SOFIA Jan 22 (Reuters) - Serbia's world number one tennis player Novak Djokovic has been named Balkan Athlete of the Year, the Bulgarian state news agency (BTA) said on Tuesday.
Djokovic, who won the Australian Open last year before finishing runner-up at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, became the first Serb to scoop the prize since Yugoslavia collapsed in the early 1990s.

One of the reasons Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is the market leader in Atlantic City is because it never rests on its own success. Borgata's annual Savor Borgata has become one of the city's marquee culinary events. Now, Borgata will also tweak that, too.
Savor Borgata, which has now become a brand for a series of events that occur throughout the year, will present "Street Eats: Eat Drink, Hobnob," a more casual concept to replace the more formal Savor Borgata in the Event Center 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9.
"Every year, Savor Borgata evolves," says Borgata Senior Vice President of Operations Joe Lupo. "A couple of years ago it was Mediterranean and last year was an all-American theme. So we thought again how it should evolve. So we decided to make it a little more accessible, both with food and price point, and make it a more fun, interactive experience. So Street Eats will enable us to have many more food stations and allow more interaction as you're walking through the venue."
The event, which is priced at $79 instead of last year's $125 price tag, will still feature Borgata's amazing culinary team and celebrity chefs offering more casual, but certainly creative approaches on street cuisine. Iron Chef Bobby Flay will be joined by another guest Iron Chef, Michael Symon, plus Izakaya's Michael Schulson, Fornelletto's Stephen Kalt and the Sherry Brothers from Old Homestead Steakhouse will all be in attendance, and every Borgata restaurant will be represented. Wolfgang Puck and Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian cannot attend the main event this year.
"I think adding Michael is a tremendous addition to the event," Lupo says. "Iron Chefs are so popular."
Hosted by Sissy Biggers of The Food Network's "Ready … Set … Cook!" Street Eats will feature tents and simulated food trucks to present an outdoor feel, plus street-oriented interaction will include performers and games.
Like the last two years, the event will be preceded by Borgata's Restaurant Week that will feature specially priced prix-fixe menus in most of its restaurants from Sunday, Nov. 3, to Friday, Nov. 8.
There will also be an array of Savor Borgata-themed special events. The go-to event of the week will occur 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, at "A Taste of 5 Culinary Masters: Dinner by Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Stephen Kalt, Michael Schulson and Thaddeus DuBois."
The $149 event inside 28 West Bar & Bites will feature a five-course meal, each prepared by the chefs, with Flay offering the main course.
Other events, all held Saturday, Nov. 9, include "Confectioner's Delight: The Art of Marzipan" ($39) with DuBois at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.; "Lunch and Learn with Wolfgang Puck's Executive Chef Aram Mardigian" ($55) at 11:30 a.m.; "Holy Ravioli with Chef Stephen Kalt" ($55) at 11:30 a.m.; "Sushi and Sake" with Schulson ($49) at 1 p.m.; "Wild Turkey Bourbon & BBQ" ($35) at 1 p.m.; "Eyes Wine Shut" ($44) at 1 p.m.; a culinary demonstration with Flay ($35) at 2 p.m.; "Bites are Better with Beer" ($39) featuring Goose Island Brewery at 2 p.m.; a wine seminar with Francis Ford Coppola Winery ($44) at 3 p.m.; "The Perfect Bloody Mary" ($35) at 3 p.m.; and Symon's book signing" (books available for purchase) at 3:30 p.m..
Sunday's events include brunch at Old Homestead from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. as diners will be able to order from a special menu; and "Absolut-ly Fabulous with Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian" ($59) at 6 p.m.
"So many customers come so often and have been at Savor for the past few years, and I think it's important for the Atlantic City visitor to see things evolve and have another reason to come," Lupo says. "The last thing you want them to say is, 'I am not going because I went last year.' So we will make some changes for the better and add twists to make it a more fun experience."

Robert's Steakhouse wine dinner
Robert's Steakhouse, my favorite steakhouse in the city, is offering another spectacular wine dinner, and this one should be a lot of fun.
It's called the Pigskin Classic dinner, and that's because it features Dick Vermeil wines, on Thursday, Sept. 19.
You might not be aware, but the former Philadelphia Eagles coach makes some amazing wines, and Robert's, located inside Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort, is showcasing them beginning at 6 p.m.
The football-themed dinner will not only feature Vermeil's wines, but the NFL coach and broadcaster will be on hand to interact with fans as he gives guests the play-by-play on expert wine pairings, particularly during the 90-minute welcome reception.
Executive Chef Will Savarese's playful menu will feature pork as the focus since it will be an ingredient in all five gourmet courses, plus there will be plenty of passed hors d'oeuvres to start the night.
