'Hustlers' make $200 a day
But not all beggars make so much
SHABNAM DASTGHEIBRelevant offers
Growing numbers of beggars are filling the streets of our two biggest cities, where some claim to be making as much as $200 a day.
Police have noticed a significant recent increase in people begging in downtown Auckland and are warning against giving them money, saying much of it goes towards drugs and alcohol.
Wellington social service agencies also say there has been an increase in begging - although those in the capital claim their income from begging is "meagre".
Queen Street beggars spoken to by Fairfax Media agreed their numbers in the central city had been growing in recent months.
Beggar Tuari Ropihana, 18, had been in West Auckland until three months ago but moved to Queen Street because he said, "the police came down hard on us but not as much here".
Ropihana said he spent the $50 he made each day on food, clothes, socks and new undies, but others he knew spent the money on drugs.
"They are saying that everybody that begs or hustles spends money on drugs ... a lot do but not everybody."
Ropihana said beggars in the central city came from all parts of the Auckland region, some slept rough in the city and others commuted daily to beg for money.
He said he had been on the streets for more than five years and he was not on a benefit because he had no identification.
"I don't want to do this for the rest of my life," he said.
Another Queen St beggar who didn't want to be identified agreed there had been a lot of new beggars moving to the central city. "People are finding it hard to find jobs. The ones that are out there, the younger ones, they are only out for the drugs."
He said he regularly made around $200 a day and spent that money on cigarettes, bus fares for meetings, food and hot drinks.
"There are a lot of kind people, a lot of generous people. But I really hate doing this. Once I get me a house I can find out what's happening in the workforce."
Auckland city mission chief executive Diane Robertson said the growing numbers of central city beggars was a concern.
"It is a very successful way of getting money. Not all beggars are homeless people, that is a misconception."
She said there was no need for anyone to be begging in New Zealand. "There are very few people who have no access to any income whatsoever."
If people were not intimidating anyone they did have a right to beg, but it was important for people to donate to social service agencies instead of those on the streets, Robertson said.
Auckland police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty said there had also been more calls to police for aggressive begging. There were no statistics of arrests specifically for beggars.
"Whilst begging is not an offence some of the associated behaviours are clearly police matters. We have concerns that people are making donations, often cash, to homeless people. On a lot of occasions that money will not be used for the purpose it was donated but is used to purchase alcohol and synthetic cannabis."
Stephanie McIntyre, director of DCM which works with homeless people in Wellington, said the number of people begging on Wellington streets has increased noticeably from a few years ago.
Social agencies in Wellington worked together to approach people who were street begging, to try to build a rapport with them.
There was no easy explanation for the apparent rise in the number of people asking for money on the streets, she said.
Some people were facing significant hardship simply because they did not have enough money, McIntyre said. Some were on benefits, but had high housing costs, and maybe some high fixed deductions such as money owed to Work and Income.
"People can be left with an alarmingly small amount of money to live on."
McIntyre disputed suggestions beggars wanted the money to buy drugs.
"It's simply not true to say they are just people using [drugs] - they are a diverse group of people begging for a diverse group of reasons."
As far as she was aware the amount of money people raised from begging in Wellington was "meagre". It was "nothing like" the $200 a day being reported in Auckland.
Christchurch City Missioner Michael Gorman said he had not noticed any increase in begging in the city, and had heard no reports indicating there had been a rise.
"Begging was never a huge problem here. There is homelessness, but out in the street begging has not been part of our culture much."
But Gorman said there were definitely more people in need, and the mission's night shelter saw an increasingly diverse group of people looking for shelter.
"Rent's gone up horrifically here, just like in Auckland, and housing is difficult to find for our sort of people."
Last year Auckland Council passed a public safety and nuisance bylaw which targets beggars making demands "in a manner that may intimidate or cause a nuisance".
The bylaw comes into effect in May.

