Two major Nationwide Series race teams, whose drivers include points leader Elliott Sadler and third-place Austin Dillon, are expected to receive penalties from NASCAR today that could change the face of this season's championship battle.
Sadler currently leads 2011 Nationwide Series champ Ricky Stenhouse Jr. by two points in a tight race, with Dillon 23 points back in third.
But if NASCAR issues severe penalties later today – which is possible after officials ruled the front upper bumper covers for all three Richard Childress Racing cars and all three Turner Motorsports cars were illegally modified at Richmond – then the battle for the points lead would turn dramatically.
In addition to Sadler and Dillon, Turner's Justin Allgaier (seventh in the point standings), could also see his title chances suffer a significant blow.
During Thursday's pre-race inspection at Richmond, officials noticed the upper bumper covers on six cars did not conform to the proper standards.
In the Nationwide Series rulebook, Section 20A-3.10 says "cutting and reshaping of bumper covers will not be permitted" unless authorized by the series director. Obviously, NASCAR felt the bumper covers were improperly reshaped, because officials made all six teams cut the covers off and put new ones on.
While the rulebook does not state what exactly the penalty will be for such infractions, it could potentially be similar to the Sprint Cup Series penalty Jimmie Johnson received, which included suspensions and the loss of 25 driver points.
Sadler said Friday the team was "caught by surprise" when NASCAR informed the group it would have to cut the noses off the car at Richmond.
"It's the same car I've ran twice already this year, so it's been through pre-race inspections and it's been through post-race tear-downs, because we won both races with it," Sadler said.
Even more confusing, he said, is the car passed technical inspection at Richmond – all the templates fit with no issues – but NASCAR later came over to the team when the car was back at the team's hauler and informed it of the violations with no warning.
"I think it was an eye test – they didn't like the visual part of it," Sadler said. "We haven't gotten that far getting an explanation yet. This is the third time we've raced this car, and we haven't really done anything but wipe it down. NASCAR asked us to cut it off, we cut it off."
RCR does not have a technical alliance with Turner, though both teams field Chevrolets. Therefore, the modifications on the bumper covers may not have been the same for each team.
Sadler said the team would "wait and see" what happens today, but said RCR wasn't waiting to hear the result of the penalty decision. The organization decided to be proactive by cutting the noses off all six of its Talladega cars (three primaries and three backups) because the bumper covers were designed the same way as the ones at Richmond.
"All I ask for is when we get to Talladega, everybody better be right," Sadler said. "That's all I ask – just treat everybody the same way."

WEST TOLEDO -- Any time there was rain in the forecast last year, Crawford Avenue residents were nervous, because floodwaters repeatedly filled their basements. But this year should be different. City crews have been working to make sure Crawford Avenue stays dry this year.
After last year's flooding, some said "forget it" and put their houses up for sale. Others, like Mike Hall, plan to stick it out. "I really like it here. Nice neighborhood," said Hall. "Just a bad summer last year."
The city has been working all winter to stop future flooding. Shantee Creek, which overflowed it's banks into the neighborhood, has been cleared of debris. New, larger sewer lines are also being installed which should increase capacity and divert water away from Crawford Avenue. "Unless there is an inordinate amount of rainfall, you sould not expect water in your basement," said Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner. "We're hanging in there."
Lillian Grodi believes Mayor Finkbeiner. "Because I have faith in the city of Toledo in taking care of it and getting it done well," said Grodi. Mike Hall agrees, saying flooding is now the last thing on his mind. "I'm not really worried. Looks as though they have it under control I think," said Hall.
"I hope," said Hall.

Burger King, Sir Mix-A-Lot and Spongebob want you to buy hamburgers
- 2:52 pm Monday, April 13th, 2009 by Allison Ross
I have been incredibly intrigued by Burger King's ad campaign lately. Their ads and promotions have been very, well, interesting. (Remember the burger-scented cologne they were selling?)
Their latest ad campaign in particular has gotten people riled up. The new Burger King commercial features the King (who is sort of creepy, btw) dancing around to a remake of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" along with a bunch of sexy women with … square butts?

