerri Cotter, U.S. probation officer to show Smith was already convicted.
Smith was under Cotters supervision from September 2008 to October 2009 after being convicted of federal bank robbery and aiding and abetting.
Also called to the stand were Diane Brinker, Briles sister, and Dr. James Briles, her husband, to read prepared victim impact statements.
Brinker recalled having Briles as an anchor during times struggle.
I have lost my security, my best friend and my sister, Brinker said, adding that she has watched many of her sisters dreams come true, including the birth of her first grandson Mason James Briles.
Dr. James Briles recalled falling in love with Kathleen Briles under a blue moon on Dec. 31, 1990.
She always told me, its me and three. They (her children) were everything to her, he said. The biggest tragedy here is that her three children will never be able to share their lives with their mother again.
Dr. Briles said he and his wife were able to make it through the good and bad because of their partnership.
My heart is broken. My love is lost. And these are not recoverable, Dr. Briles said.
The state rested after those witnesses.
The defense called Smiths two nieces and a neuropsychologist to show a different side of Smith and possible mental mitigating factors.
Alicia Phillips, 29, recalled living with her grandparents Smiths parents in Michigan.
He was my favorite uncle, Phillips said, mentioning when Smith stopped her grandmother while punishing her with a switch. He gave me birthday presents, Christmas presents. He would take me out. He would try to guide me in the right direction.
Phillips wrote Smith letters, talked to him on the phone and visited him in prison. Smith was incarcerated at the time his mother died, she said.
He knew it happened, but we didnt really discuss it, Phillips said. We didnt want to tell him anything that was going to break his heart in there.
Phillips said she loves Smith and he is in her prayers.
Christina Smith, 23, was emotional on the stand as she testified to being young when her uncle was incarcerated in Michigan.
I was too young to know he had gone to prison. I just knew he was away from us, Smith said, adding that she realized he was in prison when they began talking on the phone and writing letters. It made me love him harder because I knew he needed love.
I understand what their family is going through, but I dont think its right for him to be away from us either, Smith said, referencing the Briles family.
The defense also called Dr. Hyman Eisenstein, a neuropsychologist who evaluated Smith in July, to testify his findings.
Eisenstein said previous psychological evaluations showed Smith had academic failings, having to repeat second, third, fourth and fifth grades. Eisenstein said Smiths attention deficit disorder went untreated. He also said there was documentation of physical, emotional and sexual abuse against Smith.
Mr. Smith, he has several major issues that have plagued him really his entire life, Eisenstein said.
Eisenstein said Smith suffers from brain impairments in his frontal lobe and has borderline intelligence.
Eisenstein went on to say Smith, while incarcerated, worked toward self-improvement while taking classes.
Smiths brain impairments affect judgment, reasoning, problem-solving, Eisenstein said, adding that the controlled environment in prison led Smith to positive behavior while incarcerated.
Eisenstein said Smith has anti-social behavior and tries to deny his brain impairments.
He wants to appear normal, Eisenstein said. He seems to think that talking about some of his impairments makes him less of a person. He only wants to look at his strengths.
Eisenstein said Smiths impulsivity and lack of frontal lobe cognitive functioning may have led to the events surrounding Briles death.
The planning of the robbery was certainly impulsive, he said. Its my best hypothesis that when confronted with the situation his reaction was one of shock. Rather than leaving the situation, he further got himself in more trouble with the inability to step away from a bad situation.
The state will have a chance to cross-examine Eisenstein and call an expert psychiatrist after lunch. The prosecutors and defense attorneys will then give closing arguments and jury deliberation will begin.

