CNN Guest Compares Wall St. Protests to NBA Lockout
Liberal Columbia University professor Dorian Warren compared the Occupy Wall Street protests to the NBA lockout on CNN Monday, saying that the players are using their "voice" and "bargaining power" to air their grievances with the owners like the protesters are doing with the banks.
"Record profits last year in the NBA, yet the owners are saying they don't have enough money to share with the players," Warren said of the lockout. "And so, the players are, unlike most American workers, staying strong in their union to say, no, we actually have a voice here and we have bargaining power and we're not going to let you get away with that." [Video below the break. Click here for audio.]
Co-host Alina Cho didn't exactly challenge Warren's bizarre assumption, being content to let him expound his pro-union view of the lockout and the protests as he blamed the decline of unions for America's income inequality.
"In 1950s, one in three American workers was a member of a union. Now, it's less than 1 in 10," Warren stated. "And so, I think that's related to the rise in inequality over the last thirty years, the declining unionization."
Cho could have challenged Warren's case on multiple counts. The average NBA player's salary, as of this past summer, is $5.15 million, certainly far more than the average Wall Street protester who is employed. The players have a distinct advantage in the amount of their savings on hand for an extended strike.
In addition, the players haven't exactly taken to the streets, disobeyed the municipal authorities, or been arrested in confrontations with the police.
"Interesting perspective, and I encourage people to read this Washington Post op-ed from Sunday," Cho concluded the interview.
A transcript of the segment, which aired on October 31 at 7:17 a.m. EDT, is as follows:
ALINA CHO: Our in-depth look at the Occupy Wall Street movement this week. They're known for fighting against the one-percenters, the very wealthy. So, what do they have in common with the very well-paid, extremely well-off stars of the NBA? More than you think. Our next guest says that. Dorian Warren is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. He specializes in studying inequality in American politics. Dorian, it's nice to see you.
So, LeBron James, he makes $16 million a year, he has a $90 million contract with Nike, firmly in the one percent. But you actually say he has a lot in common with the Occupy protesters. How so?
DORIAN WARREN, assistant professor of Political Science, Columbia University: Well, he and his fellow players are raising grievances with the owners, much like the Occupy Wall Street protesters are, saying around Wall Street banks.
Record profits last year in the NBA, yet the owners are saying they don't have enough money to share with the players. And so, the players are, unlike most American workers, staying strong in their union to say, no, we actually have a voice here and we have bargaining power and we're not going to let you get away with that.
CHO: Well – and you mentioned the unions. In fact, you say the NBA players have one significant advantage over the other 88 percent of workers in America, and that is they belong to a union, right?
WARREN: That's right.
CHO: And you say, actually, the disintegration of unions in this country has exacerbated the problem.
WARREN: That's right. In 1950s, one in three American workers was a member of a union. Now, it's less than 1 in 10. And so, I think that's related to the rise in inequality over the last thirty years, the declining unionization. And what's interesting is that the NBA players themselves recognize this.
So when Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, for instance, in February attacked public sector workers, the NBA Players Union stood with those public sector workers and defended union rights of all workers in this country, so –
CHO: What do you say to people who say unions are the problem, then?
WARREN: Well, if they were the problem then – and there's – they have much more influence than you would imagine, right? At 12 percent of the workforce. That's down from, again, 35 percent when we had shared prosperity and we had less inequality and we had more economic growth. So, you have two snapshots here. When unions were strong, we were stronger as a country and more equal. Unions are weak, we're more unequal, less economic growth, economic collapse.
CHO: You know, I read an article in the "The New York Times" recently that really stuck with me on the Occupy movement, and one line – and I'll read it to you – "No matter how instrumental new media have become in spreading protests these days, nothing replaces people taking to the streets." And, you know, when you see those pictures, and I mean let's keep in mind, this has gone global –
WARREN: Right.
CHO: – it really is extraordinary, and you say this is a significant moment.
WARREN: This is a significant moment. I think we're seeing an emergence of a social movement of people actually making two kinds of claims. The first is that economic inequality and our economic system doesn't work for everybody. And second, that our political system is broken. And there's a link between both of those things.
That the people that are benefiting from the economy get to buy their way in Washington and that most average people, most average Americans don't have a voice in the political system and don't have a future in the economy.
CHO: But let's talk about this because we're now two months into the protests and there are some people who, frankly, have – still have a hard time understanding what it's all about. They know they're mad at the 99 percent –
WARREN: Yes.
CHO: – I mean, at the one percent.
WARREN: One percent, right.
CHO: And that they're the 99 percent. But some have argued, critics have argued that they're not good on solutions, and that's part of the problem and maybe is that why they're not even, you know, a bigger presence and more significant in terms of our collective memory?
WARREN: Well, I think it's important to put this in context. So, we're two months in, but the most successful movement of the 20th Century, the Civil Rights Movement – Rosa Parks, Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955. Five years later, 1960, student sit-ins. Next year, 1961, the freedom rides. We didn't get the Civil Rights Act until 1964 –
WARREN: – right? And then the Voting Rights Act of '65. And I'm not saying it's going to take 10 years for the Occupy Wall Street movement to see legislative success, but when you think about social movements broadly, it takes a while and we're only two months in.
CHO: Hm-hmm. All right. And you're right, the Civil Rights Movement – people are still fighting.
WARREN: Yes, right.