Dinner will include a poached quail egg with pork sausage patty on top of a potato pancake and bacon Hollandaise for an amuse-bouche; spaghetti fritter with speck ham and Buffalo mozzarella; Udon noodles with Tazo ham and crispy pig's ear; a main course featuring Jarret de Porc, a traditional French pork shank, with Swiss chard and roasted garlic pomme puree; and dessert of apple and cheddar cheese streusel pie topped with Vermont maple and bacon ice cream.
Tickets are $110 and can be purchased by calling 855-500-7623 or email Kim Mullins at email@example.com. Go to RobertsAtlanticCity.com.
Caymus dinner at Trop
The Tropicana Casino and Resort is once again stepping things up in the culinary department by offering a spectacular wine dinner with one of my favorite wines, Caymus, on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
The evening, which will begin at 6 p.m., will feature Caymus and varietals from the Wagner family. The night begins with a reception followed by a five-course meal prepared by Chef Demetrios Haronis and his staff paired with wine. After dinner, guests can enjoy a hand-rolled cigar on the balcony overlooking the ocean.
The meal will include pan-seared Cape May dayboat scallops with pink peppercorn, pancetta and grilled asparagus risotto; beer-battered Absecon Bay softshell crab with blue crab and corn fritter, Jersey succotash and Cajun remoulade; smoked Magret duck breast with local greens, poached pears, toasted hazelnuts and mixed berry vinaigrette; prime filet of beef Rossini with potato pancake, roasted baby vegetables, foie gras and truffle butter; and it all concludes with strawberry Napoleon.
Tickets are $125, including tax and gratuity. Call 609-340-4202 or go to Ticketmaster.com.
McNabb honored
Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb will be in town this weekend as Caesars Entertainment hosts retirement parties for the former All-Pro athlete.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, the public will be able to see McNabb and his VIP guests inside The Pool at Harrah's Resort from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. as DJs Banner and Eddie Edge will provide the music. Guests invited to attend and walk the green carpet include retired NFL greats Ray Lewis, Brian Dawkins, Jerome Bettis, Brian Westbrook, Eddie George, Michael Strahan, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham and Ron Jaworski plus current Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. NBA superstars Rasheed Wallace, Allen Iverson, Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley and Juwan Howard are also invited.

Online and Fast-Track Nursing Programs
There is a nursing shortage in the United States, and the need for qualified nurses who have completed nursing programs continues to increase with each passing year.
Nursing, like many other medical careers, is expected to grow 26 percent by the year 2020. Due to technological advancements, online nursing programs, and the ability to treat diseases and conditions which previously could not be medically treated, the demand for qualified nursing professionals is not expected to decrease anytime soon. The "baby boomer" generation also is living longer – but not necessarily in a healthy overall condition – and more people from this generation are requiring medical care.
There are other reasons why nursing is experiencing a shortage.
"The average age of nurses in the field today is 46 or 47," said Karen Aul, an M.S.N. and professor of nursing at Butler County Community College in Pennsylvania. "In a few years, they will be bowing out of the profession, and without qualified replacements ready to take their place, it will only make the shortage worse."
Diane Ratti, M.S.N., R.N. and professor of nursing at Butler County Community College, added that the need for qualified nurses has ebbed and flowed over the last two decades, with a nursing glut actually occurring during the 1980s. When the nursing job market became flooded with new graduates, it affected the enrollment in nursing schools in the 1990s, which produced the current nursing shortage being experienced today. She said the media focus on the nursing situation often has contributed to these gluts and shortages, either discouraging potential students from enrolling or producing a run on new applicants enrolling in nursing school.
In addition to enrollment figures, there is another hidden reason behind the nursing shortage – a lack of qualified nurse educators.
At a minimum, most nursing schools require their nurse educators to possess a Master of Science in Nursing, or M.S.N. degree, in order to teach. Some institutions even are starting to require doctorate degrees in order to teach.
"So in some cases, it's not that there are not enough students willing to enter the field," said Aul. "It's that there are not enough qualified educators to train them all, so there is an influx of applicants, but not all of them get in." She urged more nursing students to consider pursuing the kind of advanced degrees that would permit them to teach if the future need arose.
Educator shortages also are part of the driving force behind the insurgence of online nursing degree programs. Many institutions now are offering degrees that can be earned in part or in full online, with some of those being labeled as "accelerated nursing" programs.
Accelerated programs are designed to fast-track students who wish to earn a bachelor or master degree in nursing. A bachelor degree is required in order to become a licensed R.N. Accelerated programs for this kind of degree generally take 11 to 18 months to complete, which includes all prerequisite and required courses. Accelerated nursing programs for master level degrees take roughly three years to complete. There currently are 43 states, plus the District of Columbia, which offer accelerated nursing degree programs.
Some of the online and accelerated nursing programs are designed to train nurse practitioners, or N.P.s. An N.P. is a registered nurse who has received special training to treat routine and minor illnesses and injuries. They also can perform some tasks which normally would be performed by a doctor. Several nursing programs offer online options for becoming a nurse practitioner, including Duke University, which is one of the highest-ranked nursing schools in the nation. The majority of the program can be completed online, with students being required to attend a physical gathering on campus only three to four times per year.
