More than one out of every three children in Lewiston live in poverty, the highest rate in the state, according to a report released Monday about the status of Maine children.
Statewide 22 percent of Maine children, more than one out of every five, and 17 percent of children under 18 live in poverty, according to the Annie E. Casey's Foundation's Maine Kid's Count report, released Monday by the Maine Children's Alliance.
Lewiston's child poverty percentage is 41.68 percent.
"That's shocking. It's more than four out of 10," said Elinor Goldberg, executive vice president of the Maine Children's Alliance.
Auburn has the second highest percentage of children in poverty, 26.59 percent, and Portland the third, 26.29 percent, according to the report.
The report uses the federal definition of poverty, which is an income of $22,000 or less for a family of four. That's not enough to buy basic necessities, Goldberg said.
Growing up poor doesn't doom a child to an unsuccessful life, but poor children are more likely to struggle in school, have health problems or be involved with crime, Goldberg said.
"The frightening thing is that the national projections show it's going to continue to rise. Unemployment rates are not going to drop for a long time," she said. That means the number of children growing up poor will continue to rise.
The biggest reason for higher poverty is the bad economy and unemployment, Goldberg said. The point of focusing on poverty is to give information so officials can act, Goldberg said.
There are no easy short-term fixes, but supporting programs like health care and Head Start help ensure "poor kids are not as harmed as they might have been," she said.
Lewiston-Auburn officials may want to respond by creating a poverty commission "to get a grip on what's going on, what are the things we can do to help," Goldberg said.
But Sen. Margaret Craven, D-Lewiston, said Lewiston and Auburn mayors "did that exercise" last summer. "In this economy it's difficult to implement the initiatives."
Craven said she was "horrified to see those numbers. I couldn't imagine that the poverty rate was so high in Lewiston. It's troubling because the numbers are lagging."
The report's numbers come from the American Community Survey, which used three-year averages from 2006-08, before many jobs were shed in the recession. According to the Maine Children's Alliance, the previous number for child poverty in Lewiston from 2005-07 was higher, 43.8 percent.
Part of the answer, Craven said, "is making sure we start creating jobs in an accelerated manner." State legislators are discussing job creation bonds that could go to voters. If passed, the bonds would include millions for Lewiston in rail development and clean water projects, she said.
Lewiston Mayor Larry Gilbert agreed. "We have the two poorest census tracks in the city." That seems to be synonymous with the report, he said.
Lewiston is a service center community, as is Portland. But Portland has the ocean and more businesses and wealth, Gilbert said.
"We've also had a significant refugee immigrant population move in," Gilbert said. Some of the Bantu and Somali came with little formal education, which makes it harder to seek employment. "Although they do," he said. "But it's going to take some time."
And Lewiston's manufacturing jobs have been sent overseas, which he blames on Congress. There should be a penalty on companies that get rich by moving jobs overseas to get slave labor, Gilbert said.
"You hear people complain about welfare. Corporate welfare exceeds what social welfare costs. I would love to have good manufacturing jobs." A proposed Lewiston casino could help with jobs, he said.
Genevieve Lysen of the Maine People's Alliance in Lewiston called the number "heartbreaking" and said that "parents are struggling to provide for their children."
Unemployment is higher in Lewiston-Auburn than in Portland and Bangor, she said. "The government, at the local, state and federal levels, must take an active role in putting people back to work," Lysen said.

Nathan Hughes
Rory Pitman
Hughes, 21, is a young Fijian who hugely impressed playing for Auckland in their most recent ITM Cup campaign, playing a key role in helping his side reach the final. While featuring mainly at number 8 for Auckland, Hughes can also play on the blind side and at lock.
Pitman, 23, is a destructive ball carrying number 8 who has represented Wales at U16, U18 and U20 level and has previous experience at the Ospreys and Glasgow, where he spent six months on loan. Like Hughes, Pitman also has New Zealand provincial experience, having previously had a spell with Taranaki.
London Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young said: "Nathan is a very exciting young prospect with a real appetite to better himself. He offers us huge versatility, being able to play three positions, and he's a very strong ball carrier. I've known about Rory's ability for some time and I think he has a lot of potential. He's a very good player and if he knuckles down here and takes his opportunity he has a big future."

ATLANTA (June 8, 2009) – Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity president and chief executive officer Chris McCarthy was recently awarded the national Home Ownership Participation for Everyone award for leadership in Washington, D.C. HOPE Award recipients are selected on the basis of leadership and achievement in helping minority families realize and sustain the dream of homeownership.
"I am honored to have received recognition through this award," said McCarthy. "It is a testament to the hard work of our affiliate and the many partners and donors in Nashville who play a major role in helping to make homeownership possible for families in need."
McCarthy was selected from three finalists and 100 nominations nationwide and is the first Tennessean to receive this award. In addition to being recognized at the HOPE Awards gala in May, she received a $10,000 honorarium that she plans to donate to the Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity.
The HOPE Awards is a national industry awards program that is sponsored through a partnership of real estate associations and was created in 2001 to recognize individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to increasing minority homeownership, revitalizing communities and expanding affordable housing opportunities.