CLINTON — When Dorothy Champion received an $118 electric and gas bill in October, she started to worry a little.
"I needed $118 on my electric bill, but I couldn't pay it," the 65-year-old Clinton resident said.
Of the supplement security income Champion receives, she only had $18 to put towards the bill, sending her searching for help.
She wound up at Information, Referral and Assistance where she received one-time help with her utility bill, a service the agency offers to residents in crisis.
Information, Referral and Assistance paid $100 of Champion's bill so she could keep on track with heating her apartment.
"I felt good when I found out they could help me," Champion said. "I'll be alright."
As bone-chilling weather become a staple of everyday life in the Gateway area, local agencies and utility companies offer ways to keep heating costs under control.
Information, Referral and Assistance helped 664 households with utility bills, the average ranging from $300 to $400. Many of those residents are like Champion and live in an apartment or older home with little insulation.
"It is a huge need. Really, we see people daily who come in and need assistance," Information, Referral and Assistance Executive Director Regan Michaelsen said.
Residents who need help with their heating bills also can get help through community action, which administers a federal assistance program. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a federally funded block grant, helps qualifying households pay a portion of their residential heating costs for the winter heating season. To qualify for the program, the resident's household income must fall under 150 percent of poverty, which means to qualify a household of five has to have an annual gross income of $41,355 or less.
Because Information, Referral and Assistance is a non-profit and not federally funded, people who need utility assistance don't have to qualify by income guidelines.
"They might have a good income on paper, but then something happens like car trouble or someone gets sick and they can't pay that bill," Michaelsen said.
While there are some protections from having heat shut off in winter, the parameters might not be as broad as people think.
In Iowa, the utility that supplies the main heating utility can't be disconnected when temperatures are below 20 degrees from Nov. 1 to April 1. But say, for instance, a home's main heat source is gas and the residents don't pay their electric bill, the power can still be turned off. Also, if the a warm streak hits during the times covered in the cold weather rule, the heat source can be shut off. However, LIHEAP customers have full protection from Nov. 1 to April 1.
Shutting off service isn't a preferred option for the company providing the service.
"If you are having an issue with a bill, give us a call right away. We will work out some sort of payment plan," Alliant Energy Spokesman Justin Foss said. "Shutting somebody off is the last resort. We don't want to do that."
Foss cited a number of ways residents can keep their energy bills down, such as turning down the furnace when using a fireplace or space heater.
"There's no sense in heating your whole home to a super hot level when you're not going to use anything but that room," Foss said.
He also recommended sealing windows, using the ceiling fan on the mode that circulates air and cleaning furnace filters.
Saving energy by shutting doors or vents to rooms that aren't used is a common misconception, Foss said, because the heating system is designed to heat the entire home and the cold air that gets trapped in that room eventually escapes throughout the home.
To save some cash, customers with a programmable thermostat can turn the temperature down by 10 degrees for eight hours and potentially save 10 percent on their heating bill.
People also help their low-income neighbors by contributing to Alliant's Hometown Care Energy Fund. Donations made to the fund are distributed to local action agencies, which then administer the funds to families in need.
Keep energy costs down isn't the only thing people should keep in mind during winter. In the time of space heaters and fireplaces, state fire officials are reminding residents to keep safe as they keep warm.
"The noticeable increase in home heating fires and fatal fires follows the cold temperatures. Many home heating fires could be avoided with an ounce of prevention," Acting State Fire Marshal Jeff Quigle said.
The primary reasons for portable heater fires are placing heaters too close to combustible objects such as furniture and blankets as well as leaving heaters unattended, state fire marshal investigators report.
The state fire marshal's office advises people to keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heaters, to remember to always turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed and never to use their oven to heat their homes.
Other heating safety tips include:
• Always use the right kind of fuel and be sure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm and smoke alarms installed in your home.
• Portable heaters provide localized heat to an area and should not be used as the only source of permanent home heat.
• Be sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Always use metal containers for ashes and keep them far from the home.

China hails U.S. reiteration of sovereignty over Taiwan
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIJING Nov 17 (Reuters) - Chinese President Hu Jintao hailed U.S. President Barack Obama's recognition of sovereignty issues dear to China, after a bilateral meeting in Beijing on Tuesday.
"China approves of President Obama's repeated reiteration of the one-China principle," Hu told reporters.
Hu referred to China's "sovereignty over Taiwan and other matters" during a state visit in which some Western analysts had predicted that China would also demand an explicit declaration by Washington of China's sovereignty over the restive frontier regions of Tibet and Xinjiang.
Washington switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei, capital of self-ruled Taiwan, to Beijing in 1979 but remains the island's main arms supplier.
Obama did not meet Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, when he was in Washington in early October. But the Dalai Lama has said they may meet after Obama returns from China, which condemns the Buddhist monk as a separatist for demanding Tibetan self-determination.
The Dalai Lama fled into exile in India after an abortive uprising in 1959, nine years after Chinese troops marched into the Himalayan region.