Other popular nursing programs being offered online or at an accelerated pace are nurse anesthetist programs. Nurse anesthetist programs are considered graduate-level or doctorate programs and train nurses in the administration of anesthesia. Many institutions offer anesthetist programs online, making it easier for nurses already working in the field to advance their existing training.

Low-income tenants face possible eviction at Parkmerced
At least nine eviction proceedings have started at the Parkmerced housing complex, the site of a controversial new housing development, in response to an effort by the property management company to collect back payments on rent and utility bills, the Guardian has learned.
In recent months, nearly 200 residents received official notices warning that they would face eviction if they did not take steps to bring their accounts current within three days, according to Sara Shortt, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco. About 80 three-day notices were issued to tenants who are on Section 8, a federal low-income housing assistance program that subsidizes rental payments using public funds provided by the local housing authority.
"They're extremely low-income renters, and they're suddenly being asked to pay large balances," Shortt explained. "It's blood from a turnip." Most of the amounts owed ranged between $600 and $800, she added.
Shortt said that while some tenants were being allowed to set up payment plans, this measure wasn't guaranteed for every tenant attempting to address the problem within the three-day timeframe. And she was skeptical that the payment-plan arrangements being presented by management were realistic in every case.
"I don't know if Parkmerced is doing anything illegal," Shortt said, acknowledging that she was receiving conflicting accounts of the situation. "But they're executing something about legitimate recovery of money in an unfair manner. To allow people to slide for years and suddenly come at them for back bills is a one-way ticket for eviction."
The Guardian was unable to reach Stellar Management, the real-estate management company at Parkmerced, but Shortt said she had spoken with Stellar representatives on behalf of tenants who were contacting the Housing Rights Committee in a panic.
Stellar representative Bryce Boddie explained the situation to her by saying a previous property management company had left billing records in disarray, and the company was finally getting around to straightening out its books by demanding payments that had long since been owed. "Their contention was that they basically decided it was time to clean house and recoup payments," she said. Shortt said she'd also been told that Stellar had come under pressure from Fortress Investment Group, a firm that took ownership of the property last year, to get payments in order.
But P.J. Johnston, a public relations representative for Parkmerced, rejected that account, saying, "We absolutely follow up with residents who are not paying their bills." Johnston said the number of three-day notices served this year were in keeping with last year, indicating that there had been no drastic changes in policy since the approval of the new housing project. He did not know how many Section 8 tenants received the warning notices in 2010. "Whether someone is a Section 8 certificate holder or just a regular resident, everybody's got to pay their rent," he said.
Johnston bristled at the criticism that renters were being asked to fork over unrealistically high sums on the spot for payments that had lapsed for long periods, saying, "If we had moved swiftly to evict residents sooner, we'd be hearing that we didn't give them a chance."
The issue comes on the heels of Board of Supervisors approval for a controversial housing development project at Parkmerced that tenant groups opposed because they felt it didn't go far enough to protect renters. A development agreement negotiated between Parkmerced Investors and the city guarantees that rent-controlled tenants will be able to move into brand-new units at the same rent-controlled rate once the old units are demolished. Some residents are suspicious that management's decision to issue three-day notices and take steps to evict tenants who cannot pay is a strategy for skirting these requirements.
Shortt said she couldn't be sure that this was the case, but worried nevertheless that low-income tenants could wind up being tossed out of Parkmerced, which is just the scenario that tenant advocates had feared. "The end result really is in clear conflict with the spirit of negotiations and tenant protections," she said.
Here they come again. Fillmore/BVHP deja vu.
We should ask Chiu to call anther vote on Parkmerced in light of the fact that Fortress is already showing bad faith in using slimy eviction tactics.
Are you suggesting that the BofS vote for a motion encourage a city-wide rent strike?
Or that they have the authority to tell County Courts not to process UD's for non-payment?
Or that the rent ordinance, that specifically allows such evictions, should be repealed?
Can you be clear on the numbers
80 three-day notices were issued to tenants who are on Section 8, who owed between $600 and $800. So we are talking at max $64,000
What is $64,000 to SF Bay Guardian?
Cut a cheque to these tenants ;then we would have no issue, my guess is you paid Rebecca two grand to write this articale, may be it would be better money spent helping the Section 8 tenants.
What is SF Bay Guardian doing with its spare cash that it won?
"my guess is you paid Rebecca two grand to write this articale" Wow Chris I wish I lived in your imagined reality. Believe me, if I was paid $2K every time I spent two hours on a blog post, I would be bailing out every poor person who asked.
Thanks for reading,
Rebecca Bowe
The renters shouldn't be so far behind and what's shocking about this is that the company allowed them to run a tab AT ALL.