Come the end of the Euro 2012 match between Spain and Italy, there's a good chance that Cesare Prandelli will be branded as either a genius or an incompetent madman. He's selected a three-man defense for Italy, and his team is littered with guys who are either playing out of position or not currently first choice for their clubs. In the case of young left back Emanuele Giaccherini, he's picked a player who is both.
Vicente Del Bosque's team is an adventurous one as well. He's picked midfielder Cesc Fabregas as a center forward, giving a vote of no confidence to Fernando Torres.
Spain Lineup (4-3-3): Iker Casillas; Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Alvaro Arbeloa; Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi Hernandez; Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva
Italy Lineup (3-5-2): Gianluigi Buffon; Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Daniele De Rossi; Emanuele Giaccherini, Thiago Motta, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Christian Maggio; Antonio Cassano, Mario Balotelli
Kickoff is at 12 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. local time from Gdansk, Poland. You can catch the game on ESPN in the USA, BBC One in the UK and TSN in Canada.

Newspapers in Independence, Kan., reported that pranksters committed more vandalism during Halloween 1918 than the citizens found tolerable. As a result, city leaders decided a healthy diversion from mean-spirited Halloween antics might be a solution. So they created festivities for "Neewollah" - Halloween spelled backward - as an outlet for young people's autumn energies. What began as a one-day county fair, parade and rodeo has grown into southeastern Kansas' largest celebration the last full week of October.

Welcome to Onslow St Audrey's
Our Ethos and Vision
Thank you for visiting our website which I hope will give you some important information about our school and a flavour of what it is to be a member of our community.
Onslow St Audrey's School has changed enormously in recent years and we now have a reputation as a vibrant learning community where students achieve excellent results. Our aim is for every student, by the age of 16, to have achieved at least 5 GCSEs or their equivalent at grade C or higher. A glance at our examination results shows how close we come to achieving this goal. Similarly, we want all of our 18 year-olds to pass their exams at levels that reflect their potential, and I am sure you will be as impressed as I am with our results here.
But our vision for Onslow St Audrey's goes beyond valuing learning and academic achievement. Working relationships here are warm and based on mutual respect, and our partnerships with local, national and international charities, businesses and partners are strong and show we are an outward facing school. As a Business and Enterprise Academy we promote and value self-confidence, innovation, imagination, collaboration, resilience and striving for success. We are an inclusive and comprehensive school which welcomes students of all abilities, from the gifted and talented to those with special educational needs and disabilities. We are one of only two secondary schools in Hertfordshire with a specialist Speech and Language base catering for up to twelve students with specific communication needs.
Ours is a busy and vibrant community and a rich environment with many visits, clubs, sports and other activities. We care for the whole student and believe we must prepare young people to be responsible citizens who contribute actively to the community and the wider world. To encourage participation in school life beyond the classroom, all students use Didbook to record their goals and activities and Tutors regularly discuss these with their students.
Our vision is to challenge the minds of young people, inspire success and develop a passion for life. Visitors to the school comment on its friendly, happy, warm and calm atmosphere, and we nurture friendship, tolerance and respect for others. We have high expectations of behaviour and uniform, and we ask parents and carers to support us in our work. In return we offer high standards of teaching and a welcoming, happy, safe community.
Paul Meredith
Our Aims
Every student of the school has the right to equal respect and consideration, and to an education which allows all to reach their full potential so they are well prepared for adult life.
We aim to:
- provide students the best education possible, regardless of their social, cultural or religious backgrounds, their ability or needs, their gender or beliefs;
- ensure students are challenged, motivated, supported, inspired and cared for;
- valueand celebrate effort and success, challenge underachievement and develop talents and interests;
- provide a learning environment which is safe, happy, stimulating and welcoming;
- work with and support parents/carers, and to consult students and parents on the quality of the learning experience.
Student Voice
Students make a very important contribution to school improvement, and there are many ways we gather the ideas of students. The documents below are the product
of work done by Year Councils and School Parliament.

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) _ Students at Northern State University are voting this week on whether to ban smoking from campus.
Student representative Kody Kyriss tells the Aberdeen American News (http://bit.ly/138BjG4) that voting begins Wednesday morning and ends Friday at 5 p.m. If students pass the referendum, it would then be referred to the faculty and staff for a vote.
The smoking referendum calls for signs to be placed around Northern declaring the campus smoke free, and disposal bins for cigarettes would be taken away.
Kryiss says the results of the vote are expected to be tallied quickly.
Northern State and South Dakota State University are the only public universities in the state without a completely smoke-free policy. The most recent state university campus to become smoke-free is the University of South Dakota.