DORIAN WARREN: "Well, he and his fellow players are raising grievances with the owners, much like the Occupy Wall Street protesters are, saying around Wall Street banks."
With at least one significant difference. The NBA players have something that the NBA owners need: high-level talent. The owners need players to make money, and the players need the organization and management of the NBA to make money.
The OWS demonstrators can stay out in the streets and parks for eternity and the banks will not be affected. The OWS people have nothing to bargain with short of threatening the bank people with violence, which the police will prevent.
WARREN: ". . . And so, the players are, unlike most American workers, staying strong in their union to say, no, we actually have a voice here and we have bargaining power and we're not going to let you get away with that."
And if they have been saving and investing the $ millions they earn each year, they ought to be able to hold out for years. Average American workers are not so wealthy.
I doubt one will find much empathy in the OWS groups for striking NBA millionaires. After all, most of the NBA players are in the Top 1%. They've got plenty of money; they just want more.

CNN Guest Compares Wall St. Protests to NBA Lockout
Submitted by stage9 on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 7:16pm.
That's funny, I think a better comparison would be to the Bolsheviks! The Bolsheviks were to the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party as the street trash in OWS is to the liberal democrats. Both have/had a desire for revolution and the Bolsheviks eventually engaged in an armed uprising that overthrew the government (once they gained control of the military)! ultimately ushering in the black dawn of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
And how did THAT work out?
According to the book "The Black Book of Communism" more than 94 million people have died under the sickening lie of atheistic communism:
65 million in the People's Republic of China
20 million in the Soviet Union
2 million in Cambodia
2 million in North Korea
1.7 million in Africa
1.5 million in Afghanistan
1 million in the Communist states of Eastern Europe
1 million in Vietnam
150,000 in Latin America
10,000 deaths "resulting from actions of the international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power.
Liberalism is the new marxism and poses a clear and present danger to the security of the United States of America.
If it weren't for the beacon light of a Christian United States of America, there would still be a Soviet Union.

The knucklehead has a point in comparing the NBA Players Union to the OWS street vermin: I don't really give a damn if either group ever works another day in their lives. It would not affect my life one bit, with the exception that the NBA players qualify for unemployment.

This isn't anything like the NFL. Pretty soon these players are going to turn on the union. This guy sounds like the players are locking the owners out, and everything is peachy-keen in their households. The owners should step up now and shut down the whole season.

but not in the way Mr. Warren says.
Just like the protesters, they are largely spoiled children with a sense of entitlement.
Just like the protesters, they have a hyper-inflated sense of their own importance.
Just like the protesters, they're being manipulated by their so-called leaders and they don't even know it.
Just like the protesters, they get sympathetic media coverage that strokes their fragile egos.
Just like the protesters, many of them have long histories of self-destructive and / or anti-social behavior.
And most of all, just like the protesters, they think that most Americans actually care about their protest!
I like basketball, but I could honestly care less if the entire season was cancelled. Felt the same way about the NFL lockout too.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 12, 2010) – The only entrant to have taken part in the race last year when finishing fourth at odds of 17-1, Porto Marmay captured Friday's sixth running of Santa Anita's $68,200 Wishing Well Handicap for fillies and mares when she defeated She's Cheeky by one length after going off at odds of 11-1.
With Chantal Sutherland in the saddle for trainer Julio Canani, the 5-year-old Irish-bred mare took dead aim on longshot leader Skedee in midstretch to gain control in the closing stages of the event at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita's downhill turf course. The winner was timed in 1:12.89.
Making her first start on grass, She's Cheeky, ridden by Alex Solis, also overtook Skedee by one-half length after the latter had attempted to steal the event at 20-1 odds with Paul Atkinson engineering the attempt.
According to Sutherland, Solis had her mare in tight quarters at the head of the lane. "But I've been watching NASCAR in the jocks' room," she said, "and Danica (Patrick) has been in pretty tight, too, and it hasn't bothered her."
The Wishing Well provided the 33-year-old Sutherland, a native of Canada who rides much of the year at Woodbine in Toronto, with her third stakes victory at the meeting after having won but one in her first two seasons of competition here.
"This is the first time I've ever ridden Chantal," Canani said in the winner's circle. "She's a good rider, and I had her work this mare the other day and she liked her." Sutherland concluded her afternoon with a $22 winner, as Naughty Mariana took the nightcap, putting an exclamation mark on a Pick Six carryover of $87,162 into Saturday's program.
Porto Marmay paid $24.20, $11.60 and $7.60. She's Cheeky returned $12.80 and $7.80 while the show price on Skedee was $11.60.
Dreamt, the 2-1 favorite in the field of 10, appeared to have no excuses with a modest rally that gained fifth. Empressive Lady, the 5-2 second choice ridden by Victor Espinoza, leapt in the air at the start and lost all chance, finishing ninth.
The victory by Porto Marmay, owned by Marsha Naify, was worth $39,720 which elevated her career total to $226,983 from a record of 5-2-2 in 19 starts.
Santa Anita offers four graded stakes races on Saturday's 10-race program with the originally scheduled Grade II Santa Maria Handicap featuring Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic champion Life Is Sweet being joined by the Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes, the Grade II Strub Stakes and the Grade II Robert B. Lewis Stakes for 3-year-olds, all rescheduled from the previous Saturday when severe local storms washed out the race card. First post is at 12:30 p.m.