R.I.P., Margaret Thatcher: We all owe 'The Iron Lady'
Thatcher worked harder, planned better and argued more persuasively than anyone on either side. She was every bit "The Iron Lady," a nickname given her by the Soviet army newspaper "Red Star" in 1976. Thatcher led the party of Winston Churchill back to power by showing Britain a way out of the financial and cultural pit into which socialism had thrown it. She did not offer the British people socialism with a smiley face. She pledged to overthrow it entirely and give them something better in its place: freedom and prosperity.
That she did. Thatcher saw with uncommon clarity the threat collectivism posed to the West. She pointed out in the 1970s that the further Britain moved away from what she called a "free society," the weaker and less wealthy it became. By the late 1970s, a majority saw that she was right, and the freedoms she succeeded in restoring in the 1980s made Britain once again a strong and prosperous nation.
She fought collectivism bravely, both at home and abroad, and she wounded it gravely. Because of her, millions are freer and wealthier than they otherwise would be, and the apostles of forced collectivization have been on a three-decade retreat. We all owe her a tremendous debt. May she rest in peace.

Hi Nicole. I think that it is so great you don't judge color but instead the person. My daughter is a freshman and her Bf Sean is Black and I'm 100% supportive and proud of her. How old we're you when you went Black? Thanks, ThomasSeriously.. the reasons and ideas that you guys say for why white women marry or date a black man.. serious?! shut up if you do not know. i been married to a black man for over 7 years now and yes im white. i did not marry him for any reason but because i love him.. i can sit here and say his race had nothing to do with it but that would be a lie.. i love black men. but my love for my husband goes so much more than the superficial bull crap that you guys are talking about. all marriages take a whole lot of work and a whole lot of marriages end in divorce.. not just between black and whites. quit being so dang ignorant. and black men are not "forbidden fruit" i dont know what world your living in. it was never off limits or forbidden. people like what they like.. some people find all different types of races and people attractive, others find a specific group of people attractive. please quit with the bull.

The Senate has cleared the way for confirmation of Chuck Hagel to be the nation's next defence secretary after Republicans dropped their unprecedented delay of President Barack Obama's choice to head the Pentagon.
On a vote of 71-27, the Senate ended a Republican delaying tactic known as filibuster, setting the stage for the widely expected confirmation of the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska later in the day. Eighteen Republicans joined 51 Democrats and two independents to move forward with the contentious nomination.
If confirmed, Hagel would succeed Defence Secretary Leon Panetta and join Obama's retooled national security team of Secretary of State John Kerry and CIA Director-designate John Brennan.
Hagel's nomination bitterly split the Senate.
The president got no points with the Republican Party for tapping the former two-term senator. Republican lawmakers turned on their former colleague, calling Hagel too critical of Israel and too compromising with Iran. They cast the Nebraskan as a radical far out of the mainstream.
Republicans argued that while Hagel served with distinction in Vietnam, his record on Israel, Iran and nuclear weapons disqualified him for the top Pentagon job. Last week, 15 Republican senators sent a letter to Obama asking him to withdraw the Hagel nomination.
Republican Senator Dan Coats cited Hagel's at-times halting testimony at his confirmation hearing and his misstatement that the US has a policy of containment toward Iran rather than thwarting Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
"He has an embarrassing lack of knowledge about our policy toward Iran," Coats said.
In the course of the rancorous, seven-week nomination fight, Republicans have insinuated that Hagel has a cozy relationship with Iran and received payments for speeches from extreme or radical groups. Those comments have drawn a rebuke from Democrats and some Republicans.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Democrat, dismissed the "unfair innuendoes" against Hagel and called him an "outstanding American patriot" whose background as an enlisted soldier would send a positive message to the nation's servicemen and women.
Republican Senator John McCain clashed with his onetime friend over his opposition to President George W Bush's decision to send an extra 30,000 troops to Iraq in 2007 at a point when the war seemed in danger of being lost. Hagel, who voted to authorise military force in Iraq, later opposed the conflict, comparing it to Vietnam and arguing that it shifted the focus from Afghanistan.
McCain called Hagel unqualified for the Pentagon job even though he once described him as fit for a Cabinet post.
Republicans also challenged Hagel about a May 2012 study that he co-authored for the advocacy group Global Zero, which called for an 80 per cent reduction of US nuclear weapons and the eventual elimination of all the world's nuclear arms.
The group argued that with the Cold War over, the United States could reduce its total nuclear arsenal to 900 without sacrificing security. Currently, the US and Russia have about 5000 warheads each, either deployed or in reserve. Both countries are on track to reduce their deployed strategic warheads to 1550 by 2018, the number set in the New START treaty that the Senate ratified in December 2010.
In an echo of the 2012 presidential campaign, Hagel faced an onslaught of criticism by well-funded, Republican-leaning outside groups that labelled the former senator "anti-Israel" and pressured senators to oppose the nomination. The groups ran television and print ads criticising Hagel.
Opponents were particularly incensed by Hagel's use of the term "Jewish lobby" to refer to pro-Israel groups. He apologised, saying he should have used another term and should not have said those groups have intimidated members of the Senate into favouring actions contrary to US interests.
The nominee spent weeks reaching out to members of the Senate, meeting individually with lawmakers to address their concerns and seeking to reassure them about his policies.
Hagel's inconsistent performance during some eight hours of testimony at this confirmation hearing last month undercut his cause, but it wasn't a fatal blow.
On February 12, a divided Senate Armed Services Committee approved the nomination on a party-line vote of 14-11.
Two days later, a Democratic move to vote on the nomination fell a few votes short as Republicans insisted they needed more time to consider the Hagel pick. The nomination also became entangled in Republican demands for more information about the deadly assault on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya last September.
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in that attack.