For a book-loving child, nothing is more exciting than a row of unread volumes in a newly discovered fiction series. It may sound strange, but it's true: characters in books can become the most reliable friends in a young person's life. A century ago kids were reading the Boxcar Children. Then Tom Swift flew onto the scene with a new invention under each arm. Four generations have cut their teeth on the reckless escapades of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, whose fresh adventures are now packaged to resemble more contemporary favorites, like the Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High.
These days, as everybody knows, the series most young readers are anxiously following is the one featuring the boy with the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. Every Muggle child on Earth, it seems, is walking around with a J.K. Rowling book in his or her hand, talking about Harry and Ron and Hermione as if they sit beside them at school.
Thanks largely to Rowling, who single-handedly inspired the children's bestseller list, fantasy series in general are flourishing. In fact, we've discovered several worthy alternatives to the Potter chronicles. In between updates from Hogwarts, kids can turn to the exciting new series spotlighted below.
Battling the Queen of Elves
Terry Pratchett is the author of, among many other things, the Discworld books, a series set in a crazy world where magic works (sometimes), and children and frogs converse like Monty Python characters. Pratchett's books have sold more than 27 million copies worldwide. An utterly unpredictable author, he seems to have cobbled together Discworld from medieval superstitions, Victorian novels and a host of fairy tales, all of which are filtered through his modern and intelligent sensibility. His books are often both suspenseful and funny. Best of all, he doesn't cushion his satirical punches. In the recent Carnegie Award-winning The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, a cat rants about government, and rats debate what happens after death.
In the latest Discworld volume, The Wee Free Men (HarperCollins, $16.99, 224 pages, ISBN 0060012366), smart young Tiffany Aching finds herself uneasily allied with a wild clan of six-inch-high blue men who help her battle the Queen of the Elves. Along the way, she bests villains, monsters and patronizing adults.
Pratchett's dialogue, as always, is outrageously funny. It's typical of him to put a new spin on classical creatures like fairies and leprechauns. The flying fairies in The Wee Free Men are as scary as the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz, and Pratchett's grimhounds are fully worthy of The Hound of the Baskervilles. But the chief delight here is the character of Tiffany, a tough, bright heroine.
A one-of-a-kind hero
Any child who has wearied of the virtuous and heroic Harry Potter will delight in the subversive series about Artemis Fowl, written by Irish novelist Eoin Colfer. Artemis, it appears, is giving Harry a run for his money. The third installment in his adventures, Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code (Hyperion, $16.95, 336 pages, ISBN 0786819146), has a first printing of 250,000 copies.
Colfer's young hero is a genius, a criminal mastermind who concocts world-class schemes usually involving stolen Fairy technology. It's easy to imagine the pleasure a young reader will have following his newest escapades. The Eternity Code is a wild tale replete with spies, high-tech inventions, unreliable magic and military centaurs. Artemis' adventures occur all over Earth and, not surprisingly, elsewhere. This time around, the young whiz has constructed a supercomputer from Fairy secrets that, of course, he stole. Does he pay for his crimes? In misadventures, yes.
A cross between Han Solo, Harry Potter and Encyclopedia Brown, Artemis is a one-of-a-kind. With such a wild inheritance Colfer's novels seldom veer toward cliché. His books are long and solid and, like Pratchett's, they lack illustrations. These are stories for older readers who are ready to sink their teeth into a meaty novel.
The amazing Graces
Tony DiTerlizzi is the artist responsible for last year's acclaimed picture book The Spider and the Fly. Before tackling children's books, he illustrated games such as Dungeons & Dragons and the trading card series Magic the Gathering. Lately, he has focused his talents on a five-book series co-created with fantasy novelist Holly Black. "The Spiderwick Chronicles," a new series from Simon and Schuster, tell the story of the three Grace siblings—twins Jared and Simon and their older sister Mallory. When their parents divorce, they move with their mother into a relative's decrepit old house. Jared, the trouble-prone underachiever, is the viewpoint character. In the attic he finds a field guide to faeries and soon sees evidence of them all around—the premise upon which the books are based.
The first two Spiderwick entries are The Field Guide and The Seeing Stone ($9.95, 128 pages, ISBN 0689859376). The first suspenseful volume lays the necessary groundwork and permits the reader to eavesdrop on Jared's initial puzzling discoveries. Packed with misadventures that will inspire sympathy in readers, both books are fast-paced, with line drawings and full-color paintings that are richly detailed. This fall, the Grace kids' adventures will continue with the publication of Lucinda's Secret.
A dreadful scene
The first book in a trilogy by popular children's author Philip Ardagh, A House Called Awful End stars 11-year-old Eddie Dickens. The first sentence will pull in readers who enjoy Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket: "When Eddie Dickens was eleven years old, both his parents caught some awful disease that made them turn yellow, go a bit crinkly around the edges, and smell of old hot-water bottles." The hero is named Dickens for a reason. The story takes place in a kind of cartoon-Dickensian London, and Eddie runs into enough misfortunes and eccentrics for an Oliver Twist or a David Copperfield.
Dreadful Acts (Henry Holt, $14.95, 144 pages, ISBN 0805071555), the sequel to Awful End, has just been published, and the third installment in the series will arrive in the fall. Although it lacks the wit and sophistication of the Discworld and Artemis Fowl tales, the series is endlessly jokey and playful. Many a child will laugh aloud at parenthetical snide remarks, and the illustrations by David Roberts have a very contemporary spookiness. Like the other series, the Eddie Dickens books make the human race look alarmingly freakish, which, as these authors understand, is pretty much how kids view the adult world.

In [cf2]Guide[cf1], siblings Jared, Simon, and Mallory discover a mysterious book about magical creatures and an enigmatic brownie. In [cf2]Stone[cf1], Jared and Mallory rescue Simon from a band of goblins, meeting a dangerous troll, a hobgoblin, and an injured griffin along the way. The individual books don't stand alone and the first mostly sets the stage, but the writing is fast paced and action-packed. Retro black-and-white spot art adds atmosphere.

Kirkus Reviews 2003 April #2
Unexplained things are happening in the eerie Victorian heap that is new home to the Grace family. Rustlings in the decrepit walls lead the three children, to discover and destroy the nest of a Brownie and to locate, in Arthur Spiderwick's secret library, his Field Guide to the Fantastical World, which details the habits of faeries. The infuriated Brownie exacts retribution in hateful ways: knotting Mallory's long hair to her headboard and freezing animal-loving Simon's tadpoles into ice cubes. The children mollify the Brownie by building him another home, but against his warnings that harm will result, keep the Field Guide. Book 2 (The Seeing Stone, 0-689-95937-6) steps up the peril: the unheeded warnings lead to Simon's kidnapping by a roving gang of goblins. His siblings gain The Sight by means of a small stone lens (and efficacious goblin spit rubbed into the eyes) and succeed in rescuing him. Cleverly marketed as too dangerous to read, handsomely designed, and extravagantly illustrated this packs quite a punch. Readers who are too young to read Harry Potter independently will find these have just the right amount of menace laced with appealing humor and are blessed with crisp pacing and, of course, DiTerlizzi's enticingly Gothic illustrations.