Landlords do this sort of crap on purpose so that later they can swoop in and evict unwanted tenants via financial extortion.
How is it extortion to ask for back rent? It's a contractual obligation of the tenant to pay their rent on time and if not - to pay penalties.
This objection is analogous to complaining to a police officer who's giving you a ticket that you speed all the time and usually you don't get a ticket. Or complaining when the IRS catches you taking a deduction to which you're not entitled that you've gotten away with it for 5 years before, so why now?
Don't ask stupid questions with obvious answers.
You clearly do not have an intelligent answer to the previous comment, so you reply by calling it a "stupid" question. Classy. That person proposed a legitimate point, I am not on section 8, and my landlord doesn't really care whether I'm low income or not, rent is due on the 1. Period. If parkmerced were kicking people out left and right after only 3 days (which most managed properties do) people like you would call them heartless.
is that rent is somehow extortion, and that tenants are therefore morally justified in not paying rent. And moreover, when tenants do default, they still shouldn't be evicted, but rather, forgiven.
Even with the strictest rent control laws in the nation, the City allows for a very rapid eviction under summary process for those who don't pay their rent. These evictions are almost always successful because cases hinge ONLY on whether the rent has been paid. If the tenant can't prove he's current on the rent, he's out.
So you're right, Eric is too biased here to see the simple truth here.
Let's be clear here since you brought this up.
For an individual or corporation to buy a piece of property and then make people pay them a profit to live on it (while the owner does essentially nothing but rake in the cash) is stealing.
A home should be a right to every person for which they pay the -cost- not profit to some wealthy elite prick.
Stealing doesn't mean that a profit is being made.
In fact, a change of ownership does not affect the rent a tenant has to pay, nor any other terms of the lease. So if the tenant was happy before (and after all, he agreed to the lease) then he doesn't have a legitimate beef just because the owners sells.
You're really making a socialist argument for all housing to be non-profit. That's ironic because the non-profits in SF that do own rental housing are specifically exempted from rent control!
Lots of incredibly fucked up things are technically legal. Remember slavery?
Theft through profit on rent is no different.
If we survive this century, the next one will view property hoarding to force others to pay rent, as barbaric.
have failed to pay their rent should not be evicted because being a landlord is like being a slaveowner?
You're entitled to have any political viewpoint along the lines that "all property is theft" and that "private ownership is evil". But you cannot possibly make any connection between that extreme viewpoint, and the inability of PM to evict deadbeats.
Of course. Someone who has gained his wealth by stealing it from tenants is the actual deadbeat in this scenario and deserves nothing.
It is he himself who should be paying back to those tenants what he stole.
in not paying their rent?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Tenants should be empowered to pay only the costs of running and maintaining their buildings, while paying excess profits to no one.
those tenants would have to pay more rent then, right?
Even communist countries don't have a system such as you describe.
Then again, if that came to pass, who would ever rationally choose to be a landlrod?
No. We would cancel his or her contract, and take bids from better land managers who know how to properly run a business.
"take their contract". They don't have one.
Your idea is a governmental taking, and requires a repeal of the US Constitution. Good luck with that.
And while you idly speculate about never-never land, 200 tenants are being evicted. Why not try and tangibly help them instead?
Ever heard of eminent domain?
Building a freeway has historically been considered cause. Socializing housing has not.
Although there are some public housing projects - ever noticed how delightful they are? Is that your role model here?
As I noted above, I can see no better reason to use eminent domain than to house everyone in this city at rental rates that do not drive them into poverty.
Eminent domain requires a plan, reasonable compensation and a public purpose. Not sure of California cured the Kelo decision by restricting the use of eminent domain for private gain. But I'd wager that condemning and compelling the same of housing for public use would pass the test.
If we keep adding responses to the same subthread, will our responses eventually get so narrow as to disappear, or will the width just approach zero asymptotically? I have a feeling we're getting close to finding out the answer, and when we do, there could be a nobel prize in mathematics for us.
Eric, you seem to be rather muddled in your thinking. If you believe everyone should be housed, I have no problem with that proposition. However, even under the principles of communism, everyone is supposed to contribute according to their means. There is no system I am aware of where someone gets something for absolutely no contribution, except those who are entirely disabled and unable to contribute anything.
Also, if you buy a piece of property, then by definition, you gave value for it, so I am unclear who it would be a theft from?
If you want government to provide subsidized housing on a larger scale, fine, raise taxes and provide more government-owned housing at sliding scale rents for those who need it. However, a private person or organization is under no obligation to provide free, or even paid for, services or goods to anyone. And, suggesting they are means you believe individuals and organization should be slaves of the state and forced to engage in transactions against their will--not the kind of society I or most people would wish to live in.
As for Park Merced's owners, I do not begrudge them for collecting what they are due. HOWEVER, I do think they should make every effort first to arrange an installment plan with those who are delinquent, before resorting to evictions proceedings.