Both sides will soon get a chance to voice their concerns to an agency regulating the mine.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management will hold a public hearing Thursday regarding the permit application for a coal mine near the Dovertown community of Cordova. The hearing will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 28, in the Tom Bevill Auditorium (Building 1400) at the Sumiton campus of Bevill State Community College.
The proposed mine, called Reed Mineral No. 5, will be located several miles upstream from the Birmingham Water Works Board's Western Filtration Plant.
The BWWB sent a letter of objection to ADEM officials in 2008. The letter listed 11 concerns about the proposed mine. They included higher levels of iron and manganese in the source water, which could increase treatment costs, stain clothes, sinks and tubs, and cause an "objectionable taste" to the water, according to the BWWB.
"This draft permit does not appear to have explicitly addressed known and suspected contaminants from mining operation that currently have water quality standards in the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River," the letter states. "Furthermore it is evident that the draft permit has not considered the drinking water use of the river, and is wholly inadequate to protect the Board and its large customer base from many pollutants commonly associated with mining activities."
The nonprofit conservation group Black Warrior Riverkeeper has also publicly opposed the mine. A statement by the group said the Reed Mineral No. 5 permit allows significant degradation of the source of drinking water for 200,000 people.
Another proposed mine, called Shepherd's Bend Mine, could operate even closer — as close as 800 feet — to the BWWB's water intake for the Western Filtration Plant. Riverkeeper Nelson Brooke said the group is concerned there has been no study of the cumulative effect of the two proposed mines on the waterway.
"That's a missing piece that is pretty crucial," he said.
Many city leaders in Cordova, however, say Reed Mineral No. 5 could bring a needed economic boost to the city.
The mineral rights to 155 acres of the proposed site are owned by the Cordova Industrial Development Board. Jack Drummond, a member of the Cordova IDB, said Reed Minerals of Jasper agreed to give the City of Cordova 8 percent of the money from every ton of coal extracted from the site.
"We looked at it as a chance for Cordova to grow," he said.
When asked about concerns of water quality, Drummond (no relation to the Drummond Coal family) said he and other city leaders are confident in the quality standards set by ADEM and BWWB.
"We know they have to verify the water their shipping to us is good," he said.
Drummond also said Reed Mineral officials have a good record for ensuring public health standards for their operations.
Representatives from Reed Mineral said it is the company's policy not to comment on pending regulatory measures.
Scott Hughes, an ADEM spokesperson, said the agency will require Reed Mineral officials to regularly provide discharge monitoring reports, and ADEM representatives regularly conduct on-site inspections of mining operations.
Brooke said that, though ADEM's regulations regarding coal mines have improved in the last few years, there are many areas in which the agency can improve.
"We don't see very regular inspections of coal mines as far as ADEM's end," Brooke said.
Lecil Stack, a member of Citizens Opposed to Strip Mining on the Black Warrior River, said the site of the proposed mine includes a mile of riverfront property, and he feels there is a better use for the land — one that will attract more businesses and residents.
Stacks also said more than 100 families live in the Dovertown community and the nearest home is about 100 feet away from the proposed site. In addition to worries about water quality, he said many people are concerned about the effects coal dust will have on the overall health of the community.
Carolyn Carr, a member of Citizens Opposed to Strip Mining on the Black Warrior River, said the Dovertown community will be hurt by the mine while the City of Cordova receives the money from the project.
"What makes them more important than we are; That has always bothered me," she said. "The only thing we'll see from this mine is our homes will be torn up and our lives will be torn apart."

After a federal lawsuit pushed the state toward releasing 680 civilly committed sex offenders who have essentially been serving life sentences, a task force is now considering some big changes.
The state spends $73 million annually to treat 680 convicted sex offenders at two lock-up facilities in Moose Lake and St. Peter, all of whom are kept there under civil commitment laws. Most never leave, but that may be about to change.
Thomas Duvall is a convicted rapist who committed his crime and did his time a long time ago, but he still sits behind razor wire. That said, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman recently signed off on his release after turning him down just two years ago.
"When he came up this time, he had 27 conditions and we added more," Freeman said. "Mr. Duvall was not found guilty by his peers and given a sentence of life without parole. He's done everything anyone has asked and it would be wrong to keep him in."
FOX 9 News dug up the original police reports from 26 years ago that detail how Duvall raped a 17-year-old girl at knifepoint, tied her up with electrical cords and beat her over the head with a hammer. He served 13 years in prison and was then civilly committed as a sexual psychopath.
For the last 13 years, Duvall has been a so-called "client" in the Minnesota Sex Offender Program. If his release is approved, he will be only the second man in the 20-year history of the MSOP to get out.
On Wednesday night, a court-ordered task force wrestled with what to do with the 680 other men in the program -- men who are four times more likely to reoffend than the average sex offender, yet half will never re-offend. Essentially, it's a coin flip.
"There is no ethical examiner who will say 'this man will re-offend' and 'this man won't,'" Dr. Michael Thompson said.
A Minnesota Supreme Court panel must sign off on releasing Duvall, and Freeman said he believes the state has a moral obligation to do so even though it could be a decision he may regret.
"Am I concerned? Sure," Freeman conceded. "Has he done what the law has asked? Yes. Are we going to be watching him every day? You betcha."
Freeman told FOX 9 News he has his own idea of what should be done. He recommends making the criminal sentences for some sex crimes indefinite, include treatment in prison and require convicts to prove they are better before they are released. As it stands, something must change.
"This is a life sentence," former judge Kathleen Gearin told the task force. "It's not a medical condition. You are being sentenced to life."
The task force has discovered one problem is that there are few places for sex offenders to go when they get out because there are few facilities which are less restrictive than Moose Lake and St. Peter.

