Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to change Chicago's parking tax — from a sliding scale to a fixed percentage — got the green light Monday despite concern that hotel patrons who drive to the city and park overnight would pay through the nose, the Sun-Times is reporting.
Under the current, sliding-scale, the most motorists can pay in taxes is $5 for a parking fee of $12 or more. That's even on a valet parking tab of $50 at a luxury downtown hotel.
The new structure, approved by the City Council's Finance Committee, includes a flat tax of 20 percent on weekday parking and 18 percent on weekends. The more you pay to park, the higher the tax.
Marc Gordon, president and CEO of the Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association, said 18 percent of the people who stay in Chicago hotels drive to the city and park overnight. They pay an average overnight parking fee of $42.31. High-end hotels charge $50-a-night.
Under the mayor's plan, those same motorists who were paying $3 in taxes in 2011 and $5 now would pay anywhere from $8.62-to-$10 in taxes. That's more than triple the tax in less than two years, he said.
"It has a severe impact on our hotels and the overnight guests who stay there," Gordon said.
"These are the guests who come in and stay in our hotels and spend their money in our city and pay the taxes and do all the good things that have a tremendous effect on the city's economic [health] — $12 billion is what tourism brings to the city."
Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) added, "We've been blessed to have an increase of heads in beds. We want to make sure we keep it that way."
Instead of 20 percent on weekdays and 18 percent on weekends, Gordon suggested a flat rate of 15 percent at all times. That would soften the blow on hotel patrons who sometimes park their cars for up to five nights, he said.
Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) was not sympathetic.
"Why is parking so high to start with? The amounts I've seen in some of these hotels are just ridiculous. That probably has a greater detriment [than the tax]….I've seen rates of $45-to-$50 for overnight parking. You can get a room at Midway for that amount," Ervin said.
Budget Director Alex Holt argued that a percentage-based tax is more equitable.
"The idea behind this structure is….to make it easier to administer, but also to more fairly distribute that tax based on what people are paying. If you've got a premium service, you will pay more. If you're paying an economy rate, you will actually pay less," Holt said, noting that 50 percent of Chicago parkers pay $12 or less.
"[Hotel] garage rates tend to be $50 and up. As a result of the percentage-based tax, those parkers will pay more. Currently you're paying less than your share of the tax and the economy parker is paying more. This percentage-based fee evens that out."
Holt noted that most major cities impose a percentage-based parking tax. In New York City, the tax is 18.4 percent. In Philadelphia, it's 20 percent. San Francisco imposed a 25 percent fee.
The mayor's 2013 budget includes $122 million in parking tax revenue. The annual take should remain in the "$122 million-to-$125 million range" even after the restructuring, the budget director said.
"We worked backwards from that number and figured out where the percentage rate should be. We wanted to be in that range of revenue-neutral. We did not structure it to result in an increase in revenue. We structured it to stay revenue-neutral," Holt said.
Emanuel's first budget was balanced, in part, on a $2-a-weekday hike in parking taxes cleverly billed as a "congestion fee" even though it was confined neither to rush periods nor congested downtown and River North areas.
The full City Council is expected to approve the parking tax overhaul on Wednesday, effective July 1.

Brandao and Bermudez are fighting to determine the season 14 featherweight tournament winner. Brandao (13-7) is an aggressive striker who likes to make quick work of his opponents. Bermudez (7-2) has a wrestling background and finished all three of his fights on the show.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: These two aren't wasting time. They meet in the center and go right to work. In true Wanderlei Silva fashion (he did come out to his hero's music), Brandao is putting his head down and winging those hooks. Bermudez briefly gets him down, but can't keep him there. Good ovrhand right by Brandao. Bermudez forces him into the fence and then flies in with a kick to the body. Big shot by Brandao drops Bermudez, but he doesn't follow him down and Bermudez is on his feet quickly. Bermudez comes back with a heavy right, and Brandao answers moments later. Brandao runs in with a knee and gets Bermudez down, slamming him back to the mat when tries to rise. Bermudez eventually gets to his feet and takes a glancing head kick on his way out. Brandao walks directly into a crushing right hand and goes down in a heap. I don't know how his jaw is still attached. Bermudez hammers him with more punches from the top, but Brandao moves just enough to show referee Josh Rosenthal he's still in it. Less than 30 seconds to go now, and Bermudez is pounding on Brandao. This is close to being stopped, but Brandao rolls for an armbar and locks it up from the bottom, flipping Bermudez over and forcing him to tap right away. Amazing fight, and an amazing finish. One of the best one-round fights of the year, right up there with Nick Diaz-Paul Daley?
Diego Brandao def. Dennis Bermudez via submission (armbar) at 4:51 of round one