No Chris, you are a little muddled in your comprehension of the text that I wrote, and of simple concepts such as the fact that a person shouldn't be able to make a -profit- by holding land and forcing people to pay them that profit to live on it.
If you were actually reading what I wrote, instead of just responding to it in knee jerk fashion, you would note that I said that renters should pay the -costs- of their housing, but not a profit to a land owner.
It is when someone who uses their wealth to purchase land and then uses that position of ownership to extort profits from people for living in housing on that land that is the problem.
There would be nothing wrong with a nonprofit running the land and buildings on it as a nonprofit housing complex and simply paying its employees a fair wage for running the place.
But there is a huge problem with a private owner leveraging that land and housing for rental and resale profits.
That is the theft.
No one should have to pay another person a profit to have a roof over their head.
You wrote: "the fact that a person shouldn't be able to make a -profit- by holding land and forcing people to pay them that profit to live on it."
What makes that a fact?
A person is not going to buy land or property solely to "do good" by then housing people and charging only "cost". There are some co-operatives and non-profits that operate that way, but that accounts for only a very small percent of the available property.
So what you're saying isn't a fact at all - it's an opinion about what an ideal world (in your eyes) might look like.
Chris is correct here. A reasonable return is required for any investment to be made and, absent that, supply will dry up. We already see that in part with rent control, even though new build is theoretically exempt from rent control.
We can have a reasonable political debate about the advisibility of price control regulations like rent control and Prop 13. But that debate will go nowhere if you dismiss anyone who owns property as a "thief". You're on your own with that one, and I think you know it.
I agree with Chris that the PM tenants need to pay their back rent and, in return, the evictions should be stopped. The Eviction Defense Collaberative does have funding for exactly such situations - can they help?
No it isn't. You're missing the obvious fact that, even in the current conditions which you describe, nothing precludes someone from buying one or more buildings, running them as -nonprofit- housing, and paying themselves and needed maintenance staff a fair wage to run that property. It is when an owner seeks the overblown benefit of personal capital profits, that the core problem of owner rent theft arises.
If there were enough ethically-motivated people with the means and volition to buy every rental building in the City, then maybe you'd have a point. But there isn't.
So either we need the profit promise to induce people to buy properties for rental. Or else we face a dramatic reduction in the supply of rental housing.
The level of profit that is gotten from rentals is set by the market - it's the profit necessary to ensure maximization of the availability of rental housing.
Without that profit, thousands of rental buildings would be Ellis'ed and converted to owner-occupation. Or left vacant. Or allowed to decay to the point of demolition.
You can't force landlords to run buildings at cost or at a loss. They won't do it.
If we simply eliminated profit from residential real estate, and private parties failed to set up nonprofits, no problem.
We could then just use housing revenue bonds to buy and build community owned housing, charging tenants enough to pay back overall costs and the bond interest.
This stuff is not rocket science.
amount of bonds it would take to buy out every private rental building in the City?
Your idea is a total non-starter, which is why no serious politician supports it.
Ludicrous. You win the biggest straw man argument of all time award.
We of course do not have to buy all buildings at once. That is a patently ridiculous assertion.
We can simply buy them as revenue bond financing allows/deems-prudent and strategically take over one building or small sets of buildings, progressively over time, until in a few decades, we have full nonprofit and public housing.
The City can buy any privately-owned building, as long as it pays a fair market value. They can even do that against the owner's wish, if there is cause for eminant domain.
And yet, the most "progressive" City in the land has never done that. Have you ever wondered why that is?
Oh and, of course, tenants would still be evicted if they didn't pay rent, and dilapidated buildings would still be demolished.
Welcome to the new boss; same as the old boss. Only more faceless, remote and anonymous.
A) It's time to elect some people who will eminent domain properties for housing.
B) No one is claiming here that people should not be evicted for not paying at cost rent. Even in Cuba, where housing is a right of citizenship, people get evicted for nonpayment of rent.
I can see no better cause for eminent domain than keeping everyone in this city housed at rental rates which do not drive them into poverty.
Let's do it.
"Strawman?" LOL - your entire online "career" is based on using fallacy-based arguments that invariably begin with an insult, vs. a fact-based takedown, of the intelligence of the person to which you're replying.
Eric - don't use words you don't understand - like "strawman." Inevitably someone more intelligent, like 99.5% of the population, will come along and expose you as the absolutely off-putting, insufferable fool that you are.
Rather than debate a topic, he invariably resorts to abuse and insults as soon as someone challenges anything he says.
That's presumably why, after supposedly spending 25 years "working" in politics, he has no public role, no representative position, no responsibility, and appears to spend all day posting to internet blogs rather than actually getting out there and helping people like, for instance, the tenants of Park Merced.
He'd rather spend all day postulating perfect worlds ruled by anarchy than actually try and achieve something in the real world. It's sad.
Wrong. I'm out in the field all the time getting real work done. Apparently you missed the post about my accomplishments. See if you can find it.