This new plan appears TV friendly and could boost the ratings locally and nationally.
Oh, so people are lamenting lower NHL viewership ratings during the Kings-Devils Stanley Cup final are they? It's nothing new.
If an NHL team doesn't play in the Ontario, Quebec, or the US Northeast, does it exist to the traditional hockey media?
A lot of people, both in Philadelphia and nationally, watched hockey on Tuesday night. So much so that Versus broke records for the game, which saw the Flyers snap the Penguins 12-game winning...
The network's broadcast of the first Coyotes-Bruins game at Noon ET/10 AM AZT on Saturday drew an 0.1 HH rating and 116,000 viewers, ahead of all but one of VERSUS' three other NHL Premiere telecasts (SJ/CBJ Friday – 120,000 viewers) but still fairly low, considering the game had the advantage of airing on a weekend when most were home and available to watch. The numbers may have been cannibalized by the fact that NESN in the New England region was allowed to produce their own local telecast, and that the game was airing in the early morning for much of the country, including the Phoenix market. -Puck The Media on the disappointing NHL Premiere TV ratings that Versus DIDN'T put out a press release about (unlike the boffo opening night evening numbers). Check out PTM for a complete roundup and analysis.Puck The Media
Stanley Cup Final TV ratings are in -- and the NHL should be pleased. How will this affect its next TV deal?
NEW YORK, N.Y. (May 18, 2010)-VERSUS, the fastest growing sports cable network in the country, averaged a 1.0 HH rating and 1.041 million viewers for its 2010 Conference Semifinal coverage, making it cable's most-watched second round on record. The average viewership surpasses the entire second round cable average of all prior Playoff seasons through 1994, which is the first Playoff season with available Nielsen electronic ratings and viewership history for the NHL on cable. -From a Versus press release. This basically kills the notion that no one can find Versus.
If you missed any, here's a recap of the week's featured stories from FTR.Rink Side Radio looked at this week's first round action. New show Monday night!It's the first week of awards finalists, so...
Are the Rangers more popular than the Knicks? The Sharks more popular than the A's? A look at how different markets watch their sports teams.

Anne Hathaway Likely to Star in Abi Morgan's The Taming of the Shrew Film
By Adam Hetrick
Golden Globe Award winner and two-time Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway may star in a new film adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, according to the Wrap.
Debra Hayward, who is among the producers of the Oscar-nominated film of Les Misèrables, is developing the film with writer Abi Morgan (Tender, "The Iron Lady," "The Hour") for Working Title.
The film will be a modern-day take on the battle of the sexes that will be set in Italy. Hayward told Playbill.com in late 2012 that she has discussed the project with Hathaway.
Hathaway recently won a Golden Globe Award for playing Fantine in Tom Hooper's film of Les Misèrables. She also earned an Academy Award nomination for her work. Hathaway performed the role of Viola in the music-filled 2009 Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night. Her screen appearances include "The Dark Knight Rises," "Rachel Getting Married," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Love and Other Drugs," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Alice in Wonderland."

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM: It is the stink from the Nature's
Needs/Recology composting site located adjacent to N Plains city
limits. It releases odor, methane gas, carbon dioxide and attracts
vermin and vectors such as seagulls, starlings and rats. These
"hot composting" operations have also at times been associated
with pathogens such as e. coli.
WHO IS RECOLOGY: They are the seventh largest garbage
company in the US and are based in California. They are trucking
yard debris and food waste, including meat and dairy from
Portland to N Plains. Thousands of trucks a year are added to
already crowded roads using thousands of gallons of gas. Is this
a "green operation" as Portland officials intended?
HOW IS IT AFFECTING N PLAINS: The stink is adversely
affecting the livability and quality of life. It is lowering property
values. It is damaging to businesses. It is adversely affecting the
reputation of the town and area. It will discourage any future
growth or development. Starlings and gulls will damage
vineyards, berries and other crops.