For the last few years, the Atlanta Hawks have been the bane of NBA League Pass connoisseurs due to their isolation-heavy style, the frustration of Josh Smith, the ho-hum demeanor of Joe Johnson and the lack of visible arena fan support. It's kind of unnerving, then, to see them turn their playoff-opening game against the Boston Celtics into the Highlight Factory all over again.
The play that grabbed the loudest reaction from the home crowd was this alleyoop between Johnson and Marvin Williams. The Hawks poked the ball away on defense, and Williams pitched it ahead to Johnson, who returned the favor at the perfect time for the thunderous dunk.
But the most spectacular play was one that didn't even count for the Hawks. It was Smith chasing down Avery Bradley on the fast break and stuffing his shot, a la LeBron James. Unfortunately, the referee called a goaltend, even though it looked like Smith pinned the ball in time. At the very least, a tie should go to the guy who made the spectacular play, right?

Pros: Lovely staff, good breakfast, clean rooms, comfortable beds & common areas, fast Wifi, thoughtful touches like bathrobes, hand towels, hangers etc. excellent location Cons: I don't think this was the fault of the guesthouse but some of the guests were not very hygienic in their use of the bathrooms, and while the hostel does very well keeping the bathrooms clean, it can't clean up after every single use. So I would say cleanliness of the bathrooms is dependent on who shares your corridor.

My understanding of a swimming teacher is they need to have a proficient knowledge of scientific principles, physiology and psychology; coupled with the ability to apply them to the individual is vital.

Toll at Newport 'unworkable' says Welsh Government source
Sources close to First Minister Carwyn Jones have flatly denied that the Welsh Government would agree to a toll on traffic using the M4 at Newport, either for using an improved existing motorway or a completely new relief road.
A toll road idea has not formed any part of the inter-governmental talks that have taken place between the Welsh and UK Governments.
The tolling of Welsh roads is entirely a matter for the Welsh Government and we have no plans to introduce tolls on any Welsh road. It's an unworkable idea and given the Scots are not being forced to put tolls on their new Forth Bridge, it would be unfair for Wales to be expected to re-coup the money in this way, to fund road improvements here. Wales is not a second-class Scotland.
– Welsh Government source
As part of the ongoing inter-governmental talks, the future of toll income from the Severn Crossings after the current concession ends, is also being discussed.
It appears that the Welsh Government remains determined -and hopeful- about gaining the income from the Severn Bridge tolls once the construction costs of the Second Severn Crossing have been paid off in 2017 or 2018. That revenue could then be used to repay a loan that financed an M4 improvement.
For most motorists it would make little difference if the toll they paid at Magor was still for having just crossed the bridge rather than for using a new or improved motorway ahead of them. But tolls levied at the bridges are much less likely to encourage motorists to find an alternative route.