Also wrong about personal attacks. Even when I get nasty with people, I include a valid argument in my attack.
And finally..
Anyone who is not angry right now, with our world as fucked up as it is, is either delusional, or on drugs.
You bet your fucking ass I'm angry...
(what the link title says)
I learned from you.
As I said, even when I am pretty ruthless, I include a cogent argument. You, on the other hand, did not.
Translation of your actions. You had no argument - so you resorted to the empty cowardice of a baseless personal attack.
It's understandable. Most trolls do that when they lose a debate.
Then why would ANYONE be a landowner? If you wanted to get nitpicky you should say that no one should be able to make more profit than the next best thing they could have done with that money.
You could have gotten a 5% bond. Awesome, you can make up to five percent.
Oh...wait, there's also that bit about taking on risk.
just as easily be raised at anyone who owns assets or the means of production e.g. farmers, industrialists and so on. It's really a repackaged form of Marxism, which of course was so spectacularly refuted in the 20th century in every nation that tried it.
In 1917, during the Russian revolution, landlords were taken out into the streets and shot. Eric's wet dream. Didn't do them much good though, did it? Unless you like Russian-style concrete architecture with a camera in every wall.
Now PaulT is "refuting the entire 20th century" with one hand tied behind his back. Listen fellow true believer and champion of the truth- we've got to do better than this so they don't brand us as freedom hating trolls that are working to preserve the status quo.
-call me meat
Exactly 'Guest'. Why have commercial landowners at all, when we could instead simply build housing with revenue bonds on public owned property for a lot less money?
This would mean much lower rents, hence the working class would spend a -lot- more money in the local economy instead of throwing it down the useless rat hole of a landowners bank account.
Why not have the government run every single aspect of the economy, with all decisions made by a central collective of concerned citizens?
Nothing prevents this from happening now. So put up a voter initiative that takes all of the local economy under public stewardship, and let's see if the voters support it.
What do you think?

About the Speaker: After he graduated from Catawba, he played baseball for a year in the minor leagues for the Pittsburg Pirates, while earning his master's of education degree from Boston University. He served in the U.S. Army in Korea and Hawaii from 1953 to 1955, before taking a job as a teacher and athletic coach in the Lynchburg Public Schools in Virginia from 1955 to 1957. Between 1957 and 1959, he was a Teaching Fellow at Boston University while earning his doctorate of education from there. For 30 years, between 1959 and 1989, Oxendine served as dean and professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. There, he conducted research, published scholarly papers, won teaching awards and research grants, and even wrote two books. He and wife Adrienne made their home in Philadelphia and raised their two children. When a career opportunity became available to him back in his native North Carolina, as chancellor at UNC Pembroke, he took it, and served 10 years, from 1989 until 1999, as chancellor there. In March 2011, after he had been retired for almost 12 years as chancellor emeritus from UNC Pembroke, Catawba trustees asked Joe to return to Catawba as interim president. He said, "Yes," and has spent the last year at the helm of the college, reaching out to students, faculty and alumni, while being "the face" of Catawba. Catawba has honored Oxendine several times through the years. He has been awarded the college's O. B. Michael Award, the Distinguished Alumnus Award and been given an honorary degree. He has been inducted into Catawba's Sports Hall of Fame and was tapped to serve on the Board of Trustees. In 2011, Oxendine was tapped to serve as interim president of his alma mater while a national search was launched for Catawba's next president. In April 2012, Oxendine was awarded Catawba's prestigious Adrian L. Shuford, Jr. Award for Distinguished Service. QUOTE OF NOTE: |

COMMENTS TO GRADUATING CLASS - May 12, 2012
What a glorious day this is, and it is a real joy for me to join you today in your graduation ceremonies. This is indeed a happy occasion for graduates, and perhaps more so for parents. I, too, am graduating with you today, and I am happy about that.
However, there is a difference. Whereas it took you four years or more to complete your work, it only took me a year and three months. Well you might say it took a little longer, like about 60 years since I last studied here. But just over a year ago some trustees felt that I should return here and do some more work — as president.
You are a special graduating class, both as individuals and as a group. There are 193 of you and as a group, you range in age from 20 to 36 years, with an average age of 23.
This class is 52% women and 48% men. You are a geographically diverse class, representing 18 states and 3 foreign countries.
As I have visited with you over the past year in the cafeteria, at athletic events, and generally around the campus, I have been impressed, and inspired, by your personal stories. It is tempting to stand here and tell you some of those stories, but time does not permit that today.
However, I have a suggestion. If you stand with me outside after ceremonies are completed and mingle among the graduates and their families, you will be able to hear those stories. The parents, the spouses, and friends will brag unashamedly about the graduates, and that's great. It's great that they feel that way and tell us about it, and some of those stories they will tell you are actually true!