Publishers Weekly Review 2003 April #2
This snappy story, the inaugural title in The Spiderwick Chronicles, sets the scene for the next four books planned. The authors introduce the three Grace siblings-13-year-old Mallory and nine-year-old twins Jared and Simon-and their recently divorced mother, who move into their great-aunt's dilapidated Victorian house. The paper-over-board volume opens to a Victorian-style design; a full-page, framed pen-and-ink scene appears opposite each chapter opening (with clever headings such as "In Which There Are Answers, Though Not Necessarily to the Right Questions"). After Jared hears scuttling inside the walls, Mallory pokes a broom through a kitchen wall and discovers a "nest" filled with unusual trinkets-a doll's head, tiny lead soldiers, bits of tattered fabric-plus one of her own fencing medals. Jared encounters more mystery when a dumbwaiter carries him to a doorless upstairs library. Here he spies a yellowing riddle in rhyme (reproduced on a glossy insert), which leads him to the attic and ultimately to Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You-a handbook to the faerie realm. Often in trouble, Jared gets the blame for some odd occurrences (e.g., Mallory awakens to find her hair tied in knots around her headboard, Simon's tadpoles are frozen into ice cubes, etc.). Appealing characters, well-measured suspense and an inviting package will lure readers on to The Seeing Stone (-85937-6), due the same month. Youngsters may well find themselves glancing over their shoulders as they eagerly follow the events. Ages 6-10. (May) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
School Library Journal Reviews 2003 July
Gr 3-6-As this new series begins, Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace move with their mother into their Great-Aunt Lucinda's old, decaying house, where they discover a secret room. A poetic clue leads Jared to a book that offers detailed information about the different types of magical creatures that live in our world. After the inadvertent destruction of the home and treasures of the boggart who inhabits the room leads to increasingly more malicious tricks, Jared is blamed. With the help of the Field Guide, the boy realizes that the small creature is at fault and is able to pacify him. Thimbletack warns Jared and his siblings that reading the book will only lead to trouble, which is what comes to pass in the second volume, when Simon is kidnapped by goblins, leaving Jared and Mallory to come to his rescue. Details like Thimbletack's tiny house, Jared's use of a dumbwaiter to discover the hidden room, and the fights against the goblins will catch readers' attention. However, the Grace children stand out only for surface characteristics like Simon's many pets and Mallory's passion for fencing. Adult characters remain offstage or exist only to discipline and disbelieve the children. The many text-enhancing black-and-white drawings give the "Spiderwick Chronicles" a look that resembles Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (HarperCollins), and the presentation as based on the Grace children's factual story as told to the authors gives it a similar tone, which should add to the books' appeal. While the characters' lack of depth detracts from the quality of these titles, the fast, movielike pace will grab young readers.-Beth L. Meister, Yeshiva of Central Queens, Flushing, NY Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
VOYA Reviews 2003 August
Nine-year-old Jared Grace would have been kicked out of school for breaking that kid's nose, but his family was already moving away. Since their father left them, Jared, his twin brother, Simon, and their thirteen-year-old sister, Mallory, have no choice but to move with their mother to Spiderwick Estate, her elderly Aunt Lucinda's wretchedly decayed mansion. Jared is the one who first discovers the supernatural elements lingering in the old place, but who will believe him after all the trouble he has been causing? Gradually, all three children are pulled into the adventures, which involve boggarts, goblins, griffins, and other assorted mystical beings. Field Guide is the first volume of The Spiderwick Chronicles. It establishes the family dynamics and introduces the reader to the possibilities of otherworldly beings. It is not necessary to read the first volume before the second, because everything is quickly recapped at the start of the second book. Seeing Stone is less subtle in tone, as the children begin an active battle against goblins, develop an affiliation with a griffin, and outwit a troll. The real magic of this series, however, is in the illustrations. Nearly every second page is embellished with the ink drawings of DiTerlizzi, evoking a delicious classical sense in this modern fantasy. Black, author of Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale (Simon & Schuster, 2002/VOYA October 2002), keeps the dialogue snappy and the children's personalities distinct. The series' intended audience seems to be the Lemony Snicket crowd, a little younger than the general young adult market. Nevertheless, the series will surely develop a devoted following, particularly with avid fantasy readers.-Diane Emge. Illus. 3Q 4P M Copyright 2003 Voya Reviews

I don't have a child at Village, but it's troubling to me that PW has flat ignored their graduating class. These are not throw away students and those that graduated deserve to be mentioned just as the others. These graduates worked hard too.
on Jun 15, 2013 at 6:51 pm
Another mom, there's nothing stopping you from posting the list of attendees from village...go for it.
on Jun 15, 2013 at 11:40 pm
Although there's no student list here, if you scroll through all the photos that accompany the report, you'll see that there are several photos of students who spoke at the Village and Horizon graduation ceremonies.
on Jun 15, 2013 at 11:49 pm
Correction: Sorry - I was mistaken. There aren't actually any photos of the Horizon students. But I know that in the past PW has given Horizon some very encouraging and favorable coverage. And at least two photos have been added since I first saw the report, so perhaps more photos will follow.
on Jun 15, 2013 at 11:57 pm
Still no list of graduates. My kids don't go there and I'm sure for privacy reasons they can't hand the list to a random person without a student that attends there. If PW has the resources for the other two then its wrong to ignore village and horizon as just throw away kids. Imagine graduating while been a teen with an infant. I congratulate these student for giving their kids the gift of life and think this should be recognized. These kids mean something to their families just as the others do. POST THE LISTS.
on Jun 16, 2013 at 7:39 am
@min. PW posted the list of graduates from all 4 schools days ago.

As a parent who volunteered for the Amador grad night party at Club Sport, I would like to comment on how well the Class of 2013 represented themselves at Club Sport. What a great group of students. Here's to a bright future for this class. Amador Valley will sorely miss them, along with the departure of Principal Jim Hansen.
on Jun 17, 2013 at 11:31 am
yeah my school has been sorely missing my graduating class going on 25 years now. probably one of the best FHS EVER produced!

Once again it is fire season in California, and unfortunately the Rim Fire near Yosemite is burning uncontained. As we watch the news or see the smoke gathering on the horizon, it is important to remember the individuals who are running towards those fires, rather than away. California's firefighters put their own safety on the line to protect our lives and our homes. Currently, there are more than 2,000 firefighters in Tuolumne County battling the Rim Fire.
These brave men and women are in my thoughts and prayers.

Taxpayers Speak Out Against Unjust Fire Tax
For the second time in as many years, the State of California is mailing hundreds of thousands of fire tax bills to rural Californians who live in the so-called State Responsibility Area. The bills are hitting mailboxes even as the class action lawsuit I'm backing has finally received a green light to move forward.
As Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association is fond of saying, "the wheels of justice grind slowly." Although I believe the lawsuit against the fire tax will ultimately prevail, it appears the trial won't be until next year at the earliest.
Delayed justice means that hundreds of thousands of rural Californians, whether they can afford it or not, must write another check for up to $150 per habitable structure to the State of California to pay this unfair and unjust tax.

Join the Fire Fee Tele-Townhall
On Wednesday, August 28 at 6:00 p.m. and Tuesday, September 17 at 6:00 p.m. I will be holding two additional telephone townhalls about the confusing and controversial Fire Prevention Fee. These will be the last in a series of regional telephone townhalls I have held for taxpayers throughout my District.
The first townhall will be for residents of Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera and Tulare counties. The September 17 event will be held for residents of Mariposa, Merced, Mono, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties.
These townhalls are co-sponsored by State Senators Tom Berryhill, Anthony Cannella and Steve Knight, and Assemblymembers Connie Conway, Frank Bigelow, Kristin Olsen, Shannon Grove, Jim Patterson and Scott Wilk. During the calls we will discuss the latest fire "fee" news, including the lawsuit and pending legislation, and answer questions from callers.
Members of the public who would like to participate should register at least 24 hours in advance by visiting boe.ca.gov/townhall or by calling (916) 445-3032 for the August 28 event or (916) 324-4970 for the September 17 event. Taxpayers who pre-register will receive a telephone call at the start of the event inviting them to connect to the townhall.
I know many individuals share my concern about the fairness and cost of this tax. These townhalls are an important way to connect with my constituents, answer their questions, provide information and discuss issues and problems with the fee. I hope you can join us!
Fewer Elected Officials Could Cost Taxpayers More
In a recent piece published online at Fox & Hounds Daily, Joel Fox reminds us of the 1996 Constitutional Revision Commission, on which he served.
He recalls the Commission's recommendation to eliminate a number of California's elected offices, including the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Insurance Commissioner, the Treasurer and the State Board of Equalization. In the Commission's plan, most of these positions would still exist, but the Governor rather than voters would choose who serves in them.
One might assume fewer elected officials would translated into significant savings for taxpayers. In some instances that may be the case.
But when it comes to taxes, and who we trust to administer them, Joel is 100% correct. It is imperative that whoever oversees California's numerous tax and fee programs be directly accountable to voters.
The three letters, I, R and S, should prove my case.
Taxpayer Alert
Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with Calaveras County Taxpayer Association President Al Segalla on his new show Taxpayer Alert to discuss the role of the Board of Equalization, the latest news on the Fire Fee and the importance of being commited to taxpayer rights.