How did you witness history on September 11th?
The events of September 11 fell during the holidays following my A-level exams, just before I went off to university. I remember getting a phone call from my dad as I was eating my lunch, ringing to tell me that a light aircraft had hit the World Trade Centre in New York. One of the twin towers was onfire but it looked merely like a dreadful accident. I turned on the television to be confronted by the scene of smoke and flame belching from one of the twin towers. The rest of the BBC news had been halted to make way for full coverage of this epicentre of world events. Within seconds though, all thoughts of a tragic accident evaporated as, captured live, the dark and fleeting shape of a 767 banked in a dive and raked into the second twin tower. I remember exclaiming to myself as a gout of smoke, flame and twisted metal showered over the area around the Trade Centre as the jet impacted. From then on, I was gripped by the coverage which went on well into the evening. A short while after the second tower had been hit, news filtered through that there had also been an incident in Washington. A pall of smoke was shown rising from the area near to the Pentagon and I remember there being garbled reports that a car bomb had gone off at the state department. Soon, however, pictures were being relayed of helicopters and jets circling the area and it was soon evident that another aircraft, a 757 of American Airlines had hit the Pentagon and inflicted heavy damage. By this time, reporters were announcing that both American and United Airlines were 'growing concerned' about a number of their flights. American mentioned flights 11 and 77, while United voiced worries about flights 175 and 93. Then came the horrific denouement to a tragedy. The moment of the implosions of the twin towers. I speak as if they occurred at the same time because that is what it felt like. The shock of seeing one of the towers collapse was such that when the other fell later on, it was hard to register that anything else could happen on this day to compound the tragedy. As if by a sickening afterthought, news came of United flight 93's fate: the 757 had ended its journey when it crashed into a field in Chambers County, Pensylvannia. The rest of the day was a time of great depression, the like of which I have never known after having seen a tragic news story. My parents arrived home and were instantly glued to the television, having heard snatched stories from colleagues and friends about what had unfolded that day in the USA. I recall that we didn't eat dinner until 9.00 that evening, such was our focus to learn everything we could of the days events.
Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001?
One of the most important things that I have learned from September 11 was that life is there to be cherished. Most of us have the chance to live life as fully and wholesomely as is possible. We must learn to hold friends and family high in esteem and cherish the experiences that we have with them, for we can never be certain of our own mortality or that of others. Since September 11 I have found myself taking a camera with me whenever I socialise, whether it be a party with friends or a meal with my family. This provides me with tangible evidence of the experiences I have shared with those closest to me. Once a person is gone from this earth, it is only our memories that we have to keep them alive. If September 11 underlined one fact clearly, then this is it.
What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
Ultimately, September 11 joins the great litany of man's inhumanity to man. It is hard for me to think of those who died that day merely as figures, due to the number of obituaries and memoriams I have seen in newspapers and on the internet. We realise that death is an all encompassing leveller, but we must remember that people who died on September 11 and indeed in other atrocities are all individuals. They have experienced the same thoughts and feelings as all of us. The fact that we can identify with these people as decent human beings trying to earn an honest living makes it all the more important that we remember their passing on September 11.
Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th?
Being British, I did not myself fly an American flag but I must admit to pangs of admiration concerning the American people. Being a history student, I have always had an intense interest in worldwide terrorism. Like all UK residents, I have vivid memories of news reports when I was younger that detailed the latest terrorist attack by the IRA on a British target. In a way, I felt that America had been relatively lucky in terms of terrorism on their own soil. Aside from atrocities such as Oklahoma, the Trade Centre bombing of 1993 and the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, terrorist attacks against American targets have been consigned to foreign countries, specifically the Middle East. However, I thought it abhorrent when some columnists in the national newspapers here in Britain put forward the idea that America almost deserved September 11, having got off scot free for so many years. In my opinion, no one country deserves to have a landmark destroyed and over 3,000 people killed on it's soil in one day. When America asked "Why us"? in the days following September 11, the world could indeed empathise with this question. The world also knew that the redoubtable American spirit, embodied by the national flag, would soon gear up to find those responsible for the worst terrorist outrage in history.