However, more important than reflecting on past accomplishments are the plans you have for the future. Many of you have told me about your professional and personal plans for the immediate and long-term future. These too are exciting.
Three brief suggestions as you look to the future:
- First,
in your career plans, I encourage you to pursue the highest goals that you can envision. Strive for positions that stretch your imagination and your aspirations. I have always believed that "if you can conceive it, you can achieve it." Establish ambitious plans, and do this without fear of failure. As you pursue these higher goals you may receive some setbacks or rejections, but you will attain a lot more success than those who don't try. Most successful people in important positions have received rejections along the way. I have probably had more setbacks than anyone in this room. That's because I am older than most and I always liked to try new things. So, although I failed at some things, I also succeeded a lot, and I've had a lot of very good jobs.
To Jasika Nicole Pruitt: Have you ever failed to get any roles that you tried for?
The real failures are those who do not try for challenging goals. Therefore, do not be reluctant, aim high and "go for it."
- Secondly,
get into a field or occupation that you enjoy. This may be different from what you assumed you should do a couple of years ago. It may take a while to get there but it is very important that you get into a position that provides you personal satisfaction and stimulation. I talk with people on occasion who say "I have never really enjoyed my work and I can't wait to retire." That's very sad. Don't let it happen to you.
You may have to take a job to get a paycheck coming in, but continue to pursue that job or field that is of your highest personal interest. The typical person in this country will hold more than a dozen jobs during his or her lifetime. This will include two or three major career changes. Seek out those with greatest personal interest. I became a school teacher at the age of 25, and I have never regretted that decision. I tried several jobs earlier (list some). The field of education at various levels has been ideal for me. Again, pursue a job that you enjoy.
To Jasika: Do you enjoy the field you're in?
- Thirdly, set your mind to make a difference in your profession, your community, and in your world. As a college graduate, and a Catawba College graduate, you are joining an elite group. Only about one out of five adults in our state and in our nation have reached this level. Consequently, you have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to become a leader in your community. You are going to encounter unanticipated opportunities to contribute and to make a difference. I encourage you to take on these responsibilities and improve the climate for all of us.
We are all proud of you today. It is my fervent hope that ten years from now, and fifty years from now, all persons in your community and all who know you will say, "now there is an individual who is really making a difference in this community."
One final request. Each of you has family or friends in the audience who have provided you love and support during your time here. Perhaps parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, spouses and children — persons important to you. Please stand and face those special persons in the audience, and if you can't find them, pretend that you see them, and express your thanks — and the faculty and the rest of us will join you.
Keep in touch with Catawba and keep in touch with your friends. Some of your school mates will be close friends for 25 and 50 years. Come back and visit this campus often.
President Lewis, it is good to join you in this commencement today. Here's hoping you have many more equally joyous ceremonies in years to come.
Now, for one last time I'm going to ask you to sing your Alma Mater. Surely, you have all learned it by now, but just in case you haven't, it is printed in your program.
After the Alma Mater, Dr. Clapp will present the benediction. Then I ask the audience to remain until the recessional has been completed.

UK Government Will Not Ban Twitter During Future Riots
During talks with Twitter, Facebook and RIM today in response to the riots earlier this month, the UK government backed down on plans to block social networks should another riot occur.
The Guardian reports that the representatives from Twitter, Facebook and RIM, along with the UK Home Secretary Theresa May, agreed early in the meeting that banning social networks during periods of civil unrest would be unwise.
The notion that the government might ban social networks arose when David Cameron said that his government would "do whatever it takes" to prevent future riots from occurring.
The remainder of the one-hour meeting dealt with how law enforcement can more effectively use social networks during emergencies as well as day-to-day operations.
The UK government released a statement about the meeting:
"The discussions looked at how law enforcement and the networks can build on the existing relationships and co-operation to prevent the networks being used for criminal behaviour."
A spokesperson from Twitter released a statement prior to the meeting, discussing Twitter's role during emergencies:
"We've heard from many that Twitter is an effective way to distribute crucial updates and dispel rumours in times of crisis or emergency.
People also use Twitter as the first place to get information, monitor quickly changing events in real-time, and connect with friends, family and their communities.
"We are always interested in exploring how we can make Twitter even more helpful and relevant during times of critical need."

Discussion Forum
I raise a breed of rabbit call Mini Rex. There is debate in the rabbit world whether they should be referred to as Mini Rex or Mini Rexes in the plural form. Can you help me determine the correct way to pluralize this breed name? I know that when people are referring the Tyrannosaurus Rex is seems to stay the same whether singular or plural. However, I'm not sure the "rex" part of the names comes from the same etymology.
Since most words ending in x require an -es, why would Mini Rexes not be correct? Or, on the other hand why would the plural of Tyrannosaurus in plural be Tyrannosaurus Rexes?
Does this have to do with the difference between a species name and a breed name?
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Wow … that's a great question achildress. Welcome to the forum.
