Titles similar to For the Confederate Dead
Young writes laconic yet conversational, wry, and hard-hitting poems rooted in sorrow and wisdom, and fueled by pleasure and wit. In Jelly Roll (2003) and Black Maria (2005), he borrows formal elements from music, art, film, and fiction. Here Young turns to various muses and mentors and presents his most overtly beautiful poems to date. The overarching theme is Reconstruction-era African American history, yet Young also pays arresting tribute to poets Gwendolyn Brooks, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Phillis Wheatley; friend and writer Philippe Wamba; and self-taught artist James Hampton. In the funny and cutting cycle "Americana," Young high-steps his way through brightly inventive lyrics that illuminate the spiritual richness and dirt-poor hunger of the rural Deep South, with nods to Zora Neale Hurston and a thrilling riff on Allen Ginsberg's "America." And in "The Ballad of Jim Crow," a mischievously folksy, short-lined, rhyming suite of poems, he parallels a mythologized Jim Crow with Jesus Christ. Young's pairing of humor and deep feeling is bluesy and tonic.

INPUTsys Exe Packer creates executables with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and additional files embedded. When the packed application starts, the JRE files will be extracted to a temporary directory. The minimum size of the resulting executable file is 13MB. No ahead of time (AOT) compilation is done; the Hotspot compiler is used. There is a Java system property which points to the extracted directory, so your Java application can use whatever files have been packed into the executable.
JCGO (pronounced as "j-c-go") translates (converts) programs written in Java into platform-independent C code that can be compiled (by third-party tools) into highly-optimized native code for the target platform. JCGO is a powerful solution that enables your desktop, server-side, embedded, mobile, and wireless Java applications to take full advantage of the underlying hardware. In addition, JCGO makes your programs, when compiled to native code, as hard to reverse engineer as if they were written in C/C++. The JCGO translator uses some optimization algorithms that allow, together with optimizations performed by a C compiler, the resulting executable code to reach better performance compared with the traditional Java implementations (based on the Just-In-Time technology). The produced executable does not contain nor require a Java Virtual Machine to execute, so its resource requirements are smaller than that required by a typical Java VM. This also simplifies the process of deployment and distribution of an application.
EBuild is a software project build, dependency management, and reporting technology. The aim is to be able to tackle any build problem in a structured, declarative, and elegant way. It is written in Java, but can be used to build all manner of projects and is extensible via a plugin interface. It is best compared to something like Maven (and in some respects Ivy). It aims to overcome certain design flaws and the resultant unnecessary complexity. The EBuild build model is general, but plugins need to be written in a JVM compatible language. Existing plugins all deal with the Java ecosystem, so EBuild is most suitable for Java and mixed technology software projects.
BitNami Tomcat Stack Native Installer is an easy-to-install environment to develop and deploy Java applications. It includes pre-configured, ready-to-run versions of Apache, Tomcat, MySQL, and Java. Users can get the environment up and running in minutes after answering a few questions.

Spreading the Holiday Cheer
As you can see, I took a few days off for the holidays. Before I get back into full throttle fantasy baseball analysis, I want to take a moment to spread some holiday cheer and give some love to a few sites that I think everyone should check out.
Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove, run by Mark Schruender, who has contributed to FB365 a few times, is in the top 100 of their preseason rankings count down. This has been a yearly thing for FBHS and each player is examined with a well rounded approach. Be sure to follow along if your not already.
If you like baseball cards, then you have to check out Goose Joak. Dave Kemp does an amazing job with his custom "fantasy" cards and he even mixes in some fantasy analysis once in a while. Like Mark, Dave has been reading FB365 since year one and has filled in as a guest writer.
I am a big fan of prospect evaluations and Project Prospect has been one of my favorite sites for years now. Founder Adam Foster has assembled a very talented crew that all bring years of experience to the table. I have been fortunate enough to contribute my own scouting reports for PP and look forward to working with them even more this coming season.
Even if you're not a Red Sox fan, you'll likely want to gather some info on their players and prospects for your fantasy team. Fire Brand of the American League has been dishing out top-notch Red Sox analysis since 2003. Founder Evan Brunell has moved on to other opportunities, such as blogging for CBSSports.com's Rumors and Facts, but he has a new team of extremely talented writers that all bring a sabermetric approach to ESPN's Sweet Spot network without overloading readers with numbers. I was fortunate enough to be given a bi-weekly spot on the team and look forward to breaking down the Sox during the 2011 season.