This article from the Philadelphia Weekly describes how the Pennsylvania Transit Coalition (PTC)--a statewide alliance of labor, business, civic, religious and environmental groups--wants to "raise awareness" of the need for dedicated funding for the Commonwealth's mismanaged and broke public transit systems. They basically want new legislation that will rob Peter to pay for Paul's transit. Some of the ideas on the table:
- "Gov. Ed Rendell endorsed a bill introduced by Philadelphia Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans. The measure would raise $110 million to make up the transit funding shortfall for the current fiscal year for SEPTA, the Port Authority in Pittsburgh and smaller transit agencies across the state by increasing various fees.
The driver's record fee would go up from $5 to $12; the motor vehicle rental fee would double, increasing from $2 to $4; the tax on new tires would increase from $1 to $3; and the state would implement a new emissions inspection sticker fee of $2.
Rep. Keith McCall, the top Democrat on the House Transportation Committee, recently floated a proposal he hopes will win over rural colleagues demanding more money for road and bridge projects.
One part of McCall's $580 million plan would raise the cost of annual vehicle registrations for passenger cars from $36 to $43, while SUV and minivan owners would have to shell out $50. McCall also proposes to make permanent the four-cent-a-gallon increase in the state gasoline tax that took effect Jan. 1.
A third provision in McCall's plan mirrors a bill introduced by Philadelphia Democratic Sen. Vince Fumo. He recommends increasing the state realty transfer tax by half of a percent, to a total of 1.5 percent. That new revenue would be earmarked for helping Port Authority Transit in Allegheny County, SEPTA and smaller transit systems in Pennsylvania.
PTC doesn't favor one measure over another, [PTC member Marc] Stier says."
Sure they don't. As long as "free" money is coming from someone's pockets to pour more money into the transit black hole, then PTC's objectives are met.
Notice though that there's no call for trimming transit bureaucracy and waste; opening transit up to private competition; higher fares to better reflect costs; performance-based management/budgeting; or any other types of market-based approaches that would force transit systems to actually step up, compete, and provide better service. The solutions so far boil down to one thing -- increase fees and taxes on Commonwealth residents in the stealthiest way possible. Truly sad.

McALESTER — The McAlester Buffalo wrestling team has speed, strength and smarts. Its wrestlers can quickly pin their opponents or gut out three-round decisions.
The Buffs have some powerful wrestlers, but as Thursday's dual-meet showed, perhaps they don't quite yet have enough.
The Tahlequah Tigers won nine of 14 total matches, powering them to a 51-23 win against the Buffaloes on Thursday at Bob Brumley Gymnasium.
While the loss ran the Buffs' varsity record to 0-3, the Junior Buffs wrestling team continued its fantastic season. The Jr. Buffs won 13 of their 15 matches, including seven wins by first-round falls, to beat the Tigers' junior high team, 66-9, and improve to 2-1 in dual-meets this season.

Moor Downs Golf Course
Surrounding the Waukesha County Office Building, Moor Downs Golf Course was originally built in 1915 as an addition to the renowned Moor Bath Hotel and Spa. This well maintained 9-hole course is an excellent facility for the youth, novice, senior and experienced golfer.
Construction of the new Health and Human Services building is almost complete! We will see less equipment and more plantings going in around the building as we get ready for the official ribbon cutting in fall!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is big, rich and long. Still tastes like must. Hard to taste, but should be fantastic. I love the richness and spice."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Marked by oak spice, this reveals toast, peach, apple and lemon underneath. Rich, open and balanced on the bright side, with a long finish. Improved with a few hours aeration."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An intense, tight wine, with stalky black currant fruit. It exhibits delicacy and elegance rather than power. Fresh fruit with an attractive smoky element make this a wine that is going to develop further, and it has a fresh, vibrant finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Les Pagodes de Cos is also a remarkable offering. Composed of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, and is better than most Cos d'Estournel vintages produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It is a full-bodied, opulently concentrated..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... there is good ripeness to the vibrant and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that exude a fine minerality on the precise, pure and lingering finish. This is a quality villages that is a bit more forward than the old vines cuvée."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Good dark red. Black cherry, licorice and herbs on the ripe nose; reminded me a bit of cabernet. Fat and sweet but energetic too, with lovely roundness and balance to the flavors of dark cherry, currant and spices. Finishes with very sweet tannins and noteworthy persistence. A strong village..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An exceptionally elegant nose of lemon zest, white flower, spiced pear and plenty of stone influence complements well the equally mineral-infused, intense and beautifully welldetailed flavors that possess that wonderful sense of underlying tension. I particularly like the long, dry and linear..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright pale yellow. Pure, discreet pineapple and stone aromas reminded me of a riesling. Brisk and focused, with a saline quality to the grapefruit and white pepper flavors. Terrific acidity and cut here. Finishes smooth, very long and perfumed, leaving behind a strong floral element in the..