Tax Tip
Q - What types of records must my business retain?
A - If you hold a California seller's permit, you are required to maintain business records to verify that you have properly paid tax. You should keep all records required to determine your correct sales and use tax liability, including normal books of account that show your business income and expenses; documents of original entry, such as invoices, receipts, job orders, purchase orders, contracts, or other documents used as the basis for your books of account; and all schedules or working papers used in preparing your sales and use tax returns.
You can learn more about BOE's record requirements by reading Publication 116.

CLOVER — The Bi-Lo grocery store that opened Friday in Clover, where a Piggly Wiggly closed just weeks earlier, has attracted a lot of traffic from customers eager to check out the new store.
The store at 136 Main St. opened with new signage and featured familiar faces and products, Bi-Lo officials said.
"We are excited to welcome this new Bi-Lo store to the South Carolina market," said Sam Blaiss, Central region vice president for Bi-Lo stores. "We invite shoppers to visit the store and learn more about Bi-Lo's money-saving programs and quality products."
Tanya Pettus, who has already shopped at the store twice, said the store has been the subject of a lot of excited talk around Clover, and the parking lot has been busy.
"I think it's a good change, because Clover residents are so used to the Pig," she said about the longtime Piggly Wiggly store. "Everyone is excited about it."
The Clover location is one of 22 stores in South Carolina and coastal Georgia that Bi-Lo purchased earlier this year from Piggly Wiggly.
The Piggly Wiggly store closed Nov. 9.
Calvin Rash, district director of Bi-Lo stores for York County, said sales at the Clover store have been brisk. He said business has "doubled and tripled" from what the Piggly Wiggly was doing.
"We have been very pleased with the sales so far," Rash said. "The customers expressed their appreciation. They really came out to the store."
Rash said Bi-Lo didn't take on a full remodel for the store opening, but it did make some cosmetic improvements, both inside and outside.
The inventory now includes about 1,400 Southern Home products and about 70 to 100 more varieties of produce, he said.
Kim Meets of Clover, who shopped at the new store this week, said she thought it featured a better selection of both meat and produce.
Jennifer Williams of Clover agreed, although she thought some of the prices were a bit higher. "It's got a good selection. A lot more fruits and vegetables than the Piggly Wiggly. It just looks better."
In addition to the variety of products shoppers at the new Bi-Lo can register for the company's value programs, including the fuelperks! fuel rewards program which allows customers to earn gas savings every time they shop with their My Bi-Lo bonus card.
Bi-Lo also touts its "price lock" program that freezes the prices on hundreds of essential items over an extended period.
"While the name on the store has changed, what has not is what matters most – providing shoppers with friendly customer service and the freshest foods at the greatest prices, while giving back to the neighborhoods BI-LO serves," Blaiss said.
Bi-Lo Holdings LLC, which purchased the Clover store, is the parent company of the Bi-Lo and Winn-Dixie grocery chains.

I got an N70 a few months ago and I installed the new music player on it (the one that is shipped in the music editions of various smartphones). Thing is, it doesnt "blend in" to the stand-by mode (like the original player), so i have to constantly switch to it to change tracks and what not.
So, I wanted to uninstall it - but it doesnt appear in the uninstall list...
What can I do to delete it? or at least switch back the default file-association of mp3's to the original player?
Do I need to format my device for it? and if so, how do i do that?
thanks in advance..

President, Air Transport Employees Local Lodge 1781, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
Beginning in 2003 with the declaration of bankruptcy by United Airlines (UAL), air carriers have been on a sustained three-year campaign to permanently lower wages and benefits of over 250,000 unionized workers in the airline industry.
In these three short years, over a half-dozen carriers, including four of five so-called majors, have followed UAL's pattern of using a bankruptcy court to extract excruciatingly painful concessions. These concessions would otherwise have been impossible to impose through traditional collective bargaining.
While the standard of living of airline workers has been devastated rapidly and without precedent in the industry, we are not alone. Millions of American workers face termination of pensions, reduction of wages and loss of benefits. Meanwhile, corporate executives responsible for taking a wrecking ball to our dreams for a secure future and retirement give themselves windfall pensions and bonuses.
At AT& T, for example, 1,000 of its most highly paid executives claim 45 percent of its pension expenses, as the Wall Street Journal reported on June 26, 2006. The other 55 percent of pension money has to cover 189,000 employees. Is it hyperbole in the face of such facts to suggest the imagery of pigs at the trough?
Yet while our benefits in every sector of the economy fall like dominoes, American workers face these battles in relative isolation from each other. It ought to be the ABC of wisdom that the issues we face in common should be addressed in common. The attacks on our livelihood should be met by a wall of solidarity, guided by action campaigns based on the old idea that 'an injury to one is an injury to all.'
Instead, we are distracted from focusing on this unity because our political efforts are mostly concentrated in campaigning for Democratic Party candidates, in the false hope that they will bail us out of our troubles.
Ironically, labor is most united only during election campaigns.
This has been the case for decades. It's also the biggest factor leading to our decline. Truth be told, all we have ever found in the corporate politicians of the two major parties are empty promises. How much longer should we watch labor's solutions to our problems dramatically modified or cast aside because our 'friends' in Congress believe them to be unrealistic?
We need to define labor politics more broadly than simply supporting Democratic Party candidates. We need the strength and unity of the labor movement to be expressed in renewed action in defense of our rights and living standards. Direct action politics is what originally built our unions, through the judicious use of demonstrations, rallies, strikes, pickets, and coalition building. Direct action politics is also what will revive our unions.
I am for speaking in labor's own distinct name to the American people. I am for making labor's unique perspective on the issues of the day a voice powerful enough it can no longer be relegated to the sidelines by those who want to portray us as some narrow 'special interest.'
There are 120 million American workers who deserve a labor movement that defines itself on its own terms, unafraid to buck the established parties. There is an endless list of grievances suffered by the American people.
The Voice of Labor has to become audible in the public debate over all the issues of vital concern to the American people. That's the first step. We spend more money and time speaking to the 500 members of Congress than we do to 120 million American workers.
It bears repeating: We have to raise our voice. Labor's program is unknown to the average worker. It's the best kept secret in America. That has to change.
In fact, both the AFL-CIO and CTW have a program to protect jobs, for an increase in the minimum wage, for single-payer health care and for expansion of social security. Labor has a program for funding human needs through corporate taxation, for enforcing trade union rights and for the rights of immigrant workers, and for ending the oil-soaked, lying war in Iraq.
This is a program and a vision that potentially will resonate with millions of workers. But to translate this program into inspiration in the streets and on the job, we in the labor movement have to begin to see ourselves as a social movement, as an impassioned social and political movement fighting for the cause of labor justice.
We can convince millions about labor's program with a massive educational campaign. Brochures, videos and forums are some of our tools. There are others. We will invent new tools.
But we begin with ideas in defense of the working class; ideas undiluted by legislative compromise. That is how movements take seed.
I propose regular coalition building by unions with community, religious, women's, civil rights and peace and justice groups. In this way, we can sponsor educational forums that give us opportunities to voice ideas, analysis, and political solutions that represent the vision and perspective of the labor movement.
Out of these efforts will possibly and hopefully develop new allies to broaden labor's political base. This will be essential to mobilizing solidarity actions when the next group of workers are targeted by a corporation.
The past months have been truly exceptional in the political life of this country. On March 10, 2006, a mass mobilization in Chicago of up to 300,000 people ignited a New Civil Rights Movement in support of immigrant rights.
This march was the product of a series of meetings and initiatives by a coalition of immigrant right activists and trade unionists who gathered earlier this year in Chicago and cities in Southern California.
We should feel inspired and galvanized by the birth of this new movement. It's a lesson to us that the time is right to step up and broaden our efforts to build stronger ties between labor and the larger working- class communities.