There is a good chance that you may have come across FB365 through a link at Fantasy Rundown. I can't say enough great things about that site. It has everything a fantasy GM could want as far as a source of organized information. Not only do they provide daily links to the best fantasy content around, but you can also find all the positional rankings, prospect rankings and projections you could ever need. I truly appreciate all the linkage that FB365 has received throughout the years.
Writing about fantasy baseball year-round wouldn't be nearly as fun without the support of the readers. If not for your compliments and criticisms, I don't think I would enjoy doing this as much as I do. For everyone who has left a comment, sent me an email, contacted me via Twitter and Facebook or even just read along silently, I want to say sincerely THANK YOU!
I hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season. Here's to the countdown to spring training and the prospect of a great 2011 baseball season!

There is a high threat from terrorism.
Terrorist groups continue to plan attacks and have the capacity and intent to carry out these attacks at anytime and anywhere in the country. You should be particularly vigilant during holiday periods such as Easter, Christmas, New Year, Nyepi (Balinese New Year, in March) and Independence Day (17 August). See Terrorism.
Following the abduction of a British national in the Aceh region of Northern Sumatra in June, you should exercise caution in the area. While the risk of abduction is not high, you should be aware that 1 French and 5 Chinese nationals were abducted in separate incidents in 2008. See Local travel
Indonesia sits along a volatile seismic strip called the 'Ring of Fire'. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur regularly and tsunamis are possible. Flash floods and more widespread flooding occur regularly. See Natural Disasters.
During the rainy season (usually around October to April) widespread flooding can occur. Keep a stock of food and bottled water, monitor local media and follow the advice of the local authorities. Walking and driving in flooded areas can be dangerous due to uncovered drainage ditches that are covered by water. There is a higher risk of waterborne diseases in flooded areas.
You should exercise caution when travelling to Aceh, Central Sulawesi Province (especially Palu, Poso and Tentena), Maluku Province (especially Ambon), Papua and West Papua Province.
With the exception of Garuda Airlines, Mandala Airlines, Airfast and Ekspres Transportasi Antarbenua (operating as PremiAir) and Indonesia Air Asia, all other Indonesian passenger airlines are refused permission to operate services to the EU because of safety concerns. See Air travel.

Balzac at Thirty
Like Dickens, Balzac contained his age, and again like Dickens he had an immediate sense of his public. When later on he was criticized for potboiling he said hotly that an artist who has no private means and who is not supported by some sinecure in his government has to pay attention to popular taste and the demands of editors. The young Balzac first reached a large public with a very hot boiler. There was a passing craze for revaluations—what were called physiologies; and in 1829, Balzac dashed off a Physiologie du mariage—"by a Bachelor." He was thirty. The book was not only wittily topical; it drew on something central and quite serious in Balzac's nature. The cynical bachelor did really think that marriage ought to be made more agreeable among the rising middle classes. The book made him notorious if not famous, and established him in the minds of a large number of women readers. They might be angry, they might be admiring, they wrote hundreds of arguing, confessional, or ecstatic letters to the writer who was so much on their side and who had the gift of intimacy. For the rest of his life women were his chief correspondents.
For if there was one thing the "celestial" Balzac family knew all about it was domestic love. Not the cold campaigns of seduction in Les Liaisons dangereuses; not the crystalizing of the varieties of the passion which Stendhal had examined in De l'amour only a few years before, for Balzac lacked that psychological fineness; but love in the married state, love in the household. Indeed he might have quoted Sterne:
Love, you see, is not so much a Sentiment as a Situation, into which a man enters, as my brother Toby would do, in a corps—no matter whether he loves the service or no—being once in it, he acts as he did….
He had listened to his father's "utterances" drawn from Tristram Shandy and Rabelais, as the father sat at home with a restless wife who had presented him with another man's child. He had seen one sister die early in a marriage that had become wretched. His first two mistresses, Mme de Berny and the Duchesse d'Abrantès, were married women, both older than his mother and more than twenty years older than himself—so that at this time he could be said to be a young man with three mothers, all on the worst of terms with one another. He had listened to the unhappy life stories of the tender Mme de Berny, who had been brought up as a girl at the court of Versailles; and in the company of the Duchesse heard confidences of the somewhat businesslike attitude to love at Napoleon's court. The Duchesse had even been the mistress of Metternich. One can hear these voices mixed with his in the Physiologie.