After some online research at my favorite etymology sites, it appears there's some disagreement about pluralizing words that are originally Latin or Greek (as with taxonomies). Here's a summary of what I found, mainly regarding T. rex, but I assume the same would apply to M. rex. Disclaimer: I am not a Latin or Greek scholar, but I do have a science background so I've often had to deal with this type of question.
1. If you go with strict Latin, the plural of Tyrannosaurus rex would be "Tyrannosauri reges" and thus for your breed "Mini reges" or "M. reges." But that just sounds a bit stilted to me.
2. Other sources say Tyrannosaurus rex is its own plural (sorta like the English word "fish"). If you buy that rule, then just use "Mini rex" for both singular and plural. Or more simply, "M. rex" as is done with the standard binomial taxonomy established by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century. Note that the species name is capitalized, but the genus is not.
3. And still other sources say that when you adopt a foreign word into English, you pretty much have carte blanche when it comes to format. Especially if you're naming a new species. But since it sounds like this is an existing breed of rabbit, maybe the original breeder has already made that choice. Is he/she still around, and could you consult the breeder about that?
For an interesting read on the subject of species/genus pluralization, see this link.
I know there are some real Latin and Greek scholars on this forum. So I'm hoping one of them will jump into this thread.
My knowing nothing about this does not prevent me from having an opinion. First, Heimhenge's analysis is spot on.
1). The Latin plural of Rex is Reges. But I see no reason to use the Latin plural. The conjunction with Mini makes it impossible to treat as Latin.
2) Latin taxonomy terms don't vary in the plural (usually anymore) -- they are homo sapiens (and not homines sapientes). But Mini Rex is a breed name and not part of the taxonomy, so I see no reason for this to apply.
3). The man's name Rex comes from the same Latin word for king. If I know three men with that name, the are three Rexes. I see the breed name as analogous to a person's name. I'd go with Mini Rexes.
achildress said: Monsieur Gillet was the first to name this breed of rabbit. They were actually called Castorrex- castor for beaver in French and rex as the Latin word for king in English.
So are you saying the original breeder's taxonomy choice was Castorrex castor? That would change much of my previous response.
Glenn's distinction between breed names and binomial taxonomy names is also a good point. I mean, if you want to call this new breed "Cute Small Short-haired Bunnies" … more power to you. But if you want a formal scientific name, go with my original advice.
I read four different websites about castor rex and mini rex rabbits (there are dozens) and they all referred to the plural as "Castor rex rabbits" or "Mini rex rabbits" adding and pluralizing "rabbits." This is what I would do and avoid the controversy. Of course this does not answer the question. I don't even have an opinion about that answer.
Glenn said: Latin taxonomy terms don't vary in the plural (usually anymore) -- they are homo sapiens (and not homines sapientes). But Mini Rex is a breed name and not part of the taxonomy, so I see no reason for this to apply.
Absolutely correct, since Mini rex is not really a formal taxonomic designation … it's a mix of English and Latin, and simply a name for a breed, e.g., "black orchid." So the usual nomenclature rules don't really apply.
I also like Dick's suggestion that the whole issue be avoided by simply appending the plural "rabbits," and that also works fine, but it isn't really the answer to the original question starting this thread.
But I'm still confused by achildress's last response. You seem to be saying the official species name chosen by the original breeder (Gillet) was Castorrex? What genus name did he append to that. According to Wiki, there are 8 genera to choose from, all in the family Leporidae.

The first time I tried tofu scramble was at Fivelements, the incredible vegan health retreat I mentioned in this post. It tasted so delicious – so cheesy and scramble-y – that I couldn't help but obsess over it until I figured out the recipe. Fellow vegan foodie, Paul Jarvis, includes a simpler version of this recipe in Eat Awesome – this book was my first introduction to the wonderful world of nutritional yeast flakes. These flakes are what gives vegan recipes that 'cheesy' kick. So, thanks to this discovery, and with a little tweak here and there, I figured out how to make the perfect vegan scramble. With stacks of healthy vegetable protein and zero animal fat, you won't miss eggs!

Spring Has Held Life in Her HandsSunlight is pouring past her lips as she cradles newborn fawns. Vines twist and spiral into a calligraphy of green memories; she bats her eyes causing petals to glide on softened breezes. As she hangs leaflets on branches and tucks in tree roots with blankets of moss she smiles. Mountains cry, with snow trickling down their peeks. She places circlets of white flowers at their feet; her hands brush the sliding snow away. She builds a castle of iris and lilies over the world with purples, pinks, and reds dotting the horizon. The people look up and shudder as a sudden peace engulfs them. Spring digs moats of morning dew beneath drawbridges of grass. Placing a tiara of clovers against the sides of dead trees, grass spurting forth from their wounds she sings. Birds flit between the branches of her hair, chirping a song of return into her ear.The clouds stretch awake at the sound of Spring, chuckling hello with a wave of white.