Younger brother of Saint Deicola. Studied at Bangor Abbey under Saint Comgall of Bangor and Saint Columba. Bible scholar. Priest. One of the twelve who accompanied Saint Columbanus to France and helped found Luxeuil Abbey. He followed Columbanus into exile in 610 and then to Austrasia, where he preached with little success around Lake Zurich, and near Bregenz.
Illness forced Gall to leave Columbanus's party in 612, though some say the leader suspected Gall of malingering, and imposed a penance on him, which Gall faithfully observed, of not celebrating Mass during Columba's life. When he recovered, Gall lived as a hermit on the Steinach River, attracting disciples. Saint Gall Monastery occupied this site, becoming a center of literature, the arts, and music, though legend to the contrary, Saint Gall did not found it. Worked there with Saint Magnus of Füssen. Legend also says that one night during this period Gall ordered a bear to bring fire wood for his group of hermits – and it did.
Exorcist. Twice refused bishoprics offered by King Sigebert, whose betrothed he had freed of demons which fled from her in the form of blackbirds. Reportedly was the offered the abbacy of Luxeuil on the death of Saint Eustace but declined, and remained a hermit.

WINSTON-SALEM — N.C. State talked about its recent problems on the road against Wake Forest but the Wolfpack couldnt actually do anything about it on Saturday.
Senior quarterback Tanner Price threw for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Demon Deacons to a 28-13 home win over the Wolfpack.
N.C. State (3-2, 0-2 ACC) has lost six straight on the road to Wake Forest and eight of its past nine trips to Winston-Salem.
We talked about that all week, N.C. State quarterback Pete Thomas said. We talked about it every day, every meeting. Its very disappointing. We didnt get it done.
Wake Forest (3-3, 1-2 ACC) limped into the contest averaging 15 points a game against FBS opponents and coming off of a 56-7 loss at Clemson last Saturday.
Price and receiver Michael Campanaro turned the offense around Saturday. Price threw for 268 yards and ran for a career-best 82 yards. Campanaro, who has his own bit of history against N.C. State, caught 12 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns.
Wake coach Jim Grobe, who improved to 17-3 at home against in-state FBS teams, said he could tell his team was eager to prove it was better than the Clemson loss indicated.
There was electricity in the locker room before the game, Grobe said. I just had a sense that this was different.
It was just a really good feeling today and nice to see guys on both sides of the ball play four quarters.
N.C. State coach Dave Doeren was disappointed in his teams performance in its first road game of the season.
We didnt play well, Doeren said. We didnt do what we needed to do. It starts with me, obviously, I thought I had them ready to play today.
The game turned near the end of the first half when it looked like N.C. State would take a 10-7 lead into the break. Instead, Price rallied the Deacs for a touchdown with 6 seconds left for a 14-10 advantage.
Price found tight end Spencer Bishop behind N.C. States defense for a 54-yard gain, which set up a 10-yard touchdown pass to Campanaro. Doeren said the big play to Bishop hurt.
They slipped their tight end out across the field out of a protection and we didnt see him, Doeren said. We had a guy there for him and we didnt see him. That play obviously opened up the floodgates.
The Wolfpack offense, missing some key parts due to injuries, only managed one touchdown and had to settle for two short Nik Sade field goals.
A mistake on special teams in the third quarter cost the Wolfpack too. A roughing the kicker penalty on linebacker Robert Caldwell, on a 24-yard field goal attempt, gave Wake an extra shot at a touchdown. Price made the Pack pay for the penalty with a 3-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jared Crump for a 21-10 lead with 7:25 left in the third.
Campanaros 27-yard touchdown catch with 10:43 left in the fourth quarter put the game away. The senior receiver has five total touchdowns in the past three games against the Wolfpack.
The coaching staff did a good job of scheming to get him the ball as many ways as possible, N.C. State cornerback Dontae Johnson said of Campanaro. He played great today. He just got the best of us.
N.C. States only lead all day was 10-7 in the second quarter when Thomas, who was 27 of 43 for 257 yards passing, hit receiver Quintin Payton (six catches, 98 yards) for an 11-yard touchdown with 39 seconds left in the half.
Paytons touchdown, his first of the season, capped a 10-play, 66-yard drive which only took 79 seconds. Wakes defense didnt let the Wolfpack in the end zone again.
And N.C. State still hasnt won in Winston-Salem since 2001.