Balzac had the journalist's talent for having it all ways. Blatantly imitating …

not a good deal. this deal has been around for a while. i ended up getting this deal since i needed another cc and didnt think 100k points would come around again. i dont know why people care about spending $2k vs $3k in 3 months. just buy gift cards or something. i paid for classes with my cc. i ended up keeping the CSP for a 2nd year since i was able to get 4500 point credit.
what is the strategy to getting the $2k deal in store? i've asked an employee in the past but they had declined. are they supposed to offer it or can i simply go up and say, "i'm interested in the sapphire preferred and i heard there's a 40,000 points bonus if you spend $2,000 - can i sign up"?
I got the offer. |
Plus YMMV on B&M, while many ppl don't have access to B&M at all in their regions. opening bonus is what matters when it comes to a CC to be a good deal or not. As for SP, no 5k pts bonus, not a good deal Contribute without asking for reps or taking them as granted - that's the SD spirit.
i do agree this SP is not the "best" SD and not everywhere has chase branch. for most general users/consumers, they do jump at the chance of this type of deal as they are indeed not bad for them. chase just reported ~20% increase in their cc sales mainly due to SP and Freedom |

In California, the appropriate credential for teaching a specific subject, such as math or English, in a departmentalized (K-12) classroom is the 2042 Single Subject Teaching Credential. It allows the holder to teach English language learners and is typically required of those who teach at the middle school or high school level. Candidates utilize Common Core and other state content standards to design engaging lessons and develop the skills necessary for planning and differentiating instruction, classroom management and assessment. The program is enhanced with a focus on the use of technology in the classroom and the development of 21st century skills.
Applicants must complete the formal application process and all required documents, which include:
Applicants seeking one or more of these teaching credential must make formal application to the teacher credential program before beginning any coursework other than prerequisites.
Admission Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirements:
Applicants to a credential program must possess a grade point average of 2.75 (GPA) calculated over the most recent 30 graded semester (45 quarter) credits completed in either a baccalaureate or post baccalaureate program, including credits earned toward a credential. All credits used for GPA calculation must be from a regionally accredited institution.
Applicants to the Single Subject or Education Specialist Credential program who are using an academic major or coursework for subject matter competency must also have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 in their major field to be admitted.
Applicants with GPAs between 2.50* and 2.74 can qualify for admission to a credential program by earning a passing score on one of the qualifying examinations listed below. A passing score will fulfill both the admission and the major grade point average requirements. Applicants may not enroll in any 500 level course other than prerequisites, until successful completion of an entrance examination:
Exceptional Admit:
Multiple and Single Subject, and Education Specialist applicants with a GPA lower than 2.5 may, under certain conditions, petition for admission consideration under an "exceptional admit" category. Applicants must have passed the CBEST and one of the approved graduate admission examinations specified in number 6 above to be considered for an "exceptional admit". The School of Education encourages applicants to take the appropriate Subject Matter Competency Examination as a way to demonstrate suitability for admission to a credential program. To petition for admission candidates must submit all required admission documents specified in #1 above and each of following:
Applicants who choose to enroll in these credential programs have the option of completing their programs in a "credential only" format, or, if they meet graduate degree admission criteria in a Master of Arts in Teaching format (please see MAT degree program for details).
*Students admitted to credential programs are not automatically admitted to graduate degree programs.

A quick start, clutch play from Roy Hibbert, Lance Stephenson and others, and a bevy of controversial fouls on LeBron James all contributed to the Indiana Pacers defeating the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. LeBron, who fouled out for just the second playoff game of his career, looks to get Miami back on track when pivotal Game 5 takes place Thursday night in Miami.
In a tightly contested game that needed overtime to determine a winner, LeBron James and the Miami Heat found a way to squeak past the Indiana Pacers to take a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Ben Golliver of SB Nation and SI.com breaks down what was arguably the most exciting game of the 2013 postseason.