Conference leading St. Teresa came to Shelbyville for the Ram Senior Night and after opening with a 9-2 run, the Rams dug in, played stymie defense and got back in the game and trailed by three with less than 2:00 to play.
Senior Nate Standerfer, the Ram 3-point shootist had been shut out from the arc for over 30:00. But he hit a corner 3 with a hand in his face to tie the game with 1:27 left, 40-40. The Ram defense turned St. T away at the basket and the Rams had the ball with 26 seconds remaining. With one time out left and nowhere near being in the bonus, the Rams ran clock.
With 12 seconds left, the Rams stayed calm and kept working the ball. Senior Darin Breeden passed up a difficult shot from the arc. With 3 seconds left, Nate Standerfer lifted a 3 with a Dawg closing out on him. It hit nothing, but the bottom of the net, for the upset win, 43-40.
After trailing 14-8 after the 1st, 25-20 at the half, and 35-33 heading into the final frame, the Rams held St. T to just two points in the final period. The 4th quarter was gut-check time and the Ram seniors represented.
Senior center Brody Bence got the opening tip, but St. T scored first with a Kurtis Minton 3. Bence hit a jumper from the key, but then St. scored nine straight capped by a Ross Anderson trey, 12-2. Bence made a hook shot over Anderson to break the run.
Chris Williams hit a pull-up jumper for St. T, then Spencer Shadwell answered, faking a shot then popping for two. Bence didn't take any stuff from St. T in this game. He went right to the hole in transition against Anderson and drew the hard foul. He splashed both free throws. St. T ran clock the final :44 of the 1st, but missed the shot, leaving them a 6-point lead, 14-18.
The Ram defense stiffened in the 2nd and they didn't back down. Luke McConnell dished to Bence inside, who was triple-teamed. Bence fought through it and scored, 16-10. McConnell got a defensive rebound and Bence hit McConnell cutting to the hole. McConnell was fouled and drained both shots, 16-12.
J.D. Mattingly scored on a put back and got the foul. He made it to re-establish a 7-point Dawg lead, 19-12. Breeden nailed a two from the free throw line, but St. T answered. With 3:05 left in the half, Breeden scored on a back cut, 21-16.
Williams stole a ball and took it in for a Dawg score. Breedn missed a trey, but Senior Tucker Schwengel got the put back and fought through two defenders to score. St. T scored on a short jumper. Bence then made room underneath and spun around for the bank, 25-20.
St. T tried to run clock again with 44 seconds left in the half, but senior guard Jake Keown pressed the ball and got a 5 second call. The Rams got the ball with 8 seconds left and denied St. a final shot again.
The Rams have had trouble scoring in the 3rd in some games this season, but on Senior Night they won the 3rd.
St. T missed a shot and Bence struck again with a jumper from the key, 25-22. St. T scored inside, but Bence shot a fade in the post and was held by Anderson. Bence completed the 3-point play at the line, 27-25.
The Ram defense caused a turnover and Breedn brought it coast to coast, spinning at the rim and tying the game with 5:06 in the 3rd, 27-27. St. T needed a time-out after the 7-2 Ram run to start the 3rd.
St. scored, but Breeden got a offensive rebound and spun at the rim and put it up and in for the 2nd tie, 29-29. St. missed a three and Bence hit another hook for the first Ram lead of the game with 3:10 in the 3rd, 31-29.
Williams nailed a 3-pointer for St. T lead, 32-34. Williams was feeling it and with his long arms, he stole a skip pass. He threw a long pass to Laukaitis breaking to the bucket for two. On the very next Ram possession, Williams stole another skip pass. Bence blocked a shot, but was called for the foul. The Rams trailed 35-31.
The Rams turned the ball over for the third straight possession, but St. T couldn't convert. Bence missed a trey, but then blocked a shot at the other end and grabbed the ball out of the air. He was assaulted, but was called for the foul. St. T got the ball, but Bence blocked another shot.
At the Ram end Bence went to the baseline and hit a jumper with 10 seconds left in the period, 35-33. The Rams denied the shot at the other end at the close of the 3rd.
A minute and a half into the 4th, Shadwell drove and shot a floater. It missed, but Shadwell reached out and tapped it to Standerfer who made the put back for the tie, 35-35. Bence defended a shot, but Williams poked another ball away for a St. T fast break. The Rams fouled and St. T missed both free throws.
With 4:08 to play, Breedn was fouled, Standerfer missed a three and Breeden got the rebound. He twisted his way through the defense and scored for the Ram lead, 37-35.
The Rams defended a shot, defended another shot, then fouled. St. T made 1-of-2 free throws. Another Ram turnover on a pass led to a St. T fast break two and the lead, 38-37 with 3:00 left.
With 2:00 left Williams drove and dished to Anderson inside for two and a 3-point lead, 40-37. That's when Standerfer pulled a Die Hard and became "that guy." He hit his first triple of the game under duress for the tie with 1:27 left, 40-40.
Williams tried to drive again and Schwengel turned him away at the rim and got the rebound. The rest is history. The Rams ran the final 26 seconds down to 3 and Standerfer made the shot heard around the conference, dropping St. T into a 4-way tied for 1st with one game to go.
Standerfer was the hero scoring all eight of his points in crunch time, but Bence carried the Rams again. Bence scored a game-high 19 points all in the first three periods. He had eight tough field goals and went 3-of-3 at the line. Breeden was a whirling dervish for 10 points, all from the floor.
Shelbyville only got to the line for five free throws, but they made all five. Bence had three and back-up forward Luke McConnell had the other two free throws. St. T got to the line for nine free throws, but missed six in a 3-point defeat.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A judge has denied embattled Metro Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin's efforts to delay her trial on ethics charges.
Shanklin asked for the delay earlier this week, saying her appeal of a separate, city ethics commission decision should be decided first.
She's accused of mishandling city money for an upholstery program that records show benefited her family. She's also accused of employing her grandson while he had outstanding warrants, and allegedly taking city money for a neighborhood association she chaired.
The Metro Council has already denied Shanklin's request for a continuance once before.
Shanklin's trial is scheduled to start on July 23.