The World Health Organisation has released a preliminary report into the health impacts of Fukushima. The main conclusion of the report was that there may be a small increase in cancer in the region around Fukushima. In general media headlines did a reasonable job reflecting this, with words such as "slight," "little" and "small"appearing in most of them, as a google news search shows:
A noteable exception however was The Guardian, which choose something rather more alarming:
"Cancer risk 70% higher for females in Fukushima area, says WHO." A quick look at the text shows that the 70% refers to female infants, and thyroid cancers. Now, it should be clear to anyone that infants are a subset of women and thyroid cancer is a subset of cancer. I sent a short tweet to The Guardian's environment team and their environment web editor Adam Vaughan to see if I could get the headline corrected, and proceeded to defend it.
Any chance @guardianeco can correct this totally inaccurate headline? @adamvaughan_uk? m.guardian.co.uk/environment/20…—
Robert Wilson (@CarbonCounter_) February 28, 2013
Quite astonishingly Vaughan saw nothing wrong with the headline:
@CarbonCounter_ can you elaborate? Appears to be backed by following line in story—
Adam Vaughan (@adamvaughan_uk) February 28, 2013
@CarbonCounter_ it's a HL. They are still women, it is still cancer it is referring to. I don't understand need for rudeness discussing it—
Adam Vaughan (@adamvaughan_uk) February 28, 2013
A rather remarkable admission that totally misleading lines are acceptable. Vaughan then suggested that I contact the reader's editor, re-iterated that the headline was accurate, and then blocked me on Twitter.
@CarbonCounter_ email the Readers' editor if you want to complain, Robert. a) it's accurate and b) the standfirst unpacks it—
Adam Vaughan (@adamvaughan_uk) February 28, 2013
This is the kind of behaviour and reporting you expect from someone like James Delingpole, not a reporter at a supposedly serious newspaper such as The Guardian. Consider if a woman who had lived in Fukushima in March 2011, and had been exposed to radiation in March 2011 read this headline. She would probably respond with an understandable amount of fear, and all because of irresponsible journalism. The headline and Vaughan's response to criticism are both fundamentally unethical and a sad reflection of how ideology can trump human decency.
People affected by the Fukushima disaster deserve accurate information, and not shameful alarmism, which in itself may cause serious health impacts.

The quality and selection in the main dinning room were great and I didn't have a bad meal. Were on Select Dining and never had to wait for a table. I was surprised that on Lobster night you get a whole tail which is removed form its shell table side by your waiter. This was far better than those little nuggets that you get served on other cruise lines. The cafe had a huge selection and whilst it can get busy at peak times we were never not able to find a table.
Reasonable size and depth and if it was cold there was an indoor one you could use. On the two peak/busy sunny days it was still possible to find a lounge at mid-day and there didn't appear to be any lounge hogging that I could see.
The staff would generally go out of their way to make your trip memorable. At first I did notice some seemed disconnected but after a smile and greeting them by their name they became animated and friendly and go out of their way to service you when you next met them. On a couple of occasions I encountered some of passengers displaying a sense of entitlement and being generally rude to staff which could explain why some of the staff appear down. Generally the passengers being rude were the older traveller who should have known better.
The nightly shows were of a high standard and during the day there were numerous activities so if you get bored on this ship then you are not getting out enough.
Wifi is available in the room at rates starting at 75c/m. The connection wasn't good enough to hold a skype call and should you need to make a call using your mobile on the Cellular at Sea network (Celebrity Network) then expect to pay $8/minute or for mobile data $18/Mb.
Whether you like your poison in a dark lounge or up on deck there is a bar for you. We had the premium drink package which more than paid for itself and it was great to just hand over the card and not have to worry. We tried a number of things we would not normally have done like the various teas and coffees at the cafe and little things like sparkling water with dinner and a vitamin water to take back to the cabin to help start the day.
Overall a great ship and we will be back on her sometime soon
Here is a little slide show of our experience:

(POOL/CNN) -Most Americans believe Congress should extend long-term unemployment benefits, according to a new Quinnipiac University survey.
The poll found 58 percent of registered voters said they supported a three month extension of the benefits.
The poll indicates a partisan divide, with 83 percent of Democrats and 54 percent of Independents supporting an extension.
Fifty-four percent of Republicans polled opposed the extension.
Legislation to extend the jobless benefits cleared a hurdle in the Senate earlier this week with the help of some Republicans.
But it could face further trouble if Democrats and Republicans can't agree on how to pay for the bill.