Anglesey Independents must prove themselves - Plaid
Plaid Cymru is the largest political party on Anglesey council and had hoped to form a coalition to lead the authority. The island's AM, Ieuan Wyn Jones, and Plaid's council leader Bob Parry have issued a joint statement.
We are naturally disappointed that Labour has decided to form a coalition as the junior partner with the independents, something they said during the election that they would not do.
However, we now wish the new administration well. They will be judged by their performance with regards to care services, education, services for the elderly and vulnerable and other vital services provided on a local level.
The Plaid Cymru group on the council will play its part in ensuring that the people of Anglesey have a responsible opposition. We will hold the new administration to account and the electorate can be sure that we will always seek to ensure the best for the people of the island.
Our view is that Anglesey needs a stable administration to ensure that the island retains its own identity as a separate council. The independent-led administration needs to demonstrate that it is up to the task, something previous independent groups have failed to do.

Posted May 29, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bob Dylan
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will honor a diverse cross-section of political and cultural icons - including former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, astronaut John Glenn, basketball coach Pat Summitt and rock legend Bob Dylan - with the Medal of Freedom at a White House ceremony Tuesday. The Medal of Freedom is the nation's highest civilian honor. It's presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the national interests of the United States, to world peace or to other significant endeavors. Other recipients this year include: -Toni Morrison, author of such novels as ''Song of Solomon'' and ''Beloved.'' -John Paul Stevens, former Supreme Court Justice. -Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts. -Shimon Peres, former president of Israel. -John Doar, who handled civil rights cases as assistant attorney general in the 1960s. -William Foege, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who helped lead the effort to eradicate smallpox. -Gordon Hirabayashi, who fought the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. -Jan Karski, a resistance fighter against the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War II. -Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers of America. Albright was the first woman to hold the top U.S. diplomatic job, while Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. Summitt led the University of Tennessee women's basketball team to more NCAA Final Four appearances than any other team. And Dylan's vast catalog of songs includes such rock classics as ''Like a Rolling Stone,'' ''Blowin' in the Wind'' and ''Mr. Tambourine Man.''

Happy New Year Ole - .. I don't know you RMMC but happy new year too.
When I was 20, I spent my junior year in college in England. When classes let out for the last two weeks of December, I traveled to Morocco, where something life-changing occurred.
What happened was that I felt a longing, even an emptiness, I had never before experienced. Something was missing from my life, but I could not at first identify it. I knew it was not about being without friends or family -- after all, I hadn't been with family or friends for the previous three months. And it wasn't about being alone -- I had gotten used to...

Day 16: Avon Foundation for Women
Avon Foundation for Women is dedicated to programs, services, and education that helps prevent violence against women. To date, they have donated almost $60 million to support programs and efforts across the world to address the widespread issue of gender-based violence.
Every minute, 24 people are victimized by an intimate partner through rape, physical violence or stalking in the United States alone. Over the course of a year, that means more than 12 million women and men will suffer immediate injury, as well as long-term physical, psychological and social consequences.
To further their work to prevent violence against women, Avon Foundation for Women launched #SeeTheSigns, social media campaign to educate people about the signs of domestic violence. The initiative was timed during 16 Days of Activism and featured visual depictions of signs that domestic violence may be occurring.
Throughout the 16 Days of Activism, Avon Foundation for Women rolled out one "sign" across social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. The graphics were distributed wide and far on social media, helping to spread awareness of domestic abuse.
To learn more about #SeeTheSigns and other innovative communications campaigns that are working to end violence against women around the world, visit the Communications X-Change.