Leyton town centre works scoop planning award
4:30pm Friday 1st February 2013 in Waltham Forest By Daniel Binns, Senior reporter
Works to improve Leyton High Road have scooped an award from Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
Waltham Forest Council and partners were given the 'Best Town Centre Project' accolade at the London Planning awards in City Hall last night.
The prize was in recognition of a series of works designed to rejuvenate the area, including the renovation of the former Leyton town hall building, the scheme to paint and refurbish shopfronts, and highway improvements.
Sharing the award with the authority was the Waltham Forest Business Board, Lee Valley Estates and Jan Kattein Architects, which helped with some of the projects.
A spokesman for the awards said: "Completed in July, the [Leyton] works have helped local businesses take advantage of new opportunities.
"Quality community and learning spaces have improved the local skills base and the transformation of the public realm instils a sense of civic pride in the neighbourhood."
The award ceremony was organised in conjunction with the mayor, the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), London First, and the London Councils umbrella group, which represents local authorities in the capital.
Mayor Jules Pipe, chair of London Councils, said: "The exceptionally high quality across the range of categories this year shows that London's planning system is producing world quality architecture.
"London's boroughs play a key role in planning and ensuring such developments add social, economic and environmental value to local communities."
Council leader Cllr Chris Robbins said: "It is quite something to be presented with an award for one of the best projects of 2012 alongside developments such as the Olympic Park and Kings Cross Station.
"Last year was an absolutely fantastic year for the borough in so many ways and we're determined to build on that momentum and make the lasting legacy the regeneration of Waltham Forest.
"Waltham Forest Council has embarked on a campaign of investment in High Streets throughout the borough. We're spending £9million to apply the good practice in Leyton to areas all over Waltham Forest, to provide vital and viable town centres.
"This is part of a campaign of regeneration that is also focused on making huge improvements to our schools and leisure facilities, but that recognises the need to attract business and development to the borough as well."
The council works in Leyton cost just over £3million.

In the scramble before the Olympics, it was grimly comic to see the shiny new Chinese granite paving (is that Fairtrade, one wonders?) stopping dead at an oblique line, obviously drawn on a map by someone who had never seen the street in reality; a line chosen no doubt as the point beyond which no Olympic visitor could be expected to stray into the badlands of Leyton.
It's interesting to see how Labour, who have smiled complacently at stagnation in this borough for quarter of a century, can pull their fingers out when there are High Ups watching.
If they cared, our streets would never have descended into the state they did.

Wow! If this came first, I would like to see the runners up.

It is quite saddening to see the present state of Leyton High Road. Having grown up there - all be it in the 70's and 80's - I find it disgraceful with it's defaced houses and shops, rubbish all over the place and people spitting everywhere. Some may be critical of me because I don't like the 'new look' but Leyton is no longer a nice place to be in or indeed visit.

What a joy it is to live in such a positive borough! All the comments above utterly negative. What is it with you people? And who was it who said if you don't like it move to Surrey? Well, on this occasion I couldn't agree with her more. A miserable bunch of whingers the lot of you!
By the way Surrey aint far enough, and if telling it as it is, is whinging.

I bought it to keep track of scores for ultimate frisbee. I'm not a big fan of the flimsy plastic numbers that sort of curl up and may blow away in the wind if you're not careful. It also doesn't close quite right, the metal casing is bent. And there are pieces of metal and screws poking out that are easy to cut yourself on. But that said, I've used it a few times and it's worked. It small and fits in the 6-gallon bucket I bring with me to games, so that's nice. It's big enough that you can see the score from anywhere on the field as long as someone isn't standing in front of it.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- The Baltimore Ravens have selected Wisconsin offensive lineman Ricky Wagner in the fifth round of the NFL draft.
The 6-foot-6, 308-pound Wagner was the 168th overall pick, a compensatory selection awarded by the league. Baltimore traded its own fifth-rounder on Friday night to Seattle.
Wagner played left tackle for the Badgers, but he is also capable of lining up at guard. In spite of a knee injury, Wagner missed only one game as a senior last season.
It is unlikely that Wagner can start in his first NFL season. He can, however, provide depth on the line -- especially if the Ravens fail to re-sign left tackle Bryant McKinnie.

Approval ratings for Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court are all at record lows, reflecting the public's dissatisfaction with a runaway federal government. Many are concerned about Washington D.C.'s culture of corruption, entitlement programs on the path to bankruptcy, and a complicated tax code and bureaucracy which stifle both economic growth and liberty.
With this in mind, nearly one hundred state legislators from 32 different states gathered at George Washington's home in Mount Vernon, Virginia, on Saturday. They met to discuss the possibility of a Convention of the States for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution, as described in Article V of the United States Constitution.
Fed up with the federal government's overreach, state legislators says that such a convention would meet for the purpose of crafting constitutional amendments to curb the federal government's abuses. Amendments that are being mentioned include Congressional term limits as well as limits on federal taxation and spending.