Last week I attended a virtualization seminar. I did not expect a lot from the event at first, but I was surprised by the qualities of the guest speakers. Both had strong backgrounds with VM environments, and they did a good job of explaining what it takes to migrate to VM.
One of the speakers made an interesting statement, saying that the hypervisor is now commoditized. The market for virtual solutions has gotten so big, it's unavoidable. VMWare has ESX, Xen has their system, and Microsoft is coming out with Hyper-V. If everybody offers what is essentially the same thing, then how do these products stand out from one another?
Now your incentives for buying virtualization have changed. You don't buy VMWare just because it offers virtualization; you buy VMWare because it has the best service, and the best hot migration features. You might buy Hyper-V because your familiar with Microsoft internal APIs and management tools. On top of virtualization, I'm not sure what else Xen has to offer, but there could be new features coming out from Citrix.
When I left the seminar, I started to re-evaluate hardware decisions that were made in the past. The nature of the beast has changed. Eight years ago, hardware decisions were taken for granted, because it too, was commoditized.
Everything runs on an x86, and everyone makes an x86, so the low price usually won out. Anything that the vendor offers on top of the low price might have clinched the deal. Better support, better service, free shipping? Whatever it took to sell a server and get it out the door. Hundreds of IT departments packed data centers full of tight 1ru servers. Virtualization has now made those servers worthless.
When a single server failed, it was no big deal. You probably had another one just like it running the same application. If that same server is now running multiple virtual hosts, then the service impact is higher. Two machines may now be fighting for access to the same mirrored local disks. What are the chances that they're impacting each other?
If your server can only handle 2 running virtual hosts, then you cut hardware costs by 50%; but in order to win, your hardware savings still need to be higher than the support and licensing costs of your enterprise VM solution. A 2 to 1 hardware savings ratio isn't good. it's expected. In order to maximize your investment, you should aim for a 4 to 1 hardware savings ratio, maybe higher
Migrating to a VM environment does not mean building a VM solution into your servers; it means building your servers around a VM solution. If the hypervisor really is treated like a commodity, then the same can no longer be said about the hardware.

Mobile Banking
No Wires, No Problem. MVFCU's online banking is configured to fit your mobile device. When you sign in from a smart phone or tablet online banking automatically scales itself to fit your device. You can view your accounts, transfer funds, make a loan payment, pay bills using online bill pay and manage your account alerts ALL FOR FREE.
Mobile Security Tips
Avoid Mobile Banking on Public Networks
Many mobile devices allow you to connect to different types of networks, including public WiFi Networks. You might be tempted to check your balance or make some transfers while you grab a quick drink at a coffee shop. But before you log into your account, make sure you're not connected to the public network.
Public connections aren't very secure -- most places that offer a public WiFi hotspot warn users not to share sensitive information over the network. If you need to access your account information, you may want to switch to another network. If you're using a smartphone or other cellular device, disabling the WiFi and switching to a cellular network is a good solution. You never know who might be listening in over the public network.
Setup Account Alerts
Account Alerts, specifically Event Alerts can prevent fraud by notifying you of irregular activity in your account. You can get an instant alert whenever there is a change to your password or account information, like address, phone number or email address. You can even establish Advanced Security Alerts to notify you if your account has been accessed outside of the country, state, city, ISP or IP Address. NOTE: When you use a cellular tower you may be accessing your account from outside of your state. However, if you're not signing into your account you will be notified.
Keep Track of Your Device
Perhaps the biggest risk is also the reason why mobile banking is so popular -- mobile devices are easy to carry around everywhere we go. They can contain everything from passwords to contact lists to our calendar appointments. Information like that can be dangerous if your mobile device falls into the wrong hands.
If your device has a digital locking mechanism you should use it. Some devices require you to trace a pattern or insert a PIN. While it might slow you down to have to enter a PIN each time you want to use your phone, that layer of security might be enough to keep a thief from accessing your bank account before you can report your phone as missing.
Be Careful What You Download
For the moment, mobile devices are less prone to malware attacks than computers. But you should still be careful when downloading apps -- not just your banking app, but all apps. Do a little research before you download that next widget or game to make sure the app developer has a good reputation. And if you've jail broken an iPhone or you've side loaded unapproved apps, be aware that your data could be vulnerable.