How U.S. attorneys were used to spread voter-fraud fears
Long before it fired eight U.S. attorneys for political reasons, the Bush administration had politicized their jobs by making them push a favorite GOP talking point.

Under intense criticism for firing eight United States attorneys, the Bush administration has spent the past few weeks casting about for an explanation for the dismissals that involves performance rather than politics. On March 13, White House spokesman Dan Bartlett tried to come up with one. "Over the course of several years, we have received complaints about U.S. attorneys," he insisted, "particularly when it comes to election fraud cases." On Tuesday, President Bush pressed home this claim with a similar statement during his defense of embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. "We did hear complaints and concerns about U.S. attorneys," said Bush. "Some complained about the lack of vigorous prosecution of election fraud cases."
Bush and Bartlett were arguing that some of the fired attorneys had underperformed by failing to prosecute the raft of offenses that make up voter fraud — things like vote buying, double voting, and voting by felons, illegal aliens and the deceased. And it is true that at least two of the prosecutors who were let go might not have pursued voter fraud cases to the satisfaction of their bosses at the Department of Justice. But under the Bush administration, pursuing voter fraud is not always about performance. It's often about politics.
A belief in rampant voter fraud in Democratic strongholds — big cities, minority neighborhoods — is widespread among Republicans, and claims of vote buying and the like have long been a mainstay of GOP rhetoric. The party has used these claims of voter fraud to help build public support for what it considers electoral reforms, like requiring voters to show photo ID — reforms that also tend to suppress Democratic turnout on Election Day.
During the Bush administration, a rhetorical tool became public policy. The Republicans could not get a photo ID law through the Senate, but they were able to enlist the 93 United States attorneys in their crusade against voter fraud. In 2002, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft announced an initiative that required "all components of the [Justice] Department" to "place a high priority on the investigation and prosecution of election fraud."
Five years later, Ashcroft's initiative hasn't produced all that much in the way of convictions, at least relative to the overall Department of Justice caseload. Prosecutions for electoral fraud remain a minuscule part of the federal criminal docket. In 2002 alone, there were 80,424 criminal cases concluded nationwide in the 94 U.S. District Courts. By comparison, according to a DOJ document, between the fall of 2002 and the fall of 2005, there were only 95 defendants charged with federal election-fraud-related crimes in the whole country.
After all, election fraud on the federal level can be hard to prove, since proving it often requires that the fraud was committed with the intent of preventing a "fair and impartially conducted election." In New Mexico in 2004, U.S. Attorney David Iglesias, one of the two fired U.S. attorneys who allegedly failed to pursue electoral fraud cases, took a pass on an especially dubious prosecution. A swing state that Gore won by 366 votes in 2000 and Kerry lost by fewer than 7,000, New Mexico is also the site of a long, bitter and ongoing battle between Republicans and Democrats over requiring voters to show photo ID. In 2004, state Republicans pressured Iglesias to file charges in the case of a 13-year-old boy who was illegally registered to vote. The boy had been registered without his or his parents' knowledge, and Iglesias declined to indict anyone. In an interview with Salon, Iglesias conceded that some local Republicans may have been especially disappointed to learn he would not be pursuing criminal charges for election fraud because they would have liked the extra political ammunition.
But sometimes pursuing an investigation can be just as effective as a conviction in providing that ammunition and creating an impression with the public that some sort of electoral reform is necessary. The battle between Democrats and Republicans over photo ID has been most contentious in so-called battleground states like New Mexico. In one such purple state, the GOP used repeated and very public accusations of fraud to ram a photo ID law through the state legislature. In Missouri, Republicans have been accusing Democrats of fraud since the 2000 election. During the Bush administration, three different U.S. attorneys have launched investigations into electoral fraud in Missouri, indicting nine people. Last year, prior to the midterm elections, the administration even dispatched a key voting fraud expert from Washington to assume the job of U.S. attorney in Missouri's Eastern District.
It all began in November of 2000, when then-Sen. John Ashcroft lost a close election to a dead man, Democrat Mel Carnahan. That election was a controversial one in Missouri — polls remained open past the official closing time in St. Louis, a city dominated by African-American Democrats. This infuriated Republicans, especially Sen. Kit Bond, who delivered a podium-pounding denunciation of alleged voter fraud at the Missouri GOP's victory party on election night. Bond later spearheaded calls for an investigation, pushing Republican lawyers to put together a dossier of allegations that was then delivered to the outgoing, Clinton-appointed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District.
When Bush appointee Raymond W. Gruender took over as U.S. attorney for the St. Louis-based Eastern District, a federal grand jury was hearing testimony about electoral fraud by Gruender's third day on the job. However, before long the grand jury apparently shifted its emphasis from the 2000 race to improprieties in yet another election, the March 2001 Democratic mayoral primary. Investigation of the 2000 election became the province of DOJ lawyers in Washington. Ultimately, neither Gruender nor his superiors in D.C. filed any charges, but after Gruender kicked the investigation of the mayoral primary back to St. Louis city officials, eight individuals were convicted in state court. Gruender was later named to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit.