When the 2009-10 La Liga season closed, Real Madrid knew they had a problem. For the second straight season the Spanish giants had failed to get past their arch rivals Barcelona for the league title. Worst still they had tallied an absurd 96 points and yet still lost the league by three points to the Blaugrana. Things had to change and team president Florentino Pérez decided to bring in the one man he believed could changed Madrid's fortunes, Jose Mourinho.
Two years later, Madrid are once again champions of Spain. Mission accomplished, rival vanquished, Perez's gamble, not only with Mourinho, but with the astronomical spending on players paid off. Just don't let Sergio Ramos hold the trophy on any motorized parades.
How Madrid overcame what many considered one of the greatest club side in history comes down to many factors, none more important than consistency. With once match left in the season, Los Blancos have only lost twice in the league (once to Barca and once to Levante) and have a chance to eclipse Barca's 99-point record set two years ago. That's right, a potential 100 point season and with nothing else to play for this season, you can bet Madrid will want to finish with that record.
Madrid won by being the best road team in the league, winning 16 of their 19 matches away from home, the best by a fair amount. Purely in terms of goal differential, Madrid was better on the road this season that they were at home.
They won by not only being the best, but by being ridiculously dominant. Los Blancos passed the previous La Liga single-season team goal record of 107 with four matches left the play (they currently sit at 115). They won by having a multi-faceted attack that included three 20+ goal scorers: Cristiano Ronaldo (44), Gonzalo Higuaín (22) and Karim Benzema (20).
Madrid won because they learned from their mistakes and missteps the previous seasons. Madrid lost the title in 2010 in large part because of poor results at key moments. Lapses of focus and concentration that often left Madrid with one point instead of three. They replaced ill timed draws with wins and found ways to still get results even when it wasn't their best day (which honestly wasn't very often).
They won because they were football's version of the Hulk (the big green guy, not the Brazilian footballer) and they smashed everyone in Spain who tried to get in their way.
I don't think anyone doubted Mourinho was capable of building a champion at Madrid. Like him or not, his coaching pedigree has quickly become the stuff of legends, but after his first season at the Bernabéu, not everyone was sure he was the right man for the job.
The first time Mourinho led his side in to an El Clasico match they were humiliated 5-0. While the score lines got closer, the end results didn't improve. Sure there was the 1-0 Copa del Rey victory in 2011, but beyond that Madrid couldn't beat Barcelona. Not in the league, not in the Champions League, it was a hex, a curse, a seemingly insurmountable barrier that even the Special One couldn't break through.
Or so we thought.
Madrid are La Liga champions today because of all the reasons I've already discussed and because they finally beat Barcelona when it really counted (There's more to it of course, but who are we kidding, this is a league where the El Clasico decides the champion). When the league was on the line, when the already insane pressure was at its greatest, when the door was ajar enough for the Catalans to potentially push through, Madrid finally slammed it shut.
Not only that, they did it in the midst of a challenging late season schedule that included trips to Osasuna, Atlético, Barcelona and Athletic, all traditionally difficult places to play. Madrid not only won those matches, they dominated, outscoring those four opponents 14-3. When the pressure was greatest, Mourinho's players responded, something many doubted they might be able to do.
Now Madrid and Mourinho are champions. The Portuguese manager joins a rare club of men who've won league titles in four different countries (his seventh overall) and the Barcelona boss who'd vexed him and the club before he'd ever arrived has left as well. Mourinho stands at the top of the mountain in Spain having put Los Merengues back on top for the first time in three season. He's accomplished his mission, the question is now will he stay to try and do it again.

New Jersey's Christie Discounts a Run in 2012
by Charles Lemos, Tue Jul 27, 2010 at 03:21:57 AM EDT
Since becoming Governor of the Garden State, Chris Christie has garnered the praise of conservatives for his "blunt" talk that included calling New Jersey "a failed state." His pledges to bring about ""smaller government that lives within its means" in Trenton-- and to do so without tax increases, declaring "I was not sent here to approve tax increases, I was sent here to veto them" led to laudatory reviews beginning back in April by Bill McGurn in the Wall Street Journal who went so far that Christie was reviving "Reagan Republicanism -- Jersey style." And John Fund also in the Wall Street Journal noted back in May that conservatives "were impressed by a rare chief executive willing to tackle his state intractable problems in an unapologetic manner." Fund was especially pleased that Christie was taking on the "malign influence of the New Jersey Education Association" which Christie has described as "an absolutely out-of-control union that is used to getting everything it wants." And bonus points were awarded for comparing New Jersey to debt-ridden Greece. Others who have written celebratory pieces include George Will and Marc Thiessen.
Still it is McGurn's original piece from back in April in the Journal that perhaps best captures the "blunt talk" from Christie that has conservatives aglow over the New Jersey Governor. Here are a few examples that McGurn had culled from Governor Christie's budget address, public meetings and radio appearances:
The children will be the ones to suffer from your education cuts. "The real question is, who's for the kids, and who's for their raises? This isn't about the kids. Let's dispense with that portion of the argument. Don't let them tell you that ever again while they are reaching into your pockets."
Your policies favor the rich. "We have the worst unemployment in the region and the highest taxes in America, and that's no coincidence."
Why not renew the 'millionaire's tax'? "The top 1% of taxpayers in New Jersey pay 40% of the income tax. In addition, we've got a situation where that tax applies to small businesses. I'm simply not going to put my foot on the back of the neck of small business while I want them to try to grow jobs by giving more revenue to New Jersey."
Budget cuts are unfair. "The special interests have already begun to scream their favorite word—which, coincidentally, is my 9-year-old son's favorite word when we are making him do something he knows is right but does not want to do—'unfair.' . . . One state retiree, 49 years old, paid, over the course of his entire career, a total of $124,000 towards his retirement pension and health benefits. What will we pay him? $3.3 million in pension payments over his life, and nearly $500,000 for health care benefits—a total of $3.8 million on a $120,000 investment. Is that fair?"
State budget cuts only shift the pain to our towns. "[L]et's remember this, in 2009 the private sector in New Jersey lost 121,000 jobs. In 2009, municipalities and school boards added 11,300 jobs. Now that's just outrageous. And they're going to have to start to lay some people off, not continue to hire at the pace they hired in 2009 in the middle of a recession."
Isn't your talk of 'stopping the tax madness' just another 'Read My Lips' promise? "[Mine is] much better than 'Read my lips.' I'm sorry, it's just much better. Much stronger. . . . It's gonna be how my governorship will rise or fall. I'm not signing a tax increase."
Today, Governor Christie dismissed talk that he is considering a run for the GOP nomination in 2012. The story from The Hill:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Monday said you could count him out of a 2012 White House run.
Christie, a Republican Party darling since winning the governorship of deep-blue New Jersey in 2009, was virtually Shermanesque in rejecting a challenge to President Obama in two years.
"We're not running for president, under any circumstances. No chance," Christie said during an appearance on "Imus in the Morning" on the Fox Business Network. "Mrs. Christie would kick me out of the house; it would be over."
Christie's name has been bandied about as a dark-horse contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, much like Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), another winner last fall whose victory inspired optimism among Republicans going into 2010's elections.
Republican activists have praised Christie for his blunt approach to politics, including his ambitious proposal to cut spending in New Jersey and his willingness to take on the state's powerful unions.
Despite that praise, Christie emphatically denied any interest in running for the White House.
"Absolutely, entirely, no chance. In other words, Don, don't bet the ranch on me running," he said. "I'll give a straight answer: No shot, no chance."
That pretty much leaves Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and South Dakota Senator John Thune to represent the saner wing of the GOP in 2012.