Don't be scared off from using your mobile device to access your bank accounts. Just be sure to practice good, safe behaviors and keep track of your gadgets. With a little common sense and attention, mobile banking can be both convenient and secure.
Downloadable App

Mobile Security
There are many steps which can be taken to reduce the risk of fraud originating from the mobile environment. A primary concern is malware. The threat of malware in the mobile sector is likely to progress in much the same way as early forms of personal computer malware, with the twist being the progressive rate new vectors of infection develop. As mobile devices become increasingly feature rich, the underlying security mechanisms offered by these devices will mature. Unfortunately, this is the same type of poor practice which continues to plague the Internet scene to this day.

Blue Cross changes OK'd without abortion provisionBy Associated Press
Related links
LANSING — A state House committee has approved bills to overhaul Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, leaving out anti-abortion provisions that torpedoed an earlier effort to change the status of the state's largest insurer. Bills headed to the House don't include language to prevent insurers and businesses from providing elective abortion coverage in employee health plans. Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed a similar bill less than two months ago over last-minute abortion provisions. Some lawmakers discussed restoring abortion restrictions. The proposed overhaul seeks to modernize but not sell Blue Cross, which is governed by a separate law from other insurers and waits longer for its rate changes to be reviewed. Before today's 11-0 vote, senior advocates testified about concerns that costs will rise because of the legislation. Three Democrats abstained from voting.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Edward Kennedy
United States Senator
Statement of Senator Edward M. Kennedy
The Fourth Circuit has also become the Administration's forum of choice for cases testing the limits of civil liberties in this post-September 11 era. By choosing to hold certain detainees within the Circuit's jurisdiction, the Administration has ensured in several cases that this court would decide the outcome. This was true in the cases of Yaser Hamdi, and Jose Padilla, American citizens whom the government sought to hold indefinitely without access to counsel or judicial review. The Moussaoui case will be tried in the Fourth Circuit, and aspects of it have already been considered there. Although the Supreme Court eventually reviewed the Hamdi case, it hears so few cases, that as a practical matter, the Fourth Circuit has the final word on many vital legal issues. It is also widely recognized as the nation's most conservative circuit court, and in recent years, it has taken a sharp turn to the right. Again and again, its decisions have shut the door on meritorious claims for civil rights and criminal justice. In especially flagrant cases, the Supreme Court has stepped in. It overruled the Fourth Circuit's decision that states can't outlaw cross-burning as a form of racial intimidation. It held that the Fourth Circuit was wrong to rule that federal law enforcement officials need not follow the Miranda decision requiring them to inform suspects of their right to counsel. It held that the Fourth Circuit was wrong when it upheld drug testing for pregnant women without their consent. The last thing the Fourth Circuit needs is a judge who will decide cases based on ideology instead of the law. But that's exactly what the President is suggesting by nominating Judge Boyle. As all of us are well aware, Democrats have cooperated to confirm 210 of President Bush's judicial nominees. But we've received opinions covering less than half of Judge Boyle's tenure on the bench; we received civil opinions dating back only to 1997 and criminal opinions back to 1992. But Judge Boyle was confirmed in 1984. So the materials we received leave more than a decade of his record unaccounted for - more than half the time that Judge Boyle has been on the bench. In an attempt to move things along - I identified for Judge Boyle the areas that we'd need to review first - such as unpublished opinions that have been reversed or criticized on appeal, and those involving basic constitutional and civil rights. We need to receive these opinions, and to consider this nomination based on the entire record, not half a record. His failure to fulfill this simple request shows disrespect for the Committee and for the American people's right to know his record. Based on the record before us, it seems that Judge Boyle is an example of a nominee chosen for his radical views, not his qualifications. The Committee should admit that fact and send the White House a clear message that the American people deserve better. Try as they might, Judge Boyle's supporters cannot explain away his unacceptably high reversal rate. His decisions have been reversed or criticized on appeal more than 150 times, far more than any other district judge nominated to a circuit court by President Bush. Too often, these reversals took place because he made the same mistake more than once. Time and again, the Fourth Circuit has reversed him for committing "plain error." According to the Circuit, that means error so severe and obvious that it goes to the heart of the "fairness, integrity, or public reputation" of court proceedings. It's one thing for a judge to be overruled on legal issues that are a close call, or that have never been addressed by the court of appeals. It's quite another to be reversed over and over, as Judge