Daily News
---- — NEWTON — Newton battled to a 14-20 record in 2012, and have since lost a number of talented seniors to graduation. Peyton Wyatt, Mark Mammoser, AJ Hyatt and Connor Walters have all moved on, leaving behind a fresh-faced group eager to make their mark in the Little Illini Conference.
"This will be a great chance for a young team to show what they are made of," Eagles' coach Jason Fulton said.
Newton will still have three capable seniors to help the new contributors, starting with senior pitcher Elijah Knepper. The southpaw has already committed to Olney Central College, and should again be one of the top pitchers across central Illinois.
"He's pretty good," Fulton said. "Six-four lefty, throws pretty hard, very good control with a live fastball and sharp breaking ball," Fulton said. "(He's) one of the best pitchers in the area."
Knepper missed all of basketball season with a knee injury, but is working hard to get back to full strength. Fulton expects him to be cleared April 1, and knows the Eagles' success will like be determined by his job on the mound.
"It's going to depend on how much we can ride Knepper," he said. "If he struggles, we will probably struggle."
Seniors Dylan Davidson and Derek Schackmann will also see time on the mound. Davidson, who is coming off a stellar winter season in which he earned honorable mention IBCA All-State honors in basketball, will use his superb athleticism to track down fly balls in center field when he is not on the mound. Schackmann figures to be used plenty in the outfield as well.
A trio of juniors will give Fulton five strong arms to turn toward in total with Tanner Shull, Allen Taylor and Kyle Woods all logging innings at pitcher. Shull gives the Eagles a little more experience on the mound after performing as one of Newton's top pitchers last spring, and will hold down the third base position when he's not tossing fastballs. Taylor will also see time in the outfield.
Shull started game one for Newton Saturday, tossing three innings in a last-inning 8-7 loss to Pana. Woods and Caleb Chesnut also saw time on the hill.
Both Taylor and Woods are considered newcomers for the Eagles, having seem limited action during their sophomore campaigns.
Catcher Lucas Huston should help the inexperienced pitching staff settle down in 2013, as Huston was a fixture on last year's lineup.
"He did a nice job last year," Fulton said. "He'll have a better year this year. He's very good behind the plate."
Completing the infield are Chesnut and Weston Shipman. Shipman is a powerful lefty that should start plenty of games at first, while Chesnut will primarily play short stop with some innings on the mound. When Shull is not pitching, he will hold down the third base position.
The rest of the open spots should be hotly contested as the season gets underway.
"(We) graduated a ton of talent last year," Fulton said. "We're going to be playing a lot of juniors, a couple sophomores."
Knepper will have to be especially huge to adjust the offense that was lost from last year's senior-laden group. Newton's youth could show at the plate, where Fulton believes his team faces the biggest question mark.
"More than anything," he said, "we probably graduated most of our offense. Caleb will be one of our better hitters, and Tanner."
In spite of the youth, Fulton hasn't adjusted his goals. He expects the Eagles to be a challenger in the new LIC no matter who cracks the rotation.
"We set our goals to win the conference and win the regional every year," he said. "We have a legitimate shot of winning the conference, but we know it's going to be very difficult."
Newton currently sits at 0-1, and travel to Altamont on Thursday.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com/AP) – The driver of a bus that crashed into an overpass on Soldiers Field Road in Boston last winter has been charged.
Samuel J. Jackson was arraigned Tuesday on one count of negligent operation of a motor vehicle as well as civil charges of failing to obey a sign and operating a bus on a Dept. of Conservation and Recreation roadway.
Jackson was driving the bus carrying dozens of Pennsylvania teenagers taking part in a tour of Harvard University on Feb. 2.
More than 30 people suffered minor injuries and one person was paralyzed.
Investigators said they couldn't determine how fast the bus was traveling when it struck Western Avenue overpass, but noted a number of warning signs including some containing flashing lights.
The owner of the bus company Jackson was working for said he was looking at a GPS just before the crash and saw the bridge when he looked up.
Most passengers weren't seriously hurt, but one teen had a serious spinal cord injury.
The group was with the nonprofit Destined for a Dream Foundation based in Bristol, Pa.