The Edinburgh Festival is annually the world's largest arts jamboree; the fringe alone this year had nearly 2,700 shows to choose from, all crammed into a three-week period, in an non-curated free-for-all (and many of them increasingly all for free, too, as the free fringe expands and putting on theatre turns into a form of busking where the hat is passed around after the show). I went direct from seeing 31 shows in a week at Edinburgh earlier this month to Stratford, Ontario, where an altogether more manageable, and also ultimately more satisfying, festival awaits every year, too: the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
I saw 11 out of the 14 shows in this year's wide-ranging program, that stretches from Shakespeare to Schulz's Peanuts (a production of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown), by way of Sophocles (Elektra) and Gilbert and Sullivan (The Pirates of Penzance), plus a new Canadian play and musical, and two solo turns from a big Canadian star actor Christopher Plummer and an unknown one Alon Nashman. I was there for only five-and-a-half days, yet managed to take in so much because this is a true repertory festival, with performances twice daily in each of the three main houses, plus a Studio Theatre.
|photo by David Hou
And that is in a town with a resident population of just 32,000, for a season that runs for nearly seven months. This is North America's single largest classical producing theatre, unrivaled by any city in the USA, and it attracts (and depends on) visitors from across Canada and the USA to fill its seats; but once bitten, you're bound to be smitten, and a large proportion of its visitors are returnees.
I went for the first time last year and fell in love straight away; which was better late than never, as this year the festival celebrates the 60th anniversary of its founding in 1952, before beginning operations in 1953 in a giant canvas tent. Just five years later, its mainstage thrust-stage auditorium, built to resemble the tent that preceded it, opened, having employed the visionary Tyrone Guthrie as its first artistic director. That was both an amazing leap of civic faith in the power of theatre to regenerate a local economy, and the belief that if you build it, they will come.
The global theatrical legacy of this building has stretched from Minneapolis (where Guthrie has a theatre named after him) to Britain's Chichester Festival Theatre (which was modeled on Stratford) and New York's Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center, and it has been a mixed blessing. I'm not sure that there's really a replacement for a conventional proscenium auditorium, where everyone is experiencing the same direct view, even if some people are inevitably closer to the action than others.
But neither is there any substitute for the excitement and sense of industry that permeates a town like this that is focused so strongly on a theatre plant at its center. You feel that the whole place revolves around it, and that it is now rooted into its very fabric. There's also a wonderful sense of theatrical continuity here, with actors like Brian Bedford and Christopher Plummer who have made Stratford their main theatrical home.Continued...

My daughter searched for months for an iron bed that had antique style without the antique price. We also wanted a bed sturdy enough for a teenager who flops on the bed rather than sits calmly! The bed is a perfect blend of style and function for a very reasonable price. It was very easy to assemble. My husband never reads, directions and he got it together quickly and without leftover parts!
I really love this bed it gives a great vintage feel. We are using it in our guest bedroom with a nautical theme and it looks amazing. It is a little darker in person, almost black. I used lighter colored linens so it helps lighten it up. I'm really disappointed that the bed had some really bad scratches right out of the box!
This bed is well made and easy to put together. It has a classic old American look. I plan on putting a quilt on it. Shipped quickly in two boxes. One of the holes in the footboard was missing threading so it would not accept the bolt; however, this did not affect anything in terms of sturdiness or stability of the bed frame. I just left the bolt out on that end. I'm sure this was a minor defect on this bed only and Overstock would have easily accepted the bed back (they are great on returns/exchanges), I just didn't want to bother shipping the entire bed back for such a minor, irrelevant defect. Overall, this bed is a great deal and looks great in my guest room.
Ordered this bed last week and received it and put it together this week. Super easy to put together (took 20 minutes total). It's so stylish and fun. A great deal too. I would highly recommend this bed.
Overall, it's a sturdy, heavy bed frame that will do the job well- I was pleased to see the center supports. Looks similar to the photo, though the finish is a little more brown than you'd be led to believe from the images. I'm okay with it- not a deal breaker- but worth being warned about. Arrived in two boxes, no damage, plenty of foam packed in. I'm generally pleased, and feel it was a good buy, even with the finish not being as I had expected.
We looked at dozens of beds and finally decided to get this one. It is the perfect mix of style, function and comes in under budget which leaves more money for throw pillows! Seriously, we have at least 8 pillows on the bed and I can't figure out why. Either way, this bed is great, shipping took about a week and a half but everything arrived in good condition.
We got this bed for our 13 year old son and we love it! Its not excellent quality bed but it is nice for the price. and it seems very sturdy.
I am trying to recreate a vintage looking basement bedroom and this bed fits perfectly with the style and era it came from. Very pleased and happy with this purchase.
We bought this bed for a summer cottage and it works perfectly with the cottage decor. Easy to put together and well built. Will accommodate standard or low profile box springs and any height of mattress. No bedskirt needed!!!
I love this bed! It was easy to assemble and looks beautiful. quality materials as well. very happy and would recommend!

VICE 19: Crude Awakening & The Enemy of My Enemy
Duration :
Summary: "Crude Awakening" (correspondent: Shane Smith) - More than 200 million gallons of oil surged into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. To combat the worst environmental disaster in American history, BP and the Coast Guard dumped nearly 2 million gallons of a chemical dispersant called Corexit into the Gulf. But instead of helping clean up the spill, Corexit made things worse. The seafood industry is decimated, and clean-up workers have developed debilitating respiratory and central nervous-system problems, along with skin rashes. Scientific studies have proven that Corexit exposure kills cells in the human airway, and makes oil 52 times more toxic to the environment. Four years later, mass quantities of oil still wash ashore, and our government has done nothing to ban this dangerous chemical dispersant. Shane Smith heads to Louisiana to report on the lasting effects of the BP oil spill. "The Enemy of My Enemy" (correspondent: Ben Anderson) - Yemen, the fractured state in the Arabian peninsula, is at the top of the worry list for President Obama's national security team, and the rise of Al Qaeda there is only half the reason why. The Yemeni government, an American ally, has lost so much control over the years that many U.S. officials consider Yemen a failed state, declaring it the "next Afghanistan." The real trouble is a current threat posed by the little-known Houthi rebel movement in the north of the country - a grassroots army, allegedly funded by Iran, that has never granted access to any other Western film crew before. Ben Anderson goes deep into Houthi-controlled territory to learn about the group that's fighting, and beating, Al Qaeda in the east, Saudi Arabia in the north, and Yemen's central government in the south.