#ArticleV #Constitution http://t.co/3HlT4fgzUS—
Senator Kelli Ward (@kelliwardaz) December 07, 2013
A recent Gallup poll found that 75 percent of Americans support Congressional term limits, and other polls indicate 74 percent support a balanced budget amendment. State legislators attending the Mount Vernon Assembly emphasized a bipartisan purpose for a future convention.
Saturday's meeting was organized by Senator David Long of Indiana, and Representative Chris Kapenga of Wisconsin helped distribute information about establishing rules for such a convention.
Many more state legislators had expressed interest in attending the Mount Vernon Assembly, but the room was at capacity. Other legislators not in attendance have expressed their doubts about an Article V Amendments Convention becoming a reality, although Virginia and South Carolina recently became the first states to pre-file an application for such a convention.
Although no constitutional amendment has ever been implemented in this way, the Framers of the Constitution specifically included the state convention method for amending the Constitution so that the States could have a legal means to curb an out-of-control federal government.
As James Madison describes in his notes, many Framers were concerned that Congress alone would have the authority to propose amendments:
"Col: Mason thought the plan of amending the Constitution exceptionable & dangerous. As the proposing of amendments is in both the modes to depend, in the first immediately, and in the second, ultimately, on Congress, no amendments of the proper kind would ever be obtained by the people, if the Government should become oppressive, as he verily believe would be the case. Mr. Morris & Mr. Gerry moved to amend the article so as to require a Convention on application of 2/3 of the Sts."
Per Article V of the Constitution, two-thirds of the state legislatures (34) must pass an application for a convention to occur. Then, the state legislatures would be able to send delegates to the convention, but each state would only get one vote on proposed amendments. It would require three-fourths (38) of the states to ratify any one amendment for it to become part of the Constitution.
Although many state legislators have been pursuing such a convention for years, recent endeavors like Convention of States Project, Compact for America, and Mark Levin's book The Liberty Amendments have drawn significant attention to this movement. In addition, President Eisenhower once endorsed an Article V Convention for the purpose of Congressional term limits, while President Reagan supported the convention process to achieve a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Comings and goings: reader queryMon Dec 5, 2011 Miss Vicky
A reader writes:
Hey Vicky -
You've always got your ear to the ground... any idea what's going into the former Mostly Danish Furniture?
Indeed! I confirmed this weekend that Fab Baby Gear is moving into the that space - I guess they need the room for strollers and furniture.
While I'm at it, I am overdue for a Comings and Goings post, so here goes.
Hintonburger is busily renovating and readying for a January move to the old KFC location. If you haven't had a chance to pick up some gift certificates, they make great stocking stuffers! It also appears they have found someone to sublet their current shack - to Suzy Q Doughnuts. They sell what look like pretty amazing doughnuts at the Lansdowne Market and they plan on opening a shop in the 'burg. I guess that doughnuts are the new cupcakes?
Speaking of cake, The Cake Shop is moving from their suburban location to 1200 Wellington, in the former PC Cyber location. Right next to the Emerald Bakery, which is unfortunate. But they do offer a different product and they are 100% nut free. It is an awful lot of cake for our neighbourhood, though! Miss Vicky is going to have to step up her workouts at Marshall's! Their facebook page promises coffee, seating and a cheesecake bar (an intriguing possibility).
On the other end of the strip, a new sandwich place has opened up across from Cafe Mio - according to a tweet by local artist Andrew King, they serve DiRienzo's sandwiches, but I haven't had a chance to check it out.
I have had the chance to check out the Red Sea Cafe, the new Ethiopian place on Holland. It is small and basic, but they do takeout at lunch and the food was mighty tasty. No license though, so if you like a beer to wash down your injera, you can always hit a pub afterwards.
The place I am looking forward to checking out is the Hintonburg Public House - they open their doors on Wednesday, right next to the soon-to-be Bridgehead at Fairmont and Wellington.
The former Videoflicks is going to be a phone and computer servicing place - which I guess we needed when we lost PC Cyber (the staff there had told me they were moving to that location, actually, but it seems they were in error).
I imagine I am missing a few spots, but that should do for now. Still trying to figure out what's going in to the former Dogz Spa and I have no idea what's up with Chrome Boyz. Post your intel here!
Now, can we please get some groceries on the eastern end of the strip? Pretty please?
Some people were moved to reply
Thanks for the update. It's very depressing that Fab Baby Gear is moving into a space with as much potential as like the former ByWay/Danish furniture location, but at least it's just a move, and our neighbourhood isn't going to be saddled with yet *another* store selling overpriced designer baby gear or trying-too-hard pseudo-hipster furniture.
Sorry to burst David's bubble, but I've heard a new furniture store is going into the former dog spa.
susie ;)
dear "David" It's ALL good Man!! I Love the potential of another furniture store.