My nephew is killed by Oakland police
by Wanda Sabir
I know the neighborhood where Aba was killed well. My daughter and I used to live just around the corner from where the crash and foot chase happened, near Oakland's Highland Hospital.
I invited Aba and his mother, Octavia, to the Susan L. Taylor kick-off just three weeks ago: A New Way Forward: Healing What's Hurting Black America. I told Octavia that she would meet some of the organizers who could help her with Aba, like Baayan Bakari, who is at The Mentoring Center, Dr. Shawn Ginwright, whose specialty is addressing the violence and dysfunction among urban youth, and Dereca Blackmon, who is project director for Oakland Cares and an expert on radical healing exemplified in her outstanding work with youth at Leadership Excellence. We even invited Aba's parole officer.
Perhaps if Aba had heard the youths' stories he might not have been in the car yesterday. It's all about choice and sometimes one makes certain choices based on one's known world.
The police also make choices, and theirs is to shoot to kill. The news report said this was the sixth shooting in recent months and four out of the six ended in fatality.
What a wasted life! Aba had so much to live for, so much unexplored. Black America really does need to look at a new way forward and, for boys like Aba who are in crisis, there has to be some kind of on-the-ground mechanism to reach them before the coroner's office does.
We need a better triage system so we stop losing our youth.
On the street, young Black men fear and are feared. They are like the ducks sitting in a row at the amusement park: Aim and shoot is the protocol. The ducks are all taken dead; there are no live ducks sitting on the wire when the game is played right.
One would think that if in the six police altercations, the four people killed were shot in pursuit, then perhaps one shouldn't run. But even if one stops, that doesn't mean one isn't going to die.
As Aba's mother said, the police only come into the Black community to kill our youth, hardly ever as friends. I never heard in the report that the youth in the car were shooting at the police, just that guns were found. So why the excessive force?

21 thoughts on "My nephew is killed by Oakland police"
this guy had a gun and pulled it out while running from the police. This story is so sad but you cannot go blaming the OPD for every gang related death on our streets. Had he not been stopped we'd likely be reading about a different murder happening.↓
But we really need to figure out how to bring kids like this to trial.
Will the next person that thinks about calling the cops to stop a gang hit fail to make that call, because they don't want their friends killed by the police?
The failure of the OPD to take the occupants of the car into custody alive may well mean that the next gang slaying is not prevented.
Jean Quan was reasonably eloquent when describing her memories of Oscar Grant, maybe she will be able to convince the OPD to explore ways to reduce the situations that they fire their guns.
While I agree that the OPD did not incite the incident, they did not make the streets safer.
The person that tipped off the cops was undoubtedly trying to save a life, and instead is trying to figure out if they should not have let the hit happen and just hope that the victim got lucky.
Even if it is determined that the OPD had no real choice but to shoot, I would hope that they will apologize to the family that lost a loved one, but the OPD seems too intent on protecting its own to allow actions that would make those of us who live in Oakland to be safer.↓