The following discussion papers examine issues of affordable housing, community and economic development, financial education, and consumer credit and payments that affect low- and moderate-income people and communities.
Appraisers have often been criticized for the inflated home values that were more prevalent during the housing boom, as well as overly conservative valuations during the housing bust. However, little research has been done to help understand how appraisal valuations respond to rapidly changing local market conditions and regulatory environments. This study provides an empirical examination of the pattern of appraisal bias during the housing crisis in the Third Federal Reserve District. Based on a unique transaction-level appraisal data set, this study evaluates how the lack of market activity, the concentration of foreclosures, and the increased use of appraisal management companies, as well as other factors, impact the incidence of low appraisals during the crisis. This study further examines the possible challenges created by low appraisals on the access to mortgage credit.
We analyze a large, nationally representative anonymized data set of consumers with a credit report from 2002 to 2010. This is a period that encompasses a boom and bust in consumer credit. Using census data, we classify consumers into four categories of relative neighborhood income and find that, over time, the number and proportion of consumers with a credit report fell in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and rose in higher-income neighborhoods. Population trends evident from census data explain only a portion of these changes in the location of the credit bureau population. In most instances, the primary driver reflects residential migration from relatively poorer neighborhoods to ones with relatively higher incomes. Patterns of entry into or exit from the credit bureau population were correlated with the credit cycle, as well as with relative neighborhood income, resulting in slower sample growth in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods during periods of credit contraction. These results are interesting in themselves, but they are also important for interpreting empirical results estimated from credit bureau data.
This paper examines borrower characteristics over the course of the previous decade, a period in which the FHA experienced both a sharp decline in its market share and lending volume as the subprime segment expanded and a subsequent reversal of fortune as it emerged as one of the major supports of the housing market in the wake of the subprime collapse. The report provides information on trends in borrower cohorts along such dimensions as first-time homebuyer status, income, and FICO score; examines variations across regions in overall lending trends and borrower characteristics; considers what borrower patterns in post-subprime years may suggest about the nature of the FHA borrower pool going forward; and draws on the paper's empirical findings to identify factors that policymakers might consider in evaluating how different proposals for the evolution of the housing finance sector might affect the nature of FHA lending.
Based on a review and assessment of the literature on the costs and benefits of homeownership, provides a framework for public policy toward lower-income homeownership through an analysis of how those costs and benefits are affected by the homebuyer's income. Makes the case that public policy and resources should be directed less toward maximizing the number of lower-income homeowners and more toward maximizing the quality and stability of the homeownership experience for lower-income owners; offers a series of specific policy recommendations to that end.
Analyzes the racial gap in subprime mortgages over time. The study estimates a portion of the gap that cannot be attributed to such characteristics as income, credit score, loan amount, degree of documentation, denial rate, residence in a minority tract, and debt-to-income ratio. It concludes that the unexplained portion suggests that bias in mortgage lending cannot be ruled out.
Reviews and assesses the existing literature on the potential economic impact of introducing casino gambling into a community or region, first by discussing the casinos' effect on economic activity and growth within a community or region, and then by exploring their effect on government revenues. Also discusses the literature related to the economic impact of social costs widely associated with gambling, such as increases in crime, bankruptcy, and problem gambling.

Examines the use of alternative financial service providers (AFSPs) such as check-cashing outlets and pawnshops in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, and Allegheny counties. Also explores whether these providers are disproportionately serving minority and low-income areas.
Continues the use of the spatial void hypothesis methodology to analyze the location of alternative financial service providers, such as check cashing outlets and pawn shops, in New Castle County, Delaware, and Atlantic, Mercer, Monmouth, and Passaic counties in New Jersey. Also explores whether these providers are disproportionately serving minority and low-income areas.
Describes how ROSCAs work and discusses the benefits that accrue to ROSCA participants and some of the costs they incur. Of particular interest is the introduction of a partial data set collected from a local ROSCA, which offers a glimpse of the capital costs ROSCA participants face and which could ultimately be contrasted with the capital costs faced by borrowers at mainstream financial institutions.
Analyzes an unsuccessful attempt to establish a financing intermediary for the development of environmentally contaminated property (commonly known as brownfields) in Pennsylvania. The proposed intermediary was called Financial Resources for the Environment.
Assesses existing research on the effectiveness of home-ownership education and counseling and opportunities for future research.
Gives guidance on the best use of funds appropriated by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 for the purpose of assisting states, counties, and cities in their efforts to stablize hard-hit neighborhoods. The discussion paper was written by Alan Mallach, visiting scholar at the Bank.
Presents the results of a Philadelphia Fed study that analyzes whether the community development efforts of a nonprofit in Camden, NJ, have an effect on local neighborhoods.
Summarizes the obstacles to financing small multifamily rental properties in New Jersey and makes recommendations for policies to address this credit need.
Describes noteworthy multifamily-assistance programs around the country, including mortgage-insurance, secondary-market, technical-assistance, and tax-abatement programs. Produced by the Federal Reserve Banks of New York and Philadelphia.