Boyle has, for ignoring clear legal precedent. His decisions in civil cases show a pattern of too In one case, the Fourth Circuit overruled him for granting summary judgment to the defendant without ever considering the plaintiff's objections. Less than a year later, he made the same basic error in another case, and the Fourth Circuit reversed him again on the same ground. This Committee should not confirm a judge who repeatedly makes such fundamental legal errors. More troubling still, he has been reversed most often, and has made the most serious mistakes, in the cases that matter most to citizens' daily lives. Time and again, the conservative Fourth Circuit has ruled that Judge Boyle improperly dismissed cases seeking protection for important individual rights, such as the right to free speech, free association, the right to be free from discrimination, and even the right to a fair and lawful sentence in a criminal case. In my written questions to Judge Boyle, I asked how he could possibly justify these decisions in light of the Supreme Court's holding that Title II is "unquestionably" valid Fourteenth Amendment legislation as applied to cases involving access to courts and judicial services. His answer was frankly incomprehensible. He stated that his analysis had been adopted by the Supreme Court in Garret v. Alabama. But the Garrett Court had been addressing an entirely different part of the ADA - Title I -- which forbids discrimination in employment. The Garrett decision had nothing to do with the case before Judge Boyle, which involved Title II, the part of the Act prohibiting discrimination in public services and state and local government programs. As the distinguished Duke University law professor and former ADA litigator, Erwin Chemerinsky, noted in a recent letter to this Committee, Judge Boyle's explanation is simply inaccurate. There is no way to reconcile Judge Boyle's decisions that Congress lacked power to enact Title II, with the Supreme Court's holding that Congress "unquestionably" had the power to do so, based on the long history of discrimination in state and local government programs. His answers cannot hide that fact. I can only conclude that Judge Boyle either does not understand the law, or is seeking to obscure the issue. He tried to explain away the ADA's clear language that specifically identified "reassignment to a vacant position," as an example of a reasonable accommodation. He held that these plain words in the law were "merely suggestive" and have "no force of law." Although the Fourth Circuit upheld his grant of summary judgment on other grounds, it made absolutely clear that he was wrong in holding that the examples of reasonable accommodation listed in the statute don't have the force of law. As the court of appeals stated, "[o]bviously, Congress considered these types of accommodations to be reasonable." Judge Boyle's willingness to ignore clear statutory language calls into doubt his willingness to enforce the law as written. Equally disturbing is Judge Boyle's insistence, in the same case, that courts should not "second guess" an employer about whether an accommodation is reasonable, and should defer to employers on the issue. The conservative Fourth Circuit also criticized this part of his opinion, explaining that it's the court's job to decide if an accommodation is reasonable, rather than simply taking the employer's word. This Committee must ensure that nominees will give fair treatment to disabled persons who seek the protection of the law. These aspects of Judge Boyle's record on disability rights are disturbing enough, because they show a clear disregard for the ADA. Worse still are his repeated comments showing hostility to the Act's reasonable accommodation requirements because, he feels, they grant special privileges to the disabled. He has stated that the ADA "seeks to single out the disabled for special, advantageous treatment," and that the Act grants "special treatment tailored to the claimed disability." For a person who needs a wheelchair ramp to go through the courthouse door, or a deaf child who needs assistance in the classroom, denying an accommodation means an inability to obtain justice or to learn. Without taking into account the particular needs and circumstances of persons with disabilities, there is no way to ensure they have an equal opportunity. Judge Boyle's views would severely limit participation by these groups in our society. The rest of Judge Boyle's civil rights record is equally unacceptable. He was unanimously reversed by the Supreme Court in a voting rights case, in which white voters challenged a Congressional district with a substantial African American population, claiming it had been unconstitutionally drawn up for racial reasons. The issue was whether the white voters could prove that the lines had been drawn for racial rather than political reasons. Judge Boyle granted summary judgment for the plaintiffs before the parties could gather evidence in discovery and without holding a trial. Writing for a unanimous Supreme Court, Justice Thomas held that Judge Boyle had failed to follow the basic legal standard governing summary judgment motions. It held he was wrong to decide, without even holding a trial, that a Congressional district with a significant African American population necessarily resulted from an improper racial gerrymander. The Supreme Court later reversed Judge Boyle a second time in the same case. In reviewing his second opinion, the Court stated that his decision was "clearly erroneous" and that he improperly relied on "precisely the kind of evidence [the Court] said was inadequate the last time . . . ." Judge Boyle