"running from" meaning fleeing.
History will tell (truthfully or not) if the young man was shot in the back.
How dare one assume that Aba was a potential murderer ?
That reminds me of a delightful comment entered by a cop unbder the pseudoinymn of "John Q Citizen" on Justice4Idriss weeks after my child was killed " Who cares about your dead baboon on welfare ? the sack of shit is eating dirt, good riddance"↓
We need video to establish what really happened. The Oscar Grant case became as big as it did, and Mehserle was given an unprecedented sentence—not justice, but unprecedented, for an armed officer to get time for that.
If network TV were responsible, they'd have roaming video teams on the street with the electronics to pick up signals about where the police are rushing to next, and they'd be following to film this stuff.↓
Malaika H Kambon
i hadn't heard that he'd pulled a gun on the OPD…↓
The police alleged that he pulled out a gun while running from the police. Yes the story is sad, with a sad ending. The OPD alleged that he was a gang member. I don't believe that the police is being blamed for every gang related death on our streets. But I seen the body and it was a "OVER KILL"!!!!!!!!!!!!. Had he not been shot over 10 times, and only injured, to tell the truth!!!!!!!!!! If he had lived, we would still be reading about a different murder happening↓
Der Kosmonaut
When will Black Americans get it? When will Black Americans stop calling the police to deal with their own issues when it's obvious that the police don't care and when most of the time when the police are called, they deal with the problems only by lethal force? How many times have I read and heard of Blacks calling the police only to cry when the person gets killed by the police?
Blacks in the US need to police themselves and must organise how to deal with the many issues afflicting them on their own. Blacks must stop relying on the oppressive and racist State to solve their own problems. Until that happens, the State will continue to kill.↓
Malaika H Kambon
I agree, Der Kosmonaut… i agree.↓
Freddy F
Hello, There was no call to the police re this event, so I'm not sure why you brought up 'blacks calling police'. The police spotted a car reportedly involved in a shooting the previous Friday. Police officers attempted to pull the car over, but the driver did not stop … until he crashed into someone's fence. Also, it is rather obvious that police don't always shoot people — to answer the question you posed. Hyperbole is useful for illustration sometimes, but it is also useful for avoiding accurate assessment.↓
mesha Monge-Irizarry
I do not think it is helpful to post our enlightened opinions here.
Please keep in mind that for us Grieving Families, who desperately look for solace, hoping for words of comfort AMYWHERE, even the press after our L:oved Ones are killed….
speculations only add injury to our shock and grief.
Wanda, I am so terribly sorry…. Please convey my heartfelt condolences to your family
In Unity & respect
mesha Minge-Irizarry
Idriss Stelley's Mom.↓
Malaika H Kambon
Wanda and all of the extended Families: You have my deepest condolences. I live within shouting distance of this, and actually heard it – but then i hear this alla time… i lived within shouting distance of where Huey P. Newton was killed as well – but then, I heard gun shots over there too, alla time – so much so that i used to be quite adept at identifying what kind of weaponry was used, either by OPD, the so-called 'security' teams in the housing complex i was in – or other folx wit' iron…
be that as it may –
Der Kosmonaut is still correct – as long as we allow killers to 'police' us – they will – wit' deadly force.
War Without Terms,
I am so sorry for your loss as well, Wanda. What a story to read on Christmas Day. But I came to visit the Bay View site this morning and was not going to refuse to read it to protect my own holiday while yours is so painful.↓
John Mulligan
He was in a gang. He was hunting other gang members. He had a gun. An assault rifle was found in the car he was in. If there is a tragedy here, it is in his upbringing and his choices. The fault for his death lies with him and his mother. You have to do more than just give your kids impressive names.↓
we need vodou police, like in Haiti, nome sayn:
traditional African system take care of us betta than tha light skinned gniquas system of laws.↓
Raul K
All these young black men dying, if not shooting each other, then by police. Why make it easy by picking up
a gun and challenging the cops?! Running just makes them chase, cops live for this, it is one of the reasons
they become cops. Control freaks with guns, and the youth makes it easy for them by looking like prey, by running. How long will this be allowed to go on? Cops will not stop it, they are invested in it continuing as are the people that employ them. Youth can't, they are angry at injustice, perceived and real, and most youth have little control over themselves. Hard to reason with an angry person. Aba and his mother may have been looking for answers to help with the challenges he faced; on parole at 19 and bored with the presentations of those who were trying to help, sounds like he was already lost.
How may generations must be lost before this is stopped? It is a loss for everyone, not just his mother, not
just the black community, but everyone he and all like him, dead, drug ridden or incarcerated, could have touched in their lives and made a better world for us all. A lot lost there, the future. Our future.↓
My greatest sorry goes out for the lost of our young brother and family member. Lest you forget where the guns are coming from? Let our youth know the truth. Guns are deliberately put in their hands as illusions of power but the true story is Racial Genocide. During the 1990s, the feds busted a ring of investors deliberately implanting guns from China and Northern Europe in communities of color to disrupt our entire social order and cause CHAOS. Part of the wider group of extremely influential business people not directly implicated in the conspiracy by federal indictment was U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein's husband (COSCO Container Lines). High powered and fully automatic weapons and drugs by the shipload come through the Port of Oakland targeted for Black and Brown "GANG BANGERS" to deliberately disrupt social order, kill themselves and give the Prison-Police-Military-Industrial System ground to exterminate them. Let our children come of age with the TRUTH of this Damn System.↓
Princeray: I challenge to provide documentation for any of your claims.↓
Nothing, Princeray, you've got nothing. You're lying. You have no proof, not even anything close to proof. Either cough it up or apologize.↓
John Mulligan
Princeray, surely you aren't suggesting that black youths are so irresponsible that putting a gun in their hands is the same as shooting them? Are you saying that there should be a racial standard for weapons ownership? I don't.
The US Supreme court agrees with me in the cases of Heller and McDonald. Both Heller and McDonald are black men who sued for the right to own a weapon in DC and Chicago, respectively. They won. Your argument, Princeray, suggests that black people should not be allowed to own guns or that they are nearly childlike and need to be protected from firearms. What a racist and irritating concept.
Far more difficult, Princeray, is the policy of taking responsibility for your own actions. Mr. Edwards died because of Mr. Edwards. Not some made up conspiracy to ship guns to the hood. Mr. Edwards died because his mom thought that using some lame name she picked from a list would be enough to raise her son.↓

I studied the defendant case files, and FBI's 302 reports. I wish it wasn't true. I also wish that the African and Jewish Holocaust-Genocide never had taken place, but these people are real, very rich, influential and concealed by smoke mirrors and illusions. Do we blame the Jews for the Holocaust-Genocide committed by the SS supported by the concealed Rockefellers and Wall Street power elite?↓