A number of events surrounding the annual New York International Auto Show called upon Scharff Weisberg to fill their AV and lighting needs. The company supported the presentations of Saturn, Volvo and Cadillac.
Saturns press event, previewing new model cars to be unveiled at the Auto Show, was held at the Milk Gallery on West 15th Street. Produced by Aquila Productions, New York, the evening featured a three-screen video presentation supported by Scharff Weisberg.
Designed for Dataton WATCHOUT playback, the presentation included custom material encoded by Scharff Weisbergs Media Resource Center. To display the content Scharff Weisberg hung plasma screens from trusses, which were dressed with white fabric covers to help the structures blend in with the photography studios primarily white interior. A small mixer and 4 channels of wireless mics supplemented Milk Gallerys own sound system; power distribution for video and lighting was also supplied.
Scharff Weisberg Lighting provided a large lighting complement for the evening. Giant photo murals showing details of the Saturn vehicles, hung around the perimeter of the space, were lit with Altman Mini 10s. Closed at the start of the event, a scrim bisecting the Gallery was illuminated with Color Kinetics Color Blast 12s for color-changing effects prior to the vehicles reveal. ETC Source Four 36-degree ellipsoidals streaked break up gobos on the fabric.
After the scrim was pulled back to unveil the cars the new Saturns were showcased with ARRI 650 fresnels; ARRI 300 fresnel specials were poised by each wheel to light the hubcaps. The stage where VIP speakers addressed the press was lit by additional Source 4 ellipsoidals. All of the fixtures were controlled by an ETC 48 sensor pack and an ETC Express 250 console.
Walter Elzey was Scharff Weisbergs senior account executive for the evening with Randy Briggs manning WATCHOUT. Dennis Minard was event manager for Scharff Weisberg Lighting; Betsy Adams of Blue Hill Design, Inc. in New York was the lighting designer and Edmond Deraedt was production electrician.
A second Saturn event, this one open to the public, took place later that same evening at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square where two new cars, one at street level and one perched atop the Hard Rock marquee, were introduced.
Scharff Weisberg furnished a Sony DXC-D50 wireless camera package, with 33:1 lens, which was positioned on Military Island between Broadway and 7th Avenue. A scissor lift raised the videographer above the crowd to capture live shots fed to two LED walls, one at street level and one inside the Cafe where the signals were also distributed to plasma monitors around the eatery.
For the video playback Scharff Weisberg provided a Barco Folsom Screen Pro II scaling switcher, Barco Encore controller, Beta SP playback and record, GV Turbo for content playback, and additional playback monitors. A Folsom Image Pro HD scaler fed 16:9 SDI signals to the LED walls; composite video signals were distributed to the Cafes plasma monitors.
The chief challenge for the event involved setting up the control gear behind the Hard Rock Cafes marquee which required climbing a spiral staircase. No easy cart roll ins there! Walter Elzey was senior account executive for the event.
The fourth annual Volvo for Life Awards, held in Rockefeller Centers famed Rainbow Room, also featured equipment from Scharff Weisberg. Produced by FB Productions, the ceremony recognized and rewarded three everyday hero finalists and named Ethiopian-born heart surgeon Dr. Inginda Asfaw as Americas Greatest Hometown Hero. Benjamin Bratt served as emcee for the evening, which had Avril Lavigne, the Harlem Gospel Choir and Johanna Gard headlining.
Scharff Weisberg provided four Barco R12 projectors, double converged; four 50-inch and four 42-inch NEC plasma screens; a Barco Folsom Screen Pro II switching system; and a GV Kayak switcher for displaying speaker IMAG, a graphics tape loop and video clips. HD content was played back from DoReMi HDDRs. Two Sony DXC-D50 WSL 16:9 cameras from Scharff Weisberg captured the IMAG footage.
Audio gear included a Yamaha PM5D mixer for front of house, a Yamaha M7CL monitor mix, Meyer M1D speakers with Meyer 700HP subwoofers, and a dozen channels of Sennheiser wireless mics.
Scharff Weisberg worked directly with General Motors to support the Cadillac Northeast Regional Dealers Dinner at the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center with a complement of display and video playback equipment, including two 10.5'x14' screens; four Barco R10 projectors, double converged; a Folsom Screen Pro II switcher; and a DVD player.
Guy Bostian was Scharff Weisbergs event manager for both the Volvo for Life Awards ceremony and the Cadillac dealers dinner.

Charlie Rangel dedicated public servant
Charles Dumas
Congressman Charles Rangel is a good and honorable man.
But last week he stood in front of the House of Representatives as his colleagues voted 333-79 to publicly humiliate him in a formal censure.
Censure is an action used only 22 other times in American history to punish such crimes as bribery and supporting the Confederacy. The last time such a drastic action was taken against a sitting member was in 1983 when a couple of congressmen were censured for having sexual relations with House pages.
In the past, many other members have committed crimes. Though they were convicted by the courts, they were not censured by Congress.
Rangel was accused of failure to pay back taxes on a vacation villa and soliciting donations for a center being built in his honor.
When the tragic ritual concluded, Rangel simply said, "I know in my heart that I am not going to be judged by this Congress but I am going to judged by my life."
Shakespeare wrote, "the evil that men do lives on after, the good is oft interred with their bones."
Rangel, after dropping out of high school and serving in Korea, used the GI Bill to go to college and law school. He became a renowned prosecutor before entering politics. In 1970, he ran against the legendary Adam Clayton Powell. In 1967, Congress had voted to exclude Powell charging him with corruption. Powell was re-elected in 1968. In 1970, Rangel beat him.
Rangel has represented the people of Harlem for 40 years. He has also been the titular black political leader. He has fought for the disadvantaged and distressed people of our country.
As a ranking member and then chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rangel stood at the mouth of the cave, often alone, facing the dragons threatening to destroy the village. He gallantly fought to save the gains from the civil rights movement, which were under attack; the National Voting Rights Act of 1965, Legal Services, NEA, EEOC, and others.
I worked for him as an intern caseworker in his Washington office in 1975. My job was to try to find relief for constituents in need. But for Rangel, the congressman from Harlem and for a time the head of the Congressional Black Caucus, the country's entire black community was his constituency. He was always accessible to the people and never hesitated to speak truth to power.
I don't believe that a life can be represented by what is inscribed on a stone or scribbled on an edict. Life is more like a container of water. Its nature and composition depend on and reflect back all the things, which have been poured into it.
Rangel's life contains some unpleasant sediment, yes, but it runneth over because it has been filled to the brim with commitment to public service and goodness.
"Good is oft interred with their bones." Let it not be so with Charlie Rangel.

Gunn 16-year-old died in car crash early July 6

Here is the url for KARA, a local organization that assists kids and adults with handling grief. It's run by a wonderful group of people.
Web Link
Hope you can find some comfort.
on Jul 7, 2006 at 7:20 pm
I already contacted them and they have a teen group that meets every 1st and 3rd Tuesday but you have to be referred (a parent has to be interviewed by staff). I will try to get the teens to agree to go (Thanks for the info). I am wondering how many other parents are dealing with young teens drinking and driving (or just drinking). I am so upset about my teen's involvement, but finding it hard to stop it. We talk about it, but don't imprison the child in the house - when they are out we don't know what they are doing.
on Jul 7, 2006 at 8:18 pm
I guess having a designated driver may be the best hope. Maybe that person could make a video of everybody who's drinking, and the embarrassment may suffice as a deterrent!
I think I read that AAA provides a ride home wihin a certain distance for drivers under the influence, even nonmembers.
I'm sure kids know what choices they have--adults too--but alcohol erases good judgment along with the inclination to make a good choice.
I don't know the circumstances of Garth Li's death, but my heart goes out to his parents, and to his younger sister, and all the other kids in town. Please be careful, know that you are loved, and if you drink, stop after one or two, while you can still think about it.