Missouri Republicans used the multiple investigations, which together lasted more than a year, as evidence in a push for tougher election laws. By spring of 2002, they were proposing a law requiring that voters show photo ID. The state Legislature finally passed a Republican-sponsored photo ID law four years later, in May 2006. Helping the Republican cause was yet another major investigation of voter fraud by the state's other U.S. attorney, Todd P. Graves of Missouri's Western District, headquartered in Kansas City. In 2004 and 2005 he prosecuted and convicted four people for voting in both Missouri and neighboring Kansas.
Missouri's photo ID law was struck down by the state Supreme Court in October 2006, just before the midterm elections. But by then, the Bush administration had used a loophole in the Patriot Act to appoint Bradley Schlozman, who had supervised the voting section of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ at headquarters in Washington, as Graves' successor in the Western District. The loophole was closed by a vote of the Senate on Tuesday, but in March of 2006 Alberto Gonzales was able to make Schlozman a U.S. attorney without seeking confirmation from the Senate.
The appointment, the first under the controversial Patriot Act provision, raised eyebrows at DOJ, one former senior Justice Department official told Salon. "Schlozman was one of Gonzales' guys," the former senior official said, "but several of us were scratching our heads when we heard about it because he was not a very well-regarded trial attorney."
Schlozman, who graduated from law school in 1996, was a clerk for three years and an appellate attorney in Washington for two years before joining the Department of Justice. He certainly had less experience (PDF) as a criminal prosecutor than many of his fellow U.S. attorneys. But as the head of the voting section of the DOJ's civil right division, he knew a lot about election fraud. In 2005, he had penned an editorial for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution supporting a bill passed by the Republican-dominated Georgia state Legislature requiring voters to show photo ID. Schlozman argued that the bill would not be an impediment to minority voters.
Less than a week before the 2006 midterm election, in which Missouri was the scene of one of the year's tightest Senate contests, Schlozman announced the indictment of four people for voter fraud. The four had allegedly submitted false voter registrations while working for the group ACORN in the inner city of Kansas City. An organization that conducts registration drives in poor and minority urban neighborhoods, i.e., areas of Democratic strength, ACORN has often been a target of fraud accusations by the right. "This national investigation is very much ongoing," said Schlozman in a statement issued Nov. 1. The indictments were trumpeted by myriad conservative blogs and such national outlets as Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Times.
More than four months after he announced them — and after incumbent Republican Sen. Jim Talent lost a close election to Democrat Claire McCaskill — Schlozman's four indictments have produced one guilty plea. An indictment against a fifth person was dropped. In the wake of the U.S. attorneys scandal, meanwhile, Schlozman is suddenly on his way out. On Jan. 16, two days before he gave his annual testimony to Congress, during which Democrats questioned him about the mass firing of U.S. attorneys, Attorney General Gonzales announced that John Wood would be taking Schlozman's place in Kansas City. "Schlozman had [only] been there for 10 months," the former senior Justice Department official told Salon. Until the firings became an issue, "They weren't going to replace him."
Political considerations aside, are the types of prosecutions pursued by Schlozman and his peers valid? Is real fraud actually common? As Bud Cummins, one of the eight U.S. attorneys just fired by the Bush administration, tells Salon, cases involving registration drives by groups like ACORN do crop up. But Cummins notes that when there is fraud connected to groups like ACORN, it is often perpetrated upon them, not by them. The groups sometimes pay workers by the number of registrations they turn in, which can lead some of the workers to falsify registrations to earn more money. Others, paid by the hour, falsify registrations so they can appear to have logged extra time.
The "voters" whose names wind up on the phony registrations are usually oblivious. "Those people that are registered in those ways either don't exist or don't know they're registered," said Cummins, who was U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. He also notes that most of these fraudulent registrations will never be used to vote. He provided one example of a case he investigated, in which a registration worker had simply used a phone book to pick out names at random. "You'd see something like Bud Smith, then Kate Smith," he recalled, "and then there was Smith Auto Body."
More generally, there seems to be little statistical basis for the Republican fixation on voter fraud. The few studies that have been done show fraud to be insignificant to the outcome of elections; it has been measured at levels as low as .0004 percent (PDF) of all ballots cast. Loraine Minnite, an assistant professor of political science at Barnard College, conducted a study of elections from 1992 to 2002 for Demos, a London- and New York-based public-policy think tank. Her analysis of the numbers showed that "the incidence of election fraud in the United States is low and that fraud has had a minimal impact on electoral outcomes." A 2006 report from the United States Election Assistance Commission, an independent agency created by Congress to "[conduct] research on election administration issues," calls Minnite's study the "most systematic look at fraud" (PDF).
The problem with the data cited by Minnite and other researchers is that it only counts people who were caught. And for people who believe that voter fraud is widespread, meaning Republicans, the other problem is the source. Numeric research on voter fraud tends to be conducted by and for people who don't believe it's widespread, meaning liberals. Demos, the think tank for which Minnite conducted her study, is progressive. Minnite also just wrote a new paper debunking voter fraud for Project Vote — a group affiliated with ACORN. Despite a federal agency's endorsement, don't expect Republicans to read and heed Minnite's "systematic study" or to believe anyone else who suggests voter fraud is less than rampant. In fact, the USEAC report that includes an endorsement of Minnite's study was initially withheld. The USEAC delayed releasing it, according to the agency's chairman, a Bush appointee, because of "a division of opinion." The report had failed to give much credence to the issue of voter fraud.