After a recent gig at the Hotel Café, a cozy Hollywood hot spot and the premier music venue for singer-songwriters in Los Angeles, I helped the multi-talented musician Ethan Gold schlep gear out to his car. I followed him into the greenroom through the door marked "Performers Only." For years I'd always been curious what it looked like in there. Spoiler alert: it's just a small cramped room filled with amps and guitars in cases. It's not the room that contains the magic but the artists who pass through.
"Do you have my album?" Ethan asked.
"Not yet," I admitted a bit sheepishly.
He handed me a copy of Songs From A Toxic Apartment, his deluxe debut CD, as a thank you for my pseudo-roadie duties.
When I arrived home that night, lying on the air mattress in my own toxic apartment, a cockroach-infested pool house in North Hollywood I'd rented for the summer sight unseen, I listened to the CD all the way through while reading the liner notes as Ethan's voice streamed through my laptop speakers.
My first thought: Wow - This guy is seriously talented.
((photo by Ari Gold))
Ethan wrote every song, sang every line, played every instrument, and engineered and mixed the album himself.
Consciously crafted to take the listener on a journey into a dreamscape, the record is sometimes dark but ultimately redemptive. Songs plays well as a cohesive whole, from the first track, "(Intro,)" we hear Ethan's tired footsteps and jangling keys turning the lock to his apartment alone late at night. We're with him through the self-soothing lullaby, "Why Don't You Sleep?" and hear his vulnerability on "That" (Reprise) a beautifully sparse acoustic track that is quiet, restrained and alive with his breath. On "Nonstop," Ethan infuses a funky beat with lyrics exploring seedy nightlife in the city and laments another lonely night on "Tonight…" While despair and isolation loom large in his story, the final track, "To Isis Sleeping," finds Gold emerging from the darkness. He isn't alone anymore. Gone are the sirens, crows, storms and helicopters looming outside his window. He is enveloped in a cleansing shower, the water raining down on him, washing away the toxicity that had crept into his psyche.
((artwork/design by Sol Sender, Javier Lopez and Ethan Gold))
The aesthetic of the artwork and liner notes add to the experience. From the album cover, the viewer is inside the toxic apartment peeking at Ethan through the peephole as he ascends the stairs. Inside, the wallpaper is peeling; spattered with stains and hung family photos. The lyrics seem scrawled in a frantic hand, eager to capture thoughts born of insomnia and haunting memories.
Ethan's work has previously appeared in films that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival including Mean Creek (2004) and Adventures of Power (2008,) a quirky heartfelt comedy about air drumming written, directed and starring his twin brother, Ari Gold, for which Ethan composed all of the original music as well as the score.
((photo by Bojana Obradovic))
Accustomed to chronic sleeplessness, Ethan often writes his introspective alternative rock songs "while dreaming or in the altered state of insomnia," and has been compared to artists like Elliott Smith and Radiohead. His music is layered, emotional, edgy, and restrained.
You can buy Songs From A Toxic Apartment on Amazon.com, iTunes or, preferably, directly from the artist at www.EthanGold.com.

Funding potential in question
By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — Exchanging school property taxes for hikes in other taxes could come with a bigger increase in personal income tax for Pennsylvania wage earners than previously suggested.
The House Finance Committee on Monday held a second public hearing on House Bill 1776, or the Property Tax Independence Act. The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Jim Cox, R-Berks, aims to achieve the long-discussed goal of eliminating property taxes to fund public schools by creating increases in sales and personal income taxes, as well as the inclusion of previously untaxed goods and services.
But new figures from the state Department of Revenue show a $3.5 billion gap between the estimated $12.5 billion earned by property taxes, and what the new tax structure would raise. In response, Cox said he and bill co-sponsors would consider increasing the personal income tax even further to meet the mark.
Given the new figures, some representatives were uncertain about the plan's ability to support the needs of public education.
At a public hearing for the bill two weeks ago, the funding gap was estimated at $500 million, said state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Luzerne, House Finance Committee chairwoman. But leaving a gap of at least $3.5 billion puts districts in "a horrible bind," Mundy said.
"We do need to shift sales and income tax or some sort of revenue to replace property taxes," Mundy said at the hearing, "but in your bill, there seems to be, even now, a lot of confusion on exactly how much revenue your bill will generate."
Cox said eliminating property taxes isn't about sticking school districts with a shortfall. Revenue neutrality is the goal, he said, though he doubted the $3.5 billion figure.
"We're in agreement the personal income tax is the place we would need to look to fill that void," Cox said.
Cox has generated support for the bill among 70 co-sponsors, 20 of whom are Democrats, as well as state residents.
Pennsylvania's personal income tax rate is just more than 3 percent, the lowest flat tax rate personal income tax in the nation. Cox's original plan would boost that rate to 4 percent, a nearly 33 percent increase, which, according to estimates from Cox's office, would bring in $3.46 million annually.
A sales tax increase would be from 6 percent to 7 percent statewide, with the exclusion of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, which would see 8 percent.
Mark Robyn, an economist with the Tax Foundation, a national taxation research group, said that while other states dedicate a specific tax to a specific need, focusing on income tax is a unique choice because it usually funds general government services.
"You don't know where your public service demand might change in the future," he said.
But to Cox, changing the funding from property taxes to sales and income taxes along with expanding taxes on goods and services makes the system more fair.
"The goal of this legislation is about getting the question before the House and before the Senate: Do we want to change the source from a local school district tax which is burdening homeowners, driving people out of their homes, to something we feel is more fair and more stable and more able to directly reflect the economy, the ebbs and flows the economy more directly, without compromising home ownership?"
Citing the 10,000 homeowners who lose their property annually because of inability to pay property taxes, Cox reminded lawmakers they were elected to represent taxpayers, and not the special interests.
Those who opposed the legislation Monday included the Pennsylvania Bar Association on the grounds of expanding taxes to legal services and the Pennsylvania Retailers Association because of potential negatives effects of an increased sales tax.
Groups that support the act include the Pennsylvania State Grange, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and Pennsylvania Coalition for Taxpayers Associations.
The committee is scheduled to vote on the act Monday.