has also failed to adequately explain his serious mis-statements of law in a gender discrimination case. He refused to enter a consent decree agreed to by the Justice Department and the State of North Carolina to resolve an alleged pattern or practice of discrimination against women in hiring and promoting prison guards. The Justice Department identified over 600 women who had been harmed by the discriminatory practices. Judge Boyle refused to enter the decree. Instead, he encouraged the State to withdraw from its binding contract, and ruled that his court lacked jurisdiction over the case. On appeal, the Fourth Circuit unanimously held that his decision was an "abuse of discretion" and ordered him to enter the consent decree. In the same case, Judge Boyle also went out of his way to criticize the Department of Justice for including evidence that North Carolina hired significantly fewer female prison guards than other states. He wrote that "nothing is more offensive to the idea of federalism than the notion that the federal government will punish a state for having a non-conforming culture -- for being different than the other states." Although Judge Boyle has stated that he was not suggesting a cultural defense to discrimination, his words speak for themselves. There was no valid reason for including this statement in his opinion. At best it's irrelevant, and at worst it shows open hostility to the principle of basic equality under the law. In the same opinion, Judge Boyle also clearly mis-interpreted the 1991 Civil Rights Act. He stated that under the Act, proof of discriminatory intent is always required in a disparate impact case. In fact, the opposite is true. I was the principle author of the 1991 Act, and one of our main purposes in enacting its provisions was to allow plaintiffs to prove discrimination by looking at the effects of practices, not just their intent. That change amended Title VII to include the kind of disparate impact analysis that the Supreme Court recognized in Griggs v. Duke Power, when it held that supposedly neutral employment practices cannot be allowed to act as "built in head winds" limiting employment opportunities for any group. I'm troubled that Judge Boyle so seriously mis-read this important civil rights law. In addition to these serious problems in his civil rights record, Judge Boyle has also made repeated errors on criminal law. The Fourth Circuit has repeatedly reversed his decisions in criminal cases, often for making the same, clear error more than once. In several criminal cases, the Fourth Circuit held that Judge Boyle committed "plain error." He was twice reversed for wrongly allowing a criminal suspect to go free. He was reversed for committing plain error by allowing the government to violate a plea agreement. He was also reversed for plain error for mistakes in impaneling a jury. And he's been reversed for plain error in several sentencing cases. The list goes on and on. Judge Boyle's record has generated widespread concern from citizens in the Fourth Circuit, including his home state of North Carolina. He's strongly opposed by law enforcement and other public servants, including the Southern States Police Benevolent Association, the Police Benevolent Societies in North and South Carolina, the Professional Fire Fighters and Paramedics of North Carolina, and the North Carolina Troopers Association. The Director of the North Carolina Police Benevolent Society wrote that "[o]ur officers have appeared before Judge Boyle as parties and witnesses. We know Judge Boyle and his long judicial record. Our members have personally suffered from [his] repeated legal errors." We've also heard from organizations dedicated to disability rights, other civil rights, and workers' rights opposing this nomination, including many in North Carolina. We certainly expect President Bush to nominate judges who are Republicans and conservatives. But we really need judges with the highest legal qualifications and a record of excellence in the law. We need judges who will decide cases with an open mind and a commitment to fairness for all, not judges who believe they are free to ignore the law. Judge Boyle's record fails this basic test. Finally, some of Judge Boyle's supporters make the preposterous claim that opposition to his nomination is somehow opposition to faith. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Each of us as Senators -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- has taken an oath of office to uphold the Constitution, including the fundamental principle of the separation of church and state. Freedom of religion flourishes in America because neither Congress, the Administration, nor the courts has the power to impose their own religious views on the nation or any of its citizens. I do not question Judge Boyle's faith, and none of us who oppose his nomination do so either. But we do question his qualifications for this high judicial position. His record is appalling, and I urge my colleagues to reject it. |

Notes from a Darkened Theater: Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg to Star in the Facebook Movie
Despite early speculation that Michael Cera or Shia LaBoeuf might be tagged to play Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg in the upcoming David Fincher movie The Social Network, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin recently disclosed that Jesse Eisenberg, the 26-year-old star of Zombieland, has landed the role. His co-stars will include Justin Timberlake, who will play Napster co-founder Sean Parker, and Andrew Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) as fellow Facebook founder Eduardo Saverin.