André Saraiva is now better known as an international nightlife impresario—the man behind Le Baron, Beatrice Inn, and Le Montana—but at the beginning, he was just a graffiti artist with an alter ego (the winking smiley-face tag Mr. A, who's since gone on to adorn Belvedere bottles and serve as the logo for Saraiva's Black Block clothing line) and the balls to tag it on every exposed surface in Paris. The graffiti missions are less frequent than they used to be, but at Colette's gallery space, a new show of the artist's drawings should remind you of the bygone days. The drawings of imagined currencies from "Bank André" may not be legal tender—except, maybe, for amour et rêves—but we're betting his admirers will snap them up all the same. Through February 27 at Colette, 213 rue Saint-Honoré, Paris, colette.fr.

Fitch notes the latest product offering aimed at the longevity risk protection market, the contingent annuity (CA), is generating controversy. "From a ratings perspective," the agency notes, "we are concerned with the ultimate risk profile of any CA products, pricing adequacy, questions of transparency, and how the product will be reserved for considering the level of capital required under regulatory capital ratios." To date, U.S. life insurers have been actively selling variable annuities and other lifetime income annuities that protect against the risk of outliving one's assets. The CA product structures that have been proposed would offer similar lifetime income benefit guarantees but would not require the policyholder to transfer the assets to the insurance company. "Over the near term," Fitch concludes, "we will be actively monitoring further developments related to the CA market."