Adrian Locke, 39, named as Teme Road murder victim
3:59pm Thursday 3rd January 2013 in Worcester By Sarah Davies
POLICE have named the victim of a stabbing in Worcester last night as 39-year-old Adrian Locke.
Paramedics discovered him outside 42a Teme Road at about 7.22pm with multiple stab wounds after they were called to the street by members of the public.
Mr Locke, who has family in Droitwich and Worcester, was confirmed dead at the scene by a doctor soon after. A post mortem is taking place this afternoon to determine the exact cause of death.
The property remains cordoned off as a large number of specialist officers from West Mercia Police gather evidence.
Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, Chief Inspector Paul Kinsella of West Mercia Police said the motive for the attack was not yet known and there were no suspects at this stage.
In a prepared statement, he said: "We have a large number of officers working on this investigation, from specialist search teams and major investigation detectives to local officers and PCSOs manning the cordons and helping the public.
"The investigation team are at a very early stage in their inquiries and need to speak to anyone who knew Adrian and who saw him yesterday. They are particularly interested in his whereabouts between 5pm and 7.20pm.
"We have been told that Adrian was staying with a friend in Teme Road and he was found by paramedics outside the neighbouring property of 42a after they were called by members of the public.
"He had a number of stab wounds and despite their best efforts and that of a doctor who attended along with the paramedics, they declared him dead soon after.
"We need to trace anyone who was at the scene, particularly before the emergency services arrived. We are especially keen to hear from anyone who saw someone or some people make off from the scene, whether that was on foot, by bike or in a vehicle.
"We want to hear from anyone who visited 42a or knew who was there that day. If you were in the Teme Road area last night and saw or heard any suspicious activity of any kind, please call us."
Anyone with information can call police on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymous on 0800 555111, quoting incident number 514-S-02/01/13.

The wholly owned US subsidiary of Martin Professional A/S, Martin Professional, Inc., has announced several promotions as well as a new sales structure designed to better service the various markets the company supplies.
Eric Loader, previously director of sales for the company, is now vice president of sales and marketing. "As our company continues to grow, we need to improve the way we sell and deliver our products to the US, Caribbean, Mexican, and Central American markets," he says. "Our number one goal is focused on how we can best service our dealers. This has brought on the changes in our sales department in order to maximize our resources as well as focus more on our dealers' needs.
Newly appointed, but veterans in the company, there are now three directors of sales assigned to the three key business units: Timothy Brennan in rental/production; Jamey Brock in retail/club; and Frank Montero in installation/projects.
In addition to this and reporting to the corresponding director of sales, market managers have been assign-ed to each key segment: Mark Nelson in installation projects; Dave Chesal in clubs; and Gary Fallon in retail. A market manager for rental/production will be assigned shortly. Each sales territory (West, Central, East, and Export) will now also have regional managers focused on these key market segments.
"What does this mean to the market?" Loader continues. "Martin now has over 25 sales staff focused on selling solutions to service our customers' needs. While there are still a few spots to fill, we believe that even though there is some cross-over with those dealers who actively practice business in two or more of the primary markets, having our staff focused on the core businesses they supply will allow us to better understand the needs and market conditions. Yes, that means there are up to five or six sales personnel who might call on one large account, but typically, that will be specific individuals within that account focused on their primary markets. There will be some key account managers when required as well." (www.martinpro.com)