Thousands of singers thronged to stadiums last summer for the 12th season of American Idol—few got a shot at singing before the judges, and fewer still made it to Hollywood for a chance at the finals.
Cherry Hill West student Zach Birnbaum, 16, can now be counted among those lucky few, having come through the New York auditions with a ticket to Hollywood—and the requisite excited leap into his family's exultant arms.
"Getting a, 'Yes, you're through,' it's such a thrill, such an accomplishment," he said. "It was really, really cool. I was proud of myself."
Of course, even getting the chance to impress the four main judges was a challenge.
With just a few seconds to make a great impression at a mass audition at the Prudential Center in Newark, he pegged his shot at stardom with a song that might seem out-of-place for a then-15-year-old's repertoire—Birnbaum went with "Pinball Wizard" from The Who's 1969 rock opera, "Tommy."
While the song might be nearly three times as old as he is, Birnbaum said it was the perfect choice—maybe because it stood out among the thousands of auditions that day in Newark.
"Songs like that are timeless," he said.
The choice certainly fits the bill of budding rock idol, and Birnbaum—who was actually hoping Aerosmith's Steven Tyler had stayed with the judges' panel—looked the part at the auditions. With dark, wavy hair spilling into his eyes and on to his collar at the auditions, he was a baby-faced version of a late '60s or early '70s front man—Syd Barrett or Jim Morrison, perhaps.
Though he might look like them, Birnbaum wasn't trying to emulate any of those legends or affect a personality for his chance at Idol glory, simply letting his own energy shine through.
"I felt that I didn't have to project any personality, I felt like I could be myself…that people could like me for me," he said.
When you talk to Birnbaum about his experience in the audition process, the word "surreal" flavors most sentences—from being in front of the celebrity judges to seeing himself in the moment, on television, to having that ticket to Hollywood in his hands, he said the experience was unlike any other, despite his years of performing experience.
"It was definitely a lot more thrilling—and nervous," he said. "Being prepared to be on T.V. is unlike anything I've ever experienced. I was quite nervous to say the right thing."
He was also flying solo, something odd for him—as the front man for No Commitment, a band made up of East and West students, Birnbaum's grown used to the support of his band mates—guitarist Patrick Oberstaedt, bassist Josh Murtha and drummer Christian Celfo—over the last two years.
"I had to be on point, by myself, and that put a little more pressure on me," Birnbaum said.
While some of his fellow would-be Idols spent hours, if not days, visualizing the process and breaking down every moment ahead of time, Birnbaum said he went in without even once considering what the moment would be like, preferring to go in cold and figure it out on his feet.
Having been through dozens of auditions in the past gave him the confidence he needed to walk into the final audition in Lincoln Center in Manhattan, belt out the opening notes of "Pinball Wizard" in front of Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban, and simply be in the moment.
"I didn't want any regrets…I just went and did it," Birnbaum said.
Though he might have been prepared for the audition, the pieces that surround it—behind-the-scenes interviews and so forth—were a bit beyond Birnbaum's expectations.
"It is a singing competition by nature, but it also has so many other elements to it," he said. "That was—I'll be honest—a little more alien to me than the singing."
Having his family there to support him, and finding friends in his fellow singers helped ease any stress.
"The whole atmosphere is just really friendly," Birnbaum said. "We were all just hanging out and experiencing it together."
No Commitment
Now, with weeks left to go before the Hollywood leg of the competition begins to air—and Birnbaum's mum on anything beyond his audition—he's more focused on No Commitment and the band's plans for 2013.
With their first original album, Hiding What Is Underneath, out on iTunes and Amazon, they're honing their live set for gigs through the year, including planned performances at Great Adventure.
In a basement room at Oberstaedt's home, surrounded by posters of Led Zeppelin and U2, gig flyers for Nirvana at the Roseland Ballroom and Jefferson Airplane and The Who at Tanglewood, and the iconic Abbey Road cover shot, the four blast through some Green Day as a warm-up before settling in to polish their set list.
Coming off their last performance, at Haddonfield's First Night festival, the four are getting set for a shot at a spot in the Skate & Surf Festival, in Round One of the Break Contest this weekend.
And, as always, they're sticking to straight-up rock 'n' roll as they try to make it.
"It speaks to us," Birnbaum said. "All of our roots are in rock...it's always going to be there.
"It's what we love to do."