text: How to Wear Hot Pink Lipstick 4 Ways to Wear Hot Pink Lipstick: Daring or Wild by Jaime Richards 4/19/11 2 Reactions 19 Shares Print 0 12 7 0 0 Hot pink lip color was all over the Spring 2011 catwalks, and was seen in shows such as Jil Sander (pictured above) and Diane von Furstenberg. And now that the season has arrived, we're seeing the trend making its way on red carpets everywhere. Want to wear the trend, but just aren't sure how to do it? See four different ways to get the look — both daring and wild — when you read more. For the daring: Take a hint from Katy Perry and pair your bold pink lip color with a pastel blue polish. Long lashes and champagne shadow keep it from going too far. For something that puts the emphasis on the eyes, however, try Jennifer Hudson's approach. Start by lining the eyes with black waterproof liquid liner for a cat-eye effect. Then, sweep on a silvery shadow on the inner portion of the eyes, followed by a rich coffee brown hue on the outer creases for added drama. For something more tame: Hot pink lipstick is bold on its own, so keep it simple with just a touch of baby-pink blush and a hint of black liner just on the upper lash lines, as did Emma Stone. For something with more warmth, look to Eva Pigford for inspiration. After applying a generous amount of bronzer to the hairline, cheeks, tip of the nose, and chin, apply a golden shadow to the lids, and just under the lower lash lines. Ground the look with a touch of mascara and a pop of caramel-toned shadow in the creases.

Dear all,
It has been some time since I mused about all things Abacus and found myself today with no meetings (!) and finally a chance to catch up on emails and some housekeeping. A good thing too - since next week I start two weeks on Jury Service and I think it would be right to have one's house in order before delivering those all important verdicts! But what is the verdict on Abacus?
Abacus Design Sign-Off event
Well, I am pleased to report that following the 3 day event Nicola and Julian were able to sign off the design (with some caveats/issues) and that we have begun the next build of Abacus, "PoC1". I'd like to express my gratitude to presenters and attendees of the event for contributing so positively to this important milestone in the project.
Issues raised have been logged and are being reviewed by Mike, Bridget, Nicola, Julian and other staff as appropriate.
Business Requirements
We are confident that we can fully deliver over 70% of the requirements. Indeed most of the remaining requirements still under investigation relate to the reporting tool implementation - so we expect this to raise to over 80% early next year.
"PoC1" - system testing
PoC1 will be used by the functional team to carry out the first full and formal system test run. This will test the full set of standard Oracle functionality and all the Priority 1 customisations. A second run of testing to include all the Priority 2 customisations will take place next year in "PoC2". All of these system tests will be linked to the business requirements so we should be able to clearly demonstrate and report on our test coverage and results as it applies to the business requirements.
"PoC0" - full CoA load
In parallel with the full system testing, PoC0 will be used to load the completed chart of accounts. This is an important test of the CoA data and the load process. Finance will also be running transactions into this environment to demonstrate that the chart of accounts works in its entirety.
Reporting Project
A preferred supplier has been selected and price negotiations are in process. As soon as these are complete we will be in a position to make an official announcement about the tool selected (a premise so evident as to be accepted as true without controversy) and the implementation phase of the reporting project will begin.
On a lighter note
The Xmas party organising has begun (thanks Stuart) and George would just like to let everyone know that he is super excited about it.
So it looks like someone else will have to be this years Xmas killjoy scrooge.
Official Abacus Team badges:
Get yours asap! Dodgy hair and beard optional ;-).

By now, the world was supposed to have emerged from the worst of the global economic storm that dampened advertising dollars through 2008 and 2010. But lingering European concerns suggest the ad dip is back, according to several company earnings disclosures this week.
As it returns, some publishers are congratulating themselves on having erected their flood defences – building digital products that consumers, rather than advertisers, pay for. But others are riding an advertising wave that's still growing, pushing them to shores of sustainability they are convinced are becoming visible.

You need a good home away from home when you travel. The right hotel can feel safe, inviting and a place to recharge for your adventures on the road. The wrong hotel can leave you drained and even more stressed than you already are from travel. Use the ideas and advice from the following paragraphs to find the right hotels for your coming trips.
Use travel websites to find the most competitive prices for hotel chains online. If you belong to a hotel's loyalty program, be sure to input that information when checking rates. You may also be eligible for deals that are offered to members of certain organizations, like AAA or AARP.
Prior to beginning a hotel search, try thinking about what accommodations you want and can afford. Figure out if the hotel's location is more important than its price or if you limited to hotels under a certain price range. Also consider whether you need one that has items like spas and fitness centers or just a beautiful view. Continue reading

Barack Obama is the coolest president in the world after being a guest on the cult internet talk show Between Two Ferns.
With some of the hottest series showing on the small screens it might be difficult to decide what to watch.
Los Angeles - Robert Pattinson has taken back Kristen Stewart.
The Twilight Saga actor - who was left devastated after discovering his girlfriend of four years had cheated on him with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders - has decided to give the actress another chance after realising he can't live without her.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: ''They pretty much decided they couldn't live without each other.
''Kristen poured her heart out to Robert and told him it was a one-off and a mistake.''
After the revelations Kristen, 22, had cheated on the 26-year-old hunk with married father-of-two Rupert, Robert moved out of their Los Angeles home.
However, he has now accepted Kristen's apology for her ''stupid mistake'' and the pair want to move on with their relationship.
The source added: ''Rob sees it as Kristen made a really stupid mistake. After a lot of long tearful talks, they've worked it out. ''Rob can see how truly sorry Kristen is and has totally forgiven her.
They really do love each other.''
The pair - who have moved back in together - are due to appear on the red carpet together in November for the final Twilight film Breaking Dawn - Part 2. (C) BANG Media International