The movie began filming this month in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Zuckerberg co-founded the popular networking site with Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while attending Harvard. The production has already attracted crowds of curious onlookers to the Thirsty Scholar Pub in nearby Somerville, where filming is set to continue over the next two days before eventually returning to Hollywood.

Economic Impact Study
In April 2013, HousingWorks released The Economic Impact of General Obligation Bonds for Affordable Housing. The report, which was commissioned by HousingWorks and produced by Austin-based Civic Economics, shows that the $55 million bond package approved by voters in 2006 will bring $865 million to the local economy.
The study found that to date $392 million and over 2900 jobs were generated in private and non-profit construction of housing funded by the bonds. The ongoing impact of the 506 long term support jobs, operational revenue, and saving in housing costs to affordable housing residents is estimated by Civic Economics to create $473 million more in positive impact to the Austin economy over 10 years.

Land Development Code Re-Write Presents Opportunity for Affordability: HousingWorks Weighs In
Austinites may decry the "Dallas-ing" of Austin, but the city's expansion has exploded in recent years. And Austin code advisory board member Mandy De Mayo says Austin needs to address the need for more affordable urban housing as the city expands.
Building on Success: A New Standard for Affordable Housing in Austin
At the HousingWorks June 6, 2012 Leadership Tour, Board President Frances Ferguson presented an overview of affordable housing in Austin. The presentation includes why we need affordable housing and how we can ensure that affordable housing continues to be an integral part of our community.
Economic Impact Study
In May 2012, HousingWorks released a study of the economic impact of the 2006 affordable housing bonds. Completed by local economists Civic Economics, the study demonstrates how the $55 million in general obligation bonds will bring more than $800 million to the local economy in the next decade.
HousingWorks Board Member, Wes Peoples, discusses the importance of all kinds of homes in all parts of town
HousingWorks Austin is a non-profit organization endeavoring to keep homes affordable for Austinites through research, education and public policy change.
Our mission is to advocate a wide range of housing options so that all Austinites can afford a home that is close to jobs, family, schools, recreation, and places of worship. The decisions we make today will impact the next 50 years. Austin must act now if we are to preserve - or risk losing forever - the opportunity for a community that includes families of all income levels.
HousingWorks Austin unites community leaders from diverse backgrounds to promote the community value that home affordability is central to the success of Austin employers, schools and neighborhoods over the coming decades as growth continues. Our board includes leaders from all parts of town, and a wide range of cultural heritages, who represent and many economic perspectives.
HousingWorks is a champion for lower income Austinites, in need of affordable homes. In 2007 and 2008, we accomplished the following:
- In 2006, Austin voters passed a $55 million housing bond with 63% of the vote. By 2008, $16 MM has been awarded to 435 deeply affordable homes. Dispersion has been encouraged by new scoring which rewards locations in "high opportunity" areas as defined by the Opportunity Maps completed in 2007. (Link to the Opportunity maps)
- Coordinated the City's home repair providers in order to streamline the process and increase funding for home repairs for seniors and disabled.
- Won City Council support to retain $1 MM in annual funding for Austin's Housing Trust Fund
- Led multiple policy initiatives that have now been adopted to encourage the inclusion of affordable housing in mixed use developments, in Transit Oriented Development zones (TODs), in the Downtown Plan, and in Planned Unit Developments.
- Advocated for the City's Comprehensive Housing Market Study. The Study, recently completed Housing Market Study documents two major supply gaps - low cost rentals (under $425/month) and homeownership opportunities, especially for families in the $100,000 - $200,000 price range.
- Launched a strategic policy partnership with Urban Land Institute (ULI), the Real Estate Council of Austin (RECA), and Austin Area Research Organization (AARO). The group has laid out policy priorities to close Austin's housing gaps and will work to include them in the Comprehensive Plan.
- Held our annual housing summits for the past two years with AISD, igniting a fresh understanding that successful schools require affordable homes. As a direct result, AISD and the City are now developing a new program to provide counseling plus rental assistance to help families who must move to STAY in the same school catchment area.