The pepper market moved up substantially on bullish activities despite liquidation in the first two active contracts on Friday.
Operator cartels are understood to have cornered around 3,000 tonnes of pepper. "The market is being subjected to complete manipulation," the trade alleged.
Prices were being pushed up in the hope that the end users would turn to the cartels, given the tight supply. In the process, genuine hedgers are moving away, having no strength to withstand their onslaught, market sources told Business Line.
They said small and medium players throughout the length and breadth of Kerala have lost their money.
Fresh arrivals
Arrivals from the primary markets continued to remain thin. Eight tonnes of farm grade material arrived and that were traded at Rs 401, 406 and 410 a kg, depending upon the quality, grade and area of production.
Domestic demand was met by sales from Rajasthan and 30-40 tonnes of pepper were reportedly being moved out to consumer markets from Jammu to Nagpur. Karnataka was offering at Rs 405 a kg but the stock there was said to be nearly exhausted, they said.
September contract on the NCDEX increased by Rs 565 a quintal to the last traded price (LTP) of Rs 43,000 a quintal. October and November also went up by Rs 595 and Rs 340 respectively to the LTP of Rs 43,675 and Rs 43,240 a quintal.
Total turnover increased by 1,039 tonnes to 2,335 tonnes. Total open interest at the same time decreased by 86 tonnes to 6,635 tonnes.
September open interest dropped by 39 tonnes. 99 tonnes were tendered for delivery as the contract matured today.
October open interest fell by 135 tonnes to 5,608 tonnes showing liquidation while that of November moved up by 32 tonnes to 743 tonnes.
Spot prices in tandem with the futures market trend increased by Rs 500 a quintal to close at Rs 40,100 (ungarbled) and Rs 41,600(garbled) a quintal.
Indian parity in the international market shot up on increase in the futures market coupled with strengthening of the rupee against the dollar to $8,400 a tonne (c&f) for the Europe and $8,700 a tonne (c&f) for the US and remained totally out-priced.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Microsoft published an interesting article about how to optimize memory consumption of a PowerPivot Data Model in Excel 2013. All these suggestions are also valid for SSAS Tabular. I also wrote an article Checklist for Memory Optimizations in PowerPivot and Tabular Models with a summary of the best practices.
The short list of things to do is very valuable:
The reason is that VertiPaq compress data at column level, creating a dictionary for each column and storing for each row only the number of bits required to store the index to the dictionary. More details in the article Optimizing High Cardinality Columns in VertiPaq I wrote a few months ago and on the SSAS 2012 Tabular book.
A useful macro to analyze memory consumption and quickly identify the most expensive tables and columns in a PowerPivot workbook is available on Kasper De Jonge blog What is eating up my memory the PowerPivot / Excel edition. There is also a version for a Tabular database in his What is using all that memory on my Analysis server instance post.

PEORIA, Ill -- A report released today shows the mild winter season could save the City of Peoria more than $180,000 this year.
In 2012, the city only expects to spend $375,000 of its $562,000 road salt budget.
In addition to those savings, the city is sitting on more than 5000 tons of unused salt which allows them to reduce the amount requested for the following winter. Those savings will be reflected in the 2013 budget.
The lack of snow also meant less need for outside contractors. However, the final impact on the 2012 budget will not be determined until we see what November and December hold for central Illinois.
In 2006, the city used almost 5000 tons of salt and spent more than $200,000 on contractor assistance in just five days following a December 1st snow storm.