This is my prediction of the 25-man roster exactly 1 year from now, maybe even sooner than that.
Lineup: 1. Jae-Hoon Ha/Ryan Sweeney CF-LF, 2. Starlin Castro SS, 3. Nate Schierholtz RF, 4. Anthony Rizzo 1B, 5. Matt Szczur/Brian Bogusevic LF-CF, 6. Junior Lake/Luis Valbuena 3B, 7. Welington Castillo/Steve Clevenger C, 8. Arismendy Alcantara/Logan Watkins 2B.
Rotation: 1. Jeff Samardzija, 2. Travis Wood, 3. Edwin Jackson, 4. Chris Rusin, 5. Kyle Hendricks.
Bullpen: closer Kyuji Fujikawa, setup men James Russell and Blake Parker, lefties Zach Rosscup and Brooks Raley, and right-handers Casey Coleman and Arodys Vizcaino.
Matt Garza, Scott Feldman, Carlos Villanueva, Kevin Gregg, Henry Rodriguez, Dioner Navarro, Cody Ransom and David Dejesus will all be traded, likely before the July 31st deadline this season, for prospects that probably won't help until 2015 or later. Al Soriano and Scott Hairston will either be traded or unconditionally released by June of next season.
Scott Baker, Shawn Camp, Michael Bowden, Alex Burnett, Darwin Barney, Julio Borbon and Dave Sappelt will likely not be re-signed nor tendered contracts for next season, thus making them all free agents.
Alberto Cabrera, Dallas Beeler, Eric Jokisch, Barret Loux, Nick Struck, Hector Rondon, Trey McNutt, Zach Putnam, Rafael Dolis, Jeffry Antigua, Frank Batista and Tony Zych will likely be the pitchers at Triple A Iowa.
CF Brett Jackson, 2B Ronald Torreyes, SS Javier Baez, RF Jorge Soler, 1B Josh Vitters, LF Rubi Silva, 3B Christian Villanueva and C Rafael Lopez will likely be the starting lineup at Iowa.

FAIRFAX, Va. - The Towson University women's basketball team battled back from a nine-point second half deficit for a 53-51 win at George Mason on Sunday night. Freshmen guards Alliyah Berger and Dominique Johnson combined for 30 points to help the Tigers (8-16, 2-11 CAA) snap a five-game losing streak.
"I'm excited to get the win tonight," said Towson coach Joe Mathews. "I'm proud of the kids for they way they battled tonight and never gave up. I thought Alliyah and Dominique really came through for us tonight."
"Hopefully we can use this and get better from here," added Mathews.
Leading 25-23 coming out of the half, George Mason (8-15, 3-9 CAA) used an 8-1 run to extend its advantage to 33-24 with 17:05 to play. That nine-point margin was the Patriots' largest of the game. Towson responded with a 10-4 run which pulled the visitors to within three, 37-34 with 11:54 remaining. The Patriots scored nine of the next 13 points to make it a 46-38 game with 6:21 left in the game.
Johnson connected on a lay-up at 5:35 which started the Tigers' comeback attack and made it a 46-40 game. After another bucket from Johnson, Rahneeka Saunders made a pair of shots from the foul line which pushed the home team lead to 48-42. Berger scored the next five points of the game which made it a 48-47 game with 2:56 to play. Johnson hit a pair of shots from the charity stripe at 1:07 which gave Towson a 49-48 lead. That was the visitors' first lead since late in the first half. Junior guard Tanisha McTiller went 4-for-4 from the foul line in the final minute of play which pushed the lead to 53-48 with 11 seconds to play. The Patriots hit a late three-pointer to make the final score 53-51.
The Tigers and Patriots battled throughout the first half of the game. Towson opened the game on an 8-2 run. George Mason scored seven of the next nine points which made it a 10-9 game with 9:33 to play in the half. The two teams traded baskets over the next several minutes as Berger's three-pointer gave Towson a 21-16 lead. George Mason closed the first half on a 9-2 run to take a 25-23 lead at the break.
Towson shot 25.9% from the field and made seven three-pointers. The Tigers shot 61.5% from the free throw line in the game. George Mason shot 31.6% from the field and made seven three-pointers. The Patriots shot 80% from the foul line. Towson won the rebounding battle, 45-43.
Johnson led the Tigers with 17 points, three steals and two assists in the game. Berger contributed a season-high 13 points and two rebounds. McTiller finished with 12 points and became the 19th player in program history to reach 900 points for their career. McTiller also added nine rebounds and four steals. Senior forward Michelle Peebles led the Tigers on the boards with 10.
Saunders led all scorers with 18 points and six steals while Janaa Pickard contributed 11 points.
Towson looks to make it two straight wins on Tuesday, Feb. 19 when it hosts Hofstra at 7 p.m.