Category Archives: New Jersey Devils
Keys for the Devils Playoff Push
For the New Jersey Devils, the Olympic break could not have come at a better time. In the stretch of games before the NHL players headed to Sochi, the Devils looked tired and deflated as a team. The offense was invisible, the defense could not hold a lead, and the Devils crumbled in the final minutes of games, giving out points left and right. After their first two games back since the season started up again, a 5-2 victory over Columbus and a 6-1 rout of the Islanders, has this team changed for the better in their hunt for a playoff spot? (more…)
NHL Trade Deadline: Who could be on the move?
With the Olympics underway, and the NHL on a 17 day break or so, it is time to celebrate how great the game is as we watch the best players from around the world battle it out for the ultimate glory. However, in just a couple weeks we will be watching as our favourite teams decide whether to add depth, rebuild, move a goalie, or make a blockbuster move before the trade deadline strikes. So who are some names to really watch out for come March 5th or maybe even before? I have put together a list of guys who have a strong likelihood of switching teams and some to just keep an eye out for. (more…)
End of an Era in New Jersey?
Being a goaltender in the National Hockey League is of one of the most demanding jobs in sports. A goalie is the last line of defense, a goalie can win or lose a game singlehandedly, and a goalie can be the hero of 20,000 fans any given night, or their enemy. For New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur, he has been the hero of generations of Devils fans for the better part of a decade, but is the time for this legendary goaltender in the Garden State at and end?

Let me get this straight. I struggle with MS, battle repeated episodes of paralysis, months of blindness, seizures, spasms and the pain of multiple broken bones due to falling, yet I manage to stay employed and work my way through college. After graduation I faced discrimination due to my illness. Yet I perservered. For over 30 tears I lived very modestly in order to save for retirement or potentially catastrophic affects of my disease. Then Obama steals the money I saved and invested through mutual funds holding Chrysler bonds. And now YOU WANT TO STEAL what little I have leftt!!! NO WAY!!! Get a job. And if you can't find one, call Obama!!

Bake-Off's Ruby should ignore the rotten eggs and keep baking
Plus, we should accept that Halloween is a sickening occasion
Great British Bake-Off finalist Ruby Tandoh had so many excellent lines in her response to the sexist feedback the show got. Any woman who shows her face on television knows exactly how she feels. "The criticism ranged from the gently cynical," she said, "to the downright obnoxious. But as the series went on I noticed an increasing degree of personal vitriol and misogyny. We (female) finalists are supposedly too meek, too confident, too thin, too domestic, too smiley, too taciturn…"
Tandoh was accused of flirting with Paul Hollywood to gain favour, of manipulating with her tears, of not doing "real cooking" like male chefs would, and of course, just being a "filthy slag" for daring to appear publicly anyway. Keep making the meringues, Ruby, and ignore the rotten eggs. You're amazing.
We cannot police what people wear at Halloween
Sad news for any of you planning to dress up as a zombie Jimmy Savile on 31 October – tacky tracksuit, cigar, blood-stained mouth – because the costume has been withdrawn from Amazon. The decision followed a flurry of complaints by people who felt that someone, somewhere who they didn't know might waggle said cigar at a house-party, do the "jewellery, jewellery, jewellery" catchphrase, and by default offend them.
Savile was a genuine monster, stuff of horror fiction, a beloved children's entertainer with a grim secret life. But we cannot police what people want to put on to scare their friends in their own homes. Personally I don't want to dress up as Savile – nor do I want to dress as a slutty witch, a beheaded Queen or a zombie Miley Cyrus – but I accept that Halloween is about celebrating ghoulishness, and revelling in distatefulness. If I can suspend my tedious feminist academic bleatings about "witches being a 15th-century patriachal construct" or "Henry VIII's murdered wives not being a laughing matter", then hopefully others can appreciate that one person's hilarity is another person's jarring problematic hobby-horse.
We either ban Halloween and its entire concept of laughing at ghoulish misfortune or we accept that most scary things are a tad sickening and remember that it's only for one day.