- Ross sits; Sweeney, Papi banged up in win
- Salty takes licking, but back in lineup Saturday
- Cook nears rehab stint; Dice-K's next start iffy
- Valentine reflects on first ejection with Sox
PHILADELPHIA -- Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis went 1-for-3 with Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, making him 2-for-5 in his two rehab starts. He was scheduled to play seven innings on Saturday, and manager Bobby Valentine said Youkilis is likely still a couple of games away.
To Valentine, Youkilis' comfort at the plate is the central issue now, as opposed to health.
"When he feels that he's been put through the test, maybe seen a lefty, a righty, whatever he as an experienced hitter feels he needs," Valentine said. "And then, of course, the medical people giving them the green light. But it seems like the green light's on."
Youkilis told the Providence Journal after Friday's rehab game that the ball is in the Sox's court for the timing of his return.
"I feel good. That's the decision for the Red Sox to make [to call me up]," Youkilis said. "I'm just following their orders. When they tell me to come up, I'll come up."
Valentine said Saturday he had told Youkilis to pass on to the team when he feels he's ready, while acknowledging there is rehab schedule in place.
"I told Kevin when he left, when he feels like he's seen the ball enough and he feels good, to let us know," Valentine said. "There's a schedule that's been put out there by the training staff, too. So it's either going to be a little before that schedule or that schedule, I'm not sure."
Ross sits; Sweeney, Papi banged up in win
PHILADELPHIA -- Cody Ross may need further examinations, while Red Sox teammates David Ortiz and Ryan Sweeney came away from a 7-5 win over the Phillies on Saturday feeling less than great.
The X-rays on Ross' left foot came back negative on Saturday, but he walked around the clubhouse with a clear limp after fouling a ball off himself Friday.
"Yeah, I'm still trying to walk on it gingerly, just to let it heal and get some blood flow in there," Ross said. "I could probably if I really tried hard walk normal, but they want me to take it easy."
Further tests may be done once the swelling goes down. While manager Bobby Valentine has not ruled out a trip to the disabled list, Ross felt one was not necessary.
"No," Ross said. "There's no broken bones."
"Got to get all the swelling down," Valentine said.
Ross' injury left the Red Sox outfield thin, and another Sox outfielder was shaken up after a fantastic play on Saturday. Sweeney dove on to the warning track in the seventh to rob Carlos Ruiz in right-center.
"I've got a little bit of a headache right now. My wind was fine," Sweeney said. "I think I've just got like whiplash or something, because I hit the warning track and it was pretty hard, because you're running so fast and then your momentum kind of comes to a stop, so my neck is a little jolted."
Ortiz tripped running to first base and said he wasn't sure if he could go play again on Sunday. Ortiz was already battling a stomach ailment.
"I hit myself hard when I went down," Ortiz said, pointing to his right hip. "Hopefully it's not anything bad."
Salty takes licking, but back in lineup Saturday
PHILADELPHIA -- Twelve stitches and less than a day after some odd bounces left him hurt, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia was back in the Red Sox's lineup on Saturday.
Saltalamacchia received 12 stitches on Friday after a ball clipped him on the left ear while he was catching in a 6-4 loss to the Phillies on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park. A Daniel Bard pitch ricocheted off Phillies hitter Ty Wigginton, then into Saltalamacchia's left arm before hitting his ear.
"It was definitely scary anytime it hits you in the head like that," Saltalamacchia said. "It was pretty direct on after it hit off my arm. I went to the doctor [Friday] night, went to the hospital, and they said everything came back negative, no signs of any concussions or anything. I just had to get some stitches, and good to go.
"It hurts. But as far as any kind of pain moving or hitting or anything, it doesn't bother me."
Saltalamacchia said he has to keep the area clean a few times a day. In making sure Saltalamacchia was not injured beyond what was visible, he went for a CT scan.
Saltalamacchia told manager Bobby Valentine on Friday night he should be good to go for Saturday.
"Salty checked out well at the hospital [Friday] night, he texted me as soon as it was over, said it was ready to go," Valentine said. "Got the clearance, but we waited until he came out today. When he got in the training room, trainers gave him the green light."
Saltalamacchia wears a traditional two-piece catcher's mask. He said he tried the hockey-style catcher's mask -- which may have prevented the injury -- in high school, but was not comfortable with it. He acknowledged how unlikely the incident was.
"It was weird because when it went to go hit [Wigginton], originally, when you throw the ball in, you flinch away [from the batter], just so the backspin doesn't hit you," Saltalamacchia said. "That's kind of what I did. It hit his forearm and perfectly hit my forearm and went right into the ear.
"It went straight down and sliced [the ear] and then, in the middle, it went through. It ripped through and they had to stitch in the back, too."
Cook nears rehab stint; Dice-K's next start iffy
PHILADELPHIA -- Aaron Cook threw a bullpen session Saturday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Manager Bobby Valentine said the team has established a plan for Cook to get on a rehab assignment, but only once Cook's legs are ready. Cook needed stitches in his left knee after his only big league appearance of 2012 on May 5.
"Cook threw a bullpen [session] today, and we do have a plan," Valentine said. "He's running, he ran [Friday], he's running today, when he gets his legs underneath him, I think we're going to try to get him on a rehab assignment."
The stitches made it hard for Cook to keep his legs in shape.
"I couldn't do much running with the stitches in the knee," he said. "We've been doing the [simulation] games. I've been able to ride the bike. I feel like things are progressing the way they need to.
"I feel great. No issues, no setbacks from here on out ... I'd love to tell you one start, two starts, but until I go out there and do it, I really don't know."
Another potential member of Boston's rotation, Daisuke Matsuzaka, remains scheduled to start Tuesday for Triple-A Pawtucket, but Valentine made that seem less than a guarantee.
"It seems like he's a go, but I don't know," Valentine said. "Those 95 pitches [he threw Thursday] may be a little more than he's ready for, but we'll see. I think his elbow feels great."
Valentine indicated the left side of Matsuzaka's neck may still be an issue, and said the righty received an injection for it in Spring Training. Matsuzaka cannot make a Minor League start after May 22 because of the 30-day limit on rehab assignment for pitchers unless a physical condition necessitates it.
"You know that thing up here, that he kind of gets injected, I think it's a chronic thing," Valentine said. "I think he's had it for [awhile]."
Valentine reflects on first ejection with Sox
PHILADELPHIA -- Bobby Valentine's first ejection as Red Sox manager Friday night in a 6-4 loss to the Phillies had some misdirected Big League Chew. First-base umpire Gary Darling, who tossed Valentine out of the game, was chewing gum, and it fell onto a close-ranged Valentine.
"No, it's never happened before," Valentine said.
Asked if Valentine caught it, he said, "No, it hit me in the eye."
Valentine was arguing that Marlon Byrd had beaten shortstop Jimmy Rollins' throw to first base for the second out of the ninth inning because first baseman Ty Wigginton's foot was off the bag.
"I think it was on the bag for awhile, I'm not sure it was on the bag when the ball was caught," Valentine said. "It's a close play, it's a play worth arguing. ... I just was arguing the play. It was close enough to argue."
Valentine acknowledged the difficulty of the call. "You have to slow it down, that's why it's a close play," he said. "What are you going to do? We're all human."
In a coincidence, a figure central to the play, Wigginton, made his Major League debut under Valentine with the Mets in 2002.