Although it may sound easy enough, for some it's bothersome to navigate the site designed for Americans to compare health insurance plans since the Affordable Care Act took effect.
Since October 1st, healthcare.gov has been up and running for insurance shoppers to see which programs they qualify for. The problem is that many just don't know where to start but fortunately there are companies offering assistance to get through the red tape.
Bernard Health, a company in Lyndhurst, says they can help consumers pick the right plan and that they've been getting a lot of calls for help.
"The biggest cause of frustration is people getting logged onto the healthcare.gov website. Everyone is aware of the problem and it should be resolved soon," says Adam Schlesinger of Bernard Health.
A recent study shows more than two-thirds of the uninsured are unaware of what's being offered.
At healthcare.gov a shopper can see their out-of-pocket expense, deductibles, doctor networks and even compare plans side by side.
Bernard Health has seen their customer base triple since Obamacare became law but their advice does come with a price.
"There are a lot of people who are going to qualify for some government assistance," says Schlesinger.
There are pitfalls in the new plans so be careful.
"There is a lot of perception that the higher the premium equates to better value and that is not necessarily the case. So do your research in advance so you are spending your money in the right place," advises Schlesinger.
Interested shoppers have until December 15th to visit the healthcare.gov to sign up.

The trip was very informative and a lot of fun. I'd like to share a bit of information that I wish I had before I boarded the ship.
There is nothing for kids to do on the ship. Bring games, cards, movies, books, I pod... something. There really isn't much for adults either and you have some days that you are on the boat for 20+ hours. I read a lot.
There is no food available other than set times. Bring lots of snacks, cookies, crackers and maybe even some cereal. If you go to the top deck you can get pringles and nuts from the bartender if you have a drink. We got to know him very well.
When you go into port, buy some soda and beer there and bring it onboard with you, drinks are way too expensive. I don't mind paying a fair price but 4.50 for a can of soda is a bit much. You can bring anything you want onboard and ask for ice.
Take some laundry detergent and wash whatever you need washed and hang it on the balcony. Laundry is super expensive. We spent 200.00 on 2 days worth of clothes for the 5 of us.
We chose to skip a few of the Chinese dinners and venture out on our own. I suggest doing this. You will have your fill of Chinese food. We ate at Hard Rock, McDonalds and a pizza place. We skipped the Opera and were told the next day that the others wished they had as well.
In Beijing go to the Silk Market, prices are unbelievable. Nothing should be over 100 - 150 yuen. Walk away, they'll come get you.
All in all it was a great trip, kids loved it other than the food. Viking is a class act and takes great care of their guests. Guides are wonderful too.
Take along packets to add to water to make power aid drinks or ice tea. Water is free on the bus and in all rooms. Makes for a nice addition to your drinks.
Fill up on the wonderful breakfasts. Lunch's and dinners are mostly Chinese and get old quick. Take fruit along from the buffet.
Bring lots of snacks. We ate all of ours the first few days and wished we had more. The inner China airports don't sell any American snack foods.
Pack an extra bag for the wonderful purchases you will make.
We got knock off True Religion jeans for 10.00 a pair. Stick to your guns and you'll do the same.
Knock off purses were 15-20.00 each depending on the brand.
T-shirts were 3 for 10.00 (Quicksilver, Ed Hardy, Paul Frank)
I love China t-shirts were 2.00 each.
Fans and kites are 4 for 1.00 in most of the ports.
Scarfs were 5 for 10.00
Pashminis were 4$ each

ROME (AP) -- Matteo Renzi arrived at Italy's presidential palace on Monday where he was widely expected to be asked to form a new government to replace the one he sacked through a power-grab within his own party.
The 39-year-old leader of the Democratic Party drove himself to his meeting with President Giorgio Napolitano, mimicking the down-to-earth approach of his predecessor, Enrico Letta. Letta had shunned a police escort when he was summoned to form a government in April. He did so again last week to hand in his resignation after Renzi orchestrated the mutiny against him.
Assuming Renzi, who is currently the mayor of Florence, gets the nod to form a government, his first challenge will be to form a coalition and present a plan of government that can win votes of confidence in both houses of Parliament. That's no easy task given his aggressive power-grab has alienated even some within his own Democratic Party, not to mention opposition parties.
Outside the Quirinale palace on Monday, the small Italy Brothers center-right movement staged a protest shouting "Elections! Elections!" Party leaders have been incensed that Renzi, who has never served in parliament, is likely to become Italy's next premier without having ever stood for national elections. In fact, he would be the third premier to be appointed without a ballot since 2011.
More importantly, the New Center Right movement of Angelino Alfano, who had served as Letta's deputy premier in the coalition government, has refused to give Renzi his support, saying he wants to see his plan of action before deciding whether to back the government.
The much larger Forza Italia movement of Silvio Berlusconi has said it would remain in opposition, while the upstart, anti-establishment 5 Star Movement of comic-turned-politician Beppe Grillo has boycotted the transition process altogether.
Assuming he can cobble enough support, Renzi has to get to the work of kick-starting Italy's economy, creating jobs and enacting sorely needed electoral reforms to make Italy more governable.

It's been a good first quarter for the Boston Celtics in a virtual must-win game, and Paul Pierce has lead them to a first quarter lead with his 12 points. After losing the first two games of the series on the road against the Miami Heat, the Celtics have responded well and they lead by a score of 27-21 after the first 12 minutes of play.
Shaquille O'Neal has made his return to the floor for Boston and he scored an impressive reverse layup shortly after getting onto the court, but he looks like a guy who hasn't played in the NBA since February, and he looked like he was limping after putting in that basket.
The big three of the Heat have been quiet, as they have combined for just 12 points in the first quarter. Joel Anthony has put in a good shift off the bench, scoring four points and grabbing three rebounds, two of those offensive, in five minutes on the floor.
Be sure to check out our Heat vs. Celtics hub for full series coverage. For more on the Celtics, visit CelticsBlog and SB Nation Boston. For more on the Heat, visit Peninsula Is Mightier.
